Chapter 71: The Lucky One

Chris was very focused when he played. He knew that at this time, Jingzhi was standing behind him, watching him intently, listening to the moving notes he played with his fingers on the keys.

It's just that he doesn't know that at this time, Jingzhi is not thinking about him, but Jason.

I've been folding the scarf he lent me and putting it away in the cupboard for days. I really don't know when I will have the opportunity to go to Ruyiju again and return the scarf to him, Jingzhi thought to herself.

It didn't take long for the living room to fall silent.

Chris turned around, glanced at Jingzhi with a smile, and asked, "What do you think?" Do you like it? ”

"I ......" Jingzhi just came back to her senses and said slowly, "I like ...... very much"

"Thank you!" Chris spoke sincerely, like a virtuoso saying a heartfelt thank you to the audience at the end of a concert.

"I should say thank you!" Jingzhi teased, "Are you letting me enjoy a piano solo up close, or for free, of course I should thank you!" ”

"Haha!" Chris burst out laughing, "It's that exaggerated! I played so-so, not at all at the professional level. ”

"That's good enough," says Jingzhi with a smile, "and it's a great honor for me to be able to enjoy a solo piano so closely." ”

"Really?" Chris said incredulously, "In that case, can you give me a reward?" ”

"Absolutely!" Jingzhi shrugged her shoulders, "I'll go to the kitchen to make tea for you, Tieguanyin, we'll say okay." ”

"Hey......" Chris wanted to say no, but when he saw Jingzhi's happy expression, he couldn't bear to refuse, so he nodded and said, "Thank you!" ”

Jingzhi walked to the kitchen and heard the sound of the piano in the living room, which was "Autumn Whispers".

On such an autumn afternoon, it is really pleasant to quietly enjoy Richard Clayderman's classic music and fantasize about the fairy tales that are about to happen in autumn.

Not long after the song ended, Chris saw Jingzhi walk in with a purple teapot and two small purple teacups.

"Need my help?" Chris asked.

"Ah, no." Jingzhi puts the teapot and teacup on the table.

Chris stood up, walked to the table, moved a chair, and said to Jingzhi, "Come, please sit here." ”

"Good!" After saying that, Jingzhi walked over and sat on the chair.

Chris himself sat in a chair next to Jingzhi.

Jingzhi placed two small teacups in front of Chris and herself, and carefully poured tea for Chris and then poured it for herself.

"Please try it, I brought this tea from home to England."

Chris took a small sip slowly, felt that the bittersweet taste was very good, pursed his lips, and said, "This is the first time I have drunk this tea." ”

"Really? So what do you think? Jingzhi was curious, blinking, "It's a little unaccustomed, after all, this is not the same tea that the British often drink." ”

"Well, it's very different." Chris nodded.

"You know, China is rich in tea, there are ......" Jingzhi was about to list all of China's famous teas, but was interrupted by Chris's words.

"Jingzhi......" Chris said in a slurred voice, "I have something very important to tell you......"

"Something very important?" Jingzhi said to herself in her heart, "What important thing can he do?" Could it be that there is a problem with the photo he just took and he wants to retake it again? ”

"I ......" Chris hesitated for a moment, then swallowed back the words that came to his lips.

Chris took another sip of his tea, trying to gather his thoughts.

Jingzhi saw Chris's serious expression, so she couldn't continue to ask, so she had to pick up the teacup and take two sips.

"I want to say ...... to you" Chris didn't hesitate any longer, choosing to say bluntly: "I love you!"

"Ahem...... Jingzhi couldn't believe her ears, "What did you say?" ”

“I love you !” Chris repeats affectionately, "I love you!"

"What kind of logic is this!" Jingzhi muttered in her heart, "Last second, weren't we still talking about drinking tea?" Make no mistake, this twist is too ...... Wait a minute, what should I say now? Oh my God! ”

At this moment, Jingzhi was very excited in her heart. She kicked both feet and got up from her chair at once.

When Chris saw Jingzhi stand up, he immediately stood up, lowered his head, and stared at Jingzhi stupidly.

Jingzhi stood there quietly, looking dazed, not thinking about what to say.

Chris thought that Jingzhi had acquiesced, but he was shy and didn't dare to say it for a while.

Jingzhi bit her lower lip gently, trying to force herself to say a few words to ease the awkward atmosphere at this time.

Chris didn't read Jingzhi's expression, thinking she was anxiously waiting for a kiss from him.

Chris twisted his neck, his lips now approaching Jingzhi's lips, which were turning crimson from nervousness.

Jingzhi was so frightened that she was like a hare hiding from an eagle, and she "swished" back half a step and was easily "saved".

Chris's face turned red, redder than Jingzhi's lips. He also took a half-step back and slumped into his chair.

Jingzhi noticed that Chris suddenly seemed to be a different person, and came up with a very simple word to ease the awkwardness between them at this time.

She said to Chris with deep apologies: "Sorry......"

"......" now it was Chris's turn to be overwhelmed.

"Sorry......" Jingzhi repeated again, still with deep apologies.

"There's nothing to apologize for." Chris ran his hand through the hair on the top of his head, "You don't have to worry about it. ”

"I want to tell you that you are a very nice person." As she spoke, Jingzhi slowly leaned down and sat down in her chair.

"You don't have to comfort me like that...... "Chris said weakly, "I'm prepared. ”

"Really?" Jingzhi asked in disbelief, "Do you know that I don't love you?" ”

Chris sighed and said, "Ugh...... I already have a vague feeling ......"

He wanted to continue saying "You don't love me", but had to give up temporarily because of the pain in his chest.

"I can't help it," Jingzhi said helplessly, "Emotional things can't be forced......"

"I agree." Chris smiled wryly and said, "Whatever you feel about me, I just want you to know: I love you ......"

After listening to Chris's sincere confession, Jingzhi's eyes moistened.

She said in a slightly trembling voice, "Thank you for being so honest with me. I just want to tell you that in my heart you are a very charismatic English gentleman. Every time we're together, your humor always makes me laugh out loud; Your thoughtfulness will always make me feel like a pampered princess, and I will feel extremely happy; When I'm in trouble, you stand up every time and help me save me. Trust me, you've moved me more than just a little ......"

Hearing Jingzhi's words of comfort, Chris regained his strength a little, straightened up, and said affectionately: "In that case, you can give me a chance, let me prove to you that I am sincere to you." Maybe one day, you'll fall madly in love with me as much as I love you. ”

"No, it won't......" Jingzhi shook her head slightly, "I already have someone in my heart." ”

"Already someone?" Chris's voice became a little muffled, and he asked in a tone of jealousy, "Who?" When? ”

"You don't know him," Jingzhi said calmly, "I only met him last week......

"Last week?" Chris said indignantly, "Just met? You ...... to him."

"Yes," Jingzhi smiled shyly, "I fell in love with him at first sight......

As if grasping at a straw, Chris asked eagerly, "And what about you?" Love at first sight? ”

"This ......" Jingzhi shook her head slightly, "I don't know ......"

"If he doesn't have any feelings for you, will you continue to have a crush on him?" Chris's words were filled with resentment, "Maybe he doesn't love you at all, he doesn't care about you at all!" ”

"Maybe you're right," Jingzhi nodded without a master, "My world is too far away from his, as if it were tens of thousands of light years away. ”

"Then you still ...... him" Chris didn't want to continue, he felt his throat run terribly dry. He poured himself a cup of tea and drank it down.

"I think he has taken root and sprouted in my heart, and he will only grow bigger and bigger in the future, and will never disappear."

"Even if he doesn't love you at all?" Chris asked with suspicion.

"That's the same......" Jingzhi replied without thinking.

"Even if he had his beloved, got married, and had children?" Chris's tone of suspicion grew heavier.

"That's the same......" Jingzhi said categorically.

"Even if instead of protecting you, he mercilessly hurts you and torments you?" Chris's skeptical tone was at its peak.

"That's the same......" Jingzhi smiled slightly and said calmly.

"He's so lucky...... "Chris finally couldn't help it, breathed a sigh of relief, and slumped back in his chair again.
