Chapter 24: It turns out that she has already decided to leave

"I'll go, are you going to make an incense burner?"

Qin Jue pushed open the door of Jiang Xu's office, and at a glance saw the cigarette butts piled up in the ashtray on his desk.

Lu Jinghe, who came in behind him, was also stunned when he saw this, then frowned, turned his head and called a passing cleaner aunt to come in and help take out the cigarette butts in the ashtray and pour them out.

The cleaner aunt took the full stack of ashtrays and whispered suspiciously as she left.

"Strange, I changed it this morning."

“……”

Qin Jue glanced at Jiang Xu with a smile, walked to the sofa opposite Jiang Xu's desk, leaned up, turned his head, and lazily looked at Jiang Xu who was sitting on the black single sofa chair behind the desk.

Jiang Xu sat there in black, the first button of his black silk shirt was not buttoned properly, and it was loosely open, revealing his collarbone faintly.

His edges didn't seem to be as elaborate as they used to be, and they had become a little messy. Under a pair of deep peach blossom eyes, the faint tear mole, I don't know if it was smoked too much in the morning, it looked a little bleak.

Jiang Xu didn't speak, the small half of the cigarette in his hand was slowly burning, his head rested on the headrest of the sofa chair, his eyes were half-closed, and he looked at the scenery outside the floor-to-ceiling window expressionlessly.

Seeing this, Qin Jue was not in a hurry to speak, but just crossed his arms, leaned into the sofa that was also in black tones, and looked at Jiang Xu with a loose face.

Lu Jinghe came back from the bathroom, took the clean ashtray handed by the cleaner aunt, thanked him softly, closed the door and turned his head, and saw such a strange scene.

He twitched out of the corner of his eye and put the ashtray back on Jiang Xu's desk.

"Yuli really terminated the contract?"

"Hmm."

Perhaps because he had smoked too much, Jiang Xu's deep voice was mixed with a little graininess and exhaustion.

Jiang Xu and Qin Jue often stay together because of the interests of the family. And Lu Jinghe's father is the president of the bank, and he has no interests with Jiang Xu and Qin Jue's two families, so although Lu Jinghe grew up with the two of them since he was a child, his usual contact is not as frequent as Jiang Xu and Qin Jue, and he missed a lot of gossip, and he naturally felt a little surprised that Su Yuli suddenly proposed to terminate the contract.

Lu Jinghe wandered around Jiang Xu's large flat office, opened a closet, squatted down and rummaged for a long time, and took out a bag of cucumber-flavored potato chips with some unhappiness.

"Really, I told you last time I came that the butter-flavored potato chips are gone, and this time I still won't!"

Jiang Xu raised his eyebrows and glanced at Lu Jinghe.

"Tell Xu Tezhu that I haven't bothered to care about your business lately."

“……”

Lu Jinghe poured next to Qin Jue, tore open the bag of cucumber-flavored potato chips, took out a slice and put it in his mouth.

"So what? You're just here because the little girl ran away...... Mourned like this? ”

He glanced meaningfully at the ashtray in front of Jiang Xu.

Jiang Xu didn't rush to answer Lu Jinghe, he took a puff of the cigarette in his hand, and didn't rush to exhale, but waited for the smoke to pass through his body slowly and disperse casually on his lips.

"What's strange."

Jiang Xu still stared out the window without focus.

Su Yuli really terminated the contract, and she never looked for him again. It was as if she had suddenly evaporated from his life. It's a feeling of emptiness and unreality.

Mourning?

Perhaps, maybe the person who dangled in front of him every day suddenly disappeared, so he was a little unaccustomed to it.

Jiang Xu squinted his eyes and kept pressing that strange feeling back into the corner where it rose.

"Even if it's a cat, if you keep it for a long time, you will develop feelings."

"Oh......"

Lu Jinghe stuffed a handful of potato chips into his mouth and examined Jiang Xu.

"Then it depends on your posture...... Are you ready to get together with Yuli? ”

Jiang Xu turned his head to look at him, "Otherwise?" What do you want to say? ”

Lu Jinghe shrugged his shoulders, "It's nothing, it's just gossip about the situation of the two of you, because my family Xiaoxiao still likes Yuli, and she has been a little worried about the public opinion on the Internet recently, so I asked me to ask." ”

Qin Jue sighed, he didn't want to listen to this topic anymore, Jiang Xu's state during this time was very wrong, and even he began to be startled, he didn't want to go crazy with him.

"Okay, let's not talk about that, brothers go out for a drink tonight?"

Lu Jinghe coughed lightly, "Not tonight, today is Valentine's Day, I have to spend it with Xiaoxiao." ”

Qin Jue glanced at Jiang Xu, stretched out his elbow, and pushed Lu Jinghe's arm.

"You forget your friends, brother, it's Valentine's Day today, but how do I feel that you have been tired of being with Lin Xiaoxiao every day recently? I've never seen you like this before. ”

Lu Jinghe smiled innocently.

"No, Ren Xiaoxiao has encountered some sad things recently, and I'm in a bad mood, as a boyfriend, I can't accompany me?"

As if thinking of something, he glanced at Jiang Xu with a smile.

"My family's smile can't be compared with Yuli, people are very fragile, and they can't resist things as much as Yuli."

Qin Jue didn't expect Lu Jinghe to go around in a circle, and then coldly connotated Jiang Xu's head, he didn't react for a while, and after holding back for a long time, he still let out a 'snort' unkindly.

Lu Jinghe's girlfriend Lin Xiaoxiao, who has been with him for the past few days, just needs to work, so he just happened to get something nearby, so he came to Jiang Xu to sit here and inquire about the things his girlfriend explained.

He stayed in Jiang Xu's office for a while, and then left in a hurry, looking like he was in love.

Qin Jue propped his head, bent his legs on the sofa, and watched with interest as Jiang Xu picked up another cigarette and put it in his mouth.

"Brother, it's Valentine's Day, why don't we go out and find a few beautiful sisters for a drink? You can't let me be here and watch you smoke all day, can you? ”

When Jiang Xu heard this, he glanced at the calendar, there were no holidays marked on the calendar in his office, Xu Tezhu knew that he didn't like these bells and whistles, so every detail of his office, from big to small, was minimalist.

He suddenly remembered that in the past, Su Yuli liked to mark their important dates on his calendar, especially Valentine's Day.

On Valentine's Day, the second time they were together, Su Yuli took Jiang Xu to a store that sold time capsules. They chose a five-year package, which saved one time capsule every year, and after five years, they could take out all five capsules at once.

In the next three years, every Valentine's Day, Su Yuli would pull him over and write the time capsule seriously, originally they should have gone today, this is the fifth year they have been together, and the fourth time capsule should be buried.

Jiang Xu narrowed his eyes, and suddenly desperately wanted to know what was written in the three time capsules that Su Yuli had buried before.

"I have something to do, you can do it yourself."

Jiang Xu got up from his seat, put out the cigarette he had just lit in the ashtray, turned around and walked out of the office door.

"Ouch, huh?"

Qin Jue looked at Jiang Xu, who disappeared like the wind, first stunned for a second, and then snorted helplessly.

Anyway, it is estimated that people finally realized that they had lost such a good girl as Su Yuli, and they would go crazy for a few days.

-

Two hours later, Jiang Xu was already standing at the door of the time capsule shop.

HE LOOKED UP AND GLANCED AT THE SIGN, GOOD MEMORIES. The good memories seem ironic at this moment.

He walked in and was greeted warmly by the clerk. However, when he learned that he wanted to pick up the time capsule in advance, the clerk seemed a little embarrassed.

"Mr. Jiang, it's not that you can't take it in advance, but you are a time capsule for two people, may I ask, does your other half agree with you doing this?"

Jiang Xu was asked again with displeasure, he took a deep breath, the tip of his tongue ruffled around his back molars, took out a card and threw it at the front desk, and spoke impatiently.

"Get your store manager."

Ten minutes later, six time capsules were neatly placed in front of Jiang Xu, three were his, and three were Su Yuli's.

Jiang Xu didn't look at his three, but directly picked up Su Yuli's time capsule.

He was not interested in his past.

Jiang Xu opened Su Yuli's first time capsule, and a simple men's ring slipped out of the capsule, fell out, and rolled to his feet.

Jiang Xu leaned over to pick it up and put it on the table, before unfolding the note in the capsule.

Inside is Su Yuli's delicate font.

---

Ah Xu:

This ring is Hyacinth's Designer of the Year and is designed with the idea of facing thorns.

I'll buy you one a year, and when you get five enough, you'll be like Thanos, with a snap of your fingers, you can dispel the gloom in your heart.

If we're still together at that time, just propose to me.

---

Jiang Xu's eyes flashed, he put down the note and picked up the second capsule, this time, he opened it very carefully, first poured the ring in the palm of his hand, and then completely opened the time capsule.

---

Ah Xu:

In this world, every day, there are many people who are seriously in love with you. There are also many people you deserve to love.

The distance between us is not short, but I am willing to walk ninety-nine steps, and if you can't, then the last step will be up to me.

This ring is designed by Hyacinth's favorite designer, Adam Hatem, and I love it! Hope you like it too!

---

Jiang Xu's hand tightened slightly, and her mood suddenly became a little complicated, she used to love him so much.

"You didn't do it."

Unconsciously, he spoke softly.

Jiang Xu picked up the third time capsule, thinking that this year was already the fourth year that they had saved this time capsule, and if nothing happened, he should have received the fourth ring.

He opened the third capsule, tilted it a little, but nothing slipped out, and in confusion he opened the oval box in his hand completely, and there was no ring inside, only a note.

---

Ah Xu:

If you are lucky enough to fall in love with a girl in the future, please don't let her be as sad and sad as I am.

I wish you and I can have our own happiness in the future.

---

Jiang Xu was stunned, he was suddenly a little overwhelmed, thinking of a child who had done something wrong, he slowly read the content on the note again, very slowly.

It turned out that she had already decided to leave at that time?

It turns out that she is not talking angrily, everything she has done in the past year has only pushed her further?

In a corner of my heart, I was suddenly bitten by a little ant, and it was crispy and numb.

Immediately afterward, the ants began to frantically eat his heart.

A real, never-before-seen pain spread through his bloodstream.

Jiang Xu pressed his hand to the position of his heart with some puzzlement, guessing, is this feeling reluctant? Or regret it?

The corners of his lips suddenly and uncontrollably hooked a self-deprecating arc.

It doesn't matter, she's gone now anyway.

After a long time, Jiang Xu lowered his head, calmly put Su Yuli's note and ring into a time capsule, and walked out of the store.

The three capsules of his own were left directly in place, and he never touched them.
