“Jiang Ci”, Lu Xingxue stood outside the door carrying the fruit plate, “Do you want to eat fruit? “

Jiang Ci in the piano room said “En” without raising her head. When Lu Xingxue approached, she temporarily changed her mind: “Let’s wait a while, wait for me to finish.”

The removed piano board was spread on the carpet, Jiang Ci, with her back facing Lu Xingxue, sat on the piano bench and played a single tone repeatedly, correcting the tension of the strings while listening.

Lu Xingxue did not make any further interruptions, Jiang Ci adjusted a string, and holding the toothpick, she said again: “The apples are cut into pieces, and they will brown after a long time. Would you like to eat a little first?”

In the fruit plate, one end of the fruit stick plunged into the pulp, and a small three-dimensional love heart stood on the end.

Lu Xingxue pinched the heart and brought the apple cube to Jiang Ci’s mouth.

“It’s better to be young, when love is sticky like honey.” Ms. Xing passed by outside the piano room, talking and laughing.

Jiang Ci was embarrassed, but Lu Xingxue looked as usual, unaffected by these words.

There is no reason to lose to Lu Xingxue. Jiang Ci opened her mouth, and bit off the apple on the sign.

Her thin eyelids drooped, her left cheek was bulging with an apple, Lu Xingxue looked at this Jiang Ci and smoothly curled her lips.

-

After finishing all the calibration of Professor Xing’s piano, it was close to midnight. Jiang Ci packed up his tools and left the piano room. In the living room, Professor Xing was inviting Lu Xingxue to his concert.

“Just this month, on the 16th, if you have time, Xiao-Lu, you must come. I will save you a good seat in the front row.”

“The 16th?” Lu Xingxue repeated it.

Professor Xing made a “7” gesture: “7:30 in the evening on the 16th.”

Jiang Ci walked towards them and heard Lu Xingxue say: “At this time, maybe…”

Professor Xing saw that it was inconvenient: “You can come when you have time, I will save the seat for you…. Oh Xiao Jiang, thank you for your hard work, I will have this point! I won’t keep you, you will bring Xiao-Lu someday Come here and listen to my craft together.”

Everyone didn’t mention the concert anymore. Before leaving, Jiang Ci told Professor Xing: “You should rest more, take medicine on time and take care of your body. See you at the rehearsal.”

On the way back, the two of them didn’t speak at first. But Lu Xingxue kindly stayed with her until so late. Jiang Ci thought about what she had to say, so she took the initiative to chat with her: “Isn’t it boring to wait for me to finish work?”

Lu Xingxue: “No, Professor Xing and Ms. Xing are very funny.”

Jiang Ci: “Oh.”

After looking at the street scene for a while, Jiang Ci asked, “Are you sleepy?”

Lu Xingxue: “Not sleepy. How about you? Are you tired?”

Jiang Ci was tired and sleepy, but said, “Not sleepy either.”

The turn signal jumped red, Lu Xingxue stepped on the brake and turned to look at her. Jiang Ci yawned, and Lu Xingxue: “…”

Jiang Ci: “……”

Lu Xingxue laughed and said: “You are always so duplicity?”

Jiang Ci: “Really?”

Lu Xingxue laughed lowly, magnetically and charmingly, her voice filled Jiang Ci’s ears. Jiang Ci covered the left ear that was near Lu Xingxue by wiping her hair.

hot.

After returning home, the two of them said good night outside the room and they separated. Jiang Ci went into the room to wash, and fell asleep when she touched the pillow.

She slept through the early morning and woke up without warning. After rolling around with the quilt, Jiang Ci went down to the ground, rummaged through the cabinet, and finally found the marriage certificate of himself and Lu Xingxue from the bottom of the cabinet.

The two people on the marriage certificate laughed very businessly. Jiang Ci still remembered that when the photo was taken, Lu Xingxue reached out and shook her, as if they were not taking wedding photos, but just finished talking about some project.

…… Signed a marriage contract, this is indeed a kind of project.

Jiang Ci looked down and saw Lu Xingxue’s birth date: October 16.

It is no wonder that this date is inexplicably familiar, and it is no wonder that Lu Xingxue did not agree to Professor Xing to listen to his concert.

It happened to be her 30th birthday that day.

Jiang Ci returned the marriage certificate, it is 6:05 in the morning. She sent a message to Mr. Qian and asked him to have dinner with his wife.

Mr. Qian lives a regular life, goes to bed early and wakes up early, and he returned a message after a while.

Jiang Ci leaned back on the bed, fell asleep again soon, and it was past noon when she woke up again. Lu Xingxue had already left, and the dark clouds outside the window were over the city. The weather forecast showed heavy rain in the afternoon, so Jiang Ci took an umbrella and carried it with her.

Walking down the street, Jiang Ci opened the umbrella on a whim and looked up at the umbrella rib. Naturally, there were no surprises on it.

She is not Mrs. Qian, and she doesn’t have a “Mr. Qian” who will try to surprise her.

Jiang Ci put away the umbrella, found a tea restaurant at random among the many shops, and after filling her stomach, she went to the company to hold a monthly meeting.

The heavy rain is coming violently as expected by the weather forecast. Coming with the rain, there is also the message of Lu Xingxue.

[Lu : It’s raining, did you bring an umbrella? 】

Jiang Ci responded to her briefly with the word “Yes”.

After half a minute, Jiang Ci looked at the screen, and there was no information from Lu Xingxue.

Ten minutes later, Jiang Ci looked at it again, and there was still no unread message on the screen.

?

is really just asking if you bring an umbrella?

-what if she said she didn’t bring an umbrella just now?

Jiang Ci put the phone in his pocket.

At the end of the meeting, the directors left the meeting one after another, and the person in charge of the personnel department sitting next to Jiang Ci slid up on the seat: “How did you meet President Lu of ‘Forest’?”

She was born with a big voice, You Lu rolled her eyes at them with a stinky face, pushed her chair away and walked out.

Among those who did not leave, many knew the whole story. Some people covered their mouths and snickered: “So, it’s not a bad thing to be kind, or who knows that one day she would lift a rock and hit him in the foot.”

“Director Jiang, you are low-key enough, Mrs. ‘Forest’ President, my goodness, what is this concept!?”

Jiang Ci smiled and went over confusedly.

Leaving the meeting room, the phone that had been stationary for a long time finally heard movement again. Jiang Ci immediately went to see who it was, but it was Huo Zhenzhen’s call.

Huo Zhenzhen asked her: “Are you busy?”

Jiang Ci pressed the elevator down: “Just finished the meeting.”

Huo Zhenzhen: “Guess, who is in my store now?”

Jiang Ci looked at the beeping floor numbers: “…who?”

Huo Zhenzhen said Jiang Ci’s unexpected name: “Wen Nian.”

Huo Zhenzhen: “I went out to smoke a cigarette, and she was looking in the catalogue in, and it has been almost a whole afternoon without a decision.”

Jiang Ci: “Don’t give her a pattern.”

Huo Zhenzhen: “Huh?”

Jiang Ci: “She is pregnant.”

Huo Zhenzhen: “…Fuck!”

Leaving the company, the rain is already low, Jiang Ci took a taxi to Huo Zhenzhen’s tattoo shop. The rain accumulated on the street. When Jiang Ci stepped into the puddle when he got out of the car, the whole shoe was wet.

She took a breath.

Wen Nian sat in the shop and flipped through the picture album. Huo Zhenzhen hadreplaced the original coffee with juice.

Huo Zhenzhen rushed to Jiang Ci, Jiang Ci walked to Wen Nian’s side, Wen Nian who heard the footsteps raised her head, saw Jiang Ci, immediately smiled: “Ah-Ci, it is really not easy to see you.”

Like Jiang Ci guessed, Wen Nian deliberately used the tattoo shop to go around to see her.

“Is the company busy?” Jiang Ci sat down casually.

Wen Nian closed the album: “I want to chat with you.”

Jiang Ci’s eyes swayed: “What are you talking about?”

Wen Nian didn’t circumspect circumstance, and said directly: “Ah-Ci, don’t you think there is a problem between us? These years have become more and more alienated. When I asked you out, you never agreed directly. Countless times, I didn’t dare. Speak, I don’t want to embarrass you, I don’t want to embarrass you to find all kinds of reasons to reject me…. Today we are going to talk about the problem, and we solve the problem, okay?”

Jiang Ci was silent for a while, and said, “I have my job and family, and you also have yours. It is no longer the time to live in the opposite door and go to school together every day. The focus of life has changed, and the people and things I have to deal with have also changed. Now, do you call this the “problem” between us?”

Of course not for this reason. The relationship between Jiang Ci and Huo Zhenzhen remains the same as before, only they have changed. Wen Nian understood, and his eyes were sad: “Ah-Ci, I have often dreamed of you recently. It’s all things from the past. After waking up, I will think that Jiang Ci, who used to be so attached to me, doesn’t need me anymore.”

These words were so sad that Wen Nian wanted to continue, but suddenly she gagged a few times.

Jiang Ci said nervously: “What’s the matter with you?”

Wen Nian covered her mouth and walked quickly to the bathroom.

The curtain outside the bathroom was shaking, and the past with Wen Nian was also replayed in Jiang Ci’s mind.

It was she who made this relationship worse. Wen Nian just doesn’t love her, it’s not Wen Nian’s fault. She has been evading Wen Nian and unilaterally cut off the relationship between the two. She only thought of herself selfishly, but never considered Wen Nian’s feelings in this relationship.

Wen Nian treats her as a younger sister, as a relative, and has taken good care of her since childhood.

……

Wen Nian came out of the bathroom, her face pale and her eyes red.

Jiang Ci poured her warm water, and Wen Nian sipped it to relieve the discomfort: “I’m fine, it’s just morning sickness.”

Jiang Ci: “How long do you have to vomit?”

Wen Nian: “Maybe three or four months, not necessarily…. I tossed before I was born, I don’t know if my child will behave in the future.”

Jiang Ci: “Of course your child will be good.”

She suddenly stopped, Wen Nian noticed her hesitation and waited patiently for her to speak.

Jiang Ci made up his mind: “To me, you have always been a very important person. This has never changed.”

Wennian: “Yeah.”

Jiang Ci: “…I have something that I didn’t do well, and I will change it in the future.”

Wen Nian’s body gradually leaned over. She put down the cup and didn’t ask for the details: “Ah-Ci, if you admit your mistake, can I punish you?”

Jiang Ci: “yeah.”

Wen Nian: “I will punish you to accompany me today, eat together, go shopping, and have an evening tea… I have a lot to say to you.”

“Today”, Jiang Ci’s face was embarrassed, “It may not work today…”

Wennian patted the back of her hand: “So you’re playing with me again?”

Jiang Ci said: “No! … I have an appointment tonight, next time, next time you set the time, I will listen to you.”

Huo Zhenzhen watched their interaction from a distance, and shook her head. Later Jiang Ci and Wen Nian were leaving, so she went downstairs with them.

Sending away Wen Nian, Huo Zhenzhen slapped both hands into his pockets: “I finally understand, this person who doesn’t go to the Three Treasures Hall, she came to my store to catch you? Tell me, what’s the matter with you? ……Why do I look like I am going to have a double-married cheating?”

“…” Jiang Ci said silently: “What’s in your mind?”

Huo Zhenzhen: “I’m not worried about you and Lu Xingxue, I’m afraid that you will be harmed by the resurgence of your old feelings to her. You think, Wen Nian must have a liking for you. You have been dating, and she will not be with you day and night. Your heart beats, and you can’t keep your distance now and like it instead, right?”

The more Jiang Ci listened, the more she couldn’t agree with him: “According to you, there is no longer a long-term love in this world?”

Huo Zhenzhen: “Which ‘day’ do you mean?”

Jiang Ci: “……”

Huo Zhenzhen took Jiang Ci’s shoulders: “Seriously, A Ci, Lu Xingxue suits you well, definitely not because Wen Nian has abused you for so many years and I have prejudice against her.”

Jiang Ci was hugged by her, Yu Guang glanced at her: “How many times have you seen Lu Xingxue, how do you know what’s appropriate?”

Huo Zhenzhen: “I have seen her a few times, and I don’t know her, but I know you. You, look calm and independent on the surface, but in fact it is strong outside, and the most vulnerable. Neither you nor Lu Xingxue left. My heart is not emotionally related, so it doesn’t hurt.”

Jiang Ci: “…………”

Jiang Ci: “You are really my good friend.”

Huo Zhenzhen: “I deserve it?”

Jiang Ci was completely speechless.

She and Huo Zhenzhen separated, but there is still some time before the agreed dinner. Jiang Ci bought a pair of new shoes and threw the rain-soaked old shoes into the trash can, feeling relieved.

Wet shoes are uncomfortable to wear on your feet, just change a pair.

Jiang Ci went to the restaurant to wait for Mr. Qian and Mrs. Qian, who knew that they had already arrived.

Jiang Ci quickly said: “I’m sorry, but I asked you to have dinner but made you wait for a long time.”

Mrs. Qian: “Where, we have nothing to do, it’s early.”

Mr. Qian shook his fingers: “You, you, Director Jiang, your meal is not good.”

Jiang Ci understood his overtones: “Why, Mr. Qian? Since you are willing to come to eat this meal, doesn’t it mean that you are willing to give me this face?”

Mr. Qian and Mrs. Qian looked at each other and laughed.

There was a lot of nuance in this chap that I didn’t really understand….

Thanks to my ko-fi-ers!
