Jiang Jinchen smiled at Chang Xingwei, then got up and walked in the direction of the bathroom. Chang Xing stayed in his seat alone, and he didn't know what to do, so he looked sideways out of the glass window and enjoyed the view of the city.

"Luckily. A clear voice sounded behind her.

Chang Xing turned around and saw a tall woman standing in front of her seat.

Dressed in a neat and neat black suit, the simple design perfectly modifies her bumpy figure, shoulder-length slightly curly long hair, exuding the temperament and fashion of urban women, beautiful facial features and exquisite makeup, unconsciously attracting the attention of others, but the slightly cold and distant expression on her face is prohibitive.

Chang Xing recognized the person at a glance and exclaimed in surprise, "Sister Ning, why are you here?"

Xu Weining is a neighbor of Chang Xing's place where he lived from elementary school to high school, three years older than Chang Xing, although he looks cold and not easy to get close to, but he is one of Chang Xing's favorite people in his heart, Xu Weining is not only a friend to Chang Xing, but also a sister-like existence. Therefore, although Chang Xing's family later moved out of that residence, Chang Xing did not cut off contact with Xu Weining, although Chang Xing took the initiative to contact Xu Weining many times.

"Make an appointment with a client here. Xu Weining simply answered, glanced in the direction Jiang Jinchen left, and asked, "That person is Jiang Jinchen." ”

Chang Xing nodded, "Yes, Sister Ning, do you remember her too?"

Xu Weining glanced at her, and said in a cold tone: "Thanks to you, I have heard you read your friendship for three years, and my ears have been cocooned, and it is difficult to remember." Didn't she go abroad?"

"Well, she went to England for two years to further her studies, came back three months ago, and asked me out for a meeting today. Chang Xing's eyes were full of envy, and he continued: "Jin Chen has opened an art school now, and he is still the principal of it, which is amazing. ”

Compared with his ordinariness, Chang Xing felt a little inferior, looked up at Xu Weining and said with a smile: "She, like Sister Ning, is a beautiful and powerful strong woman." ”

Xu Weining sneered lightly, "What's the use of being a woman beautiful, it's just a burden in life, and it's just an obstacle to recognize the true face of a man." Why do you envy her? She just has more beauty, a good family background, a smart head, and more city and human skills than you. There are many beautiful and powerful women in the world, and there is not one more of them. Rather than associating with someone who hides his sincerity everywhere, I'd rather choose you, a fool who can see through at a glance. ”

Chang Xing couldn't cry or laugh, Sister Ning was comforting her or belittling her even more. However, Sister Ning still seems to have the same attitude as in the past - her tone always clearly reveals her rejection of Jiang Jinchen.

Chang Xing smiled lightly: "Sister Ning, why don't you like her?"

Xu Weining raised his eyebrows disdainfully, his beautiful eyes half-narrowed, "There is no reason, if you don't like it, you don't like it." ”

"She's always been the most popular person in school. Speaking of which, it seems that she has never heard of anyone who hates Jiang Jinchen, and even the girls get along well with her.

A hint of sarcasm flashed in his clear black eyes, and Xu Weining said in a cold tone: "That kind of person is the best at acting and knows how to deceive, you are careful when this kind of person stabs you in the back, and you don't know how you died." ”

Stunned by Xu Weining's cold words and serious expression, Chang Xing came back to his senses after a while, and said with a smile: "Sister Ning, she is not as bad as you say, when I was studying before, she took good care of me." ”

Xu Weining snorted, she neatly put on her bag, looked down at her watch, and said, "I don't have time to discuss with you here about a woman I hate, I'm leaving." Remember to call me if you have something, don't bother me if it's okay. ”

"I see. ”

Chang Xing smiled warmly, she knew that Xu Weining was a typical hard-mouthed and soft-hearted person, and she always said that she was troublesome, but in the end she was the one who helped her. Xu Weining never beats around the bush when she speaks, she never hides it if she doesn't like anyone, so Chang Xing knows that she doesn't have many friends, but those who really know Xu Weining will know how good she is.

Xu Weining nodded, turned around and left.

After Xu Weining left, more than ten minutes later, Jiang Jinchen still did not come back. Chang Xing looked at her watch, thinking that her father would have to go to the unit to go through the formalities in a while, and she was not at ease about leaving her mother alone at home. After thinking for a moment, Chang Xing still got up and walked to the bathroom.

When she walked into the bathroom, Jiang Jinchen was leaning slightly in front of the sink to talk on the phone, her eyebrows twisted slightly, as if she was a little annoyed.

"I'm sorry, I know it's my bad, but I have my reasons. Jiang Jinchen raised her hand, pressed her index finger lightly on her temple, paused for a moment, and she sighed softly, "It's not that I don't tell you, it's just that I really don't know what to say." Don't blame me, okay?"

Jiang Jinchen has a haughty personality, Chang Xing rarely heard her speak softly with a little coquettish tone like this, guessing that she might be talking to her boyfriend, Chang Xing didn't want to disturb him, so he wanted to quit first.

At this moment, someone walked to the sink, Jiang Jinchen stood up straight and walked to the other side. Raised his eyes by chance and found Chang Xing standing at the door, Jiang Jinchen's eyes flashed, nodded to Chang Xing, then held the phone and whispered: "Let's do this first, I still have something to do here, I'll call you later." ”

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Jinchen walked up to Chang Xing and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, fortunately, I made you wait so long." ”

"It's okay. Chang Xing hurriedly waved his hand, "I should have said sorry for disturbing your conversation." Is that your boyfriend?"

"Well, a friend. Jiang Jinchen smiled faintly, lightly touched the topic, and said, "Do you have any arrangements for today?" If you are free, I will invite you to a meal at noon. I know there's a place where French food is very good, so let's go with it. ”

Chang Xing was a little embarrassed and said: "I have to go back to take care of my mother today, and I don't feel at ease if she stays at home alone." I'm sorry. ”

"Silly Ayuki, I'm sorry for what you said. Jiang Jinchen smiled understandingly, "Of course, Auntie's body is important, and we can get together at any time." Let's go, my car is downstairs, just in time to send you back. ”

Sending Chang Xing home, Jiang Jinchen also went to visit Chang Xing's mother, before leaving, she left her mobile phone number for Chang Xing, and after making an appointment to contact again, she hurriedly drove away.

......

Chang Xing is at home to take care of his mother, and Chang's father can also go back to the unit to deal with work matters with peace of mind, and he will not come back until the evening.

Chang Xing boiled the millet porridge prepared for his mother, and when he saw that his mother was still sleeping, he packed it in a thermos flask and put it in the kitchen. Seeing that it was still early, she picked up her bag and went to the pharmacy that was still open.

An hour later, she was already carrying a large bag of medicinal herbs for dietary therapy and supplementation, and several books on myocardial infarction were also in her bag.

The alleys are quiet, except for the occasional sound of a family laughing from the houses on both sides of the road, mixed with the faint sound of television, and the faint smell of rice wafting in the air. Through those windows, she can occasionally see those homes, or the big and small gathered together in the living room to watch TV, or the family of three eating in the kitchen, or the young wife washing the dishes while her husband helps her dry and clean the dishes.

Everything is so ordinary, yet quietly beautiful.

Chang Xing smiled lightly and withdrew his gaze and continued to walk forward. She hopes that one day, she can also form a warm little family with her beloved like this, even if there is only the most simple and ordinary happiness, it is the greatest happiness in her life.

A faint and subtle emotion floated in his heart, and he suddenly wanted to hear Hua Ruoquan's voice, Chang Xing gradually slowed down, took out his mobile phone, and dialed his number.

The phone rang twice, and Chang Xing suddenly thought that Hua Ruoquan said that he had something to deal with in the morning, and he was afraid that it would affect him, so Chang Xing quickly interrupted the phone.

Exhaled softly, I heard the phone ringing, looking at the number on it, Chang Xing hurriedly picked up the phone and whispered, "Hey, Ah Quan?"

"Hmm. Hua Ruoquan answered quietly, "You called me just now?"

"Ah, yes. ”

"What's the matter?"

"It's nothing important. Chang Xing answered the words, and his thin skin turned red.

Calling him, just because of the impulse of the moment in the warm atmosphere, she didn't think about what to say, and now when she asked, she didn't know how to answer.

Chang Xing stopped, habitually wanting to touch his ears, and when he raised his hand, he realized that he was still carrying a heavy bag in his hand. Feeling that he was too nervous, Chang Xing coughed twice, cleared his throat and said, "That, Ah Quan, my mother has been discharged from the hospital, and she and my father have been urging me to go." I'm going to take care of her for another two days and then go back first. ”

"If you want to spend more time with them, it's okay, you tell Aunt Chang that if it's a matter at work, I'll be in charge, so she doesn't have to worry. ”

This has been the case since she was a child, he always exists by her side like an omnipotent protector, which makes her extremely relieved, Chang Xing smiled lightly: "I know, thank you Ah Quan." But I've been on leave for a week, so I'm embarrassed to ask for more. Taking care of my parents is not a matter of one or two days, and I plan to come back every two weeks in the future to spend more time with them. ”

"That's fine, if you need help, just let me know. ”

Hua Ruoquan's voice is neither high nor low, as clean and light as his people, and when he hears the sound, it seems that the calm lake is slightly rippling, which makes people feel excited.

"Hmm. ”

After saying that, both of them were silent for a long time. Chang Xing held the mobile phone, listening to Hua Ruoquan's quiet breathing on the other end of the phone, after more than 20 years of intersection, Chang Xing noticed the subtle changes in Hua Ruoquan's mood, and asked in a low voice: "Ah Quan, are you in a bad mood?"

Hua Ruoquan laughed lightly, he didn't answer directly, but said: "Actually, I was about to call you just now, but I didn't expect you to call first." ”

Chang Xing blushed and laughed twice.

After a moment of silence, Hua Ruoquan suddenly said, "I want to see you." ”

Chang Xing was not mentally prepared, and almost choked on his own saliva when he heard this. She knew what Hua Ruoquan wanted, she just wanted to find a friend, but after all, she had "ill intentions" towards Hua Ruoquan, and any ambiguous words of Hua Ruoquan would have a different meaning in her ears. Chang Xing could only stammer: "I...... Me too. ”

The hand holding the plastic bag tightened, and her heartbeat involuntarily accelerated, and before she could react, Hua Ruoquan threw down another one*, "Fortunately, do you like me?"

The bag in her hand fell to the ground in response, Chang Xing hurriedly squatted down to pick up the medicine bag that had fallen out, and the hand holding the mobile phone trembled uncontrollably, she snorted: "Ah Quan, why did you say it suddenly...... Speaking of which, didn't you ask that day?"

Hua Ruoquan said in a low voice: "I want to know the real answer." ”

I don't know why Hua Ruoquan is so depressed today. He never forced her, but now the feeling of pressure transmitted through her mobile phone made her almost unable to breathe normally.

A strange atmosphere flowed between each other.

Hua Ruoquan didn't speak, Chang Xing was even more nervous, sorted out all the objects scattered on the ground, she slowly stood up, took a deep breath, pressed her hand on her chest with a disordered heartbeat, released all her courage, and said in a low voice: "...... Yes, I like you. ”

As soon as she finished saying this, a person suddenly appeared in front of her, and then her body was hugged into a warm embrace, Chang Xing almost screamed in fright, but was stunned on the spot when she smelled the familiar and fresh smell.

In any case, she didn't expect Hua Ruoquan, who had just spoken to her on the phone, to appear in front of her.

“...... Ah Quan?" Chang Xing tried to look up at him from Hua Ruoquan's arms.

Hua Ruoquan's cold handsome face was a smile as light as a breeze, but I don't know why, Chang Xing always felt that there was a faint sadness hidden in that smile.

Hua Ruoquan closed his eyes, held the back of Chang Xing's head, pressed it lightly on his chest, and said in a low voice: "Don't move, let me hold it for a while." ”

Hearing this, Chang Xing stopped moving, but slowly raised his hand with some hesitation and stroked his back. The warm palm passed through his clothes, conveying her warmth and care.

Under the dim yellow street lamp, there were only two people quietly embracing each other, and a long, dark shadow being stretched on the ground. After a long time, Chang Xing heard Hua Ruoquan whispering in her ear: "Then let's be together." ”

Chang Xing suddenly looked like a piece of wood and was stunned on the ground.
