Under the shadow

2027. 10, 31

This day was Qin Si's 27th birthday, and it was also nine years after that parting.

Ji Huanian, who hadn't had a good rest for nearly two months, parked the car at the gate of the court, leaned on the car door and looked up at the gradually darkening sky thoughtfully, his usually delicate face was obviously tired at this moment.

In fact, it's not a bad thing to say, of course, not for Ji Huanian who took over the job.Yan Qing, the CEO of City A branch, asked for leave a month ago to go back to accompany his wife who was about to give birth after finishing the last project that could not be shirked at the end of the year. , Ji Huanian inevitably became the No. 1 choice to take over Yan Qing's job.

But fortunately, after being busy around the clock for nearly a month, Ji Huanian finished the work at hand on Christmas Eve, ended his business trip non-stop and returned to City A.I took out my phone and checked WeChat, it has been two days......

The last time my child took the initiative to find me was two mornings ago. It seems that he took a special case, and it still has no chance of winning......

There was a human voice at the door, and Ji Huanian looked in the direction of the exit of the hall, looking for his children.

"Qin Lu's performance this time is very good. It's completely unobtrusive that he has been in the legal profession for less than three years." And it just so happens that the prosecutor in charge of the case in Qin Si's hands is called Chu Mian.

"Don't call me that when you get out of the court." Qin Si couldn't laugh or cry, "Otherwise, I have to call you Chu Jian?"

"Okay, Ah Si, you really can't help being funny." Chu Mian smiled, and caught a beige figure out of the corner of her eye, "Su Xue is here, shall we go back together? Anyway, the neighborhood is also next to each other"

"No, I'll pick up Ah Si." The chatter and laughter between the two fell into Ji Huanian's ears, causing her to frown. After hesitating for a while, she still walked in front of the two of them and interrupted Chu Mian. Invitation to Qin Si "Ah Si, come here"

When the familiar voice sounded, Qin Si had already froze in place, his eyes fixed on Ji Huanian's approaching figure, and a touch of surprise rose in his eyes as his sweetheart approached.

"This is this?" Chu Mian was puzzled, and pulled Su Xue, who had already come, to the side. It was really Ji Huanian's calm face that was a bit scary, and it was inevitable that Chu Mian and Su Xue stood beside Qin Si. A little embarrassing.

"Why are you back?" Seeing that the person he likes is standing in front of him at this moment, Qin Si's eyes turned red and he pulled Ji Huanian's sleeve, acting like a spoiled child, "It's been more than a month, you still know I exist"

Qin Si, who usually gave people the impression of being cold and indifferent, now showed a childish side in front of another woman. This time, not only Chu Mian and Su Xue, but also the colleagues behind the two of them also stayed where they were. Did they usually kill the decisive and icy Great Lawyer Qin? ? ?

Seeing the grievance on the child's face, Ji Huanian frowned, reached out and rubbed Qin Si's short hair, leaned forward and whispered in her ear, "Ah Si, tell them who I am"

"Ji Hua Nian"

"anything else"

"elder sister"

"Well, what else?" Seeing several times, it was not the answer he wanted. Ji Huanian knew that the kid was still angry, so he stretched out his hand to pick up Qin Si's chin, and looked at Qin Si's eyes with a gentle "baby"

The sudden sweetness of "girlfriend" made Qin Si dazed for a while, and his desire to retaliate against Ji Hua's indifference some time ago collapsed in an instant with these two words. Like Hua Nian, Qin Si tilted his head and thought for a while, then added in a low voice pretending to pause, "Um...no, it should be my fiancée now."

Hearing the booing around, Qin Si held Ji Huanian's wrist that was holding her chin, looked her in the eyes, and asked each word seriously, "Do you still remember the document I brought you to sign before you left?"

document?It seems that there is such a thing. On the afternoon before Ji Huanian's business trip, Qin Si suddenly came to the company and pulled her up and walked out. Place, signed a few documents, what are the details, Ji Huanian was so dizzy from the torment of work in the past few days, so Ji Huanian didn't read it carefully at the time, and signed in the direction of Qin Si's fingers in a daze.

Isn't it ridiculous?After all, no one just foolishly obediently signed without even reading it, right?What was she thinking at the time?Oh yes, at that time, she thought that her children would never do something that was not good for her, and she still had some trust...... Hehe...... …

Seeing Ji Huanian's puzzled expression, Qin Si reluctantly took a step forward to hold Ji Huanian's hand, and turned to the colleague behind him, "So she is not only my girlfriend."

"What?" Ji Huanian was stunned, and fog rose in front of his eyes

Seeing that the people around him seemed to have misunderstood, Qin Si paused, looked at Ji Huanian with serious and gentle eyes, and spoke softly enough for everyone to hear clearly, "You are also the guardian I have identified in my life, my fiancée Miss "

Before Ji Huanian could react, Qin Si let go of Ji Huanian's hand, took out a ring from the inner pocket of his suit, and knelt down on one knee, "Ji Huanian, you You know? I love spring breezes, summer rains, autumn frosts, and winter snows. Not because of how beautiful they paint dreamy landscapes, but because they advance and witness our stories."

"From me and you at the beginning, to us at the end. Don't understand? Oh, fool. To put it simply, what I mean is that you are my past seasons and my future years."

Looking up at the light of surprise in Ji Huanian's eyes, the sky had already darkened, and the surrounding lights seemed to be assisting Qin Si. At this moment, they turned on at the same time, reflecting the side faces of the two people, softening the usual The only thing left is tenderness and love. "In college, the first sentence I learned was 'you can do what is not prohibited', so Ji Huanian, marry me, so that you will continue to like me, and I will continue to love you." You can also rest assured to explore our future.”

The person in front of her was already sobbing when she knelt down on one knee, and her trembling hands were folded in front of her lips without a sound. Just when Qin Si thought she had failed, a slender white hand stopped at Qin Si's. "It's too late to regret it now"

"How is it possible! Don't even think about it in your life!" The ring was slowly put on Ji Huanian's ring finger, Qin Si got up and hugged Ji Huanian and retorted childishly.

The people around had gradually dispersed at some point, except for the two who were embracing under the street lamp and could not be separated for a long time.

At night, Ji Huanian leaned on the bed and looked at the ring on his hand, still unable to recover for a long time, and looked down at Qin Si who was lying on his neck and kept lighting the fire, "By the way, there is no marriage proposal at the gate of the court, you are too rash Bar"

"Isn't it because you were jealous at the time, sister~" Qin Si pecked his lover's lips lightly, Qin Si felt a little funny, and tightened his hands around Ji Huanian's waist, "Then I proposed as soon as my head got hot."

"Cut~" Throwing Qin Si a look of 'I don't believe it', Ji Huanian knocked off Qin Si's hand on his waist, which was concentrating on lighting the fire, and lay down on his side, ignoring his side rubbing against him like a child, making fun of him Qin Si, but his face was uncontrollably hot.

Seeing that her sister was as shy as a little girl, Qin Si didn't force her any more, but smiled helplessly, lay down beside Ji Huanian, hugged Ji Huanian's waist from behind, and hugged her A pious kiss fell gently on the back, "Sister, good night"

Nine years ago today, Qin Si confessed his love to Ji Huanian, and Ji Huanian escaped.

Today, nine years later, Qin Si proposed to Ji Huanian, and Ji Huanian agreed.

In the darkness, the rings on the hands of the two of them gleamed faintly, marking the end of the chaotic interlacing under the shadows.

People are always emphasizing the importance of results, but who can say that the process is not important?

As long as there is still a chance to meet each other, who can say that it is completely impossible?

Stumbling temptations, reunions going round and round, all the misses and regrets that I once thought I had finally pieced together and assisted the two of them. Without these so-called processes, how could we come to the present?

At midnight on November 11st, Qin Si's circle of friends regularly sent out a circle of friends:

Your appearance made me honored to be one of the remaining ten or twelve, ushering in my own redemption, Miss Ji, please give me more advice for the rest of my life @吉华年

Awakened by the vibration of the mobile phone at the bedside, Ji Huanian turned on the mobile phone in the dark, looked at the children's circle of friends, then turned his head and rubbed his chin against the little furry head in his arms. Quickly tap on the screen, and then fall asleep with my child in my arms.

On the screen that hadn't been turned off was a circle of friends that had just been sent out, and it was also Ji Huanian's second circle of friends in his 37 years of life so far.

The first one is in May 2024. The two met in the company's legal department. Ji Huanian helped Qin Si half-persuade and half-drive away Yu Yang who was entangled in his intention to get back together with Qin Si. In front of the childish and coquettish Qin Si, Ji Huanian posted her first Moments after Qin Si's Moments:

Ah Si, a beam of light that is destined to dissipate can only disturb at most, and the light that will not leave is salvation.

Now, what a deja vu scene:

Ah Si, every crescent moon and stars in the sky for the rest of my life are all because I love you @秦四

The two on the bed embraced each other and slept, the bright moonlight outside the window quietly infiltrated through the gap, softening the cold edges and corners of the two faces in front of outsiders, and at the same time, softening the years.

And in the top corner of the bookshelf in the room, there is a diary that is different from Qin Si's other diaries. Except for a simple sentence on the middle page, all other pages are Ji Huanian's without exception. The name, and the changes in different handwritings, began when Qin Si was 13 years old and ended when Qin Si was 24 years old.

An entire diary contains Qin Siyi's entire youth and love, without exception, from beginning to end, only Ji Huanian.

And the words on the middle page are simpler:

Is it too late to meet you?

If you really feel that it is too late to meet each other, then please start from the first day of meeting, and live up to your love and your years.

Seven years after the successful marriage proposal, when the children of the two accidentally knocked down the diary while playing and was discovered by Ji Huanian, she, who was too early in her ears, hugged her little girl who was ten years younger than herself, I cried all night like a child in my arms.

Maybe we can't decide when each other came to this world, but the right person will eventually appear at the right time, maybe late, but will not be absent.

Love rises with the wind, and the direction of the heart is the only constant result.

Regardless of the topic, whether right or wrong, there is no substitute.

Therefore, what is the need for the so-called secular principles and the harmony of yin and yang, if two people who love each other can finally come together, it is the best destiny.

———End of the book———

The breeze is not dry, the sun is just right, love blows with the wind, and for us, the future can be expected.

I'm Mo Shiqing, "Under the Shadow" is officially over, thank you for watching and accompanying me!
