21. Chapter 21

Jin Yu sat at the table and looked at the wall clock on the wall, the clock had already pointed to nine o'clock, and the dishes on the table had been cold. The mobile phone put aside was black, and no message came back, the room was surprisingly quiet, and the quiet Jin Yu could hear the sound of her heart cracking a little bit, no text messages, no phone calls, Jin Yu even wondered if Guan Xiao had deleted her mobile phone number.

Sitting quietly on the chair, time passed bit by bit, Jin Yu finally couldn't stand this wait anymore, she got up and pushed the chair into the house by herself, there was no light in the dark room, she lay on the bed and looked at the ceiling and meditated, maybe she was too much to cause Guan Xiao's disgust, maybe she chased too hard, maybe she did it too explicitly, she and Guan Xiao may not be so close, they have passed the age of sensuality, they all have their own opinions, it is difficult to really enter each other's lives, she ...... Maybe it's time to let go. Tiredness came over her and turned all her sadness into a dream, and I hope she wouldn't be so sad in her dreams.

Guan Xiao gently unscrewed the door, she sat in the garden at the bottom of the building since eight o'clock, there was no time like this felt like a year, from time to time she looked upstairs, the light in the living room was always on, she could even think of Jin Yu sitting alone at the table waiting for her picture, but she didn't choose to go up, but sat below and waited for it to go out, the moment the light went out at half past nine, Guan Xiao turned her head, and the complicated feelings in her heart were like a mess of tangled together.

When I called back last night, I heard my mother's cry, she said that the valuable things in the family were taken away, and the nest of hens she raised didn't even give her an egg, and her sister rarely went home after she got married, and her brother was an honest person, and it was estimated that he was helpless and waiting for those people to bully him. Her mother also said that those people only gave them half a month, and if they didn't pay back the money, they would not be so easy to let them go, but the most damned person didn't know where to go, and disappeared again with the 150,000 yuan she had worked so hard to accumulate. In retrospect, Guan Xiao clenched her fists, she really wanted to punch that old face a few times, and beat this gambler to the king of Hades, so that he would never be able to live forever.

She estimated that Jin Yu was almost asleep before going upstairs, Guan Xiao, who didn't dare to turn on the light in the living room, turned on the mobile phone flashlight, and saw the dishes on the table, Guan Xiao didn't hold back her tears and fell down, these dishes were all she once told Jin Yu that she loved to eat, and even the names of the dishes she inadvertently said when she was watching TV, she remembered it in her heart, Guan Xiao covered her mouth and tried not to choke herself The voice alarmed the person, and she sat alone in the position where Jin Yu was sitting, Twitching his shoulders and picking up the bowl of cold rice, he ate it one bite at a time, sandwiching the dishes on the table, and every bite was delicious. Hot tears fell into the rice bowl, sandwiched the rice grains and mixed them into his mouth, and the bitter taste made Guan Xiaoxin sob.

All night, Guan Xiao, who was lying on the bed, was trapped in a nightmare, she dreamed that those fierce and vicious people came to the door, grabbed Jin Yu, and asked her to pay off her debts, and if she didn't pay back, she would kill her, and in the torment of fear and helplessness, Guan Xiao looked out of the window that was already bright, her head was splitting, and there were even tears of thirst in the corners of her eyes. Flip out the phone to see that the time is not early, this few days her work and rest are extremely irregular, physical and mental exhaustion like a mountain pressing her out of breath, holding a heavy body to open the door, but just with Jin Yu in the entrance to change shoes, she heard the sound and turned her head to Guan Xiao to look at this side, her eyes were cold, the smile she often saw before disappeared from the corner of her mouth, some were just an indifferent face, when she went out, she seemed to remember something, turned around and said a few words coldly, "I have to go on a business trip these days, So bring your own key," she said, and walked out without looking back, carrying a small suitcase.

Guan Xiao pursed the corners of her lips, but did not answer, looking at the clean table no longer placed on the steaming breakfast, she was stunned for a moment, last night in order not to let Jin Yu find out that she had eaten, she poured them all into the trash can without thinking carefully, and the decisive and stupid Guan Xiao clumsily covered up her purpose. "Jin Yu, maybe I shouldn't have moved here, it's good that we don't see each other. So that you won't be hurt because of me, and I can retain my pitiful dignity" She sat on the sofa with a weak body, laughing and crying, "Guan Xiao, no one can save you, you can only rely on yourself"

Jin Yu sat on the first train, the scar on her nose had healed, so she simply replaced the uncomfortable gauze with a band-aid, looked down at her watch, and had three minutes to drive, she moved her eyes out of the car window, in the hazy sky, she seemed to see the lightning and thunder hidden inside, "Guan Xiao...... If your wish is that you don't want to have anything to do with me, then maybe this is the best way" she said silently in her heart, and the bullet train drove towards S City, lightning and thunder flashing and crossing in the sky behind the car.

This sudden rainstorm originally thought that it would weaken, but it was still so ferocious that it was already the whole morning, Guan Xiao sat alone in the corner of the lounge in a daze, her eyes lost their former brilliance, and increased anxiety and exhaustion.

"Sister Guan Xiao, why doesn't you look very good" Zhang Xiaozhi sat on the chair opposite Guan Xiao. Guan Xiao, who came back to his senses, retracted all his expressions, smiled reluctantly, and took a sip of the already cold coffee to his mouth.

"It's nothing, it's just that people are in a bad mood on this rainy day"

"Sister Guan Xiao, how are you and the general manager of Company A?" Zhang Xiaozhi nervously faced Li Guanxiao, who has always been smart and clever, he regretted betting with that group of people a little, but he didn't expect that the punishment for losing was to spy on Guan Xiao's gossip, which made Zhang Xiaozhi, who has always had a good relationship with Guan Xiao, feel very bad, but who let him lose, a manly man can afford to lose if he wins.

Li Guanxiao raised his eyes and stared at Zhang Xiaozhi, as if he was going to burn a hole in his face, and a disdainful smile was provoked at the corner of his mouth, "Young man, the big husband has something to do and something not to do, even if he loses, he should maintain his own values, do you think it's polite to spy on other people's **?" She gestured with her chin to the circle of people sitting nearby.

"Sister Guan Xiao, how do you know...... It's me who lost the bet, and they asked me to come......" Zhang Xiaozhi asked dumbfounded, and when they came in, they saw Guan Xiao sitting in front of the window in a daze, but they didn't expect her to know.

"Comment on my understanding of your kid, and the understanding of the people there" Guan smiled and got up, patted Zhang Xiaozhi on the shoulder, and walked out of the lounge alone.

Standing in the corridor, Guan Xiao took out her mobile phone, she flipped through the contact number on it, her eyes stopped at Jin Yu's name for a few seconds, and then quickly crossed it, and finally found He Yunfeng's name and clicked it. "Hey, Yun Feng? I'll treat you to dinner tonight," she deliberately made her voice sound sweeter, but the pretended voice had unnatural flaws.

After Jin Yu got down from the train station, he stood outside the station, the sky outside was clear and cloudless, but he didn't expect that the weather in the two cities, which were only a few hundred kilometers apart, was diametrically opposite, Jin Yu dialed a phone number with his mobile phone, and after a while, a person who looked like a driver walked in the direction where Jin Yu was standing.

"Manager Qiu, is it? Hello, I'm Xiao Zheng, it's Mr. Guo who asked me to pick you up" The driver Xiao Zheng politely introduced, and led Jin Yu to the parking lot, Jin Yu, who was sitting in the back seat of the car, began to think about what to say when they met, after all, she came with a purpose, and she would not leave if she didn't achieve her goal.

Jin Yu, who was sitting in the back seat of the car, held her mobile phone and looked out the window silently, this strange city made her feel a little uneasy, just like she had just arrived in that city, she was not a person who liked novelty, but those strangeness would make her resist, strangeness means distance, and distance is strange.

"Guan Xiao, are you okay? It's raining heavily today, did you bring an umbrella? Jin Yu read the content of the text message she wanted to edit in her heart, but she only saw it written in her heart.

Guan Xiao invited He Yunfeng to a very ordinary restaurant, and He Yunfeng didn't seem to care about eating in such an ordinary place. Guan Xiao looked at He Yunfeng, who was eating comfortably, the louder the muttering in her heart, she still couldn't figure out what kind of person this man was, "Yunfeng, can I ask you something?" ”

"Just say it, don't be polite to me," he smiled gentlemanly and wiped the corners of his mouth with a low-quality tissue.

"You can accompany me back to my hometown on the weekend" Originally, Guan Xiao thought that he would not agree, after all, he was so busy with work, she just wanted to see if he really minded her status as a rural birth.

"Okay, I happen to be free this weekend, and sooner or later I will have to accompany Guan Xiao back to my parents' house, so this is also a good opportunity"

Guan Xiao felt that this was like a feeling that she was in a trap, she was right to go home, but she was not ready to bring this man back, but she had already said it stupidly and how could she regret it.

"Uh, is there any news from that empty wing?" Guan Xiao diverted the topic, and He Yunfeng nodded understandingly, "Don't worry, it's easy for me to come forward, isn't it just twenty vases, and the money invested in the empty wing has long been more than that." ”

"Then I really want to thank you" Guan Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, but she didn't feel a sense of steadiness in her heart, she always felt that these things were so smooth, why did he say it so easily? Maybe...... Maybe...... Is it that he wants to marry him...... Guan Xiao temporarily blamed these on this reason, there are too many things that don't go well now, she doesn't have time to think more, her mother is right, people's fate has already been arranged, and destined things will always happen at a destined time, and she Guan Xiao is a person who can't escape the control of fate.
