Chapter 31: Refusal to Confess
Zhong Yahan looked at Jiang Jinrui's longing gaze, was silent for a long time, and thought seriously for a while.
"We... Let's continue to be friends. Zhong Yahan took a deep breath and made up her mind to answer him with some reluctance.
"Why?" Jiang Jinrui got her answer, his face was shocked, his body trembled, and his excited and sad emotions gradually brewed in his heart.
He thought that Zhong Yahan would definitely agree to him.
Because they have missed so many years, he has finally achieved his life goal and can confidently promise her a stable and happy future.
He wanted to go on with her for the rest of his life.
But she flinched and gave him a surprising and poignant answer.
"Because..."Zhong Yahan paused for a moment and said in a calmer tone, "Because the two of us are not suitable." ”
The sourness choked in her throat, and she struggled to hold back the upswinging sadness, her pupils covered with a thin mist.
She originally wanted to say: because her good friend is Xie Yingyao, she doesn't want to build their happiness on Xie Yingyao's pain.
But she thought about it, let's change the reason, she didn't want him to anger Xie Yingyao because of this.
After all, there is no right or wrong in this kind of thing, everyone is innocent, and it is helpless for her and Xie Yingyao to fall in love with the same person.
"What's wrong? Is it because of Zhang Tianyi? He became a little agitated and couldn't help but step forward and grab her arm.
She was a little startled by his excited movements, and reflexively pushed him away and took a small step back.
"It has nothing to do with Zhang Tianyi, I just feel that in the past six years, I have always suffered from gains and losses because I like you. Your ups and downs often fill me with a sense of unease, and I don't want my first relationship in my life to start in this mood. ”
Zhong Yahan's eyes became a little red and swollen, tears swirled in her eyes, and she tried hard to hold back it from flowing.
"Not in the future, I will change what I don't do well." Jiang Jinrui said to her in a sad but firm tone, and couldn't help but stretch out his hand and hold her tightly in his arms, for fear that she would leave him in the next second.
"No, you don't have to change anything for me, you just have to be yourself." Zhong Yahan said to him sadly with a trembling voice.
She moved softly and tried to break free from his embrace, but found that no matter how she moved, she couldn't match his strength, but was hugged tighter and tighter by him.
Jiang Jinrui put his chin against her ear, and kept muttering, "Please don't leave me." ”
Zhong Yahan was a little out of breath by him, and shouted excitedly: "Jiang Jinrui, you let go of me!" ”
He was immersed in sadness and incomprehension, and his emotions were a little out of control, and he increased his grip on her to prevent her from breaking free, but he didn't notice her emotional reaction in the slightest.
With all her strength she strained to break free of him, she took a big step back, gesturing with her hand to forbid him to continue, keeping her face far away from him with anger on her face.
"Jiang Jinrui, if you do this again, we won't even be friends!" Her tears finally flowed down her cheeks as she choked and shouted at him in a choked voice.
He looked at her moist eyes with a sad expression, and wanted to step forward to help her wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, but he couldn't lift the heavy footsteps.
"I'll go back first, don't send me." After Zhong Yahan suppressed her crying and finished speaking to him, she turned her back to him, wiped the tears from her face, and then trotted away.
Jiang Jinrui looked at her departing back, sad alone.
The breeze on the bank of the river was a little cool tonight, and the temperature that hit his face was cold, and the coolness completely spread to the bottom of his heart.
The next night, Yin Huiyun finished filming in the field and was invited by the organizer of the event to attend the celebration banquet with her colleagues at the Fuli Hotel.
At the banquet, everyone's mood was high, Yin Huiyun was persuaded to drink several glasses of wine, she felt a little dizzy, and decided to go to the bathroom to wash her face and refresh herself.
When she was about to walk to the bathroom door, she saw a man and a woman standing there chatting.
Yin Huiyun looked at it and found that it was Liu Minfeng and Wen Zhiyin, she cursed in her heart, and quickly hid in the distance to look at the two, wanting to eavesdrop on what the man and woman were talking about.
"Don't you really think about me?" Wen Zhiyin stretched out her hand to block Liu Minfeng's way, and said in a somewhat shy tone.
Yin Huiyun, who was eavesdropping in the distance, showed a look of disdain on her face, clenched her fists, she really wanted to step forward and slap Wen Zhiyin,
"I've got a girlfriend, get out of the way." Liu Minfeng took away her hand blocking the way, and looked at her with some impatience.
Liu Minfeng's reaction gave Yin Huiyun some comfort in her heart, and she unconsciously raised the corners of her mouth.
"So what, unmarried men and unmarried women." Wen Zhiyin walked in front of him and continued to block his path with her body.
"Miss Wen, the twisted melon is not sweet, I only love my girlfriend, so you better go find someone else." Liu Minfeng said in a firm tone, ready to bypass her and go back to the box.
"What's so good about that Yin Huiyun?" Wen Zhiyin looked at Liu Minfeng's back with disdain and said.
"She is the best in my heart, and no one can compare to her." Liu Minfeng didn't take a few steps, then stopped, turned around and said to Wen Zhiyin domineeringly.
Liu Minfeng's words made Yin Huiyun's heart sweet, originally she was angry with him, but now because of his words, all the bad mood disappeared.
"Huiyun, aren't you going to the bathroom? What are you doing here? The female colleague's puzzled voice suddenly sounded behind her.
attracted the attention of a pair of men and women in the distance, and they all looked in the direction where Yin Huiyun was hiding at the same time.
Yin Huiyun was accidentally exposed, so she had to show up cheekily and smile awkwardly at her female colleagues and men and women in the distance.
"Huiyun, why are you here?" Liu Minfeng was surprised and delighted when he saw Yin Huiyun's appearance, and then he was a little worried about whether Yin Huiyun would misunderstand, and he looked at Yin Huiyun nervously.
"Hmph, pheasants still deserve to be here? And so rudely eavesdropping on other people's conversations. Wen Zhiyin snorted coldly, crossed her hands in front of her chest, looked at Yin Huiyun with disdain, and sarcastically sneered at her.
Liu Minfeng glared at Wen Zhiyin with displeasure.
When Yin Huiyun heard her say this, she deliberately stepped forward, held Liu Minfeng's hand intimately, looked at Wen Zhiyin's unfriendly face, and said softly to Liu Minfeng: "She scolded you." ”
"It doesn't matter, I only care about you." Liu Minfeng stretched out his hand to wrap his arm around her shoulder, and with his other hand, he gently stroked Yin Huiyun's cheek and said to her dotingly.
Wen Zhiyin was so angry that her teeth itched, and her eyes looked angrily at the two who were full of love and affection.
Suddenly, Yin Huiyun's mobile phone rang, it was Jiang Jinrui calling.
Jiang Jinrui on the phone asked Yin Huiyun to find a time to meet and wanted to talk to her about something, and his tone made Yin Huiyun feel that something was wrong.
Yin Huiyun decided to leave the celebration banquet and go to the appointment immediately.
She had a bad premonition in her heart, and she always felt that something must have happened between Jiang Jinrui and Zhong Yahan.
Liu Minfeng offered to go to see Jiang Jinrui with Yin Huiyun, and Yin Huiyun readily agreed.
Liu Minfeng took Yin Huiyun's hand and left, and before leaving, he turned around and threw a sentence to Wen Zhiyin: "Tell my parents, I have left beforehand." ”
Wen Zhiyin's heart was filled with this sour airflow, and her eyes looked at the two people who were holding hands and leaving with jealousy.
The background music in the café played melodious light music, gathering all the emptiness between heaven and earth for a long time, and the air was filled with a faint smell of bitter coffee.
Jiang Jinrui took a sip of the thick bitter coffee, and the bitter taste spread into his throat, and then went straight to the tip of his heart.
Yin Huiyun and Liu Minfeng stared at Jiang Jinrui, who was depressed, with puzzled eyes, and none of them said a word.
"I confessed to her last night, but she rejected me." Jiang Jinrui, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke, smiled bitterly, and gently put down the coffee cup.
"Huh? Yahan likes you so much, how is it possible? Liu Minfeng was a little shocked, with an expression of disbelief.
"Have you encountered anything lately, I heard Xinxin say that Yahan has become a little strange recently." Yin Huiyun was also a little surprised.
"I didn't know that she had been alienating me since we went to the amusement park."
"Did you say something to make her unhappy when you were at the amusement park?" Yin Huiyun continued to ask, trying to analyze in her heart.
Jiang Jinrui pondered for a while, and suddenly remembered the half-said confession in the amusement park.
"Actually, when I was at the amusement park, I almost confessed to her at the time, but before I could say it, she answered your roommate's phone call, saying that she was out of love, and then she hurried back, and then she snubbed me the next day." Jiang Jinrui recalled in great wonder, and couldn't think of what he said to make her unhappy.
"Our roommates? You mean Xie Yingyao? Yin Huiyun thought about it and felt that the lovelorn roommate he said should be Xie Yingyao.
She quarreled with Liu Minfeng that night, and when she went back to the apartment, it was a little late, and her roommates were asleep, so she didn't know what was going on there.
Jiang Jinrui felt very familiar when he heard this name, his eyes widened in surprise, and he suddenly remembered that the girl he rejected last time was also named Xie Yingyao.
"The best thing to play with Xie Yingyao in our dormitory is Yahan, Xie Yingyao shouted in the dormitory all day long that she had a benefactor, but her confession to that benefactor was rejected a while ago. I'm wondering, is it possible that Zhong Yahan was affected by her emotions or listened to what she said? Yin Huiyun analyzed in an orderly manner.
"What company does your roommate work for?" Jiang Jinrui's heart was shocked, and he felt that everything Yin Huiyun said was too consistent with Xie Yingyao, who was rejected by him.
"Working as a support staff at Globe Magazine."
Jiang Jinrui's eyes widened, and he looked at Yin Huiyun in disbelief, it turned out that the girl he refused last time turned out to be Zhong Yahan's roommate.
"Then it seems that the benefactor your roommate said is me, Global Magazine is downstairs in my company, and Xie Yingyao is the girl who confessed to me a while ago and was rejected by me." Jiang Jinrui calmed down his shocked emotions and said to Yin Huiyun in a deep voice.
Liu Minfeng, who was sitting next to Yin Huiyun, was dumbfounded as he listened to the conversation between the two.
He thought to himself: There is such a coincidence in the world, which is even more bloody than in the TV series.
"Then I understand, Yahan should have found out that the person Xie Yingyao likes is you, but she is kind by nature and can't bear to hurt Xie Yingyao, so she chooses to sacrifice you." Yin Huiyun clarified her thoughts and analyzed it seriously.
