House, children's education in the future, which is not a huge expenditure, how can the salary of the institute be supported.

Is it all up to her? Why?

After the breakup, she mentioned Ji Fan to her friends more than once.

High school tablemates, college roommates, work colleagues...... She involuntarily mentions him, her ex-boyfriend, when chatting with them, explaining the reasons for her breakup.

Of course they agreed with her, and she felt more and more that she was right.

She didn't regret it at all.

The only thing that made her unhappy was that when she proposed to break up, he actually agreed directly without the slightest retention.

Until one day, she found out that she was going to celebrate her twenty-ninth birthday.

She's about to run three.

She is running fast, and in her dream, someone who is as smart and excellent as Ji Fan and as successful as her has not appeared.

It's not that there are no suitors around, and she has also fallen in love again, but those people are either not smart enough or funny enough, compared with Ji Fan, each of them is mediocre.

She suddenly felt that in fact, Ji Fan was also okay, although he didn't have money, but this shortcoming, after a round of comparison, could be made up for with other advantages.

Highly educated, no money but decent job, and, more handsome than all other female colleagues' boyfriends and husbands.

Anyway, now that she has a seven-figure annual salary, she was unwilling to take on more a few years ago, and it seems acceptable at this time.

She already has enough financial strength.

During that time, she was ready to move, paying special attention to the high school and college groups, and even deliberately provoked the topic twice.

But when she saw that the group said that Ji Fan had nothing to do, she hesitated a little in her heart.

was hesitating, she heard that Ji Fan was going to investment banking.

Almost instantly, she decided to change her itinerary and go to City A.

She clearly knows how popular Ji Fan will be when he steps out of the closed research institute and enters the financial circle.

The meeting was not as good as it could have been. She has her own reserve and pride, of course, she will not stalk to the death, but if she lets go, will she let a stranger and latecomer who has never paid sit back and enjoy the success?

She hesitated.

But all hesitation and scheming ended completely after she saw Ji Fan and Lin Qixi's video.

Ji Fan came over.

Yu Man put away his chaotic thoughts.

She took a deep breath and faced him with a triumphant gesture.

"I know you're busy with work, so I can only wait for you here, but no matter how late it is, I'll still wait."

Ji Fan didn't have any expression, "Something to do with me?" ”

His tone was detached.

"I've been waiting for you here for three hours, can I just leave after a few words?" Yu Man's attitude was significantly different from last time, "Have you eaten dinner?" Would you like to order something? ”

"I've eaten in the cafeteria."

After a pause, "Why don't you go to the teahouse and sit down!" ”

He didn't say go in and sit, but went to the teahouse.

Yu Man smiled bitterly.

The fragrance of tea is lingering.

The two ordered a cup of tea, and Yu Man spoke: "I went on a business trip to City A some time ago to make up for the meal I didn't have at a restaurant last time, but I didn't expect you to come back here." ”

"Liu Ming said that he was quite worried about you, saying that your state was not right, but it was not good to ask too much." Yu Man was concerned, "Is there something wrong with the work?" ”

Ji Fan raised his eyes and glanced at her.

Where would Liu Ming worry about something, it would be impatient to use others to detour around the bend like this.

He looked at the table below, intending to end the meeting as soon as possible, and said very briefly: "There is no problem, I am more suitable for the institute." ”

Noticing his expression, Yu Man decided to immediately change the topic - this topic was not important at all, and she was not interested in understanding it, but she was just using Liu Ming as an excuse to rationalize her behavior of finding him this time.

With a smile on her lips, she entered the question she really cared about: "By the way, why did you paint with Lin Qixi?" In City A, everyone gathered and discussed for a long time, blaming us for not saying that Lin Qixi was our high school classmate earlier. How can we say this, I've never been familiar with her. ”

"How did you end up together?" Curious, she asked again.

Ji Fan said lightly: "I am a high school classmate with her, so it's not strange to have a connection." ”

Yu Man choked up.

You're high school classmates with her, so I'm not? Isn't this answer too perfunctory?

"Yes." Yu Man's expression agreed, "But she has never been in the class group, and I thought she didn't like to play with her former classmates." ”

"Speaking of which, she is the most successful person in our class right now." She stirred the coffee and sighed, "On the contrary, we don't have much to offer, out of society, what is the use of good grades, it still depends on emotional intelligence." ”

Ji Fan lowered his eyes slightly: "She graduated from a key university." ”

"Really?" She looked a little abruptly, "I didn't pay much attention when I was studying." But I admire her very much, in such a complicated place in the entertainment industry, dragons and snakes are mixed, everyone has them, she can mix so well and be so popular, she must have paid a lot. ”

Her tone was relaxed, as if she were chatting casually.

"Yu Man."

Ji Fan suddenly called her name.

Yu Manton lived.

"I thought, maybe I should say sorry to you."

Under Yu Man's surprised eyes, Ji Fan looked directly at her and said unhurriedly: "I promised too rashly back then, only considering that you were independent enough, but I never thought about what I had to give. As it turned out, I was not a good choice. Luckily, you've always been smart and cut your losses in time. ”

He said sorry in his mouth, but there was a coldness in his eyes when he looked at her, and there was the slightest apology.

Yu Man suddenly understood that he was not apologizing at all, it was clear that she had just hinted that Qixi might be in the wrong position, and he couldn't wait to fight back for her.

And this seemingly apologetic sentence is nothing more than telling her from beginning to end that he never really loved her.

For a moment, her heart felt like a pinprick.

She was just a hint that he could hurt people in such words.

Yu Man almost wanted to sneer, "Ji Fan, this is your demeanor?" ”

Ji Fan's expression was indifferent: "We haven't been in touch for a long time, why should you?" ”

Yu Man stopped talking, and all the temptations that had been prepared were now meaningless.

Her unwillingness to grow like weeds these days was instantly watered, and it was completely cold.

She knew that she had completely miscalculated the weight and remaining feelings in Ji Fan's heart, and he didn't even have the patience to deal with her, so he lost all his blood.

But fortunately, this defeat was not seen by others.

She tried her best to finish the tea elegantly, beckoned the waiter to pay, and when she got up, she said meaningfully: "No wonder you will go back to the institute, after all, you don't have to worry about things outside your body anymore, I wish you can hold on to it." ”

At this point, we don't have to see each other in this life.

Ji Fan sat in the teahouse for a while.

When he left, it was pouring light rain outside, and he stood under the eaves, and suddenly thought, if he was already with her at this time, should he report to her about today's events?

What was he going to say? What will happen to her?

In the end, though, he probably chose not to mention it.

After all, he didn't want her to think too much......

He was distracted for a long time, and soon realized his ridiculousness, cocked up his collar, and walked into the rain with his head down.

When he got home, he was soaking wet.

Just after taking a shower, the phone rang.

On the other end was Liu Ming's sneering voice, "That, I accidentally said that I missed my mouth, is Yu Man looking for you today?" ”

"Hmm!"

Liu Ming gossiped, "What did she say to you?" ”

"It's nothing, we probably won't see each other again."

Liu Ming couldn't help but sigh after understanding it: "Lang's heart is like iron." ”

"You didn't say anything about me painting with Qixi, did you?"

"Of course not, I'm really quick to say that you go back."

"I said, you won't be in your heart, hey~~~" He shook his head, "Speaking of which, looking up at Qixing is really beautiful, lively and cute, like a little girl, I still can't accept that she is a big star." ”

"But even though she's your high school classmate, she's too far away to climb now. And it seems that big stars are not easy to approach. ”

Ji Fan was silent for a while, and said after a while: "She gave me two tickets for painting and asked me to go with you, I didn't tell you." ”

Liu Ming raised his voice: "What? ”

He couldn't believe it: "She gave me a ticket?" ”

"Hmm!" Ji Fan faced the night and closed his eyes, "Liu Ming, she is a star who is very close to her, but I made her angry." ”

Liu Ming didn't ask the reason, knowing that he didn't say anything when he asked, just changed the topic.

"I'm going abroad the day after tomorrow, I hope I'm abroad and can hear your good news."

He said good news, he understood.

Late at night, the home seems more and more deserted.

Ji Fan thought, fortunately, the New Year is coming.

But this time I went home before the new year, and in previous years, I didn't go home until the first day of junior high school.

His parents were surprised to see him, "Why did you come home so early this year?" ”

Ji's mother looks very good, but the first sentence at the beginning made Ji Fan sad.

He spent so little time with his parents.

The parents were very happy that their son came back a year ago this time, and they arranged a table full of dishes that Ji Fan likes to eat.

Ji Fan ate two more bowls of rice.

Sure enough, the parents were even happier.

The second elder asked about Ji Fan's work, chatted about work at will, watched TV and chatted with his parents for a few hours, and then Ji Fan returned to the room.

His room wasn't too big, it was north-facing, and he spent his entire teenage years here.

After he was admitted to college, he rarely came back, so the room was still the same as when he was in high school, most of the books on the shelves were the books he read at that time, and the cabinets were neatly arranged with all kinds of trophies he had won since he was a child.

He paused for a moment, pulled out a book, and flipped through it in front of the bookcase.

Ji's mother came in to bring him fruit, glanced at it, and said strangely, "What are you doing reading high school textbooks?" ”

"Tidy it up." Yu Jifan closed the book a little unnaturally and put it back on the shelf.

In fact, when I went home this time, in addition to visiting my parents, there was a strange emotion in my heart.

For a while, he often recalled high school inexplicably, again and again, as if trying to dig up something in those past memories that he had overlooked.
