Reason told him that he should refuse, and he should keep his distance from Jiang Yuchen.

Can......

The worried little man bewitched in his heart over and over again, and in the end, Jiang Manqing said goodbye to Qiao An Chuming and walked to the car.

One step, two steps......

The distance was getting closer and closer, and her heartbeat was beating faster and faster.

"Miss Jiang." The assistant opened the car door for her.

At a glance, she saw Jiang Yuchen sitting inside with his eyes closed.

His face was ...... It's really bad.

What the hell happened to him?

Is it uncomfortable?

Ten fingers clenched together inadvertently, suppressing the sudden wanton emotion in her chest, she clenched her fingers and bent in.

Seeing this, the assistant was overjoyed.

His eyes rolled, he looked at Jiang Yuchen and persuaded bitterly: "Director Jiang, the medicine is in the locker, remember to take it when you go home." But I think it's better to go to the hospital, it's a big or small thing to get sick, don't ......."

The man who had closed his eyes suddenly opened his eyes, and swept his eyes with impatience in the coldness.

Assistant: "......"

He immediately made a silent gesture, then closed the door, and after thinking about it, he ran to the driver and explained to him a few times before signaling that the driver could go.

The car started slowly.

The assistant stood in place and watched for a while, before walking to her car with Jiang Manqing's car keys, and when he passed by the two brothers, Qiao An and Chu Ming, he deliberately stood still and bowed his head to them without humility or arrogance.

Soon, Jiang Manqing's car also started and left.

It wasn't until she could no longer see that Joan retracted her gaze.

It was cold.

Rubbing his hands, he turned his head to look at Chu Ming, who had an unknown expression, and frowned: "Brother, don't tell me, you're going to give up?" What I told you in vain? Don't, it's impossible for Xiao Manqing and that man, he will only make Xiao Manqing sad, but you are different, you can give her happiness. ”

Chu Ming didn't answer, but smiled and said softly: "Get in the car, I still have to buy things for my mother." ”

"Brother!"

"Get in the car."

Qiao An is not a foolish character, he will definitely know if he wants to know the answer, he immediately stopped Chu Ming, whether it is his expression or tone, he hates iron and steel.

"Brother! You have something to say! Don't change the subject! ”

Chu Ming simply stood still.

"They say that photography requires patience, but I don't think your temperament has been smoothed out at all." He smiled at him and said lightly, seeing that he was about to shout disapprovingly, he smiled helplessly, and his voice was a little lower, "I don't want to have a deeper fate with her, but obviously, her heart ...... I can't get into anyone else. ”

The authorities are confused, and the bystanders are clear.

He didn't believe it when Wen Mochen said it that night, but today, he saw that even if Jiang Manqing forced himself to keep his distance, his eyes couldn't deceive people.

She likes Jiang Yuchen.

Therefore, it is useless for him to like it, the time is not right, and he can only say regrets.

When Qiao An heard this, she immediately rolled her eyes: "How do you know if you can't do it if you don't try?!" ”

This time, Chu Ming didn't answer again.

"Brother!"

……

Inside the car.

The breath that belonged to that man filled the cramped space, and between the breaths, it seemed to be him.

Jiang Manqing sat stiffly, unnatural.

No one spoke, the car was too quiet, but the quieter it was, the more nervous she became, and the words of the assistant in her head flashed back and forth with his sick face she saw, and she couldn't get rid of it.

There was an impulse in her heart, and she wanted to ...... Ask him how he is.

It cannot be denied that she is worried about him.

However, she couldn't ask, and even her throat seemed to be blocked by something, and she didn't even have the instinct to speak, even if she told herself over and over again that it was just ordinary concern.

"Ahem! Ahem......"

Suddenly, a cough sounded.

Jiang Manqing came back from his trance and turned his head suddenly, only to see the man's coughing red side face.

Heart, pinched.

The lip flap moved slightly, and Jiang Manqing finally mustered up the courage to speak: "You ......"

"Buzz—"

She was interrupted by the vibrating sound of her phone, and the ringtone completely drowned out her small mosquito-like voice.

"Hey ......"

She heard his hoarse voice.

"Jiang Yuchen! He found me! Are you fucking kraft candy?! Can't get rid of it?! How come I didn't notice him with such thick skin before?! Help me figure out a way to get him away! I don't want to see him for a second! ”

It was Gu Xiangxiang's voice.

It's loud.

Jiang Manqing could hear clearly.

"Jiang Ye, your uncle! Take away your dirty hands! Don't touch my daughter! ! ”

Another roar, as if furious to the extreme.

Jiang Manqing listened, as if subconsciously, and as if she couldn't help it, she looked at Jiang Yuchen.

Jiang Yuchen's expression was faint, without the slightest change, and he only said one word when he heard the words: "Okay." ”

When the words fell, he simply hung up the phone.

Jiang Manqing was startled, as if he was a thief, and suddenly turned his head to look out the window.

She didn't know why she was doing it.

That is, it's ......

While she was thinking about it, she was distracted and heard the man make a phone call and whisper a few words.

Jiang Manqing was in a trance again.

He ...... to Gu Xiangxiang That's nice.

After that, the car returned to quiet, and no one spoke again until he returned to the Jiang family's villa, and Jiang Manqing couldn't ask his worries after all.

Stop, get off.

She saw the man push the door and get out of the car, without looking at her all the time.

Although she had been mentally prepared for a long time, and she had already told herself that she should be like this, but when she really faced it, she realized that she was actually ...... I was very sad, and the indescribable dullness in my chest was far from the relief I thought.

Closing her eyes, she followed.

As soon as she raised her eyes, she saw his back.

It's close.

But it's also far away.

That's how far she was from him.

"Yuchen! Manqing! Are you back? When Aunt Tong saw the two of them, she immediately smiled, "What a coincidence, I was about to call you, but I didn't expect you to come back." ”

Jiang Yuchen greeted with his chin: "Happy New Year, Aunt Tong." ”

"Aunt Tong, Happy New Year." Jiang Manqing tried to raise a smile and said.

Aunt Tong smiled contentedly: "Okay, good, you guys also have a good New Year," her eyes moved away from the faces of the two, and she said again, "Mr. said, he will cook the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner himself, he will come back in the afternoon, I will prepare the dishes for you, just in the refrigerator, the time is almost up, I will go back first." ”

After a pause, she habitually instructed a few more words, and only after explaining it was all explained did she leave with the driver and go back to her home for the New Year.

With her leaving, only Jiang Yuchen and Jiang Manqing were left in the villa.

For a while, Jiang Manqing only felt that a dullness that was even more torturous than being in the car swept over.

"I'll go upstairs to rest, your room is still there, it's been cleaned."

As his thoughts drifted away, the man's indifferent voice came from the front.

Jiang Manqing raised his head sharply.

Then I saw the man walking with his long legs in the direction of the stairs.

He's been ...... It's all about turning its back to oneself.

Jiang Manqing was stunned.

Suddenly, she thought of Di Jing's expression and his words that night.

And sure enough...... I hate myself a lot.

When he came back to his senses again, he was no longer in sight.

As he disappeared, the uncomfortable awkward silence in the air seemed to slowly disappear, but the dullness in her chest became more and more intense, and unconsciously, she bit her lip.

His eyes trembled slightly, and after a long time, Jiang Manqing moved his body silently and raised his feet upstairs.

Every step of the way, she walked a little hard.

The second she walked to the front of the room, her mood was indescribably complicated, and she stood there for a long time before she pushed the door open with determination.

At a glance, nothing has changed, it is still the same as when she left.

The heart trembled.

Biting his lip, Jiang Manqing walked in.

The room was very clean, it was cleaned every day, the air was very fresh, and the windows were opened for ventilation about every day.

Jiang Manqing walked forward step by step.

Suddenly......

She stood still, and walked briskly forward as she reacted.

It's a gift.

Deep in his heart, as if he had been touched by something, Jiang Manqing only felt sour, and as if there was an emotion about to move, rampage to rush out.

She crouched down and found a card on the gift box—

"Dad's daughter Manqing, Happy New Year, this will always be your home, tired and wronged, happy and sad, you can go home at any time."

Very familiar font, from Jiang Shaodong.

The sourness surged into his eyes, and he couldn't hold back, Jiang Man cleared away his tears.

Putting down the card, she opened the gift box.

It's a photo album.

Picked up, she opened.

It's just that the next second she opened it, her breathing stagnated, her eyelashes fluttered, she bit her lip, and her fingers trembled slightly and continued to look down.

But after only turning two pages, the discomfort hidden in the deepest part of my heart could no longer be suppressed, and it rushed out at once, spreading to her whole body, and surrounded her impenetrable.

It's all ...... The photos of her and Jiang Yuchen or Jiang Jintong, to be precise, are basically solo or group photos of her and Jiang Yuchen, from the time she was taken back to Jiang's house until she left.

One by one, all of them are memories.

It's beautiful.

But now......

She and him can never go back, even back to the original simple brother and sister.

He hated her.

And she, not knowing how to face it, only did ...... Evade.

……

Jiang Manqing woke up from a dream, and she dreamed of Jiang Yuchen.

When she opened her eyes, she was short of breath, and it took her a while to come back to her senses, and she blinked, only to realize that it was ...... outside. It's black!

Startled, she quickly touched her phone to check the time.

Half past four in the afternoon!

She remembered that she looked at the photo album, she was in a bad mood, and she wanted to sleep for a while to adjust, but she didn't expect to accidentally sleep for more than three hours?!

At this point, it's time for Dad to come back, right?

pressed his eyebrows, didn't waste any more time, Jiang Manqing quickly lifted the quilt and got up.

Downstairs.

As soon as he walked to the living room, Jiang Manqing faintly smelled a fragrance coming from the kitchen.

Thinking of Aunt Tong's words before leaving, she smiled and walked quickly to the kitchen to help.

"Dad, you ......"

The words stopped abruptly, and her smile froze at the corners of her mouth.

Jiang Manqing never thought that the figure busy in the kitchen was not Jiang Shaodong, but ...... Jiang Yuchen!
