Chapter 23
Chapter 22 – Sweet
After visiting customers, the three had a simple meal and went to buy souvenirs together.
The online celebrity store that Song Yu mentioned was really good. It sold mostly sweets and snacks, with cute shapes and exquisite packaging. In addition, there were many beautiful dolls and accessories.
Li Wanqiu picked and bought some, and when he came out again, the sky was overcast.
It seems that another heavy rain is about to fall.
“Today’s weather forecast is inaccurate.” Lu Ye looked up at the sky, with some complaints mixed in his tone, “Fortunately, there is an umbrella in the car.”
“Mr. Ji, wait for me here.” He said, and took out the car keys from his pocket, “I’ll drive the car directly.”
After finishing speaking, he walked away quickly, but within three or four minutes, it really started to rain in the sky.
Li Wanqiu and Ji Jinyan didn’t move, they stood together under the eaves to shelter from the rain, admiring the surrounding scenery and the passers-by around them, even though it was raining now, there were still many people who came to check in.
Lu Ye didn’t come back for a while, wondering if he was stuck on the road.
“Is it cold?” After a while, Ji Jinyan asked.
“It’s okay.” Li Wanqiu shook her head, “My coat is not thin.”
“That’s good.” After finishing speaking, Ji Jinyan smiled.
“Yeah.” Li Wanqiu responded, stepped back a few steps and stood inside, fearing that the things he bought would get wet in the rain, tidied up a few times, suddenly remembered the lollipops he bought for Ji Jinyan last night, and quickly took them out of his pockets Take it out.
“Candy?” she asked afterward.
Ji Jinyan responded: “Okay.”
“Is the strawberry flavor okay?” Li Wanqiu turned to ask her about the taste, seeing her nodding, she lowered her eyes and seriously opened the package, holding it in front of her.
Originally, he wanted to ask Ji Jinyan to hold it, but he didn’t expect her to lower her head and bite the lollipop directly from her hand.
She loosened her hair today, and the strands of hair poured down with her movements and ran across the back of Li Wanqiu’s hands, soft and itchy.
Li Wanqiu paused, her right hand trembled subconsciously, and when she looked up, she could just see Ji Jinyan’s drooping eyelids and long eyelashes from this angle, which was beautiful, seductive and sexy.
“You…” Li Wanqiu froze for a moment, not knowing how to speak.
“Sorry.” Ji Jinyan blinked at her, “I don’t have anything to hold.”
There is a sporadic smile in the tone, and it also matches the taste of strawberries, which is sweet and smells very good.
For some reason, Li Wanqiu suddenly felt itchy on her fingertips.
“It’s okay.” She shook her head, paused for a few seconds and was about to say something, but before she could speak, Lu Ye suddenly appeared in sight, time was running out, Li Wanqiu said nothing, and got into the car with Ji Jinyan.
When I finished tidying up and sat down, I forgot what I wanted to say.
It just so happened that Lu Ye turned on the stereo and played a soft music. The sound of the music and the sound of the rain mixed together, which unexpectedly had a calming effect.
In the next second, he turned his head and looked over: “Mr. Ji, are you going back to Bixia tonight?”
Ji Jinyan nodded in response: “I have to go back.”
“Then close your eyes and rest for a while, I’ll take Xiaoli back first.” Lu Ye smiled, turned around and started the car, and turned a corner at the intersection ahead.
Li Wanqiu was taken aback when she heard the words, and quickly shook her head: “It’s okay, don’t worry about me.”
It was raining so hard, she really didn’t want to bother others, so she said, “Go straight back to the winery, I’ll take a taxi and go back by myself.”
“It’s not too late.” Before Lu Ye could respond, Ji Jinyan suddenly opened his lips, “No hurry.”
“How troublesome.” Li Wanqiu felt a little embarrassed.
“No trouble.” Lu Ye looked in the rearview mirror with a bright smile, “It should.”
Just like what Li Wanqiu said before, everyone in Bixia is great, Li Wanqiu was a little moved when he heard the words, and it would be a bit bad to refuse, so he nodded in agreement.
“Thank you.” She said, and handed Lu Ye a lollipop while taking advantage of the traffic lights.
“Li Wanqiu.” Ji Jinyan glanced over, his voice was very soft, “Aren’t you going to eat?”
“Eat.” Li Wanqiu answered her, and randomly pulled out a lollipop from his pocket, looking down, it also tasted like strawberry.
A few seconds later, as if she had thought of something, she slowly stuffed the lollipop back again.
“What’s wrong?” Ji Jinyan seemed to see through something, and there was a hint of a smile in Ji Jinyan’s voice.
“It’s nothing.” Li Wanqiu shook her head and said after a pause, “I don’t really want to eat strawberry flavor today.”
“I… change one.”
When the car drove into the urban area, it was getting dark.
Lu Ye got out of the car halfway, it seemed that something happened at home, and he couldn’t go back to Bixia with Ji Jinyan.
“It’s okay, I’ve worked hard these two days.” Ji Jinyan shook his head, leaned over to sit in the driver’s seat, “I don’t have much to do tomorrow, let’s rest at home.”
“Thank you.” Lu Ye hurriedly nodded his thanks when he heard the words, and walked a few steps into the community.
Li Wanqiu waved his hand to say goodbye to him, and when he turned his head again, he suddenly found that Ji Jinyan was looking at her.
“I remember there’s a nice restaurant nearby.” Then she said, “Would you like to have a meal together?”
It’s not early at this moment, Li Wanqiu is indeed a little hungry.
But she remembered the matter at work, so she didn’t respond immediately, but asked back: “Are you in no hurry?”
“It’s okay.” Ji Jinyan said, “It’s not too late.”
It’s the same as what I said in the car, and it’s this sentence again.
“Okay then.” Li Wanqiu nodded, did not refuse again, got out of the car with an umbrella, and walked in the rain with Ji Jinyan.
When he was about to enter the restaurant, Yan Weiwei called suddenly, Li Wanqiu expressed his affection to Ji Jinyan with his eyes, and answered the phone with lowered eyes.
This restaurant is famous for its distinctive grilled fish. Apart from its delicious taste, the fish is also cooked fresh. After ordering, the waiter politely asked the two of them who had time to pick fish with her.
“I’ll go.” Ji Jinyan smiled, then got up, then opened his lips as if thinking of something, and asked, “Is there any side dish you want to eat? I’ll get it for you.”
“I’ll get it myself in a while, thank you.” After speaking, Li Wanqiu responded to her.
The sound was not loud, but it still passed through the earpiece into Yan Weiwei’s ears.
Today coincided with the heavy rain, Yan Weiwei’s travel plans were ruined, she was originally complaining, but when she realized that there was someone beside Li Wanqiu, her irritability dropped sharply, and the thoughts of gossip emerged.
Ask her, “Did you eat out? Who were you with?”
“And Ji Jinyan.” Li Wanqiu said.
“You two went out to eat together again.” Yan Weiwei laughed immediately when she heard that, “What’s going on, you still say there’s nothing wrong.”
There was a deep smile in the voice, a little loud.
“Don’t talk nonsense.” Li Wanqiu responded subconsciously and looked back at Ji Jinyan’s direction. Seeing that the person hadn’t come back, she couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief, “It’s over because of a business trip. I’m a little hungry, so I’ll just eat something on the way.”
“Is that so?” Yan Weiwei asked.
“Yes.” Li Wanqiu nodded.
“Okay.” Yan Weiwei couldn’t help feeling a little disappointed when she heard the words, but she didn’t say anything more, and quickly changed the subject, asking her what her plans were for the two-day vacation.
Li Wanqiu thought about it seriously, and was about to reply, when he glanced at Ji Jinyan, who just came back with a plate of fruit in his hand.
Li Wanqiu looked around subconsciously, and saw that there were oranges and watermelons inside, as well as a few plump tomatoes. The tomatoes were bright in color, plump in shape, and looked very sweet, which made her take a few more glances unconsciously.
“Want to eat?” As if sensing her intention, Ji Jinyan directly picked up one and handed it over.
Li Wanqiu was originally talking to Yan Weiwei, but she couldn’t think about it for a while, when she saw Ji Jinyan stretching out her hand, she lowered her head and bit the tomato away from her hand.
“Thank you.” She said vaguely, her voice was soft and cute.
Yan Weiwei on the phone noticed something strange, and said with some doubts: “Li Wanqiu, thank you, are you eating?”
As soon as the words fell, Li Wanqiu realized it later, remembering her actions just now, her whole body froze.
It just so happened that the little tomato in her mouth was bitten open by her at this moment. It tasted as sweet as she imagined, and it was also juicy.
“…”
Only her cheeks gradually turned red unconsciously.
