Chapter 22
Chapter 21 – Hug
Li Wanqiu did not expect Ji Jinyan to fall asleep in her room.
It was getting late at this moment, there was not much movement outside the hotel, only one or two noises of children could be heard occasionally, the whole body was quiet, only the boundless night spread.
Li Wanqiu raised her hand to turn off the TV, and stood in front of Ji Jinyan in silence for a moment.
— I don’t know whether to wake her up or not.
Traveling on business really consumes energy, not to mention that Ji Jinyan didn’t rest all day, as did when she and Yan Weiwei traveled together in the past.
Sometimes Yan Weiwei is too lazy to go back to the house because she is too tired, so she simply stays in her room, the two of them lie on the bed and occupy the sofa, the picture is very harmonious.
But when it comes to Ji Jinyan’s place, it’s not. It feels very different.
I always feel… a little embarrassed.
Li Wanqiu sighed lightly, she didn’t feel so tired after a night of sleep, she raised her eyes to see Ji Jinyan who was sleeping soundly, she didn’t want to disturb her, she simply sat beside her and waited quietly for her to wake up.
Before sitting down, she deliberately found a coat and put it on her body gently.
Just as she was seated, the phone rang by chance. Li Wanqiu was taken aback. Reflexively hung up the phone and glanced at Ji Jinyan’s direction. Seeing that she hadn’t been woken up, she breathed a sigh of relief.
After that, she switched to WeChat and found Song Yu’s name: “It’s not convenient to answer the phone just now, so let’s talk about something on WeChat.”
“It’s nothing serious, I just want to ask you for a favor.” Soon, Song Yu’s message came back, “I heard from Weiwei that you are on a business trip in city b, and I remember there is an online celebrity shop over there selling special products Very good, Ah Qing has wanted to eat for a long time.”
Ah Qing is Song Yu’s girlfriend. The two have been in love for more than three years and have a very good relationship.
Li Wanqiu saw through his intentions, smiled and replied: “Do you need my help to bring some back?”
Song Yu sent a like expression: “That’s really great.”
“However, that store sells many kinds of things, so I will tell you in the morning if you want to buy them.” Song Yu said later, “Ah Qing is asleep now.”
Fell asleep.
Li Wanqiu subconsciously looked up at Ji Jinyan.
“It’s okay.” Then she said, “Let me know when you’ve figured it out.”
“Okay.” Song Yu didn’t bother, “Good night in advance.”
“Good night.” Li Wanqiu typed two words in the past, then turned off the phone, not knowing what to do, her mind gradually emptied, her eyes wandered and stared at the furnishings in the room for a while, and before she knew it, she returned to Ji Jinyan body.
Later, she found that Ji Jinyan seemed to be whispering something.
Are you talking in your sleep?
Li Wanqiu blinked, and leaned closer to her curiously, wanting to know what kind of dream she was having, but leaned closer, not only did not hear what she was whispering, but saw the person in front of her frowning.
Ji Jinyan has always been mature and stable, rarely showing his emotions. In the past, Li Wanqiu always felt that he couldn’t understand her, but now he doesn’t.
She saw her frowning, her lips pursed tightly, her eyelashes fluttering slightly, she clearly looked like she was having a nightmare, and she was in a very uncomfortable state.
Li Wanqiu was taken aback, and quickly decided to wake her up from the dream, raised her hand and grabbed the corner of her clothes, “Ji Jinyan, Ji Jinyan?”
It was very effective. After a while, Ji Jinyan gradually woke up.
“Li Wanqiu…” After a few seconds of silence, she slowly raised her brows and fixed her gaze on Li Wanqiu’s face, “Am I asleep?”
“Yes.” Li Wanqiu responded, “It’s been a while.”
“What time is it?” She asked later, as if she hadn’t recovered from the nightmare, her voice sounded soft and hoarse.
Li Wanqiu picked up the phone and looked at it: “It’s eleven o’clock.”
Ji Jinyan rubbed his temples: “Why didn’t you wake me up?”
Concerned about her emotions, Li Wanqiu lowered her voice subconsciously: “Seeing that you were sleeping soundly, I didn’t wake you up.”
As soon as the words fell, Ji Jinyan’s hand movements froze for half a second, as if thinking of something, she slightly raised her lips: “So caring.”
Suddenly he was praised.
Li Wanqiu was inexplicably embarrassed, and said she was fine, recalling her state just now, subconsciously asked: “Did you have a bad dream?”
“Probably.” Ji Jinyan nodded, and smiled after a while, “I can’t remember.”
His tone sounded calm, but his expression didn’t look like that.
Li Wanqiu was silent for a while, and didn’t continue to ask any more questions. She looked up at Ji Jinyan, saw that she had stood up, picked up the cell phone and car keys on the table, and was about to leave: “I’m sorry to bother you, go to bed early.”
Li Wanqiu didn’t know what she was thinking, but she also stood up together and chased to the door.
She felt that she was a little sympathetic at the moment, but she didn’t want to pretend that she didn’t know anything and just let go of her hands. After a few seconds of silence, she couldn’t hold back and said, “I’m not that sleepy.”
“I bought lollipops and other snacks when I came back.” She said, her voice gradually became smaller and smaller, “If you are not so sleepy for a while, you can stay a little longer.”
“…”
Putting away the spikes, the little hedgehog with a soft belly is about to keep her as a guest.
Ji Jinyan looked down at her, and the discomfort in his heart disappeared instantly.
She couldn’t help but parted her lips, and continued to ask following her words: “What if I stay and accidentally fall asleep later?”
“Then…sleep.” Li Wanqiu said.
“But I’m not used to sleeping on the sofa.” Ji Jinyan said again, “Can you give me the bed?”
“…” Li Wanqiu glanced at her, “It’s too much.”
Knowing that she started to tease her, it seems that her mood has almost recovered, Li Wanqiu sighed, finally felt relieved, and waved her: “Forget it, it’s getting late, hurry up and go back to rest.”
“We still have to visit customers tomorrow.” She said, looking down and thinking about the itinerary, “I still have to buy special products to go back, and I have to…”
What else is there, before he finished speaking, Ji Jinyan suddenly stepped forward and raised his hand to pat her on the back, as if he was about to hug her, but he clearly didn’t hug her tightly, it was more like getting along with friends The method stops at the short-term skin-to-skin contact.
But even so, the smell on Ji Jinyan’s body gradually permeated, encroaching on her sense of smell.
Li Wanqiu heard her write two words in his ear: “Thank you.”
It sounds relaxed and smiling.
Li Wanqiu couldn’t reply for a while, she subconsciously shifted her gaze, obviously she didn’t look at her face again, but somehow she could think of her smiling face.
“Yeah.” After a pause, it took a long time before he finally opened his mouth to respond to her again.
“No thanks…”
Early the next morning, Li Wanqiu and Ji Jinyan went to visit the client together.
Bixia has many regular clients, and many of them have provided help to Ji Jinyan. Ji Jinyan remembers their kindness, and if he happens to pass by the city where they are located, he will basically visit them.
When Ji Jinyan came here, he had already arranged for someone to prepare wine in advance, and after he came back last night, he went shopping in a nearby large supermarket, and bought gifts according to his preferences. There are many types and everything.
Li Wanqiu was a little surprised for a moment, she didn’t expect that she could remember so many people’s preferences.
“You have a really good memory.” As she said, she opened the trunk to take things out a little bit. She didn’t have a good rest last night, and she woke up too early in the morning.
It sounded inexplicably like having a temper tantrum.
But this is work, and she shouldn’t have too many negative emotions. Li Wanqiu sensed her state and wanted to adjust: “I…”
Before he finished speaking, Ji Jinyan suddenly raised his hand and reached out to her.
Li Wanqiu was taken aback for a moment, subconsciously took a few steps back, and became more conscious: “What are you doing?”
“There is a leaf.” Ji Jinyan said, raising her hand to gently brush off the fallen leaves on top of her head, then she laughed and said slowly, “Why, what do you think I’m going to do?”
“It’s nothing.” Li Wanqiu shook her head, picked up the red wine and presents and walked forward.
He had a serious face on the surface, but he was so embarrassed in his heart that even the base of his ears turned slightly red.
She had the nerve to answer Ji Jinyan’s question, she couldn’t tell the truth.
You can’t tell her—I almost thought you were going to hug me just now.
