Accidental Love

Chapter 55: Kiss Me, Then I'll Go With You



The other end of the phone was quiet for a few seconds.

Although Zheng Shuyi couldn't see Shi Yan's expression at the moment, she could feel that the man's face must have turned black by now.

But she felt very good about it.

This man was drunk in her house last night and took a lot of advantage of her.

―Even though she liked it when he took… No, she liked it when he was drunk.

But just the next day after he woke up, he turned back to cold and calm, pretending that he knew nothing. The world was making it too easy for him.

Without giving him some color see see1Give someone color see see is the direct translation of ‘teaching someone a lesson' in Chinese. I used it because I think I heard many others use it?¯_(ツ)_/¯ I've been saying it for a long time ;P, he would probably think that he had found such a kind and gentle girlfriend.

It was a normal busy morning. Car horns sounded everywhere and breakfast shop radios sounded nearby. The atmosphere was noisy and lively.

After another moment of silence, Shi Yan suddenly spoke, "Don't move, wait for me at your doorstep."

Zheng Shuyi smiled and said, "No, it's so hot, I need to go to work now."

“……”

On the phone, Shi Yan's voice softened even more.

"Shuyi, wait for me there, please?"

Zheng Shuyi was stunned. Hearing his coax voice, she easily backed down and agreed.

Looks like I'm kind and gentle after all.

She nodded towards the air.

"Hurry up, I'm going to die of heat. Why is it so hot all of a sudden? It's only March, just imagine how hot it will be during summer…"

After listening to her garrulous speaking, he hung up.

Zheng Shuyi found a shade and quietly stood there.

Soon, Shi Yan's car appeared.

The window rolled down, and he looked over.

At that moment, Zheng Shuyi was already full of sweat. She walked towards his car while complaining.

"It's so hot! The weather is getting worse and worse these days!"

Shi Yan's voice came along with the air conditioning from the car.

"Then why are you wearing so much?"

“……”

Zheng Shuyi suddenly stopped and looked at Shi Yan.

She just wanted to think that he became human again, but his words were still so hateful.

Zheng Shuyi crossed her arms across her chest and didn't hold back her mockery at all, "Do you think you have the right to say that in the first place?” Do you think I want to wear so much? Don't you know who caused all this?

Shi Yan's eyes slowly landed on her neck.

He rested his elbow on the window and pressed his chin. Under the hot sun, he showed a free and easy expression.

"Is it my fault again?"

His voice was as cold as the air blowing out of the AC in the car.

But in Zheng Shuyi's ears, it sounded like a heatwave.

"So… you didn't forget?"

"My drinking capacity isn't that low," He studied Zheng Shuyi, but since his eyes didn't look very serious, it made his words sound like a different meaning, "I remember everything that I should remember."

Zheng Shuyi: "…"

She suddenly felt that her neck was very hot and unconsciously reached out to scratch it. As if she wanted to hide something, but just made it more obvious.

Shi Yan leaned back on his seat and said lightly, "Get on already."

Zheng Shuyi didn't move and said stubbornly, "No, you get off."

Shi Yan suddenly frowned and looked somewhat impatiently at Zheng Shuyi.

"What do you want now?"

"Just come downnn."

Zheng Shuyi's tone was a little playful and pleading, but she was looking at him bluntly as if she was going to make a big move after he gets out.

Shi Yan couldn't really figure out what she wanted him to do during a rush hour like this.

People came and went all around them. Most people were almost jogging to try to catch the subway, yet she just stood there.

Shi Yan didn't have an infinite amount of time on his hands either. Seeing Zheng Shuyi's smile, he still opened the car door in the end.

He walked up to her, turned sideways, and blocked the sun that was shining on her face.

"What is it?"

"Nothing," Zheng Shuyi stood on her toes, approached his ears, and said mysteriously, "Kiss me, then I'll go with you."

“……”

It wasn't because she really wanted a kiss, she was just doing this on purpose. She didn't like the way Shi Yan faked his pride and calmness in front of others. Therefore, she wanted to test little by little, where his bottom line was.

Either way, it was just a little kiss in public, nothing more than that like hugging and stuff. She wasn't afraid.

So, when Shi Yan didn't answer the question, it was also within her expectation.

The two stood there and looked at each other. All Shi Yan needed to do was to slightly tilt his head and he could see her earlobes.

Her skin was very white, but the soft earlobes were red because of the hot weather.

His breathing patted on her ears and he asked softly, "Why aren't you wearing earrings?"

"I couldn't find a suitable one this morning, so I didn't…"

Wait, what kind of unrelated question is that???

Just as she was about to raise her head, she suddenly felt a sudden warmness on her earlobes.

Shi Yan gently kissed her earlobes, and his tongue also seemed to have touched it too.

Like an electric shock, Zheng Shuyi instantly tightened her breath and her fingertips curled up almost imperceptibly.

She did not know whether Shi Yan was doing this because the gesture of kissing made them look like they were just whispering and wouldn't attract attention, or because he simply liked to tease her sensitive part like this.

In short, Shi Yan's kiss completely sucked out all the energy from her. Her legs felt soft, and the next second, she was leaning on him.

All the noise on the street instantly drifted to outer space. Zheng Shuyi could only hear her own heartbeat.

Shi Yan lifted his hand. It went behind her head, through her soft hair, and gently pressed onto her head.

At the same time, his lips were still there. As he kissed his way up her ear, his voice also turned softer and sweeter, "Can we go now?"

Zheng Shuyi murmured, "Y… yes…"

"Let's go, then."

Shi Yan pulled away from her hand, glanced at her, and then dragged her towards the car.

“……”

For some reason, Zheng Shuyi got a sense of "you're so needy, finally finished with you" from Shi Yan's tone and eyes.

Doing such an intimate kiss and then thinking that she was needy?

What kind of dissociative disorder does this man have?!

After getting in the car, he sat at the innermost seat in his standoffish manner, loosened his neckline, and then closed his eyes.

Zheng Shuyi: "…"

She felt even angrier.

She leaned against the right window and distanced herself from Shi Yan. But she still glared back at him from time to time.

He couldn't see anyway.

But, when Zheng Shuyi sneakily turned her head around for the third time, Shi Yan said with his eyes closed, "Stop looking already, let me sleep for a while."

Zheng Shuyi: "…"

Can he see with his eyes closed??

"Who's looking?"

Zheng Shuyi laughed, "I am glaring at you."

Shi Yan acted as if he didn't hear her at all. His eyes remain closed, looking like he really had fallen asleep.

Last night, he couldn't stand the smell of the cigarette and wine on him and after getting home and taking a shower, it was already very late at night.

The amount of alcohol in him didn't turn to 0 just by a night's sleep. Until now, the hangover from the wine was still lingering around.

But after closing his eyes for a while, he realized that the smell of perfume she usually used would spread with every little movement of hers.

Even if she didn't say anything or do anything, he still couldn't calm himself down.

Shi Yan took a long breath, opened his eyes, and then without any warning, grabbed onto her hand that was by her leg.

Her hand was delicate and thin, her fingers were well-proportioned, her fingernails were clean and round. Without any nail polish on, they showed a natural beauty.

And it was very small too, with a gentle grip, it could be wrapped in his palm.

Shi Yan then opened her hand back up, and slowly crossed his fingers between hers.

"Do you want me to pick you up after work today?"

Zheng Shuyi smiled and pretended to look outside the window and said with a pretentious tone, "No time."

After a long time, Zheng Shuyi didn't hear the coax words from Shi Yan, but he seemed to be having a great time playing around with her hand.

Zheng Shuyi secretly looked at him and seeing his happy appearance, it seemed that he didn't care at all about her one-man show.

She suddenly felt very bored.

She slowly pulled back her hand, looked down, and started to study her fingernails, attempting to find a way for herself to ease the awkwardness.

"My friend's flight is tonight, it's her, my friend that you met before. I need to go pick her up."

"Is she coming to play with you?"

"No."

Zheng Shuyi wanted to say that she came for work, but suddenly, a scene from a long time ago, when Bi Ruoshan first met Shi yan, appeared in her head.

―- "Sister, you can fucking succeed, I'll shave my head on the spot."

Thinking of this, Zheng Shuyi suddenly giggled and cast a meaningful glance towards Shi Yan.

"She came to shave her head in front of me."

“……”

Sometimes, Shi Yan could be confused too. He wondered if someone was playing with her switch for emotions.

One moment, she would be angry. Then, she would be awkward. And the next moment, she would act spoiled, and sometimes, she would giggle to herself.

But just by thinking of Bi Ruoshan shaving her head, all the unpleasant thoughts she had now disappeared. She scooted towards Shi yan and pulled his sleeve.

"Then do you want to come to pick her up with me?"

"No time."

Zheng Shuyi: "…"

Why does this man have to hold a grudge against every little detail!

Zheng Shuyi nodded and said solemnly, "Well, okay, then I'll go find a boyfriend who has time to go with me."

Shi Yan wasn't angry at all when he heard this. Instead, he just looked calmly at Zheng Shuyi and even had a slight smile on his face.

Seeing this, Zheng Shuyi took the opportunity to express her dissatisfaction.

"I have a boyfriend, who says good morning and good night to me every day."

"I also have a boyfriend, who picks me up after work and sometimes even brings flowers."

"I also have a boyfriend, who would be at my side when I need him."

"The most important boyfriend that I have says things that I like to hear."

Shi Yan gave a long "oh".

"That many boyfriends?"

"Yeah, what, what kind of look is that?" asked Zheng Shuyi calmly, "Look of envy?"

“……”

"I won't leave a spot for you."

“……”

"Unless you beg me."

"Please," Shi Yan finally spoke, but his tone didn't sound so nice, "Shut up."

“……”

——

Because of what happened on the ride here, Zheng Shuyi barely arrived at her work on time.

Just as she put down her bag, she was called to the conference room for a meeting.

By the time it ended, Tang Yi leaned back on her office chair and said with a smile, "It's March already, the month of awakening. The weather is getting warm and the flowers are blooming, dating season is coming too. Everyone should use this time and go have a sweet talk with your lover."

“……”

The workers were so shocked by editor-in-chief Tang's words that they didn't know how to reply to her.

Only Zheng Shuyi was being supportive.

"Yes yes, editor-in-chief, did you get a boyfriend?"

Tang Yi brushed his hair and shook his head, "I have plans for my own life, I'm just worrying for you all.  Alright, this is what happened. A few days ago, the owner of the internet company upstairs came to me and asked form a partnershipwith our team."

She blinked at Zheng Shuyi, "He asked you specifically to attend, and I agreed already. You'll do this for me right?"

Zheng Shuyi nodded with a smile, "Of course, why will I not do it for you?"

Tang Yi felt that Zheng Shuyi was very sensible and cast over a satisfied look.

Then, Zheng Shuyi took out her phone, "But I have to ask my boyfriend first to see if he will allow it."

“……”

Tang Yi suddenly sat upright, closed the laptop, and said, "Meeting dismissed."

——

The second everyone left the conference room, Kong Nan leaned over to her.

"Dating again?"

Zheng Shuyi just smiled and went to the pantry.

And Kong Nan had something to do at the moment too, so she didn't ask more and went her own way.

Because of the business trip to the United States, there was quite some accumulated work for her to do. So after returning to her desk, she started to get busy and lost track of the flow of time.

After eating lunch in a hurry, she didn't even take the break she usually took after and immediately got back to work.

Until it was time to get off work and everyone started to slack off, Zheng Shuyi finally stood up and stretched her neck and shoulders. Then, she got herself a cup of hot water and stood by the window to browse her Moments.

One of them was from Qin Shiyue, posted three hours ago.

――"Life, life, we must work for life to have meaning, Lau Shaw2Famous Chinese author from the last century. was indeed correct."

The attachment was a picture of Lau Shaw.

Zheng Shuyi: "…"

This wasn't really worth mentioning, but the point was that she saw Yu You's like.

Zheng Shuyi sighed and commented under her post:

He never said this…

I understand how you feel 

— Lu Xun3Another famous Chinese author.

Within a few seconds, Qin Shiyue deleted this post.

And then wept as she came to find Zheng Shuyi.

Qin Shiyue: Why didn't you tell me earlier TVT, it's so embarrassing.

Zheng Shuyi: …

Zheng Shuyi: Maybe he didn't know either. Look, didn't he like your post?

Qin Shiyue: In-tears.jpg"4" data-mfn-post-scope="000000004d02ed1d000000000eac4f9b_2249">4Having a fish pond is a pun that means dating multiple people at the same time

Qin Shiyue: That's not what I meant, I was just wondering, how could such a weird and disgusting alias be you?

Zheng Shuyi: …

Qin Shiyue: You're so dignified and mature, don't tell me you changed it yourself?

Zheng Shuyi: Of course not.

Qin Shiyue: I knew it, hahaha. My uncle is weird and disgusting [Vomit]!

Zheng Shuyi stopped texting Qin Shiyue and went to send a message to that weird and disgusting boyfriend.

Zheng Shuyi: Will I have a boyfriend today who will bring some flowers while picking me up after work?

As soon as she sent the message, Shi Yan's call came.

"Come down."

"You're here already?"

"Mm."

Zheng Shuyi: "…"

If she had known, she wouldn't have spent all that effort to hint at him.

After cleaning her work area, Zheng Shuyi closed her laptop and notified Kong Nan before leaving.

Since she came relatively down early, there weren't many cars outside of the building, and she saw Shi Yan's car at a glance.

Now that Shi Yan wasn't drunk anymore, he didn't bring a driver and drove the four-seated car himself.

Zheng Shuyi hurried to the car. Once she arrived, she opened the door slowly and stepped in elegantly.

She glanced at the passenger seat. It was empty.

Zheng Shuyi sneered quietly and didn't say anything while fastening her seat belt. Then, she said, "Mister, to Jiang City International Airport T2 please."

“……”

Shi Yan looked at her coldly, "What kind of performance are you acting now?"

Zheng Shuyi played with her hair with her head lowered. She didn't even look at him as she murmured, "A boyfriend who picks up his girlfriend without bringing flowers is no different than a taxi driver."

“……”

Driver Shi sneered and pressed the gas.

The two didn't talk much on the way.

Mainly because Shi Yan had to answer several work-related calls.

He wasn't wearing earbuds, and the audio was played directly from the car console. Zheng Shuyi could only sit on the side and be a little mute.

After all the calls, Shi Yan didn't bother to start a conversation either.

Zheng Shuyi secretly looked at him several times, but he didn't have a change in expression at all.

Tsk.

She made it so obvious already, and he didn't bother to coax her even the slightest bit. He just drove quietly on the whole way.

Is he really just being a taxi driver?

After arriving at the airport. Before the car was even fully parked, Zheng Shuyi had already asked, "Thank you, how much?"

While Shi Yan parked, he glanced coldly at Zheng Shuyi.

Really thought of me as a driver, huh?

"A thousand nine hundred and five."5About 400 USD

Zheng Shuyi: ?

Why is the number so precise?

"You made a fortune by robbing money, didn't you?"

"No," Shi Yan smiled, "It's from my dad."

Zheng Shuyi: "…"

After the car got parked, Zheng Shuyi was still sitting in the passenger seat. She was a little sad and looked lifeless.

Shi Yan looked at her for a while before squeezing her face with a smile.

"Look behind you."

Zheng Shuyi did as he said and turned her head around.

On the back seat was a black gift box with a word on it: "rose".

Zheng Shuyi: !!! 

This driver comes with presents!

She didn't even unfasten her seatbelt as she reached out her hand and grabbed the gift box over.

Inside was a bouquet of champagne red roses.

The smell of flowers flowed into Zheng Shuyi's heart.

She held the flower and rubbed her chin gently against the petals. When she looked up, she saw Shi Yan's eyes. Then after looking back down at the rose, her cheeks turned red.

The temperature in the car started to rise.

Although she didn't say anything, her demeanor at the moment was more sultry than a hundred words of love.

Click. Shi Yan unfastened his seatbelt and slowly leaned over towards Zheng Shuyi.

As his breaths got closer and closer to her, suddenly, a phone call suddenly disrupted the love-filled atmosphere.

The second Zheng Shuyi picked up, Bi Ruoshan's voice came over.

"I met Song Lelan!!! Oh my god! She's not using the VIP! Oh my god, I finally got to see a celebrity! She's so pretty! She's standing right there!!! Are you coming! Quick! Arrival Floor!!! So many people are here asking to take pictures with her! And she's not refusing any of them!”

Zheng Shuyi took a deep breath, "Wait! I'm coming!!!"

As she opened the door, the bouquet of flowers that was worth 1905 yuan was shoved back into the arms of Song Lelan's younger brother.
