Chapter 117: "Waiting for the Moon to Fall to the Milky Way"
Jiang Jianyue enlarged the photo.
The photo shows the familiar OUHK, which has been on the school gate for four years.
In the middle of summer, a group of students passed by the school gate in pairs.
And at the back of the crowd, under a ginkgo tree, there was a black boy with his hands in his pockets, just standing there quietly.
Zhou Baoyi: [I just looked at the shooting time, on the day of our graduation ceremony, Jiang Shuo took a picture of us at the school gate, and accidentally photographed this boy. γ
Zhou Baoyi: [You confirm again, is it your husband? ] is so handsome, you shouldn't be mistaken. γ
Zhou Baoyi felt that it was impossible to admit his mistake, and Jiang Jianyue was even more sure.
The boy in the photo is clearly Xie Xingqi, her husband who gets along day and night, there will be absolutely nothing wrong!
But why did he appear at OUHK?
Zhou Baoyi is still messaging her: [Yueyue, did your husband know you before? γ
Jiang Jianyue was slightly stunned and replied: [Yes, we are high school classmates. γ
Zhou Baoyi: [??? γ
Zhou Baoyi: [You don't say such important information! ] You talked about it in high school? γ
Jiang Jianyue: [No. γ
She briefly talked about the marriage process of the two people.
Zhou Baoyi's WeChat was quiet for a while, and then sent a message: [Bao, I have a guess, will he come to you, otherwise why would a Beijing college student suddenly come to OUHK? And in the end, you two got married, how could it be such a coincidence? γ
Jiang Jianyue was blindsided by her series of words.
Xie Xingqian went to OUHK to find himself?
Why?
In the year when they were classmates, although they sat at the front and back tables, the relationship was actually that of ordinary classmates, faint.
If you really want to say that it is closer than ordinary classmates, that is, neighbors.
But that's all.
There was no connection between them, which was enough for Xie Xingqian to come all the way to the OUHK to find him.
At this time, Zhou Baoyi sent a message again: [Your husband liked you in high school. γ
Jiang Jianyue was stunned when she saw this row of words.
Then the sound in my ears disappeared, and the whole world fell into a stagnant silence.
The memory was reversed, and she remembered that in the past period of time, Xie Xingqian had told her several times-
"I used to have a crush on you."
She had heard this sentence several times, but she had never taken it seriously.
In her heart, the two of them just got married first and then fell in love, and the so-called "secret love" was just a lie made up to prevaricate outsiders.
But what if it's true?
Jiang Jianyue was a little confused, did Xie Xingqian really have a crush on her?
Counting their past, Jiang Jianyue didn't feel that she had any ambiguous or unforgettable stories with Xie Xingqi.
Although she knows that she is indeed popular.
But Xie Xingqi is too.
He has good grades and good looks, and he is a kaolin-like existence in the hearts of all the girls in the school, and no one can resist his charm.
Jiang Jianyue never thought that that Xie Xingqian would like herself, even a crush.
But now, the tip of the iceberg is revealed, and she is both skeptical and incredulous.
However, Ding Ran and they clearly said that Xie Xingqian had fallen out of love when he graduated, and the girl he liked had a boyfriend during that period.
When you think about it this way, it is unlikely that she will ......
Wrong!
Jiang Jianyue suddenly thought of something.
When Xie Xingqian graduated, she was also graduating, because of Qi Sili's birthday, she once posted a photo in the circle of friends, which led to the misunderstanding of Chen Jinghuan and others.
That misunderstanding......
Xie Xingqi is also on the list, does he think that way?
As soon as this thought came to mind, Jiang Jianyue actually had a feeling that it was too ridiculous.
Why did she forget about it!
Therefore, she never dared to mention it, and deliberately ignored that the white moonlight that existed in Xie Xingqi's heart was very likely to be herself, from beginning to end?
Jiang Jianyue seemed to be stung by this thought and bounced up from the bed.
The sound of water in the bathroom stopped, and there was silence all around.
She didn't look at the conversation anymore, and looked up at the man who was coming out of the bathroom.
Xie Xingqian wiped his hair, sat on the edge of the bed and turned to look at her, "What are you doing?" β
Jiang Jianyue's eyes were hooked: "I chatted with my college classmates for a while, and I remembered the days when I used to study at OUHK." β
"What's memorable, tell me about it?"
Jiang Jianyue looked at Xie Xingqian tightly, "Yes, there are a lot of ......."
She said some unforgettable people and things, and suddenly mentioned: "There is also a ginkgo tree at the school gate, Zhou Baoyi and I used to like to take pictures there, but then I heard that less than two years after graduation, the municipal government replanned and removed the tree." β
Xie Xingqian slowly wiped his hair and said casually, "Huh? Removed? β
Jiang Jianyue immediately asked, "Have you ever been to OUHK?" β
Xie Xingqian showed a hint of surprise and denied with a smile: "How could I have been." β
Jiang Jianyue was unwilling: "Zhou Baoyi said that he seemed to have seen you at the OUHK, you really haven't been there?" β
Xie Xingqi: "I have been studying in Beijing, it should be that she admitted her mistake." β
Jiang Jianyue pursed her lips, not quite believing it in her heart.
Did he come back the year he graduated?
She suddenly glanced at Xie Xingqi's mobile phone on the bedside table.
"My phone is out of battery, can I use your phone to play games for a while?"
Xie Xingqian took the phone, unlocked it and handed it to her, "You play, I'll go dry my hair." β
Jiang Jianyue smiled, pretending to update the game, and then slowly leaned towards the other end of the bed, blocking his view.
Xie Xingqian glanced at her.
He didn't have any secrets on his phone that he couldn't read, so he got up again and went to blow his hair.
When she heard the sound of the hair dryer, Jiang Jianyue's heart also pounded.
She quickly browsed the APP on her phone, thought about it, and clicked into the blue payment software.
Here you can find out where most of the money flows for online transactions, as long as you have the exact time.
Jiang Jianyue stabilized her mind, found the bill, and chose the time period of June 2018.
She swiped quickly through a long list of income and expenditure breakdowns that popped up, and soon, on June 28 and 30, she found the money she had spent on train tickets.
So, on June 29, the day of her graduation ceremony, Xie Xingqian really came?
Hurried to come, hurried away, only to stop briefly under that ginkgo tree.
What is he here for?
Why exactly that day?
Jiang Jianyue held her mobile phone and didn't move, and her whole person fell into a dazed state of disbelief.
Immediately, her mind was like a rewind, and she quickly dialed back to the first day she lived in Xie Xingqi's house a few months ago.
On that hurried and ambiguous rainy night, Xie Xingqian looked at the old photos in the album, and with a smile and seriousness that she had not noticed, she whispered-
I've had a crush on Mrs. Xie since my freshman year of high school.
Jiang Jianyue's heart shook suddenly, put down her phone, rushed to the study, and took down the photo album from the top of the bookcase.
Then I kept flipping through it until I got the photo of the school sports meeting at the end.
The thin and tall Xie Xingqian turned his face halfway, as far as his eyes could see, as if he was really looking at her.
Afraid that it was her own delusion, she carefully pulled the photo out of the plastic sheet, and then, she saw the handwriting on the back of the photoβ
I'm waiting, waiting for her to turn back, waiting for her to love me.
Wait for the moon to fall towards the Milky Way.
ββ2012.11.17
It turns out that this is the "secret" in the study.
Jiang Jianyue turned his head, and tears rolled down like rain.
