Chapter 74 74 “I can only see you.”
He Jingsui laughed so hard that his chest was shaking, but he couldn't help but admit that it didn't happen.
He curled the corners of his lips and tacitly agreed to this matter.
His smiling eyes turned uncontrollably towards Chen Zhan beside him. The latter kept his eyes slightly lowered without saying a word and did not participate in their conversation.
The thin light fell on her slender shoulders. She remained silent, but a hint of crimson crept up her ears.
This shows that she was not uninvolved, at least she was a serious observer.
He Jing curled his lips lazily, and the satisfaction in his eyes grew deeper and deeper.
He was so secretly happy that he felt a little dizzy.
Just at this moment, a waiter brought the food ordered by He Shiyi and Jiang Qiannan, and placed it on the table one plate after another. The aroma filled the air, making He Shiyi feel hungry instantly.
The conversation ended when He Shiyi asked them to pick up their chopsticks. He Shiyi picked up the chopsticks on the table, followed by Jiang Qiannan, and even He Jingsui picked up his chopsticks.
Chen Zhan wanted to follow, but the crisp ringing of her cell phone interrupted her from picking up her chopsticks. Pulling her phone out of her bag, Chen Zhan saw the name of the incoming caller on it—"Jiang Yu."
She pursed her lips and hung up the phone calmly.
She put the phone on the table, and within two seconds, Jiang Yu sent her a message, which kept ringing.
【Jiang Yu: Zhanzhan, I'm sorry.】
[Jiang Yu: Zhanzhan, can we have a good chat?]
[Jiang Yu: Zhanzhan, answer the phone...]
[Jiang Yu: Zhanzhan, it was wrong of me to make you angry...]
The continuously lit screen of the phone attracted He Jingsui's attention. He glanced over casually and saw Jiang Yu's messages popping up one by one.
His eyes paused, and he immediately understood the depressed look she had just seen at her doorstep.
Immediately afterwards, Jiang Yu's phone popped up again.
It's really annoying.
Quicker than Chen Zan, he reached out and grabbed her phone, pressed the answer button, and put it to his ear.
"Zhanzhan——" Almost at the moment when the phone was close to his ear, Jiang Yu's gentle and anxious voice came from the other end of the phone.
"It's me." He Jing then spoke.
There was no emotion in his voice, but it shattered all of Jiang Yu's expectations for this call.
"He Jingsui?" Jiang Yu on the phone was a little surprised. "How did Chen Zan's phone end up in your hands?"
He chuckled, but the smile did not reach his eyes. The corners of his lips curled up in a contemptuous arc, as arrogant as he could be. "Guess."
The three words were so suggestive that the other party subconsciously fell silent.
Such a nonchalant tone made Chen Zan's heart beat fast. She raised her hand to grab the phone, but He Jingsui grabbed her hand forcefully and domineeringly, pressing it on his leg, preventing her from moving forward or retreating.
Then, Chen Zhan heard him say slowly, "Did you bully our Zhan Zhan?"
"Your Zhanzhan?" Jiang Yu on the phone thought what he said was ridiculous, "When did Zhanzhan become yours?"
"Why," He Jingsui twitched his lips, full of sarcasm, "If it's not mine, does that mean it's still yours?"
He didn't notice the difference between the two letters.
But when it fell into the ears of the three people present, it had a different meaning.
Chen Zan's hand was still held and pressed by him, and when he heard his words, his cheeks burned uncontrollably, and the sound of his heartbeat was rampant in his ears.
She raised her eyes to look at him. There was no emotion on the man's face. The words seemed to be said casually, as natural as if they had been together for the past few years.
Perhaps you can detect a subtle emotion in him from the slight curve of his lips.
Chen Zhan was a little dazed, it felt like she was back in the old days, when they were passionately in love. He Jingsui was always like this, never letting her suffer any injustice.
A sour feeling slowly crept up the tip of her nose, her eyelashes trembled, and her gaze fell on the hand holding hers.
She didn't struggle anymore and let him lead her.
"your?"
"Are you qualified to say these two words now? You and her broke up five years ago!"
"So what?" He Jingsui put on his infuriating arrogance again, shamelessly saying, "We just broke up, not that we no longer love each other."
"You..." Jiang Yu was very angry with him.
"Don't be angry, we're just getting started," He Jingsui chuckled nonchalantly, "When I catch up with you again, you're welcome to attend our wedding."
Without giving him any chance to speak, He Jingsui hung up the phone with a sneer, then returned the phone to Chen Zan with a calm face.
After being apart for so many years, Chen Zhan found that he was becoming more and more talkative. She broke free from his hand, which he was still reluctant to let go of, and put the phone back into her bag in a panic.
He Jingsui's eyes swept over her, and knowing her personality, he just curled the corners of his lips slightly.
In the blink of an eye, he met the gazes of the other two people present, their gazes fierce and full of hidden meaning. He Jingsui was not a man with a guilty conscience. Every word he had just said was true. He and Chen Zan had always been like this. They had just broken up, not fallen out of love. Besides, he really wanted to win her back, to be with her again, and never be apart for the rest of their lives.
He Jingsui accepted their scrutiny calmly. The silent gaze swept across Jiang Qiannan's face, and he saw him open his mouth silently.
"Lick, dog."
He raised an eyebrow at her, as if to say, "Why, you want to be one too?"
The four of them had their own thoughts during the meal.
After the meeting, He Jing sent Chen Zan home. The two of them were silent in the car until the car stopped at Chen Zan's doorstep.
Ever since the phone call with Jiang Yu ended, Chen Zan has been in a very confused mood. He Jingsui's words were like a bolt of lightning that struck her from the sky, shaking her to the core.
She couldn't even think.
As soon as the car stopped, Chen Zan immediately unbuckled his seat belt without even looking at He Jingsui. He hurriedly tried to open the car door.
"I'm here...thank you for taking me home..."
But the car door was locked.
The man's voice followed, "Chen Zhan."
It was still the same normal voice and tone, but Chen Zan's heart trembled when he heard it.
With his fingers still on the door handle, Chen Zhan turned his head to look at him. The man was leaning against the back of the car seat, his face was sharp, and his dark eyes showed a serious look.
His scorching gaze was like a warm fire, warming her heartbeat.
She felt like she was about to melt in his sight.
"I've already avenged you, don't be unhappy."
Chen Zan knew that he was talking about Jiang Yu, and he didn't even ask her what kind of injustice she had suffered from Jiang Yu.
"Um……"
The mumbling sound made him chuckle. The man put his hand on the steering wheel and listened to the "tick-tick" sound of the stopwatch in the car.
He suddenly spoke and said to her, "But what I said is true."
It's just a breakup, not that we no longer love each other. That's the truth.
It's also true that I'm pursuing her again.
He looked at her seriously and told her seriously, "Chen Zhan, I want to pursue you."
Her heart was as tangled as a ball of wool, and Chen Zhan didn't know what to say. She lowered her eyes slightly, her expression hesitant.
But he couldn't resist He Jingsui's words, "Chen Zan, don't you want to be with me again?"
"I..." Chen Zhan didn't know what kind of answer to give him. His fingers subconsciously clenched the corner of his clothes. "He Jingsui, we are not suitable to talk about this now."
"Then what would be suitable?" he asked, "Would it be suitable if I could catch up with you?"
The relationship between them seemed to have been tied up on that rainy day five years ago. She could not forget what He Jinzhou said to her, nor could she forgive herself for letting He Jingsui miss that opportunity. Although he later caught up with others through his own efforts, she knew that it was very hard for him to do so. She didn't want him to suffer so much, and she couldn't bear to see him suffer so much.
She would never be able to forgive herself. Perhaps just as He Jinzhou said, she was a stumbling block in He Jingsui's life.
But she couldn't forgive herself now, even though he didn't have to look at her anymore.
But he still only looked at her.
With a dull pain in his heart, Chen Zhan suddenly asked him, "He Jingsui, we've been apart for so long, haven't you fallen in love with anyone else?"
"No." He Jingsui told her, "I only like you."
"Even if you insisted on leaving me five years ago, I would still love only you."
Her heart ached dully, as if a sharp knife was opening the old scar again. She couldn't accept He Jingsui's behavior.
Just look at yourself.
Emotions surged, and her voice trembled, as if she was about to burst into tears. "He Jingsui, why are you doing this..."
“There are so many people who are better than me…”
"Because I can't see them." He Jingsui interrupted her and chuckled. His helpless tone seemed to tell her that he had no way out.
"Chen Zhan, I can't see them."
"I can only see you."
