Accidentally provoking the spring tide

Chapter 15.015. Dazed
As soon as I pushed open the glass door, scorching white steam rushed out. The sink was empty and no one was there. The hair dryer was placed to the side, its coil dangling.

Ji Yanci narrowed his eyes slightly and stepped inside.

The next second, a fair arm wrapped around him from behind, and the woman's overly soft body pressed tightly against his back.

Ji Yanci lowered his eyes, glanced at the white bathrobe lying at his feet, and slowly raised his hand.

Upon seeing this, He Yongwen's eyes flashed with anticipation.

She had been following Ji Yanci for almost two months, but the two had not yet crossed the final line.

There's only so much between men and women, and He Yongwen, who has worked her way up in the entertainment industry, understands this principle all too well.

Her agent always advised her that if she could use her body to gain benefits and a better future, there was nothing wrong with that. People should be more realistic; being too idealistic would only lead to starvation.

He Yongwen wasn't the rigid type; she was just unwilling to accept that she, at such a young age, should be forced to marry those greasy old men who could be her father.

Until he met Ji Yanci.

The moment He Yongwen saw him, she was absolutely certain that a wealthy and handsome man like him was the one she wanted to choose.

Feeling the other person's palm press against the back of her hand, He Yongwen bit her lip and was about to take it a step further when she found that the man had used a clever trick to easily break free from her embrace.

Ji Yanci turned around, his gaze sweeping over her indifferently.

Without any scrutiny or examination, it drifted by like a feather, without lingering at all.

He Yongwen inexplicably felt a sense of frustration and shame.

The man said nothing, stepped over the bathrobe on the floor, and walked out.

He Yongwen was extremely flustered and hurriedly called out to him, her voice trembling with sobs: "A-Ci, I'm sorry! I just love you too much, and I'm afraid you won't want me anymore."

She heard the man let out a faint sigh.

He Yongwen pursed her lips, bent down to pick up the bathrobe from the ground, and half-covered herself in front of it. She lowered her head, and her messy, wet hair fell over her shoulders, covering most of her face.

Ji Yanci turned around and just caught a glimpse of the girl's half-profile. Through the hazy mist, the dejected figure with her head down gradually overlapped with a fragment of her memory.

For a moment, the man was dazed, his thin lips slightly parted.

"Qingqing..."

Taking advantage of Ji Yanci's momentary daze, He Yongwen took a few steps forward, stood on tiptoe, and kissed the man's lips.

A strong, ambiguous atmosphere flowed quietly in the humid environment, eventually turning into a trickle that overflowed unchecked.

Lin Feng squatted in the corner, scrolling through his phone listlessly, but he couldn't help thinking about the engagement banquet that Jiang and Ji's families hadn't been able to hold today.

He happened to see people in a large group talking about this, so he secretly peeked at the chat.

[This is hilarious! This is the most outrageous engagement party I've ever attended; the bride and groom didn't even show up!]

It's normal that Brother Ji isn't coming, but it's a bit strange that Jiang Jixu isn't here.

[What's so strange about that? They're just afraid of losing face. Knowing Brother Ji wouldn't come, they're just throwing caution to the wind and desperately trying to save face.]

Lin Feng glanced at the comment and curled his lip in disdain.

If Jiang Jixu were afraid of losing face, would he still have this engagement banquet?
He had been by Ji Yanci's side the longest, and he had personally witnessed how Jiang Jixu had chased after Ji Yanci since childhood.

Putting everything else aside, just take her university years as an example. To everyone's surprise, Ji Yanci chose to study abroad.

Once, he suddenly posted on his WeChat Moments that he wanted to eat durian pastries from Dian Rongxing's shop. Everyone commented and joked that they would buy all the durian pastries and treat everyone when he came back.

Only Jiang Jixu queued up overnight to buy some snacks and flew to Ji Yanci's place.

Ji Yanci told them about this later when they were playing Truth or Dare at a party.

Tea has something to say: Ji Xu simply loves one person wholeheartedly. Her love is not wrong; it's just that the person she loves is wrong.
