As soon as the words fell, the free-flowing air seemed to be suddenly solidified by a strong cold temperature difference.
Ji Lin froze in place, as if frozen.
Ji Xuanyi shook his hand back, patted the back of his mother's hand, said "good night", and walked away quickly.
He drove the public back to Grand Hyatt Court, went upstairs to the sports equipment room for an hour, then went to the master bedroom, took out his pajamas in the cloakroom and took a shower.
The doors of his cloakroom cabinets are all installed with tea-colored transparent glass, and the neatly hung clothes inside can be clearly seen.
Half of them are mainly black, white and grey, monotonous ascetic style, and the other half is the complete opposite, colorful and sweet girly style with all kinds of styles.
And on the low cabinet? Most of the items are girls' things.
Ji Xuanyi lowered his deep eyes and picked up a small bottle of perfume.
It went from him and returned to the "Jiajing" in his hands.
He unpacked all the three boxes that Su Jia sent back?, and counted them one by one.
Except for the Polaroid photos that they were on the mountain, which were sent by kind people and put in the wallet, the rest were stored in the master bedroom—the place where he was closest to him and spent the longest time in his house.
Ji Xuanyi's cold fingertips rubbed "Jiajing" for a few seconds, his eyes were slack and his face was in a daze, as if he could pass through this glass bottle and touch its former owner.
Suddenly, he took a deep breath, put down the bottle, and went into the bathroom.
After cleaning, Ji Xuanyi changed into comfortable clothes, served a glass of sake, and sat down to the studio.
However, in the past twenty days or so, four or five new paintings have appeared in the area of the easel in front of the window.
The plain white canvas is covered with colorful colors, and all the finely drawn ones are the same outline.
Bright and beautiful, the girl Ting Tingyu with high ponytail is standing on the balcony of the dormitory, strolling happily in the avenue of the campus, holding books high, studying hard, and almost bumping into the cute appearance of the tree trunk and so on.
All this? Twenty-three days, he secretly met her.
The spring is infinitely beautiful, far less than her.
Unknowingly, Ji Xuanyi glanced across those paintings one by one with a slight smile, and looked closely at the details, his smile deepened.
Recently, I have been concentrating and producing with high intensity, and it seems that I have practiced some basic skills.
He always wants to use a more vivid, smoother, and more accurate brush to reinterpret her bit by bit, and freeze it forever.
Ji Xuanyi took a sip of wine, took out a new canvas, and just fixed it on the easel when the phone rang.
That kid Zhou Yuan prefers to search for fun everywhere, and when he connects, there will be a series of teasing voices: "Hahaha, hahahaha..."
Ji Xuanyi's expression remained calm, calm and composed: "Speak human language."
"Hey, that's how fierce you are to me." Zhou Yuan forced himself to stop laughing, "I heard you came here in a broken Volkswagen? Did the school spy on Su Jia? Hahaha, just because of this... , I can laugh at you for the rest of my life."
Ji Xuanyi didn't think so, but said: "If I can't speak human words anymore, I'll die."
Zhou Yuan hurriedly said: "Don't worry, it has something to do with Sister Su Jia? Do you listen?"
Ji Xuanyi got up and paced to the window, parted the thick curtain with his fingertips, and a ray of moonlight fell into his dim eyes.
He adjusted his patience: "Speak quickly."
"Yao Linxia said that Su Jia was not very happy after returning to the dormitory tonight, but under her strong supervision, she had finished drinking the hot milk and fell asleep."
Zhou Yuan specially emphasized: "You don't want to? Go to private message Yao Linxia to say thank you. If you want to thank me, I'll just convey it."
Ji Xuanyi raised his eyes to look at the headspace, and a soft and bright crescent moon melted from the edge, and he said "hmm" very lightly.
Zhou Yuan tutted his tongue: "I didn't say it, why did you use such a stupid method? It's like a stunned young man who has never been in a relationship."
Ji Xuanyi turned around, and leaned lazily on the window sill, staring at a portrait of Su Jia with faint eyes: "Do you have a good idea?"
"Step by step? Well, Yao Linxia said that Su Jia is more stubborn than anyone else in her heart, and it is difficult to change what she believes. How much do you have to work hard, but you have to be moderate, otherwise? Be careful that she will report and warn you to harass."
At the end, Zhou Yuan couldn't help laughing again, as if he was looking forward to that day: "If you are arrested, I will definitely be the first to visit the prison."
Ji Xuanyi was not in the mood to pay attention to his behavior of harming friends, and did not say a word.
Lonely nights are the easiest time to brew emotions, Zhou Yuan sighed sincerely: "I never thought that one day I will not only see you being dumped by a little girl, but also have the opportunity to teach you how to chase girls."
Ji Xuanyi walked back to the drawing board, raised the frosted wine glass, and drank the remaining spicy liquid in one gulp.
He stared dazedly at the little girl who could only be recorded on the drawing paper, so she wouldn't act willfully and out of control.
As for her, don't forget this hasty meeting, Ji Xuanyi has too many unexpected things.
In the past, no matter what, he couldn't figure out why he always had to deal with a little girl who had just grown up. Only now did he understand that some people are doomed the moment they meet.
As long as she gives you a look, she is willing to sink and surrender.
Ji Xuanyi pinched the phone with a gloomy expression, and dipped the tip of the pen in bright warm yellow, thinking while drawing, thinking while drawing.
As the general curve of the figure is outlined, his flickering blue eyes become more and more obsessed and crazy, seeming to have a dark light of paranoia.
In this way, it was another long sleepless night.
—
Because she is alone and used to drink a cup of warm milk to help sleep before going to bed, Su Jia's sleep quality is getting better and better, and she even dreamed about that person this night.
The intimacy and sweetness of the past in the dream dissipated like a rainbow at the moment of waking up, and collapsed into endless emptiness and loneliness.
Fortunately, it's another Monday that needs to be 8 in the morning, and the high-pressure study task does not allow her to do much.
Su Jia got up and finished washing, took some milk and bread, and went outside with her roommates to take the school bus to the law school.
When I got into the car, I found that Li Shuo's group from the Sports Academy was also there.
They greeted each other: "Hi, are you eight early too?"
"We are the same Tianyazao eight people, we have to suffer together."
In a school with a large number of students, they are not the only ones who are eight years old, and the school bus with limited seats is already full.
The boys got on the bus early and occupied their seats. At this time, they stood up gentlemanly and gave up their seats to them: "You are welcome, sit quickly."
Su Jia was pushed down by Yao Lin and sat in the solo seat vacated by Li Shuo.
Li Shuo's stature was outstanding, he easily held the ring with one hand, and fixed it in front of her.
Su Jia squeezed the bag of bread tightly with her fingertips, and took the lead in chatting about last night: "Do you want to work part-time at a milk tea shop all the time?"
Li Shuo looked down at her, shrugged and sighed: "Yes, life is not easy, so we can only work hard."
Su Jia blinked unnaturally, and asked the question that was delayed by the sudden appearance of Ji Xuanyi at the convenience store last night: "Where's your little green plum?"
"In? New York." Li Shuo blurted out, looked around, bent slightly, and shared in a low voice: "I was chatting with her just now, is there a time difference between her and us, now? Find a classmate to participate Going to the party."
After finishing speaking, he straightened up? As if nothing had happened.
Su Jia quickly raised her eyes and glanced at him. In his black and white eyes, she caught the dots and stars, which were full of expectations.
It's like she really likes someone deeply.
Su Jia lowered her eyes, slandering herself for thinking too much and being too sentimental.
Suddenly, Li Shuo changed into a serious face: "Ji Xuanyi will come again in the future? To pester you, you find me, and I will help you deal with him."
As a result, Su Jia's wandering thoughts focused on the man he mentioned, and he pursed his lips awkwardly: "Thank you, it shouldn't be necessary."
"Just in case." Li Shuo insisted, "I will help you anyway, we are good friends."
The bus happened to stop at the Sports Academy. After he finished speaking, he waved warmly to her, said "goodbye", and got off the bus with his brothers.
Su Jia didn't pay much attention to it, let alone cared about him, took out her mobile phone to read the memo, and went over today's study schedule.
A week passed by, Su Jia observed carefully, and did not find the Volkswagen or other suspicious vehicles.
She reckoned that Ji Xuanyi had listened to the conversation that night, and had thoroughly seen the current situation. She would not waste any more time and energy on a passerby who could only exist in a short period of freshness and had a rather awkward personality. .
She breathed a sigh of relief and lowered her vigilance appropriately.
On Saturday afternoon, Su Jia and Li Mengxin made an appointment with a tutor and went there on time.
In this community with strange green design and winding roads, she is already familiar with the roads, and she can walk effortlessly, and there will never be any accidents of getting lost again.
But she can only look for one way to go. If she accidentally steps on another fork, she may get into the maze again and can't get out.
And walking along this old road, you will inevitably pass Ji Xuanyi's four-story villa.
Walking nearby, Su Jia's peripheral vision involuntarily drifted over, imagining that the interior was inspired by Ji Xuanyi's design, and the decoration style was like an art gallery.
But she didn't stop at all, and arrived at Li's house even faster, for fear that she would encounter him on the balcony on the second floor just like the first day she set foot here, which would only add to the embarrassment.
But who is not as good as it is? God knows, when Su Jia stood in front of the yard of the Li family, crossed the iron fence, and looked into the garden, he saw the man he had just thought of.
This time, she remembered how long it had been since they had met.
six days and nights.
Famous for its fragrance and inseparable from flowers, the Li family's garden is the most prosperous season of the year, when many species are blooming and blooming, all kinds of colorful and luxuriant.
The three of them, together with Ji Xuanyi, were all in the middle of the "full of vitality" flower garden, either bending down to pick flowers, or bowing their heads to sniff lightly.
The bright sun in the afternoon is generously scattered in the courtyard that overturned the palette. Ji Xuanyi's long body is wrapped in a set of recognizable dark casual clothes. On the hand with clear phalanges? It is a bunch of freshly cut flowers.
He was the first among several people to notice that Su Jia was here.
He turned around with the bouquet in his hand, and the line of his pretty lips was slightly raised, showing off his face softly.
It's just that, like two acquaintances who have a shallow relationship, meeting and greeting each other in a normal way.
Unexpectedly, Su Jia couldn't help walking away for a moment.
Li Mengxin, who was nearby, followed Ji Xuanyi's strange behavior and gaze, and found Su Jia who was a door away.
She hastily handed over the bamboo basket with flowers to her mother, and ran towards her overjoyed: "Sister Su Jia."
Su Jia staggered her eyes from meeting with Ji Xuanyi's, and deftly pushed the courtyard door specially reserved for her.
Since she chose to continue tutoring Li Mengxin after she separated from him for the sake of the generous salary of the Li family, she should have expected that they would meet here one day.
Li Mengxin ran to him, took Su Jia's arm affectionately, and muttered: "Uncle Ji came here early in the morning today, and didn't take you with me. I thought you wouldn't come."
Su Jia scratched her bangs in embarrassment, and after greeting the Li family couple with a smile, she replied first, "Go upstairs."
They left quickly, and Ji Xuanyi didn't see any unnecessary reaction. His sparkling blue eyes were lowered again, looking at the graceful flowers, carefully selecting the next rose.
Li Mengxin is a big kid, so he was there right away? He noticed something was wrong when they met each other, and asked, "Did you quarrel with Uncle Ji?"
Both of them walked into the study room, closed the door, and Su Jiaru replied truthfully, "We split up."
"Ah?" Li Mengxin's eyes widened, "Did you dump him?"
Su Jia's tone was very light: "It seems to be."
Li Mengxin laughed happily and praised: "Sister Su Jia, you did a great job."
Su Jia didn't want to talk too much about this, so she reminded with a straight face, "It's time for class."
But Li Mengxin's temper is violent, and she loves to take a break in class. After doing a few questions, her thoughts turned to other places.
She shouted happily: "Sister Su Jia, your birthday is coming soon." They chatted before and mentioned this topic.
Su Jia kept silent for a while: "Almost? There is still a month left."
"It's almost there." Li Mengxin smiled, "Do you have a birthday present you want? I'll give it to you? You prepare it."
Su Jia has no feelings for birthdays, and she is entangled in trivial matters at home? She is the one who is ordered and ignored, and she has not spent a few birthdays steadily since she was a child.
When grandma was alive, she still remembered to cook a bowl of longevity noodles for her. Once grandma left, few people cared about her.
Su Jia replied nonchalantly: "Now? Seriously, break into the top 100 of your grade in the final exam, let me get the bonus from your parents, is the best gift?"
"Okay," Li Mengxin stuck out her tongue mischievously, lowered her head to brush up the questions, "I think for myself."
When they met unexpectedly at Li's house this time, Ji Xuanyi was more indifferent than when they were together before. During the two hours of tutoring, he didn't show up even once.
After the end, Su Jia went downstairs to bid farewell to the Li family. They didn't catch a glimpse of him in the living room and yard, thinking that he had already said goodbye.
Unexpectedly, I walked out of Li's house and entered the stone road leading to Ji Xuanyi's villa. I saw him waiting under a lush tree with colorful arms in his arms.
Su Jia chose to ignore it, and focused her eyes elsewhere, intending to bypass it directly.
Ji Xuanyi stepped towards the middle, and a tall and straight figure blocked her way.
Su Jia stopped quickly and said angrily, "Ji Xuanyi, we..."
"I know, we broke up."
Ji Xuanyi answered, and found her with downcast eyes, as if sunflowers were there all day long? Adjusting direction, looking for the unique sun.
Su Jia was slightly taken aback, this was the first time he had admitted this fact.
There was only one step between the two, and the gentle late spring warm wind caressed leisurely and contentedly.
In the wind, she smelled the light spray of perfume on his body, the familiar spicy sandalwood top note, but it became an extraordinary coda.
A ray of sweetness in it is about to blend with the delicate flower in his hand.
Ji Xuanyi said to himself, "You haven't found a boyfriend, and I don't have a girlfriend either."
Su Jia sniffed it curiously, and her fox eyes suddenly widened.
What he sprayed today should be "Jia Jing".
Named after her, the only "Jia Jing" she ever used.
Ji Xuanyi: "Since? If we are still single, I can chase you."
He used firm statements, mixed with a bit of consistent force, that could not be refuted by anyone.
Su Jia raised her eyes and stared at him without saying a word.
Ji Xuanyi pushed the packaged bouquet in his hand towards her: "I personally selected each flower, and I also learned the packaging from my sister-in-law. It's the first time I made it, and the appearance is average."
Su Jia had received flowers from him countless times, but this was the first time she saw him pick and pack them by himself.
But she didn't answer.
She saw her favorite cream sunflower mixed with yellow and white roses.
There is no such kind of flower in the Li family's yard, and it is likely that he specially asked someone to send it over.
Ji Xuanyi pushed the flowers forward again: "This? Secondary? It involves marriage."
Su Jia was startled, raised her head and asked in surprise, "What did you say?"
The continuous spring breeze blows the clouds and clouds in the sky, and the leaves on the tender green branches change from east to west, and the sunlight flowing through the gaps is dim and shadowy.
Everything in the world seems to be involved in a perpetual motion machine, and everything is constantly changing.
The constant pair of eyes that seem to be only a short distance away, in the extreme cold, stubbornly burst out with infinite enthusiasm and fiery dark blue eyes.
Ji Xuanyi looked at her without blinking for a moment, and the deep and moving voice mixed with the wind, mixed with soft light, mixed with all the pure nature in the world? Things that are not disturbed by external forces?, and presented them together:
"Jiajia, I want to start a new life with you and talk about a formal, long-term relationship that is based on marriage."
