If I hadn't had that bad milk tea before, everything would have been fine.
But Qi Nian not only drank it, he drank it all... He didn't even let the pearls go, he swallowed them all.
So an hour after the movie started, Qi Nian felt a little uncomfortable clutching his stomach.
I didn't have the mood to eat the popcorn, I didn't have the energy to laugh when there were funny scenes in the movie, and even Ji Yanxin couldn't care about his blush and heartbeat when he touched her hand.
She, she just wants to go to the toilet...
But the entire theater was so dark that only the light from the big screen came out, and she couldn't even see the road.
Maybe it's because she often stays up all night staring at the computer. Her eyesight has deteriorated drastically. In darker places, she seems to be suffering from night blindness and can only rely on groping.
But in a place like a movie theater, it's also an area for couples... If you grope in the past, what if you touch something you can't touch...
Qi Nian screamed wildly in his heart, and the expression on his face gradually stiffened.
A minute later, Qi Nian grabbed Ji Yanxin's cuff and tugged gently.
Ji Yanxin noticed that, lowered his head, turned his face to the side, and assumed a listening posture. The curvature of the side face was plated with a colorful halo by the light from the screen, and the edges and corners were distinct.
Qi Nian bit embarrassedly: "I'm going to the toilet."
The voice that was as low as a mosquito was suppressed by the sudden and majestic music, Ji Yanxin couldn't hear it clearly, and leaned towards her again, caught off guard—
Qi Nian's lips hit his ear.
Ji Yanxin was startled, turned to look at her, with his back to the light, Qi Nian couldn't see his expression, only saw a flash of light in his bright eyes.
Qi Nian stepped back, covered his mouth with his hand, shook his head, shook his head, shook his head violently.
She didn't do it on purpose, it really wasn't on purpose!
Ji Yanxin raised his hand slowly and touched his ear under Qi Nian's horrified and stupefied eyes. In the flickering light and shadow, his movements were slow and graceful, and the lines of his fingers were drawn slender.
The magnificent background music gradually brought in a climax. In the tense movie atmosphere, Qi Nian could only see his lips moving, with the light behind his back, she couldn't see anything clearly, and blinked in confusion.
What did you say
Ji Yanxin's dark eyes were full of delicate youth, he lowered his head, put his hands on the soft chair cushion between the two, and leaned over.
Qi Nian's hair was about to explode, looking at him vigilantly.
Seeing him gradually leaning in, Qi Nian involuntarily stepped back until his back rested on the soft chair back, "Mr. Ji, Ji, I really didn't mean to offend you..."
When the words fell, she pursed her lower lip.
Suddenly I remembered that from the beginning of my acquaintance to now... Her image of "a prodigal son" seems to have never changed...
Shameless, rascal, shameless, flirtatious... What else did she do to Ji Yanxin
Thinking about it this way, what is the sense of accomplishment that arises spontaneously...
Qi Nian covered his face, and the whole person had to retreat into the back of the chair.
But when I recalled the past, when I remembered that I didn't know what to do at the time, I inexplicably had the courage to break the jar. She quietly parted her fingers and looked at Ji Yanxin who was close at hand.
With a beam of light in his dark eyes, he looked at him without blinking.
The warm air was a little dry, and she involuntarily licked her lips, "I've already apologized, and now I've touched it, do you want to bite it back?"
The voice was soft and waxy, and it was obviously a "malicious threat", but it really lacked confidence.
bite back
Ji Yanxin narrowed his eyes slightly, and his eyes followed her bright eyes and fell on her ears.
Looking at him, Qi Nian's eyes really turned to her ears, and immediately
Now, hurriedly raised his hand to cover his ears, "Just kidding, kidding..."
As soon as the voice fell, a somewhat embarrassing questioning voice came in: "Excuse me, can I borrow it?"
Qi Nian was thin-skinned, and quietly pulled Ji Yanxin's open neckline while closing his legs, hiding his face against his neck.
The fingers that grabbed his collar touched his collarbone, and the warm touch spread from her fingertips all the way, making her subconsciously bury her face deeper.
Aware of her intentions, Ji Yanxin raised his hand naturally, took her by the shoulders, pressed him into his arms, and took advantage of the situation to wrap her whole into his arms.
The tip of Qi Nian's nose lightly bumped into his shoulder, and the hardness of a man made her a little absent-minded.
How is it so good... I feel like I'm having an affair
She raised her hand and poked his shoulder lightly.
no response
Poke again...
In an instant, he cut off his fingers and put them into the palm of his hand.
Ji Yanxin lowered his head, his voice was deep, only one syllable rose slightly: "Huh?"
Qi Nian raised his eyes and met his dark and deep eyes that seemed to see the bottom, and immediately turned his eyes away, looking around, "I'm shy."
Ji Yanxin didn't seem to have expected her answer, stared at her for a few seconds with his deep eyes, and smiled lowly.
The voice was deep in his ears, and Qi Nian's ears were stunned without any precaution, and his whole body became soft...
At this moment, the first thing she thought of was that Zhou Xinxin said enviously while tsk tsk: "Like your male god, who is aloof, cold and inviolable, you will really win it someday. He, that kind of deep passion and tenderness won't kill you, pampering you every day, wrapping your fingers softly..."
Qi Nian licked his saliva covetously.
However, this is the perfect time to cultivate ambiguity.
Qi Nian wrinkled the tip of his nose, the hand held by Ji Yanxin scratched his palm, and gritted his teeth: "That... I want to go to the toilet."
Cover your face.
Qi Nian stumbled all the way to the toilet, then stumbled all the way back to the auditorium, and after sitting back in his seat, the charming and ambiguous atmosphere just now disappeared.
Fast as a dream.
Ji Yanxin didn't know what he was thinking, his eyes focused on the screen, only the fingers on the armrests gently tapped occasionally, silently.
Qi Nian peeked a few times, regretting it.
She picked up the popcorn bucket and fed it into her mouth one by one. Ji Yanxin turned to look at her with the sound of crunching.
Qi Nian bit the popcorn for a while, just like a squirrel with a mouth full of pine nuts, and looked at him in a daze.
"Why did you choose this movie?" Ji Yanxin leaned back and looked at her through the bright light and shadow.
Qi Nian's eyes were sparkling, she was biting the popcorn, her speech was a little unclear: "It seems that this is the only one you may like in the recent film." When the words were finished, she glanced at him quietly, and lowered her head with a big popcorn. , added in a low voice, "Because of the long time of science fiction films..."
Ji Yanxin raised his eyebrows, his eyes widened with interest, and teased her: "When I came, I was actually mentally prepared to watch those sticky love movies with you."
Qi Nian bit his finger and didn't speak.
Four-fifths of the film's run time has passed.
During the time when Qi Nian left, the climax had passed, and everyone was immersed in the sudden turn of the plot, struggling with the hero in the predicament, and accompanied the hero in recalling the past and his wife's past, sighing.
Qi Nian had roughly read the introduction of the film and the spoilers of netizens before booking the tickets, and had a vague conception of the plot, and gradually entered the drama.
When she saw that the male protagonist and his wife were separated, walking along the tree-lined road holding hands, and the camera zoomed in on the clenched hands, she was moved, and she looked at Ji Yanxin, who was sitting silently beside him, absentmindedly.
There was a thought in my mind that I couldn't stop.
She squeezed the sweaty palms, and gently, gently, grabbed his cuff, "Can I hold your hand?"
Seeing that he was about to turn back, Qi Nian immediately tugged at his cuff hard, "Just for a moment... When they end, we will also be separated."
She pulled his cuff with great force, pressing down on his cufflinks so tightly that the back of his hand felt rough and oppressive.
All the tension and anticipation were all felt by him through this soft power.
Ji Yanxin didn't answer.
And his silence usually represents his refusal.
Qi Nian lowered her eyes in disappointment, the tip of her heart seemed to be squeezed, and the sourness made her throat feel slightly bitter.
She slowly let go of her hand, just about to withdraw.
In the next second, Ji Yanxin suddenly held her back, and the warm and dry palm pressed against her, as if holding her heart, causing Qi Nian's heartbeat to skip a beat uncontrollably.
What kind of love between the male and female protagonists, although plain, makes people so moved that they are moved to tears
What scientific theory is as rigorous and powerful as a science fiction documentary
What a clear and real picture, and the big macro of the plot makes the chrysanthemum tense...
Qi Nian didn't feel it at all.
She couldn't even be distracted by the plot behind her.
All her attention was on the hand held by Ji Yanxin.
His hands were warm and strong, and he could vaguely feel the beat of his pulse.
After holding it for a while, it seemed that his ring finger moved slightly.
After being held for a long time, the posture was not very comfortable, and he moved it to his lap again.
Oh, and also…
The hand was held by him, and he didn't let go until the end of the movie... This seems to be the first time between them that it can be regarded as a formal hand-holding, right
So, when he walked out of the cinema, Qi Nian's face was like a peach blossom, and he looked like he had been nourished by a strong man.
She didn't dare to laugh too exaggeratedly, but she couldn't help it, so she could only pursed her lips and lowered her head all the way... In the end, the corners of her mouth became sore.
Rubbing the corners of her mouth, she followed Ji Yanxin to the parking lot to pick up the car. Occasionally, she looked up at his tall and slender back. If she wanted to laugh but couldn't laugh, she hissed and pulled the corner of her lips that was about to rise. .
To pick up your car from the parking lot, be sure to pass through the first floor.
As one of the most popular shopping malls in Z City, there are many shops on the first floor with many types.
It was nearly ten o'clock, and all the shops were packing up and preparing to close. The radio in the mall was playing a soft female voice, reminding the mall over and over again, and asking customers to prepare to leave.
When rounding the corner and passing an accessories store, Ji Yanxin suddenly stopped without knowing what he saw.
Qi Nian followed behind and bumped his head into his back. He hurriedly took a few steps back and looked at him puzzled.
Ji Yanxin turned to look at her a few times, his eyes fell somewhere on the shelf, the corners of his mouth raised a vague arc, the meaning of the smile was unclear, and Qi Nian felt a little hairy.
She took two more steps back in uneasy silence.
"Wait." He stuffed Qi Nian's doll into her arms and walked into the jewelry store.
Qi Nian curiously leaned on the door frame and stuck his head out.
Ji Yanxin walked around the shelf to the middle shelf, took something from the shelf, and went to the counter to check out.
Not knowing what the cashier's waiter said to him, he looked back at Qi Nian, who was waiting obediently at the door, and nodded.
Qi Nian's curiosity was about to be drawn out.
Seeing that Ji Yanxin had settled the bill and walked out with a cardboard box, she almost wagged her tail like Qibao...
Ji Yanxin put the wallet back into his pocket, and threw the cardboard box to her, "Open it and have a look."
Qi Nian's heart, which had been soaked in the honey pot all night, couldn't help but swell again. He happily opened the mouth of the bag and looked inside, and suddenly it became petrified—
inside, inside...
Inside is a pink-pink bunny ear headband…
pink... pink... bunny ears...
Qi Nian blushed, and he didn't know whether it was embarrassment or shyness. Anyway, he didn't dare to raise his head again, for fear that he would accidentally meet his eyes, and all the shameful thoughts in his heart would be exposed. in front of him.
The shopping guide of the jewelry store was looking here secretly, and the heat in her eyes was still strong enough for Qi Nian to feel it across the pot of green dill and the small blackboard with "Today's special price" written on it.
Qi Nian licked his lips and asked uncertainly, "Is this... for me?"
There are not many customers left in the mall, and many shops have turned off their lights. Only the reminder that the mall is about to close is played repeatedly on the radio.
Behind Ji Yanxin is the wide lobby with the main entrance. The white jade-like marble reflects the Christmas tree more than two meters high. The small electric lights on the Christmas tree are flickering, holy and beautiful.
In an instant, the lights on the Christmas tree suddenly went out, and the female voice of gentle prompting stopped, and the whole world suddenly became quiet.
Ji Yanxin's cold voice never reached her ears so clearly: "Didn't Qibao bite his ear? I'll pay for it."
"Bite your ears", his tone was subtle, his bright eyes were like fire in the forest, Qi Nian's heart felt a little warm, and he instantly remembered that more than an hour ago...
How did they "bite" the ear.
Qi Nian pretended to be silly and started the topic: "But Qibao bit the slippers... rabbit ears."
Ji Yanxin raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is there a difference?"
Afraid that he would say something he couldn't resist, Qi Nian immediately shook his head and shut up.
Even if my heart is frantic at the moment... One is stepped on, the other is worn on the head, can it be the same! Can it be the same! Can it be the same!
Because of this unexpected episode, on the way back, Qi Nian didn't say a word.
She lowered her head and thought about things, her active brain had already thought about the Weibo and pictures to be updated tonight in just a few minutes...
Even after returning home, what to do first, what to do second... are all numbered neatly, just wait to rush home, save all the time that can be saved, quietly avoid Papa Qi's inspection, and Go back to the room as quickly as possible and put on rabbit ears to see the effect.
Fortunately, no accident disrupted her plans.
Qi Nian quietly opened the door.
Maybe Dad Qi left a lamp for her in the living room because she was afraid that she wouldn't see it. The warm orange light illuminated the sofa and the wall brightly.
Qi Nianmai came in, and just after closing the door, a big dog rushed towards her and sniffed at her with its nose arched.
Qi Nian was caught off guard by Qibao's sudden attack and stepped back before he had time to grab its two front claws and hug it.
That big fluffy tail was shaken by Qibao to make it look like a tiger.
Qi Nian patted its head, waited for it to be tired enough, changed his shoes quietly, and returned to the room like a thief with one person and one dog.
The result after trying it on... is that Qi Nian held her face and looked at the mirror in the mirror with watery eyes, flushed cheeks, and her face full of spring, and she was too shy to return to her senses.
After taking a photo, he carefully covered his face with a mosaic. When he saw Qibao's swaggering and conspicuous big tail in the mirror, he hesitated for a while, but he didn't delete it, he just posted it on Weibo—
"Bunny ears paid by the male god... so shy!"
Qi Nian has never published a photo of himself on any occasion, he has posted his hands, and his feet have been painted in a mess, but this is the first time...
In particular, there are pink bunny ears paid by the male god on the forehead...
The long rabbit ears drooped down slightly, they looked soft and cute, they really wanted to be cute little angels.
Because you hug a rabbit: I haven't been on Weibo for one night, and the world has changed. I was abused by the pair of CPs next door for one night, and I was shown on Weibo for a breath of fresh air. Manual goodbye【Goodbye】【Goodbye】【Goodbye】.
That plate of braised pork: I was so abused by mosaic that I wanted to vomit blood, please don't cover it up, and post a high-definition uncensored full picture.
Qitang: The taste of the big male god... also... quite unique...
Joy is a hero: he was shown such a face without making a sound, asking for the full picture.
Rogue Xia of the Li family: Me! Do not! letter! Give me back my three views! ! !
After Liu Xia commented with a messy face, she couldn't help but poked Qi Nian privately: "Qi Nian, we are good friends and close friends, right? You tell me honestly, that bunny-eared Weibo is actually just a joke by you. It's up to you to save my three views."
Qi Nian took a sip of the yogurt straw and sipped the cool yogurt. She answered refreshingly: "Poor child, it seems that you will spend so many days in the future reshaping the three views."
Liu Xia choked a mouthful of blood in his throat and almost choked to death.
Professor Ji... Not from the Institute of Biochemistry... "Flower of the High Ridge"...
Why be associated with something like bunny ears...
Just crazy, crazy, crazy.
Qi Nian was just about to comfort Liu Xia, who was hurt in her heart, and asked her and Li Yue how they were doing. After half of the conversation, she received a text message from Ji Yanxin.
There is only a string of numbers on it.
Qi Nian watched for a long time—
Suddenly I found out that this was an account...
Ji Yanxin was in a video conference with several classmates in the same field in the United States, saying that the meeting was a little more formal, because so far, everyone's state has been extraordinarily casual.
He downsized Weibo and went to the kitchen to make himself a cup of coffee.
When he returned to the computer, he happened to receive the verification from Qi Nian's friend.
Ji Yanxin sat down at the table, and he zoomed in on the reduced webpage. Once refreshed, the comments on Weibo had exceeded 600 and continued to climb.
He stared at the bunny ears in the picture for a long time, and tapped his fingers rhythmically on the table.
I suddenly wanted to see her with bunny ears in a wicked way.
In fact, he thought so and did so.
Qi Nian just took a shower and put on his pajamas. His face was flushed red from the heat, and he was sitting cross-legged in the computer chair when he suddenly received a video invitation and was stunned for a moment.
Then he glanced down at his pajamas...
The sentence Ji Yanxin said not long ago jumped out in his mind: "It's not suitable to see guests in a messy dress."
But a few seconds later, the somewhat twisted Qi Nian obediently appeared in the video.
Ji Yanxin was only wearing a white shirt, and the cuffs were folded loosely to his forearm. He glanced at the video lightly, and said straight to the point: "Go to Beixiang the day after tomorrow, prepare in advance."
Qi Nian was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "You know, is Ji Qiu coming tomorrow?"
"Yeah." He took a cup of coffee and took a sip of coffee, his eyes swept over her newly added comment, "Arriving in the evening, leave with us early in the morning on the ninth."
Without waiting for Qi Nian to respond, he added: "Shao Zui will also go."
He paused for a moment while holding the mouse, and suddenly changed the subject: "Where's the bunny ears?"
Shao Zui had been silent all the time. Anyway, among the people who participated in the video conference, he was the only one who could understand what Ji Yanxin was saying, and was too lazy to remind Ji Yanxin to turn off the microphone.
But when I listened to it, I realized that Ji Yanxin was talking to Qi Nian, so he couldn't help but pricked up his ears and listened intently to the corner of the wall.
When he heard the word "rabbit ears", Shao Zui's not-so-pure mind was instantly distorted.
Qi Nian was also stunned, and replied casually, "It's at hand."
Ji Yanxin said "um" and said in a low voice, "Dai show me."
Qi Nian's eyes widened and he panicked, "... Now, now?"
Shao Zui's hands are shaking so he can't hold the cup...
Qi Nian looked at the bunny ear headband just by his hand, and his stomach was knotted because it was rare.
Ji Yanxin didn't see Qi Nian move for a long time, and asked quietly, "I don't want to, eh?"
Qi Nian blushed slightly, and his words were a little awkward: "Really, really want to see?"
Ji Yanxin didn't answer, but his eyes seemed to ask, "What do you think?"
Qi Nian licked his lips and slowly picked up the bunny ear headband. After all, he felt that it was strange to wear it in front of him. He turned around and smoothed his hair before putting the headband on.
She coughed lightly, covered her face and turned around, a little tragic, "That's it."
Ji Yanxin raised his eyebrows slightly, "Put your hands down."
It was obviously a normal conversation... But with the addition of bunny ears, Qi Nian somehow felt that Ji Yanxin... was teasing her.
Not even a single ambiguous word...
Ji Qiu had his cell phone confiscated by Ji Yanxin, and his computer was banned. He was forced to read a book during the winter vacation in Uncle Ji's study for the whole vacation, and he almost hated Ji Yanxin to death.
The first thing I did when I returned to China was to contact Qi Nian first, and said that tomorrow I would be able to keep up with the pace of the army and set off to the ancient city of Beixiang together.
Qi Nian heard Ji Yanxin mention it last night, and he had no objection to it.
"And wow! My brother didn't have a successful blind date, and he didn't even go. I'm so moved by his steadfastness."
Qi Nian was silent, embarrassed to tell Ji Qiu that she already knew.
However, Ji Qiu's next sentence caught the unprepared Qi Nian by surprise.
"I also saw my brother's ex-girlfriend... It's because I want to send you first-hand information, so I was banned from my mobile phone and banned from my computer..." After the words were finished, Ji Qiu probably also realized that he was so unreasonable to say it out. It was appropriate, and quickly made up, "But I swear! There's nothing, I can't tell you on the phone, I'll tell you in detail tomorrow."
Qi Nian bit the handkerchief and asked a question: "Is it beautiful?"
Ji Qiu hesitated again and again, but honestly admitted: "... It seems... pretty?"
Qi Nian threw away the handkerchief and bit the quilt instead, "Why is there a word 'very' in front of pretty..."
Ji Qiu: "…"
Shao Zui sat up pinching his sore neck. His right arm was so sore that he couldn't lift it up after sleeping for a few hours. He stiffened his upper body and manipulated the mouse with his inflexible left hand.
Ji Yanxin walked into the study while drinking coffee, narrowed his eyes lazily, and looked at Shao Zui, whose expression was numb and had not fully recovered, "Have you had a good rest?"
Thanks to the seminar, they organized the documents, compiled the materials, and were busy for two days.
Shao Zui brought in all the documents early yesterday morning and set up camp in Ji Yanxin's study for a whole day. As a result, he was so busy last night that he didn't know when he fell asleep.
Shao Zui scratched his head, "You haven't slept all night?"
Ji Yanxin closed his eyes and pinched his brows tiredly, "The data has been sorted and copied to the hard drive, I'll go take a nap..."
He opened his eyes, raised his wrist to look at the time, and pondered a little, "There are still three hours, and I will hand it over to you when I pick up someone."
Shao Zui woke up early, but his consciousness couldn't keep up. It took a while before he remembered that he was going to the ancient city of Beixiang today, "Ji Qiu and Qi Nian?"
Ji Yanxin glanced at him lazily, took out the car key from his pocket and threw it to him, without saying a word.
The window in the early morning seemed to be covered with a dark blue curtain, and there was a faint hint of light, indicating that the dawn was coming.
The strong aroma of coffee spread in the study, Ji Yanxin took a sip, looked at the looming sky for a long time, picked up his jacket, and got up.
Shao Zui's still bewildered mind gradually became clearer. When he just stepped out of the study, he opened his mouth and asked, "Would you like to bring you breakfast later?"
"No." Ji Yanxin didn't turn his head back, "I have no appetite."
Ji Yanxin had a habit since college. He didn't eat breakfast the next morning after going to bed late. At first, he lost his appetite after going to bed late. Gradually, he didn't like to eat even if he had an appetite.
Because of this, Ji Yanxin also suffered from a serious stomach problem in college, and he would suffer from stomach pain if he didn't eat regularly.
For this reason, Shao Zui worried a lot.
However, according to Ji Yanxin's unequivocal character, it was useless for him to worry.
After taking a shower and changing clothes, Shao Zui went to the breakfast shop downstairs for breakfast. After thinking about it, he brought a copy for Ji Yanxin and put it in the back seat in case he needed it.
He first went to Ji's house to pick up Ji Qiu, and then returned to pick up Qi Nian.
Ji Qiu's jet lag hadn't reversed, and he fell asleep all the way after getting in the car, and he didn't even notice that Qi Nian got in the car. When he stopped at the red light at the intersection, Ji Qiu tilted his head and slammed into the car window with a thud.
Shao Zui glanced at her distractedly, saw that she just frowned and continued to sleep, raised his hand to straighten her head, and turned around again, motioning Qi Nian to bring the coat he threw on the back seat and cover it Ji Qiu's body.
"I guess I won't wake up until I sleep in Beixiang." He laughed and asked casually, "Qi Nian, have you had breakfast yet?"
The voice was low, as if afraid of waking her up.
Qi Nian didn't sleep well last night because of Ji Qiu's important information, and he was full of expectations that he would see Ji Yanxin early in the morning, but after being crushed by reality, he became a little listless, "I ate it and gave it to Qibao. I bought the steamed buns and fed myself by the way."
Shao Zui was silent, thinking to himself: Really... It's quite convenient.
He smiled and looked in the rearview mirror, "I'm not curious why I came to pick you up?"
Qi Nian's tongue was bitter, so astringent that she twisted the water bottle and poured a large bottle of water into her mouth. After swallowing it, she asked, "Why?"
Shao Zui glanced at the time and said with a chuckle, "He hasn't slept all night, so he should be making up his sleep now."
Qi Nian's movement of screwing on the bottle cap slowed down unconsciously, "Too busy... no time to sleep?"
He said he would be very busy... So, is he so busy? Then there is still time to video with her, let her... wear rabbit ears!
Shao Zui said "uh", "I wouldn't be so busy..." He quietly glanced at Qi Nian's reaction in the rearview mirror, "He took the time to go out after the seminar two days ago, plus this The ancient city of Beixiang was arranged in two days, otherwise it would not have been so rushed."
Qi Nian compared the time and just wanted to bite his fingers guiltily.
Two days ago... Wasn't she the one who asked Ji Yanxin to go to the movies...
But what he could obviously refuse... It was the kind of ruthless rejection without any psychological burden... Anyway, he was rejected a lot, and Qi Nian was already used to it.
But he didn't.
She turned to look out the car window.
The air conditioner was turned on in the car, the heating was dense, and under the temperature difference, the windows were filled with a layer of white fog.
Qi Nian raised her hand to wipe it away, and her fingertips were stained with wet coolness, and she didn't care.
because-
Somewhere in my heart is burning hot.
When Shao Zui went downstairs to Ji Yanxin's apartment, he was already waiting there.
The car just stopped, Ji Yanxin took a few steps up, opened the front passenger door and was about to get in the car. Seeing Ji Qiu sleeping unconscious in the front passenger, he frowned slightly, closed the door and sat in the back seat.
After standing outside for a while, when he came in, he still had the chill of the early spring morning, and the coldness hit his face.
Qi Nian was swept away by the cool wind and shrank his neck.
Unexpectedly, with such a small gesture, Ji Yanxin turned to look at her and asked her blankly, "Cold?"
His cold brows were even colder than this morning.
Qi Nian bumped into his eyes without any defense, and quickly shook his head and said, "It's not cold."
Ji Yanxin didn't say a word, didn't even respond, stretched his body and leaned back, and closed his eyes again, the air pressure around his body was so low that even Ji Qiu, who was sleeping, couldn't help but frown.
Shao Zui stroked his forehead and explained, "Get up and get angry."
Qi Nian turned to look at Ji Yanxin.
He closed his eyes, his entire face was angular, straight and cold, with only slightly closed eyes, which were a little soft because the long eyelashes covered the eyelids.
Qi Nian opened his mouth and wanted to say that last time he was camping in Dongli Mountain, he didn't get a good rest all night, and he didn't see his low pressure... which made a carload of people feel depressed.
But when the words came to his lips, Qi Nian swallowed them back as they were.
Don't bother him, let him rest for a while.
So, Qi Nian was obedient and quiet, and acted as a mushroom beside him.
The ancient city of Beixiang is not close to City Z, and the high-speed rail takes nearly two hours.
Qi Nian is only happy now. Fortunately, he is not driving by himself. Otherwise, Ji Yanxin would have to replace Shao Zui for a few rides on such a long journey, and he would have to cut his rest time by half.
10 minutes after arriving at the train station, check the ticket and get on the train.
The tickets for the four people are all first-class seats in the front and rear double seats, Qi Nian is by the window, and Ji Qiu is in the aisle.
Ji Qiu held the ticket and looked at Qi Nian silently for a few seconds, then blinked, "Sister Qi."
Qi Nian patted the seat beside him and motioned her to sit down.
Ji Qiu was forced to wake up, and there was still deep tiredness in her eyes. She covered her lips and yawned. Just as she was about to sit down, Shao Zui grabbed her by the back and pushed her into the seat in front.
Ji Qiu was furious, "Why are you pulling me here! I don't want to be with you..."
Before he could finish speaking, Shao Zui's cool eyes sealed his mouth.
Following Shao Zui's eyes, she looked at Ji Yanxin who was walking this way, tactfully put the blindfold over her eyes, tilted her head, and fell asleep in seconds.
Shao Zui looked at her blindfold, and sighed deeply.
Ji Yanxin went to get a coat, and when he came back, he found that the position had changed.
He glanced at Ji Qiu, who was pretending to be asleep, and Shao Zui, who was pretending to be busy, and sat down in the aisle without frowning.
"A little sleepy." He leaned back in the soft chair. "Wake me up when I arrive."
Qi Nian nodded, found that he had closed his eyes, and replied in a low voice, "Okay."
Ji Yanxin's eyelashes moved, and he didn't know if he didn't have the strength to open them.
Qi Nian's heart skipped a beat and stared at him intently.
two days.
I haven't seen you for two days.
But it was usually longer than two days, but it was never like the present. It made her feel like she lived a long time, as if he was far away from the mountains and rivers, and he was far away on the other side of the sea.
So now that I see it, I feel like I can't see enough.
Qi Nian looked away restrainedly.
Be humble...
It's too perverted to stare all the way...
To distract her attention, she took out a snack to pass the time from her backpack.
The economic situation of Qi Nian's family has always been good, so since childhood, Qi's father and Qi's mother took her out for travel.
When I was a child, it was often a long journey for several days and nights in farther places. In addition to eating and resting at the service station, snacks were also essential in the car.
I don't know if it was a habit formed at that time. As soon as Qi Nian went out and the journey was a little longer, he couldn't help but bring snacks... Cough, eat all the way.
Every time the bag of puffed food is opened, there are all kinds of fine sounds.
Qi Nian tore open the package little by little, pricked up his ears every time the sound was too loud, turned his head to pay attention to Ji Yanxin's movements, for fear of waking him up, like a little mouse.
After several repetitions, Qi Nian finally felt some guilt, turned around, and prepared to take out a book from his backpack and read it quietly.
She gently opened the zipper of the backpack, hearing the sound like gears rubbing, small but a little annoying, Qi Nian looked up at Ji Yanxin subconsciously.
He still closed his eyes and looked like he was asleep, but the eyebrows were slightly raised...
Hey…
etc!
Wrinkled, frowned.
On the radio, a sweet and gentle female voice was broadcasting the station where the high-speed train arrived. The car slowly stopped, and only a faint light was obscured by the opaque platform.
Passengers get on and off.
In the noisy voice, Qi Nian was caught off guard by Ji Yanxin's hand.
This sudden physical contact startled Qi Nian, and he subconsciously wanted to break free, but as soon as he moved his hand, he held it even harder.
"Don't move." His voice was low and hoarse.
Qi Nian froze.
In the next second, he held her hand with a slight slack.
Those slender and warm fingers pressed against the back of her hand, slid to her fingertips, and then slowly and purposefully separated her fingers, interlocking them.
Qi Nian had a little deer in his heart, and he kept stumbling and stumbling.
In a quiet environment, the sound of her heartbeat was so clear that her eardrums bulged.
She didn't dare to move, and maintained this awkward posture for a long time. He covered his coat and hid his interlocking hands under the coat.
It was still a low and hoarse voice, slow and slow: "You are too noisy."
There were still people walking in the aisle one after another, and his voice was almost drowned out by the surrounding noise.
All Qi Nian's attention was concentrated on his left hand, which was intertwined with his fingers. He sat stiffly for a while, and finally he was so tired that he relaxed his shoulders.
The screen of the mobile phone placed on the small table suddenly lit up, Qi Nian glanced at it, it was Ji Qiu's text message.
She raised her head subconsciously.
Ji Qiuzheng was holding the phone, smiling maliciously at her.
Afraid of waking Ji Yanxin, she pointed to her phone and motioned to read WeChat. Seeing Qi Nian's understanding, he retracted his seat and sent a message with his fingers like an enclave.
"My brother fell asleep?"
"Sister Qi, don't miss this opportunity. Take advantage of this moment and take a photo of him! Go back and pay for dog food on Weibo."
"Oh, oh, it's better to take a photo together..."
Qi Nian shook his hands and replied, "A group photo?"
"Yes, yes." Ji Qiu bit his fingers, his eyes glowing with excitement, "Don't you know that the little angels who asked for a photo have already circled the earth?"
she knows…
Ever since they knew that "Beauty should be repaired" has a prototype, the trend of asking for photos has been unstoppable.
Qi Nian quietly... quietly turned to look at Ji Yanxin.
The raised collar of his coat covered most of his face, and his eyebrows were frowning impatiently, revealing only his closed eyes and a large nose bridge.
Fall asleep
Qi Nian approached tentatively.
The high-speed train passed through the tunnel, Ji Yanxin's breathing was light and gentle, as if he had fallen asleep.
Afraid of waking him up, Qi Nian retracted cautiously and asked Ji Qiu unsurely, "He won't wake up suddenly, will he? What if he is caught..."
"What are you afraid of!" Ji Qiu rolled up his sleeves in disgust, "Then you hurry up and make a concave shape, and I'll take a photo."
Qi Nian's eyes widened, his fingers softened, "Really?"
"Nonsense!" Ji Qiu pressed the screen and quickly instructed, "Now listen to me, I turn around, and you put your head in the same frame as my brother."
"I turned around."
Ahhh? !
Qi Nian raised his head unprepared, and Ji Qiu's stunned expression was captured in the camera.
Ji Qiu covered his mouth and smirked a few times, and gestured for Qi Nian and Ji Yanxin to get closer.
Qi Nian nervously turned to look at Ji Yanxin.
He was still sleeping peacefully, unknowingly.
As long as he doesn't make a sound, doesn't wake him up... he doesn't know what to do, right
This thought jumped into her mind, Qi Nian didn't hesitate any longer, took a deep breath, put her head close, thought about it, and forced a smile.
Ji Qiu adjusted the focus and took several pictures in a row, but obviously, Qi Nian's expression was too stiff and her posture was not intimate enough to make her feel unsatisfied.
She called up the WeChat dialog box: "Come closer, pout, be cute, and tilt your head?"
Qi Nian's eyes stared at the screen.
Pouting, acting cute... Tilt your head
Could she just have a scissor hand...
Qi Nian moved his head to Ji Yanxin's face with some embarrassment. He was hesitating whether to pout or tilt his head, and just raised his head.
Ji Yanxin suddenly turned his face to the side, the slightly cool tip of his nose brushed from the side of her face and touched it lightly.
Without warning... it fell on her ear.
The warm breath gently blew her ears, causing Qi Nian to bang... The whole thing exploded.
one second.
two seconds.
ten seconds.
no response
Qi Nian quietly opened his eyes a crack.
no, not awake...
Ji Qiu laughed all the way.
I want to laugh when I think of the picture just now, I want to laugh when I see the photo, and I also smile when I swipe on Weibo...
Shao Zui couldn't bear it anymore, he grabbed Ji Qiu's ponytail and lifted it up, listening to her hissing, turning his head to stare at her, and threateningly said: "If you laugh again, I will file a complaint later, and see how your brother cleans up your little one. Badass."
Ji Qiu clutched his ponytail, turned his head and bit on Shao Zui's finger.
Shao Zui frowned as he was bitten, he pulled out his hand and squeezed her chin, "Ji Qiu, you are a dog!"
He used a little force, Ji Qiu's jaw was sore, forced to let go, he hummed angrily, "You don't know what I am?"
Shao Zui was afraid that it would hurt her so much that this little ancestor could cry to him right away, just as he loosened up a little, he was snapped viciously by Ji Qiu's palm, "I think you just can't see my brother, I'll give it to myself. Where is looking for little sister-in-law hindering you?"
Sister-in-law
Shao Zui raised his eyebrows, but didn't say anything.
Ji Yanxin's recent abnormal behavior has given him a very tacit understanding, and he doesn't care about Ji Qiu's unskilled clichés.
Ji Qiu looked back at him several times to confirm that he really knew something. He couldn't help poking at his arm, very dog-legged, "Brother Shao Zui, do you know something?"
Shao Zui laughed and hooked his fingers to signal her to come over.
Ji Qiu's curiosity was aroused, and he put his ear to it without any defense.
Only to hear Shao Zui chuckle: "Please, I'll tell you."
An hour later, the high-speed train arrived at the station.
After getting off at Beixiang Station, there is a direct bus to the ancient city. After half an hour, the lingering bus finally stopped at the entrance of the ancient city.
The ancient city of Beixiang is a water town in the south of the Yangtze River in the true sense, and it seems to be immersed in water all year round. In winter, it rarely snows in Beixiang. Even if there is, it is sleet. Often the sky is still floating, and the ground has melted with the rain.
The path paved with bluestone slabs is wet and splashes when stepping on a small puddle. There are thin cracks on the old houses on both sides of the alley, and some older ones even have green moss.
Seeing that it is about to rain that day, I first find a pre-booked hotel and settle down.
This inn is a husband and wife shop. When the four of them entered together, only the proprietress was sitting under the roof of Linhe. Hearing the movement, she turned her ears and asked in a soft tone, "How many guests?"
"Four." Ji Qiu answered, "We made a reservation."
The proprietress didn't get up either, just nodded and said, "Then please wait a moment."
After a while, the boss who went grocery shopping finally came back. After a few people looked at the room, they checked in.
There was still some time left before the meal. Ji Qiu went to the alley to buy maltose, and he took Qi Nian to go with him. By the way, he looked for the gourmet restaurants recommended in the guide.
When I went back, it was just in time for lunch, and I caught up with the boss.
The owner is thirty-five years old this year. He is a talkative and enthusiastic person. "The business has been poor these two days. My inn is full at this time in previous years." He put some vegetables in his wife's bowl, and his loud voice was right He softened a lot when he touched her, "Eat more."
"I want to eat bamboo shoots." The proprietress tapped the edge of the bowl with her chopsticks, "Don't patronize and talk."
The boss smiled and took a sip of the wine, "This year's bad winter, it is estimated that it will rain for several days when it is cloudy and rainy..."
Ji Qiu fixed his eyes on the five-year-old boss taking care of his wife, and asked curiously, "Boss, are you not a local?"
"I'm from the north," he said. "My wife is a native."
While we were talking and eating, it was raining lightly outside.
Ji Qiu eats the fastest food. Hearing that there is a golden retriever in the coffee shop next door, he can't wait to check it out. Shao Zui also followed by the way, to see if the golden retriever next door was as attractive as Qibao.
There were two less people at the dinner table, and the atmosphere was not at all deserted.
Qi Nian put down his chopsticks and was thinking about slipping away to the next door. Before opening his mouth, the proprietress, who had been eating quietly, suddenly asked, "You two are a couple?"
When she spoke, she raised her head, but those beautiful eyes did not look at all.
Qi Nian was startled by her empty eyes, and looked at Ji Yanxin subconsciously.
"I can't see." The proprietress seemed to guess what Qi Nian was thinking, and took the initiative to explain, "The usual fun is to gossip about the stories of the guests."
She laughed a few times, her voice soft: "Don't mind."
Qi Nian shook his head, for fear that the beautiful proprietress would misunderstand if he slowed down, "I don't mind, I don't mind."
He said that he didn't mind, but he was afraid that she would ask some questions that he couldn't resist, so he hurriedly made an excuse to go to the next door to see the golden retriever, and quickly escaped.
Listening to the footsteps, the proprietress left in a hurry, took a few sips of the warm tea handed over by the boss, and asked with a smile, "Am I offended? Why is she running so fast."
Ji Yanxin took a sip of his wine slowly and replied, "It's okay, I'm shy."
"So... not a couple?"
Ji Yanxin rubbed his cup thoughtfully and whispered, "Not yet."
The afternoon time is very leisurely, wandering aimlessly, and can slowly taste the charm of this historic ancient city.
Qi Nian and Ji Qiu were walking along the street. There was the sound of pattering rain on the eaves of the corridor. Rainwater leaked in from the shabby place and soaked the bluestone slabs.
The ancient city of Beixiang is probably the best preserved ancient city. Although the traces of development are obvious, many original things have also been preserved.
The two walked around casually, and when they came across a shop they were interested in, they went in and sat for a while. After an afternoon, I got a lot of harvest. Seeing that the time was almost up, I speeded up and returned to the inn.
In the evening, the streets of the ancient city were already lit up with electric lights, and the dim yellow light connected into one piece, adorning the entire ancient city like a luminous galaxy.
When Shao Zui called Ji Qiu, he had already arrived at Jiuzhen Pavilion, confirmed that they were on their way, and ordered food first.
Jiuzhen Pavilion is the most prestigious food building in the ancient city. It is said to have collected local famous snacks and delicacies. With its strong strength, it was selected as one of the "must-see places in the ancient city of Beixiang" in one fell swoop.
Qi Nian... can't wait.
Shao Zui counted the time and waited for them to come downstairs to pick them up, walking from the narrow wooden stairs to the top floor.
The private room on the top floor looks like an ancient wing room, and there are two waiters in cheongsam standing at the entrance of the private room with guests. It was the peak period of meals, but the private room on the top floor was extraordinarily quiet, and only faint sounds of chatter and laughter could be heard downstairs.
Ji Qiu secretly glanced at the decoration on the top floor, "This is completely themed restaurant..."
When Shao Zui heard this, he glanced back at her and asked, "Don't you like it?"
He treats guests tonight... Ji Qiu dare not say that he doesn't like it, he shook his head hastily, and said sincerely, "There's no way, I like it very much!"
While speaking, he had already walked to the door of the private room. The waiter pushed open the door, walked in to meet them, and asked, "Sir, are you serving now?"
Shao Zui nodded and replied, "Let's serve."
Ji Yanxin was looking at the wine glass that was just delivered. The celadon-colored wine glass was slightly cool in his hand. He raised his head when he heard the voice, and saw Qi Nian walking in around the screen.
His eyes are always bright, even if he looks at you inadvertently, there is always the illusion of being stared at by him.
Qi Nian suddenly felt a little embarrassed, pretending to look at this private room, avoiding his eyes.
There is a kind of simple and light fragrance in the private room. I don't know if it is because of the wooden table and chairs, or because of the incense, the faint woody aroma does not smudge the nose, but it is leisurely and peaceful.
Although the Ji family is traditional, except for Mr. Ji's room, which still uses some old furnishings, the rest are all new and modern decorations. Ji Qiu longed for this kind of historical era, and couldn't sit down at all.
It was Ji Yanxin who tapped lightly on the table, without saying anything, Ji Qiu had already consciously sat down and prepared to eat.
Shao Zui saw that he felt unbalanced, "I'm a few years older than your brother, why do you put my words in your left ear and go out your right ear? You don't know what it means to respect the old and love the young at all?"
Ji Qiu was eating Babao Duck and had no time to talk to him.
Compared to Shao Zui and Ji Qiu, who were having a lively meal from time to time, Qi Nian was much quieter here.
Ji Yanxin didn't like to talk when she was eating... So she was also extra quiet, and she was careful not to make a sound whether it was changing the cups or picking up the chopsticks.
Ji Yanxin glanced at her and moved the upside-down celadon wine glass with his backhand. The spout poured a shallow glass of hot bayberry wine along the wall of the glass, and then pushed it to her hand, "Take a sip."
Qi Nian smelled the strong aroma of wine, and was a little drunk before drinking, "I'm not very good at drinking."
"Well, I know." Ji Yanxin's lips curled slightly, and he repeated, "I know."
Qi Nianmeng.
So... what does this mean...
Probably guessing what she was thinking at the moment, Ji Yanxin glanced at her and explained, "This wine took a lot of fine work, it's a pity not to drink it."
Qi Nian said "Oh", put the wine glass to his lips, and licked it quietly.
Ji Yanxin raised his eyebrows and looked away, as if he hadn't seen her little gesture.
A shallow cup is fed, and the rich and mellow wine aroma spreads from the tip of the tongue. The wine is mellow and sweet, but it does not make people feel spicy and choking, but feels warm in the stomach, which is indescribably comfortable.
Having tasted the taste of this wine, Qi Nian licked his lips contentedly and filled himself with another glass.
Ji Yanxin didn't have much appetite, so he put down his chopsticks after taking a few bites.
This pot of scalded bayberry wine is delicious, but because his stomach is not very good, he only drank a few glasses and stopped restrained. At this moment, watching Qi Nian drink cup after cup without stopping, he didn't mean to stop.
The wine is not strong, and I am not afraid of her getting drunk.
The arrangement for the evening was made when I was at the inn at noon, and I went to the restaurant to listen to Pingtan.
The tea house is not far from here, just a few minutes walk.
Ji Qiu intends to make a two-person world for Ji Yanxin and Qi Nian, and he is indeed very new to these things that he has never seen before. After entering the restaurant, he takes Shao Zui to accompany her to the Baxian Table, which is the best viewing spot in front of her. .
Ji Yanxin was left to the side, didn't care, looked around leisurely, then lowered his head to ask her opinion: "Where do you want to sit?"
Qi Nian's drunkenness of bayberry wine was just blown away by the cold wind, but after entering the restaurant, he was dizzy and chest tight due to the stagnant heating.
Seeing her discomfort, Ji Yanxin raised his head and glanced at the second floor separated by a screen, "Go to the second floor."
Of course Qi Nian had no objection. After following him to the second floor, he saw the so-called elegant seat—
The seating area is separated by a separate screen. The point is... The gauze curtain is specially drawn... The gauze curtain used to block other people's sight is really hard to think about...
She touched her nose a little embarrassedly, looked at the soft couches that were not very spacious, and guessed silently. Sitting for two people... Will you be able to touch your hands when you lift your arms
As it turns out, the soft couch just doesn't look too spacious.
Qi Nian was drinking tea and eating melon seeds... and never had the chance to get in touch with Ji Yanxin.
The sound of footsteps was heard from time to time on the wooden stairs. Qi Nian was not attentive, and always had to look through the screen, even if he could only see a hazy outline.
Oh... and the perfect profile of the beautiful teacher Ji Qingjun.
How to do
I can't breathe just looking at it.
Qi Nian picked up the teacup and drank a few sips of tea, but the feeling of being seduced by him still did not improve.
After sitting for a while, Qi Nian couldn't sit still.
But just when he moved restlessly, his leg touched his, Ji Yanxin was fine, Qi Nian himself seemed to have been electrocuted, a shock, and immediately shrank back.
Ji Yanxin looked at her sideways, too lazy to speak, only asked with his eyes.
Qi Nian didn't dare to look at him, so he covered his face, which was heated by the heating, and said in a loud voice, "The heating is too much, it's a little hot."
This familiar tone made Ji Yanxin effortlessly remember the night of the sixth day of the Lunar New Year. She was also a little dazedly drunk. He was pinned on the sofa, and she said in a coquettish tone, "My legs are numb."
The sound and shadow gradually overlapped, and Ji Yanxin realized that it seemed that all the differences started from that night.
He lowered his eyes that were as deep as ink, and suddenly felt that the heating was a little too much. He loosened his neckline, but that casual movement seemed to be deliberately provocative, making Qi Nian's mouth dry for a while.
She immediately looked away, turned to see the window behind the screen, and couldn't wait to stand up, "I'll open the window."
The window was an old wooden window. Qi Nian didn't hold it up for a long time. He was about to ask the waiter who ran the hall for help, but when he turned around, he bumped into Ji Yanxin who was standing behind her at some point.
Qi Nian rubbed his dizzy head and took a step back.
Still dizzy, Ji Yanxin put the back of his hand up and gently touched her forehead, the lowered voice seemed to have a warm fragrance: "Really drunk?"
Qi Nian shook his head.
She's just brain... a little dizzy.
The result was shaken, and the world was spinning.
He bent over, kept a suitable distance, and looked at her.
Behind him is a gorgeous screen, and the warm light renders this blind spot behind the elegant seat extraordinarily ambiguous. The usual cold voice was unexpectedly mild: "I know you're poor in alcohol, but I didn't expect..." It's so bad.
It is obviously a low-concentration bayberry wine, and he can drink it as juice here, but she is sure to drink it.
Qi Nian was about to say that he was not drunk, but was interrupted by the bell before he could speak.
She took out her phone from her pocket and looked at it, staring at the words "Jin Xianyu" displayed on the screen for a few seconds before picking it up.
She answered the phone, Ji Yanxin stepped forward without saying a word, raised his hand to prop up the bracket of the window.
The fresh and natural wind came in from outside the teahouse, Qi Nian couldn't help taking a deep breath, and his chaotic brain was also awake a lot.
After accidentally bumping into Qi Nian at the cinema that day, Jin Xianyu turned around and added Qi Nian's WeChat account. He should have seen the pictures she posted on the Moments at night and knew that she had come to Beixiang.
"you alone?"
"No, I came with a friend." Qi Nian looked up at Ji Yanxin, who had no intention of leaving, and felt a little embarrassed at the thought of receiving a call from another man who had no plans for her in front of the male god.
"Which friends?"
Qi Nian frowned and glanced at Ji Yanxin with some embarrassment, "I, I'll go out and answer the phone first."
Ji Yanxin looked at her noncommittally, didn't say "yes" or "no", but very simply... blocked the only way in and out behind him.
Jin Xianyu asked curiously, "Are you still outside?"
Qi Nian didn't answer.
In those bright and clear eyes, for the first time, his figure was so clearly reflected, so unrelenting, he locked him in her eyes.
"I happen to be going to Beixiang tomorrow, how many days are you staying in Beixiang
"Can I just hang out with you? I'll be there soon by driving, and I'll take you back by the way...
"But there should be a lot of people on vacation now. Do you still have a room in the hotel you're staying in? Qi Nian? Are you listening to Qi Nian, Qi... "
Jin Xianyu's annoying voice was still ringing.
The next second, he came up to him without saying a word, pressed her against the wall, held her chin in one hand and lifted it up, and without warning, lowered his head and kissed her.
Silent and unbearable.
