Chapter 169 Graduation Ceremony (1)
Jin Shiyue loosened his grip on her wrist, put his strong arms around her waist, and whispered: "Xu Jingxi is my friend's fiancée. My aunt knows that friend's parents. She loves her house very much and treats Xu Jingxi as her daughter." Take care of her and let me take her to the tea room.”
It's rare for him to say so much useful information at once.
Lian Li's eyelashes trembled when she heard this.
Jin Shiyue said again: "They didn't give me anything to eat. I've been hungry all day. Can you come with me to eat?"
Who dares to let Mr. Jin go hungry?
Knowing that he was pretending, Lian Li still asked: "You have hands and feet, can't you feed yourself?"
Jin Shiyue raised the corners of his lips silently and said in a low and sultry voice: "Of course the food will taste better if I eat it with you."
Lian Li leaned back, looked up at him, and said suspiciously: "Isn't the friend you are talking about yourself?"
"Can't you say a nice word to me?" Jin Shiyue laughed angrily, put his palm against her waist, and pinched it gently.
Lian Li hid sensitively, "Don't pinch me."
Jin Shiyue smiled with his dark eyes, put her hand in his palm and squeezed it carelessly: "Are you still jealous?"
"I'm not jealous to begin with." Lian Li said.
She just doesn't want to be lied to.
Jin Shiyue grabbed her thin wrist and pulled her towards the elevator.
The eldest young master was used to being domineering, so Lian Li didn't resist and allowed him to take her away.
When taking the elevator, Lian Li looked at him in the mirror: "Aren't you busy?"
Jin Shiyue lowered his eyes to look at her, and the words 'you are so free' were clearly revealed in her expression. He simply admitted it and said lazily: "Have you ever seen any dandy doing a serious job?"
The wealth that the dandy children have is more than they can spend in several lifetimes, let alone the Second Young Master Jin. For some children of powerful families, if they don't cause trouble, they are probably doing their jobs properly.
Lian Li blinked: "Oh."
Finally, she spoke again: "Didn't Brother Zhong Yang organize a vacation to the island recently? Why didn't you go because you were not doing your job?"
"What should I do if you're not here?" Jin Shiyue said nonchalantly.
It seemed like he said it casually, but it made Lian Li look up at him, "Will you come with me wherever I go?"
Jin Shiyue put the copy in his trousers pocket with one hand and looked sideways: "Where can you go?"
"I don't know." Lian Li said seriously, "Maybe the moon, maybe Mars."
The more Jin Shi heard this, the corner of his mouth curled up into a casual smile: "Why don't you say you became an immortal?"
He leaned over, blocking the camera with his tall body, his deep silhouette approaching her, his black eyes staring straight into hers: "Huh? Junior sister."
The voice is low and magnetic, pleasant and flirtatious.
Lian Li's heart trembled slightly and she looked away, pretending that nothing happened and stopped chatting with him.
After getting out of the elevator, the two of them went to the VIP box.
The manager was keen on recommending dishes to Mr. Jin. Lian Li was listening and found that the dishes Jin Shiyue ordered were basically her favorite.
The two of them have been living together for a while, so it's not surprising that he knows her preferences.
Meng Yi and Wen Zhixing got married last month, but Lian Li didn't go there. Firstly, they had a normal relationship with Meng Yi; secondly, the Meng family was a wealthy family, and the Wen family was not only rich, the guests they entertained were extremely wealthy.
Lian Li was not familiar with the bride and groom, and attending the wedding was just for fun, so when Jin Shiyue asked her to go, she firmly refused.
Lian Li opened her phone, swiped a few times, and saw wedding photos posted by others in the WeChat group.
She clicked in, looked at it out of boredom, and found a familiar figure.
Jin Shiyue and Xu Jingxi.
Perhaps because she was worried about stealing the spotlight from the bride, Xu Jingxi wore a rather simple and elegant rose gray dress with light makeup, which reminded Lian Li of what everyone on the Internet said about her: roses growing in ruins. This is just to praise Xu Jingxi’s spirit as a war reporter, not the environment in which she grew up.
Xu Jingxi, as the daughter of the director of the market, undoubtedly grew up surrounded by stars.
Children who grow up surrounded by love always seem to be easier to like.
You won’t be too cautious, you won’t be overly cautious, and it doesn’t matter if you make a mistake, there will always be people behind you.
During Lian Li's sensitive period of youth, she once felt sorry for herself. Just like the protagonist in Maupassant's short story "The Necklace", she was conceited, unwilling and resentful of the surrounding living environment.
But what she pities is not the external conditions, but the inner emotions.
I envy others that their parents pick them up from school, and I envy others that they can go to Disneyland with their parents during the holidays; I feel embarrassed because others ask about my parents, and all kinds of negative emotions arise from the embarrassment.
As Xue Shufan said before, when girls encounter problems, they always like to find problems within themselves.
Lian Li once thought before that her parents left her one by one because she was not good enough.
Later, she got out of the prisoner's dilemma and no longer doubted herself.
Please...you...collect 6...9...books...!
Lian Li faced life with a different mentality, which blocked emotions and perceptions to a certain extent.
When she saw Jin Shiyue and Xu Jingxi standing together, she suddenly felt some indescribable subtle feelings in her heart.
Obviously when I saw Jin Yanting and Duan Shiqing together, I didn't have this subtle feeling.
Can't tell why.
Lian Li logged out of WeChat and checked the calendar. Princeton started at the end of August.
Jin Shiyue ordered a cup of hot milk for Lian Li. When the waiter brought it, she was looking thoughtfully at her phone when he tapped the table twice with his fingers.
"I'm so distracted, what are you thinking about?"
"No." Lian Li put away her phone.
She never thought about ending up with Jin Shiyue, as long as he didn't provoke anyone else during this period. As for what happens to him in the future, she has no control over it.
Jin Shiyue's dark eyes fell on Lian Li's face. She was obviously absent-minded and didn't notice his eyes at all.
If he was happy when Lian Li lost his temper just now, now that she calmed down, his heart sank to the extreme.
The two of them had their own concerns, so the meal was extremely quiet.
Although the two of them usually keep silent, their silence can be weird or not.
Quarrel? Not really.
What a contradiction. Also explained clearly.
Returning to the Xishan Courtyard in the evening, Lian Li prepared a speech for the graduation ceremony in the study. After typing, she stretched and went back to the bedroom to take a shower and go to bed.
The floor-to-ceiling windows of the room were open, and the evening breeze blew slowly, and the gauze curtains floated over the corner of the Italian-style lounge chair.
Jin Shiyue leaned back lazily on the lounge chair, held the cigarette to his lips, and took a puff carelessly.
Through the green smoke and white mist, Lian Li couldn't see his expression clearly.
It was undeniable that she had a fondness for him that could not be explained in other ways. Even if she doesn't know him very well.
Lian Li walked over, closed the window smaller, and asked him in a normal tone: "Aren't you going to take a shower?"
Jin Shiyue didn't reply. He stretched his arm to the ashtray to put out the cigarette, then grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his arms.
Lian Li was unprepared and fell directly on him, her eyes blank: "What are you doing?"
Jin Shiyue stared at her for a moment, and said in a cold voice: "Invited Jin Yanting to your graduation ceremony?"
Big brother discovered the countdown.
