At the intersection of traffic lights, the endless stream of vehicles stopped one after another, Chen Fangning looked sideways at Qi Xiaoran, when the yellow Maserati drove over just now, she also noticed the two people sitting in the back seat, but because the road conditions were complicated, she had to concentrate on driving, so she kept silent.

She took a deep breath, looked at Qi Xiaoran's eyes with deep guilt, and hesitated to speak: "Xiao Ran ......"

Qi Xiaoran heard her voice, turned her head to look at her stiffly, her slightly open lips slowly closed, and she sipped it lightly, she had thousands of question marks in her heart, was that really An Qing? Why did Xiang Nuanyang and An Qing be together? Do they know each other? How long have they known each other?

But her throat seemed to be filled with lead, and all these questions were blocked in her throat, and she could not say a word.

"Actually, my cousin ......" Chen Fangning scratched her head irritably, glanced at the bright red light at this time out of the corner of her eye, gritted her teeth, and said: "Actually, my cousin and An Qing have known each other for a long time, and the two of them have known each other since they were very young, and their relationship has always been good." ”

"It's a small hair, just like the one you asked me before...... Du Shengrui is about the same relationship. ”

"When I was in college, I also thought about telling you, but at that time, An Qing had already gone abroad, and she was so decisive that I thought she wouldn't come back, so I kept it a secret and didn't tell you. ”

She closed her eyes and finished all in one breath, and her breath was not very stable after speaking, and while she was slowing down, she was anxiously waiting for Qi Xiaoran's reaction.

By the time the countdown to the red light ended, the vehicle in front had already driven some distance, and the owner of the car parked behind them pressed the horn impatiently, but Qi Xiaoran did not respond at all.

Chen Fangning sighed, stepped on the accelerator, the engine made a dull sound, and the car rushed out like an arrow from the string.

Qi Xiaoran didn't know how to react, her mood at this time was complicated, such an unexpected thing suddenly appeared in front of her eyes, her brain was blank, and she couldn't think at all.

An Qing was her high school classmate and her best friend. However, because they were friends, Fu Yun was finally in a car accident. She couldn't forgive herself, not only because Fu Yun was injured to save herself, but also because An Qing left that year.

Chen Fangning parked the car in the parking lot, and saw that Qi Xiaoran's whole person was already in a sluggish state, and called her several times in a row before she looked at herself sluggishly.

After returning to the apartment, Qi Xiaoran sat quietly on the sofa, facing the balcony, his knees bent, his hands wrapped around his bent legs, his back slightly arched, his eyes were godless and tearless, so he silently stared at the endless night outside the balcony without saying a word.

She sat on the sofa for a long time, until Chen Fangning asked her to take a bath, she made a move, obediently took a change of clothes and went to the bath.

And so it was after that, let her eat, and she ate, and let her sleep, and she slept.

Chen Fangning had seen her state of being distracted a long time ago, and whenever Qi Xiaoran had something on her mind, she would hide all the problems in her heart and refuse to say it. When she encounters an emotion that she can't resolve, she will go out of her mind for several days on end, until she gives up some kind of persistence, and then she will return to normal.

Seeing her like this, Chen Fangning felt a sense of frustration and powerlessness that "the plan can't catch up with the changes".

The next morning, Chen Fangning was woken up by the alarm clock at the head of the bed, and when she woke up rubbing her eyes, she saw that Qi Xiaoran next to her was still maintaining the posture she had before going to bed last night, the whites of her eyes were not red and bloodshot, and her face was even more tired.

"Xiao Ran, do you want to ask for leave?" she watched Qi Xiao Ran get up from the bed and walk to the bathroom with weak steps, so she couldn't help but speak, although she knew very well that Qi Xiao Ran would not listen to her words.

After Qi Xiaoran finished washing, he changed his clothes and went out, and when he went out, he didn't say hello to Chen Fangning as usual.

On the bridge in the early morning, the dry autumn wind blew, and she felt a little cold, so she subconsciously grabbed the sides of the brown knitted cardigan and pulled it to the middle.

"Early. ”

A familiar voice came from behind her, and she paused for half a second, gritted her teeth, and continued to walk forward pretending not to hear.

Xiang Nuanyang stood behind her, less than three steps away, noticing her subtle movements just now, but didn't say anything, only because she was deliberately keeping a distance from herself because there were too many people around.

"Xiao Ran, did you get up late today?" In the office, Orange saw Qi Xiao Ran walking in listlessly, and there was a dim halo around his eyes, so he guessed in the direction of insomnia.

"Hmm. Qi Xiaoran gave her a faint smile dryly, opened her workbook, saw that there was a warm-up activity today, thought for a while, then said to the orange, took the bag and walked out.

After Xiang Nuanyang arrived at the office, he has been busy, and it was almost noon when he was done, thinking of the chance encounter on the first floor in the morning, he took out his mobile phone and asked her to have dinner with her at noon on WeChat.

"Mr. Xiang, is today's lunch still the same?" Chen Tezhu saw that the time was almost up, so he walked in from outside the door, and saw him staring at his mobile phone, his face was still unwavering, and it was difficult to guess what he was thinking at this time.

"Mr. Xiang?" he slowly walked to the desk and shouted to Nuan Yang with some doubts.

Xiang Nuanyang put down the phone, put his right hand flat on the desktop next to the phone, he waited for a while, it stands to reason that this time is when the employees order, Qi Xiaoran should have seen her message, but she didn't reply.

After a while, he withdrew his right hand, put it on the arm of the office chair, raised his head slightly, looked at Chen Tezhu with cool eyes, and said lightly, "You go downstairs and have a look." ”

Chen Tezhu tilted his head, and immediately reacted that he was going to see who he wanted to see, so he raised his jaw slightly because of his surprise, and said, "Yes." ”

He quickly withdrew from the president's office, took a look at Ariel's planning department, didn't see anyone, and casually found an excuse to ask the rest of the planning department, only to know that Qi Xiaoran went to the event site to help control the scene.

In the evening, the sunset wrapped in the bright orange sunset, rendering the entire sky, Qi Xiaoran looked at the remnant sun that kept sliding to the west, and her heart was empty.

"Xiao Ran, you don't seem to be in a good state of mind?" The colleague put the gifts and prizes at the event into the box, and saw that she was distracted again, and asked with concern: "Have you been under too much pressure at work recently, so you haven't slept well at night?"

Qi Xiaoran looked away, his soft gaze fell on the materials in his hand, stretched out his hand and took one of the large plastic bags, and pursed his lips slightly, "No, I may be hungry." ”

"So you're hungry like this!" the colleague smiled, stuffed things into the company's business car with her, turned his head to look at her, and said, "Then let those little bunnies hurry up and leave the field, let's go eat together!"

"Huh. Qi Xiaoran laughed dryly, watching him run over to the group of temporarily recruited college students part-time, and followed him.

It's too late, it's too soon.

Just when passing by the fountain, she was hit by a person trotting over next to her, and there were a lot of water stains around the fountain.

"Poof!"

With a loud bang, there was a lot of splashing around.

The staff next to her heard the movement and immediately rushed over one by one to pick her up.

After absorbing water, the hem of the dark brown knit sweater was filled with water, and a female colleague helped her wring it out, and the staff of the organizer found a large towel to wrap her.

She was shivering because of the cold, and her long black hair, which was originally tied into a ponytail, was scattered at the moment, and the broken hair on her wet forehead was stuck to her head, looking so embarrassed.

"Xiao Ran, why don't you let the company's car send you back first, and then come back to transport supplies?

"yes!"

Qi Xiaoran trembled and tightened his grip on the already wet towel, "Don't waste the company's resources like this, I'll be fine in a while, it's not so fragile." ”

Her teeth chattered, causing her words to be a little slurred, but because of the slow pace of her speech, everyone could hear them clearly.

Everyone persuaded for a while, but they didn't persuade, so they had to speed up the speed of packing up their things.

When Xiang Nuanyang came, what I happened to see was a group of people busy packing up props and supplies around, but Qi Xiaoran was standing alone by the gate, she was wrapped in a big white towel, her smooth black hair seemed to be wet with water, and the hair that should have been scattered was tied up on her head at the moment.

Where she stood, there was a shadow like a water stain on the gray concrete floor.

His eyes were deep, as if there was an undercurrent churning in them, and his gloomy gaze was still locked on the person who trembled slightly by the door.

The fingers on his knees tapped lightly twice, "Chen Tezhu, go and pick her up." ”

Chen Tezhu had already noticed the position he was looking at, and he got down from the driver's seat without slowing down for a moment and walked out quickly.

Inside the car, Xiang Nuanyang looked out of the window of the back seat and watched him rush to Qi Xiaoran.

After a while, he saw Qi Xiaoran poke her head into his position, and after a while, he saw her walking behind Chen Tezhu towards the car.

Qi Xiaoran followed Chen Tezhu's footsteps, his mind was chaotic, as if he had been injected with a thick paste, he had no reason or thoughts, and every step he took was more hesitant than ever.

She didn't know what she was going to do, and she was looking forward to making progress with herself and Xiang Nuanyang until she saw the people in the back seat yesterday.

But after that moment, she was timid.
