The three of them finally went to the private restaurant that Yinuo and Gu Yi had originally agreed to eat at and had another dinner.
Yi Nuo was unusually quiet. He wasn't anxious, but he looked at his phone from time to time. There was no desolation in his eyes, nor was there any disappointment. However, his repeated actions revealed the emotions in his heart.
The three of them ate the snacks unhurriedly. They didn't say much. Everyone had their own thoughts and were absent-minded, but the atmosphere wasn't awkward at all. Jiang Cheng and Chen Xue continued to put food into Yi Nuo's bowl, and Yi Nuo continued to pour the food that was almost full into Jiang Cheng and Chen Xue's bowl. To begin with, Yinuo was not an extremely extroverted person. She had different attitudes and personalities towards different people. Jiang Cheng and Chen Xue were not people who had to talk. It wasn't the first time the three of them ate in silence, so it wasn't strange for them to take care of their own matters.
After eating, Jiang Cheng and Chen Xue continued to send Yinuo home. Just as they were about to reach Yinuo's house, Yinuo's phone suddenly rang. In the quiet car, it was so sudden that it almost disturbed everyone's breathing.
Gu Yi.
"Nuonuo. Where is it?"
"We're almost home."
"Yes, I am. I just finished my work. Wait for me downstairs. I'll pick you up.”
"Alright." Yinuo saw that it was already 11 p. m. on the clock in the car. However, after waiting for a long time, when there was finally a response, all the bad emotions from before were already gone.
"Wait for me. I'll definitely be there soon."
"Alright." Hearing Gu Yi's childish promise, she was delighted. Gu Yi, I'll wait for you for as long as you want. We've been together for so many years and used up all my youth. What else can I not wait for?
Where are you going with him at 11 pm? Jiang Cheng couldn't say anything else to tease and comfort himself. I wasn't angry, I wasn't angry. I was just pretending that your calm expression and your lack of struggle in my arms were all because your mind wasn't there, so you had completely forgotten that I was so close to you. A promise. How could he be worth it for you to pay so much for him?
The car stopped outside Yinuo's house.
Yi Nuo unbuckled her seatbelt. Before she could pull the door open, Jiang Cheng's hand buckled Yi Nuo onto the seat. "Wait for him to come. It's too cold outside." There was no gentleness, no pampering, and the tone of command was as if he was asking her to bring the documents over.
Last time, when Jiang City and Gu Yi met, she did not stop them. However, at this moment, Yi Nuo hesitated. He didn't want Gu Yi to feel that he had stood him up because he was busy, but he immediately punished him with Jiang City, provoked him, and gave him pressure.
In the end, Yi Nuo still refused. He'll be here soon." His tone was filled with caution.
Jiang Cheng didn't insist. He let go of her hand without saying anything. Yinuo got out of the car and waved goodbye.
Only Chen Xue responded with a smile. Jiang City only left Yinuo with a sharp and cold side profile.
There were some things that couldn't be balanced perfectly. For example, Jiang City and Gu Yi.
Jiang City's car whizzed past Yi Nuo, bringing with it a gust of wind that messed up Yi Nuo's hair. Yi Nuo stood by the roadside and gently retracted his fingers, allowing his emotions to churn in his throat. Some feelings had no clear boundaries. If one was not careful, they would confuse the true thoughts in their hearts.
Red light. Jiang Cheng took the opportunity to light a cigarette. His long and clean fingers held the cigarette and placed it on the steering wheel. When the smoke spewed out, his slightly narrowed eyes made it impossible to guess his emotions and thoughts.
"Snow. If I make Gu Yi unhappy. Will Yinuo hate me?" Jiang Cheng turned his head and asked as he started the car again.
"I'm afraid she won't have the strength to hate another person by then.”
"Will Yinuo come and beg me for him?”Jiang Cheng's tone was lonely and thin. 'Yinuo, you're proud and cold again. You don't ask for help no matter how difficult it is, but will you give up your pride and dignity to beg me for him?' The more Jiang Cheng thought about it, the more heartbroken he felt.
Chen Xue did not answer. Because she didn't know either. Because she was also afraid that Yinuo would beg her and Jiang City for Gu Yi. When that time came, no matter how good their friendship was, it would forever be a thing of the past.
"If. Gu Yi would not marry Yinuo. Then, no matter what method you use, Yinuo can only marry me.”
"I'd rather she marry you."
Jiang Cheng met Chen Xue's gaze through the rearview mirror. Chen Xue had never been biased in her relationship with Yinuo. She had always been objective until Jiang City went crazy. She hoped that she would sometimes lie to her and say some insincere words to make her believe that Yinuo might really be hers. Now that Chen Xue had suddenly changed her mind, she was indeed surprised.
"I always feel that you're too late. It's the wrong time. However, in Jiang City. Gu Yi had seized the opportunity, but he was not the right person. He's not a good person." Chen Xue continued.
"Perhaps he is, but unfortunately, he doesn't have the right to choose.”
"City. It wasn't like that. You love Yinuo so much. Don't you know what love is? There was no excuse to say that I had no choice when I loved someone. It was just like how Jin Shi had always been the same. Until his death, he still insisted on blocking everyone's faces and saying that only he could be his wife.”Back then, Chen Xue and Jin Shi were in love with each other. The two families had been friends for generations, but after a business disagreement, everything was destroyed. It was not easy to be born in a wealthy family. Chen Xue had a strong personality, and Jin Shi was also a persistent person. When the two of them were at their wits 'end, he would only say," I'll give up everything. Are you willing to leave with me?" Even until his death, he did not forget that Chen Xue was the bride he had vowed to marry when he was young. After Chen Xue finished speaking, she looked at the scenery outside the window, but her eyes were moist. Jinshi, are you alright?
"I'm sorry. It reminds you of something sad." Jiang Cheng took a tissue and handed it to the back.
Chen Xue didn't act pretentious. She took it and wiped her tears. "I'm fine. However, I think that perhaps this time, with your coercion, Yinuo will be able to think things through.”
Jiang Cheng's lips twitched. Regardless of whether he thought it through or not. This is something I've decided on. There's no turning back.
"If Gu Yi is someone she can't replace in her heart. If she can't marry Gu Yi, then no matter who she is with, she doesn't love them. Why should I give her to someone she doesn't love?”
"It's like this."
"Snow. Actually, what I fear the most is that she is not happy.”
"Then work hard to give her happiness. Yinuo was a clear-headed person. It was just that he loved to dig into a dead end and was obsessed with the past, which was why he was so conflicted.”
"I will." Jiang Cheng's voice was very low, but the weight of his promise was very heavy. "Snow. Help me."
