When he was a child, Qi Nian was criticized the most for being too lazy and unwilling to use his brains.
Qi's father once threatened her: "If you don't think actively now, one day, your brain will rust."
Holding a lollipop bigger than her face, Qi Nian widened her eyes in horror, and asked childishly, "Is it like being covered in rust?"
Father Qi crossed Erlang's legs, and was quite proud of his success in intimidating his young daughter, "Yes, your head covered in rust will be blank and unable to think, you can no longer think about complicated problems, and you can't do it for the people around you. respond."
Qi Nian thought that her current situation was probably what Qi's father said - her brain was rusted.
My mind was blank, unable to think or respond.
Just instinctively, breathe hard.
Out of the corner of his eyes, he could feel his gaze, which stayed on her cheek for a moment, like a pair of gentle hands, gently brushing her cheek.
Warm and soft.
By the end, Qi Nian had even forgotten to breathe.
All attention was focused on Ji Yanxin.
In such silence, Ji Yanxin pondered for a moment, which was considered a supplement and an explanation, and told her: "I can't tell you more about other things for the time being. If you are interested, I don't mind you finding out slowly. These are responses to your stay in Dongli. What the top of the mountain said to me."
Qi Nian stared blankly at the red fingers she had ravaged, not quite understanding, "When you talked to Ji Qiu that night, did you know that I was awake?"
Ji Yanxin stopped playing with his phone and immediately remembered, "I didn't know when I was talking, but I knew it the next day."
With her awkward attitude, it was difficult for him to pretend he didn't know.
Qi Nian said "Oh", not knowing what to say, so he blushed and continued to play with his fingers.
She only understood that what he and Ji Qiu said that night were not meant to be told to her. It would make her feel more sad than rejecting her directly.
But luckily, not.
In fact, considering Qi Nian's comprehension and IQ, Ji Yanxin also prepared some words.
But when she turned her head and saw her blushing neck, she suddenly wanted to laugh.
She is easily shy and timid. Every time she is the one who initiates the trouble, the person who cleans it up in the end always somehow becomes him.
But it was such a mimosa that would shrink at the touch of a tree that had stood so bravely in front of him.
in a thousand ways.
Whether she understood it or not, those words seemed unnecessary to say.
He unlocked the lock and returned the phone to her, "You can discuss with her about giving Ji Qiu a lesson."
Qi Nian stared at the hand that suddenly appeared in her field of vision, reached out to take it, and nodded solemnly, "Then I... go back first."
Ji Yanxin didn't say a word, and nodded almost imperceptibly.
Qi Nian always remembered what he said just now, "Don't turn your head, don't look at me, just listen to what I say next," and really honestly did not dare to break the precepts.
After Yu Guang received his message, he pushed open the car door without turning his head.
As soon as he stepped out, he was stopped by a clear voice: "Qi Nian."
Qi Nian looked back.
Ji Yanxin was actually laughing, holding his forehead, a little helpless, and a little indulgent, "You can work hard, do you hear?" Qi Nian looked at him stupidly, not knowing what he meant for a while.
effort
what effort
Strive for what
Ji Yanxin didn't answer anymore, closed his eyes and waved his hand.
As soon as Liu Xia returned to J City, the communication with Qi Nian turned into a video chat again.
This model seems to have started from Qi Nian's second year of going to college in J Province. He couldn't accompany him nearby. No matter whether he had a chat or not, when he returned to the dormitory, he would turn on the computer and invite a video.
Later, Li Yue became jealous, thinking that Qi Nian was always occupying Liu Xia's time.
Qi Nian's video was fixed before the exam, so it was not a problem to receive and deliver the video.
So, when Liu Xia put his entire face on the camera in shock, Qi Nian stepped back subconsciously, with lingering fears, "What, what's wrong?"
"Mr. Ji, did he really say that?"
Qi Nian nodded, blushing slightly, "I think he is implying that I continue to work hard to chase him..."
Liu Xia seemed to have just calmed down, sat back in the chair, and replied with a look of horror: "The most terrible thing is that I feel the same way."
Qi Nian: "..."
Thus, an urgent group meeting inevitably unfolded.
Liu Xia served as a military counselor, but this position was taken with sincerity... Since she was a child, she had never liked any other man except Li Yue. She fell in love with the male god several times in elementary school, and was ruthlessly pinched by Li Yue. Extinguish clean.
In addition, the two of them are childhood sweethearts, and they will naturally be together after they communicate with each other.
What about technical guidance
Liu Xia pressed the pen cap to his forehead in difficulty, and sighed: "Actually, I think that at this point, it doesn't matter which plan is, the important thing is that Teacher Ji is already tempted, you can play it as you like."
Qi Nianzheng painted a sketch of her and Qibao squatting by the flower bed with big eyes and small eyes, and took time to glance at Liu Xia, who frowned and muttered in the video. If the free play fails at this stage, I have an ultimate move for you."
Qi Nian blinked curiously and asked, "What's the big move?"
Liu Xia laughed twice, "Climb up on Teacher Ji's bed and cook the raw rice!"
Qi Nian was silent.
It's really... good move...
She lowered her head and continued to outline.
There was Liu Xia's clear voice in her ears, complaining that the house in J City was too small, and she couldn't stretch her fists at all; she also complained that the winter in J City was too cold, and there was no stove at home, except for wrapping herself into a bloated bear. There is no other way; J City's home is too far from the city center, and there are no entertainment facilities around, she has become the kind of person she hates the most, and spends all day chasing Korean dramas under the covers; Li Yue can't be seen here, nor can I see her. In Qi Nian, she was so bored that she almost turned into a moldy mushroom squatting in the corner...
Qi Nian slowly raised the corners of his lips.
She understood her complaints and her gratitude to her grandmother for being alive.
After finishing the painting, Qi Nian read it again from beginning to end.
When his eyes fell on the three words "emotional history", he suddenly recalled that Ji Yanxin had mentioned in the car that he had an unfinished emotional experience.
Qi Nian was stunned for a while, and then he violently abused Liu Xia, "I almost forgot to ask you, do you know about Teacher Ji's previous relationship experience?"
Liu Xia was so sleepy that he yawned. Hearing the words, he answered indifferently, "A 28-year-old high-quality elite, do you still think that he has no emotional experience? It is good to have experience. It can prove that Professor Ji is a 'Gao Ling' Although the flower is noble and arrogant, it has flesh and blood after all."
"I don't mind... I'm just curious."
"I guess his relationship is in the United States. If I hadn't heard about it from you today, I wouldn't have known it at all. Anyone who's okay, they should bring their girlfriends in advance. Don't think about the past, I really want to know..." Liu Xia paused, Sold out.
Qi Nian's eyes were about to stare, and he threatened her: "Hurry up, don't tell me I won't let my mother pickle canned food for you."
"Okay, okay." Liu Xia compromised. "If you really want to know, take down Teacher Ji and ask him yourself... Is it right? If you don't answer well, you can even punish him for sleeping in the study. How wonderful!"
In response to her, Qi Nian mercilessly unplugged the power of the computer.
Sleeping in the study room or something... such a nonsense!
Qi Nian blushed silently.
Since he was going to teach Ji Qiu a lesson, it was definitely not acceptable to fool around.
Qi Nian spent two days at home, watched the video, and communicated and learned with experienced painter friends. He was well prepared.
At two o'clock in the afternoon on Monday, Qi Nian arrived at Ji Yanxin's apartment on time.
It was still Ji Qiu who came to open the door, and Qibao greeted him.
"My brother was invited by Shao Zui to play ball, and he's not at home." Ji Qiu stuck out his tongue and laughed a little mischievously, "Wait for me for ten minutes, I'll go clean up the mess in the guest room first."
The air conditioner should be on, and the room is a little hot.
Qi Nian put down his backpack, took off his coat, and hung it on the hanger at the entrance.
Qibao hadn't seen her for a few days, so he followed her footsteps, occasionally scratching the ground with his claws, and wagging his tail.
As soon as she stopped, Qibao leaped into her arms, her claws were firmly placed on her arms, and she leaned over to sniff.
"I brought you chicken breast, you come down first." Qi Nian squeezed its meat pad and discussed it.
In the next second, as if he understood, he jumped to Qi Nian's side, landed steadily, squatted on the floor obediently, wagged his tail and waited for feeding.
Qi Nian specially brought it a carton of chicken breasts, fed half of it, kept half of it, sealed the box and put it on the table.
Ji Qiu had just packed up, stuck out half of his head, and beckoned to her, "Sister Qi, come in."
Qi Nian responded and walked in with his bag.
Ji Qiu was standing by the door, and when she came in, she introduced, "I'll sleep here, my cousin's bedroom is next door." When the words were finished, she muttered again, "If it wasn't for my cousin who is as strong as Qibao territorial awareness, I will take you to visit."
This is the first time that Qi Nian has heard such a metaphor, and he can't help but wonder, "Awareness of territory?"
"Well, my brother doesn't like people entering his room, and neither do I." Ji Qiu pouted and sat down at the desk, "Let's start?"
As soon as the voice fell, the door was tapped.
Qi Nian was stunned, and asked silently with his eyes: "Is your brother back?"
Ji Qiu shook his head and replied helplessly, "It's Qibao..."
As if to make Ji Qiu's words more credible, Qibao raised his paw and patted it again.
Qi Nian asked, "Is it always like this?"
Ji Qiu continued to shake his head and said, "When my brother is at home, he doesn't dare, bullies the soft and fears the hard..."
Qi Nian smiled and said nothing, but she agreed in her heart: This dog has always bullied her.
With that in mind, she walked to the door to open it.
As soon as the door opened a crack, Qibao stretched out his claws and pushed the carton containing chicken breasts through the crack of the door.
Qi Nian opened the door in surprise, "Qibao, what do you want to tell me?"
Qibao shook his ears, pushed the paper box in front of her again, grinned, and looked at her brightly.
The door of the study slammed shut with a soft sound.
Qi Nian looked up.
I saw Ji Yanxin leaning against the door, translating in a lazy tone: "It wants you to feed it."
That sound, as if being blown by the wind, also carried the warmth of the outside.
In the spacious basketball court, the sound of basketball landing is clear and rhythmic.
Shao Zui passed under the basket with the ball, flipped his wrist, and threw the basketball in his hand to Ji Yanxin, who was standing outside the three-point line, apparently absent-minded.
Ji Yanxin caught it, relieved a little, jumped up slightly, and raised his wrist.
With a thud—
After the ball and the backboard are in close contact, they fall into the basket and land firmly.
Shao Zui squinted his eyes, "The charm has not diminished back then."
Ji Yanxin smiled lazily, raised his wrist to look at the time, raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "The ball is considered to be with me, can I go back?"
Hearing this, Shao Zuiqiu didn't pick it up anymore. He picked up the mineral water on the bench and took a few sips, and asked him lightly, "Is there something urgent?"
Ji Yanxin was noncommittal, "It's not in a hurry either."
"Okay." Shao Zui waved his hand with disgust on his face, "If Ji Qiu hadn't said that you were staying at home recently, I wouldn't have liked to drag you out."
"Ji Qiu?" Ji Yanxin picked up the jacket's hand for a while, then turned to stare at him, his tone dangerous, "When did you get along so well with my cousin?"
Shao Zui: "…"
Returning home from the basketball court, Ji Yanxin opened the door and entered the house.
Unexpectedly, the living room was surprisingly quiet.
He glanced around the living room, bent over to change his shoes, and when he lowered his head, he found a pair of black martin boots in the shoe cabinet, neatly and properly placed in the corner.
Ji Yanxin changed his shoes as usual.
Standing for a moment at the junction of the entrance and living room, I went around to the kitchen to get a drink.
I opened the refrigerator and glanced at it, and took a bottle of Red Bull.
The tin can was cold to the touch, but he didn't seem to notice it.
When he was about to go to the study, he inadvertently swept across Qibao lying on the blanket between the sofa and the table, trying to avoid his sight.
Ji Yanxin raised his brows and approached while holding the can.
Qibao was still pressing the pink cardboard box under his claws. Seeing that the stealing deeds were revealed, his head shrank, and he shoved his head on the table a few times.
Ji Yanxin has been training Qibao to refuse to eat, refusing to eat any food without his approval.
Although the result has not been ideal, at least it will not appear... Now this uncontrollable situation - stealing.
Ji Yanxin put the tin can on the table, picked up the cardboard box and glanced at it.
pink carton...
Here, only Qi Nian likes this kind of color and has this kind of... dreamy aesthetic.
On the cardboard box are Qibao's saliva and bite marks.
But apparently, it hasn't found a way to open the carton, or, in other words, hasn't had enough time for it to commit crimes...
Ji Yanxin pressed his eyebrows with some headache.
From the underground parking lot of the terminal building, it has shown extraordinary curiosity and enthusiasm for everything about Qi Nian.
A pack of dog food…
Also a profit.
He opened his eyes and saw that it was a handmade chicken breast. He glanced at Qibao, who didn't even dare to move his tail. He lowered his voice and commanded in a deep voice, "Come out."
Qibao swept his tail and buried his head even deeper.
"One last time."
Qibao immediately took a few steps backwards, stuck his head out and looked at him, his head fell to the ground, but his eyes were fixed on him, probably sensing his displeasure.
Ji Yanxin was silent.
Qibao went even further, stood up, raised his paws on his wrist, and watched gently.
again...
Ji Yanxin closed his eyes, punitively tapped a cardboard box on its head, and told it solemnly, "You can't steal it without permission, otherwise, you'll have to sleep on the balcony this week."
After thinking about it, he felt that such a warning was not severe enough, Ji Yanxin immediately added: "All snacks are reduced."
Qibao naturally couldn't understand it, but he could distinguish Ji Yanxin's tone, and he could observe his words and expressions.
Knowing that this is not allowed by Ji Yanxin.
I also understood the sentence added by Ji Yanxin. When he made mistakes before, he was often punished like this.
As a result, the whole dog suddenly disappeared, made a grievance "woo", and lay down on the carpet in a grievance.
After packing Qibao, Ji Yanxin picked up the tin can and drank as he walked.
As soon as he entered the study, he heard a slight rustling behind him.
Ji Yanxin held the doorknob for a while, then turned to look.
At some point, Qibao squatted at the door of the guest room with a cardboard box in his mouth, his furry head shining brightly in the sunlight.
It listened carefully to what was going on inside for a while, and then...
He raised his paw and tapped the door.
… learned to move rescue soldiers.
Ji Yanxin caressed his forehead.
Qi Nian stood at the door of the study, hesitated for a while, then raised his hand and knocked gently on the door twice.
Two hours ago, after Ji Yanxin took the dishonest Qibao out of the guest room, he left a blank expression: "Come and find me in the study when it's over."
Didn't explain anything, didn't leave any message.
But that look on his face... It's really not good.
Qi Nianzheng was apprehensive when he heard his cold voice coming from the door: "Come in."
Ji Yanxin was lying on the reclining chair reading a book, his long legs overlapped, and he was bathed in the sun. The whole figure seemed to have been washed away by the golden light, gentle and warm.
Hearing footsteps coming in, he turned a page in time and reminded her, "Close the door."
Qi Nian slightly said "Oh" crampedly, turned around, and closed the door gently.
After a soft sound, Qi Nian stared at the door, a little dazed.
The last time... what happened in the study suddenly jumped up, she blushed suddenly, and whispered several times with her head against the door: "Calm down, calm down..."
Ji Yanxin didn't hear any movement for a long time, and frowned slightly.
Why, since the last time we talked, the little girl... has turned away from him
Could it be that there was a mistake in the last expression
still…
He sat up, tucked his fingers between the pages, stroked the spine with one hand, and turned to look at her.
When Qi Nian heard the sound of him getting up, she immediately turned around and stood up, but the heat on her face couldn't go down for a while, and it was still red, making her dizzy and unable to think again.
She lowered her head, Ji Yanxin couldn't see her face clearly, and pondered, "Can you hear me so far away from me?"
His original intention was to ask her to come forward, but unexpectedly...
Qi Nian, the elm head, stammered and replied, "Yes, I can hear... I can hear it clearly."
Ji Yanxin pursed his lips slightly and narrowed his beautiful eyes.
The temperature of the whole body dropped suddenly, and Qi Nian realized what he meant later, and his face became hot again, "I, I have to go home, what's the matter with you, Teacher Ji?"
Ji Yanxin stared at her with deep and deep eyes for a long time, and then calmly retracted his gaze, with a normal tone: "Tell you about Qibao."
Seven treasures
Qi Nian was suspicious for a moment, realizing that he was serious about having a talk with her, he immediately restrained his thoughts and looked serious.
Without selling anything, Ji Yanxin said straight to the point: "I have been training Qibao to refuse to eat. First, I have to eat food at the terminal, and then I have stomach discomfort and let you take care of it for a few days. The results have not been very satisfactory."
Qi Nian was stunned, his dark eyes looked at him without blinking, and he felt like he was about to cry.
Ji Yanxin was stared at by her eyes, and when he spoke again without realizing it, his voice was much softer: "Qibao is very special, so don't feed it casually in the future."
Qi Nian missed the point: "It's very special?"
Ji Yanxin put the book on the low cabinet next to him and said, "I adopted Qibao from the veterinary hospital. A year ago, when I first moved here."
After a pause, Ji Yanxin seemed to consider it, and tried to tell her in plain language: "Qibao lost his original owner when he was a year old, and the volunteers at the shelter found the adopter the next day. There is no experience, no verification of the real information of the adopter, and no timely return visit. The day after Qibao was adopted, it was coaxed away by the adopter's friends with food and brought home as a blood dog in the pet hospital he ran. Seven months later, it was discovered that something was wrong. The volunteers who raided found that when they found Qibao, they were already dying, and they were sent back to Dr. Wan for treatment."
His tone was light and slow, but the content of what he said made Qi Nian's heart tremble.
She opened her mouth, and it took a while before she made a sound, which was inaudible: "What blood dog?"
Ji Yanxin moved his lips, his tone slightly cool: "Living blood bank."
Qi Nian stared at him blankly, unable to react.
Living blood bank…
It was time to be sent to the veterinary hospital for treatment, the situation was unknown, and she could guess.
A living blood bank has almost no other function except for uncontrolled blood donation, no one will cherish it, no one will feel bad for it, it is left in a corner and will fend for itself.
Time and time again, the skin was punctured by cold needles, and its blood was endlessly demanded again and again.
During those seven months, how difficult and desperate was Qibao's life
But even if it was hurt like this, it still did not resist with its sharp teeth. If it wasn't for the volunteer's return visit, would it have to suffer silently until the last moment of its life
"I'm not a caring person." Ji Yanxin stood up.
The last ray of sunlight sank into the horizon, and the whole sky became a magnificent golden color.
With his back to the light, he couldn't see his expression clearly, but those bright black eyes locked her firmly, "But when you bring it back, you are ready to be responsible for it for the rest of your life."
"So... want it to learn to refuse food and learn to be vigilant against strangers?" She couldn't imagine that Qibao, who is so well-behaved now, had experienced these things before...
Qi Nian looked at him with a bit of difficulty, and asked sternly, "So it's called Qibao because of those seven months?"
There was a trembling and sadness in her voice.
Ji Yanxin frowned.
When Qi Nian noticed that a shadow was coming, Ji Yanxin didn't know when he had walked in front of her.
Just a step away, he lowered his head and raised his hand to cover her eyes as he did last time when she was not allowed to turn her head to look at him in the car.
The warm palms covered her eyes, blocking all her sight.
He sighed and said helplessly, "I'm not telling you this to make you sad."
Qi Nian's eyelashes were wet, his teeth bit his lower lip, and he didn't say a word.
The moist palm of his hand made him realize that he lowered his head and looked at her without any scruples, his other hand slipped down the bridge of her nose, squeezed her chin slightly, and loosened the lip bitten by her.
He tilted his head, leaned closer to her ear, and said softly, "I have to listen to this matter, eh?"
How dare Qi Nian refute it.
That tactful and charming ending made her whole heart soften, and all the blood seemed to rush to the top of her head at this moment.
The temperature of his fingertips was vaguely left on the bridge of his nose that he had scratched with his fingertips, which made her numb for a while, and her hands and feet couldn't help shaking.
The tempting voice echoed in her ears over and over again, making her fall down every step of the way, her ears softened, almost fascinated by such gentleness and coaxing.
He did it on purpose...
She knew that her self-control would completely collapse when she met him, but she still deliberately teased her.
If it wasn't for the only trace of clarity in her mind supporting her, at this time, Qi Nian might not be able to help but flee again.
Beauty is misleading... so misleading!
But even so, she still nodded uncontrollably, as if bewitched, and softly agreed: "Okay."
Listen to you... all listen to you.
Ji Yanxin looked at Qi Nian instantly red, and suddenly had a bad idea of making fun of her.
The hand covering her eyes did not move, the fingers holding her chin loosened, and the fingers landed on her bright red lips lightly.
Hearing her take a breath of cold air, he smiled, his deep eyes filled with softness, "Afraid?"
Qi Nian shook his head.
But he blocked her sight, and in the pitch-dark field of vision, she was terrified, like a lost child.
She subconsciously wanted to bite her lower lip to relieve the tension, but accidentally bit his finger.
Qi Nian was startled and quickly let go, "Mr. Ji, Teacher Ji?"
Ji Yanxin locked her lips with a heavy look, and when he opened his mouth, there was a hoarseness in his voice that he didn't even notice: "Did you hear what I said to you in the car that day?"
Qi Nian was startled for a moment, trying to think back.
When she was uneasy, her eyelashes blinked, and the soft eyelashes brushed repeatedly on his palm, itching slightly.
Ji Yanxin suddenly took another step closer, and the body that was already very close could be touched with a single movement.
Qi Nian can't see anything, but her senses are very clear in such a highly tense environment. She carefully panted, trying to control her emotions...
Can't bite his lower lip, he'll bite his fingers... and don't blink, he'll be impatient...
She nodded vaguely, speaking like she had sugar in her mouth, muttering indistinctly: "Listen."
"You didn't understand that?" Ji Yanxin asked.
He let go of the fingers on her lips, and even put down the hand covering her eyes.
Qi Nian closed his eyes tightly and didn't dare to look at him at all, "I understand..."
He relented, willing to let her step into his territory to win him over. He also allowed Qi Nian to continue to work hard to shake his rock-solid heart.
Even, he is a little bit... like her.
This is what Qi Nian understands.
But that's not enough.
Before, she was so brave because she wanted to attract his attention and let him know that there was such a girl who was pursuing him, so she put everything aside, desperately.
But now he has given permission and condoned it, but Qi Nian is afraid...
She didn't know the bottom line and reason for his permission, for fear that she would not be able to grasp this standard and strike out this difficult situation.
Ji Yanxin saw her eyes closed tightly, and pulled the corner of his mouth, "Watch me answer."
Qi Nian said "Oh", hesitated, opened his eyes and looked at him.
In the twilight, his eyes were deep and gloomy, as if frosty flowers were flowing, gathering a large amount of brilliance.
Qi Nian's heartbeat suddenly slowed down, and she lowered her head in a panic.
At the same time, Ji Yanxin's low voice sounded, calm and calm: "But you don't seem to have any sign of it at all."
Qi Nian let out a "hey", somewhat surprised.
This is... wanting to make her say something? Ji Yanxin is... expecting
She couldn't help blushing again, her breathing was a little hot, she closed her eyes, she replied in a low voice and shy: "Yes..."
Ji Yanxin raised his eyebrows slightly and waited patiently for her to continue.
"I..." Qi Nian became quiet, his voice even weaker, "I didn't fall asleep all night..."
She lowered her head and pointed her fingers nervously.
So that he couldn't see it, Ji Yanxin tilted his head slightly and curled the corners of his lips.
"You're reasoning with me..." Qi Nian muttered, "I'm too embarrassed to go further."
"Because I was unreasonable in the past?" Ji Yanxin asked rhetorically.
His tone was so calm that he couldn't detect his anger and anger, and Qi Nian didn't know what he meant by this question.
Before he finished speaking, he heard a low smile.
Ji Yanxin's hand caressed the back of her neck, lowered his head slightly, and did not make any further movement—
There were two knocks on the door.
Ji Qiu opened the door and broke into half of his head, and his crisp voice completely tore apart the ambiguous atmosphere in the study: "Sister Qi, stay here tonight..." Do you want to eat
Before the words were finished, they were already stuck in his throat, and he could no longer utter a word.
Ji Qiu blinked and stared at the extremely ambiguous posture of the two at the moment.
Thankfully, she was so anxious outside that she did not hesitate to break into the door to spy on the military situation, for fear that the uninformed cousin would say something to embarrass Qi Nian...
Dare she is worried for nothing...
This progress... ok!
She was in a trance when she received a chilling glance from Ji Yanxin, her back froze, and her reason returned immediately.
Ji Qiu hurriedly took a few steps back, slammed the door hard, turned around and ran two steps in a guilty conscience, then turned back and explained, "I'm sorry, I don't know about you...you..."
what are you...
Ji Qiu rolled his eyes and wiped the tip of his nose in cold sweat, "I won't dare next time, sorry, sorry."
When the words fell, she immediately went back to her room, picked up her mobile phone and sent a WeChat message to Shao Zui: "Shao Zui, are you missing someone for dinner tonight?"
After a few seconds.
Shao Zui replied: "Tell me, what happened again?"
in the study.
Qi Nian was so embarrassed that she wanted to be an ostrich, so she buried herself in the sand pit.
She couldn't stay for a minute, raised her hands to cover her face, and looked at him with only a pair of dark eyes, "Then... Mr. Ji, if I have nothing else, can I go first?"
Ji Yanxin calmly retracted his hand and took a few steps back when Ji Qiu closed the door.
Expecting this kind of reaction from her, he walked to the hanger a few steps and took off his coat, "Well, I'll take it off for you."
Qi Nian shook his head and insisted, "No, I'll stay with you for a while... I'm really going to explode and die, I'll just go back by myself..."
When the words fell, she turned around and left with hurried steps.
Ji Yanxin looked at her hasty back, and squeezed his brows speechlessly.
Blast to death
A graduate student majoring in language, just using words indiscriminately
It wasn't until he got into the subway that Qi Nian's heart that had been beating in a panic did not calm down.
During the rush hour after get off work, the subway is crowded with no gaps.
Qi Nian can get off the bus after only one stop. After getting on the bus, he did not squeeze in, but stood in front of the door and grabbed the handrail. In the dark tunnel, the subway passes through a series of advertising spaces and sinks into the darkness. In the unclear reflection, I could vaguely see a girl with a blushing face, the shyness in her eyes did not fade away, and there was a wave of moving water light.
fifteen minutes later.
Seven Cubs: How can I break the rippling spring heart on my face
Tsundere Fanchy: Second praise!
Strange Beast's Woolen Ball: If I remember correctly, today is the first day that Da Da went to the male god's house to teach Miss Qiu? So, what happened to you being a male god? Straight face.
Eggy loves to sleep zZ: I guess I'm either touching the little hand of the male god or watching the beautiful man take a bath. Are you really worthy of me, who has been worrying about me since last night

Liu Xia's comments on Weibo were extremely enjoyable, and the laughter was still magical across the screen.
Li Yue smiled helplessly and reminded: "Be quiet at Grandma's place."
"Oh." Liu Xia just remembered, wiping her tears and looking back at her grandma, who was sleeping peacefully, "Qi Nian's Weibo comments are always wonderful."
Li Yue gave a perfunctory "um", remembered something, and asked, "I'll be coming to J City in a few days. Do I need to bring anything?"
Liu Xia suppressed a smile and thought for a while, "Yes, my aunt has marinated a few cans for me. Can you go to Qi Nian's place to get it before you come?"
When the words fell, she sighed and complained softly: "Grandma is sick, you know my mother's craftsmanship... I haven't eaten a meal that suits my appetite for a week, you have to hurry up and feed me I."
Li Yue laughed a few times and agreed.
After a long time, he tapped his fingers on the keyboard and said sternly: "Liu Xia, this time, I will propose to you?"
Liu Xia was stunned for a moment, but his mind didn't turn around for a while, "Are you going to propose to me with a few cans from Auntie?"
Qi Nian's forehead rested on the keyboard, almost breathless with laughter. When he raised his head, a faint mark was pressed on his forehead.
"What did Li Yue say later?"
Liu Xia pouted, funny and angry, "He didn't say anything, just blocked me, and now he didn't let me out of the small dark room."
Before Qi Nian expressed his approval, Liu Xia simply added: "Who asked him to notify me before proposing... Shouldn't he arrange this kind of thing himself and give me a surprise?"
Twenty years of childhood sweethearts, the familiarity with each other has been deeply rooted... It seems that Li Yue can't be blamed for this kind of thing
As he was enjoying himself, the computer made a noise of current fluctuations.
Qi Nian looked down at his phone.
The next second, the phone screen lit up, and the caller ID "Ji Yanxin" appeared.
Qi Nian was stunned until Liu Xia asked her, "Why didn't you answer the phone?"
Only then did she put her finger on her lips and hush, "Mr. Ji's."
Liu Xia understood and immediately became quiet, but his ears were quietly pricked up, eager to stick to the sound.
Qi Nian turned his back unconsciously, facing the video, "Mr. Ji?"
There was the sound of pouring water from the other end, and the sound of water was particularly clear at both ends of the silent communicator, but as soon as Ji Yanxin spoke, his low and slow voice suppressed all the sounds around him: "It's me."
Listening to the low and magnetic male voice, Qi Nian swallowed unconsciously, his throat was dry, "I-I know."
Ji Yanxin was silent for a moment, then asked her, "Can you contact Ji Qiu now?"
Qi Nian became nervous, "What's wrong with Ji Qiu?"
"It's okay." Ji Yanxin sipped his warm tea, lowered his eyes and glanced at Qibao, who was eagerly trying to pounce on him. With just a cold look, he let him die and lie on the ground obediently.
He picked up the cup, walked to the living room and sat down, explaining slowly, "Because he broke into my study at will this afternoon and slipped away in fear of the crime."
His words have tried his best to avoid those ambiguous words, but Qi Nian's face still banged, as if being scorched by the sky's fire, and instantly turned red.
In the study this afternoon…
Whether it was out of comfort or other emotions, what Ji Yanxin did to her really went beyond their current relationship.
She quietly covered her face, restrained her wild thoughts, and worked hard to maintain a calm tone: "Wait for me for a few minutes, I'll give it a try."
Ji Yanxin said "um", not curious about how Qi Nian used to contact Ji Qiu, his eyes turned and he whispered: "Just tell her, if she doesn't come back before nine o'clock, I will pack her and send her to the plane tomorrow. ."
Qi Nian was about to hang up the phone, and when he heard this sentence, he could smell Li Senhan's warning in that tone even through the screen.
After hanging up the phone, Qi Nian stared at the gradually darkening mobile phone screen in confusion.
Why does Ji Yanxin's tone sound... so determined
It was as if she knew that she would definitely be able to contact Ji Qiu, and that she would be able to convey what he just said to her.
Liu Xia didn't see Qi Nian move for a long time, tapped on the keyboard, and said with a teasing tone: "You can be fascinated by just taking a call from Teacher Ji?"
Only then did Qi Nian return to his senses, "Bah", "Mr. Ji, please ask me for something, do I look like the kind of person who is addicted to beauty?"
Liu Xia sneered and said mercilessly: "You don't have to look like you, you are." When the words were finished, she watched Qi Nian's fingers tap on the screen like a fly, and tilted her head, "You Is there anything you need Teacher Ji to ask you?"
Qi Nian called Ji Qiu and replied simply, "Ji Qiu hasn't come home yet, so Mr. Ji asked me to call and ask."
Liu Xia was silent, and when he spoke, his tone was a little strange: "Qi Nian."
"When did you arrive with Teacher Ji... can you contact his family?"
Qi Nian was stunned for a moment and was trapped.
When Qi came the next day, Ji Yanxin was about to go out.
Ji Qiu was just cleaned up last night, and he didn't dare to provoke Ji Yanxin all day. When he saw him, he walked away. When they met in the living room, he left Qi Nian unethically and retracted his tail. room.
He seemed to have just found out that she was here, and nodded slightly.
The long black coat complimented him with a handsome figure and a handsome face, and his dark and deep eyes were much brighter than usual, as narrow and long as ink.
Compared to Qi Nian's cramped situation, he was much calmer, still with a dull expression and cold eyes, not too different from usual.
Qi Nian lowered his head and pulled out the small toy he had bought for Qibao from his bag. It was a colorful and cute doll.
She shook the ears of the doll and asked, "Can I give this to Qibao to play?"
Before Ji Yanxin could answer, Qibao suddenly stood up from the ground and ran back a few steps, staring at the puppet in Qi Nian's hand, sticking out his tongue and wagging his tail.
Ji Yanxin stood up with the key, approached, and gave her a subtle look, neither saying good or bad.
Qibao just squatted between the two of them, looking left and right, scratching the floor anxiously.
After a long time, he let go and tried to reason with her peacefully: "Qi Nian, don't spoil her so much, it will spoil her."
Qi Nian's "I do" almost blurted out, but luckily, when the words came to his lips, he remembered that Qibao was not her dog, squinted his eyes and smiled at him embarrassedly, "I just want to be nice to him."
Ji Yanxin glanced at her, didn't say anything, just patted Qibao on the head and walked away.
As soon as Ji Yanxin left the front foot, Ji Qiu stuck his head out from the back foot, carefully observing the surroundings, "Sister Qi, is my brother gone?"
Qi Nian sees her like a mouse meets a cat
In this way, he bit his lip to restrain his smile, "Well, let's go."
Ji Qiu sighed heavily, and hugged the door frame a little tiredly, "It's gone." She didn't dare to breathe loudly all morning.
After class, Ji Yanxin has not come back.
Qi Nian wants to go home, Ji Qiu insists on sending Qi Nian downstairs.
After pondering all the way down, Ji Qiu finally made up his mind and poured out the words he hesitated for a day about whether to tell Qi Nian, "Sister Qi, maybe we have to go to the United States ahead of time."
Qi Nian's footsteps stopped, and he asked, "When?"
Ji Qiu had mentioned to her before that Mr. Ji's physical examination results had some minor problems, and he was taken by Ji Yanxin's father to the United States for follow-up care. Because he left in a hurry, Ji Qiu was still sprinting for the final exam at that time, so he didn't take Ji Qiu with him.
"It's probably just a few days." Ji Qiu puffed up helplessly, "Uncle Ji and auntie are busy, and grandpa is bored, so let my cousin and I go to accompany him early."
When the words fell, she glanced at Qi Nian, but she wanted to say something but didn't dare to say it.
It was windy in the evening, and Qi Nian forgot to wear a scarf when he went out. His neck was cold at the moment. Looking at Ji Qiu's expression, he asked awkwardly, "Is there any bad news?"
Ji Qiu nodded, raised his brows and whispered, "I was in the study last night, so I heard... Grandpa is going to give his cousin a blind date."
Qi Nian was stunned, Rao tried to hide it, but his eyes were still a little strange.
Ji Qiu was afraid to see her expression, and quickly explained: "It's not what my cousin meant, and my cousin refused! It's grandpa... who didn't agree, and insisted on letting him..."
When it came to the end, Ji Qiu's voice became smaller and smaller.
He told her not long ago that she could work hard, just yesterday, he still... He still...
Qi Nian bit her lower lip, and a moment of sadness almost broke her line of defense.
She narrowed her eyes to cover the tears that suddenly gathered in her eyes, took a deep breath, and patted Ji Qiu on the shoulder comfortingly, "It's okay, it's not that your brother is married, why are you putting on such a depressed expression?"
When the words fell, without giving Ji Qiu a chance to speak, Qi Nian raised his hand to cover her cold ears, and urged softly: "You wear less clothes, hurry upstairs, don't catch a cold."
Ji Qiu grabbed her cuff with a backhand and expressed her loyalty with a serious look on her face, "Sister Qi, don't worry, after I go to the United States, I will follow my cousin every step of the way, except for yesterday's accidental accident, which will destroy you..."
Qi Nian's desolate mood hadn't been brewing for a long time, and was smashed by Ji Qiu's serious content. She raised her hand to cover Ji Qiu's mouth, slightly annoyed, "Don't say it!"
Ji Qiu helplessly spread out his hands, and she covered his mouth, so he could only nod his head.
Shy, she understands!
The fact that Ji Yanxin went to the United States for a blind date had a big impact on Qi Nian, but she thought that she had stood firm under Ji Yanxin's repeated blows and rejections. It was just a blind date, and it seemed that it was no big deal.
So, no hypocrisy.
Go to Ji Qiu's class on time every day.
I just couldn't control it, I tried to avoid him before I could clean up my mood.
But in the end, it was on Ji Yanxin's territory. He was caught drinking water in the kitchen after a few days of hiding.
Ji Yanxin made coffee, and the rich aroma lingered above the kitchen, so greedy Qi Nian couldn't help swallowing.
"Would you like a cup?" He gestured with the coffee pot.
Qi Nian immediately handed over the cup and watched him close his eyes, holding the coffee pot and pouring fragrant coffee for her along the spout. The dense white mist rose up, instantly blurring his cold expression.
Putting the coffee pot back, Ji Yanxin raised his eyes and locked her straight, "Ji Qiu is painting?"
Qi Nian nodded. In order to avoid his sight, she pretended to be drinking coffee seriously, and took a big mouthful of coffee inadvertently, so bitter that she frowned and stuck out her tongue, "It's so bitter..."
Ji Yanxin's eyes only had a bit of a smile, and he took out the sugar cube jar from the upper level of the cabinet and handed it to her.
"Ji Qiu should have told you." Ji Yanxin said without warning, "I have to go to the United States ahead of schedule."
Qi Nian held the spoon in his hand for a while, but without looking up, he said "um", "I know."
"It's the day after tomorrow." He lowered his head and sipped his coffee, and when he spoke again, his voice seemed to be soaked with water vapor and slightly moist. "There's still more than a week for the New Year, and it just so happens that you won't be here anymore."
Qi Nian added a few more teaspoons of sugar cubes to the coffee with some anger.
Ji Yanxin's eyes fell on her hands that kept adding sugar, and his voice was slightly heavy: "After the New Year, come back on the seventh day of the new year."
keep adding, keep adding...
"Nothing to tell me?" Ji Yanxin asked.
Qi Nian snorted in his heart, what is there to say? Is it possible to wish you a happy blind date
As soon as the idea came to her, she herself was startled.
Then I finally figured out why I was avoiding him these days...
She is jealous, she is jealous!
Jealous of people who don't even know who they are.
She was dumbfounded for a moment, buried her head, and continued to add sugar as if Quan Dang didn't hear what he said...
Until, his wrist was grasped by him and clasped firmly in the palm of his hand.
The warm temperature scorched her wrist, and her voice was low, mellow and clear: "If you add it, you can't drink it."
The words fell, as if nothing happened, let go.
Qi Nian bit her lip, feeling her eyes warm for some reason. Without saying a word, she covered the sugar jar with sugar cubes, held it in her hand, and answered in a low voice, "I see."
Ji Yanxin stared at her for a while, "Why are you avoiding me recently?"
Qi Nian shook his hand, shook his head, and subconsciously chose to cover it up, "No..."
As soon as he raised his head, he suddenly took a step forward.
Originally, the two of them were very close because of pouring coffee. When he took this step forward, Qi Nian had to step back to maintain a normal distance from him.
She took a deep breath carefully, and the corners of her lips were bent deliberately, showing a smile, "Just thinking... I haven't seen you for a long time... "
She paused, and pursed her lips somewhat indescribably.
Suddenly full of powerlessness.
She clenched the sugar cube jar and turned to put it back on the upper shelf of the cabinet, but tiptoed, still not high enough.
Qi Nian was embarrassed, and was thinking about finding himself a step down, when suddenly—
A warm body was stuck behind her, her hand was held, Ji Yanxin's slender fingers held hers and put the jar back.
This sudden approach shocked Qi Nian, and she turned around in a hurry until the sugar bowl tightly squeezed in her hand was pushed back into the cabinet by his fingers.
Ji Yanxin also happened to be looking at her, and there was light and shadow passing through the bottom of his deep eyes, like a light in the deep sea, so bright that it was almost stunning.
Under such eyes, Qi Nian felt like an aggressor breaking into someone else's territory, at a loss.
"I can't hide, right?" He said suddenly, and his deliberately lowered voice had the feeling of being moistened.
When she spoke, the warm breath brushed past her ear, which was indescribably sultry.
Qi Nian was speechless and unable to answer. He subconsciously wanted to avoid such an intimate contact, to avoid his control. He took a breath and leaned forward, thinking he would not be noticed.
The center of gravity changed, and her toes were no longer able to support the weight of her body. She could only rely on her hands on the counter to maintain it.
Ji Yanxin's eyes stayed on her fingertips, which turned white with force, for a few seconds, and a subtle smile appeared on the corners of his lips, "Don't you want to say it?"
Then Qi Nian asked in a hoarse voice, "Say, what did you say?"
He lowered his head slightly and stared at her, "Then let me ask another way, what did Ji Qiu say to you?"
Qi Nian was so trapped between the console and his body that he was so confused that he could hardly think.
She closed her eyes and asked in a low voice, "Mr. Ji, can you step back..." Otherwise, as soon as she raised her eyes, she would inevitably meet his beautiful dark eyes, easily distracted …
Ji Yanxin stared at her silently for a while, the light and shadow in his eyes changed a bit, but in the end he didn't embarrass her, he stepped back to make room for her.
Qi Nian then withdrew his sore hand, and rubbed his back behind him, "I just got a permit all of a sudden, and I can't find my position..."
She didn't answer directly, let alone confess Ji Qiulai, so she could only give a thousand pounds.
In fact it is.
His recent attitude towards her was so strange that Qi Nian was flustered, guessing the purpose of his actions, and even he was too constrained to perform.
Just like a beast living in the wild, no matter how ferocious it is, when encountering novelty things that he has not seen before, he will always be vigilant at first, and will not start attacking until it is confirmed that it is passive.
Obviously, Ji Yanxin just asked casually, she gave an answer that was barely explained, and he stopped asking.
He lowered his head and took a sip of coffee, his side face showing a bit of coldness in the cold light.
Qi Nian couldn't take his eyes off it.
Watching his coffee-stained lips rippling with water, watching his Adam's apple roll up and down when he swallows...
gradually lost consciousness.
She still can't figure it out. Obviously Ji Yanxin's temperament is cold and cold, and he usually looks alienated and indifferent to everyone, but these very ordinary details of life, he can always be elegant and attractive...
Even, with a bit of bewitching, people can't take their eyes off.
If Qi Nian hadn't met Ji Yanxin, she would never have believed in love at first sight in her life, but... After she met her, she became interested, and in the end, she fell deeply into the mud and never returned to the original track.
When the calf was warm, Qi Nian came back to his senses and looked down.
Qibao didn't know when he woke up, and lazily leaned himself on Qi Nian's lap... rubbing it.
Qi Nian then remembered a question that had been neglected for a long time, "You go to the United States, what about Qibao?"
Ji Yanxin was about to go back to the study, when he heard the words, he raised his eyes and glanced at her, and the meaning in his eyes was obvious - "You don't want to take care of her?"
Qi Nian: "..."
So these unusual closeness recently, wasn't it really for her to take care of Qibao
