Chapter 44 Secrets of the Secret
Yan Shuang put a cup of fragrant fruit milk green in front of him, took a sip, it was not very delicious, and he didn't drink it there, Lin Yan ordered, asked for two shrimp pizzas, and Bull Demon King pasta, because the name was weird, she also wanted it, she handed the menu to the waiter, and politely said thank you.
"It's a little cold tonight," Lin Yan tugged at her coat and shrunk her shoulders, starting with the simplest and most ordinary weather when the atmosphere was awkward, seeing that it was more than half of April, the temperature was high and low, which was unpredictable, "Did you come here walking?" β
"Well, just got out of class."
"Ah, that's a bit far." Lin Yan smiled quietly, there were few topics between her and Yan Shuang, "The pizza in this shop is delicious, in fact, the one opposite is also good, but the boss looks like a star I don't like very much, so I don't like to go." β
Yan Shuang catered to her jokes stiffly, thinking about whether to confess Yu Xiaoying's matter.
Originally, she made up her mind to tell Lin Yan, but now she hesitated, if this matter let Lin Yan know, whether it would be a blow or a redemption to her, would it involve a series of interest disputes, after all, Yu Xiaoying was the person on the guide's side.
Lin Yan saw Yan Shuang's unnatural expression under the light, the lines were stiff, and she wanted to stop talking, she blinked her eyes and said softly: "Actually, I know why you are looking for me tonight." β
Yan Shuang looked up in astonishment, her eyes reflected Lin Yan's calm expression, I haven't seen her for a long time, I don't know if she is still lingering, but how can such a blow be easily put down, Lin Yan's expression is a little less sad and more natural.
"I know why you called me out," Lin Yan repeated in a low voice, looking at Yan Shuang's eyes gently, "It's because of Yu Xiaoying." β
"You...... Got it all? β
Lin Yan's eyes were filled with guilt, and she nodded: "I know Yu Xiaoying, and I know about her boyfriend, and I even know more than you, in fact, I thought about whether she was manipulating behind the scenes, but I wasn't familiar with you, so I couldn't say it." β
Yan Shuang's pupils eased slightly, and the whole person was shrouded in gray silence, neither blaming nor making a sound.
"I'm sorry." Lin Yan lowered her head, her eyelashes trembling slightly.
Yan Shuang sighed in his heart, then shook his head, it doesn't matter if he doesn't say it.
"Yu Xiaoying's boyfriend and I are in the same department of the student union, he has looked for me many times, and always asked me out, although I refused every time, but he still insisted, once he said that he was looking for me to discuss sponsorship and publicity, I didn't think much about it and agreed, but we just came out of the classroom door, and happened to meet Yu Xiaoying." Lin Yan's voice was not slow, and she slowly told a story buried in her heart.
"Do you know he's Yu Xiaoying's boyfriend?" Yan Shuang asked softly.
Lin Yan nodded: "I know, but I am self-clear, there is nothing to be afraid of, it's just that boy, when he saw Yu Xiaoying, he had an expression of being caught and raped, his legs were weak, and at that time I knew that he didn't have a good heart at all, I don't know if he likes me to ask me out sincerely, and I can't deny the fact that he splits his heart." β
Yan Shuang agreed with this statement, "What happened later? β
"Yu Xiaoying didn't say anything, she left in a huff, in order to retaliate against me, I had the PS photos behind me and spread the message," Lin Yan's expression was a little gloomy, "But her boyfriend didn't know, she really thought I was ...... I was taken care of, so I didn't look for me again, and I was happy to be quiet. β
Yan Shuang thought of the chat records she saw in the print shop before, which was Yu Xiaoying and her boyfriend, and it seemed that her boyfriend had inadvertently learned the truth and went to her to ask for a reason.
But such a half-hearted boy is really sad.
"Why don't you explain?" Yan Shuang frowned, "Just let them slander you like this?" β
Lin Yan smiled bitterly: "What's the use of me explaining?" Gossip has never been short of listeners, people are only willing to believe what they themselves believe, so many people are waiting to see my jokes, how can it help me? β
Yan Shuang's heart sank.
"But I'm still very moved," Lin Yan's expression was serious and sincere, "Thank you, you are willing to believe me, you ...... Still by my side. β
Yan Shuang patted Lin Yan's head to express comfort, her heart was not completely let go. A little personal grudge can erase such a good person, are we all such small ants in the eyes of people who are more powerful than us?
"Yu Xiaoying doesn't have a bad heart, and she doesn't want to be judged, it's all the instructor who pushes the boat, she just wants to take revenge on me because her boyfriend, but I didn't expect it to be so big." Lin Yan sighed, the roast chicken leg was served, she reflexively shut up, and waited for the waiter to leave before continuing, "But I can't forgive her." β
"You don't need to forgive her, either." Lin Yan said.
Lin Yan smiled and swept away the previous haze, "I also feel much better after telling you, many things can't be explained by anyone until the end, I won't retaliate, but I will always remember this incident, just as a wake-up call for myself." β
Yan Shuang nodded, it was good that Lin Yan could think like this.
"I didn't tell you because I wasn't familiar with it before," Yan Shuang deliberately narrowed his eyes, "Then now-"
"We're good friends now." Lin Yan smiled even wider.
The atmosphere gradually relaxed, since it is certified as a friend, why are you so restrained, Yan Shuang is hearty, it has not been like this for a long time, and Lin Yan is like a game, and there is no longer the slightest politeness and strangeness.
Lin Yan took a bite of the egg tart, and suddenly asked Yan Shuang with a serious face: "Do you still like Li Feiran?" β
Yan Shuang snatched the last piece of pizza and glanced at Lin Yan: "Why did you mention him?" Do you still like him? Yan Shuang thought about it secretly, Lin Yan shouldn't have known that she and Li Feiran were unhappy before, how could she dare to mention this person in front of her.
In fact, it was precisely because she knew that she deliberately mentioned it: "Tell me about you, aren't you a high school?" How did you like him? β
I don't like it anyway, so it's okay to talk about it, just take it as a joke, and now that we're friends, I have to open up, "I was drawing at the time, and then I saw him roller skating downstairs." β
"It's as simple as that?"
"It's as simple as that." Yan Shuang shrugged his shoulders, "But I don't like him for a long timeβ"
Lin Yan glanced at Yan Shuang meaningfully, she knew that Yan Shuang and Tong Yang were close.
"Don't you believe it?"
"I believe it," Lin Yan still smiled, "I'm just thinking, if you like someone just by looking at it, then do you like it at all?" β
Yan Shuang suddenly thought of Tong Yang, when he walked in front of her on the playground half a year ago, she felt that Tong Yang's eyes were dewdrop-like and translucent. But what she didn't expect was that this boy would enter her life little by little, no matter what role he played, he was determined without any doubts - she met him. With him, this life is not in vain.
If you do it all over again, or Tong Yang doesn't step forward, I don't know what kind of ending they will be, whether they will miss the most beautiful scenery in life.
Lin Yan seemed to see the hazy fog of her heart, inducing her to see Tong Yang little by little.
Yan Shuang touched his nose and said a little uncomfortably: "What are you going to say?" β
Lin Yan looked out the window and whispered, in fact, she didn't have any friends after high school, she seemed to have a good relationship with anyone, but in fact, she couldn't have the best relationship with anyone, she had a boy she liked, and she would never see her again after the third year of high school, she looked at Li Feiran's shadow and fell, which is unfair to anyone, but she doesn't know what love is.
"What do you think?" Lin Yan asked, "What is love?" β
Snuggling up to sleep in autumn, he only wore a sweater to send her to the hospital in the temperature below zero in midwinter, the mobile phone connection for communication on Chinese New Year's Eve, the bright flowers outside the window, and the warmth of the young man indoors.
Yan Shuang's eyes are priceless pearls, changing color with emotions.
Or that day on a quiet evening street corner, the sound of empty feet echoing, inadvertently looking at each other, or bumping into a couple's hot kiss.
It was as if something was supposed to happen between them, but nothing happened.
At the age when they first fell in love, their hearts trembled for a moment or a long time for each other, but they chose to be silent, like sentinels defending ancient books, and jointly guarding the secrets of the two people.
Yan Shuang fell silent, she didn't know what love was, but at that moment, her heart really fluttered.
***
The two walked back to the dormitory together, stepping on the soles of their leather shoes on the floor tiles made a clicking sound, like following the soul of the body, the red and pink branches were the tail of spring, saying goodbye downstairs in the dormitory, Lin Yan looked at the back of Yan Shuang leaving, and stood in place in a daze, until she lost the shadow of the girl, and then went back slowly.
Yan Shuang walked to the door of 407, the door was not locked, he was waiting for her to come back, Zhou Yanyan was lying on the bed and making a call, like a former friend, the girl on the other side of the phone asked Zhou Yanyan if she lived in a four-person room, Zhou Yanyan shook her head, in the three-person room, there was a puppy named Yun Yifei, Yun Yifei showed her head on the balcony, don't think she didn't hear it.
Yun Yifei was busy with a white coat in her hand, carefully soaked in water, and carefully rubbed it with soap, but she didn't wash her clothes much at first glance, and the soap was too much, and the pool was full of foam.
"Haven't you finished washing yet? It's been half an hour. Zhou Yanyan hung up the phone and looked at Yun Yifei, who was still busy on the balcony.
"Oh, don't rush." Yun Yifei had a sad face, she didn't want to deform her clothes, so she carefully wrung out the water and found a large clothes to hang up, "It's the first time I've helped others wash clothes, how can I not care?" β
Yan Shuang felt funny, and looked back at Yun Yifei, who was sweating profusely, but the moment her eyes touched the clothes in Yun Yifei's hand, her expression froze on her face.
Because she recognized it, it was true, it was Tong Yang's coat.
