Waiting for You in the City (Translated)

Part 18

The next day, Xu Qin slept again for the whole morning. She was getting ready t return to Zong Lu Hua Yuan after the lunch when unexpectedly there was a guest for the lunch; Jiang Yu. He said that he came to find Meng Yan Chen, but he went out with Xiao Yi Xiao.

Fu Wen Ying called Xu Qin downstairs and greet the guest.

Jiang Yu examined Xu Qin and noticed she is skinnier, he asked: "Are you feeling better?"

Xu Qin: "I'm okay. Thank you for your flowers."

Jiang Yu laughed: "You act this modest to everyone?"

Xu Qin: "It is a good thing to be polite."

Jiang Yu declined to comment, he asked again: "What did you do before you came down?"

Xu Qin said: "I carved a small thing."

"You also could carve?" Jiang Yi found this strange: "What are you carving? stone or ——?

"Wood." Xu Qin said.

"Can I take a look at your pieces?"

"Let's go."

Xu Qin's bedroom is very big, it's also has its own living room inside the bedroom.

She arranged all of her wood carving on the desk, there are little animals, flowers and a lot more. They are all looking realistic.

Jiang Yu is so excited in looking at it. Xu Qin sits down and takes an unfinished carving and knife. She said: "I wouldn't entertain you anymore."

Jiang Yu: "Okay, you do as you please."

Xu Qin suddenly asked: "Do you like me?" She asked without lifting her head up.

Jiang Yu was caught surprised, he was startled for a while, he considered and said: "I just have a favorable impression toward you but I couldn't say that I like you."

Xu Qin lifted her eyes and asked: "Could you accept the fact of marrying me?"

Jiang Yu scratched his head, yet he didn't feel awkward: "Honestly, I just need to find someone who is an appropriate match, then I would marry. I don't care who she is."

"I'm jealous of you—— I couldn't do it." Xu Qin smiled and startrd to carve again: "I have someone that I like."

Jiang Yu leaned on the chair and picked up a wooden cat. He asked: "Your Pa and Ma are opposing you?"

"Em."

"Then what would you do?" Jiang Yu is curious. He seems to forget that they are partners in a blind date.

She stopped.

Last night, Xiao Yi Xiao listened to her words until she was done. He looked at the ceiling and at last, he sighed: "Then just try it."

"If you don't try, you would be unwilling to resign yourself. If you have tried it, though you might be hurt, when you follow your Ma's arrangement,  you'll be more accepting. Right?"

How could it be as easy as he said, Song Yan is unwilling.

At this room too, a few years ago on that Saturday, Meng Yan Chen was so angry and blocked her at her bedroom. He didn't allow her to find Song Yan.

She wasn't noisy nor did she fuss, she didn't argue. She just repeated: "I want to go and find Song Yan to play. I promise Song Yan today I'll go to him."

She knew that Song Yan is so angry, he was so furious. But if she looked for him, he would forgive her. But if she didn't, there would be trouble.

Meng Yan Chen stopped her and just locked her inside the room. She opened her window and climbed from the tree from the second floor.
