“Mrs. Ma Lingda.” Ji Yinbing praised the rose in her hand.
Ma Lingda thanked him and said softly, “Bing, you seem to be being followed. That tall man doesn’t look like a good person. Do you need me to call the police for you?”
Ji Yinbing was stunned for a moment before saying, “No need. He’s my boyfriend.”
Mrs. Ma Lingda seemed a little shocked.
She was stunned for a moment before saying in an inexplicable tone, “Does your boyfriend have facial paralysis?” Mrs. Ma Lingda looked at the man across the street who was quietly watching her and Ji Yinbing talk. His face was a good-looking face, but it was expressionless.
The corners of Ji Yinbing’s mouth twitched before she said, “Yes, it’s possible.”
She walked into the apartment while Yan Nuo followed closely behind.
Ji Yinbing opened the door and was about to close it.
Yan Nuo finally reached in and said, “I was wrong.”
Yan Nuo knew his place.
Ji Yinbing looked back at him and said sarcastically, “Did I hear wrongly? What did I hear?”
Facing Ji Yinbing’s ridicule, Yan Nuo was extremely calm. He said again, “I really know my mistake.”
Ji Yinbing stared at him for nearly half a minute.
She did not plan to open the door and only asked him, “What did you do wrong?”
Yan Nuo said, “I shouldn’t have almost offended you without your permission.”
The door in front of him slammed shut.
Yan Nuo was speechless.
Did he say something wrong again?
It was dark, and the October night in Boston was a little cold. Yan Nuo, wearing only a shirt and a thin windbreaker, stood outside the door and was feeling a little cold. At about eleven o’clock, the door behind her opened.
Yan Nuo quickly crawled in.
Ji Yinbing sat on the sofa and watched a television drama about vampires.
Yan Nuo glanced at the vampire on the television and said, “It’s fake.”
Ji Yinbing rolled her eyes.
She was not stupid. Of course she knew that this was fake.
Ji Yinbing lay on the sofa and touched her stomach from time to time because of her menstruation. Yan Nuo saw it and thought about it carefully before asking, “Is it abdominal pain?”
Sometimes, when her period came, she would scold him every time she saw him as if she had eaten a firecracker.
Yan Nuo did not dare to provoke a woman on her period.
Ji Yinbing looked at him in surprise, feeling a little puzzled. He was a man, yet he still knew this.
Seeing that Ji Yinbing did not refute, Yan Nuo knew that he had guessed correctly.
He went to the kitchen to cook.
Ji Yinbing thought that he was cooking brown sugar water and felt that it was quite sweet of him to do so. A moment later, Yan Nuo walked out with a bowl. Ji Yinbing was still watching television when she heard Yan Nuo say, “Drink it. You’ll feel better after drinking it.”
She turned around with a faint smile and took the bowl with both hands.
It was impossible to be brown sugar water.
After cooking for so long, he was actually boiling water.
Yan Nuo said, “Drink more warm water.”
Ji Yinbing was speechless.
She held the warm water and drank it mouthful by mouthful. She could not help but feel sad. She thought to herself, Is my brain sandwiched by a door or something? I actually fell in love with this 1.92-meter wooden block!
Yan Nuo went to take a shower and wore a thick bathrobe to Ji Yinbing’s room.
Ji Yinbing did not lock the door. When Yan Nuo pushed the door open and entered, she was lying on the bed with a blindfold on. It was unknown if she was asleep or awake. Yan Nuo stood by the bed and apologized softly.
Ji Yinbing did not speak and did not react.
Her reaction convinced Yan Nuo that she was awake.
Yan Nuo continued, “I know. I shouldn’t have hurt Craven.” He stared at the person who had wrapped herself up like a silkworm baby and said in an indignant tone, “But he loves you. The thought of someone else loving you too makes me want to tear him apart.”
“Tdidn’t kill him. I was merciful.”
A pillow instantly smashed towards him.
Yan Nuo let the pillow hit him.
Ji Yinbing sat up. “You still think you’re not wrong.”
“Tm in the wrong!” Yan Nuo quickly said. “I know I shouldn’t have done that, but what can I do! I can’t control myself!” He growled. “We’re so far apart! We’re seven years apart! You’re so dazzling! Someone beside you is showing you care and concern. What about me? I love you, and I want to marry you!”
Yan Nuo roared, “But I can’t even marry you!”
Ji Yinbing was stunned.
Yan Nuo laughed self-deprecatingly. “Why? Are you shocked? Did I scare you by wanting to marry you?”
“Yan Nuo…”
“You said that you like China. I even want to emigrate to China but it’s not that easy to emigrate to China! You like America, so I plan to emigrate to America. However, I have to wait a few more years.” Seeing Ji Yinbing’s puzzled expression, Yan Nuo explained, “There are many industries, and I need time
to transfer.”
Ji Yinbing remained silent for a long time.
Yan Nuo rubbed his face in distress.
He sat down by Ji Yinbing’s bed and said to Ji Yinbing boldly, “I know I was wrong, but I won’t apologize to Craven.” It was impossible to apologize to his love rival.
Ji Yinbing looked at him for a long time before sighing silently.
Seeing that Ji Yinbing was not so angry anymore, Yan Nuo wanted to climb onto her bed. Just as he placed one leg on her, Ji Yinbing kicked him. “Don’t even think about getting onto my bed!”
Yan Nuo’s face darkened.
He came to find Ji Yinbing this time to beg for her forgiveness.
He did not stay in America for long before returning.
‘When Zhuang Long saw Ji Yinbing coming to see him with a smile, he knew that the misunderstanding between her and Yan Nuo had been resolved.
Time passed very quickly. In the blink of an eye, it was graduation season.
Craven could already graduate. He was already an MD. When he graduated, he came to find Ji Yinbing. Ji Yinbing would graduate in a year. When she saw him, she congratulated him.
“Can I take a photo with you?”
Craven said, “I received invitations from many research institutes. I’ll probably be working at the Ovikon Research Institute.” He shrugged and told Ji Yinbing, “You know, the Ovikon Research Institute is in Geneva. We’ll be pretty far apart.”
“We probably won’t see each other again.” Craven hid his feelings well. He said, “You’re the person I like after all. I want to take a photo with you.”
Ji Yinbing remained silent for a long time.
Seeing that she did not agree, Craven could not help but laugh self-deprecatingly. “You’re not even willing to give me a photo?”
“Okay.” Ji Yinbing agreed.
Craven was stunned for a moment before he smiled and revealed his white teeth.
He took out his camera and hugged Ji Yinbing’s shoulder. The two of them were very close. Before taking the photo, Craven said to Ji Yinbing, “It’s our only photo together. At least smile.”
Ji Yinbing smiled.
It was a faint smile, but it was breathtakingly beautiful.
Craven looked down at the photo. He stared at it for a long time before looking up at Ji Yinbing. “Do you know, you actually look good when you smile?” He shook the camera and said, “You have to smile more in the future.”
