wasting time with you

Chapter 22 I finally lost you (2)
"I'm Xijing, but I also like to listen to you." Xi Shuoliang held her a little higher, put one arm around her waist, raised her face with his right hand, his eyes were focused and eager, "Yi Ruo, I'm sorry. "For the indifference of the past, for the powerlessness at the moment of danger.

In the past, An Yiruo must have been moved to tears.Because in this apology, there is love for her.But now, An Yiruo lowered his eyes: "What are you sorry for? The police have been taking care of such a dangerous thing for several years. It's not something ordinary citizens like us can do."

Xi Shuoliang caressed her cheek with his fingertips, then bowed his head and kissed her, "Yiruo, I love you!"

An Yiruo had already forgotten how long he hadn't said these three words.She thought that as long as they were together, even if he didn't say anything for the rest of his life, she wouldn't care about it.But it was later discovered that she cared a lot.It's just that I won't pester him anymore like before.

Like people, love loses a lot of happiness when it grows up.

There is a deviation from the expectation in my heart.

But the one in front of him was obviously the man he had been obsessed with for six years.

His love is her wish, why suddenly——

An Yiruo couldn't say "I love you" anymore, but only replied: "I know."

Mu Yan was away from the hospital half of the time.Regardless of the unhealed gunshot wound, he has been assisting his sister to sue the Public Security Bureau to handle the kidnapping case.It wasn't until An Yiruo was about to return to City A under the arrangement of the police that he finally knocked on the door of her ward.

Unfortunately, An Yiruo fell asleep.

Seeing that it was him, Xi Shuoliang made a silent movement and quietly left the ward.

Since Xi Shuoliang came, Mu Yan had never seen An Yiruo.Before she left, Mu Yan really wanted to ask if her hand injury and whiplash had improved?And how is she feeling?But in the end he held back.

An Yiruo didn't want to inquire about An Yiruo's news from Xi Shuoliang.Facing it at this moment, he put his hands in his trouser pockets and looked calmly: "Everything has been arranged, and there will be a special plane to take you back tomorrow."

Xi Shuoliang asked back: "What about you? Won't you go back with us?"

"There are still some things to deal with here, you can take her back first." If Xi Shuoliang didn't come, he might be reluctant to let An Yiruo go first, but it's already like this, there's no point in staying another day.Besides, the Fang team said that An Yiruo was not used to the food here, so Mu Yan decided to send them away first.

"Your injury is not serious, you should be hospitalized and rested, no matter how important things are, don't rush them at once." As for An Yi being able to escape safely, Xi Shuoliang could not ignore Mu Yan's contribution, and his concern at this time was genuine, "You are alone It’s not good to stay, there is no one around to take care of it, which is not conducive to the recovery of the wound.”

Mu Yan was unmoved: "There's nothing wrong with it. Staying here is just to help deal with the follow-up matters. Unlike going out on a mission, you won't get hurt, and you can go back in a week. You go first."

Xi Shuoliang wanted to say something more, but Mu Yan snapped back and said, "It's all been arranged, so let's leave it at that."

In the morning of the next day, Xi Shuoliang took An Yiruo and left Jiegao until he had to get on the plane, but Mu Yan didn't show up either.

She has been delaying the time to get on the plane, Xi Shuoliang intuitively thinks that it has something to do with Mu Yan, but he didn't say anything.

Finally, An Yiruo couldn't hold back, and asked Team Fang: "Mu, where is Team Mu?"

Team Fang replied: "The pastoral team sent Xiao Ran up the mountain today."

"Up the mountain?" An Yiruo reacted: "Xiao Ran, she—"

Fang team nodded: "She is dead."

No wonder he didn't come.An Yiruo said goodbye to the team and boarded the plane.

Xi Shuoliang vaguely understood something.

He doesn't want to, it's true.

It was a month after Mu Yan assisted the Yunnan police in handling the case and returned to City A.

And An Yiruo's wedding was put on the agenda.

Mu Yan couldn't help thinking: The unexpected encounter with An Yiruo was just to enrich the scenery on the road of life.After all, they are just each other's passers-by.He even began to suspect that nothing could last forever except the years.

During the one month of separation, Mu Yan stayed quietly in that small town on the China-Myanmar border, trying to settle everything with Xiao Ran within a month.He didn't call An Yiruo, or even send a message.But in fact, there are a lot of information in the draft box of his mobile phone, such as, "How are you? Is your hand injury better?" For example, "My injury is much better, don't worry." For example, "Yi Ruo, actually I kissed you that night you--"

There are many messages like this, but none of them are sent out.

Mu Yan was deeply afraid and disturbed An Yiruo's happiness.

She is happy, even if it is not given by him, as long as it is what she wants, Mu Yan is willing to bless her.

But it's too difficult to hold back the sadness and go to bless.

In the end, he couldn't control himself and drove the car downstairs to An Yiruo's house, Mu Yan thought, it's better to give blessings in person, and stop thinking about it.However, when he saw Xi Shuoliang walking with her from a distance, holding a bag that fit well for a hundred years, Mu Yan found that the sentence "Congratulations" was really hard to say.

Even though everything seemed to be a foregone conclusion, Mu Yan still couldn't help thinking: If the contact hadn't been broken for a month, would the ending be different?

I can only think about it.

The man with extremely self-discipline clenched his fists, and his frowning showed his sense of loss and helplessness.

After all, it is going to be missed.

But Mu Yan didn't know that someone persisted for him for a month.The wedding date was only promised on the day he came back.

How long can you wait for someone?

If it were the former An Yiruo, she would firmly answer: "Forever."

For Xi Shuoliang, she used to be that decisive.But now, An Yiruo didn't have the courage to say the same thing to Mu Yan.Because she has no position.He never expressed it, and she didn't even understand the meaning of that kiss in the dungeon.An Yiruo didn't know what happened between Mu Yan and Xiao Ran, but Xiao Ran's love for him was obvious.

Such a woman who treats him affectionately is a man, so he will never forget it.

Nothing to do with oneself.

An Yiruo warned himself: Don't think too much.

Only Xi Shuoliang thought too much.He sensitively discovered that An Yiruo had become much quieter since he was kidnapped, and he didn't care about him as much as before.He began to feel uneasy, he wanted An Yiruo to be his wife, and this life would be his own, so as to maintain their love, so he proposed to get married as soon as possible.

He had already proposed marriage, and An Yiruo agreed, so organizing the wedding was a matter of course.

Of course An's parents would not object.

Only An Yiruo asked, "Is it too hasty?"

Was her hesitation due to time?The answer in Xi Shuoliang's heart is no.But he didn't show it on his face, and only promised: "Leave it all to me. You just need to rest at ease and get ready to be a bride. I promise you won't feel wronged."

With his father's gratifying smile and his mother's reddish eyes, An Yiruo couldn't say no.She used to persist desperately, and gave in again and again, which made her feel that it would be ironic to say "no" now.Feeling defeated in front of reason, An Yiruo could only say: "Shuo Liang, go back and ask Uncle what he means, after all, we are scheduled to get married next month, and time is too tight."

It can only be this way.

What I have been looking forward to for a long time, but when the dust settles, there is no joy, only helplessness.

An Yiruo hated himself like this.

Compared to her depressed mood, Mi Yu also had her own loss. When she heard about An Yiruo's marriage, she suddenly felt sad and reluctant to part with a young girl in my family.Seeing Xi Shuoliang again, she unceremoniously punched Xi Shuoliang on the shoulder, and "warned" with a solemn expression: "An Yiruo is the best woman I have ever seen, and you are lucky to marry her. Xi Shuoliang, you have to treat her well." She, if you break her heart, I will be the first to spare you."

An Yiruo was moved by her, and choked up: "I'm single, so you still worry about me. Take care, let's have a good blind date."

Mi Yu retorted without showing weakness: "The men I've been on a blind date with are crazy, how can I take it seriously?"

An Yiruo burst into tears and laughed: "Why don't you say that you are a wonderful flower?"

The matter was settled in this way, and the wedding was arranged by Xi Shuoliang.Father An kept a low profile and didn't like extravagance, so he told Xi Shuoliang: "Marriage is a matter between two families, so discuss it with your father. Our family has no requirements."

An Yiruo was grateful for his parents' understanding.

Xi Shuoliang is determined to do something big, but, "My father has been in the country and is used to the quiet. After he comes, we will discuss the details with him. Etiquette and customs cannot be avoided."

Xi Shuoliang seldom talked about family affairs. An Yiruo only knew that he was brought up by his father, so he said, "When the time comes, I will go pick up uncle with you, and then we can see what he thinks before making a decision." The family backgrounds are different, and she doesn't want to cause misunderstandings and conflicts between the two families because of the wedding.For the sake of success, she is willing to accommodate.

However, things went much worse than she expected.

That day, An Yiruo and Xi Shuoliang went to the train station to pick up Mr. Xi.The old man was dressed plainly, but his spirit was bright, and when he saw a well-dressed daughter-in-law, his smile was kind.When the Anxi family sits down for dinner, conflicts inevitably come to light.

The An family's elders were taken to the hotel by the driver.After getting out of the car, An's mother's face darkened.Noticing his wife's expression, Father An immediately comforted him: "The environment is a bit rough, but there is nothing to pay attention to such external things, what do you think?"

An Yiruo understood her mother's thoughts, and smiled flatteringly: "I chose the place, I'm afraid Uncle Xi won't get used to it. It's important to meet the in-laws. The two families meet formally."

"Forget it, it's just a meal." Why don't you understand that she is speaking for Xi Shuoliang again, An's mother doesn't care anymore.

At this time, Xi Shuoliang greeted him and brought his father-in-law-to-be into the private room.

The choice of the restaurant accommodated the frugal Mr. Xi, which made An's mother quite critical, but in order not to embarrass her daughter, An's parents did not show it. Instead, they were very kind and warm to Mr. Xi.Until the old man Xi asked where father An worked, Xi Shuoliang's expression changed slightly and he changed the topic.

An Yiruo kept his expression on the face, but there was some taste in his heart.Later, the topic inevitably turned to the details of the wedding, and the contradiction could no longer be concealed.Even though Xi Shuoliang and An Yiruo tried their best to reconcile, they still couldn't reach an agreement in the end.

Broke up unhappily.

Back home, Father An was so angry that he paced back and forth in the living room, pointed at An Yiruo and scolded, "What's going on? Since Xi Shuoliang decided to marry you, why did he hide my identity from his father? I am the mayor, It’s serving the people, how could it affect my daughter’s marriage? Can he keep it from his father for the rest of his life?”

Thinking of his parents' forbearance during the dinner, An Yiruo was speechless.Mother An felt sorry for her daughter, and stopped her husband with her eyes, "Okay, Yi Ruo has been busy all day, what do you have to say tonight? Yi Ruo, go and rest."

It was the first time An Yiruo said to his parents, "I'm sorry." He wanted to call Xi Shuoliang to find out what was going on, but he was worried that the situation was the same with him, so he held back.

In the early morning of the next day, Xi Shuoliang came to An's house and took the initiative to talk to An's father in the study.When he came out again, Father An's complexion improved a lot.Seeing that he was not in good spirits, An Yiruo couldn't help worrying, "Did you not sleep last night? Why don't you drive."

Xi Shuoliang smiled, and hugged her, "I'm afraid you will be angry and won't be able to sleep."

"It's a small matter for me to be angry, as long as my parents are happy." An Yiruo withdrew from his embrace, "Didn't you tell your uncle about my family situation before?" Even she began to wonder why a good family background seems to be a crime Similarly, it is necessary to conceal the future father-in-law.

Xi Shuoliang frowned, and said lightly: "I can't tell you clearly on the phone, I want to tell him in person when he comes."

An Yiruo wanted to say: No matter what her family background is, she is not a spoiled and willful person.But when she thought about the back of Mr. Xi who left angrily yesterday, she couldn't bear the embarrassment of Xi Shuoliang being caught in the middle, so she didn't say anything more.

In the afternoon, Miyu came to An's house, and the two of them nestled in An Yiruo's bedroom and chatted.

Mi Yu tilted her head and looked at the unhappy bride-to-be, wondering: "Why do I think it's strange for you to come back this time, are you still afraid?"

For the first time in her life, she concealed something from her best friend: "A little bit, I can't sleep well at night." She said, clumsily undoing the gauze on her hand with one hand.

"The itch is almost gone, bear with it." Mi Yu took her hand: "It's all in the past, I forgot about that perverted drug lord earlier. Hey, you met him once in Paris." Does Xi Shuoliang know about it?"

An Yiruo shook his head: "I didn't say that in detail."

In Mi Yu's heart, Xi Shuoliang is a narrow-minded man, and she is used to carelessness, so she didn't think there was anything wrong, "Tan Ziyue said that your savior has returned, why don't you call to express condolences?"

An Yiruo looked sad: "Shuo Liang said that he will send the invitation himself."

"I didn't expect that Mu Yan to be so clever that he sneaked into the enemy camp alone and rescued you." Mi Yu touched An Yiruo with his arm, and blinked ambiguously: "I take back all the slander against him before."

An Yiruo was puzzled: "What are you slandering him for?"

"Didn't I hear you say that he forced a kiss and you were angry with him. But he is wearing a uniform, so I can't do anything about it, so I can only scold him in my heart." Mi Yu laughed, "Let's have dinner together tonight." , someone treats you."

An Yiruo felt that she was laughing wickedly: "Who is it?"

Mi Yu was upset: "Tan Ziyue."

"Tan Ziyue?" An Yiruo became more energetic: "You and him, are you really together?"

Mi Yu's cheeks were slightly red, "That guy is very good at stalking, and I was bothered by her, so I approved him to work as a flower protector for a period of time. During the probation period, you can return or exchange at any time."

An Yiruo was happy for her: "Then I wish him a full career soon."

Mi Yu was dissatisfied: "Why didn't you bless me?"

"Get along well." An Yiruo felt much better, and knocked her on the head: "I want to eat a full banquet."

Mi Yu patted her palm directly: "I'm not afraid of supporting you to death."

See you at the Shanshui Restaurant at about [-]:[-] p.m.

When An Yiruo and Mi Yu arrived, Tan Ziyue was already waiting at the door, and standing beside him was Mu Yan.

Almost turned around and left.

An Yiruo subconsciously grasped Mi Yu's hand, and hastily turned her back.

You can't cry, you can't cry, when you nod your head and promise the marriage date, you have already lost the right to cry for other men.She tried her best to control her emotions.

Mi Yu understood something in an instant, and the surprised expression on his face was undoubtedly revealed.The woman in front of her who was desperate to love Xi Shuoliang actually burst into tears the moment she saw Mu Yan?She was suddenly stunned, as if she couldn't accept An Yiruo's emotional change.

Yesterday Tan Ziyue said: "There must be something wrong with your girlfriend and Damu."

Mi Yu was also angry: "An Yiruo is the most dedicated woman, if you dare to slander her again, I won't let you go."

Tan Ziyue saw that she really turned her face, and begged for mercy as if to please her. After coaxing her to be happy, he said without fear of death: "How about we make a bet and ask them out for dinner, and we will know what's going on after seeing the reaction. Do you dare?"

Who is afraid of who?

Mi Yu slapped the table right then: "Just bet!"

The result is - just looking at An Yiruo's reaction when he saw Mu Yan, Mi Yu felt that they were involved in love.

After being dazed, "It's really, that's great." Mi Yu held An Yiruo, "This one is much taller than someone Xi."

Lest the world be in chaos.

An Yiruo wanted to shake off her hand.

At this moment, Mu Yan hurried over: "Is the hand injury healed?"

An Yiruo had no choice but to turn around, instead of answering, he asked, "How is your injury?"

After a short silence, they all said in unison: "It's much better."

Tan Ziyue put his arms around Mi Yu's shoulders, with an expression of "you lose, you have to give me your body".

Mi Yu tugged at his ear: "Be honest and be lenient!"

Tan Ziyue leaned over and kissed her cheek, whispering, "I'll tell you if I stay at night."

He responded with a pair of high heels.

The reason why Tan Ziyue dared to bet with Mi Yu was not what Mu Yan said, but because his words and deeds betrayed him.

When Mu Yan came back from Yunnan, Tan Ziyue went to Mu's house to make a living. During the dinner, he inadvertently mentioned that he would make a pair with Mi Yu and be the best man and bridesmaid for An Yiruo and Xi Shuoliang. , he ignored his parents, put down his chopsticks and slammed the door and left.

That's how the emotions are leaked.

Mother Mu quietly told Tan Ziyue: "Ziyue, you and Damu have been playing together since childhood, and he never hides anything from you. Go and ask what's going on, and then tell me."

It's not a good job. If you offend the herd team, you will be beaten.

But the godmother made an order, so there is no reason to ignore it.

Had to pull the rice fish into the water.
