Then, she cleared her throat, called Lin Yue, and asked Lin Yue to come up and take the cake and share it with the staff.
At eleven o'clock, she changed into her pajamas, sat alone at the dining table, facing the small piece of cake left behind, and said to herself tenderly, "Axiu, happy birthday."
She forked a small piece of cake, and the taste in the mouth was obviously sweet, but she still couldn't help herself, it was bitter and unbearable.
Wait for the solar calendar, wait for the solar calendar birthday and then make a cake for Axiu. She comforted herself.
Suddenly, she heard the sound of a card being swiped outside.
Ji Youyan froze, stretched out his ears, and his heart beat like a drum.
The next second, Yao Xiao and Jingxiu said goodbye, and clearly entered Ji Youyan's ears: "Mr. Jing, then I'll go down first."
Ji Yuyan was instantly ecstatic.
Just as she was about to rush out to meet Jingxiu, the next moment, out of the corner of her eye, she inadvertently swept a half-eaten piece of cake in front of her.
what! ! !
Ji Yuyan was petrified.
The author has something to say: Sister Ji is crazy: Is it too late for me to spit it out now? ! !
Chapter 43
The footsteps of Jingxiu outside the restaurant were clearly audible, clack-clack, as if stepping on Ji Youyan's heartbeat. Ji Youyan looked at the small half of the cake on the table, and wanted to cry without tears.
But Jingxiu still came back, at such a late hour.
After Ji Yuyan was depressed for a few seconds, she couldn't help but be elated. She couldn't help it, walked out of the dining room quickly, and intercepted the dusty Jingxiu in the living room where the lights were not turned on.
As soon as they met, they both stopped in tacit understanding and looked at each other in silence.
When Jingxiu entered the door, he saw the light leaking from the restaurant and guessed that Ji Youyan had not slept yet. She sighed in her heart, for Ji Youyan's expectations and for her own heart.
After all, she was reluctant to buy a new ticket, and after a hasty dinner with Tao Xingruo, she rushed back on the last flight.
Ji Youyan had already taken a shower, and at the moment she was only wearing a nightdress and a nightgown casually. Her hair was naturally loose, and she had noodles in clear soup, which was the complete opposite of her elaborate dress at noon. She looked at Jingxiu with delicate makeup, and regret overwhelmed her heart. She should have waited desperately until zero o'clock.
Jingxiu only noticed the thinness of her clothes.
"Axiu, happy birthday." Ji Youyan broke the silence with a dry voice.
She stood in the light and shadow leaking from the dining room, her face half clear and half hazy. What is clear is the tenderness in her eyes, and what is hazy is the darkness that Jingxiu can't see clearly. Just like her people, bright and contradictory. Jingxiu slid his throat and replied indifferently, "Well, thank you."
Ji Youyan couldn't distinguish her expression, and her heart beat faster and faster. She bit her lip and subconsciously told her: "I made a cake for you." After that, she regretted it, what else to say when the cake was gone!
Jingxiu moved his five fingers imperceptibly, and a heat flowed through his heart. Just as she was about to speak, Ji Youyan confessed in a low voice: "But I thought you would come back tomorrow, so I'll share it with everyone."
"..."
Jingxiu looked at her, angry and funny for a while. So is she to blame for coming back too late?
Ji Youyan took two steps towards her, trying to see Jingxiu's expression clearly. She rescued nervously: "There is still a small piece, do you want to eat it?" Saying this, thinking of the remaining cake, she felt that she might have lost her mind, and she blushed so much that she wanted to find a hole to dig in.
"No, thank you anyway." Jingxiu replied lightly. She could see Ji Yuyan's embarrassment, eased her face a little, and said softly, "It's very late, why haven't you slept yet?"
"I want to wait past zero." Ji You said obscurely. After midnight, she can completely give up and completely believe that Jingxiu will not come back today. She even allowed herself to immerse herself in the more and more miserable emotions that were getting closer and closer to zero.
How can she sleep? The sadness that Jingxiu had experienced before, it was time to punish her for feeling more.
Jingxiu frowned, did you want to wait for her to come back when it was past midnight? Did you divide the cake? But seeing Ji Youyan's sincere expression, Jingxiu's heart softened, "It's almost zero, rest early."
After she finished speaking, she took a step towards her room. Ji Yuyan suddenly reached out and grabbed her wrist.
At the moment when the warmth melted, Ji Youyan and Jingxiu's hearts throbbed.
Jingxiu turned sideways to stare at Ji Youyan, and Ji Youyan released her hand awkwardly. There seemed to be stars twinkling in her eyes, and she asked anxiously, "Song... do you like it?"
Jingxiu moved his foot unconsciously. After a while, she looked away and said, "With the window open, isn't it cold?"
Ji Youyan was stunned, and looked at the living room window subconsciously. It's closed. Suddenly, she was so blessed that she realized that Jingxiu was talking about the window in her video.
I didn't say didn't like it, still cared about whether she was cold or not, that's what liked! Ji Yuyan's eyes brightened.
She raised the corners of her lips and said, "cold."
"But I thought it was for you, so it's not cold." She took another step towards Jingxiu and said in a low voice.
Jingxiu's heart trembled, her rationality made her take a half step back unnaturally.
Ji Yuyan noticed it. She didn't have the courage to take another half step, and consciously changed the subject and said, "Just a moment." After that, she walked quickly towards the coffee table, with a look of sadness that she didn't dare to show in front of Jingxiu.
Jingxiu's nails dig into the palm of his hand.
Soon, Ji Youyan came back, holding three beautifully packaged small boxes in his arms.
"A birthday present for you." She handed out the box and said softly.
Jingxiu looked at Ji Yuyan fixedly.
Ji Youyan smiled and said, "The top one is this year's birthday present, the next two..." She lowered her voice: "It's the birthday present prepared the year before and last year."
She didn't dare to look at Jingxiu's expression, and her eyes fell on the box in her hand: "I thought they would never be given away again." Maybe not.
