Chapter 207 Can We Be Together?

Song Muxuan seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw and decided to devote himself to work as an excuse to escape from this emotional fog.

And his departure seemed like a silent release for Shen Yin.

It allowed her tense nerves to relax for a moment.

In a blink of an eye, the next day's noon sun lazily poured into the office, and Shen Yin whispered his little episode to his good friend Xue Qin.

When Xue Qin learned that Wen Xu was about to come to visit, her face quickly flushed with excitement. She held Shen Yin tightly with both hands, and her nervousness and excitement were evident in her words: "Are you sure you are not kidding me?"

"When have I ever played such a joke on you?"

Shen Yin asked back, with a hint of humor and lightness in his words.

"But, but I feel unprepared and at a loss..."

Xue Qin seemed a little embarrassed, her cheeks slightly red, and she looked like a shy girl.

Seeing his friend's reaction, Shen Yin couldn't help but chuckle, and gently twisted her nose with his fingertips: "What's there to prepare? Just be yourself. The calmness and generosity that comes naturally are the most attractive charm!"

"Shen Yin, are you sure that Lawyer Wen doesn't have a girlfriend, right?"

Xue Qin confirmed again, his eyes flickering with anticipation and anxiety.

This time, Xue Qin was obviously experiencing the throbbing of love for the first time. He felt mixed emotions and was afraid that his enthusiasm would be met with a cold response from the other party, so he took every step with extreme caution.

Shen Yin recalled carefully when he was chatting with Wen Xu during the Spring Festival.

He has made it clear that he is currently single, which seems to be true.

"Go for it, I see you two are a match made in heaven, destined to be together!"

Shen Yin encouraged from the bottom of his heart, and his words were full of sincerity and blessings.

As soon as these words came out, Xue Qin's cheeks turned as red as peach blossoms due to shyness, and that color of happiness and shyness was a little brighter than before.

Just as the two were immersed in a heated conversation and unaware of it, An Lan's ghostly figure passed silently from behind them, leaving behind a faint melancholy.

Under her delicate face, the dark circles around her eyes were particularly glaring, revealing a deep sense of fatigue, and the whole person seemed to have been drained of all her energy and spirit by an invisible force.

Recently, the atmosphere in the team has become delicate.

Everyone unconsciously lowered their tone and spoke cautiously when communicating with An Lan.

Sometimes she is silent, like a pool of unfathomable still water; but once she opens her mouth, it is as if she is like a bomb with the fuse lit, her edge is revealed, her words are sharp, and she shows no mercy.

This change made everyone avoid her. Whenever she appeared, everyone would find excuses to leave. Xue Qin didn't breathe a sigh of relief until An Lan's figure completely disappeared from sight. She lowered her voice and revealed, "Last night at the concert where she played the lead, she played the wrong notes several times, and was severely criticized by the band leader this morning.

It is said that if it were not for President Xu’s mediation, her position as the chief would have been in jeopardy…”

Upon hearing this, Shen Yin responded softly, feeling mixed emotions.

In the eyes of others, An Lan's condition might just be a temporary low, but in Shen Yin's cognition, Xu Changqing's influence behind all this cannot be ignored.

In the past, Xu Changqing's arrival was like the warm sunshine in winter, which gave An Lan's career a boost; but now, this help seems to have become a shackle that binds his progress, or perhaps the delicate balance between the two has been broken, restricting each other and becoming entangled.

Regarding such a complicated dispute, Shen Yin wisely chose to remain silent and was unwilling to make any further comments.

...Since that trip to the hospital with Ye Jing, Shen Yin's life has quietly changed, and a new habit has been inadvertently rooted in her heart - whenever she has free time, she always can't help but want to send Ye Jing a few messages, using words to build a bridge to dispel the haze in her heart.

Shen Yin is fully aware of the pressure Ye Jing is under and is afraid that she will fall into the quagmire of excessive thinking, so he always tries to bring a touch of color to Ye Jing's life with humorous language and positive energy.

At first, Ye Jing's world seemed to be shrouded by a mountain called despair, but as time passed, Shen Yin's messages as warm as spring sunshine gradually melted the ice in her heart.

At noon, in a corner of the cafeteria, when Shen Yin turned on his phone, the light on the screen caught his eyes, and Ye Jing's message jumped out: [I will get the test results tomorrow morning. I thought I would be extremely nervous, even scared to face it, but guess what? Now I feel unprecedented peace. With the care and concern of a friend like you, no matter what the result is, I think it is the best arrangement of God.

I'm ready, really! [heart emoji]] Between the words, Ye Jing's mental transformation is clearly visible, like a butterfly emerging from a cocoon.

After reading it, Shen Yin felt a warm current surge in his heart and the corners of his mouth naturally turned up.

All she did was the simplest contribution as a friend, but she unexpectedly received Ye Jing's recognition and gratitude.

Although his actual help seemed limited and he provided comfort mostly through words, Shen Yin felt extremely relieved to see Ye Jing's mood improve. At least he had added a ray of light to her gloomy days.

After replying to Ye Jing's message, Shen Yin temporarily left the WeChat interface, opened the reading app with a touch of his fingertips, and immersed himself in the unfinished novel again, enjoying the other kind of tranquility and pleasure brought by the words.

About half an hour ago, a warm message arrived as promised, with a few short words "soon coming", foreshadowing the upcoming reunion.

For today's lunch, Shen Yin specially chose a cozy little restaurant located downstairs from the orchestra's rehearsal building to make a reservation, and consulted Wen Xu in advance, asking if Xue Qin could be invited to join them.

Although Wen Xu and Xue Qin did not have much interaction and had only met each other twice, the friendship between them was enough for him to readily agree. The concise and powerful word "OK" in his reply was full of straightforwardness and friendliness.

Just as I gently closed the dimly glowing phone screen and prepared to focus all my attention on the upcoming gathering time, a delicate whisper floated to me: "Are you watching anything interesting?"

The sound was like a spring breeze blowing past your ears, bringing with it a hint of imperceptible warmth.

At some point, Wen Xu appeared silently behind Shen Yin like a ghost, and his footsteps were so light that it seemed as if he couldn't bear to disturb even the dust in the air.

Shen Yin turned her head suddenly, and in front of her was his familiar and slightly playful smile. She couldn't help but smile brightly and replied, "Hey, you're here! Youyi went to the bathroom temporarily and said she would be back soon."
