Chapter 291: Protection

Xin Yi stood there without speaking.

Reason told her that she shouldn't have promised him, but when the words came to her lips, she remembered the flickering lights upstairs last night.

And Tan Jin also saw her hesitation, and directly got out of the car to help her open the door, "I'll send you."

Xin Yi finally got into the car.

As the air became closed, she could smell some messy perfume on his body and see the lipstick marks on his collar.

This reminded Xin Yi of a previous meeting between them, and it seemed that they had a similar experience - but the last time he was in his shirt was a red wine seal.

Memories that shouldn't have existed in her mind suddenly became extremely clear.

But she didn't say anything, just silently lowered the window a little and let the night breeze blow the smell away.

"Where do you park?"

Tan looked ahead and asked her.

"The intersection ahead."

Xin Yi paused, "You haven't been here?"

"Nope."

As the words fell, Tan Jin suddenly felt that something was wrong, turned his head and asked her, "Why have I been here?"

"Nothing, just ask."

Tan near narrowed his eyes.

At this time, the car also stopped at the place designated by Xinyi.

Xin Yi didn't say anything more, just turned around and got out of the car.

Tan Jin followed her.

Xin Yi looked at him.

"I'll send you up." He said.

"Actually, I ...... myself."

Before Xin Yi's words were finished, a figure suddenly jumped at his feet!

She almost screamed, and the whole person took several steps back!

- Still the wildcat.

As it stared at itself with those green eyes, Xin Yi suddenly wanted to take a stone and smash it at it!

Of course, she was just thinking about it.

After taking a deep breath, she also suppressed her emotions, "I'll just go up myself."

After saying that, Xin Yi didn't wait for him to answer, and didn't even look up at him again, only lowered his head and turned around.

Tan Jin didn't stop her.

But when Xin Yi was about to walk to the door, someone suddenly came down from upstairs.

She immediately stopped in her footsteps and looked up again.

It was a man in a black T-shirt with patterns on his arms and sunken eyes staring straight at him.

Xin Yi's hand immediately clenched the backpack on his body, and his breathing seemed to have stagnated for a few seconds.

At this moment, someone suddenly stepped forward behind her and protected her directly behind her.

The long figure was like a hard wall blocking his face, and it also blocked the man's view.

It wasn't until the man stepped out of front of them and talked about it that he turned his body to the side and looked at her.

"Is that your neighbor?"

Xin Yi pursed his lips and replied, "I don't know."

He stopped talking, and then he saw the cordon upstairs.

His brow suddenly furrowed even tighter, and he opened his lips to say something, but when the words came to his lips, they became silent again.

Xin Yi took a few more steps forward, "I've arrived."

Tan looked at the door behind her and nodded.

But his figure was motionless.

Xin Yi stood there staring at him.

Tan Jin knew what she was thinking, and only turned around silently.

Xin Yi watched his figure disappear before taking out the key.

- The first few times, before pushing the door open, she turned her head to look in the direction of the stairs.

After making sure there was no one there, she opened the door and entered.

I don't know if it's the reason for sending her back recently, but Xin Yi had a good rest that night.

When I was going to class the next day, I found that I had an extra pair of leather shoes at the door - it was last night

The pair that is worn on the feet.

For the next few days, the shoes at the entrance of Xinyi were changed almost every day.

And soon the landlady brought her news - the culprit had been caught.

After that day, the shoes at the door of Xinyi never changed again.

Also on the same day, Xin Yi learned from the domestic news that he had returned to China.

This brief reunion was like a small stone sinking to the bottom of the lake, and after stirring up the slightest ripple, it quickly returned to peace.

Xin Yi's life has returned to peace, and his work has become smoother and smoother.

Soon after, there was a temporary vacancy for manuscripts in the newspaper, and Xin Yi's photos were selected and he received a small manuscript fee.

On the day she got the manuscript fee, she went to Zhou Wei's city, and the two had a meal together.

At night, the two slept together in Zhou Wei's apartment.

While lying on the bed, Zhou Wei suddenly asked her, "Seriously, have you really let go of your feelings for Tanjin?"

Xin Yi paused, and then hummed again.

Zhou Wei turned his head, looked at her, and then asked, "What were you thinking when you decided to give up on him?"

What do you think?

Xin Yi had forgotten.

Will it be painful and sad?

The answer, of course, is yes.

After all, she has liked him for so long, and has even put him in a higher position than herself, and has taken loving him as her instinct.

So when she gave up, it was as if she had broken a part of her body.

To this day, the wound doesn't seem to have healed, and every time I think about it, it still hurts faintly.

Probably seeing Xin Yi's emotions, Zhou Wei quickly asked again, "Do you regret it?"

"No, it won't."

This time, Xin Yi answered very decisively, and even said that he did not hesitate.

Zhou Wei raised his eyebrows.

Xin Yi turned to look at the ceiling and said, "I was with him in pursuit of happiness."

"And then I gave up on him, and it was the same."

Xin Yi took the next day's train back to his accommodation.

Her class was in the afternoon, so now she still has time to have lunch.

Just when Xin Yi walked downstairs, he met the landlady.

The other party greeted him warmly, and Xin Yi smiled at her.

But soon, the landlady remembered something, "If you have one more person in your house, you have to report it to me."

"One more person?"

"yes, don't you have a boyfriend?"

Xin Yi frowned.

The landlady looked at her like that and immediately became vigilant, "Isn't that person your boyfriend?" Last night a man came here and said it was your boyfriend, and asked me where you were."

Xin Yi pursed his lips, found the photo of Tan Jin's on his phone, and handed it to the landlord, "Is that him?"

"yes, it's your boyfriend, right?"

"It's not." Xin Yi replied, but he didn't want to make a fuss, so he could only say, "But I know him, so I'm sorry for you."

"That's good." The landlord breathed a sigh of relief, "If he moves in, you'll have to tell me."

"Got it."

After Xin Yi replied casually, he returned to the house.

It was getting dark quickly.

Xin Yi finished class and was cooking noodles in the house when he suddenly heard a slight sound outside the house.

She first beat it, and then let it out.

- Tan was bending down, ready to change his shoes at the door.

But when Xin Yi opened the door, his movements suddenly stopped.
