He stood still, waited for her to approach him, and then walked forward side by side with her.

Thinking back to the days when he was by her side, it seemed that every time he walked fast, she was chasing him, but now no matter how fast or slow he walked, it became that he was going to chase her.

"Zijin, how have you been doing all these years?" Qiao Zheqing waited for Ran Zijin to take the initiative to ask him, but he didn't wait for her to speak, so he took the initiative to ask her first.

"It's still bad just now, but it's good now." Ran Zijin replied truthfully, although she no longer likes Qiao Zheqing, he is the one who has left an important mark in her life after all, and she doesn't want to use the falsehood and foolery of those who treat the people next to her.

"You went to X-Outside, didn't you?" Qiao Zheqing's impression of Ran Zijin is always talkative, but her heart doesn't say a word more, which makes him very sad, and he feels even more depressed in his heart, and he wants to suffocate in his heart.

He knew that if he didn't find something to say, there would be a long, oppressive silence between them for the rest of the day.

He didn't want that silence to happen, because if there was a first, there must be a second. He tried his best to redeem the tacit understanding and intimacy between him and her.

"Hmm. But you're gone. I'm not there for you, though. Ran Zijin thought about it, since what she likes is Leng Muxuan, then don't give Qiao Zheqing the slightest chance, in order to cut through the mess quickly, she once again told the truth, and didn't think about whether these words would hurt him, "I didn't particularly like X big, but here in this city, the cost is relatively small, and I am close to the orphanage, so it is more convenient to take care of the orphanage." So even if I didn't know you, I would be studying at X University. ”

Didn't you ......always tell me that you were going because I was in X University, so you were going?

Such a sentence was about to come out of Qiao Zheqing's mouth, but he was deeply pressed back, and he suddenly felt as if he was not qualified to ask like this again, and his heart was full of guilt for her.

"If I've said anything before, it's because I'm too young and ignorant to be true." Ran Zijin probably guessed what Qiao Zheqing wanted to ask, so he said it like this.

In fact, at that time, she really didn't like X University, and she wanted to be admitted to Q University in the imperial capital, but Qiao Zheqing's grades were impossible to be admitted to Q University, and she was very attached to him and didn't want to be separated from him, so she said that she wanted to go to X University. As for the economic reasons, although they were important, they were not as important as he came at that time.

Thinking about it now, Ran Zijin couldn't help but feel that he was naïve and stupid at that time, and he actually made such a decision for such an irresponsible person, wherever he went, she followed.

"Zijin, I've not had a good time in Finland in the past five years." Qiao Zheqing didn't want to hear Ran Zijin say anything he didn't want to hear, so he pulled the topic to himself.

In fact, he had been waiting for her to ask about his situation, he knew that she must have wanted to know why he would say goodbye to Lu, and he had already thought of an excuse to explain and cover up that despicable past, but he never waited for him to speak.

"How can it be bad? I studied architecture, won many awards, and are already very famous in the architecture and design circles, and you are also young and promising. Isn't the life of being in the limelight exactly what you want to pursue, and you've achieved it now. Ran Zijin's impression of Qiao Zheqing has always been the focus of attention, and he is very happy and likes to be this kind of focus, and he also told her that he wants to be the kind of person who is surrounded by people.

Now he has indeed become a person who is surrounded by people and attracts attention, and the awards and achievements he has won are what many people have struggled for all their lives, but they have never been able to get.

"It's just work and career, not life. In the past five years, there has been a gap in my heart that has not been filled. Qiao Zheqing walked and pinched a small branch of osmanthus on the osmanthus tree next to him, the osmanthus was going to be defeated, but it tasted good.

He put it under the tip of his nose and sniffed it, and then pinned it to Ran Zijin's hair.

Ran Zijin instinctively wanted to dodge, but before she could dodge, he had already put a flower on her head, so she had no choice but to give up and go according to him, just a flower, she had already passed the age when she was easily moved by such a warm little thing.

Even if he drove a luxury car and gave it to her with an oversized diamond ring now, she would not be moved anymore, because the person who lived in her heart was no longer him, so she would only be indifferent to whatever he did.

"Then you just hurry up and fill it, with your current identity, what kind of girl doesn't have it, don't be too picky, choose a similar one, and a lifetime will pass." Ran Zijin said this, just to tell Qiao Zheqing that she had no thoughts about him anymore, and asked him to die directly to her.

In fact, she has always been a dead-eyed person, and she is also a tenacious person, and she still likes to drill the horns of the bull when she has something in her heart, Qiao Zheqing didn't say goodbye at the beginning, she waited for him so stupidly, firstly, because she really didn't forget him at the beginning, and secondly, she wanted to know what he wanted to say goodbye to him.

Now that they were reunited, she didn't want to ask him the reason anymore, because it didn't matter anymore.

What he left for and what he came back for has nothing to do with her, and she won't care about this anymore.

She gave him all the fanaticism and paranoia in those years, and now the rest of her fanaticism and paranoia has decided to leave it all to Leng Muxuan.

She loves Leng Muxuan, and she doesn't want to care about any man other than this man, she understands that this is what Leng Muxuan wants her to do.

"Zijin, it's not that I'm too picky, but because those women aren't you." Qiao Zheqing suddenly stopped, turned around, faced Ran Zijin, stood in front of her, and looked down at her eyes in the dim light.

Her eyes were still so bright and bright, but those eyes that had once been filled with fiery heat were now as calm as a pool of stagnant water, without the slightest turmoil.

His heart sank and his breathing became heavier and heavier, and the feeling of bitterness and remorse filled every corner of his body.

"Aqing, I'm not them. They have their own goodness, which you just didn't find, and your hard work will always find out. Ran Zijin turned sideways, walked past Qiao Zheqing, and continued to walk forward, tearing off the osmanthus from his hair as he walked, and then threw it into the flower bed on the side.

She is not a generous person, and she can't completely forgive Qiao Zheqing now, and she can't forget his goodbye without saying goodbye, because in her heart, that kind of behavior is abandonment.

He abandoned her, once, whatever the relationship between them, it was he who abandoned her.

Ran Zijin has been discarded too many times in her life, so what she can't accept the most is this.

Therefore, even if she doesn't like him now, she doesn't want to know the reason for it, but she still lingers on his behavior.

"Zijin ......"

"Aqing!" Ran Zijin stood still, and there was the gate of the supermarket not far away, and she interrupted Qiao Zheqing's words, "No matter what, I welcome you back." We used to have such a good relationship, and you were one of my best friends. I'm doing well now, and I don't want my life to change after you come back. You know what I like, quiet life, you know? ”

"I understand." Qiao Zheqing nodded helplessly, with an injured look in his eyes that could not be concealed.

How could he not understand her mind, all her words along the way were rejecting him, and warning him not to meddle in her life again.

Although she didn't say a word about Leng Muxuan, he could see that she really loved that man.

Qiao Zheqing lowered his eyebrows, his heart was sad, his jealousy of Leng Muxuan was already burning like a fire, and it was burning more and more, so that he couldn't help but hate him a little.

"It's good that you get the idea. I'm going to the supermarket, you go back. Next time you visit, go upstairs and come to your home. After Ran Zijin finished speaking, he smiled at Qiao Zheqing again, turned around and walked towards the entrance of the supermarket.

On her face was the kind of faint smile like an osmanthus flower, Qiao Zheqing looked at it and felt that her eyes were sour, some mist rose in her eyes, and her back in the distance was a little blurred.

Ran Zijin's words were not so direct, nor were they so hurtful, but every word she said still made him sad, and he was very remorseful and blamed himself.

After buying eggs, Ran Zijin went home directly.

On the way out of the supermarket, she actually saw Qiao Zheqing standing in the shadow of the roadside, but she didn't want to say anything to him, and she felt that she really had nothing to say to him.

After all, five years have passed, and in these five years, they have lived and grown up separately, in different places, in different life circles, and in different experiences, so that they can no longer find a common language.

When she stood in front of him, she was actually a little sad in her heart, feeling that time would make people, and her fate with him, whether it was friendship or emotion, could only end here.

In fact, to be exact, it was five years ago, when he left, it was already over, and it was he who first put an end to their relationship, ending its continuation and progress.

Her later foolish waiting made her think very clearly that even if he returned, they would definitely return to the intimacy they had before he left, and there were so many things between them now.

However, she is also very grateful for his departure, and she is also grateful for the return to the past, she met Leng Muxuan, and fell in love with Leng Muxuan wholeheartedly.

"Aunt Zhang, I'm back, haven't you gone home yet?" Ran Zijin pushed open the door and entered the house, and Aunt Zhang was still busy in the living room.

"Immediately left. I'm leaving early tomorrow, so I'll clean up the living room today. "Aunt Zhang seems to have something going on at home tomorrow, and she told Leng Muxuan a few days ago that she would leave two hours early.

"It's okay, Aunt Zhang, let's go, it's too late and there will be no bus." Ran Zijin put the eggs in the refrigerator, and then came out and took the rag from Aunt Zhang's hand, "I'll clean it up, I'm doing this." ”

Aunt Zhang couldn't resist Ran Zijin, so she had to take off her apron and tell her: "You also rest early, it doesn't matter if you can't finish hygiene, I'll just move quickly tomorrow." You're tired from a day at work. ”

"Hmm. I got it. After wiping here, I went to take a shower and go to sleep. ”

Aunt Zhang nodded, packed up her things and left, she knew Ran Zijin, and she knew that she had been in an orphanage, and she would do a lot of things, not the kind of pampered eldest lady.

Ran Zijin wiped the house with a rag, and before Aunt Zhang came, she had cleaned the sanitation here a few times, so she didn't feel unfamiliar.

When she was about to take a bath, Leng Muxuan's call came.

Ran Zijin ran to answer the phone with a smile, "Mu Xuan, haven't you slept yet?" ”

"Didn't you sleep too?" Leng Muxuan heard Ran Zijin's voice over the phone, and felt that the fatigue of the day disappeared all of a sudden, and his spirit was much better.

"I fell asleep right away. Don't work overtime, go to bed early. ”

"Hmm. Didn't I mean call me at night? Why didn't you call? Leng Muxuan was lying on the bed in the hotel, without Ran Zijin by his side, and he was a little uncomfortable.

"I just went out and forgot about it." Ran Zijin patted his head, and he actually forgot to call him.

During the day, Leng Muxuan had a meeting over there, he secretly took his mobile phone and sent her a text message, complaining that the meeting was boring, the people over there were not well prepared, and when the meeting was held, he almost ran out, which was a waste of his time.

The two of them were tired of texting for a long time, anyway, he and Luo Yining were not in the company, and she was not busy with her work, so she chatted with him.

Later, after the meeting, he had to talk to her, and her mobile phone was almost out of battery, so he had to coax him to call him at night, so he didn't stick to her anymore.

"What are you doing?" Leng Muxuan was a little aggrieved, what did she do, she actually forgot to call him!

"Bought eggs. Eat an omelette tomorrow morning. Ran Zijin said lightly.

Leng Muxuan didn't know about Qiao Zheqing's existence, and he didn't want him to think nonsense when he was on a business trip, so it was better to wait for him to come back.

"Hmm. Zijin ......"

"Huh?"

"Did you miss me?"

"Yes, there is." Ran Zijin said a little shyly.

"Do you want me to sleep with you in your arms? Who is bad without me? After Leng Muxuan heard Ran Zijin's answer, he smiled with crooked eyebrows, with a hint of ruffianism.

"Not serious!" Ran Zijin said angrily, and then said, "I'll hang up if I don't have anything to do, and I'm going to sleep." ”

"Kiss and hang up." Leng Muxuan was like a child begging for a gift.

Ran Zijin was speechless, and he didn't want him to play tricks anymore, so he loudly "popped" into the mobile phone, even if he kissed him.

"Alright, hang up! Good night! Ran Zijin, who received Leng Muxuan's call, was in a much better mood all of a sudden.
