Snowy Night Kiss

Chapter 99 Jin Yanchen, let's stop here

It was a deep hug, so deep that their two hearts were pressed tightly together and their body contours were almost embedded together.

Jian Yi's voice was very hoarse, and if you listened carefully you could tell it sounded like fine sand being rolled over. She was extremely tired tonight, and she lay quietly and silently on the man's shoulder. After a long time, she raised her head and looked forward, and suddenly she was surprised to find that the rain had stopped and the sky was clear.

Jin Yanchen's shoulders were wet. He had taken on all the wind and rain before her.

"Jin Yanchen, I want to go home." Jian Yi said softly, her eyes difficult to open due to the soreness. She smelled the scent of peace of mind in the darkness, and snuggled in his arms like a tired bird.

Jin Yanchen held her and walked slowly forward.

He never paused as he walked, and he never looked back as he passed by the Jin family members who had rushed over after hearing the news.

Jin Ming shouted at him urgently: "Yanchen, stop!"

Jin Yanchen still moved forward. Once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back. They are walking on a path that goes against destiny.

When she returned home, Jian Yi felt a little cold. She leaned on the balcony railing and couldn't stop coughing.

Jin Yanchen tilted his head to look at her and said, "Come in, it's cold outside."

"No." Jian Yi shook his head. "I want to see this place. I want to see the place in this city with my name on it."

The early morning sky seemed to be covered with a layer of gray fog. In the distance, the mist was dim and the mountains and rivers were invisible. A gust of wind blew by, lighting up thousands of lights. The city began to light up, and the faint sound of car horns sounded like a distant horn. This perspective was always the same as what Jian Yi saw when he was at home.

At that time, she always liked to go up to the balcony on the second floor and look out into the distance. She wondered what the world was like outside the town, and what the scenery was like in Kyoto, where a man named Jin Yanchen lived.

This year's Lunar New Year came particularly late, so all in all they have known each other for two years.

But for some reason, Jian Yi felt that these two years were as long as a lifetime. Perhaps the good memories would always be stretched infinitely long in his mind.

She looked at Jin Yanchen quietly, seeing his deep face hidden in the mist of the green mountains.

Cold brows and a stiff back; in fact, people always misjudge him, thinking that he is merely pursuing fame and fortune, but not knowing that a sincere heart is the most valuable.

"Happy New Year in advance." Jian Yi turned around and held his hand with a smile. Like a proper housewife, she kept scolding him, "You should smoke less in the future and find someone you like to accompany you for the rest of your life."

When Jian Yi said this, tears rolled down his cheeks. She reached out and stroked his eyes, describing every mark under his eyes. She choked up and said, "Don't be lonely. Sit upright in your seat and never be covered in dust."
-
If you love someone, you don't want him to fall from the platform.

Jian Yi quietly savored the bitterness of these words. She stood quietly beside Jin Yanchen, their shadows embracing each other on the green bricks and tiles under the corridor.

Jin Yanchen lit a cigarette in the dark shadow.

He stood there without moving, the fallen cigarette ash splashed on the back of his hand, burning like the tears she shed one day. That day, he thought to himself that no matter how difficult it was in the future, he would not let this little girl feel sad.

It seems so difficult to speak.

Jin Yanchen asked in a hoarse voice: "Xiaoyi, what kind of future do you want?"

Jian Yi thought for a moment and answered loudly, "I am a begging ghost who doesn't want to make love. I want to be a kapok tree standing shoulder to shoulder with you."

When saying this, Jian Yi thought of many scenes in her life, her fate that had been pushed forward since birth, and her label as the weaker party because of the preference for boys over girls. She pretended to be well-behaved and sensible in exchange for her parents' short-lived love.

Despite all the rumors and storms along the way, she was like a piece of solid steel and refused to be knocked down.

But today she suddenly wanted to fight for herself. She didn't want to give up, but just wanted to walk a path all her own.

Don't rely on anyone, don't be kidnapped by anyone's emotions, just walk your own way quietly.

Jian Yi turned to him and asked, "What about you? What will your future be like?"

“Start your own business.”

Jin Yanchen looked off into the distance, then slowly returned his gaze to her. He put out his cigarette and asked gently, "Xiaoyi, which city do you like best?"

"Jiangnan, maybe." Jian Yi thought for a moment, "That's where my grandmother who loves me the most in the world lives." "Okay, then my future is to start a company in Gusu."

Jian Yi's eyes trembled.

She blurted out why.

Jin Yanchen chuckled and rubbed his head. He half-bent down, his eyes naturally level with hers, and a familiar frivolous voice came, almost making Jian Yi want to cry again.

"So that some little girl has a place to go when she cries in the middle of the night."

"I won't cry." Jian Yi muttered softly, "Is there no other reason?"

Jin Yanchen looked at her deeply. At that moment, his expression was complicated and difficult to discern. There must be other reasons, but he couldn't say it now.

An unfulfilled promise is like an empty talk, wasting a girl's youth in vain. Jin Yanchen doesn't want Jian Yi to stop because of him.

He said almost calmly: "No more."

Jian Yi's eyes dimmed slightly, and he quickly turned his gaze elsewhere as if it was normal.

Her eyes wandered around and hesitated, and she spoke softly, "Maybe life is like a small boat, it goes wherever fate takes it, and no one can change its course."

Jin Yanchen looked at her silently.

His face flickered in the cold light, without a trace of surprise on his face. Their fate had been determined from the beginning.

No matter how many times she had played this scene in her mind, Jian Yi still felt uncomfortable when she was about to say this sentence.

She tried to look up at Jin Yanchen, trying her best to act as calm as when they first met.

"Jin Yanchen."

"We'll stop here."
-
Kyoto had its first snow of the year.

The snow came a little late, but at the right time.

When Jian Yi was packing her boxes, Jin Yanchen stood at the door and looked at her silently.

Just like when she came, she couldn't even fill up a suitcase with the same things, as if she was born to be on the go.

Jin Yanchen looked at her for a while, and suddenly said, "It's snowing heavily outside..."

"It's okay, I'll call a taxi." Jian Yi refused outright. Maybe he wanted to keep her, or maybe it was just his usual gentlemanly attitude, but she had no intention of exploring it now.

She is a decisive person and will not change her mind once she has made up her mind.

However, before leaving, Jian Yi hesitated and glanced at Jin Yanchen, waiting for a question.

But Jin Yanchen didn't ask her.

He didn't ask her why she left. They seemed to be so in love. He hugged her back tightly and whispered affectionately in her ear the night before.

Perhaps it is his nature to be able to control his love.

Perhaps reason also told him that separation at this moment was the best outcome for both of them.

　I cried my heart out. I want to say that maybe fate will make us feel powerless in many ways, but we must still have the determination to fight against it in our lifetime.

　　We are the ones who will never be defeated.
