come to my office after get off work

When Jiang Shu came out of the shower, the rain outside became heavier.

The rain in summer is always like this, coming in a hurry, the raindrops are crackling and flapping against the window, the evil wind is wanton, and the green branches outside the window are blown to this side by the wind.

Because of the rain, Jiang Shu felt a little cold in his thin pajamas.

Ji Lianxing and Jiang Xiaotan were sitting on the bed. They didn't know what they were playing. It should be a card that children like to play.

"are you hungry?"

Jiang Xiaotan looked up at her, nodded, "I'm hungry."

"I just know how to eat, I didn't ask you." Jiang Shu's eyes fell on Ji Lianxing's face, and asked again: "Are you hungry?"

"A little bit." In fact, Ji Lianxing was already hungry and didn't eat much in the morning. After working all morning, it rained and rushed home again.

"Why don't I go down and cook." Ji Lianxing put down the card in his hand and was about to get out of bed and put on his shoes.

Jiang Shu took a step ahead of her and said, "You play with Xiao Tan, and I'll go down and make lunch for you."

"Sister, let Shushu go, Shushu cooks delicious food!" Jiang Xiaotan wanted to play cards with Ji Lianxing, so of course he didn't want Ji Lianxing to leave.

The two of them sang together, Ji Lianxing had no choice but to give up.

When Jiang Shu went downstairs, the lobby on the first floor was very quiet. Probably because of the rain, the guests were resting upstairs, and the receptionist also went back to the room to take a nap.

She walked towards the backyard. There were two small nests in the corner of the yard. The cats and dogs were squatting in the nests to shelter from the rain.

The white cat named Mouse stared at Jiang Shu, blinking with different pupils, as if it could see through everything.

The next second, another little head popped out of the cat's nest, and a white cat popped out beside it, which turned out to be a star.

Xing Xing and the mouse got along very harmoniously, and they slept in the same nest after only a few days, maybe because they are both white cats, they still look alike, as if they found their sisters who had been lost for many years.

Jiang Shu thought it was very cute, so he stayed for a while to tease the cat, and finally got into the kitchen.

It was still raining outside, the water on the eaves was dripping, and there was a bit of coolness in the air. She took out the ingredients from the refrigerator and started cooking. Cooking quietly by herself felt very comfortable.

She is going to cook some home-cooked dishes, one meat and one vegetarian, and make a soup.

A few years ago, Jiang Shu didn't like to cook, but liked to eat outside. Later, he lived alone. After living for a long time, his personality became Buddhist, and he liked to cook by himself.

She picked the vegetables, washed them, and was about to fry them, when she heard a dog barking in the yard.Putting down the things in his hand, he looked out the door and found someone standing in the hall with a suitcase, as if he was about to open the room.

She was going to call Xiao Zhang, but as soon as she walked into the living room, she saw a familiar figure.

A woman wearing sunglasses and bright lipstick stood at the door of the counter. Two years later, she had matured a lot, but her face was still young.

"Yu Meng?" Jiang Shu was a little surprised. If I remember correctly, I heard from Ji Lianxing that Yu Meng went abroad two years ago, didn't he come back next year?

The other party turned his head when he heard the words, and when he saw Jiang Shu, the astonishment on his face was no less than that of Jiang Shu, but it was just a flash, and he quickly came back to his senses.

About Jiang Shu, Ji Lianxing said on the phone a while ago.

How should I put it, because of that incident, Yu Meng wanted to pinch Jiang Shu on the spot. She hated him to death, and regretted that she didn't stop Ji Lianxing from getting to know her.

But when she later found out that it was a misunderstanding, her mood was quite complicated, and she was considered half of the party involved.So when she saw Jiang Shu again, she was a little at a loss. After all, she had said harsh words to Jiang Shu back then.

On the contrary, Jiang Shu greeted him very naturally: "Why are you back? Does Xiao Ji know?"

The tone was very normal, it seemed that she didn't take what happened back then, and Yu Meng was also relieved.

"No, it's a surprise for her."

Jiang Shu smiled and nodded, "Really, then wait a minute, I'll go upstairs and call her."

"No, what floor is she on? How about I go up and look for her."

Yu Meng's impression of Jiang Shu was still that of a high-ranking rich woman, she didn't dare to let her run away, she had better go upstairs by herself.

"Okay, you can go up, room 203. I'll go to the kitchen and cook first."

A question mark slowly appeared in Yu Meng's heart, is she so diligent?Cook for Ji Lianxing?A rich woman goes to the countryside to take the spoon?

Although she thought so in her heart, Yu Meng didn't show it at all.

"Okay, then I'll go up first."

On the second floor, Ji Lianxing and Jiang Xiaotan were about to start the second card game when there was a knock on the door.

"So fast." Ji Lianxing put on his shoes and got out of bed, thinking that Jiang Shu should know the password, why did he knock on the door, so he called through the door: "Who?"

Laughter came from outside the door: "Who are you talking about?"

! ! ! !

Even if Ji Lianxing spoke while pinching his nose, he would know who it was.She quickly opened the door, and Yu Meng was standing outside.

"God! Why are you back!"

"Haha, I'm tired of staying abroad. It's lonely. It's better to be at home." Yu Meng stretched out her hand and hugged Ji Lianxing. Her chin rested on Ji Lianxing's shoulder, and her eyes naturally fell on the bed. Have a child?"

The two separated, and Ji Lianxing began to introduce:

"This is Jiang Shu's niece, take her to play during the summer vacation."

Immediately afterwards, she turned her head and said to Jiang Xiaotan, "Xiaotan, my name is Sister Yu."

Jiang Xiaotan nodded obediently, "Hi sister Yu!"

"Hello, hello." Yu Meng entered without pulling the suitcase, "Is this your room?"

Ji Lianxing quickly realized something, and hurriedly said: "My house is upstairs."

Yu Meng raised her eyebrows, realizing what Ji Lianxing meant, "Oh~~"

"Xiao Tan, can you stay in the room for a while? I'll take Sister Yu upstairs to store things."

Jiang Xiaotan nodded obediently, "Okay~ I'll play by myself for a while."

The two haven't seen each other for too long, and there are too many things to say.Ji Lianxing shared some luggage for Yu Meng and took her up to the third floor.

"How did you come here? It was silent."

"Follow the address." Yu Meng sent things to Ji Lianxing abroad before, of course he knew the address here, but he was a little surprised when he actually arrived here, "Have you lived here for two years?"

Ji Lianxing nodded, "Yes, it's pretty good here, but it's a bit out of the way compared to the city, but I don't like places that are too noisy, you know."

"What are your plans for the future?"

Walking to the third floor, Ji Lianxing took out the key to open the door, "I don't have any plans for the time being, I still focus on my career. Recently, I have taken a fancy to a project, and I estimate that I will spend a lot of time in the future."

She handed Yu Meng a pair of slippers and led her into the house.

Yu Meng looked around the room, it was very spacious, full of sense of design, with good lighting and a wide field of vision, just enough to see the scenery outside.

The equipment is also complete, there are projectors, players, and you can listen to music and draw pictures. It is a completely independent personal space.Based on Yu Meng's understanding of Ji Lianxing, Ji Lianxing has lived the life he wanted.

"Your house is fine, isn't this the love room of your dreams?"

"I asked a friend to help design it." Ji Lianxing went to the water dispenser to pour water for Yu Meng, handed it to her, and asked, "What about you? What are your plans for the future?"

Yu Meng took a sip of the water and sat on the sofa, as if she wanted to say something.

"I want to stay in China from now on." She tapped the cup with her finger a few times, looked at Ji Lianxing, "I have made some money in the past few years, and I want to cooperate with you."

Yu Meng is a straightforward person who doesn't like to beat around the bush. She wants to start a business like Ji Lianxing.

When Ji Lianxing wanted to open a homestay, she was very excited, but because she just came out of society and didn't have much money, she finally gave up.In addition, the company intended to promote her, so she finally chose to go abroad to see if she could earn some capital first.

"Really?" Ji Lianxing was quite surprised. She thought that after Yu Meng came back from abroad, there was a high probability that she would return to City A in the end. She didn't expect that she was willing to stay here. She was a little surprised, and couldn't help asking another question: " you sure?"

"Sure, very sure." Yu Meng said with a smile: "We said a long time ago that we want to open a homestay together. Although your dream has come true now, I want to try it too. Neither of us can do it. few."

Speaking of homestays, Ji Lianxing now has three or four under her name, but she is actually very busy. She would like Yu Meng to join in and manage them with her, and her acquaintances will be more trustworthy.

As for Yu Meng, if she wants to open a new store, she actually does not recommend it. It will take too much time and energy. The most important thing is that the bars and homestays in Luberry County are close to saturation. If Yu Meng opens a new store, the probability of losing money It's actually pretty big.

"I have a new project here, do you want to think about it? Regarding the homestay, you can also become a shareholder, don't worry."

Yu Meng pricked up her ears to listen, "New project?"

"Yes, I'm free. Let me introduce a friend to you. They are gourmet up owners. Now their business has extended to the live broadcast, mainly helping fruit farmers to sell fruit. Today we experimented with it and the effect is very good. Later, we plan to find a team to share this together. To start this business, I am worried that there are not enough partners, do you have any intentions?"

As soon as he heard about selling fruit and live broadcasting, Yu Meng instantly thought of a person.

"I think I might be able to help the team. Let's discuss this matter. Maybe it will work." Yu Meng opened the suitcase, took out a business card and handed it to Ji Lianxing. Great, contact her when you are free."

Ji Lianxing took the business card and looked at the name of the person on it: Chi Wen.

"Okay, I'll contact her when I'm free." Ji Lianxing helped Yu Meng put away the box, "Let's go, let's go down and get ready for dinner."

"By the way, I ran into Jiang Shu downstairs just now." Yu Meng wanted to ask a hundred questions, "You and her?"

"We're still getting to know each other."

Yu Meng nodded and looked at Ji Lianxing, "I think she's quite patient, at least she's serious about you, will you guys reconcile in the future?"

"Possibly, but only if both parties are prepared."

Ji Lianxing's mood has been a little high these days, of course there is Jiang Shu's reason for this, but happiness is happiness.

They are all adults, not children playing house. Love needs not only hormones, but also financial support. There are still many problems to be solved between her and Jiang Shu, such as work.

Jiang Shu has a career in City A, and she has a career here. Whether Jiang Shu likes life here, how long he can stay here, and how they should find a balance should all be taken into consideration.

Ji Lianxing pulled back her mind, feeling that it was too early to think about it.

"Come on, let's go downstairs for dinner."

When we were eating lunch, the rain did not decrease at all, and it had reached the level of heavy rain. In broad daylight, lightning started to appear on the other side of the mountain.

At that time, Jiang Shu was serving the dishes. When he saw the lightning bolt, his heart felt frightened, his feet felt weak, his heart beat faster, and the fear in his heart rose.

Ji Lianxing happened to see this scene when she went downstairs. With Jiang Shu's pale face and her terrified expression, Ji Lianxing felt that she had been dragged back to a long time ago. At that time, she was still working in City A. There was a heavy rain that afternoon, and there was also a storm outside the window. There was lightning and thunder, and Jiang Shu sent a message asking her to go to the office. It was then that she knew that Jiang Shu was afraid of thunder.

"Are you okay?" Ji Lianxing quickened her pace, took the plate in her hand, and looked out worriedly. Fortunately, it was only lightning, and the thunder had not yet arrived.

"It's okay." Jiang Shu shook his head, turned his gaze to Jiang Xiaotan, "Come over for dinner."

With Yu Meng, a pair of chopsticks were added, and the four of them sat down to eat.

Jiang Shu picked up the vegetables and put them in Jiang Xiaotan's bowl.

"You eat Shushu, too!" Jiang Xiaotan picked up a chopstick of meat and put it in Jiang Shu's bowl.

"Eat more." Jiang Shu's voice was a little hoarse, and he sounded like he was not feeling well.

In an instant, another bolt of lightning fell from the sky in white, and the lightning in August, like a ferocious beast baring its fangs, rushed towards it menacingly.

Jiang Shu's breathing was stagnant, waiting for the thunder after the lightning, but the sound was delayed.

"Are you okay?" Ji Lianxing put down the bowl, reached out to Jiang Shu with one hand, and patted the back of her hand lightly.

Yu Meng cast a puzzled look, not understanding the situation, thinking she was not feeling well.

Boom! ! !

Unprepared, a loud thunder struck down.

Before Jiang Shu could say anything, Ji Lianxing had already hugged her and whispered in her ear: "It's okay, don't be afraid, I'm here." Then he explained to Yu Meng: "She is a little afraid of thunder, you Eat yours first."

Yu Meng was a little dazed, she knew that some people were afraid of thunder, but she had never seen someone who reacted as violently as Jiang Shu, but she felt that Jiang Shu didn't want to be watched, so Yu Meng looked away, lowered her head and just ate.

Jiang Xiaotan cast a worried look at Jiang Shu. She has lived with Jiang Shu for so many years, so of course she knows that she is afraid of thunder. He chattered like usual, but didn't say anything.

Jiang Shu closed her eyes, her temples were throbbing, she hated thunderstorms, it reminded her of that August night many years ago, also on that night, a car accident took away her brother, the rain that night was very Big, thunderous, and she was arguing with him before the crash, she was the one who survived and the other went to the grave.

Many people said that the car accident was an accident and that the truck was solely responsible, but Jiang Shu always felt that if he hadn't quarreled with him that day, wouldn't his brother be distracted and crash into that car?

It is said that when people have a car accident, most drivers will turn the steering wheel to the left. most dangerous position.

But that night, Jiang Shu's brother turned the steering wheel to the right. Although they were arguing before the car accident, he still chose to protect his sister when danger happened.

This is Jiang Shu's lingering shadow. After so many years, once thunder strikes, he will still think of that night, feel guilty, quite guilty, and regretful, but life cannot be repeated.

"Little hedgehog." Jiang Shu leaned against Ji Lianxing's arms, trying to find a sense of security in her arms, "Can you make it stop thunder?"

Ji Lianxing did not refuse the seemingly absurd request.

"Okay, I'll make it stop thundering." Regardless of Yu Meng's strange gaze, Ji Lianxing hugged her in her arms, and she whispered in Jiang Shu's ear: "Do you remember what I told you a long time ago? As long as there is thunder I will always be with you. Don't be afraid, trust me, I can protect you."

Not just talking about it, but Ji Lianxing also thought so in her heart, her love for Jiang Shu has always come from the heart, she doesn't want to see her get hurt, she is worried about her emotions, and understands her fear.

At this time, another flash of lightning flashed from the other side of the mountain, and Ji Lianxing covered Jiang Shu's ears with both hands, and held her tightly in his arms.

rumbling--

It was a deafening thunder.

Jiang Shu didn't tremble this time, she felt that sense of security in Ji Lianxing's warm palm.In the past, Jiang Shu was very confused. She didn't understand why she liked Ji Lianxing so much the first time she saw her, and she didn't understand what was so special about Ji Lianxing.

But at this moment, she seemed to understand, that feeling was like standing alone on the barren land, waiting helplessly for the judgment of the heavens, but the god of death turned a corner and brought sunshine for her.

When the thunder faded away, Ji Lianxing let go of her hand and asked her, "Are you still afraid?"

Jiang Shu opened his eyes and shook his head, "I'm not that scared anymore."

She saw the anxiety in Ji Lianxing's eyes. This feeling of being worried was very different. Jiang Shu felt that maybe Ji Lianxing would really protect her. As she said, no matter how loud the thunder was, she would By her side, she was not alone in the face of lightning and thunder.
