Zhao Jili lowered his eyelashes and sat by the river.

No one could find out where she was.Zhao Jili raised his eyes amusedly, and looked at the towering buildings on the other side of the river.

The noise and traffic on the opposite bank were separated by the river she was used to, as if it was a division, which made Zhao Jili feel a subtle sense of peace of mind.

She climbed over the wall that no one could have imagined, and avoided everyone's eyes and ears, just to return to this place she once called "home".

She glanced back at the houses behind her.What came into view was Qin Jueheng's room. Through the big and bright window, Zhao Jili could see all the familiar furnishings in that room.

She frantically wanted to catch a ray of light, but when the ray of light became too hot, she chose to escape in pain and entanglement.

Am I stupid? Zhao Ji thought ideally, looking at the window in a daze, looking at the black skirt that Qin Jueheng forgot to pick up by the window.

She's really a casual person.Zhao Jili frowned, and wanted to help her pick up the skirt that was on the ground, but in the end he still looked at it through a high window without moving.

I don't know how long time passed, and even the sky began to gradually darken.Zhao Jili was so startled by the faint light that suddenly lit up in the window that he finally came back to his senses.

Qin Jueheng's figure appeared by the window.Zhao Jili watched her walk towards the window without noticing, and then leaned her back against the French window, raising her hand as if talking to someone.

Zhao Jili looked at the curvature of her back, and after a while, he looked away and took out his mobile phone, with an unexplained smile on his lips, he pressed the power button.

Judging by her face, it seems that she is making an important call.If I give her a call at this time, what will she do?

Zhao Jili thought a little nastyly, exited the missed call and text message interface, and dialed the number she knew so well.

Everything was expected by Zhao Jili, Qin Jueheng hung up the previous call almost instantly, and transferred his own call.

"Where are you? Jili, where are you?" Qin Jueheng's voice was full of anxiety that Zhao Jili was not familiar with, but also contained some anger that Zhao Jili hated: "You come back, what can we say when we come back?" Okay? You give me the address, I'll pick you up now. It's late, don't run around, stay where you are. Where are you?"

"..." Zhao Jili raised his eyebrows as he listened to her talking to herself, but did not make a sound during the whole process.

"Ji Li? Are you listening?" Qin Jueheng glanced at the phone screen to confirm that he was still on the call. His face was stained with anger, he straightened up from the glass window, and turned to look out the window: "What do you want? You What the hell is going on? Do you still hate me?"

After a series of questions, Zhao Jili remained silent, and Qin Jueheng also fell into silence. For a while, the two could hear each other's subtle breathing.

"Ji Li, don't be self-willed. Tell me what you want from me, okay? If you don't want me to say these words, or don't want to see me, it's okay. I can try not to love you, or you can Go to Youling, she must be able to do better than me, okay?"

Seeing that Zhao Jili didn't answer, Qin Jueheng felt a little annoyed while being anxious.

"I think if this continues, there will be no good results for you or me. Ji Li, so be it. Since you hate me, I'll tell my eldest sister, and you will follow..."

"Ah."

Qin Jueheng heard this sneer clearly, and this slight and cold sneer immediately interrupted her words.

She clenched her phone tightly and looked out the window with a frown.

"Auntie, why do you always only do things according to your own ideas?" Zhao Jili suddenly stood up from the wooden chair behind the grass, and looked at Qin Jueheng from a distance.

Qin Jueheng obviously also saw Zhao Jili, she never imagined that the child she had been looking for all day was actually right in front of her eyes.

And this distant glance also made Qin Jueheng feel a little strange.

The child has grown up and can already be called a teenager.Qin Jueheng looked at Zhao Jili, who was slender and tall under Yu Yang, and held his breath for a moment.

"Where do you want to throw me this time?" Zhao Jili smiled mockingly at Qin Jueheng who was upstairs through a certain distance and an impenetrable glass barrier: "Because you have dirty thoughts about me." , where are you going to send me because you have miseducated me?"

"..." Qin Jueheng stared at Zhao Jili intently, lost his breath and lost his words.

"I hate you, Qin Jueheng. But I don't want to go anywhere."

Zhao Jili stared closely at Qin Jueheng, walked around the bushes that obscured his sight, and started walking towards the door of the house.

Qin Jueheng watched Zhao Jili slowly walk out of his sight without saying a word, and listened to the shallow breathing sound from the other end of the phone, until the familiar sound of unlocking the lock came, and Zhao Jili broke the short silence, With a tone of sarcasm and harshness, he said softly: "So Auntie, I'm back."

The sound of the door closing gently came from downstairs and from the phone, followed by a pale busy tone, hitting every inch of Qin Jueheng's consciousness.

Zhao Jili didn't come to look for her, nor did he do anything else, he just locked himself in the room.

Qin Jueheng didn't have the heart to argue with her anymore, she was still tired and trapped in everything just now.Zhao Jili came back, but Qin Jueheng was startled by her attitude.

The once well-behaved and docile child was finally fabricated by himself into the current surly and rebellious appearance.

She buried her face in her palm helplessly, and warm tears quickly fell between her fingers, bringing a cool and slightly itchy touch, spreading like ripples in her heart.

.

Qin Jueheng went out early in the morning, but the next day, Qin Jueheng found that Zhao Jili was earlier than himself.

When she habitually knocked on the door of Zhao Jili's room, she realized that Zhao Jili had already packed his books and left the house.

She didn't ask herself to send it off, and she didn't ask anyone to send it off, so she went to the summer training class quietly by herself.

It wasn't until this time that Qin Jueheng experienced for the first time the feeling that Zhao Jili had been terrified by.

She was hiding from herself, like a flood.Is she running away from herself? Qin Jueheng looked at the neatly stacked quilts and clean desk in Zhao Jili's room, and lowered his eyelashes.

In a daze, Qin Jueheng also remembered that something was always wrong.

Until now, more than a whole day has passed since that night, and there are only quarrels and conflicts between her and Zhao Jili.No one has really given each other their hearts, and no one has confessed their hearts to each other.

But it was always she who didn't want to listen to me.Qin Jueheng thought evasively, trying to exonerate himself from guilt.

But the uncontrollable sense of guilt still made Qin Jueheng pick up the phone submissively, and dialed Zhao Jili's number.

After three phone calls, Zhao Jili didn't respond, neither answered nor hung up, making Qin Jueheng stand there and wait for a long time.It wasn't until the fourth call that Qin Jueheng finally felt angry when he heard the mechanical "the other party has shut down" notification from his mobile phone.

She frowned and sent a few text messages, then exited the interface, turned around and walked downstairs with a cold expression.

On the other hand, Zhao Jili was sitting at the side of the office station completely relaxed, holding a glass of juice and looking at the pitch-black phone screen.

The road before [-]:[-] in the morning is still empty, not to mention that this is a river view residential area where few people come.

For a while, the early summer wind swept across the road in the morning, blowing and gathering the tiny camphor flowers that had fallen on the ground.Among the swaying treetops, the mottled light and shadow trembled with the wind.Zhao Jili raised his head with a smile on his face, and looked at the open clear sky above his head through the rustling treetops, with a mocking look on his face.

Soon a male friend arrived at the station.Zhao Jili smiled and slid the phone back into his pocket, held the strap of the shoulder bag with one hand, and jumped on the bus in a few steps.
