Chapter 31 Voice Call
Unexpectedly, he turned back halfway and heard these words when he opened the door. He stumbled and almost fell.
"Brother, what's wrong with you?"
"Brother Jingchen, are you okay?"
The two girls were startled by the noise and couldn't help but ask.
"It's okay, just continue with your homework." His voice was still cold. He got the necessary information, turned around and left.
After making sure that he had really left, Ji Hanxi asked Jing Yao, "Did my words scare your brother?"
Jing Yao smiled frivolously, with a hint of disdain in her words: "...Open the screen randomly."
"ah?"
"Nothing, don't worry about him."
If you think about it carefully, Ji Hanxi hadn't seen him for a long time. This was the first time they met since going to college.
"My brother is here, let's go."
"Okay, I'll get the bag."
"Want to go somewhere else? Let my brother take us there. It's too early to go home now."
"Hmm... maybe next time. In a couple of days, I'll change my clothes and you can go to the supermarket with me to take some photos of our daily life."
"OK."
Ji Hanxi followed Jing Yao out and as soon as he opened the door, he saw the black Cayenne at the door.
The man standing next to the car has a temperament that matches the car very well, as clear and cold as a black crystal.
Jing Yao greeted her brother warmly, and Ji Hanxi also greeted him with a smile, maintaining the most basic superficial politeness.
He looked at her and nodded slightly.
When Ji Hanxi got into the car, he opened the door for her and carefully protected her head to avoid it from getting bumped.
"Thank you, Brother Jingchen."
"fine."
Although Ji Hanxi didn't have much contact with Jing Chen, her two families lived close to each other when they were young, and she had heard a lot about him.
After all, he was the legendary child from other families, emotionally stable and with good grades. He looked cold, but was well-mannered and considerate. His actions just now had indeed verified the boasts of others.
As soon as the holiday came, Ji Hanxi became lazy and always wanted to stay in bed, often sleeping until noon.
Today was a rare day as she was woken up by the cat early in the morning. She looked at her phone and felt unable to fall asleep, so she just got up.
While brushing her teeth, she took out her phone and sent a message to Jingyao:
"Baby, are you free today?"
"Let's go take pictures at the supermarket."
Two hours later, the other party replied:
"Okay, okay."
"I just woke up"
"Wait for me for a moment."
After Ji Hanxi finished putting on her makeup and came downstairs, she opened the gate of the yard and walked to the entrance of the community.
"Hanxi, here, here!" Jingyao waved to her happily.
I saw a familiar person next to Jingyao.
Ji Hanxi's originally quickened pace couldn't help but slow down. She hesitated and said, "Why is your brother..." here too?
Jing Yao saw her reservedness, stepped forward, took her arm, and said with a smile: "Don't worry about him, he is the driver today, let's just have fun."
Although she said that, she still felt very uncomfortable. She only wanted to take pictures with her best friend and didn't want to spend time with her best friend's brother.
Besides, big companies shouldn't have annual leave yet, right? How did he have so much time? Was he fired?
At this point, Ji Hanxi couldn't say anything more and could only selectively ignore the other person's existence.
When they arrived at the supermarket, Ji Hanxi took Jing Yao straight to the snack area, where the food packaging was brightly colored, and the photos taken there turned out great.
In order to take good-looking photos, Ji Hanxi specially bought an iPhone SE on Xianyu. This iPhone SE has a retro feel and slightly blurred pixels, coupled with the busy background of the supermarket and her extremely casual outfit, the photos she takes are definitely full of a sense of life.
She squatted down and found a bunch of chocolate chip cookies, one sakura flavored, the other a pancake flavored. The different flavors, colors, and colorful packaging only served to accentuate the simplicity and naturalness of her outfit and makeup.
Holding a bag in one hand, she looked towards the camera and asked with a smile, "Which one is better?" Jingyao recorded her words in the live feed she used to take the photo.
After taking hundreds of consecutive shots with the same pose and lines, she changed her moves.
This time, she held the shopping cart with one hand and pointed to the oversized bag of potato chips placed high on the shelf with the other. She turned slightly sideways to look at the camera and said with a deliberately coquettish tone, "I want that."
I took hundreds of photos in the same way, and then changed a few poses.
The biggest feature of this kind of life-style photos is that they are close to daily life, which makes people who see them feel that they are happening around them, and they unconsciously put themselves into the picture, as if they are shopping in the supermarket with her.
This set of photos was not sent to Crush, but was posted on WeChat Moments, visible only to him.
Copywriting: "Admit it, you are fascinated by me too", is a line from Yuan Xiangqin in the Taiwanese drama "It Started with a Kiss".
As soon as he finished sending it, Ji Hanxi felt so embarrassed that his scalp went numb.
She was conflicted in her mind, wanting to delete it but not wanting to.
After all, she came here today to take photos of everyday life just to be able to post this copy. If she deleted it, all her hard work would be in vain. But if she didn't delete it, she would feel inexplicably awkward. Before posting it, she had imagined it would be so provocative and alluring, but why didn't she feel that way after posting it... She felt like crying.
How would the other person feel when they see this set of photos and text? Would they find it funny or cute?
Ji Hanxi hesitated for a moment, but ultimately didn't delete it. She told herself, "There's no need to delete it. This post isn't specifically directed at anyone, and it's not a confession. Why would I delete it?" Besides, many people use this post online, so it's normal for someone like her with such a strong internet sense to use it.
Posting and then deleting it seems extremely deliberate.
After posting on her Moments, she turned off her phone and put it in her bag. No matter whether the other party commented or liked her post, she didn't want to look at it for the time being. She would wait until she calmed down before looking at it.
When she went out to eat with her best friend, she finally dared to take out her cell phone to check it.
The other party did not like her post or comment on that circle of friends.
Instead, send her a direct message:
"I want to go to the supermarket"
Obviously, he said this after seeing that circle of friends.
"Then let's go shopping."
“You have a supermarket there too.”
"no the same"
"Why is it different?"
She said this intentionally.
Supermarkets are everywhere, of course, but the difference is the person who accompanies you in shopping. She understood the deep meaning from the first sentence he sent. He didn't want to go shopping at all, he wanted to go shopping with her.
But she didn't say it explicitly, she wanted the other person to say it himself.
"You know."
This is how he replied.
"I have no idea"
She wanted to force him to admit it himself.
At this moment, my best friend Jingyao's voice came over, "Hey! Eat your meal! Why are you so engrossed in your phone?"
Ji Hanxi looked up, suddenly came to his senses, picked up the chopsticks and wanted to eat something, but suddenly found that his plate was already piled with barbecue.
"this……"
"My brother just baked it. You were looking at your phone the whole time and didn't eat it."
Ji Hanxi turned to look at Jing Chen opposite him. The other party had his eyebrows lowered and his expression could not be seen clearly.
"Thank you, Brother Jingchen. You guys can eat it yourselves. It's too much. I can't finish it."
"It's okay, you're too thin, eat more." He picked up another piece of barbecue for her and asked slowly, "Are you in love?"
"No." Ji Hanxi answered truthfully, "I'm secretly in love."
After saying this, she clearly saw that the other party's movements were momentarily sluggish.
"He's so lucky."
He said this in a calm voice.
"Brother Jingchen will meet him in the future too."
After dinner, Ji Hanxi returned home and opened WeChat, only to find that the other party had not replied since that sentence.
After taking a shower, she changed into her nightgown and stared at her phone in a daze.
I'm a little confused about what the other person is thinking. It's so hard to guess what's going on. The dumb, straight guys I've met before weren't like this, so why is this one so hard to understand?
Her kitten meowed and ran to her side. She suddenly had an idea. She lifted up her nightgown, held the kitten on her lap, and took a picture with her phone raised high.
"Photo jpg."
"look"
"kitten"
In this photo, the slender, white legs take up 2/3, and the kitten only takes up 1/3. The point of her posting this was not the cat, but lust and arousal.
After sending this, she felt a little shy. She had never sent such a sexy picture to any man before. Crush was the first one.
"I see."
"It's a kitten."
The other party replied.
As for which kitten he was referring to, it is unknown.
Ji Hanxi felt her face getting a little hot, so she went to the refrigerator and took out a bottle of chilled sake. This kind of sake has a very low alcohol content and tastes sweet like a drink.
But she wasn't good at drinking, so even with this low-alcohol drink, she still felt a little tipsy. This half-drunk, half-awake state made her much bolder.
She used her phone's camera as a mirror and realized how beautiful she looked when she was tipsy. She couldn't help but hold the sake bottle against her face, imitating a Korean idol, snapping hundreds of photos and sending them all to Crush.
Yes, hundreds of them.
She didn't even filter them; she just sent them all. After sending them, she regretted it and withdrew them one by one. Help... What the hell is she doing?
"I can't drink much."
"I get drunk after just a little drink"
She explained this, suggesting the behavior was caused by intoxication.
There was silence on the other side, and all the messages she sent fell on deaf ears. She suddenly became angry and complained:
"You're not replying to me again?"
"No"
"Something happened just now."
After she finished complaining, his message came.
"What could be the matter?"
"That's right."
"Do you play games?"
"Let's play games together."
There was silence for a while before the other party slowly replied:
"Do you want to hear my voice?"
Ji Hanxi stared at the screen in a daze. Oh my god! How did he guess what she was thinking? She didn't want to play games at all. She just wanted to connect with him and hear his voice.
But she felt that it was not appropriate to directly say that she wanted to connect via microphone, so she simply used the game as an excuse. Since he had guessed her thoughts, she didn't need to pretend anymore.
"Yes"
"I want to hear your voice"
"I've already sent you a voice message."
“You haven’t sent it to me yet.”
Perhaps it was the alcohol that emboldened her, she now dared to speak out directly those secret requests she had made before.
"My throat has been hurt lately."
"I can't make a sound"
"ah?"
"Are you okay?"
"Is it serious?"
"Nothing serious"
"But I can't make you hear my voice."
"It's fine"
Although Ji Hanxi said that it was okay, she was still a little depressed. She had thought that she could be closer to Crush, but she didn't expect that things would not go as she wished.
At this time, the other party sent a message:
"I want to hear your voice"
"Let's make a WeChat call."
"But your voice..."
"I can type without making any sound"
"Alright"
Although it was a bit regrettable not being able to hear Crush's voice, the act of calling him meant that their relationship had taken a step closer.
A voice call came in from the other end, and Ji Hanxi hesitated before answering. He could hear the rustling of fabric and the other person's breathing.
Ji Hanxi didn't know what to say. He had prepared a lot of words before the call, but he couldn't say a word after the call was connected.
Instead, he sent her a guiding message:
"I went to the supermarket today."
"Are you happy?"
"What did you buy?"
After he asked the question, Ji Hanxi finally started talking about her experience today. Maybe it was because she had been drinking, but she suddenly became very talkative, and she was humming and moaning, as if she was complaining, or even more like she was acting coquettishly.
As we were talking, we suddenly heard a loud noise from the other side, like a quilt being lifted up and feet walking away on the carpet.
After a while, he came back.
"What were you doing?"
He replied with one hand:
"Take the paper"
The voice call was suddenly interrupted at this moment. I don’t know if it was an accidental touch or the other party hung up intentionally.
"What are you doing with the paper?"
"What are you doing?" she texted him.
“…”
"You can guess."
There was silence on the other end for a long time, after typing and deleting, he sent a string of ellipsis and an incomprehensible sentence.
"I can't guess."
Ji Hanxi was actually a little annoyed by this ambiguous response. What did she mean by "she could guess"? What could she guess? How could she know what he was going to do with the paper? She couldn't read his mind or understand his thoughts. What could a boy do with a piece of paper?
Hmm… Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck her… He was holding a piece of paper… Could it be that? What else could a guy do with paper? And his breathing was already a little unsteady when he answered her call, so what else could he do with paper afterward? Could it really be what she thought… But she hadn't used any seductive tactics, so why was he so irresistible? She wondered if she was drunk, causing her thoughts to blurt out. Should she ask him indirectly if he was up to something?
"We'll call later."
"May I"
Ji Hanxi stared at the reply, stunned. Then, slowly, slowly, her entire face turned red. She was pretty sure what he was doing, but he… he… how could he be so shameless? Didn't he know what shame was? How could he do such a thing? Shameless!
However, after drinking, she was even more shameless, hahahaha, and said unyieldingly:
"Can't"
"Hit now."
"I want to hear the sound"
"good"
As this word appeared, a voice call popped up on the other end. A crisp ringtone rang out, and she screamed in fright, almost throwing the phone away.
How can it be serious? She was just talking casually!
