Home/ We’re All Especially Sympathizing With That Man/ Chapter 19
Yuan Zhan smiled at Qi Youchi just out of politeness, but the nervousness flashed in Yan Jingxi’s eyes was quite interesting.
Today, Qi Youchi was still driven away by Yan Jingxi’s cold face, and he said goodbye to Yuan Zhan, but unfortunately he didn’t get any contact information such as mobile number or any social media information.
Maybe fate will bring us together next time.
Only Yuan Zhan with milk tea on his bent knees and Yan Jingxi with a cup of cheap coffee remained there.
Only when you drink cheap coffee do you know how good expensive coffee is for every penny you pay.
As the time passed, the number of people at the beach decreased. The children were led away by their parents, and the couples left together.
After Qi Youchi left, neither Yuan Zhan nor Yan Jingxi spoke, both of them staring at the undulating sea, each with their own thoughts.
Yuan Zhan didn’t want to continue blowing the sea breeze at the beach, so he got up and patted the fine sand on his buttocks with the back of his hand, saying: “I’m going back.”
Just now when he sat down, he took off his slippers. Now the soles were covered with fine sand, making it uncomfortable to walk with his feet in, so he simply kicked off the slippers and gave Yan Jingxi a look that says “carry the shoes”.
“Yuan Zhan, that’s enough of you.” Yan Jingxi began to get angry.
Yuan Zhan raised his palms and said: “One day if your hands get injured, I will help you carry your shoes.”
Yan Jingxi kicked the sand at his feet, and with one sentence, he really lost all the temper in his heart.
Seeing Yuan Zhan walking away, Yan Jingxi resigned to his fate, picked up Yuan Zhan’s slippers, and quickly followed.
Over the past few days, Yan Jingxi didn’t notice that he saw Yuan Zhan’s back more and more times, and the impression engraved in his mind became clearer.
After catching up with Yuan Zhan, Yan Jingxi asked him: “Do you know that man just now?”
Yuan Zhan gave him a sideways glance, and said with a smile, “I didn’t know him before, but now I do.”
Yan Jingxi froze: “What do you mean?”
Yuan Zhan said: “It means we have left contact information with each other, and we will be friends in the future.”
Yan Jingxi: “What kind of friend he can be, don’t you see he has ulterior motives.”
Yuan Zhan looked at him quietly for two seconds and said: “Back then, you didn’t like me and married me with ulterior motives. President Yan, you don’t have the right to judge others”
Yan Jingxi who was speechless: “…”
Yuan Zhan turned his head and smiled bitterly: “Of course, it was also my own choice so I can’t really blame you.”
Yan Jingxi was speechless, and Yuan Zhan was too self-conscious now, and he no longer has any expectations to get the so-called “like” and “love” from him.
A conversation that ended in silence. No one knows whose heart was broken tonight, or whose heart was stirred up.
Night fell.
The first thing Yuan Zhan wanted to do was to take a shower when he returned to the hotel with his bare feet covered in sand.
His palms were scabbed, and he couldn’t do much, so he asked Yan Jingxi to find two waterproof gloves for him, and went into the bathroom to take a shower. As long as he paid a little attention, there won’t be any problem.
Yan Jingxi breathed a sigh of relief, but on the other end Yuan Zhan was thinking how could he let Yan Jingxi keep getting the benefits.
Last night, the two of them slept in the same room. Yan Jingxi got up early, but Yuan Zhan pretended not to know and didn’t mention it.
Tonight, Yan Jingxi was more careful before going to bed. In order to avoid sleeping in the same room as Yuan Zhan, he reminded Yuan Zhan of the room he was sleeping in, and carefully closed the door before going to bed.
Yan Jingxi’s excessive reaction to Yuan Zhan was actually quite thoughtful. In fact, if he never thought of avoiding Yuan Zhan, it would prove that his efforts in the past two days have been completely wasted. But now, there will be more drama.
A night without dreams.
Sleep until you wake up naturally.
When Yuan Zhan woke up, he didn’t see Yan Jingxi. Instead, he heard the waiter ring the doorbell, and saw the other party bringing the laundry for dry cleaning. Yuan Zhan asked the waiter to put it aside and wait for Yan Jingxi to come back.
Yuan Zhan woke up too late and the breakfast was already cold but he didn’t care. He ate a deep-fried dough stick and drank a cup of soy milk to fill his stomach for the time being.
Yan Jingxi’s meeting should be held till noon at least. It’s still early, so he has to spend this time alone until the other party comes back.
As he was thinking about whether to buy something nearby as a souvenir before leaving, the doorbell rang, but this time it was not the waiter with dark skin, but two beautiful faces.
One was Peng Cheng, and the other was Peng Cheng’s cousin, Peng Liya. He saw him holding two large bags of things in his hand.
If you have nothing to offer, it’s either dishonesty or theft.
Yuan Zhan invited them in with a gentle attitude: “Are you here to see us off?”
Peng Cheng quickly placed two large bags of specialty products and said: “That’s right, my cousin is too busy to come to my house for dinner. My mother bought a lot of special products for you to take back to Beijing, many types of seafood cannot be bought in Beijing.”
Yuan Zhan: “Today is Monday, don’t you have class at this time.”
Peng Cheng blinked and said, “There is no class in the morning.”
Yuan Zhan knew that he was lying, but he didn’t expose it. He turned to Peng Liya, who had been silent all this time, and said, “Miss Peng doesn’t have to go to work, either?” What she was carrying was not a bag of special products, but a suitcase for some reason.
Peng Liya pointed to her suitcase: “I am going to Beijing to drink my good friend’s wedding wine. I told Mr. Yan in the morning, and I will be on the same flight as you.”
Yuan Zhan thought to himself that this scheming Ms. Peng had done a lot of things that he didn’t know about.
Drinking a good friend’s wedding wine is indeed a very good excuse, while having ulterior motives.
Normal people would just book a flight and leave but she deliberately ran here to follow them and set off together. Peng Liya might have discovered something. If Yuan Zhan is not mistaken, Peng Cheng must have already told her about the video of Bai Yueguang being courted. Peng Liya is smart and believes that she has already discovered the clue.
But none of this matters. After arriving in Beijing, she will understand how narrow and difficult the road leading to Yan Jingxi’s heart is. In front of her, there was also an insurmountable mountain – the White Moonlight. If they were to face each other, it would be like “dry firewood and scorching fire”. So, should he fan the flames between them?
Yuan Zhan sympathized with Miss Peng, who didn’t hit the south wall and didn’t turn back, and wished her a pleasant trip to Beijing.
Yuan Zhan made an expression of sudden realization: “I see, it is our honor to be able to travel with Ms. Peng.”
Peng Liya responded politely: “I’m the one who is bothering you.”
Peng Cheng said: “Sister, please don’t be so polite, I’m getting goosebumps all over listening to you.”
Yuan Zhan said with a smile: “Miss Peng is two years older than me, can I call you Sister Liya?”
Peng Liya’s heart is probably twisted now, but she still maintained her ladylike demeanor in front of Peng Cheng.
“Of course, you can.” Peng Liya responded with a half-smile.
Peng Liya didn’t want to continue the topic of age. She put down her expensive bag and walked around the room, only to see clothes draped on the sofa that hadn’t been folded up.
“Haven’t you packed your luggage yet?” Peng Liya became excited when she saw the clothes that didn’t belong to Yuan Zhan’s size, “I happen to be good at this, I can help you pack your luggage, after all, your hands are not convenient.”
“It’s okay, Jingxi will come back and tidy up after the meeting.” Yuan Zhan said in a delicate voice, as he raised his palm.
“Oh, is that right?” Peng Liya inexplicably became a little excited when she heard that she would see Yan Jingxi later, and insisted on packing their luggage, even Yuan Zhan couldn’t stop her.
Peng Liya actually just wanted to touch Yan Jingxi’s clothes, but the clothes of the two of them were hung together, and it was easy to tell which one belonged to Yan Jingxi, so she simply stacked them together, as for the underwear, as an unmarried woman, she was still a bit reserved, so she left these for Yan Jingxi to come and pack.
There were outsiders present, and it didn’t look good to have a few pairs of underwear and socks lying on the sofa, so Yuan Zhan stuffed it all into a suitcase, and asked Peng Cheng to close it.
Peng Liya felt a bit embarrassed because of her enthusiasm just now, as she realized that Yuan Zhan and Yan Jingxi’s clothes were mixed together, including their private clothes.
Peng Cheng didn’t notice his cousin’s embarrassment, but instead took out a can of orange juice from the refrigerator and poured it into his throat, feeling really thirsty.
“Brother Yuan, sister, what do you want to drink, I’ll get it for you.”
“No need.” Peng Liya was still calm.
“Help me take out the freshly squeezed watermelon juice from the refrigerator.” Yuan Zhan was not polite to Peng Cheng.
And for Peng Liya, who insisted on rushing to pack their luggage, Yuan Zhan was very speechless. The so-called lady’s reserve was thrown away when she saw the man’s clothes. Wouldn’t she want to go to heaven if she saw the real person?
Before Yuan Zhan could figure out whether Peng Liya would go to heaven when she saw Yan Jingxi, Yan Jingxi swiped his card and entered the room.
Seeing the two extra people, including a lady, he nodded at them politely and turned his head to see Yuan Zhan drinking watermelon juice. He seems to be lost in thought and didn’t even notice his return.
“Ah, Yan, Brother Jingxi.” Peng Liya was so nervous that she was a little incoherent.
Yan Jingxi’s face was indifferent: “I came here so early to have lunch together.” He turned to Peng Cheng, “Peng Cheng, don’t you have to go to class?”
Peng Cheng rolled his eyes: “Brother, why are you asking the same question as Brother Yuan, I don’t have class in the morning.”
Yan Jingxi raised his hand and said to him: “Lying.”
Peng Cheng hurriedly shrunk his neck to avoid being beaten, and then told the truth: “Hey, it’s my mother, your aunt, who desperately asked me to bring two big bags of seafood for you to take back, and she specially approved that I can skip class today.”
Yan Jingxi: “When I go back, I must talk to my aunt about you.”
“Auntie just dotes on Xiao Cheng.” Peng Liya tried to talk to Yan Jingxi at.
But Yan Jingxi didn’t pick up her words, and was a little surprised when he saw the suitcases placed in the living room. He thought Yuan Zhan had packed them up: “Is it all packed?”
“It was sister Liya who helped me pack it up, I was only responsible for tidying up small items.” Yuan Zhan said while biting the straw.
Yan Jingxi couldn’t help but glance at Peng Liya, then at Yuan Zhan: “why did you ask others to help, I would have enough time to tidy up when I come back.”
Yuan Zhan praised without sincerity: “Sister Liya is very kind, and she rushed to help me tidy up.”
One by one, Peng Liya’s delicate and virtuous appearance in front of Yan Jingxi almost collapsed.
Yan Jingxi has seen the state of Yuan Zhan’s box, and he does not believe that a temporarily disabled person can tidy up small items in a proper manner.
As soon as he opened the box, sure enough, the clothes underneath were folded in a proper way, but the underwear, ties, and socks were thrown around randomly on the top. They were simply packed in two different ways.
As a hard working man with a little bit of cleanliness and obsessive-compulsive disorder, Yan Jingxi took the box back into the room and reorganized the small items.
Angry? No, he is willing.
It was the first time that Peng Liya got so close to Yan Jingxi, and she was not sure about his temper, so she asked Peng Cheng in a low voice, “Is he angry because I packed the luggage?”
Peng Cheng shook his head blankly, he really didn’t know.
Instead, Yuan Zhan suddenly remembered something, and said with a voice that the three of them could hear: “Oh, I remembered, Jingxi is a bit of a clean freak, and doesn’t like others touching his things.”
When Peng Liya heard this, she almost bit her porcelain white teeth thinking, ‘why didn’t you say that before’!
