The next day.
Ji Qingyan went to the company early in the morning. Seeing Ruan Ruan was still asleep, he did not call her, but left her some food as usual.
Ruan Ruan slept until ten o'clock and the first thing she did was to pick up the phone next to her pillow to see if there were any messages.
Ji Qingyan's message was clearly displayed on it. Ruan Ruan clicked on it and saw that it was a message from him reminding her to eat after getting up.
Ruan Ruan replied without thinking, "I'm up and ready to eat."
After sending it, she stood up and prepared to wash up. Just as she stood up, the phone on the table rang. She saw that it was Ji Qingyan calling. She swiped to answer, "Hello."
Ji Qingyan listened to her voice, which sounded like she was acting coquettishly after waking up, and deliberately lowered his voice, saying in a lustful and teasing tone, "Ruanruan, did you just wake up? Did you sleep well?"
Ruanruan felt her ears itchy inexplicably as she listened to his words. "No, I've been awake for quite a while now, and I've already washed up."
"Really? Ruanruan is so powerful."
Ruanruan felt that the more she listened to him talk, the hotter her ears became. She felt a little shy and wanted to hang up the phone, but she also wanted to listen to him talk. The two contradictions were intertwined.
"Hmm?" A cool and sexy voice came out of his throat.
Ruanruan decisively hung up the phone, covering her rapidly beating heart with one hand and stroking her slightly hot cheek with the other.
It's over, it's over. Could she be sick? Why is her heart beating so fast and her face is hot? She thought of using her hands as a small fan to fan herself, but it didn't help much.
She deliberately washed her face with cold water, and the feeling gradually disappeared.
Ruanruan sat at the restaurant table, eating absentmindedly and thinking as she ate. She took out her cell phone to search whether her recent symptoms indicated she was sick.
But the search revealed a lot of replies, which made her even more confused. Ou Xiaoman happened to call her at this time.
.
She turned on the speakerphone and chatted while eating.
"Ruanruan, I don't have a part-time job today, but do you want to come out and play?"
Ruanruan hesitated for a moment, then thought of Ji Qingyan's promise to take her to his grandfather's house for dinner last night. She didn't want to go out anymore. "I have some things to do, so I won't go out today. Let's go out and play next time."
"Okay then." Ou Xiaoman said when she heard her say something happened.
Ruanruan suddenly thought that Ou Xiaoman must know more than her. It was she who helped her find a job, and she told her a lot of things. Ruanruan hesitated for a moment, "Xiaoman..."
"What's wrong?" Ou Xiaoman asked in confusion when she heard Ruanruan calling her.
"I want to ask you a question."
"explain."
"If a person's heartbeat is too fast, his ears are hot, and his face is red and hot, he may be sick." Ruanruan said with some concern.
The more Ou Xiaoman listened, the more she felt something was wrong. The corners of her mouth gradually rose, revealing a lewd aunt's smile, "Xiao Ruanruan, you can't say this to yourself, can you?"
Ruanruan was surprised when she heard it, "How did you know?"
"You are seriously ill, very seriously, and you may need to be treated for the rest of your life." Ou Xiaoman thought that she was simply spoiled, but she didn't expect her to be so naive. It was too funny that she didn't even know how to love.
Ruanruan became even more flustered by what she said. She really was sick. Just when she wanted to continue asking, Ou Xiaoman stopped teasing her and said, "My silly girl, you are lovesick, right? Tell me who you like."
"Like?" Ruanruan pondered her words. Was this like?
"Yeah, whoever caused you to change is the one you like, get it?"
Ruanruan suddenly realized that this was actually love. Love would cause these symptoms. But she also liked Ou Xiaoman, so why didn't she have these symptoms? The spirit lady didn't teach her, only saying that she would know when she was old enough to find a partner. "I like you too, so why don't I have these symptoms?"
Unconsciously, she voiced her doubts. Ou Xiaoman doubled over with laughter when she heard it. "My dear, this kind of liking you is the liking between men and women, do you understand?" Ou Xiaoman thought about how to explain it to her. Then she had an idea. "It's the liking between a partner and a husband, you know. The liking between a man and a woman means you want him to be your husband. You can only have one husband, so this symptom can only occur with your future husband."
After hearing her explanation, Ruanruan understood that she wanted Ji Qingyan to be her husband.
Seeing that she finally understood, Ou Xiaoman began to gossip and ask, "Who do you like? Let me give you some advice." Before Ruanruan could speak, a person flashed through her mind and she raised her voice, "Could it be Ji Qingyan?"
When Ruanruan heard her mention Ji Qingyan's name, she nodded without hesitation and said, "It's him."
"Oh my God, it's that cold-faced devil. Good luck to you, sister. I've heard that there has never been a woman around him, and I haven't heard of any love history. You have a great chance of winning him over." She was a little excited. Her sister was going to be Ji Qingyan's wife. She never thought that a small person like her would have such a close relationship with him one day. This was really amazing.
Ruanruan murmured in dissatisfaction, "He is not a devil, he is very good and gentle."
She hadn't seen how he treated his opponents, which was daunting. There had always been rumors about him, so people didn't dare to mess with him. However, based on her experience of watching romance dramas, such people were more focused and devoted in their relationships, and they might really soar to success.
"Sister, I have confidence in you. If you need help, I will do my best to help you." Ou Xiaoman said, patting her chest.
After hanging up the phone, Ruanruan was still thinking, it turns out that she really likes him, and now all that’s missing is that he likes her too, then they can become husband and wife, get the red book, and sleep in the same bed.
She had to think about how to make him like her too, but from her observation, she almost never blushed or had a rapid heartbeat. How could she make him have these reactions too?
Seeing that she hung up the phone and didn't call back, Ji Qingyan smiled and shook his head, speeding up his work. He wanted to go back to see her as soon as possible, and thought of Ruanruan's promise to go home with him yesterday.
He told his grandfather again, and this time he almost swore to bring the person over. Only then was Grandpa Ji reluctantly relieved, and he started to busy himself in directing the kitchen to cook from the afternoon.
Thinking of something, he went to Ji Qingyan and asked, "Should we prepare more sweet and sour food? Should we pay attention to anything?" Although Mr. Ji's question was rather obscure, Ji Qingyan could immediately tell that there was something behind his words.
"She's not picky about food, but there's something else behind your words. Just say it." Ji Qingyan poured himself a glass of water and took a sip before asking him.
