only soft on you

Chapter 270 Returning to China
Zhou Tang didn't expect that it was so late, and she still met Chen Yan back as usual. She really didn't know whether it was a coincidence or something else.

Zhou Tang was silent for a moment, and then walked quickly towards the iron gate of his villa when Chen Yan opened the door and was about to get off the car.

But just after opening the iron gate, before he could go in, Chen Yan's deep and distant voice came from behind, "I will also go to the Canadian Photography Awards Ceremony tonight."

Zhou Tang subconsciously stopped and looked back at him.

Chen Yan had already got off the car at this moment, and was slowly walking towards her.

He was holding a white gift bag in his hand, without any LOGO or patterns on it, and his face was still inexplicably pale, but the eyes that fell towards her were full of deep and inexplicable complexity.

Zhou Tang didn't expect that after so many days, he suddenly greeted her again. After all, the two of them had been strangers all this time, even if they met at home, they would act as if they hadn't seen each other.

She tossed her mind for a few seconds, but before she could figure out what Chen Yan's intentions were, he had already walked over and stood in front of her, glanced at the black evening dress she was wearing, and then stretched out his hand He handed the gift bag in his pocket to Zhou Tang.

The corner of Zhou Tang's eyes twitched, and he went straight to meet his eyes, but didn't answer.

Chen Yan suppressed his voice and said: "Congratulations, you have won the award for the best outstanding photographer. This is a gift I chose for you. I hope you will accept it."

Zhou Tang said slowly: "Thank you, but the gift is unnecessary."

"You helped me some time ago. I haven't really thanked you yet. This gift is not expensive. It's just my heart. I hope you can accept it." He said in a calm and sincere tone.

Zhou Tang continued: "It's really unnecessary. The last time I helped you was just a matter of lifting a finger. I really don't need a gift. Thank you."

When her voice fell, Zhou Tang didn't intend to say more, and was about to step into the door, but Chen Yan didn't stop her, and just said to her: "Don't you want to see what the gift is?"

Zhou Tang continued to say politely in a slow voice: "No matter what it is, I have no reason to accept it, Chen Yan, thank you for your kindness."

After finishing speaking, he lifted his foot forward, and after stepping into the iron gate of the garden, he closed the gate naturally.

During the whole process, Chen Yan didn't speak any more, and even though he was rejected, he didn't have an attack as usual.

His eyes were quietly locked on Zhou Tang's iron gate, but a few traces of self-mockery appeared on his pale face.

He couldn't help thinking that in fact, he had known Zhou Tang for so long, and only in high school, when Zhou Tang received his gift, was the most enthusiastic and happiest time.

Even though his gift-giving attitude was flat and quiet at that time, and even though the gifts he gave were cheap and casual at that time, Zhou Tang at that time was really happy and satisfied, bright and dazzling.

But Zhou Tang like that seemed to really only stay in high school, so that the Zhou Tang he met later, no matter whether he gave priceless luxury goods or other things, she lost the original smiling face and comfort.

She really put him down, so she didn't care or expect anything from what he sent.

At this point in his thoughts, Chen Yan's eyes suddenly sank, and he clenched the rope of the gift bag tightly in his hands. For a while, his mind was full of chaos.

He stood outside Zhou Tang's door for a long time before slowly turning around and going to his villa. After casually throwing the gift bag on the sofa, he called Jiang Feng.

Jiang Feng seemed to be expecting something, and when he got on the phone, he asked, "How's it going, did Zhou Tang accept your gift?"

Chen Yan irritably and gloomyly reached out and pulled the tie around his neck, "Confiscated."

Jiang Feng subconsciously held back his words.

Chen Yan continued: "The gift-giving method you told me is useless to her, and she doesn't care what I will give her at all."

Even if he prepared the world's largest pink diamond for her tonight and an invitation letter to meet the world-class photographer she admires most now, she didn't even intend to take a look at it.

Jiang Feng sighed. Although he really wanted to ease the relationship between Chen Yan and Zhou Tang, he understood that Zhou Tang confiscated Chen Yan's gift tonight.

He was silent for a while before he said: "It's okay, just take your time, but Zhou Tang is a soft-hearted person, one day, you will be able to impress her again."

is it?

Chen Yan lost all confidence in Jiang Feng's words.

In the past, he could still threaten Zhou Tang to be with him with his anger and determination, but now he dare not do that.

Two years ago, he had fully tasted the pain of what is called extremes and what is meant by turning back, and realized what is meant by heartbreaking abandonment and parting.

He didn't want Zhou Tang to escape from him at the cost of his life like two years ago, and he didn't want Zhou Tang to hide from him for two years like before.

He could no longer afford the torment of parting and loss.

Even if he can't make her change her mind now, at least he can see her quietly every day, which is much stronger than the separation two years ago.

After hanging up Jiang Feng's phone call, Chen Yan turned off the lights and went upstairs. When he entered the master bedroom on the second floor, he didn't turn on the lights, nor did he go to bed. Instead, he sat outside the master bedroom as usual every night. On the balcony, he lit a cigarette with one hand and smoked heavily.

His gaze followed the balcony to the master bedroom of the villa next door. The bedroom was currently lit, and the bright yellow light and shadow revealed an unparalleled warmth.

After half an hour, the lights in Zhou Tang's master bedroom were completely extinguished, and everything around him fell into silence.

Chen Yan's gaze sank, his pale face was distant and noisy, and all his mind was completely frozen and indifferent following the extinguished light.

It wasn't until the fireworks on his fingers burned his fingers that he suddenly came back to his senses. For a moment, he felt that there was no hope in such a day and night, and he was waiting for a fruitless thought in the distant future. , contradictory.

Chen Yan's heart became depressed little by little, there seemed to be no light in the gloom.

And this hopeless sense of oppression seemed to be gripping his throat completely, making him feel more uncomfortable and exhausted, as if his whole body was going to explode in the oppression.

He sat in the same place for a long time, inexplicably replaying Zhou Tang's indifferent expression when he rejected him tonight in his head, and then, when he was sitting numb all over, he took out his mobile phone and called Yang Fan.

Yang Fan picked it up urgently, as if waking up from a deep sleep, his voice was somewhat startled and hoarse, "Mr. Chen."

Chen Yan said in a low voice: "Tomorrow, make an appointment with a psychiatrist for me."

Yang Fan was surprised for a long time, and then he responded with forceful suppression of his emotions as if to cover up.

Chen Yan just hung up the phone and went back to the master bedroom to rest, but she was still tossing and turning on the bed, as usual, unable to sleep all night.

For the next period of time, Zhou Tang never met Chen Yan again.

She is still very busy, busy shooting, busy socializing, busy taking orders.

Without Xu Qingran's company and encouragement, she seems to have become more sophisticated and mature when fighting alone. Whether it is the improvement of photography skills or getting along with people, she has become more and more handy.

She no longer had the childishness and nervousness of the past, she was able to chat and laugh casually with all kinds of celebrities and bigwigs, and she was also able to ask for drinks in various drinking parties.

Even though she would vomit up and down every time after the drinking party, she was content in her heart after all.

Satisfied that she can finally rely on her own hands to create a piece of her own sky.

After January, Zhou Tang suddenly received an invitation from Jiang Xiao to attend her birthday party.

This time, Zhou Tang did not refuse.

She has been working continuously for more than two months, and she is a little tired. She really wants to relax at the moment. Besides, she also wants to go back to China to urge her parents. It has been more than two months. Get rid of all the company's affairs, and don't plan to come to Canada to reunite with her.

Zhou Tang asked the assistant to push back the later photography orders, and handed over the more urgent orders to the apprentices in the team who she personally taught to complete.

After the team's affairs were all arranged, Zhou Tang got on the flight back to China.

This time, the plane landed directly in Beicheng, and Jiang Xiao personally drove to Beicheng Airport to pick her up.

I haven't seen her for a few months, but the scars on Jiang Xiao's face have healed a lot. Under the heavy makeup, if you don't look carefully, you can't see the scars on her face.

Jiang Xiao smiled and said to her while driving: "Tangtang, I haven't congratulated you face to face, you can be said to be a celebrity in the international photography circle recently."

Zhou Tang leaned loosely on the back of the car seat and smiled, "But you congratulated me on the phone, and I'm not a celebrity in the international photography industry, but I'm just a hard-working worker."

As he said that, he looked at Jiang Xiaoluo, and changed the subject naturally, "Didn't you live well in the capital all the time? Why do you want to come to Beicheng for your birthday?"
