Yin is love: the reversal of women chasing men

Chapter 13: Ink Attack (3)
Shu Yan enthusiastically made way for her and followed her in. There was no one in the tea room. While taking the tea bag, Cheng Yin listened to Shu Yan laughing in a mysterious tone behind her: "You and Andy are so cute. Interesting."

"What do you mean?" Cheng Yin's heart skipped a beat, she is so fragile now.

"Andy introduced you to AST, right? The first meeting between you two just now acted like the real thing, but unfortunately you couldn't hide it from me."

Cheng Yin turned around in astonishment, and saw Shu Yan's face proud of finding a treasure.

"Hehe, you're so smart." She smiled stiffly.

As expected, there are many ways to prepare gossip, but they all remain the same, and basically all come from the gossipers' own imagination.

"Don't worry, I won't tell it! Andy never told me, which means he doesn't want others to know, I understand!"

Shu Yan's enthusiasm made it inconvenient for Cheng Yin to leave in a hurry. The two stood at the door of the tea room with their cups in hand. At this moment, thunderous applause broke out in the auditorium. Yang Fan's speech was over and he was greeting the audience.

"Andy is so eye-catching everywhere." Shu Yan's tone was full of pride and attachment.

Cheng Yin uncomfortably took a sip of tea, and then another.

"I really envy you!" Shu Yan turned her head and said to her, "It would be great if I had a cousin like Andy, you must have a good relationship, right?"

"...tolerable." Cheng Yin answered vaguely with a rough voice.

Shu Yan's shining face made her unable to stay any longer, she drank all the tea in the cup, threw away the paper cup, greeted Shu Yan and went back to her seat.

With a woman's intuition, she can be sure that Shu Yan's feelings for Yang Fan are not limited to the simple relationship between superiors and subordinates.

She wriggled violently, pulling herself out of deep thoughts.

After the seminar, Cheng Yin strolled around the tree-lined campus for a while in order to avoid the rush hour before heading towards the gate where the crowds gradually thinned out.

While hailing a car on the street, a blue Skoda stopped in front of her. Shu Yan poked her head out of the car, "Fanny, do you want to go back to the company? We'll see you off."

Cheng Yin immediately recognized that it was Yang Fan's car, and instinctively refused, "Thank you! No need, I can just take a taxi."

"But there are very few taxis in this area, you should come up, anyway, Andy is going to AST."

Cheng Yin was still dawdling, Yang Fan's voice came from the taxi, "Cheng Yin, hurry up, don't stop here for long."

She had no choice but to awkwardly open the door of the rear seat and get in.

There were only Yang Fan and Shu Yan in the car, both sitting in front, Cheng Yin stared at the gap between them, and said dryly, "Thank you!"

Shu Yan giggled, "You brothers and sisters are still so polite!"

"It should." Cheng Yin still remained cautious.

Yang Fan chuckled and snorted without speaking.

Shu Yan continued to say happily: "Fanny, with you here in the future, the AST people will not make things difficult for us."

When Cheng Yin wanted to show that she was soft-spoken and couldn't help much, Yang Fan already smiled and said, "Did someone feel sorry for you before? If so, why didn't you tell me."

"No!" Shu Yan said angrily, "I just want to say, there are acquaintances here, at least some things can be ventilated in advance!"

She turned her head and explained to Cheng Yin, "When we were in City D before, you didn't know how miserable it was! Several times it was very late, and suddenly I received a notice from AST that we must go to the company for a meeting tomorrow morning. No The only way is to rush over here in the middle of the night, otherwise how can we guarantee that we can attend the meeting on time the next day!"

"Now that the company has moved here, this kind of thing will naturally not happen again." Yang Fan spoke softly, as if to comfort Shu Yan.

Listening to the exchanges between the two, it is not difficult for Cheng Yin to imagine the intimacy and tacit understanding between them. To her, it is another side of Yang Fan, which is completely unfamiliar.

She silently turned her gaze out of the car window, watching the scenery on the side of the road receding rapidly, a slight separation rose in her heart, and the awkwardness and apprehension when she first entered the car gradually disappeared.

After passing a certain intersection, Yang Fan put Shu Yan off the car, she was going to the nearby approval center to do something.

The car slid forward for a while and slipped into a small road with few vehicles. Yang Fan stepped on the brake suddenly, Cheng Yin's body trembled slightly, and she looked forward in amazement.

"Sit in front." Yang Fan ordered calmly, "I have something to tell you."

Cheng Yin was stunned for a moment, then opened the car door silently, and turned to the passenger seat.

Yang Fan didn't look at her, and didn't start the car immediately, he was silent for a moment before asking: "When did you enter AST?"

"Years ago."

"It feels very sudden." It was obvious what kind of speculation was in Yang Fan's expression.

Cheng Yin had to defend herself with difficulty, "Don't get me wrong, I didn't enter AST because of you, I was just... curious about this industry, and I just had this opportunity..."

"You don't have to explain to me," Yang Fan glanced at her, "You have the freedom to choose to do whatever you want."

Cheng Yin lowered his head.

There was a silence in the car, as if waiting for a certain emotion to be digested as soon as possible.

It was Yang Fan who broke the silence first, "However, since you joined AST, we will have many opportunities to meet in the future. I don't want our future relationship to be affected by the past, and you don't have to deliberately avoid me. Is that okay?"

Cheng Yin didn't answer him right away, she thought for a while before saying: "You asked me a question before, and I haven't answered you."

Yang Fan looked at her puzzled.

"You ask me why I like you."

"..."

Cheng Yin let out a sigh of relief, and cast her eyes on the road ahead, "When I was 12 years old, I was trapped in a tree and dared not come down. It was you who opened your arms to me under the tree and asked me to jump down. You said you You will catch me, I believed you, I jumped down with my eyes closed, and I was safe and sound. Since then, I will remember you."

Yang Fan put his hands on the steering wheel and listened attentively. Cheng Yin's voice had a softness that he had never felt before, as if he had matured a lot all of a sudden.

"At the age of 15, I followed my eldest brother and sister-in-law to Tianfang to give you a farewell party for your study abroad. That day I finally figured out what the shadow in my heart was always vague. I want to be like you, and I want to be the person everyone praises, but the most important thing is Yes, I want to follow you, I want to be with you one day..."

A silent tide surged in Yang Fan's heart, and his thoughts followed Cheng Yin's narration back to the high-spirited years, but Cheng Yin's figure was still not very clear in his memory.

Cheng Yin turned to him and asked, "Do you still remember the high-five vows I made with you? I said that I will go to the United States to study in the future, and you promised to take care of me when the time comes."

Yang Fan's eyes were blank, with a trace of embarrassment on his face.

Cheng Yin smiled nonchalantly, and continued: "After entering high school, my grades were the first in the class almost every year, and I was never in the top three of the whole grade. At that time, I believed that I could go to the United States, I believed that I will find you one day, but—you have a girlfriend."

Yang Fan was silent, his eyelids drooped, covering everything in his eyes.

"I have been sad about this for a long time. I found that there is such a big gap between us, no matter in time or space, no matter how hard I try, I can't catch up with you. After that, it will be a few years It’s over. When I almost forgot about you, you suddenly came back, still alone.”

"..."

"I said to myself, 'Zhou Chengyin, maybe this is God's will, this is your chance, no matter what, you have to try, otherwise you will definitely regret it in the future.'"

She laughed at herself, "Of course you know everything."

"Cheng Yin..." Yang Fan couldn't help calling her in a low voice, but that was all.

It's not without shock in his heart, he never knew that a cheerful and lively girl like Cheng Yin could hide something in his heart so deeply, but at this moment, he really didn't know what to say.

After narrating such a long paragraph, Cheng Yin originally thought that she would be agitated and even shed tears, but she did not expect that she could be so calm.

"Third brother said, I have been chasing an illusory shadow. I don't know if this statement is right or not. I really don't know you at all. But I don't regret everything I have done, because," she gently, Like a dream, I spit out the following sentence, "I finally realized a dream I had a long time ago."

The silence in the car was almost suffocating, Yang Fan's hands were still tightly gripping the steering wheel, and the tide in his chest was still quietly surging up, he couldn't tell exactly what it meant, but at this moment, he felt Cheng Yin has indeed changed.

It turned out that he thought this "ridiculous" confession brokered by Tang Ye was just an immature nonsense by the mischievous Cheng Yin.

It wasn't until this moment that he realized that he was wrong.

Cheng Yin's eyes gradually brightened, and the melancholy on her face that didn't match her baby face also escaped suddenly, and she looked at Yang Fan with a bright smile at the same time.

"Now, everything is over. Thank you for covering me up in front of relatives. I know that my willfulness has caused you trouble, and I have always wanted to say sorry to you."

Yang Fan smiled hastily, "I suddenly became so sensible, I can't get used to it."

Cheng Yin bit her lip and laughed, the embarrassing atmosphere between them finally faded away.

"If there is anything involved between me and you, there is only a brother-sister relationship, so you don't have to worry about work at all."

"I believe." Yang Fan also smiled lightly, but his heart was not as relaxed as expected, and he had no time to clean up his many emotions.

At the gate of AST, Yang Fan didn't intend to get out of the car, Cheng Yin turned to him and asked, "Aren't you going in?"

"Well, I remember something else, come over another day."

Cheng Yin pushed the door and got out of the car. Yang Fan was waiting to see her step into the company gate, but her face suddenly appeared outside the car glass, smiling brightly at him.

Yang Fan didn't understand what she meant, so he rolled down the car window and stared at her with questioning eyes.

"Thank you, Brother Yang Fan!" Cheng Yin said, waved to him vigorously, turned around and walked in briskly.

Her bright smile made Yang Fan stunned for a while, and the "Brother" was called so naturally and smoothly by her, as if heralding some kind of psychological transformation.

Yang Fan was stunned for a while before slowly starting the car and driving forward.

After hearing the sound of the car leaving, Cheng Yin withdrew from the door, returned to the steps, and watched the Skoda still in sight from afar.

Suddenly, the sun was so bright, the air so clean, the sky above her head so blue, and her heart so light.

She seemed to have unloaded a certain burden on the Yang Fan car, and the long-standing knot in her heart was quietly opened inadvertently.

Who said that only when you fall down can you really grow up.
