Chapter 128 Why are you so nice to me?
When Jiang Yan walked into the next room, which was also pure white, Zhuo Qing was sitting on a stool, looking sullen. She was holding her round face in her hands, and her big, blinking eyes were filled with boredom.
The two rooms are connected, separated only by a door.
When Jiang Yan bought this place, it was just for the convenience of skiing here. Later, when Leng Xiyu found out, he very ostentatiously bought the land next door and decorated the two rooms exactly the same.
Jiang Yan had scoffed at him countless times for this, but he only found out later that Zhuo Qing actually loved skiing, and Yu would always do a lot for his little sister without her even realizing it.
Seeing that Zhuo Qing hadn't noticed his presence for quite some time, Jiang Yanhui coughed lightly. Zhuo Qing immediately turned around and jumped up, exclaiming, "Brother Yanhui!"
"What are you thinking about? I've been here for ages and you haven't reacted at all." Jiang Yan smiled her signature smile and walked towards her.
When Zhuo Qing smiled with her eyes narrowed, two small dimples appeared on her cheeks, making her even more charming and adorable. Her voice was also sweet and cloying, "No, Brother Yan Hui, how many days are you staying this time?"
Jiang Yan sat back on the sofa, casually flicking her long fingers. "I'm not quite sure yet. I'll go back whenever I want."
Zhuo Qing immediately looked envious. "Brother Yan Hui, I really want to go back too. I've been in America for two years, and I'm so bored. There's no one to play with."
"Really? How come you have no one to play with? Don't you have a lot of friends?"
"Those people are no fun!"
Jiang Yan smiled slightly and nodded in agreement, "That's true. No matter how good those people are, they can't compare to your brother Xiyu."
Upon hearing this, Zhuo Qing's face immediately flushed slightly, feeling somewhat awkward.
Seeing this, Jiang Yan raised her eyebrows slightly and sighed casually, saying as if it were nothing, "But he's been much more relaxed these past two years without you by his side, and he has more time for leisure and fun."
These words caused Zhuo Qing's expression to change instantly, her delicate eyebrows furrowing into a knot. "Is Brother Xiyu very free lately?" Last night she had called Leng Xiyu, originally wanting him to come skiing with her. But he clearly said that he was very busy with work lately and couldn't find the time at all, otherwise she wouldn't be so sullen.
Jiang Yan casually ran her fingers across her eyebrows, her smile even more gentle and harmless. "Who said he's busy? He's been busy lately, going out to eat, watch movies, and sing karaoke with celebrities and models every few days."
At this point, Zhuo Qing's face had completely darkened. Jiang Yan glanced down and saw that her two small hands were clenched into fists at her sides, and her small body was tense, exuding the kind of suppressed anger he was familiar with.
He knew he had achieved his goal, so he stood up, patted Zhuo Qing's shoulder, and said in his usual gentle voice, "Qingqing, Brother Yan Hui won't be staying here for long. He'll probably leave in two or three days. Oh, by the way, you said you were bored in America. I'll talk to your aunt about it sometime. Actually, you've been studying in America for two years, which is about enough. When you come back, your Brother Xi Yu won't be running around outside all the time. With a good little sister at home, how can he care about any wild little sisters outside?"
After embellishing the story, Jiang Yan adjusted her collar and leisurely left.
Zhuo Qing stood there alone, her cute little face already ashen. She bit her lip and gritted her teeth angrily, cursing inwardly.
Damn Leng Xiyu, damn Leng Xiyu!
While she was away, he actually went on a date with a young model? They even went out to eat and sing karaoke?
How could he do these things with other women? Especially those vixens!
No, she absolutely cannot let that happen!
Her bright, large eyes narrowed slightly, a glint of cunning flashing deep within them; she had already made a decision.
At the same time, Leng Xiyu, far away in City A, was looking at a cooperation document in his office. In the middle of the night, the window behind him suddenly made a muffled "bang". He frowned and turned around to find that the window had been opened at some point. He got up and closed the window, and the glass window reflected a photo frame on his desk, showing two men and a woman smiling sweetly.
He looked at the little girl's big eyes in the center of the photo frame, and suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.
Why does he feel uneasy?
Jiang Yan recalled the debt she owed to Leng Xiyu for playing her before.
He's in a great mood now that he's gotten it back.
When he returned to his room, he saw Siyi looking troubled by the ski equipment. He raised an eyebrow, walked over to her, stood behind her, and asked in a deep voice, "What's wrong? Haven't you chosen yet?" As he spoke, he squatted down and helped her choose a black ski suit. When she put it on, it fit her surprisingly well. He then pointed to the ski boots and said, "Pick a pair."
Siyi had already taken the boots before, and now she spoke the truth, "They're too heavy. I'm afraid I won't be able to walk in them." 13acv.
Jiang Yan smiled faintly, then quickly squatted down again, unfastened all the clips on her boots, and gestured for her to stretch her foot out.
His movements were natural and skillful, without the slightest hesitation, while Siyi sat on the stool to the side, looking somewhat embarrassed.
"What are you standing there for? Give me your leg." Jiang Yan frowned impatiently when she saw that she didn't stretch out her leg.
Siyi thought for a moment and then said, "I'll do it myself."
"Is this your first time wearing this? You might feel a little uncomfortable wearing this for the first time."
Seeing her fidgeting, Jiang Yan knew what she was thinking. Ignoring her, she simply reached out and grabbed her ankle, pulling her closer. "Silly girl, you're usually so smart and decisive, why do you always act so coy at crucial moments? You can't do this on your own, so I'll help you."
As he spoke, his hands moved even faster, already holding her feet and easily putting on her thick shoes, then fastening them with two clicks. "Alright, get up and walk around?"
These ski boots are designed to fix the ankle, so you definitely won't be able to walk in them for long.
Siyi struggled to her feet, took a few unsteady steps, and said with some trepidation, "This... I think I'm not very good at walking anymore."
Jiang Yan leaned casually against the wall, raised an eyebrow, and said nonchalantly, "Baby, don't worry, I'm here for you. I'll teach you."
He always managed to say things so smoothly, as if they were lovers who had been together for years, when they were clearly nothing at all. Siyi, deep down, was still a conventional girl. While not pedantic or stubborn, she still had her own principles. Before, she had always tried to ignore what happened between her and Jiang Yanhui, but now she understood that some things couldn't be ignored simply by wanting to.
At least this man, she knew she couldn't ignore him!
She would get angry when he was with other women, furious at a few words he said, and also feel sweetened to the core by his sweet talk.
Although she had never been in a relationship before, these feelings she had never experienced before all came to her because of the man in front of her. What did this mean? She wasn't truly oblivious...
She glanced at Jiang Yan, slowly took a breath, and finally sat down before asking, "Why did you bring me here?"
"Don't you like skiing?" he answered lightly.
“If I remember correctly, there are ski resorts in City A. Why come all this way?” She wasn't one to go halfway around the world just to ski; she wasn't one for extravagance. She raised her head, her gaze fixed intently on him. “Why did you bring me here? And this house, is it yours?”
Jiang Yan saw the doubt in her heart and just smiled. "It's mine. I come here once a year, so I built this house." He paused, looking thoughtful. After a moment, he suddenly spoke in a deep voice, "When I miss my mother, I come here to ski. Looking at the white expanse around me, sometimes you feel that your world and your heart are like that white world, pure and clean, like a blank sheet of paper."
Siyi looked at him with some surprise, but what surprised her was not anything else, but the words he said that she missed her mother.
She was such a perceptive person; in a flash, she caught something, and her delicate eyebrows furrowed.
She still remembers dreaming about her mother last night. Did she talk in her sleep?
So, did he bring himself here to relieve his stress in his own way?
Siyi lowered her eyes, her hands awkwardly clasped together. After a long while, she took a deep breath and held it, as if she were going all out, and said forcefully, "Jiang Yanhui, I have a question for you."
Jiang Yan seemed lost in her own memories, and gave a somewhat casual hum, "What's the problem?"
Without giving herself any chance to hesitate, she mustered her courage and asked, "...I just want to ask you, why are you so good to me?"
She wasn't a cold-blooded animal; how could she not know how he treated her?
He led himself into his most tender inner world.
He showed himself his most vulnerable side.
Sometimes she could be unreasonable, but he always seemed to smile and tolerate it. He would chase her from City A to the Great Wall in the middle of the night.
He only wanted to explain to her what happened between him and Yu Caiyi, and that he brought her here because of something he said in his sleep...
He did all of this for himself, but he clearly didn't need to do it to himself.
He and she... were from completely different worlds...
She simply couldn't think of any merits she possessed.
Why would Jiang Yanhui treat her so "specially"?
