There was constant laughter around, and people came and went, but they stood at a distance not close or far, looking at each other's eyebrows, still familiar, but a little afraid to recognize each other.

The ambiguous and warm images of the past passed by my ears, as if I had returned to the spring of three years ago as soon as I closed my eyes.

Time and everything cease in an instant.

Qu Rui stared at the new handsome guy excitedly, and made a tsk sound in her mouth, she should have admired the quality of the new handsome guy, she saw that Ning Xi suddenly stood still, pushed her, go in, what are you doing in a daze.

Ning Xi seemed to be nailed to the ground, unable to move, her hand hanging by her side curled up slightly, and a fine pain climbed from the soles of her feet to the heavenly spirit, crushing and messing with her internal organs.

In the dim light, all the thoughts that were caught off guard were peeled away and exposed, and the pale face was so panicked that there was nowhere to escape.

After three years, she actually met Li Ti at Qu Rui's thirtieth birthday party.

Ning Xi left without saying a word, as if the world had evaporated. didn't reveal a single bit of news to the people around him.

She walked simply, and it was she herself who was tortured in the past three years abroad, she thought that some habits could be overcome, and she liked to bury them deep in her heart, but as time went on, her thoughts about Li Ti were like a chronic disease, not fatal, but enough to grind her every life.

Many times she was half-asleep and half-awake, and heard Li Ti calling her in her ear, counting her disobedient, wearing little hands and cold hands, and then pulling her hand over and covering it in the palm of her hand, or he asked Ah Xi what she should wear today, why she didn't iron her shirt evenly, and then fight twice.

Ning Xi would always wave his hand impatiently and let him go to the cloakroom to find it by himself, and by the way, mock him for what a doctor is doing in such a handsome outfit.

When she uttered a syllable, she would wake up suddenly, and then look at the dark room, the empty room, curl up sideways on the cold bed, pretending that Li Ti had just gone to the night shift, closed his eyes and slept and he would leave work.

With this thought, she lived like this for three years.

The wheel of time does not seem to stop, three years, more than a thousand days and nights, and the distance between them is not a few steps, but three years.

Now Li Ti was standing in front of her, but she didn't dare to go over to say hello to him.

Qu Rui saw that Ning Xi was wrong, so she pushed her again, what did she think.

Ning Xi curled her fingers away, and she looked away from Li Ti. He walked behind Qu Rui towards the group.

Qu Rui has always been hospitable, especially when his new friend is still a handsome guy, he is even more happy, he walked up to Li Ti and raised his eyebrows, handsome guy, what do you call it.

Li Ti's gaze returned to Qu Rui's body, and he smiled faintly, My name is Li Ti.

The person who led Li Ti came, hooked Li Ti's shoulder, leaned into his ear and didn't know what he said, Li Ti glanced at him, the man raised his eyebrows, and Li Ti suddenly smiled.

In the time that followed, Li Ti didn't look at Ning Si, and he didn't even plan to say hello.

Qu Rui beckoned them to sit down, and Ning Si walked to the other end and sat down, her whole body wandering outside the party.

Fortunately, Qu Rui was busy greeting others, and she didn't notice the discomfort on her face at all. At this time, Ning Xi didn't dare to raise her eyes, because there was a cold line of sight on the opposite side, which would sweep towards her from time to time. Just casually swept through that kind and didn't stay.

Qu Rui accosted him from the other person, and he also turned sideways slightly, chuckling in response, but a little absent-minded.

Someone handed Ning Si a cigarette, and Ning Si took it. When he first came here, he smoked again, and when he first came, he smoked fiercely, his throat was almost sucked, and the whole person stinked to death, and he was disgusted by Su Qingbai several times.

Zhou Sinian stood up and sat down beside Ning Si with a wine glass.

Zhou Sinian is a gentleman and free-spirited, rigorous and rational at work, but outside of work, he is a gentleman's hooligan, he is an unmarried, and he never stays for the flowers, and has a unique personality charm.

Su Qingbai called him a scumbag, he didn't say it or not, and even boasted about his scumbag theory. Zhou Sinian is a good person, but he doesn't start with the people around him, and if he plays again, he won't be involved with others.

Acquaintance? Zhou Sinian's legs were folded, casually together.

Ning Xi was puzzled and asked him what he knew.

Zhou Sinian laughed teasingly, the handsome guy on the other side back then, I saw that you never left him since you came in. Acquaintance or interested?

Ning Xi pursed his lips and said: If I say it's not, do you believe it?

Zhou Sinian said: Do you guess I guess it.

Ning Xi didn't speak.

At this moment, the box door was pushed open, and a tall figure appeared at the door, and the man's noble voice slowly opened, sorry, it's late.

He walked in slowly, handed a bunch of sunflowers in his hand to Qu Rui, his eyes swept over everyone in the room, paused when he saw Li Ti, and quickly turned to Ning Xi's side.

Zhou Sinian touched Ning Si's arm, No, you said that someone who didn't have time was here. Lao Su is enlightened, he will play surprises, are you happy?

Ning Xi was frightened, although she was far away, she was still afraid that Zhou Sinian's words would be heard by Li Ti, so she reluctantly reminded him: Boss, I really don't know Mr. Su's itinerary. If you are interested, you can ask his secretary for a copy.

Anyway, it's not the first time he has teased Zhou Sinian, and Zhou Sinian doesn't care, he laughs.

attracted the side eyes of other people, in Li Ti's opinion, a strange man appeared next to Ning Si, a talent and temperament are extraordinary, the two of them talk happily, and they don't need to be introduced compared to the relationship.

He looked at Ning Xi's eyes a little colder.

Su Qingbai walked to Ning Si and sat down, unbuttoned his blazer, and turned sideways to greet Zhou Sinian.

Zhou Sinian glanced at his sao red suit and snorted, Lao Su, the word Sao is too insulting to say from his mouth.

Su Qingbai smiled and loosened his tie.

Lao Su, Ah Si is still with me today, why don't you tell Ah Si about such an important matter. Zhou Sinian likes arch fire the most, and he also likes to see Su Qingbai take him without a rut.

Su Qingbai looked at Ning Xi, his cold and hard face softened, and he completed the acquisition in advance, and then I can take a vacation and decide to come over temporarily.

Tut. Zhou Sinian teased sourly, just specially, and temporarily, if you want me to say, it's still you.

Su Qingbai's face was full of smiles, and he said to Ning Xi: He's like this, don't listen to his nonsense.

Ning Xi nodded: I know.

Uncle Sue, I miss you so much. Qu Rui hurriedly came over and squeezed Su Qingbai in, and then Ning Xi didn't have time to move away, so he sat close to Su Qingbai, his thighs next to his thighs.

Through the fabric, Su Qingbai also felt Ning Xi's stiffness, and put his head to her ear and apologized very gentlemanly: I'm sorry.

Ning Si wanted to move in a little, but Zhou Sinian was sitting next to him, he had a posture that I didn't move, and it was not easy for Ning Si to speak, so he was squeezed between the two.

The faint wooden aroma on Su Qingbai's body wafted, like the end note of some kind of perfume, very fresh and smelling. She remembered that Su Qingbai obviously didn't use perfume.

Ning Xi subconsciously looked at Li Ti, he was tilting his head and lowering his eyes to say something to the man who was traveling with him, the man smiled, his lips opened and closed, the corners of Li Ti's mouth were straightened, if you knew him, you must know that he was distracted.

Qu Rui poured Su Qingbai a glass of wine, Uncle Su, you and Ah Si must be punished for being late.

Ning Xi said: I am not late.

Qu Rui gave her a look, why didn't she be late, you see that Uncle Zhou took the initiative to drink, and the two of you have to drink it too.

Qu Rui carried a glass of wine and handed it to Ning Si.

Ning Xi actually rarely drinks alcohol, since he had gastroenteritis. didn't get a drop of wine, Qu Rui handed her the wine, not really asking her to drink, but just an assist.

Before the change, others helped to drink it, and at most she was coaxed, and she laughed it. But Li Ti is also here today, and she doesn't dare to come nonsense.

Ning Xi took the wine, and in the next second, it was taken away by Su Qingbai and put on the table. The mellow voice said: She can't drink. Don't embarrass her.

Qu Rui smiled and coaxed, Ouch, Uncle Su, if you feel sorry for us, just say it, then you can drink both cups.

Su Qingbai doesn't deny it, okay.

Ning Si's breath stagnated, she picked up the wine on the table, it's okay, I can still have a glass of wine. With that, she threw her head back and poured in.

Her eyes glanced at Li Ti. The latter stared at her with a blank face, no different from the others, except that the wine in his mouth was bitter and astringent.

Drinking too quickly, the wine spilled on her face, and Su Qingbai quickly drew a paper and handed it to her.

Ning Xi lowered his eyes and glanced at it, wiped the water stains on his face with his hands, stood up and said, "I'll go to the bathroom."

In fact, there is a bathroom in the box, and she doesn't really want to go, she just wants to go out to take a breath.

She left the private room in embarrassment, turned and went downstairs, trotted to the parking lot, leaned against the back of a black car, lost her strength, and slid down to sit on the ground, covering her cheeks with her hands.

After calming down for a while, she took out a cigarette and a lighter from her pocket, and after touching it for a long time, she only touched the cigarette, but not the lighter, and then remembered to put it in the office.

She put the cigarette in her mouth, smacking the smell of smoke, and didn't notice that someone was approaching, the shadow of the person was tall, but it was too dark outside, and there was no shadow at all, he leaned over, lit the lighter, and sent it to Ning Xi to light the cigarette.

Ning Xi was so frightened that she picked up her cigarette, and when she looked up, she froze with her mouth open.

Li tired!

Ning Xi's pupils constricted, revealing her surprise and panic at the moment.

Li Ti slowly turned off the lighter and handed it to Ning Si: No or?

Ning Xi choked up for a while, couldn't open his mouth, and had to shake his head. She instinctively hid the cigarette behind her, crushed it with her fingertips and threw it at her feet, standing helplessly like a child caught stealing candy.

It wasn't until she touched the coarse tobacco that she reacted, she and Li Ti have been separated for three years, and she hasn't listened to Li Ti for three years, but it's good to quit smoking, but the smoking addiction is getting heavier and heavier.

Li Ti took out a cigarette from his pocket, stuffed it in his mouth, pressed the lighter, held the flame with his hand, and lit the cigarette.

He shoved the lighter into his pocket. He took a deep breath of cigarette and pulled it out and put it on his fingertips, tilted his head and slowly exhaled the white mist.

He pinched cigarettes with his index finger and thumb with great skill, as if he had smoked for a long time.

Li Ti had never smoked before, when did he learn it? Didn't he hate the smell of smoke the most?

Seeing him smoking so sophisticatedly, Ning Xi's heart contracted for a while, as if it was being tightened and released by an invisible big hand, over and over again.

You...... Ning Xi was dry and spitting words, why did she start smoking?

The white mist shrouded his face, and his voice became not very real, and it was very casual, and he wanted to try it, so he smoked it.

Oh. Ning Xi nodded, licked his dry lips and couldn't help but advise, smoke less, it's not good for your body.

After saying that, she felt that she was doing too much, Li Ti didn't say anything, and glanced at her.

Ning Xi shook off the cigarette in his hand, rubbed his palm lightly, and looked at Li Ti, I went up first.

Ningsi. Li Ti stopped her.

Ning Xi felt like a rusty part, her brain and movements couldn't keep up with the instructions, and she stood still. Watching Li Ti approach, he was reluctant to blink despite the sore pain in his eyes.

She was so scared, as soon as she closed her eyes, Li Ti disappeared from front of her.

Li Ti pinched his eyes, lowered his eyes, and his cold gaze hung down from his thin eyelids, and he spoke slowly: Running again?

I didn't run. Ning Xi's heart suddenly dulled with pain.

Li Ti didn't approach, and the aura on her body was enough to envelop Ning Si, so that she couldn't escape.

In the past, when Li Ti approached, Ning Si would take the initiative to climb his neck. rubbing his cheeks, he was tired of it.

In the past, she really liked the smell of Li Ti's body, but now that she added a little smoke, it stimulated her nerves even more, and she went crazy and wanted to hug him.

It's just that when her eyes touched Li Ti's cold gaze, all bad thoughts were extinguished in her heart.

She didn't dare to look into his eyes, she could only stare at his dark gray coat, when did you come?

Li Ti said: I've been here for a few days.

Ning Xi asked again: Are you on vacation?

He remembered that Li Ti would take a few days off every year, three years ago, they went to Guzhai together for the New Year, and then she went to Hong Kong City, Li Ti went back and forth to Hong Kong City for her in one day or two, just to arrest her.

Li Ti lowered his eyes, his eyelashes blocked the emotions under his eyes, and his voice was calm and unwavering, not counting, come over to participate in an exchange meeting.

Ning Xi listened attentively, this was the bits and pieces she missed in the three years, she was like a studious child, piecing together Li Ti's life in the past three years through a few words.

Promoted?" she asked.

Li Ti nodded, and unconsciously the smoke burned to the end of the cigarette. Li Ti didn't pay attention, it burned to his fingertips, he hissed, threw away the cigarette butt, and his fingertips were burned red in a small piece.

Ning Xi hurriedly said: Hurry up and go in to find cold water to rinse, otherwise it will bubble.

Li Ti stood motionless and stared at Ning Xi indifferently, I can't blister, do you care?

Ning Xi froze in place, his eyes widened and he didn't dare to move.

Ning Si, you don't have anything else to ask me except my job?

His voice grew deeper. Quenched with a layer of ice, Ning Xi had never heard him speak in such a tone before.

So how has he been doing in the past three years?

Ning Xi had a thousand questions to ask, but he didn't dare to ask.

Did you look for me?

Have you put it down?

Have you met anyone else who is tempted?

Did you misunderstand me and Su Qingbai?

What do you want me to ask you?

If three years ago she could indulge unscrupulously in front of him, it was because she was held in the palm of his hand, she could be pampered and proud, but now, three years is not a long time, long enough to start a new relationship, short and short, short enough to forget a memory.

Ning Si kept silent, and in Li Ti's opinion, Ning Si didn't want to ask and didn't care about anything about him.

Li Ti hooked the corners of his mouth, revealing a faint sneer, since you don't have anything to ask me, then I'll ask you.

Ning Si's heart was like a drum, she didn't know what Li Ti would ask, and what time was in her mind and heart.

You...... What are you going to ask? She didn't speak with much confidence.

Li Ti got straight to the point: Why did you leave?

Ning Xi closed her eyes, the pain in her heart was surging, she silently gritted her teeth, swallowed the panic and even guilt, opened her eyes, her eyes were calm, her tone was calm, and she couldn't hear the slightest flaw, she didn't want to make a choice.

Actually, it's not true, but it's probably the most peaceful way to say it, and it's easy to accept.

Make a choice? Li Ti asked, who let you make a choice.

Ning Si was silent.

Li Ti laughed, a little angry, the result he wanted was coming, far beyond his expectations.

Ning Xi said: I don't want you to choose between me and your family, no matter what the result is, the result is cruel.

Li Ti was laughed angrily, he stared at Ning Xi viciously, eager to see her out of a hole, cruel, so you chose to give up on me?

Ning Xi's heart was shocked, she wanted to say no, this was not what she wanted, but what she did was like this, she had nothing to justify.

Ning Xi lowered his head, and regarded it as a tacit.

Li Ti took a deep breath and lowered his eyes to look at the hand hanging down at her side, his middle finger was clean and there were no ring marks, and the black ring on his ring finger was extremely eye-catching. He stared at it for a long time, and gradually regained his composure, since he gave up, why didn't he wash the ring?

They all broke up, and they still have traces of him, aren't you afraid that they won't explain.

Ning Xi whispered: I'm afraid of pain.

If she really washes it, it hurts not her flesh, but her heart, and she will die.

Li Ti admitted that when he heard her words, his heart was about to die, and he had no choice but to rush up and cover this woman's mouth. Tell her to stop saying anything he doesn't want to hear.

After all, he still didn't do that.

Because he suddenly recognized the reality, for three years, the pointer kept moving forward, and everyone was running forward, while he dragged a relationship to stay in place and walk alone.

He took a deep breath and went wash it. And the one on your wrist is also washed.

Ning Xi refused this time and said: No. I want to keep it.

Li Ti glanced at her, don't keep it, I don't like that my ex-girlfriend still has my mark on her.

Ex-girlfriend.

Ning Xi clutched her palms tightly, and she pinched the flesh with her fingertips. so that he will not faint because of sadness.

She plucked up the courage to look up at him: Do you hate me?

Li Ti glanced at her, as soon as you left, I wanted me to see you again, I had to beat you.

Ning Xi was stunned for a moment when he heard this, as if he was waiting for his next sentence, Li Ti smiled and reconciled himself, forget it, it's all over. There's no need for it.

He bent down to pick up the cigarette butt and threw it to the side of the trash can, and when he saw the crumpled tobacco at Ning Xi's feet, his eyes trembled, no one will care about you smoking in the future, so let's smoke less.

Ning Xi took a step back, like a child who did something wrong, I will ...... in the future Never smoke again.

Li Ti straightened up, pinched the cigarette butt and lowered his eyes, and after a while, he raised his eyes to look at Ning Xi, is the ring still there?

Ning Xi was stunned for a moment and nodded: It's still there.

Li Ti said: Then you can give it back to me.
