These seven solemn and simple words were carried into Song Xingjia's ears by the evening breeze.

His eyebrows were relaxed and he was not surprised, and his voice was gentle, “I know."

His reaction was too bland, and Ji Lanruo felt as if someone had poured cold water on him, and he was extremely disappointed.

But after she realized something, her eyes quickly shone brightly again, "The love I'm talking about is not the love that fans have for idols, but the love that I want to be your girlfriend."

Pedestrians passing by would never know that just now, this girl had made an important decision in her life.

She was so brave and expressed her feelings.

In Song Xingjia's eyes, Ji Lanruo is just an insignificant one among his many fans.

If it weren't for Jiang Mian, maybe he wouldn't notice Ji Lanruo.

At first, he regarded her as a junior like Jiang Mian.

So when he learned that she came to Hong Kong City, Song Xingjia felt that he should take more care of her.

To him, this is all as it should be.

But her confession was something Song Xingjia never expected.

The two of them stood under the street lamp. His figure was majestic and broad, explaining to Ji Lanruo that he was so close yet so far away.

Sometimes, not answering is also a kind of rejection.

Finally, Song Xingjia spoke.

He stared at Ji Lanruo's head and his voice fell from the top of his head, “You are fine."

The tip of Ji Lanruo's nose felt sour. She knew what he was going to say as soon as he opened his mouth.

She held back her sourness and still had the nerve to reply, “I know."

A smile appeared on Song Xingjia's lips, "So you deserve better."

This sentence was even more infuriating than rejecting her outright.

What does it mean that she deserves better?

What does it have to do with her, no matter how nice the outsider is? Song Xingjia is very good to her, isn't it just because she likes him? What does it mean to say this now?

Ji Lanruo raised her head, tears glistening in her eyes, "Let me ask you something, Song Xingjia, do you like me?"

It is not Song Xingjia's style to drag his feet.

Therefore, even though he couldn't bear it, he still didn't hesitate at all, “I don't like it. I only treat you out of the elder's care for the younger generation. If you have misunderstood, I'm sorry, and I won't do it again."

"Okay," Ji Lanruo nodded, "I understand."

She was very firm and decisive, "There is no need to send me back. I will take some time to relax on my own."

The moment he turned around, tears could no longer hold back and streaked down his cheeks.

dislike?

Don't like her lying about being her fiancé to save her?

Don't like that she takes such good care of her?

It turns out that everything was just her own fault.

Behind him, Song Xingjia reluctantly called the phone, “Song Yan, follow her until you see her go back safely."

Song Yan, who was witnessing the whole drama behind him, nodded, “I understand, how do you go back, Mr. Song?"

"I'll handle it myself."

"yes."

Ji Lanruo wiped her tears without crying for long. If she doesn't like it, just don't like it. She won't like Song Xingjia in the future. What's so great about it?

She walked around outside, bought something delicious and fun when she saw it, and finally went to a bar to indulge.

After scolding a few men who wanted to strike up a conversation, Ji Lanruo felt quite bored.

She stood up to pay the bill and returned to the hotel in the middle of the night with Song Yan guarding her.

In the early morning, Song Yan returned to Song's house.

The study was brightly lit. When he heard the movement, Song Xingjia raised his head, “She went back?"

Song Yan nodded and said cautiously, “I'm going back."

Song Xingjia glanced at him and said, "Just say what you want to say."

With his words, Song Yan immediately started talking, “Miss Ji looks very sad."

Song Xingjia was startled. Long-term pain was better than short-term pain. He couldn't give her what she wanted, so it was better to make it clear once and for all.

Song Yan couldn't help gossiping, “Mr. Song, do you really not like Miss Ji?"

Why doesn't he believe it so much?

"Why do you think I like her?"

"If you don't like her, why are you busy taking Miss Ji out for dinner while leaving piles of work unfinished?"

"Because...she is a fan of mine and a classmate of Mianmian, so I should take care of her."

"Then why did you say she was your fiancée? I don't believe you had no other way to save her at that time." Song Yan continued boldly.

Song Xingjia rubbed his forehead and felt a headache.

So, did Ji Lanruo also misunderstand it for this reason?

There are other ways to save people, but this excuse is the simplest, crudest and most effective.

He knocked on the table with his long knuckles, "I really have no idea about her."

There was an eight-year age difference between the two of them, and she was like a junior. How could he have evil thoughts?

Song Yan murmured in a low voice, "You rejected Miss Ji like this today, how are you going to get along with her tomorrow?"

Song Xingjia pondered for a moment and said, "Go and stay with her tomorrow until she eats and has fun."

Song Yan nodded, "I understand."

As a result, Song Yan ran back to the company early the next morning in disgrace, "President..."

"What's wrong?"

"I went to the hotel where Miss Ji was staying, and the front desk said that people had checked out early in the morning."

After hearing this, Song Xingjia turned on his phone, and there was indeed a message on WeChat.

[Thank you for the hospitality. I have returned to Kyoto. I wish everything goes well. 】

At this moment, Ji Lanruo was carrying her suitcase through the security check.

She originally thought that she was going back to Kyoto after all, so she might as well make it clear to Song Xingjia before leaving.

Well, now it is indeed clear that since it is her wishful thinking, there is no need to stay in Hong Kong City.

She finished sending the message, then blocked Song Xingjia, finally turned off her phone and got on the plane.

Therefore, she missed a call from Song Xingjia.

Inside the office.

Song Yan looked at Song Xingjia, "What should we do now, Mr. Song?"

Song Xingjia came to his senses and said, "Check which flight she took and tell me after she lands safely."

Song Yan whispered, “President, you don't like people paying so much attention to others."

"It has nothing to do with whether you like her or not. I would be so concerned about her safety if she were someone else." Song Xingjia said calmly.

Song Yan paused silently, "Then I'll go check it out now."

After he left, Song Xingjia touched the screen of his phone a few times.

Forget it, just go back.

He ignored the strange emotion in his heart and concentrated on his work.

…

Ji Lanruo saw Ji Lanyu as soon as he got off the plane.

Ji Lanyu took the suitcase from her hand, "What? It's been a long time since I last saw you. I saw your brother being stupid?"

After not seeing each other for more than a year, even the second brother has become somewhat mature.

Ji Lanruo sighed softly, got into his arms, wrapped her hands around her brother's waist, and said softly, "Second brother, I miss you so much..."

Ji Lanyu was flattered. It seemed that they hadn't seen her for so long, and her little sister also became sticky.

He raised his hand and patted Ji Lanruo's back, "Okay, okay, just come back. Are you going to cry?"

I didn't want to cry at first, but when he said that, my eyes got really wet.

Ji Lanruo let go of him with a soft hum and strode forward, "I'm not crying. Stop talking nonsense and go home quickly."

Ji Lanyu followed up with a doting look on his face, "Hey, my little Gongju."

The Ji family has already prepared a reception banquet for Ji Lanruo.

When the servants at home saw her coming back, they all looked happy, “Madam, Master, the lady is back!"

Ji's mother walked out of the living room, "Ruoruo!"

Ji Lanruo walked a few steps quickly and stepped forward to hug her mother.

The familiar feeling made Ji Lanruo relax physically and mentally. Although she had the freedom to play outside, she realized at this moment that it was better to stay at home.

Ji's mother touched the top of her hair lovingly, "Okay, just come back."

Ji Lanruo choked and nodded, "Well, Mommy, I won't leave Kyoto."

"Okay, it's best if the family is together."

Ji Lanyu handed the suitcase to the servant, "Let's eat first."

Ji Lanruo called people one by one, "Daddy, eldest brother, third brother."

Father Ji, “Sit down first."

Ji Lanzhou, “Just come back."

Ji Lanling, “Little sister, you are finally back. In the days when you were away, brother and I have become haggard."

Ji Lanruo smiled and sat down, "Then I see that the third brother has not only not lost weight, but has become stronger."

Ji Lanling touched his nose and said, "Then you have to work a lot and eat a lot, right? In short, you are not allowed to leave again this time."

Ji Lanruo was in a good mood when she saw that the table was full of her favorite dishes. She nodded, "I understand."

Ji Lanzhou was the first to use his chopsticks and said, “What are your next ideas? I will arrange a position for you. Do you want to come to the company to have fun?"

Before she could speak, Ji Lanling chirped, “Little sister, you must not come! It's exhausting."

Ji Lanruo thought for a while, "I won't go to the company."

Ji Lanzhou didn't force her. He always felt that the younger sister's whole person had changed a lot since she came back from this trip.

"So what do you want to do?"

It's not that the entire Ji family can't afford to support Ji Lanruo, nor that Ji Lanruo can't be idle at home.

It's just that as an older brother, he hopes that his little sister can find her own ideals and goals in life.

Instead of living in a muddle all day long.

Ji Lanyu gave Ji Lanruo a big chicken leg, "I support my little sister in whatever she does!"

"I want to be an actor." Ji Lanruo blinked and told them his decision.

Father Ji frowned, "Have you thought about it?"

"Think about it. My major is also related to acting, and I want to engage in some related work. Otherwise, wouldn't my studies have been in vain these past few years?" Ji Lanruo said seriously.

Ji Lanyu put down his chopsticks and said, "Have you really thought about it?"

It's not that he doesn't trust little sister, but that he knows that little sister is different from Jiang Mian.

Jiang Mian was admitted to the Performance Department of Peking University with the first score in professional courses.

As for the younger sister, although her grades are not bad, she chose the acting department at random. He is the one with the lowest grades in the entire major.

Now that he suddenly said he wanted to do this, Ji Lanyu was a little doubtful, "You won't be hot for three minutes again this time, right?"

Ji Lanruo smiled, then twisted her brother's arm mercilessly, "You have only been hot for three minutes, I am serious."

She is somewhat interested in this industry, and for some reason, she thinks she understands it quite well.

If she had to choose a future goal, being an actress would be what she wants to do most at the moment.

Ji Lanzhou smiled and said, "Okay, since my little sister likes it, let her go."

Ji Lanyu bared his teeth and said, "What about my first drama? I'll be the one to invest in it?"

Ji Lanruo smiled even brighter, "Okay, I want to shoot with Jiang Mian."

Ji Lanyu twitched the corner of his mouth, "I thought you would hide your identity in a low-key manner and then go to Hengdian to perform a small role for the last shot and become famous and reveal your identity as the daughter of the Ji family."

Ji Lanruo rolled her eyes, "There are resources at home, why don't I use them?"

She's not a fool.

Ji Lanzhou smiled helplessly, "You're right, it's free if you don't use it."

After dinner, Ji Lanruo went upstairs.

Her room was still the same as when she left, clean and tidy, without any change.

Ji Lanruo felt sour, feeling guilty for having been out playing for so long and neglecting her family.

Downstairs, Ji Lanyu frowned as he listened to the clanging sound coming from upstairs, "What is little sister doing upstairs?"

Ji Lanling was opening the gifts Ji Lanruo brought him without raising his head, "I don't know, I just called two servants up."

Just as he was talking, the servant came down from upstairs carrying a lot of books, magazines, cards and other things.

Ji Lanyu stopped them, "What are you moving?"

The servant stopped and said, "Back to the Second Young Master, the eldest lady said she didn't want these. Let's take them away and throw them away."

Ji Lanyu casually opened a book and asked, "Song Xingjia?"

Ji Lanling climbed up from the sofa in one go, his eyes shining, "My little sister finally lost her fandom?! I finally don't like him anymore, so I'm telling you, I should have thrown him away a long time ago!!"

He just said that no one in the world is more handsome than him!

But my little sister is obsessed with him. She has been in love with this Song actor for so many years.

Ji Lanling smiled brightly and said, "I will hang my photo album in my little sister's room later!"
