The Most Majestic You - Chapter 32 Part 1

Translated by Team DHH at http://dhh-workshop.blogspot.com



The Most Majestic You
Chapter 32 Part 1

Qianxi went back to the hotel with her broadcast team.


Several drunk ladies started to sing in the taxi on their way back.


“In my dreams, you are strangely familiar, different from all the others


You are the fantastic reality in my dream, the immortal star in the sky


You bring color to my life, even the black and white


Sadness and joy has its beginning, without an end……”


On the street of a strange city in a foreign country, the neon light signs of
bars downtown flickered, reflected in the river.  They mixed with the churning
stomachs and unsteady singing that went high and low.


“You are there when my dreams are lonely and lively, coming and going in a hurry


You are both a fantasy and reality in my dream, the neon lights at midnight


The coldness and warmth in my stomach is because of you……”


The smell of alcohol permeated the air.  It was like in a dream.


She deleted the first phone call from the phone log, then inhaled deeply.


He said he would walk to her.  But she already walked, step by step, to be right
in front of him, but the result wasn’t much different.  She recollected that he had
smiled back at her when he said, “Who gave you the confidence to feel that I don’t like you?”


Who else could it be except himself.


It seemed that someone had called her while she was lost in her own thoughts,
but she accidentally hung up.  She then waited for a very long time and never
received his second phone call.  She was so mad that she simply deleted every
record in her phone log.


She didn’t remember how many times there were in these four months that she
had decided that she would never like this man any more.


Why did she like such an annoying man.


Qianxi regretted again after she woke up the next morning.  Why did she decline
his phone call when she wasn’t thinking clearly.  She didn’t even realized it herself
when she had become so decisive.


Luckily, there was an important video conference interview today.  She quickly jumped
up to wash, rinse, and put on makeup.  She dressed herself and then sat down in front
of the computer.  The video conference connected. She acted like every occasion in the
past four months, once her brain was filled up with other matters, she could put some
other things behind her.


She talked with a smile to the interviewing admission officer in English for about an hour.  
She had prepared for most of the questions.  The result of interview was pretty good.  
She finally relaxed and took up her cell to call her friend about the good news.


Her cell phone showed-- --that she had missed another call, about half an hour ago.


Why did this man always only tried to call her once!


Qianxi moved her cell in different directions to get a  better signal.  The sunlight at the
side of the river Main came in through her fingertips as if could bring her good news.  
But the screen was still very quiet.


She angrily threw her cell at her bed and went to pack her luggage, preparing to go home.


The cell trapped in the blanket suddenly lit up.


Qianxi ran over to take a look.  It was a WeChat message -- --[Don’t want to answer the phone?]


…...Actually it was you who only ever called once.


She honestly answered: [I was in an interview just now.]


[Is it convenient to meet with me?]


Qianxi hesitated for a little while.  Actually it was very inconvenient: [I’m going to catch
my flight soon.  We should be able to meet if you go to the airport right now.]


He simply answered: [Ok.]


He had been avoiding her for so long.  Why did he suddenly…...want to meet again.


What was it now?


Qianxi was silent for a while.  She didn’t understand him, but she didn’t understand
herself either. She chose to believe that “all will be well at the end” and left for the
airport with the entire broadcast team.


There was still some time before boarding after they arrived at the airport.  She asked
her coworkers to check in for her.  She walked to the location they had agreed to meet
and found him already waiting there.


She didn’t take a careful look at him last night, but he stood there not far from her  She
could see him clearly------he was slimmer than before.  Perhaps because he had been
under stress playing the competition for several days, he looked a little bit haggard.


Why would she care for this man…...Ye Qianxi, you better get a grip on yourself.


Xu Jimo raised his head and saw her standing there quietly.


Qianxi released her clenched fists and walked forward.  “You came so early.”


Their relationship had turned somewhat awkward ever since last night.  Even her gaze
was stiff, she tried to keep a steady gaze so as not to reveal any sign of weakness.


Xu Jimo asked,  “How was the interview?”


“It’s alright.  I’m such a lovely and pleasant girl.  You’re probably the only one who would
reject me.”   She hefted her bag onto her shoulder, then she pretended to casually turn
around to walk back.


She was still the overly self confident Qianxi despite the fact that he hadn’t seen her for
several months. She still loved to brag about what she could do and still acted recklessly
and abruptly. She almost collided with a cart that was being pushed by an airport worker.


Xu Jimo dragged her back just in time.  The airport porter apologized to them in German.  
He held her in his arms to protect her and nodded to the porter in response.


The rude and impetuous Qianxi hadn’t recovered from the shock.  She softly struggled to
break free,  “Let go of me.”


He really released his hands slowly.  “Where do you plan to go?”


Qianxi stood steady and leered at him sulkily.  “To go eat sweets.  I become angry whenever
I see you.  I need to eat many and many sweets to recover my vitality.”


Of course whatever she said was how it was.  They walked into a dessert store at the airport.  
He ordered two of the famous matcha mille crepe cake.


Qianxi was eating the cake while complaining,  “Don’t you know that you need to order two
different desserts.  Then I can give you the one which tastes terrible to you.  Perhaps I might
cool off after I watch you eat all of it.”


“Then let me go ask which one tastes the most terrible here.”


“Don’t go.”  Qianxi suddenly stopped him.  Her eyes looked up at him.  “......Don’t you have
anything to say to me after coming to see me?”

“I do.”  But he immediately grew silent.
