Chapter 76 Insomnia
Hearing this, Liu Yanan also put down the book in his hand with a "bang", "No, how dare that bastard?!"
Jiang Jibai let out a long breath and sarcastically said, "I don't know how he could even utter those two words."
Jiang Jibai stared at the ceiling in silence.
Lin Shanshan was furious: "Doesn't he think he hurt you enough? This damn scumbag! Baby, you didn't agree to him, did you?"
She couldn't bear the heart-wrenching pain she experienced six years ago a second time.
Jiang Jibai clenched the quilt in her hands. How could she give him the chance to hurt her again and again?
"Of course not, how could I possibly agree?"
Lin Shanshan breathed a sigh of relief. She was afraid that Jiang Jibai, who was too love-brained, would fall into the trap of this scumbag again.
Lin Shanshan connected the dots, "So, he spent two million to attend the wedding for you?"
For her?
Jiang Jibai curled her lips slightly. She felt that it would be better for her not to be so self-indulgent.
"I don't know, and I don't want to delve into it." Jiang Jibai's eyes were calm. "I don't want to have anything to do with him anymore."
Lin Shanshan and Liu Yanan both agreed with her idea, saying that this mentality was best for her health.
Only by letting go of the people and things she was obsessed with in the past can she better escape the pain of the past.
As the lights went out, the whole room fell silent.
The curtains were not drawn tightly, and the light from outside the window shone through a small gap, piercing the quiet darkness.
Jiang Jibai stared at the beam of light in a daze.
After a while, she looked at the two people sleeping on her left and right. Lin Shanshan, who always had excellent sleep quality, had fallen asleep at this moment. There was also a slight snoring sound coming from Liu Yanan's side.
Jiang Jibai was a light sleeper and was very attached to her bed. Now she was tossing and turning and couldn't fall asleep. She left in such a hurry today that she even forgot to bring melatonin.
She opened her eyes and stared at the dark ceiling. As expected, she couldn't sleep.
She sighed deeply, as she had to get up early tomorrow. Jiang Jibai wrapped the quilt tightly again, changed to a side-lying position, closed his eyes, and forced himself to fall asleep.
Even though my eyelids were drooping, my brain was as excited as if it had been injected with chicken blood, and I still couldn't fall asleep.
Jiang Jibai suddenly opened his eyes.
Why not go out and buy some medicine? She touched her cell phone and saw that it was already past twelve o'clock. The pharmacy should be closed at this time.
Jiang Jibai threw his phone beside his pillow and his thoughts wandered.
She remembered that when she came here, she saw that the hotel had a garden on the first floor. It looked quite exquisite from a distance. She had wanted to take a look at it during the day, but she didn't have time. Strolling around the garden at night seemed quite romantic, just right for finding inspiration for her next theme painting.
She couldn't sleep anyway, so maybe she could fall asleep faster after going out for a walk.
Jiang Jibai left as soon as he said he would. He changed his clothes quietly, put on the hotel's cloth slippers, and closed the door quietly.
It was already very late and the garden was eerily quiet. The occasional gust of wind brought the sound of grass and trees rubbing against each other, which was infinitely amplified.
But luckily the lights were on, otherwise she wouldn't dare to walk alone.
It was early March and the cherry blossoms had already bloomed. Jiang Jibai walked forward along the floor tiles.
The grass on both sides of the path has sprouted new leaves and is green.
The pink and white cherry blossoms bloomed densely, clustered on the branches. When the wind blew, the petals fell like spring snow, covering the ground.
Although there is no snow in spring, Jiang Jibai still wants to describe it this way.
What a romantic scene it would be if it snowed in spring.
Suzhou is a southern city. The nights in Suzhou during this season are not as cold as those in Beijing and Huaihai. The wind brings a refreshing and fragrant coolness.
This scene is a bit like the Cherry Blossom Avenue at Beijing Huaihai University in mid-March, but this cannot be called an avenue, it can only be called a path.
Jiang Jibai took out his cell phone.
As an art student, Jiang Jibai has eyes that can discover beauty. She found several good angles and pressed the shooting button.
It’s just that the light at night is not good enough. The effect would definitely be better if the photos were taken during the day. However, these pictures are worthy of being included in her inspiration library.
She saw a field of tulips under the cherry trees in front of her, and her eyes lit up.
Jiang Jibai continued to move forward, but was caught off guard when he saw a tall figure walking out in front of him.
She was so scared that she almost threw her phone away.
It was not until the man walked from the dark area to under the street light that Jiang Jibai could see his face clearly.
Jiang Jibai was a little dazed when he saw the man walking towards him from under the cherry tree.
If it were six years ago, she would have rushed towards him without hesitation.
Gu Moyang was dressed in black, with only his cold pale face and his hands hanging by his sides glowing white under the warm white street lights.
His three-dimensional face was cut into distinct black and white blocks by the light source, like a plaster head with perfect proportions illuminated by light, three-dimensional and profound.
Putting everything aside, out of the instinct of an art student, Jiang Jibai had the urge to draw on his face with a pencil.
When Gu Moyang saw the girl in front of him, his originally dim eyes suddenly brightened.
Her black hair was loose, half of her palm-sized face was covered, her hands were bent in front of her chest, holding a cell phone, and there was a look of panic in her beautiful eyes.
A petal fell on the top of her hair.
Their eyes met, and it seemed like a century had passed while the petals fell from the cherry tree.
Gu Moyang knew that she was used to being in the same bed, so she must be suffering from insomnia.
Gu Moyang walked towards her slowly.
The handsome face slowly grew larger in her sight. A cool breeze blew over, and pink and white petals fell again and again behind him. But at this moment, Jiang Jibai just wanted to turn around and leave.
"If you can't sleep, I have calming incense and melatonin here." Gu Moyang's voice was low and gentle, mixed in the night wind.
The sound awakened the memories deep in Jiang Jibai's heart.
Maybe it’s because they have had too many firsts and too many beautiful memories.
Those unforgettable memories can always be easily evoked.
Just like the breeze at this moment, it easily ruffles the calm surface of the lake.
Jiang Jibai didn't like this feeling, but those memories seemed to be engraved in her mind forever and she could never forget them.
The more she tried to forget, the more those memories sank into her bones.
"No need." Jiang Jibai said coldly.
Gu Moyang took out a small bag from somewhere and handed it to her. "You're going to be a bridesmaid tomorrow. If you don't sleep tonight, you're going to be in a bad mood tomorrow. Are you sure you want to attend your bestie's wedding in a bad state of mind?"
Jiang Jibai pursed her lips. She really didn't want to look depressed tomorrow and make Lin Shanshan and the others worry.
There is no place to buy these things at the moment.
She glanced at the bag in his hand and said in a businesslike manner, "How much is it? I'll transfer it to you."
