Accidental Love

Chapter 58: You Look Very Cute When Jealous.

In the end, Shi Yan couldn't bring himself to just turn around and leave.

He stood behind Zheng Shuyi and watched her dig through the armrest box to search for her "boyfriend" before sighing.

How did the person whom he fell in love with at first sight on the ceremony that day turn into this?

Feeling that there was someone behind her, although he felt familiar, she was still startled a little.

She turned back with her hands on the door and looked at Shi Yan with some shock.

She seemed to be pretty surprised that this person didn't come out of the armrest box.

"What are you doing here?"

Shi Yan looked at the armrest box with a dark face, "Otherwise, should I be in there?"

Zheng Shuyi: ""

"You found your boyfriend, what are you waiting for?"

Shi Yan held her little arm, settled her in the car, and then closed the door to get on on the other side.

Afterward, by the time the car hit the road, Zheng Shuyi also fully calmed herself down.

She started to realize that what she did was a little embarrassing.

He watched the whole process of her entertaining herself and didn't even have to buy a ticket.

"Why didn't you make some noise while standing behind me?"

Shi Yan was only an armrest box away from her, but it felt like they were a whole mental hospital from each other.

He looked at Zheng Shuyi and replied calmly, "It is extremely disrespectful to interrupt an actress from her performance. I know the basic rules as an audience."

Zheng Shuyi: ""

Shi Yan raised his eyebrows, "Have you never watched a straight play?"

"No," Zheng Shuyi scooted to the side, pressed against the window, looked outside, and said shamelessly, Mine is already good enough."

Shi Yan didn't reply and just slightly chuckled.

After a moment of silence, Zheng Shuyi suddenly turned her head back to him.

"So where exactly did you go just now?"

Shi Yan looked at her helplessly and pointed at the little paper bag beside his hand.

Her one-man show ended earlier than expected, causing her to not notice the little bag in Shi Yan's hand.

After looking at it carefully, she noticed the familiar coffee shop logo on the bag.

"For me?"

Before Shi Yan could reply, she already leaned over and took the bag away.

Inside was a cup of hot cocoa.

Shi Yan nodded.

"Mm."

Zheng Shuyi smiled while holding the cup, "Yay, you know me too well, how did you know I like to drink this?"

"How much do you like it?"

Zheng Shuyi wasn't sure how to answer him.

In fact, she was just trying to be polite. She wanted to give some time for Shi Yan to get the feeling that they had a special bond with each other.

"I like it so much that even if you sell me, all you have to do is buy me one of these and I'll forgive you."

Well, that's a little too far.

It was just that while waiting for Zheng Shuyi, Shi Yan saw all the young men and women coming from the coffee shop were all holding a cup.

At that time, he suddenly thought of something and got out of the car without even notifying the driver.

Until he came out of the coffee shop and saw the hot cocoa in his hand, he suddenly felt a moment of confusion.

He wasn't a very careful person, never bothered to take care of many detailed things in his life.

Even towards family members, he rarely showed any sign of caring.

But although he hasn't been with Zheng Shuyi for long, he would have such subconscious thoughts that he never had before.

She seemed to have cast a spell, slowly dragging the cold and emotionless himself into a pit of fire without anyone noticing.

Zheng Shuyi didn't notice what Shi Yan was thinking right now. She looked around and found the straw and started to drink.

After a few sips, she remembered something and pushed the hot cocoa beside Shi Yan's mouth.

"Do you want some?"

"No."

Although she knew this was going to be his answer, she still couldn't help but roll her eyes.

She leaned back against the window and after a few slow sips, she put the cup into the cup holder.

Then, she quickly took a glance at Shi Yan.

"Can we ride in a different car next time?"

"Mm?" Shi Yan faintly answered her, "And why's that?"

Zheng Shuyi didn't reply and just looked at the armrest box in between.

Everything about this car was great, but unfortunately, there were only two seats in the back.

In the middle, there was a mini-fridge, a cup holder, and the design was very comfortable and convenient.

But when she looked at the area, it seemed like the Milky Way separating Vega and Aquila.1This is referencing one of the most popular romance folk tales. In short, it is about these two people falling in love, and then the mother of one party wasn't very happy and then separated the two apart with the Milky Way. But seeing that the man was so eager to meet his wife, she allowed them to meet once a year. (Note: The mother was the Queen of Heavens haha). Anyways, feel free to read the full story here.

She squirmed her mouth and said stiffly, "Nothing, I just don't like this car."

Shi Yan followed her eyes to the middle area, then saw her unpleasant expression, and then smiled.

"But I like it."

Zheng Shuyi looked away, "Yes, I can tell. You should marry it."

Although that was what she said, she still had her hand on the cup holder by her cup and started digging her fingers through it.

The hint was already very obvious.

The rustling noises from her fingers sounded in the car.

The corners of his mouth started to lose control by her little movements.

Shi Yan looked straight ahead as he slowly raised his hand. The second it touched Zheng Shuyi's hand, she smiled.

But the next second, Shi Yan's hand went past it and went for the hot cocoa.

Zheng Shuyi: "?"

She suddenly turned her head over, only to see Shi Yan smiling while drinking her hot cocoa.

Knowing that she was being played, she withdrew her hand and looked outside the window again. "Didn't you say you didn't want it?" she muttered coldly.

Shi Yan only took one sip before putting the cup back down.

She looked at Zheng Shuyi's back and reached out to take her hand.

Zheng Shuyi stubbornly moved her hand away.

"There won't be this shop in the next village."

The person beside didn't speak.

But when her hand was being held onto for the second time, she didn't try to break free.

Because the second his hand touched hers, his fingers went through hers and locked their hands together.

Zheng Shuyi found out that she really liked it when they held hands like this.

Shi Yan held her hand, brought it over the armrest box, and put it on his leg. But he still didn't say anything.

After a little longer, Zheng Shuyi suddenly felt something cold on her wrist.

She turned her head and saw Shi Yan with his head lowered, meticulously placing a bracelet on her hand.

"What's this?"

Shi Yan still didn't reply.

His eyes remained on the bracelet, and his long and slender fingers adjusted it on her wrist.

Obviously, he was not very good at doing this, as learning how to work with an S Hook also needed some time.

Shi Yan quietly attempted to put the bracelet on, and Zheng Shuyi sat beside him quietly watching.

All the surrounding sounds, even the loud car horns from outside, seemed to start to slowly disappear.

And Zheng Shuyi's heartbeat was getting louder and louder beside her heart.

She has always thought that this man was far away from her, in a completely different world from her.

He always stood tall, at a place where she must raise her head to see him.

But right now, he was looking down, patiently and carefully putting the bracelet on for her.

Afterward.

Shi Yan held her hand and carefully studied it.

The silver flower tile bracelet was decorated with a few star-shaped crystal powders, making Zheng Shuyi's wrist look more white and slender.

The crystal reflected light in his eyes, flickering from time to time. He put his fingers in between Zheng Shuyi's again and gently moved his hand on it inch by inch.

The massage was soft, but the joints appeared to be slightly white after a while.

Although he was just looking at a hand, she felt like his eyes made it seem like he was looking at something else

She unconsciously blushed a little.

Then she looked away and stopped looking at Shi Yan's eyes.

"What for?"

Shi Yan finally raised his head to reply.

"It's to make up for your Valentine's Day gift."

Although she could already guess it, hearing it from his mouth still made her very happy.

She tried really hard to force out a calm appearance.

"Only one Valentine's Day gift?"

She emphasized the words "Valentine's Day".

She was thinking that he should make up the gift for New Year, Christmas, and all the other holidays since they have been together.

But Shi Yan seemed to have understood the sentence on the number.

To be specific, early the next morning, Zheng Shuyi received seven gifts.

She opened them one after another, put them on her table, and was a little dumbfounded.

There was a bracelet, three necklaces, two pairs of earrings, and an anklet.

Zheng Shuyi put the delicate water-wave pattern anklet away while dialing Shi Yan's number with her other hand.

"What are you doing?" She blinked, "Are you opening a jewelry store?"

"It's to compensate for the previous holiday gifts."

On the other end of the phone, Shi Yan said word by word, "Every year's Valentine's Day gift."

Although she didn't fully understand what Shi Yan meant, it didn't stop her from being excited.

She glanced at the mirror on the side and saw her red cheeks.

"Then why are there seven?"

"One for every year since you were eighteen."

Suddenly, she felt as if a round of fireworks launched in her heart. The warmness and brightness filled her entire chest.

Zheng Shuyi turned her head to the sofa, grabbed a pillow into her arms, lay down, and clung on it tightly to ease the excessive joy brought by the excitement.

She tried to keep the conversation going, "Why 18?"

Shi Yan: I'm not interested in minors.

Regardless of his answer, Zheng Shuyi was overjoyed. She lay on the sofa and started to giggle silently.

Her eyes were looking at the ceiling. Although the lights weren't turned on, her eyes were full of bright starlight.

The behavior of Shi Yan today was very unreasonable, revealing his usual arrogant style.

But it made Zheng Shuyi understand something.

Her first love, a real one this time, was all his.

Zheng Shuyi was still immersed in her joy and didn't speak. Through the phone, he could only hear her quiet breathing.

Shi Yan was busy at the time, but he didn't hang up either.

Zheng Shuyi could occasionally hear the sound of flipping papers.

The silence lasted for a few minutes. After Shi Yan finished reading a report, he said casually as if he was talking to a person beside him, "What do you want to eat tonight?"

"Hot pot."

Zheng Shuyi replied without hesitation, "The place we went last time."

"Sure."

After a pause, Zheng Shuyi suddenly sat up.

"Never mind, didn't you say your stomach's not very good?"

"It's not that bad," said Shi Yan casually, "We can go if you want."

"Forget it, let's go to Nine Flavors."

"Mm."

Zheng Shuyi hadn't been to Nine Flavors for a very long time.

Mainly because she remembered that Yue Xingzhou liked this shop too. If they accidentally meet, it would bring quite some unpleasant feelings.

But now, she was completely relieved from all her stress, and the man was no longer of any consideration in her life.

In the evening, Nine Flavors was crowded as usual.

There were a few chefs, and half of the guests were still sitting in front of an empty table waiting for their food.

Zheng Shuyi sat across from Shi Yan. After waiting for about ten minutes and drinking two cups of water, she suddenly said, "I'll go use the restroom real quick."

"Mm."

Shi Yan nodded.

But within two minutes of time, after she left, Shi Yan was put into a difficult situation.

A waitress in high heels was carrying a plate of vinegar. When passing Shi Yan, she suddenly staggered and accidentally spilled the black vinegar all on Shi Yan's jacket.

The pungent sour smell of vinegar instantly spread everywhere.

"Ah! I'm so sorry!" The woman immediately started to apologize. But after seeing Shi Yan, she was stunned, and then her voice suddenly turned soft, "I I'm so very sorry. Are you hurt?"

Shi Yan frowned. Looking at the large stain on his jacket, the impatience and annoyance in his eyes were impossible to hide.

"No."

The girl bent over, pursed her lips, and then said again, "Sorry for making your clothes dirty. I can take them home and wash them for you. I'm very sorry."

Just as she finished, she saw Shi Yan taking his jacket off and then casually threw it on the side stool.

"It's okay, no need."

Although he didn't throw it on the floor, the girl could tell he didn't want this jacket anymore.

"I can pay you back."

The girl was very persistent and immediately took out her phone, "We can add WeChat, and I'll pay you back via WeChat pay. I'm really sorry."

She looked at Shi Yan hopefully but didn't notice a person standing behind her.

Shi Yan raised his eyes. His face suddenly didn't look as bad anymore, and even his eyes softened down.

He rejected once more, "No need."

But the girl completely misunderstood the reason for his change in expression.

She became even more determined to add him on WeChat.

"I must pay you back, or else I won't even be able to fall asleep tonight."

Hearing this, Zheng Shuyi was almost about to explode from anger.

It's not because you're sorry, it's because of lust!

She stood there angrily and her eyes seemed like they were breathing fire onto the girl.

But she was still completely unaware, tirelessly trying to get his WeChat.

"I'm really sorry for what happened. I can tell that stains will be pretty difficult to wash off. Here, I can buy you another one tomorrow, you can just give me your number."

"I said, I don't need your money."

Shi Yan's expression and eyes were still soft and gentle, but his tone seemed to have gone to Siberia, "If you insist on standing here, can you move a little?"

He pointed his chin to the person behind her.

"You've been blocking my girlfriend for a long time."

The girl suddenly widened her eyes. Sure enough, after turning around, she saw Zheng Shuyi whose face was turning to the color of coal already.

Her expression turned blue and then pale. She realized her intention was too obvious and quickly left in a hurry.

Zheng Shuyi sat down with unhappiness written all over her face.

She glanced at the back of that girl and angrily frowned. Then she looked at Shi Yan's jacket and felt even worse."

"Why don't you make her pay?" Her tone was pretty angry, "Such an expensive jacket, if she wants it so bad, just let her do it."

Shi Yan looked at her. The anger in him was gone and he put on a smile.

He said quietly, "Shuyi."

Zheng Shuyi's tone was still cold, "What?"

Shi Yan's eyes swept across her face and said slowly, "You look very cute when jealous."

Zheng Shuyi sneered coldly, "Who said I"

"But I don't want you to be jealous."
