Chapter 61
There is always a time to say goodbye after every gathering.
No. 5.
After waking up from his nap, Wen Min lay motionless in bed, sighing every few minutes.
Lin Jiu sat cross-legged on the sofa, his gaze shifting from the phone screen to the long figure lying in bed with the cricket pupa. "We'll see each other again someday, so stop sighing."
In the past few days, they referred to the Jinhai guide shared by others on the Internet and visited all the places they should visit in the city.
This year's National Day holiday was very fulfilling and I have no regrets.
Wen Min turned over and sat up, leaning against the cushions at the head of the bed. She looked at Lin Jiu with a rather melancholy look and said quietly, "I don't know when we'll see each other again."
"Well...it's hard to decide on a time." Lin Jiu thought for a few seconds and said, "But we will definitely meet during National Day. I plan to go to Jinghe to visit you, and you will be the one to treat me then."
During the May Day holiday, it was Ji Xin's birthday, and Wen Min would probably spend it with him, so she wouldn't join in the fun. During the National Day holiday, the holiday was long, and Wen Min was also in Jinghe, so it would be more convenient for her to go visit Wen Min.
Hearing this, Wen Min's eyes lit up instantly, "Really?"
"real."
Wen Min was overjoyed and patted the bed excitedly, saying, "Okay, I will definitely treat you well and make you feel at home."
"...Then I'll book that time first."
"Okay." Wen Min agreed immediately. "It's a deal. I'll keep time for you for the entire National Day next year."
That night, Wen Min took Lin Jiu for a few drinks and chatted with her for a while before going to bed.
Suddenly, Wen Min turned from lying flat on her back to lying on her side, looked in Lin Jiu's direction, and said softly, "Lin Jiu, you are my best friend."
After entering college, although she met a lot of people, in her heart, Lin Jiu was the only good friend she could trust.
Although they don't meet often, it doesn't affect their relationship.
Lin Jiu had originally closed his eyes, half asleep. Suddenly hearing these words in the quiet room, he slowly opened his eyes.
She curled the corners of her lips and replied quietly but firmly: "Me too."
You are my only good friend.
Wen Min couldn't contain her joy after hearing this. Inexplicably, she reminisced about the past, saying, "I remember National Day during my freshman year of high school. Back then, we were just strangers in the same class. I never imagined we'd end up sitting at the same table and becoming friends. This National Day, we were all together, and our moods were so different. Fate truly is a marvel."
"Yeah." Lin Jiu said, "Looking back, it seems like everything has a clue. Maybe we were destined to be friends."
When she met Wen Min and Ji Xin at the beginning of the school year, she never thought that she would have any intersection with them.
Just treat them as two special passers-by.
But now... they are friends.
Not surprisingly, the future will also be like this.
The next morning, Lin Jiu gave Wen Min a simple hug at the airport and waved goodbye to her and Ji Xin.
Watching the two disappear at the ticket gate, Lin Jiu suddenly sighed, "When she came here, Wen Min was alone. When she left, she and Ji Xin were together. How wonderful."
Chen Miao hummed and said, "Their problem has been solved. It's finally our turn to enjoy our own world."
Hearing this, Lin Jiu turned his head to look at him - the man she had stood up.
She felt strangely embarrassed and didn't dare look directly at his woodwind instrument.
She stretched out her hands and took hold of the four fingers that were holding his, lowering her head slightly, looking well-behaved and sincere: "Whatever you want to do in the next two days, I will listen to you and will definitely accompany you."
Chen Miao looked at the fingers that were being held with his dark eyes, smiled inexplicably, and said nothing.
He pulled his fingers out of his soft palm, put his hand on her shoulder, took her in his arms and walked out, asking, "What do you want to eat for lunch?"
Lin Jiu replied without hesitation: "Hot pot."
"Didn't we eat it the day before yesterday?"
Lin Jiu said to him confidently: "Now it's the two of us eating, this is different."
Chen Miao nodded, a smile in his eyes: "What you said makes a lot of sense. Then let's go to the hot pot restaurant we often go to outside the school."
-
In the afternoon, Lin Jiu didn't go anywhere and stayed at Chen Miao's house.
She lived a rather decadent life.
Except for going to the bathroom and walking downstairs for a few steps, he spends the rest of the time sitting on the sofa watching TV and doesn't want to move at all.
Whenever she wanted to eat fruit or drink water, she would ask Chen Miao, who was standing on the other side, to get them for her. Throughout the whole process, Chen Miao did not complain at all.
Of course... dinner was prepared by Chen Miao. Three dishes and a soup, his cooking was quite impressive.
Lin Jiu ate to his heart's content.
After dinner, she still sat on the sofa, like a big tree, taking root there.
When Chen Miao came out of the gym, Lin Jiu was lying on the sofa, supporting his head with his hands, staring at the TV screen intently.
She only became aware of his presence when she saw Chen Miao on the sofa out of the corner of her eye.
She pulled her clothes straight to cover her exposed waist and abdomen, sat up straight, and looked up at Chen Miao, whose forehead was covered with sweat. "Are you done with the exercise?"
Chen Miao casually wiped the sweat off his face with the towel hanging around his neck, staring at her intently without saying a word.
"......" Lin Jiu blinked, and his upper and lower eyelashes trembled constantly.
Neither of them spoke.
The only sound in the room was the sound coming from the TV.
Lin Jiu felt uneasy under his gaze. He swallowed and said, "You must be tired too. Why don't you go take a shower?"
Chen Miao finally responded like a robot that had been touched. He slowly chewed on two words: "Take a bath..."
Lin Jiu: “…”
Chen Miao returned to normal, lowered his eyes, sat next to her, lay on the back of the sofa, his legs touching hers.
He raised his head and said, "I'll take a rest first."
Chen Miao had just finished working out, and Lin Jiu could smell some sweat from him. While it wasn't unpleasant, it certainly wasn't pleasant at the time.
It took her several breaths before she gradually got used to the smell.
However, the heat coming from her thighs through the fabric always made her feel a little uncomfortable.
She wanted to move on the sofa next to her, but she felt that doing so would be deliberate and would disturb him.
So she frowned and looked a little conflicted.
Quietly, Lin Jiu turned his head to look at the person next to him.
The light from the room shone on his face, showcasing his handsome features to the fullest. A few strands of wet hair stuck to his forehead, his sharp eyebrows relaxed, and his high nose bridge made him look extremely aggressive.
However, for Lin Jiu, the emotions conveyed by his eyes are more aggressive.
Fortunately, his eyes were closed.
An unsheathed sword cannot hurt anyone, no matter how aggressive it looks.
Suddenly, his lips moved slightly, and he asked inexplicably: "Are you tired?"
"?"
Lin Jiu opened his eyes slightly and looked at his still closed eyes, his mind confused.
"What?" she asked.
He added: "Are you tired of watching TV in the afternoon?"
So that's what it is.
How tiring can it be to sit at home and watch TV!
Moreover, she didn't do anything, her brain didn't need to work, and her hands and feet didn't need to move.
"Not tired." Lin Jiu said cheerfully, "I walked around a lot the past few days and my back and waist are sore. Today I have some free time, so I finally got a good rest."
"That's good."
The next second, Chen Miao asked, "Does what you said this morning still count?"
Lin Jiu didn't know what he was referring to: "What?"
Chen Miao patiently repeated what she had said word for word: "Whatever you want to do in the next two days, I will listen to you."
Lin Jiu's eyebrows twitched as he carefully recalled their conversation that morning. She had indeed said that, and he had repeated it word for word.
She didn't understand why he brought that up now, "I did say that."
"Does it count?" he demanded.
Words spoken are like spilled water, you can’t take them back.
Lin Jiu is a man who keeps his promises.
She said, “Of course it counts.”
After she finished speaking, Chen Miao was silent for a long time. Finally, without any warning, he said something earth-shattering: "I want to sleep with you today."
Hearing this, Lin Jiu was stunned and inexplicably began to get nervous. She thought she must have heard it wrong.
She wanted to confirm: "What did you say?"
Chen Miao opened his eyes quickly, tilted his head and stared straight at Lin Jiu, who was only an arm's length away, and said bluntly: "I want to sleep with you."
Lin Jiu's face turned red instantly, and his hands on his knees slowly curled up into a fist.
She couldn't stand his burning gaze and turned away.
"So, does it still count?" He still asked for her opinion.
Lin Jiu had his back to him, but he felt like his back was about to be burned through.
She didn't answer his question, but asked quietly, "Why so sudden?"
Suddenly, a hot chest pressed against her back, and she was completely locked in his embrace. He slowly placed his chin on her shoulder and said, "Why is it so sudden? I've wanted to do this for a long time."
He blew a breath of hot air on her stiff neck, "You've had a good rest, right? It's better to do it today than tomorrow."
“…”
After a long time, Lin Jiu gritted his teeth and said, "This is too sudden for me. I'm not ready yet."
Chen Miao lowered his eyes, wrapped his big hand around her small hand, gently stroked her fingers, and said considerately: "I'll give you time to prepare..."
Hearing this, Lin Jiu was just about to breathe a sigh of relief, but he heard the second half of his words -
"I'll give you time to take a shower, so you can prepare yourself mentally first."
"......" Lin Jiu's breath was stuck in his respiratory tract.
After a few seconds of stagnation, she sighed deeply. She moved her body and said, "I'm going to take a shower."
In the bathroom.
Lin Jiu tilted his head back and closed his eyes to let the water cleanse him.
The bubbles on the body were washed away.
She turned off the shower, slowly put on her clothes, and opened the door.
Chen Miao was no longer on the sofa.
She breathed a sigh of relief and quietly returned to the bedroom.
Sitting on the bed, thinking about what was about to happen next, she began to get nervous again, her heart hanging in the balance.
She didn't expect that this ordinary day would be so extraordinary.
She didn't reject the idea of this happening with Chen Miao, but she felt that it happened too suddenly and was particularly awkward.
If Chen Miao had just taken her to his bed, she wouldn't have been so nervous. But Chen Miao had given her time to prepare, and she was now exceptionally clear-headed.
Perhaps after a few drinks, she was temporarily dizzy and everything could fall into place. However, this situation was too difficult.
Chen Miao would not do such a thing when she was unconscious. He would definitely choose when she was awake.
He wanted to occupy her body and mind while she was awake.
She could feel this clearly.
As Lin Jiu lowered her head to think, a tall, upright figure appeared outside the open door. He was extremely polite, never crossing the line, and never stepping into her territory.
The bedroom door frame was like a dividing line, separating her and him clearly.
Lin Jiu looked up and quietly looked at Chen Miao who had just finished taking a shower. He was wearing a black short-sleeved shirt and shorts, and everything looked normal.
Chen Miao stared at her for a few seconds, then stretched out his hand towards her: "...Come, let me blow dry your hair."
Lin Jiu hesitated for a moment, then slowly walked up to him and placed his hand on his palm.
When Chen Miao led her towards the master bedroom, she suddenly turned her head to look at him and said, "Don't you think this doesn't have much atmosphere?"
Chen Miao didn't pause for a moment and replied nonchalantly, "Just a kiss and you'll have it."
“…”
This is not wrong.
Every time they kissed, Lin Jiu was dizzy from his kiss. If there was a bed at the kissing location, she would think it was perfectly reasonable for him to throw her onto it.
