Chapter 56
◎Is Ying Yun a human?◎
Yang Xueyi left the medical forum venue and rushed to the next client company without stopping.
What my colleague's sister said was right. The client was a very elegant man and he looked quite good.
Although due to the high confidentiality of the original translation, other company staff were also responsible for supervising Yang Xueyi while she was translating to prevent her from taking photos or leaking the information, the client had a high emotional intelligence and did things very carefully, which made Yang Xueyi feel that the working environment was not bad, at least the atmosphere was relaxed and pleasant.
Also because of confidentiality requirements, after arriving at the client company, she handed over her mobile phone and locked it in a password box. By the time she finally rushed to finish this urgent translation job, it was almost ten o'clock in the evening.
"Ms. Yang, you've worked so hard. It's getting late now, and I'm afraid it's not safe for you to be alone. Let me take you home."
The client's company was located in a remote industrial park. Yang Xueyi originally wanted to go back by herself, but she really couldn't get a taxi, so she didn't act pretentiously. She just thanked the other party and got in the other's car.
The other party was in the field of medical devices, and he could chat with Yang Xueyi, a medical translator, for a while, so it wasn't too awkward.
The other person had a good sense of propriety, but after sending Yang Xueyi downstairs, he still looked at her and called out to her before she got out of the car: "Can I ask you out alone next time?"
Yang Xueyi was stunned for a moment, then politely declined, "I'm quite busy at the moment, and I might be going to Africa for work soon, so there's a lot of preparation to do."
As expected, the other party paused, and upon hearing the word "Africa", he understood: "Are you planning to work in pharmaceutical overseas shipments?"
Yang Xueyi did not hide it and nodded.
Upon hearing that Yang Xueyi might be going to Africa, the other party did not mention the meeting again. He just politely and tacitly said a few pleasantries to Yang Xueyi and gave her some advice. The two chatted briefly outside the car before saying goodbye to each other.
Yang Xueyi didn't feel disappointed at all. She had never been interested in the other party. However, as soon as he heard that she was going to Africa, he immediately made a strategic retreat and no longer insisted on meeting her. This made Yang Xueyi feel a little bit like "it's true".
Long-distance relationships are difficult to maintain, let alone those in different countries. In modern society, everyone is very busy and more realistic. Indeed, few people are willing to wait for others for several months or even a year or two.
Thinking of this, Yang Xueyi's desire to confess her feelings cooled down a little.
Even if Ying Yun agreed, could the two of them survive the difficult curse of maintaining a relationship in a foreign country?
It was only then that Yang Xueyi saw Ying Yun's message on her phone, saying that he would be home late.
But when she walked into the floor, she found that Ying Yun didn't come back that late.
He happened to be standing at the elevator entrance on the first floor, looking outside through the glass door at the corridor entrance, so his eyes met Yang Xueyi's unexpectedly.
Yang Xueyi looked at Ying Yun from a distance and felt that his expression was a little strange. He was looking at her straight and unrestrainedly.
Only after opening the door and approaching did Yang Xueyi realize what the problem was.
Ying Yun drank.
Because of Ying Yun's mother, Ying Yun rarely drinks and probably doesn't like drinking, but now...
Yang Xueyi frowned slightly, wondering where he got so drunk.
Who did you drink with?
As a result, before Yang Xueyi could open her mouth, Ying Yun spoke first -
"I thought you were waiting for me at home, but it turns out you're out too."
He smiled and said, "Yeah, you have your own life."
Yang Xueyi always felt that Ying Yun's words were a bit sarcastic, but when she really wanted to delve into it, he had already quickly looked away. He looked obviously drunk, which made Yang Xueyi lose the desire to argue with him.
Who would argue with a drunk?
She didn't want to confess her feelings to a drunkard.
However, Ying Yun was drunk, but Yang Xueyi was still sober. It might be because of the high-intensity brain work tonight. Even though it was late at night, she still felt her mind was active and not sleepy at all.
So I decided to look at the study materials in the living room for a while.
Ying Yun might have drunk too much, so he didn't say much and looked depressed. After returning home, he went straight to his room and took a shower.
After a while, he finished washing, put on his pajamas, pushed open the door, and walked to the sofa where Yang Xueyi was sitting.
For some reason tonight, his expression wasn't very good. It was as if he didn't want to have any conversation with Yang Xueyi at this time. But in the end, some emotion overcame his rationality, and Ying Yun whispered, "Why aren't you asleep yet? Can't you sleep?"
Yang Xueyi raised the materials for the next translation project in her hand and said, "I don't quite understand a few professional terms in medical translation, so I'd like to study them further."
Ying Yun paused, as if he had made up his mind, before sitting down next to Yang Xueyi. Before sitting down, he even buttoned up his collar which had been loosened, which made Yang Xueyi want to scold him, as if she wanted to tear the buttons off his clothes.
However, Ying Yun's next words dispelled Yang Xueyi's idea of scolding him.
"Is there anything you don't understand? Do you want me to help you?"
Perhaps because of the alcohol, Ying Yun's voice was a little hoarse and softer than usual, but very sexy.
The sofa soon sank because of his weight, and Yang Xueyi's heart seemed to slide along the dent towards Ying Yun. As if to prevent this from happening, Yang Xueyi deliberately moved her body away from Ying Yun, and the materials in her hand also moved away.
One of the spotlights above was broken, and Ying Yun seemed to have trouble seeing what was in Yang Xueyi's hand, so he sat closer to her.
Although his attitude was colder than before, as if he was deliberately keeping a distance, Ying Yun was surprisingly patient in his explanation. He not only explained to Yang Xueyi the points she had questions about, but also pointed out some derived medical professional terms by analogy.
As she got closer, Yang Xueyi could smell the faint scent of alcohol that remained on his body after he showered.
His white, slender, and bony fingers pointed at the translation material. The lines of his cold profile were superior and clear, and his Adam's apple rolled as he spoke.
Yang Xueyi was distracted and thought it was all because of the smell of alcohol on Ying Yun. The alcohol molecules must have drifted into the air and entered her central nervous system through her sense of smell, making Yang Xueyi feel hot and dizzy.
She became unable to concentrate on listening to Ying Yun's explanation. Ying Yun's tall nose was close to her, his eyelashes drooped, he looked calm and yet had a kind of unintentional sexiness, his facial features were extremely superior.
But she did ask a lot of questions.
Perhaps because Yang Xueyi became more and more excited with her questions, Ying Yun finally realized what was happening. He stopped explaining and looked at her with a slightly frown: "Yang Xueyi, if you keep asking, you're going to have insomnia tonight. You yawned a few times already. If you're sleepy, go to bed and we'll talk tomorrow."
At this point, Yang Xueyi really didn't want to study anymore.
I don't want to sleep either.
She looked at Ying Yun's face, feeling extremely conflicted and almost giving up on herself. Should she just speak up now?
But before she could say anything, Ying Yun came over, staring at Yang Xueyi without blinking, as if he was drunk. Then, as if bewitched, he tilted his head slightly and kissed Yang Xueyi as if by reflex.
Yang Xueyi knew that she shouldn't do this, but at this moment, her rationality turned into misty clouds, and was dispersed by the wind named Ying Yun.
She also wanted to kiss Ying Yun.
She thought so and did so.
Yang Xueyi stood up, straddled Ying Yun's legs, pushed him into the sofa, let her long hair hang down, and leaned down to search for his lips.
Because she was unfamiliar with the business, Yang Xueyi was a little unbalanced. Ying Yun obviously did not expect her sudden action. He was stunned for a moment, but soon subconsciously put his arm around her waist, as if he was afraid that she would fall.
Yang Xueyi kissed his thin lips and licked his lips that were hot from the alcohol.
Ying Yun seemed to struggle briefly for a second, and then quickly, as if by muscle memory, he reached out his hand and touched Yang Xueyi's waist along the hem of her clothes, and his lips moved up to respond to Yang Xueyi's kiss.
Just when the atmosphere was gradually becoming beautiful and sticky, Ying Yun suddenly pushed Yang Xueyi away gently, widening the distance between them, and his whole body was a little defensive and tense.
Under the shadow of the light, his complexion was unclear, his voice was cold, his body movements were full of resistance, and his movements were even more abrupt—
"Yang Xueyi, I'm a little sleepy. I'm going to sleep first."
?
Under Yang Xueyi's shocked gaze, Ying Yun suddenly stood up, turned around and walked away awkwardly with a sullen look on his face, like a person with repressed personality.
No wonder Qiao Qianqian said that men start to go downhill after they turn 25, and when they reach 30, their performance plummets.
I didn’t expect that Ying Yun is only 28 and already... ?
Maybe I was really tired after drinking.
But if Yang Xueyi saw correctly, he looked very energetic.
But soon, Yang Xueyi thought irresponsibly that this kind of physical spirit might just be an alternative kind of last gasp, or a kind of willingness but lack of ability?
Yang Xueyi didn't think much about it. She read some professional books for a while, then went back to her room to sleep yawning.
**
Being drunk didn't have much impact on Ying Yun, because when Yang Xueyi woke up the next day, she found that he had already gone to the hospital to work early without knowing when.
Yang Xueyi was also very motivated. Without thinking too much about anything else, she went to the company quickly.
It's just that she had an ostrich mentality and wanted to delay making decisions on certain things, but life had forced her to face the choice like a duck to a tree - at work that day, Xu Xinran once again asked Yang Xueyi about her attitude towards the job opportunity at Duanfang Biology.
Xu Xinran was very helpful. Because of Yang Xueyi's dilemma, he simply made an appointment with Duanfang Biology's human resources director.
"I think it might be more helpful for you to evaluate this opportunity if you talk to the company directly."
This is indeed the case. The other party's human resources director, Karen, also graduated from the English department. She is an urban beauty in her forties, capable and decisive. She gets along very well with Yang Xueyi and their ideas are very compatible. After reading Yang Xueyi's resume, learning about her previous work experience, and looking at her translation works, she expressed obvious interest in her.
Duanfang Bio is in urgent need of translation talents in preparation for overseas approval. The other party is very eager to recruit, so the salary level and benefits offered are quite considerable.
"Our compensation is second to none in the industry, but the pressure is indeed quite high. You'll have to go on a business trip to Africa right after joining us, but you'll get some time off after completing subsequent projects. There will also be an employee training program in the US in the second half of the year. If you join us, I can ensure you can attend."
Thinking of the American training that was deprived her after she was mistreated in her previous company, Yang Xueyi was very tempted.
Karen said sincerely, "Our CEO Jiang was ill before and is not in good health now, so he is working against the clock. His dream is for our domestic medicines to be exported, breaking the foreign monopoly and allowing our pharmaceutical industry to confidently go global."
She glanced at Yang Xueyi and said, "You are so young, this is a good time to make a breakthrough. Think about this opportunity carefully and give me an answer within two days. If you come, I won't look for anyone else."
"But I'll be frank with you about the downsides of this job. I can't guarantee how long I'll be stationed there, but frequent travel back and forth between the two countries is unavoidable. If you're planning to get married and have children in the near future, that's something to consider."
Karen is like a close sister, gentle, capable and honest.
This was a good opportunity. It would be a lie for Yang Xueyi to say that she was not moved, but after saying goodbye to Karen, she thought of Ying Yun and still felt a little unwilling.
What if, at this moment, as soon as I leave, Ying Yun and An Xin rekindle their old love? What should I do then?
After all, although Ying Yun appears to be restrained and tolerant on the outside, this is actually not the case at all.
Besides, Ying Yun is not a saint, he also has needs. By then, Yang Xueyi will be gone, but his needs will not disappear!
However, perhaps there was a plan in the dark. Yang Xueyi was restless and thinking about how to balance career and love, but she received a call from Qiao Qianqian before lunch break.
She was near Yang Xueyi's company and wanted to have lunch with her.
I thought Qiao Qianqian was just complaining about the pressure of filming as usual on a workday, but I didn't expect that she was a little shy during the whole meal and hesitated to speak several times.
Yang Xueyi was not in a hurry. Sure enough, halfway through the meal, Qiao Qianqian couldn't help but said, "Xiaoxue, I'm in love again."
Yang Xueyi was stunned for a moment, but then she was sincerely happy for Qiao Qianqian: "No wonder you were in such a good mood at the last party. Was someone already in contact with you at that time?"
But she couldn't help but worry: "Although the best way to end a relationship is to start a new one, you shouldn't be too hasty..."
"You know him." Before Yang Xueyi could finish, Qiao Qianqian said something shocking, "Just tell the truth."
"Yu Shi?!"
Qiao Qianqian nodded. Although she had been in love many times, this was the first time Yang Xueyi saw embarrassment on her face.
"You know, I've been in relationships with him. He was comforting me and talking to me about photography all the way home when he dropped me off. I just thought he was kind and didn't think anything of it. Later, because I drank too much that day and vomited, he walked me upstairs. Nothing happened that night. He was a gentleman, always taking care of me and never trying to take advantage of me."
"The next night, after work, he felt a little uneasy about me, so he bought some fruit and came to visit me. I didn't expect anything, but I don't know what happened. The way he tried to tease me with jokes was kind of cute. Maybe it was the good atmosphere, or maybe I was just possessed, but I kissed him, and then the rest happened naturally."
"I originally thought it was just a one-night stand and didn't think about it long-term. He was so good, how could he really want to do anything with me? It was probably just the novelty of our first sexual experience, so when he asked me for an explanation and wanted to be my boyfriend, I didn't dare to agree. I never thought he was serious."
Qiao Qianqian lowered her eyes: "You know, when it comes to relationships, I'm really stupid sometimes. I always rush into things like moths to a flame. After so many times, I say I'm brave, but I'm also afraid. In fact, I'm not as cool as I appear, and I'm also afraid of being hurt."
"Orthopedic surgeons face so many temptations... I really didn't have much confidence, so I said a lot of harsh words to Shi and we argued fiercely."
"But I didn't expect him to get so drunk last night that he came to wait for me downstairs of my apartment. He bought a hundred roses, made a grand confession, and dragged me along to tell me a bunch of his innermost thoughts. It made me believe that he wasn't just doing it for the sake of novelty, and that maybe I had met the right person..."
Yang Xueyi was extremely curious: "What did he say?"
Qiao Qianqian is actually a person who sticks to her ways and is difficult to change once she has made a decision. How did Yu Shi convince her to change her mind?
"Him." Qiao Qianqian covered her mouth and smiled. "He was very angry at first, saying that he couldn't accept a relationship where we were sleeping together without a clear identity. But when he came to me yesterday, he was really pitiful. He said he had thought it through. Self-esteem is worthless in the face of love. He really loves me, so for me, he would be willing to be a slave. If I need him in that aspect, he is willing to be there at my beck and call. He just hopes that if I want to have a boyfriend one day, I will give him priority to become the official boyfriend. He has made me feel so humble..."
"It made me feel so embarrassed. It felt like I was bullying an honest newbie and taking advantage of him. I couldn't win over him, so in the end I just said, let's try dating."
Qiao Qianqian was now immersed in love, even her eyes were smiling.
Yang Xueyi then realized that Qiao Qianqian's previously bare finger now had a small diamond ring on it. Feeling her gaze, Qiao Qianqian pursed her lips and smiled, "He dragged me out to buy it last night after drinking. He didn't mean to get engaged or get married right away, he just said he wanted to buy me a couple's ring. Yu Shi is really something, he looks like a very honest person, but why does he like to do such young things..."
Even though she was complaining, there was happiness on Qiao Qianqian's face.
Qiao Qianqian has always been casual and relaxed about relationships, but now that she can slowly settle down with a suitable and reliable person, Yang Xueyi, as a friend, is sincerely happy for her.
"If you ever get married, I want to sit at the head table!"
"Of course!" Qiao Qianqian returned to her usual casual self and put her arm around Yang Xueyi's shoulders. "You sit at the main table, and Ying Yun, he has to sit at the main table too! After all, if he hadn't called Yu Shi to participate in the basketball game, Yu Shi and I wouldn't have had the chance to meet!"
When Ying Yun was mentioned, it was Yang Xueyi's turn to feel a little uncomfortable.
Unfortunately, Qiao Qianqian didn't realize it and said, "Speaking of Ying Yun, you know? I ate Ying Yun's big melon yesterday!"
"Yu Shi came to see me yesterday and was a little drunk. I was upset at first, but then he explained that he was just drinking with Ying Yun and there was no other girl involved. He was immediately drunk and came to me to confess his love."
"Yu Shi was really drunk yesterday. He kept complaining about the orthopedic surgeon being treated unfairly, and said the same thing about Ying Yun. He's actually a sentimental person. After all these years, he still can't forget his first love and has been devoted to her. Unfortunately, due to some reasons, he didn't dare to confess his love and pursue his first love. He said that some relationships hadn't been sorted out and resolved completely..."
"But Yu Shi was constantly criticizing Ying Yun last night, saying that Ying Yun didn't have the courage to pursue love and take that step, but he, Yu Shi, did..."
Qiao Qianqian couldn't help but sigh: "I'm quite surprised. It turns out that even if you look like Ying Yun, you might still fail in love!"
Yang Xueyi didn't know what to say and just remained silent.
Qiao Qianqian didn't take it seriously: "What kind of girl is this? She has been obsessed with him for so many years. I feel like Ying Yun is that kind of arrogant girl with a very high self-esteem. She is willing to be so humble for love and doesn't even have the courage to confess her feelings."
"But wasn't he still in a relationship with that patient during the last Truth or Dare game? So the only thing left to sort out and resolve is his relationship with that patient? He has to reject and deal with the previous relationship before he can move on to the next one. Then he can go back to his first love with a clean slate and a clear conscience."
Qiao Qianqian was extremely curious, but Yang Xueyi felt her mind go blank and her heartbeat slowed, as if she was walking down the street and suddenly got punched in the face.
Yang Xueyi had thought yesterday whether Ying Yun had gone drinking with An Xin in the evening. Now that she knew that Ying Yun had actually only gone drinking with Yu Shi last night, she did not feel excited at all.
So his restraint and refusal last night was because he wanted to start straightening out his relationship with Yang Xueyi?
We had clearly stated the three rules at the beginning, so if anyone wanted to end it, they just had to raise it openly.
But why didn’t Ying Yun speak?
Is Yang Xueyi an unreasonable person?
Or is it because Yang Xueyi’s insomnia has not been completely cured, so he is embarrassed to bring it up?
"Yu Shi is actually very worried about Ying Yun. We used to be in the same boat, but now that he and I have established a relationship and are no longer single, he dares not tell Ying Yun for fear of upsetting him. So, Xiaoxue, don't let anything slip in front of Ying Yun. Yu Shi even specifically told me not to let Ying Yun know how he got me, for fear that he would be psychologically unbalanced."
What right does Ying Yun have to be mentally unbalanced? He deserves it for not being able to pursue his first love!
But before Yang Xueyi had time to get angry, she heard Qiao Qianqian's sharing again -
"Oh, Xiaoxue! I also heard a shocking piece of news from Yu Shi!"
"Ying Yun's biological father went to see him last night!"
"His real dad is quite influential! He drives a Rolls-Royce! Yu Shi said he feels much richer than his previous dad! He also looks a little familiar, maybe he's often in those financial newspapers!"
…
Opposite Yang Xueyi, Qiao Qianqian sighed that Ying Yun was lucky.
Yang Xueyi knew that she should also be happy for Ying Yun.
Because even if Ying Yun didn't care, people in the world are so superficial. He is obviously the same person, but the treatment he receives is so different because of his different identity and status.
Having a wealthy biological father is a plus. Ying Yun no longer has to endure the ridicule and suppression behind his back, no longer has to live a tight life, and no longer has to hold his head up high.
However, Yang Xueyi felt very complicated and even felt that there was nothing wrong with Ying Yun being poor.
"Xiaoxue! You were so far-sighted and insightful in taking Ying Yun in! You helped Ying Yun when he was in trouble. Ying Yun will definitely be grateful to you and repay you well in the future! You have connections now!"
Qiao Qianqian's tone was excited, but Yang Xueyi was not happy at all.
The more she listened, the more furious she felt!
Is Ying Yun a human?
Since he already has money, why didn't he return his 60,000 yuan right away?!
She wants it back immediately! With interest!
