Chapter 1890: As expected of her
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Ji Fengmian leaned against the bed. Other than his eyes and nose, his entire body was wrapped in white gauze. There were two soft pillows behind him as he stared quietly at the television hanging on the wall.
Uncle Chu came to deliver food to her.
She didn’t react to the news on TV.
Ji Fengmian took the cup from him and stuffed the straw into his mouth before taking a sip of the porridge.
“It’s hard on you, Director. It’s not easy to lie in front of so many reporters.”
Uncle Chu replied softly, “It’s not a lie.”
Ji Fengmian pursed his lips and looked at the television screen again.
In the chaotic scene, her gaze was still fixed on the boy standing quietly behind the entrance of the orphanage.
Her eyes darkened and she stopped looking at the screen.
Uncle Chu turned off the television. “Miss, is there anywhere you want to go? I’ll go for a while.”
“Arrange what?”
“… Do you still want to stay in Ping Cheng City? I don’t think you want to see some people here again…”
“I didn’t just spend money to buy a house.”
Uncle Chu sighed softly. “I can sell it again…”
“There’s no need to go through so much trouble,” said Ji Fengmian calmly. “I don’t want to see them, but there’s no reason for me to avoid them.”
Just because of them, she couldn’t live in the house she had just bought and had to return the school she had just entered? Her carefree life had just begun. Why should she give up on all these because of them?
Uncle Chu was a little confused. “…But when the news was released, many people thought…”
“That’s because they thought that I was dead. There’s no need to leave this place, and you don’t have to torture yourself.”
Uncle Chu was silent for a while before nodding. “Okay.”
Ji Fengmian’s injuries were not light. It was not an exaggeration to say that his bones were broken.
Being wrapped up like a mummy, it was an indescribable feeling for a young lady who had just started to appreciate beauty.
Ji Fengmian was still a little concerned about whether she was beautiful or not. However, it was mostly because of her self-esteem that she couldn’t control. She felt a little embarrassed to be in such a sorry state.
Hence, other than Uncle Chu, no one came to visit her.
After being hospitalized for more than a month, under Ji Fengmian’s insistence, Uncle Chu finally couldn’t dissuade her and was discharged to recuperate at home.
Thanks to her young age, her body had finally recovered after more than three months.
After being forcefully locked at home by Uncle Chu for half a month, Ji Fengmian finally received permission to go to school.
When they entered the school, the children were quite surprised.
Someone boldly asked Ji Fengmian why he was still alive.
Ji Fengmian didn’t know whether to laugh or cry at this question. “King of Hell said that I can’t exist in this world, so he released me.”
Not many people would believe this answer. However, although they had not known her for long, she was indeed Ji Fengmian.
After three months, Ji Fengmian didn’t receive as much attention.
Those who needed to go to school would eat, drink and play. If they had nothing to do, they would enter the library and stay there for the entire day.
Uncle Chu’s business was improving and their living conditions had been improving.
During the new year, it was rare for Ji Fengmian to wheedle with Uncle Chu. From then on, she owned a library.
Coffee and desserts, plus her exclusive comfort zone.
It wasn’t that she was trying to make a profit. It was entirely for her own convenience. She liked all kinds of designs.
However, it also attracted many people.
She was a little surprised, but Uncle Chu still seized the opportunity and occupied a spot in Ping Cheng City.
Her days were dull and she lived comfortably.
Regarding the orphanage, it was as though it had nothing to do with them.
There was no mention of it.
Initially, she could still mention Ye Jingyun. However, after Ye Jingyun stopped appearing and contacting her, she did not take the initiative to look for her.
After all, if she wanted to look for Ye Jingyun, she could only call the orphanage.
That place, please spare her.
Ping Cheng City was so big and they lived their own lives. It was normal that they didn’t interact.
Uncle Chu took good care of Ji Fengmian’s life and fulfilled all his requests. Even if there were no needs, Ji Fengmian had to fulfill them.
Hence, after a few years, the wishing bottle that Chu Boyang had given her had always been empty.
In the corner of her bedroom window, there was a layer of dust.
—
Ping Cheng T University was one of the top universities in the world.
Ji Fengmian was wearing simple jeans and a white shirt. His long hair was tied up high and swayed gently as he walked.
Looking around, there were plenty of such simple outfits.
However, there were clearly more gazes on her.
Her facial features were beautiful, but there was a coldness in her eyes that made people shrink back. Occasionally, when she looked at someone, it was enough to force that person’s gaze back.
Her clothes were ordinary, revealing her wrist and neck. Her beautiful face glowed under the white shirt.
Ji Fengmian held a few books in one hand and the latest phone in the other. The call seemed to have been going on for some time. In the beginning, he only responded casually. In the end, he seemed to have lost his patience and finally spoke in a calm voice.
“I can handle everything myself. Don’t worry about me.”
Then, he grunted before putting the phone away.
She was a loner and didn’t seem easy to get along with. No one rushed up to greet her.
Most of the freshmen rushed to the dormitory to grab a seat. There weren’t many people who went to the classroom, but she was happy to take the best seat in the back row.
There weren’t many things that could make her happy.
She felt that the joy of entering university was nothing to be happy about. Compared to this, being able to occupy an ideal position for her was something to be happy about.
The corners of her lips twitched slightly, and her smile seemed to melt most of the snow on her face.
However, her smile gradually disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Why did the man standing five meters away look so familiar?
It had been almost nine years, and her appearance had changed drastically.
How could she… recognize him at a glance?
Her brows twitched slightly as she retracted her gaze. With a calm expression, she walked towards the opposite side.
He ignored her.
She walked past the man.
The man’s features were handsome and his eyebrows were deep and calm. He had a high nose bridge, thin lips, and an indifferent expression.
When Ji Fengmian walked past him with a calm expression, his indifferent expression finally cracked.
His tensed body turned around and looked at Ji Fengmian’s back. He opened his mouth but no sound came out.
She found the classroom and successfully found the last seat by the window.
Putting the book down, Ji Fengmian sat down and looked at the scenery outside the window. There were also busy students and parents. After a long while, he held his chin and sighed softly.
“What a sin.”
Chu Boyang’s figure froze in her mind.
He had clearly changed a lot, but why was she so convinced that he was Chu Boyang?
It was good that she had recognized the wrong person, but she had no expectations at all.
She was just fooling herself. She didn’t like to do unnecessary things. Although it was just a thought, she didn’t want to waste her energy.
What could she not do?
Her slender fingers tapped her fair skin lightly. “You’ve grown up.”
After staring out of the window for a while, she snorted and turned around to take out a book. She flipped open a page with a broken corner and continued reading.
One after another, people came to the classroom to choose their desks. Her eyes remained lowered as she rested her chin on her hand and stared at the books.
That coldness was not easy to get along with. With so many people coming and going, she did not even look up, let alone give anyone a look.
Not to mention snatching seats from her, even the seats around her were empty.
They were filled with yearning for their university days and did not want to waste their time on someone who might take too long to conquer.
There were so many wonderful things that they wanted to experience.
However, when someone sat beside Ji Fengmian, all the girls in the class felt regret.
The main reason was that the man was too good-looking.
Looking at the female classmate who had not raised her head, they could only shake their heads and sigh regretfully.
The sun shone on Ji Fengmian and he felt a little cold. He turned the page and closed the book.
She reached out to pinch her sore neck. The moment she raised her head, it was the turn of the male students to beat their chests in regret and lament.
Some words naturally reached Ji Fengmian’s ears. His eyebrows twitched and he looked up. The gazes on her made her frown slightly.
“What’s the matter?”
She retracted her gaze instantly.
Damn.
There was no doubt about the queen’s aura.
Seeing that they had nothing to say, Ji Fengmian retracted his gaze.
She glanced at the side because she had not retracted her gaze.
The second time they met.
Ji Fengmian glanced at him calmly before retracting his gaze.
She continued to massage her neck, without any pretense.
Chu Boyan was a little disappointed.
Even if she felt a little uncomfortable after seeing him, he was still happy.
At least he had some weight in her heart and was not a complete stranger.
How did she do it?
As expected of Ji Fengmian, he was heartless…
Pursing his lips, he lowered his gaze.
As expected of her…
