only soft on you

Chapter 153 Gifts
After Zhou Tang hung up Liu Min's phone call, he relaxed in the garden and basked in the sun for a while.

Not long after, two decoration designers came.

After the nanny Liu Li brought them to Zhou Tang, and even after listening to their self-introductions, Zhou Tang found out that Chen Yan hadn't forgotten the last time she asked him to renovate the villa, and really planned to let her renovate the villa's decoration style. Even the designer took the initiative to find her.

She also thought that Chen Yan would at most just agree to her changing the appearance of the villa, at most she would just turn a blind eye and let her do it, but she didn't expect that if Chen Yan really wanted to win the game, When she got better, it was really considerate, just like the renovation of the garden, and the renovation of the house, as if she didn't need to worry about anything at all.

"Miss Zhou, may I ask which parts of the villa you want to renovate? Tell us, and tell us your favorite decoration style. We will immediately design a decoration plan for you in the next two days." Two people The designer first looked around in Chen Yan's villa, and finally returned to Zhou Tang to ask enthusiastically.

Zhou Tang was silent for a while, and then smiled, "Actually, it doesn't have to be so troublesome, I don't have any style that I like too much, and it is not realistic to change the hard decoration of the house at this moment, just change or modify the soft decoration a little bit. gone."

Zhou Tang didn't intend to make a real earth-shaking change, and she didn't have the time to wait.

She just told the designer a few key changes or decorations, and finally finalized the plan, covering the pure black background wall with a whole piece of marble, pasting the black background wall of the dining room with simple and elegant wall coverings. The black and depressing lines throughout the house are decorated with European-style plaster lines or wooden boards, and the black cabinets and wall cabinets are replaced with white...

In fact, Chen Yan's house really didn't need much modification, only the details needed to be modified, and Zhou Tang didn't ask too much, he just wanted to make the house a little warmer, less oppressive, and less dark.

The designers understood what Zhou Tang meant, and they left politely only after they finished talking about the plans.

Zhou Tang continued to sit for a while with nothing to do, and then received a call from Chu Shangshang.

The two of them were chatting, and Zhou Tang was in a good mood, so he invited Chu merchants to come over for a gathering.

Chu Shangshang asked with some vigilance: "When I went to your place last time, Chen Yan didn't say anything?"

In her eyes, Chen Yan is cold and hypocritical, and she probably doesn't like others to set foot in his territory. If Zhou Tang is scolded by Chen Yan because of her visit, then she doesn't plan to go to Zhou Tang. Get in trouble.

"I didn't say anything, Chen Yan hasn't been that harsh to me recently." Zhou Tang replied naturally.

It also seems that apart from Chen Yan's relationship with her and her lack of seriousness and sincerity towards him, Chen Yan seems to be tolerant of her in other respects.

Even though his bad mouth problem can't be changed, she has also found a way to deal with it, for example, compromise a bit, show a little softness, and it's best to kiss or touch body thoroughly, Chen Yan seems to be able to swallow it All his barbed vocabulary.

"Then I'll come right over." Hearing Zhou Tang's words, Chu Shangshang felt relieved and didn't think about it any more.

She was also worried about how to spend the last three days of vacation. After answering Zhou Tang's words, she drove to the Luxi Mansion in a hurry. On the way, she went to buy Zhou Tang's favorite one. Small cakes and milk tea.

The two sat in the garden and chatted for a while, before Zhou Tang said in a low voice: "Shangshang, my mother saw my father cry today. My father should be conscious now, but he still can't open his eyes for some reason, but I I know my dad will wake up soon."

Chu Shangshang was caught off guard by the shock, and then she stood up from the chair and spun twice in surprise. She excitedly said to Zhou Tang: "Great, great! It seems that Dr. Robert is really powerful, and uncle is also very strong." I have never given up on myself! This is great, you and Auntie have waited for so long, persisted for so long, and finally your wish is about to come true, Tangtang!"

Zhou Tang stared at her excited smiling face, a little touched, and his voice increased a little bit of hope and hope, "Yes, it will be fine when my father wakes up. As long as he and my mother are in good health and go to Yuncheng to retire , I will have no worries at all, and I can completely let go."

Chu Shangshang was happy for Zhou Tang from the bottom of his heart, but he couldn't hear Zhou Tang's last words clearly under his excitement.

Zhou Tang's expression moved slightly, and he was about to speak when the mobile phone on the small table in front of him suddenly rang.

She was stunned for a moment, subconsciously choked and turned to the phone, only to see that it was Chen Yan who called her, which was rare.

Chu Shangshang also saw the name of the caller on Zhou Tang's mobile phone, and was a little nervous for no reason, so he silenced for a while.

Zhou Tang also suppressed his mind at this time, picked up the phone, slid down the answer button, and then calmly and softly called to Chen Yan, "Chen Yan?"

"Has the designer been here?" Chen Yan's cold voice that has remained unchanged for thousands of years came from the receiver.

Zhou Tang smiled, "I've been here. Did you find them specially?"

"Yang Fan arranged it."

Was it arranged by Yang Fan again?
Zhou Tang's eyes added a little bit of teasing. It seemed that every time Chen Yan wanted to do something to please her, he said it was arranged by Yang Fan. How can you do these things.

Zhou Tang didn't expose anything, just said: "Then I still have to thank you Chen Yan, thank you for allowing me to renovate the villa according to my wishes, thank you for allowing me to create a space that belongs to the two of us temporarily. I just communicated with the designer, and I should be able to see the effect of the transformation in a few days."

"Yeah." Chen Yan didn't respond with much emotion, he didn't seem interested in this, but now he seemed to hang up the phone without any intention, as if he was waiting for something.

Zhou Tang was silent for a moment, then changed the subject softly, "What about you? Have you finished watching Su Yi yet?"

"Well. People are awake, but the state is not good, but it's fine if they can't die."

Zhou Tang felt indifference again from Chen Yan's words, and it seemed that even though Chen Yan's mood fluctuated because of Su Yi's suicide last night, Su Yi did not seem to have much weight in Chen Yan's heart. Not to mention that Su Yi in this state can make Chen Yan change his mind about her.

Zhou Tang didn't intend to ask any more questions, so he didn't mention Su Yi's matter anymore, and just asked: "Then have you returned to the company yet?"

"Ah."

"have you eaten?"

"not yet."

"Then go out and eat something with Yang Fan, try to eat something light, and remember to change your medicine for the injuries on your back and hands, take good care of yourself, take care of yourself, and I will wait for you at home." Zhou Tang instructed in a gentle voice. .

But after these words fell, Chen Yan fell silent.

Zhou Tang was not in a hurry and just waited silently.

After a long while, Chen Yan said in a low voice, "Zhou Tang, don't tell me to deal with children. I won't do it."

"Okay, then I won't say those words." Zhou Tang was not angry, he seemed to accept his words very meekly and obediently, and then changed into a mature speech, slowing down his voice and becoming more gentle Said: "I love you Chen Yan. Are you free to come back to have dinner with me in the evening? I suddenly miss you a little right now."

After saying this, Chen Yan was silent again.

Zhou Tang curled his lips and smiled ironically, continuing to wait silently.

In fact, she really wanted to know what Chen Yan meant when she called her. Did he want to show that he had finished watching Su Yi and didn't have any feelings for Su Yi, and wanted her to rest assured, or was it just pure He wanted to contact her, wanted to gain a sense of presence from her, or, he just wanted to hear her voice.

It's just that she's really not that narcissistic, so he suspects that Chen Yan's call at this moment is to gain a sense of presence, to show her goodwill and care for her deliberately in order to win this game.

"I don't have a meeting tonight, so I can come back early." Chen Yan was silent for a while before making a low voice.

Zhou Tang returned to his senses in response, and said softly: "I see, then I will wait for you to come back for dinner at home, I love you, Chen Yan."

After saying this, Chen Yan didn't return, only remained silent for a moment, and then hung up the phone on his own initiative.

Zhou Tang put down his phone without emotion, and looked up to see Chu Shangshang's expression as if he had seen a ghost.

Chu Shangshang's eyes widened, and he couldn't help asking: "Tangtang, what's the situation between you and Chen Yan now. Chen Yan even asked you to change this villa? It's what you said to Chen Yan... "

Chu Shangshang was so shocked that his head was in a daze at the moment, and he couldn't speak at this point.

She really didn't see how Zhou Tang and Chen Yan got along with her own eyes recently, and she just heard from Zhou Tang's recent words that Zhou Tang wanted to play emotional games with Chen Yan, but she really didn't expect Zhou Tang Tang and Chen Yan could play a game so fiercely, words like thinking about you and loving you burst out one after another.

But during the whole process of Zhou Tang answering the phone, she didn't see the half love-like sweetness that Zhou Tang showed when he said these words. On the contrary, her expression was extremely calm, except for the occasional ironic arc on her lips. Other than that, she was completely indifferent.

What's even more strange is that Chen Yan seemed to agree with Zhou Tang's proposal to let him have dinner with her at night. She really couldn't imagine what kind of mood a prickly person like Chen Yan was just now. He promised Zhou Tang in a calm tone.

"You know, it's just playing games. When dealing with people like Chen Yan, you have to be ruthless when playing games. Otherwise, playing around like noodles in clear water, Chen Yan can't get the hook." Waiting for Chu Shangshang When his thoughts were racing, Zhou Tang made a low voice.

Chu Shangshang frowned slightly, feeling a little complicated and weird in his heart.

Suddenly, she suddenly thought that what Chen Yan bought for Zhou Tang recently were all the new seasonal products of major luxury brands. When Fengshan disappeared, Chen Yan came to look for her in a hurry, and hurriedly carried her up the mountain for treatment, as if she was really afraid that Zhou Tang would disappear or lose her life. He agreed with Zhou Tang to change the villa, and even his garden is very different from the last time she came here, so...

Chu Shangshang's thoughts were churning violently.

Even though she was extremely disliked by Chen Yan, there was still an inexplicable doubt forming in her heart.

Chu Shangshang was silent for a long time, then looked at Zhou Tang with complicated eyes, hesitated a few times, and finally couldn't help but said to Zhou Tang: "Tang Tang, I think Chen Yan seems a bit strange recently, although he is imprisoned on the surface Your freedom doesn't even sound good to you, but have you ever thought that Chen Yan's recent abnormal behavior towards you may be because... because Chen Yan already likes you a little bit."

The corners of Zhou Tang's eyes twitched, his complexion fluctuated slightly, and he didn't reply immediately.

Does Chen Yan like her a little bit?
In fact, she was more or less certain of this answer deep in her heart. After all, Chen Yan was indeed generous and tolerant to her recently.

It's just that these are not enough after all, and after all, Chen Yan's treatment of her is really not to the point of dying.

"I don't know. Who can guess what Chen Yan is thinking." Zhou Tang was silent for a while, and did not reply to Chu Shangshang directly.

Chu Shangzai looked at Zhou Tang's ups and downs face carefully, and couldn't help persuading him earnestly, "Tangtang, what I just said is just my guess. It's just that no matter what Chen Yan treats you In this way, even if you are really tempted, you have to stick to the bottom line. Chen Yan is very emotional, ruthless and has no conscience. You can play games when you play games, but don’t really treat Chen Yan. Repeated mistakes."

Zhou Tang's expression moved slightly, and he nodded calmly.

There's nothing to say about repeating the same mistakes, after all, up to now, she's just watching Chen Yan fall in love with her bit by bit, watching Chen Yan lose control because of her again and again.

Therefore, even if it is really sinking, it should be someone like Chen Yan, even if it is doomed, it should be Chen Yan.

Zhou Tang didn't say any more about it, but changed the subject naturally, and started chatting with Chu Shangshang in a more relaxed manner.

After having lunch with Chu Shangshang and sending Chu Shangshang away, Zhou Tang thought for a while, then asked Liu Li to go out and buy brushes, drawing paper, and photo frames, and then sat in the garden and started painting.

She majored in photography in college, but she also has a little research on aesthetics, and her painting level is naturally not low.

When she was in high school, she also drew many portraits of Chen Yan, but since the first portrait she gave to Chen Yan was randomly thrown in the trash can by Chen Yan, she never sent Chen Yan's portrait to Chen Yan again. I have gone out, but just kept it on the desk in the bedroom and treasured it.

It wasn't until she failed the college entrance examination that she confessed her love, and she burned all of Chen Yan's portraits in anger and despair. From then on, she thought that she would never draw Chen Yan again in her life. Stopping the brush, she actually started to paint Chen Yan's appearance again.

She really didn't plan to draw anything else at the moment, but to draw the photo she took with Chen Yan in the garden that day.

In the photo, Chen Yan is still unsmiling, dignified and cold, but she smiles seriously and brightly, as if at that moment, she seemed to be watered by something, extremely sweet.

She drew the outline of Chen Yan's cheek bit by bit, and sketched his slightly sharp eyes bit by bit. After finishing drawing Chen Yan thoroughly, she drew her smiling self beside Chen Yan, Then, there are dazzling flowers of various colors around, and the clean and clear blue sky and white clouds above the head.

When she finished drawing everything, she admired it and smiled with satisfaction.

But at this moment, a hand suddenly reached out from her side and took away the drawing paper in front of her naturally. When she subconsciously looked up, she saw that Chen Yan had already stood beside her, I don't know how long I watched in silence here.

Zhou Tang smiled shyly, "I drew you when I was in high school. After so many years, I haven't drawn many people anymore, and my technique is a little rusty. Is the you in this painting not the same as when I was in high school?" well drawn?"

With her voice down, she quietly watched Chen Yan's reaction.

She saw Chen Yan's eyes set on the drawing paper seriously, and she didn't know whether she was looking at him or her on the drawing.

Even, his face at the moment really doesn't look like any expression of surprise or admiration, his face is complex and undulating, as if filled with too many inexplicable contradictions and complexities, making People can't figure it out.

"Did you draw well?" Zhou Tang waited for a long time before Chen Yan answered, and couldn't help asking softly again.

It wasn't until these words came to an end that Chen Yan seemed to come back to his senses, returned the drawing paper to her, and said in a low voice: "It's okay."

He seemed to be making a casual comment.

"Then can I put it on the bedside table in the bedroom?"

"It's up to you." Chen Yan was silent for a while before saying.

Zhou Tang smiled, and said with some relief and relief: "Chen Yan, you really let me put it in the bedroom? You are so kind to me now. Can I remember the only time when I gave you a portrait in high school, you said What is it? Well, what you seem to be saying is: Zhou Tang, don’t draw me these useful and useless things, do you think the things you draw are meaningful?”

As he spoke, as if recalling something, he said with a sense of loss and melancholy: "You don't even know how long it took me to paint your first portrait. I painted it for a whole weekend. I I want to describe all my love for you in the lines, but I didn't expect you to accept a painting from Ban Banhua next door and throw my painting into the trash can."

Chen Yan's voice became a little more complicated, and it seemed to be tense, "You were watching from such a distance, did you know that what she gave was a painting? Do you know the reason why I accepted what she handed over? "

"Because you're bothered by me, you don't even like my paintings, and even if the class flower in the next class doesn't send you paintings, you must think that what she sends must be more pleasing to the eye than mine."

Chen Yan stared at her for a moment, then sneered, "Because her younger brother is a student I tutor part-time, the paper she handed me was the homework paper her younger brother asked her to bring to me by the way, and I want to take it back for correction."

Zhou Tang was caught off guard for a moment.

Chen Yan's voice became colder and thinner, "Zhou Tang, I said a long time ago that you never believed me, you only believed what you saw. Just like when you saw me throw your paintings into the trash It's a bucket, right? Then do you know that after the Chen family left, I went to the trash can to find your painting? Even if you weren't so anxious or angry when you left, even if you left If you turn around and take a look, you will know what my answer is, but it is a pity that you have gone farther and farther in the active comfort of the study committee member Yang Jing. How could you see that I turned the painting... And, I really feel It was ugly painted and torn off by hand."

Zhou Tang's eyes suddenly trembled a little, and she looked up at him suddenly, but she saw the complexity and ridicule in Chen Yan's eyes.

She even felt that Chen Yan's words were contradictory. On the one hand, he rejected her painting, on the other hand, he searched through the trash can to find the painting, and on the other hand, he said that as long as she turned around and looked at it, she would know his answer. Completely ripped off.

So what is Chen Yan expressing?

Was he blaming her for not looking back to see how he had achieved the ultimate in hating her?Blame her for not looking back to see how he dug out her painting and tore it up in front of her as if humiliating her bit by bit?Blame her for running away in a hurry in embarrassment and disappointment, blame her for being able to chat with the study committee member who just happened to be calm when she was a little emotionally broken?

"Chen Yan, what are you trying to say? What exactly did you..." Zhou Tang was silent for a long time before lowering his voice and asking.

But before he could say anything, he suppressed the complex look on Chen Yan's face, and even interrupted her words calmly, "I didn't want to say anything. I just thought, don't mention it to me. You don't have that qualification, because your so-called liking and love are really too simple, and you even knew what my situation was, but you chose to give up without hesitation."

With his voice down, he turned around and went straight to the living room.

Zhou Tang sat quietly on the spot for a long time, not quite understanding why Chen Yan suddenly became angry.

It's just that Chen Yan has always been uncertain in her eyes, prone to inexplicable rage and anger, so now let's think about what Chen Yan is angry about, what exactly is he complaining about, and even entangled in who was right and who was wrong before. Doesn't really seem to make sense.

After all, no matter whether Chen Yan believes it or not, she herself is fully aware that her love for Chen Yan in the three years of high school is solid and dense, without any falsehood or moisture.

She could jump off a building and end her life for Chen Yan, so of course she knew about Chen Yan's impoverished and helpless living situation after the college entrance examination. In such a situation, she did not choose to continue helping him, getting close to him, or pestering him. She finally chose to give up, even though she was completely helpless and heartbroken because of giving up Chen Yan.

Zhou Tang thought for a long time before gradually regaining his senses.

She finally restrained all her emotions forcibly, and began to write a few hypocritical words on the drawing paper: Zhou Tang will always love Chen Yan.

Then, she put the painting into the big photo frame that Liu Li bought together.

She finally returned to her normal game state, and even though she had just had a disagreement with Chen Yan just now, she was able to write down these soft words so calmly, full of ferocious words.

After a while, Master Liao finished the dinner, and Liu Li made a special trip to push Zhou Tang into the restaurant.

Chen Yan was no longer in the living room.

Zhou Tang sat down on the dining chair, took out his mobile phone and called Chen Yan.

After going through it again and again, Chen Yan didn't answer.

Zhou Tang continued to play the second and third times.

Until every call was automatically hung up by the system, and until Zhou Tang was a little tired from calling and was about to let Chen Yan deal with it first, unexpectedly, Chen Yan came downstairs on his own initiative.

He had already changed out of his suit and put on his home pajamas, and the eyes he glanced at her were not as sharp and complicated as before, but returned to the coldness and silence of the past.

Zhou Tang put away the phone subconsciously, and just looked at him quietly.

It wasn't until he sat down beside her that she handed him the photo frame with the painting in her hand. Seeing that Chen Yan refused to accept her, she said seriously and sincerely: "Chen Yan, what did I do wrong before? I hope you forgive me. From now on, I will always be by your side, and I will like and love you well. Chen Yan, forgive me for everything in the past, and we will be together well in the future, okay?"

Chen Yan's eyes fell on the photo frame that Zhou Tang handed over, and he also took advantage of the opportunity to see the words written by Zhou Tang.

His pupils seemed to shrink a few times unexpectedly, filled with unknown emotions, and his face also had slight and seemingly irrepressible ups and downs.

It wasn't until a long while before he took Zhou Tang's photo frame, turned his head and stared at her clean and serious eyes for a long time, then, the fierce aura of his whole body seemed to be restrained a little, and those deep eyes , also stained with a trace of rare peace and freedom.

He still didn't reply to Zhou Tang's words, but his face and expression really softened visible to the naked eye.

Then, under Zhou Tang's gradually relieved and smiling eyes, he got up slowly and walked to the living room, took a lockbox from the coffee table in the living room and threw it in front of Zhou Tang's desk. valuables.

Zhou Tang subconsciously glanced at the pink and advanced lockbox in front of him, and asked with a smile, "My gift?"

Chen Yan nodded without much emotion, "The password is my birthday."

Zhou Tang froze for a moment, sometimes she really felt that Chen Yan was a hypocritical person, so it was fine to give her a gift, and the password had to be set to his birthday.

Only this time, she didn't forget the number of his birthday, and it was at this moment that she suddenly realized that Chen Yan's birthday was September 25, so, two days later, it would be Chen Yan's birthday.

Zhou Tang was silent for a moment before she came back to her senses. She stretched out her hand and input Chen Yan's birthday number slowly and accurately. The moment she opened the box, she saw the big rose-shaped pink diamond in the box.

The pink diamond has a unique and magical shape, exquisite and transparent. When she looked over it with a somewhat stiff gaze, she also cleared the description in the collection certificate beside the pink diamond: the only natural rose in the world. The flower-shaped pink diamonds are exquisite and peculiar in shape, and they are the most pink diamonds in the world in terms of color and texture.

At this moment, even though Zhou Tang had already made some mental preparations, he was still shocked by this rose pink diamond.
