There was a bang, and Chiba put down the mop and stepped forward to open the door.

Seeing that the ground was dragged to reflect the light, He Chong jumped on tiptoe and jumped on the sofa and lay down sideways, as if he was in his own home.

"I'm tired, if there is any water, give me a sip."

Chiba wiped her forehead and poured a glass of warm water.

"White water?"

He took it, a little disappointed, thinking that it would be more satisfying to have a cup of mellow coffee or a refreshing foreign wine.

"I'll just drink it." Chiba dragged the last small piece of ground several times and straightened his waist, "By the way, I saw you on TV just now, and I was quite angry." ”

"It's been a few days and I'm still ......broadcasting" He Chong narcissistically took a picture of his mobile phone, confirming that it was a beautiful face, "Do you think I'm photogenic, handsome?" ”

"Stinky beauty, why don't you ask me if I think the ceremony is very exciting and the scale is very grand, it is your family's biggest project this year."

He Chong showed a disdainful expression.

"What can be wonderful about the groundbreaking ceremony of a stupid hat, but according to the process, the ribbon will be cut, the group photo will be taken, and then one person will send a shovel to the tombstone to raise the soil, and it's over."

"What tombstone, foundation stone......" Chiba put away the mop and began to wipe the tables and chairs again, "Then you saw Aunt Lu, right?" ”

At the mention of Lu Meiqin, He Yan suddenly sat up with a carp and lifted his feet to the coffee table.

"Don't you say that I forgot, Song Yingchen's mother is a sycophant, nodding around me and asking for warmth, just like how familiar she is."

"Tsk, why do you say that, she is an elder after all."

"Originally, you didn't see her smugness, and she was more excited than winning the jackpot. But also, if she can have a relationship with us Ogu, her company's fame is at least ten times greater than before, and she will wake up laughing when she falls asleep. ”

“…… Lift your feet. Chiba leaned over to wipe the coffee table, and he obediently withdrew his legs.

"Don't be busy, you can still clean up this place and make a flower...... Let's go out to dinner. ”

"I've eaten, you can go."

"What, I've eaten it!"

She looked at the wall clock on the wall and asked, "Is there any problem?" ”

"We live together now, why are we so inconsistent?"

Chiba was obviously used to He Chong's unabashed expression, and didn't care as much as he used to.

"Whoever cohabits with you, and nonsense."

"Living in the same building, being kicked out by the same person, what is it called not living together?"

"I wasn't kicked out by anyone, I had to move out by myself."

"When people are getting married, you have to give up your new house, it's not the same thing as getting married."

She didn't answer, packed up all the things she needed for housework, went to the bathroom and washed her hands before coming out again.

"Aren't you hungry, aren't you going to eat?"

"Forget it, if you don't go, I won't go, it's okay to make a bowl of noodles."

Since moving to this residence, which is completely inconsistent with his identity, He Chong will stay in Chiba House every day until he sleeps before returning. Of course, he doesn't want to say goodnight to his beloved girl early, and would rather be together hungry.

"Then what's the matter, your parents should know that you don't feel distressed when you eat instant noodles every day." Chiba opened the refrigerator and looked at it, "Why don't I cook some rice and get you a scrambled egg with tomatoes, it's better than instant noodles." ”

"Nothing else, anything but eggs."

"Then eat the noodles, you wait."

Watching her go into the kitchen and work for a while, even though it was just a simple bowl of noodles, He Chong was still excited. None of his previous girlfriends have expressed their affection for him in such an insignificant and down-to-earth way, so Chiba's move made him very happy.

As soon as the noodles were ready, they smelled the aroma of the room.

"Eat slowly, blow it, it's hot."

He gobbled up noodles in his mouth, and Chiba couldn't help but laugh. This scene is so familiar, one day when he lived in the cherry blossom apartment, Song Yingchen also ate heartily with a bowl of hot noodle soup in his hand.

"It's so delicious, your craftsmanship is better than Qiu's mother." He Chong drank not a drop of noodle soup left, and smacked his mouth unsatisfied.

"Who is Mama Qiu?"

"My chef has been working in my house for more than ten years, and she makes good dishes."

"Some people in the family don't go back to cook food, and they run here to be full and hungry. Isn't your dad already angry, I think you better go home, it's not a matter to keep doing this. ”

He Chong raised his index finger triumphantly and shook it, looking like he had already planned it.

"It's not that he is angry, it's me who is angry, but it's not over yet, he apologizes to you one day and I'll go back one day."

"Your dad doesn't owe me anything to apologize to me, I've said it several times, I'm fine. I'll go for a job after a break, so don't worry about that. ”

"Don't care, I know how to deal with him, after being dictatorial by him for so many years, I should let him know what it means to be complaining."

He Chong took out the gum and chewed it exaggeratedly.

"You're back to work, so why keep him off."

"There are conditions for going back to work, if it wasn't for him agreeing to my conditions, how could I be so spineless and go to the groundbreaking ceremony."

"On what terms?"

He Chong suddenly leaned in front of her, and said mysteriously and mischievously: "I asked him to promise me what to do with you, and he nodded." ”

"What do I have to do with you, here I go again." Chiba picked up the bowl and went into the kitchen to wash, her face red and white for a while.

He Chong walked over and leaned against the door frame and asked, "By the way, will you go the day after tomorrow?" ”

She was stunned, knowing that he was talking about Song Yingchen's engagement ceremony.

"Go, that was the most important moment in his life, and he specially invited me, of course he wants to go." She deliberately made her tone seem natural.

He Chong looked at the time: "It's not too late, I'll take you to pick out decent clothes, we won't lose if we lose." With that, he reached out to grab her hand, but she quickly turned his back.

"If I talk any more nonsense, I'll go back to you."

"Okay, I'm sorry, I'm not talking nonsense, let's go, go and choose a set of clothes."

"No, the clothes you picked out are scaryly expensive, and they don't suit me."

"Expensive clothes are suitable for everyone, especially that occasion."

"If you don't buy it, you won't buy it if you kill me, I have clothes."

She was very stubborn, because she never thought about who she was going to compete with at the engagement ceremony, and these four words never had anything to do with her.

"Can you see those clothes, no one wants them if you throw them away."

"I can always pick out one or two suitable ones, and I don't buy them anyway."

"Stubborn donkey. In that case, I'll help you choose, and if I don't have anything I can see, we'll go out and buy it. ”

He Chong couldn't help but say that he walked into the Chiba bedroom, opened the wardrobe and began to choose.

Chiba couldn't help it, washed the dishes and wiped his hands clean, went back to the living room and wiped some Vaseline, and kept rubbing the palms and backs of his hands.

She knew in her heart that her clothes that wanted no style or brand were a pile of rags in He Chong's eyes, and it was impossible to choose the ones she was satisfied with. So there is no need to have low self-esteem, no need to hide it, as long as you make up your mind not to buy a new one.

After a while, He rushed out, holding up a piece of paper, his face full of confusion.

"Isn't this Clearwater Town?"

She sprang to her feet, her heart stopping for a moment.

What was held in He Chong's hand was the sketch given by the chocolate at the beginning!

She didn't answer, but rushed into the bedroom and picked up the most important bag under the closet. Fortunately, the diary inside has not been flipped.

"I didn't rummage through your things, but when I was looking for clothes, my bag fell off and the painting fell out." Afraid that she would misunderstand, He Chong explained, "I opened it out of pure curiosity and looked at it, I'm sorry." ”

"Qingshui Town...... You say the place on this painting is called Qingshui Town? She asked.

"I guess so, the awning boat, and the bridge...... Quite like that. He Chong looked at the sketch again, "When I was a child, I almost didn't plant in the water when I went to play, and I don't know what it's like now." ”

"Where is this Qingshui Town you are talking about?"

"It's about five or six hundred kilometers away from Lucheng, it's an ancient town...... By the way, where did you get this thing? ”

"Oh, a classmate drew it." She made it up.

"It's not a good drawing, it's still there, male classmate?" He Chong's curiosity went in the other direction.

She snatched the painting back from him, already sweating.

"It's just an ordinary classmate, just look at other people's paintings."

He Chong was a little puzzled, turned around and went back to the living room.

"I see, I don't have any suitable clothes, let's go out and buy a set."

"No, no, I'm ...... day after tomorrow Not the day after tomorrow. ”

"Ahh Why? ”

"I suddenly remembered that the day after tomorrow was Uncle Min's birthday, and I had to go back to Lancheng."

"Then I'll go too."

"No!" She almost shouted, and then felt that her actions were a little abnormal, "Song Yingchen is your good friend, it's inappropriate for you not to go." ”

"Isn't he also your good friend."

She fiddled anxiously with the hem of her clothes, feeling that the secret was about to be discovered.

"It's different...... I can't go anyway, I'll talk to him when I get back. ”

"Why is it so strange all of a sudden?" He Chong frowned, "Are you okay?" ”

"It's fine." She smiled reluctantly, her thoughts wandering away from the sketch called Qing Shuizhen, "It's not too early, you can go over quickly." ”

He Chong looked at her unhappily and got up after a while.

"There's nothing wrong with me, is there?"

"No, no, no. Maybe you're tired from cleaning and suddenly feel so sleepy and want to go to bed early. ”

She opened the door, He Chong walked out helplessly, and stopped trying to say something. Hearing the door next door open and close, she rushed back to the bedroom to pick up the sketch again.

Clearwater Town! This is simply the most valuable clue. With the name of the place, she could navigate her way, and without further ado, she decided to set off immediately tomorrow.

But there is still something to deal with, I can't attend the engagement ceremony, I have to talk to Song Yingchen.

changed the edited information again and again, but she always felt that the words were not in place, so she simply called up the familiar number and called it directly.

“Hey！” As soon as it was connected, Song Yingchen greeted him cordially, "I was looking for you." ”

"I've got something for you, too."

“Lady first.”

"I'm first...... Didn't bother you, did you? She found that she was still so unproductive, and the two sentences were deeply embedded in his voice.

"I don't work and I don't go to bed early, I'm very idle."

"Isn't there a lot to prepare for an engagement?"

On the other end of the phone, Song Yingchen suddenly laughed. "Looks like I'll talk first...... The engagement was canceled. ”

"Cancelled? Why? ”

There was silence.

"My fate with Amy is over, and we have decided to part peacefully."

"Break up! Why is it so sudden, didn't you just get a successful proposal? ”

"Don't make a fuss, it's a legacy of history. The conflict between me and her actually lasted for a long time, and I thought it was the time for the relationship between the two to go further, so I proposed to her. But it's a pity that I didn't feel that excited after I begged, and I didn't have the joy of achieving positive results after she agreed. We take habit for love, but we don't realize that love has long slipped away. The problem is not simply the difference between staying abroad and returning home, but the reluctance to compromise for the other side. So, take a step back to open up the sky. ”

"I don't understand, but I feel sorry for you, you are so worthy of ......" Suddenly a feeling of loss and regret filled Chiba's heart, as if chasing the last page of the novel only to find that the ending was 108,000 miles away from the imagination.

"I am very grateful to her for the years she spent with me and taught me what love is and how to love. She is like a mentor in my life, but she is not someone who can accompany me for the rest of my life. To be precise, I don't have the same heartbeat I had when I faced her now, and my desire to explore is no longer there, and my heart is at least pounding when I look at you. ”

With a click, the phone fell to the ground.

"Hey, hello, hey......"

Song Yingchen's voice still came from the mobile phone where the screen was shattered, and she only felt dizzy.

"Chiba, are you listening, you haven't said anything about looking for me......"

She frantically pressed the hang up button and turned off her phone.
