Chapter 8: Not Satisfied

Chu Yan was just bored staying at home alone, so she thought of going out for a walk. Unexpectedly, she was controlled by the little black cat in the community for more than ten minutes. She thought it was fun to tease cats, but she definitely had no intention of raising a cat.

She and Shen Xing cooked dinner together. The ingredients were bought from the vegetable market not long ago. When making the tomato and egg soup, Chu Yan habitually added a lot of sugar. Shen Xing saw it but didn't say anything.

The way he and Chu Yan get along has always been based on Chu Yan's unconscious habits. He has never thought of correcting her. Perhaps it would be more accurate to say that he would like whatever Chu Yan thought he would like.

Shen Xing was about to graduate, and using the excuse of writing work documents, after washing up, he went into the study to write his graduation thesis. For some reason, he could not calm down, and from time to time he would go to the door and glance at Chu Yan who was sitting on the sofa watching TV.

Chu Yan was a quiet person. She casually turned on a news channel, leaned against the corner of the sofa with her knees hugged, and her back looked lonely.

For a moment, Shen Xing actually felt that he was no different from Gu Chuan.

He walked out of the study, came to the sofa, bent down and picked up Chu Yan, and when he sat down, Chu Yan sat on his lap.

She was used to his occasional sneak attacks, and looked at him with shining eyes, "Have you finished your work?"

She had no one to talk to and had forgotten whether she had any friends. Shen Xing was the only person in her phone's address book. If Shen Xing was not there, she would be alone and immersed in a world of dead silence.

However, just before that, the drunk Gu Chuan fell in front of Shen Xing and said painfully: "You don't understand, she has changed...become hysterical, I am very scared, she seems to have become someone I don't recognize..."

Shen Xing bent down, gently stroked her forehead with one hand, brushed away her hair, and saw the mark of the scar.

But she never cared about the scar and never felt distressed about it.

Shen Xing saw his own shadow in her beautiful eyes. Unlike before, her eyes were now filled with his shadow.

He laughed crisply and kissed her.

Chu Yan will not change, never.

He seems a little clingy now, but Chu Yan doesn't hate it. In fact, she has always cooperated with Shen Xing's every hug and kiss of her. Every moment, his strong and passionate emotions are gushing towards her. No one would have the heart to reject a person who is confessing his love to her with every look.

Chu Yan fell on the sofa, and Shen Xing leaned on top of her. When they ended their passionate kiss, their breathing became a little disordered.

Shen Xingzang stared at her with his passionate eyes and asked softly: "Are you bored being alone at home?"

Chu Yan thought for a while and nodded, "A little bit, but when I'm bored, I'll send you a message. When I see you reply to me quickly, I don't feel bored anymore."

She actually felt satisfied with such a small thing.

But Shen Xing was not satisfied.

Extremely dissatisfied.

"Our friends are very worried about you. I'll take you to meet them this weekend, okay?"

Chu Yan was a little excited and a little timid, "But I don't remember them..."

"It's okay. I'll get to know them again with you." Shen Xing buried his face in the crook of her neck, her scent lingering on his nose. He smiled briskly and said, "Yan Yan, our friends are all very good people."

Even though the identity he had with her was still fake, and even though letting more people know of her existence would increase the risk of his lies being exposed, he couldn't bear it.

He still remembers clearly that when he was in the second year of junior high school, he sneaked into the Guchuan School sports meeting.

At that time, Chu Yan was participating in the 800-meter race. Her white sportswear was neat and clean. Her white shoes made her look like a fluttering butterfly when she ran. Her high ponytail outlined the curve of youth in the light and shadow. She walked forward without looking back amid the cheers of the crowd. The moment she crossed the finish line, her bright and beautiful smile ran through her youth and every unspeakable dream she had.

But the person waiting for Chu Yan at the finish line at that time was not Shen Xing.

Shen Xing wanted to occupy every stage of Chu Yan's life, but this was not realistic, so in the world of half truth and half falsehood that he built for her, he meanly replaced another person with himself.

Chu Yan asked curiously: "Who are our friends?"

"Let me tell you about your best friend first. Her name is Fang Fang. She was the Chinese class representative of our high school class. Her husband was the vice-monitor of the class. We often met at class reunions. Fang Fang is now a junior high school teacher. You guys would occasionally go shopping and eat together."

"I have a lot of good friends. There's a boy named Gao Fei. I've known him since kindergarten, but he went abroad later, so you haven't met him. Now he and I work in the same company, so we're colleagues."

"They should all be free on the weekends. I want you to meet your old friends and get to know my friends."

Shen Xing held her in his arms as they lay on the sofa, his tone always smiling. When he mentioned his high school life, the nostalgic look he showed from time to time made Chu Yan, who had forgotten that memory, feel strongly involved.

He said that she always ranked first in the grade, which made him, who always ranked second at that time, very dissatisfied.

He also said that one semester, she broke her leg while riding a bicycle, and as the class monitor, he felt obligated to carry her up and down the stairs for a whole month.

He also said that they had actually been attracted to each other a long time ago, and on the day of the graduation ceremony, in order to avoid other people's confessions, the two of them tacitly hid in the shadows behind the comprehensive building.

Under the green camphor tree, they secretly had their first kiss.

Chu Yan listened very carefully, but because she had forgotten everything so completely, most of the time it seemed like she was just eavesdropping on someone else's story.

The more he talked, the brighter the smile on Shen Xing's lips became. But perhaps because he noticed the strangeness in Chu Yan's eyes, his black eyes gradually became more hazy.

Chu Yan couldn't help but touch his face, "Shen Xing, I'm sorry."

He was slightly stunned, "Why are you suddenly saying sorry to me?"

"I made you sad."

Shen Xing's throat suddenly tightened, blood rushed through his body, but his body felt cold. This unbalanced feeling inside and out seemed like a cruel self-torture for a moment.

"Idiot." His voice was a little hoarse. He patted her head and laughed. "You are not wrong. Don't ever apologize to me."

It was too late and Chu Yan couldn't stay up late.

Shen Xing picked her up and carried her into the bedroom. He put her on the bed and covered her with a blanket. He kissed her on the face and said, "Yan Yan, good night."

Just like before, after accompanying her into the bedroom and watching her lie down, he would go to the next room.

But this time, Chu Yan grabbed his hand, "Shen Xing."

He asked, “What’s wrong?”

"Why don't you sleep with me?" She sat up from the bed, her long hair soft as moonlight. A strand of black hair made her exposed skin under her suspender nightgown look as white as jade.

She inserted her fingers into his and intertwined them with his, and she said, "I want to sleep with you."
