She Is From The Countryside

216 Song Meilian’s story

shi yan ran upstairs.

she took the gift box from jiang che and ran off with the roses.

Jiang che looked at her back view as she fled. He pursed his lips and chuckled. After a while, he turned around and got into the car to leave.

shi yan returned to the dormitory. other than ren kexin and chang ru, song meilian was also there.

Song Meilian took a day off.

She had not returned since last night.

Shi Yan knew from Chang ru that it was song Meilian who had called to ask for leave, but she was still a little worried. song meilian had gone out with her last night, so she had called her.

Song Meilian picked it up and said that she had something to do and would be back at night.

shi yan was slightly relieved.

song meilian must have just returned as well. she brought a bag of fruits for everyone. ren kexin and chang ru were eating as they asked her where she had gone.

“I met a friend and wanted to catch up.”

shi yan happened to hear song meilian’s words when she pushed the door open.

Seeing that Shi Yan had returned, the three of them looked at her.

seeing the roses and gift box in her hands, ren kexin said, ” Shi Yan, your husband doesn’t look like a romantic person, but he’s very romantic to you. He gave you flowers and gifts.

chang ru nodded in agreement.

wasn’t that so? he was a modest and gentlemanly figure, bright as the clouds and the moon. he didn’t look like someone who knew how to do this.

however, it was understandable. there was no one in this world who didn’t know how to be romantic. it was just a matter of whether they put in enough effort.

If one cared enough about their girlfriend, they would learn all these without a teacher.

shi yan smiled faintly and walked over to the desk to take down the red xue flower that was about to wither from the glass vase. she replaced it with the bouquet of pink roses in her hand.

however, she didn’t throw away the red roses that she had changed out of.

she found a paper box in front of her desk and picked the rose petals one by one.

she knew how to process medicinal herbs, and making dried flowers was much easier than processing medicinal herbs. it was not a difficult task for her.

she planned to turn the flowers that jiang che gave her into dried flowers and then make them into sachets or something else. this way, she could keep them.

After plucking the petals and tidying up the table, Shi Yan opened the lipstick Jiang che had bought for her.

a whole row of lipsticks, a series of colors, more than 20 of them.

Ren Kexin, who accidentally caught a glimpse of this scene, was dumbfounded. “Shi Yan, is this lipstick? a series and a complete set? Is that person in your family so good at it?”

chang ru also sighed,’not only is he handsome, but he’s also rich. not only is he handsome and rich, but he’s also so romantic.”

not to mention them, song meilian, who was sitting at the desk and drawing, was also surprised.

“i’m also surprised.” shi yan’s eyes were full of smiles.

no one could have guessed under what circumstances jiang che had thought of giving her lipstick.

Thinking of this, Shi Yan’s face couldn’t help but heat up.

she closed the box and got up to wash up.

after washing up and putting away the clothes that had been dried on the balcony, and drying the clothes that had just been washed, shi yan took her phone and went to the balcony to call jiang che.

he should be arriving at the jiang family soon.

Speaking of collecting clothes, she saw the shirt she had brought from the bamboo garden.

At that time, she had said that she would return it to Jiang che after washing it, but now she suddenly didn’t want to return it to him. She directly hung it in the cabinet with the clothes rack.

jiang che was indeed about to arrive at the jiang family’s house. the two of them exchanged a few words before shi yan hung up the phone. she said that she would send her a message when he arrived and they would chat on wechat.

After hanging up the phone, he was about to leave the balcony when he saw song Meilian come out.

“don’t you have anything to ask me?”

Shi Yan put away her phone and fixed her eyes on her face for a few seconds.”If you want to find someone to talk to, I’ll be a very good listener.”

yes, shi yan could tell that song meilian didn’t want to ask her if she had anything to ask her. she just wanted to find someone to talk to.

Since it was her private matter, Shi Yan wasn’t sure if song Meilian wanted others to know. So, since they returned to the dormitory, Shi Yan didn’t mention a word about song Meilian, nor did she ask her what she meant by reminiscing with her friends, nor did she mention that she saw song Meilian get into Jing Xuan’s car last night.

song meilian looked at shi yan.

shi yan, who had washed up and changed into her autumn nightdress, stood on the balcony. her black hair, which fell over her waist, fluttered in the night wind. there was a crescent moon in the sky. standing under the hazy moonlight, shi yan had a faint smile on her face, and her entire person exuded gentleness.

Just by looking at her like this, one’s heart would unconsciously calm down.

Song Meilian looked away from her and walked to her side, facing the endless sky. She said emotionlessly, ” i left with jing xuan, the eldest young master of the jing family, last night. i’m sure that with your intelligence, shi yan, you should have noticed something in the private room last night. ”

shi yan did not deny it.

However, she didn’t notice it after she entered the private room. When Jiang che appeared, she slipped away and didn’t have the mood to care about anything else. she had some speculations before entering the private room, but after seeing song meilian get into jing xuan’s car, she understood.

“jing xuan and i have known each other for many years and have a deep relationship. however, we’ve been separated for many years. about three years ago, we met again.”

“Do you know where we met?”

At this point, Shi Yan saw song Meilian shiver with her arms crossed.

It was as if the night wind was too cold.

” it’s an underground auction, the kind that’s not very formal. ”

“i was tricked by the auntie who lived with me for many years to go there to pay off her debt. that’s not a place for humans at all, i almost slipped away there!”

Song Meilian shivered even more. Shi Yan paused and raised her hand to gently Pat her back. Only then did she calm down a little.

“it was jing xuan who appeared and saved me,” she continued.

” to me, that was a new life after a disaster. but when i woke up again, i didn’t have time to express the joy of meeting again after a long time when i heard him ask my name. ”

“At that time, my mood seemed to have fallen from the clouds to the bottom of the valley. It had only been a few years since we last met, and he had forgotten me so completely. But I was very timid and didn’t dare to tell him who I was. In that underground auction, he had seen me in my most embarrassing state.”

” since he doesn’t remember me, then let the person in his memory forever maintain the most perfect appearance. i won’t destroy it. ”

“i’ve changed my name a few years ago, so i don’t have to hide anything.”

“he said that he was a businessman and never did business at a loss. he saved me from the underground auction house, so it could be considered that he had offended the underground auction house, and he still had to spend some effort to settle it. He gave me a choice, and then sent me back to the underground auction or to stay with him.”

“That place is like a Devil’s Den. I would rather die than go back,” she said, her hands trembling.

“at that time, i didn’t think too much. i just wanted to get away from that devil’s den.”

speaking of this, song meilian laughed a bit sadly,”but i can’t let them save me for nothing. i have nothing, so i can’t offer anything as the price for their rescue. hence, under his suggestion, i signed a mistress contract for three years at that age.”

he didn’t force me to do anything. He only warned me a few times in the middle of the night after he found out that I had suicidal thoughts. He said that my life was his and that he had lost three hundred million Yuan to save me. If I wanted to die, I had to pay him the three hundred million first.

” after knowing that he lost so much to save me, how could i still think of suicide? i even thought about how to earn money to pay him back. ”

slowly, I got used to being by his side. No matter what, he was someone I was very familiar with when I was young. In my heart, he was my only family member in this world. Even though I was traumatized by the underground auction, I quickly stopped rejecting him.

” but that’s just because i thought i didn’t reject him. about half a year later, he came back drunk from a business meeting. i poured him a glass of water, but he only hugged me for a while, aww. ”

at this point, song meilian’s body trembled. she took a deep breath and closed her eyes, I had a huge reaction. I pushed him away and ran into the bathroom to retch.

“Not to mention that he saved me at that time, just based on our friendship when we were young, I should not have treated him like this. I don’t think any man can stand a hug that makes him feel nauseous, let alone Jing Xuan, who has a say in a certain field at such a young age.”

“i went too far, but he didn’t blame me at all. this makes me blame myself even more.”

“after that, i worked hard to overcome it. I’ve really tried my best, Shi Yan. I’ve really tried my best, but I just can’t do it. ”

he was usually very calm, but at this moment, he was trembling as if he was on the verge of collapse.

“Meilian,” Shi Yan said as she held her hand.

Her voice was calm and her expression was indifferent. Her entire person exuded a sense of calmness.

Seeing Shi Yan like this, song Meilian’s emotions gradually calmed down.

“He confessed to me after my college entrance examination. he appeared in the underground auction to save me. he didn’t tell me immediately because he was afraid that i wouldn’t be able to take it if he told me his identity.”

I was very proud when I was young. Just as he said, if he had revealed my identity when he rescued me from the Devil’s Den, I might not have been able to bear it.

“however, after three years, my state of mind has slowly calmed down. if you mention it again, i won’t be unable to bear it.”

“It’s hard on him to hide it from me for nearly three years.”

At this point, a smile hung on song Meilian’s face.

however, her smile didn’t last long, and she looked down again.

” i wanted to accept his confession, but i couldn’t let him stay by my side for the rest of my life. i ... rejected him. ”

“after that, he returned to sea city, and we never met again. I thought he was angry and would ignore me, but the next day, he texted me and told me to think about it when I came to Sea city.”

“after he left, i thought about it for a long time. in the end, i decided to give us a chance. I’m going to find him as soon as we get to Sea city, and I’m going to give him a surprise.”

“but shi yan, can you imagine? when i went to the jing family to look for him, i met aunt jing and ye chengcheng outside the gate of the jing family. aunt jing and ye chengcheng said that they would prepare for her and jing xuan’s engagement ceremony in half a year at the latest. how did i feel?”

Looking at the depressed song Meilian, Shi Yan said, ” “Have you gone to master Jing to verify it?”

“It’s not a matter of whether I want to verify it or not. We’ve lived together for three years, and I naturally understand and trust Jing Xuan. But compared to ye Chengcheng, not only do I not have a family background that can match Jing Xuan’s, I’m also almost ridiculed.”

I’m a person who would feel nauseated even if I had physical contact with the opposite sex. I’m thinking, if I really accept Jing Xuan’s confession without a care, wouldn’t I be too selfish? ”

“i won’t,” Shi Yan answered decisively.

“if you break up with him just like that, you’ll be truly selfish.”
