Only the small light was on in the living room. Ji An crept out of his room and closed the door. She heaved a sigh of relief. She felt like a thief in her own house. She was even more displeased with the person she was about to meet.
Ji Anan left the district and easily found the car.
She stood under the streetlight, hesitating, wondering how she was going to face them.
At this moment, the driver's door opened, and a tall figure walked out. She couldn't help but clench the hem of her clothes, and when she saw that it was Qin Yong, she heaved a sigh of relief.
Qin Zhenyuan walked up to her and said, "I'm sorry for making you run out at such a late hour, but I really have no other choice but to look for you."
Although he had already met her once tonight, he couldn't see her clearly. She was standing in the light, wearing a loose nightgown. Her face was plain and her eyebrows were like a veil. Her expression was light and distant, and it was difficult for her to match the bright and energetic girl from many years ago.
He suddenly understood why Yi Yang wanted to die so badly.
Ji An looked back at the people in front of him. Qin Ju was one of his best brothers, and could be considered to have grown up together with him. She had played well with them before, but somehow, he had distanced himself from her, and Qin Ju and the others had also distanced themselves from her. From time to time, she would be ridiculed by people in his circle. At one time, she had even despised herself.
In the past, although he wouldn't be like the others, he didn't take into account his many years of love and pulled her over. His impression of Qin Ju Yuan was neither good nor bad.
She smiled faintly, her attitude not too far away but not too close, "There's no way for me to deal with what you can't do, Mr. Qin. Please forgive me for being unable to do anything."
Qin Ju waved his hand, "Don't worry, he's in the car. Go check on him first."
"I've already said that he and I have no relationship. In addition, he has his own legs. On what basis would he need others to indulge him?!"
He had expected Ji An's attitude, but he wasn't too surprised. "He's drunk."
Drunk?
"He saw you together with someone at the banquet, so he went out and got drunk. At least he drank one or two boxes of wine," Qin Ju Yuan laughed helplessly, "This is the first time I've seen him in such a bad mood. If you saw him like this, you would probably be scared too. An'an, it hasn't been easy for Yi Yang in the past few years. If he has anything against you, give him a chance to correct it. "
This was the first time she heard him speak so long after knowing him for so many years.
He kept saying this just to tell her that Teng Yiyang had gotten drunk for her and that it wasn't easy for a dignified successor of the Teng Clan to do this much for her, so she shouldn't bother with him.
Ning wanted to laugh. If the needle didn't pierce into their bodies, they wouldn't know if it hurt.
"I'm sorry, but he no longer has any relationship with me. I hope that you won't disturb my life in the future."
She felt that she had nothing else to say, so she turned around to leave.
Her original plan was to come down here and explain everything before leaving.
At this moment, a car arrived and stopped by the side.
Qin Ju Yuan took her hand and pushed the car keys into her hand, "An An An, I'll leave Yi to you. I'll go first."
After saying that, he quickly got into the car and disappeared into the night.
Ning looked at the key in his hand, then looked at the car that had been in a dark state this entire time. He really wanted to throw the key at it.
What was going on!?
She pursed her lips and walked back, but after taking two steps, she couldn't help but stop. She looked at the silent car and tightly held the key. The bulging corners of the car pressed against her palm, causing her to feel a faint pain.
She took a deep breath and turned toward the car.
She tapped lightly on the window, but there was no response from inside, so she simply opened the door.
The light poured in through the door and fell on the frowning sleeper in the seat.
She had a bellyful of anger, but after seeing his pale and pained expression, she choked on her throat and could not vent it out no matter how hard she tried.
Ji An sighed and tried to wake him up. "Teng Yi Yang, Teng Yi Yang, wake up …"
She called out a few times, but when she didn't respond, she reached out and pushed him.
Teng Yi Yang heard the familiar voice and slowly opened his eyes. The person in front of him was facing away from him, so he couldn't clearly see her face. However, he could smell the familiar fragrance.
Ji Anan just wanted to wake him up, but she didn't expect that after he woke up, he would wake up. However, she started to move her feet. She struggled with all her might to stay away from him.
However, at this moment, her position was too weak and the drunk person's strength was so great that she couldn't move at all.
"An An, I missed you so much …"
Just as she was thinking about how to deal with it, she heard a soft murmur.
yearning, lingering, painful, sad...
She was stunned as the person in front of her suddenly carried her into the car. He didn't forget to close the door and push her down on the seat. He lowered his head and covered her lips with his.
Compared to the last time, this kiss was less tyrannical, more tender, and more threatening. It was a city robbing and plundering, not giving anyone a single chance to breathe.
By the time Ji An came to his senses, his hand was already on her waist, preparing to reach into her clothes.
She immediately grabbed his hand and bit down on it while he was still in a daze.
He stepped back in pain and looked at her blankly.
"An An, why did you bite me?"
"I was truly too naive. I only returned now, and I should have left you here to fend for yourself!"
She reached to open the door, but as soon as her hand touched the handlebars, he took her back in his arms.
"An An, don't be angry, don't be angry, don't let me kiss you, I won't kiss you, but don't leave me alone. Look, in these four years when you weren't here, I always obediently woke up early to work, eat alone, and sleep alone. Besides work, I missed you, so come back this time and don't leave my side …"
When he was drunk, he said all the torturous words that were hidden in his heart.
However, An Qingxi only heard the first half of his voice, as the second half was buried under her clothes. His voice was too indistinct, and she was unable to hear it clearly.
He could only remember the two of them when they were young. Whenever he provoked her and made a mistake, he would stick to her like a big dog.
Those were the most beautiful, yet unforgettable times of her life.
It was also the reason why she continued to persist after receiving unfair treatment during those years.
But everything was broken.
Tears slowly flowed from his eyes.
The two of them were so close, yet so far away.
"Yi Yang, no one will ever do anything wrong. There will always be a chance to be forgiven. It's too late, everything is too late. My heart is full of holes. We really can't go back."
