Chapter 33
Chapter 32 – I Want Li Wanqiu To Accompany Me
The phrase flourished and took root in Li Wanqiu’s heart for several days. It seemed that no one had ever said this to her before.
It is a very, very good encouragement, but it is not just encouragement, but more like hope and acquiescence, as if telling her that you don’t have to always stick to the rules, you can bloom like a flower, flourish like a tree, and you can be yourself.
You can also live freely.
Li Wanqiu lowered her eyes, at that time she only said thank you, but when she got home, she subconsciously wrote these four words on a sticky note.
After she washed and changed into her pajamas, she sat down in front of the balcony and picked up her paintbrush.
It was like this for several days.
The weather is getting colder recently, and Bixia is getting busier and busier. Li Wanqiu is busy with work during the day and painting at night. Although she is quite tired every day, she lives a fulfilling life.
But correspondingly, there was less private time. Yan Weiwei and Song Yu originally wanted to ask her out for dinner, but failed to ask her out several times.
Yan Weiwei was quite sad about this, and complained to her on WeChat every day.
Until Thursday night—
Yan Weiwei: “Hey hey hey.”
This opening doesn’t seem right.
Li Wanqiu was taken aback by her, and quickly looked back to the news: “What’s wrong with you? Do you have a fever?”
“You just got a fever.” Yan Weiwei said, she seemed to be in a very good mood, and her typing speed was much faster than usual, “I’m the one who got out of the order~”
Li Wanqiu: “Really?!”
“Is that the little sister from before?” Li Wanqiu asked, also happy for her, “What’s going on, please tell me in detail.”
“Okay.” Yan Weiwei answered her happily, moved her fingers, and typed a string of words.
The girl’s name is Ning You, the front desk of the haunted house, and Yan Weiwei had a good impression of each other when they met for the first time. Later, it happened that Yan Weiwei ran to take the initiative to add her WeChat, and the two became acquainted after a few visits.
During the period, the two also met several times, played games together, watched movies, ate dinner, and did a lot of romantic things, including riding a bicycle and riding a Ferris wheel together. Sometimes love is very pure, and the heartbeat only lasts for a moment .
When Yan Weiwei was young, her composition scores were good, and she spoke vividly and vividly. Li Wanqiu listened carefully, and gradually began to have pictures in her mind.
“And after that?” she asked hurriedly.
“I’ll confess my love after that.” Yan Weiwei said, “Such a good girl, it would be a pity to miss her.”
“I’m going to find her tomorrow.” Yan Weiwei sent several happy emojis, “She said she wants to eat the apple pie I made.”
Linshi is not far away, but it takes a lot of time to drive, Li Wanqiu raised her lips subconsciously: “You are so spoiled.”
“That must be.” Yan Weiwei said, “I am several years older than her.”
Li Wanqiu thought of Ji Jinyan, and happened to send Yan Weiwei’s next message at this time, teasing her: “People like older ones, not like you.”
“Aqiu, when are you going to find someone?”
In the end, the topic turned to her.
Seeing this, Li Wanqiu couldn’t help coughing lightly: “I’m not in a hurry.”
“It’s getting late.” She said, looking at the time, “Go to sleep, go early tomorrow, don’t keep people waiting.”
Yan Weiwei: “Okay.”
Yan Weiwei: “If you have time to eat together in the future, you must come!”
Li Wanqiu laughed: “Okay.”
“Good night then.” After Yan Weiwei finished speaking, she didn’t send any more messages, probably going to rest.
Li Wanqiu also said good night to her, and then continued to pick up the paintbrush to fill in the last blank.
At this point, a painting is finally complete.
On Friday, Ji Jinyan was out of the office and went out to run errands.
Li Wanqiu brought that painting over, but never had a chance to give it to her, and he didn’t see her until he got off work at night.
I probably won’t see her today.
Li Wanqiu looked at the time, sat for a while and decided not to wait any longer, drooped his eyes and carefully packed the small bag, picked up the phone from the table and prepared to go home, but when he arrived downstairs, a message came.
Ji Jinyan: “Go home?”
Seeing her news, for some reason, Li Wanqiu was inexplicably happy, and quickly replied: “Not yet, I’m leaving.”
Ji Jinyan: “Do you still remember what we promised on the Mid-Autumn Festival?”
“I heard that the store recently launched a new product.” She said, “Let’s try it together.”
Only then did Li Wanqiu remember that she had made an agreement with Ji Jinyan to go to the dessert house together when she had time, and since that was the case, she could just give her the painting.
Thinking of this, Li Wanqiu couldn’t help typing a few words: “Okay.”
“Where can I find you?” Then she asked.
The message was sent, and there was no reply for a while.
Li Wanqiu stared at the phone with downcast eyes, looked at the screen and walked forward. When she was almost at the door, she suddenly heard someone call her name.
“Li Wanqiu.” The man said, with a smile in his voice, “Don’t look at your phone, look at the road.”
It was Ji Jinyan’s voice.
Li Wanqiu raised his head subconsciously, and met her eyes, not only looking into her eyes, but also caught a glimpse of the smile on the corner of her lips.
It was getting late at this moment, and the lights were turned on everywhere in the winery. Because of the waiting, the employees had almost left, and the surrounding area was a little quiet.
Li Wanqiu looked at her, still a little surprised in her heart, thinking that Ji Jinyan would come, but she didn’t expect that she would really come: “Is there any work that hasn’t been dealt with yet?”
Ji Jinyan shook his head, the smile in his eyes was obvious: “No.”
Li Wanqiu: “Then why do you…”
Ji Jinyan opened the co-pilot’s door: “I’m looking for you.”
She smiled and said softly, “I thought you might not have left, so I came over to have a look.”
I think she should come, and I think you may not have left.
“…” Li Wanqiu blinked, a strange feeling filled her heart, but she didn’t say anything, just nodded and got into the car.
“Fasten your seat belt.” Ji Jinyan said in a very soft voice.
“Okay.” Li Wanqiu nodded in response to her, and quickly fastened her seat belt, thinking that there would be cake to eat later, she was still inexplicably happy.
The corners of the mouth raised slightly without knowing it.
Ji Jinyan raised his hand to start the car, and he seemed to catch a glimpse of the smile on her face from the corner of his eye. After a moment of silence, he followed her and raised his lips.
There were not many accidents on the road today, and the car arrived at its destination quickly.
As Ji Jinyan said, this store has indeed launched a lot of new products. Li Wanqiu likes strawberry flavor and hesitates between two strawberry cakes.
Ji Jinyan raised his finger to her: “I think this one is cuter, and the children like it very much.”
“…Oh.” Li Wanqiu glanced at her, she said this, but she chose that one, and said to the young lady, “I want another one.”
“Okay.” The young lady smiled, “In fact, these two kinds of products are selling very well recently, and they are very popular among students.”
Students, there seem to be only two elementary schools in this neighborhood.
“Ah, so…” Li Wanqiu was a little stuck, and responded to the young lady with a smile, “That’s great.”
After finishing speaking, he subconsciously met Ji Jinyan’s eyes, and soon noticed that the smile in her eyes was getting stronger.
It seemed to say to her: Look.
Li Wanqiu felt embarrassed, her ears were inevitably hot, she raised her eyes and looked around, found a seat by the window and sat down.
A few seconds later, Ji Jinyan also sat down and looked out the window: “The moon is beautiful today.”
“En.” Li Wanqiu nodded, carefully took out the painting with downcast eyes, “Here you are.”
Ji Jinyan looked at her, quickly understood, and said with a light smile, “The drawing is finished.”
“Let me take a look.” She said, slowly unfolding the painting on the table, and when she looked carefully, it was very similar to the starry sky outside.
Even the surrounding scenery and facilities are similar, there are small squares carrying laughter, there are small rivers reflecting the moonlight, there are trees, flowers, and alleys.
Naturally, there is also this dessert house. Li Wanqiu thought carefully, not only painted a window on the wall of the dessert house, but also drew a table inside the window, and there was a little her beside the table.
It is very small, even more inclined to the accumulation of color blocks, but the details are obvious, no matter the hairstyle or the matching of clothes, people can tell it is her at a glance.
“What do you think?” This was Li Wanqiu’s first time sending a painting to someone, and she was a little nervous and shy, “If there is anything I don’t like, I can change it.”
“No need.” As soon as the words fell, Ji Jinyan shook his head lightly, “It’s very beautiful, Li Wanqiu, as expected of you.”
What she said was serious and sincere, like a stone that could stir up waves in my heart, Li Wanqiu was a little happy to be praised by her, and said softly: “Thank you.”
In the next second, Ji Jinyan spoke again: “But I always feel that something is missing.”
Li Wanqiu was taken aback: “What?”
Ji Jinyan didn’t speak, but looked up, and happened to find a few colored pens by the table.
There is a wishing wall in the dessert room, and many lovely sticky notes and colored pens are prepared for customers to write down their wishes and paste them on. Ji Jinyan smiled, glanced at the direction where Li Wanqiu was, and then picked out a few brushes , There is also a villain drawn on the other side of the table.
She seemed to have intentionally imitated her painting method. The villain did not break the composition and atmosphere of the whole painting. On the contrary, it was like a finishing touch, making the painting more warm and lovely.
It seems that under the bright and lonely starry sky, it is dotted with thousands of lights.
“Is this me?” Li Wanqiu said in a very soft voice.
“It’s you.” Ji Jin said, propping his chin with one hand and holding the pen in the other, making the final touches to the painting. He looked lazy and beautiful, with shimmers dancing on his hair.
Li Wanqiu looked up at her, inexplicably lost in thought, before opening his mouth again after a while, and asked her in a slow voice, “Why did you paint me?”
“You’re sitting in front of me right now, aren’t you?” Ji Jinyan said, meeting her eyes with an obvious smile, “Besides, I think Ji Jinyan in this painting seems a little lonely.”
“I think she probably wanted Li Wanqiu to accompany her.”
