Chapter 273 Thorny Rose (30)
Yan Zhen struggled several times but couldn't break free. He forced himself to say, "It's so cold. There are hot drinks over there. I'll go buy two cups."
After she finished speaking, she stood up and took the opportunity to pull her hand away from Song Yi's hand that was tightly clasped together.
Song Yi immediately stood up and said, "I'll go too."
"No, there are more and more people. You stay here and reserve a spot. I'll be right back."
She didn't give Song Yi any room to discuss it and quickened her pace.
There were many stalls on the sidewalk next to the square. Yan Zhen stopped in front of a stall selling hot drinks and ordered two cups of hot milk tea with less sugar.
She paid and was waiting for her milk tea to be packed when a few young people who looked like college students came over.
One of the boys, encouraged by his companions, walked up to Yan Zhen and smiled shyly at her, saying, "Hello, Miss."
Yan Zhen looked up. The boy was very tall, wearing a white down jacket. He had regular features and was well-dressed. When he smiled, he had sweet dimples on his cheeks.
"Is there something you need?" Yan Zhen asked.
"You're so pretty, can I add you on WeChat?" the boy said. "I'm a freshman at X University."
Yan Zhen shook his head: "No, I'm only in high school. My family is very strict and doesn't allow me to date."
After being rejected by her, the boy looked embarrassed and said, "I just wanted to be friends."
Yan Zhen shook his head again: "I'm sorry."
The boy could only give up: "Sorry to bother you."
He turned and left.
Yan Zhen picked up the packaged milk tea and prepared to return to the square. However, when she turned around, she found Song Yi standing three meters away, coldly staring in the direction the boy had left.
Yan Zhen's heart skipped a beat, but she walked over calmly and asked, "Why are you here?"
Song Yi looked away, took the milk tea from her hand with one hand, and took her hand with the other: "There are too many people, I was worried you would get lost."
“I’m not a child. It’s you who’s gone. With you leaving, someone else will take that great spot.”
"No, I'll have the housekeeper reserve a seat there."
Back at the square, the butler was indeed dutifully guarding his spot, and only left when they returned.
The two chatted while drinking milk tea, and soon the drone show began.
After watching for more than ten minutes, Song Yi handed the milk tea to Yan Zhen: "Hold this for me, I'm going to the restroom."
"it is good."
Yan Zhen sat there holding two cups of milk tea, then suddenly came to her senses.
No, Song Yi didn't go to the restroom.
She immediately chased after him in the direction he had just left.
Song Yi walked out of the square, but instead of going to the restroom, he turned onto the sidewalk.
The sidewalk was lined with stalls, and there were many people coming and going. Even so, he quickly spotted the boy in the white down jacket. He was leaning against the steps on the right side of the sidewalk, chatting and laughing with three other boys of similar age.
There was a river right below the steps, and the boy could easily tumble down the steps and fall into the river with just a gentle push.
In this cold weather, even if he doesn't drown, it will teach him a lesson.
With a plan in mind, Song Yi walked towards the group of boys with a clear goal in mind.
The boys had their backs to Song Yi and were completely unaware of the impending danger.
Just as Song Yi approached, preparing to "accidentally" knock the boy down the steps, someone suddenly rushed out from the side, grabbed his arm without saying a word, and pulled him to the side.
Song Yi was taken aback.
When he saw that the person who came was Yan Zhen, whose face did not look good, his heart skipped a beat.
Yan Zhen led the person to a secluded spot before asking, "Song Yi, what were you trying to do just now?"
Song Yi: "...didn't do anything."
"You really didn't do anything?"
"..."
"I'm asking you one last time, what were you trying to do just now?" Yan Zhen's tone became stern.
“…” Song Yi was silent for a while before saying, “He’s harassing you.”
"No."
"He has it. He asked you for your WeChat and wants to date you."
“I refused, and he gave up. He didn’t pester me or curse at me for rejecting him, so it’s not harassment.” Yan Zhen felt a chill in her heart, and her tone became increasingly unfriendly.
She guessed that Song Yi was behind Sun Yue and Qi Su's troubles, but guessing and seeing it with her own eyes are two different things.
Witnessing Song Yi attempt to attack a stranger whose name she didn't even know left her with mixed feelings.
Song Yi opened her mouth, lowered her eyelashes, and said, "I'm sorry."
"You shouldn't apologize to me; you should apologize to Sun Yue and Qi Su."
Song Yi suddenly raised her head, looking at Yan Zhen in disbelief: "You... you knew everything?"
“Hmm,” Yan Zhen said, indicating that she planned to confront Song Yi.
This behavior must be stopped immediately. He used to target people around her, but today he wanted to teach that person a lesson just because someone struck up a conversation with her.
If this mentality is allowed to continue, it will eventually lead to someone's death.
Song Yi: "...I should have guessed it sooner, you're so smart."
"Why?" Yan Zhen asked, "Why did you do this?"
Song remained silent.
Yan Zhen changed his question: "Do you like girls?"
After a long pause, Song Yi nodded gently: "Mm."
"like me?"
"Ah."
"But I don't like it."
Song Yi frowned: "Do you not like me, or do you not like girls?"
"I don't like it either."
Song Yi: "..."
“I consider you a friend,” Yan Zhen said earnestly. “You shouldn’t have hidden your orientation from me. If I had known you liked girls, I wouldn’t have moved into Dexian Building.”
Song Yi opened his mouth: "What if I were a boy?"
Yan Zhen was stunned. Her first thought was that Song Yi was going to have sex reassignment surgery for her.
Her brows furrowed even deeper: "Don't do this, Song Yi. I've never thought about developing a relationship with you beyond friendship. Whether you're a man or a woman, I don't like you, understand?"
Song Yi's expression darkened slightly. He turned his face away and said defiantly, "I don't understand."
"You're making things difficult for me," Yan Zhen said, shoving the milk tea into Song Yi's hand and taking a step back. "You can't control your feelings, and I can't give you the response you want. Let's not see each other again. It's better for both of us."
After she finished speaking, she turned and left.
Behind him, Song Yi stood there in a daze, the milk tea in her hand falling to the ground with a "plop".
He didn't come to his senses until Yan Zhen's figure was almost out of his sight, and he took off after him.
"Lin Xun! Lin Xun!"
Yan Zhen heard the shouts behind him, hesitated for a moment, turned around, and saw Song Yi staggering after him, accidentally knocking over a little girl holding a helium balloon.
The little girl fell to the ground, and the helium balloon in her hand floated away. She was so frightened that she cried loudly.
The child's parents immediately grabbed Song Yi and wouldn't let him leave, demanding compensation and an apology.
While Song Yi took out his phone to transfer money to the other person to compensate him, he kept glancing in Yan Zhen's direction. He was so anxious that he almost dropped his phone.
Yan Zhen: "..."
Her hesitation lasted only three seconds. Then, while Song Yi was scanning the girl's parents' payment QR code, she quickly disappeared into the crowd and left without looking back.
Whether Song Yi was originally a "bad person" or he did those things out of jealousy after meeting her, continuing to stay with him is not a wise choice.
Since you're planning to stay away from him, then do it decisively.
