Look, Im such a bad person. Is it too much to trample on your sincerity? So, are you still going to feel sorry for me?
Ji Qing bit her lips stubbornly, but tears still streamed down her face.
I really didnt do it on purpose.
Yes, I know. So you dont have to blame yourself.
Although his voice was cold, his words still sounded a little misleading.
It could be said to be a form of comfort.
But how could Ji Fengmian comfort her?
As expected, Ji Fengmian smirked and took a step back. He lowered his gaze to the petals on the ground and sneered.
But you really should think about it. Sometimes, your self-blame might just be a bother to others.
In addition to her sadness and grievance, Ji Qing was also puzzled.
Impatience flashed across Ji Fengmians eyes. They really didnt get along.
Chu Boyang took two steps closer to her. Before you remind and educate others, why dont you reflect on your own problems? Let the people around you fear you and ostracize you. Even if something happens, the first person to suspect is you. Have you really not thought about why?
Ji Fengmians gaze moved from the remains on the ground to Chu Boyangs face.
Her eyes were still smiling, but there was no warmth.
Why? Its probably because I feel superior being a maverick, so Ive never felt that I have anything to reflect on.
The smile on her lips became more obvious. She nodded slightly and stared at Chu Boyang with a smile. Yes others are afraid of me and ostracize me. Even if something happens, Im the first person to suspect. All of this sounds like its all my fault.
Her words made Chu Boyan realize that he had said something wrong again. He pursed his lips and said,
I just want to remind you that realizing this earlier is beneficial to you Im worried that if you continue like this
Oh? How long have I been like this? If you want to remind me earlier, what did I do yesterday? The day before yesterday? Last month, last year? Shouldnt it be earlier? Why did you have to wait until today to remind me when Ive bullied your lover?
She glanced at Ji Qing and sneered in her heart. So, I have to thank Ji Qing this time. Without her, I wouldnt have received your sincere reminder and advice.
With that, she suddenly took a step towards Ji Qing.
Chu Boyan stepped in front of her.
She paused and raised her chin slightly to look at him.
They were the same age, but she was not as tall as him.
Chu Boyang looked at her warily. Ji Fengmian, youre too paranoid. Ji Qing is still young
Shes young. Am I old enough to be her mother?
Chu Boyang took a deep breath. Can you stop being so aggressive? I know youre very clear about many things. Ji Qing cant compare to you
You cant compare to me.
Ji Fengmian interrupted Chu Boyang with a cold smile.
You dont have to say the same thing too many times. As you said, Im very clear about some things.
Ji Fengmian
Dont worry, with you around, what can I do to your lover? Can I defeat you? I know my limits.
Chu Boyang frowned. I wont hit you!
Ji Fengmian looked at him quietly for a while. Nothing is certain. Maybe one day, your beloved sister will really be bullied by me. You might even want to kill me.
Chu Boyans expression darkened.
However, Ji Fengmian took a deep breath and retracted his gaze coldly. He walked to the dining table and picked up his backpack.
But dont worry, Im not that evil. I dont want to bully her.
She slung her backpack over her shoulder and stood beside Chu Boyang. She looked at Ji Qing for a while before looking at Chu Boyang. After a long while, her lips twitched.
So, you probably wont have the chance to kill me.
With that, she walked towards the entrance of the restaurant.
Her words stunned Chu Boyang and the entire restaurant fell silent.
Uncle Chu stood at the door and waited for her respectfully.
The director snapped back to reality and hurriedly said,
I forgot to tell everyone that today is Ji Fengmians last day at our orphanage. Come, lets congratulate Ji Fengmian. From now on, she will have her own home. I hope she can grow up healthily and happily and become a useful person to society.
Other than a few teachers, no one else could react.
The spa.r.s.e applause sounded a little bleak.
However, Ji Fengmian didnt mind at all. His slender figure walked to the door and Uncle Chu followed closely behind her, exuding a sense of respect.
Huh? Ji Fengmian is leaving?
Oh, the director said that shes really leaving.
Its her birthday today. Is she waiting for us to celebrate her birthday before leaving?
Then shes still quite good. Otherwise, we wont be able to eat such delicious cake this year.
But its good that shes gone. You dont have to be afraid of her anymore.
But we wont be able to eat such delicious cake again.
Did she leave because she was angry today, or did she plan to leave before?
Uh I dont know
Ye Jingyun chased after her and grabbed Ji Fengmians bag. She asked softly, Fengmian, will I be able to see you again?
Dont meet her if you can. Its not good for both of us.
Ye Jingyun bit her lips. Are you really leaving just like that? You said before that Chu Boyang is the only friend you have here. To leave under such circ.u.mstances
Ji Fengmian pulled his bag back without looking back.
I think he should be happy. Finally, no one can take his kindness for granted. Most importantly, no one will bully his sister anymore.
Ye Jingyun stood at the door and watched her leave. Her heart was filled with admiration for Ji Fengmian.
It had been the same from the start.
She liked her aloof and n.o.ble aura for some reason.
He liked her every word and action.
He liked how arrogant and fearless she was.
Everything about her, she liked. To be precise, she admired.
She wanted to be like her
She did whatever she wanted and exuded confidence.
Chu Boyang stood rooted to the ground for a long time before he suddenly realized something and chased after her.
Uncle Chu stood in front of the car and watched as Ji Fengmian got in.
Ji Fengmian!
Chu Boyang shouted. There was unprecedented anger in his voice. Perhaps it was other emotions.
Ji Fengmian fastened his seatbelt and glanced at him coldly.
Uncle Chu wanted to close the door, but Chu Boyang grabbed him.
Ji Fengmian turned his head to look at him. Why? Do you feel that your sister has suffered and you want to settle the score with me?
Chu Boyang looked at her hard. Why did you leave? Is it because I told Ji Qing about your birthday this time, or is it because I misunderstood you last time?
Ji Fengmian took a deep breath and leaned against the seat. He tilted his head and frowned.
Both. I find it boring here.
As she spoke, she paused and curled her lips in self-mockery. Ive been in this orphanage for a few years. Sometimes, I cant understand why Im so pretentious. Just thinking about how Ive been wronged makes me feel insulted. Especially when I see you and Ji Qing, I feel disgusted.
Chu Boyangs grip on the car door stiffened, but he tightened his grip.
Youve been thinking of leaving since last month, right?
Ji Fengmian stared at him and the smile on his face faded.
Maybe. Whats the point of asking? Just smile if youre happy. No one will bully your lover anymore, and no one will play tricks in front of you. Isnt that good?
You
If you want to stand up for Ji Qing, then hurry up. If you dont want to fight, then move aside!
Ji Fengmians face turned cold and his voice was calm. He didnt even look at him.
I told you, I wont hit you.
Why did she always think that he would attack her for Ji Qing?
Since youre not fighting, you wont have a chance in the future. Uncle Chu, close the door.
Upon hearing this, Uncle Chu responded and bent down to take Chu Boyangs hand, but he couldnt pry it away.
Ji Fengmian, I apologized to you a few days ago and you accepted it.
Its not that Ive accepted it I just feel that it doesnt matter anymore. Because I dont understand whats good for me if I dont forgive you Its mainly because I still feel that its quite boring. I dont know why Ive been stuck here all this time.
Something flashed in Chu Boyans eyes.
After a moment of silence, Ji Fengmian turned his head again. His gaze landed on Ji Qing, who was behind Chu Boyang. You should like the vase of lilies in the courtyard more. Im not interested in them. Ill give it to you.
Ji Qing opened her mouth, but before she could speak, Ji Fengmian had already retracted his gaze.
She raised her leg and kicked Chu Boyangs wrist. When he was in pain, she quickly closed the car door.
There was a loud bang.
Chu Boyang reacted and wanted to pull the car door open again, but he heard the sound of the door locking.
He gritted his teeth and slammed the car window. Ji Fengmian!
Uncle Chu glanced at him and shook his head helplessly before getting into the car.
Until the car started and left, no matter how Chu Boyang knocked on the window, Ji Fengmians gaze did not s.h.i.+ft.
Chu Boyang even chased after the car for a long time. In the end, he could only stand in the middle of the road and watch as the car with Ji Fengmian drove further and further away.
Uncle Chu retracted his gaze from the rearview mirror and sighed. Miss, hes still a child. No matter how much you think he knows, theres still a limit Its only been ten years, and he can only remember for four to five years. Dont have too much hope for him. Even at my age, I cant guarantee that Ill be smooth and slick
I know. Since he cant be smooth and slick, Ill leave him. Ill only have Ji Qing to save him the trouble.
She chuckled and said, Arent I a child too? Why cant I be more unreasonable and unhappy with them?
Although he kept calling Chu Boyang a child, he couldnt handle Ji Fengmians speech at such a young age. If it was Chu Boyang, he thought that he might not be able to treat him as a ten-year-old child.
After Ji Fengmian left, the orphanage was still the same.
The afternoon cla.s.s started as usual. Chu Boyang didnt go to cla.s.s. He stood by the flower bed and looked at the lilies. His hands remained by his sides.
After a long while, his gaze swept to the side. There were only bare garlic sprouts left, and his fists were cracking.
I didnt accept it. I just dont care anymore.
Its quite boring.
You should like it more Ill give it to you.
This afternoon, Ji Fengmian had said too much. Every word he said was sarcastic. Even if he was being unreasonable, it was hard not to care.
She was really impressive. She had deliberately suffered heavy injuries and was always accurate.
Even so, she felt happy. She would do as she said.
Why did he leave suddenly?
He had never thought that Ji Fengmian would leave him one day.
It was as if they would never meet again.
As expected of Ji Fengmian, he was cold and heartless.
Looking at the empty jar of garlic sprouts, and then at the lily seedling that had grown perfectly, he suddenly sneered.
No wonder he gave her the seeds of the lilies back then. She said that the cycle was too long and she didnt have the time and patience.
No wonder she could eat garlic seedlings twice in a month.
It turned out that she had refused to accept his apology.
How laughable was it that he had put down all his plans these few days and hugged those books on plant cultivation technology all day long. He read them one after another just to plant the best flowers for her in an unsuitable season!
From the beginning to the end, she had no intention of having them.
The thought of Ji Fengmian toying with him flashed across her mind, and her young but determined face appeared.
Perhaps it was anger or the helplessness and unwillingness of being abandoned without warning, but he suddenly stepped forward and pulled out the seedlings of the lilies.
Brother Boyan!
Ji Qing had been hiding in a corner and watching him. When she saw his actions, she ran out with a pale face and hugged his arm.
Im sorry, Brother Boyang. I really didnt think so much back then I only wanted to give her a gift, but its all my fault for making Sister Mian so angry
Chu Boyang glanced at her. Its my fault.
I shouldnt have told you her birthday.
He glanced at the handful of seedlings in his hand and turned to sit down.
Actually, shes right. She doesnt like being alone. No matter how much you do, she wont like you
This was Ji Fengmian.
