Accidental Love

Chapter 26: Super Jealous! Can't You Feel It?!

Zheng Shuyi: And can you guess how he replied?

Bi Ruoshan: Um? Let me guess, he doesn't want to see you eat hot pot alone?

Zheng Shuyi: No, he said he didn't want to see me in a mental hospital ?

Zheng Shuyi: Then he stared at me and said "Oscar Winner". Can you believe that??? How can one say something like that???

Bi Ruoshan: Stinky man.

Bi Ruoshan: Who would want to leave our human aesthetics enlightenment Zheng Shuyi?

Zheng Shuyi: Right?

Bi Ruoshan: Remember to send me an invitation to your wedding.

Zheng Shuyi: Okay, I won't forget.

After Zheng Shuyi finished replying to Bi Ruoshan's messages, the car was heading toward the road already.

She raised her head and glanced at Shi Yan in the driver's seat. When she was about to say something, Shi Yan's phone rang.

Zheng Shuyi could only just place her phone away and look down at her fingers.

The green street light zoomed past their heads. The car was driving really fast and Shi Yan just looked at the road as if he didn't hear the phone ring at all.

"Um"

After waiting for a while, Zheng Shuyi was about to raise her finger and point to the phone placed on the center console, "Your phone is ringing, if you don't have time to answer it, then I"

Shi Yan raised his eyebrows, and interrupted, "My niece."

Zheng Shuyi's tone immediately changed, "Then I can hang up for you."

""

Shi Yan tilted his head and glanced at Zheng Shuyi lightly.

Zheng Shuyi's had a calm expression and even blinked twice.

Shi Yan studied her and then said, "You seem to have a lot of problems with my niece?"

"What do you mean?" Zheng Shuyi smiled as she turned to look at the car window, "I don't even know who your niece is, how could I have any problems with her? And I bet your niece must be as good-looking as you right? I like good-looking people."

Shi Yan smiled softly. The car happened to come across a red light and Shi Yan picked up the phone.

"Sure."

"Do whatever you want."

Shi Yan just said these five words, but Qin Shiyue on the other end of the phone seemed to have received the strongest support and immediately became determined.

This was what happened.

When she first called Shi Yan, there were already many bystanders checking out the scene of the "car accident".

Qin Shiyue was really scared at first. This was the first time she met a problem like this and her head went completely blank. She was overwhelmed with nervousness and flustered emotions, in fear that she accidentally killed someone.

At that time, the old man was lying on the ground, clutching his legs and stomach and groaning in pain. Qin Shiyue could only squat down beside him and ask, "What's the matter? I'm just parking my car, how did you end up like this?"

The old man just continued to yell in pain. She quickly took out her phone in a panic, "Ambulance, where's the ambulance? Where's the police?"

Just as she was about to dial the number, the old man slapped her phone out of her hand and said, "I'm not going to the hospital! I can't breathe there. You, you just give me five thousand Yuan and I'll go."

Qin Shiyue stayed there being confused for a very long time.

Until some bystanders muttered, "I'm afraid this old man saw that this little girl is driving a wealthy sports car and came here to pengci."1Pengci is a term referring to people who fake that they got hit by a vehicle and demand a huge sum of compensation money. Basically incident-faking extortionists. This used to happen a lot but as more and more cars have car cameras, it's doesn't happen as often anymore. 

Qin Shiyue was taken aback a bit. Then she suddenly understood something.

So when Chen Sheng rushed to the scene after receiving the call from Shi Yan, the scene was completely different from what he had imagined.

He had thought that Qin Shiyue would be hiding in the car waiting for him to go save her. But in front of his eyes, she was standing on the steps, carrying her Hermes in hand, and pointing to the old man on the floor with nail polish on her fingers that was brighter than the street lights.

"No! Don't even think about it!"

"Yes, so what I'm rich? Don't even think about blackmailing a single cent from me!"

"Five thousand?! Don't even think about fifty cents!"

"I'd rather spend five million to buy trash than let you scam five thousand away from me. Go dream on!"

"Sure, go ahead! Call the police! As if I'm afraid of you!"

Chen Sheng almost had a headache as he watched. "Isn't it just five thousand Yuan? Let's just give it to him and send him away." 

But Qinshiyue refused.

"Why would we give it to him?! Don't give him a penny! Our family's money doesn't fall from the sky!"

Qin Shiyue's stubbornness left Chen Sheng helpless. And after he called Shi Yan, his attitude was still "just let her do whatever she wants".

Chen Sheng had no other choice but to stay there and watch her argue.

The next morning, it just rained and the ground was still wet. The air was damp and cold.

In addition to the fact that the New Year's holiday was approaching, almost no one was in the mood to work. The whole building was filled with chatting and loud noises.

By the time Qin Shiyue stepped into the company, it was almost twelve o'clock already.

And before she arrived at the office, she was stopped and scolded by the head of the personnel department.

Yet her face was full of exhaustion and her eyes were barely staying open. In short, she looked like she could fall asleep while standing up. While listening to the head of the personnel department, words went in through her left ear and came back out her right. She just responded "okay" every now and then.

Everyone knew that the head of the personnel department was in a bad mood today. Seeing her getting angrier and angrier, Zheng Shuyi quickly went over to calm everything down and pulled Qin Shiyue away.

"I'll talk to her, I'll talk to her," Zheng Shuyi pulled her away as she pointed to the pantry behind. "Sister Chen, the water you were waiting for boiled already."

The head got Zheng Shuyi out of the situation and didn't say anything more as she walked away in her high heels.

Qin Shiyue returned to her desk with Zheng Shuyi and started to sleep as soon as she placed her bag down.

Zheng Shuyi poked her head gently, "Did you steal a cow last night? You are late eight times this month. You really don't want to pass the internship period don't you?"

"Forget it," Qin Shiyue suddenly raised her head and looked at her with a pair of lifeless eyes, "I stayed at the traffic control office until two o'clock yesterday before going home."

"What happened?" asked Zheng Shuyi.

Qin Shiyue roughly explained the story, making all the colleagues around her speechless.

I mean, she's rich, I guess it makes sense.

If she didn't want to spend the money, no one could take a single penny away from her.

When the colleagues slowly left, Zheng Shuyi whispered, "You could have told me. I'd let our boss know in advance and you wouldn't be scolded anymore."

Qin Shiyue rubbed her face and sighed, "Yeah okay, I'll let you know next time I meet a pengci."

Zheng Shuyi: ""

You didn't have to jinx yourself like that

"Where are your parents?" asked Zheng Shuyi, "They didn't come to help?"

"Both of my parents are abroad," Qin Shiyue placed her head down and her voice became weaker and weaker, "My uncle didn't come to care about me either."

"What?! That's terrible!"

Zheng Shuyi thought, although Qin Shiyue is a little squeamish, it is very normal for a little girl to panic in such a situation. I understand how it feels without support from my family, it feels as if the sky is about to fall down. "He should have come to you, did he just let you be bullied on the street? What kind of uncle is he?"

Qin Shiyue sneered, "Perhaps he was being strangled by a little monster. Probably having fun with his woman."

Sigh, men. 

"That's even worse!" muttered Zheng Shuyi, "What can be more important than his own niece? Back then, if such a person was a ruler, he would be those who end up ruining their whole country."

After speaking, Qin Shiyue did not reply. She has already fallen asleep.

The afternoon time was stretched long in everyone's drowsiness.

Zheng Shuyi also laid her head on her table for a while. However, she didn't feel sleepy and just stared at her phone in front of him.

Since she was so bored, she opened WeChat and clicked into the chatbox with Shi Yan, and then sent a meaningless sticker.

Unexpectedly, Shi Yan actually replied really quickly.

Shi Yan: Airport.

Zheng Shuyi: Huh??

Shi Yan: I'm at the airport.

Zheng Shuyi: To where?

Shi Yan: America.

Zheng Shuyi felt a little sad as she sighed for a long time and typed a few words unconsciously.

Zheng Shuyi: Then when will you come back?

Shi Yan: ?

Zheng Shuyi didn't even think as she typed.

Zheng Shuyi: I miss you~

A rain of stars fell from the screen. It didn't look real and the special effects even looked a bit cheap.2When you type certain words in WeChat, it would trigger certain special effects. Ex: Happy birthday would make the screen rain cakes and I miss you would make the screen rain stars. Im pretty sure iMessage and other texting apps are also starting to incorporate such animations.

Shi Yan looked at his phone as the stars slowly fell down the screen and slowly disappeared.

Zheng Shuyi: Oh? You can make stars fall on the screen?

Zheng Shuyi: Let me try again.

"We're about to take off."

Chen Sheng suddenly reminded Shi Yan.

"Okay."

Shi Yan loosened his tie and glanced at his phone one last time.

Zheng Shuyi: I miss you~

Zheng Shuyi: Wow there it is again!

Stars appeared on the screen again.

He smiled. 

The loose pre-holiday working days passed quickly and boringly. On the last day, many people had already asked to leave in advance to go have fun.

Zheng Shuyi was one of the latest to leave.

She wasn't traveling anywhere, the only thing she had planned was that Bi Ruoshan said that she would come to Jiang City for a few days.

At five oclock, Zheng Shuyi packed up and went to Jiang City International Airport to pick her friend up.

At this time of the year, the airport was also extremely crowded. The arrival hall was also made of people mountain people sea.3Popular Chinese idiom to exaggerate how crowded a place is.

It happened that the plane was delayed for a bit, so Zheng Shuyi leaned against a corner as she waited. She held a cup of hot cocoa in hand and read the flight information over and over again.

When it was getting dark, Bi Ruoshan finally walked out with a suitcase.

The two waved from a distance and started running toward each other while calling each other's names loudly.

When another wave of passengers came out, the two of them finally calmed down and started to walk outside.

"Leave the luggage at my house first," said Zheng Shuyi excitedly, "then we can go eat at the hot pot restaurant right outside our university."

"Ok ok ok! I haven't eaten it in so long, I can't wait!"

The two walked really fast, but when they arrived at the taxi parking spot at the arrival area, they were still stopped by the number of people in line.

"Why so many people?"

Zheng Shuyi looked around and her sight was blocked by countless heads. Probably at least a forty or fifty minutes wait.

"Speechless, really speechless," Bi Ruoshan propped up her arms against her waist, "Why can't all these couples just sleep at home during this holiday? What's so fun about coming out?"

With people coming and going, Zheng Shuyi glanced at Bi Ruoshan, and silently bit the straw.

Speaking of couples, Bi Ruoshan suddenly remembered something and asked, "Oh right, how's the progress of your big business?"

"What?" asked Zheng Shuyi.

"The uncle of the homewrecker!" replied Bi Ruoshan.

"Oh, him"

As soon as Bi Ruoshan mentioned it, Zheng Shuyi carefully started to recall. Shi Yan was gone for a week already, no wonder the recent days felt so long.

Zheng Shuyi looked at the night sky and saw the lights of a plane approaching.

"He went to America, should be back around today."

"I'm not asking where he is, I'm asking how the progress is going."

Zheng Shuyi started to think about this question carefully.

After a few seconds, she frowned.

"It's hard to tell."

The two chatted for another while in the line.

After finishing the hot chocolate in her hand, Zheng Shuyi left the line and walked to the trash can.

After throwing the cup away, she raised her hand, and her eyes suddenly got attracted by the figure at the international arrival exit in the distance.

Shi Yan seemed to have sensed someone looking at him and also looked over.

Ten minutes later, the driver helped to place Bi Ruoshan's suitcase into the trunk.

And Bi Ruoshan stood next to the Rolls-Royce feeling anxious and nervous.

She glanced at Shi Yan who was sitting in the back seat, then at Zheng Shuyi, and made the smart choice to sit in the passenger seat.

"Where's Assistant Chen?" Zheng Shuyi didn't know what else to say, "He didn't come back with you?"

Zheng Shuyi thought, Shi Yan went abroad for business, then Chen Sheng was probably with him as well.

It was strange to see him come back alone.

Shi Yan glanced at her, "Why, did you miss him?"

Zheng Shuyi:?

The atmosphere in the car suddenly sank.

Zheng Shuyi's cell phone suddenly made two buzzes.

She opened it and saw that it was Bi Ruoshan in the front row who sent her some messages.

Bi Ruoshan: What are you waiting for?!

Bi Ruoshan: He's jealous!

Bi Ruoshan: Super jealous! Can't you feel it?!

Zheng Shuyi looked up at the rearview mirror, where Bi Ruoshan blinked toward her meaningfully.

She turned her head slowly, stirring her hair with her fingers, and asked, "Are you jealous?"

Bi Ruoshan: ""

How not to flirt.

This would be the general answer in books.

Sure enough, Shi Yan laughed quietly and Bi Ruoshan's heart was completely dark.

Bi Ruoshan: Sis, if you succeed in the end, I'll shave my head on the spot.

Zheng Shuyi also suddenly realized what she had said.

She messed up again.

Shi Yan, this person was one who must not be offended.

The silence in the car seemed to spread indefinitely.

Fortunately, Bi Ruoshan was a person who couldn't bear the embarrassment. Back in college, she was the leader of conversations. No matter how unfamiliar she was with someone, she could always end up getting the conversation hyped.

In addition, she also graduated with a major in financial journalism. Although she didn't do this anymore, she couldn't sit still and watch this continue anymore. She casually chose a random topic and started to chat with Shi Yan.

At first, Zheng Shuyi was a little worried. Bi Ruoshan was so enthusiastic, if things went wrong, it would be even more embarrassing.

But Shi Yan seemed to be in a good mood today. Although his response to Bi Ruoshan was not as enthusiastic, it was much better than his usual one or two-word reply.

And Bi Ruoshan was a very smart person too. She knew how to relate topics to Zheng Shuyi and make her participate more. So just like this, they chatted throughout the whole way back.

At eight o'clock at night, the car stopped at the gate of the neighborhood.

Bi Ruoshan didn't want to just stand there and watch the driver help her with her luggage, so she quickly got off the car and walked to the trunk to thank him.

Zheng Shuyi slowly unfastened her seat belt, and just when she was about to get off the car, someone grabbed onto her hand.

Her hand that was about to open the door stopped and she turned her head.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier that your friend would be here?"

Shi Yan looked at her and said with a low voice. The sound brushed into Zheng Shuyi's ear as if it was tickling her.

She was stunned for a second.

The car was dimly lit and quiet, and Bi Ruoshan thanking the driver came continuously from behind.

"Huh?"

Then, her voice was followed by the sound of the trunk closing.

Shi Yan let go of her hand and turned to look at his phone.

"Never mind. You should head back."

The wind tonight was particularly strong, but it didn't affect people's excitement for the holidays.

Even the gate of the neighborhood was more lively than usual. There were a lot more vendors and also people selling balloons and lanterns.

Lovers and couples could be seen along the street along with many children who came out to play. New Year's atmosphere has already flooded the whole city.

Bi Ruoshan placed her suitcase down and stood beside Zheng Shuyi.

The driver returned to the driver's seat and started the car.

Bi Ruoshan was enthusiastic to the end. She waved towards the back seat and smiled, "Thank you so much, Mr. Shi, there's a lot of cars today, so be careful while driving back!"

After speaking, she tugged Zheng Shuyi's, who was still standing there in a daze.

With this, Zheng Shuyi suddenly got back to her senses. The fuzzy image of Shi Yan could still be seen in the car.

It was also at this moment that she finally realized what Shi Yan's words meant just now.

Therefore, she smiled and waved, and then sent a flying kiss.

Bi Ruoshan: ""

Her smile froze and tugged Zheng Shuyi's shirt harder.

"Sister, sister, it's too much, too much! Omg, please I beg you don't do this again."

"Really?" Zheng Shuyi touched her face and watched Shi Yan's disappearing car, "I think it's alright."

The window of the car slowly rose up, and the street lights reflected everything on the side of the road.

Yet Zheng Shuyi's figure seemed to be carved into the glass; she stood in front of his eyes for a long time.

The street lights passed by. Shi Yan looked at the window and slightly smiled.
