Chapter 8 Summer Love
Our summer love is as pure as the sky, entwined with the pink ribbon flying among the flowers, forming an everlasting love, and a promise to be witnessed by heaven and earth. I am in love with you, and we will never be apart.
"What did you say?" Gu Yixue screamed, "Xiaoying, you asked me where Senior Xichen is, just to return the gardenia hairpin he gave you to him?"
Xia Ying nodded, opened the history book and began to review.
"You actually accepted it and dared to return it to him, Xiaoying. Don't you know that you are the happiest girl in the entire Xuansheng Academy? How could you return it to him? Why didn't you let me help you return it? Then I would have the chance to be alone with him..." Gu Yixiu complained.
"Really? Can't I return it to him?" Xia Ying looked at Gu Yixiu in confusion.
"No...then, Xiaoying, can you tell me what happened between you and Senior Xichen?" Gu Yixue said tremblingly. Xia Ying's face was very pale, even whiter than the drawing paper.
Xia Ying raised her eyes and looked at her: "Student Gu Yixue, this month's final exam will start in a few days. Can you study hard? Don't always expect me to tell you the answers during the exam."
"Xiaoying..." Gu Yixue looked at Xia Ying aggrievedly, her watery eyes filled with tears...
"I have to go to work after this self-study class, so don't follow me. Every time you go with me, you just help me make trouble." Xia Ying said lightly, then buried her head in her notes.
"Why... You are the only one in the school who receives a full scholarship, why do you still want to work? Besides, you are the sister of the heir-to-be of the Ji family..."
Xia Ying smiled: "Because I will go with my brother."
"Where are you going? Is he accompanying you to the place where you work?" Gu Yixiu screamed again, causing the classmates who were originally studying hard to look at them.
"Yixue, can you please stop making such a fuss?" Xia Ying was angry. "He is my brother, he should look after me." Besides, she is also the adopted daughter of the Ji family...
After school.
All the classmates had left. Xia Ying walked alone on the campus path with her schoolbag on her back, looking into the distance. The gardenias in the school were becoming more and more pure and beautiful, as if each one was a gorgeous symbol of Xuansheng College.
Elegant and beautiful piano music continued to come from the school auditorium, lingering throughout the entire campus. Unconsciously, Xia Ying walked to the side of the auditorium. She stopped and looked inside.
He was dressed in white and sat beside a completely black piano, his slender fingers moving across the black and white piano keys. He had his back to her, so Xia Ying couldn't see him clearly, but the melancholy and silence emanating from him made Xia Ying recognize him.
Senior Bai Xichen just kept playing, the music was sometimes cheerful and sometimes sad.
Xia Ying gripped the straps of her schoolbag tightly, turned around and walked towards the school gate.
At the school gate.
Ji Xingyan waited patiently, leaning against the side of the car with a gentle smile like the spring breeze on his face, as if he was back to the moment when he waited for her every day three years ago...
Butler Ji behind him saw the smile on his face and raised his lips slightly: "Young Master seems to be in a good mood."
Ji Xingyan nodded.
"This is the first time I have seen the young master smile like this in three years. If this is because of Miss Xia Ying, then I think Madam will also be willing to let Miss Xia Ying return to the Ji family."
Hearing this, Ji Xingyan's face suddenly darkened. He raised his arrogant chin and said in a cold voice: "She is originally from the Ji family, and my mother is still on a business trip in the UK. When she comes back, I will explain this matter to her."
"Yes, young master." Butler Ji replied in a low voice.
Suddenly, the petite girl came into his sight. The familiar figure softened his originally cold face. From now on, she only belonged to him.
"Can I go to the place where I work first?" Xia Ying looked up at him, worried that he would refuse. Her bright eyes were full of requests.
Ji Xingyan nodded: "I'll go with you." As long as she wanted to do something, he would not stop her, but he would stay by her side and watch her.
The car stopped opposite the Happy Flower Shop.
"Would you consider quitting your job at the flower shop?" He looked at her with tenderness in his eyes, which made him, who was originally indifferent and dignified, feel closer than ever before.
"Well... I don't know." Xia Ying replied.
"Will it not affect your studies?" he asked again, his fingers brushing her bangs affectionately, the smile on his face becoming more intense, "My Xia Ying is the only girl in the entire Xuansheng College who has received a full scholarship..."
"Yes..." Xia Ying smiled so much that her eyes curved into a crescent shape, so clear that they were almost transparent.
"I'll wait for you here."
"Okay, you have to wait for me to come back." Xia Ying took her schoolbag off her back and happily stuffed it into Ji Xingyan's arms like she did when she was a child. "If you feel bored, there are some interesting things in my schoolbag..." Xia Ying stuck out her tongue, then pushed open the car door and ran towards the flower shop.
Still the lovely Xia Ying...
Thinking of this, his heart seemed to soften. He gently unzipped his schoolbag and took out a thick diary with a combination lock. The light pink cherry blossoms printed on the cover seemed to be her beautiful smiling face...
What would the password be? Her birthday?
Ji Xingyan turned the combination and tried to open it with her birthday, but to his surprise, the combination lock did not open. He frowned and started turning the combination again. This time, he tried his own birthday.
Sure enough, the combination lock opened automatically, and the combination turned out to be his own birthday...
He smiled childishly, flipped a page, and saw the delicate and beautiful regular script:
…
May 20, ××
I hurt him under the cherry tree and said something I couldn't even believe. He turned away angrily without even looking at me... He must be angry and hate me...
The flourishing late cherry blossoms are falling one after another, so beautiful and sad, as if they are mourning for me...
Ji Xingyan turned another page——
…
April 19, ××
I met a man at Xuansheng College today. His slender figure looked very much like him. I knew he was Bai Xichen, the president of the student union, who decided some important things in the school...
It's been three years, is he okay?
…
April 29, ××
I unexpectedly became the vice president of the student union. Today, I received a task and also learned one thing - Ji Xingyan is going to transfer to Xuansheng College. This must be just a coincidence. He doesn't know that I am still in this city. He won't come back from the UK just because of me...
…
May 10, ××
In the morning, after knowing that I was his sister, I also knew that he seemed to have lost his mind and wanted to play basketball with Bai Xichen. I tried to stop him, but he said those words, and I couldn't help but hit him. At that moment, everyone on the basketball court was shocked. He didn't say a word, turned around and walked away dejectedly. I watched his back gradually going away, and I was so heartbroken that I couldn't breathe...
…
Suddenly a photo fell out of the diary.
It was an old photo.
In the photo, she leaned her head on the shoulder of Ji Xingyan, who was a head taller than her, and smiled happily...
His heart trembled slightly, and his fingertips stayed on this page.
Ji Xingyan looked out the car window. In the flower shop across the street, Yin Xiaying was arranging flowers with a smile, as pure as a beautiful gardenia. Her warm smile was as clear as the sky.
She seemed to always smile like this. No matter what happened, there was always a smile on her face, so happy, so pure, so warm, so brilliant, as if she was an angel on earth.
He looked at her, as if she was his lifelong wait, his only hope, and the brightest aurora in his heart.
Two hours later.
"We're leaving now." Sister Lin said with a generous smile, "Xia Ying, go home, the work is done!"
"Yes, Sister Lin." Xia Ying grinned beautifully.
"Is someone waiting for you?" Sister Lin looked across the street. "At first I saw you getting out of a car..."
"Yes." Xia Ying replied with a smile.
The thoughtful Sister Lin looked at Xia Ying with interest: "Boyfriend? Xia Ying is in love?"
"Ah..." Xia Ying cried softly, lowering her head somewhat embarrassedly, her hands twisted together behind her back, her cheeks as red as ripe apples.
Sister Lin smiled gently: "Let's go quickly, don't let your boyfriend wait anxiously..."
Xia Ying bowed politely, turned around gracefully, and walked across the street.
Seeing her coming, Ji Xingyan carefully opened the car door.
As soon as Xia Ying got into the car, he took out a string of marshmallows from behind him like a magic trick. The marshmallows were white, just like the white clouds floating in the sky.
She quickly snatched it with surprise: "How come there is this?"
"I changed."
"Really?" Xia Ying ate the marshmallows with relish. She didn't know that he had just walked a long way to buy them.
"Are you tired?" he asked softly.
Xia Ying ate while shaking her head: "Not tired, being able to work in a beautiful flower shop is the happiest thing in the world."
"You have loved these things since you were a child. You didn't join any clubs in school but joined the gardening club where no one else went. Yin Xiaying, I can't help but wonder if your cells are a little different from those of ordinary people!" Ji Xingyan said lightly, with an elegant and charming smile on her lips.
"I am different from ordinary people!" Xia Ying began to feel proud, her eyes shining. "If my cells were not different from ordinary people, how could I have made such a decision? How could I have studied at the best Xuansheng College in the city and become the only happy baby in Xuansheng College with a full scholarship..." She became happier and happier as she spoke, without noticing that his doting eyes were always on her .
"Am I very smart? Do I have more genius cells than you? Haha!" Xia Ying laughed proudly, her big eyes shining like stars.
Ji Xingyan shook his head helplessly: "Yes..." His Xia Ying was really outstanding, she was almost the best girl in the entire Xuansheng Academy, "What is your wish?" Every time he helped her make a wish, this time it was his turn to help her fulfill her wish...
"A wish?" Xia Ying looked at him doubtfully. His jade-like face had an indifferent expression and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.
"My wish is that you will always be healthy and smile brightly. You will be more handsome when you smile."
Ji Xingyan was stunned for a moment, and felt warm in his heart. He asked again: "What is your real wish?"
Xia Ying smiled even more brightly: "This is my real wish."
"Don't you think Xia Ying has a wish of her own?" Ji Xingyan looked at him seriously, her short brown hair covering his forehead. Because he lowered his head slightly, his short hair also covered his eyes.
She couldn't see the sadness in his eyes.
"Is it my own wish?" Xia Ying asked herself in a low voice. She began to look out the window unconsciously. The sky was blue, the clouds were white, and she smiled somewhat leisurely and ethereal.
"I want to have my own flower shop in a blue and green place, with cherry blossoms, gardenias, butterfly flowers, Clivia, hyacinths, and many, many beautiful star-like flowers..." She smiled at the blue sky, and her rosy cheeks looked particularly charming.
Slowly, the car stopped in front of Xia Ying's small apartment.
Xia Ying was about to get off the car when Ji Xingyan grabbed her arm and said, "Aren't you going back to live with me at Ji's house?"
Xia Ying shook her head: "Xingyan, I am not from the Ji family, so there is no need for me to live in the Ji family. Besides, I like my own warm little home..." She suddenly smiled, looking like an elf, "It's your birthday today, so there should be something special."
Her small apartment is clean.
The warm color surrounded the whole room. Although it was not very big, it made him feel strange. It was here. She had lived here for three years. She was so close, but he couldn't find her...
She was busy in the kitchen by herself, and he couldn't help laughing at the sight of her busyness.
…
Ji family study.
"Come and try it..." 10-year-old Xia Ying said coquettishly, shaking his arm. "This is the first time I made a cake myself. It looks good, doesn't it? Doesn't it smell good?"
The 12-year-old boy looked at the black mass in front of him, and his cold voice revealed his displeasure: "What is this? Is it the so-called cake you mentioned? Why is it so ugly?" As if he was mocking her, he looked at her coldly, "You gave me something so devoid of nutrition to eat?"
Xia Ying refused to give in. She moved closer to him and said with tears in her eyes, "Brother, good brother, today is your birthday. I finally made a cake for you..."
She wiped her nose and said, "This is chocolate, so it looks a little dark, but it tastes good. Why don't you try it... Don't you have to eat birthday cake on your birthday?"
He looked at her innocent eyes and hesitated.
Xia Ying picked up the plate of dark baked cake again: "Are you really not going to eat it?"
Ji Xingyan didn't answer.
"You really don't want to eat?" she asked again, her watery eyes filled with hope and expectation.
He still didn't speak.
"Forget it." Xia Ying was angry, her red cheeks puffed up with anger. "It's always like this. If you don't want to eat it, I'll eat it myself." After saying that, she turned and left, not wanting to pay any more attention to the ungrateful birthday boy.
She moved her steps slowly, and the feeling of grievance from the bottom of her heart made her eyes begin to turn red.
Almost to the door.
Xia Ying freed one hand to open the door.
Suddenly, a cold voice sounded in my ears: "Wait a moment."
"Huh?" Xia Ying stopped.
"If you don't cook well, I will never teach you how to do homework again."
"Yeah." Xia Ying laughed and ran to him excitedly again with an innocent smile.
…
He still couldn't forget the taste of that dark cake, bitter with a hint of sweetness...but it was the first cake he had ever eaten in his life.
Is this the special thing she was talking about?
There was a light sky blue cake on the dining table, with pure fruit cream and two tempting cherries on the cake. The air was filled with a faint cake aroma.
"Birthday cake?" Ji Xingyan looked at Xia Ying in disbelief. He really couldn't believe that this cake was made by her. "Something special?"
Xia Ying nodded. "Maybe it doesn't taste very good, but I made it according to the method in the book! It's not like the dark and sticky cake I made before! This one is made with fruit, which is very good for the body."
"Are you sure?" He still didn't believe it.
"Sure, you should believe in my genius..."
"Is that so?" Ji Xingyan smiled slightly. "It's not like I haven't eaten what you made before. The smell of that cake scares me."
"Really?" She remembered that this was clearly not the case. He seemed to be enjoying the meal very much.
Seeing her complicated and lovely expression, Ji Xingyan felt warm in his heart. He took a bite and looked up at her again: "It seems not bad."
"Really?" Xia Ying looked at him excitedly, "Is it really that good?"
Ji Xingyan nodded again and took another bite. The sweet taste flowed into his heart. If only he could stay like this forever, and watch her happy face so closely, it would be great...
A cozy little apartment.
Sweet little cakes.
Smiling Xia Ying.
He suddenly felt that he was so happy.
It’s great that his Xia Ying is right by his side.
It was evening and it was getting dark.
He stood face to face with her.
The wind chimes at the door jingled in the wind.
She smiled.
He smiled too.
Her smile is full of warmth.
There was also a hint of tenderness in his smile, as if his tenderness had melted into the gentle evening breeze, and even the wind had become gentle.
They looked at each other quietly, no one spoke.
a long time.
Ji Xingyan asked her softly, "Are you really not going back to live at the Ji family?"
Xia Ying nodded.
"You don't want to live with me?"
"No." Xia Ying raised her smiling face, "I like living here."
"Really?" Ji Xingyan didn't believe what she said, "Do you really like being here?"
"I like it." Xia Ying stuck out her tongue mischievously, "Go back early, it's almost dark, you have to take good care of yourself!"
"Again..."
"I'm not chasing you away. It's too late to go back and the weather will be very cold. You have to fulfill my wish and stay healthy." She smiled so much that her eyes narrowed like the moon.
"Okay." Ji Xingyan's heart skipped a beat and he turned away feeling somewhat disappointed.
Beautiful night.
The bright moonlight sprinkled in front of the door. Xia Ying sat barefoot on the cold floor with her back against the wall, smiling as she looked at the withered cherry tree: "Happy birthday, Ji Xingyan."
Same night.
Ji Xingyan stood coldly under the tall cherry tree, his slender shadow cast on the grass. He looked absentmindedly at the top of the cherry tree, where the enchanting and beautiful ribbons were tightly wrapped around the slender branches, and whispered, "Yin Xiaying, you are mine."
The genius girl from Xuansheng Academy!
The unparalleled legend of Xuansheng Academy!
Yin Xiaying actually got full marks again!
It's incredible!
She was only a first-year student, yet she could get full marks in every examination. Whether it was on the credit list or the honor list, her name seemed to always be shining high at the top.
The classroom was already noisy before I even entered it.
"She actually got full marks again."
"What on earth is her brain made of? Her grades are so outstanding..."
"She is simply a legend in our Xuansheng Academy! No matter what she is, she is very powerful..."
…
Xia Ying took a breath, hugged the book tightly in her arms and walked into the classroom.
"Ah, she's coming--" Someone screamed, and the girls all rushed to the classroom door and surrounded Xia Ying tightly. Gu Yixiu took a lot of effort to pull her out of the crowd.
"Your popularity in the academy seems to have surpassed that of Senior Xichen and your brother..." Gu Yixiu shook her head helplessly, opened her notebook and began to record.
"Xiaoying, as my best friend, as the vice president of the student council, and as the only one in the whole academy with a full scholarship, why are you so outstanding?"
"Hehe..." Xia Ying scratched her hair awkwardly, "If Yixue is willing to work hard, she can also become very powerful."
He is so outstanding too.
At that time, he was born with an unconcealable brilliance, and his academic performance was so excellent that people once thought he was a boy genius. He had completed all high school courses when he was in the third year of junior high school.
It was also because of this that Xia Ying started to study hard after leaving the Ji family. She hoped that one day she could become excellent and he would no longer call her stupid...
At this moment, the noisy classroom suddenly became quiet. All the students stopped discussing and looked towards the classroom door.
An incomparably brilliant and dazzling light is gathered in one.
He stood outside, his eyes seeing her through the crowd, he smiled slightly, as elegant and noble as a god... He was wearing a white casual hat and a well-fitting white school uniform, standing there, just looking at her.
He looks extremely majestic like this.
"It's Senior Ji Xingyan..."
“So handsome…”
"Iceberg Prince..."
"He's actually smiling, so handsome..."
"What should I do? What should I do? I'm almost suffocating..."
She also saw him, put down her book and walked over, smiling faintly, "Why are you here?"
"Come with me."
"What?"
"Come with me to a place." The tone did not allow for disobedience. Before Xia Ying could answer, Ji Xingyan had already taken her hand and said, "As a reward for getting first place, come with me to a place."
Bai Xichen had just walked out of the student union office when he saw them holding hands. The happy smile on Yin Xiaying's face stung his eyes, and he turned his face away in pain.
She... wasn't his at all.
And he seemed to never be able to touch her happiness...
There is a pink bicycle parked at the school gate, decorated with beautiful baby's breath that look like stars. When the wind blows, the petals fall to the ground, and the small wind chimes hanging on the bicycle also jingle.
"Let's go by bike." Ji Xingyan smiled confidently. Just as he was about to go for a ride, Xia Ying stopped him. He looked back at her and frowned slightly, "Xia Ying..."
Xia Ying shook her head and said, "Don't do this."
"ah……"
"Don't take risks. I don't want you to ride a bike. I don't want you to do these exercises. Your body won't allow it!" Xia Ying held his wrist firmly, her bright eyes stubborn and solemn.
"I want to take Xia Ying with me, I..."
"I don't want to." She looked at his face affectionately, "I don't want you to carry me. I don't want to see you suffer, even a little bit, so..." Xia Ying grinned and said, "So, let me carry you."
"What?"
"I'll give you a ride, okay? Let me give you a ride." After saying that, Xia Ying skillfully got on the bike and shouted to Ji Xingyan who was still in a daze beside her, "Hurry up, just tell me where you are! Ji Xingyan, this time, I'll take you flying."
This time, I'll take you flying.
This time, she was in front and he was behind.
She took him flying.
The wheels were turning rapidly, and countless tiny petals on the car were floating in the wind all over the path. The wind chimes were jingling, as if they were also singing a happy song in the wind.
Sitting in the back seat, Ji Xingyan hugged her. After a long period of loneliness and indifference, he longed for her warmth. He wanted to be by her side, to have her smile and all her joy.
"How long will it take to get there?" Yin Xiaying complained. She was riding hard. Moreover, she was carrying Ji Xingyan, who was heavier than she was. She had ridden such a long distance that her sweat was almost soaking her clothes.
"immediately."
Sure enough, the path became wider and wider, and the endless lawn came into her sight, followed by the fresh and fragrant smell of grass, mixed with the fragrance of various flowers. Xia Ying actually thought she had come to another world.
Ji Xingyan jumped out from the back seat.
"It's so beautiful." Xia Ying also jumped off her bicycle. She smiled happily, jumped, and spun on the lawn. "Ah - what a beautiful place, the sky is blue, the grass is green, and there are butterflies. Look, there are butterflies..."
He stood not far from her and looked at her, forcing a faint smile. He looked at her smile, which was as pure as the most beautiful cherry blossoms in the world, and his indifferent heart was filled with happiness and satisfaction.
She is his hope.
"Is this the place?" Is this the place he said he brought her to?
Ji Xingyan nodded: "Follow me."
Seeing him turn and walk in another direction, Xia Ying, who was still jumping in the same place, quickly followed him.
"Where to? Where are we going?"
Ji Xingyan seemed not to hear and continued walking forward.
"Where are you going? Wait for me..." Xia Ying said loudly while chasing him from behind, but he walked too fast and she seemed unable to catch up.
Sudden--
Ji Xingyan stopped without any warning.
"Bang!"
Because Xia Ying ran too fast, she accidentally tripped on a stone, and her whole body leaned forward -
It’s over, it’s over, she is finished now, and she will definitely fall miserably in front of him this time.
However, things didn't seem to be what she thought.
Xia Ying suddenly came to her senses, raised her head, and met those dark and deep eyes. She was so shocked that she froze in place. Didn't she fall? She shook her head to herself, not noticing Ji Xingyan's smiling eyes.
"Are you still ready to lie in my arms?"
"ah……"
"It seems that Xia Ying likes my embrace very much and doesn't want to let go..." He smiled, and that elegant smile was as gentle as the spring breeze.
"What?" Yin Xiaying was stunned again. When she came to her senses, she was surprised to find herself in Ji Xingyan's arms. This posture was too ambiguous!
Her face suddenly turned red, and her beautiful big eyes kept blinking. Her cute expression made Ji Xingyan couldn't help laughing out loud.
"You smiled..."
Hearing her words, Ji Xingyan immediately stopped laughing and returned to his usual indifference and arrogance, but his handsome face turned red. He was like a panicked child, pulling Xia Ying's hand and saying, "Hurry up, it will be dark if you don't leave now."
"Haha..." Xia Ying laughed happily.
"Don't laugh."
"Yes."
"Don't laugh."
"I just want to laugh, I just want to laugh, haha..."
"Yin Xiaying..."
"I just want to laugh. I just want to laugh. Let's see what you can do to me..."
Xia Ying always thought that the wish might take a very long time to come true.
But now she saw a transparent glass greenhouse standing on the green lawn. The blue sky and white clouds were reflected in the crystal-like glass house, like a huge natural curtain, so beautiful and dreamy.
"This is where I want to bring you."
"Glass greenhouse?"
"Yes, it's a glass flower house that belongs exclusively to Xia Ying."
"Mine?"
Ji Xingyan took out the key and opened the door of the glass greenhouse neatly. Then he stood by the door and looked at her: "Come in and take a look."
Filled with joy and excitement, Xia Ying tiptoed over and stopped at the door of the greenhouse. She hesitated, "Does it really belong to me?"
Ji Xingyan frowned slightly: "You don't believe me?"
"No." Xia Ying immediately denied it. "I feel that this place is as beautiful as a dream. Everything here will break easily like colorful bubbles..."
Her sad tone and eyes made Ji Xingyan's heart ache.
"Look, there are cherry blossoms, gardenias, butterfly flowers, Clivia, hyacinths, and lavender... Summer cherry blossoms, can you smell it? The fragrance in the entire glass flower room, in this world, is only summer cherry blossoms."
A thin mist began to form in Xia Ying's eyes.
…
"Am I very smart? Do I have more genius cells than you? Haha!" Xia Ying laughed proudly, her big eyes shining like stars.
Ji Xingyan shook his head helplessly: "Yes..." His Xia Ying was really outstanding, she was almost the best girl in the entire Xuansheng Academy, "What is your wish?" Every time he helped her make a wish, this time it was his turn to help her fulfill her wish...
"A wish?" Xia Ying looked at him doubtfully. His jade-like face had an indifferent expression and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.
"My wish is that you will always be healthy and smile brightly. You will be more handsome when you smile."
Ji Xingyan was stunned for a moment, and felt warm in his heart. He asked again: "What is your real wish?"
Xia Ying smiled even more brightly: "This is my real wish."
"Don't you think Xia Ying has a wish of her own?" Ji Xingyan looked at him seriously, her short brown hair covering his forehead. Because he lowered his head slightly, his short hair also covered his eyes.
She couldn't see the sadness in his eyes.
"Is it my own wish?" Xia Ying asked herself in a low voice. She began to look out the window unconsciously. The sky was blue, the clouds were white, and she smiled somewhat leisurely and ethereal.
"I want to have my own flower shop in a blue and green place, with cherry blossoms, gardenias, butterfly flowers, Clivia, hyacinths, and many, many beautiful star-like flowers..." She smiled at the blue sky, and her rosy cheeks looked particularly charming.
…
This is her wish.
He actually remembered her wish and every word she said...
I kept looking to the end of the glass greenhouse. At that end, there were large fields of bright red and yellow tulips and purple lavender all over the sky. The butterfly flowers were also blooming with happy smiles among the flowers.
Ji Xingyan held her hand and placed a bunch of keys in her palm: "One bunch of keys for you, one bunch for me. From now on, this place only belongs to you and me, only to Xia Ying and me..."
"Why are you so nice to me..."
"Because you are Xia Ying!"
"Why are you so nice to Xia Ying..."
"Because..." Ji Xingyan looked at Xia Ying, "I want to be good to Xia Ying and make her happy! I hope Xia Ying is the happiest girl in the world, so I want to keep Xia Ying by my side... Maybe my body won't allow me to stay with you forever, but I still want to do my best to make Xia Ying smile and make her happy... Xia Ying's smile is the most beautiful smile in the world, a clear smile that no one can compare to."
Xia Ying gently closed her eyes, and a crystal teardrop dripped down her cheek onto the back of his hand, spreading into the shape of a tiny cherry blossom. Suddenly, a cool breeze seeped into his palm.
"So, no matter what happens, you must stay by my side and don't let me lose you, okay? You know, my fragile heart can't bear the pain of you leaving me again..." Ji Xingyan hugged her body and held her tightly in his arms, as if he wanted to merge her into his own body.
The air is quiet.
All I could hear was the sound of the breeze brushing against my face.
The rich floral fragrance spreads throughout the glass greenhouse.
He hugged her as if she were his most precious baby.
"I like you, I will always be with you, I will always think of you, I will always pray for you, and I will always leave my most sincere wishes to you..." Xia Ying pursed her lips, her thin body trembling slightly, and her cool tears soaked his clothes, just like soaking his lonely heart.
"What did you say?"
"I like you, Ji Xingyan."
"Say that again?"
"I like you, Ji Xingyan, I like you." Xia Ying raised her tear-stained face, her eyes flashing with moving stars and her cheeks flushed.
"The person Xia Ying likes is really me, Ji Xingyan, not Bai Xichen?" Afraid that what he heard was just an illusion, he asked uncertainly.
Xia Ying nodded: "Yes."
Her firm tone made him feel extremely reassured.
Ji Xingyan smiled, gently held her hand again, and led her to the center of the greenhouse. Standing in a sea of purple flowers, he looked at her affectionately: "There is one more thing I want to give you..."
He took out a small gift box from his clothes and opened it. A beautiful ribbon was quietly placed in the silk-wrapped gift box. The light pink lace headband was printed with an enchanting cherry blossom pattern, and each flower was embroidered in an extremely delicate and soft manner.
It's like the most gorgeous and perfect gift prepared for your loved one.
The light pink lace headband was wrapped around his slender fingers, and Ji Xingyan gently and carefully wrapped the headband around her black hair, tightly wrapping it around and around, as if he wanted to tie her to his side forever with the lace headband and never let her go.
Leaning against his chest, Xia Ying didn't dare to move at all. She listened to the loud yet slightly disordered heartbeat coming from within her clothes, and even her breathing became unnatural.
It's almost reaching the end...
Ji Xingyan skillfully tied a beautiful bow. He lowered his head to look at her, a faint warm smile on his lips, and his deep eyes contained the tenderness of the sea. Suddenly, he leaned down and got close to her face.
This moment.
Xia Ying's heart almost stopped beating.
He raised the corner of his mouth slightly, lifted her chin gently, kissed her right cheek, and his warm breath hit her ear: "I like you too, Yin Xiaying."
Brush the ground——
Xia Ying's face immediately turned red like the sun. A strange feeling surged through her body. The heat on her face made her lower her head in embarrassment.
Ji Xingyan’s smile became even more intense.
What a beautiful and lovely summer cherry blossom!
"From now on, without my permission, you are not allowed to untie it at any time, and you are not allowed to let your hair down in front of anyone." He said to her in a very domineering tone.
Yin Xiaying lowered her head and nodded obediently, not noticing his eyes filled with tenderness.
It was as if I had returned to three years ago. It was the same as then, with the same lace headband, the same her, the same him, and the same feelings for her...
"Shouldn't you show some small appreciation in return?"
What did he say?
Yin Xiaying raised her head in shock and asked, "What did you say?"
"I've done so much for you, don't you even want to kiss me..." Ji Xingyan covered her chest and said with some hurt, her originally bright eyes suddenly dimmed, "Do you really like me, Xia Ying..."
When she heard him say this, her body suddenly stiffened and she quickly explained: "I didn't lie to you, I really like you."
"Then why..."
Suddenly——
Xia Ying stood on tiptoe and gently kissed his jade-like face. She asked him shyly, "Is it ok?"
"not enough."
At that moment, Ji Xingyan's arms were around her waist, holding her tightly to his chest. His burning palms could feel her thin body trembling slightly through her thin clothes.
He bent down and kissed her lips.
It was the purest, gentlest and most affectionate kiss in the world.
He kissed her.
She started kissing him too.
It seems as if time has stopped at this wonderful moment.
The fragrance of various flowers wafts through the glass greenhouse.
The light pink bow also seemed to be flying and spinning in her hair, which was his lifelong wait and promise to her.
