Chapter 53: A Rainy Night
Sitting in the co-pilot, Xiao Ran felt that the atmosphere between the two of them could no longer be described as embarrassing.
It's embarrassing!!
Xiao Ran watched the raindrops outside the window hit the car window, and then quickly fell, chaotic, just like her mood at this time.
She still didn't have the courage to face him, and she was embarrassed when they met several times. Maybe she's always been like this, and she can't coax it.
In this way, the two were almost silent all the way, and when they were about to arrive at Xiao Ran's apartment, Lu Jingchen broke the silence.
"Well, let's just play as if nothing happened?"
"Huh?" I don't know if it's because Lu Jingchen suddenly opened his mouth, and Xiao Ran didn't hear clearly. Still didn't understand Lu Jingchen's words. Xiao Ran didn't answer.
"Back to the beginning, just friends."
Is it really okay for us to ......? Wouldn't it be embarrassing?
"You still insist on not resigning, just because you want to stay in Xingchen." Hit the nail on the head and showed no mercy, Lu Jingchen said her hesitation like that.
"That's why you went back to China, and that's why you didn't leave after you saw me."
"In that case, it's better to find a suitable relationship and avoid embarrassment"
"Let go of the past and stay. I know you're talented, and since you like it, stay there. ”
Lu Jingchen said a lot, Xiao Ran only felt that he was in a trance. He said, let go of the past and stay.
If everything continues like this, Xiao Ran doesn't know if she will have the courage to continue to stay. And he gave her a reason...... A reason to stay.
“…… Good. After a long time, Xiao Ran finally found his voice and answered him, maybe even Xiao Ran herself didn't notice how trembling the syllables she uttered when she spoke.
After a brief exchange, there was another endless silence between the two. The heavy rain outside the car window was more intense than before, and even the speed of the windshield wipers began to speed up and down.
The car stopped downstairs in the apartment, and Lu Jingchen didn't react, and the two of them were silent.
"Thank you...... Thank you! ”
He undoubtedly helped her, and she should have said thank you to him! And they seemed so close, yet so far away.
It's so close that he's nosy, he's going to take care of her emotions, and he's so far away that it's like a first acquaintance, so indifferent that he's speechless.
"It's still raining." Lu Jingchen didn't know where to take an umbrella, handed it to Xiao Ran, and then unlocked the car door.
"Thank you!" After speaking, Xiao Ran opened the car door and walked into the unit door.
This night, after all, they are different from each other, whether they have let go or not, their silence has pulled them back to the position of "friends" - this is a safe but unwilling position.
Xiao Ran, who had just finished handing in the design drawings, said that he looked relaxed, got up early in the morning to make breakfast, and no longer worked overtime until so late in the evening.
And Xia Qing is not so lucky, there are a lot of things in the company, she works overtime until the early hours of the morning every day, and she has to get up early to go to the company the next day, and she is already planning to live here permanently, both breakfast and relatively close to the company, so that she can get up half an hour late in the morning, and so on to refuse.
It was a long time before that rainy night, and Xiao Ran had no intention of meeting Lu Jingchen in the company, probably because the conversation that day worked, and they were not so embarrassed, although Lu Jingchen probably didn't think so.
