Chapter 251 Need time to digest
On a quiet night, Meng Yanchen and Xu Qin sat on the sofa, playing games and enjoying the tranquility and warmth. Xu Qin said softly: "Yanchen, our future will definitely be full of happiness and beauty."
"Yes, Xu Qin. As long as we are together, everything will become better." Meng Yanchen answered gently, his heart full of hope and longing for the future.
"Xu Qin, I have always admired your independence and talent, but sometimes I am too busy and ignore your feelings." Meng Yanchen said sincerely.
"Yanchen, I know you work very hard, but I hope you can spend more time with me, even if it's just a simple chat." Xu Qin responded with tears in her eyes.
After several communications, the relationship between Meng Yanchen and Xu Qin gradually improved. Although they did not reconcile immediately, both felt that the re-established understanding and trust were the most important.
During this time, Meng Yanchen also made significant progress in his studies. His thesis was highly praised by the professor, which made him more confident to continue his studies. At the same time, he and Xu Qin also kept in touch. Although they were no longer lovers, they regained their precious friendship.
After several communications with the psychology professor, the relationship between Meng Yanchen and Xu Qin eased, and they reestablished trust and understanding between each other. One weekend night, Xu Qin took the initiative to send a message to Meng Yanchen.
"Yanchen, do you have time? Let's go to a roadside stall and relax." Xu Qin suggested.
When Meng Yanchen saw the message, he felt a little warm in his heart and replied, "Okay, I know a very good snack stand. See you at 7 o'clock in the evening."
In the evening, Meng Yanchen changed into a casual jacket and walked out of the campus with ease, looking forward to it. They met at a busy street corner, where there was an old roadside stall selling a variety of snacks, which was very popular among students and white-collar workers.
Xu Qin had been waiting there for a long time. When she saw Meng Yanchen coming over, she smiled and waved. She was wearing simple jeans and a T-shirt, but she still looked so bright and energetic.
"You were here first." Meng Yanchen greeted with a smile.
"Of course, after all, I don't want to miss these delicious snacks." Xu Qin said jokingly.
They found a place to sit down. There was a bustling crowd around them and the owner of the snack stand greeted them warmly.
"What would you like to eat? Grilled skewers, pancakes or crayfish?" Meng Yanchen asked, flipping through the menu.
"Well, let's have some grilled skewers and crayfish first. I miss these flavors." Xu Qin responded excitedly.
After a while, the steaming skewers and spicy crayfish were served on the table, and the two began to enjoy this long-lost delicacy. Meng Yanchen bit off a skewer of barbecue, feeling the rich aroma and satisfaction, while Xu Qin was concentrating on peeling the crayfish, with a happy smile on his face.
"You know, Xu Qin, I haven't been so relaxed in a long time." Meng Yanchen said with emotion.
"Me too. When I'm busy with work, it's really hard to have such an opportunity." Xu Qin nodded.
They ate and chatted about their recent lives and work. Meng Yanchen mentioned his academic progress, and Xu Qin shared some of her recent photography projects. The atmosphere between the two became more and more relaxed, as if they had returned to the good old days.
"By the way, Yanchen, do you still remember the filming project when we first met?" Xu Qin suddenly asked.
"Of course I remember it. It was a very successful project and our cooperation was very tacit." Meng Yanchen recalled with a smile.
"Yes, we were really happy at that time and created so many beautiful memories together." A trace of nostalgia flashed in Xu Qin's eyes.
"After that shoot, we went to many places, traveled together, and had adventures together. Although some things have passed, those memories will always be there," Meng Yanchen sighed.
"Yes, I have always cherished those memories." Xu Qin's voice was soft and warm.
As time passed, they gradually felt a long-lost sense of intimacy, and the barriers in their hearts seemed to slowly dissipate in these relaxed conversations and delicious snacks.
"Yanchen, I think we should give each other more time and space so that we can understand each other better." Xu Qin suddenly said.
"I agree, Xu Qin. Maybe we really need to get to know each other again and find a new balance." Meng Yanchen nodded in agreement.
As the night deepened, the roadside food stalls were still bustling. Meng Yanchen and Xu Qin sat together, feeling the peace and warmth. Although they didn't know what the future would be like, at this moment, they were both enjoying the long-lost relaxation and beauty.
On that brightly lit night, the two walked slowly on the way back to school, and Xu Qin said softly: "Thank you, Yanchen, I am really happy today."
"Me too, Xu Qin. I hope we can always be honest with each other. No matter what happens in the future, at least we once had this sincere friendship." Meng Yanchen responded with a smile.
A few days later, Meng Yanchen met his old friend Song Yan on campus. Song Yan was Meng Yanchen's roommate in college and is now a senior manager at a financial company. Although they are busy with work, they have always kept in touch. That evening, Song Yan suddenly called Meng Yanchen and invited him to go drinking together.
"Yanchen, how have you been recently? Do you want to come out for a drink? We haven't seen each other for a long time." There was a hint of excitement in Song Yan's voice.
"Okay, I just happen to have something I want to talk to you about recently. Let's meet at the old place?" Meng Yanchen agreed readily.
The city lights were bright at night, and Meng Yanchen and Song Yan met in a small bar they often went to. The dim lights and soft music in the bar made people feel very relaxed. The two sat at the bar, ordered a few beers, and started chatting.
"How have you been recently? I heard that you went back to school." Song Yan patted Meng Yanchen on the shoulder and said with a smile.
"Yes, I feel like I need to re-enrich myself and change my environment, maybe I will gain something new." Meng Yanchen raised his glass, clinked it with Song Yan, took a sip, and felt the warmth of the wine sliding down his throat.
"Yes, I always thought you were a person with aspirations. But, to be honest, I was a little surprised when I heard about you and Xu Qin." Song Yan frowned, his tone full of concern.
"Yes, we broke up, but our relationship is still good now. It's just that many things really need time to digest." Meng Yanchen sighed, and his heart was still a little heavy when he recalled those unpleasant moments.
