i love you after all

Weng Danyang sent Danjin back to the villa, and received a call from Lao Yu on the way, and learned that Li Jiaxiao's party had already sent the contract to Yunzhou, and Yunzhou's side had already negotiated.Dan Jin silently sighed in his heart for Li Jiaxiao's speed of doing things, and sighed that he is indeed a person who can get the title of gold medal director.

Weng Danyang talked all the way, "It's going too well", "Xiaojin, you are going to be popular again", "I'm looking forward to joining the group", and seeing that she was about to arrive at the villa area, she smiled and asked: "Xiaojin , Luo Shen won this opportunity for you, right?"

Dan Jin withdrew her distracted thoughts, smiled, noncommittal.

"Oh, it's good to have a popular star as a boyfriend. These days, you have to rely on relationships for everything you do." Weng Danyang sighed, and after a while, his face became bitter again, "But... alas, It's going to be miserable for someone, seeing you and other men showing affection every day in front of your eyes, it may be very uncomfortable in your heart."

The smile on Dan Jin's mouth slowly froze, and he didn't answer.

Weng Danyang wanted to control his mouth, but he couldn't help it, and insisted on saying more: "You know? You two need to restrain yourself in front of Team Jiang."

"...Mmm." Dan Jinbo nodded calmly.

"Hey, aren't you surprised?" Weng Danyang's heart was ablaze with gossip, "Do you know Team Jiang likes you?"

"……I know."

"You know? You actually know?" Weng Danyang was so startled that his jaw was about to drop on his chest, "I'm freaking out, you really know? You're not bluffing me, are you?"

Dan Jin looked out of the car window again, the emotion in his eyes was light and faint, and it didn't seem to cause too much ripple, "I'm not blind, let alone a fool, how could I not know."

"Then why have you never heard of it?"

"What do you say, it will be embarrassing to say it." Dan Jin's lips curled up, and his tone was calm, "Besides, I don't like women in the first place. I thought that making one boyfriend after another is already treating her A kind of rejection."

When Weng Danyang heard it, he also felt that it made sense, and shook his head with a sigh: "Unfortunately, Captain Jiang may not understand this truth. If you have a chance later, you'd better explain it to her."

Dan Jin closed her eyes: "Let's talk."

Not long after they arrived at the villa, Weng Danyang delivered Danjin to the door and left.Danjin walked to the yard, and saw a huge snowman standing brightly by the garden, wearing Xiong Xueer's woolen hat and Jiang Yanran's woolen scarf, under the eyes of the two pebbles, there was a red mouth made of roses .

She bowed her head, smiled, and turned to open the door.

As soon as you enter the door, you can smell a strong food aroma in the room.Jiang Yanran, Xiong Xueer, and Ran Chuqiu were all sitting beside the long dining table and staring at themselves who just came back. Aunt Mei's figure loomed behind the sliding door of the kitchen.Xiong Xueer was so hungry that she knocked on the bowl: "Ancestor, you are back, hurry up, Aunt Mei, you can serve rib soup!"

Jiang Yanran looked behind her, and asked softly, "Where's Danyang, didn't you ask her to come in for a meal?"

"I didn't know you would wait for me to eat, so you didn't keep her." Dan Jin took off her coat and scarf, changed into her slippers, and walked towards the restaurant without haste.

Chu Qiu jumped off the high bench, ran to Danjin's legs, and followed her all the way, whispering softly while following her: "Danjin, Danjin."

Dan Jin lowered her eyes, touched Chu Qiu's fluffy hair, "During the half day I was away, have you been obedient?"

"Yes, yes, Sister Yanran changed my medicine once, and I wrote her a thank you on a piece of paper." Chu Qiu took the initiative to hold Dan Jin's hand hanging by her side, and said cautiously, "But I still miss it a little bit." You, I'm sorry."

"So it was in your heart that you thought I was a mistake." Danjin hugged Chuqiu and put her on the stool.

Chu Qiu hurriedly shook his head: "No!"

"So what did you say sorry for?"

Dan Jin sat down next to her, just when Aunt Mei brought the last soup, she and Aunt Mei had a few words of politeness, Aunt Mei still didn't serve the table, she was busy with other things.

Xiong Xue'er bit her chopsticks and said with a disdainful smile: "Look at her, she is so caring towards children. To us, she is 'Yang Feng Yin Yin', she is gentle on the surface, but cold in her bones."

Jiang Yanran continued, "It's like the gravel in rice, and the uncleaned spines in fish fillets."

Danjin smiled helplessly and poured himself a glass of water, "Captain Jiang is calling me vicious."

Jiang Yanran picked up the kettle, helped Danjin refill half a cup of freshly boiled water, and said with a smile, "I'm obviously praising you for being honest and honest."

Xiong Xueer felt baffled by what they said, and couldn't help asking: "What are you talking about?"

"If you read more, you'll know what we're talking about." Jiang Yanran shrugged.

"Tch, haven't you just read a few broken books, showing off every day, I don't know why you are showing off," Xiong Xueer snorted coldly, then turned to Ran Chuqiu and said, "Little Chuqiu, don't imitate them, read them all your life." Those useless rotten books, if they are useless, they will look down on people."

"Don't always say vulgar words in front of children." Jiang Yanran tapped Xiong Xueer's bowl with her chopsticks.

Xiong Xueer rolled her eyes, and simply stopped pestering her.She picked up a piece of fish with tender Desheng tofu and put it into Chuqiu's bowl, smiling, "Xiao Chuqiu, come, have a taste, this is my friend frozen it and mailed it from Qingdao. I didn't even bother to pick it up, thinking you might I love to eat, so I specially brought it back for Aunt Mei to cook."

Chu Qiu looked at Xiong Xueer with grateful eyes.

Dan Jin glanced at the little Chu Qiu, thinking of Li Jiaxiao's request, the words came to her lips, but she didn't know how to speak.She slowly twirled the rice in the bowl with her chopsticks, and after a while, said, "Chuqiu."

Chu Qiu hurriedly put down the balls she just picked up, and looked up at Dan Jin seriously.

"I..." Danjin put down the bowl, a little hesitant, "I have accepted a drama, and I may join the group in a few days."

Chu Qiu blinked and asked, "What is entering a group?"

"I just go to work, I can't go home, and I can't see you."

Chu Qiu was in a hurry: "When will you be back?"

"... about two or three months. If you can rest during the period, you can come back once or twice occasionally, but you can't stay for too long."

"Can you not go?" As soon as the voice fell, Chu Qiu immediately realized the inappropriateness of this sentence, but she was too impatient, and her articulateness became blurred again, "I'm sorry, I'm not... I don't want to, I don't want to be like this, but I ..."

"I understand what you mean, but I have to go. I have already signed the contract." Dan Jin paused, pretending to be careless, "Actually, you can go with me."

Xiong Xueer rarely became serious, "Don't be funny, you brought a child with you when you joined the group?"

"You can take it to play for a few days, and then send it back, so that she can have a transition in her heart." Dan Jin picked up a piece of fish and put it between her teeth, it was smooth and tender.

Jiang Yanran stopped her chopsticks, thought for a moment, and said, "That's fine, I just don't have any announcements for the next few days, and I'll send Xiaojin and Chu Qiu to the set later, and then send Chu Qiu back. Chu Qiu, what do you think?"

Chu Qiu cowardly lowered her head, not daring to look directly into Jiang Yanran's gaze, she turned to look at Dan Jin, and whispered, "I...I don't know if it's...it's dangerous outside, I dare not..."

"There are still a few days, you can think about it slowly." Dan Jin paused, put another piece of fungus in his mouth, and lowered his tone, "...It doesn't matter if you don't want to go."

Chu Qiu didn't speak.Obviously, the accident caused by running away alone the day before made her cast a bigger shadow on the outside world.

Xiong Xueer smiled and eased the atmosphere: "Okay, don't talk about work at the dinner table. Come, come, early autumn, eat fish, this fish is so good. I saved a small half, and I asked Aunt Mei to pick the bones , boiled in white water, you can take it up and give it to the Xiaotian dog in a while."

Chu Qiu's mood couldn't get any better, she kept her head down and said nothing with a bitter face.

After dinner, Xiong Xueer sat in the living room watching TV and playing with her mobile phone, Jiang Yanran went upstairs to practice the piano, and Dan Jin took Ran Chuqiu back to her room.

While walking in the corridor, Chu Qiu suddenly called to Dan Jin, struggling: "Can't we stay here forever?"

Dan Jin unscrewed the door of the bedroom, the scent of Ersu's old bureau in the room surrounded her nostrils, feeling deeply at ease, she led Chu Qiu in, and said as she walked: "No one can stay in one place for a lifetime and do nothing. You have to make money, you have to go to school, it’s always there.”

Chu Qiu shook her head: "I can. I can just stay here for the rest of my life and only see you alone." She frowned, and tears welled up in her eyes, "Are you... don't want to only see me for the rest of your life? "

Dan Jin thought for two seconds, how to veto this question so as not to hurt Chu Qiu?

In an instant, she replied: "Chuqiu, I still have mom and dad." Putting down the boiled fish in her hand, she turned her head slightly to look at the little girl, "I also have a younger sister to raise. That biological younger sister."

Chu Qiu's footsteps stopped, and his mind was like an electric shock.How could she have forgotten that she has no parents, nor other relatives, but she still has Dan Jin.What's more, those people have always shed the same blood as Danjin, and he and her are nothing more than "adoptive relationship" to put it bluntly.

She is still too young, and she can't figure out what's going on with many emotions.All she knows is that she sees Dan Jin as the whole world, so she naturally hopes that Dan Jin sees her as the whole world.When she found out that she was just an insignificant existence in the Danjin world, she felt desperate, hopeless and powerless as if she was falling down a bottomless well.

And there is no end.

After Dan Jin finished speaking, he realized that his words were a bit too much. To mention relatives in front of an orphan is like poking someone's spine.She put the boiled fish next to the cat's food bowl, hesitated for a while, walked to Chu Qiu, and said softly, "I'm sorry, I... didn't mean that."

When Chu Qiu heard that Danjin was apologizing, she hurriedly shook her head with teary eyes: "No, you don't need...it's me...I only have you. I...sorry, I shouldn't ask you like that, you, you and me It’s different, I can’t, I can’t go according to my own… my own…”

Dan Jin couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this is really a well-educated child, her parents must have put a lot of effort into her moral education.She couldn't help but think of herself when she was seven years old.

Seven-year-old self, indifferent, resentful, selfish, negative, the only difference from now is that she lacks a fake skin that has been polished by the hot and cold world.

Perhaps to some extent, Chu Qiu is still happier than himself.Some people are better off dead than alive.

Dan Jin withdrew her thoughts, touched Chu Qiu's ears, and said softly: "Okay, I won't talk about it today. Go to sleep first, lie on the bed for a while, and I will tell you about the little prince that I didn't finish last time."

Chu Qiu was silent for a while, then said: "Can I not listen to the little prince?"

"Then what do you want to hear?"

"G-Grimm's fairy tale..."

Dan Jin hummed, turned around to fold the clothes, and replied, "Okay. I'll go to the bookstore to buy a book next time."

Chu Qiu suddenly forgot the troubles just now, and asked with wide eyes, "Haven't you read it?"

The movement of Dan Jin's hand froze, then he smiled and answered casually: "No."

"Why?" Chu Qiu couldn't see Dan Jin's face with her back turned to her, and still couldn't help asking, "You have read so many books, much more than me, but why have you read even me? None of the Grimm's fairy tales..."

"Reading Grimm's fairy tales as an adult will inevitably be childish." Dan Jin's back seemed to become stiff.

"What about when you're not an adult?"

Dan Jin's eyes drooped, and he sighed quietly.

"I can't read it."

She didn't say anything more, she tidied up the bed neatly, and took Chu Qiu to wash up.Chu Qiu could feel the change in her mood, and she didn't dare to speak again. She really wanted to ask her about the stories she had when she was a child, but she couldn't ask.Chu Qiu knew in her heart that even if she asked, Dan Jin would not tell the truth to a child like her.

She suddenly remembered the soft leather book that had been hidden in her schoolbag all along.

Open it.

Open it, maybe you can know Danjin's past.

Knowing her past may be another way to participate in her life. Maybe after she understands her, Dan Jin can value herself as much as her family.

As soon as this idea came out, Chu Qiu immediately suppressed it. She felt that she was so sinful that she wanted to peep into other people's privacy.But the more this kind of taboo-colored thing, the more a curious child couldn't control it.With this thought in her mind, from the moment she took a shower to the moment she lay on the bed, she was sweating nervously.

She couldn't sleep, but Dan Jin fell asleep quickly.

She quietly counted Danjin's breathing intervals, from the first three-second exhalation to the last five-second exhalation, she knew she was fast asleep.

Chu Qiu secretly climbed down from the bed and took a flashlight along the way.She stared closely at Danjin's sleeping face, tiptoed, carrying a small schoolbag, and slipped into the toilet lightly.

The door was closed, the lock was locked, and the heart was about to jump out of the throat nervously.

Chu Qiu sat on the toilet seat, took out the soft leather book and held it in his hand, closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths.The two thoughts in her head fought for a while, and soon she began to choose to appease herself: just read a page.

click.

Turn on the flashlight, and the dim light shines on the old soft cover.

She roughly flipped through the inside page, and there were paragraphs and paragraphs of long or short pencil characters in them. The font was green and immature, and it was light and fuzzy after a long time of passing away. She looked like a child of the same age as her. written.But when she turned back to the title page, she saw that there was a passage written in a handsome pen that belonged to an adult, which seemed to have been added in the past two years——

"This is my world. There are thorns everywhere, and there are many traps. I don't know why I laugh when I laugh, and I don't know why I cry when I cry. For decades, I have planed and eaten in it, overturned mountains and rivers, and dug thousands of feet. Sometimes I am happy for it, but More often than not, I would rather I never have been here."
