“Jian Chi, your body was not uncomfortable, right?”
“I……”
“I found out from the beginning that you didn’t seem to want to see me,” Ji Huaisi was laughing, inexplicably causing Jian Chi to sense out a trace of loneliness, “Did I do something wrong?”
Jian Chi couldn’t answer. Every sentence seemed to be pressing on him. Step by step, the tension turned into a rope around his throat that made him unable to breathe. After a while, he squeezed out four words: “It’s not like that.”
“I originally thought you would bring Zhang Yang here.” Ji Huaisi’s voice was neither light nor heavy, but like a hammer slamming on Jian Chi’s chest, “You seem to have always cared about Bai Xiyu’s emotions and you want to send him to me, is that my illusion?”
No, not an illusion.
Ji Huaisi was too sharp, or all of them were more sensitive than Jian Chi thought. He only occasionally put his peripheral vision on Bai Xiyu’s expression. When the restaurant was seating them, he left the closer position to him open and guideed the topic of conversation in their direction. All these subtle actions were captured by Ji Huaisi as unusual. He couldn’t deny it at all.
“Jian Chi,” Perhaps the silence was also some kind of signal. Ji Huaisi gently pressed Jian Chi’s shoulder, “I don’t mean to be angry, I just want to know why.”
Jian Chi didn’t know how to answer. Tell him that they were originally supposed to meet like this, that Bai Xiyu was supposed to fall in love with you because of this? Looking at Ji Huaisi’s sullen eyes, Jian Chi’s heart seemed to have knocked over some seasoning and was mixed with a complex taste, “Sorry, I can’t explain it now.”
Rather than using more excuses to deceive Ji Huaisi, Jian Chi chose to escape.
He had already seen Ji Huaisi’s disappointed look. Hearing this, Ji Huaisi let go of his shoulders, there was no disappointment or dissatisfaction in his eyes. He sighed lightly, and the corner of his mouth was smiling, a touch of helplessness, “I understand, I will ask again when you are willing to explain. You didn’t eat anything just now, you must be hungry, I know there is a good restaurant nearby, are you going to reject me this time?”
Jian Chi confirmed it twice, then finally determined that the topic did suddenly jump from ‘why lie’ at the beginning to eating and said doubtfully, “Didn’t you already eat?”
“I was worried about you just now, so I didn’t have time to eat a few bites.”
“That Bai Xiyu…”
Ji Huaisi, who went to open the car door, stopped and didn’t answer, but Jian Chi read the interruption in his eyes and heard him say slowly: “From now on, don’t mention other people’s names. You almost lied to me, so this small request shouldn’t be too much, right?”
Jian Chi had a familiar feeling again, like falling into a beautiful pit that didn’t look like a trap at all. He hesitantly replied “en”. Ji Huaisi stretched out his usual gentle smile, protected the top of his head, and closed the car door.
Bai Xiyu was not in the car, and Jian Chi subconsciously wanted to ask him where he was, but he silently closed his mouth when he thought of the request he had just agreed to. The car stopped in front of an inconspicuous street and Jian Chi followed Ji Huaisi around a few turns before seeing a hidden store, which at first glance didn’t look like a restaurant at all. It was full of unnamed plants and potted plants that formed a full circle, some were hung on the door, some were simply placed on the ground. Jian Chi carefully looked at his feet to make sure he didn’t step on anything.
