"Xiao Wei, do you really... have a girl you like?" Ruo Lan couldn't help asking after sending the Bai family away.
Jiang Wei replied calmly, "You should have already seen her."
"I've seen her?" Ruo Lan immediately recalled all the girls with good conditions in the capital in her mind.
"Our neighbor on Lugu Mountain." Jiang Wei reminded her.
Ruo Lan was stunned. Not because she didn't think about it, but because she was too impressed. She still remembered the child's name. At that time, she was with Jiang Wei every day, and she got acquainted with neighbors when she came out for a breather occasionally.
Mother Jiang was very envious of Zhi Ying's liveliness, not because of her personality, but because she saw a burst of vitality from her.
"Before... the girl at the gate of No. 1 High School?" Ruo Lan barely suppressed her surprise. If she remembered correctly, the girl became very tan when she grew up.
"Yeah."Jiang Wei seemed to reminisce about something, and a warm smile appeared on Jiang Wei's lips.
Ruo Lan looked at her son's rarely seen smile, and the other emotions in her heart dissipated. Although the girl was a bit dark, Xiao Wei liked her.
"She's in Quan City now?" Father Jiang still had a serious expression on his face, but his tone was very gentle.
"In the capital, Zhi Zhi came to accompany her grandfather." Jiang Wei answered after looking down at the phone.
Father Jiang nodded, "That's perfect, when will you invite her to come to our house to visit?
Ruo Lan seemed to think of something, "I remember that child's grandfather is Mr. Lin, right?"
"Which Mr. Lin?" Father Jiang asked in surprise.
"Which other Mr. Lin could it be?" Ruo Lan cast a glance at her husband.
Father Jiang suddenly realized, thought for a moment and suggested, "It's just right, why don't we visit Mr. Lin."
Mr. Lin had a high status in the capital. As a veteran of the scholarly and cultural circle, he was highly respected. Although the Jiang family's economic status in these past years was almost unrivaled, they still respected the scholarly families very much.
"Father, let me ask Zhi Zhi first." Jiang Wei did not immediately agree.
Father Jiang agreed. He was still a businessman after all, and changed the topic after a moment, "You started a company by yourself two years ago, how is it going?"
Jiang Wei was only eighteen years old this year, he was underage for the past two years, and the company was founded under Ruo Lan's name.
"It's okay." Jiang Wei wasn't thinking much about this matter. Zhi Ying had just sent him a message.
After casually discussing with his father, Jiang Wei found an excuse and went back to his room.
In fact, Zhi Ying was fine. She just wanted to consolidate the relationship between the two of them. The words that came out were also dry and meaningless.
Jiang Wei closed the door, looked at the phone and chuckled. Then he dialed it in a blink of an eye.
Zhi Ying, who was lying on the bed solving math problems, immediately sat up when she saw the caller ID, and answered the call with a serious face.
"Zhi Zhi." A clear and pleasant male voice came from the other end of the phone, with an unbearable sense of entanglement.
"Hello." Zhi Ying said very naturally.
Jiang Wei frowned, "Zhi Zhi? It's me."
"I know." Zhi Ying said seriously, "Do you know why I said 'you'?"
Jiang Wei mainly paid attention to finance and read about current events, so he didn't know much about the popularity of Internet slang, let alone local pick-up lines.
"I don't know." Jiang Wei answered honestly.
Zhi Ying smiled triumphantly, and said to the phone, "Because you are in my heart."
...After a moment of silence, Jiang Wei actually felt a hint of sweetness in his heart.
Zhi Ying saw that she couldn't see Jiang Wei's face, and now she couldn't even hear his voice, so she suddenly panicked. Could it be that she didn't speak well enough?
Fortunately, before Zhi Ying fully panicked, Jiang Wei responded, "Zhi Zhi is also in my heart."
Zhi Ying was very satisfied when she heard it, and felt that she had found the right direction. A word expressing love every day would make the two's love last forever.
Who knows whether it was taken for granted or what, Zhi Ying accepted the fact that she liked Jiang Wei very smoothly.
"Zhi Zhi, my parents want to see your grandfather the day after tomorrow." Jiang Wei informed her in advance, "Can we go out tomorrow?"
"But I want to do more problems." Zhi Ying touched her exercise book, and said in a coaxing tone, "Why don't you go out and play by yourself?"
"Then... I'll go find you and we can solve problems together?" Jiang Wei changed his arrangement in a timely manner.
Zhi Ying had wanted to take advantage of Jiang Wei going out to play to solve more problems, but as a result he also wanted to come. Wasn't that the same as making progress together? Although her grades currently had no room for improvement.
"I thought about it, and I think it's better to go out and play." Zhi Ying changed her mind.
Her attitude was so obvious that Jiang Wei could guess at least three points of her original intentions, but this just so happened to allow him some advantage.
"Okay."
...
The two made an appointment to meet outside, and Jiang Wei was waiting at the designated location early on. He stood there in a daze which caused the passer-bys to think he was some celebrity.
But Zhi Ying didn't pay much attention to it, she wrapped herself up into a ball and went out.
"You look... pretty good." Although Zhi Ying was dressed thickly, the tip of her nose was still red. This was the first thing she said when she ran over to see Jiang Wei.
Jiang Wei didn't mind being told that, and held Zhi Ying's hand after showing a shallow smile.
"Where are we going to play?" Zhi Ying was born with naturally cold hands and feet, but with Jiang Wei's poor health before, his hands were now always warm.
"Go to the amusement park." Jiang Wei had come up with a strategy last night, and finally finalized on going to the amusement park. He wanted to sit on the highest seat of the Ferris wheel with Zhi Ying, which is very vulgar but still romantic.
Zhi Ying was fine with anything, and she followed Jiang Wei joyfully. As long as the two of them don't go home to do problems together.
Even in winter, the amusement park was still packed full of people. Jiang Wei led Zhi Ying to line up, and there were parents and children from the front all the way to the back.
Zhi Ying wore a thick padded jacket with a small fur ball on the tip of the hat. A lone parent behind them was carrying a child and holding another in their hands, taking care of both hurriedly. The child in his arms was fascinated by the little fur ball on Zhi Ying's hat, and tried his best to stretch his soft body to reach for Zhi Ying's hat.
The line moved forward, and the father approached Zhi Ying with the child in his arms. This time the child finally managed to pinch the little fur ball on Zhi Ying's hat.
The child's hands were red, but he didn't seem to be cold at all. He pinched the fur ball and giggled.
Jiang Wei originally focused all his attention on Zhi Ying, and soon discovered what the child was doing. The child looked up and saw Jiang Wei.
"Puff, Buddha." The anomalies of the child and Jiang Wei caught the attention of the father and Zhi Ying.
Zhi Ying turned her head and saw a child that looked like a white dumpling pinching the tip of her hat. She was taken aback for a moment, then went to pinch the dumpling's face.
So soft!
"I'm sorry." The father quickly took the dumpling's hand and apologized. However, his eyes couldn't help but cast a glance at Jiang Wei beside her.
Jiang Wei had a handsome appearance and an isolated temperament. The little red mole between his eyebrows was just the finishing touch. It was just that his eyes were sharp, and at first glance, it could be seen that he was not an easy person to provoke.
"Buddha!" The small dumpling didn't cry after his hand was moved off, and his attention fell on Jiang Wei.
The father's forehead raised a black line and he grabbed the hand of his own child, "The Buddha is in the sky, this is... big brother."
"Guokuo?" The small dumpling looked at Jiang Wei, then turned to look at his father, and said softly and cutely, "Sipu Shaya~"
The father was also sweating profusely from the torture of his two children. He was finally able to take the place of his wife to accompany the children. Unexpectedly, he was already in a dilemma before the day even started.
Fortunately, it was their turn soon. Jiang Wei and Zhi Ying entered the amusement park, and the little dumpling's soft voice came from behind them.
"Did he say you look like Buddha?" Zhi Ying raised her head and asked Jiang Wei.
"What does Zhi Zhi think?" Jiang Wei asked back.
"I don't know." She couldn't see the human face clearly. When separately looking, a nose was a nose, eyes were eyes, but they couldn't be spelled together in her mind.
Jiang Wei smiled softly, grabbed Zhi Ying's fingertips and pressed it against the middle of his forehead, "It's just a mole."
Zhi Ying's heart started to beat fast again, and after touching Jiang Wei's skin, her fingertips even felt a little hot.
"I seem to like you more." Zhi Ying retracted her hand thoughtfully, "Now my heart is beating very fast."
"...Zhi Zhi." Jiang Wei lowered his eyes and frowned, and his heartbeat was not calm. Sometimes he would suspect that Zhi Ying did it on purpose to tease people's hearts. But upon seeing her serious eyes, he knew that Zhi Ying was just thinking and saying things out loud bluntly.
"Can liking someone add up?" Zhi Ying looked around and muttered.
Seeing that Zhi Ying's mind was attracted by the surrounding amusement facilities, Jiang Wei also restrained his emotions and led her around.
The haunted house has always been the most popular attraction to visit in the amusement park, and the two lined up to enter.
As soon as they entered, there were miserable green lights everywhere in the pitch black. From time to time, there were eerie noises.
As Jiang Wei walked, he noticed that Zhi Ying was clenching his hand even tighter, and was about to stop to comfort her.
"Don't be afraid, ghosts are fake." Zhi Ying said solemnly, her voice was upright amidst the howling, "As long as the party is in your heart, I am not afraid of anything."
Jiang Wei felt helpless and humored, and finally agreed, "Mhm, not afraid."
When they crossed the 'Naihe Bridge' (In the concept of Chinese folk mythology, it is the place where people must pass through for reincarnation), there was actually water and boats underneath. When stepping on it, there was shaking, everyone's hearts were lifted subconsciously.
"Don't be afraid, it's just a sound effect." Zhi Ying pulled Jiang Wei over and kept comforting him, "I'm here, and I won't let go of your hand."
"Okay." There was always light shining in Jiang Wei's eyes in the darkness.
Jiang Wei, who originally planned to take care of Zhi Ying for fun, was taken care of by Zhi Ying all day long. It didn't feel bad either, and the corners of Jiang Wei's lips curled up slightly.
"Zhi Zhi, let's go ride the Ferris wheel." Jiang Wei led Zhi Ying to the huge Ferris wheel.
Zhi Ying looked up at the Ferris wheel, and the math calculation problems she saw last night appeared in her mind, one of which involved a Ferris wheel.
She was very satisfied and followed Jiang Wei on the Ferris wheel.
"The Ferris wheel here is really tall, higher than the one in Quan City." Zhi Ying looked out through the glass.
"If Zhi Zhi likes this place, we can come again." In fact, Jiang Wei has never gone to the amusement park before.
Although Jiang Wei brought Zhi Ying here today, he was obviously not as familiar with the structure of the amusement park as Zhi Ying.
"No." She still has to hurry up and study.
It was going to take some time before the Ferris wheel turned to the top. They were tired after walking around in the amusement park all day, so they sat on the benches inside to rest.
Although the small space was closed and silent, it exuded a warm and tacit atmosphere.
Zhi Ying yawned a little. She was a little sleepy, so she rested her head on Jiang Wei's shoulder very naturally.
Probably because it was uncomfortable to lean on, Zhi Ying frowned and readjusted her position, but it was still uncomfortable.
Seeing this, Jiang Wei directly brought her into his arms. Now, Zhi Ying was comfortable, and rubbed Jiang Wei's chin comfortably.
The two people intertwined their fingers and sat with their necks against each other's. As the Ferris wheel got closer to the summit, the vibe inside got stickier.
Finally, when the Ferris wheel reached the top, Jiang Wei lowered his head to find Zhi Ying's lips, and gently covered them.
