Chapter 48 Be careful of ignition.
The busy streets are bustling with traffic, and from a distance they look like a sea of bright stars.
Her ears were still echoing with Jin Yun's words. She had the illusion that he was explaining something to her, and there was an ambiguity in his words that she dared not think too deeply about.
Bo Xia didn't look at him again, fearing that his deep eyes would sink deeper if she looked at them again.
They got home a little late that night.
Jin Yunyan had originally just wanted to take her out for dinner. He'd previously said teaching her to dance was secondary, and he hadn't taken it seriously. But she insisted on staying to learn twice more, which made him laugh and ask, "Why is she so concerned when she's not even getting paid?"
Bo Xia thought very simply: since he had to learn it, he had to learn it. Otherwise, wouldn’t it be a waste of time?
After hearing what she said, the smile on his face did not fade. It turned out that staying with him and not doing anything else was also a waste of time. His time was also precious on weekdays, so why didn't he count it like her?
After practicing a few times, Bo Xia has learned the basic dance steps. When she first had physical contact with him, she felt a little uncomfortable and her skin felt hot when it touched her. Now she has almost adapted to it.
She looked up at him, a layer of moisture in her eyes: "Did I dance well?"
Jin Yunyan lowered his eyes and looked at her with a different look than usual. He clearly noticed that she had become a little more childish, as if she had accidentally revealed her true self to him. He couldn't describe his feelings, but he felt a softening in his heart.
So he also raised his eyes and smiled, echoing: "Very good dancing."
He went out for a while, and no one knew what he did.
When I came back, Bo Xia was changing her shoes on the sofa. Her long skirt had slipped to one side, revealing her fair ankles. The chain of her high heels was resting on her fair instep, and she was reaching out to buckle them.
Hearing the sound, she looked up at him, with a hint of doubt in her eyes, as pure as a deer startled in the mountains, and her current posture seemed like an unconscious seduction.
Jin Yunyan stayed where he was, his moist and affectionate eyes falling on her.
After a long time, he came over with the things in his hand.
Bo Xia was still a little confused about what he was going to do, but when she took a look at the bag, she found a mint potted plant inside. The exquisite white porcelain pot was covered with lush green leaves, and she could smell the mint fragrance without having to get close to it.
She was a little confused and asked him with her eyes why he gave her this. Jin Yunyan felt that Bo He was very similar to her. He smiled gently and said, "This is a reward for you."
“…”
She felt a little embarrassed, always feeling that in his eyes she was like a child who needed praise and reward, but it was difficult for her to refuse at the moment.
The pot of mint was finally placed in front of a sunny window.
She was lying on the table in her pajamas, fiddling with mint leaves with her hand, her mind wandering. She thought that their recent interactions didn't seem like those of friends, and she suspected that she was overthinking it. After all, Jin Yunyan was a very good person. If she was self-indulgent because of his kind actions, there would be many people who could be his girlfriend.
If you can't figure it out, don't think about Bo Xia anymore, so as to avoid the spread of greed.
Can a person really be trapped for his entire life by things that he couldn’t get when he was young?
Maybe to a certain extent.
Two years ago, she wanted to compensate herself more than anyone else to make up for her past shortcomings, but she didn't know when she began to become mature and rational, and began to understand that she should learn to let go of obsessions slowly, and she also understood that she should seek what she really wanted.
Perhaps, Jin Yunyan is that obsession for her.
She felt bitter and hesitant, but at the same time she soberly put him in a corner and tried to let him go completely one day.
…
Jin Yunyan came to pick her up on the day of the dinner.
The car stopped downstairs and the driver next to her opened the door. She saw him from afar sitting in the back seat of the car, dressed in a well-tailored suit, looking elegant and noble. It seemed that the whole world was just a foil to him.
After she got on the car, the people around her looked at her for a long time. If it were before, she probably wouldn't dare to look up, but now she has enough courage to look at him.
Jin Yunyan smiled, took out the necklace from the exquisite gift box, and prepared to help her put it on. Bo Xia lowered her eyes to see the gems gleaming in the light, and her arm brushed against his cold cufflinks. Before she could even say anything in rejection, he saw through her.
He lowered his eyelids: "Why are you in such a hurry? I didn't say I would give it to you."
I'm just afraid of owing him something.
After she said that, her refusal faded a bit, and she took the initiative to push her hair aside and let him do what he wanted. It was not known whether it was because Jin Yunyan had no experience in putting necklaces on other people or for some other reason, but he tried to fasten it twice but failed, and the posture he maintained was too much like the prelude to a hug, which made her feel a little hot.
"Are you ready?" she asked.
"Um."
He raised his hand to tidy up her hair and looked at her fair neck. He didn't think the jewelry was that beautiful at first, but now that it was on her, he felt that it had added a bit of color.
Bo Xia had attended similar banquets before, but he was always a transparent person on the edge and could never become the focus.
But this time was obviously different from being with Jin Yunyan, which made her feel a little uncomfortable.
But the discomfort soon dissipated. She gently took Jin Yunyan's arm and soon returned to her usual graceful and elegant self.
After interacting with several bigwigs in the circle, Bo Xia felt a little tired. Seeing someone else trying to talk to Jin Yunyan, she made an excuse that she wanted to eat something and went to the dessert table on the other side.
Jin Yunyan lowered his eyes and listened to her whisper in his ear, then nodded slightly. After the person left, he continued chatting with the person in front of him with a gentle expression.
Halfway through, he looked in her direction and saw her standing aside eating in a relaxed manner. The diamond chain on her clothes was embedded in her white butterfly bones, shining faintly under the light.
But Bo Xia didn't relax for long, she saw another person in front of her.
Originally, she didn't want to offend others in such an occasion, so she always maintained a gentle and polite attitude towards Jin Xingzhou in front of her, but the other party got closer and closer to her.
Bo Xia had to make an excuse that she had something to do. She didn't like people who looked so dissolute.
Jin Xingzhou stopped her with a smile, but finally revealed his true purpose.
"Don't blame me for not reminding you, Jin Yunyan is not a good person, he is just good at pretending," he smiled, "following him will not end well, or consider that I am the same, what he can give you, I can give you too."
Bo Xia immediately lost interest in talking to him, but the smile on her face didn't fade. "Excuse me, in what capacity do you evaluate him?"
She could tell that the other party was intentionally slandering her, and it was not a joke like what Sheng Chi said.
"He and I are family. Who else knows him better than me?"
"Family?" Bo Xia glanced at him. "But I've known him for so long, and I didn't even know he had a family like you. So, you're not that important even if you're a family member."
“…”
Jin Xingzhou had indeed come with bad intentions. He wanted to take away everything that Jin Yunyan had, including the people around him, but who knew that the other party would not buy into his tricks. Now it seems that he really shouldn't have acted so hastily. He should have changed his approach earlier.
Bo Xia smiled: "Do you have anything else to say?"
But obviously, she would not believe any word she heard.
When Jin Yunyan came to find her, she saw the face of the person standing opposite her change slightly, and heard Jin Xingzhou continue to say: "You are too young and too naive to know that he is a lunatic at heart."
Bo Xia looked at him and said, "I have my own eyes and can tell what kind of people others are. As for you, your evaluation and speculation about others do not constitute one ten-thousandth of him, but you can see yourself clearly. [1]"
In fact, Jin Yunyan also wanted to know how good he was in her heart that she would protect him in every possible way.
He reached out and grabbed the woman's arm. Perhaps it was too sudden, and Bo Xia was startled. Just as she was about to look up to question him, she saw that it was someone she knew. The anger on her face gradually faded, and she looked a lot softer.
Jin Yunyan saw her expression clearly and couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips and smile. At this moment, she was like a nervous mimosa that slowly unfolded itself, which looked a little cute.
He didn't give Jin Xingzhou any look, but just asked her if she was full.
Jin Yunyan took her to the dance floor. When their hands touched and they danced to the music, he asked her why she didn't ask about what happened just now.
Those always clear and moist eyes looked at him like that, asking him what was going on? Was he also asking about the slander he had suffered?
"What if what he said is true?"
He was young and frivolous at that time and did a lot of rebellious things. It was only after he went to Nan'an that he became more restrained in order not to worry his mother.
Bo Xia looked at him seriously. "In my eyes, Jin Yunyan would lend a hand even to strangers. He is a kind and gentle person. Why should I not believe my own eyes and believe what others say?"
Jin Yunyan thought about what she had said before: "Someone just said that the way you see others is your own clear view, so is this statement directed at me or you?"
Perhaps it was because he was too close to her, his tall nose was almost poking her, and his voice was so gentle and tender, it captivated her ears, causing Bo Xia to accidentally lose focus and step on his instep with her red-soled high heels.
Jin Yunyan groaned.
She asked him if it hurt. He wanted to say no, but seeing her look worried, he changed his words and said it hurt quite a bit, which made Bo Xia feel guilty and anxious, as if he wanted to check on him right then and there.
He thought he was indeed a bad person, and when he saw her like this, he couldn't help laughing.
Bo Xia's dance steps were messed up by him. She almost fell down because she didn't stand firmly. The next second, a big hand firmly supported her slender waist. It was not known whether her waist was too thin or his hand was too big. Looking at that waist reminded people of the four words "slim and light".
Something seemed to be spreading in the air, as if it would ignite at the slightest touch. Even after the hand left her waist, a burning sensation still remained on her skin, as if it had been branded with some kind of mark.
Bo Xia heard two words fall -
"Be careful."
