Chapter 2 Time Passes Like Water

The back that catches my eye is so familiar.

Although more than two years have passed, Sun Ying has not changed much except for the fact that her hair has grown a little. It's still the same as before, an off-white T-shirt, a calf-length skirt, white casual sandals, and a standard student attire.

Jiang Ruofeng resisted the urge to come forward to say hello, and after standing at the door for a long time, he still turned around and left.

The past is like the wind, and the memories are like the mist in the mountains in the morning. It was gently blown by the wind, and then it dissipated.

Those who have long been missed, even if they meet again, are just a handful of salt on their already scarred hearts.

Yesterday is a passing stream, more like an old picture album forgotten in the corner. It's already covered with dust, and it's easy to get caught up in the dust if you want to turn it over again.

Autumn has arrived, just like the yellowing leaves outside the window, and before you know it, youth has gone away. Those who have come full circle in your life have also left.

All of them have become irretraceable pasts.

The dumplings hadn't been cooked yet, so Sun Ying had to sit and wait first. Inadvertently, I glanced out the window, and my originally relaxed expression instantly froze.

The limping back, she would never be mistaken, it was Jiang Ruofeng.

But hasn't he been in the south all the time, how can he be here?

The next moment, Sun Ying couldn't take care of the dumplings, so she rushed out directly, ran a few steps, and stopped in front of Jiang Ruofeng.

"You...... When did you get back? ”

The expression on Sun Ying's face seemed to be joyful, surprised, and a little sentimental and guilty, in short, it was very complicated.

Jiang Ruofeng looked at the girl in front of him in detail, and there was still a faint shadow of the silly girl who was smuggling in college, but it was already very faint.

Gone of silliness and youthfulness, replaced by the steadiness and elegance of a mature woman. Indeed, she is much more mature. But this maturity suddenly made Jiang Ruofeng feel heartache for no reason.

"What, don't you know?"

Seeing that he didn't speak for a long time, Sun Ying quipped, "Do you want me to introduce myself first?"

Jiang Ruofeng smiled faintly: "Why are you here?"

"I'm a teacher at Xiyuan University now, isn't it about to start school, come to the school in advance to take a look."

Maybe it's the joy of reunion again, although Sun Ying has a lot of things to say to him and a lot of questions to ask him, but he doesn't know how to ask them all of a sudden, and in the end there is only one sentence left: "How have you been doing in the past two years?"

"It's okay!"

"So what are you doing now?"

"I don't have a regular job, I live on part-time jobs."

"When did you come back, did you have something to do with the school?"

"Just arrived today, just take a look."

“……。”

“……。”

After a series of mechanical conversations, no one spoke again. For a moment, the two fell into a kind of oppressive silence.

Sun Ying originally had too many questions to ask Jiang Ruofeng, but when the words came to her lips, she couldn't ask a word.

Hehe, it turns out that the two of them have really become estranged to this extent! Lovers who used to talk about everything can no longer find a common topic.

Moreover, the tone of his speech was so cold?

Come to think of it, I haven't been in touch for two years, and it would be strange if it was still the same as before.

When she was silent, Sun Ying looked Jiang Ruofeng up and down carefully, and when she saw his face, she was stunned. The silhouette hasn't changed much, but the hearty smile in the image is gone.

He was smiling, but not sincerely, just out of politeness, habitually smiling, even a little bitter.

I remember that his face had always been clean, but now he was full of scum. The hair is also long, and it is still messy.

The shirt on his body was also obviously old, and the corners were rolled up. Washed white pants, yellowed sneakers.

The standard outfit for the factory boys.

The years are really ruthless, in just two years, everything is wrong.

Sun Ying never thought that after two years of not seeing him, the bright and free sunny boy in the past had become like this.

For some reason, this wordless atmosphere made Jiang Ruofeng feel very uncomfortable, and after standing for a while, he turned around and left.

He felt very strange, he had looked forward to reuniting with Sun Ying countless times before, but when the other party was really standing in front of him, he didn't feel anything anymore.

In the past, as long as I thought of him, my heart couldn't help but ripple. Now standing in front of him face to face, but it is very calm.

When facing Sun Ying, he suddenly understood one thing, he and she were no longer people of the same world.

Come to think of it, it's time to cut off those wishful thoughts in the past.

From now on, is he going to re-examine his life?

Seeing Jiang Ruofeng turn around and leave, Sun Ying wanted to say something to stay, but found that she didn't know what to say. Or rather, what kind of reason to use. So much so that Jiang Ruofeng had already walked a long way before she spoke: "The house I rented is not far from here, do you want to go and sit down?"

"Okay."

Jiang Ruofeng actually agreed very happily, they have been broken up for two years, and they have already been calm.

Besides, it was Sun Ying who proposed to break up at the beginning, so what was there to be embarrassed about.

Sun Ying's rented house is behind Xiyuan University, and you can walk straight along Binhe Road.

Along the way, neither of them said a word again. Moreover, Sun Ying could feel that Jiang Ruofeng seemed to be deliberately keeping a distance from herself.

Some of the cherry blossom trees on both sides of the road have begun to turn yellow, which makes the hearts of the two people ripple at the same time, and they can't calm down for a long time.

In the end, it was Sun Ying who spoke first and asked him: "Do you remember the first time we met?"

Jiang Ruofeng was silent, and after a moment, he smiled faintly: "Of course I remember."

Then he muttered to himself, "How could I forget!"

yes, how could he forget!

It was six years ago, when he was just a freshman, and one weekend, after dinner, he was too idle to ride his bicycle out for a walk, and when he rode here, he collided with Sun Ying, who was also riding a bicycle.

Later, every time he thought about it, Jiang Ruofeng felt a little funny. For that crash, it should be said that it was a beautiful encounter.

Anyway, since then, the two of them have known each other. And intentionally or unintentionally, the interaction between the two people has gradually increased.

After getting along for about half a year, they officially started dating.

After that, from the freshman year to the junior year, and during the internship in the second semester of the senior year, they have always been a couple.

He and Sun Ying are both from the Department of Literature, and they were also assigned to the same company during their internships. Because of their good performance during the internship, when they were about to end, the company leaders also deliberately talked to the two of them, so that they could officially come to work after graduation, and even sign a contract on the spot.

During that time, Jiang Ruofeng could really be said to be proud of the spring breeze, and he was happy every day. As long as you meet someone you know, whether you know them well or not, you will greet them from afar.

I graduated, my job was done, and my girlfriend has been with me for four years. If you think about it, life is nothing more than that.

At that time, he was optimistic about the house in the city. I borrowed 70,000 or 80,000 yuan from my relatives and repaid the loan of 200,000 yuan, planning to pay the down payment and renovate it briefly.

When he officially went to work, everything was arranged, and after he stabilized, he and Sun Ying officially got married.

However, the subsequent car accident brought it all to naught.

That car accident not only broke Jiang Ruofeng's leg, but also completely changed the rest of his life.
