Obsession’s Edge

Chapter 14

Lin Jinse asked Zhang Qianhua's opinion before going out. After all, she was not familiar with Beiling, so Zhang Qianhua gave her several recommendations.

In the end, Lin Jinse chose to celebrate Jian Yi at the "Wangjiang Tower".

Wangjiang Tower is located in the old town of Beiling. It is located on the top of Lingshan Mountain in the old town, close to the rolling Lingjiang River, overlooking the prosperous and gorgeous scenery on both sides of the Lingjiang River. It has an elegant environment and not only Chinese dishes, but also Western dishes. It is a simple and easy choice.

"Chinese food." Jian Yi said.

After the group of people left the gym, Lin Jinse remembered that he had forgotten to call Uncle Wang.

"Sister Jinse, if you ask Uncle Wang to come over now, it will take at least half an hour. You can take my car, Ah Shi will take the monkey's car." Luo Wentao stepped into the car and said with a smile.

Lin Jinse was hesitating, but Jian Yishi had already stopped a taxi, opened the door and said to her calmly: "Get in the car."

Lin Jinse breathed a sigh of relief and said to Luo Wentao, "I'd better take a car with Ah Shi."

Lin Jinse got into the back seat of the car, and Jian Yishi also got into the back seat from the other side.

The car started, and neither of them had anything to say. Lin Jinse was a little embarrassed, thought for a while, and said, "Ah Shi, congratulations to you for winning three consecutive championships."

Jian Yi turned her head, glanced at her, and sneered: "There is nothing to congratulate, they are too good."

Lin Jinse smiled lightly and suddenly didn't know what to say.

Jian Yi realized after a moment that she was looking for a topic to talk to him, but he ended it immediately. She couldn't help but smile and stretched out her hand: "Where's my water?"

Lin Jinse hurriedly took out two bottles of water from her backpack. The one with more water left belonged to him and handed it to him: "This is yours."

Jian Yishi nodded and unscrewed the bottle cap. Lin Jinse suddenly remembered that after he won the semi-final, he drank most of the water, so his bottle should be short.

"Wait a minute, this bottle is..." Lin Jinse said hurriedly.

Jian Yishi raised her head, took a sip of water, stopped and looked at her with a frown.

Lin Jinse had no choice but to finish her words, "I'm sorry, I made a mistake. This bottle is yours."

Jian Yishi looked at the water in her hand, then at Lin Jinse, her thin eyes slightly raised, and she chuckled: "Sister, you did it on purpose, right?"

This was the first time he called her "sister", with a prolonged tone and a rising ending, clear and low, with a sense of looseness, unruliness, and a bit of impropriety.

Lin Jinse blushed instantly and said seriously: "I didn't."

Jian Yi smiled very briefly, raised his head and took a few sips, his Adam's apple as sharp as a mountain slid slowly, one after another.

When Lin Jinse and Jian Yi arrived at Wangjiang Tower, Luo Wentao and the other three were already waiting at the gate.

"Sister Fairy, you've chosen this place really well. It's my first time here." Luo Wentao blew a rainbow fart when he saw Lin Jinse.

Hou Teng insulted him: "How could a vulgar person like you, who only knows how to have fun in bars, know such an elegant and noble place?"

"You are vulgar! Fairy sister, don't listen to his nonsense. I never go to bars, and they force me to go." Luo Wentao defended hurriedly.

Hou Hu and Yang Yang rolled their eyes, obviously too lazy to expose him.

Lin Jinse and his party entered the building and were greeted by a waitress wearing a cheongsam and asked for the reserved room number.

Lin Jinse told him, the waitress smiled deeply, her eyes swept over the four teenagers behind her, and said with a smile: "Please follow me."

When they arrived at the door of the private room, the waitress suddenly clenched her fist and made a cheering gesture, and said to them: "Come on!"

The four of them were confused when Jian Yi was there, but Lin Jinse pursed her lips and smiled softly, and responded politely: "Thank you."

When the private room door opened, they suddenly realized.

The private room is large, spacious and bright, and decorated in a simple and elegant manner, but there are two banners hanging on the left and right walls. One read: Congratulations to Ah Shi for winning the Lingqing Cup for three consecutive years, and the other read: Congratulations to Ah Shi for winning the gold medal in the National Championships.

There are many love balloons floating on the roof of the private room, gold, pink, and blue, very girly; on the coffee table in the corner of the private room, there is a bouquet of fiery red roses, filling the room with fragrance.

Lin Jinse coughed lightly and said awkwardly: "I asked them to help decorate it, but I didn't expect them to decorate it like this."

After everyone was stunned for a moment, Luo Wentao laughed loudly, "I think the arrangement is quite good. Sister Fairy is really thoughtful."

As he spoke, he patted Jian Yishi's shoulder heavily, "Ah Shi, do you think so?"

Jian Yishi gave him a cold look like she was looking at an i***t. She glanced at Lin Jinse lightly, but without saying anything, she walked to the table, pulled out a stool and sat down. She spoke like a boss, "Let's eat."

Lin Jinse hurriedly asked the waiter to serve the food. Luo Wentao came over and whispered: "Sister, I will add you on WeChat and send the video to you."

Lin Jinse agreed, clicked on her WeChat business card and asked Luo Wentao to scan it. Hou Feng and Yang Yang also came over and wanted to add her to WeChat, so Lin Jinse naturally did not refuse.

Only Jian Yi remained unmoved and showed no interest in Jialin Jinse’s WeChat messages.

"Sister, is this your cat?" Luo Wentao clicked on Lin Jinse's WeChat profile picture. It was a ragdoll cat lying on the sofa. It had snow-white fur, black tips at the tips of its ears, sapphire-like eyes, and its chubby head tilted on the sofa, staring at you stupidly.

Lin Jinse was stunned for a moment, and thought of how the pear blossom she picked up was so coincidental that it looked so similar to her meow, and how Jian Yishi was wearing a mask and sneezing continuously that day. It was such a coincidence.

She turned her head and glanced at Jian Yi, could it be...

When he met Jian Yi, his eyes that he accidentally looked over were as cold as frost.

Lin Jinse quickly looked away and gave up the idea. It must really be a coincidence.

Soon the table was filled with dishes, almost all of which were Jian Yi’s favorite dishes.

It can be seen that Lin Jinse has done enough work beforehand.

"Since it's a celebration, how can there be no wine!?" Hou Jian said.

Luo Wentao seconded: "Yes, there must be wine!"

Even Yang Yang, who had always been calm, nodded in agreement.

Jian Yishi said nothing and looked at Lin Jinse. Seeing them all looking at him, Lin Jinse hesitated and said, "You are both underage, so I'm afraid you can't drink."

Luo Wentao smiled and said: "Sister, I am in May, Monkey is in July, and Lazy is in August. The three of us are all adults, and we are only eighteen in half a month."

Lin Jinse nodded, "Okay, then Ah Shi can't drink."

Jian Yi frowned: "Why can't I drink?"

Lin Jinse said sternly: "You are not an adult yet."

Jian Yishi stared at her coldly: "Pedantic, it's only half a month, is there any difference?!"

Lin Jinse nodded seriously: "I think there is still some."

"What if I insist on drinking?" Jian Yishi sneered.

Lin Jinse looked away and sighed, "Then what can I do, but I can't stop your mouth."

Luo Wentao and the three of them couldn't help but laugh out loud. It turned out that the fairy sister was also timid.

Jian Yishi raised her peach blossom eyes slightly and smiled, "It's not impossible."

Lin Jinse looked at him: "What can we do?"

"You drink for me." Jian Yi looked at her with a half-smile.

Lin Jinse blinked, and her soft and red petal-like lips formed a slight straight line, revealing a hint of stubbornness. She nodded, "Okay, it's a deal."

"How can that be done? How can you bully the fairy sister!" Luo Wentao was dissatisfied, "In the worst case, I will drink it for you."

"Go away, who wants you to take my place?" Jian Yishi gave him a cold look.

This meal lasted for nearly two hours. Everyone enjoyed the meal and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

Maybe it’s because she’s really happy, but Jian Yi, who has always been cold and indifferent, loves to smile especially tonight. When she smiles, her beautiful peach blossom eyes, with slightly upward lines at the end of the eyes, perfectly echo the two sword eyebrows. She is really a bright eye that captures people’s hearts.

Lin Jinse actually had a pretty good drinking capacity. At first, she just clinked glasses with the three young men and took a small sip. Unexpectedly, the wine seemed to have a hook. The more she drank, the happier she became. Later, she toasted with them with great arrogance.

"Come on, let's do it!" Lin Jinse stood up, walked to the three teenagers, and clinked glasses with them one by one.

Then, before they could drink it, she raised her head, exposed her slender neck, and drank the red wine in the glass in one gulp.

Luo Wentao and the other three were stunned. Lin Jinse walked up to Jian Yishi again and said, "Ah Shi, I respect you. I congratulate you today and wish you even better results!"

As he spoke, Lin Jinse refilled his glass and raised his glass to Jian Yishi. He raised his head and was about to drink it when the glass was snatched away by Jian Yishi. His slightly raised peach blossom eyes were full of coldness, "You're crazy, don't drink anymore!"

Lin Jinse suddenly laughed. Under the bright white light, her fair and beautiful face became extremely vivid. Her voice was clear and soft, "Didn't you ask me to drink it for you? Why didn't you let me drink it?"

When I was concise, I just felt like my breathing was stagnant.

As soon as he was distracted, Lin Jinse snatched the cup back and drank it in one gulp. She drank so fast that she choked on the wine and couldn't help but bend over and cough violently.

Jian Yi was immediately at a loss. Luo Wentao reacted faster. He hurriedly took out a few tissues, walked to Lin Jinse, and handed the paper to her.

Lin Jinse took the paper, raised her head and said thank you to Luo Wentao. Her face was flushed, and her clear eyes were filled with mist, which was very pitiful.

After she thanked her, she lowered her head and coughed.

Luo Wentao subconsciously wanted to reach out and pat her on the back.

Jian Yishi suddenly rushed forward and put her arms around Lin Jinse's shoulders. At the same time, a cold knife-like eye swept over her, making Luo Wentao shudder.

Luo Wentao's hand froze in mid-air, and he looked at Jian Yi as he half-hugged Lin Jinse into his arms, and then helped her walk to the rest area.

Lin Jinse felt uncomfortable coughing and felt dizzy, so she did not refuse and allowed Jian Yishi to help her walk.

Walking to the edge of the sofa, Lin Jinse sat down. As soon as she touched the sofa, she felt even more dizzy. She raised her head and said pitifully: "I'm dizzy and want to sleep."

Hearing this, Jian Yishi took off his coat and covered her body, "Then take a nap."

Lin Jinse bent down to take off her shoes, but her hands were weak and she couldn't take off the boots on her feet. Jian Yisi squatted down, held her feet, and helped her take off the boots.

Lin Jinse stared at him blankly for a while, her mind a little confused. She whispered "Thank you" and lay on her side on the sofa. She curled up her legs like a baby curled up in its mother's body, revealing her snow-white and slender fingers grasping the coat covering her body.

When Jian Yishi saw her closing her eyes, she walked out of the lounge and returned to the hall.

Luo Wentao and the three of them sat together and looked at Jian Yishi with burning eyes.

Luo Wentao didn't hold back and asked first: "Ah Shi, you don't, don't you like the fairy sister?"

Jian Yishi was stunned for a moment and looked at them with a frown, "What nonsense are you talking about!"

Luo Wentao breathed a sigh of relief, "But we see that you treat the fairy sister differently."

This was the first time they had seen him help girls twist bottle caps, cover girls' clothes, and even help take off their shoes.

"I just feel sorry for her." Jian Yishi pulled out the stool, sat down, and said coldly.

Jian Yishi told them about Lin Jinse's family affairs. Luo Wentao and the other three fell silent, and Yang Yang even turned red.

"Ah Shi, you are not allowed to bully Sister Fairy in the future. If you bully her again, I, no, we will not spare you!" Luo Wentao said.

Jian Yishi sneered: "Oh, why don't you spare me?!"

Hou Jian and Yang Yang waved their hands repeatedly, "We didn't say that..."

　　……

The four young people ate something more and chatted for a while. Jian Yishi saw that it was getting late, so he asked them to go back first.

"Sister, wait for me, sister..."

"Sister, where are you? Sister..."

In the dream, a three or four-year-old boy always sticks behind little Jinse. Wherever she goes, he follows her, like a little tail that cannot be shaken off.

Xiao Jinse was so annoyed that she walked very fast. She didn't wait for him and deliberately hid so that he couldn't find her. The little crybaby sat on the ground and cried loudly.

She was afraid that her crying would attract her parents, so she had to stop and wait for him. She had no choice but to appear in front of him and threaten him: "Don't cry. If you cry again, I will never ignore you again."

The little crybaby immediately beamed, holding her arm and calling her, "Sister, Jinnian likes my sister the most..."

Xiao Jinse rolled her eyes and pinched his hand in disgust, but I hate you so much.

The scene changed. The little boy had grown up and was a head taller than her. Now he was running in front and she was chasing behind him.

But no matter how hard she chased, she couldn't catch up. There was fog and white all around. She cried and shouted: "Jinnian, where are you? Come back, come back, okay?"

The fog gradually dissipated, and Jinse was no longer a child. She became a graceful girl. Her mother appeared in front of her. She was overjoyed, wiped her tears, and called her: "Mom, Mom, I miss you so much..."

But her mother didn't seem to see her, muttering "Jinnian"'s name, turned around and left.

Jinse became anxious and got up to chase her. The fog filled the air again and her mother disappeared.

"Mom!" She was running around in the fog and bumped into someone. She raised her head and saw the person's face clearly, it was her father.

She hugged her father in surprise and said, "Dad, don't leave, don't leave Xiaojin alone."

Dad touched her head and said, "Sorry, Xiaojin, dad is going to find mom. Look, she is waiting for me there."

As her father opened her fingers one by one, Jinse cried, "No, Dad, don't leave, don't leave me!"

But her father disappeared, and her whole body suddenly sank. She fell into the water. The water was bitingly cold, and in front of her eyes was a suffocating gray-green.

She was so desperate and frightened that she could not reach the bottom of her feet and could not see the sky with her head. She had given up struggling and allowed herself to sink.

Jinnian is gone, her mother is gone, and her father is gone. They all abandoned her and left her. What's the point of living alone in this world?

There was a pop and someone jumped into the water.

A handsome but somewhat childish face appeared in front of him. It was Jinnian, a twelve-year-old Jinnian.

He put his hands under her armpits and lifted her up. Lin Jinse stretched out her hands and pushed him hard, shouting anxiously: "Jinnian, go away, leave me alone, leave me alone!"

Lin Jinse became anxious, sat up, and woke up. With tears in her eyes, she saw Jinnian right in front of her.

She rubbed her eyes. Jinnian was really in front of her. She felt that she must still be dreaming. She couldn't help but stretched out her hands to hold his face. Tears fell down. Then she hugged his neck and cried: "Why don't you leave? Why don't you obey? Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..."

When I was concise, my brain buzzed and my brain went blank.

He put his hands on the edge of the sofa to prevent Lin Jinse from falling on top of her due to Lin Jinse's sudden hug around her neck. His arms were stretched straight, the veins on the back of his hands were slightly bulging, and his fingers unconsciously pinched into the soft sofa.
