One Thousand and Forty-Seven Pampering (Part 3)

Shu Nian originally thought that Ye Yan would take her to a bar or something like that, but in the end, Ye Yan just went to the store to buy a dozen beers and parked the car directly by the river.

It was almost autumn, and the evening breeze had already dispersed the heat of the summer, bringing a hint of coolness.

Shu Nian sat by the river, looking at the lights on the river in confusion, and the depression in her heart made her breathless. Ye Yan opened a bottle of wine for her, handed it to her, and asked, "How much do you drink?"

"...I didn't drink much before, maybe one bottle will make me drunk." She took a sip, and the cold liquid slid down her throat, making her feel cold all over.

"If everyone drinks beer like you, one bottle can last until dawn." Ye Yan said, looking up, and with a heroic "grunt", he drank the whole bottle in one gulp. Shu Nian smiled, "I can see. You drink a lot, and your stomach is damaged by drinking like this, right?"

"Really." Ye Yan narrowed his eyes, looked at her, turned his head and looked at the river view opposite, "In the past, a large group of us liked to come here late at night to race. After racing, we sat here to drink. After drinking, we were taken back by those girls. The next day, we were severely scolded by the elders at home."

"Is it Mr. Tang and Dr. Fu?"

"Yes. There is a large group of people. If I introduce them in detail, I am afraid it will take half a day." Ye Yan looked at her, "Next time, I will take you to meet them."

Shu Nian smiled, "The girls in your group are so beautiful, have you never had a girlfriend?"

When she asked this, Ye Yan straightened his face. After a while, "Shu Nian, five years ago, I said I would bring you here, and I was sincere."

Shu Nian smiled slightly. Ye Yan said this before, but she never took it seriously. Now when she heard him mention it again, she already knew that he was not lying to her.

"Five years ago, why did you want me to go with you?" Shu Nian looked at him, the evening breeze blew through the messy hair on her cheeks, she raised her hand to tidy it behind her ears. Only now did the redness on her cheeks slowly fade away. "Weren't we unfamiliar with each other before?"

And we even disliked each other.

Unacquainted?

Ye Yan's eyes were filled with many rich and complex emotions, Shu Nian wanted to understand, but she couldn't see through it. In the end, Ye Yan didn't say anything, just raised his head and took a big sip of wine.

Shu Nian didn't ask any more questions.

The two of them were enjoying the evening breeze,

drinking and chatting. Listening to Ye Yan talking about his past of bustling and rebellious youth, Shu Nian envied him. Compared with him, her life was much paler.

But...

In the future...

It will be better!

Her life will gradually become more colorful. Without Xiang Muyang, with Ye Yan, everything will become completely different...

Shu Nian looked forward to it silently. Before she knew it, she had drunk a lot of wine. She was dizzy and lying on Ye Yan's lap.

Ye Yan held her, full of softness and fragrance, which made him feel soft. He looked down at her in the moonlight and street lights, and saw that her face was flushed and she looked naive when she was drunk. She was not asleep either, so she looked at him with her eyes open, her eyes a little blurred and scattered.

"Ye Yan, I want to drink more..." Her voice was sweet and soft, as if it was dipped in honey. Such coquettishness made it almost impossible for people to refuse.

But...

"Don't drink anymore." Ye Yan picked her up, "Go back. You have to go to the hospital tomorrow."

Shu Nian was a good drinker, and she didn't cry anymore, just let him pick her up and put her in the car.

Ye Yan drank and didn't drive. He found a designated driver to drive the car. During the whole journey, Shu Nian leaned on his chest. His chest was very cold, and when Ye Yan found it, it was already wet. Looking at Shu Nian again, she was closing her eyes, but she was also in tears.

Ye Yan sighed and hugged her tighter.

————

After a while, the car drove directly to the garage of Shuixie Yunting.

After the designated driver left, Ye Yan helped Shu Nian out of the car. Shu Nian was wearing high heels and couldn't stand steadily. Ye Yan was afraid that she would sprain her ankle, so he squatted down, took off her shoes for her, and threw them in the car. Then, he was going to get the pair of flat shoes he bought for her last time from the trunk for her to change.

However, just as she stood up, her hand was suddenly held by Shu Nian.

"Don't leave..."

Shu Nian seemed to be afraid that he would leave, looking up at him, with tears flashing in her eyes, and pleading with a bit of pity, "Don't leave me..."

Ye Yan felt suffocated and painful.

She was like a child like this. A child who had no sense of security and was afraid that others would leave her at any time and abandon her.

He turned back and wiped the tears from her face lovingly, "I'm not going anywhere."

I don't want any shoes!

He turned around and turned his back to her, "Come on, I'll carry you home."

Shu Nian looked at the back in a daze, and when she heard the word "home", her heart was filled with sour bubbles. She obediently lay on his back, and suddenly, she sighed softly: "I don't have a home anymore..."

Ye Yan's heart ached.

He looked at her slightly sideways, and could only see her wet eyelashes.

"Ye Yan, let's go out for a walk, okay?"

"...Okay."

Ye Yan carried her on his back and walked out of the garage. It was late at night, and the community was very quiet. Ye Yan carried Shu Nian on his back, step by step, walking in the community.

"In the past, I liked to lie on my dad's back like this. He would carry me to many places. Every time I lay on his back, I felt that all my worries were gone and I was not afraid of anything." In the middle of the night, her voice was a little vague and trembling.

Speaking of this, she was quiet for a while. When she spoke again, her tone was gloomy, "But, now it's no longer possible..."

"Now I'm here." Ye Yan turned his head slightly to look at her, "As long as you like, I can always carry you like this."

"Always?" Shu Nian sighed these two words with a trembling voice, as if he was uncertain, "Will you really always be there?"

"Always." Ye Yan's tone was firm, and after a pause, he added, "As long as you don't drive me away, I will always be there."

"Before, my mother also said...I will always be there..." When Shu Nian mentioned this, he lost his voice and choked up, "But later, when I opened my eyes, I couldn't find her anymore...My father and I were abandoned by her...She didn't want us anymore..."

Ye Yan's chest was swollen and painful. Obviously, she had experienced all this, but he seemed to feel the same way. He was so depressed that he couldn't say a word.

All the comfort was pale at this moment.

"Ye Yan..." Shu Nian suddenly called him.

"Hmm?"

"Actually, I'm so jealous of her... I'm really jealous..."

"Her?"

"Ning Meng..."

Ye Yan froze for a moment, and his breathing became heavier.
