Obsession’s Edge

Chapter 18

Lin Jinse was a little out of breath from being hugged by him. Her heart was beating fast and wildly for no reason. She always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't tell. She patted his back gently: "Ah Shi, let go, I'm a little out of breath."

Jian Yishi reluctantly let go of her.

Then Lin Jinse led him to skate for a long time. Seeing that he seemed to have almost mastered it, he let him practice by himself.

Lin Jinse slid out on her own, and with the rhythm of the increasingly dynamic music, she slid to the brightly lit place in the center of the field, spinning, jumping, and dancing.

Her outstanding appearance, outstanding figure, and outstanding skills have attracted several "crazy bees and butterflies".

They often pick up girls here, and they have all kinds of tricks at their fingertips.

A boy in gray clothes came up first and rushed towards Lin Jinse deliberately.

Lin Jinse avoided him nimbly, not wanting another boy in red to rush over from the other direction.

At the same time, there was a boy in black approaching slowly. He was just waiting for his companion to knock Lin Jinse away. He appeared in time and came to the rescue as a hero.

Lin Jinse was shocked. The opponent was too fast, and she was about to be unable to dodge. Another figure rushed over from beside him, like a bolt of lightning. He directly knocked away the malicious boy in red, and stretched out a solid arm to wrap around her slender waist.

With his power, Lin Jinse jumped lightly, her feet lifted off the ground, and she flew up. She looked sideways at him, and her hanging heart fell back to its original place, settling down.

Jian Yishi held her and spun her around, then put her down and held her hand instead, and the two stopped.

The three young men gathered around, Jian Yishi's cold gaze swept over the three of them one by one, and snorted without emotion, neither light nor heavy, but full of pressure: "Get out of here."

The three of them are young, about the same age as Jian Yishi. They have also been immersed in society for many years and have come into contact with all kinds of people. Their intuition tells them that Jian Yishi is a difficult person to deal with. If they can't afford conflict, it's best to leave them alone.

The three of them exchanged glances with each other. The boy in black was the first to turn around and leave, followed by the other two.

Lin Jinse lost the mood to continue playing and said, "Let's go back."

"Yes." Jian Yishi could no longer pretend, and slid skillfully, holding Lin Jinse tightly towards the exit.

Lin Jinse twitched her hand several times, but couldn't pull it out.

The two changed their shoes, left the skating rink, and went their separate ways without speaking.

In the end, Lin Jinse couldn't control his anger and asked him: "Why did you lie to me?"

Jian Yi turned to look at her. Under the soft light, her little face was slightly flushed, and her angry look was so cute and smart that people couldn't help but want to pinch it.

Jian Yi endured it again and again before she could hold it back, and asked with a half-smile, "When did I lie to you?"

Lin Jinse stopped, turned around, faced him face to face, and said with some disbelief: "You obviously know how to pulley, but you said you can't, and I still teach you..."

The more Lin Jinse talked, the angrier she became. She felt like she was being played, and her beautiful face turned red.

Jian Yi couldn't hold it back for a moment and chuckled, "When did I say I couldn't do it anymore?"

Lin Jinse recalled it carefully and found out that he really hadn't said that. She became more and more depressed and unhappy. She just glared at him with her dark and clear eyes, turned around and left.

Jian Yishi suddenly reached out and grabbed her wrist, pulling her, and a deep and pleasant voice came over the wind, "Sister, for the sake of my birthday today, don't be angry, okay?"

This was the second time that he called her sister, and it was a bit coquettish. Lin Jinse's little birdiness disappeared instantly, and she couldn't help but laugh softly.

When I got home, it was almost eleven o'clock.

Zhang Qianhua was still reading in the living room. When she saw them coming back, she quickly put down her books and stood up, "Ah Shi, you are back. Are you hungry? I have prepared a midnight snack for you."

Jian Yishi didn't even look at her. He walked straight past her and when he reached the stairs, he stopped and said in a cold voice, "I'm not hungry."

Although he still had a cold voice and a cold face, it was enough to make Zhang Qianhua happy. At least he answered her words, instead of not even speaking to her like before.

Lin Jinse and Zhang Qianhua talked for a while and then yawned. Zhang Qianhua urged Lin Jinse to go to rest quickly and said, "Well, the gift I gave Ah Shi is in your room. You can help me bring it to Ah Shi tomorrow."

Lin Jinse agreed and went upstairs.

Back in the room, Lin Jinse took a shower, put on pajamas and pants, and walked to the desk.

The gift Zhang Qianhua gave to Jian Yi was placed on her desk.

She also prepared a gift herself, but she hadn't given it out yet. She originally thought it would be so late and would give it away tomorrow, but she didn't want to delay Zhang Qianhua's gift. If it was too late, it would lack sincerity.

So Lin Jinse casually picked up a knitted jacket and put it on, took two gifts, went to the door opposite Jianyishi, and buttoned it twice.

After a long while, Jian Yi opened the door.

A strong wave of hot air mixed with the cool and clean shower gel and the faint smell of mellow wine hit your face.

The young man had also just taken a shower, and seemed to have been drunk. His fair and handsome face was slightly red, his peach blossom eyes were slightly raised, and his eyes were dark and heavy.

He was wearing a white T-shirt, and the water on his body had not been wiped off. The T-shirt clung to his body, outlining his slender and powerful body, as well as his vaguely visible waist and abdomen lines.

Lin Jinse felt inexplicably panicked when he stared straight at him, and turned around to run away.

Jian Yishi reached out and grabbed her wrist, calling her softly: "Sister, where is my gift?"

Lin Jinse suddenly came to his senses, yes, she knocked on his door in the middle of the night just for a gift.

She took a deep breath, calmed down, turned around, and handed the gift she was carrying in her right hand to him, "This is a gift from my aunt."

Jian Yishi's expression instantly turned cold, and she lowered her eyes and looked at her without answering.

Lin Jinse had no choice but to take out another gift that was carried behind her back and handed it over, "This is my gift to you, happy birthday."

Jian Yishi's expression softened, and when he reached out to take the gift bag, he held her hand. With a gentle pull, she was pulled in. With the other hand, she pulled the door handle and closed the door.

Lin Jinse was startled by his actions, and her heart kept beating.

Fortunately, after Jian Yi pulled her in, he let go of her hand and walked inside only carrying the bag.

Lin Jinse followed in, found a suitable place, and put down Zhang Qianhua's gift.

Jian Yishi sat down on the bed, opened the bag, lowered her head and looked inside, then raised her head to look at Lin Jinse, her eyes bright, "Scarf?"

Lin Jinse nodded.

"Did you knit it?" Jian Yishi asked again.

He once saw Lin Jinse and Aunt Chen asking for advice on how to weave towels. They were sitting side by side on the sofa. One was teaching seriously and the other was focused on learning.

"Yeah." Lin Jinse nodded again, "The weaving is not very good, don't dislike it."

Jian Yi lowered his head and said nothing.

He carefully took out the scarf from the bag. It was royal blue, bright but not too dazzling.

His hand touched it gently, it was extremely soft and warm, making a corner of his heart become soft and warm.

He raised his head, his dark eyes as bright as gems, and smiled at Lin Jinse, radiant and breathtaking, "I like this gift very much, thank you."

Lin Jinse also laughed, and her nervousness gradually dissipated, "As long as you like it."

Jian Yi stood up and walked to the mirror, wrapped the scarf around her neck, turned around and asked Lin Jinse, "How are you doing?"

Lin Jinse saw that his scarf was not tied well, so she walked up to him, turned her back to the mirror, stood on tiptoes, stretched out her hand to help him tidy it up, then put down her hands, dropped her toes back on the wooden floor, and smiled with satisfaction: "It looks good."

Jian Yi looked down at her. She was wearing a pink and blue floral cotton pajamas. Her long hair was casually held with clips, revealing her slender neck and slender nape, which looked like smooth white jade against the black hair.

There is a small black mole on the back of her slender porcelain white neck, which adds a sense of sexiness and charm to her elegant and gentle temperament.

Jian Yi felt short of breath inexplicably, and had an urge to kiss her.

When Lin Jinse looked at him like this, he became a little flustered. He lowered his head and said hesitantly: "Well, I'll go back and rest first."

After saying that, she ran away, but Jian Yishi suddenly stretched out her arm to rest on the mirror, blocking her way.

Jian Yi forced himself to move his eyes away from her collarbone and unconsciously fell on her lips.

The lips glowed with moisture under the light, as pink and attractive as flowers.

He couldn't help but think of the time he secretly kissed her after she fell asleep drunk. The sweet and soft touch still reminded him of it.

It's really going crazy. Why is she so attractive everywhere? Jian Yi suddenly felt a little irritable, and her tall Adam's apple rolled slowly against her neck.

The two people were only two centimeters apart, and their breathing was intertwined.

Lin Jinse smelled the aroma of alcohol and body wash mixed with his body. It was fragrant but clean. She didn't know what he was going to do. Was he going crazy after drinking too much?

Her heart was in her throat, and she placed her hands on the mirror. The cold touch kept her awake. As long as he acted inappropriately, she would immediately push him away.

Jian Yi tilted her head slightly, brought her lips to Lin Jinse's ear, breathed softly, her voice was so low that it was almost hoarse, "Sister, I'm an adult. We..."

As he spoke, his lips touched her earlobe, and his warm breath gently touched her ear.

Lin Jinse suddenly felt an electric current rushing from her ears to the tip of her heart. She pushed him away, jumped away, and turned her back to him, "I, I understand."

After saying that, she rushed to the bedroom door without looking back, opened it, slammed it shut, and fled.

Jian Yishi watched her back disappear behind the door, walked back to the bed, turned her back to the bed, and fell down.

He lay on his back on the bed, gently stroking the scarf around his neck with his fingers, facing the ceiling, and smiled softly, "No, sister, you don't know."

Sister, you don’t know, you don’t know that I dream about you every night, you don’t know what I want to do to you...

　　**

Early the morning after Jian Yishi's birthday, he received a recall order from the team, asking him to quickly return to the team to participate in training and prepare for the provincial competition in March next year.

Jian Yi left in a hurry. Before he left, he stood in front of Lin Jinse's door for a long time, but he never waited until she got up.

Lin Jinse had insomnia last night. She didn't know what was going on. She tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep. As soon as she closed her eyes, Jian Yi's dark and heavy eyes were so bright that it made her heart palpitate.

She even had a ridiculous dream.

She dreamed that she was kissing a man in the ice and snow. After the kiss, she looked up and saw that the man was Jian Yi. She was so frightened that she woke up and almost rolled out of bed.

Lin Jinse was so ashamed that she couldn't see anyone, so she hid in the room after getting up and didn't go out until lunch.

When she was eating, she learned that Jian Yishi had returned to the provincial team, and she was relieved.

Time flies so fast, Christmas Eve is here in the blink of an eye.

Together, Lin Jinse and Zhang Qianhua hung colored lights on the trees in the courtyard, and bought a tall Christmas tree to decorate in the living room.

In the evening, the sky darkened, the cold wind blew, and it seemed like it was going to snow.

Lin Jinse stood alone on the corridor, holding the remote control in his hand and lighting up the colored lights on the trees. In an instant, countless colored lights lit up, flickering and illuminating the gray sky.

She missed her parents again. They used to decorate their home beautifully at Christmas time.

The cell phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated. Lin Jinse took it out and looked at it. It was Song Qiaoyan who he hadn't contacted for a long time.

Lin Jinse thought that he was probably calling to send blessings. He picked up the phone and said, "Brother Qiao Yan."

"Xiao Jin, where are you now?" Song Qiaoyan asked.

Lin Jinse said: "I'm at my aunt's house, where are you? Are there any scenes to be filmed today?"

Song Qiaoyan laughed heartily, "Guess where I am?"

At this time, the doorbell rang in the lobby of the villa. Lin Jinse happened to be not far from the video phone, so he walked over to see who it was and said to Song Qiaoyan, "I can't guess, where are you?"

Lin Jinse said that she had already entered the room and stood in front of the video phone. Then she was stunned.

In the clear picture of the video phone, Song Qiaoyan was wearing a camel-colored woolen coat with a white turtleneck sweater underneath, standing there in the wind.

Lin Jinse's eyes suddenly widened, she let out a soft "Ah" and stared at the video phone stupidly.

"What? Don't you welcome me?" Song Qiaoyan smiled gently and gracefully, making people feel like a spring breeze.

Lin Jinse came to her senses and hurriedly opened the door for him, then trotted out of the villa and ran towards the door.

Zhang Qianhua was sitting in the living room drinking tea. She was startled when she saw Lin Jinse standing in front of the video phone, and then ran away happily like a little rabbit. She couldn't help but ask: "Xiao Jin, who is it?"

Lin Jinse walked down the stairs and said back to her, "It's brother Qiao Yan. It's brother Qiao Yan who's here to see me."

Zhang Qianhua smiled, it turned out that the little bamboo horse was here.

Lin Jinse ran very fast. When she was still some distance away from Song Qiaoyan, she stopped and panted heavily.

Song Qiaoyan walked towards her step by step, walked up to her, suddenly reached out his hand and took her into his arms.

Lin Jinse's nose became sore and her eyes turned red. She endured it again and again, but she still couldn't hold it back, and her tears fell down.

Song Qiaoyan let go of her, lowered his head and raised his hands to wipe away her tears, "Xiao Jin, don't cry, it's my fault. I should have come to you earlier."

Lin Jinse shook his head, "I'm fine, I'm just so happy. Brother Qiao Yan, we haven't seen each other in almost a year."

The two were talking here, and Zhang Qianhua came over.

"Hello Aunt Qian." Song Qiaoyan stood next to Lin Jinse, holding her hand and politely saying hello to Zhang Qianhua.

Zhang Qianhua was very pleased to see them standing together, like a couple, and nodded, "Qiao Yan, long time no see, you have really grown up."

"Yes, the last time I saw Aunt Qian, I remember it was the Spring Festival four years ago." Song Qiaoyan said.

Zhang Qianhua's smile deepened. She had always liked Song Qiaoyan and thought he was a warm and kind child.

Zhang Qianhua said: "Let's go, it's very cold outside, it might snow, let's go inside and talk."

Lin Jinse and Song Qiaoyan naturally agreed, and the three of them walked towards the villa while talking.

Not long after, Jian Lanyi also came back. He also had a very good impression of Song Qiaoyan, and they all had dinner together.

After dinner, Song Qiaoyan proposed to take Lin Jinse out for the festival. Zhang Qianhua and Jian Lanyi naturally agreed and asked Uncle Wang to drive them to the city center.

At about seven o'clock in the evening, the first snow of this winter, which had been brewing all day, had not yet fallen. Instead, it started to rain, and it continued for more than an hour. Later, it was mixed with small snow particles, floating in the air, and melted when it fell to the ground. Slowly the rain stopped, and the snow began to fall heavily. It was falling like a cotton ball, turning the whole world into a pure white.

Lin Jinse and Song Qiaoyan got out of the car and went straight to Xinhua Cinema.

Song Qiaoyan had already booked tickets online for the 8:10 movie.

Entering the cinema, a few girls kept staring at Song Qiaoyan and whispering.

"Look at that boy, does he look like Song Qiaoyan?"

"It seems like that, maybe it is."

"How is it possible? My Qiao Yan is still filming in Hengdian."

Song Qiaoyan heard their discussions and inquiring eyes. He subconsciously let go of Lin Jinse's hand and strode forward without waiting for Lin Jinse.

The moment Lin Jinse's hand was let go by Song Qiaoyan, her heart sank uncontrollably. She felt panicked and scared. She wanted to call him out, but she suddenly understood his concerns and swallowed back the "Brother Qiaoyan" that was on her lips.

At this time, her phone vibrated slightly. She clicked it and saw that it was from Song Qiaoyan.

[Xiao Jin, I'm afraid some fans will recognize me. Let's split up. I'll get the tickets and you can buy some food. See you in the movie theater later. ]

Lin Jinse raised her eyes and glanced at Song Qiaoyan's back, sighed softly, and replied to him: OK.

When Jian Yi returned to downtown Beiling, it was already 10:30 at night, but the streets were still very lively, with busy cars and people, and the faint sound of joyful Christmas songs could be heard.

Jianyi was sitting in a taxi and was stuck in the bustling city center.

He sneezed several times. The driver turned his head and asked with concern: "Young man, are you okay?"

Jian Yishi shook his head and said calmly: "It's okay."

The driver continued to chat with him, "You are rushing back from Yanshan in such a hurry to celebrate the holidays with your girlfriend, right?"

If it was normal, Jian Yi would not pay attention at all, but when the driver asked this question, Lin Jinse's appearance appeared in front of his eyes.

She stood under the bare pear tree, raising her head slightly to look at the starry sky. The frost-white moonlight enveloped her and shone on her fair and beautiful face, just like a snow-white pear blossom in spring.

Jian Yi lowered his head, raised the corners of his lips slightly, and gave a soft "hmm".

The driver sighed with emotion: "It's great to be young! In order to see my girlfriend, I drove such a long way in this snowy day..."

Jian Yishi didn't answer his question this time. She just turned to look out the window. The neon lights were flashing on the street, and many young lovers wearing Santa hats were holding hands and cuddling tightly together. It was so sweet.

The training base of the provincial fencing team is at the foot of Yanshan Mountain in Yanshan Town, more than 100 kilometers away from Beiling City. The base has beautiful mountains and clear waters and pleasant scenery, but it is far away from Yanshan Town, and it is still nearly 20 kilometers from the foot of the mountain to the town.

Jian Yishi had already planned a secret trip back to Beiling on Christmas Eve. She had already arranged a car last night.

They had to hand in their mobile phones when they started training every day. When Jian Yishi finished training, it was already 7 o'clock. When he got his mobile phone back, he found that the online ride-hailing driver had called him five or six times and finally sent him a text message telling him that he had something to do and could not pick him up.

It was not easy for Jian Yi to book a ride at this time, so he simply walked to Yanshan Town and took a ride.

He ran and walked along more than 20 kilometers of mountain roads, and it took him more than 2 hours to reach the town.

It was raining, snowing, windy and snowy along the way. Although he was wearing a thick waterproof down jacket, he was still soaked to the skin after more than 2 hours, but he didn't feel cold at all. When he thought about seeing Lin Jinse, he even felt the blood surge all over his body.

In the town, Jian Yishi stopped a taxi and offered 1,000 yuan. The driver was not stupid. It was only an hour away. If he gave 1,000 yuan, it would be a huge profit, so he quickly agreed.

The driver chatted with Jian Yishi along the way, but Jian Yishi ignored him all the time. Apart from urging him to drive faster, it was only now that he returned to Beiling City that Jian Yi became a little more easy-going.

However, I just said a few words to him and then kept silent. The driver had no choice but to shut his mouth in a sullen manner.

Outside the window, the snow was still falling, but it was smaller. It was really beautiful with the dim yellow street lights flying all over the sky.

But he had no intention of admiring Jian Yi. He touched the small gift box in the inner pocket of his down jacket. He just hoped to pass through the city center quickly so that he could see Lin Jinse quickly.

However, when he retracted his gaze and looked out the window, he caught a glimpse of a girl from the corner of his eye, who looked very much like Lin Jinse.

He couldn't help but turn his head and look again.

At the entrance of the cinema, the girl was wearing a long white down jacket and a red scarf. Her black hair was draped over her shoulders like seaweed. She was holding a bucket of popcorn in one hand and picked up a popcorn with the other and put it in her mouth.

She stood there quietly, like an orchid in an empty valley, making people feel beautiful and peaceful.

Jian Yi's heart was beating wildly. How could she be here? Could this be fate? He wanted to see her sooner, but she just appeared in front of him.

Jian Yishi was thinking in his mind and reached out to pull the car door. The door was locked. He locked his eyes on Lin Jinse and said: "Master, open the door, I want to get out of the car!"

The driver was stunned for a moment and confirmed with him: "Young man, are you sure you want to get off here?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Open the door quickly!" Jian Yi's words showed impatience.

The driver was not angry and hurriedly unlocked the car for him. After all, he had already paid 1,000 yuan. It was certainly a good thing that he got off the car early.

At this time, the traffic flow in the driveway was stagnant. Jian Yi opened the door and ran towards the cinema opposite.

The driver also saw the girl at the door of the cinema, watching the young man desperately running towards the girl he loved, and sighed again: "Tsk, tsk, it's great to be young."

Jian Yi crossed the traffic and came to the other side of the street. He stood under a sycamore tree with all its leaves. He looked down at himself. His clothes were still wet and he was a little embarrassed, but it still did not affect his handsomeness.

He raised his head and was about to walk towards Lin Jinse when he saw a boy walking out of the cinema.

He was quite tall and wore a black peaked cap on his head. He had a handsome face and an upright posture. He opened a dark blue umbrella to cover Lin Jinse's head, and reached out to take the popcorn bucket in her hand.

Lin Jinse smiled sweetly at him, put her snow-like fingers into the popcorn bucket, picked up a piece of popcorn, and fed it to the boy's mouth.

The boy smiled lovingly at her, and when he opened his mouth to hold the popcorn, he seemed to accidentally touch her finger.

Lin Jinse lowered her head in astonishment, and a faint smile bloomed on her soft lips, like a water lotus that was shy in the cool breeze.
