Xiaobai woke up very early, pushed open the window and found that the rain had stopped for some time. The morning sun has opened a golden gap in the gray sky, and it will be a good day today.

She didn't hang a sign to welcome the guests, and she wanted to go back early, so as not to worry about the merchants who stayed there.

The gate of Wenying Pavilion is not closed all night, and the lantern at the door is always lit all night, which can give a little warmth to people who return late. This is something she learned and did very well when she welcomed her guests.

However, she got up too early, and this time was the time when the shops were open and ready to be cleaned.

Xiao Er of the seasoning shop saw that she came early in the morning, and hurriedly said: "Although the rain has stopped, I can't come until noon." ”

"Then I won't come again, this is two hundred catties of money, send it to me directly, if I'm not there, just leave it at the door."

"Okay, no problem." Xiao Erle happily accepted the money, this time the goods were only 300 catties, and the guests came to ask for more than half of them at once. Of course he was very happy.

Xiaobai came on foot yesterday, although she was fast, but today she hurried back, so she thought about renting a car.

There is a sweet soup stall set up by an old woman next to the car rental shop, which she and Lin Wenjuan used to go to, and in the future, they will naturally have a bowl.

"Mother-in-law, a bowl of sweet soup!"

"Xiaobai!" The mother-in-law made a movement in her hand, and it was not only her who turned back, but also the two guests at the table.

Xiaobai was stunned, he didn't expect to meet them.

Lin Wenjuan got up, glanced at Chen Heng, who was a little trembling, and frowned, but still beckoned Xiaobai to come and sit. "Come here."

Hearing these three words, Chen Heng couldn't help but tremble again, and hurriedly lowered his head to hide his panicked eyes, but cold sweat had already broken out in his palms, I don't know if he was ashamed or still can't forget, his heartbeat is getting faster and faster, so blocked that he can't breathe.

What to do, this encounter was too sudden, although a year has passed, Xiaobai still feels that she is not ready to face this matter, she feels very sad, her feet are like being tied in place, and she can't lift them heavily. What about the light clouds and light wind on the surface? She can't let go, can't let go. The feeling of suffocation only increased after seeing Chen Heng again, and did not slowly dissipate because of time, as if it was hoarding a lot, and suddenly exploded at this moment.

The story of the three of them is actually very ordinary, in this Qingguo, where there are not too many boundaries between men and women, sometimes you don't have to listen too much to the family's arrangement, Xiaobai met Chen Heng at the right time, igniting the wrong feelings, Lin Wenjuan met Chen Heng at the wrong time, but it is the right two feelings in the eyes of the world.

After a long time, Xiaobai also felt that she was wrong, why did she like Chen Heng? Even if the two of them are really together, what can she give Chen Heng? For her, Chen Heng is a destination, but for Chen Heng, Lin Wenjuan is the candidate who can be his wife in the future.

Granny Baili put the sweet soup on the table, sighed, and said, "Mother-in-law's sweet soup is not delicious when it is cold, so hurry up and take it hot." Today, I put more balls, which not only warms the stomach, but also warms the heart. It's been a long time since I've seen the two of you here, so I'm about to taste my mother-in-law's craftsmanship. ”

"Mother-in-law said with a smile, you can't find a second sweet soup in the whole Huixian County. How can you still go backwards? Lin Wenjuan smiled, and also felt the alienation from Xiaobai, I am afraid that the warmth brought by the encounter that day was an illusion.

"Otherwise, I'll go first, and we'll talk about it another day." Chen Heng looked up at Lin Wenjuan, almost asking for help that she could pull herself out of this muddy algae.

But how could Xiaobai just let him go? It's like that day he ran away and left himself behind. In the same scene, this time it was actually her as a bystander watching Lin Wenjuan's face turn from red to white.

"What can't you say today? Still can't say it to my face? Xiaobai looked at him and forced himself to face the panic in his heart.

Chen Heng's stature is not tall, he looks weak and wise, and he is white, but he is a little anxious, his face is red, and he twists his hands uneasily.

"It's been a long time since we've sat down and talked, so let's finish the sweet soup and leave. Otherwise, haven't you waited here for so long in vain? Lin Wenjuan glared at him.

"Okay, okay." Chen Heng is still like that, docile and a little submissive.

"What are you talking about?" Xiaobai asked.

"It's nothing, you haven't said it yet, you're here." Lin Wenjuan was perfunctory at will, this was her true words, but she ignored the relationship between the two at this time, it was no longer the original time when the hearts were connected, such a sensitive and fragile relationship could really be destroyed immediately with a sigh.

Such a tone made Xiaobai feel that she was really a very pitiful person in the eyes of others, and she couldn't recognize reality, no matter what she said or did, or even didn't do anything, she was asking for trouble. Chen Yan just chose his own ideas, just like Lin Wenjuan, who bravely pursued his own happiness, what was wrong?

The silence between Xiaobai and Lin Wenjuan made Chen Heng more and more cramped, "Yes, I really didn't say anything, I was too busy in Xiyue City a few days ago, and we didn't meet much, after I came back, I had to deal with my mother and the school, and I haven't seen her for a long time, you know, Mrs. Lin, I don't like to see me very much, so I can't see Wen Juan every time I go to Lin Mansion, I waited for Wen Juan here for several days, and finally waited for her, today is also a coincidence, my mother asked me to buy sweet soup, Wen Juan also came to buy sweet soup for Mrs. Lin, this is what I met." Chen Heng's detailed explanation did not dispel Xiaobai's anxiety, but made her even more impatient.

Just like Chen Heng treated her gently, just as Chen Heng treated Lin Wenjuan gently, the two of them thought that each other had found their destined person, and they also wished sincerely. If it weren't for Bai Lian, they wouldn't have found out that this destined person was the same, could she be blamed?

None of them blamed anyone, but they were awkward, Lin Wenjuan listened to Lin Wenhai's words and forced Chen Heng to make a choice, and Chen Heng kept explaining, what I never had to do with you is that the little white girl misunderstood. What kind of girl's family should be reserved, just like Wen Juan. What I am bent on getting to the top of the university rankings, I have no intention of anything else. And so on.

"Why explain?" Xiaobai smiled helplessly.

Lin Wenjuan looked at her and replied, "Didn't you ask?" ”

But what an answer! Xiaobai's eyebrows couldn't help but move, and a fire suddenly appeared in her heart, she looked at Lin Wenjuan and said calmly: "Then I'll also explain, I'm just going to go to a car rental company, and I'm coming over for breakfast by the way, it's a coincidence that you met, and it's also a coincidence that I met you, I didn't follow you, and I didn't secretly inquire about your news, you don't have to be so nervous." I'm just going to ask you what you're talking about, just like you used to, you don't have to. ”

"What happened to us?" Lin Wenjuan smiled stupidly.

Xiaobai suddenly felt very hurt, the best friend and sweetheart she once cherished so much, now she is only wary and strange to her, if you want to be angry, shouldn't she also be angry? She looked at Chen Heng and suddenly put it down, "Scholars shouldn't be like this." ”

Lin Wenjuan was slightly stunned and said: "Xiaobai, people are always changing, and all the time you come, you are misunderstanding him." ”

The fire in Xiaobai's heart suddenly exploded, she hated to misunderstand these two words, they are not children, can't they even speak clearly to each other? Especially Chen Heng, he is the top of the academy, a gentleman's knowledge should be exquisite, but shouldn't his morality and cultivation be more kind and broad? "Wen Juan, I misunderstood."

"It's my fault." Chen Heng answered, "I shouldn't have misunderstood you." ”

Xiaobai sneered: "It's your fault, although you have a full stomach, but you always like a child, once you encounter something else, you don't know what to do, the book doesn't tell you the answer, you never want others to tell you, Ah Heng, we shouldn't be like this, I never blame you for choosing Wenjuan, but you shouldn't have chosen her, just deny what you once said to me, you treat me as a fool, I don't accept it!" ”

Lin Wenjuan and Chen Heng were a little stunned, because from the beginning to the present, Xiaobai has always been silent, silently accepting everything that happened, silently approving the persuasion of others, and never saying everything in their hearts at one time.

"I didn't..." Chen Heng lowered his head.

"Xiaobai, we have no malicious intentions, you know. Chen Heng is at fault, but he is such a person, he is good-looking and well-educated, it is easy for people to misunderstand, this is not his fault, nor is it your fault, aren't you all right? ”

On the issue of Chen Heng, Lin Wenjuan has never been calm, it doesn't matter which of the two of them loves Chen Heng more deeply, because of Lin Wenjuan's domineering, from the beginning, Xiaobai lost. "Wen Juan, you're right, people will change."

"You hate me, don't you? Hate me for forcing him to make a choice you don't want to see, hate him for choosing me. ”

Xiaobai wanted to answer no, but if she didn't hate the two people in front of her from her heart, why could she not go to the door of the Lin family for a whole year and turn a blind eye to Lin Wenjuan?

Lin Wenjuan's eyes were red, and she became emotional, maybe she just wanted to hear Xiaobai tell lies, but Xiaobai never lied, she was a little worried, what if Xiaobai still couldn't let go? "Yes, I feel ashamed of you, I am older than you, I am your sister, it stands to reason that I shouldn't compete with you, but the result of this choice was not made by me, it was Chen Heng, he just chose a more suitable one, what's wrong with him? If you really drill the horns of the bull and hope that we will never get along, then let's make it clear today!

Who am I provoking? Bai Lian also came to persuade me, saying that I am older than you, and you have been wronged and want me to be considerate of you! Otherwise, with my temperament, I couldn't help but quarrel with you a long time ago, but it's just a man, you and I have been friends for so many years, and I would do it like this for a man, I am so good to you, I can't compare to Chen Heng! You think he's good, don't you? I'll give him to you, and kill him as much as you want. Anyway, don't hate me for that reason! ”

Lin Wenjuan couldn't help crying as she spoke. At the beginning, Chen Heng was wavering and was forced to make a decision by her with the power of thunder, but the result turned out to be like this. She didn't expect Xiaobai to be really angry, she had never been angry with herself, for so many years, she cared about Xiaobai, and only Xiaobai could tolerate all her temper.

Chen Heng had already been blinded, and looked at the two of them with a pale face.

Such a situation also overwhelmed Ah Yun behind Lin Wenjuan, and it was absolutely impossible for the reunion of the three of them to be a coincidence. It must be the ghost of the eldest young master, otherwise Madame never eats things on the street, why did she have to tell the young lady to buy this sweet soup this morning?

The fire in Xiaobai's heart was extinguished.

Obviously, everything can't go back to the past, and what can't be changed in the past can't change at this moment, and it's futile to say anything, "I'm going to go first, I'm going back to open a store." The roses in the courtyard opened, and I came to drink tea when I had time. ”

"You..." Lin Wenjuan thought that Xiaobai would have a big quarrel with her, but she didn't expect it to be the same as before, she couldn't say what Xiaobai was thinking now.

"What am I? I'm fine! Xiaobai turned around and shouted, several people were stunned, emotional matters have always been confused, after thinking about it for so long, it is really enough, she pointed at Chen Heng and said sharply: "I warn you!" Don't be complacent just because the daughter-in-law you want to marry is the eldest lady of the county magistrate's family! Clamp your tail tighter in the future, or someone will clean you up! ”

Chen Heng pursed his lips, like a frightened child, at a loss.

"You give me a memory! Wen Juan has always been my good sister, but you and I have nothing to do with it anymore, from now on, don't remember me, don't say that you once knew me, don't talk to me again, it's better to stay away when you see me, I don't want to have anything to do with you anymore! ”

Xiaobai looked at Lin Wenjuan, a smile appeared on her face, and there was gradually a voice on the street, sure enough, Lin Wenhai was right, if she was not sensible, she would really be ignorant of current affairs.

After a long while, it wasn't until Granny Baili was about to go home that Lin Wenjuan came back to her senses and asked Chen Heng gently: "Are you really happy with me?" It's not because I forced you to choose me. ”

Chen Heng hurriedly waved his hand and said in a panic: "Naturally not." ”

"Okay, come to Lin Mansion tomorrow, if you have anything to say to my mother, remember, there is only this one chance, if you miss it, I have never blamed you before, I will hate you to death after you can!"

Chen Heng looked at the departing master and servant, and his heart was mixed, he didn't lie, he didn't make a choice because of Lin Wenjuan, everything was his willingness. Half of the decisions in his life were made for him by his mother, what books to read, who to socialize with, what to eat, and what clothes to wear. Even later, he met Xiaobai and Lin Wenjuan by chance, and liked Xiaobai first, and it was because of his mother that he chose Lin Wenjuan.

He is not a person who judges people by their appearance, for him, Xiaobai and Lin Wenjuan, after all, Xiaobai is more interesting, but his mother is right, only Lin Wenjuan will be of great help to him in the future, and this help is too important to him. He needs to prove himself, especially after his father's death, he has to take one step to become a genius, or he will be sorry for the unscrupulous criticism that his mother has suffered all these years.
