One day, her best friend rushed over, holding her phone as if something major had happened: Zhen Tian, your man is on a matchmaking website!
Zhen Tian: ???
Another day, after attending ...
When Ji Yuzhi looked up, he saw the dessert shop where Tian Tian had queued up to buy his suit before he left, when she brought him there to have it made.
"Want to eat?"
Zhen Tian blinked her bright eyes as she looked at him.
"Alright, wait for me here." He sighed and patted her head twice.
"Brother Ji really manages to redefine my understanding of how much he spoils you every time." Ye Qingyan clapped her hands in admiration and pulled Zhen Tian to sit down on a chair to wait.
When Zhen Tian was bored, her eyes fell on the jewelry store.
She suddenly remembered something, reached out and pulled a long chain from her neck, the end of which was attached to the ring she had customized.
"What is this? This is the first time I've seen this!" Ye Qingyan leaned closer to take a look.
"A ring," Zhen Tian said with a grin, holding the bottom of the ring.
"Nonsense, how could I not know it's a ring?" Ye Qingyan really wanted to roll her eyes at her.
Then, a warm hand pressed down on Zhen Tian's hair and ruffled it haphazardly.
When Zhen Tian looked up, she saw Ji Yuzhi with a gentle smile on his face.
"Zhizhi, it's done so quickly!"
Ji Yuzhi hummed in agreement, took the ring in her hand, and said with a smile, "You've been carrying it with you the whole time?"
"Yes," Zhen Tian nodded, then suddenly remembered, "What about yours?"
She hadn't noticed.
Ji Yuzhi stretched out his hand, and the ring was still firmly on his left hand, untouched: "I've never dared to take it off."
Zhen Tian tilted her head back, her face beaming like a newly blossoming flower.
He reached out and took off the necklace for her, then placed it on her left middle finger again. Ji Yuzhi rubbed the letters on the ring twice with his thumb, then tapped them with his index finger, smiling with interest: "Do you know what Caroamor means?"
"I don't know." She turned her head away somewhat awkwardly.
“My dearest love.” Ji Yuzhi didn’t give her a chance to escape, and translated the words with a smile, then said, “How come I discovered that this ring isn’t the original, but a custom-made one?”
"Shut up, you're not allowed to say anything more."
Zhen Tian's face turned bright red, and she jumped up and covered Ji Yuzhi's mouth.
Ye Qingyan hung her head, covered her ears, closed her eyes, and muttered to herself, "I can't see, I can't hear, I can't see, I can't hear."
Ji Yuzhi was bent over from being bumped by her. He hugged her and laughed as he bumped her forehead: "This is the best gift I have ever received in my life."
Zhen Tian covered her face shyly, but after hearing this, she couldn't help but look at him and ask, "Do you really like it?"
“Of course!” He whispered in her ear, “This is the heart that Sweetie gave me.”
She bit her lip lightly, feeling both shy and delighted.
"Don't go too far, there's another living person here." Ye Qingyan stood up abruptly: "Who are you bullying?"
"Qingyan~~" Zhen Tian tugged at her and whimpered.
"Tsk tsk tsk. Sigh..." Ye Qingyan was speechless.
"Let's go, let's go get something to eat."
Zhen Tian took Ye Qingyan's arm and walked forward, while her other hand was tightly held by Ji Yuzhi.
Girls' shopping prowess should not be underestimated. Zhen Tian and Ye Qingyan bought two identical bags and several pieces of clothing in the afternoon.
Ji Yuzhi didn't complain at all throughout the process, and he swiped his card very readily.
As Ye Qingyan sat exhausted in the car on her way home, leaning against the window and looking at Zhen Tian, she couldn't help but give him a thumbs up: "Your little brother is amazing."
"I'm leaving, goodbye." After seeing Ji Yuzhi's car drive up, she waved to Zhen Tian and closed the dark car window.
Zhen Tian sat in the passenger seat, her joy at shopping making her dangle her little feet excitedly.
Ji Yuzhi glanced at her several times.
"Drive home!" Zhen Tian urged him.
He reluctantly unbuckled his seatbelt and then leaned over.
Zhen Tian's mouth gaped open in surprise. Was he just going to kiss her?!
Their closest moments before were only on the corners of their lips. Her heart was pounding, and she closed her eyes, feeling both nervous and afraid.
“Seatbelt, you idiot.” Ji Yuzhi stared at her moist lips for a few seconds before speaking.
He knew Zhen Tian had misunderstood. It wasn't that he didn't want to, but it just wasn't the right time yet.
"Huh? Oh!" Zhen Tian gripped the seatbelt that Ji Yuzhi had just fastened for her tightly with both hands, her face scrunched up in embarrassment.
She didn't dare to speak again on the way back.
"Goodnight, Zhizhi!" She didn't even glance at Ji Yuzhi when she got to her door, and opened the door to run away.
"Why are you running?"
Ji Yuzhi pulled her back and half-held her in his arms.
"Um..." she stammered, not daring to look at him.
He found it amusing, so he bent down and gently kissed her forehead, then kissed it again.
Zhen Tian panicked again.
"Wait until your birthday." Ji Yuzhi pinched her chin, forcing her to look up at him, and rubbed his fingers against her lips: "Don't rush."
"Who's in a hurry!" Zhen Tian pushed him away in embarrassment and anger, then turned and disappeared at the front door.
He stood by the door and chuckled softly.
The next day.
When Zhen Tian came out of the bedroom rubbing her eyes, she saw her parents and Zhizhi were there.
Good morning, Mom and Dad. Good morning, Zhizhi.
She was still wearing her pajamas, her hair disheveled, nestled in the sofa. The soft sofa sank in because of her, and she slumped into Ji Yuzhi's arms, finding a comfortable position like a clingy cat, her eyes half-closed. She clearly hadn't woken up properly.
I don't remember at all what we were like when we were arguing last night.
Zhen Lei had wanted to speak up several times, but then he thought that since he hadn't interfered before, he couldn't control the situation now.
It's all his fault for leaving Tian Tian in Ji Yuzhi's care when she was little.
Ji Yuzhi held her head in his hands and smoothed her hair with his other hand.
Wait until she wakes up.
"Why are Mom and Dad both here today?" After a while, Zhen Tian gradually came to her senses.
"The holiday has been almost ten days over. Mom and Dad want to ask where you want to travel. We don't have any homework this time, so we can play for a long time before coming back."
"Hmm... Is Zhizhi coming with me too?" Zhen Tian turned her head in his arms and looked up at Ji Yuzhi above her.
"I'm afraid that won't work." Ji Yuzhi paused in stroking her hair. "I'm going back to S City."
"What? Going back to S City? What for? You've only been back for a few days." Zhen Tian sat up abruptly and knelt beside Ji Yuzhi, looking at him anxiously.
"The studio can't function without people."
"When will you be back?" Zhen Tian asked unhappily, squeezing his little finger.
"I'll probably be very busy for a while."
He sounded heavy-hearted as he spoke, but Zheng An, Feng Li, and Zhao Zeyuan had just started their meeting at the studio, and he had to be there.
