Quick Transmigration: Why did you provoke him? He's love-struck!

Chapter 271 Thorny Rose (28)

The landlord went upstairs cursing.

Yan Zhen stood there for a while, composed himself, and walked out of the building.

Song Yi smiled as soon as he saw her, took a few quick steps to greet her, and naturally took her hand: "Come on, let's go to my house for breakfast."

Yan Zhen glanced at him again, but didn't pull away. She paid more attention to Song Yi's seemingly unintentional little actions than usual.

Is it normal for Song Yi to be like this?

Is this the kind of behavior that would occur between normal, close friends?

It seems normal.

But it feels weird, like something's not quite right.

Forty minutes later, the car drove into a large European-style manor.

After driving for nearly fifteen minutes through endless lawns, flowerbeds, trees trimmed in various shapes, and huge sculpted fountains, we finally arrived at our destination: a magnificent and splendid building that resembled a palace.

After getting out of the car, Yan Zhen stood at the foot of the long steps of the "palace," looking at the behemoth-like mansion before him, his brows furrowing slightly.

The Song family was far wealthier than she had imagined.

With her overwhelming wealth and power, once Song Yi takes a liking to her, it will be difficult for her to escape his grasp.

Yan Zhen had no desire to engage in a forced love story of "domineering female CEO x poor maid" with a girl a year younger than him in this world.

If possible, she wants to resolve this peacefully within the most controllable range possible.

"What are you standing there for?" Song Yi took her hand again. "Come on, let's go inside."

Yan Zhen obediently followed Song Yi into the mansion, through the carpeted hall, and into the dining room.

After having breakfast served by more than a dozen servants, Song Yi enthusiastically invited Yan Zhen to try out his newly purchased gaming equipment in the game room on the second floor.

Upon arriving at the game room, Yan Zhen immediately recognized the holographic gaming equipment that had already been installed as a newly developed European game console that she had casually mentioned to Song Yi on social media.

It is not yet available for sale in China.

There's no doubt that this game console was bought to welcome her arrival.

Yan Zhen showed a perfectly measured smile as he took the holographic helmet from Song Yi, and the two sat down to play games.

After playing several games in a row, Song Yi suddenly took off his helmet and asked Yan Zhen, "What's wrong with you?"

"Huh?" Yan Zhen asked, puzzled.

Song Yi reached out and took off her helmet as well: "You seem distracted, are you preoccupied?"

Yan Zhen paused, then pretended to be sleepy and pinched his brow: "I didn't sleep well last night."

"Why?" Song Yi leaned closer to her. "Are you having trouble at work, or is your rented apartment too noisy?"

Yan Zhen thought of Huang Mao and casually said, "That Huang Mao next door often comes back late at night, and the noise he makes when he closes the door is too loud. I haven't been sleeping well lately, and I was thinking of moving to your place."

Song Yi's eyes lit up.

Yan Zhen continued, "But this morning the landlord told me that Huang Mao was injured and hospitalized, and has already terminated the lease."

"..." Song Yi sat on the carpet, moved a couple of steps closer to her, and said eagerly, "He moved out. What if an even noisier tenant comes? Why don't you move into my place? I have lots of empty rooms, and we can play games together in the future."

Yan Zhen shook his head: "No need."

Song Yi: "..."

Yan Zhen changed the subject: "By the way, where are your family?"

Song Yi was clearly a little unhappy, her voice muffled: "No."

"Ok?"

“I have no family; they are all dead.”

Yan Zhen paused for a moment, then said, "I'm sorry."

"What are you apologizing for? You didn't kill him."

Song Yi made a small joke, but Yan Zhen's eyelids twitched slightly upon hearing it.

Knowing herself and her enemy, she became interested in finding out more, so she pretended to be curious and asked, "Why...why are your parents gone?"

Song Yi didn't hide anything and briefly explained it.

“When I was a child, my father cheated on me, my mother became depressed and committed suicide, my father married a stepmother, and my stepmother was in a car accident in her late pregnancy. She and her unborn son died. When my father received the news, he couldn’t bear it and had a heart attack and died.”

A few words pieced together a tragic family tragedy.

But Song Yi spoke these words with a blank expression, as calmly as if she were talking about someone else's affairs.

"Is there no one else in your family?" Yan Zhen asked. "Relatives or anything..."

Otherwise, how could Song Yi manage such a large estate and support the huge industry behind its enormous expenditures all by himself?

Song Yi said, "I have a cousin who comes over often. We're quite close. He helps manage the family company, and he'll hand it over to me after I graduate from university."

The words were clear.

She picked up the game manual, seemingly focused on it, but in reality, she was trying to construct Song Yi's childhood journey based on his background and analyze the reasons for his personality formation.

Not long after, Yan Zhen felt a weight on her lap as Song Yi lay down next to her, resting his head on her thigh and casually taking her hand to play with it.

Yan Zhen: "..."

She pretended to be reading the instructions carefully and didn't pull her hand out.

Song Yi would sometimes put her five fingers together, and sometimes separate them, interlocking his fingers with hers as if her hands were some kind of toy, which he was having a great time playing with.

Seeing that Yan Zhen didn't react, he tentatively used her hand to gently touch his cheek, and turned his head accordingly, his lips intentionally or unintentionally brushing against her palm.

"..." Yan Zhen felt a chill run down his spine.

That's enough!

This is absolutely not normal!!!

Whose "best friend" would secretly kiss someone's hand?!

Could Song Yi be a lesbian?

But I don't like girls!!!

Yan Zhen felt like a million grass mud horses were galloping through his mind, but he tried his best to remain calm. He subtly withdrew his hand to pick up the holographic helmet on the ground, while his eyes kept glancing at Song Yi's face.

As expected, he showed a hint of disappointment when he withdrew his hand.

But soon, Song Yi sat up, leaning against her as if he had no bones, his chin resting on her shoulder.

He was the same way when the two of them lived in Dexian Building. Yan Zhen didn't take it to heart before, thinking that he was just young and liked to act cute, so she let him be.

But now that she knows he might be a lesbian and has ulterior motives towards her, she immediately feels repulsed and awkward when he approaches her.

As Song Yi leaned closer, she said casually, "Do you have coffee? I'm so sleepy, I need to perk myself up."

But Song Yi clearly didn't want to let her go. Not only did he stay clingy and sticky next to her, but he also took advantage of the situation by putting one arm around her waist: "If you're sleepy, just sleep for a while. It's not like you're at work and need to stay awake all the time."

Yan Zhen: "..."

Would she dare to sleep at his house?

Who knows what might happen if I fall asleep?!

"If I sleep during the day, I can't sleep at night, and my sleep schedule gets messed up," Yan Zhen said. "If there's no coffee, a beverage will do."

Song Yi reluctantly let go of her and took out his tablet from the sofa behind him to order food.

Upon seeing this, Yan Zhen immediately said, "Do you remember the cold drink I taught you to make with two different beverages last time? I want to drink that one. Go and teach your family how to make it."

Song Yi thought for a moment, then stood up and said, "Okay, wait for me."

Having finally gotten rid of Song Yi, Yan Zhen immediately put down the instruction manual in his hand and rubbed the goosebumps on his arms.

Although she knew she was usually lucky with men, it was normal for her to attract attention now that she had Lin Xun's face.

But she never expected that she would also attract other women.

Song Yi is very rich and beautiful, but as a straight woman who is attracted to men, she can't handle it.
