Snowy Night Kiss

Chapter 64 I Will Stand in Front of You

When coming out of Jian's house, Jian Yi realized that Jin Yanchen had driven here by himself today.

The road at the entrance of the alley was difficult to navigate, so he parked the car at the intersection where they first met.

Jian Yi was in a bad mood. Seeing that Jian Chengfeng had not yet recovered from his emotions, she didn't know what to say. She could only lower her head and push the umbrella handle towards Jin Yanchen, signaling him not to get himself wet.

Jin Yanchen stretched out his hands and lightly placed them on her shoulders. He chuckled, his tone normal.

"If you feel sorry for me, just come to me."

Jian Yi pursed her lips and moved closer to him obediently.

Jin Yanchen changed his hand to hold the umbrella and took her hand.

There was heavy rain and fog on the road ahead, and there were few pedestrians on the street. Their palms leaning against each other seemed as if their two hearts were so close.

Jian Yi asked: "Why are you here?"

"I went to pick you up from school, and I met your friend on the way and heard that you had returned home, so I came here to try my luck."

Jin Yanchen raised his eyebrows: "It seems that I am lucky."

"How about I pick you up from school every day from now on?"

In a flash, a thought flashed through Jian Yi's mind, and her heart skipped a beat. She subconsciously dug her nails into her palms, and quickly let go when she realized that they were holding hands tightly.

"Have you read my revenge diary?"

The so-called revenge diary is nothing more than a helpless cry when faced with many injustices as a child.

On the day Ni Daming was imprisoned, Jian Yi felt that he had overcome the biggest hurdle in his life.

She casually threw away the entire notebook full of bad notes, but she didn't expect Jin Yanchen to follow her and pick it up, carefully mending every broken corner of the book.

"Revenge diary? It seems all it records are regrets." Jin Yanchen raised his eyebrows. His frivolous and fearless tone happened to be the most charming color on him.

"Since you gave it to me, I will fulfill your wish."

Just like a magic trick, Jian Yi didn't know where Jin Yanchen took out her yellowed diary. When she lowered her eyes, not knowing how to react, Jin Yanchen had already stuffed the umbrella into her hands.

Then Jian Yi saw him tear off the first page cleanly.

Throwing it into the trash can on the side of the road is like removing the unpleasant memory from your mind.

Jian Yi watched his actions in silence.

When the piece of paper fell lightly into the trash can, she turned and held Jin Yanchen's hand.

His hands were long and strong, with distinct and prominent finger bones, and a strong sense of presence when he clenched his fists.

Jian Yi often wondered what kind of person Jin Yanchen was?

He always combined sharpness and tenderness with ease, pushing her into a mirage from which she would never want to wake up.

The rain was still falling, which was obviously the weather that Jian Yi hated the most. But at this moment, she hoped that this road would never come to an end.

She wanted to walk hand in hand with Jin Yanchen forever.

The white wall at the end of the alley came into view, and next to it was an octagonal pavilion where an old lady selling vegetables was sitting.

Jin Yanchen paused, and said as if he remembered something, "Xiaoyi, I haven't had dinner yet."

He squatted down and asked her in a casual tone, "Would you like to buy some vegetables?" Jian Yi understood what he meant. She nodded, and when she paid, she couldn't help but tilt her head to look at his profile.

It started to rain heavily when getting on the bus. Jian Yi looked back at the small pavilion from a distance. The old woman had sold her vegetables in time and did not have to go home in the pouring rain. She was also lucky enough to reach the bus just before her umbrella could no longer withstand the heavy rain.

Perhaps her smile was too obvious, Jin Yanchen's eyes couldn't help but fall on her face.

He snorted and asked knowingly, "Why are you so happy?"

"I feel like I am such a small person, but I can help others with just 8.40 yuan. How can I not be happy about such a fulfilling thing?"

Jian Yi held back his laughter, remembering that he had just subconsciously taken out his wallet but found that he didn't have the habit of carrying change. Fortunately, he had two small bills stuffed in the locker in the car to help him out. It was an encounter in itself. This was the first time that Jian Yi saw Jin Yanchen in such a lifelike scene.

Jin Yanchen knew what she was laughing at. He nodded slightly with his index finger on the steering wheel and listened to her words and thought about them seriously.

"If you measure it this way, eight dollars and forty cents for your happiness is more important to me than a million dollars."

Jian Yi's heartstrings were plucked, and the tires slowly moved towards the center of the city, taking her heart along with them.

Many different scenes suddenly appeared in her mind. Maybe in the future she and Jin Yanchen will have a home of their own. They will buy groceries and cook together, walk hand in hand after the rain, and have the most ordinary and simple happiness in life.

Will they have a future?
Jian Yi's heart gradually cooled down. She tilted her head to look at the lights of thousands of houses quietly lit up in the city, and said in an almost whisper, "Thank you, Jin Yanchen."

She rarely called him by his full name so solemnly. Jin Yanchen raised his eyebrows, turned the steering wheel neatly, stopped the car and looked back at her.

"Jian Yi, how did you get here before?"

This question made Jian Yi suddenly stunned.

She blinked and quickly turned her head to the side, trying to control her tone.

"If there's wind, I'll stop. If there's rain, I'll wait for it to stop. At worst, I'll just cover my ears and run. I'll never be knocked down."

The half-rolled car window was soaked with the coolness of late autumn. Jian Yi's eyes were slightly moist. She pushed open the car door and wanted to get out, but found that Jin Yanchen was standing in front of her without her knowing when.

A corner of his brown windbreaker was lifted by the wind, and one hand was lazily placed in his pocket, shielding her from the cold wind without leaving any trace.

Jin Yanchen held her hand and said, "I won't be afraid anymore."

Jian Yi's eyes flickered. The man's drooping figure was like a barrier, and the shadow that separated him naturally seemed to have the function of shielding from wind and rain. Before she could react, she heard the seat belt unfastened with a click, and her shoulders were hugged. The wind and rain of the world had nothing to do with her from then on. She clung tightly to Jin Yanchen's arms, and only the clear heartbeat in her ears could be heard.

Rapid, continuous heartbeats.

I don’t know whether it’s hers or Jin Yanchen’s.

When holding hands, Jian Yi could clearly feel the string of high-quality agarwood beads pressing against her wrist bone. When she raised her head and tried hard to look at Jin Yanchen, he was also lowering his head at the same time.

The moment their eyes met, Jin Yanchen looked at her and said, "If it's windy, I'll hug you. If it's raining, I'll hold out an umbrella. Don't be afraid. I'll stand in front of you."

Unlike his previous flirting gestures, Jin Yanchen's voice became deeper when he said this. His eyebrows and eyes were naturally regular, and when he looked at her with his dark eyes, some true feelings were reflected in them for no reason.

Jian Yi paused and nodded very slowly.

When going upstairs, Jin Yanchen threw the bought vegetables to the aunt. The aunt took them to wash and praised the freshness of today's green vegetables. She asked them where they bought them.

Jian Yi pursed her lips and said, "It's at the entrance of an alley. It's not a place that sells vegetables."

For fear of being asked more questions, Jian Yi hurriedly followed Jin Yanchen to the second floor. The embarrassment had reached its peak at this time. She felt that love made her walk on thin ice.

How could she honestly admit her terrible family situation?
