sister in law?
The doorbell rang. Liu Jianchun, who had just finished reviewing the interview manuscript, reluctantly went to open the door. When he opened it, a food cart was blocking the door. The waiter pushing the cart said, "Mr. Jian ordered rose lychee and Americano."
Liu Jianchun looked at the clock on the wall to make sure he remembered the time correctly. It was already evening.
This girl didn't order some dinner to fill her stomach, but sent coffee and dessert. Was she planning to treat her as a main meal by giving her afternoon tea?
She said thank you with some disgust, and without waiting for the waiter to speak, she took the cake and coffee and pushed the door shut with her elbow.
Before closing the door, the waiter seemed to say something, but she didn't hear it clearly, and the other party didn't ask a second time. She thought it shouldn't be something important.
She returned to the study with snacks and coffee, turned on the computer again, sipped her coffee and clicked on the video.
These are some of Jian Zhaonan’s team matches in the past three months.
It's not that she didn't watch the game, nor did she deliberately avoid him. It's just that she thought she knew his playing style very well, and his current skills were just continued improvement based on the past.
But she was wrong.
The Jian Zhaonan in the video was in full swing and extremely aggressive, completely different from the calculating him in her memory. After just a few minutes of watching, she was completely attracted.
Someone was watching so intently that before he knew it, it was already nine o'clock in the evening.
Jian Zhaonan turned down an evening party just to spend more time with her. Unexpectedly, he didn't get to have a candlelight dinner and ended up waiting in the garage for two hours.
He sat in the driver's seat, closed his eyes and listened to music. He looked relaxed, but he was already annoyed in his heart.
In addition to asking the waiter to pass on the message, he also sent her a message an hour ago asking her what she wanted to eat in the evening. He wanted to find a way out, but the other party has not responded until now.
He didn't believe that modern people had the habit of not checking their phones. If she didn't reply, it could only be that she was deliberately taking revenge.
In revenge, he had blocked her phone number out of spite.
To get back at him for toying with her over and over again these past two days...
A message alert suddenly rang. He picked up the phone and saw that it was from Liu Jianchun.
She said, "I was just reviewing your game and wasn't looking at my phone. Where are we going to eat? Anywhere is fine."
He was still angry the last second, but when he saw her message, his anger disappeared.
Jian Zhaonan complained about where to eat at this hour, but he got off the car honestly.
He used the spare room card to open the door and searched the living room and bedroom but couldn't find Liu Jianchun until he saw her walking out of the bathroom in a wet skirt.
White is inherently see-through, and it becomes even more so when wet, so that even the originally non-distinctive grey underwear underneath becomes visible.
Jian Zhaonan's eyes only glanced at her accidentally, and he subconsciously avoided her chest: "Why are your clothes wet?"
"I just spilled my coffee, and while it was still wet, I washed my skirt."
"You'll catch a cold easily if you wear wet clothes. Change them first. I'll ask someone to dry them."
Liu Jianchun hesitated: "I didn't bring any clothes."
"You can wear the bathrobe in the bathroom."
No matter how much Liu Jianchun struggled, she couldn't get over the discomfort of wearing a wet skirt and feeling cold and wet. In the end, she decided to listen to his advice.
After watching her leave, Jian Zhaonan walked towards the study.
Sure enough, there was still some unprocessed coffee on the table. Fortunately, the computer was not splashed with it. He clicked the space bar twice to wake up the screen and saw the chat page that she had not yet logged out.
The text in the input box seems to be related to him: Xiaonan is really awesome now.
A warmth spread across his chest, rising from his chest to his head.
He wanted to take a look at what they had talked about before, but the doorbell rang suddenly and he had to close the computer.
He thought it was the waiter coming to deliver the food, but when he opened the door, he saw Qin Tianyi wearing sunglasses.
"I'm here to see my friend off and come visit you on the way."
He took off the sunglasses that Qin Tianyi had on his nose, hung them on his collar, and backed him away from the door: "It's not convenient today, let's talk about it tomorrow."
Jian Zhaonan's words were very thought-provoking, making Qin Tianyi curious: "No? Who is in your room? Why is it inconvenient?"
As he spoke, Liu Jianchun, wearing a bathrobe, walked into the living room while folding the dress in his hands. Qin Tian was stunned and stunned for a long time before punching him in the chest: "You are so good."
With the situation developing to this point, being misunderstood was inevitable. Jian Zhaonan didn't intend to explain anything, but just looked at Qin Tianyi with a helpless look.
Jian Zhaonan likes Liu Jianchun. This is an open secret in the men's dormitory. Qin Tian knew it early on, so the first time he heard that he and her had reunited, he jokingly instigated him to pursue her.
But jokes aside, when it comes to getting a room, there are still more things to consider than just talking, especially for a virgin like Jian Zhaonan who is in his twenties and has never had sex.
Qin Tianyi said in disbelief: "Are you serious?"
Jian Zhaonan still didn't say anything.
Liu Jianchun looked at the two people standing at the door with a confused look on his face. After looking carefully for a long time, he recognized that the person standing opposite Jian Zhaonan was Qin Tianyi.
She suddenly remembered the "Mr. Qin" mentioned by Jian Zhaonan and the front desk clerk at the hotel yesterday.
Mr. Qin, Qin Tianyi...could they be the same person?
Only then did she come to her senses.
"Aren't you two tired of standing by the door chatting?" Liu Jianchun knew she was wearing a bathrobe, but shyly avoiding it would only arouse suspicion. She simply walked forward and stuffed her skirt into Jian Zhaonan's hands. "Ask the laundry room to hurry up. This is the only skirt I have, and it was stained with coffee just now. I can't leave until it's clean."
Qin Tianyi felt awkward because he felt like he was just part of their play, but it looked like their relationship wasn't that serious yet. He turned to look at Jian Zhaonan, but Jian Zhaonan just kept blinking at him, looking helpless.
Qin Tianyi completely understood this time. It turned out that he wanted to take action but hadn't eaten it yet.
He understood and turned to Liu Jianchun: "Sister-in-law, you have to be gentle when you order your husband around."
Liu Jianchun glanced at him coldly and said, "You're overthinking it. I'm here to help him. He came in not much earlier than you." As she spoke, she pointed at the shoes on Jian Zhaonan's feet and said, "He hasn't had time to change his shoes or coat yet."
Qin Tianyi pursed his lips and didn't dare to continue talking nonsense.
The feeling of oppression from the predecessors has been engraved in his blood even after the past five or six years. Even someone as unruly as Qin Tianyi would not dare to act rashly in front of her after being scolded by her.
The waiter who delivered the food finally arrived. In order to make way for him, Jian Zhaonan invited Qin Tianyi into the house for dinner.
He originally wanted to be alone with Liu Jianchun, but Qin Tianyi's call of "sister-in-law" made him change his mind. It seemed that there was nothing wrong with having someone to liven up the atmosphere.
The three of them sat down at the dining table. Qin Tianyi looked at the waiter who was setting the dishes and then remembered the purpose of his visit to Jian Zhaonan.
After the people left, he asked, "What happened between you and Boss Wang?"
Jian Zhaonan unbuttoned his cuffs, turned up his shirt sleeves a few times, and crossed his arms. "If he dared to expose you, I certainly dare to expose him too. Comparing leaking restaurant order information to the boss of Fengtai keeping a mistress, which do you think is more shocking?"
"Damn it! Are you deliberately going against Boss Wang? Are you not planning on cooperating with their club anymore?"
Jian Zhaonan picked up a piece of spring bamboo shoots and put it in his mouth. After chewing and swallowing it, he said, "He was the one who wanted to make this matter bigger. This can only be considered as self-defense."
"I clearly reminded you yesterday that Boss Wang came with a girl and asked you not to disturb him..."
The more Liu Jianchun listened, the more he felt something was wrong. He couldn't help but interrupt, "Qin Tianyi, what do you mean by that? Does that mean that Fatty Wang has a mistress, and everyone should avoid suspicion? I was wrong to break into his private room, but if he dared to bring his mistress out, he should have been prepared to be seen. After all, a restaurant is a public space."
Qin Tianyi couldn't convince her, so he turned to Jian Zhaonan for help, but he lowered his head to eat and pretended not to see.
Thinking of his ex-boyfriend who had cheated on him, Liu Jianchun's anger surged: "Do you men often cover up for each other? If someone cheats on you, everyone else will cover it up for him?"
Qin Tianyi quickly tried to make amends: "No, absolutely not! I can't say anything about others, but our Brother Nan is definitely not that kind of person. If you want to talk to him, he's definitely not like that guy named Xie, who's been messing around with other women and cheating on you."
She was suddenly speechless.
In order to prevent her ex-boyfriend from getting jealous, she threw the birthday gift Jian Zhaonan gave her into the trash can without even looking at it. However, Jian Zhaonan saw this and blocked her phone number that night.
The relationship that she had protected with all her heart finally broke down, and Jian Zhaonan, who had been hurt by her, was now sitting opposite her.
Qin Tianyi was also afraid of offending her, so he took the initiative to change the subject: "Sister Jianchun, how could Boss Wang owe you money?"
When talking about this matter, Liu Jianchun's attitude was not as arrogant as before, and he was even a little embarrassed.
In their circle, winning the championship is king. Even if they step out of the sports circle and do things that are neither for fame nor for profit, it goes against human nature.
And this is the kind of work Liu Jianchun is doing.
Four years ago, she was injured in a car accident and forced to leave the court. After retiring, she opened this gym. Initially, she attracted many students, many from wealthy families, who came to her because of her skills, having once made it to the first team. However, a few children from less fortunate families had excellent skills and were more resilient. So, she simply provided them with food and lodging. Gradually, the number of children she took in increased, and the gym began to struggle to make ends meet.
Over the years, she helped many children make it into the provincial team, but she also spent all her savings, which is why she is in such an embarrassing situation now.
Liu Jianchun lowered his head and poked the bamboo shoots in the bowl with his chopsticks: "Why ask about the debt? It's just that the money that should have been paid was not paid."
Qin Tianyi smiled and said, "Sister, you've really changed. You used to lend money to people and forget about it, but now you're chasing them to collect the debt. Or are you only generous when you lend money to our Brother Nan?"
"If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten." She put down her chopsticks and turned to look at Jian Zhaonan. "When do you plan to pay back the money you borrowed from me?"
Jian Zhaonan's face was emotionless: "I paid it off five years ago."
Looking at Jian Zhaonan's determined expression, she felt as if she had already developed the early symptoms of Alzheimer's. She had no recollection of this incident at all. She pulled out her phone to check the bills, and sure enough, she saw a transfer from five years ago, totaling 60,000 yuan, with the following note...
I like you.
