Accidental Love

Zheng Shuyi felt that she should mercilessly reject Shi Yan right now.

You'll take me home? Do you think I don't have legs? Aren't you having a lot of fun with her? Huh?

But when she turned around, saw Shi Yan's face and the car behind him, she immediately changed her mind.

In the end, Zheng Shuyi sat in Shi Yan's car with the feeling of "bearing humiliation" and "forcing against her own will".

Want of forbearance in small matters confounds great plans.

But she was still very angry. She sat on the far side and looked out the window, facing Shi Yan with the back of her head.

I text you, and you don't reply. I flutter you, and you get angry. Now you go hook up with a woman who literally gets nervous whenever she sees you.

Am I not pretty enough?

Am I not trying hard enough?

Or is it because all the CEOs like those —"Women, you are afraid of me?" — type of person？

Boring.

Zheng Shuyi was so angry that her breathing turned heavy.

Wait, what right do I have to be angry?

Zheng Shuyi sighed, the irritated expression on her face slowly disappeared, and her eyebrows dropped down.

She was the one wanting Shi Yan, not him.

Sigh

I guess I'll just have to suck it up.

Zheng Shuyi's face was reflected on the car window. Like playing a movie, her expressions constantly changed on the glass.

Shi Yan watched her cheer herself up, frown, feel helpless, etc.

He looked around, and after taking a look at the rearview mirror, he smiled lightly.

After several minutes passed, Zheng Shuyi completely convinced herself.

She turned her head slowly and took a peek at Shi Yan.

At some point in time, this person had already taken off his glasses and was looking down at his phone.

The sunlight spilled in from the front windows and shined on his face.

Ever since getting in the car, Shi Yan has been silent and didn't seem to have any intention of talking with Zheng Shuyi.

As if he really was just here to simply take her home.

Zheng Shuyi calmly moved closer to him, then hesitated, thinking about what to say.

After thinking thoroughly, Zheng Shuyi gently tapped her chin with her index finger, and just when she was about to cautiously speak, Shi yan's phone rang.

She immediately closed her mouth.

Hearing what Shi Yan said on the phone seemed to be business-related, she began moving toward the corner of the back seats again silently.

Shi Yan felt her move and changed his hand to hold the phone, leaning his elbow against the car window, and turning his eyes slightly.

Zheng Shuyi fell into his field of vision.

She had her eyes lowered, not knowing what she was thinking.

The very light wind from the air conditioner in the car blew the hair around her cheeks slightly.

A few soft hairs flew in the gentle breeze along with her eyelashes.

The varying expressions on her face seemed like a lightbulb that was being turned on and off constantly.

"Mr. Shi?" The person on the other end of the phone suddenly asked, "Are you listening?"

"Yeah," Shi Yan looked away, "continue please."

The call was very long and didn't end until the car stopped at the gate of Zheng Shuyi's neighborhood.

After Shi Yan hung up the phone, he sat there quietly.

He turned around and saw Zheng Shuyi leaning on the back of her seat with her head tilted.

She fell asleep again.

And seemed to be sleeping quite soundly.

In a daze, Zheng Shuyi was probably dreaming about something, when she frowned, and slowly fell towards one side.

Just when she was about to fall, Shi Yan suddenly reached out his hand and placed his hand on her face to support her balance.

She wasn't wearing much makeup and didn't have the greasy feeling of powder on her face.

The skin touched by his palm was extremely soft and even a bit warm.

Shi Yan moved and helped her get back to her original position.

When he was about to pull his hand away, she murmured a few words.

The lips are red and pretty, one could even sense some sweetness coming from them with their eyes.

Shi Yan's thumb moved, and it gently moved across her lips.

——

When Zheng Shuyi slowly opened her eyes, she wasn't completely conscious yet.

She rubbed her neck and sat up slowly.

When she caught a glimpse of Shi Yan, her hand immediately stopped and instantly became aware.

At that moment, regret, speechlessness, and depression, several emotions instantly surged into her heat.

Why did I fall asleep again!

What a perfect chance we had in the car!!!

I missed it!!!

Rubbing her head, Zheng Shuyi was annoyed.

"Have you been waiting for a long time?"

Why didn't you wake me up…

After she finished, she looked toward Shi Yan's eyes and didn't say the second part of the sentence.

Shi Yan's eyes seemed to say "Do you know how precious my time is? Don't try to think that you have been here for long, ok?"

Sure enough, Shi Yan said lightly, "Not too long."

Zheng Shuyi didn't know what to say, and her movements also slowed down.

There was silence in the car for a few seconds.

Until Shi Yan asked, "Why aren't you getting off? Do you want to live in the car?"

Zheng Shuyi: "If I can…"

Shi Yan interrupted her, "Zheng Shuyi, I'm very busy."

"…"

After getting off the car, Zheng Shuyi stood by the door and smiled toward him, "Thank you for bringing me home, I'll be going."

——

Standing by the side of the road, Zheng Shuyi watched the car's taillights flicker, and she gradually thought about something.

When they were still in the car, she heard the driver ask where Shi Yan wanted to go.

The place Shi Yan said was not in the same direction as her house.

He was very busy and yet still took the time to give a ride for her.

So, was Shi Yan's behavior trying to comfort her?

He knew that I was upset after seeing him talking to Qin Shiyue, so he's comforting me?

Yes, that had to be it.

Thinking of this, Zheng Shuyi couldn't hide her smile anymore.

Her happiness was obvious and she also started walking faster. She even took the time to greet a neighbor whom she didn't really like.

But this happiness only lasted until her front door.

When she used her fingerprint to open the door, there was a beep, as if it was the button for her brain switch.

She held the doorknob and froze for a moment and froze there.

Shi Yan hooks up with Qin Shiyue, and now comes back to comfort me?

Fuck, that scumbag wants to keep a leg on both boats?

Fuck!

Zheng Shuyi pissed off again.

She slammed the door heavily, stepped into the living room, threw the bag on the sofa, then walked back and forth anxiously with her arms crossed.

I'm so angry! That mother fucker is such a scum! 

As she walked, she stumbled on the foot of the sofa. The moment she fell, she didn't bother to do anything and went straight into the soft sofa.

Lying down and looking at the ceiling, Zheng Shuyi grabbed a pillow, pressed it against her chest, and tried to make herself feel better.

Actually, I'm not that good of a person either.

Yes, that had to be it.

The terrible pot gets the terrible lid.

Zheng Shuyi exhaled, turned over, and stared at the ground for a few moments.

With a "bang", she threw the pillow out and knocked down a photo frame.

Fine, I admit that I'm not all in for love, but at least I'm not hooking up with someone else at the same time.

I'm dedicated to only you okay?!

Very, very dedicated!

That night, a second pencil with Mingyu Bank's logo was snapped.
