"It's okay. We've already rehearsed. It's still early …"
Su Nianhua looked a little uneasy. Looking at Ye Huanyan's expression, he seemed to be in a difficult position.
"You've had lunch, right? Let's order some desserts. This shop's desserts are not bad, and the environment is not bad. "
Ye Huanyan actually wanted to end it early and go back to rest. After all, with Su Nianhua's current popularity, he could be recognized at any time on the streets. She had experienced such a storm once, and she did not want to experience it again. However, seeing how careful he was, she could not bear to see him like this.
"Okay, then let's order desserts."
She had not seen Lu Shen for ten years. Now that she could sit here quietly and eat something, even she felt that it was very magical.
"Brother Li told me about what happened when I was drunk. I'm really sorry. Brother Li even went to look for you. Did he cause you any trouble?"
"It's nothing. I got off work at that time, and he sent me home. He couldn't get a taxi, so he did me a favor."
"You got off work so late?" Su Nianhua was a little surprised.
Ye Huanyan was stunned, as if she did not know how to explain.
"It's not convenient to say this, right?" He thought that this topic involved some privacy, so he quickly changed the topic.
"Oh right, your best friend, Xiao Yue. Actually, I really did not mean to use her. She's a very cute girl, and she's also my fan, so I don't mean any harm to her. If you mind, I won't be in contact with her in the future."
He used to be a man of few words, and compared to Ling Han now, he did not know much. The reason why he rambled on like this was because he was nervous. Ye Huanyan took a sip of coffee and was a little uncomfortable.
"Lu Shen …"
"Hmm?" He was slightly taken aback and stopped his incoherent chatter.
"Actually, you don't have to deliberately find a topic to talk about. Although we haven't seen each other for a long time, you know my personality, and I know your temper. Even if there's no topic to talk about, it's good to sit here quietly and enjoy the scenery for a while."
Her gaze was calm, and her tone was soothing. Su Nianhua could not connect her with the Ye Huanyan from back then.
"I still haven't formally apologized to you for what happened back then."
"That's what I wanted to tell you today." Ye Huanyan slowly exhaled. "Actually, you didn't do anything wrong back then. If you hadn't met me, you would have left the country. Later on, my mother asked me if I wanted to go with you. I chose to stay."
At the end of the day, girls matured earlier than boys and were more able to distinguish between right and wrong.
Ten years ago, Ye Huanyan knew that Lu Shen should have left the country. Even if he had broken up with her, he should have left the country. That was his path, and she couldn't go. That was her own path.
"It was you … who didn't want to go?"
"Yes, my family wasn't in a good situation at that time, so I had to stay and accompany my mother."
At the mention of this, Ye Huanyan had already become indifferent to it.
"Then you …" Su Nianhua choked up a little. "Have you ever regretted it? All these years. "
If she had gritted her teeth and left with him back then, would the two of them be in a different situation now?
"I don't regret it."
Almost without hesitation, Ye Huanyan raised her head and looked into his eyes.
"My mother passed away two years ago. After I calmed down and thought about it, it was fortunate that I stayed by her side all these years and did some filial piety. If I had left with you back then, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to feel at ease for the rest of my life unless something like this happened."
Su Nianhua's expression froze. He didn't expect that something like this would happen to Ye Huanyan's family.
Back then, when he left the country, he tried to send many letters to high schools in the country, but they were like stones thrown into the sea. At that time, Ye Huanyan had transferred schools. Those letters that couldn't find the recipients were either lost or returned to him. In the end, he couldn't contact her.
He didn't know what she had experienced in the past ten years.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know …"
"What's there to be sorry about?" Jin Yan smiled.
"It has nothing to do with you. My mother is very magnanimous. She took care of me for so many years and weathered all kinds of storms. If you want to talk about hardships, actually, I didn't suffer much with her. Her life was quite worth it."
Ye Huanyan's father died early, so Ye Huanyan's impression of him was very vague. Later on, when Jiang Meilan met Ling Dongming, she fell in love with him so much that she didn't feel burdened at all. Instead, she was very happy for her.
In this life, Jiang Meilan had everything she wanted. Whether it was money, love, or marriage, she had it all. Her only regret was that she didn't have a long life. In life, there were always some regrets.
Ye Huanyan looked at the shocked and pained expression on the man's face and felt a little apologetic. She pretended to be relaxed and said,
"But at that time, when she first found out that I was with you, she was quite happy. You don't know, right? She liked you very much. She even told me that if she was five or six years younger, she would dare to snatch you from me. If she was free, when we returned to Lan Jiang, I would bring you to give her two bouquets of flowers. She would definitely be very happy underground."
Su Nianhua smiled helplessly at her words that could be said to be "disrespectful to the dead",
"If Aunt Jiang heard this, she would deduct your pocket money."
"I'm earning my own money now. I don't have to worry about food and drink. She can't control me."
Speaking of salary, Ye Huanyan glanced at Su Nianhua and stuck out her tongue,
"But of course, I don't earn as much as you."
Su Nianhua forced a smile,
"After Aunt Jiang passed away, did you live alone?"
He was more concerned about Ye Huanyan's current living situation.
"Uh … this …"
"You're Su Nianhua. Can you give me an autograph?" A crisp voice suddenly sounded,
Ye Huanyan was worried about how to answer. She was suddenly interrupted by this voice, which solved her awkwardness.
The girl who came was standing between the two of them. She was wearing a black coat. She covered her face shyly with one hand and held an exquisite small notebook in the other. She was looking at Su Nianhua hesitantly.
Ye Huanyan took the opportunity to lower her head and drink the coffee, covering her face.
Su Nianhua glanced at Ye Huanyan and frowned. Then, he said apologetically, "I'm sorry, today is my private time. I'll sign it next time if there's a chance …"
The girl was obviously disappointed.
"Brother Hua, I'm your fan. I didn't get a ticket for tonight's concert. I didn't expect to meet you here. Just an autograph. Don't take a picture, okay?"
"Little girl … if you do this,"
"Why don't you sign it for her?"
When Ye Huanyan thought about her best friend who was obsessed with idols, she couldn't help but speak up for her little girl.
Su Nianhua looked at her in shock. In the end, under her expectant gaze, he helplessly took the notebook from the little girl's hand. He flipped to a page and signed his name.
"Thank you …"
"Do you need me to take a picture for you?"
Ye Huanyan took the initiative to ask, completely ignoring Su Nianhua's shocked expression.
The little girl was obviously at a loss. She trembled and said, "Can … can I?"
Ye Huanyan's questioning gaze fell on Su Nianhua.
His face stiffened and he nodded helplessly.
He silently cursed in his heart, "You already said it's okay. Do you want me to embarrass you here?"
At this moment, he suddenly felt that Ye Huanyan was still the same as ten years ago. She loved to tease people, liked to make decisions on her own, did things regardless of the consequences, and always acted bravely for justice. She was still as … cute as before.
