Secret love words

Chapter 18 Sugar

Silence fell between the two again.

It seemed like a long time before Xu Chenyin forced a smile and said softly, "Ji Yan, no matter what, I still want to thank you today."

"It has nothing to do with me." Ji Yan said this lightly, then turned and left without hesitation.

Xu Chenyin looked at his tall and straight back, her eyelashes trembled a few times, and there were complex emotions in her eyes.

After a while, she withdrew her gaze, turned around and was about to walk away from Ji Yan, when she heard Ji Yan's tone from behind her not to refuse: "Xu Chenyin, I'll take you back."

At this moment, the evening wind blew Xu Chenyin's broken hair that was hanging by his ears. Xu Chenyin paused, as if he couldn't believe what he had just heard.

It just so happened that at this time, the thin man wearing glasses walked out of the police station leisurely, saw Xu Chenyin whistle, and said with a proud expression: "Beauty, thank you tonight..."

The thin man was halfway through speaking, and when he saw Ji Yan walking towards this side, he stopped abruptly.

When Ji Yan walked to Xu Chenyin's side, he sized up the thin man with a pair of black eyes, and before he could speak, the thin man turned around and walked away timidly.

"Aren't you going yet?"

Seeing that Xu Chenyin was still standing still, Ji Yan said a word of reminder without expression, and walked away without waiting for Xu Chenyin.

It's just that this time his footsteps have been a little slower, keeping a close distance from Xu Chenyin behind him.

The stars in the night are shining brightly, and the dim lights on both sides of the street cast a soft and warm radiance.

Occasionally, there were a few dogs barking on the side of the road. In the empty and quiet alley, only the footsteps of the two were particularly abrupt.

Ji Yan walked not fast, but not too slow. Xu Chenyin followed behind him unhurriedly. Looking at Ji Yan's back in front of him, he couldn't help but think of the scene when the two of them walked home together on weekends. Controlled jerk acceleration.

Xu Chenyin's expression gradually became dazed, and he walked all the way back to the barbecue stand. When he came to Ji Yan's car, Xu Chenyin suddenly came back to his senses.

She watched Ji Yan sit in the driver's seat, then stood outside the car and hesitated for a while. Just as she was about to step and open the rear door, the co-pilot's window was lowered.

Ji Yan's voice was particularly deep and mellow in the night: "Come up, don't waste time."

"……Um."

The moment she sat in the co-pilot, Xu Chenyin's back was straight, because strictly speaking, this was the first time she took Ji Yan's car instead of the police station's bus.

"Where is home?" Ji Yan started the car and asked lightly.

Xu Chenyin lowered her eyes and slowly replied, "Morning Star Apartment."

Regarding her answer, Ji Yan slightly raised his brows, and seemed to ask casually: "Live by yourself?"

Zhao Lichu raised her hand and brushed her broken hair behind her ears, revealing her white and slender neck. She turned her eyes to look at the night scene outside the car window, and said "hmm" Wen Wen.

Ji Yan glanced at her, said nothing, and stepped on the gas pedal.

The car was driving smoothly on the road quickly. Although Xu Chenyin's body did not move much throughout the whole process, her almond eyes were silently observing everything in the car.

Ji Yan's car was as clean and tidy as him, without any small decorations, but Xu Chenyin smelled a scent that seemed to belong to Ji Yan from the moment he got in the car.

That smell was something she had never smelled on anyone else, and it also made her feel at ease.

Thinking of this, Xu Chenyin couldn't help raising his eyes to look at Ji Yan who was driving, pursed his lips, and was about to say something.

Ji Yan was the first to ask: "Are you sober?"

"Huh?" Xu Chenyin didn't hear clearly at first, and asked suspiciously, "What?"

Ji Yan frowned, but repeated again: "Are you sober?"

"Wake up." Xu Chenyin heard clearly this time, so he answered very quickly.

"Have a headache?" Ji Yan asked again.

Xu Chenyin didn't feel much pain at first, but after what he said, she didn't know whether it was a psychological effect or what, and her head suddenly started to hurt again. She closed her eyes, raised her hand and pressed her temple a few times, but she subconsciously denied it: " It doesn't hurt."

Seeing her appearance, Ji Yan tightened his grip on the steering wheel. Although he didn't speak, the speed of the car increased significantly.

Arriving downstairs in the apartment, Xu Chenyin was about to open the car door and get out of the car, but was stopped by Ji Yan's voice: "Sit still."

After he said this, he didn't mean to explain to Xu Chenyin at all, but he just opened the car door and walked towards the convenience store across the road.

Xu Chenyin was sitting in the car, watching his back until he approached the convenience store, trying to guess something, but the swelling pain from her temple made her have no time to think about it now.

At this moment, inside the convenience store.

After Ji Yan bought the hangover tea, when he glanced at the candy on the shelf from the corner of his eye, he suddenly remembered a scene in high school again in his mind.

The girl's soft voice rang in his ears: "Ji Yan, don't you think the hangover tea is a bit bitter?"

At that time, he took a sip of the hangover tea from the girl, but it was a bit bitter. Seeing the girl's eyebrows furrowed because of the bitter taste, he unconsciously raised a smile, and stretched out his hand to rub the girl's black and soft hair. Fa, and promised: "I will buy you candy next time."

At that time, he never thought that the next time would be ten years later.

And something so irreparable happened in the middle.

"Sir, a total of 25 yuan."

"And this box of candy, please help me make it together."

Ji Yan regained his composure, picked up a box of fruit candy from the shelf and handed it to the cashier.

"Okay, a total of 35 yuan."

When Ji Yan opened the car door with his things in hand, he saw Xu Chenyin leaning against the car window with his eyelashes drooping, wondering what he was thinking.

Seeing him coming back, Xu Chenyin came back to his senses, sat up straight and looked up at him, and said softly, "Ji Yan, thank you today..."

As she spoke, she paused, her hands on her legs curled up unconsciously, and she continued: "Also, I'm sorry, I didn't want to disturb you, but..."

"Xu Chenyin, it doesn't make any sense to apologize after the past."

While talking, Ji Yan unscrewed the bottle cap of the hangover tea, and after passing the hangover tea to her, said in a cold voice, "Instead of apologizing, what you should do is to leave my world again."

After saying this, Ji Yan turned his head, and his eyes fell on the night scene outside the car window.

Xu Chenyin suffocated slightly, looked at the fruit candy he put in the middle, was silent for a few seconds, and asked with a choke in his voice: "Ji Yan, you still remember to buy candies... so you really don't like me? "

There was a brief silence in the carriage.

After a while, Ji Yan took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and pulled out one. The sound of the metal lighter pressing was very clear in the silent environment.

The cigarette at his fingertips was lit, Ji Yan lowered his head and took a breath, surrounded by white mist, his side face looked a bit cold under the dim light.

Xu Chenyin stared at him without blinking, waiting anxiously for his answer.
