Chapter 276 Shy Smile
Song Yan also seemed to have different feelings towards Xu Qin. Meng Yanchen saw all this and felt pain in his heart. He tried to persuade her many times, but he could never break through the thin window paper.
One night, Xu Qin found Meng Yanchen. Her eyes were full of confusion and pain, and she said softly: "Yanchen, I don't know what to do. I'm really tired."
Meng Yanchen knew Xu Qin's character very well. She was not someone who would easily tell her thoughts. Seeing her tired appearance, Meng Yanchen's heart seemed to be cut by a knife. He gently held Xu Qin's hand and comforted her softly: "Qin'er, tell me, what happened? Maybe I can help you."
Xu Qin lowered her head, tears welling up in her eyes. "Song Yan and I... things are becoming more and more complicated. I love him, but I also know that this relationship shouldn't exist. Song Yan also has feelings for me, but he can't face this feeling either."
Meng Yanchen felt mixed emotions after hearing this. He had always loved Xu Qin silently, but he had never expressed it. He knew very well that he could not mix his feelings into this at this time, as it would only make things more complicated. He gently patted Xu Qin's shoulder and said, "Qin'er, some feelings need time to settle. Maybe you need to separate temporarily and give each other some space." There was a hint of helplessness in his eyes, "Maybe you are right, we both need to calm down."
Meanwhile, Song Yan was drinking alone in a bar on the other side. He drank one glass of liquor after another, trying to numb his confused heart with alcohol. He fell in love with his best friend Xu Qin, which made him miserable. He didn't want to betray Meng Yanchen, but he couldn't control his feelings for Xu Qin.
Song Yan met a stranger in the bar. The stranger seemed to see what was on his mind and came over to persuade him: "Brother, emotional matters are the most tormenting, but avoiding them will not solve the problem. Maybe you should face your heart and make a choice."
Song Yan smiled bitterly and made up his mind. The next day, he found Xu Qin and they had a long talk in a cafe. Song Yan looked at Xu Qin with a firm look in his eyes, "Xu Qin, we can't go on like this. I decided to go abroad for a while and leave this city."
Xu Qin heard this, a hint of surprise and sadness flashed in her eyes, but she understood that this was the best choice at the moment. She nodded and said softly: "Okay, Song Yan, I hope everything goes well for you abroad, we...see you later."
In this way, Song Yan left the city, and Xu Qin returned to her peaceful life. Meng Yanchen still silently guarded Xu Qin, and the deep feelings in his heart still had nowhere to tell.
As time went by, the relationship between Meng Yanchen and Xu Qin slowly returned to its previous intimacy. They often went out for walks together and talked about work and trivial matters in life, but Meng Yanchen knew in his heart that the subtle feelings between the two had not disappeared, but were carefully buried by them.
One weekend morning, the sun was shining brightly, and Meng Yanchen suggested, "Qin'er, let's go to the town outside the city to have some fun and relax."
Xu Qin was stunned for a moment, then agreed with a smile, "Okay, I haven't been to the town for a long time, it's a good time to relax."
They drove to the town, and the tranquility and natural beauty of the town gradually relaxed Xu Qin. Along the way, Meng Yanchen kept finding topics to make Xu Qin laugh, allowing her to temporarily forget her worries. When they arrived in the town, they found a quaint cafe, ordered two cups of coffee, sat by the window, and admired the scenery outside.
Xu Qin picked up the coffee, took a sip, and exclaimed: "The coffee here is really good, and the environment is very comfortable."
Meng Yanchen smiled and nodded, "Yes, this place always makes people feel peaceful. How are you doing recently? Are there any troubles at work?"
Xu Qin shook her head gently, "Work is fine, but... sometimes, I still think of Song Yan."
Meng Yanchen's heart sank slightly, but he didn't show it. He just said gently: "This is all normal. After all, you have so many memories between you. Time will slowly heal everything."
Xu Qin lowered his head in thought, with a trace of confusion in his eyes, "Yanchen, sometimes I really don't know how to face my feelings. I know that some things are impossible, but I can't help thinking about them in my heart."
Meng Yanchen held her hand and said softly, "Qin'er, don't put too much pressure on yourself. Everything will pass. The important thing is that you have to be happy and learn to let go."
Xu Qin felt the warmth in Meng Yanchen's palm and was touched. She raised her head, looked into Meng Yanchen's eyes, and said softly, "Yanchen, thank you for always being by my side and supporting me."
Meng Yanchen smiled and shook his head, "We are friends, this is what we should do."
In the afternoon, they strolled along the streets of the town. The shops on both sides of the street were full of ancient atmosphere. Xu Qin enthusiastically took Meng Yanchen into a handicraft shop and carefully selected some small accessories. Meng Yanchen stood aside, looking at her focused expression, and the long-hidden feelings in his heart surged up again.
They enjoyed a simple but delicious lunch in a small restaurant. Xu Qin happily tasted the local specialties with a long-lost smile on her face. Meng Yanchen looked at her and felt relaxed and satisfied.
After lunch, they continued to stroll along the streets of the town. Xu Qin suddenly stopped and pointed to an old-fashioned movie theater in front of them. "Yanchen, let's go watch a movie."
Meng Yanchen nodded in agreement, and the two walked into the cinema and selected a classic old movie. In the dim cinema, Xu Qin leaned on Meng Yanchen's shoulder and whispered, "This feels so good, as if we have returned to the past."
Meng Yanchen's heart moved, and he gently held Xu Qin's hand, feeling her warmth. He knew how precious this moment was to them. It was late, and they sat in the town square, watching the night fall. The twinkling lights reflected on Xu Qin's face, making her look particularly beautiful. Meng Yanchen couldn't help but say, "Qin'er, you are really beautiful."
Xu Qin was slightly stunned, then showed a shy smile, "Yanchen, you are always so good at talking. The deep affection in his heart became stronger. He knew how important Xu Qin occupied in his heart, but he also understood that some feelings could only be buried deep in the heart and never spoken out.
It was late at night, and they returned to the city. Meng Yanchen sent Xu Qin home. Before leaving, Xu Qin said softly: "Yanchen, I am really happy today, thank you."
Meng Yanchen looked at her gently, "No need to thank me, as long as you are happy, I will be satisfied."
