Thinking about going to the laboratory today, Qi Nian was already awake before the alarm clock rang, lying on the bed with his eyes open for a while, and then he slowly got up.
There is only one tail left in the late autumn in Z City. These few days are either gloomy or rainy.
The entrance of the laboratory's corridor was wet with rain, so Qi Nian stepped up and flicked the water droplets off the umbrella.
There are restrictions on access to the laboratory, so even though it is Monday, there are not many people coming and going.
Stamping his feet, Qi Nian avoided the cold wind and stood up on the stairs. The frozen hands stiffly took out the phone and called Ji Yanxin.
During the few seconds she waited for the call to be connected, she leaned on the handrail of the stairs and looked out... The last time she came to the laboratory to find Li Yue and Liu Xia, it was here that she saw him walking through the rain.
Ji Yanxin held the phone that was still vibrating in his hand, looked down from the stairs upstairs, and saw Qi Nian standing at the bottom of the building wearing a pink coat, poking his head.
He cut off the phone and called her, "Qi Nian."
The people downstairs raised their heads, some surprises and some surprises.
Ji Yanxin raised his hand, "Come up."
Because it was raining, the corridor was a little dark.
He lowered his head, Qi Nian couldn't see his facial features, only saw his bright eyes in the dark.
She hurriedly agreed, and climbed up the stairs in three and two steps.
Ji Yanxin was still waiting for her where he was, with one hand in the pocket of his white coat and the other holding the phone. I don't know who came to the message, a flash of light flashed on the screen, he pinched the Home button, and put it back in his pocket.
When Qi Nian stood in front of him, he found that his expression was a little tired, and he was wearing the same clothes from yesterday, only a white coat on the outside, which looked like he had left last night. Here in general…
Such a lazy and casual look is not as unapproachable as it usually looks.
"Come in with me." Ji Yanxin turned around and walked into the laboratory first.
Unlike the last time I came to the laboratory to find Li Yue and Liu Xia, this time I walked in behind Ji Yanxin, there was always a feeling of... stepping into his world step by step.
Cough... Well, don't remind her, she knows she thinks too much.
The living quarters of the lab are still a bit messy.
Ji Yanxin walked to Liu Xia's desk and stopped, too lazy to speak, only raised his chin to signal her to put things down first.
Qi Nian immediately understood, took out the paintbrush and drawing paper that were used in the backpack, thought about it, opened the innermost compartment, touched a bottle of milk and handed it to him, "Mr. Ji, here's it for you. "
Ji Yanxin's eyes were fixed, and his eyes fell on the bottle of milk in her palm.
Qi Nian was a little embarrassed, afraid of being rejected by him.
"I don't like sweet drinks." Ji Yanxin's voice was very soft, as if he was deliberately keeping it low.
Qi Nian closed his eyes and secretly said: Are you really going to refuse
As a result, the next moment, he raised his hand to take it.
The warm fingertips brushed her, and the milk in Qi Nian's hand was taken away, and she suddenly opened her eyes to see.
Ji Yanxin accepted the milk and looked at her, "However, thank you."
It is still a low voice, faint, with a hint of hoarseness, which is the magnetism of mature men.
Qi Nian retracted his hand after realizing it, quietly turned his back behind him, and held the finger he accidentally touched. That inch of skin was so hot that it seemed like it was splashed on sparks, making her whole body warm.
When Ji Yanxin and Qi Nian appeared in the laboratory, the students who were still talking softly suddenly fell silent.
Those wearing masks, holding glasses, and observing the data, the dozen or so people working on the project in the laboratory all fixed their eyes on Qi Nian.
Qi Nian is basically no stranger to the academic masters of the Institute of Biochemistry.
From the beginning, he appeared at the venue as a friend of Liu Xia to help with the arrangement, and later he appeared in the classroom of the Institute of Biochemistry to listen to the class. Until today, he is standing here again.
If the previous few times can still be ignored, then at this moment, Qi Nian will be repositioned.
Qi Nian was a little nervous when everyone stared at him. Seeing that Ji Yanxin didn't mean to introduce, he cleared his throat and said, "I'm here to paint..."
Liu Xia almost laughed.
No one in the Institute of Biochemistry now knows that she came prepared to paint... she could only be a target to fool outsiders, but she was so serious.
Not long after he finished speaking, he heard a long-lasting "oh" from a male voice, and asked in a not-so-good manner, "Are you here to paint a portrait of our professor?"
Liu Xia couldn't hold back, and was the first to laugh out loud.
One has two, one after another, the laughter came, although it was not malicious, it still made Qi Nian blush.
She silently squeezed the brush tightly, and glanced at Ji Yanxin at a loss.
In the roar of laughter, Ji Yanxin, who had never spoken, glanced at the boy and pointed his finger slightly, "You can wash that bucket of centrifuge tube. One wash of detergent, ten times of tap water, and ten times of deionized water."
The effect of killing the chickens to warn the monkeys is obviously very good, the original noise subsided immediately, only the joking boy wailed, quite regretful.
Ji Yanxin raised his long and narrow eyes and asked in a low voice, "Is there any problem?"
Silent.
Ji Yanxin wanted to guide them in the experiment, so he only took Qi Nian around, introduced the instruments and usage in the laboratory, arranged a place for her to stay, and ignored her.
Qi Nian was also happy to be alone.
Ever since he helped her out just now, Qi Nian's heart has been beating restlessly, and the disorder has made her a little panicked. If she stays by his side again...
Qi Nian quietly glanced at the man who was bending over to look at the microscope a few steps away.
He puffed out his mouth and slowly let out a breath, raised his hand and kept fanning his face - huh, it's so hot! So hot!
When it was almost time for dinner, the people in the laboratory were gone one after another, and only Li Yue stayed on duty, staring at the petri dish.
Ji Yanxin didn't go back last night, thinking about Qibao in his heart. As soon as the matter at hand was over, he was about to leave. He took off his white coat and held it in his arms, only then did he think of Qi Nian.
Looking back, she found that she really hadn't left yet, sitting in front of his desk, lounging lazily, her chin resting on the back of her hand, her head bit by bit, holding a paintbrush and drawing something.
The lectern is against the wall, and the light here is slightly dim. Her sitting posture is not standard, her hair hanging down hides her profile, all you can see is the round and white fingers curled up, the joints are slightly blue, and they have been drawn for a long time.
He approached silently, stood behind her, and watched her pick up a brush, already drawing a whole row of test tube racks.
Ji Yanxin watched for a while, then tapped the table with his fingers to attract her attention.
As expected, Qi Nian raised his head, but the confusion in his eyes hadn't disappeared, and he was caught off guard into his deep, ink-like eyes.
Ji Yanxin hung the white coat on the hanger beside him, "Let's go."
Only then did Qi Nian realize that the entire laboratory was empty.
She didn't sleep well last night and woke up early in the morning. She was so sleepy that she was a little confused, and she didn't even notice when everyone left.
He hurriedly packed his things and followed Ji Yanxin out of the laboratory.
A cold wind blew up in the corridor, causing Qi Nian to shrink his neck and wrap his coat involuntarily, "Mr. Ji."
Ji Yanxin, who was walking in front, stopped and turned to look at her.
Qi Nian just felt that he was walking too fast, he stopped suddenly, but she was stunned and looked back stupidly.
"Come over by yourself next time for the experimental class." He slowed down and waited for her to catch up. "I'm usually there, so there's no need to call or text me in advance."
Qi Nian nodded and said, "Oh."
"It usually takes a long time to do experiments. You don't need to synchronize with them, you can allocate your time freely. But before you leave, tell me or Liu Xia." He glanced at her, "Is the prohibition of the laboratory clear?"
Qi Nian continued to nod and said, "Clear."
She was afraid of forgetting, so she copied it ten times and posted it on the desk...
After a few words of conversation, we have reached the first floor.
Standing at the entrance of the corridor, Qi Nian realized that the light rain had brewed a large cloud of dark clouds. The sky was so gloomy that there was not even a trace of light. In the whole world, there seemed to be only the sound of raindrops falling on the ground.
The rain was already as big as pouring, and it was quite pouring.
Ji Yanxin looked at her, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Where's the umbrella?"
As soon as Qi Nian touched the backpack, he was embarrassed, "It seems... it fell into the laboratory." Just now, he was afraid that the room would get wet when he entered the door, so the umbrella was leaning against the wall.
She scratched her head, raised her finger a little embarrassedly and pointed upstairs, "I'll go back... get an umbrella. Teacher Ji, goodbye."
Ji Yanxin nodded, held up his umbrella and was about to leave. After walking a few steps, he remembered something, turned around and called her, "Qi Nian."
The voice is no longer hoarse and hoarse in the morning, like a tree wet by the rain, showing a slight dampness.
Qi Nian stood on the stairs and turned to look at him.
He stood on the steps, the raindrops made a dull sound on the umbrella surface, and the water splashes flowed along the ribs of the umbrella, splashing water splashes at his feet.
He didn't know what to do with his voice, and it was a little hoarse: "Longevity noodles..." After only saying a few words, it was a meal, his right hand clenched into a fist, and he coughed a few times against his lips, "You can Baidu. Just in case, experiment a few times before giving it as a gift."
Qi Nian was still in a daze.
He even asked her a little unhappily last night, if he knew there was an idiom called "to make an inch..."
But now, it seems that she is condoning her indulgence
Qi Nian was taken aback by the word "indulgence" he had summed up, and subconsciously denied it in his heart - impossible!
A student of Ji Yanxin passed by and greeted him, "Mr. Ji."
Ji Yanxin nodded, the coldness between his brows and eyes was like this cold rain.
He turned around, held an umbrella, and stepped into the rain curtain, unaware that his random actions had already disturbed Qi Nian's Fang Chunchi.
Qi Nian felt that he really had no talent for cooking.
The countertop was as messy as if it had been looted. Dishes and bowls were piled up in a mess, more or less stained with a lot of white flour, making it a mess.
Qi Nian rubbed his itchy nose with the back of his hand, washed his hands in a collapse, and sent a text message for help.
It was a lingering light rain outside the house, and the tea fragrance curled up inside the house, revealing an elegant warmth.
Professor Shen picked up the teapot and poured tea into the glass cup. In the warm aroma of tea, his eyes narrowed slowly, "Go back and tell your dad for me, I don't have class the other day, ask him for an appointment. Go to the tea house for tea."
The green tea leaves with long and slender ropes curled into snails float up and down in the scalding water.
Ji Yanxin shook the teacup lightly, watching the green tea leaves swaying along the wall of the glass cup, lowered his head and took a sip.
The slightly hot tea enters the throat, the fresh and mellow tea fragrance is overflowing, and the aftertaste is sweet.
Professor Shen likes to drink tea, especially Biluochun. Every time Father Ji comes back to visit the old man, he always remembers to bring him a premium Biluochun.
But this was the first time, it was sent by Ji Yanxin.
"He's going to go back in two days." Ji Yanxin lowered his dark eyes, and his brows unconsciously filled with a bit of coldness, "I will go back after the medical examination with the old man."
"No wonder," Professor Shen muttered, "otherwise, he usually brought it by himself."
Just as he was talking, Ji Yanxin's mobile phone buzzed and vibrated.
He looked down.
The screen was slid brightly, and Qi Nian's text message suddenly jumped into his field of vision.
The first thing that catches the eye is the appalling channel.
After a pause for a few seconds, her second text message followed: "Mr. Ji, the strategies we refer to must be different..."
Ji Yanxin held the phone, and was lost for a moment.
Professor Shen probed his head curiously, and when he saw the word "Qi Nian", he raised his eyebrows, "Is this girl cooking for you?"
Ji Yanxin raised his eyes, the meaning of those eyes was self-evident, "I think too much."
"I really didn't expect it." Professor Shen said "tsk tsk" twice, looking at Ji Yanxin from head to toe just like the first time he met him, "The scope of your teaching already involves cooking."
"Just teach her." Ji Yanxin stood up and took off his long coat from the hanger, "Go to the lab, I'll go first."
Professor Shen waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's go, let's go, every time you talk about this girl, you subconsciously avoid it."
Ji Yanxin's footsteps stopped, turned to look at him, and asked suspiciously, "Is this?"
At this moment, even Professor Shen was surprised, "I'm talking nonsense, why are you reacting so much?"
Ji Yanxin: "…"
Qi Nian waited for a long time without waiting for Ji Yanxin's reply, so he didn't dare to disturb him any more, and stared at the mess in front of him in a daze.
Just as he was about to go back and search for "kneading skills", the phone rang, Qi Nian leaned over to look at the caller ID, and was so frightened that he almost threw the phone out.
After calming down for a few seconds, she cleared her throat before picking up, "Mr. Ji."
Ji Yanxin held the umbrella and walked on the way to the laboratory.
At dusk, the sky was as heavy as if the ink in the inkstone had been overturned, and there was no sunlight. Some street lamps were already on, one by one, hidden among the street trees, dim and hazy.
His voice has never been so clear: "I thought kneading dough was something you could learn without a teacher."
Qi Nian blinked dryly, not daring to refute - well, she admitted that she did it on purpose.
He didn't speak, and Qi Nian also kept silent.
She always felt that her thoughts were basically transparent in front of him.
There was rain falling among the leaves, rustling.
Qi Nian turned to look out the window, "Mr. Ji, are you outside?"
"Yeah." Ji Yanxin responded lightly, recalled the process of kneading the dough, and briefly told her the procedure and precautions.
Hearing her promise, he paused and offered another solution: "If you still can't, just buy ready-made noodles and cook them. I don't need to say more about basic common sense!"
Qi Nian automatically translated this sentence into: "No and don't ask me again, it's stupid, you know?"
She bit her lip and gave a low "um": "I won't disturb the teacher casually. Teacher, you can do it first."
Ji Yanxin had already stepped up the steps, put away the umbrella with one hand, listened for a while, but there was no sound at that end, so he hung up the phone.
Qi Nian stood blankly in the kitchen for a while, until a cold feeling came from the soles of her feet, and she woke up, patted her face, and cheered up.
First clean up the kitchen, wash all the unnecessary dishes and put them in the cupboard. Just after restoring the countertop, Qi Nian has no interest in kneading the dough, so he returned to the computer and drew a picture. The sketch of the face-scrolling keyboard is posted on Weibo.
Supplementary sentence: Soldiers make stupid moves, roll their faces and have a long memory.
Liu Xia returned to the dormitory, took a shower, and just lay down comfortably and swiped Weibo. After a few swipes, he saw Qi Nian's cute face scrolling through the keyboard.
First reaction: What the hell is this guy doing
Second reaction: Without this military advisor, it really won't work.
The third reaction: the capable ones work hard...
Qi Nian was staring at the drawing board in a daze, and suddenly a video invitation from Liu Xia popped up.
She hesitated for a moment and accepted.
The screen was still for a few seconds, and Liu Xia's face covered with the green algae mask appeared, "I said when are you going to fix the camera, every video with you is black."
Qi Nian was taken aback, and just came over, "Can you stop making a video with me when you put on the mask, to startle me."
Liu Xia said "hehe" twice: "Hey, what happened to your Weibo? What stupid thing are you doing?"
Qi Nian hesitated and did not want to say anything, and was forced to ask a few questions, and then she explained it honestly, and when the words fell, she looked at her earnestly, "Do you think I look particularly stupid like this? I always feel that Professor Ji is too stupid. I'm running out of patience."
Liu Xia gave a "uh" and thought about it before answering: "Qi Nian, to be honest, when you said that you fell in love with Mr. Ji at first sight and wanted to chase him, I reminded you that Mr. Ji is not good at oil and salt, cold and cold. Cold-hearted, never knew what Lianxiangxiyu is... How did you answer me at that time?"
Qi Nian was silent.
"So, if you still keep your original intention, don't always doubt yourself." After a while, Liu Xia analyzed, "You haven't made a clear statement to Teacher Ji now, but how could Teacher Ji not be so smart. His attitude gave me the feeling that he didn't mean to reject it forcefully..." Having said this, Liu Xia was startled and frowned.
She hadn't thought in this direction before, but now Kaijie Qi Nian looks back on it, and it seems that this is really the case.
Qi Nian's eyes lit up, "Really?"
The authorities are fascinated by the bystanders, she has never felt that Ji Yanxin has any good feelings for her...
Liu Xia was not sure, but nodded and said, "He actually called you back because of kneading the dough. It's also... the first time the big girl got on the sedan chair."
Well, Qi Nian was cured in an instant.
She happily rolled her face back and forth on the keyboard a few times. The keyboard was squealing and squealing, and Liu Xia asked suspiciously, "What are you doing?"
Qi Nian replied: "Roll the keyboard..."
"..." Find the psychological shadow area of the keyboard.
Qi Nian had no class in the afternoon. After the morning class, he packed up and went home early. He first took the bus to the subway station, and then took the subway to the bakery to get cakes.
In order to surprise Qi's mother, Qi Nian chose to pick it up and deliver it to her door in person.
It was only when she stood in front of the store after so many subway stops carrying a bag of flour that she deeply regretted what a wrong decision it was.
When I went back, I took the subway of Line 7 and passed by Qicheng Station.
The exit of Qicheng Station is not far from Ji Yanxin's apartment.
Qi Nian leaned against the wall between the carriages, listening to the wind whizzing past the subway, and watching himself approaching him little by little.
When Qi Nian was in high school, boarding was not yet available at the school. Every time he finished his evening self-study, he would take the subway home with his classmates.
In the subway cars of Line 7, there are always figures in blue and white school uniforms.
At that time, there were already several pairs in the class.
Romantic high school romance, there are always some romantic legends.
In Qi Nian's period, the most popular romantic legend was that on the last train of Line 7, close your eyes, and reverently recite the name of the person you want to see three times in your heart, and he will definitely appear at the next stop.
However, Qi Nian was not enlightened at that time. When someone chased her, she avoided it. In addition, she didn't have anyone she liked, so she sneered at this romantic legend.
Line 7 is the main line. As long as the other party takes the subway and walks from the first carriage to the last one, isn't there a high chance of seeing each other...
Therefore, when she closed her eyes and meditated on Ji Yanxin's name, there was always a voice in her heart scolding her for being mentally retarded and insane.
Well, it's okay to be mentally ill or mentally ill.
Her girl Huaichun came a little later than others, so even if she wanted to experience it, she wouldn't break the law.
The next stop is Qicheng Station.
Qicheng Station is not far from the city center. It is the busiest station on Line 7. Although it is not a rush hour, the subway is still full of people.
Qi Nian carefully protected the cake, pressing the skirt corner, regretting it.
Why do you have to stand in the air outlet while wearing a skirt!
But right now, it's hard to move.
The radio reminded us to arrive at the station, the speed of the subway gradually slowed down, the advertising box outside the carriage finally became clear, and the bright LED lights illuminated the bright face of a twenty-six-year-old girl.
The delicate face, the eyebrows and the eyes are stretched, it is not beautiful, but it looks very fresh and comfortable.
The countdown to Lu Qingwu's signing ceremony is 30 days.
This girl is a milestone for Qi Nian... no, it should be a milestone for Qi Zai.
She once gave Qi Nian countless longings and fantasies about comics, but she was the one who killed all her enthusiasm.
She was still in a daze, staring at the advertising box for a long time, and finally recovered from the sound of the subway door closing.
When I looked up, I was stupid.
What bullshit legend, so accurate
There was a damp wind in the car.
As the subway slowly moved forward, the moist wind rose slowly.
The heavy noise pressing on the track gradually became clear, and the light box outside the window swept past the window, forming a frame of still picture.
very quiet.
Ji Yanxin didn't notice Qi Nian, he was leaning on the armrest by the door, his slender figure and excellent appearance made him stand out in such a crowded environment.
Qi Nian heard a few girls standing beside him boldly looking at him and talking softly. It was not Mandarin or the dialect of Z City, but it sounded like Korean.
Qi Nian looked back curiously.
At the same time, the person who lowered his head to reply to the text message seemed to have noticed it, raised his head, and crossed Qi Nian's gaze.
Qi Nian subconsciously stood upright against the wall of the car.
Ji Yanxin was a little surprised, he separated the crowd and walked towards her.
In the whistling and swaying subway car, his every step was smooth and steady, and within a few steps, he had passed through the crowd and walked in front of her.
The conversation behind him stopped abruptly.
A few strands of eyes fell on her, scrutinizing it slightly.
Qi Nian leaned against the wall nervously and looked up at him, "Mr. Ji."
Ji Yanxin glanced at the gift box she was protecting, "Cake?"
Qi Nian nodded.
It was raining outside, and she was afraid of getting wet. When she went out, she asked the shopping guide to cover the cake carton with a layer of cardboard and a plastic bag, and put candles and other accessories in the bag together with the flour.
"No class this afternoon?" Ji Yanxin glanced at her weight and raised his eyebrows slightly.
Qi Nian shook his head. After shaking his head, he remembered that there was one of his experimental classes in the afternoon, "I can't go to the experimental class in the afternoon, and I don't know if I should ask you for leave..."
She was so full of things about celebrating her mother's birthday that she didn't remember it until she got on the subway just now.
I have thought about the question of whether I need to ask him for a leave of absence.
Hesitating, hesitating... Then, I met...
She saw Ji Yanxin frown slightly with a somewhat cautious expression, and he repeated what she just said: "I wonder if you want to ask me for leave?"
Qi Nian pursed her lips, did she say something wrong
Why does Ji Yanxin's voice sound a little… unhappy
"Want... to ask for leave?" She tentatively slowed down and explained, "Last time you said, I'm not counted as your student, just a number, so I don't know if I should bother you because of the leave..."
Ji Yanxin thought about it seriously, it seemed like it happened a few days ago? When answering Ji Qiu, and when she asked about the results of the class test.
As soon as he frowned, Qi Nian's heart tightened, "Am I... Did I say something wrong?"
The inside of the carriage was a little swaying, Ji Yanxin raised his hand to hold the armrest, and looked down at her, "It's only this time, it's not an example next time."
When the words fell, seeing her bewildered face, she explained patiently, "If you miss class, you need to ask for leave, do you hear me?"
Qi Nian nodded hurriedly, feeling a little overwhelmed for some reason, and even his tone was a lot excited, "I heard it, I heard it."
While talking, the next stop is coming soon.
The cold wind rolled up the corners of her skirt, Qi Nian's legs felt cold, and she hurriedly pressed the corners of her skirt.
Although I was wearing stockings and safety pants, the skirt flew up and my legs were cold, and I didn't feel safe at all.
The car door began to surround the people who were going to leave the station.
Qi Nian had to carefully protect the cake from being bumped, and had to hold down the corners of her skirt.
Braking and slowing down many times, Qi Nian slammed forward inertialy, and almost lost his footing.
The edges and corners of the carton hit the back of Ji Yanxin's hand, slightly sharp.
He turned his head and looked at Qi Nian, whose face was flushed with suffocation. He was pushed by the crowd walking towards the car door, but he tried to avoid Qi Nian who hit him.
Unexpectedly, Ji Yanxin released the armrest and put his hand on the wall of the car behind her for balance.
Then leaned over, completely separating her from the crowd.
Qi Nian suddenly raised his eyes to look at Ji Yanxin who was close at hand, and was so frightened that he couldn't speak, "Ji, Teacher Ji..."
The surrounding sounds seemed to be gone at this moment, only the heartbeat was beating like a drum and pounding.
Ji Yanxin pressed the corner of her skirt blown up by the wind with one hand, and moved the hand supporting her face upwards. Those eyes were dark and dark, as if frozen, and looked at her coldly.
Qi Nian was so stared at by his eyes that he didn't dare to speak.
As a result, the more you count, the more panicked.
The door was wide open, and a cold wind blew in.
Qi Nian shrank his neck and looked at Ji Yanxin's hand pressing on the corner of her skirt - those slender fingers gently pressed against the corner of the skirt, always keeping a horizontal pinky finger distance so as not to touch her.
There is a small beast rolling in my heart, rolling up a pool of spring water.
Qi Nian's ears were so hot that they were almost smoking.
The people who got off the station have not finished walking, and the passengers who have been waiting for a long time on both sides can't wait to squeeze up.
Ji Yanxin was pushed by the crowd behind him and bumped forward unexpectedly, only to have time to put his elbow behind her to avoid hitting her.
However, such a posture looks a bit awkward, as if half-circling Qi Nian.
Qi Nian, who had kept his head down and kept silent, pressed his forehead against his shoulder, as if shrunk in his arms. She raised her head in a panic, and without warning, bumped into his deep, deep eyes.
Being so close, Qi Nian could smell the faint scent of his color-block knitted sweater.
She was a little dazed, and after a moment of daze, she remembered to manage the expression on her face, and worked hard... to put out four words - sit still!
Unfortunately, that hot red face is really not convincing.
Such ambiguity was an embarrassment to Ji Yanxin. He suppressed the gloom between his eyebrows and tried to distance himself from Qi Nian.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he took a step back, Qi Nian took his hand.
"Mr. Ji." Qi Nian licked his lips nervously.
Ji Yanxin frowned.
Such an expression is not unfamiliar.
He almost immediately guessed what she was going to say next, but before he could stop it, he heard her ask—
"Ji Yanxin, can I chase you?"
It's over, it's over, it's over...
Qi Nian took a few sips of juice in a brokenhearted manner, and the cold juice slid down her throat, making her shiver, and sadness came from it.
Liu Xia was taken aback by her somewhat obsessive expression, and she was too frightened to ask what she had done.
Li was getting late, looking at the few kebabs that had been wiped out on the table, and resignedly ordered some more.
When I sat down, I noticed the low air pressure on the wooden table as if it had solidified.
He quietly bumped into Liu Xia's arm, lowered his voice and asked, "What's the matter?"
Liu Xia's two brows were twisted into knots, "If I knew, I would fall into a trap now, and if I should add fuel to the fire, I would add fuel to the fire, how can I do nothing?"
Li Yue: "..."
The boss came to serve the food with a baking tray, saw three empty glass bottles and a large string of bamboo sticks in front of Qi Nian, looked at the three customers inquiringly, and confirmed that they did not seem to be eating Bawang's meal, and then asked: "Also Need a drink?"
"Yes!" Qi Nian slammed the table and said viciously, "Wangzi, bring a box!"
boss:"… "
Liu Xia glared at Qi Nian fiercely, and quickly stopped her, "She's drunk, she's drunk, just have another bottle of Wangzai, thank you boss."
The boss is silent.
Can you get drunk by drinking juice? Don't bully him for reading less!
The Z largest snack street is as lively as a stage after the rain.
Blow, pull and play, everything is there.
Only at the barbecue stall, it was as quiet as if it had frozen.
"That's it..." Qi Nian looked at Liu Xia with wet eyes, and silently stretched out his magic claws to the roasted corn in the roasting pan.
Liu Xia squeezed her hand and grimaced, "Can you repeat it for me?"
That anger value rushed towards the face across the table.
Qi Nian didn't dare, and pitifully asked Li Yue for help.
When he got the signal for help, Li Yue immediately dispatched, held Liu Xia down, and half hugged him into his arms, "Don't be impulsive, I feel bad if you're angry."
Qi Nian: "..."
Who is this
Liu Xia aggressively threw Li Yue aside and asked Qi Nian, "Did you press Mr. Ji in the subway to confess?"
Qi Nian blinked, "I didn't touch him..." He just touched his little hand.
"Confession?" Liu Xia confirmed again.
Qi Nian didn't dare to come out, and nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.
Liu Xia was amused, stared at him, and put on a vicious expression, "Just because of this, let me sit here and watch you eat for half an hour? You know that all the little darlings in my petri dish are still there. Are you hungry?"
Qi Nian didn't even dare to pick it up from Wang Zai, so he obediently listened to the instructions.
Qi Nian, Liu Xia and Li Yue are good friends who grew up together since childhood.
How small is it
Qi Nian and Liu Xia's parents are classmates. When they were pregnant together, they made an appointment. If it is a boy and a girl, then they will decide on a baby kiss, and a kiss on top of each other. If it's a girl, or a boy, then it's a marriage of gold orchid... not even a little creative.
According to Qi's mother, the friendship between Qi Nian and Liu Xia was formed in her mother's belly.
Li Yue was Qi Nian and Liu Xia's classmates when they were in kindergarten. His parents and Liu Xia's mother were colleagues and had frequent contacts.
Later, the three went to elementary school, junior high school, and high school together.
Qi Nian was the youngest and the youngest among the three, and because he was weak when he was a child, he was always the one who was protected.
She also likes this way of getting along. Over time, her dependence on Liu Xia is stronger than she imagined.
until the university.
Qi Nian went to J University in J Province, and Li Yue and Liu Xia came to Z University.
But even after being separated for so long, many things cannot be changed by time. Oh... Except for the fact that these two quietly "fucked up".
"It's not a big deal." Liu Xia sighed helplessly. "Confession is a matter of time. It's not a bad thing to confess your brain fever in advance. At least, you can be rejected earlier and give up earlier."
Qi Nian covered his ears.
"Take it away." Liu Xia raised her chin and motioned her to move her hand away, "Listen, since this is the case, let go and chase. Send breakfast, dog food, dog treats, a cute letter every day manga, this kind of chasing male gods that you designed at the beginning can be used."
When the words fell, she remembered something, squinted her eyes, and asked, "After you asked that sentence, he didn't respond?"
"Ah?" Qi Nian scratched his head embarrassedly, "... I ran away."
Liu Xia sneered, completely amused.
Ji Yanxin opened his eyes, looked at the stop sign, there were two more stops, pinched his eyebrows, and continued to close his eyes.
The further west you go, the fewer passengers there are on the subway.
Ji Qiubai looked at the advertisements on the light box boredly. From a few days ago, almost all the advertisements on the light box of Line 7 were replaced by Lu Qingwu's 30-day countdown for the signing ceremony.
"It's not from Seven Cubs..." Ji Qiu held his cheeks.
Lu Qingwu is a manga master who has suddenly risen in the past two years. The serialization of magazines, the tour around the world, the fan meeting, etc., have all been carried out vigorously.
When Ji Qiu first came into contact with comics, he lost Lu Qingwu for a while.
Holding Weibo every day to watch Lu Qingwu and Jiyou Qizai show their affection on Weibo, and I was often talked about by Mr. Ji.
But things are different, people who were once infatuated with have long since become the past tense in the torrent of time.
When the subway arrived at the station, Ji Qiu followed Ji Yanxin out of the subway exit.
The rain had stopped, and the ground was still wet.
Holding an umbrella, Ji Qiu looked down from the overpass and asked strangely, "Cousin, why don't you drive today?"
Ji Yanxin's response was cold: "Be quiet."
Ji Qiu said "Oh" and obediently closed his mouth, daring not to make trouble.
Today is Mr. Ji's annual physical examination. It is customary for Ji Yanxin to drive Mr. Ji and Ji Rong to the hospital.
Ji Rong came back in a hurry this time. The company has a backlog of work, and he will return to the United States the day after tomorrow.
Pick Ji Qiu back in the afternoon, and after dinner, send her back to school for self-study at night.
After sending Mr. Ji and Ji Rong back to Ji's house, Ji Yanxin sent the car for maintenance, and it was only after a rare subway ride that he happened to meet Qi Nian.
After picking up the car and going home, Ji Qiu waited for the car to stop, and couldn't wait to get out of the car to file a complaint.
Mr. Ji personally cooked the special dishes, and the granddaughter who was rushed in complained aggrievedly. He suddenly widened his eyes and united with Ji Qiu.
Ji Qiu had a "villain" expression on his face, "That's right, I was so scared that I didn't dare to speak..."
"Wait for the evening and let your uncle clean him up."
Ji Qiu was immediately happy.
As soon as he turned around, Ji Yanxin leaned against the kitchen door and looked at her, and asked with a half-smile, "Have you learned to complain?"
As a matter of course, Ji Qiu was severely cleaned up.
Until dinner, I was still crying and writing exam papers in the study.
When Ji Rong heard about this, he inevitably asked at the dinner table, "Are you in a bad mood today?"
Ji Yanxin didn't lift his eyelids and replied, "It's good."
It seems very bad...
Ji Qiu buried his head and counted the rice grains diligently.
Ji Rong did not continue to ask, comforted Ji Qiu, and changed the subject: "This time your mother can't go away and didn't come back, but I didn't forget about your worries. I asked you when you plan to talk about a girlfriend. ?"
Ji Yanxin paused with the chopsticks he stretched out, then raised his eyes, "There is no such plan at the moment."
Ji Qiu has been professionally demolished for 18 years, waiting for the opportunity to raise his head from his job, and put in a sentence: "What about Sister Qi?"
Qi Nian was restless all night.
After saying "Ji Yanxin, can I chase you" with great ambition and pressure, Qi Nian regretted it and wanted to commit suicide.
She drank three glasses of milk before going to bed, except for running to the toilet, she was not sleepy at all.
She was worried that Ji Yanxin would directly reject her, and that she would be kicked out if she went to class again.
When Liu Xia met Qi Nian at the door of the classroom, he was taken aback, "You were a thief last night?"
Qi Nian's face was sluggish, "Insomnia..."
Liu Xia burst into laughter, pulled her to sit down, and moved the milk that Li Yue had given her to Qi Nian in front of Qi Nian, "Have a warm sip, and you will be greeted by Teacher Ji's winter-like cold. "
Qi Nian wanted to pretend he didn't care and sneered, then patted the table and said, "I'm not afraid!"
But as soon as this thought rolled through her mind, she was pressed back, so why should it be shameful...
Just after the bell rang, Ji Yanxin walked into the classroom with a book in his hand. The noisy classroom suddenly became quiet.
Qi Nian's heartbeat also slowed for half a beat, and she shrank down unconsciously, trying to reduce her sense of existence.
Ji Yanxin followed his usual habit, glanced around with his eyes, and recorded it on the attendance sheet.
When his eyes fell on Qi Nian's body, he didn't stop, just skipped it.
Liu Xia's heart was also tense when he saw it, and he lowered his voice and asked in a low voice: "Are you hiding something from me? I always think you made Teacher Ji angry yesterday..."
Qi Nian was confused, "Pissed off?"
"When Mr. Ji is more calm, it means..." Liu Xia understood the next words without mentioning Qi Nian. She swallowed her saliva silently with a solemn expression on her face.
Sure enough, Ji Yanxin seemed to be deliberately trying to make things difficult for her, and changed her name in the questioning session.
"Sit in the third row, students without textbooks, stand up and answer."
All eyes focused on Qi Nian, who was pretending to be dead.
"The middle student in the seventh-to-last row, please stand up and answer."
The classmates happily counted, and their eyes fell on Qi Nian, who was biting his pen and about to cry.
"Vertical Arrangement No. 1..."
In the end, Liu Xia looked at Qi Nian with special sympathy.
Ji Yanxin asked happily, "Why is it you again?"
Qi Nian: "..." She also wanted to know!
After class, Qi Nian was taken to Ji Yanxin's office as a matter of course.
Stepping into this place again, Qi Nian stood in front of the desk consciously, with his head lowered, his hands folded on his abdomen, and a standard gesture of admitting his mistake.
But obviously, Ji Yanxin did not bring people here to see her punished.
The tea brewed in the morning was already cold, but Ji Yanxin didn't care, he picked it up and took a few sips to moisten his throat.
The green tea still had a faint scent of tea, soaked in the air. If you didn't smell it carefully, you couldn't notice it at all. After drinking this cup of cold tea, he seemed to have just seen her standing here, and clicked on the one behind Qi Nian. Chair, "Sit down."
Qi Nian shook his head steadfastly, "Teacher Ji, tell me, I'll stand and listen."
Ji Yanxin raised his eyebrows, but didn't say anything unexpectedly, just nodded, expressing randomness.
But soon, Qi Nian regretted it...
He put Qi Nian aside and wrote his thesis.
When Ji Yanxin was researching materials, he would go to the bookshelf and flip through the books. There is a shelf full of professional books in his office, original and translated versions, categorized and neatly coded together.
At this moment, he was leaning halfway against the bookshelf, his slender fingers supporting the spine of the book, and the sound of the pages rubbing against his fingers was especially quiet in the quiet office.
Sunlight fell through the gaps between the leaves, and scattered all over the ground.
However, he didn't seem to notice the glare of the sun. He lowered his head and looked seriously. The profile of his face was cut by two rays of light and dark.
Qi Nian was almost addicted.
She had never seen such a beautiful person.
The person who was concentrating on reading suddenly raised his head.
Qi Nian was caught peeking at him, and he was so embarrassed that he quickly turned his eyes away, covered it up, looked around, but didn't meet his eyes.
Ji Yanxin raised his wrist and glanced at the time, feeling that it was almost time, and then closed the book, "It seems that you didn't reflect on it properly."
nonsense!
Qi Nian bit her lip, she was caught just now!
Ji Yanxin didn't care about her answer either, put the book back in its original position, and walked to her.
He was much taller than Qi Nian, and standing so close in front of her, the heavy coercion came down, and Qi Nian's willpower, which had been almost worn down, disintegrated more than half.
"I'm not very good at dealing with these problems, but usually, I only have one way." He said softly, his voice unhurried, "kill without hope."
The coldness in his tone made Qi Nian's heart tremble, and his back was cold.
"How old are you?" Ji Yanxin asked.
Qi Nian was so hungry that his response was slow, and after a pause, he replied, "Twenty-three."
Five years difference, what a cute age difference...
"Have you been in a relationship before?" he continued.
Qi Nian hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, I don't even have someone I like. You are the first."
The tone was so serious... as if he was confessing.
Ji Yanxin was startled, and was taken by surprise by her answer. He looked at her coldly, "You've never been in love, so you want to chase me?"
Qi Nian said "Ah" and asked in confusion, "Can I chase you only if I have a love experience?"
Ji Yanxin: "…"
As soon as he was silent, Qi Nian panicked.
She lowered her head, stared at her toes, and apologized in a low voice: "I'm sorry, Mr. Ji, continue."
Ji Yanxin's patience is not very good. In just a few words of communication, he has already lost patience with this topic, and hastily ended: "I'm not interested in teacher-student romance, do you hear?"
Qi Nian liked to hear him say the three words "I heard". Even if it was brief, he could always hear the gentleness of his voice, as if he was being treated to Qibao.
Although she understands that it's just because of the syllables, not because of his deliberate tenderness, but when there is such a prefix in front of these three words, she doesn't like it at all.
Qi Nian bit his lower lip and whispered, "I didn't plan to catch you right away..."
She has always been running for a protracted war...
At that time she graduated to work, and he continued to be his university professor, how wonderful!
Ji Yanxin didn't hear clearly, "What did you say?"
Qi Nian shook his head guiltily, "No... nothing."
When the words fell, she retorted, carefully observing his expression, "Can I say it?"
Her expression didn't look like she was going to say something good. Even though he had already made it so clear, she was in her left ear and out right, and she didn't care at all.
However, after a momentary stalemate, Ji Yanxin compromised: "Speak."
Qi Nian rolled her eyes with a smile, "You don't like sweet milk, do you like pure milk? Or yogurt?" She knocked her head and added, "Otherwise, the drink you like, the breakfast you like, I'll have tomorrow. Can I get it to you in the morning?"
Ji Yanxin was silent.
There seemed to be ice and snow in the Arctic hidden between his eyebrows, and he looked at her lightly.
Qi Nian's voice became smaller and smaller: "Then do you agree with me chasing you..."
