Chapter 34

Luo Qingli leaned on the shelf beside her. She could feel that the temperature around her was gradually dropping as time passed.

She curled herself up into a ball, which was her experience gained over the years and the most useful posture for facing loneliness.

In fact, she should have understood it long ago.

No one in this world will put you first, not even your parents.

You can't pin your hopes on others, you have to rely on yourself.

However, in this situation, she couldn't rely on herself. Did she have to kick open the iron door?

Luo Qingli's wild thoughts successfully relieved her previous despair, and she once again used her optimism to pull herself out of the quagmire of pessimism.

Yes, she could do it before, and she can do it even better now!

As he was thinking about this, Luo Qingli suddenly felt sleepy.

It must be almost late at night, that's why I'm so sleepy.

Thinking of this, Luo Qingli changed to a comfortable position and slowly closed his eyes.

If there is anything, let’s wait until she wakes up.

I had just closed my eyes when suddenly, there was a noise at the door.

Luo Qingli opened his eyes and looked at the door.

Could it be an illusion because she wanted to go out too much?

The noise at the door became louder and louder, and Luo Qingli could clearly hear the sound of the lock outside the door being opened.

She looked towards the door, not knowing what she was thinking. It seemed like she was expecting something, but also like she wasn't expecting anything. In short, she was very calm.

The door was pushed open with a bang, and the loud noise echoed in the room.

Luo Qingli saw Ji Jinsi appear outside the door.

He looked around and quickly locked his gaze on himself. He pursed his lips and walked towards me with a gloomy face.

He seemed to be harboring endless anger, but he suppressed it, like a dark cloud brewing a huge storm, with a frightening calmness.

Ji Jinsi walked up to Luo Qingli, squatted down, and looked at her quietly, with an imperceptible heartache in his eyes.

"I'm here to find you, are you scared?" Ji Jinsi asked in a low voice.

Luo Qingli shook his head.

She struggled to get up, but her legs were numb from sitting for so long, and she fell back down before she could even stand up.

Ji Jinsi put his arm around her waist and with a little effort, held her horizontally in his arms.

Luo Qingli was held in Ji Jinsi's arms. She leaned her head gently in Ji Jinsi's arms, and a sense of security arose spontaneously, as if all the haze before had been dispelled by Ji Jinsi's arms.

"Mr. Ji, this is the bag we found at the door." A man in security uniform came forward and handed Luo Qingli's bag over.

Luo Qingli reached out to take his bag and held it in his arms.

Ji Jinsi carried Luo Qingli out and said to the security guard in a deep voice, "Call Li Kun over now and let him handle this matter properly."

It was already late and all the lights in the company were turned off, with only the lights in the corridor still on.

Ji Jinsi walked towards the elevator.

"Ji Jinsi, you're too late." Luo Qingli said in a relaxed tone.

"Yeah, my bad."

When they reached the elevator door, Luo Qingli reached out and pressed the elevator button. The elevator door opened and Ji Jinsi walked in.

"Go to the underground garage." Ji Jinsi said.

Luo Qingli obediently pressed the elevator button for the lowest floor.

"Actually, I'm not afraid."

"Yeah, I know."

Luo Qingli leaned in Ji Jinsi's arms, feeling his strong heartbeat, again and again, as if it were one with her own heartbeat.

Uncle Liu's car was waiting at the elevator entrance. As soon as Ji Jinsi came out, Uncle Liu hurried over to help him open the car door.

Ji Jinsi put Luo Qingli in the back seat, got in from the other door, and sat next to Luo Qingli.

He reached out and pulled Luo Qingli over, letting her lean on him, and with his other hand, he grabbed Luo Qingli's hand.

The two of them leaned against each other closely, just like they used to.

Neither of them spoke.

Luo Qingli looked at the lights passing by outside the window, and all kinds of emotions and thoughts popped up in his mind, but he couldn't grasp them one by one, so he could only let his thoughts run wild.

The car stopped, Luo Qingli looked out the window and found that it was not Jiang Ran's residential area.

Ji Jinsi got out of the car, walked around to her side and opened the door for her.

Ji Jinsi wanted to hug her again, but Luo Qingli quickly refused.

To prove that she was not so weak, she quickly got out of the car herself.

"I'm fine, you see. My legs are just numb from sitting for too long."

In order to prove that what he said was correct, Luo Qingli jumped a few times.

"It seems that you have recovered. Let's go." Ji Jinsi put his arm around Luo Qingli's shoulders.

Luo Qingli was taken into the elevator by Ji Jinsi, and suddenly found that the elevator looked a little familiar.

Watching Ji Jinsi press the top floor button, all the previously forgotten memories came back.

This is the house that Ji Jinsi built in Linshuihua!

When the elevator door opened and Luo Qingli saw the familiar entrance door, he was completely certain.

Why did Ji Jinsi bring her here? Luo Qingli wanted to ask, but held back.

The two entered the house. The furnishings in the house were almost exactly the same as three years ago, as if these three years had never happened.

Ji Jinsi asked Luo Qingli to sit on the sofa.

He asked, "Are you hungry?"

She didn't feel anything until Ji Jinsi asked, but as soon as she asked, she felt her stomach growling.

Luo Qingli nodded honestly.

Ji Jinsi poured a glass of water for Luo Qingli and went into the kitchen.

Luo Qingli looked towards the kitchen curiously, wondering in his heart, could it be that Ji Jinsi was planning to cook?

Can Ji Jinsi cook?

Is the food cooked by Ji Jinsi edible?

If Ji Jinsi's cooking is bad, how can I pretend to taste good?

As he was daydreaming about this, Luo Qingli suddenly felt something soft rubbing against his ankle.

She was startled and looked down, only to find a pure white cat at her feet.

Thinking of the ice cream at home, Luo Qingli had a natural liking for kittens.

She reached out and carefully touched the kitten, but unexpectedly the kitten not only did not dodge, but also lay down and exposed its soft belly to Luo Qingli.

Luo Qingli loved the kitten even more because it was so well-behaved. He reached out and picked up the kitten and placed it on his lap.

The kitten meowed softly, then lay obediently on her legs, allowing her to pet it.

So cute! Luo Qingli’s mind was completely occupied by the kitten.

It is soft and fragrant, just like marshmallow. Once you touch it, you won’t want to let it go.

Under the warm yellow light, the girl sat on the soft sofa with a furry kitten lying on her legs. The girl had a smile on her face and gently stroked the cat with her hand.

When Ji Jinsi came out with two bowls of noodles, he saw such a heartwarming scene.

He just stared at it for a while, then said, "Come here, it's time to eat."

Ji Jinsi's words broke Luo Qingli's intoxication.

Luo Qingli looked over and saw two bowls of noodles on the dining table.

It was really Ji Jinsi who did it!

Luo Qingli held the kitten and walked to the front of the dining table curiously, "Ji Jinsi, did you really do this?"

Ji Jinsi put the tableware away, sat in front of his own bowl and said, "Why? If I didn't make it, how could I have changed it?"

Luo Qingli sat opposite Ji Jinsi, put the kitten on the chair next to him and said, "I thought you couldn't cook."

"I was an exchange student abroad for a year and learned how to cook during that time."

"Oh." Luo Qingli picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of noodles and took a bite.

Unexpectedly, it was quite good, at least not to the point of being inedible.

Luo Qingli looked up and saw Ji Jinsi looking at him.

"It's quite delicious." Luo Qingli smiled at Ji Jinsi.

Ji Jinsi didn't say anything, lowered his head, breathed a sigh of relief, and continued eating his noodles.

Luo Qingli never thought that there would be a day when he would be sitting in Ji Jinsi's house, eating noodles made by Ji Jinsi for him.

If I tell others about it, they will definitely think I was talking in my sleep, right?

After a while, Luo Qingli half-jokingly asked, "Why did you find me so late? I thought that with Mr. Ji's ability, he should be able to find me quickly."

"It's my fault." Ji Jinsi put down his chopsticks and looked at Luo Qingli seriously. "Sun Xi told me at the time that you left first. I went to your place, contacted Jiang Ran and Lin Pingyu, and finally returned to the company to check the surveillance. It's my fault. I shouldn't have listened to others."

Luo Qingli's heart skipped a beat, because he had left without saying goodbye before, so Ji Jinsi thought that he would leave suddenly this time too?

Luo Qingli's heart suddenly felt sour.

She smiled at Ji Jinsi and said, "I promise you, I will do what I promised you, and I will not break my promise."

Ji Jinsi's heart trembled. He looked at Luo Qingli and nodded seriously.

Perhaps the atmosphere was too wonderful, Luo Qingli suddenly wanted to tell his own story, things that he had never told anyone before.

"I'm telling you I'm not afraid." Luo Qingli said seriously.

"Well, I know, you're very brave."

Luo Qingli lowered his head, looked at the noodles in the bowl and said, "Actually, I used to be afraid too. When I was a child, I was afraid of the dark and afraid of being alone in my room. Since I came to North City, my classmates laughed at me and called me a country bumpkin and locked me in the toilet. My stepsister disliked me and locked me in the warehouse."

Ji Jinsi paused.

"I was scared at that time, and I cried secretly, but later I got used to it. At that time, I kept thinking of one thing in my heart: the things that make you cry now, one day, you will tell them with a smile. Look, am I not telling you with a smile now?"

"I didn't know you went through all this back then." Ji Jin thought of the scene at that time, and suddenly a dull pain surged in his heart.

"At that time, you were the school idol admired by everyone. How could you know about us, the little minions?" Luo Qingli made a joke.

At that time, no one in the school didn't know Ji Jinsi. His excellent grades, superior family background and handsome face attracted the attention of countless girls, including Luo Qingli.

Luo Qingli said self-deprecatingly: "At that time, I was just an ugly duckling. I didn't even have the chance to appear in front of you, let alone make you remember me."

"No." Ji Jinsi said softly, "I remember you."
