Xue Lida sat alone on the sofa, waiting for the light in the room to dissipate bit by bit.It wasn't until the doorbell rang that time seemed to continue to flow.

After the door opened, Xue Lida pulled Liang Yutong in, closed the door with the other hand, but did not enter the room, but stood in front of Liang Yutong, staring at her.

"Have you been waiting for a long time? The road is a bit congested today." Liang Yutong smiled and looked up at Xue Lida.

"I just came back." Xue Lida said lightly.

Liang Yutong raised the bag in his hand, with a sweet smile on his face: "I bought the mangosteen you like to eat."

Xue Lida glanced at the bag of mangosteens, then turned her eyes back to Liang Yutong's face.

The two looked at each other for a moment, Xue Lida suddenly stepped forward and pressed Liang Yutong against the door, and kissed passionately.Liang Yutong couldn't move, holding the bag in one hand, and slowly stroked Xue Lida's back with the other.Before she could finish her thoughts, Xue Lida's lips were withdrawn abruptly, and the bag in her hand was also taken over.

Xue Lida turned back to the living room, put the bag containing mangosteen on the coffee table, and then sat back on the sofa.Leaning against the door, Liang Yutong calmed down, walked over slowly, and sat down beside her.

Since that day, in the only two meetings between the two, apart from hugging and kissing, there was almost nothing left but sitting in silence.Xue Lida spoke less than ten words in total, and Liang Yutong just stayed by quietly most of the time. She knew that there were too many scars between the two of them, and no one dared to easily uncover them.

After sitting for a long time, Liang Yutong stretched out his hand and gently held Xue Lida's left hand, rubbing his thumb on the back of her hand.

"Are you tired from work today?" Liang Yutong asked softly.

"That's it." Xue Lida forced a smile.

Liang Yutong couldn't bear to observe the gloomy expression on Xue Lida's expression, lowered his eyes and sighed secretly, then turned his head and smiled after a while and said, "What do you want to eat? I'll make it for you."

Xue Lida was silent for a moment, and said: "Let's go out to eat."

"En." Liang Yutong nodded, took Xue Lida's hand and pulled her up from the sofa.

Before they reached the door, Liang Yutong's cell phone rang.After listening to the phone with a slight frown, she said lightly, "Got it."

Liang Yutong turned to look at Xue Lida, his eyes were full of disappointment. "Dad is going to meet an old friend tonight, let me go with Sun Hang."

Xue Lida's expression remained unchanged, and she said calmly: "You go."

"I'll go down with you to have something to eat first." Liang Yutong took Xue Lida's hand again and said to her with a smile.

"No, I ordered takeaway."

Liang Yutong stood for a long time, still reluctant to move away.She raised her hand and gently stroked Xue Lida's cheek, and said softly, "Eat well. Go to bed early at night and don't think too much. Do you know?"

Sherida nodded.

Liang Yutong stared into her eyes for a moment, gave her a gentle kiss, and then turned to leave.

When the results of the assessment came out, many people were surprised and astonished.Su Jie finally passed the review of the assessment and review committee. So far, the battle for the position of marketing director has finally come to an end.This result surprised colleagues who were optimistic about Xue Lida before.

What's more, no one can understand that whether it's Su Jie, who came out halfway but unexpectedly won, or Xue Lida, who worked hard but finally lost, both of them seemed to be not in high spirits, and they were silent all day long. Ben left in a hurry.But there is no doubt that the two have not had any private interactions other than work for a period of time, and they are no longer talking and laughing like before. Everyone can see that the two of them have completely broken up.

On this day, Mr. Gao issued the notice of appointment of marketing director.However, Su Jie rejected the dinner prepared by her colleagues to celebrate her promotion. After get off work, she only asked Ye Han to go home for dinner.Wang Jiaming happened to be away on a business trip, so Su Jie and Ye Han cooked some ordinary home-cooked dishes together, and took out a dozen beers from the wine cabinet.

Ye Han originally thought that Su Jie was just tired of the lively scene suddenly, so he filled her wine with a smile.

"Helen, congratulations."

Su Jie smiled wryly, sighed, picked up the wine glass and touched Ye Han lightly, and then drank the whole glass in one go.

"Why are you unhappy after being promoted?"

"I'm not interested in this position at all." Su Jie murmured while shaking her head.

Ye Han understands that Su Jie has always felt sorry for Wu Ruoyang. Indeed, only Wu Ruoyang is the most suitable candidate for the position of marketing director.

After a few glasses of wine, Su Jie slowly opened up again.

"Do you know that the emergency meeting of the investigation team was caused by Xue Lida, the photo of Esther and Tong Tong was handed over to the investigation team by Xue Lida," Su Jie said, her eyes slowly filled with anger , "She stole that photo from me!"

Su Jie grabbed the wine bottle and filled it up for herself. "It's a pity that I have always regarded her as a friend! She actually used me! If I hadn't talked about the photos with Tongtong, I would have been kept in the dark. How could I be so stupid?"

Ye Han sighed softly and advised, "It's not your fault..."

After another glass of wine, Su Jie slammed the glass on the table: "This time Esther failed to participate in the assessment, it must be Xue Lida's fault!"

Ye Han frowned slightly, vaguely feeling that things were not that simple.

"Let's not talk about that, let's have a drink tonight!" Su Jie refilled the glasses of both of them.

"En." Ye Han raised his wine glass and touched it with Su Jie, then raised it to his mouth, pondered for a while, then closed his eyes and drank most of the glass in one go.At this moment, she also has too many complicated emotions in her heart and can't find an outlet to vent them.Drinking this wine with Su Jie really made her feel a kind of joy that she had never experienced before.Although I have experienced a lot of wine tables and dinners, it is completely different from the feeling at this time.

The two moved the wine to the terrace and continued to drink. Su Jie also dug out two bottles of 12-year-old French red wine.

"Actually, this time, you should be the saddest, right?" Su Jie looked at Ye Han, "I didn't get to see you when I wanted to see you the most."

Ye Han didn't answer, and raised his head to look at the starry sky, his eyes became a little hazy.

Su Jie smiled and said, "Let me tell you a story."

"Yeah." Ye Han nodded.

"A long, long time ago, there was a beautiful girl who met her beloved at the Longmen of the Western Mountains, knew each other, and fell in love with each other, but they were separated at the Longmen, forever apart. The girl cried and dried up her tears, which turned into today's Dianchi Lake. Her heart was broken into Hui, jumped off the dragon gate, and died at the foot of the West Mountain. When the girl threw herself, she cast a terrible and sad curse: passing through this cliff, the love will be broken!"

Su Jie looked at Xishan in the night, and continued: "Maybe God heard the girl's heartache and despair, and made this terrible curse stay in Xishan forever. It is said that couples can't climb Xishan together, otherwise they will die after climbing. Break up. Some people also say that if you go to Xishan with the person you like, you will become a couple. Although it is just a legend, there are many rumors in the market that are effective, and few people dare to try the law."

Ye Han never expected that there would be such a legend in Xishan, and now he finally understood why Wu Ruoyang was so entangled in climbing Xishan.It was still during the May [-]st holiday. At that time, she never thought of it, and she didn't dare to hope that this person would fall in love with her one day.But now, although the two haven't formally expressed their hearts to each other, there are some things that can be felt without saying it.

She smiled and filled herself with wine, thinking silently in her heart: "Come back soon, I miss you..."

In the middle of the night, the Wujiaba Airport is still brightly lit and full of people.Wu Ruoyang hurried to the exit of the terminal building, took out his mobile phone and looked at Ye Han's name, feeling very worried.After getting off the plane, she even called Ye Han several times, but no one answered.

She got in a taxi and immediately dialed Su Jie's number.

"Helen, are you home?"

"Ah? Yes!" Su Jie's voice sounded excited and erratic, as if she was quite drunk.

"Is Annie with you?" Wu Ruoyang asked hastily.

"Annie? Huh? She seems to be here..."

"I'll come find you later."

"Come drink! Haha—"

Wu Ruoyang came to the door of Su Jie's house and searched for a long time before finding out the key.Su Jie had lost her keys more than once, and each time she had to find a locksmith to open the door.Since then, both she and Wu Ruoyang habitually kept a key to each other's house, even after marrying Wang Jiaming, this habit still remained.

As soon as the door opened, a strong smell of alcohol came out.While looking around the whole living room, Wu Ruoyang carefully crossed the mess all over the floor and came to the sofa.She frowned, and poked Su Jie, who was lying on the sofa sound asleep, with her hand, but there was no response at all.

Wu Ruoyang couldn't help shaking his head, then turned around and looked around. There were no lights in any room, only a glimmer of light from the garden terrace outside.She crossed the living room and out onto the terrace.Under the dim light of the wall lamp, a familiar figure was lying on the hanging chair on the terrace with his legs curled up.

"Annie!" Wu Ruoyang quickly walked to Ye Han and squatted down, reaching out to gently support her shoulder.

Ye Han snorted vaguely, but still did not open his eyes.

Wu Ruoyang carefully helped Ye Han up, then sat down beside her, letting her lean in his arms.

"I'm back, I'm back..." Wu Ruoyang hugged Ye Han tightly, feeling a little sad in her heart, recalling the girl who was as innocent as a flower back then, but now she also began to drink away her worries.I just hate that I can't be by her side all the time and share her worries.

"Let's go back to the house, it's cool outside." After speaking, Wu Ruoyang was about to hug Ye Han, but Ye Han slowly raised his head, his eyes opened slightly, and he looked at her affectionately.

Wu Ruoyang raised his hand and caressed Ye Han's cheek, feeling so distressed that he didn't know what to say.At this time, Ye Han suddenly leaned forward and put his arms around Wu Ruoyang's neck, and buried his head in the hollow of her shoulder.

After a while, Wu Ruoyang only heard Ye Han utter an indistinct sentence: "I miss you..."
