Chapter 43:

The footsteps of the restaurant outside scenes were clearly audible, clicks, clicks, as if stepping on Ji Yoon’s heartbeat. Ji Yuyan looked at the small half of the cake on the table, crying without tears.
But Jingxuan still came back, at this late night.
After Ji Yooyan was depressed for a few seconds, he couldn't restrain his heart in full bloom. She couldn't help it, and walked out of the dining room quickly, and stopped the dusty Jing Xuan in the living room without lights.
As soon as they met each other, they both stopped tacitly and looked at each other in silence.
When Jing Xiu walked in, looking at the light leaking from the dining room, he guessed that Ji Yoon hadn't slept yet. She sighed in the bottom of her heart, and she felt soft for Ji Youyan's expectations and her heart.
After all, she reluctantly bought the ticket again, and after having a hurried dinner with Tao Xingruo, she rushed back on the last flight.
Ji Yuyan had already taken a shower, and now he was only wearing a nightgown and casually put on a nightgown. Her hair was naturally dangled, and she had noodles in clear soup, which was the opposite of her elaborate dress at noon. She looked at Jing Xun with delicate makeup, and her regret overwhelmed her heart. She should have waited until zero.
Jing Xiu only noticed the thinness of her dress.
"Axun, happy birthday." Ji Youyan's voice was dry, breaking the silence.
She stood in the light and shadow leaking from the dining room, her face half clear and half hazy. What was clear was the tenderness in her eyes, and what was hazy was the gloom that Jing Xiu couldn't see. Just like her people, clear and contradictory. Jing Xiu slid his throat, and replied to her unconsciously, "Well, thank you."
Ji Yooyan couldn't distinguish her look, and her heartbeat became more rapid. She bit her lip, and subconsciously told: "I made a cake for you." After saying that, she regretted it, and what else would she say if the cake was gone!
Jing Xiu moved his five fingers imperceptibly, and there was heat flowing in his heart. When she just wanted to talk, Ji Yuyan confessed in a low voice: "But I thought you would be back tomorrow, so I shared it with everyone."
"..."
Jing Xiu looked at her, angry and funny for a while. So is it to blame her for coming back too late?
Ji Yooyan took two steps closer to her, trying to see Jingxun's expression clearly. She nervously rescued: "There is still a small piece, do you want to eat?" After saying this, thinking of the remaining bit of cake, she felt that she might have lost her mind and blushed so much that she wanted to find a hole to drill down.
"No, thank you anyway." Jing Xiu answered her lightly. She could see Ji Youyan's embarrassment, she relaxed a little, and said softly: "It's late, why haven't you slept yet?"
"I want to wait for zero." Ji Youyan said obscurely. After zero o'clock, she can completely give up and completely believe that Jing Xun will not be back today. She even let herself be immersed in more and more bitter emotions because of getting closer and closer to zero.
How can she sleep? The sadness Jing Xiu had experienced is that she should be punished for feeling more.
Jing Xiu frowned, did you want to wait for her to come back after midnight? Did you divide the cake? But watching Ji Yuyan's sincere expression, Jing Xiu felt soft, "Zero is coming, let's rest early."
After speaking, she stepped towards her room. Ji Yuyan unexpectedly stretched out her hand and grabbed her wrist.
When the warmth merged, Ji Yuyan and Jing Xun's heart throbbed.
Jing Xiu turned sideways to stare at Ji Yooyan, and Ji Yooyan let go of her hand awkwardly. Her eyes seemed to be twinkling, and she looked forward and asked anxiously: "Song...do you like it?"
Jing Xiu moved her foot unconsciously. After a while, she looked away and said, "Isn't it cold with the window open?"
Ji Yuyan was dazed, and subconsciously looked at the living room window. It's closed. Suddenly, she was blessed to her heart and realized that what Jing Xuan was talking about was the window in her video.
Did not say that she did not like it, but also cared about her coldness, that is to like it! Ji Yuyan's eyes brightened.
She curled her lips and said, "Cold."
"But thinking it's for you, it won't be cold anymore." She took another step towards Jing Xiu and whispered.
Jing Xiu's heart trembled, and her reason made her take a half step away unnaturally.
Ji Youyan noticed it. She didn't have the courage to take another half step, and consciously turned away from the topic: "You wait a moment." After that, she walked quickly toward the coffee table, her expression dare not appear in front of Jing Xun's sadness.
Jing Xiu's nails stuck into the palm of her hand.
Soon, Ji Yuyan walked back, holding three small boxes with beautiful packaging in his arms.
"Birthday present for you." She handed out the box, brows and eyes gentle.
Jing Xiu looked at Ji Youyan fixedly.
Ji Youyan smiled slightly and said, "The top one is this year's birthday gift, and the bottom two..." She lowered her voice: "Birthday gifts prepared the year before and last year."
She didn't dare to look at Jing Xun's expression, her eyes fell on the box in her hand: "I thought, they would never be sent out again." Maybe not.
She did not dare to give a gift after breaking up in her last life. She was indeed not discovered after her death. They were hidden by themselves in a treasure box under the bed.
The softness between Jing Xiu's eyebrows and eyes finally couldn't hide. She restrained for a few seconds, approached Ji Yooyan, stretched out her delicate hands, and looked down to help Ji Yooyan turn out the untidy collar of her nightgown.
"Lingzhou doesn't have floor heating, so take it with a thicker one next time."
Ji Yooyan froze in an instant.
She raised her head, Jing Xiu's soft face was close at hand, and she could even feel Jing Xiu's warm breathing, gently brushing her neck.
The heart is like a deer.
Maybe the dark night gave her courage, Ji Yooyan licked his lips, released a hand holding the box, about to move.
Just when she was about to reach out and put her arms around Jing Xuan's waist, Jing Xuan turned her collar and pulled back suddenly.
She didn't look at Ji Yuyan's expression anymore, she reached out and hugged three boxes, and her voice calmly said: "Thank you, I'm interested." Then, she turned neatly and walked to the bedroom.
Ji Yuyan watched her leave, his empty hand touched his collar, just as if in a dream. She looked at Jing Xiu's delicate back, and the urge to hug her was so violent that her heart ached.
But in the end, she stood cautiously and said softly: "Good night."
They used to be so close, Jing Xuan also used his nightgown belt slowly and deliberately, so that he once again hugged her and fell back to the bed. She thought that if Jing Xiu was willing to hug her by herself, she wouldn't just turn around and leave like this.
She dare not.
She was not sure whether she could withstand Jingxuan's blow away from her embrace, nor was she sure if Jingxuan felt that she was not sincere enough to correct her mistakes and acted frivolously.
She comforted herself and proceeded step by step. Since Jingxuan was willing to give her time to prove herself again, she should also give Jingxun time to consider and let her go.
She went back to the restaurant and ate the rest of the cake with a smile. This time, my heart seems to have grown taste buds, and every bite is sweet to my heart.
In Jing Xiu's bedroom separated by a wall, Jing Xiu forgot the tiredness all over his body, and could not take a bath or rest. With long eyelashes, he opened the box gently.
The gift the year before last was the in-ear headphones that Ji Youyan customized for her. The appearance of the earphones is generous and exquisite, with a silver-gray metallic luster. Two pandas with different postures are delicately carved on the back of the ear shells, and the brows are still that bright red. In addition to distinguishing the left and right English on the wiring, her English name is also written in Junyi's BP body at the bottom end near the plug.
She once complained to Ji Youyan that she didn't know if her auricle was too small, and the earphones on the market felt pain after wearing them for a long time. Ji Youyan kissed her ear at the time and promised to help her customize one. Afterwards, Ji Youyan got busy, and no one mentioned it again.
After years, Jing Xiu stroked the earphones with mixed feelings. Obviously, she hasn't actually measured her pinna, but the earphones fit perfectly.
It seemed to her ears that she once asked Ji Yooyan how to make her gift of the right size, and Ji Yoo touched the tip of her nose, and said softly: "Where else is the size of your body? unknown."
Jing Xiu's eyes are like water. She then opened last year's box.
Last year’s gift was a compact MP3. Jing Xiu plugged the headset into MP3 and turned on MP3.
There are 365 files displayed in the directory, and they were saved last year.
She played an audio at random, and Ji Yuyan's melodious magnetic voice followed the wire and passed into her ears, reaching her heart.
"Hello, good evening Jing Xiuxiu, here Yanyan exclusively broadcasts the beautiful text before going to bed for you..." She read two beautiful essays for her, one in Chinese and one in French, and finally, a tender good night, ok dream.
Jing Xiu stood at the table, and in the silence, tears flowed down her cheeks and dripped onto the MP3 screen. After breaking up, what mood did Ji Yuyan use to record these 365 audios for her?
The audio automatically jumps to the next in the melodious light music after "Good night". Jing Xiu was in a state of confusion, she suddenly unplugged her earphones and walked out of the door.
But he opened the door fiercely, and it was dark all around—Ji Youyan had already gone back to the room to sleep.
Jing Xiu walked in the darkness, step by step, and finally stopped looking at Ji Youyan's closed door.
The closed door became thicker and stronger in the dark, just like the heart door Ji Yuyan once closed to her.
In the past, she couldn't knock on Ji Youyan's door; now, how much has Ji Youyan's door opened to her? She seemed to have thought of something, and her heart slowly calmed down again.
Not knowing how long she stood, she turned around and returned to her bedroom silently.
She didn't dare to open Ji Yuyan's third gift and put it in a drawer beside the bed cherished. There is also a small box in the drawer. In the box are all the small things that Ji Youyan has given her during the six years of dating, as well as the manuscripts she threw in the trash.
She also put the earphones and MP3 in, and sat there blankly.
The phone rang, Tao Xingruo sent her a WeChat message, are you concerned that she arrived at the hotel safely? Jing Xiu answered her: "It's already here."
After a few seconds of silence, she asked Tao Xingruo again: "Do you really want to treat Ning Wei like that tomorrow?"
Tao Xingruo replied calmly: "Yes, it won't break or stand."
Jing Xiu read these words silently in his heart.
After a long time, even though it was late at night, she clicked on Gu Lingfeng's head and sent a message to Gu Lingfeng.
