rumor

Jiang Ruo held back these tears for too long, and finally let them out, and couldn't hold them back for a while.

When Aunt Fang arrived, she saw Jiang Ruohong with red eyes and a forced smile, and immediately turned to Xi Yufeng: "Why did you make Xiao Jiang angry again?"

Quite blaming.

Jiang Ruo hurriedly waved his hands to explain: "The movie is so touching, I cried watching it."

Aunt Fang glanced at the TV screen suspiciously: "Foreign movies?"

"Yes, yes, watch the subtitles..."

Xi Yufeng chuckled, and Jiang Ruo glared at him, with an attitude of "Be careful I'll silence you".

Fortunately, Aunt Fang didn't ask any more questions and went into the kitchen to prepare dinner.

When they were free to eat, Xi Yufeng took Jiang Ruo to the courtyard outside.

The rain has stopped, and the water vapor is mixed with the fragrance of soil and grass, full of the taste of nature.

There are stone tables and benches in the yard, wipe them clean and sit on them. Xi Yufeng lit a cigarette and smoked slowly. When he noticed the sight on his body, he turned his head and asked Jiang Ruo with his eyes—what's wrong?

"Nothing." Jiang Ruo said, "I was just wondering, when you were sixteen or seventeen, would you sit here in a daze, or read a book?"

Xi Yufeng said: "Yes, but very little."

When he was very young, he would sit here and wait for Qiao Jiayue to come back, but he couldn't wait, so he got used to being alone, and spent most of his time in his room, not taking a step unless necessary.

Jiang Ruo rolled her eyes: "Then...will you sit here and read the love letter someone else wrote to you?"

With eyebrows raised slightly, Xi Yufeng asked, "How do you know?"

"Please, don't you ever look in the mirror?" Jiang Ruo was caught by him in Versailles, "This face can be beaten more than ten years ago."

Xi Yufeng told him truthfully that he didn't care about these things at that time, and he did receive letters similar to love letters, but they didn't open them.

Jiang Ruo shook her head straight after hearing this: "Maybe I will miss a beautiful campus love just because of this."

Xi Yufeng didn't speak, but looked at him meaningfully while smoking a cigarette.

Jiang Ruo was horrified by him: "I'm not jealous, as I said earlier."

"I didn't say you were jealous."

"Then what do you see me doing?"

"I was wondering if you would write me a love letter."

"Please, I was ten when you were sixteen!"

"Ten years old, you should be able to write."

"...Is this the point?"

Jiang Ruo was interested in Xi Yufeng's childhood, and Aunt Fang happened to be willing to talk about it, and the dinner table became a chatting session for the two of them.

Aunt Fang said that Xi Yufeng was once mischievous. He almost broke his leg climbing a tree when he was four years old. The roof is scratched off.

He also said that he was smart since he was a child, and he was able to take the first grade in class and sleep, and he learned everything very quickly. The child of the director's family who lived on the mountainside, learned the violin for three years and was still sawing, and Xi Yufeng started playing the violin for half a year. You can pull out beautiful music.

Hearing this, Jiang Ruo looked at Xi Yufeng with bright eyes: "Can you still play the violin?"

Xi and Feng's bosses were all cleaned up, they couldn't sit still for a long time, they got up and fled under the pretext of being full.

After eating, Jiang Ruo stayed with Aunt Fang to clean up the dishes and continued the topic just now.

Aunt Fang said: "Actually, Xiaofeng doesn't like this house, so he snatched it over because Madam left it. It's just a wish."

Jiang Ruo nodded: "Well, I understand."

"So, I've got to stay here and hold the house for him."

"Didn't you move to the city center?"

"I just moved there temporarily to take care of you two. I'm an old woman, why bother to disturb the lives of you young people."

"How can this be called an interruption? He needs you."

Aunt Fang put down a clean bowl and looked at Jiang Ruo with a smile: "What he needs is you."

Jiang Ruo was stunned.

"Remember when I said before that he is very similar to his mother?" Aunt Fang said, "Madam is also like this. She looks cold, as if she doesn't care about anything, but she is actually a kind of lover, with a soft heart."

"I don't know what happened between the two of you earlier. I only saw Xiaofeng for a while, and I really lost my mind. Now that you are back, Xiaojiang, you must have forgiven him. If that is the case, you two should be fine. "

"One day goes by and one day goes away. Listen to me, someone who has experienced it, don't always think that the future will last forever, cherish the present, and you will definitely not go wrong."

Because there was still a schedule, Jiang Ruo returned to his residence that night.

Early the next morning, on the way to the studio, Jiang Ruo received some photos from Zheng Yiting. The background was a hospital, and the protagonists were him and Xi Yufeng.

Jiang Ruomeng was so excited that he immediately called and shouted guiltyly, "Sister Zheng..."

Zheng Yiting cut to the chase: "Everything that should be withdrawn has been withdrawn, but because of being caught off guard, the speed has been slowed down, and many netizens still got a lot of money."

Jiang Ruo knelt on the spot: "I was wrong."

Zheng Yiting went on to say: "However, this kind of photo is not real. The two of them are holding an umbrella. It can be interpreted as meeting in the hospital and exchanging a few pleasantries. Later, let Xiao Shen post a Weibo post for you, posting the photos of the food you are eating recently. tonic."

Jiang Ruo stood up again: "Sister, can you speak without panting?"

"I don't want to scare you. Next time, you will play the trick of cutting first and playing later."

"It can't be called cutting first and playing later, isn't this just now..."

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, and Zheng Yiting asked, "Are you serious this time?"

Jiang Ruo said "hmm".

Zheng Yiting smiled: "That's a good thing. In the future, I will handle Mr. Xi's investment here. If I lose money, I won't be guilty."

"Then I still have to ask my sister to palm the eyes for him." Jiang Ruo also laughed, "If it's really a loss, he won't hurt me."

Although it was a false alarm, Zheng Yiting still told Jiang Ruo to act cautiously in public in the future. After all, there were rumors that he was entrusted with money to join the group, and the impact of such things was always bad.

Jiang Ruo agreed.

After hanging up the phone, he turned around and picked out the one that only showed the back of the two of them among the pile of photos, and set it as the cover of the Moments album.

Zhou Xinyao was the first to discover it.

She sent a long series of exclamation points and asked: Are you reconciled?

Jiang Ruo replied: Yes, thanks to the fact that the door of Sister Zhou's bachelor party was not closed tightly

Zhou Xinyao pretended to be stupid: What are you talking about, I don’t understand at all

Jiang Ruo used his trump card: I almost forgot to tell Xi Yufeng that you want to introduce me to a male model with eight-pack abs

Zhou Xinyao sharpened her sword furiously: I am worried about the happiness of you two, and you actually want to harm me!

In fact, Jiang Ruo knew the reason why Zhou Xinyao did this.It's nothing more than the favor of Xi and Feng, if you can help, you can help, and you have the right to repay.

Later on the phone, she sighed: "Before, seeing you were so determined that you refused to even meet him, I thought you two were lost."

Jiang Ruo said frankly: "I'm actually not firm at all."

Zhou Xinyao wondered: "From the perspective of your personality and background, the two of you may not be very suitable, but it will give people a feeling that you must be with each other."

So her matching is not all for gratitude, but also for the compassion of not wanting to see lovers part ways.

At the end of the traditional performing arts session, Zhou Xinyao exaggeratedly praised Jiang Ruo: "My younger brother Jiang is a Bodhisattva descended to earth, and here comes a stinky man who doesn't know how to love."

Jiang Ruo was amused by her, and said, "He's very good. Rather than giving him a chance, it's better to say that I'm giving myself a chance."

A chance to let the wind stay for me.

This year's Spring Festival was at the beginning of February, before the festival, Jiang Ruo invited Wei Chulin to have a meal.

The main reason is to thank her for introducing the work of the troupe. Jiang Ruo gained a lot from those few performances. He spent all day practicing with the dancers, and felt that his dancing skills have improved a lot.

When making an appointment, Jiang Ruo expected that Chen Muxin might come with him, and on the day of dinner, as expected, both siblings came.During the dinner, Chen Muxin secretly sent a message to Jiang Ruo, saying that he followed Wei Chulin because he was afraid that Wei Chulin would be outspoken and make the atmosphere tense.

Obviously worrying too much.Wei Chulin is now very close to Zhou Xinyao, presumably Zhou Xinyao has popularized science with her, and she didn't react very much to Jiang Ruo's reunion with his former benefactor.

It's just that I'm used to talking poisonously, so I always have to knock a few words.

Wei Chulin had a look of resentment: "Look at you, you have good looks and strength, and you can understand the lack of resources when you first entered the entertainment industry. Now that you have a lot of film appointments, why do you need help from others?"

Jiang Ruo said: "Sister, what you said, I can participate in a stage play, is it because of your help?"

Then he told Wei Chulin that he and Xi Yufeng are not in a foster relationship, but a normal relationship.

Wei Chulin still couldn't listen to it: "He doesn't care about you in a normal relationship? You acted so well in "The Actor's Flower Road", and in the end you were snatched away by a resource guy. Why didn't he pay you for it?"

"It's me who keeps him from meddling in my business..."

"Since you don't need him anymore, why don't you choose a good one if you want to date? Is it because my brother is not handsome or young enough? Do you insist on finding an old man who has gone through many hands?"

Wanting to save some face for Xi Yufeng, Jiang Ruo didn't say that Xi Yufeng was first-hand, nor did he mention that he just turned [-] this year.Instead, following Wei Chulin's words, he repeatedly said: "That's right, it's because I have bad eyesight, and our brother's luck is yet to come!"

After a meal, the most embarrassing person was actually Chen Muxin.

He probably didn't expect that before his 23rd birthday, he would become a slow-selling product in the eyes of his sister.

Afterwards, Chen Muxin sent a message to Jiang Ruo, saying: Don't listen to my sister, I will not be reduced to the point where no one wants me.

Jiang Ruo replied with an "I understand" emoji, and then thanked him sincerely.

At this point, Jiang Ruo couldn't say "you will find a better one", but just thanked Chen Muxin for putting a sincere affection in front of him, respecting him, and letting him make his own choice.

After all, if a person has never been respected in a relationship, he may not know what true equality is.

At the end of January, it snowed again in Fengcheng.

It was even bigger than the previous one, causing some roads to be blocked, which directly disrupted some of Jiang Ruo's plans.

On a sunny day after the snow, Jiang Ruo called Xi Yufeng and asked him what his plans were for the evening.

Xi Yufeng threw back the question: "I will arrange according to your arrangement."

Jiang Ruo was very useful, relying on the fact that the other person couldn't see him, he smiled so hard that he couldn't see his teeth, and lied: "I have a dinner appointment with someone tonight, so you don't have to wait for me."

Xi Yufeng asked who the date was, but Jiang Ruo didn't make it up, so he didn't answer for a while, but Xi Yufeng pondered for a moment and asked if it was Chen Muxin.

Now Jiang Ruo couldn't stop laughing: "Hey, did you smell it?"

"what?"

"It smells like vinegar."

"..."

Jiang Ruo told him that he had made it clear with Chen Muxin, and now they are friends.

Xi Yufeng began to chew on the word "friend" again, Jiang Ruo hurriedly stopped: "Okay, enough is enough, let me tell you that I don't have time tonight, you don't need to go home early."

Xi Yufeng is not stupid. Hearing Jiang Ruo's haggling on the phone, he knew something was tricky.

What's more, there is also a door opening prompt pushed directly to the mobile phone.

There is an evening regular meeting today, and it ends at 07:30.Instead of attending the company's high-level dinner, Xi Yufeng took the elevator directly down to the parking lot, and took a car to the city center.

Standing at the door of the house, he waited for a while before reaching out to press his fingerprints, giving time to the people inside and giving himself a buffer.

Even so, when he opened the door, he was still dazed by the sight in front of him.

In fact, it has not changed in general, but there are more things than before.

Originally empty, there was a "Best Supporting Actor" trophy on the TV cabinet, an orange cat pillow appeared on the sofa in addition to the casually discarded coat, and a brand-new coffee machine was placed on the dining table.

The most obvious change is on the balcony. A dozen pots of plants are placed side by side in a row, high and low, luxuriant and shady; closer to the windows.

They are all newly added objects, and the styles are also very different, but there is an inexplicable harmony, as if they should be here in the first place.

Before he had time to take a closer look, Jiang Ruo ran out of the bed when he heard a flurry of footsteps, his eyes widened in shock: "Why are you back!"

Xi Yufeng saw that he was dressed at home, wearing a pair of blue cotton slippers, and his eyes were soft unconsciously.

"I was released as a pigeon." He simply lied, "Is there any food at home?"

Naturally there is.

Aunt Fang just came here yesterday and left a few dishes behind.Jiang Ruo opened the refrigerator to pick it up, and blocked it with his body as if he was afraid that others would see something. His posture was extremely awkward, but let Xi Yufeng see a gift box placed on the lower floor of the refrigerator.

Tomorrow is his birthday, and it seems that the birthday cake has been arranged in advance.

Jiang Ruo was a little upset when his plan was disrupted.

After dinner, he continued to tidy up the things he had brought, while muttering to himself, he said for a while, "Why did I come back so early, I haven't packed it yet", and said for a while, "There is no surprise for what I came back so early for."

In short, I blame Xi Yufeng for being bad, why come back so early when I have nothing to do?

Xi Yufeng thought he was in the wrong, rolled up his shirt cuffs, and helped clean up together.

In fact, Jiang Ruo has a lot of things. The reason why he was able to move out a year ago is because most of the things were left in the rental house, and only the clothes and daily necessities that he often wore were left here.

It's different now, Jiang Ruo almost emptied the rented house and brought all his belongings packed.

Even something that shouldn't be there.

Taking out the doll with a strange posture from the suitcase, Xi Yufeng stared at it for a long time, until Jiang Ruo, who was tidying up the closet, turned his head to look at it.

"Do you know who gave this doll?" Jiang Ruo asked.

Xi Yufeng gave a faint "hmm".

Jiang Ruo looked serious: "Then can I put it on the bedside?"

Xi Yufeng didn't speak, and with a movement of his wrist, the doll flew up in a parabola, and fell to the floor at the end of the bed with a clatter.

Jiang Ruo laughed loudly: "You still say you're not jealous?"

Later, the doll was placed in a box that Jiang Ruo specially used to put gifts from friends.

And the bottle of wine that he wrapped tightly with three layers of bubble film was placed on the window sill of the dance studio, side by side with the other bottle.

While wiping the body of the bottle with a dry cloth, Jiang Ruo rubbed the letters on the bottle of wine he gave him, and suddenly thought of something.

"How do you understand the words on it?"

Xi Yufeng leaned on the armrest with his elbows behind him, and raised his eyes to look over at the sound: "How do you understand, that's how I understand."

Jiang Ruo: "...I understand it through Baidu, don't you too?"

Xi Yufeng laughed as if he could see Jiang Ruo's earnestness when typing letter by letter into the phone.

Jiang Ruo heard a bit of irony, he stood up, raised the wine bottle in front of Xi Yufeng, and ordered: "Read!"

Xi Yufeng went to school.

The Western pronunciation is melodious, with ups and downs in tone, coupled with Xi Yufeng's deep and slightly hoarse timbre, and deliberately slowed down the speed of speech, the two lines of poems are recited with a melodic effect.

It is the gentleness that the wind stops.

Hearing that Jiang Ruo was drunk, as if he was drunk even without drinking, he asked Xi Yufeng, "Why do you know everything?"

"There are also things I don't know."

"what?"

After a moment of silence, Xi Yufeng said: "To keep you."

Perhaps it is natural, or perhaps all the stories that have been experienced inevitably touch black. The sequelae left by that broken night a year ago always appear suddenly when Xi Yufeng feels that he is very close to happiness .

While swallowing a mouthful of air, Jiang Ruo consciously was also pulled into the bottomless vortex.

But he wasn't going to struggle.

He used to think that a good love should be full of sunshine and stay away from negative emotions such as sadness and pain.

Until he walked into the world of Xi Yufeng, was influenced by him, and was penetrated by his dark background.

It’s like a fish released into the sea. At first, it only fears the deep sea and huge waves. Later, it gradually adapts to its vastness and its depth. It can enjoy its warmth and gentleness when the sky is clear, and embrace its turbulence when it is stormy.

Putting down the wine bottle, he raised his hand to grab the collar of Xi Yufeng's white shirt, Jiang Ruo raised his face and looked at him.

With a kind of "since you have pulled me in, you can never think about being alone", and asked him: "Then why did I appear here?"

What responded to him was Xi Yufeng's sudden dark eyes and a straight kiss.

There is a lot of traffic outside the window, and the two bottles of wine falling in the bright night are like two people cuddling each other.

It's as if they've never been apart.
