Chapter Seventy-Four: Lingering Confusion
Du Yifan walked very slowly, not in a hurry, not in a hurry, and the night of the spring equinox was silent and silent. Only a handful of vehicles passed by accidentally, and the alternating light and dark lights inadvertently passed by him, flickering and flickering. He looked around, quiet enough to calculate the footsteps he had walked according to the sound of his ticking footsteps, then walked to the black Mercedes door, opened the door and slowly sat down next to the back of the chair, closed his eyes tiredly, sighed deeply, the late night evening breeze blew through the window, gently and softly into his ears, in an instant, the evening breeze blew away his wine, and in an instant, the evening breeze blew away the impulse and confusion in his mind that was carried by alcohol.
Now he was really awake, he looked at the silent night outside the windshield window in front of him, a little regretful for Fang Cai's reckless behavior, shook his hair hard, clenched his hands into fists and knocked on his temples vigorously, laughing at himself for being a foolish and ignorant fool, and scolding himself for being an out-and-out bastard, but he didn't regret it very much, and even felt a hint of relief, he thought, finally said it, and finally could show his feelings in front of her, even if he didn't confess his heart positively, but he believed that from the analysis of Cheng Siyu's words just answered, she had fully understood her mind, and with her intelligence and sensitivity and affection, she may have gradually noticed his unique care and patience for her, but she is silent and knows it. If she still acts ignorant, obviously, it's just because she doesn't want to know.
In any case, he clearly knew that he was out of shape this time, and under the urging and temptation of alcohol, he did something very different from when he was usually sober and rational, and at the same time, he also understood from Cheng Siyu's ambiguous refusal how unattainable his long-held wish was, but it also deepened his appreciation of Cheng Siyu's character, and he firmly believed that this was the pure, dedicated, and beautiful girl he loved in his heart. He said to himself that he couldn't do this anymore, he was a rational person, he was a gentleman, he had his own good friends and principles, and he warned himself that even if he loved her again in the future, he could only suppress his feelings as usual, hide his love, and bury everything in his heart. This is not difficult for him to do, he has always been good at collecting himself, not to be happy with things, not to be sad about himself, and not to be happy and angry.
He started the car and returned along the road, until he picked up Cheng Siyu in the car, and drove all the way to the hotel where she was staying, each other was silent, the atmosphere was stiff, and when Cheng Siyu looked out the window, she gradually closed her eyes and fell asleep under the hypnosis of alcohol. When she arrived at the door of the hotel, Du Yifan woke up Cheng Siyu, she opened her eyes sleepily, looking at him like a dream, Du Yifan asked worriedly: "Why don't I send you up." β
"Don't bother, I'm just taking a nap, I don't drink much, I'm not drunk. If you don't believe it, stick out your finger and make a gesture, and I'll be sure to see what the number is. Cheng Siyu immediately patted his forehead to dispel the drowsiness, Du Yifan saw that Cheng Siyu was articulate and quite awake, but his body couldn't control it and swayed a little.
"Alright then, talk to me when you get into the room, and I'll drive the car away. Du Yifan said.
"Okay. Cheng Siyu smiled and opened the car door.
"You have to remember, or you'll forget I'll have to throw the car here and go upstairs to find you. Du Yifan said half jokingly and half seriously.
"Do you need to go through such a lot of work, I'm not a child anymore. Cheng Siyu raised his mouth and teased with a smile.
"Of course, what should you do if you are so beautiful and abducted?" Du Yifan stared at Cheng Siyu with a torch in his eyes, and he saw a trace of apprehension from Cheng Siyu's bright eyes.
"Then I'll go upstairs first. She said, bowing her head in confusion.
Du Yifan smiled self-deprecatingly, looked at her distant back and said, "Am I stupid, why did I make such a mistake again." β
After a while, Du Yifan received a call from Cheng Siyu to report his safety and drove away.
After going back to the hotel, she sat on the bed for a long time, Cheng Siyu finally received a call from Shen Lingfeng, and she answered excitedly: "Hey Lingfeng, is it you?" The suppressed volume of voice could not hide her excitement.
"Of course it's me, not who else I am. Shen Lingfeng said on the other end of the phone.
"You're going too far, you didn't call me until this time. Cheng Siyu pursed his lips and muttered.
"I'm busy, I'm afraid to disturb you, don't you have to work, Zhang is always a very strict boss. Shen Lingfeng explained lightly.
"Yes, indeed, he's really strict. Cheng Siyu said with a slight complaint.
"What, have you been criticized?"
"No, it's just that he said a few words, it's inconsequential, it's so fierce. Cheng Siyu held the mobile phone between his neck and shoulders while holding a cup to the water dispenser to fill it.
"He's strict, you're like a flower in a greenhouse that has been locked up in a glass room for too long, and you have to undergo a little tempering to grow, otherwise you'll always be like a child who can't grow up, it's too hypocritical. Shen Lingfeng responded objectively and without being salty.
"I know that you don't feel sorry for me, I always say that I am hypocritical, I think I am pestering you, you don't want to think about it, if I don't like you, I will pester you, you are good, you don't want me at all, I guess you don't think there is anything even if you don't contact me for a few weeks. Cheng Siyu knew that Shen Lingfeng was actually analyzing her realistically, but since ancient times, women have always been unreasonable, and she wanted to complain about Shen Lingfeng's indifference to her for a while, at least in her eyes, couples in love should not be so imminent.
Shen Lingfeng immediately discovered her careful thoughts, and rubbed her through her unabashedly with a sense of victory: "You see that you are making a big fuss again, telling you that you are working, why did you suddenly blame me for my sake, I see that you said that work is a subtext, and it is true that you want to accuse me." β
Cheng Siyu sat on the bed with the phone in his hand and was speechless, vaguely glancing in his heart, and speechless.
Hearing that there was silence on the other end of the phone, Shen Lingfeng laughed like a smug prank in his heart, he liked to see Cheng Siyu angry with him and didn't care about him, he enjoyed Cheng Siyu's concern and tenderness for him, which made him feel very accomplished, but soon he felt that he was a little tough on such a little woman who loved him, so his tone softened and said: " Isn't it because of work, you know that my career is under a lot of pressure, and I have always wanted to make achievements on my own in front of my father, you know, I have also told you these days that this is in extraordinary times, and our whole company must go all out, and we must not slack off, otherwise how can I give up to find you now, you are my woman, you have to understand me. β
"I know, but aren't you already very successful, you have done well in several lists, and you are too demanding of yourself. Cheng Siyu said in a low voice.
"It's not enough, I want more than that. I'm a person who strives for the top, and I'm never satisfied with the small profits in front of me. Shen Lingfeng said firmly and confidently, without doubt.
There was silence on the other end of the line again.
"Okay, I know I've snubbed you recently, and I'll compensate you in a few days when I'm done with work. Shen Lingfeng said Wen Cun's words warmly.
"Hmm. Cheng Siyu responded, and his mood brightened again.
"If you have an emergency in Shanghai, remember to call me, I will reply to you as soon as I see it, I am very worried that you are not familiar with life alone. Shen Lingfeng said admonishingly.
"I know what you mean by telling me that there is nothing important to bother you with, I understand, I will be obedient these days. Cheng Siyu said.
"Poor mouth. Shen Lingfeng couldn't laugh or cry a little, and said helplessly.
"By the way, I met Yifan in Shanghai, and I just finished dinner with him and drank a few cocktails. She didn't tell him the special words that Yifan had said to her.
"Yes, it's really a coincidence, I know he's on a business trip, but I don't know it's Shanghai, so it just so happens that you can ask him if you have problems at work, Yifan's work ability is much stronger than yours, and people are also patient. Shen Lingfeng said bluntly.
"Yes. Cheng Siyu actually doesn't like Shen Lingfeng always underestimating himself, as if in his eyes, he is a weak female streamer who is difficult to become a big deal.
Shen Lingfeng heard a faint unhappiness from her tone, but he didn't want to redeem his words in order to cater to her, he was unwilling to give up to Cheng Siyu every time, because in his opinion, it was a bad habit to spoil a person step by step, and he was unwilling to lose the power to dominate this relationship after making sure that she couldn't leave him, he already understood very clearly and exactly, at least now, she could no longer leave him, and even said that he had become her spiritual sustenance and the center of gravity of her life, even if he did not recognize Cheng Siyu's emotional outlook on the supremacy of love and giving everything for love, knowing a woman well seemed to him to be a thing that exhausted his enthusiasm, maintaining the looming mystery and distance beauty can make him have a sense of freshness in love, but the thoughts that are ingrained in his bones are longing to dock in a gentle, kind, In the arms of a graceful and elegant woman, she is like a perfect woman who is as noble and generous as her mother, and she knows how to read and etiquette, Cheng Siyu has met his expectations and the sense of security he needs for his future partner in terms of appearance, knowledge and character, except for some immature and even cute little shortcomings in her temperament, he believes that he can slowly change her, polish her willfulness, and let her meet all the standards in his heart from the outside to the inside.
So he changed the subject disapprovingly and said, "I'll just tell you why you're petty again, it turns out that you've drunk." Drinking alcohol hurts the body, girls don't drink too much. But since Yifan is watching, forget it, don't be there next time I'm not there. β
"Okay. Cheng Siyu was absent-minded and said in a weak voice.
"You've been obediently these days, can I call you as soon as I'm free?" Shen Lingfeng said softly and comforted her.
"yes, I see. I'll wait for you to call, every day. She said.
The two hung up the phone after saying goodnight to each other. Somehow, in such a bottomless, Even if the lights were turned off, Du Yifan's sad and affectionate handsome face lingered in her mind like a reflection of a videotape, making her lie restless on the bed tossing and turning, she silently thought in her heart, why Du Yifan, who was usually so calm and steady, would inevitably fall in love with her, which made her uncontrollably proud of her charm, but soon this satisfaction was replaced by guilt and shame, and she was ashamed of herself for having this incredible prideγ She sighed deeply, and told herself to put aside everything that had happened tonight outside the Peace Hotel, never to mention it, never to think about it again, but slowly a touch of melancholy rose in her heart, and this melancholy made her feel deeply at a loss. She looked forward to it lonely in her heart, thinking suspiciously, how good it would be if Ling Feng could be like Du Yifan, and how happy he would be if he could also put himself first in his heart.
After saying that, I won't be thinking about it anymore, why can't I control my mind anymore!
"It's okay, it's okay!" Cheng Siyu muttered to himself like a vent, and then covered the quilt and fell asleep.
