Qi Chengyue thought about it. Maybe it was because blood was thicker than water?
"He usually performs well in the company and is indeed capable. I admire him as a person. As for privately, I don't have any dealings with him and we don't have any conflicts. Why would I like him? "Qi Chengzhi crossed his legs and picked up his teacup to take a sip.
Qi Zhongxun didn't expect Qi Chengzhi to have such a high opinion of Jian Yi. There weren't many people that Qi Chengzhi admired.
"He's an employee of your company. You have a certain understanding of him. So, you really think he's not bad?" Qi Zhongxun asked expectantly. He couldn't help but lean forward a little.
Qi Chengzhi slowly sipped his tea and looked at Qi Zhongxun with his deep black eyes. He nodded and said, "He's not bad."
Qi Chengyue was beaming with pride. "Dad, I told you that there's no problem with the man that I like!"
"Okay, then discuss it with Jian Yi. See when his parents are free and decide on a time. We'll talk about the marriage in Dynasty. We can't let his parents think that we don't care about them, "Qi Zhongxun said.
"What's there to discuss? Just do it according to your schedule. His parents are ordinary working-class people. They can just take a day off. It's not like your schedule is full and can't be canceled easily," Qi Chengyue said nonchalantly.
"Did you forget what your brother said just now?" Qi Zhongxun glared at Qi Chengyue. "It's fine if you say that in front of us. But in front of Jian Yi's parents, keep your attitude! If you look down on them, don't be with Jian Yi! Especially if Jian Yi sees your disdainful attitude, what do you want him to think? "
"Got it." Qi Chengyue's face darkened and she pouted.
…
…
Jian Yi drove home. When he passed by a health supplement store, he suddenly changed directions and parked the car by the side of the road. Not long after, he walked out of the health supplement store with four big bags and placed them in the back seat of the car.
The dumplings were ready. Yu Qianying was picking them up and sending Song Yu to wash his hands. When she heard the doorbell, she shouted, "Song Yu, go open the door."
Song Yu responded and walked to the door. He opened the door and saw Jian Yi standing in front of him with many bags. Without saying anything, he wanted to close the door.
Jian Yi hurriedly used his shoulder to block the door from closing, "Song Song, are we not going to see each other in the future? Can't we even be friends? I came here this time to see Uncle and Auntie. "
"Who's coming?" Yu Qianying was about to place the dumplings in the kitchen. The kitchen was right next to the entrance. When Yu Qianying walked over, she saw Jian Yi standing outside the door.
"Auntie, I was on my way home. I stopped by on the way." Jian Yi looked past Song Yu and at Yu Qianying.
"Don't just stand there, come in." Yu Qianying ran into the kitchen and put the dumplings down. Then, she immediately ran out. "Song Yu, let Jian Yi in. Why is he blocking the door?"
"It's okay. I'm about to leave. I'm just here to deliver some things," Jian Yi said as he placed the health supplements at the door.
Yu Qianying looked at it and clicked her tongue. "Why do you always buy such expensive things?"
"It's not that expensive," Jian Yi said. "I'm leaving then."
"You've come so far. Come in and have a seat!" Yu Qianying pushed Song Yu aside and invited Jian Yi in.
"It's okay. I want to go back early to accompany my parents," Jian Yi smiled.
"That's true. It's the New Year. You should go back early. I won't keep you then," Yu Qianying said. Then, she suddenly remembered something. "Oh right, wait."
She trotted into the kitchen and came out with two bags of things. "Take these two things home. One is a box of Tie Guanyin, and the other is a box of ceramic knives. Although ceramic knives aren't practical, they're exquisite. They look good outside."
"Auntie, this …" Jian Yi wanted to decline. Yu Qianying glared at him. "You can give me things. Why can't I give you something? Besides, these two things are for your parents. It has nothing to do with you. "
"Okay, I won't stand on ceremony then." Jian Yi smiled and accepted the gifts.
"Song Yu, go send Jian Yi off," Yu Qianying pushed him.
Song Yu pursed her lips reluctantly. Under Yu Qianying's insistent gaze, she had no choice but to go out.
When she reached the door of the unit, Song Yu didn't go out again. She said coldly, "Take care." Then, she turned around to go upstairs.
However, just as she turned around, her arm was grabbed from behind and pulled back.
"Song Song, sometimes I think that it's because you still love me that you hate me so much now. If you don't have any feelings for me, why are you treating me like this? "
Song Yu flung his hand away and scoffed in amusement. "Do you think I'm behaving like this because I hate you, and not because I'm being cold to you?"
Jian Yi pursed his lips. His warm breath formed a white smoke that came out of his nose.
"You're with Qi Chengzhi? He told his family today that he has a girlfriend. "Jian Yi's voice was tense as he stared at Song Yu's face.
Her face was still so beautiful. However, the way she looked at him now no longer had the familiar warmth. It was as if she was looking at a stranger. There was even a trace of disgust that he didn't want to admit.
Jian Yi's words made Song Yu's expression change slightly. Did Qi Chengzhi say that?
A warm current flowed into her heart. She thought that the man admitted it so openly. Although she was a little nervous and didn't know how to face the Qi family and her parents in the future, the feeling of being acknowledged by him like this was especially good.
Her originally cold expression became gentle. There was no obvious change in Song Yu's eyebrows and lips, so Jian Yi couldn't see it.
"Qi Chengzhi was just playing with you before. He didn't intend to be serious with you. Now, he even has a girlfriend. He even admitted it directly to his family. You should understand now!" Jian Yi's gaze tightened on her. "Did you forget that the Qi family broke off the engagement with you as soon as your family went bankrupt?"
"That kind of family only cares about money. They won't accept you." Jian Yi was a little annoyed. Song Yu had always been the most beautiful part of his memory. He was unwilling to let this beauty be tarnished by Qi Chengzhi.
In fact, he couldn't even see Song Yu with any other man except for him.
"Qi Chengzhi is pestering you, but on the other hand, he went to find a girlfriend who matches his family background. Don't be fooled by him." Jian Yi grabbed her arm. Seeing Song Yu's indifferent face, as if she didn't listen to his words at all, he became even more anxious. "Are you going to wait until you see him marry someone else before you believe him?"
"Song Yu, I don't want to see you get hurt."
Song Yu felt that no one could say this as hypocritical as Jian Yi. She shook off his arm and smiled coldly. "Congratulations on successfully entering the Qi family."
From Jian Yi's words, how could she not know that he had already been brought into the Qi family and met the people of the Qi family?
This sentence made Jian Yi's face turn pale. He no longer had the courage to grab her.
Song Yu smiled mockingly and turned to go upstairs. She still heard Jian Yi say behind her, "Song Song, I'm really doing this for your own good. I won't hurt you!"
Song Yu didn't stop walking. When she returned home, Yu Qianying, who was busy preparing the New Year's Eve dinner, walked out of the kitchen. "Did you send Jian Yi away?"
"Yeah." Song Yu nodded expressionlessly.
"Jian Yi, that child …" Yu Qianying wanted to say something but stopped. She couldn't help but advise, "It's not fate that the two of you can't be together. Don't hate him because of this. He has helped us a lot all this time. We can be friends even if we can't be lovers. He came specially today and he even brought something with him. Look at your gloomy face. How can you forget how good Jian Yi was in the past? "
"If there's a problem with his character, it's better not to be friends," Song Yu said softly.
"What?" The firecrackers outside started to get lively. Yu Qianying didn't hear Song Yu's words clearly.
"Nothing." Song Yu shook his head and walked away.
…
…
In the evening, the Song family finished their New Year's Eve dinner and gathered in front of the television to watch the Spring Festival Gala.
Ever since the Song family went bankrupt, they had become much quieter during the New Year.
The Yu family was afraid that the Song family would ask them for money, so they simply cut off their relationship with Yu Qianying.
Therefore, after the Song family went bankrupt for a few years, Yu Qianying hadn't returned to her parents' home for a few years. She had also cut off contact with her siblings.
Outside, the sound of firecrackers and the sound of fireworks mixed together and kept ringing. Especially the string of firecrackers, no one knew when they would suddenly go off with a crackling sound, scaring people. There was no sound at all over the sound of the TV, so Yu Qianying also turned the TV's volume especially loud.
Song Yu held his phone and chatted with Ruan Danchen while watching the Spring Festival Gala. While they were chatting, a call came in.
When Song Yu saw Qi Chengzhi's name, he stole a glance at Yu Qianying, who was next to him, and realized that her attention was on the skit that was being broadcasted. He took his phone into his room, closed the door, and answered the call.
She covered her ears with one hand and held the phone with the other. Before she could say anything, she heard Qi Chengzhi's voice that made her feel more and more secure. "I'm downstairs."
He just came this morning. Why was he here again?
Song Yu looked at the time. It was already past eleven o 'clock.
She knew that it was useless to say anything else to him other than going down immediately. Song Yu said, "I'll be right down." She put on a down jacket, took her phone and keys, and sneaked out the door.
She went downstairs but didn't see Qi Chengzhi's Range Rover. Instead, there were many people setting off firecrackers. They probably took up all the space, so Qi Chengzhi couldn't get in.
She walked out and saw Qi Chengzhi's Range Rover next to the outermost building.
Qi Chengzhi was wearing a dark blue woolen coat. It was rare that he didn't wear a shirt inside. Instead, he wore a black and white striped V-neck sweater. His long legs in khaki trousers were straight and crossed. He leaned against the back door of the car.
He held a cigarette between his long fingers in leather gloves. He sat there quietly, exhaling light smoke, which was quickly blown away by the cold wind.
Song Yu slowed down her steps. Her eyes were fixed on his face.
He was so different from Jian Yi. There was an aura that no one else could imitate.
She didn't know when she would be especially calm when she saw him from afar. But when she was close to him, she would be especially nervous.
She never knew that there could be a man who could look so beautiful while smoking quietly.
Sensing her approach, Qi Chengzhi looked at her with gentleness in his eyes.
His gaze made her stomach twist, and her heartbeat quickened uncontrollably.
Standing in front of him, Qi Chengzhi also stood up straight. His figure suddenly lengthened, as if he had blocked a lot of the wind for her.
She looked up slightly, but only saw his chin. Even now, she didn't dare to look at him directly.
"Why didn't you wait in the car?" She asked softly. She only stood for a while, but her fair cheeks were red, and her hair was blown around by the wind.
Song Yu thought in frustration. If she had known this would happen, she would have tied her hair up before coming down. It was all her fault for leaving in such a hurry.
She just thought that, but she didn't realize that when a woman started to care about her image in front of a man, it meant that she started to care about him and put him in her heart.
Qi Chengzhi's hands, which were wearing leather gloves, helped her smooth her hair. She could still smell the leather on the gloves as they moved.
He opened the back door. "Get in the car first."
Song Yu felt strange. Why did he let her sit in the back this time?
Just as she sat in the car, the opposite door also opened, and Qi Chengzhi also sat in.
The space in the car was narrow, and the lights were on, so it wasn't as dark as outside. Song Yu suddenly felt more stressed, and she didn't know what to do.
Qi Chengzhi's body was mixed with the cold wind, and Song Yu's face, which was frozen just now, began to heat up.
"Why are you here now? Why don't you stay at home for New Year's Eve?"
Qi Chengzhi took off his gloves one by one, revealing his clean and distinct hands. "I want to come and stay with you for New Year's Eve."
He threw the gloves aside and reached out to hold Song Yu's cold hands. He held her hands between his palms and warmed her with his own body temperature.
Not long after, Song Yu's originally stiff fingers felt much more comfortable.
The man who was supposed to stay at the Qi Family for New Year's Eve left the whole family and came to stay with her.
For New Year's Eve, she didn't need anyone to tell her how important it was to stay up. This was something to do with family, but he came to find her …
Song Yu's heart continued to beat faster. The person who had been afraid to look at him suddenly raised her head and stared at his elegant face, but happened to meet his deep and focused gaze.
When she looked down at his white and clean hands just now, he had been staring at her like this.
Song Yu's heart skipped a beat, and she blushed shyly. "Wait here for a moment. I'll be back soon."
"Wait a moment." Qi Chengzhi's voice was low, and he took his gloves and put them on her.
His hands were big, and when she put the gloves on her hands, the fingertips were empty, and there was about the length of a knuckle.
Wei Ziqi's hands were still warm in the gloves.
Wearing his gloves, Song Yu trotted all the way into the corridor.
At the door, she took off the gloves and stuffed them into the pocket of her down jacket.
As soon as she entered the door, she saw Yu Qianying cooking dumplings in the kitchen. Hearing the sound of the door closing, she turned her head and saw Song Yu coming in from outside. She asked curiously, "Where did you go just now?"
"I was watching people set off fireworks downstairs." Song Yu didn't take off his down jacket and went straight into the kitchen. "I'll cook. You go watch the New Year's Eve with Dad."
"No, I've already started cooking. You go watch." Yu Qianying was afraid that the dumplings would sink to the bottom and stick to the pot, so she stirred the water from time to time.
Song Yu simply took the spoon and pushed her out. "I'm not very interested in the New Year's Eve. You go watch it, and come back after 12 o 'clock to eat dumplings."
"Okay, okay, don't push me." Yu Qianying shook her head with a smile and returned to the living room.
Song Yu took out a relatively large Ziploc container and a palm-sized one. He poured some vinegar into it and closed the lid.
She put the cooked dumplings into the large container, took two pairs of chopsticks, and carried them out of the door.
Song Yu sat back in the car, and Qi Chengzhi saw her come back with the hot dumplings. No wonder she "went to go and be back soon" for so long.
"Wait a minute." As Song Yu spoke, she leaned forward and turned on the radio. She didn't need to adjust the frequency. Now, any channel was tuned to the New Year's Eve.
Song Yu sat back down, and the host's cheerful countdown came from the radio.
When the last bell rang, Song Yu happened to open the container.
"You made it yourself?" Qi Chengzhi took the chopsticks and picked up a dumpling.
"My mom mixed the stuffing, and then we made it together." Song Yu picked up a dumpling and smiled embarrassedly. "I made this kind of dumpling with especially big ears."
Qi Chengzhi silently put down the original white and fat dumpling, and directly picked up Song Yu's dumpling, dipped it in vinegar, and ate it.
Outside the car, the light from the fireworks rose into the air and shone in, shining on Qi Chengzhi's face, covering it with a faint layer of haze.
The two squeezed in the car and ate the hot dumplings. Accompanied by the sound of the program coming from the radio, it seemed particularly warm.
He wasn't afraid of the heat. He dipped it in vinegar and ate one at a time, but he didn't seem rude at all. He could still eat it elegantly and looked good.
…
…
Yu Qianying heard that the New Year's countdown had ended, but she didn't see Song Yu bring the dumplings over, so she called out, "Song Yu, are the dumplings ready?"
But after waiting for more than a minute, there was no response from Song Yu. Yu Qianying stood up and muttered to herself, "This child."
She walked into the kitchen, but Song Yu was nowhere to be seen. The pot of dumplings from earlier was nowhere to be seen, and the rest of the dumplings were still uncooked and placed in their original positions.
"This girl, she said she was cooking dumplings, but where did they go?!" Yu Qianying muttered as she boiled the dumplings again.
…
…
After the two finished the dumplings, the Spring Festival Gala also ended.
Qi Chengzhi put the empty plastic container on the passenger seat and turned off the radio.
The ambiguous atmosphere that had been eased by the lively program was now back again.
When Qi Chengzhi sat back down, a firework exploded in the air. The brilliant light shone in and shone on Song Yu's face, outlining her delicate and delicate features.
"Um … I'll go back first. Be careful on the road." Song Yu was flustered by his gaze and was about to turn around to leave. Wei Ziqi grabbed her arm and pulled her into his arms.
"I haven't told you yet. Happy New Year." His low and husky voice came into her ear. His lips brushed against her ear, following the line of her ear and down to her earlobe.
His warm breath was on her ear and neck. Song Yu's hands pressed against his chest, and her heart was beating erratically.
"Spring … Mmm …" Before she could say the last three words, her lips were already sealed by him.
His hands clasped tightly on her back, and his right hand slid down. Suddenly, he lifted her and let her slide onto the leather chair. He squeezed in between her legs and pressed down on her, kissing her forcefully.
