Chapter 164 Who does she think he is?
A substitute?
Did he think he was acting in a TV series?
Xie Changyan didn't take Ji Tingyang's words seriously. He stirred the small spoon in the coffee cup casually and raised his eyes to look at the woman sitting in front of him.
She held a kitten in her arms. She first touched the kitten's ears, then ravaged its belly. She looked at the kitten, which was so comfortable under her palm that it kept meowing. The smile inside is bright.
Her smile was as curved as a crescent moon, and she lifted the kitten to her cheek and rubbed it gently.
No need to guess, Xie Changyan could also sense that she liked this kitten very much.
“Is this the place you said you really wanted to come to?” He looked at the woman teasing the kitten with a faint smile on his lips.
Long before the weekend came, Lin Xu sent him a message and asked him to go out and meet at the weekend, saying that there was a place he wanted to visit very much.
Lin Xu raised the corners of her lips and a smile spread across her face, "Of course, many people on the Internet are recommending this cat cafe. Look how cute this kitten is."
She put the kitten on the table, held its little hand and made two cute gestures towards Xie Changyan.
The kitten seemed to be unwilling to accept her ravage anymore, and made two meows of resistance, then struggled to escape from her hands and off the table, and quickly hid among the cats nearby.
"Ah, it escaped..." Lin Xu called out with regret.
The next moment, another fearless kitten jumped onto her lap and acted cute towards her.
Lin Xu soon forgot about the previous kitten and couldn't put it down holding the new kitten in his arms.
Xie Changyan suddenly remembered that time when she was having barbecue, she saw a stray cat from a distance, and she chased it excitedly.
However, the stray cat ran too fast, and the kiss that originally belonged to the kitten fell on his lips.
Thinking of this, the smile in Xie Changyan's eyes deepened, "Like kittens?"
"Yes, I wanted to raise one before, but unfortunately I never had the chance." Lin Xuyu He said angrily.
At that time, Ji Tingyang was just a few months old. She was worried that cat hair would affect the baby's breathing, and wanted to wait until he grew up before raising a cat.
But then Ji Zeqiu and Ji Yuqiao came along, and the idea of raising a cat kept being put off, and in the end they couldn't raise a kitten.
“I saw a vendor selling Scottish cats abroad before, and you said you wanted to buy them for me, but you forgot all about it when you got busy.” Lin Xu puffed up his cheeks and said angrily.
Xie Changyan's hand while stirring the coffee paused, "Me?"
Lin Xu saw the confusion in his eyes, and realized a second later that he didn't remember these things, and hurriedly explained, " No, I’m talking about someone else.”
Someone else?
Who does she remember him as?
Xie Changyan lowered his eyes, looked at the dark coffee in the cup, and curled his fingers slightly.
Inexplicable.
The word substitute flashed through his mind.
But looking at Lin Xu's charming smile, Xie Changyan suppressed this ridiculous idea.
The two spent an afternoon at the cat cafe. Before driving away, Xie Changyan handed her the gift box in the car.
"What is this?" Lin Xu took it in surprise.
There lies a pair of earrings inlaid with pink diamonds, shining softly under the sunlight.
“Would you like to try the gift I gave you?” Xie Changyan said.
Lin Xu replaced the old pair of earrings on his ears, then put his arms around his neck and leaned his head very close to his, "Does it look good?"
Xie Changyan's fingertips caressed the shell of her ear, then slid to her cheek, gently lifted her chin, and kissed her lightly.
“It’s very beautiful.” His voice was a little hoarse.
Lin Xu laughed softly, "Is this an anniversary gift? This is not enough."
Today is the anniversary of their 10th anniversary. In the past, quarterly banquets were always I will prepare a lot of surprise gifts for her and make this day a grand one. When she saw the date a few days ago, she was even vaguely looking forward to it, hoping that although he had forgotten her, he might instinctively remember that today was a special day.
The moment she received the gift, Lin Xu couldn't help but be happy.
The hand caressing her cheek paused for a moment, and Xie Changyan frowned slightly, "Anniversary?"
"..." Lin Xu.
Oops.
I accidentally said what was on my mind again.
The annoyance in her eyes was fleeting. She opened her eyes wide and tried to fool her with an innocent expression, "Ji... commemorates the first day we came to the cat cafe."
Xie Changyan caught her voice He felt guilty, and the mood in his heart sank.
Ji Tingyang's words echoed in his mind again -
"Do you really think she likes you?"
"You are just a substitute."< br>
He knew that he shouldn't take Ji Tingyang's words to heart, but these words were like flies that penetrated everywhere. Whenever he noticed something strange, these words would always pop up in his mind and replayed over and over again.
Seeing Xie Changyan staring at him without speaking for a long time, Lin Xu suddenly felt nervous, "What, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing, I was just thinking..." Xie Changyan suppressed the discomfort in his heart. , holding up the broken hair beside her ears with his fingers, "Do you want to commemorate our first meeting, first time watching a movie, and so on."
His deep voice whispered in her ears The voice on the edge sounded, with a seductive hoarseness, "First kiss."
Lin Xu's cheeks suddenly turned red, "Well, it's not impossible if you want to commemorate it."
"Then I'll pick you up tomorrow to celebrate the anniversary."
"Tomorrow?"
"The 30th anniversary of the first time I watched a movie."
"Not tomorrow. , I have other arrangements." Lin Xu was slightly distressed.
Ji Yuqiao is going to the next city tomorrow to participate in the national mathematics competition. The teacher will lead the team and take the high-speed rail there, but after all, it is far away, and she still wants to see her off at the high-speed rail station.
the next day.
Ji Tingyang, a part-time driver, sent Lin Xu to the high-speed rail station.
"Lin Xu, did you really come to see me off?!" Ji Yuqiao ran over and put his arms around her neck, jumping up and down excitedly, "You are so kind."
" Did you forget that there is someone next to you?" A light tone came from the side.
"You also want a hug?" Ji Yuqiao glanced at Ji Tingyang, then hummed and turned away, "Unless you unfreeze your credit card and return my living expenses to me."
If it weren't for her second brother and Lin Xu, she would have starved to death during this period.
"After thawing, will you spend money on Xiao Yu again?" Ji Tingyang looked at her.
"...No, don't talk nonsense." Ji Yuqiao retorted in a low voice, but was afraid of being heard by Xiao Yu who was not far away, so she glanced at him secretly.
However, after seeing the girl next to him, he looked stunned for a moment.
Just like Lin Xu came to cheer her off, Wen Li also arrived at some unknown time and was whispering something to Xiao Yu.
Perhaps noticing the gaze falling on her, Wen Li followed his gaze and looked over.
At first glance, she saw Ji Tingyang.
