Spring Breeze No. 1 (046) The Prime of Life

  The car drove very smoothly, and Ji Jiangying's two hands grasped the steering wheel with a serious expression. His thin lips were pursed, even a bit stern, probably similar to his appearance in the office.

  He glanced sideways at her, very quietly, thinking she had really fallen asleep.

  But then she hummed a tune in a low voice, the melody coming from her mouth was very clear and smooth, yet with rounded enunciation.

  "...can't return to the original youth, love and hate are just a thought apart, life is like the first glance of an instant, willing to put down the bitter struggle. Can't wait for the blooming years, thoughts have already flown away to the ends of the earth, deeply engraved in my heart, exhausted from longing, can't hold on and can't let go..."

  Gu Shallow Cong suddenly opened her eyes, and under the shining sunlight, there was a circle of bright light on her eyelashes. As soon as she opened her eyes, it dispersed instantly.

  Ji Jiang's eyes narrowed unconsciously, as if he had been dazzled for a moment.

  Gu Shallow looked at him quietly, this man was the one Gu Shallow liked. Originally she was still uncertain, but after seeing Gu Shallow's diary, everything became clear. In her diary, there was a passage that read: "Can't understand, went to look it up, turned out to be song lyrics, called 'The First Years of Youth', which was the last entry in Gu Shallow's diary for the rest of her life. If her life were a little longer, would she have given up knowing she couldn't get him?

  Sighed at the fallen flowers, but she couldn't wait for that day.

  Turning his head and closing his eyes again, the carriage fell silent once more.

  These days are hot and fiery, Gu Shallow Cong has nothing to do but stay in her room reading the diary she wrote, as well as many other things that have been suppressed.

  Finally understood a bit, why in her heart's grid, the two brothers of the Ji family occupy such a large share.

  In fact, her encounter with Ji Jiangying was very beautiful, but she thought that Ji Jiangying must have already forgotten.

  It was raining heavily on the streets of America, and Gu Shallowing got lost. She couldn't even remember the name of her hotel. As she wandered in the rain, a sudden umbrella appeared above her head, and when she turned around, she saw Ji Jiangying.

  Through the layers of rain and fog, his forehead hair was scattered, narrow and long eyes were slightly closed, pear blossoms with rain, full of charm, a glance could make people's hearts drift away.

  Ji Jiang saw that she was Chinese and directly asked her in Mandarin: "Do you need help?"

  Guo Qian Ning said: "I couldn't find a hotel to stay in."

  Ji Jiangying simply asked about the hotel's environment and once she confirmed which one it was, he directly sent her over.

  In a foreign land, I met the elegant and refined Qi Jiangying, and couldn't help but fall in love.

  Until he drove away, she still stood in front of the hotel for a long time. According to Gu Qian Ning's description, the rain that day was really too big, pouring down from the sky like a scoop, nothing could be seen clearly, but she still stood stupidly for a long time.

  That was her most beautiful age, only seventeen years old, met the best Ji Jiangying, blooming in her floral age, from then on deeply trapped, with no turning back.

  Who would have known, life is not just like the first glance.

  Never saw him again, although in the same city, but didn't know each other. Qi Jiangying was living abroad for most of her life before she turned 24. Later even after returning to China, she didn't stay for long. There was no chance of running into each other.

  Later her life became miserable, Mr. Gu's beastly nature was unleashed, and he pounced on her like a wolf. After she refused him, even her living expenses were cut off.

  The living expenses received every month are meager, and I don't dare live at home, so I have to come out and find a place to rent.

  When I was at a dead end, I met Ji Jiangran, the elegant and refined second son of the Ji family. That day in the bar, it was my first time seeing him up close, and he looked even more handsome than on magazines and TV. His sharp facial features, especially those eyes, had taken on a subtle flush from drinking, his eyelashes were very long, and the outer corners of his eyes slightly curled upwards, making him look like he was smiling even when he wasn't, as if drunk but not quite.

  When he reached out to her, she was also drunk. It wasn't until the pain hit that she came back to herself. She cried hard for the first time, and perhaps Season Two thought it was terrible, so he left after just one time.

  She stared at the bloodstain spreading on the sheet, curled up at the head of the bed and cried uncontrollably. The physical pain had not dissipated, but it was far less than what was in her heart.

  After that, her underground relationship with Ji Jiangran unfolded. Unexpectedly, Season Two still found his way to her door. She needed a backing, which would allow her to survive, and those were things Ji Jiangran could provide for her. Moreover, he could keep her in the shadows, where she originally didn't want to be seen anyway.

  Gu Shallow Cong shrunk in the chair with a little heartache, she knew it wasn't her heart that was aching, she didn't have a heart to begin with. It was just that Gu Shallow Cong loved too deeply, even after death, there were still lingering feelings.

  She put her hand on it and felt sad.

  She gave everything to Ji Jiangran, but in her heart, she reserved a complete part for another person. She abandoned her life, but still held on to her faith, it's probably the same reason.

  Gu Shallow opened her eyes, leaned forward and wrapped her arms around Ji Jiangying's neck, regardless of whether he was driving or not, and kissed the corner of his lips.

  In her diary, Gu Shallow said she had always wanted to feel the temperature of Ji Jiangying's lips, but never had the courage.

  She wanted to tell her that this man was without temperature, and even his lips were cool.

  Ji Jiang's eyes suddenly became deep and solemn, staring at her sudden movement. Before she could let go, he had already pulled the car over to the side of the road and stopped it. He reached out and pulled her into his arms, kissing her fiercely. His hands cupped her face, giving her a solid and lingering kiss.

  It came with a ferocious momentum, as if it was going to swallow her whole.

  Gu Shallow Cong left his arms, reminding him: "Seasonal young master, getting involved with a woman of easy virtue will get you into trouble." The jacket on his body slipped down, and he pulled it back to return it to him. He opened the car door and got out.

  Ji Jiangying watched as she hailed a taxi, he rolled down all the windows and lit a cigarette. His phone kept ringing, he was somewhat dazed and had actually forgotten to answer it.

  Anzi hasn't gone to work for several days, as a new bride-to-be there are just too many things to prepare. Fortunately she had made preparations earlier, when Antong went to negotiate with Mr. Gu, she had already arranged the wedding dress matters. So it can be received before the wedding.

  They sent her a few photos from abroad to see the effect, and after being satisfied visually, they still need to fly over to try it on. If something doesn't fit properly, they can modify it before the wedding.

  Those trivial things about printing wedding invitations can be handled by family members, but the wedding photos have not been taken yet. I haven't gone to the company for several days and called Ji Jiangying, but no one answered the phone.

  Her mother comforted her: "The wedding photos are not urgent, you and your husband will be very busy, it's okay to take them after the wedding."

  Anzi analyzes the details carefully.

  "But we should put up a photo in our new home, otherwise it would look weird when friends come over."

  Her mother noticed that she had been in a good mood these past few days, and jokingly said to her: "If you're so particular about these things, then just PS one yourself, it's not like you haven't learned how. Now that everyone is married, why bother with such trivial matters? If you're going to be so particular, shouldn't you also think the engagement was too rushed?"

  "Mom, you're being unreasonable, I won't talk to you anymore."
