There were people coming and going in the restaurant, but not many people in the corridor, with only one or two passing by occasionally.
Outside the men's restroom, Zhou Yunwan stared in the direction of the men's restroom without blinking, fearing that she would accidentally miss Chen Yanli coming out.
Little did she know that in the eyes of passers-by, she looked like a female pervert with bad intentions.
No matter how pretty she was, the men coming out of the toilet would deliberately avoid her.
Passersby came and went in waves. Zhou Yunwan had no idea how many times her hopes had been dashed. She lowered her head in frustration and kicked the stones under her feet.
After enjoying the breeze for a while, the heat in my body caused by the alcohol dissipated a lot, but my cheeks were still hot and my head was dizzy.
She took several deep breaths and muttered, "Why hasn't he come out yet?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the tiny stone rolled a few times on the ground and landed next to a pair of black men's leather shoes.
Zhou Yunwan raised her gaze, and when she saw the face of the owner of the shoes clearly, a hint of joy flashed across her eyes.
...
...
But Shen Yanli's expression did not fluctuate much. After glancing at her, he looked away.
"Let's talk."
When he passed by her, Zhou Yunwan subconsciously reached out to hold his hand, trying to stop him, but unexpectedly he pulled his hand away without letting her touch it.
Zhou Yunwan's hand stopped in mid-air and she stood there in a daze for a moment. First, she didn't expect that he would refuse her touch, and second, she didn't expect that he would turn around and leave without even looking at her.
Looking at his resolute back, Zhou Yunwan reacted, trotted after him, grabbed the corner of his clothes and whispered: "Chen Yanli, stop! You don't even want to talk to me now, right?"
Shen Yanli had to stop and turned his head to look at her, and when his eyes met her red eyes, his jawline instantly tensed, his fingertips clenched, and he forced himself to suppress the urge to wipe her tears.
He was afraid that if he touched her, she would just shake his hand off like she did yesterday.
After a long while, Shen Yanli spoke in a cold voice: “Didn’t I say yesterday that I needed to calm down for a while?”
Zhou Yunwan grabbed the corner of his clothes tightly, bit her lower lip and said, "Being calm is not cold violence. Do you have to avoid me all the time? You didn't come back for dinner in the morning, and now you are deliberately ignoring me..."
Thinking about how he had ignored her since they met, and even when others mentioned her in front of him, he had no reaction, as if she didn't exist, no one would be able to tolerate such treatment.
The more Zhou Yunwan thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt. Her eyes were sparkling with tears, which made people feel pity for her unconsciously.
Shen Yanli pursed his lips tightly and remained silent.
Seeing that his expression had relaxed, Zhou Yunwan looked at him with seductive eyes, her voice soft and tender, as sweet and coquettish as before: "Dear, are you really not going to pay attention to me?"
Hearing this long-lost dear, Shen Yanli's dark eyes turned, his back stiffened for a moment, and he couldn't help but feel a little self-mockery in his heart. He was really useless. Her words of coquetry made him lose his mind and willing to surrender to her.
He pulled his lips and said in a deep voice: "What do you want to talk about?"
Zhou Yunwan glanced around. It was true that there were few people here, but there were still people passing by at any time. If they were arguing here, it would be easy for people to misunderstand them, and it would not be convenient for them to talk.
She sniffed and murmured, "Let's go somewhere else."
As she spoke, she tentatively pulled his fingers. Seeing that he did not resist, she became bolder and went from holding two or three fingers to holding them tightly.
The space on the third floor is limited. Thanks to the walk she had just taken with Xing Zhaoling, she knew there was a remote place, a blind spot that was not easily discovered.
Not long after walking, she brought people to a corner of the observation deck. There were two potted trees that were nearly as tall as an adult man blocking the view. Compared with other places, it was relatively hidden.
As soon as they arrived at the place, Shen Yanli seemed to be anxious to distance himself from her, and he unceremoniously pulled his hand back and distanced himself from her.
He used a little strength, and Zhou Yunwan felt lost. She looked down at her empty hands, then looked at Shen Yanli who was several steps away from her, and felt empty in her heart.
It was as if something was slowly slipping away from her hands.
And his words also confirmed this conjecture.
Before she could speak, Shen Yanli broke the silence first: "What are you talking about? You want to break up with me?"
His dark eyes were deep, his gaze was sharp, and his voice was even colder than before.
Zhou Yunwan once thought that she had misheard, but his cold expression forced her to believe that he had indeed said the word "break up". Her delicate eyebrows were immediately filled with disbelief, and her cheeks turned sullen because of shock.
"I didn't want to break up with you." Zhou Yunwan choked up and continued, "Yesterday and today, I thought about a lot of messy things, but the only thing I didn't think about was breaking up with you."
After hearing her words, the corners of Chen Yanli's eyes turned red. What she said yesterday was still vivid in his mind. She actually said that she didn't want to break up with him?
The pent-up anger in his heart could not help but rise, and Shen Yanli sneered: "Didn't you say you didn't want to marry me? Since there is no future between us, why don't we separate earlier? This will be good for both you and me."
“…”
Listening to his sarcastic words, Zhou Yunwan's heart trembled suddenly. She wanted to refute, but opened her mouth and couldn't say a word. In fact, he was right. Separation was the best decision for them.
Reason also told her to cut her losses in time and not delay him any longer.
But it was so difficult for her to say that she agreed to break up.
For a moment, neither of them spoke again, and silence filled the air, with only the sound of voices coming from afar.
Shen Yanli stared at her face closely. At this moment, he hoped that she would say something to keep him.
It would be enough if she just said that what she said yesterday was just anger and she didn't mean it, or if she just gave in to him like she did just now, but she didn't do that. Her expression told him that she really didn't want to marry him.
Shen Yanli closed his eyes, and her pretty and bright face flashed through his mind countless times. The countless moments they had been together told him that she clearly liked him, but now, he was not sure.
Thinking of this, he frowned and asked in a hurried voice: "Wanwan, have you ever liked me?"
His eyelids were slightly lowered, and his expression was unclear, as if he was asking her, or as if he was asking himself.
"If I don't like you, would I kiss and hug you?" Zhou Yunwan bit her lip angrily and said in a desperate voice: "Would I still want to sleep with you?"
Shen Yanli was so angry at her words that he gritted his teeth and said, "You want to sleep with me, but you don't want to marry me? Zhou Yunwan, what are you thinking?"
Zhou Yunwan couldn't help but retort: "Do we have to get married if we have sex?"
