follow my heart

Chapter 78

A dim dream flashed through my mind, there was no connection between the characters and the events, and it was forgotten in a blink of an eye, and a real and illusory story followed in a blink of an eye.Ji Wan was trapped in the dream, and struggled to open her eyes, but there was no light from the closed curtains.

The bedside was empty.

She turned over and saw Meng Buqing sitting at the table studying.The slides are projected on the computer, and the notebook is projected on the desk lamp.The back figure in the water blue nightdress is slender, quiet and well-behaved.

"Get up so early."

Hearing the words, Meng Buqing turned sideways and looked at her with a smile: "It's getting late."

She just finished writing the last page of notes, closed the computer, got up, and went to open the heavy blackout curtains.The brilliant light of noon flooded the room.

When her face was greeted by the light, Ji Wan closed her eyes, her sleepy subconscious was awakened by the light.She sat up slowly, and when she was changing clothes, she saw Meng Buqing staring at her out of the corner of her eye.

"what happened?"

His tone was hoarse and low.

Laziness that seems to have not yet woken up.

"It's nothing." Meng Buqing lingered on a certain part of her body for a while, and quickly turned his head away, hiding the smile on his lips.

Ji Wan just wanted to say something.

When she got out of bed, she felt sore and limp all over after exerting herself.

All the way to the bathroom.Only when the bright and clean mirror reflected the figure, did Ji Wan realize what that little bastard was looking at just now.

The light red marks on her neck made her fair and delicate skin look aggrieved - in fact, it didn't hurt - it was slightly itchy to the touch.

It just looks very ambiguous.Gently raising the eyelids, a pair of upturned peach blossom eyes shone with a secret brilliance of temptation.Even with a slightly pale face, it looks like the burnout of excessive indulgence.

Ji Wan took photos from left to right, and couldn't help feeling a little hot, and raised her hands to cover her neckline in an attempt to cover it.

Then wash your face with cold water.

—

Soon, the meal delivery service arrived.There are white tables and chairs on the small terrace outside the room, and the edge of the parasol sways slightly in the breeze, overlooking the sparkling lake.

Meng Buqing took a bite of the big bread, but unexpectedly, he was scalded to the tip of his tongue by the sliced ​​meat sandwich inside.

She raised her face and inhaled, and said with tears in her eyes, "It's the first time in my life that I ate bread and it was scalded."

"Why are you eating so fast?" Ji Wan poured her a glass of water and handed it over, "Very hungry? Haven't eaten anything in the morning?"

"Ah."

Meng Buqing gulped down the water.

"Wake up so early, study without eating," Ji Wan stared at her, and asked a little funny, "When did you become such a hardworking kid?"

"..."

Meng Buqing paused with the hand that put down the cup, looked up at her, and said calmly: "It's not a child."

Then he lowered his head and took a bite of the bread.

He explained: "I don't know why I got up early to study. I had nothing to do when I woke up and wanted to play games, but when I saw you by my side, I wanted to work harder. Studying seems to have become more interesting."

The corners of Ji Wan's lips twitched, "Do you like me that much?"

"Well," Meng Buqing nodded, and said naturally while gnawing on the gradually hardening bread in sunny weather, "I like you the most."

The wind gently brushed her long hair, rubbing her cheeks with an itchy feeling, Ji Wan stretched out her hand to brush her hair.She remained calm in Meng Buqing's words.

Meng Buqing looked at her with a crooked smile, "Are you shy?"

"No." Ji Wan pursed her lips, "Why are you shy..."

Meng Buqing looked at her, drank the water in the glass, and said slowly: "Every time you are shy, you will be silent."

After all, we have been together for so long.

This observation is still there.

Ji Wan smiled lightly and turned her face to the side, looking at the scenery beside her.There is a clear lake below, which seems to be shimmering with gold fragments under the sunlight.

Meng Buqing turned sideways and took out the wine from the ice bucket under the dining car.The milky white cocktail started to bubble when it was opened, and she quickly poured it into the glass.

"Drinking now?" Ji Wan looked sideways, turned on her phone to check the time, "Aren't you going out to play this afternoon?"

Meng Buqing picked up a small biscuit and stared at her innocently: "Yesterday was a bit of a toss, I thought your physical strength, today you can only rest."

Ji Wan was speechless.

She really didn't have the energy to continue exercising, her whole body was sore and limp.

Meng Buqing was eating biscuits.

The crispy texture of the biscuit is like chewing plastic paper, and the whole dry biscuit is very salty to eat.She hurriedly picked up the glass and took a sip of the wine, trying to relieve the salty taste.

As a result, the wine drank like bubbling sea water.

She frowned, swallowed bitterly, and asked, "What kind of wine is this, why is it salty?!"

Ji Wan picked up the glass bottle, turned to the label and translated with a smile: "Sea salt-flavored cocktail... isn't it good?"

"I don't know whether it tastes good or not," Meng Buqing frowned, and tasted it carefully, feeling the salty taste of sea salt wrapped in the rich air bubbles, "It's weird anyway."

Ji Wan also poured herself a glass and drank it slowly.

Remind her while drinking: "This alcohol is quite high, don't drink too much."

Having said that, the two of them were chatting on the terrace with the wind blowing, the scenery was pleasant and the atmosphere was pleasant.Meng Buqing got used to the peculiar taste of wine, drank it cup by cup, and quickly drank half of the bottle.

Ji Wan didn't stop her either.

Let her drink.

Anyway, today is the schedule for lounging in the room.

Until, Meng Buqing's speech slowed down and his tone rose slightly.Ji Wan couldn't help but put away her cup, leaned over, and put the back of her hand against her face, "Go back to your room. It's easy to catch a cold and catch a cold if you're drunk and wind outside."

"Who's drunk?"

She responded immediately.

Ji Wan looked at her with funny eyes.

"I'm drunk and want to go back to my room, is that okay?"

"...Oh," Meng Buqing patted her head slowly, staring at her face, still wondering why she got drunk so easily today, "Then let's go back to the room."

As soon as the glass door is pushed and closed, the ambient sound outside is immediately cut off.

It was quiet all around.

Meng Buqing sat on the bed, holding the edge with his hands obediently, and the dizzy fluctuations in his head slowly settled.She looked at Ji Wan, "Why are you still drinking?"

Ji Wan held the wine glass with her slender fingers, leaning halfway against the table.

She had a smile in her eyes, "There's still a little left, so just drink it up."

Meng Buqing stared at her graceful figure, very gentle, and asked politely: "Can you sit on me and drink?"

Ji Wan: "..."

Ji Wan raised her hand, drank the wine in one gulp, and put the glass on the table casually.

Walking over, pinching her cheek, "Are you sleepy after getting up so early?"

"A bit."

"Let's take a nap then."

Said, helping her take off her coat.

Meng Buqing lifted the quilt and got in, and found that Ji Wan walked to the table and picked up the phone to read the news.He didn't look like he was going to take a nap with her.

That's right, after all, she just woke up not long ago.

"Aren't you going to accompany me?" Meng Buqing sat up, pulled the quilt to her neck and covered her head only, and stared straight at her with a pair of black eyes, pretending to be pitiful, "I can't sleep without you."

Ji Wan couldn't help laughing, and walked to the bedside.

"Okay, I'll sleep with you."

Meng Buqing turned sideways in satisfaction, wrapping her arms around her waist.I thought again, would this be a bit too clingy?Her alienation, sense of distance, indifference... These qualities that used to make her feel that she was sober in the world disappeared without a trace after bumping into Ji Wan.

On the contrary, it is getting clingy day by day...

Meng Buqing wanted to ask her if she felt a little too tired.He opened his mouth, afraid of getting an affirmative answer.

Suddenly, a plot that I read in a book came to my mind.

When a couple was having dinner, the girl fixed her eyes on the boy and asked: Do you think I'm bossy?

The boy who wanted to ask this question was caught off guard because it was an English word.

Knowing that it is a derogatory color, coupled with subconscious unfamiliarity and resistance to English.

He shook his head and denied it.

So much so that after that, she was completely led by the nose by the girl.

Meng Buqing, who had never seen the world, was shocked by this careful language at that time, and firmly remembered this trivial detail in the book.

A sentence came to his lips: "Do you think I'm clingy?"

Ji Wan nodded: "Yes."

Meng Buqing looked at her with wide eyes: "Huh?"

"What's the matter," Ji Wan said softly, with a smile in her eyes, "Are you expecting me to refute?"

"..."

Meng Buqing remained silent.

Suddenly, I realized that the reason why the boy in the novel would refute was because he was unfamiliar with English, so he fell for this subconscious trick.

Ji Wan can't.

And most importantly -

Meng Buqing only now remembered that the novel was written by Ji Wan...

Since graduating from high school, the main way for Meng Buqing to acquire additional cultural knowledge is to read Qi Wen's novels repeatedly all year round.

Before, in front of Ji Wan, she said that she had a strong resonance with Qi Min's works.

Ji Wan once said meaningfully: It is really easy for you to listen to what I say.

The corners of Meng Buqing's lips twitched, feeling that Ji Wan would control her for the rest of her life, but she didn't even hate it.There's also an eerie sweetness to it.

She was silent for her own futility.

"Isn't it sticky?" Ji Wan looked at her gently but earnestly, and said amusedly, "Thought you knew that I would eat this."

Meng Buqing raised his face and narrowed his eyes to look at her.

I really want to see Ji Wan showing a panicked expression.

Under the indulgence of alcoholism, he suddenly uttered the words that had been hidden in his heart for a long time, "Once when I was looking for something in the study, I accidentally saw a thick cowhide booklet, which contained novel book reviews."

Ji Wan reacted, the smile on her face restrained.

"Ha!" Meng Buqing felt complacent, and thought to herself, after seeing her flustered, "I always thought I was pretending to be very good." So he said mercilessly, "I discovered your secret a long time ago."

Ji Wan lowered her eyelids and quickly calmed down, "Then you can hold your breath."

"Well," Meng Buqing laughed, "You and Cui Youran are still trying to play me."

"I've never partnered with her."

Ji Wan also smiled, and put the back of her hand against her cheek.

The alcohol made her face hot.Meng Buqing closed her eyes, rubbed her cheek comfortably against her hand, then grabbed her wrist, pulled it to her lips, and kissed her palm with soft lips.

Crispy numb, very itchy.

Ji Wan tried to pull out her hand, her cheeks got closer to her, staring at the eyes that were close at hand, and said affectionately:

"I'm not a genius girl, I let you down."

"..."

Meng Buqing forgot about this.

She was a little embarrassed.

My previous self was so stupid, I made up my mind about the plot in the novel without authorization.She thought Qi Min was good at sports, but she didn't move at all. She thought Qi Min was proficient in tea ceremony, but she made tea and poured boiling water directly into a large cup.

"I'm sorry," Ji Wan apologized solemnly, "I ruined the beautiful fantasy in your heart. Qi Wen is not at all the talented, different, young, and charming you thought."

Meng Buqing didn't expect her to say that.

The long eyelashes flickered, and he grabbed her wrist and slid to catch her pulse.Under the delicate skin, throbbing, warm, real existence.

Not imagined.

"You are like a fairy in the sky," Meng Buqing was still dizzy, but felt that he was sober. In the bouts of top-heavy drunkenness, his tired but twinkling eyes stared at her, "I still can't find your skirt, There's no way to hide it secretly..."

"There's no need to hide any skirts," Ji Wan smiled softly, "I couldn't escape from your grasp."

As he spoke, he clasped his fingers with her.

Meng Buqing sighed contentedly, "That's great, maybe I did good deeds in my previous life."

Maybe he was drunk, and his heart was beating faster than usual, which seemed to be hanging.

He said in a daze, "It suddenly occurred to me that when you took care of me for the first time, you covered me with a blanket, and in the end you covered my head directly, as if you were going to send me away. Then my copy failed."

"...Then hold grudges?"

"It's not grudges, it's gratitude." Meng Buqing sighed, "Mr. Ji, you seem to be very good at taking care of people now."

Ji Wan bent her lips, although she didn't think so, she still swayed when she heard it, "Thank you for your praise."

"Well, it's good for me to have you," Meng Buqing stared into her eyes, as if being gentle and coquettish and asking himself, "Is it a good thing for you to have me?"

Her appearance brought light to Meng Buqing's dark and fuzzy future.Give her the courage to come out of Truman's world.

I don't know if I can repay her enough...

Ji Wan read the meaning in her eyes, "Of course it's a good thing."

After waiting for a moment, he finally decided what to say next.

"Before I met you, I was always looking for a way to deal with loneliness and alienation," Ji Wan stroked the back of her hand, her voice was soft and soft, "It's actually a good way to cover up with work."

When the things that need to be busy are like sand and gravel, filling the air, there is always not enough time, and of course loneliness cannot appear.

"Later, I wanted to use philosophical speculation and meditation to figure out the correct formula that really fit me. I was messed up and thought a lot. Between the conception and reality, I was thinking, confused, and then I ran into you. Thinking suddenly disintegrated, my Logic becomes ruthless, and then my mind is full of ways to keep you, the little one, by my side."

What impresses Ji Wan may be her kind and cunning eyes, or her moving face when she reads the story she has woven.

I can't tell myself.

I only know that when I come back to my senses, I am afraid that for the first time, I will have the desire to get closer to others.

Calmly sinking into her deep dimples.

Ji Wan said slowly: "You make me feel that all the pain I have experienced before has become insignificant. I just want to hold your hand tightly for the rest of my life, accompany you, and take care of you. Learn to cook with you, Playing chess in the rainy night."

Bright summer nights, that ridiculously risky investment.

It turned out to be love.
