See You Again (Time Already Knows) - Chapter 79 - Part 1
Chapter 79 - Yi Pei Hung Up The Phone. He Was Unsteady For A Moment, And His Whole Body Leaned Forward Against His Desk…… - Part 1
If everything was known ahead of time, would the ending change? Would a small change affect everything, or did destiny have its own plans?
On Saturday, Shi Jian received a call from Emily. Emily was concerned about her and took the opportunity to ask about her and Ye Jiacheng’s situation. There were some things that Shi Jian couldn’t tell her, but she still struck up a conversation with Emily.
Emily smiled, “Shi Jian, I can tell that the perfect gentleman wants to turn back. Um, will you…… forgive him?”
The perfect gentleman. Emily hadn’t called Ye Jiacheng this in a long time. Shi Jian heard it and inexplicably smiled. How was Ye Jiacheng a perfect gentleman? She only blindly believed in her heart that he was perfect.
Just like how there weren’t many things in this world that were completely perfect. After getting over that, everything was beautiful and perfect.
Emily and Shi Jian discussed whether Ye Jiacheng was worth forgiving. Shi Jian tried her best to explain the situation simply and relaxedly, “Judging by his performance……”
There was no way for some things to be said. She already didn’t blame Ye Jiacheng. She loved him very much, and loved only him. Only, after losing confidence, she still had some doubt in her heart. And she didn’t want to bring this pessimism into her relationship with Ye Jiacheng. It wasn’t suitable for either of them.
She really did want for the two of them to be able to be happy together and for her to continue to love Ye Jiacheng, just like the little fox did in the past. Only, if she couldn’t even do this, why not just wait for a bit longer and not get together in a hurry like before. She felt like if that happened, the two of them wouldn’t part any more.
Emily understood her thinking. She’d probably thought that Shi Jian and Ye Jiacheng would get back together sooner or later. Emily teased: “Ai, you’re giving up President Yi, the highly eligible bachelor. Shi Jian, I feel pity for you.”
Shi Jian smiled. She only had respect for Yi Pei and had never thought about being together with him. What was there to feel pity about? Shi Jian stopped talking about annoying relationship issues. Then, Emily brought up Yi Mao’s general shareholder’s meeting.
She sighed with genuine sorrow: “Thinking about it, not choosing President Yi is also a sensible thing to do. The Yi family is too chaotic.”
Yi Mao was going to be chaotic. The situation was still undecided. The employees were all worried about the instability. Shi Jian understood what Emily just said. She found a reason to hang up the phone. There was only one reason she didn’t choose Yi Pei, and nothing else.
Shi Jian drove Tim to the airport. He was going back to England. She needed more time before she could go abroad. The Yang family all went to the departure platform…… Then, Uncle and Auntie Yang had a kind of awkward expression on their face.
Ye Jiacheng was following behind them. He went up to handle their check-in. Then he stopped Tim in a very “brother-in-law” way and put a small gift that he’d brought into Tim’s luggage very neatly.
“See you next time, Tim.” Ye Jiacheng patted Tim’s head, then “consciously” returned to Shi Jian’s side.
Shi Jian noticed the glance that Uncle gave her. She really didn’t call Ye Jiacheng here. On the contrary, she had been feeling annoyed recently, and especially didn’t want to see Ye Jiacheng. As far as how Ye Jiacheng learned that Tim was leaving today, he definitely had his ways of obtaining information. She Jian looked over at Tim. There was no one else.
Tim rolled his eyes and was about to board the plane. Before he left, he asked about a subject that he was concerned about: “Jane, will you still come to England?”
“Yeah.” Ye Jiacheng was the one who replied, “Don’t worry, your big sis will come to England.”
Shi Jian: “……”
Shi Jian followed Auntie and Uncle to the parking lot. Yang Jiantao was the one who couldn’t stop thinking the whole way. Then suddenly, he heard Ye Jiacheng call out…… “Uncle”.
“Uncle, do you want to have a meal later?” Ye Jiacheng asked.
Uncle…… He really said it so naturally!
Ye Jiacheng simply called him this because Shi Jian did so. His lips were slightly pursed, and he also called Shi Jian’s auntie similarly with a bright smile: “Auntie.”
A person who looked handsome could afford to be a little shameless. Auntie Fangrou wasn’t paying attention and even agreed: “Sure……”
Yang Jiantao looked away, and Shi Jian said nothing.
Ye Jiacheng seemed to call her family members as she called them the first time he met her family. He attracted them with the sense of familiarity, then her Auntie agreed when she wasn’t paying attention.
It was impossible for Shi Jian not to feel anything as she watched Ye Jiacheng walking forward while carrying Nini.
——
Shi Jian had to attend many training classes. In each class, Ye Jiacheng was her deskmate. Classmate Ye was a bad egg that sneaked glances at the female student next to him in class, and occasionally, he even disturbed his deskmate. Shi Jian seemed to complain that Ye Jiacheng was affecting her attention in class. So Ye Jiacheng handed her the notes she took down and smiled: “It’s lucky that you’ve already taken this class before.”
Ye Jiacheng was too adept at this. Shi Jian was never a match.
“Little fox……” Student Ye started to disturb his female deskmate again, “I want to ask something.”
Shi Jian turned. Ye Jiacheng took out a fountain pen, coughed, and asked: “Is Tianmei Jia Park on 192 Linxi Street our home?”
It was afternoon break. Shi Jian didn’t leave her desk. Ye Jiacheng sat beside her and was drawing houses on scratch paper. The tip of his pen flowed across the page and emitted a pleasant scratching sound. The luminous afternoon sun shone through the transparent window.
Gently and softly.
Ye Jiacheng really drew out Tianmei Jia Park. He drew a for bit, asked Shi Jian a few questions, then continued drawing. Even if some things couldn’t return to the way they were, he was still willing to try.
Ye Jiacheng drew and Shi Jian watched. When Ye Jiacheng drew incorrectly, Shi Jian told him. For example, there was a lake there, and behind the lake was a natural wetland, so that they could often see the squirrels when they went out there after lunch.
“Are there little foxes?” Ye Jiacheng joked.
“I don’t think so……” Shi Jian shook her head.

Ye Jiacheng made a few light strokes, and drew two squirrels that looked like foxes. Shi Jian was slightly amused. Ye Jiacheng hadn’t seen Shi Jian smile like this in a long time, and also unconsciously smiled.
Ye Jiacheng continued to draw the landscape of “Tianmei Jia Park” relaxedly. He didn’t ask Shi Jian about all of it. He was thinking…… This was a mutual understanding that was unimaginable. Originally, Tianmei Jia Park was drawn by Ye Jiacheng himself. Later, it became the most sensational residential neighborhood in A-City after it opened.
A blueprint couldn’t be finished so quickly. When Ye Jiacheng stopped drawing, Shi Jian slowly turned her head. Ye Jiacheng looked up and happily thought: wait until he drew their home back; the little fox would probably forgive him then, right?
With effort, with diligence, everything could come back, right?
Ye Jiacheng received a call from Mama Ye. He stood and left the classroom. When he had gone back to Qinglin City recently, he hadn’t gone to his family’s home. His mother still learned that he called their housekeeper to ask about how to make seafood porridge.
In the end, before Mama Ye could even start asking, Ye Jiacheng started laughing.
Mama Ye was really curious. Did something good happen?
Ye Jiacheng was standing before the window outside the classroom. The afternoon sunshine was still slightly blinding and shone across Ye Jiacheng’s face dizzyingly. Ye Jiacheng’s gaze occasionally fell on Shi Jian, who was sitting inside. He not only didn’t hide it, but also said it cheerfully: “……Mom, I will work hard to marry Shi Jian and have her be your daughter-in-law. Can I?”
What?! Mama Ye was nearly stunned. Didn’t her son say that he wouldn’t get married within the next five years? She thought carefully and finally understood. As his mother, why wouldn’t she understand her son? When her husband was in the hospital, her son was abnormal from the time Ms.Shi broke the bracelet. But upon remembering those steely words that her son had said before, Mama Ye hummed and pressed: “Cheng Cheng, Mama isn’t in a rush anymore. You also don’t need to be in a rush.”
Ye Jiacheng chuckled and went along.
A person’s personality could change. Mama Ye had long hoped for a girl to appear to rein in her son a little. After chatting a little bit, Mama Ye was unable to conceal her happiness: “Cheng Cheng, Little Shi is a good girl. Since you understand having heart now, you should properly chase after Little Shi. Don’t make Little Shi upset anymore. If you have any problems, just give the family a call. Baba and Mama will help give you suggestions.”
Ye Jiacheng modestly smiled and agreed: “Alright.”
Ye Jiacheng returned to his seat. Shi Jian just happened to flip open his drawings. As Ye Jiacheng sat, Shi Jian withdrew her hand and looked away.
The little fox’s temperament was slowly returning. Ye Jiacheng felt overjoyed.
She didn’t know whether it was because Ye Jiacheng had been drawing Tianmei Jia Park everyday, but Shi Jian had dreamed about the house in Tianmei Jia Park a good couple times. The neat and advanced kitchen design, the raised living room ceiling, the romantic and nostalgic patio garden…… She walked through it strangely yet familiarly. She looked at each corner of the building. She felt warm and happy, as if things were quickly returning to their original state. She practically ran to the study, and then cautiously pushed open the door…… Ye Jiacheng really was drawing houses inside. When he was tired from drawing, he leaned back on his revolving chair and gazed at her. Then, he smiled and reached a hand out towards her, yet what came out of his mouth was: “Little fox, come give me a hug.”
She didn’t know what was happening as she was dreaming. She slept from the afternoon until the evening. When she woke, Ye Jiacheng’s voice really drifted into her ear. She went downstairs. Ye Jiacheng was already sitting in the living room of the Yang household and chatting with Yang Jiantao.
Two days ago, Yang Jiantao said this about Ye Jiacheng: “Miss Shi, this man who is returning for half eaten grass has definitely set his heart on you. Wasn’t it you who dumped Ye Jiacheng…… Who thought that he would break up with the lady of the Yi family and come back for you. You women from the Fang family just have such charm.”
Auntie was displeased with Uncle, “What are you going on about?”
Ye Jiacheng had come over to take her out on a date. He was sitting on the sofa politely and elegantly as he waited for her. He had even gotten a haircut. Ye Jiacheng’s hair probably hadn’t been trimmed in a long time. His slightly long hair was especially like those retro handsome men in Hong Kong style movies. The haircut he got made him look much more clean and elegant.
Ye Jiacheng’s hair had always grown very quickly. In the past, she always had to remind him to get it cut.
Shi Jian followed Ye Jiacheng out the door. No matter what, she should still tell Ye Jiacheng what she’d been thinking recently. The present was different from the past. Ye Jiachneng already knew about everything. Other than her anxiousness she had in the beginning, there were no unexpected misunderstandings. Their biggest regret and most frequently seen break up was a misunderstanding.
It wasn’t that she didn’t love him anymore. She only needed time. She didn’t know whether Ye Jiacheng was willing to wait for her. If he was willing, she would try her hardest to get herself together, to try her hardest for their happiness……
Just like when she got depressed after she lost Diandian, Mr.Ye had said to her: “Shi Jian, try your best to get better. Even if you are only trying once for our future, alright?”
