Chapter 1142: I Really Like You!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
This sudden intimate action made Jian Ai’s body involuntarily stiffen for a moment. In her two lifetimes, she had never been so close to anyone of the opposite sex except her brother.
Fortunately, Ji Haoyu did nothing else. He only hugged Jian Ai’s shoulder and tightened his grip, as if afraid that Jian Ai would be cold. Then, he walked out of the police station’s yard and said, “It’s rare for me to be diligent these days. When I had time, I went to Erzhong to pick Haoxue up from school. In the end, I didn’t see you even once. When Haoxue saw me, she said that I had an ulterior motive.”
Jian Ai let Ji Haoyu drag her away, but when she heard this, she said helplessly, “You sound as if I’m deliberately hiding from you.”
“I especially waited for a while. I often see that girl who’s on good terms with you, but I didn’t see you,” Ji Haoyu said calmly. As soon as he finished speaking, he couldn’t help but look down at Jian Ai. “You’re not hiding from me?”
Jian Ai chuckled and looked up at Ji Haoyu. “If I had the intention to avoid you, would I have asked you for help today? Moreover, why should I avoid you? Although I owe you a few favors and a few meals, I don’t have to hide from you, right? I don’t owe you money!”
!!
Ji Haoyu couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows slightly when he heard this. He felt that Jian Ai made sense.
Jian Ai continued, “I haven’t been to school recently. Besides, if you want to look for me, you can call me directly. Why did you have to do a chance encounter? Are you old-fashioned?”
When Ji Haoyu heard this, he couldn’t help but bite his lower lip gently. Then, he said with a smile, “I think with our fate, we should meet under any circumstances. Isn’t it much more romantic than calling?”
“Tsk…” Jian Ai couldn’t help but sneer. “Romantic my ass. Childish!”
Sometimes, Jian Ai really wanted to pry open Ji Haoyu’s head to see what the structure inside was like.
Ji Haoyu did not care about Jian Ai’s evaluation because to him, perhaps only when facing Jian Ai would he reveal this unknown side.
After getting into the car, Jian Ai instantly warmed up and heaved a sigh of relief. Ji Haoyu started the car and turned his head. “Are we still going back to North City?”
Jian Ai nodded and said, “Yes, I have to pack my luggage tomorrow. I forgot to tell you I’m leaving Baiyun City for a while to handle something in Italy.”
Ji Haoyu could not help but be stunned when he heard that. “Go to Italy? When will you be back?”
Jian Ai pursed her lips and shook her head. “I can’t say for sure. Let’s see how it goes. Call me if anything happens.”
Ji Haoyu did not ask why Jian Ai would go to Italy. However, he did not know Jian Ai’s return date, which made him feel a little stifled.
However, he did not show it and only nodded silently.
Jian Ai’s body was exhausted. Not long after, she leaned against the comfortable seat and fell asleep. Her smooth face was calm, and her long and curled eyelashes were lively. Ji Haoyu looked at Jian Ai twice as he drove, and the expression in his eyes softened.
Outside the neighborhood, as soon as Ji Haoyu’s car stopped, Jian Ai subconsciously woke up. She looked around sleepily and muttered, “We’re here?”
“Yes.” Ji Haoyu curled his lips slightly and looked at Jian Ai. “Go back and rest well. Do you need me to send you to the airport the day after tomorrow?”
Jian Ai took off her coat and returned it to Ji Haoyu. Hearing this, she quickly rejected, “No need to trouble yourself. I’m not going alone this time. You don’t have to worry too much.”
As soon as she said this, Jian Ai suddenly felt strange. She asked Ji Haoyu not to worry about her?
Yes… She couldn’t say what was strange, but Jian Ai felt it was a little strange.
“Thank you for today. I owe you another favor,” Jian Ai said.
Ji Haoyu turned his body and casually placed a hand on the back of the chair. When he heard this, he couldn’t help but chuckle. “No hurry. Return it slowly.”
Jian Ai raised her eyebrows slightly. The moment she opened the door, she turned around and said to Ji Haoyu, “You should go back and rest early too. Call me if anything happens.”
Ji Haoyu nodded and waved his hand. “Got it!”
Jian Ai stood up and got out of the car. She ran towards the neighborhood under the streetlights.
Ji Haoyu watched Jian Ai’s back gradually disappear into the night through the car window. He had the feeling that his heart was gradually leaving with her.
Ji Haoyu pursed his thin lips and stared at the darkness for a long time. In the end, he suddenly smiled meaningfully.
Girl, I really like you!
On the other hand, Qiao Yuan drove Wang Zichen and Wang Zimeng back to his home. It was a high-end villa district in Haicheng District.
Along the way, Wang Zichen sat in the backseat and said nothing. Wang Zimeng was still shocked, so she said nothing as well. Qiao Yuan knew he had to give Wang Zichen time to digest this person who had turned up, so he remained silent.
When the car stopped, Qiao Yuan said, “We’re at Uncle Qiao’s house. Get out!”
The two of them followed Qiao Yuan into the villa. The lights were switched on, and the house was decorated in a gray and white tone. It was a contrast to Qiao Yuan’s jumpy personality. On the left side of the door was a three-meter-tall Transformers model.
Wang Zichen, who had a dispirited expression just now, couldn’t help but widen his eyes when he saw this model. Surprise filled his eyes, and he couldn’t help but shout, “Optimus!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Zichen rushed forward excitedly and looked around the model, as if he couldn’t bear to part with it.
Seeing this, Qiao Yuan couldn’t help but smile and walk forward. “Zichen, you like Transformers too?”
Wang Zichen nodded agitatedly. Then, he looked at Qiao Yuan and said, “Uncle Qiao, I should be asking you this, right? You have Transformers around you!”
When Qiao Yuan heard Wang Zichen’s words, he couldn’t help but laugh. “Uncle Qiao also had a childhood. At that time, I was still reading comics.”
“Uncle Qiao has a room upstairs. It’s filled with anime. If you like these, why don’t you stay in that room today?”
When Wang Zichen heard this, his eyes lit up. “Really? Uncle Qiao, you’re also an anime fan?”
“Of course.” Qiao Yuan smiled and patted Wang Zichen’s shoulder. “The innermost room on the right on the second floor. You’ll know when you go up and take a look!”
Wang Zichen nodded repeatedly. He changed his shoes and rushed upstairs impatiently. Seeing this, Qiao Yuan couldn’t help but smile and heave a sigh of relief.
“Uncle Qiao, my father never let my brother read anime and comic books. He has been reading them secretly.” Seeing this, Wang Zimeng said softly, “I didn’t expect Uncle Qiao to be an anime fan as well. This will definitely add points to your status in my brother’s heart.”
When Qiao Yuan heard this, he couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows smugly. “That’s good. It’s an unexpected blessing.”
