The rain outside the window was getting heavier and heavier, and the entire river city was shrouded in rain and fog.

Shen Xi took out a small note full of wrinkles from his wallet and carefully unfolded it, the paper was already slightly yellowed, but the handwriting on it was clear.

-- Vouchers. No time or place. Shen Xi and Jiang Yan.

Therefore, Jiang Yan at that time thought about whether they might get lost one day in the future?

Shen Xi sighed softly, at an age when she was still extremely ignorant, Jiang Yan had already thought a lot. At that time, Jiang Yan was mixed between dreams and her, which should have been very hard.

This is also the biggest problem between her and Jiang Yan.

Shen Xi thought wildly, pinching the note.

Bai Ziyuan, who was sitting opposite, glanced at the name on the note and smiled meaningfully: "Your boyfriend is really interesting." If you still like him, aren't you going to use this ticket? ”

The rain outside the window was getting heavier and crackling. Shen Xi's voice was particularly fluctuating in the sound of rain: "Because I've already used it once." ”

==

That year, Shen Xi had a very happy time.

Her grades were greatly influenced by Jiang Yan - she improved by leaps and bounds, unexpectedly grew a centimeter taller, and watched two movies with Jiang Yan, and Director Li gave her a chance to take the stage to be the host of the school's commendation meeting.

At the annual commendation meeting of Jiangcheng Foreign Chinese Middle School, people from the Municipal Education Bureau will always send people to participate.

Director Li told Shen Xi that he chose her because he felt that her face had been exercised like an iron wall after her incident, and it was expected that she would definitely not have stage fright.

Although Shen Xi was nervous for a night, she played exceptionally well on the scene, and there was a show where she had a business trip, and she also temporarily rescued the scene.

Director Li is very satisfied, and feels that he really knows heroes and teaches them according to their aptitude.

The last link is the speech of the outstanding student representative, and the fixed object of this program is basically Jiang Yan, and this time there is no exception.

When Shen Xi read the word "Jiang Yan", there was a slight trillation at the end, but fortunately, the applause roared, and everyone didn't seem to pay much attention.

Jiang Yan stood beside her, and a clear voice came from Zamai, like a cherry blossom rain in April in Jiangcheng.

Shen Xi glanced at him sideways, and suddenly found that this was the first time since she was a child that she stood beside him so openly, not Jiang Yan's little tail, not Jiang Yan's shadow.

Suddenly, Shen Xi seemed to understand something, although the thought was ambiguous and vague like a cloud of light and shadow on the ground, but it began to slowly linger in her heart.

It turns out that she can stand by Xiao Jiang's side.

"That's all for today, thank you." Jiang Yan bowed to the audience, and saw Shen Xi standing aside, with a light blue dress, silver high heels, elegant makeup, and the whole portrait of the little girl shining in the sun. The elegant swan neck reminded him of the little girl dancing in the cherry blossom rain many years ago.

Shen Xi has been beautiful since she was a child, but at this time, she is extraordinarily beautiful, a kind of heart-piercing touch.

Jiang Yan walked off the stage, and when he passed Shen Xi, he turned around and smiled, and said to her in a voice that could only be heard by two people: "Beautiful, and also very powerful." ”

Shen Xi staggered, and quickly stabilized.

A qiē is very good.

But that year, Jiang Yan did not go to the United States.

Jiangcheng's economic situation is getting worse and worse, and the real estate bubble is getting bigger and bigger. The old lady of the Jiang family fell ill.

Jiang Yan was brought up by the old lady of the Jiang family when he was young, and even Go was taught by the old man, so his feelings are naturally deep. The old lady continued to be sick, and Jiang Yan naturally did not leave.

A few months later, the mayor of Jiangcheng City was dismissed, involving many problems of collusion between politics and business, Jiang Changhuai was invited to investigate, coupled with the sluggish market in the past two years, the Chen family, a former partner of Rongjiang Group, temporarily withdrew, and Rongjiang Group was scattered. The old lady of the Jiang family died under multiple blows.

Jiang Yan did not appear at school again for a long time.

The Jiang family's house is empty, and occasionally only people who come to inquire about the news appear sparsely.

Shen Xuejian also had a poor complexion and was depressed. Min Rou said that the situation of Hengtai Department Store is not too good.

That was the first time Shen Xi knew that it was unfortunate that it could come so quickly. In this world, nothing lasts forever.

When Shen Xi saw Jiang Yan again, it was in the mourning hall of Old Lady Jiang.

Located in the house of the Jiang family's hometown, the Jiang family used to be in the city, but now, not many people come.

Jiang Yan was wearing a black suit, wearing linen and filial piety, kneeling on the side of the hall with a pale expression, Xu Li kneeling beside him, her face was full of tears, and there was a bruise on her forehead.

Shen Xi followed Min Rou on a pillar of incense, and didn't dare to talk to Jiang Yan. She will never forget Jiang Yan's eyes at that time, lonely, resolute, but a little desperate.

But he suppressed it and said nothing.

After dinner, Shen Xi met Jiang Yan again in the backyard.

Jiang Yan smiled at her, very reluctantly.

Shen Xi felt that he was really useless, he was usually very articulate, but at this time, he didn't know how to comfort Jiang Yan at all, so he just said cowardly: "Xiao Jiang, don't be too sad......

After saying that, I wanted to bite off my tongue.

"I'm fine." Jiang Yan replied very calmly, but this kind of calmness made Shen Xi very scared, and I heard my mother say that Jiang Yan has been busy with the recent affairs of the Jiang family.

Jiang Yan was only more than three months older than her.

"Xiao Jiang, if you have any sadness, you can tell me." Shen Xi patted himself on the shoulder, indicating that he was reliable.

The weather has changed from cold to cold in early winter, the night is like frost, the moonlight is cold, Jiang Yan has lost a lot of weight, there is already a faint light cyan stubble around his lips, his eyes are red, he pulled the corners of his dry lips, and said, "Xiaoxi, I'm really fine." ”

Shen Xi suddenly became angry, stretched out his foot and stepped on Jiang Yan heavily, and said, "Jiang Yan, what are you doing at this time." Do you still treat me as a ...... Friend! ”

Shen Xi puffed out his mouth and said it confidently.

Under the moonlight, Shen Xi's big eyes were moist, Jiang Yan's throat rolled, and the sourness in her heart surged up, and she softly called out her name: "Shen Xi ......"

The voice was choked, like the cold wind at night.

Jiang Yan stretched out his hand, blocked Shen Xi's eyes like mist and water, and said, "Shen Xi, when my grandfather left, he took my hand and said, let me protect the Jiang family and the Rongjiang Group." I suddenly realized that I had been too happy and selfish, thinking only about my own dreams and my own likes, and not thinking about taking on the responsibilities of the family. Now I am also very scared, I have lived too smoothly since I was a child, and it seems that I can succeed in doing anything without too much effort, but the whole Jiang family...... My dad ......"

Jiang Yan didn't continue.

His palms were wet, and Shen Xi sobbed and said, "Xiao Jiang, one qiē and one qiē will be fine, my father said that Uncle Jiang was wronged, and now he is only cooperating with the investigation." Also, you...... Being so smart since you were a child will definitely make you better. When you get better, you can still go and make your dreams come true. ”

Jiang Yan smiled bitterly, in this world, only Shen Xi is willing to believe in him unconditionally. But......

"Shen Xi, don't come to me again in the future."

Shen Xi shook off his hand, opened his eyes wide, looked at Jiang Yan and said, "What did you say?!" ”

Jiang Yan's dark eyes showed a hint of sadness: "Xiaoxi, I will be very busy, I may not go to school for a long time, maybe I will move away, and, have you seen the injury on my mother's face today?" He was stoned when he returned to his hometown today, and that person listened to the rumors of the Chen family......"

"Shut up." Shen Xi never dared to be really fierce Jiang Yan, but that day he was really fierce, grabbed his hand and bit it hard, took out the small note, shook it in front of Jiang Yan, and said, "Huh." I want to use a voucher. ”

"Shen Xi...... This ticket is not for use at this time. Jiang Yan sighed lowly, he was about to miss the appointment.

"When was that used?" Shen Xi glared.

A large piece of pale moonlight leaked into the courtyard, and Jiang Yan's eyes became deeper and darker.

Shen Xi ...... "He still wants to persuade again." persuade her not to approach the Jiang family at such a time.

But Shen Xi pursed his lips, his eyes were shining: "Xiao Jiang, you look into my eyes and say!" ”

Jiang Yan looked into her eyes and couldn't say a word.

"Xiao Jiang, don't you want to dump me at this time. Today I heard my mother say that you are not going to the United States, nor are you going to T University, and you are going to Jiangcheng University in order to take care of your family. I tell you, I will also be admitted to Jiangcheng University, and you will wait for me when the time comes! Shen Xi stomped his feet and ran away.

The dark clouds in the sky, which covered half of the moon, also ran away.

Shen Xuejian was right, more than two months later, the investigation was over, and Jiang Changhuai went home safely. Rongjiang Group has a backbone, and the shape of the shì quickly stabilized, and officially parted ways with the Chen family.

Jiang Changhuai went home, Xu Li happily prepared a dinner, and the family of three rarely sat down to eat together again. Xu Li kept her heart and specially called Shen Xi to come over for dinner.

Shen Xi came with a thick notebook in her hand, and she was a little embarrassed when she saw the three people of the Jiang family sitting there.

Xu Li waved at her warmly and said, "Come and sit." Recently, Xixi has occasionally talked to me, so I am not so sad. ”

The warmth and coldness of the world are always most evident in the most difficult times.

Jiang Changhuai also smiled at Shen Xi.

Shen Xi obediently sat beside Jiang Yan, and at a glance, he could see that there was still a faint scar on his wrist, which was her tooth mark, and his face turned red all of a sudden.

Jiang Yan noticed her little eyes at once, and gave a piece of braised pig's trotters to Shen Xi, saying meaningfully: "Bite slowly." ”

So, Shen Xi ate the pig's trotters for half an hour. Absent-mindedly, Xiao Jiang didn't promise her in the end that day, and wanted to continue to use that coupon.

However, Shen Xi still didn't ask after all, Xu Li was so happy that she opened a jar of treasured daughter red, which was full of fragrance. Shen Xi quickly fed himself a cup, licked his lips contentedly, and was about to drink a second cup, but he had already been beaten down by Jiang Yan's chopsticks.

"You're not doing your homework in a while?" Jiang Yan pointed to the notebook that Shen Xi had brought.

Xu Li was a little aggrieved for Shen Xi, and said: "Go and go, don't talk about studying when you eat." ”

Shen Xi bent his eyes and said, "I'm not going to do it tonight, that's the note I copied for you to find Qin Sheng, haven't you come to class for a long time?" ”

Jiang Yan casually opened a notebook, the handwriting was very beautiful, all kinds of highlighters were marked very seriously, and the key places were also marked with "", Shen Xi saw him flip through the book, and hurriedly covered it with his hand, blushing and shouting: "Don't look!" ”

"Isn't that what I'm showing?"

But it's not what I see now, there are so many people, Shen Xi wants to cry without tears: "Don't talk about studying when you eat." ”

Jiang Yan pointed to a formula and said, "I copied the wrong ...... here" The liberal arts students helped the science students copy math notes or something, and it was also thanks to Shen Xi who came up with it.

But under Xu Li's care, Shen Xi still drank two more glasses and slept on the sofa of Jiang Yan's house like a kitten.

After dinner, Jiang Changhuai went to the study alone to chat with Jiang Yan.

Jiang Changhuai looked at the information that Jiang Yan had sorted out, listened to Jiang Yan briefly state what he had encountered, and how to deal with it, and patted his son's shoulder with emotion: "Better than me back then." It's okay now, if you still want to go to the United States, you can prepare again. ”

Jiang Changhuai was in the prime of life at the time, but in just a few months, gray hair grew on his sideburns.

"I'm not going to the U.S. anymore." Jiang Yan was already taller than Jiang Changhuai, he lowered his head and looked at his father, and said, "At least don't go now, and then go when it's stable." ”

Jiang Changhuai glanced at him with some surprise and some relief: "Grown up." ”

Jiang Yan was silent, the price of growing up was a bit big.

Jiang Changhuai glanced outside the house and asked straightforwardly, "Reluctant?" ”

"Huh?"

Jiang Changhuai smiled: "Shen Xi comes to you every day." ”

"Hmm." This time it's an affirmative voice.

Jiang Changhuai looked at the young man in front of him and said: "You have been sensible since you were a child, you don't go to the United States, you don't go to T University, if it weren't entirely for this family, and there is a little girl factor, I will feel better." ”

The sky was dark, the light in the study was gentle, and Jiang Yan's voice was a little sour: "It's reluctant." ”

"But I can't." He said again.

When Jiang Yan came out of the study, Shen Xi was still lying on the sofa, breathing lightly.

Jiang Yan wanted to wake her up, but seeing the blue and black under her eyes, he looked at the time, took a small blanket, and put it on Shen Xi. Just let her sleep for another hour.

Jiang Yan sat down beside Shen Xi, and opened the soft cover book she brought, a thick one, Shen Xi's mathematics is not good, and the progress of the liberal arts class is completely different from that of the science class, most of the questions and formulas, she is copying according to the gourd drawing, and she has made a lot of mistakes...... And it's full of private goods.

Every other unit, Shen Xi writes a paragraph, from "Xiao Jiang, a qiē will get better" to "Xiao Jiang, I will definitely be admitted to Jiangcheng University." "It's Shen Xi's approach. With such a thick book, plus my own homework, it is estimated that I stayed up late to copy it, so it is no wonder that the dark circles are so heavy.

In the silence of the room, Jiang Yan looked at the little girl's sleeping face like a peach blossom, and sighed softly: "Shen Xi Shen Xi, your heart is full of me, but there are many, many other things in my heart, what should I do?" ”

Shen Xi's eyelashes trembled slightly, and his feet shrunk in the small blanket couldn't help but move.
