poppies in the attic

41.

"I was drunk that day." Xiang Jin said softly.

"If you still remember being drunk, you probably also remember that you called me a little fan?" Wu Pengzhi smiled triumphantly.

"Remember, that's drunk talk." Xiang Jin directly blocked Wu Pengzhi's way, the subtext was that drunk talk doesn't count.

Wu Pengzhi wanted to continue to be reasonable and unforgiving, but Xiang Jin turned her back with a single sentence.

"Pengzhi, do you know why I used the name "Guozhi"? That is to say, it has passed."

Wu Pengzhi was stunned.She didn't expect Xiang Jin to understand the word "passing" in this way.

"A Jin, you actually said it so lightly. But you didn't say goodbye to me at all. There is no end, how can it pass?"

When Wu Pengzhi said this, he didn't realize that he treated Chen Jie in exactly the same way.Wu Pengzhi is thinking from the perspective of an outcast at the moment.As another abandoned person, Chen Jie, would naturally use Chen Jie's method to teach Wu Pengzhi a lesson.This is something.

向瑾无法反驳。她不是没有理由，而是因为那都是些不便启齿的理由。

At the most basic level, in addition to the difference in intensity, there are also differences in the nature of the measurement of emotion.What Xiang Jin couldn't say was that she wasn't even sure whether her feelings for Wu Pengzhi were love or not.

The word love is very mysterious, so mysterious that from the perspective of an outsider, it is often confused with "hypocrisy".

The obsession with Wu Pengzhi's body and the pleasure of getting along with Wu Pengzhi are not problems, but Xiang Jin always feels that something else is missing.

Another reason is that time is like cooking food with warm fire, which gradually wears down the relationship between the two and erodes their once beautiful appearance.Xiang Jin thinks that Wu Pengzhi is still beautiful, even more beautiful, but there is no doubt that she has begun to age.

If the relationship between the two of them was unfair 15 years ago, it is equally unfair now.

Fifteen years ago, I was a woman in marriage, but Wu Pengzhi was still a pure girl.

Fifteen years later, he has begun to age, while Wu Peng is in the prime of his life.

Xiang Jin felt that 15 years ago, because of poverty and lack of success, she had withdrawn from the game, and she didn't think she was eligible to return to the game.

"I thought you already belonged emotionally, before you walked into this room." Xiang Jin said.This is the truth.

"You are the destination I want." Wu Pengzhi said enthusiastically.

Xiang Jin fell into silence again with difficulty.

In such cases, silence is more beneficial to both parties than continuous explanations.

Fortunately, at this moment, the mobile phone rang suddenly, allowing both of them to get rid of the embarrassment of being in a stalemate for a while.It's Huayue's call.She was impatient to know what Wu Pengzhi thought.

Seeing Wu Pengzhi's hesitation, Xiang Jin reminded, "You answer the phone."

Wu Pengzhi answered, and said "Hello" unnaturally.

Huayue asked a series of questions cracklingly.

Then the last sentence shocked Wu Pengzhi even more, "I'm almost at your house. I'm out for a walk, and I just want to come and have a look."

"Hey, you can walk more than ten kilometers as a pregnant woman?" Wu Pengzhi was almost pissed off.She was frustrated by Xiang Jin's attitude.

"Oh, you have a bad tone. Do you want me to help you, sister?" Huayue's EQ is high.She doesn't think it's inappropriate now, but has a premonition that this poor Wu Pengzhi needs a helping hand.If Wu Pengzhi has the ability to handle it, then she, Huayue, will come over to hear the good news, so don't waste it.

In Huayue's eyes, Wu Pengzhi is still naive and timid in terms of emotions, and his emotional intelligence is not very good.

For this sake, Wu Pengzhi couldn't stop Huayue's surging curiosity and willingness to help others.

Seeing Wu Pengzhi hang up the phone, Xiang Jin stood up, "Go ahead, I'll go first."

Wu Pengzhi grabbed Xiang Jin's hand, "You can't leave, Huayue is here to see you."

"Look at me? Who is Huayue? Why are you looking at me?" Xiang Jin didn't want to see outsiders.

"Hua Yue was the one who was supposed to be your model. She gave me the chance, and now she's full of regrets."

Only then did Xiang Jin frown and smile again.Emotional matters are too tricky, she needs a little time to think slowly.She'd be happy to be interrupted now.

With Wu Pengzhi, there will always be some excitement and a lot of life.This was something Laura couldn't give herself.

While talking, the doorbell rang.

"Did you fly here?" Wu Pengzhi opened the door and looked at Huayue, whose face was covered with sweat.The power of curiosity is so powerful, this senior sister who doesn't like sports actually sweated out of curiosity.

Huayue didn't even have time to pay attention to Wu Pengzhi, she flew over pregnant with Liujia, not to play tricks on Wu Pengzhi.While changing her slippers, Hua Yue probed into the room, and saw Xiang Jin standing in the middle of the living room, looking at her.

"Wow." Hua Yue exclaimed a little, and then said softly to Wu Pengzhi, "It's so charming." The so-called soft voice was actually a voice that Xiang Jin could hear.

"Nonsense." Wu Pengzhi replied proudly.She likes anyone who praises her Ah Jin.

"Do you want me to introduce you?" Wu Pengzhi followed Huayue and walked in.

"No need, Ajin, can I call you Ajin too? Follow me?" Huayue asked with a respectful but relaxed tone.

"Of course, Huayue." Xiang Jin smiled.He looked at Huayue intently.

If Huayue came to be a model back then, what would the painting look like?Xiang Jin knew that it would definitely not look like Wu Pengzhi, and there would be no subsequent poppy series, because that was the inspiration brought by Wu Pengzhi.Wu Pengzhi is unique.
