Snowy Night Kiss

Chapter 106 Maybe I don’t want to fall in love

In her second year of graduate studies, Jianyi followed her supervisor to Greece to work on a multinational audit project.

This project is a rare opportunity, but because it is almost the end of the year, everyone is a little hesitant.

Jian Yi stepped forward at this time: "I'll go."

Her tutor, surnamed Wen, was well-known in the field of international auditing. He rarely recruited female students, not because of gender discrimination, but because there were too few girls who could apply.

When Wen Huai saw Jian Yi for the first time during the re-examination, his heart was pounding.

He asked: "Can you endure hardship? Learning from me means traveling around the country for projects."

Jian Yi nodded: "I can."

Later, she did not disappoint Wen Huai. In terms of professional learning, Jian Yi led with better results than ordinary people.

What makes her better than others is her single-minded focus on her profession. For example, at this moment, she would not have any hesitation just because of the approaching holidays or going home for the New Year.

She was like a victorious general whose eyes only cared about victory and defeat, and she walked forward on this path with determination.

Wen Huai was also willing to take her out. They were sitting in the same cabin as their masters, so they were all familiar with each other and started chattering and laughing.

Jian Yi remained silent.

She watched the plane fly out quietly, with a light blue sky in her sight. Her heart floated along the route, which was her habitual state in recent years, always drifting and never returning.

Sun Yu, a senior sister who was one year older than her, touched her.

"What are you thinking about?"

Jian Yi turned around and said half-truthfully, "It's my first time going to such a far place. I'm a little nervous."

"Are you still nervous? You are the calm thirteenth sister in our department."

This sentence has a deep story behind it. Jianyi was the thirteenth student under Wen Huai. That year was the first time she went to another place with Wen Huai for a field inventory.

They were in charge of a financial fraud project in a remote and poor area with inconvenient transportation.

Jian Yi and Wen Huai investigated all night and found quite a few problems.

They wrote an audit report and were about to submit it, but who knew that the audited unit had received the news in advance and actually brought a group of people to chase and intercept them.

The scene was really like a scene from a Hong Kong movie.

Everyone was terrified at the time, and Wen Huai stepped in to resolve the matter. When they returned to the police station, the police asked them for evidence of intimidation, and everyone froze in their tracks. The scene was so scary that people could hardly stand, so who would think of preserving evidence?

At that time, Jian Yi had just entered school and was a junior standing in the last row.

She put the phone on the table. The sound was soft but clear.

"I recorded the whole process. This is the evidence."

This is the origin of the nickname "Calm Thirteenth Sister", and it was also the day when Jian Yi came into everyone's sight. Her thin and upright back was like a kapok tree standing tall in the wind and rain.

Everyone laughed at this, and the senior brothers who were traveling with us started to joke, "The twelve senior brothers and sisters in front of us are all single, when will our Thirteenth Sister get rid of being single?"

Jian Yi held his chin and said, "There's no rush."

The new junior sister below followed suit and shouted: "If Senior Sister is not in a hurry, then I am not in a hurry either."

The senior brother sighed sadly, "It seems that we won't be able to take the first place in this year's competition for the rate of getting out of singlehood."

"The external college is hoping that we can't get it. You don't know how many eyes are staring at our junior sister." Sun Yu described it, "I still remember when our junior sister came on stage to represent the freshmen, I saw the eyes of the boys in the audience light up."

"It's been two years since I last saw you single. I really want to know what kind of boy can make you fall in love?" This question left Jian Yi speechless.

She opened her mouth and searched her mind for all the words she could think of, but still couldn't put "moved" into an abstract and broad definition.

This word has always been associated with one person in her mind.

The only Jin Yanchen.

"Maybe I don't want to be in a relationship." Jian Yi stroked her hair. Maybe this word was a little strange to use in this context, but no one present noticed her question. Instead, they kept asking her why.

Jian Yi burst out laughing: "Because you can't have both career and love."

"Yes, very thoughtful."

Wen Huai turned his head from the front and asked seriously, "I still have a doctoral student quota here, do you want to come?"

"I'll think about it again."

Jian Yi said calmly: "Think about whether you should give up love completely and join Teacher Wen's team."

Later, the junior sisters were very sad about her attitude, but Wen Huai admired her very much.

In Wen Huai's opinion, there is nothing completely good in the world, and people should think about the pros and cons before making every decision.

If Jian Yi had rashly agreed to his request today just because of his reputation, perhaps he would have had some hesitations in his mind.

But Jian Yi is obviously not such a person. She moves like playing chess, looking three steps ahead before taking one step, and every step forward is a consideration for the future.

The plane landed at a Greek airport.

Greece has a typical subtropical Mediterranean climate. Compared with the four distinct seasons in China, this country located on the Balkan Peninsula in Europe has almost no winter.

Unable to bear the coldness of the winter drizzle any longer, as soon as the plane landed, everyone took off the heavy down jackets they brought from China and put on light coats.

Jian Yi was only wearing a coat when she came.

The weather in Greece was hotter than she had imagined. Even though it was December, the deepest winter, the sea breeze here was just as strong as that in spring.

While she was wrapped in warmth, she also thought with regret that "there will be no snow this year."

As usual, Wen Huai would let them play freely all day on the first day.

Jian Yi was not interested in any of the parties they had planned. She went back to the hotel, changed into some light clothes, and planned to catch up on some sleep. The new junior sister had no experience and probably didn't know what kind of "inhumane" life she would have to live in the next week.

Staying up all night for several days is no problem.

The most pitiful thing is that we had to correct the dazzling data for several days in a row. In the end, our heads were dizzy and the whole team was worried about a penny less in the account.

The funding for this project was sufficient, and the hotel they booked was a single room with sea view near the beach.

Jian Yi was awakened by the ringing of the phone at the hotel front desk. The hotel asked her if she was in the room now. Jian Yi thought they were going to bring up dinner, so she told them to wait.

During this gap, she answered a call from Grandma Jane.

Grandma Jane said, "Happy birthday, Yiyi."

"I heard that there is a time difference in your country. Grandma can't calculate it, so I will give you the time according to the domestic time."

"Thank you, grandma." Jian Yi said softly, "I may not be able to make it back for the New Year this year."

"It's okay. Grandma is very lively in the nursing home." Grandma Zhong asked her, "Did you eat birthday cake today?"

Jian Yi actually didn't have the habit of eating birthday cakes. Most festivals in the world were for commemoration, and there was nothing worthy of commemoration or joy in her birth.
