Chapter 34
Then he smiled and said, "But it doesn't matter. I like you like this."
"The eagerness I see in your eyes is the most beautiful thing about you."
His fingertips slid along Lin Wan's eyebrows to the corners of her lips. His movements were gentle and ambiguous, like a light feather, which made her feel a little itchy.
Chen Yu leaned his body against hers.
Lin Wan also smiled and reached out to hold Chen Yu's hand that was stroking her face.
She always tries to avoid showing her ambition as much as possible, because ambition is a derogatory word in many situations. Everyone likes people who are gentle, modest and dignified.
So Lin Wan likes to pretend to be like that.
"Chen Yu, tell me about your home."
Lin Wan took the initiative to bring up this matter. Her eyes curved, and there was a soft light in the moonlight, like scattered stars.
"There's about an hour and a half left before the party ends. We still have plenty of time." Lin Wan glanced at the watch on his hand and looked at Chen Yu with a smile.
She had regained her composure and returned to the proud and strategic look she had when they first met.
Lin Wan finally understood why her mood had hit rock bottom after the college entrance examination.
Because the reference point she had long used to measure her own value disappeared, and she fantasized that someone would discover her uniqueness, someone would keep her and let her continue to stay with her family.
Even the most indestructible people yearn for sincere emotions, and Lin Wan feels that perhaps he needs it even more.
But at this moment, she finally decided to give up those things that she was destined not to get from the beginning.
"Would you like to talk to me?" Lin Wan said.
She still decided to take this step, but not out of emotion, but out of reason.
For Lin Wan, it doesn't matter whether it's family or love.
This relationship was of little importance to her long-cherished wish to escape. She was leaving soon and had decided not to return.
Therefore, this relationship was destined to end in failure from the very beginning.
No matter how much Chen Yu acted like he liked her, no matter that he was not an orphan born in a humble family, no matter that Lin Wan also liked Chen Yu sincerely.
She would still choose to leave. This was her decision from the beginning. Even if she had hesitated before, she would never change it.
There will be no result between them.
But Lin Wan can try to give it a relatively good ending.
Chen Yu didn't speak immediately, but looked at her with his dark eyes, hesitant.
His back was straight, yet seemed unusually stiff.
The cold white moonlight behind him made his tall figure look slender and lonely. Chen Yu's fingertips began to tap the table unconsciously.
Lin Wan found it a little funny.
When kissing and hugging, he was always surprisingly proactive, often clinging to Lin Wan, as if he wanted to drown himself beside her.
When Lin Wan brought up his past, wanting to get to know him, Chen Yu was often evasive, seeming reluctant to talk about his past.
In that case, she thought, she shouldn't impose her self-righteous "concern" on others.
So, after a few seconds of silence.
"If you don't want to..."
"I do." Chen Yu replied, his attitude softened, his voice a little hoarse, and with an almost pious attitude, he made a choice that was extremely difficult for him.
When Lin Wan treated him harshly, he was like a storm; when Lin Wan softened her attitude, he became even gentler than her.
This person's personality is really extreme, and I don't know which side is closest to his underlying character.
Chen Yu seemed to have turned into that young man like a green bamboo again, if you ignore his hands tightly wrapped around Lin Wan's waist.
He nestled his head into the crook of Lin Wan's neck. Chen Yu seemed to enjoy doing this. He had been doing it since they first met.
He seemed to be very attached to himself in some ways, but Lin Wan didn't know why.
"You know, Xiwu Pharmaceutical?"
Chen Yu spoke in Lin Wan's ear, and his warm breath hit Lin Wan's ear.
"That's my father's property." He paused for a moment, but did not look at Lin Wan's expression as usual. He just finished the rest of his words in silence.
Western Pharmaceuticals, a well-known pharmaceutical industry covering the whole world, has become a household name. If a pharmacy does not have commonly used drugs from Western Pharmaceuticals, the pharmacy will inevitably be questioned by customers.
If they don’t even have common Western medicines, what kind of pharmacy is this?
This is a big company. Lin Wan was a little surprised, but didn't ask too many questions.
That night, Lin Wan listened to him in silence. She watched as his eyes gradually regained their former brilliance, even more so.
Lin Wan didn't know whether his actions were correct.
But at the time, she felt she had done nothing wrong.
Chen Yu and Lin Wan childishly agreed to take the same flight to report to the university.
He acted like a puppy, flirting with Lin Wan's shoulder like a carefree teenager.
Lin Wan felt an indescribable discomfort in her heart. She looked at Chen Yu, raised the corners of her lips with some difficulty, and wanted to smile and say yes. In the end, she couldn't say it.
Seeing that she didn't respond, the corners of Chen Yu's lips stiffened and his eyes narrowed slightly.
Lin Wan quickly changed the subject and talked about other things.
He said he would go home. The Lin family had never adopted him because the Chen family had already spread the word. Everyone in the Chen family knew exactly where he was.
I had previously used my family connections to punish violent debt collectors.
Chen Yu wanted to tell Lin Wan all about his first half of life, no matter how big or small. He even told her how painful it was to learn archery, fencing, and profit as a child.
He talked a lot and was very excited, as if he had never shared these with anyone before.
At this moment, he no longer looked like the cold and unbridled man he had been from a distance; even the smell of tobacco seemed childish on him.
He looked at Lin Wan as if he was looking at his spiritual support, or - spiritual leader.
When Lin Wan occasionally responded affirmatively, Chen Yu would be very happy and would lean against Lin Wan and sway.
However, the happier Chen Yu appeared, the more nervous Lin Wan became. It was as if someone was slowly pinching her airway, and she gradually found it difficult to breathe.
Lin Wan was breathing with some difficulty and did not notice that Chen Yu's eyes were gradually darkening under his smile.
When he was thinking about something, his pupils always became particularly dark, like a bottomless pool, and no one knew what was in it.
"But Chen Li and Hu Can both have their own lovers. I am just their descendant," said Chen Yu.
Chen Li and Hu Can are his parents.
That night, Lin Wan often thought of it when he woke up in his dreams in a foreign country at midnight.
After the party, they returned home and kissed and laughed heartily on the bed. Their relationship was closer than ever before.
In Lin Wan's heart.
At that time, Chen Yu was just a teenager, pretending to be extremely indifferent and even arrogant on the surface. But he was still immature on the inside. Even the slightest touch would make him impulsively believe that he had to have this person.
But she was pessimistic about this relationship from the very beginning.
Did she choose to give up such emotions without even a hint of hesitation or doubt?
Of course she had. In the last month, Lin Wan had looked at Chen Yu countless times, hoping to tell him the truth about his future life.
But once she met Chen Yu's hopeful eyes, she was at a loss for words.
Lin Wan always looked at Chen Yu silently. Whenever she wanted to speak, Chen Yu would always look at her with a smile and happily tell her something new.
The first effort is strong, the second will weaken, and the third will be exhausted.
Gradually, Lin Wan completely lost the courage to tell him the truth. She began to wish that this summer vacation would be longer, longer, longer, if it could last forever, so that she could smile like this forever, and all the green leaves would always be this bright and beautiful.
How nice it would be.
Lin Wan completely ignored the look Chen Yu gave her every time she looked away.
It was an almost paranoid determination to move forward.
When Lin Wan thought back to that time, she felt so clumsy. How could Chen Yu have missed every expression of relief?
He was clearly the best at observing his own expressions, knowing the meaning of every smile, and understanding his own urgency and desire.
How could he not know that he was hiding something?
But Chen Yu didn't say it, and when he was about to confess, he talked about other topics to dilute the matter.
Perhaps, he was simply unwilling to accept this matter and deliberately wanted to ignore it.
Chen Yu would bring him fruits every day, brightly colored apples, oranges, and grapes, which were washed one by one and placed on a plate, and then he would bring them into his room.
Then they would kiss, leaning on the small sofa in Lin Wan's room, with the brightest sunset of the summer behind them.
After the kiss, Chen Yu leaned against Lin Wan, his fingertips tangled in her hair. With a satisfied look, he asked Lin Wan over and over again, "Sister, we will always be together, right?"
Lin Wan rarely responded, often scolding him and telling him to get out.
Chen Yu looked as if he was joking and didn't care at all.
She thought she could keep the secret until the plane took off.
She thought she was mature enough to face everything in life, including storms and separations.
Lin Wan always felt that he was extremely sober.
She is just the daughter of an ordinary furniture entrepreneur, while Chen Yu is the heir of Xiwu Pharmaceutical.
There is a huge gap between their family backgrounds. Even if they love each other for a while, they will not be together in the end.
Instead of accepting a destined bleak ending, let the emotions remain at the best time. No ending is the best ending.
This is Lin Wan’s truest thought.
She was too young and thought that she could make the best choice for their relationship based on her limited experience.
This is the best arrangement.
He fulfilled his long-cherished wish and left his family; Chen Yu returned home to continue his bright future life.
Their future will be bright.
Even if there were some regrets in the past, regrets are also part of happiness.
But the accident still happened.
Chen Yu still found her visa the moment she anxiously looked at the drawer. Or perhaps, it was every moment she looked at Chen Yu.
In fact, he already knew it a long time ago.
Later, when Lin Wan recalled this incident, he still felt scared.
