Chapter 45 No Future
His lips were cold and he didn't respond to her touch.
The tide that surged in Jiang Ning's heart quickly receded.
Even though she threw herself into his arms, he still looked cold.
It's really frustrating.
Is she really that unattractive?
At this moment, she met his eyes, and her sight seemed to be burned.
Jiang Ning's breath surrounded him, and Qi Jinzhou's heart beat so fast that he felt like he was falling into the clouds. He couldn't see the road ahead clearly.
The blood in my body seemed to be solidifying, and then it suddenly accelerated, and the blood vessels expanded, like swollen flower buds in spring, which were about to break through the shackles and bloom.
Her hesitant movements seemed as if she was about to withdraw, but she didn't really withdraw, which made people's heartstrings even more moved.
Her technique was so clumsy and unsystematic that it was a perfect indication that it was her first time kissing anyone.
But he was fascinated by her youthfulness.
The cherry fruit on the tree is about to ripen, why can't he be the first to taste it?
A voice in his heart said: It's just a kiss, Qi Jinzhou just kissed, what are you afraid of? And he was the one who took the initiative. Are you so timid?
Qi Jinzhou thought the sound was too noisy, so he hardened his heart, reached out and grabbed the back of Jiang Ning's head, and pressed him towards himself.
Jiang Ning's pupils shrank in shock.
There was no time for her to regret, nor was there any chance for her to withdraw. She truly experienced what a real kiss was.
It’s like playing a long game of chess, and neither side wants to admit defeat.
Jiang Ning got a moment to breathe and took a breath.
Qi Jinzhou restrained his desire and let her go first.
He was eight years older than Jiang Ning. Jiang Ning was only a freshman this year, about twenty years old. Perhaps when she graduated, she would meet a better man.
At that time, when comparing different men, she soon realized that choosing a man who was about to be married would not be a wise choice. Moreover, compared with those younger men, he no longer had any advantages. Soon, out of practicality, she would no longer choose to be obsessed with herself.
He knew very well that men cared a lot about a woman's virginity, and he couldn't do anything out of line, otherwise it would ruin Jiang Ning.
She still had a lot of future and possibilities. But he didn't.
Jiang Ning was still young and didn't understand these things, but he couldn't pretend not to understand.
Qi Jinzhou's hand finally just fell on her shoulder. He lowered his eyes and glanced down, then looked away.
Qi Jinzhou looked at her oxygen-deprived face, feeling a little guilty. "I'm sorry, I was too strong. Are you feeling better?"
Jiang Ning hummed softly.
Qi Jinzhou covered her with the quilt and stood up. "Go to bed early tonight. I'll be right next to you. Call me if you feel uncomfortable."
Jiang Ning's lips were still a little numb and his head was dizzy, so he nodded obediently.
She stared at the ceiling and calmed down. "So are we going back home tomorrow?"
Qi Jinzhou hummed.
Jiang Ning rubbed his lips with his fingers and pleaded, "Can you give my phone back to me now?"
Qi Jinzhou's eyes turned slightly cold, "Are you still thinking about Zhou Qi?"
Jiang Ning blushed, thinking of the kiss they had just shared. "I didn't. He's my friend after all. I could have sent him a message to tell him I'm fine now. Is that not even possible?"
Qi Jinzhou's face was still not good, "Ningning, if you keep looking at the pot while eating from the bowl, you will end up with a mess."
Jiang Ning was unconvinced, "I didn't. Nothing happened between Zhou Qi and me."
Qi Jinzhou didn't say anything.
Jiang Ning deliberately said playfully, trying to provoke him, "Are you jealous?"
Qi Jinzhou chose to close his eyes, "Ningning, it's time for you to go to bed."
…
When they returned to China, Jiang Ning could only sit in a wheelchair. Since there were only stairs to get on the plane, Qi Jinzhou carried her on the plane the whole time.
Along the way, Jiang Ning's hands were restless and kept touching his Adam's apple, forcing Qi Jinzhou to warn her several times.
Their cabin was arranged in the first class, and the rest of Zhou Qi and his group sat in the economy class.
Li Qi felt very guilty about this matter. She explained to Zhou Qi that she did not help Jiang Ning out of fear at the time, but Zhou Qi did not seem to believe her.
He hadn't spoken to her since the day Jiang Ning had the accident.
When he got off the plane, Zhou Qi wanted to take the opportunity to see Jiang Ning, but he waited and waited, and only saw Qi Jinzhou.
From a distance, he saw Jiang Ning sitting in a wheelchair and being carried into the car.
He walked to the side of the car and found that the door was already closed.
He didn't give up, raised his hand and knocked on the car window, and when the glass rolled down, Qi Jinzhou's face appeared.
"Mr. Qi, can you let me have a word with Ningning?"
Qi Jinzhou said with a cold face, "You hurt her like this, how can you still have the nerve to talk to her?"
Zhou Qi felt guilty, "I'm the one who let her down. I shouldn't have encouraged her to go to the island with me, otherwise none of this would have happened."
Qi Jinzhou said, "It's good that you know. If you really want to do this for Ningning's own good, stay away from her in the future. This is the best compensation for her."
The car window was rolled up and the car slowly drove away from Zhou Qi. Zhou Qi clenched his fists.
In fact, Jiang Ning was sitting next to Qi Jinzhou, but she fell asleep because she was too tired from the plane ride.
Her head tilted towards Qi Jinzhou, resting on his shoulder and sleeping soundly.
After arriving at the hospital, Qi Jinzhou carefully carried her out of the car, but still woke her up.
Jiang Ning rubbed her sleepy eyes, curled up in his arms, and asked, "Brother-in-law, where are you taking me?"
Qi Jinzhou answered her seriously, "Go to the hospital under the Qi Group."
Jiang Ning's voice was muffled. "How long will I have to stay in the hospital? When can I go back to school?"
"When did you become so studious?"
"I'm worried that if I miss my classes, I won't be able to apply for government-funded study abroad programs after I graduate."
“It’s so easy to study abroad.”
"It's not just a simple study abroad program. Only those with excellent academic performance can apply for that program. If I succeed, I can join the Sculptor Association. This association is very difficult to join, as it only recognizes experience studying abroad at public expense. This is the threshold for entry. Once I become a member of the association, I will have the initiative to choose which carving studio to join. Who knows, I might even be able to work with a master. This way, I can become a true master sculptor even faster!"
This was the first time Qi Jinzhou listened to Jiang Ning's plans for his future.
It turns out that Jiang Ning is not as casual and unfocused as she seems. Many times they just don't ask her about it.
Qi Jinzhou saw her full expectations and hopes for the future in her future plans, but in such a future, it was obvious that he was not included.
His appearance and presence would only ruin it all.
Qi Jinzhou felt a little sad, but he still managed a smile on his face, "Then I wish Ningning to become a master sculptor as soon as possible."
Jiang Ning didn't notice Qi Jinzhou's slightly changed tone at all, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, brother-in-law, I will definitely carve a more handsome one for you when the time comes."
Qi Jinzhou looked ahead and couldn't smile. He hoped that at that time, he could still be by her side and she could still see him.
After settling Jiang Ning down, Qi Jinzhou's secretary came over to report, "Mr. Qi, Miss Jiang Yunyun heard you've returned to China and asked where you are now. She couldn't get through to you, so she called me now."
Seeing the current situation, the secretary came over to ask for instructions with great insight.
If the boss's backyard catches fire, he will have a hard time too.
Qi Jinzhou bent down to cover Jiang Ning with the quilt and said coldly, "Give me the phone."
