Chapter VI
The computer slowly lit up, Jiang Yuxi looked at the screen that was turning on, and began to think about something.
The biggest disadvantage of being a teacher is that the salary is small, when she was in college, the teacher who taught Mandarin once said that the biggest feature of the teaching profession is that the poor are not rich and poor, sometimes she even thinks, just like this, if there is no income from writing novels, is it a long time ago.
Thinking of the salary, Jiang Yuxi began to envy Shen Feibai again.
She was in the same class as Scarlet High School, and later she was admitted to the same university, and she also graduated from the normal major, but now she drives a Porsche and lives in a high-level house, but she is struggling to live with such a small salary.
But who let the family graduate from the normal school, but have the courage to work hard in the magazine, he doesn't have that kind of courage.
The fingers placed in the sensing area paused, thinking of professionalism, Jiang Yuxi's eyes slowly became dim, and then she interrupted her thoughts, forcing herself to focus on the screen and start updating today's chapter.
Typing a few words, deleting them, typing a few more words, deleting them again, and after a few minutes, the document was still blank.
Jiang Yuxi snapped and closed the computer, took out his mobile phone to log in to the web page, typed a line in the author's words box to apologize to the reader, and then explained that he had something to do tonight, so he couldn't update.
The notebook was closed, and even the music in the computer stopped, and the room became quiet, only the slight sound of the air conditioner running, but Jiang Yuxi felt irritable and unpleasant, so he put down his mobile phone, grabbed the pillow at hand and threw it towards the opposite wall.
The pillow rubbed the cute pink wallpaper to the ground, painted with the cartoon rabbit side up, and the little rabbit pouted slightly, as if to accuse the owner of the ruthlessness.
At this moment, the mobile phone screen lit up, Jiang Yuxi looked down, it was a text message from Xiao Cheng, and in the gray dialog box, there were only two simple words, good night.
This text message calmed Jiang Yuxi, she held her phone, slowly reddened her eyes, and finally rolled up in the quilt, falling into a deep sleep in her memories.
In the dream, she was still the little girl who was just beginning to fall in love, praying for long hair and waist, and falling in love with the young man here.
Except for receiving a goodnight text message from Xiao Cheng every night, Jiang Yuxi's life is as usual.
Just like before the party, there were no years in Xiao Cheng's life, and everything like this made Shen Feibai feel a little relieved, and she secretly thought that perhaps, the tears that night were really the end.
The days passed day by day, and in a blink of an eye, it was Saturday, and when the light of the morning sun was sprinkled, Jiang Yuxi had already embarked on the high-speed train to Qinshi.
Sitting in the quiet and spacious carriage, she remembered the past.
Eight years ago, she also sat in the carriage like this, going to a strange city far away from her parents and Xiao Cheng, the unknown college life made her nervous, and the major she had to choose made her sad, those pasts were the most torturous years of her life.
Dad's face changed a lot overnight, the cold lights in the light therapy room, the worry in Mom's eyes, and Xiao Cheng's tone when he said he broke up...... Unbearable memories flashed through his mind one by one, and Jiang Yuxi once again understood that there are some things that can be forgotten without mentioning them.
The pain of eight years ago pressed down on the bottom of her heart, just like her resentment towards Xiao Cheng back then, which was so clear that she wanted to go crazy.
The music coming from the headphones was able to stabilize the heart that was no longer calm, Jiang Yuxi may not realize that after Xiao Cheng appeared, she would always recall the past from time to time.
Eight years ago, when she sat alone in the carriage, she also had the luxury of hoping that one day, he would appear in front of her again, holding up a sky for herself, covering her shoulders from the wind and rain.
Extravagant hopes are just extravagant hopes after all, eight years have passed in a flash, and time has told her with actions what it means to be an idiot talking about dreams.
These days, she often thinks that maybe she shouldn't go to see Xiao Cheng, then her heart will be as relaxed as ever, and she won't be tied up by anything, but now it's okay, when hope turns into despair, there will be no more expectations, naturally, there will be no more disappointment.
She hates disappointment the most.
One of her favorite authors once said that men are creatures like wine, and it's normal to have two sips of hello, but if you can't live without him, then this life will be over.
She is only twenty-six years old, and she still has a lot of time in her life waiting for her to enjoy, and she doesn't want it to be over.
So for love, it's better to stay away.
"Hello, do you need red wine?"
Interrupted by a refreshing and nice female voice, Jiang Yuxi raised her head and saw the female flight attendant holding two glasses of red wine standing in front of her, smiling sweetly, she was slightly stunned, and then remembered that she was sitting in a business seat with free red wine, not the second class eight years ago.
The delicate facial features and bright smile in front of him made Jiang Yuxi's voice softer, "No need, thank you." ”
She is always very friendly to beautiful girls, because her beautiful face makes her pleasing to the eye.
But she doesn't like red wine, and she can't get used to it, eight years ago she was a mediocre person with Sprite with hot pot, and eight years later she was a layman with hot pot with beer, and eight years of time failed to let her learn to be noble and elegant, and learn to talk and laugh like a scarlet wine glass with a goblet.
Maybe she is destined to be a layman.
The female flight attendant had already left, and Jiang Yuxi, who had seen the beauty, was in a little better mood, she took out her mobile phone and changed herself to a gentle tune, and then leaned on the comfortable and soft back of the chair to close her eyes and recuperate.
The road to Qin City is a bit far, but sleep is the best way to pass the time, and when Jiang Yuxi woke up, the news that the train was about to enter the station had already begun to be broadcast on the loudspeaker.
Walking out of the carriage, the unfamiliar breath greeted her, looking at the sea of people, she chuckled, sure enough, she still likes the scenery of her hometown.
Walking towards the exit of the station according to the signs, in the vast crowd, Jiang Yuxi saw a back that looked like Xiao Cheng, shook her head that was still a little confused, she was laughing at her daydream, and her mobile phone rang.
"I just got out of the car and came out right away. Jiang Yuxi picked up Jiang Yao's phone, and the familiar voice made her find a sense of belonging, "Mmmm, okay." ”
hung up the phone, pushed the suitcase and continued to walk out, and at the exit of the station, she recognized Jiang Yao's figure at a glance.
"Barrister, long wait!"
Jiang Yuxi stopped in front of Jiang Yao and smiled brightly.
Jiang Yao took the suitcase in her hand, and a smile also appeared on his face, "Great writer, long time no see!"
Hearing this title, Jiang Yuxi remembered her first acquaintance with Jiang Yao, five years ago, she had not yet graduated, and she met Jiang Yao because of a plagiarism dispute, Jiang Yao was very enthusiastic about himself, not only helped him settle the case, but also helped himself everywhere, now that he thinks about it, he has long had bad intentions towards Scarlet White.
And I was stained with crimson light, and once I got it, it was five years.
Letting Jiang Yao take the lever of the suitcase from his hand, Jiang Yuxi was not polite to him, touched her stomach, and asked with a smile, "Where are we going to have lunch?"
I went out early today, and in order to let my mother have a good rest, she didn't wake up my mother, and I made do with bread and milk oats for breakfast, and now I'm a little hungry.
"I'm afraid not now, I have to wait for two people. Knowing her food-loving nature, Jiang Yao smiled helplessly.
Jiang Yuxi was stunned for a moment, then turned his head and asked, "You still have an appointment?"
"My cousin and a friend are coming today, and for the sake of convenience, I specially asked them to book tickets for the same time as you. ”
Speaking of his cousin, Jiang Yao thought with some emotion, Yu Xi and his cousin are quite similar, both of them have a person who has no news in their hearts, they can't ask for it, and they can't let it go.
At this moment, he suddenly felt that he might be able to complete the task given to him by his aunt, what if his cousin and Yuxi Wang Ba looked at mung beans like this?
Human feelings are sometimes so ghostly.
When Xiao Cheng and Qi Xin appeared in front of Jiang Yuxi and Jiang Yao in casual clothes, Jiang Yao believed in his feelings even more, because Jiang Yuxi actually knew his cousin, that is, Xiao Cheng.
When the four of them sat in the restaurant together, Jiang Yao and Qi Xin sighed in their hearts that this world is so small.
And Xiao Cheng was glad that he agreed to his mother to come to Qin City to play for a day, his mother was changing the way to let him go on a blind date, he was originally unhappy, but he couldn't stand his mother's nagging, so he came to deal with business, but he didn't expect to see Xixi, it was really unexpected.
Ignoring the thoughts of the three people, as the only lady among the four, Jiang Yuxi flipped through the menu as a matter of course and prepared to order.
She was still thinking that she was not comfortable eating with strangers, but she didn't expect that the people Jiang Yao was waiting for were Xiao Cheng and Qi Xin, and Jiang Yao was still Xiao Cheng's cousin, since everyone was an acquaintance, she didn't have to be restrained.
What's more, in front of Xiao Cheng and Qi Xin, she doesn't want to maintain her so-called demeanor at all.
The efficiency of the restaurant is very high, the food comes up quickly, looking at the plates of brightly colored dishes, Qi Xin grinds his teeth fiercely, Jiang Yuxi is simply targeting him, knowing that he doesn't eat spicy, he still orders so many Sichuan dishes.
Seeing Qi Xin's unspeakable bitterness, Jiang Yuxi smiled in his heart, the two of them didn't like each other eight years ago, and they still hated each other eight years later.
Xiao Cheng looked at Jiang Yuxi's smile, the whole person felt satisfied, and he had long lost the heart to care about what to eat, and in the end, Jiang Yao couldn't stand Qi Xin's spicy appearance, and asked the waiter to add a few non-spicy dishes to save Qi Xin's poor tongue and stomach.
After a morning on the high-speed train, the three of them were hungry, so they didn't talk too much, they ate, and in line with the principle that the daughter-in-law's girlfriends should take good care of them, Jiang Yao ordered desserts for Jiang Yuxi very intimately.
The three people around were all acquaintances, and there was no need for Fan to socialize or anything, after the leftovers on the table were cleaned up by the waiter, Jiang Yuxi put down the paper towel in his hand, looked at the traffic outside the window, and quietly waited for his beloved dessert to be served on the table, and then feasted.
