Doubts flashed through Feng Jin's heart. He squatted down and brought himself close to Ji Wan, who was lying on the sofa.

Ji Wan's eyes fell on Feng Jin's face for a moment, and then quickly looked away.

Feng Jin frowned and tried to touch Ji Wan's face again, but was avoided by Ji Wan again.

Once might be a coincidence, but twice is definitely not.

Ji Wan had never treated a letter so coldly. His hand stopped in mid-air, stiff for a moment.

Feng Jin tried his best to calm down and coax: "What's wrong? Are you in a bad mood?"

Ji Wan said nothing.

Feng Jin then continued: "Is there someone bullying you outside? I'll go check it out."

Ji Wan didn't want to implicate anyone else, so she finally said, "No."

"Really not? Then why is it happening suddenly?" Feng Jin asked inquiringly.

Ji Wan was silent. He lowered his eyes to prevent himself from seeing Feng Jin's face clearly.

Feng Jin stared at Ji Wan for a long time, then leaned over and wanted to kiss Ji Wan.This time Ji Wan stretched out her hand and directly blocked his face.

"...I have a cold. I don't feel well because I haven't slept enough. Please don't make trouble with me these days."

cold?

Feng Jin was a little skeptical, but he still stood up and went to the kitchen to cook a bowl of ginger syrup for Ji Wan to dispel the cold.

Ji Wan lay down for a while, then got up and went to the kitchen, trying to stop Feng Jin's movements: "You go and have a rest. You don't need to help me. I will get what I want to drink myself."

The water that has not yet been boiled hums in the pot, and the smell of ginger wafts in the kitchen.Ji Wan tried to pick up the knife, but before his fingertips even touched the handle, Feng Jin pulled him from behind and pushed him out of the kitchen with a clever move.

Feng Jin locked the sliding door of the kitchen. After Ji Wan lingered outside for a while, he resigned himself to his fate and sat back on the sofa.

Not long after, Feng Jin boiled the ginger syrup, put it in a cup and sent it to him: "Drink it while it's hot."

"Thank you." Ji Wan apologized politely. He took the cup without touching Feng Jin's fingers at all.

Feng Jin narrowed his eyes, leaned down, and quickly pressed Ji Wan's shoulders before Ji Wan could escape: "Why are you being polite to me?"

Ji Wan said nothing and held the cup tightly.Feng Jin didn't do anything. He let him go and let him drink the ginger syrup first.

After Ji Wan finished drinking, Feng Jin asked, "Does it taste good?"

In fact, it tastes good. Feng Jin knows his taste well, and the sweetness is just right. Even if he doesn't like the taste too much, he can accept it.The temperature is also slightly hot but it can be eaten without burning him.

He used to think that this meticulousness was out of love for him, but now Ji Wan discovered that it might be for other unspeakable purposes.

"...delicious." Ji Wan said softly.

"I don't believe it unless you let me try it." Feng Jin said, fixing Ji Wan's chin with one hand, lifting Ji Wan's head slightly and leaning down.

This time, he finally got what he wanted and kissed those soft lips, tasting the remaining sweetness.

It was obviously an action that happened between them every day, but it suddenly seemed strange at this moment.Ji Wan was kissed for a moment, then stretched out her hand to push Feng Jin away.

Feng Jin took the opportunity to sit down next to Ji Wan: "Tell me, what's the trouble?"

Ji Wan was silent for a moment, then tentatively spoke: "I don't think you fell in love with me during that summer vacation at all."

Ji Wan had been paying attention to Feng Jin's expression, so she also noticed that Feng Jin's expression was temporarily stiff.

Ji Wan just pretended not to notice and continued: "When I confessed to you, you were just friends with me. I just felt that after being friends for so many years, I didn't want to just cut off contact, so I just agreed, right? What should I do? Come to think of it, I didn’t find any hints you had to me before that.”

Feng Jin's expression relaxed unnoticeably, and he laughed: "Why are you suddenly obsessed with this?"

"I'm not happy that you lied to me." Ji Wan said softly.

"It's not a contradiction," Feng Jin hugged Ji Wan, "I have never been attracted to anyone else. At that time, I didn't even understand what that feeling was. Of course, I wouldn't give you any hints until you confessed your love to me. Only then did I understand.”

Ji Wan put her head on Feng Jin's shoulder and closed her eyes.

Until now, Feng Jin still refused to reveal anything or tell the truth to him.

If he didn't know the truth and just listened to Feng Jin's words, he would think there was nothing wrong with it.

But Feng Jin said that he started to like him during the summer after graduating from high school. However, according to Feng Jin's mother's description, Feng Jin had already had that plan as early as the summer when he first went to live with Feng's family. .seven

The one who treated him as a tool was just for a better plan to take his career to the next level.

He could question Feng Jin directly, but so what, Feng Jin could find other reasons to deceive him, such as doing it so that he could stay more at ease and not be embarrassed.

However, if he simply wanted to make him feel at ease and comfortable at that time, there was no need for Feng Jin to hide it now.Isn't this a normal and loving thing to do to care about your friends?

It's like a bucket of cold water being poured down on your head, taking away all the heat.

Ji Wan didn't say much after that. When he went to bed at night, he took out another quilt and refused to sleep with Feng Jin's big quilt.

Feng Jin was not stupid, how could he not notice Ji Wan's coldness, but no matter how he asked, Ji Wan just answered him with "tired".

Feng Jin tried to hug Ji Wan: "Do you want to take a day off tomorrow? Your health is the most important thing, don't tire yourself out."

Ji Wan took Feng Jin's hand off her waist, turned her back to Feng Jin and wrapped the quilt tightly, saying calmly: "If you don't ask for leave, don't hug me. Holding me will make it easier to sleep unsteadily, that's why I'm so tired. .”

After Ji Wan finished speaking, Feng Jin, who was behind him, did not touch him again. Ji Wan frowned and his consciousness fluctuated, making him sleep uneasy.

I don't know how long it took, but Ji Wan finally fell into a light sleep.

It was already late at night, but Feng Jin still had his eyes open.

He tried again to gently put his hand on Ji Wan's waist. This time, Ji Wan, who was already asleep, did not chase him away.

Not only did she not drive him away, Ji Wan made a few unconscious hums and leaned back automatically, leaning into Feng Jin's arms.

After placing herself firmly in Feng Jin's arms, Ji Wan felt relieved, relaxed her frown, and continued to sleep peacefully.

Feng Jin didn't dare to move, for fear that if he woke up Ji Wan, Ji Wan would distance himself from him again.

Now that he was so close, he could smell the faint scent of shower gel left on Ji Wan's body after taking a bath, but it was only the scent of shower gel.

Ji Wan has been busy recently, and he is reluctant to drag Ji Wan to have some kind of communication in the middle of the night without letting Ji Wan sleep, so now Ji Wan no longer has the scent of his pheromones.

Ji Wan looked clean, as if she had never belonged to him.

Feng Jin originally wanted to tell Ji Wan today that the project he was researching has made a major breakthrough. If it goes well, it may be officially put into production and launched soon. It will definitely cause a storm by then, and he also has the preliminary capital to fight against his father.

Even if his father objects to the two of them being together, he can still give Ji Wan a stable enough future.

But now, the future seems suddenly unpredictable.

Feng Jin suppressed the panic in his heart, and planned to investigate what happened around Ji Wan the next day, and whether someone was talking nonsense to Ji Wan and inciting feelings between Ji Wan and him.

It will be fine.

Feng Jin stared at Ji Wan for a long time, letting time pass by.

-----

Ji Wan woke up the next day, got out of bed, washed and changed clothes, and was about to leave.

After hearing the noise, Feng Jin strode out of the kitchen with fried eggs in his hand: "I made breakfast. Let's eat breakfast together before leaving?"

Ji Wan took a deep breath and tried to speak in a normal tone: "I don't want to eat. I have to rush over and write a report."

Feng Jin was holding a plate, and the golden omelette for two on it was still exuding a tempting aroma. He stood there blankly, looking a little helpless.

This man should have been making waves outside, stirring up trouble in the city and remaining unmoved, instead of washing his hands and making soup here.

This should have been an extremely considerate gesture, but now, Ji Wan couldn't even tell how sincere it was.

Was this Feng Jin deliberately pretending to prevent him from leaving?

Is there really anyone who can pretend for several years?

Ji Wan tried to calm herself down: "I have something to tell you in a few days. You've been very busy recently, but I hope you'll be free then."

"Is there anything we can't talk about now?" Feng Jin asked.

"No, I need a few days to think about it." Ji Wan refused.

Feng Jin was silent for a moment, then reluctantly raised the corner of his mouth and smiled: "Okay, when?"

"Three days." Ji Wan looked at the leaves blown away by the wind outside the window, "Three days are enough for me to figure out a lot of things."

----

Feng Jin naturally agreed to Ji Wan's request.Ji Wan also tried to clear his mind and think about what to do next.

After calming down from the shock when he just learned the news, he didn't want to be impulsive or compromise.

He and Feng Jin have known each other for so many years and are almost inseparable. Now he just wants to make an objective evaluation of this relationship.

During the time they were together, Feng Jin was good enough to him and showed no signs of falling in love with anyone else. Everything was fine. If there was something wrong, maybe... Feng Jin's feelings for him were not... Love is just a disguise.

And that completely false, beginning with deception.

The phone dinged and a message was received.Ji Wan took it out and saw that it was a message from Feng Jin.

[The weather will start to get cooler tonight, so remember to put on an extra layer of clothing. 】

Ji Wan subconsciously typed the word "um", then deleted it, and finally didn't reply with anything.

----

In the past three days, Feng Jin certainly couldn't sit still and wait for death. He frantically searched for any reasons that might cause Ji Wan's change of attitude, but unfortunately, he couldn't find anything.

Ji Wan is carrying the pendant he gave him, but once he enters the hospital, in order to prevent the contents of the pendant from conflicting with the equipment in the hospital, Ji Wan will take off the pendant when he goes to the hospital and wait until he walks out of the hospital. Will put it back on.

According to records, Ji Wan's heartbeat was normal while she was wearing the pendant.

What went wrong?

After the first day, Ji Wan's attitude seemed to have softened, but whenever he wanted to get closer, hold Ji Wan's hand, or hug Ji Wan, Ji Wan would avoid it. Talk about other more intimate actions.

Three days passed by in a flash, and it was the night of Ji Wan's appointment with Feng Jin.

"Ji Wan, would you like to have dinner with us tonight?" Before leaving the hospital, a doctor asked.

Ji Wan smiled: "No, I'm sorry, I have something very important tonight."

"How important is it? Are you going back secretly to get married?" the old doctor joked.

"You are joking," Ji Wan lowered her eyes, "I have no one... to marry."
