Jian Ai sighed silently and crawled up from the sofa with difficulty. She thought to herself, ‘So be it.’

In the elevator, Jian Ai stood in front while Ji Haoyu stood behind her. His gaze never left Jian Ai’s side profile.

The pleasant woody fragrance on Ji Haoyu’s body gradually filled the sealed space. This was the perfume he had always used. It was a smell that made people feel at ease.

Jian Ai said nothing and only stared at the decreasing numbers on the elevator. Not that she did not want to care about Ji Haoyu, but she had eaten too much for lunch. She had no desire to move at all, including her mouth!

Being able to stand up and walk him out was already the greatest gift to him.

“Xiao Ai…”

At this moment, Ji Haoyu’s voice suddenly sounded slowly.

His low voice was warm and gentle.

Jian Ai turned her head slightly and looked up at him. “Huh?”

Ji Haoyu stared at Jian Ai’s face. Color rippled in his peach blossom eyes, which were as deep as a cold lake. His pink lips moved slightly before he said, “Have you liked someone before?”

Jian Ai was stunned. Ji Haoyu’s sudden and mindless question stunned her.

Has she ever liked someone before?

“Which kind of like?” Jian Ai asked slowly. The elevator door opened, and she walked out first.

Ji Haoyu followed behind and answered, “It’s the kind of liking between the opposite sex!”

“I did,” Jian Ai answered truthfully.

She felt that there was nothing to avoid. It was not shameful to like someone. She believed that everyone in this world should like someone of the opposite sex or the same sex, right?

At the very least, when the hormones and dopamine in adolescence started to secrete, people’s hearts would start to bloom. This was a natural phenomenon that no one could resist.

Ji Haoyu did not expect Jian Ai to answer so bluntly. His expression changed slightly. “You liked a boy before?”

As soon as he spoke, Ji Haoyu’s tone subconsciously turned cold, as if dissatisfied with Jian Ai’s answer.

Jian Ai frowned at him. “Do I look like someone who will like girls?”

Hearing this, Ji Haoyu’s expression instantly turned cloudy. Jian Ai noticed his change and couldn’t help but ask curiously, “Why do you have such an expression? Isn’t… isn’t this normal?”

“So you have someone you like now, right?” Ji Haoyu didn’t give up and continued to ask.

Jian Ai immediately sneered weakly and looked at Ji Haoyu helplessly. “It’s in the past, not now. It’s already a long time ago!”

It had indeed been a long time, so long that it went back to her previous life.

The person Jian Ai was talking about was Lin Yi. Even if she didn’t like him anymore, Jian Ai couldn’t deny that in the three years of high school in her previous life, she had truly liked Lin Yi and had a crush on him for three years.

Hearing Jian Ai’s words, Ji Haoyu’s expression softened a little.

Jian Ai looked at his changing expression and couldn’t help but laugh. “There’s something wrong with you. You’re the one asking questions, and you’re the one who’s unhappy when I answer. Next time, I’ll specially choose what you like to hear!”

“I like to hear you call me Haoyu. Why don’t you do that?” Ji Haoyu looked at Jian Ai and said.

Jian Ai was speechless. She swallowed and said with difficulty, “It’s too disgusting. I can’t say it!”

Ji Haoyu: “…”

After sending him to the entrance of the neighborhood, Jian Ai stood up. “Bye.”

Ji Haoyu walked to the car and suddenly turned around. “Don’t forget the date you owe me!”

Jian Ai couldn’t be bothered to correct him. She waved her hand impatiently. “I can’t run away. Don’t worry!”

Only then did Ji Haoyu smile in satisfaction. He opened the car door, got in, and left.

Seeing Ji Haoyu’s car disappear at the end of the intersection, Jian Ai sighed deeply. She didn’t know if it was her imagination, but she felt that their relationship had become strange.

In fact, their relationship was always changing, and it was under Ji Haoyu’s lead alone. In Jian Ai’s eyes, she was the person Ji Haoyu had influenced because the reason their relationship changed was because Ji Haoyu was working hard alone.

She did nothing, but Ji Haoyu had subtly influenced her. Then, she changed with him.

This was the magical part about Ji Haoyu. He could change others.

Jian Ai could not help but sigh. To a certain extent, Ji Haoyu was not the person she had initially imagined. When the actual results far exceed one’s expectations, people would feel much more relaxed and even feel happy.

For Jian Ai, she did not know if she was happy or not, but she felt much more relaxed. Compared to when she interacted with Ji Haoyu in the past, she liked and could accept the current Ji Haoyu more.

Even if he was still childish sometimes, Jian Ai saw how cute he was when he was childish.

In the afternoon, Jian Ai accompanied Wang Yunmei to Century Mansion.

They had renovated the new house for over half a year. It was nearing the end. Uncle Wu would come over every day to help supervise the work. He mainly considered Wang Yunmei’s health and was afraid that the gas she inhaled would affect her health if she stayed in such an environment for too long. After all, she had suffered from a severe illness this year.

It had been a long time since Jian Ai saw the renovation progress of her new home. As soon as she entered, the interior of the house was already in shape. Because they had hired a professional designer, the renovation style was very obvious. It was a warm Nordic style that Jian Ai and her mother had chosen back then.

Jian Ai preferred industrial styles and light extravagant styles, but since they were family, she still decided to have a color with temperature in the end. Hence, she decided on a Nordic style with her mother.

“Uncle Wu!”

Seeing Wu Shaoqi, Jian Ai smiled and greeted him.

“Xiao Ai is here. Take a look. Are you satisfied?” Wu Shaoqi and Jian Ai didn’t have any unnecessary pleasantries. Their relationship was like family, so their way of communication was very natural.

Jian Ai smiled and nodded. “Pretty good. It’s similar to the rendering. It’s much better than I expected.”

Wang Yunmei nodded at the side. “I think it exceeded my expectations too. At that time, when I looked at the rendering, I thought this color would be too bright. Actually, it’s just nice. It’s neither too much nor too little!”

“I like this style too. If I didn’t help to supervise the renovation, I wouldn’t have known that they could decorate the house like this!” Wu Shaoqi smiled and said, “I want to renovate my new house like this later. I like it too.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Shaoqi couldn’t help but say to Wang Yunmei, “By the way, Xiao Mei, the designer told me this morning that it’s almost done. You can choose the furniture now!”
