Chapter 23: Breaking the Ice
When the first rays of the morning sun rose, the hospital lobby was crowded with people as usual, with worried and tired faces on their faces.
After Ji Yan paid the fee, when he walked out of the hospital hall, his eyes were full of red bloodshots, and the sunlight was shining in front of his face, making him feel in a trance for a moment.
He closed his eyes and relented for a moment before stepping down the stairs.
As soon as he got into the car and was about to start the car, his mobile phone rang.
Ji Yan's eyebrows jumped, and after seeing the contacts displayed on the screen, his hanging heart fell, and when he pressed the connect button, a gentle female voice soon came from the other side of the phone: "Ji Yan, do you have time later?" ”
"What's wrong?"
Ji Yan said, lowering his eyes and glancing at the watch time, eight fifteen.
"I'm going to Beijing at ten o'clock today, can you pick me up?"
The female voice on the other side of the phone was a little hesitant, and after asking this, she added: "If you're busy, then forget it." ”
Ji Yan pursed his lips, and after a while, he said slowly: "I'm not busy, I'll be at the airport at ten o'clock." ”
"Okay, I'll wait for you."
Hearing his affirmative answer, the female voice on the other side of the phone smiled softly and hung up the phone.
However, just as Ji Yan was about to extinguish his mobile phone, a message from Li Pre suddenly popped up on the WeChat page: [You sent Xu Chenyin back last night? Do you still mean that to Xu Chenyin now? 】
Looking at the message on the screen, Ji Yan twisted his eyebrows, stared at it for a while, and suddenly remembered something, and did not reply to the message, but directly switched the mobile phone page to the new friend column.
What catches your eye is Xu Chenyin's WeChat.
It says pending.
Ji Yan's eyes deepened, and after clicking on Xu Chenyin's personal information with his fingertips, he thought for a few seconds before clicking on Xu Chenyin's circle of friends.
The background of her circle of friends is still the white cat.
Further down.
It shows that non-friends can only see the news of the last three days.
Business trips.
A simple four-character copy, with four photos below, two are photos of cultural relics, and the remaining two should be photos of her and her colleagues.
In the photo, the sun shines on Xu Chenyin's face, and the smile on the corner of her mouth is very quiet.
Looking at it, a faint smile slowly appeared between Ji Yan's eyebrows, and his slender fingertips slid the screen and pressed the save button.
On the other side, Xu Chenyin was woken up by a phone ringing, she slept late last night, and when she answered the phone now, the whole person was in a state of splitting headache.
But the person on the other end of the phone was still chattering: "What time is it, I'm still sleeping, your brother will get off the plane soon, don't be late, get up now." ”
Xu Chen's voice slowed down before he whispered, "Got it." ”
After saying this, she wanted to hang up the phone, but Liu Rou on the other end of the phone immediately added when she anticipated her actions in advance: "I will answer your phone in the future, I am your mother, everything I do is for your good, don't make me look like an enemy." ”
“……”
Xu Chenyin was silent for a moment, did not respond, and hung up the phone.
After Liu Rou's phone call, Xu Chenyin no longer felt sleepy, glanced at the time on her mobile phone, at eight forty o'clock, she opened WeChat again, and Ji Yan still didn't agree.
She held her mobile phone tightly for a long time before she found Zhao Jinzhou's WeChat and sent a sentence: [Brother, I'm waiting for you at the airport gate. 】
After sending this sentence, she didn't care about the reply, got up and went to the bathroom to wash, and when she came out of the bathroom, it was already more than nine o'clock, and Zhao Jinzhou still didn't reply, it should be on the plane.
Walking out of the community, Xu Chenyin took a taxi, reported the location of the airport, leaned on the back of the back seat, thought about Zhao Jinzhou, and stopped talking.
Zhao Jinzhou is five years older than her, and the first time she saw Zhao Jinzhou was when she was seventeen years old, at that time, her mother and Uncle Zhao had just remarried, and she was restrained about everything in the Zhao family.
Mother also often told her, saying that she should not provoke Uncle Zhao's son, she had seen Zhao Jinzhou a few times, and knew that Zhao Jinzhou had a cold temperament, so she always kept her mother's words in her heart, and generally walked around where Zhao Jinzhou appeared.
Until one day, when she came home from school and went to her mother to sign the paper, she accidentally heard the quarrel between Uncle Zhao and Zhao Jinzhou in the study, as well as her mother's dissuasion.
Just as she was about to retreat in a panic, the door of the study was suddenly opened from the inside, and Zhao Jinzhou walked from inside with a cold face, and when he saw her, he was obviously a little surprised in his eyes.
She was stunned for a moment, and after reacting, she still tried to raise a smile and whispered to him: "Brother......"
Zhao Jinzhou looked at her, couldn't see what emotion was, and after a while, he said slowly: "It's ugly for you to laugh." ”
“……”
It was also this sentence that became the ice-breaking point for the two of them.
After that, she slowly discovered that Zhao Jinzhou was actually quite good, he was very thoughtful in everything, and although he was cold to her and had a poisonous mouth, his actual actions never fell behind.
Even this apartment in Beijing was bought by Zhao Jinzhou for her, when Zhao Jinzhou bought it, she didn't know, and when the real estate certificate came to her, she knew about it and wanted to refuse, but only in exchange for Zhao Jinzhou's serious inquiry: "Don't like this set?" Then buy another set. ”
“……”
In Chen Lin's words, it is the behavior of the boss.
Of course, she was dumbfounded, so she could only accept it, and did not forget to remind Zhao Jinzhou in her ear again and again: "Brother, it is enough for me to have a house, and I want everything else." ”
After a week like this, Zhao Jinzhou dispelled the idea of buying her a car and hiring a nanny.
This time Zhao Jinzhou returned to Beijing, what worried her the most was how to refuse Zhao Jinzhou's kindness to spend money on her.
"Girl, the airport has arrived."
The voice of the taxi master pulled Xu Chenyin's thoughts back to reality, after she paid the money, she got out of the car and looked at the time, ten o'clock, her pace couldn't help but speed up.
However, she didn't notice that the moment she got out of the car, Ji Yan's car also stopped after her.
When he saw Xu Chenyin's figure, Ji Yan was obviously stunned, and when he reacted, the whole person was already following Xu Chenyin, keeping a distance not far from her.
It was Xu Chenyin's sudden turn that he suddenly realized his actions, and subconsciously hid behind the pillars of the airport, and his whole body was in a tense state.
Xu Chenyin looked back at the crowded airport, her beautiful eyebrows frowned slightly, she didn't think about it anymore, and turned around and walked forward again.
"Uncle, are you playing hide and seek?"
A soft child's voice pulled Ji Yan's mind back, Ji Yan lowered his eyes and looked at the little tuanzi in front of him, and before he could say anything, a young woman ran not far away, picked up the little tuanzi, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, little kid." ”
"It's fine." Ji Yan shook his head absentmindedly, looked at the distant figure not far away again, frowned, and then strode out from behind the pillar.
He came to the airport to pick people up, and he didn't follow them, so why should he feel like a thief.
Thinking so, Ji Yan deliberately straightened his back again.
