overdue lover

Chapter 1 Gu Yinmo doesn't want him anymore

Lucheng has not seen snow for a long time, and it is very cold.

Ji Qinglin stood at the bus stop, holding a gift bought for Dai Xingruo's parents, a bright red sports car slowly stopped in front of him.

With the car window rolled down, Dai Xingruo waved his head to Ji Qinglin in the car, "Get in the car."

A few minutes after getting into the car, Ji Qinglin's pale face turned pale from the cold.

"Let you wait in the shopping mall instead of standing on the side of the road to see how cold you are." Waiting for the red light, Dai Xingruo complained and shook Ji Qinglin's hand naturally, and was sternly frozen, and exclaimed , "Why is it so cold?"

She reached out and turned the heater up a few more degrees.

Ji Qinglin smiled apologetically, and asked about tonight's affairs.

"Don't worry, my mother is absolutely satisfied with you, I often praise you in front of them." Dai Xingruo said confidently.

Seeing Ji Qinglin still worried, Dai Xingruo took his hand and shook it, "I know there is someone in Ji Ge's heart that I have liked for many years, but I have also liked you for a long time, so just make it up to me, okay?"

Ji Qinglin shook his head helplessly and could only agree.

What Ji Qinglin was worried about wasn't that Dai Xingruo's parents were dissatisfied with him, but that the two elders didn't believe in their relationship.

Dai Xingruo's father had an accident some time ago, and her mother went crazy and asked her to go on a blind date. She didn't want to get married so early, so she thought of this way - let Ji Qinglin pretend to be her boyfriend and temporarily fool her family's forced marriage.

The car was speeding on the snow-covered road, and the scenery outside became more and more familiar, and Ji Qinglin felt a little uneasy in his heart.

When the car stopped, Ji Qinglin frowned when he got out of the car and saw the manor he had been to many years ago, and the pictures of the past slowly appeared in front of his eyes.

Those happy, sad, and unbearable memories made Ji Qinglin almost breathless.

Ji Qinglin quickly stabilized his mind, turned around and asked Dai Xingruo who came around from behind the car, "Is this your home?"

Dai Xingruo blinked, nodded, and quickly explained: "I didn't live here before, and I was picked up when I was a teenager. Come, help me."

Ji Qinglin took the gift box from Dai Xingruo's hand, nodded thoughtfully, and followed her into the house.

The decoration of the house is the same as it was many years ago. The mural at the entrance is still the famous "Sunflower", but the furniture has basically been changed, and the flowers on the shelves have changed from purple irises to gaudy pink roses. The aroma of food is gone, replaced by a rich and luxurious perfume.

Ji Qinglin changed his shoes in the hallway, and stood looking in the direction of the living room for a while. There seemed to be an invisible barrier in front of him, blocking him and "Sunflower" from the past time and space.

"What are you looking at, come in quickly!" Dai Xingruo waved to him, she thought of something, and quickly turned back to Ji Qinglin's side, holding his arm next door and walking towards the living room.

Sitting on the sofa in the living room was a woman in a black cheongsam, looking at the two people walking with a smile on her face.

The ambiguous posture made Ji Qinglin very uncomfortable, he barely stood firm in front of Dai Li, and smiled awkwardly.

Dai Li is very satisfied with Ji Qinglin, who is gentle, refined and polite. Hearing that he started his own company, the smile on his face is even bigger.

After a few pleasantries, the family aunt poked her head out of the kitchen and asked them to eat.

Ji Qinglin raised his head and met his aunt's eyes, she stumbled, Ji Qinglin hurriedly looked away.

At the dinner table, Dai Li poured red wine and invited him to have a few drinks. Ji Qinglin couldn't resist his kindness, so he could only take it and took a few sips.

After dinner, Dai Xingruo was called away by Dai Li, and Ji Qinglin stood alone by the window in the corridor, borrowing the cold wind from the window to sober up.

He looked out of the window and saw snowflakes coming in. He thought, there should be a car coming in at this moment, and the long headlights of the car swept through the messy wind and snow, and finally went out in the courtyard.

At the same time, a black car suddenly broke into Ji Qinglin's field of vision, driving towards the manor through the dark wind and snow.

Ji Qinglin's heart throbbed uncontrollably.

He saw that in the snowstorm, the driver got out of the car, then respectfully opened the rear door, and two men in black coats got out of the car.

Ji Qinglin squinted his eyes, quietly looking at the face of the man walking behind, and turned sideways in time when the man raised his head.

He thought he was hiding well.

Before Ji Qinglin could go down the stairs, there was the sound of the door opening downstairs, followed by the surprised voice of the aunt at home: "Master! You are back, Master!"

Master?

Ji Qinglin's steps down the stairs slowed down a little, and his mood was indescribably complicated.

"...I just came back from the hospital, I'm fine."

"Who is this--"

Gu Yinmo's voice was very clear, even with a hint of joy, "This is my boyfriend, Pei Yang."

Ji Qinglin's fingers grabbed the corner of his clothes uncontrollably, his palms were dripping with sweat, his eyelashes trembled, his feet seemed to be poured with cement, and he couldn't move at all.

The sound of footsteps downstairs has an upward trend. Ji Qinglin knew that he would be seen sooner or later when he stood here. He tried his best to control his body, and when he wanted to turn around and leave, his arm was suddenly held by someone, and Dai Xingruo appeared beside him.

Before Ji Qinglin had time to leave with Dai Xingruo, he heard Dai Xingruo's voice choked up after being surprised: "Brother! You are finally willing to come back!"

Dai Xingruo ran down the stairs in two or three steps, and threw himself into Gu Yinmo's arms.

Ji Qinglin froze in place.

He never thought that he could reunite with his first love who left without saying goodbye many years ago under such circumstances.

"Brother Ji, this is my half-brother Gu Yinmo." Dai Xingruo turned around and introduced to Ji Qinglin, and then to Gu Yinmo, "Brother, my boyfriend, Ji Qinglin!"

Gu Yinmo glanced at Ji Qinglin lightly, nodded, "Hello."

Ji Qinglin stared blankly at Gu Yinmo, was silent for a while, and then stammered, "You, hello."

"Xing Ruo is young and ignorant, please take care of me." Gu Yinmo's words were addressed to Ji Qinglin, but his eyes kept on his younger sister, with a polite tone and aloof expression.

His indifference made Ji Qinglin's heart ache, Ji Qinglin bit his lower lip and nodded.

"Where's Aunt Dai? Is she okay?" Gu Yinmo asked Dai Xingruo.

Dai Xingruo sniffled and said softly, "Mom is upstairs, she just cried, so it's not convenient to meet people."

Hearing this, Gu Yinmo's eyes darkened, and he said, "Then I won't bother her."

The four came to the living room downstairs, and the aunt brought them evening tea.

Just when the auntie was about to leave with the tray, Gu Yinmo stopped her, "Pei Yang has been abroad for a long time, and he is not used to drinking tea, please change it to coffee."

Holding warm tea in both hands, Ji Qinglin lowered his head, looking at his own figure reflected in the dark tea, he suddenly felt cold all over his body.

He didn't dare to raise his head, didn't dare to look at the two loving people sitting across from him.

Dai Xingruo's eyes flicked around the two of them, and he asked gossipingly, "Brother, you are so kind to Brother Pei Yang, how did you know each other? When did you get together?"

Hearing this question, Ji Qinglin clenched the porcelain cup even tighter, the hot tea almost burned his palm.

He heard Gu Yinmo say that the two met in a bar in Budapest. They are both foreigners, and their lives are compatible and they can chat, so they are naturally together.

Ji Qinglin took a deep breath, his heavy heart seemed to stop beating.

Budapest is the place marked on the map when the two were together.

Ji Qinglin remembers when Gu Yinmo messed up his hair and said he was going to propose there.

But he missed the appointment.

Ji Qinglin finally plucked up the courage to look at the warm scene where the two people on the opposite side bowed their heads and whispered in each other's ears. The longing for the past five years finally came to fruition—it turned out that Gu Yinmo really didn't want him anymore.
