Chapter 47
Chapter 46 – Envy You
That night Li Wanqiu came home very late.
Ji Jinyan ate with her, went shopping, played on the swing, and even kissed her on the lips again.
This entire night, Li Wanqiu’s time and thoughts seemed to be completely filled by her, and there was basically no time to think about sad things, and there was nothing else in her mind except her.
Before parting, Ji Jinyan told her to see you tomorrow.
“Well, see you tomorrow.” Li Wanqiu waved her farewell, full of thoughts.
As usual, Ji Jinyan didn’t leave until after watching her go upstairs. This kind of attention made Li Wanqiu feel happy, and a thought gradually floated in her mind, making her inexplicably start to look forward to tomorrow.
She had just said goodbye to Ji Jin, and the next day was just an ordinary working day, but she couldn’t help but look forward to it.
“It’s over.”
Suddenly a voice sounded from the bottom of my heart.
Li Wanqiu coughed lightly, changed into her nightgown and took a few quick steps to wash up, subconsciously glanced at the mirror, and easily noticed the faint red mark on her neck.
It was left by Ji Jinyan, and Li Wanqiu couldn’t tell whether it was the time in the lounge or the time on the swing, when he raised his hand to touch it lightly, a sense of shame suddenly filled his heart.
I can’t wear low-necked clothes these days.
“…”
Li Wanqiu quickly took out a face towel and wiped off the water stains on her face.
Just after walking out of the bathroom, the mobile phone on the table in the living room suddenly rang. Li Wanqiu thought it was Ji Jinyan who called her, and subconsciously quickened her pace until she picked it up, only to realize that it was not.
Soon, Kong Yao’s voice came through the receiver: “Aqiu, are you okay?”
She said, still concerned about what happened in the morning, with an apology in her tone: “I’m really sorry.”
“I don’t blame you.” Li Wanqiu was silent for a while, then shook her head lightly, “If my parents…”
She couldn’t help but pause at this point, and she didn’t want to talk about it anymore, so she subconsciously changed the topic: “Is uncle’s health better now?”
Kong Yao: “Much better.”
Li Wanqiu hummed: “That’s good.”
Kong Yao was filled with emotion: “Thank you.”
“The deadline for submissions will be in a few days.” Afterwards, she said, taking a deep breath, she finally said what she had kept in her heart for many years, “Aqiu, you must work hard.”
“You don’t know, I was actually very jealous of you when I was a child.” Kong Yao on the other end of the phone laughed, and her tone suddenly became relaxed, “You study well and look beautiful. You have never learned to draw systematically before, but He is very talented and draws better than anyone else.”
“But then you actually lost. Even though I knew that all of this was the result of my mother’s secret operations, I was still secretly relieved. I was glad that I kept the first place.”
Kong Yao shook her head: “But I was wrong, the results obtained in this way are still not mine, Aqiu, no matter what the result was at that time, you are undoubtedly the first.”
“It’s the same this time, come back with a good ranking and show me.”
Since childhood, Kong Yao has never been so sensational.
Li Wanqiu was taken aback for a moment, and at this moment the dark clouds in his heart suddenly dissipated. After a long silence, he finally nodded slowly: “Well, I will work hard.”
Kong Yao laughed: “Good night then.”
“Good night.” Li Wanqiu hung up the phone in response, and walked to the balcony, wanting to look at her paintings again before going to bed.
It wasn’t until I got closer that I realized that there was an extra note on the easel at some point.
It was Ji Jinyan’s handwriting, probably written after she took a nap. Li Wanqiu read it a little bit, and every sentence was her own suggestion. Two days ago, she accidentally mentioned the bottleneck to Ji Jinyan. It was obviously just an unintentional remark, but she didn’t expect her to remember it in her heart.
Li Wanqiu read each and every one of them, and couldn’t help being very moved, until he saw the last one that said “there is more on the back”, and quickly turned the note over.
I thought it would be a long story, but there were only two short sentences written on it.
She said: “Li Wanqiu, don’t put too much psychological burden on yourself, the previous page is just my nonsense, just read it as you like.”
“It’s just a small game, I always believe you can.”
Li Wanqiu held the sticky note tightly, and her eye sockets became moist easily. She felt that she had become a crybaby today. Although she felt ashamed, she couldn’t stop her tears for no reason.
Ji Jinyan is probably the most gentle person she has ever met in her life. How can people not like such a person, no matter their age or status, they will make people feel excited and happy.
“…”
She thought she had never looked forward to tomorrow like this.
Early the next morning, Li Wanqiu arrived at Bi Xia on time.
Because of Ji Jinyan’s considerate care, her illness has completely recovered. It seems that her colleagues heard the news of her illness and rushed to her office to visit her.
They even brought a lot of condolences, most of which are chocolate desserts and other gadgets. The price is not high, but they are all precious gifts.
Li Wanqiu thanked them one by one, and put away the condolences properly.
Ji Jinyan is not at the winery today, he went out to run some errands, Li Wanqiu couldn’t wait for her to come back for a long time, and he was a little bit disappointed at the moment, it happened that there was a document that Ji Jinyan needed to read, remembering the note posted on the easel, she simply adopted it in such a way.
——She originally wanted to ask how Ji Jinyan thought of her.
But when he raised his hand, he couldn’t write down. Li Wanqiu had never been in a relationship, and he had never been able to read Ji Jinyan’s mind. He became cautious even in how to test her.
After a moment of silence, she finally gritted her teeth and hurriedly wrote a few words: Do you hate me?
“…”
So be it.
Li Wanqiu stood up, put the document neatly on Ji Jinyan’s desktop, turned around and walked back to the office, and fell into the busyness again.
It was only when he was about to get off work that he finally saw Ji Jinyan.
Li Wanqiu pricked up her ears to pay attention to her movements, and felt that she should have read the document and also saw the note hidden in it, but she didn’t wait for her response for a long time.
doing what?
Didn’t you see it?
so busy?
Li Wanqiu was dying of anxiety, and the courage she had finally mustered up was gradually exhausted. It just so happened that it was time to get off work, and she seemed relieved, and hurriedly packed her small bag and prepared to leave.
But when he was in front of the elevator door, he was suddenly stopped by Ji Jinyan, turned around, and soon met her smiling face.
I also noticed that she was holding a bouquet of flowers in her hand, like… small daisies.
“Going home, I’ll see you off.” Ji Jinyan smiled, and handed the little daisy in his hand to her, “A present for you.”
“Thank you.” Li Wanqiu didn’t know why, “This is?”
“Congratulations on your recovery.” Ji Jinyan said.
Li Wanqiu nodded: “Oh…”
After finishing speaking, the elevator just arrived.
Li Wanqiu didn’t know whether Ji Jinyan had seen the note, she was a little absent-minded during the whole process, and her words gradually became less and less, until after the car drove out for a long time, she suddenly remembered something: “I saw the opinion you gave me.”
“Very useful,” she said, “thank you.”
“You’re welcome.” Ji Jinyan smiled, and glanced at her from the corner of his eye, “It’s good to be of help.”
Li Wanqiu nodded: “Yes.”
“Did you have lunch?” Li Wanqiu asked again after being silent for a while.
She didn’t know what to say at the moment, but she couldn’t help but want to talk to Ji Jinyan, even if it was nonsense, she felt happy.
Ji Jinyan responded: “Yes.”
Li Wanqiu blinked: “What about dinner?”
As soon as the words fell, Ji Jinyan couldn’t help laughing: “Not yet.”
“It was only four o’clock when I came back.”
Yes, stupid.
Li Wanqiu sighed, never had such an experience of looking for something to say before, and was hesitating to say something, when the people around him suddenly said, “Here we are.”
Li Wanqiu paused, and subconsciously raised her eyes to see that she had already arrived at the community where she lived.
“Good night.” Ji Jinyan looked over, his voice very soft.
Li Wanqiu nodded, slowly opened the car door and got up to say goodbye to her: “…well, good night.”
After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked forward. After a while, he suddenly heard a voice behind him. It seemed that Ji Jinyan got out of the car with her, and stood there watching her leave.
The night wind blew the daisy in her hand, and a faint fragrance permeated it. Li Wanqiu smelled the fragrance of the flower, and walked slower and slower, until a few seconds later, she turned around again.
Then she took a deep breath: “Ji Jinyan.”
Ji Jinyan raised his eyes in response: “What’s wrong?”
Li Wanqiu coughed softly: “Did you… see the note I left for you?”
As soon as the words fell, Ji Jinyan curled his lips and nodded slightly.
Sure enough, I saw it.
Li Wanqiu paused, and said again like a broken pot: “Do you have anything to say to me?”
Ji Jinyan looked at her, and the smile in his eyes seemed to grow stronger: “Indeed.”
“It’s all in the flowers.”
flowers…
Li Wanqiu lowered her eyes in response, and looked at the little daisy in her arms again, only to realize that there was a note hidden deep in the flowers. When she opened it, it was the one she had secretly put in the file at noon.
But it was different, Ji Jinyan not only answered her question on the above, but even carefully crossed out the word “disgusting”.
become likes.
“Of course not,” she said.
“It’s too late for me to like you.”
One word at a time, the words are gentle and the handwriting is exquisite.
Seeing this, Li Wanqiu paused, the tip of her nose suddenly became a little sour, and when she raised her head, Ji Jinyan suddenly walked in front of her.
Li Wanqiu pursed her lips immediately, not wanting her to see her face in shame, raised her gaze tentatively, met Shang Ji Jinyan’s eyes again, and subconsciously asked, “You… like me?”
“En.” As soon as the words fell, Ji Jinyan answered simply.
Li Wanqiu raised her hand and rubbed her eyes, and after a while she murmured in a low voice: “When is it?”
“It’s been a long time ago.” Ji Jinyan smiled, gently took Li Wanqiu’s head, and told her to lean into his arms, his tone was very soft, and he said with emotion, “It’s been a long time.”
“Li Wanqiu, do you know the flower language of daisies?” She asked suddenly.
Li Wanqiu was a little speechless, she just shook her head, tears soaked a small corner of her clothes.
Ji Jinyan smiled quickly, with the boundless moonlight reflected in his eyes, he answered the question just now self-consciously: “It’s a secret love.”
“Actually… I have admired you since a long time ago, and I love you so much.”
