Xu Yingjia was sure that Lu Yao was not forced onto the pirate ship by Ji Guanxin, so she hung up the phone with confidence.
Lu Yao returned the phone to Ji Guanxin, but Ji Guanxin didn't answer it. He said out loud: "Take it. She won't have to call you when she gets home later."
Lu Yao was worried about Xu Yingjia, so she asked her to call her home.
Hearing this, she took the phone in her hand. Ji Guanxin said: "Let's go. Go home."
If it weren't for Ji Guanxin, Lu Yao might never have the chance to walk in here in her life. Just from the roadside to the gate. The huge front square is enough for two people to walk for a few minutes.
Ji Guanxin usually drives in and out, but today was the first time he walked home.
Go into the community. Looking around, there are all park-like trees and buildings. There are Western-style street lights every few steps. But Lu Yao is short-sighted. And I don’t wear glasses, so I can’t see clearly at night.
When passing under a street lamp, Ji Guanxin clearly saw her take a step forward.
In fact, Lu Yao reacted the first second after crossing. The black 'stick' on the ground. It's actually the shadow of a lamppost.
Deep down, I cursed myself for being blind. Ji Guanxin's nonchalant laughter came from beside him, and he said, "If you don't know, you'd think you were drunk."
Lu Yao instinctively replied: "Have you never seen someone with bad eyes?"
Ji Guanxin said with a smile: "Bad eyesight and bad brain are two different concepts."
Lu Yao felt suffocated. He pursed his lips and said nothing.
The two of them continued walking forward, and there were shadows cast by lampposts on the ground again. Ji Guanxin said deliberately: "Hey, be careful, don't trip and fall."
Lu Yao glared secretly and said aloud: "Is it interesting?"
Ji Guanxin smiled and said, "It's interesting."
She quickened her pace and walked forward, passing Ji Guanxin. Ji Guanxin's eyes were full of smiles and he said loudly: "Walking so fast, do you know the road?"
When Lu Yao heard this, she couldn't help but slow down. He came over and reached out to take her hand. Half of Lu Yao's body was numb and she couldn't shake it away. She said in a deep voice: "There are no outsiders here, so there is no need to act."
Ji Guanxin said: "What are you playing? You are my girlfriend, why don't we just hold hands?"
Finally returning to this topic, Lu Yao thought of what she had said on the phone before. She lowered her eyes slightly and said after a while: "Ji Guanxin, I thank you for letting Jian Chengli go home, and thank you for coming to save her today. Me, I’m not a ungrateful person, but I don’t want to fall in love.”
She rarely said so many words at once, not to mention that these words were full of 'sincerity'. Ji Guanxin took Lu Yao's hand and asked her, "Why don't you want to fall in love?"
Lu Yao didn't say anything immediately, so Ji Guanxin added, "Maybe I should ask you, why don't you want to fall in love with me?"
This question was the point of the question. Lu Yao was silent for a moment and replied: "We are not suitable."
Ji Guanxin smiled: "Who said we are not suitable?"
Lu Yao said: "I said so. We are not from the same place."
Ji Guanxin said: "What does it mean to be a stranger?"
Lu Yao secretly adjusted her breathing. She was not sure whether the next words would make Ji Guanxin unhappy, but the current situation forced her to tell the truth.
She originally wanted to say that she was not the daughter of the Jian family, nor did she come from a well-known family. She also had a boring personality and did not understand tact and sophistication. She and he are like two extremes, and it turns out that they don't get along. They have been at odds with each other since they met until now.
If she had to list them one by one, Lu Yao could name at least a dozen or twenty, but there were thousands of words to say. When the words came to her lips, she just said: "I am not a person who can afford to play."
When Ji Guanxin heard this, he raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "You mean, I am very good at playing?"
Lu Yao said nothing and did not comment.
Ji Guanxin was so unjust that he couldn't laugh or cry. He said: "Have you seen any gossip reports about me in recent years? Even if there are, they are all based on rumors. When did I admit that I have a girlfriend?"
Lu Yao still didn't speak, and Ji Guanxin continued: "Yes, I have a face that looks easy to play with, but my looks were given by my parents. What can I do? You can't judge a person by his appearance."
Lu Yao knew that he was a poor talker and deliberately teased her. She said aloud: "I will remember all the help you have given me. If you need my help in the future..."
"I don't need your help for anything, I just want you to be my girlfriend."
Ji Guanxin didn't even raise his eyebrows, he said it as a matter of course.
Lu Yao's heart trembled. She said so many words in vain. She planned to follow the temptation, but she didn't get enough.
Lu Yao felt inexplicably irritable in her heart. Lu Yao didn't have time to think about where this emotion came from. She just frowned slightly and said loudly: "Ji Guanxin, can you not be like this?"
Ji Guanxin said: "I'm so persistent in stalking you and you still ignore me. If I let you go, wouldn't you not even show your back to me?"
Lu Yao said: "We can be friends."
Ji Guanxin thought to himself, as far as they were friends, the two of them had sex several times, and when she was so content with holding him that she shed tears, why didn't she treat him as a friend
Cursing secretly in his heart, Ji Guanxin said calmly: "Let's talk for a while and try. If you really feel it's inappropriate, then let's separate."
What Lu Yao was afraid of was inappropriateness. She knew in her heart, how could she be with Ji Guanxin? She obviously doesn't like him, and even if they were together, it would be a waste of time for each other.
Ji Guanxin was afraid that she would refuse, so he quickly added: "What happened tonight will definitely make the headlines tomorrow, so be mentally prepared."
Lu Yao's heart skipped a beat. How could she have forgotten that Ji Guanxin held her hand tonight and declared in a high-profile manner that she was his girlfriend? How could such a big news not make the headlines
Lu Yao couldn't help but frown, but said nothing.
Ji Guanxin took her hand and walked to a certain unit. While swiping his card, he said, "You don't have to worry too much. I'm just reminding you that I will ask the media to focus on the hotel's vulnerability management. However, People nowadays, as you know, their focus is always on entertainment and gossip.”
Lu Yao said softly: "I'm causing trouble for you."
Ji Guanxin said: "I am happy to help you."
One sentence made Lu Yao confused and didn't know how to respond.
The two took the elevator to the top 28th floor. The elevator door opened and they were directly in a private corridor. Gucci striped slippers were placed in front of the corridor.
Lu Yao saw the women's pair at a glance, placed among several pairs of men's slippers, very conspicuous.
Ji Guanxin followed her gaze and said, "My sister comes over sometimes, and the shoes are prepared for her."
Lu Yao felt that her thoughts had been seen through, and couldn't help but reply: "You don't have to explain to me."
Ji Guanxin said: "You are my girlfriend, so I have to say some things clearly to avoid you thinking that I am not doing well in my private life."
After saying that, he put on his slippers and walked to the fingerprint security door. As he walked, he said, "Except for my sister, you are the first woman to come here. My mother has never been here."
The more he talked about Lu Yao, the more embarrassed she became. Standing behind him, she tried to pretend to be calm, but in fact, she was already restless in her heart.
Putting his palm on the special identification system, with a beep, the keyboard for entering the password appeared. Ji Guanxin pressed a series of numbers, and the door opened automatically.
Lu Yao followed Ji Guanxin and stepped inside. He reached out and turned on the light, and his vision suddenly brightened.
The houses here are all two-story duplexes with an area of more than 220 square meters. Ji Guanxin likes light colors, so the decoration of the room, from wallpaper to lights, from furnishings to furniture, is all light colors.
Lu Yao walked through the entrance hall, and her eyes suddenly opened up. The spacious living room was sixty or seventy square meters, and the crystal lamp above her head illuminated the room as bright as day. Beige curtains hang from the second floor to the first floor, blocking the view outside the window.
In the corner of the living room is a large circular sofa seven or eight meters long. The sofa is off-white, and there is a large area under the feet of a light gray plush carpet.
But what caught Lu Yao's attention the most was not the home furnishings, but the dozens of Bunny rabbits of various sizes and colors surrounded on the imperial concubine's couch by the window.
Every girl will like cute plush toys, and Lu Yao is no exception.
Suddenly seeing a group of rabbits on the sofa, Lu Yao's eyes showed surprise and surprise.
Of course, she was happy, but when she was surprised, she instinctively thought that Ji Guanxin didn't seem like someone who collected stuffed toys, so these rabbits were...
"My sister also bought it. She said it wasn't popular at home, so she bought some rabbits for decoration."
Lu Yao heard this and said softly: "She is right."
Ji Guanxin asked: "Do you also think there is no popularity here?"
Lu Yao nodded. The decoration of the house was of course top-notch, but good decoration did not mean that it was warm. From the moment she entered the house, she felt like a model house.
When Ji Guanxin saw her nodding, he said aloud: "Go around each room and see which one you like. I'll bring you the quilt."
Lu Yao will stay here tonight, with Ji Guanxin and a roof above their heads.
She said in her heart that it was impossible to be calm. Lu Yao tried hard to control her facial expression and look calm. She said: "No need to look, I can live anywhere."
Ji Guanxin said: "Then come up. There is a guest room upstairs."
Lu Yao and Ji Guanxin came to the second floor. He opened a door and turned on the light. The room was about 20 square meters, and the floor was covered with light-colored carpets, the same color as the wallpaper on the walls.
Lu Yao stood at the door of the room and asked, "Do you want to change your shoes?"
Ji Guanxin said: "No, just go in."
She stepped inside and he followed her: "Okay?"
Lu Yao nodded and responded: "Okay, thank you."
Ji Guanxin said: "You can rest for a while or take a shower. I'll get you a quilt."
He turned around and walked out. Lu Yao looked at his back and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She would always feel inexplicably nervous when she was with him.
