Chapter 20 Marry Me
Chapter 20 Marry Me
At this moment, Lee Ji-eun pushed open the door and walked in. After seeing the two of them, she became even angrier and asked, "What are you doing!" in an icy tone.
I was so anxious I couldn't sleep all night. He didn't even bother to buy me breakfast, let alone wait for me. Now he's chatting and laughing with Lizhi. What a scumbag! What a scoundrel!
Huang Lizhi ignored his weak legs and quickly let go, jumping down. He stood there blushing, not daring to say a word.
Lin Yuan, completely unaware of the seriousness of the situation, walked over to Li Zhi'en with a smile and put his arm around her shoulder, saying, "I was just joking around with Lizhi. You're a little late."
Lee Ji-eun shoved his arm away and said coldly, "Don't touch me, you stinky man."
Lin Yuan was completely confused, not knowing what he had done to offend her, only thinking that he hadn't waited for her in the morning.
Oh well, it's normal for women to throw a little tantrum; she'll be fine in a bit.
Lee Ji-eun sat on the sofa, pouting, waiting for him to come and coax her so she could give him a way out.
Unexpectedly, Lin Yuan didn't take it seriously at all and turned back to continue practicing. Even Huang Lizhi, who was standing to the side, couldn't bear to watch anymore and could only pray for him in his heart. He then took a bottle of milk and came over.
"Unnie, here you go."
Lee Ji-eun reached out and took it, forcing a smile as she gestured for her to sit down. Then she continued to stare at Lin Yuan, the temperature around her dropping to a cold level.
"Unnie, did you and Oppa have a fight?"
Lee Ji-eun snorted coldly, "Heh, you even noticed the lychee, but some people didn't."
Hwang Yee-ji didn't know what had happened between the two of them, but she felt that if things continued like this, she would be caught in the middle and it would be difficult for her, even though she preferred her unnie.
Lin Yuan was wriggling around like a centipede to the music, his movements extremely awkward, yet he seemed oblivious to it, even giving himself a flirtatious wink in the mirror with a proud expression. Lin Yuan was speechless; it was so embarrassing.
Lee Ji-eun sat there clenching her teeth, making a "crunching" sound like a mouse, and almost squirming the milk in her hand out of shape, showing how angry she was.
Seeing that Lin Yuan had no intention of apologizing, she got up angrily and left.
Huang Lizhi hesitated, glancing at her and then at Lin Yuan, but ultimately stayed; she still had work to do.
Lin Yuan didn't realize something was wrong until the afternoon. Li Zhi'en hadn't said a single word to him since morning.
Even when I discussed lyrics with her, she seemed indifferent.
Strange, apart from not waiting for her to go to work, he doesn't seem to have done anything wrong, right?
Lin Yuan scratched his head, somewhat questioning the meaning of life.
"Lin Yuan, what are you doing? Can't you hear me? It's your turn to hit the beat!"
Park Young-chul shouted into the microphone.
"Sorry, teacher, I was a little distracted just now. Could you please try again?"
Lin Yuan quickly bowed and apologized, and Park Young-cheol let him go, preparing to start over.
He turned to look at Lee Ji-eun, leaned closer, and whispered, "Why didn't you remind me?"
Lee Ji-eun rolled her eyes at him, "Hmph!" And then... that was it, as if even saying a single word was too much of a chore.
.....
At the bus stop, Lin Yuan kept reminding Huang Lizhi, "Lizhi, remember to send a message when you get home. Be careful on the road, okay? And don't forget anything."
"Okay, Oppa, you've said it three times already."
Huang Lizhi simply plugged his ears, not wanting to listen to his nagging.
From the company to the platform, Lin Yuan didn't stop for a moment, and her ears were practically calloused from listening.
Suddenly, she saw the bus that was about to arrive at the station, quickly stood up, waved, and said impatiently, "Oppa, you go back first, I'm leaving now."
"Okay, did you remember what I just said? Remember to let me know you got home safely, and send one to your Ji-eun unnie too."
Lin Yuan spoke to her through the window.
Huang Lizhi smiled and nodded, then looked away from him.
Back at the company, Lin Yuan finally remembered Li Zhi'en.
He rushed to the front desk, where Li Lizhen was still packing her things and hadn't left yet.
"Noona, have you seen Ji-eun?"
Li Huizhen thought for a moment, then shook her head: "No, no one went out after you." Seeing his anxious look, she asked, "What's wrong? Did you two have a fight?"
Lin Yuan shook his head and then nodded, "I don't know either," leaving her completely confused.
At this moment, Li Huizhen seemed to have thought of something, "Perhaps you can go to the rooftop terrace and take a look, there are usually not many people there."
Lin Yuan's hope was instantly rekindled. "Thank you, Nuna." He then ran into the elevator and headed straight for the top floor.
When he finally pushed open the fire door to the top floor, panting, he saw Lee Ji-eun standing alone by the railing. "No!"
Lee Ji-eun was startled by him, her foot slipped and she fell backward, "Ah!" she cried out and closed her eyes.
Lin Yuan pushed off with his feet and rushed over quickly, shouting, "Faster, faster!"
Seeing that Lee Ji-eun was about to fall, he didn't care about anything else and rushed over to help her.
"Hiss~"
Lin Yuan gasped.
Lee Ji-eun thought this was the end of her life, and many images flashed through her mind.
My beloved grandmother, my younger brother with whom I depend on each other, and... the person I've liked for a long time.
It's such a pity. I haven't confessed my feelings to him yet, and I haven't traveled with him. There are so many things I want to do with him, but unfortunately, I don't have the chance now.
"Oh, can you get up first? I can hardly breathe."
Seeing that she hadn't moved for a while, Lin Yuan immediately shouted.
Lee Ji-eun opened her eyes and looked around.
The familiar terrace; I reached out and touched myself—completely unharmed.
Wait, she thought she heard Lin Yuan's voice, but she couldn't see him. Was she hallucinating? She clearly saw him running towards her.
Lee Ji-eun suddenly felt something moving beneath her and jumped up in fright, tentatively asking, "Lin Yuan?"
"Call 120 quickly, I can't move."
It really was Lin Yuan. She hadn't misheard. It turned out that he had shielded her from harm.
Seeing Lin Yuan's pained expression, she quickly took out her phone and dialed the emergency number, then immediately checked his injuries.
"How are you...?"
Lee Ji-eun reached out and touched him, her voice choked with emotion.
Lin Yuan didn't want her to worry too much, so he replied casually, "Don't move, I'm fine. I probably just twisted my back. Don't worry." As he spoke, he reached into his pocket and took out a milk carton. "Mianye, it's my fault for not apologizing right away."
To this day, he still doesn't know where he went wrong.
【Let's make a deal: whenever we argue, I'll buy you banana milk as an apology, and we won't bring up past grievances】
Lee Ji-eun took the milk, her mind filled with their promise. She could no longer hold back and burst into tears.
"Don't cry, are you feeling unwell?"
Lee Ji-eun ignored him and just kept crying; nothing she said mattered.
Lin Yuan was speechless. He finally understood the meaning of the saying that women are made of water. After crying for so long, there was no sign of it ending.
"Lin Yuan, marry me!"
