Play coquettish with Joe

Chapter 5053 life should be like this (5)

Xiao Zi stopped him: "Sir, wait for me, I'll go home and get my wallet, and I'll return the money to you."

Meng Chen looked at her silently, with a calm light in his eyes, mixed with some unclear emotions, her address made him uncomfortable.

This was also the first time in so many years that she took the initiative to talk to him, and she opened her mouth as "Sir". How would he adapt to it?
In a blink of an eye, so much has passed.

"No need." Meng Chen opened his mouth, his voice was low and hoarse, and his emotions no longer had the previous turmoil and ups and downs, "It's not much money, so don't pay me back."

"I don't like to be owed, wait for me, I will drive back now, you will wait for me here."

After finishing speaking, Xiao Zi turned her head and left, her gaze didn't even stay on Meng Chen for half a minute.

And Meng Chen is more like a tree that has stood for many years, standing silently, without any waves after the wind and frost.

Perhaps, he has also passed the age of youth and madness.

It wasn't until Xiao Zi's figure disappeared in front of his eyes that he walked to a secluded corner and waited for her.

He will wait, not because of money, but because he will not be a broken person again.

To her, he did and missed many things, one of which was breaking his promise.

None of his promises to her were fulfilled.

Just like when he left the training ground back then, he said he would go back, but he didn't. She had been waiting for him, but all she was waiting for was endless confusion.

The years have turned into peace.

They have completely become independent and ordinary individuals, as if there is no intersection.

The moment she saw him just now, she didn't even show too much surprise and shock, and she didn't even ask a question about him, such as how he escaped from the sea and where he spent this time For a while, where do you live now?

She didn't ask anything.

Because... she no longer cared about him.

How much you cared when you were young, how much you don't care now.

That kind of care and expectation is worn away by time and disappointment little by little, just like a bright pearl that has been eroded over the years and is slowly fading its bright and bright appearance.

She didn't even want to call him "Brother Meng" again.

He and her... have been separated, and it is not others but himself who draws the boundary.

He is the least qualified to complain.

For example, at this moment, if she didn't come, he might feel better, but he knew that she would definitely come to the supermarket again and return the money to him.

That's it.

About 10 minutes later, the sky in London darkened again, and there was a drizzle of light rain falling.

The sky was dark, and the crowds on the streets held up umbrellas one after another.

There are people coming and going at the entrance of the supermarket.

About 10 minutes later, Xiao Zi came back again.

She took out the banknotes from her wallet, far more than what he paid her: "Thank you, I kept you waiting for a long time, I don't know if I have delayed your time."

Meng Chen pursed the corners of his lips: "My time is not that valuable."

"Time is a precious thing and should be cherished." Xiao Zi's tone was very quiet, and there was no emotion on her face, as if everything had finally calmed down after the years had passed.

Big winds and waves, ups and downs, all return to peace in time.

So, she felt that time was not only a precious thing, but also a benevolent thing, which could wash away everything that was once considered so important.

After the tide receded, she realized that...it wasn't that important.
