fall in love again

Chapter 116 Sorry (Part Two)

Hearing the sound, Jiang Yu's nose turned sour, and mist filled his eye sockets, "Is it because of illness?"

Jiang Yu knew that Xu Ji's health was not good, and he also knew that he had been taking medicine. He suddenly heard that Xu Ji had passed away, so he naturally thought about his death due to illness.

Xu Jinhuan was silent, with an expression that seemed to answer this sentence, but only she knew the real reason in her heart.

Jiang Yu looked at her and blinked his eyes lightly twice. He didn't know what to say for a while, and after a long silence, he opened his mouth and said, "I'm sorry."

"I'm sorry, I..." Jiang Yu took a deep breath and said, "I shouldn't—"

Before she could finish her words, Chen Zhi's voice came from behind her.

Jiang Yu who was interrupted looked back at Chen Zhi who ran over suddenly.

Chen Zhi saw Xu Jinhuan and Jiang Yu standing together, and Jiang Yu's eyes were red again, so he subconsciously pulled Jiang Yu behind him.

Xu Jinhuan's original wrist also slipped from his palm in an instant.

She looked at Chen Zhi who was standing beside Jiang Yu.

Jiang Yu seemed to be aware of Chen Zhi's next move, so he stopped him in advance, and said, "She is my friend."

Chen Zhi said "Huh?"

Jiang Yu raised her head and said seriously: "She is my very good friend."

Chen Zhi frowned slightly, and looked at Xu Jinhuan in disbelief.

Jiang Yu held his hand a little tighter, and said anxiously, "Really."

Seeing this, Chen Zhi calmed down a little.

"I have something to discuss with Jinhuan." Jiang Yu opened his mouth to discuss with Chen Zhi in a friendly voice.

Chen Zhi said "hmm", pointed to the arched bridge not far away and said, "I'll wait for you on it."

Jiang Yu said "hmm" and said, "We'll go find you in a while."

Chen Zhi nodded, turned and left.

After leaving, Chen Zhi had been standing on the arched bridge and watching the two of them. Because the distance was too far, he couldn't hear the two of them talking, and could only vaguely look at their figures.

Jiang Yu, who was interrupted just now, subconsciously explained a few sentences for Chen Zhi: "He just cares about me too much, so he looks a bit fierce."

Xu Jinhuan raised his eyes to look at Chen Zhi who was standing in the distance, then quickly looked away and said, "I know."

She knows everything about Jiang Yu at school, she knows what she experienced in her first year of high school, and she also knows that Chen Zhi has been protecting her.

"I'm sorry." Jiang Yu repeated these three words again, and then said, "I should be the one apologizing to you, not you asking me to forgive you."

"I think I'm very strange." Jiang Yu lowered her eyes, because when she heard the news of Xu Ji's sudden death, her mind suddenly became a little confused, and she was silent for a long time before continuing: "I thought you would leave Luomu Village. I used to think that you left Luomu Village to go to the city to see a doctor with your uncle. I thought about other possibilities, and I also thought that there are always differences between friends, so I have been doing psychological construction for myself, but when you really leave, I still have the feeling of being abandoned by my only friend."

Xu Jinhuan and his family suddenly moved from the city to Luomu Village when Jiang Yu was five years old. Many things happened in the village that year. For example, the old scavengers in the village were taken away as murderers...

Everyone in the village said that Xu Ji had a good relationship with the old scavenger and stayed in the village to find evidence for the old scavenger.

On the day Xu Ji left, people in the village said that Xu Ji had gone to the city to reverse the case for the old man who scavenged waste. In a few days, the old man should be able to come back.

But when he heard that Xu Ji and his family had moved out, Jiang Yu felt inexplicably unhappy.

It always feels like they will never come back once they leave.

Xu Jinhuan's sudden departure made her very uncomfortable, and she suddenly felt a feeling of being abandoned again. She didn't like this feeling of being abandoned at all.

In fact, she also knew that Xu Jinhuan was at school, and she also knew that she wanted to come up to say hello to her many times, and wanted to come up to care about her, but she was interrupted by her avoiding eyes.

Xu Jinhuan left Jiang Yu when she thought everything was going in a good direction, and now she suddenly broke into her sight when she thought everything was going in a good direction, so she was a little flustered.

Even if they were good friends during that time, but they haven't been in touch for many years, they will always feel a little strange, and they will be cautious when communicating.

No one knows what the other party has experienced and what changes have taken place during the years of separation.

Even if we meet again, so what, people can always find various reasons to leave each other.

"I know everything, I know your problem." Although Xu Jinhuan and Jiang Yu have been separated for a few years, they know each other a lot: "The reason why we left Luomu Village is indeed to see a doctor. But there's another reason too..."

"What?" Jiang Yu looked up at her.

Is it because of the old man who scavenged?
Jiang Yu thought silently in her heart.

Not long after Xu Ji left, the bones of the old man were also sent back to the village and buried in the cemetery.

He has no relatives, so no one worships him.

Every time during the Qingming Festival, flowers are placed in front of other tombs, but his tomb is bare with nothing.

On the contrary, there was a little change during the tomb-sweeping this year. There were some more fruits in front of his tomb.

Just don't know who put it up.

Could it be Xu Jinhuan?

Jiang Yu wanted to ask a question.

Xu Jinhuan looked around sideways and confirmed that there was no one else nearby except Chen Zhi who was standing on the bridge. Then he leaned into Jiang Yu's ear and whispered the reason to her.

Jiang Yu covered her mouth in shock, she said "I—" and before she could say anything, Xu Jinhuan raised an index finger in front of her lips to signal her to silence.

Xu Jinhuan looked down at the time on his wrist: "I'll wait for you this Saturday."

Jiang Yu nodded.

Xu Jinhuan turned his head and saw Chen Zhi who was still standing on the bridge. He gave a quick laugh and urged Jiang Yu, "Hurry over."

Jiang Yu glanced back at him, then said "goodbye" to Xu Jinhuan, turned around and walked a few steps, suddenly remembered something, then looked back at Xu Jinhuan behind him and said, "I still have your contact information , I can see all the messages you send..."

But she never replied.

As she spoke, she lowered her head again, and all explanations were replaced by "I'm sorry".

She said sorry to her a lot today, and she seems to be apologizing often.

Xu Jinhuan waved at Jiang Yu, then turned and left the playground.

Jiang Yu stared at her back for a while, then ran to Chen Zhi's side.

Chen Zhi grabbed her hand and asked her, "Why haven't you mentioned it before?"

Jiang Yu looked up at him, and instead of answering his question, he asked, "Do you think I'm weird?"

Chen Zhi, who was suddenly interrupted from the topic, let out a "huh?", and after a while of reaction, he asked her, "Why do you ask that?"

Jiang Yu shook his head and said, "It's nothing, I just feel weird."

Chen Zhi held her hand tightly and said, "It's nothing strange, just be yourself."

Jiang Yu smiled and said "Yes", then raised her head and asked him, "Will you leave me?"

Chen Zhi was caught off guard by Jiang Yu's sudden soul question, but he still replied two words "no" without hesitation.

Jiang Yu shook his head and said, "I don't believe it."

"Am I not sincere enough?" Chen Zhi felt that his reaction just now was not bad.

"It's very sincere."

"Then why don't you believe it?"

"Because..." Jiang Yu, who originally looked back, looked up at Chen Zhi who was beside him again and said, "Because of birth, old age, sickness and death."

"..."

Chen Zhi admitted that, in fact, he couldn't keep up with Jiang Yu's brain circuit at all.

"Actually, I think you are quite strange." Chen Zhi said suddenly.

Jiang Yu looked up at him, with a trace of disappointment in his eyes.

Chen Zhi saw the glint in her eyes.

"What do you think is strange about me?" Jiang Yu raised her eyes and asked him.

Chen Zhi said: "The question asked is very strange."

"..."

Jiang Yu pursed her lips and did not refute what he said.

After all, the question she asked was really strange.

"What did you guys talk about just now, so mysteriously?" Chen Zhi asked her with his head tilted.

"Secret." It was a secret between her and Xu Jinhuan, she couldn't tell anyone, but she still told Chen Zhi: "I'm going out with her on Saturday."

"Is this putting more emphasis on friends than sex?" Chen Zhi tilted his head towards Jiang Yu when he heard this, "Huh?" He said in a low tone, obviously jealous: "Don't want me?"

Jiang Yu: "?"

Jiang Yu: "..."

Jiang Yu was really convinced by Chen Zhi's jealousy.

"I'll go to her house with her on Saturday to see Aunt He." Jiang Yu explained, "Aunt He is her mother. She took good care of me when I was young, and..."

Jiang Yu suddenly paused for two seconds when she said this, and then continued after a while: "And I also want to see her."

"Oh." Chen Zhi is not the kind of person who would compete with his elders, he reached out and rubbed the hair on the top of Jiang Yu's head and said, "I'll pick you up at night."

Jiang Yu let out a "hmm", then glanced down at the time on the wrist watch, "There are still 10 minutes until the evening self-study."

She looked up at Chen Zhi, pulled off his hand on her head, held it, and ran towards the teaching building.

...

"Did you reconcile at that time?" Chen Zhi suddenly thought of what happened on the day of the sports meeting, so he opened his mouth and asked Xu Jinhuan.

Xu Jinhuan said with an "um" and said, "Yes."

Chen Zhi smiled bitterly, and was about to ask something more, when the sound of footsteps coming down the stairs suddenly came from behind him.

Chen Zhi who heard the voice subconsciously turned his head to look at the place where the voice came from.

I saw Jiang Yu walking down slowly in black pajamas, her hair was loosely scattered on both sides, her eyes were red, she must have been secretly hiding under the covers and crying for a while.

She came down, dejected.

Seeing Jiang Yu coming down the stairs, Chen Zhi subconsciously hung up Xu Jinhuan's call.

He looked back at Jiang Yu who was standing by the stairs.

Jiang Yu's five fingers landed tightly on the handrail of the stairs, his fingertips turned white.

She raised her eyes to meet Chen Zhi's, pursed her lips vigorously, and said to Chen Zhi after struggling for a long time, "I'm sorry."
