Chapter 41
Chapter 40 – Provoke
The gray clouds covered the sky, and the bleak wind rolled up the dead leaves on the ground. The dead leaves swirled at low altitude and floated to the foot of the bench.
Jian Qing took a step closer, her boots stepped on the dead leaves, making a slight sound.
She was dressed in black, and her expression was indifferent. In this weather, she gave people a sense of oppression for no reason.
Lu Yinxi stopped crying, sat on the bench, stared at her blankly, her eyes were so red.
The two sat and stood, looking at each other silently.
No one took the initiative to speak, Jian Qing stuffed the sushi she was carrying into Lu Yinxi’s arms, took out the wet tissue in the bag, tore it open, took out one, and wiped the tears on her face.
Seeing such a distressed side, Lu Yinxi held sushi in his arms, not knowing how to face Jian Qing.
Wiping her face with a wet and cold touch, she closed her eyes, her body still sobbing habitually.
“Don’t you want to find a brother-in-law for yourself?”
There was no communication for two days, and the first sentence I spoke was ridicule.
“I’m not!” Being taunted coldly, Lu Yinxi’s tears burst out of his eyes again, “I’ve always wanted to talk to you, but you refused to talk to me…” The ending sound was still crying with grievances.
She threw the sushi aside, reached out and hugged Jian Qing’s waist, tears all over her clothes.
Jian Qing froze for a moment, lowered her eyes to look at her with disgust, instead of pushing her away, she patted her on the head lightly.
In the past two days, my heart has been hurt and my anger has been vented. Now seeing her red eyes weeping, she swallowed all the sneering words and couldn’t bear to say them any more.
Lu Yinxi hugged tightly and did not let go.
I don’t care whether to be ashamed or not, the grievance of being ignored and the sadness of not being loved are fermented together, I just want to hug someone and cry happily.
With her waist tightly bound, Jian Qing stood where she was, without speaking, sighed softly, raised her hand to look at her watch, she hugged her, and patted her shoulders to calm her emotions.
After a while, the tears gradually stopped, Lu Yinxi sniffed, let go of Jian Qing, grabbed the pack of tissues in her hand, ran a little farther by herself, wiped her tears, blew her nose, and cleaned herself up , and took out his phone and turned on the camera to take a picture to see if his hair was messed up.
In the square on weekdays, the flow of people is less than usual, and the benches are hidden behind the grass, which is very quiet.
Jian Qing sat on the bench, put on a disposable glove on his right hand, opened the sushi box, and started to eat slowly. From a distance, he saw Lu Yinxi with red eyes, walking slowly like a cat licking its hair clean back to her.
Jian Qing picked up another transparent glove and handed it to Lu Yinxi, with the calm expression on his face: “Eat well.”
Don’t make fun of your health.
The sushi is for two people. Rice is wrapped in seaweed, mixed with cucumber, meat floss and chicken tenderloin, cut into small pieces half a centimeter thick, or in the shape of a heart.
Lu Yinxi looked at the pieces of hearts in the box, thinking that this ice cube should not be so romantic, so he bought a heart-shaped one specially, probably a box he picked at random.
Even so, the mood gradually improved.
Lu Yinxi is used to drinking some soup when eating. This time, he was not used to eating sushi dryly. He chewed slowly and had difficulty swallowing.
Jian Qing glanced at her, disgusted with her coquettishness, got up and went to a beverage shop far away to buy two cups of jujube milk tea.
Holding the hot drink in the palm of his hand, Lu Yinxi bit the straw, took a sip, and said, “Why didn’t you have lunch? Didn’t your blind date treat you to Western food?”
She saw that she and that Mr. Shen had a happy conversation in the western restaurant, as if they were about to marry for a hundred years.
Jian Qing glanced at her: “Who messed up my lunch, you don’t know?”
Receiving her cold gaze, Lu Yinxi turned his head away, and couldn’t help but want to retort, “Then go back and find him”, but felt that the words were too sour and hurtful, so he bit his straw and stopped talking.
Seeing that the little girl beside her had turned into a self-closing and stubborn mushroom, most of the coldness in her eyes disappeared, she slowed down her tone, and explained: “I didn’t have a blind date, I just had a meal with him, who would be at noon?” Blind date?”
The other party has quite a relationship with her mentor Hu Jianjun, and it was also arranged by the leader of the superior department. It is not easy to refuse directly, and it is more appropriate to make it clear in person.
It just so happened that the other party was a bachelor and had no intention of going on a blind date, so they came to meet under the pressure of the department leaders and elders in the family.
Hearing Jian Qing’s explanation, Lu Yinxi took a sip of red date milk tea, and gradually realized: “It seems to be the same…”
Blind dates are usually chosen in the evening, or when there is half a day of free time, who would squeeze in time to go on a blind date in the afternoon when there is work in the middle of the day?
At that time, when Lu Yinxi heard the news that she was going on a blind date, he immediately thought of the picture of her holding hands and hugging someone else, and imagined her wearing a wedding dress to marry someone…
Just imagining it caused a heart-piercing pain, and the chaotic emotions washed away the embankment of reason, and there was no energy to think more.
Jian Qing cursed lightly: “Stupid.”
The eyes looking at her were like melting ice and snow, stained with soft colors.
Lu Yinxi’s eye sockets were still red and swollen.
She silently looked away from Jian Qing, ate sushi and drank milk tea quietly.
How to explain those tears? The tears shed because of seeing Jian Qing with others.
Can’t explain.
No matter how insensitive people are, they can guess the clues.
Those hidden little thoughts are exposed to the public, and are inspected and examined by the parties concerned.
And she awaits trial.
Do you want to ask for clarification? Still have to know how to pretend not to know?
She left the decision to the other party.
Jian Qing just looked at her quietly, didn’t ask or say anything, and kept silent habitually.
Lu Yinxi let her look at her, finished the last piece of sushi in a silent atmosphere, then clapped his hands, and threw the packaging bag and disposable gloves into the trash can.
The milk tea is not finished yet, you can hold it in your hand to warm your body.
When she cried, she specially chose a leeward place to cry, and she didn’t feel cold when she was emotional.
Emotions calmed down now, and the chill in all directions made her turn pale.
She glanced at Jian Qing’s overcoat, thinking that she might have taken it wrong, and she is not the one suffering from the cold now…
Sitting on the bench, Jian Qing raised her wrist and looked at her watch.
She thought that Jian Qing was in a hurry to leave, so she choked and said, “Are you still in a hurry to go on a date with someone else? It’s not easy to find time to find me.”
Jian Qing glanced at her, stood up, slapped her forehead hard, and said calmly: “Speak well, don’t carry a gun with a stick.”
Punching on the cotton, Lu Yinxi rubbed his forehead, didn’t choke her anymore, looked at her, and asked softly, “Then why are you looking at your watch all the time?”
Are you getting impatient with yourself?
Jian Qing took Lu Yinxi’s wrist, and answered her nonsense: “Check the time.”
There are still two hours before the afternoon class.
Lu Yinxi was led away obediently without asking where he was going.
She suspected that even if she was sold by Jian Qing at this moment, she would still help count the money.
Located in the city center, there are many shops on both sides of the road. Jian Qing took her into a random clothing store and said, “Go pick out a coat.”
Lu Yinxi thought for a while and asked, “Aren’t you going back to the hospital this afternoon?”
Jian Qing: “I won’t go back, I will go to the university city for class in the afternoon.”
Medical school holidays are traditionally short, and students have returned to school for a new semester.
The old campus of Jiangzhou University is in the university town. It takes more than an hour by bus or 40 minutes by subway from the city to the university town. The teachers of the affiliated hospital have to calculate the time in advance every time to avoid being late for class.
If you are 5 minutes late, it will be regarded as a teaching accident, and you will be posted on the official website of the Academic Affairs Office to report criticism, and your qualifications for professional title competition and evaluation will be cancelled.
Lu Yinxi didn’t dare to delay Jian Qing’s time, and he didn’t want to go back to the hospital with red and swollen eyes to pick up clothes, and would be caught by acquaintances and question him, so he picked a white down jacket and wrapped it up.
She is a walking hanger, and she looks good with a bed sheet casually.
Jian Qing straightened her hat and looked at her in the mirror. She didn’t say she looked good or bad, but her eyes stayed on her face for a few more seconds.
After leaving the store, Lu Yinxi asked, “Go by car or take the subway?” She doesn’t like to take the bus, she will get motion sickness, so she didn’t ask about the bus.
“Subway.” Jian Qing didn’t sleep much last night, and he didn’t take a lunch break at noon. He didn’t want to drive tired, so he could squint for a while on the subway.
Avoiding the peak hours of traffic when going to work, the two went to the subway station to wait for the train.
There were no more words of explanation, no confession of each other’s thoughts, and a look of remorse and tears, just hugged her and shed some tears quietly, and just reconciled, as if nothing had happened, continuing the usual That kind of relationship.
Before the train arrived, the two stood in the waiting area one after the other.
Lu Yinxi was standing too far in front, Jian Qing pulled her back.
She took a step back obediently, stood on one side, and turned her head to see Jian Qing’s profile.
Jian Qing didn’t have much expression on her face.
She always has this alienated and cold posture, hiding all her feelings, and rarely expresses strong emotions. Even if conflicts arise, they will not quarrel, and will only be treated coldly by her.
Lu Yinxi looked away.
She can’t see through her.
She is older than herself, and has the tolerance and consideration of the elders, but she never shows her inner world to herself.
My own little thoughts are now exposed at a glance, but I don’t know if I have walked into her heart?
Standing side by side, the back of her right hand touched her left hand.
Lu Yinxi moved her right hand, and hooked her left little finger with her little finger.
With icy knuckles hooked in his hands, the reminder of the subway entering the station sounded in his ears, and the train rumbled from a distance, and a train carriage passed by quickly.
Amidst the noise, Jian Qing suddenly opened her mouth and softly called Lu Yinxi’s name: “Yinxi.”
Lu Yinxi turned her head and looked at Jian Qing’s pretty side face.
Jian Qing said softly: “I’m 30 years old, and I don’t have the energy to play around with a 20-year-old girl.”
“Don’t provoke me in the future.”
The train stopped, the carriage opened, she took out her hand and entered the carriage.
After entering the carriage, there was no seat, Jian Qing grabbed the armrest, closed his eyes and rested his mind.
Lu Yinxi followed behind her without speaking.
There were people standing all around, and there were no handrails to hold on to, so they just stood upright.
The stability of the subway is very good. There is no sudden brake like the bus, and she can stand still without handrails. It’s just that when getting on and off the bus, there are crowds of people rushing over each other, making her a little unsteady.
When being squeezed to a stagger, Lu Yinxi glanced at Jian Qing, and subconsciously wanted to hug her hand, remembering her sentence “You can’t provoke me”, and instantly withdrew her hand.
After Jian Qing finished that sentence, Lu Yinxi didn’t explain anything, allowing himself to be misunderstood by her was just playing on the spot.
How else to explain it?
It’s not just a joke, I really like you, but I can’t be with you, sooner or later I have to leave you?
Such a feeble explanation, I’m afraid she won’t get half of her eyes.
Then it’s up to her to misunderstand, and let her think that it’s the little girl’s love on the spur of the moment, which will subside after a while.
After a moment of dejection, Lu Yinxi thought that she had revealed her age.
She is 30 years old.
Only 30 ah…
I am not actually 20 years old, but already 25.
5 year age difference…
It’s not that much of a difference. In the real world, there are people in their teens and twenties.
If it would be nice to meet in reality, I can actively pursue it, and say that I like it openly.
pity…
Forget it, don’t be greedy.
Now, it’s good to be able to get along with each other in harmony. No matter what the relationship is, no matter what her mentality is, Lu Yinxi only wants to change the ending of herself and her, and then return to the original world.
Love is a luxury right now, not a necessity.
Between two people, love is not necessary, friendship is also a kind of bondage, perhaps, friendship is more stable than love that is always worried about gains and losses.
Of course, it is best not to have the idea of kissing and hugging her anymore. Friendship should not be contaminated with desire.
With a tight chest, Lu Yinxi kept doing psychological work for himself to calm his emotions, and he didn’t care about being a little unsteady when he was squeezed by the crowd getting off when the train braked.
Jian Qing opened his eyes, glanced at her, without saying a word, pulled her over and led her, then continued to close his eyes and meditate.
As soon as they hold hands, the skin of each other touches and the temperature melts, the ears start to feel hot, the heart beats faster, the seeds of joy rush to the head, and the body seems to be unable to restrain the secretion of phenylethylamine.
Lu Yinxi was dumbfounded, and whispered in her ear: “I didn’t take the initiative to provoke you…”
Jian Qing closed her eyes and replied: “Friendly help, don’t think too much.”
Lu Yinxi groaned, trying to extinguish the joy in his heart.
Spontaneous chemical reactions cannot be controlled rationally, Lu Yinxi can only control his own behavior, not to look at Jian Qing, not to lean on her.
After a few stops, getting farther away from the city center, and fewer and fewer people in the carriage, Lu Yinxi observed the crowd in the carriage, and found out the people who seemed to be about to get off from the body movements of everyone, stared at their seats, and stood together , Lu Yinxi pulled Jian Qing to sit down.
“Go to sleep, I will call you when we arrive.”
Jian Qing sat on the seat and closed his eyes to rest his mind. Within a minute, Lu Yinxi asked again: “Have you ever seen a specialist doctor? It’s not good for your health to keep insomnia like this at night, right?”
Jian Qing closed her eyes, and replied slowly: “Who am I insomnia for these two days, don’t you know?”
Lu Yinxi was stunned.
After finally calming down, her heart throbbed again because of her words.
The author has something to say: Lu Yinxi: Excessive! Don’t let me tease her, she keeps teasing me instead!
Jian Qing: I’m just imitating you from a while ago
