"I'm going back now that the show is over," Meng Jiuyi said.
She holds grudges, like someone carrying a heavy tortoise shell, only peeking out a little when someone fully shows goodwill. And once hurt, she immediately retreats, wishing she could sever all ties with the other person forever.
A cute robot delivers the meal to the second-floor terrace, and after placing the food, it smiles and says, "Enjoy your meal."
Tan Yuchen said calmly, "Eat something first."
"...I'm not hungry yet."
I'm hungry.
He sat down on the futon opposite him, slowly picked up his chopsticks, and said, "Some people only care about watching the show, without thinking about how much brainpower it takes to gather all of these."
What a waste of time.
With such a wide range of sources of information, he must have already firmly grasped these incriminating facts about Feng Lan, it's just a matter of when to use them.
However, Meng Jiuyi did not argue with him, and silently sat on the high stool opposite him.
The second-floor terrace has been specially renovated, with UFO lights that glow like fireflies, outlining his silhouette in the pine-green light and shadow, softening his usual aloofness.
In this undisturbed tranquility, the phone suddenly vibrated. It took Meng Jiuyi two seconds to realize it was hers before she answered it.
"Miss Meng?"
Meng Jiuyi didn't realize who it was, but the voice sounded strangely familiar.
"It's me, Xie Youze."
Xie Youze was in great distress. "I'm sorry for saying such rude things to you last time. Tan San warned me not to go looking for you. I was just bewitched after running into you again."
And could you please tell him to stop messing with me? If he does, I'll fight him to the death, even if I'm down to my underwear.
Meng Jiuyi was completely bewildered. Looking at the man enjoying the food in front of her, her eyelids drooped, and she appeared relaxed.
It's so quiet here, he must have heard it, so why is he still unmoved?
Meng Jiuyi slid his stool around and listened to Xie Youze apologize and complain that his fiancée had found out about his affair, and that she was a fierce woman who wanted to take revenge on him with a cannon.
He's now on the run all over the city, making a living abroad.
"If I can return to China safely someday, I will definitely apologize to you in person, please forgive me."
After hanging up the phone, Meng Jiuyi was both amused and slightly stunned.
According to Xie Youze's phone call, he came to see her on his own initiative, and also to shift the blame to Tan Yuchen.
But who knows if these people are colluding to put on a show?
That bastard can do anything.
Suddenly, two casual tapping sounds came from behind me.
"Shouldn't President Meng say something to me?"
Who is President Meng? She couldn't recall being any president.
Meng Jiuyi turned a deaf ear.
Suddenly, the high stool was pulled by a force from behind, and she was caught off guard and turned around. Tan Yuchen bent down and stood up, supporting himself on both sides of her stool, looking down at her.
"You misunderstood someone and have nothing to say? If you're shy, you can tell me quietly."
Behind her was the bar, and in front of her was his chest; the man's burning breath enveloped her completely.
Meng Jiuyi turned her face away, "No!"
“I have it.”
Tan Yuchen's eyelids drooped, and the words rolled around on his tongue several times, but he couldn't say them.
After all, the young master had never bowed his head to anyone since he was a child.
His Adam's apple bobbed down. "I take back everything I said that night, and let bygones be bygones."
No!
Meng Jiuyi lowered her head, not wanting to listen to him or pay him any attention; she had already used up all her trust in him.
But the man's back was hunched and his neck was drooping, so his face was level with hers, and his slightly raised eyebrows carried a hint of indulgence.
"I was a jerk when I talked to Jing last time. I won't do it again. From now on, no matter what I do, I'll tell you everything in detail first, okay?"
Just as Meng Jiuyi was about to shake his head, he heard him say in a drawn-out tone, "When President Meng added the ingredients to my drink, he didn't even blink. If you're still not satisfied, how about I drink two more glasses as punishment?"
"I offered no resistance whatsoever."
"He's just joking," Meng Jiuyi raised his face and questioned.
"You're gambling with my life, but what have I done with yours?"
"Then I'll take the bullet for him." That was his glorious achievement.
"That was your own choice!"
"I also gave someone a satisfying show to watch."
She shouted loudly, "That was your own choice, I didn't beg you!"
She refuses to reconcile no matter what. She desperately wants to sever all ties with him.
Her nose and the area around her eyes were flushed from anger.
She probably doesn't realize it herself; she looks incredibly delicate.
"Yes, I'd love to."
Tan Yuchen's eyes darkened, and his Adam's apple bobbed.
"Since President Meng refuses to forgive me no matter what, I have no choice but to pay with my life. Or do you want to stab me now? You can do whatever you want with my frail body."
Meng Jiuyi didn't want to waste time arguing with him. She pushed him away and was about to get up when she noticed his body temperature was so high. Even her palm felt burning hot when she touched it on the autumn night.
But she abruptly pulled her hand back not because of that, because her hand was covered in blood—he was wearing a black t-shirt so it wasn't visible at all, but his wound had reopened due to prolonged muscle strain.
Tan Yuchen looked down at her. "The doctor said that since the injury is to the chest, I'll need to be hospitalized for at least half a year."
Why are you pretending to be pitiful? It's none of her business; she didn't send him.
Meng Jiuyi turned her face away.
A cynical voice fell from above.
"If you don't say anything, I'll kiss you."
He was just arguing again. Meng Jiuyi was determined not to talk to him and not give him any chance to push his luck.
However, a shadow suddenly fell in front of him, and the man's well-defined face quickly magnified in his eyes until his lips felt a dry, slightly crushing sensation.
She was so frightened that she pushed him away.
"Tan Yuchen, you..."
Its brown pupils were wide open, like the eyes of a startled deer.
The soft touch he had just felt was like a spark that traveled through Tan Yuchen's entire body. His restrained nerves instantly shattered. A mere taste was not enough, so he lowered his head and kissed her forcefully.
