At this moment, Yi Pin had no idea that Shen Yu had witnessed the whole scene of him walking into the hotel arm - in - arm with Qi Mingyang.
Shen Yu originally intended to go straight home. But seeing that Yi Pin was alone, without his wallet or ID card, and seemingly reluctant to go home, Shen Yu grew worried. He was afraid that Yi Pin might do something out of line.
So he drove after Yi Pin all the time. Yi Pin seemed deeply sad. He wandered aimlessly. He felt in his pocket for cigarettes but found none, then quietly stuffed his hands back into his pockets.
The weather was cold. Several times, Shen Yu had the urge to get out of the car and bring Yi Pin a coat, but he managed to hold back. Finally, he followed Yi Pin to a hotel. Maybe because Yi Pin didn't have his ID card, he stayed in the lobby.
Shen Yu was a bit hesitant. He wondered whether he should go in, but then he thought Yi Pin probably didn't want to see him at the moment.
So he resisted the impulse and stayed in the car. He thought Yi Pin would go home when he had no other choice. But he saw Yi Pin sitting there, staring intently at his phone. Shen Yu couldn't tell what he was looking at, and Yi Pin's face looked solemn.
Finally, Yi Pin made a call. Shen Yu unconsciously glanced at his own phone, but it remained dark.
Not long after, Qi Mingyang ran into the hotel. The two of them hugged each other and walked towards the elevator, then disappeared from sight.
Shen Yu was annoyed but helpless. He could only silently pray that Qi Mingyang would come down soon. But he waited for a long time, it seemed like an eternity, and no one appeared.
In the car, Shen Yu frowned. Finally, he drove home dejectedly.
Looking at Yi Pin's quiet and dark room, Shen Yu felt a sense of loss. It seemed that their relationship had been improving, and Yi Pin seemed to have changed his attitude towards him. But after one night, everything seemed to have changed.
Or perhaps Yi Pin had always approached him with prejudice, and this prejudice had never faded.
Shen Yu stared coldly at the empty room.
He tossed and turned in bed alone. Since Yi Pin came into his life, his life had been completely disrupted. He had never experienced a regular life again.
Now even his daily routine had changed a lot because of Yi Pin. He used to never have trouble falling asleep, but now he suffered from insomnia more and more often.
A faint smile appeared on Shen Yu's lips. He thought it was quite amusing that he, on the verge of turning thirty, was now bothered by matters of the heart.
He kept hoping that Yi Pin would come back, but there was no sign of his return throughout the night.
The next morning, Shen Yu got up early. A look of helplessness appeared on his face. Looking at himself in the mirror, his eyes were dark with red bloodshot eyes. He looked terrifying.
This kind of situation was rare for him. But why was he like this now? He thought he was getting old, yet he was acting like a young man.
A faint smile played on Shen Yu's lips. He went into the kitchen to prepare some food, then slowly came out and ate his breakfast. Without Yi Pin, his time seemed incomplete. He didn't know where to place his thoughts.
Lin Yangcong walked out with a smile. Seeing the scene in front of her, she smiled.
"Wow, Mr. Shen is so nice. He prepares breakfast every day!" Lin Yangcong said with a big smile as she walked over slowly.
"Shut up and eat. Don't call me 'Mr. Shen'!" Shen Yu said coldly with a faint smile on his lips.
"Okay!" Lin Yangcong shrugged with a smile. Then she noticed that Yi Pin, the main eater at the table, was absent. "By the way, where is Pinzi today?"
"Maybe he's out dating someone!" Shen Yu frowned. Suddenly, he lost his appetite for the breakfast in front of him.
For Shen Yu, he never really cared whether the food was delicious or not. He just ate when he was hungry. Having three meals a day was just to maintain his energy and keep healthy.
So he often envied the way Yi Pin ate. People always wanted what they didn't have.
After breakfast, Shen Yu called Yi Pin. The phone rang for a long time, but no one answered. Shen Yu thought the guy was still angry with him, so he didn't think much about it.
But when he heard that it was Qi Mingyang who answered the phone, he frowned. His head seemed to explode.
"Who? Shen Yu? How about this? I was the one who accompanied him last night. Who was it that said he liked you? Now it seems that when it really mattered, he thought of me!" Qi Mingyang said with a big smile. He glanced at the bathroom door.
"Where's Yi Pin? Let him answer the phone!" Shen Yu frowned and said coldly. His eyes were cold.
"Maybe he doesn't want to talk to you!" Qi Mingyang's clear laughter echoed in Shen Yu's ears for a long time.
Then Shen Yu heard the sound of the phone being hung up. He felt a surge of anger and angrily hit the phone in his hand.
"What's wrong?" Lin Yangcong was obviously startled. All along, no matter what happened, Mr. Shen had always been calm. It seemed that he could handle anything, and things were never as difficult as they seemed. He always made people feel safe.
So she rarely saw him at a loss or out of control. Maybe it was because she couldn't understand his feelings.
"It's okay!" Shen Yu said coldly.
"I... I'm going out!" Shen Yu put down his chopsticks, said coldly, picked up his coat and walked out.
Lin Yangcong was left alone at home. She felt sad and confused. These two people were always like this. Sometimes they seemed like lovers, and sometimes they seemed like enemies.
She really couldn't figure them out, so she didn't try to stop Shen Yu. She couldn't even sort out her own life, let alone understand the relationship between these two.
Everything seemed predestined.
A faint smile appeared on Yi Pin's lips. He slowly walked out, carelessly wiping the water off with a towel.
There were still some water droplets on his head. Qi Mingyang was a bit mesmerized. Every move of Yi Pin, the muscle lines on his upper body, and his perfect profile seemed to be the definition of perfection.
"You're so handsome, Xiaopinzi!" Qi Mingyang said with a smile.
"Need you to tell me?" Yi Pin frowned but didn't say much more. A faint smile appeared on his face. It seemed that he felt much better after a good sleep.
Looking at Qi Mingyang in front of him, he was speechless. This guy could have left last night, but he fell asleep first, and this guy just stayed until morning.
