Chapter 20 Unique
The wind blows and the moonlight is gentle.
Ji Yan didn't speak, just lowered his eyes and looked at Xu Chenyin quietly.
The four eyes were facing each other, and the firmness in Xu Chenyin's eyes did not flinch.
After a long time, Ji Yan retracted his gaze, and said in a deep voice: "Let's go, send you back." ”
Hearing that he didn't say anything to refute it, Xu Chenyin exhaled lightly in his heart, nodded, turned around and followed him to the apartment downstairs.
The moonlight stretched the shadows of the two and superimposed them, and Ji Yan walked half a step in front of her, her back standing tall and tall.
Xu Chenyin followed him step by step, no one spoke along the way, and the quiet atmosphere surrounded the two.
Until he walked downstairs in the apartment, Xu Chenyin took a small step forward, walked to Ji Yan's side, looked at Ji Yan sideways, paused, and said softly: "I'm here, thank you for sending me back today......"
Ji Yan nodded slightly, his Adam's apple slid down, and his voice said "um": "Go up." ”
With that, he turned and prepared to leave.
When the two bodies were staggered, Xu Chenyin suddenly raised her hand, and because of this action, her fingertips accidentally lightly scratched the back of his hand.
Ji Yan's body stiffened imperceptibly, stopped, looked down at her, and waited for her to speak first.
But in an instant, Xu Chenyin grabbed his wrist instead, and his voice was very shallow: "Ji Yan, can you send me up?" ”
Ji Yan was a little surprised, and his eyebrows raised slightly: "Reason." ”
Xu Chenyin coughed lightly, and under his gaze, his earlobes flushed with a touch of redness, and said slowly: "The elevator is broken, I have to take the fire staircase, I recently saw it on the Internet...... There are a lot of reports of insecurity, and my house is on the sixteenth floor, so it will take quite a while. ”
Ji Yan looked puzzled and asked, "Is the elevator broken?" ”
Xu Chenyin seemed to deliberately avoid his gaze, and nodded: "It's broken, it's been a few days." ”
Ji Yan saw her reaction in his eyes, didn't ask anything more, turned around and walked towards the apartment.
Seeing this, Xu Chenyin hurriedly followed, and when Ji Yan walked towards the elevator, she stretched out her hand and pointed to the fire escape in front: "This way." ”
Ji Yan's eyes paused slightly, and he followed her to the fire escape.
Waiting for the door of the fire corridor to be closed, Xu Chenyin's hanging heart fell, clicked on the mobile phone and looked at the time, 11 o'clock, how can it take more than 20 minutes to climb the stairs on the 16th floor.
Thinking like this, the corners of her mouth rose slightly uncontrollably, but when Ji Yan looked over, she immediately returned to a pale appearance, followed him, thought about it again and again, and asked softly: "Ji Yan, have you gone to Shipwreck Bay?" ”
Ji Yan's expression did not change "um", and he had no intention of answering.
Xu Chenyin lowered his eyes, looked at his feet, and asked, "That place must be very beautiful, I always wanted to go before, but every time I had to give up for various reasons." ”
Ji Yan's eyes flickered, but he still didn't say anything.
Xu Chenyin pursed her lower lip and continued: "When I first went to the United States, I tried to contact you, but you had already changed your number at that time, when I was just in college, I went back to Beijing, I wanted to find you and explain everything to you, but in the vast sea of people, you cut off contact with all your classmates in high school at the same time......
When she said this, she slowly raised her head and looked at Ji Yan with sour eyes: "The incident back then, I knew that it was always me who did it wrong, no matter what the process was, but after all, I missed the appointment, I'm sorry Ji Yan." ”
Ji Yan's eyes moved slightly, and he said lightly: "Xu Chenyin, I spent the most difficult period by myself, and now it's useless to say I'm sorry, my words are very clear, no matter what you do or say between us, it's impossible." ”
Hearing this, Xu Chenyin was stunned for a moment, then lowered his eyebrows and stopped speaking.
The oppressive atmosphere enveloped the two again, and in the silent fire corridor, only the footsteps of the two could be heard.
Until the sixteenth floor, Xu Chenyin stood in front of the door, and when Ji Yan turned around and was about to leave, he suddenly spoke: "Go in and drink a glass of water." ”
"No need." Ji Yan replied without thinking: "There is still something to do, go first." ”
Xu Chenyin looked at his back and asked abruptly, "Ji Yan, can't we even be friends?" ”
Hearing this, Ji Yan's eyes moved slightly, and he just wanted to speak, but was interrupted by the sound of the door opening on the other side.
"Chenyin, did you come back so late?"
A woman who looked to be in her forties walked out on the opposite side, with a fat body, and the moment she saw Ji Yan, the originally kind smile in her eyes instantly became vigilant, she looked at Xu Chenyin, and asked tentatively: "Chenyin, do you know?" ”
She asked, not forgetting to look at Ji Yan a few times at the same time.
"Acquaintance." Xu Chenyin was afraid that Wei Fang would misunderstand, so he hurriedly explained: "This is my ...... Colleague. ”
"Colleague."
Wei Fang wrapped the coat he was wearing, looked at it carefully, and the more he looked at it, the more familiar he became, so he asked with a smile: "Young man, have we seen it anywhere, how can I see you so familiar?" ”
After hearing Wei Fang's words, Xu Chenyin's heart suddenly lifted, stood behind Ji Yan, and waved his hand anxiously and slightly at Wei Fang.
But Wei Fang's mind was now full of thinking about where he had seen the man in front of him, and he didn't notice Xu Chenyin's gesture at all.
"I haven't seen it." After Ji Yan firmly denied it, he looked back at Xu Chenyin and said lightly, "Go first." ”
After he finished speaking, he walked straight to the fire hall, Xu Chenyin was just about to say something, but Wei Fang took the first step and said: "Young man, if you don't do the elevator, how can you take the stairs?" ”
“……”
Just when Xu Chenyin was stunned in place, he heard Wei Fang say excitedly: "I remember, aren't you the only ex-boyfriend who has been on Chenyin's lips and never forgot!" ”
“……”
Xu Chenyin only felt a sigh in his heart.
Hearing this, Ji Yan looked at Xu Chenyin with a somewhat complicated expression.
Time fell silent for a moment, and only Wei Fang's chattering words lingered in the ears of the two.
Xu Chenyin opened his lips, hesitated for a long time, and finally said, "Otherwise, you should come in and drink a glass of water." ”
Ji Yan didn't refuse again this time, but nodded.
"Chenyin, are you getting back together?"
Wei Fang looked at the figures of the two standing together, and decisively asked the doubts in his heart.
After she asked, she looked nervous again, after all, Chenyin, this little girl, is the niece and daughter-in-law she has always been optimistic about.
Xu Chenyin hurriedly shook his head and said softly: "It's not ...... yet."
"That's good!" Wei Fang blurted out, looked at Ji Yan's gaze, and said slightly embarrassed: "Young man, it's not early, let's go home early." ”
"Aunt Wei, you should go to bed early."
Xu Chenyin smiled at Wei Fang, turned around and pressed his fingerprint to unlock it, and tugged at Ji Yan's cuffs: "Come in." ”
