YM778.TV Chapter 219 - Hesitation
“Just what? You can’t even say it yourself. In fact, you’ve been waiting for Shen Yu to come back. Millie, it’s been eleven years. Haven’t you been able to face up to your feelings?” Qi Yan asked. “If it was just a sibling’s feelings for a brother, would you value this piece of paper so much?”
“Xiao Yan, don’t say it anymore.” Emily was a little powerless. Her feelings had been exposed, but Emily did not feel embarrassed. After all, in front of Qi Yan, Emily had nothing to hold back. She only had a deep sense of powerlessness.
She forced herself not to inquire about Shen Yu, forced herself not to think about him, and even told herself that Shen Yu would definitely come back. After all, Shen Yu had promised her that he would definitely do it.
However, she had waited for eleven years. When Shen Yu left, she was seven years old, and she was already eighteen years old. Shen Yu still had not returned. Even she herself could not tell whether it was because she was still holding on to hope… or because she was used to waiting.
“Millie, actually, we are both cowards.” Qi Yan laughed self-deprecatingly. When it came to others, she was very clear-headed. But when it came to herself, Qi Yan was also a coward.
“Alright, don’t talk about heavy things. You still have so many things to unpack. Hurry up and unpack your things. After you’re done, come downstairs with me for a run.”
Emily pushed Qi Yan to the side of her bed and placed the rag in her hand on Qi Yan’s hand. She smiled innocently.
“What? Run? I’ll unpack up all these things today. I’ve already exercised enough. You should go by yourself. I won’t accompany you. I was wrong. I’ll pack up my things obediently. I promise I won’t disturb you.”
Qi Yan felt that Emily was taking revenge on her. She knew that she hated things like exercise the most. Her clothes would be smelly. She really could not understand why Emily was so keen on running.
“Fifth Brother, do you want me to call Millie and ask her to come down?” Shen Nan looked at Shen Yu with gratification and spoke. Fortunately, it was still useful to stay by Emily’s side for so many years. At least Emily knew how to reject people. Otherwise, the cold air maker behind him might freeze him to death.
“There’s no need. Leave your car behind. You can go back to the dormitory first.” Shen Yu rejected Shen Nan without hesitation. It seemed that he was not ready to appear in front of Emily yet.
“What?” Shen Nan was puzzled. Didn’t Shen Yu come here to look for Emily? After so many years of not seeing each other, shouldn’t he be eager to see each other?
Shen Nan glanced at Shen Yu, who was still silent. On the other hand, Shen Nan was the first to compromise. He passed his car keys to Shen Yu, and then he felt a little worried. Shen Yu and Shen Nan looked at each other. “Fifth Brother, I just bought this car. Grandpa gave me a reward. You have to cherish it for me.”
“Cut the crap.” Shen Yu was a little impatient. He took Shen Nan’s car keys, then got out of the car and dragged Shen Nan out of the driver’s seat. He sat in the car, then closed the window, and locked the door. He completely ignored Shen Nan’s stunned expression.
When Shen Nan saw that Shen Yu was not paying attention to him, he simply made a scene and walked to his dorm building. He turned around every three steps, and when he saw that Shen Yu had no intention of starting the car, he quickly shook his head. Then, he sped up and left.
Shen Yu did not know how long he had been sitting in the car, playing with his phone. He had never been so hesitant in doing things as he was now. Shen Yu laughed at himself. There were actually times when he did not dare to do something.
Just as he was wondering, he saw a familiar figure appear at the bottom of the dormitory building. She was wearing pink sportswear, a pair of white sports headphones, and a bag of trash in her hand.
After Emily threw the trash into the trash can, she began to move her arms as she walked, doing warm-up exercises. Music was playing in the headphones, so she did not notice that a figure was following behind her.
Emily walked to the playground with ease and began to run quickly. This was a habit she had developed over the years. She would always run a few laps at night to get comfortable. She had originally been afraid that she would be too tired and wanted to relax… However, Qi Yan’s words this afternoon had made her very annoyed. She felt that she needed to vent.
Perhaps it was because she was upset, or perhaps it was because she was too focused on running, Emily completely did not notice that a gaze had been fixed on her. Perhaps she had long been accustomed to the gaze of others on her.
After a full 10 laps, a thin layer of sweat appeared on Emily’s body before she felt much more comfortable. Only then did she stop and take a detour to the school’s supermarket. She picked up the things that Qi Yan had instructed her to buy and walked towards the dormitory building.
It was already very late, and there were not many people on the road. Carrying the things in her hands, Emily placed the earphones in the bag. Suddenly, she felt that something was wrong.. She looked back, but did not see anything.
