When An Ancient Chinese Romance Novel Heroine Transmigrated Into A Lesbian Novel - Chapter 80

Jiang Jiang and Ji Xu’an stood side by side in front of the tombstone, and took turns to step forward and place the flowers in their hands on the ground.

After placing them, Ji Xu’an turned to look at Jiang Jiang and reached out her hand to her.

Jiang Jiang put her hand into Ji Xu’an’s palm, and the two held hands tightly, their bodies bathed in the sunlight, casting a harmonious shadow on the ground.

Ji Xu’an spoke in a low voice, her tone was not intense, but solemn in her calmness.

“Dad, Mom, this is my girlfriend, her name is Xie Jiang Jiang.”

Jiang Jiang listened very carefully, she did not interrupt Ji Xu’an. After Ji Xu’an finished introducing her, Jiang Jiang said softly, “Hello, Uncle and Aunt.”

The gentle wind traveled from afar, passing through the layers of leaves, and in the small rustling sound, it rolled up the long hair of the two scattered on their shoulders, as if it was some kind of silent echo.

Ji Xu’an’s eyebrows and eyes were even gentler, and her voice was low, only Jiang Jiang standing next to her could hear what she was saying.

“All of us are doing well, you don’t have to worry. If your spirits listening in the sky, please bless my and Jiang Jiang’s lives to be smooth and safe.”

Jiang Jiang didn’t know what to say. In fact, she didn’t believe in ghosts and gods that much before, but since exchanging identities with Xie Xiao, Jiang Jiang began to believe that perhaps there really was some unspeakable existence in this world.

It was also because of this that she didn’t promise Ji Xu’an’s parents anything.

But Ji Xu’an seemed to have a lot to say.

Jiang Jiang noticed that Ji Xu’an seemed to hesitate to glance at herself. Before Ji Xu’an could speak, she took the lead in letting go of Ji Xu’an’s hand, and said considerately, “Sister, you must have some other things to talk about with Uncle and Aunt, I’ll go wait for you over there.”

Ji Xu’an did not refuse.

So Jiang Jiang walked back along the way she came, and after turning a corner, she went down a few steps, and then stopped, turning to look at Ji Xu’an’s location.

From Jiang Jiang’s point of view, most of Ji Xu’an’s body was blocked by trees, only a small piece of her skirt was exposed.

Jiang Jiang raised her head and looked at the sunlight above her head. The dazzling light forced her to squint her eyes slightly, and her beautiful almond eyes seemed to be glowing with a transparent color in the light.

This scene clearly fell into the eyes of another person.

She paused, and then quickened her pace, walking towards Jiang Jiang.

“Miss Xie?”

After the person stood in front of her did Jiang Jiang turn her gaze to her.

The other person was wearing a black mask and a hat, and this outfit hid most of her face, with only a pair of eyes exposed to the air.

Jiang Jiang had a good memory, and she had already guessed the identity of the person, but there was no extra reaction on her face, and she even frowned in confusion.

“You are…?”

The person pulled her mask down, revealing a bright and generous face. As she smiled, she reached out her hand to Jiang Jiang.

“Hello, I’m Zhou Ziyi.”

…

Ji Xu’an was still unaware of what was happening not far away.

She did have some private things to say, and for some reason, Ji Xu’an didn’t want Jiang Jiang to hear them.

So when Jiang Jiang offered to leave, Ji Xu’an didn’t stop her.

After Jiang Jiang walked away, Ji Xu’an took a light breath, and looked at the photo on the tombstone with a fixed gaze, “Dad, Mom, I don’t know if people continue to exist as souls after death. Maybe death isn’t a complete departure.”

She paused, “Maybe you are watching me and Xiaoyuan somewhere.”

“If that’s the case, can you please help me?”

Her voice was even softer, like the smoke rising when a match burned, and before it could drift far, it had already dissipated in the wind.

“I don’t know where Jiang Jiang came from, and I don’t know if she will leave again. Maybe it’s not fair to the real Xie Xiao to say this, but if possible, I still hope Jiang Jiang can stay forever.”

“If she really has to go, she can take me too…”

Ji Xu’an didn’t say the words that followed. She stood silently in place, gazing for a long time at the smiling faces of her parents in the photo.

Two bird calls seemed to come from afar. In the midst of it all, Ji Xu’an seemed to have a premonition. She turned her head and glanced in Jiang Jiang’s direction.

Tall trees blocked Jiang Jiang’s figure. Ji Xu’an suddenly felt a little flustered in her heart. She pursed her lips, and there was a bit more uncertainty in her tone.

“Mom and Dad, we will be happy, right?”

No one answered her.

Ji Xu’an clenched her fist and then released it, a hint of melancholy in her eyes, “Actually, I know that there are some things I can only rely on myself, but…”

But what, until the end, Ji Xu’an didn’t say it.

She didn’t stay in front of her parents’ grave for too long. After saying what she wanted to say, Ji Xu’an prepared to leave.

At this time, Jiang Jiang had been chatting with Zhou Ziyi for a while.

Perhaps worried about being recognized, Zhou Ziyi quickly put her mask back on after saying that self-introduction.

“You should have heard of my name, right?” Zhou Ziyi said in a joking tone.

She was a popular female star, and even people who didn’t follow celebrities had more or less heard of her famous name, but Jiang Jiang felt that Zhou Ziyi’s sentence seemed to have another meaning.

It was the first time she had seen Zhou Ziyi in person. Even though it was just a quick glance just now, Jiang Jiang had still remembered Zhou Ziyi’s facial features in her heart.

The real Zhou Ziyi looked a little different from the one on TV shows. Perhaps it was because Zhou Ziyi wasn’t wearing makeup today. Jiang Jiang recalled her face, and a sense of familiarity suddenly arose in her heart.

Before she had time to figure out where this sense of familiarity came from, Zhou Ziyi’s next words interrupted her thoughts.

“Why aren’t you talking? Did I scare you?”

Jiang Jiang came back to her senses, “I have indeed watched Miss Zhou’s variety shows. But I’m very curious, how did Miss Zhou know me?”

Hearing this, the smile on Zhou Ziyi’s face seemed to fade a bit.

Jiang Jiang could know Zhou Zihui for a thousand and one reasons, but there was only one possibility for Zhou Zihui to know Jiang Jiang.

That was because Jiang Jiang was Ji Xu’an’s fiancée.

Zhou Ziyi’s gaffe was only for a moment. Her eyes had a faint smile from beginning to end, giving people an extremely kind feeling.

“I know, you are Xu’an…” Zhou Ziyi paused, and changed her words, “You are President Ji’s girlfriend.”

When mentioning Ji Xu’an, the emotions in Zhou Ziyi’s eyes suddenly became complicated, “I have always been very curious about what kind of girl you are, and I finally saw you today.”

Jiang Jiang “oh-ed”, “Why is Miss Zhou curious about me? Are all you celebrities so gossipy?”

Wasn’t it so? She even cared about her former boss’s girlfriend, and she was indeed interfering a bit too much.

Zhou Ziyi had heard that Jiang Jiang was a very timid and gentle girl. It wasn’t until she really had contact with Jiang Jiang today that she realized that the information she had obtained was wrong.

Being so sharp-tongued didn’t seem to have much to do with being timid and gentle.

“Not really, it’s because of Miss Xie’s identity.” Zhou Ziyi didn’t avoid the topic, her attitude was generous, “I have always cared a little more about President Ji’s affairs.”

Jiang Jiang had suspected before that Ji Xu’an and Zhou Ziyi had been together, although Ji Xu’an denied it later, and Grandma also said that there was no such thing, but looking at Zhou Ziyi’s attitude towards Ji Xu’an now, something must have happened between them.

Jiang Jiang didn’t know Ji Xu’an’s intentions, but she was sure that Zhou Ziyi definitely liked Ji Xu’an.

Jiang Jiang curved the corners of her lips, “Thank you for your concern for us. I don’t know much about Sister’s friends. If there is anything that offends you, I hope you don’t mind.”

Zhou Ziyi was stunned for a moment, and then laughed again, “I understand.”

Jiang Jiang stopped talking. Although Zhou Ziyi’s attitude was not bad, it was impolite to say in front of Jiang Jiang, the girlfriend, that she cared about Ji Xu’an.

Zhou Ziyi probably also knew what kind of personality Jiang Jiang had. Seeing Jiang Jiang’s silence, she asked softly, “Aren’t you angry when you see me?”

Jiang Jiang asked back, “Why should I be angry?”

Zhou Ziyi was silent for two seconds. She didn’t answer but asked, “Has Ji Xu’an never mentioned me to you?”

Jiang Jiang blinked, “Why would Sister mention you to me?”

Every sentence of Zhou Ziyi was implying that she had a different relationship with Ji Xu’an. If someone else heard these words, they might already have a grudge in their heart, and their face would more or less show some of it.

But it was unclear whether Jiang Jiang was pretending to be stupid or was really stupid. Zhou Ziyi didn’t see a trace of rejection or dislike in her eyes. It seemed that she really didn’t hear Zhou Ziyi’s implied meaning.

This gave Zhou Ziyi a sense of powerlessness as if she had punched cotton.

“That’s right, I’m overthinking it. It’s really not appropriate to talk about what happened between her and me too much.” Zhou Ziyi shook her head, “I’m sorry, Miss Xie, for taking up your time.”

“Just pretend I didn’t say these words today.”

She thought that Jiang Jiang would at least ask another question, but who knew that Jiang Jiang would nod seriously along with her words, “Okay.”

She also said quite considerately, “Don’t worry, I won’t tell Sister about this.”

Zhou Ziyi: “…”

The words Zhou Ziyi wanted to say were all blocked in her throat by Jiang Jiang, but this was exactly what she wanted, so she smiled again, “Thank you, Miss Xie. I’m relieved to have you take care of her.”

Jiang Jiang’s eyebrows and eyes curved, and a shy smile rippled in the dimples on her cheeks, “Actually, when we are together, Sister takes care of me more. I even suspect that she treats me like a child.”

The blush on her face stung Zhou Ziyi’s eyes, and Zhou Ziyi fell silent again.

She thought she could face Jiang Jiang calmly, but the hand hidden under her sleeve still unconsciously clenched her palm.

The two were staring at each other silently when Ji Xu’an, who was not far away, saw this scene and quickened her pace to walk over.

Jiang Jiang and Zhou Ziyi looked at Ji Xu’an at the same time, the expressions on their faces were different, but Ji Xu’an only focused her eyes on Jiang Jiang.

Not only that, but after standing still, she used her body to block Zhou Ziyi’s gaze towards Jiang Jiang.

After doing all this, Ji Xu’an lowered her eyes to look at Jiang Jiang’s eyes, and at the same time asked in a low voice, “Jiang Jiang, what happened just now?”

Listening to her tone, it seemed that she was afraid that Zhou Ziyi had bullied Jiang Jiang.

As soon as Ji Xu’an said this, Jiang Jiang clearly saw a fleeting look of loneliness in Zhou Ziyi’s eyes.

She shook her head, “It’s nothing, I just chatted with Miss Zhou for a few words.”

Ji Xu’an reached out and held Jiang Jiang’s fingers tightly, “What did you talk about?”

She didn’t look at Zhou Ziyi at all, she only wanted to hear what Jiang Jiang said, as if no matter what Jiang Jiang said, Ji Xu’an would believe it.

Before Jiang Jiang had time to answer, Zhou Ziyi, who was on the side, finally couldn’t stand being ignored anymore.

“President Ji.” Zhou Ziyi took a deep breath.

“Long time no see!”
