Chapter 43 I Know Him
The sky had darkened, and the Starry Night stood outside the window. The window was an ordinary glass window, but because of the heat, the window sash was open, and through the screen window, everything inside the house could be seen clearly. Everyone in the room was savoring delicious food, and no one noticed the Starry Night standing in the shadows.
That little girl is his daughter, and the young beautiful woman must be his wife. Someone offered him a toast, but the woman said something and picked up the wine to drink it for him instead. The young woman placed the carefully selected fish meat on his plate, he picked up a chicken wing and gave it to the little girl, who said something that made him laugh loudly with an affectionate look in his eyes that couldn't be hidden.
He closed his eyes in the starry night, he also had a family, it's good, I'm not going to recognize him anyway, looking at him like this, I shouldn't disturb him either, let's just be strangers facing each other.
Feeling someone beside me, I turned back vigilantly in the dead of night.
Jiakai was standing beside her at some point, looking through the gauze window at the people in the room.
"I know him," Jia Kai suddenly spoke up.
She hastily dragged him away under the starry night, and when leaving, she didn't forget to look back at the room, fearing being overheard.
As they entered the courtyard, Jia Kai looked at the flustered Xing Ye and said slowly, "I know him, he's Father's friend, I met him when I was very young."
After finishing speaking, he didn't say another word and didn't ask Xing Ye why she was sneaking a peek, but only stared at Xing Ye's eyes.
He wanted to avoid his gaze, he should not know that was his own father, now he is also guessing whether to tell him, if he lies can deceive the clever cousin? Thinking about it seems unnecessary.
Starry night, bitter smile, looked up at Jia Kai and said: "Do I look like him? Like Zhang Honghai."
Jia Kai was stunned, pointing at Xing Ye, "You're saying, you... he is... you"
Xīng yè zhī dào tā míng bái le zì jǐ yào biǎo dá de yì si， kǔ xiào diǎn diǎn tóu。
Translation:
The starry night knew he understood what he wanted to express, and smiled wryly with a nod.
Angry Jia Kai turned around and was about to go find him, but Xing Ye hastily hugged his waist from behind, "Don't go, Brother Jia Kai don't go..."
Jia Kai stopped in his tracks, feeling Xing Ye's face pressed against his back, and a wet patch on his back.
"Ah," sighed Jia Kai, realizing he had also acted impulsively. He removed the hand that was holding Xing Ye's wrist and turned around to hug her, letting her head rest on his chest. He gently patted her shoulder. This little girl didn't even notice herself, she only called him "brother" when something was wrong, otherwise it was always "Jia Kai, Jia Kai".
Xīng yè bǎ tóu mái zài jiā kǎi huái lǐ, wú shēng de liú zhe lèi, yǎn lèi jìn shī le jiā kǎi de yī fu.
Translation:
At night, she buried her head in Jia Kai's arms, silently shedding tears, and her tears soaked through Jia Kai's clothes.
Jia Kai didn't know how to comfort her either, he just stroked her back and gave her silent reassurance. Cry, it's okay to cry.
Someone passing by saw the two people embracing in the courtyard and probably misunderstood, so they deliberately coughed to remind the couple.
Xing Ye awkwardly lifted his head from Jia Kai's arms, wiped away his tears and said with embarrassment, "What's wrong with me? I actually cried. It's not a big deal, I was mentally prepared for this. Yeah, it's the moon's fault, making people more sentimental."
"Poof" home Kailan her reason amused, raised his head to look at the half-hidden moon in the night sky, really some melancholy atmosphere.
Lowering her head to gaze at Xing Ye, her eyes were red and swollen, tear stains still evident, yet she forced a smile, unable to help but feel heartache. "Xing Ye, do you want..." The words trailed off, her eyes drifting towards the northern room.
"Let's go back, Jia Kai gege. Let's pretend we didn't see anything tonight and don't know anything, okay?" Xing Ye looked at Jia Kai with a pleading gaze, and saw Jia Kai nodding with a relieved smile.
Jia Kai would not have known her meaning, Xing Ye did not want to recognize him, did not want to condemn him, then what right did she have to pursue this matter? All she could do was keep the secret for Xing Ye before she wanted to reveal it.
"Let's go, let's walk on the moon." Xing Ye took hold of Jia Kai's arm and they strolled in the moonlight, leaving behind long shadows on the ground.
In the room behind, people with high spirits were clinking glasses and exchanging cups, with the wine atmosphere at its peak.
The starry night woke up from a dream, and after waking up, she touched the tears on her face. She was surprised that it wasn't a terrible nightmare, but she cried so sadly that even after waking up, her tear stains were still not dry. The starry night got out of bed, and her pajamas were already soaked with sweat. Her mouth was dry and thirsty, so she poured herself a glass of cold water and drank it all in one gulp. Looking at the time, it was already 7 o'clock. Her biological clock had always been accurate, and without an alarm clock, she would automatically wake up around 6 o'clock. Today, she probably overslept because of the nightmare.
Can't stand the sticky feeling on my body, quickly took a shower, and was wiping my hair when the doorbell rang. Opened the door to see Jia Kai standing outside.
"I want to take you downstairs for breakfast, I've arranged for them to pick us up at eight." Jia Kai said as he took the big towel from Xing Ye and helped her dry her hair, which was too long to be dried in a short time.
"I overslept, and I can go as soon as I change clothes." Xing Ye wanted to get up, but was pressed back into the chair by Jia Kai.
"With hair that long, you'll catch a cold if you don't dry it." Jia Kai awkwardly patted and blew dry Xing Ye's hair.
Xīng yè cóng jìng zhōng kàn zhe jiā kǎi de dòng zuò, xiào dào: "jiā kǎi nǐ yuè lái yuè yǒu gē gē yàng le."
Translation:
Staring at Jia Kai's movements in the mirror at night, he smiled and said, "Jia Kai, you're becoming more and more like a big brother."
"Call me brother, don't always call me Jia Kai." Jia Kai corrected Xing Ye's words.
The stars are dimly shining in the night sky, people's mental age is older than yours, calling out has obstacles, calling names is more natural.
"Alright," said Jia Kai, wiping the hair of Xing Ye until it was half dry. "No need to rush, there's still time. I'll go downstairs to the restaurant and order some food while waiting for you. You get ready and come down to find me."
She changed into a black seven-pointed cowboy pants, white sleeveless T-shirt, and white canvas shoes. After some thought, she also picked up a white baseball cap. Her simple outfit was refreshing and bright, showing off the unique beauty of a young girl.
The starry night, a man and woman came out of the room next door, embracing each other, and as soon as they stepped out, they leaned against the door and started kissing passionately.
On a dark night, why bother opening the door to be intimate? Is it for others to watch?
If another little girl saw them like this, she would be embarrassed even if she wasn't scared. But to Xing Ye, this level of intimacy didn't have any impact; they had been through more intense situations before.
The starry night passed by them, and I casually took a glance. Hmm, that man was a master of flirting. When they kissed, one hand was placed on the back of the woman's head, and the other hand was rubbing her plump buttocks. The woman hung on him like she was paralyzed.
It was an unintentional glance, but Starry Night couldn't help sneaking another peek at the man. She recognized him - it was the rich young master who had gone on a blind date with Lin Junjie's sister. What was his name again? She didn't know, but she was impressed by her own excellent memory. In such a special situation, she could still recognize someone she had only met once from afar.
At midnight, she looked back and unexpectedly saw that Jin Da Shao, who was busy with his mouth and hands, actually had the leisure to open his eyes wide and stare at her. Xing Ye stared back at him for a moment, then turned around and left without stopping, her lips curling up in disdain.
He looks down on people like this, he and JJ Lin's sister are not formally engaged, but it doesn't make a difference, they both claim to be boyfriend and girlfriend in public, their parents even call each other family, yet he openly hugs and gets intimate with another woman.
You'd better be more discreet even if you're sneaking around, instead of being so obvious that others can't help but notice. Aren't you intentionally making the Lin family lose face? How is Miss Lin supposed to deal with this?!
Jia Kai sat by the window in the restaurant, with two breakfasts already placed on the table.
"Do you know who I just saw?" Xing Ye sat down and eagerly asked Jia Kai.
"Who? Won't it be Jun Jie's sister's boyfriend, Jin Da Shao?" said Jia Kai slowly.
"Starry night opened her eyes wide and said, 'You know he lives on the same floor as us?'"
"I don't know where he lives, but I can see it with my eyes." Jia Kai hinted at returning under the cover of night.
The starry night's lingering gaze, Jin Da Shao was walking hand in hand with that tall and beautiful woman, she seemed to be a part of him. It turned out they also came for breakfast, looking at their electrifying appearance earlier, I thought they would return to bed for another passionate encounter.
