Snowy Night Kiss

Chapter 78 It won’t be sunny without you
Jian Yi felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

She realized that she was probably too immersed in her own world and rarely looked at things from another perspective. Her lips moved slightly, and she wanted to say something, but tears flowed uncontrollably.

"sorry."

"I thought you didn't want to have anything to do with me. Our statuses are not compatible. I was also worried about the gossip from my classmates, about them finding out about my family, about them calling me a materialist. I had too many things to worry about..."

The heating was turned on at home early, but Jian Yi felt as cold as if she was in an ice cellar.

She was breathing rapidly, eager to cut open her heart and show it to him.

"I thought I loved you with all my heart, but until today, I realized that my love was selfish and heavy."

"Sorry……"

Jian Yi was in a state of confusion, but her mind completely calmed down at this moment. She turned her head to look at Jin Yanchen. Even when they were hugging, his attitude was not humble. He looked down at her indifferently, always with an attitude of indifference.

Yes, their relationship is unequal.

Jin Yanchen doesn't even need love.

But Jian Yi sadly discovered that love was the only thing she could offer.

"What are you talking about?"

Jin Yanchen raised his eyebrows, wiped away the tears from her eyes with his fingertips, and then caressed her thin shoulders with the slight warmth.

The back is as raised and graceful as a swan, but it feels so missing in love.

"I don't mean that much, and I'm not asking you to reflect. I just want to tell you--" Jin Yanchen paused and turned her to face him.

"I don't want you to depend on me, but at least you shouldn't be too independent."

"You never told me anything about your family, and I respect you. But I also want to tell you that if I knew something, I would not feel burdened or look down on you because of it."

Jin Yanchen bent down and looked at her straight in the face. This was a humble gesture that he rarely made, and it was also a rare serious tone that he used.

"Just like the name of this villa, Zhong Yi means Zhong Yi. If you are willing to rely on me, I will let you rely on me. If you want to be independent, I will listen to you."

"But there is only one thing, don't be so stubborn. Life is just a dream, I would rather you be happy every day."

Today, Jian Yi understands the meaning of the phrase "Everyone loves Jin Yanchen" that is often said in the romantic world.

The world was just an unintentional beautiful dream of his, but the ripples left by the stunning moment all landed on her heart.

She reached out to wipe away her tears, and was glad that she didn't wear any makeup today, so her tears wouldn't look too embarrassing.

"understood."

Jian Yi snuggled into his arms again, the simple wood scent carrying the body temperature she longed for.

Tonight, she will give it all.

Jin Yanchen lowered his head and played with her hair. He pinched the ends of her black hair between his two fingers, and lightly brushed across the weakest part of her neck skin like a feather.

His lips were close to her ears, and he asked in a hoarse voice, "Well, ask the question again now."

The question just now?
Jian Yi didn't understand why but still did it.

She asked: "Jin Yanchen, why are you angry?"

Jin Yanchen smiled and held her waist tightly: "It's because the weather is too bad today."

He easily smoothed over all the unpleasantness of the day, and the haze was dispelled with just one sentence. Jian Yi was deeply attracted by his emotional stability that his peers did not possess.

She buried her head in his arms, her fragile neck completely exposed, in deep fascination.

"Then I hope it will always be sunny."

But the next second, she heard words that almost made her hopeless.

Jin Yanchen said: "It won't be a sunny day without you."

On December 12st, the New Year atmosphere was the strongest. Even a quiet person like Jin Yanchen had to follow Aunt Ling's instructions to add some New Year mascots at home. Jian Yi didn't like New Year's celebrations, so she planned to spend the last day of the year alone in the audio-visual room. The audio-visual room had a starry sky ceiling, and when she looked up, she felt a sense of unreality and vagueness.

Messages came in very quickly on the phone at this time. Among the many auspicious new year wishes, she could easily find three or two text messages wishing her a happy birthday.

One is from China Mobile and the other is from a Taobao merchant.

Jian Yi pursed her lips and threw her phone into the sofa. She just thought that today was not her birthday.

She went downstairs to get a glass of honey water and saw Song Zhi sitting downstairs. She had been coming here very frequently in the past few days. It was said that she was ordered by Mr. Jin to come here and learn how to manage a company from Jin Yanchen.

The bottom line is that she messed up the company's accounts.

Knowing that there was no chance of getting along with Jian Yi, Song Zhi simply stopped pretending to be nice and when he saw her coming downstairs, he said sarcastically, "Tomorrow is New Year's Day, why don't you go home?"

Before she came, she had already found out about Jian Yi's background. He came from an ordinary family and his parents were very strict. In Song Zhi's words, he was just a poor guy with nowhere to go.

The difference in status always makes her feel superior, and even her tone of voice unconsciously carries a hint of bullying.

Jian Yi stood on the escalator on the second floor and looked at her coldly.

She was not surprised by Song Zhi's attitude. Jin Yanchen built a fairy tale garden for her. Jian Yi was at ease in it, but she never forgot the rumors outside the garden.

Song Zhi's current attitude is nothing more than revealing the ugliest side of himself to her.

Not used to being looked down upon, Song Zhi glared at her, "Hey, why don't you come down and talk to me?"

"Song Zhi, who taught you to talk like this here?"

A voice came from the tea room next door, young but with a deep and magnetic voice, and carrying the majesty of a superior.

Jian Yixin calmed down, the atmosphere of confrontation in the air dissipated, and her back, which had been straight due to tension, relaxed slightly.

Song Zhi's face didn't look good.

Then I heard Jin Yanchen say, "Today is a statutory holiday, so we won't talk about official business."

This is a clear order to leave, the sofa is slightly concave

The man sat in a corner, looking lazy and casual, wearing a light-colored home suit. He stretched his long legs forward and looked at her with an unclear smile.

Cheng Ning was also in the tea room. He was very tactful and rushed to the rescue so that the brother and sister, who were not on good terms with each other, would not get too embarrassed.

"The old man also told me to buy sacrificial offerings. Miss Song, would you like to give me a ride to the city?"

The morning scene was ruined again.

Jian Yi couldn't tell whether he was in a good or bad mood. He yawned and prepared to go back to his room to catch up on some sleep.

Jin Yanchen called her.

He asked, "Xiaoyi, don't you have any appointments for New Year's Eve today?"

Maybe he said this unintentionally, but it really hurt Jian Yi's heart.

She looked up at the calendar hanging on the fireplace again, and her heart sank. She was no longer in the mood to celebrate the New Year.

Jian Yi said: "I don't want to celebrate the New Year and get another year older."

Jin Yanchen chuckled: "A girl in her early twenties is afraid of getting old?"

The curtains in the room were thick, and when they were drawn the room became dark, regardless of day or night.

Jian Yi was meditating silently in the dark night. She thought of many things in the past. When the memories came rushing back at her, she could not stand such tiredness and fell into a deep sleep on the velvet bed.

The next time I woke up was at 7:15 in the evening.
