Chapter 33: Ji Yunyao

Ji Yunyao wore a pair of blue ripped jeans, a white round-neck T-shirt inside, and a white blazer outside.

She had just come out of the museum, and she was accompanied by a budding painter. He is a realist oil painter and a native of City A.

"I am really grateful that I am able to exhibit this painting here thanks to your connection." The male painter is slightly chubby, not tall, and wears black-rimmed glasses.

"Your paintings fit the theme of this exhibition, and the museum also wanted to incorporate works from different countries and styles. And your work is really realistic and has its own characteristics. Ji Yunyao didn't want to have too much to do with the other party, so she replied very objectively.

She walked briskly to the parking lot. The moment she drove the door and got into the car, the other party followed, and wanted to say something. Ji Yunyao didn't wait for him to say goodbye, and then quickly drove away from the parking lot.

Ji Yunyao and Ji Yunshen finished talking on the phone, and they were in a very low mood. If she hadn't made an appointment with the other party to come to the exhibition, she might not have come.

Her mind is now full of the past with Qin Haoxuan. She thought of her first meeting in the radio room.

The senior who was in her class that afternoon couldn't come because of something, so she asked Qin Haoxuan to take the class.

He wore a light-colored casual jacket with a black turtleneck T-shirt, a pair of black pipe pants, and a pair of white sneakers. The face is angular, the sword eyebrows are bright, and the appearance is very handsome, which is completely in line with her aesthetics. He has a thin body with long legs and fair skin on his bare feet.

He was a little shy in the face of her. When he sat next to her, he could smell the fragrance of laundry detergent on his body, mixed with the unique smell of boys, which smelled very good. Her heart throbbed.

Later, Qin Haoxuan pursued her, and they were together. She had a lot of wonderful times with him.

But in fact, she has always had a rival in love. She is Qin Haoxuan's younger sister in the same department. Schoolgirls always show up at inappropriate times and even deliberately interrupt their dates. Several times, Ji Yunyao was upset.

She didn't know if Qin Haoxuan didn't realize it or what, Qin Haoxuan never felt that there was anything wrong. She really couldn't bear it, so he reminded Qin Haoxuan and said his thoughts. Qin Haoxuan said that he would keep his distance from her.

But it wasn't until she graduated that she discovered that they were still connected.

Once, when she went back to school to find Qin Haoxuan, she saw him and his younger sister talking and laughing together from a distance. She looked at that scene and felt very dazzling, and her heart hurt as if she had been fooled. She calmed down for a while before approaching them, Qin Haoxuan was very happy, without a trace of self-blame. The other party gave her a defiant look that only she could understand and left.

She was very unhappy on the date that day, pretending to smile, but Qin Haoxuan didn't notice it, and she seemed to be extremely happy.

Then one day, she had just had an unpleasant quarrel with Qin Haoxuan because of some trivial things, and she didn't want to pay attention to him.

When she was about to take a break, she received a photo from the schoolgirl. All are photos taken when she and Qin Haoxuan were together. Different times, different places, each one looks a little ambiguous.

She was so sad that she completely broke down. During that time, work was also not going well, and she finally decided to study abroad.

She wanted to start a new life, so she basically cut off contact with people in China.

After graduating, she signed a three-year contract with the museum. Now that five years have passed, and the contract of the museum is about to expire, she is a little entangled in what to do.

Two years before going abroad, Qin Haoxuan came to her several times, but she couldn't get out of her heart knot, and she couldn't forgive him. The last time, she asked her friends to help trick him. He didn't come back and didn't contact her again.

Five years have passed, and her heart is much calmer. She learned that Qin Haoxuan had been single for five years and had been waiting for her. Her heart faltered a little.

Ji Yunshen occasionally revealed some news about Qin Haoxuan, intentionally or unintentionally, but he didn't actually tell her anything. When she called today to ask her about returning to China, she quickly thought of Qin Haoxuan. She didn't know how to answer, and she really didn't make a decision. Once again, she chose to escape.

At that moment, her phone rang. She pressed the answer button. A mature and magnetic man's voice came: "Yun Yao, I really thank you for my cousin's matter. ”

Ji Yunyao stared at the front and said euphemistically: "Senior, this matter is completely won by my cousin with his own strength, and I am just pulling a line." ”

"I know it's what you say is light. When will you return home? I'll treat you to dinner. The voice on the other side seemed to invite her to return to China.

"Senior, I'm driving. Next time we talk. Ji Yunyao hung up the phone.

She was inexplicably flustered when she heard the words return.

Ji Yunyao returned to the art museum, and she had to tidy up her work and do a good job in the past two months. She has already told the museum management that she will not renew the contract. But she didn't decide whether to be a sojourn painter or return to China.

At this time, her direct leader, John, came over to explain a few words and asked her to have dinner with her. She thought about it and agreed.

John is a standard Western muscular man, with a beard on his face, showing his mature charm, and his blue eyes are always affectionate and deep. He likes Ji Yunyao very much, and once expressed it, but she refused. He wanted to give himself a chance and fight for it one last time.

They came to a famous western restaurant nearby. John was clearly attentive, and he took the entire floor. The restaurant is carefully furnished, and the colorful crystal chandeliers set off a very sense of atmosphere.

Ji Yunyao felt a little uneasy in her heart, but she had already felt something and made a decision. She eats the steak very elegantly, trying to be as calm as possible.

John raised the red wine in his hand and clinked glasses with her gentlemanly.

As she put down her glass, the violin-playing waiter walked over with another waiter holding a bouquet of flowers. The sound of the piano is very melodious, as if telling a beautiful love story.

John walked up to her, half-crouched down, raised his head, handed her the flowers, and said, "Is it okay to associate with me?" ”

"John, I don't want to reject you, but I can't go against my heart. Sorry, we're not suitable. Ji Yunyao looked at John with affection in her eyes, and couldn't bear to look at her, but she couldn't accept it.

John stood up, smiled relievedly, and said it was okay. "Flowers are still given to you. I will see you off. John said very sincerely in broken Chinese.

"Okay, thank you." Ji Yunyao took the flowers from John's hand.

After eating, John sent Ji Yunyao back to his residence very gentlemanly.

Ji Yunyao was very moved, and she said very seriously: "John, you are the leader I admire the most. I believe that you will definitely meet the right person for you and love you. ”

John shrugged his eyebrows playfully, and then said helplessly: "Yao, you are very kind. Thank you. ”

Ji Yunyao smiled at him, turned around and went upstairs.

John stared at her back, a look of regret and reluctance.

The data of the past few days of the exhibition was released to the work group, and the data of "Warm Winter" was considerable, which made Su Xiao very pleased and gave her the motivation to continue creating.

Qi Jiawen praised them in the group, saying that he would apply for bonuses based on sales data and distribute them together with quarterly bonuses. Everyone cheered in the group.

Su Xiao slightly modified the red dress she designed last night, and drew two styles: short-sleeved and long-sleeved. To do all this, she sent the design draft to Qi Jiawen's internal mailbox.

Su Xiao stretched his arm and closed the computer. At the end of the day's work, she felt like time was flying a little.

When she got up and turned her head, she found Ji Yunshen waiting behind her. She looked around and saw that there was no one around.

She shrank into Ji Yunshen's arms with some apologies, looked up at Ji Yunshen a little coquettishly and said, "I forgot the time, I want to finish the design draft." ”

Ji Yunshen raised his eyebrows, and pretended to be displeased: "Then how do you compensate me?" ”

"I'll go home and make you something to eat?" Su Xiao said in a somewhat shy and flattering tone.

"Okay, that's okay. Let's go back. Ji Yunshen straightened her and said with a satisfied smile.

Su Xiao took Ji Yunshen's arm and walked out of the office building with him.

As soon as Ji Yunshen opened the door of the apartment, Su Xiao smelled the aroma of food. She looked at Ji Yunshen suspiciously, Ji Yunshen was silent, and walked in lightly.

Su Xiao was a little stunned, the table was full of food. There are still two people working in the kitchen.

"You're back?" Some familiar voices rang out.

Only then did Su Xiao find Bai Weiwei sitting on the sofa.

"Auntie, you're here." Su Xiao was a little nervous, but he didn't forget to greet politely.

"Prepare and start eating." Bai Weiwei said and walked to the dining table to help set up.

Aunt Li came out of the kitchen with a bowl of soup. Lotus also walked out, took the dishes and chopsticks in Bai Weiwei's hand and continued to place them.

Aunt Li had to go back to prepare food for Ji Yuanshan, so she hurried back. Lotus stayed with Bai Weiwei.

"I know you love to eat Aunt Li's cooking, so I brought her over." Bai Weiwei said to Ji Yunshen.

"Thank you, Mom." Ji Yunshen looked very well-behaved in front of Bai Weiwei.

"Su Xiao, I'm sorry, I came over to bother without your consent." Bai Weiwei looked at Su Xiao happily and said.

"Auntie, no. I..."Su Xiao didn't know what to say, and was a little incoherent.

"That's good, let's eat it. The meals cooked by Aunt Li were delicious. Bai Weiwei helped Su Xiao sandwich a piece of chicken thigh.

"Thank you, auntie." Su Xiao looked at Bai Weiwei and then looked at her, and lowered her head embarrassedly to eat.

After a meal, Bai Weiwei became acquainted with Su Xiao.

Su Xiao took her on a tour of the room and saw their cloakroom.

Bai Weiwei was very interested and said, "Needless to say, Yunshen's clothes. These clothes of yours are also a little too quiet, I'll help you pick out some beautiful ones to send over another day. ”

Su Xiao smiled but said nothing, she had already felt Bai Weiwei's enthusiasm.

"I'm relieved to see that you two get along so well. Take Su Xiao to the old house on the weekend. Bai Weiwei knew that she couldn't disturb them for too long, so she didn't stay long.

Ji Yunshen and Su Xiao sent her and Lianhua downstairs.

After going back, Ji Yunshen apologized to Su Xiao and said that he was also temporarily notified. Of course, Su Xiao wouldn't blame him. She also agreed to go back to the Ji family's old house with him on the weekend.
