Chapter 13 I Don't Want You Alone
As soon as he came out of the police station, Ning Lixia saw Jiang Shaozheng waiting not far away.

"I'm hungry, I want to eat very spicy hot pot, let's find a restaurant that is still open."

Jiang Shaozheng received the news of Yan Biao's arrest early in the morning, but he didn't ask, and opened the car door for her with a smile: "It's already past midnight, most shops are closed, let's go back, we have all the ingredients at home, the bottom of the pot You can also do it yourself."

Ning Lixia nodded in agreement.There were not many pedestrians on the road, so Jiang Shaozheng drove back to the apartment in only 10 minutes.

Washing and chopping vegetables and boiling the bottom of the pot, the two chatted one after another while they were doing it, but they both carefully avoided the two topics of Yan Biao's arrest and the reaction of the Jiang family after Ning Lixia was taken away.

After the bottom of the pot boiled, Ning Lixia poured the sliced ​​vegetables and meat into it, and went to the wine cabinet to get two wine glasses and a bottle of white wine.

The dishes were not cooked, but half the bottle of wine was drunk.

Jiang Shaozheng's phone vibrated a few times, and he pressed the button to turn it off without even looking at it.

Ning Lixia pretended not to notice, put down his wine glass and smiled at him: "The baijiu is so strong, I just drank a few glasses and became dizzy, I'm going to sleep."

Jiang Shaozheng let out a "hmm" and turned off the fire to tidy up. It took almost an hour to arrange all the dishes, chopsticks, cups and saucers neatly.

It was already three o'clock in the morning, after a hasty shower, Jiang Shaozheng went to bed instead of turning on the lamp to read books before going to bed as usual, and was about to fall asleep in the drowsy room, but the door of the guest bedroom was pushed open.

Ning Lixia went straight to the bed, lifted the quilt and got in.

"My quilt is too thin, it's cold to sleep alone."

Surprised for two or three seconds, Jiang Shaozheng turned around and hugged her.

Ning Lixia's skin was very cold, which made him shiver, but the pleasant fragrance of her hair made his nose itch.

"Are you testing my endurance?" He chuckled softly.

Ning Lixia closed his eyes and said vaguely: "Shut up, I'm tired, I just want to sleep."

In the end, Jiang Shaozheng just kissed her forehead, and hugged her weakly.

Ning Lixia's sleeping posture was very good, and he didn't turn over from the beginning to the end, but Jiang Shaozheng still had difficulty falling asleep, and it took a long time before he regained sleepiness.

It was only half past five when he woke up again, the sky was still dark, and the early morning wind was slightly cold. Jiang Shaozheng was worried that Ning Lixia would catch a cold, and was about to close the window, but found that she had already got up.

The light in the living room was off, but there was a smell of coffee. Hearing footsteps, Ning Lixia, who was standing in front of the cabinet in a daze, turned around and asked, "Do you want soda water with fresh lemon slices?"

"it is good."

She poured a glass of soda and handed it to him, but she sat down by the floor-to-ceiling window and drank black coffee: "I thought I would suffer from insomnia last night, but counting on the sound of your breathing, I fell asleep very quickly. I didn't even have a dream. It's a pity that I woke up too fast."

Jiang Shaozheng sat down together: "But you made me sleepless all night."

Ning Lixia smiled softly: "Blame your own imagination."

In the huge living room, only a dim wall lamp was turned on, and the two of them were silent at the same time. After a long time, Ning Lixia suddenly said: "I don't know what to do, it seems like it's wrong to ignore it."

Jiang Shaozheng held her cold fingers: "Don't worry, I have contacted the best lawyer for Uncle Yan."

Ning Lixia had expected that Jiang Shaozheng would know about his father, but he still felt sad.The equality she expected has never existed, and she still needs to rely on it in the end, just like seven years ago.

"I'm afraid of ruining your peaceful life."

"I'm even more afraid. I'm afraid I won't be able to find a way to give you enough sense of security." Apart from quiet company, he doesn't know what to do for her.

"Did I make you lose face in front of your relatives? Your mother values ​​dignity so much, so she must hate me even more now."

"You don't need to think about it that much."

After a while, Ning Lixia said: "I have been working very hard, but my life is still a mess. I never got what I wanted. No matter how good I was when I was young, my mother preferred my younger sister who made trouble. When I was a teenager, my heart was full of worries. It's you, but you can't really get close. Now, you can't help my father, and you are blamed by your family."

Everyone wants to be the glory of a lover, but unfortunately she is regarded by everyone as the only time in Jiang Shaozheng's beautiful life, even though she has never done anything wrong.

How can this not be depressing.

"Who said you didn't get anything, even though it was seven or eight years late, I still fell into your palm."

"It's only at the age of 20 that I have a Barbie doll that I couldn't get at the age of ten-the expired happiness will always be discounted."

"I'm expired? Say it again!" Jiang Shaozheng pretended to be angry.

His exaggerated expression made Ning Lixia's gloomy mood a little better, he laughed and turned around to kiss him flatteringly.

This wasn't the first kiss between them, but it was hotter than any.

Jiang Shaozheng was caught off guard, and after responding passively, he lowered his head and asked her, "It's not bright yet, shall we go back to the bedroom?"

Ning Lixia didn't answer, and hugged his neck vigorously and climbed onto his body.

Jiang Shaozheng simply picked her up and strode back to the bedroom...

He has a good grasp of strength, but it still makes Ning Lixia tremble in pain, but when he is depressed, the biting hot pain is better than cold numbness.

For more than ten days in a row, the city was cloudy and rainy, and the sudden drop in temperature prevented the skin from being exposed to the air for too long. Jiang Shaozheng pulled the blanket and wrapped it around Ning Lixia's body, and went to the bathroom to drain the water without thinking about the shirt.

"I forgot to close the window, wait for you to soak in hot water for a while, or you will catch a cold."

? After turning 20, Ning Lixia forgot what it means to be shy, and now she was so unnatural that she didn't dare to look up at him, coughed lightly, then lowered her eyes and said, "I thought you would buy a ring right away if you said the first thing." Be responsible to me."

Jiang Shaozheng was overjoyed when he heard the words: "If you are willing to wear it, we will buy it later."

"It doesn't matter how beautiful you choose."

"What style do you like? I'll be out as soon as the jewelry store opens."

Probably no matter what kind of personality a woman will have at such a time, she will have the pride of a little girl. Even if you like it, you have to complain about the other party unreasonably. Request, in short, just remember that no woman will dislike a diamond that is too big."

Jiang Shaozheng smiled and said "Understood".

Ning Lixia took a long hot bath, she was so warm and comfortable that she almost fell asleep, her whole body was filled with a brand new emotion, she temporarily forgot about her father.

After applying the facial mask, he came out of the bathroom. Jiang Shaozheng, who had gone out early in the morning, happened to come back.Besides the ring, he also brought breakfast.

Ning Lixia naturally went to look at the ring first, the three-carat pear-shaped diamond looked extraordinarily huge on her thin finger.

"I was in a hurry, and I didn't have time to make an order. It was already the largest finished product in the shopping mall I went to. It seemed that the color was considered top-notch, and the clarity was only average."

Ning Lixia was quite satisfied: "Anyway, it's just for everyday wear, and it's not a wedding ring. This kind of ring is fine."

"Not a wedding ring?"

"Of course, when did I say I wanted to marry you? This ring is my compensation for saying goodbye to my girlhood."

Jiang Shaozheng, who was deceived and defrauded of money successively, was still unwilling: "Then what about my compensation for saying goodbye to my boyhood?"

Ning Lixia gave him a look of contempt: "You are obviously a 30-year-old man."

"..."

After seeing the lawyer, Ning Lixia fell into melancholy again.The amount of fraud is huge, the evidence is solid, he has been absconded for many years, and he did not turn himself in—if it weren't for Jiang Shaozheng's face, there would be no well-known lawyer willing to take such a case that would undoubtedly lose.

Yan Biao's will was very depressed, and he only asked the lawyer to tell Ning Lixia not to intervene in this matter, and he didn't even say a word about taking care of his wife and children for him.

The more her father behaved like this, the more she couldn't pretend she didn't know.There is a supermarket in the detention center, but there is a monthly consumption limit of [-] yuan. Apart from this mere [-] yuan, she has no ability to make her father's life better.

"Don't worry, I'll find a way."

"It's useless, why don't you ask Song Yarou's father! I asked the lawyer, and the possibility of being sentenced to life is very high. Jiang Shaozheng, having such a father-in-law will definitely affect your future, right?"

"What are you thinking about? Tomorrow, I will open a question and answer, are you ready?"

"I have completely forgotten what was written in the opening report. In the worst case, I will drop out of school and save the tuition fee for the next year."

Unexpectedly, Jiang Shaozheng had already sorted out all the materials for her, making her embarrassed to mention the matter of dropping out of school.

After a whole night of assault, Ning Lixia went to school with a thick face of foundation, maybe even the foundation couldn't hide her haggard and gloomy complexion, she always felt that she had attracted most people's attention.

Sure enough, as soon as the opening and defense ended, Wei Jie pulled her aside.

"You and Teacher Jiang are on good terms?"

"It's okay."

"Have you encountered any troubles recently?"

Hearing this, Ning Lixia took out the makeup mirror and took a picture: "I didn't sleep all night to prepare for it, does it look so bad if I stay up all night once in a while?"

"I heard some rumors about you..." Wei Jie hesitated to speak.

"What rumor?" Ning Lixia's heart sank.

"About your father, you haven't mentioned Uncle Ning to me before, so I was a little surprised to hear Huang Jing talking about it..."

Ning Lixia didn't know Huang Jing, but only knew that she was in the same class: "I haven't even spoken to her, but she knows about my father? What did she tell you?"

"She said that your father went bankrupt very early, was wanted all the time, and was arrested recently. Is this a rumor? I turned around and asked her who spread it, and I will scold you back for you!"

"It's not a rumor, it's true." Ning Lixia looked calm.

On the contrary, Wei Jie was ashamed as if she had broken some secret: "I, I, I, I treat you to lunch, even if it's a big deal, you can't go hungry."

"I invite you to lunch, but I have to trouble you to find out for me where these words came from."

In just a cup of coffee, Wei Jie found out the source of the rumor.

Hearing that the news was spread by a female teacher who taught modern Chinese in the Faculty of Arts, Ning Lixia immediately thought of Song Yarou who also taught ancient literature in the Faculty of Liberal Arts.

"It's not just about your father, there are even worse things. Don't be angry if I tell you."

"I won't, you say."

"She said that after Uncle Ning went bankrupt, you were taken care of by a rich and powerful man, and you changed your previous name. You avoided the limelight and came back to seduce Teacher Jiang... By the way, she also said that you and Teacher Jiang were seven or eight There was a period a few years ago, but at that time you were the one who kept pestering Mr. Jiang...Now Mrs. Jiang sees you as helpless and pitiful, and feels a little pity for you, plus the man who took care of you is not chasing after you... She, Mr. Jiang was aroused to be competitive, and he chased you after losing his head... It is said that Mr. Jiang's family is very opposed to your association, and his mother was even sent to the hospital because of anger. The door... It was just a piece of gossip, because Mr. Jiang is a popular person in the school, there are many female teachers and students who love him openly and secretly, and they have never had a serious girlfriend before, so this matter spread more and more widely Fortunately, you don't come to school often, otherwise you would have to be watched by curious teachers and students anytime and anywhere. As soon as the news came out that you came back to participate in the opening defense, some female students skipped class and came to watch."

"My father's surname is not Ning, but his surname is Yan, the color of Yan. My original name was Yan Guyu. The name Ning Lixia was indeed changed later." Ning Lixia emptied the cream in the puff, slowly correcting mistakes.

"Ah?" Wei Jie couldn't help being stunned, seeing that Ning Lixia wasn't angry at all, she asked cautiously, "Then these rumors are all true?"

"Half-truth, half-false." Ning Lixia smiled, "Only one thing is outrageous, that I was taken care of by someone... Guess who the man she said was taken care of me?"

"Who?"

"You know it too, Ning Yu."

Wei Jie spat out the milk tea in her mouth, and said while coughing: "Damn! Isn't Ning Yu your elder brother in law! Spending your elder brother's money is justified! You have never held hands, how can you call it a nurturing? But... ...If you say that there is no ambiguity at all, but it is also his unilateral conspiracy! Keep chasing after him? A person with his eyes above the top will not!"

After regaining her composure, Wei Jie asked again: "How on earth did you offend this female teacher? She arranged you in such a way and removed the provision of nurturing. This story has completely changed its style. It's not your fault that your father went bankrupt and swindled money. It’s a sad and beautiful love story after being incognito for several years and reunited with her first love boyfriend. In this way, Mr. Jiang has also changed from a silly hat Hulk to a good man who values ​​affection and is not snobbish. The female teacher said Maybe it’s because you have a crush on Mr. Jiang and you feel resentful, so you should take this opportunity to cry to Mr. Jiang and pretend to be weak! He will definitely compensate you more, and it’s also caused by his flirtatiousness! Don’t worry about the rumors, just let it go It will be broken without attacking, anyway, we don’t have to come to school this year.”

"Don't say offend, I don't know this person at all, but I can probably guess what's going on."

"What's the matter? Don't leave half of the story."

In order to express his gratitude to Wei Jie, Ning Lixia could only satisfy her curiosity.

"Another female teacher in the Faculty of Arts is an old acquaintance who grew up with me and Jiang Shaozheng. She is not only Ning Yu's ex-girlfriend, but also the perfect daughter-in-law in Jiang Shaozheng's mother's eyes. It is a pity that Ning Yu detests her hypocrisy. Jiang Shaozheng Not very interested in her."

"Which teacher are you talking about? Next time you meet, remember to point it out to me secretly. You are really mean, I treat you as a friend in vain, and you don't even tell me that Teacher Jiang is your first love!"

"You want to see Song Yarou? You don't need to be sneaky. I'll find her later. If you're okay, you can come with me."

When Ning Lixia rushed to the office building of the Faculty of Arts, the teachers had just finished their regular meeting.

Ning Lixia walked into the conference room only after the leader left and the teachers were half gone.The female teacher I met in the furniture store happened to be sitting with Song Yarou.

"Hello, remember me?"

Seeing Ning Lixia, the teacher was startled, because he guessed her intention, smiled unnaturally, subconsciously denied: "You are?"

"You don't remember what I look like, but you are very concerned about my private affairs."

"I remembered, you are Teacher Jiang's girlfriend." The female teacher suddenly realized, "But I don't quite understand what you mean, do you misunderstand me? This is not a place to talk, otherwise go to my Sit in the office?"

Seeing the young teachers not far away deliberately slowing down the movement of packing up their personal belongings, Ning Lixia naturally ignored her.

"I won't go to the office, I just want to ask a few questions. Did you tell others that I was taken care of?"

Song Yarou got up and persuaded: "Lixia, you must have misunderstood, how could Mr. Zhao say such things, give me face, calm down and talk."

Ning Lixia smiled: "Where am I not calm, don't you want to admit it? It doesn't matter, you are not afraid of being charged with defamation, and I won't bother to sue."

In fact, long before Ning Lixia approached, this Teacher Zhao already regretted gossip about Teacher Jiang's personal affairs to his colleagues, "Tell you a secret, don't tell the third person" is always a big joke, Once the words are spoken, it is difficult to take them back, and the speed of the spread of scandals is astonishing.

No one wanted to offend Shangguan Fei. Upon hearing this sentence, Mr. Zhao, who also cared about decency, blushed immediately: "Miss Ning, we are strangers, and I have no ill intentions towards you."

"We don't know each other before, how did you know about me?"

Teacher Zhao naturally wouldn't confess Song Yarou.

Seeing that she was silent, Ning Lixia turned to Song Yarou and said: "Mr. Zhao and I don't know each other, but you and I are old acquaintances who grew up together. The person Mr. Zhao said was raising me happened to be your ex. You should be very clear that I don't have that kind of relationship with him, why didn't you explain for me when you heard Mr. Zhao slander me?"

Teacher Zhao was taken aback when he heard this, and took a deep look at Song Yarou.

Song Yarou sneered: "I broke up with him many years ago, and I don't know what happened to you later."

"I don't know? Don't you like to call your ex the most? Even if he is too lazy to answer you, you never get angry. It's really rare to see a good temper. Jiang Shaozheng often praises you in front of me for being polite and understanding. His mother is sick and hospitalized. When you went to the hospital, you ran more diligently than him. I heard that his forearm was broken. It was already past nine o'clock in the evening and he worked so hard to deliver soup and supplements to his apartment. It made me, a real girlfriend, feel ashamed. No wonder Jiang Shaozheng's mother wants you to be her daughter-in-law."

"Jiang Shaozheng and I are friends. His mother is an elder I have respected since I was a child. There is nothing wrong with visiting a sick person. If you mind, I will keep him at a respectful distance from now on. Why bother to make him lose face by making noise in public. I know you are targeting me. Don't embarrass the innocent anymore." Song Yarou smiled generously.

"It's innocent to spread rumors? Unless Mr. Zhao's words come from you." Ning Lixia said unhurriedly, "That's right, my father had financial problems after he went bankrupt, and his family didn't like me and him. He was together, he wanted to reunite with me because he was in a daze, but these seem to have nothing to do with you, where is it your turn to judge? As for who made Jiang Shaozheng lose face, you and everyone here know it well Ming, it’s useless to talk too much. Maybe I can’t get into the Jiang family’s door, but you also didn’t wait for Jiang Shaozheng to pursue with bowed eyebrows, everyone is mutual.”

Jiang Shaozheng, who came over after hearing the words, finally couldn't help but interrupted with a smile: "Who said you can't enter our house?"

Ning Lixia, who was smiling from the beginning to the end, was a little angry when he saw Jiang Shaozheng's relaxed style, glared at him and stopped talking.

Jiang Shaozheng walked up to her and hugged her, put away his smile and looked at Song Yarou: "I've known you for 30 years, and it's only now that I know that you are so good at making up stories. It's really impressive."

Song Yarou, who always looked like a non-human being, suddenly changed her face when she heard the words: "Shao Zheng, is that how you look at me?"

Jiang Shaozheng, as if he had never heard of it, turned to smile and said to his colleagues in the conference room: "After watching the whole play, it's time for dinner and you still don't leave. Do you want to buy me a meal to pay for the movie ticket?"

The male teacher who tipped off to Jiang Shaozheng took the opportunity to rip off: "Old Shuhuahua has found such a beautiful girlfriend, obviously it should be your treat."

"Next time, I have to go back and kneel on the washboard early today to accept the crime."

The laughter of the crowd wiped away the embarrassment a moment ago, Jiang Shaozheng didn't stay any longer, took Ning Lixia's hand and walked out.

"I'm sorry to embarrass you."

Jiang Shaozheng almost laughed out loud: "It's okay, it's okay, as long as I don't cry and fight with my hair, I can accept it."

Ning Lixia was even more annoyed, he shook off his hand and said, "You must have heard these words a long time ago, why let them go?"

"It's impossible for me to rush into the conference room to quarrel with women like you. One-sided explanations can only get darker and darker. When we get married, the boring rumors will be self-defeating."

"They described you as affectionate, of course you are not angry! But I was slandered as a scheming girl who was first raised by someone and then came back to seduce you."

"Huh?" Jiang Shaozheng never cared much about gossip. He only heard that someone recently reported that he had a girlfriend who was not approved by his parents. He thought it was irrelevant, so he didn't ask further.

After hearing the whole story, he naturally turned cold: "You have been wronged, I will talk to Song Yarou later."

"You are not allowed to talk to her again! I have made it very clear in front of your colleagues just now, and a fool can understand her motives, and she will soon realize the offensive power of gossip."

"It's my fault, what compensation do you want?"

"Forget it, I'm not really angry. I'm not like Song Yarou, who wants to stay in this school for a long time. It's a big deal not to study, and it will have no impact on life. I went to her, but because of the recent I'm in a bad mood and just want to find something to quarrel with and vent out, just now I saw that she couldn't get off the stage, I immediately became happy, am I bad?"

"It was Song Yarou who was at fault first. As long as you're happy, it doesn't matter if you go up and beat her up. I'm not allowed to drop out of school just to make excuses for not writing my graduation thesis."

Ning Lixia cut out: "Let's eat dinner outside. I haven't made the wedding candy for my mother's wedding yet. Before it gets dark, I'm going back to the studio to pick some fresh sweet-scented osmanthus to take home. I just came up with a New ideas."

As soon as he got home, Ning Lixia was in a hurry to try making wedding lollipops with the freshly picked osmanthus flowers. Jiang Shaozheng, who was rarely at leisure, accompanied him with a thick collection of essays. The room was filled with the sweet fragrance of osmanthus flowers and maltose.

After trying five or six times, the taste was acceptable, but the transparency was not enough, and the osmanthus flowers embedded in it could not be seen clearly. Ning Lixia wrote down the ratio of white sugar, maltose and osmanthus flowers, and brought out the semi-finished product Yang Jiang Shaozheng to try.

"If it succeeds, not only can it be used for weddings, but it can also be mass-produced and sold in restaurants. The flowering period of sweet-scented osmanthus is too short, so it can be made into amber lollipops and can be stored in winter for aftertaste."

Jiang Shaozheng turned his head away from the candy that Ning Lixia handed to his mouth, and bargained seriously: "If you want me to help you try the candy, you should show some sincerity."

Ning Lixia was puzzled: "What sincerity?"

"What number did you eat just now?"

"Number five."

"Turn your face around." Jiang Shaozheng hooked his fingers.

Ning Lixia obediently leaned over without knowing it.

He suddenly turned around and kissed her, stretched out his tongue and licked her mouth slowly, and after a while he smacked his mouth with insatiable desire: "The sweetness is just right, and the osmanthus flavor is not strong enough. You can eat another piece of No. 4, wait for me Help you taste."

Ning Lixia naturally wouldn't be fooled again, and stuffed a piece into his mouth: "You'd better eat it honestly."

"Let's eat together." Jiang Shaozheng leaned over to kiss her again, and forced the candy back to her mouth.

Ning Lixia was about to hit him with his hands free, when the phone rang untimely.

It's Song Yarou.

Jiang Shaozheng hung up without hesitation.After three seconds, seeing her calling again, he simply turned off the phone.

"As long as I'm here, you hang up every time she calls, is it because of a guilty conscience?"

"...Obviously you are the one who forbids me to talk to her. If I pick you up, you will be angry at me for being disobedient."

"I'm just talking. If you meet face to face, and she takes the initiative to talk to you, you will definitely not be able to turn a blind eye and listen to it."

"It's still the same sentence, as long as you can ignore Ning Yu, I will definitely do it."

However, the next day, Jiang Shaozheng found that he really couldn't do it.

Because he had to rush back to the company for a meeting, as soon as the three morning classes were over, Jiang Shaozheng immediately went back to the office to pack his things. As soon as he walked up the stairs, he caught a glimpse of Song Yarou standing outside the office from a distance.

Naturally, he would not turn his head away naively, and simply asked first: "Mr. Song looking for me?"

"I called you a lot yesterday, but you didn't answer, are you afraid that Ning Lixia will be unhappy?"

"Is there anything wrong?" he asked, opening the door with a key.

"Don't you think we should talk?"

"There's no need to apologize. Ning Lixia and I are both busy with trivial matters, so we won't remember them for too long."

"You think it's my fault? What did she tell you?"

"It doesn't need her to say, just go outside and ask someone about the gossip a few days ago to know what is right and what is wrong. Gossip will never come out by itself."

"Ms. Zhao and I met you when we were shopping together that day. She was curious about your relationship, so she asked me if I knew Li Xia. I just said a few words casually, but I didn't expect to be interpreted like that by her... However, based on my understanding As far as she understands, she doesn't mean anything malicious." Since she couldn't find a reason to refute, Song Yarou quickly changed the subject, "If you are mad at me for talking too much, I can apologize for this matter. But is Ning Lixia completely right? Even you said it was a trivial matter, Teacher Zhao bowed her head yesterday, but she was still relentlessly aggressive, Teacher Zhao has no old grievances with her, she did it just to target me. "

"You are overthinking, no one wants to target you." Jiang Shaozheng didn't bother to argue with her at length, and said succinctly, "I didn't fully understand the whole process when I rushed there yesterday. If I knew at that time, what else would there be? Seduce or not, maybe the person who spread the rumors will be ashamed to come to school again, you go back and tell Teacher Zhao, because my girlfriend doesn't want to care about it, she is lucky enough."

"Shaozheng, I always thought we were friends. Do you hate me so much because of Ning Lixia?" Song Yarou's face was full of disbelief, "I really don't understand why she has targeted me since she was a teenager. I don't care about her because I feel that I should be humble when I am older than her. Now I realize that blindly forbearing will only make the other party go too far. She is almost 27 years old and is no longer a child. She should understand some truths. "

"I just blame her for being too sensible." Jiang Shaozheng frowned, "I used to regard you as a friend, but now...to borrow a sentence from Li Xia to describe your relationship, we are not the same person as you. Maybe my attitude makes you I feel uncomfortable, but your accusation of Li Xia also makes me very disgusted, since we have different ways, let's keep a respectful distance from each other in the future."

"Okay. I wish you a long life." Song Yarou didn't expect Jiang Shaozheng, who has always been modest and polite, to say so bluntly about breaking up the relationship. She felt her face burning hot and couldn't stay any longer.

She opened the door and was about to go out, but saw three female students standing outside the door.

The female students neither entered nor retreated. They froze for a few seconds before one of them put on a smirk and said, "Teacher Song is here too! My roommate and I have taken your elective course, and my roommate admires you very much... Oh, we I came here to ask Mr. Jiang a few questions."

Song Yarou wasn't sure how much they had heard, so she forced a smile back before leaving in a hurry.

Maybe it's because they no longer value cumbersome formalities in the name of romance when they get older. The Ning couple's wedding has no wedding dress and vows, only a grand banquet.

There were too many guests, and Mrs. Ning, who was tired of welcoming and sending off, didn't even have time to greet her eldest daughter and son-in-law who came from afar. Ning Lixia was too lazy to accompany Jiang Shaozheng to socialize with strangers, so she simply sat down in the hanging garden outside the banquet hall with a glass of fruit wine. Mobile games to pass the time.

"Do you think it's particularly boring?" Ning Yu walked in after him.

Ning Lixia turned off the phone: "I came here one day earlier, I wanted to help, but when I arrived, I found out that the wedding company had arranged everything early in the morning, and my mother was too busy, the only thing I could do was to stay quietly, Try not to take up her time."

"Leave early if you feel bored. The law does not give children the obligation to attend their parents' wedding."

"I'm not you, always give my mother face."

"So you are more tired than me." Ning Yu sat beside her.

"I'm surprised you're here."

"I'm not here to save face. More than half of the people here today have cooperation with me. I'm here because I have business to discuss."

Ning Lixia smiled, obviously caring about someone but refusing to admit it, this is Ning Yu's usual personality.

"You really decided to make do with Jiang Shaozheng?"

"If nothing else happens."

"Among all the women I know, you are the stupidest one. If you don't choose the broad road, you have to jump into the fire pit."

"Since he doesn't dislike my troubles, why should I be afraid of mountains of swords and seas of fire?"

"... Mountains of knives and fire are not as scary as a woman with a twisted mind. Don't say I didn't warn you, Jiang Shaozheng's mother and Song Yarou, there are times when you cry. You were taken to the police station for questioning on the Mid-Autumn Festival, right? Who is the insider who provided the clue?"

"Song Yarou?" Ning Lixia was extremely surprised.

"Yeah. I heard that she was suffering from depression. These days, she didn't even go to school, and she refused to leave the door. She said that she didn't want to be ashamed."

"How would you know?"

"Song Yarou has mental problems. I have known for a long time. She refused to persuade her to see a doctor early. Her parents only recently found out that something was wrong. They probably felt ashamed. They even avoided acquaintances when they asked her a psychiatrist. She didn't cooperate very much. For treatment, her parents thought that her emotional breakdown was due to Jiang Shaozheng's affairs, and they also felt that the part with me was the previous cause, so they called me to ask me to explain her. In fact, it was the opposite, because of the reason of being so competitive that she was too extreme. There are feelings of repeated failures."

"...I really can't understand her."

"She has such a personality that has a lot to do with her parents. Her parents stubbornly believe that all the troubles of their such an outstanding daughter are caused by others. Now they must regard you as a thorn in their side."

Ning Lixia didn't take it seriously: "The thorn in the side is the thorn in the side. Even if Song Yarou is not depressed, the people of the Song family will not treat me as a friend."

"Be careful yourself, as long as you don't always think about saving your father, Jiang Shaozheng is useless, and the people of the Song family can't do anything to you. It's still the same sentence, you can't help anyone, take care of yourself first."

"You are all hiding here!" Yan Hanlu's clear voice suddenly sounded, "Mom is looking for you, and she said she wants to introduce the eldest daughter and son-in-law to friends."

"Understood, let's go now." Ning Lixia hurriedly said goodbye to Ning Yu, and walked out quickly.

Yan Hanlu didn't leave, and observed Ning Yu's expression with great interest: "Why didn't you bring your girlfriend?"

Ning Yu didn't answer, and looked at her with a slight frown.

"The last time my mother and I met you on the street, you looked very young, aren't you your girlfriend!"

"Is it related to you?"

Yan Hanlu was half drunk, and she was extra bold: "Of course, you are also my brother."

Ning Yu was too lazy to talk to her and got up to leave.

"Hey, for the sake of our family, I give you some advice! If you want to forget my sister, you have to find someone more beautiful than her." Yan Hanlu touched her face and said with a smile, " Although it sounds like you are boasting yourself, your little girlfriend is not as good-looking as my sister."

A smile appeared on Ning Yu's face: "You are far behind your sister."

"Liar!" Yan Hanlu was very annoyed, "We are identical twins, the same egg! Do you understand, my sister and I look exactly the same, everyone has said that since we were young!"

"It's just that the facial features are similar, but the temperament, figure, and conversation are completely different." Through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, Ning Yu looked at Ning Lixia's back and said, "I also give you a piece of advice. When you see your sister, you must remember to forget who you are. Twins, so as not to have the illusion that you are also a beautiful woman."

"You!!!" Yan Hanlu wanted to pounce on him and bite off his neck. After thinking about it, she smiled relievedly, "Forget it, because you are sad, I don't care about you."

"what?"

"You are actually very sad."

Ning Yu didn't answer, and said after a long time: "It's none of your business."

"If you don't deny it, you admit it!" Yan Hanlu laughed like revenge, "Of course it's none of my business. If my sister doesn't dump you, what will you do if you become my brother-in-law! Jiang Shaozheng is also a handsome guy. It's not as bad as you, and this time I came here and brought gifts for me and my mother!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Yan Hanlu, who was worried about being retaliated, ran away.

In fact, she didn't need to leave at all, because Ning Yu didn't have the strength to argue with her at this moment, if she walked more slowly, maybe she would see the unprecedented loneliness on his face.

Are you sad?In fact, I don't think so.It's just numb, just like when I haven't met her yet.A similar life day after day, there is nothing to look forward to and surprise, no one needs to miss and remember.Everything in your hands has been owned since birth, and it doesn't change much whether you work hard or not. What's the point of earning more money, except for the praise of insignificant people, it can only prove that you are still alive.

In this way, his life is really a failure.
