Back in the dormitory, Xu Yingjia put on headphones and started watching a movie, while Lu Yao was on the upper bunk holding a bracelet and wrapping it around her wrist. Tossing and turning.
Stayed up until almost nine o'clock. She couldn't hold it back anymore and sent a text message to Ji Guanxin, asking: You didn't call me at night. Jiajia even made a bet with me. Do you want me to lose
After waiting for twenty minutes, Ji Guanxin didn't reply.
Lu Yao suddenly felt a little flustered. Ji Guanxin would not stop contacting her for no reason. Could it be that something happened to him
Thinking. She no longer hesitated and quickly made a phone call.
the other side. In the top-floor office of a cutting-edge company with no lights on. Ji Guanxin sat alone on the leather chair, his whole body hidden in the darkness.
There are people working overtime in the company, but not on this level. He had been sitting here for almost six hours.
Lu Yao’s text message. He saw it. I just don't want to go back.
Now I saw the screen light up again, it was her call. Bright white light illuminated his face, and there was no expression on Ji Guanxin's handsome face. Just look closely at his eyes, and there is a trace of disgust and anger hidden under those black pupils.
The feeling of being deceived is really unpleasant.
He also lied and deceived people, and Liang Zijin always said that his acting skills were top-notch and that he could become an Oscar winner. At that time, Ji Guanxin didn't take it seriously because he was not the one who was deceived and could not empathize with him. Now things are really turning around. This In this world, there really is a word of retribution.
He knew a lot of people, and he always felt that Lu Yao was very innocent, but he didn't expect... Humph. There are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the world, but he thinks too much of himself.
He didn't answer, and the phone screen stayed on. Ji Guanxin found it funny inexplicably. He used to take the initiative to call her. Why was she so persistent today that she rushed to see him
The phone rang for more than half a minute. Ji Guanxin raised his right hand, picked up the phone on the table, and opened the green button.
"Hi." His voice was calm, without any emotion.
Lu Yao was stunned for a moment and felt that Ji Guanxin was in something wrong, but she didn't think much about it and just asked softly: "What's the matter with you over there?"
Ji Guanxin said 'hmm', "We're in a meeting."
Lu Yao immediately felt relieved and said quickly: "Then hurry up and get busy. I won't disturb you anymore. Bye."
Lu Yao hung up the phone obediently. Ji Guanxin's heart, which had been numb for several hours, suddenly stabbed hard again. She is really capable. With just one phone call and two sentences, she can easily stir up his emotions.
He suddenly felt like a fool. He was already thirty-three years old, not a young man in his early twenties who knew nothing. In the past few years, he has lived a stable and quiet life. Everyone thought that he had matured and changed, but now Ji Guanxin realized that he was really stupid, and he was fooled around by a pair of people in their early twenties!
Doesn't she love Jian Chengli and would go through life and death for him? Then Jian Chengli is fine, so why is she still staying by his side? Do you think he is stupid and easy to cheat? Or was he afraid that if he suddenly left, he would provoke Jian Chengli again
The more he thought about it, the angrier he felt, but it would have been okay if it was just pure anger. He couldn't deceive anyone about the pain in his heart.
Lu Yao hung up after only twelve seconds of talking to Ji Guanxin. Xu Yingjia, who was on the lower bunk, took off her earphones and asked, "Why did you hang up so quickly?"
Lu Yao replied with a calm expression: "He is in a meeting."
Xu Yingjia said: "No wonder, I've become tired of you by now."
Lu Yao's mood improved, and Ji Guanxin didn't contact her because something happened.
Seeing Lu Yao's relaxed face, Xu Yingjia couldn't help teasing her: "You are one of the legendary people in love, someone who leads you by the nose."
"What?" Lu Yao asked with a frown.
Xu Yingjia folded her arms, pretending to be an old scholar, and spoke word by word: "How long did you say you have been with Ji Guanxin? It was obviously Ji Guanxin who was chasing you, but did you realize it?" I found that you have developed a habit, and now whenever he doesn't call you on time or disappears suddenly, you will immediately panic. "
"Where can I have it?"
"Don't make excuses. You were absent-minded while eating. You kept looking at your phone. Aren't you waiting for Ji Guanxin? Who are you waiting for?"
Lu Yao was pushed to the corner by Xu Yingjia. She had nothing to refute. She rolled her eyes and replied: "You said that, please tell me to be more proactive and not act like someone owes me money."
Xu Yingjia raised her neck and looked at Lu Yao on the upper bunk: "I didn't say you did anything wrong, I just said your current psychological changes. You already like Ji Guanxin, so you start to care about him all the time and want to know where he is. do what."
Lu Yao blushed at first and was a little embarrassed, but then she realized that she and Ji Guanxin had such a relationship, so there was nothing wrong even if she got on the boat first and paid for it later. Is there anything wrong with her liking him
Xu Yingjia could see what Lu Yao was thinking at a glance. She crossed her arms and said, "If Ji Guanxin is very serious with you, then you have to respond to him very sincerely. It's a good thing for you two. It's not like Cinderella married into a wealthy family." Fairy tale, look at Liang Zijin and Luo Xiangdong, Liang Zijin is also an ordinary person with no background. "
Liang Zijin married Luo Xiangdong. This is indeed a realistic example of Cinderella marrying into a wealthy family. But Ji Guanxin and her... Lu Yao didn't dare to think too much, for fear that the outcome would disappoint her.
After a moment of silence, Lu Yao said, "Forget it, I don't want to think about this now. It's not up to me to decide whether to get married or not."
Xu Yingjia said: "You are right to have such a mentality. Haven't you heard anyone say why some people always like to get hurt? Just because they have only been in love for two days, she already wants to be with the other person forever, give birth to a son and buy a dog. She is so serious. , no wonder it’s sad.”
In fact, Lu Yao did not dare to tell the truth to Xu Yingjia, she was also such a person. Once you admit the truth, it will be difficult to look back. He said he didn't want to care, but in his heart he cared more than anyone else.
It would be okay if she wasn't emotional, but now, she no longer has the initiative, and she can only leave it to fate in the future.
The next morning, Lu Yao accompanied Xu Yingjia to two classes before preparing to return to the city.
Xu Yingjia said: "If you want to go back, go back as soon as possible. Why are you stuck at this point in time?"
Lu Yao said: "In order to fulfill your lie, I told him that I didn't have time this morning."
Xu Yingjia smiled and said: "Oh, relationships are all about acting. You have learned it badly now."
Lu Yao glared at her, said hello, then left the school and took the high-speed train back to the city.
On the way, she called Ji Guanxin, who still took a long time to answer the phone. She thought he was still sleeping, but his voice sounded quite awake.
Lu Yao said: "It's strange that you didn't sleep in."
Ji Guanxin's voice returned to its usual low and melodious tone. He said, "Where are you? Are you finished with school?"
Lu Yao responded: "Already on the high-speed train back to the city."
Ji Guanxin asked: "When will you arrive? I'll pick you up."
Lu Yao said: "There's still half an hour. You don't have to come to pick me up. I'll go find you wherever you are."
Ji Guanxin said: "You haven't had lunch yet, tell me what you want to eat, and I'll find a place."
Lu Yao was in a good mood, so she rolled her eyes and replied: "I've already treated you to a late-night snack, so you have to spend some money to treat me to a big meal, right?"
Ji Guanxin chuckled and replied: "Okay, then come to Maxim, I will wait for you."
Lu Yao hung up the phone and went to look through the bracelet box with a beautiful lace bow inside her bag. She rearranged the edges of the bow and made sure it was a perfect symmetrical knot. Then she sat quietly in her seat and waited. Arriving at the station.
As soon as the high-speed train stopped, Lu Yao walked out quickly, took a taxi to Maxim, mentioned Ji Guanxin's name, and the waiter took her to a private room upstairs.
When she pushed the door and entered, Lu Yao thought she would see Ji Guanxin's face first, but there was no one in the huge private room, and Ji Guanxin was not there.
Lu Yao sat down on a pure French high-back chair. After waiting for a while, when there was no sign of Ji Guanxin, she took out her mobile phone and called him.
Ji Guanxin didn't answer, but texted her back, saying he was in a meeting and asking her to wait for a while.
Lu Yao replied: It's okay, you are busy with your business.
She thought he would arrive in forty minutes and an hour at the latest. Otherwise, two hours would be enough, right? If it was a particularly long meeting, he would tell her. Why was there no movement at all
Lu Yao waited from just after 12 noon to 3:30 in the afternoon.
No waiter came in to disturb her. She also wanted to ask Ji Guanxin what was going on, but she was afraid of disturbing him.
Xu Yingjia called during the process, and Lu Yao answered.
Xu Yingjia smiled and asked, "Are you with my brother-in-law?"
Lu Yao inevitably sighed from her nose and said softly: "He is in a meeting and hasn't come yet."
"Meeting again? Then where are you?"
"I'm in the restaurant."
Xu Yingjia said: "Don't tell me that you were in the restaurant after getting off the high-speed train and waited until now?"
Lu Yao also felt a little embarrassed, so she made an excuse for Ji Guanxin: "He told me that he was going to have a meeting. It should be a very important meeting. Anyway, I have nothing to do. I have snacks and drinks sitting here, so I won't be hungry. "
Xu Yingjia said: "I always thought that my brother-in-law's full-time job was to play with you. I didn't expect that he is usually so busy. I should have known that you shouldn't have wasted so many days at school. It's over now. You are free, and it is someone else's turn to be busy again. ”
Lu Yao lowered her eyes slightly, took a silver spoon to dig into the cherry blossom cake in front of her, and said one after another: "Even if we both have time, we can't play all the time, right? He will come later, I have to tell him that I have to go to my normal internship, what’s the point of staying here all the time?”
Just as she was talking, the door behind her was suddenly pushed open. Lu Yao turned her head and saw that the waiter opened the door and welcomed Ji Guanxin, who was wearing a white shirt and dark blue casual trousers, and walked in.
Lu Yao waved to greet him, and then said to the person on the phone: "I won't tell you anymore."
Xu Yingjia said: "Ah? So sudden? What's wrong? My brother-in-law is here?"
