Accidental Love

Chapter 47: Actually, It Wasn't All Lies



Zheng Shuyi was the catastrophe in his life.

When Shi Yan stepped into the doors of the emergency department and saw Zheng Shuyi sleeping peacefully on the chair, he realized he was right.

He stared at her without a word for a long time.

It seemed that ever since the very beginning, he has been slowly trying to form a compromise with Zheng Shuyi.

And by now, he has already gone behind his bottom line.

After realizing this, he suddenly became relieved.

There was really nothing he could say about liking Zheng Shuyi, it was a fact he had to admit.

——

The emergency department was getting pretty loud. There were people walking in and out while leaving their water-stained footprints behind.

Zheng Shuyi had her head lowered and remained silent for a long time.

Shi Yan's words shot her back into full embarrassment.

It was as if he was reminding her of what she had done, and after she understood him, she could feel his disappointment and frustration.

What an arrogant person he was, after getting the feeling of being played around by her, he must have felt very terrible while saying the word "catastrophe".

But he still came.

Even though she was the catastrophe of his life, he still came.

In the dark and mysterious spot in Zheng Shuyi's heart, his appearance was a ray of light.

Since he didn't leave completely yet, that meant there was still hope.

Maybe because there were so many other sick people in the hospital, but after thinking about this, she felt a touch of sweetness in her endless sour emotions. She wanted to cry even more.

She raised her hand and rubbed her eyes, her fingertips were covered with some moistness.

Just as her tears were about to come out of her eyes, a girl sitting next to her suddenly said enigmatically, “Lol, you didn't have to roast her so hard in the hospital."

"…"

Her tears went back into her eyes.

Zheng Shuyi slowly turned her head and looked at the girl.

The girl was wearing a cap and typing quickly on her phone, probably sticking her nose around and making complaints.

Feeling Zheng Shuyi's gaze, she paused for a while, turned her head slowly, and said quietly, "Oh… was I too loud?"

Zheng Shuyi sniffed.

"Oh, sorry," the girl made a "please go ahead" gesture at her and put on her earplugs, "Please continue, I'll mute myself."

Shi Yan: "…"

He reached out and turned Zheng Shuyi's head back.

"Are you going?"

"Oh."

Zheng Shuyi lowered her head and saw that his jacket was still on her. She reluctantly took it down and returned it to him, "Thank you for your jacket."

She raised her hands but prayed in her heart: Don't take it. Don't take it. Let me hold on to it a little longer.

Obviously, Shi Yan couldn't hear what she was saying in her mind. He took the jacket away, put it on his shoulders, and walked toward the doors.

Zheng Shuyi: "…"

She picked up her bag, but couldn't find her phone.

It probably slipped while she was sleeping, and after bending down and looking around for a long time, she finally found it in the crack between the chairs.

However, just as she was about to stand up, she saw Shi Yan stop in front and look back at her. His face looked a little impatient.

"Are you planning to live here?"

Zheng Shuyi was still sitting on the chair, looking pitifully at Shi Yan.

"My head's still dizzy, I can't walk."

She was being serious this time, it wasn't acting.

When she got up after getting her phone, she did feel a sudden dizziness.

Shi Yan seemed to smile a little.

But Zheng Shuyi wasn't so sure if she saw it right.

Either way, if he really was smiling, it must be a mocking smile.

He put on his coat and walked back in front of Zheng Shuyi.

"You're starting again?"

"Sigh……"

Zheng Shuyi sighed, grabbed the armrest, and carefully tried to stand up.

But just as she straightened her legs, they suddenly left the ground.

Shi Yan picked her up and walked to the diagnosis room without a word.

From behind, the girl in the cap made a long teasing noise.

——

Zheng Shuyi froze for a long time, after which she slowly raised her hand to wrap it around his shoulder. Seeing no reaction from him, she finally dared to fully wrap them around.

Feeling her little movements, Shi Yan suddenly said, "Zheng Shuyi."

The corridors outside the diagnosis room were crowded with people, and the voice from the broadcast was also very loud, yet Shi Yan's whisper sounded exceptionally clear.

Zheng Shuyi gave a quiet response.

Shi Yan sighed heavily, then said with a very quiet voice, "You were certain that I will continue to be fooled by you?"

Zheng Shuyi's heart slightly shook.

The tone in which he said this was still very heavy. Although it was a question, he made it sound like it was a statement.

So he was expressing his compromise in disguise and helplessness.

He was fooled.

Zheng Shuyi didn't speak and felt that the weak light in her heart was starting to get brighter.

Now she was certain, sick people receive more kindness.

When what he said made her sad, she wanted to cry. But now that he was compromising with her and slowly paving her a road towards him, she still felt like she wanted to cry.

After a long while, Zheng Shuyi's muffled voice came from within Shi Yan's arms.

"Please don't call me by my full name, it sounds scary."

Shi Yan gave a smile that didn't have any warmth in it, then said word by word, "Zheng Shuyi, don't change the topic."

"That's not what I was thinking…How would I dare, I'm just… weak."

Towards the end, her voice was getting smaller and smaller. She didn't have any confidence at all while saying it.

In fact, she just thought that acting like a child would work against Shi Yan.

And that thought has unconsciously been carved into her bones already.

However, Shi Yan obviously did not believe her.

"Okay, continue your acting."

"I'm not acting…"

But after thinking about it carefully, in the long period of time since she had known Shi Yan, she was indeed acting the whole time.

Whether it was to act like a child to create herself an opportunity and run her mouth like a train, or to show off her "charm", or to make him feel her "love", she always smiled brightly as soon as she saw him.

But afterward, all this seemed to have become a habit. It seemed that while facing Shi Yan, it was natural to do all this.

Even those purposefully spoken sweet words became natural.

Zheng Shuyi didn't know when all these changes started and didn't know whether it was still considered "acting".

She didn't even know when she turned her false feelings into true intentions.

And, she didn't know when she started to like Shi Yan.

Therefore, she slowly buried her head in front of Shi Yan's chest and whispered, "Actually, it wasn't all lies."

Shi Yan was holding her in his arms and walking out of the hospital. After hearing her words, his arms suddenly tightened.

But his face was still calm.

And the only thing he said was a cold "oh".

Oh?

That's it??

"What do you mean by ‘oh'?"

Zheng Shuyi suddenly raised her head.

Shi Yan ignored her and started to walk faster.

Zheng Shuyi insisted, "Do you believe me or not? Give me a reply, what do you mean by ‘oh'?"

Shi Yan didn't even take a look at her.

"Speak!" Zheng Shuyi began to worry. Her arm moved around beside Shi Yan's neck, trying to attract his attention, "What do you mean?"

Shi Yan suddenly stopped. The moment he lowered his head, there were only millimeters between their two faces.

His eyes were particularly bright under the corridor lights, and Zheng Shuyi's figure was sitting in his black pupils.

Zheng Shuyi suddenly held her breath.

On the tip of her nose, Shi Yan's breathing slowly swept across it.

She noticed Shi Yan smiled very lightly.

"It depends on how you behave."

——

Shi Yan's words made Zheng Shuyi a little more dizzy.

This dizziness was different from the one that came from her sickness.

It was like after drowning in water for a long time and finally being saved by someone, she accidentally inhaled too much oxygen and now she felt like she was drowning in air.

Along the way, she didn't say a word. All she was thinking was how to "behave".

She couldn't go charge at Shi Yan directly without any worries like before anymore.

At that time, she was only thinking of revenge on Yue Xingzhou and Qin Lezhi. She didn't care about what Shi Yan would feel and how he would respond to her.

But now she cared.

Zheng Shuyi was thinking so hard that she didn't even notice Shi Yan looking at her several times.

It wasn't until the car got downstairs to her house did she finally couldn't hold it back anymore. "I don't know what I should do, please give me some hints."

Shi Yan's thin lips pressed into a straight line. He didn't want to answer her question,

Zheng Shuyi leaned closer and pulled his sleeve, "Or do you want me to take this exam naked?"1A naked test has two meanings: 1. A test that has no bonus points and 2. A test that one has to take without learning anything about the contents beforehand.

"Naked exam?"

Shi Yan put his index finger to his lip and studied Zheng Shuyi from top to bottom, "How would you like to take this exam naked? Huh?"

Zheng Shuyi: "…"

How does this person have such a dirty mind…

"Forget it," She quickly opened the door with her bag in hand, "You know that's not what I meant."

When getting out of the car, Shi Yan heard her whispering "Dirty-minded…"

Shi Yan felt like he might be a bit masochistic.

Hearing her about to curse, he wanted to laugh for some reason.

Zheng Shuyi took a few steps and suddenly heard Shi Yan calling her.

"Shuyi."

She was stunned for a second.

Yes, it was "Shuyi", not "Zheng Shuyi".

"What?"

Zheng Shuyi's mouth hung open as she turned to look at him.

Shi Yan picked up her phone from the passenger seat.

Oh, forgot my phone.

Zheng Shuyi ran over, reached out into the car window, and just as she touched her phone, Shi Yan took it back.

Zheng Shuyi was dumbfounded, "What's the matter?"

Shi Yan held her phone in his hand and shook it carefreely.

"Did you forget something?"

Zheng Shuyi was even more dumbfounded, "Did I forget something?"

"Go think about it."

Zheng Shuyi thought about it seriously, and then half of her head poked into the car window.

"Forgot to thank you for bringing me home?"

Shi Yan squinted her eyes, turned his face away, and returned the phone to her.

When Zheng Shuyi took the phone and held it in her hand, a distant picture suddenly flashed through her mind.

It seemed like a long, long time ago, on a very cold day similar to today.

The pouring rain seemed to drown the city. She stood at the gate of Warner Mansion with her phone and stubbornly rejected Shi Yan to give her a ride.

And at that time, he also looked at her like this with his cold eyes.

However, on that day, winter was just approaching, and the wind was bitter cold.

Today, although the wind was still cold, spring was coming, and that was the season of rebirth.

"What are you waiting for?"

Seeing that she wasn't moving, Shi Yan asked.

Zheng Shuyi began to feel emotional again.

It was rare to show such a quiet side of her in front of him. She had her eyes lowered and said softly, "It's nothing. I just remembered when we first met, I refused to let you bring me home. I feel like I almost missed a billion."

Shi Yan looked at her with meaningful eyes.

After a long time, just when Zheng Shuyi thought he was going to turn on mocking mode again, she heard him say, "Who told you that's the first time we met?"
