Chapter 116 Secret
Yu Nian moved her lips. Ms. He in their family was the old Buddha. No one dared to offend her. She was thinking about what to say when Ji Yanxing's gentle and smiling voice rang out. "Mom, it's not Nian Nian's problem. It's me—"
He spoke in an orderly manner, and also played a pitiful role. "You and Dad should have heard about the situation of the Ji family. I want to wait until Nian Nian and I are fully prepared before talking about having a child. I have been abroad for the past few years, and our relationship still needs some time to adjust. When we are ready, we will have a baby."
After saying that, he poured a cup of tea for He Manlian and Yu Congye respectively. He Manlian didn't want to persuade them any more. She had heard a little about the Ji family's affairs. It was not realistic to expect a person who grew up in a broken family to desire a child.
"It's up to you." He Manlian compromised.
Skipping the topic of inducing labor, they had a lively meal. After the meal, the family chatted for a while downstairs. Around eight or nine o'clock, Yu Nian and Ji Yanxing went upstairs.
Yu Nian went to take a shower first, while Ji Yanxing smoked on the balcony, the smoke dissipated with the cold wind.
She had a strong sense of contract and promised to accompany him to "dream". She was very good to him during this period, so good to him that Ji Yanxing thought they were back to the past. She was so good to him that he wanted to break the contract, but he despised her and said that she was pretending to be a good person. Now after the New Year, she was gone. No matter how gentlemanly he was in her heart, it was useless.
The bluish-white smoke dissipated with the wind. Ji Yanxing stared at the scarlet on his fingertips, and suddenly something flashed in his mind - a diary.
She had promised him that she would show him her diary.
In her diary, there is a record of the person she likes.
Ji Yanxing put out his cigarette without even thinking about it, then walked towards her study.
She promised him that she would show him, sooner or later, the man she hid in her diary.
It was hard to tell whether he was jealous or envious. Ji Yanxing entered the study, recalled the location of the diary, searched the bookshelf, and casually flipped through a few black notebooks, but none of them was his.
He frowned. Was he hidden by her?
Ji Yanxing searched through all the books on the bookshelf but couldn't find her diary. He looked away and was about to leave when he caught a glimpse of a dark spot on her desk.
His gaze stopped immediately and when he saw the cover of the notebook, he confirmed that it was her diary.
There is a laptop on the desk. Although it is vacation, she is still processing some documents. Sometimes she will take half an hour to work every day. There are some documents next to the computer. This black notebook looks a bit abrupt among them.
Ji Yanxing narrowed his eyes, his brows drooping silently.
Who was it that she would bring up and reminisce about after all these years? Was she planning to find this person after divorcing him?
Ji Yanxing's eyes turned cold. He picked up her diary and opened the cover without hesitation.
The title page is blank, with only the signature date in the lower right corner.
That happened eleven years ago.
Ji Yanxing had no expression on his face and turned the page.
The dark and deep pupils froze for a moment. For a few brief moments, Ji Yanxing felt that his blood had frozen, and then it quickly recovered, with his fingertips trembling slightly.
The first page of the diary is not text, but a sketch.
He looked at the outline drawn with a black pencil. It was the back of a man. His tall and slender figure walked into the rain. The rain splashed on the ground, wetting his sneakers. The black lines outlined his tall figure in different shades - her drawing skills were very good, so good that Ji Yanxing recognized it was himself just by looking at the back.
She wrote at the bottom of the painting: He gave me his umbrella, I'm happy.
Ji Yanxing closed his eyes. It was a scene eleven years ago. He himself couldn’t even remember when he gave her an umbrella.
Before she had time to think about it, the door of the study suddenly opened from the outside. As soon as Yu Nian entered the room, she saw him holding her diary in his hand. Her pupils suddenly dilated and her heart skipped a beat.
The relationship was about to end, and there was no need to bring up this secret secret. She was sorting out materials in the afternoon, and saw the diary, so she took it out and flipped through it. She hadn't read the contents for a long time, and she almost forgot what she had written, but there was no doubt that every page in it was related to him.
He opened the notebook, and no matter which page he read, he could know her secret.
Yu Nian stood at the door at a loss, meeting his deep gaze and clenching her fingers, "You——"
Ji Yanxing stared at her without blinking, suppressing his turbulent emotions, "The person you have a crush on is me?"
When they first got married, she didn't plan to tell him. She didn't want to spoil this equal relationship between husband and wife. She had liked him unilaterally for many years, and she didn't have the courage to confess when he still had no feelings for her.
Later, she mustered up the courage to speak her heart out, even though she was worried about his reaction, she still wanted him to clear up his doubts.
But he said he didn't want to hear it and didn't want to know who the person she liked was.
Later, she planned to wait until their relationship was stable and choose the fourth anniversary, an important and ceremonial moment, to tell him, but there were big problems in their relationship and the matter was left unresolved.
Maybe it was destined that every time she tried to tell him, various problems would arise. When Yu Nian took out her diary in the afternoon to look through it, she thought she had forgotten the contents, but when she looked at the handwriting on it, she realized that she had not forgotten, and she could even recall the mood when she wrote those words.
It was like traveling through time and space, attacking her heart.
Yu Nian originally planned to lock up the diary, just like this marriage, there is no need to deliberately forget it, it will just fade away with time.
Time will dilute everything, and no matter how deep the feelings are, they cannot survive the long years.
Just like when she first fell in love with him, she was really madly in love with him, but then it slowly faded.
Although she still felt unbearable palpitations when she thought about it occasionally, it was only very occasional and did not have much impact on her life.
Reality is not like movies, and she is not a person with strong emotions. A story like Xiao Haoyuan and Ye Li, who are unforgettable and have been together for many years but are still each other's love, will never happen to her. What she wants most is to live her own life well.
The rest will be left to time.
Yu Nian looked at the black notebook in his hand, closed the door, and walked towards him. Seeing that he had only seen the first page, she breathed a sigh of relief and reached out to grab the diary.
Ji Yanxing was caught off guard and was snatched away by her. Seeing that she closed the notebook and put it behind her, he did not try to snatch it away again, but repeated in a deep voice: "The person you have a crush on is me?"
The thought of denial flashed through his mind, but Yu Nian finally admitted, "Yeah."
