Chapter 138 - Running Away In A Panic
Yan Jinyun's smile froze and she almost knocked over the cold drink beside her.
She turned back stiffly and saw Feng Yuan, who was standing there in shock. He seemed to be holding a small cake in his hand.
Feng Yuan swore that he was really just passing by. He saw Yan Jinyu and Yan Jinyun sitting there and felt that it would inevitably hurt their stomachs if they just drank cold drinks without ordering anything to eat. He suddenly recalled that other than drinking, this cold drink shop didn't seem to have any snacks. Hence, he bought a small cake from the cake shop next door to send it to them.
He did not expect to hear such words the moment he arrived. It was simply a "bolt from the blue"!
Yan Jinyun liked him! Yan Jinyun liked him!
Yan Jinyun, this black-hearted girl who never had a friendly expression on her face every time she saw him, actually said that she liked him! She even said that she liked him very much!!
If he hadn't reacted fast enough, the little cake in his hand would have fallen to the ground.
It must be an illusion!
It must be an illusion!
"Y-y-you… I-I-I…"
Yan Jinyun's expression froze for a long time. When she saw the cake in his hand, her stiff expression slowly faded.
She just looked at the shocked and panicked Feng Yuan and said, "That's right, I like you." There was no coyness, and there was no avoidance in her eyes.
When Yan Jinyu heard that, she picked up the drink that Yan Jinyun had already ordered for her and took a sip.
Her personality was very similar to hers. If she liked him, he liked him. She was direct and had nothing to hide.
"I-I-I…"
"I'll treat you two to cake!" Then, he ran over and placed the cake on their table. Then, he turned and ran out of the cold drink shop. He knocked into things three times when she ran out. The first time, his hand hit the table in the shop, another time, his leg hit the chair, and another time, his face hit the closed glass door.
It was tragic and funny.
Yan Jinyun's expression didn't change when he quickly turned around and left, but the light in her eyes gradually dimmed. However, when she saw him escaping in such a panic, the sense of loss in her heart dissipated inexplicably.
She wanted to laugh.
Hence, she really curled her lips and laughed out.
"He left just like that, and you're still smiling. Aren't you sad?"
Yan Jinyun smiled faintly and shook her head, "I'm not sad."
"I was a little disappointed initially, but now, I'm not even disappointed anymore."
Yan Jinyun looked at Yan Jinyu, who was supporting her chin with one hand and playing with the beverage in her hand with the other. Her posture was a little lazy, and she continued, "Although Feng Yuan doesn't do his job well and has nothing to do all day, and his mouth is vicious, he still looks barely passable. He plays basketball well and is good at racing. He's very loyal to people. Basically, other than his academic results, he's quite good at everything else. Among the three school beaus of the Boyu High School, he's one of them. There are actually many girls who like him."
"I've witnessed many young girls confessing to him before. He has never fled in such a panic like now. He calmly rejects everyone who confesses to him, including Xu Xiaoxiao, who has courted him for three years and dated him for a period of time."
"After we went to high school, the person who pestered Feng Yuan the most was Xu Xiaoxiao. Feng Yuan had always ignored her. They even got together because Xu Gui had asked Feng Yuan and Feng Yuan valued righteousness so he agreed casually."
Although she understood, Yan Jinyun still minded every time Xu Xiaoxiao was mentioned, especially after she realized her feelings for Feng Yuan.
"That was considered my confession to him just now. This is the first time he fled in the face of someone else's confession. It's enough to show that I'm different in his heart. As for the rest, since there's this difference and he's the person that I, Yan Jinyun, fancy, he will be mine."
The title of North City's top socialite did not come out of nowhere. Yan Jinyun had always been a proud and confident person.
Yan Jinyun looked at the small cake on the table and asked Yan Jinyu, "Sister, do you like this cake?"
Yan Jinyu shook her head. "No, it's too sweet." She liked sweet and sour things, such as yogurt.
She could be considered as liking it for the time being. After all, other than yogurt, she didn't seem to favor any other food.
"It's what I like." Yan Jinyun's smile widened. "I only eat this flavor whenever I have cake."
Yan Jinyu raised her eyebrows slightly, "Then go ahead."
Yan Jinyun nodded and brought the cake in front of her. She didn't seem to have any intention of asking Yan Jinyu if she wanted to eat it.
If it were Yan Jinyu, she wouldn't share the things that Yin Jiujin had specially bought for her either.
Deep in their bones, Yan Jinyun and Yan Jinyu were actually the same kind of people. They didn't like others to have designs on their stuff, even if they were their closest sisters.
"Aren't you worried that he'll be in danger if he runs out like this? He doesn't seem to be very calm."
Yan Jinyun, who had eaten two mouthfuls of cake, heard that and raised her head to smile at her. "I'm not worried. When he ran out, I glanced at his car parked outside. Xu Gui is sitting in the front passenger seat. Seeing his flustered look, Xu Gui won't let him drive."
Yan Jinyu smiled. No wonder she wasn't anxious at all.
Even with her sharp senses, she didn't notice that there was someone else in Feng Yuan's car parked outside, but Yan Jinyun did.
Indeed, things were different when one was interested.
"But Sister, did you say those words on purpose because you saw Feng Yuan?"
Yan Jinyu smiled faintly, "Yes and no." At the beginning, when she mentioned that Feng Yuan had joined the Feng Corporation and that Feng Yuan had helped Yan Jinyun a lot, it was entirely because she didn't want to stay on that slightly depressing topic. However, just as she finished speaking, she saw Feng Yuan pushing the door open and walking towards them.
The table that they were sitting at wasn't far from the door of the cold drink shop. It was only a short distance away, and Yan Jinyun had her back facing the door. She had long seen through their thoughts about each other, so she wanted to help them.
Now that the Yan Family had become like this, Yan Jinyun was having quite a rough life. With Yan Jinyun's character, she probably wouldn't just find anyone to rant about her sufferings. Of course, she was an exception when facing her sister. She could sense that Yan Jinyun was a little reliant on her.
It was only right for a younger sister to rely on her elder sister.
However, she couldn't accompany Yan Jinyun every day after all. Hence, she could only make someone who could accompany Yan Jinyun appear as soon as possible.
This was also why she suddenly opened her mouth to entice Yan Jinyun to say those words.
"Don't care if I did it on purpose. This is always good, right?"
Yan Jinyun didn't deny it.
Knowing that she liked him, if he cared about the fact that the two of them had known each other for so many years and even argued with each other the moment they met, there would be no more girls like Xu Xiaoxiao who would mysteriously appear beside Feng Yuan.
As long as he remained single, everything was fine.
Feng Yuan was the only weirdo who would agree to date someone's cousin because of their friendship.
Yet, she liked such a weirdo so she was a weirdo too.
"When did Sister discover it?"
"Probably the day I came to this shop for the first time." However, she was only suspicious at that time and was not sure. She could tell it slowly from the few times they interacted later.
Wasn't that the day… when she got someone to block Yan Jinyu?
At the mention of this, the guilt in Yan Jinyu's heart rose again.
Seeing that there was something wrong with her expression, Yan Jinyu smiled and changed the topic, "What about Yun'er? When did you start to like Cousin Feng Yuan?"
Yan Jinyun put down the spoon that she used to eat the cake and took a sip of the cold drink beside her. "I don't know. Perhaps it was not long ago, or even earlier." Ever since she started kindergarten, Feng Yuan would send her birthday presents every year. Even until today, she still kept the birthday gift that he gave her at kindergarten.
She only kept his gift.
There were already 14 gifts from Feng Yuan in the storage box on her desk.
"I really realized my feelings on the day I met Luo Yilin." She was referring to the day Luo Yilin tried to find someone to abduct her.
"If I had known earlier, Xu Xiaoxiao wouldn't have been involved at all."
"Let's not talk about this first. I still have something to tell Sister."
Yan Jinyu looked at her and gestured for her to continue.
"Sister, do you still remember Zhao Yue?"
Yan Jinyu always had a good memory. "Yes, the person whom I sent into the hospital together with Qiu Jian."
Yan Jinyun's lips twitched. There was nothing wrong with saying that.
"That's her. She has already been hospitalized for some time. The Zhao Family naturally knows that her hospitalization has something to do with you. However, due to their fear of Master Nine, the Zhao Family doesn't dare to come and question us. They don't even dare to talk about this privately."
They were indeed smarter than the Qiu Family, Yan Jinyu thought.
"This matter was supposed to be over, but Master Nine suddenly attacked the Qiu Family some time ago. The Zhao Family was afraid that Master Nine's next target would be them, so they pleaded with me."
Actually, once Zhao Yue got into trouble in the Qiu Family, Zhao Yue's father had come to look for her and she easily dealt with him. After that, she didn't even call Yan Jinyu.
She only mentioned it since she asked Yan Jinyu out today.
