Chapter 422: Fate Plays a Fiddle with People
Lin Yilan poured Gao Xianyang a glass of juice, then drank it herself first as a gesture of respect. Huo Juncheng was annoying, but the Huo family couldn't afford to lose him at this time. What Lin Yilan didn't know was... Gao Xianyang wasn't angry at all.
I have had several interactions with Huo Juncheng, most of which were because of Lin Yilan.
As a man, he could understand Huo Juncheng's approach, but it was indeed a bit extreme. Gao Xianyang raised his eyebrows and smiled gently, his eyes as tender as spring water, making people fall into the gentle trap he set.
"I'm a little disappointed." He said, "I thought you asked me to come here to make up for your seven-day relationship with me, but I didn't expect it was for Huo Juncheng."
this……
Lin Yilan blinked awkwardly twice, her long eyelashes hiding all her emotions. She took another sip of the juice in her hand. She had heard Chu Siran say that Gao Xianyang might have a crush on her, but she hadn't thought about it that way... Now his words... weren't they clear? He was secretly in love with her!
Now she has to give him an explanation.
This damn charm!
Lin Yilan sighed, her mind racing, and she easily resolved the awkwardness: "I'm repaying a favor. My milk tea shop was smashed. Huo Juncheng spent hundreds of thousands to help me renovate the store. If he's in jail now, what if I don't have enough money to pay later?" She chuckled at him twice, then patted his shoulder in a somewhat manly way: "Don't worry, I owe you a favor this time. If you need anything in the future, I will definitely help you unconditionally."
After Lin Yilan finished speaking, she wanted to quickly end this awkward meeting with Gao Xianyang. She played with her phone and took the opportunity to send a message to Chu Siran: "Chu Siran, if you see my message, call me immediately!"
Chu Siran was watching a TV series when this message popped up. Without thinking, she called the number: "Lin Yilan, why are you so anxious for me to call you? What's that Jenny up to again?"
"Ah? Something? Okay, okay, I'll be there right away!" Lin Yilan answered incoherently and hung up Chu Siran's phone.
She stood up and wanted to take this opportunity to leave... Suddenly, her arm was grabbed by a pair of hands.
Lin Yilan lowered her eyes and moved her gaze along the arm to the man's face. Gao Xianyang's face had a very youthful look, and his handsome features were not inferior to Huo Juncheng's when she looked at him seriously.
Her pupils froze for a moment before she reacted: "You are..."
Gao Xianyang's lips curved slightly, yet his heart was filled with deep emotion. "Lin Yilan, I'll probably be gone soon. I know you and Huo Juncheng have a very good relationship, and it can't be separated by someone else's actions..." He took a deep breath and continued, "I think you understand what I mean. Can you agree to one request of mine?"
"Where are you going?" Lin Yilan's hearing only stayed on his first sentence! Gao Xianyang is leaving!
"Let's go abroad. My aunt heard from somewhere a while ago that my father had died. She has no children and wants me to study hotel management there," Gao Xianyang said briefly, then corrected the subject: "Can you accompany me for a walk in the park? The park outside our university?"
"walk?"
"Well, I have a lot to say to you. Just think of it as practicing for me."
Lin Yilan's eyes were filled with thought, and after a moment's thought, she finally agreed. Regardless of whether they were just ordinary friends, she should have agreed. A faint smile spread across Lin Yilan's lips: "Okay, I'd like to go see it too."
Since becoming a martial arts instructor, she rarely goes back there.
…
The gloomy trees, layer upon layer, fought a tiny battle with the sunlight, blocking out the rays. Light and shadows were scattered on the ground, just like those mottled moments.
Lin Yilan looked up at everything on the university campus, and an inexplicable emotion surged in her heart.
Gao Xianyang walked in front, about a foot away from Lin Yilan. He told her many stories from his college days: "Haha, I remember when I signed up for the guitar club, I was greeted here. That senior even confessed her love to me."
"What happened next?"
"She went abroad. Her family is well-off. How could she have no future with a poor boy like me? From then on, I completely shut myself off. I swore I would work hard and become excellent so I could pursue what I wanted. Before she left, she told me what time her flight would be, but I didn't go. I'm poor and I can't give her a future. Do I have to let a girl suffer with me just because I say I love you very much? That would be too selfish of me."
After listening to Gao Xianyang's story, Lin Yilan began to understand why he had always worked so hard, not only for his parents but also for himself.
She patted Gao Xianyang's shoulder comfortingly: "It's okay, you will meet someone more suitable for you! It's true that making yourself excellent can help you meet excellent people, but... I think it's more important to meet someone who understands you and sees through you." Two people are excellent, but if they can't see through each other, they won't be happy.
"Well, maybe everyone is chasing something different."
Gao Xianyang suppressed the sparkle in his eyes and turned to ask, "Lin Yilan, do you know why I treat you differently than others?"
Lin Yilan jokingly broke through his deep affection: "Please don't tell me that I look like her."
"Don't mention it, there really is a reason for this. Your eyes look very similar."
"Tsk!" Lin Yilan rolled her eyes. "Gao Xianyang, I don't think you've ever been beaten by socialism! Do you know that what girls care about most is who they resemble? Everyone is an independent entity, and no one has the characteristics of others, okay?"
"Um."
Gao Xianyang suddenly fell silent, and looked into the distance with his eyes closed. His gaze carried too many stories.
This scene made Lin Yilan inexplicably quiet. She was not stupid and could see that he was very sad. It seemed that he was thinking about something in the past... or maybe it was just thinking about the past. She did not say anything, but just followed him quietly.
After a while, Gao Xianyang slowly spoke, "In the second year, I thought I should go find her. Youth is the time to be a little crazy. But, I heard she had a car accident abroad... and died."
"Dead?"
"Hmm...it's fate, isn't it? Since then, I've cherished the people around me. I go see whoever I want to see, and eat whatever I want to eat. In this world, surprises always come before joy. So, Lin Yilan, I like you very much. If you break up with Huo Juncheng in the future, you can consider me. No matter where I am, as long as you need me, just give me a call, and I will appear in front of you immediately, protect you, and shelter you from the wind and rain."
Gao Xianyang leaned over and kissed Lin Yilan on the cheek, then stood up and looked at her.
