Accidental Love - Chapter 37

The like from Shi Yan, in addition to causing ripples in Zheng Shuyi’s heart, also gave Qin Shiyue a cloud of fog.

She received the message reminder and clicked in to take a look.

Eh? Uncle?

She almost thought she was dazzled.

In Qin Shiyue’s eyes, it is not surprising that Shi Yan and Zheng Shuyi have WeChat friends. After all, the two have cooperated before, and it is not unusual for them to establish contact.

But the strange thing is that Shi Yan’s late-night likes do not conform to his usual behavioral logic.

In fact, Qin Shiyue and Shi Yan have many mutual friends, but she has never seen Shi Yan active in her circle of friends.

She even thought that Shiyan started a WeChat simply for work.

It can be said that it is for work. Some uncles usually send out work-related information, but I haven’t seen her uncle take a shot.

Let alone like a woman’s circle of friends.

Or everyday photos with no information.

Still late at night…

The more Qin Shiyue thought about it, the more something went wrong, and her desire to detect gossip made her click on the dialog box of Shiyan several times, eager to try.

But in the end, reason defeated the desire for gossip.

Forget it, isn’t it good to be alive?

——

The movie hasn’t been halfway yet, but the people in the cinema have already left.

There was a lot of time and space in the front row.

After a while, the people around Zheng Shuyi began to move around, some bowed their heads and whispered, some fiddled with their mobile phones, and even snoring came from behind.

On the big screen, the male and female protagonists are sitting on the beach and chatting about life.

The audience may already want to bring the director out to talk about life.

The airtight theater became less peaceful at first, and various emotions floated in the darkness.

Zheng Shuyi glanced at Shiyan quietly, wondering if he was also bored.

But he looked at the screen quietly.

The eyebrows are stretched, and the eyes are soft.

It doesn’t seem to be impatient, but it doesn’t seem to be very involved in the plot of the movie.

Just sit there.

Zheng Shuyi retracted his gaze and leaned back in the chair.

Before she knew it, she also glanced at Shi Yan and looked at the screen.

But it does not seem to sink into the plot.

The movie took a full 120 minutes.

At the end, only Zheng Shuyi and Shi Yan were left in the theater.

Oh no, there seems to be someone else.

There was a sudden noise in the row behind him.

“Wake up, idiot, wake up, the movie is over!”

This was also a man who had just woke up. Seeing his companion who came with him sleeping soundly, he slapped him on the head.

The fat man who was woken up rubbed his face and saw that the movie was finally over. He couldn’t help cursing: “Fuck, this stupid thing can actually come out to collect money. Who the **** do you hear that this is beautiful? These two hours Is it uncomfortable to sleep in the dormitory?”

The companion actually wakes up too, so he doesn’t bother to care about him.

The two got up together, the fat man looked at Zheng Shuyi and Shi Yan sitting in the front row, and exclaimed “Oh yo”.

“This movie is really **** someone who can see the end from the beginning, admire it, it’s awesome.”

The companion slapped him again and lowered his voice: “Fool, are people watching a movie?”

The fat man was puzzled: “Fuck? What are you looking at?”

Companion: “You deserve your **** solo…”

The two voices drifted away.

But their conversation circulated in Zheng Shuyi’s ears for a long time.

Shi Yan, who was next to him, remained silent and did not move. Zheng Shuyi didn’t know if he heard it too, and he didn’t know what to do.

Shi Yan finally stood up until the end of the ending song.

“Let’s go.”

Zheng Shu commented that he looked plain and nodded quickly.

“Let’s go, it’s late.”

On the way back, the two of them sat in the back seat of the car, and none of them spoke.

This silence is obviously very quiet, but it makes Zheng Shuyi feel a little uncomfortable.

The specific manifestation is-her palms are faintly hot, and even the temperature in the car seems to have changed significantly.

If she doesn’t find a topic, she will fall into random thoughts.

When he was almost at the hotel, Zheng Shuyi finally spoke dryly: “Ah, do you think it looks good?”

Shi Yan: “What?”

Zheng Shuyi: “Just today’s movie.”

Shi Yan seemed to think about it for a while, “It’s okay.”

“Oh……”

Zheng Shuyi nodded.

Shi Yan asked again: “What do you think?”

“Me, I think it’s okay.”

After Zheng Shuyi finished speaking, seeing Shi Yan’s gaze stayed straight on her face, the faint burning sensation in the palm of her hand seemed to be pulled by something, slowly spreading to her whole body.

She subconsciously wanted to talk more to alleviate the inexplicable ambiguity floating in the car.

“It’s pretty.” She nodded. “The picture of the heroine finally leaning against the hero’s arms is so beautiful. The two actors are really good match. It makes me believe in love again. It’s too sweet.”

Shi Yan glanced at her: “That scene is the imagination of the hero, and the heroine has passed away.”

Zheng Shuyi: “Huh?”

Shi Yan: “The hero committed suicide.”

After a moment of stunned, Zheng Shuyi blinked his eyes and his expression changed seamlessly, “Yes, it is like this, but this is also a kind of happiness, isn’t it? The two love each other at the end of their lives, and they will never change until death. Is it in love?”

Shi Yan curled her lips and chuckled, “Are you watching a movie?”

Zheng Shuyi: “…”

Until he got out of the car and entered the hotel and got on the elevator, Zheng Shuyi was still thinking, why the **** men and women are all dead?

Isn’t this a sweet romance movie?

Not to mention the gimmick of mutual redemption?

Why did you die?

No wonder the audience is gone, bah, cheating.

With a “ding”, the floor arrived.

Shi Yan lowered his head to see Zheng Shuyi was still immersed in his spiritual world, took her hand and walked out.

At the moment when his fingers touched, Zheng Shuyi quickly withdrew from the plot of the movie, stiffening his neck, and looking down at her hand, Shi Yan’s hand.

After two steps, I came to the door of the room.

He released his hand, raised it, and glanced at his watch.

The sequence of movements naturally made Zheng Shuyi feel that he would let go of her hand only after seeing the time.

It’s three o’clock.

Shi Yan frowned, also surprised that he actually watched a broken movie and saw the present.

“good night.”

“Oh.” Zheng Shuyi nodded, “Good night.”

But as soon as he walked in, Zheng Shuyi immediately took out his phone and found the Douban interface of the movie.

She read the synopsis again and read a few long comments, and a question mark slowly appeared on her head.

This is obviously the happy ending she said?

What’s wrong with Shi Yan?

Did he watch the movie well?

Zheng Shuyi: Why did you lie to me?

Shi Yan had just returned to the room and hadn’t slept yet.

Shi Yan: What did I lie to you?

Zheng Shuyi: The ending of the movie is obviously not like that!

Shi Yan: Yes.

Shi Yan: Then why don’t you watch movies well?

Zheng Shuyi’s finger paused.

If it were in the past, she could type dozens of sentences like “Because I’m watching you” and “Where do you have the mind to watch a movie next to someone else” without changing her face.

But at this moment, she still couldn’t press those keys.

Zheng Shuyi: I want you to take care of it.

Zheng Shuyi: I fell asleep.

Time Banquet: Good night.

——

The first day of the Krencher Forum was spent in such a turbulent situation.

The next agenda was tight and busy. Shiyan and Zheng Shuyi went to meet at various venues and occasionally invited to attend the dinner.

Because they are all insiders, and sometimes banquets beside him, keeping his face close to him, Zheng Shuyi can deal with it fairly well.

In this trip, in addition to receiving the most cutting-edge macro trends in the current industry, Zheng Shuyi also solidified many people in the industry. He returned with a rewarding experience and brought a successful end to this year’s work.

Zheng Shuyi and his magazines always have holidays not until the 30th of the New Year. Every year it is customary to end their work on the 28th day, which happens to be the day when wages are paid this month.

Since Zheng Shuyi published two high-profile articles this quarter, the prize money was very substantial.

So in the afternoon of the first day of the holiday, she went to the mall happily.

She will take the high-speed train home in the evening, and of course she will buy things for her parents as soon as possible.

Mother’s gift is a good choice, a cashmere scarf, and a pair of gold earrings. She is not interested in other things.

As for dad…

Zheng Shuyi has been shopping in the mall for a long time and he doesn’t know how to start.

Buy clothes or shoes, he may not fit well, and it will be troublesome to return them at that time.

When she walked to the first floor and saw a watch shop, she finally had an idea.

As soon as Zheng Shuyi entered the door, the shopping guide greeted him.

“Is it a beautiful player?”

Zheng Shuyi looked around and nodded.

Shopping guide: “Do you wear it yourself or give it away?”

Zheng Shuyi: “Give it away.”

The shopping guide led her to the new counter, and said, “Is that for men or women? How old is it?”

“Man.” Zheng Shuyi looked down at the display cabinet, “You’re in your early fifties.”

The shopping guide quickly recommended one, and Zheng Shuyi looked at it as well, but the price was a bit more expensive, 20,000 yuan.

But it is acceptable.

Zheng Shuyi asked for this one, glanced at it casually, and saw a ladies quartz watch.

Her gaze only stayed for two more seconds, and the shopping guide immediately took it out and showed it to her.

I didn’t think there was anything at first, and was personally put on her wrist by the shopping guide, and her white skin matched the crystal dial. Zheng Shuyi suddenly felt that the watch was on her hand.

After hesitating for a moment, the shopping guide immediately started fancy lobbying.

The only thing that Zheng Shuyi struggles with is that this watch is also in the early 20,000s. If you buy it all, her bonus will be almost half.

Thinking about it, it still hurts a little bit.

He was hesitating, and a voice got closer and closer.

“Let’s take a look at the watch… I don’t buy it, I don’t like wearing a watch… I buy it for Sinzhou… I think he likes this watch…”

Zheng Shuyi sighed suddenly, with only one thought in his mind: I won’t come to this broken mall again next time.

He unexpectedly met Qin Lezhi again.

Before she turned around, Qin Lezhi saw Zheng Shuyi’s back, and he recognized it at a glance.

She walked in with a friend, and when she passed by Zheng Shuyi, she glanced at her and said nothing.

Shopping guides who don’t know anything are still trying hard to sell.

“This watch is really suitable for you. Although the price is a bit expensive, you know that you get what you pay for a watch like this…”

The shopping guide Barabala said a lot, Zheng Shuyi didn’t listen carefully, only noticed that Qin Lezhi glanced here.

Just staring at each other, the invisible smell of gunpowder came out.

“All right.” Zheng Shuyi took off his watch, “I need these two.”

The shopping guide was happy, and while going to get the box, he said: “You can register for a premium member if you spend over 40,000 at one time here, and we have points to give away.”

Qin Lezhi didn’t respond much, but her friend gave a “tsk” and muttered to himself: “Why are there rich people all over the world, but I am a poor person.”

It happened that Zheng Shuyi followed the shopping guide and passed them. Qin Lezhi glanced sideways and chuckled, “You can also find a rich boyfriend.”

She didn’t say the last words: It’s just that she’s a little older, and she still has a wife and children. It depends on whether you can accept it.

The friend answered, “Come on, I know myself, even rich people look down on me.”

Zheng Shuyi heard her voice that was not deliberately lowered, and didn’t want to care because a new message came in on her mobile phone.

——It’s a feast.

Shi Yan: When do you leave today?

Zheng Shuyi walked toward the cash register while typing.

Zheng Shuyi: A high-speed rail ticket at seven o’clock.

Shi Yan: Yes.

Shi Yan: Am I sending you?

When receiving this news, Qin Lezhi stood by with yin and yang.

“It’s not the same if you climb a high Zhier, you have more confidence when you swipe your card.”

Zheng Shuyi gritted his teeth and replied “Okay, wait for you” to Shi Yan.

After returning, the shopping guide happened to have swiped the card and returned it to her.

She stuffed the card into her bag and said unhurriedly: “My boyfriend is rich, what’s the matter?”

Qin Lezhi only looked down at his watch, smiled but did not respond.

Until Zheng Shuyi passed by her, he dropped another sentence, “Not only is money, but you don’t have to be respectful when you see my boyfriend when you look back, right?”

Her face changed, and she didn’t even know if she should continue to sneer.

——

After a while, when Yue Xingzhou came to pick up Qin Lezhi for dinner, she couldn’t help but complain about it.

“Your ex-girlfriend can really do it.”

Suddenly mentioning Zheng Shuyi, Yue Xingzhou frowned.

“what happened again?”

Qin Lezhi pretended to inadvertently pick out the dishes in the bowl, “It’s nothing, I just found a rich boyfriend, and I have the confidence to go out and spend money.”

“she was……”

Yue Xingzhou quickly put down his chopsticks, “You should have misunderstood, she has nothing to do with the CFO of your company.”

“Oh, do you trust her so much?” Qin Lezhi finished speaking coldly, and suddenly thought of something, his expression changed, “Or did you contact her again?”

This is the red line between Yue Xingzhou and Qin Lezhi.

The last time Qin Lezhi found out that he had texted Zheng Shuyi, he was so angry that he quarreled with him for two days.

So he didn’t want Qin Lezhi to know that he had met Zheng Shuyi, otherwise he could make trouble for three days and three nights.

“No.” Yue Xingzhou said, “I guess.”

Qin Lezhi expected that he would no longer look to Zheng Shuyi with scorn, and sneered twice, “I actually reminded her, if the wife of Mr. Qiu knows this, he can’t strip off her three layers of skin?”

Yue Xingzhou was annoyed by hearing it, and he couldn’t explain it directly, so he had to say, intentionally or unintentionally: “If you are so uncomfortable, then you can just tell your little uncle no.”

As soon as the voice fell, Qin Lezhi’s eyes flickered, but his hand tightly held his chopsticks.

She immediately lowered her head to pick up the vegetables to cover up her panic.

“How do these things bother him? Let’s eat, I’m going to starve to death.”

——

Every time Qin Lezhi or Yue Xingzhou appeared, he could always swallow all of Zheng Shuyi’s good mood in an instant.

She was standing at the gate of the community, pulling the suitcase, her head hanging down, unable to lift her energy.

When Shiyan’s car arrived, it was a few minutes later than the agreed time.

He didn’t get down, and the driver came to help Zheng Shuyi put his luggage.

Zheng Shuyi was familiar with the driver, not so polite, so he said “thank you” and got into the car.

Shi Yan was sitting on the left side of the car, holding a financial statement in his hand, and raised his eyes when Zheng Shuyi came up.

She was obviously not in a good mood. She sat up and didn’t say a word. She leaned in the corner, picking her nails for a while, and getting her clothes for a while.

After looking at her for a while, seeing that she didn’t mean to speak, Shi Yan put down what was in his hand and rubbed his eyebrows.

“Traffic jam.”

Listening to him, Zheng Shuyi raised his head and glanced up, and the reflex arc reacted very slowly. He was explaining why he was a few minutes late.

“Oh.” Zheng Shuyi said dullly, “It’s okay.”

Probably because of what happened in the mall today, she is very uncomfortable seeing Shi Yan now.

The feeling is indescribable, like soaking in hot water for several hours, the chest is sore and swollen, and the breath is not smooth.

The silence continued to the high-speed rail station.

When parking, the driver first went down to carry luggage.

Zheng Shuyi slowly unfastened his seat belt, and when he opened the door, he moved slowly, looking at Shi Yan.

Just in time, Shi Yan also watched over.

“in bad mood?”

Zheng Shuyi was silent, lowered his eyes, and said, “Oh, this is not because I thought I couldn’t see you for several days, so I was a little unhappy.”

Her tone was very calm, almost non-emotional.

Shi Yan looked at her solemnly, his thoughts twisting a few times.

Finally, he sighed silently.

“Does every family go to relatives in the New Year?”

“Huh?” Zheng Shuyi thought for a while, “It’s okay, my family has few relatives, so I need to pay New Year’s greetings from the first to the third.”

Shi Yan nodded, “I see, come in.”
