Ye Jin glanced at Xia An, and his tone was not as gentle as before, "You are just recovering from your injury, and you are going to drink again?"
"I..." At this moment, Xia An's cell phone rang, and their conversation was interrupted by an incoming call.
Ye Jin glanced casually again, and saw the three characters "Teacher Qi" on the caller ID, which was particularly eye-catching.
After Xia An answered the phone, she turned around slightly and said, "Teacher...well, I just got off work. It's okay. You don't have to pick me up. I'll be here right away."
Ye Jin stood aside, staring at the smile on Xia An's lips when he spoke, and frowning slightly. Although she knew that Xia An treated people like this on weekdays, she felt annoyed for no reason, let alone that the other party was Qi Muyi.
"Are you going to have dinner with Qi Muyi tonight?" Xia An just hung up the phone when she heard Ye Jin ask herself this question.
Today is Qi Muyi's birthday. Xia An had agreed to attend the party before, but Qi Muyi brought it up again yesterday. She couldn't shirk it. Xia An nodded without explaining anything, "Yeah."
But it seems that Ye Jin doesn't know about this. It's normal not to know. Xia An can feel that there is no deep friendship between Ye Jin and Qi Muyi.
"Just the two of you?" Ye Jin kept staring at Xia An's eyes and whispered in annoyance, "I just said she didn't treat you as a student..."
These familiar words reminded Xia An of the last time Ye Jin said this to her, the two of them were still lying on the bed holding each other, just like lovers.
Xia An remembered that at that time, she asked Ye Jin coquettishly if he was jealous, and Ye Jin rarely admitted it.
That is Xia An's sweetest memory.
Xia An looked at Ye Jin and repeatedly experienced the tone and expression when she spoke just now.
In fact, from the day she was injured and hospitalized, Xia An noticed that Ye Jin's attitude towards her began to change slightly, and she took the initiative to care and get closer, which made the relationship between them go back bit by bit.
Can it be understood as reluctance? Xia An thought carefully in her heart. The more she interacted with Ye Jin these days, the more she realized that she was not being sentimental. Otherwise, when she heard that she wanted to have dinner with Qi Muyi, would Mr. Ye's reaction be too big?
More?
"What does it matter? We are not real teachers and students." Xia An raised his head towards Ye Jin and said with a deliberate smile.
Because of these words, Ye Jin hesitated for a while before asking, "Are you ready to agree to date her?"
"Mr. Ye, this should have nothing to do with you." Xia An also said, "We agreed not to interfere in each other's love lives, and you also said that I can be with other people during this period. Besides, we..."
If he said this out of anger and to make himself feel uncomfortable, then Ye Jin felt that Xia An had done it.
"It has something to do with me." Xia An said a lot at once, but before he could speak, he was interrupted by Ye Jin. Ye Jin stared straight into Xia An's eyes, and only said this sentence, "It has something to do with me, sincerely"
The eyes give this sentence a deeper meaning.
For a moment, Xia An was silent. When she looked into Ye Jin's eyes, she had forgotten what she wanted to say in the second half of her sentence.
What may sound like an ordinary conversation between two people actually contains testing of each other, testing how much the other person cares about them.
They looked at each other silently for several seconds.
"Teacher Qi's birthday is today. I promised to go to her house to attend a party. I'm not the only one."
After Xia An said this, he knew that he was shaken.
She could just shake her head and leave indifferently. Explaining what it meant meant that she didn't want Ye Jin to misunderstand, but why didn't she want Ye Jin to misunderstand?
Deceiving yourself and others is the most painful and difficult thing.
"I'm leaving first." Xia An lowered his head and turned around.
This time, Ye Jin took Xia An's hand in time and said, "I'll drive and take you there."
"No need." Xia An wanted to break away from Ye Jin's hand.
Ye Jin said, "Let's go."
"I go by my own."
Instead, Ye Jin quietly held Xia An's hand tighter.
The next second, Xia An's hand froze and stopped moving. Because Ye Jin didn't just hold her hand, but held her hand with no intention of letting go.
In this way, Xia An passively followed Ye Jin. After walking for a few steps, she absentmindedly withdrew her hand and refused to let Ye Jin hold it.
Ye Jin turned to look at Xia An, a smile suddenly spread on her face, and whispered to her, "You have a bad temper."
This smile made Xia An look away in dismay. She was surprisingly quiet.
In a short time, the afterglow disappeared, and the night shrouded the sky, with a few stars looming in the dark sky.
Xia An never expected to follow Ye Jin into the car, but she still sat in the familiar passenger seat.
Sitting next to Ye Jin, Xia An's mood was more than a little complicated, staring ahead in a daze. She always had a plan in everything she did, but what happened now was beyond her expectation.
After they reached the decision to divorce, Xia An never thought that she and Ye Jin would have a future, and she never thought that after more than a month of calm, Ye Jin started to take the initiative to redeem herself...
Ye Jin saw that Xia An was distracted in the passenger seat, and she leaned forward to fasten his seat belt.
As soon as I got close.
Xia An immediately came back to her senses. She glanced at Ye Jin, then pulled her seat belt and fastened it herself.
It was still silent all the way.
After driving for a while, Ye Jin held the steering wheel and emphasized to Xia An, "Don't drink during this period."
"I know."
Ye Jin thought for a moment and then said, "Don't go to work at night."
When this issue was mentioned, Xia An stopped talking.
Ye Jin was helpless.
The navigation route is not far away. Within ten minutes of driving, Qi Muyi and Ye Jin went there once. When Qi Muyi had just moved, she and Sheng Ruqi went there together. Ye Jin guessed that Qi Muyi had only invited Xia Xia tonight.
If An is alone, if he really has time to hold a birthday party, Qi Muyi cannot help but call her Sheng Ruqi.
Ye Jin told Xia An that Qi Muyi did not regard her as a student, not without reason, because Qi Muyi's predecessor was her student.
"I'm right here." Seeing the shopping mall not far away, Xia An suddenly remembered something. He said he was going to celebrate someone's birthday, but in the end he didn't even prepare a gift. He was so busy these days that he forgot about it. I wanted to go shopping after get off work today, but I bumped into Ye Jin.
"What's wrong?"
"I'm going to buy something."
"Going to the mall?" Ye Jin guessed something.
"Yeah." Xia An said again, "Please pull over and stop for a moment. I'll get off here."
Ye Jin did not pull over, but turned around at the next intersection and drove directly into the underground garage of the shopping mall, "I'll go with you."
On Friday night, the shopping mall was bustling and noisy with many people.
"You don't have to come with me." Xia An said to Ye Jin beside him, "Isn't the baby still at home waiting for you to eat? You can go back."
"I asked Aunt Zhou to coax her to eat first."
Xia An glanced at Ye Jin, feeling inexplicably shameless.
At the counter on the first floor of the shopping mall, Xia An lowered her head and picked up her lipstick. Ye Jin stayed by her side silently, her eyes involuntarily falling on Xia An's face. She would only move away for a moment before scanning back again.
They were probably picking out gifts for Qi Muyi. Ye Jin stood there for a while before asking Xia An, "Dr. Qi?"
"You can't go empty-handed." Xia An responded and asked casually, "Do you know what color Teacher Qi likes?"
Ye Jin disliked hearing the words "Teacher Qi" muttered from Xia An's mouth the most, not only before but even more so now. She replied coldly, "How could I know."
"..." Xia An asked for trouble.
The chat ends again.
Xia An compared the colors one by one, thoughtfully, and looked quite serious. Ye Jin looked at it and cursed, no one was as serious as she was when choosing gifts for her girlfriend...
After thinking about it carefully, Xia An never really gave her a gift at all. After looking at it for a long time, Ye Jin finally couldn't hold it back and said, "Stop choosing, just put it in this gift box. There will always be a color she likes."
Xia An looked at Ye Jin and was speechless. She originally wanted to give her a lipstick, and this gift box contains twelve.
"Then I'll wrap it up for you." The counter girl smiled happily and said happily, "This is a limited edition this year. It's been out of stock. You guys came in time today. It's the last box."
"Hey, I..." Before Xia An could say anything, the counter sister even typed out the order, her hand speed was staggering.
"Hello, total consumption..."
"I'll pay." Ye Jin had already paid in front of Xia An.
Xia An looked at Ye Jin in confusion, "I didn't say I wanted to take this."
Ye Jin looked at Xia An and said easily, "Just treat it as a gift from us together."
"Send them together?"
"I should say something to her on her birthday."
Xia An looked at Ye Jin's attitude and said, "You want to go too?"
The author has something to say: Ye · Vinegar Essence · Lemon Essence · Jinos: Oh, my wife has never carefully picked out a gift for me! (Memory it in a small notebook silently, and I will come back when I am bullied in bed later)
