“Actually, she’s right. She doesn’t like being alone. No matter how much you do, she won’t like you…”
This was Ji Fengmian.
Ji Qing bit her lips tightly and clenched her fists. “I didn’t provoke her in the past. Why does she hate me so much?”
Chu Boyang closed his eyes forcefully. “There’s no reason. She has never thought about why. She has never had a reason to do anything.”
Even if there was, that was only what she thought.
Ji Qing shook her head.
“I don’t know, but I don’t think she wouldn’t hate me for no reason. Maybe… maybe…”
Chu Boyang looked up at her and saw that she was racking her brains to organize her words. He paused for a while before saying, “… Perhaps what?”
Ji Qing wanted to come out, but she lacked words. Her fingers intertwined nervously.
“Maybe… it’s because of you…”
Chu Boyang was stunned and Ji Qing quickly shook her head. “I… I’m not blaming you. I mean…”
Ji Qing paused and took a deep breath. “Brother Boyang, are you sad now that Sister Mian has left?”
Chu Boyang frowned and retracted his gaze. He took a deep breath. What was he expecting?
“If you’re sad now, I think Sister Mian is the same… She’s the closest to you in the orphanage. In the past, the two of you were together often. Later on, I kept causing trouble for you to resolve… You even said many bad things to Sister Mian because of me…”
Chu Boyang froze in surprise.
Ji Qing was a little frightened by his expression. “Sister Mian only has you as a friend… so she might be taking care of me because of you…”
Chu Boyang’s expression darkened. “So I’m the one she resents…”
Ji Qing pursed her lips and remained silent.
That was probably what she meant.
Chu Boyang stood up and silently walked to the side to pick up the shovel. He planted the seedling that had just been pulled off.
Ji Qing looked at him from the side. “…Actually, when the flowers bloom, we can inform Sister Mian to come back and take a look.”
Chu Boyan said nothing.
After finding a new school, Ji Fengmian was still alone.
The days passed uneventfully. The orphanage seemed to have become a past that she had never mentioned.
When he decided to bring Ji Fengmian out, Uncle Chu used almost all his savings to pay the down payment for a house.
Two months after Ji Fengmian left the orphanage, Uncle Chu’s company had successfully signed a contract that was considered good at that time. They were much richer.
During dinner on Friday night, Ji Fengmian suddenly said that he wanted to go to the orphanage.
Uncle Chu was surprised.
“Is there anything necessary?”
Ji Fengmian put down his chopsticks and said, “I’m going to look for Ye Jingyun. Since I have some money now, I plan to exchange for my things… I have a feeling that something will happen with those things in her hands.”
Uncle Chu didn’t know that Ji Fengmian had given his bracelet to Ye Jingyun. He asked, “What is it?”
Ji Fengmian jumped off the chair and remained silent.
She didn’t remember some things in the past. It was Uncle Chu who told her some things. She only knew that her background was a little complicated. Uncle Chu had reminded her repeatedly not to take out the bracelet.
Not to mention that she had given it to someone.
That pair of bracelets was expensive. Back then, she had no choice but to give them to Ye Jingyun to resolve her family’s difficulties. She had always felt uneasy.
Now that she had the money, it was time for her to get that thing back.
—
When Ji Fengmian returned to the orphanage, the children seemed quite happy.
It was as if the cold and terrifying Ji Fengmian in their eyes was a fake.
Standing beside the flower bed that she had planted in the past, the garlic seedlings had long been plucked clean. Looking at the leaves, it should be a jar of spinach.
Ji Fengmian was speechless and chuckled. “…You really think this is a vegetable garden.”
She turned to the side and saw that the lilies were growing well. All of them had buds and would probably bloom in a few days.
It was indeed not bad. After all, it was for Ji Qing. It was not surprising for him to spend some effort.
“I thought you would never come here again.”
In the past two months, her voice had not changed much. It was very familiar.
Ji Fengmian turned slightly and saw Chu Boyang standing beside her, looking at her.
She raised an eyebrow and said, “You’re really biased against me. How heartless am I in your eyes? You don’t even feel anything when I took in my own orphanage?”
Chu Boyang looked at her quietly.
After a long while, Ji Fengmian shrugged and said, “Alright, I’m indeed quite heartless. I’m here to see Ye Jingyun. I’m just here in passing. Are you satisfied?”
Chu Boyang didn’t know how to react.
He had seen through her, but his mood was ruined by her truth.
In the meantime…
Ha.
“Has your anger subsided?” Chu Boyang asked.
“Who are you angry at?”
“Me.”
Ji Fengmian turned around and stared at Chu Boyang seriously.
“Have you grown a little taller?”
Chu Boyang laughed. “How tall have I grown? I haven’t seen you for more than two months and you can tell? But I’ve been eating and sleeping well recently, so it’s normal for me to be taller.”
Ji Fengmian nodded. “That’s right. You eat and sleep well here. Why should I be angry for two months? Isn’t it good for me to be carefree and happy outside? It’s not good for my health to be angry. I still want to live a long life.”
Chu Boyang tightened his grip on the watering can. This woman’s mouth was indeed unchanging.
“Is this how you talk to others outside?”
“Huh? What’s wrong with me speaking?”
Chu Boyang took a deep breath and said, “It’s indeed meaningless to be angry. I’ve thought about it a lot after you left. There are indeed some things I didn’t think about. If I hurt you, I’ll apologize to you again. I was too self-righteous and thought that our relationship was good enough. I was so good that I could say whatever I wanted and you would understand me 100%.”
Ji Fengmian looked at his water with a mocking expression.
“I’ll understand you 100%? I think that you think I’m heartless, so I don’t care what you say. I also think that you think that you’re the only friend I have. No matter what happens, I don’t have the guts to leave you. What’s this name… Oh right, I’m fearless.”
With that, Ji Fengmian laughed out loud. “The more pitiful a person looks, the easier it is to be bullied. But you should understand that I’ve never felt that being alone is such a sad thing.”
Chu Boyang’s response to Ji Fengmian’s words was silence.
There was a long pause.
“I just want you to know that I never meant to hurt you. You’re right. Maybe it’s true that I never thought you would leave one day.”
“Yes. I understand. You mean me no harm.”
Ji Fengmian smiled and nodded.
Her expression was as though she didn’t care what he said, making Chu Boyang’s chest tighten.
There was a strong feeling of punching cotton.
Taking a deep breath, Chu Boyang changed the topic. “Why are you looking for Ye Jingyun?”
“I left something at her place.”
“Seems important.”
“…”
“Otherwise, I really can’t think of a reason for you to come back to look for her.”
Ji Fengmian smiled. “It’s indeed very important.”
She stuffed her hands into the pockets of her clothes and her gaze froze for two seconds before she sneered.
Chu Boyang followed her gaze and saw Ji Qing standing there with a watering can in her arms.
“Let’s go. I’m looking for Ye Jingyun.”
“This involves Ye Jingyun’s identity. Let me think…”
