Chapter 290 Returning to Twenty Years Ago (25)
Facing the gaze of last season’s banquet, Lin Xu’s eyes flickered, a hint of guilt appeared on his face, and he smiled dryly: “I... I’m joking. "
Ji Yanli smiled, his eyes lingering on her, "Really, why does it sound like a pity to me?"
"Absolutely not!" Shaking his head wildly, his eyes were firm.
A chuckle escaped from Ji Yanli's throat, he took her wrist and walked out,
"Go, where?" Her voice was trembling.
"I'll take you to try it out and see whether Xiao Xianrou's abdominal muscles are better or mine." Ji Yanli laughed in a low voice.
Ji Lanyue watched Lin Xu being pulled away by Ji Banli without tears, and silently prayed for her in her heart.
I hope my mother will not be tortured too much by my father.
She thought silently in her mind, and when she turned around, she saw Zhao Jiayan not far away.
Zhao Jiayan looked at her with a stiff expression, and she was a little surprised, "Are you here to find me?"
"I want to come over and help you work together." Zhao Jiayan said.
Ji Lanyue's eyes curled up, and when she was about to say something, she heard Ji Tingyang say to her: "Let's go and receive the guests. And don't you want to like a few more handsome guys? I'll give them to you right now." Introduce. "
"My requirements are very high, at least as handsome and mature as my father." Ji Lanyue turned around and curled her lips at Ji Tingyang.
Seeing that Ji Lanyue was about to leave with Ji Tingyang, Zhao Jiayan immediately stopped her, "Wait a minute..."
He looked a little flustered and anxious.
Ji Lanyue turned back in confusion.
Zhao Jiayan pursed his lips, a moment of struggle flashed in his eyes, and finally, as if he had finally made up his mind, he took her hand and left.
"What's wrong with you? Did something happen?" His pace was a little hurried, and Ji Lanyue could only keep up hastily.
Only on the deserted balcony did Zhao Jiayan let go of her hand.
Just now, when she heard that Ji Tingyang was going to introduce a boy to her, he impulsively pulled her away, wanting to confess his inner thoughts to her.
But at this time, Zhao Jiayan began to hesitate again, "I...I have something to tell you."
Ji Lanyue rubbed her wrist and didn't take it seriously. He said: "What are you talking about?"
Cold sweat oozed from Zhao Jiayan's palms, and the sticky touch made him even more uneasy, and his fingers began to tremble unconsciously, "I want to know... what do you think? Mine?"
"What do you think of you?" Ji Lanyue blinked, not understanding why he asked this, but still said truthfully, "A friend with good grades, a very smart mind, and a very loyal person. Fortunately, you protected me when I made mistakes in the past, otherwise I would..."
Zhao Jiayan's eyes dimmed.
Friends?
Just friends?
“But I don’t want to be your friend.” Zhao Jiayan’s voice was as light as a feather.
Ji Lanyue was stunned for a moment, then a look of horror appeared on her face, "Aren't you friends with me? Why?"
"Is it because I refused the last time you asked me to go out, or is it because I went out with my friends and used you as a shield? Could it be..."
"I like you."< br>
Ji Lanyue turned her head crazily, thinking of many reasons why he wanted to break up with her.
However, as soon as Zhao Jiayan's words came out, Ji Lanyue choked before she could finish her words.
"What...what did you say?" She was stunned for a moment.
After taking the first step, Zhao Jiayan's anxiety completely calmed down.
He looked at Ji Lanyue with a serious look on his face, "I can't tell when it started. By the time I found out, I already fell in love with you."
Ji Lanyue His fingers were intertwined with each other, with a look of embarrassment on his face, "But, I have always regarded you as a friend."
"But I don't want to be your friend all the time." Zhao Jiayan said. Ji Lanyue looked away and whispered: "I'm sorry."
Zhao Jiayan was not surprised at all by this result.
He always knew that Ji Lanyue only regarded him as a friend and had no other ideas at all.
He also thought about taking his time. As long as they get along for a long time, one day she will like him.
But when Zhao Jiayan heard that Ji Tingyang was going to introduce a boy to her, he suddenly panicked.
He understood that some things just couldn't wait.
He also knew that his confession would only result in rejection.
"It doesn't matter, I just want to tell you what I think." Zhao Jiayan raised the corners of his lips slightly, "I will work hard on my impression in your heart, from a childhood playmate to a suitable partner. . "
Ji Lanyue nodded, her voice stammering, "Okay... I'll go and work first, otherwise my elder brother will call me again..."
"I'll go with you." Zhao Jiayan followed her out.
"No, no, no, I can go there by myself." Ji Lanyue shook her head like a rattle, turned around and hurried away.
Zhao Jiayan looked at her frightened look, paused, and sighed softly.
However, I don’t regret confessing to her.
Ji Lanyue trotted back to Ji Tingyang, her red lips slightly opened, breathing heavily.
"Why are you running? There is a ghost chasing you behind?" Ji Tingyang raised his eyebrows.
"No, no." Ji Lanyue felt guilty.
"With so many guests here, I don't know how to be more cautious." Ji Tingyang frowned.
"I'm very stable." Ji Lanyue retorted unconvinced.
Ji Tingyang was too lazy to argue with her. He glanced at the time and said to her: "Since you are so steady, then come up with me to speak."
Ji Lanyue's cheeks instantly collapsed. came down and said, "I don't want to go. It's so embarrassing for so many people to watch you acting like a monkey."
Although Ji Lanyue didn't want to go, when she got to the stage and faced everyone's gaze, her posture seemed calm and calm. .
So when Xiao Yu saw her elegant and graceful appearance, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Xiao Yu opened a studio with a senior he knew before, and a collaborator gave them an invitation.
With the past idea of expanding contacts, Xiao Yu came, but he did not expect to see Ji Lanyue here, and he was still talking on the stage.
While he was thinking this, he heard the voices of others talking.
"Who is the woman above? How can Ji let her speak on such an important occasion?"
"Her name is Ji Lanyue. She is the youngest of the Ji family. Don't offend her, otherwise the Ji family will not let you go."
"It turns out she is Mr. Ji's sister. Ah, no wonder."
Xiao Yu was even more surprised.
It’s not because she is a member of the Ji family, but because her name is Ji Lanyue.
As long as she participated in various competitions in school, the first place would always be Ji Lanyue.
Xiao Yu was deeply impressed by the name of this person who often dominated the competition, but he had no chance to get to know this person.
I just never expected that this girl turned out to be Ji Lanyue.
