Snowy Night Kiss

Chapter 104 There will be someone secretly waiting for me at the door
"No, you came so suddenly."

Jian Yi leaned against the wall and looked at Lin Qingruan. Now she didn't wear heavy makeup, only a pure white long down jacket, a white knitted wool hat, and two balls of fur hanging by her ears. She looked simple, beautiful and a little cute.

"Want some tea?"

"No." Lin Qingruan held her hand, "Let's not disturb grandma's rest. Come on, I'll take you out to celebrate the New Year."

Jian Yi was taken out of the house by Lin Qingruan in a daze.

There was a white car parked at the door, an SUV model, which could just seat five people.

She looked up and saw that it was Lin Yuan who was driving. He had his hair cut very short, revealing bright and clean eyes and brows. When he saw her, he immediately tilted his head and smiled.

Meng Ze was sitting in the back seat. He was wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and holding an iPad while still working. His suit was worn meticulously. He was pulled over by Lin Qingruan just after he came off the stage.

This is indeed in line with Lin Qingruan's character of doing whatever he wants.

Jian Yi hesitated and asked, "Are you guys here to spend New Year's Eve with me?"

"We came here for a trip. Meng Ze is from the north and wanted to see the Jiangnan water town, so I brought him here." Lin Qingruan leaned close to her and whispered, "The most important thing is that Grandma Jian called me and told me that there was a little girl who pretended to be strong and studied very hard every day, and she didn't even allow herself to have a moment of sadness."

"I came here for you, but don't accuse me of putting women before friends."

"Tonight is New Year's Eve, I won't say anything bad about you." Jian Yi smiled slightly, "I hope you get what you want and find your soulmate."

Lin Qingruan enjoyed these words the most. She snorted and chuckled, then swiftly went to the back seat of the car.

Lin Yuan slowly got down from the driver's seat at this time. He was a little tired after driving all the way from Kyoto, so he gave the driving seat to her.

It had been a while since I had driven a car, so Jian Yi felt a little nervous when he touched the steering wheel.

At this moment, a hand grasped the steering wheel.

Her heartbeat paused briefly.

It was Lin Yuan who said, "The steering wheel is not straight."

Jian Yi hummed, her heart gradually sinking again. She turned the steering wheel and slowly drove out of the alley, slowly walking towards a farther road.

They finally found a bar that was still open.

Stores that were open at this time were rarer than champagne and diamonds. They didn't choose carefully and just found a parking lot, parked the car and went in.

When I entered, the musician was singing Eason Chan's song "Under the Mount Fuji".

It's strange, isn't it? It's clearly the New Year atmosphere.

But there is a place in this city that is grieving alone.

Jian Yi ordered a Margarita.

She leaned against the bar and watched the bartender mix a certain proportion of tequila and Cointreau, and finally squeezed lime juice on it.

Margaret has a very romantic story. The lemon juice tastes sour and bitter when you drink it, just like the lover in the story who lost his beloved forever. Nothing can better describe the taste of love than this.

They talked about the latest happenings in the school. Actually, Jian Yi had only been away from the headquarters for a month, but the story seemed to last as long as a whole year.

She listened in silence as they talked about names of people she didn't know at all. All those wonderful stories seemed a little dull because of her absence.

Jian Yi finished a whole glass of cocktail.

Then she heard Lin Yuan suddenly mention a familiar name.

After three rounds of drinking, everyone was a little confused. Maybe it was just to liven up the atmosphere, anyway, Mo Yucheng's name was really suitable for after-dinner conversation.

Lin Yuan said loudly: "He donated a teaching building to the west of the teaching building, which is fully equipped. It's a pity that you went to the new campus, otherwise you would have been able to live there this year."

Kyoto has a history of hundreds of years of education, and the corresponding teaching facilities are somewhat old, especially the teaching buildings. There is no hot water in winter, and even air conditioners cannot be installed due to power supply problems.

Meng Ze asked: "Why donate a building when someone in their family is going to go to school?"

"No way." Lin Yuan thought about it carefully and said casually, "Didn't Mo Yucheng divorce Miss Liang, who was making a lot of noise a while ago? The tabloids published it for three days, and I read a lot of gossip online."

Jian Yi subconsciously looked at Lin Qingruan.

She didn't know any news. Perhaps just as she had left at the beginning, this circle was also unconsciously distancing itself from her.

Lin Qingruan's face was still calm, she unconsciously stroked the rim of the cup, her eyes drifting towards Meng Ze. Meng Ze remembered the rumors in the academy, he suddenly said, "Mo Yucheng... is he the rich second generation who came to school to chase girls? I heard my junior talk about it, but I don't know who he was chasing."

Lin Qingruan could no longer sit still.

Her face turned completely pale, and she felt suffocated and unable to move.

"Sorry, I need to go to the bathroom."

Lin Qingruan hurriedly walked through the crowd and went to the bathroom at the back door.

The restroom was outside, it was very cold and there were almost no people on the street.

Lin Qingruan covered her chest and dry-heaved twice. Someone across the table handed her a wet wipe. It was a familiar brand, with the scent of jasmine.

She immediately raised her head, looked back alertly.

The man looked at him with a smile. If he had to be described in one word, it would be a perfect appearance, full of debauchery.

Mo Yucheng was wearing a light grey coat. Clothes of this colour were extremely difficult to carry off, but he wore it with ease.

He looks much more mature than before, but he is still as naughty as before when he smiles.

Lin Qingruan refused to take his wet wipes, so he leaned over and gently wiped her cheek with his fingertips.

Subconsciously shrank back, Lin Qingruan immediately turned around and tried to escape.

But I didn't expect that when he held me in his arms, his body temperature was still burning hot even in the deep winter of February.

When I leaned over and bit her earlobe, the pleasure instantly sent shivers through her body.

Lin Qingruan asked him in a cold tone: "What are you going to do?"

A New Year's Eve carnival could be vaguely seen through the transparent glass window not far away. Mo Yucheng was wrapped in coldness and didn't know how long he had been standing here.

He raised his eyes lazily, and his gaze slowly fell on the girl in his arms.

Seeing her panic and loss of composure, Mo Yucheng suddenly lowered his head and smiled viciously.

"How does it feel to be cheating on me with your new boyfriend?"
-
It had been a quarter of an hour since Lin Qingruan went to the bathroom. Jian Yi was a little worried, so she put down the wine glass in her hand and planned to go look for her.

Before I even went out, I saw Lin Qingruan walking towards me from the corner.

She walked unsteadily and looked dazed. She only stopped after Jian Yi called her three times.

Jian Yi asked, "Qingruan, what's wrong with you?" Lin Qingruan shook her head and forced a smile. "Nothing, I just saw a Beijing A license plate over there. It's quite rare during the Chinese New Year."

"Maybe it's just a coincidence."

Jian Yi smiled. She thought that during the Chinese New Year, normally people other than locals would not go to their small city.

She went back to the bar and Lin Qingruan ordered a stack of ice cream drinks.

It's actually chocolate ice cream mixed with white wine.

It didn't taste very good, but I didn't expect the alcohol content to be quite high. I felt a little dizzy after drinking two cups.

The clock has not yet struck midnight.

Lin Qingruan drank a little too quickly in the second half. After drinking the strong liquor, her thoughts became unclear and she started talking nonsense.

"Let me tell you, the biggest red envelope I ever received during the New Year was this big..."

Lin Qingruan gestured in the air, "My wallet is so full that I can't even close it... He also said that I'm a money-grubber."

The bar changed to a sadder song.

Everyone sat quietly at the bar to digest their emotions.

Jian Yi changed for a glass of gin and tonic, and she recalled the scene during the New Year along with Lin Qingruan's words.

The secrets in her heart that she had never revealed were revealed at this moment, so she whispered, "On New Year's Day... there will be someone secretly waiting for me at the door of my house."
