Chapter Forty-Nine: The Promised Birthday Present
Sean walked out of Shen Lin's studio and walked in the direction of the hotel where he was staying.
The mobile phone in his pocket was impatiently pulled out by him, unlocked, and directly dialed the familiar number.
The phone rang for a long time before someone picked it up, and Gu Yueyue's voice came from the other end, nasal, sleepy and lazy.
Apparently, at this time, she was sleeping. However, even when she is disturbed in her sleep, she does not seem to be very angry. On the contrary, because the phone was Sean's, her voice was unusually gentle.
"What's wrong, did you miss me?"
"No, I'm just telling you that I'll be leaving soon, and the Professor Frank's Dream Jewelry Journey exhibition starts next week."
With a few words, Gu Yueyue in her sleep was completely awakened.
Gu Yueyue hurriedly got out of bed and said, "Don't you want to separate them?" ”
"I mean, until then, we've got to get the plan done."
Sean said heavily, the light of the street lamp shining on his face, which made his unique three-dimensional features even more outstanding.
"Huh, looks like you have a plan?"
"Tomorrow, we'll meet at my hotel." Sean didn't answer Gu Yueyue's question, he just said what he wanted to say and hung up the phone.
Although his eyes were still looking at the sample in front of him, Shen Lin's brain unconsciously remembered the relationship with Sean.
She has never been the type of person who feels guilty about others easily, but during this time, she has always made Sean feel sad and guilty.
All in all, she may not be able to do it alone as much as she used to.
However, she didn't want that.
The ability of guilt to erode people's hearts is too strong for her to endure without consciousness.
Suddenly, the prompt tone of the mobile phone text message sounded, and Shen Lin obliquely looked at it, it was a text message from Sean.
"It turns out that this time, is it really the only way to do this?"
After reading the content of the text message, Shen Lin couldn't help but raise her head and sigh, and then smiled bitterly: "In the end, the ending still became like this." ”
For a long time, Shen Lin didn't know what to say.
What could she say? It seems that it is useless to say anything.
So she had to work harder.
Thinking so, Shen Lin once again buried himself in his work.
I don't know how many times the minute hand on the dial has been walked. Shen Lin suddenly felt a huge shadow covering herself, obscuring all the light in front of her, so that she couldn't see the details of the jewelry sample carefully.
Suddenly raised his head, standing in front of her, blocking her light was Yan Jingzhe.
Just now, Yan Jingzhe and Sean almost quarreled. Now, when he saw Yan Jingzhe suddenly appear in front of him, Shen Lin was a little panicked.
Somehow, Shen Lin suddenly remembered what she had said to Sean before.
"I don't know if it's love, but I know that I can love Yan Jingzhe, even if it's love."
Although the situation was grim at that time, Shen Lin knew that he did not say those words on impulse.
It's all true feelings from the heart, but all the while, she has been avoiding it, being afraid, afraid to say the truth.
"What's wrong? It startles you, and suddenly you are so flustered. ”
Yan Jingzhe walked around the design table as he spoke, came behind Shen Lin, and then hugged her and completely wrapped her in his arms.
Yan Jingzhe just came over to take a look, so Shen Lin was not disturbed. He likes to watch Shen Lin, who works hard. The fox eyes that are used to playing a little clever on weekdays, always show a different charm when they are serious.
"Well, I'm a little scared."
Yan Jingzhe's movements made Shen Lin a little flustered, and his whole body was tense and stiff.
Yan Jingzhe felt all this, but he didn't let go of Shen Lin because of this, but hugged her tighter in his arms. His lips were pressed against Shen Lin's ears and he whispered:
"Why, the little fox is sometimes scared?"
When she heard the word "fox", Shen Lin's heart suddenly became more uncomfortable, like a sour lemon being cut, and all the juice dripping into her heart.
Shen Lin didn't speak, just nodded mechanically and uttered a monosyllabic word "um".
Feeling Shen Lin's unnatural state, Yan Jingzhe did not frown, and stretched out his hand to rub Shen Lin's hair,
"It's my fault. I came out of nowhere and didn't say hello to you, but don't worry. With that, Yan Jingzhe put down Shen Lin's right hand and held her little hand tightly: "I'm all by your side, what are you afraid of?" ”
Yes, he was already nearby. What is there to be afraid of?
Sean used to say she couldn't be loved. But doesn't it show that she is already loved by Yan Jingzhe? And it was also welcomed by Yan Yan Wenxuan.
All of this is beautiful, complete, and even somewhat unreal.
As for Sean, she has always only told the truth, and she has always regarded Sean as a good friend.
A person may feel guilty about many things, but there is no need to be like this all the time, because you can't force yourself to take on an unacceptable love.
Just like the essence of nasal congestion when Yan Jingzhe didn't come, at this moment, Shen Lin's brain and feelings were opened, and all the knots were slowly untied.
Gradually relaxing the body that had been tense, Shen Lin completely integrated into Yan Jingzhe's embrace.
"Nothing to be afraid of." Shen Lin's voice became soft and brisk. Speaking of this, Shen Lin suddenly turned his head and looked at Yan Jingzhe pitifully with a pair of fox-like eyes, "But what if I'm afraid of ghosts?" ”
Yan Jingzhe, who was originally worried, suddenly found that Shen Lin was so elf and eccentric, and he couldn't help but be a little shocked. When he reacted, a pair of thin lips curved into a beautiful arc.
"Ghosts are afraid of yang, and I am full of yang. If you are afraid of ghosts, I will always be with you so that they will not come near you. ”
"Then you're too naïve, you're too busy to stay with me all the time. I also have to work. Shen Lin blinked and looked at Yan Jingzhe, saying that Yan Jingzhe was too naïve, which made Yan Jingzhe look a little stupid.
Without waiting for Yan Jingzhe to say anything, Shen Lin suddenly said, "In this way, you only need to accompany me at night." The sun is shining during the day, and the ghosts dare not come out, and you accompany me at night. ”
"Okay, then I'll be with you every night."
In order to deal with Shen Lin's little whim, Yan Jingzhe's answer was also very naïve.
At this time, if it was Yan Wenxuan, the child who didn't believe in science, he would roll his eyes and say that they were childish and ridiculous.
But what can be done?
Love can make people childish and ridiculous.
Shen Lin seemed to suddenly remember something, a beam of light flashed through her brain, and she stood in place and waited for a while, and then she quickly broke free from Yan Jingzhe's embrace.
Yan Jingzhe looked at Shen Lin's escape, and almost involuntarily felt very cute in his heart, and the corners of his mouth were curled.
Shen Lin rummaged through all her drawers for a long time, and finally stood up, turned to Yan Jingzhe with her hands behind her back, and slowly walked towards him step by step.
"Guess what?"
Walking up to Yan Jingzhe and standing still, Shen Linwei asked.
"Surprise?" Yan Jingzhe looked at Shen Lin quirky and asked.
Hearing this, Shen Lin nodded vigorously, in her own opinion, this was a complete surprise.
"If you take the initiative to propose to me, it's the only surprise I can think of right now."
Yan Jingzhe directly teased her, but Shen Lin shook his head and denied it.
"It's surprising that you can think of this."
Shen Lin said, stretching out his hand from behind, and a small black square box appeared in front of Yan Jingzhe, with the logo of Jaeger Lecourt printed on it. "Jaeger Lecourt's watch?"
"Well, I was going to give you a birthday present a long time ago, but I'm sorry to be late, happy birthday."
It's been a long time since his birthday. Yan Jingzhe didn't like the birthday banquet that Gu Yueyue organized this year, he didn't really want to remember what happened that day, let alone make up for any regrets.
But Shen Lin was so focused on things he didn't care much about, which made Yan Jingzhe a little surprised.
He felt that Shen Lin would give him a gift because she still minded what happened that day.
Frowning almost imperceptibly, Yan Jingzhe did not immediately accept Shen Lin's gift, but looked at her.
"Do you still care what happened that day?"
Shen Lin was also stunned by the question, and after understanding what Yan Jingzhe meant, she couldn't laugh or cry.
"While I'm sorry for what happened that day, I'm not going to make up for your birthday present because of guilt." After finishing speaking, Shen Lin grabbed Yan Jingzhe's big hand that he didn't want to stretch over, and put the gift into his hand.
"I promised to give you this gift in Denmark!"
As soon as these words came out, the past hidden in the depths of Yan Jingzhe's memory was immediately awakened.
This was the last night they spent in Denmark, lying in bed looking at the stars, and he told Shen Lin about his birthday.
At that time, Shen Lin was so sleepy that he didn't even know if Shen Lin really heard it.
Looking at the carefully prepared gift in Shen Lin's hand, Yan Jingzhe raised his head, held the back of Shen Lin's hand with the other hand, held it up to his face, and then kissed her pink lips quickly.
"Thank you." When leaving Shen Lin's lips, Yan Jingzhe said in a low voice.
Shen Lin blushed from this kiss, lowered her head, and was speechless.
Looking at Shen Lin like this, Yan Jingzhe suddenly laughed out loud, and then handed the watch box to Shen Lin.
She was shocked by this sudden behavior, and thought that Yan Jingzhe didn't want the gift she gave. As a result, in the next second, Shen Lin saw Yan Jingzhe take off the watch on his wrist now, put it in his pocket, and then put his hand in front of her.
Shen Lin was still at a loss, looking at Yan Jingzhe's arm standing in a daze, he didn't know what to do.
"Get it for me." Smiling helplessly, Yan Jingzhe pointed to the watch box.
Shen Lin reacted at this time, immediately opened the watch box in his hand, took out the watch inside, and began to help Yan Jingzhe bring it.
Yan Jingzhe looked at Shen Lin's movements, his eyes were full of affection.
Shen Lin was originally very serious and sacred, but when she raised her head after taking the watch to Yan Jingzhe, she couldn't help but feel a little overwhelmed because of her shyness.
His eyes deliberately avoided him, and after a period of silence, Shen Lin couldn't help but say, "Why are you looking at me like this?" ”
"It's nothing, it's just so beautiful, I can't help it!"
"But, but isn't that too ostentatious?"
"To like is to let the other person and the world know."
Yan Jingzhe stretched out his hands and wrapped them around Shen Lin's neck, leaving an affectionate kiss on her forehead, bridge of her nose and cheeks.
