Chapter 74 Irrelevant
Yu Nian closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his eyes were stained with red. "Are you going to notify me on the day you leave?"
When Ji Yanxing's gaze met her red eyes, his heart suddenly shrank, as if pricked by a needle, and he felt a slight tingling sensation in his heart.
He didn't expect her reaction to be so big.
Going to Australia was something that was planned long ago within the group. He had thought about telling her before, but she would definitely be sad after knowing it, so Ji Yanxing never told her. He didn't hide it from her on purpose...
Ji Yanxing leaned over, held her in his arms, and coaxed her in a low voice: "I promise to come back at least twice a month, and we will talk on the phone every night, okay?"
His voice was low and gentle, coaxing her gently, his fingers gently stroking her back to soothe her emotions.
Yu Nian put her hand against his chest and said, "I don't know whether you thought I would be unhappy if I knew this so you kept it from me until the last moment, or whether in your heart, this is your business alone."
Ji Yanxing's body shook slightly, his pupils suddenly tightened, and a hint of emotion flashed across his eyes very quickly.
Yu Nian looked at him steadily and said, "I prefer the latter."
Yu Nian knew the situation of the Ji family. He had his ambitions and didn't want to stop there. Of course, she understood and supported him. She would definitely not hinder him. Why couldn't he tell her in advance? Even if this was a decision they made when they had no feelings for each other, after living together for a few months, he thought they were no different from a normal couple. He had countless opportunities to tell her, but he chose not to say anything. And with his ability, it was enough to do it perfectly.
When we have an argument, we tend to exaggerate the problem.
Since he kept this matter a secret from her, next time if there is something else that he doesn't want her to know, he will probably choose to hide it from her.
Yu Nian didn't want to think about the worse. She knew that the living environment he grew up in made him have a stronger sense of boundaries than ordinary people. She wouldn't ask about some private matters that he didn't want to talk about, and things that didn't touch his bottom line. But no matter how many excuses she made to persuade herself to be rational, she still couldn't completely ignore it - she was the last one to know.
On a deeper level, she was still excluded from his world.
After she finished speaking, the living room suddenly became quiet. The light fell on the two of them from top to bottom, and they could see each other's expressions clearly. She saw a slight tremor in his eyes. She pursed her lips, suppressed her inner emotions, and said calmly: "If there is a similar thing in the future, I hope you will tell me in advance, I will go take a shower."
After saying that, Yu Nian ignored him and went upstairs to take her clothes and went to the bathroom.
Ji Yanxing did not stop her. He looked at her back, his eyes gradually becoming darker.
He walked to the balcony of the bedroom, feeling a little restless. He wanted to light a cigarette, so he took out his lighter, but his fingers suddenly stopped. She forbade him to smoke in the bedroom.
Ji Yanxing put the lighter away, squinted at the closed bathroom door, and her sad expression just now appeared in her mind. Her eyes were red and misty, but she didn't cry. She has always been like this, and rarely cries except in bed.
She had rarely been sad in the past few months. He and she got along very well, just like a normal loving couple. He could get along well with her. But this time, he made her eyes red again. Ji Yanxing's Adam's apple rolled and his eyes looked towards the bathroom door.
Yu Nian didn't stay in the bathroom for long, just like usual. As soon as she opened the bathroom door, she saw the man standing at the door. She was not surprised at all. She went to find the hair dryer while drying her hair and raised her legs to walk around him.
Ji Yanxing looked down at her, glimpsed her blistered white fingers, and then looked up at her eyes. She probably didn't cry, her eyes weren't red, and her face didn't show much emotion. He pursed his lips, said nothing, pulled her arm to the bedside, and turned on the hair dryer to blow her hair.
Yu Nian did not struggle. She sat quietly on the bed and let him do what he wanted.
When her hair was about 70% to 80% dry, Ji Yanxing turned off the blow dryer, pushed her hair to one side, put his chin on her other shoulder, and sprayed his warm breath on her neck. Yu Nian's eyes moved, and a low voice sounded in her ears, the voice was gentle and had a low soothing meaning.
"Don't be mad at me, okay?"
The air suddenly became quiet.
Yu Nian didn't say anything, maintaining this posture, quietly looking towards the balcony.
Ji Yanxing put his chin against her face, and his voice became even lighter and lower: "I didn't tell you about this in advance, not because I was going to hide it from you, but because I thought you would be unhappy if you knew about this, and I didn't want to make you unhappy in advance.
Yu Nian turned around and asked him calmly: "Are you worried that I will be angry?"
"Well, I don't like you being unhappy."
Her heart curled up without warning, and countless sour liquids gushed out in an instant, and her eyes were blank and dazed.
I don't like you being unhappy.
Yu Nian closed his eyes and said softly: "Go take a shower."
Ji Yanxing didn't move, he lowered his eyes to look into her light-colored eyes, and just as he was about to say something else, Yu Nian reached out and pressed her fingers on his lips. She looked up at him, "Don't tell me that if I'm not happy, I won't go. I don't need you to make any sacrifices for me. This is a burden to me."
"I am indeed unhappy. After all, no one wants to be the last one to know," Yu Nian said frankly. "I can probably understand what you are thinking. I know you didn't hide it from me on purpose. You have your own considerations. But I still hope that if something like this happens again, I will hear it from you instead of letting others tell me. This will make me feel that your important decision has nothing to do with me."
Ji Yanxing stared at her expression, was silent for a few seconds, then reached out and hugged her in his arms. His heart softened a lot, and his Adam's apple rolled up and down gently. "Okay."
After a long time, Ji Yanxing thought about this scene and suddenly realized that she had given him many chances and had always tolerated him. Although she had never said she loved him, it was undeniable that he knew better than anyone that no one would love him more than Yu Nian. If he could do things according to her ideas instead of the logic he had developed over the years, would things be completely different afterwards? Unfortunately, there is no if.
And he can only make the best of this mistake.
A week passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was the day for Ji Yanxing to go abroad.
Yu Nian worked from home almost all this week. Except for court sessions and client meetings, she handled all other matters online.
Leave more time for Ji Yanxing.
Ji Yanxing was the same. He stayed at home most of the time this week. They didn't spend the whole day in bed. He cooked and she sat on the glass platform watching him. Occasionally, she would give him random instructions, but he would give her some retorts. He prepared all three meals a day.
Of course, there is also a lot of things that couples do.
