When Shen Jialan, who was flipping through the latest issue of the Beauty Awards magazine when she received the call, heard the words "good daughter", her hand flipping through the pages couldn't help but pause slightly.

Xi Yi on the other end of the phone said the end, and pulled out a soft laugh. Thinking about it, he is quite satisfied with this news, and hopes that Shen Jialan will be happy when he hears it.

Shen Jialan also thought that she would be happy, but she didn't.

She was more calm than happy.

For a long time, she smiled quietly, without resentment or pleasure. The reluctance and resentment of the past seemed to have a hand brushing the tip of her heart, smoothing out those folds, and finally restoring calm.

For Shen Jialan, Jiang Yilin has become an irrelevant matter.

Compared with Jiang Yilin, she pays more attention to Xi Yi.

In the past, she had been pursuing family affection, pursuing the love of her parents and the focus of their eyes, but in the end, she couldn't get it, so she cruelly chose not to leave it.

But she forgot that from beginning to end, there was actually someone who accompanied her.

He kept following her without saying a word, but when her eyes touched her, he smiled warmly at her, and his eyes were full of faint warmth. He was so gentle, he never refused any of her requests, even if she didn't think of it, he always thought of it carefully for her.

Until now, he has always been kind to her.

It's just that she hasn't cared about it.

"Ah Yi, thank you."

Shen Jialan gently thanked him.

In fact, speaking of which, she is the most cruel person.

In the past, Ah Yi had always been with her, and she was the only one in the world, but at that time she was so sad that she forgot Xi Yi's dedication and chose to leave without saying a word.

Shen Jialan actually couldn't figure out why Xi Yi became what he is now. But she thought about it and felt that the reason why he became like this was probably because of her.

If it weren't for her departure, maybe Xi Yi would still be the warm boy with crooked eyes when he laughs, and he can infect the whole world, instead of him with a cold face and a cold temperament at the moment, and he no longer speaks and laughs easily.

"I'm sorry, Ah Yi." Shen Jialan thought, the moisture in her eyes slowly overflowed, and even her voice was a little choked: "I was too selfish back then. ”

Shen Jialan's "thank you" and "I'm sorry" made Xi Yi's heart tremble slightly, and his sword eyebrows also frowned slightly. His hand holding the microphone tightened slightly unconsciously, but he quickly let go, and he didn't even notice it.

"What are you thinking?"

Xi Yi's voice was rarely slow, with a little tenderness, which dissipated Shen Jialan's cranky thoughts.

"I still have something to do here, so let's not talk about it yet."

Xi Yi said and hung up the phone.

However, after hanging up, he leaned back in his chair and looked up at the ceiling in a daze.

The secretary came in with the papers, and he came back to his senses, and slowly picked up the signing pen on the table in the secretary's surprised eyes.

……

Shen Jialan's heart was a little blocked, so after hanging up the phone, the magazine was still spreading, but she was in a daze.

It wasn't until someone pushed the door in that Shen Jialan, who heard the movement, came back to his senses.

The other party was also looking at her, and after making sure that he had not gone to the wrong ward, he slowly took off his hat, sunglasses, and scarf that covered half of his face.

It's Duan Yixi.

Duan Yixi hadn't met and contacted Shen Jialan for nearly a month since she met her in Country M last time. One is because his schedule is very busy and he has almost no free time, and the other is that he has no way to completely calm down to face the fact that she already has a lover, and that lover is not her.

So he learned that Shen Jialan had a car accident when he was searching for Shen Jialan on the Internet in his free time.

As soon as he knew the news, Duan Yixi, who didn't know how to face Shen Jialan, couldn't take care of anything, he was still filming in Hawaii, and he rushed back by plane on the same day, and went directly to the hospital without any rest.

Because he was not sure about Shen Jialan's ward, Duan Yixi inquired along the way, and was almost recognized several times. Therefore, when he just entered the ward, he kept staring at Shen Jialan to make sure that he had not gone to the wrong ward.

Duan Yixi actually rushed back with nervousness, and when he really saw Shen Jialan, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed again.

Before he had time to talk about his feelings, he had no chance to see the light.

And Shen Jialan is not embarrassed.

After understanding Duan Yixi's feelings for her, she also became unnatural when she faced Duan Yixi.

In the end, Duan Yixi, who was used to facing the camera, became natural first, looking at Shen Jialan, he put down the things he was holding in his hand, and said with a faint concern in his eyes: "Are you okay?" Looking at the news, it seems to be quite serious. ”

The concern in Duan Yixi's eyes was faint, and he didn't seem too eager, as if he was just concerned about his friends.

Influenced by him, Shen Jialan couldn't help but be a little more natural, and replied to his question: "It's okay, it's just a skin injury." ”

Hearing this, Duan Yixi's eyes looked at Shen Jialan, and he was relieved to see that she had a good complexion and no traces of bandages on her body.

"It's okay."

……

After a brief Q&A, the conversation fell silent, and the ward was silent and slightly awkward.

In the end, Shen Jialan lifted the quilt, climbed off the bed, and poured a glass of water for Duan Yixi, who looked dusty.

Glancing at the small bag of luggage he threw on the ground, Shen Jialan said, "You just came from the airport?" ”

Hearing this, Duan Yixi, who took the water, glanced at Shen Jialan a little uncomfortably.

He knew that if he had come back to see her on purpose, she would definitely feel burdened, so Duan Yixi tried his best to make himself smile and replied naturally: "Well, I want to take a break for two days temporarily, so I'll come back." I also felt that I might be tired and didn't want to come when I got to the place where I lived, so I stopped by to see you. ”

Shen Jialan did feel very burdened to carry other people's feelings without reciprocation, but looking at Duan Yixi's cautious appearance, she still felt uncomfortable in her heart, so she was silent for a moment and replied, "That's the case." ”

The conversation came to an abrupt end again.

Whether it was Duan Yixi or Shen Jialan, they never thought that one day, they would even seem so awkward to get along.

After sitting for a short time, there may not even be ten minutes before and after, Duan Yixi stood up: "Since you're fine, I'll go back first, and I'll come over to see you another day when I'm free." ”

Duan Yixi said, and put down the water cup that he had drunk all the way to be thirsty, but had been used by him to maintain his "nature".

"Won't you stay more?"

Shen Jialan was a little reluctant, and couldn't help asking, "You must be very tired just after getting off the plane, otherwise you sit here and rest for a while before leaving?" ”

Hearing this, Duan Yixi couldn't help but subconsciously lowered his head and looked at Shen Jialan.

Shen Jialan was also looking up at him, with concern in her eyes, but only for her friends.

Such a look made Duan Yixi feel a little lost, but there was a faint warmth.

In a trance, he felt as if he had returned to the past, and couldn't help but laugh slightly, wanting to rely on his height as before, raising his hand to touch Shen Jialan's head, but he quickly came back to his senses.

The smile in Duan Yixi's eyes became dim in an instant, and the hand that was originally going to be stretched out was also put down.

"No need, I can go back to my place to rest."

Duan Yixi said, lowered his head, picked up his hat, sunglasses, and scarf on the sofa one by one and put them on.

After arming himself to make sure that no one would recognize him, Duan Yixi said to Shen Jialan, then picked up the luggage he was carrying before and turned to leave.

Shen Jialan stood at the door and watched him leave.

This was the first time, Shen Jialan looked at Duan Yixi's back.

In the silent, narrow corridor, his figure was elongated, creating a shadow on the ground.

For the first time, Shen Jialan found that Duan Yixi's back was actually very tall, with a width that belonged to a man.

Shen Jialan stood there and watched Duan Yixi's figure slowly disappear in front of her eyes, and turned around and went back to the ward.

She didn't know that Duan Yixi, who was walking with her back to her without the slightest pause, stopped at the corner of the corridor, threw away the luggage in her hand, and leaned there with her back to the wall, quietly, quietly, like a sculpture.

Until, he saw Tang Yuyan's figure.

Duan Yixi was wearing sunglasses and a hat, and his face was covered with a scarf, Tang Yuyan didn't notice him, it was Duan Yixi who took the initiative to stop him.

When Tang Yuyan was stopped, he turned his head to take a look and realized that the other party was Duan Yixi, and his footsteps couldn't help but stop.

The two men just stood there, staring at each other.

Duan Yixi couldn't help but think of the scene when he had dinner with Shen Jialan and all the members of Templars a long time ago.

He peeled a shrimp for Shen Jialan.

Shen Jialan is allergic to shrimp.

Tang Yuyan filled a bowl of egg custard and gave it to Shen Jialan.

Shen Jialan loves egg custard.

Maybe back then, he lost, and he didn't even get a chance.

It's just that he didn't know it at the time.

Duan Yixi thought about it, and couldn't help but pull his lips and smile with a little loss.

Regarding the news of Tang Yuyan and Shen Jialan, he has read a lot on the news.

Although he had known it for a long time, when he saw Tang Yuyan, Duan Yixi was still a little jealous, and even thought about beating Tang Yuyan hard.

He is not one of those fans who doesn't know the inside story, and he was moved by the fact that the two people announced by Tang Yuyan have already been married.

When he ate for the first time, Shen Jialan's resistance and indifference to Tang Yuyan still remembered it clearly.

Duan Yixi knew that Tang Yuyan had made Shen Jialan sad. This alone will not make Duan Yixi let go of his hostility towards Tang Yuyan.

But in the end, he did nothing, and his raised fist was slowly lowered by him.

"Be nice to her."

Duan Yixi looked at Tang Yuyan and said solemnly word by word.

"If one day, you treat her badly, or let her be wronged and I know, I will not let you go. - I've been waiting for her for more than ten years. ”

Duan Yixi didn't mind letting Tang Yuyan know at all that he was peeking at Shen Jialan. On the contrary, he also had to say very brightly how much he liked Shen Jialan. Only in this way will Tang Yuyan cherish it even more.

Tang Yuyan looked at him quietly, and in the end, he nodded solemnly: "No." That day, never. ”

He'd hurt her once, so how could he be willing to do it a second time.

Tang Yuyan patted Duan Yixi's shoulder, and before his tears could fall, he turned to leave.

Duan Yixi, who stayed in place, lowered his head, and reached out to rub the reddish eyes under his sunglasses with some embarrassment.

He flipped the faded chain around his neck out of his sweater and placed it in his palm and looked at it over and over again.

With this affection brushing over the pendant that he had touched I don't know how many times, it had already become smooth, he exhaled, tucked it back into his sweater, turned away, and let his heart tighten and ache there.
