love in bloom

"Mr. Yao, I have found all the information you want."

"Well, let's put it aside first."

"Okay." Xiaoshu put the stack of research reports on the table, seeing that the teacup in front of her boss was empty, she went to make tea automatically.He took two steps but was stopped.

"Change to coffee." Yao Qingshu said calmly.

"Huh?" Xiaoshu was stunned for a moment, but then she came to her senses, responded with a smile, and went to the counter to get coffee beans and another cup.

Uncover the lid on the coffee machine and pour in some, add water and grind.Can't help but glance back.

The person sitting behind the desk is concentrating on reviewing the documents, and the pen tip moves line by line on the paper with the speed of browsing, occasionally circling some.There was always a layer of melancholy between the brows, which made the already cold and distant face even more inhumane.

They, Mr. Yao, haven't had coffee in the office for a long time. He probably has a bad spirit and a bad mood today.Smiles were seldom seen during this time.

However, several major projects of the company have been progressing smoothly recently, new buildings have been completed and put on sale one after another, and quarterly revenues have continued to increase. What's not going well?

Xiao Shu thought about it, and was suddenly startled: Could it be... the goddess is frustrated in love?

Yao Qingshu didn't notice a certain secretary's worried peeping.Her eyes were on the document, her mind had already moved elsewhere.

Lin Yue didn't call her back.

Thinking about this matter, I have been restless and unable to devote myself to work.However, the mobile phone placed aside to distract her was still quiet, without any ringing that she expected.

Are you still angry?

When Lin Yue was pushed away that night, the other party's face was hurt and disappointed, even with a bit of hatred, and he couldn't bear to read the documents in front of him.

She picked up the phone, and at the same time as she pressed it, a message just popped up.

The heart suddenly rose, and then suddenly fell.

It was sent by Jiang Xin, secretly took a picture of An Zijun reading the newspaper in front of the hospital bed, and asked her if she was pretty...

Yao Qingshu rubbed the center of his eyebrows, and flipped the phone back to the table.

"Hey..." On the other side of the hospital, Jiang Xin secretly took another picture, giggling contentedly.

Suddenly, I found that An Zijun's side face was also very good-looking, especially when he raised his hand to brush his hair by his ears, he looked like those dignified and quiet ladies in ancient times.

"Stop playing with your phone while eating." An Zijun's cool voice came over, interrupting her nympho.

"Oh." Miss Jiang put it away obediently.But the mind couldn't bear to be active.

Think about it, if there was no such a big fire, what kind of state would the relationship between her and An Zijun be in?

Still as lukewarm as before, seems to have become ordinary friends, but the invitations are always dismissed, or has finally made some progress, and An Zijun is willing to be more pleasant to her?

Anyway, there will never be such a warm relationship now.

Jiang Xin bit the plastic fork, and her gaze began to drift to the opposite side again.An Zijun was sitting less than half a meter away from her at the moment, reading the newspaper leisurely, and occasionally she would chat with her in a warm voice when she said something.

Seems like a very close relationship.This was unthinkable even a week ago.

But what about after the injury on his body heals and he is discharged from the hospital?

An Zijun moved out of her home, moved into another house, continued to be busy with his career and work, and no longer took time to meet and chat with her, buy her breakfast, then they would have to return to the original state of apathy... …

The more Jiang Xin thought about it, the more he felt uncomfortable.He took a bite of his siu mai, and called out vaguely, "An Zijun."

"Huh?" An Zijun agreed casually.

Jiang Xin: "After you leave the hospital, can you not move out?"

Seeing that the person in front of me wanted to object, she quickly pretended to be pitiful: "Don't rush to find a house, just stay with me for a few days. Anyway, I, a disabled person, won't do anything to you, so what if I have one more."

"Hey, I'm not going to recover from my injury. I live in such a miserable state, with no one to take care of me and no one to talk to me."

"You can go home and live with your parents and family." An Zijun replied angrily.But looking at her eyes full of expectation like a small animal, after all, she can't simply refuse like before.

I had no choice but to postpone the topic: "Let's talk about it later."

"Okay." Leaving it later proves that there is a chance.Jiang Xin raised the corners of her mouth, she understood that An Zijun is a woman who takes soft things but not tough ones.

Once I feel better, I turn my attention back to my breakfast.After eating with relish, I packed the paper cup lunch box and used tissues together.

Although the left hand is still wrapped in gauze, the movement of one hand is not clumsy.

An Zijun looked at her natural movements and was slightly taken aback.In fact, when she moved into Jiang Xin's house yesterday, she found that it was quite clean, and everything was placed in an orderly manner.There are fresh ingredients in the refrigerator, and the flowers and plants on the balcony are also very beautifully maintained.

I don’t know if it’s because I’ve been there twice, but I don’t feel unfamiliar or resisted after staying here...

"You should just lie down, and I'll fix it so you don't hurt your wound." An Zijun took the things in Jiang Xin's hands, packed them up and put them in the trash can, and asked casually, "By the way, did you hire a part-time worker to clean the house?" ?"

"No, I usually clean it up myself." Jiang Xin thought of something, and hurriedly said, "Is it a mess? Then I'll call an auntie..."

"No need, it's not messy at all." An Zijun paused and said softly, "It's pretty good."

"Oh..." Jiang Xin suddenly came to his senses, raised his eyebrows, and leaned over shamelessly: "Oh, are you complimenting me? I finally found out that I am actually very virtuous and capable, IKEA IKEA, right?"

"Heh, I always thought you were an arrogant young lady who doesn't work hard and doesn't distinguish between grains and grains and only spends enjoyment."

"What! Such a bad impression?" Jiang Xin exaggerated and covered her heart: "Ah, my heart hurts, my hands hurt, and even my legs hurt."

"Pfft, if it hurts any more I'll call the doctor." An Zijun rarely joked with her.The tone and demeanor of the speech at the moment felt much softer.

The atmosphere is not bad.

But after chatting with each other, An Zijun gradually noticed that Jiang Xin had something on his mind.Originally, I wanted to wait until the other party couldn't hold back what I said, but I really couldn't bear the tangled look of hesitating to speak, so I asked directly: "Tell me, what's the matter?"

Jiang Xin: "I told you, don't be angry."

An Zijun raised his eyebrows, folded his arms, and said nothing.

Seeing her serious posture, Jiang Xin felt apprehensive.After being coy for a long time, I finally took out the brown paper bound book from my bag with some reluctance, "Here, I return this to you. The diary."

"Qu Xi's diary!" An Zijun quickly took it over, and his gaze immediately changed when he saw her, "Why are you here?"

"I rushed into your room when it was on fire, and when I saw it fell in your hand, I wrapped it in my clothes and brought it out with me." Jiang Xin saw that her eyes were scratched like knives in surprise, and she was a little hurt, "I'm sorry , I will return it to you now."

Then he said cautiously: "I... I looked through it, and there are photos of you before."

"Jiang Xin, you!" The person opposite stood up angrily.

"Hey, don't you want to be angry!" Miss Jiang straightened her back, looked at each other for a moment but then stopped, humming aggrievedly: "All I saw were your photos, and I didn't see much of what you wrote."

An Zijun gritted his teeth and endured it, and lowered his head to check the things in his hand.After confirming that the diary was intact, he was relieved and at the same time had another breath in his heart.

Not to thank you, not to blame... Tell her what to do with this person!

"Don't be angry." Jiang Xin moved over and tugged An Zijun's hand flatteringly, but was slapped away mercilessly, and even stared fiercely.But in this way, she was not afraid anymore, and said with a smile: "An Zijun, do you know what is the biggest change in yourself compared to before?"

An Zijun was so angry that she didn't want to answer, so she continued, "You can't laugh anymore."

"Can't laugh?"

"Yeah, didn't you notice? Your smile doesn't reach your eyes."

An Zijun was stunned by these words.

Jiang Xin looked at her deeply, "You should take a good look at the diary she left for you."

"Qu Xie said that your smile is like the warm sun in spring, where the water in the pool ripples, and the dust in the air also shines brightly."

"Stop talking about it!" An Zijun's breath suddenly became sharp, with a stern look on his face, "Don't talk about her in front of me over and over again."

"Why can't you say it?" Jiang Xin asked back.

"you!"

An Zijun bit his lip bitterly.Just like that, no one will admit defeat, but his eyes are a little red.

Jiang Xin felt uncomfortable watching, but had to force the other party to face it, "Don't continue like this."

She said in a deep voice: "Love shouldn't be such a painful thing. If you recall that person and there is only pain, is that still love?"

"How can you understand?"

"Yes, maybe I don't understand. But I think Qu Yu wrote down those things, posted photos of you smiling, and left it to you, not to let you immerse yourself in pain, but to let you remember the beauty of the past .”

"I know that Qu Mei is irreplaceable in your heart." She held An Zijun's hand, "You can always remember Qu Mei, but only remember the happy part."

"Then starting today, slowly fill in it together with the happiness I brought you—recover the original self who smiled from the heart."

"Jiang Xin..." An Zijun was hit hard by something in his heart.He tried to break free in a panic but was held tightly, his fingers clasped together.

"Get out with me." Jiang Xin said seriously.

An Zijun's eyes trembled, "Don't do this, I..."

"Think clearly." Jiang Xin pulled her closer again, "One lifetime is not long. No matter what, I still want to fight for the happiness of the rest of my life."

It was like sighing and teasing, but his expression was firm and decisive, "So An Zijun, let me ask you, do you dare to love again, if the object is me."

"Do you still dare?"

Asking like this, his eyes looked over without blinking, like a fine net, firmly grasping her.An Zijun struggled to look away, there was a small boat in his heart that was swaying in the waves, and some thoughts that had never occurred to him were like fine sand at the bottom of the water, suddenly being swept up, floating up and down.

The warmth and slight trembling could be felt more and more clearly in the tightly held hands.Even with that, I couldn't help trembling.

Finally, he loosened, compromised, and made concessions.Replied in a low voice: "Let me... think about it."

Unexpectedly, Jiang Xin shook her head and said stubbornly, "I won't give you time to think about it, An Zijun."

Hoarseness.

An Zijun raised his head in surprise, only to realize that the eyes looking at him had already gathered mist.

"I don't want to give you time to think about it. I'm afraid that once you think about it, you will regret it, and you will shrink back into your closed corner without looking back... It took me a long time to muster up the courage to say these things to you."

"And you see, there will always be so many accidents in life, no one can predict. Continue to wait, when will we wait? How much time will we waste together?"

Jiang Xin's throat was choked, tears fell and she was reluctant to let go of her hand to wipe them.

After a long pause, he said in a trembling voice, "I almost lost you."

Almost lost it.

Of course An Zijun understood what this sentence meant.

It was like a huge wave turned up and then subsided all of a sudden.The sand and stone sank to the bottom of the water, and many muddy things became clear.She finally stopped avoiding, and looked straight at the fragile and stubborn appearance of the man in front of her, until her own vision was also blurred, and then closed the same moist eyes.

Taking a step closer, he opened his arms and hugged him gently.

Maybe it's time to end that relationship and start over.

This time, she reached out her hand without hesitation, and let this man hold her, pulling her out of the mud.
