Chapter 17: The Prom
On Friday, Yijian returned to An's house after work, and saw that An Chengxuan was already waiting for her at home, so she hurriedly returned to her room to change her clothes, took the gift she picked up with Xiyu yesterday, and set off with Chengxuan to Ina's birthday ball.
In the car, Cheng Xuan turned his head to look at Yijian from time to time, "What's wrong, is there anything wrong with me?" Yijian couldn't help but ask.
"No, you're pretty dressed like that." An Chengxuan smiled lightly, and Jian Jian didn't feel that his face was a little hot, this is praise, not ridicule... And it came from An Chengxuan's mouth, which really surprised her, and she was a little happy, and she was shy and didn't know how to answer, so she had to turn out the window silently.
The car stopped at the door of a riverside hotel, An Chengxuan walked to the door to open the door for Yijian, Yijian got out of the car, and was about to go in, Chengxuan snorted a few times, stretched out his hand and gestured to Yijian to hook his arm, Yijian didn't react for a long time, is this the etiquette of the ball, Yijian didn't understand, but finally slowly stretched out his hand and gently hooked Chengxuan's arm and walked into the hotel.
Tan Yina heard the news that An Chengxuan was coming, and happily trotted all the way to find Chengxuan, and after finding Chengxuan's figure, Yina tidied up her dress and walked over. But suddenly found a strange girl standing next to An Chengxuan, Ina looked carefully, the girl was wearing a white shirt, a purple high-waisted dress that was long to the ground, her skin that could be broken by blowing, her pink lips were slightly open, half of her black hair was coiled on her head, and half of it was flowing on her shoulders.
Yina stepped forward and called gently: "Chengxuan~", Chengxuan saw Yina and took Yijian a few steps forward.
"Ina." Yijian greeted. Ina listened to the familiar voice and said in surprise: "Yi.. Simple? Ina didn't expect that the person standing next to Cheng Xuan turned out to be Yijian, who usually looked very ordinary, if she hadn't spoken first, she really wouldn't have recognized it.
Yijian looked at Yina's surprised expression, handed over the gift in her hand, and said slowly: "This is a gift for you, I wish you a happy birthday!" ”
Ina smiled and accepted the gift, "Thank you, I didn't expect you to come, I'm really happy and surprised." Then he took Yijian's hand and walked into the crowd, and Cheng Xuan followed quietly, as if he didn't feel that anything was wrong.
"Ladies and gentlemenWelcome to Miss Tan's birthday ball, first of all, we applaud Boss Tan and her wife from Tan's Pictures to speak for today's ball." The host came to the stage and said.
Then Tan's father and Tan's mother took the stage to express their heartfelt thanks to today's guests, and wished their daughter a happy birthday and always happy, and the audience burst into applause.
"Then, next I will announce the official start of the ball, first of all, I will invite our beautiful Miss Tan and her very handsome boyfriend Mr. An to dance an opening dance for our dance tonight, everyone is welcome..."
Yijian stood far away, watching their gorgeous dance steps, light postures, and joyfully spinning on the dance floor, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, they were really a pair of lovers made in heaven, and they were really a good match. If you think about it again, you really are not people of the same level.
After a dance, a pair of lovers on the field, the dance partners began to dance slowly, Yijian watched them perform with great interest as if watching a musical and dance, and suddenly An Chengxuan, who had stood beside her, stretched out a hand to her, Yijian opened her mouth to look at him in a little shock, instantly had mixed feelings, hesitated, and whispered into An Chengxuan's ear: "I'm not very good..." Chengxuan paused for a few seconds, took Yijian's hand and walked to the center of the dance floor.
Before Yijian had time to think about it, he was already standing in the middle of the dance floor, looking around in confusion, and was suddenly frightened by An Chengxuan's hand on his waist, and he was at a loss, now it is really difficult to ride a tiger, so he simply didn't want to do anything, closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and unnaturally reached out and held An Chengxuan's hand that stopped in mid-air.
An Chengxuan took Yijian to dance the simplest double waltz, and Yijian tried to recall the ballroom dance steps she had learned at Yuqing High School while dancing, in that well-known aristocratic school, ballroom dancing was also one of the required courses, but after so many years, she had almost forgotten it.
"Shhh
"Uh... I'm sorry. Yi Jian looked at Cheng Xuan apologetically.
"It's okay." An Chengxuan smiled, "Don't be nervous, just look at me and follow my footsteps." ”
Having said that, but Yijian's feet just didn't listen to the call of the brain, he didn't stand firm in a circle, and fell into An Chengxuan's strong chest, An Chengxuan's strong arms supported Yijian's back, looking down at Yijian, they were very close, and they could feel each other's breathing when they were close, Chengxuan smelled Yijian's faint lavender fragrance, and saw her rapid pulse beating on her slender neck, and suddenly her heart was numb, and she was a little breathless in an instant.
Finally ended the dance, although it was only a few minutes, but in Yi Jian's heart, it seemed to be a few years, Yi Jian took a deep breath, looked at Cheng Xuan who was standing opposite him and said, "Your feet are okay, right?" Cheng Xuan lowered his eyes and looked at his feet, "You can still walk." ”
Yijian listened to Chengxuan's dissatisfied, and said angrily, "I said I wouldn't." An Chengxuan smiled and said nothing.
"Mr. An~"
"Ye Luo~" An Chengxuan watched Ye Luo walk slowly, "Are you there too?" ”
"Yes, I also received an invitation from Miss Ina." Ye Luo replied clearly, Ye Luo became friends after meeting Tan Yina in a hurry at the last party, so this time he also received an invitation from Tan Yina, "This is..." Ye Luo turned to Yijian and asked.
"He's Jane.." There are no superfluous prefixes, just two simple words.
"Hello, Miss Yijian."
"Hello." Yijian thought that this person should be from An's Group Company, so he didn't dare to make more contact, so he made an excuse to leave his seat and prepare to get some snacks to eat.
Standing in front of the delicate pastries, Yijian leisurely put her favorite food on her plate, and then Ina smiled and walked over to Yijian.
"Jane, the events of that day. . . I'm sorry, it's all my fault that caused you harm. Ina looked apologetically at Yijian and said.
Yijian had already forgotten the unpleasantness of some time ago, but when Ina said this, her happy heart instantly calmed down, "Actually, the events of that day are none of your business, you must not take it to heart." Yijian said implicitly, in fact, during this period of time, people kept apologizing to her, and Yijian didn't realize that she was like someone who had done something wrong, and whenever someone apologized, she felt more sad in her heart.
"No, I've been looking for a chance to treat you to dinner these days, but it's such a coincidence that you're here today, I'm really happy, which means that you've forgiven me, right?" Ina looked at Yijian with her eyes shining as she spoke. Yijian was a little embarrassed to be stared at, "Well, I never blamed you. ”
Ina continued what she wanted to say, "Actually, at the beginning, I saw that Chengxuan was so indifferent to you, and I thought that the relationship between the two of you was not good, but today I realized that I was wrong. ”
You're not mistaken, their relationship was not good, but it was only after this period of getting along and running in that it eased up slightly, Yijian thought to herself, but she didn't know how to answer, so she had to "hehe.." laughed.
It happened that the waiter of the hotel walked by with red wine, and Ina took the wine and handed it a glass to Yijian, "Yijian, do you know, you look really beautiful today, it's not the same as you usually are, I almost didn't recognize it just now, come, I'll toast you." Yijian took the wine, but she had to take a sip, "You have won the prize, you are the most beautiful." After saying that, the two looked at each other and smiled.
Jian Jian was overwhelmed by the strength of wine, and after drinking a few small glasses, he couldn't stand it a little, so he walked to the riverside outside the hotel to sober up. Yijian leaned on the railing, watching the night view of the riverside and the passing boats.
Although An Chengxuan was busy greeting Yina and Tan's father and Tan's mother, and some other business people came to chat with him from time to time, his eyes were always locked on Yijian. Seeing Yijian standing outside, thinly dressed and her hair fluttering in the wind, he walked behind Yijian, took off his coat, and draped it over Yijian.
Yijian was frightened by Cheng Xuan's movements, and subconsciously looked back at Cheng Xuan.
"It's cold outside, be careful not to catch a cold." Cheng Xuan said in a gentle voice.
After the dance party, Yi Jian sat in Cheng Xuan's car, this kind of rich and noble people's occasion, just a few hours, she was tired, Yi Jian admired An Cheng Xuan who had nothing to do around him, he was not tired at all, he was still so calm driving, maybe this kind of activity should be commonplace for him. Yijian turned out the window, looked at the street scene that kept passing by, and quickly fell into a deep sleep.
The car stopped in front of the Anjia villa, and Cheng Xuan couldn't bear to disturb Yijian, who was sleeping sweetly, so he sat in the car and waited. After a long time, he gently wiped Yijian's face with his hand, Yijian slowly opened his eyes, and saw Chengxuan, who was completely close to him, couldn't help but panic, his body retreated violently, and his head accidentally hit the car window, Chengxuan smiled gloatingly, untied Yijian's safety and said, "I just want to help you unbuckle your seat belt." After that, he opened the door and got out of the car.
On Saturday morning, Xi Yu called early in the morning to wake up Yi Jian, who was still asleep, and Xi Yu's crying voice was on the other end of the phone, "Yi Jian, woo~".
Yijian, who was not yet awake, opened half of his eyes and said, "Xiyu? Then he propped up half of his body, "What's wrong with you?" ”
Xi Yu cried and said almost choked: "Yuan Zihao, Yuan Zihao, she has other women..."
"What..?" Yijian suddenly straightened her back, and instantly fell asleep. "Xiyu, don't cry yet, you told me what happened...?"
"Woo~um~Woo~" Xiyu couldn't speak, just kept crying on the other end of the phone, Yijian gave up and told Xiyu directly that she would go to her house to find her, and then hung up the phone, changed out of pajamas, and walked to Xiyu's house.
"Cheng Xiyu, open the door.." Yijian stood at the door and knocked on Xiyu's door, Xiyu slowly walked out of it and opened the door, Yijian looked at Xiyu who lost his luster in front of him, cried and swollen his face, sloppy and draped in a silk scarf, and dragged slippers, and was startled.
When Xi Yu saw Yi Jian, she hugged Yi Jian excitedly, she was already quiet and cried again, and Yi Jian quickly led Xi Yu in, so as not to affect the "appearance of the city".
Yijian sat on the floor and handed a tissue to Xi Yu, "What's the matter, tell me about it.." Xi Yu sat on the bed and looked at Yi Jian with tears in her eyes and said: "The night before yesterday, I was shopping with my friends, and on the way, I saw Yuan Zihao, he was walking across the road with another woman, I was... I wanted to say hello, but... But when I saw her and the woman start rubbing and hugging, I was stupid..."
"Maybe.." Yijian was about to interrupt, trying to comfort Xiyu and tell her that there might be other possibilities, but Xiyu immediately turned her possibility into impossible.
"No maybe, I couldn't help but call him yesterday to question him, but he... He even admitted it, and he looked like he didn't care, and he took it for granted, I really hated him... Woooooooo
"Xi Yu~" Yi Jian didn't see Xi Yu's lovelorn appearance, especially about Yuan Zihao, but this time it was different, this time what he saw from Xi Yu's eyes was not loss, but anger, she didn't know how to deal with it, paused for a moment and said: "If that's the case, you break up with him, such a man is not worthy of you at all..."
"Yes, it can be simple. We.. We—" Nozomi was a little embarrassed, "we've already had a relationship.."
Yijian was stunned, looking at Xiyu in disbelief, for this kind of thing, Yijian didn't think about it, let alone inexperienced, she was instantly confused, and didn't know how to comfort Xiyu and make her forget about that man.
Xiyu continued to sob, "How stupid am I, when I see him, I pounce up like a fly seeing... I'm so stupid. Yijian reached out to cover Xiyu's hand and looked at her with gentle eyes, "Xiyu, it's okay, it will pass," and then got up and hugged Xiyu, "You still have me, no matter when, I will always be with you." ”
Xiyu's originally wounded heart, hearing Yijian say this, couldn't suppress the emotion in his heart, hugged Yijian, and lay on Yijian's shoulder and wept softly.
Finally put Xi Yu to sleep, Yi Jian sat in front of Xi Yu's bed, looked at Xi Yu, felt a little pitiful, and thought that Xi Yu was so kind, God would always give her a good chance.
