Chapter 93 Cen Wan, do you have no heart?
As dusk fell, the entire mountaintop fell into a peaceful harmony.
A bonfire was lit next to the tent, and the men sat around drinking and playing games. The warm lights under the sky and the blue Milky Way complemented each other.
The whisper of the wind mixed with the laughter beside me gradually entered my ears.
Cen Wan sat in the open space, watching the fiery sunset in the sky slowly sink, the golden clouds disappear bit by bit, the sky turned blue, and finally only a few stars remained.
The chirping of insects and birds on the top of the mountain and the quiet grass and trees all around have a magical power that makes people calm down, empty their minds, feel, and think.
Cen Wan turned sideways and looked to the side. Shen Yixiao was leaning lazily on a stool, holding a handful of cards in his hand, occasionally throwing one out nonchalantly.
The bonfire danced and reflected on his face, and his tall nose cast a shadow on the side of his face. In the semi-light and semi-darkness, his face was still so handsome that it made people's heart beat faster.
The darkness concealed people's expressions, but magnified their senses. Cen Wan looked at them for a long time, almost greedily, before looking away. This was the last time.
"Wanwan, follow me!"
Jiang Yuan's voice came from behind. She disappeared for a long time, and then suddenly appeared, mysteriously wanting to take her to a place.
She pulled Cen Wan to the edge of the camp, where there was a viewing platform with an astronomical telescope on it.
"Is that what you were just fiddling with?"
Jiang Yuan nodded: "Yes, it's just too difficult to install. We fiddled with it for a while according to the instructions before we got it installed. You can try it."
Cen Wan curled her lips, a hint of tenderness flashing in her eyes: "Did you really bring the telescope up here?"
"Ji Yuanchen had it brought up early."
At that time, she just wanted to give it a try and asked Ji Yuanchen if he could help carry the telescope up the mountain. Unexpectedly, he already had one, and it was professional grade, so she didn't have to borrow it.
Cen Wan put her eyes close to the eyepiece, adjusted the parameters, and slowly turned the knob, and the entire universe came into view.
The brilliant galaxies slowly spread out in the boundless universe like dancing silk, magnificent and dazzling, with brilliant colors.
It is so far away, but it is enough to shock people and make them sigh at the vastness of the universe and the insignificance of human beings.
Cen Wan watched for a long time, her heart slowly calming down. She took a step back and waved towards Jiang Yuan: "Yuanyuan, come and see too."
Jiang Yuan leaned over and couldn't help but exclaimed, "Wow, this is so shocking. I suddenly understand why you like to study this so much."
Cen Wan looked up at the starry sky. Without a telescope, she could see the stars in the sky. They were deep, gorgeous and fascinating.
Not far away, Shen Yixiao leaned against the railing with one hand in his pocket, his dark eyes staring at her without blinking.
Time passes by every second.
Until a cheer came from the crowd: "There really is a shooting star! Look!"
A light blue meteor with a long tail streaked across the sky, instantly filling the lonely night.
The crowd cheered continuously and everyone took out their equipment to record.
Jiang Yuan excitedly shook Cen Wan's arm: "Wan Wan, make a wish!"
After saying that, she clasped her hands together and closed her eyes.
The trajectory of the meteor was elegant, drawing a fleeting stroke on the sky, and then the light gradually dissipated, the night returned to silence again, leaving only the cheering crowd on the side.
Cen Wan watched the falling meteor quietly for a long time before she looked away. She glanced sideways and saw Shen Yixiao standing beside her.
Their eyes met, she paused, turned around as if nothing had happened, and went back to the tent with Jiang Yuan.
Everyone was still playing games and chatting outside, and she was not interested.
The nights in the mountains were very cold. Cen Wan and Jiang Yuan lived in the same tent. Gu Zhiyuan's tent was right next to them, and they could occasionally hear her voice.
Shen Yixiao came to see her once, and the two of them whispered something, but no one knew what they were talking about. The sound was faint and could be heard by both of them.
Jiang Yuan frowned: "If you want to talk, why don't you go further away and disturb others' rest?"
Cen Wan looked much better. She sat cross-legged on the mat and said softly, "I don't think about this anymore. Don't worry about it."
Jiang Yuan couldn't help but vent, "Didn't he let you live in his house? I thought he couldn't let you go, but now he has a marriage partner and they're still going strong. So why would he bother with you?"
She actually thought that if Shen Yixiao really couldn't let go of Cen Wan, it would be nice for them to get back together. This would make Cen Wan happier and more relaxed.
Cen Wan has had a very hard time in the past few years, and she also knows that Cen Wan still has feelings for him.
Unexpectedly, she gave up before she had the chance to bring them together.
Cen Wan was surprisingly calm: "We have no relationship in the first place. It's his freedom to marry or start a new relationship. It's only a matter of time."
Jiang Yuan didn't want to make her unhappy, so he dropped the topic.
At the same time, outside the tent, beside the campfire, Shen Yixiao sat on a chair with his eyes half closed and his expression unclear.
Gu Zhiyuan had originally thought of many clever ideas to test Cen Wan's feelings, but since she was hiding in the tent and refused to come out, she had no choice.
She glanced at Shen Yixiao's gloomy face and was about to say something but then shut up.
After Qin Yanxiu finished replying the message and turned off the screen, he looked at Shen Yixiao with great interest: "What's going on here?"
When Ji Yuanchen heard this, he quickly leaned over.
Everything was fine the night before, but everything went to pieces the next day?
Shen Yixiao slowly raised his eyelids: "What?"
"What's going on between you and Miss Cen?"
Shen Yixiao stared at the jumping bonfire, a small flame flickering in his eyes, and said in a cold tone: "It's okay."
Qin Yanxiu looked at Shen Yixiao's face full of dissatisfaction. Is this what you call nothing?
He is the most stubborn person in the whole body.
"You're just sitting here with a cold face, okay?"
Didn’t they gather around them a long time ago?
Ji Yuanchen nodded frantically, that’s right.
Shen Yixiao raised his eyebrows and looked at the two of them, his tone suppressing anger: "Come and practice if you're bored."
Qin Yanxiu: "...Forget it."
Ji Yuanchen looked up at the sky. He knew nothing and asked nothing.
The villain in Gu Zhiyuan’s heart raised his hand: I know, I know!
Why don't you ask her?
Unfortunately, she could only keep her mouth shut.
She was also very distressed. If Shen Yixiao couldn't handle Miss Cen, would he still help her?
…
After nightfall, everyone went back to their tents to rest.
Cen Wan couldn't sleep, so she sat up, tucked the quilt for Jiang Yuan, put on a coat, bent down and walked out of the tent.
The night on the mountain was exceptionally quiet and cold, with only the rustling of the wind through the treetops. She stood on the top of the mountain and looked into the distance. The brightly lit city seemed to be separated from the lonely mountain by a chasm.
The air was filled with the moisture of dew, filling my chest little by little.
Cen Wan stood there for a long time, until her hands and feet felt cold before she was ready to go back.
Just turning around, I saw a figure sitting on the stool, and my heart skipped a beat, and I was shocked.
When she looked carefully, she found that the man was also looking at her with his eyes open, but his figure was hidden in the darkness and could not be seen clearly.
"Miss Cen can't sleep?"
It was not until he spoke that Cen Wan was sure that the man was Qin Yanxiu.
"Mr. Qin is still outside so late?"
Qin Yanxiu leaned back in his chair, a cigarette flickering between his fingertips, emitting a flash of scarlet in the darkness.
"I'm used to it."
His voice was a little hoarse, and seemed a little lonely in this empty night.
However, Cen Wan did not delve into it. She nodded and walked back.
When passing by him, Qin Yanxiu suddenly said: "You have hurt Ayi once."
Cen Wan paused.
"That time, it cost him half his life."
"I don't want it to happen again."
Qin Yanxiu's voice was so soft, so soft that it almost disappeared into the night.
Cen Wan's heart felt like it was cut open, bringing out her bloody past.
She stiffened and quickened her pace.
…
The next morning, the large army packed up and returned to the city.
At the foot of the mountain, Gu Zhiyuan got straight into Shen Yixiao's car.
Jiang Yuan wanted to go back to the crew with Qin Yanxiu, and specifically asked Ji Yuanchen to send Cen Wan back.
After saying goodbye to Jiang Yuan, Cen Wan got into Ji Yuanchen's car without even glancing at Shen Yixiao.
Shen Yixiao's fingers gripping the steering wheel tightened slightly, and she really didn't react at all.
Gu Zhiyuan was also paying close attention to the situation over there: "You..."
Before she could finish her words, the car suddenly rushed out. She quickly tightened her seat belt: "Slow down, do you want to murder me?"
Shen Yixiao's jawline was tense, and he said nothing.
Gu Zhiyuan didn't dare to provoke him at this time, so he quickly grabbed the handle and discussed with him.
"How about you drop me off at the next intersection? I'll have the driver come pick me up..."
"Shut up."
"oh."
Ji Yuanchen watched Shen Yixiao's car drive away quickly, then turned to look at Cen Wan, his mind racing: "Miss Cen, what happened between Brother Yi and Gu Zhiyuan may not be true, and the marriage is still unfinished. You..."
Cen Wan nodded at him and interrupted him: "Sorry to bother you, Young Master Ji."
Ji Yuanchen: "... then you sit down."
Shen Yixiao's car soon disappeared, so Ji Yuanchen had no choice but to turn on the music and dutifully sent him back to No. 1 Mansion.
An hour had passed since Shen Yixiao returned to No. 1 Mansion. He suppressed his anger and prepared to have a good talk with Cen Wan.
As soon as I got out of the elevator, I ran into Cen Wan who was coming out of home.
She carried her bag on her shoulder and a few bags in her hands. These were the only things she brought with her when she moved in. The rest were bought for her by Shen Yixiao later.
Shen Yixiao's eyes suddenly darkened: "Are you leaving?"
Cen Wan didn't expect him to come back so soon. Her fingers holding the bag clenched tighter and tighter, and her fingertips turned white.
She bit the inside of her lip and looked up at him: "I wanted to tell you on WeChat, you're back just in time."
"I'm no longer suitable to live with you. I've already found a house. Thank you for taking care of me these days."
Shen Yixiao looked at her quiet little face, his eyes darkening gradually: "House? Can you find a suitable house?"
Cen Wan: "Anyway, I have a place to live, so I won't bother you."
After she finished speaking, she raised her foot to leave, but an arm blocked her forcefully.
Shen Yixiao glared at her, his voice cold and gloomy: "Don't forget, this is the condition you promised me."
Cen Wan glanced at her sideways. "I know. I can offer other conditions in exchange. But if you want to marry Miss Gu, it really isn't appropriate for me to live here any longer."
She was also a girl, and she could deceive herself before, thinking that living under the same roof was no big deal. But now that Shen Yixiao had a marriage partner, it would be inappropriate for her to live with him.
After all, no girl can accept that there is another woman living in her future partner's house.
Shen Yixiao looked at her cold expression, and his fingers clenched into fists little by little.
"Knowing that I'm going to marry someone else, you don't have anything to tell me?"
Cen Wan curled her lips and said, "I've also heard about Miss Gu's family background. She's definitely a good match for you. Besides, Miss Gu is lively and lovely, simple and kind. She's also a very good person."
"You two...are a good match. I wish you happiness."
Shen Yixiao stared at her face intently, his eyes moving slowly over her, not missing a single expression on her face.
Her eyes were clear and sincere, and everything she said was true.
Shen Yixiao's chest heaved violently, anger burning every inch of his meridians, his blood boiling, and a dangerous storm seemed to be brewing in his dark eyes.
He approached her step by step, his face cold and his brows rimed with frost.
Cen Wan was forced to retreat step by step until her back hit the door that had just closed.
"Are all the things you said true?"
His voice was terribly low, carrying an invisible sense of oppression, and his dark, narrow eyes were like a sharp blade, with a cold light that could penetrate people's hearts.
Cen Wan dug her nails into her palms tightly: "Yes."
"Do you really want me to be with another woman?"
Cen Wan gritted her teeth and said, "You deserve better, and I will bless you..."
Before she could finish her words, she suddenly felt a strong gust of wind passing by her face. Her breathing stopped and she subconsciously closed her eyes.
Shen Yixiao looked at her shivering body and frightened expression. Could it be that she thought he was going to attack her?
Shen Yixiao punched the wall next to him, the veins on his neck tensed, and he suppressed all the anger in his body.
He stared at her intently, his eyes crimson, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Cen Wan, do you have no heart?"
Cen Wan's eyes were hot. Looking at the gloom and anger in Shen Yixiao's eyes, her heart felt like it was being torn and kneaded by a pair of hands, and her fingertips curled up.
She opened her mouth, but no syllable came out.
Shen Yixiao looked at her pale face, his pupils were dark and gloomy, and his voice sounded like a warning and a threat.
"One month, not even a day less."
"Otherwise, I'm not sure what I would have done."
Cen Wan moved her lips: "Don't you consider Miss Gu's mood and feelings?"
Shen Yixiao sneered, his expression surly: "Don't say it has nothing to do with her, even if it does, don't even think about leaving."
"I don't want to force you, but if you insist on leaving, I don't mind using other means."
Other means? What means?
Cen Wan's eyelashes kept trembling, and when she raised her eyes, she met Shen Yixiao's deep eyes.
Full of paranoia.
He is serious.
Four years have passed and they are no longer the same as before.
Shen Yixiao entered his fingerprint and opened the door, then looked up and motioned her to come in.
This time, he would keep her no matter what.
Even if she disliked him, he didn't care.
