Meeting you in autumn

Before anyone could respond, Shen Chen angrily hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Shen Chen lay on the bed feeling depressed.

He recalled everything that had happened at the restaurant that day, and a feeling he couldn't quite describe welled up inside him.

He knew he had a special feeling for Guan Yu, but he never expected it to develop like this.

For the next few days, Shen Chen stayed in the hotel and didn't go to see Jing Yi or Guan Yu again. He needed time to calm down and think about what his feelings for Guan Yu really were.

Meanwhile, Jing Yi and Guan Yu are also trying to repair their relationship...

Jing Yi roughly pulled Guan Yu to a secluded corner. Seeing their tense standoff, Chen Fang wisely stopped and didn't follow.

"Who is he?" Jing Yi stared intently at Guan Yu, veins bulging on his forehead, clearly struggling to suppress the raging anger within him. He tried his best to keep his voice as gentle as possible, not wanting to frighten the girl in front of him.

However, when faced with Jing Yi's questioning, Guan Yu seemed to be frozen in place, remaining motionless and simply lowering her head silently.

She bit her lip tightly, her hands twisting together nervously, her heart filled with turmoil.

She really didn't know how to explain that person's identity to Jing Yi, nor did she know how to make things clear so that Jing Yi wouldn't misunderstand.

Upon seeing this, Jing Yi's anger flared up again, like a volcano about to erupt.

Despite this, he still forced himself to speak and continued softly, "Not going to talk? Hmm?" His voice rose slightly at the end, carrying a hint of barely perceptible threat.

At this moment, Guan Yu finally slowly raised her head, her beautiful eyes filled with struggle and hesitation.

“I…” She opened her mouth as if to say something, but in the end all her words turned into a soft sigh, and then she closed her mouth again and remained silent.

At this moment, Jing Yi could no longer suppress his impulse. He took a step forward, grabbed Guan Yu's slender waist, and pulled her tightly into his arms.

Then, without warning, he lowered his head and kissed Guan Yu's delicate red lips fiercely. The kiss was full of aggression and punishment; Jing Yi sucked and gnawed wildly, as if he wanted to swallow Guan Yu whole.

After a moment, Jing Yi finally released Guan Yu from his embrace.

Caught off guard, Guan Yu was momentarily stunned, her eyes instantly filling with tears, her face full of grievance.

She gasped for breath, trying to calm her wildly beating heart.

Seeing that she still seemed unwilling to say anything, Jing Yi took a deep breath and tried his best to calm himself down. "You like him?" His voice trembled slightly.

Upon hearing his words, Guan Yu suddenly raised her head, looked at Jing Yi, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

Seeing her reaction, Jing Yi's heart sank. "Just as I thought..." He then turned to leave.

"No!" Guan Yu hurriedly grabbed Jing Yi's hand, "It's not what you think..."

Jing Yi stopped and turned to look at Guan Yu. "What's wrong?"

Guan Yu hesitated for a moment, then finally mustered the courage to say, "I don't like him. The person I like is you, Jing Yi." After saying that, she blushed and lowered her head.

Upon hearing this, Jing Yi's anger instantly dissipated, replaced by joy and relief.

How could he possibly leave? He was just trying to scare her.

He then slowly walked up to Guan Yu, reached out and pulled her into his arms, embracing her tightly. "That's good... I thought you really liked him."

Guan Yu hugged him and whispered, "Ayi, please let me explain. It's not what you think."

"Okay." Jing Yi used all his strength to hug the person in front of him tightly, as if he wanted to meld the other person into his own body. He slowly closed his eyes and responded softly.

"Ah Yi, that person today is called Shen Chen, he's Aunt Su's son. He's been living abroad and only just returned to China yesterday," Guan Yu explained softly, leaning against Jing Yi's warm chest.

"Ah Yi, I'm so sorry, it's all my fault for not telling you these things sooner." Guan Yu's voice grew softer and softer, tinged with guilt and remorse.

Jing Yi listened quietly to her words, and the unease he had felt due to the misunderstanding gradually dissipated. After a while, he spoke gently, "I believe you."

Hearing Jing Yi's unwavering trust, Guan Yu couldn't help but take a deep breath in a corner where he couldn't see her, and her heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled back into place.

Immediately afterwards, the two looked at each other and smiled, and all the unpleasantness vanished in an instant.

They emerged from the corner hand in hand, and Chen Fang, who had been watching them closely, immediately smiled with satisfaction upon seeing this.

However, at that moment, Chen Fang seemed to suddenly remember something important, and his expression changed slightly.

He hurried over to Jing Yi and said anxiously, "Brother Yi, something's wrong! Have we been waiting here for too long? The other party might have already gotten impatient and left!"

Upon hearing this, Jing Yi frowned slightly, a hint of worry showing in his eyes.

Seeing this, Guan Yu, who had been watching his reaction closely, quickly said considerately, "Ah Yi, since you have important business to attend to, then hurry up and go! Don't delay us."

“But…” Jing Yi opened his mouth, as if he had something else to say, but Guan Yu hurriedly interrupted him: “Don’t worry, Jing Yi, I will call you as soon as I get home to let you know I’m safe!”

Jing Yi originally wanted to persevere a little longer, but suddenly the extremely important matter of today flashed through his mind. He frowned and a look of helplessness appeared on his face.

In the end, he nodded in agreement with Guan Yu's arrangement, and then left hurriedly with Chen Fang.

Guan Yu stood quietly, watching Jing Yi's departing figure until that familiar back disappeared from sight.

For some reason, tears uncontrollably slid down her cheeks and streamed down her face.

Her lips trembled slightly as she whispered in a voice only she could hear, "Ah Yi, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry. Actually, I didn't want to deceive you, but how could I be so selfish? I can't disregard the safety of the entire family for my own feelings."

“If my choice leads to disaster for my family, it will be the sin of my life. Please believe me, Ah Yi, once all these troubles are resolved, I will tell you the whole truth without reservation.”
