Enchanted (GL)

Chapter 38

Ji Xi and Qiao Zhiyu have almost never contacted by phone, mostly chatting on WeChat.

The mobile phone numbers of the two were exchanged when Ji Xi was interviewing a tutor. Qiao Zhiyu’s remarks to Ji Xi are still “Mr. Ji”.

Qiao Zhiyu couldn’t help but dialed Teacher Ji’s phone instead of sending a WeChat. As for the reason, it’s a bit hypocritical, just want to hear her voice, maybe one or two faint cares.

When Xu Sheng called her and said that she wanted to hear her voice, she couldn’t understand it, but now… it seems to understand a little bit.

Seeing Qiao Zhiyu’s call, Ji Xi was quite surprised. In the workplace, she was separated from Qiao Zhi by several levels, which is definitely not a work matter. She thought that it was mostly about Qiao Qing’s making up lessons.

After connecting, Ji Xi whispered: “Mr. Qiao.”

After hearing Ji Xi’s voice, Qiao Zhiyu didn’t speak for a short time. There was nothing special about her call. The call was made just on a whim, and Ji Xi answered the phone faster than she thought.

Ji Xi stood on the steps and looked down at the toe of her shoes. Qiao Zhiyu didn’t say anything, so she had to ask, “What’s the matter?”

“I can’t call you if I’m okay?” Qiao Zhiyu said with a smile in his tone.

It’s Ji Xi’s turn to be quiet. Just listen to the voice, and you can’t tell if she has drunk, but Ji Xi guessed she should have drunk a lot.

Ji Xi stood alone at the entrance. There was also a pair of young lovers standing next to them, talking and laughing, hugging and embracing, they looked like 502 painted on their bodies, and the two of them stuck together inseparable. In such a comparison, she seemed particularly lonely.

Ji Xi’s attention was only on the other side of the phone, “You drank too much tonight? Where are you? Did you go back?”

Three questions in a row, even if Ji Xi’s tone is calm, people can still hear the concern.

Time seemed to go back to that night. Qiao Zhiyu listened to the phone while thinking about her company by his side. Qiao Zhiyu answered one by one: “Drank a little, not too much. Now in the car, ready to go back.”

Ji Xi was relieved, “Yeah.”

“Where are you, at home?” Qiao Zhiyu listened to the noisy voice on the other side of the microphone, chatting and footsteps, not like at home, but more like outdoors.

“I just got off work and am going to go back by subway.”

“How about a cold?” Qiao Zhiyu asked one after another, “Have you taken the medicine? Is it better?”

“Eat. Much better.” Ji Xi said with a smile, and couldn’t help but think again, because she slept on the floor that night and caught a cold, so she took the initiative to call and care today? In addition to this, Ji Xi could not think of other reasons, Qiao Zhiyu would suddenly call her.

“Cover the quilt before going to bed at night, and don’t blow the air conditioner to your head.” Qiao Zhiyu said again.

“Yeah.” Ji Xi’s lips raised involuntarily because of the sweet and gentle concern that she loved to hear. She habitually replied “um”, because this word aroused a lot of emotions. Although my heart is warm and like it, my mouth still doesn’t respond enthusiastically.

Can’t you say a few more words to yourself if you are bored? Qiao Zhiyu held the phone close to his ear, strangely, only to hear the other party’s muffled response, which was also interesting.

Ji Xi was half a beat slowly, and then said: “Then you go back and rest early.”

Qiao Zhiyu: “Good—”

Neither side spoke again, just when Qiao Zhiyu thought that the call was about to end here.

“Are you dizzy?” Ji Xi said coldly while holding the phone. It sounds superfluous and inexplicable, but just ask, unlike WeChat messages that can be withdrawn.

Qiao Zhiyu heard Yingying smile, is it an illusion? It seems that some people don’t want to hang up. She rested her head on the back of the seat and said slowly: “Don’t faint. I didn’t drink much tonight, I didn’t lie to you.”

Ji Xi is again: “Yeah.”

Qiao Zhiyu said: “I will take Xiao Qiao to your home on weekends.”

Ji Xi smiled, “Okay.”

I had nothing to find and talked for almost a minute.

After Ji Xi hung up the phone, he took the subway back as usual. It was late, there were not too many people during the rush hour, and I got a spot when I went to the subway station.

“I can’t call you if I’m okay?”

“Is the cold better?”

“Cover the quilt at night before going to sleep…”

Jixi used to think about work when taking the subway, but now, she is thinking about Qiao Zhiyu’s softly reminded words just now. When she recovered, the subway had already passed two or three stops.

Qiao Qing sat on the sofa in the living room and watched SpongeBob. After hearing the door click open, she immediately slipped off the sofa and ran over for the first time. “Auntie.”

“Xiaoqing, do you have a good meal tonight?” Qiao Zhiyu asked.

“Yes ” The little guy has a good nose, and after smelling the smell of wine on Qiao Zhiyu’s body, he said with a serious face, “Auntie is drinking again.”

Qiao Zhiyu sneered, how does this expression and expression feel that Ji Xi is getting more and more of this small thing? The same seriousness.

“I want to tell the teacher.” Qiao Qing pouted.

Qiao Zhiyu smiled again, teasing Qiao Qing’s little face, and asked: “Why do you want to tell the teacher?”

Qiao Qing had reason and evidence: “Because my aunt listened to the teacher.”

Qiao Zhiyu was stopped by Qiao Qing. Is it so obvious? Even kids with big farts can see it.

Qiao Qing was very good, and when Qiao Zhiyu went home, he went to bed honestly. He also said that there is no need for Qiao Zhiyu to tell stories and let his aunts rest earlier.

After taking a shower, Qiao Zhiyu reached the point of bedtime. After she finished her skin care work, she pulled off the quilt and lay down on the bed. Sleeping alone with two pillows on the bed, and the other always empty, is a bit redundant.

Lying on her side, Qiao Zhiyu changed to a more comfortable position. She looked to the empty side, her heart lightened, as if she had tasted the feeling of sleeping in a hug, and now she became more and more deserted.

The WeChat message rang.

Who will this point be? Qiao Zhiyu stretched out his arms to take the phone beside the bed, looked at it, and a slightly disappointed smile crossed his face. In the impression, Ji Xi has never contacted her proactively except for some matters concerning her tutoring.

It was Yao Ran who sent a WeChat message: “Are you asleep?”

Yao Ran will not find people to chat on WeChat, there must be something. When Qiao Zhiyu saw it, he immediately replied: “Not yet.”

Within two seconds, Qiao Zhiyu received Yao Ran’s call. She swiped to answer, “Boss Yao, what’s the matter?”

“It’s nothing, just ask you how to spend Valentine’s Day.” Yao Ran is straightforward.

Qiao Zhiyu: “Valentine’s Day?”

“This Friday is the Chinese Valentine’s Day. Didn’t you stay abroad and forget the traditional festival, right?”

Just like Ji Xi, Qiao Zhiyu doesn’t remember these festivals. Now Yao Ranyi said, she said yes.

Yao Ran continued: “Jiang Nian said before that he wanted to go to the amusement park to play night games. I am going to book a ticket. Would you like me to book one for you and Xiao Ji?”

“Why book us?”

“Have fun together.” Yao Ran and Jiang Nian are both people who like fun.

“You plan to bring two light bulbs for fun?”

Yao Ran said meaningfully: “It doesn’t matter who is whose light bulb. Or is there already an event for you two on Valentine’s Day?”

Qiao Zhiyu pretended to be silly, “What and what.”

“Just a refreshing sentence, did you bring Xiao Ji to play with you that day?” Yao Ran is a straight boy, and doesn’t like to circumspect.

Qiao Zhiyu thought for a while, “I ask if she has time.”

After listening to Qiao Zhiyu’s words, Yao Ran didn’t speak, but smiled, exaggerated.

“What are you laughing at?” Qiao Zhiyu asked.

Yao Ran asked, “What do you say I am laughing at?”

If there is something in the words, I understand everything that I understand. Qiao Zhiyu no longer defended himself.

“Then you can ask her, just tell me before tomorrow night.” Yao Ran returned to seriousness.

Qiao Zhiyu replied softly: “Yeah.”

Wanting to make a call, Qiao Zhiyu looked at the time and wondered if she was asleep. Qiao Zhiyu clicked on the portrait of the lucky cat in WeChat and typed in the input box.

Ji Xi stood in front of the sink, facing the mirror, brushing her teeth mechanically. Then he poured saliva into his mouth, and spit out a mouthful of foam.

There is nothing wrong with returning home, she usually just takes a bath and goes to sleep. When I’m not tired, I can paint something, and I can paint whatever I want. It’s very casual.

After taking a shower, Ji Xi got into the bed and didn’t sleep warmly. There was no warmth at night.

Rubbing the bedding with the tip of her nose, she sniffed lightly.

I don’t know if it’s too sensitive, I always feel that there is still a bit of Qiao Zhiyu’s fragrance on the quilt. Although it is very light, but if there is no feeling.

Lie down for five minutes.

Ji Xi didn’t fall asleep. She turned over once, still paying attention to the fragrance on the quilt.

I also thought about some things. I thought about when Qiao Zhiyu held her that morning, and at the bar, Qiao Zhiyu smiled and put red lips to her mouth. Almost kissed.

I’m confused, I’ve never been like this before. Ji Xi stared at the ceiling blankly, she never cared so much about others.

The night is as quiet as water, but the heart is like being scratched by something, and can’t calm down.

Maybe it will be fine after a while, but I don’t know what happened in these two days.

The sudden shock of the news brought her thoughts back to reality. Ji Xi held the phone with the screen on nearby. When she saw the person who sent the message, she couldn’t calm down again.

Ji Xi clicked on the WeChat sent by Qiao Zhiyu: “Are you free on Friday night? Take you to play”

Friday is Valentine’s Day, Ji Xi thought of this immediately, and couldn’t help thinking about it. If the other party was a boy, she would definitely not doubt her own thoughts.

Next second. Ji Xi saw Qiao Zhiyu’s message again: “Yao Ran and Jiang Nian are going to the nightclub of the amusement park, asking if we want to have fun together.”

Ji Xi stared at the chat and slandered where she wanted to go. It was normal for friends to spend Chinese Valentine’s Day together.

At first glance, she was a straight daughter who was too straight to be straight. When they first met, Qiao Zhiyu told her.

Ji Xi didn’t think so much, typing on the keyboard and replied: “I’m free.”

It seems that I can’t refuse her.

In fact, seeing Qiao Zhiyu’s phrase “Take you to play”, she also wanted to go.

Qiao Zhiyu saw that Ji Xi had time to reply so quickly, he couldn’t help but smile, and asked, “You still haven’t slept so late?”

Ji Xi: “You didn’t sleep either.”

Qiao Zhiyu: “I’m going to bed right away”

Ji Xi: “Well, me too”

After that, Qiao Zhiyu sent a longer sentence: “After get off work on Friday, I will wait for you in the underground garage.”
