Chapter 266 1 is always by your side
That night, after get off work, Meng Yanchen sat alone at home drinking to numb himself. He picked up his phone and looked through Xu Qin's circle of friends, feeling a wave of sadness in his heart. Suddenly, a message popped up from Song Yan.
"Yanchen, I heard that you met Xu Qin. Is she okay?" Song Yan is an old friend of Meng Yanchen and a good friend of Xu Qin. She has always been concerned about their relationship.
Meng Yanchen took a deep breath and replied: "She seems to be doing well and seems to have moved on from the past."
Song Yan quickly replied: "What about you? Are you okay?"
"I..." Meng Yanchen's finger paused on the screen. He didn't know how to answer this question. "I don't know. I just know that I miss her very much."
Song Yan's message came again: "Yanchen, some things take time. Maybe you all need some time to find yourself again."
Meng Yanchen was touched when he saw the message. Song Yan was right. He had been living in regret for the past but had never really faced his own heart. He put down his phone and decided to let go of the past and start over.
However, letting go is not easy. A few days later, one night, Meng Yanchen worked overtime at the company until late. When he walked out of the office building, it was already late at night. The street under the street lights seemed particularly quiet. He walked aimlessly, trying to sort out his thoughts.
When he walked into an alley, Meng Yanchen suddenly saw a familiar figure in front of him - it was Song Yan. She was standing alone at the entrance of the alley, with a look of fatigue and sadness on her face.
"Song Yan?" Meng Yanchen walked up and asked with concern, "Why are you here so late?"
Song Yan raised his head and saw that it was Meng Yanchen. He smiled bitterly and said, "Yanchen, I'm fine. I just came out to relax."
Meng Yanchen looked at her expression and felt that she was worried. He patted her shoulder and said softly, "If there is anything that makes you unhappy, you can tell me."
Song Yan was silent for a while, and finally spoke: "Yanchen, my boyfriend and I broke up. In fact, I knew we were not suitable for each other, but I never had the courage to say it."
Meng Yanchen felt distressed. He knew that Song Yan had always been a strong girl, but at this moment her fragility was clearly revealed. He hugged her gently and comforted her: "Song Yan, it's okay, everything will be fine. You still have friends like us, and we will all be with you."
Song Yan felt Meng Yanchen's warmth, and her heart calmed down a little. She stepped out of his arms, wiped the tears from her eyes, and smiled reluctantly: "Thank you, Yanchen. You too, I know you have deep feelings for Xu Qin, but you have to learn to let go."
Meng Yanchen nodded, but he still felt mixed emotions. He knew it was not easy to let go, but he was willing to try to start over for Xu Qin and himself.
In the days that followed, Meng Yanchen began to try to adjust his life. He signed up for some interest classes, rediscovered his hobbies, and gradually walked out of the haze after Xu Qin left. Whenever he felt lonely, Song Yan would always appear by his side, chatting with him and relaxing, and the relationship between the two became closer.
One evening, Meng Yanchen and Song Yan were walking in the park together. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on them, warm and soft. Meng Yanchen suddenly stopped and looked at Song Yan, with a complex emotion in his heart.
"Song Yan, there is something I have always wanted to tell you." Meng Yanchen took a deep breath and said with courage.
Song Yan turned around and looked at him with a smile: "What's the matter? Tell me."
Meng Yanchen looked into her eyes, but hesitated in his heart. He didn't know if his feelings were right, nor did he know if Song Yan would accept it. He was silent for a few seconds, and finally spoke: "Song Yan, actually...actually I..."
Song Yan looked at him quietly, waiting for his next words. Meng Yanchen suddenly felt weak and swallowed the words back.
"Forget it, it's nothing." Meng Yanchen smiled bitterly, but his heart was full of contradictions and struggles. He didn't know if he was really ready, nor did he know if Song Yan would accept his feelings.
Seeing him like this, Song Yan did not ask any more questions, but just smiled gently: "Yanchen, no matter what you want to say, I will be here and wait for you to be ready."
The sun gradually sank to the west, and the scenery in the park became hazy and soft. Meng Yanchen and Song Yan walked side by side, and their mood gradually relaxed. He tried hard to enjoy the peace, but deep in his heart, he could not get rid of his longing for Xu Qin. Suddenly, his cell phone rang, and a familiar name appeared on the screen - Xu Qin.
"Xu Qin?" Meng Yanchen was stunned for a moment, then immediately answered the phone, "Xu Qin, are you okay?"
On the other end of the phone, Xu Qin's voice was a little hurried and nervous: "Yanchen, I...something happened to me, can you come pick me up?"
Meng Yanchen's heart suddenly rose to his throat, and his tone was full of concern: "Where are you? I'll come to you right away."
Xu Qin reported an address, Meng Yanchen immediately said goodbye to Song Yan and hurried to the destination. Song Yan watched his back, his heart ached, but he didn't say anything, just silently wished him all the best.
Meng Yanchen ran all the way and soon found where Xu Qin was. She stood on the corner of the street, looking a little tired and helpless. When she saw Meng Yanchen, a glimmer of light flashed in her eyes, as if she had grabbed the last straw to save her life.
"Xu Qin, what exactly happened?" Meng Yanchen asked anxiously.
Xu Qin hesitated for a moment, and finally whispered: "I...my wallet and cell phone were stolen. I have no money and I don't know what to do."
After hearing this, Meng Yanchen felt distressed and quickly grabbed her hand: "Don't worry, I'll take you home."
Xu Qin nodded and followed him to the parking lot. After getting in the car, Meng Yanchen started the engine and the car drove quickly to his apartment. On the way, Xu Qin leaned back in the seat, with a trace of fatigue and helplessness in his eyes.
"Thank you, Yanchen," she said softly, with a hint of gratitude in her voice.
"Don't say that, Xu Qin. You will always be my friend, and I will always be by your side." Meng Yanchen turned his head and looked at her, his eyes full of concern.
The car soon arrived at Meng Yanchen's apartment. He hurriedly took Xu Qin upstairs, not noticing that the lights in front of the apartment door were a little dim and the carpet was a little messy. He opened the door and let Xu Qin in first, while he quickly tidied the room.
Xu Qin sat on the sofa and looked around. Although the environment was simple, she felt a long-lost warmth. Meng Yanchen quickly poured her a glass of warm water and sat opposite her, his eyes full of worry.
