Chapter 117
Ji Yu gave a “hmm” and didn’t say anything else.
Ling Yuan didn’t hang up, he seemed to have pressed the speakerphone, from his phone, Ji Yu could hear the sound of his “da da” running, the sound of passers-by talking, the sound of motorcycles passing by, as well as the teenager’s sharp gasps, all kinds of sounds permeated with the breath of life, clearly into her ears.
Inexplicably, her restless heart suddenly calmed down.
Ling Yuan didn’t let Ji Yu wait for a long time, the place where he just stood was near the Education and Training Building, and now that he had a target, he arrived in three to five minutes.
Ji Yu was still standing on that step, eyeing the teenager running far over to her side.
He was wearing a punching jacket, I don’t know if he came out in a hurry and didn’t take an umbrella, his hair was wet from the rain, his bangs were plastered to his forehead, there was a hint of a mess, but it still didn’t harm his superior appearance.
His white shoes were stained with yellow mud, but he didn’t care.
She heard Yan Qimai say that each pair of Ling Yuan’s shoes would cost no less than fifty thousand dollars.
Chi Yu suddenly remembered, she was about seven or eight years old, and Chi Zhao went to the amusement park to play, play and play, she ran to the other end of the amusement park alone, the results of Chi Zhao looking for half a day to find her, and then she borrowed an aunt’s cell phone to call Chi Zhao, Chi Zhao is also like Ling Yuan this, ran over in a hurry, the body wearing that piece of his usual treasure too much suit jacket, in the run do not know where to fall all the time. He didn’t care to pick it up until he saw that she was in one piece.
Ling Yuan ran in front of her and looked at her steadily, the tip of her nose was red, her eyes were moist, she looked a little aggrieved, he raised his hand and pressed the end of her eyes with his fingertips, an indescribable heartache rolled over in the bottom of his heart.
He closed his eyes and gathered her into his arms.
Ji Yu thought he would ask something, but he didn’t ask anything.
Leaning into his broad chest, listening to his powerful heartbeat, the refreshing lime scent wrapped around her, making her feel warm and comforted, she couldn’t help but reach out her arms to hug him back, coveting his embrace.
Ling Yuan raised his hand and touched her jacket, frowning, “It’s all wet.”
Then the teenager took off his jacket and drew an umbrella from his pocket, “Take off your jacket.”
Ji Yu opened his mouth, his voice still raspy, “You gave me your clothes, what are you wearing?”
“I’m not cold.” He said.
“I don’t want it, the clothes aren’t wet inside.”
He’ll catch a cold if he doesn’t wear a jacket in this cold weather.
She pushed the jacket back.
Her fingers inadvertently touched the back of his hand, it was cold, like ice, he grabbed her hand and wrapped it in his large palm and rubbed it a few times, it was still cold, he grabbed her hand again and put it in the pocket of his shirt, the shirt he had on underneath was a fleece, it was warm.
“Senior, you quickly put on the jacket.” Ji Yu urged.
Ling Yuan didn’t make a sound, only covering her hand until it was warm to the touch before letting go and squatting in front of her.
Ji Yu froze for a moment, “What for?”
“Come up, I’ll carry you.” The teenager turned back to look at her, “I’ll carry you, you put on my jacket, that way, neither of us will be cold.”
Ji Yu stared at the teenager’s broad back without moving.
“Come on up, pass some warmth to me.”
In the middle of her contemplation, she was tugged up onto the teenager’s back by a force, and she struggled, “Senpai, wait a minute.”
She slid down and took off the wet one outside for Ling Yuan to grab, turning to put on his one and plopped back down on his back.
“Hold tight.” Ling Yuan carried her steadily back on his back.
“Oh.” Ji Yu wrapped one hand around his neck and held up the umbrella with the other, his jacket was warm, and her whole body was surrounded by his scent, her whole being smelling of him.
She rested her chin lazily on his shoulder, suddenly feeling that his back was even broader and stronger than her father’s.
Ling Yuan didn’t say anything along the way, and didn’t ask her the reason why she missed the appointment, but she knew that he was waiting for her to take the initiative to mention it, and if she didn’t say anything, he wouldn’t pursue the matter.
If it was usual, the first to speak would definitely be Ling Yuan, but this time, it was Ji Yu who couldn’t stand this silent atmosphere between them, she thought for a moment and said in a low voice, “Senior, have you seen the sea?”
“I’ve seen it.”
“Is the sea beautiful? My father said that the sea is beautiful, when he is free he will take me to see the sea, originally this summer vacation we have already planned.” Ji Yu’s voice was low, “I can think of many famous phrases about the sea: facing the sea, flowers blossom in spring; the sea accepts all rivers and has the capacity to be big; the tide of the spring river is even with the sea, the bright moon on the sea grows together with the tide; the ocean first meets the sun, and the Milky Way inverts and lists the stars. However, I haven’t seen the real sea, and I feel that all the words are pale and powerless.”
Ling Yuan’s voice was soft, “Beautiful, beautiful. Standing in front of the ocean, one would feel very small, just a grain of corn in the ocean.”
He pauses for a split second and gently asks, “Missing your father again, are you?”
Ji Yu did not say anything, and after a long time, suddenly let out a “hmm”.
“Senior, my father is a very good person.” She said.
“I know, to be able to teach Little Fish so well, your dad must be a very good dad.” The teenager returned to her.
“But he suffered a lot, they all bullied him for not being able to talk and defend himself.” She suddenly became agitated, her voice took on an obvious sobbing tone, “They called him a male mistress, stealing other people’s wives, pouring dirty water on him, even when he was dead.”
“But he clearly didn’t do nothing, he just passed by and simply saved someone.”
“Why are there such bad people in this world? Why can they distort the facts and make up lies just for the sake of a little gain?”
Ling Yuan listened to her words and already pieced together in his mind to know the general picture of what happened, he carried her straight back to the car, and after helping her buckle her seatbelt, he gently stroked her face and softly said, “Don’t worry, no one will spare them, the law won’t.”
He won’t either.
Ji Yu’s eyes reddened, her eyelashes fluttering lightly, “The man said they were all punished.”
She explained again, “The one my dad saved.”
“Hmm, was she the one who made you cry?” Ling Yuan asked.
Ji Yu nodded and shook her head, “I just miss my dad.”
She suddenly remembers that she still owes him an explanation, “Senior, I’m sorry, my heart was too messed up after I answered her call, I wanted to be quiet by myself, so I turned off the phone, and then …… forgot about the appointment with you.”
“No need to say sorry.” Ling Yuan said, “Anyone else who encountered such a thing would have a hard time.”
“But, you’ve been looking for me for a long time, right? I made you worry, right ……”
Before the words were finished, Ling Yuan suddenly covered her mouth and softly pacified her, “There’s really no need to apologize, I know you didn’t mean it, right?”
“No.”
“It’s fine if you didn’t do it on purpose, I know that Ji Xiaoyu has always kept her promises, as long as she has promised, she will do her best to fulfill it.”
