Reserve the sun
Chapter 23
As a good young man who was born under the red flag and grew up in the spring breeze, Ji Yu never thought that he would be proposed in such a strange situation.Looking at the twelve or thirteen-year-old girl in front of him, Ji Yu really didn't know what to do.The calmness, calmness, decisiveness and decisiveness in dealing with Elizabeth just now were all thrown into the sky. I couldn't utter a single sound, so I could only subconsciously turn my head to look at Jiang Liu who had been standing behind me, hoping that he could give me some advice. sexual opinion.
But obviously, Jiang Liu has no experience in dealing with similar situations. He was even more shocked than Ji Yu, the person who was proposed. reflection.
If he couldn't get the response he wanted, Ji Yu could only make a living by himself.
He turned his head and smiled and looked at Mei Lin who had been focusing on him for a long time. This girl was very beautiful, like all European and American girls, although she was only twelve or thirteen years old, she already had the charm of a woman compared to Chinese girls.Merlin's eyes are like dolls, and the flickering eyelashes are dense and long. With those persistent eyes, Ji Yu has more patience than before for no reason.
"Meilin, why do you want to marry me, just because I'm handsome?" Ji Yu's tone was not perfunctory, warm and soft, which seemed completely different from the aggressive person just now.
Merlin's standing posture was very standard, and he didn't have the bad habit of hunchback at all, just like a cute Christmas tree.Her eyes were slightly higher than Ji Yu who was sitting on the sofa, and she bent her neck slightly, and Merlin said seriously: "You are very handsome, not only your appearance, but also your ability and wisdom, these are also very handsome. Let The kind of handsomeness that makes people's heart flutter! Isn't this reason enough?"
Being praised so earnestly by a little girl, Ji Yu's ears turned red, "Thank you for your compliment, but we have only met once, how can you judge that we are suitable?"
"I understand your doubts. You don't know me. It's normal to worry about inappropriateness. As for me, I think you are very good. I trust my feelings and judgment. If you think there is something about me that you don't like, I There is still a lot of time to change to what you think is good!" Merlin said clearly, seemingly unable to find any point to refute.
Jiang Liu, who stood there without moving for a long time, secretly clenched his fists, and the muscles on his cheeks clenched even tighter.
"Merlin, it's hard to change, and I don't have the qualifications to ask you to change for me. Of course, I also don't have the qualifications to ask anyone to change for me. You are still young, it's normal to not understand these things, but I'm old, I have The responsibility is to tell you these things that you should think about. You don’t have to make a decision in such a hurry, maybe you will meet someone better in the future, right?” Ji Yu was not impatient, he just tried to guide Merlin so that he could Figure it out for yourself.
But this girl didn't play cards according to the convention. She looked at Ji Yu suspiciously, "Mr. Ji, you are the youngest? I think you are only 23 years old at most, definitely not more than 25 years old. I am already 13 years old, we It's only 10 years old!"
Ji Yu laughed lightly, "Meilin, I'm already 27, more than twice your age!"
As soon as this remark came out, Mei Lin was really stupid. She never thought that Ji Yu was already in his thirties. She thought that her 23 was too much. According to her real thinking, Ji Yu was just in his early twenties .
"You look almost like a college student. If you change your clothes, you can be smaller! No wonder people say that Chinese people look small! My God!" After being stunned, Merlin covered his face and exclaimed.
Jane, who had been sitting next to her silently for a long time, finally found a chance, quickly stood up and pulled Merlin behind her, and then apologized to Ji Yu: "Mr. She cares. As her sister, I apologize to you. "
Ji Yu shook his head, his eyes were gentle and serious, "It's okay, Meilin is very cute, she is a good girl, but she is... really not suitable for me."
Jane is very grateful to Ji Yu for not changing his understanding and tolerance from the beginning to the end. He not only saved Mei Lin's face but also enlightened her in various aspects. This kind of affection should be remembered. "Yes, thank you."
Jiang Liu's thoughts flew far away from the moment Ji Yu was "proposed". His soul seemed to be condensed into a ball, and he just stayed in the corner of his brain and kept watching the memories of himself and Ji Yu.Maybe indifferent or enthusiastic, maybe casual or rigid, maybe tired or energetic, maybe sad or happy... But as long as Ji Yu stays in his sight, he always feels happy.
He overestimated his ability to bear too much, he didn't want his feelings to disturb Ji Yu's life, he didn't dare to express his heartfelt feelings to Ji Yu with three words from the bottom of his heart, and he didn't dare to propose to Ji Yu in full view.He felt that it was enough for him to be a friend. He would watch Ji Yu fall in love with a woman from the closest position, enter the palace of marriage with a woman, get married and have children to spend his whole life. You will be satisfied by yourself.
But when he actually heard a woman propose to Ji Yu today, the bitterness and jealousy in his heart were like atoms colliding randomly in a nuclear reactor.
This is just Ji Yu being proposed, but what if Ji Yu proposes to someone on his own initiative?
At that time, can I really stand firmly by his side to support him and wish him happiness?
Jiang Liu felt that this matter was too difficult for him.
He really wanted Ji Yu to be happy, but when the object of his happiness was not himself, he was shaken again...
"Everyone, please move to the restaurant. Lunch is ready." The butler was still so quiet and decent, even if he interrupted, he would not feel offended.
Jiang Liu's train of thought was interrupted, and he walked to Ji Yu's side with heavy steps, stretched out his hand to hold him, and led him to the restaurant.Walking in a hurry, he tried his best to escape from this disturbing scene.
Jiang Liu's strides were so big that Ji Yu was caught off guard and staggered.Ji Yu, whose center of gravity was unstable, reacted very quickly, and with a backhand, he used Jiang Liu's hand as a life-saving straw.Feeling that the pressure on her hands was getting heavier, Jiang Liu hugged Ji Yu's shoulders to help him stabilize his figure, and the two of them walked forward with half hugging and half hugging.Fortunately, the place Jiang Liu hugged was not the waist, otherwise the eyes of the group of Donalds behind him would not be the same as they are now.
Merlin looked at his sister, opened his mouth and said silently: "I remember, William, you don't like getting too close to people..."
Jane nodded mechanically, "You remember correctly...he only shook hands with people, never kissed each other..."
"But just now, he took the initiative to hug Mr. Ji..." Merlin moved closer to Zhen, and whispered into her ear.
Jane looked sideways at her sister, "Yes, he even took the initiative to pull Mr. Ji's wrist."
Merlin looked at Ji Yu with even more admiration, "Mr. Ji is indeed not an ordinary person!"
The whispers of the two sisters at the back failed to reach Ji Yu's ears. While walking steadily and walking forward, he suddenly realized that he was acting strangely, so he tried to break away from Jiang Liu's hand on his shoulder, but Jiang Liu didn't seem to care. As if I felt it, the strength in my hand didn't loosen at all.Feeling ashamed to ask Jiang Liu hastily in front of so many people, Ji Yu sighed silently in his heart, turned his head and smiled apologetically at the people following him, which was an explanation.
Although he also knows that this 'explanation' is so empty that it doesn't exist.
At this moment, Jiang Liu's heart and mind are all about holding Ji Yu tightly in his hands, and he can't relax for a moment.This feeling of worrying about gains and losses made him have no extra energy to feel whether Ji Yu was struggling, and if he could keep himself from making any more intimate moves, it was already God's blessing that his subconscious mind could still function.
Instinctively felt that Jiang Liu's mood was not right at the moment, Ji Yu didn't dare to say a word, and was quietly dragged to the restaurant, and then Jiang Liu pushed him into the seat next to him.
"Jiang Liu, is it appropriate for me to sit here?" As soon as Ji Yu sat down, he saw that the group of people following him were all staring at him intently. Such strong gazes made him naturally wonder if he had done something wrong.
After waiting for a long time without Jiang Liu responding, Ji Yu couldn't help but push him with his elbow, "Jiang Liu?"
"What?" Jiang Liu turned her head, her eyes were still a little loose, obviously she was still thinking about something just now, and hadn't fully returned to reality.
Ji Yu gestured with his eyes, leaned closer to Jiang Liu and asked in a low voice: "They are all looking at me, should I not sit here?"
Jiang Liu glanced over there with those blue eyes that hadn't yet recovered, and everyone looked away knowingly. "It's okay, you should sit here, nothing strange."
This undisguised 'suppression by force' made Ji Yu not know what expression to make to face Jiang Liu. It was the first time he had seen Jiang Liu take the initiative to use his status to suppress others, although he was a bit domineering and unreasonable.But I have to admit that such a look solves all problems.
So cool!
I was excited in my heart, but Ji Yu didn't show it on his face.He sat up straight calmly, "Then I can rest assured."
After everyone was seated, Grandpa Donald finally appeared in the restaurant, first scanned everyone, and then broke into a satisfied smile when he saw Ji Yu's face.Leaning on crutches, he slowly walked to the upright position and sat down gently.
"Ji Yu, how are you doing in the morning?" Grandpa Donald greeted Ji Yu, which made all the people in the table turn their attention to the only person with a foreign surname.
"Thank you for your concern. I had a great time. Donald's house is very big, the study room is great, and the glass greenhouse is also very beautiful. It's a pity that I don't have more time to stay longer." Ji Yu's attitude is modest but not alienated. It made Grandpa Donald very happy.
The old man smiled and nodded, "Yes, this house is big, and there are some nice places worth seeing. You can ask William to take you to look elsewhere in the afternoon!"
"Grandpa, do you have any recommendations?" Ji Yu's words almost touched the heart of the master, Grandpa Donald.
"I do have a recommendation!" Grandpa Donald said with a sly look on his face, "But it depends on whether William is willing."
Ji Yu glanced at Jiang Liu, saw that the other party was also puzzled, and waited for the old man to give the answer.
"William would go to the piano room whenever he was in a bad mood when he was a child, lock the door, practice the piano by himself, and never let anyone in. There are a few very good pianos in it, which can be called antiques even now. It is estimated to be worth a lot. They are all the property of the previous generations of owners, and I think it is worth visiting. However, you need a key to enter, but the only key is in William's hands, and I don't even have it." Donald Grandpa poured out all the secrets of William's childhood, regardless of whether his grandson's ears were red from embarrassment.
Ji Yu was still very curious about Jiang Liu's childhood. Although there were some photos in the photo album in the study, they were static after all, and he couldn't tell what his personality or state was at that time.Hearing what Grandpa Donald said at this moment, the image of a forbearing and self-controlled beautiful little boy sitting on a delicate piano bench and playing the piano came to Ji Yu's mind.
He looked at Jiang Liu expectantly, "Take me to see?"
Jiang Liu had a headache, he never thought that his grandfather would tell about his childhood in front of so many people, but he really hoped that Ji Yu could understand himself better.Seeing Ji Yu's excited eyes, Jiang Liu felt indescribably sweet.He thought for a few seconds and agreed, "Okay."
It was the first time for everyone here to hear the head of the family talk about Jiang Liu'er. In their perception, William Donald was a genius with an unbelievably high IQ, even when he lost his parents when he was young and was taken home by his grandfather , should also be as rigorous and serious as it is now, studying all the time.Perhaps the impression of Jiang Liu's workaholic is too deeply rooted in people's hearts. Everyone who has only seen business affairs can never imagine that he will also be overwhelmed and vent alone.
In order to ensure Jiang Liu's prestige after inheriting the family in the future, the news about him must be reviewed by Grandpa Donald before it is disseminated, and only the part that can play a positive role is left.Even his likes and preferences were kept a secret at the beginning, in order to prevent someone from having a bad influence on the young and ignorant Jiang Liu in a way that suits him.So there are really very few people who know about the interesting things about Jiang Liu's childhood.
Of course, these few people could not include Sebastian who was sitting diagonally opposite Jiang Liu and Ji Yu.
From the moment he saw Grandpa Donald taking the initiative to talk to Ji Yu, a fire was born in his heart, but the little bits and pieces made people feel pain in his heart.
And this feeling of pain was further magnified when Grandpa Donald took the initiative to tell Ji Yu about Jiang Liu's childhood.
He reached the peak when Jiang Liu agreed to take Ji Yu to the piano room almost without hesitation.
On the issue of how to treat Ji Yu, both Grandpa Donald and Jiang Liu are too different, almost showing all the patience and kindness in their lives.Especially Jiang Liu, from the moment he brought Ji Yu back to the ancestral house, his smiles were more than the total number he saw in the past year.
If others want to get closer to Jiang Liu in their private time, they need to spend a lot of time planning in advance, so as not to be disgusting if they are almost out of touch.When I arrived at Ji Yu's place, I just listened to what Grandpa Donald said, thought about it in my mind, and asked him, and Jiang Liu agreed.
Only Jiang Liu had the key to that piano room!Such a private space is simply opened to Ji Yu?Sebastian felt incredible, but also felt angry, envious and jealous.
The person he had been thinking about for so many years, he just fell in love with another person so easily. Sebas refused to accept it. Enduring the two people's neglect of him for a whole morning was already challenging the limit of his patience. For the afternoon agreement, he had to Find a way to destroy...
During the banquet, when it was time to toast each other, Sebastian would wink at his brothers and sisters and ask them to toast Jiang Liu.It was Christmas after all, and it was not too much for relatives to thank him for his hard work and efforts over the year.According to the practice of previous years, although Jiang Liu didn't drink much of these wines, he finally wouldn't refuse them.
Sebastian's plan was very simple and rude - to get Jiang Liu drunk, and when he was drunk, he couldn't do anything.
In Ji Yu's eyes, the atmosphere of this meal can be well summed up in two words, that is "weird".
He has also stayed in England for several years, and he has attended quite a few parties ranging from common people to nobles, but he has never seen any party held so... lively?
In Ji Yu's perception, there are three typical countries that love drinking: Germany, Russia, and China.There is only one country that is cute and persuasive to toast, China.He only discovered today that the British still have a hobby of toasting.
Seeing this group of people lining up to toast Jiang Liu, the corner of Ji Yu's mouth couldn't help but want to twitch.He really wanted to remind Jiang Liu not to get himself drunk, but he was afraid that he was being sentimental, eating carrots and worrying less, which affected the atmosphere of the banquet.Of course, what he is most afraid of is that when he suddenly shows up, others will turn their targets to him.
Under the tangled balance, Ji Yu could only continue to eat quietly, but glanced at Jiang Liu's wine glass and cheeks from time to time.
From the first toast, Jiang Liu already felt that something was wrong. In the past, the Donald's dinner party was very quiet. It is customary for him not to put down the knife and fork in front of the Patriarch, to maintain a good speed, and to leave after eating.If you really toast, you either respond to the call or pose for a photo. There is absolutely no third possibility.
Glancing at Sebastian lightly, the other party lowered his head and focused on cutting the steak on the plate, as if he was determined to pick himself out of the toasting event.Basically, he made it clear that he would not openly reject the respect of the tribe at the dinner party, and used this to deliberately find fault.
With a sneer in his heart, Jiang Liu raised his head and took a sip of the wine. It's not his style to avoid, but to hold everything in his hands.
Jiang Liu didn't know why Sebastian felt that this method could get him drunk, and drinking was a must for him every day.From the time he suffered from hyperamnesia until he completely mastered the operation of the mind palace, there were countless days and nights of insomnia on the way to rely on alcohol to fall asleep.Only the grandfather and the housekeeper knew about this. At that time, he was too young, and his long-term insomnia caused his physical condition to decline sharply, so that the doctors did not dare to easily take sleeping pills for him.Faced with such a predicament, grandpa suddenly pushed his wine glass over during lunch and let him drink it all.
At that time, Grandpa Donald's table wine was already relatively strong red wine. After only two sips, he lay down on the table and fell unconscious. He slept for two days and two nights before recovering.Since then, whenever he can't fall asleep, he will drink a glass of wine.As time went by, his capacity for alcohol gradually developed. From two sips to two glasses to two bottles, he finally could no longer use external force to fall asleep, but the habit of drinking before going to bed remained.
Jiang Liu is well-known abroad, and Europeans do not have the custom of drinking to discuss business. No one has dared to drink his alcohol after working for so many years. I didn’t expect that the first time he was drunk was at home, or because of an unimportant person. Obviously wonderful jealousy.
The wine is drunk glass by glass, and the well-trained waiters in Donald's house always refill the wine at the right time, as if Jiang Liu's glass has never been drunk.Grandpa Donald looked at the swords and swords on the dining table with a flash of light in his eyes. He summoned the butler, whispered something in his ear, and the corner of his mouth curled up in a mischievous arc when he drank again.
After several glasses of wine, Jiang Liu's expression remained the same as usual, as if what he drank was only non-alcoholic grape juice.Holding the glass again, the glass stopped suddenly when it was ten centimeters away from his lips. Jiang Liu raised her eyes and looked in the direction of Grandpa Donald. became a seam.
Sitting next to him, Ji Yu, who watched Jiang Liu from time to time with his peripheral vision, quickly noticed the abnormality of the people around him. The wine glass resting on his mouth made him think that Jiang Liu was a little drunk.Putting down the knife and fork in his hand, Ji Yu also picked up the wine glass, approached Jiang Liu slightly, and asked in a low voice: "Jiang Liu, what's the matter, are you drunk?"
Jiang Liu, who used his eyes to complain that Grandpa Donald was meddling in changing drinks for him, was instantly brought back to his mind by Ji Yu's voice. He turned his head to look at Ji Yu, and clearly felt the concern in the other party's eyes. Nodding lightly, "I'm a little drunk."
"Dizzy or not?" Ji Yu continued to ask, in order to behave naturally, he also raised his head and took a sip of wine after speaking.
The red lips, the deep purple red wine, and the fair neck, the three superimposed, Jiang Liu almost subconsciously wanted to swallow.So his hand that stopped in mid-air finally moved, and he poured stronger wine down his throat, trying to hide his emotions by drinking to make his emotions less explicit.
Jiang Liu gulped this wine a little too hard, most of the glass went down, the cold liquid rushed into his mouth and brought him sobriety for a few moments, but when it slipped into his stomach, it ignited a stronger desire than before.Jiang Liu suddenly understood Grandpa's intention to exchange wine for him, so let's get drunk as long as he gets drunk...
When Ji Yu put down the glass, Jiang Liu was still drinking, he hastily reached out his hand to stop Jiang Liu from wanting to drink up the glass. "You are drunk, drink less!"
Although someone stopped him, Jiang Liu drank the glass of wine. He focused his eyes on Ji Yu's face and suddenly laughed. "It's okay, I'm fine."
So at the end of the meal, Sebas's basic goal of making Jiang Liu drunk was achieved, but the deep goal of making Jiang Liu drunk and unable to complete the date was not successful.
After the meal, Jiang Liu's cheeks were a little red, his eyes were not as sharp as usual, and he didn't have any sluggish responses or slurred speech at all. Even Ji Yu was amazed that his drinking capacity was so good.
After Grandpa Donald left the table, Jiang Liu also stood up and pulled Ji Yu up, "Come on, I'll take you to the piano room."
Looking at the others with some hesitation, Ji Yu raised his head and looked at Jiang Liu, "Wouldn't it be good to just go like this?" With so many eyes staring at him, Ji Yu felt a lot of pressure...
As if reminded by Ji Yu, Jiang Liu's already soft eyes hardened again, he frowned and swept the table until everyone consciously looked away before looking at Ji Yu again, "Let's go, no need care."
This is the second time, is Jiang Liu's eyes so scary... Ji Yu stood up and followed Jiang Liu and left the restaurant while complaining silently in his heart.
Jiang Liu took Ji Yu to a road that he discovered when he was a child, with a very low chance of meeting outsiders. After going up the stairs, Ji Yu never met anyone again. It seems that even the waiters and helpers in the mansion seldom take this road. road.He turned his head around curiously and observed that this corridor was basically the same style as the ones he had walked through before. It was stable, clean and tidy. It was obviously well maintained, but it was much quieter than other places, and the wooden floor was lightly stepped on. The creaking sound can be clearly heard.Ji Yu felt that Jiang Liu was really careful since he was a child, and in order to hide his going to the piano room, he specially found such a "sparsely populated" passage.
He looked sideways at Jiang Liu's side face, his warmer complexion and softer eyes than usual made him look easy to get close to at the moment.Everyone loves beauty, and so does Ji Yu.Although he and Jiang Liu had long been friends, but the other party usually behaved too non-human, as if he would be burned by the air-conditioning if he got too close, and he never thought of reaching out to touch him.At this moment, he suddenly wanted to poke the pinkest spot on Jiang Liu's cheek with his finger, to see if it was as warm as he guessed...
Jiang Liu's outline is so good, no matter from which angle you look at it, it feels perfect and unbelievable. Seeing the small brush-like dark eyelashes on his eyelids moving up and down slowly, Ji Yu didn't know where the courage came from, so he really raised his arms poked it up.
He poked it very accurately, it happened to be the spot in the center of Jiang Liu's cheek that seemed to have been rubbed with blush.
Soft...the temperature is hotter than he imagined...
Just thinking about this, Ji Yu's hand was caught suddenly, but it was strange that the hand that grabbed him didn't remove the mischievous fingers from his face.Jiang Liu just stopped in her tracks, her eyes were filled with a light of surprise and joy.
He was probably a little excited, with great strength in his hand, Ji Yu's skin soon became the same as that cheek.
"I……"
Just as Ji Yu said a word, he was interrupted. Jiang Liu suddenly took Ji Yu's hand and dragged him to a room not far away. Yu's heart beat faster, and he felt a feeling of nervousness or excitement.
As proficient as if he had done it thousands of times, Jiang Liu took out a small key from the inner pocket of his suit, and turned the door lock with one hand. It took only a few seconds before and after he came back to his senses, the two had already entered the door. This is a poorly lit room.
The windows in the room were all blocked by thick curtains, and only a little sunlight could shine through those tiny gaps.Ji Yu blinked, finally getting used to the dark environment gradually.
After he regained his vision, he saw a pair of extremely bright eyes only 30 centimeters away from him.Ji Yu knew very well that these eyes belonged to Jiang Liu, firstly because there were only the two of them in this room, but also because he was too familiar with the color of these eyes.At this moment, those gray-blue eyes were deeper than usual, the black pupils were almost enlarged, and the black background reflected his somewhat surprised expression.
Ji Yu instinctively wanted to back up, but as soon as he lifted his foot, he found that he seemed to be trapped by the wall, and he could be against the wall with just a light lean.
"ginger……"
"Why did you touch me?" Jiang Liu interrupted Ji Yu's words again, her tone gave off a feeling of 'the visitor was not kind'.
"Sorry... I didn't mean to..."
Jiang Liu waved his hand, seemed to be impatient, and raised his voice a lot, "This is not what I want to hear, why, tell me the reason!"
"I...I don't know...Maybe, I just want to touch..." Ji Yu was like a child who did something wrong, he didn't dare to look directly at Jiang Liu, lowered his head and his voice became smaller and smaller.
"Want to touch? Like this?" Jiang Liu raised Ji Yu's hand, which he hadn't let go, again, and pressed it against his face.
Ji Yu's eyes widened again because of surprise, his mouth was open and he didn't know how to react.
"Answer me, don't you?" Jiang Liu pressed Ji Yu's hand hard to his face, regardless of whether Ji Yu's nails would hurt him, and after a while, red marks appeared.
Afraid of hurting Jiang Liu, Ji Yu tried to take his hand away from his face, but he couldn't use his strength, so he could only whisper: "Let me go first, otherwise you will get hurt!"
But Jiang Liu was very persistent, so he asked again, "Really?"
Ji Yu's face was already a little flushed because of his eagerness, but now that Jiang Liu had uttered his strange thoughts out of nowhere, he was so ashamed that he was about to smoke.After struggling many times to no avail, Ji Yu roared angrily, "No! No! No! I didn't!"
Such naive and obvious sophistry can be seen by normal people as a child's trick of "there is no silver 300 taels here". Finally, the corners of Jiang Liu's mouth that had been pursed and bent down slowly turned up. He let go of Ji Yu's hand, Another step forward.Dingding looked at Ji Yu, stretched out his own hands to hold Ji Yu's cheeks carefully, and raised his wrist slightly so that he could look at him.
"But I've thought about it for a long time."
But obviously, Jiang Liu has no experience in dealing with similar situations. He was even more shocked than Ji Yu, the person who was proposed. reflection.
If he couldn't get the response he wanted, Ji Yu could only make a living by himself.
He turned his head and smiled and looked at Mei Lin who had been focusing on him for a long time. This girl was very beautiful, like all European and American girls, although she was only twelve or thirteen years old, she already had the charm of a woman compared to Chinese girls.Merlin's eyes are like dolls, and the flickering eyelashes are dense and long. With those persistent eyes, Ji Yu has more patience than before for no reason.
"Meilin, why do you want to marry me, just because I'm handsome?" Ji Yu's tone was not perfunctory, warm and soft, which seemed completely different from the aggressive person just now.
Merlin's standing posture was very standard, and he didn't have the bad habit of hunchback at all, just like a cute Christmas tree.Her eyes were slightly higher than Ji Yu who was sitting on the sofa, and she bent her neck slightly, and Merlin said seriously: "You are very handsome, not only your appearance, but also your ability and wisdom, these are also very handsome. Let The kind of handsomeness that makes people's heart flutter! Isn't this reason enough?"
Being praised so earnestly by a little girl, Ji Yu's ears turned red, "Thank you for your compliment, but we have only met once, how can you judge that we are suitable?"
"I understand your doubts. You don't know me. It's normal to worry about inappropriateness. As for me, I think you are very good. I trust my feelings and judgment. If you think there is something about me that you don't like, I There is still a lot of time to change to what you think is good!" Merlin said clearly, seemingly unable to find any point to refute.
Jiang Liu, who stood there without moving for a long time, secretly clenched his fists, and the muscles on his cheeks clenched even tighter.
"Merlin, it's hard to change, and I don't have the qualifications to ask you to change for me. Of course, I also don't have the qualifications to ask anyone to change for me. You are still young, it's normal to not understand these things, but I'm old, I have The responsibility is to tell you these things that you should think about. You don’t have to make a decision in such a hurry, maybe you will meet someone better in the future, right?” Ji Yu was not impatient, he just tried to guide Merlin so that he could Figure it out for yourself.
But this girl didn't play cards according to the convention. She looked at Ji Yu suspiciously, "Mr. Ji, you are the youngest? I think you are only 23 years old at most, definitely not more than 25 years old. I am already 13 years old, we It's only 10 years old!"
Ji Yu laughed lightly, "Meilin, I'm already 27, more than twice your age!"
As soon as this remark came out, Mei Lin was really stupid. She never thought that Ji Yu was already in his thirties. She thought that her 23 was too much. According to her real thinking, Ji Yu was just in his early twenties .
"You look almost like a college student. If you change your clothes, you can be smaller! No wonder people say that Chinese people look small! My God!" After being stunned, Merlin covered his face and exclaimed.
Jane, who had been sitting next to her silently for a long time, finally found a chance, quickly stood up and pulled Merlin behind her, and then apologized to Ji Yu: "Mr. She cares. As her sister, I apologize to you. "
Ji Yu shook his head, his eyes were gentle and serious, "It's okay, Meilin is very cute, she is a good girl, but she is... really not suitable for me."
Jane is very grateful to Ji Yu for not changing his understanding and tolerance from the beginning to the end. He not only saved Mei Lin's face but also enlightened her in various aspects. This kind of affection should be remembered. "Yes, thank you."
Jiang Liu's thoughts flew far away from the moment Ji Yu was "proposed". His soul seemed to be condensed into a ball, and he just stayed in the corner of his brain and kept watching the memories of himself and Ji Yu.Maybe indifferent or enthusiastic, maybe casual or rigid, maybe tired or energetic, maybe sad or happy... But as long as Ji Yu stays in his sight, he always feels happy.
He overestimated his ability to bear too much, he didn't want his feelings to disturb Ji Yu's life, he didn't dare to express his heartfelt feelings to Ji Yu with three words from the bottom of his heart, and he didn't dare to propose to Ji Yu in full view.He felt that it was enough for him to be a friend. He would watch Ji Yu fall in love with a woman from the closest position, enter the palace of marriage with a woman, get married and have children to spend his whole life. You will be satisfied by yourself.
But when he actually heard a woman propose to Ji Yu today, the bitterness and jealousy in his heart were like atoms colliding randomly in a nuclear reactor.
This is just Ji Yu being proposed, but what if Ji Yu proposes to someone on his own initiative?
At that time, can I really stand firmly by his side to support him and wish him happiness?
Jiang Liu felt that this matter was too difficult for him.
He really wanted Ji Yu to be happy, but when the object of his happiness was not himself, he was shaken again...
"Everyone, please move to the restaurant. Lunch is ready." The butler was still so quiet and decent, even if he interrupted, he would not feel offended.
Jiang Liu's train of thought was interrupted, and he walked to Ji Yu's side with heavy steps, stretched out his hand to hold him, and led him to the restaurant.Walking in a hurry, he tried his best to escape from this disturbing scene.
Jiang Liu's strides were so big that Ji Yu was caught off guard and staggered.Ji Yu, whose center of gravity was unstable, reacted very quickly, and with a backhand, he used Jiang Liu's hand as a life-saving straw.Feeling that the pressure on her hands was getting heavier, Jiang Liu hugged Ji Yu's shoulders to help him stabilize his figure, and the two of them walked forward with half hugging and half hugging.Fortunately, the place Jiang Liu hugged was not the waist, otherwise the eyes of the group of Donalds behind him would not be the same as they are now.
Merlin looked at his sister, opened his mouth and said silently: "I remember, William, you don't like getting too close to people..."
Jane nodded mechanically, "You remember correctly...he only shook hands with people, never kissed each other..."
"But just now, he took the initiative to hug Mr. Ji..." Merlin moved closer to Zhen, and whispered into her ear.
Jane looked sideways at her sister, "Yes, he even took the initiative to pull Mr. Ji's wrist."
Merlin looked at Ji Yu with even more admiration, "Mr. Ji is indeed not an ordinary person!"
The whispers of the two sisters at the back failed to reach Ji Yu's ears. While walking steadily and walking forward, he suddenly realized that he was acting strangely, so he tried to break away from Jiang Liu's hand on his shoulder, but Jiang Liu didn't seem to care. As if I felt it, the strength in my hand didn't loosen at all.Feeling ashamed to ask Jiang Liu hastily in front of so many people, Ji Yu sighed silently in his heart, turned his head and smiled apologetically at the people following him, which was an explanation.
Although he also knows that this 'explanation' is so empty that it doesn't exist.
At this moment, Jiang Liu's heart and mind are all about holding Ji Yu tightly in his hands, and he can't relax for a moment.This feeling of worrying about gains and losses made him have no extra energy to feel whether Ji Yu was struggling, and if he could keep himself from making any more intimate moves, it was already God's blessing that his subconscious mind could still function.
Instinctively felt that Jiang Liu's mood was not right at the moment, Ji Yu didn't dare to say a word, and was quietly dragged to the restaurant, and then Jiang Liu pushed him into the seat next to him.
"Jiang Liu, is it appropriate for me to sit here?" As soon as Ji Yu sat down, he saw that the group of people following him were all staring at him intently. Such strong gazes made him naturally wonder if he had done something wrong.
After waiting for a long time without Jiang Liu responding, Ji Yu couldn't help but push him with his elbow, "Jiang Liu?"
"What?" Jiang Liu turned her head, her eyes were still a little loose, obviously she was still thinking about something just now, and hadn't fully returned to reality.
Ji Yu gestured with his eyes, leaned closer to Jiang Liu and asked in a low voice: "They are all looking at me, should I not sit here?"
Jiang Liu glanced over there with those blue eyes that hadn't yet recovered, and everyone looked away knowingly. "It's okay, you should sit here, nothing strange."
This undisguised 'suppression by force' made Ji Yu not know what expression to make to face Jiang Liu. It was the first time he had seen Jiang Liu take the initiative to use his status to suppress others, although he was a bit domineering and unreasonable.But I have to admit that such a look solves all problems.
So cool!
I was excited in my heart, but Ji Yu didn't show it on his face.He sat up straight calmly, "Then I can rest assured."
After everyone was seated, Grandpa Donald finally appeared in the restaurant, first scanned everyone, and then broke into a satisfied smile when he saw Ji Yu's face.Leaning on crutches, he slowly walked to the upright position and sat down gently.
"Ji Yu, how are you doing in the morning?" Grandpa Donald greeted Ji Yu, which made all the people in the table turn their attention to the only person with a foreign surname.
"Thank you for your concern. I had a great time. Donald's house is very big, the study room is great, and the glass greenhouse is also very beautiful. It's a pity that I don't have more time to stay longer." Ji Yu's attitude is modest but not alienated. It made Grandpa Donald very happy.
The old man smiled and nodded, "Yes, this house is big, and there are some nice places worth seeing. You can ask William to take you to look elsewhere in the afternoon!"
"Grandpa, do you have any recommendations?" Ji Yu's words almost touched the heart of the master, Grandpa Donald.
"I do have a recommendation!" Grandpa Donald said with a sly look on his face, "But it depends on whether William is willing."
Ji Yu glanced at Jiang Liu, saw that the other party was also puzzled, and waited for the old man to give the answer.
"William would go to the piano room whenever he was in a bad mood when he was a child, lock the door, practice the piano by himself, and never let anyone in. There are a few very good pianos in it, which can be called antiques even now. It is estimated to be worth a lot. They are all the property of the previous generations of owners, and I think it is worth visiting. However, you need a key to enter, but the only key is in William's hands, and I don't even have it." Donald Grandpa poured out all the secrets of William's childhood, regardless of whether his grandson's ears were red from embarrassment.
Ji Yu was still very curious about Jiang Liu's childhood. Although there were some photos in the photo album in the study, they were static after all, and he couldn't tell what his personality or state was at that time.Hearing what Grandpa Donald said at this moment, the image of a forbearing and self-controlled beautiful little boy sitting on a delicate piano bench and playing the piano came to Ji Yu's mind.
He looked at Jiang Liu expectantly, "Take me to see?"
Jiang Liu had a headache, he never thought that his grandfather would tell about his childhood in front of so many people, but he really hoped that Ji Yu could understand himself better.Seeing Ji Yu's excited eyes, Jiang Liu felt indescribably sweet.He thought for a few seconds and agreed, "Okay."
It was the first time for everyone here to hear the head of the family talk about Jiang Liu'er. In their perception, William Donald was a genius with an unbelievably high IQ, even when he lost his parents when he was young and was taken home by his grandfather , should also be as rigorous and serious as it is now, studying all the time.Perhaps the impression of Jiang Liu's workaholic is too deeply rooted in people's hearts. Everyone who has only seen business affairs can never imagine that he will also be overwhelmed and vent alone.
In order to ensure Jiang Liu's prestige after inheriting the family in the future, the news about him must be reviewed by Grandpa Donald before it is disseminated, and only the part that can play a positive role is left.Even his likes and preferences were kept a secret at the beginning, in order to prevent someone from having a bad influence on the young and ignorant Jiang Liu in a way that suits him.So there are really very few people who know about the interesting things about Jiang Liu's childhood.
Of course, these few people could not include Sebastian who was sitting diagonally opposite Jiang Liu and Ji Yu.
From the moment he saw Grandpa Donald taking the initiative to talk to Ji Yu, a fire was born in his heart, but the little bits and pieces made people feel pain in his heart.
And this feeling of pain was further magnified when Grandpa Donald took the initiative to tell Ji Yu about Jiang Liu's childhood.
He reached the peak when Jiang Liu agreed to take Ji Yu to the piano room almost without hesitation.
On the issue of how to treat Ji Yu, both Grandpa Donald and Jiang Liu are too different, almost showing all the patience and kindness in their lives.Especially Jiang Liu, from the moment he brought Ji Yu back to the ancestral house, his smiles were more than the total number he saw in the past year.
If others want to get closer to Jiang Liu in their private time, they need to spend a lot of time planning in advance, so as not to be disgusting if they are almost out of touch.When I arrived at Ji Yu's place, I just listened to what Grandpa Donald said, thought about it in my mind, and asked him, and Jiang Liu agreed.
Only Jiang Liu had the key to that piano room!Such a private space is simply opened to Ji Yu?Sebastian felt incredible, but also felt angry, envious and jealous.
The person he had been thinking about for so many years, he just fell in love with another person so easily. Sebas refused to accept it. Enduring the two people's neglect of him for a whole morning was already challenging the limit of his patience. For the afternoon agreement, he had to Find a way to destroy...
During the banquet, when it was time to toast each other, Sebastian would wink at his brothers and sisters and ask them to toast Jiang Liu.It was Christmas after all, and it was not too much for relatives to thank him for his hard work and efforts over the year.According to the practice of previous years, although Jiang Liu didn't drink much of these wines, he finally wouldn't refuse them.
Sebastian's plan was very simple and rude - to get Jiang Liu drunk, and when he was drunk, he couldn't do anything.
In Ji Yu's eyes, the atmosphere of this meal can be well summed up in two words, that is "weird".
He has also stayed in England for several years, and he has attended quite a few parties ranging from common people to nobles, but he has never seen any party held so... lively?
In Ji Yu's perception, there are three typical countries that love drinking: Germany, Russia, and China.There is only one country that is cute and persuasive to toast, China.He only discovered today that the British still have a hobby of toasting.
Seeing this group of people lining up to toast Jiang Liu, the corner of Ji Yu's mouth couldn't help but want to twitch.He really wanted to remind Jiang Liu not to get himself drunk, but he was afraid that he was being sentimental, eating carrots and worrying less, which affected the atmosphere of the banquet.Of course, what he is most afraid of is that when he suddenly shows up, others will turn their targets to him.
Under the tangled balance, Ji Yu could only continue to eat quietly, but glanced at Jiang Liu's wine glass and cheeks from time to time.
From the first toast, Jiang Liu already felt that something was wrong. In the past, the Donald's dinner party was very quiet. It is customary for him not to put down the knife and fork in front of the Patriarch, to maintain a good speed, and to leave after eating.If you really toast, you either respond to the call or pose for a photo. There is absolutely no third possibility.
Glancing at Sebastian lightly, the other party lowered his head and focused on cutting the steak on the plate, as if he was determined to pick himself out of the toasting event.Basically, he made it clear that he would not openly reject the respect of the tribe at the dinner party, and used this to deliberately find fault.
With a sneer in his heart, Jiang Liu raised his head and took a sip of the wine. It's not his style to avoid, but to hold everything in his hands.
Jiang Liu didn't know why Sebastian felt that this method could get him drunk, and drinking was a must for him every day.From the time he suffered from hyperamnesia until he completely mastered the operation of the mind palace, there were countless days and nights of insomnia on the way to rely on alcohol to fall asleep.Only the grandfather and the housekeeper knew about this. At that time, he was too young, and his long-term insomnia caused his physical condition to decline sharply, so that the doctors did not dare to easily take sleeping pills for him.Faced with such a predicament, grandpa suddenly pushed his wine glass over during lunch and let him drink it all.
At that time, Grandpa Donald's table wine was already relatively strong red wine. After only two sips, he lay down on the table and fell unconscious. He slept for two days and two nights before recovering.Since then, whenever he can't fall asleep, he will drink a glass of wine.As time went by, his capacity for alcohol gradually developed. From two sips to two glasses to two bottles, he finally could no longer use external force to fall asleep, but the habit of drinking before going to bed remained.
Jiang Liu is well-known abroad, and Europeans do not have the custom of drinking to discuss business. No one has dared to drink his alcohol after working for so many years. I didn’t expect that the first time he was drunk was at home, or because of an unimportant person. Obviously wonderful jealousy.
The wine is drunk glass by glass, and the well-trained waiters in Donald's house always refill the wine at the right time, as if Jiang Liu's glass has never been drunk.Grandpa Donald looked at the swords and swords on the dining table with a flash of light in his eyes. He summoned the butler, whispered something in his ear, and the corner of his mouth curled up in a mischievous arc when he drank again.
After several glasses of wine, Jiang Liu's expression remained the same as usual, as if what he drank was only non-alcoholic grape juice.Holding the glass again, the glass stopped suddenly when it was ten centimeters away from his lips. Jiang Liu raised her eyes and looked in the direction of Grandpa Donald. became a seam.
Sitting next to him, Ji Yu, who watched Jiang Liu from time to time with his peripheral vision, quickly noticed the abnormality of the people around him. The wine glass resting on his mouth made him think that Jiang Liu was a little drunk.Putting down the knife and fork in his hand, Ji Yu also picked up the wine glass, approached Jiang Liu slightly, and asked in a low voice: "Jiang Liu, what's the matter, are you drunk?"
Jiang Liu, who used his eyes to complain that Grandpa Donald was meddling in changing drinks for him, was instantly brought back to his mind by Ji Yu's voice. He turned his head to look at Ji Yu, and clearly felt the concern in the other party's eyes. Nodding lightly, "I'm a little drunk."
"Dizzy or not?" Ji Yu continued to ask, in order to behave naturally, he also raised his head and took a sip of wine after speaking.
The red lips, the deep purple red wine, and the fair neck, the three superimposed, Jiang Liu almost subconsciously wanted to swallow.So his hand that stopped in mid-air finally moved, and he poured stronger wine down his throat, trying to hide his emotions by drinking to make his emotions less explicit.
Jiang Liu gulped this wine a little too hard, most of the glass went down, the cold liquid rushed into his mouth and brought him sobriety for a few moments, but when it slipped into his stomach, it ignited a stronger desire than before.Jiang Liu suddenly understood Grandpa's intention to exchange wine for him, so let's get drunk as long as he gets drunk...
When Ji Yu put down the glass, Jiang Liu was still drinking, he hastily reached out his hand to stop Jiang Liu from wanting to drink up the glass. "You are drunk, drink less!"
Although someone stopped him, Jiang Liu drank the glass of wine. He focused his eyes on Ji Yu's face and suddenly laughed. "It's okay, I'm fine."
So at the end of the meal, Sebas's basic goal of making Jiang Liu drunk was achieved, but the deep goal of making Jiang Liu drunk and unable to complete the date was not successful.
After the meal, Jiang Liu's cheeks were a little red, his eyes were not as sharp as usual, and he didn't have any sluggish responses or slurred speech at all. Even Ji Yu was amazed that his drinking capacity was so good.
After Grandpa Donald left the table, Jiang Liu also stood up and pulled Ji Yu up, "Come on, I'll take you to the piano room."
Looking at the others with some hesitation, Ji Yu raised his head and looked at Jiang Liu, "Wouldn't it be good to just go like this?" With so many eyes staring at him, Ji Yu felt a lot of pressure...
As if reminded by Ji Yu, Jiang Liu's already soft eyes hardened again, he frowned and swept the table until everyone consciously looked away before looking at Ji Yu again, "Let's go, no need care."
This is the second time, is Jiang Liu's eyes so scary... Ji Yu stood up and followed Jiang Liu and left the restaurant while complaining silently in his heart.
Jiang Liu took Ji Yu to a road that he discovered when he was a child, with a very low chance of meeting outsiders. After going up the stairs, Ji Yu never met anyone again. It seems that even the waiters and helpers in the mansion seldom take this road. road.He turned his head around curiously and observed that this corridor was basically the same style as the ones he had walked through before. It was stable, clean and tidy. It was obviously well maintained, but it was much quieter than other places, and the wooden floor was lightly stepped on. The creaking sound can be clearly heard.Ji Yu felt that Jiang Liu was really careful since he was a child, and in order to hide his going to the piano room, he specially found such a "sparsely populated" passage.
He looked sideways at Jiang Liu's side face, his warmer complexion and softer eyes than usual made him look easy to get close to at the moment.Everyone loves beauty, and so does Ji Yu.Although he and Jiang Liu had long been friends, but the other party usually behaved too non-human, as if he would be burned by the air-conditioning if he got too close, and he never thought of reaching out to touch him.At this moment, he suddenly wanted to poke the pinkest spot on Jiang Liu's cheek with his finger, to see if it was as warm as he guessed...
Jiang Liu's outline is so good, no matter from which angle you look at it, it feels perfect and unbelievable. Seeing the small brush-like dark eyelashes on his eyelids moving up and down slowly, Ji Yu didn't know where the courage came from, so he really raised his arms poked it up.
He poked it very accurately, it happened to be the spot in the center of Jiang Liu's cheek that seemed to have been rubbed with blush.
Soft...the temperature is hotter than he imagined...
Just thinking about this, Ji Yu's hand was caught suddenly, but it was strange that the hand that grabbed him didn't remove the mischievous fingers from his face.Jiang Liu just stopped in her tracks, her eyes were filled with a light of surprise and joy.
He was probably a little excited, with great strength in his hand, Ji Yu's skin soon became the same as that cheek.
"I……"
Just as Ji Yu said a word, he was interrupted. Jiang Liu suddenly took Ji Yu's hand and dragged him to a room not far away. Yu's heart beat faster, and he felt a feeling of nervousness or excitement.
As proficient as if he had done it thousands of times, Jiang Liu took out a small key from the inner pocket of his suit, and turned the door lock with one hand. It took only a few seconds before and after he came back to his senses, the two had already entered the door. This is a poorly lit room.
The windows in the room were all blocked by thick curtains, and only a little sunlight could shine through those tiny gaps.Ji Yu blinked, finally getting used to the dark environment gradually.
After he regained his vision, he saw a pair of extremely bright eyes only 30 centimeters away from him.Ji Yu knew very well that these eyes belonged to Jiang Liu, firstly because there were only the two of them in this room, but also because he was too familiar with the color of these eyes.At this moment, those gray-blue eyes were deeper than usual, the black pupils were almost enlarged, and the black background reflected his somewhat surprised expression.
Ji Yu instinctively wanted to back up, but as soon as he lifted his foot, he found that he seemed to be trapped by the wall, and he could be against the wall with just a light lean.
"ginger……"
"Why did you touch me?" Jiang Liu interrupted Ji Yu's words again, her tone gave off a feeling of 'the visitor was not kind'.
"Sorry... I didn't mean to..."
Jiang Liu waved his hand, seemed to be impatient, and raised his voice a lot, "This is not what I want to hear, why, tell me the reason!"
"I...I don't know...Maybe, I just want to touch..." Ji Yu was like a child who did something wrong, he didn't dare to look directly at Jiang Liu, lowered his head and his voice became smaller and smaller.
"Want to touch? Like this?" Jiang Liu raised Ji Yu's hand, which he hadn't let go, again, and pressed it against his face.
Ji Yu's eyes widened again because of surprise, his mouth was open and he didn't know how to react.
"Answer me, don't you?" Jiang Liu pressed Ji Yu's hand hard to his face, regardless of whether Ji Yu's nails would hurt him, and after a while, red marks appeared.
Afraid of hurting Jiang Liu, Ji Yu tried to take his hand away from his face, but he couldn't use his strength, so he could only whisper: "Let me go first, otherwise you will get hurt!"
But Jiang Liu was very persistent, so he asked again, "Really?"
Ji Yu's face was already a little flushed because of his eagerness, but now that Jiang Liu had uttered his strange thoughts out of nowhere, he was so ashamed that he was about to smoke.After struggling many times to no avail, Ji Yu roared angrily, "No! No! No! I didn't!"
Such naive and obvious sophistry can be seen by normal people as a child's trick of "there is no silver 300 taels here". Finally, the corners of Jiang Liu's mouth that had been pursed and bent down slowly turned up. He let go of Ji Yu's hand, Another step forward.Dingding looked at Ji Yu, stretched out his own hands to hold Ji Yu's cheeks carefully, and raised his wrist slightly so that he could look at him.
"But I've thought about it for a long time."
