The days gradually returned to their original calm, as if everything was supposed to be like this, and Chen Shaohua never appeared in her life.

She put the key back in the box, and she didn't know where it was used to open the lock, and now Uncle Chen and Aunt Chen had gone abroad, so everything would have to wait until when they would come back in the future.

The time of winter vacation passed quickly, and Xia Lichen, who ushered in a new life again, became a lot more silent in school, and did not pay much attention to anything other than studying and preparing for internships every day.

Finally, on the day of graduation in her senior year, just after taking her graduation certificate, she and Tang Lin walked out of the campus hand in hand, which also indicated that her student career was completely over.

It's just that Chen Jiawen, who has not been seen for a long time, is actually waiting for her outside the school gate at this time.

"Li Chen, if you have anything, just go and talk about it, I'll go back and wait for you with Li Xin first."

Although a long time ago, she only knew that Chen Jiawen was as hateful as Gu Jingrui, but some of the things that happened later coupled with his relationship with that person, so Tang Lin gradually let go of her prejudices against him.

Xia Lichen nodded after hearing this, she didn't have to think about her to know what Chen Jiawen came to find her for today.

She calmly got into the other party's car, and at first neither of them took the initiative to talk, just quietly looked out the window.

"Where do you plan to work in the future?"

seemed to be silent for a long time, Chen Jiawen finally asked slowly, in the past year or so, he has changed a lot compared to before, and his handsome appearance is no longer as flamboyant as before, but it has added a little stability.

"My brother just got admitted to his freshman year today, so I'm definitely going to be by his side, so I'm going to join the company where I did my senior internship."

Her voice is particularly flat, just like her current situation.

"It's not just for your brother, is it?"

Chen Jiawen smiled, although they have changed a lot over the years, it is obvious that Xia Lichen has had the most difficult time.

She didn't rush to answer, she still stared out the window, but she was even more numb

"Over the years, you have managed the company for Aunt Chen and them, it should have been very hard, right?"

Now Chen's father and Chen's mother are still abroad, and since their only son is gone, this huge family business seems to have no meaning for them.

During this period, Xia Lichen talked to Chen's mother on the phone, Chen's father's health was still not very good, but he didn't want to go back to China, she said that he was afraid to return here and remember those sad pasts.

Yes, everyone thinks differently, but for Xia Lichen, this city is full of too many good memories of her and Shaohua......

"This is what I should do, originally our family was originally Uncle Chen's most contribution, I used to only think about going out to play crazy all day long, so I encountered a lot of headaches when I was managing the company at first."

Although Chen Jiawen said that it was difficult, his tone was so light-hearted.

The two of them didn't talk anymore, and it wasn't until the car drove to the cemetery where Chen Shaohua was buried that Xia Lichen's face slowly had a trace of emotional fluctuations.

Although she has been to this place countless times, the mood is different every time she comes.

When the two walked to that familiar place together, Xia Lichen calmly put the flowers he bought when he took his graduation photo in front of Chen Shaohua's tombstone.

"Shaohua, I graduated today! There is also Tang Lin, we went to take graduation photos together, and I have already chosen the company I will join in the future, I will not leave the city, because ...... Because you're still here. ”

She couldn't help but say a lot of words, obviously trying to restrain herself, but her eyes were still moistening at that moment.

Chen Jiawen behind him did not say anything, but stood straight with an indescribably complicated mood.

In fact, for more than a year, he and Xia Lichen rarely saw each other.

"It's all good on the company side, I haven't forgotten what you told me before, but sometimes I really feel that if you were there, you would definitely do better than me."

He took out a small bottle of red wine from his arms, took a sip of it himself and then put the rest on the ground, no one is good about Chen Shaohua's original death, even he still feels that his cousin is still there.

Hearing Chen Jiawen's words, Xia Lichen's heart, which was still numb, finally had a clear sense of pain.

Leaving the world at the best age, the life that should have been indefinitely expected has come to an abrupt end, which is a fact that even outsiders will regret.

When he finally left the cemetery, looking at the fiery sky above, Xia Lichen secretly wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes.

"Actually, if you want, you can come and help me manage the company with me, although I can't give you a high position at the beginning, but I believe in your ability."

On the way back, Chen Jiawen seemed to suddenly think of something and couldn't help but argue with Xia Lichen's proposal.

"It's better not to use it, after all, we know each other, and I still hope to rely on my own efforts to fight."

Xia Lichen replied without thinking about this, when she talked to Chen's mother on the phone before, she also proposed to herself, but there was no way, she still wanted to break through by herself.

"I know, so be whatever you want, but come to me whenever you need it."

Back then, he himself mistook Xia Lichen and regarded her as a little girl who worshiped money and was vicious, but he has also regretted this matter all these years.

He finally understood why Shaohua had been obsessed with Xia Lichen since he was a child, so the two of them should have been a natural pair.

In the end, Chen Jiawen sent her to the nearest intersection from home, which was also requested by Xia Lichen, thinking that Li Xin and Tang Lin were still waiting for her at home, they must have cooked the meal at this time, so they planned to buy some snacks and go back.

It's just that when she happened to be carrying snacks to her home halfway, she met someone she hadn't seen for many years in this place, and that person was Zhao Mengjie.

Since the last time they met, the two have not seen each other since they solved the misunderstanding between each other in high school.

Zhao Mengjie changed into a new sports car, and she was dressed more fashionably than before, she saw that the person was Xia Lichen and quickly took the initiative to stop the other party.

Of course, Xia Lichen couldn't help but smile when he saw her, the two of them who were so-for-tat when they were young next year now seem to be a pair of friends who haven't seen each other for a long time.

"Are you going home? Do you need me to send you? ”

"No need, my house is in the neighborhood around the corner in front, your sports car is so cool, it looks better than before."

Xia Lichen waved his hand, and then naturally took out a bottle of drink from the bag and handed it to the other party.

"That's it! I recently came back from abroad, and this is my dad's new car, and he knows that I like this style of sports car the most. ”

Zhao Mengjie still loves to show off as before, but people don't have bad intentions, and they do have that strength.

"I just graduated from college today, and if I wait a little longer, I will completely become an office worker, I really envy you for being so happy." Xia Lichen joked with a smile.

"Since you've said so, it seems that you want to invite me, an old classmate, to sit at your house?"

Although a few years ago, when the two separated, she also said that she should not treat her as a good person, and it was basically impossible for the two to become good friends, but at this time she actually took the initiative to say that she wanted to go to her house to sit.

"Of course that's good! I invited you last time, but you didn't. Xia Lichen readily agreed, and then she took Zhao Mengjie home.

Except that Xia Lichen didn't know who Zhao Mengjie was, Tang Lin recognized the other party at a glance, and just about to say something, Xia Lichen hurriedly explained to her briefly.

"Original...... I see! ”

Tang Lin was still a little stunned after hearing this, but Zhao Mengjie had already changed her shoes and came in.

"Although the place is a little smaller, you have a good eye and the decoration is very warm."

"yes, who doesn't know that your family has money."

After hearing this, Tang Lin hurriedly replied, but the two of them only said it casually, and they were not as hostile as before.

Dinner was made by Xia Lixin and Tang Lin, and since he was a freshman, he began to learn to cook, so the dishes cooked are really no worse than his sister's.

Probably because they finally grew up, so after dinner, Tang Lin and Zhao Mengjie also chatted, plus Xia Lichen made peace, so she simply told everyone about Su Yarou.

After all, she has carried the black pot for someone for so many years, and it is time to make a name for herself.

After hearing this, except for Xia Lichen, the faces of the other two were very shocked, and Tang Lin even felt sick to his stomach.

"Yes, yes! I was the same as you at the beginning, even if I think about it again, I still feel sick to my stomach, so you treat me like a bad person like Xia Lichen did at the beginning, I am really angry, although I am really not a good person. ”

Zhao Mengjie became more and more energetic the more she talked, and after taking the water handed over by Xia Lichen, she continued to talk endlessly, which couldn't help but make everyone realize that she still had such a cute side.

During this period, Tang Lin was also very emotional, so she accidentally choked when she drank water, and Xia Lixin on the side saw that she didn't want to think about it, so she hurriedly helped her carry it smoothly, and the two of them acted like this very naturally.

Seeing these in his eyes, the corners of Xia Lichen's mouth couldn't help but hook slightly.

Zhao Mengjie didn't leave until late at night, this time they really didn't know each other, the three of them sent her outside the community together, and Xia Lichen also packed her with a box of small biscuits and cakes baked by herself.

"Okay, you guys go back first, I just returned to China, and my dad may let me go to other places to study things in the future, and when I come back, we'll get together again."

Zhao Mengjie was sent abroad by her family in her sophomore year, and she didn't study abroad at the beginning, but in the same way, there are many things to do after graduation.

Watching the other party's car disappear into the night, Xia Lichen couldn't help but sigh that time was rushing.

"Li Chen, I completely understand, even if we were friends with Zhao Mengjie, we shouldn't have ...... with Su Yarou."

Tang Lin stepped forward to hold her hand, not only Xia Lichen, but also Zhao Mengjie's graduation today, which also reminded her of her previous high school days.
