Looking forward to returning home

Gu Yanxiao was immersed in the memories of the past, An Lin didn't bother her, and snuggled in front of her, listening attentively.

"But now, I feel like everything has settled down."

Gu Yanxiao whispered in An Lin's ear.

"Holding you like this now, it's like a traveler has found a place to live."

In the past, Gu Yanxiao would not have talked to An Lin about this.

She has always been a person who keeps big and small things in her heart, and will not confide in others.

It probably doesn't make sense either.

As far as she is concerned, even if she said it, it was just adding trouble to others.

What's more, she always felt that An Lin was still young, at the age where she needed to be always behind her.

It's not that Gu Yanxiao feels that An Lin is not as good as herself, but that she watched An Lin grow up, and the instinct in her heart is overflowing with protective desire, once she bursts out, she will be a little bit overwhelmed.

Even though An Lin emphasized in front of her again and again that she could protect her, the subconscious reaction was really hard to change for a while.

They have not been together as lovers for half a year. It is too early to talk about marriage, but this is for others.

They knew each other well, and from the day they identified each other, they knew that they could completely entrust themselves to her.

It's just that An Lin also knows that Gu Yanxiao has scruples, so she hasn't been overly anxious about their relationship. At most, she just gives little surprises and gifts from time to time. This matter is just to test Gu Yanxiao's tone and attitude a little bit.

She felt Gu Yanxiao's hesitation, so she kept silent for a while, but unexpectedly, Gu Yanxiao took the initiative, which was indeed unexpected by An Lin.

"Did you know? Before I went to London, I said something." An Lin looked at her with a smile, her eyes were rosy unconsciously.

"what?"

"You are my harbor, and now I am leaving the harbor temporarily, and one day I will return to your embrace."

An Lin looked at her with bright eyes, and said every word seriously.

Gu Yanxiao looked back, and after a long time, he smiled lightly: "Really?"

"Tell me, do we have a tacit understanding?" An Lin seemed to inadvertently raise his hand to rub the end of his eyes, and the sides of his fingers were wet.

"Forget it." Gu Yanxiao nodded and said.

"I think so too." An Lin concealed her emotions, and the smile on her face rose again, showing her little tiger teeth in front of Gu Yanxiao, and said with a smile.

But since Gu Yanxiao said it, some things should be put on the agenda.

Although some of them broke the plan, at most it can only be regarded as putting those things forward for a while.

An Lin has always been an activist.

It wasn't long before Nie Yu'an took over as her assistant, and she still had to take some time to bring her up.

The first thing she valued was Nie Yu'an's ability and character.

In fact, after getting in touch with Nie Yu'an, she had already asked people to look up relevant information, and it turned out that she had good eyesight.

She just lacks a springboard and opportunity.

An Lin knew, so giving her these, and hoped that she would be better by his side.

It is impossible for Gu Yanxiao to belong to YA alone. The people in the old house count as one, and they will more or less take up the share.

An Lin doesn't worry about this, she just wants to help Gu Yanxiao reduce the burden, she never cares about the company's interests and power.

She's thinking about other things now.

Gu Yanxiao had something to do temporarily, so he greeted An Lin in advance and said goodbye when he went home tonight.

An Lin didn't ask which company he was working with, but seeing Gu Yanxiao's hurried appearance, the other party probably had a whim, so he said hello and hung up the phone.

With a calm expression on her face, she fiddled with the blacked-out mobile phone with her fingers, thinking that Gu Yanxiao would not be going home for a while, and she was done with her work, so she waved her hand to make Nie Yu'an get off work earlier.

Nie Yu'an is a fast learner, she can be called a master type, especially An Lin who is in charge of her.

On the way home from work, An Lin drove past a crossroad and stopped at a red light to look around. Seeing groups of students passing by in twos and threes on the zebra crossing in front of the car, she blinked her eyes and whispered to herself He said to himself: "It seems that I haven't been there for a long time, and I'm still idle when I'm idle."

While thinking about it, the green light turned on, An Lin stepped on the accelerator, and after passing here, turn right at the intersection in front and drive in the opposite direction to Xiangjiang Mansion.

Twenty minutes later, the car parked in the parking lot near Yangcheng University City, next to the commercial plaza in the neighboring area, which is where An Lin and Gu Yanxiao went shopping and eating desserts when they came back from studying abroad last time.

An Lin has been busy with work since returning to China this time, and she didn't think of coming here. Today is considered a sudden leisure. Looking at the students passing by in front of her, she suddenly thought of going for a stroll.

A while ago, Professor Smith had sent an email to remind her of several papers and experimental reports to be submitted this semester, and told her that the school had already started preparing for the selection of outstanding graduate students.

After seeing the reply, she efficiently spent a few nights organizing the materials she had kept into a paper and sent it to Professor Smith.

An Lin was still wearing her company work clothes, and her dark red coat had been on the co-pilot's seat since she got in the car.

The neckline of the white short-sleeved shirt is slightly open with two buttons, the attractive collarbone is faintly visible, the arms are slender exposed to the air, the slim trousers wrap the legs, and the high heels under her feet have been replaced by flat shoes in advance. It doesn't look so serious.

Although it was a working day and the summer vacation was over, there were still many people coming and going on the commercial street, and many people dressed as students walked by talking and laughing.

She parked the car in the parking space on the side of the road, raised her hand and pushed down the window halfway. The summer heat instantly flooded into the space she was in, causing An Lin to close her eyes and shrink back. Some.

People walked by from time to time, subconsciously glanced at An Lin's body, a little surprise appeared in their eyes, but they all restrained themselves.

An Lin didn't care, and was just about to open the car door when she saw a familiar figure in her eyes.

She blinked and realized that she hadn't misunderstood the person.

An Lin accelerated the pace of getting out of the car, walked to the side of the road in two or three steps, met the man's eyes, and called out: "Qihan."

Jiang Qihan seemed to be in a daze, she didn't react for several seconds after An Lin called her name, until An Lin stood in front of her, blocking her way forward.

"..."

Jiang Qihan stopped, stabilized her body, and said in a daze: "An... Lin? Why are you here?"

An Lin graduated ahead of schedule, but Jiang Qihan did not. Like all her classmates, she still followed the rules or the most ordinary college life.

However, she is already a senior at the beginning of school and has no worries about courses. Most of her classmates are looking for internships or preparing for postgraduate entrance examinations.

She still continues to work as a part-time tutor and takes income as part of her source of income, but she has not yet found a job that meets her expectations.

"It's nothing, I just happened to come over to take a look."

An Lin looked at Jiang Qihan calmly, and replied calmly.

Jiang Qihan hummed, but didn't know what to say next.

Ever since An Lin saw Jiang Qihan and Li Xiaozhu together last time, she felt that the atmosphere between the two of them was weird, but she couldn't ask directly.

When I met Li Xiaozhu occasionally, I didn't feel that she had any special reaction or something wrong.

However, Li Xiaozhu was originally a person in the circle, and his expression management poker face would be subconsciously controlled in many cases, especially when he was in a high position.

On the contrary, Jiang Qihan's reaction made her feel more and more weird.

The late summer season is really sweltering, and within a few minutes of getting out of the car, there were some fine beads of sweat on An Lin's forehead. She raised her hand to wipe it, pursed her lips and said, "Would you like to sit somewhere? Long time no see."

Jiang Qihan paused, nodded: "Okay."

She is familiar with this area than Anlin, after nodding in agreement, she thought for a few seconds, then raised her finger and pointed not far ahead: "Go there."

After speaking, Jiang Qihan raised her foot and walked forward.

An Lin followed her, and when she got closer, she realized that it was a coffee shop that had just opened.

The two found a booth and sat down. The air conditioner in the room was fully turned on, and they relieved the heat in one go.

An Lin actually didn't expect to meet Jiang Qihan when she came here. Now that the two of them sat down, they felt relatively speechless.

The two sat face to face for a while, the sky outside the window gradually darkened, and the night fell, pedestrians passed them by through the glass.

In the end, it was An Lin who spoke first.

After all, she suggested it first.

An Lin: "Are you graduating this year?"

"Well, I'm already preparing for my defense. What's next month will be followed by internships and the like."

Jiang Qihan replied truthfully.

"Aren't you going to continue?"

"...No, I have other plans." Jiang Qihan raised her eyebrows and her tone changed slightly.

An Lin licked her lips and asked tentatively, "What happened to you recently?"

She didn't dare to ask, but she was always worried. In high school, the two of them talked almost everything. Since graduation, the contact between the two of them has decreased a lot.

She was also afraid that Jiang Qihan was affected by her straightforward attitude, so she didn't take the initiative to contact her for a while, and kept talking in a small group of four people.

Later she found out that Jiang Qihan had indeed maintained the original attitude with her as she had promised herself at the beginning, which reassured her a lot.

It wasn't the first time she rejected someone, but it was the first time she rejected someone so close.

But she also knew that she had to refuse.

Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain.

There are people in her heart that she can't let go of, so she must not give her hope, and she must not break the ties. With her personality, things like feelings need to be cut quickly and cleanly.

An Lin felt that Jiang Qihan had already given up on this thought, and she believed that Jiang Qihan also knew that she cared about her from the perspective of a friend.

"..." Hearing what An Lin said, Jiang Qihan paused for a moment with her drooping head, and then slowly raised her head. Looking at An Lin, the corners of her mouth moved a few times, pulling out a not-so-easy smile , "Is it obvious?"

"When you met me before, you wouldn't be in this state." An Lin frowned slightly, "There was something wrong with you last time."

She was referring to the party of four.

"You are always so careful." Jiang Qihan sighed softly, "Did you want to ask me a long time ago?"

"That's it."

"Family. I can't say much."

An Lin pursed her lips: "I have more or less heard about your family's affairs from my grandfather...so, is it true?"

Jiang Qihan took a breath, then let it out again, and lowered her eyebrows again: "Yeah."

"Then... can I help you with anything?" An Lin asked with concern.

Jiang Qihan shook her head: "It's not easy to intervene casually. You also know that our family... most of them are in politics, so it's not so easy to deal with. I don't want to involve you either."

"That's what I said..." An Lin hesitated, but swallowed what she wanted to say next, "Okay, I get it."

"Don't worry too much. I didn't intend to take over from my parents. There are so many people in the Jiang family, and I'm not bad. I made this matter very clear to them from the beginning, otherwise I wouldn't be here today." Seeing An Lin's expression, Jiang Qihan began to comfort her, "I didn't want to say it at first, because I was afraid that you would think too much, but now, I feel a lot more relaxed."

Seeing that she did not have a particularly repulsive expression, An Lin also smiled softly: "Didn't you just say, come to me if you have something? Even if it's just to talk."

"Don't talk about me." Jiang Qihan raised her hand and changed the subject, "What about you? How are you doing recently?"

"Isn't it just like that? It's better than when I first started, and I've adapted a lot."

Jiang Qihan lowered her eyes, stared at a position, and asked softly: "Are you ready to get married?"

"Ah?" An Lin was taken aback, blinked, and then replied truthfully, "Yes."

Seeing Jiang Qihan's gaze, she also looked over, touched her ring finger, and then laughed: "At first I wanted to restrain myself, but after thinking about it, it doesn't matter, the things between me and her have never been You don’t need to look at other people’s faces.”
