Shi Jiu put his hands around his chest and lazily leaned against the door wall. He was wearing the black narrow long coat he had just bought yesterday, which was tightly pressed against his chest and abdomen, showing off his muscular and slender figure.
For some reason, as soon as she saw that piece of clothing, Jin Xiaoji naturally thought of the scene in the dressing room yesterday, and her ears turned red, almost afraid to look at him again.
But just as Jin Xiaoji was lost in thought, Shi Jiu suddenly got up and walked over. The rustling sound of footsteps came slowly, giving her a strange illusion of being prey.
The fact proves that her premonition was right. Shi Jiu was indeed staring at her all the time, his black eyes shining like wolves, with an inexplicable smile on his face. His gaze turned around him three times, and finally landed on the hand she was holding with Mu Dongyang. Suddenly, he let out a cold snort and slowly brushed past them.
As soon as Shi Jiu left, Bohe immediately returned. She didn't care if anyone would hear her, so she couldn't help but start complaining, "The person I was talking about is him. I didn't expect your parents to invite his family too. You know their family is on the same side as mine
The guest was invited by my parents. I didn't ask who they invited, but I don't think Shi Jiu would cause any trouble
Holding Jin Xiaoji's hand tightly for a moment, Mu Dongyang calmly looked behind. After leaving, Shi Jiu walked straight to the seaside where a boat was moored. He quickly got on the boat and headed towards the seaside.
It's already November, and the weather is already a bit cold, not to mention the sea. After the ship came to a stop, Shi Jiu walked back onto the deck. He seemed to glance towards this side from a distance, and then unexpectedly, he jumped down with people and clothes.
This lunatic!
Shi Jiu's crazy actions made everyone present shiver, and among them, Jin Xiaoji had the best eyesight. She saw Shi Jiu diving into the water like an tireless fish, and then struggling to come out, so repeatedly, it didn't look like swimming at all, but rather seemed to be venting her frustration.
What's wrong with him? "Little Ji couldn't help but furrow her brow, puzzled by his behavior.
It has to be said that when Shi Jiu suddenly appeared in front of her just now, she was a bit nervous, but he left without saying a word. However, she felt that there was something in her heart that had not been released.
This guy is just that kind of person, he's full of sarcasm. Don't pay attention to him
Bohe spoke almost at the same time, she shuddered exaggeratedly, and then eagerly opened the door, "Let's go in quickly. I can't wait to see your parents. Xiaoji and Dongyang are leaving, and we'll take action later
The door inside the house leads to the lobby, which is surprisingly large and decorated with a festive atmosphere. I don't know what special day it is today, but there are actually many guests coming. Everyone's attire is extremely formal, as if a large gathering is about to be held here.
As soon as she saw those flowers and wine, Xiaoji immediately thought of something. She wanted to confirm her guess with Mu Dongyang, but when she turned around, she found him looking at the door with a mysterious expression. She knew that the door had been closed by the servant later and slowly turned around.
Mu Dongyang, Mu Dongyang
After calling out twice in a row, Mu Dongyang heard it, but as soon as he turned around, his face was already full of good intentions: "What's up? I was a little distracted just now
Jin Xiaoji originally wanted to ask him if he was looking at Shi Jiu just now, but for some reason, the pair of eyes that instantly became gentle and indulgent towards him turned into something else when the words were spoken.
It's nothing, I just wanted to ask if today is your birthday
The sentence 'Birthday?' made Mu Dongyang's eyes light up. He didn't immediately answer Jin Xiaoji's question, but instead smiled and asked her, 'How did you know?'
You can see for yourself. Your house has been decorated like this, even cakes and champagne are on the table. Even if I don't want to know, it's difficult
She just said how could there be an inexplicable extra party, but as long as she is willing to think deeply, it should not be difficult for her to guess the reason behind it. However, the main reason is that there have been too many troubles lately, which have made her neglect some details.
Regretting her negligence and feeling guilty about today's situation, Xiaoji showed a rare apology and said, "Happy birthday, but I didn't bring you a gift. How about I go and make up for it for you now? Please wait a little, I won't be back in much time
Go now, she should be able to come back before noon, but the prerequisite is that there is a car to take her out. This is a very remote suburb, and apart from private cars, other modes of transportation are rarely seen. However, to express my apologies, it is appropriate to go back.
Hehe, no need, your words are enough, "Mu Dongyang laughed incessantly, but stopped Xiao Ji as soon as she touched the doorknob." It's good that you can come, and besides, I already have this
Mu Dongyang stood in front of him and, under the gaze of Jin Xiaoji, slowly pulled out the wooden necklace from his chest. Two identical wooden pendants collided and made a soft bang sound.
This thing is more precious than all the birthday gifts today
Mu Dongyang's voice was very soft, like whispering in her ear, but every word he said was clearly transmitted to Xiao Ji's ears, making her chest tighten and almost forgetting to breathe.
As long as you like it, to be honest, you're still losing out on this. This thing was made by my father, and wooden things are not worth much
What I value is not money. I like you, so anything you give me, even if it's scrap metal in others' eyes, is still precious in my heart
Baby, it has always been her parents who call herself that. Now, when she suddenly heard Mu Dongyang speaking to her in this tone, Xiaoji's chest suddenly swelled up, and an indescribable feeling was almost about to erupt.
But just then, several guests suddenly came in from the lobby. When they came in, they all looked curiously towards this side, and several glances fell on the two people standing in the hall. But because Mu Dongyang was facing away from the door, and Jin Xiaoji had been keeping her head down, no one could see anything for a while.
I feel like they have suddenly become the focus, even though Xiaoji is calm and composed, she is still a bit nervous at this moment. He lowered his head and wanted to turn his back to the door like Mu Dongyang, but then he moved his steps and suddenly hit himself on the shoulder with both hands.
Let's keep this still. These people should have been invited by Bohe's mother. Let's see what they already know
Although he couldn't see by the door, Mu Dongyang knew clearly who the person was coming. With a slight force on Xiao Ji's shoulder, he gently led her towards the spiral staircase on the second floor.
I understand that they are acting, but whenever I think of Mu Dongyang's confession just now, Jin Xiaoji always feels a little uncomfortable and her body is a bit tense.
But Mu Dongyang has always been casual and calm. He seems to have become accustomed to being watched by others, with elegant and confident gestures. He has been walking in the direction closer to the door, so he has been blocking those prying eyes with a hint of presence or absence, gradually calming her down as well.
This spiral staircase is also modeled after European style, with white railings, red carpets, and two people walking across from each other, giving a fairy tale like aristocratic feeling.
After walking up the spiral staircase, Mu Dongyang gradually changed from half resting on Xiao Ji's shoulder to asking her to hold her hand. The two of them walked side by side, very close to each other. Little Ji could almost feel the faint scent emanating from him, very warm and memorable.
At this moment, Jin Xiaoji suddenly felt a very peaceful feeling, which was completely different from her heart, like a good friend she had known for many years, or a close family member. In short, the feeling that Mu Dongyang gave her was really natural, so natural that she didn't want to reject him at all.
With this idea in mind, the two finally walked up to the second floor, and at the top of the stairs was a row of exquisitely decorated arches. Walking between the arches, the figures of the two were once again exposed to everyone's sight. With the advantage of geography, Xiaoji curiously looked down for the first time, but it was at this glance that she immediately met a pair of gloomy and cold eyes.
