come to my office after get off work

"If you like me, then I like you too." Yu Meng said it quite conservatively, she didn't want to give it out with enthusiasm, and it would end up in vain.

For her, if she likes eight points in her heart, she will only show three points. She is not willing to show her sincerity until the other party shows the same enthusiasm.

And Chi Wen knew her well, because she knew the reason of Yu Meng's last relationship, she probably understood that such behavior was due to a lack of security.

"Of course I like you." When Chi Wen spoke, there was a smile on her lips, her almond eyes shone seductively, "I want to fall in love with you."

"Falling in love!?" Facing such directness, Yu Meng was a little dazed, besides a little bit of happiness, her heart was more flustered.

She hasn't been in love for a long time, and she almost forgot what it feels like to be in love.

"So do you want to think about it?" Chi Wen suppressed her smile, and her tone was serious: "Your friend called me, and I came right away. Why do you think I'm so active?"

She didn't wait for Yu Meng to answer, but asked herself first: "I came here because I thought you might be here. I want to see you."

There was sincerity in her tone and eyes.

Yu Meng looked at her, the temperature of her cheeks rose, and her heart beat unconsciously, almost jumping out of her throat...

"But I haven't been in a relationship for a long time. I'm afraid I can't talk well, I'm not proactive enough, or I'm not considerate enough, or I don't know enough to make you think I'm not perfect..."

"You don't need to take the initiative, I can take the initiative. I like you, not the perfect you. Take it easy, promise me if you want to fall in love, don't think too much."

Yu Meng used to think that falling in love was very troublesome, because she had to be suspicious, doubtful, and think wildly. She often thought that if she could find someone who was direct enough and gave her a sense of security, without those complicated suspicions, then love would be very interesting. of.

But now this person seems to be standing in front of her, and she seems to like Chi Wen more than she imagined.

A little excited.

In the past two years, I have become more and more unaccustomed to being alone, especially after meeting Chi Wen. Maybe when people are lonely to a certain extent, they will long for company.

"Chi Wen, are you serious?"

Chi Wen shook her head, "I never joke about my feelings." She pursued the victory: "If you don't reject me, then I will take it as your acquiescence."

Yu Meng didn't speak, her cheeks were hot.

"I'll count to three..." Chi Wen laughed very happily, "1, 2..." When she counted to "2", she had already laughed out loud, because Yu Meng was really shy, "3!"

"You are my girlfriend~" Chi Wen hugged Yu Meng, but Yu Meng did not push her away, but rested his chin on her shoulder naturally.

Chi Wen's body was very fragrant, just like that night, the fragrance filled her lonely soul and spread out in joy, allowing her to taste the ultimate happiness.

At the same time, on the other side of the bridge, Ji Lianxing's eyes drifted over from time to time. When he saw Chi Wen and Yu Meng hugging each other, he couldn't help but take a few more glances.

Those two are... what are they doing?

And said it wasn't an old lover! ! !

Here Jiang Shu sent a message, asking where Ji Lianxing was.Ji Lianxing reported her location, and Jiang Shu said to wait for her for a few minutes.

Five minutes later, Jiang Shu dragged Jiang Xiaotan to this side, just as Yu Meng and Chi Wen separated.

Jiang Shu was surprised and asked Yu Meng, "Why is your face so red?"

Fortunately, Ji Lianxing rushed over quickly, and hurriedly interjected: "This is Yu Meng's friend."

"Oh, hello." Jiang Shu took another look at Chi Wen, seeing a bit of amazement in each other's eyes, which was a feeling of recognition from the same kind.But she looked away quickly, and said to Ji Lianxing: "Little hedgehog, things are a little urgent, let me talk to you."

"what happened?"

"Just now my mother called and said that my father was not feeling well and was hospitalized. Xiao Tan and I may go back later."

"So fast?" But thinking of Jiang Yidong, Ji Lianxing nodded again, "Do you want me to go back with you?"

These years, Jiang Yidong's health has always been very good, and he also has regular physical examinations. Here he suddenly said that he had an upset stomach and was admitted to the hospital. Jiang Shu was still a little anxious.

"Do you want to be together? Yes, I'll leave later, are you sure you can?" Jiang Shu glanced at Chi Wen intentionally, implying that Ji Lianxing didn't have something to talk to her about.

"It's okay, Chi Wen and I can talk online, we'll pack up and go now."

Yu Meng said that she understood very well, not to mention Chi Wen, and said in relief: "Go quickly and leave us alone."

Because Jiang Yidong's phone call came too suddenly, he left in a hurry. At that time, Jiang Xiaotan was still playing with mud in the yard, and when he heard that he was going to leave, he burst into tears.

"I won't go, I won't go..." The voice was crisp, crying loudly.

Jiang Shu pulled her, "Grandpa is sick, go home first, and bring you here later."

I don't know how long it will be in the future, but Jiang Xiaotan was dragged away so abruptly.

At [-] o'clock in the evening, Ji Lianxing got into Jiang Shu's car. She sat in the passenger seat and Jiang Xiaotan sat in the back seat. The child's eyes were still wet with tears.

"Shushu... what happened to Grandpa?"

"Is hospitalised."

"Hasn't he always been fine?" Jiang Xiaotan felt that something was wrong after saying this, and added: "Grandpa will be fine."

She actually liked Luberry County very much, and wanted to stay there for two more days, but when she heard that Jiang Yidong was sick, the little guy was still willing to go home and see him first.

Ji Lianxing sat in the co-pilot seat without saying a word. The car started the engine and started to move forward. Jiang Shu and Jiang Xiaotan kept talking about Jiang Yidong, and said that Jiang Yidong would go out in mid-August.

In mid-August, summer slipped away again.

It means that in one month's time it will be the anniversary of the uncle's death.

Lost so many important people that Ji Lianxing couldn't listen to it.

My uncle was in good health at the beginning, and then he left as soon as he said it. It took only one year from illness to death.

"Has he had a medical examination?"

Jiang Shu nodded, "Regular physical examination."

"That shouldn't be a problem."

From Luberry County to City A, it takes three hours on the highway.

Jiang Xiaotan fell asleep in the back seat, during which Ji Lianxing chatted with Jiang Shu casually, and Ji Lianxing stared out the window in a daze.

The scenery outside the window changed from mountains to coniferous forests, and then to redwood trees beside the asphalt road, one after another, forming overlapping shadows and passing by.

Until the high-rise buildings in the city appeared in Ji Lianxing's sight, the lights were feasting and the neon lights were shining.

The honking of vehicles, the bustling streets, the hurried pace of people, convenience stores, hotels, CBD buildings, luxury stores...

I haven't come back for two years. Ji Lianxing has been staying in Luberry County for the past two years. He said that he likes the beautiful scenery, but it is better to say that he is unwilling to face the past, so he has been staying in that place.

It's only been two years, and it's been a long time since I returned to this city.

Jiang Shu's company, 28th and 25th floors, subway station, night market street, bar street...

The familiar streets are a little strange, and there seem to be many shadows passing by in front of my eyes, about their past.

"Jiang Shu."

"Ok?"

"City A still hasn't changed."

"It hasn't changed." Jiang Shu nodded, and said, "I haven't changed either."

Ji Lianxing wanted to say that she hadn't changed, but when she thought about it carefully, she seemed to have changed.

City A hasn't changed, Jiang Shu hasn't changed, but she has.

She is no longer the girl who rushed to work in the morning, crashed into the convenience store to buy a cup of hot coffee, and then rushed into the CBD building in a panic to be a social animal.

It's not the girl who went to sing in order to pay back 20 on weekends.

Not to mention the person who is afraid of the future and fears the future, no matter what he does, he has no confidence.

"Do you think I've changed?" Ji Lianxing asked Jiang Shu with a sideways look.

"It's changed." Jiang Shu nodded, turned the steering wheel, and drove in the direction of the Central Hospital, "But I don't think it's changed, you just changed into your original appearance, and you're fine now."

"What do you plan to do in the future?" Ji Lianxing leaned her head against the window, looking at the streamer outside, thinking about how much affection she has for this city, "You will always develop in City A, right? Jiangshu."

"Correct."

In fact, it is the expected answer.

"Then if we get together later, do I have to go back to City A to be with you? Or do we have a long-distance relationship?"

Jiang Shu didn't answer her right away, and fell into thinking. Sooner or later, this problem must be solved head-on.

"I don't want to have a long-distance relationship with you."

"Then I'll have to give up the Louberry County business."

"I don't want you to give up your career either." Jiang Shu said while thinking, "If you like Luberry County, I can go there during the holidays and also on weekends."

"That's very troublesome." Ji Lianxing directly rejected the proposal, "The three-hour journey is actually quite far, and it takes six hours to go back and forth. You only have two days off a week, and half of them have to be used for driving."

"Little hedgehog, let's talk about this matter some time, and there will be a solution. Now go see my dad." The car had already driven downstairs to the hospital, and she glanced at Jiang Xiaotan in the back seat. Sleeping, Jiang Shu reached out and patted her shoulder lightly, "Xiao Tan, wake up, we are here."

Jiang Xiaotan woke up from the dream with a dazed look on his face.

She had just dreamed about catching snakes in Luberry County, and about the ghost story Sister Yu told her last night.

"So fast..." She rubbed her eyes, followed Jiang Shu and Ji Lianxing to get off the car.

It was already ten o'clock in the evening, the surroundings were quiet, and the patient had already begun to rest.

Stepping into the hospital, the air is filled with the smell of disinfectant.

Jiang Shu looked at the message Zhou Xuelan sent her.

"On the fourth floor of the inpatient department."

Jiang Shu held Jiang Xiaotan with one hand and Ji Lianxing with the other, and walked towards the elevator. Just two steps away, someone behind her stopped her:

"Jiang Shu?"

It is a female voice, the voice is very soft, it sounds very weak.

Jiang Shu and Ji Lianxing turned around at the same time, and saw a girl with a ponytail.

It's He Lin.

Two years ago, the Canary who was entangled at the gate of Jiangshu, but time has passed, she no longer had the youthful and beautiful appearance.

"You..." Jiang Shu wanted to ask her what she was doing here, but when she saw her swollen belly, she understood, and said, "Long time no see."

He Lin nodded, and touched her abdomen with one hand, perhaps because of being a mother, her temperament has become a lot gentler.

"I got married this year."

"oh oh."

This year's marriage, is it a marriage with a son?Jiang Shu just nodded, not knowing how to answer.

He Lin's eyes fell on Ji Lianxing's face again, she couldn't help but look a few more times, and let out a very low sigh from her nasal cavity.

"I didn't expect you to be together."

When He Lin recalled that time, she felt that it was far away, absurd, and childish.

Ji Lianxing didn't speak, didn't want to speak, and had nothing to say.

On the contrary, He Lin's attitude changed a lot, as if she had read it, "It's very good, I wish you all the best."

Jiang Shu answered her: "Bless you too, my dad is still upstairs, I'll go up first."

He Lin nodded, "Yeah, goodbye."

Jiang Shu pulled Ji Lianxing and Jiang Xiaotan around and continued walking.

He Lin stood where she was, her eyes a little lost.

Suddenly, I feel that nothing in this world is absolutely impossible.

In the past, she thought that she would never get married, would live an extremely romantic life, and would not have children, but she never expected that now that she has entered the palace of marriage, her belly is getting bigger day by day, and she is living with a person she neither likes nor dislikes.

At that time, she still thought that Jiang Shu would never fall in love with anyone, but now Jiang Shu is holding someone else by the hand, the person she thought Jiang Shu would 100% never love.
