The Side Story of An Yan – Honey Peaches Is in My Hands (Part 1)

Oi! I am an article!

An Yan stood beside the flowerbed. He feels like the moon somewhere far and remote, hasty and covered by dark clouds*. Who can understand how he feels?

*T/N Shout to the magnificent Minodayz, who traces this reference (from a distant month) to the Tang Dynasty poem, ⁇ ·

Oi! I am an article!

In front of his eyes was this picture—

The light is dim. A few meters away from her, among the flowers, stood a pair of beautiful people. The man was tall, and his shirt and suit looked good. The woman was even more beautiful and alluring, incomparable.

The man said, “Fangfang, I love you so much. I have loved you for four years. I'm ready to confess to you, but you tell everyone that you now have a police officer as a girlfriend. .”

Gu Fangfang replied, “Since you know I have a boyfriend, why are you looking for me?”

Oi! I am an article!

Beside her, An Yan smiled slightly.

However, the man was unwilling to accept this. The dissatisfaction and stubbornness of a person who did not get what he wanted was written all over his graceful face. “But, Fang Fang! None of us have seen that guy before! Even if he's a cop, how could we not even see him for the past year or two? I've read on the Internet about fraudsters pretending to be police officers, but really poor con artists who want to trick you into giving up your property and body! This is the kind of guy you trust! ”

This statement really made Gu Fangfang angry. An Yan had indeed left as he said, and had disappeared for a year. Moreover, he actually looked like someone who did not have a dime of his name. But how could he be a liar? He is responsible for monitoring all surveillance in cosplay cases!

“Do not talk nonsense. .” Gu Fangfang started, when he suddenly heard a familiar and cold voice from behind him, saying very stiffly, “You are a liar!”

Gu Fangfang was shocked and delighted as he turned to look at the face he had missed. However, since it had been a long time since they had met, when he saw her face, it felt familiar. After all, nothing happened between them before he left. Not even a kiss. But, he subconsciously defended her, waited for her, and told everyone that she was his girlfriend. When he considered that An Yan might know about this, Gu Fangfang's face turned crimson in a split second.

However, since it was night time, An Yan was unable to notice it. In any case, his attention was entirely focused on the rotten comedian trying to pull the rug from under his feet and damage his position*. The Joker never expected that An Yan would suddenly appear like this and his shock and discomfort were visible on his face.

*T/N (qiao qiang jiao) – literally, to open the corner (the intersection between the two walls). Figuratively speaking, it refers to pulling a rug from under your feet, or a strategy of targeting or eliminating those close to your opponent, in order to gain the greatest benefit for yourself.

“You clearly know that the other party has a girlfriend, yet you are still trying to break in and ruin our relationship. Your intentions are basic, and your loyalty is questionable. You don't know anything about me, yet you infer the worst about me and tarnish my name. This indicates that you lack judgment and blindly conform to the majority, or you are willing to engage in any means necessary, whether fair or fraudulent, to achieve your goal – to cheat Fangfang. Whatever the reason, you are unfit to interact with Fangfang.”

For good or bad, as someone who had been with Bo Jinyan for several years, even when An Yan spoke carelessly, there was logic in his words. These words had such an impact that Gu Fangfang saw the expression on the man's face change. He even retreated half a step to stay close to An Yan. The young man was furious; he never imagined that An Yan would become an expert in eloquence. He scoffed and replied, “I am not worthy to interact with Gu Fangfang? Then let me ask you, You little police officer, I am a university graduate of Project 211*, what about you? Are your academic records compared to mine? Can you bring Fangfang happiness?”

*Project T/N 211 was started in 1995 by the Ministry of Education of China to improve the research standards of high-level universities and develop strategies for socio-economic development. Will be prestigious enough to be a university graduate under Project 211. Read more about it here.

Gu Fangfang's expression had changed again and he was just about to intervene. To his surprise, the man by his side coldly spoke up. “Computing at Tsinghua University*, direct Master.”

*T/N You can read more about Tsinghua University standing here, but suffice it to say that An Yan defeated (really, completely, completely) his unfortunate love rival.

His love rival is speechless.

Gu Fangfang was speechless.

His love rival said, “Liar! You just talk big! ”

With an indifferent expression, An Yan took out his phone and carelessly pressed a few buttons before showing the screen to her. The man instantly became a fool – An Yan actually conjured up a picture of his Tsinghua University student identity card! There was only one thought that flashed through the man's mind – his movements were extremely fast!

Gu Fangfang looked at An Yan with complex emotions – he always thought he was a graduate of an ordinary police academy, and never imagined that he was a super student! When she thought about it carefully, she never asked him about his background because he did not appreciate these things.

The man is still reluctant to leave things as they are. His face flushed and said bitterly, “What's so great about graduating from Tsinghua University? Graduates from Peking University cannot find jobs and must sell pork in the market! When I graduated, I started working at my family's company, and I had an apartment and a car in Beijing. What do you got? You still allow Fangfang to stay in this small rented apartment!”

His love rival once again fell silent.

Gu Fangfang said, “. . . No need, I. .”

The love rival can't hold back anymore. He felt that there was no way he could talk to An Yan. Feeling humiliated and angry, he said loudly, “So what? I've got a family company, you're just a kid. Penal. Researcher. Whom. Checks. And. Monitors. Things!”

Gu Fangfang exploded. “Continue? Even if he's a petty criminal investigator who checks and monitors things, I like him and I don't like you! Scram! I don't want to see you again!”

An Yan blinked quickly. In her eyes, under the raging rage, she could only see her even more beautiful and adorable boyfriend with his red cheeks. Gu Fangfang was more arrogant than him. Without staring at the man again, he grabbed An Yan's hand and said, “Let's go!”

An Yan said, “Oke.”

The man they left behind felt his heart finally break into pieces. As he stood in the wind, his heartache was so intense that he yearned for death.

Finally calm down, Gu Fangfang and An Yan sat, shoulder to shoulder, on a bench on the ground floor of a building in the neighborhood. The night wind is blowing softly. Both of them felt a little embarrassed and did not speak.

After a while, Gu Fangfang asked, “When are you back?”

He replied, “Newly.”

Gu Fangfang looked down, pursed his lips and remained silent.

“Have you finished what you did?” he asked again, full of hope.

An Yan felt a slight pain in his chest as he replied, “Soon.”

Of course, Gu Fangfang did not know the dangers and malicious nature of the case. When she heard him say he was going to be done soon, she heaved a sigh of relief and smiled before saying, “I've never seen you like this tonight.” Show off your abilities, not producing an inch.

An Yan said, without further ado, “Before, I never realized that there was someone trying to take mine.”

Gu Fangfang's face was heating up. He turned his head, only to find An Yan's calm black eyes staring at him. “Ada . . . Many people love it?”

“Hmmm. . . I rejected eight people this year, ”he said honestly.

An Yan's eyes turned dark.

Gu Fangfang really wanted to laugh, but held it back.

Who knows, in the next second, he had grabbed her shoulder and lowered his head to kiss her.

This . . . their first kiss.

The fresh and clean breath of a man is like the light of the moon, like the leaves of a tree, like a cool breeze. However, there was also a strength and passion typical for the youths. He was obviously inexperienced, but this was something he missed, so his long, slender fingers that usually danced around on the keyboard clasped his chin firmly while kissing him repeatedly, she said, obviously wanted to take as much as he could. His other hand was subconsciously leaning against Gu Fangfang's shoulder, from which it moved to pull him tightly onto his body. Gu Fangfang's face was completely red, and his eyes were wet. When she finally let go, she asked gently, “Do you feel it?”

Gu Fangfang whispered, “Why should you ask a question like this?”

An Yan looked at her very seriously and said, “Bos I say to always pay attention to the girl's feelings, and the most appropriate and least open method for misinterpretation is to ask directly.”

Gu Fangfang rolled his eyes. “Your boss is really weird!” And then, gently, “This kind of thing, just feel fine.”

An Yan thought for a moment, then smiled. “True. I feel good, how about you?” Gu Fangfang hit him, and smiled.
