come to my office after get off work

Less than half an hour after Xu Shuxia went up, Jiang Shu received her WeChat message:

【She said she wanted to talk to you. 】

So fast?Just as Jiang Shu wanted to praise Shu Xia for cutting the mess with a good knife, another message popped up:

[It has nothing to do with me, she wanted to talk about it on her own initiative. 】

Two minutes later, Xu Shuxia came down from upstairs, and Jiang Shu got up and went upstairs alone.

This is Jiang Shu's first visit to Ji Lianxing's room, and she is full of curiosity about where she lives.

On the second floor, there is a door at the corner of the corridor. Before going to the third floor, you have to open this door to go up. The door is not locked. Jiang Shu pushed it in, and then went upstairs. The stairwell is a bit dark, as if it is not transparent Light.

Every time he took a step on the stairs, his heart beat faster. Jiang Shu was thinking, what are they going to talk about later?

Knock knock, she knocked lightly on the door.

After a while, the door opened a crack, and the light inside came out, followed by Ji Lianxing's face.

She has a ball head and drops of water on her face. She should have just washed her face. She is wearing a white T-shirt and denim shorts, which is very simple.

"Come in." Ji Lianxing pushed the door open, turned sideways, took a pair of slippers from the shoe rack and handed them to Jiang Shu, "Wait for me in the living room."

She turned around and walked towards the bathroom, Jiang Shu stared at her slender back, with a pair of long white legs dangling, until she turned around and entered the door and disappeared from sight, Jiang Shu lowered his head to put on his shoes.

The sound of splashing water came from the bathroom.

Putting on his shoes, Jiang Shu was full of curiosity and looked around. Looking in from the entrance, he could see the bright and bright living room at a glance. Extending out was a balcony. There was a round white table and an easel on the balcony. It is full of flowers and plants, with green in red and white in green, which looks full of vitality.

The layout inside the house is very simple. The bright and cool colors make people feel comfortable. There is a CD rack and player next to the sofa. It turns out that she still retains the habit of listening to music in this way.

Jiang Shu walked up to the player, put his hand on the switch button of the player, and subconsciously pressed it, and the machine instantly sang a song: "Andtheskyisgrey..." and sang that very loudly, Jiang Shu Startled, I immediately stopped playing.

It turned out that she was still listening to "Chongqing Forest". Jiang Shu was a little moved. She thought that when Ji Lianxing left the CD in Song's third courtyard, it meant that she would never listen to it again. She didn't expect to buy a new one.

The sound of water in the bathroom stopped, and within three to five seconds, Ji Lianxing appeared in Jiang Shu's sight. She obviously heard the singing, and while wiping her face with a washcloth, she looked at Jiang Shu, and the two just stared at each other.

Ji Lianxing said, "Do you drink coffee?"

Jiang Shu was stunned for a moment, "You can have a drink."

Ji Lianxing turned around and disappeared again.

The sun outside was very attractive, Jiang Shu walked towards the balcony, ready to sit and bask in the sun.Only then did she see clearly what was drawn on the drawing board, it was a little hedgehog, oh, no, it was half a hedgehog, Jiang Shu stared at the dark maroon spikes on the drawing board, not knowing that Ji Lianxing could still draw.

Ten minutes later, Ji Lianxing came over with two cups of coffee and put them on the round table. She moved another stool and sat on the side with Jiang Shu.

Not far away is the mountain, and a beam of warm light shines through the gap between the mountain and the mountain, shining on the coffee cup, and the liquid in the cup shakes gently, shining brightly.

The two of them closed their eyes tacitly and basked in the sun for a while.

"Well, let's talk about it today."

Jiang Shu nodded, "Okay, let's talk about it."

"Actually, I don't need to watch the video. You probably said something. I just want to ask you one thing, have you ever liked me?" Ji Lianxing opened his eyes, and his eyes fell on Jiang Shu's face.

Jiang Shu's face was flushed by the sun, and her skin was smooth, down to every fine detail. Two years later, she was still young.

Jiang Shu nodded, "Of course I like it."

"After we broke up, did you find another girl?"

"No." How could it be possible to go to someone else, always alone.

Ji Lianxing sighed, sure enough, Lan Yue had premeditated plans.

"Actually, Lan Yue came to see me and sent me some emails. In the video, you are smiling and eating with a girl in your arms. The girl also listens to you very much and feeds you." She took out her mobile phone, Handed it to Jiang Shu, "I doubted myself during that time, and I doubted this relationship even more after seeing the video. Yu Meng actually called me later, and I asked her to block you."

Later, Yu Meng was sent abroad for further studies because of her outstanding performance. In the past two years, her contacts were all online, and she had never met in person.

Jiang Shu took the phone and clicked on the video to watch. The picture was very clear. There was Li Xiangyan's voice and Jiang Shu's. A girl leaned in Jiang Shu's arms and called her sister. Jiang Shu took a spoonful of mashed potatoes and put it into her mouth. inside.

The content is true, but the timeline is wrong. This is the girl before he met Ji Lianxing. Jiang Shu only watched it for a few moments before turning off the video and returning the phone to Ji Lianxing.

"The video is from the past, this girl, um..." It was one of her previous interests, but not for long.Jiang Shu looked into the distance, staring at the tree on the mountain in a daze, a little disappointed, "Little hedgehog, actually, I think the real reason for our separation is that apart from Lan Yue, you think I won't love you."

"Yes." Ji Lianxing bowed his head, and since he wanted to open his mouth, he said it, "With you, I am always happy and unreal, and I shrink back after being brave, and I always linger."

"Why?" Jiang Shu was puzzled, wouldn't it be enough if he fell in love?

"Not equal." Ji Lianxing pursed her lips, she was not sure if Jiang Shu could understand her meaning, "I don't mean your behavior, but the objective existence between us, regardless of life experience or economic strength."

Jiang Shu replied in a second: "I don't mind."

"I know, you don't mind. But I do."

"What do you care about?"

Ji Lianxing smiled wryly, "You can take me to eat a five-figure meal, and the only thing I can give you is 70 yuan of Bubble Mart. If you buy me [-] pieces of clothes, I dare not Wear it because I don't know what to wear with it."

She lowered her eyes, thinking about something, and then said: "I drink 8 yuan of instant coffee, and you drink 2000 cans of Geisha. You are high above the ground, and the money you earn in 1 minute is worth half a month of mine. Apart from economic strength, the relationship between us There are also differences in family, origin, and social status."

"Little hedgehog, I never cared about those things, as long as they are in love, isn't it enough?"

Ji Lianxing nodded, and answered her seriously:

"Yes, I understand, you don't care. Jiang Shu, if we switch positions, I won't care about it. We just have different positions. Your wealth makes you not dislike my poverty, because you are already rich enough But my poverty will make me feel inferior, which is uncontrollable. At that time, I was not confident. I couldn't believe that you would fall in love with me like that. When I saw you sleeping with Lan Yue At that time, my first reaction was to doubt myself, whether I am not worthy of being liked by you?"

Jiang Shu gasped when he heard this, feeling a little pain in his heart.

"On the day I left, I was thinking, even if we fell in love, we would still have to go back to daily necessities. I was thinking, what can I give you in the days to come? Will we have something in common? Those things you have seen I don't know what to do? With the matter of Lan Yue, I completely denied this relationship."

Jiang Shu frowned, and said distressedly: "But you are also very good."

"When I didn't fall in love with you, I felt the same way. I was very proud that I walked out of that small village. I was very proud that I could get a salary of tens of thousands after graduation. I was very proud that I could survive in a big city like City A. Go on." Ji Lianxing's throat was a little choked, "But Jiang Shu, when my uncle was sick and couldn't give her money, I couldn't be proud anymore. After taking your money, I felt inferior."

Ji Lianxing's eye sockets were already red, and tears were stuck in them, forcing them not to fall.

"Yes, selfishly speaking, I felt happy even in those days when I was taken care of by you, but it was very unreal. Maybe I thought you were just playing with me from the beginning." Ji Lianxing couldn't hold back, tears fell , "The gap between us is like the third courtyard of the Song Family and your building in the city center. One can only see the broken building out of the window, while the other can overlook the whole city."

Jiang Shu wanted to reach out to wipe her tears, but she avoided it.

"Listen to me."

Jiang Shu withdrew his hand, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

"With the encouragement of Brother Li, I decided to give it a try with you. After we were together, I secretly vowed to work hard, keep up with your pace, and try to widen the gap between us."

"But Lan Yue's incident really broke me down. I have never been in a relationship, let alone had skin-to-skin contact with others. When I saw you lying on the sofa with her in your arms, it wasn't just the things on the table. , and the way you hugged her, I felt extremely disgusted instantly."

"And that morning, I asked you if you thought about me when it happened that night with Lan Yue. You defended her and accused me of speculating about your relationship with her." Ji Lianxing felt that her heart was completely broken at that time. Hardened.

"Of course, I didn't know you were a victim too."

"I just want to escape, I just want to leave, I want to never see you. I don't want to hear your explanation."

"But now, it seems that you are not wrong."

Ji Lianxing twisted the tissue into a ball and threw it into the trash can, her eyes were red and she stopped talking.

Jiang Shu was silent, his eyes fell on the round table, the two cups of coffee were still warming.

What Ji Lianxing said, Jiang Shu never thought about it. She was just confused at the beginning, why Ji Lianxing couldn't accept those gifts calmly, and they were not very expensive.

She didn't expect that their meeting was based on such a relationship. There was money between them. Even though Jiang Shu didn't care about the money at all, she forgot that Ji Lianxing did.

She also forgot that in the past, she had taken care of so many girls, which really made Ji Lianxing feel insecure, and Lan Yue's behavior was indeed another blow.

"I didn't think too much about it," Jiang Shu said.

Ji Lianxing nodded, "I know."

"We seem to have only been in love for a week?" Jiang Shu said suddenly.

Ji Lianxing didn't understand why she said this, but she still replied: "It's less than a week, we were together on Saturday, we broke up on Wednesday, it's only four days."

"What about now? Will you still choose me now?" Jiang Shu looked at her sideways, with some expectation in his eyes, "Or, do you still like me?"

"Jiang Shu, I have grown up a lot in the past two years. Love is no longer a necessity for me. I am no longer who I used to be. You liked me before, but will you like me now?" Ji Lianxing He also looked at her, with more relief in his eyes, "I think it will be difficult for us to be like before."

"Oh." Jiang Shu looked away, very disappointed, but she could also feel that Ji Lianxing was indeed not the old Ji Lianxing, she had old parts, but more of a new look.

"I regained my confidence, but I lost the courage to love again." Ji Lianxing was depressed, she was stating a fact, telling Jiang Shu that she had solved a knot in her heart, but she wanted to talk to her again It takes courage to fall in love.

Do you still like it?I like it.But how can I hug without any scruples like before?too difficult.

Neither of them spoke, just sat on the stool, looking at the mountains, the sun, and other people's hometowns.

Butterflies flutter among the flowers, and the air is filled with the scent of pollen.

Less than half a meter away from Jiangshu, there is a half hedgehog on an easel. Its bulging eyes are somewhat dull. Behind the painting, there is a box of purple gemstone flowers. It grows just right, with full and luxuriant leaves.

After contemplating, Jiang Shu finally spoke again:

"Can you accept that someone else will spend the rest of my life with me?"

That picture flashed across his head, and Ji Lianxing's heart stabbed heavily, as if he couldn't.

Jiang Shu said again: "If you want to throw away the past, it's fine. But we can't just end it like this."

"How about that?"

Jiang Shu looked at her with burning eyes, "We should have a chance to get to know each other again."
