love out of time

Chapter 22

Jiang Ci's eyes searched around among the visitors, but he didn't see the figure of that person.After sitting quietly for a while, I got up again, took a glass of red wine, avoided the crowd, and quietly went outside.There is a fountain in the courtyard at the back, and white marble stone benches are built under the trees beside it.She walked over and sat down, put the wine glass aside, kicked off her high heels, and stepped on the steamy grass with bare feet.

The deafening rock music in the house immediately went away, faintly and no longer distinct, as if in another space.It was already dusk, and the heavy shadow cast by the oak tree overhead covered this square inch of land.

Jiang Ci drank the little red wine left, put the glass on the grass, lay down with her legs curled up and tried it out, the stone bench just allowed her to sleep peacefully by herself.She turned sideways, used her hands as a pillow, and put it under her head, looking at the fountain in front of her.

Only at this time can we take off the yoke from our backs and indulge in leisure for a while.

Jiang Ci has a small drinking capacity, half a bottle of beer will be on his head, just after drinking the red wine starts to play a role, creating a bit of just the right amount of dizziness.

The strong smell of vegetation was sent into the nostrils by the hot night wind, her eyelids gradually became heavy, and she fell asleep unknowingly.

In a daze, a hand patted her shoulder lightly.Jiang Ci let out an "um" from his nose, and clapped his hand again.Jiang Ci woke up suddenly and reflexively sat up.She forgot that it was on a stone bench, she couldn't sit still for a while, and almost fell, a hand lifted her elbow vigorously at the right time.

Jiang Ci raised his head and met a familiar face.

Liang Jingxing let go of his hand and said with a smile, "Chen Juefei is looking for you."

In the dark night, only a rough outline can be seen, but the faint smell of smoke on his body can be smelled in the breath.

Liang Jingxing sat down beside her, and said, "I haven't seen you for a while."

Jiang Ci gave a low "hmm", "What are you busy with?"

"The company's new opening is full of chores." Liang Jingxing paused, "Your two murals are very good."

Jiang Ci lowered his eyes, spread his fingers, and carefully distinguished, "The time is too fast, otherwise it could be better."

Liang Jingxing laughed lowly, "Don't worry, Mr. Chen Tongxu's name has not been insulted."

After a while of silence, Liang Jingxing asked her, "How are you doing?"

"Fortunately."

"I'm in the third grade, are there too many classes?"

"Fortunately, the evening self-study was extended by an hour."

Very ordinary inquiries, just like Jiang Mingyuan used to routinely understand the situation after work. At that time, she was always impatient, but now she has a lot of patience, but no one asks her like this anymore.

"You're still young, so you don't need to work too hard," paused, "You seem to be thinner than the last time we met, you still need to eat more."

Jiang Ci gently clenched his fingers, for a long while, "Yeah."

Liang Jingxing smiled and stood up from the stone bench, "Let's go, Chen Jue has to cut the cake."

Jiang Ci also stood up and looked down for his shoes.Jiang Ci stretched out his hand to touch it, but only found one.

"what happened?"

"I can't find another shoe."

Liang Jingxing squatted down, took out his mobile phone and lit the backlight to take a photo, and took out another one from behind the stool leg.Jiang Ci was about to bend down to pick it up when Liang Jingxing gently pinched his ankle.
