Accidental Love

In broad daylight, an invisible glass dome seemed to have suddenly covered the one-meter radius worth of space around the car. Kang. Inside and outside of the glass turned into two different worlds.

Outside of the "glass dome", the weather was clear and the sun was bright, but inside, even all the air seemed to be drained completely.

Except for Shi Yan, everyone in the glass dome was surprised out of their minds by what they just witnessed.

The driver looked at Qin Lezhi, Qin Lezhi looked at Zheng Shuyi, Zheng Shuyi looked at Shi Yan, and Yue Xingzhou didn't even know who he should be looking at.

Zheng Shuyi felt like she was being suffocated alive.

Shi Yan was probably the only one who was still breathing normally and thinking properly.

Because of this, when Zheng Shuyi discovered that Shi Yan wanted to learn more about the situation, she felt her whole body feel numb and a thought popped out in her mind: Crap.

My life is about to end here.

When she opened her mouth, her throat seemed to be stuffed and she couldn't say anything.

The breaths of death excluding this small space were so obvious that even Chen Yueding could see it.

As the host, although he didn't understand what was happening at the moment, he couldn't just stand there and do nothing.

When he came out, he heard a classmate talk about the issue between Zheng Shuyi and Qin Lezhi.

Now seeing all the people gathered together, he had to step forward and try to ease the scene.

Through the car window, Chen Yueding said, "Shuyi, uh… it's my fault, I didn't arrange everything properly, I'm really sorry, I…"

"Huh? Oh." Zheng Shuyi's mind was finally pulled back to reality by Chen Yueding's voice.

But her eyes were still in a daze and it took a second for her to find where the voice came from, then replied, "No, no it's okay, I should be apologizing for all the trouble at your wedding."

Shi Yan's gaze swept across Zheng Shuyi and went through the two before finally landing on the group of people behind Chen Yueding.

After such a scene at the wedding, some curious people followed out to watch the fun, and of course, there were naturally those who arrived early explaining the story.

"I'm not really sure, I think that the girl in the yellow dress said that the other girl was a mistress of an executive or something, which made her so pissed that she left on the spot."

"Is that the man in the car?"

"Of course not, he's so young, how can he be the one?"

"Then what's going on right now?"

"I'm not sure, probably her real boyfriend showed up and now the situation is getting embarrassing."

"Oh, if it was me, I'd be ripping that girl's mouth off right now."

The people eating melon probably knew that more and more people would be coming out, so they didn't try to keep their voices low at all.

Which gave Shi Yan a general idea of what was going on.

At the moment, Zheng Shuyi was still talking to Chen Yueding.

Chen Yueding poked his head a little further and said quietly, "I really didn't expect that she would cause you all this trouble in public. I don't really know her really well either, I'm very sorry. I'll apologize to you privately again later."

After that, he glanced at Shi Yan with an apologetic look.

"No, it's okay, it's okay," Zheng Shuyi waved her hand over and over again.

As the bridegroom, Chen Yueding was also a victim, how could Zheng Shuyi make him apologize?

"It's just a misunderstanding and it's not your fault. There's really no need, just forget it."

But as soon as she finished speaking, a cold voice sounded behind her.

"Just forget it?"

Shi Yan raised his hand, moved around Zheng Shuyi's back, and placed his hand on the armrest while looking at Qin Lezhi outside the window, "You caused trouble on my person and just forget it? Have you asked me yet?"

His words had different effects on different people.

For example, when Qin Lezhi and the driver heard it, they immediately felt a chill up their back.

But when Zheng Shuyi heard it, she straightened her back intensely.

No please, please don't say anything, you don't know the full story yet…

Qin Lezhi had her heart in her throat, and in the chilly wind, a thin layer of sweat appeared on her forehead.

Shi Yan might not know who she was, but she knew exactly who this person in front of her was.

"Mr. Shi…" As Qin Lezhi's elder, although the driver didn't know what happened, seeing such a scene, he naturally had to come up and speak for his niece.

But before he had any time to ease the situation down…

After seeing Shi Yan's eyes, he didn't dare to continue talking and could only keep giving glances at Qin Lezhi.

Qin Lezhi's face turned from blue to white, and then looked back at Yue Xingzhou, hoping to get support from him.

But Yue Xingzhou's expression was very strange. He stared directly at Zheng Shuyi and Shi Yan, his eyes showing various complex emotions.

No one could help her.

Qin Lezhi held back for a while and finally uttered a few words.

"Mr. Shi, it's actually because…"

Shi Yan interrupted her, "I didn't ask for your explanation."

He still didn't know what exactly happened yet.

But he knew that Zheng Shuyi, who dared to do whatever she wanted in front of him, was bullied here.

The attitude of "I don't want to listen to the process and the truth, I just want you to lower your head and apologize" was put onto Qin Lezhi.

After a long time, she tightened her sleeves, faced Zheng Shuyi, and said while clenching her teeth, "Sorry, I’m sorry."

Shi Yan raised his chin, "That's it?"

"I…" Qin Lezhi had no more choice, she bowed as if her waist was suddenly broken, "Miss Zheng, I'm really sorry, I said something that I shouldn't say without even knowing anything, it's all my fault. Please, please forgive me for my recklessness."

Zheng Shuyi: "…"

No, the person who's reckless is not you, it's me.

She wanted to cry, but as the scene lasted longer and longer, she realized that she must keep the act in front of Shi Yan.

So, she put out a look of finally releasing her anger, smiled coldly, and waved stiffly at her, "Whatever, I won't keep arguing with you anymore."

After she finished speaking, Shi Yan slowly retracted his gaze from Qin Lezhi.

But Zheng Shuyi did not feel better at all because of Qin Lezhi's apology.

Instead… she felt more nervous.

She glanced around and analyzed her current situation.

There was a "real” uncle in front and a "fake" uncle on the side.

Suddenly, she felt like the seat under her was boiling hot.

Therefore, Zheng Shuyi quietly reached out her hand towards the door handle bit by bit, trying to open the car door without anyone noticing.

But before even touching the handle, Shi Yan suddenly spoke, "Let's go."

The driver immediately started the car.

Without showing any mercy to the person beside the car.

And didn't give Zheng Shuyi the chance to leave.

The momentum from the car made Zheng Shuyi lean back onto the seat and her lips froze in place.

——

After the chicken fight, all that was left were feathers.

One of the most special days in Chen Yueding's life turned into this. He glared at Qin Lezhi, but the person he was angry at was Yue Xingzhou.

"Look at what you've done! What did I ever do to you?!"

After speaking, he didn't give the two a chance to apologize and went straight back to the hotel.

Everyone else, after witnessing such a drama, whispered and pointed endlessly.

A few classmates who have been fighting for Zheng Shuyi at first directly started to say:

"Some people… she's the one who did shameful things first and thinks that everyone else is just like her."

"In the invitation letter, they said to bring family and friends, but why did this person only bring a mouth and not a brain?"

"Whatever whatever, let's go. The food is going to get cold, I still have to eat."

After what had happened, Yue Xingzhou and Qin Lezhi didn't have the courage to return to the banquet.

The cold wind blew a few dead leaves into the air.

Qin Lezhi glanced towards the air, feeling like even the leaves were laughing at her.

The two stood on the empty fountain square. Like two sculptures, neither of them moved.

After a long time, Yue Xingzhou finally spoke, "What's going on?"

"What what’s going on, I just made a mistake," said Qin Lezhi with her back towards him, "When I saw her at our company and Mr. Qiu being so protective of her, of course, I thought…"

"I'm not asking you this."

Yue Xingzhou interrupted her suddenly, "What's going on with your uncle?"

His words, like a sharp knife, cut off the last tense nerve of Qin Lezhi.

She stood motionlessly, but no one knew that her life and soul were slowly dissolving, and all the unpleasant memories uncontrollably started to reappear in her mind.

Since being with Yue Xingzhou, the "sense of security" was like a beam of light in the sky. She could see it, but no matter how hard she tried, he couldn't reach it.

Because she knew in her heart, the reason why Yue Xingzhou chose to come with her was only partially because of love.

She knew all of that, but she chose to walk her own path. On some nights, she even comforted herself by saying that everyone had feelings, even if Yue Xingzhou was staying with her for money, he would love her for real in the end.

And her family was considered pretty wealthy. Her dad had a small auto parts factory. Although it wasn't some big company, she thought that it should be enough for Yue Xingzhou.

But it didn't take long for her to discover that Yue Xingzhou was much more greedy than she had expected.

She was admitted to the hospital late that night after a sudden illness and could only contact her uncle at the moment.

Like that, Yue Xingzhou thought that her uncle was the owner of that Rolls Royce.

Because during this period of time, he would always mention this every once in a while, as if trying to hint something to Qin Lezhi.

Qin Lezhi was not stupid, and immediately figured out what he meant. Although she felt uncomfortable, she wanted to maintain this relationship, so she didn't have the courage to tell him the truth and only vaguely changed the topic every time.

But now, she couldn't keep pretending.

"What's wrong with my uncle?" Qin Lezhi's eyes were red as she turned back to him, "What does my uncle have to do with you?"

"You…" Yue Xingzhou was dumbfounded, and looked at Qin Lezhi incredulously, "You, you, you…" after so many "you"s, he still didn't manage to say something.

"What about me? Did I ever say who my uncle was?"

At this moment, all of Qin Lezhi's emotions found an outlet and burst out of there. In addition to the humiliation just then, tears started to flow down her cheeks.

"It's all your own imagination! And now you blame me? You're really not a man at all!"

Yue Xingzhou's mouth was left half-open. A tall man like him suddenly felt like he was about to fall off the face of this planet.

——

And he wasn't the only person who felt that way.

Ever since leaving the hotel, the car window hasn’t been closed.

Gusts of cold wind blew in and swept across Zheng Shuyi's face like blades.

At this moment, she really hoped that a few knives would fall from the sky and pierce her to death.

"Do you feel very hot?"

Shi Yan finally spoke.

"Huh?" Zheng Shuyi touched her face, it was burning, "No, it's not cold."

Shi Yan glanced at her and didn't mention the window again, "What happened today, care to explain?"

"Explain, explain what?"

Zheng Shuyi's nerves were tenser than ever. She was pretty much relying on her instinct to survive, "Oh, about them? It's nothing big, it's just that woman was saying bad things about me at the banquet."

"Oh…" Shi Yan nodded slightly, but he didn't seem particularly interested in this question.

He lowered his head and stared at Zheng Shuyi, "And whose aunt are you trying to become?"

Zheng Shuyi suddenly shivered. Her heart seemed to have jumped out of her chest and her brain almost shut down.

She gave the front driver a stiff look.

"Ha, haha, I'm so young, what aunt, he thought of me as the wrong person."

Shi Yan let out a quiet sneer, his face full of disbelief.

Did he think of his ex-girlfriend as her aunt? That's some incredible story you made up.

But he didn't want to ask for the details either.

He didn't want to know what was going on between her and her ex-boyfriend.

But Zheng Shuyi didn't know what Shi Yan was thinking and was afraid that he would continue asking. So she could only quickly change the topic.

"Oh, by the way, you, why did you come here suddenly?"

Hearing this, Shi Yan glanced at her flushed face, raised his hand to loosen his tie, looked away, and said casually, "To come to look at the stars."

"…?"

Zheng Shuyi was stunned for a moment, and after seeing her reflection from Shi Yan's pupils, her heart skipped a beat.

Look at the stars…

She remembered that when she said "I miss you" on WeChat, the screen was covered with stars.

No way…

Zheng Shuyi almost lost the ability to think as she said dryly, "The air here isn't very good, I don't think you can see the stars."

"…"

Shi Yan frowned and looked over again.

Zheng Shuyi swallowed hard nervously.

At this moment, her phone suddenly rang.

Like finally finding a life jacket in the vast roaring ocean, Zheng Shuyi picked up the call without even looking at who it was from.

"Hello, hello?"

"Sister Shuyi, are you home?"

Qin Shiyue's voice sounded on the other end of the phone, "I'm near your house right now, are you free? Do you want to join me at a hot spring?"

Without even thinking about it, Zheng Shuyi replied, "Oh, ok ok ok."

She desperately needed to leave this battlefield to go rethink life.

When her brain couldn't function properly to think of a plan, fortunately, Qin Shiyue came. Zheng Shuyi didn't care about anything, all she needed right now was this life-saver that could pull her out of the flaming pit.
