Chapter 6 Never forget
On the day Chen Qihua returned from Hainan, he brought Ye Shan a string of white shell necklaces as a gift. His complexion looked good, and Ye Shan's mood also relaxed.
"Thank you!"
"I don't know what to bring, so you can make do with it." Chen Qihua said with a smile.
They met at the cafΓ© they frequented and chatted casually. Outside the window, sunlight pours in through thin clouds.
"It's a good day to have friends." Ye Shan sighed.
"How's the trip?" Ye Shan asked.
"It's fine."
"How's the mood?"
"It doesn't seem to have changed." Chen Qihua shrugged.
"What's the use of traveling?"
"Satisfy the eyes."
Ye Shan looked up at Chen Qihua, and the two looked at each other and smiled.
"I can't help it."
"What about you? Looks good. β
"Perhaps, as you can see."
"Are you going to get married?"
"Married?" Ye Shanleng paused, although Lin Qinghai had this meaning, she hadn't thought about this problem yet.
"I think he's good." Chen Qihua commented.
Lin Qinghai is good, this is a fact, Ye Shan knows it very well.
"You haven't seen him again." Ye Shan said lightly with a smile.
"So, tell us about it someday."
"What?" Ye Shan's expression was surprised.
"If you're not sure, then I'll take a look at it for you, so you can settle down." Chen Qihua said with interest.
"And who are you?"
"Cousin? Cousin? Otherwise, my uncle can too. β
Ye Shan burst out laughing.
"I'm serious."
"I'm happy to see you back to your old self." Looking at Chen Qihua with a solemn expression, Ye Shan stopped joking, "Actually, I haven't thought about getting married, I just think it's a love." β
Chen Qihua was silent, then nodded, and said with a calm face: "Also, falling in love is not necessarily for the sake of getting married." β
"It's not like that, it's just not that much." Ye Shan explained in a low voice, looking dazed.
"Well, that's how it should be." Chen Qihua believes, "I have always felt that you are a person who knows how to grasp the moment and will do the right thing at the right time." β
Ye Shan smiled bitterly, "You're lifting me." β
"At least that's what I think."
"What about you? What about a new romance? β
"Before the old one comes out, the new love may be miserable. I don't want to hurt a person who is not willing to do so in order to relieve pain. Chen Qihua frowned, "So, I don't have that idea yet." β
Ye Shan's heart trembled suddenly, his thoughts were so sincere and simple. Compared with Chen Qihua, Ye Shan felt too small.
Remembering the past.
Shame on her.
But for Chen Qihua, it is beautiful.
An indescribable anguish filled Ye Shan's entire body.
The drink bottle taken out of the refrigerator was oozing with a layer of water mist, and Ye Shan quietly waited for Lin Qinghai to pour the drink into the glass, and then handed it to her.
Through the floor-to-ceiling windows, you can see a vast moon hanging in the sky, huge and complete.
A long time ago, Ye Shan dreamed of a house like this, with a large floor-to-ceiling window through which she could see such a perfect night view. However, all the motivation for all her sketches came from Tang Wending - the person who never belonged to her, but she was obsessed again and again and exhausted most of her youth.
It's ridiculous and incredible.
"Your favorite grape juice." Lin Qinghai interrupted Ye Shan's thoughts.
"Thank you!"
"You said your friend wanted to see me?" Lin Qinghai held up the canned beer in his hand.
They just talked about Chen Qihua.
"Hmm." Ye Shan nodded.
"I'm glad to hear you say that."
"Why?"
"At least you have affirmed our relationship in your heart, so you will introduce me to your friend." Lin Qinghai smiled happily, he was wearing casual clothes, which looked younger than wearing a suit.
Ye Shan lowered her eyes, not daring to look at Lin Qinghai's smiling face, what she gave was insignificant, but he was complacent.
"I'm sorry!" Ye Shan whispered.
"What?"
"What time are we going to have?" Ye Shan came back to his senses and asked.
"About this weekend."
"Okay, I'll tell him." After speaking, Ye Shan drank all the grape juice in the cup.
Over the weekend, it was pouring rain.
Lin Qinghai made an appointment to meet at an Italian restaurant, which was the first restaurant Ye Shan and he went to, the style was still the same, and Ye Shan looked at the restaurant with nostalgia.
At that time, Lin Qinghai was still very polite, although he was also polite now, but it was completely different from then.
Reserved, unfamiliar, and a little nervous.
Ye Shan recalled.
"Remember, this was our first date to eat." Lin Qinghai looked around.
"Of course I remember, the first time of many things is hard to forget."
"For example?" Lin Qinghai looked at Ye Shan.
"For example, the first time I left home, the first time I worked, the first time I liked others......" Ye Shan stopped leisurely, she felt that she had opened a conversation box that should not be opened.
"Do you remember the first time you liked someone?" Sure enough, Lin Qinghai asked.
"Ahh Ye Shan was a little overwhelmed.
"I'm sorry, I'm late."
A clear voice came, and Ye Shan looked at it, it was Chen Qihua, who was wearing the same grand suit as Lin Qinghai today.
"It's early for us." Ye Shan hurriedly got up and said with a smile, and then introduced them to each other.
"Nice to meet you." Lin Qinghai stretched out his hand.
Chen Qihua also stretched out his hand and said, "I'm too abrupt." β
"You are Ye Shan's friend, that is, my friend."
The two smiled lightly, but it made people feel extremely comfortable.
Once seated, they each ordered their own entrΓ©e.
In the next hour, I didn't expect Lin Qinghai and Chen Qihua to talk happily, they have the same career interests, and sometimes even have the same ideas, like old friends who have been separated for many years.
Although Ye Shan didn't like the topics they talked about, she still listened quietly, and watching two men who were familiar and attractive to her chat was also a pleasure in itself.
"By the way, how long have you known Ye Shan?" Lin Qinghai suddenly turned the topic to Ye Shan, probably thinking that Ye Shan was left out.
"It's not been a long time, it's been a long time." Chen Qihua set his eyes on Ye Shan.
"I don't remember either. However, some people become old friends as soon as they get to know each other, and some people don't even count as friends after knowing each other for a long time. Ye Shan looked at them, "Just like you." β
Lin Qinghai and Chen Qihua both smiled suddenly.
"What about you?" Lin Qinghai asked.
"We're somewhere in between." Ye Shan said lightly.
"After getting to know you, she's getting smarter." Chen Qihua said.
"What was she like before?"
"Careless, listless."
"Inadvertently, she's still like that." Lin Qinghai looked at Ye Shan and said calmly.
"It's hard to change your nature." Chen Qihua said with a smile.
Lin Qinghai also smiled and nodded.
Ye Shan frowned like a child and said, "Can you not use me as a topic." β
Lin Qinghai and Chen Qihua laughed at the same time.
"Cheers to our destined friends!"
After listening to Lin Qinghai, they each picked up the red wine in front of them, and then raised their glasses.
It was a very pleasant and enjoyable dinner.
However, the coziness and pleasure did not last through the night.
"It's been a long time since it's been this enjoyable." On the way back, Lin Qinghai sighed.
The rain outside the window was heavier than before.
"I should have introduced you sooner."
"The right time is the right time."
Ye Shan also felt that Lin Qinghai was in a really good mood, she turned on the radio casually, because of the weather, the sound was a little noisy.
"That-" After a moment of silence, Lin Qinghai continued.
"What?"
"It's hard to forget him."
"Who?" Ye Shan looked at Lin Qinghai's side face blankly.
"Someone I liked for the first time."
Ye Shan was stunned, it turned out that he had been thinking about this matter in his heart, even when he was talking at the dinner table.
Ye Shan smiled bitterly and did not say anything.
"I didn't mean anything else." Lin Qinghai added, "You should know that I'm not the kind of person who cares......
"Yes, it's hard to forget." Ye Shan said suddenly, as if she was angry.
Lin Qinghai originally wanted to try his best to improve the tense atmosphere, but now he also gave up and stopped laughing.
Ye Shan kept staring out the window, silent.
The rain was relentlessly whipped towards the glass, splashing everywhere. Ye Shan suddenly lost confidence in everything.
