I Really Want to Be With You

Chapter 22: An unforgettable past

Views:

Qi Nian huddled under the quilt, and soon became so stuffy that she couldn't breathe, but when she thought of Ji Yanxin, she waited for her to throw herself into the trap, and held back for a few more minutes...

Then, unable to hold back, he lifted the quilt and stuck his head out to breathe.

Between the breaths, there is a light and refreshing fragrance.

Because of the lack of oxygen and the sultry heat, her face was crimson, and her black eyes seemed to be glowing with water. They were wet and extremely bright. On the dark sheet, it looks like a fine silk on satin.

Ji Yanxin's Adam's apple rolled slightly, just about to get closer.

Qi Nian struggled to get his hands out of the quilt with some difficulty, raised them up, and hugged him. Those dark, wet eyes stared at him for a few seconds without blinking.

"You're not angry, are you?" Qi Nian asked.

Ji Yanxin didn't say "yes" or "no", but asked her, "I'm not curious how I know?"

Qi Nian thought back seriously.

She is 100% sure that she has always been careful and never revealed her pseudonym in the second dimension. Whether she was a little transparent at the beginning or a little famous now, she was very careful not to reveal any information about the third dimension in the era of the Internet .

After ruling out the possibility of accidentally leaking it, there are still a few possibilities: 1. Li Yue or Liu Xia leaked; 2. Ji Yanxin searched the Internet curiously; 3. Ji Qiu is a pig teammate...

The first possibility is very slim, the second... According to Ji Yanxin's character, it is unlikely, and according to Ji Qiu's reliable information and Qi Nian's close observation during this period.

Ji Yanxin's living habits are completely in line with the style of "veteran cadres".

The time for eating, sleeping and exercising is very regular, not even WeChat let alone Weibo. Apart from work, he rarely uses various electronic products such as computers and mobile phones... so that when Qi Nian is with him, he will refrain from touching his mobile phone.

Qi Nian thought for a while, and quickly locked the answer. She asked tentatively, "Did Ji Qiu tell you?"

shouldn't be...

At the beginning, she and Ji Qiu almost reached a unified tacit understanding, and never involved the second dimension in the third dimension. Ji Qiu's biggest measure so far is to post some "grass news" on Weibo, which is no different.

Ji Yanxin put his arm on her side and took Qi Nian out of the quilt, "When I was in the United States, I confiscated her mobile phone." After a pause, he put one hand on her waist and exerted a little force, Sitting on the bed with her.

Qi Nian sat on his lap, without any discomfort at the beginning.

Ji Yanxin didn't give specific details, "You are her special concern."

Qi Nian quickly recalled in her mind, from the New Year to the present... How many unsightly Weibo she had posted, what she could remember, and what was related to him... Basically, she was fooling him.

No wonder, he knew as soon as she moved back to the apartment next to the school.

Qi Nian sighed inwardly, resisting the urge to touch his forehead, "If you feel uncomfortable, I'll go back and delete it." When the words fell, he recognized his expression, raised his head and kissed his chin, "You said before. Yes, there are problems to communicate."

Ji Yanxin looked down at her and lowered his voice: "See how you coaxed me."

As soon as the words fell, Qi Nian immediately remembered how he taught her to... coax him at her house one night not long ago.

The blush that had just faded from her face spread up along her ears again, and at this moment, she could no longer match the "inhuman, indifferent and cool 'Flower of the High Ridge'" that Liu Xia had said when describing him.

She hesitated and said shyly, "I really want to..."

Before he finished asking, when he met his long, narrow eyes like ink, he seemed to be suddenly taken away from his breath, and looked at his deep eyes like a well with some fascination.

Qi Nian always knew that his eyes could always tempt her easily.

The hands around the back of his neck tightened slightly, Qi Nian licked his lips, slowly moved up, and kissed the corner of his lips.

Otherwise, just really push it down? You can kiss the ear, kiss the collarbone.

Thinking of this, she succeeded in making herself red again, and silently became warm-blooded.

She lowered her head, rubbed her forehead against his chin, and looked down at his half-exposed chest... She was a little stunned, but he had already done the unbuttoning by himself... ah.

Damn, she suddenly couldn't remember any of the "Bathroom Play", "Goblin War" and "French Kiss" that she had drawn, and her mind was full of where to touch...

She was quiet for too long, and Ji Yanxin's patience gradually ran out while waiting. He lowered his head, attached to her ear, and asked softly, "Do you want to teach?"

When the words fell, he lightly bit her ear, and his voice was charming: "Where do you want to kiss the most?"

Qi Nian was bitten by him and shivered. He felt his fingers tighten slightly on the back of his waist. He leaned into his arms, the tip of his nose rubbed against the collar of his shirt, and he smelled a very faint smell of tobacco.

"You... smoked today?"

"Huh?" He wondered for a moment, then remembered, "It's Shao Zui."

"Do you remember the hot pot restaurant near the school that day when the school started?" Ji Yanxin pulled his hand around her waist to withdraw.

The loose short sweater, because she was half-hanging on him, showed her waist, which was just convenient for him.

Ji Yanxin hugged her, pushed her back onto the bed, and slid his hands in along the hem of her clothes, "I'll do it myself, eh?"

The low hoarse voice hit her eardrums, causing Qi Nian's heartbeat to skip a beat, and the whole person was pulled by him uncontrollably.

She made a low "uh" sound, like protesting or surrendering, that soft voice... really annoying.

"Remember." Qi Nian said with some difficulty, and the hands around his neck couldn't help tightening. All that was left was the last bit of Qingming thinking about the smell of smoke from the collar of his shirt... The rest, following his fingers, shivered uncomfortably.

"Because it's Professor Shen's niece, he came over in person and smoked a few cigarettes at my place before leaving." Ji Yanxin lowered his head, kissed her lips, moved his finger behind her, and groped for the clasp.

Feeling what he was doing, Qi Nian's body froze, and his hands suddenly pressed against his shoulders.

"Relax." He was gentle and patient.

"Ji, Ji..."

Without giving her a chance to speak, Ji Yanxin kissed her repeatedly. Feeling her body soften, he kissed her neck and collarbone along the arc of her chin, asking for it without forgetting to point: "Is it possible?"

Qi Nian squinted his eyes, too tired to move, but his nerves were highly tense, he wanted to respond, but he didn't know how to respond.

Ji Yanxin turned back and kissed her lips.

The softness under his fingertips completely broke the tense string in his mind, "Would you like to stay tonight?" "Would you like to go back tonight?" The mouth is always scruples.

No, it's too early.

He closed his eyes, frowned slightly, stopped with some patience and restraint, hugged her and turned over, letting her lie on top of him.

"Qi Nian." His voice was almost hoarse.

Qi Nian opened his eyes in confusion and asked him, "Aren't you going to continue?"

Ji Yanxin smiled lowly, "Do you want me to continue?" His fingers were still lingering on her waist, itching slightly, ready to continue the attack.

Qi Nian wanted to bite his tongue in remorse, and wanted to get off his body in a panic. As soon as he moved, he pressed his waist hard and pressed the whole body into his arms.

Ji Yanxin frowned, his voice even more hoarse than before: "Don't move."

Needless to say, Qi Nian didn't dare to move.

"Have you told your parents about my affairs with you?" Ji Yanxin pinched her ear lightly, attracting her back.

Qi Nian was still concerned, and reluctantly answered his question: "I know, but I lied a little."

She looked into his eyes, always feeling that she would have to be held down by him again tonight... Coax him once more to settle these messes.

As she expected, he squinted his eyes slightly and stared at her a little unkindly, "Huh?"

Qi Nian immediately changed his mouth to cover up: "It's not a small lie, it just blurs the nature of your work."

Ji Yanxin understood it after thinking about it, was silent for a few seconds, and asked her, "Are you free on Sunday afternoon?"

Zhou Xinxin will come over tomorrow. She needs to accompany her around as a landlord, and then have a good talk about "Beauty should be repaired" in the evening.

The day after tomorrow... The day after tomorrow is a book order meeting. In the afternoon, Zhou Xinxin will take her to meet the editor-in-chief of the Z city branch.

"You're free," Qi Nian said after walking away, "Are you going on a date?"

Ji Yanxin's voice was still a bit depressing, he pondered for a moment and said, "Go home with me."

When the words fell, before Qi Nian thought about it, he added in time: "I will show you the old man."

Qi Nian, who was making up the dating scene, was caught off guard and petrified on the spot.

It's an hour after Qi Nian's confession on Weibo.

Do you want coriander? It's been an hour, great!

Love Seven Cubs Love Life: Why do I think we are not going to put out the fire... but adding fuel to the fire? I always feel that now she is standing at the desk of her male god like a big and small daughter-in-law, like an endorsement, explaining what she told him.

The rain didn't want to stop at all: maybe Da Da is now sitting on the desk in the arms of the male god... The desk slammed. The next one picks up.

Zixi: Dong Wan was hugged by the male god and sat on his lap, the chair banged. The next one picks up.

Tenacity and broad pull: home run thump. complete.

City B is foggy and the plane is delayed.

Qi Nian waited at the airport for more than an hour before receiving Zhou Xinxin.

It was not the first time that the two met. Qi Nian had accepted the company's invitation to attend the annual meeting. After the annual meeting, Zhou Xinxin stayed with her in City B for two more days.

Even now, it's only been a year.

Zhou Xinxin loosened the suitcase without being unfamiliar, plunged her head into Qi Nian's arms, and rubbed roguely, "Why does every time I see you, the deer bumps around like a girl in Huai Chun?"

Qi Nian and Zhou Xinxin have been together for so long, and their cheeks are so thick that King Kong can't wear them.

Zhou Xinxin couldn't hold back, she laughed out loud, "You little angels always thought I was the one who crushed you... As everyone knows, when you are face to face, I am completely a fan of you."

She muttered, her tone was a little bit of hatred of iron becoming steel.

Qi Nianren smiled and said, "Well, lunch is welcome, what would you like to eat, little fan?"

Zhou Xinxin immediately smiled, "Hotpot."

"Follow me to get the car first." Qi Nian took out his mobile phone and texted Ji Yanxin as he walked.

Although Qi Nian reassured last night that she had obtained her driver's license for more than a year and would have no problem on the road, Ji Yanxin was still worried about her.

Before she went out in the morning, she specially called to remind her to drive carefully, and when she got to the airport, she took the time to confirm whether she was safe. Qi Nian almost suspected that if he hadn't had a class today, he would have done it himself...

Zhou Xinxin glanced at the recipient, "Male god?"

Qi Nian said "um", put away the phone, "I have to report to the little lover."

Zhou Xinxin was shown a face without any precaution.

Five minutes later, Zhou Xinxin posted a new Weibo.

Xinxin_Zhou: As a fan of "Beauty", the first thing to do is to embrace the goddess for you. The second thing is to experience the "criminal scene" where Qizai fell in love at first sight after meeting Mr. J and Qibao for the first time.

Unsurprisingly, Zhou Xinxin's Weibo was frantically swiped by the little angels of the seven cubs who came from the wind.

Zhou Xinxin held her phone and laughed so hard, "Your little angels made me explode, not only yours, but also your male god, um... even Qibao didn't let go. Look, you handed it over yourself. Dry goods or am I trying to take pictures?"

Qi Nian glanced at her and killed her in one sentence: "Don't forget, you are still sitting in my car, eh?"

After dinner, Qi Nian sent Zhou Xinxin back to the hotel to put her luggage.

The original plan was to take Zhou Xinxin to walk around in the afternoon to experience the cultural landscape of Z City, but the two dead houses entered the hotel room with both heating and WiFi, and they were too lazy to go out.

We chatted until two o'clock in the afternoon and called for afternoon tea.

Zhou Xinxin solemnly took out a bulging folder and handed it over, "Actually, this time, the book order fair is not the most important thing, my boss asked me to get a contract to talk to you about the full copyright... "

Qi Nian took it.

The Crawfish Culture Development Co., Ltd., where Zhou Xinxin works, has one of the best positions in the industry. It not only specializes in physical book distribution, but also has a huge volume of comic magazines.

Qi Nian's pen name "Seven Cubs" was notorious in the circle because of his affair with Lu Qingwu. At that time, Zhou Xinxin withstood all the pressure and serialized her every issue of the magazine.

The strength on the ground and the popularity on the Internet are completely different existences. Qi Nian regained her place through the magazine serialization, then the author's column, the long comic serialization, and the first comic book listing... Zhou Xinxin provided her with the best resources, The best publicity channel.

This is the reason why Qi Nian has never given up on the vines even though she has encountered the temptation of high prices in the past two years. Zhou Xinxin has never bound her with these kindnesses.

At the annual meeting of the vines, Zhou Xinxin accompanies her to sleep in the hotel. The two of them watched dramas until very late. They were sleepy and couldn't sleep. They didn't know who started the drama. They recalled these years.

Zhou Xinxin answered her pretending not to care: "You are the first comic writer I run, but it's not adversity that can test my ability? And I know that you were framed by Lu Qingwu, who can't be on the table, why? Maybe I won't give you a hand..." After a pause, she turned her head and smiled brightly, "I'm your die-hard fan, Seven Cubs."

But Qi Nian knew that she spoke lightly, but no one could give her that sincerity without reservation.

Qi Nian is in a daze.

Zhou Xinxin raised her hand and waved in front of her, "What's the matter? The conditions are so good that you are stunned?"

Seeing Qi Nian's dark eyes look over, Zhou Xinxin fed the cut dragon fruit into her mouth, and said vaguely while biting, "I don't agree with your signing, but the boss explained this task and I will again. It’s not good to talk to you seriously. I think a large part of this contract is because of your commercial value, and I want to get a share of you without any effort.”

Qi Nian licked his dry lips, got up and opened the window to breathe, "Commercial value... How can I remember that you said some time ago that I was unpromising, and that it would disappear for no reason if I couldn't update it? , you are going to induce vomiting every day, and the year-end bonus will be paid for me."

Zhou Xinxin scratched her hair in embarrassment, not too daring to confirm, "What did I say? How could I say that to you!"

Qi Nian snorted, and broke her fingers to settle accounts with her after Qiuhou, "More than that... What little goblin, a ten thousand year draft turtle, A Dou who can't help, and a big sloth who deserves to be buried at the bottom of the pit without a pit."

Qi Nian raised his eyes, imitating Ji Yanxin's half-smile expression, and asked gently, "Do you want to continue counting?"

Zhou Xinxin was about to break out in cold sweat. She touched her nose silently, feeling guilty, "Look, it's rare to see each other once, so why bother to fight each other, right? That..."

She paused and changed the subject as seriously as possible: "Let's talk about the publicity plan of "Beauty" first, the magazine is already serializing it, and it is being done as a grand opening for the new year. Living."

When Qi Nian returned home last night, she remembered that she didn't discuss important matters with Ji Yanxin. She thought about it all night, and now she has made a decision. After pondering for a while, she whispered, "Actually, you know that I don't really want to, the works Whether it is Party A or Party B, it is the beneficiary of the big heat. You see, the current publicity has been effective as soon as it has been done... But Xinxin, you don't know what I'm afraid of. "

Zhou Xinxin pursed her lips, nodded understandingly, and said, "I know."

"You don't know." Qi Nianqu raised his hand, sat up straight, and looked at her intently, "I like it, care about it, and cherish it, so I'm very afraid that the popularity of the work will affect my current life."

Zhou Xinxin opened her mouth, and what she wanted to say came to her mouth, but she didn't say it.

The words to convince her that she had thought up on the plane before, could no longer be said when she met her serious and firm eyes.

She was in a heavy heart, but Qi Nian burst out laughing, "Really?"

Zhou Xinxin: "… "

Three seconds later, Zhou Xinxin violently beat up.

Qi Nian made a fuss like this, and Zhou Xinxin lost her interest in talking about business. She pinched the swollen back of her neck and asked Qi Nian to take her to the toothbrush festival. They ate Hanlin barbecue at Xingguang Plaza near Metro Line 7. , while eating, I finished talking about the business that I just put aside.

Cinderella agrees with Qi Nian on the packaging and promotion of "Beauty Yi Xiu", and the fact that "Beauty Yi Xiu" is her personal experience cannot be erased, and Ji Yanxin's attitude is also very clear. The decision of the year does not interfere.

If Qi Nian was hesitant at first, now he has a lot less scruples. Except for asking for a delay of half a year, there is no other opinion.

For Zhou Xinxin... Qi Nian's remarks surprised her.

"Aren't you afraid that you will be fleshed out after it's really hot? Some curious fans... do."

"I'm going to intern next semester." Qi Nian stuffed a mouthful of meat into his mouth, his voice muffled, "I was worried that my male god would not accept it, but last night I felt like he... didn't care much either."

Zhou Xinxin's eyes lit up suddenly, and her heart of gossip ignited, "Did you guys slam the walls and cabinets and chairs last night?"

Qi Nian suddenly choked on a mouthful of meat and was out of breath.

Can we stop discussing such irritating topics while eating!

It was still early. After dinner, Qi Nian led Zhou Xinxin to circle around Xingguang Square.

Xingguang Plaza is located in the city center and is the most prosperous area in Z City, where you can often see small performances or commercial activities.

I just happened to have a wedding show today.

The host on the stage was enthusiastically stirring up the atmosphere of the scene, and all the buzzing in his ears were messy voices.

Zhou Xinxin watched with great joy, and even took the lead in the lottery, and really got her a grand prize—a set of Chinese-style dresses.

From childhood to adulthood, Qi Nian, who always thanked him for participating, was always stunned in the audience, whether it was a supermarket ticket lottery or a cram school renewal report. Isn't it a good luck to come here casually

Zhou Xinxin replied contentedly: "I have been lucky since I was a child."

Seeing that Qi Nian didn't believe it, she gave an example: "Really. After I work... Every time I participate in the lottery at the annual meeting, basically all the ultimate prizes of the annual meeting will go into my pocket. In the first year Apple 4S, this year's Apple iPad Pro... my colleagues hate me."

These, Zhou Xinxin really did not tell lies.

Qi Nian still remembered that after each annual meeting, she would secretly find her to guess what prize she had drawn tonight. Regardless of whether Qi Nian guessed right or not, in the end, Zhou Xinxin was maliciously showing off her character... I was so envious that I wanted to roll my face over the keyboard for a few rounds.

"What's there to envy?" Zhou Xinxin stared at her, "God probably put all my luck in finding a good boyfriend on the lottery." She stuffed the gift box into her arms, "I don't have a boyfriend, I'll give it to you. already."

Qi Nian was stunned when the gift box was forcibly stuffed, "What does this have to do with having a boyfriend?"

With a face of "Why don't you understand", Zhou Xinxin smiled slyly, "Tonight, wear this and turn around in front of your male god. Remember, you must be shy and timid, and follow Like the innocent little lily who doesn't understand anything, nodding and curling her lips are full of style, and then..."

Qi Nian couldn't help interrupting her: "Do you want pure love that doesn't understand anything or... full style?"

"Tsk." Zhou Xinxin was dissatisfied, "Do you like your male god like a savage little wild cat or a pure school girl, you ask me?"

Qi Nian: "..."

Why did the topic suddenly become... dirty

So, from the temporary parking space on the side of the road all the way from Xingguang Plaza, Zhou Xinxin's topic of "how to push down the male god quietly" never stopped.

For example: "You must be slow when you turn in circles, and make a ripple in the skirt. Have you seen that which is passed down by the goddess? It turns like a flower..."

"Don't tie the button on your top, show it, and then see the male god, blushing, pressing the neckline. It must not be really pressed to death, revealing your groove. Tsk tsk, I am a woman, I have to be hard. now…”

Qi Nian caresses his forehead.

If it hadn't been forcibly taken away by covering his mouth, it would have attracted more attention. If he was stunned, he wouldn't be able to drag him away... Qi Nian really wanted to do this.

After closing the car door, Qi Nian reminded Zhou Xinxin, who was still eloquent, to fasten her seat belt, "I'll take you back to the hotel first, and then I'll go home."

Zhou Xinxin was dumbfounded, "It's still early, don't you plan to make an appointment with your male god?"

It's nine o'clock... Where is it early

Qi Nian sighed in his heart, and said in a low voice, "You underestimated your weight in my heart. I told him last night that I would completely belong to you in the next two days, so we won't see each other for two days."

"You didn't say it earlier" with a look on Zhou Xinxin's face, "I'm so blind in framing the situation tonight, right?"

Qi Nian is looking at the rearview mirror to observe the road conditions.

The parking space in Xingguang Plaza was tight, almost as soon as Qi Nian moved to go out, he followed a Volkswagen.

She frowned and backed the car carefully. Just as she moved out of the parking space, before she could breathe a sigh of relief, a red sedan, which Qi Nian didn't know what it was, suddenly came up.

With a muffled sound of collision, Qi Nian looked at Zhou Xinxin in surprise, "This is... a collision?"

Qi Nian hasn't reacted yet. The red car that collided with has stepped out of a man who looked very gentle with glasses. He walked to the front of the car and glanced at the bumper where a piece of paint had been scraped off. He was displeased. He walked up and slammed the door.

Qi Nian closed his eyes, motioned Zhou Xinxin to wait in the car, and got out of the car to have a look first.

When the car owner saw that it was a young female driver, the originally displeased expression added a hint of sarcasm, "You rubbed my car, tell me, what should I do?"

Qi Nian almost doubted his ears, "Why did I rub against your car? I just fell out of the parking space, and the car didn't even move. You bumped into me when you turned around..."

The gentle-looking man smiled coldly, "Are you wrong? You didn't look when you were reversing and rubbed my car. Why did I wrong you, a little girl?"

So, such a traffic accident that could be solved in ten minutes, because of the owner's reversal of black and white, and a strong request to be private, the confrontation has not been resolved for half an hour.

Zhou Xinxin heard her blood pressure soaring on the side, and after holding back her anger for half an hour, she was completely blown up after seeing the other car owner threateningly calling her friend to come over and "help" to solve the problem, "You are a big man, don't you have shame? It's the first time I know how to write the word 'shameless' when I grow up so big."

Qi Nian pressed his aching eyebrows, pinched Zhou Xinxin's shoulder lightly, and whispered, "I'll go to the car and get my phone to make a call."

Probably because Qi Nian had no chance of winning even if he moved to rescue the soldiers. The owner of the car was very calm and didn't even look at them. He lowered his head and fiddled with his mobile phone.

Ji Yanxin had just finished taking a shower. After receiving the call for help from Qi Nian, he put on his clothes and trousers and listened to her explain the ins and outs. When she explained the whole thing, she frowned when she was asked by the other scoundrel to lose money privately, and interrupted softly, "Are you alright?"

It was the first time that Qi Nian encountered such a thing, and it was a lie to say that he was not flustered. When talking to him, the strings were always in his mind, and he tried his best to explain things as concisely and clearly as possible in a steady voice.

But being interrupted by him like this, suddenly there is... unspeakable sourness and grievances.

After a while, she shook her head and said, "I'm fine."

Ji Yanxin asked for the address, put on a collar for Qibao, who was woken up and approached in a drowsiness, then buckled the leash, took the key and went out.

The subway exit of Line 7 is not far from his apartment, a few minutes away.

The parking spaces in this temporary parking lot are a bit biased, and no one usually manages them. Several people have been deadlocked here for more than half an hour without seeing anyone to assist.

Qi Nian was cold after standing for a long time, and was still in a trance. Zhou Xinxin squeezed her hand hard, and before she turned her head, she heard her suppressed and surprised voice: "Oh, that's Qibao? Ahhh... That's Qibao and your male god?"

Qi Nian turned his head to look, just in time to meet Ji Yanxin's gaze, deep and cold.

Zhou Xinxin was still scratching the back of her hand, almost falling into a nympho situation.

No, no, no... so handsome! For the first time, Zhou Xinxin felt that a man with long legs should wear such a restrained and gentleman's long coat, especially Qi Nian's man was holding a big golden retriever with his head held high and majestic in his hand. oh sky...

Damn, if two people really appear in the same frame, "Beauty should be repaired" still needs to be promoted? With just this appearance and the ability to attract fans of comics, there is no problem in selling for five years...

When the owner of the other party saw that the owner was coming, he finally restrained his attitude, put away his mobile phone, and still said in a cold voice: "It's good to come, come and see, your little girlfriend rubbed my car and is not willing to take responsibility. , I spent half an hour with me, and I'm still in a hurry to go back to the company."

Qi Nian was dumbfounded.

He also said just now, "Anyway, I have nothing to do tonight. If you don't admit that you are unwilling to be responsible, we will be fine here tonight."

Ji Yanxin glanced at him lightly, his eyes were cold and thin when he was not emotional, and just a glance made the other party realize... This person is not easy to deal with.

Qibao shared the enemy, scratching the ground with his front claws, and barked a few times at him fiercely.

The large dog's voice was low and loud, especially when he brought a little warning, the threatening sound of "woo woo" was forced out of his throat, which really... made Qi Nian look at him with admiration.

Ji Yanxin bent the corners of his lower lips, his smile was only for a moment, and he walked up to her.

Look at people first, people are fine, and relieved.

He handed over the leash, and when Qi Nian took it, he held his hand and probed it, and it was so cold that it was freezing.

Ji Yanxin frowned secretly, squeezed it hard, released it, "Go and stay in the car."

Qi Nian's nose was red from the cold, and wrapped in his warm palm, he raised his head and looked at him, biting his ear in a low voice: "This person looks at Sven, but he's a rogue, and he even threatens me not to find him. The traffic police insisted on losing money privately…”

After a pause, Qi Nian took a breath. Those watery eyes were particularly bright under the light of the street lamp, "I didn't bump into him, he rubbed against him, don't be taken advantage of."

Ji Yanxin listened carefully and said, "Yeah", "Only you can take advantage of me."

Qi Nian was stunned, looking at his serious expression and his tone that didn't seem like a joke at all, as if he was bitten by him, his ears warmed, and he hurriedly pulled Zhou Xinxin back to the car.

Zhou Xinxin stood far away and couldn't hear very clearly. Pulled back to the car by Qi Nian, he excitedly held her hand, "Your male god is so handsome.

"Qibao is also handsome.

"You three are so eye-catching.

"No way, I've been recovering blood for a long time, and the blood tank is still empty.

"I'm going to burst my heart just looking at you two girls looking at me..."

Zhou Xinxin was still chattering, Qi Nian patted Qibao on the head, "Qibao, tell her to shut up."

Qibao raised his head, stood up, and threw himself into Zhou Xinxin's arms. His two front claws were placed on Zhou Xinxin's arms with incomparable precision, then he leaned over and rubbed his head...

Instantly quiet.

Zhou Xinxin is so cute... she can't speak at all.

Qi Nian was also worried about how Ji Yanxin would solve it. Through the car window, he saw him bent over and looked at the place where the two cars were smashed. He didn't know what to say, and the other car owner's expression seemed to be a little stiff.

It didn't take long for the other party's car owner to get into the car in despair, and when he came out again, he flipped through his wallet and handed Ji Yanxin the money... The predicament that had stuck Qi Nian for more than half an hour was resolved in a few seconds.

Qi Nian was simply dumbfounded.

Is it because she looks bullied...

After the matter is settled, it is not too early, so send Zhou Xinxin back to the hotel to rest.

Although what happened tonight was an accident, Qi Nian felt that he still had to explain it to Ji Yanxin carefully, so he looked at the scenery along the road leading to his apartment, and didn't make a sound.

The night is already deep.

The underground parking lot was so quiet that only the sound of the wheels rolling over the ground was so clear that it pressed against Qi Nian's eardrums.

Qi Nian's eyelids twitched, and he asked uncertainly, "Tonight I..."

Ji Yanxin glanced at her and replied, "Stay with me."

live with him

She hadn't thought about really pushing him, she wasn't mentally prepared at all...

Qi Nian's scalp was numb, "Ah? Wouldn't it be too... good?" After a pause, she remembered an excellent reason, her eyes lit up, "Ji Qiu, doesn't Ji Qiu still live at your house? It would be a very bad example to be seen."

Ji Yanxin parked the car in the parking space and turned off the engine.

"Aren't we going to the book order fair tomorrow?" he asked.

The topic changed so quickly.

Qi Nian nodded, "Well, tomorrow afternoon."

"There is no class on the weekend, I'll take you there." Ji Yanxin unfastened his seat belt, hooked his fingers at her, and motioned for Qi Nian to sit over, "Let me hug you."

Qi Nian didn't let go of the seat belt, and she was still calm on the surface, but her fluttering eyes and a somewhat empty tone all showed the grandeur of her heart, "Just, I haven't finished what I said just now."

Ji Yanxin made a perfunctory "um", leaned slightly, and unfastened her seat belt, "Sit over and continue talking."

Qi Nian twisted and licked his lips embarrassedly, "I'm shy."

Ji Yanxin couldn't help laughing and offered two choices, "Should I sit with you or do you come by yourself?"

Qi Nian hesitated, "Let's do it yourself..."

She sat down, and when she sat on his lap, her face was already red, and she didn't even know how to say anything, so she lowered her eyes to look at the first button on his coat.

Ji Yanxin adjusted the seat back, took her hand and probed it, it was warm.

"Ji Qiu didn't come this week." Ji Yanxin clasped her fingers slowly, "Stay in the guest room at night, and I'll take you there tomorrow."

After thinking about it, he added: "Don't worry about your driving."

Qi Nian wanted to say that tonight's accident was really an accident and had nothing to do with her, but looking at him in the dim parking lot, his eyes were so deep that he seemed to be unable to see the end, and he swallowed the words that came to his lips.

Nodding his head, Qi Nian said "um", "I live in a guest room."

"You sleep in the master bedroom." Qi Nian said again.

Ji Yanxin wrapped his arms around her waist and hugged her into his arms. He leaned against her shoulder, sniffed her hair, and made a dull "um".

Looks like he doesn't want to talk anymore.

Qi Nian was quiet for a while and didn't dare to move, but remembering Ji Qiu, he couldn't help but ask, "Why didn't Ji Qiu come this week? Are you feeling unwell?"

Ji Qiu's weekends were filled with various cram schools. Usually, after school every Friday, Ji Yanxin would pick her up. Later, when Ji Qiu found out that they were together, Qi Nian also went to pick it up.

There is not a time when it will not come.

Ji Yanxin patted Qi Nian's head lightly, and replied casually, "It won't come again in the future."

Qi Nian asked in surprise, "Why?"

Ji Yanxin let go of her slightly, raised his eyes to look at her, and replied, "Because I have a girlfriend, she is inconvenient to make out." After he finished speaking, he narrowed his eyes slightly, curled the corners of his lips, and touched her ear. , "Do you know what intimacy is?"

His fingers were a little hot, and when he rubbed against her earlobe, Qi Nian's ears turned red with just a few strokes.

Qi Nian avoided his eyes, stared at his neckline, shook his head, and pretended to be stupid.

She lowered her eyes, but she did not hide her eyes, which were like ripples.

Ji Yanxin watched for a while, feeling the heat from her earlobe on the fingertips, lowered his head and leaned over, found her lips, and kissed it.

Some dry, some cool, but extra soft.

Ji Yanxin's breathing was gradually disturbed. He loosened Qi Nian's earlobe, put his hand behind her head, and approached, kissing her until she couldn't breathe, and then he retreated a little.

Qibao in the back seat was already lying down completely, only occasionally looking up.

The so-called dog abuse, this is... worthy of the name.

Those beautiful eyes were close at hand, and they looked at her with deep and gloomy eyes, and lowered their voice, with a hoarse voice: "Do you know now?"

Feeling that he was about to move, Qi Nian covered his mouth and kept nodding, "Got it."

The muffled voice was indistinct, but unexpectedly stirred Ji Yanxin.

He lowered his head, rubbed the tip of his nose lightly against hers, bit the back of her hand lightly, without any force, like a feather, he touched Qi Nian's fragile heart.

Just when her defense line collapsed a little bit, Qi Nian's mind flashed, and suddenly a not-so-good idea popped up. She put her fingers against his lips with her backhand, her eyes were astonishingly bright, "Then Ji Qiu goes back to live... Didn't the old man know?"

Ji Yanxin pulled her hand down and put it in his palm, and asked, "Shouldn't you know?"

"No..." Afraid of his misinterpretation, Qi Nian thought about it a few times and explained, "Don't you say it's inconvenient to make out? If the old man thinks the same way, then I..." Wouldn't it be shameful to see people!

Obviously nothing has been done.

Ji Yanxin gave a low laugh and asked, "What should I do? I've done things tonight, so I won't be wronged if I don't."

He understated one sentence, which made Qi Nian's face blushed completely, as if the air in the car was about to be ignited, and it was so hot that he panicked.

Ji Yanxin admired her splendid expression at the moment, covered his lips and let out a low laugh. Just as he was about to let her off the bus, the phone she placed on the center armrest lit up.

Ji Yanxin picked it up and handed it to her: "WeChat."

Qi Nianjian saw that it was sent by Zhou Xinxin, "Huh", and swiped to check.

Zhou Xinxin: "Cub, don't forget to make full use of the dress I gave you and wear it to the male god! If I can knock down your male god, I can only help you here."

After Qi Nian glanced over, he noticed that Ji Yanxin's eyes were also falling, and immediately hid his mobile phone in a hurry, but unfortunately, it was still too late...

Ji Yanxin held her hand, took the phone from her palm with ease, and asked casually, "What dress do you want to wear to me?"

For a moment, Qi Nian really wanted to strangle Zhou Xinxin to death.

On a rare Saturday, Qi Nian slept without any pressure and woke up naturally.

The curtains were drawn in the room, and it was a little dark. Only when the sunlight came through, there was a very soft velvet light.

Qi Nian sat up while rubbing her slightly aching forehead, her mind was a little dizzy. After looking at the completely unfamiliar furniture, her mind went blank for a while, before she remembered... I slept in the guest room of Ji Yanxin's apartment last night.

Still in a trance, the mobile phone that was charging on the bedside table began to continuously emit a new message on WeChat.

Qi Nian pushed back the hair that was scattered on his forehead, pressed it with one hand, and leaned over to look at his phone.

Without exception, all of them are Zhou Xinxin's WeChat...

Zhou Xinxin: "My dear Wuli, are you awake?"

Zhou Xinxin: "It's nine o'clock and I haven't woken up yet? How intense was the battle last night..."

Zhou Xinxin: "Hey, cubs, seven cubs, every year, every year, seven cubs are big, um~ coquettish face. They are your brain-crazy fans, get up and feed dog food!"

dog food...

Qi Nian buried his face in the soft quilt and took a deep breath.

Apart from being mocked by Ji Yanxin for the whole night... nothing happened, really... shameful to death.

The knock on the door rang twice rhythmically, and behind the door was Ji Yanxin's cold voice asking, "Awake?"

After not hearing an answer for a long time, Ji Yanxin lowered his head and glanced at Qibao, who was on guard, and lightly kicked its tail, indicating that the information was wrong.

Qibao grunted a few times, raised his paws and patted the door.

At this moment, the people in the room finally responded: "Wake up."

Ji Yanxin raised his eyebrows slightly, "Get ready and come out for breakfast."

Qi Nian said "oh", stopped dawdling, and got up to clean up.

After breakfast, Ji Yanxin took her back to the apartment to change clothes.

In the afternoon, Zhou Xinxin will introduce the editor-in-chief to Qi Nian. In addition, he will inevitably meet fellow cartoonists and managers. It is better to be more formal.

On the way back, because of some embarrassment, Qi Nian kept his head down and chatted with Zhou Xinxin on WeChat since he got in the car.

Ji Yanxin glanced at her several times, but she pretended not to see it.

There are two intersections to the community, Ji Yanxin glanced at someone with an ostrich mentality, and asked, "Don't plan to talk to me?"

Qi Nian pretended to be stupid and said "Ah", "No."

After getting out of the car last night, Qi Nian came into the house with a gift box like a hot potato, and hurriedly changed his shoes. As a result, he almost stepped on Qibao's tail because of his rush.

Of course, these are little episodes.

What made Qi Nian so embarrassed was the scene that happened later...

After Qi Nian took a bath, he took it apart and put it on because he was curious about the appearance of this Chinese dress.

Who would have thought that when the door was not closed properly, Qibao pushed in and followed behind... Ji Yanxin!

Just when she was dying of shame and anger, Ji Yanxin calmly put the milk on the bedside table, and left a sentence in a clearly smiling voice: "It's pretty, go to bed early."

Just... go! gone!

She swears.

Ji Yanxin must have misunderstood!

Qi Nian sighed secretly, playing with the phone absentmindedly: "At night... don't use it to pick me up."

Ji Yanxin nodded, "You said it three times."

"…" Yes, yes? Did she say it three times

Already at the gate of the community, Ji Yanxin slowed down his car and stopped in front of the apartment building, "Do you want me to go up with you?"

Qi Nian hurriedly shook his head and said, "I'll change clothes and come down soon!"

While speaking, she turned to open the door.

As soon as the hand was touching, a soft sound was heard, and the door was locked.

At the same time, Ji Yanxin's slightly cool voice also sounded: "Turn around."

Qi Nian froze for a while before turning his head to look at him.

"Do you want to talk?" The heater in the car was running a little too high, and it was too hot. He unbuttoned the top two buttons of his shirt, and some uncomfortably pulled open the collar.

While doing this, the dark and gloomy eyes never left her.

Qi Nian couldn't take his eyes off it. After a long while, he looked away. He lowered his head and clenched his fingers. His voice was inaudible: "What are you talking about?"

Ji Yanxin seriously recalled, "Since we chatted last night." After a pause, he asked tentatively, "Because I didn't respond to you?"

back, respond

what the hell is that...

Qi Nian looked up at him, a little stunned.

Could it be that he thought she was so unmotivated because she failed to push him down

What a big injustice!

"No?" Ji Yanxin frowned slightly, the interest in his eyes was well concealed by him, and he did not let Qi Nian find out, "Is that the words of praise are not in place?"

"No." Qi Nian denied it, admitting embarrassedly, "It's me who is embarrassed."

"What's wrong?"

Qi Nian bit her lip, "Girls like to try new clothes. I didn't wear them for you last night, you..."

Is that the reason

Ji Yanxin frowned slightly. He thought about it all morning, but he didn't think it was the problem. He breathed a sigh of relief. He fiddled with the air outlet of the air conditioner. House rules."

Qi Nian couldn't keep up with the rhythm of his changing topic.

Ji Yanxin lowered his eyes and chuckled, "You can't go beyond the rules before marriage."

That voice was low and deep, clearly pointing out the facts objectively and calmly, but it made Qi Nian feel so playful.

Don't go overboard before marriage...

What kind of house rules

Qi Nian didn't understand why he suddenly turned to the topic of family rules at first, but only when he got in touch with the context... He was saying very vaguely that if he didn't leave at that time, he would be... out of line

Thinking of this, Qi Nian felt a familiar burning sensation in his ears. She covered her face and calmly said "Oh" for a long time before pointing to the door, "I... I'll go upstairs to change clothes first."

Ji Yanxin unlocked the lock and saw her hurriedly opening the door and getting out of the car. She had already stepped on the steps and went around again, asking with a blushing face, "Then, then you and your ex-girlfriend..."

Ji Yanxin looked at her and asked, his whole face was flushed red, he secretly thought it was funny, but he didn't dare to show it, for fear that with such a smile, this thin-skinned guy would shrink into the turtle shell again.

Speaking of... Qi Nian didn't realize that when Qi Nian was shy about his presence before, it turned out that she was so easy to be shy.

But looking at her expression of being so nervous and wanting to know, she couldn't help but laughed softly, "There are some things, I'll just do it with you."

Qi Nian thought about many kinds of his answers, such as "Qi Nian, that's over", "Do you think that's important?" and so on, but he just didn't expect it to be like this.

I don't know what to answer, and I'm afraid of digging a hole for myself.

Qi Nian quickly closed the door, pinched his ears, and jumped into the apartment building a few times.

too hot too hot...

His face must have turned red.

She silently looked at the metal mirrors on both sides of the elevator and covered her face weakly.

Why... so red!

Isn't it... Just ask your ex, why are you shy!

Stamping her feet, she got into the elevator headfirst, and she can't remember what she had just done...

Book order fairs are usually called "annual publication targets" in the industry. For the publishing industry, it is an annual feast of prosperity.

Under the recommendation of Zhou Xinxin, Qi Nian met the editor-in-chief of the Cine Grass branch and a heavyweight broker.

She is not good at socializing, and doesn't like to expose too much as a "seven cub". After a brief acquaintance, she found an excuse to sneak out and hang out.

During the exhibition, many exhibition halls have new book launches, and some, like Rongpin Culture Co., Ltd., will invite their well-known writers and cartoonists to attend.

Zhou Xinxin finished talking about business here, raised her wrist to check the time, only to realize that Qi Nian had been gone for a while.

Recalling that the agent mentioned that Lu Qingwu had a new book launch at the Rongpin Exhibition Hall just now, he felt a little uneasy in his heart, and he still couldn't sit still. Zhou Xinxin was so worried that he called Qi Nian.

Zhou Xinxin: "Hello? Qi Nian."

Qi Nian said "um", keeping his eyes on the written introduction, "Can you go?"

"Why so fast?" Zhou Xinxin cleared her throat and avoided the corner, "Lu Qingwu has a new book launch at Rongpin, you must avoid it, don't run into it, so as not to see her disgusting. You can't eat dinner."

Qi Nian was amused by Zhou Xinxin's description, and turned around to go to the next exhibition hall. When he looked up, the smile on his face suddenly collapsed.

She knew before that Lu Qing dance would appear at the book ordering fair, but she still held it... Such a big venue, she deliberately avoided the chance that she would meet, but didn't take it to heart at all.

But now...

Qi Nian looked at Lu Qingwu a few steps away, dressed in business attire, looking at her with a calm smile, her originally good mood was completely broken from the inside out.

In the strange silence, Zhou Xinxin's scalp went numb, and she carefully confirmed, "Qi Nian?"

Qi Nian said "um", "It's too late, I've already met."

The entanglement between Qi Nian and Lu Qingwu is a long story.

Qi Nian, like all the painters who first entered the circle of painters, first gathered in a forum called Manhua. Qi Nian joined a group of painters through this comic, and it was there that he met Lu Qingwu. .

At that time, Lu Qingwu was already well-known, and she was also a painter Qi Nian liked very much at that time. She likes Lu Qingwu's comic style, and she even opened Weibo because of her.

Qi Nian's senior year of high school was a bit of a mess, but fortunately, he was still a little sensible. After adding the artist group, I only bubble up on weekends. Occasionally listen to the experienced painters in the group talk about their submission experience, and sometimes communicate with each other and post pictures to appreciate each other's cartoons.

As the first publishing experience in the group, Lu Qingwu was either complimented by a group of painters or surrounded by a group of painters when she appeared in the group of painters, talking about the drafts of various publishing houses and gossip about who she was with. have cooperated...

I don't remember exactly how I met. It seems that from a certain day, she will say hello to Qi Nian and kindly cheer her on, wishing her a successful college entrance examination.

After Qi Nian's college entrance examination, of course, he often spends time with her, just a network cable connecting the two worlds.

Lu Qingwu, who gets along with Qi Nian, is not as cold as she shows outside. She will joke and say some harmless yellow jokes. After getting familiar with it, she does not shy away from talking to Qi Nian about her life in 3D Life experience, laughing and laughing, nothing is right.

But then... I don't know when, she changed.

Or perhaps even more terrifying, Lu Qingwu has never changed, but Qi Nian has never known this person.

Zhou Xinxin's phone had been hung up, and there was a beeping busy tone in her ears, which was so cold that Qi Nian felt a little flustered.

Lu Qingwu had already walked in front of her, smiling gracefully and reaching out to her: "Hi, Qizai, long time no see."

Qi Nian looked down at her pure and white hands, and the intense pain in her chest made her suddenly realize—

Many things that you thought have passed are simply impossible to pass.
