Chapter 197: Warsaw (4)
The two walked into a restaurant.
The place was very quiet, there were few guests in it at this time, and the light was surprisingly dim. The pitch-black ceiling is dotted with many small light bulbs, which at first glance look like a sky full of stars, adding to the romantic atmosphere.
I have to say that Ye Chen is very good at choosing places.
"I don't know your name yet." The eyes in the darkness reflect the starlight.
"Ji Qian, my name is Ji Qian." The girl replied with a red face, this was the first time she had talked to Ye Chen face-to-face.
"What a nice name," Ye Chen smiled, "Speaking of which, I haven't had a birthday for a long time." ”
Ji Qian's heart moved, and she suddenly stood up and said, "You wait for me for a while." With that, she ran to the door, and when she reappeared in the dining-room, she had a small cake in her hand.
"Ordinary birthday cakes need to be customized in advance, and I can only make up with this today." Ji Qian's little face was flushed, and fine beads of sweat oozed from her forehead.
She turned to the waiter in the restaurant and asked him for a candle. At this moment, Ji Qian didn't understand why she was doing so much for Ye Chen.
"Thank you, I'm glad you spent my birthday with me." Ye Chen watched Ji Qian light a candle for herself, the firelight reflected on her face, and her face became different from usual.
Ji Qian watched Ye Chen quietly, and gradually, she felt that the light around her was getting dimmer and dimmer, as if the flickering candle flame in front of her merged with Ye Chen's eyes, emitting a ghostly white light.
Ji Qian suddenly felt a chill.
"What's wrong with you?" Ye Chen asked with concern.
Ji Qian shrunk her neck, "It's nothing, you can make a wish." ”
Ye Chen gently closed his eyes and prayed silently, and when he opened them again, he asked Ji Qian, "What about you, what kind of wishes do you have?" ”
"It's been a long time since I had a birthday..."After saying this, countless fragments quickly passed through Ji Qian's mind, which seemed to be the picture of her father celebrating her birthday when she was a child.
Since when did her father stop celebrating her birthday? Ji Qian suddenly felt a little in a trance.
"Then, when you celebrate your birthday, I will also prepare a gift for you." Ye Chen cut the cake and put most of it on Ji Qian's plate.
Ji Qian only ate a few bites before stopping, and the two looked at each other and were silent for a long time.
"The first time you saw me in the bookstore, you recognized me as the person in the photo?" Ji Qian opened her mouth and asked the question that had been haunting her mind recently.
"You may not believe it," Ye Chen touched his nose, "The first time I saw you was on the subway platform, although I only saw your back at that time, I thought it was the person I was looking for." ”
"Why?" Ji Qian was a little curious.
"Perhaps, this is what people often call the sixth sense." Ye Chen replied.
"I mean... Why are you looking for me? Ji Qian asked.
"I don't know," Ye Chen avoided Ji Qian's gaze, "probably because I have always been a little curious about the people in the photo deep down." I always feel that fate will arrange for us to meet. ”
After a meal, Ji Qian's understanding of Ye Chen still stayed at the level of name, and she couldn't help but feel a little sad in the face of separation.
"That's not fair," Ji Qian frowned, "You've been to my house, but I only know your name." ”
"I really don't deserve your knowledge other than my name."
"Are you really like a mystery, can I think you're pretending to be a mystery?"
Ye Chen's face suddenly approached, and his eyes were fixed on Ji Qian: "Do you really want to know me?" If I say—" He paused for a few seconds before slowly spitting out a few words: "I'm not from the same world as you?" ”
"Not a world?" Ji Qian repeated, figuring out what he meant, "Are you saying that we have a big gap in all aspects?" ”
"No, literally." Ye Chen said calmly.
Ji Qian couldn't believe it, but she couldn't see any signs of lying in Ye Chen's eyes, "You deliberately scared me?" ”
Ye Chen replied lightly: "You should be scaring you." ”
Ji Qian did not lose patience, but had been aroused with strong curiosity: "I want to know everything about you." ”
Ye Chen stopped a taxi on the side of the road and sat on it, looked at Ji Qian who was in place and said, "Don't you want to know me?" Let's get in the car. ”
Without the slightest hesitation, Ji Qian got into the taxi. This man, whom she had only known for four days, aroused her intense attention, and she wanted not only to know all about him, but also to intervene in his life.
Taxis stopped in front of a residential building. After getting out of the car, Ji Qian looked around, and a sense of déjà vu came to her heart: "This is your home?" ”
Ye Chen nodded.
"When I was younger, I used to live around here."
Ji Qian had the courage to go upstairs with Ye Chen, this kind of old-fashioned residential floor is not high, of course, there is no elevator, there are only two families on each floor.
At a door on the fourth floor, Ye Chen stopped, and he fumbled around for a while before finding the key and opening the door.
The room was pitch black, and Ji Qian smelled a puff of dust mixed with the smell of decay, and cautiously followed behind Ye Chen: "It looks like no one lives here all year round." ”
"Yes, I've just returned to K-City, and I haven't had time to clean it yet."
"What about your parents?" Ji Qian kept waving her hand to drive away the dust in front of her.
"They... It's not in K City," Ye Chen looked at Ji Qian, "I knew you wouldn't like it here." ”
Ji Qian walked around the living room and said, "Maybe it's good to clean up and add some furniture." ”
She didn't dislike the room, but she liked it a little, and she couldn't help but think about how to decorate it.
Suddenly, a picture flashed in Ji Qian's mind, it was a room with the same layout as here, with mahogany furniture, green plants on the coffee table, light beige curtains swaying in the wind, everything was familiar and beautiful.
"What are you thinking?" Ye Chen asked.
Ji Qian felt a little embarrassed about her whimsy at the moment, and replied vaguely: "It's nothing", and walked towards the innermost room.
"Don't go over." She heard Ye Chen's voice, and the hand that reached for the doorknob trembled.
"There's... It's too messy. Ye Chen said, his expression was a little gloomy, "Don't go in." ”
"Okay." Ji Qian took a few steps back and returned to Ye Chen's side, but her eyes kept staring at the door, she always felt that something was waiting for her in that door.
Ji Qian's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, she suddenly felt a little uneasy, raised her wrist and looked at her watch, it was already twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, she subconsciously remembered her father's advice, hesitated for a while and said, "I should go back." ”
Ye Chen paused for a moment, and then said, "Yes, it's too late, I'll send you back." ”
"No need." Ji Qian quickly walked out of the room and walked down by the dim moonlight in the stairwell.
