Come To My Office After Get Off Work

Less than half an hour after Xu Shuxia went up, Jiang Shu received her WeChat message:

[She said she wanted to talk to you. 】

So fast? Jiang Shu just wanted to praise Shu Xia for cutting the mess with a good knife, but another message came out:

[It has nothing to do with me, she took the initiative to talk about it. 】

Two minutes later, Xu Shuxia came downstairs, and Jiang Shu got up and went upstairs alone.

This was the first time Jiang Shu went to Ji Lianxing's room, and she was full of curiosity about where she lived.

Going to the second floor, there is a door at the corner of the corridor. Before going to the third floor, you have to open the door to go up. The door was unlocked. Jiang Shu pushed it open and walked upstairs. Light.

With each step on the stairs, his heart beat faster. Jiang Shu was thinking, what are they going to talk about later?

Knock, she knocked gently on the door.

After a while, the door opened a crack, and the light inside came out, followed by Ji Lianxing's face.

She has a ball head and water drops on her face. She should have just washed her face. She wears a white T-shirt and denim shorts very simply.

"Come in." Ji Lianxing pushed the door open, turned sideways, took a pair of slippers on the shoe rack and handed them to Jiang Shu, "Wait for me in the living room."

She turned around and walked towards the bathroom, Jiang Shu stared at her slender back, her long white legs dangling, until she turned around and entered the door and disappeared from sight, then Jiang Shu lowered her head and put on her shoes.

There was a rush of water from the bathroom.

Putting on his shoes, Jiang Shu was full of curiosity and looked around. Looking in from the entrance, he could see the bright living room at a glance. Extending out was a balcony. The balcony was equipped with a round white table and an easel. Full of flowers and plants, red and green, green and white, it looks full of vitality.

The layout of the house is very simple. The bright and cool colors make people feel comfortable. There is a CD rack and player next to the sofa. It turns out that she still keeps the habit of listening to songs in this way.

Jiang Shu walked in front of the player, put his hand on the switch button of the player, pressed it subconsciously, and the machine instantly sang: "Andtheskyisgrey..." and sang the sentence, it was very loud, Jiang Shu Startled, I immediately stopped playing.

It turned out that she was still listening to "Chongqing Forest", and Jiang Shu was a little moved. She thought that when Ji Lianxing left the CD in the third courtyard of the Song family, it meant that she would never listen to it again, but she didn't expect to buy a new one.

The sound of the water in the bathroom stopped, and Ji Lianxing appeared in Jiang Shu's sight within three to five seconds. She clearly heard the singing and looked at Jiang Shu while wiping her face with a face towel. The two stared at each other like that.

Ji Lianxing said, "Do you drink coffee?"

Jiang Shu was stunned, "You can have a drink."

Ji Lianxing turned around and disappeared again.

The sunshine outside was very attractive, Jiang Shu walked towards the balcony, ready to sit and soak up the sun. Only then did she see clearly what was drawn on the drawing board. It was a little hedgehog. Oh, no, it was half a hedgehog. Jiang Shu stared at the dark maroon spikes on the drawing board, not knowing that Ji Lianxing could still draw.

Ten minutes later, Ji Lianxing came over with two cups of coffee and placed them on the round table. She moved another stool and sat on the side with Jiang Shu.

There is a mountain not far away, and a beam of warm light shines through the gap between the mountain and the mountain, shining on the coffee cup, the liquid in the cup shakes gently, and the luster is translucent.

The two tacitly closed their eyes and basked in the sun for a while.

"Well, let's open up today."

Jiang Shu nodded, "Okay, then open up."

"Actually, I don't have to watch the video, and you have said what it is about. I just want to ask you one thing, have you ever liked me?" Ji Lianxing opened his eyes, and his eyes fell on Jiang Shu's face.

Jiang Shu's face was reddened by the sun, and her skin was smooth, down to the details of every fluff. Two years later, she was still young.

Jiang Shu nodded, "Of course I like it."

"Did you find another girl after we broke up?"

"No." How could he still find someone else, he was always alone.

Ji Lianxing sighed, and sure enough, Lan Yue had a plan.

"Actually, Lan Yue came to me later and sent me some emails. In the video, you are embracing a girl while laughing and eating. The girl listens to you and feeds you." She took out her mobile phone, Handed it to Jiang Shu, "I doubted myself during that time. After seeing the video, I doubted this relationship. Yu Meng actually called me later, and I asked her to block you."

Later, Yu Meng was sent abroad for further study because of his outstanding performance. In the past two years, the contact has been online, and he has not met in person.

Jiang Shu took over the phone and clicked on the video to watch the video. The picture was clear, with Li Xiangyan's voice and Jiang Shu's. A girl leaned against Jiang Shu's arms and called her sister. Jiang Shu scooped a spoonful of mashed potatoes and put it in her mouth. inside.

The content is true, but the time line is wrong. This is the girl before she met Ji Lianxing. Jiang Shu turned off the video after only a few glances, and returned the phone to Ji Lianxing.

"The video is from the past, this girl, um..." It was the one she was interested in before, but it didn't last long. Jiang Shu looked into the distance, staring at the tree on the mountain in a daze, a little disappointed, "Little Hedgehog, in fact, I think the real reason for us to separate is that in addition to Lan Yue, you don't think I will love you."

"Yes." Ji Lianxing bowed his head, and since he was about to open up, he said, "With you, it is always happy and unreal, and after being brave, it shrinks, and it is always wandering."

"Why?" Jiang Shu was puzzled, is it enough to love him?

"Not equal." Ji Lianxing pursed her lips, she wasn't sure if Jiang Shu could understand what she meant, "I don't mean your behavior, but the objective existence between us, regardless of life experience or economic strength."

Jiang Shu replied in a second, "I don't mind."

"I know, you don't mind. But I do."

"What's your concern?"

Ji Lianxing smiled bitterly, "You can take me to a five-figure meal, all I can give you is Bubble Mart for 70 yuan. You buy me 17,000 pieces of clothes, I dare not Wear it because I don't know what to wear with it."

She lowered her eyes, thinking about something, and said: "I drink 8 yuan of instant coffee, you drink 2,000 cans of Geisha, you are so high, the money you make in one minute is worth half a month for me, in addition to economic strength, our relationship There are also differences in family, origin, and social status.”

"Little hedgehog, I've never cared about that, as long as we don't fall in love?"

Ji Lianxing nodded and answered her seriously:

"Yes, I understand, you don't care. Jiang Shu, if we change positions, I won't care about it. We just have different positions. Your wealth will make you not dislike my poverty, because you are already rich enough. But my barrenness will make me feel inferior, it is uncontrollable. I was not confident at that time, I couldn't believe that you would fall in love with me like that, when I saw you and Lan Yue sleeping together At that time, my first reaction was to doubt myself, wondering if I was not worthy of your liking?"

Jiang Shu gasped when he heard this, and his heart ached.

"The day I left, I was thinking that even if we fell in love, we would eventually return to the firewood, rice, oil and salt. I was thinking, what can I give you in the days to come? Will we have a common topic? I don't know what to do? Coupled with the Lan Yue incident, I completely denied this relationship."

Jiang Shu frowned and said distressedly, "But you are also very good."

"When I didn't fall in love with you, I felt the same way. I'm very proud that I walked out of that small village. I'm very proud that I can get a salary of tens of thousands after graduation. I'm very proud that I can survive in a big city like City A. Go down." Ji Lianxing's throat was a little choked up, "But Jiang Shu, when my uncle was sick and couldn't give her any money, I couldn't be prouder. After taking your money, my inferiority complex was haunting me."

Ji Lianxing's eyes were already flushed, and tears were stuck in his eyes, forcing it not to fall.

"Yes, selfishly speaking, I feel happy even in the days when I was raised by you, but it's very unreal. Maybe I thought you were just playing around with me from the beginning." Ji Lianxing couldn't hold back her tears. , "The gap between us is like the third courtyard of the Song family and your building in the city center. One can only see the broken building outside the window, while the other can overlook the entire city."

Jiang Shu wanted to reach out to wipe her tears, but she avoided it.

"Listen to me."

Jiang Shu withdrew his hand, "Okay, I will listen to you."

"With the encouragement of Brother Xiao Li, I decided to try it with you. After we were together, I secretly vowed to work hard, keep up with your pace, and try to widen the gap between us."

"But the Lanyue incident really broke me completely. I've never been in love, and I've never had a skin-to-skin relationship with anyone else. When I saw you lying on the sofa with her in her arms, it wasn't just the things on the table. , and the way you hugged her, I instantly felt disgusting."

"And that morning, I asked you and Lan Yue if you thought about me when it happened that night. You defended her and accused me of speculating about your relationship with her." Ji Lianxing felt that his heart was completely at that time. hard.

"Of course, I didn't know you were a victim too."

"I just want to run away, I just want to leave, and I want to never see you. I don't want to hear your explanation."

"But now, it seems that you are not wrong."

Ji Lianxing twisted the tissue into a ball and threw it into the trash can, his eyes were red, and he stopped talking.

Jiang Shu was silent, his eyes fell on the round table, and the two cups of coffee were still warm.

What Ji Lianxing said, Jiang Shu never thought about it. She was just confused at first, why Ji Lianxing couldn't accept those gifts calmly, and they were not very expensive.

She didn't expect that their meeting was in such a relationship. They were linked by money. Even if Jiang Shu didn't care about the money at all, she forgot that Ji Lianxing did.

She also forgot that in the past, she had raised so many girls that it would make Ji Lianxing feel insecure, and Lan Yue's behavior was indeed another heavy blow.

"I didn't think about it that much." Jiang Shu said.

Ji Lianxing nodded, "I know."

"It seems that we have only been in love for a week?" Jiang Shu suddenly said.

Ji Lianxing didn't understand why she said this, but she still replied: "It's less than a week, we were together on Saturday, we broke up on Wednesday, it's only four days."

"What about now? Would you still choose me now?" Jiang Shu looked at her sideways, with anticipation in his eyes, "Or, do you still like me?"

"Jiang Shu, I've grown a lot by myself in the past two years. Love is no longer a necessity for me. I'm no longer who I used to be. You liked the me before, but would you like me now?" Ji Lianxing Looking at her too, there is more relief in her eyes, "I think it will be difficult for us to be like before."

"Oh." Jiang Shu's eyes were dodging, and she was very disappointed, but she could also feel that Ji Lianxing was indeed not the former Ji Lianxing. She had old parts, but more of a new appearance.

"I regained my self-confidence, but I lost the courage to love again." Ji Lianxing felt gloomy. She was stating a fact. Telling Jiang Shu about a misunderstanding was a knot in her heart, but she had to talk to her again. It takes courage to fall in love.

Still like it? I like it. But how can we hug without any scruples like before? too difficult.

The two did not speak, sitting on the stool, looking at the mountains, the sun, and other people's hometowns.

Butterflies fluttered among the flowers, and the scent of pollen was in the air.

Less than half a meter away from Jiang Shu, there was half a hedgehog on the easel. Its round eyes were a little dull. Behind the painting, there was a box of purple gem flowers. It was growing just right, with plump and lush leaves.

After pondering, Jiang Shu finally spoke again:

"Can you accept that someone else will be with me for the rest of my life?"

The picture flashed across his head, and Ji Lianxing stabbed his heart heavily, as if he couldn't.

Jiang Shu added: "You can throw away the past. But we can't just stop there."

"How about that?"

Jiang Shu looked at her with burning eyes, "We should have a chance to get to know each other again."
