Chapter 090: Turning Point
The shadow of the setting sun casts on the water crumpled by the evening breeze, scattering large sparkling, rosy scales. The light and shadow fell through the dense foliage, turning into golden flickers.
Si Yan leaned against a hundred-year-old camphor tree, sitting on a chair, the pages of the book covered most of her face, and it was obvious that this person was in a fugue again.
A big hand suddenly stretched out from behind him, and easily pulled the book away: "What do you want?"
Si Yan was taken aback, and looked up in amazement: "Yichen?"
Yichen looked at her and smiled: "Grandma told me that you are here." ”
"You~" Si Yan looked at him in a daze, his heart pounding, and he could hardly believe his eyes.
"I haven't been here for four or five years, and it's still the same. Yichen narrowed his eyes pleasantly: "The air is so good, no wonder grandma refuses to go to the seaside." ”
"You, why are you here?"
"I'm here to greet my second uncle for the New Year, and I'll take you back by the way. Yichen smiled, with reservations.
In fact, after Fuhua's breakup that day, he barely stayed up all night.
The image of Jiawen kissing Si Yan passionately kept hovering in his mind, like a thorn piercing deep into his heart.
Chen Feng's memory was suddenly revealed.
Those happy times spent together, the youthful years of growing up together, are as clear as yesterday, and they are surging into my heart bit by bit.
He always felt that the quiet, well-behaved and empathetic face was so lovable, and no amount of favor and protection could be given to her. Yixin has protested more than once, and he attaches far less importance to this genuine sister than Si Yan.
Every time, he always smiled casually and replied casually: "Yan Yan is too timid, I can't compare with you." ”
In fact, Siyan at that time was not only timid, but also very fond of crying. She was like a shadow, always silently following Sizhe and him, running around with them.
So much so that later, when many girls wanted to ask him and Si Zhe to date, they would find Si Yan first, and through her, they would hand over the love letter to them.
He clearly remembered that whenever this happened, Si Yan would not say a word. If he and Sizhe revealed a little bit about which girl she was interested in, she would blush, walk away silently, and then hide to the side and quietly shed tears.
After doing this too many times, those love letters became paper airplanes or fed directly into the trash.
From high school to college, he and Sizhe were the stars of intercollegiate basketball tournaments. And almost every ball game, she will run to watch. Although most of the time she is quietly on the edge of the court, unlike other girls who will scream and cheer at them.
However, she always knew what they needed. Cook instant noodles when you're hungry, send mineral water when you're thirsty, be happy for them when you win, and cry for them when you lose......
This one is always chasing after him, likes to hide in no one's corner to peek at him, likes to carry his school bag for him, take the jersey, hand out towels, and deliver hot tea...... The girl who cares about him silently, since when did she start to quietly stay away from his life?
Once upon a time, the timid and docile little girl in his memory has gradually transformed, slowly matured, and grew into an elegant and gentle metropolitan woman.
She learned to be strong, to be independent, to have her own ideals, her own pursuits. Her eyes are no longer around him, and the focus of her life is no longer just him and Sizhe.
When she meekly accepted Jiawen's kiss, he was surprised to find that this little girl, whom he thought would never grow up, had begun to fall in love......
Gavin became the third young man to break into her life.
And this later intruder, at an astonishing speed, is attacking the city and grabbing the land, seizing the virgin land that he has carefully guarded for more than ten years, enjoying the happiness and joy that should have been enjoyed by him.
It was only at this moment that he suddenly realized that this girl, whom he had always regarded as closer than his own sister, had already been quietly integrated into his life, engraved into his mind, and became an indispensable part of his life......
"But~" I don't plan to go back yet.
Si Yan hesitated, and the words of refusal rolled on the tip of his tongue a few times, but he couldn't say anything.
It's Yichen, he actually drove so far to take her home in person, how could she refuse?
"Don't be, grandma is waiting for us to have dinner. Yichen interrupted her with a smile, didn't look back, and strode away with a chair.
"When did you come to Qinxian?" Si Yan trotted to follow.
"This morning. Yichen slowed down and waited for her.
"Oh. Siyan was silent, suddenly not knowing what to say.
She followed him quietly, Yichen didn't speak, and the two of them walked slowly on the country road, one after the other.
At this moment, time seemed to go back a few years, and the long-lost warmth surrounded them faintly.
"Are you back?" Grandma stood under the locust tree in front of the house, looking at the little children kindly, and the joy from the bottom of her heart rippled from her heart to her face, and her smiling old eyes bloomed into a golden chrysanthemum.
"Grandma, why did you come out?" Yichen walked two steps faster, mixing her arm: "It's windy here, I catch a cold carefully, and my joints hurt at night." ”
"Hehe," Grandma smiled happily, "Don't worry, Grandma is not old enough to be that old." ”
"Where is Grandma's old? Your old man's body is stronger than five years ago! I see, you are getting younger and younger!" Yichen said to his grandmother as he entered the hall and put his chair against the wall.
"This kid has a sweet mouth, if you really want to be like that, then grandma won't be an old monster?"
"How can there be such a beautiful youkai in the world......
Si Yan stood outside the door, silently listening to their funny jokes, his heart was numb.
At this moment, she really couldn't help but feel a little hateful.
It was not easy for her to make up her mind to forget Yichen and concentrate on accepting Jiawen's feelings.
How could he break into her life again and disturb her peace without her consent?
Since he doesn't love her, since he can't see her in his eyes, why won't he let her go?
"Yan Yan, if you don't come in, what are you doing there?" Yichen turned his head and looked at her in surprise.
"Oh, here we are. Si Yan sighed lightly and walked into the room.
The meal, under Yichen's deliberate management, finally ended smoothly and happily.
Despite some reluctance, grandma still didn't keep too much, but just invited Yichen to come back to play next time.
It can be seen that this boy is one of the reasons for Yan Yan's restlessness.
Although Yichen is not her own grandson, she has a close relationship with Sizhe, so she is no stranger.
When the children are older, they have their own hearts and their own lives, and she can only watch from the sidelines and silently give blessings.
After several struggles, Si Yan still couldn't resist Yichen, so he packed up a simple salute and the two of them went on the road.
"Thank you for taking the time to come and see Grandma. Si Yan thanked him in a low voice.
"She's also my grandmother. Yichen glanced at her and replied lightly.
Regardless of his personal relationship with Sizhe, after so many years, he has long regarded his grandmother as his relative. It's just that he studied abroad a few years ago, and after returning to China, he was busy with business, so he came less, which doesn't mean that his grandmother's status in his heart has been shaken.
"Yixin didn't come with you?" Si Yan changed the subject.
"You forgot?" Yichen chuckled: "She has never been here, saying that she has no time, and to put it bluntly, she is greedy for fun, and she refuses to come back." ”
Si Yan smiled awkwardly.
She certainly didn't forget.
Yixin is a hedonist through and through.
Coveting fresh and hot, chasing fashion and fashion, the style is avant-garde and bold.
Her life is inseparable from the neon of the city and the fragrance of clothes and sideburns.
If she stays in such a closed and backward village, even if she only stays for one day, she will die of boredom.
She would ask this only because she couldn't find a topic and was afraid of that wordless silence.
All along, being by Yichen's side will make her feel at ease, make her feel very comfortable, her spirit is very relaxed, and she is very comfortable. It was a pleasure to talk to him.
Because he always knows what she likes the most, and always finds it easy to find topics that she cares about.
But for some reason, today's Yichen has brought her unprecedented pressure.
There had never been a time when she and Yichen had been so cramped and uneasy as they were today.
That thoughtful gaze seemed to penetrate her soul and see the depths of her heart.
She was nervous, but she was also waiting for something, as if there was a fire in her heart, slowly burning.
is afraid that the things that have been hidden for ten years will be exposed in front of his eyes, and he hopes that he can discover her feelings and face up to her existence.
Such an ambivalence made her feel as if she was riding a cloud dust flying car, suddenly excited and inexplicable, and suddenly depressed......
"What, after staying here for a few days, you can't miss it?" Yichen loosened his tie and comfortably took control of the steering wheel with one hand.
Si Yan is different from today's girls, and only such a quiet and indifferent rural life can match her tranquility and gentleness.
"I love talking to my grandmother. Si Yan smiled, and his mood slowly relaxed.
"And what did you both say?" Yichen glanced at her, half curious, half inquiring.
"It's nothing. Si Yan blushed slightly.
"Ho, Yan Yan has grown up, does he have a secret?" Yichen teased, hiding the loss in his heart.
When did Si Yan exclude him from his heart?
"I'm twenty-five. Si Yan was displeased, and emphasized in a cold voice.
He was always like that, seeing her as a child.
When exactly will he realize that she is a woman, and a very attractive woman?
Yes, she is twenty-five, she knows how to fall in love, and she is beginning to appreciate men.
Yichen's heart was slightly sour, and he couldn't help asking, "You don't want me to come?"
When he was in the second year of junior high school, Jiawen once tactfully asked him about his grandmother's address, he pretended to be confused, Jiawen was competitive and strong, and finally gave up.
Wouldn't she be happier if he wasn't so selfish and told Jiawen the address, and he would pick her up and surprise her?
"What do you mean?" Si Yan frowned.
"If," Yichen turned his face, slowed down his speech, and his heart was gloomy: "If Jiawen came to pick you up, would you be happier?"
"Gavin won't come. When I said this, my heart was not without sourness.
Jiawen, Jiawen, he is usually the most proactive, when her mind is shaken, why don't you take the initiative to catch her?
"I said if. ”
Siyan was angry.
In the past, when he encountered such a situation, he would cleverly bypass it.
But today, he suddenly wanted to see where her bottom was?
He wanted to know how important Jiawen was in her heart?
"I don't answer false questions. Si Yan was angry and turned his face to look out the window.
What does he mean? A spring break has passed, changed his mind, and wants to send her and Jiawen to the pile again?
If you don't like her, why sell Jiawen in front of her?
Whether Jiawen is good or not, whether it is suitable for her or not, she will naturally make judgments, and she doesn't need him to do much.
"I'm sorry. Yichen sighed lightly.
This was not what he had expected.
He's not here to quarrel, he's here to take Siyan home.
Si Yan's temper, he is not unintelligible, subtle and restrained.
He had to use her feelings as a topic, and he didn't blame her for embarrassing.
"Xu Lin didn't come with you?" Si Yan lowered his head and looked at his toes.
"I'll go to the second uncle's house, what will she do?"
"Uh," the displeasure in his tone was too obvious, and Si Yan couldn't help but look up at him in surprise: "I thought ......"
"Why?" Yichen became more and more unhappy.
In the past few months, the two of them have been inseparable, and they have been in and out of the public pair, and she thought that the two of them were close to good things.
Si Yan fell silent in embarrassment.
Yes, she didn't like him interfering in her feelings. In the same way, why would he want her to involve Xu Lin?
It's just that the reason why she doesn't like it is because she likes him, and she is angry that she doesn't understand her heart and arranges her life arbitrarily.
But what about him? Why didn't he like her mention?
Don't......
Is that so? Will it, is it possible?
Si Yan suddenly became nervous, his mouth was dry in an instant, and his heart was pounding, as if he was about to jump out of his chest.
"Why don't you know me?"
"Yichen......" Si Yan swallowed his saliva and looked at Yichen.
It's an opportunity, and maybe never again!
In my heart, a small voice kept shouting: "Tell him that she likes him for a long, long time......"
"What?" Yichen looked at her, his heart suddenly raising his throat.
Her face was tense and her expression was serious, which made him nervous and began to feel uneasy, wondering what major decisions she had made?
"Yichen~" Si Yan wanted to speak and stopped.
He already has Xu Lin by his side, does she still want to confess to him?
Knowing that the result of the confession can only be exchanged for Yichen's embarrassment, her embarrassment, does she still have to disregard face and abandon her self-esteem?
