Ji Huai could clearly feel that Sun Ya's trust in him had increased a lot since the cell phone incident.
Trust itself needs to be accumulated little by little. He has used up most of it before, and now he can only start over and accumulate it little by little.
Ji Huai used to keep his cell phone in his hand. In order to prevent Sun Ya from peeking, he had to put a privacy film on it. With that guilty look, she could tell even if she didn't show it too much.
To put it bluntly, she didn't feel safe, and she vaguely knew that Ji Huai was withdrawing his emotions. She seemed to be in a dispensable position. But it's just speculation, without actual evidence.
Repeated "misunderstandings" made Sun Ya begin to doubt or even deny her sixth sense. Coupled with Ji Huai's careful management, the relationship between the two gradually returned to a healthier state.
After dealing with his Xiao Jiujiu, Ji Huai now has no objections. He was so open and honest that he could even hand over his mobile phone to her with confidence and boldness.
The less guarded he is against her, the higher Sun Ya's trust in him becomes. This is all mutual.
In the company, after what happened last time, no one said anything about the ambiguous relationship between Ji Huai and Qin Jiajia. He recently praised Zhu Ling, saying that the yellow skirt she wore was beautiful and made her look whiter.
No one doubted that he was interested in Zhu Ling.
Zhu Ling was quite carefree and took the initiative to say, "This brand is doing a promotion recently. This skirt can be discounted by 200. I don't mind matching shirts. If your girlfriend likes it too, I can send you a link."
"Okay." Ji Huai was happy and got his reward quickly.
Zhu Ling didn't hesitate and sent him the link in a few seconds, and also taught him where to get the coupons to save another twenty yuan. The two were communicating carefully.
Qin Jiajia walked by without getting involved, and she was not as enthusiastic as before. She always expressed herself intentionally or unintentionally.
She didn't take the initiative to provoke Ji Huai now. He was not a rich second generation, and he was not worthy of her efforts. In order not to bring shame on herself, she could only treat him as a colleague.
If he didn't release the information, she wouldn't dare rush up.
Ji Huai has been working overtime these days and will get off work a little later than Sun Ya. He used to not ask her to come to the company and go back together, but now that their relationship has become more intense, sometimes they have to make phone calls for more than ten minutes and half an hour during lunch break, and of course they have to have dinner together, so he will ask her to come to the company and wait for him.
The company he works for is close to the city, with many shopping malls and several commercial streets.
After Sun Ya came here several times, everyone in the office knew that she was Ji Huai's girlfriend, and they would chat with her from time to time.
After he gets off work, the two of them will have a big meal and go home together.
On the way home, there was a gentle breeze, just like countless nights in college. We walked slowly along the playground and along the school road, and there were endless things to say to each other.
Now that we have been together for a long time, there are not many topics to talk about, but as long as we are together, even if we don't talk, the atmosphere is very good.
That feeling is like knowing that each other will be there and will always be there.
"You're walking too slowly." He turned around and said to her. When she came up, he reached out to hold her hand and crossed the road together.
Before she could be happy, he said again, "Short legs are short legs."
Sun Ya: "..."
She is 1.65 meters tall, which is not short among girls, but he is 1.87 meters tall. Today she was still wearing flat shoes, so there was a big difference in height.
Originally she tolerated it and did not refute him. Ji Huai continued to seek death, "I take one step, you have to take a few steps, otherwise you won't be able to keep up."
Sun Ya felt that he disliked her, and her temper got worse. "Then find someone who doesn't have to walk a few steps. Find someone who is taller."
A war was about to break out between the two, but Ji Huai acted as if he didn't feel anything. He pulled her forward and said, "It's you in this life, don't look for anyone else."
He spoke slowly but without thinking at all.
When Sun Ya heard this, she felt guilty for some reason. Because she had been preparing to give up Ji Huai, give up their relationship, and prepare to leave.
And he seemed to have always chosen her firmly.
Her anger disappeared immediately, but she still felt a little sorry for him.
Ji Huai walked halfway to the road, changed direction, and stood on her right. He grabbed her hand again and rubbed it twice. "I would have resigned myself to my fate if I met you."
"It sounds so bad about me," she muttered.
"Everything else is pretty good, except for the height..." After crossing the road, Ji Huai turned around. The shoes he wore today were still a little taller, so he stretched out his hand to mark the gap between the two of them.
He was looking down at her, with a smile in his eyes.
"Are you afraid of affecting the genes of your descendants?" She also argued.
"I'm not afraid." He quickly replied, "I'm tall, neutral, neutral. Our child is definitely not short."
Sun Ya snorted coldly.
He came over and said, "Just inherit your beauty."
There were cracks in her stern face, and the corners of her mouth curved upward. He put his arm around her shoulders and walked back to the sidewalk together.
Sun Ya leaned in his arms and just when she was about to hug his waist, the phone in her bag rang.
At the end of the month, the landlord sent her this month’s bill.
She rents this house, so the monthly bills are sent to her. Ji Huai didn't pay them before, she was the one who paid them. Although she had to pay even if he didn't come, the expenses for two people were still a little higher than for one person, including a lot more water and electricity.
It was originally agreed that Ji Huai would give her this month, but he spent a lot of money on her, transferring money and buying cosmetics. He also paid more for meals these days, so she didn't care and planned to give it to the landlord. Turn around.
What she always cared about was not the money, not that he had to pay the rent, but that he was willing to spend her money, taking it all for granted, and only caring about himself.
If he didn't, then she wouldn't be very clear about it, and would even be willing to spend money on her.
"How much?" Ji Huai took a look and took out his phone, "I'll send it to her."
"You don't have the prestige of the landlord." Sun Ya said. She has no money in her prestige, so she has to withdraw cash before she can send it.
"I have it. It was added during the last maintenance." He had already found out the landlord's authority and sent it to the other party. He put the phone in his pocket and said, "Sent it to him."
Sun Ya was about to send it, but she quickly stopped, raised her head and asked him, "Do you still have money?"
Ji Huai: "There's still a little left."
Sun Ya felt that he had become extremely cheerful and couldn't help but say, "I'm not used to being so generous all of a sudden. It saved me a lot of money."
"Not generous." He refused to admit it.
She listed the transfer, cosmetics, and rent, but he smiled, "Isn't the transfer just to make you angry? I promised to buy you the cosmetics for your birthday last year, but I haven't bought them yet? I don't even have enough money to transfer to you. , you asked me to pay the rent."
He explained so clearly that Sun Ya couldn't find anything wrong.
"I had no money before and had no other options. Now that I can make money, there's nothing wrong with spending it on you." He himself didn't feel there was anything unusual about it.
When Sun Ya said this, she felt like she was overthinking it. She was overthinking him, and she even thought about it in her mind. When he was in school, he would occasionally spend some money on her, but not much.
"I will also save the remaining money and will not spend it randomly." She promised. He said that we should work together and save money together, and she would not hold him back.
"Don't embarrass yourself too much. Let's take it slow. I'll look for a job with a higher salary after a while." He reached out and patted the top of her head and rubbed it gently.
Sun Ya: "Yeah."
In fact, she doesn't need much commitment from him, and she may not even fulfill all the things she says, and it hasn't been long since he graduated.
As long as the two of them have plans, they feel confident and have hope for the future.
And this hope did not last long before it was shattered.
Sun Ya received a call from the Sun family a week later and bought a plane ticket overnight to rush back.
Sun's father suddenly fell ill and was hospitalized. He was undergoing a full-body examination.
On the way back, Sun Ya felt weak all over. She is not an only daughter, she has an older brother, but she has been in a foreign land since college and comes back several times a year. She is most afraid of her parents getting sick.
The doctor initially suspects that there is a lesion and whether it is malignant or benign requires further examination.
The county is very small and the test reports are not very accurate, so minor surgery is required, samples are taken and sent to big cities, and then sent back. This process takes a week.
The Sun family all hid it from Sun's father, but they didn't hide it. Brother Sun is already married, and Sun's father is most worried about Sun Ya. He knows that she is still with Ji Huai, and hopes that they will separate so that she can stop working hard in the big city and come back to get married and have children.
"Dad, Ji Huai and I are very good," she said.
"Men know men, and Dad thinks he is unreliable." Sun's father sighed, "It has been so long since graduation, have you seen that he has some plans? Not to mention that he is idle and unstable at this age. If you stay with him for a few years, If he is calm, you may not succeed."
Grandmother also advised, "Girls only have a few years to bloom, and Ji Huai's family background is not good, so why should he ask for trouble?"
"Let's work hard together and make plans." Sun Ya said something nice for him.
"Last time you came back and said you couldn't get married. Ji Huai has a lot of problems. He is like that. I don't think he has the capital to marry you within five years. Are you still going to endure it? I don't know you yet? If it's not time to break up, You won't tell us the situation." Grandmother exposed her immediately, "To say the least, if you work hard together, I think you are doing the majority of the hard work. When the time comes, you will work hard to pay the down payment and pay the mortgage. You will have to endure hardship for a long time. "
Sun Ya was silent, unable to refute.
Her relationship with Ji Huai has improved a lot, but it is undeniable that Ji Huai's future plans are probably only three minutes of enthusiasm, and it is indeed unknown.
He's still like a big boy now.
"Dad doesn't know if he can survive this time. He's already at this age, and he's looking away. My biggest wish is for you to come back and stop working hard outside. How much money can you make? In the past two years, you have saved enough money. You're eating takeout outside and working overtime. It's better to go home and eat hot rice and drink soup. Find a boy from a better family, who is more reliable. If you want to be strong-tempered, you have to find someone who is older than you and knows how to do it. I love you." Sun's father said sincerely.
Ji Huai was the same age as his daughter, and boys of the same age were not very mature. They might have to wait until they were thirty before considering getting married, which Sun Ya couldn't afford.
Sun's father's words seemed to turn into sharp knives piercing Sun Ya's heart.
She is not a little girl who has just graduated. She has entered society for two years. She has not saved any money and she is so far away from her parents. She couldn't provide her with companionship, and she didn't even have the courage to say she would bear her grandson's father's medical expenses.
The feeling of powerlessness swept over her and pressed on her chest, making her feel suffocated and painful. She could only whisper, "Dad, Mom, let's talk about this later. Dad will treat the disease first, and everything will be fine."
"It all depends on fate." Sun's father did not show any anxiety. Instead, he said, "I don't know how long Dad can live. I really want you to come back. Come back to work and don't waste time."
In the eyes of the grandchildren, their daughter has good academic qualifications, good abilities, and looks even better, and is pretty. Why waste time with Ji Huai
The other party has no family background, let alone caring for others. He is careless and does not like him anyway.
They also really wanted Sun Ya to come back. When people grow old, they always want their children to be with them.
Sun Ya struggled in her eyes. She had discussed this issue with Ji Huai a few days ago. The two felt that they had to work hard in the first-tier cities for a few years. If they could stay, they would stay. If they couldn't, they would save money and come back to buy a house and get married.
But this is only an ideal state. Even in small places, housing prices are still very high. Whether it is in the past few years or in the future, they will have a hard time.
Father Sun said in a deep voice: "If you don't come back, I don't know how many times I will be able to see you before I die."
"Dad! Don't talk like that." Sun Ya was anxious.
"Forget it, forget it." Sun's father waved his hand and went to sleep directly.
Sun's mother said a few more words, all of which were trying to persuade Sun Ya.
Once her parents exerted pressure and the situation was like this, Sun Ya didn't even have the strength to refute, and was left with only exhaustion and helplessness.
She took a week off, and her grandma wanted to stay with her in bed today, so she went back.
After returning, she discovered that Ji Huai had called her several times, sent her more than a dozen messages, and even made voice calls.
She was very confused, so she just gave him a simple reply, and then said she was going to take a shower, and then replied to him after a while.
Ji Huai has also been waiting.
He knew that his grandson's father was ill, and his condition was quite serious. It seemed to be esophageal cancer. However, because of early detection and active treatment, his life was not seriously affected in the end.
He only found out about his previous life at the end. He had broken up with Sun Ya at that time. He finally got free and stopped paying attention to her. It's hard to imagine how she survived at that time. I heard that she was seriously ill.
Sun Ya came out of the shower and started sending messages to Ji Huai. He made a direct video call.
No matter how hard she tried to hide her emotions, he noticed her depression and haggardness.
"Is uncle okay?" he asked.
"It's okay." She shook her head and forced a smile.
It must be fine!
Ji Huai didn't ask too much and changed the subject, "Are you tired?"
"Yeah." She nodded.
"Let's chat for a while and then go to bed." He didn't bother her and comforted her, "It won't be so bad when you wake up. I saw the weather over there and it's been pretty good these days."
Sun Ya looked at his face and fell into deep thought. After a while, she said, "How long do you plan to stay in Y City before coming back?"
"Isn't it five years?" Ji Huai replied to her, "Didn't we agree to stay for five years?"
"...um..." she responded.
"What's wrong? Do you want to go back?" He grasped the key point.
He didn't know when she went back in her previous life. It was a long time before he learned about her. He also wanted to contact her, but she cut off all contact, so he couldn't find her.
Sun Ya gritted her teeth and said tentatively, "What will you do if I want to come back?"
If Sun's father is in trouble, she may really come back, but Ji Huai will not come back. The wages here are low, and he is unwilling to live in a small city and wants to work hard in a big city.
She was actually the same, but she couldn't help it. He was more ambitious than she was, and more restless.
"I don't want to come back," he said bluntly. The reason was just as she thought, she was very helpless, "If I come back and can't find a good job, how can I marry you?"
Sun Ya lowered her eyes, didn't speak for a long time, and didn't want to continue talking. She pursed her lips and smiled, pretending to be relaxed, "Then you won't come back. I may not come back, and I won't be able to find a good job if I come back."
If she comes back and he is still there, separated from each other, why would she marry him
It's impossible for two people.
What else did Ji Huai want to say? She took the lead and said, "I'm very sleepy. I'm going to bed. I have to get up early to go to the hospital tomorrow. You have to go to bed early too, and you have to go to work tomorrow."
She hung up the video in a hurry, as if she was afraid that he would notice her strange mood. Ji Huai didn't even have time to say good night to her, so he could only type it and send it.
Sun Ya didn't reply, so she probably didn't look at her phone.
After waiting for a while, he also put the phone aside and stared at the ceiling in a daze.
