Marriage is too late

Chapter 53

Lin Xuxing chewed his lunch calmly, thought for a while before opening his mouth: "Lin's previous main body is not in this field of our branch company, and it cannot be ruled out that they have expansion needs to enter this field. So it is difficult for me to make a judgment , Is he an expansion of the business territory, or is it just because of you."

Ji Jin unconsciously scratched the napkin with her fingertips, her eyes seemed to be in the past, she recalled and said: "He said something strange that day, he said that he wanted me to divorce you, took me back to City H, and let me Marry the young talent he arranged."

Lin Xuxing was taken aback for a moment, knowing for the first time what irrational anger is.He knew that Ji Jin in front of him would never divorce him immediately as Han Yi said, but Lin Xuxing couldn't control his anger.Such emotions were almost completely unfamiliar to the always gentle Lin Xuxing.

Ji Jin didn't realize Lin Xuxing's strangeness. She still spoke softly, seeming to speculate, as if asking herself: "Why? Back then, until I left the Han family, he didn't have any special feelings for me, even after many years In the end, I felt a little owed, and it seems that there is no need to express it in such a drastic way, right?"

Lin Xuxing said abruptly: "If you don't mind, I want to know everything that happened between you and Han Yi, all the details."

Ji Jin looked at him in surprise, it's not that he can't say it, but it's really shameful to talk about his girl's hopeless unrequited love.

Lin Xuxing coughed lightly to hide his bewilderment: "Of course, if you want, this is your personal privacy after all. I just want to know what Han Yi's purpose is."

"Okay." Ji Jin was calm on the contrary. For such a reason, she had no reason to refuse.What's more, all that has passed, and looking back now, it is nothing more than a young girl's nostalgia, who has never admired a young face in his youth.Only after putting everything down, in retrospect, it seems that I can still find a little light fragrance, like the sunshine in the afternoon of youth, after many years, it is old and yellow, but it is still warm.

When Ji Jin was at the knees of her adoptive parents, she was still called "Ji Zhaodi". The childless Ji family couple hoped so much to have a child of their own, even her name put such a hope in it.

Ji Zhaodi is the most ordinary child of a small urban family. Her parents used to be small employees in a large state-owned factory.Later, the long-cherished wish of begging for a child for many years finally came true. Ji Zhaodi had a younger brother who was loved by thousands of people. After having a pair of children, although the family was poor and lived in more poverty than before, it was still happy.Later, after experiencing large-scale layoffs from state-owned enterprises, both parents lost their jobs, and the family's life suddenly fell into a predicament.

The adoptive father fell into ruin overnight. This former technological pioneer and outstanding worker left the machine and factory building. His technology was outdated, his thinking was rigid, and he couldn't even find a job to support him. Since then, he and alcohol have become best friends.

The adoptive mother showed the unique tenacity of Chinese women and gritted her teeth to support the house. There is a small barbecue stall in the downtown area. The downstairs is the storefront, and the upstairs is the residence of the whole family. 16-year-old Ji Zhaodi stepped into high school Life, the back foot began to work together with the adoptive mother for the livelihood of the whole family.

When 16-year-old Ji Zhaodi entered her high school life, she also met a completely different person from her previous self—Han Yi.

The day Ji Zhaodi met Han Yi for the first time was the opening ceremony, and Ji Zhaodi, who was fat, kind and short, sat in the first row.The principal invited the student representatives of the first year of high school to give a speech to welcome the new students. Han Yi, who stood on the stage, had a snow-white shirt and a straight neckline without any wrinkles. He was white and delicate, with a handsome and sunny face.Ji Zhaodi has seen such a good-looking boy before, but he has never seen such a talking boy. His voice does not have the rough texture of a boy in the voice change period, and his voice is clear. When he talks, there is a smile in the corner of his eye.Obviously it was a slogan-style declaration, but when he said it, it sounded very nice, with gurgling words, like a poem.

Ji Zhaodi, who struggled to find time to take the exam from the spare time of tending the barbecue booth, had oily fumes in her fingernails that could not be cleaned all the year round, her hands were full of smoky marks, and her fat face was full of oily shine. Sitting in the first row, he looked at Han Yi like a creature from another world.

"It's the most vulgar school grass speech. The ordinary girls in the audience feel that they are seeing a male god." Ji Jin smiled, as if he didn't care.Anyone's youth must encounter such an encounter with a male god, hers is very ordinary, nothing more.

Lin Xuxing nodded, thought for a while, and added: "My high school, university and master's degree are all speech representatives for admission and graduation." With a serious expression, he seemed to be echoing Ji Jin.

Ji Jin laughed, suppressed his own smile, and patted Lin Xuxing's hand to show that she understood.

"Han Yi and I are people from two worlds. I knew it from the first day I saw him, and I never felt any dissatisfaction with this matter. A crush doesn't hurt. At least at that time, I did I thought about it." Ji Jin said frankly, "I even thought that when I graduated, I must have the courage to confess once. Although I must fail, but my own youth did not even have the courage to try. I am so sorry. I'm gone." Ji Jin's face had an extraordinarily radiant look, and when she talked about the past, she didn't feel depressed or twitchy, it was a part of her life that she had experienced.

It's a pity that Ji Zhaodi couldn't wait for that perfect graduation, and everyone went their separate ways. You and I have since forgotten each other in the rivers and lakes, and we have forgotten each other after many years.

It was an accident that Ji Zhaodi spoke to Han Yi for the first time.She hurried from the side of the basketball court to the classroom with her freshly washed lunch box in her arms. Her schedule was always in a hurry, and she had no time to stop, whether it was academics or life.

Ji Zhaodi broke into a basketball in a hasty timetable, and Han Yi accidentally smashed a basketball into Ji Jin's shoulder. Unfortunately, Ji Zhaodi didn't faint like a weak girl, she just got smashed out of her hand The lunch box was full of sand.

This was an insignificant matter. Ji Zhaodi didn't even expect that Han Yi would take the initiative to help pick up the lunch box and apologize. He even gave her a pack of delicate and fragrant tissues and a bottle of water. He smiled heartily: "I'm sorry, classmate , please wash the lunch box again."

Ji Zhaodi hurriedly waved her hands: "It's okay, just wash it."

"All right, I'm going to play." Han Yi turned around and left.

This moment came back to Ji Zhaodi's mind repeatedly later. When the memory restored that moment to its infinite beauty, Ji Zhaodi always felt that the sky was clear that day, the young Han Yi's smile was perfect and sunny, and even the beads of sweat reflected the brilliance of youth and vitality .She hid the pack of tissues and mineral water that Han Yi gave her in the box under the bed, until one day she found out that her brother had stolen her water, and she was so angry that she didn't talk to him for three whole days.

If this was just the first beating of Ji Zhaodi's sprouting girl's heart, then that unexpected encounter later made Ji Zhaodi truly fall.

At that time, Han Yi suddenly changed into a different person. The good boy Han Yi, the Han Yi who gave a speech as a student representative, and the Han Yi who wore a white shirt, became another Han Yi. This Han Yi, who was absent from exams, smoked and fought, Arriving late and leaving early, the clothes are always two buttons open, and the bangs are no longer refreshing and beautiful, but long enough to cover them.

Han Yi became a representative of "degenerate" in the school.

Except for Han Yi herself, no one knew why. Teachers and students who wanted to "save" Han Yi went on and on, and Ji Zhaodi couldn't even get in line. She could only watch silently, puzzled, and saddened by Han Yi's change.

Until the trajectory of fate makes them meet again.

Ji Zhaodi always rushes home after studying at night. Her family's evening market is busy at night, and her adoptive mother is almost overwhelmed. She looks forward to her coming home soon every night.That day, she was doing self-study for a math problem the next night, so she packed her schoolbag and went home a few minutes late. In a hurry, she took a shortcut,
This shortcut passes through an old neighborhood that has just been demolished. There are few people and there are few street lights. After nightfall, almost no one passes by except for stray dogs.

Anxious Ji Zhaodi witnessed the first violence in her life here.She was ignorant and broke into the scene where a group of people were fighting.At a loss, she was almost accidentally injured, and an iron rod aimlessly attacked Ji Zhaodi who was riding a bicycle and wearing the school uniform of H Middle School.

He yelled angrily: "You are fucking blind, and you beat a woman too. No matter how cowardly I, Han Yi, would be, I wouldn't bring in a female classmate to help." Shout, "Student has nothing to do with you, hurry up and leave."

The flustered Ji Zhaodi fled the scene, but remembered that unforgettable moment.

"You see, this is a story of hopeless unrequited love, the kind you remember when you get old. I guess I want to disappoint you. There is no romantic element in this story. I have always been a little girl. Poor supporting role." Ji Jin chuckled.

Lin Xuxing breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and thanked Han Yi for not marrying, otherwise who would leave such a beautiful Ji Jin to him?He nodded: "I'm waiting for that 'but' of yours."

Ji Jin was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled, if it ended like this, how could everything have come to this day?
"You've heard that 'but', I entered the Han family." Ji Jin's face became melancholy.

Ji Zhaodi was retrieved by the grandma of the Han family, changed her name to Ye Zhirou, and entered the Han family. Ji Zhaodi's new tablemate Qu Tingbai even called her "Ye Zhirou" before she knew the name "Ji Zhaodi" well. .

"Know the small to know the bright, know the soft to know the strong", Qu Tingbai thinks this name is more suitable for her.

The first time Ye Zhirou saw Han Yi, Han Yi frowned and looked at her school uniform: "Are you from our school? I haven't seen you before."

Ye Zhirou tried to show her most beautiful smile: "My name is Ye Zhirou, a sophomore in high school."

Han Yi nodded and left the Han family.
