Chapter 3 Engaged
Tang Li thought about it for a while, and sent the photo to her in the group of three friends and also sent it to Du Zizhong, after all, this is the place where Du Zizhong recommended it to her.
After sending it, Tang Li stared at the avatar of Ji Yanci on the newsletter for a while, with Ji Yanci's temperament, I am afraid that he will only think that the pictures she sent are very irritable, besides, he is so busy......
There were too many worries, and Tang Li didn't have the heart to send it to him.
This rape field is a little far away from the center of the town, Tang Li stayed here for a while and even forgot the way back, she didn't bother to go to the mobile phone to turn the map to navigate, first ate a bowl of cold chicken rice noodles in the small restaurant opposite the rape flower field, and then walked along the road at will.
During this time, Du Zizhong also sent her a message, asking her if she had eaten and whether she needed his arrangement.
Tang Li walked for a long time, her legs that had not been exercised for a long time were a little sore, and she looked up at the surrounding street signs, strangely there was nothing, this neighborhood seemed to be a little remote, and there were no cars on the road.
Out of nowhere, there was a gurgling sound of running water, which seemed to be close at hand, but Tang Li couldn't find the source, which aroused her curiosity.
She even stood on tiptoe to look around, not knowing where the water was coming from, but she saw nothing but the long road with no end in sight and the hills in the distance.
On the opposite side of Tang Li, two men with dark complexions walked in front of them, they walked side by side, their eyes fell on Tang Li's body and looked up and down, Tang Li was very uncomfortable, and stopped uneasily.
There were no pedestrians on the road, so Tang Li had to turn sideways to the road, pretending to be waiting for someone, her mind cluttered with images of the girls being hurt on the news, but she was observing where the two men went.
Tang Li hoped that all this was just her own thoughts, and the two men might pass by directly, but they finally stopped only about two meters away from her, which made her suddenly panic.
Tang Li held the mobile phone tightly in his hand and wanted to call Ji Yanci, but if he really misunderstood, would Ji Yanci feel that he was delaying his work?
"Miss, are you here for a tour?" One of the men suddenly spoke to Tang Li, Tang Li glanced at him, the other party was polite, she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and replied, "Yes." β
"I'll just say, you don't look like a local." He smiled and exchanged glances with his companion, then said, "Is it a person who is here to travel?" Isn't it fashionable to travel now? β
Tang Li glanced at them cautiously and took a step back quietly, she smiled politely, but her instinct told her that she shouldn't have too much communication with these two people, so she didn't reply.
But the two didn't seem to give up, and the other man continued: "We don't have any malicious intent, we just want to ask you for a WeChat, is it okay?" It's a bit of a distance from the hotels in town, we can give you a ride back, we know this place well, we know everything. β
Tang Li shook his head: "No, my friend will be here in a while, I'll be waiting for him here." β
The two men glanced at each other and didn't leave, Tang Li's heart was about to rise to his throat, and he secretly thought that even if he drove by a car at a fast speed at this time.
One of the men stretched out his hand towards Tang Li, and before he could touch Tang Li's exposed arm, he saw Tang Li suddenly run to the side of the road, waving at a red convertible car that had just driven from the other side of the mountain and shouting: "I'm here!" β
After a while, the car slowed down and stopped steadily in front of Tang Li, the owner of the car was a handsome man, it seemed that he was either rich or expensive, the two men hurriedly looked sideways, pretending to be nothing.
Tang Li also recognized this man at this time, his peach blossom eyes impressed her, Tang Li was stunned, and then reacted very quickly to open the passenger door and sit in.
She raised the man's slightly puzzled eyes, tried to hook up a smile, and said coquettishly: "Honey, why are you here now, just now two men asked for my WeChat, I don't know what to do if you don't come?" β
Tang Li said and looked at Jiang Yu with a respectful look and looked at him for help.
Jiang Yujin also reacted instantly, he frowned and looked at the two men, they turned around and walked quickly in the other direction, Jiang Yujin only saw their hurried backs.
Tang Li raised her head and looked over, and when she saw that the person had left, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, she turned her head to Jiang Yujin and said, "Thank you, good man." β
Jiang Yujin put one hand on the window to support his head, and replied to her: "No thanks." β
Tang Li nodded, opened the car door and prepared to go down, Jiang Yu said in a lazy tone: "Since you are all good people, it shouldn't be difficult to send you back, you don't have to be polite." β
"No, I'm ......"
"It's a remote place, and it's a town, and many places are not monitored, so you're not afraid of encountering what happened just now?"
This made Tang Li hesitate, she still had palpitations about what happened just now, she silently closed the car door, turned her head to Jiang Yu and replied, "Then thank you, Mr. Jiang Er." β
Jiang Yujin suddenly looked at her strangely, as if he was holding back something, and he asked in disbelief, "What did you call me?" β
Tang Li was stunned, and his voice weakened a little unconfidently: "I saw them call you that in the parking lot that day, is it wrong?" β
The corners of Jiang Yujin's mouth hooked, and he replied, "That's right." β
The car started to speed up gradually, Tang Li unnaturally fastened her seat belt, she remembered that the man was driving a racing car.
The car has no roof, and the cool breeze should be swishing into the car, but fortunately, Jiang Yujin is not driving fast, and it seems that he is deliberately reducing his speed, and the wind is surging in as comfortable as a breeze.
Tang Li glanced at Jiang Yujin with side eyes, his expression seemed to be a little puzzled, I was afraid that he had forgotten about the parking lot, and he didn't know if he remembered her.
But he's a good guy, and luckily he stopped the car, otherwise I don't know what would have happened.
"Miss Tang, do you know that staring at a man all the time will make others very uncomfortable?" Jiang Yujin suddenly said lightly.
Tang Li came back to her senses suddenly, and hurriedly withdrew her gaze, a little embarrassed, she just patronized and thought about things, where did she remember the sight that fell on others.
Anyway, how did this man know that her surname was Tang? As soon as Tang Li wanted to speak, her mobile phone rang.
"Hey, Yuqin."
"Tang Li, have you confessed to Ji Yanci?" Zheng Yuqin said anxiously.
Tang Li was stunned and replied puzzledly: "No, it's not that you care so much about whether I have confessed or not?" β
"No, I just got the news that Ji Yanci is going to get engaged, do you know? His fiancΓ©e was still personally picked up from abroad by him, and it is said that the date of engagement has been set, and it will be officially announced. β
Tang Li's heart sank suddenly, as if she was overwhelmed by something, her fists were clenched, and she said thoughtlessly: "Where did you get the news from?" β
"The news of Ji's young president Ji Yanci is big news, not to mention that it is such a big event as the marriage of two families, the circle has long been spread, don't believe it, ask the people of your magazine, it is estimated that it has been written for a long time.
Why are you slower than me, shouldn't you. β
What Zheng Yuqin said later, Tang Li couldn't listen to it anymore, her brain was blank, and even her mobile phone almost slipped out of her hand.
"Tang Li, what are you going to do?" Zheng Yuqin said worriedly, she didn't know how much Tang Li liked Ji Yanci, and for a long time, she played a listening role in this secret love.
"I don't know ......"
She didn't know how to deal with it, Tang Li's heart was in a mess, she just wanted to see Ji Yanci quickly at the moment, only when Ji Yanci told her that she was going to get engaged, she could believe it and believe it.
Maybe this is self-deception, but Tang Li can't think of any other way.
Xu is because her tears kept falling, the man next to her who was concentrating on driving glanced at her sideways, Tang Li couldn't see anything clearly in front of her, the fog was hazy, she reached out to wipe the tears on her face, and was surprised to find that her hands were extremely cold, and her face was full of wet heat, and the extreme contact between the two made her tremble involuntarily.
"You like him a lot?" Jiang Yu asked lightly, he heard all the conversations just now, he shouldn't be nosy, but he still asked inexplicably.
The corners of Tang Li's mouth inexplicably hooked up a mocking smile, reflecting her lips even paler, and she replied softly: "What's the use of liking?" β
Jiang Yujin frowned and didn't speak again, he didn't have the habit of preparing paper in the car, otherwise he really wanted to get a tissue for this girl to stop the tears that kept falling and seemed to dry up.
The car slowly drove into the main entrance of the hotel, Tang Li realized that she had actually arrived at the destination, she got out of the car, and thanked Jiang Yujin again with blank eyes, and hurriedly ran towards the lobby.
Tang Li didn't remember until she arrived here, she didn't know which room Ji Yanci lived in, she staggered and slowed down to dial Ji Yanci's number, until the voice of the mechanical female voice came, and Ji Yanci didn't answer the phone.
Tang Li wiped her tears with one hand, and dialed Du Zizhong's phone with the other, but no one answered.
A nameless grievance came to her heart, and she couldn't stop it, Tang Li suddenly had a feeling as if she had been abandoned by everyone, this feeling was no stranger to her, the last time was when she was sent to Ji's house by relatives in a hurry after her parents had an accident.
The sky outside gradually darkened, Tang Li sat on the sofa in the hotel lobby for guests to sit and rest, glanced towards the door from time to time, and then silently withdrew his gaze.
She didn't know how long she had been waiting, as if she was not tired or hungry.
The clock hanging on the wall pointed to eleven o'clock, and Tang Li saw people.
Ji Yanci and a few people walked in, the leader of those people leaned sideways and said something to Ji Yanci, Ji Yanci didn't know how much he listened, his eyes stopped and looked at the people not far away.
"What are you doing here?" Ji Yanci asked in a cool voice.
Tang Li walked in front of him and stopped, his eyes were already a little tired: "Brother, I have something to tell you." β
Ji Yanci frowned, what is the need to stand here and wait for him all the time, looking at Tang Li like this, he was upset for no reason, and the tone of his voice when he turned his head to the few people around him was also a little impatient: "You go back first." β
Several people looked at each other, nodded towards Ji Yanci and Tang Li, and then left.
Ji Yanci said, "Why don't you call me?" Why are you waiting here? It is not difficult to hear the reproach in his tone.
Tang Li tugged at the corners of her lips, and only cared about asking what she thought in her heart: "Brother, are you going to get engaged?" β
Ji Yanci was shocked in his heart, but his face was still steady, and he subconsciously asked, "Who told you?" β
Tang Li continued uneasily: "Will you be engaged to someone else? Is it true? β
The two looked at each other, and thick tears accumulated in Tang Li's eyes, as if they were going to fall all the time in the next moment, she was waiting, waiting for an answer.
There was silence in the air, and after a while, Tang Li heard Ji Yanci reply: "Yes." β
Tang Li let out a long "ah", tears fell instantly, and she smiled inexplicably: "Brother, do you know why I came here to find you?" β
Tang Li felt that she was ridiculous, she didn't know anything, her eyes were full of worries and she didn't know how to express her heart to Ji Yanci, Ji Yanci already had a marriage contract, he was afraid that he only felt that he was inexplicable, and he came here to make trouble for him.
The jumping clown, disguised under the mask, is extremely flustered and overwhelmed.
Ji Yanci didn't answer her question, Tang Li looked into his eyes, there were feelings that she couldn't study thoroughly, just that, she already knew.
Tang Li lowered his head, no longer looked at him, and just whispered: "Brother, I'll go back tomorrow, you must be very busy these days, I'm still bothering you here, I'm sorry." β
"Tang Li......" Ji Yanci's voice was very deep.
"Brother, I wish you and your sister-in-law happiness, I'm really sorry, I'm sorry." Tang Li turned her head and walked slowly towards the elevator, she had been waiting for a long time, her feet were not good, she almost fell down just now, and there was still a faint pain in the ankle ring at the moment.
Ji Yanci looked at the back of her leaving, the girl's whole body was depressed, walking very slowly step by step, as if every step was to stand firm before continuing to walk forward, a row of bright yellow lights on the ceiling, pulling her back very long, and very narrow.
He suddenly remembered that he hadn't asked her just now, had she had lunch on time?
Ji Yanci didn't know that this back was eternal, and she kept walking forward like that, getting farther and farther away from him, until she disappeared from his life.
Tang Li booked the ticket to go back that night, and she stuffed things into her suitcase indiscriminately, and the suitcase was full of bulge, except for the two bracelets that were going to be given to Ji Yanci.
The bracelet had been packed in a boutique box by her last night, and she was going to give it to Ji Yanci today, but she didn't expect it to be forgotten by her.
Maybe this is the destiny of heaven, which is destined to never be delivered.
Tang Li laughed bitterly inexplicably, sat directly on the floor, and stared blankly at the sight.
When it was close to one o'clock in the morning, Tang Li received a text message from Du Zizhong, saying that his mobile phone and Ji Yanci's mobile phone were forgotten in the car, and he would not get it back until the car was taken for cleaning at night, and asked Tang Li if there was anything urgent?
