Chapter 69 Little White Flower

Ji Mian didn't expect Li Jue to answer him. He was subtly hinting to Li Jue that he was not needed here.

I hope Li Jue can understand it himself and then roll away smoothly.

But he underestimated Li Jue's ability to withstand pressure and his willpower. A vein popped up on Li Jue's forehead, and it was obvious that he was trying his best to control his emotions. He forced a smile that was uglier than crying. "You, want to propose to Fu Chenyu? Why?"

Ji Mian grumbled quietly: "Why is that? I want to marry him."

"Isn't it good to be in love?" Li Jue gritted his teeth.

Sure enough, the bottom line is something that needs to be compared.

Compared to the fact that Ji Mian decided to propose to Fu Chenyu, Li Jue felt that it would be better for them to continue dating!

At least being in love doesn't have such a significant meaning, and it won't give him the feeling that they are really going to be together for the rest of their lives.

"Being in love is good." Ji Mian looked at the ring intently: "But getting married is better."

"What's so good about getting married?" Li Jue said anxiously, "There's no passion after marriage. Why don't you just stay in love forever?"

Ji Mian looked at Li Jue with a strange look. Li Jue gradually calmed down, his expression becoming bitter. "Do you think I'm an idiot? Ji Mian, people's bottom line is always like this. I wanted to be with you before, then I just hoped you wouldn't be with Fu Chenyu, and then I just hoped you wouldn't get married. Why... does it have to be him?"

Ji Mian turned his head: "If it's not him, could it be you? You are such a weird person. I don't know you very well, why does it have to be you?"

The more Ji Mian thought about it, the more strange it felt. He simply said, "Don't you think you're weird? We didn't even know each other in high school, and you said you liked me right away. Why should I like you? It's inexplicable."

Li Jue was speechless. Now that the topic came back to this point, he couldn't explain the truth to Ji Mian.

After Ji Mian finished speaking, he finally picked out the couple's rings he liked, but the price was a little expensive. Fortunately, he had saved a lot of pocket money from working in the past few years, so he could still afford tens of thousands of yuan!

Li Jue said sourly, "What's so good about this? It's only tens of thousands of yuan." After thinking for a moment, he added, "Anyway, Fu Chenyu is not suitable to wear a ring."

Ji Mian was a little unhappy about what he said: "I'm not giving it to you. You'll know if it fits you after you try it on." He warned Li Jue: "If you keep talking, go back by yourself."

Li Jue indeed kept silent.

Ji Mian's plan to propose to Fu Chenyu was a huge blow to him. For a long time afterwards, Ji Mian didn't see Li Jue in front of him.

Maybe accept the fact and stay indoors?

In fact, Ji Mian was not quite sure why Li Jue was so obsessed with him. He did not see any love in his previous life, not to mention that the two of them had no intersection in this life.

never mind.

Spending time thinking about Li Jue is simply a waste of your life.

Ji Mian put away the engagement ring worth twenty thousand yuan and placed it in the drawer of the bedside table. During their internship in their junior year, the two moved out of the school dormitory and officially lived together.

But when he thought about the time when they were intimate at night, Fu Chenyu would open the drawer to take out some small things, Ji Mian felt that it was not safe to put them there, as they might be easily discovered by Fu Chenyu.

So he wandered around the house for a long time and finally hid the ring in the closet.

When Fu Chenyu came back in the evening, Ji Mian felt like he had done something wrong and was a little nervous.

Fu Chenyu stared at him for a while, then looked away: "I'm hungry."

"There's food. I'll heat it up for you." Ji Mian was very attentive.

While eating, Ji Mian took out a bottle of red wine from the wine cabinet.

I bought it for Valentine's Day this year and haven't opened it yet.

Ji Mian poured most of the bottle for Fu Chenyu and coaxed him to finish it. Fu Chenyu's alcohol tolerance was not very good, and the red wine had a strong aftereffect. After dinner and bathing, he felt a little sleepy.

Ji Mian helped him to the bed to rest. When she came out of the shower, Fu Chenyu's breathing had become steady and he looked asleep.

Ji Mian quietly opened the wardrobe, took out the black velvet box containing the wedding rings, squatted in front of the bed, and gently took Fu Chenyu's hand off the bed.

Fu Chenyu's hands are usually quite cold, but maybe it's because his blood circulation is better after drinking alcohol, so Ji Mian felt that they were warm.

He had a few drinks with Fu Chenyu, but because they were about to do something bad, they stayed up late secretly, and now they were only a little tipsy. Ji Mian kissed the back of his hand and touched Fu Chenyu's joints. Under the light, his hand was as white as jade, even emitting a translucent light.

In the original novel, these hands were stained with invisible blood and were once everyone's nightmare.

Just a simple pull of the trigger or a tap of the keyboard can take the lives of countless people.

Now that everything was clean, Ji Mian felt a little swelled in the heart.

He looked at it for a while, then quickly took out the ring and put the one that belonged to Fu Chenyu on him without further ado.

The size was just right, not too loose nor too tight. Ji Mian's heart started pounding when she put it on.

He didn't dare let Fu Chenyu wear it for too long, and just came to try it out for size in the evening.

When Ji Mian bought it, he followed his memory, fearing that he would buy the wrong size.

Unexpectedly, it fits so well on Fu Chenyu's hand.

Ji Mian couldn't help but take a few photos and put them in his phone.

Then he put the ring back to its original place and hid it, then lay down on the bed and fell asleep contentedly.

After a while, he fell into a deep sleep.

There was no movement in the room for a long time, and then in the night, Fu Chenyu opened his eyes.

His eyes were clear, without any sleepiness at all. He was obviously pretending to be asleep!

Fu Chenyu first pinched Ji Mian's face with his hand. His face was fleshy, and it felt very good to pinch it.

Then he found the place where this stupid rabbit hid the treasure and dug out the treasure that he had buried so well - Fu Chenyu complained in his heart, otherwise why would he say Ji Mian was a stupid rabbit.

Even rabbits know that they have three burrows, but he has never changed since he was a child. He just likes to hide things in the cupboard.

The black velvet box was opened again by Fu Chenyu.

The two rings were placed quietly, but Fu Chenyu's heart was not at peace.

He stared at the rings for a long time, then took out another pair of rings that he had bought a long time ago from the cabinet.

A very nonsensical joke popped up in my mind.

Fu Chenyu had seen a couple online before. They were planning to propose to each other secretly, and they chose the same day.

The scene was very funny at one point. The two of them knelt down at the same moment, and it seemed like they were kowtowing to each other and bowing directly to each other.

Fu Chenyu still cares about face in his heart.

Therefore, he would never allow anything unexpected to happen in such an important matter in his life, and he must propose to Ji Mian before she does.

As a result, the accident happened very suddenly. On the day of the graduation ceremony, Ji Mian received a call from the police station. After taking graduation photos, he rushed to the scene without even taking off his clothes.

His proposal plan fell through before it was even carried out. Fortunately, he hadn't told Fu Chenyu about it before, otherwise it would have been so frustrating.

The Zhoujiaxiang Police Station received a major case this time. Two elderly people living alone in the Bihai community were murdered and their bodies were hidden in the refrigerator. They were not discovered until two weeks later by their neighbors.

The couple's only grandson was found a few days later beneath a dam near the Bihai residential complex. The case was serious. With news coverage, media coverage, public reassurance, and Weibo public relations, the Zhoujiaxiang Police Station was under immense pressure. Ji Mian was kept busy for a month straight.

By the time the case was finally solved, it was already November and autumn had arrived.

The truth of the case was finally revealed. The person who killed the old man and the child was the nanny hired by the family. She was greedy for the old man's money and originally just wanted to steal some things. As a result, she was caught by the old man and an argument broke out. The nanny accidentally killed the old man, and later the old man's lover saw it, which eventually led to this disaster.

Only after the nanny was sentenced to death did Ji Mian have time to rest. After returning home and sleeping for two days and two nights, he remembered that he had not yet completed the proposal.

Song Wenqi sent him a message asking how it was going, but Ji Mian was too embarrassed to say that it hadn't even started yet.

The ring lay quietly in the black velvet box in the cabinet. Ji Mian would take it out and look at it from time to time.

Before his proposal was successful, he received news from Lin Minzhi that it was Zhang Xianzhen who called him.

His mother fainted in the company and has been sent to the hospital for emergency treatment. She is now fine.

When Ji Mian heard the news, he felt like he was falling into an ice cellar. The original plot that had stopped suppressing him many years ago was now suddenly hanging over his head like a knife.

After Ji Mian went to college, he had little time to go back to see Lin Minzhi.

But over the years, he still reminded Lin Minzhi on the phone every day that she must have regular physical examinations, especially eye examinations. Unexpectedly, Lin Minzhi still had an accident in the company.

That afternoon, Ji Mian submitted an application to the police station and asked for leave to return to Tongcheng.

Ji Mian did not hide this from Fu Chenyu, and they went back together.

When they arrived at the hospital, Zhang Xianzhen accompanied Lin Minzhi. After so many years, his mother and Uncle Zhang had both grown old.

The woman who was chatting with Lin Minzhi was Mrs. Zhou. Ji Mian called her Aunt Zhou. She was Lin Minzhi's younger sister in old age, and the two of them could talk about anything.

Normally, Lin Minzhi wears makeup and takes good care of herself, so her age is not obvious. But now, lying on the hospital bed, there are fine wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, and her face looks a little tired.

Mrs. Zhou smiled when she saw him. "Your son is here. I'll go wash you some fruit while you chat."

When Ji Mian saw Lin Minzhi, his eyes immediately turned red and he grabbed her hands: "Mom, what did the doctor say?"

"It's nothing serious. I just had low blood sugar and fainted." Lin Minzhi said, "Mom is fine. And even if something happened, I'm not afraid. You and your brother are grown up. I've had a good life. I won't worry about you even if I die."

Ji Mian quickly stopped her: "Mom! Don't say such things."

Fu Chenyu sat on the other side. Lin Minzhi felt a little embarrassed: "Look, I just had a minor illness. It's not worth both of you rushing back. Your brother is the same. I can't persuade him, but he also ran back to join in the fun."

"Xiao Chen is so busy with business right now, and you're busy with cases, so why are you coming back?"

Ji Mian: "No one is as important as you. I have to stay with you until you are discharged from the hospital."

Ji Mian has always been very concerned about Lin Minzhi's affairs.

After all, in the original novel, Lin Minzhi did not live very long and passed away just after she turned fifty.

Whenever something happened to her, Ji Mian would be worried and afraid. He really couldn't bear the fact of losing Lin Minzhi.

Fu Chenyu talked to the doctor and learned that Lin Minzhi was indeed fine. She was just old and had been busy for so many years, so her blood sugar was a little low.

The day I fainted was because I didn’t eat breakfast and slept late. It looks scary, but actually I just need to rest for a while.

Ji Mian stopped Lin Minzhi from interfering in the company's affairs. Ji Yao quit his job in Hai City and returned to Tongcheng to help Lin Minzhi manage the family business.

Ji Yao had experience as a senior executive, so Lin Minzhi found it easy to teach him. Over the years, she had worked hard to build a career, and all the factors added up made her a female boss with assets exceeding 100 billion yuan.

It was the first time that Ji Mian knew that his family was so rich, and he was stunned for a long time. He even found out that the most popular national chain bakery on the market, where you could see a queue of 20 to 30 people every time you passed by, was actually a business under Lin Minzhi.

...This must be the subtle feeling of realizing that you are a rich second-generation only when you are twenty-two years old.

After this incident, Ji Mian thought about it again and again, and after discussing with Fu Chenyu, he submitted an application to Brother Wang. He did not plan to stay in Jianjing, but was preparing to return to the Tongcheng Public Security Bureau for development.

Fu Chenyu's side job is related to the Internet, so it doesn't matter where he works.

The company in Jianjing also has a branch in Tongcheng. After Fu Chenyu submitted his application, it was approved within a month and he was transferred to Tongcheng.

When he left, the company's deputy general manager tried to keep him, saying it was a pity.

He couldn't understand why Fu Chenyu gave up his job in Jianjing and went to work in Tongcheng - although Tongcheng is now a quasi-first-tier city, there is still a big gap compared to the capital.

Fu Chenyu sorted out the documents on his desk and replied, "Go back to my hometown to get married."

The deputy general manager was slightly surprised: "Marriage? Didn't you just graduate this year?"

"Yeah. I and," he paused, "my wife and I have known each other for a long time and grew up together, so I wanted to get married and settle down early."

The general manager didn't expect that Fu Chenyu, who had the handsome face of a sea king scumbag, could actually have such a pure love story: "You two are childhood sweethearts, right?"

Fu Chenyu nodded: "Yeah."

“I’ll go!”

“Is this true?!”

"Xiao Fu, you are going to hurt my sister's heart!"

Suddenly, there were more and more people gossiping in the office.

After all, when Fu Chenyu was interning in the company, many female colleagues added him on WeChat, but except for those who needed it for work, no one else added him.

I originally thought that Fu Chenyu was shy, but I didn’t expect that he already had a wife!

"Marrying young..."

The female colleagues in the office expressed their feelings.

The deputy general manager jokingly said, "Xiao Fu is so handsome, your wife must be a great beauty to win you over."

Fu Chenyu was not modest and said, "He is very handsome."

The deputy general manager suddenly felt like he had been fed a mouthful of dog food. He stopped making trouble and slipped into the tea room to make coffee.

Ji Mian and Fu Chenyu spent more than two months dealing with work matters. By the time they finally got all the work done in Tongcheng, it was already before the New Year.

The first snow of the year fell in Tongcheng. Ji Mian was packing up their new home, a small villa located on the edge of a scenic spot in the city center. It was quiet and peaceful. It was the wedding house that Lin Minzhi bought for Ji Mian - she hadn't told Ji Mian this yet because she was afraid that Ji Mian would be embarrassed to live in it.

Ji Mian packed his things from home to the small villa bit by bit, just like an ant moving house.

Fu Chenyu's work in Tongcheng is much easier than in Jianjing. The pace of life in Jianjing is fast. Going to work is like being in a hurry to be reborn. It is common to work overtime until eleven or twelve o'clock every day. Small companies all work 996, not to mention their big companies, which are almost 007.

After arriving in Tongcheng, Fu Chenyu had more free time and no longer had to work overtime at the company all day long. Instead, he liked this kind of life more - he was not short of money, and he wanted to spend time with Ji Mian.

Ji Mian had the same idea as him. He returned to Tongcheng from Jianjing because he wanted to be with his family.

He had less and less time to spend with Lin Minzhi, and Ji Mian didn't want to spend all his time on work.

In Tongcheng, because of Lin Jianyi's relationship, Ji Mian's work in the police station went more smoothly than in Jianjing.

There haven't been any cases recently, so he's been busy moving in his free time.

During the weekend, Ji Mian suddenly asked Fu Chenyu, "Why didn't I see you moving anything? Are they just the ones Jianjing brought back?"

There was actually nothing to move in Fu Chenyu's old house, but since Ji Mian said so, he still let Ji Mian accompany him home.

There was no one at the Lin family at this time. Lin Xi was at work, Lin Yun was at school, and Lin Jianyi was a person who did not go home for many years. Now he is a rising star in the political circle of Jianjing, very popular, and has a bright future.

Fu Chenyu opened the door. The room smelled like no one had lived there for a long time. The nanny must have come to clean it every day, at least there was no dust on the cabinet.

Four years later, Ji Mian stepped into Fu Chenyu's room again, feeling that time had passed by so quickly.

Fu Chenyu's room was the same as it was when he was in high school. The layout and placement of the furnishings hadn't changed much, except that the computer on the desk was gone.

"Where is this computer?" Ji Mian asked.

"It takes up space. Let the nanny move to the utility room." Fu Chenyu answered casually.

"Ah. I want to take a look. Is your computer still usable?" It was made four years ago, so it should be usable. If it's not broken, Ji Mian wants to move it to his new home!

Fu Chenyu raised his eyebrows: "I can't tell. Mrs. Fu is very virtuous."

Ji Mian was speechless. Her face turned red when he teased her. "We're not married yet, so who is your wife?"

Fu Chenyu said tactfully: "Are you tired of getting married?"

Ji Mian: ...

I don’t want to bother with him!

Saving is one aspect, and on the other hand he was reluctant to throw away Fu Chenyu's things.

Ji Mian had grown up with Fu Chenyu for more than twenty years. They had countless shared memories and a closeness that no one could interfere with.

Ji Mian wanted to take everything about Fu Chenyu home and collect it like a piece of junk. He even kept the pen that Fu Chenyu used in his senior year of high school.

Fu Chenyu opened the warehouse on the first floor, Ji Mian took out the computer and put it in the car.

Then he went upstairs again and returned to Fu Chenyu's room to help him tidy up his clothes.

There were high school uniforms in the closet, as well as some private clothes that Ji Mian had seen and that Fu Chenyu often wore.

The style from four years ago is a bit outdated now. Ji Mian muttered to himself: Why not take them all away? After all, Fu Chenyu won’t live here in the future.

He glanced at the room. No wonder Fu Chenyu said there was nothing to move.

The things here are all his clothes and supplies before college. After college, he lived in Jianjing and bought everything new. Of course, Fu Chenyu doesn't need his childhood things now.

Ji Mian had no choice but to look for some things he thought were more memorable, such as an alarm clock or books. He searched the bookshelf and found the basketball that Fu Chenyu played with in junior high school and the water cup he used in high school...

Then, when he was packing up his books, the violin on the shelf was not placed firmly and fell down.

Ji Mian didn't pay attention, he just heard the noise. Fu Chenyu quickly caught the violin. Maybe it hadn't been used for many years, and the violin couldn't bear the weight. It was tossed around and a little fox pendant on it fell to the ground.

Ji Mian picked up the little fox pendant and felt that it looked very familiar.

He soon remembered that this was Fu Chenyu's first violin, given to him by Ning Qian.

Fu Chenyu took the little fox pendant and hung it on the violin again.

Next to the violin is a fairy tale book called "Rabbit Country", which was probably what Fu Chenyu read when he was a child.

Ji Mian knew that the violin Ning Qian gave him was of great significance, so he said, "Take this one with you too. We have a big house anyway, so we can put it in the bedroom."

Fu Chenyu put down the violin and seemed to be lost in memories.

Ji Mian didn't say anything, but just took down "Rabbit Country" and opened the book. A small white flower that was flattened fell down.

This little white flower seemed to have opened up Ji Mian's memory, and he instantly remembered the first time he saw Fu Chenyu in 1997.

"Why do you still keep this?" Ji Mian picked up the little white flower, afraid that it would break, and pressed it back into "Rabbit Kingdom".

Fu Chenyu came back to his senses and was stunned for a moment: "What?"

"Flowers." Ji Mian lay on Fu Chenyu's back as a matter of course, her eyes curved with a smile: "I thought you had lost it a long time ago. I gave you these flowers at the train station. Oh, you don't remember, I remember, you didn't see me at that time."

Fu Chenyu's pupils suddenly constricted, his throat was dry, and his tone almost revealed a sense of disbelief: "It's you."

The author has something to say: I didn’t expect that the boss’s childhood goddess turned out to be his wife (bu)
