Jian Chengli had known... He had known this would be the result.
Lu Yao doesn't like him, and his liking for her is just a burden to her. Even disgust.
Obviously know. But he still made it this far.
The self-mockery on his face became more and more obvious. Jian Chengli looked at Lu Yao with a lump in his throat.
He wanted to tell her. He didn't think anything of it. Just... I simply want her to know.
Seeing him standing there, pursing his lips and saying nothing. Lu Yao forced a straight face and said in a lukewarm voice: "Brother, there is no conflict or unhappiness between me and you, but Jian Beibei and I are destined to not live in peace. I didn't drink much last night. . Why did you suddenly faint and then be here?”
Before Jian Chengli could get over his sadness and self-deprecation, he suddenly heard Lu Yao's words and subconsciously changed the topic. Then she said, "What do you mean?"
Lu Yao's eyes were deep. He only replied: "Jian Beibei came to see me before."
The confusion in Jian Chengli's eyes flashed away. However, he quickly connected the cause and effect, so he subconsciously asked: "What do you think Beibei did to you?"
Lu Yao was silent. The default is made clear.
Jian Chengli frowned lightly, but did not say whether it was Jian Beibei who did it. He just looks ugly.
Seeing this, Lu Yao said: "Brother, you have been having a rough time recently. I think you may be in a bad mood. Today is your birthday. I wish you a happy birthday. If nothing happens, I'll leave first. ”
Jian Chengli and Lu Yao have known each other for so many years, but she actually calls him brother very rarely. Usually others think they are brother and sister, but they rarely call him brother and sister in private.
But in just a short time, she had called him brother several times in a row. He knew that she was about to draw a clear line.
The thing on his chest felt like it was being gouged out alive. The pain made his muscles tighten, but in front of her, he couldn't scream the pain.
They were several meters apart, but he could no longer touch her.
His distressed mind was blank. Jian Chengli looked at Lu Yao without blinking. He opened his lips slightly and moved a few times before making a sound: "Where are you going back? Do you need me to ask someone to take you away?"
Lu Yao said: "No, I'll leave first."
She walked out of the hotel room. The corridor was so long and she walked quickly. It wasn't until she pushed open the safety door at the end and ducked into the stairwell that tears burst down her face.
She was not blind, and it was not that she could not see the hurt and despair in Jian Chengli's eyes. But, what can she say
She could only respond to him with indifference and let him give up.
It turns out that Lu Yao didn't believe in the theory of destiny, but now, she finally believes it. God really loves to tease people. She and Jian Chengli had obviously had opportunities for so many years, but he had to wait until it was impossible for him to tell her that he loved her.
My heart, it’s impossible to say it doesn’t hurt. Now Lu Yao can only use reason to force herself. Only in this way is the best outcome for everyone.
Don't break the connection, don't push and pull, some words are only suitable for rotting in the heart for a lifetime.
When Xu Yingjia received Lu Yao's call, she was sitting in a coffee shop with Zhan Bai. When she heard that Lu Yao was coming to find her, she immediately reported her specific location.
After she hung up the phone, Zhan Bai on the other side asked, "Where is she?"
Xu Yingjia frowned and replied, "I don't know either." Listening to Lu Yao's low voice, she knew she was feeling depressed without asking.
Zhan Bai's face didn't look very good, and he rubbed the edge of the coffee cup with his fingers. He said solemnly: "I always feel that nothing good is going on, and I feel uneasy."
When Xu Yingjia, who was opposite him, heard this, his eyes widened slightly, and he said repeatedly: "That's right, my heart has been agitated, and I always feel like something is about to happen."
Lu Yao arrived in just ten minutes. When Xu Yingjia and Zhan Bai saw her red eyes, they immediately panicked and hurriedly asked her what happened.
Lu Yao wanted to deal with it casually, but when she thought that the two of them had been struggling all night and ran back to the city just because they were worried about her, she had no reason to fool around.
But once a lot of words are said, they only feel awkward.
Lu Yao leaned back on the chair tiredly and whispered: "Jian Chengli said he likes me."
As soon as these words came out, both Zhan Bai and Xu Yingjia were silent. There wasn't much surprise or surprise on his face, because Jian Beibei had already said that now he was just sitting down.
What they were worried about was where Lu Yao had gone without seeing anyone all night.
"Why didn't you answer the phone? Fortunately, Ji Guanxin was fooled by me. Otherwise, how would you explain it?"
Lu Yao frowned instinctively when she mentioned this. She was not a fool. She clearly didn't drink too much, so how could she suddenly become drunk
Someone must have tampered with something, and the table was full of people yesterday. Except for Jian Beibei, who had no good intentions, she had never offended anyone else.
"I drank a little too much yesterday and slept in the hotel all night."
Lu Yao had no evidence that Jian Beibei did it, but she knew the temperament of Zhan Bai and Xu Yingjia. If she said anything, the two people in front of her would immediately go to confront Jian Beibei. When the matter breaks out, for her, There is no benefit to Jian Chengli.
Since nothing happened last night, she also signaled to Jian Chengli that this matter should be regarded as the last face she gave to the Jian family, forget it.
With Zhan Bai and Xu Yingjia by her side, Lu Yao's mood gradually calmed down to her normal state.
Xu Yingjia said to her: "Let's go back to school later. I told Ji Guanxin that we will have exams all day today. Don't go back and get in trouble."
The three of them had something to eat in the city and then drove back to school.
Lu Yao received a call from Ji Guanxin at noon and found out that Mai Jiahui's father was having a funeral today. She almost subconsciously said, why didn't she tell her earlier
Ji Guanxin didn't see the hesitant expression on her face and asked her, "How did you do in the exam?"
Lu Yao was deeply troubled. She didn't want to lie, but she had to hurry up and say, "It's okay."
Ji Guanxin chuckled and said, "You are not a top student, so why are you okay? I thought you would say it was very good."
Lu Yao gritted her teeth and replied with a slight smile: "I'm very low-key."
Ji Guanxin smiled: "It's better to keep a low profile. It will save too many people from noticing you. You are a famous woman and you can't secretly date other men behind my back. Do you hear me?"
He was just joking, but Lu Yao couldn't even laugh.
If Xu Yingjia hadn't spoken out first, she would have preferred to tell Ji Guanxin directly.
The closer the relationship with him was, the less she wanted to deceive him, and she always felt that she was doing something sorry for him. Fortunately, when she faced Jian Chengli today, she didn't hesitate or delay at all, otherwise she would look down on herself.
Ji Guanxin had nothing to do after finishing the funeral. He asked her: "When will you be finished with school?"
Lu Yao said: "Just these two days."
Ji Guanxin said: "Then I will come over to you now, and you can treat me to a supper tonight."
There was an uncontrollable smile in his voice, and he felt happy whenever he thought of her.
Lu Yao didn't completely calm down, or she didn't think about how to welcome Ji Guanxin again, so she quickly replied: "I don't have time tonight, how about you come back tomorrow?"
Ji Guanxin said slightly dissatisfied: "When will you take the exam? Can you still take the exam until the evening? I'm disturbing you again. I'll wait until you finish your work before you come out."
Lu Yao said: "I have to review for tomorrow's exam tonight, so..." She softened her tone and coaxed him and said: "Don't come now. When I finish my work tomorrow and come back to the city to find you, I will send you Would you like a gift?"
It was rare for her to coax him, and Ji Guanxin was subdued by her in a second. She couldn't wait to ask: "What gift?"
Lu Yao said: "If I don't tell you, how can there be any surprise now that I have told you?"
Ji Guanxin suppressed his laughter: "Are you sure you're not tricking me?"
"What am I doing to you? If you don't want it, forget it."
"If you want it, why don't I wait for you for a whole day?" Ji Guanxin was also hopeless. As soon as Lu Yao cast a spell, he immediately couldn't bear it and showed his true form.
She tried every means to hold him back, preventing him from coming over immediately, but Ji Guanxin tried every means to hold her back, even if it was on the phone, he wanted to listen to her voice more.
Lu Yao stood in the bathroom talking to Ji Guanxin on the phone. The conversation lasted for almost two hours, and the phone was hot.
Xu Yingjia couldn't hold back and wanted to go to the toilet, so she knocked on the door of the dormitory opposite.
The call continued until Lu Yao's phone had less than 10% of the battery left. She said softly: "My phone is about to run out of battery. If there is no movement after talking, then it means turning it off."
Ji Guanxin responded, and then asked, "Where are you? It sounds like it's quite quiet around here."
Lu Yao said: "Bedroom bathroom, didn't you hear the echo?"
Ji Guanxin asked: "You won't take the exam in the afternoon?"
Lu Yao's nerves immediately became tense and she had to lie when she opened her mouth: "I will start the exam at 3:30 in the afternoon."
Ji Guanxin said: "It's almost three o'clock, why don't you get some sleep?"
Everything was fake and made up on the fly. Lu Yao didn't think about the details. She was afraid that she would make too many mistakes, so she hurriedly said: "Then I'll hang up first, and you can go about your business."
Ji Guanxin sighed, and then said: "What am I busy with? I'm going to take the pretty boy out for a walk later, so I can't always throw him into the pet store."
Speaking of the little pretty boy, Lu Yao added: "Take good care of it, I will go back tomorrow."
"Okay, we'll wait for you to come back."
"Well, I'll hang up then."
"kiss Me."
Ji Guanxin's voice suddenly became very low, which made the unprepared Lu Yao tense up and her pores opened.
She held the phone and didn't say anything right away, so Ji Guanxin used a low and sweet male voice to harass her: "Come on, you're in the bathroom. No one can hear you. Kiss me."
His voice was full of bewitching, and Lu Yao was still blushing at him even though they were more than a hundred kilometers apart.
After struggling for a while, she opened her lips lightly and kissed her.
Ji Guanxin waited for a long time: "Where is the person?"
Lu Yao said: "I kissed you!"
"Really? I didn't hear you. Kiss me again, louder."
