Chapter 108 Panic
Under the warm yellow light, Ji Yanxing looked at her calm face, like a robot without any emotion. It was not difficult to see the meaning in her calm eyes - are you still doing it? If not, let me sleep.
Sure enough, after she opened her eyes and saw him, she said to him, "If you don't do it, I'll go to sleep."
Ji Yanxing's Adam's apple rolled, and his voice was low and deep: "Are you angry?"
"I'm tired and I want to sleep." She still said this.
This means refusing to communicate with him and just wanting to escape by sleeping.
Even quarreling and anger seem unnecessary.
Ji Yanxing stared at her with his eyes fixed on her, his breathing was heavy and rapid, which was particularly noticeable in the deadly silent bedroom.
"I won't let you go," he looked into her eyes and uttered words like an oath, but his tone was not up or down at all, as if he was stating a fact, "You want a divorce, unless I die."
Yu Nian forced herself to keep her energy and hummed to show that she heard him, because if she didn't say anything, he would pinch her chin and force her to respond.
Ji Yanxing's body froze for a moment, and he said more sternly: "Since you think it's useless no matter how good I am to you, let's torture each other to death."
Yu Nian closed his eyes and said, "Yeah."
Ji Yanxing's Adam's apple rolled with difficulty, and for a moment, he wanted to ignore everything and force her to tear off the mask of decadence and fatigue, even if she scolded and bit him like she did just now, or even told him to get out.
As soon as the thought came to his mind, the image of her crying just now flashed through his mind - she cried sadly and desperately. No. He couldn't treat her like this again, couldn't let her cry again.
Ji Yanxing lowered his head and kissed her forehead, his voice becoming gentle again: "Today is your birthday, shall we go out for dinner?" She still said: "I want to sleep."
Ji Yanxing held her in his arms and asked softly, "If you don't want to go out, I'll ask someone to take you to your room, okay?"
Yu Nian closed her eyes, turned over and faced away from him, "I'll sleep for a while."
The warm yellow light fell on her from top to bottom, making her back look even thinner and weaker, as if a layer of loneliness and desolation was shrouding her.
Ji Yanxing stared at her back for an unknown amount of time, and finally went to the bathroom to get a basin of warm water to clean her body.
After cleaning up, he finally didn't order any food and raised his hand to turn off the light.
In the darkness, he hugged her from behind, his chin resting on her shoulder. His wandering and panicked heart finally found the lighthouse. He listened to her shallow and even breathing, and accompanied her as she fell into a deep sleep.
-
The night was dark and Ji Yanxing did not sleep well. He woke up several times. After waking up, he subconsciously opened his eyes to look at the person beside him. The woman was sleeping softly and quietly, and he held her tightly in his arms.
Ji Yanxing breathed a sigh of relief inwardly, hugged her tighter, pushed the hair that stuck to her face behind her ears, and continued to fall asleep holding her.
Ji Yanxing has been very busy during this period. He had originally planned to spend time with her on her birthday and the weekend, but he moved all his work to the days before and worked overtime to complete it. He hasn't had enough sleep for a long time.
What's more, ever since she and he had separated their rooms, he always had trouble sleeping alone. He would always wake up suddenly in the middle of the night and then could never fall asleep again, almost staying awake until dawn.
Sleeping with her in my arms at this moment makes me feel inexplicably at ease.
Ji Yanxing woke up around six o'clock on the first day. He had slept since six or seven o'clock last night. Even though he woke up several times in the middle of the night, he still slept enough. When he woke up, he felt a little dizzy. He lowered his eyes to look at the woman in his arms - she was still sleeping.
Ji Yanxing could easily tell that she was not pretending to be asleep, but was really asleep.
Maybe she was too tired from the business trips recently, so it was normal for her to sleep a little longer. After thinking it through, he got out of bed quietly, washed up, took the car keys and drove to the cafe where he had been yesterday.
In the early morning after the rain, the air is fresh and the breeze brings a hint of coolness.
At this time, except for the breakfast shop, other shops are closed, and it seems particularly quiet and deserted.
After getting off the bus, Ji Yanxing recalled the location of yesterday and looked around inch by inch. He didn't know why he came back to look for it. Maybe it was swept away as garbage by the sanitation workers, or crushed by a speeding car. It probably wouldn't have a good fate. Even if he picked it up intact, she wouldn't want it, but he still wanted to find it.
Passersby couldn't help but stop and watch. They saw a tall, handsome man with his head down, searching for something in an orderly and calm manner.
"Hello," a beautiful woman with bright features stood in front of him and looked at him nervously, "Can I add you on WeChat?"
Ji Yanxing didn't even raise his head, "I'm married."
The woman choked and said boldly: "It's just adding WeChat, I don't know how to..."
Ji Yanxing raised his eyes, lifted his eyelids, and said coldly: "My wife doesn't like me adding the contact information of strange women."
The woman looked at him unwillingly, but Ji Yanxing ignored her and continued looking for the earrings. The woman finally left.
Suddenly, tiny rays of light flashed under the sunlight. Ji Yanxing paused and looked down at the pearl powder that was crushed into countless pieces. His heart sank suddenly, as if an elevator broke down and he suddenly dropped from the top floor. With the centrifugal panic of his heart falling, he continued to fall until he reached the bottomless abyss.
He clenched his hands into fists, then slowly loosened them, repeating this several times. Then Ji Yanxing turned around and walked towards the car.
He smoked a few cigarettes in the car, drove to the breakfast shop, bought her favorite steamed dumplings made with steamed dough, and returned to the hotel at around eight o'clock. He went to the bedroom to call her, but she was still sleeping.
Ji Yanxing frowned. She had slept for more than eleven hours. Sleeping too much was not good for the body. He raised his hand and shook her body, "Nian Nian, get up and eat."
Yu Nian opened her eyes tiredly and looked at him dazedly, "What time is it?"
"It's half past eight."
Yu Nian turned over, pulled up the quilt, and covered his head with it. "I'll sleep a little longer, you can eat by yourself."
Ji Yanxing frowned even deeper, pulled her quilt down, and reached out to touch her forehead. She was so sleepy, was she sick? But the temperature of her forehead was normal, and he touched her forehead with his own, so she should not have a fever.
Yu Nian vented his anger about getting up impatiently, "I'm not hungry and don't want to eat. I have to go to school to eat with my younger brothers and sisters at noon. I'll sleep for another two hours and then I'll get up by myself."
Ji Yanxing pursed his lips: "I'll go with you."
"I want to go by myself."
"no."
"You may not know that if my sister saw that I was unhappy in this marriage, she would never ask me to sacrifice my freedom in exchange for the interests of the Yu family," Yu Nian said calmly, "I can't play the role of a loving couple with you now. If you don't plan to divorce me, you'd better not visit my family as much as possible."
