Chapter 117: Lantern Festival
"Yan Yan, let the two of them put away their things and start eating. Zhu Xiuqin walked out of the kitchen with the last dish and shouted.
"Don't worry, he'll be checkmate in a minute. Qin Dahai smiled and looked at the stubborn Jiawen with a determined face.
"Jiawen, don't be dying, come over and help set the dishes and chopsticks. Si Yan chuckled.
"Hmph," Jiawen snorted lightly, refusing to surrender: "Don't worry, it can last at least ten minutes!"
Ding-dong doorbell rings.
"Who?" Zhu Xiuqin glanced at Qin Dahai in surprise.
"I'm going to open the door. Siyan ran to answer the door.
"Hey!" Yichen smiled outside the door.
"Yichen?" Si Yan was stunned: "Why are you here?"
"Is it Yichen?rare guest, please come in~" Zhu Xiuqin heard the voice, walked over and took a look, and immediately smiled.
"Auntie, I smelled the fragrance of the Lantern Festival. Yichen's nose fluttered, revealing a salivating and greedy look.
"Hehe," Zhu Xiuqin was amused: "This kid has also learned to be flamboyant!"
"Yichen," Jiawen looked at him quietly, with a glint in his eyes that only the two of them understood: "What are you doing here?"
He used the Qin family's parents to pressure him, it was too unfair!
"What, you're not welcome?" Yichen walked in with a defiant smile.
Who said that? Soldiers don't get tired of cheating!
"Yichen, don't pay attention to him," Zhu Xiuqin supported him: "I have the final say in this family." ”
"Auntie~" Jiawen found out that he had said the wrong thing and tried to save his decline.
"Huh~" Si Yan couldn't help laughing, was glared at by Jiawen, and hurriedly held back.
Dead girl, who is she facing now?
"Okay, why are you standing? The Lantern Festival is going to be cold. Qin Dahai smiled and beckoned everyone to sit down.
After eating the fruit, Yichen was not verbose, and made a straightforward request: "Auntie, I have something I want to say to Yan Yan, I wonder if I can take her out for a walk?"
"No, I'm against it!" said Gavin immediately defended his rights.
"Yichen?" Si Yan was stunned.
"Can't you say anything at home?" Zhu Xiuqin was a little confused.
"I'm sorry," Yichen looked embarrassed: "However, I promise to send her back before twelve o'clock." ”
"Jiawen," Qin Dahai suddenly smiled: "That game of chess is not finished yet, let's continue to play." ”
"Okay, Jiawen, I wish you progress every day and gain from the game!" Yichen squeezed his eyes at him, laughed and walked away with Si Yan's shoulder.
"Yichen, why are you angry with him?" Stepping into the elevator, Si Yan was slightly surprised.
Now, she really doesn't believe that there will be anything important in Yichen that must pull her away from Jiawen's side?
"What, you're distressed?" Yichen asked with a smile, her tone was still the usual doting, but there was a trace of injury in her eyes, so fast that she swept past before she could see clearly.
"No~" Si Yan blushed.
During this time, she fully saw Jiawen's domineering and domineering.
Although she is very happy to be with Yichen, she is really worried when she thinks that she doesn't know what kind of punishment she will face after she goes back!
"You, like him very much?" After hesitating for a while, Yichen couldn't help but spy on her mind.
"Hmm. Si Yan was stunned for a moment, and replied softly.
Yichen subconsciously clenched her hand: "No longer hesitate, have you decided to marry him?"
The blush slowly stained her cheeks, her eyes rolled, she nodded almost imperceptibly, and lowered her eyes shyly, not daring to look at him again.
Jiawen is so strong and possessive, things have developed so far, I'm afraid I can't help her if she marries or not, right?
It's just that, it's just that she was willingly occupied by him, happily enjoying his savagery and imperiousness.
Her delicate sweetness, the heartfelt smile and happiness, and the faint natural expression of the little woman's happiness stung him deeply.
His starry eyes narrowed, and his pupils narrowed suddenly.
God, she was so close to him that she could smell the faint fragrance of her hair.
He stared at her deeply, his body aching from the desire to embrace her, his hands quietly clenched into fists at his sides, his heart pounding.
An Yichen, are you crazy?
She's in love with Jiawen, and you're about to get married!
"By the way, what do you have to say?" Si Yan was thin-skinned and hurriedly diverted the topic.
Facing Yichen, who has been secretly in love for ten years, suddenly talked about his relationship with Jiawen, no matter how awkward he looked.
"It's nothing," Yichen pulled the car door open, trying to make his tone as relaxed and casual as possible: "It's just that I haven't been with you for a long time, and I just want to make one last appointment with you before I get married." You don't blame me for making your own decisions, do you?"
"You're getting married?" Si Yan was slightly stunned, and a trace of strangeness slipped through his heart.
When you think about it, it doesn't seem strange.
Yichen is thirty years old, so it's not unusual to get married, right?
Besides, he and Xu Lin established their relationship half a year earlier than her and Jiawen. Modern people pay attention to efficiency in everything they do, even Jiawen, who has been in a relationship with her for less than half a month, can't wait to put marriage on the agenda, what reason does Yichen have not to marry Xu Lin?
"Do you think it's bad?" Yichen's heart jumped suddenly, and he looked at her with a sigh.
"No, you are a good match for Xu Lin. Si Yan shook his head, shook away the loss in his heart, and smiled slightly: "I just felt a little surprised, I didn't listen to you when we ate together on the sixth night of junior high school." ”
"yes, it was decided recently. Yichen was disappointed, and barely managed to maintain a smile.
He's too greedy!
Even if Siyan said it wasn't suitable, what could he do?
Even if he can abandon the Clear Water Bay project, even if he can not lose his reputation, can he gamble with his father's political future?
"Yichen, do you have something on your mind?" After all, she has had a crush on him for ten years, and she is too familiar with his words and deeds, so it took no effort to notice his strangeness.
"Hehe," Yichen stopped and changed the subject: "Wow, I haven't been to Nanshan Temple for a long time, it turns out that this place is much more lively than before!"
"Yes," Si Yan followed behind him: "It has been changed to Nanshan Park, and the tourist attractions have been added, and the number of tourists is ten times more than before, and it is ten times more lively." However, for some reason, I prefer the old Nanshan Temple. ”
At that time, it was just a simple temple, and she also liked him simply and persistently.
Ten years have passed, and it has long been a vicissitudes of life.
"Ah, there are still rock sugar gourds sold over there, let's go, I'll buy them for you." Yichen rushed into the crowd, took two rock sugar gourds, and gave them a bunch: "Oh, eat it, when you were a child, you liked to eat the most." ”
"Yichen," she smiled while holding the sugar gourd, "Actually, I don't like to eat sugar gourds." ”
"Ga?" Yichen was confused at first, and then suddenly said: "I've grown up, so my preferences have changed?"
"No," Si Yan looked at him and said slowly, "I didn't like to eat since I was a child. ”
What she likes has always been the boy who squeezed into the crowd and grabbed the sugar gourd for her.
I like to see him smile with joy and simplicity, and I like to share the same food with him. Therefore, she also forced herself to join him, liking the sweet and astringent taste.
So, for ten years, she has been trapped in this love, confused, wandering, and melancholy.
But now, with the help of Jiawen, she finally got rid of the shadow of the past and bravely said what she really felt in her heart.
"Oh, then don't eat it, give it to me. Yichen's expression was a little embarrassed, and he stretched out his hand to retrieve the string of sugar gourds with memories.
"Ah, there's a Kong Ming lantern seller over there. Si Yan's eyes lit up, and a gentle smile suddenly bloomed.
She remembered that when she was a child, as soon as she reached fifteen, her brother and Yichen would take her to Nanshan Temple to put Kong Ming lanterns.
She still remembers that at that time, every year, she secretly hid her wish in her heart, hoping to get Yichen's love.
It's just that I don't know why because that love has always been in my heart, I don't dare to write it on the lamp, let alone declare it? This wish has long become a broken bubble, and there is no possibility of realizing it forever.
Therefore, she never wants to lose this love for Jiawen, she has to work hard to grasp it and bravely pursue her own happiness.
"Really~" Yichen looked over in surprise: "Didn't the city government explicitly prohibit the buying and selling of Kong Ming lanterns, let alone the burning of Kong Ming lanterns in the city?"
"But, don't you think Kong Ming lanterns are really beautiful?" Si Yan looked up at the sky and the floating Kong Ming lanterns, his beautiful eyes were as hazy as a mist.
"You wait here for me, don't leave. Yichen thought about it, told her, and trotted away all the way.
"Yichen?" Si Yan couldn't stop him, so he had to wait where he was.
Half an hour passed, and she still didn't see Yichen, she couldn't help but be a little anxious, and couldn't help but stand up and look around.
"Yan Yan," Yichen panted and ran back, holding a large stack of Kong Ming lanterns in his hand: "Let's go, let's go put Kong Ming lanterns." ”
"Ah~" Si Yan's eyes widened in astonishment: "Are you crazy?
"Hehe," Yichen pursed his lips and smiled, "Don't you like it?"
The only thing he could do for her now was maybe so much.
I like it very much, but I don't have to buy so much, when will I put it? It's miserable to be caught! Si Yan opened his mouth, looking at the happiness on his handsome side face, and finally didn't say anything.
Forget it, let him be pleased. Also, you can smuggle a few home later, and make Jiawen happy.
The car quickly drove onto the interchange, entered the ring highway, got off the interchange, entered the provincial road, turned around a fork in the road, and turned into an unfamiliar beach.
"Get out of the car. Yichen stopped the car, and Kong Minglan moved out of the car.
"Oh. Si Yan stood aside, looking at the colorful Kong Ming lanterns, and suddenly felt like a dream for a while.
Yichen half-squatted on the ground, took out a signature pen from his suit jacket, and wrote: "Yan Yan, you must be happy." ”
"Yan Yan, you must be happy!"
"Yan Yan, you must be healthy!"
"Yan Yan, never cry~"
Si Yan stood behind him in a daze, and when he wrote the sentence "Yan Yan, if Jiawen is sorry for you, tell me, I will help you beat him!", tears finally flowed out.
At this moment, she suddenly understood what Yichen's heaviness, Yichen's melancholy, Yichen's unhappiness, and Yichen's hesitation were all for?
She slowly crouched down and gently hugged him from behind, pressing her face against his back.
Yichen was stunned, suddenly petrified, and froze and didn't dare to move.
"Yichen, do you know?" Si Yan quietly shed tears: "For a while, I used to like you very much, and I liked to secretly pray that you would not get close to other girls, hoping that you would not show a smile to other girls, and you would not fall in love with other girls." However, you are always laughing, you are always surrounded by a bunch of girls, and you are always in love...... So, I was always crying, always unhappy, and always silent. ”
"Yan Yan~" Yichen was stunned, like a thunderbolt exploding in his ears, completely stunned.
It turned out that happiness had always been by his side, but he never paid attention to it, and passed by her thousands of times, but never looked back?
"This situation lasted until that day, you brought Xu Lin to me, and you said to me so happily: This is my girlfriend Xu Lin, and this is my sister Qin Siyan. So, I finally knew that I would never get a chance to enter your heart. Si Yan smiled, quietly wiped his tears, and spit out the thoughts that had been pressed in his heart for ten years, he thought it would be embarrassing, but who knew that it was unexpectedly relaxed.
Jiawen is right, feelings really need to be properly catharsized. Hidden in the heart, after a long time, it will slowly become a kind of psychological garbage, damaging health, and even worse, causing mental illness.
"Yan Yan," Yichen looked excited, and grabbed her hand suddenly: "I~"
"Shh~" Si Yan gently raised a finger to his lips: "You listen to me." During that time, I was really in pain, and it was Jiawen who was always by my side, encouraging me, enlightening me, teaching me, and comforting me. It was he who taught me that love should be spoken, and it was he who taught me to be brave enough to pursue my own happiness, and it was he who taught me what true and unforgettable love is. ”
"Yan Yan~" Yichen looked at her blankly, with novelty in his eyes.
"Yichen," Si Yan looked at him seriously, his eyes flashing with sincerity: "Jiawen loves me very much, I am really happy, the feeling of being pampered by him is like having the whole world." So, more than ever, I want you to be happy too. If you don't love Xu Lin, let her go, give yourself, and give her a chance to start over, don't be forced to be together because of external factors, then you will regret it. ”
It's a pity that now Xu Lin doesn't let go of him, he has no choice.
"Yan Yan," Yichen held down his sadness, opened his arms and hugged Si Yan tightly: "You have really grown up!"
How long has it been?
Such a powerful embrace, such a warm embrace, and this faint male fragrance evoked her childhood memories hidden deep in her heart.
"It's a credit to Jiawen. Never said so many words in one breath, Si Yan couldn't help but feel a little ashamed, and lowered his eyes shyly.
"Come on, you can write a few too. Yichen took a step back, let go of her, and bent down to pick up the Kong Ming lantern on the ground.
"Hmm. Si Yan took the pen and glanced at Yichen quickly.
Yichen turned around: "Write on my back, I don't read." ”
She bit her lip, hesitated, blushed, and quietly wrote, "Gavin, I love you." ”
Her heart was pounding, and she couldn't help but wonder, would Jiawen see this Kong Ming lantern? If he saw it, what kind of mood would he have?
Two hundred meters away, Jiawen's face was pale, he looked coldly at the two people hugging each other on the beach, cursed in a low voice, started the car and quietly left.
He really shouldn't have come......
