When Xu Yu came out after paying the bill, he didn't see Ji Shengsheng.
His eyes quickly searched his field of vision before he spotted Ji Shengsheng crouching in the corner, waving at him.
"uncomfortable?"
"My stomach hurts a little." Ji Shengsheng slowly stood up. "I'm fine now."
"Can you walk to the door?"
"I'm fine."
Xu Yu helped her to the mall entrance, and only then did she realize why Xu Yu had asked her that question earlier.
He wanted to carry her back.
Looking at Xu Yu's back, Ji Shengsheng hesitated for a moment before reaching out to wrap her arms around his neck.
This was the first time Xu Yu had carried her on his back.
Ji Shengsheng rubbed his nose against Xu Yu's hair, and not satisfied, he rubbed his ears and neck as well.
"like?"
"Yes!" Ji Shengsheng nodded vigorously. "It feels so wonderful."
"I feel like living this life was so worthwhile!"
...What kind of description is this? Xu Yu chuckled to himself.
Xu Yu carried her with ease, but seemed to be deliberately not walking very fast.
"Are you tired?" Ji Shengsheng whispered in Xu Yu's earlobe.
"Not tired."
"...You do so much every day, how can you not be tired?"
Although Xu Yu rarely mentioned it to her, she knew from Cheng Yu that even during the Spring Festival, they were still busy with work from time to time.
Xu Yu might sleep even less than her.
"Not tired. Doing it makes you feel less tired."
Ji Shengsheng: "...Eh?"
Xu Yu stopped under a Chinese tallow tree by the roadside, and Ji Shengsheng's head just touched the leaves.
"Spring is almost here, Sheng Sheng." Xu Yu didn't move, letting her take a closer look at the signs of spring.
"Really...!"
A leaf fell on Xu Yu's head. Ji Shengsheng picked it up and carefully put it in his pocket.
What is it?
“He’s the guy who’s particularly fond of you,” Ji Shengsheng rested his chin on Xu Yu’s neck, “just like me.”
Ji Shengsheng's voice, temperature, and breath traveled from his ears to every nerve ending.
Xu Yu heard himself ask, "Like you what?"
"Love you as much as I do."
Ji Shengsheng expresses her love in a simple and direct way, just like the rest of her personality.
Xu Yu was stunned.
Why do you love me?
"There could be many reasons, but I don't want to think about them."
As long as the feeling of love is real, she doesn't want to delve into the reasons; she just wants to love.
Ji Shengsheng honestly described her feelings: "When I see you, I feel that I love you very much."
"Sometimes I feel like I love you too much. I always want to tell you, otherwise it's hard to keep it inside."
After thinking about it carefully, Ji Shengsheng couldn't help but say, "If I always say this to you, don't you think I'm being superficial?"
"Won't."
He wanted to hear it.
"That's good." Ji Shengsheng kissed Xu Yu's cheek. "Then I can love you even more."
Aren't you going to ask me?
Xu Yu didn't understand why Ji Shengsheng wouldn't always try to elicit expressions of love like he did.
"I won't ask." Ji Shengsheng felt Xu Yu slowly putting her down, and she fell to the ground along his arm. "I don't want to ask."
For a moment, Xu Yu felt he could no longer hear the sound of the leaves rustling in the wind around him.
He could only look at Ji Shengsheng.
Her hair was ruffled by the wind, and Xu Yu raised his hand to stroke it, letting the fluttering strands dance on his fingertips.
Not knowing why he was silent, Ji Shengsheng continued, "Xu Yu, I've liked you ever since you stopped loving me."
“So, no matter what you think, I will love you.” Ji Shengsheng gently touched Xu Yu’s hand against her cheek. “And I’m certain that you love me.”
"What are you thinking about?" Xu Yu remained silent, so Ji Shengsheng couldn't help but ask.
"Thinking..."
Xu Yu showed what he was thinking through his actions.
This was the first time they had ever kissed on an empty street.
Very different.
Ji Shengsheng felt a sense of unbridled and complete possession.
...
On the way back hand in hand, Xu Yu remained silent.
When they got back to their hotel room, Ji Shengsheng went to pack her things, and Xu Yu hugged her from behind.
Ji Shengsheng knew that he had been giving Ji Shengsheng time and space to deal with his silence.
"What's wrong?" Ji Shengsheng raised her hand to stroke his hair.
"Thank you."
“…Thank you for loving me?” Ji Shengsheng turned to face Xu Yu and cupped his face in her hands.
"Thank you." Xu Yu kissed her fingers.
Thank you for loving him unconditionally.
“Xu Yu…”
"Um?"
"...You broke your promise."
Realizing what she was saying, Xu Yu sat her down on the table with her in his arms: "When?"
Ji Shengsheng thought Xu Yu had really forgotten, but didn't want to say it directly.
"Just now in the mall, at the entrance of the fitting room..."
"What's wrong?" Seeing her anxious and embarrassed expression, Xu Yu continued to tease her.
"that is……"
"Um?"
"...You really forgot?"
"I haven't forgotten."
Ji Shengsheng's cardigan was placed on the back of the chair, followed by his shirt, underwear... Xu Yu proved with his actions that he had not forgotten.
"Was it here that hurt just now?" Xu Yu carefully transferred warmth to his palm.
The pain had subsided, so she couldn't remember exactly where it was.
But... since Xu Yu asked her.
Ji Shengsheng winked at Xu Yu: "...a little lower, a little lower still."
...
...
At midnight, Xu Yu hugged her from behind.
Xu Yu initially thought she was asleep, but when she felt her moving around, she opened her eyes: "Are you feeling unwell?"
"No..." Ji Shengsheng hugged Xu Yu's arm, "I have insomnia."
I'm so tired, but I can't fall asleep.
"Want to chat?" Xu Yu invited her.
"OK!"
Feeling her slip away from his arms, Xu Yu could only forcefully pull her back and wrap his arms around her.
Knowing that Xu Yu didn't want her to move around, Ji Shengsheng obediently stopped moving.
Her back was so sore; she really couldn't afford to provoke Xu Yu anymore.
Ji Shengsheng took out her phone and glanced at the time, realizing she hadn't checked WeChat. Xu Lin had sent her several affectionate emojis after accepting her friend request.
Although it was late, Ji Shengsheng replied immediately after seeing the message.
Despite having an audience, she does not consider herself a so-called opinion leader.
She doesn't want to direct, guide, or instruct others on the direction of their lives, nor does she want to share her experiences, principles, or knowledge, nor does she want to be someone who needs others to fight for her.
I will always hold a paintbrush, partly because I love painting, and partly because I want to use my artwork as a medium to express my love for others.
So after thinking about it for a long time, I decided to only share the kitten I drew today while slacking off.
"Thinking about Xu Lin?"
"How do you know everything?" Ji Shengsheng seized the opportunity to face Xu Yu, "Did you get inside my belly?"
"yes."
Ji Shengsheng: "..."
She was just joking, meaning that Xu Yu was like a tapeworm in her stomach, knowing everything she was thinking.
However, the look in Xu Yu's eyes clearly showed that she was not so innocent.
"What are you thinking about saying to her?" Seeing that she was really tired, Xu Yu simply put his arm around her. "You have concerns, so you didn't say anything?"
“Yes!” Ji Shengsheng nodded. “It’s a blessing to be liked. I wanted to tell her to just like my work and not to speak up for me, but then I felt like that would be denying her feelings and efforts.”
She's not one to get caught up in internal conflicts. Once she made that judgment, she stopped wavering on the matter.
"Sheng Sheng, I understand what she did." I even support her.
"Have you seen those comments too?" Ji Shengsheng asked, shocked.
"Hmm." In fact, many times he already knew about things as soon as they started to develop.
You didn't secretly follow my Weibo side account, did you?
Ji Shengsheng was just joking casually, but unexpectedly Xu Yu actually nodded.
"Ah...you don't watch it every day, do you?"
"yes."
Sometimes, Ji Shengsheng would share pictures of scenery from her travels, accompanied by humorous captions.
So Xu Yu knew that she had traveled abroad with Xing Xing.
As for why I know...
When her fans asked her if she was traveling with her boyfriend, she replied, "My childhood friend."
"I had no idea..."
Ji Shengsheng leaned closer to Xu Yu's chest, trying to ingratiate herself: "...Can I see your account?"
"cannot."
"Oh, please."
"Just empty words?" Xu Yu rarely showed such a hard heart towards her. "Ji Shengsheng, you have no sincerity."
"I'll go back to Lucheng and stay with you for a while!"
"This is something you promised me before," Xu Yu said, displeased. "Have you forgotten?"
“No…” Ji Shengsheng racked her brains, “I’ll cook you a big meal when we get back to Lucheng!”
"Oh..." Xu Yu was dissatisfied, "Making you cook doesn't make me feel happy."
He didn't need Ji Shengsheng to do that for him. Her hands were only good for painting.
"I can't force you to take out your phone and show it to me..."
She really couldn't believe it.
"You can give it a try," Xu Yu advised her.
Ji Shengsheng: "..."
"How could I dare..."
Despite saying that, Ji Shengsheng immediately rolled over, reached over Xu Yu's shoulder, and tried to grab her phone.
As a result, Xu Yu grabbed his wrist.
“It failed…” Ji Shengsheng slumped against Xu Yu in despair.
"I'm not happy..." Ji Shengsheng pretended to cry.
But it had no effect whatsoever.
Xu Yu simply looked at her.
"Xu Yu, could you show me the right path...?"
Xu Yu released her wrist and gestured for her to sit up.
Ji Shengsheng: "...You."
"Would you like to come up and try it yourself?"
...
...
Although she had diligently studied comic book techniques, putting them into practice was not as easy as she had imagined.
...The person who suffered even more was probably Xu Yu.
Because she not only couldn't find the place at all, but she also kept searching very hard.
For Xu Yu, working too hard was tantamount to a form of torture that he could not have.
She was given a long time to figure things out, but eventually her patience ran out, and Xu Yu took the initiative.
Finally, everything was over, and Ji Shengsheng got Xu Yu's phone as she wished.
I finally saw his Weibo account.
There is no content.
There isn't even a profile picture.
The nickname is a string of numbers.
Followers: "2", Followers: "0".
"How could you bully me like this..." Ji Shengsheng cried silently.
If we hadn't done this, she probably would have fallen asleep. With her heart beating so fast right now, it's easy for her to have insomnia until dawn.
"Aren't you going to click and take a look?"
"Isn't it me who's following this?"
One large size and one small size, that's all.
“It’s you.”
Even if it's her, there's nothing to see.
After all, no one knows her Weibo homepage better than herself.
Xu Yu held her finger and tapped the screen.
Then Ji Shengsheng saw—
He followed her for 1501 days.
It turns out that while she was liking Xu Yu, Xu Yu was also paying attention to her.
