Chapter 11: Ahhhh, Shi Yan, Are You Toxic?!

Chapter 11: Ahhhh, Shi Yan, Are You Toxic?!

The sky hadn't started raining yet, but thunder could be constantly heard. Occasionally, a flash of lightning would shoot down, scaring the kittens on the side of the streets.

Just as Zheng Shuyi walked out of the building, a bitterly cold gust of wind carrying leaves on the floor blew towards her.

Accompanied by thunder, the gloomy sky made everything feel even colder. Zheng Shuyi sighed and silently wrapped her scarf tighter.

From here to the front gate was a few hundred meters. Although there were street lights, Zheng Shuyi still subconsciously speeded up her pace.

No vehicles were coming or any other obstacles on the wide road; one could see the end of the street lights at a glance.

Under the bright yellow lights, Zheng Shuyi saw a woman walking towards her.

She was dressed very flamboyantly, with a short black fur coat, high heels, and a small leather box in her hand. It was hard for her not to attract the attention of others.

Zheng Shuyi looked and her and realized that the person was Qin Shiyue.

She was not surprised to see her here, after all, she was born with a silver spoon. Perhaps she lived here, or perhaps she came here to visit relatives.

But Qin Shiyue was a little surprised to see Zheng Shuyi here.

She got closer until they were only a few meters apart and made sure that her eyes weren't lying.

At this distance, it was a bit awkward, as it was impossible to pretend she didn't notice her anymore.

While she was struggling to find a way to greet, Zheng Shuyi spoke first, What a coincidence, why are you here?

"Uh" Qin Shiyue replied, "I came here to meet someone."

The weather was extremely cold, so Zheng Shuyi didn't want to stand there and spend too much time chatting with her.

"It might rain tomorrow morning, don't forget to bring an umbrella when you go to work."

After a few words, the two nodded and continued walking.

But Qin Shiyue turned her head around every few steps to look at Zheng Shuyi's back while muttering in her mouth.

"Why is she here?"

Her thought soon disappeared in the cold wind.

Standing in front of the door of Shi Yan's house, Qin Shiyue held the small box to her chest and showed a flattering smile to the peephole of the door. Just as she was about to press the doorbell, she suddenly remembered something, then dropped her eyebrows and pretended to be exhausted.

After a while, the door opened automatically.

"Uncle," Qin Shiyue said as she walked in, "Are you done with your work?"

No reply. Qin Shiyue stretched her head and looked around.

There was no one in the living room, hallway, or anywhere.

Where did he go?

Where is the girl

There were no signs of anyone here, except for a glass on the table.

Qin Shiyue's good eyesight saw the lipstick mark at the mouth of the glass at a glance.

Ha, there mustve been a girl here.

She was stunned for a moment, and a thought suddenly popped up in her mind.

She just met Zheng Shuyi on the road, could it be because she has been at Shi Yan's house the whole time?

And she noticed that Zheng Shuyi has been writing Shi Yan's interview draft these days, so the two should know each other

"What are you doing?"

Shi Yan's voice suddenly came from behind her, causing her to step a few steps with her box.

Shi Yan came out of the room with his pajamas in his hand, and without even taking a glance at Qin Shiyue, he walked towards the bathroom.

"Uncle!" Qin Shiyue ran over with her box, "Are you alone?"

Shi Yan stopped, glanced at the item in her hand, and asked, "It's so late already, why aren't you home?"

"I'm here to give you the wine."

Qin Shiyue opened the box and showed the wine to Shi Yan, "I thought about it, maybe I'll have to work overtime in the next few days, so I think I should deliver this to you as soon as possible."

Just delivering a drink, she could send anyone to do the job, yet she chose to do it personally to show her sincerity and determination.

The uncoverable tone of pitty in her words was useless to Shi Yan. He heard too much of those recently that he was already immune to it.

"Put it over there," Shi Yan pointed to the wine cabinet.

Qin Shiyue quickly walked there, then heard Shi Yan say, "Then go home."

""

When she placed the wine down, Qin Shiyue was a bit disappointed and was about to go home.

But when she passed by Shi Yan, she glanced at the glass on the table and asked without even thinking, "Uncle, did you have a guest today? Who was it?"

She regretted it the second after asking.

Bi Ruoshan: WTF, this woman only looks average, is he blind??? At first, I thought it was his sister or something???

Bi Ruoshan: Are we in a fantasy world? Who would give up the campus belle3Used to refer to the prettiest girl in the school and hook up with a woman like this?

To be fair, Qin Lezhi wasn't ugly. White skin, small face, pointed chin, slanted eyes.

If it was someone else, she would look pretty good.

But in Bi Ruoshan's eyes, she was used to seeing a beauty like Zheng Shuyi for four whole years, so Qin Lezhi's appearance was nothing in her mind.

Bi Ruoshan: How did you two break up?

Zheng Shuyi: He cheated.

Bi Ruoshan:?

Bi Ruoshan: He cheated on you for this woman?

Zheng Shuyi: Yeah

Bi Ruoshan: Is his brain okay?

Zheng Shuyi: It's because this woman's rich.

Bi Ruoshan: Oh, he thinks he can turn into a Phenix by flapping his wings onto a branch.

Bi Ruoshan: The moral of the story is that these kinds of men are not worth pursuing at all! Or else, you won't even know when you get burnt!

After chatting with Bi Ruoshan, Zheng Shuyi's head was buzzing.

Having a friend who hates the same person as her, she instantly hated Yue Xingzhou even more.

She sat up and tried to calm herself down. Then she clicked to the Contact section of WeChat.

No Shi Yan's friend request.

Fine.

She pasted Shi Yan's phone number in the search bar but still couldn't find his WeChat.

Looks like he blocked searches by phone number.

Zheng Shuyi gritted her teeth and opened her Messenger app, which was full of verification codes and spam, to send Shi Yan a text message.

Zheng Shuyi: I'm home ^_^

Zheng Shuyi: Mr. Shi, have you gone to sleep yet?

After she came out of her shower, there was still no reply.

In the middle of the night, Zheng Shuyi was led by a certain consciousness and woke up in a daze.

She reached out her hand under the pillow and took out the phone and half-squinted her eyes to open her Messenger app. Shi Yan still didn't reply yet.

Her eyes couldn't hold it anymore. As her phone slipped out of her palm, she also fell asleep.

After a while, the phone by the pillow suddenly vibrated.

Even such a small movement woke Zheng Shuyi up.

Her eyes could barely open as she opened her phone. It was a message from Shi Yan.

Zheng Shuyi immediately opened the message.

Shi Yan: TD4TD is the initial pinyin for the characters (tui dao), which literally means pushing (someone/something) over. When used in a case like this, it means for a male to aggressively push over a woman over on the bed, and use your imagination for the rest.

TD

Zheng Shuyi slowly widened her eyes and stared at the screen closely.

After a while, she realized what it meant.

Ahhhh, Shi Yan, are you toxic?!

Zheng Shuyi angrily threw the phone away.

With a loud bang, Zheng Shuyi suddenly opened his eyes.

In the darkness, she blinked again, and gradually saw the light shining through the curtains.

As consciousness gradually returned, she reached out under her pillow again.

The phone was still there.

There were no new messages, and in the chatbox with Shi Yan, there was still no reply.

It turned out that it was just a dream.

Shi Yan didn't reply to her TD".

Nothing.

But Zheng Shuyi was still angered by the Shi Yan in her dream.

Midnight, the heavy rain continued to pour down outside. Zheng Shuyi broke a pencil carved with Mingyu Banks' logo on it and accurately threw it into the trash can.
