Jiang Mingyue showed the servant the screen that had been turned on again, and the three of them thanked them with relief.

Afterwards, he waited until Grandma Yue Zhongshan woke up from her afternoon nap, and the two of them ate some snacks on the wicker chair under the mulberry tree in the courtyard.

Today, two people went to buy honey three knives, sweet-scented osmanthus-flavored flower cakes with low-sugar orange juice.

Misandao oil is heavy in sugar, and the old man's stomach is weak, so he can't eat a few pieces. When Jiang Mingyue came home, Grandma Yue Zhongshan asked him to take the rest.

He made a decision last night, but because he thought that Xu Yingyu would be scared in the middle of the night, and he was afraid that he would not be able to say a few words on the phone, when Jiang Mingkai heard his voice was wrong, he impulsively went to Yue Zhongshan to fight without saying a word, so the original plan , waited overnight, and then went home and told Jiang Mingkai personally.

Obviously the situation has changed at this moment, and this can no longer be done immediately.

No matter what happens next, he has to talk to Yue Zhongshan first.

But Yue Zhongshan's mobile phone couldn't get through. The private number was busy at first, and then the phone was hung up, and then it was simply turned off.

What is worrying is that Yue Zhonglian can't get through the phone either.

Jiang Mingyue understood that that meant that Yue Zhongshan didn't want to see him at all.

He tried to put himself in Yue Zhongshan's place, rethinking the past few months they spent together, but it only took a short time before he had to stop.

Even though she still doesn't have a real sense of the fact that Yue Zhongshan may have liked him, and it is very likely that she once liked him, it does not prevent Jiang Mingyue from starting to feel sorry.

A kind of regret born out of helplessness teased by chance.

Jiang Mingyue realized that the natural look he tried to make when facing Yue Zhongshan should also be tantamount to humiliation in the eyes of the other party.

It was less than three o'clock after leaving Yue's house, Jiang Mingyue couldn't get in touch with Yue Zhongshan, and she didn't plan to go home for the time being, so she went to school first.

Take the things from the seat you occupied in the library and go to the laboratory.

The reason for asking for leave in the morning was a cold. When I entered the laboratory, several brothers and sisters I knew came to ask a few questions. Jiang Mingyue said that I was fine, so I added a few more baskets of test tubes to wash.

Wei Dongdong is also washing the experimental equipment next door, which is the material that Jiang Mingyue gave Rose last time.

The height is close to 1.9 meters, which does not match the height of the washing table. While washing, I beat my waist and twisted my neck, and my forehead was full of sweat.

Jiang Mingyue stuffed the cuffs of the lab coat into the first layer of rubber gloves, wrapped them tightly and put on the second layer. At the same time, he helped Jiang Mingyue move the two baskets of test tubes to the cleaning table.

Wei Dongdong said: "That's all?"

Jiang Mingyue said, "There are still two baskets in the laboratory."

Wei Dongdong said: "You wash it, I'll move it."

Jiang Mingyue thanked her, she was not polite, she turned on the tap to find detergent.

When Wei Dongdong brought all the things over, Jiang Mingyue said, "Brother, go and do your work. I'll wash them all as soon as I can."

Wei Dongdong still has a lot left, which is basically the same as Jiang Mingyue's unfinished work, so he said embarrassedly: "This is too much."

Jiang Mingyue said, "Anyway, I'm fine, so you can be busy."

Wei Dongdong was really in a hurry. There were all problems with the batch of data last week. He was so worried that his hair fell out recently. For a while, Jiang Mingyue's concern took over the girl's heart, and he said: "Good junior, I will buy you delicious food next time." .”

Jiang Mingyue smiled at him.

After being stained with a strong cleaning agent, the colors in the box instantly became colorful, and they were all chemicals. Several people in the laboratory threw them together regardless of the type after they were done, and they couldn't tell whether they were poisonous or not.

Jiang Mingyue changed gloves three times and washed them for two and a half hours before asking Wei Dongdong to throw the last basket of flasks into the dryer.

"Go eat." Wei Dongdong waited aside, watched him wash his hands, and said enthusiastically, "I don't want to eat in the canteen, I invite you to eat grilled fish or hot pot, you choose."

Jiang Mingyue said weakly, "I'm exhausted, I'll go home and rest."

Wei Dongdong insisted: "You have to eat. I heard from Xu Jie last time that your family lives across from the school, and we also eat across from the school. Let's sit down and have a rest."

"I didn't thank you for taking your things last time. I'm not being polite. Let's go."

Jiang Mingyue squeezed another pump of disinfectant hand sanitizer, washed her hands carefully for the second time, shook her head and said, "Brother, I really don't want to go, my waist is tired, you want to thank me, help me find something, teacher tomorrow Yes, I'm short of a summary."

Seeing his bitter face, Wei Dongdong also smiled, and said cheerfully: "Okay, small things, send me when you get home, and I'll take care of it for you tonight."

Jiang Mingyue said: "Translate it yourself, don't use translation software, or I will be the one who will be scolded."

Wei Dongdong patted his head: "I know, is your senior brother so unreliable?"

Right now, Wei Dongdong just waited for the calculation results. It was very interesting to see Jiang Mingyue listless with drooping eyes, so he sent him out and went to the cafeteria on the way.

Before the fork in the road parted, Jiang Mingyue was patted on the shoulder by him, and he managed to avoid being patted down.

"Hold your head high." Wei Dongdong said, "Those who didn't know thought you were broken in love."

Jiang Mingyue ignored him and carried the schoolbag in her hand on her shoulder.

After returning home, Jiang Mingyue gave the servants a break, sent the documents to Wei Dongdong, and went into the room to sleep.

Today, Grandma Yue Zhongshan and Wei Dongdong both said that he was not energetic, and it was true, he fell asleep, and when he woke up, it was dark.

He was still awake, his eyes half-opened, and he reached out to touch the phone.

There was no news or phone number from Yue Zhongshan, so he called again, closed his eyes, and put the phone to his ear.

This time I got through, but no one answered, Jiang Mingyue called three times in a row.

The third time he was finally picked up. Before Yue Zhongshan could speak, he said, "Can you go home first?"

Without hearing Yue Zhongshan's answer, Jiang Mingyue slowly turned over on the bed.

He slept for too long, and there was no one at home, so he slept deeply when he was quiet. At this moment, he felt very hot and lacked strength, and he felt that his tone was not convincing.

He calmed down, closed his eyes and said, "You said yesterday that there is still a lot of mess in my house. Can you tell me more about it?"

Yue Zhongshan said two words: "Casino."

Jiang Mingyue remembered that it was something in his father's hand when Jiang Wenzhi was around.

He never knew it before, and when he knew it, there was nothing he could do.

The underground casinos in Haicheng are very large, and after layers of skinning, almost everyone in the circle has one or two.

Jiang Wenzhi's rooms were particularly large in scale, and they were operating fairly well before. There was nothing too eye-catching in the place, and there was no poison at all.

But after his death, other stakeholders got involved. It's really hard to say what's going on now.

Even if Jiang Mingkai wanted to let go, he couldn't do it in a moment.

Jiang Mingyue said "Oh" and was silent for a while. Yue Zhongshan was probably still waiting for his reaction, so he had no choice but to say, "So you will report it?"

As usual, the tone was soft and low, as if they were just discussing strawberry or mango for dessert.

Yue Zhongshan couldn't completely forget his crying face last night all day, but now he listened to him as if nothing happened, and said annoyedly: "I have no obligation to tell you what I will do, Jiang Mingyue, there is only one sentence , don't even think about divorce."

He also wanted to tell Jiang Mingyue not to play with him a second time, but he always felt that he was the one who suffered the most humiliation after speaking out, so he didn't say anything.

"I'm going to hang up."

Jiang Mingyue said, "No."

Then he told him twice to go home, but Yue Zhongshan didn't respond.

Jiang Mingyue had no choice but to sit up from the bed, looking at the gloomy sky outside the window, the miscellaneous family heard the rustling sound of mattresses rubbing against each other, and said, "Three years ago, did you say anything to me?"

When Yue Zhongshan arrived home, Jiang Mingyue finally got rid of sleepiness completely.

He was sitting cross-legged on the sofa, the living room only had the fluorescent light of the TV screen, and the legs of his wide home trousers were rolled up a little, exposing his slender ankles.

There are still two finger marks on it, but if you don't look at it deliberately, it's not very obvious.

Jiang Mingyue was actually very embarrassed. When Yue Zhongshan ignored him, he rushed forward, but now that he came back, he didn't know what to say.

After a pause, he picked up the mobile phone beside him and rushed to Zhongshan and shook it: "I went to the hospital with grandma during the day, and I went to your house to see this in your room."

"I didn't mean to read it." Although he had already explained it over the phone, Jiang Mingyue added, "I'm sorry."

Yue Zhongshan didn't look at the phone, nor did he look at Jiang Mingyue, as if he didn't catch the point of Jiang Mingyue's words, he just asked, "Go to the hospital?"

Jiang Mingyue replied: "She said she had a headache, but the doctor said there was no major problem, let her sleep more."

The two fell silent again.

Yue Zhongshan was still standing in the entrance, not taking a step closer.

The expression on his face was indescribable, Jiang Mingyue couldn't read it, she just knew it wasn't angry, but it was ugly enough.

The corners of the mouth are straight, the jaw line is clenched tightly, the eyes are drooping, and the appearance of utter refusal to communicate.

It was clear that he came back just to communicate.

"Then let me say it first, although I don't remember much." Jiang Mingyue grabbed the fabric of the home pants.

He recounted all his memories of that day and the original intention of sending that message from beginning to end. When it came to staying overnight, Jiang Mingyue, who had written the manuscript, paused for a while.

He didn't realize that he lowered his head slowly, but he could feel Yue Zhongshan's eyes gradually falling on him.

"I thought it was Jing Yu." Jiang Mingyue wrung her hands tightly together on her lap, and frowned unconsciously, "Because she kept apologizing to me afterwards, I, I don't remember anything else... I I thought it was her at night."

At no time, and under any circumstances, did the recollection of it give him anything like pleasure.

Jiang Mingyue shrank her legs on the large sofa, and subconsciously looked for Yue Zhongshan's line of sight: "There are some... fragments, which are very vague and very far behind, and I only remember them intermittently. At the beginning, I don't remember anything. .”

Yue Zhongshan's eyes seemed to be scrutinizing, his face didn't seem to change at all, only the heaving of his chest was getting bigger and bigger.

"I don't understand." After a long time, Yue Zhongshan finally said.

"You didn't faint, you can walk, and you can talk." After speaking, he also began to frown, his Adam's apple slid several times, and his voice was difficult, "I ask you, do you want to go to the hospital first, you said you just want to sleep .”

That night, Yue Zhongshan got out of the car from the front yard with a large bouquet of flowers in his arms, and within a few steps, he bumped into Jiang Mingyue who was running over.

His footsteps were not very steady, Yue Zhongshan subconsciously grabbed his arm, and he fell into Yue Zhongshan's arms.

Yue Zhongshan only thought of coaxing him to get into his car first when he drank too much, felt soft and hot in his arms, felt that his hands were not in the right place, and his face was stiff.

Jiang Mingyue was quite obedient. After getting into the back seat, she even thanked Yue Zhongshan who was protecting his head.

Looking at the bouquet of flowers he was still holding in the other hand, he asked, "Do you want to give it to someone?"

Yue Zhongshan's heart was beating hard. It was originally used to celebrate Jiang Mingyue's achievements. It was very ordinary, but when he was asked suddenly, he couldn't even speak.

Fortunately, the dizzy Jiang Mingyue didn't care much about the answer. She blushed and leaned back on the seat back, whispering that she wanted a drink of water.

Yue Zhongshan leaned over to get water from the co-pilot, but Jiang Mingyue was weak and refused to take it, so he supported Jiang Mingyue's head to feed him.

He didn't want to move just now, and when Yue Zhongshan passed by, he held Yue Zhongshan's hand holding the water cup again, his fingertips were cold, and his palm was a little hot.

Afraid of choking him, Yue Zhongshan raised his hand carefully, and said in a low voice, "Don't move."

Jiang Mingyue stopped drinking when she heard the voice, and turned her face away from the glass to look at him: "Huh?"

The lips are also red, moist with water, but the expression is terribly dull.

"It's okay." Yue Zhongshan swallowed hard, and looked away in embarrassment, "Do you still drink?"

Jiang Mingyue said, "Oh."

This should be for drinking, Yue Zhongshan will continue to feed.

But he laughed for a while, and then "ah?", to be honest, he didn't move much, but to be honest, it was a little bit confusing.

In midsummer, when the sky is just getting dark, the ground is full of heat.

Yue Zhongshan turned on the air conditioner in the car, but the door behind him was left open, so warm air mixed with the fragrance of flowers kept coming in.

Jiang Mingyue's school entrance banquet was very lively, the venue was full of cars, and the sound of car horns going back and forth near him never stopped.

But Jiang Mingyue was drunk, staying in his car, she didn't seem to always want to avoid him like before, so even the heat, noise and car exhaust became cute.

After drinking some water, Jiang Mingyue was in better spirits, but her eyes seemed to contain a lot of water, and she always smiled when she looked at people with half-opened eyes.

Yue Zhongshan was dizzy and couldn't take his eyes off him.

"Did you see Jing Yu?"

"No." Yue Zhongshan didn't know who Jing Yu was at all, "Are you looking for her?"

"I won't look for it." Jiang Mingyue's eyes were a little blank, and she said it again, "I won't look for it."

The two of them talked a lot of unnutritive things, and when Jiang Mingyue closed his eyes and ignored them as if he was asleep, Yue Zhongshan stared at him.

Look at it for a while, look away, and then look back after a while.

He didn't notice how long they were in the car at first, maybe half an hour, maybe just a few minutes, or what to do next.

He was like an inexperienced kid, sitting next to Jiang Mingyue, answering a sentence from time to time, the dopamine in his blood was seriously over the limit, his whole body was overly anxious, and he was so excited that his adam's apple choked and hurt.

Jiang Mingyue fell asleep for a while, then woke up again in a daze, feeling cold on the seat with one hand.

Yue Zhongshan covered him with his own suit, but he quickly tore it off and said it was hot.

He is not a stalker, Yue Zhongshan only thinks that he has never been drunk and can't stand it. To be honest, he also likes to be tossed by him.

After a long time, he woke up after hearing an uncomfortable sound, thinking that he should not curl up the drunk in his car, but should find a place for Jiang Mingyue to rest.

With the current situation, Yue Zhongshan really didn't want to send him back immediately, so he made a detour and asked Jiang Mingyue if he should go to the hospital to prescribe some hangover medicine first.

Jiang Mingyue pressed her face to the car window, pushed away his outstretched hand, and didn't want him to touch it, muttering that she just wanted to sleep.

Yue Zhongshan took him home.

Although he didn't intend to do anything, he still knew that such behavior was not fair, but he didn't stop calling the driver.

On the way, he gave Jiang Mingyue a drinking soup, and halfway through, Jiang Mingyue finally fell asleep leaning against him, not asking for this or that.

Yue Zhongshan carried him upstairs and entered the master bedroom. When his back touched the mattress, Jiang Mingyue woke up. Her long and dense eyelashes trembled, but she couldn't open them. She covered her face with one hand and rubbed it. Whispering, he asked, "What are you doing?"

The voice was so low that it was almost inaudible.

Yue Zhongshan protected his head, put him on the pillow, covered him with a quilt, and said softly, "It's okay, go back to sleep."

Maybe before he finished speaking, Jiang Mingyue fell asleep again, with his hands still covering his face.

Yue Zhongshan took off his hands, pinched each finger pulp one by one, and then put it under the quilt.

After taking a bath, Yue Zhongshan slept on the couch in the room, with a blanket around his waist, facing the direction of the big bed.

Not long after, he heard Jiang Mingyue's restless movements, but he didn't move at first. Even though he didn't think of anything at the moment, it might be an instinct that made people feel extra sober and calm before something happened.

But Jiang Mingyue cried soon, or in other words, Jiang Mingyue let out an uncomfortable cry.

He moaned on Yue Zhongshan's bed, rubbing it over and over again, like a child, unwilling to feel unhappy, his lips were tightly pressed together, light blue blood vessels could be seen under his red eyelids, and the delicate skin was covered with heat, The tears that flowed wet the tufts of eyelashes.

Yue Zhongshan reacted belatedly, thinking that Jiang Mingyue might have touched something.

It should be brought by other restless children at the party, a little excitement, the hangover soup suppresses the wine, and makes it turn over.

He stood by the bed, with a wooden face, seemingly helpless, but in fact, some places started to clamor before reason.

When she was about to retreat, Jiang Mingyue leaned towards him, and because she had no strength, she lay crookedly on her side beside the bed, took one of his hands, sniffed and sobbed aggrievedly.

Yue Zhongshan didn't know, but he could recall all the details of that day.

What Jiang Mingyue said, all the changes in his expression, the temperature of the palm in his hand, the scalding skin, whether the ending sound he hummed was uncomfortable or liked, he thought he had forgotten, but he remembered them all.

He said "I don't understand", but both of them knew it, so there was nothing they didn't understand.

What Jiang Mingyue drank was far more than what he imagined for these children's playthings. The side effects were so serious that even Jing Yu, the instigator, might not have thought of it.

There's nothing he doesn't understand, it's just so wrong, his luck is so bad.

Jiang Mingyue lowered her head, not sure what Yue Zhongshan was thinking.

The air was too quiet, for a long time, he raised his head and saw Yue Zhongshan's frowning.

He had thought about what Yue Zhongshan would say in advance, and thought about all kinds of possibilities, but he didn't expect him to say: "I'm sorry."

Jiang Mingyue was stunned for a moment, seeing that the expression on Yue Zhongshan's face changed a few times, the only thing that remained the same was the eyebrow with the word Xiaochuan twisted out, and said again: "I'm sorry."

He tried to take a step closer to Jiang Mingyue, and seeing that he did not resist, he continued to move forward.

Walking two steps away, Yue Zhongshan swallowed, stretched his hand forward, and quickly retracted it, hanging on the hem of his suit trousers, turning his face slightly, as if too many emotions were surging in his chest.

He finally turned back and looked at Jiang Mingyue with a sincere and sincere tone: "I apologize to you for everything before."

Jiang Mingyue didn't have the opportunity to turn around and apologize because Yue Zhongshan quickly asked if he could not divorce.

He seemed to be withdrawing very quickly, his way of thinking after a long time in the mall was very direct, and his efficiency in thinking about problems was also far superior to that of Jiang Mingyue.

After explaining the misunderstanding, it's time to face the reality.

The problem between them now is indeed more than that night three years ago, and they can't even tell which is more serious.

After waking up, Jiang Mingyue took an oversized T-shirt and put it on. The neckline and cuffs were very wide, and his arms wrapped around his legs, making him appear to be very thin everywhere.

The exposed skin is whiter than most people, the fingertips are pink, the lips are very red, and that beautiful face is not aggressive. At this time, leaning against the corner of the sofa, there is no sign of it in the literal sense. force value.

His tone is gentle most of the time, never willing to embarrass anyone.

Last night, Yue Zhongshan pressed Jiang Mingyue like this into the mattress, listened hard to him crying "really not" and "please please", tried to force it, and even drank.

It combines all the most classic elements of domestic violence and marital rape/rape.

Throwing the contract on Jiang Mingyue, who dared not move while she was crying, slapped him in the face, verbal, physical, and personality humiliation, all of which were also available.

The two of them thought of this scene at the same time, and Jiang Mingyue couldn't help shaking.

Apart from the physical suppression, in fact Yue Zhongshan's words of threatening him did not make him feel too scared, but only strengthened his heart to separate.

His original plan was to resolve the misunderstanding with Yue Zhongshan face to face, after all, whether it was intentional or not, he was the one who hurt others.

But Yue Zhongshan's speech skills are obviously much better. They talked about the "disgusting" message, but Yue Zhongshan, who was originally a "victim", began to apologize.

The direction is completely out of Jiang Mingyue's control.

But he had to admit that Yue Zhongshan was right, and he was indeed going to explain clearly what to do or what to do.

Even if there is such a miss between him and Yue Zhongshan, it is a fact that he has no feelings for Yue Zhongshan no matter whether it is three years ago or three years later.

For Jiang Mingyue, the former Yue Zhongshan was just an older brother in the same class circle with little contact. If it wasn't like that, the text messages Yue Zhongshan sent him three years ago would not only show strange numbers.

Moreover, it is also a fact that the two people's personalities are not suitable. Jiang Mingyue is incompetent in accepting many of his actions.

These are just differences in the order of unveiling.

Yue Zhongshan said sorry first.

Then ask him, can you not divorce first.

He said that it was all his misunderstanding, and he bowed his head like never before, but his gesture was sincere and credible.

Jiang Mingyue couldn't tell.

"But I don't like you." Tell the truth when you don't know what to say, Jiang Mingyue clumsily followed this old method, rarely speaking without thinking, "I think... I think, our current state is really true It's unhealthy and it's not fair to you."

Yue Zhongshan said in a hoarse voice, "Is divorce fair to me?"

Jiang Mingyue said softly, "At least we have a chance to tidy up."

"You can start tidying up now."

Yue Zhongshan had already arrived beside him, looking down at him condescendingly.

That face is used to being serious, and it's easy to make a convincing expression, especially with the posture of two people, it's more than enough to deal with Jiang Mingyue: "Just give me a chance to chase you again, okay?"
