Chapter 37 "How can I contact you?"
"Thank you. If you hadn't told me, I might never have known in my life," Yan Jinnian said earnestly.
Anmi thought these were all minor matters.
"You're welcome. You got hurt because you were helping me."
Speaking of helping her, Anmi recalled the punch he gave her when he helped her break the gold chain last time; the wound was also on her left hand, it seemed.
Following her memory, she looked over and saw a small black pigmentation on the edge of Yan Jinnian's swollen hand, near the bone of his middle finger, which should be the spot where the scab had formed last time.
Just as the old wounds were healing, new ones appeared.
She sighed sincerely, "Am I a bit of a jinx to you?"
A hint of a smile seemed to flash in the man's eyes.
"I don't know."
Her guilt deepened.
It is an undeniable fact that Yan Jinnian helped her.
But she not only blocked him, she also got angry with him.
What an ungrateful wretch...
The drinks weren't ready yet, and the two had finished their conversation, leaving an awkward atmosphere.
Anmi thought about it and felt that she should take the initiative to break the ice.
"You... what brings you to Qingji Island?"
As soon as she asked the question, she suddenly remembered the last time at the convenience store, when he suddenly appeared when she was being hurt.
Could it be this time...?
"It's necessary for work."
"oh…"
Anmi twisted her fingers under the table.
Or are they just delusional and ungrateful people?
After asking all the questions, they ran out of things to say.
After a moment of silence, the man suddenly spoke: "I saw you at the Yan family's last time..."
"Oh!" Anmi's expression turned somewhat proud when she mentioned this.
"I found a job."
Yan Jinnian's eyebrows twitched slightly.
"Congratulations."
"Hehe..." Anmi was a little embarrassed.
Her eyes sparkled: "I never thought I'd get into the Yan family business."
"Why?"
Anmi was stunned, not expecting him to ask her that.
"Well... the Yan family is very powerful, and I don't have a high level of education or outstanding abilities," she said honestly.
Yan Jinnian looked at her quietly.
"People can grow."
His voice suddenly softened.
Who knows what the future holds for you?
(o.o)
Anmi felt as if those words were a compliment, and her mood instantly improved.
"Thanks."
The drinks were ready then.
The waiter placed the drinks on the table.
Yan Jinnian casually placed the back of his hand against the cup.
Seeing him like this, Anmi asked worriedly, "Is it still in a lot of pain?"
Yan Jinnian nodded.
She didn't know what to say to comfort him.
I had no choice but to help him insert the straw that the shop gave him into the cup.
"Drink it quickly, it will make the pain less."
The man's lips curled slightly as he took a sip through the straw.
His prominent Adam's apple bobbed up and down.
Anmi glanced at it twice, then looked away, feeling a little embarrassed.
After Yan Jinnian finished her drink, she said, "If you feel unwell later, just let me know."
She thought that flamingos are quite large animals, and if they had infectious diseases, there should be an incubation period.
They shielded her from that blow; if something really happened, she'd have to take some responsibility.
Unexpectedly, Yan Jinnian gave her a cold look.
How can I contact you?
Anmi blinked twice.
Suddenly I felt something terrible was about to happen!
I forgot to delete him on WeChat...
"Ha ha."
She chuckled dryly twice and took her phone out of her pocket.
"How about... I add you now?"
Yan Jinnian didn't speak, but stared at her for a long time.
Just when she thought he would humiliate her.
The man stood up from his seat.
"No need, I'm fine now."
After saying that, he left on his own.
Anmi stared blankly at the empty water glass in front of her; he had finished the entire drink.
It turns out he really just wanted a glass of water...
Anmi breathed a sigh of relief, but suddenly felt a sense of emptiness in her heart.
On the opened phone screen, the QR code that had been prepared beforehand gradually faded away.
The cabin quieted down, with only the somber music playing from the bar flowing in the air.
Anmi stretched out her toes and gently touched the ground.
Actually, this is quite good.
If a relationship is unsuitable, you should wake up from it in time.
She had assumed she would be the first to wake up.
I didn't expect that they were already awake.
She was the only one who hadn't woken up yet.
Anmi turned off her phone and sat for a while before leaving the cabin.
Zhao Meng's photos have been taken, and she's now feeding the flamingos on the lawn.
Anmi saw two flamingos arguing, their long necks forming the shape of a heart.
She watched it silently for a while, then took out her phone and took a picture.
At 3:30, the manager called everyone in the group chat to go to the bar on the second floor for a party that night.
That evening, Anmi followed Zhao Meng to the second floor.
The hotel's bar is very large, and it's frequented not only by their company staff but also by many hotel guests.
Zhao Meng spotted several handsome men in the crowd and excitedly grabbed An Mi's arm: "Qingji Island is truly a place of outstanding people and beautiful scenery!"
Anmi encouraged her to bravely pursue love, but Zhao Meng rejected her.
"These kinds of handsome guys are only meant to be admired from afar, not touched."
"The moment the distance disappears, the handsomeness changes."
Anmi teased her, "What, does your aesthetic sense only exist from a certain distance?"
Zhao Meng didn't offer much explanation, only throwing out five words at her: "Men, you know what I mean."
Anmi didn't dare to drink alcohol today; she just sat on the sofa.
Two young boys came up to her and asked for her WeChat, but she waved them off.
After sitting for a while, the men at the next table started smoking.
Anmi found the smell a bit pungent, so she told Zhao Meng that she was going out for some fresh air.
There is a corridor outside the bar that leads to a large open-air terrace.
Anmi walked down the corridor and as soon as she stepped into the balcony, she saw two beautiful women in tight dresses with cigarettes between their fingers, talking to a man.
The man's slender body leaned lazily against the railing; the night was so dark that his expression was obscured.
Her steps suddenly stopped.
As I was about to turn around, I accidentally bumped into the iron gate next to me.
With a loud bang, the three people over there all turned to look.
Anmi immediately felt embarrassed and wanted to escape the scene.
But suddenly a figure appeared in front of her and blocked her way.
Are you alright?
Anmi looked up and saw Liu Song.
He looked very worried: "Was he hurt anywhere?"
"I'm fine," Anmi hurriedly waved her hand.
He explained, "I didn't bump into anything; I just accidentally kicked it with my foot."
"I see." Liu Song smiled.
"When I saw you come out, I thought you weren't feeling well."
"Huh?" Anmi was a little embarrassed.
I didn't expect him to still be paying attention to me.
"Thank you, I'm not feeling unwell, it's just that there's a smell of smoke inside, which doesn't smell very good."
After saying that, Anmi suddenly realized that there were two young ladies smoking behind her.
She glanced over discreetly and saw the two of them walking towards her.
Three pairs of eyes met, but the other person's gaze lingered on her for only a moment before moving on.
Liu Song led An Mi onto the balcony, clearing a passage for the two of them to leave.
Anmi watched the person walk away down the corridor, her eyes subconsciously glancing behind her.
Yan Jinnian leaned lazily against the balcony as always.
This time, however, Anmi saw his expression clearly.
In the darkness of the night, his complexion looked rather grim, and his gaze even seemed somewhat fierce as he looked this way.
Anmi was startled by his gaze, wondering if she had interrupted his conversation with the beautiful woman and he was angry.
Turning around, Liu Song was looking at him with a big, warm smile.
"Anmi, let's go sit over there for a while."
He pointed to two bamboo rattan chairs on the balcony.
