There was no later.

Because, she's gone.

But at this moment......

The candlelight dinner that I didn't wait for back then appeared in the form of tonight.

Is it irony?

Or, can it be regarded as making up for the regrets of her year and even the rest of her life?

The heart suddenly throbbed, and Jiang Manqing was a little uncomfortable.

Sullen, she lowered her eyes, hiding the emotions that should not be in her eyes, forcing herself not to think about it again.

But there are some things, some feelings, how can you say that you don't want to want to?

If you could, there would probably be no such thing as being trapped by love in this world.

Affection is the most uncontrollable.

But......

In a trance, she thought of Jiang Yuchen's calm and hated her that night, the truth that Gu Xiangxiang told herself, his impatience in the kitchen before and her letting her leave, and the ...... she and him had been in the past few months It's like a stranger.

She hated her lack of neatness.

It shouldn't be like this......

The more he thought about it, the more uncontrollable some thoughts became, and while his chest was suffocating, looking at the table of delicious food in front of him, Jiang Manqing only felt bitter.

And suddenly, she wanted to look up at him, even if it was just for a second.

But she didn't dare, she didn't have that courage.

She could only eat in silence to hide the discomfort in her heart.

Can......

The deepest part of his heart has been rampage wantonly, after all, Jiang Manqing still couldn't hold back, and quickly, secretly raised his head and glanced at the man as if unintentionally.

Under the soft candlelight, his eyebrows were as good as they were back then, and even the coldness had decreased a lot.

It's just that this glance is like a poppy, knowing that it is poisonous, knowing that it will only be a catastrophe, but she is still willing to be contaminated.

Sweet.

The heart trembled.

The fingers of her other hand clenched unconsciously, and she watched greedily until he moved, as if to look up, and then quickly withdrew it as if he were about to look up.

Bowing her head, she pretended to eat seriously.

She didn't know that the man's gaze at her was dark and dark, and there were thousands of emotions rolling in his eyes, but in the end he was still calm.

In a few seconds, he withdrew his gaze.

On the other side, after realizing that he didn't look at herself, Jiang Manqing's tense body finally relaxed slightly, and she breathed a sigh of relief imperceptibly, followed by a loss that she knew she shouldn't have but couldn't control.

She stared at the braised shrimp in the bowl for a long time.

No one spoke.

An eerie silence hung over the living room.

In the end, Jiang Manqing peeked at him again while he was picking up vegetables.

And after a few times, she actually gave birth to a kind of extravagant hope that she didn't dare to have-

Wouldn't it be nice if we could keep the power out tonight?

But the reason why extravagant hope is extravagant hope is that it doesn't know when it will break people's minds and show the nakedness that they least want to face in front of them.

Electricity, after all, is coming.

Just as she couldn't help but peek at him again.

The moment the surrounding lights came on, Jiang Manqing only felt dazzling, she subconsciously squinted, and when she opened it again, she gradually became clear-

Dreams will wake up after all, and stolen ones are destined not to belong to them.

The man, like that, just thinks of himself as a stranger.

With a tingling pain in his heart, Jiang Manqing lowered his head again.

A different kind of candlelit dinner, neither of them invested, let alone enjoyed, to be exact, this is comparable to...... self-torture, but neither of the two was willing to get out first.

It's just that no matter how reluctant you are, there is still an end time.

Eating without knowing the taste, Jiang Manqing silently got up and began to clean up, even if the man clearly and coldly said that she didn't need to do it, she just couldn't hear it.

By the time I was done, it was half an hour later.

After looking at the time and hesitating for a long time, Jiang Manqing still walked to the sofa, glanced at the man who seemed to be resting with his eyes closed, and said softly: "You...... Rest well, I ...... Go back first. ”

The man didn't move, I don't know if he didn't hear it or didn't want to talk to it.

Jiang Manqing bit his lower lip, ignored the suffocation in his chest, and turned around to leave.

"Where?"

An indifferent voice rang out at this moment.

The next second, she crashed into the man's deep eyes, which seemed to glow with chill.

Before she could respond, the man's mocking voice followed—

"It's snowing outside, and the forecast says it's going to be about the next night, this kind of weather...... Who are you trying to trouble? If something happens, will you explain it to Dad or me? Well? ”

That tone......

His chest was even tighter, Jiang Manqing bit his lip, and his eyes became sour inexplicably.

"I ......"

Jiang Yuchen stood up suddenly.

For a moment, Jiang Manqing had a kind of suppressed hallucination, and even felt breathless.

"No driver, no car, you have to go, walk back by yourself."

The words that were more indifferent and cold than before were thrown down, and there seemed to be undisguised impatience.

Then, Jiang Manqing watched him turn around and leave, his face expressionless.

After a while, she was the only one left in the huge living room.

Jiang Manqing stood in place, stiffening her body for a long time, and finally, she lowered her eyes and shed a tear of grievance very unproductively.

But obviously, she shouldn't be wronged, and there is nothing to be wronged about......

In the end, Jiang Manqing did not leave.

After being alone for a long time, she silently went upstairs and returned to her room.

took a sullen bath, Jiang Manqing lay directly on the bed, just tossing and turning, she didn't fall asleep, but the more she lay down, the more uncomfortable she became.

In the end, she simply got up, took a long down jacket from the closet and put it on, opened the curtains, and opened the balcony door—

Look at the snow.

The constant temperature in the villa was on, and the moment the balcony door was opened, the cold wind raging outside suddenly blew in the face, and the cold was biting.

Jiang Manqing felt that he was awake in an instant, and even the indescribable restlessness in his body disappeared cleanly.

She thought, it's good to be cold and cold, at least it can make her stop thinking nonsense.

The snow is indeed very heavy.

Piece by piece, flying all over the sky, very beautiful.

Jiang Manqing has liked to watch snow since she was a child, she lived in the north before she came to the Jiang family, and it snowed in that city in winter, unlike Qingcheng, a southern city that rarely snows, and even if it does, it is rarely as big as tonight.

In my impression, after she came to Jiang's house, there were three impressive snows in Qingcheng in winter.

The first one was the first year she came to Jiang's house, and she remembered that time she jumped up happily and ran out excitedly to play with building a snowman, but the snow was too small to pile up, so Jiang Shaodong coaxed her to wait for the night.

Waiting for the next morning, she was able to build a snowman, she smiled happily and took a lot of photos in the snow, not only that, but she also pestered Jiang Yuchen to accompany her, Jiang Yuchen at that time......

Memories come to an abrupt halt.

The smile on Jiang Manqing's lips froze, and finally became dim.

Why do you think of him again......

The mood was uncontrollable, and there was no longer any interest in watching the snow, Jiang Manqing turned around and prepared to go back to the room.

"Click-"

With a slight sound, it was especially loud in this quiet night.

Jiang Manqing's body froze suddenly.

Is that......

The sound of a lighter.

Reflexively, she looked up at the balcony next to her.

A blurred figure appeared on the frosted glass, and almost at the same time, she ducked behind the potted plant next to her!

Her heart was pounding, and for a moment, her mind was full of questions.

Isn't his room at the end of the other side?

How......

Suddenly, she thought of Gu Xiangxiang.

Now that he knows that his room has been slept in by others, even if he changes the sheets and quilt covers or even the bed, with his level of cleanliness, I am afraid that he will never step into that room in his life.

It's just that there are many empty rooms in the villa, and there are a lot of them on the third floor, and it's so quiet.

Why did he ......

Do you have to choose a room next to her?

Jiang Manqing didn't understand, and he ...... I don't dare to understand.

She was afraid, afraid that she was self-inflicted.

However, on second thought, isn't she making a fool of herself?

He had already said it so clearly that night, he had misunderstood and hurt him for so many years, it was too late for him to hate her, how could he forgive her?

Thinking like this, she only felt that her heart was gradually going down, and it was slowly getting cold.

The best option at this moment is to turn around and go back to the room, when nothing has happened and you don't know that he is next door.

Can......

"Jiang Yuchen! It's snowing! Come and see the snow! Would you like to watch the snow with me?! I love watching the snow! Will you build a snowman and have a snowball fight with me tomorrow morning? Jiang Yuchen! Promise me! ”

The image of the third snow in my memory suddenly popped up in my mind.

She pestered him to accompany her to see the snow, grinding him to make him promise to accompany her every time it snowed in the future, and she already liked him at that time, so the words she said deliberately wanted him to accompany her, wanting to create sweetness that belonged to her and him.

The girl's heart is always poetry, and at that time she was both nervous and expectant, afraid that he would refuse.

Fortunately, he agreed, even if it seemed impatient, but she was happy, and even recorded it with her mobile phone, saying that it was to be used as evidence.

And then ......

The phone was lost the first year she was gone, and she cried all night.

And now......

Unable to move his footsteps anymore, Jiang Manqing stiffened his body and finally stayed, enjoying the different kind of snow that belonged to her and him alone, just like the different candlelight dinner tonight.

She didn't dare to make a sound, she didn't dare to move, she didn't even breathe carefully, lest he perceive that she was separated from him by a glass door.

The temperature is low and the weather is cold.

But Jiang Manqing felt that her heart ...... It's starting to warm up.

She couldn't help but tilt her head slightly, revealing a little satisfied smile.

"Ahem! Ahem......"

After some time, a cough suddenly woke her up.

The smell of smoke seems to be gone.

It was only at this time that Jiang Manqing realized that before coming back, his assistant told him to take medicine and even go to the hospital, but from the time she woke up after returning home, she seemed to be ...... I haven't seen him take medicine.

Wrong!

When he got out of the car, he didn't have any medicine in his hands!

Now he's out again......

A spirit, Jiang Manqing's breath was stagnant.

What about his illness......

Regardless of the fact that he was discovered, Jiang Manqing gritted his teeth and turned around and walked quickly into the room, found his mobile phone and dialed his assistant's number.

"Hey ......"

……

Ten minutes later.

Jiang Manqing stood in front of the door of his room with mixed feelings.

The lip bit and bites, and eventually, she reaches out and knocks on the door.

"Knock knock—"
