“Alright, let’s have a toast to our first happy cooperation!”
At the end of the meal, ye Changqing took the lead and stood up to toast Ji Ziming and Luo Yi.
Ji Ziming awkwardly looked at ye Changqing and smiled awkwardly, but he still raised his glass.
A crisp “bang!” Was heard. The three of them placed their glasses next to each other again. The moment Ji Ziming and Luo Yi’s eyes met, it was as if an electric current was flowing through each other’s bodies. Luo Yi felt uncomfortable under their gazes, so she picked up her glass and drank it all in one go.
Ye Changqing was just taking a small sip, but seeing Luo Yi suddenly drink so much, he immediately waved his hand to stop her.””Hey, Luo Yi, even if you’re happy, you don’t have to drink like this, right?”
!!
Ji Ziming’s heart ached for her as well. Snatching the cup from Luo Yi’s hand, he finally took the initiative to show his concern for her. “Don’t drink like that!”
Luo Yi pursed her lips as tears welled up in her eyes when she saw Ji Ziming’s hand snatch the cup away.”What are you guys doing? I’m just happy! Don’t worry, this wine is nothing. ”
“You drank such a big glass of red wine in one gulp. Are you happy or are you playing with your life?” His tone was full of heartache and blame, and his face was full of unspeakable awkwardness.
After that, the three of them looked at each other.
Ye Changqing could tell what was going on, so he tried to smooth things over.””Okay, okay. We’ve eaten and drunk. Let’s go. The competition is starting tomorrow. Let’s go back early and have a good rest.”
With ye Changqing’s help, the three of them finally paid the bill and left the restaurant.
At the door, Luo Yi rubbed her arms. It was still a little cold at night.”Ye Changqing, it’s all thanks to you for this project. Then I’ll go back first, see you tomorrow!”
Ye Changqing replied with a standard businesslike smile,””Eh, our relationship … Who are we to each other? Fine, don’t you live in the company’s apartment together? Let Ji Ziming send you back?”
Ye Changqing nudged Ji Ziming’s arm with his hand after making the suggestion.
Ji Ziming glared at ye Changqing, unmoved.
Luo Yi saw this awkwardly.”No need, I still want to go to the square. I just drank and now I’m really tired. I can’t sleep.” Alright, you guys can go back to the hotel. Bye, good night!”
Then, Luo Yi turned and left.
“Hey!” Ye Changqing exclaimed. But Luo Yi didn’t look back.
He then turned to berate the man,””I say … No, Ji Ziming, why are you so cowardly? Wasn’t Luo Yi’s performance obvious just now? If you don’t explain it clearly, I’m afraid her marriage with that foreign boyfriend will be reignited!”
Ji Ziming understood that he was only concerned about Luo Yi as a brother, so he merely shrugged his shoulders.
“For Luo Yi, we’re also a ‘resurrection’. Since it’s impossible, why should I give her hope?” I’ve thought it through. In the future, I’ll definitely be determined in my actions. I won’t let her have any possible misconceptions or misunderstandings. Don’t worry, I’ll take care of it. ”
“What?” ye Changqing was clearly confused.”No, Ji Ziming. If you don’t explain clearly, how will she know that you’re not interested?” You don’t understand women at all. Even if you’re not interested, you have to reject her righteously, do you understand? Women are female animals that need a clear and definite answer!”
“Hmph!” The man scoffed in disdain.”It’ll only make things worse if I tell you!”
Ye Changqing wanted to say something else, but he was immediately stopped by Ji Ziming.””Alright, great director ye, you should go back to the hotel and get over your jet lag. It’s getting late. Do you want us all to see a design director with dark circles around his eyes evaluating our competition tomorrow morning?”
As he said that, he pushed ye Changqing toward the parking lot and muttered,””You’re really long-winded, the hotel’s designated driver has already arrived for a long time, and we’re still wasting time here …”
Finally, he pushed ye Changqing into the car. Ji Ziming leaned on the driver’s side window and looked at the reluctant ye Changqing. He sneered and then said to the driver in fluent English,””Please send him to the Maple hotel in the LV group.”
The driver nodded. Ji Ziming stood up straight and waved goodbye to ye Changqing with a smile.
After the car started, ye Changqing leaned over the window and shouted at Ji Ziming,””You’ll regret it if you don’t listen to me!”
Ji Ziming waved his hand at ye Changqing, still in the same position.
The smile on her face gradually disappeared as ye Changqing’s car disappeared at the end of the parking lot.
He sighed and walked towards the apartment.
When he reached an intersection, he recalled what ye Changqing had said: “Even if it’s not interesting, you have to make it clear. Women are female animals that need a clear and definite answer. If you continue to be in a deadlock and not give a response, you’ll only end up hurting both sides!”
Pulling himself out of his thoughts, he took a deep breath and subconsciously changed his direction of walking toward the square.
Luo Yi walked aimlessly in the square. The night wind blew, making her feel even colder. She wrapped her arms tighter.
They came to a wishing well, and the people who came and went were all busy satisfying their own desires. Looking for hope, they put the coins in their hands together and threw them into the wishing pool.
Such devout faith made her feel even lonelier.
She raised her head to look at the statue high above and thought,””God, why do people feel pain and dissatisfaction? How can I free myself from this? Is it true that one’s life is filled with despair because one can’t get what one loves?”
However, no voice could answer her. She looked at the stacked coins in the pool, like ripples in her heart.
As she was looking, she suddenly saw a familiar reflection in the water. It was PEI GE!
That’s right, PEI GE had also reached the wishing well. She held the two balloons the child had sold her earlier and stared at the wishing well and the statue in a daze.
Luo Yi was in disbelief. From her reflection in the water, she slowly shifted her gaze to PEI GE’s real face and subconsciously walked toward her.
As she got closer, her gaze could no longer shift away from PEI GE. She was still as beautiful as ever even though they had not seen each other for a long time. It was just that, after all that she had gone through, there was a hint of elegance and charm in her.
It’s PEI GE. She’s still alive, and they’re in the same city. This is the woman he’s been thinking of day and night, and she’s standing before him safe and sound!
