Ji Yan helped him clean and prepare the ingredients, and she had no intention of staying, but Qi Yan naturally reached out his hand in her direction, "Cooking wine."

She was stunned for a moment and looked at him several times before handing him the cooking wine.

However, this was not the end of the matter. Qi Yan pointed his finger at her again: "Sugar."

Ji Yan: "..."

She had a stern face and handed the sugar over again. After he took it, she didn't give him another chance to ask for orders. She turned around and ran out of the kitchen, even slamming the kitchen door shut before leaving. Qi Yan raised his eyes and looked over, with a faint smile in his dark pupils.

Gu Heng only stayed for dinner and then went back next door. He specially took time out to come back to visit Ji Yan. He had to leave early the next morning and his schedule was tight, but this trip was worth it. Seeing the little girl recover her health and become more determined, he was sincerely happy for her.

...

Ji Yan still didn't like Qi Yan that much. She felt uncomfortable and was afraid that she would fall into depravity, so she acted cruelly enough.

Qi Yan endured her coldness, but his care and concern for her did not decrease in the slightest.

School was about to start, and Ji Yan also took some time away from God to prepare for the start of school.

Ye Shuning and Ji Chi Nian have not returned yet, and Qi Yan is still her guardian.

On the first day of school, Qi Yan personally drove her to school. She wanted to sit in the back seat, but he gently carried her to the front passenger seat. Ji Yan sighed and could only silently look at the god in front of her who fastened her seat belt.

During this period of time, she was not without being moved by his kindness, and in fact, it happened quite often.

But she still restrained her love and was too serious to accept it easily.

She has been unresponsive these days, and ordinary people might have complaints, but there is no impatience on Qi Yan's face. Every time Ji Yan is moved by this, she forces herself to think the worst. For example, life is long, he has plenty of time, so he naturally has the patience to play this kind of game to make the little girl happy. If she is easily coaxed away by him, she will be more or less unwilling to accept it, not to mention that there is no destined to be an equal relationship between them.

She turned her head and looked out the car window, thinking absentmindedly about everything about Qi Yan.

At this moment, the car suddenly hit something with a "bang", and even the airbag popped out. Ji Yan was shocked and stared at a figure being knocked away.

Qi Yan paused and checked Ji Yan's condition immediately.

The little girl's face turned pale, and she looked at him in panic: "Did you bump into someone?"

Qi Yan was very calm: "It's okay."

Ji Yan was puzzled, but after he said "It's okay", she also saw an incredible scene. The person who was knocked away by Qi Yan got up from the ground as if no one was around and walked towards them again.

Qi Yan got out of the car and closed the door. Rong Chun saw him and glanced at the human girl sitting in the car. His brows furrowed. She was pretty, but it was not worth it for him to do that.

He asked Qi Yan: "Have you thought it through? Human nature is greedy. Even if you give her everything, she may not be grateful."

Qi Yan said in a deep voice: "She is different."

Upon hearing this, Rong Chun hesitated to speak, and finally prepared for the worst in his heart.

He remained silent, and Qi Yan said, "Get in the car."

Rong Chun got into the car in silence. The girl in the passenger seat looked at him in surprise, but Rong Chun did not look kindly at her. She turned her head slightly. Ji Yan had no choice but to look at Qi Yan again. Qi Yan touched her head and said in a softer voice, "His name is Rong Chun, he is my colleague, and he came here to talk to me about something."

Ji Yan nodded. She was hit by a car but nothing happened to her. It was obvious that she was not an ordinary person.

But she couldn't help but remain silent. She didn't know him at all. The appearance of Rong Chun made her realize that they were from two different worlds. She couldn't help but feel insignificant. She felt that she was further away from Qi Yan. Could she really believe what he said about loving him and be with him?

Ji Yan felt confused.

The car stopped outside the school. Ji Yan got out of the car, and Qi Yan also got out of the car and sent her into the school.

When they arrived at the teaching building where classes were held, Ji Yan quietly distanced herself from him.

Seeing this, Qi Yan's eyes darkened slightly, but his tone remained the same: "Today at noon..."

The little girl answered first: "I had lunch in the school cafeteria at noon today."

Qi Yan paused and nodded: "Okay."

He had been restraining himself over and over again when he was with her these past few days. The little girl had complained about the injustice herself, so he would not unilaterally break that boundary until she was willing to get close to him.

He just watched her walk into the teaching building until she was out of sight, then he turned and left.

He returned to the school gate, and Rong Chun also got off the car. Qi Yan glanced at him indifferently and said coldly: "You can go back and prepare."

Rong Chun remained silent, but turned and left.

*

On the first day of junior year, the good news that Ji Yan could speak spread in the class group. She received a lot of care and congratulations from her classmates that day. At lunch, she went to the cafeteria with two girls in the class.

But when going downstairs, he accidentally twisted his ankle and fell down a few steps. Fortunately, the height was not too high and he only hit his knee and had some minor scratches on his arm. Overall, it was not serious.

Ji Yan only felt something was a little strange but didn't think much about it. Two classmates also sent her to the infirmary to apply medicine. Because this matter took up a lot of time, they ended up going to the cafeteria to eat very late.

Both girls were very nice and didn't mind, but Ji Yan still treated them to lunch as an apology.

Apart from this little incident, no other accidents occurred today.

In the evening, Qi Yan came to the school to pick up Ji Yan and saw that her knee was injured and she was limping. His eyes darkened a little. The little girl saw him staring at her wound and explained softly, "I accidentally twisted my ankle and fell. The wound has been treated. It's nothing serious."

Ji Yan didn't take it to heart, but when she raised her eyes inadvertently and noticed his slightly drooping gaze, she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. He seemed to be very concerned about this matter.

Qi Yan didn't say much, he just took her backpack and put it around his arm, then squatted down and showed her his back.

His voice was slightly hoarse: "Come up, Yanyan."

Ji Yan paused.

The shadow cast on the ground was as thick and broad as the back he exposed to her, giving her a sense of security. Her heart was beating so hard that she inevitably softened her heart. She no longer said words of rejection against her will, but simply leaned lightly on his back with her arms around his neck.

Qi Yan carried her steadily on his back. When Ji Yan looked down and saw his solemn brows, she suddenly felt deflated. She had been suppressing herself for some time, which was just asking for trouble and making herself unhappy. It was really petty to argue with him like this, and it was a thankless task.
