Forced to mark after inhibitor expires
Chapter 97
Xi Ye left very quietly and hastily. He didn't take anything with him. Whether it was clothes or books, he kept them at home almost intact. It seemed that he just went out to get a courier, but he never returned.
Ji Yanli sat quietly in the study for a long time, only to suddenly find that the photo frame on the table was empty, and inside it was the photo of the two of them taken many years ago, which was torn apart and then glued together little by little.
Not only Master Xiaolin knew nothing about Xi Ye's departure, but Ren Jingqiu was completely unaware of it. Only Xi Chen knew about it, and he didn't know until not long ago.
All this stems from the Plan B that Xi Chen prepared for himself. He bought a nearly oval-shaped natural island called Rainbow Reef in the Pacific Ocean from a wealthy English businessman. It consists of a main island and three auxiliary islands. It is about 4.6 kilometers away from the coast of the mainland and covers an area of [-] square kilometers. There are baroque-style buildings built of white sandstone and beautifully planned courtyards on the island.
He bought this island in desperation, wanting to live on it forever, isolated from the world, who knows that he could not use it, but Xi Ye used it by accident.
At two o'clock in the morning that night, Xi Ye flew to the island overnight in a private jet.
"Then he will always come back." Ji Yanli had a glimmer of hope, "After all, he can come back after the susceptible period is over? Even if he doesn't want to get along with me during this susceptible period, then there is still time for the next susceptible period." Chance isn't it?"
"That's not the case," Xi Chen sighed. "If the susceptibility period is completely controllable, and the start and end times can be determined, it will not be so dangerous, and there is no need to go to some island. But we can't completely control it, Other A's susceptible period, various stimuli, aphrodisiacs, or even O's estrous period or even pheromone passing by, may trigger the susceptible period, so as long as you come into contact with people, there is a risk."
"Then he... isn't coming back?"
"It depends on his own wishes." Xi Chen leaned wearily on the chair, as if he had aged a lot, "I sent him on the plane, and I haven't talked to him like this for a long time. I have always hoped that he can Understand me, but in the end I found out that I would rather he never understand me for the rest of his life..."
"He drank a lot and said he knew you would be angry, but there was nothing he could do, he couldn't do that to you."
"anything else?"
"He said that he hoped that you would take the college entrance examination well and become the champion."
Ji Yanli had a sore nose, and asked again: "What else?"
"He said... you should forget about him." Xi Chen looked at Ji Yanli kindly and compassionately, "Son, what he said is right, this is the best result."
Originally, to accompany Xi Ye during his susceptible period, Fatty had already taken a week of sick leave for him, but because of Ji Yanli's good reputation and grades, the English teacher who acted as the head teacher immediately approved the leave.
As a result, Ji Yanli, who was described by the fat man as "too sick to get out of bed", came to class again the next day.
The English teacher leaned over while talking about the class, and took advantage of the time when everyone was doing the questions to ask: "Ji Yanli, have you recovered from your illness?"
The fat man bared his teeth and winked: "Are you alright? At the same table? Aren't you so sick that you need to rest for a week? Hmm—?"
Ji Yanli said lightly: "Thank you teacher for your concern. I was not feeling well yesterday, but I feel better today."
Without any doubt, the English teacher told him to take a good rest before turning around and continuing the class.
The fat man immediately lowered his voice: "To be honest, I quite admire Xi Ye, an island! Good guy, I knew he was rich but I didn't know he was so rich. You don't want to go to the island, do you? I can’t even fly there hahaha I guess there is no direct flight to this small island, right? Wait a minute, are you going to swim there?” The fat man showed panic, “Damn it, you can really do it!”
Ji Yanli lowered his head and took notes: "Don't talk in class."
The fat man was so angry that he groaned, lay down on the table, and asked in a low voice after a while: "Honestly, are you okay? Don't keep talking, scare the ghost to death, baby Lili, what are you going to do?" ah?"
The tip of Ji Yanli's pen paused, and he wrote lightly: "Testing for the number one scholar."
Fatty: "??? That's not what you said before. You said that everyone in the top [-] in the provincial examination has the strength, and whoever wins in the end depends on fate. If you can't force it, you don't want to force it. Why do you suddenly have to start the exam? Champion?"
"Shen Pang, stop talking, stand up and answer, why is the past perfect tense used here?" The English teacher's tone was displeased.
The fat man stood up in disgrace, and shut up resentfully.
During this period of time, Ji Yanli's life routine was horribly regular. He went to bed at 1:[-] in the morning and went to bed at [-]:[-] every day, studying endlessly throughout the day. The college entrance examination was approaching, and the atmosphere in the class was becoming more and more tense. There was a countdown on the back blackboard, like A bomb that will explode sooner or later, sometimes I want to ask for more time to study hard for a few months, sometimes I wish I could take the college entrance examination tomorrow, because I don’t want to bear it any longer.
Perhaps the biggest advantage of learning is that it can occupy the mind and make people unable to think about anything.
When he was so tired that he fell asleep, and when he opened his eyes, he saw the urging alarm clock and the endless snowflake-like scrolls. The stacks of draft paper gradually became thicker, and the refills were worn out one by one day by day. He had no time to fix those unfinished papers. Use romantic.
It is impossible for him to treat the college entrance examination negatively because of emotional problems, and just play with the autistic depression of those non-mainstream teenagers, crying and moaning without illness, the love that ended without a problem and the rose that burned to ashes, it is absolutely impossible.
Not only does he have to take the exam, but he also has to do well in the exam. After he finishes the exam, he will go to clean up Xi Ye during the summer vacation!
Saying that separation is the best result, and saying that being isolated from the world will not hurt anyone is all nonsense!
Can Xi Ye live alone?No matter what baroque buildings with beautiful scenery, courtyards and swimming pools, can someone cook for him and sweep the floor?The eldest young master doesn't even make a bed, doesn't take out the garbage, cooks noodles that can be boiled into pig food, sleeps until the sun is high and still doesn't get up, eats junk food when he's too hungry and orders takeaway, how can there be takeaway for him on the island!
Starve him for two months to see if he can experience the suffering in the world...he won't starve to death! ! !
Ji Yanli thought about it occasionally, but he didn't think about it anymore.
Only in the dream there will always be a dark room, Xi Ye sitting alone on the cold floor, he is waiting for time in the dark, the second hand of the wall clock is moving.
Outside the house is the boundless Pacific Ocean. The waves crash on the rocks day and night without end. The sun rises and the moon sets. He is walking alone in the courtyard, with his pockets in his pocket and his head hanging down. His black hair is blown by the sea wind. The blowing was messy, and he stood silently under the pillar and looked into the distance, his eyes were empty and lonely, reflecting the sea and sky.
The house is empty, I bring nothing, I don’t want anything, only an unframed photo on the table, which seems to be the only miniature of the past.
When the alarm rang, everything in the dream faded away like white foam on the beach. Ji Yanli turned over and sat up tiredly, grabbed his glasses and put them on, turned off the alarm, pulled on his slippers, and went to the next door to call Ji Yihe to wake up .
day to day.
In a blink of an eye, it was June again, and June [-]st was Ji Yanli's birthday. Because it happened to be Children's Day, he let his sister eat and play whatever he wanted since he was a child, but he was not that important. After Ji Zhishu passed away, Not to mention birthdays.
In addition, this year is just a week before the college entrance examination, Ji Yanli originally planned to not want anything.
However, Xie Anzhi and Ji Yihe disagreed desperately.
Since Xie Anzhi moved to Qingxi Hospital and the medical expenses were waived, the biggest expense of their family suddenly disappeared, and the financial pressure was much lighter.
Ji Yanli herself has a full scholarship from Hanlin, plus community subsidies, meal allowances, and work expenses for various student activities. Ji Yihe is the only one who is spending, but she is also very economical, so the spare money from part-time work is still saved. After that, the Ji family's assets finally became a positive number. Although it was not much, there was still room for "splurge".
On her birthday, Xie Anzhi's spirit was unexpectedly good. She specially put on a bright red coat, she looked beaming, her complexion was rosy, and she was in high spirits. She kept saying to the nurse who changed the dressing, "My son is an adult today. "
The nurse is about the same age as her, and she knows her well. After hearing this, she said repeatedly: "Congratulations, if my son is half as good as him, I won't worry about it. You don't know, he sneaks around all night and goes to Internet cafes all night. I'm annoyed." I'm getting bored to death."
Ji Yanli stood aside and smiled. The more the nurse looked at him, the more he liked him: "Look at Yushu Linfeng, gentle and elegant, gentle, eh, no wonder Xiao Xi likes it."
Ji Yanli: "..."
Is that so, does the whole hospital know who he is? No wonder nurses always pay attention to him when he goes in and out of the hospital. Those who don't know think he is the governor inspecting the local government.
……
What's the use of liking, liking doesn't keep people behind.
"Where is Zhishu?" Xie Anzhi asked again, smiling, "Why hasn't he come yet? His son's birthday, why is he still so slow? It's outrageous."
The ward became quiet all of a sudden. The nurse glanced at Ji Yanli, lowered her gaze and said nothing, and was arranging the hanging bottles in her hands.
"You forgot," Ji Yanli said softly, "He's attending classes at Gaozhe Mathematics College, and he doesn't come back until after get off work."
She didn't remember Ji Zhishu's death anymore, and she was always asking him where he was, why he didn't get off work, why he didn't come home, and why he didn't come to see her.
Ji Yanli said every time, soon, soon.
Xie Anzhi believed it naively every time, and was afraid that the nurse would misunderstand the love between their husband and wife, so he had to explain every time: "He is a professor, so he must be very, very busy this time. Otherwise, he would always be with me in the hospital." of."
She didn't remember when she was sick, or what kind of illness she had, but she still remembered that every time she opened her eyes, someone would stand by the bed and hold her hand.
Ji Yanli originally wanted to order takeaway and celebrate his birthday with Xie Anzhi in the ward, but Xie Anzhi refused and insisted that he take Yihe to the restaurant, and said that the hospital was sick and not festive, and he couldn't stay in the hospital all the time for his birthday inside.
When she moved her mouth, Ji Yihe moved directly, dragging Ji Yanli out. Ji Yanli didn't feel how tired he was recently, but he became thinner visible to the naked eye. The white shirts that were originally fitted seemed loose, and one of them couldn't stand firmly. Almost got pulled over by her.
Ji Yanli couldn't hold her back, so he and Yihe went to the restaurant across the street,
While waiting for the food to be served, his mobile phone was placed by the table, and he couldn't help but glance at it after a while, and then look at it again after a while.
Ji Yihe looked at him strangely, after all, Ji Yanli is the kind of person who has no addiction to mobile phones, and he doesn't turn on his phone for a week when he is busy.
"Waiting for someone to call?" Ji Yihe leisurely shook the Wangzai milk jug, bit the straw, and tilted his head to look at him.
"..." Ji Yanli put the phone upside down on the table, "No, no."
I always feel that, maybe, Xi Ye will take the initiative to contact him.After all, his birthday is so easy to remember.
It is also possible that there is a time difference between the Pacific Ocean and here.Ji Yanli thought.Or there was no signal at all, or Xi Ye was sleeping again, or the phone was broken again.
Although it's ridiculous, but Ji Yanli somehow had a weird idea. He is an adult, even if he is in love, it is not a puppy love. He can unilaterally treat Xi Ye as a boyfriend, but I don't know if he will agree.
Ji Yanli lowered his eyelashes and looked at the upside-down phone case. In fact, he was very sleepy. He forgot the time yesterday. He slept for four hours at night until it was two o'clock in the morning. I can't say it myself, but I really don't want to think about it.
He was also really worried about Xi Ye.
When he was eating, he would think about whether Xi Ye had eaten, and before going to sleep, he would think about whether he had slept. Those thoughts were like shooting stars, which could not be contained or stopped, and disappeared in a flash. The ending was so quick that it was too late to realize it, leaving only a lagging aftertaste, like the strings are still vibrating after a note is plucked.
……
It turned out that I just thought of him again.
It is strange to say that those three long rounds of review, the tormented and anxious study atmosphere, and the tense pace of life are all quiet and peaceful, like a machine working monotonously, neither sad nor happy, the picture is dragged by the progress bar. However, the flicker is too fast to see clearly.
Instead, a few frames are frozen in a blank and meaningless virtual scene, and the fleeting figure of Xi Ye is stretched by the backlog of emotions to fill the entire duration.
Sometimes, Ji Yanli couldn't help thinking that it would be great if Xi Ye really looked so chic and indifferent, but he actually cared too much and cared to death; The rest is afraid of losing; he always puts his feet on the table, pillows his forearm lazily, and insists that I will commit suicide by dancing on your grave, but what I really want to say should be simpler, as simple as a few words.
"I do not want to lose you."
But once, if only once, he could speak frankly.
The hall was full of people coming and going, and the smell of hot dishes and hot soup filled the surroundings. The heat wave and the slightly musty air from the air conditioner merged in mid-air. Large white bubbles.
At that moment, it seemed to be an afterthought. A whole month passed, and I really couldn't get in touch, couldn't make a phone call, was blocked by all software, had no flight, and had no way to see him.
With such advanced technology and such an information age with convenient transportation and communication, it turns out that it is so easy for a person to never see him in his life.
There is no more news about him. A month is as fast as a day, and maybe a year is as fast as a month. In the blink of an eye, many years have passed. He recalled the vicissitudes of life, only the vague memory of that night, The hot and dry air was filled with noisy cicadas, golden light scattered from behind him, and the wind blew up the hem of his T-shirt. His black eyes were as bright as stars, his thin lips were slightly drawn, and he stretched out his hand with a half-smile.
"You give me a hug and try."
The cell phone that was turned upside down on the table rang suddenly, and Ji Yanli's heart beat violently. He reached out to grab the cell phone, almost knocking it over to the ground, and flicked it back and forth several times in his hand, just like performing acrobatics.
Ji Yihe sips Wangzai's milk: "Tsk."
Ji Yanli forced a smile: "Slippery hands."
He opened the phone.
It's Ren Jingqiu's call.
Seeing the disappointment caused by the sharp drop in the caller ID at the moment, he was caught off guard like a strong wind, and the hula-la-la-la was extremely violent, which surprised him.
When he answered the phone, he felt very guilty towards Ren Jingqiu. He really didn't hate him in conscience.
Ji Yanli responded with a particularly enthusiastic voice: "Xiao Ren?"
Ren Jingqiu said that he had brought a surprise to the senior, but he ran to the door and found that he and Yihe were not at home, and he was very sad standing in the corridor now.
Ji Yanli hurriedly told him the way to the hotel, and Ren Jingqiu said he would be there soon.
Putting down the phone, Ji Yanli opened the menu again and said, "Xiao Ren is coming, and he said he brought a surprise, let's add two more dishes."
Ji Yihe disliked him: "He has so many things to do."
It is a small restaurant opened by a neighbor in the neighborhood. It is full of home-cooked dishes. The menu is a few thin pages, and there is nothing to turn over. Ji Yanli called the waiter: "Hi, can I add boiled fish fillets?"
"He doesn't eat fish fillets." Ji Yihe mumbled while biting the straw, looking beside him casually.
"Hmm..." Ji Yanli pointed to the picture next to him, "Then add an eggplant with minced meat."
"He's allergic to eggplant."
"...Is that so?" Ji Yanli pushed the menu over, "Then you order."
Ji Yihe reluctantly took the menu and casually pointed to two dishes. His attitude was too perfunctory, and he added: "I don't care what he likes to eat, he has to eat it or not."
When the dishes were ready, Ji Yihe was about to eat first with the chopsticks in hand, but Ji Yanli stopped her and said that she had to wait for the guests to arrive before using the chopsticks.
Ren Jingqiu came late, and Ji Yanli saw the golden retriever rushing into the restaurant, saying that Xiao Ren had arrived.
Ji Yihe didn't turn his head back, and said with a straight face: "It's so slow that he's dead."
Ren Jingqiu was also holding a large and beautifully wrapped box, like a gift box... or a cake box.
Ji Yanli's heart sank suddenly.
Ren Jingqiu carried the box all the way through the crowded hall, had to let other people give up their chairs, and then squeezed to the table, put the box on the table, and took a breath: "Hey, senior, how are you doing?" It’s a deserted birthday? Don’t you order two bottles of wine when you’re old?! Anyway, find a few more classmates to have a good time! It’s only once in a lifetime! Forget it, I’m the top three. Waiter sister!! Beautiful sister! Can you change us to a private room?"
Ji Yihe stared blankly at the box on the table, his face pale.
Ren Jingqiu looked up and smiled brightly: "I know you don't buy cakes for birthdays! I bought them! How about it! I specially asked for bamboo cakes! This cake is always delicious. I have bought cakes from him since I was a child. Yes, it’s hard to book.”
"Yihe?" Ji Yanli couldn't help calling softly.
Ji Yihe stood up stiffly, pushed away the chair and took two steps back: "You guys eat." Then he ran away without looking back.
"What's wrong with her?" Ren Jingqiu was startled, "Yihe! Yihe!" He yelled twice, his voice was buried in the noisy environment, Ji Yihe staggered but ran very fast, and disappeared in the blink of an eye corner.
"I'm sorry, I can explain it. I really don't blame you. There are some reasons related to the past. Our family hasn't eaten cake for eight years." Ji Yanli apologized.
"What's the matter?" Ren Jingqiu looked at him blankly, "I'm allergic to cream? That's not enough to..."
"When Dad died, he went out to buy cakes." Ji Yanli paused, and whispered, "Although no one blamed her, she always remembered that she was the one who suggested eating cakes."
"But what does it have to do with her! What is she blaming herself for? She just wanted to eat a cake at that time!" Ren Jingqiu said angrily, "Just because of this she has been brooding for so many years?"
Ji Yanli was speechless.
Good people are generally inclined to attribute good things to luck and bad things to themselves.
How many people are carrying the guilt that did not belong to them, like shackles and chains, staggering, unable to let go of it for a lifetime.
But who can resist thinking about it over and over again?Recalling every detail before the incident, until that memory was polished as clear as yesterday, the warm atmosphere gradually became strange and sinister, as if every word in the conversation was a hand that pushed him away.
Didn't he think that if it wasn't for celebrating the first exam for him, all the following things wouldn't happen?
"Many years have passed..." Ji Yanli sighed, "She just doesn't want to eat cake, and she won't go far, she will be back in a while."
"Then ignore her? As long as she insists on refusing to eat, she is still blaming herself!" Ren Jingqiu stomped his feet angrily, "Why does she usually look smart, but is actually as stupid as you, senior?! I insist You can't talk to her!"
Ren Jingqiu was about to chase after him, but Ji Yanli lay down with his gun inexplicably, but couldn't stop him with his hand, and sat back at the table resentfully, looking at the table of untouched food that was getting colder, the cake box was placed abruptly in the middle, tied With a pink ribbon, there are a few empty chairs beside the table.
Ji Yanli sat there dumbfounded for a while, then turned on the phone subconsciously, the screen was pitch black, and there was no phone call.
Reflected on the screen is a thin face wearing silver-rimmed glasses, with heavy dark circles under the eyes and pale lips, looking tired and lonely.
Ji Yanli suddenly thought, so, this is his.
Ji Yanli sat quietly in the study for a long time, only to suddenly find that the photo frame on the table was empty, and inside it was the photo of the two of them taken many years ago, which was torn apart and then glued together little by little.
Not only Master Xiaolin knew nothing about Xi Ye's departure, but Ren Jingqiu was completely unaware of it. Only Xi Chen knew about it, and he didn't know until not long ago.

"Then he will always come back." Ji Yanli had a glimmer of hope, "After all, he can come back after the susceptible period is over? Even if he doesn't want to get along with me during this susceptible period, then there is still time for the next susceptible period." Chance isn't it?"

Xie Anzhi believed it naively every time, and was afraid that the nurse would misunderstand the love between their husband and wife, so he had to explain every time: "He is a professor, so he must be very, very busy this time. Otherwise, he would always be with me in the hospital." of."
She didn't remember when she was sick, or what kind of illness she had, but she still remembered that every time she opened her eyes, someone would stand by the bed and hold her hand.
Ji Yanli originally wanted to order takeaway and celebrate his birthday with Xie Anzhi in the ward, but Xie Anzhi refused and insisted that he take Yihe to the restaurant, and said that the hospital was sick and not festive, and he couldn't stay in the hospital all the time for his birthday inside.
When she moved her mouth, Ji Yihe moved directly, dragging Ji Yanli out. Ji Yanli didn't feel how tired he was recently, but he became thinner visible to the naked eye. The white shirts that were originally fitted seemed loose, and one of them couldn't stand firmly. Almost got pulled over by her.
Ji Yanli couldn't hold her back, so he and Yihe went to the restaurant across the street,
While waiting for the food to be served, his mobile phone was placed by the table, and he couldn't help but glance at it after a while, and then look at it again after a while.
Ji Yihe looked at him strangely, after all, Ji Yanli is the kind of person who has no addiction to mobile phones, and he doesn't turn on his phone for a week when he is busy.
"Waiting for someone to call?" Ji Yihe leisurely shook the Wangzai milk jug, bit the straw, and tilted his head to look at him.
"..." Ji Yanli put the phone upside down on the table, "No, no."
I always feel that, maybe, Xi Ye will take the initiative to contact him.After all, his birthday is so easy to remember.
It is also possible that there is a time difference between the Pacific Ocean and here.Ji Yanli thought.Or there was no signal at all, or Xi Ye was sleeping again, or the phone was broken again.
Although it's ridiculous, but Ji Yanli somehow had a weird idea. He is an adult, even if he is in love, it is not a puppy love. He can unilaterally treat Xi Ye as a boyfriend, but I don't know if he will agree.
Ji Yanli lowered his eyelashes and looked at the upside-down phone case. In fact, he was very sleepy. He forgot the time yesterday. He slept for four hours at night until it was two o'clock in the morning. I can't say it myself, but I really don't want to think about it.
He was also really worried about Xi Ye.
When he was eating, he would think about whether Xi Ye had eaten, and before going to sleep, he would think about whether he had slept. Those thoughts were like shooting stars, which could not be contained or stopped, and disappeared in a flash. The ending was so quick that it was too late to realize it, leaving only a lagging aftertaste, like the strings are still vibrating after a note is plucked.
……
It turned out that I just thought of him again.
It is strange to say that those three long rounds of review, the tormented and anxious study atmosphere, and the tense pace of life are all quiet and peaceful, like a machine working monotonously, neither sad nor happy, the picture is dragged by the progress bar. However, the flicker is too fast to see clearly.
Instead, a few frames are frozen in a blank and meaningless virtual scene, and the fleeting figure of Xi Ye is stretched by the backlog of emotions to fill the entire duration.
Sometimes, Ji Yanli couldn't help thinking that it would be great if Xi Ye really looked so chic and indifferent, but he actually cared too much and cared to death; The rest is afraid of losing; he always puts his feet on the table, pillows his forearm lazily, and insists that I will commit suicide by dancing on your grave, but what I really want to say should be simpler, as simple as a few words.
"I do not want to lose you."
But once, if only once, he could speak frankly.
The hall was full of people coming and going, and the smell of hot dishes and hot soup filled the surroundings. The heat wave and the slightly musty air from the air conditioner merged in mid-air. Large white bubbles.
At that moment, it seemed to be an afterthought. A whole month passed, and I really couldn't get in touch, couldn't make a phone call, was blocked by all software, had no flight, and had no way to see him.
With such advanced technology and such an information age with convenient transportation and communication, it turns out that it is so easy for a person to never see him in his life.
There is no more news about him. A month is as fast as a day, and maybe a year is as fast as a month. In the blink of an eye, many years have passed. He recalled the vicissitudes of life, only the vague memory of that night, The hot and dry air was filled with noisy cicadas, golden light scattered from behind him, and the wind blew up the hem of his T-shirt. His black eyes were as bright as stars, his thin lips were slightly drawn, and he stretched out his hand with a half-smile.
"You give me a hug and try."
The cell phone that was turned upside down on the table rang suddenly, and Ji Yanli's heart beat violently. He reached out to grab the cell phone, almost knocking it over to the ground, and flicked it back and forth several times in his hand, just like performing acrobatics.
Ji Yihe sips Wangzai's milk: "Tsk."
Ji Yanli forced a smile: "Slippery hands."
He opened the phone.
It's Ren Jingqiu's call.
Seeing the disappointment caused by the sharp drop in the caller ID at the moment, he was caught off guard like a strong wind, and the hula-la-la-la was extremely violent, which surprised him.
When he answered the phone, he felt very guilty towards Ren Jingqiu. He really didn't hate him in conscience.
Ji Yanli responded with a particularly enthusiastic voice: "Xiao Ren?"
Ren Jingqiu said that he had brought a surprise to the senior, but he ran to the door and found that he and Yihe were not at home, and he was very sad standing in the corridor now.
Ji Yanli hurriedly told him the way to the hotel, and Ren Jingqiu said he would be there soon.
Putting down the phone, Ji Yanli opened the menu again and said, "Xiao Ren is coming, and he said he brought a surprise, let's add two more dishes."
Ji Yihe disliked him: "He has so many things to do."
It is a small restaurant opened by a neighbor in the neighborhood. It is full of home-cooked dishes. The menu is a few thin pages, and there is nothing to turn over. Ji Yanli called the waiter: "Hi, can I add boiled fish fillets?"
"He doesn't eat fish fillets." Ji Yihe mumbled while biting the straw, looking beside him casually.
"Hmm..." Ji Yanli pointed to the picture next to him, "Then add an eggplant with minced meat."
"He's allergic to eggplant."
"...Is that so?" Ji Yanli pushed the menu over, "Then you order."
Ji Yihe reluctantly took the menu and casually pointed to two dishes. His attitude was too perfunctory, and he added: "I don't care what he likes to eat, he has to eat it or not."
When the dishes were ready, Ji Yihe was about to eat first with the chopsticks in hand, but Ji Yanli stopped her and said that she had to wait for the guests to arrive before using the chopsticks.
Ren Jingqiu came late, and Ji Yanli saw the golden retriever rushing into the restaurant, saying that Xiao Ren had arrived.
Ji Yihe didn't turn his head back, and said with a straight face: "It's so slow that he's dead."
Ren Jingqiu was also holding a large and beautifully wrapped box, like a gift box... or a cake box.
Ji Yanli's heart sank suddenly.
Ren Jingqiu carried the box all the way through the crowded hall, had to let other people give up their chairs, and then squeezed to the table, put the box on the table, and took a breath: "Hey, senior, how are you doing?" It’s a deserted birthday? Don’t you order two bottles of wine when you’re old?! Anyway, find a few more classmates to have a good time! It’s only once in a lifetime! Forget it, I’m the top three. Waiter sister!! Beautiful sister! Can you change us to a private room?"
Ji Yihe stared blankly at the box on the table, his face pale.
Ren Jingqiu looked up and smiled brightly: "I know you don't buy cakes for birthdays! I bought them! How about it! I specially asked for bamboo cakes! This cake is always delicious. I have bought cakes from him since I was a child. Yes, it’s hard to book.”
"Yihe?" Ji Yanli couldn't help calling softly.
Ji Yihe stood up stiffly, pushed away the chair and took two steps back: "You guys eat." Then he ran away without looking back.
"What's wrong with her?" Ren Jingqiu was startled, "Yihe! Yihe!" He yelled twice, his voice was buried in the noisy environment, Ji Yihe staggered but ran very fast, and disappeared in the blink of an eye corner.
"I'm sorry, I can explain it. I really don't blame you. There are some reasons related to the past. Our family hasn't eaten cake for eight years." Ji Yanli apologized.
"What's the matter?" Ren Jingqiu looked at him blankly, "I'm allergic to cream? That's not enough to..."
"When Dad died, he went out to buy cakes." Ji Yanli paused, and whispered, "Although no one blamed her, she always remembered that she was the one who suggested eating cakes."
"But what does it have to do with her! What is she blaming herself for? She just wanted to eat a cake at that time!" Ren Jingqiu said angrily, "Just because of this she has been brooding for so many years?"
Ji Yanli was speechless.
Good people are generally inclined to attribute good things to luck and bad things to themselves.
How many people are carrying the guilt that did not belong to them, like shackles and chains, staggering, unable to let go of it for a lifetime.
But who can resist thinking about it over and over again?Recalling every detail before the incident, until that memory was polished as clear as yesterday, the warm atmosphere gradually became strange and sinister, as if every word in the conversation was a hand that pushed him away.
Didn't he think that if it wasn't for celebrating the first exam for him, all the following things wouldn't happen?
"Many years have passed..." Ji Yanli sighed, "She just doesn't want to eat cake, and she won't go far, she will be back in a while."
"Then ignore her? As long as she insists on refusing to eat, she is still blaming herself!" Ren Jingqiu stomped his feet angrily, "Why does she usually look smart, but is actually as stupid as you, senior?! I insist You can't talk to her!"
Ren Jingqiu was about to chase after him, but Ji Yanli lay down with his gun inexplicably, but couldn't stop him with his hand, and sat back at the table resentfully, looking at the table of untouched food that was getting colder, the cake box was placed abruptly in the middle, tied With a pink ribbon, there are a few empty chairs beside the table.
Ji Yanli sat there dumbfounded for a while, then turned on the phone subconsciously, the screen was pitch black, and there was no phone call.
Reflected on the screen is a thin face wearing silver-rimmed glasses, with heavy dark circles under the eyes and pale lips, looking tired and lonely.
Ji Yanli suddenly thought, so, this is his.
