Chapter 22: Give Me a Reason to Let Go
It was Yin Yichen who came. Since the last time he sent Shen Linxi a text message of "wait for me", Shen Linxi has not replied to him, which makes him very anxious and feels more and more tormented.
Even if I expressed my mind again afterwards, it was still ......
Today, he suddenly had a strong desire to see Shen Linxi, and he couldn't wait for a moment. He wanted to confess to her directly, because he was really afraid that when he had the ability and qualification to express his love to Shen Linxi, she was no longer there waiting for him.
Yin Yichen picked up his mobile phone and wanted to call Shen Linxi, but suddenly found that there was a mobile phone call record between him and Shen Linxi a few days ago, and this was still an incoming call, which was sent to him by Shen Linxi!
Yin Yichen was very confused and puzzled. He didn't answer Shen Linxi's call, but why did the phone show that the call had been answered? He took a closer look at the time of the call, which was 9:56 p.m. on Saturday night.
Suddenly, a flash flashed in his mind, and he remembered that Han Ruiyan had borrowed his mobile phone to go out to make a call. Could it be that Han Ruiyan answered the phone but didn't tell him? If it was indeed her who took it, then what did she and Shen Linxi say?
Yin Yichen wanted to ask Han Ruiyan first if she had received Shen Linxi's call, but after he thought about it, after he saw Shen Linxi, everything was clear. So, he immediately dialed Shen Linxi's mobile phone, but after dialing twice, Shen Linxi did not answer.
He didn't know if Shen Linxi didn't hear the phone ringtone, or if he heard it, but he deliberately didn't answer it? Whatever the case may be, Yin Yichen just wants to see her right away now. He grabbed his bicycle keys and hurried out the dormitory door.
He went to Shen Linxi's dormitory and went to the classroom where she often went to self-study, but he didn't find her. Remembering that Shen Linxi still likes to go to the library on weekdays, Yin Yichen rode to the library at a gallop.
When he arrived, he saw two people standing not far away, under the willow tree in front of the library.
Yin Yichen immediately fixed his body and finally found her! It was a figure he was all too familiar with, wearing a long aqua blue dress, which made her look long and beautiful, like a slowly blooming lily of the valley. Yin Yichen's anxious mood immediately relaxed!
But then, his heart became inexplicably nervous, because he saw a tall boy standing in front of Shen Linxi.
I saw that the boy was wearing a blue shirt on his upper body and a white trouser underneath, which looked very energetic! Is Shen Linxi talking to her classmates? Yin Yichen thought to himself, and his feet couldn't help but slow down.
Suddenly, he saw that the boy kissed Shen Linxi the lips as soon as he lowered his head, and Shen Linxi looked at each other like that, and then the boy put his forehead against her forehead, not knowing what he was whispering and laughing about.
Yin Yichen's blood immediately surged up to the top of his head. What's going on? What happened? His brain can't think anymore, is this Shen Linxi? Yin Yichen leaned his bicycle against a tree next to him without thinking, and walked straight forward.
I only heard a familiar voice say, "Shang Yuchen, this is in school." You~~" Immediately after, the boy said, "My princess is shy? Okay, let's go to my place, okay? ”
When Yin Yichen heard this, he felt that his brain was blank, and only one voice kept echoing in his head: It's not true, it's not true......
"Linxi!" Yin Yichen involuntarily screamed. When Shen Linxi heard this familiar call, she froze, and at the same time, a thought flashed in an instant: It's over! The scene just now must have been seen by Yin Yichen.
She subconsciously pushed Shang Yuchen away and turned her head to look at Yin Yichen. I saw Yin Yichen walking towards her, his good-looking brows furrowed, his handsome face was covered with haze, with a complicated expression that Shen Linxi couldn't distinguish for a while.
Shen Linxi couldn't help but retreat slightly, she really felt like a wife who was caught by her husband at the scene and had a tryst with her lover.
The changes in Shen Linxi's body, Shang Yuchen immediately felt it. When he saw this boy walking quickly, his eyes and body seemed to be filled with suppressed anger, so Shang Yuchen instinctively flashed a kind of hostility. He reached out and pulled Shen Linxi over, wanting to hug her tightly.
But Yin Yichen had already taken a step forward, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, he held one of Shen Linxi's hands. He stared at Shen Linxi tightly and said in a low voice, "I have something to tell you!" His voice sounded a little unsteady.
Shang Yuchen raised his hand to block Yin Yichen's arm, and said at the same time: "Please let go, you have something to say." ”
Yin Yichen didn't look at Shang Yuchen, he just still held Shen Linxi's hand, looked at her, and whispered again: "Linxi? ”
Shen Linxi's head was buzzing, and she had always been smart and witty, but her brain was wooden. Her eyes were staring at Yin Yichen, and her thoughts would not turn at all.
When Shang Yuchen saw this scene, he could also understand that Yin Yichen had never let go of his liking, but as for the extent of his relationship with Shen Linxi, Shang Yuchen was not sure for a while. But Yin Yichen did not make a move on himself, which shows that they should not have eliminated the previous obstacles now.
He won't back down again this time!
Thinking of this, Shang Yuchen stretched out his hand to push Yin Yichen away, but Yin Yichen still held Shen Linxi's hand tightly. Shen Linxi looked at the posture in front of her and felt that the two boys might fight in the next moment, so she was anxious, and subconsciously went to protect Yin Yichen and said, "Shang Yuchen, let go!" ”
When Shang Yuchen heard Shen Linxi say this, his heart couldn't help but sink. However, he saw the anxious look on Shen Linxi's face, so he still suppressed his impulse and let go of Yin Yichen's arm.
Yin Yichen still didn't look at Shang Yuchen, he just said to Shen Linxi: "Linxi, I have something to say to you!" But Shen Linxi's heart was very chaotic at this time, because she was afraid that Shang Yuchen would attack Yin Yichen uncontrollably.
The scene of the two of them fighting in the hospital before has left a deep memory in her mind.
On the other hand, Shen Linxi didn't want to step aside and talk to Yin Yichen in such a tense situation. After all, the pain in her heart that night could not be erased by Yin Yichen's words, and since he had made his choice, what else was there to say between her and him.
So, Shen Linxi quickly said to Yin Yichen: "Let's talk about it later, okay?" Shen Linxi's tone was light, even a little indifferent, and Yin Yichen couldn't help but be stunned. Looking at Shen Linxi's lowered eyes and tightly pursed lips, he felt that Shen Linxi was so estranged from him at the moment.
Yin Yichen's heart suddenly rose a chill. His gaze swept over Shang Yuchen's face, and seeing this, Yin Yichen's heart had a hint of clarity.
His back stiffened, and his hand slowly let go of Shen Linxi's hand. After being silent for a few seconds, Yin Yichen made up his mind and whispered: "You're busy, I'm fine." He didn't look at Shen Linxi again, he turned straight away, his back straightened, and walked away step by step.
Shen Linxi looked at Yin Yichen's back, and suddenly felt as if something very important was flowing from her fingers, but she was powerless to grasp it, this feeling was really bad.
She frowned, at a loss, and Shang Yuchen was already holding her shoulders with both hands, looking at her deeply, and said solemnly: "Linxi, if there is any problem, you can tell me." ”
Shen Linxi's heart was in turmoil, but he couldn't talk about it. Shang Yuchen looked at Shen Linxi, who looked lonely, and his heart was already mixed. As smart as him, how could Shang Yuchen not be able to detect the kind of affection between Shen Linxi and Yin Yichen that could only be understood.
When Shang Yuchen watched the performance that day, Yin Yichen's unique voice and affectionate interpretation hit the softest place in people's hearts at once.
On the stage, he couldn't help but hold Shen Linxi's hand and stare at her deeply. At that moment, what Shang Yuchen saw in his eyes was a tacit couple, and that feeling made Shang Yuchen's heart panic. He had to admit that girls should be attracted by such deep eyes and handsome appearance.
However, Shang Yuchen has been a boy who will not admit defeat when he does anything since he was a child. At this moment, he told himself that he must walk to Shen Linxi's side, hold hands with her, and go down together!
At that moment, Shang Yuchen pulled Shen Linxi, who looked a little blank, and rode her out of the school gate. Along the way, the shadows of the trees are swaying, the moon shadows are flying, and the sky is full of stars. Shen Linxi's heart gradually drifted away under the flickering lights and the sound of the car's horn, closer, farther away, and closer......
Shang Yuchen stopped in front of a small hill, and after putting the bicycle away, he pulled Shen Linxi and walked up slowly.
When he reached the top of the mountain, he pulled Shen Linxi in front of him and whispered in her ear: "Linxi, life is like a picture scroll, and every place has its subtlety. Life is like a scroll in a picture, and we never know what we will see in the next picture.
So, don't worry too much, just relax and enjoy it with your heart. ”
Shen Linxi looked at the street lamps in the distance, dotted with stars, connected together, and turned into one side, flickering, quiet and peaceful. Looking, watching, her heart slowly calmed down.
Shang Yuchen gently hugged Shen Linxi and smelled her faint fragrance. I really want to hold her all the time, staying at this moment, and my body and mind seem to be immersed in a new happiness.
And Yin Yichen is very bad at the moment. He walked aimlessly, and a voice kept echoing in his head, "It's not like this, it's not like this...... but it's not like this, and what is it?
He came to a railing, stretched out his hands, grasped the railing, and fell deep into his upper body. At this moment, he felt his heart tear violently.
Yin Yichen has been waiting for Shen Linxi hard, he always stubbornly thinks that Shen Linxi understands him, loves him, and is reluctant to give up on him. He always fantasizes about holding Shen Linxi tightly in his arms, her face is delicate and crimson, and he is intoxicated and infinitely in love.
He often imagined what kind of trembling and lingering compassion it would be when he gently kissed Shen Linxi's lips.
However, just now, all his illusions were shattered in an instant. The reality was so piercing to his heart, he couldn't recall that picture, the picture that didn't belong to him and Shen Linxi.
Yin Yichen thumped his chest hard, and the irreducible pain made it difficult for him to breathe. The boy's kiss on Shen Linxi's lips became a lingering pain in his heart.
Yin Yichen lay on the railing for a long, long time, so stiff that his waist was almost straight, and then he collapsed on a row of benches next to him and sat in a daze.
Shen Linxi's flower-like smile flashed in front of him again, and Yin Yichen's heart suddenly felt like a needle being pricked. He couldn't help but close his eyes, shook his head, and tried to shake something off, if it was a mistake, please give me a reason to let go.
Reason told him to forget everything, and from then on, there was no longer Shen Linxi in his life, but every time he and Shen Linxi met, the picture came like a tide, impacting his determination and pride.
It wasn't until this moment that Yin Yichen realized how Shen Linxi was already firmly imprinted in his heart.
