Chapter 4: People from far away live in my heart 03
After returning to school, I have been busy and have no contact with Ning Qiyuan anymore. It seems that our time together a few days ago was just a dream. Now the dream is over. I have lost my father and he as well.
Jiang Sijin would come to accompany me every two days, fearing that I would be depressed, but I was not the kind of fragile girl who needed comfort. After she came a few times, I forcibly sent her away and told her not to come again. But Jiang Sijin immediately ran to date Li Anran with a look of joy on her face, taking the value of love over friendship to the extreme. She was afraid that I would be stimulated, and kept persuading me that there are many better people in the world than Ning Qiyuan, such as Yan Yin who I met before. But for me, no matter how good others are, they are not the one I want.
That person already lives in my heart, and there is no room for anyone else.
But I don't know if Jiang Sijin did it on purpose. At the college student exchange meeting jointly held by the colleges and universities, I actually met Yan Yin. I was arranged by the student union to receive members from other schools, and I ran into him.
Yan Yin asked me to take him around our school. I couldn't refuse, so I took him around our school.
Yan Yin is already a first-year graduate student, so there is no need for him to attend the college student exchange meeting. After I asked him, he told me that he was not there to attend the exchange meeting.
There was something behind his words, but I didn't dare to respond. I was a little afraid that his purpose in coming here was what I thought, and I never knew how to refuse such things. I was afraid that if I said too much, it would hurt others, and if I said too little, others would not understand what I meant.
Fortunately, Yan Yin was very well-educated and didn't say much. After walking with me for a while, he said he was hungry and asked me to take him to the cafeteria for dinner because he heard that the food in our school cafeteria was famous for its delicious taste.
It wasn’t time for lunch yet, and there weren’t many people in the cafeteria. I wasn’t hungry, but it wasn’t good to let Yan Yin eat here alone, so I sat down to keep him company.
After eating for a while, Yan Yin suddenly talked about Jiang Sijin and Li Anran. He said: "Although as good friends, there are some things that should not be said, but I still want to tell you that Li Anran and your friend Jiang Sijin are not suitable. If possible, I hope you can persuade them to break up."
I didn't understand why he said that, and I was a little confused: "Why?"
"I can't tell you the reason. I can only say that if Jiang Sijin is with him, she will get hurt sooner or later."
If it weren't for the fact that Yan Yin's expression was very serious and he didn't look like a bad guy, I would have almost doubted whether his real intention was to break up Li Anran and Jiang Sijin.
Seeing that I didn't believe him, Yan Yin sighed and said, "I know you may not believe me, but you are Jiang Sijin's friend, so you definitely don't want her to get hurt, right?"
His words were really strange. I was confused. Just when I was about to continue questioning him, a familiar voice rang in my ears: "Sister Shuchen!"
I looked up and saw Lin Zhan, whom I had met at Ning's house before, standing at the entrance of the cafeteria and waving at me. When I saw the people next to him, I was stunned.
It’s Ning Qiyuan.
Because of the backlight, I couldn't see the expression on his face, but I could clearly feel his eyes fixed on me, which made me feel very uneasy.
Lin Zhan trotted towards me, panting: "Sister Shuchen, I've been looking for you for a long time."
"Are you looking for me?" I asked in surprise, and my eyes unconsciously looked at Ning Qiyuan who was walking slowly.
Lin Zhan nodded, then looked at Yan Yin with a curious look on his face: "Is he... your boyfriend?"
Yan Yin was stunned for a moment, smiled, and left, saying that he had something to do. Without waiting for me to say goodbye to him, he turned around and left.
"Lin Zhan, why are you here? Is there anything wrong?" I asked Lin Zhan.
"I want to find Jiang Sijin who came to pick you up that day. Brother Qiyuan said that if he finds you, he will find her. So Brother Qiyuan brought me to find you." Lin Zhan answered honestly, and then felt a little embarrassed and shy, "Can you tell me which school Jiang Sijin is in, and what she likes and dislikes?"
Having said that, I already understood his purpose. I didn't expect Lin Zhan to fall in love with Jiang Sijin at first sight. I sighed and said, "Lin Zhan, she already has a boyfriend." I couldn't bear to hurt his feelings, but this was the fact.
Lin Zhan was stunned for a moment and looked at me for a long time without saying a word.
Ning Qiyuan came closer, his hands casually in his trouser pockets, he looked at me intently, smiled and said, "Xiao Zhan, so what if you have a boyfriend? If you really like someone, then go and work hard for him, and don't give up until the last minute."
Lin Zhan's eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked at Ning Qiyuan with admiration in his eyes, then turned and asked me to tell him everything about Jiang Sijin.
I was a little annoyed, staring at Ning Qiyuan's face, which was even more handsome than two years ago, and said, "Ning Qiyuan, is there anyone who teaches people like you?"
"What, is it wrong?" Ning Qiyuan raised his eyebrows, his eyes were full of carelessness, but his words were full of unquestionable tone, "I finally fell in love with someone, but I have to give up just because she has someone by her side. This is a manifestation of cowardice and lack of confidence. These two words have never appeared in my dictionary."
"You are just making up stories!" I was too lazy to pay attention to Ning Qiyuan anymore and just said to Lin Zhan, "Lin Zhan, you can't force feelings, you..."
"Sister Shuchen, just tell me which school she is in." Lin Zhan interrupted me, "This is also my feeling. This is the first time I like someone, and I want to try my best."
In the end, I couldn't resist Lin Zhan's insistence and told him Jiang Sijin's school and phone number. I just hoped that Lin Zhan would give up after being rejected by Jiang Sijin.
Lin Zhan got what he wanted and left contentedly. I thought Ning Qiyuan would leave as well , but I didn't expect him to just stand there without moving.
"You're not leaving?" I asked him.
Ning Qiyuan answered the question irrelevantly: "Tong Shuchen, why do you still have the same vision?"
I immediately understood what he meant. He also thought Yan Yin was my boyfriend. However, his expression made me feel weird. I was very annoyed with him, so I said without thinking: "What's wrong with him? Is he very bad?"
"What's his family background like? What's his character like? Does he care about you? Oh, I just saw that he's not well-dressed. He didn't even come when your dad got into trouble, which shows that he's just average, let alone caring about you. Tong Shuchen, why would you choose such a person as your boyfriend?" His words were full of thorns, and his expression was cold , as if he had an unspeakable hostility towards Yan Yin. I suddenly seemed to have an illusion -
He is controlling me.
But, in what capacity does he manage me?
"Matters of the heart are like drinking the water; only you know whether it's hot or cold." I answered neither arrogantly nor humbly, without giving in, but my heart ached.
"Break up with him, you are not suitable for each other!" Ning Qiyuan said suddenly.
His eyes were so scorching that it seemed as if he could see into my heart. I couldn't help but want to retreat. I raised my foot to leave, feeling so aggrieved that I couldn't utter a word.
He already has a girlfriend, why does he still care about me like this?
But before I could take a step forward, someone grabbed my shoulders. I was forced to turn around, and then his face was infinitely enlarged in front of me. My waist was also tightly clamped. Before I could react, I felt a warmth on my lips, and my eyes widened instantly.
Ning Qiyuan bit my lips as if to punish me. I was shocked and hurt, so I pushed him away. He took a few steps back and smiled at me. I wanted to slap him desperately, but I couldn't bear to do it.
"Ning Qiyuan, you are still such a bastard!" I yelled at him through gritted teeth, not caring about the looks of the people around me, and strode away with a feeling of grievance.
And the moment I turned around, tears welled up in my eyes.
What the hell is this?
Even if Yan Yin is really my boyfriend, why would he do this?
There's obviously someone beside him...
How could he do this to me?
