I Really Want to Be With You

Chapter 20: Deep night revealed intense love

Views:

The start of school was like a nightmare for Qi Nian.

You have to get up early, in addition to walking the dog and brushing Weibo, you have to listen to the lectures, take notes, and take the exam seriously...

Qi's mother was afraid that she would be too playful, so she forgot to set the alarm clock. Before going to bed, she called again and warned: "School starts tomorrow, go to bed early tonight, and don't work too late for updates."

Qi Nian's mouth is full of yes.

Qi's mother severely criticized her perfunctory attitude: "Seeing that you can get married and have children, why do you make me worry so much, I always feel like I haven't grown up yet..."

Qi Nian's heart melted when he heard it, so he softened his voice and said coquettishly, "Mom, do you miss me as soon as I leave your sight? I'll be back on Saturday in a few days."

Qi Ma snorted, "I don't miss you. I can scan the ground less every day when you leave. Speaking of which, don't blame me for talking. You've stayed up for a long time and your hair has fallen out badly. You still have Qibao, and you're usually diligent. A little bit, sweep the floor a few more times. Qibao loves to sniff everywhere, don't eat your hair..."

Qi Nian glanced at Qibao, who was playing with toys in his own nest, and said, "Yeah," "Don't worry, I have a baby."

Dad Qi squinted, listening to Mom Qi explaining every little thing, turned over and muttered, "Your daughter has her boyfriend to take care of, don't worry about it."

Qi's mother almost forgot about Qi Nian's boyfriend, and when Qi's father mentioned it inadvertently, she suddenly became excited, "I said Qi Nian, what kind of boyfriend did you have, you don't even come to help when you move back to the apartment after school... I Seeing that this person is unreliable, you must measure it in your own heart."

Qi Nian's knees almost softened and she was about to kneel on her father's knees, which is really a pot that can't be opened and lifted. She laughed dryly and explained, "On a business trip... He hasn't come back from a business trip."

Qi's mother was still dissatisfied, "Then does he know that you are moving back today? Is it the text message or the phone that cares about you?"

Qi Nian was speechless when asked, and then an epiphany flashed in his mind, and suddenly he remembered something incredible!

She didn't tell Ji Yanxin that she moved back to the apartment today, so how did he... how did he directly find the apartment here at the school

Ask Liu Xia? impossible.

As I said before, their relationship should be kept low-key. Qi Nian has not dared to take the initiative to mention it to Liu Xia, and it is even more impossible for Ji Yanxin to ask his students.

Li Yue

Isn't this the same nature

"Did you listen to what I said?" Qi's mother who didn't get a response for a long time was furious.

Qi Nian's ears were buzzing so loudly, she took the phone half a meter away, rubbed her ears, and then put her back to her ears, "The signal was not good just now, what did you say?"

"I said you have to cherish yourself, don't be blind when you move out and live outside."

go blind...

Qi Nian silently remembered that in the car, Ji Yanxin's hand got under her pajamas, and then his warm fingers went up from her waist. Experience has been a milestone leap forward.

hang up the phone.

Qi Nian trotted all the way to the bathroom with his slippers on.

Qibao, who was happily biting the toy, had a meal, followed silently with the doll in his mouth, and lay at the bathroom door to join in the fun.

It's really fun...

A head was exposed and came in from the door, with a bulging toy in his mouth, his dark eyes seemed to be wet with water, and it was dark and bright.

What a beautiful dog.

Qi Nian washed his face with cold water to cool down.

Looking through the mirror, Qibao was about to leave, and he stopped him: "Qibao, I still want to brush my teeth, you accompany me."

Qibao turned his head and glanced at her, this time he stepped into the bathroom and waited for her on the carpet at the door.

so nice...

Qi Nian was about to be sprouted with blood.

She has nothing to do these days, and she has compiled a small story, the name of which is "On How to Capture the "Flower of High Mountains" of the Male God".

Be enthusiastic! kind! Very enthusiastic!

Um... Speaking of human words is... You must be thick-skinned.

After she finished drawing this extra review, she felt inexplicably... Her attributes were a bit similar to Qibao.

Enthusiastic (?) Well-behaved (?) Thoughtful (?) Cute (?) Not afraid of hitting the nails.

It's a pity that this appearance is the product after the cultivation has reached a positive result. She can only suppress the heart of letting the little angels praise and praise, and put it in the folder.

After washing, he got into the quilt. Qi Nian, who was used to sleeping late, didn't feel tired at all. He tossed and turned on the bed several times, but got up and sent a text message to Ji Yanxin.

"have you slept?"

After I finished posting, I chased after another: "Don't pay attention to me if you're busy."

After a few seconds.

Ji Yanxin: "There is still time to reply to my girlfriend's text messages."

Qi Nian buried his head in the quilt and rubbed it, the corners of his lips raised involuntarily, he glanced at "girlfriend" a second time, and rolled with satisfaction, "I can't sleep, can I... harass you?"

"Not now?"

Oops, Ji Yanxin's name is on the attribution name of these four characters, even if there is nothing, Qi Nian feels so pink.

She held her face and continued to roll over the bed.

swoosh—

A text message came in.

Qi Nian took a closer look, it was Ji Yanxin's class schedule.

Her young girl's heart was about to burst, and she couldn't be satisfied, "I received it! Can I continue to take the class? I will listen to the class obediently and take notes carefully!"

Ji Yanxin replied after a minute, "Then how do you want to please me?"

Qi Nian was dumbfounded.

Do you have to be nice enough to go to class

Qi Nian thought about it for a few minutes and tried several guesses, but Ji Yanxin passed them all without saying a word. Qi Nian racked his brains and couldn't guess what Ji Yanxin wanted.

In the end, she had to surrender, "Give me a hint?"

Ji Yanxin said concisely: "I think about it myself."

So, until Qi Nian thought about falling asleep... He couldn't ask the question that he had been brewing all night at the right time - how did Mr. Ji know that she was living in an apartment near the school tonight

Waking up in a daze, the sky was already bright.

Qi Nian pressed the alarm clock and struggled to get up from the bed.

Qibao was already lying beside the bed waiting for her to wake up. As soon as there was movement on the bed, it raised its head and made a low "woo" twice.

Qi Nian reluctantly opened his eyes a little, with a little pain, "I see, don't stay in bed..."

When did Qibao learn to wake Qi Nian, we have to start from the winter vacation...

When Qibao was brought home by Qi Nian, Qi Nian didn't dare to bother Qi's father and Qi's mother. Every morning at around nine o'clock, he would struggle to get up to walk the dog and feed him.

In the end, Qi's mother knew that she was distressed and that Qi Nian slept late, and used it to make up for sleep in the morning. Occasionally, Dad Qi would go for a walk with the dog, and he would feed Qibao good dog food.

After a long time, Qi's father was impatient, and when Qi's mother went shopping, he taught Qibao to wake up Qi Nian...

Hey, it's really a misstep to take care of yourself.

After walking the dog and feeding Qibao, Qi Nian went to the school to report.

The first day of school... She has many, many things to do.

For example: when Li Yue and Liu Xia's peacemaker.

The two people have been in a cold war for a long time, and no one will push it, it will really freeze into ice.

However, before Qi Nian went to find Liu Xia, she came first.

Looking at her serious expression, Qi Nian had a faint feeling in her heart, "What, what's wrong?"

There were not many people in the milk tea shop, so Liu Xia took her to the corner and sat down, with a solemn expression: "Someone ran to ask Teacher Ji if she was still single, but the last sentence, 'Can I chase you', was caught before I even asked. Mr. Ji stopped him by saying 'already have a girlfriend'."

She paused, looked worriedly at Qi Nian who couldn't return to God, and slowed down: "This time it should be true, I heard from my classmates that her husband was on a business trip in the United States, and saw Teacher Ji and a beautiful girl in a restaurant. The woman is eating…”

Qi Nian was stunned, "When?"

"Just a few days before school starts." Liu Xia tried her best to recall, "I don't know the exact time. When my classmate told me like a gossip, I didn't think it was good. My classmate said that her husband was in a hurry at that time. When I went to the meeting, I didn't come up to say hello, and left in a hurry, but today... Teacher Ji himself admitted it."

Qi Nian didn't speak.

There is no sadness in my heart...

Basically, what Liu Xia said has been characterized by her as a normal meal with colleagues.

Liu Xia looked at her with downcast eyes, always felt that Qi Nian was deeply hit now, sighed heavily, and reached out to touch Qi Nian's head, "Don't be sad, my sister has a dozen resources for being single, what do you want? So, what kind of major do you want? A good boy in our yard asked about it... "

Qi Nian took Liu Xia's hand and interrupted her, "Xia Xia, hit me lightly when I'm done."

Liu Xia maintained a smile and looked at her with a pure face, very gentle, "You said, how could I hit you now?"

Qi Nian took a big sip of the milk tea, and then said with a guilty conscience, "I'm probably... the one that Teacher Ji said... my girlfriend..."

Liu Xia said "um", but didn't understand, "Say it again."

Qi Nian looked at Liu Xia's gradually gloomy expression and didn't dare...

Liu Xia, who was about to be demonized, took a few deep breaths and tried to calm down, "I don't have auditory hallucinations, right?"

Qi Nian nodded stiffly.

"when?"

Qi Nian pointed at the finger, "On the night of the ninth day in the ancient city of Beixiang."

Liu Xia continued to take a deep breath, "Come on, call Teacher Ji now, whether it's to tell him I know about it or to ask him about the woman he ate with in the United States, call."

As for Qi Nian hiding from her, she was powerless to care. Anyone with a brain, thinking about the connection for a while, will know why Qi Nian didn't tell her in the first place.

Qi Nian shook his head and said, "He is very busy."

"Then you are not afraid that I will tear you apart now?"

Liu Xia simply wanted to confirm that, after all, whether Ji Yanxin was real with Qi Lai, the attitude of this phone call could be tested. She doesn't think about anything else, the only thing she has to think about is Qi Nian.

When Ji Yanxin received the call, he was making tea. He glanced at Professor Shen, who was squinting and sniffing the aroma of tea with enjoyment, and got up and went outside to answer the phone.

"Mr. Ji." There was Qi Nian's voice, which sounded a little weak, "That... Liu Xia knows."

Ji Yanxin was stunned for a moment, a little surprised, "You haven't told her yet?"

Now, it was Qi Nian's turn to be dumbfounded, "No... no..."

Ji Yanxin leaned back against the wall with a lazy voice: "You don't need to be so careful..." After a while, he seemed to be able to imagine how a student with a bad temper would embarrass her, and laughed a few times, "Tell Liu Xia , let her respect the teacher."

Respect your mother.

Respect my mother...

Qi Nian answered the phone, and the whole person instantly became petrified.

How dare Qi Nian really convey Ji Yanxin's words to Liu Xia, holding the phone, leaning against the back of the chair stiffly, responding with "hmmm" throughout the whole process, so guilty that he doesn't dare to look at Liu Xia .

When I hung up the phone, I felt that my back was soaked in cold sweat and it was chilly.

Liu Xia bit the pipe and stared at Qi Nian for a moment, until Qi Nian hung up the phone, she laughed twice, "I think don't call Li Yue tonight, let's go downstairs to your apartment. the BBQ stall for a meal.”

Qi Nian frowned, "But Li Yue has already come over..."

Not long after Qi Nian's voice fell, the bell at the door rang crisply along with the manager's clear "Welcome to the Milk Tea Shop".

The two looked at the sound.

Li Yue was standing at the door, his eyes seemed to penetrate the time, looking straight at Liu Xia.

have to!

Qi Nian finally breathed a sigh of relief, she could have escaped Liu Xia's torture tonight.

Qi Nian booked a box in advance for a new hot pot restaurant in front of the school.

The boxes are on the second floor, each box is separated by a separate sliding door, and the environment is quite good.

After ordering the dishes one by one, the embarrassment of staring at small eyes... spreads immediately.

This was the first time that three people had eaten hot pot together, but the audience was silent.

I don't know if it was because of the milk tea, Qi Nian's throat was a little uncomfortable. She had just cleared her throat, and the other two immediately looked up at her.

Qi Nian was stunned for a moment, pinched his throat and said in pain, "My throat is uncomfortable... Don't be nervous, don't be nervous."

Li Yue got up, straightened Qi Nian's teacup upside down on the table, lifted the teapot and poured water for her, "Drink some tea."

Qi Nian took it over and glanced at Liu Xia quietly, frowning with a headache when she saw that she was playing games with her head down, as if she didn't see anything.

You stinky girl... I'm obviously going to die of anxiety, and I'm still pretending to pretend!

She tilted her head to look at Li Yue, who was sitting opposite her.

There is plenty of heating in the box, and it gets a little hot after sitting for a while.

Li Yue hung the coat he took off on the back of the chair, and when he met Qi Nian's scrutinizing eyes, he was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

It's only been over half a month, and Li Yue looks a lot thinner, and his thin face is even more reduced under the outline of the light.

Qi Nian held the teacup and sighed, "Seeing that you have lost a lot of weight, no one will be distressed."

"Isn't it good to lose weight? If I gain weight again at my age, I can't control it." He also poured water into Liu Xia's tea cup, and moved his fingers over the bottom of the cup. A series of movements were done very naturally.

Qi Nian couldn't help pinching Liu Xia's thigh under the table.

Liu Xia frowned when she pinched her, moved her lips, and wanted to say something, but she didn't say anything.

This awkward atmosphere continued until the bottom of the pot was served.

Several people are not particularly fond of spicy food, so they ordered a clear soup pot bottom, put the ingredients to be eaten into the hot pot, Qi Nian took the celadon small plate and went to the self-service seasoning area at the entrance of the stairs to prepare the seasoning.

It was lunch time, and both the lobby on the first floor and the boxes on the second floor were very lively.

After Qi Nian finished preparing the seasoning, he went back with a small bottle of vinegar.

At the same time, Ji Yanxin went upstairs behind Professor Shen, and out of the corner of his eyes seemed to see a familiar figure. When Ji Yanxin turned to look, the corridor of the box was empty except for the warm-colored cabinet lights.

Back in the box, Qi Nian glanced at the two people's still indifferent expressions, sat down and just ate two mouthfuls of beef rolls.

Li Yue was about to get the bowl to prepare the seasoning, when Liu Xia first threw away the mobile phone, the speed was a bit fast, and the mobile phone hit the menu and made a neither light nor heavy sound.

Qi Nian was taken aback, thinking that Liu Xia had thrown the table, and quickly put the beef roll into his mouth and turned to look.

Liu Xia's face was a little unsightly, and her fingers grasping the edge of the bowl were so hard that her bones were clearly articulated. She stared at Li Yue for a few seconds, then pushed away the chair and walked out, "I'll go get some seasonings."

It wasn't until she went out that Qi Nian said, "...Oh." Then, looking at Li Yue who was still calm, not politely, "Is it really a cold war?"

Li Yue glanced at her, "If you hadn't beat your shoulders and raised your hand to swear that Liu Xia won't come tonight, I should be staying at home now."

He picked up Qi Nian's potatoes with a public slotted spoon, and said in a bad manner: "So, if you act rashly, I will not be polite to you."

Qi Nian was choked by his tone, and was stunned for a while, "So you think I'm nosy?"

Li Yue didn't say a word, sat back, and seriously ate a piece of lotus root.

Qi Nian's heart was suddenly filled, and she lowered her eyes, her hand holding the chopsticks trembled slightly, "Okay, I see."

After being so quiet for a while, Li Yue explained helplessly: "The matter between me and Liu Xia can't be solved by you asking us out for a meal. I've been in a bad temper recently and I've been talking too much..."

"It's okay." Qi Nian took a deep breath. She sat closest to the hot pot, and her eyes were a little sore from the steaming heat. She blinked and said several times, "It's okay."

When Liu Xia adjusted her mood and returned, her light footsteps slowed down when she entered the stagnant and heavy box. She hooked the chair and sat down again, and asked Qi Nian with her eyes: "What's wrong?"

Qi Nian shook his head, picked up the empty water cup and stood up, "I'll go to the boss to order plain water."

With such a non-technical excuse, it was thanks to her that she was serious.

Liu Xia glanced suspiciously at Li Yue, and when he reached out to pull her, he didn't even touch the corner of Qi Nian's clothes.

Qi Nian didn't wear a coat when he came out, and it was cold after standing in front of the bathroom for a while.

Luckily I brought my cell phone.

After hesitating for a few minutes, Qi Nian still sent a text message to Ji Yanxin.

Who told her to run out of nowhere... Now it's so boring!

Qi Nian: "Wang Wang Wang."

After posting it, I felt too stupid, I couldn't help scratching my head, even asking him if he ate it would be better than learning from Qibao...

Just thinking of making amends, Ji Yanxin called her directly.

Qi Nian was startled by the buzzing sound of the phone vibrating, she immediately stood up straight and picked it up in a hurry, "Mr. Ji, Teacher Ji?"

Ji Yanxin closed the box door, looked at the corridor on the left subconsciously, and asked, "Where is it?"

His deep and pleasant voice came through the electric current, and Qi Nian felt a little warm in his eyes. With her head against the wall, her fingers traced unconsciously on the tiles, "Outside..."

Sound a little low

He frowned and walked to the end of the corridor, "The specific location?"

Qi Nian didn't speak, and the phone was quiet for a few seconds.

The sound of his shallow breathing came through the receiver, Qi Nian's eyes were so hot, she closed her eyes, covered her eyes with her hands, and tried her best to endure the ridiculous grievances before she said: "Near the school, there are A new hot pot restaurant, it's delicious... I'm working on dinner, we'll wait..." More.

Ji Yanxin had already seen her, he stopped at the corner, paused for a while, then said lightly: "But your tone doesn't sound like hot pot is delicious."

disgusting…

Don't expose her.

Qi Nian gave a low "um" and changed the subject: "Have you eaten?"

"Eat." He stepped closer.

Qi Nian didn't want to hang up the phone, "Oh", and then whispered: "Tell you something, I told you not to hit me."

Ji Yanxin said "um" and walked behind her.

Qi Nian sighed and said solemnly, "Qibao... Qibao is at home, I haven't fed it yet."

As soon as he finished speaking, he was grabbed by the shoulders, hugged into his arms, and pressed his back against the warm chest of the man behind him.

Qi Nian's heartbeat suddenly missed a beat, and his heart was so frightened that it jumped out of his throat. He wanted to make a sound. In the next moment, he heard a familiar voice saying, "It's okay, go back and feed again."

The feeling of emptiness that was like riding on a roller coaster, suddenly being thrown into the cloud and suddenly falling from the top, made Qi Nian's legs go weak. She turned around suddenly and plunged into his arms, her voice trembling: " You, you, why are you silent?"

Ji Yanxin hugged her and said with a low smile, "Scared?"

Qi Nian lowered his head.

The tears that she had endured for a long time were almost forced out by him. She took a deep breath for a while before swallowing the bad emotions and withdrew from his arms, with some surprises and some incredulous, "Why are you here?"

"Blind date banquet," Ji Yanxin deliberately paused, and after seeing her face instantly turned into a bitter gourd, he added slowly, "It's Professor Shen's niece and Shao Zui."

Shao drunk

Qi Nian said silently, "but why do I think you are more likely..."

"I don't have a girlfriend anymore?" Ji Yanxin didn't want to continue this topic, he tapped her head with his fingers, "Your eyes are still red, don't you plan to tell me what happened?"

His tone was still cold, but inexplicably warmed Qi Nian's heart and felt very at ease. She immediately smiled and said, "It's okay, it just doesn't taste good, and I want to go home."

Don't want to say

Ji Yanxin squinted slightly, then lowered his head and stared at her dodging eyes, "Would you like to come with me?"

Qi Nian was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "It's not very convenient, is it?"

Blind date feast...

Although she was very curious, after all, in her opinion, Shao Zui and Ji Qiu... bah bah bah, Ji Qiu has just grown up, what is she thinking!

"Then next time, it's really inconvenient today." Ji Yanxin thought for a few seconds, "Go and put on your clothes, I'll go back and tell you and take you back."

Qi Nian was distracted for a moment. At the wonton stand in the ancient city of Beixiang, he said seriously that this relationship would not be made public at least until she graduated... Why is she cautious, but Ji Yanxin...

Seeing that she didn't leave, Ji Yanxin raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is there a problem?"

Qi Nian still had some concerns, "I came with Li Yue and Liu Xia..."

Ji Yanxin bent down slightly and looked at her.

The fresco behind her was reflected in those dark eyes, and the complex composition appeared in his eyes like a coquettish totem.

Qi Nian couldn't help but take a step back and stick it on the wall, "They... quarreled, if I... "

"So you worked?" he asked.

This question just stepped on Qi Nian's tail, she closed her mouth and shook her head gently.

Ji Yanxin scratched the tip of her nose with his fingers, and his voice was cold and low: "Do you still need me to ask whether it is my most important question?"

Ji Yanxin's question reminded Qi Nian of his high school history teacher. He asked angrily on the podium with a mock paper: "Isn't the historical event that marks the birth of mankind the manufacture of stone tools or bibimbap?"

Inexplicably there is... the same thing.

Qi Nian covered her blushing face since she came out of the hot pot restaurant, and couldn't help laughing.

Just after passing through an intersection with heavy traffic, Ji Yanxin glanced at her sideways. The fluffy scarf almost covered half of her face, revealing only the bridge of her nose and her dark, bright eyes.

It's too much for a person to steal fun like this... is it too much

It was rare for her to reflect on herself, and she glanced at him secretly. Seeing that he was looking at the road conditions in the rearview mirror, she suddenly remembered something.

Qi Nian taped the back of her cool hand to her face, cleared her throat, and asked as naturally as possible: "Mr. Ji, do you usually use Weibo?"

Ji Yanxin's eyes narrowed slightly, he turned to look at her, and lowered his voice: "What?"

Qi Nian shook his head, and the corners of his lips bent slightly under the scarf, hiding a little hidden joy.

When they went to pick up the car together, Ji Yanxin asked Qi Nian if he was full. She drank a large cup of milk tea in the afternoon, and ate a lot of hot pot. Although she didn't feel full, she didn't feel hungry either. She also remembered that Qibao was still hungry at home...

So, without a doubt, go home and feed the dog food first.

Originally... the word dog food doesn't mean anything...

But recently, Qi Nian mentioned Ji Yanxin on Weibo, and fifty percent of the little angels' comments were—

"Come on, let's make this bowl of dog food together."

Or, "The single dog grabbed a handful of dog food and stuffed it into his mouth..."

As a result, Qi Nian, who was still confused, was swiped by the little angels to popularize the new meaning of "dog food".

As a result, every time Qi Nian fed Qibao dog food, he would always be… impure.

Thinking of this, she was worried about whether Ji Yanxin had Weibo.

Although she feels that she has done such a good job of keeping secrets, it is impossible for Ji Yanxin to know her Weibo name at the moment.

but…

Every time I was reminded by the little angels that maybe the male god was diving and peeping at the screen, I somehow felt a little guilty.

Qi Nian tucked the scarf that covered half of his face, and thought to himself: Teacher Ji is so busy, shouldn't he play Weibo very much

"Then... what about WeChat?"

"No." Ji Yanxin parked the car in the temporary parking space in front of Qi Nian's apartment building. After pressing the handbrake, he peeled a piece of chocolate and fed it into her mouth, "Ji Qiu gave it to you."

Qi Nian was suddenly fed a piece of chocolate, stunned for a moment, and then regained his senses... He even forgot what he said, and his face just cooled down inexplicably hot again, "Oh", followed him and got out of the car .

City Z belongs to the south. It is so humid all year round as if it was fished out of the water. In summer, there can be thunderstorms almost every day. No matter how hot and suffocating the season is, it is a joy.

But once winter came, the water vapor in the air seemed to be tempered into ice arrows, and the coldness could penetrate into the bones through the body, especially the night in early spring, which seemed to be colder than the cold winter.

Qi Nian got out of the heated car, trembled all the way to the door of the house, stepped out of the elevator, Qi Nian hooked his backpack into his arms, took out the key and prepared to open the door.

When I looked up, I caught a glimpse of a delicate paper bag hanging on the door handle.

"Huh." She picked up the bag in surprise and glanced at it.

Seeing the bright red strawberries inside, I can immediately confirm the owner of this bag of strawberries - the little brother upstairs.

At noon, she came back to feed Qibao the dog food. She received a call from him saying that she wanted to receive a courier, and asked if Qi Nian was at home and could help pay in advance.

She didn't think much about it at the time, and the amount was not much. By the way, she helped to pay and put it in the locker downstairs, and gave him the password.

Unexpectedly... He delivered a bag of strawberries tonight.

She took the strawberry into her arms and used the key to open the door.

The scarf was too thick, and he was holding a bag of strawberries in his arms, blocking his vision.

Qi Nian failed to align the keyhole twice, just frowned, Ji Yanxin put it on, stretched out his hand from her side, leaned down, put his warm palm on the back of her hand, and held the key firmly inserted into the keyhole.

The key was turned a few times in his hand, and there was a soft sound of the lock popping open. He pressed down on the door handle, pushed the door open, and said, "Open."

His lips were right next to Qi Nian's ear, and the warm breath fell on Qi Nian's ear, itching...

Qi Nian lowered his head and only uttered the word "oh" for a while.

Blown up is the heating of the air conditioner.

It's been cold these two days, and Qibao doesn't like to sleep on the mat. Basically, the air conditioner is turned on and the temperature is kept constant throughout the day.

I was afraid that Qibao would be uncomfortable if it was too dry. During the day, Qi Nian would open the kitchen window to breathe, and put a humidifier in the room at night.

When Liu Xia came to help, he felt the treatment of Qibao, and almost didn't press Qi Nian on the sofa for a while.

It's a pity that she thought that the friendship of more than 20 years could not be described by ordinary words, and as a result, her treatment was not as good as that of a dog from Teacher Ji's family...

Seemingly hearing Qibao's voice, Qi Nian pressed his voice to call its name: "Qibao?"

Qibao had been lying on the front door, waiting for Qi Nian to come back. He had stood up from the sound of footsteps just now, and lowered his head to listen carefully to the sounds outside.

When he heard Qi Nian call it, the tail immediately wagged happily. When the door opened to a size that could accommodate it, it immediately jumped up like a fish with a wave of its tail, and put both claws on Qi Nian's arms with great familiarity.

Qi Nian took a step back after being hit by it, his knee hit the shoe rack at the door, and he bared his teeth in pain.

Ji Yanxin was standing behind Qi Nian, and only had time to raise his hand on her back, "I bumped into it?"

"It's okay." Qi Nian shook his head.

Ji Yanxin raised his hand and pulled Qi Bao from Qi Nian's arms, and suddenly saw Ji Yanxin, Qi Bao's tail wagged like a small electric motor, and rushed into Ji Yanxin's arms in a flash, sniffing around him affectionately with his nose.

But obviously...

Ji Yanxin didn't like his coquettish outfit so much.

Unceremoniously, he lifted Qibao down again, Ji Yanxin's slightly warning eyes were very effective in stopping Qibao from jumping up.

It gave an aggrieved "woo", and didn't dare to make trouble, so it obediently lay at his feet.

I looked up for a few seconds, stuck out my tongue and licked...

Qi Nian was so cute that his heart turned into a pool of water. When changing shoes, he squatted down and touched Qibao's head, "I'll go get Qibao dog food first, you can play with him for a while."

When Qibao heard "dog food", his ears twitched, he turned his head to look at Qi Nian, crawled forward, and tightly pressed Ji Yanxin's shoes with his claws.

That power, even Ji Yanxin, felt its force.

Ji Yanxin squatted down, put his slender fingers on its head and touched it lightly, the fingertips fell down its nose and touched it, it was wet and healthy.

He squeezed Qibao's jaw, made it open its mouth, and checked its teeth again.

"Miss me?" he asked in a low voice.

I touched its ear with my fingertips, pinched it, looked at the pitiful appearance of it trying to shake its ears but couldn't, and laughed twice.

Qibao looked at him with more innocent and pitiful eyes.

Pressing his head on his shoes, he rubbed it lightly. The soft light in the entrance illuminated Qibao's golden hair extra warmly.

Qi Nian had already mixed the dog food and sent it over. The rare thing was that it was the first time... the dog food seemed to be no longer attractive to Qibao. Qi Nian was still obediently lying at his feet, patiently being checked and petted by Ji Yanxin.

After touching his ear, Ji Yanxin patted its head, "Go ahead."

Qibao couldn't wait to get up.

Knowing that he likes to drink tea, when he came back this time, Qi Nian grabbed a can of Biluochun from Dad Qi and prepared it, but he didn't expect it to be used so quickly... After fiddling with the tea leaves, when the water boiled, he was not very relieved. Leaning out of the kitchen, he asked him, "What do you drink? Drink or tea?"

"Have tea?" Ji Yanxin glanced at her unexpectedly and followed into the kitchen.

Qi Nian stuck out his tongue, "With Biluochun, I don't know about you..."

"Yeah." He leaned over and watched her roll up her sleeves to wash the strawberries soaked in the small pot. The water-stained, bright red color was particularly appetizing under the light.

Qi Nian washed the strawberries one by one, thinking about what to send back to the little brother upstairs in two days... Otherwise, there would always be a feeling of being short-handed.

"Is the water cold?"

Ji Yanxin's voice sounded in Qi Nian's ears, and immediately, his slender fingers stretched out from her hand and dipped in water.

The sudden familiar breath... made Qi Nian's heart jump like a small deer.

"The water... not cold." She lowered her head and pretended to wash the strawberries seriously, "I mixed warm water, not cold..."

Ji Yanxin said "um", and put his hand back on the countertop. He bent down and rested his chin on her shoulder, "Do you like strawberries?"

"It's okay." Qi Nian's whole body froze suddenly, and he was a little nervous because of his actions. He went through this question in his mind and answered seriously, "Actually, I didn't like to eat when I was young, my grandma He is a restless person, and always likes to grow some fruits in the yard, such as grapes, strawberries, watermelons... um, many, many. But my grandma... the fruits grown are not very tasty, either sour or astringent... "

Ji Yanxin said lazily "Hmm", "What happened later?"

"Later, I was a guest at Xia Xia's house during the Chinese New Year... Auntie kindly stuffed me a handful, it was very sweet..." Qi Nian smiled embarrassedly, "I ate all the strawberries that day, and because This incident made Xia Xia cry."

Even now, when I think about it, Qi Nian still wants to sigh, the friendship when she was a little girl... It's really fragile.

Ji Yanxin's brows sank slightly, and he asked in a low voice, "Hang it at the door, who sent it?"

He quietly threw the question, but Qi Nian didn't notice it at all. He peeled off the green leaves, fed one to his mouth, and replied, "The little brother upstairs gave it."

Biting strawberries, her voice was a little muffled.

"Little brother is very nice. Apart from the old couple on the ground floor in this building, he is the one who I communicate with the most. When I was renting a house, because the key had not been handed over to the intermediary, there was no one downstairs, so the intermediary took me with me. I went to his house with my dad to see the layout, size and decoration. There is no place to dry clothes on his balcony, and the drying rod is outside the handrail, so the clothes fell off several times... I met after a visit."

Ji Yanxin was silent.

Only then did Qi Nian feel that the surrounding air seemed to be changing, but she couldn't even look at his expression in her current posture.

Qi Young coughed and tried his best to save: "But it's just normal communication between neighbors..."

Well…

I have delivered birthday cakes and vegetables, but after knowing that Qi Nian basically does not open fire at home, he changed it to deliver seasonal fruits.

But she didn't have the guts to tell Ji Yanxin to listen to these words as heartlessly as before.

Not tired of living...

still…

I didn't hear Ji Yanxin speak.

Qi Nian turned his head to look at him uneasily. Unexpectedly, just turned his head... He came closer, took her hand, and bit the half-bitten strawberry into his mouth.

His fingers were lightly rubbed against him, as if there was an electric shock, causing Qi Nian to froze in place...

What, what's the situation

Ji Yanxin looked down at her, his fingers resting on the bridge of her nose along the center of her eyebrows.

He seems to like this kind of action... Qi Nian has seen it several times, and he does the same to Qibao...

Qi Nian swallowed and looked at him nervously.

"Better?" he asked, his voice low.

Qi Nian understood the sentence without beginning and end, "No, no, I've always been in a good mood..."

"Then..." He looked at her and paused slightly, "Coax me?"
