Love Affairs in Melbourne-Chapter 229 - 226: No Need to Hesitate

Qi Yi casually calculated a few times and was able to directly figure out which cards Yan Yan had in her hand. They were especially in sync. It was as if Qi Yi was leading Yan Yan all along, providing whatever suit of cards Yan Yan fancied playing.

Just when everyone’s cards were about halfway through, Qi Yi could roughly confirm what cards everyone still had left.

The most interesting part of playing cards must be an evenly matched game, a give and take. Winning or losing all depended on minute details.

This kind of one-sided game, where it was either destined to lose or destined to win, brought card-addicted Yan Yan to the brink of boredom.

The monotonous game session soon ended.

"Can’t you let people win a little?

You play cards like you don’t want any friends~

Back in high school, you played like this, but you needed someone like Liu Siyan who could calculate university entrance exam scores to play with you.

Us mere mortals just play cards for fun. Next time, don’t calculate the cards so fiercely, okay?" Yan Yan rarely thought Qi Yi’s mathematical skills were misapplied.

"I just don’t want to have friends. Having you is enough for me. If I don’t exhaust your card addiction, when will I have a chance to talk to you?" Qi Yi was obviously doing it on purpose.

"It’s late today. Let’s talk tomorrow. I still need to cling to Bao Bao’s leg." After her card addiction faded, Yan Yan started to feel sleepy.

"Why don’t you come to my room and stay awake with me until the jet lag passes before you sleep?" asked Qi Yi to Yan Yan.

"It’s not impossible, but don’t hold my hand and not let go.

Do you know how strong you were today?

My hand was almost numbed by you at Nobu.

Look, I can’t even move it now." Yan Yan shaped her left hand into a claw and waved it in front of Qi Yi.

"Waiwai, what exactly did my mom say to you when she called that time?" Qi Yi had wanted to ask Yan Yan this during dinner but didn’t know how to start.

"Huh? Why are you suddenly asking this?

You know, I’ve always had a selective memory.

I only remember your mother was quite forceful when she told me to convince you to apply to Peking University.

I can’t really recall what exactly she said." Receiving that phone call from Qi Yi’s mother had mainly scared Yan Yan, she really felt like she had done something wrong, which led her to decisively break up with Qi Yi.

After the breakup, Yan Yan devoted all her energy to how to not think about Qi Yi.

They had already broken up; what Qi Yi’s mother said about her wasn’t important anymore.

Sad things should be left in the past, Yan Yan wasn’t interested in constantly bringing up sad thoughts to torment herself.

"Well, it’s good you don’t remember." Qi Yi hugged Yan Yan tightly.

"Xiao Qizi, hugging each other to adjust to the jet lag might be a bit inappropriate?

Also, if you’re going to hug, could you please use a little less strength?

You’ve already given your all during the card game—

can’t you be a bit more lenient when it comes to hugging your girlfriend?" Yan Yan felt somewhat out of breath from Qi Yi’s hug.

Qi Yi let go of Yan Yan, standing there stunned with a guilty expression.

"Qi Yi, what’s wrong with you today?

Why do I feel like I encountered a fake Qi Yi today.

Is it because I came two hours later than we had originally planned and it upset you?

I wasn’t intentionally meeting up with Senior Brother Lei, it was really just accompanying my brother to reapply for his passport."

"I meant to say we should handle everything first, then come over here. You could rest properly first so that you would have energy to hang out with me in Milan tomorrow," Yan Yan decided to comfort her slightly wounded-looking boyfriend.

"Mm, I know," Qi Yi was not really bothered about Yan Yan being late.

"You know, yet still unhappy?

You’re supposed to stay for a few more days this time, aren’t you? Zhifei will go back to London tomorrow.

I thought we could hang out with him tonight.

But his card skills were just too bad and I couldn’t help but make him feel depressed.

Ah, why am I so hard to please when I play cards?

Good or bad, I complain either way.

It seems I’m not really suited for playing cards. I need to restrain myself in the future, otherwise, you will still have friends, but I won’t," Yan Yan started to reflect on herself.

"How could I possibly be unhappy seeing Waiwai?" Qi Yi adjusted his mood.

Since Yan Yan had already forgotten about it, there was no reason for him to bring it up again.

He could slowly start taking on his mother’s work from now on.

His mother acted that way because she misunderstood Yan Yan.

Qi Yi never felt there was a big communication barrier between him and his mother.

The matter of their breakup should have been put behind them long ago, and the reason for their past breakup should also be forgotten with time.

It must be because he rarely talked to his mother about his girlfriend that she reacted so unexpectedly today.

Qi Yi regretted hanging up on his mother immediately; he should have clarifed things with her right then.

Hanging up only caused more misunderstandings about Yan Yan from his mother.

Qi Yi was confident that, given a little time, he could convince his mother to accept Yan Yan.

After realizing this,

Qi Yi started to question his own behavior pattern. It had been so long since he’d seen Yan Yan, and he finally "lured" her to his room to share his jet lag. Why not focus on the important things instead of dwelling on something that had happened so long ago?

What’s the point of meeting up with a girlfriend?

Chatting can be done over the phone, through letters, there really is no need to meet in person to talk.

Having met in person, and having held hands, how can we say goodnight without a few French kisses?

Qi Yi pulled Yan Yan back into his arms, this time, his movements were utterly gentle.

"Today, I bullied you in public, which was a bit too much. I won’t do it anymore. From now on, it’ll be just like now, shutting the door and bullying you in the room, okay?" Qi Yi asked Yan Yan’s opinion.

"Mm, it’s good that you know your mistake~

Considering how handsome you are, I’ll forgive you this time~

But don’t let it happen again~

Come on, give your lady a kiss~" Yan Yan’s expression when saying her last sentence was clearly protesting.

If you want a kiss, just kiss, why say so much "nonsense" and ruin the mood?

Yan Yan felt quite a sense of achievement inside, both experiencing their first relationship, why was Qi Yi so much more immature than her?

In terms of IQ, Yan Yan admitted she was not as good as Qi Yi, but when it comes to EQ, that was not necessarily the case.

In Qi Yi’s room, a Kiss had absolutely nothing to hold back.
