Chapter 47
Lin Jiu rested on the sofa for a few seconds, tugged at his sweater, ran to the small sofa and sat down to look at his mobile phone screen.
It was Wen Min who called just now, and he hung up more than ten seconds ago.
Lin Jiu leaned on the armrest of the sofa, opened WeChat and sent a message to Wen Min.
Jiubujiu: I’m sorry, I was busy with something just now and missed the call.
Wen Min was probably looking at his phone and replied immediately.
Beautiful lady: Only someone as good-tempered as me can forgive you.
Beautiful lady: [tsundere face].
Lin Jiu curled his lips and quickly responded with a wave of flattery: Our beautiful girl is kind-hearted, good-looking, and has all the advantages in one. She is so generous!
Beautiful lady: [beautiful lady blushes].
Jiubujiu: What are your plans with Ji Xin tonight?
Beautiful lady: I dragged him to the private room to sing karaoke, planning to sing all night long. I originally wanted you to listen to my beautiful voice, but the result was... well, let's not talk about it.
Beautiful Woman: What about you? What are your plans for tonight with Chen Miao? Or are you two just going to have your own time?
Lin Jiu glanced at Chen Miao who was sitting on the sofa watching TV, and replied: We are watching the New Year's Eve party and will watch the fireworks later.
Beautiful lady: How sweet!
Beautiful lady: Okay, I’ll record a clip for you later so you can listen to my beautiful singing voice.
When Lin Jiu saw this, he didn't reply to the message. He was going to think about it and praise Wen Min after she sent the audio.
A few minutes later, Wen Min sent an audio message.
After clicking and putting it next to his ear, Lin Jiu fell silent and swiped back and forth to read the short chat history between the two.
Lin Jiu had never heard Wen Min sing before. He originally thought she had some talent, but he didn't expect her to be so tone-deaf.
Wen Min said shamelessly that she wanted his admiration, but she didn't even know how to praise him.
In the last few seconds of the audio, she vaguely heard Ji Xin's cold voice. He said, "Change the song. This song is not good."
It seemed that Ji Xin was very clear about Wen Min's singing voice. Thinking that the two of them would sing until dawn, Lin Jiu couldn't help but light a candle for Ji Xin.
As expected, you should pamper your own girlfriend.
She was just about to bite the bullet and organize some words to reply when Wen Min sent her another video.
In the video, Ji Xin was sitting and singing, with the dim light shining on him. He was wearing a white sweater, and his appearance was still as good as ever, and his charm remained the same.
The most important thing is that he is a great singer, every sentence is in tune, his voice is a bit cold, but it has a unique flavor.
Lin Jiu's mouth smiled unconsciously, she knew what to do.
Jiubujiu: Wow! You two sing amazingly well, you're such a perfect match.
Jiubujiu: I never thought Ji Xin had this skill!
Beautiful lady: Hahaha… isn’t that awesome!
Beautiful Woman: We keep this secret very secret and don't easily show it to outsiders. You are the only one lucky enough to hear it.
Lin Jiu was about to reply to the message when his phone was snatched away.
Chen Miao stood in front of her, put his phone behind him, looked down at her and said, "How long has it been? Are you still not finished chatting?"
Lin Jiu raised his head and said, "It will be soon. We will finish our chat. Send me another message."
Chen Miao snorted, bent down and put her on the sofa in a princess-carrying position, then sat beside her and put his arms around her before returning the phone to her. "I'll give you five minutes."
Being stared at by Chen Miao, Lin Jiu began to feel uncomfortable chatting. She clicked on it and saw that Wen Min had sent her another message.
Beautiful girl: Where is that person? Why is he gone?
Looking at this message, Lin Jiu didn't know how to respond and was a little hesitant.
It's impossible to tell the truth and say: Chen Miao took her cell phone away.
"Don't know what to do?" Chen Miao asked in her ear.
Lin Jiu gritted his teeth and turned back to glare at him.
"I'll be back." Chen Miao took the phone, turned on the camera mode, took a group photo and sent it over.
In the photo, she was wearing a light brown sweater and leaning against Chen Miao's chest. Their faces were very close, and she had a slender hand on her shoulder.
Lin Jiu watched the picture being sent without stopping it.
After all, this photo can answer all the questions.
After seeing this photo, Wen Min immediately sent a lot of screaming emoticons.
Beautiful lady: Now I feel that I am in love with you.
Within a minute, Wen Min also sent a photo with Ji Xin. She was wearing a black skirt and sitting on Ji Xin's lap, her arms around his neck, kissing him on the side of his cheek, looking very proud.
Lin Jiu when he saw the photo: "......"
Have they reached the stage where they start showing affection to each other?
Silently taking the phone back from Chen Miao, Lin Jiu lowered his head and replied: I hope you have fun.
Beautiful lady: Let’s have fun together~[ribbon].
After locking the screen, Lin Jiu placed his phone on the sofa, freeing his hands to remove the large doll hanging from his body. "Watch TV, sit back."
Unexpectedly, the person next to him hugged him tighter and said forcefully, "Just watch it like this."
Lin Jiu stared intently at the joyful congratulatory scene on the TV screen and rarely complained, "Your head is pressing on my shoulders and hurting me."
"Then lean on me." Then, Chen Miao artificially adjusted her posture.
Although she still had one hand on her waist, at least she was able to sit upright and lean her butt against the sofa. She felt much more comfortable.
After watching a show together, Chen Miao asked, "You were a loner for most of high school. Why did you become friends with Wen Min later? Is there something different about her?"
After thinking for a few seconds, Lin Jiu said: "...She is a good person."
"That's not the main reason," Chen Miao said confidently. He knew Lin Jiu well. She'd been a loner since high school, slow to warm up, and not particularly proactive. Therefore, she wouldn't be willing to establish a bond simply because someone had a good personality. He felt there must be other reasons.
"Maybe... I think we're destined to be together." Lin Jiu looked at Chen Miao and said, "Before I sat at the same table with her, she left a deep impression on me twice."
Chen Miao turned his head and looked at Lin Jiu without saying anything.
When it comes to storytelling, Lin Jiu felt she needed to find a better posture. So, she took a square pillow from the sofa and placed it behind her. She then took her hands off her waist and hugged them in front of her, resting her head on Chen Miao's shoulder.
After getting ready, she spent five minutes telling Chen Miao about her two encounters with Wen Min.
"That's how it is...and Wen Min and I became deskmates. We really have a deep bond." Lin Jiu is a person who values fate very much.
"......" Chen Miao turned sideways and touched Lin Jiu's head, "Are you tired?"
"What?" She didn't understand what Chen Miao meant and looked up at him.
"Is it tiring to carry so many things by yourself?"
After hearing this, Lin Jiu was stunned. He didn't expect that his focus would be on this. His heart was filled with sadness and he was speechless for a moment.
After a while, she suddenly smiled and said, "Before reaching the dorm, I was dragging my luggage along for a long time, and I felt very tired during that time. But after arriving at the dorm, I breathed a sigh of relief. Looking back at the road ahead, I realized it wasn't that bad. Instead, I didn't feel tired at all. I just felt great."
Chen Miao held her head to his chest and stroked her head up and down, "Ajiu has always been great."
Obviously this is just a very ordinary sentence.
However, the next second after the words fell, it was like a switch was turned on. Lin Jiu's eyes turned red and tears almost burst out.
She didn't want to show her vulnerable side in front of Chen Miao.
She raised her head and put her chin on his shoulder, not wanting him to see her expression.
She closed her lips tightly, trying her best to suppress the sob in her throat. Just as two tears ran down her face, she took a deep breath and controlled her turbulent emotions.
After a minute, she slowly said, "You've missed the point."
Chen Miao chuckled and said, "You are the focus of my attention."
After a few seconds of silence, she deliberately changed the subject, "After saying so much, you should know that Wen Min and I are really destined to be together."
"The bond between us is even deeper," said Chen Miao.
“…” If you say so, then so be it.
After leaning on his shoulder for a few seconds, she said, "Let me go. I need to go to the bathroom."
After loosening her hands, she trotted to the mirror in her shoes.
In the mirror, she saw a little redness around her eyes, which hadn't completely faded. She washed her face with water, and it looked much better.
After a few minutes, she went out and leaned against Chen Miao on the sofa to watch TV for a while.
It was almost 9 o'clock.
Lin Jiuli immediately pulled Chen Miao to the bedroom, where the view was the best.
Standing in front of the French window, Lin Jiu looked at the skyscrapers connected by the river. The colorful internal lights made the buildings form a beautiful landscape. Facing these, she could truly feel the prosperity of Jinhai.
She turned her head to look at Chen Miao and exclaimed, "The night view from here is so beautiful!"
"If you want to see it in the future, I can come with you," said Chen Miao.
Lin Jiu responded: "Okay."
She glanced down at the time on her phone. It was three minutes to the hour. She suggested to Chen Miao, "Let's take a photo by the window."
"Okay." Chen Miao said, "I'll take the photo."
While Chen Miao was taking out his cell phone from his pocket, Lin Jiu adjusted his posture, standing straight with his back to the window.
"Hold my hand." Chen Miao moved his arm to signal.
Lin Jiu immediately clasped his hands together, leaned his whole body on his shoulders, and looked at the camera not far away: "I'm ready."
Chen Miao looked at her smiling brightly in the camera, tilted his head to kiss her hair, and pressed the shutter button.
"...You haven't even shown your face." Lin Jiu looked down at the photo again and again, quite dissatisfied. "No, we have to take a new one."
At Lin Jiu's strong request, Chen Miao had to look at the camera seriously with her, leaving many photos from different angles.
After taking the photos, Lin Jiu deliberately turned off the lights in the room and left two night lights on at the bedside.
She pulled Chen Miao to sit on the carpet beside the bed. The two of them leaned their backs against the bed, snuggling together and waiting for the fireworks to arrive.
Lin Jiu looked out the window and said, "I haven't seen what the fireworks in the city look like yet."
Chen Miao: "I grew up in the city, but I rarely watched fireworks. I only saw them on TV."
Lin Jiu turned to look at him and asked in confusion, "Don't you guys watch fireworks at home?"
"During Chinese New Year, my dad often took my mom to the suburbs to watch fireworks, leaving me with my grandparents. He said that children would be scared by fireworks... In reality, he just wanted to spend some time alone with my mom. But I didn't understand what was so great about fireworks anyway, so I played chess with Chen Ze."
“…”
After a moment's silence, she discovered a blind spot.
"You don't like watching fireworks, so why didn't you tell me about this trip when I arranged it?"
"...Adults always do things for a reason."
"?"
"It's boring to watch fireworks alone, but I think it'll be fun to watch them with you."
As soon as he finished speaking, the fireworks outside exploded, blooming into bright and dazzling flowers.
Lin Jiu placed his hands on his knees, opened his eyes wide, and watched attentively the fireworks in the sky fade away and rise again, over and over again, enjoying it so much.
The first round of fireworks ends.
She told Chen Miao, "There are so many different types of fireworks here, and they look really novel. But the fireworks in the village are also great. The mountain village is mostly silent at night, but as soon as one family sets off fireworks, the whole village can hear the commotion. Then, every household starts showing off their own fireworks, like a relay race. It feels like one person's call to action gets a whole bunch of responses, and it's very lively."
After she finished speaking, she didn't hear Chen Miao say anything. She looked at him in confusion, only to find that he was looking at her and smiling.
"Why are you smiling at me?" She slapped his thigh, which was stretched out on the carpet, in annoyance.
Chen Miao's hand on her shoulder tightened instantly, and his free hand grabbed the small hand on her leg and gently stroked it. He used his tall nose to push the hair away from her ear and said, "I like to hear you talk about your world."
The breath beside his ear was so hot that even Lin Jiu's heart became hot.
She quickly moved her head and quietly moved to the side to create some distance.
A new round of fireworks started outside. The fireworks were still bright and dazzling, but Lin Jiu no longer had the excitement he had when he first watched them. It was as if he had passed the peak and he seemed a little absent-minded.
She turned her head to look at Chen Miao and asked softly, "Are the fireworks beautiful?"
Chen Miao said nothing. In the dim light, his dark, deep eyes stared intently at her face. After a few seconds, he said, "It looks good."
The next second, he let go of her hand and stroked her red lips back and forth with his thumb, "Why don't you wear lipstick? Your lips are so rosy."
Lin Jiu's lips moved slightly, and he was about to speak. Chen Miao spoke first, "I like it very much."
He lifted her chin and touched her lips with it, first grinding it carefully, then biting it lightly with his teeth to feel its fullness, and finally invading deeply, hooking her tongue and stirring it wantonly.
Lin Jiu's consciousness began to blur under his repeated attacks. He looked out the window with hazy eyes. The fireworks were blooming with dazzling colors. Then, the sky fell silent.
Perhaps noticing her distraction, Chen Miao pinched her waist lightly with dissatisfaction.
Lin Jiu had just come back to her senses when her lips were freed and she took a deep breath. Before she could take a few breaths, she was picked up and pressed onto the bed.
Her lips were pried open again, and her tongue was sucked tightly, unable to escape. He was very greedy, exchanging saliva with her heartily, as if to squeeze out the last bit of her sweetness and make sure to suck it all out.
After a deep and passionate kiss, he kissed her forehead and smelled the scent of her hair, "I'll take you home."
In the elevator, Lin Jiu shook his tightly held hand, looked at Chen Miao and said, "The end of the semester is coming soon..."
"Hmm?" Chen Miao's gaze shifted from the elevator floor display screen to look at her.
Lin Jiu complained angrily, "We have a lot of things to memorize in our major, but the time is tight and the workload is heavy. I haven't finished memorizing a lot yet."
Chen Miao immediately understood the subtext of her words. "So... you don't have that much time to spare for me. That's what you mean."
"Yes, you are really amazing..." Lin Jiu first praised him, then put himself in his shoes, "Besides, you have an exam too, so you probably need to review. We may not have time to meet again on the weekend."
Chen Miao looked at her with resentment, and she looked back at him pitifully. Finally, he nodded helplessly, indicating that he understood.
Lin Jiu thought that this had been properly handled.
When they arrived at the dormitory building, Chen Miao pulled her into the car and kissed her enough. Finally, when he saw that her mouth was swollen, he let her go.
