It turned out that for some unknown reason, Xiao Zhang suddenly claimed that he had fallen in love with Jin Zhiyan after only seeing her once. At first, Jin Zhiyan just thought he was being a hooligan and ignored him. But later, he started showing up in her sight every now and then, caring about her in every possible way. He even prepared the hospital for her future childbirth.
After hearing this, Ji Siyue thought carefully and replied, "Then just say yes."
"Are you kidding me, sis?" Jin Zhiyan asked in disbelief. "Do you know how much younger he is than me? Do you have the heart to watch me being pestered by a 19 - year - old junior?"
"I remember he's 20."
"No way! It's still a month away!"
"You know his age so clearly?" Ji Siyue curled her lips. "It seems you care about him quite a bit!"
"Well..." Jin Zhiyan suddenly got tongue - tied. "It's because he kept nagging in my ear, asking me to say yes on that day."
"From all aspects, he may not be suitable for you, but it seems that he really likes you. That guy has been hurt in love. If he's interested in you, it either means he truly loves you or you resemble his former lover. Either way, it's not a bad deal for you. You're over eight months pregnant now. You have no job or a fixed place to live, and you need someone to take care of you. If you need it, I can give you the key to my old house. It's just next door, so I can look after you." Ji Siyue analyzed calmly.
Jin Zhiyan hesitated for a while and then said, "I can't be with him!"
"Why not? Is it just because he's younger than you?"
"Bai Yu is coming back soon! How can I..."
The words stopped abruptly here.
Ji Siyue understood why Jin Zhiyan was so troubled.
"You've been waiting for Bai Yu? He's coming back soon?"
"...Yes, he'll be back in a few days. I saw his WeChat Moments."
"So what do you plan to do? Rekindle your old love with him? Or tell him the child is his and beg him to come back?" There was a hint of emotion in Ji Siyue's words. "He just left you without a word. Are you still going to wait for such a jerk?"
"Didn't you also leave without saying a word? Qin Chengyao has waited for you for so long... and he still hasn't given up. Otherwise, why would he... on Weibo..."
"What about Weibo... Forget it. It's precisely because I know how much of a jerk I am that I don't want you to get hurt, and I don't want him to get your forgiveness so easily. Do you understand?"
"I'll think about it. By the way... give me your house. My rent is up, and I'm out of a job. The rest of my money has been used for the maternity center and my dad's medical bills. I don't have much left. I'll pay you the rent when I'm better off. I won't keep you waiting long."
"Okay. When you have the money, just pay me. I'll ask my assistant to send you the key later and help you move. Also, give me Bai Yu's current WeChat. I need to talk to him." Ji Siyue knew Jin Zhiyan wouldn't want to owe others for free. It was better to let her pay later than to make her feel uncomfortable by saying she didn't need to.
"Thanks. I'll hang up first."
After sending the key with Qing Ying, Ji Siyue suddenly remembered a sentence Jin Zhiyan had said.
What about Weibo?
She took out her phone and opened Qin Chengyao's profile.
He hadn't posted anything on Weibo, but just changed his name.
[Captain Jin Yuanbao of the GH Team]
Looking at this name, Ji Siyue's fingers trembled slightly.
Since she made up her mind to return to the competition, she had regarded this man with whom she had a "deep feud" as her ultimate boss. But now he changed his name without saying a word as his attitude, which made Ji Siyue feel as if she had punched into cotton, powerless.
Why?
Why did he change his name like this? What on earth made him change his mind?
[Ji Yueji: Why did you suddenly change your name? You're my boss!]
[Senior: Because you have the capital.]
Ji Siyue was stunned.
She remembered the so - called "capital" conversation she had with Qin Chengyao in the car and couldn't help lowering her head.
"Ah... What on earth did I say!"
Qin Chengyao said she had the capital, the capital to be forgiven by him countless times. Didn't that prove... he still liked her?
"Thump..."
Ji Siyue heard a very clear heartbeat, as if it hit her heart heavily, making her unable to forget this feeling.
"What's wrong with me? Why is my heart beating so fast? What is this feeling?"
Ji Siyue only felt that her heart was filled with something, but she couldn't tell what it was.
Zhu Zhiyao knocked on the door. Ji Siyue turned around and said, "Come in!"
"Siyue, what are you doing?"
"I'm looking at my phone."
"I just saw on Weibo that Lao Qin changed his name. Did you persuade him?"
Ji Siyue shook her head. "What puzzles me the most is that he's my ultimate boss. Why did he agree so easily? What on earth made him change his mind?"
What she didn't know was that it was just because of a dream.
In the dream, Qin Chengyao dreamed of his senior year in high school. At that time, both he and Ji Siyue were a bit confused about the future, but in every option they mentioned, the other was there.
After waking up, Qin Chengyao felt that no matter what Ji Siyue wanted to do, and no matter whether he was still qualified to be by her side, he should accompany her. That was his original intention.
Now two people had gathered in the team. Nangong Qi was still thinking, and Bai Yu hadn't come back yet. They were just waiting for the last one.
At University A.
"Star! I'm leaving first!"
"Keep in touch later!"
The young man in white waved goodbye to a female student with a smile on his face. He ran a few steps forward, but when he saw the woman sitting in a wheelchair in the distance, he silently turned around and left.
The woman in the wheelchair wasn't in a hurry. She just sat there quietly, staring.
After a while, the young man still turned around forcefully, went back and pushed the woman to a nearby bench, and then sat down himself.
The two of them were silent for a very long time.
Finally, the woman in the wheelchair spoke first.
"Star, long time no see."
This sentence seemed to hit Star's sore spot. He looked at the woman, sneered, and said, "It has been a long time!"
"Are you mad at me?"
"Mad at you? Brother Qin isn't even mad yet. Why should I be?"
Look at this guy. He said he wasn't mad, but his words were full of anger.
