The soft eyes dimmed at that moment. He put down the towel in his hand, calmly distanced himself from her, and said coldly: "...No"
You can go anywhere, but you can't follow him
The smile on Tong Yao's face froze on the spot, and she couldn't help but feel chilled in her heart: He said no, just like when she asked him in confusion that day, "Uncle, can I like you?", his firm answer was the same -
He said he couldn't do it that day, and he said he couldn't do it again today...
No matter how fervent your heart is, it will become cold after being poured cold water on it twice.
"You just said clearly that you can arrange wherever you go..." Tong Yao's nose felt sour. She took a deep breath and couldn't help but muttered in a low voice, her voice full of grievances.
Qin Muyuan pursed his lips and fell silent. After a long pause, he patted her shoulder pretending to be relaxed and changed the topic: "Let's go, I'll take you to dinner."
After the episode just now, Tong Yao obviously lost his appetite
At the dining table, Tong Yao twisted his long chopsticks, lowered his head and concentrated on destroying the food on the plate, poking the delicious and fragrant dishes into terrible pieces, but never raised his head to look at Qin Muyuan.
Qin Muyuan didn't order anything. He just ordered a glass of boiled water. He sat opposite and watched her eat quietly, taking a sip from time to time, as if waiting for something...
"Not to your liking?" When she poked the last intact piece of food into pulp, Qin Muyuan finally couldn't stand it anymore and asked lightly.
She shook her head silently and continued to destroy the food with her head down.
"Does that mean she's full?" He frowned slightly. In the image, she didn't seem to have eaten much.
Tong Yao was silent, neither nodding nor shaking his head.
The two of them were at a stalemate in this weird atmosphere. Qin Muyuan waited for more than ten seconds, but still didn't see any reaction from her. Finally, he sighed softly, reached across the table and grabbed her wrist, forcing her to stop her destructive movements.
She was losing her temper, he could tell
"Tong Yao!" Qin Muyuan took the chopsticks from her hand and threw them aside. Then Qin Muyuan spoke slowly, "Let's talk, okay?"
The steady and powerful voice made Tong Yao stiffen and stop nervously.
"I'm sorry about that." Qin Muyuan took a deep breath and got straight to the point, "I drank too much that day and bullied you... I will try my best to make up for you."
"Compensate me?" She suddenly raised her head and laughed at herself, her eyes covered with mist.
What kind of compensation can a man give to a man who is unwilling to take her with him even when he goes abroad to study?
"Where do you want to study? Or what kind of job do you want to do in the future? Or do you need help with life and finances? I can do it all..." Qin Muyuan frowned, thinking of all the possibilities that could help her.
"I don't want these!" Before he could finish speaking, Tong Yao interrupted impulsively, "Why don't you give me what I want?"
She didn't believe it. He didn't know what she wanted?
"Tong Yao..." He frowned
"Uncle, you know I like you!" She finally cried out, slammed the table and stood up, venting her anger and smashing all the plates on the table to the ground. The loud noise attracted the attention of everyone in the restaurant.
, "I don't want any of those compensations!"
That night, she did it voluntarily and didn't need any compensation at all!
But she also hoped that there would be something different between them that night. Why... did he push her away so completely?
"Like it?" He curled his lips with a wry smile, stood up slowly, and looked down at her in anger, "You are still young, do you know what liking her means?"
She doesn't understand anything at all!
"Why don't I know! I..." She shouted impulsively, disgusted with the tone of an adult lecturing a child.
"Tong Yao, you can't even tell the difference between your uncle and Qin Muyuan. Do you know what it means to like?" But he suddenly dropped this sentence, like a bombshell, which made her suddenly silent - she kept calling him uncle.
But he kept saying that he liked it...
Is this kind of love really the love between a man and a woman?
Psychologically speaking, this is just a kind of ignorant worship and admiration that adolescent children have for their elders.
Tong Yao was immediately silenced by his rhetorical question. He opened his mouth, but could not utter a complete sentence.
"You are still too young. When you grow up, you will understand." Qin Muyuan sighed, "I'm really sorry about that matter. I can only do my best to compensate you..."
He is willing to give her everything except the kind of love she wants
After all, she is only 17 years old, and her immature mind can change at any time. She doesn't know what true love is, so he can't give her the feedback she wants - because he is already an adult! She can also bear the so-called feedback.
No!
"But I really like you..." Tong Yao had a sore nose and finally choked up and cried.
The suppressed crying made Qin Muyuan feel a little distressed, but he did not soften his heart. His fingertips gently wiped away the tears on her face, but his voice remained as indifferent as ever: "Then look at me and call my name."
"Qin..." She raised her head, but when she met his clear eyes, her mind suddenly went blank, her lips trembled, and she couldn't say his name.
Why is there such a big difference between the phrase "brother-in-law" and the phrase "Qin Muyuan"?
