Chapter 38: You Can't Regret It
Before five minutes had passed, Jiang Qishu appeared at the gold leaf bar.
He came running across the road. His eyes were always on the traffic light, and when there were three seconds left in the countdown to the red light, he bent his elbows and prepared for the 100-meter sprint.
During this time, the phone rang in the pocket non-stop.
You don't need to look at it to know that it is Li Aoran, who was abused miserably in the game, and there is nowhere to vent his grievances, and he grabbed Jiang Qishu and bombed wildly. Who let him hang up at a critical moment, without even a word of explanation.
Jiang Qishu didn't care at all, panting and searching the bar, and saw Liang Cicada holding a tray at a glance, and Shao Linfeng, who was staring at her not far behind her.
Jiang Qishu's boiling blood cooled instantly, and the upper and lower lips were pursed into lines.
The calmed brain began to function normally, and he took out his phone and re-read the message sent by Liang Chan.
- You come to me now, I'll be your girlfriend.
Reading this sentence carefully, it does not look like a well-thought-out reply, but more like the product of impulse. Jiang Qishu probably guessed what was going on.
Liang Chan wanted to use him to win back a city from Shao Linfeng.
He licked his lips, he didn't expect such a clichΓ© plot to play out on him one day.
"Jiang Qishu, you're here." After Liang Chan finished delivering wine to the guest, he raised his eyes and saw him standing there with a stunned expression with his eyes slightly lowered, and walked over and said, "You have to wait for me for a while, I will get off work at nine o'clock today." β
Jiang Qishu pressed the lock screen button, exhaled lightly, and chuckled as usual: "I'll wait for you." β
There weren't many people on weeknights, so Liang Chan found him a corner where no one would disturb him and invited him to drink a glass of lime water at room temperature.
Looking at Shao Linfeng again, he left expressionlessly.
The events experienced this night were enough to wear out all people's energy, and Liang Chan was physically and mentally tired, but he still gritted his teeth and carried it, shuttling through the crowd like a walking corpse to serve them.
When it was finally over, she felt that her body didn't belong to her anymore.
Liang Chan went to the locker to get her bag and coat, You Ge followed, she hid her stomach with questions, and finally seized the opportunity and didn't want to let it go.
She leaned against the cabinet door, a freshly lit lady's cigarette in her hand, the smoke smelling of raspberries.
"Who are you, I think he was very lonely when he left, you won't have a paragraph, right?" You Ge made a bold guess.
Liang Chan put on his coat and said nonchalantly: "There is nothing, don't guess." β
"So what's your relationship? I'm so curious! β
Liang Chan stopped, looked at her, and lifted the corners of his mouth weakly, wanting to laugh, but he was too tired to laugh: "Because of some things, I lived in his house for a while, and now that I have moved out, we have nothing to do." β
You Ge saw that she didn't want to say much, and she couldn't ask anything more, so she changed her expression in a blink of an eye, raised her eyebrows with interest and said, "I said that your little sister is used to having a cold face, Yanfu is really not shallow, and she has come one after another." The boy who has been waiting for you outside is so handsome, I am thrilled to see it, is it your boyfriend? It's not like I'm going to chase it. β
Hearing the word "boyfriend", Liang Chan's relaxed nerves tightened, and he realized what he had done to force Shao Linfeng away.
"I'll tell you another day, I'll go first." Liang Chan hurriedly finished speaking, cheered up and ran out.
You Ge smiled, snuffed out the cigarette in his hand, and sighed that it was good to be young.

Jiang Qishu rarely comes to the bar, after drinking a glass of lime water, he leans on the booth to play with his mobile phone, unable to concentrate on playing games, he scrolls through various social platforms, and urgently needs something fast-paced to dispel the cranky thoughts in his head.
The phone was almost out of battery, and he stopped only when a reminder of 20% battery was left.
In this process, he also figured out that it didn't matter what reason Guan Liang Chan agreed to be his girlfriend. The important thing is that she is now his girlfriend.
That's enough.
Jiang Qishu's eyes followed Liang Chan's figure, and seeing that she was almost over, he got up in advance and waited on the way out, and Liang Chan could see him as soon as he came over.
She looked at him, her eyelashes fluttering, her eyes dodging, and her fingers unconsciously scratching the bag belt, revealing a little helplessness.
Liang Chan didn't know how to face him.
Jiang Qishu quickly adapted to her boyfriend's identity, reached over to help her carry the bag, tilted her head and asked, "Have you had dinner?" β
"I ate it when I came." Liang Chan replied embarrassedly.
"What did you eat?"
"Pancakes."
"I haven't eaten, do you want to eat with me again?"
Liang Chan didn't refuse, and hummed softly.
Jiang Qishu felt that this was a good start, hooked the corners of his mouth, carried her canvas bag on one shoulder, held her hand before crossing the road, glanced left and right, and paid attention to the traffic coming and going.
Liang Chan was startled, and looked down at the hands they were holding together, a hundred of them were uncomfortable. But I have to admit that his hand is wide and warm, holding her hand, like a warm baby with a constant temperature in her palm.
"Gone." The green light turned on, and Jiang Qishu pulled her to walk on the zebra crossing.
They went to the restaurant they had eaten together before, and the boss seemed to know Jiang Qishu, and greeted him with a smile when he saw him: "I haven't seen your figure for a long time, I thought you weren't coming." The boss was holding a rag in his hand, doing chores, and glanced at the girl who was held in his hand like a baby by Jiang Qishu, and said with understanding, "Your girlfriend?" β
Jiang Qishu nodded vigorously: "Hmm!" β
"Okay, find a place to sit by yourself, and I'll urge the back kitchen." The boss said as he walked back, "There are not many people now, and the food is served quickly, wait a minute." β
Jiang Qishu swept around, pulled Liang Cicada to the dining table near the heating, reluctantly let go of her hand, and sat opposite.
For a while, Liang Chan was covered with a layer of sweat by the hand he was holding, sticky and greasy. She sat down in silence, and handed a cup of steaming brown rice tea in front of her, exuding the aroma of fried rice.
"Warm up with some tea." Jiang Qishu said.
Liang Chan held the glass in both hands, glanced at him, looked away, looked at him again, repeated it several times, and stopped talking.
He's so smart, wouldn't he think it's strange that she suddenly agreed to be his girlfriend?
Why didn't he ask why?
"Jiang Qishu." Liang Chan took a big sip of tea, as if he had gathered enough courage, and said intermittently, "Actually, tonight, it was because Shao Linfeng came to me that he ......"
"Liang Chan, if you don't want to say it, you don't have to say it, you don't have to force yourself in front of me."
Jiang Qishu could feel her embarrassment, perhaps the reason behind this incident involved something in her deepest heart. Those things can't be easily touched, they will hurt her. He would rather be confused than reveal her scars.
"If, one day, you don't think it's important anymore, and you can easily say it, as simple as saying, 'It's a nice weather today,' I'm more than willing to be a listener. But I know not right now. Jiang Qishu picked up the small teapot, refilled some tea for her, and said with a smile, "I don't care." As long as the result is what I want. β
Liang Chan's eyes were very sour, and he was afraid that he would see it, so he hurriedly lowered his head.
You Ge was curious about the matter between her and Shao Linfeng, knowing that she was in a bad mood, and asked her one after another. Only Jiang Qishu, only he considered whether she was sad or not.
"However, you agreed to be my girlfriend yourself, and you can't go back." Jiang Qishu grabbed his phone and tried to call up the message she sent to him and show it to her as evidence.
Pressed the phone, turned off the phone when the power ran out, Jiang Qishu frowned, looked at the person opposite with his arms in his hands, and emphasized: "In short, you can't go back." β
