See You Again (Time Already Knows) - Chapter 41
Chapter 41 - “Shi Jian, Is It Almost Valentine’s Day?”
She had been used to sleeping in his bed for many years.
Shi Jian didn’t think too much about Ye Jiacheng’s bed with the wooden bedframe. She’d instinctively selected the right side.
Normally, Ye Jiacheng also liked sleeping on the right side in this bed. There was no reason for it. The lightswitch to the bedroom was on the right side. Tonight, since the little fox had already stolen his territory, he was willing to yield to her.
But, Ye Jiacheng still chose to walk to the right side of the bed. He leaned over and dropped Shi Jian a kiss: “Goodnight.”
Following the kiss, Ye Jiacheng flipped the lightswitch and the room immediately darkened. Their breaths were close. In the dark, two pairs of eyes met each other. Shi Jian reached out and hooked Ye Jiacheng’s hand.
Ye Jiacheng grasped her hand and put it back inside the blanket. Then, he tucked in the blankets for her tightly.
Shi Jian: “……thanks.”
“No problem.” Ye Jiacheng looked away and walked to the left side. He lifted a corner of the blankets and unhurriedly climbed into bed. When he pulled the blankets back up, his heart seemed to exhale. That should be all. He could still reach daybreak with his eyes wide open.
Shi Jian: “……”
Two people laid on the same bed at the same time, each with their own thoughts. On the right, Shi Jian laid on her back, her eyes darting about. She looked to her side; Ye Jiacheng slept on her left. In the long stretch of time ahead, she woke in the darkness and discovered a feeling like the person beside her had disappeared. It really was helpless and couldn’t be helped, like an insomniac waiting for the sky to brighten.
Right now, there was a shadow over their return to married life.
Shi Jian contemplated this and felt that she was about to burst with happiness. Her joyful mood made her lips curve up and she couldn’t help laughing out loud.
Hee hee hee, hee hee hee, hee hee hee hee hee.
Her delight couldn’t be concealed. It reached Ye Jiacheng all the way across the blankets. The little fox was happy? Ye Jiacheng suppressed his complicated emotions and quietly asked: “Shi Jian, what are you laughing about……”
“Nothing.” Shi Jian covered her mouth with a hand. She very well couldn’t answer Ye Jiacheng and say something like “because we finally slept together, my heart feels very full”. Shi Jian turned around and thought of a reason. She said to Ye Jiacheng: “I just remembered a joke. It’s especially hilarious.”
“Oh.” Ye Jiacheng pretended to be calm, “What joke?”
At this, Shi Jian said: “Come closer and I’ll tell you.”
Ye Jiacheng: “……”
After a while, Ye Jiacheng moved half a foot closer.
Shi Jian also moved half a foot closer. The distance between the two closed. She wrapped an arm around Ye Jiacheng’s sturdy waist. This was what lovers did. Shi Jian made up a random joke. It was difficult to make Ye Jiacheng laugh. Normal jokes didn’t get to him, but her joke came from the future. Even if it wasn’t funny enough, it was still new.
Sure enough, Ye Jiacheng chuckled and assessed: “A bit interesting.”
Shi Jian giggled and watched Ye Jiacheng’s pupils twinkle. A cute moistness gathered in his eyes, as if it was hoping for something. She had only glanced at Ye Jiacheng once and she couldn’t take it anymore.
But, it was probably because of his rebel nature. Throughout his childhood, his parents always talked about that bone protruding at the back of his head. Some things were indeed the same. The more the little fox was hopeful, the more that Ye Jiacheng suppressed the spark inside his body.
A person who had cultivated for a month would have the skills to resist for one night. Ye Jiacheng bided his time and purposefully studied how to control his body.
He did nothing at all, and didn’t let the little fox extract his essence. In the end, the little fox…… didn’t seem to be disappointed at all. She was even giddy and sweet.
In the middle of the night, Ye Jiacheng still hadn’t fallen asleep. The Shi Jian in his arms had already peacefully entered sleep. Her right hand was on his waist and her head stuck to his chest. It was a kind of especially intimate and familiar sleeping posture.
Ye Jiacheng silently laughed in spite of himself. Maybe the little fox had really only wanted to sleep with him, the innocent kind of sleep.
It was he who thought too much.
Suddenly, the hand on his waist hugged him again, as if afraid that he would disappear. Ye Jiacheng poked Shi Jian’s cheek. The little fox was sleeping very deeply. Did she dream of something? He really wanted to enter the little fox’s dream and take a look.
Just at that moment, the little fox quietly murmured something, a soft and intimate word.
It was that sound again: “Husband……”
If Ye Jiacheng had pushed her away after hearing that word last time, he also had a similar feeling right now, but he continued to embrace Shi Jian in her sleep. Had the little fox fallen in love with someone before? Their relationship was intimate enough that she called him husband?
Ye Jiacheng didn’t continue to think too much about it. There was nothing to think about. Not to mention that there was a husband in Shi Jian’s heart. Even if there were a hundred of them, he, Ye Jiacheng, could rival a hundred. Sooner or later, he would seize that drop of hesitancy in her heart.
——
Shi Jian had work today. Naturally, Ye Jiacheng delivered her to work. The car stopped at Yi Mao Real Estate. She unfastened her seatbelt and called Ye Jiacheng to move closer a bit. Then, she quickly kissed his cheek.
Ye Jiacheng: “……” After a pause, he reached out his right hand and pushed her face away, bumping her face. Afterwards, he said: “Don’t forget to eat breakfast later.”
Shi Jian: “En!”
Shi Jian felt joyful. She got out of the car and stood waving to Ye Jiacheng by the curb until the car eventually left her view.
It seemed that only the words of Teacher Venus could describe the period of time from yesterday night up to now, and that was: “Per—— fect!”
Rejoice! Shi Jian entered the company with her backpack. From the security guard to the janitor lady, she bid everyone good morning. Then, she entered the elevator, looked at the people inside, and gave another crisp morning greeting.
“Good morning, President Yi.”
“Morning,” Yi Pei replied, his voice calm as always.
Shi Jian looked at Zhang Kai again, “Morning, Special Assistant Zhang.”
“Morning, morning, morning,” Zhang Kai replied to her and gave her a smile. After a while, he caringly asked, “Did your date last night go well?”
Shi Jian: “……” Emily, the blabbermouth!
This really couldn’t be blamed on Emily. Even her portion of the snacks that Zhang Kai had ordered last night were still on her desk. Shi Jian’s mood when she returned to the office was so cheery that Emily immediately walked over and asked her the same question.
Shi Jian opened her cellphone and pretended to seriously reply: “It was alright.”
“How good is alright?” Emily asked again.
Shi Jian casted her head aside, extended two fingers, slightly raised her rosy lips, and exclaimed: “Perfect!”
Emily understood clearly and patted her shoulder, saying: “Congratulations.”
Shi Jian understood what Emily meant by that and was indifferent. It would’ve happened sooner or later. In front of her office desk was the large pile of work that she’d completed last night. Shi Jian organized it a bit and carried them towards Zhang Kai’s office.
Emily had just come out of Yi Pei’s office. When she passed by, Emily winked at her, meaning that Yi Pei wanted her to make the coffee this morning. Shi Jian nodded. Looks like the coffee she brewed was indeed better than the coffee Emily made.
Inside his office, Zhang Kai was on the phone. Shi Jian knocked before walking inside. Zhang Kai promptly put down his phone and stood up, looking very diffident. Shi Jian set down the stack of documents suspiciously. Zhang Kai had his cellphone in hand and didn’t speak more than necessary.
Shi Jian put away the feeling of strangeness and quietly left the office. Before she had taken two steps outside, the sound of Zhang Kai speaking reached her: “It’s not like that, Vivi, this has nothing to do with what happened that night……”
That night…… Was it that night at Qinglin City……?
Shi Jian quickly returned to her desk, blinked, and slowly sat down. Her brain couldn’t help but think about it.
It was easy to recall events that had happened very recently. First, Zhao Wenwen went upstairs, saying that she was going to look for Yi Pei. But, she had seen Yi Pei in the hotel lobby, and Yi Pei said he didn’t know where Zhao Wenwen was.
That day, Yi Pei had seemed to be in a bad mood…… Also, Zhang Kai had been strange recently.
Emily said that Special Assistant Zhang became odd when he returned from Qinglin City…… A certain thought once again popped forward. Last time she was in the break room, this thought merely flitted by her consciousness. She thought it was impossible.
But……
Shi Jian clasped her palms together. Clearly, the more she thought about it, the less impossible it was.
If it was true.
If there was something between Zhang Kai and Zhao Wenwen, then she would never be friends with Zhang Kai in her life. She despised him! Despised!

Inside the office, Zhang Kai sat on his chair and sipped his hot tea, accidentally scalding his tongue. Fuck, Zhao Wenwen just unexpectedly dared to call him and have him go pick her up! Of course he refused; he definitely couldn’t take advantage of his relationship with his boss. In the end, Zhao Wenwen even asked him whether it had anything to do with what happened that night.
Just forget about everything that happened that night, okay? He still had to be Yi Pei’s assistant and friend……
His brain broke out of his control and he thought of the 36D’s again. Zhang Kai rapidly shook his head. Why did he have to suffer this torture for no reason?
Outside the office, Shi Jian also knocked her forehead on her desk. Once, twice, three times…… Please, please don’t continue to think down that direction!
At that very moment, she seemed to have tossed out that line of thinking from her brain. Why did she have to think of this?
How could she keep working?!
Emily urged her to go brew the coffee. Shi Jian briskly stood up. About ten minutes later, she brought the steaming coffee to Yi Pei.Yi Pei was sitting at his desk, looking like he didn’t get a good night’s sleep. His ring finger was pressed against his temple, massaging it.
Then, he picked up the coffee she’d brought over and took a sip.
Shi Jian turned away, but Yi Pei suddenly spoke: “Shi Jian, is it almost Valentine’s Day?”
Eh? Shi Jian turned back around, standing in front of the desk. She watched Yi Pei and nodded. It seemed to be close. This year’s Valentine’s Day seemed to be two days apart from the company’s annual meeting.
Yi Pei seemed a bit regretful, but he suddenly smiled. He said a bit self-deprecatingly: “Look at me, I don’t even know a thing about this……”
Boo hoo. Shi Jian hung her head, clearly not letting herself continue to think about the thing between Zhang Kai and Zhao Wenwen. She couldn’t help but think of it again. The reason Yi Pei asked her about Valentine’s Day was no doubt because he wanted to spend it with Zhao Wenwen. Shi Jian’s heart inexplicably soured, upset for Yi Pei.
Let’s hope that everything was just in her imagination.
Otherwise, what would Yi Pei amount to?
Even though Yi Pei indeed wasn’t as good as Zhang Kai at romance, and bad at smooth-talking in a way that girls liked, Yi Pei was better than Zhang Kai in all other areas! She didn’t know what kind of taste Zhao Wenwen had. She would have to be drunk to know.
Leaving Yi Pei’s office, Shi Jian leaned against the wall and took a moment to settle herself. No matter what, she hoped that everything was just in her imagination.
There was nothing going on! Nothing!
Even though she thought like this, after all of today, she had no good impression left of Zhang Kai anymore. She couldn’t help but despise him inside, despising him……
In the afternoon, Zhang Kai looked solemn as he came out from Yi Pei’s office. His face was the color of pig liver. He quickly digested what Yi Pei had just said to him: “Yesterday, Vivi and I talked about breaking off the engagement. She agreed, but she had a few conditions. Get a lawyer to take care of this……”
Breaking off the engagement?! At this critical point in time? Yi pei said it very calmly, so calmly that Zhang Kai had no idea why he was breaking the engagement with Vivi. Since Yi Pei didn’t explain, no one would be able to find out the reason.
Being his assistant, he only had to help Yi Pei take care of the follow-up and minimize the losses. Recklessly breaking off an engagement had a huge impact. There was no way Yi Pei hadn’t thought it over clearly.
After being with Yi Pei for so long, Zhang Kai could understand him. Everything Yi Pei did, he did after very careful deliberation.
This was such a big matter. Even if Yi Pei was calm, Zhang Kai couldn’t be calm at all!
Zhang Kai silently arrived at Shi Jian’s desk and knocked on it: “Shi Jian, come with me for a moment.”
Inside the office, Shi Jian left her computer with a gripe. She looked suspiciously at Zhang Kai as she followed him into his office.
Zhang Kai still needed to talk about this with someone, including about what they would do and how they would take care of this. He shut the door, and fought off his jumbled state of mind. He spoke as calmly as possible: “President Yi and Vivi are breaking their engagement……”
Shi Jian: “……” What?
This information was like a bomb dropped on top of her. Shi Jian also took some time to digest it, then she said nothing at all. She only gave an extremely forceful eye roll. When «Empresses in the Palace»1 grew popular, Shi Jian learned how to do Imperial Concubine Hua’s classic eye roll. She’d even showed it to Ye Jiacheng. Ye Jiacheng had complimented her and said that it was very accurate.
Now, this eye roll could be considered good. She went from up to down, thoroughly and mercilessly looking down on Zhang Kai!
When one revealed their inner disdain, there was no need to show mercy.
Author’s Note:
Everytime I write about Shi Jian and Little Ye’s drama, I just can’t control the explosive power in my body. I can’t control it, so I wrote too much. The original version had 3000 words. It was too much, too sweet, so 1500 words were taken away. Don’t worry, there really is nothing much in those 1500 words anyway.
In the end, President Yi and Vivi broke up.
Zhang Kai: Dearest mother, shouldn’t the main point of this chapter be that I have been mercilessly misunderstood? Quick, help me clear my innocence!!!
Nevermind, I’ll do it myself!
Additionally, are there any fans who want to know the plot outline? Should I secretly pick a few?
Big Zhu feels terrible at seeing so many guesses ha~ No matter what, write well to the end! I know how this story will develop, and how the ending will resolve. I am the person that understands this story the most. I understand what every scene does, whether they are unnecessary or not, as well as each character. I will strive to write every scene well.
As for those wondering where is the value of me writing this, what is the meaning in rebirth?
I will use the coming script and content to narrate and explain this to you all. This is what I want to say today ha~
Muah muah.
