Chapter 178: Backfired
Jiang Li was still a little surprised at first when he saw the gift from An Whale, although their relationship has eased recently, they are also constantly colliding, always trying to go crazy on the edge of good and bad.
Besides, she had already given herself a book of origin that she had been looking for and wanted for a long time, and that gift made him happy for a long time, and it was completely sent to his heart, making him feel that the tacit understanding between the two had returned.
Soon, the initial surprise gradually replaced by curiosity, what will she send this time?
He suddenly cheered up, felt that his head didn't hurt anymore, and he wasn't tired, but his heartbeat was a little faster: "What is it?" As he spoke, he tilted the paper bag slightly and opened it to look at it.
The top was a beige envelope, his heart was suffocated, as if he was being grabbed by someone, and the whole breath came to his throat, could it be a love letter written to him by An Whale?
The next second, he was amused by his own thoughts, with the current relationship between the two, let alone writing love letters, he was content with writing a small note.
At this moment, he misses a little bit of the time when the two were together, that is, although An Whale is his girlfriend, the relationship between the two is still that of an artist and an assistant in front of outsiders, so there can be no eyes, words and physical communication beyond work.
So for a while, An Jingluo wrote to him like other fans, or prepared a diary, in which she would write about her feelings or things she wanted to tell him but it was inconvenient to say, and Jiang Li would also write her thoughts or love for her on it.
At the beginning, he still teased An Whale for being too literary, but now that he thinks about it, the time was really beautiful, hiding from everyone's eyes and putting the words he wanted to say and the emotions he wanted to express on the paper, and the throbbing of the secret poke and poke may be the precious emotion he will never forget.
If he had the opportunity to look at the diaries and letters of that time in the future, he might feel ashamed now, but the exclusive memory hidden deep in his heart must be as wonderful as it was back then.
It may be that he has been delayed for too long, An Whale is a little anxious, why did he stare at the envelope for so long? Please envelope isn't the point, the focus is on the following book of origin, which is the same as the last time I sent it.
Maybe it was An Whale's overly eager and anxious eyes that burned him, so he didn't remember much and directly took the envelope in his hand and wanted to open it to see what it was.
Well? This thickness? It seemed to be somewhat similar to the thickness of a folded letter, and his heart unconsciously beat a little faster than just now.
He carefully used his thumb and forefinger to unsqueeze open the closed envelope, and his face suddenly collapsed after seeing the pink sheets of cash inside, and he glanced at Ann Whale with some anger, while she still urged him to look at the contents of the envelope with an excited look.
Jiang Li felt that he was a little self-inflicted, and it was a shame that he had recalled it for so long before opening it, and the result was ......
He put the envelope on the table to the side with some discouragement, and he had no interest in the boxy thing that was wrapped underneath, whether it was a picture frame or a book, and even when he picked it up, he could distract himself from seeing that the bottom was the clothes he had lent her earlier.
The weight and texture of the hand reminded him that this was a book, why did he send a book again, didn't he give one before? The only book he had been looking for for a long time was that one.
With some interest, I unwrapped the wrapped ribbon and unfolded the outermost layer of wrapping paper, revealing the same original cover as the previous book.
Puzzled, he turned a few pages, and the content was also the same, why did he give him two identical books?
"Look at the title page." An Jingluo was both excited and nervous, with a slight tremor in her voice.
Jiang Li turned the book back to the title page, and there was actually the author's autograph and a record of the book's birth number, and he felt the indescribable excitement for a moment.
He originally thought that he was already very lucky to be able to get the book of origin, but he didn't expect that An Whale Fall could bring him even greater luck, after so many years, across such a long space, I don't know how many masters he has experienced, and now this book comes to him with all the stories.
Maybe this is fate, destined to accompany him through a period of life, just like the person in front of him, accompanying him through the most youthful and happiest ten years of his life, occupying almost half of his current life.
But the book will come to him thousands of miles by fate, but what about people? Will this man who has seen all of him ever come back to him again? Maybe it will or may not, it depends on whether they are in love or in love!
Isn't he happy? An Jingluo didn't get the expected surprise expression, not even his expression fluctuated, and not only did he not have a trace of smile in his eyes, but the light in his eyes became weaker and weaker, and then disappeared.
"Thank you, I love it." Jiang Li retracted the cranky thoughts in his mind, the corners of his mouth curled, and the light and smile overflowed his eyes.
If it weren't for the fact that she had observed his emotions beforehand, then at this moment she would have been moved by his smiling face, he lied, he didn't like the gift that much at all.
Could it be that now he hates her and hates her so much that he doesn't even like the gifts she gave him, and he says that he loves the house and the black, and he hates the house and the black. That... If he doesn't like it, he can return it to her, and if the carefully selected gift can't be liked and cherished by the person receiving the gift, then she would rather keep it herself.
In fact, this book is also related to her, when she saw the book she gave to Jiang Li in the bookstore, the clerk gave her a small card saying that it was convenient for after-sales, and she wrote her name, email address and address without any suspicion.
She thought it would be over, but not long after she returned from Spain, she received an email from an old man who also liked the book.
It turns out that because this book is so niche and it is a limited edition, almost all of the people who own it are true love fans, and these people who own this book have kept in touch with each other and become friends with the same hobbies, even if they have never met each other and even speak different languages, but this does not prevent them from becoming book friends.
The old man said that the book she bought was kept in the bookstore by his friend when he was alive, in a particularly remote corner, and the location was difficult to find, so that he could find its next owner.
So after learning her email address from the clerk, I thought about it for a long time and sent this email, but the old man just communicated with her as a book friend, but he didn't know that she was not the owner of the book.
After she truthfully told her original intention when she wanted to get this book in the email, the old man replied to the email and told him his bold guess, and sure enough, the relationship between the two was guessed by him accurately.
It's just that it was their previous relationship, and now it has completely changed, maybe it's because the old man is a stranger, or maybe it's because she feels like she has a relationship with the old man, and it's more likely that she urgently needs someone who can help her get her idea, so she told the old man about the problems she had been struggling with and what happened between the two.
After that, the old man replied to her email after about a week, and the content of the reply was very long, which first told the story of the old grandfather when he was young, because of a misunderstanding, because of timidity, and did not solve the misunderstanding in time, which brought a lifetime of regret.
Then in the email, she was encouraged to take the initiative, since she was still in love, she had to work hard, see his heart clearly, and try her best to make up for the regrets that she had missed before, and they were still young and had a long time to fall in love, so they couldn't give up.
A life is so long, and there are so many people you meet in your life, but it is too difficult to meet a person who you really like, and the other party really likes your two lovers, so you must cherish it.
At the end of the email, he mysteriously said that he had given her a gift, wishing that this gift would reconcile them, even if it could not reach a 100% perfect ending, at least it should ease their relationship a little.
After many fruitless rejections, she finally received this mysterious gift, the same book of origin, except that the title page had the author's autograph and the serial number of the bibliography.
To the uninitiated, it may seem like it's just an extra signature, but for those who really like the book and the author, it's like seeing your idol.
But Jiang Li's expression at the beginning was the expression he had when he saw his idol? Remembering the first time she saw Jiang Li in the magazine office, the heartbeat rate that broke through the sky in an instant now feels difficult to breathe when she thinks about it.
"You're welcome, it's just the beauty of adults." An Jingluo's expression was also well disguised, but her voice sounded a little muffled, as if it was not as chic as she appeared.
Jiang Li looked directly at her and didn't have a smile conveyed to the bottom of her eyes, knowing that she was duplicitous, and she was obviously unhappy in her heart, but she had to show that happy look on her face.
He opened his mouth and just wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Chen Du and Xia Mu who pushed the door in, he could only look at An Whale again unwillingly, and An Whale just looked down at the computer and didn't notice his desire to speak, nor did he notice his unwillingness.
The subsequent meetings did not go as smoothly as before, not because of the emotional problems of the two, but because of the disagreement over the venue of the event.
The theme of this project is the Stars and the Sea Concert, and the organizer announced the list of participating artists long in advance, almost the most popular star at the moment.
The first step is to choose the right venue, An Jingluo advocates safety, while Jiang Li advocates youth, they argue for a long time between garden meadows and playgrounds, and no one can convince anyone.
An Whale was very puzzled, obviously Jiang Li also agreed to the garden and meadow yesterday, why did he suddenly change the playground?
