Chapter 66 [VIP] Best Friend's Shield (4)
Jiang Shaoyan suddenly felt very strange about the thought in his mind, and didn't know what to say for a moment.
The atmosphere suddenly became a little subtle. It wasn't awkward, but there was a vague sense of ambiguity, as if there was a layer of hazy window paper in between that had not been broken. When I wanted to take a step further, I found that it was not appropriate.
Neither of them spoke again on the way home, and only when they got home did Jiang Shaoyan let go of her hand and suppressed all his emotions.
"arrive."
Jiang Shaoyan glanced at her sideways.
Nan Yan still didn't say anything. She lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking about. She seemed to be still immersed in her previous thoughts and couldn't calm down for a while.
Just when Jiang Shaoyan was thinking about whether to say something to ease the atmosphere, Nan Yan finally looked up. Her eyes wandered and she bit her lip uncomfortably. She wanted to get closer to him but didn't dare to take the initiative for some reason. In the end, she could only glance at him cautiously, and when Jiang Shaoyan wasn't paying attention, she quickly leaned over and gave him a kiss on the cheek.
Now it was Jiang Shaoyan's turn to be stunned.
Before he could open his mouth, he heard what Nan Yan said, with an unignorable joy and a hint of inevitable regret in her eyes.
"Actually... I wasn't imitating Wanrou on purpose. I just thought you liked that, so I wanted to get closer to your preferences."
"Don't be angry, I won't do that again."
Her cheeks began to turn red, and she tried to hold her composure and pretend that nothing had happened, but her face had turned so red that even the tips of her ears were stained with a hint of red.
Jiang Shaoyan just found it very novel. Nan Yan's closeness made him frown subconsciously.
But after seeing her reaction, I felt a very strange feeling in my heart, but it was not disgusting at all. I even wanted to laugh. She was the one who took the initiative, and he hadn't said anything yet, but she was already so nervous that she couldn't speak. Now she didn't even dare to look at him.
Is he so unapproachable in her eyes?
Or is it that he usually acts too cold, so that when his girlfriend wants to get close to him, she has to look at his facial expression?
Jiang Shaoyan was speechless for a moment.
But then I thought...
He probably never gave her a chance.
so……
Shouldn't he try to let go of Wanrou and accept someone else?
Thinking of this, Jiang Shaoyan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had finally figured something out, and he felt much more relaxed in his heart, "I'm not angry, you don't have to be so nervous, since I said I want to start over, you can try to believe me."
Hearing this, Nan Yan couldn't help but smile. She was really happy. Her smile was gentle and pure, just like the warm sunshine in spring, which made people's hearts soften.
In the following time, their relationship gradually became stable. Without Fang Wanrou's interference, they lived a very stable life. Just like an ordinary couple, their feelings quickly heated up.
Nan Yan was like a frog in boiling water, allowing Jiang Shaoyan to slowly adapt to life with her. Feelings are mutual. If he is unwilling to take the initiative, then she has to take the initiative.
At first, they felt guilty and were too embarrassed to say no, but then things started to change. They started dating more and more frequently, and their originally harmless "house-sharing" life seemed to have a hint of romance.
Nan Yan would share with him interesting things in the company, such as the new second-generation rich guy who didn't look very smart, and exuded a clear aura that had not been polluted by knowledge. There were also many old employees who formed a group behind the boss's back and gave him all kinds of weird nicknames in the group, which made the boss so angry that he made them work overtime for another week...
Jiang Shaoyan couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and then he reasonably wondered if the group of hard-working employees under him did the same thing, secretly creating a group to give him a nickname?
There are many other interesting things like this that make their lives interesting.
Jiang Shaoyan was indifferent at first, but later he became addicted to her. He would occasionally complain to her about work, especially when his girlfriend gave him a new and refreshing idea. For some reason, he would have the urge to kidnap her and make her his secretary...
I feel really relaxed when I'm with Nan Yan.
There is no need to deliberately hide your temper, and there is no need to care too much about the other person's feelings. Just say whatever you want to say and do whatever you want to do.
Her favorite thing to do is to sit next to him, hold her chin, and listen to him talk about the various things he encountered in life and work. It seems that no matter what he does in front of her, she is supportive and tolerant.
But on the contrary, he would not be like this in front of Wanrou.
In front of Wanrou, he always plays the role of a generous and decent good friend. He will take the initiative to accommodate her and even carefully hide his thoughts so that she cannot discover his true thoughts.
But in the final analysis, he is also an ordinary person. As a human being, you will get tired and there will be times when you want to give up. People will subconsciously seek an environment that makes themselves more comfortable.
During this time, Jiang Shaoyan couldn't even remember how he felt when he was with Wanrou. For a moment, he even wondered if he would have fallen in love with Nan Yan if Wanrou hadn't existed.
It's a pity that there is no if. Besides, all men are cheap. He doesn't care about the one who is chasing him, but prefers the one who doesn't care about him at all.
Nan Yan couldn't help laughing out loud as she thought about it. Jiang Shaoyan behind her heard the sound a little strange, so he came over and rubbed her head, "What are you thinking about? Why are you laughing so happily?"
"Of course I'm thinking about you." Nan Yan asked as if she knew the answer already, and reached out to straighten his turned-over collar, smiling with her eyebrows curved, and the happiness on her face was visibly evident.
Jiang Shaoyan was not surprised to hear this. It seemed that he had gotten used to her occasional little thoughts, and sometimes even felt helpless.
Ever since that talk, his girlfriend's personality has become much more lively and courageous, and she even dares to say something flirtatious to him from time to time.
But if he really wanted to get serious with her, this girl would immediately frighten and squat obediently beside him, like a docile little quail that would not move until prodded.
But strangely enough, he wasn't annoying at all.
Even when I heard her say that she missed him, I couldn't deny that I felt inexplicably happier.
Jiang Shaoyan raised his lips and whispered, "What do I have to miss? I can see you every day, right? Besides, you can come find me if you miss me. I'm not forbidding you to come."
Nan Yan hadn't reacted yet after he said this, but he felt a little uncomfortable.
Just because it sounds like he is asking his girlfriend to visit him on set. When did he become so pretentious?
Jiang Shaoyan reached out and patted her head, then changed the subject abruptly, "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Tomorrow is the weekend, do you want to go out for dinner with me?"
Hearing this, Nan Yan couldn't help but look up and glance at him, her eyes becoming resentful, "Didn't we agree last week that your entire Saturday time belongs to me, Jiang Shaoyan, you are not allowed to regret it."
When she said this, Jiang Shaoyan remembered.
It seemed like this was the case. She even said she would prepare a surprise for him, but she was too busy with work in the past two days and forgot about it for a while.
Now that I think about it, I feel a little embarrassed.
He coughed lightly and said, "When did I regret it? I just forgot it for a moment. But what are you going to do tomorrow? Hey, what's that smell? It seems like something is burnt..."
Before Jiang Shaoyan finished speaking, he saw Nan Yan standing up in a hurry, then quickly rushed into the kitchen, turning off the fire while complaining, "Oh, it's all your fault, I forgot to turn off the fire when I was cooking soup, now it's over..."
Jiang Shaoyan was amused and angry by her action. He held his forehead and admitted helplessly, "How can you blame me for this? Why haven't I seen you be so unreasonable before?"
"Also, could you please slow down your movements? Be careful not to fall down..."
Before he could finish his words, he heard a loud "bang" coming from the kitchen.
What followed was the sound of porcelain bowls breaking, mixed with Nan Yan's screams.
The startled Jiang Shaoyan rushed into the kitchen before he figured out the situation inside, his tone full of concern, "I told you to be careful, why are you still so careless? What's wrong? Did you get burned?"
As he spoke, he pulled Nan Yan's fingers and checked them repeatedly.
Nan Yan was still a little dazed for a moment. She hadn't seen clearly where she was burned, she just felt a little pain in the palm of her hand. As a result, Jiang Shaoyan had already pinched her fingers, blowing air and scolding:
"I told you to be careful, why didn't you listen? It's just a bowl of soup, isn't it? If it gets mushy, it gets mushy. Can't you wait until it cools down before pouring it out? Why do you have to be so anxious?"
After saying that, Jiang Shaoyan kicked away a piece of debris beside her feet, and then she could see the current situation in the kitchen clearly. The floor was covered with debris, and the soup spilled from the bowl was all over the floor, and some even splashed onto her legs.
The more he looked at it, the angrier he became, so he simply picked the man up and carried him to the sofa in front of the man's surprised eyes. Then he turned around and began to rummage through the drawers looking for burn ointment.
Nan Yan also came to her senses at this time. She felt that this was just a minor injury and there was no need to make a fuss about it. She said a little embarrassedly:
"I'm really fine. Just two fingers were burned. It doesn't hurt now. Besides, I was wearing thick pants, so the splash of soup didn't burn me at all."
Just as she finished her words, Jiang Shaoyan found the burn ointment on the other end. He walked towards her with an expressionless face, which gave people a strong sense of oppression. Nan Yan pursed her lips and immediately stopped talking.
He sat down, and Nan Yan cooperated by extending her fingers over. Blisters had already started to form on the area where her fingers were.
Jiang Shaoyan frowned, apparently not expecting it to be so serious.
His fingers were long and nimble, and his powerful knuckles tightly grasped her slightly red palm from the burn. He pressed lightly, and Nan Yan couldn't help but let out a soft "hiss", "Lighter, lighter..."
Jiang Shaoyan couldn't help but glance at her at this time and chuckled, "Didn't you say it didn't hurt? Why do you look so pitiful?" After thinking about it, he still felt very angry, and pinched her fingers to check repeatedly, "Don't you see how much pain it's in? Do you think it's okay?"
He uttered words of instruction, but subconsciously he lightened the strength of his hands. His brows wrinkled slightly, and he gently rubbed the ointment with his fingers. A light scent of Chinese medicine immediately spread in the air, and it felt cool when applied to Nan Yan's hands, instantly relieving the pain on her fingertips.
Nan Yan looked down at Jiang Shaoyan who was carefully applying the ointment to her. The corners of her mouth that were originally pursed seemed to bend uncontrollably. "Shaoyan, you are so worried about me?"
She was really happy, her eyes slowly fell on the other person's lips, and she couldn't help but lean over and kiss him.
Like a dragonfly skimming the water, it left quickly.
But my cheeks turned red involuntarily.
Jiang Shaoyan paused in his movements. He didn't say anything to deny it, but his ears turned red uncontrollably.
Perhaps it was because the atmosphere was too ambiguous at the moment. He just felt that the kiss just now was like a soft and clingy little cat pinching his heart with its claws. But the pinch was not serious, which only made his heart itchy.
After finishing, Jiang Shaoyan turned his face away uncomfortably and coughed lightly, "It's done. Be careful and don't touch the fragments in the kitchen. I'll clean them up later."
Nan Yan was still immersed in the ambiguous atmosphere, but after hearing this, she couldn't help but ask, "Can you do it?"
Can this young man who has never done housework really clean the kitchen?
Jiang Shaoyan couldn't help but glance at her, expressing his dissatisfaction with her doubt, "A man can't say no, and cleaning the kitchen is not a difficult task. By the way, you should avoid touching water these two days, and don't bother yourself tomorrow, let's go out to eat."
But Nan Yan immediately shook her head and denied it after hearing this, "No, I won't go out. You promised me that I will prepare a surprise for you tomorrow!"
Hearing Nan Yan's stubborn tone, Jiang Shaoyan stopped what he was doing and looked at her disapprovingly, "Why is tomorrow so important? Why do you still want to bother with it when your hand is injured?"
Nan Yan couldn't help but laugh out loud, "You still have to ask me about this? You don't even remember your own birthday."
Jiang Shaoyan finally reacted.
It turns out that tomorrow is his birthday. No wonder this person started reminding him a week ago that he must free up this weekend. He originally thought that he would accompany her to do something or meet someone, but he didn't expect it to be this.
For a moment, Jiang Shaoyan wanted to laugh.
At the same time, I felt a little soft-hearted and my chest was stuffy.
In fact, birthdays are not that important to him. Others may take such things very seriously, but he doesn’t really care.
His family relationships have always been rather cold. After his parents divorced, they remarried and each had a new family, so he became the redundant one.
When he was a child, he watched his parents celebrate the birthdays of his younger brothers and sisters. He had some expectations, but the greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment, so until later on, he rarely celebrated his birthday.
And at this moment, she said she wanted to celebrate his birthday with him.
Jiang Shaoyan was touched and looked up at Nan Yan. She smiled and told him about what happened last year.
"Do you remember? We had just been together for a short time when it was your birthday last year. That day happened to be the school's graduation party. It was Wanrou who reminded me that it was your birthday, otherwise I would have no idea..."
"Later, in a hurry, I didn't choose a gift carefully, so I just bought you a tie. Wanrou even said that the color suits you very well..."
Her words brought Jiang Shaoyan's thoughts back to the day of the graduation party.
But in fact, he had long forgotten what Nan Yan gave him? Because he had never paid attention to it. The reason why he had a deep impression of that day was that Wan Rou gave him a key chain. It was the first gift he received from her, so he had a deep impression of it. And that key chain is still in his pocket...
Thinking of this, Jiang Shaoyan glanced at Nan Yan who was talking, and suddenly a rare feeling of guilt arose in his heart, and he felt a little uncomfortable.
Just when he didn't know what to say in response to Nan Yan, the phone on the coffee table suddenly rang.
The ringing interrupted Nan Yan's words...
Jiang Shaoyan, on the other hand, breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, answered the phone, turned around and went to the balcony.
