As soon as Ji Luoqing finished dealing with the family affairs, he received a text message from Qin Shuyao, saying that he hoped that he would come out to meet her.
Even though he had told her that he would have an appointment later, Qin Shuyao still insisted on meeting her for ten minutes.
Unable to resist Qin Shuyao's pleading, Ji Luoqing agreed to the appointment with Yan Shiying.
As soon as he arrived near the destination, before Ji Luoqing saw Qin Shuyao, he saw a few boys surrounding a corner with obvious malicious intentions.
Qin Shuyao's angry question came from inside, Ji Luoqing hurried forward to rescue her.
As soon as she saw him appear, Qin Shuyao grabbed his arm in fear and hid behind him.
If Ji Luoqing wasn't face-blind, he would have recognized that these boys happened to be from the same group as those who bullied Qin Shuyao last time.
Seeing Ji Luoqing protecting her behind the boys without any fear, Qin Shuyao vaguely remembered the scene when she and him were protected by him when they first met, and sweetness filled her heart.
It's kind of mean, but it works really well.
After the boys left, Qin Shuyao let go of the hand on his arm, intentionally exposing the wound.
She repeated the old trick, pretending to be in pain like the last time, and whimpered in a low voice, but she didn't expect to hear Ji Luoqing say: "I remember there is an infirmary near here, can I trouble you to walk there later?"
His tone was polite and unfamiliar, Qin Shuyao was taken aback and raised his head.
"By the way, I don't know what you want from me today?" Ji Luoqing said, and looked at the phone again.
It was clearly the same scene as last time, but the people seemed to be different.
What step did she do wrong
Qin Shuyao was stunned, and under Ji Luoqing's repeated questioning eyes, he had no choice but to say the excuse he had prepared.
In fact, there was nothing wrong with it, she just wanted to find a chance to meet Ji Luoqing. It's been a long time since he came to see her, even though she asked him for an invitation over and over again, he still refused.
Today is her hope of betting on her last chance, but the result is very different from what she imagined.
Qin Shuyao took a look at the injury on his arm, it wasn't that deep, but it looked very embarrassing. The same wound brought him and her a long talk during the three-day trip last time, but today it only brought Ji Luoqing a quick glance.
Qin Shuyao couldn't help biting her lip.
Ji Luoqing confirmed to her again, "Can you go to the infirmary by yourself?"
He seemed eager to leave immediately.
Qin Shuyao forced a smile, "It's okay, I can do it myself."
As soon as the words were finished, Ji Luoqing nodded politely at her, turned around and left in a hurry.
It seemed that he would save anyone here who was being bullied, not because she was Qin Shuyao, nor would he look at her differently because of her weakness.
Even if she was standing right in front of him, his whole mind seemed to have been placed on another person far away, and he could no longer tolerate anyone other than her, and he would not give anyone another chance.
The light in Qin Shuyao's eyes gradually went out.
This time, she finally knew that she was hopeless.
After Ji Luoqing and Qin Shuyao parted, they hurried to the place they had agreed with Yan Shiying.
It's not time yet, but the sky is still dark.
Vendors in the surrounding night market set up their stalls one after another, and various scents wafted out in the evening wind, and the exaggerated signboards appeared colorful in the night.
From a distance, Ji Luoqing saw Yan Shiying walking from the end of the long street.
A smile suddenly appeared on his face, and just as he raised his hand to wave at her, he saw a man with a tall and straight figure like a green cypress following her.
Xia Fanyi.
Xia Fanyi also saw Ji Luoqing, worried about Yan Shiying beside him, and nodded to Ji Luoqing with a faint smile, as a greeting.
Thinking that he himself agreed to be a shield between Yan Shiying and Ji Luoqing, Xia Fanyi regretted why he agreed to help her chase Ji Luoqing.
Seeing Yan Shiying smiling like a flower at Ji Luoqing, Xia Fanyi's heart throbbed uncontrollably.
Looking at Ji Luoqing again, he also seemed to be a little stiff when he saw him appear. As soon as he walked in front of Yan Shiying, he asked her in surprise, "How could Xia Fanyi...?"
Xia Fanyi spat hard in his heart, did he think he really wanted to come? ! It's not for Yan Shiying!
But there was an impeccable smile on his face, "Stop by and help Yan Shiying choose a gift."
Ji Luoqing was a little puzzled, "A gift...?"
"I heard that your birthday seems to be coming soon..."
Watching Yan Shiying start talking to Ji Luoqing with a smile on his face, the two walked forward side by side without anyone noticing him behind him, Xia Fanyi felt that his breath was almost stuck in his chest.
With a wry smile silently, Xia Fanyi followed behind the two of them.
He didn't go to see Ji Luoqing, because the smile on his face made him feel dazzling just by looking at it.
But when his eyes fell on Yan Shiying, Xia Fanyi felt a slight sweetness in his loneliness.
It seemed that just following her and breathing the air she had breathed filled his heart with indescribable satisfaction.
This street is very long, decorated with lights and colorful lights at night, there are all kinds of vendors and shops, and the aroma of food is wafting from the people coming and going.
Ji Luoqing and Yan Shiying walked side by side, except for the slight surprise when he saw Xia Fanyi at first, he soon accepted the fact that the three of them were traveling together.
He has long been used to the situation that she is always surrounded by other people.
Ever since he crossed the line of defense in his heart to kiss her that night, he has decided that as long as she doesn't abandon him, as long as he still has a place with her, no matter how painful it is to endure this situation, he will not leave her .
He doesn't use despicable means to eradicate others like Yue Xiuning, he will wait where she can see him as soon as she raises her eyes, he will be very patient, one day, she will really see him.
He is not greedy, even if he can't really own her, even if she can't see him all the time, as long as he can stay by her side, he is willing to watch her with others.
Ji Luoqing didn't say what birthday gift she wanted, because he said that he would be very happy no matter what she gave her.
A few people chatted and walked into a jewelry store, Yan Shiying glanced casually, and saw a men's ring with a unique style at a glance.
It's unique, because the design style of that ring is very similar to the bracelet Ji Luoqing is wearing, so it's not bad to use it to make a set.
The clerk approached her cleverly, looked at her and Ji Luoqing and said, "What kind of ring do you want to choose for your husband?"
As soon as the words fell, Ji Luoqing was stunned for a moment, and then the tips of his ears turned red.
Before Yan Shiying could speak, Xia Fanyi stepped in between the two of them, and asked Yan Shiying with a smile, "Which one do you like?"
Only then did the clerk realize that he had said something wrong, but the clerk had a strong mentality and said without changing his face: "Which one does this gentleman want to buy for his wife? Let me recommend these, all of which are the most famous ones in our store." Several series."
Ji Luoqing: "..."
Xia Fanyi: What to do, it's cool.
Yan Shiying smiled, and didn't intend to embarrass the clerk, "Take out this ring and show me."
She called Ji Luoqing, held up his hand and put it on him.
Fits very well, but the finger size of the sleeve is not suitable.
Under the gaze of the two of them, she greeted the clerk, "Measure him."
The clerk directed Ji Luoqing to another counter.
As soon as Ji Luoqing left, Xia Fanyi changed his face and pulled her over, "Why did you just put it on for him? Aren't I next to you?"
He lowered his voice obscurely, "Can't you let me help..."
The moment Yan Shiying lifted Ji Luoqing's hand just now, even though he knew she was just trying on the ring for him, his heartbeat still stopped for a moment uncontrollably.
Suddenly he understood that from the very beginning when he said he wanted to be friends with her, it was a vicious circle.
Because they are friends, she can laugh and laugh with others unscrupulously, even if it is physical contact, she doesn't have to care about him.
Because they are friends, even if she sees that she is moved by Ji Luoqing and humbled because she likes him, she can only pretend to be patient.
She wouldn't know how much he cared, wouldn't know how painful he was, and he couldn't tell her.
Seeing his expression, Yan Shiying froze for a moment, then smiled.
"What's your expression? Hahaha, Xia Fanyi, are you jealous?"
When she said this jokingly, Xia Fanyi felt his heart shake heavily, and his long eyelashes trembled silently.
That's right, he was jealous, even such an insignificant little action, he cared terribly.
Xia Fanyi's face darkened and he didn't speak.
Yan Shiying said nonchalantly again: "Don't worry, I know you like Yaoyao, I was just joking with you just now."
No, he likes her.
Xia Fanyi's lips moved slightly, and finally began to regret how he made his love for Qin Shuyao public in a big way, and even used her as Qin Shuyao's experiment, so that no matter what he did now, he was called "" "Qin Shuyao" was far away, unable to advance further.
At this stall, Ji Luoqing came back.
Yan Shiying turned around immediately, "How is it? Do you like it?"
Ji Luoqing nodded, glanced at Xia Fanyi behind her, and seemed to hesitate to speak.
Yan Shiying asked the clerk to pack the ring. While waiting for the clerk to pack it, she coughed and said, "Suddenly I really want to drink milk tea."
She looked at Xia Fanyi with a smile.
Xia Fanyi immediately understood that it was his turn to play this assist again.
Concealing the bitterness in his heart, Xia Fanyi took the initiative to say, "I'll go buy it." He glanced at Ji Luoqing, "Let's chat."
Said and walked out of the shop.
After Xia Fanyi left, Ji Luoqing breathed a sigh of relief, and took out the hand that had been hidden behind his back.
I saw a delicate female ring shining brightly on his hand.
Ji Luoqing held up his glasses at a loss, with a hesitant expression, "I thought of you just now when I saw this ring, I want to give it to you... is that okay?"
He seemed to have mustered up a lot of courage when he said the simple words, and almost wrote the uneasiness that she was afraid of rejection on his face, and his eyes looked at her like a small animal, looking...
Very bullying look.
Yan Shiying casually raised her lips, raised her eyebrows and smiled at him, "Kiss me once and I'll agree."
Ji Luoqing was taken aback, "... what?"
"Forget it." Yan Shiying made a gesture to turn around, but was immediately pulled back by Ji Luoqing.
The roots of his ears turned red slowly, and he looked around carefully, then leaned down with a blushing face, held his breath, and quickly pecked her lips.
"Yes, is it possible?"
The pupils of the clerk in the corner trembled, oh my god, no wonder she was slapped in the face, this young lady knows how to play.
