Chapter 17 Rejection
Yu Nian's heart skipped a beat, and stars twinkled in her eyes: "Next time I ask you to help me eat, you are not allowed to make excuses."
He didn’t know if it was an illusion, but Ji Yanxing felt that Yu Nian who returned to City B was quite different from Yu Nian in City A. She had a bit more of the willfulness and pampering of a child.
He raised his eyebrows and chuckled, "I'll listen to you."
Yu Nian's heart skipped a beat. She took the cake jar and took a bite with the fork he had used. She bought the chocolate flavored one, which was indeed a bit greasy. Even she, who loved desserts, couldn't stand it. But she still ate it all.
It was a very small jar and I only took three or four bites and it was gone.
I threw the box into the trash can. Suddenly, a hand appeared in front of me. A deep and smiling voice came from above my head: "If mom sees us going back hand in hand, she will think that we have cultivated a good relationship."
The sun was glaring, and people were coming and going on the roadside, making a lot of noise.
But at this moment, it was as if the whole world had been muted, the surrounding background automatically blurred, and she could only see him.
His hands were bigger and harder than hers, and his broad palms easily wrapped around her hands completely, but his grip was so strong that it felt like he was rubbing her bones.
Yu Si Ting immediately felt the difference in strength between men and women.
Just as Ji Yanxing said, after returning home, He Manlian saw the two of them coming back hand in hand, her face full of relieved smiles, with a feeling of "the clouds have finally cleared and the moon is seen".
Yu Nian met Ms. He's smiling eyes and her cheeks burned uncontrollably. She quickly pulled her hand away from Ji Yanxing's.
"I have something to say to my mother. I'll go over first."
After closing the door, He Manlian looked her up and down for a long time, and caught a hint of shyness on her face. He Manlian said proudly, "See, I said that walking on the street can easily enhance feelings. The relationship between husband and wife needs to be managed. Life is too long, and a marriage without love is hard to endure. You are off to a good start now, keep it up."
Many people believe that the relationship between husband and wife is a long-term and stable relationship that is protected and bound by law and is an intimate relationship that can be maintained without any effort.
Therefore, couples who would prepare gifts and surprises for each other when they are in love will have legal protection after marriage and no longer need to devote energy to the relationship. The lives before and after marriage are completely different, one in heaven and one in hell.
As a person who has experienced this, He Manlian has also suffered in this regard. She looked at her daughter's gentle eyes and sighed, "I am not as good as you in other aspects, but your father and I have been in love for decades, proving that I know more about love than you. If you have a quarrel with Ji Yanxing in the future, remember to ask for my advice."
Yu Nian was amused by her mother's straightforward words, "I know, Mom."
Returning to City A from City B, Yu Nian's life returned to normal. His one-year internship was over and he was preparing for the assessment to become a regular employee.
Ji Yanxing is busier than her. In the past half month, he only stayed at home for three days and spent the rest of the time on business trips.
Maybe it was because the numerous tasks filled her time, or maybe she had not yet fully adapted to a life with two people. After Ji Yanxing went on a business trip, she would only occasionally think of him during her free time at work, and it was not unbearable.
On Wednesday afternoon, Yu Nian was sorting out interview assessment materials when an intern from the team came over and said, "Sister Nian Nian, someone is looking for you."
Yu Nian was stunned, "Who is it?"
"He didn't say his name, but he looked like a handsome guy," said the intern Xiao Yang, "He's really handsome, and he looks rich."
Yu Nian: "..."
There are many such people in her circle, and Xiao Yang's description left her completely clueless.
Yu Nian stood up and asked, "Where is he?"
"He's in the reception room," Xiao Yang said with some regret, "I asked him to come over but he didn't want to."
Yu Nian brainstormed and thought carefully. There was really no such person in his impression. And if he wanted to meet her, shouldn’t he say hello in advance?
Pushing open the door, a young man was sitting in the empty conference room, twirling a pen out of boredom. When he heard the noise, he looked towards He Xiang at the door.
Yu Nian's eyes flashed with surprise. She searched for his name in her mind, but only remembered his last name "Zhou". She suddenly had an idea: "Mr. Zhou."
Zhou Yang coughed lightly and said, "I happened to be on a business trip to City A, near your office building, so I came to see you by the way."
Zhou Yang and Yu Nian knew each other in college. Yu Nian was a year older than him and could be considered his senior. They hadn't seen each other for five years. She vaguely remembered that this man seemed to have pursued her, but she rejected him.
Zhou Yang was a well-known playboy in school. His roommates said that the number of girlfriends he had dated could fill an entire classroom.
When Zhou Yang started chatting her up at first, Yu Nian thought that the romantic and amorous Master Zhou just wanted to hunt for a beauty. He didn't explicitly say that he liked her, so she naturally couldn't just tell him to get lost. Besides, they were in the same club and had work connections, so it would be bad to make their relationship awkward.
Until one day Zhou Yang said he was serious, Yu Nian told him that she had someone she liked, and she solved the matter quickly. In addition, she went abroad in her sophomore year, and she lost contact with him after that.
The person she thought she would never see again in this life just appeared in front of her. Yu Nian was a little dazed and asked in disbelief: "You? Come to see me?"
Their relationship was far from the level of traveling to visit each other.
Zhou Yang pursed his lips, stared at her and said nothing.
"Did Xiao Haoyuan ask you to come?" Yu Nian guessed.
Zhou Yang is Xiao Haoyuan's childhood friend, and she has a good relationship with Xiao Haoyuan. The only reason Yu Nian could think of why Zhou Yang came to find her was this connection with Xiao Haoyuan.
In his sophomore year, Yu Nian met a junior named Ye Li, who was Xiao Haoyuan's girlfriend. Later, Ye Li and Xiao Haoyuan broke up, and she went abroad to study alone. Xiao Haoyuan was worried about her and asked her for help, so he owed her a favor.
Yu Nian said nervously, "Could something have happened to Ye Li?"
Zhou Yang pursed his lips into a straight line, "It has nothing to do with him. I came to find you on my own."
Yu Nian stared at him for a few seconds, then suddenly pursed her lips and asked, "Did you send the text message that day using Xiao Haoyuan's phone?"
She was originally wondering why Xiao Haoyuan, who was not a gossipy person, would be bored enough to ask about her relationship status. Now it seems that everything makes sense.
Zhou Yang stared at her closely, "Yes, I sent it."
Some words don't need to be clearly explained. What he said was equivalent to admitting that he still had feelings for her.
Yu Nian had a headache. She was not good at dealing with emotional issues. She always kept her distance from people she didn't like, and would simply reject suitors without showing any mercy.
It’s not that she has a strong sense of morals, she just finds it troublesome. She doesn’t need the emotional or other value provided by people she doesn’t like. To her, it’s just harassment.
But Zhou Yang...
