When Yu Jinheng found Cen Yu, he was smoking on the terrace outside the living room.
He leaned against the waist-high glass, a cigarette between his fingers, gazing at the sea view. The wind blew the hem of his clothes. Yu Jinheng slightly increased the weight of his steps, and Cen Yu immediately turned around. Upon seeing it was him, he asked, "Take me to the airport?"
"I couldn't find you just now." Yu Jinheng looked at the luggage Cen Yu had placed beside him. "I thought you had left first."
Cen Yu, with a cigarette between his fingers, said, "The sea view here is quite nice."
Yu Jinheng followed Cen Yu's gaze and saw that since this was a private beach, there were no crowds of people. Now that the filming crew was gone, the staff had left, and all the camera equipment had been removed, it was indeed very quiet.
The waves kept crashing against the beach. Yu Jinheng looked at the scenery in Cen Yu's eyes for a while before saying, "We still have some time, let's go for a walk."
"Okay." Cen Yu walked over with a cigarette in his hand.
Upon catching a whiff of smoke, Yu Jinheng coughed a few times instinctively. He noticed Cen Yu had a cigarette in his mouth, then shrugged, "Sorry, it wasn't on purpose."
Yu Jinheng lowered his hand from his mouth.
His gaze fell on the ashtray next to the teak chair. In the past, Cen Yu would probably have put out his cigarette when he saw him coming.
Even if you didn't put it out at the time, you would most likely put it out after seeing yourself coughing.
Perhaps because his gesture of looking at the ashtray was too obvious, Cen Yu, with a cigarette in his mouth, mumbled, "Didn't you say you wanted to try smoking?"
"Then let's try secondhand smoke too."
Cen Yu is angry.
Yu Jinheng wasn't stupid; of course, he sensed Cen Yu's hidden anger.
He guessed that the other party had seen the rumors circulating online, Yu Xinyu's purpose, and the things he had said after coming to the show. The other party had seen through all of this, so it seemed reasonable for him to be angry.
When Yu Jinheng returned to the villa, he saw the empty bedroom and the open terrace door, assuming that Cen Yu had already left the villa after seeing the news online.
He was unwilling to give up, after all, it was far from the airport and not easy to get a taxi, so he searched around the villa again, and finally found that the other person was actually outside the most conspicuous living room terrace - it's just a pity that he was too anxious at the time, thinking only of going back to the room on the second floor to find Cen Yu, and forgot to look here.
Cen Yu walked past Yu Jinheng into the living room, slipping on his slippers, and noticed that there were no footsteps behind him.
He then turned to look at Yu Jinheng, who was still standing on the terrace—
"Didn't you say you wanted to go to the beach?"
"Aren't you coming over?"
...
There's nothing fun to do at the beach.
Cen Yu's cigarette had long since burned out, and he had no intention of smoking another one. He took out a portable cigarette case from his pocket and then stubbed out his cigarette.
Just as he was about to put it away, he heard Yu Jinheng beside him say, "Can I have one?"
Cen Yu turned his head, his face expressionless. In the past, he probably would have refused, but now there was no need for him to refuse. So he simply took out a cigarette and a lighter from his pocket and tossed them to Yu Jinheng.
Yu Jinheng took it somewhat hurriedly.
He opened Cen Yu's cigarettes, took one out, lit it, and then returned the lighter and cigarette to Cen Yu.
Cen Yu took it.
Yu Jinheng tried pulling a few times—
He was still coughing, looking quite disheveled. He had a cigarette in one hand and covered his mouth with the other, his whole body hunched over as if he were about to break at any moment.
"Alright."
Cen Yu walked over, took the cigarette from Yu Jinheng's hand, and stubbed it out in the portable ashtray. Just as he was about to put it in his pocket, he heard Yu Jinheng cough a few times and ask.
"Can I have it?"
"?" Cen Yu was puzzled, and held up the portable ashtray in his hand. "This?"
Yu Jinheng nodded. "I can buy it."
Cen Yu scoffed at this and casually tossed the thing to Yu Jinheng, saying, "It's worthless, take it and play with it."
He looked at the sea view in front of him. Yu Jinheng beside him didn't say anything. They said they came to take a walk, but the two of them just stood on the beach... Cen Yu looked down at the sand that had slipped into his flip-flops. "Never mind, let's go."
He turned to look at Yu Jinheng, who was dressed neatly and was even wearing leather shoes.
Ugh, I wonder how uncomfortable it must be to have sand in your face.
He didn't want to ask where Yu Jinheng came from or who he was meeting while dressed so neatly; it was none of his business anyway.
"It's getting late, I need to go to the airport," Cen Yu said as he walked towards the villa.
Yu Jinheng subconsciously wanted to reach out, but by the time he raised his hand, Cen Yu had already gone far away, and all that remained in his palm was the wind that he could not grasp.
...
Yu Jinheng escorted Cen Yu all the way to the apartment building.
When Cen Yu returned home with his luggage, he didn't find Yu Xinyu. He guessed that she was probably still abroad and hadn't returned yet...
By this time, the system had already sent all the home surveillance footage to Cen Yu.
After watching the surveillance video from that period, Cen Yu was astonished. He discovered that Yu Xinyu had placed more surveillance cameras in the house than he had thought.
But it's actually a good thing, it helped him out.
With that thought in mind, he turned on his computer and started editing furiously.
...
On Monday morning, Yu Xinyu still hadn't returned, and she didn't reply to Cen Yu's messages.
Whether it was "fleeing to escape punishment" or some other purpose, it did help him a lot. After all, in the original storyline, Yu Xinyu should have had a conflict with him during this period and was determined to leave the scumbag, so she moved out of this apartment.
