Chapter 35: Know When to Stop

"Are you... is it too noisy inside?" Zixuan asked Yipin with a faint smile on her lips.

"Yes, a bit!" Yipin shrugged and gave a little smile.

He silently told himself that this was the kind of person he should like: gentle, considerate, beautiful, with long legs, fair skin, and big, bright eyes.

Feelings could be cultivated slowly. Wouldn't they develop after spending more time together?

"Maybe... can I add you on WeChat?" Zixuan asked nervously, fidgeting with her fingers.

The two of them quietly stared at the silent sea while behind them came cheers, singing, and the sounds of drunken people.

"Sure!" Yipin smiled, and they added each other as friends.

At this moment, Shen Yu was so angry that he stamped his feet. Looking at the photo, a wave of irritation welled up in his heart. For some reason, he just couldn't sit still. He paced back and forth in the room, looking at the cold food on the table.

"Who's that woman?"

Shen Yu was furious, but still managed to send a message to Yipin patiently.

Yipin opened his phone. Just as he was about to accept Zixuan's friend request, he saw the message from Shen Yu. He inexplicably felt a twinge of guilt.

"Guess!"

Not knowing what else to say, he sent a cryptic message.

Immediately, his phone rang.

"Hello!" Yipin looked blank, with a flicker in his eyes.

"Where are you?" Shen Yu's voice was cold, the coldest it had ever been.

"On the cruise ship. It might be a while before I can get back!" Yipin explained softly.

After explaining to Shen Yu, Yipin hung up the phone and looked back at Zixuan.

"Who was that? Your girlfriend?" Zixuan asked nervously, with a hint of disappointment on her face.

"Ah? No, my roommate. A guy!" Yipin gave a little smile, but his mind was elsewhere as he stared at the sea.

The group played for a long time. It was almost one o'clock in the morning when the ship docked. Everyone was quite drunk. They paired up in twos. Yipin and Zixuan walked at the back. They were the only two still sober.

As they stepped onto the shore, they saw a familiar figure squatting by the sea, smoking a cigarette. As always, the figure exuded an air of coldness.

But there was a hint of rascality and impatience on the face, making people afraid to approach.

Seeing everyone getting off the ship, Shen Yu put out his cigarette and walked over slowly.

"Why are you here?" Yipin was shocked. There was a warm feeling in his heart. Could it be that Shen Yu had been waiting for him all night?

"Waiting for you!" Shen Yu said coldly. The breath coming out of his mouth was white, clearly indicating that he had been chilled by the wind.

The two looked into each other's eyes. There was a hint of ambiguity in the air.

"Is he your... roommate?"

Zixuan's gentle voice interrupted their eye - contact.

"Yes!" Yipin lowered his head, feeling a bit guilty as he looked at his white sneakers.

"Shen Yu, Zixuan!" He simply introduced them.

"Hello!" Zixuan had a slight smile on her lips, looking a bit obsequious.

Shen Yu curled his lips into a smile: "Hello!"

But there was unhappiness in his eyes. Their eye - contact was filled with a hint of hostility.

Then Shen Yu took off his coat and put it on Yipin. He curled his lips into a smile: "Are you freezing?"

Yipin was used to this, but it was a bit embarrassing in front of so many people: "No, you wear it. The wind is strong by the sea!"

"Hey? Shen Yu?" Wang Xiangyang staggered over, with a slight smile on his lips.

Shen Yu kept staring directly at Yipin.

Zixuan frowned at this scene, with a hint of confusion in the corner of her eyes.

Watching the people disperse and saying goodbye to Zixuan, and seeing Wang Xiangyang walking away with a girl in his arms, Yipin finally turned back to look at Shen Yu.

There was a hint of unhappiness on Shen Yu's face, and his brows were tightly knitted.

"What are you... doing? Why are you pulling a long face? I didn't ask you to wait for me!" Yipin frowned, looking blank himself.

"Zixuan, right? Who is she?" Shen Yu grabbed Yipin who was about to leave and asked angrily.

"I don't know!" Yipin told the truth. He really didn't know what that girl did. They had just added each other as friends.

"Then why did you post her on your Moments?" Shen Yu almost demanded, his brows furrowed.

"It's none of your business!" Yipin straightened his clothes and walked towards the car. The wind was bitterly cold. He opened the car door with a helpless smile on his lips.

He sat in the car for a long time. Shen Yu showed no sign of getting in. He just stood by the sea, smoking in the cold wind.

Yipin was also angry. He hadn't offended anyone, but this sudden change in Shen Yu's attitude was really hard to bear.

"Are you coming or not?" Yipin rolled down the window and roared. Seeing that Shen Yu still didn't move, only the cold sea wind blew in.

In a fit of anger, he got out of the car and walked in the cold wind, tightening his clothes.

Was this an interrogation? It was just inexplicable.

After a long time, he still couldn't find any cars. Yipin's anger hadn't subsided.

At this time, a black car caught up from behind and stopped steadily in front of Yipin.

"Get in the car!" Shen Yu's cold voice came from the car.

Yipin continued walking as if he hadn't heard.

"Yipin, know when to stop!" Shen Yu said coldly. He was already full of anger. Seeing Yipin flirting with that Zixuan girl made him even more irritated.

Seeing that Yipin had no intention of getting in the car, Shen Yu stopped the car, walked over, and threw Yipin over his shoulder, putting him in the passenger seat.

"You..." Yipin was furious.

"Yes, I'm crazy!" Shen Yu could guess what Yipin was going to scold and replied.

Yipin kept a cold face and frowned.

The two didn't say a word during the whole journey.

"Shen Yu, do you think this is normal?" Yipin suddenly asked.

"What's normal?" Shen Yu finally calmed down. Looking at Yipin in front of him, he clearly knew what the other person was talking about, but he just didn't want to admit it.

"Us!" Yipin lowered his head, looking at his dirty white sneakers and frowning.

Shen Yu didn't say a word. He just drove the car silently.

"I want to find a girlfriend!" Yipin said coldly.

Shen Yu frowned but remained silent.

The blowing wind seemed to be frozen. It was extremely cold.

"Okay!"

After a long time, Shen Yu seemed to use all his strength to say coldly. His tone was full of sadness.

When they got back to the room, Shen Yu silently walked into his own room.

Yipin looked at the food on the table. They were all his favorite meat dishes.

Suddenly, he felt a bit sad. He opened the food and took a few bites. It was a bit cold, but it was still delicious.

Looking at the closed door, Yipin suddenly felt sad.

At this time, there was a message from Zixuan on his phone.

"Are you home?"

Looking at the message, he felt irritated.

He took out a pack of cigarettes from his bag, took one out, and smoked silently. It seemed that his nicotine addiction had been getting stronger these days.
