Chapter 520: If you don't take your hands off, how am I supposed to get down?
Perhaps because the movie was about to start, the lights in the cinema corridor had become incredibly dim, giving off an eerie, chilling feeling.
It was enough to make one's back turn cold.
With some unpleasant memories from the past surfacing in her mind, Yin Yezi shrank her neck and called out, "Hey! Don't walk so fast, wait for me."
Shen Yan turned his head and only then realized that someone had actually followed him, though he didn't know which of the twin sisters it was.
Out of a playful nature, the sisters not only had the same hairstyle but even wore the same style of clothing, so much so that others often confused them; it was better when the sisters stood together, as one could identify them by their skin condition or by observing their accessories.
Under normal circumstances, if one appeared alone, it was truly baffling.
Shen Yan wasn't quite sure what Yin Yezi's personality used to be like—it leaned more toward cold and aloof—but perhaps due to a change in status, she had become increasingly eccentric, jumping around like a mischievous monkey; Chen Shanni was often instigated by her to play tricks that blurred the line between truth and falsehood.
Afterward, watching the blank expressions of others, she couldn't help but let out silvery, joyful laughter.
Due to the lighting, Shen Yan couldn't see her expression clearly, and he didn't know if it was his imagination, but he felt this girl seemed to be afraid of something.
He subconsciously stopped his pace.
After the awkward incident last night, Shen Yan felt that Yin Yezi shouldn't be giving him a pleasant look.
Therefore, the person in front of him was most likely Chen Shanni.
Of course, having been fooled once was enough; Shen Yan would not jump to conclusions about who the person was.
Only after Yin Yezi approached did she breathe a sigh of relief, then asked the question weighing on her mind: "Why were you in such a rush to move yesterday? Were you hiding from me?"
Great! Now he could be sure.
"Don't joke, do I have any reason to hide from you? It was just that little thing, it's no big deal." Shen Yan flatly denied it and deployed a provocation tactic from the Thirty-Six Stratagems.
"You aren't so old-fashioned and conservative that you can't let go of that little thing, are you?"
Sure enough, just as he expected, Yin Yezi stiffened her neck and raised her volume, making herself sound more confident: "Who... who can't let go? I'll just treat it as having been bitten by a dog."
Shen Yan curled his lips; in fact, he really wanted to say, who exactly was the dog? His lips had been sucked on several times, almost to the point of breaking the skin.
But he chose to bear it all in silence, otherwise, how would he be any different from a blockhead?
Yin Yezi asked again: "Then why didn't you confess to my sister last night? My sister, she..."
Yin Yezi had intended to say that her sister had always liked him, but given the situation last night, her sister seemed to have other plans, so Yin Yezi swallowed the rest of the sentence.
Uh...
Shen Yan hadn't expected her to ask this; the most important thing right now was to stabilize the situation. He definitely couldn't confess, otherwise, where would that leave Wu Yueer and the others?
Better to bluff his way through it first.
"Don't worry about so much, I have my own plans."
However, Yin Yezi didn't intend to let him stall: "That won't do, you must hurry up and take action. What kind of man is so indecisive? If you like her, you like her; if you don't, you don't. Maybe my sister would have said yes to you."
"Big sister, I haven't prepared how to take action, okay?"
"You weren't prepared last night either, so why didn't I see you hesitate then?"
Shen Yan was left speechless by her retort.
Damn it! Fabricating one lie requires countless more to cover it up; his brain cells were almost dead, and he still couldn't find a way to break the deadlock.
Finally, he simply unleashed his ultimate move to make her brain crash, so she would stop chattering endlessly.
"To tell you the truth, after last night, my heart has been in a mess. That feeling is like the wind suddenly rising, ruffling a pool of spring water. Do you understand what I mean?"
???
Yin Yezi's brain CPU was completely fried. She didn't know if she had misunderstood, but the literal meaning should be that after that kiss, Shen Yan's heart was in turmoil.
In other words, his feelings for her sister had wavered.
That was why he couldn't make up his mind whether to confess.
So this guy wasn't as indifferent as he appeared; in reality, he cared quite a lot.
That should be the right way to understand it, right?
In an instant, Yin Yezi's face turned so red it could bleed; thanks to the dim environment, Shen Yan didn't notice the telltale signs.
Seeing that she had finally quieted down, Shen Yan quietly let out a breath of stale air.
Then he prepared to turn and continue walking.
However, just at this moment, Yin Yezi felt a flicker of dizziness, sensing a black shadow quickly dart past her leg. She focused her eyes to look.
"Oh my god!"
Her face turned as white as a sheet of paper in an instant.
She leaped up, her thighs clamping tightly around Shen Yan's waist, her hands wrapping around the back of his neck, hanging on him like a sloth.
"?" Shen Yan was baffled by this sudden action.
He hadn't expressed any other intentions, so why did this girl throw herself into his arms the moment she came up? The "headlights" on her chest pressed against him, making his mind wander, and the fresh, pleasant scent of a young woman wafted over.
Damn! This is getting hard to handle!
"What are you doing? Get down, quickly!" Shen Yan shouted in a low, angry voice.
Yin Yezi had no intention of letting go; she didn't even realize her own situation, only trembling and saying in terror: "There... there's a mouse!"
Shen Yan looked in the direction her finger was pointing, but the corridor was completely empty.
"Where? I don't see anything."
"Right there, a huge one, it scared me to death."
It was clear that Yin Yezi was afraid of mice to the bone; while speaking, she didn't even dare to turn her head, just kept pointing behind her.
Her delicate body was pressed tightly against Shen Yan, wishing she could rub her whole self into his body.
It seemed that only this could give her a shred of security.
Shen Yan was helpless, so he had to pat her back, soothing her with a voice as warm as a spring breeze: "Alright, alright, don't be afraid. You must have seen it wrong; there's nothing there."
"Really? If you're lying, you're a puppy!"
"Look for yourself!"
Hearing this, Yin Yezi finally turned her head timidly, and sure enough, there was no longer any shadow of a mouse there.
"Whew!" She let out a long sigh of relief, as if a heavy burden had been lifted.
Turning her head back again, she met those deep, pitch-black eyes, and Yin Yezi's pupils shrank violently.
Only at this very moment did she realize she was clinging tightly to Shen Yan, and the thick masculine pheromones seemed to penetrate from every angle, invading her senses and making her heart race.
This posture... was simply even more explosive and intimate than last night.
If she wasn't mistaken, a large, powerful palm was currently supporting her right there.
"Swish!" In an instant, Yin Yezi's cheeks turned into red Apples, and she lowered her head, saying in a voice as soft as a mosquito's, "If you don't take your hand away, how am I supposed to get down?"
If it weren't for the fact that it was so quiet here that one could hear a pin drop, Shen Yan might not have even heard her clearly.
Only then did he realize his hand was placed in a position it shouldn't have been.
