After rebirth, my childhood friend became a clingy person

"We received a temporary document from the higher authorities today. The land for sale this time has increased by another 50 acres. However, it is not in the same place as before, but a little more remote. However, the price is cheaper, only 10,000."

"Fifty acres for only ten thousand?" Jiang Yuechu was a little bit unbelieving.

"Yeah, that's right!" Tao Chengan nodded, took a sip of tea, and then said: "I have some savings on hand now, and I didn't consider buying it before, but I saw that the girl bought it all without hesitation. I think you should have a good eye, so I also want to participate this time."

"how much do you have?"

"Four thousand." Tao Cheng'an was a little embarrassed. He had saved this little money by living frugally and selling some contraband goods privately.

She is nothing like me. She took out ten thousand yuan without blinking an eye. It's a bit embarrassing to talk about it.

"That means we still need another 6,000." Jiang Yuechu nodded, thinking in his heart that he had just been severely criticized by Ma Zhaodi last time, and he didn't know if he could get a little more this time. "When do you think you will need this money?"

"The documents have been sent down, and it will probably be done in the next two days." Tao Chengan also knew that it would not be easy to come up with another 6,000 yuan after just taking more than 10,000 yuan. "If you can't do it, I'll ask someone else..."

"No need. I'll figure out the money issue. I promise I'll get it to you in the next two days."

"Then this way, this piece of land a little further away will be given to me. As for the previous 40 acres, you two will each take 30%, and I'll take 40%. Do you think this is okay?" Jiang Yuechu looked at the two of them and asked.

That piece of land was close to the city and was definitely more valuable than the one in the suburbs, and she still gave Tao Chengan the 10% stake that she had promised before.

"No, 20% is enough for me." Tao Chengan also knew that she was giving the good things to him, so he quickly rejected her other 10%.

"This was promised before. One cannot go back on one's word."

While they were talking, the dishes were already on the table.

Lu Lin opened a bottle of wine and filled everyone's glasses.

"Since everyone is satisfied with the matter, let's have a toast to our future cooperation."

Jiang Yuechu didn't dare to drink more this time and just took a few sips. But Lu Lin, for some reason, drank quite a lot.

After dinner, Jiang Yuechu went to pay the bill and said goodbye to Tao Chengan. When he turned around, he found that he was a little drunk.

Jiang Yuechu then remembered that the man was drunk, so who would drive?

"Third brother, can you still walk?" Jiang Yuechu could only stand beside him and ask.

"Don't worry, I'm not drunk." Lu Lin waved his hands vigorously, as if trying to prove that he was not lying.

Well, he looks quite drunk, so he should just take a taxi back and ask him to pick it up himself tomorrow.

"Jiang Yuechu..." Jiang Yuechu, who was about to stop a car on the side of the road, heard him calling her name and could only stop and look at him in confusion. "I want to walk back, can you walk with me?"

Jiang Yuechu subconsciously looked down at her shoes. She was wearing a pair of white sneakers today, so it should be no problem for her to walk for half an hour.

"Okay, as long as you can hold on..."

"I'm really not drunk. My mind is clear. I just want to get some fresh air to get rid of the alcohol smell so that my mom won't nag me when I get home."

Maybe it was because it was almost the 15th, the moon tonight was big and round, stretching the shadows of the two people thin and long. It was already past the beginning of autumn, and the temperature at night was much lower than during the day, with a slight coolness, and not as hot and humid as during the day.

Lu Lin took off his police uniform jacket and hung it on his arm. He also unbuttoned the collar of his shirt underneath, making him look much more casual.

"How's work going lately? Is it hard?" Jiang Yuechu saw that he was a little absent-minded and thought that he was too tired from work.

"It's okay, I just run and retreat behind Master..."

Jiang Yuechu knew it was a half-hearted answer, so he stopped asking questions, and the two of them walked slowly back along the road.

"Jiang Yuechu..."

"Well, what's wrong?" Jiang Yuechu felt a little strange. He called her name but didn't say anything.

"There has been no news from Jiang Yannan for so long, are you...still waiting for him?"

Jiang Yuechu was silent for a long time and didn't say anything. In fact, she was in a very confused mood.

Sometimes I worry if something happened to him, but when I think of the few words he left, I get really angry. Since he could send her a message, why couldn't he explain why he left?

After such a long time, can't you even get a letter or a phone call?

It took more than a year, not a day, not a month. What kind of thing, or what place, made him forget the place where he grew up and himself who accompanied him.

"I don't know... I didn't wait for him on purpose. I just have too many things to do right now, so..."

"Jiang Yuechu, if you don't wait for Jiang Yannan anymore, then... can you give me a chance?" The man finally stopped and turned to look at the girl beside him with a focused expression and a serious tone.

"Third brother, you are drunk." Jiang Yuechu didn't expect him to suddenly say such a thing, and felt a little flustered.

"Just assume I'm drunk. If I wasn't drunk, I wouldn't dare say such a thing."

Perhaps it was because the moonlight tonight was too bright, the affection in the man's eyes was clearly visible.

"Jiang Yuechu, I have liked you for a long time, since high school. I have been working hard to make myself better, wanting to be able to match you. Unfortunately, it is a step too late. Now, since Jiang Yannan doesn't cherish you, I want to try hard once and stand by your side..."

"Third brother..." Jiang Yuechu didn't know how to respond to his feelings: "Actually, I'm not as good as you think. I'm just a girl from the countryside. Even if my godmother recognizes me as her goddaughter, it can't change my origin. People like me can't fit into your upper-class circle, and I don't want to fit in."

"In fact, our family doesn't pay much attention to the marriage between the two families. At that time, because of what my father said, sacrificing my eldest brother's happiness was enough. My second brother and I will never be sacrificed in a family marriage again. Can you give me a chance?"

Lu Lin grabbed her shoulders and lowered his head to look at her face. Although Jiang Yuechu was 1.65 meters tall, she still looked petite in front of a man who was nearly 1.9 meters tall. Lu Lin held her shoulders, as if she was in his arms.

Jiang Yuechu quickly pushed him away and took two steps back to put some distance between them.

"Third brother, in my heart, you will always be my third brother. This will not change now, and it will not change in the future..." Jiang Yuechu came to the side of the road and stopped a taxi. "It's too late. Let's go back early."

Without waiting for his answer, she opened the passenger door and got in.

Lu Lin stood there in a daze, with unspeakable pain in his heart. After all, he could not enter her heart.

……

On the same night, at a military base fifty kilometers away from Beijing.

Jiang Yannan was training hard on the playground, his face was already covered with sweat. He looked completely different from a year ago. His skin had turned bronze, his muscles had become stronger, and his once pale face had lost its childishness. It had become sharp and angular, and more calm and reserved.

"Jiang Yannan, someone is looking for you, in the battalion commander's office." A young man came running over from a distance and shouted at him.

Jiang Yannan stopped, took off the towel from his wrist and wiped the sweat off his face.

He didn't need to guess, he also knew who was looking for him. Since he was brought here more than a year ago, who else would come here to look for him except him.
