Chapter 24: Cheering Her Up (4)

Fu Yanzhi was silent.

Ji Qingying bowed her head, staring at his shirt for a long ti.

She stretched out her hand tentatively and whispered, "Can I hold the end of your clothes? Only so that we wont be separated again."

She didn't dare suggest that they hold hands.

Ji Qingying knew that if she requested such a thing she might be completely rejected. Clothes though.. Were a different matter, so she could be a little hopeful.

Fu Yanzhi paused for a mont but did not expect that she still had such thoughts in her mind at this mont.

He was silent for a while, and under Ji Qingying's gaze, raised his hand.

~~~~~~~~~

Back in the car.

There seed to be so warmth left between his fingers. A little bit of a faint scent, and a little bit of the temperature on his own body.

Ji Qingying thought about the scene just now, and the corners of her lips pulled upwards.

Her hand moved to clutch Fu Yanzhi's cuff and just like that, she was led out of the crowd by him.

Surrounded by strange faces and strange voices.

She did not feel any discomfort or anxiety.

She was like a ship that had been floating in the sea and had found the other shore to rest.

To stay with a person, even if you ended up doing nothing for them.

For her, it was just him.

He was the only one who could make her lower her guard in an unfamiliar place and let her experience a sense of stability.

~~~~~~~~~

After reaching the neighborhood.

The two of them walked into the elevator.

Ji Qingying looked down at the ti on her devices screen, it was almost twelve o'clock.

Her head was bowed, as her eyes were on her tiptoes and she thought for a mont before saying, "I won't be at ho tomorrow."

Fu Yanzhi looked at her.

Ji Qingying briefly talked about her schedule and how she had decided to enter a competition.

"How long will you be gone?"

Fu Yanzhi suddenly asked.

Ji Qingying thought for a mont but still wasnt sure, "Three or four days."

Fu Yanzhi nodded.

Ji Qingying looked at his indifferent face from the side and whispered, "You dont have anything to say?"

Fu Yanzhi was confused.

Before he could speak, he heard Ji Qingying pour out her grievances, "I won't be able to see you for another three or four days.

After making that statent she asked again, "Dont you want to encourage

to compete at the least?"

Seeing as there was no response, Ji Qingying kept her head down and walked towards the door of her apartnt in frustration.

She typed in the password and pushed the door to get in. Suddenly though, a familiar voice ca from her back.

"Ji Qingying."

Ji Qingying was dumbstruck and turned to look back at him.

If she rembered correctly, this was the first ti Fu Yanzhi had spoken her na out loud.

Moreover, she hadnt ever called out to her like this before. He hadnt ever taken the initiative to move first.

His voice was already beautiful, and it beca even more pleasant when he said her na. The freshness was like mountain spring water in Taoling, making a person greedy for more.

She blinked and could only reply in a daze, "Ah?"

Fu Yanzhi pursed his lower lip, probably uncomfortable.

He stared at the woman not far away from him, for a long ti and saw there was light with confusion in her fox-like eyes.

But what even more was joy.

Fu Yanzhi said, "Can a mobile phone be used while youre at the competition venue?"

She nodded.

Yes.

She looked at Fu Yanzhi and asked taking her own initiative, "I should be able to send you a ssage, right?"

Fu Yanzhi hadn't answered yet.

Suddenly she muttered to herself, "But it's not good, I'll be distracted."

Fu Yanzhi:

He coughed slightly and wanted to laugh a little.

"What? Distracted?" (why would you be distracted?)

Ji Qingying looked at his eyes and said confidently, "I would miss you so much that my mind would wander."

Fu Yanzhi suddenly regretted talking to her.

Looking at his face that looked like it had been choked for any words to co out, Ji Qingying also regretted being too straightforward.

She moved her lips as she went back to the earlier topic.

"What did you an when you asked

if my phone can be used?"

Fu Yanzhi was silent for a mont and only said, "It's nothing."

.

Ji Qingying stared at him, and it donned on her, "Youre asking

if we could ssage each other?"

He didn't speak, as if tacitly agreeing.

For a while, Ji Qingying pursed her dry lips and asked as if unsure and to seek confirmation, "Can I understand it as"

"I'll send you a ssage when I make you miss ."

She paused, and added, "Then if I want to see you can I make a video call?"

Fu Yanzhi was silent.

Just when Ji Qingying thought he was going to refuse without showing her any rcy, she heard him speak up.

"I'm on duty for one full day on Wednesday and the rest of the ti Ill be working on normal hours," he said.

Ji Qingying looked up in awe.

He took two steps forward and whispered in a low voice, "ssages can be sent, and so can a request for a video call."

He raised his hand, brushed her hair, and patted her head gently.

There was an indescribable tenderness in his actions.

Soon, he withdrew his hand.

Sothing was whispered into her ear once again and for the last ti during this night, "Encouragent for the competition."

The author has sothing to say:

Beauty Ji: Then I have to take it a little bit further next ti, I want an embrace for encouragent.
