Chapter 1900: Forgot to Wear the Other Shoe
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“I said I’m not going to the hospital. Since you’re already here, why don’t you go in? After you’re done, I’ll make her remember me. Don’t attract hatred. I want to live for a few more years.”
The car stopped by the roadside. Ji Fengmian opened the car door and alighted.
Glancing at the restaurant beside her, a sarcastic smile appeared on her lips.
It was one of the best restaurants in Ping Cheng City. Even an ordinary family wouldn’t come to such a place, let alone an orphan.
How generous.
!!
Chu Boyang got out of the car from the other side.
She stood at the periphery of the road. There were cars coming and going. Chu Bo raised his eyebrows and strode over, pulling her to the sidewalk on the other side.
Ji Fengmian pushed him away. “I’ll say it again. I’m not feeling well. I’m not going to the hospital. I just want to go home and rest. I’m not at the stage where you have to take care of me closely. So go to your appointment and I’ll go back myself.”
As she spoke, she took out her phone, intending to ask for a ride.
Chu Boyang pursed his lips and took her phone away.
Ji Fengmian looked at his empty hand and his expressionless face finally darkened.
“Chu Boyang, you have your limits. I’ve been good-tempered recently, but that doesn’t mean I’m a good-tempered person…”
Chu Boyang opened the car door and pushed her inside. “If you don’t want to go, then don’t go. Do you think I’m heartless and heartless for leaving you here to go back alone?”
Ji Fengmian smiled. “You’re heartless and heartless. That’s an insult to you.”
Chu Boyan bent down and got back into the car. He closed the door and said, “Drive.”
Ji Fengmian pinched the space between his eyebrows. “Don’t you feel tired after comforting me?”
“The two of you have never been on the same scale. Just because I comforted you doesn’t mean that I have to deal with her. I’ve already said that you don’t have to care about her.”
Ji Fengmian pursed his lips and looked ahead. “Stop the car. If you don’t listen and send me to the hospital, I don’t want your driver and car anymore.”
She saw the driver tense up slightly.
She wasn’t deaf.
Chu Boyang turned his head and stared at her for a while before placing his hand on her forehead. After confirming that there was no heat, he lowered his hand and asked her again.
“You really don’t have to go to the hospital?”
Ji Fengmian glanced at him silently.
His gaze was too direct, as if he was looking at an idiot.
Chu Boyang pursed his lips and reached out to hold her hand. “Let’s go home.”
“Back to my house,” Ji Fengmian added.
Chu Boyang didn’t say anything and glanced at the driver.
The driver understood.
On the way back, Ji Fengmian leaned against the seat and narrowed his eyes, as if he was really uncomfortable.
She had expected Ji Qing’s call.
Hence, when Chu Boyang answered the call and said that she wasn’t feeling well today, she didn’t even blink.
Was Chu Boyan honest?
Honesty.
Not only to her, but to everyone.
It seemed that there was no such thing as a lie in his dictionary.
However, she couldn’t possibly think that there was something wrong with a sincere person.
In a daze, she felt the car stop. Just as she sat up, Chu Boyang carried her out of the car.
When she saw that it was Chu Boyang’s apartment, she frowned. “Am I farting now?”
Chu Boyan gave her a disapproving look.
Ji Fengmian knew that it was because of her inelegant words, but she didn’t want to think of an elegant word to describe what she wanted to say.
And it carried some strength that she wanted.
“It’s more convenient here. Isn’t it uncomfortable?”
Ji Fengmian couldn’t be bothered with him.
Back at the apartment, Chu Boyan placed her on the sofa.
“Rest for a while. I’ll cook something for you.”
Ji Fengmian didn’t want to eat, but he didn’t say anything.
Indeed, as she had just said, what she said was equivalent to farting.
No matter what she said, Chu Boyang would not listen to her.
While Chu Boyang was cooking, she took a simple shower.
When she came out, she smelled the fragrance of porridge.
When she reached the dining room, Chu Boyang asked her to sit down. He was serving her porridge.
There were a few dishes on the table. They looked refreshing and delicious.
Ji Fengmian didn’t argue and sat there to eat.
Chu Boyang sat opposite her with a bowl of porridge in front of him.
She took two mouthfuls of porridge and her eyes flickered when she saw that Chu Boyang was only eating porridge.
“How lazy are you? Since you’re already in the kitchen, why don’t you make something for yourself?”
A smile appeared on Chu Boyang’s face. “This is good.”
Ji Fengmian didn’t say anything and focused on eating.
When Chu Boyang asked her if she felt better after dinner, Ji Fengmian answered ambiguously.
The next day, Ji Fengmian applied for leave and didn’t go to school.
Chu Boyang decided to stay at home to guard her.
The documents were placed on the coffee table in the living room while Ji Fengmian watched television.
Before noon, Ji Qing called to ask about their situation and asked about their lunch. She planned to come over, but Chu Boyang rejected her.
Ji Fengmian propped his forehead and watched the television drama that she had found midway.
Chu Boyang didn’t hide it and she could hear him even if she didn’t want to.
At this moment, she felt that women were really crazy when it came to dating.
She didn’t want Chu Boyang to do anything behind her back, but she didn’t want to watch them communicate openly under her watch either. It was even more annoying.
After hanging up, Chu Boyang looked at her and asked, “What do you want to eat for lunch?”
“I don’t know.”
There was still some time, so Chu Boyang didn’t probe further.
Not long after, the doorbell rang.
Ji Fengmian was sleepy. When he heard the sound, his sleepiness dissipated. The television in front of him had already changed its advertisement.
Chu Boyan got up to open the door.
It was Ji Qing.
“Why are you here?”
Ji Qing smiled. “Sister Mian isn’t feeling well, so I came to visit her.”
Ji Fengmian frowned.
No one knew better than Ji Qing that Ji Fengmian was unwell. If Ji Qing appeared in front of her again, she would probably want her to die as soon as possible.
Was she here to disgust her?
Ji Qing was carrying a bag of groceries. She had obviously come over for lunch.
When he entered the house and saw Ji Fengmian, he smiled and asked her where she was feeling unwell.
“Disgusting.”
She replied airily.
Ji Qing’s expression changed imperceptibly, but she still smiled and said, “Then I’ll make it lighter later.”
Chu Boyang said, “I’ll do it. If there’s nothing else, you can go back.”
Ji Qing shook her head. “Let me do it. You guys stood me up last night. It shouldn’t be too much to make up for my lunch today, right?”
Ji Fengmian sneered as he sat on the sofa.
Without waiting for anyone to agree, Ji Qing walked towards the kitchen.
“Oh right, Brother Boyang, Sister Mian, I bought a lot of groceries today. Can you call someone else over later?”
Chu Boyang frowned. “Who?”
“My friend.”
Without looking back, Ji Qing pulled open the kitchen door and isolated them.
Chu Boyang’s face darkened.
He didn’t know if it was because Ji Qing didn’t greet him, because she had to cook personally, or because she suddenly invited a stranger to his house.
Ji Fengmian looked at him and pursed his lips. He threw the remote control aside and stood up to go to the bedroom.
She and Ji Qing weren’t on the same scale?
Why wasn’t it? Wasn’t cotton and iron more important?
Chu Boyan stood in the empty living room, his expression even uglier.
Before lunch, the doorbell rang again.
Ji Qing ran out of the kitchen to open the door.
Chu Boyan sat on the sofa for more than half an hour. He had just picked up the second document.
Compared to the efficiency of Ji Fengmian’s television drama in the morning, the difference was like heaven and earth.
Ji Qing walked over with her guest. “Brother Boyan.”
Chu Boyang put down the document in his hand and stood up to look at the man beside Ji Qing.
Dressed simply with a polite and shy smile, he looked a little uneasy. Seeing Chu Boyang stand up, he quickly smiled and said,
“Hello, I’m Gao Zicheng, Ji Qing’s… classmate.”
Chu Boyang glanced at Ji Qing coldly and nodded lightly.
“You came just in time. I’ve already prepared the dishes. Brother Boyang, call Sister Mian out for dinner.”
“Yeah.”
Ji Fengmian didn’t intend to give Ji Qing face. There was no need for him to be disgusted.
However, Chu Boyang did not allow her to skip lunch. He had no verbal advantage and could only win with his strength.
She was carried to the dining room.
She wasn’t wearing shoes, so he threw the cushion on his chair under her feet for her to step on.
Although she didn’t want to give Ji Qing face, she didn’t want to forget about Chu Boyang.
It was quite awkward to sit here and argue with him.
Their intimate actions left Gao Zicheng at a loss.
Ji Qing smiled and scooped some soup for them before sitting down. “The soup is very light. I added a few drops of vinegar. Sister Mian, finish the soup first to stimulate your stomach.”
Ji Fengmian pursed his lips and stomped on Chu Boyang’s foot twice.
She was angry, but she had to care about his reputation.
How could she be happy?
Chu Boyang curled his lips slightly. He knew that she had suddenly given such a reason, so he allowed her to vent.
Ji Fengmian casually took a sip of the soup and raised an eyebrow.
Ji Qing smiled and asked, “How is it, Sister Mian?”
Ji Fengmian scooped another spoonful into his mouth and said calmly, “There’s nothing wrong with your cooking.”
“That’s good.”
Ji Fengmian didn’t say anything and finished the soup slowly.
Seeing this, Ji Qing refilled her bowl.
Seeing how adorable she was today, Chu Boyang picked up some food for her. “Eat something. Don’t be full from the soup later.”
Ji Fengmian seemed to be deliberately opposing him as he took another sip. “Am I a child? Why do you have to care so much about a meal?”
“Children might not need others to worry about them.”
Ji Fengmian frowned.
“You’re my ancestor,” Chu Boyang added.
Ji Qing ate two mouthfuls of food. She had seen the actions of the two people opposite her. Gao Zicheng was also at a loss.
She gently put down her chopsticks and looked at Chu Boyang and Ji Fengmian. Then, she smiled and said,
“Brother Boyang, Sister Mian, I’m here today to tell you something…”
Chu Boyang narrowed his eyes and glanced at Gao Zicheng.
Ji Fengmian didn’t respond.
“It’s indeed a little sudden to call Zicheng today. I wanted to tell you last night, but I didn’t expect Sister Mian to suddenly feel unwell… But it’s okay to tell you today… Actually… Zicheng is my boyfriend.”
After she finished speaking, Gao Zicheng smiled.
Ji Fengmian finally looked up and sized up Gao Zicheng.
The clean boy smiled shyly, obviously nervous.
She looked at Ji Qing and pursed her lips. She placed her hand on the edge of the table. “I didn’t notice any signs of you dating before. Why are you so sudden?”
Ji Qing said, “I’ve been in university for three years. It’s not rare for me to be in a relationship, right? It’s not that sudden. He’s been pursuing me for a year. He’s a good person.”
Ji Fengmian rested his chin on his hand and glanced at Gao Zicheng. Then, he looked at Ji Qing for a long time before smiling.
“Is that so?”
Ji Qing nodded with a smile and turned her gaze stiffly to Chu Boyang. “You’re my closest friends, so I want to share this with you immediately.”
Chu Boyang didn’t look happy.
Ji Fengmian drank two bowls of soup and ate a few mouthfuls of food before he stopped eating.
Chu Boyang kept a straight face and didn’t follow through on his words.
She had only eaten two mouthfuls of rice.
Chu Boyang didn’t say anything else.
How should he put it?
She didn’t need someone to coax her to eat.
She wouldn’t be so hungry that she couldn’t tell the difference.
However, he had forgotten to put on the other shoe for her. He wasn’t conscious, but she was the one who felt uncomfortable walking barefoot.
Even though it was a small matter, wasn’t some things revealed from small matters?
Her slender fingers stroked her eyebrows. She placed her chopsticks on the dining table and stood up.
“I’m full. Take your time.”
Chu Boyang glanced at her before putting down his chopsticks and getting up to hug her.
However, she stepped on the ground first and avoided Chu Boyang. She looked at his warm smile.
“No need.”
After a few steps, Ji Fengmian entered the bedroom barefooted.
As long as there were no glass shards on the ground, walking barefoot was much more convenient than walking with only one shoe.
After returning to the bedroom, she found her clothes and put them on. Just as the bedroom door opened slightly, Chu Boyang’s cold voice sounded.
“I won’t agree!”
Ji Fengmian didn’t move his hand.
Ji Qing’s voice sounded. “This is my own business.”
“He’s been pursuing you for more than a year, and you’ve been hiding for more than a year. Do you really understand him?”
“Of course I understand! Otherwise, why would I choose him?”
Chu Boyang suddenly stood up from the sofa with a cold expression. “Of course I know that you don’t understand him! So you should ask yourself why you chose him! I’m warning you, you’d better stay away from him…”
