In the afternoon, outside the Yan family gate.
A car was parked not far from the gate.
Ji Juechuan leaned back on his seat and stared deeply at the door of Yan’s house without making any move.
The driver glanced at him in the rearview mirror several times and did not dare to ask questions. He could only sit in the driver’s seat and wait quietly.
After waiting for a few more minutes, Ji Juechuan said, “Let’s go over there.”
The driver quickly stepped on the accelerator and drove the car to the door.
Because the time for the visit had been arranged in advance, the door of Yan’s house had been opened, and the housekeeper was waiting beside the door.
Seeing the car appear, the housekeeper immediately came up to him, opened the door for Ji Juechuan, and said in a polite tone: “Mr. Ji, our Master is already waiting inside. Come with me.”
Ji Juechuan nodded and followed him in.
When passing by the fountain pool, Ji Juechuan stopped in his tracks and was inexplicably attracted to the fountain.
The butler stopped, followed his gaze, and with a smile in his eyes, introduced him: “This is the fountain designed by our young master.”
Ji Juechuan was startled for a moment, and subconsciously repeated: “Young master?”
The butler nodded and sounded a little proud, as if he was talking about his own child: “Yes, this is a gift from our young master to his mother.”
Ji Juechuan looked at the fountain pool again.
Although it was not as exquisite and complex as the designs of those masters, it was very clever. The simple design combined with splashing water made the scenery in the yard dazzling.
He took another deep look before following the butler and continuing inside.
After walking for a while, Ji Juechuan noticed that there were many lights along the way, not just street lights, but also floor lights and wall lights.
He looked thoughtfully at the lights in front of him.
The housekeeper noticed his gaze and took the initiative to explain to him: “Our young master is a little afraid of the dark, so we have a lot of lights in the house and turn them on in the evening.”
Ji Juechuan moved his fingers.
Yan Yan was also afraid of the dark.
This similarity made him tremble and he lowered his eyes.
Walking into the living room of the villa, a man stood up and stretched out his hand: “Hello, Mr. Ji.”
The man looked about forty or fifty years old, with a majestic appearance and shrewd eyes.
Ji Juechuan paused for a moment before holding his hand: “Hello.”
Yan Kaicheng asked him to sit down on the sofa.
“I wonder why Mr. Ji came to visit in person?”
Lu Ji only mentioned on the phone that there was a cooperation that needed to be renegotiated, but he did not say which one it was. He could not think of any of their cooperation that Ji Juechuan would pay so much attention to. To the point that he had to still come to his door in person.
After Ji Juechuan came in, he secretly looked around the living room, and the hand on his lap slowly clenched into a fist.
He was so familiar with Yan Yan that he could confirm that this was the place where Yan Yan lived almost as soon as he entered.
You could see the traces left by Yan Yan everywhere in the living room: you could see the half-heartedly read book with a bookmark, the watercolor painting hanging next to the paintings worth billions, the doll placed on the grand piano, and the cute little girly hanging ornaments on the door handles.
He could even imagine Yan Yan living here.
Yan Kaicheng didn’t wait for his answer and asked again in confusion.
Ji Juechuan came back to his senses, took out the documents he brought from the company, and focused on the documents in front of him.
After the cooperation discussion was over, Yan Kaicheng relaxed a little and asked the servant to make another pot of tea and bring it over.
Ji Juechuan suddenly said: “Mr. Yan, I wonder which famous artist that painting was made by?”
Yan Kaicheng thought he would be asking about the painting on the wall that was bought for hundreds of millions in an auction, but he didn’t expect that when he looked where he was gazing, he found that he was asking about the watercolor painting next to it.
His tense expression suddenly relaxed, a smile appeared on his face, and he told him proudly: “Mr. Ji don’t laugh, that’s my son’s painting, it was given to me as a birthday gift, and I hung it on the wall.”
The watercolor painting hung in the middle of the wall, and hundreds of millions worth of paintings hung next to it, as if to back it up.
Ji Juechuan’s eyes flashed slightly: “He is very talented.”
Yan Kaicheng’s smile deepened and he spoke a little more unknowingly.
When Yan Kaicheng talked about Yan Yan’s studio, Ji Juechuan asked calmly: “Can I visit his studio?”
Yan Kaicheng now only regarded him as a person who was interested in paintings, and he should not reject his request, he could also take the opportunity to see if Yan Yan was upstairs.
Unexpectedly, Yan Kaicheng not only refused to agree to this simple request, but also stopped talking.
The host no longer took the initiative to find topics, so the guest should leave.
Ji Juechuan glanced upstairs, stopped, stood up and said goodbye.
After sitting back in the car, he didn’t ask the driver to drive immediately. Instead, he opened the car window and took a deep look at the Yan family house.
The curtains in the room on the second floor were drawn, and there was no movement.
Although Yan Kaicheng had chatted a lot with him just now, if he thought about it carefully, he had only touched on all the topics without revealing any information about Yan Yan.
The only information he knew now was that Yan Yan was still studying.
It seemed that Yan Kaicheng protected Yan Yan very well. His questions just now might have made Yan Kaicheng wary.
Although there was nothing gained from this trip, and he didn’t even see Yan Yan’s face, Ji Juechuan still felt relieved.
At least he confirmed that Yan Yan was also in this world.
Maybe Yan Yan was also looking for him anxiously.
Doubts about this world only flashed through Ji Juechuan’s mind. Now he was so eager to see Yan Yan that he really had no energy to think about anything else.
Ji Juechuan returned to the company, continued to sit behind his desk and just be distracted.
He took out a piece of paper, wrote down the information he had just heard, and circled a few words on it.
Although Yan Kaicheng did not tell him Yan Yan’s school, with the Yan family’s status, there were only a few aristocratic colleges that they could choose from, and he should be able to find him out soon.
Ji Juechuan turned on his computer, found all the aristocratic colleges in Beicheng, and screened them one by one.
When Lu Ji came in, he saw what he was writing on the paper.
He thought Ji Juechuan had finally returned to normal and had started working, so he breathed a sigh of relief and sent the documents over.
Unexpectedly, he casually glanced at the piece of paper and saw that all the names of the aristocratic colleges were written on it.
Lu Ji felt like he was struck by lightning.
Ji Juechuan actually neglected his job to such an extent. Was this the end of the world?
An hour later, Ji Juechuan circled a few college names, put the paper in his pocket, and hurried out.
He couldn’t wait to send someone to check, he just wanted to find the person himself immediately.
Yan Yan would probably burst into tears if he couldn’t see him again.
The car was driving quickly on the highway. Ji Juechuan held the steering wheel tightly and looked straight ahead.
Now that he had calmed down, he had the energy to think about the world.
At first, he thought he was in a parallel world, and that he and Yan Yan were not in love in this parallel world.
But he gradually discovered that this world was so consistent with Yan Yan.
There was a voice telling him that Yan Yan originally belonged here.
If this was the place where Yan Yan grew up, then the sudden change in Yan Yan’s personality seemed to be explainable.
Ji Juechuan pursed his lips and drove the car faster.
He wanted to see Yan Yan immediately.
Half an hour later, the car stopped in front of the aristocratic college with the strictest admission requirements in Beicheng.
In the bright classroom, most of the students had left, and only a few were still packing their things.
There was a slender young man sitting on the seat next to the window. His eyebrows were delicate, his lips were red and his teeth were white, and his every movement was like a painting.
He put away the things on the table and as soon as he stood up, someone tapped him on the shoulder.
“Yan Yan, someone seems to be waiting for you at the entrance of the college.”
Yan Yan turned around, looked over with bright eyes, and opened his lips slightly: “Who is it?”
“It seems to be a senior studying art.” Tan Fengkai clicked his tongue and said, “What’s the number this month? How annoying.”
Yan Yan picked up his things and walked out side by side with Tan Fengkai.
“How about I drive him away first and you come out later?” Tan Fengkai turned to ask him.
“No need.” Yan Yan shook his head and refused, pursed his lower lip, “I often go to the Academy of Fine Arts recently, maybe there is something there that he wants to notify me about.”
Tan Fengkai scratched his hair irritably.
Yan Yan always trusted others easily.
If it were anyone else, he would have scolded him stupid without hesitation, but this person was Yan Yan, so he couldn’t even scold him at all, he only felt that Yan Yan was innocent.
He was so innocent that he could not even tell whether the person next to him was a human or a dog.
That’s why he had to follow Yan Yan every step of the way.
Lest he be deceived by some dog man.
After walking out of the classroom to the entrance of the college, many people greeted Yan Yan along the way, and Yan Yan responded with a smile.
When they arrived at the entrance of the college, there was indeed a person standing there, waiting for Yan Yan to pass.
Yan Yan recognized him as a senior from the Academy of Fine Arts, but he had the impression that they had not spoken much.
Seeing him coming out, the senior’s eyes lit up and he walked towards him.
“Yan Yan, I have something to tell you. Can you come with me to a nearby store and sit for a while?”
Tan Fengkai had an “I knew it” expression on his face and rolled his eyes: “He’s not free.”
Then, the senior frowned: “What qualifications do you have to answer for him?”
Tan Fengkai moved his joints and said word by word: “We have decided that before we graduate, we will not fall in love.”
Ji Juechuan parked his car not far from the entrance of the college and stared at the door intently.
It was time for college to end now, and students kept coming out and being picked up by luxury cars parked outside.
After staring intently for more than ten minutes, Ji Juechuan saw two people walking out side by side. Most of the person walking on the side was covered, but Ji Juechuan immediately recognized him as Yan Yan.
His pupils shrank suddenly, he opened the car door and got out of the car.
Before he could step forward, someone walked over first and stopped Yan Yan not knowing what he was saying.
Then, the man next to Yan Yan moved his bones, as if he was saying harsh words.
Ji Juechuan could only see Yan Yan, and he shouted in a deep voice: “Yan Yan.”
The two people facing each other at the door immediately looked at him.
Yan Yan was startled for a moment, then turned his head. The moment he looked over with his clear eyes, it was like a slow motion that had been slowed down several times.
The author has something to say:
The setting is a fusion of the world in the book and the original world.
