Suddenly hugged by Jiang Ning, Yan Keyi didn't know what was wrong with her, but she immediately reached out and hugged Jiang Ning back.
"What's wrong with my sister?"
Yan Keyi raised her head slightly, trying to judge Jiang Ning's emotions from her expression.
"I'm sorry, Yiyi, I've made you suffer."
Jiang Ning's last wish was for Yan Keyi to be unhappy. She should have accompanied Yan Keyi to registration. If someone had been with her, the teacher wouldn't have treated Yan Keyi like an easy target.
Yan Keyi didn't know at first that Jiang Ning was unhappy because of this, but when she heard the heartache in Jiang Ning's tone, she felt that she was okay too.
"I'm fine, sister. I don't care what other people think."
Yan Keyi raised her hand and patted Jiang Ning's head. It was actually a bit difficult for her to reach Jiang Ning's head given her height, but since Jiang Ning was right in front of her, it was effortless.
Jiang Ning felt she was being unreasonable, even though Yan Keyi had clearly been wronged, and now Yan Keyi was the one comforting her. She wasn't like this before.
Yan Keyi was deeply moved when she saw the usually proud and strong person showing such an expression because of her.
"Sister, could you please lower yourself a little?"
Yan Keyi stated her request. Although Jiang Ning did not know what Yan Keyi wanted to do, he still lowered himself so that his gaze was level with Yan Keyi's.
Just as Jiang Ning lowered his head, Yan Keyi used the hand on Jiang Ning's shoulder for leverage, gently tiptoed, and planted a kiss on Jiang Ning's forehead.
"Sister, you've been so good to me. I'm so lucky to have met you. You don't need to feel guilty."
The gentle touch on her forehead made Jiang Ning realize what Yan Keyi had done, and she immediately distanced herself. She looked at Yan Keyi with concern, wondering if she hadn't hidden her feelings well enough.
Yan Keyi is a very smart person, and she also knows Jiang Ning well enough, so she easily guessed Jiang Ning's thoughts.
"Sister, I don't know what you're worried about, but I can tell you for sure that my feelings for you are the same as your feelings for me. But no matter what, I will wait for you."
Yan Keyi initially had a very thick wall around her heart, but through her interactions with Jiang Ning, she gradually broke down that wall and completely accepted Jiang Ning's presence.
Yan Keyi could sense that Jiang Ning definitely liked her.
She didn't want to have any regrets, so she chose to tell everyone how she felt.
Yan Keyi could also sense that Jiang Ning had a very thick wall around her heart, so thick that even she herself seemed unaware of it.
However, she was willing to wait for her. Anyway, she would always be by Jiang Ning's side. With her sticking to Jiang Ning, wouldn't she be able to tell immediately if there were any wild bees? She would definitely chase them away right away!
"Yiyi, I'm so sorry..."
Yan Keyi's expression clearly indicated that she already knew about her feelings. On one hand, she was worried that Yan Keyi might not be able to distinguish between gratitude and affection, so she didn't dare to express herself too much. On the other hand, she was worried that even if Yan Keyi really liked her, could they really go the distance? If she wasn't sure she could give Yan Keyi a lifetime of happiness and love, she was still hesitant to take that step.
She knew she couldn't sort out her feelings right now, so she couldn't agree. She had let Yan Keyi down, so subconsciously she wanted to apologize.
Jiang Ning's eyes held surprise, joy, worry, and fear, all of which Yan Keyi took in.
Before Jiang Ning could finish speaking, Yan Keyi had already covered his mouth with her hand.
"I don't want to hear my sister apologize. My sister will never make a mistake with me."
Yan Keyi's eyes were bright, and in those bright eyes, Jiang Ning was completely captivated by her. Just like from the very beginning, Jiang Ning had been drawn to Yan Keyi's crystal-clear eyes.
"Sister, what brings you here? Shouldn't you be at work at this hour?"
Seeing that Jiang Ning's emotions had gradually stabilized, Yan Keyi changed the subject and diverted Jiang Ning's attention.
"I saw the message right after the morning meeting, which left me feeling really angry. Seeing the message made me even angrier. By the time I realized what was happening, I was already at school."
Perhaps because Jiang Ning had been suspended for too long, people in other departments had a lot of complaints about her, so they complained to Yang Xingsui during the morning meeting.
Jiang Ning's absence from the company doesn't mean she's completely unaware of its affairs. Other departments' mistakes are being blamed on the design department. She'd already fought hard at the morning meeting, finally resolving her work issues, only to witness this incident – it infuriated her.
Yan Keyi was quite happy listening to Jiang Ning tell her these things.
If I had to describe this feeling in one sentence, it would be like a high-class beauty becoming tainted by the mundane world.
Yan Keyi had witnessed the difference in how Jiang Ning treated her compared to others. Although this differential treatment made her quite happy—it wasn't that the Jiang Ning of the past was bad, but while beautiful, she was too cold—Yan Keyi always felt that Jiang Ning might leave at any moment.
But now, even when Jiang Ning isn't in front of her, he can still have a variety of vivid expressions, which Yan Keyi finds very appealing.
"Sister, you really should smile more. Has anyone ever told you that you look beautiful when you smile?"
Jiang Ning was also taken aback when he heard Yan Keyi's words.
After getting to know Yan Keyi, she did seem to smile more often than before.
"Okay, I'll listen to what Yiyi says."
Ring ring—
Hearing the bell ring, Jiang Ning realized that they were still in school. She could skip that unlucky woman's class, but she still had to attend other teachers' classes.
Yan Keyi also realized this.
"Alright, sister, I need to go back to the classroom to prepare for the next lesson. You should go back to work too."
Yan Keyi stood up and was about to walk towards the classroom when Jiang Ning stopped her.
"Duh, this is the direction."
Jiang Ning sighed helplessly, escorted Yan Keyi back to the classroom, and then prepared to leave.
Just as Jiang Ning was about to reach the corner where Yan Keyi was out of sight, she looked back and saw Yan Keyi watching her leave.
Seeing her turn around, Jiang Ning waved to her, signaling Yan Keyi to go back, before leaving.
As soon as Yan Keyi returned to her seat, she saw Ni Jia looking at her with a gossipy expression.
