Snowy Night Kiss

Chapter 36 Should I leave?

The eastern suburbs have experienced a cycle of withering and flourishing with each passing year; the mountains, rivers, grass and trees are all the same as before. Jin Yanchen's vision gradually becomes blurred; in the rain and fog, it seems that there is a slender figure gradually walking away into the distance. He tried his best to shout but could not make a sound. He waited for the tragic news of his mother's suicide at the door locked with an iron chain.

Looking back for the last time, Jin Yanchen had lost all power to remain calm. He looked at everything in front of him with hatred, laughed and said, "You don't have to worry about me living too well. I am tired and disgusted with all emotions. Even seeing you will only make me sick for having dirty blood."

The snow was falling heavily. Jin Yanchen raised his hands with great effort and held the small camellia pot on the windowsill in his arms.

Every step he took was difficult. Perhaps he had stood in the courtyard for too long. The cold took away all his strength, leaving him with only a shell that could move forward for the sake of atonement.

I don't know when a white umbrella appeared in my field of vision. It was the most common transparent long-handled umbrella in the convenience store, but it was like an invisible cover. The bizarre world was isolated. Jin Yanchen looked up and saw a pair of eyes purer than those in the snowy night.

Jian Yi didn't say a word. She just walked silently to his side, supported him with her thin arms, and told him not to bend his knees.

After entering Dongjiao, Jian Yi closed all the doors and windows. The fireplace was very warm, and she stood there looking at Jin Yanchen for a long time, and finally walked behind him and chose to give him a hug that would never let go.

Later, the hug was interrupted by the rude doorbell. Jian Yi went to open the door and saw a man who claimed to be Chairman Jin's special assistant standing outside.

Song Ming handed her a painting and calligraphy: "Miss Jian, this is a gift from the chairman."

Jian Yi quietly opened the calligraphy. It was a beautiful calligraphy with great power. The four simple words "the difference between heaven and earth" seemed to be opening its mouth to bite her.

She laughed and called Song Ming, saying, "Please thank Master Jin for me. But even though he is a cloud and I am mud, I don't want to cling to him."

Their eyes met silently and Song Ming's heart moved slightly. The 19-year-old girl's eyes were clear. A blatant insult was handed to her, but she was still able to speak to him calmly. This great wisdom beyond her age was enough to make him look up to her.

He smiled slightly: "I will bring it to you, Miss Jane."

When Jian Yi returned, it was already dark. She turned on a guide light in front of the door and looked up to see Jin Yanchen leaning against the balcony vent smoking.

He was always indifferent. After talking with Old Man Jin, his expression was horrible for only a moment, and soon turned into a long silence.

Jian Yi knew nothing about his past, but she moved towards him without hesitation.

She placed the inscription by Mr. Jin on the coffee table in the living room. Jin Yanchen also saw it. He was surrounded by a sense of emptiness and desolation. Blue-gray smoke rose slowly, and a hint of coldness melted into his pupils, making him look distant and unapproachable.

Jian Yi looked at him calmly.

Even though her heart was clenched because she didn't know what the conversation was about, she was still able to smile calmly and look up and ask him innocently, "Are we breaking up?"

After thinking about it for a while, he felt that this word was not appropriate, so Jian Yi changed his words more sensibly, "Should I leave?"

Jin Yanchen looked at her
The cigarette butt he was holding had already burned to the end, the scarlet blood was right in front of him, but he just looked at her.

She regarded separation as the norm, which was why she seemed so calm at this time.

Jin Yanchen threw away the cigarette butt and walked into the hall. The darkness on his shoulders faded away. He held the back of her hand, leaned over and kissed her, giving her the most reassuring answer.

"Not separated."

The harsh winter seemed to have ended in this rain, and this always carnival holiday finally came to an end.

When Jian Yi stepped into the school again, she could clearly feel the changes. All traces of Lin Qingruan were wiped out, and she returned to her solitary life. The difference was that this time, someone would wait for her after class.

The seats in the first three rows of professional courses were still so hard to get, so Jian Yi subconsciously took up an extra seat. By the time she realized what was going on, the seats around her were already full. She took the book back and reviewed the content of the class in advance.

The weather today is really good. The large patches of sunshine are like midsummer, and the dead vines and leaves by the wall are coated with a layer of warm golden halo. Jian Yi has a high ponytail, her face is fair and delicate, and she is holding a pen and taking notes very seriously.

It was not until the teacher assigned a group discussion assignment that she looked up and suddenly realized that someone was sitting next to her.

So it was natural for them to form a group and have an impromptu discussion in class.

Jian Yi noticed the name written on his book, so she smiled slightly and said, "Lin Yuan, hello. My name is Jian Yi."

"I, I know you." The boy, whose name was suddenly called, looked up in panic, his eyes were full of confusion, and he couldn't help stuttering when he spoke, "Don't you remember me? We met in the library."

Jian Yi exclaimed, it was such a distant memory that she pretended to suddenly realize something and said, "So it's you." Only then did she remember that he was the boy who posted her on an anonymous confession wall after failing to strike up a conversation with her.

Jian Yi snorted and chuckled, leaning on his arms and waiting calmly for his next words.

She didn't know when she had learned Jin Yanchen's calm demeanor. Seeing the young man's ears reddening and shortness of breath, and his nervous look that made him unable to speak, she laughed to herself and said magnanimously, "I don't care."

"I was too impulsive that day. I actually wanted to ask everyone if there was any way to pursue you." Lin Yuan scratched his head. It was still late winter with temperatures below zero, but he was only wearing a thin fleece jacket, looking very youthful.

Impulse is a reason that can solve most problems. Jian Yi did not comment on this. She asked, "Do you still want to pursue me now?"

Lin Yuan was stunned for a moment, and all his preparations were interrupted by her straightforwardness. He became speechless again.

He said carefully: "Instead of chasing you, how about we talk about studying?"

After a holiday of seeking scriptures, Lin Yuan finally mastered some methods of pursuing girls. When he saw the girl sitting under the window sill with her eyebrows slightly relaxed and her hand ready to take the book away from him at any time, he breathed a sigh of relief.

He pressed on: "I'm a senior in the business school."

"I remember you, Senior Lin Yuan from the Business School, GPA 3.8+, we were competitors for the National Scholarship last year."

Lin Yuan also laughed along with her unconsciously: "Well, I lost to you."

For the first time, he felt that losing to someone else was something worth celebrating. He was also happy that they had something in common.

Jian Yi seemed to have rarely seen such a heartfelt smile. She liked this rare academic atmosphere of like-minded people very much, so she opened a rare topic and asked, "Don't you need to be busy preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination and the civil service examination in your third year of college?"

"I plan to go abroad, and I just need to prepare the application materials." After saying this, Lin Yuan paused and hurriedly said, "Not necessarily, I may stay in China."

Jian Yi hummed softly: "I also plan to go abroad."

"Really? Where do you want to go? England, America or Germany?" Lin Yuan said immediately with ecstasy in his heart, "I can accompany you wherever you want to go."
