Liang Jian was calm and clear in his heart, but he didn't expect that at this time, Hu Xiaoying spoke. And he helped Huang Zhenzhen speak.

In fact, it was also he who was slow to react. Huang Zhenzhen specially asked him to be with Hu Xiaoying, how could he not take advantage of it! Hu Xiaoying called Liang Jian's name.

Listening to his name being said from her mouth, Liang Jian had an indescribable complex feeling in his heart.

"If you can really speak, you might as well say it. After all, ......" She paused suddenly, her eyes stayed on Liang Jian's face and showed a little complexity: "Secretary Huang is not for himself in this matter, but for the development of Tongzhou District." ”

Huang Zhenzhen immediately took over: "Now the development of Tongzhou is a critical moment, and I hope Director Liang can help at this time!" ”

As she spoke, she suddenly reached out and put something on the table, and then gently pushed it to Liang Jian.

"This is a little careful, and I hope Director Liang will not dislike it." What Huang Zhenzhen pushed over was an ICBC bank card. Liang Jian glanced at it, then looked serious, and said, "If Secretary Huang is like this, it won't be interesting." ”

Huang Zhenzhen heard this, smiled slightly, didn't answer, turned his head to look at Hu Xiaoying, and said, "Sister Xiaoying, you have a good relationship with Director Liang, you can help me talk about it." ”

Hu Xiaoying glanced at Liang Jian and replied with a chuckle: "I can't persuade him to make a decision." So, I can't help you with this. ”

Liang Jian's heart that had been lifted suddenly relaxed. He was really afraid that Hu Xiaoying would open his mouth to help Huang Zhenzhen persuade him. It's not just that he doesn't know how to refuse, but more importantly, his impression of Hu Xiaoying shouldn't be like this.

He was afraid of disappointment.

Huang Zhenzhen was stunned for a moment when he saw that Hu Xiaoying didn't help him, and then took the card back with a smile and said, "It seems that I was offended." ”

Liang Jian took advantage of her embarrassment, quickly stood up, and said, "It's not too short to come out, I really should go back." ”

Huang Zhenzhen didn't stop him again. Hu Xiaoying looked at him with eyes, and there was a look in it that Liang Jian didn't dare to look at.

Suddenly, Huang Zhenzhen said, "Sister Xiaoying didn't drive, right?" ”

Hu Xiaoying glanced at Liang Jian and nodded, "Yes." ”

Huang Zhenzhen looked at Liang Jian and said, "Then Director Liang will work hard and help me send Sister Xiaoying back, right?" Where she lives, you go back to the hotel just on the way. ”

Liang Jian was stunned for a moment, when he came, he came in Huang Zhenzhen's car. Liang Jian glanced at Huang Zhenzhen, but after all, he still couldn't say no.

Huang Zhenzhen left first. Liang Jian took Hu Xiaoying and went out to take a taxi on the road.

It was late at night, and there were few pedestrians on the streets, and there were not many cars. The two people stood on the side of the road, and the street lamp pulled their bodies out of a long shadow behind them, separated by two people dozens of centimeters, but the shadows were connected not far away.

"Why don't you go?" Hu Xiaoying said suddenly. Liang Jian turned his head, and Hu Xiaoying was looking up at him.

Liang Jian didn't answer, but his feet had already stepped out.

Actually, he really had a lot to say and wanted to ask her. However, I don't know where to start. Presumably, she is also in this mood.

They walked like this, for a long time, and it seemed that no one intended to break this silence, and no one seemed to feel that there was an end to the road.

He didn't ask her where she lived, and no one cared where the road would lead.

There are fewer and fewer vehicles on the road, and occasionally people who return at night pass by in battery cars or motorcycles, and they will cast suspicious glances at Liang Jian and the others.

As I walked, the surroundings became remote. The greenery on both sides of the road has been transformed into pristine bushes. Even the light of the street lamps seemed to have become a little colder and dimer.

Suddenly, a figure sprang out from the bushes on the side of the road, and swept quickly in front of Liang Jian and the others, startling the two of them. Especially Hu Xiaoying, who was so shocked that she subconsciously approached him, climbed on his arms with both hands, and grabbed them tightly.

What came out was a tanuki cat, which stopped on the green belt without plants on the other side, twisted its neck and stared at them, its eyes shining with a green and faint light, and it was indeed a bit scary in this deserted street with no people.

Hu Xiaoying didn't know whether to take advantage of the situation or if she was really afraid, so she leaned towards Liang Jian again.

"Meow—" The tanuki opened its mouth and barked at them, its high-pitched voice loud in the silence of the night. Liang Jian chopped off his foot, and it immediately turned around and fled.

After it left, although Hu Xiaoying relaxed, his hand was still on his arm, and he had no intention of letting go. Liang Jian struggled for a while and decided to pretend not to know.

Liang Jian looked at the road that was getting farther and farther away, and said, "Let's go back." ”

Hu Xiaoying stared at the road ahead, pursed her lips and did not speak.

"What's wrong?" Liang Jian asked.

Hu Xiaoying suddenly smiled, her smile revealed some desolation, she raised her head to meet Liang Jian's gaze, and said, "I really want to go with you like this, keep walking, don't stop." ”

"If it's the road, there will be an end." Liang Jian turned his head, not daring to look at her, a tearing pain spread out of his chest, as if someone was forcefully opening his chest, to see what color his heart was, what it contained. In fact, he also wanted to take a look at this person's heart, what it was made of, what it contained, and why it was so complicated. Why can't it be simpler?

It's love or hate, it's simpler. But the reality is that love and hate are inseparable, and love debts are difficult to solve.

Hu Xiaoying smiled sadly: "You're right, there will always be an end to the road." It's me, it's too extravagant. ”

Liang Jian wanted to tell her that it was not her extravagant hope, but from the day she rejected his marriage proposal that day, they had already embarked on a forked path, and this journey was destined to only go further and further.

It's just that when the words came to his lips, he still swallowed them back. After all, he couldn't bear to put another stone on top of her grief.

"Let's go, let's go back." Hu Xiaoying took a deep breath, turned around and walked back. The moment he turned around, the hand was withdrawn from the crook of his arm.

Suddenly, a certain place in Liang Jian's heart suddenly became empty. He watched her back slowly moving forward, under the street lamp, her shadow was stretched so long and slender, his heart suddenly hurt, the feeling of emptiness became more and more intense, like a devouring abyss began to stretch out countless tentacles, pulling him desperately into it.

He caught up and took her hand.

The warm feeling came from the palm of his hand, and he suddenly filled in the empty space. Hu Xiaoying looked up at him, her eyes were complicated, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl slightly.

Liang Jian's face was expressionless, his heart was calm, and all the ups and downs were pressed underneath.

He didn't want to do anything, but at this moment, he couldn't just watch her go farther and farther.

The two seem to be a couple, but they are not a couple. Still didn't say a word, and walked back slowly. This journey has been a long time, but it feels very short.

There is an end to the road.

When Liang Jian returned to the hotel, the sky was even white. After a quick wash, I was ready to take a nap as soon as possible, but I couldn't sleep after tossing and turning. As soon as you close your eyes, your mind will appear with her figure, her face, and her voice Liang Jian, as if she is in her ear, constantly murmuring.

Liang Jian had no choice but to get up, he smoked a cigarette, then took his mobile phone and found Lao Tang's mobile phone and called it.

At this point, it's not even five o'clock.

Receiving a call from Liang Jian in the early morning, the sleepy old Tang was very surprised and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" He thought it was something important, and there was a hint of nervousness in his voice.

Liang Jian hesitated for a moment and asked him: "How did you deal with Hu Xiaoying's matter at that time?" ”

Liang Jian had never asked Lao Tang this question before. originally thought that this question might never be asked in my life. But today, he had to ask.

Old Tang was very surprised, after nearly a year, Liang Jian suddenly called in the early morning. After he was silent for a long time, he asked Liang Jian: "Why did you suddenly think of asking about this?" ”

Liang Jian hesitated for a moment and replied, "I saw her a few hours ago." ”

"She's back home?" The words that Old Tang blurted out surprised Liang Jian. So, he immediately asked: "You mean, she has been abroad before?" ”

After being silent for a while, Old Tang sighed and said, "Yes." At that time, I had her sent abroad for her safety. ”

"But ......" Liang Jian frowned: "Didn't you say that you should follow the process at that time, what should you do?" ”

"It's not as simple as you know." Old Tang said.

Liang Jian suddenly felt a little angry, since it was not so simple, why didn't Lao Tang say it at that time, but kept hiding it. He questioned Lao Tang, who was silent for a while, and then suddenly replied sharply: "You were bent on going abroad to chase Xiang Jin back, if you were me, would you tell me these things?" Moreover, she is not for you. We all know this, and you actually know it yourself. Since you are not a suitable person, and you already have a family, why do I have to tell you these things? Am I, as a father, supposed to let you go wrong again and again? ”

Old Tang's words left Liang Jian speechless.

After a long time, Liang Jian took a deep breath and asked him, "What happened at the beginning, what was the truth?" ”

"Does the truth matter?" Old Tang asked rhetorically. He didn't seem to want to tell Liang Jian what was going on at that time. Liang Jian knew that if Old Tang didn't want to say it, he couldn't ask if he forced him, so he had to give up.

Old Tang said again: "Since she is back, presumably you will see each other often in the future, you had better be mentally prepared." ”

Liang Jian wasn't quite sure what he meant by mental preparation.

"Anything else?" Old Tang asked.

"It's gone." Liang Jian replied. After saying that, there was silence on the other end of the phone for a few seconds, and then he hung up the phone, and the beep and beep on the other end of the phone seemed to have a hint of sternness.

Liang Jian didn't sleep anymore, he sat on the sofa and thought about it for a long time, thinking about the words of the old Tang and Hu Xiaoying today......

Until, someone knocked on the door.
