Ji Shui remembered that Yi Ran always blushed whenever she dreamed of her, but now that Yi Ran's face was red again, she must be inseparable when she dreamed of her.

In fact, it doesn't matter much even if her guess is wrong. Yi Ran's biggest shortcoming is that she always leaves three points for herself and seven points for others. She understands the importance of self-esteem, so she doesn't easily let others lose face.This should be a great advantage, but unfortunately, too many people love to use their advantages as their disadvantages. Unfortunately, Ji Shui belongs to this category.

The shy girl who used to be now has stepped into Sanzhang's door, and her shy temperament has not changed. Ji Shui is very happy, it's time to investigate some things, she thought.

Yi Ran was not so happy, so what if she dreamed about it?I really don't want to love anymore, I'm afraid this life is doomed to be parallel lines.She turned her body to the side, too lazy to talk to Ji Shui again.

The more you chew the chocolate in your mouth, the less it tastes like.

Zhang Guohua wandered around the various workshops, gave some pointers to the newcomers, and also gave some hints to some calligraphy and paintings that will be repaired in the future.Then she went to Jishui's auction department for a walk. Jishui had more than a dozen new landscape paintings. She asked the old man to estimate the price and make a reference.

By the time Zhang Guohua was sent away, it was already lunch time.Ji Shui said to Yi Ran, "Let's go and have lunch together."

Yi Ran didn't want to have lunch with Ji Shui, but she was too hungry, so she didn't say anything, and walked towards the cafeteria with her head depressed. Not too daring, stomp one foot, give up.

Yi Ran ordered a Kung Pao Chicken Rice Bowl, two skewers of barbecued meat, and a bowl of pumpkin porridge. When I was very hungry, I always felt like I had to eat a lot.Ji Shui asked for loofah scrambled eggs, braised pork, and seaweed soup—her lunch usually has some meat.

At first, both of them buried their heads in eating without saying anything. Halfway through the meal, Ji Shui couldn't stand the atmosphere, so he said, "Let's have a good chat sometime."

Yi Ran said without raising her head, "It's not necessary."

"I think it's necessary."

"I don't think it's necessary."

"You have to make me understand."

"Are you dead? Is it possible that the person sitting here eating is a ghost?"

Ji Shui was blocked, and didn't know how to refute for a moment. She sighed and said, "Although you are married, there are some things you have to figure out. I don't intend to disturb your life. It's just that I'm too unwilling, and it still takes time." Go and heal your knot. These five years, I know you have had a hard time..."

"Who said I'm having a hard time? I'm having a good time!" Yi Ran interrupted her and said, "Whether you're having a good time has nothing to do with me. I just want to live in peace and I don't want to have anything to do with you anymore."

"You hate me that much?" Ji Shui's eyes dimmed.

"I don't hate anyone." Yi Ran said faintly, "I can live well without you, and you can live well without me. There is nothing you can't do before time. The past is the past, so be it. "

"Jishui!" Fang Jiahui came over, greeted Yi Ran first, and said to Ji Shui with some complaints: "I thought you would have lunch with me."

"Sorry, I'm very hungry, so I came first." Ji Shui said nonsense with an apologetic expression.Fang Jiahui came to work at Qi Ruizhai on the first day, and she was still relatively unfamiliar with the place, and she didn't even know where the cafeteria was, so Ji Shui should have lunch with her in any case.

Fang Jiahui smiled dotingly at her: "Forgive you, let's eat together."

Yi Ran felt uncomfortable all over. She was about to find an excuse to leave when Fang Jiahui asked her, "Can Miss Yi know how to edit ancient books?"

Yi Ran said politely: "I know a little bit. Just call me Yi Ran."

"Okay, Yi Ran, you can also call me Jiahui." Fang Jiahui brushed her curly hair down and said, "I have studied the restoration of ancient books and rubbings in Japan for a while, and I don't know if it is the same as the restoration methods in China. Can I talk to you, please?"

"Okay, please give me your advice then." Yi Ran heard the provocation in her words, and nodded indifferently.I thought to myself, going to Japan to study ancient book restoration is the same as going to the United States to study Chinese linguistics. Normal people feel that they are full, but the person concerned is still complacent.That's right, after all, I have been studying abroad and been gilded, no matter what major it is.Qi Ruizhai had previously organized a restoration team to visit Japan. At that time, Zhang Guohua was still there, and Yi Ran followed him. After the inspection, Zhang Guohua said: "The craftsmanship of the Japanese is the same as that of the Koreans. They are all taught by their teachers." ", although Master and Mistress are a couple, but in terms of professional level, Mistress is only a layman, so she cannot compare with Master.This is a jargon, and it is usually an insinuation that someone is not good at technology.Although the spirit of craftsmanship is well inherited in Japan, it is worth learning and respecting in this regard. After all, there are 13 billion people in China, and there are many people with the spirit of craftsmanship, so there is no need to belittle yourself.

Fang Jiahui seemed to see what Yi Ran was thinking, so she explained: "In Japan, I majored in economics, and restoration was chosen out of interest."

"Well, it's pretty good." Yi Ran was silent about the Japanese repair technology, and then said perfunctorily: "We can communicate more in the future. You eat slowly, I'm done eating, let's take a step first."

Ji Shui said, "You haven't eaten the barbecue yet."

People are so hungry that it’s easy to see big eyes and small stomachs. Yi Ran is full with a rice bowl, but she can’t eat any more barbecue. It’s a pity to throw away two skewers of meat, so she put the barbecue on Ji Shui’s dinner plate. Put down a sentence: "You deal with it", and left.

After Yi Ran left, Fang Jiahui said, "Yi Ran is married, you shouldn't be with her anymore."

Ji Shui didn't speak, just picked up a skewer of roast meat and chewed it carefully.

In the afternoon of the next day, Ji Shui called Xiang Shang to the office. After chatting about the work, Ji Shui asked, "Are you doing anything tonight?"

Xiang Shang thought he had to work overtime, so he said, "It's fine tonight."

Ji Shui looked at the time and said, "It's almost five o'clock. It's time to get off work. Since you're free tonight, go to dinner with me. I still have something to ask you for advice."

Xiang Shang couldn't refuse the invitation from his immediate superior, so he went to a restaurant called "Shu Wei" under the leadership of Ji Shui.The restaurant is not too big, but it is exquisite. There is a bamboo forest outside the restaurant, and there are also bamboo tables, chairs and decorations inside the restaurant. As soon as Xiang Shang entered, he felt fresh and pleasant. He couldn't help taking out his phone to take two photos of the interior. Outdoor view.

After being seated, Ji Shui ordered four dishes and one soup. She had asked her secretary Xiao Zhao about Xiang Shang's food preferences before, so the four dishes and one soup were all ordered according to Xiang Shang's taste.After ordering, she said, "I asked Xiao Zhao, you seem to prefer Sichuan cuisine, so I brought you here."

Xiao Zhao is such a big-mouthed woman, but she still fulfills her duties as a secretary, slandering Xiang Shang.And politely: "Look, Mr. Ji, I'm really embarrassed to let you accommodate me."

"It's nothing, I also like Sichuan food."

The dishes were served quickly, and Xiang Shang held up his chopsticks to try it. The taste was indeed authentic, and he praised: "Authentic! I haven't eaten such authentic Sichuan food for a long time. This place is quite unremarkable, Mr. Ji, how did you find this place?" "

"It was recommended by my classmates," Ji Shui helped Xiang Shang pour tea, and said in a casual way: "This place only opened at the end of the year before last. The proprietress is my senior sister and is from Chengdu. Naturally, she loves Sichuan food, so her husband gave it to her." I opened this restaurant. There is no advertisement here, and I don’t try to make a lot of money. There is also a rule that all Peking University alumni have a [-]% discount on meals. The couple just want to satisfy their hobbies in food, and they basically rely on promotion in the circle. As a result, it is still often overcrowded. It doesn’t matter if there are too many people, it’s better to have a meal alone. I came here once when I just returned to Beijing, and it felt good. Bring Yi Ran's best friend here."

Ji Shui mentioned Yi Ran twice in the last sentence, the purpose couldn't be more obvious, Xiang Shang's heart skipped a beat, thinking of Yi Ran's advice not to talk too much about her to Ji Shui a few days ago, the alarm bell sounded in his mind, and Refreshingly agreed: "I'm really honored, really honored."

"Eat vegetables," Ji Shui smiled and picked a piece of fish for her with serving chopsticks, and chatted about other things. Seeing her relax, he suddenly asked, "Aren't you curious about my relationship with Yi Ran?"

"What's so curious about this, don't you just—" Talk about it!Xiang Shang almost blurted out, but stopped in time, and turned his tone: "Friends! You...are just friends."

Ji Shui burst into laughter: "It seems that you know our relationship."

"I don't know." Xiang Shang hastily denied.

"Iran should have told you."

"She didn't say anything."

"Didn't you mention our relationship?"

"No!"

"Then how do you know we're friends?"

"You guys look alike!"

"Then how do you know we're not just friends?"

"You don't look like it!"

"Like what?"

"It's not like a friend..." Ah!Go around!

Well, it's getting darker and darker, and Xiang Shang is a little depressed. This doesn't fit her usual shrewd personality, and it's all because Ji Shui is too clever!

Ji Shui didn't go around anymore, and went straight to the point: "You know my father was shuanggui a few years ago, and then I left Yiran for five years. I wanted her to tell me how she lived these five years, but she Always avoid me, I don't want to force her, I have no choice but to ask you for help. I'm not a person who likes to talk about love, but I have to tell you, Xiang Shang, I love her. You are her best friend, I Want to know everything about her, especially her marriage. If her marriage is not satisfactory, I will try my best to drag her out, even if I am charged with destroying other people's families. But if her marriage is happy... I'm not a saint, I definitely can't do it to bless her, but if I know that she is really happy, I should leave her far away and stop disturbing her...it should be like this."

Ji Shui's words became lower and lower, and at the end she lowered her head slightly, and Xiang Shang noticed that her eye circles were a little red.

Her words were very sincere, and Xiang Shang was a little moved. She silently drank two sips of soup and asked, "Why haven't you contacted Yi Ran once in five years?"

"My mother found out about our relationship. She offered a five-year term. If I didn't have any contact with Yi Ran during this period, she would agree to my choice."

"Your mother knows? This kind of thing is known to her... Are you crazy?"

"It's not enough to be crazy, my mother has always tended to be rational. It's just that everything came together at that time, and she always wanted to save face and didn't want to complain to others, so she became a little depressed... Fortunately, it was not serious, and it will be fine later .”

Xiang Shang sighed: "How many mothers can accept that their children love the same sex? What's more, the husband and the child have accidents at the same time... If I were your mother, I'm afraid I would be depressed too. Then your mother agrees now?"

"Well, she didn't say she agreed, but she didn't object any more."

Xiang Shang patted his forehead and said, "Actually, I just found out about your relationship not long ago. Yi Ran told me about it after holding it back for five years. I think she must have cared about you very much in her heart, and she just left without saying goodbye. I'm so scared. In the days when you just left, she lived like a ghost, with insomnia all the time, and she worked hard, and she lost ten pounds in an instant. At that time, I didn't know your relationship, and I always thought she was I was sick or something happened at home, she didn’t tell me, and I couldn’t find out what happened. Later, I found out that it was because of you, and I also understood why she didn’t go home to work when she just graduated. You I know, she has always liked museums. His mother happened to be doing repairs at the Provincial Museum. She had already found a good relationship with her, but she refused. It turned out that she was waiting for you. She told me that day that she had been waiting for you wholeheartedly for three years. After three years, I really waited for despair, so I decided to forget you. In fact, waiting is not terrible. The terrible thing is that I have no idea, and you don’t have a phone call. She doesn’t know if you are alive or dead... Well, anyway, those years She suffered all day long and never had a good day."

Ji Shui's face turned pale. Thinking of Yi Ran's sufferings in those years, her heart felt as if she had been stabbed by a knife. She was silent for a long time, and said in a hoarse voice, "I'm the one who's sorry for her."

"You are a little sorry for her, although you also have your own difficulties. Of course, I look at it from Yiran's point of view." Seeing that Ji Shui really cared about Yiran from the bottom of his heart, Xiang Shang decided to betray Yiran completely. Ran Le: "But it's not impossible to make up for it. No matter who is sorry to whom, the past is past after all, and no matter how much you care about it, it won't help. Besides, it doesn't count if we outsiders say that we are sorry. I want to forget you, but I haven't seen her fall in love with anyone again. There are so many people chasing her, but she rejected them all. There is not even a flirtatious person around. Thinking about it now, she married Hu Xiaobing Eighty percent is also waiting for you."

Ji Shui was puzzled: "Why do you say that you are waiting for me to get married?"

"Because Hu Xiaobing is gay, they are married by sex."

"Really?" Ji Shui couldn't believe her ears, and asked again: "Physical marriage? Is it true?"

"It's more real than real gold! Nowadays, everyone is talking about whether it's worth it or not. When talking about marriage, you have to calculate whether it's worth it. In this era, material things are paramount, efficiency is paramount, and loyal love is more likely to be mocked." And doubt. In the face of feelings, those who don’t want to pay back and are willing to concentrate and wait patiently, think that only Yang Guo in the novel, or the "Birch Forest" sung in their mouths, are actually using their worldly hearts to defile pure love. Yes, I believe that there are people in this world who are willing to miss a love for the rest of their lives. At least, I believe Yi Ran is like this. As for you, Mr. Ji, I think you should be like this too," Xiang Shang hummed as he spoke. A few songs - she said he was just lost in the distance, he will definitely come, come to this birch forest.

Ji Shui also followed her tune and sang a few lines of "Birch Forest" silently in her heart, thinking that Yi Ran was like the stubborn girl in the song, and her heart ached again as if being torn apart.

She drank tea quietly for a while and said, "Can you tell me where she lives? I have been to the place where she registered with the unit, and it seems wrong. I have never seen her go in that community, has she moved?"

"You also went to her community to guard her?"

"Well, I wanted to see how she was doing, so I went there a few times secretly, but I didn't see her."

"Hey, she's also an infatuated type. Yi Ran registered Hu Xiaobing's address at her work unit, and she has lived alone since she got married."

Then Xiang Shang told her Yi Ran's address, and Ji Shui wrote it down carefully.The two chatted for another half an hour while eating, and after eating, they said goodbye to each other, and Ji Shui flew to Yi Ran's place afterward.

The community where Yiran lives is not too far from Shuwei, and it will be there in 10 minutes. Ji Shui glanced around the surrounding environment. The supporting facilities are still very good, and the greenery is also good, but it is not easy to park, or she came here It was not easy to park at this time, and she had already gone home from work, so there were naturally many cars, so it took her four or five minutes to find a parking space.

I took the elevator to the sixth floor, found 602, and pressed the doorbell nervously.

The door opened quickly, and Yi Ran was standing inside the door wearing a pale pink pajamas, looking at Ji Shui with a face full of surprise: "Why are you?"

"Yeah," Yi Ran should have just taken a shower, her hair is still not dry, the scent of shampoo and shower gel is mixed and wafting over, it smells very good.Ji Shui stared at her without blinking, and asked softly, "Would you like me to come in and sit?"

Yi Ran shook her head: "If you have anything to say, just talk about it here. If you come to apologize, you can skip it. After all, you can't make mistakes. A life without regrets is just a fairy tale."

"Then are you willing to spend the rest of our lives with me and write a fairy tale of our own?" Ji Shui still asked softly, "Are you sure you won't invite me in?"

"No need, you..."

Before Yi Ran could finish speaking, Ji Shui's two long legs had already stepped into the door consciously, and Yi Ran was angry: "Hey! Do I agree with you coming in?"

"Whether you agree or not, I will come in. Today, tomorrow, every day, I will come in." Ji Shui smiled charmingly, as always, capricious and domineering.
