Chapter 120: Close to Happiness
Cen Nian wiped away her tears with heartache and fell into a deep sleep.
Before she completely fell into a coma, all she thought about was getting up early the next day to heat up the pot of chicken porridge for Jin Siyang, but she went to bed too late and fell asleep the next day.
Jin Siyang woke up early in the morning and didn't feel any hangover pain, probably because of the hangover soup he had last night. He sat up and the smell brought by his body movements made him frown.
There was a smell of alcohol mixed with the smell of cigarettes from the dining table. He was lying on the bed like this last night, and Cen Nian was sitting next to him. To prove that she didn't mind the smell, she even kissed his face.
As memories came flooding back, Jin Siyang felt his head hurt even more. He couldn't stand the smell at all. He got up, turned on the ventilation system, took off his bed sheets and threw them into the washing machine, then turned around and walked into the bathroom.
After taking a shower, Cen Nian was still asleep. Jin Siyang coughed twice and walked to the kitchen.
When he opened the refrigerator, he saw the pot of chicken porridge. He was stunned for a few seconds and reheated it.
This was done by Cen Nian. Thinking of this, Jin Siyang couldn't hide the smile on his face.
But the smile completely collapsed when he took the first bite.
It had a strong salty taste, and the bottom of the pot was burnt, which combined gave it a mushy and salty taste.
Jin Siyang smiled helplessly, but still finished the bowl of porridge. Then he secretly swore in his heart that he would never let Cen Nian enter the kitchen again.
Cen Nian woke up with a start and looked at her phone. It was almost ten o'clock. It was indeed easy to fall into depravity when she didn't get up early. Over the years, her nature of loving to sleep and being obsessed with money had not changed.
After she hurriedly washed up and walked out of the room, Jin Siyang was sitting casually on the sofa, with his legs crossed, looking carefree and relaxed.
Hearing the noise, Jin Siyang put down his phone: "Awake?"
"Well, are you feeling better? Why didn't you call me?"
"I want you to sleep a little longer." Jin Siyang didn't move, but held out his hand to her: "I ordered food, it should be here soon."
Cen Nian walked towards him and held his hand. Since he had just taken a shower, Jin Siyang naturally pulled him into his arms.
Cen Nian looked up at him and said, "I made shredded chicken porridge last night."
Jin Siyang said naturally: "I'm done eating."
"Really?!" Cen Nian was a little surprised. "Is it really that delicious? I'll make it for you more often in the future, okay? I find cooking quite interesting."
Jin Siyang's expression cracked for a moment: "No, girls can't often go into the kitchen."
"Why?"
"Oil fumes can harm the skin, and it's easy to hurt your hands when cooking." Jin Siyang made up an excuse and never mentioned the taste of the bowl of porridge.
"Is that so?"
"Well, men have thick skin, so it's okay."
Cen Nian touched his chin, which was very smooth. Jin Siyang's throat rolled: "What?"
"Do you have a headache?"
"It doesn't hurt."
Cen Nian nodded: "That's good. Actually, I just want to tell you that no matter what you are like, I like you."
Jin Siyang looked at her deeply with gentle eyes. He hummed hoarsely, "Why do you like me so much?"
There was inquiry, and also a hint of tsundere.
"Maybe it's because I thought you were beautiful when I first saw you."
"Are you attracted by her beauty?" Jin Siyang asked with narrowed eyes.
Cen Nian muttered, "What? It would be better to use love at first sight!"
He followed her words and thought about their first meeting. He sat in the car, feeling a little unhappy about her sudden arrival.
After getting into the car, Cen Nian greeted him cautiously, looking very afraid of him.
But Jin Siyang still felt her secret gaze on him, but at that time he was just too lazy to argue with her.
Thinking of this, he felt a little regretful: "When we first met, you greeted me and I ignored you. Didn't you feel uncomfortable?"
Cen Nian was stunned, her eyes flickering. Jin Siyang didn't remember their first meeting, but it wasn't that he didn't remember it. Perhaps he didn't remember that he had carried her suitcase.
Seeing that she didn't reply for a long time, Jin Siyang hugged her tighter: "I'm sorry for being so mean to you before."
"It's okay. I've troubled you a lot before. Aunt Liu told me that you asked her to help buy that phone. I was afraid you wouldn't mind, so I explained it to you. It's so embarrassing to think about it now."
Jin Siyang recalled that his tone was indeed not very good at that time. On the one hand, he did this and didn't want her to know, and on the other hand, he was angry that she thought Jin Jingming was a good person.
As the holidays approached, Jin Siyang had no intention of returning to Jiang City. Cen Nian didn't go back last year either. She worked as a tutor during every holiday. Last year, she took on several students and had no time to go back.
They had made plans to spend the year here. Cen Nian suddenly felt the reality of the New Year again. She took Jin Siyang's hand and said, "Yaoyao isn't going back this year. She signed up to be behind the scenes at the Spring Festival Gala. We can have New Year's Eve dinner together then."
Jin Siyang had no objection, but Qin Zhouyan wanted to go back, but when he heard that his girlfriend was not going back to Jiang City, he started to make a fuss again: "If you don't go back, I won't go back either!"
Zhu Zhiyao was a little worried: "But your elders at home will be sad. I can't go back because of something."
Qin Zhouyan put his arm around her shoulders and said, "It's okay. They're going to England for the New Year this year. I didn't want to go anyway, but my grandma said, 'I finally have a girlfriend,' and she asked me to spend some time with you. She even asked me to cook you a New Year's Eve dinner!"
To be honest, Zhu Zhiyao was very skeptical about Qin Zhouyan's cooking skills. She thought the boxed lunches in the program crew were better.
Qin Zhouyan's throwing tantrums were unmatched, so after saying this, they finally decided that the four of them would have the New Year's Eve dinner together.
After Qin Zhouyan succeeded, he accompanied his girlfriend to school. On the way, he ran into Liang Sheng. Liang Sheng's smile was a little stiff: "Congratulations, I heard that you two are together."
Qin Zhouyan smiled and said, "Thank you, Senior Liang."
Liang Sheng's tone was a little cold for some reason: "If I remember correctly, you should be from Beijing University, right? I am not your senior."
"Don't mind!" Qin Zhouyan waved his hand carelessly: "I just followed Yaoyao's instructions."
“…”
Liang Sheng asked with a smile: "Student Qin follows Junior Zhiyao every day. Do you have so few courses at Jingda?"
Qin Zhouyan still smiled and said, "I spend all my extracurricular time with my girlfriend. Senior, I have good grades and I get a scholarship every year."
"I see, Zhiyao is quite busy, and your clinging might disrupt her studies."
Qin Zhouyan realized it belatedly, and before he could say anything, Zhu Zhiyao interrupted him with a smile: "Senior, I don't think Qin Zhouyan is disturbing me. At the same time, I can also balance my studies and love life."
Liang Sheng stiffened his neck and said, "That's good."
Qin Zhouyan watched him leave, still feeling happy because of Zhu Zhiyao's words. After he left, he suddenly lowered his head and kissed Zhu Zhiyao on the cheek: "Yaoyao, this is called protecting your husband, right?"
Zhu Zhiyao glared at him in shame and anger, then glanced around. Fortunately, there were not many people around here. It would have been so embarrassing if the teacher had caught them.
"Since there's no one around, give me another kiss?"
"Qin Zhouyan, get out of here right now!"
Qin Zhouyan said rudely, "That won't do. My wife is going to be a big host. What if someone catches you swearing?"
Zhu Zhiyao gritted her teeth and smiled: "It's okay, maybe someone will film the domestic violence."
"Qin Zhouyan, if you have the guts, don't run away!!"
Qin Zhouyan slipped away very quickly: "I have no ability!"
