When Jiang Ying and Yun Xian were staring at each other, Shen Xuan interrupted: "Jiang Ying, what did you say?"
Jiang Ying regained his senses, realized what he had just said nonsense, and quickly remedied: "Ah, it's like this, I have a wedding to attend, so..."
Yunxian followed her words and asked, "So you're looking for a boyfriend who goes through the motions?"
Jiang Yingyi clapped his hands: "Yes!"
When a new customer came to the store, Yun Xian said "wait a moment" to Jiang Ying and turned back to the front desk.
Shen Xuan propped his chin, and his eyes wandered over Jiang Ying and Yun Xian. She stirred the drink in the cup, and the lactic acid bacteria added lemon. It was refreshing and sour, which was very suitable for her taste during pregnancy, and it also resembled the delicate atmosphere between the two at this time.
Jiang Ying lowered her head, looked sullen, glared at Shen Xuan, and complained, "It's all you, I'm not ready to ask him to do anything suddenly."
Shen Xuan smiled and looked at Yun Xian: "Do you think Xiang Qin will agree?"
Jiang Ying snorted: "Whoever has enough to eat and has nothing to do will agree."
Shen Xuan's cell phone rang, and it was her husband who called.
"I'm going out to answer the phone."
Jiang Ying told her: "Be careful, don't go too far."
On the other side, Yun Xian called out Su Cheng from the back kitchen, and then gave Jiang Ying a look to signal her to go to the door.
Jiang Ying nodded, picked up his bag and followed his pace.
Yunxian took her to the car parked in the backyard.
The compartment is narrow and private, and the seats are separated from each other, and there is no need to face each other, which is very suitable for conversation.
Jiang Ying doesn't like too strong car perfume, nor does he like the smell of leather seats. Yun Xian's car didn't have either of these two odors, only a very faint scent of sweet citrus, as if emanating from him.
"Whose wedding is it?" Yun Xian asked first.
Jiang Ying didn't want to lie, but didn't tell the truth: "I'm a college classmate."
"Why do you want someone to accompany you?"
Jiang Ying grabbed the strap of her shoulder bag, and was silent for a while before saying, "I... At that time, my mind was pumping, and when it came time, I would definitely bring my boyfriend to bless me in person. As a result, they have moved the wedding date earlier, and I haven't yet. Find a boyfriend. It was a class reunion that day, and many people were there, probably waiting for the wedding to watch the play."
Yun Xian asked, "So you want to find someone to help you deal with it?"
Jiang Ying nodded: "Do you think I'm naive, and Shen Xuan also scolds me for trying to save face and suffer."
Yunxian took out a tin box from the glove box and put it in his hand to open and close the lid.
Psychologically speaking, this is a manifestation of some anxiety and irritability.
"Then why don't you just push it away?"
Jiang Ying was still thinking about how to answer, Yun Xian asked again, "Is it your ex?"
His straightforward disclosure made Jiang Ying blushed: "Yes."
There was silence in the carriage, only the sound of the iron box opening and closing.
After a long time, Yunxian opened his lips and said lightly, "Okay, I'll accompany you."
Jiang Ying tilted his head to look at Yun Xian, his profile was smooth, like a finely crafted work of art, sharp and edgy. In fact, his facial features are also tough, but his temperament is too mild on weekdays, so he seems to be easy to get along with his relatives.
Now his displeasure is all on his face, like a thick fog covering the person, who can't breathe.
Jiang Ying noticed his mood and said, "You don't have to force it."
"It's not reluctance." Yun Xian eased his tone a little, "Last time you helped me draw a picture, and I didn't have time to thank you, so just treat it as a courtesy, and I'll help you with this."
"Reciprocity..." Jiang Ying chewed these four words and nodded thoughtfully, "Okay, then treat it as a reciprocal exchange."
After Jiang Ying got out of the car, he saw Shen Xuan who had finished the phone call under the peach tree.
Seeing that her reaction was wrong, Shen Xuan asked, "What's wrong? Xiang Qin doesn't want to?"
Jiang Ying shook his head: "No, he said yes, but why do I think..." Jiang Ying recalled the expression and tone of Yun Xian in the car just now, trying to find an adjective, "He seems to be angry?"
Shen Xuan tucked the wind-disturbed hair behind his ear: "Why is he angry?"
Jiang Ying tilted her head suspiciously: "Yes, why is he angry?"
The breeze was blowing, and the spring flowers swayed and fell from the branches. The pink and white petals fell on Jiang Ying's shoulders, covering the bright red rose tattoo.
Shen Xuan took off the petals for her, put them in her palm, and walked to the street holding her: "Don't think about it so much, Xiangqin promises not to do it, let's go, don't waste the good spring."
Jiang Ying pulled Shen Xuan to control her speed: "Go slower!"
In the car, Shen Xuan looked at the warm and delicate coffee hut from the rearview mirror and asked Jiang Ying, "You are looking for Xiangqin to be your fake boyfriend this time, so when will you let him turn into a positive person?"
Jiang Ying shook his head: "We haven't been at that time yet."
Shen Xuan laughed and twisted Jiang Ying's arm: "When? You are still enjoying the ambiguous period, right?"
Jiang Ying cried out in pain, "Then you say, when?"
Shen Xuan said: "Going to Shanghai this time is a good opportunity, you have to seize it."
Jiang Ying thought for a while, then nodded: "Yes, it's a good opportunity, then how do you say I'm going to confess? It's just expensive and vulgar."
Shen Xuan was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "You really like Xiangqin. I asked you to strengthen your relationship with others, so you are determined to confess?"
Jiang Ying frowned and asked, "Isn't that what you meant? Let me and him quickly turn to positive."
"I wanted the two of you to get better soon, but..." Shen Xuan paused, "I thought it was impossible for you to take the initiative in your whole life, to be honest, I had suspected you of being cold before. "
She added: "After all, when you and Lu Tingyang were getting along, you never showed your love to him outright. I thought you would always be used to being passive and accepting."
Jiang Ying lowered half of the car windows, the spring air was full of fragrant flowers.
In the past, in such a season of late spring and early summer, a boy walked up to her with joy and anticipation, holding a sincere heart.
The trees on the street outside the window flashed past, and her voice was blown away in the breeze: "I remember everything Lu Tingyang and I said, so, ah, don't dare to repeat the lessons learned."
—
It was already dark when Jiang Ying walked out of the office building, and it was raining lightly.
Seeing the silver-white car, she put one hand in front of her forehead and trotted over.
"Why didn't you bring an umbrella?" When Jiang Ying sat on the co-pilot, Yun Xian looked at her wet hair and took out a few pieces of paper and handed it over.
Jiang greeted it and wiped it randomly: "Forget it, it's alright, just light rain."
During the rainy season of Huangmei, the tide swept across the cities in the south of the Yangtze River, and the world was hot and humid.
Yun Xian told her: "There will be rain next week, don't forget it again."
Jiang Ying nodded obediently.
They will set off for Shanghai in two days, and plan to go out to buy wedding dresses today.
A few days ago, Yunxian asked her for her opinion and wanted to prepare a matching set for him according to the other party's dress.
Jiang Ying felt that after all, she was bothering others for help, and directly asked her to buy the clothes.
Yun Xian thought for a while, then nodded and agreed with her proposal, and asked to go shopping together today.
What Jiang Ying prepared for herself was a French dress with an orange pattern on a white background, a retro square collar, the length reaching the calf, and the slit design on the lower body added a bit of sexiness, laziness and elegance. He also bought a pair of 8 cm suede stiletto shoes.
The weather in May was already sultry, and the whole suit was too heavy. Jiang Ying thought of a shirt and trousers for Yun Xian. He was tall with long legs and a natural clothes rack, so it was very suitable for him to try it on just after entering a store.
Jiang Ying sat on the sofa, watching the two shop assistants laughing and whispering, and stroked their hair unnaturally.
Yun Xian came out of the fitting room, tidied up the buttons, turned around and asked Jiang Ying, "What do you think?"
"Very good, it suits you very well."
The clerk on the side said: "Beauty, your boyfriend is so handsome, he looks good in anything."
Yun Xian smiled and nodded at her, then looked at Jiang Ying: "I want to ask, do you think it matches your dress?"
Before Jiang Ying could speak, she heard the two shop assistants excitedly grabbing their hands and exclaiming, "Oh my God, it's so sweet!"
Jiang Ying and Yun Xian looked at each other, the latter shrugged helplessly.
"Just this one."
"Row."
Yunxian went back to the fitting room to change clothes, and Jiang Ying went to the front desk to pay the bill.
When checking out, the clerk said to her enviously, "It's the first time I saw my boyfriend shopping with my boyfriend. You two have a good relationship."
Jiang Ying only smiled.
It was solved in less than half an hour, and when he walked out of the men's clothing store, Yun Xian asked Jiang Ying if he was hungry.
Jiang Ying shook his head: "I have lost weight recently and skipped dinner."
Yun Xian raised the corner of his mouth shallowly and teased her: "I only know that the bride needs to diet and lose weight before the wedding."
Jiang Ying asked him back, "Who doesn't dress up nicely when they meet with their ex?"
Yun Xian's footsteps stopped: "Is that so, I'm sorry, I don't have an ex, I don't know."
Jiang Ying widened her eyes and muttered, "No way?"
Yun Xian stepped forward again and stopped at the door of a porridge shop: "Can you drink porridge?"
Jiang Ying seemed to have learned some great secret, and couldn't help but ask him, "Why? You don't have an ex?"
Yun Xian glanced at her lightly, stepped into the shop door, and found a seat by the window to sit down: "Puppy love was strictly forbidden at home during the student days, and then I was so busy that I didn't have time to think about it."
Jiang Ying nodded and said sourly, "There are many people chasing you."
Yun Xian sketched a few items on the menu and handed Jiang Ying the paper and pen: "To be honest, no."
Jiang Ying looked incredulous: "How is it possible?"
Yun Xian poured a cup of tea and said slowly, "Fourth and six in the freshman exam, the sophomore student union, I learned a few foreign languages in my junior year, and then went to graduate school, internship, and work. I leave it for social networking. I don’t have much time, and I don’t have the heart to manage a relationship.”
Jiang Ying asked tentatively, "Have you ever met someone you like? Just missed it?"
Yun Xian looked up at her: "When I was in school, there was one. She was my deskmate. She was an excellent girl."
Jiang Ying took a sip of tea and felt sour in her heart: "Oh, your white moonlight."
Yun Xian smiled and said, "What moonlight is Bai, all the children have been born."
Jiang Ying breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Yun Xian, only to feel that she knew too little about the man in front of her.
She said: "I thought you were the kind of person who was very free-spirited."
—Growing up in a wealthy and enlightened family, with a pair of gentle and kind parents, he likes reading books and movies in his spare time.
Romantic, mature, stable, easy-going, financial freedom, time freedom.
Yun Xian took her words with a smile: "But I didn't expect that I'm also a social animal?"
Jiang Ying raised the corner of her mouth: "At least I am envious of your current living condition."
Yun Xian's smile was shallow, a kind of indifference settled after many things: "Don't envy me, you will always be what you want."
He put down the teacup, leaned back in the chair and looked out the window, pedestrians came and went, either in groups or alone.
"Before I came to Xicheng, someone asked me why I was in such a hurry to get out of my comfort zone. Didn't you work hard for a few years just to live your life now?" Yun Xian put his hands on his lapped legs, his tone was gentle and expensive Calm again.
"A stable job, having a house and a car, and getting married and starting a family at the right age may be an ideal life for many people, but that's not the comfort zone I want. I've been living step by step for 30 years, and I don't know. What's wrong, I suddenly wanted to rebel, quit my job, packed my luggage, and when I got to the airport, I didn't even know where to go. I came to Xicheng because my good friend from college was here, and I just wanted to relax. , also opened a coffee shop on a whim.”
Jiang Ying heard the clue in his words and asked, "So Yunbian is just your attempt?"
Yun Xian nodded: "It's an unexpected joy, I'm very satisfied with the current state of life."
Jiang Ying's heart tightened, and she asked cautiously, "So when you feel bored, you will go to the next place? Don't you want to settle in Xicheng?"
The restaurant was dimly lit, the casserole porridge was hot, and Jiang Ying couldn't tell the emotion in his eyes through a layer of water mist.
The corner of Yun Xian's mouth kept a simple smile: "Maybe, see if there is any reason for me to stay."
Jiang Ying asked, "Isn't the cloud edge counted?"
Yun Xian shook his head: "I just wanted to have fun. After a few years, the business will fail and I will sell it."
Jiang Ying frowned, obviously it wasn't an immediate matter, but she still felt soreness in her heart because Yun Xian could brush off her clothes anytime, anywhere.
She lamely tried to keep it: "Xicheng is surrounded by mountains and rivers, the air is good, and it is very suitable for settlement."
The clerk took the new customers to their seats, and various voices in the restaurant were mixed together. Jiang Ying heard Yun Xian let out a short chuckle.
"If you marry a Xicheng girl, you might have to stay."
What he said was half-joking and half-serious, his eyes fell straight on her, with a bit of subtle temptation.
The hot air on the dining table made Jiang Ying blushed.
The author has something to say: Jiang Ying, he is insinuating you like crazy.
