Snowy Night Kiss

Chapter 55 Then I am crazy for you, baby
Although the tone was so solemn and sincere, Jian Yi felt as if she was bewitched.

She squinted her eyes and looked at the vast night sky. If there really was a God in this world, then Jin Yanchen must be the evil demon who dragged her into the seven deadly sins.

"Why did you change cars?"

“This car has a lot of space.”

She picked up a CD and a delicate and melodious tone came in. Jin Yanchen tilted his head to look at her amid the gorgeous lyrics. He would not say that he had postponed an important meeting today to come and see her. It was an emergency, so he just found a car downstairs of the company.

He would just lazily look at her and smile, and then say meaningfully, "It's convenient for doing other things, and it's also earthquake-proof."

Jian Yi's eyes widened instantly. She had never thought that the purpose would make her pale. Her jade-like face, which was as white as hibiscus, was instantly painted with rouge red. She stammered and couldn't speak, as if she was shocked.

Jin Yanchen laughed. It seemed like it was really fun to tease her. He stretched out the back of his hand and rubbed her cheek. He closed his eyes and asked her with a sneer, "What are you thinking about, Xiaoyi?"

There was a faint quarrel upstairs, but because they were in the hospital, they soon quieted down.

Jian Yi then asked him: "What is this, Kunqu opera or some other kind of opera?"

“It’s Kunqu Opera.”

The classic Peony Pavilion, with its melodious and lingering singing, is most touching.

Jian Yi said, "In the past, on festival nights, the town would invite a troupe to perform at home. I was young at the time and didn't understand, but I thought it was very beautiful."

Jin Yanchen smiled after hearing this: "Really?"

"Singing, dancing, and fighting all require a foundation, and the best years of one's life are limited to those few years."

Jian Yi pursed her lips, her heart beating fast. She pinched the corner of her clothes that had just been lifted up because of the lingering, and looked at him boldly and said, "I used to live in Qingfeng Town."

"Where is Jiangnan?"

Jin Yanchen looked down at the wrist she had placed on her knees and felt that it was still missing a pair of white jade bracelets.

He answered absentmindedly: "No wonder you have a soft temper, it turns out you were raised in the water town of Jiangnan."

Jian Yi took a breath and no longer had any interest in talking.

She looked back at the moon on the eaves. The bright moon was hanging in the sky and the sky was clear and cold. To her it was a precious memory, but to others it might just be a fleeting glimpse.

Jian Yi did not force this love. Secret love has always been a one-man show. She chose to sow the seeds and naturally had to swallow the bitter fruit alone.

The past was quickly put aside by her, and she listened quietly to the end of the play. When she sang the line "You are as beautiful as a flower, and time passes like flowing water. I have searched for you everywhere, and you feel sorry for yourself in your secluded room", Jin Yanchen blinked with feeling.

It was a very light movement, but the simplicity was captured.

She asked softly, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing." Jin Yanchen smiled, "I haven't driven this car for a long time. I almost forgot there was a record here."

His heart seemed to be open in this quiet night. Jin Yanchen did not deliberately hide the past and told her calmly, "This song was sung by my mother."

"She was from the Central Drama Song and Dance Troupe. She came to Hong Kong to sing that year and met my father."

Jian Yi couldn't help but ask: "What happened next?"

"Then they settled down in Hong Kong, got married and had children, and were as addicted to love as anyone else. Later, when the family got a TV, she saw the man she had been thinking about day and night on the financial reports, and also saw the woman standing next to my father."

Jin Yanchen lowered his head and reached for a cigarette. The midsummer weather was a bit dull after the rain. He opened the car door, stood outside, lit a cigarette, and turned sideways to face her.

“When a woman hears a man say I love you, she goes crazy and loses all her reason and calmness.”

Jian Yi stuck her head out of the window and asked, "What if a woman said it to a man?" Jin Yanchen raised his eyebrows: "Same."

Jian Yi said "oh" slowly, and then there was the sound of the door opening, and then the clacking sound of her small leather boots stepping on the concrete floor, like an elf approaching quietly in the dark night, wrapping around his waist seductively even though silently.

Jin Yanchen paused while smoking, and used his free hand to pinch her little finger, the thin and soft knuckles. When he chose the diamond ring, he specially asked someone to adjust the size, but unfortunately she never wore it.

The night was when they were closest to each other. Jian Yi's head was against his back. She wondered if she could hear his heartbeat from this angle.

She smiled slyly, stood on tiptoe and whispered in his ear word by word -
"I love you."

After saying this, she loosened her arms around his waist, walked around in front of him, looked up at him with an undisguised smile, waiting to see him being "irrational, not calm, and about to go crazy."

Jin Yanchen was stunned at first, and the cigarette between his two fingers fell to the ground. The fire was extinguished, and his eyes became dark and turbulent.

The little girl, who was only smiling, didn't seem to be aware of the danger at all. She climbed on his arm and deliberately seduced him, "What flavor is your cigarette today?"

"Come and taste it?"

It was a misty gray. Jin Yanchen narrowed his eyes and accurately held her lips. He kissed her fiercely and quickly, and his fingers touched the most fragile skin on her neck.

Jian Yi finally tasted the raging flavor of the cigar as she wished. She felt a spicy sensation on the tip of her tongue, and her taste buds turned into unbearably sweet sugar cubes. She squinted her eyes and put her hand into his hair.

"Even if you don't speak, I can still feel your lack of calmness and rationality."

During the break, Jian Yi panted and whispered these words in his ear. She almost had a crystal clear heart and could see through people's minds easily.

Even if Jin Yanchen was as dark as a man, being able to glimpse a bit of his true feelings tonight was enough to make her happy.

Jin Yanchen hugged her waist and easily reversed their positions. The transparent car window reflected her blushing cheeks, but her eyes were bright and clear, as if she wanted to see him clearly.

He chuckled in a genuine Beijing accent, and the lingering tune flowed from her ears to her heart, it was extremely evil.

"Then consider me crazy about you, baby."
-
The news of Ni Daming’s verdict came out three months later.

When she heard the news, Jian Yi was having breakfast in the eastern suburbs.

While spreading blueberry jam on the fragrant and crispy corn cheese toast, she calculated that after ten years, Ni Daming would be an old man in his sixties.

As Jin Yanchen said, she really didn't need to be afraid of anything about this person anymore.

At a quarter past seven, she took the Metro Line 1 near Dongjiao on time and called Jin Yanchen by the way.

She could hardly hide her good mood. Jin Yanchen on the other end of the phone pressed his eyebrows and asked her, "Did you see the news this morning?"

Jian Yi hummed, and then thought of the fact that he was now abroad, so she couldn't help but ask, "Do you still have time to read domestic news?"

Of course he was busy, as he had a pile of reports of all sizes to sign. Fortunately, he had arranged with his secretary in advance so he was able to say "congratulations" to her in time.

Jin Yanchen naturally wouldn't say this, as the crowded morning rush hour was the only precious time for the two of them to communicate during these days.

He held the phone closer and seemed to be able to hear her voice through the microphone.

He chuckled and whispered, "I missed you so much."

Jian Yi's face suddenly flushed. She felt a little embarrassed, but still said to him in a very soft voice, "I miss you, too."

It’s strange to say, when Jin Yanchen was around, she felt very comfortable living alone at the entrance of the alley, but when he left on a business trip, she felt very uncomfortable and even often sneaked back to the eastern suburbs to sleep alone.

The property management of the community had informed them in advance. Jin Yanchen found her behavior funny, but still told her very considerately, "There are my shirts in the cloakroom. If you really miss me, you can hold them while you sleep."
