Limped open the door, Ji Ran was almost dragged to the ground by the pain from her knees when she bent down her shoes, and she held on to the cabinet

I just found a comfortable position one second, and the doorbell rang the next second, Ji Ran slowly jumped to open the door a little helplessly, and as soon as he opened the door, Jiang Qiu's loud voice came in:

"Why did you suddenly stop making a sound just now......" As he spoke, his head came in and saw Ji Ran limping back, and the complaints in his mouth turned into a "".

Liang Xia in the back pushed him, jumped in first, and was also surprised when he saw Ji Ran, followed Ji Ran's steps, and after sitting down, he stretched out his hand and poked her somewhat red and swollen face, hearing Ji Ran gasp, his brows furrowed slightly.

"What's the situation?"

"Provoked a little rabbit cub. ”

"I think you should resign early, change the platform, or change the group, run some light news, and don't suffer this kind of crime. ”

Jiang Qiu, who came up, couldn't help but say. It is no exaggeration to say that in the past four years, Ji Ran has run through the news of all sizes, and has seen a lot of warmth, light and darkness, and even today's injury to the arm and leg is not the first time.

Jiang Qiu has always been in a state of lack of roots and tendons in front of his friends, just like now, before the ideas that came out of his mind were spit out by him:

"I said Lao Ji, don't you still think that you can rely on your identity as a reporter to find clues about your brother. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Liang Xia glanced at him fiercely, and Jiang Qiu, who knew that he was speechless, smiled awkwardly.

As long as people who are familiar with Ji Ran know that Ji Ran's brother Ji Kaiyu is a topic that is best not to mention, this is a knot in Ji Ran's heart, she can talk about her parents who died unexpectedly fifteen years ago, but Ji Kaiyu has always been her heart knot.

After all, if you disappear for no reason, and there are no clues, it won't be too easy to leave it on anyone, even if time wears away a lot of unwillingness and pain, there will always be some scars.

"We're still going to ask you to renew the stall, Jiang Qiu knocked on which popular little flower again, and said that it was all inclusive today, but it seems that you can only have a good rest today. ”

Liang Xia diverted the topic, opened Ji Ran's medicine box familiarly, sprayed her with a plaster that was injured by bruises, poured water, looked at Ji Ran, who looked more depressed after mentioning Ji Kaiyu, and pulled Jiang Qiu.

"Then we'll go first, and we'll see you tomorrow. ”

Ji Ran showed a smile, watched them leave, stayed for a moment, turned her eyes to the room on the left, looked at the closed doorknob, she walked over slowly, her head resting on the door, and she was a little hesitant in her heart.

This is her brother's room, and it still remains the same, Ji Ran rarely stepped into it during these days, and has been carefully closing the memories in the door.

She hesitated at the door, shook her head, and then turned and walked into her room.

There are a lot of things scattered on the wall in front of the desk, the most conspicuous is the calendar with red crosses drawn one after another, Ji Ran picked up the red pen on the side casually, put a cross on today's date, and sat down in a depressed mood.

"Another day when nothing was found. ”

As she thought, she opened the drawer in front of her and pulled out the photo that had been placed directly above. The photo is a family of four, smiling at the camera, Ji Ran wiped the thin dust falling on the photo with his hand, and muttered to himself:

"I'm the only one left. ”

***

Ji Ran reported the results to the director, and when she handed in the press release, her staggering appearance attracted Liang Qiong's attention, and she stared at Ji Ran in a strange posture.

"Are you in any trouble?"

"It's not this news, it's a personal vendetta. ”

Liang Qiong still had some doubts in her heart, but it was not her style to get to the bottom of it, she motioned for Ji Ran to sit down, and then began to carefully browse the document that the other party had just sent.

"OK, no problem. ”

Ji Ran, who heard that there was no need to change, breathed a sigh of relief. She closed the notebook, signaled to Liang Qiong, and was about to leave, but Liang Qiong opened her mouth immediately:

"I seem to have killed you a lot of topics recently, are you unhappy?"

"It's okay. ”

Qiao Ran turned his pen and replied briefly.

"It's not that I think your idea is bad, but if you want to dig up some news, it's very risky, and you're young now, so you can't see what's at stake, and I don't want you to do useless work. ”

"Yes, I see. ”

Qiao Ran stopped turning his pen, looked at Liang Qiong sincerely, and smiled.

"Okay, then you go to work. ”

Although the words were spoken, whether Qiao Ran listened to it or not, Liang Qiong herself was not sure, but she also reminded her that she should be reminded, and it seems that Qiao Ran will not continue to make any moves if she presses it, so it's okay.

As soon as she left the office, she saw Hong Qi, an intern at the newspaper, standing in her place with some trepidation.

"Changed the draft?"

She put down the notebook and asked casually, the other party nodded, Ji Ran sighed, opened the notebook, and opened the document he transmitted.

Hong Qi hesitated for a moment, but finally couldn't help asking:

"Senior, the news we ran together last time, the developer really asked me to pick it?"

"Yes, isn't it all settled?" Ji Ran didn't raise his head, and quickly scanned the documents on the screen.

"But I don't have much experience. ”

"It's not a problem," she said, she had finished reading the document, turned her chair to face Hong Qi: "I can only say that it is a good opportunity, after you do it well, it will be a stepping stone to your path as a journalist, can't you do it without experience?" ”

Seeing that the other party was still hesitant, Ji Ran sighed in her heart, she hadn't brought many interns, and this time it was also because of the assignment of the editor-in-chief, so she took Hong Qi to run a few news, and by the way, she drew one for him to follow.

It's just that she really didn't expect that she felt that this was an opportunity, but it seemed to be a lot of pressure for Hong Qi.

"That's it, you follow first, you can ask me if you have questions, but can you think about it yourself?"

Saying that, she took the pen and gently pointed to the location of the other party's heart: "It's not too difficult, don't trust one side or the other, the news can save people or kill people, so stay neutral and be cautious." ”

"If it's okay, get back to work. ”

***

Ji Ran, who worked overtime until he was dizzy, took a subway and went straight to the supper stall he was used to, and when the proprietress looked up and saw her, her eyes narrowed into a slit, and her mouth was familiar with it.

"The girl is working overtime again?"

Ji Ran looked at the bubbling skewers on the barbecue grill and snorted. During the chat, he quickly picked up his supper and handed it over with a smile.

"Take the beer yourself. ”

"Okay. Ji Ran jumped to the freezer, pulled out a bottle of snowflakes, and when he reflexively went to grab the bottle opener on the small table next door, his eyes inadvertently swept over the people sitting there, and he suddenly felt different from usual.

There are all kinds of people in the food stalls, and Ji Ran has not seen a man who is wearing a suit after work, drinking beer and eating skewers and discussing life loudly, but she has never met someone who can wear formal clothes so well in a food stall, especially, it is someone she has seen.

She stared with interest at Bai Xingchen, who was sitting a few steps away from her, as if he was a little hot, and the white shirt on his body was restlessly unbuttoned, a little more messy and casual than the last time they met. And now he was slowly rolling up the sleeves of his shirt, showing his forearms with obvious muscular lines a little, and in the noisy environment around him, his expression did not show a trace of impatience.

Tsk, with a luxurious calm.

Ji Ran thought about it, turned around and smoked a bottle of beer, and walked over.

"Hey, do you mind sharing a table?"

Bai Xingchen, who was interrupted from his movements, raised his head, and his originally frowning brows suddenly relaxed when he saw Ji Ran, and even showed a smile, like the light that suddenly broke through the clouds in the snowstorm, which made Ji Ran stunned.

"Sit down. ”

Ji Ran came back to his senses and sat down gracefully, glanced at the table casually, and quickly filled the cup in front of Bai Xingchen.

"By the way, I don't seem to have officially introduced myself, my name is Ji Ran. ”

Ji Ran stretched out his hand, and Bai Xingchen shook it cooperatively: "Bai Xingchen." ”

"I didn't expect to meet you here. ”

"Come over today to talk about something. ”

Looking at the cup that Ji Ran stretched out, Bai Xingchen bent the corners of his mouth and touched the cup, looking at Ji Ran staring at him with a smile on his face, Bai Xingchen involuntarily touched his face:

"What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, just the last time I met it, I always felt like a big person, and it was a little disobedient to appear here. ”

"People always have to eat. ”

Ji Ran nodded: "It makes sense. ”

"It's so late, do you just get off work?"

"That's right," Ji Ran bit the cup and replied, suddenly remembered something, put his hand in his pocket and fumbled for a while, and took out a business card that was a little creased on the surface because he had put it for some time, wiped the corners of the roll up with his hand, and then handed it over with a little satisfaction.

"I seem to have forgotten to tell you, I'm a journalist, this is a business card, maybe you need me to help me a little at any time, I remember that I owe you a lot of favors. ”

Bai Xingchen heard him say this, reached out and took it, and put it in the pocket of his suit properly.

"It's not a big deal. ”

"Don't," Ji Ran smiled, with some gratitude: "It's a great favor for me." But I really have a doubt. ”

"Huh?" Bai Xingchen met her gaze, Ji Ran had obvious doubts in his eyes, and he looked at her so fixedly, the street lamp next to her reflected in her eyes, and the sparkling was a little bright.

"I always feel like you know me. ”

Ji Ran looked at Bai Xingchen motionless as he spoke, trying to see something from his subconscious expression. The first time she met that day, when she remembered it again, Bai Xingchen's eyes when she looked at her later always made her feel like this. It's just that Ji Ran knows very well that before this, he has definitely not seen each other.

She believed in people's knee-jerk reactions, but Bai Xingchen's performance was too calm, and he didn't say a word, and then he looked at her calmly.

"Okay. Ji Ran smiled and clinked glasses with him, casually hummed, 'Maybe I felt wrong', and drank the rest of the beer with a grin.

Bai Xingchen looked at her quietly, made the same movement when Ji Ran picked up the wine glass, closed his eyes by swallowing, and suppressed the tangles and guilt that welled up in his heart.

"To be honest, I really didn't expect to see each other again in this situation, I thought it was fate. ”

In fact, how can there be so many Pingshui encounters, and if they can meet again, most of them are intentional by one party, Bai Xingchen silently followed in his heart.
