Warm as time, candy as you

Chapter 156 You Too Underestimated Me

It seems that since meeting again, neither he nor she has had lunch once.

I didn't really sit down and have a serious conversation once.

There hasn't been a real reunion.

Si Niannian looked at him, shook his head, before he had time to speak, he heard him say, "Or, I am not even qualified to have dinner with you anymore?"

"It's not like this..." She didn't want to hear him say that.

"It's just a meal," he said.

In the end, she agreed, "Choose a seat nearby."

..............................

At this time, it was not officially time for dinner, and there was no one in the restaurant, so Si Niannian chose a nearby Cantonese restaurant.

Ji Yannan pulled the stool away for her in a gentlemanly manner. Seeing his behavior like this, she was slightly taken aback, and then nodded in gratitude, "Thank you."

"Do you have to be as unfamiliar as me?" He whispered softly.

Si Niannian didn't say a word.

It's not that she has to be so unfamiliar with him, but that there can only be such a strange relationship between her and him.

Only when this kind of unfamiliarity continues, then in the future... can it really be broken gradually.

She had already made a choice between him and Gong Jialu, she chose Gong Jialu.

Ji Yannan sat opposite her.

Stare intently at her face.

From saying nothing to being speechless, time is really a terrifying existence.

"What do you want to eat?" In the end, it was Si Niannian who broke the silence between each other and picked up the menu for him.

Ji Yannan looked at her deeply, "Come on."

"Okay." She also said lightly, then ordered three dishes and one soup, and looked at him, "Is that enough?"

"Ah."

After that, there was silence again.

Si Niannian held the water glass, lowered his eyelids, and remained silent.

She was afraid that what she said would be wrong.

She was afraid that if she spoke, she would reveal her true feelings.

"Nian Nian." He called her name softly.

Si Niannian raised her eyes.

"Don't make a decision so early, okay?" Give him time, give him a chance.

The way she is now makes him very sad, as if she has already made a decision, and there is no chance for him to redeem her.

Si Niannian opened her mouth, "Yannan, we... really can't go back." No matter what he thinks, no matter how much he has paid, but she feels so distressed and sad when she finds out.

But, I can't go back.

"Are you in love with him?" He looked into her eyes and asked seriously.

"Yes, I'm in love with him." She lowered her eyes.

"You're lying." Ji Yannan said clearly, "How did you fall in love with him?"

"..." She didn't speak, the more explanations and excuses she made, the more powerless she would appear.

"Yan Nan, I love you, and I know you love me." Finally, she said, "But, that is in the past, you will find a girl who is more suitable for you..."

"You really think so?" Ji Yannan said lightly.

"Jialu, he's really nice." She smiled, "Very considerate, careful, and warm."

"You hate people like him the most, don't you?"

"People hate when strangers don't understand, this kind of hate is not objective." She explained, and then looked at him calmly, "You know what? I actually sometimes think..."

If Gong Jialu hadn't been rejected with prejudice at the beginning, there would be no story about her and him.

There will not be two such sadness and distress.

But in the end, she still didn't finish her sentence, she just pulled the corners of her mouth and whispered, "I only know that he is very suitable for me."

"Is this what you want?" Ji Yannan asked lightly.

"Yes, that's what I want."

"Look into my eyes." Ji Yannan didn't want to speak to a head bowed down.

Si Niannian raised his eyes with firm eyes, "Yes, that's what I want, Yan Nan."

"Even if the person you love is me? Even if I try my best to fight for it now, even... without you, everything becomes meaningless?"

Si Niannian looked at him deeply.

"Yes."

"Si Niannian." After a long time, he whispered, "You are so cruel."

Cruelly stabbing him with a knife over and over again, cruelly hurting him again and again.

"I'm sorry." Si Niannian didn't have the courage to look at him again.

Because she couldn't lie to her heart, she really felt distressed.

But she had to make a decision, and she made a decision.

Both ends of the scale make it difficult for her to make choices, but time doesn't give her a choice at all.

Gong Jialu's face jumped out of her mind, she thought of his whispering in her ear, Nian Nian, I like you so much, what should I do.

"I'm the one who should say I'm sorry, right?" Ji Yannan chuckled, but his eyes were full of sadness and loneliness, "I'm sorry, I lost you."

"Yan Nan..."

"I thought the road ahead was difficult, and I needed to clear the thorns for you first. I thought you would wait behind me for my return, hold your hand, and walk down together..."

He exhaled lightly, "But I forgot, without me, you would be in danger alone, and I never thought that someone would take advantage of it."

He stood up, "Nian Nian."

"I'm sorry, my self-righteousness made you spend the most painful time alone." He lightly said, "No matter what you say or do, I still love you now."

She lowered her eyes and didn't dare to raise her eyes, for she was afraid that if she raised her eyes, she would reveal her feelings.

Ji Yannan just left without saying goodbye or saying any more unnecessary words.

Maybe at this moment, for him, for her, no matter how many words are spoken, there is nothing to say.

Si Niannian sat there with a sore nose, she knew he had already left.

She knew she was just sitting here by herself now.

The waiter served her order, and looking at the dishes on the table, she felt even more sad, because...all the dishes she ordered were Ji Yannan's favorite.

"Pay the bill." She stood up.

"That gentleman just bought it." Hearing what the waiter said, Si Niannian could only walk out of the restaurant.

"Miss Si." The male driver came forward to meet her.

Si Niannian looked at this man, he was Ji Yannan's driver.

"Mr. Ji asked me to take you back to pick up the car."

"No, I..."

"Mr. Ji has already taken a step ahead." The driver said.

Si Niannian said nothing more.

..............................

Just after picking up her car and before it started, Si Niannian received a call from Gong Jialu. These days when she was on business abroad, Gong Jialu was so tired that she called her at least once a day.

"Niannian~"

"Huh?" Hearing his voice, she couldn't help raising her tone slightly.

"Ling Chu has some eyebrows, don't be depressed." Gong Jialu said.

When Si Niannian heard this, he was stunned, "Is there any clue? Isn't it possible to escape abroad?"

"Can't you find it after escaping from abroad?" Gong Jialu chuckled, "You underestimate your husband and me too."
