I Love You As Much As You Do - Chapter 1

Jinxiu received a call from Xu Jingyan as soon as she turned on her phone.

“Embroidery, did you just get off the plane?”

Jinxiu answered Xu Jingyan while pushing the suitcase: “Yes.”

Xu Jingyan’s voice immediately rose up, “Come over for dinner, I’ll wait for you!”

Jinxiu looked at the exit position: “I’ll just go back and eat just a little bit. I’m a little tired.”

“You always have to eat rice, we will go back together after eating.”

Jinxiu is a wedding planner. I spent more than a month in City A before and after the wedding, and finally returned to Lin City. Although Jinxiu didn’t want to go, Xu Jingyan agreed.

It was exactly six o’clock in the taxi to the restaurant, which was the peak of the meal. Fortunately, the location is conspicuous and it is not difficult to find.

Jinxiu saw Xu Jingyan sitting opposite Zhou Yun, and she didn’t know what Xu Jingyan was saying. She was full of spring and gestured with her hands. Zhou Yun leaned on the back of the chair, holding the cup in one hand and squeezing the rim of the cup without a mouthful, and pressing the tabletop with the other hand.

Jinxiu approached, Zhou Yun stood up immediately, and the original inattentive expression immediately came alive: “Xiuxiu, you are here.”

Jinxiu bit her lower lip and nodded at him. At the same time, she glanced at Xu Jingyan without a trace.

Xu Jingyan pretended not to see Jinxiu’s dissatisfaction, greeted Jinxiu to sit next to her, ordered a menu and asked her what to eat.

Zhou Yun graciously poured lemonade on Jinxiu, and also introduced some of the specialties of this restaurant. Jinxiu was only lukewarm thanks.

After doing this, Zhou Yun deliberately found a topic: “The planned wedding was very successful. I saw it all on Weibo. It was very beautiful.”

Jinxiu nodded slightly, “Thank you brother for the thread.”

Zhou Yun smiled: “You did a good job too, this time you should have a big holiday, right?”

Jinxiu said: “Two days off, there will be a lot of work after that.”

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little embarrassing, Xu Jingyan quickly came out and changed the subject: “The dishes are ready, let’s talk while eating.”

Next, Zhou Yun and Xu Jingyan were basically talking, Jinxiu only occasionally echoed a sentence or two.

After dinner, Zhou Yun wanted to send them back after checking out, but Jinxiu refused.

Jinxiu lives with Xu Jingyan in Xinlan Garden.

It stands to reason that they cannot afford to live in such a good house for their salary. But the boss, Mo Ni, likes splendid, anyway, the empty house is a waste. It would be better to have a trustworthy person to look after the house, so he rented it to them both cheaply.

In the taxi, Jinxiu closed her eyes and turned sideways to the window.

Xu Jingyan pulled Jinxiu’s hand and was gently thrown away by her. After repeating this several times, Xu Jingyan simply shook her hand directly, “Embroidery? Are you angry?”

Jinxiu didn’t open her eyes, but she didn’t let her go.

“Baby, I apologize to you, I was wrong. I don’t want to promise my brother to come, but he has asked me several times.”

Xu Jingyan took a look at Jinxiu, and saw that there was no trace of anger on her face, and then she continued: “I used to be a direct senior, but now I am my boss. It’s hard to make it too stiff!”

“You know it’s impossible for me and him.” Jinxiu sighed softly.

“Why?” Xu Jingyan looked at Jinxiu, “Senior brother is handsome and elegant, the family conditions are so good, and you like you so much, are you not tempted at all?”

“I thought my performance was obvious enough.” Jinxiu emphasized helplessly.

Leaning on Jinxiu’s shoulders, Xu Jingyan tried her best to indent her 172cm-tall head into a small bird-like figure on Jinxiu’s 161cm body: “Brother has been chasing you for five years since your sophomore year. You are so cruel, a little chance. Don’t you give it to him?”

Jinxiu opened her eyes and looked at Xu Jingyan: “If I give him a little hope and refuse, wouldn’t it be more cruel?”

“Then he has no chance at all?”

Jinxiu pursed the corner of her mouth slightly and smiled: “Jingyan, you know, I have a boyfriend.”

With you, how can I see others?

Xu Jingyan looked up at Jinxiu, then lowered her head and continued to lean on Jinxiu’s shoulder.

Yes, boyfriend.

This silly girl.

“However, we have known each other for six years, and we have never seen you in the past six years. Is he your boyfriend, are you still his girlfriend?” Xu Jingyan said angrily.

In her heart, Jinxiu said to herself that it was seven years and eight months, more than 2,700 days of waiting and thinking.

He said to her, you must wait for me.

So she waited.

After so many years, it has never wavered.

She listened to what he said, and believed.

Splendid looks sweet and lovely, and her eyes are crooked when she laughs, like two small crescents. There are two deep little pear vortices on the cheeks, which look like an elf smiling at you.

This look is especially popular with boys, which is commonly known as the standard first love face.

I remember when I was in college, my roommates didn’t know how many love letters they gave and how many phone calls they received.

Jinxiu just said, “I have a boyfriend, so next time you just refuse it for me.”

The roommates were very curious. They didn’t see who Jinxiu was with or talked to them on the phone. Who was that? Is it from our school?

Jinxiu shook his head, not from our school.

Xu Jingyan and Jinxiu’s classmates slept together for four years. After graduation, they rented under the same roof for two years. Not to mention that no one has seen them, and they have not even seen a photo.

No one knows why his boyfriend is sacred.

For so many years, I have watched how many seniors and younger brothers pursue the splendor in various ways, but none of them can impress her.

Therefore, it was said in the dormitory before that the boyfriend should be just an excuse, in order to stop the peach blossoms.

What can Xu Jingyan say, this girl is too stupid.

**

Not surprisingly, Jinxiu dreamed again that night.

For so many years, Jinxiu would dream about Xiangyang again and again almost every day, the boy she had been looking for for more than seven years but had no news at all.

In the dream, she had returned to when she was eighteen, and she was walking on the mountain road alone.

Jinxiu walks this section of the road several times almost every day. This is the only way to get out of school, but she still feels a little scared when she is alone in the field so late. Especially the chorus mixed with unknown bugs in stereo surround.

Going home from school, the foster mother told her to pick up vegetable leaves in the field to feed the pigs, but who knows that the rain wasted time and it was dark when she went home.

In the rural areas, they rest early at night, the fields are not close to the village, and there is no light around them, and there are a few dog barks from time to time. Jinxiu couldn’t help trembling inside, for fear that a dog or a ghost would suddenly come over.

That kind of fear is like a thread going into the ear and pulling on the nerves of the brain. When it comes in and out, it tortures people from time to time.

Jinxiu’s calf weakened slightly. She sang to embolden herself, but her singing voice was broken.

While humming a song, she walked forward step by step, the faster she thought about it, the less her feet were at her disposal, but the more she dared not stop.

Jinxiu encouraged herself in her heart while watching the road under her feet. When can I get home and when can I get rid of such a predicament.

The silk thread has been pulling, and the symphony has been magical.

“beautiful!”

The youthful voice of Qingrun sounded, the silk thread disappeared, and the symphony stopped.

Jinxiu only saw a thin but tall figure vaguely across the night.

Jinxiu quickened his pace and pounced on Xiangyang, who was running fast.

“Xiang Yang!” The voice was filled with surprise and a little cry.

Xiang Yang ran a few steps, hugged her tightly, and patted her on the back: “It’s okay, I’m here.”

Xiangyang took Jinxiu’s hand and walked forward. The same night, the same mountain road, because there is Xiangyang by his side, Jinxiu is no longer afraid, no longer hesitate, and there is inexplicable peace of mind.

Since sensible, Jinxiu often helps her family with farm work during school and vacation.

She is just an adopted daughter. At that time, the adoptive parents had no children, and their biological parents had too many daughters, so she was sent away. At first, the adoptive parents were kind to her, but when she was ten years old, everything changed after they had a child of their own.

It was the case before going home at dark like tonight, but they all went home while crying. When they got home, their adoptive parents would not ask a question. It was the first time someone came and brought them home.

Since then, whenever I think of Xiangyang, Jinxiu feels that she has a thick protective cover around her body, and nothing will scare her.

Even for so many years, she tried every means to find Xiangyang, even if it was just because Xiangyang’s sentence was waiting for me, it was enough to make Jinxiu feel that her armor was extremely hard.
