C114 Good Luck to You

My eyelids jumped, but I didn't say anything. I really looked forward to seeing that Ou Jingyi knew that Lin Qian, who had always been obedient to me, had already started a new life outside. Would she feel embarrassed after hearing what I said today?

Now that I see Lin Qian, other than disgust and deep contempt, I can't mobilize any other feelings. I suspect countless times that I've already had a good impression of such a man in the past.

I accepted the knife from Ou Jingyi, but it seemed that she wasn't willing to let her continue like this. "Ou Jingyi, eat your food, you're still better off not saying a word."

Being called by name in front of so many people, it was obvious that Ou Jingyi was extremely displeased. Other than Zhao Yuhao, everyone present was very clear on the meaning behind Ou Jingyi's words just now. Zhao Yuhao was at the side, not knowing how to smooth things over, as he tried to figure out the relationship between the four of them from our words.

"Is there anyone who can't keep their face straight? Looking at those two people reminded me of my sad life. Hmph, who can you blame? Who can you show a wounded look all day?" Ouyang Jingyi insensibly mumbled to herself. Lin Qian, who was sitting beside her, was eating his steak with his head lowered. He didn't even dare to raise his head.

After wiping my mouth with my knife and fork, I stood up to bid my farewells to the rest of the group. "Everyone, I am an emotional loser, so I will be leaving first. Miss Zhu Ao will always be a victorious general, and I will always be in an invincible position after my battle with Wanhua City."

As my words fell, Zhao Yuhao couldn't help but laugh out loud. Presumably, he was lamenting about my vicious tongue in his heart.

"I'll send you back. Yuhao, remember to pay up. Don't let this junior pay up. I'll treat you later." Ou Jia Rui followed me and stood up. With a "don't let me pay", I instantly distinguished the relationship between me and Ou Jingyi. Ou Jingyi was so angry that her face turned red, but she didn't dare to throw a tantrum.

"No need, I'll just take a taxi back. The school isn't that far away." I don't have anything to say. I just want to go out and get some fresh air.

Ou Jia Rui already had her car keys on: "No."

Not long after we left, Zhao Yuhao, Lin Qian, and Ou Jingyi also left one after the other. In the end, the school anniversary gathering still ended unhappily, but based on the complicated relationship between the four of us, to be able to sit together eating without fighting was already quite the good result.

"Actually, you don't need to always be so patient. Although I'm Jingjing's parent, but I'll tell you honestly, I don't have any relationship with her, nor have I ever done anything to her. Furthermore, in the relationship between the two of you, she's always done the wrong thing." I just put on my seat belt, O'Jia Rui said.

"I didn't hold back, I just felt that there was a need to publicly talk back to a little girl... "Yes, it's a bit embarrassing." I told O'Jia Rui very seriously.

After listening to my explanation, Ou Jia Rui burst out in laughter. I thought he was laughing because I felt that Ou Jingyi had lost face, but who knew that Ou Jia Rui actually said: "Jing Jing is a little girl, then you're not that much older than her, you're a year old, then you're also a little girl, hmm?"

"Yes, I will always be an eighteen year old little girl." I said shamelessly.

With someone taking care of her, who wouldn't want to be a naive and willful little girl?

The car pulled into a public parking space near B University.

"Why aren't you continuing?"

"Nothing, I just want to take a walk with you. The night wind is quite comfortable." Ou Jia Rui had locked up his slut banquets. It was unknown when they started, but Ou Jia Rui no longer stuck to that low-key Audi. She thought he was nostalgic, but now it seemed like it was just a coincidence.

I simply returned to the apartment and didn't have anything to do, so I followed Ou Jia Rui for a walk. I also ate quite a bit of the dinner just now.

"The BOSS has changed a lot. It's almost impossible to match it with the one I had when I was at school." Ou Jia Rui sighed with emotion as she walked. "Sigh, I can't believe I'm going to be old soon."

"Aiyo, why do you suddenly say that? You are the most favored young talent in the business circles of the entire B City." I laughed.

"I'm almost 30 years old, and adopted Jingjing when I was in university. At that time, she was still a cute little girl, so I bought her many cute little dresses and sent her to the best school. I didn't expect her to be like this in the end." The Ou Jia Rui of today seemed a little sad.

I didn't say anything. Regarding Ou Jingyi's education, whether it was from an age point of view or an identity point of view, I didn't have any position to interfere.

Ou Jia Rui didn't expect me to respond but continued, "Yao Yao, in fact, I've always been very sorry to you. Because of my indulgence towards Jingjing, I nurtured her current state and made her do many things that hurt you."

"It's okay, it's not your fault." At first, I would always blame the injuries I had received from Ou Jingyi on Ou Jia Rui. After all, if he hadn't come to my side, I might not have encountered so many things. But at the same time, if it weren't for Ou Jia Rui's help, I might not have been able to continue living and wouldn't have been able to blame him.

"You're right, you and Jingjing are girls of the same age, you shouldn't be treated like this for no reason. You're even more beautiful than her, you should be treated with even more gentleness." Oja said depressingly.

"Maybe. Let's not talk about this anymore. It's been a happy day." I changed the subject.

"Un, that's right, let's go to the artificial lake. When I graduated, it was still a flat piece of land. I was originally planning to build a basketball court, but I didn't expect it to become an artificial lake."

"Alright, the environment there is not bad." The air by the lakeside wasn't bad and the venue was wide open as well. Today was the school anniversary, and many students were very excited. After the ceremony ended, they gathered in groups of twos and threes in every corner of the school to continue celebrating.

There were quite a lot of couples by the lake. There were many of them holding hands and talking about love along the shore. To think that me and Ou Jia Rui walking in the middle of it didn't go against the rules.

Just as we were chatting casually, a burst of fireworks erupted from the highest point of the distant school library.

"Wow, she's so beautiful."

"It must be because the school is celebrating our school's anniversary. We are really lucky. Fortunately, we are outside right now." From time to time, the people around me would exclaim in surprise. I stood by the lake side by side with Ou Jia Rui, watching the fireworks erupt. No one said a word.

Dazzling fireworks blossomed in the pitch-black night sky, lighting up the clear lake water. Such a beautiful scenery was a pleasant surprise, and the couples around me embraced each other excitedly. Jia Rui's right hand grabbed my left hand.

His palms were dry and warm, and after a brief struggle I didn't refuse.

Things that were beautiful were always fleeting. Soon, the fireworks ended and the satisfied crowd dispersed. Many people even posted their pictures on Weibo.

"That's great."

"Zhou Xinyao, do you want to turn on the light yourself?" Ochira suddenly asked me.

I was stunned. "What did you say?"

"When I was young, every time it was my birthday, my family would put a lantern on my head and pray for my safety. But as I grew older, the birthday party became an opportunity for me to communicate with the outside world. As the successor of the Ou Family, this was my duty and I haven't let go of this lamp for many years." After saying that, Ou Jia Rui made a phone call and called for someone to send it to her.

"Is it your birthday?" I secretly ridiculed in my heart, Ou Jia Rui was just on the spur of the moment to mobilize the masses, but in my heart, I felt very tired for the boss of Xuan Zi's stall. It wasn't until I accidentally found out about Xuan Zi's monthly salary that this feeling disappeared.

"It's not my birthday. It's just that I suddenly feel like letting it go. If I pray for peace, I should be able to do it no matter what day it is." By the time we reached the library, Xuan Zi, who was extremely efficient, had already sent over Kong Mingliang.

After we took the elevator to the roof, I was helpless in front of a bunch of materials. Lin Qian had never done something so emotional with me.

With practiced movements, O'Jia Rui opened the package, propped up the lantern, and lit it. A set of movements were completed in one go.

I remember seeing a film called "Those Years," and I wonder if the men's courtship of women in the films is really not entirely fictitious.

I closed my eyes, held onto the side of the lamp, and said seriously, "I hope to win the competition and prove myself. I hope to finish my studies smoothly. I hope that I can develop my waistcoat in the gym as soon as possible. I hope that Mason can design more popular jewelry and reach the peak of her life …"

Ou Jia Rui looked at me, amused. "Hey, Zhou Xinyao, why are you getting greedier and greedier? With so many wishes from you, how can the God know which one you want to accomplish? You might as well beg me to be more practical and help you accomplish it."

"Wait a minute, I still have one last wish. Can you tell me more?"

"You … "Go ahead."

"I hope that the Ou Family can prosper in their business and wealth. Ou Jia Rui can be a little more generous in the future. I don't need to split one among two people when I buy another Kong Ming lantern."

"I'm petty? Do you understand the interest in life? " Ou Jia Rui laughed.

"Alright, alright, it's your wish."

Ou Jia Rui thought about it seriously. "Safe, healthy, and also gave half of my luck to Zhou Xinyao. God, please use my luck to help Zhou Xinyao achieve a few wishes."

If half of it was given to me by luck, then I guess only a brain-dead person like Ou Jia Rui could think of something like this. Although making a wish is only an illusion, this sentence still made me feel a bit nervous.

The two of them let go of the light at the same time. I watched as it grew further and further away from my sight, turning into a small dot of light. Only then did I turn my gaze away, only to find that Ou Jia Rui was still watching me.

His heart suddenly skipped a beat.
