Chapter 49 What are you hiding from?
They worked all afternoon and it was getting dark. Aunt Liu prepared dinner at home and called them to come home for dinner.
The car stopped at the gate of the community, and the two walked home one after the other. Jin Siyang lagged behind her half a step and walked slowly.
Cen Nian was humming all the way and walking much more briskly than usual.
"Are you so happy?"
Cen Nian looked back at him and admitted, "Of course! The store manager refunded us three thousand!"
Jin Siyang's gaze shifted from her face to the front: "I thought you were happy about taking pictures."
"I'm happy to have so many beautiful photos." And they were taken by him. Cen Nian tilted his head and said with a smile.
Jin Siyang pretended to be aloof and ignored her. Cen Nian said to herself, "I'm really happy!"
"Jin Siyang, did you hear me say I was very happy?" Cen Nian raised her voice and spoke beside him, repeating that she was very happy.
Jin Siyang finally nodded.
Cen Nian curled her lips and muttered quietly when he wasn't paying attention: "So arrogant..."
The winter in Jiang City was bitterly cold. When the north wind blew, people's brains were frozen. Cen Nian hunched her shoulders, thinking about going back quickly. But when her eyes rolled, she saw the garden path in the community, with warm yellow street lights on the side of the road, and he was next to her. It might be difficult to have such a moment again.
Thinking of this, the pace of jogging just now couldn't help but slow down.
Cen Nian looked back at him from time to time. Jin Siyang still looked cold and indifferent, as if he was competing with winter to see who was colder.
Looking back again, Cen Nian walked around the corner and looked straight ahead. Suddenly, she saw a familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar figure. She blinked and confirmed who the figure in front of her was. She exclaimed and jumped directly over the grass and hid behind the extremely rounded green plant in the bush.
Jin Siyang watched the man in front of him hide in the bushes like a mouse, and was speechless: "..."
That would have been fine, but she still stuck her head out like a thief and whispered, "Jin Siyang, you go first."
Jin Siyang frowned slightly: "Cen Nian, what's wrong with you again?"
Cen Nian didn't reply to him and hid himself well.
Jin Siyang looked ahead helplessly. He saw a figure running towards him and was suddenly stunned.
"Si Yang, I sent you a message, why didn't you reply?" Cheng Yiwen ran towards him. She was wearing thick clothes today, so she ran a little slower.
Jin Siyang gestured to his phone screen: "It's out of battery."
"Is that so? Qin Zhouyan said he would raid your house tonight and asked us to come over and have dinner with you."
No wonder Aunt Liu called and said she must go home for dinner. It turned out to be Qin Zhouyan, the idiot.
Cheng Yiwen knew he was a man of few words, and she was always the talkative one in front of him: "I had just walked in and turned around to see a familiar figure. I didn't expect it was really you."
She turned her gaze slightly towards the person in the bushes: "Is that girl the one they were talking about who's staying at your house?"
There were rumors from outside, and they never avoided talking to Cheng Yiwen. She had heard about it vaguely, but never asked much. When Jin Siyang wanted to say something, he would naturally tell her.
Jin Siyang nodded: "Yeah."
Thinking of someone hiding in the bushes like a thief, thinking he was hiding well but still being discovered, he actually felt helpless and wanted to laugh.
Jin Siyang suppressed the smile in his eyes, took two steps into the bushes, glanced at her meaningfully, and in the face of Cen Nian's puzzled and stunned eyes, he picked her up.
He gently lifted the person up, like grabbing a kitten by the scruff of the neck, and asked, "What are you hiding from?"
He brought people out, and the three of them looked at each other. Cheng Yiwen was stunned for two or three seconds before she came to her senses: "So it's you, I was wondering why you looked familiar."
Cen Nian felt embarrassed. She stroked her hair and greeted politely, "Hello, my name is Cen Nian. What a coincidence."
"Hello, my name is Cheng Yiwen, I'm Si Yang's friend, and we grew up together."
Cen Nian nodded: "I know."
I think everyone in the Affiliated High School knows Jin Siyang and Cheng Yiwen.
Cheng Yiwen's smile was a little stiff. She looked at Jin Siyang and said, "Then let's go back together."
"Um."
Jin Siyang fell a few steps behind, standing side by side with Cen Nian. He gritted his teeth and lowered his voice: "What were you hiding from just now?"
Cen Nian stared, her eyes seeming to say, "Want to blame me again?" She stammered, "Didn't you tell others not to tell others about my boarding at your house?"
"......" Jin Siyang experienced for the first time what it felt like to shoot himself in the foot. He pursed his lips and looked very unhappy.
It was too dark, and Cen Nian couldn't see his expression clearly. She added, "Besides, I don't want others to misunderstand. It would look a little strange for us to walk home together so late at night."
"What misunderstanding?" Jin Siyang's tone became more serious: "Why don't you speak?"
How could Cen Nian dare to speak! Jin Siyang looked as if he was angry. She shrank her head and dared not say a word.
Jin Siyang was such a smart guy, he gritted his teeth and said, "You dodged me last night, and I didn't have time to settle the score with you."
"Settle accounts? What accounts?"
"Who told you that Cheng Yiwen and I were childhood sweethearts?"
"...I guess."
Jin Siyang's eyes darkened. "Growing up together is called childhood sweethearts, so does that include Qin Zhou, Yan Tengfang, and Chu Chen?"
Cen Nian thought about his words carefully, nodded and shook his head. Jin Siyang seemed to be furious. This anger was really strange.
"What are you talking about! You've ignored me for a long time!" Cheng Yiwen pretended to be aggrieved. Cen Nian quickly left Jin Siyang and walked side by side with her.
Cen Nian knew best the feeling of being ignored and wronged. She could empathize with Cheng Yiwen, so she walked towards her.
But she wasn't a very outgoing person, and she had only met Cheng Yiwen a few times, so she wasn't very familiar with her. She didn't know what to talk about, so she just said, "Cheng Yiwen, you're such a great student! You're number one in the liberal arts!"
"It's not that bad, the guy behind you is the top scorer in science!"
She is a loser who is not very good at studying, sandwiched between the top students in liberal arts and science. Oh my God, you treat her like this, Cen Nian, right?
After returning to the Jin family, Cheng Yiwen and Jin Siyang took a step back tacitly. They were two steps away from the door. Cen Nian then stepped forward and looked at them puzzledly.
Jin Siyang whispered, "Cen Nian, come over to me."
Cen Nian suddenly looked at him strangely. Cheng Yiwen was standing next to him. The two looked like a perfect match. When you are secretly in love with someone, you think a lot, especially at times like this. She is also a little petty. Why does she have to stand with them? It looks very strange.
Jin Siyang is really something. There was a girl standing next to him but he asked her to move over. He was a grown man and was stuck in the middle with two girls standing next to him. How could that be!
Cen Nian turned back proudly and ignored him.
The next second, with a "bang", a big firework suddenly sounded, and countless colorful ribbons gushed out.
Cen Nian's hair was blown away in an instant, and her head was covered with colorful paper.
“Surprise!!!”
