Chapter 1361: Red and White Roses (17)
When the two of them stayed in the corner and ate about the same, Lin Yin was led down from upstairs by her adoptive father, wearing a pure white princess dress with a crystal crown on her head, looking like a dream, like a noble and elegant princess.
All the guests present applauded, once again witnessing the Lin family's love for her.
Under the watchful eye, Lin Yin blushed, feeling that she had become the happiest person in the world at this moment.
The adoptive father routinely thanked the guests and then encouraged her to find her dance partner, which of course she did.
Lin Yin reflexively went to find Zhou Yuan's trace, he had promised her before that he would definitely come to the birthday party, and she also thought that her opening dance was to dance with him.
However, she didn't know that Zhou Yuan was beaten by Ye Jin yesterday with a blue nose and swollen face, and it would definitely not be better if it wasn't for four or five days.
Therefore, she searched around, but she didn't find Zhou Yuan's shadow.
She was anxious, but her face didn't show it at all, so she had to settle for other dance partners.
Soon she saw Ye Jin in the corner, he was sitting next to Wen Cha, looking down and talking to Wen Cha, with a faint smile on his face.
Lin Yin thought of Zhou Yuan, who released her pigeons, and a strong jealousy rose in her heart, wanting to break the harmony between them, so she raised her feet and walked towards him.
"My music teacher told me that I could be an art student, and after thinking about it, I still like music, so I wanted to give it a try."
"Where do you want to take the test?"
"Over there in the capital," Wen Cha dug a mouthful of ice cream and stuffed it into his mouth, "There seem to be more opportunities over there." ”
"I see." Ye Jin took off the ice cream in her hand and stuffed a strawberry in her mouth, "I'll give you a lecture that summer, and you can make up the previous content." ”
"Okay," Wen Cha swallowed the strawberry in one gulp, "then I don't work during the day during the summer vacation, and I just work part-time at night." ”
"Hmm."
The two got together and talked non-stop, not noticing Lin Yin's approach at all, until Lin Yin stopped in front of Ye Jin and said, "Can I ask you to dance?"
She opened her mouth wide, looked at Lin Yin and then at Ye Jin, and couldn't understand why Lin Yin would ask Ye Jin to dance?
Doesn't she like Zhou Yuan?
Even if Zhou Yuan didn't come, she should go to find an acquaintance, what's the matter with Ye Jin?
Ye Jin was not surprised, and his eyes didn't even change, "I'm sorry, I refuse." ”
Lin Yin's smile froze, she didn't expect Ye Jin to be so faceless.
Seeing more and more eyes around her, Lin Yin's face turned a little pale, this time it was not because of jealousy, it was purely because she was worried that she would lose face, and her adoptive parents would definitely be unhappy at that time, so they would be angry with her.
She lowered her voice and reminded, "Classmate Ye, today is my birthday."
Ye Jin looked at her expressionlessly, "If I were you, I would choose a new dance partner." ”
Lin Yin clenched her fists, and the humiliation she had never felt before flooded her heart.
Ye Jin's indifference made her feel that she was still the little girl who was bullied in the orphanage, bullied by others, and had no power to resist.
She gritted her teeth, didn't dare to look at the burning eyes behind her, and turned her gaze to Wen Cha and said, "You help me persuade classmate Ye."
Wen Cha was going to be amused by her.
If she is the original owner, she will definitely help her out of the siege at this time, but she is not the original owner, so she will not do thankless things.
What's more, Lin Yin made up all of this to find herself, could it be that just because she couldn't get off the stage, she had to force Ye Jin? There is no such thing.
"Happy birthday." Wen Cha took out the gift from her bag and handed it to her, "This is what I gave to you with Ye Jin, take it." ”
Lin Yin looked at the gift handed over, and wanted to throw it on Wen Cha's face, but she didn't, she took the gift with a smile on her face, and made a fake look of sisterhood, making everyone mistakenly think that she came over to greet her classmates, and she would only feel that she valued her feelings.
This is a step that Wen Cha gave her, and if she is smart enough, she should go down the steps and find a new dance partner.
Lin Yin was obviously not stupid, she took a deep breath, glanced at Ye Jin deeply, and turned to leave without looking back.
Wen Cha stood in place and watched her back, knowing that Lin Yin was resentful of herself.
If she followed Lin Yin's idea and asked Ye Jin to stand up and invite her to dance, Lin Yin might be happy.
But on what basis?
The more Wen Cha gets along with her, the more she feels that she has a psychological problem, and the original owner can wear a high-powered filter to be friends with her, that is, the original owner is simple-minded and can bear it, but she can't.
Lin Yin is here with her, and she doesn't have any privileges.
Lin Yin finally found a boy she knew to dance the opening dance, and the smile on her face was still bright, but it was not up to the bottom of her eyes.
Wencha was not in a good mood.
After Lin Yin finished dancing, she went to the side and waited to cut the cake, and she had no intention of coming over to talk at all.
After she finished cutting the cake, Wen Cha went over and said to her, planning to take Ye Jin back.
Lin Yin stopped her, "You wait a while, I have something to tell you." ”
"If there's anything to say tomorrow, it's getting late."
"I want to say it now." Lin Yin took her to the garden, turned around, her eyes were very red, "You just now, why did you do that to me?" ”
Wen Cha was stunned for a moment, "What's wrong with me?" ”
Lin Yin sneered: "I asked Ye Jin to dance, why didn't you help me?" Do you have to look at me to be embarrassed to be satisfied? ”
Wen Cha was simply wronged, "I didn't help you because Ye Jin rejected you, and there was no other meaning." ”
"Enough!" Lin Yin interrupted her, "Are you in love with him, afraid that I will rob you?" ”
Wen Cha was directly smashed by this sentence, "What nonsense are you talking about?" You asked Ye Jin to dance, what does it have to do with me liking him? ”
"Still quibbling!" Lin Yin's whole person seemed to be in the extreme, and her emotions were a little out of control, "You are obviously jealous of me, otherwise why don't you help me?" ”
Wen Cha was frightened by her nonsense, "Why do you think I'll help you?" ”
Lin Yin's face changed, a complex undercurrent flashed in his eyes, and he immediately recovered his previous anger, and said confidently: "Aren't you my friend?" Who do my friends help me if they don't help? ”
Wen Cha took a deep breath, "I treat you as a friend, do you treat me as a friend?" ”
As soon as these words came out, there was a dead silence between the two, and only the music in the banquet hall was faintly heard.
Lin Yin took a step back, looked at Wen Cha's eyes, as if she had been burned, and hurriedly skimmed her head.
She didn't dare to look directly at Wen Cha.
Wen Cha didn't know what she was thinking, but the depression in her heart dissipated a lot.
"We've been friends since we were very young, and I've always considered you the most important person in my life, and I thought you were the same."
Wen Cha laughed to herself, "Until today, I didn't know, maybe, I was the only one who thought so." ”
After saying this, she didn't look at Lin Yin again, turned around and walked towards the road she came from.
Lin Yin stood in place, didn't come back to her senses for a long time, and when she returned to the banquet hall, Wen Cha had already left.
She opened the beautifully packaged gift box, and there was a beautiful silver bracelet lying inside, although the design was beautiful, but it was too cheap for her now.
Yes, cheap.
She is no longer the girl who lived in humility and poverty in the past, she is now a princess, a daughter, and although she is an adopted daughter, she is pampered.
This kind of thing is no longer worthy of her identity.
She closed the box, threw the silver bracelet into the trash, lifted her foot, and stepped up the stairs step by step, the pure white skirt laid out in a curve behind her.
She walked to the top of the stairs, and somehow suddenly stopped again, ran briskly downward, walked to the trash can, reached out and picked out the bracelet from it, and squatted on the ground with it in her arms, and began to cry bitterly.
She clearly felt that she had lost something, but she didn't dare to ask for it.
The girl who was obedient to her was lost by her at some point.
She thought she was just insignificant and not worth mentioning, but at this moment, she seemed to have lost the most important thing in her life.
Did you get it back? She asked herself.
But a long time ago, she could no longer seek answers.
Out of the Lin family's villa, Wen Cha sat in the taxi with a gloomy face, Ye Jin looked at her silently, raised his hand to touch her shoulder, but saw her tears in a blink of an eye.
He withdrew his hand, changed a tissue and handed it to her, Wen Cha took the tissue and blew his nose, tears falling out of his eyes.
Ye Jin hesitated for a moment, then raised his hand and put his arm around her shoulder.
Wen Cha pushed him away, "It's all because of you!" If it weren't for you, Lin Yin wouldn't be angry with me, and she wouldn't have lost her temper with me! ”
Ye Jin made a move, Wen Cha opened the car door, and walked out without looking back.
Ye Jin was afraid that she would have an accident, so he gave the money, and chased after her quickly, and saw her squatting on the lawn in the community motionless, like a shrunken little hedgehog, only daring to show her tiredness in the night.
He walked over softly and heard her sniff.
He didn't speak, he didn't crouch down to comfort her, he just stayed by her side quietly, waiting for her to get better.
Hedgehogs heal themselves, and if anyone hugs her, she will be afraid that she will hurt them.
So she doesn't hug people easily.
Wen Cha cried for a long time, and when he stopped, it was dark and he couldn't see clearly.
The miserable white light of the street lamps lit up the night, but it couldn't erase the gloom in her heart.
She was sneezing vigorously and burping in her mouth, looking very pitiful.
Ye Jin couldn't hold back any longer, walked up to her and squatted down, took out a tissue to cover her face, wiped away her tears, and began to sort out her snot again.
Wen Cha looked at him with teary eyes, "Why are you so good to me?" ”
Ye Jin paused for a moment and didn't answer, only quietly cleaned her face.
Wen Cha didn't care about his answer, she looked up for the stars in the sky, and hiccuped as she searched, "You are good to me, I know, but before you, Lin Yin was also very good to me." ”
Speaking of this, she laughed, but her eyes seemed to be raining, "Although she has changed now, she is also really good to me, but some people will never return to the way they used to be when they grow up, I don't complain in my heart, I just feel that I can't keep up with her." ”
"There's no way, keep her."
