Love [Silver] Perfect

FOR QIQI

By six o'clock in the evening, Steven Lou had already exited the apartment parking lot. As he walked towards the lobby, Ji Yu who was sitting in the garden was already watching him and as Steven Lou got closer, he called out, too,

"Stevens!"

Steven Lou turned his head and stopped, but only remained silent on the spot. He thought, what was Ji Yu there for as if he was deliberately waiting for her?

"Qiqi is sleeping and there is Uncle Ping guarding her. I was deliberately waiting for you, there was something important I wanted to talk about."

Steven Lou is reluctant. The experience all along taught him not to get close to the bespectacled young man without Jiang Lizqi being with them. However, curiosity supported him even more so that he stepped over to Ji Yu.

After facing each other, the two just stared at each other. Ji Yu who was not good at concealing feelings was clearly very awkward, whereas the shrewd Steven Lou was able to cover up the true feelings behind the cold expression.

"Sit down" Ji Yu said then as he secured himself on the park bench.

Ji Yu's attitude like that was much more fitting with her geeky appearance. But in reality, Ji Yu was neither geeky nor a nervous artisan. Steven Lou suddenly so thought about Jiang Lizqi's health condition, plus Ji Yu chose a place that was far from Jiang Lizqi's hearing range, his suspicions became even greater.

"What happened to Jiang Lizqi?" He asked as he stared intently at Ji Yu, making the bespectacled young man stiffen, like he was being bullied.

"In-he's fine. Just a little wind."

This was the first time Ji Yu had stuttered while talking to him. Steven Lou looked suspiciously.

"Then why do you look so nervous and anxious? Don't try to hide anything from me."

For a moment Ji Yu was stunned, then because of the words Steven Lou accused, his attitude automatically returned to the factory suit.

"Try to hide what?! About his health where maybe I dare to mess around!"

Steven Lou stared flat for a moment, then turned to face forward and leaned against the dividing wall which at once served as a pot of ornamental plants.

After exhaling a coarse breath he asked, "What's wrong?"

Not immediately answering, Ji Yu did the same, looked straight ahead and regained consciousness, only to say, "Old man Qiqi wants to come tomorrow."

Steven Lou's face stiffened. After almost half a year together, only now did he remember that Jiang Lizqi was not an orphan. All this time he did not care at all until it felt like the girl was in the world just like that without the parent's intermediary.

Old man, suddenly his heart felt sour. Those two words were like a terrifying curse that he never wanted to hear or encounter. The bitter experience with both of his parents, had unconsciously created a bad stigma in his heart. Although he had tried not to generalize, but it was too difficult for him to think of good things about parents.

However, if he wanted to obtain Jiang Lizqi, he would inevitably someday have to face his parents as well. It's just a matter of time. If the time to face him comes sooner, he must be ready.

"What kind of people are they?"

Steven Lou's voice lost its identity, was softer, hoarse and vibrating. Ji Yu looked at him, inwardly sneering as it turned out that there was also something that could make the young songbirds tremble.

As Ji Yu did not reply, Steven Lou repeated the question, "I mean, Jiang Lizqi's old man-"

Ji Yu interjected, "They're the old people who believe that the young people from the city are all no good. They always warned Qiqi not to get in touch with the townspeople. They also still uphold the culture of matchmaking."

"What?" Steven Lou immediately felt himself far from the criteria. Not nothing his heart was panicked and his guts shriveled. However, he did not wish to lose Jiang Lizqi.

Ji Yu looked at pity. Steven Lou is a bitch, but he loves his best friend Jiang Lizqi very much. Ji Yu also admitted that Steven Lou deserves to be with Jiang Lizqi. Much more worthy than the two-faced Wei Erhou.

"Tomorrow they will come with someone who has been betrothed to Qiqi long ago."

"What?!" Steven Lou immediately sat up straight and looked at Ji Yu's nanar. "Then how-then-where do you know all this?" Anxious and nervous Steven Lou so talk haphazardly.

"I contacted them just to tell them the state of Qiqi, how know it would be like this. But it's also better to know sooner ...."

Steven Lou did not understand Ji Yu's intentions. The young man exhaled a long breath and returned to leaning. "And what does that mean?"

"I know the man who was betrothed to Qiqi is not a good person. I don't want Qiqi to suffer."

"Aren't I not a good person in your eyes, either?"

"Indeed, but Qiqi really likes you. We've been best friends since childhood, so I know exactly what she looks like. He had never liked anyone, let alone been dating. Besides because her parents are very conservative, also because Qiqi herself is the type of girl who prioritizes learning. But you've changed it in just a few weeks."

"No!" ji Yu almost exclaimed. He is proud to admit that Steven Lou is better than Wei Erhou. "You are the chosen one Qiqi. There's no other reason. For the sake of Qiqi who has been blinded by your love, I am forced to agree." After that, Ji Yu stood up. "I'm home."

"Ji Yu ...."

Ji Yu who was just about to step was staring fiercely at Steven Lou. "What else?"

"Thank you."

A moment Ji Yu's face stiffened, but then came back fierce. "no need. I didn't do it for you. Be careful if you hurt him. I'll make your life hell!"

Steven Lou stared at Ji Yu's departure in silence with a frowning forehead. I'll make your life hell, that sentence makes it feel dejavu. Didn't he just utter it a few tens of minutes ago to bully Shi Yijie and Shen Jiaying.

Jiang Lizqi, you are very lucky to have a lover and friend who for the sake of protecting you is willing to become a hell creature.

The young man smiled faintly, momentarily forgetting about old man Jiang Lizqi who was coming tomorrow. However, when he opened the apartment door and immediately saw Jiang Lizqi sitting pensively on the sofa while hugging her legs, his heart instantly rippled incensefully. But that feeling soon dissipated as Jiang Lizqi greeted him cheerfully.

"Stevens!" As soon as he saw it, Jiang Lizqi immediately jumped down and scattered to hug him.

"Miss, why don't you wear sandals?" Uncle Ping appeared from the kitchen direction while carrying a cup of drink that was still puffing smoke.

"No chance, Uncle."

"Rubble." Steven Lou muttered while taking off his shoes, then lifted Jiang Lizqi and carried her bridal style.

The girl laughed like she was not sick. "Uncle see, right? I don't need any footwear at all."

Uncle Ping only responded with a smile, then said as he placed the cup on the table, "Diminished the herbal medicine first." After that, go back to the kitchen. "Dine is ready in thirty minutes!" then shouted.

"Thank you, Uncle Ping!" Jiang Lizqi shouted back.

Steven Lou sat down and let Jiang Lizqi stay on top of his lap, then touched his forehead. It's not hot anymore. "How does it feel?"

"Just in the wind. It's healed now."

"Take the medicine first." Steven Lou took the cup from the table, blew it for a while, then thrust it into Jiang Lizqi's mouth.

The girl smiled widely and took her medicine slowly right out of Steven Lou's hands. In fact Jiang Lizqi's change of attitude from independent to spoiled was not just to make use of Steven Lou's affection.

That's because Lou Haikuan once said, that it would be more fun for Steven Lou if given the opportunity to show his affection and attention. In other words, Lou Haikuan hoped that Jiang Lizqi would be willing to reduce her independence in the presence of Steven Lou. So that the young man feels needed because then he will also feel himself meaningful and useful.

At first it was quite difficult to restore the confidence of Steven Lou after what happened. However, after Jiang Lizqi followed Lou Haikuan's advice, Steven Lou slowly and surely regained his confidence. By indulging Jiang Lizqi, the young man felt he had done something very useful and wanted to continue doing it.

To Jiang Lizqi who had been too hard on herself all along, Steven Lou's care and affection felt like a splash of rain in the midst of a long drought. Makes him realize that all this time he really needed water droplets. But because it is accustomed to drought, the need was not considered necessary or important. You can still live without it all.

However, like a plant that has been refreshed and flowering, she feels like she is in love every day and is getting more comfortable with her current lifestyle. He wanted to continue to be pampered as long as it did not make Steven Lou feel bothered.

"Have you taken a shower?" Steven Lou asked as he sniffed at Jiang Lizqi's neck. The smell of fresh roses is also smelled.

"It has. You shower there. I'll get you a change of clothes."

Jiang Lizqi was already about to descend from the lap, but Steven Lou prevented it. "no need. Just wait here."

The young man sat the lover on the sofa, peed his forehead, and then stepped away. After his death, Jiang Lizqi touched his forehead and smiled gently. He was very sure, in this world there would not be a man who would love him like Steven Lou. A moment later his face turned grim as he remembered his parents who were coming tomorrow.

At the same time, Ji Yu, who had just arrived at her rented room, seemed to be pacing back and forth while cradling a cellphone. It seemed like he was considering contacting someone or not.

"Damn!" Suddenly he stopped and cursed. "Why should he? Like there's no one else. Two-faced hypocrite."

He stared intently at the phone, like he was staring at the person he hated the most. "For Qiqi's sake, I should talk to that bastard."
