This kind of liking was love at first sight, a persistent pursuit, and also a deep affection that accumulated over time.
This kind of liking was an emotion, a story, an endless series of small scenes, everything he saw that belonged to Yanyi, without exception, were the existences he liked!
From the moment he saw Yanyi, he placed his love on her, even including a familial affection, and then this feeling, with the passage of time, became more and more intense, deep into the marrow, unforgettable.
Ask him what he likes about Yanyi, he really couldn’t answer.
"Why don’t you speak?" Qin Jiran’s silence made Su Yanyi curious, and since she couldn’t see his expression, she had no choice but to ask again.
"I’m thinking about how to answer. My words might sound clumsy, and I don’t know how to express it, but I just know that I really like you, I like everything about you." Qin Jiran couldn’t figure it out, so he had to answer honestly.
Yanyi, who was lying down, couldn’t help but smile upward. The words written in books really did have some truth in them. It said that to like someone is to like the entirety of that person, and it seemed Qin Jiran felt the same way.
But what about her liking for Qin Jiran, what exactly did she like about him?
Su Yanyi stopped questioning Qin Jiran and instead began to seriously ponder.
In fact, upon reflection, Qin Jiran had many strengths which she had already summarized: handsome looks, a good figure, good at acting, skilled, capable, with a good personality, good culinary skills, and most importantly, he was good to her. She found all these qualities appealing, and as for Qin Jiran’s shortcomings; a bit wooden, somewhat passive, not quite adept at pursuing girls, not knowing how to be romantic, but in reality, these confirmed traits were also what she liked. Maybe it was due to her personality; she was very assertive and proactive, and she liked her partner to be gentle, understanding, and tolerant. That’s what made her feel comfortable when they were together.
The more Su Yanyi thought about it, the more she felt that both Qin Jiran’s strengths and weaknesses were existences she liked very much. So it was indeed liking a person as a whole.
"Then I’ll just like everything." Yanyi spoke indifferently, but in her heart, she was thinking that this must be mutual affection between them. She just wondered whether she should tell Qin Jiran that she liked him too, and that it was the kind of liking where she liked everything about him.
After some thought, a sly glint flashed in Su Yanyi’s eyes, but she had no intention of voicing it. Let the silly man slowly figure it out. After all, they had a long future ahead, and one day he would know.
Today both of them arrived at the company and the crew later than usual. There weren’t any issues for Su Yanyi; as president, it didn’t matter if she was late, and no one would say anything even if she didn’t come. As for Qin Jiran, when he arrived late, many people asked out of concern. He didn’t explain, simply saying he had something to do before going to change his clothes.
Jiang Xiaobin, as the assistant, naturally followed and, very observantly, spotted a mark at the corner of Qin Jiran’s mouth. While helping the costume designer dress Qin Jiran, he also revealed an expression that seemed to say, "I knew it."
"Brother Qin, the sister-in-law was also late to the company, right? Did you two enjoy your little world?" Jiang Xiaobin teased Qin Jiran with a wink and a nudge.
Qin Jiran gave Jiang Xiaobin a cold look, continued to lower his head to put on his clothes, and plainly ignored him.
Jiang Xiaobin pursed his lips. He knew Qin Jiran very well. Don’t be fooled by his expressionless face; he could be having a strong reaction internally, just being habitually cool and collected. However, he didn’t tease Qin Jiran anymore and kindly straightened his collar for him, covering up the mark on his neck.
