Chapter 24: Freedom
Although it is the height of summer, the small town of Luzhen has two wide rivers, so that the wind blowing is a little cool.
Li Jie raised her hand and pulled the broken hair around her ears casually, and watched Ji Xuan spread her hands again and said helplessly: "I said, I don't fall in love, you don't have to follow me anymore." ”
Ji Xuan is her high school classmate, and she has been chasing her since high school, all the way to college, and now graduating.
She knew that Ji Xuan liked her, but she really didn't have the idea of falling in love. She always felt that it was good to be single, to be free and free alone, and to have no scruples about anything.
She didn't understand what she was worthy of his perseverance and close following.
However, after listening to her words, Ji Xuan pursed his lips and smiled: "I'm sorry, I just happened to be traveling, and I heard that you were coming here, so I decided to come over to have a look, and I should be going back in a few days."
You know the situation of my family, I don't plan to look for a job to work, but I want to try to start my own business. Anyway, it's all out to play, and it's not bad to know more about the market every time you go to a place.
What about you, how are you doing, and when are you going to go back? ”
He looked at Li Jie with a calm and innocent expression, which made Li Jie a little embarrassed.
Originally, when she heard the first half of Ji Xuan's words, she still wondered why this person even knew so clearly about her and Lu Ning's preparation to start a business.
Fortunately, he explained it at the end, otherwise she would have had to dig deeper into the fear.
Ji Xuan's family is in business, and he is a rich second generation. It is very normal for him to want to start his own business if he doesn't want to work, and he has to study the market every time he goes to a place, and he is afraid that it is also an instinct.
Thinking of the misunderstanding in her heart, she coughed lightly and said, "I'll go back when I want to, I haven't decided yet." ”
Ji Xuan raised his eyebrows, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "Come on, I will also stay here for a few days, if you encounter any trouble, tell me." When you are away from home, multiple friends and multiple roads. ”
He also wanted to follow Li Jie and walk with her, but this was too deliberate and would scare people.
Now coincidentally staying in the same hotel is already the best result.
After the simple reminiscence, Li Jie turned around and entered the door without hesitation, and went back to the room with Lu Ning to put her luggage.
When the door was closed, Lu Ning was curious: "Why do you feel that you are not very happy?" Did Ji Xuan bully you? ”
She silently bowed to Ji Xuan in her heart, Li Jie is a simple little girl, and there is no worldly desire in her eyes.
Li Jie shook her head and sighed lightly: "Of course not, he can't bully me." ”
She picked out some key points, briefly talked about herself and Ji Xuan, and mentioned Ji Xuan's current thoughts.
Finally, he raised his head and said to Lu Ning with a slight apology: "You don't have to worry about him, he will go back by himself when he has had enough." ”
Living in a hotel, looking down and not looking up, she still said it briefly, so as not to make jokes later.
Lu Ning was speechless: "He's really dedicated enough, so you haven't considered him?" Or, you don't like him and hate him? ”
Ji Xuan's dedication made her not know what to say.
It is undeniable that from her point of view, she can send Ji Xuan a good person card. However, if you work hard in other things, you may still be rewarded. Feelings won't work, if you really don't feel anything, no matter how insistent it is, it's useless.
She is even glad that Jiang Yan also had feelings for her at the beginning, otherwise, it is very likely that she will become like Ji Xuan.
She thought that Li Jie really didn't like Ji Xuan, but unexpectedly, Li Jie said leisurely: "I don't hate him, it's just that I don't plan to fall in love now." ”
She stood by the window, looked at the traffic downstairs and continued: "I think that people have a lot of meaningful things to do in this life, and they don't have to fall in love.
I still have a lot of plans to do, there are still a lot of places I haven't visited, and I don't want to be bound by something as illusory as feelings. ”
She yearns for a free life, like birds in the air, as long as no one breaks their wings, they can fly freely.
Lu Ning's expression was in a trance, and she was noncommittal to her words.
I only heard Li Jie continue: "What about you, Lu Ning, do you think you are free?" Are you happier in your relationship, or are you sadder and more apprehensive? Do you regret it? ”
Originally, Lu Ning could be like her, free to go wherever she wanted, and she could stay in Jincheng to work.
But because of Jiang Yan, when she makes a choice, she can't help but choose a place close to Jiang Yan. will also subconsciously scruple about Jiang Yan when faced with a choice.
The sudden question made Lu Ning slightly stunned.
Immediately, she shook her head and smiled: "I don't regret it, feelings are a necessity for me, and it is also salvation." This is the person I have chosen, and we will help each other and support each other in the future. ”
Of course, this is a longing for the situation that they can get married smoothly and will not break up halfway.
The future is too long, and no one can say for sure.
One person has a person's way of living, and two people have two people's way of living. It's just that she longs for free companionship more than freedom and chic.
It is a joyful thing to strive for a better life for two people.
Li Jie pondered, "Really? Two people, better? ”
Lu Ning couldn't answer this question positively, so she had to shrug her shoulders and say, "For me, that's the case." ”
But for others, it is not clear to her whether this is the case.
As for Ji Xuan's desire to see the entrepreneurial environment in Luzhen, she also has her own ideas.
She still remembers that when she was on the train, she once called a friend and mentioned on the phone that she was going to start a business.
After so many days, now Li Jie and her appear in Luzhen together, which is indeed reverie. However, she can't speculate on this matter, so she can only observe and observe first.
In the final analysis, Ji Xuan himself doesn't have any bad intentions, he just wants to follow in the footsteps of his beloved.
Coincidentally, when they finished packing up their things and went downstairs, they happened to meet Ji Xuan, who was about to go out.
Ji Xuan took the lead in greeting: "Go out, do you want to be together?" I'm going to do some research around, what about you? ”
This move was preemptive, but Li Jie didn't know what to say.
She followed Lu Ning as a quail and didn't say anything.
Lu Ning replied: "Let's go out to eat, and by the way, take a look to see if there is a suitable house." ”
"That's a good relationship, why don't you be together?" Ji Xuan seized the opportunity and took the initiative to invite.
Lu Ning looked at Li Jie and saw that she just raised her eyebrows and did not refuse, so she directly agreed.
She originally wanted to test whether her guess just now was correct, so she heard Ji Xuan take the initiative to say: "I accidentally heard your phone call on the train before, are you going to start a business here?" ”
