Chapter 15: I Don't Want to Leave You
Early in the morning, Shen Yin was woken up by the ringtone of the mobile phone, she looked at the time It was half past seven in the morning, she picked up the phone in a daze, Wang Mengliang's voice came from the phone, she rubbed her head, and then remembered that she had made an appointment with him today to be his 'girlfriend' for a day. "I'll get up right away, where are you now?"
She heard Wang Mengliang smile obviously, "I'm still at home, remember to call me when you pack up, and we'll go to breakfast together." β
Shen Yin hurriedly hung up her phone, took off the bags under her eyes, and rushed into the bathroom. She tossed around the house for more than forty minutes before she dressed herself. She was just about to call Wang Mengliang, but saw his Cadillac XTS on the balcony.
She hurried downstairs, and he stepped out of the driver's seat.
"How long have you been here?" Shen Yin asked, she saw the mist on the car window, and estimated that he had been there for almost half an hour.
"I just came here for a while, I went to buy some ingredients in the morning, let's go to my house for breakfast today." He opened the passenger door.
Shen Yin sat in the car and habitually fastened her seat belt, but Wang Mengliang just smiled at her.
He parked the car downstairs at his house, carried the ingredients taken out of the trunk, and led Shen Yin upstairs.
Wang Mengliang bought a house in the city, but his parents like to live in the countryside, so he is usually the only one who lives in this house.
"Shen Yin, you sit and watch TV first." He put his car keys on the coffee table, turned on the LCD TV, and put the remote control in front of her.
Shen Yin wanted to offer to help, but she still swallowed what she wanted to say. She smiled softly at him, indicating that she agreed.
Wang Mengliang walked into the kitchen and began to get busy.
Shen Yin sat in the living room and felt that watching TV was too boring, so he turned it off, took out his mobile phone and began to browse the news.
About half an hour later, Shen Yin fell asleep on the sofa, and the phone slipped to the edge of the sofa. She felt someone gently pushing her arm, and when she opened her eyes, she saw him sitting next to her, "Breakfast is ready, you didn't have a good rest last night?" β
She hurriedly sat down and rubbed her face awkwardly, "I'm sorry, I'm a little out of shape." She really regretted that she had stayed up until eleven o'clock last night in order to draw a few more chapters, and she awkwardly got up and walked to the table.
She saw that breakfast was already on the table, two fried eggs and grilled sausages, one green vegetable, and one rice porridge. The smell of the food made her stomach rattle. Wang Mengliang brought the rice porridge to her, "If you are sleepy, go to sleep after eating." β
"No, I'm in good spirits." She was holding chopsticks, her face flushed.
He smiled at her, "Eat it!" Otherwise, the meal will be cold. β
Shen Yin drank half a bowl of rice porridge before she completely sobered up and remembered today's "business". She glanced at Wang Mengliang and saw that he was eating elegantly and continued to bury his head in eating.
"What? Does it taste bad? He sensed her gaze and lowered his chopsticks.
Shen Yin hurriedly waved her hand, and she asked hesitantly, "No, will your parents be there today?" After all, this is the first time she has seen someone else's relatives in this capacity, although it is fake, but she is still a little worried in her heart.
"Don't worry, my parents get along very well, and besides, I'm here." He looked at her tenderly and whispered.
"Hmm." She continued to eat with her head down.
After breakfast, she helped him clean up the dishes together, but he said to her, "Aren't you sleepy just now?" I'll clean it up, and you can go lie down. β
"No, I'm much better now." She put the bowl and plate in the sink, put some dish soap, and began to brush the dishes.
"Is it really good? I saw you yawn a few times during the meal. He took the dishes she had washed and washed them with water, and inadvertently he stared at her hair a few more times, and a few extra silver strands were unusually conspicuous in the black hair.
It was already past nine o'clock after they finished cleaning up, Shen Yin was looking for her mobile phone everywhere, Wang Mengliang took her mobile phone and shook it in front of her eyes, "Why are you here?" She took the phone from his hand and felt his body temperature still lingering on it.
"You just fell asleep." He sat on the couch and turned on the TV and watched the city's news program. He took out a box from the drawer of the coffee table and handed it to her, "This is the phone you broke down, I've fixed it." β
Shen Yin took the box, and the mobile phone that had been with her for five years was lying inside, "Thank you, how much is this?" I'll transfer it to you. She felt that now that they had nothing to do with each other, she should pay him.
"I've already said it's free." His gaze stayed on the TV screen and said lightly.
Shen Yin took out a mobile phone from her bag, this mobile phone is new this year, she put the mobile phone case on the coffee table, "I paid you for this, the one you gave me before was accidentally broken by me." β
He didn't look at the coffee table, but turned his head to look at her, and sat down next to her a little, his eyes full of doubt, "Shen Yin, why can't you forgive me now?" There really isn't anything between me and Su Yuqian, everything is just a misunderstanding. β
"I trust you, but we're really not suitable." She sat a little back, keeping some distance from him.
"Why?" He pressed closer to her.
She found herself at the end of the couch and immediately stood up, "No...... It's my reason. Her voice was as soft as a mosquito.
"Have you never liked me?" He stood up and looked into her eyes disappointed, as if he was about to burst into tears.
Shen Yin stood in place and was silent, and a voice in her heart kept shouting: "No, it's not like this, I like you too." But she couldn't do that, or she wouldn't be the only one hurting. Although she knew Wang Mengliang's feelings for her, there was always a Su Yuqian between them. She clearly remembered that afternoon, Su Yuqian's eyes and tone of voice that were so firm and straightforward when she said those words, she knew that Su Yuqian still loved him, even if Wang Mengliang didn't admit it, but Su Yuqian was his first love after all, in the world, what man can easily forget the emotions of his first love?
"I'm sorry!" She didn't dare to look him in the eye and lowered her head and said.
"I ...... Gaffe! He walked into the bathroom and closed the door with his hand.
Shen Yin stood in place, touching her hot cheeks and breathing a sigh of relief, she was not very fond of deceiving people since she was a child, and every time she lied, her cheeks and ears would be red for a long time.
At this time, her mobile phone rang, and when she saw that the caller ID was Zhou Fansheng's mobile phone number, she answered very curiously: "Hello, what are you looking for me?" β
"Shen Yin, can you come to my house? I have important matters to discuss with you. His tone was hurried, clearly something important.
"When?"
"It's better now." Zhou Fansheng obviously knew that she agreed, and his tone was naturally much calmer.
"I'm sorry, I have something to do here, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it today." Shen Yin still remembered today's task and refused.
"Oh, then you'll come over when you're free." Zhou Fansheng's tone was a little disappointed, but he still said politely: "Try to come directly within these few days." β
"Well, okay."
Zhou Fansheng heard that she had already responded, so he hung up.
Wang Mengliang just came out of the bathroom, caught a glimpse of her putting her phone down from her ear, walked up to her, and said coldly: "Is it your boyfriend?" β
She felt a cold air around her and hurriedly explained, "No, it's a friend at work." β
"Do you have a problem?" His tone softened slightly.
"Nope." She didn't know why she explained it to him just now, but when she thought that if Zhou Fansheng was her boyfriend, she felt that it would be better than him, after all, a handsome guy who can cook is better than a handsome guy who can 'pretend to be forced', thinking of this, her body couldn't help but shudder, when did she become so 'narcissistic', how could a celebrity like Zhou Fansheng look at herself.
"You're cold?" He picked up a coat from the couch.
"No, it's warm in the house." She smiled awkwardly.
He draped a coat over her, leaned into her ear and whispered, "You have to remember that today you are my girlfriend." β
Shen Yin's face immediately turned red, and her heart began to beat 'bang', so in order not to let him discover his thoughts, she had to change the topic and said, "When are we leaving?" β
"I'll just go to the kitchen and get something." He turned and walked to the kitchen.
After a while, with a lunch box in his hand, he picked up another coat on the couch and the car keys on the coffee table, "Let's go." β
Shen Yin put his coat on the sofa, picked up his bag and went out.
When they arrived downstairs, Wang Mengliang opened the car door for her, "I'll take this lunch box so as not to spill it." Shen Yin looked at the lunch box in his hand.
"It's pork rib soup in it, you be careful of burning your hands." He handed her the lunch box and whispered.
Wang Mengliang drove the car to the county hospital and parked in an open place. She followed him and went to the hospital.
When they came to the front desk, Wang Mengliang took the lunch box from her hand, took out her mobile phone and made a call, "Hey, Mom, we've arrived, what is Grandma's ward number?" β
Wang Mengliang hung up the phone and took her hand in.
"Why don't you just ask the front desk?" She asked him, confused.
"It's too slow." He took her hand tightly and replied casually.
They came to a hospital room, and he knocked softly on the door and pulled her in.
Shen Yin saw that there were only two people in the ward, a woman in her fifties was sitting on the edge of the bed, she guessed that this woman was his mother, and there was an old man in her seventies lying on the bed, and the old man was lying quietly.
"Mom, how is Grandma now?" Wang Mengliang walked to the side of the bed, his mother immediately stood up to make way for him, his grandmother smiled and touched his face, "Grandma, are you feeling better?" β
"Your grandma is fine, ** sick." His mother also looked at the old man in the hospital bed.
"It's much better, I lie down every day, when can I go home?" His grandmother held his hand with a kind face.
"Grandma will go home when she is well."
His mother turned around and saw Shen Yin standing at the end of the bed, "Liang, is she my 'daughter-in-law'?" β
He heard his mother's voice, put the lunch box on the table, and walked over to her, "Well, her name is Shen Yin, and she is my girlfriend." β
"Hello, Auntie!" Shen Yin smiled at his mother.
His mother held Shen Yin's hand and was very happy, she pulled Shen Yin to the side of the bed and put Shen Yin's hand on his grandmother's, "Mom, you see she is your 'granddaughter-in-law'." β
His grandmother held Shen Yin's hand and smiled happily as she pointed to the fruit on the table.
His mother immediately understood, and took the largest apple and put it in Shen Yin's hand, "My mother is very kind, let you eat fruit, you're welcome!" β
Shen Yin caught the apple, "Grandma, thank you!" β
Wang Mengliang whispered in her ear: "Shen Yin, please take care of it, I will go out with my mother to talk about something." β
Shen Yin nodded. He and his mother left the ward.
It was half an hour before they came in, but she saw that his eyes were red and there were obvious signs of crying.
In the past half hour, his grandmother has been telling Shen Yin about Wang Mengliang's childhood, and some things are not remembered clearly in the middle of the story, so she starts another, intermittently, about seven or eight. Shen Yin saw his grandmother's figure in his grandmother's body, so they got along very well, and there was continuous laughter in the ward.
"Grandma, what are you talking about? So happy! Wang Mengliang was the first to walk in and come to her.
"Nothing!" His grandmother looked at him and smiled, "Grandma is also tired, you take Shen Yin to go shopping, but you are not allowed to bully her." β
"Grandma, do you still treat me as a child?" He brought his face to her, "You touch, I've grown up, and I'm no longer a child in your eyes." β
"Hmph, Guan Gong plays with a big knife in front of him, in the eyes of grandma, you will always be a child." His grandmother laughed wickedly.
He put down the bed and covered the quilt for grandma, "Grandma, you rest!" And we went out. β
His grandmother waved, "Go ahead!" β
She walked out of the ward with Wang Mengliang, and outside the door, he asked, "What were you talking about with grandma just now?" β
Shen Yin suddenly remembered that his grandmother had just said that Wang Mengliang was the most naughty when he was a child, and he liked to go naked to the river to catch fish and crabs in the summer. Thinking of that scene, she covered her mouth and smiled, but she didn't expect to hold back and laughed out loud.
"Definitely talking about me." He looked at her calmly, approached her and said, "What the hell is going on?" I'm curious, too. β
Shen Yin retreated, but she didn't expect to be hit by the person next to her, she didn't stand firm, and she was about to fall, she reflexively wanted to support the wall. Her waist was grabbed by him, and she threw herself into his arms.
At this time, his mother had just walked from the direction behind Wang Mengliang, she was embarrassed to break free from his embrace, but she didn't expect to be hugged tighter by him, his face was about to touch her forehead, she stood on tiptoe and whispered in his ear: "Auntie is here, let go quickly." β
Wang Mengliang hurriedly let go of his hand and turned around, "Mom, grandma has already laid down to sleep." β
"Well, I want to go around with Shen Yin." Her mother looked at Shen Yin and said, still smiling on her face.
"Auntie, what are you looking for me?" Shen Yin walked over to his mother's side.
"Shen Yin, go out for a walk with your aunt." His mother took her hand and led her to the hospital compound.
They found a bench, and his mother pulled her to sit down, "Shen Yin, how long have you been dating Liang?" β
Shen Yin bowed her head and was silent, she was afraid that her identity would be exposed, so she didn't dare to talk nonsense.
"Shen Yin, you're embarrassed to say, Auntie won't ask." His mother smiled slightly, took her hand and continued, "Ryo, who grew up beside his grandmother since he was a child, has a deep affection for her grandmother. Her dad and I were out of town all the time, and we rarely saw him, so much so that he relied on us very little. Her grandmother is very sick this time, I'm afraid time is running out, although he has been very happy in front of us, but I understand the pain in his heart, he is a good boy, even a good man, I hope you can be by his side and can help him share some of it. Her mother said this, her eyes filled with tears.
Shen Yin hurriedly took out a tissue from his pocket and handed it to her, "Auntie, don't worry, I will accompany him." β
"Well, Shen Yin, thank you!" His mother took out a delicate pink box from her pocket and handed it to her, "Shen Yin, this is a little bit of our heart, you can accept it." β
Shen Yin opened the box is a gorgeous and precious diamond necklace, the chain of the necklace is silver, the pendant is a heart-shaped heart, and there is a masonry inlaid in the middle, the masonry shines in the sunlight, which is very beautiful.
"Auntie, I can't accept this." Shen Yin hurriedly closed the box and stuffed it into her hand.
"Shen Yin, this is what we gave you, and you are also my 'daughter-in-law' who has not passed through the door, you should accept it." His mother stuffed the box into her hand again, "Shen Yin, Auntie can see that you are a good boy, you are with Liang, Auntie can rest assured." β
Shen Yin's heart was a little uncomfortable, she accepted the box, and planned to return it to Wang Mengliang when she went back, "Auntie, I will take care of him." β
"Shen Yin, in fact, Liang has a knot between us and us, and it is precisely because of this knot that he has always deliberately kept a distance from us." She lowered her voice and said: "When he was in the third year of junior high school, I was doing business with his father in other places, but that year his father went to stock speculation and lost money, and he still owed a lot of debts after buying the store. His dad and I borrowed money from relatives to pay off our debts, but we were still more than half there. It just so happened that his grandmother was seriously ill and had to be hospitalized, we had no money to pay for the medical bills, and our relatives couldn't get enough money after they had borrowed everything, so his father and I went to find work every day, but that year we encountered a financial crisis, and factories around the country laid off workers, and we couldn't find a job in the field. Liang also took the high school entrance examination that year, and in order to be able to get together the money quickly, he skipped class privately to do small odd jobs, and fell behind a lot of homework, and finally did not get admitted to high school, and his grandmother's illness was not completely cured, and finally fell to the root of the disease. Since then, Ryo has stopped talking to his dad and rarely contacted me. He has only started to contact me in the last few years, but his relationship with his dad is still very stiff. β
Shen Yin didn't know how to comfort her, so she could only stay by her side and listen patiently to what she said. They chatted outside for a while, and Shen Yin walked around the hospital courtyard with her, and his mother told Shen Yin a lot about Wang Mengliang and their relationship, which made Shen Yin more and more sympathetic to the experience of this young man who was strong on the outside but soft on the inside. It wasn't until the sun outside was obscured by clouds and a cold wind blew that they returned to the hospital.
Wang Mengliang was accompanying his grandmother in the ward, and his mother asked him to take Shen Yin out to play, and now that his grandmother has her to take care of, they don't have to worry.
He pulled Shen Yin out of the ward, Shen Yin's heart was a little puzzled, they came to the parking place, Shen Yin sat in the car and asked, "Where is your father?" Why can't you see him? β
He hesitated slightly, "He's at home and usually comes back to the hospital in the afternoon." β
Shen Yin seemed to understand, so she stopped talking, and she sat quietly in the car.
Seeing that she was no longer talking, he asked as he drove, "Did my mother say anything?" β
"yes, but I can understand it." She replied softly, and Yu Guang glanced at him, and saw that his expression was gentle, and then he was relieved.
"Do you think I'm naΓ―ve?" He was silent for a while, looked ahead and said calmly.
"I just think you're actually quite happy, with such an understanding mother." Shen Yin lowered his eyes, as if he remembered something, "Unlike me, I only know how to cherish it when I lose it." β
"I'm sorry, I ......" he turned to look at her, an apologetic expression.
Shen Yin interrupted him, "I know that my parents left me and my sister when I was very young, and I rarely see them, and even when I do, I often get angry with them and deliberately avoid them. In short, I felt that my connection with them was only blood relationship, that they had just given birth to me and sheltered me so that I would not be an orphan. However, when my mother fell ill and passed away, I realized that this was not what they provided me, I don't know when their existence has penetrated into my bone marrow, even just hearing their voices has given me great courage and encouragement, so that I can do what I want to do without hesitation. But I realized too late! Their love for you is not as meticulous as grandma's love for you, but they also use their own way to provide you with another kind of shelter, so that you can get a different life. β
He was silent, as if he was seriously thinking about what Shen Yin said.
"Are you still hating your dad and refusing to forgive him?" Shen Yin turned his head and looked at him.
"Yes, if he hadn't gone his own way, my grandmother wouldn't be what she is now. It's all his fault. His voice was a little hysterical, but his expression remained calm, and he parked the car on the side of the road.
"I'm sorry!" When Shen Yin saw him like this, he felt inexplicably uncomfortable.
Wang Mengliang leaned back in his chair and was silent, Shen Yin was like a child who had done something wrong, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, I shouldn't talk about other people's things." β
He suddenly turned his head and kissed her, Shen Yin was startled, her brain was in chaos at the moment, and she forgot whether she should push him away.
His lips were gently attached to hers, and she felt a hint of warmth. Ten seconds later, he hugged her and whispered in her ear, "Shen Yin, I don't want to leave you." β
Shen Yin's brain was in a trance, her first kiss was taken away by him, but she felt the feeling of heartbeat, and her heart was beating fast. At this moment, she didn't want to hurt him anymore, she hugged him gently, "Well, I don't want to leave you either." β
His kiss struck again, and she didn't resist.
They went to the supermarket together and bought some ingredients. This time, Wang Mengliang held Shen Yin's hand until they came out of the supermarket.
Back at Wang Mengliang's house, he put down the plastic bag in his hand, Shen Yin just closed the door, he hugged Shen Yin's slender waist, leaned his head on her back and said gently: "Shen Yin, be my girlfriend, right?" β
Shen Yin was hugged by him, and his heart was full of happiness, "I have accepted my aunt's 'gift', is it the 'future daughter-in-law of the Wang family'?" β
He picked her up and put her on the bed.
Shen Yin's heart was very nervous, but he only carried her to the bed, covered her with a quilt, and whispered softly: "You can sleep now, I'll call you when the meal is ready." β
Shen Yin put his mind at ease and looked into his eyes, he gently put his hand on her eyes, and a warmth went straight to the bottom of his heart, "You're asleep, I'll leave again." β
She closed her eyes and could hear his breathing, which she listened to and drifted off to sleep.
