Snowy Night Kiss

Chapter 79 Can I accompany you to achieve it?
She didn't know when the heating in the room was turned off. When she woke up, there was a cup of warm water on the bedside. Jian Yi put her fingertips on the edge of the cup. It was just the right temperature. She thought that the person must have left not long ago.

Jian Yi planned to go out and buy herself a mini birthday cake, but then she thought that many businesses would be closed tonight.

Today is a day for the whole family to celebrate, but unfortunately no one remembered her birthday.

She deleted all the spam messages as she walked downstairs. When she reached the last step, the lights in the living room suddenly lit up, as if a long-planned dance party had been delayed because of her, the late hostess.

Jian Yi stood there in a daze.

A vague thought that made her feel extremely surprised was about to burst through her whole being.

The double-layered ice cream mousse cake was served to those who were invited to attend, all of whom were her close friends and classmates. Lin Qingruan stood at the front and said to her with a smile, "Happy birthday, Jianyi."

This was the first time that Jian Yi became the focus of the crowd.

She doesn't have to do anything, just stand there and she will receive birthday cards from everyone. This is the scene she has imagined countless times in her life, just stand there, without doing anything, and love will come to her.

The last person to present a gift was the British tutor she had greeted last time. He lived nearby and had a good personal relationship with Jin Yanchen. He presented her with a classic Parker fountain pen and patted her on the shoulder to show encouragement.

"Happy 20th birthday, 20th birthday is infinite, I wish you success soon."

Jian Yi hummed softly. She was not a person who showed her emotions, but her eyes were wet at this moment. Her heart, which had fallen to the bottom of the valley, was lifted up to the highest heaven again. For the first time in her life, she was surrounded by people to cut the huge birthday cake that was a full twelve inches long.

The students in the front row came over to listen to the gossip and laughed as they picked out the rumors about her love life.

"Jian Yi, what's your boyfriend like?"

What is Jin Yanchen like?

Hearing this, Jian Yi couldn't help but turn around and look back.

A huge crowd of people gathered together, but he was lazily leaning in a corner of the hall, playing with a silver lighter in his palm. When he saw her looking at him, he looked up indifferently and pressed the lighter nonchalantly.

The indigo flame lit up, and his eyes were filled with warm light, and for a moment he seemed full of tenderness.

In this grand carnival.

Jin Yanchen smiled calmly, and across the surging crowd, they raised their glasses to celebrate her twentieth birthday.

They have a feeling that they are secretly in love with each other across the world.

Jian Yi smiled and turned back, answering her friend's question, "My boyfriend, he--"

"I am a romantic poet who would say I love you means it's not a sunny day without you."
-
A waltz was playing in the hall.

As the host of the party, Jian Yi quietly left the chair. Following Aunt Ling's instructions, she found Jin Yanchen under the osmanthus tree in the back garden.

The man leaned lazily under the tree, a scarlet light flashing on his fingertips. He smoked slowly, his eyes fixed on the western-style building where carnivals were taking place day and night, revealing a natural dignity and composure.

Jian Yi walked up behind him, snapped a few photos with the camera in her hand, and suddenly said, "I caught you smoking, right? I'm going to report you to Aunt Ling."

It was now very dark and the weather was cold. The withered branches in the garden were covered with a layer of icy frost. When Jian Yi leaned against Jin Yanchen, she also felt a layer of late frost on his body.

So what about Jin Yanchen?

He seemed to be unable to sense the temperature, almost blending into the night. The scattered light illuminated the dark under his eyes, and he smiled, opening his coat and embracing her.

Jian Yi got into his arms, but still said, "Auntie Ling made me a cake today, I can't repay kindness with hatred."

Jin Yanchen raised his eyebrows, rubbed the turtleneck sweater at her neck with his fingertips and asked with a smile, "How about I bribe you?"

Jian Yi looked up and asked him, "How do you bribe me?"

He didn't say anything, but the smile in his eyes was almost overflowing. He had a naturally affectionate face when he smiled. He reached out and pinched her chin. Instantly, the fragrance of sandalwood hit her face. The temperature of his body was cold, but his lips were warm.

Jian Yi didn't close her eyes this time.

Jin Yanchen's face came closer and closer, and gradually condensed into a silhouette in her eyes. It was like a moment of pause, and when she opened her eyes, the picture immediately disappeared.

Jian Yi looked at him angrily: "Is this called bribery?" "You are clearly taking advantage of me."

Jin Yanchen smiled and wiped the corner of his lips with two fingers. The light pink color was the trace left by her lipstick. He smiled frivolously, tapped the corner of his mouth, and said in an ambiguous tone, "Who is taking advantage of whom?"

Jian Yi's breathing quickened slightly, and she didn't want to admit that her breathing was affected by his brief kiss.

She turned her head away deliberately, but stretched out her hand towards him, "Jin Yanchen, don't I have a gift tonight?"

"Strawberry cake isn't a gift?"

"That was done by Aunt Ling."

"How do you know it's filled with strawberry?"

Jin Yanchen's eyebrows moved slightly, and his light gaze moved downwards, landing squarely on her lips.

Jian Yi reacted immediately and subconsciously covered her mouth, her cheeks flushed. Then she heard Jin Yanchen say with lingering feelings, "It's quite sweet."

There is no way to go further into this topic.

The light was dim in the garden and woods, with the swaying shadows of the trees naturally blocking the view. There were only a few birds chirping, and the world seemed so desolate that it seemed as if only the two of them were left.

Jian Yi stood beside Jin Yanchen. From his point of view, the lights in Jian Yi's house in the distance were bright and there was joy all day and night, but he, the host, was like a bystander, cold and lonely.

Perhaps this is a rare attitude of his, but Jian Yi always feels that the loneliness in the darkness is the real him.

"Why don't you go dance in the front room?"

"I don't want to go."

Jian Yi shook her head and imitated his tone, "It's boring when you're not here."

Jin Yanchen snorted, indulged her tricks, and pulled her forward lovingly.

Jian Yi, however, stopped moving forward.

Her gaze overlapped with Jin Yanchen's who was looking back at her for a moment, and the moment they looked at each other, she spoke directly from her heart.

"Jin Yanchen, let's go abroad together."

"Your unfulfilled dream of going abroad, how about I help you realize it?"

She still remembers that worn-out report card. The reason why old things have not been thrown away as garbage is definitely because they carry value beyond the item itself.

Maybe it's a pity.

It was the most grand vision of the future that the 18-year-old Jin Yanchen had.

Then it died and was destroyed, and had to be locked in a dark compartment.

Something flowed through Jian Yi's heart. The soil in her heart seemed to loosen, and something broke out of the ground. She took a deep breath and analyzed the situation in the calmest tone.

"The domestic market has been almost fully occupied. If we want to develop, we have to find another way. I think the future trend of economic development is still global integration. It is quite beneficial to spend two years abroad."

The cold wind was howling, and unfortunately, they were standing right in the wind.

Jin Yanchen turned sideways, his mind seemingly not on what she said, his eyes, lowered in thought, fell on her, without any extra expression, but Jian Yi felt quite oppressed.

Jian Yi gritted her teeth and met his gaze, her clear eyes filled with a determination to break through in order to build up.

"Small."

Jin Yanchen laughed with an ambiguous meaning: "Your intention is only for future development?"
