Chapter 7 Let the Bullets Fly (3)
Cheng Yin's tense mood came back again, she and Yang Fan looked at each other, and found that although he didn't express his nervousness as much as she did, the unnaturalness in his eyes was still obvious.

Yang Fan was also watching her, and when their eyes met, and they both read the emotion that the other was deliberately hiding, they couldn't help looking at each other and laughing.

Cheng Yin's mood this time was like riding a roller coaster several times, until now she really fell to the ground, she was determined to take off the veil completely.

After taking two sips of soup, she asked with a shy smile, "When Third Brother was looking for you, uh, didn't... frighten you?"

Yang Fan lowered his head and smiled, his voice was still as gentle as the wind, and he replied truthfully: "It's really a bit of a surprise."

In fact, he was taken aback when he received Tang Ye's call, and he repeatedly confirmed with Tang Ye, "You mean Cheng Yin? Zhou Chengyin? Are you sure you're not mistaken?"

He had reason to wonder, how could he have thought that the little girl who remained in the depths of his memory at the age of 15 would suddenly send someone to confess her love to him one day in the future!
"Although we are relatives, we are not familiar with each other. How could you...can you tell me why?"

Cheng Yin's cheeks were hot again, "It's nothing, if you like it, you like it."

Yang Fan clenched his fist and coughed lightly, and smiled at her as if he didn't know how to respond.

Fortunately, the steak was served at this time, and there was a flurry of hands and feet, which appropriately dispelled the embarrassment that had gathered just now. Amid the creaking sound of the steak grilling, Cheng Yin glanced over the big napkin used to cover the splashes, and secretly looked at Yang Fan. projected over.

This is the big boy she has secretly liked for nine years, even at this moment his slightly confused eyes are so charming and fascinated her.

She had waited so long for this moment, and Huang Tian paid off, and she finally got it.

During the formal meal, Yang Fan had already got rid of the short-term embarrassment, and slowly chatted with Cheng Yin about his experience abroad in the past few years and his return to China to start a business. Although it was only on a superficial level, he never complained in his words No matter what happened, Cheng Yin can still feel all kinds of hardships in the past two years.

"Brother Yang Fan, why do you want to go back to China? Don't you have a good job in the United States?"

In fact, what Cheng Yin wants to ask more is, why did he break up with his American girlfriend?But this question is too sensitive, if it is not done well, it will cause Yang Fan's unpleasant memories, and it is not too late to ask it later.

"Chinese working abroad can indeed do well in terms of material conditions, but they have no spiritual sustenance. Although American culture is known for its openness and tolerance, after staying there for a long time, you will still find that there are people you can't understand. Where you integrate, for example, when you reach a certain class, you will feel an invisible pressure and a sense of self-evident rejection. It is the same everywhere, and you will always favor the natives or locals more. And my traditional The concept is relatively strong, and I can’t find the feeling of home abroad, since I have to come back sooner or later, it’s better to go early, and I can do more things I want to do while I’m young.”

Cheng Yin has no experience in studying abroad, so she can't empathize with her, so she can only nod her head while listening carefully.

The steak here is very well done, the meat is tender and not too raw, but Yang Fan's appetite seems to be poor, and his movements are a bit reluctant.

"I had a girlfriend before I returned to China, you probably heard of it?" He asked Cheng Yin slowly while cutting the beef.

Cheng Yin's heart skipped a beat, he could pick whatever pot she wanted, she was so understanding.

She stared at him brightly, "Well. Why did you break up later?"

Yang Fan was still cutting meat endlessly.

"I have been with her for two years, and we are almost getting married. But there is a disagreement on whether to go back. I want to go back to China, but she is unwilling, and neither of us is willing to give in. Later, there is no way to continue. broke up."

After a while of silence, Cheng Yin asked him, "Then do you... regret it now?"

Yang Fan didn't answer her right away, after a while he shook his head slightly, put down his knife and fork, and looked into the distance.

"Because of this incident, I understand a truth. Two people staying together not only rely on the sweetness of the past and the moon, but the most important thing is to be in harmony. They must have common values, opinions, backgrounds, and have a chat. Topic, it’s best—” His voice suddenly changed from dignified to ethereal, “It’s still the same generation, so at least there won’t be a generation gap.”

Cheng Yin's originally smiling face froze suddenly, and his mind twisted into an intricate web. In this warm and affectionate communication like flowing water, something suddenly changed.

"You, you mean..." For some reason, a chilly wind passed through her heart.

Yang Fan finally turned his gaze away from a distance and turned to Cheng Yin's face, "Cheng Yin, you are still too young, so you are easily confused by some illusions. I don't know what you like about me, but I believe that you like me That person may not be the real me."

Cheng Yin's mind was buzzing, words such as "youth", "illusion", "confuse" and "imagination" were thrown at her involuntarily like gravel, she did not think carefully, and hurriedly argued, "No Yes! The person I like is you! I..."

She suddenly felt tongue-tied. Could it be that what Yang Fan said was not right at all?How much does she know about him?She got almost all her news about him from other people.And how can those memories of her teenage years be used as evidence in court at this moment, it can only make Yang Fan feel naive in vain.

"Actually, I'm a rather boring person. I often forget the time when I'm working, and I'm not very good at making girls happy, but you are different. You are lively and active, pay attention to the details of life, and there are so many people around you Turn around, if you are with me, one day you might regret it..." Yang Fan continued to speak lightly.

"No! I won't!" Cheng Yin wanted to defend instinctively, but when her eyes met Yang Fan's still smiling eyes, she instantly understood what he meant.

There is a kind of refusal, which seems to belittle oneself, but actually retreats to advance, and his true meaning is self-evident.

It turned out that he grandly invited her to have lunch today, not for the purpose of reconnecting with her, but just to find an excuse to get rid of her.

This turned out to be a grand feast for which she was unprepared.

Like a basin of cold water being poured from the top of the head, Cheng Yin's whole body was completely cooled!
Bitterness slowly spread from the cold heart.

"So, you asked me out today, you didn't want to be with me...you have already thought about rejecting me, right?"

On Cheng Yin's face, the brilliance of the first meeting has long since been swept away, replaced by the overwhelmed look after being hit hard.

Yang Fan couldn't bear it, but he had no choice but to tell the truth, "I'm sorry Cheng Yin, I think we... are not suitable."

"Why?" Cheng Yin suddenly felt angry, "Since this is the case, why do you still want to meet me? Why don't you just tell the third brother that this is impossible?"

Yang Fan looked calm, "This is a matter between you and me. I hope it can be handled between us. If I have any thoughts and opinions, I will only tell you alone."

"I can't see the difference at all."

Yang Fan pondered for a while, and said: "I will explain to Tang Ye that we did not succeed because I am not as good as you imagined, and your feeling for me is just a misunderstanding. In short, it is my problem."

Cheng Yin's reaction to Yang Fan's forced rhetoric was to sniff her nose twice and laugh a few times while looking at the ceiling.

"Cheng Yin, since you are Yao Yuan and Li Hui's younger sister, that is, my younger sister, some words may not sound very nice, but as an elder brother, I think it is necessary to tell you."

Cheng Yin listened silently.

"I know that you have been loved by many people since you were a child. It can be said that you can get what you want. Even Tang Ye, who hides when he sees trouble, is willing to come out to help you. I'm not saying it's bad for you, but ..." He paused, "You have grown up, you are a girl again, you can no longer speak and act like a child. Although I am not as close to you as your brothers, I also don't want you to be hurt. If what you meet this time is not me, but some other man with ulterior motives, have you ever thought about the consequences..."

Cheng Yin raised her head suddenly, her nine years of secret love for him suddenly turned into light nonsense in his mouth, how could she accept it.

"Does it mean that if the person I like is Li Xiaowei, you wouldn't find me so annoying now?" Her tone couldn't help becoming aggressive.

"I don't think you are annoying." Yang Fan's eyes flickered.

"That's what you think!" Cheng Yin was furious, "You make me look like an ignorant and mischievous person, it's just that you think I'm not good enough for you. Yes, I'm not aggressive enough, I Without the same educational background and values ​​as you, I can't get along with you, but I like you, is there something wrong with that?"

Yang Fan was stunned, momentarily robbed by her and speechless.

"Thank you for asking me out today, and thank you for the advice you gave me, I will remember it forever!"

Cheng Yin originally wanted to smile at him, but Yi Shu said, "Even if you have lost everything, your posture should not be too ugly."

But she couldn't control herself, she couldn't even continue to say another calm word, his calmness and rationality were like a knife, cutting her original confidence and joy into pieces, making her eyes hurt.

She must leave here quickly, otherwise, she does not guarantee that she will not shed tears in the next second.

As she grabbed her clothes and handbag she got up hastily, so violently that she tugged at the tablecloth and rummaged through the glass of caramel macchiato she hadn't even tasted.

The brown coffee was spreading violently on the table, and the tablecloth didn't have time to absorb the liquid, so we could only watch them scatter and escape, and then ran to the edge of the table to hang down bit by bit.

While Yang Fan was in a daze, Cheng Yin had already rushed out of the restaurant door, he didn't have time to ponder whether there was anything wrong with what he said just now, he could only summon the waiter full of annoyance, he had no time to pay attention to the other party's politeness, and asked a hasty question Numbers, leaving behind the meal expenses, hastily chased them out.
