Crossing the line

Chapter 136 Climbing into bed
Wen Yangzhi just looked at the corner of her clothes: "I just want to have a good talk with you. Can I let Ying Yu step aside for a while?"

The voice was still low and gentle, as familiar as the whisper heard in the ears day and night, but at this moment Yun Yuwan just stood behind Jiang Yingyu without saying a word.

It is as calm as a closed lake with no water flowing into it, and never any waves or surges.

Jiang Yingyu intended to block Yun Yuwan even more tightly. Although he smiled, he did not retreat a single step, and even had a hint of sarcasm in his tone:
"Brother, if you came to Belgium to pursue Millie, it's too late. You had plenty of opportunities to talk to her when she was in China."

"This is a matter between Yuwan and me." Wen Yangzhi didn't take him seriously.

Jiang Yingyu took a step back, slightly pressed against her, but completely shielded her with his broad back, and said in a friendly manner with a smile:
"I won't leave Millie, but I don't want you to misunderstand that she is fickle. Millie is not that kind of person. It's just that I pursued her very closely. She didn't know I liked her before and she just regarded me as a good friend."

The other party kept emphasizing that he had misunderstood Yun Yuwan. He said this to him on the surface, but he was probably actually saying it to Yun Yuwan.

Wen Yangzhi had no intention of paying attention to him at all. He just wanted to wait for Yun Yuwan's answer and said lightly:
"No need to say that, I didn't misunderstand."

But Yun Yuwan didn't want to say a word to Wen Yangzhi. She just wanted to stay away from him. As soon as he came in front of her, she felt uncomfortable and depressed.

She just avoided talking to Wen Yangzhi, as if completely ignoring his existence:

"I want to go to Gaufres to eat chocolate waffles. We just talked about it. If we don't go now, we will have to queue later."

Wen Yangzhi could hear it.

When Jiang Yingyu heard that she completely ignored Wen Yangzhi, he turned around and looked at her gently, "Okay, let's go eat waffles first."

She took a step.

Jiang Yingyu turned around and glanced at Wen Yangzhi: "Excuse me."

The two of them walked away like this, but Wen Yangzhi knew that he couldn't force her now.

She avoided him deliberately.

When Wen Yangzhi found the store, he saw Yun Yuwan and Jiang Yingyu sitting opposite each other and eating waffles through the window glass.

Seeing chocolate sauce on the corner of her mouth, Jiang Yingyu tapped the corner of his mouth to signal her. Before she realized it, he stood up with a tissue to wipe it off for her.

In fact, if Wen Yangzhi was by her side, he would of course hug her more intimately and wipe her mouth directly.

Inside the window, when Yun Yuwan's hand placed on the tissue, Jiang Yingyu took his hand away and let her wipe it herself.

She smiled at him sheepishly.

In fact, it was not any excessive behavior, it was just that the atmosphere between her and Jiang Yingyu was different.

Completely different smiles. In China, she is proud and flamboyant, but in Belgium, she is introverted and shy. But she seems very relaxed when she is with Jiang Yingyu.

She was quiet, just listening to Jiang Yingyu with a gentle smile on her face.

Wen Yangzhi had never seen it before.

Jiang Yingyu cut a honey muffin while saying, "...When they broke into my house and robbed me, I had just arrived in London and had nothing. I had just rented a house and slept on the floor with old clothes. They came in and saw me and asked for money, but I hadn't exchanged pounds yet and didn't have a penny. Seeing my pity, they gave me ten dollars when they left. Later, I saw one of them begging for food in the underground passage, and he asked me to take some coins from his bowl to spend."

Yun Yuwan smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed: "How can there be such a robber?"

Jiang Yingyu spread his hands helplessly: "Maybe I'm really too poor."

Yun Yuwan covered her mouth and laughed.

Wen Yangzhi looked at her. She was sitting in the restaurant under the setting sun, her smile directed at others.

When the two came out, they saw Wen Yangzhi carrying a half dozen bottles of Belgian flower beer.

As soon as he landed, he went looking for Yun Yuwan without resting or stopping.

His neatly slicked-back hair was slightly loose, and his square forehead was hidden by a strand of hair. Even through his silver-rimmed square glasses, one could see his slightly droopy and blue eyes.

He was wearing the same black, half-high collared sweater he had worn when she left the country. The details of his trousers had become slightly wrinkled from the long plane and car ride, and he still wore the couple ring he had shared with her on his long, bony fingers.

He stood on the busy street, holding his black windbreaker in one hand and the beer she had been longing for in the other.

But he just said gently: "You said you wanted to drink this brand of flower beer from Belgium."

Yun Yuwan saw the beer and just smiled friendly: "We just finished dinner, we can drink tomorrow. It's rare for you to come to Belgium, you can go around and have a look. I will always be here, so you don't have to rush."

She has been here for three years, but this is his first time here, and he had many opportunities to come.

Seeing her smiling at him, Wen Yangzhi breathed a sigh of relief, but he couldn't grasp her emotions.

But when she was about to leave, he said in a hoarse voice, "Can I make an appointment with you tomorrow?"

She looked back and just said gently, "Of course."

Jiang Yingyu didn't want her to force him. He could clearly see that she didn't want to see Wen Yangzhi:
"Millie?"

Yun Yuwan just said softly: "He must be very tired, let's not disturb him, let's go."

This is for Wen Yangzhi.

Jiang Yingyu had no choice but to look at Wen Yang deeply and leave with her.

But as soon as she turned around, she immediately took out her phone to look for tickets to Italy.

Jiang Yingyu lowered his head and saw her cell phone screen, and understood what she meant.

“I just happen to have some friends in a band in Italy, and we can play with them.”

She nodded with a little joy.

Wen Yangzhi watched them walking among the brown and white houses, the cobblestones on the road, and the towering bell tower in the distance was brilliant and romantic under the sunset. In fact, there was still some distance between them, not very close, but both of them had possessive desires that made him regretful.

Jiang Yingyu had heard people say before that a person’s character can be seen after a breakup, but he never thought he would actually see it.

She was as respectable as could be. She didn't say a bad word about Wen Yang, nor did she lose her temper in front of outsiders or complain about her grievances and pain.

Even spoke up for Wen Yangzhi.

Most of his friends will complain bitterly after breaking up.

But Jiang Yingyu didn't expect that this also meant that Yun Yuwan was broken.

Because she already regarded Wen Yangzhi as an outsider, she was very annoyed to reveal even the slightest emotion to him.

When we returned to Yun Yuwan's house after sunset, the housekeeper took out the check and rushed out of the kitchen with a spatula:

"It was a check. It was under the stove, Millie. Oops, it's overdue."

Yun Yuwan and Jiang Yingyu were watching a TV program, laughing so hard that they were bent over.

She glanced at it casually, still smiling, but said to the letter she had been longing to find: "Throw it away."

Some useless stuff.

The housekeeper breathed a sigh of relief, thinking it was unimportant, and prepared to throw it away.

The doorbell outside rang at an inopportune time, and the housekeeper immediately muttered: "Recently, there are always some homeless people and teenagers ringing the doorbell randomly. Wait for me to chase them away."

But not long after the door was opened, the butler suddenly rushed in, holding the check, and said in panic:

"There's a very handsome man outside who says he's your fiancé."

The housekeeper's eyes fell on Jiang Yingyu and he was shocked.

Isn’t this the boyfriend Millie brought back from China?
He gets along so well with Millie, and they always talk and laugh together.

Jiang Yingyu's smile froze.

Yun Yuwan got up and saw Wen Yangzhi standing at the door through the window with a suitcase beside him.

She gently pushed open the window.

Wen Yangzhi stood under the dim light at the door, looked at Yun Yuwan, and said gently: "Can I live here?"

But he had already clenched the windbreaker in his hand.

He lived somewhere else, afraid she would run away.

He couldn't believe that they would meet again, as she had a criminal record more than once.

Yun Yuwan still had a smile on her face: "There are many places to stay in Belgium. I'll ask the housekeeper to take you to a hotel here and get a room."

He lowered his attitude and begged her: "I can even sleep on the sofa."

After a moment's stalemate, it became clear that he would not leave.

Yun Yuwan turned around and whispered to Jiang Yingyu: "Let's go into the room and take a look. There is a projector in my room."

Jiang Yingyu's mood was rising.

Wen Yangzhi couldn't hear what she and Jiang Yingyu were saying.

But in an instant, she looked at him and said, "I'll ask the housekeeper to put you on the fourth floor."

Wen Yangzhi felt a little relieved, at least she was still willing to let him in.

The butler stood behind, holding a spatula in one hand and a check in the other. He looked at Jiang Yingyu and Wen Yangzhi, not knowing how to deal with this situation.

So who is Millie's boyfriend?

Or...both?
It turns out that China is so open, just like her hometown, the Netherlands. When she was young, she had no less than five boyfriends in the Netherlands.

It seems that we have really misunderstood this ancient country.

Yun Yuwan and Jiang Yingyu went upstairs to watch TV. The housekeeper casually threw the check into the trash can in the living room. It would be obvious if anyone paid attention.

Late at night, Yun Yuwan was already fast asleep when she suddenly felt the bed move.

She tried hard to open her eyes, only to find that Wen Yangzhi had climbed onto her bed, lifted her quilt, and shamelessly slept on her only small flowery pillow, with his long legs curled up on her 1.5 by 1.8 meter bed.

He once thought her 1.80-meter-by-1.80-meter bed in Wen Garden was too small.

Wen Yangzhi was afraid that she would be annoyed, but Yun Yuwan didn't react. She just glanced at him and closed her eyes again.

He was secretly delighted and hugged her petite and warm body, snuggling up to her and sleeping together, just like they had done every day for the past three months.

Every night they fell asleep in each other's arms, sometimes they would kiss and then move away before falling asleep happily, sometimes she would lie in his arms and look at his phone together, even if she couldn't understand the financial terms, she would try her best to understand, and he would explain every detail to her, and she would fall asleep while listening, sometimes they had just finished being intimate, with the afterglow of the climax still in their bodies, and they would fall asleep tiredly but contentedly relying on each other.

He tried to kiss her, their lips met, and as he kissed, he found that she responded.

Wen Yangzhi was almost ecstatic.

The next day, she sent a message to Jiang Jianqing saying that everything was probably fine. She softened her attitude towards him and allowed him to be close to her as usual.

Jiang Jianqing on the other end did not smile:

"Wen Yangzhi, this time it's really over."
