Rose Manor

Shen Jia Nian didn't want to waste food, so he could only eat the crab meat in the bowl. The cooking time was just right. When he took it out of the clear soup pot, it was not stained by butter. It had the original taste of crab meat, which was very delicious.

But Fu Jichen's question ruined her appetite.

She also asked herself, why?

Why can she calmly accept the relationship between Yan Qiusheng and herself, but cannot accept the relationship between Fu Jichen and herself? It's actually a good answer.

The relationship between teachers and students is simple and honest, not complicated, and the relationship between men and women is different.

"What are Jianian's plans next?"

Yan Qiusheng's question just solved Shen Jiannian's dilemma.

Shen Jianian successfully diverted his attention, pursed his lips and pondered for a moment before answering him: "I haven't decided yet. I plan to settle down in Beicheng first and then make a decision."

Fu Jichen paused and glanced at her. Is she ready to settle down in Beicheng?

Yan Qiusheng nodded: "I am really tired after the tour. I need to take a good rest to adjust my condition. If you need anything later, just tell Master and I will try to help as much as I can."

Shen Jia Nian curled his lips and smiled, feeling grateful in his heart: "Thank you, teacher."

Fu Jichen picked up the teacup at hand and drank it all in one gulp, feeling as if he was drinking boldly.

The band members at the two tables next to them did not only eat but gossip. Their eyes squinted towards Shen Jianian's table, and they gathered together in twos and threes to exchange information.

In the end, no result was reached from the discussion, so I asked Yan Hong.

"Yan Ma, Jia Nian and that person..." He didn't dare to call Fu Jichen by his name. He pursed his lips and pointed in Fu Jichen's direction, "What's the relationship? I remember, didn't Jia Nian have a boyfriend? Didn't the previous one Her boyfriend?"

Yan Hong glared over: "I can't even shut your mouths while eating, so stop talking about other people's private affairs."

Everyone shrank their necks.

Yan Hong brought a cup of tea to the next table and expressed her gratitude to Fu Jichen: "Mr. Fu, I have to take them back later. It's not convenient for them to drink. I'll have tea instead of wine. Thank you Mr. Fu for your hospitality tonight."

Fu Jichen said politely: "I should thank Manager Yan for taking care of Jia Nian."

Shen Jia Nian was stunned. What was he talking about? He made it look like he was her...

Yan Hong was also stunned. Fu Jichen's words undoubtedly put him in the position of someone close to Shen Jia Nian. After all, only people close to him could say such things.

The relationship between the two seemed closer than she imagined.

"Manager Yan, just in time, I have something to talk to you about." Shen Jianian put down his chopsticks and stood up, taking this opportunity to change the subject, "Let's go over there and talk."

Yan Hong nodded: "Okay."

There is a leisure area on the other side of the box, connected to a semicircular balcony. It was cold outside, so the two of them did not go to the balcony. They sat down on the sofa in the leisure area. Yan Hong was the first to speak, with a smile on her face: "What do you want to say to me?"

Shen Jianian held his hands together and said frankly without thinking for too long: "I have decided to resign from the band and will not return to Jiangcheng with everyone this time."

Yan Hong was surprised, and the smile on her face disappeared: "Why is it so sudden?"

Shen Jianian felt very sorry for her: "I thought about it before the tour and didn't tell you. I wanted to wait until everything is over before I tell you."

"Can I ask the reason?" Yan Hong couldn't accept it. "Are you not satisfied with the treatment, or do you have something else..."

"No, no," Shen Jia said repeatedly, "It has nothing to do with the orchestra, it's my personal reason. I prefer to stay in Beicheng. I had no choice at the time... In short, thank you very much for bringing me into the orchestra. I will spend my time here. It was a very wonderful time.”

The contract she signed with the band was not a long-term contract. At that time, she wanted to change her mood and regain her previous status, so she agreed to join the band after Yan Hong's repeated persuasion.

Yan Hong saw her determination and stopped trying to persuade her. She said with a hint of regret, "Okay, I respect your choice." She tilted her head slightly, a little helpless, "Actually, I accidentally saw you playing the piano. When you joined the band, you had a feeling that it wouldn't last long. Now that you've thought about it, I wish you better development."

"terribly sorry."

"I'm sorry. Since you joined the band, you've made me a lot of money." Yan Hong made a joke, making the atmosphere less solemn.

The two looked at each other and smiled, and it was settled.

After Shen Jianian settled the important matter on her mind, she returned to the dinner table relaxedly. When she lowered her head, she saw that the plate was filled with hot food, including her favorite beef, shelled shrimps, braised stick bones, and It was paired with a few green vegetables, chrysanthemum, and even changed a bowl of dipping sauce for her. She almost finished the previous bowl.

It is self-evident who did this.

"I can't eat so much." Shen Jianian frowned, holding chopsticks and not knowing where to start his mouth, "It's a waste."

Fu Jichen: "You can eat as much as you want, and I'll take care of the rest, so you don't have to worry about waste."

Shen Jianian muttered: "Don't do this again."

"What kind?"  Fu Jichen looked at her. She took off her down jacket and scarf indoors, leaving only a soft white woolen sweater. In order to make it easier to eat, her hair was tied into a low ponytail. It was very casual, with some broken hair. Dropped on the cheek.

Shen Jia Nian was discouraged. Talking to him was like playing the piano to a bull, and besides feeling tired, he was still tired.

She resignedly picked up the shrimp meat and ate it all in one bite. Then she put on disposable gloves and picked up the big stick bones that had been marinated and cooked in the pot for a long time and had become soft. She lowered her head and slowly Gnawing on the ground. This kind of food can basically put aside the image.

Fu Jichen saw a strand of hair stuck to the corner of her mouth, and reached out to help her hook the hair behind her ears. When he retracted his hand, he unexpectedly saw the people at the other two tables looking at him. The second he spotted them, they all Pretending not to notice, he lowered or raised his head clumsily and looked away.

Shen Jianian froze. Just now, Fu Jichen's fingertips touched the corner of her lips. By the time she reacted, he had already picked up the teapot and poured water as if nothing had happened.

She could do nothing but condemn him with her eyes.

Shen Jianian went to see the others. They were all eating their own food and seemed not to have noticed the scene just now.

After the dinner, several cars took them back to the hotel. Yan Qiusheng's driver came to pick him up back to the mountainside villa and refused to go with them. Bai Changxia and Zhu Qisen also left after going to the Home Furnishing City for a visit.

Shen Jia Nian sat in the car and realized that apart from the driver, she and Fu Jichen were the only ones in the car.

"I'm going to squeeze in with the others so that you can go home directly without wasting time going back and forth." Shen Jianian escaped from the car under the pretext of doing his best.

But before her hand touched the car door, the other hand was held. Fu Jichen held her tightly and refused to let her leave: "You should know that staying with you is never a waste of time."

Shen Jia Nian's heart trembled and he tried to maintain his composure: "You, let go first."

When Fu Jichen let go of his hand, the car started. It was impossible for Shen Jia Nian to get out of the car.

"Where are you going back?" Fu Jichen asked.

"Citing Hotel."

"You said you want to settle down in Beicheng. Do you have a place to stay? Are you planning to stay in a hotel?"

"I will look for an apartment, so you don't have to worry about this."

"Qu Mo." Fu Jichen called.

Qu Mo understood, stopped at the red light intersection, took out a portfolio from the storage compartment and handed it to the back. Fu Jichen took it and passed it to Shen Jianian.

"Don't tell me you're giving me a house." Shen Jianian didn't answer.

"Don't refuse in a hurry." Fu Jichen put the portfolio on her lap and tapped his chin, "It's not too late to open it and take a look before making a decision."

To be honest, Shen Jia Nian didn't want to open it. Fu Jichen was too deep in the city. She was no match for him. Who knew what pits he would dig for her.

"Open it and take a look." Fu Jichen said again.

Shen Jia Nian couldn't resist him, so he opened the file bag and pulled out the documents inside. It turned out to be a house purchase contract. The address of this property was very familiar to her. It was the original villa of the Shen family.

"I bought your previous home." Fu Jichen rubbed the jade on his wrist, "Whenever is convenient for you, go through the transfer procedures. That villa will still be your home from now on."

Shen Jia Nian's eyes grew hot, and he quickly turned away and looked out the car window. There was no one at home, so what was she doing there alone?

She stuffed the contract back into the file bag and handed it back to Fu Jichen: "It's yours if you buy it, I don't want it."

We arrived at the hotel soon. The snow was falling harder and harder, and the ground was covered with a layer of white.

"Thank you for sending me back." Shen Jianian got out of the car, carrying the piano case on one shoulder, and the bouquet of flowers was left on the seat.

Fu Jichen followed and called her name: "Shen Jia Nian."

He rarely calls her "Jia Nian", nor does he call her "Xiao Nian". Even the words "Shen Jia Nian" with both her first name and surname can still be called affectionate by him.

Shen Jianian stopped, and several other cars stopped just in front of the hotel's main entrance. The band members came down one after another, twisting their necks to look at the two of them as they walked into the hotel. Yan Hong scolded them, and they all ran away with their necks scrunched up. Some refused to give up and twisted their necks almost to 180 degrees and turned back. look.

Fu Jichen was wearing a black coat, and the snowflakes falling on his shoulders were very conspicuous. He grabbed the two ends of Shen Jianian's scarf and pulled her into his arms.

"I set you free not to end this relationship." He spoke clearly and clearly, "Whether you admit it or not, to me, you are still my girlfriend and the one I love."

Shen Jia Nian wonders if other men are like Fu Jichen, who can express love easily without appearing hypocritical and cheap, because his eyes are sincere.

"Wait a minute." Fu Jichen said, let go of his hand, turned back, leaned his upper body into the car, took out a branch from the bouquet of flowers, turned around and walked back to her, stuffing the pale pink rose into In her hand, "It's hard to hold a bunch, so just take a branch."

If you feel that the love I give you is too heavy, then I don’t force you to accept it all, you can just accept a little bit. (End of chapter)
