Chapter 80 Greed
Song Nuannuan had her hair tied up in a bun and was wearing a beige sweater. The sunlight shone on her body. Looking at her figure, I suddenly realized that she seemed to have really grown up.
From such a small little girl, she grew into a young girl.
Thinking of how she had taken care of him meticulously these days, his heart inevitably warmed up. He couldn't help but think that if she became his wife, it wouldn't be bad either...
etc!
Ji Yang was suddenly startled and realized what a sinful and terrible thought he had just had.
He actually wants to marry Song Nuannuan?
Ji Yang himself felt how incredible his idea was.
Although Song Nuannuan has indeed grown up, she is still the little sister that he watched grow up.
No matter what, Ji Yang felt that his previous thought was really beastly.
He held his forehead and thought.
Ji Yang, Ji Yang, no matter how hungry you are, you can't think about Song Nuannuan!
Not to mention that she is the girl who grew up in his eyes, the most important thing is that she is Song Ci's younger sister.
Song Ci loves her like his own sweetheart. Let alone being together with her, just knowing what I just thought would make him grab a kitchen knife and peel off his skin.
Song Nuannuan turned around, and Ji Yang quickly closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep.
Song Nuannuan slowly came to his side, and seeing that most of his body was exposed, she pulled the quilt up to cover him.
Looking at him sleeping soundly, Song Nuannuan lost her mind for a moment, and couldn't help but close her eyes and kissed him lightly on the forehead.
But she soon regained consciousness, her face flushed, and she ran out of the ward.
Ji Yang opened his eyes only when he heard the sound of the door closing.
He raised his hand and placed it over his heart, a puzzled look on his face as he murmured, "Why is my heart beating so fast?"
It was just a kiss.
It wasn't the first time he'd been kissed by a woman, and it wasn't even a kiss to him.
But Ji Yang was puzzled. The first time he kissed a woman, his heart had never been so fast...
Chi Jinjin returned to her job and Nan Xuqiu also returned to school. Since he could not go to school as a day student, he could only stay at home on Saturdays and weekends and study at school for the rest of the time.
Three weeks later, Chi Jinjin and Nan Xuqiu were playing in a private room with Song Ci Ji Yang.
Tang Shi hasn't returned from home yet.
Song Ci was curled up in a corner of the sofa, calling Tang Shi and saying, "Hey, Tang Shi, when will you come back? I miss you, come back to me quickly."
Tang Shi on the phone cursed, "I'm almost back, hurry up, hurry up! Damn it, you're always urging me, even those attending funerals are not as diligent as this."
Song Ci quickly and silently lowered the volume of her phone, then turned around and said to Chi Jinjin and the others, "Tang Shi said she missed me very much and will be back soon..."
Chi Jinjin looked at Nan Xuqiu, and they both smiled knowingly.
Ji Yang looked at Song Ci. To be honest, Song Ci and Song Nuannuan looked quite similar, especially now that Song Nuannuan had grown up.
So when he saw Song Ci's face, Ji Yang's mind was full of Song Nuannuan.
"Hey, Lao Ji, why are you looking at me so much tonight? Is there something on my face?" Song Ci asked as soon as he noticed it.
"No." Ji Yang said with disdain, took a sip of wine, and thought, how come they have the same face, but it's so likable on Song Nuannuan, but not on Song Ci...
Ji Yang sat down next to him and asked tentatively, "By the way, would you mind having a brother-in-law who is much older than your sister in the future?"
"How big is it?" Song Ci asked.
"Uh..." Ji Yang said, "About the same size as me..."
Song Ci snorted coldly and said, "Twist my head off!"
Ji Yang, “…”
Song Ci sighed.
Nan Xuqiu asked, "What's wrong? Are you worried?"
Song Ci said, "I wanted to marry Tang Shi, but my parents were like crazy. They refused to agree to our marriage and held on to my household registration booklet."
"Why don't you agree?" Ji Yang asked.
Song Ci replied, "They think Tang Shi is the daughter of a small capitalist and not a lady of noble birth, so they insist that I marry a lady of noble birth whom they approve of."
Song Ci rubbed his hair irritably, took a sip of wine and said, "Forget it, I'll break into my mom's safe someday and steal the household registration booklet. Then I'll get the certificate and see what else they can do."
Nan Xuqiu asked, "Do you think that my uncle and aunt, who have been in the workplace of the imperial court for so long, would be afraid of a threat like yours?"
"I..." Song Ci was discouraged again, saying, "I'm at a loss. I've said everything I need to say, but those two just won't listen."
"You like ladies from wealthy families, so your thinking is quite traditional." Ji Yang thought about it, and suddenly seemed to think of something and said, "Lao Nan, I will help you with this matter. I guarantee that they will hand over the household registration book to you with both hands when the time comes."
"What can you do?" Song Ci asked curiously.
Ji Yang smiled mysteriously and said, "The hermit has his own clever plan."
Song Ci said, "If you can do this for me, I will give you anything you want unconditionally in the future."
"Deal." Ji Yang clinked the wine glass in his hand.
After having enough fun, several people left the private room.
But suddenly a girl came over and stood in front of Nan Xuqiu and Chi Jinjin.
"Brother Xuqiu, I'm back."
The girl took off her black mask, and the person in front of her was actually Lin Shuya!
Chi Jinjin and Song Ci were suddenly shocked.
For a moment, the surroundings seemed to freeze in an instant.
"Uh...Song Ci, let's go back quickly." Ji Yang grabbed Song Ci with one hand and pulled him away, leaving Chi Jinjin and Nan Xuqiu behind.
Nan Xuqiu did not respond and was about to leave holding Chi Jinjin's hand.
Lin Shuya stopped him and said, "Can we talk?"
Nan Xuqiu looked down at his watch and said calmly, "Sorry, it's too late now. I need to take my girlfriend home. She has to go to work tomorrow."
"Just chat for a moment." Lin Shuya pleaded.
Nan Xuqiu saw that she refused to give way and said, "Then you can speak now."
"It's not convenient here, and I hope it's just the two of us. No outsiders should be here." Lin Shuya glanced at Chi Jinjin who was being held by Nan Xuqiu.
Chi Jinjin knew she was talking about herself and opened her mouth to speak.
Nan Xuqiu spoke before her, "Then don't say anything. Everyone here is an outsider, except the one next to me."
Lin Shuya was speechless for a moment, with surprise, shock, and jealousy in her eyes.
She looked at Chi Jinjin, wanting to say something but stopping herself.
Chi Jinjin didn't want to stay like this anymore, so she pulled her hand out of Nan Xuqiu's.
Nan Xuqiu looked at her.
Chi Jinjin gave him a faint smile and said, "You guys can chat slowly. I'll wait for you in the car."
After saying that, she walked past Lin Shuya and walked out alone.
Nan Xuqiu looked at Chi Jinjin's leaving figure with complicated eyes.
Chi Jinjin sat down in the car, lowered his head and sighed.
But less than two minutes later, Nan Xuqiu came back.
He got in the car.
Chi Jinjin asked doubtfully, "You, you guys are done talking?"
"Yeah." Nan Xuqiu replied, lowering his head to fasten his seat belt.
"So fast..." Chi Jinjin was a little surprised.
"Then how long do you want me to talk to her?" Nan Xuqiu looked at her and asked.
"I..." Chi Jinjin didn't know what to say, and she felt that Nan Xuqiu seemed a little angry.
"Nan Xuqiu, are you...are you angry?" Chi Jinjin asked puzzledly.
"Yes." Nan Xuqiu said directly without any concealment.
Chi Jinjin was puzzled, "Why are you angry?"
"Don't you feel uncomfortable when I'm alone with her?" Nan Xuqiu asked back.
Chi Jinjin lowered her eyes, her fingers clenching the hem of her skirt as she said, "So what if you feel uncomfortable? After all, it's a matter between the two of you. You've been together since junior high school. Apart from that, you spent three years in high school and five years abroad, a total of eight years. That was a time that belonged only to you and her, a time I had no right to interfere with. If it weren't for her change of heart, you... wouldn't have returned to China, and you wouldn't have been with me. You two should have been together forever..."
As she spoke, she couldn't help but tears welled up in her eyes.
For eight years, he belonged to another person, a full eight years.
Although she didn't blame anyone, she still felt sad when she thought about it.
She lowered her head and tears fell on the back of her hand.
"Jinjin," Nan Xuqiu said, "Even if she didn't change her mind, we wouldn't have lasted. During those five years abroad, we had very little time alone. She was mostly in the practice room or on stage, and in the evenings she attended various cocktail parties. I didn't like them and didn't want to participate. We spent less than two hours together a day. Then, in the third year, that incident happened to her, and we broke up completely. I left Korea and stayed alone in France for two years."
It was also during those two years of living in France that he gradually saw many things clearly and understood what kind of feelings he had for Chi Jinjin.
In the past, he approached Chi Jinjin with the purpose of helping Song Ci, but in the process of approaching, he realized that he seemed to have developed a special feeling for Chi Jinjin.
But he didn't understand what kind of feeling this was. He had never had any real female friends around him. Although there were girls around him, they were just junior students, classmates, and senior students to him.
So he mistakenly thought that this special feeling was friendship, the friendship between him and girls.
He thought that he treated Chi Jinjin like Zhong Ziqi treated Yu Boya, a friend and confidant.
But the two years in France made him see his heart clearly. What he felt for Chi Jinjin was never friendship, but love, a love that he thought he knew well.
"I'm going back to China because of you." Nan Xuqiu said.
If it weren't for Chi Jinjin, he thought, he would have settled in France and would never come back.
Chi Jinjin looked up and looked at him in surprise. She didn't expect that he and Lin Shuya had broken up for so many years.
"Then, then why, when you were drunk that time, you said... let me help you..." Chi Jinjin hesitated to speak.
Nan Xuqiu replied, "Because I don't have confidence..."
Chi Jinjin doesn't understand.
Nan Xuqiu raised his hand to wipe away the tears that rolled down her face and said, "I was in France and saw the recruitment video of you and Gao Yi. I also saw his love for you. I'm not sure if you still have me in your heart, or if you've already made up your mind for someone else..."
After all, five years is indeed too long.
During the five years he was away, she was always surrounded by that man. He had no confidence at all that Chi Jinjin still liked him.
So he tested her and said those words deliberately. When he saw a hint of sadness and anger towards him in her eyes, he knew that he still had a chance.
So he was like a drowning man, clinging tightly to the floating grass, trying to hold on tightly to the red thread that had not yet broken.
"Jinjin, do you believe it? From the beginning to the end, I have only liked you." Nan Xuqiu's eyes were wet.
"Like before? Then now..."
"In love."
Nan Xuqiu leaned over and kissed her lips. The moment he closed his eyes, a tear slid down his face and fell on the girl's dress.
All things are fleeting, Chi Jinjin is the fireworks of the world, and it is also his impartial greed.
He was very grateful to God that after he had walked such a long way, when he looked back, she was still there and had not been taken away.
For Nan Xuqiu, during the five years abroad, three were spent in thinking and two in reminiscing.
In this era when love flies away with the wind, she became the person he loved for a long, long time...
Lin Shuya was in the distance, watching Nan Xuqiu kissing Chi Jinjin. The kiss was so gentle and affectionate.
Only then did she realize that Nan Xuqiu would also take the initiative to kiss someone.
She used to think he was a germaphobe and that was why she didn't like him. That's why he never kissed her once over the years and she only dared to kiss his face once.
But now it seems that she was wrong.
Lin Shuya turned her head away, no longer looking, and clenched her palms, but tears fell from her eyes.
"No, why did you pull me away?" Song Ci was puzzled, and then scolded, "That woman Lin Shuya actually dared to hang around in front of us. Only Lao Nan has a good temper. If any woman dares to cheat on me, I will beat her up every time I see her!"
"Okay, let's go. We really shouldn't get involved in matters of the heart." Ji Yang said helplessly.
But suddenly the smile on Ji Yang's face froze.
"What's wrong?" Song Ci followed his gaze and actually saw Tang Shi in the coffee shop across the street!
She was with a man, they were talking and laughing, and the man even kissed her on the cheek before leaving.
Song Ci's face suddenly turned bad, and he didn't care whether it was a traffic light or not, he just walked across.
"Oh my god, Song Ci!" Ji Yang called him.
But Song Ci turned a deaf ear and walked away with his fists clenched.
Ji Yang was afraid of being hit by a car, so he didn't dare to chase after it.
Tang Shi felt someone coming to his side. He turned around and saw that it was Song Ci. He was shocked.
First, he suddenly appeared, and second, his face was so dark and scary.
"Song Ci?" Tang Shi was surprised.
Song Ci asked directly, "Who was that man just now?"
"Ah? What man?" Tang Shi looked confused.
Song Ci pulled her up from the chair and walked out.
"Song Ci, what's wrong with you? My hand hurts!" Tang Shi cursed, his wrist was almost broken by Song Ci.
Song Ci dragged her to a deserted corner before letting her go. He said angrily, "Didn't you say you were still at home? Why are you here?"
"I..." Tang Shi's eyes showed guilt.
Seeing this, Song Ci was even more furious and said bluntly, "I just saw you drinking coffee with a man, and he even kissed you. Do you know that you have a boyfriend?"
Song Ci was so angry that he swung his fist at her, but he immediately stopped and punched the wall next to Tang Shi.
"I didn't tell you I was back because I wanted to give you a surprise. And what man?" Tang Shi said speechlessly, "That's my childhood friend, a girl who's already a mother. I happened to run into her here and caught up with her. I'm really impressed by you."
Tang Shi took his hand that was hammering against the wall to see if he was injured.
