Chapter 11: Chasing the person back and dumping him
Cen Wan stood in front of the hospital entrance. The people coming and going behind her seemed to have become a blur in the background. She stood at the intersection, looking up at the bustling crowd, and her heart suddenly felt empty.
The familiar smell of disinfectant brought her back to her senses. She did not go into the hospital. Instead, she hailed a taxi and took it back to her community.
After entering the door, she turned on the switch beside her, and warm yellow light flooded the room, but the feeling did not diminish in the slightest.
It's too quiet and too spacious.
She stood quietly by the door, and it was at this time that Jiang Yuan called.
"Ah Wan, are you home yet? I just stayed up all night revising the script for two days, and finally satisfied the producer. I'm almost dying of exhaustion, so I wanted to come find you to recharge, hehe..."
Cen Wan listened to the complaining yet energetic voice on the other end of the phone and unconsciously curled her lips: "I just got home, come over."
Jiang Yuan: "Okay, wait for me for an hour, see you later!"
Cen Wan hung up the phone and smiled. She seemed to be able to imagine the scene of Jiang Yuan hurriedly packing his things and rushing to her.
She bent down to change her shoes and her knee was pulled again, and she gasped.
Not wanting to make Jiang Yuan worry, she changed into slippers, took the medicine box from the shelf, and sat on the sofa to treat her wound.
A piece of skin fell off my knee and the blood stuck to my skirt. It was excruciatingly painful when I tore it off.
Cen Wan gritted her teeth and, without hesitation, quickly and decisively removed her skirt. She disinfected it, applied a bandage, and then tended to the scrapes on her palms.
She'd been through worse injuries and endured tougher circumstances before, and there was no need to be sentimental now.
After she cleaned up and took a shower, the doorbell rang.
Through the video doorbell, she saw half of Jiang Yuan's face hidden behind the bag.
"Ah Wan, open the door, I have no hands!"
Cen Wan opened the door, and Jiang Yuan walked in sideways like a crab, holding a bunch of bags.
"Why did you buy so many things?"
Jiang Yuan put the things on the coffee table and stretched his sore shoulders while saying, "I just passed by that cake shop. They still had the ice cream cake you like, so I bought a few different flavors. You can put them in the refrigerator and eat them slowly."
"I smelled the aroma of barbecue when I passed by a late-night snack shop, so I packed up two servings of crayfish."
Cen Wan: "Do barbecue and crayfish taste the same?"
Jiang Yuan waved his hand and said, "They are all from the same store, there is no difference."
"Oh, by the way, I also bought two cups of milk tea. How about it? Is it fully prepared?"
Cen Wan curled her lips. The room suddenly became crowded and lively, filled with the aroma of food. She hadn't eaten dinner, and her taste buds were aroused. She was really a little hungry.
The two sat down on the carpet. Jiang Yuan took a sip of milk tea and sighed, "My first payment has arrived. I'll ask you to order some male models someday! I heard from my colleagues that there are some new models on the bar street. They're pretty good looking."
Cen Wan knew she was just talking nonsense: "Based on your style, I thought you were going tonight."
Jiang Yuan showed a look of regret and shrugged: "I wanted to go tonight, but unfortunately I stayed up all night for two consecutive nights and my body is exhausted. I have no energy to do it."
"I finally understand what it means to be powerless."
Cen Wan reached out to open the box of crayfish, and Jiang Yuan's attention was instantly drawn to it: "It smells so good, so good. It's more important to fill your stomach first."
Cen Wan put on gloves and peeled two, when she suddenly felt a dull pain, burning and stinging in her palms.
She lowered her eyes and took a look. It must have irritated the wound and broken the skin.
She took off her gloves, wiped herself with a wet towel, and then stood up with the help of the sofa.
Jiang Yuan, still biting a shrimp tail, looked at Cen Wan in confusion: "What's wrong with your leg?"
Cen Wan smiled and said, "It's okay. I accidentally fell and got a little skin broken."
Jiang Yuan opened his mouth slightly and raised his hand to grab Cen Wan's pajamas.
Cen Wan dodged back and met Jiang Yuan's puzzled expression.
"You have crawfish seasoning all over your hands."
"Oh," Jiang Yuan looked at his red hands and laughed dryly, "Isn't this a conditioned reflex? Are you really okay?"
Cen Wan: "It's okay, I'm talking to you peacefully now, right?"
"That's fine," Jiang Yuan lowered his head and continued to peel crayfish. Suddenly, he remembered, "How's your stone doing?"
Cen Wan was startled for a moment, then smiled and said, "I bought a plane ticket for the day after tomorrow, going to southern Yunnan."
Jiang Yuan: "Are you going alone? Are your colleagues going?"
Cen Wan was helpless: "I'm taking a job outside."
"Oh, yes," Jiang Yuan realized, "but I'm still a little worried about you being alone."
Cen Wan sat down again and turned to look at her: "I often went into the mountains alone in the past few years. Don't worry, it's okay."
"If this order can be successfully secured, it will cover my grandmother's medical expenses for half a year.
Jiang Yuan: "Then you must keep in touch with me at all times! Report your safety to me every day!"
Cen Wan: "Okay. Don't worry, eat quickly, it will get cold soon."
Jiang Yuan's attention then turned back to the crayfish: "Don't move, I'll peel it for you!"
…
On the other side, in the beautifully lit bar, the music thumped to the beat of drums, the sound deafening. On the dance floor, men and women gathered together to revel, twisting their bodies wildly, the atmosphere was fiery.
In the special seat on the second floor, Shen Yixiao lazily leaned on the sofa, drinking alone with a cold expression.
When Qin Yanxiu arrived, there were already a lot of empty bottles in front of Shen Yixiao.
He took off his mask and jokingly said, "Hey, Brother Yi is drinking to drown his sorrows!"
Shen Yixiao raised his eyelids: "If you want to drink, drink. If not, get out."
Qin Yanxiu shrugged, sat down on the sofa, and looked at the person opposite him: "Let me guess, you look like you are trapped in love, right?"
Shen Yixiao glanced at him coldly: "If you don't want to live, just say it."
Qin Yanxiu subconsciously touched his chin. The injury he had sustained a few days ago had just healed.
He poured himself a glass of wine, leaned leisurely on the sofa, and gently shook the glass. The amber liquid hit the wall of the glass and spread out in circles.
Qin Yanxiu said nonchalantly: "You called me to come out, but you didn't let me talk. You are really hard to please."
Shen Yixiao narrowed his eyes slightly: "Drinking can't stop you from talking?"
Qin Yanxiu: "That's different."
Drinking is not as fun as gossiping.
But he didn't dare say this out loud, for fear of getting beaten again.
He took a sip of wine, but still couldn't help himself: "You just took her away in the afternoon, and you came here to drink alone in the evening. Did you quarrel again?"
"I think she seems to have a good temper. Did you get angry?"
Shen Yixiao's eyes darkened.
Is she good-tempered?
He is as stubborn as a donkey, unyielding and cold-hearted.
Qin Yanxiu said tentatively, "If you can't let her go, go after her. Why are you sitting here feeling depressed?"
Shen Yixiao cast a stern gaze at him, and Qin Yanxiu quickly changed his words: "Let me put it this way, I have a friend..."
"This friend can't let go of his ex-girlfriend, but he can't save face..."
Shen Yixiao lowered his eyes. Which eye of his saw that he couldn't let go?
He had long forgotten Cen Wan.
Qin Yanxiu continued chattering: "My suggestion is, either bring him back, or treat him as dead."
"I really can't swallow this anger. I'll just get her back and dump her. That'll make things even."
"If all else fails, I'll endure it for a bit and seduce her. When she falls in love with me, I'll dump her and avenge you."
"Anyway, I have a face that's always good, no woman can... eh, are you leaving now?"
Before Qin Yanxiu finished speaking, Shen Yixiao had already stood up and picked up his coat, becoming more and more annoyed as he listened.
"You're leaving before I even get comfortable?"
Shen Yixiao: "If it's not hot, find someone to warm it up for you. I think there are many people who would be happy to do so."
"Fuck!" Qin Yanxiu couldn't help but burst out with his national essence, "We agreed not to mention this!"
Because of his exquisite and charming face, many girls and boys like Qin Yanxiu.
There is even a special ranking online: the male celebrities that most people want to turn gay.
Qin Yanxiu ranked first, but was also regarded as the one below.
He was often ridiculed for this.
"Brother Yi, you have no moral principles!"
Shen Yixiao: "I have low morals."
Qin Yanxiu: "..."
Shen Yixiao's bony fingers tapped the table in front of him casually, and he sincerely suggested: "Eat less salt, and go to work when you have nothing to do."
"Um???"
Shen Yixiao didn't even turn his head: "I'm leaving first."
Qin Yanxiu realized belatedly that this guy was meddling too much.
He looked at Shen Yixiao's back and muttered softly: "Anyway, it wasn't me who was dying or living."
He was waiting for the day when he would be slapped in the face.
