After the first snow, the weather continued to clear.

Jiang Ci participated in the tuning of a heavyweight piano competition, so she had been on a business trip this week. In the evening when the award was announced, she received a call from Lu Xingxue.

“Mom didn’t know that you were on a business trip, and sent a lot of dumplings.” Lu Xingxue’s words were also mixed with the sound of pots and bowls colliding.

Jiang Ci stood on the steps outside the concert hall and asked her: “What are you doing?

Cooking dumplings?”

Lu Xingxue couldn’t help laughing: “Yes. Mom also adjusted the sauce. I was not hungry, but it smelled too fragrant, so I cooked a few. Are you coming back tomorrow?”

Jiang Ci: “The plane tomorrow afternoon.”

Several contest judges familiar with Jiang Ci came out of the concert hall and ran into her, inviting her: “Director Jiang, do you really not want to go to the dinner party? You are the hero behind the scenes these days.”

Jiang Ci turned around, took away the phone and greeted them: “This time it’s really not convenient. Sorry, you eat well. “

Judge: “Then next time we have a chance, let’s get together again.”

Jiang Ci nodded and promised, waited to move the receiver to her ear again, just listening as Lu Xingxue asked her: “Not going with them?”

Jiang Ci “Wen Nian came to talk about the project and I have already made an appointment with her.”

The dumplings were tumbling in the boiling water, and Lu Xingxue took a long time to turn off the fire: “…Speaking of President Wen, Mom said that the skiing time has not been set yet. Aunt Ning never gave her a response.”

Jiang Ci: “Didn’t they say it last time?”

Lu Xingxue: “I don’t know, that’s what mom told me today.”

Soon after the two talked, Jiang Ci saw Wen Nian’s car approaching.

She walked down the steps, and assistant Xiao Chen chased up from behind: “Director Jiang, are you leaving?”

Jiang Ci: “Well, the car is here.”

Xiao Chen followed her gaze, and suddenly laughed three times. She ran over in two steps, knocking on the car window: “President Lu! Our Director Jiang has been tired for many days. You must treat her well tonight!”

Jiang Ci: “…”

When the car window came down, Wen Nian nodded at Xiao Chen: “Hello.”

“…” Xiao Chen was immediately at a loss: “I’m sorry, sorry, I thought it was Mrs. Lu… Hi, what is my brain, Director Jiang, you said you had an appointment with someone, I thought it was your wife who came…”

“It’s okay.” Jiang Ci opened the car door and got in.

She told her: “Go to the dinner party, don’t be late.”

Xiao Chen’s face and ears were red: “I see, you guys go slowly.”

As the wheels turned, Wen Nian seemed to be smiling but not smiling: “Why, does President Lu always pick you up?”

It was clear from her expression—she was deliberately making fun of people, Jiang Ci shook her head. Sigh, “Enough of you, It’s just that my assistant has a more dramatic personality.”

Wen Nian controlled the steering wheel: “Let’s talk, I have been tired for so many days, President Lu is not here, how can I reward you?”

“…Again? “Jiang Ci smiled as she said.

The two went to the western restaurant that Wen Nian had ordered in advance. The atmosphere and food were very good. After eating, they walked slowly along the lively pedestrian street. It was not cold, and Wen Nian saw it was still early and asked Jiang Ci, “Are there any places you want to go?”

Outside the pedestrian street is the night park. You can meet a small vendor who sells luminous headbands after just a few steps. There was a vendor selling to passersby: “Handsome guy, buy a headband for your girlfriend, wear it and go to the park to take pictures, so cute and beautiful.”

His arms were covered with various styles of headbands, Jiang Ci glanced inadvertently, and soon, glanced again.

“It’s too stupid, I don’t want it.” The girl hugged her boyfriend, so he laughed and refused.

At the end of the pedestrian street, the tall Ferris wheel in the park was adorned with colorful lights. In the night, it was particularly eye-catching. Jiang Ci slowed down: “Wen Nian, do you want to take a ride on the Ferris wheel?”

Wen Nian looked up and looked at it: “Let’s go.”

“Two beauties, go and buy the right headbands for the Ferris wheel. Be careful about the atmosphere.” The vendor heard only a few words and took the initiative to come over and show them the headbands on their arms.

Wen Nian asked Jiang Ci, “Do you want it?”

Jiang Ci said indifferently: “You can choose.”

Vendor: “What style do beautiful women like? This street has the most styles here, Mickey, Minnie, cat ears, rabbit ears…”

Jiang Ci took up a small crown, gesturing to Wen Nian’s head: “Is there any atmosphere?””

The vendor gave a thumbs up: “There must be.”

Jiang Ci laughed, Wen Nian also smiled, Jiang Ci gave her the crown and drew an antler. Before the antlers were put on, the vendor clapped his hands vigorously: “This is good! Beautiful girl, special for you, ah, so beautiful… It’s cheaper, one for 20, two for 40, if you sincerely want it, give me 35!”

In the night park, there were crowds of people, the Ferris wheel slowly turned, and the ground and people were getting farther and farther away.

The red glowing antlers were reflected on the cockpit glass, Jiang Ci admired the night view for a while, then turned around and asked Wen Nian, sitting opposite her: “Have we not been on the Ferris wheel together before?”

Wen Nian fiddled with the crown headband: “No.”

Jiang Ci thought of what Lu Xingxue said: “My mother asked your mother to go skiing, you know?”

Wen Nian replied after a few seconds: “I know, I listened to her.”

Jiang Ci: “Aunt Ning hasn’t decided yet?”

Wen Nian: “When I’m not by her side, she is timid, she wants to go for a while and dares not go; she can’t make up her mind.”

Jiang Ci: “Then you encourage her, Lu Xingxue has already arranged a trip to S country, so don’t worry about boarding, lodging, and travel, let alone my mother.”

The Ferris wheel has risen to the highest point, and there is nowhere to go down. The lights of the world blazed.

Wen Nian could see that Jiang Ci really wanted her to encourage her mother to visit S country. Her eyes fell on the red antler headband.

“Alright.” Wen Nian said.

The next day, at the airport in G city, Jiang Ci and other passengers came out, waiting for their luggage. Xiao Chen to the side struggled with the incident of greeting the wrong person yesterday: “The more I think about it, the more embarrassing it becomes. I’m sorry, Director Jiang, I blame myself for being rash.”

It’s not a big deal, not worth apologising for again, Jiang Ci comforted Xiao Chen: “It’s really okay. That was the sister who has grown up together with me since childhood.”

Xiao Chen was still blaming himself: “Director Jiang, I have embarrassed you T^T.”

Jiang Ci: “No. Don’t think about it.”

Jiang Ci’s indifferent tone was convincing, Xiao Chen quickly stopped the topic.

The luggage was delivered, and Xiao Chen graciously took Jiang Ci’s luggage down from the conveyor belt, looking back at her own: “By the way, Director Jiang, how will you go back later, will President Lu come to pick it up?”

Jiang Ci: “…”

How could Lu Xingxue come?

Jiang Ci patted Xiao Chen on the shoulder, wanting to say something, but gave up: “Let’s go.”

Xiao Chen followed in her footsteps, with great interest: “The first time I met President Lu at the Star Conservatory of Music, I really thought she was a star, too beautiful and temperamental! Later, other people in the company said it was the president of Forest, and I remembered various gossips on the Internet say that she is super nice and gentle. Director Jiang, you must be so happy! The last hot search was so sweet that I sque— screamed in the middle of the night!”

Xiao Chen is like a girl who has succeeded in chasing stars, with the back of her hands and face pressed, she was very excited. Jiang Ci was infected by her mood, and her lips curled up unknowingly.

The two dragged their luggage out one after another, Xiao Chen was chattering around Jiang Ci, and suddenly she was taken aback as she was talking.

Pulling on Jiang Ci’s sleeves: “Director Jiang! It’s President Lu! President Lu is there! Well, I knew that Mrs. Lu would definitely come to pick you up!”

Jiang Ci turned her eyes across the crowd—her eyes fell on Lu Xingxue.

She was too dazzling and eye-catching, standing some distance from the pick-up gate, black hair and red lips, elegant and dignified.

Lu Xingxue smiled and waved, walking over.

Xiao Chen: “Baby, kill the dog.”

【zen: dog as in single dog, a common way to refer to single people, in this case, herself. 】

Jiang Ci: “…”

“Welcome home.” Lu Xingxue looked at Jiang Ci,

Jiang Ci couldn’t hide her inner surprise, her eyes burned as she asked: “How do you have time to pick me up?”

Lu Xingxue: “The sky has changed outside, I’m afraid it will rain.”

“Oh,” Jiang Ci turned to Lu Xingxue and introduced Xiao Chen: “This is Xiao Chen, my assistant.”

Lu Xingxue stretched out her hand: “Hello.”

Xiao Chen was flattered: “I’m good, I’m good, and hello to you too, President Lu.”

【zen: Xiao Chen is essentially replying literally to Lu Xingxue’s ‘ni hao’ lit: you are good, by saying wo hao (lit: I am good) I think it’s meant to be a bit of a joke】

Lu Xingxue laughed: “Come with us, where are you going? We will send you off.”

Xiao Chen said without hesitation: “I don’t deserve it!”

Lu Xingxue: “…”

Xiao Chen hurriedly shook her hand: “I mean no, that, I have someone to pick me up! …Maybe they were delayed, I’ll call to remind them, don’t worry about me, go back quickly!”

Xiao Chen dragged her luggage away a few steps, and hurriedly took out her mobile phone.

When they were talking, Jiang Ci was holding back a smile, then Lu Xingxue asked her with uncertainty: “Then let’s go first? “

Jiang Ci smiled and said, “Let’s go.”

It was already dark when they got home, and the smell of food wafted out of the kitchen. She didn’t know what Aunt Zhuang was doing, but it smelled delicious. The temperature and humidity in the room are comfortable. Jiang Ci pulled Xing Li through the living room. She passed the flowers in a tall bottle and passed by the swimming fish happily spitting bubbles in the fish tank…

The light is warm, this is her home.

Jiang Ci turned her head to the stairs; Lu Xingxue just walked out of the kitchen. She met Jiang Ci’s gaze and smiled: “You can take a bath first, dinner will take a while.”

An unfamiliar warmth lingered in Jiang Ci’s heart, which moved her and felt relieved.

The dinner prepared by Aunt Zhuang was very rich, and Jiang Ci was a little overwhelmed. After dinner, she watched TV as she digested in the living room. Lu Xingxue moved her notebook and sat next to her to deal with company affairs.

Jiang Ci “Won’t it bother you?”

Lu Xingxue stared at the computer screen: “No.”

Jiang Ci quietly turned down the TV volume, and then quietly turned it up after a while when Lu Xingxue didn’t respond, it was really not enough to bother her.

She is working hard; maybe because of her glasses, the metal frame diluted her tenderness, and there was a faint sharpness between her eyebrows. She breathed very lightly, her red lips pursed slightly, and she looked a little serious.

The phone rang suddenly, Jiang Ci was frightened and jumped. Only then did she realize that she was fascinated by seeing Lu Xingxue, looking away in a hurry.

Lu Xingxue picked up the phone, and it was an unfamiliar call. Ordinary people won’t have her private number, so she could connect without thinking.

Jiang Ci couldn’t hear what the other party said, Lu Xingxue put down the computer. After listening for another half minute, she said “OK” and then hung up the phone.

Jiang Ci studied the TV seriously, and Lu Xingxue got up: “Jiang Ci, I have something to do, I’ll be going out.”

Jiang Ci changed the station: “Oh, okay.”

The car passed through in the winter night, with dark clouds surging above its head. Ten minutes later, the car lights illuminate the white plaque on the blue background of the police station.

Lu Xingxue got out of the car and walked in. The police station was brightly lit. The person leaning against the building’s outer wall and stomping because of the cold, heard high heels falling to the ground, looked up and saw her.

“That was pretty fast.” Tong Zhenni stood up straight.

For those unaware, She Belongs To Me is a completed story, and we’re past the halfway mark now! Exciting isn’t it? I’m really happy to watch Jiang Ci and Lu Xingxue just growing closer together.

With that in mind the next series I pick up will be decided on my discord, where there’s already a channel with for suggestions. It will probably be yuri (or baihe) so keep that in mind, but I am open to anything you find or jjwxc, or syosetu, or any other site. Just send me the novel title, description, and link.

Finally, I’m thinking about either adding a patreon and hosting more advance chapters there. If you’re a fan of this idea (or if you’re not) let me know on discord too~!
