Chapter 25
On the grass-green badminton court, Yang Fan and Tang Ye were fighting inseparably. The creaking sound of the friction between the sneakers and the plastic floor sounded from all directions on the court and gathered in the air, like a monotonous cheering song.

Yang Fan jumped up suddenly, slashed down with the racket, and smashed the ball to Tang Ye's right side. Tang Ye was caught off guard, and was about to catch it with a backhand.Panting and shaking his head, he made a pause gesture to Yang Fan, and walked to the sidelines with the racket in his hand to replenish water, and Yang Fan also crossed the net and followed.

"Why is your stamina so good?" Tang Ye asked Yang Fan puzzled while drinking water, "Don't you just come out and practice once a week?"

Yang Fan unscrewed the cap of the mineral water bottle and took a few gulps before answering him, "When I was in Chicago, I went out for morning jogs every morning. After I came back, I became a lot lazy, but I will continue as long as I have free time."

"No wonder." Tang Ye glanced at his thin but tall and strong body, "You seem to be so serious in doing things all the time, don't you feel tired?"

"Sometimes," Yang Fan smiled, "but it's good to get used to many things."

He rushed his head towards the court, his voice suddenly lowered, "How is Cheng Yin recently...?"

He also knew that it was a bit abrupt for him to ask this question, but Cheng Yin's behavior in the bar that night made him recall afterwards that there always seemed to be something wrong.As soon as he saw Tang Ye today, he wanted to ask, and he has been holding back until now.

Tang Ye did not show surprise, but shrugged naturally, "It's okay, I haven't called me in the past two days, oh, she broke up with that man, just a while ago."

Yang Fan's chest seemed to be bumped by something moderately, and he suddenly felt relieved.

Tang Ye looked down at his thoughtful expression, and was a little alert, "Why, did you find something wrong?"

Yang Fan didn't hide it from him, "I ran into her drinking with someone at the bar the night before yesterday, she was quite drunk, she seemed to have something on her mind."

Tang Ye raised his eyebrows in surprise, "This girl, when will she know how to use wine to drown her sorrows?"

"It will probably be fine in a few days." Yang Fan smiled nonchalantly.

Tang Ye was overjoyed, "It seems that you are getting to know her more and more! The characteristic of Yinyin since she was a child is that everything comes and goes quickly—except for you——"

Seeing Yang Fan's uncomfortable expression, he hurriedly said, "Just kidding—by the way, next Tuesday is her birthday, and I plan to invite a few people out to have a good time and make her happy. If you have time, why don't you come together?" .”

"Next Tuesday?" Yang Fan seriously frowned and thought.

Tang Ye smiled and said bluntly, "Come if you want, it's okay if you don't want to, don't force it!"

"It should be fine that night, count me in." Yang Fan said, waving the beat on his hand, "Another game?"

Tang Ye raised his hand and looked at his watch, "I'm not coming, it's past eleven o'clock, shouldn't the yoga studio be over? Let's go, find a place to eat!"

Looking up, he saw Yang Fan's eyes were clear, as if he was about to open his mouth to tease him, Tang Ye hurried forward and hooked his shoulders, "I'm treating guests at noon today, let's go to eat Japanese food, how about?"

Yang Fan chuckled, "That's right, Shu Yan loves Japanese food the most, and you've even heard this clearly."

"What's so difficult about it?" Tang Ye curled his lips.

Finding out what the other party likes is one of the basic skills in chasing girls, but how to quickly and effectively grab the other party's attention is the difficulty.

Cheng Yin once warned him, "Shu Yan joined the club because of Yang Fan. If you plan so hard, I'm afraid the best result is to have a confidante."

Tang Ye smiled resolutely, "It's okay, what I have is patience."

Cheng Yin was very depressed, "I really don't understand, what's so good about Shu Yan?"

Tang Ye glanced at her, "You always look at her with tinted glasses, so of course you don't feel good about her."

Cheng Yin scoffed.

"Also," Tang Ye suddenly became triumphant, "I think Shu Yan deserves half of the credit for you—who told you to say how fake and hypocritical she was when you mentioned her in front of me before? Naturally, her expectations dropped, and when I met the real person, it turned out to be far from the case! Far exceeded my expectations, do you think I have a bad impression of her! You, think about it next time To destroy someone, you have to praise someone desperately in front of others, and raise everyone's expectations of her, even if she is really beautiful, people will still feel disappointed, get it, little girl!"

Cheng Yin was dumbfounded, "You are too insidious! You are too cunning!"

After taking a shower at night, Cheng Yin climbed into bed early, lying on the pillow and watching American dramas on the computer.She had already moved back from Xie Mei's house, not entirely because she couldn't stand Xie Mei's teasing, but mainly because her mother took the initiative to call her.

It's not easy for Zhou's mother to admit her "mistakes". Afterwards, my father came to her quietly and told her how much mother's ideological work he had done, so she was willing to accept this softness. Just take it.

Anyway, that's the end of the matter with Jiang Pei, since mother no longer speaks for that bastard, and Cheng Yin really misses the delicious food cooked by her father, she just went downhill and ended with a happy ending.

Just as she was watching with interest, the phone vibrated on the bed cabinet. She reached out and grabbed it. After a glance at the notification, it was actually Yang Fan who called, so she had to press the pause button on the video to answer it patiently.

"Brother, what do you want me to tell you?" Ever since receiving his admonition at the bar that night, Cheng Yin's head has been buzzing for two days, and when she thinks of Yang Fan, she feels a twitching feeling in her heart.

Unexpectedly, Yang Fan's voice was very gentle this time, "What are you doing?"

"Watching a TV show!"

"...That night, I...speaked a bit harshly, so don't worry about it."

Cheng Yin was surprised to hear that, why did everyone apologize in unison in the past two days?It seems that she has to look through the desk calendar to see if it is an auspicious day.

"Oh, that's why!" She still had to be generous on the face, and smiled nonchalantly, "I forgot long ago."

"I went to play with Tang Ye today...he told me all about it."

Cheng Yin's face immediately drooped again, she just said, how could the sun come out from the west, I dare to comfort myself.

"You men gossip like this too!"

"That depends on who it is." Yang Fan's tone was calm.

Only then did Cheng Yin smile, "You really flatter me!"

After picking up the cord, Cheng Yin's mood also inexplicably improved, and her laughter became more melodious and crisp when watching American dramas, which attracted her father to knock on the door, "Yin Yin, it's getting late, go to bed early!"

"Got it!" Cheng Yin turned on the phone again while perfunctory to her father.

Two minutes later, Yang Fan, who was still doing copywriting in his study at home, received a text message from Cheng Yin.

"I would like to introduce you to watch an American drama - "The Big Bang Theory". The Xie Er in it is very similar to you."

Yang Fan never watched TV dramas, but this message from Cheng Yin made him unable to resist clicking on the webpage.

After watching it for five or six minutes, he sent a text message back to Cheng Yin, "You want to use him to scold me, how can I be so sissy?"

Cheng Yin came back quickly, "Of course it doesn't refer to the sissy aspect."

He went back, "Where does it look like?"

"You two are equally meticulous, righteous, and principled... Oh, of course, the most important point is that you are equally smart!"

Yang Fan chuckled at the phone, the last point - just as clever, is obviously a smoke bomb.

He stopped playing word games with her, and sent another concise message, "It's late, go to bed early."

After that, Cheng Yin didn't text me again.

Returning to the work just now, Yang Fan's thoughts were a little out of focus, as if there was a little reptile crawling around in his heart.He simply stood up, made himself a small glass of whiskey on ice, stood by the window, sipped and browsed the text messages he had just exchanged with Cheng Yin.

He seldom exchanged text messages with others, preferring to call to solve things, it is convenient and quick to explain clearly, so there are very few message records in the phone, and the few remaining ones are all related to Cheng Yin.

Turning to the first message she sent, it was just a few words, "I'm fine, thank you!"

Yang Fan thought about it for a while, and remembered that this text message was the day after she fell into the river. He sent a letter to ask her first, and she replied to him.

Afterwards, he learned from Tang Ye that she developed a high fever the day after the accident and lay in the hospital for several days, not feeling well at all.

His heart, for some reason, suddenly felt uncomfortable because of this text message, as if a hand reached into his chest unscrupulously, grabbed his heart fiercely, and twisted it around a few times.

She was absolutely right.

He is always so meticulous, so upholding principles, so... just and awe-inspiring.

Since their lives began to intersect, he was used to standing on a pile of high ground, blaming her in a reprimanding tone, and educating her, but she never complained to herself.

He couldn't help laughing bitterly, it turned out that he was not nice to her at all.

In the office, Yang Fan held the pen that Cheng Yin gave him and fell into deep thought.

Shu Yan knocked on the door and came in, put several documents on the table, after Yang Fan reviewed them, he took off the pen cap, signed his name one by one, and handed them back to Shu Yan.She was about to go out when Yang Fan stopped her.

"You know..." There was hesitation in his expression, and he finally asked, "What kind of gift is more suitable for a girl's birthday?"

Shu Yan's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately became alert, "Whose birthday is it?" After asking, she realized that she was a bit talkative.

Yang Fan didn't notice her strangeness, "A friend, about the same age as you."

A woman's sixth sense is always sensitive. Although Yang Fan's tone and expression are indifferent, Shu Yan still feels something unusual. He has never asked himself for such personal opinions before, let alone for anyone. The girls are shopping.

Shu Yan felt very uncomfortable, but it was impossible not to answer. Yang Fan was waiting for her to speak sincerely.

"As a gift for ordinary female friends, of course it can't be too extravagant, and it can't be too simple... Small accessories, such as brooches and earrings, are all suitable."

Yang Fan thought about it thoughtfully, then smiled at her, "Thank you!"

Shu Yan probed further, "Do you want me to help you buy it?"

Putting aside her sour mentality, Shu Yan was still very curious. She wanted to know what kind of girl could make Yang Fan fall in love with her.

As long as she can seize this opportunity to personally purchase, she will always find a way to follow the clues to get something out.

"Oh, no need, I will handle it myself." Yang Fan's charming smile shattered Shu Yan's wishful thinking.

At six o'clock in the evening, Shu Yan watched helplessly as Yang Fan carried his computer bag and came out of the office excitedly. Someone in the corridor greeted him, "Andy, why are you going out so late?"

Yang Fan smiled, noncommittal.

Only Shu Yan understood that he was not leaving the company for business.

She was beyond depressed.

Yang Fan drove to a branded jewelry store on Jinghui Road. There were many accessories mentioned by Shu Yan here, and it was the place that office girls talked about most.

It was only 06:30, and there were almost no customers in the store. As soon as Yang Fan walked in, a young girl in black shop uniform came over to greet him and chatted with him. When he heard that it was a gift for a girl who was about to celebrate her birthday, she immediately gave it to him enthusiastically. He recommended it.

Rings, earrings, bracelets, necklaces, pendants, all kinds of materials, all kinds of styles, under the illumination of the light, all of them are shining piles, which dazzles Yang Fan.

He wasn't sure if Cheng Yin had pierced ears. According to his vague memory, her face and ears seemed to be clean and clean, and he had never seen her wearing any jewelry.

In the end, he settled on a burgundy crystal bracelet. Cheng Yin's skin is fair and smooth, so it should look good with this color.

While waiting for the clerk to pick up the new products, Yang Fan flipped through a product brochure placed on the counter, one page of which introduced the birthday month and the corresponding jade.

The lucky stone for August is peridot, and the recommended accessory is a light green peridot brooch inlaid in platinum, like a cat's eyes that have just opened, looking at the world sleepily, eyes full of laziness.

Yang Fan stared at the brooch for seven or eight seconds, and the corners of his lips slowly curled up, and he smiled softly.

"Excuse me, can you show me the actual brooch?"

The clerk glanced at the brochure, showing a sorry look, "It was sold out at the beginning of the month, and we only buy one or two pieces here, and we don't keep them in stock. If you need them, you have to make an order, and they will arrive in about a week." goods."

"No need, thank you!" Yang Fan felt very sorry, the cat's eye brooch was really suitable for Cheng Yin.

The disappointment on his face reminded the clerk of something, "Oh, by the way, there might be one in our branch on Zhijiang Road, may I ask for you?"

"If it's convenient, please ask for help." Yang Fan regained hope.

Five or six minutes later, the clerk put down the phone with a happy face, "Sir, they still have one! How about it, I'll let them deliver it tomorrow morning, and you can come and pick it up anytime tomorrow, but you have to pay a 6% deposit first .”

Zhijiang Road is not far from Yang Fan's residence, it is his only way, so he decided to take a trip by himself.

"Do you still want this bracelet?"

"Yes, please wrap it up for me."

Yang Fan is satisfied with the service of this store. Besides, that bracelet is really beautiful. Maybe there will be an opportunity to give gifts in the future, so it will always be useful.

At the birthday party that Tang Ye organized for Cheng Yin, she wanted Xie Mei to accompany her life and death. She was determined to match the two, especially in the stalemate between Tang Ye and Shu Yan, Cheng Yin became even more Want to fight hard, try to turn the tide - how to put it, I will be much more comfortable with Xie Mei than with Shu Yan in the future.

This afternoon, I happened to go out with Liu Zongwei to meet a client. On the way back, she told Liu Zongwei for a vacation and slipped away. Anyway, everyone has this kind of thing, and they all know how to cover up each other.

Xie Mei also asked for leave in advance, and when she called, she packed up and set off, met her at the appointed station, and the two took a taxi together to Shengyuan, where Tang Ye booked a box.

The weather was so hot that Xie Mei pulled a tissue to wipe off her sweat as soon as she got into the taxi, and touched up her makeup by the way.She works in a hotel, and she is used to appearing in the camera with makeup 360 days a year, without makeup, and she can't even put on a smile.

"You don't have to spend your birthday with your parents?" Xie Mei asked Cheng Yin while looking in the small mirror.

"No, my dad has already ordered noodles for us in the morning, and when we go back at night, it's just another noodle, at most two side dishes."

Xie Mei took Xiaojing away and said: "There is a minimum consumption for booking a box in Shengyuan, your third brother is really willing to spend money."

"He's just like that, he likes to be lively."

Cheng Yin was waiting to say something nice for Tang Ye, when Xie Mei changed the subject, "Will Yang Fan go tonight?"

"I don't know." Cheng Yin turned her head, saw Xie Mei staring at her meaningfully, immediately pushed her and shouted, "I really have nothing to do with him! Don't make fun of me anymore! It's annoying! "

Xie Mei grumbled, "I didn't say anything, why are you guilty!"

As soon as I stepped into the private room, I heard a voice that was not familiar with me, saying, "Speaking of which, the sex education of our generation is still uncivilized!"

Tang Ye's lazy voice followed closely, "Can you remove the word 'we'? You are too stupid!"

Laughter came and went.

"Third brother!" Cheng Yin called out with a high-pitched voice, and the miasma inside immediately dissipated.

"Little birthday star is here, please take your seat!" Tang Ye stood up with a smile, and glanced at Xie Mei who was smiling lightly beside her, and her smile deepened a bit.

Cheng Yinchao glanced at everyone present, most of them were friends who usually hang out with Tang Ye, and she often ran into them at dinner parties, so she was not a stranger.

To her surprise, Yang Fan also came, sitting next to Tang Ye, looking at her with a pleasant face, she also smiled back, and quickly looked beside him, but it was okay, Shu Yan didn't come.

Hearing Cheng Yin's introduction of Xie Mei, Yang Fan couldn't help raising his head and glanced at her seriously. This girl looked more gentle and charming than Cheng Yin in appearance and dress, but there was something more beautiful than Cheng Yin hidden in her beautiful eyes. times astute.

On the small cabinet in the private room was an [-]-inch big cake ordered from Katie, which was a birthday present from Tang Ye, and the rest of the people also brought presents to Cheng Yin, mostly for food. Know the size and packaging.

When it was Yang Fan's turn, what he took out was an exquisitely packaged small square box, and when he handed it to Cheng Yin, it immediately attracted several curious eyes.

"What is this?" Tang Ye observed carefully, "Chocolate? It's too small, it will be gone in one bite. Yang Fan, you are not such a stingy person, are you?"

Xie Mei speculated, "Maybe it's perfume."

Cheng Yin was also very curious, she stared at Yang Fan and asked, "Can I dismantle it now?"

Yang Fan smiled, "What is given to you is up to you, don't ask me."

Tang Ye immediately shouted, "Tear it down! It will be demolished immediately!"

As a result, the peridot brooch was quickly presented to everyone, causing another round of discussions.

"What is this? Crystal?"

"Not like crystal, either emerald!"

"Nonsense! How can an emerald be so shallow!"

It was Xie Mei who knew the goods, "This should be peridot! The lucky stone for August."

Everyone turned their eyes to Yang Fan for confirmation, he nodded with a smile, "Miss Xie is really well-informed."

Xie Mei pursed her lips and smiled, and replied as if acting, "Mr. Yang is a caring person!"

Hearing this, Tang Ye's originally lazy eyes seemed to light up, revealing an imperceptible smile.

Yang Fan seemed to have been pointed out by her words, and his face was slightly embarrassed. Fortunately, Cheng Yin was ignorant, and was looking at the beautiful gift with joy, and most people didn't understand their words, so they kept encouraging Cheng Yin Wear it and try it out.

Cheng Yin wore a Korean-style cotton skirt today, with small yellow flowers on the white background, she looked like a girl next door, the light green brooch was dotted in the middle of the small yellow flowers, not obtrusive, not aggressive, there was an indescribable harmony beauty.

Cheng Yin believes that this is the most reliable of all the gifts she received this year.

"Thank you Yang Fan!" She smiled sweetly at Yang Fan across a small half table.

"Cough...you're welcome." Yang Fan shyly withdrew his gaze from Cheng Yin's chest.

He only needs to move his eyes a little higher, and he can see Cheng Yin's white skin at a glance. He suddenly regrets it a little, for today's occasion, it seems that giving a bracelet is more appropriate.

When he was full of wine and food, Tang Ye asked the waiter to make room for the table next to Cheng Yin, put the cake on it, and inserted 25 more candles, and several boys enthusiastically lit the lighters one by one. light up.
