Every year on her birthday, Jian Yan would go to the market early to buy a lot of vegetables, then go back to the Ji family for dinner. After dinner, she would rush back to the apartment, cook a table of dishes, buy herself a cake, and wait for that person to come back and wish her a happy birthday, but she never got her wish.
Yanyan, let's go home.
Yanyan, I'm back.
Yanyan, I'm here to take you home.
In the past, she thought that these three sentences were the most beautiful words of love than "I like you". She had fantasized about them countless times. When she woke up from a sweet dream, looked at the empty room, and burst into tears, she was thinking that she would never hear Ji Yunxin's words like this again in her life.
But now, she heard it.
Jian Yan's eyes were slightly red, and tears were falling. Seeing this, Ji Yunxin reached out to hug her but Jian Yan dodged. She took a step back and handed the key to Ji Yunxin. Ji Yunxin was puzzled: "Yan Yan?"
"Sorry." Jian Yan said calmly, "This gift is too valuable. I can't accept it."
Ji Yunxin was a little surprised by Jian Yan's rejection. She murmured, "Yan Yan, don't you want to go home with me?"
"I don't want to." Jian Yan raised her head, her eyes slightly brightened after crying. Under the dim light, half of Jian Yan's facial features were hidden in the darkness, and it was not very clear. Ji Yunxin heard her continue: "Yunxin, do you know what my birthday wish is every year?"
Ji Yunxin held the box she handed over, lowered his eyes, and felt heartbroken before he even opened his mouth. No matter what it was, it must be related to her.
"My birthday wish every year is that you can come home, have a meal with me, and eat a bite of cake with me. Even if you just come back to see me and then leave, I will be very happy. Yunxin, you see, my love at that time was so humble." Jian Yan's voice choked up. When she mentioned the past again, she still couldn't remain calm.
Ji Yunxin's hand holding the box trembled slightly, and she said in a lower voice: "I'm sorry, Yanyan, I..."
"I'm not blaming you." Jian Yan said calmly, "Yun Xin, I have never blamed you. It was not your fault that you didn't like me at the beginning. I have no reason to force you to come back to accompany me. It was me who made me so humble, not you."
"But I'm just an ordinary person. I know it's not your fault, but I still can't help but blame you. I'm even more afraid." After Jian Yan said this, she felt much more relaxed. She took a deep breath, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said, "I dare not walk into that house, I dare not enter that home, and I dare not easily accept you. I'm afraid that if it's just a flash in the pan, I won't have the courage to endure it a second time."
"sorry."
After she finished speaking, she looked at Ji Yunxin and said in a choked voice, "I can't accept this gift."
"It's okay." Ji Yunxin frowned when she heard her words, tears floating in her eyes, she suppressed her emotions and said softly: "I understand."
When Jian Yan heard these four words, she bit her lip and cried. She had wanted to tell Ji Yunxin these words for a long time, but she didn't dare to say it. She was afraid that Ji Yunxin was only interested in her for a while, and she was even more afraid that Ji Yunxin would be driven away by her indifference. She couldn't lie to herself. She still liked Ji Yunxin and was still moved by her, but this feeling was mixed with a bit of fear. She was afraid that she would leave suddenly, and that she couldn't stand her. So she forced herself to be indifferent from the beginning, forced herself to ignore it. But she was Ji Yunxin, the person she had been thinking about for several years. Her every move could affect her emotions. How could she be indifferent just by saying so? Recently, she felt that she was beginning to fall again. That feeling of "poisoning" was too familiar, so familiar that fear surged up her spine.
She didn't dare take the risk.
Ji Yunxin put away the key. Seeing Jian Yan still crying, she took a step forward. This time, she reached out her hand and hugged Jian Yan without hesitation. She held her in her arms. Her tears soaked her clothes and fell on her skin, from warm to cold. Ji Yunxin patted Jian Yan's back and let her cry enough. When Jian Yan sobbed, Ji Yunxin whispered, "It's okay, Yan Yan, don't be afraid. I won't leave you."
"If you are really scared, you can hide in your shell now and come out when you feel it is safe outside."
"Don't worry, I will always wait for you at the door of your shell."
"Always waiting for you."
The tears that Jian Yan had just stopped burst out again, and more intense emotions squeezed her chest. For the first time, she hugged Ji Yunxin, hugged her waist tightly, and apologized over and over again: "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry."
"It's okay." Ji Yunxin's nose felt sore after hearing this. Her eyes were red and tears rolled down Jian Yan's neck. Both of them were choked up and their words were unclear. Ji Yunxin patted Jian Yan's back and said softly, "I was too anxious."
"Yan Yan." Ji Yunxin pulled the distance between them and said in a hoarse voice: "Look, I made you cry again, so I haven't become your best gift yet."
"You were right to reject me."
Ji Yunxin tilted her head slightly, her eyes were sparkling and red, and her usually cold face was given a gentle smile. Jian Yan looked at those eyes, that face, and that person for a long time, then she lowered her eyes and chuckled, as if she also felt that what Ji Yunxin said was wrong.
At the window not far away, the family of three was pushing and shoving each other. Ji Songlin looked unhappy: "Why did you make Yanyan cry again? What's going on? What is Yunxin doing!"
Du Yan was squeezed by Ji Han. She turned around and asked, "Yun Xin is crying too, right? Why do I feel like Yun Xin is crying too?"
"Sister, I'm crying! Oh, mother, I've never seen you cry in my life!"
"How dare you say that!" Ji Songlin knocked her head, "You'll have to kneel down in the ancestral hall later! How dare you hide such a big thing from us!"
Du Yan agreed: "That's right!"
Ji Shuiquan looked at the three people over there and shook his head helplessly, and said with a smile: "Dad, wife, Xiaohan, have you seen enough?"
The three of them turned around and said in unison: "Don't talk!"
Ji Shuiquan took a sip of tea and went upstairs to work.
His daughter was in love, but he had to work. His family was having a good time, but he still had to work. Ji Shuiquan sighed and walked to the window to look down. Ji Yunxin and Jian Yan were still talking. Their voices were very low, and no one knew what they were talking about, but it seemed that their relationship was not as distant and cold as before, which was a good thing. He smiled.
Ji Yunxin and Jian Yan stood face to face under the gaze of the whole family. Ji Yunxin waited until Jian Yan calmed down and asked, "Let's go back to the house."
Jian Yan nodded.
The two men walked towards the living room, and the three people lying on the window immediately stepped back. Ji Songlin sat on the sofa pretending to be serious with a stern face. Du Yan was busy back and forth with a happy look on her face. Ji Han held his mobile phone and glanced at the two people who had just come in.
Jian Yan entered the room and called out, "Grandpa."
She had just cried, her voice was still hoarse, and her eyes were slightly red. Jian Yan knew she couldn't hide it, so she just let them look at her. Ji Songlin originally wanted to keep his composure, but when he saw that both children had cried, he couldn't hold it in anymore. He said to Ji Yunxin, "Come here!"
Ji Yunxin walked to his side, and Ji Songlin said to Jian Yan, "Yan Yan, come sit next to me."
Jian Yan was dragged by Ji Han to sit next to Ji Songlin. Everyone looked at Ji Yunxin, and there was an atmosphere of a three-court trial. Ji Yunxin looked calm, raised his head and asked, "Grandpa, what's the matter?"
"What else?" Ji Songlin was furious when he said this: "Look at you, you said you wanted a divorce and you divorced! You didn't even ask for our opinions, and now you're chasing her? Yunxin, Yanyan has no relatives now, we are her relatives. If you want to chase her, you have to get past us first!"
Ji Yunxin asked back: "Didn't you say that you would not ask about the future affairs between Yanyan and me?"
“That—” Ji Songlin felt a little guilty: “That’s different.”
"How do I know if you're just acting on impulse? What if you ignore Yanyan for another three to five years?"
When Ji Yunxin heard him say this, he whispered, "I won't do that anymore."
She looked up at Jian Yan with a gentle expression: "I like her, I want to be with her, and I want to take care of her for the rest of my life."
These love words were said by her with righteous words, and they seemed to have a more serious flavor. Everyone in the living room was a little stunned except Jian Yan, especially Du Yan. She picked her ears suspiciously. What did this child just say? I like her? ? ? Du Yan's hair stood up. She knew Ji Yunxin's temperament very well. She had been the same since she was a child. If she didn't look a bit like her, she really thought that Ji Yunxin was the one she reported to the hospital. She had a cold personality and was serious about everything she did. She never joked since she was a child. She was very serious. When she went to school for the first time, other children hugged their parents' legs and refused to let go and cried heartbreakingly. She was good, sitting in the class with an old face. In the end, she cried heartbreakingly and couldn't bear to leave Ji Yunxin. Thinking back to Ji Yunxin's childhood, let alone feelings, even private affairs were very few. Don't even think about hearing about her private life from her mouth. There were no friends around her. She was like a machine. Now this machine actually had feelings and confessed!
Oh my god!
Du Yan wanted to jump upstairs and pull Ji Shuiquan down, so that he could hear with his own ears the sweet words his daughter said when she became aware of the truth. It was so touching!
Du Yan's face was filled with joy that his daughter had grown up. Ji Songlin beside him was a little confused. It was only after Jian Yan coughed lightly that he came back to his senses: "Everyone can say nice things, but others will only believe you if you make achievements."
Ji Yunxin nodded: "Grandpa is right."
Seeing that everyone was scolding her, Jian Yan shouted, "Grandpa, it's getting late. I'll take you back to your room to rest."
It was obvious that she was looking for a way out. Ji Songlin came back to his senses from the shock and nodded: "Okay, Yanyan, help me back to the house."
Jian Yan helped Ji Songlin stand up. Just as Ji Yunxin was about to help him on the other side, Ji Songlin snorted, "I don't want your help!"
Ji Yunxin pursed her lips and took a step back, watching Jian Yan and Ji Songlin return to the house.
Ji Songlin was not as strong as before, and he moved his room from the second floor to the first floor. Jian Yan came in once before, and just like last time, everything was tidied up. After Ji Songlin returned to the room, he closed the door and said to Jian Yan: "Yan Yan, grandpa doesn't want to interfere in your affairs, but you..."
It is true that she had been hurt before. When her parents passed away, he promised to take good care of Jian Yan, but he didn't do it. Over the years, Jian Yan has always been a thorn in his heart. He felt sorry for Jian Yan, but didn't know how to make up for it. Unexpectedly, after twists and turns, Yun Xin actually discovered Jian Yan's good side and fell in love with her.
Jian Yan nodded when she heard this. She helped Ji Songlin sit on the bed and said softly, "Grandpa, I know you are worried about me, but what happened before is over. Let's just move on."
"Then Yunxin, what are you going to do?"
"I still like her." Jian Yan did not pretend in front of Ji Songlin and said frankly: "But I dare not accept her, Grandpa, I am not as brave as before."
There was some mist in Ji Songlin's cloudy eyes: "It's not your fault, Yanyan, it's not your fault, it's Grandpa's fault."
"Not really." Jian Yan tilted her head. Although her eyes were tearful, she looked surprisingly calm. She looked at Ji Songlin and said, "Grandpa, I don't regret marrying Yun Xin at all."
She smiled after she finished speaking: "Similarly, I don't regret divorcing Yun Xin at all."
If she hadn't loved too blindly and too persistently, she wouldn't have chosen to marry Ji Yunxin. In those three years, what she wiped out was not her love for Ji Yunxin, but her own dignity. So she chose to divorce, not because she didn't love him anymore, but because she wanted to pick up her self-esteem. Su Ziqi was right. Everyone has the right to choose. What's important is not what you choose, but whether you can bear the consequences. She never regretted getting married or divorced. To this day, she is grateful to Ji Yunxin for treating her like that when he didn't like her. Although he was cold and ruthless, he made her pick up her dignity. She liked someone so much that she had no bottom line before. Now she suddenly realized that if she hadn't divorced, if Ji Yunxin suddenly figured it out during that time and went home, then her life would be over. She would continue to like her without dignity for the rest of her life and lose herself. Would such a person without any shining points make herself happy? Even if Ji Yunxin stayed by her side for responsibility, over time, both sides would suffer.
So she will not accept it easily this time. She has to wait until she is ready. Since Ji Yunxin wants to be her best gift, she also needs to be the best herself. That way, when she accepts Ji Yunxin, she will not be afraid or worried, and will not be anxious about gains and losses.
Ji Songlin nodded after hearing her words: "Yan Yan, you have grown up."
"You and Yunxin have grown up, and it is grandpa who is old."
Jian Yan sat beside him and said, "Grandpa, you will never grow old in Yan Yan's heart."
Ji Songlin burst into tears after hearing what she said. He patted Jian Yan's hand and said, "Good girl."
It was clearly his fault, but Jian Yan said she had no regrets and took all the responsibility so that he wouldn't feel guilty. Yun Xin was so lucky to meet her, and the Ji family was also so lucky to meet her.
When Jian Yan came out of Ji Songlin's room, Ji Yunxin was waiting outside. When she saw Jian Yan coming out, she went to greet her and asked, "Grandpa is resting?"
"Yeah, I'm resting." Jian Yan walked to the kitchen and poured a glass of milk: "Where are Auntie and Xiaohan?"
"I asked them to go back to the house and rest."
Naturally, there was a lot of gossip. Du Yan asked questions like a child, even about the progress, and said she wanted to help her with advice. Ji Yunxin politely declined her kindness. Du Yan also pulled Ji Han to cry, as if she had been a heartless person. Ji Yunxin had never been able to deal with Du Yan's many dramas, so she asked her father to come down and take Du Yan away. Ji Han was much easier to deal with. She handed it over with a cold look, and Ji Han went back to the house obediently.
Jian Yan nodded while drinking the milk. After finishing it, she poured another cup and asked belatedly, "Do you want some?"
Ji Yunxin took the cup from her hand and took a big sip, smiling: "Sweet."
Jian Yan tilted her head to look at her without saying anything. She filled her glass again. Just as Ji Yunxin was about to speak, her cell phone rang. She raised her hand to answer it: "Hello."
It was Fu Qiang. There was a problem with the N2 project. He couldn't make a decision, so he contacted Ji Yunxin. After hearing what he said, Ji Yunxin frowned and looked serious: "What else?"
There was mumbling on the other end of the phone, and Jian Yan saw Ji Yunxin and whispered to herself: "I'll go to the study first."
Jian Yan nodded, then realized that there was no need for Ji Yunxin to report to her. She turned around and saw Ji Yunxin walking up the stairs slowly with a cell phone in hand. His steps were steady. Jian Yan immediately thought of what she had just said in the flower garden.
"It's okay, Yanyan, don't be afraid, I won't leave your side this time."
"I will always be with you."
As she thought about it, she couldn't help but smile and took another sip of milk. The sweet feeling spread from the tip of her tongue to her heart. She thought, let's wait a little longer until she is ready, ready to accept Ji Yunxin again.
Ji Yunxin didn't come downstairs. After drinking the milk, Jian Yan went back to the room and lay on the bed. The bridal room was still the same as when she left, with a few simple furnishings and a magazine on the bedside table. She reached out and took it and flipped through two pages casually, then put it back after finding it funny. Just as she got up and was about to take a shower, she heard a message on her phone. Jian Yan looked down and saw it was a message from Su Ziqi: Do you want me to pick you up tomorrow
Jian Yan thought for a while and said: I will go there with Mr. Ji tomorrow.
Su Ziqi replied to her: Haven’t you slept yet
Jian Yan put her hand on her forehead. Not only had she not gone to bed yet, she hadn't even washed up yet. She typed: I'll be getting ready for bed soon.
Su Ziqi: It seems that the birthday boy is very busy tonight, so I won’t disturb you. By the way, you can check Weibo when you have time.
After Jian Yan and Su Ziqi said good night to each other, they went to Weibo and saw that the hot search was actually congratulations.
#The boss of Chuangshi and Qiao Yin have a secret meeting#
Qiao Yin is a very popular female artist nowadays, she started out as a model and shot to fame after filming a drama two years ago. She has a lot of high-quality resources and has been rumored to be being kept by someone. Last year, she got married to a male artist who just debuted, and the topic of being kept was suppressed. Unexpectedly, she was photographed by paparazzi dating He Yi, the boss of Chuangshi!
Jian Yan scrolled down and saw that most of the comments were very serious, saying that it was not the first time, it had happened before, that the male artist had green grassland on his head, and there were also popular science stories about He Yi playing with female artists and refusing to pay their debts. In the end, you wouldn't know anything if it wasn't involved, and once it was involved, a lot of things were involved. Weibo was bustling for a while, and netizens were particularly interested in this kind of "affair". In addition, there were insiders, insiders, and friends of He Yi breaking the news. Weibo was full of gory news for a while. Jian Yan was so engrossed in reading that she almost forgot to take a shower. Half an hour later, Jian Yan reluctantly put down her phone and went to the bathroom.
After Ji Yunxin hung up the phone, she stood in the study for a long time. N2 was not a project of Jingyi Company, but a project of the branch company in Country J. The branch company was founded by her and was not in the entertainment industry, but in real estate. Last year, the N1 project was a complete success, and N2 was subsequently pushed out. Everything was ready and waiting to start construction. She had personally checked these projects before, and this year she handed over the branch company to the person in charge there. The person in charge's surname was Luo, and his name was Luo Shi. He was a little older than her and had always been the deputy general manager of the branch company. She had just promoted him to general manager this year and gave him great power. She didn't expect that he would make a move before the construction of N2 started. Fu Qiang called to inform her because he wanted to say that Luo Shi wanted to swallow up the branch company. Probably because she hadn't been there for so long, and there were rumors outside that she was sick, so he dared to be so arrogant. Ji Yunxin stood at the window with her hands behind her back, her eyes heavy.
The night wind was rising outside the window, rolling up the dead branches and leaves and swirling in the air. After observing for a few minutes, Ji Yunxin turned off the light in the study and walked out. There was no one downstairs and all the lights were turned off. She turned back to the room and opened the door and was stunned. The light in the room was on. Then she realized that this was the wedding room and Jian Yan had lived here before. Just as she was about to leave, Jian Yan walked out of the bathroom. The two of them stood at the door, one at the bathroom door, looking at each other. It was Ji Yunxin who spoke first: "I lived here before, so I..."
Jian Yan pulled off the dry towel that bound her hair. Her long black hair fell down to her waist. She took two steps forward and said, "Are you staying here? Then I'll sleep in the guest room."
Ji Yunxin said: "No need."
She still has her own room. She only slept here every night because she missed Jian Yan too much before. Now that Jian Yan is back, she doesn't need to fight for a room. Jian Yan took two steps forward and said, "I'll sleep in the guest room."
"You can sleep here." Ji Yunxin looked at Jian Yan. She had just finished a shower and had taken off her makeup. Her skin was white and clean, her hair was not wet, her bangs hung in front of her forehead, slightly covering her eyebrows. Her eyes were shining in the crystal lamp, her pupils were dark and clear, and there was a small reflection of herself in them. After looking for a few seconds, Ji Yunxin said, "I'm in the next room."
The next room is Ji Yunxin's room. Jian Yan used to come back and saw that Ji Yunxin hadn't returned home and secretly slept in her bed. She wanted to run into Ji Yunxin once, but she never succeeded. Now hearing her say this, Jian Yan nodded slightly: "Yeah."
Ji Yunxin took two steps back and said to Jian Yan, "It's getting late, you should get some rest."
Jian Yan nodded again: "Okay."
The door of the room closed gently, and within two seconds someone knocked on it. Jian Yan opened the door, and Ji Yunxin, who was standing outside, said, "I'll go in and get some clean clothes."
Jian Yan half moved aside, and Ji Yunxin walked in and opened the closet. She took out her own clothes and walked out with her head down. Jian Yan smiled at her and closed the door.
Two seconds later, there was a knock on the door. Jian Yan was at a loss: "What else does Mr. Ji want to say?"
Ji Yunxin grabbed her clothes and said to her, "Happy birthday."
Jian Yan was slightly surprised, and it took her two seconds to come back to her senses. She bit her lip and said, "Thank you."
Seeing that she was about to close the door, Ji Yunxin called out again, "Yan Yan."
Jian Yan raised her eyes and did not close the door. She just stood at the door and stared at Ji Yunxin, as if waiting for her to speak. Ji Yunxin looked a little unnatural under her scorching gaze. She coughed lightly: "Yan Yan..."
Jian Yan took the initiative to ask: "Do you think the shower in your room is broken and want to borrow my bathroom to take a shower?"
Ji Yunxin's eyes lit up when she heard this reason, and she immediately asked, "Is it convenient?"
Jian Yan smiled at her, her features were gentle, but her words were cold and ruthless: "Of course it's not convenient."
'Bang!'
The door was closed for the third time. Ji Yunxin lowered his head and touched the tip of his nose, feeling a little stuffy in his chest.
The author has something to say: Thirty random little red envelopes, it seems that some cuties are worried that it will end too quickly, don’t worry, Yanyan and Ji will always be sweet together before the story ends.
ps: Let’s open the game, who will bet on whom for the first time after reconciliation!
Ji Yunxin: Yanyan, my chest feels stuffy and I feel so uncomfortable.
Jian Yan: What do you want to do
Ji Yunxin: I want you to give me artificial respiration.
Jian Yan: …
