Xia Jinqi thought of Yan Jun's warning. She had originally planned to go back on her own, but Yan Qing had invited her again and again, so she couldn't refuse.
Halfway there, both of them were hungry. They happened to pass by their Alma Mater, so they drove to look for food.
There was a street behind the school's residential area, which was filled with food stalls.
The students who came and went were all students from this school district. Some had just finished their self-study, and some had just returned from outside... ...
Xia Jinqi picked a dumpling stall that she used to frequent and sat opposite Yan Qing at a simple fast-food table.
In front of her were two plates of steaming hot dumplings, and beside them was a noisy and bustling street.
Such an atmosphere could easily evoke memories of the past.
Xia Jinqi ate a dumpling in one bite and let out a long sigh of satisfaction. "Even the taste is exactly the same as before. It hasn't changed at all! "
In front of Yan Qing, she never had to hide anything. She only cared about being her truest self.
"It's been a long time since I've been here. Not to mention, I really miss this taste! " Yan Qing ate a few in a row, and the smile on his lips was sincere from the bottom of his heart.
Separated from the world of the Yan family, he was actually a very pure person.
Xia Jinqi quickly finished a large plate, and even the bottom of her eyes were tinged with a hint of contentment.
After she was 70% full, she put down her chopsticks and looked at Yan Qing apologetically. "I'm really sorry about what happened tonight. I also didn't expect that my mother would insist on calling you over... "
"when did we become so distant? " Yan Qing seemed to be a little dissatisfied. He frowned slightly and looked solemnly at Xia Jinqi. "Xiao Qi, do you still remember what I said? Even if you marry into the Yan family, our relationship will not change. "
Indeed, if it was in the past, Xia Jinqi would definitely not thank Yan Qing.
But now... ... It was finally a little different ...
Xia Jinqi was silent. In her mind, she only thought of what Yan Jun had said, telling her to stay away from Yan Qing. He did not like to see the two of them together.
Yan Qing waited for a while, but did not receive an answer from Xia Jinqi. He sighed softly and said with incomparable sadness, "it's been four years. Just because of a superficial marriage, you want to draw a line between us. Xiao Qi, isn't this too unfair to me? "
Perhaps it was the plate of dumplings in front of her that reminded her of the past, or perhaps it was the current Yan Qing who looked really too sad. Xia Jinqi's heart was stabbed with pain.
Yes, in her heart, Yan Qing was just like Wen Jing and the others, they were all her friends.
Four years of friendship, if it was just because of a marriage, wouldn't it be too heartbreaking?
Seeing that Xia Jinqi was also struggling in her heart, Yan Qing struck while the iron was hot. "when we were in the Yan family, you called me uncle, but outside, you still called me Yan Qing, okay? "
"This... " Xia Jinqi hesitated for a moment and finally agreed. "Okay. "
After getting a positive answer from Xia Jinqi, Yan Qing smiled again and said happily, "this is my little Qi! "
Xia Jinqi also smiled. Perhaps she shouldn't have minded this identity so much from the beginning.
As for the expectations she had for Yan Qing, she thought, let it go with the wind.
From now on, they would only be friends.
This was also good.
When the dumplings were almost done, Yan Qing got up to take a call. When he came back, he said to Xia Jinqi with a difficult expression, "my mom has something to ask me, I have to go back. Little Qi, you can go back by yourself, right? "
"Oh, then you go quickly! I can go back by myself! " Xia Jinqi saw that he didn't look too good and thought that something important must have happened, so she hurriedly said.
