Tang Jiali's email stayed in Wen Chen's mailbox for two days before Wen Chen saw it.

Wen Chen usually doesn't use email much, at first because she had to contact customers and authors, Song Minyou and Zhao Ying said that it would be more convenient to have an email address, so she went to apply for a free mailbox.

However, when Wen Chen saw the email signed Tang Jiali in the inbox, she still didn't believe her eyes, because in her impression, Tang Jiali had never sent her an email, and the contact between the two had always been through phone and QQ.

Wen Chen hesitated for a moment before opening the email, afraid that it was a virus that was spread through the email. Zhao Ying also reminded her not to open it if she was not at ease, and she could send a text message or call her directly to ask, but after Wen Chen thought about it again, he finally clicked on the email.

Wen Chen:

I haven't seen you for many days, are you okay? Although the two of us are in the same city, we don't see each other often, and I hope you are doing well.

Remember the agreement we made when we were in college? You said you were going to come to my wedding and give me a big red envelope. Now I can't wait to tell you the good news, I'm getting engaged. Although it is not my official wedding, I sincerely invite you to attend, no need for a big red envelope, I just hope that you can take time out of your busy schedule to watch the ceremony.

Love you Lily

At the end of the letter is also the time and the name and address of the hotel.

In this world, there are always some people whose names you always don't see; There are always some people, although she is no longer in the rivers and lakes, but the rivers and lakes still have her legends. And Tang Jiali is one of those people.

On the first day of reporting for her freshman year, Tang Jiali naturally became the center of attention. She drove a silver convertible sports car, followed by a black car, and the two cars drove into the school parking lot. In the stunned eyes of the onlookers, Tang Jiali's luggage was carried into the bedroom box by box by bodyguards in uniform black suits, while she herself stood in the middle of the crowd with a sun umbrella, complaining that the sun was too hot.

A pampered rich girl from the Department of Economics and Management drove into the campus in a luxury car, and brought her bodyguard to help her carry her luggage into the dormitory, and the battle was bigger than the principal. The news quickly spread to all faculties on the F campus. Wen Chen, who also reported to F Academy of Fine Arts as a freshman, and her parents who sent her to school naturally heard it.

Her mother said to her worriedly: "Chenchen, you have to take good care of yourself at school alone, and don't make friends with some people who don't do their jobs." ”

After all, my father has seen more than my mother, and I know that it is not uncommon for children from rich families to go out with a bigger posture. He frowned and said to his wife: "What are you talking about to the child, I am absolutely at ease with our family Chenchen, you still don't believe in your own child when you are a mother?" ”

Wen Chen, who was making the bed on the top, didn't speak, listening to her parents' various instructions to her before leaving, smiling.

Later, Tang Jiali told Wen Chen that she had just gotten her driver's license on the day she reported to work, stole her father's car keys, and drove away her father's newly bought sports car.

"That'...... What's going on with those bodyguards? Wen Chen asked.

"Hey, what kind of bodyguard is that, just an employee of a moving company."

"Then why are they still wearing suits?"

"I deliberately found the most expensive moving team, and asked for a VIP-level service. Unexpectedly, in these years, the moving company is also full of tricks for efficiency, and it looks like a bodyguard brigade. ”

As for how Wen Chen from the Academy of Fine Arts met Tang Jiali from the School of Management and Economics, Wen Chen felt that she would never forget it for the rest of her life, because it was the first time she was framed as a thief, and the first time she went to the police station.

At that time, Xiao Wu, who was also a classroom teacher and counselor, told Wen Chen that the class needed some paper, pencils and paints, and she arranged for Wen Chen, who was a member of the study committee in the class, to purchase them. Wen Chen nodded again and again in agreement, but unexpectedly, the simple purchase took him into the police station.

At the beginning of the purchase, everything went smoothly, and Mr. Xiao Wu made a list of the materials that needed to be purchased, which allowed Wen Chen to quickly buy all the things he needed. After settling the bill, Wen Chen just stepped out of the store with his front foot, and his back foot was grabbed, and a middle-aged woman with a child said to her angrily: "You stole my wallet!" ”

Wen Chen patiently explained at first: "Auntie, did you make a mistake? But the woman with the child just didn't give up: "You stole my wallet and still don't admit it, why do you say that you are a good college student who didn't study well in school, and did this kind of stealing and touching dogs?" ”

"Auntie, you've made a mistake, I really didn't."

"You're from nearby F University, this F University education is really bad, and you actually cultivate a garbage student like you who has been caught and is cheeky and doesn't admit it."

"Auntie, I really didn't take your wallet."

The stationery store owner's appearance of not caring about himself and staying out of the matter made Wen Chen feel desperate. She felt as if the woman had a thousand mouths, and every time she said a word, the woman would reply a thousand words in a domineering manner, like a knife, piercing people's hearts and lungs. With trembling hands, she poured out all the paper, pen, and paint in the plastic pocket, trying to prove her innocence, but she couldn't stop the woman from uttering even more ugly words.

The empty white plastic bag swayed in the wind and made a popping sound, as if to mock the farce.

"Hey, I'm not happy if you say that, why do you say that our F University education is not good. You say she stole your wallet, what proof do you have? She poured out the contents of the bag and showed it to you, but she didn't have your broken purse. ”

"Just because she is a thief, she still denies it." The middle-aged woman spoke vigorously and pointed at Wen Chen with her index finger.

The voice came from behind, and Wen Chen looked at the person who spoke for her with great gratitude, it was a schoolgirl with slightly curly hair. At that time, she didn't know that that person was Tang Jiali.

"When I was picking out stationery for my son, she was the only one who passed by me, and she must have been on her, just search her body."

"Joke, don't you know that it's illegal to search people at will?"

The two people were at a stalemate, and the middle-aged woman had her hands on her hips, her face flushed with anger. Later, Tang Jiali told Wen Chen that she looked like a sow waiting to be slaughtered in a slaughterhouse.

The police who arrived belatedly wanted to take the two parties to the police station to investigate clearly, and Tang Jiali also said that they would go.

"She is my sister, of course I have to go, lest this old woman bully my sister." She was serious, but the two actually knew each other's names in the police car.

When she arrived at the police station, Wen Chen's eyes were red, and she tried her best to suppress her tears from pouring out, she told the police Xiao Wu's phone number, and the police told her that due to insufficient evidence, she just waited for the counselor to pick her up. Only Tang Jiali still has an attitude of not returning my innocence and vowing not to give up.

While waiting for Mr. Wu to come, the police in the interrogation room next door came over and told them that the wallet had been found, and that the woman's child wanted to go to the game hall to play games, and secretly took it while his mother was not paying attention. At first, the child was too scared to tell the truth, but when he arrived at the police station, he dared to secretly tell the police that now the wallet had been returned to his mother.

Tang Jiali asked, "What about the old woman?" ”

The policeman replied, "I took my son and left." ”

Tang Jiali angrily slapped the case and said angrily: "I didn't even apologize, just let her go?" You cops are eating ......."

Before she could say the last word, her words were interrupted by the sound of pushing the door, and the person who came was Teacher Xiao Wu.

Seeing Teacher Xiao Wu, Wen Chen's long-pent-up tears poured out of his eyes like a tide.

Teacher Xiao Wu handed Wen Chen a blue-gray handkerchief, and comforted him repeatedly: "It's okay, it's okay." ”

Wen Chen and Tang Jiali met like this, and getting acquainted with each other is another matter.

Tang Jiali thinks that the person who wants to chase her can queue up from the door of the dormitory to the train station, and she has always rejected others, and no one has ever refused her. She has never been interested in anyone, but she fell in love at first sight with Mr. Xiao Wu, who came to the police station in a hurry.

Wen Chen asked Tang Jiali why she liked Teacher Xiao Wu, and Tang Jiali said while carefully applying nail polish: "Because at the police station, I saw him hand you a handkerchief to wipe your tears, and the people who still use handkerchiefs in this era are already a rare species, so this rare species hit my heart at once." ”

Since then, Tang Jiali, who is in class to see her mood, began to appear frequently in Teacher Xiao Wu's class, and she would even come to participate in Teacher Xiao Wu's late roll call and sit behind Wen Chen. She also took Wen Chen to the faculty dormitory to wait for Teacher Xiao Wu at every turn, but only Wen Chen knew these secrets, and only Wen Chen knew about Lily's loss of love in this fruitless unrequited love.

Because everyone in the Academy of Fine Arts knows that Mr. Xiao Wu is getting married.

The sad Lily hugged Wen Chen and cried, she told Wen Chen that this was the biggest setback she had suffered in love, and she felt that she would not fall in love with anyone else again. And at that time, Wen Chen was also secretly in love with her No. 11 jersey boy, she seemed to be chic, but in fact, she understood the pain in Lily's heart best.

She comforted Lily that there would be better things in the future, and made a promise to her: "When you get married, I will definitely come to your wedding." I will witness your happiness and see what the person who makes you better is really like. ”

Jingyun Hotel is a 32-storey five-star hotel, it is located in the most prosperous center of the city, look at the luxury cars parked in the hotel to know that people come and go here either rich or expensive.

This information was told to Wen Chen by Zhao Ying yesterday, and after Zhao Ying saw the name of the engagement hotel, he was amazed, and bluntly said that he didn't expect Wen Chen to have such a "trench" friend.

At this time, Wen Chen was standing at the door of Jingyun Hotel, and the well-trained waiter led her through the corridors to a hall at the end of the corridor. There were no photos of the engaged heroes and heroines posted at the door of the hall, and the names of the two protagonists were not seen, but there was only a notice board with congratulations to the Tang and Han families on their marriage.

Wen Chen walked into the hall, and everywhere she could see, there were gorgeously dressed and exquisitely dressed women and well-dressed and scheming men chatting and laughing in all corners of the hall. At this time, a waiter passed by with a plate and asked if she needed a glass of champagne, she shook her head and asked for a Coke. The waiter quickly brought her a glass of Coke, she took a sip of Coke, and tried to find Tang Jiali with the glass.

She shuttled through the crowd, looking at her surroundings, dressed in fragrant sideburns, drunk and golden, these two idioms suddenly popped out of her mind.

In the midst of the staggering, Wen Chen seemed to see Han Jixing's figure, but disappeared from his sight in an instant.

She suspected that she had seen it wrong, rubbed her eyes, and when she opened her eyes again, Han Jixing had already walked in front of her.

It turned out to be really him.

Unlike what he met on the trip, he didn't have a backpack on his shoulders tonight, and he didn't have a DSLR camera around his neck. He wore a crisp suit that seemed to be tailor-made for him, and every cut was tailored to the lines of his perfect figure.

She didn't expect the two to meet again in this scene, and she couldn't help but feel a ray of joy in her heart. It's just that she didn't notice that when Han Jixing came over with a tall glass wine glass, the eyes that looked at her were so complicated.

"Hi, I didn't expect to meet ...... here"

"Chenchen, it turns out that you are here, I am still wondering why you haven't arrived yet?" Before Wen Chen finished speaking, Tang Jiali suddenly appeared and interrupted her, and she walked quickly to Wen Chen's side, with an unconcealed smile in her eyes.

"Well, you're here too, so I don't have to look for you." Wen Chen responded with a smile, but in the next second, she saw Tang Jiali raise her hand and hold Han Jixing's arm. This image is like a slow-motion replay in her eyes, stimulating her every nerve.

"Lily, what is this?"

"Han Jixing, my fiancé, the one who makes me better."

Wen Chen felt a chill all over her body, and Han Jixing's silence and expressionlessness made her expression complicated.

The Buddha said that all the things that have a way are all about the harmony of causes and conditions, and when they arise, they are all gone, and nothing else.

Therefore, Wen Chen was wondering if she and he had used up all their fate in this life at Kinkakuji Temple and Kamakura High School.

"Chenchen, you wait here for a while, my dad is calling me over there, you can take whatever food is on the table." After Tang Jiali finished speaking, she went to another place, and only two people were left looking at each other.

"I really didn't expect to meet you here again." Wen Chen finished making up what she hadn't finished just now.

"Drinking too much cola is not good for your health."

"I like to drink Coke."

"Why don't you contact me?"

"The business card was accidentally broken, and the phone was gone."

"That's it?"

"That's it."

"That's really...... A ridiculous reason. The corners of Han Jixing's mouth twitched, at least this reason was more acceptable than the "unwillingness to contact" in his heart.

So, he also said the same thing: "I really didn't expect to meet you again on such an occasion." ”

"yes, I didn't expect that."

It's better to miss each other than to see each other.

Perhaps, they might as well not see.

There was already a host on the stage who was speaking the opening speech, and the scattered crowd in the hall slowly gathered. After the host finished speaking her lines, the heroine Tang Jiali slowly walked onto the stage with a gorgeous skirt in the spotlight, but Han Jixing stood in the crowd and looked at Tang Jiali on the stage like the guests.

Tang Jiali is a natural focus on the stage, she seems to be a pearl that has been searched for thousands of times, dazzling. Wen Chen stood under the stage and looked at the elegant and generous Tang Jiali on the stage, and his mind couldn't quite remember the Tang Jiali who was lying on her shoulder and her tears wet her shoulder.

When he heard that the host invited Han Jixing to the stage, Wen Chen took a sip of Coke.

Han Jixing walked out of the crowd and slowly stepped onto the stage, he bent down slightly and bowed to the guests in the audience. Tang Jiali stared straight at him beside him, with unstoppable affection in her eyes.

After Wen Chen heard Han Jixing say "Thank you for coming to this engagement ceremony", he turned around and left the crowded hall.

She felt a little stuffy inside, and she felt out of place compared to the room full of people drinking champagne with goblets, and she probably didn't want to listen to it anymore.

After Han Jixing finished speaking in advance, he looked around and didn't see Wen Chen. Many people who knew and didn't know congratulated him and Tang Jiali with wine glasses, and they said the same words and couldn't hear any sincere blessings.

Han Jixing saw his stepmother and Tang Jiali's father talking happily, which made him feel that there was no difference between this engagement ceremony and the scene where the contract was signed. He felt stuffy and dry, and tugged at his tie, trying to get outside to catch his breath.

Then, outside, he saw Wen Chen leaning on the railing.

The skirt that Wen Chen wore had also been worn during his visit to Kamakura Kokumae Station, the hem of which fluttered in the evening breeze, and he saw her with one leg stretched out and the other bent, her head bowed, not knowing what she was thinking.

He walked over and touched the glass in her hand with his tall glass. There was a "bang", and the glass collided with the glass with a crisp sound, and she seemed to be startled, and her body trembled visibly.

"What are you thinking, so fascinated?"

"No, I'm just thinking about the lights of ten thousand homes, which one is the light left for me." She teased.

"Then I guess you won't be able to find it." Han Jixing picked up his wine glass and took a small sip of champagne into his mouth. He cast his gaze on the neon in the distance, and the liquor slid down his throat and into his esophagus, eventually merging into his bloodstream without lowering the temperature in his body.

"I've been waiting for you to contact me." He said.

"I'm sorry, it was an accident, I accidentally broke my business card while doing laundry."

"If you had contacted me sooner, maybe we wouldn't have met again at this ridiculous engagement party. When I was at Kinkakuji, I said I was going to make a decision, which was actually whether or not to agree to the engagement. ”

"The process is not so important, the result is important, and the end result is that you choose Yes." Wen Chen touched his wine glass and said, "You and I are also friends, I wish you a happy engagement, cheers." ”

The city was brightly lit, but only a few stars flickered in the sky.

The two men outside were silent, unspeakable, while the hall across the wall was full of laughter.

It's just the same, no one knows what the other is thinking.
