Chapter 44 Do You Love Each Other?
Zhai Yang walked to an empty terrace. Jingjing had not asked him to pick her up on the phone just now.
He excused himself by saying he just wanted to be alone.
There were women sticking to him everywhere, and Jie Jin, who usually followed him, was nowhere to be seen. Only then did he remember to read the messages sent by Jie Jin.
[Brother Zhai, I have to leave now because of something.] This is news from a long time ago.
That kid, his family doesn't expect him to achieve anything, it's good enough if he doesn't cause any trouble.
When Zhai Yang was about to walk out, he suddenly saw a familiar figure. His body had already hidden itself before his brain.
Xue Yijie.
He was also invited here, and was accompanied by that annoying foreign man.
But why should he hide?
Zhai Yang wanted to leave openly, but when he saw Xue Yijie's back, he stopped. A single man approached him and started a conversation.
Zhai Yang glanced at the cigarette he hastily put away and said, "Can I borrow a cigarette?"
The man showed an embarrassed look and took out the flattened cigarette box.
"Ah, a pack of Marlboro cigarettes I brought with me when I went out." He didn't expect that he would be able to strike up a conversation successfully, but unfortunately the cigarettes were somewhat unpresentable.
"I don't mind." said Zhai Yang.
The man secretly plucked up his courage, took out his lighter and respectfully lit his cigarette for him. Seeing that he did not show any disgust, he said, "Mr. Zhai, my last name is Liu. I started from scratch and created my own series of herbal fragrances and skincare products. I heard that your group is planning a new project team."
"Plants?"
"Yes, sir," the man replied nervously.
Little did he know that Zhai Yang's mind had drifted far away. From this perspective, he could see Xue Yiji's figure, and he could imagine on what grounds he was invited here.
He is a very famous emerging painter with a great reputation and natural talent.
He watched his high school’s memorial video.
The teenager who had gone crazy after graduating from the college entrance examination was tanned before the summer vacation was half over. He liked to wear shirts at that time. At a friend's graduation banquet, several people were playing around and making a fuss. The girl at the same table couldn't stop laughing.
He could see from the girl's eyes that she liked him.
Ever since Zhai Yang met him, he had always had a simple and plain appearance, elegant and clean. He thought that was a common problem among artists until he learned about his vivid past.
He was looking at him a lot of the time.
Xue Yijie was sitting in the back of the classroom doing her "Analysis and Reconstruction" homework. She was studying a pomegranate and breaking it apart on the drawing board.
He sneaked into a corner and looked at Xue Yijie from a distance with a borrowed textbook, just like now. He was always watching.
After he finished his homework, he ate the pomegranate openly, and then the two of them went to the cafeteria after class... In fact, I never really entered his world.
Zhai Yang exhaled a puff of smoke. "You just said that the inhibitor ingredients are added to the cleaning products, and the group is positioned at Alpha and Omega. It's a good idea."
The man's smile quickly froze on his face.
"The ingredients of the inhibitor are clearly printed on the packaging. Has anyone touched it openly?"
Zhai Yang didn't want to talk to him anymore.
The man was very tactful, "I am sorry for disturbing you today." He left the cigarette and lighter in his hand to him, "Thank you."
After he left, Zhai Yang lit another cigarette, "A little greedy, but not too stupid."
Actually, Jingjing and Xue Yiji are a bit similar.
He suddenly thought about what would happen if he was with either of the two and was caught by the other.
Even though they all knew each other's relationship, Zhai Yang still felt awkward, and suddenly didn't want to go out anymore.
It seems that we should get divorced as soon as possible.
Zhai Yang suddenly realized the terrible thing he had done.
He had finally been able to sit down and have a few meals with Xue Yijie in peace some time ago.
Xue Yijie was no longer so cold and indifferent, and he could even ask him a few questions with a smile, "Is your wife living alone recently?"
"You guys are still just putting on a show, right?"
"Are you friends?"
It doesn't matter what he is.
Little did he know that Xue Yijie was about to pack up and send her sister abroad, so recently Auston didn't focus on Cui Jing, but was busy with his sister's affairs.
Auston thought that as long as he could send Xue Yijie, the lost and recovered sister who was too precious to tolerate any loss, far away, far away from the sphere of influence of Zhai Yang, the scourge, he would finally get what he wanted.
My younger sister is a treasure sent by God after Xue Yijie's mother passed away. She is Xue Yijie's only relative.
He will get along well with his sister.
......
Xue Yijie was pulled to take a photo with several people.
Auston doesn't care about those people, he is not targeting them, to use the new internet lingo he learned: he doesn't care at all.
Xue Yijie’s social smile is something you never get tired of seeing.
What a charming oriental face.
He suddenly noticed Xue Yijie's pause, and he paused for a while.
Auston followed his gaze and saw what seemed to be a few women gathered together on the dance floor in the distance. Women are always prone to gossip.
He saw Xue Yijie walk over in a few steps and pass through the crowd like a fish in water.
The rich girl who was taking a photo also looked confused, "Why did he leave so suddenly?"
Aston followed over and heard Xue Yijie say this very gently.
"Good evening, Ms. Cui."
Cui Jing!
Does she really look like this?
"It's you." Cui Jing was holding a champagne and was annoyed to death by the female supporting role who had an aura of lowering intelligence. Chen Shurong was dragged away by the adults in the family to socialize. Before leaving, she looked at Cui Jing for help, and Cui Jing was powerless to do anything about it.
She didn't want to have a chat with these women who were pretending to be friendly but were actually engaged in a vicious conversation, but they kept asking her to talk endlessly, especially the jeweler named Bai.
No matter how she leaves Zhai Yang, she can't escape. If she had known earlier, she would have asked Zhai Yang to pick her up, so that he could solve the problem himself.
The result is that the protagonist suffers.
He was not actually with the protagonist. Cui Jing looked behind him.
"Can I invite you to dance?" Xue Yijie blurted out.
He originally didn't want to say this, but he regretted it as soon as he finished speaking. What if she didn't know how to do it?
He felt that he might have said something wrong, and he was worried until Cui Jing spoke.
"Aren't you asking for an invitation?"
"Yes." Xue Yijie shook that hand very naturally, and her movements were so familiar as if she had done it many times.
The two slid onto the dance floor during a pause in the music, and the piano sounded suddenly, followed by vocals. As she spun, the background behind her changed, and he suddenly felt that he had danced with her many times.
Many times.
"you're so beautiful."
Xue Yijie wanted to have her presumptuous mouth covered with dried paint countless times tonight.
"You are handsome too." Cui Jing thought Xue Yijie was very strange. As the protagonist, he seemed to have a good impression of her after spending several times with her.
Wouldn't he...have the same physical discomfort and disgust towards the other person as I do?
It may also be because she did not follow the original plot of the supporting actress, so to him, she is an innocent victim.
There was a hint of doubt in her eyes as she thought, and her overly shallow pupils seemed particularly cold and heartless.
Xue Yijie put his hands on her waist. With such a close distance, he could hardly restrain his desire to hug her. Is there really anyone who doesn't love such a person?
He must be sick.
After the differentiation, he suffered frequent hallucinations.
When painting in the studio, in the car on the way to scouting locations, at night when the lights are on, when I am alone.
At this moment, the illusion appeared again. Dimly, he heard his own voice confessing to someone.
"I still like you very much."
"Loving you is as easy as breathing."
Who was the person he confessed his love to? Zhai Yang? When he kissed her, he smelled a strong fragrance, which seemed to be very long hair. Xue Yijie opened his eyes when the fragrance hit him.
The face he saw clearly at this moment overlapped with hers on the dance floor, the colorful flowers hanging upside down on the dance floor and her face.
She seemed to be born to be loved.
At that moment, the emotions that seemed to be overflowing in his chest turned into a stuffy feeling in his nose, as if he had a bad cold.
You have to remember how you feel at this moment.
Remember it clearly and firmly, and you will forget it less and less.
"Cui Jing, please don't hate me, okay?" Xue Yijie saw Cui Jing look up in surprise, hesitated for a moment and shook her head, but he understood what she meant.
She didn't seem to hate him anymore.
but.
Aren't we supposed to love each other?
……
"So what if she's pretty? No one asked her to dance before, and now someone has."
"Yes, yes."
"Are you blind? Didn't you see that a few men came up to her and chatted with her before, but she rejected them herself?" Bai Xiaoling said impatiently. She played with the ring on her hand twice and didn't want to stay with this group of people anymore.
"Why did she leave?"
"Maybe she's sick. She doesn't even like being flattered." said the woman.
