Love Affairs in Melbourne-Chapter 129 - 126 Similar or Complementary

Qi Yi arrived in New York when Yan Yan was supposed to be still on the plane.

Qi Yi sent Yan Yan a message to check in, and Yan Yan quickly called him back.

"Was your flight canceled? Why aren’t you on the plane?" Qi Yi had not expected to receive a call from Yan Yan at this time. freeωebnovēl.c૦m

"No, I’m in Shenzhen right now; I’ll take a flight back to Melbourne tonight." Yan Yan honestly confessed.

"Did your parents go to Shenzhen for something?" Qi Yi asked, puzzled.

"No, my parents have already returned to Wenzhou. My character is not that good; I went to Shenzhen to secretly meet another man." Enlightened with the principle that honesty could bring leniency, Yan Yan understood it well.

"Shenzhen? Your adopted younger brother? Didn’t you just see him when you came back last time?" Qi Yi’s questions were numerous, but his tone didn’t carry much underlying meaning.

Yan Yan was relieved that she did not have to explain herself after things were exposed, otherwise, she would surely have to comfort her boyfriend for quite a while.

"Why aren’t you jealous anymore? My vanity isn’t satisfied at all." Yan Yan decided to take the initiative to avoid Qi Yi from bringing this up later.

"You’re already there, what’s the use of my being jealous?" Qi Yi asked somewhat amused.

"It’s useful; at least I would feel more of a presence." When Yan Yan felt guilty, she always spoke in an especially adorable manner.

"How did you suddenly end up in Shenzhen? Come back immediately, and remember to stop by New York to comfort my bleeding heart," Qi Yi began to "get jealous."

"Ah? Stop by New York? Please tell me, how should I stop by? Even traveling from Guangzhou to Shenzhen wasn’t just on the way." Yan Yan was starting to get used to Qi Yi’s eagerness to lure her to New York sooner.

"Why did you suddenly go to Shenzhen? Is anything wrong with your brother?" Qi Yi got back to the point, knowing Yan Yan has few male friends, and the ones she mentions are few.

Sometimes, Yan Yan would talk to Qi Yi about Jiao Zhifei.

Of course, when Yan Yan talked about Jiao Zhifei, it was purely to list examples of bizarre human behaviors.

For a moment, she couldn’t think of a better "bizarre" example than Jiao Zhifei.

"He said he was heartbroken, couldn’t bear to live, and I was afraid he might do something foolish, so I came to see." Yan Yan was on the phone, and Jiao Zhifei was with her.

Hearing the words about despair, Jiao Zhifei indeed looked at Yan Yan with eyes full of "life is unbearable."

"Go back and rest first. Wait for me to sort out this guy who can’t bear to live, then I’ll call you." Jiao’s bizarre gaze made Yan Yan slightly uncomfortable.

"Alright, let’s leave it at that for now." Qi Yi obediently hung up the phone.

Yan Yan had a feeling that she would eventually have to face the music.

Her boyfriend was never this generous.

"Why didn’t you let me say a few words to brother-in-law?" Jiao Zhifei, feeling life was unbearable, didn’t expect Yan Yan to hang up so quickly and continued, "Didn’t you see my hopeful eyes?"

"You call that eyeing everything indifferently, a smirk but not smiling, hopeful?" Yan Yan looked at Jiao Zhifei somewhat speechlessly.

Yan Yan thought Jiao Zhifei was going to start rampantly bringing his antics into their work again, which is why she changed her flight to come to Shenzhen, but she indeed had mentioned in July that she would be coming.

Now, this visit somewhat fulfilled her promise.

In any case, although she misunderstood Jiao Zhifei’s intentions, the fact that Jiao Zhifei wasn’t preparing to create drama at work was definitely pleasing to Yan Yan.

Just a public welfare project’s research, could it really be researched for such a long time? If so, it should involve research everywhere, both domestically and internationally; there was absolutely no reason to stay continuously in the United Kingdom.

"How long are you planning to stay in the United Kingdom for this conch project?" Yan Yan felt it necessary to ask clearly.

"Probably just one or two months," Jiao Zhifei answered.

"One or two months? Then how are you planning to come to Italy to find me?" Yan Yan was not going to Italy for further studies until next year.

"Vanke is opening some real estate projects in London, I’ll go there and logically just end up staying," Jiao Zhifei shared his plans with Yan Yan.

"So, you really do plan to escape from Shenzhen?" Yan Yan looked at Jiao Zhifei without immediately speaking.

The pain Jiao Zhifei endured over Zhou Yuan was probably much greater than what he was showing now.

"People are chasing after me; I’d need to escape then, wouldn’t I? For someone unwanted like me, is there a need to flee?" Jiao Zhifei responded helplessly to the look Yan Yan was giving him.

"Aren’t you going to try a bit harder?" Yan Yan felt somewhat regretful for Jiao Zhifei.

Zhou Yuan didn’t believe that Jiao Zhifei had loved her all along, and Yan Yan was indeed convinced of that; after all, she had watched Jiao Zhifei "grow up."

"No plans to." Jiao Zhifei was very sure of his answer.

"Can you really let go?" Yan Yan knew this was something that had persisted in Jiao Zhifei’s heart for many years.

"It’s not about whether I can let go or not. Zhou Yuan said something very apt. We are the same kind of people. This relationship, whether I let go or not, no longer holds meaning. The outcome won’t change," Jiao Zhifei spoke to Yan Yan with unusual depth.

"Okay, honestly, the way you love is indeed hard for anyone to understand. If there was another you in this world, then you two would probably resonate and regret not meeting earlier. After all, it’s a very rare occurrence," Yan Yan looked at Jiao Zhifei with comforting eyes, which she rarely used.

Jiao Zhifei was a person who seldom needed others’ comfort.

He and Zhou Yuan alike had a self-sufficient world.

Whether similar people should be together or complementary ones should, the answer was always inconclusive.

Equations of affection might have solutions, but the equations of love are often unsolvable.

If Zhou Yuan and Jiao Zhifei were to take a love compatibility test, they wouldn’t score 100 but at least 99 points.

Yet, every individual is unique; no matter how great the odds, one can’t generalize the feelings of a specific person.

Yan Yan herself was someone who, to heal, ran off to Melbourne several years after a breakup; she didn’t think it was necessary to stop Jiao Zhifei from going to the United Kingdom.

Moreover, even if she had tried to stop him, it probably wouldn’t have been effective, as long as Jiao Zhifei was not abandoning his work to start considering charity as his lifelong career, Yan Yan would still support him.

Jiao Zhifei’s feelings for Zhou Yuan, Zhou Yuan lacked confidence in.

And the timing of Jiao Zhifei’s confession didn’t give him enough opportunity to be with Zhou Yuan.

Two people who should have understood each other well remained very strangers until now.
