Chapter 42
who is she?
Complex thoughts rise up randomly in my mind, like raindrops hitting an umbrella in the rainy season, making me feel upset for a moment.
Lin Wan never stopped for Chen Yu for a moment, and there was no reason to ask him to stop for her for so long.
Being in his twenties, it was time for him to have a girlfriend, and Lin Wan once again put herself above her sister.
Although there had never been a brother-sister relationship between them in a practical sense, at least thinking this way made Lin Wan feel more comfortable.
Even she didn't know the reason behind it.
Lin Wan walked forward with his head down, like a pickpocket who had just stolen something and was busy selling the stolen goods.
For Lin Wan, Chen Yu's presence meant chaos and disorder. She couldn't find a universally applicable formula from their interactions, which often left her feeling helpless.
The street lights illuminated the wet streets, the ground reflected a dim light, and one could vaguely see one's own reflection on the road.
Everything was so quiet, perhaps the world was paused at that moment, and everything seemed fleeting.
A light men's perfume with a fresh scent of some summer fruit.
The distance is getting closer.
It was like a silhouette emerging from the fog, the outline becoming clear before the facial features - thin, but more upright than I remembered.
The dark windbreaker had deeper marks on its shoulders from the rain, giving off a subtle sheen.
Lin Wan retracted his gaze.
The man seemed to have noticed her completely. This realization made her feel a little relieved, but also filled with an unknown sense of sadness.
Their time together was so short.
Lin Wan stretched out her hand to cover half of her face. Her hair had been permed at the same time as Wang Ranran's. It was curled and draped down her back, rising and falling gently with Lin Wan's movements, like gentle waves on the sea.
The moment their bodies brushed past each other, Lin Wan's peripheral vision was always focused on Chen Yu.
So the love he is talking about is the girl next to him?
It is extremely romantic for young men and women full of love to stroll in a foreign country after the rain.
Lin Wan pinched her earlobe, the slight stinging kept her awake.
Take a step and walk through.
The green light began to count down, and Lin Wan unconsciously quickened his pace, wanting to reach the other side before the green light ended.
Chen Yu could no longer recognize her. After all, he had changed so much over the years.
[Seven, six... three...]
During the final countdown, Lin Wan almost ran with her head down. She had never felt that the zebra crossing she had walked on countless times was so long, as if it would never end.
Her heart began to beat wildly, and she didn't even know why.
She remembered the curve of Chen Yu's eyelashes drooping when he kissed her, and the delicate warmth that once passed from his palm to her skin.
Don't think about it any further, that's the end of it.
[Two…One…]
The moment the green light turned red, a familiar voice sounded from behind Lin Wan, faint and somewhat cold.
He said, "Sister, long time no see."
Lin Wan's body suddenly froze in place, unable to move.
He recognized himself, when?
Will you recognize it at first glance, just like yourself?
Lin Wan froze for a moment, just a moment, then she immediately suppressed her emotions, pretended not to hear anything and continued walking forward.
She will not go back. This feeling is a burden to both herself and Chen Yu.
In that moment of passing by, Lin Wan finally understood his own feelings.
But, it doesn’t matter anymore.
Everyone was moving forward, but I was standing still.
She didn't look back. It takes courage to meet someone again after such a long separation.
But Lin Wan didn't have any courage at this moment.
The girl holding Chen Yu's arm was bright and beautiful, and had the vitality and liveliness she longed for. The kind of vigorous youth that emanated from her inside out was something she had longed for for a long time but never had.
Lin Wan knew that he was a stagnant pool. No matter how well he disguised himself on the outside, he was always quiet and pessimistic on the inside.
Lin Wan continued walking forward without looking back. This was her choice.
Chen Yu, goodbye forever.
She is really a coward and has always lacked the courage to face her emotions. If their story ended here, it would have been great.
Excellent, Lin Wan murmured.
The man behind him didn't say anything else.
Lin Wan turned a corner and finally arrived at his residence.
Her phone started vibrating. Lin Wan fished it out of her pocket. It was an unknown number. She flicked it off.
The next second, the caller ID appeared on the phone screen again, and it was a domestic call.
Lin Wan hesitated, tapping the edge of the screen with his fingertips, but did not answer.
The phone rang twice more and then the other party hung up.
Did I dial the wrong number?
Lin Wan was thinking about the reason. At that moment, she almost had her hair standing on end, thinking that it was Chen Yu calling.
She had memorized Chen Yu's cell phone number before, but then forced herself to forget it.
She climbed the stairs, forcing herself not to think about the past.
That night, Lin Wan did not sleep well. Childhood memories mixed with things from middle school kept replaying in her mind, like a videotape with a malfunctioning cassette.
She dragged herself out of bed and continued to finish yesterday's work, but she had too many complicated thoughts and she couldn't concentrate.
After working halfway through his work, Lin Wan decided to go to the boxing gym and do a few punches. Once his body was exhausted, his brain wouldn't have the energy to think about random things.
However, the flow of people in Chinatown today is even more crazy, with people surging like a flowing river.
Lin Wan had been here for so many years and had never seen so many people on the street. She squeezed through the crowd, tightly holding the zipper of her schoolbag.
The current situation was a perfect setting for a pickpocket to commit a theft. It was unknown how many pickpockets Lin Wan had passed along the way. By the time she arrived at the martial arts gym, her ponytail had become a tangled mess.
She reached out to tidy her hair as she walked into the small door of the martial arts hall.
Avi's shop usually does not open its main entrance, except on certain special days, such as the last competition, when the main entrance was opened in order to welcome more contestants and demonstrate the formality of the competition.
Normally, only a small door is available for entry.
Walking into the small door, Lin Wan looked for an empty classroom as if he was familiar with the place, and planned to find a sandbag to practice on for a while.
Lin Wan’s physical fitness was not good before, and exercise like running was simply a nightmare for him.
She didn't understand why people would fall in love with something that made them miserable and embarrassed.
My body was covered in sweat, my muscles were exhausted, and even every breath I took was painful in my throat.
But she seemed to understand a little now.
For her, intense physical exercise meant she had no energy for daydreaming. The exhilaration she felt after a boxing session helped her avoid excessive emotional drain.
After all, I was so tired after exercise that I just went home, took a shower and went to bed. I didn’t have any extra time to worry about it.
Lin Wan likes that period of time when her mind is completely blank. She always thinks a lot and her brain works for a long time without stopping.
For her, exercise is a form of relaxation.
Lin Wan pushed open the wooden door and saw Zhou Wangjing practicing with wooden stakes at the corner.
He studied the most traditional Chinese martial arts, and his moves were smooth and flowing, very beautiful. He and Awei were previously senior and junior students, and they learned the same style of kung fu.
Lin Wan had wanted to learn this before, but the practice time required was too long.
Faced with the long time, she immediately backed out and turned to learning Sanda, which was more effective.
The arm muscles hit the wooden stakes with a dull thud. Since the force is mutual, Lin Wan felt that Zhou Wangjing's arm must be in pain at this moment.
But just observing Zhou Wangjing's expression, he looked calm and seemed to have completely blocked out the pain.
Now facing Zhou Wangjing, Lin Wan still feels a little unnatural, and she is confused about the attitude she should present.
Lin Wan put her right hand on the door handle and just turned it when she felt like retreating. She glanced at Zhou Wangjing, thinking that if he didn't notice her, she would turn around and look for another empty classroom.
However, the opposite happened. Almost at the moment when the sound of twisting the handle was heard, Zhou Wangjing glanced towards the door. When he saw that it was Lin Wan, his eyes froze and he wanted to shift his gaze back to the wooden stake as if nothing had happened.
Obviously, Zhou Wangjing failed.
He looked at Lin Wan and greeted her indifferently, "You're here."
Lin Wan couldn't stand this strange way of getting along, so she forced herself to turn on the phone: "Come on, let's practice casually."
Her voice was a little stiff, and she stood under the door frame, in a dilemma.
After watching Zhou Wangjing pretending to practice boxing normally for three seconds, Lin Wan still walked into the classroom.
Almost the moment Lin Wan walked into the classroom, she saw Zhou Wangjing's shoulders relax instantly, and even his punching movements were not so stiff anymore.
In fact, Zhou Wangjing's thoughts are easy to guess. Lin Wan can almost always tell what he is thinking from his body movements.
Like a pool of clear water, you can see every fish swimming in it and every floating water plant.
This was very different from Chen Yu, who was always good at hiding his emotions and his words were always a mixture of truth and falsehood. All the emotions that Lin Wan could feel were what Chen Yu wanted her to feel.
It's not a pleasant feeling to be controlled by others, but Lin Wan doesn't hate Chen Yu.
She put on protective gear and punched the sandbag, which shook and made a dull sound.
After dozens of minutes, I was sweating profusely.
Lin Wan sat directly on the ground, unwilling to move.
Zhou Wangjing, who was standing behind her, started talking to her: "Isn't the school organizing an autumn party this weekend? Will you be there?"
There was a hint of tentativeness in his voice, and Lin Wan could sense the somewhat dazed look in his eyes as he cast his gaze upon her.
Isn't Zhou Wangjing a well-known dandy rich second-generation man in Jiangcheng? Lin Wan lowered her eyes and thought, but he seemed immature and green in front of her.
It seems that if I reject him, he will go back and blame himself and regret for a long time.
Rumors can be so powerful that they cannot be trusted.
Lin Wan took out her phone and looked at her to-do list for the day. It was a very empty day. Apart from a Chinese class in the morning, her entire afternoon and evening were free.
"It's not possible. I was too busy that day." She said this.
Since you have already rejected him, don't leave any thoughts for others. Cut it off when it's time to do so.
