Chapter 54
Chapter 53 – Not Homeless 【Third Watch】
After Ji Jinyan said these words, Li Wanqiu was stunned for a long time.
She didn’t expect that Ji Jinyan’s parents had passed away long ago. Ji Jinyan always only left her the best side, so Li Wanqiu had no idea that she had such a past.
“I’m sorry.” Li Wanqiu said quickly, the whole person finally came back to his senses, not only was he a little flustered in his heart, but his voice was full of apology, “I don’t know…”
“It’s okay.” Before he could finish speaking, he was quickly interrupted by Ji Jinyan, “It happened a long time ago.”
“I should be more sorry,” she said afterward, “I’m sorry I didn’t tell you these things sooner.”
It was the same tone as usual.
Li Wanqiu raised her eyes to look at her, and always felt that Ji Jinyan was omnipotent and indestructible, as everyone said, and could handle everything perfectly and properly, he was the most powerful person.
But after gradually getting in touch with her, Li Wanqiu gradually began to realize that Ji Jinyan is actually just an ordinary person like everyone else.
Rather than watching her say she’s fine, Li Wanqiu wants her to rely on him more.
“Do you want a hug?” Thinking this way, Li Wanqiu opened her mouth again, and subconsciously opened her arms, but unlike Ji Jinyan, she had to get her permission no matter what she did.
So without waiting for her to speak, Li Wanqiu took a few steps forward and hugged her slowly.
There was a fresh fragrance in her embrace, which was so warm that people couldn’t help lingering on it. Ji Jinyan didn’t speak, but raised the corners of his lips, and hugged her tightly behind his back.
“I’ve thought about it for a long time, why didn’t I meet you sooner.” I don’t know how long it took before Li Wanqiu said again, “Now I hope even more.”
“If it’s really possible, maybe I can be by your side and accompany you more.”
The sincerity of what she said made people feel warm in their hearts after listening to it. Ji Jinyan paused for a while, finally parted his lips again, shook his head and said, “It’s not too late.”
“It’s just right, it’s never too late,” she said.
Li Wanqiu couldn’t understand what she meant, she just thought she was comforting herself, but after a moment of silence, she continued following Ji Jinyan’s words: “Yes, it’s not too late.”
“Anyway, we are still young.” She said, obviously coaxing Ji Jinyan, but for some reason, she suddenly wanted to cry, “There will be many, many years in the future.”
“I hope I can walk with you all the time.”
“…”
On the way back, both of them were obviously silent.
Ji Jinyan didn’t mention much about the past, and Li Wanqiu didn’t want to ask any more. The car drove very fast and arrived at the hotel in a short while. After a while, a knock on the door was heard suddenly.
Open the door and look, Su Xin is standing in front of her.
“What’s the matter?” Li Wanqiu quickly asked.
“Aqiu, where have you been?” Su Xin looked at her, with an intimacy and slight complaint in her tone, “I’ve been looking for you for a long time!”
“Want to come to my room to play cards?” She asked, very happy, “There are a lot of people here, the ones with sticky notes on their faces, you haven’t seen it, Xiao Wu’s face is full of notes, it’s so ridiculous Yes, it’s a miserable loss.”
Between the words, there was a smile on his face.
Normally, Li Wanqiu would definitely agree, but right now she really doesn’t have much energy.
“No.” After a while, she still chose to refuse, “You guys play, I’m a little tired today.”
“Ah?” As soon as the words fell, Su Xin was immediately lost, and raised her hand to touch her forehead, “What’s wrong, are you sick?”
Li Wanqiu shook her head: “No, I’m just a little tired.”
“Okay then.” Seeing that she was indeed in a bad state, Su Xin didn’t force her anymore, “Then you have a good rest, I’ll come back to you tomorrow.”
“It was the same way when I went to find Mr. Ji just now.” She said, quickly turned around, and drifted away as if talking to herself, “Oh, what a pity…”
The sound was not loud, but the breeze that infiltrated through the window lightly passed into Li Wanqiu’s ears.
After a while, Li Wanqiu sighed along with her.
Before I knew it, it was ten o’clock in the evening.
Li Wanqiu washed up and went to bed. She was obviously tired, but she couldn’t sleep for some reason. The matter of Ji Jinyan kept circling in her mind, making her unable to feel sleepy at all.
Originally, I wanted to listen to music to change my mood, but before I plugged in my headphones, there was another knock on the door.
Opening the door and looking, I caught a glimpse of Su Xin again.
Seeing this, Li Wanqiu couldn’t help laughing: “Did you invite me to play cards again? You forgot, you came here once just now.”
“It’s not playing cards!” As soon as the words fell, Su Xin said quickly, and pulled her wrist very excitedly, “It’s a meteor shower, a meteor shower!”
“It’s the first time I’ve seen you!” She said, and without waiting for Li Wanqiu’s consent, she was forced to pull her out. It was supposed to be a rest time, but there was a sudden commotion in the corridor, and everyone was about to get up to watch the meteor shower .
“Walking around, we found a good spot.” Su Xin said as he led Li Wanqiu forward, and soon found a large team, and looked up to see that Ji Jinyan was also standing in the crowd.
It was obviously pulled out by force.
Li Wanqiu met her eyes, and then slowly raised the corners of their lips.
“Is it cold?” Soon, Ji Jinyan came to stand beside her, and opened his lips to ask softly.
“It’s not cold.” Li Wanqiu said, “Su Xin is kind enough to give me a coat before taking me away.”
As soon as the words fell, Ji Jinyan curled his lips into a smile.
“Have you seen a meteor shower before?” Then she asked again.
“No.” Li Wanqiu said, “It’s the first time.”
Ji Jinyan nodded: “Me too.”
While the two were talking, the shooting stars became more and more dense, and the surroundings were filled with noise and noise. Li Wanqiu looked sideways, and saw that Su Xin, who was at the side, had already put his hands together and made a posture.
To make a wish.
Although making a wish on a shooting star was just a psychological sustenance, Li Wanqiu was inevitably surprised and shocked when he saw such a magnificent beauty in front of him.
I even vaguely feel that no matter what wish I make, it may really come true someday in the future.
Thinking this way, Li Wanqiu finally closed her eyes and sincerely made a wish on the shooting star.
Ji Jinyan looked over quickly: “What are you thinking?”
“Thinking about you.” Li Wanqiu said.
“That’s a coincidence.” Ji Jinyan nodded, “I was thinking of you just now.”
Li Wanqiu was a little curious: “What is it?”
Ji Jinyan shook his head and chuckled, “I won’t tell you.”
Li Wanqiu: “…”
“If you don’t say it, don’t say it.” After a while, she also smiled, and the crowd around her was noisy and noisy, and the two stood in the noise, looking at the starry sky quietly together.
I don’t know how long it took before Ji Jinyan spoke again, and said slowly, “Li Wanqiu, will you stay with me all the time?”
The voice was very soft, as if he was only talking to her, or talking to himself.
After a while, Li Wanqiu turned his head to look into her eyes again: “Yes.”
After finishing speaking, Ji Jinyan slightly raised his lips: “That’s great.”
“Then my wish has been granted,” she said afterwards.
Because it had just rained, the night wind was a bit cold, but no matter how cold it was, it couldn’t match the warmth gradually gathering in my heart.
Li Wanqiu took a deep breath, subconsciously stood closer to her, and then whispered: “Then you will?”
Ji Jinyan nodded: “Of course.”
Li Wanqiu withdrew her gaze again, her eyes were moist unconsciously: “Then my wish has come true.”
“Actually, I was very lonely in the early years.” Ji Jinyan smiled, and opened her lips to take up her words, “My parents passed away one after another, and for some reason, I suddenly became a helpless person.”
“So I bought the house I used to live in and tried to restore the previous furnishings as much as possible. Although my favorite people are missing there, it is still my home anyway.”
“So… I’m still not homeless right?”
She said these words calmly, as if she was telling someone else’s story, and it sounded like she had completely let go, but Li Wanqiu knew that she was just gradually paralyzing herself with the passage of time.
But no matter how sad the story is, everything will always turn around.
“Of course not.” Thinking of this, Li Wanqiu quickly shook his head, “Isn’t there an old saying in the past that a place with a lover is a home.”
“You still have me.” She said, looking up into Ji Jinyan’s eyes, “Even if we were lonely before this, but together we are not, we love each other and have each other, no matter where we are, Anywhere we are is home.”
“So no matter when, you always have a home to go to, a place to go.”
“Ji Jinyan, are you right?”
Her voice was a little soft, but she spoke righteously, and it was hidden in the boundless night and breeze. Although the surroundings were really noisy, Ji Jinyan still heard it.
One word at a time, I heard it very clearly.
After a long while, she couldn’t help but nodded in agreement, and raised her eyes to look at the shooting star in the sky, and there seemed to be sparkling drops in her eyes following the shooting star.
Afterwards, she laughed and answered Li Wanqiu’s question softly: “Well, that’s right.”
