i love you after all

Three years later.

At the beginning of October, autumn has just entered, and the weather is extremely bleak.The trees on both sides of the road were quite bald, and the few remaining leaves were completely withered and yellow, half hanging on the branches, like an old horse lying in a stable waiting to die.

Ran Chuqiu was wearing a gray overcoat, leaning against an old tree, his thin face hung low, buried in a dark red scarf.Her hair was kept very long, dyed back to pure black, and curled exactly like the light brocade, wrapped in such curly hair, her facial contours became more mature, revealing an air that only belongs to adult women charm.

She took out her mobile phone and looked at the time. On the ring finger of her left hand holding the mobile phone, she was wearing a big eye-catching diamond ring.

The time seems to have come.The prison gate on the opposite side opened slowly, and two prison guards poked their heads, then waved their hands, indicating that the people inside could leave.

Chu Qiu immediately put away the phone, stood up straight, and quickly walked towards the prison gate.

A thin woman came out from inside, her hair was messed up by the wind, under the cover of black hair was a haggard but still beautiful face.She was still wearing the old white shirt from three years ago. In the cold autumn wind, such thin clothes obviously couldn't keep out the cold, and the exposed forearm was covered with frozen purple blood.

Chu Qiu immediately took off his coat, stepped forward a few steps, and put it on the woman's shoulders.

She raised her head in a daze, saw Chu Qiu, and spent two or three seconds identifying the other person's appearance.They haven't seen each other for three years. During these three years, every facial feature of them has undergone slight changes.

"Chu Qiu?" When she pronounced the name, tears welled up in her eyes.

Chu Qiu resisted the soreness in his throat and said hoarsely, "It's me."

The woman turned her head away in embarrassment, her thin shoulders trembling slightly in the warm coat.

"Sister Yanran, you...you just came out, let's find a warm place and eat something..." Chu Qiu helped Jiang Yanran carry a bag in her hand, "You...you must have eaten nothing in the past three years Yes, what do you want to eat? I'll take you there."

"It's okay...it's okay..."

Looking at Jiang Yanran who was huddled in her coat, Chu Qiu suddenly recalled that Jiang Yanran who played the piano alone on the stage with thousands of people.She knew that that elegant and noble Jiang Yanran could only live in her memory from now on.

They found a coffee shop and ordered a lot of expensive food in early autumn.Jiang Yanran has been eating, although she still maintains the habit of taking small bites, but she eats very fast and hardly stops.

"Did they treat you very badly?" Chu Qiu looked at Jiang Yanran like this, feeling deeply distressed.

Jiang Yanran's chewing movement suddenly stopped, and the corners of her mouth twitched nervously: "There is nothing good or bad in prison, everyone is the same. You have to squeeze into a small room, you have to clean the toilet, and when you don't do your job well, , don't you have to suffer..." She pursed her lips, as if she didn't want to think about that time again, she looked at Chu Qiu opposite, and forced a smile, "You really grew up a lot, three years ago She looked like a child, but now she looks like a mature adult."

"People always grow up..."

Chu Qiu lowered his head, with an unnatural expression, his right hand habitually touched the ring on his left hand, stroking it back and forth.

Jiang Yanran was silent for a few seconds, then asked again: "How have you been these past few years?"

Chu Qiu lost his senses for a moment, and his right hand froze on the ring: "Just... just muddle along."

Jiang Yanran fell into a long silence again, she didn't even eat the food, she lowered her head and thought for a long time.

Finally, she cautiously asked the question she had never dared to face:

"Xiao Jin, is she... still alive?"

Chu Qiu's fingers trembled, and she slowly moved her gaze out of the window, all the emotions in her eyes disappeared, and then slowly, slowly, a little confusion appeared.
