Chapter 191 Liking is a wonderful thing
Through the lowered window, Jian Yan could clearly see the man's handsome and refined face. The wickedness in his eyes remained as always, but his gaze was still deep and mysterious, as if hiding a profound secret.
Today he was wearing a blue and white polka dot shirt, which made him look more composed. The smile on his lips was just a fleeting expression on his face.
This is the most fundamental difference between Chen Ci and Chen Chu.
She seemed to have never seen a smile that reached his eyes.
Jian Yan opened the car door and got in: "Let's go to the mall first and buy Qing Ning a gift."
Chen Ci nodded: "Okay."
The car drove off the main road, and the air remained silent. Jian Yan fidgeted with his fingers and asked, "What gift are you planning to buy for Qing Ning?"
"And you?" Chen Ci asked.
He held the steering wheel with one hand and casually rested the other on the car window, looking rather nonchalant.
Jian Yan thought for a moment and said, "I don't have any plans. I'll see when the time comes. Maybe the one I like at first glance is the most suitable. Many things depend on first impressions. It's very mysterious."
Chen Ci turned and glanced at her: "Love at first sight?"
“Yeah.” Jian Yan turned her head to look at him. The man was looking at the road ahead, and his features looked even more handsome and rugged from the side.
Jian Yan lowered her eyes and smiled: "Just like interpersonal relationships, it's all about first impressions."
For example, the first time I saw you...
For some reason, Chen Ci repeated what she had just said: "Is the one you like at first sight the most suitable?"
Jian Yan nodded: "Yes, it probably means love at first sight."
"Love at first sight?" Chen Ci switched hands while driving, took a piece of candy from the storage box with his right hand and put it in his mouth, his tone becoming somewhat indistinct: "The one you see at first glance may be the most suitable, but it may not be the right one."
"But at least you have a goal and direction to strive for, which is a very meaningful thing in life, isn't it?" Jian Yan asked.
Chen Ci laughed: "Haven't you heard the saying 'heading south while wanting to go north'? If you're going in the wrong direction, the harder you try, the less likely you are to get the results you want. And you might even lose yourself and your happiness in the end."
Jian Yan was stunned for a moment; he was right.
She pursed her lips slightly and asked, "If that's the case, what should we do?"
"Cut your losses in time." Chen Ci's tone was as casual as ever: "Otherwise what? If you hit a brick wall, you'll have to turn back."
This time it was Jian Yan's turn to be silent. If you're going in the wrong direction, you should cut your losses in time. But was her direction wrong?
After a moment of silence, Jian Yan finally mustered the courage to ask, "Chen Ci, do you have a girl you like?"
Seemingly not expecting her to ask this question, Chen Ci was genuinely taken aback for a moment, then a nonchalant and wicked glint flashed in his eyes.
"How do you know I like girls? Why can't it be boys?"
Jian Yan's expression stiffened: "Then... do you have someone you like? Whether it's a boy or a girl..."
"Of course I am. I'm not some abstinent monk at my age," Chen Ci replied earnestly.
Jian Yan's heart skipped a beat. She pursed her lips and asked, "Do I know him?"
Chen Ci turned his head and glanced at her, naturally noticing the blush on her cheeks. Then he raised his hand and turned on the stereo, and Xie Linjing's clear and gentle voice filled the entire car.
"Liking is a wonderful thing / I still remember that the air was fresh only with you in the rain / Our meeting that day was like the rain that day / Soaking my emotions... Liking is a wonderful thing..."
Out of the corner of his eye, Chen Ci noticed that Jian Yan was still waiting for his answer. He smiled slightly and said, "Did you hear that? Liking someone is a wonderful thing, and wonderful things are also unspeakable."
Jian Yan felt a sudden emptiness in her heart. She sat up straight and looked out the window.
The early summer scenery is vibrant with color.
Everything was teeming with life.
Realizing he wouldn't answer, Jian Yan tactfully changed the subject: "This is Xie Linjing's new song. I didn't expect it to be released so quickly."
Chen Ci nodded: "Really? I didn't pay much attention; I just downloaded it when I saw there was a new song."
Although his tone was casual, I could tell he was somewhat interested, so I briefly explained it to him: "The song is called 'Wonderful and Ineffable.' I was filming Xie Linjing's music video a few days ago, and I heard him sing this song on set."
"Is that so?"
“Yes,” Jian Yan continued, “I’ve occasionally heard Xie Linjing mention that this song was written specifically for someone.”
"Oh?" Chen Ci raised an eyebrow: "So romantic?"
“Yeah, right.” Jian Yan’s tone held a hint of envy: “That’s what exclusivity is. Every girl must be looking forward to being the one she likes.”
"Hmm." Chen Ci nodded. "It's quite enviable."
"Envious?" Jian Yan was a little puzzled: "Envious of Xie Linjing? Or envious of the person who has Xie Linjing's exclusive possession?"
"I envy Xie Linjing for having the ability to express such subtle emotions in a rather romantic way," Chen Ci said in a deep voice, his tone surprisingly serious.
Jian Yan felt a slight unease; she suddenly realized that Chen Ci was far more profound than she had imagined.
Are all psychologists like this?
After a moment of silence, she said, "Actually, everyone has their own way of expressing romance, and you can too."
Chen Ci's lips curled slightly: "Why are you always discussing such personal matters with me today? Is something wrong with you?"
He looked directly into Jian Yan's eyes and said, "I'm a psychologist, you can't hide that from me."
