0017 Night Rose - C.TLAY, Night.17 (Second update) Stupid blockhead! Stinky stone!
The fisherman kicked the gravel with the toe of his shoe, and dirty water and mud splashed onto the surface of his shoe.
Ruan Mei cursed as she walked towards the shop. The inner street became quiet as night fell. Flying insects with flapping wings flew into the dim light and scurried around in the moisture surrounding the light bulbs, trying to escape, but they could never resist the temptation of the light.
Slowly, she heard the sharp barking of the old lady's puppies. She lowered her head and stared at Chen Shanye's mobile phone number. Her fingers wandered for a long time, and finally pressed the number when she walked to the iron gate.
But the microphone came with a report that the phone was turned off.
"Ah, it's still turned off? Chen Shanye, you annoying bastard!"
Ruan Mei stomped her feet and pressed the "Hang Up" button on the screen.
Suddenly, she heard the sound of shoes stepping into a puddle behind her. She was startled, and before she could turn around, she heard a faint voice from behind: "My phone is out of battery and turned off."
Ruan Mei was frightened by the sudden voice and broke out in a sweat. She turned around suddenly and saw Chen Shanye, wearing black pants and a white shirt, walking towards her.
The discomfort that had been pent up in her heart for the past two weeks, the traffic jam and heavy rain this evening, the rear-end collision and the scratches, the chance encounter in the rain and the umbrellas pushing back and forth, the paper scraps stuck in her wet hair, and the past mentioned at dinner, made her vent her sudden anger on Chen Shanye.
"What are you doing?" Ruan Mei slapped his firm, slightly bulging chest with a loud and crisp slap. "Why did you suddenly appear? You scared me to death!"
Chen Shanye stood there like a sandbag, letting her vent her anger, but the girl's slap was like a tickle, which made all the grievances he had felt for the past two weeks disappear.
Pop.
"Didn't you say I'm not responsible? Why are you still looking for me?" Ruan Mei glared at him, her palms slightly hot from being rubbed by the shirt.
"I'm here to return the umbrella." Chen Shanye hooked the umbrella rope with his index finger, and the neatly folded small umbrella swayed in the air.
Snap...
"What about you blocking me?" Ruan Mei pursed her lips with a look of grievance, as if she had forgotten that she was the one who blocked the other person first.
"...I was just about to look for you, but my phone ran out of battery. I was in a hurry to go out this morning and forgot to bring my power bank, and the data cable in my friend's car is not my model, so after sending that customer off, I came here to wait for you." Chen Shanye explained one by one without mentioning the discomfort he felt when he saw the little red dot.
The heavy rain did not lower the temperature, and the moist heat was too scorching.
The man didn't know how long he had been waiting. There was sweat on his forehead and neck. Two buttons of his shirt were undone, and his shoulders and chest were wet with sweat and raindrops from fallen leaves.
Ruan Mei didn't look into his eyes again. She didn't want to understand the undercurrent in those eyes that were like black whirlpools, so she just stared at the back of her hand that was pressed against his chest.
The slapping sound gradually became smaller, and Chen Shanye finally felt that the small hand was scratching his chest gently like a cat's claw, and the fire that had been suppressed for more than half a month was reignited.
Ruan Mei wanted to get straight to the point, as a question had been weighing on her mind for days. However, just as she opened her mouth, she was interrupted by a shrill horn and flashing headlights. They both looked to the other side of the street at the same time, and the white light from the headlights made them squint their eyes.
The inner street was narrow and could only accommodate one car. The driver of the car was not very polite and did not slow down when he saw someone standing on the roadside.
Ruan Mei quickly took two steps back, held Chen Shanye's forearm and pulled him to stand on the sidewalk. Her back lightly hit the carved black pillars of the iron gate, and a clang sound shook off the water droplets hanging on the metal.
As the tires passed by, a string of water splashed on Chen Shanye's pants. The car quickly drove away, and the road regained its peace for a moment.
The two of them were very close to each other again, as if there were magnets secretly hidden in their blood, and they couldn't help but want to get closer.
Ruan Mei lowered her head, her eyes fixed on the second button of her shirt. She moved her hand, which was supporting Chen Shanye's forearm, down, half-circled his wrist, and placed her thumb on his steadily beating pulse.
She whispered, "Chen Shanye, is that kid in your WeChat profile picture your child?"
The pulse at my fingertips didn't race. Chen Shanye's answer came from above my head: "Yes."
"...So, you're married?"
Her slightly trembling fingers gently pressed against his skin. Chen Shanye lowered his eyes and replied, "Yes. I told you, I took advantage of you before. I'm sorry."
His wrist was suddenly pinched by fingers for a moment, and then quickly released. Chen Shanye's heart also seemed to be suddenly tightened and then released.
Knowing the answer did not relieve the restlessness in her heart, but instead made her feel more wet and foggy, making it impossible for her to breathe.
Ruan Mei's eyebrows knitted together as she opened her mouth and exhaled, her chest rising and falling rapidly. She knew she had no right to ask about Chen Shanye's private life, but she couldn't help but say, "So you're cheating on me?"
Chen Shanye knew that whatever he did in his current position would be inappropriate, so he could only apologize: "I'm sorry."
Ruan Mei snatched the umbrella from his fingers, and the temperature in her voice dropped suddenly: "Why are you saying sorry to me?"
She raised her hand and pushed Chen Shanye, but the man was as firm as a rock and didn't move at all. She raised her eyes and glared at him, then pushed hard against his chest with both hands: "You are sorry for your family, your wife, and your son..."
Chen Shanye looked at her eyes filled with emotions, and remembered that a year ago, she had looked at him with the same eyes, filled with anger, sadness, and grievance.
The fingers hanging by his legs scratched the edge of his pants, then clenched into fists.
He stepped back and stepped off the sidewalk.
Ruan Mei fumbled around in her bag, furious with herself for looking for a one-night stand. Aren't those little toys nice? The airbag was so small, why couldn't she even find her keys?
Why can't she do anything well?
He finally found the key, but didn't hold on tightly, and it fell to the wet red brick floor with a thud.
She quickly squatted down to pick it up, but someone was faster than her.
Chen Shanye picked up the key chain, wiped the few metal pieces that were stained with dirty water on his pants, and handed them to Ruan Mei.
Ruan Mei went to get it, but the key tag was held between Chen Shanye's thumb and index finger. She pulled it but couldn't get it out.
"You, let go..." She pulled hard.
Chen Shanye did not let go, but held on even tighter, so much so that one or two veins appeared on his forearm.
His straight black bangs drooped in front of his forehead, and a small frown formed between his thick eyebrows. He asked in a low voice: "Ruan Mei, can you give me a few minutes to listen to my explanation?"
