Qin Huan bit her lip.
"Jiang Jingchu, are you annoying? It's fun to tease me, isn't it?"
Jiang Jingchu was puzzled.
"What did I tease you about?"
Qin Huan's face turned red with anger.
"I was wondering why every time I'm with you, there's always only one room left. Turns out it's all your fault!"
Jiang Jingchu paused for a second after hearing this, then pinched his brows and raised a sly smile.
"Who told you this?"
Qin Huan didn't expect that Jiang Jingchu was still so nonchalant even after being exposed, and her cheeks puffed up with anger.
"Don't worry about who told me this. Do you dare to do it but not admit it?"
"Admit it, why don't you dare to admit it?"
Jiang Jingchu held Qin Huan's shoulders with both hands and tilted his head to look at her.
"Okay, I admit it. I just wanted to be with you. Since you didn't want to, I had to use a little trick. If you're really angry, I'll apologize to you, okay?"
Qin Huan didn't feel his sincerity at all, so she turned her face away.
"No."
Jiang Jingchu sighed.
"If you don't accept, then I will just kiss you until you accept."
As he spoke, he lowered his head and really moved forward to kiss her lips. Qin Huan quickly covered her mouth and cursed him incoherently.
"Jiang Jingchu, you are shameless!"
Jiang Jingchu smiled, bent down, picked up Qin Huan by the waist, stuffed her into the passenger seat, fastened her seat belt for her, and pecked her pink cheek before leaving.
"You are shameless only to me, so just be happy."
Qin Huan was speechless and breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that Jiang Jingchu's ability to act helpless was really getting better and better!
…
It was already noon when the two arrived at Mingxi Mountain.
Qin Huan originally wanted to come here with Jiang Jingchu for a casual stroll, but Jiang Jingchu suggested going to the Yue Lao Temple on the top of the mountain.
At this time, it was early summer and the temperature at noon was still a bit high. It would take at least an hour and a half to walk from the bottom of the mountain to the top.
Qin Huan's legs still felt a little sore and she was reluctant to move.
Jiang Jingchu half persuaded and half coaxed.
"Go ahead. I've been to Mingxi Town so many times, but I've never been to the Yue Lao Temple. If you can't walk anymore, I can carry you on my back."
Qin Huan was speechless.
"If you don't believe in these things, why go to Yue Lao Temple to see them?"
Jiang Jingchu took her hand and walked up the mountain without saying anything.
"I don't believe it, but with so many people going there to worship, I guess it's okay to join in the fun."
Just to join him in the fun, Qin Huan endured the pain in her thigh and was dragged by Jiang Jingchu to climb for more than an hour. When they were almost at the top of the mountain, she really couldn't walk anymore.
Take a few steps and then take a break.
When Jiang Jingchu saw this, he squatted in front of her and wanted to carry her on his back.
Qin Huan was too embarrassed to do that, so she walked around him and moved forward.
"Forget it, we'll be there soon, I'll just hold on a little longer."
Jiang Jingchu made a "tsk" sound, walked a few steps to Qin Huan, hooked his hands around her knees and lifted her up. Before Qin Huan could react, she was already lying on Jiang Jingchu's back.
"It's not like I haven't done this before, why are you so shy?"
Qin Huan's cheeks were slightly red, and she was afraid of slipping down, so she could only hook Jiang Jingchu's neck, opening and closing her mouth, breathing orchids into Jiang Jingchu's ears.
"I was just being shy. You've been walking for so long, and I was worried you might be exhausted."
Jiang Jingchu laughed roguely.
"It seems that I didn't perform well this morning, which is why you have such a big misunderstanding about my physical strength."
He didn't perform well?
It tortured her for more than an hour. Otherwise, why would her legs be so weak that she couldn't climb halfway, as she had been used to climbing Mingxi Mountain since she was a child?
Qin Huan rolled her eyes silently and lay on his back, too lazy to pay attention to him.
He walked steadily, his shoulders were broad and strong. Qin Huan remembered that on her birthday during her junior year, Han Xian and his gang coaxed her into drinking a lot of alcohol.
On the way home, she got drunk and said she felt dizzy from the car ride, and insisted that Jiang Jingchu carry her home.
Jiang Jingchu really doted on her at that time. Jinghe Bay was so far away that he got off the car halfway and carried her on his back step by step.
That was the most willful thing Qin Huan had ever done in front of Jiang Jingchu.
But the wind that night, Jiang Jingchu's slightly panting breathing, and the warmth from his back that faintly spread to her cheek, every time Qin Huan thinks of them, her chest will feel a swell of sweetness.
Qin Huan was immersed in memories.
A few young girls came down from the mountain and saw Jiang Jingchu carrying Qin Huan on his back, with envy on their faces.
"Wow, this little brother is so nice to the little sister."
"Exactly, and they're both incredibly good-looking. I really want to take a picture of them and post it on social media to show my roommates what a good match looks like."
The voices of several people were not suppressed at all, and Qin Huan and Jiang Jingchu heard them clearly.
Jiang Jingchu smiled proudly, shrugged and shook Qin Huan.
"Did you hear that? I said you and I are a perfect match."
Qin Huan pursed her lips and turned her face away.
"When you were with Ji Jingya, others also said that you were a perfect match."
Jiang Jingchu lifted Qin Huan up with his arm, tilted his head slightly and glanced at her.
"Why, are you jealous?"
Qin Huan swore that she really just said it casually.
"No, when I first saw your photo in the newspaper, I thought you two were a good match."
Jiang Jingchu's mind moved.
"Really? When was the first time you saw that newspaper?"
Qin Huan pressed down the corners of her mouth.
"I was still in the UK at the time, and Zhou Tiantian took the photo and sent it to me."
She still remembers the pain she felt in her internal organs after reading it.
Jiang Jingchu had beads of sweat on his forehead and a hint of smile flashed across his eyes.
"So, you returned home because you saw that newspaper? You couldn't bear to leave me?"
Qin Huan snorted and of course would not admit it.
"You're overthinking it. Returning home was something we had planned long ago."
But because of that newspaper, the original time was indeed brought forward a little bit.
"Oh, that's just my own way of thinking."
Jiang Jingchu's voice didn't sound particularly disappointed.
"Qin Huan, at most one and a half months."
One and a half months?
What's the meaning?
Qin Huan felt a little uneasy.
"Jiang Jingchu, what do you want to do? Don't be impulsive, I haven't thought it through yet."
Jiang Jingchu's eyes flickered with determination.
"Well, you think about yours, and I'll handle mine."
Jiang Jingchu carried Qin Huan on his back for more than twenty minutes before finally reaching the top of the mountain.
The Yue Lao Temple was crowded with people. Qin Huan was more interested in a wishing tree covered with red wishing ribbons. She looked up at the various wishes made by the pilgrims.
When I looked back, Jiang Jingchu had disappeared.
Qin Huan searched around and saw Jiang Jingchu writing on a wishing band in front of a stall selling wishing bands.
Qin Huan walked over curiously.
"What did you write?"
Jiang Jingchu had just finished writing the last stroke, and before Qin Huan came over, he put away the wishing band.
"Nothing, just writing something down."
Qin Huan made a "tsk" sound.
"Mysterious."
Jiang Jingchu walked to the wishing tree, looked around, and pointed to a place high up on the tree.
"I'll hold you while you tie this on."
Qin Huan had also heard that the higher the wishing ribbon was hung, the easier it was to make a wish come true.
Jiang Jingchu held her knees, lifted her up, and reached out to hang the wishing ribbon tightly on the tree branch.
After tying it, she straightened the wish ribbon and accidentally saw two simple sentences on it.
——By your side, you are by your side.
Below, Jiang Jingchu and Qin Huan's names were close together. A gust of wind blew, and the wishing ribbon flew away from her palm, causing Qin Huan's eyes to ache.
It turns out that he climbed the mountain for such a long time just to tie a wish ribbon with the words "belonging to the two of them" written on it...
Even when she was sitting on the return flight, those two lines of words kept appearing in Qin Huan's mind.
Jiang Jingchu sat next to her, and his hand had never been loosened since they got on the plane.
"Qin Huan, remember to give me the answer I want after Zhou Tiantian and Han Xian's wedding."
…
After getting off the plane, Jiang Jingchu and Qin Huan went their separate ways.
Jiang Jingchu directly boarded another plane to another place to discuss a very important cooperation in person.
Qin Huan had taken two days off and had a lot of things piled up on her hands. After she came back, she worked overtime at the company for several days in a row.
Two days before Zhou Tiantian's wedding, she went with Qin Huan to pick up the bridesmaid dresses. The craftsman's craftsmanship was really good. He just glanced at Qin Huan at the time and the size he changed was exactly the same.
Zhou Tiantian said it was a pity. If she had known earlier, she should have had the toast clothes custom-made at that clothing store.
Judging from the way she spoke, she and Han Xian should have reconciled.
Qin Huan was completely relieved and made an appointment with Zhou Tiantian to have dinner together in the evening. Zhou Tiantian asked her if anything happened between her and Jiang Jingchu in Mingxi Town.
Qin Huan roughly told her the story, and Zhou Tiantian was shocked.
"I've told you long ago that Brother Jing still has you in his heart, but you refused to believe me. You haven't been paying attention. The way he looks at you is so wrong. How could it be revenge?"
"Huan'er, what are you thinking right now?"
"Also, regarding Ji Jingya, did Brother Jing tell us what happened?"
Zhou Tiantian had so many questions that Qin Huan herself couldn't figure them out. Just as she was about to speak, the phone rang.
She took a look and saw that it was an unfamiliar number with no address. She felt suspicious for some reason and picked up the phone hesitantly. A voice came from the other end that made her feel nauseous.
