Chapter 98 End of the text
Yue Li, who had secretly wanted to develop a relationship with her little sister into Yi Ren's, completely gave up.
Forget it, this person only has eyes for her big devil, and she has had a thick fan filter since high school. Collecting protection money can even be said to be robbing the rich to help the poor. She sees through it, so let her have brother Junyi's love alone!
The next day was Monday. Although Yue Li had taken a leave to catch a flight, Ji Rang and Qi Ying both had classes and were too busy to see her off. After having a midnight snack, the three of them said goodbye and agreed to meet again in Haicheng during the summer vacation.
Yue Li also said excitedly: "Yingying, come back early during the summer vacation, we will celebrate your 19th birthday."
She nodded obediently.
The temperature in B city gradually recovered, and Qi Ying was busy with her professional courses, so she had no time to go to the police academy to see Ji Rang. Even on weekends, the two of them rarely saw each other. He seemed to be busy with something, too. He would take a morning off every Saturday to accompany her, and after lunch, he would use the excuse of having something to do at school and leave in a hurry.
This state continued until the end of this semester. Summer vacation is almost here, and Ji Rang is busier than before.
After the last exam, Xia Xiao was about to say something, but finally couldn't help it. She whispered in her ear, "Is there something wrong with your handsome boy recently? Do you want to check on him?"
Qi Ying was always soft and sullen, but it was rare for him to glare at her with a straight face: "Don't talk nonsense, he is not that kind of person."
Xia Xiao stuck out her tongue and shook her arm: "I'm sorry, Yingying, don't be angry. I just haven't seen him for a long time and I'm a little worried. A boy of his quality is really popular in the market. There must be a lot of people coveting him. Yingying, you have to keep an eye on him."
Qi Ying looked at her seriously: "He won't, I don't need to watch him."
With her firm attitude, Xia Xiao could not say anything else, but complained to Ouyang Bi in private that Yingying was so naive and did not know how dangerous the world was. He would not do it, but he could not resist the moths that would take the initiative to pounce on him.
Summer vacation officially started on the third day after the medical school exams.
Qi Ying called Ji Rang and asked him when he would have his holiday so that they could go back to Haicheng together.
She knew that he couldn't use his cell phone during training and classes during the day, and he only made calls at night. Besides, today was Friday, so he should have the day off.
But no one answered the phone.
She thought about it and sent a message to Song Jingnian: "Are you still in class?"
Song Jingnian replied quickly: "What class? We had our exams and holidays the day before yesterday, and the eldest brother left with his luggage this morning."
Qi Ying frowned and couldn't help but worry.
She called twice more, but still no one answered. She was very nervous, and when the lights were almost turned off, the phone finally rang.
She quickly picked up the phone, and Ji Rang's voice was slightly breathless: "Sorry, baby, I dropped my phone in the house and forgot to take it."
She breathed a sigh of relief and asked softly, "Are you in the courtyard?"
He chuckled, "Well, have you finished your exam?"
She nodded obediently and asked, "When are we going back to Haicheng?"
Ji Rang was silent for a while, then he said, "I still have some things to deal with here. Can you stay in the dormitory for a few more days? I will pick you up when I am done."
She thought about it, agreed, and then said, "Can I come to see you?"
He whispered, "Be good and wait for me at school."
After he said that, Qi Ying didn't force it and told her roommate that she would stay for a few more days. Gao Nian snapped his fingers and said, "It's okay. I'll stay with you for a few more days."
Qi Ying rushed over to hug her: "Niannian is so nice."
Gao Nian: "It saves me from getting scolded by my mom when I go home to play games."
Xia Xiao and Ouyang Bi dragged their luggage home early the next morning. The campus gradually became deserted, but as summer vacation had arrived, there were still many people who longed for the campus coming to visit every day.
Qi Ying didn't feel bored with Gao Nian's company. Gao Nian also taught her how to play games. The great player led a newbie and they had fun together for several days.
The day before Qi Ying's birthday, Yue Li called her and screamed, "Yingying, why haven't you come back yet?! All universities across the country are on holiday, is only your B University different?"
Qi Ying smiled and comforted her: "It doesn't matter whether you celebrate your birthday or not. I will tell you the first time I get back."
Yue Li snorted, and then said aggrievedly: "Then I will return the birthday cake."
After hanging up the phone, the senior man beside him took off his headphones and said, "What is your boyfriend doing that made you wait so long?"
Qi Ying pursed her lips, her eyes curved: "I think he is preparing a big surprise for me."
After lunch, Qi Ying was still controlling the little loli character with twin ponytails and following Gao Nian to pick up equipment. Ji Rang’s phone call finally came: "I'll come pick you up right away."
She was so happy: "Are you done?"
He whispered, "Well, I kept you waiting for a long time, baby."
She smiled obediently: "Not long."
After she hung up the phone, Gao Nian said reluctantly, "The good times of playing games with cute girls are over. Alas, I am packing up and going home."
Qi Ying packed her luggage, said goodbye to her, and then dragged her suitcase downstairs after receiving Ji Rang's message.
The boy was still standing in the same position. When the girl came closer, he pulled her into his arms and kissed her several times: "Did you miss me?"
He didn't shave cleanly, and Qi Ying giggled when he rubbed her, and used her small hand to block his chin. He took the opportunity to kiss her fingers, and then held them in his palm.
He looked excited and full of energy.
Qi Ying couldn't help but ask, "What are you so happy about?"
Ji Rang didn't tell her, but just smiled with a tight smile, pulling her all the way to the parking lot and to a black SUV. Qi Ying was still drinking the milk tea he bought for her, and was startled by the sudden sound of the car lock.
"Did you buy a car?"
The boy raised an eyebrow and pulled out a small black leather notebook from his pocket: "I also took the driver's license test."
No wonder he's so happy.
Qi Ying didn't know much about cars, but the big black car in front of her looked domineering and had sharp lines, and she knew it was a good car at first glance. Ji Rang actually modified it himself, but she couldn't tell.
He opened the passenger door and waited for her to sit down, then leaned over to fasten her seat belt before he got in the car excitedly and started the car.
Qi Ying drank the milk tea obediently, looking left and touching right while eating. Her favorite sunflower ornament was placed in the front of the car, and there was a pink pillow on the passenger seat.
Although it doesn't match the momentum of this car at all, she likes it very much.
She is happy if she likes him.
Ji Rang was an amateur racing driver when he was in high school, so he was naturally good at these mechanical things. It was not until they drove onto the ring road that Qi Ying realized that this was not the way back to the hutong courtyard.
She was shocked: "We are not going to drive this car back to Haicheng?"
Ji Rang almost died of laughter: "What are you thinking about? Let's go to the mall to buy something."
The shopping mall he was talking about turned out to be a home furnishing mall.
Even after getting off the car, Qi Ying was still in a daze. She held his hand and asked, "What are we buying here?"
What can you buy in a home furnishing mall? Of course, furniture.
Ji Rang came to a high-end private home furnishing mall and had made an appointment in advance. As soon as the two arrived at the door, a professional consultant came to greet them and took them on a tour after confirming the appointment.
Qi Ying hadn't reacted until the consultant started explaining the style, material and price to them. She pulled Ji Rang aside, leaned on his ear and whispered, "Why do we want to buy furniture?"
Ji Rang was almost killed by the cuteness of his little baby.
I wanted to wait for her to see it with her own eyes, but seeing how curious she was, I couldn't help but tell her, "I have renovated the courtyard and everything is ready. Now all we need is furniture. You can choose whatever style you like."
Qi Ying's eyes widened in surprise.
It turns out that he has been busy with this during this period.
But decorating a house and buying furniture are things that only couples who are about to get married would do, right?
Her little face was flushed, she looked a little happy and a little shy. She pursed her lips and nodded obediently.
The two stayed in the home furnishing store until the evening. Qi Ying finally understood why couples would go to pick furniture together before getting married. It was such a happy feeling to plan the future together.
Although for her, this happiness seems a little early...
It was not until dark that all the furniture needed for the whole house was finalized. Perhaps girls naturally like to decorate their rooms, and Qi Ying was extremely happy throughout the whole process.
After the selected furniture is customized, it will be delivered to her home for installation. After choosing the furniture, Ji Rang took her downstairs and drove her out to dinner.
This place was quite far from the hutong courtyard, and by the time they finished their meal and drove back, it was almost eleven o'clock.
Qi Ying felt a little sleepy, so she leaned back on the cushion and asked him softly, "When are we going back to Haicheng?"
Ji Rang drove the car and reached out a hand to touch her head: "Tomorrow. Are you sleepy? If you are, take a nap first."
She closed her eyes obediently and soon fell asleep. When the car stopped, Ji Rang got out of the car, walked to the passenger seat, and carried her out of the car.
She rubbed her eyes, yawned, and said softly, "I can walk by myself."
He pushed the car door shut with his foot, bent down and kissed her: "I'll hold you."
The old street lamps on both sides of the alley cast dim light, and he held her in his arms and walked in the light, each step was very steady. Until they reached the gate of the courtyard, Qi Ying smelled the faint fragrance of flowers in the night breeze.
Ji Rang said, "The key is in your left pocket, take it out and open the door."
She took her hand off his neck and reached into his pocket. After getting the key, Ji Rang bent down so that she could reach the door lock.
There was a soft clicking sound, which was particularly clear in the night.
Ji Rang carried her inside and hooked the door shut with his foot.
There were gauze lanterns on the eaves of the courtyard, illuminating this square little world.
The weed-covered yard was now full of flowers. She saw roses climbing all over the courtyard wall. There was a swing at the foot of the wall, swaying gently in the night breeze. There was a circle of stone tables and chairs under the tree where she had dug out ants before, and a few summer green leaves fell on the tabletop.
The doors and windows of the brick-walled and green-tiled house have been renovated, and the rooms that had been locked and no one had cleaned before have been opened. Some have been converted into bedrooms, some have been converted into study rooms, and there are also living rooms and tea rooms.
The whole courtyard looked brand new, elegant and quiet, very much like the courtyard where she used to live in the general's mansion.
She found it incredible.
Ji Rang lowered his head and rubbed her, and asked in a low voice: "Do you like it here?"
She felt like crying and nodded softly.
Ji Rang looked at the time and said, "It's twelve o'clock."
After saying this, he held the little girl in his arms and walked towards the only locked house in the yard.
That was the room they had slept in before. A faint light flashed behind the curtains. Ji Rang stood at the door and whispered, "Close your eyes."
She closed her eyes obediently.
She heard the door open and close, and then Ji Rang let her down.
He seemed to be laughing: "Open your eyes."
Qi Ying was inexplicably nervous and slowly opened her eyes.
See fireflies flying all over the room.
The flickering, green light is like little stars falling all over the earth.
She had never seen such a beautiful sight.
I stared in amazement.
It wasn't until Ji Rang hugged her from behind that she heard him say, "Happy birthday, baby."
She was so stupid that she was stunned for a long time before asking, "Where did you catch so many fireflies?"
Ji Rang smiled: "I won't tell you."
He let go of her, took her hand and turned around, then slowly touched her ring finger. Qi Ying realized something and her heart started beating fast.
He smiled and produced a ring like a magician, "Do you know what I'm going to do?"
Her big eyes flickered slightly and she said nothing.
He lowered his eyes and carefully put the diamond ring on her ring finger, then lowered his head and kissed her gently. He said, "I will fulfill your birthday wish."
Her seventeenth birthday wish was to marry Ji Rang when she grew up.
She raised her head slightly and looked at the boy in front of her, tears falling silently.
He seemed to sigh, pulled her into his arms, bent down and kissed her eyes, "Little fool, why are you crying? I proposed to you, you should smile."
She was so good. She raised the back of her hand to wipe her tears and stopped crying.
Fireflies flashed light green before my eyes.
The young man held her face in his hands, and said in a gentle and low voice: "When you were eighteen, I confessed my love to you. When you were nineteen, I proposed to you. When you are twenty, we will get married, okay?"
He had never told her that he was so attracted to her when he saw her for the first time.
The little girl who suddenly appeared to block the stick for him made his long-silent heart feel like beating for the first time.
But he had resisted this world for too long.
He was covered in thorns and didn't dare let her get close.
But she didn't seem to be afraid of the pain at all, and bit by bit, she broke down all his barriers.
The little girl who had been running after him didn't know that he was actually also chasing her.
He once hated God for giving him such a life, but God was kind to him in the end.
He had the best little girl in the world.
The little girl threw herself into his arms and gave him all her love and hope in her life.
She said, “Okay.”
