Chapter 42 - stone path
42
Ye Liuying has always lived very awake.
She knows what she wants and what she doesn’t want.
The current Shen Xingzhou is somewhere between what she wants and what she doesn’t want, making her a little embarrassed.
Emotional matters are about the right timing.
Leaving aside other things, the timing of Shen Xingzhou’s appearance was indeed just right.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t change her attitude towards him again and again.
The warm light above the table dazzled him.
He sat next to her intimately, looking at her with his head slightly sideways, with a pair of passionate peach blossom eyes with deep concern and helplessness.
Ye Liuying was stunned when she saw it, and suddenly stretched out her hand to cover Shen Xingzhou’s eyes.
Shen Xingzhou, who lost his sight, was not annoyed.
The corners of his mouth are raised, and the thin lips with beautiful lips are very suitable for kissing.
“What’s wrong?” Shen Xingzhou felt the touch of her palm, and his tone was rarely gentle.
“You… do you do this to everyone?” She couldn’t see his eyes, and spoke her heart softly.
Like a sigh, like a compromise.
Shen Xingzhou tilted his head hesitantly, “What did you say?”
“Nothing.” Ye Liuying retracted her hand in time.
She returned to her usual defensive and indifferent look, as if the intimacy just now was just his illusion.
Shen Xingzhou became angry when he saw Ye Liuying’s appearance.
He took a deep breath, and finally heaved out angrily, “Forget it.”
Ye Liuying raised her eyebrows after hearing this, and lowered her head unnaturally to take a sip of milk tea.
“Let’s talk.” Shen Xingzhou’s hand rested on the table and tapped on the table boredly, “Who sees you want to touch you this time?”
“Wang Nalan.” Ye Liuying announced her name slowly.
She hadn’t seen Wang Nalan for a while, and sent her a text message in high spirits.
[Guguang: Sister, are you okay? I suddenly have something I might have to go first]
Wang Nalan is 24 years old this year.
Thinking about it, she was bigger than Ye Liuying anyway.
She deliberately called her sister, and she actually responded.
[nana: ok]
[nana: I met an acquaintance and delayed it, then sister, go ahead and see you tomorrow~]
Seeing her like this, she must think that her plan was a success, right?
This guy is really…
Even if Ye Liuying didn’t understand what Wang Nalan wanted to do, she didn’t need to ask.
“So you all know?” Shen Xingzhou curled his fingers, frowning at Ye Liuying’s movements.
He wasn’t interested in what Lan was doing, just seeing Ye Liuying’s determined attitude, he felt a little bit of a pain in the ass.
I really want to shake her head to see if some water can come out of it.
“I don’t know why she asked me out.” Ye Liuying shook her head and looked straight at Shen Xingzhou, “Looks like you should know.”
“Then you should owe me again.”
Shen Xingzhou recalled what happened just now, and deliberately patted Ye Liuying’s hair with a cold face.
The one he just bumped into was someone similar to Lin Weijie.
A bit of an unspeakable sexual fetish, private life is chaotic, men and women are not taboo, and they like to look good.
According to Ye Liuying’s appearance, it would be good to be seen by others.
Genting is so formal on the surface, if something really happens, the host is not willing to meddle in such nosy things.
It’s not all because they are afraid of their members, but a large part of the people who come here have their own thoughts.
Shen Xingzhou knew that Ye Liuying was different from others, but how could others know?
The thought of such a possibility made him unable to control the restlessness in his heart.
“Okay.” Don’t worry if you have more debts.
Ye Liuying found that it is not unreasonable to be petted and spoiled.
Even she unknowingly relied on Shen Xingzhou’s indulgence to her, and became fearless.
This is not a good sign.
Ye Liuying’s wrinkled face brought Shen Xingzhou back to his senses.
He leaned back in the chair, his eyes fell on her face inadvertently, “I think you are less and less afraid of me.”
“wrong.”
“You were never afraid of me.”
She has distinct likes and dislikes. When she hates him, she can say anything excessive. Where is the fear?
Shen Xingzhou spent a lot of time on Ye Liuying, and now he can guess her thoughts to some extent.
For a time, his mood was also a little complicated.
How did he become like this?
“I’m going back.”
Ye Liuying couldn’t listen to Shen Xingzhou’s words, she pushed away the milk tea on the table and left with the script.
Shen Xingzhou didn’t stop her.
“I’ll send you off.” He looked down at the time displayed on his watch and got up to send her off.
It’s not too far from the cafe to Ye Liuying’s room.
If she walks alone, it will probably take no more than ten minutes.
Now there is one more Shen Xingzhou, as if the progress bar has been stretched.
He walked beside her, turning his head to look at her from time to time, with a subtle expression, but he didn’t say a word.
Ye Liuying looked at it, and was made very uncomfortable by him.
The elevator door rang, and Shen Xingzhou took a seat and followed behind Ye Liuying.
“If you have something to say, say it directly.” Ye Liuying said with lowered eyelashes.
Shen Xingzhou took off his suit jacket and casually held it in his hand.
Hearing her opening, he raised his eyebrows and looked over, and said innocently, “I don’t have anything to say?”
“…” Ye Liuying was choked to death.
She thought that she was probably following Shen Xingzhou’s way, or else why was he always messed up by him over and over again.
Shen Xingzhou did not have such a consciousness.
It’s rare to see her shriveled.
He gave a low laugh, looking at her even more unscrupulously.
Ye Liuying was suffocating in her heart, so she didn’t want to pay attention to Shen Xingzhou.
As soon as the elevator door opened, she walked out quickly, and the slender figure quickly disappeared around the corner.
“Cute ghost.”
Shen Xingzhou put his hand to his lips and smiled, and followed with his long legs.
Wall lamps in the hallway light the way forward.
The light is not bright, but it suits the atmosphere of the moment.
On this floor are the actors of the drama crew and the middle-level staff of Genting.
Even if the top sets with different themes upstairs are a little ordinary, they are much better than the standard rooms of ordinary hotels.
She should be very comfortable here.
Shen Xingzhou looked at Ye Liuying’s straight back and felt inexplicably that she didn’t belong here.
Ye Liuying took out the room card from her pocket and opened the door.
She didn’t intend to invite Shen Xingzhou to sit in, she pushed the door open and wanted to close the door with her backhand.
The person behind him quickly grabbed Ye Liuying’s wrist.
Ye Liuying turned her head and met Shen Xingzhou’s bright eyes.
“A Ying.” He called her name, softly like a whisper in a lover’s world.
“You think about me.” Shen Xingzhou looked down at her, his eyelashes trembling slightly.
His hoarse voice scratched at her palm like a feather, “Can you do that?”
Ye Liuying did not answer.
As if burned by his hot eyes, she withdrew her hand and slammed the door.
The cool breeze brought by the door swayed Shen Xingzhou’s forehead.
He closed his eyes, but instead of the usual annoyance, there was a certain light of conviction.
“Good night.” Shen Xingzhou muttered to himself while looking at the closed wooden door.
The days that followed were no different.
Ye Liuying was still busy in the rehearsal of the drama, but Wang Nalan didn’t dare to say anything more to her.
So Liu Hua was very curious about what happened that night.
During the lunch break, Ye Liuying and Liu Hua roamed the garden at a leisurely pace.
Genting’s gardens gather a variety of rare plants.
There are special people who take care of them every day, and this kind of beauty is seen all year round.
The golden sunlight poured down, the breeze came slowly, and the sound of birds flapping their wings could be vaguely heard.
“You and Shen Xingzhou know each other?”
Ye Liuying did not expect that Liu Hua would ask her this question first.
She turned to look at Liu Hua and admitted indirectly, “It seems that you really know each other.”
“Forget it.” Liu Hua remembered Shen Xingzhou’s advice, and did not mention the relationship between Shen Xingzhou and Gu Fan, “I happened to be with him that day.”
It should be more than just knowing.
Ye Liuying nodded thoughtfully, and heard Liu Hua take the initiative to say: “I don’t want to say good things for him, but I have never seen him so nervous.”
If it hadn’t happened that he was temporarily stumbled by something, he would have wanted to join in the fun with the past.
“How long have you known each other?” Ye Liuying thought for a while and asked without answering.
She believed in Liu Hua’s character, there was no need for him to lie to herself.
“Almost four or five years.”
But Liu Hua knew about Shen Xingzhou earlier.
At that time, Liu Hua was still in Tongcheng, and the Liu family had not completely fallen.
“It’s been a long time to talk about, but in fact, we don’t necessarily see each other once a year.”
Liu Hua hadn’t recalled the past for a long time, and he couldn’t help but feel a little stunned when he mentioned it at first, “You guys should have known each other for a while, right? Don’t look at his usual appearance, it’s actually not difficult to get along with in private.”
“…more than a month.” Ye Liuying replied softly.
I don’t know if it’s difficult to get along with, but in short, it’s hard to deal with.
“That’s really hard for you.” Liu Hua seemed to feel something, and patted her shoulder sympathetically.
Ye Liuying: ? ? ?
Before she could express her thoughts, the phone in her pocket vibrated with a “buzz”.
An unfamiliar number from Jiangcheng.
I seem to have seen it once.
Ye Liuying later remembered that this was from the distant relative who took in Chen Mei.
Her face changed and changed, and she slowly pressed the answer button.
Liu Hua had never seen her look like a great enemy.
He took a few steps away. Although it was hard to hear people’s phone calls, he was in awe.
“Miss Ye?” The middle-aged woman’s uncertain voice came through the receiver.
“I’m.”
Ye Liuying responded in a deep voice.
Today, her right eyelid twitched so badly that she was probably waiting for this time.
You don’t have to think about it to know what’s wrong with Chen Mei.
She made it clear her relationship with Chen Mei early in the morning, but in the eyes of outsiders, the two of them were inseparable.
“Your grandma was hospitalized with a diabetes attack, come and see her!”
The other party said anxiously, “She’s been in a very bad state these days, and she’s rambling. Who knew she was actually sick? We can’t control her…Miss Ye?”
Chen Mei is in the hospital?
Ye Liuying knew about Chen Mei’s medical history. No matter how bad Ye Zhicheng was, he always did a good job of saving face.
Chen Mei is the only son like Ye Zhicheng, who is often praised as a dutiful son…
Now that something has happened to the Ye family, Chen Mei will naturally not be able to live as delicately as before.
With her temperament, it is probably unacceptable.
Unexpected, reasonable.
Ye Liuying held the phone and heard her own voice clearly—
“Which hospital?”
