Snowy Night Kiss

Chapter 107 In a strange city, someone sent her a snowflake
But in order to make Grandma Jian happy, Jian Yi still said, "I just woke up, I'll go downstairs to buy it later."

Grandma Jane was relieved. The old-fashioned TV broadcast the latest weather forecast. The old lady couldn't see it clearly due to her presbyopia, so she could only turn up the volume to listen.

While listening, I muttered, "It snowed so early in Kyoto this year, why hasn't it snowed at home yet?"

"Maybe the time has not come yet." Jian Yi chuckled and joked, "It's better than being in Greece. I'm afraid I won't see snow this winter."

International calls were expensive, and Grandma Jane was reluctant to chat with her.

When hanging up the phone, Jian Yi glanced at the sky outside the window. It was just dusk, the sun was hanging low over the world, and the slightly salty sea breeze blew in his face with a damp smell.

When she was going downstairs, she happened to see the hotel staff coming up.

They were holding a complexly shaped birthday cake in their hands. Jian Yi rarely indulged in sentimentality, but when she saw the star crown shape on the birthday cake, she subconsciously stopped.

The hotel waiter walked to her door and rang the doorbell, muttering to himself in confusion, "How strange, why is there no one here?"

Jian Yi slowly walked up to her and asked, "Is it for me?"

"Are you Miss Jane?"

"Yes."

Her not-so-fluent Chinese was enough to bring tears to her eyes.

Jian Yi gave up the idea of ​​going downstairs. She had already forgotten how she walked into the bedroom holding the cake.

She was dazed when she saw the 24-year-old candle on the cake. It turned out that she was already 24 years old this year, and they had been separated for 3 years.

The cake tasted like strawberry, and the familiar feeling came back the first time she took a bite. Jian Yi leaned against the French window and swallowed it mouthful by mouthful. Her vision gradually blurred. The crown reminded her of a man who was full of vigor and energy and wanted to pick the stars for her.

But Jian Yi doesn't need anyone to pick stars for her. She will ride the wind and clouds to reach that distant star by herself.

So when the time of separation came, she left him without hesitation.

The moment the candlelight went out, Jian Yi gently closed her eyes.

Her tears fell, and in the silent night, she listened quietly to every violent beat of her heart.

Suddenly the tranquility at the beach disappeared, and her ears were replaced by the exclamations of tourists.

"Look, look, it's snowing!"

"It must be artificial snow, so romantic."

Jian Yi's pupils suddenly shrank.

She ran to the balcony holding the hem of her skirt, but was still surprised by the scene before her.
Perhaps to make the snow easier to see, thousands of lights were turned on in the dark night so that every trace of the falling snow could be captured.

The azure sea, the endless snow, and the stunning painting are all for a striking romance.

In a strange city, someone sent her a snowflake from afar.
-
It was summer when Jian Yi and Jin Yanchen met formally.

It was the year when she was about to graduate, and the year when she declined Wen Huai's offer to continue her studies and planned to work.

The reason was simple: Grandma Jian was getting old and her health was not improving. Although Jian Chengfeng would send some money from time to time, he could not stay with Grandma Jian all the time.

Jianyi runs between school and home. Her life is very busy, but she is happy to be so busy.

That evening, she handed the project report she had written in advance to Wen Huai. Wen Huai glanced at her while sitting at his desk, put down his metal pen, picked up the pile of documents she handed over and looked at them carefully.

"Got to go?"

"Ah."

"You left earlier than me, your mentor." Wen Huai laughed with an ambiguous meaning. "I have something to do at home..." Jian Yi tried to explain herself, but she felt that nothing she said could change her fault of being late and leaving early in the past few days, so she simply kept silent and waited to be scolded.

Wen Huai suddenly laughed when he saw her racking her brains. He picked up the coat on the back of the chair, stuffed her report into his briefcase and took it away.

"Let's go, I'll give you a ride."

Jian Yi was about to refuse, but Wen Huai turned around and asked her, "Where are you going?"

She couldn't refuse, so she just said, "The First Hospital of the City."

Wen Huai nodded, feeling a little surprised but not showing it. He took the initiative to open the car door for her, and when he stretched out his hand, he subconsciously blocked the top of her head.

Once we got in the car, the atmosphere was awkward.

Jian Yi felt very uncomfortable. She silently pulled up the route map to the First Municipal Hospital on her phone. The map showed that it would take 23 minutes to arrive. She breathed a sigh of relief and started to check the time.

Who knew that my finger accidentally pressed the button to set off immediately, and the phone that was not muted immediately rang with a loud announcement-——
“The whole journey is 15.1 kilometers and takes a total of 23 minutes.”

Wen Huai burst out laughing. He looked over at me in the rearview mirror with a mischievous look, and said in a rare joking tone, "Are you worried that the teacher doesn't know the way or something?"

"Is anyone in the family in the hospital?"

Jian Yi nodded slowly: "My grandma is in the hospital."

"What disease?"

"heart disease."

Wen Huai hummed: "There is an expert in the First Hospital who specializes in this. I think his name is something..."

"My last name is Chen, Doctor Chen." Jian Yi said, "I was lucky. I got an appointment with him on the first day of registration."

"Is he still releasing numbers for such a heavyweight?" Wen Huai smiled. His attitude was very good, just like a teacher caring for his students. "Tell me if you need any help. If you don't want to tell the school, I'll keep it a secret for you."

Wen Huairuo looked at her nonchalantly: "I always feel that you are a little cold to me. You don't refuse to apply for my doctoral student because you hate me, right?"

"No."

"It's my own fault."

Jian Yi raised her head and looked at him. Her eyes were clear and bright, making people feel that her mind was broad and open no matter when they looked at her.

It was as if there were countless obstacles in this world, and she was cutting through them just to follow the path in her heart.

"It's okay if it's not."

Wen Huai put his hands outside the window and said calmly, "There are two paths in front of you now. If you don't want to settle down and pursue an academic career, I think it would be a better choice for you not to pursue a doctorate."

"But no matter what, I think you will never go wrong in choosing your own path."

The car stopped at the First Municipal Hospital.

Wen Huai's driving is just like him, gentle and introverted without a trace of aggressiveness. Even the way he parked his car seemed calm and measured.

In fact, Jian Yi often saw the shadow of another person in him. It was funny to say that her memory of Jin Yanchen had become so vague over the past year that she had to vaguely recall him from the outline of another person's figure.

After a long time, Jian Yi finally got a piece of news from a senior student in the same academy.
This year, Wen Huai only reported one doctoral student position to the college.

She refused.

He didn't want anyone anymore.
