Chapter 166 The CP of This World
Jian Yan kept her head down, and only spoke after he finished speaking: "What does this have to do with me?"
Aren't you good friends?
“We’ve been friends ever since she used me to escape Qing City. Whether she lives or dies is none of my business.” Jian Yan looked up at him: “You don’t need to waste your time on me.”
Seeing her serious expression, Chen Chu knew that there was no point in saying anything more, so he could only say, "Okay, then I'll take you back."
Jian Yan originally wanted to refuse, but Chen Chu insisted, so the two walked side by side out of the coffee shop and headed towards the girls' dormitory of the film academy.
It was getting dark, the streetlights weren't on yet, and the afterglow of the setting sun made the western sky glow faintly.
Groups of students, dressed in youthful and vibrant clothes, chatted and laughed as they passed by the two silent individuals.
Chen Chu found Jian Yan's silence and aloofness to be out of place in this vibrant campus.
Passing by the basketball court, I saw boys playing inside, surrounded mostly by girls cheering them on...
Chen Chu thought that Jian Yan should have been enjoying the most precious campus life just like those girls.
He turned to look at her. She was walking very fast, her eyes fixed on the road beneath her feet, seemingly oblivious to the scenery around her.
It was too dark to see her expression clearly, but it was obvious that it was one of utter despair and hopelessness.
With a slight sigh, Chen Chu sensed a gust of wind approaching. He grabbed Jian Yan's arm and caught the basketball flying through the air with one hand.
The loud bang startled Jian Yan. At that moment, the streetlights turned on one after another, and she saw the gentle orange light fall on the man's handsome and composed face. She clearly saw the fleeting tension in his eyes.
He easily tossed the ball back onto the playground, and Chen Chu released her arm at the opportune moment.
It's too thin.
Chen Chu couldn't help but say, "Eat more food. Being too thin makes you more susceptible to illness."
For some inexplicable reason, Jian Yan nodded: "Okay."
It turns out that accepting someone's kindness is not a difficult thing.
...
Chen Chu escorted Jian Yan to her dormitory building and watched her enter before turning to leave.
On the way, he sent a message to Lin Feiyan. Upon receiving the message, Lin Feiyan immediately instructed Chen Tang: "Lock up all phone calls to Nanshi from the area of the girls' dormitory of Qingshi Film Academy starting now."
At that moment, Jian Yan did indeed go to find Xiaomiao and discovered that she had just hung up a phone call: "Miaomiao, Qingning..."
"I just called my mom, and she's doing just fine at my place," Miao Miao said with a smile. "Don't worry, I told her I'd treat her like my own daughter!"
Jian Yan breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you... I'd like to say a few words to her next time I call."
"Sure, let's start now..."
Miao Miao was about to dial a number when Jian Yan stopped her: "No need, let's do it later."
"Okay." Miao Miao invited her, "Let's go see a movie together later, do you want to come?"
"No, I need to wash some clothes when I get back to my dorm..."
"Okay, go ahead and get busy, bye."
After leaving Miaomiao's dormitory, Jianyan went straight back to her own dormitory.
She knew her phone was definitely being monitored by Lin Feiyan's men, so she couldn't contact Ye Qingning.
One can only pray that Lin Feiyan can't find anyone in such a big city.
Although this wish is somewhat unrealistic.
In addition, her own plans are about to be implemented.
If Lin Feiyan really brings Ye Qingning back, she has to do something to at least dispel Ye Qingning's concerns about getting along with Lin Feiyan.
She could tell that Ye Qingning still had some feelings for Lin Feiyan.
...
As night deepened, Chen Chu was still handling official business in his office. Recently, he had been dealing with the Lin Group's aggressive moves, and with Lin Feiyan not around, he was bearing a lot of pressure alone, which was exhausting.
After signing the last document, Chen Chu got up to make coffee, then stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, holding the cup and gazing blankly at the bustling city outside.
Suddenly, Jian Yan's fair and delicate face, along with her cold and lonely demeanor that seemed completely out of place with her appearance, appeared in my mind.
With her looks and age, she could be living a vibrant and enviable life.
Why did she have that look of utter despair?
What exactly did she go through?
At this moment, Chen Chu suddenly developed a strong interest in her.
But so what? He doesn't have time to get to know someone from the beginning, let alone fall in love.
Besides, it's obvious she has no interest in him.
Yeah, what charm does a workaholic without emotions have to attract girls' attention?
Moreover, she is so outstanding.
With a smile and a lowered gaze, Chen Chu finished the last sip of his coffee, picked up his car keys, and left the office.
But as he drove along the road, looking at the buildings scattered in the distance and the scattered lights of the residential areas along the roadside, he suddenly felt a little lonely.
He didn't want to go home because the house was empty, and there was no one to light the stove and make him a simple bowl of scallion oil noodles when he came home late.
This is probably why Fei Ye gradually accepted and recognized Miss Ye.
Because of her appearance, the Lin residence gained warmth for Fei Ye, and the world gained meaning for him.
The car drove aimlessly forward until Chen Chu realized he needed to check the road signs and discovered that the car had already arrived at the entrance of the film academy.
With a lowered gaze and a smile, Chen Chu was about to turn and leave when suddenly, a pang of sadness gripped his heart, spreading from his heart to every part of his body.
