Jiang Ke clearly said "hold it for a while and then let go", but relying on the fact that it was time for dinner, there was no one in the alley, and when he was approaching his home, Xu Shen moved his finger as if warning, and Jiang Ke let go.

After lunch, I will take the math test in the afternoon.

For the next few exams, Jiang Ke had been waiting for him outside. Xu Shen knew that he couldn't talk to him, so he let him go.

In midsummer, cicadas were singing and noisy, the trees were full of shade, day and night alternated in the sky, and this huge exam also came to an end.

Luo Yuan, who originally asked Xu Shen to go to the resort, because the project was a huge success and attracted the attention of investors, they decided to invest several million, and awarded Luo Yuan the most innovative award.

After the rewards are distributed, there will be an investment dinner. The date of the meeting, coincidentally, happens to be on the 9th, and it will take two days. Luo's father said that this is a good opportunity for Luo Yuan to open up contacts, and ordered him to prepare well. .

It happened to be in conflict with Xu Shen's date in terms of time. Luo Yuan thought that the last time Xu Shen's grandmother was ill, he couldn't be by Xu Shen's side. After all, Xu Shen is a very sensible person.

So Luo Yuan called Xu Shen, apologized repeatedly, and said that the appointment could be postponed.

When receiving Luo Yuan's call, Xu Shen was eating watermelon under the fan, he calmly said: "Then go and do your business."

I knew that Xu Shen would understand his difficulties, and knew that he should focus on his career at this moment. After all, Luo Yuan worked so hard to plan for their future——Luo Yuan thought so with peace of mind.

Before he knew it, he had regarded Xu Shen as his own. He was two years older than Xu Shen. He had watched Xu Shen grow up from a child, from a child carved in powder to a jade-like child. The young man looked at him like a pearl in the deep sea, slowly revealing his brilliance.

He knew that Xu Shen had a certain fondness for him, and since the two families were family friends, Luo Yuan felt that Xu Shen would definitely be his. If one day, if he asked the Xu family to marry Xu Shen, the Xu family would agree of.

"I've been really busy recently," Luo Yuanchang sighed, and coaxed in a soft voice, "I'll definitely make it up to you when I'm done with this busy work."

Unexpectedly, Xu Shen flatly rejected him: "No need."

He pushed the watermelon aside and let go of the spoon: "I promised to go out with you this time to make it clear to you, and it's the same on the phone now. Luo Yuan, we are not suitable, let's be friends in the future .”

Hearing this sentence unexpectedly, the corners of Luo Yuan's mouth froze: "...Why? Xiao Shen, we were so good before, is it because I didn't keep the promise?"

The fan whizzed overhead, sending cool wind.

"No." Xu Shen finally said, "It's because I understand that my feelings for you are not love, I'm just used to your company, but I've never felt heart-wrenching towards you."

Luo Yuan still did not give up: "I can work harder."

After being silent for a while, Xu Shen refused bluntly: "There is no need for this."

After saying this, he hung up the phone.

After speaking, Xu Shen felt more relaxed, as if a big stone had been lifted from his heart.

There were footsteps behind her, and the aunt walked to the sofa and whispered: "Xiao Shen, the old lady told you to go over, she wants to talk to you for a while."

Xu Shen raised his eyes: "Grandma is awake?"

The old lady is not in good spirits, and she has also seen a doctor. The doctor can't find any problems, and only tells the old man to rest more, don't get distracted, and don't have too much emotional ups and downs.

The old lady's room is on the first floor near the backyard. It is close and convenient for rest. The environment is good. The flowers in the backyard were planted by the old lady when she was in good health.

When he came to the door, Xu Shen found that Jiang Ke was also standing outside the door.

It seemed that the old lady had something to say to the two of them.

An old and weak voice came from the room: "Is Xiao Ke there?"

Jiang Ke responded and glanced at Xu Shen. Xu Shen turned his head to avoid his gaze: "What are you looking at me for? Go in if grandma tells you."

Jiang Ke pushed open the door and walked in.

There was a faint fragrance of sandalwood in the room, the curtains were half opened, and the sky poured in. The old lady was sitting on the simple and retro wooden bed, and she was in good spirits.

Her skin is wrinkled, like brown hand rubbed paper, but her eyes are clear, not cloudy like ordinary old people.

Seeing Jiang Ke, she stretched out her hand tremblingly, with a kind smile on her face: "Xiao Ke, come over to grandma."

Jiang Ke walked up to the old lady, knelt down, grabbed her hand, and said in a low voice, "Grandma."

"Our little Ke has grown up." The old lady reached out and stroked Jiang Ke's hair, "You are a good boy. People say that I saved you by adopting you and took good care of you, but only I know , You have always been taking care of me."

She is just an old man in her dying years, and she is prone to get sick when she gets old. When her daughter and grandson are not around, Jiang Ke will accompany her, stay in bed when she is hospitalized, take care of her medicine and serve her meals after she is discharged from the hospital.Once she was greedy and wanted to eat seafood, Xiao Jiang Ke secretly remembered it in her heart, and went to the seafood market at three o'clock in the morning to buy the freshest fish. When she came back, she was blown into an ice cube by the cold wind.

Just because of a fish, just because she wants to eat it.

She thought at the time, this child is so stupid.

The old lady knew that Jiang Ke was repaying her kindness, because she had never been loved since she was a child, and suffered the cruelest malice. He was much more mature than his peers. In the past five years, he had never asked her for anything.

He used whatever she gave him, and never said anything else. His grades in school were never a concern, and every time he went to a parent-teacher meeting, the teacher would praise him.

He is trying his best to be a good boy in the eyes of the public and not to cause her any trouble.

But Jiang Ke is also a child, what did he miss? At such a young age, he shouldn't live so cautiously.

The old lady's eyes were moist: "Xiao Ke, you have worked hard for so many years."

Jiang Ke looked up at her: "You are my grandma, so I don't find it hard."

This is the truth.

Feeling hot in her heart, the old lady smiled and sighed, and reached for the small lockable box on the bedside table. Jiang Ke brought the box over for her: "What do you want?"

The old lady slowly opened the box. In the box, there was a pair of jade finger rings she treasured. The whole body was green, as if there was a stream of light moving between them, and the texture was moist and smooth.

She raised her eyes and looked at Jiang Ke, like an old man who has experienced thousands of years of wisdom: "Xiao Ke, I can treat you as a child like Xiao Shen. It is you who choose to have another identity."

Her words clearly saw through the relationship between the two.

Jiang Ke's heart sank: "You...you know everything?"

The old lady's voice was soft and slow: "When Xiaoshen went abroad to study, I taught you to practice calligraphy. Do you remember that one afternoon, we practiced the Book of Songs?"

There is a poem in the Book of Songs called Zijin.

Qingqing Zijin, caress my heart, even if I don't go, Zining won't listen?

Picking and reaching, in the city gate, not seeing each other for a day, like March.

Xiao Jiang Ke, who wrote this sentence, was in a daze for a long time.

The old lady looked at him from the side, tapped the table lightly, and signaled him to continue writing.

The old lady understands words, and she can also see the soul of the words. In that picture, there are all inexplicable longings and lost souls.

Thinking of that long-ago afternoon, Jiang Ke was stunned: "Did you know it so long ago?"

"At that time, I just thought of you as a child, and didn't think too much about it." The old lady looked at him quietly, "Until Xiao Shen came back this year, you were in a completely different state. Besides, I'm not blind, and you were all brought up by me." Yes, why can't I see how careful you are when you get along?"

The old lady knew about it a long time ago, and she waited until now because she was concerned about Xu Shen's college entrance examination.

Thoughts changed several times, Jiang Ke's eyes were emotionally settled, very firm: "Grandma, I like Xu Shen."

If an ordinary child encountered such a situation, they might be so frightened that their legs limp, or their faces would be so pale that they could not speak a word.

Jiang Ke was actually able to take his time and confess without hesitation.

The old lady flashed her approval: "Xiao Shen is my most precious grandson, aren't you afraid that I will beat you?"

"I'm afraid, but that's what I should hit, I'll just accept it." Jiang Ke said, "Besides, if grandma really wants to hit me, she won't wait until now."

After being stunned for a while, the old lady laughed.

Jiang Ke is a smart man, and he is also very transparent, seeing everything clearly.

"Xiao Ke, you like Xiao Shen, then I will ask you as his other half." The old lady said unhurriedly, "Do you know what Xiao Shen's major is studying abroad? "

He knew a thing or two about Xu Shen's professional direction, and Jiang Ke replied solemnly: "He studied film art."

"Film art is extremely expensive. People and funds are indispensable. He spends about 100 million a year studying abroad." The old lady looked at him without any accusations, only peacefully, "You and him Together, what can you give him?"

She just asked a simple question, but she was merciless, sharp and direct.

Jiang Ke is only 17 years old, he has nothing, nothing, even food and clothing, all are provided for him by the old lady.

The young man's face turned pale suddenly, and he opened his lips: "I promise I won't let Xiao Shen suffer any hardship..."

"Don't endure hardships, it doesn't mean that you can afford him and let him maintain the current standard of living, right?" The old lady sighed softly, "Xiao Shen stood taller than most people since he was born, he is excellent, Proud, from childhood to adulthood, we have given him the best. If you want to be worthy of him, you have to study hard to expand yourself and set ambitious goals for the future, but how long will it take?"

The gap between the two is clearly pointed out, Xu Shen lives in the sky, and Jiang Ke lives on the ground.

The self-esteem of the young man was severely crushed and crushed.

But what the old lady said, he couldn't refute a word.

Jiang Ke fell silent, clenched his hand hanging by his side into a fist.

"You are still very young, the future is bright," the old lady calmly seemed to be expounding the facts, "but this age is also the time when you can't choose, Xiao Ke, you are still too young, your wings have not yet spread Come on, you don't have the ability to stand beside Xiao Shen, no matter how hard you struggle, you have to admit this."

Dim light and shadows scattered around the young man, and the outline of his face was dark.

"You are all children I brought up with my own hands. Let me give you two choices." The old lady turned the box on her knees and faced Jiang Ke, with a gentle and generous voice, "First, you can choose the one I said today. I never said that if you want to chase Xiaoshen, go after Xiaoshen, there is a high possibility that you will be together, and grandma also blesses you.

But Xiao Shen is arrogant and arrogant, he will not compromise and give up his career for the sake of love, you will definitely encounter many practical problems, and then have no choice but to separate, you can have him for a short time, he will become the white moonlight in your heart, but And that's all. "

The boy raised his eyes and looked at her right.

The dull pain spread and lasted for a long time, almost pressing him into the dust.

The old lady's voice paused for a few seconds, and then continued: "Second, let go while you have no emotional foundation. Bao Jianfeng was sharpened from scratch, and you spend a few years growing up. When you are able to give him happiness, you will eventually Meet, and at that time, no matter what wind and rain will break you, you will have a chance to obtain eternal love."

Sandalwood smells in the room, birds fly across the sky outside the window, and the last ray of light in the sky is swallowed by the night.

Xu Shen outside the door kept pacing, looked at his watch, and felt extremely bored, he looked at the sky outside, and wondered if it was going to rain.

A needle can be heard in the room separated by a door.

"Jiang Ke, which one do you choose?"
