Confession
Jian Jianan closed the door, and then saw Shan Jiqing sitting obediently on the sofa, waiting for her to come over.
Although there was no other expression on his face, as if he didn't care about anything, Jian Jianan, who had been friends with him for nearly ten years and was familiar with his personality, could immediately tell from his various little movements that Shan Jiqing was shy!
He watched Jian Jianan getting closer and closer to him, and his own shadow could almost be seen in his eyes.
Shan Jiqing pursed his lips, then opened them with determination and tried to speak: "I..."
Jian Jianan: "Shh. Don't say anything."
He actually shut up.
Jian Jianan touched his hand; it was icy cold. She then touched his sleeve; it was also cold, the same temperature as the snow outside. She immediately frowned, "Why are you wearing so little? Just a suit jacket. How can you survive in such a blizzard like this?"
Shan Jiqing coughed lightly a few times, "Cough cough cough." His voice was a little hoarse.
"I was still in the lab when I saw the news. The temperature was comfortable, not cold, so I wore my suit jacket. I was so anxious at the time that I didn't think to go back to the dormitory to change clothes. But it's okay. I don't feel that cold now."
Jian Jianan lectured, "Don't you feel cold? If you really feel cold, it will be too late! You should quickly change into something thicker!"
After hearing Jian Jianan's words, Shan Jiqing finally realized the chill. He raised his eyes hesitantly, and before his mind could react, Jian Jianan pushed him into the room. "Go ahead, go ahead. Don't take off the blanket, wrap yourself up already!"
Seeing that Shan Jiqing still didn't want to go into the room, and most importantly, didn't want to leave Jian Jianan, she had no choice but to promise: "Okay, okay, don't be so clingy. Are you still a little puppy who has just been weaned? I'm in the room and won't go anywhere else except here. Don't worry, I promise you, promise is okay, right?"
In fact, Shan Jiqing still felt that he couldn't leave. He was reluctant to leave and wanted to make a final resistance, but Jian Jianan pushed him in forcefully and ordered, "Go in and change your clothes. I make sure you can see me the first thing you see when you come out."
Under Jian Jianan's firm tone, Shan Jiqing had no choice but to go into the room and change clothes.
Jian Jianan wanted to close the door, but was stopped by Shan Jiqing, "No! Don't close the door! I'm changing clothes in the corner, but leave the door open for me, I want to see you!"
Jian Jianan was stunned: "You can't see me even if you stand in a blind spot!"
Shan Jiqing insisted: "No, this way I can hear you more clearly when I change clothes."
Jian Jianan took into account his fear just now and could only do as he wished.
"And your pants, you need to change them too! My hands are all wet after touching them! Anyway, you should just change all your clothes!"
While Shan Jiqing was changing clothes, Jian Jianan was not idle either. She first made a long-distance call back to China to report her safety.
When they received the call, Su Qinxuan and Jian Yangping were so moved that they were about to cry.
"Alright, alright, I'm fine. I'm really fine. The embassy is here now. If you don't believe me, do you also not believe the embassy?"
Su Qinxuan wiped her eyes and said, "You have a long criminal record and are so stubborn. You always report good news but not bad news. Tell mom the truth. If Xiaoqing hadn't called home this time, would you not have told us about this?"
Jian Jianan felt guilty. According to her personality, there was a 99% chance that it was just as her mother said. She was never willing to talk about such things and make her family worry.
After everything is settled, Jian Jianan will casually bring it up during a conversation. This is her style.
Jian Jianan's tone unconsciously took on a hint of sweet complaint: "Xiaoqing, you're too anxious! I didn't expect you to call me too. I've made Mom and Dad worry about me too."
Su Qinxuan sighed, "Nannan, it's not right for you to talk like that! Xiaoqing must have called out of kindness. Otherwise, we would have been kept in the dark and I don't know how scared we would have been when we found out later."
Jian Jianan knew that he was in the wrong, so he didn't dare to refute and just listened to his mother's nagging resignedly.
I didn’t expect this was far from the end!
After Su Qinxuan finished talking, Jian Yangping ended the call and continued talking, while Jian Jiabei was the third one.
They hung up the phone only after all three of them had severely criticized and dealt with the matter of "Comrade Jian Jianan not reporting the serious difficulties he encountered", and highly praised Shan Jiqing's behavior, saying "please investigate again and report again".
Jian Jianan didn't even have time to catch her breath. She immediately went to the kitchen to boil a pot of ginger water. After thinking for a while, she added some red dates and wolfberries into it. Shan Jiqing had caught a cold, so he must nourish his body well.
Shan Jiqing was always worried about changing clothes once a year, and he would report to Jian Jianan almost every time he finished a step.
"I changed out of my wet clothes!"
"I'm done with my bath!"
"I'm dressed!"
"I'm coming out!"
Shan Jiqing was now worried and anxious. He stayed in the room alone. If he didn't see Jian Jianan, he would start to have wild thoughts. He got dressed as quickly as possible and went out.
As soon as she went out, just as Jian Jianan had promised before, she stayed at the door of Shan Jiqing's room so that he could see her at a glance.
Shan Jiqing felt like it was a dream, otherwise how could all his daydreams come true now!
As soon as Shan Jiqing came out, Jian Jianan stuffed a cup into his hand and said, "Drink this. This is the red date and ginger tea I just made. It's perfect for warming up your body. Finish this cup of hot tea first, and then we can talk about business."
What serious business can we talk about?
Shan Jiqing knew immediately that apart from his feelings for Jian Jianan, he had no other serious business.
Shan Jiqing has always wanted to break this window paper, and now that Jian Jianan has taken the lead, he doesn't know whether to be happy or sad.
His feelings for Jian Jianan were obvious, she must have known it.
Especially this time, because he couldn't get through on the phone and was worried about Jian Jianan's safety, Shan Jiqing tried every possible way to contact the embassy, and then called the police. In the end, he overcame all difficulties and arrived at Jian Jianan's side.
Let me ask you, which good friend would do this?
At this point, especially the hug as soon as they met and the unconcealable passionate emotions, Jian Jianan must have known it clearly.
How will she respond?
Accept or reject...
Jian Jianan saw that Shan Jiqing had almost finished drinking and wanted to speak, but he didn't expect that Shan Jiqing would beat him to the punch.
"When I go home now, I often hear my grandparents and parents rejoicing. They said they thought I would remain distant and uninterested in everything for the rest of my life, but they never expected that I would be completely fine and recover like a normal person."
"I know. Actually, when I was little, I didn't say anything and didn't react at all. People often called me stupid behind my back. They saw that I wouldn't say anything to complain, and sometimes they would even say it to my face. But I didn't feel bad at all."
Shan Ji Qingyun spoke calmly. Although he was describing the injustice he had encountered, there was not the slightest emotional fluctuation, as if he was talking about other people's affairs.
"I used to feel like I didn't belong in this world at all. I didn't understand other people's emotions, or why they cried or laughed. Anyway, I just stayed in my own world, enjoying myself and having fun."
“But it wasn’t until that day that I truly felt the world.”
Shan Jiqing remembered that day very clearly, because it was from that day that he began to have his own perception of the world.
Jian Jianan was also filled with emotion: "Yes, I remember that day too, it was very memorable. It was also from that day that our family found a stall at the Sunshine Farmers' Market and officially opened our own small restaurant. This was also the prototype of the North-South Hotel. Our family of four no longer had to work hard every day to set up a stall in front of the train station..."
When talking about serious matters, Jian Jianan talked incessantly, which immediately destroyed the ambiguous atmosphere between the two of them.
Then, Jian Jianan reacted immediately and said to Shan Jiqing with a smile: "Sorry, let's get back to the previous topic."
Shan Jiqing didn't mind at all. He propped up his head and continued to watch Jian Jianan say, "No, no, no, it's okay, it's okay. I just like listening to you say this."
Maybe even Jian Jianan herself didn't notice that every time she talked about these business matters, her eyes would sparkle and her whole body would shine with a vibrant light.
Shan Jiqing likes Jian Jianan like this the most.
Back to the topic.
"It's funny, but what I remember most clearly about that day wasn't the scene of us kids bravely fighting the human traffickers, but the sight of you rushing down from the van and running towards me."
When Shan Jiqing heard Jian Jianan's words, he lowered his head and smiled.
"You ran towards me with traces of yellow transparent tape on your mouth. I thought something had happened! I immediately shielded you behind me, but you didn't say a word even after I asked you several times. My brother and I thought we had encountered a mute."
Shan Jiqing and Jian Jianan recalled the past together and laughed at the same time.
Thinking back to their first meeting, it was so dramatic.
Shan Jiqing said seriously: "You see, we have been so destined to each other since we were young."
Jian Jianan smiled and asked curiously, "And then, after that first encounter, did your mentality change?"
Shan Jiqing laughed: "How is that possible? We were both children at the time, how could it be so early?"
The environment that should have been filled with pink bubbles was turned into an academic conference by these two people. Both parties in the conference were seriously discussing the serious academic question of "how did one fall in love?"
Jian Jianan didn't seem shy at all. She stared at Shan Jiqing with her bright eyes without blinking, as if she wanted to find a hole in him.
Jian Jianan was not shy, but her eyes made Shan Jiqing shy.
Shan Jiqing was a little angry and embarrassed. Why was this confession so strange?
Yes, after Shan Jiqing came out, he defined this scene in his mind as "confession". This was an important moment for him to analyze his feelings with Jian Jianan and then confess his feelings.
But now Jian Jianan asked one question after another, which didn't sound like a confession at all!
It looks more like he's interrogating a prisoner, or conducting a very serious experiment. In any case, it doesn't look like a confession at all!
Shan Jiqing felt somewhat self-destructive. He thought about it and realized that Jian Jianan did not play by the rules. Wasn't he the one who knew the matter best? Since she wanted to do this, then so be it.
Shan Jiqing continued, "When I first began to connect with this world and truly feel it, I simply clung to you and wanted to be with you. We were together no matter what we did. But I don't know where this friendship subtly changed. Anyway, by the time I realized it, I knew this relationship was no longer the friendship we once had as classmates."
He began to count the details: "It seemed like overnight, before I even knew it, I had already spontaneously decided to go check on Gu and protect you."
Shan Jiqing recalled that during a physical education class in junior high school, Jian Jianan was about to fall. At this critical moment, Shan Jiqing rushed over and got under Jian Jianan.
Boys develop later than girls, and Shan Jiqing is even half a head shorter than Jian Jianan. However, he didn't have time to think and immediately rushed over to act as a human cushion for her, so that Jian Jianan was not injured.
Jian Jianan also thought of this matter now. They looked at each other, trying not to smile at the same time.
"I remember that at that time, you were a little shorter than me, about half a head. But look at you now..." He is 1.8 meters tall, with a handsome and well-proportioned figure, and he looks best in a suit.
She shook her head as she spoke, "I really don't know what you ate in the last few years to suddenly grow so tall."
Shan Jiqing said: "Maybe I want to protect you, so I want to grow taller and taller."
Shan Jiqing is really good at speaking sweet words now, as if he has been reborn. He doesn't even need to prepare any words, and the sweet words fly towards Jian Jianan as if they are free.
He sighed and said with emotion: "It turns out that before I even realized it in my heart, I had already subconsciously wanted to protect you. My body realized this earlier than my heart."
After seeing him finish a cup of tea, Jian Jianan went straight to the kitchen and poured him another full cup, which was twice as much as the previous one.
He stared at Shan Jiqing, who, despite a troubled expression, was still obediently drinking slowly from his large cup. He nodded with satisfaction and suddenly asked, "So, that time in high school when you heard someone making up rumors about me, you immediately rushed out to fight them. Is this the reason?"
Shan Jiqing rubbed his nose, feeling a little embarrassed. "I had already realized my feelings for you when I graduated from junior high school."
What he didn't say was that Shan Jiqing was a relatively mature person. Being precocious, he keenly noticed the changes in his own feelings while other students were still exploring the world.
When he felt that he cared too much about Jian Jianan and his possessiveness became stronger, he deliberately did not see Jian Jianan for three or four days. He hid in his room, trying to sort out his feelings.
Jian Jianan tried to analyze from all aspects what kind of feelings he had for Jian Jianan, but when he closed his eyes and tried to analyze rationally, various images of Jian Jianan always appeared in his mind.
There was her heroic figure when she was doing her campus purchasing business, counting money and changing change neatly, and her refusing to give in and arguing after her business was confiscated by the teacher, and there was also...
Of course, what comes to mind most often are Jian Jianan's various smiles, her smug smile when she makes money, her sly smile when she sells products, and her angry smile when she is cheated.
But no matter what, these are all part of Jian Jianan.
Shan Jiqing had never seen anyone like Jian Jianan. She was like a little sun, always so full of energy. She always showed a smile in front of people, as if no matter what difficulties lay ahead, she could not be defeated.
Maybe this is complementarity. In short, Shan Jiqing felt that Jian Jianan was special the moment they met, and then this feeling grew stronger as they got to know each other better.
Hearing this, Jian Jianan laughed with an ambiguous tone. She kicked Shan Jiqing's leg and asked him, "Why didn't you tell me before that you still have such thoughts?"
Shan Jiqing glanced at Jian Jianan, quickly shifted his gaze, and smiled bitterly: "Tell you? How dare I?"
"Why not?" Jian Jianan was very surprised. If you like someone, you must tell him right away! Otherwise, the other person will not know your feelings at all.
This is because Shan Jiqing and Jian Jianan have different personalities and the choices they make are also different.
Jian Jianan is bright and generous, with a strong ability to take action. She does whatever she wants to do immediately.
Shan Jiqing is different. Due to his childhood experiences, he must plan carefully before doing anything. He always has many concerns and has to look at all the possible ways forward and backward before deciding whether to do it or not.
He looked deeply into Jian Jianan's eyes: "You really don't know?"
"I'm afraid if I tell you, we won't even be able to be friends anymore."
"I was thinking, 'I'll spend more time with you, so you can get familiar with me.' Perhaps somewhere I don't know, you have the same feelings for me. Then, we'll fall in love with each other, and everything will fall into place naturally, perfectly."
The two of them sat in the house on a snowy day, holding a cup of tea and looking at each other. This was definitely not the confession scene that Dan Jiqing had imagined before.
But it still happened.
"But you still said it today." Jian Jianan didn't look moved at all. Shan Jiqing had clearly revealed the softest part of his heart to her, but she still didn't look moved at all and continued to explore it awkwardly.
Shan Jiqing nodded. "Yes, I finally said it today. This might be what you often say, Nan Nan: plans can never keep up with changes. It's precisely because of this that our lives are always full of unknowns and the road is full of challenges. This is also one of the reasons why we stay energetic."
For example, today, this confession was beyond the expectations of both of them. It is still unknown whether Jian Jianan can accept it.
Shan Jiqing felt like he was about to say everything he had to say in his lifetime. He was a man of few words and would only talk a little more in front of Jian Jianan, but he had never talked as much and as densely as he did today.
Now has come the most important moment. Shan Jiqing pursed his lips and looked at Jian Jianan cautiously.
"Now, if I were to delve into the fundamental reason why I like you, I don't think I can put it into words. But I don't have that feeling towards anyone else at all. Call it destiny or nurture? Love is something no scientist has ever published a paper to clearly explain. But even if no one knows the reason, I know the result, and that's enough."
He was a little nervous. He cleared his throat and coughed a few times before he said to Jian Jianan solemnly, "Comrade Jian Jianan, we have been with each other since we were twelve years old. In the past ten years, we have been best friends and partners who can talk about anything. Now I want to take it a step further and become boyfriend and girlfriend. Can you promise me?"
Shan Jiqing had read many books, all of which taught people how to express their love, requiring roses, candles, and preferably a big meal.
But it’s freezing now, and the power in the apartment hasn’t been restored yet. Where can he get these things?
Moreover, he always felt that it was not necessary to say these things to Jian Jianan. It was enough for him to offer Jian Jianan his sincere heart.
Now, it depends on what Jian Jianan has to say.
What she was about to say would be enough to judge Shan Jiqing.
Shan Jiqing waited anxiously for Jian Jianan's answer. He was not sure whether Jian Jianan would nod or shake his head.
This might be the longest time in Shan Jiqing's life that he had stared into someone's eyes. He stared into Jian Jianan's eyes, as if he wanted to see into her heart.
After hearing Shan Jiqing's sincere confession, Jian Jianan's face was visibly touched. The smile she had put on to liven up the atmosphere disappeared, and she frowned, thinking about something.
She doesn't look like the powerful and active-minded girl in real life at all.
But no matter what, Shan Jiqing thinks Jian Jianan is the cutest.
It takes some time to accept a sudden confession of love. Shan Jiqing understood this, but he still couldn't help feeling anxious, as if his whole heart was being roasted on charcoal.
A second ago, Shan Jiqing wanted time to go faster, faster, he wanted to know what Jian Jianan's answer would be.
But in the next second, Shan Jiqing wanted time to slow down, even slower. He suddenly felt resistance and didn't want Jian Jianan to give the answer right away.
Before everything comes to light, he and Jian Jianan can still be friends and maintain that thin relationship, but after the answer is revealed, they may not even be able to be friends anymore.
"I...if you just don't agree to me, it doesn't matter to me!"
Anyway, he has been with Jian Jianan for ten years, so he can continue to stay. The first ten years have passed, so is the next ten years far away?
"If you haven't thought about it yet, or don't want to, can you give me a chance to pursue you?"
Jian Jianan thought for too long. Shan Jiqing felt that his heart could not handle this matter at all. It kept beating. The beating of his heart even rang in his eardrums, making him dizzy for a moment. Even in the warm house, he inevitably felt cold.
This is worse than standing in the blizzard before!
Shan Jiqing panicked.
"I know it's a bit abrupt for you to tell me this now, and I also know that you haven't thought about this at all. You have no intention of considering personal matters and are only focused on developing your career."
All the mistakes are his fault.
"But I really can't help it. I thought I could do it gradually, but a person's heart won't change at will. I'm very sure who my heart belongs to. Do you want him?"
Shan Jiqing then added another sentence.
"If you don't want it now, please give this heart a chance to follow you."
At the end, Shan Jiqing asked with anticipation and nervousness: "So, Nan Nan, are you willing to let me be your boyfriend?"
"Or, can you give me a chance to pursue you?"
The former is an agreement, and the latter is a refusal.
"No..." Jian Jianan came back to his senses with a helpless smile, and heard Shan Jiqing's earth-shattering confession.
She subconsciously denied: "No..."
Then she saw Shan Jiqing's face turn pale in the next second, and his face was full of panic, and she immediately realized that she had said the wrong thing.
Jian Jianan was also panicked: "I said no, not because I don't like you, it's just a way of expressing my feelings...but also..."
The more you talk, the more mistakes you make. Jian Jianan is very nervous now, afraid that he might mishandle this matter by mistake, which will lead to unpredictable consequences.
Didn’t you see that Shan Jiqing’s face turned pale and his hand holding the cup was shaking slightly?
"Oh, forget it..." Jian Jianan gave up the chance to explain to him.
Forget it? What do you mean by forget it? Is their relationship just over? Is it over?
Shan Jiqing's hands trembled even more, and Jian Jianan was worried that the red date ginger tea in the cup would spill out.
So the next second, she said directly: "I promise you, I promise your confession and your pursuit. I think our relationship can indeed develop further."
There were no words of admiration, and she continued to speak in her usual straightforward manner, as if she was discussing how to expand and develop a business.
But to Shan Jiqing, these words sounded like the sound of nature. He was too nervous before and felt as if there was a layer of frosted glass between him and the world, as if he had returned to his childhood.
It took a long time for Jian Jianan's words to reach his mind and for him to understand the meaning.
"You said...what did you say...you agreed!" The first part of the sentence was still so calm, but at the end, the voice suddenly rose an octave. Shan Jiqing couldn't believe it, and then fell into ecstasy.
But before that, he managed to maintain his sanity and repeatedly checked in the direction of Jian Jianan: "What did you just say? I may not have heard it clearly. Did you just say you promised me?"
Jian Jianan found it funny, but she also knew that this was not the time to laugh, so she said seriously, "Yes, I promise you."
Before Shan Jiqing actually confessed his feelings to Jian Jianan, as if he was writing a paper, and they had been talking about it from childhood to the present. Now, Jian Jianan wanted to reciprocate and tell Shan Jiqing about his own mental journey.
"You know... my family wasn't well off when I was a kid. If it weren't for the fact that we couldn't make ends meet back home, my parents wouldn't have sold everything and brought my brother and me to Shenzhen."
"So I have been a money-grubber since I was a child." There is nothing wrong with saying this matter. This is the truth. Jian Jianan is very open and frank about it and is not ashamed of it at all.
"Before, my family was poor, so I loved money. Money could greatly improve our living conditions, relieve my parents from the work, and provide me and my brother with the opportunity to go to school."
"But the policies were good, and as the first group of people to go into business, we actually benefited a lot. Soon, our family escaped poverty and even surpassed the level of moderate prosperity. We no longer lacked money at home."
"But I still love money. At this stage, I'm not just in love with the existence of money, nor am I in love with the various meanings behind it. I've thought about it and I enjoy the process of making money. When I encounter difficulties, I find ways to solve them. When I encounter challenges, I'm eager to try. This path is very exciting. Not only am I not afraid, sometimes I'm quite enthusiastic."
At this point, Jian Jianan looked at Shan Jiqing and looked at him in the same way: "I feel that my feelings for you have also developed in this way."
At the beginning, Shan Jiqing was just a child who was rescued by chance to Jian Jianan. Later, the two became classmates. In fact, Jian Jianan's mentality did not change much. She was used to taking things as they came. It was quite interesting that a child who she had only met once became her classmate.
But who would have thought that the fate between the two of them was not just limited to this. They were classmates from elementary school to junior high school and finally to high school, and they could be said to be inseparable in these years.
Even after going to college, although they were admitted to different universities, they would still have dinner together whenever they had time and participate in each other's important matters, not to mention that they went abroad to study during their junior year, which made their relationship even closer.
"I've also seen a lot of men, and the ways in which lovers get along. The bad ones include Lü Zude, who stole Sister Xiu Li's recipes and identity; Honghe Honghe in high school, who spread rumors about me based on hearsay; Liu Huan and Ye Wenyan Wenxin in college, although they were more pretentious, they were all the same kind of people at heart."
"Only you, Xiaoqing, I feel like you have never changed."
Even though she has grown to 1.8 meters now, and Jian Jianan needs to look up slightly to look at her, her height, appearance and habits have changed a lot from before. It is impossible to say that she is exactly the same as when she was a child.
But whenever Jian Jianan cast his eyes on Shan Jiqing, he would always turn his head in time to meet Jian Jianan's gaze.
Every time Jian Jianan looked deeply into Shan Jiqing's eyes, his emotions were so straightforward and obvious, and Jian Jianan knew that he had never changed.
"Other people, I mean the other men I've met and seen, always think that women have to rely on others for everything, and that they can't accomplish anything on their own."
The same is true for her mother Su Qinxuan. Although she had long since left the help of her husband Jian Yangping, the development of Jinhuiju and the subsequent Nanbei Hotel were almost all supported by her alone.
But there are still people who say behind his back that Su Qinxuan’s business could have grown to such a great level without the help of Jian Yangping.
There were also those who would ask Jian Yangping on the spot, "Mr. Jian, why are you willing to let your wife go out? She works so hard in the business world. Your family is not short of money, right? As a woman, it's better to stay at home and take care of your husband and children and enjoy life!"
The intentions of these people are obvious. They just want to persuade Jian Yangping not to let Su Qinxuan come out to do business in public!
Fortunately, the couple have supported each other through all the ups and downs and have come this far. The relationship between them cannot be disrupted by other villains.
Jian Yangping had never said anything like this to Su Qinxuan. He would only ask her if she needed help when Su Qinxuan encountered financial difficulties.
Jian Jianan also envied the relationship between his parents and always took it as a meal, thinking that if he needed it in the future, he would be able to emulate his parents.
Fortunately, Jian Jianan has Shan Jiqing by his side.
Thinking of this, Jian Jianan asked Shan Jiqing: "Do you know what is the most rare thing about you?"
Shan Jiqing didn't know, but having just successfully confessed his love, he liked everything. Even if Jian Jianan said that everyone could have one sun, he would nod in agreement.
"You're not chauvinistic at all. Not only that, you're the very opposite of chauvinistic!"
Shan Jiqing had no objection to Jian Jianan pursuing a career or "going out and showing off". Not only did he not object, he would also provide assistance and help Jian Jianan deal with other miscellaneous matters so that she could focus on her work.
It is said that men work outside and women work inside, but for these two people, it is the other way around.
Jian Jianan didn’t understand it before, but now that he has come into contact with more people, he realizes how valuable this kind of character is.
It’s not that no one likes Jian Jianan. She has been confessed to by someone before, saying that he likes the drive in her and wants to be with her.
But soon, these people would come to her again and say that they couldn't stand her love of the spotlight and that competitive women were not good.
Jian Jianan was full of questions. Who asked you to like me? I clearly rejected you before!
And when you confessed to me before, didn’t you swear that you liked my personality? Now you say that I’m strong and unlikable?
Shan Jiqing would never be like this. He was always consistent. What he liked was Jian Jianan's character of speaking his mind, doing things immediately, and sticking to his word.
Jian Jianan said slowly to Shan Jiqing, "You just said that you were worried about the outcome before you decided to confess. In fact, how could I not be worried too?"
"Until this opportunity comes, I've decided to adopt a policy of not listening and not asking about you. This way, I don't have to worry that any changes will cause our relationship to break down."
"Then I thought about it. I've become very dependent on you. I've gotten used to having you by my side. Our personalities have been successfully integrated and are the most suitable model for each other. I can't imagine a life without you by my side in the future."
"The most important thing is that I found that I am not indifferent to you."
This is the most important reason. Jian Jianan would review and summarize whenever something happened, so when Shan Jiqing was taking a shower, she also thought carefully about every detail of their previous interactions, and then she came to the conclusion: she really likes Shan Jiqing.
So now that he has confessed his love to her, why doesn't Jian Jianan agree?
There was still no electricity in the apartment, but the machines outside were rumbling. The maintenance personnel had arrived and were repairing the lines. Jian Jianan and Shan Jiqing sat in the quiet house, but they could still hear the bustling noise in the corridor outside. Everyone had survived the disaster and came out to chat and express their various feelings.
Jian Jianan and Shan Jiqing hid in their little house, creating a world of their own, like another world.
The two of them had just expressed their feelings to each other, and now they were looking at each other lovingly, with an indescribable feeling surging in their hearts.
Shan Jiqing couldn't believe it. Jian Jianan agreed to his confession so easily. Shan Jiqing thought he had to pursue her before he could win her favor.
Jian Jianan put down a big stone in her heart. She finally sorted out her feelings for Shan Jiqing. The two of them were together naturally. What could be more wonderful than this?
Oh, it would be even more perfect if she could successfully complete her exchange student studies and return home!
Shan Jiqing sat stiffly on the sofa, like a wooden man. He looked at Jian Jianan for a long time, straightened his home coat, and tried his best to make himself look more formal.
But how serious can coral fleece pajamas, whose ultimate purpose is to keep warm, be? The furry pajamas make Shan Jiqing's temperament even more adorable.
He walked up to Jian Jianan, looked at him intently, and made the first request after the two of them confirmed their relationship and became boyfriend and girlfriend.
"Can I hug you?"
Jian Jianan answered with practical actions. She stood up, threw herself into Shan Jiqing's arms, and put her arms around his neck.
"Of course!"
The two of them stood quietly in the middle of the room and hugged each other for a while.
Shan Jiqing was a little distressed: "This is my first time, and I don't know what to do as a boyfriend and girlfriend."
Jian Jianan was very generous: "It's my first time too! It's okay, if there's anything you don't understand, I can teach you! Let's just learn it together and take it slow!"
When they released the hug, they looked into each other's eyes as if they had a thousand words to say.
Three seconds later, both of them looked away, feeling a little shy.
"you……"
"I……"
They both spoke at the same time and stopped at the same time.
