Chapter 97
"Shen Yan, do you think the people in the private room today don't know you're trying to create hype?"
“I don’t mind waiting until your variety show ends.” Si’s cousin looked at him.
People from families like Shen Yan's are already all over the internet with their variety show clips; it's impossible that he didn't secretly push things along behind the scenes.
In addition, Shen Yan's establishment of a studio had already caused quite a stir in the industry.
It wasn't just Si's cousin; everyone present had thought of this, so nobody cared about the relationship between Shen Yan and that variety show girl.
Si Ming had thought of this, which is why he called her over.
Shen Yan smiled coldly: "I don't know what kind of sister you are to Si Ming."
"However, you'd better not act all high and mighty here."
"Yes, I, Shen Yan, am just trying to generate buzz."
"What can you do about it?!"
"Using Yu Yingning to boost my own fame."
"But now, I don't even want to get any attention from her anymore!!"
Shen Yan was like a firecracker that had been lit; after venting his anger on his cousin from the Si family, he turned around and prepared to leave.
But at the edge of the street outside the bar, a light was dim.
Standing there was someone he had been longing for day and night.
She looked up at him, the coldness in her phoenix eyes almost instantly piercing through Shen Yan's already fragile shell.
His heart skipped a beat.
An overwhelming sense of panic was gradually eroding him.
“Yu...Ying…”
Shen Yan even panicked. How could he possibly see her at this time?
He paused for a moment, then caught sight of a cold, retreating figure once more.
[Is it really her?!]
Shen Yan didn't care how dejected he looked at that moment, and immediately ran after him.
"Yu Yingning!"
"Yingning".
"Yu Yingning, stop!!"
His staggering running posture was almost comical.
But Shen Yan, who always paid attention to his appearance, couldn't care less about anything at this moment.
Instead, she let herself be carried along by the broken lights along the way, heading towards his heart.
The distance wasn't long, but it made him drag his tired body for several minutes.
He caught up with her.
“Yu... Yingning…” Shen Yan began, his voice trembling.
"you..."
What are you doing here?
Before he could finish speaking, he heard her suddenly say something.
"Sorry, I don't know him."
The strong, pungent taste of the brandy only caused him to churn painfully in his stomach.
Her words felt like a hand was squeezing his heart.
"What...are you saying?"
Yingning turned around, looked at Shen Yan in front of her, and slowly said, "Young Master Shen, didn't you say you weren't going to create hype anymore?"
"If you were so unwilling, why did you chase after me?"
Shen Yan barely managed to swallow the bitterness in his throat, but he was choked by Ying Ning's words and didn't know how to speak for a moment.
Yingning turned to leave, but Shen Yan immediately grabbed her hand.
"Yingning..."
By this time, alcohol had robbed him of much of his reason.
"Chen Yan, let go of your hand."
"I won't let go!!!"
His tone was less defiant than it had been a few days ago; alcohol spurred him to speak: "What I said just now was just said in anger..."
He was angry about her relationship with He Zhiqian...
I'm angry about her and Lu Yuzhou...
Even angrier, about what happened between her and him...
No, it's not that I don't want to be with her...
......
"Shen Yan, how does it feel to step on other people to generate buzz?" Her sudden question made Shen Yan feel uneasy.
"I..."
Shen Yan couldn't say it out loud because he was indeed using the "envy of fish from afar" topic to promote his own fame.
The once shimmering pool bottom has long been shattered by her icy coldness.
Shen Yan just stared at her blankly.
He didn't even think there was anything wrong with doing so.
Just like in the original storyline, he kept using "Yu Yingning" to generate buzz.
He was always so unrestrained and capricious, doing whatever he pleased.
Disregarding anyone's feelings.
*
There was no one in sight on the streets; a dense, deathly silence crept over everything.
"Shen Yan, you're really interesting."
Yingning shook off his hand and tried to leave.
But she was embraced by a figure reeking of alcohol.
"Yu Yingning..."
"Yingning..."
"It's my fault..."
His voice held a somber sadness, like brandy, yet he could only repeatedly whisper his pleas in her ear.
"Yu Yingning, let's not fight, okay?"
The way Shen Yan hugged her from behind was extremely insecure, as if this action couldn't hold her back.
He rested his chin on the crook of her neck, but his usual arrogant tone was gone.
“Ningning…”
"I miss you so much.."
I really want to talk to you...
Shen Yan's hands tightened incessantly, as if he wanted to trap her beside him.
He didn't want to see her and He Zhiqian together.
I don't want to see her team up with Lu Yuzhou.
He and she were clearly the most compatible couple.
Unfortunately, at that moment, one of the streetlights outside the bar flickered and went out.
Shen Yan felt her break free of his hands, followed by a feeling of emptiness and coldness.
"Shen Yan, let it go."
She said that sentence again.
That sentence that led him to this state.
"Fine, I don't want it anymore!"
"Why should I?!"
"Why should I settle things with you?!"
“Yu Yingning, I can pretend I don’t know anything about your affair with He Zhiqian.”
"I don't want to anymore!!!"
"Don't bother..."
......
When he was drunk, he was like a wild beast that had lost its pride, only reluctantly trying to keep her by his side.
Too much alcohol actually brought out his hidden perseverance.
"You've had too much to drink, you should go home early."
As Yingning spoke, she turned to walk away from the outer street entrance.
She shook herself off...
The person standing still, perhaps because of the unbearable discomfort from being drunk, was suppressing the throbbing pain in their stomach and didn't move for a moment.
Shen Yan suppressed the discomfort in his stomach and looked up again.
I saw that Yingning had almost walked to the other side of the road.
"Yu Yingning!!"
He was unwilling to accept it.
How could I possibly be willing to accept that?
He couldn't bear to watch her leave him like this.
Shen Yan strode towards the intersection, but did not notice the red light.
The glaring light made his mind go blank for a moment.
With a creak.
The sound of emergency brakes and the blaring of horns.
"How the hell do you walk?!"
"Are all drunkards out of their minds?!" The surrounding drivers continued to hurl insults.
Shen Yan seemed to have just come to his senses. Ignoring the curses, he chased after the figure again.
