Snowy Night Kiss

Chapter 17 I'm just an ordinary person
Jin Yanchen was amused by her words. He opened the car door and invited her in. He casually pointed to the back seat and asked her to see what was piled in the back.

"You have no conscience." He spoke half-truthfully, mumbling in an ambiguous tone, "Why would I come to you if I'm not interested?"

There was a bouquet of roses on the back seat of the car. The colors were quite bright and the number of branches was a long and long number.

You can tell that he put a lot of thought into it.

Jian Yi was stunned for a moment. Regardless of whether it was sincere or not, even if it was an affectionate scene, she thought that at this moment, Jin Yanchen had already done his best in this role.

Why is she still so reserved and hesitant? She should just treat it as a casual relationship between adults and she shouldn't put on airs in front of him.

"I thought we were in love."

Jin Yanchen raised his eyebrows. The word "falling in love" was a bit far-fetched for him, but he was quite happy to make this girl happy, so he casually replied, "If you think so, then so be it."

"Then tell me, how do you talk about love?"

Jin Yanchen propped up his arms and looked at her leisurely. He thought this girl was quite interesting. She would retreat when others approached her. Her attitude was neither fawning nor deliberately reserved. Occasionally, she would look at him absent-mindedly, which was puzzling but also cute. It was a bit like the fun of exploring a mystery and treasure hunting.

Thinking of this, Jin Yanchen chuckled, slowly pinched her chin, and pried open her clenched teeth. If he wanted to be an explorer, he would first try to enter through her small, cherry-red mouth.

Jian Yi was a little dazed by his kiss. The beginning of their relationship was as inexplicable as this kiss. The rich floral fragrance was intoxicating. She carefully climbed onto his shoulders. Her heart almost jumped out of her chest at this moment. Jian Yi closed her eyes hopelessly. She thought, she was finally closer to him.

Jin Yanchen released her grip, his breathing fell into her ears, and he deliberately said, "If you don't teach me, I will use my own method."

He pretended to kiss her again.

Jian Yi quickly freed up one hand and said to him,

"Then let's start by holding hands."

While waiting for the traffic light, there was a shallow puddle under their feet. Jian Yi lowered her head to look at her toes while he was not paying attention. Her rosy face was reflected on the water surface, but her eyes were looking at their intertwined hands.

She did not struggle, but held his hand tightly. She wanted to ask Jin Yanchen about the eternity of their fingers holding each other, but she knew clearly that the word "forever" would not exist for him.

On the way, Jian Yi asked Jin Yanchen what he wanted to eat. He turned around and smiled at her, "Didn't you treat me to a meal? Why do you want me to make the decision?"

"I don't know what you like or dislike." Jian Yi stuck out her tongue. Inviting him to dinner was indeed a spur of the moment decision. She knew very little about high-end restaurants. When she was hesitating and wanted to ask Lin Qingruan for help, Jin Yanchen looked at her phone.

This girl was really frank. A line of text "Where do rich people eat" appeared in front of him in the Baidu search box.

Jin Yanchen thought for a moment, not knowing what to say. He looked at her inexplicably and asked, "Your concept of me is only these three words?"

Jian Yi bit her lower lip, looked at him awkwardly, and added a few more words.

Where do the rich and stylish eat?

He was completely amused by her, and the gloom of the past few days was swept away. Jin Yanchen felt that the long-lasting anger in his heart was finally released the moment he saw her.

He reached out to take the phone away. He couldn't bear to spend her hard-earned month's salary on a meal. He parked the car on the side of the road and turned around and said, "Take me to a place you like to eat."

"I always ask you to come to me, and I also want to walk into your world and take a look."

Jian Yi's eyes narrowed for a moment. He showed such sincerity, so what reason did she have to refuse to open up to him? There was no need to drive the rest of the way. After passing through a long alley, Jian Yi took Jin Yanchen to the firewood wonton shop at the innermost alley.

In the cold winter when the colorful clouds fall into the horizon, having a bowl of steaming wontons is the happiest thing she has ever felt.

There were not many people here at this time, so Jian Yi picked a table near the inside. The long bench was mottled with age. Jin Yanchen was wearing a suit and coat, with a reserved and cold look that was out of place in this place.

Jian Yi glanced at him, took out wet wipes from her bag and was about to wipe the stool, but just as she bent down she was helped up.

Jin Yanchen had already sat down. He reached out and took out two small bowls and two spoons from the disinfection cabinet next to him. He slowly scooped out the wontons from the bowls and let them cool, with a graceful posture and elegant manners.

He seemed to have innate grace in everything he did. A bowl of wontons at just the right temperature was placed in front of her. Jin Yanchen said to her with a smile, "Be careful, it's hot."

Jian Yi's eyes gently fell on the man in front of her. His gentle demeanor, perfect distance and measure, always melted away the despicable inferiority, hesitation and caution in her heart without leaving a trace.

She just showed him a little bit of her miserable life, and he was healed enough to want to cry.

The bowl of wontons was quickly finished. It was a rare meal in silence for them.

Jian Yi looked up and asked him, "Is it delicious?"

In fact, this question was meaningless, because she knew that no matter whether out of sincerity or politeness, Jin Yanchen would never say that it was not delicious.

She actually didn't know why she brought him here today. Perhaps he was too sincere, which made her want to reveal a little bit to him.

"good to eat."

Smoke from cooking in the alley curled up, and the hot air from the steamer formed light-colored clouds, which looked like cotton candy rising from afar. Jin Yanchen's eyes softened. He looked at the girl sitting opposite him and whispered, "I used to sit here and eat breakfast in the morning."

Jian Yi looked at him in surprise, with a look of complete disbelief, as if he was telling some fairy tale.

Jin Yanchen chuckled softly. There was a shallow bird's nest under the eaves, with a little sparrow half-poking out of it, looking down. He felt that the little sparrow's expression was inexplicably similar to her. They both had the same pair of clear eyes.

"Don't think of me as so high and mighty. I'm just an ordinary person."

Jian Yi recalled some rumors that Lin Qingruan had told her. She reached out to brush the hair at the side of her neck, looked at him with pure eyes and said, "What a coincidence? There was a time when I often came here in the afternoon after school."

The weather was surprisingly good today, and in the evening the afterglow of the setting sun was still interweaving in the sky.

So this winter has a little more color, the golden sunshine shines on the corners of the clothes, as beautiful as the sunset on the golden mountain.

Behind me is a bustling crowd and a sacred mountain standing tall and unmoved in the wind and snow.

Jian Yi likes to see him trapped in the world of mortals.

In the end, Jin Yanchen held her hand and walked into the snow. The snow fell on his head, and her long hair was also messy in the wind.

She had a feeling of being pulled forward, and the warm palms against hers gave her a full sense of security. No matter which direction she went, she was willing to go.
