Then, many, many images flashed through her mind, sweet and warm things that tormented her to the point of heartache.
She could barely catch her breath, her hands and feet were a little cold. Fei Bai, I can't be a hindrance to you, you know, that's not allowed.
He turned around, sighed, and gently lifted her down from the platform, pulling her into his arms. His face was naked in the autumn night, and he spoke softly, with a faint glimmer of tears in his eyes.
Wen Heng, I will throw you onto the overpass sooner or later and never look at you again. That day will come.
When she first arrived in H City, she always got lost. When she called a public phone, Gu Feibai would say, "Stand on the overpass and don't move, okay? Overpass."
Oh, the overpass.
Then, she lay on the overpass and waited patiently for him to arrive.
At that moment, he held an umbrella, looked at her for the first time, and laughed. How could she be so different from what he had imagined?
What kind of person was Wen Heng in his imagination?
Ah Heng recalled the past, but felt embarrassed and smiled with her head down.
She said, "Gu Feibai, you are threatening me."
Gu Feibai said, "I've threatened you countless times, reminding you of our first meeting, but you still haven't changed."
Ah Heng cough, Xiao Bai, Xiao Bai, is it really not when you were still a novice?
Gu Feibai tightened his embrace, his tone softening slightly.
It really isn't.
*************************Divider*******************************
Xin Dayi said, "Damn it, I don't want to go out in winter, it's freezing!"
Mary was speechless. It's only mid-November, can you please stop being so exaggerated and already wearing a down jacket?
Xin Dayi sniffed and pointed with her chin at Yan hope, who was walking with her head down not far away. "Why don't you say 'beauty'? Look at that outfit, tsk tsk, sweater, thermal underwear, scarf, hat, anyone who didn't know better would think she was a member of an Antarctic expedition team."
Yan hope turned his head, holding a cup of hot coffee in his hand, and scoffed, "Your wife is just worried about you, afraid you'll die of heat. What does that have to do with me?"
Auntie, you mean shredded pork? He's my enemy, and besides, he's a transvestite, how did he become my wife?
Rousi was furious. "Even if you turned into a woman, I still wouldn't be interested in you, let alone a man like you."
The word "male" was emphasized tightly.
Damn it, you're always picking on me! What did I say? It's so ridiculous.
Chen Wan smiled with her head down.
Xin Dayi's face darkened. "Yan hope, who is this child? I've never seen him before."
He had met Chen Wan at the press conference, but he was disgusted and annoyed by the infighting among these brothers, so he deliberately made a sarcastic remark to embarrass Yan hope.
Yan hope didn't react much, and calmly said, "Oh, Chen Wan, this is my brother Xin Dayi, and this is my sister-in-law Rosemary, she's from America, and she shares your surname."
Mary's face turned green again.
Hello, I'm Chen Wan.
Chen Wan greeted him politely, speaking softly and smiling shyly.
Xin Dayi raised her thick eyebrows and sneered, "Chen Wan, is it? Let me tell you, you're like everything except how to speak properly. You should say it like this: 'Okay, I am, Chen Wan.' Stutter as much as possible, and I guarantee Yan Xi will find you irresistible. Lu Liu? Wen Siwan? Who taught you? You're so unprofessional."
Chen Wan's face turned pale instantly.
Meatballs laughed too. Your expression isn't up to par. The person you're imitating only ever looks at you gently and smiles, smiles and smiles, and smiles forever. Only when someone else bullies someone—remember, not even a little bit—can you change your expression, understand? You have to curse them in broken, awful Beijing dialect, or smash a stool directly on their head. You have to be prepared for that.
Chen Wan's expression turned even uglier; she lowered her head and remained silent.
Yan hope put his hands in his pockets and said calmly, "Are you guys ever going to stop? I invited Chen Wan out. If you're unhappy about something, take it out on me."
Mary laughed. When did the people Lu Liu taught become so easy to get along with? Yan hope, you're so heartless it's disappointing. It's just because of a tiny bit of loneliness…
Yan Xi looked somewhat tired and said indifferently, "The case is over today. I'm just inviting you out for a meal. If you can't stand this meal, then get out."
Xin Dayi said, "Yan hope, is it true that anyone can fill your loneliness? Lu Liu used to be like that, but now, with Ah…"
Before Xin Dayi could finish uttering the next word, Yan Xi smashed the can in his hand over, his face cold, and sneered.
Yes, anyone is fine, as long as I like them, okay?
The coffee-colored liquid in the jar splashed onto Xin Dayi's chest, hair, face, and even chin, dripping continuously, making her look extremely disheveled.
Xin Dayi gritted her teeth, trembling with anger. "Yan hope, I'm your brother, and you're doing this for some unknown person!"
Chen Juan was also annoyed. Yan Shao has always been so carefree and easygoing. We common folk can't appreciate your good temper.
Immediately, he grabbed Xin Dayi and turned to leave.
Yan hope remained expressionless and continued walking forward, while Chen Wan kept apologizing.
I'm sorry, it's all because of me. I didn't know it would turn out like this. I'm so sorry.
Yan hope kept walking forward without answering. Suddenly, as if remembering something, she turned around and asked him, "Do you like to eat crayfish? Da Yi and the others love to eat them."
Chen Wan was slightly taken aback. Where should we eat?
Yan hope said, "Let's go to Avone, the environment is nice."
Chen Wan laughed, "I thought you were going to take me to eat ribs."
Yan hope shook her head and smiled faintly. That's my favorite, and I can't force others to have it.
Avone was still the same as before. Manager Lister was still the same German gentleman. He was very warm and polite when he saw Yan hope, but when he glanced at Chen Wan a few times, his expression was unnatural.
Yan hope handed the menu to Chen Wan and casually said to Liszt, "Mine is the same as always."
Chen Wan smiled, a little shyly, and asked softly, "Is it okay if I order anything?"
Yan hope was stunned for a moment, then nodded and smiled, "Yes, anything is fine, do as you please."
Lister bent down and asked the young man, "Young Master Yan, where's the beer? Why don't you go and pick one out?"
Yan hope glanced at him and said it wasn't necessary. Anyway, the fleeting time was probably drunk by your little boss. He's been back for quite a while now.
Lister looked somewhat embarrassed.
Chen Wan smiled and said, "I still want to try the pork rib dishes here and learn from them."
Yan hope said, "No need, the ribs here aren't as good as yours."
Then, he casually ordered Liszt a dish of lobster baked in fresh cream, a dish of French snails, a lightly spicy mint pasta, and finally a bottle of 1970s red wine. That was it.
Lister nodded, and before leaving, he glanced at Chen Wan one last time.
Chen Wan smiled, her eyes gentle, "I'm glad you like the ribs I made."
Yan hope nodded and said he liked it, liked it to bits. "From childhood to adulthood, of all the pork ribs I've ever eaten, no one has ever made them as delicious as you."
The gentle boy spoke softly, "Yan hope, I like you."
Huh? Yan hope didn't hear clearly.
Chen Wan said, "Yan hope, I said, I like you."
Yan hope squinted, took off his coat and scarf, draped them over his arm, and said calmly, "And then?"
Chen Wan was taken aback, as if she hadn't expected Yan hope's reaction. She forced herself to say, "Yan hope, I can take care of your daily life and make your favorite ribs every day."
Yan hope laughed loudly, "So what? You want to be my chef? As you can see, I'm a wage earner, still in university, saving up for my future wife, so I'm sorry, I don't have any spare money to hire you."
Chen Wan looked incredulous. He said, "You really like my ribs. I don't want any title, I just want you to be with me. You clearly like me. You've helped me so much, you even played a supporting role in the catwalk for me. Doesn't that count as liking me?"
The boy lowered his head, his slender fingers seemingly stroking the gray scarf on his forearm, its color dull and worn out.
If you're saying all of these are things you like, then I guess I just like your ribs and Lu Liu's money.
Chen Wan's thoughts were somewhat confused, and she seemed to have been hit hard. She inexplicably added a sentence.
It doesn't make sense; even Little Gray likes me.
Yan hope gave a forced smile; it was just an animal, what did it know?
Then she took out a wad of cash from her wallet and handed it to him, saying, "Thank you so much for taking care of our little Grey these past few days. It's been three months now, right? I'll drive to pick it up tomorrow."
Chen Wan angrily threw the money back at Yan hope, saying, "Yan Xi, I never wanted your money. I just... like you. Do you understand what it means to like someone?"
The young man remained unmoved. "Oh, so you want Lu Liu's money? Then let's do the same thing and not hurt each other's feelings."
Then, laugh. As for liking someone, sorry, that role is currently vacant.
Chen Wan's expression darkened. Had Young Master Lu indeed miscalculated? He had said that if his fifteen years were converted to three years, then that person's three years would only take three months.
Yan hope said that he just wanted me to realize how easy it is for him, regardless of gender, to abandon the past and start over.
Chen Wan smiled bitterly, "But I really like you. I will make your favorite ribs, take care of your favorite dog, give you someone to rely on, make you make exceptions for me, and soften your heart."
Yan hope glanced at him indifferently, "You forgot to mention, there's also this face, it looks damn similar."
Chen Wan said, "I lost. It was a useless move. As long as there is money, Young Master Lu can create a second or third pawn like me."
The boy took out his phone, dialed a series of numbers, handed it to Chen Wan, and said, "Thank you so much for making such delicious ribs for me these past few days, and for taking care of Xiao Hui. Please tell Lu Liu for me that if he really is so omnipotent, I beg him, I plead with him, can he help me find the person?"
If not, then stop everything. A person who has disappeared, whether alive or dead, has nothing to do with me anymore.
Chapter 66
Chapter 66
My roommate, Xiao Si, asked, "Aheng, what are you going to do if your boyfriend cheats on you?"
Ah Heng said that Fei Bai is a good boy and won't have an affair O(∩_∩)O.
Xiao Si laughs, please, stop joking. With a face like Gu's, there are plenty of people throwing themselves at him. The other day, the school beauty was asking him if he had broken up with her. With your looks, you're really confident.
Ah Heng = =, fine then, I'll pretend I don't know, then catch them in the act, grab them and bite them a couple of times, and roar like Uncle Jingtao, why, why are you doing this to me? God, can anyone tell me what I did wrong?!
The eldest sister rolled her eyes. "With all your meager abilities, seeing Gu Feibai's timid wife-like behavior and catching him in bed with another woman, you should at least close the door behind you."
Ah Heng TOT, big sister, please don't curse me, it's terrifying.
Xiao Wu wailed, "Aheng, I can't live anymore! Our man is dating Chu Yunzhen! Damn it, is 36D really that good? I love you so much! Ever since you became the spokesperson for Yueyue Shu, I haven't used any other brand. How could you just run off with another woman like that?!"
Ah Heng turned her head and asked, "How did you know? Wasn't it just a rumor?"
