Chapter Forty-Eight: Knowing Yourself and Your Opponent Is Interesting
"I thought I could take that step." Ji Xiaocheng muttered in a strange whisper, and he didn't care if Jiang Qianrao heard it, anyway, he could be regarded as a reply to Jiang Qianrao's words.
Jiang Qianrao propped her chin, grabbed the pole with her left hand, and asked, "Mr. Ji is like this, he will lose a lot of fun." You've already sat on the merry-go-round, why don't you try to change your mood again? β
Ji Xiaocheng turned his head to look at Jiang Qianrao, and there was a rare childlike doubt in his eyes.
Jiang Qianrao pursed her mouth, like a big sister teaching kindergarten children, and said, "For example, think about happy things." Now that you are already sitting on the merry-go-round, you should fly with your dreams. β
"Be bold and be like a child."
Ji Xiaocheng lowered his head and smiled, this time, the smile finally brought a bit of sincerity and naturalness: "Sure enough, you are the real free and easy person." β
Jiang Qianrao shook her head: "Okay, Mr. Ji, this topic is over." Since it's out to play, why do we make this issue so heavy? β
Jiang Qianrao raised her head and looked ahead, it was still the arrogant white swan that Ji Xiaocheng saw at the Saint Langlo Jewelry Design Competition.
Ji Xiaocheng realized something.
After getting off the merry-go-round, Ji Xiaocheng took the initiative to take Jiang Qianrao's hand, walked to the moving cart, and bought two colorful marshmallows.
When the marshmallow was stuffed into Jiang Qianrao's hand, Jiang Qianrao was still confused, and immediately reacted, hooked her lips and smiled: "It seems that Mr. Ji is following the customs." β
Jiang Qianrao took a bite of marshmallow and ate it slowly in front of Ji Xiaocheng, her eyes were like drawn marshmallows, pulling him in.
Ji Xiaocheng raised the marshmallow a little higher, looked at Jiang Qianrao and said, "I think you will like it." β
Ji Xiaocheng held the position of the marshmallow strangely, as if he was eating, but he was covering his eyes.
Ji Xiaocheng watched Jiang Qianrao stick out her tongue and lick the marshmallow. The nimble tongue stirs the pure white part, and it is delicately rolled into the mouth.
She smiled contentedly, apparently healed by the sweets.
Ji Xiaocheng rarely saw such a "harmless to humans and animals" Jiang Qianrao.
Jiang Qianrao's attention was on the marshmallows, she ate them decently, but the corners of her mouth and cheeks were still stained with some floating marshmallows. She lifted the back of her hand and wiped it on her face.
"Don't move, I've got tissues here."
Ji Xiaocheng almost immediately took out a pack of handkerchief paper from his pocket, took out one and handed it to Jiang Qianrao.
Jiang Qianrao's hand stopped in mid-air, and she glanced at the tissue in Ji Xiaocheng's hand with some surprise.
"Thank you."
Jiang Qianrao took the tissue.
She imprinted a mark on her face, and suddenly noticed that Ji Xiaocheng hadn't eaten a bite of the marshmallow, and she had already eaten more than half of it.
Jiang Qianrao thought for a while, and said directly: "Your marshmallow, are you going to buy it to decorate?" β
"It's not." Ji Xiaocheng had an embarrassing feeling of being caught, and immediately took a bite of marshmallow.
"Mr. Ji, don't forget the Italian dinner you said later!" Jiang Qianrao reminded, "I don't know if the Italian restaurant in the amusement park is authentic." β
"Just try it." Ji Xiaocheng didn't know why, he took the initiative to reach out and hold Jiang Qianrao's hand, Jiang Qianrao was thinking about something else, but she didn't notice this matter and didn't refuse.
Ji Xiaocheng took Jiang Qianrao's hand and walked forward.
Jiang Qianrao was thinking, the Italian restaurant in this amusement park must have opened recently, at least before her accident, there was no restaurant in the dining area of this amusement park.
As the largest playground in the city, Jiang Qianrao has come more than once. Anyway, in her thoughts, after this lap is almost finished, go to the timed fountain and give Ji Xiaocheng a "surprise".
This is her plan.
Jiang Qianrao reviewed it again, and she had been taken to the door of the restaurant by Ji Xiaocheng. Jiang Qianrao realized that her hand was being held by Ji Xiaocheng, and she retracted it after a while.
She rubbed her wrist a little embarrassedβeven though the place where Ji Xiaocheng was holding it just now was in the palm of her hand.
Ji Xiaocheng is not a wood, and he will definitely notice Jiang Qianrao's movements.
"Let's go, let's go in." This is Ji Xiaocheng's answer.
Jiang Qianrao nodded implicitly, deliberately separated from Ji Xiaocheng at some distance, and entered side by side.
The meal was uneventful, and there was a strange atmosphere between the two, like a twisted and crawling earthworm that had been suppressed in the mud after a heavy rain, and if it didn't find a chance to break through the soil, it would suffocate in the mud.
Jiang Qianrao subconsciously bit her lip, now this situation is not what she wants to see, she must find a way to change it.
Could it be that the action she just shook her hand was too much?
Doesn't it look like it? Could it be that Ji Xiaocheng is suspicious? Ji Xiaocheng is unhappy?
Jiang Qianrao thought with doubts, Ji Xiaocheng had already settled the account and walked back.
Ji Xiaocheng put his hands in his pockets and said, "Let's go." β
Jiang Qianrao nodded lightly.
Jiang Qianrao has always hoped that the relationship between the two of them is in her hands, and what she wants to become is controlled by her.
She is the one who takes the lead, and she makes the relationship what she wants to be and uses it to do what she wants.
The two walked out of the restaurant side by side, not far or close, not intimate.
Ji Xiaocheng took the initiative to say: "Miss Jiang doesn't seem to like my touch and approach, but she always forgets to refuse and realizes it later. β
"How so." Jiang Qianrao pulled away a smile, "I just reacted that something was wrong." After all, since I and Huo Jing were so shocking at Joanna's wedding, this gossip has not stopped. β
"Then since Miss Jiang cares so much, then now there is a solution to the gossip."
Jiang Qianrao turned her head and smiled contemptuously: "There are two ways to solve the gossip, one is to solemnly clarify that it is a lie, and the other is to make it a complete reality. β
"Which one is Mr. Ji talking about?"
Under the moonlight, Jiang Qianrao's eyes narrowed slightly, as if she was smiling, and what was deliberately hidden in her eye sockets was a gem that shimmered with light.
"Which one does Miss Jiang think?"
Facing Jiang Qianrao like this, Ji Xiaocheng finally regained his familiar feeling, and asked with a smile.
Jiang Qianrao waved her hand: "To some extent, Mr. Ji and I are quite similar." We all want to know what the other person thinks, and then judge our next move. β
"Really? But I think it's interesting to know yourself and your opponent. β
"But this is not war." Jiang Qianrao raised her eyebrows and raised her tone, "Hey, Mr. Ji, this matter is not so serious." It's a little sad to think of it as a war! β
