Snowy Night Kiss

Chapter 73 Stop losses in time
Thanks to Song Zhi's birthday party, Jian Yi met many like-minded classmates in school. They signed up for the tax elite business competition in early January, and several people agreed to meet up an hour before class to make preliminary plans for the team.

In the past, Jian Yi would not have participated in such a group competition.

She is deliberately closing herself off emotionally, or perhaps because she grew up in a bad family environment, she really lacks the ability to experience love.

But Jin Yanchen has already paved the way for her here, so she has no reason not to take a step forward.

Lin Yuan was also in this group. He was the president of the student union and easily borrowed empty classrooms and multimedia usage rights for them.

The moment he saw Jian Yi, he was so embarrassed that he didn't know what to do.

Jian Yi walked over calmly and greeted him as usual, "What a coincidence, you are also participating in the competition?"

"I participated twice and made it to the finals, but didn't win any prizes."

Lin Yuan is very popular in this circle, and almost everyone in the team knows him.

Based on his previous experience, he gave everyone a preliminary introduction to the rules and tactics of the game. Jian Yi listened and took notes. When it came time to elect the captain, the air suddenly became quiet.

Someone started to make a noise: "Why don't you still take over, Brother Yuan? It was you in the past two years."

Lin Yuan said: "Jian Yi, do you want to be the captain?"

The whole room was filled with jokes, and the boy's thoughts were clear. Lin Yuan felt even more embarrassed by the noise, and added, "Your grades are better than mine."

"This is my first time participating and I have no experience, so I am not suitable to be the captain." Jian Yi smiled, "Business competitions are like battlefields, and the gentlemanly virtue of yielding to girls is not important."

After many twists and turns, the position of captain finally fell to Lin Yuan.

At this moment, there was less than half an hour left before class started and the crowd was about to disperse. Lin Yuan couldn't help but slow down his pace.

He stood far behind and watched Jian Yi's back as he left.

She always has a calm demeanor. You say she is cold, yet she moves freely in every situation. You say she is enthusiastic, yet her eyes are rarely moved.

He couldn't help but secretly rejoice at the unintentional jokes from the crowd, but when he hid his feelings and looked up, he saw her sitting calmly in the public opinion, lightly glancing over the topic while chatting and laughing.

Lin Yuan immediately felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured over him. He clenched his fists, but the rationality that he had repeatedly suppressed suddenly failed to hold back, and he stopped her and asked:
"Simple meaning."

"Can I ask you a question?"

Jian Yi stopped. The teammates in front of her had already walked far away. She could probably guess what Lin Yuan was going to say. She stood at the door of the classroom with a bright and clear look.

"But before you ask questions, I want to return this gift to you. I like it very much, but I can't bear the thought. I think it deserves the girl who will cherish you in the future."

"You've met my boyfriend, right? Last time at school."

Lin Yuan hummed, and he recalled that overly hot summer when the low-key and restrained Bugatti was parked under the shade of the sycamore tree. At that time, there were vague rumors in the school, but he didn't believe them.

Later he saw Jian Yi running under the tree with a smile on her face. That was the first time he saw her express her emotions openly.

What I have said here should be clear enough. Jian Yi always makes decisions without delay on any matter.

She said: "I think emotions and life can be separated. In other words, I won't regard this as a problem for me, and you don't have to feel too burdened. On the contrary, I am very grateful for your appreciation of me."

Lin Yuan smiled slightly: "Okay, you can't force yourself to like something, so I wish us good results in the business competition."

"The captain must treat us to a meal then."

"No problem." Lin Yuan agreed readily, "But you are not allowed to bring your family members to torture us singles to death."

Let Jin Yanchen go out with a group of college students to eat hot pot and barbecue?

Jian Yi really couldn't imagine this scene.

She smiled and asked as she was about to leave, "By the way, what was the question you wanted to ask just now?"

Lin Yuan raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that she still remembered this sentence.

He was also straightforward: "Just now I wanted to ask you what kind of person you like, but the answer is not important now." Jian Yi thought for a moment: "I don't have an ideal type." She paused for a moment, then raised her voice lightly, "There is only one specific person I like."

Jin Yanchen had to attend a banquet today and couldn't escape it. After drinking for half an hour, he made a phone call.

Jian Yi had just finished class, and the ringing bell was disturbing. She could only hear the loud and intense music on the other end of the microphone, like some grand carnival. In comparison, Jin Yanchen's voice sounded particularly low and cold.

He asked: "Where?"

Jian Yi smiled and said, "Checking my post?"

The other end laughed softly, Jin Yanchen raised his eyelids, the golden wine in the glass swayed, and he laughed casually, "How dare I."

"How about you check me out?"

"Okay." Jian Yi agreed naturally, "How do I check?"

Jin Yanchen reported an address. Jian Yi silently repeated it in her mind and felt vaguely familiar with the place name. "The one on the east side of the Second Ring Road?"

"Well, you take a taxi here, and I'll reimburse you."

The sky was gray. It was late autumn. The dry wind blew the fallen leaves on the ground in circles. Jian Yi strolled to the bus stop to wait for the No. 28 bus. This bus stop had accompanied her for three years in college. The route remained the same as it had been for many years, but it seemed that every time she set out, it was a new destination.

The noisy voices on the other end of the phone, and the occasional clear sound of wine glasses clinking, are like an invisible hook, instantly bringing the simple memories to a life of dreams and intoxication.

She said to Jin Yanchen, "Boss Jin is very wealthy, but I'm taking the bus today, so I'll have to wait."

A quarter after five, the sky was about to darken. Jin Yanchen smiled suddenly when he heard her words, "It's up to you. I just hope that when you come, I won't be so drunk that I can't walk."

His tone is lazy, and when he relaxes, he unconsciously speaks in a rising Beijing accent.

Jian Yi really enjoyed his tone of voice. She secretly calculated the duration of the journey and when the car stopped at the next stop, she gritted her teeth and got off to take a taxi.

Taxis in Kyoto are very easy to get. You can hail one anywhere on the roadside. The reason is simple: the routes are short and the prices are high. If you are not a local, you will definitely choose the longest route and take two detours.

So Jian Yi said as soon as he got in the car: "Please hurry up, I'm in a hurry."

She was still dressed like a student, but her demeanor was calm and confident. The driver looked back and asked, "Are you a local?"

"Are you still in school?"

The car slowly drove away. Jian Yi stared at the street view outside the window and answered, "I didn't go to school. I got married. My husband ran away. I'm going to look for him now."

The driver stared at the destination, seeing the three words "Nightclub" clearly written on it, and his expression suddenly became complicated.

The half-hour-long journey became extremely quiet. Perhaps the driver was afraid that people would run away, so he stepped on the accelerator very quickly all the way, and arrived at the destination much earlier than Jian Yi expected.

The driver kindly gave her a small change, and just before he stepped on the accelerator to drive away, he suddenly rolled down the window and said to her, "Girl, you are still young, so you can stop the loss if you turn back sooner."

Jian Yi paused.

She turned around and smiled: "I see, thank you."

Stop loss in time.

But Jian Yi is the kind of person who insists on going down a path until the end.

"Hello, where is Box 4?"

She came alone, and the front desk lady looked suspicious. After a while, she replied cautiously, "Please wait a moment. I'll make a phone call."

"Are you Miss Jane?"

Jian Yi nodded, and immediately pressed the elevator button, "I'll take you upstairs."
