Princess Syndrome - Chapter 120
Chapter 120: That
Su Lingyue took a day off and lingered in bed with Ji Zhiyi until the evening, watching her write her guarantee word by word. She wanted to ask about the love letters from the past, but she felt she would seem too petty, so she held it back. She then asked Ji Zhiyi, "So, you can't go out this weekend either?"
Ji Zhiyi asked, "Do you have something planned?"
Su Lingyue: "I need to help Chu Yi move this weekend."
Ji Zhiyi said, "I can wait for you at home, and cook something."
Su Lingyue hugged her, laughing.
Ji Zhiyi asked, “Are you so happy?”
Su Lingyue nodded her head. "Yes."
She didn't hide her emotions at all, revealing them clearly. Ji Zhiyi felt that she was being loved. Her face was filled with delight. She wrapped one arm around Su Lingyue, but Su Lingyue pushed her away. “You haven’t finished writing! Don’t slack off!”
Ji Zhiyi had no choice but to sit up straight. Su Lingyue gave her some fruit while she was writing. Ji Zhiyi tilted her head and ate a bite, and Su Lingyue put her finger there, Ji Zhiyi, not thinking much, bit down on it.
Su Lingyue then smiled triumphantly.
Ji Zhiyi shook her head.
After fooling around until the evening, they invited Chu Yi and Zhang Xian over for dinner. As soon as Chu Yi walked in, she said, "I told you you wouldn't last half a day. It wasn't even half a day!"
Su Lingyue didn't say anything.
Zhang Xian arrived shortly after.
When she saw them, she let out a sound of surprise. "I forgot the gift!"
Su Lingyue looked at her. "What gift?"
Zhang Xian said, "A make-up gift!"
Although she said it was a make-up gift, she had actually bought it before Ji Zhiyi had even come back. They were custom matching watches. She had compared many styles before finally designing one. Su Lingyue picked up the box and bragged to Ji Zhiyi. "Here, a gift."
Ji Zhiyi’s eyes curved, watching her smile. "Yeah."
Su Lingyue said, "I'll put it on for you."
Saying this, she saw Ji Zhiyi’s wrist was still wearing the watch she always wore. Su Lingyue was curious. "Why do you wear this every day?"
Ji Zhiyi lowered her eyes and asked, "Is it not good-looking?"
"It looks good," Su Lingyue said. "It's just that you have so many nice watches in your room, why haven't you changed it?"
Ji Zhiyi was just about to speak when Zhang Xian squeezed in. "Where are the plates?"
Su Lingyue followed her out to get the plates.
She glimpsed Chu Yi, sitting on the sofa, staring intently at Xiao Mafan.
She said, "If you like, you can take her home for a few days?"
Chu Yi quickly said, "No, thank you!"
Although she liked her, she didn't want to take allergy medication every day.
Ji Zhiyi watched Su Lingyue leave the room. She took out the gift Zhang Xian had given her from the box and put it on her wrist, then looked at the watch she was wearing.
Su Lingyue had preserved it very well. It wasn't worn out. She had taken the picture of it that day, sitting two rows behind her. When Su Lingyue got up and looked back, she wanted to greet her, but Su Lingyue was pulled down by the friend on her side, their posture intimate.
She sat there quietly for a while before leaving early.
Ji Zhiyi carefully took off the watch, put it in the box, and put on the watch Zhang Xian had given her.
Su Lingyue squeezed in again, visibly happy. Since they had talked openly this morning, her emotions had been very high, and she hadn't spared Ji Zhiyi in the morning, changing many poses. If it wasn't daytime, with all that sunlight, she estimated that she would have done it everywhere in the room.
After lunch, she pulled Ji Zhiyi, saying that they needed to rest. When they were resting, she started talking about family matters, about their old house. She didn't know why, but her eyes turned red. She said, “I don’t know what it’s like now.”
Ji Zhiyi asked her, "Haven't you been back?"
Su Lingyue shook her head. "No."
Ever since her father had transferred the house to Zhou Shiyu, she had never gone back, even though it held all of her memories with her mother. She didn't want to, she didn't dare.
She was unwilling.
She was afraid of going back, of seeing Zhou Shiyu and not being able to stop herself from fighting with her.
She was afraid that her mother would see her not doing well.
So, she had been holding it in all the time.
Now, telling Ji Zhiyi all this, it was a bit funny.
Ji Zhiyi asked her, "Do you want to go back?"
Su Lingyue thought about it for a while and said, “I really wanted to before.”
There were even a few times when she couldn’t help but secretly go there at night, standing by the door for a long time, but she never went closer.
Su Lingyue said, "I don't want to now."
Ji Zhiyi asked, "You don't like it anymore?"
“I like it.” Su Lingyue cupped her face and kissed her. “But I have a new home now.”
This home made her happier and more joyful than the old house.
Her mother would be at ease too, right?
Ji Zhiyi pulled her thoughts back, looked at Su Lingyue and said, "Did you find the plates?"
“Yeah.” Su Lingyue said. “Chu Yi brought some fruit, and Zhang Xian just cut them up. We’ll eat them outside in a bit.”
Ji Zhiyi nodded and went out with Su Lingyue. They had steak for dinner. Ji Zhiyi did the cooking. She said to Chu Yi, "I'll wait for you when you get back this weekend."
Chu Yi’s courage had also increased. Ever since she had found out that Ji Zhiyi was with Su Lingyue, she wasn't as restrained around her. Although, sometimes, she still felt that Ji Zhiyi was too bland when she didn't talk or smile, especially when she had no expression. She even spoke in a low voice.
But Su Lingyue was not.
Su Lingyue could quickly stick to Ji Zhiyi no matter what she was doing.
And Ji Zhiyi would also look at her and smile. One moment she was cold and indifferent, the next moment, she would smile gently, so she naturally wasn't that afraid anymore. Hearing what Ji Zhiyi said, she said, “Can I order food?”
She said, "Zhang Xian said your cooking is amazing."
Ji Zhiyi looked at Su Lingyue.
Su Lingyue said, "Sure, I’ll be her sous chef."
Chu Yi was speechless.
Could they still eat that meal?
After dinner, Ji Zhiyi asked Zhang Xian to discuss matters about the factory in the study. Su Lingyue took Chu Yi around the house, and when they got to Ji Zhiyi’s wardrobe, Chu Yi clicked her tongue. “It’s so big!”
It was like a dream princess’s dressing room!
The wardrobe was even bigger than her rented apartment.
Hearing this, Su Lingyue smiled. “I’ll take you to see something you’ll like even more.”
Chu Yi followed her closely to the door. Su Lingyue turned on the lights, and the room was immediately bright. The display cabinet with rows and rows of high heels made Chu Yi dumbfounded, frozen on the spot. Su Lingyue said, "What do you think?"
Her tone conveyed how amazing her wife was.
Chu Yi gave her a thumbs up and said in awe, “This is the Haoyue series, right?”
The legendary Haoyue series, today she had finally seen it. Chu Yi walked along the display cabinet, the rows of high heels giving her the illusion that everything was blurry and that every angle held a new beauty. It was no wonder so many people wanted to buy them. Who wouldn't be captivated by this?
She reached the last pair.
She made a sound of surprise.
Su Lingyue went closer. "What..."
She couldn’t finish her sentence. Seeing the last pair of high heels, which was the pair she had been given, was inside the display cabinet. There was no tag, but the design of the shoe was from the same series as the previous ones. Su Lingyue had noticed it that night, but she didn't expect her to put the pair of shoes in with the Haoyue series.
Chu Yi said, "Haoyue has a new design?"
Su Lingyue was also confused but didn’t show it.
Chu Yi said, "It's really beautiful, but has it not been exhibited yet?"
Su Lingyue nodded.
Wasn't it a custom design for her?
Chu Yi said, “I guarantee that when these shoes are exhibited, many people will be unable to sit still.”
After all, the Haoyue series was different from others. It was the first exclusive series created by a domestic designer abroad. The Haoyue series had a different meaning and each pair was highly anticipated. She had heard that the ninth pair of shoes had already been preordered for a high price when they were exhibited. But Ji Zhiyi hadn’t authorized it and hadn’t sold them either. The hype around the tenth pair was predictable.
Su Lingyue stared at the high heels.
There was movement outside. She looked over and saw that Ji Zhiyi and Zhang Xian had already come out and were chatting outside. She and Chu Yi walked out of the wardrobe. Chu Yi said genuinely, "I'm so envious."
Zhang Xian said, "Me too."
Chu Yi seemed to have found someone with similar feelings. She said weakly, "You can’t afford them either?"
Zhang Xian said, "I can afford them."
Chu Yi was speechless.
Zhang Xian said, "I can afford them, but I'm still envious."
Chu Yi was speechless.
She wanted to punch her!
Her eyes were too harsh. Zhang Xian laughed, handing them water and fruit. Su Lingyue watched Ji Zhiyi go into the bathroom and couldn't help but follow her and ask, "What did you talk about with Zhang Xian?"
Ji Zhiyi said, "I told her to start releasing the goods."
Su Lingyue’s eyes lit up. "Su Qi made a move?"
Ji Zhiyi said, "Not yet." She smiled at Su Lingyue. "Soon."
Hearing this news, Su Lingyue was elated.
What she thought was impossible was turning around, and it was becoming a possibility. How could she not be happy? She had been worried since she heard the news. Now, hearing Ji Zhiyi say that it would be soon, her heart almost jumped out of her chest.
She patted her chest and steadied her breathing. Seeing Ji Zhiyi about to use the bathroom, she stepped out. At the door, she remembered the matter of the shoes and called out. "Ji Zhiyi."
Ji Zhiyi’s voice was muffled. “Yeah?”
Su Lingyue was afraid she wouldn’t hear her and said, "Never mind, I’ll tell you when you come out."
Ji Zhiyi didn't say anything.
Su Lingyue went to the living room and sat next to Chu Yi. She saw her tapping on her phone. Chu Yi saw Su Lingyue and waved. “Lingyue, come, come.”
Su Lingyue asked her, "What are you looking at?"
Chu Yi said, "I was just looking for news about the tenth pair of Haoyue shoes. Guess what, I actually found it!"
Su Lingyue sat beside her and saw an English report. There was also a translation by a blogger in Chinese. There was an extra note: [Recently, Ji Zhiyi met Lucky's colleague abroad. According to the colleague, Ji Zhiyi was designing a pair of shoes for the Haoyue series, and it is very likely that this is the last pair. The Haoyue series will no longer be launching new products.]
Chu Yi gave her a piece of orange. "Is Ji Zhiyi not going to design the Haoyue series anymore?"
Su Lingyue shook her head.
She really hadn’t heard Ji Zhiyi say that.
Chu Yi said, "Well, it’s a good thing that she's not designing them, I'm guessing it's because of you."
Su Lingyue. "Me?"
Chu Yi said, "Yeah, since you're in a relationship."
Su Lingyue said, “Why can’t she design them just because she’s in a relationship?”
Chu Yi gasped. "Haven’t you heard where she gets her inspiration for the Haoyue series? It’s because of the person she likes! Since she’s with you now, she definitely needs to settle down and can't create anything new for that series anymore."
Zhang Xian tried her best to minimize her presence while listening to them chat.
Su Lingyue’s eyes were already on her.
Zhang Xian coughed when Su Lingyue looked at her, clearing her throat.
Su Lingyue went closer, "Is that true?"
Zhang Xian stammered, "This...that...actually..." Her attitude told Su Lingyue everything. "Is that about the love letters she wrote in high school?"
She didn't need to emphasize that so much.
Zhang Xian was silent.
Seeing that they weren't saying anything, Su Lingyue pretended to be generous. "I thought it was something big. It's just that, I know."
Zhang Xian breathed a sigh of relief. "That’s right, it's no big deal. Who hasn't liked someone when they were in school."
Su Lingyue said softly, "I haven't."
Zhang Xian's breath caught in her throat again.
Her mood was like a rollercoaster.
When Ji Zhiyi came out of the bathroom, Zhang Xian was looking at her with a pleading expression.
