Chapter 131 I Want to See You
With a loud thud, Shen Yanqiu's cry of pain reached Chen Can's ears: "Chen Can, it hurts!"
He covered his head, which was throbbing from the impact, with his left hand, and grabbed the handrail above his head with his right hand, his body still swaying from side to side.
"So what if it hurts? I'm not a doctor!"
Chen Can concealed a hint of heartache and resumed his expressionless demeanor.
Playing the victim won't work; Shen Yanzhen really doesn't know what to do!
Jiang Yu had exhausted all the methods he had been taught, and he was now truly at his wit's end, with no other options left!
Chen Can drove the car very fast, showing no intention of slowing down at all.
Shen Yanzhen felt that the wine he had drunk that night was churning in his stomach and he could vomit it up at any moment!
"Chen Can, slow down!"
He pressed his lips tightly together, trying to suppress the indescribable feeling of nausea that kept rising within him.
The feeling was as if an invisible hand was churning inside his stomach, causing him unbearable pain.
"Chen Can... could you slow down a bit?" he said in an almost pleading tone, his voice trembling slightly due to his physical discomfort.
At that moment, he felt as if he might vomit everything in his stomach at any moment, and if this continued, the car would probably be in trouble.
Upon hearing his request, Chen Can, who was focused on driving, quickly glanced at him.
At that glance, she couldn't help but feel a jolt of surprise.
His face was as pale as a sheet of paper, devoid of any color, and his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat that kept sliding down his cheeks.
Her once bright and spirited eyes had lost their luster and appeared dull and lifeless.
Moreover, his body was slightly curled up, and his hands were tightly covering his stomach, looking like he was in extreme pain.
Chen Can's heart softened, and he gradually slowed down the car, keeping a close eye on Shen Yanzhen's changes.
As the car moved slowly forward, Shen Yanzhen unconsciously loosened her grip on his hand, and the indescribable nausea subsided considerably.
Chen Can still cares about herself; otherwise, why would she slow down?
"Thank you for your concern, Chen Can! I'm much better!"
Shen Yanzhen gazed at Chen Can with a smile on his face, a smile that seemed like the warmest sunshine in spring, trying to penetrate the invisible barrier between the two.
He eagerly anticipated that this kind smile would act as a key, unlocking Chen Can's tightly closed heart and allowing her to understand the gratitude he felt for her and the long-overdue affection he had for her.
However, to Shen Yanzhen's utter surprise, Chen Can didn't even glance at him.
She stared intently ahead, as if something more important than the person in front of her was capturing all her attention.
The words that came out of her mouth were like a bucket of ice water, mercilessly poured onto Shen Yanzhen's burning heart.
"I'm not concerned about you, I'm just worried you'll get my car dirty!"
In the depths of winter, the biting wind howls mercilessly like a ferocious beast.
It lashed wildly at the world outside the car window, as if trying to devour everything.
The rows of thin saplings along the roadside swayed and leaned precariously in the fierce wind, as if they might be uprooted at any moment.
Sitting in the car, Shen Yanzhen watched this scene and couldn't help but feel a sense of sorrow.
He felt that at this moment, he was even more miserable than those poor saplings.
Because of Chen Can's simple words, it was like a powerful storm that easily destroyed him from the very foundation.
He originally thought he could be like those tenacious plants, waiting for the warm spring breeze to blow next year, and then regain his vitality.
But now it seems that this is just a distant and unattainable dream.
He didn't even get a chance to "spring up again" before he was already heartbroken and felt he could die with a smile on his face.
"Chen Can, I'm sorry, I was wrong before! It's understandable that you're angry. Instead of bottling it up by yourself, why don't you take it out on me! I can take a beating!"
"I know I'm hopelessly wrong, but we still have a chance to start over, don't we?"
He spoke with utmost sincerity, each word seemingly flowing from the softest corner of his heart, brimming with genuine emotion.
Chen Can, who was standing to the side, glanced at him quickly during the brief pause in his speech.
But after just that fleeting glance, she immediately lowered her head again, as if she had become a deaf person who was oblivious to all sounds, completely shutting herself off in her own world.
Even after arriving at the Shen family's gate, Chen Can remained silent. Shen Yanzhen stubbornly waited, refusing to get out of the car, and looked at Chen Can with expectant eyes.
"Shen Yanzhen, I am not trash you can throw away at will, nor a ball you can kick around for a moment of fun. I am a person, a person of flesh and blood, and it's enough that my feelings have been betrayed once!"
"What makes you think I'll still be waiting for you after all this has happened? You may be outstanding, but I, Chen Can, am no less so!"
“I’m no longer the Chen Can you used to call on and dismiss at will! If I wanted to, I could just wave my hand and countless people would rush to me.”
“You, Shen Yanzhen, are nothing more than a mistake I made when I was young and confused! Now I am perfectly clear-headed, and I will not make the same mistake a second time.”
"You've learned your lesson, Shen Yanzhen. Do you still think I'm the same Chen Can who would just chase after you and fawn over you?"
"People always grow, and so do you. Why can't I change?"
Chen Can sat quietly, her face expressionless. Her eyes were clear and firm, like a deep pool, making it impossible to discern her true emotions.
She spoke slowly in an almost indifferent tone, her voice as steady as ripples on a lake in spring.
However, it was this unusual calm that completely threw Shen Yanzhen off balance.
He stared wide-eyed at Chen Can, his face filled with disbelief. His heart pounded faster than usual, and beads of sweat began to appear on his forehead.
He nervously rubbed his hands, trying to find a trace of anger or sadness on Chen Can's expressionless face, but all his efforts were in vain.
"Chen Can, I really know I was wrong. Please, please give me another chance."
He almost abandoned all pride and self-respect, pleading in the most humble manner he had ever shown in his life.
Chen Can remained unmoved: "Shen Yanzhen, everyone should move forward. Memories are beautiful, but don't dwell on them too much!"
"I can't leave!" A trace of pain spread across Shen Yanzhen's face. "I don't know when it started, but your image keeps popping into my mind."
"You share your childhood stories with me, photos of your trips, and your favorite desserts. They are constantly in my mind."
"I want to forget, but I can't, I can't do it! I want to see you, even if you ignore me."
"Do you know how happy I was when I found out you were the one who helped me with the hospital incident last time? I think you still like me!"
"Chen Can, I'm scared, I'm really scared that you'll leave me. Please give me another chance."
Chen Can's eyes remained calm and expressionless: "Shen Yanzhen, get out of the car!"
