come to my office after get off work

As for the uncle, when the mother was ill, the family had no money, so the money was borrowed from the uncle. Even though the aunt strongly opposed it and made a fuss, she finally borrowed it.

Later, after my mother died, my uncle tried his best to help, and never said anything.

Now that his life is dying, half of his body has been buried in the loess, but he doesn't even have the money to buy a coffin. Thinking about it, he feels sad and absurd.

Ji Lianxing was very sad. If she could, she really wanted to repay him. After all, this was her only relative.

As for money, it is impossible to go to Jiang Shu again. If he really asks, he will really be a beggar.

Ji Lianxing was very blocked in her heart. She hated iron but steel, hated Ji Siyu's kind of lazy and taking things for granted. If Ji Siyu had been fighting for a bit these years, he would not be able to eat at home like he is now.

Back at the work area, Ji Lianxing asked for leave from her supervisor, and she decided to go back early tomorrow morning.

For the next time, she was in a state of absent-mindedness, and she couldn't help but think about uncle's affairs in her head.

The uncle's current appearance reminded her of her mother. It was a similar feeling. Life had come to an end, people were about to leave, and she could do nothing.

Is money everything?Judging from Ji Siyu's tone on the phone just now, I'm afraid even if he has 100 million, he won't be able to recover.

"It seems to be raining soon." Someone in the office said that.

Ji Lianxing looked out of the window, and there were a few dark clouds floating from the other side of the city, covering the tall buildings, heavy and dull, pressing on her heart, it was going to rain, but it was still raining just now. sunny.

In just one or two minutes, the heavy rain fell down from the sky.

At this time, a message popped up on the mobile phone: [According to the notification from the Meteorological Observatory, it is expected that there will be continuous rainstorms from the 5th to the 7th of this month. There is a high probability of thunderstorms from 16:22 to [-]:[-] today. Please pay attention to protection. 】

Ji Lianxing crossed out the message and put the phone on the table, feeling quite a headache.A flash of lightning flashed out of the gray-black sky, like a peanut root uprooted from the soil, firmly grasping the entire city.

Boom—boom! ! !

A few timid girls in the office covered their ears and let out an extremely restrained scream.

Ji Lianxing took a sip of water to calm down the shock, the heavens changed erratically, and the thunderstorm weather in early autumn came as soon as it was said, completely unpredictable.

It's quite scary to have thunderstorms during the day and it's still dark. When Ji Lianxing was in the small town, she often encountered thunderstorms during the day in this month, which was not surprising to her.

At this time, the phone screen lit up, and someone called in, but it only flashed for a moment before hanging up. This time it was not the annoying Ji Siyu, but Jiang Shu.

[Can you come up? ] She played another message.

go up?Now?Working hours?There are still 10 minutes and she will go to the department meeting.

[What's wrong, Boss Jiang? ] Ji Lianxing replied to her.

After waiting for 10 minutes, Jiang Shu did not reply.

There are 10 minutes left before the meeting.Ji Lianxing, who always focused on work, finally chose Jiang Shu between the meeting and Jiang Shu.

She asked the team leader for a leave of absence on the grounds that she was really unwell, and then went straight to the 28th floor.

She was a little worried about Jiang Shu, even though she didn't understand why she was asked to go upstairs during working hours.

Standing in the elevator, Ji Lianxing was a little lost. When did it start?Even if they are just lovers, she and Jiang Shu seem to have a feeling of being entangled with each other. They were untouchable before, but now they are firmly penetrated into their lives.

If this goes on, is it good or not?

Arriving at the 28th floor soon, Ji Lianxing went straight to Jiang Shu's office without having time to say hello to the lady at the front desk.

The moment the door was pushed open, Ji Lianxing saw Jiang Shu sitting on a chair with her face buried in her palms, unable to see her expression.

"Mr. Jiang?"

Jiang Shu raised her head, her lips were pale, and her eyes were full of unconcealable fear.

"What's wrong with you?" Ji Lianxing ran towards Jiang Shu.

"Don't come here yet!" Jiang Shu stopped her, covering his face with one hand, as if he didn't want Ji Lianxing to see her expression clearly.

"Mr. Jiang?"

"Don't talk yet." Jiang Shu ordered her.

Ji Lianxing stopped and stood where she was, she looked at Jiang Shu quietly, she had never seen her like this.

She seems to be avoiding something, afraid of something, hiding something, what is it?Ji Lianxing really wants to know, but if she doesn't want to say that no one knows.

The huge office looked empty and lonely, the dark clouds outside the window darkened the color of the room, Jiang Shu's figure looked weak and helpless under the gray and white, she was sitting by the desk, as if trapped by something, a thick layer Her cocoons wrapped around her shoulders, making her expression a little painful.

"Mr. Jiang..." Ji Lianxing asked her cautiously.

Jiang Shu shook his head, still not letting Ji Lianxing come over.

There was lightning again outside the glass window, this time the prelude was stronger than last time, as if there would be a big thunder in the next second.

Jiang Shu's eyes were terrified, and then, there was another lightning bolt outside the window, and Jiang Shu's shoulders trembled. This detail was captured by Ji Lianxing.

It only took her a second to realize that Jiang Shu was afraid of thunder, and it was not the usual fear.

A few seconds before the thunder sounded, Ji Lianxing went to her side and hugged her regardless of her obstruction. This was the first time she took the initiative to hug Jiang Shu. When she touched Jiang Shu's hand, she found her palm was cold , the whole person was trembling slightly, the fear on his face didn't seem to be faking.

"Don't be afraid." Ji Lianxing hugged her, Jiang Shu didn't struggle, "Are you afraid of thunder?"

"A little bit." As soon as the words fell, there was a thunder outside, Jiang Shu closed his eyes, and the images flashed in his mind, night, thunderstorm, car accident and his bloody appearance, "I'm fine."

While saying that he was fine, his face was as pale as paper, Ji Lianxing looked at the cold sweat on her forehead, wiped her sweat with his hands, and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, it's okay to be afraid, I will accompany you, I will protect you , you are safe now."

Ji Lianxing hugged her tightly, and Jiang Shu leaned in Ji Lianxing's arms, feeling her embrace was very warm, listening to her soft words, Jiang Shu calmed down, at least he felt that he was safe, and his head was not good The picture was quickly squeezed out, leaving only heavy breathing. She took a few deep breaths, trying to calm down her emotions.

"It's like this when it rains, I will think of my brother."

Jiang Shu's elder brother, whom Ji Lianxing has heard of but never met.

"He died. He died on a night of lightning, thunder, and heavy rain. To be precise, both of us deserved to die that night, or I was the one who deserved to die."

Ji Lianxing just listened, but didn't ask. Such a situation made her not know where to ask.

Another death, and it sounded like an accidental death.She understands that feeling. If a loved one takes the first step, no matter whether it is related to you or not, there will always be a block in her heart, and it will be related to a lifetime of anxiety. For example, Ji Lianxing herself will think of her mother when she arrives at the hospital. A correlation that had seeped into her bones and would last until the day she herself went to her grave.

"Mr. Jiang, don't be afraid." Ji Lianxing patted Jiang Shu's shoulder, and comforted her softly: "The past is over."

"It's passed, but I have to come here from time to time." Jiang Shu closed his eyes, feeling the temperature of Ji Lianxing's embrace, with a little scent, which was the scent of figs, which eased her fear.

Leaning in Ji Lianxing's arms, Jiang Shu sighed silently, recalling her brother's death, the guilt kept hitting her, making her feel that the quarrel that night was really unnecessary.

"Calm down and calm down, Mr. Jiang."

Ji Lianxing took Jiang Shu to sit on the sofa and patted her on the back lightly.

"Mr. Jiang, life is not easy, and life and death are impermanent. I just received a call from Ji Siyu. My uncle should be dying. It's just a matter of these two days." Even though her tone was normal, it was a compromise after giving up struggling, "If he dies, It means that the last relative I have in this world is gone. The last time it was my mother, she also left like this, so I understand how you feel."

Ji Lianxing swallowed his emotions down his throat, and said to Jiang Shu with a smile: "I'm going home tomorrow, and then I may never have a home to go back to."

The two looked at each other, Jiang Shu looked into her eyes, there was a lot of sadness in the pure pupils, I don't know what this little girl has experienced, but her life must be very hard.

Jiang Shu's mood calmed down, and he was with Ji Lianxing. Jiang Shu exchanged the coldness of his palm for warmth, which was given to her by Ji Lianxing.

"It's okay, Mr. Jiang, don't be afraid when there is thunder in the future, I will be by your side."

Jiang Shu was a little moved when he heard that, Ji Lianxing's eyes were too real, this kind of sincerity moved her.

"What if you're not by my side?" Jiang Shu asked her.

"Then you can look directly at the sky and face your fear. If I am also in N City, I will look at the sky with you, which means that I am by your side."

She would look at the sky with him, Jiang Shu thought, if he had this kind of thought, he would not be so afraid.

"Thank you, little hedgehog."

Jiang Shu recalled what Li Xiangyan said at noon, and she found it quite ridiculous. If Canary fell in love with the benefactor, then that Canary must be stupid enough to explode.And now she is thinking about another question, will there be a gold master in this world who is in love with the canary?

For some reason, this question just popped out of her head, so that she didn't go too deep into the reason.It took two seconds for Jiang Shu to deny this possibility. She felt that no benefactor in this world would be foolish enough to fall in love with a plaything, and neither would she.

It was still raining outside, and there was a chill in the air. Ji Lianxing sat beside Jiang Shu, holding her hand tightly. Jiang Shu's fingers were white and slender. This kind of touch was something Ji Lianxing never dared to hope for before. s things.

Ji Lianxing stared at her fingertips in a daze. The edges of the manicured nails were healthy pink, and there were a few lovely crescents on the nail caps.

Jiang Shu's hand was no longer cold, but Ji Lianxing didn't want to let go, she thought to herself, at that moment just now, she should have been needed by Jiang Shu briefly, so can she also need her for a while now?

"Boss Jiang." Ji Lianxing lowered his head.

"Huh?" Jiang Shu looked at her sideways, half of her thin face was covered by her long hair hanging down.

"I want a hug too, can I?"

Jiang Shu froze for a moment, then smiled and said, "Of course."

She opened her hands and gave Ji Lianxing a real hug.

Ji Lianxing nestled into Jiang Shu's arms, wrapped her hands around Jiang Shu's neck, closed her eyes, and wanted to rest for a while.A little tired, she still doesn't know where to borrow the uncle's 5 yuan. If he doesn't even have a tomb, Ji Lianxing feels that she may feel guilty for the rest of her life.As for Ji Siyu, this bastard is unreliable no matter what, and selling him is not worth a dime.

"Little hedgehog, are you sad?"

Ji Lianxing didn't speak, but nodded in Jiang Shu's arms.

"Do you think life is too hard?"

Ji Lianxing nodded, then shook his head again.

"Let me hug you well." Jiang Shu hugged her tightly and whispered in her ear: "Would it be better to hug you?"

Ji Lianxing still didn't speak, but nodded.

Her hands hung around Jiang Shu's neck, and Jiang Shu felt a tickle in his heart.

"Sometimes you make me feel bad." Jiang Shu put his arms around her waist, approached her, and kissed her ear tip.

The warm air penetrated into Ji Lianxing's ears, the warmth spread in the pinnae, and the fragrance wafted in the air.

Ji Lianxing's hand hanging around Jiang Shu's neck tightened a bit. She leaned into Jiang Shu's arms, with half of her face pressed against Jiang Shu's face. The idea came to her mind again. If it's not a lover but a couple, it would be great, if Yes, then she can freely express her liking, and she will definitely take the initiative to kiss her and get close to her.

"Boss Jiang, there is nothing to feel bad about." She restrained her emotions, but her voice was still a little trembling: "Just let's hug."

Ji Lianxing felt that hugging was enough, she was afraid that she would fall into Jiang Shu's vortex and would never be able to escape again.
