The meal was unusual. Mingsheng was silent, and he also learned to be silent with her.

After a long time of getting along, he gradually understood the love hidden under her every look. Whenever she has bad news and doesn't want to say it right away, that's the expression she has now. Jiang Huaiyi had a lot of premonitions in his heart, but he didn't dare to confirm it with her.

Finally, she took out a photo and pushed it to him from the table: "I went back to my hometown to sort out my sister-in-law's relics and found this photo. ”

Jiang Huaiyi glanced at it and was stunned.

It was a yellowed old photograph taken in the late 80s, of two young girls smiling together in front of a plaque in front of the school. He hesitantly touched his fingertips and pointed at one of them: "This is your aunt?" ”

"Hmm."

"This ...... next to him" A strong sense of familiarity occupied his heart, but he couldn't remember it.

"It's your mother." Mingsheng got straight to the point, "They are college roommates and best friends. ”

JAC is easy to look up.

Mingsheng's eyes lit up, and he easily revealed the secret.

"My sister-in-law is your father's first love." She said.

There was another long silence. She gave him enough time to react, but after a long silence, Jiang Huaiyi suddenly laughed, laughed a few times, and even raised his eyebrows: "You don't want to say that my mother robbed your sister-in-law's man, and then the mother and son paid the debt, you plan to take revenge on me, right?" In order to show the absurdity of this plot, he added, "This script is not popular in bloody dramas these days, right?" ”

However, she just said lightly: "I'm sorry. ”

The corners of his mouth were still picked, and he said disdainfully: "This logic doesn't make sense, it's obvious that I chased you to the death, so I've never seen you take such an unprofessional revenge." He threw the fork into the plate with a clatter, and said impatiently, "If you want to dump me, you have to give me a normal reason." ”

Mingsheng's restaurant is expensive and formal, with a quiet environment, and there are only two people in the empty cubicle, which can't even be a distraction.

You can't hide, you can only greet it.

Storms, or a river of stagnant water.

Mingsheng's expression was light, his eyes fell quietly on a mural, and he said, "I really don't have the spare time to take revenge on anyone." She paused, then continued, "At first it was just a faint curiosity. Later, I felt that you are a person with money and leisure, so you can get together and disperse, and it is not a big deal to be together. ”

"Who knew you'd like me?" When she said this, the corners of her mouth smiled, and her smiling eyes looked at him for a long time, as if laughing at his stupidity and absurdity.

Jiang Huaiyi's face turned pale: "You say it again?" ”

Mingsheng lowered his eyelashes and said indifferently, "Let's end it." You also know what kind of person I am. A lot of things have dragged on for a long time, and it's not interesting. ”

It was as if there was a fire burning in his throat.

Who is she trying to say? frivolous and dusty, the change of boyfriend is like a marquee, snobbish and small, and he is not sincere in his position. These words that others have described her, she has taken it all over herself.

"Then last night......" opened the five words, and the voice seemed to be burned out.

Mingsheng wrote lightly: "I thought that would make you feel more willing." ”

She even asked rhetorically, "Isn't it?" ”

"What do you think?"

"Yes."

A few seconds of dead silence.

Jiang Huaiyi pulled the stool abruptly, didn't even look at her again, and left with a cold face.

Mingsheng sat quietly in place for a while, and called the waiter to settle the account.

It was as if she had paid her bills for the first time since she had been with him. The bill was not as expensive as expected, and she signed her name and signed three words as a matter of habit. She stared at the surname at the front for a long time. But she seemed to accept her fate. This surname and this family gave her a gloomy childhood, and it also gave her a fatal obstacle now. She once wanted to get rid of it, so much so that she changed the name on her ID card to the appearance of no surname, but there was no way to replace the blood surging in her veins and the connection behind it.

She looked up.

Above the signature is a considerable amount of money for a meal. However, she counted the zeros, and felt hollow.

shouldn't be so cheap, the debts she owes in this relationship and the accounts she pays are far less than that.

After that, Jiang Huaiyi never came to her again.

Xu is that he was originally such a proud person, and after being abandoned again and again, he finally woke up from the sugar coating of his feelings and found his original chic and untouchable self.

He quit the apartment he had rented outside the school and moved back to the school. Live step by step every day, attend classes when you should be in class, and mix with Zou Yue and them when you don't have classes, which is so normal that it doesn't matter. Zhou Jun was very worried about his calmness and reported the situation to Gu Qianyue.

Gu Qianyue found time to call him to the family to get together.

It's Mid-Autumn Festival. A son and a daughter all went to Jiang's mother's suburban villa to get together, and Xiao Youyou pestered her father to play in the yard, and was called into the house by the nanny to eat.

Youyou knelt on a high stool on one knee, climbed onto the table lively, and smiled toothlessly at Jiang Huaiyi: "Little uncle, I haven't seen you for a long time." I heard you've been studying hard lately! Scare the baby to death! ”

Gu Qianyue frowned and lectured her: "Where did you learn it......?"

JAC Yi looked faint and did not react. Jiang Mu is not a person of many words, lacking the courtesy that an elder should have for a junior, never arranging dishes, just eating gently, quietly listening to the conversation of the people at the table.

The two most lively people usually don't speak, and the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet is suddenly boring.

After dinner, Gu Qianyue found Jiang Huaiyi in the study, handed him the fruit plate cut by the nanny, glanced at the real question bank he wrote, and teased: "I haven't seen you work so hard during the college entrance examination." Let's talk to my sister, which girl is it this time? I want to get to know her. ”

"You've seen it."

Gu Qianyue was surprised: "Or the one before?" ”

"Hmm."

Gu Qianyue was speechless, looking at his silent silhouette, she didn't even bother, and withdrew without saying a few words.

Mid-Autumn fireworks are set off in the suburbs. The window of the study is facing the courtyard, and the fire trees and silver flowers outside are very lively. Xiao Youyou ran into the study with a box of moon cakes in his hand and shook his shoulders violently: "Uncle, don't do the question!" You're asleep! Come play with me. ”

She shook for a moment and realized something was wrong.

Jiang Huaiyi didn't fall asleep, he just lay on the thick question bank and closed his eyes.

It was a gesture she was familiar with. The child has the deepest memory of love and scenes, and she was so frightened that she blurted out: "Uncle, don't cry...... Give you mooncakes to eat. ”

Jiang Huaiyi looked at a large round moon cake handed to him, and really laughed, laughing out of his eyes.

He got up and wiped it, pinched Xiao Youyou's chin and stuffed the mooncake into her mouth. The little girl's mouth was too small, as if she was holding a flying saucer, her eyes were round in horror, and her expression was very funny. He laughed twice more and patted her cheeks: "Go play with your parents." ”

"Hmm......"

Youyou tried to take off the moon cake with both hands, took a few big breaths to ease up, and looked up at him and winked: "But uncle, you don't look happy." Is your aunt bullying you again? ”

He scoffed: "What do you know. ”

"Mom said, you got drunk every day a few days ago, all because of your little aunt!" Xiao Youyou bared his teeth in disgust, and scraped his fingers twice on his cheek, "Shame." ”

Jiang Huaiyi was too lazy to meet the children in general, so he went out to find his sister, saying that he would not live at home tonight and would go back to school.

Gu Qianyue has been getting more and more confused about this younger brother's mind recently, but she has never interfered too much, and asked him to say hello to his mother, so she acquiesced.

Back to school it was early in the morning.

Because it was a holiday, my roommate had just fallen asleep, and when I saw him come back, I was shocked: "Didn't you go home...... and then smelled the strong smell on his body, and turned on the light to look at him in a daze, "I wipe?" How did you drink so much. It's not the New Year, your family is still fighting for wine during the Mid-Autumn Festival? ”

Jiang Huaiyi didn't take off his shoes and fell to bed.

At first glance, it doesn't look like it's drunk at home.

The roommate got out of bed, took out a bag from a drawer, and poured him a glass of water: "Come on, take some medicine to cure hangover." ”

This roommate is a top student, has a regular life and healthy work and rest, and has no bad habits. Jiang Huaiyi couldn't imagine why he had hangover medicine here, so he took it and looked at it: "Where did you come from?" ”

The roommate helped him peel a grain and blurted out: "Just your sister...... Oh, it doesn't seem like it's your sister. The time she came, I was here. She said that you are old and drunk and hurt yourself, and you can use it in the future. The roommate, who has been single for more than 20 years, has a rare opportunity to learn from the experience, sitting on his bed and squinting with envy, "That's your girlfriend, right?" That's good for you......"

He suddenly put the medicine down.

The roommate was still asking, "Why don't you eat it?" ”

Jiang Huaiyi turned his face to the side and pursed his lips. Alcohol heats up all over the body, especially in the eye sockets.

He muttered to himself, "I've never seen a woman worse than her......"

The roommate whispered: "What did you say?" ”

"Nothing." Jiang Huaiyi suddenly sat up and walked to the balcony.

It's autumn, and it's cool at night. He sat against the balcony door, the floor hadn't been cleaned for some time, and it was dusty when he moved. He choked on the dust and coughed, his eyes red as he stared at the starry sky. There are also fireworks in the distance, as if everyone has something to celebrate.

He didn't know how long he had been sitting, so long that his limbs were stiff, and only the mobile phone in his palm was hot.

When the eleven numbers were finally dialed, the beep rang a few times, and Mingsheng answered the phone.

It was as if they hadn't spoken to each other for a century, and neither of them knew what kind of opening words to use, so they could only listen to the familiar breathing, which sounded in the cold magnetic waves.

Jiang Huai Yi leaned his head against the door frame, and his voice was astringent: "Shengbao ......"

After a long pause, he swallowed hard and said, "You say you like me." As long as you like me, I don't care about anything. ”

"You're drunk."

There was a kind of repression in his voice: "It's been so long, you can't not like me at all." Didn't you say I was likable, and even that lied to me? ”

"I kid you not." Mingsheng's voice seemed overly calm in such a situation, "Jiang Huaiyi, what I said is true. What has not been said means that there is no meaning. ”

She never said she liked him.

Another beam of fireworks rose into the air, too far away to hear the sound of bursting, only a small spark.

"Don't blow the wind outside." She said.

Jiang Huaiyi stubbornly asked: "You don't want to hear it, what did I want to say to you that day?" ”

Mingsheng was silent for a while, took a deep breath on the other end of the phone, and said, "There's no need." ”

These were the last words she said to him in her wanton youth.

There's no need for it.

He was as bright as a meteor, and as determined as a meteor, descending into her world from tens of thousands of light-years away, cutting through the atmosphere and dust, just to fulfill one of her wishes.

She wants to be loved by a person, in pieces.

But from now on, there is no need.
