Chapter 67: Finale (2) - Mom! He's Really My Boyfriend!
Zheng Shuyi tried to un-spill the beans
But at this moment, Qin Shiyue's IQ seemed to have suddenly increased by tenfold. She didn't even give Zheng Shuyi a chance to explain as she asked three questions in a row, "So that's why he gave a like to your post in the middle of the night?! At New Year's he even went to Qingan?! Oh-oh! I even saw you near his house before, I was wondering what you were doing there!"
Zheng Shuyi: "……"
Now there was nothing she could say.
In the living room, Shi Yan took off his jacket and half leaned on the sofa. He was completely relaxed and unaware of what his girlfriend was experiencing.
"But, why is it, my uncle???"
Qin Shiyue held the cherry basket tightly and her eyes were full of confusion, "Didn't you say that to your boyfriend, uh what did he do, he cheated, and then, ah I don't even know what I'm saying!"
"Okay okay shut up already!"
Zheng Shuyi realized her lie probably couldn't last anymore, so she just bluntly said, "I just got the wrong person! I thought Shi Yan was that person's uncle."
Got the wrong person?!
You can mess upon such a thing?!
"Yes yes yes, I know it's very embarrassing, but that's what happened, I got the wrong person!"
Qin Shiyue opened her mouth and after a few seconds, said, "Then, then does my uncle know?"
Zheng Shuyi lowered her head and slowly nodded.
She didn't know how Qin Shiyue would think and how angry she would be.
If she became really angry, well she doesn't even know how to comfort men, how can she comfort a woman?
After a long silence, Qin Shiyue still didn't say anything.
Zheng Shuyi looked back up and saw that she was looking blankly at Shi Yan, not knowing what she was thinking.
She couldn't really say anything either and could only just quietly stay beside her and let her process this information.
As if he felt Qin Shiyue's look, Shi Yan turned his head and looked towards them, then stood up.
Qin Shiyue was frozen in place like a statue. Her eyes weren't even blinking as Shi Yan walked over.
He was holding Zheng Shuyi's jacket in his hand.
He pushed open the door and was greeted by a gust of wind.
Shi Yan frowned and asked, "Why aren't you wearing your jacket?"
He was asking Zheng Shuyi.
She touched her nose and said very quietly, "I forgot."
Shi Yan put on the jacket for her and then looked down at the cherries in her hand. He asked with dissatisfaction, "That small?"
Zheng Shuyi subconsciously covered the basket and didn't forget to push the blame, "Not as if I picked them."
Maybe Zheng Shuyi didn't see, but Qin Shiyue clearly saw Shi Yan's gentle smile.
It was more gentle than the spring breeze.
It was a Shi Yan she had never seen before.
"Hurry up," Shi Yan's smile slowly went away and then turned around, "We're about to go home."
Zheng Shuyi: "Oh…"
After Shi Yan's shadow completely disappeared, Zheng Shuyi looked towards Qin Shiyue.
She was still looking blankly at her like before, but her eyes were different now.
Zheng Shuyi felt like she was looking at her with eyes of admiration.
"So…" Qin Shiyue murmured, "He knew everything and didn't kill you?"
"…… We're in a federal society right now, watch what words you are using."
It was indeed pretty difficult for Qin Shiyue to accept such a thing any time soon, but she also realized something.
"So, being clingy can work that well?"
——
On the way back, Zheng Shuyi held a box of washed cherries and gave one to Shi Yan.
"Want one?"
Shi Yan looked at the driver in front, "No."
Zheng Shuyi was already used to him like this. She quietly withdrew her hand as if nothing had happened.
Then, Shi Yan asked, "What were you talking to Shiyue about today?"
"Mm?"
"When we left, her mind seemed to be somewhere else."
"You observe quite carefully."
Zheng Shuyi lowered her head to eat cherries, "I'm a little unhappy right now, did you realize?"
Shi Yan glanced at her and then smiled.
Zheng Shuyi's mouth didn't bite the cherry that it was about to and asked, "What are you smiling at?"
Shi Yan didn't reply.
In a situation like this, Zheng Shuyi knew that she wouldn't be able to get a word from him.
It was silent all the way until Bay of Clouds. As soon as they entered, Zheng Shuyi started to look for a plastic wrap.
She bent over beside the storage shelf and looked around as she asked, "Can cherries be stored in the fridge? Will they go bad by tomorrow?"
The person behind her didn't reply.
Zheng Shuyi turned her head and saw that Shi Yan was leaning beside the table and picked up a cherry.
"Why didn't you eat when I gave you one before?"
Zheng Shuyi suddenly took away the cherry box from him, "Why are you like this?"
"Because I don't like to eat cherries."
Shi Yan said calmly as he took the box back from her.
Zheng Shuyi was a little dumbfounded, "Then what are you doing right now?"
Shi Yan reached out his leg and blocked in front of Zheng Shuyi, and then pulled her towards him.
"But I want to watch you eat."
He was smiling as he said this.
This smile was different from when he was in public. The look in his eyes was nothing but seduction.
At this moment, Zheng Shuyi felt like she and Shi Yan were as if a demon and a scholar who both received the wrong script.
When he brought the cherry to her mouth, Zheng Shuyi subconsciously bit down.
After continuously eating a dozen or so, she finally looked up and smiled at him.
"Is it because I look very pretty while eating cherries?"
Shi Yan smiled and didn't admit,
"No."
Zheng Shuyi: ?
"Because I wanted to see how you taste cherry-flavored."
A mouth full of cherry flavors was indeed different from any other kiss before.
With no desire and just a pure kiss, as if playing a game, it looked a little childish yet Zheng Shuyi didn't want to let go at all.
Zheng Shuyi wrapped her hands around his neck and as they kissed, she smiled.
It felt a little itchy and couldn't help but slightly lean backward, and Shi Yan, who had a hand behind her waist, followed her move and leaned forward.
Zheng Shuyi's smiling eyes saw that Shi yan was also smiling.
Tonight, they played around with this little box of cherries and spent a few hours together without even realizing it.
On the long spring night, the moon shined bright.
The person in front silently embraced her.
Although there was no verbal promise, Zheng Shuyi could feel that every second they were spending right now would only go to be a tiny part of the future.
——
At the same time, Wang Meiru, who was still at Qingan, received the news much later than the younger generation. It took her a few days to realize that people have been sharing some links about "Song Lelan" in her Moments.
Naturally, Wang Meiru knew who she was, after all, there were many of her CDs Zheng Shuyi had collected.
She clicked into a link and looked around and thought that it was all just gossip.
Mrs. Wang wasn't very interested in the entertainment industry. After strolling around, she decided to click out of the page.
But just as her thumb moved, her eyes suddenly noticed the picture of a young man that looked very familiar.
After all, she has been a homeroom teacher for many years already. As a person who could remember all the new student's names in a month, it wasn't hard for her to remember Shi Yan's face.
She lifted her glasses, took a screenshot, and sent it to Zheng Shuyi.
——
Right before taking a shower, Zheng Shuyi's phone suddenly rang twice.
Breeder: Yo, isn't this your boyfriend?
Zheng Shuyi: Wow, you saw it too?
Zheng Shuyi: The news sure spreads fast nowadays, almost the whole country knows. Everyone is coming to me to ask about it, it's so annoying.
Breeder: You're quite deep into the play.
Zheng Shuyi: ?
Zheng Shuyi: Mom! He's really my boyfriend!
Wang Meiru didn't reply to her, she must have slept.
Zheng Shuyi didn't feel like arguing either and put down her phone and went to take her shower.
When Shi Yan walked in, the phone on the bed was ringing.
Seeing that it was a Wechat call, he knocked on the bathroom door.
"Shuyi."
Zheng Shuyi was showering and was also playing music, so she didn't hear him.
But the phone was still ringing.
Shi Yan didn't think much more and clicked the answer button.
Wang Meiru: "Yiyi, are you still awake, what are you doing?"
Shi Yan: "She's showering."
“……”
The other end of the phone suddenly turned silent.
After a long time, Wang Meiru spoke again, this time, her voice was as serious as the Dean of Students in her school.
"You are?"
——
After showering, Zheng Shuyi didn't blow her hair dry immediately. She put on her pajamas and walked out. She dried her hair with a towel as she asked, "Were you saying something just now?"
Shi Yan sat on the sofa and looked at her, "Yeah, answered a call."
Zheng Shuyi gave an "oh" and was about to go back in to blow her hair, but Shi Yan suddenly continued, "Answered your call."
"Mm?"
Zheng Shuyi wasn't angry about how Shi Yan answered her call without her permission and just asked, "Who was it? Editor Tang?"
"No, your mom."
Zheng Shuyi: "……"
She slowly turned her body around and her face also turned much more concerned, "What did she say to you?"
Shi Yan didn't really understand what Wang Meiru's last sentence meant, so he repeated to her word for word.
"She told you to wait, she's on her way to get Andy Lau."
