06.

When we went back at night, the night had already darkened.

Yan Guiqiu was already drowsy when he was in the car, and after getting off the car, he yawned and half closed his eyes, almost being led forward by Jiang Xuehe.

Passing by the mailbox downstairs, a letter was stuffed into a certain box, stuck in the gap, and a small half was exposed.

Jiang Xuehe glanced at it from the corner of his eye, paused in his footsteps, and turned his head to take another look.

The letter seemed to be stuffed in their mailbox at home.

Yan Guiqiu didn't pay attention, and bumped his head into Jiang Xuehe's back. Seeing her stop, he simply leaned on her shoulder, rubbed his eyes, and read the letter opened in her hand.

"Who sent it?" Yan Guiqiu asked, "Is it an advertisement?"

Jiang Xuehe turned the envelope over and showed it to her, "It's from Tan Xiangxi."

It shouldn't have said "sent" either. The place for the postmark on the envelope was empty, obviously stuffed into the mailbox by someone himself.

As for who plugged it, it is unknown.

Maybe it was Tan Xiangxi himself, maybe not, the two who received the letter didn't pay attention to it.

The name Tan Xiangxi was already a little far away for the two of them.

After graduating from university, Qin Xiangxi did not continue her studies, but Jiang Xueyang asked a friend to introduce a job in Yanling City.

The two also had a good relationship for a while, and even wanted to announce the news of their engagement at Jiang Xuehe and Yan Guiqiu's wedding.

However, on the eve of Jiang Xuehe and Yan Guiqiu's wedding, Jiang Xueyang and Tan Xiangxi had a big fight, and the so-called engagement naturally fell through.

Why the two of them quarreled, no one could explain clearly, only Jiang Xueyang's friend asked some questions when he accompanied him to get drunk late at night, and only knew that it was probably due to relationship problems.

This is not a part that other people can intervene in.

Tan Xiangxi had some instinctive dependence on Jiang Xueyang, and Jiang Xueyang couldn't let go of this object who moved him sincerely, so he chose to get back together after more than a month of separation.

At that time, Jiang Xuehe and Yan Guiqiu were traveling abroad for their honeymoon.

Afterwards, Tan Xiangxi and Jiang Xueyang separated and reunited several times, sometimes because of some conflicts in the three views, and sometimes because Mrs. Jiang was in the way, and the parents of the two families quarreled and cursed each other more than once or twice.

But those farces had nothing to do with Jiang Xuehe's two people.

Tan Xiangxi seemed to have completely given up on both Yan Guiqiu and Jiang Xuehe, except for the first few encounters where he hesitated to speak and had a strange look on his face, he never pestered them again.

Later, there were some problems in the Tan family's company. Jiang Xueyang and Tan Xiangxi once again had conflicts because of Mrs. Jiang's interference, and one of them broke up impulsively.

That was the end of their relationship.

Later, I heard that Tan's family had moved to a faraway city, planning to make a comeback, so Tan Xiangxi chose to stay with her parents.

Since then, Jiang Xuehe and Yan Guiqiu have never seen Tan Xiangxi again.

The last time I heard about her was a year ago during the Spring Festival, when a friend was on a business trip and ran into Tan Xiangxi on the way. It is said that she has a new boyfriend who looks at least ten years older than her. But he seems to be a relatively well-bred man, and his economic conditions are not bad in terms of his attire.

After that is today's letter.

The letter contained a folded greeting card-style wedding invitation, and the content inside was also printed out. The tone was very polite, that is, she and her fiancé were about to get married in a certain place on a certain day in a certain year. Chang Yunyun, there are two names written on the signature, one is "Tan Xiangxi", and the other is probably her future husband.

Yan Guiqiu, who was lying on Jiang Xuehe's shoulder, quickly understood the meaning of the invitation.

She yawned and asked Jiang Xuehe, "Are you going?"

Jiang Xuehe glanced at the time on the invitation, and shook his head: "It may not be possible to find the time."

Yan Guiqiu's thoughts were similar to hers: "And she might not really want to see us."

In case there are some old friends who know about it, and see their group of former serial rivals again, if they accidentally say something, it will only embarrass the newcomers.

Jiang Xuehe put away the envelope, and while continuing to walk upstairs, he suggested, "Give me a red envelope then."

"Yeah." Yan Guiqiu nodded in agreement, "It's enough to add a sentence of good relationship for a hundred years."

Jiang Xuehe dragged the large pendant on his back to open the door, stuffed the invitation into the glove box at the door, changed his shoes and turned on the light, and Yan Guiqiu spontaneously swam to the sofa in the living room, lying down go down.

"Sleepy?" Jiang Xuehe asked her.

"It's okay." Yan Guiqiu said slowly, turned over on the sofa, and reached for the remote control on the coffee table, "I'll watch TV for a while, you go take a shower first."

Jiang Xuehe rushed back early in the morning and barely had a rest, so no matter how you look at it, he must be much more tired than her.

So Jiang Xuehe took his clothes and went to the bathroom first.

When she came out of the shower, Yan Guiqiu was lying on the sofa looking through the physical examination report brought back by Jiang Xuehe. Although she didn't doubt Jiang Xuehe's words, she was still somewhat worried in her heart. After going through the medical examination report several times, Yan Guiqiu's brows were still slightly furrowed.

Yan Guiqiu heard the movement, looked up at Jiang Xuehe, and said: "Let's eat lightly for the next two days, and cook some porridge tomorrow morning?"

Jiang Xuehe nodded while brushing his hair, and said, "Okay."

Yan Guiqiu asked again: "Are you going to work tomorrow morning?"

"No need." Jiang Xuehe replied, "There is a non-important meeting in the afternoon. If there is nothing else, I may have to go back to the company."

Yan Guiqiu nodded, put down the inspection report, and looked at the clock on the wall.

It was just before nine o'clock in the evening.

Yan Guiqiu sat up from the sofa, took out the hair dryer from the bathroom cabinet, dried Jiang Xuehe's hair, and immediately reminded her to go to bed early.

"Get up early and go for a run tomorrow morning." Yan Guiqiu had a whim, "Early to bed and early to rise, life lies in exercise."

Jiang Xuehe smiled and said, "Okay."

Yan Guiqiu hugged her pajamas and went to take a bath. When she returned to the room, Jiang Xuehe seemed to have fallen asleep, and lay down carefully beside her. When she turned her head, she met Jiang Xuehe's eyes full of radiance.

"Why aren't you sleeping?" Yan Guiqiu asked.

"I can't fall asleep thinking about you." Jiang Xuehe put his arms around him.

Yan Guiqiu was a little nervous, Jiang Xuehe looked at her for a moment, then smiled suddenly, leaned over and kissed the corner of her lips, and then pulled her into his arms.

"Early to bed and early to rise." Jiang Xuehe said with a low smile, while pulling up the quilt, he reached out and turned off the bedside lamp.

The curtains were not drawn tightly, and the moonlight shining through revealed the outline of Jiang Xuehe.

Yan Guiqiu got close, saw the faint blue and black under her eyes, and realized that Jiang Xuehe was probably really tired.

She silently spurned herself from the bottom of her heart, shrunk down, but the sleepiness that had been lingering for a long time seemed to run away from home suddenly.

After staring at Jiang Xuehe for a while, she reached out her hand subconsciously and touched the corner of Jiang Xuehe's eyes. The latter was breathing steadily, without any reaction, as if he was already fast asleep.

At that moment, many thoughts flashed in Yan Guiqiu's mind, from the past to today's date, but in the end, his gaze was fixed on Jiang Xuehe's face, and those fragmentary memories disappeared like bubbles.

When she first saw the inspection report, her heart was half raised, and she read it back and forth, until she lay beside Jiang Xuehe, feeling her body temperature and steady breathing, all those worries dissipated, and only relaxation remained. with contentment.

But they should exercise well...

Yan Guiqiu thought in a daze, and subconsciously burrowed into Jiang Xuehe's arms, gradually feeling sleepy.

07.

Outside the grotesque dream corridor.

Jiang Xuehe sat at the door of the consulting room, waiting for the doctor to call his number.

When it was so silent that it was about to doze off, it vaguely heard voices coming from the side.

"It's a miracle that such a terminal illness can be cured."

"It's also Ms. Ming, you have a strong will to survive, and you survived until the new medicine came out..."

"Remember to take a good rest after you go back, and come back for regular checkups..."

"Anyway, congratulations on your discharge from the hospital."

Jiang Xuehe didn't hear the words clearly anymore, turned his head subconsciously, and saw a young woman standing in a room not far away. She was tall and thin, with long brown and black hair tied low, and her side face hanging under her bangs. With a slight smile, not too eager, a glance is still impressive.

A great beauty with a sense of alienation.

Jiang Xuehe was dazed, and heard the doctor in the opposite room call her name.

When standing up and walking into the room, Jiang Xuehe wondered in a daze, why did she come here?

It seems to be a cold.

Listening to the doctor's request, Jiang Xuehe stuck out his tongue and gave her a look.

The female doctor, who couldn't see her face clearly, lowered her head to write her medical records, and at the same time told her some dietary precautions when she caught a cold.

Jiang Xuehe nodded in a daze, and walked out of the hospital with a medical record and a bag of cold medicine.

The small square outside the door was empty, and few people could be seen.

There is a tree in each of the flower beds on both sides, and the buds of the branches are slowly stretching, vaguely signaling the arrival of spring.

Jiang Xuehe stopped at the door. The woman he saw in the corridor hadn't gone far. He had just gone down the stairs when he was stopped by a young girl.

The little girl is not very old, and her height is only half the height of a person's waist.

A large bouquet of flowers almost covered her face.

The brightly colored bouquets feature two bird-of-paradise sprigs.

The little girl tiptoed and handed the bouquet of flowers to the woman's arms.

That Miss Ming was as confused as Jiang Xuehe in the back, leaned slightly and asked the girl, "Who are you?"

"Sister Ming Huan." The girl called out her name accurately, with a crisp voice, "You saved my life outside the hospital a few years ago, have you forgotten?"

Ming Huan showed a dazed expression: "So it's you, why are you here alone? Didn't mom accompany you today?"

The girl shook her head: "I heard that Ming Huan's sister recovered and was discharged from the hospital, so I came to see you and congratulate you."

Ming Huan took the flowers she pushed so hard, and only had time to say "thank you".

The girl handed over the bouquet and said loudly: "I wish you happiness."

As he spoke, he turned around in a hurry and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Jiang Xuehe looked at this scene a little blankly, and the person in front stood still for a while, as if he had noticed the person standing behind him.

Ming Huan hugged the bouquet of flowers and turned to look at her.

The moment they looked at each other, Jiang Xuehe was slightly startled, and his footsteps were nailed in place.

Obviously it was the first time I met a stranger, but it seemed as if I had already met him somewhere.

Ming Huan's eyes were also surprised, but it soon turned into a gentle smile, he blinked at her, and asked her with a smile: "Want to have a cup of afternoon tea together?"

08.

Yan Guiqiu was woken up by Jiang Xuehe in the morning.

She was the one who said to get up early to cook porridge, and she was the one who said to get up early to run, but when she was woken up, it was already past eight o'clock.

Jiang Xuehe had washed up a long time ago, changed into sportswear, and was serving porridge in the kitchen.

Yan Guiqiu passed by the kitchen door with a toothbrush in his mouth in a daze, feeling that Jiang Xuehe seemed to be in a good mood today.

"Did you have any sweet dreams at night?" Yan Guiqiu asked casually.

"Perhaps." Jiang Xuehe smiled, but she didn't quite remember what she dreamed about. There is no doubt that the quality of sleep the night before was quite good, and she was refreshed in the morning without any signs of fatigue.

"Go and change your coat after washing your face. I'll find it for you. I just checked. The nearby sports field is open to the public for free in the morning."

It sounded like Jiang Xuehe had already made all the preparations, and at the end he didn't forget to ask one more question: "I remember you didn't have class this morning, right?"

Yan Guiqiu nodded with a bitter face.

The ambition of the previous night had long been obliterated by the inertia of staying up in bed in the morning. Although it was not cold in the room, she only felt that her hands and feet were heavy when she thought of going out for a run in the winter morning.

After changing clothes, he lingered to the dining table, Yan Guiqiu finally regained consciousness a little bit.

Jiang Xuehe reached out and put the porridge bowl in front of her, while bending down, he gave her a good morning kiss.

"Are you refreshed now?"

Yan Guiqiu stretched out his hand and patted his cheek, nodded, and finally pulled himself together.

After breakfast, it was just past 08:30, which was a little late for a morning run, but everything was difficult at the beginning, so the two insisted on going out.

Fortunately, the weather has gradually warmed up this time, the sun is falling, and the cold air is not so piercing.

There is a small stadium near the community, and many people have gathered on the playground. Except for the children who don't need to go to school, the rest are basically old men and women who have finished exercising a long time ago.

Among a group of old and young, the two young adult women with dark hair seemed a little awkward.

Among them were some familiar neighbors who greeted them with a smile and encouraged them to keep exercising more.

Naturally, the two of them could only say "yes" in succession.

After running two laps outside, it was Yan Guiqiu who was more energetic.

When Jiang Xuehe was sitting on the side of the road resting, Yan Guiqiu wasn't even out of breath.

"... How young are you..."

It may also be due to other reasons, such as Yan Guiqiu's physical fitness is relatively good.

Jiang Xuehe smiled helplessly, and walked back slowly with Yan Guiqiu for the second half of the journey.

"Let's go to the gym next time." Yan Guiqiu stretched out his hand to help Jiang Xuehe zip up his coat, "In case you don't have any results from your workout and catch a cold first."

Jiang Xuehe said, "Okay."

Before she got home, she had already searched for several nearby gyms on her mobile phone.

Yan Guiqiu had to admire her ability to act.

Jiang Xuehe glanced at the time, thinking about finishing the meeting in the afternoon, and picking up Yan Guiqiu to take a look.

While setting an approximate time, he said, "It's not that you have strong mobility."

"Huh?" Yan Guiqiu turned to look at her.

"Because I cherish my life." Jiang Xuehe smiled, put down his phone to hold Yan Guiqiu's hand, and went upstairs with her, saying, "I also want to live longer, preferably a hundred years old."

Yan Guiqiu also laughed, and said seriously: "You will."

"It is said that people with a good attitude generally live longer. You seem to be so happy every day when you are with me." Yan Guiqiu said seriously, "With me by your side, you must live longer than others."

She actually knew what Jiang Xuehe was thinking.

The expression on Jiang Xuehe's face became soft, almost soft, like the warmth rising from the depths of his heart.

At that moment she wanted to kiss Yan Guiqiu, but in the end she just held her hand tighter.

"Yeah." Jiang Xuehe said slowly, "The longer you live, the more time you can spend with you."

The rest of my life in the future seems to be so long.

However, when I think of the day when it will end, I feel that every day is so precious.

Even if it is an extra day, an extra hour, or an extra second, it is a great thing to be able to hold each other's hand.

So she hoped that the rest of her life would be longer and longer.
