no crossing the line

When Ji Jinglian came out with a basin of warm water, Jian Qin had already pulled the blanket to cover her thighs.But even so, her face was still flushed.

Jian Qin also didn't quite understand why it would be particularly uncomfortable for him to expose too many body parts in front of Ji Jinglian.If it was because they were not familiar with each other before, then the two of them are considered friends now.In front of Li Huanhuan, she never cared about showing her body, but she felt extremely shy when facing Ji Jinglian.

Is it a kind of inferiority complex to be ashamed to show oneself in front of the same sex?

While analyzing her state of mind, Jian Qin peeked at Ji Jinglian.

"Soak in warm water first, and I'll give you a massage later."

"Ah?" Jian Qin turned pale with shock, "You, you, what are you going to help me with?"

"Lift your feet," Ji Jinglian repeated lightly while placing the water basin under Jian Qin's feet, "massage, edema can be relieved by massage. Don't worry, you don't need many professional skills to help you speed up blood circulation. enough."

She is not worried about this!

"No, no, I'll just lie down for a while, or I can massage myself, let you help me... How embarrassing."

Although it can be seen from the fact that Ji Jinglian has a very strong sense of responsibility from taking care of her while sleeping on the couch when she is sick, Jian Qin is still stunned by the other party's proposal at this time.

Ji Jinglian is not her mother, nor her lover, the fact of pinching her legs is too intimate.

"Why are you embarrassed? I thought it was our consensus to take good care of you."

At first glance, Ji Jinglian gives people a very cold and alienated feeling, but after getting in touch with Jian Qin, she has already felt that she doesn't seem to be very good at grasping the boundaries of intimacy.

Later, after learning about Ji Jinglian's growth experience from Aunt Zhang and Qu Huayu, Jian Qin gradually began to understand why Ji Jinglian seemed so bad at getting along with others.

"But massage my legs...you don't have to do this."

"What kind of state is this?" Ji Jinglian looked at Jian Qin with a serious face and said, "Compared to being pregnant, I feel that what I have done is very insignificant."

Rather, no matter what she did, she couldn't compensate Jian Qin.

In the end, Jian Qin didn't hold back Ji Jinglian, and she gave her a massage after soaking her feet.Although it is inevitable to feel some shame, it is undeniable that doing so does relieve the discomfort of edema.

"This kind of force won't hurt, will it?"

Ji Jinglian was sitting by the bed, Jian Qin's calf rested on her thigh, and Ji Jinglian's white and slender palms were gently stroking her slightly swollen ankles.

"No, no..."

Jian Qin's face was hot, and she felt that she must be blushing to the point of bleeding. She really never dreamed that someone like Ji Jinglian would massage her legs—even Jing Xi had never done it for him.

Ah, really? Crazy, why does she keep comparing Erica with Jing Xi?

Jian Qin couldn't help but think of Liu Mei's words, and her ambiguous expression, still feeling a little weird.

"You said you're going to meet your friends. When is it?" Just as Jian Qin was thinking wildly, Ji Jinglian suddenly said, "According to your situation, it's best to rest for two days."

Talking can distract attention, and Jian Qin just took advantage of the slope to get off the donkey, so as not to spread the embarrassing atmosphere further.

"I'll visit her the day after tomorrow, and she should be fine then."

The person Jian Qin is going to visit is naturally Zheng Xuanxuan. It has only been a few days since the last meeting, but the two have chatted a lot on WeChat.

Both of them have time, are familiar with each other but don't have much intersection, and each has experienced major changes, so it is reasonable to be able to chat.

Jian Qin learned about her experience from Zheng Xuanxuan, and when she thought of her own situation, she couldn't help feeling sorry for her, so she very much hoped that she could become a part of Zheng Xuanxuan's strength.The day after tomorrow is the day when Zheng Xuanxuan will officially start her rehabilitation, and Jian Qin wants to be with her at this critical time.

"The day after tomorrow... I also have something to do the day after tomorrow. Aunt Zhang will come over that day. If you come back for dinner, you can tell her in advance."

"it is good……"

Jian Qin actually wanted to ask if Ji Jinglian went to see Liu Mei if he had something to do, including those who went out suddenly.She didn't know why she thought that way, obviously the two of them were just bumped into by Li Huanhuan to go shopping together once, but the pictures of those photos were still lingering in her mind.

Actually, even if you ask Erica how she and Liu Mei met, it doesn't matter, does it?Let's just say that Huanhuan ran into the two of them by accident, pretending to ask casually, presumably Erica would not say anything.

Maybe if the explanation is clear, she won't be so cranky anymore.

"Jane Qin."

"Ok?"

"In the future, if you feel uncomfortable, just tell me directly, don't hide it yourself, I won't scold you again."

Ji Jinglian lowered her eyes, as if she was concentrating on massaging Jian Qin, but her eyes were a little distracted, and she didn't focus on any point.

Ji Jinglian has long been used to living alone, no matter whether it is with the same sex or the opposite sex, or even with family members or friends, she has never had what can be called intimate contact.

Only someone in the past briefly got along with her like a best friend, so Ji Jinglian has always followed that standard since the moment she took care of Jian Qin.

For a straight woman, this kind of same-sex contact must be very normal and insignificant, and she is just doing what she should do.Even if she had liked women before, it didn't mean she would like Jian Qin, and it didn't mean that she was using power for personal gain and eating Jian Qin's tofu.

"I see." Jian Qin gradually relaxed, "Erica, you really feel like a sister at this time."

Ji Jinglian snorted coldly.

"Does my sister have to be able to take care of me to feel it?" She still couldn't change her habit of subconsciously choking people, "And I don't feel like a sister, I was originally a sister."

Jian Qin smiled: "Although Jing Xi didn't mention you to me, I think he must be very happy to have a sister like you."

Jian Qin could feel that Ji Jinglian and Ji Jingxi were not close siblings, otherwise Ji Jingxi would not have kept silent about this sister, and Ji Jinglian also kept things about Ji Jingxi secret.

But she thinks this is because of the estrangement caused by the different personalities of the two. After all, Ji Jinglian's first impression is difficult to get close to.

"I am the only child in my family, and sometimes I wish I had a brother or sister."

When Ji Jinglian heard Ji Jingxi's name, her heart sank.If Jian Qin knew how bad the relationship between their siblings was, she wouldn't say such things now.

"The relationship between brothers and sisters is not as harmonious as you think. Compared with brothers and friends, brothers are more likely to fight against each other. Didn't you also guess that I wanted to compete with Ji Jingxi for family property?"

Jian Qin showed embarrassment, but also generously admitted his mistake: "That's because my knowledge of rich families is too shallow, I apologize to you."

"Art comes from life. Have you never thought that your initial judgment might be right?"

A sneer curled up on the corner of Ji Jinglian's mouth, and he made that villainous look again.Out of guilt, most of the time she was thinking about making up for Jian Qin's trauma as much as possible.But there are also occasional moments when she will have very evil thoughts.

Just don't worry about anything else, and put those cruel truths in front of Jian Qin.Let her know how nasty and despicable the man she fancies is, and how stupid and innocent she is?

How would Jian Qin feel if he knew the truth?What kind of expression will it show?

Will it be shock and anger or disappointment and regret?

At such moments, Ji Jinglian would realize that compared with Ji Jingxi, he was not much better at all.

"Erica, you are here again." Jian Qin pursed her lips and chuckled, not paying attention to her words at all? "I already understand your routine, you always speak badly about yourself in order to warn me that people are evil. But I know, the real villains don't go around to make people wary of her, the real villains don't give me massages, they don't take good care of me."

"The more patient the hunter is, the bigger the prey she wants. Are you really not considering the option that I might have ulterior motives?"

Jian Qin's dog's eyes are round and big, the light in them is bright and pure, especially when looking at them, it shows a kind of innocence.

"But what else do I deserve from your ulterior motives?"

Ji Jinglian paused, and the delicate skin touched by her fingertips became clearer and clearer—this girl didn't understand at all that sometimes destroying innocence is the greatest desire of a sinister heart.

"Okay, you can lie down for a while, and I will cook."

"Ah... ok."

Ji Jinglian ignored Jian Qin's surprised look, and walked out the door, but showed a tired look where Jian Qin could not see.

The emergence of Liu Mei, an unstable factor, gave her a rare bit of pressure, and this pressure came more from further deceiving Jian Qin.

In the beginning, she didn't tell Jian Qin the truth because she wanted to help Ji Jingxi retain the last bit of decency. Anyway, Jian Qin was the only person that stupid brother liked. The last thing you can do.

Later, Jian Qin's stubbornness made her give up persuasion, and her mother's conditions made her decide to become an accomplice.

She had already given Jian Qin a choice, and she could only blame Jian Qin for being stupid.

In this way, she convinced herself time and time again, and the deception intensified, and she was even considered a good person by Jian Qin.Compared with Liu Mei, she is obviously more hateful and vicious, so what position does she have to accuse Liu Mei of harming Jian Qin because she is of the same sex?

Sometimes Ji Jinglian would think about it, so she might as well let Liu Mei tell Jian Qin the truth.Let this innocent girl know what kind of slutty person her beloved boyfriend is, let her understand how stupid and ridiculous the so-called love is, and let her deeply understand the cruelty of this world.

Simply let Ji Jingxi's favorite, yearning, and pursuit of happiness be smashed, and let him die underground.

But at such moments, Jian Qin's teary eyes can't help appearing in Ji Jingxi's mind, the phrase "I love Ji Jingxi very much" is still in her ears, and the jealousy in her heart seems to have never dissipated.

She and Ji Jingxi must be the most failed siblings in this world. They look down on each other and are jealous and resentful to each other.The two seemed to have had a time when they were carefree and loved each other, but those memories were too long ago, and she couldn't remember them at all.

The author has something to say: Miss Ji, don't be jealous, let your brother die with regret!
