"What are you calling me?"

"Madam, isn't that what it is used for?"

Jiang Ying took a sigh of relief, looked away, and said calmly, "Yes, that's how you use it, you're so smart."

Seeing Yunxian parked the car in the service area, Jiang Ying asked, "Do you want to get out of the car and smoke a cigarette?"

"I don't smoke. Do you want to?"

Remembering that it seemed that Yun Xian had never seen a cigarette, Jiang Ying shook his head: "No, I'm quitting."

Yun Xian suggested: "Then get out of the car and do some activities. We sat all the way."

Jiang Ying agreed.

Jiang Ying entered the bathroom in the service area, Yun Xian bought a cup of Oden outside, and when Jiang Ying came out, he handed the cup to her.

"Actually, I'm not hungry." Jiang Ying was holding the warm Oden, the sweet and sour flavor of the tomato sauce ran through her nose. A sandwich was half full at best, but she didn't want Yun Hyun to think she could eat it.

Yun Xian pursed her lips and glanced at her, as if she couldn't bear to tell her the truth: "I bought it for myself, I'm hungry. Please help me get it first."

After he finished speaking, he opened the car door and got into the car. Jiang Ying was sluggish in place for a few seconds, secretly scolding himself for being selfish, and slowly climbed into the car despite the embarrassment.

Back in the car, Jiang Ying sat upright with the cup of Oden, like a car mascot.

Yun Xian took a bunch of Arctic wings, bit it into his mouth gently, and started the car to start the road again while chewing it carefully.

The vehicles on the elevated road kept moving forward. Jiang Ying felt that the cup of Oden would be cold if she didn't eat it, so she took a bunch of fish balls and handed it to Yun Xian's mouth.

Yun Xian lowered his head and glanced at the fish ball in front of him, then quickly looked forward again, and moved his head slightly forward to take a ball.

Seeing that he had finished chewing, Jiang Ying handed over the wooden sign again.

After all the fish balls were eaten, Yun Xian laughed and joked: "This is the first time I feel that there is someone next to the car so nice that I can feed them when I'm hungry."

Jiang Ying continued to take a bunch of sweet and spicy: "Yes, I can still chat with you."

Yun Xian said no after eating two skewers, and Jiang Ying happily contracted the remaining food on the principle of not wasting food.

"Jiang Ying." Yun Xian suddenly called her, "There is water in the back seat, help me get it."

"Oh, good." Jiang Ying stretched out her arms to reach for the mineral water bottle, twisted the bottle cap and carefully handed it to his mouth.

Yun Hyun raised his head slightly to match her movements. Without a good grasp of the angle, Jiang Ying lifted it a little high, the water flowed down Yun Xian's lips, and it was about to drip from his chin, Jiang Ying subconsciously wiped it with the back of his hand.

This action did not go through the brain at all, and when the skin on the back of the hand touched Yun Xian's lower lip, Jiang Ying retracted his hand as if he was scalded.

She cleared her throat and sat up straight again. There was still a water stain on the back of her left hand, Jiang Ying didn't dare to touch it, and she didn't know what to do.

Yunxian took a napkin from the glove box and handed it to her.

Jiang greeted him and said, "Thank you."

When the paper towel was covering it, Jiang Ying suddenly remembered the soft touch just now.

There seemed to be small bugs crawling on the back of the left hand, it was itchy, she wiped it randomly, and put the tissue in the palm of her hand.

Those who are interested, hooligans also.

Jiang Ying shook her head vigorously, as if to drive out all the images that appeared in her mind.

All the way to the hotel they booked in Shanghai, it was almost seven o'clock in the evening. First go back to their respective rooms to put their luggage and rest for a while. Jiang Ying took Yun Xian to eat at a grilled fish restaurant she used to go to during college.

After a long time, Jiang Ying's stomach was opened as soon as she entered the store and smelled the fragrance. After the dishes were served, she took one bite after another, and her chopsticks couldn't stop at all.

Yun Xian picked up the fishbone in the bowl and asked her, "Didn't you say you want to lose weight?"

Jiang Ying took a chopstick of cold kelp: "I'll walk around the hotel twice, I can digest it."

Yun Xian smiled and put the fish picked from the plate in front of her: "I'm not fat, eat more."

After eating and drinking, Jiang Ying touched his lower abdomen and suggested, "Would you like to go for a walk by the river? It's quite close to here."

Before Yun Xian could speak, she refuted herself again: "Forget it, don't go."

Yunxian asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's okay, let's go back, I'm a little tired." Jiang Ying looked disinterested.

Yun Xian said nothing, picked up the water glass on the table and took a sip.

If it were any other day, Jiang Ying wouldn't be so upset.

Tomorrow is Lu Tingyang's birthday, and it is also his wedding day.

Six years ago, Lu Tingyang, who was still in his junior year, invited Jiang Ying to the bank of the Huangpu River and said to her, "I come here to take a photo every year on my birthday."

At that time, Jiang Ying let out a "wow" and excitedly took out his mobile phone to take a picture of him.

In that year, Lu Tingyang retained a clean youthful air. He smiled and took Jiang Ying's mobile phone, put his arms around the girl's shoulders, raised his arms and aimed the viewfinder at the two of them.

The moment he pressed the shooting button, Lu Tingyang lowered his head and kissed Jiang Ying's side face.

Although Jiang Ying felt ashamed, the photo was eventually washed out by Lu Tingyang and posted on the cabinet in his dormitory.

Since then it has been a logical thing to be together.

But just like Lu Tingyang's accusation against her when they broke up - from the beginning, he was constantly moving forward and taking ninety-nine steps bravely, but Jiang Ying always stood there, waiting to accept his kindness.

They will get tired and tired after a long time, they are not suitable lovers.

Jiang Ying doesn't quarrel, but is very good at screwing up a relationship.

When it was time to part, she kept silent, too calm.

Even when Lu Tingyang mocked her coldly, "A person like you is really not worthy of falling in love", Jiang Ying didn't say anything.

She only stopped Lu Tingyang when he was about to leave and asked him - "Do you like all of me, or just the part of me that you want to see?"

In the past so many years, the past has become a past that is no longer important, and I just sigh when I think of it.

Later, Jiang Ying also reflected on herself and this relationship, she is indeed not a qualified lover.

Love is a thing that goes both ways, you can't always wait for others to come.

At this moment, she looked at the man sitting opposite her, gentle and steady, not arrogant or impetuous in anything she did, which was what she longed for and envied.

Remembering what Shen Xuan said, Jiang Ying tapped lightly with her fingers on the table.

If you like it, hold it tightly in your hand.

— Seems like it’s time to take a step toward him.

When they arrived at the hotel, Yun Xian and Jiang Ying said goodbye at the stairs and went back to their respective rooms.

The next day, Jiang Ying woke up early. She had insomnia last night. She only slept for two hours, and now there are two groups of dark greens and some edema. Gritting her teeth and drinking half a cup of black coffee, she frowned bitterly.

At ten o'clock, Jiang Ying packed up and went out of the room to the lobby on the first floor of the hotel.

Yun Xian was sitting on the sofa waiting for her, with a glass of iced Americana in front of her. When Jiang Ying walked over, he just raised his head.

Yun Xian stood up and waved to her. With a long body and a jade stand, it is easy to become the focus of the crowd. He was wearing a crisp white shirt, tucked into light-colored trousers, with a narrow waist and long legs, and a pair of clean white casual shoes on his feet, casual and handsome.

Jiang Ying walked up to him, wearing high heels today, she could almost reach his nose.

Yun Xian raised his arm slightly towards her, and Jiang Ying pulled it.

"Let's go."

Today is a rare sunny day. The sun breaks through the clouds, and the world is full of golden light. The sound of cicadas chirped, the early summer wind blew through the long street and pedestrians, the girl's hair was fluttering, and the skirt swayed.

The wedding was held outdoors. Jiang Ying took out the wedding invitation, registered the gift at the front desk, and followed the staff's instructions to go inside.

Lu Tingyang didn't accept her money, so she asked Shen Xuan's husband to prepare a bottle of fine wine as a wedding gift.

The wine was expensive, and before coming, Shen Xuan urged her and Yun Xian to remember to choose the expensive ones.

Dining is buffet style, and a banquet room is arranged to entertain guests. When the wedding is about to start, the waiting guests are in groups of three or five, some chatting and reminiscing about the past, and some lingering on the food on the table.

Jiang Ying and a five- or six-year-old girl competed in the dessert area, and there was the last bowl of strawberry ice cream on the plate, but obviously they all wanted it, and they had to.

Naturally, a little girl couldn't grab Jiang Ying. When she saw the ice cream in someone else's hands, she made a wow gesture and was about to cry. Jiang Ying wouldn't really bully her, so he gave her the ice cream in his hand when he had done enough tricks. The little girl changed her face instantly, scooped the ice cream and ran away.

Yun Xian stood quietly and watched the whole process. He put a big hand on Jiang Ying's head and rubbed it. He asked, "Why are you like a child?"

Jiang Ying smiled at him, pointed to the little girl who ran away and said, "This is sister Lu Tingyang's daughter. I went to the hospital to see her when she was just born. She has grown so big."

Yun Xian drank the tea in the cup, his eyes dimmed and he didn't answer.

The biggest advantage of self-help is that you don't have to sit at the same table with people you don't know or know. Jiang Ying, Lu Tingyang's relatives and friends, doesn't know much. He only greeted his roommates hastily and didn't say anything.

At 12:18, the wedding finally started.

Yun Xian and Jiang Ying took the seats in the last row and sat down.

The most dazzling wedding is always the newlyweds. Cheers and applause sounded. Among the petals falling from the sky, the beautiful bride in a white wedding dress took her father and walked towards the groom.

Then there is the oath, the exchange of rings, and the affectionate kiss in the sound of everyone's blessings.

Across the crowd, Jiang Ying looked at the well-matched couple from a distance.

Yun Xian looked at her for a while, and asked in a low voice, "Is it difficult to calm down?"

Jiang Ying asked back, "How is that possible?"

The wedding was still going on, and they whispered outside the lively crowd.

"When I was with him, I was very naive. He likes to be well-behaved, clingy, and coquettish, while I have a bohemian soul." When Jiang Ying said this, her tone was calm and a little bit smile.

Yun Xian set his eyes on the bride, who was indeed sweet, thin and small.

Jiang Ying sighed lightly: "The personality is not suitable, separation is a natural thing, just a little emotional."

Yun Xian asked, "What are you feeling?"

Jiang Ying replied in a rarely so deep tone: "The ex, helped you grow, taught you how to love, and then it has nothing to do with you. The predecessors planted the trees, and the later generations enjoyed the shade. So, the time of meeting It's very important. There's a saying, the later you meet, the longer you love."

Yun Xian lowered his eyes and said softly, "Fortunately."

Jiang Ying didn't hear clearly, looked at him blankly and asked, "What did you say?"

Yun Xian met her gaze, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "It's nothing."

After the ceremony, they returned to the banquet room. The bride and groom took turns to toast to the guests. Only then did Jiang Ying really meet Lu Tingyang and his new wife.

He was wearing a neat suit and his hair was meticulously groomed with hairspray. He walked to Jiang Ying's table with his wife, looked at her, and both laughed.

Those past and entanglements are all relieved in this smile.

Holding a wine glass in one hand, Lu Tingyang introduced to his wife: "This is my school girl Jiang Ying. The game you like to play recently was made by their company."

The beautiful bride showed a surprised expression: "Really?"

Lu Tingyang said: "Of course, she is the chief planner."

Jiang Ying smiled and pulled Yun Xian: "This is my boyfriend, Yun Xian."

Yun Xian stretched out his hand and shook hands with Lu Tingyang, Lu Tingyang said "good luck to meet", Yun Xian replied "Happy wedding" to him.

The bride looked Yun Xian up and down, and excitedly took Jiang Ying's arm and said, "Your boyfriend's temperament is similar to Jian Ying's!"

Jiang Ying was stunned for a while, and admitted generously: "To be honest, the prototype is him."

If it weren't for the fact that there were still several tables waiting for a toast, it is estimated that these two women who had met lately would have had a good chat for a while.

When the bride and groom left, Yun Xian couldn't help but curiously asked Jiang Ying, "What did you just say?"

Jiang Ying stuffed a piece of spareribs into his mouth, and answered vaguely, "That's right, I used your image as a reference when designing the characters."

"Oh—" Yun Xian deliberately dragged the tail, "Then why didn't you tell me?"

Jiang Ying's swallowing movement choked.

How to say? At that time, you were so handsome that you were fascinated by you. Did you look like you in everything you painted

She continued nibbling on the ribs, replacing the answer with silence, but fortunately Yun Xian didn't plan to ask the truth.

It was almost three o'clock in the afternoon when he came out of the hotel. Jiang Ying asked Yun Xian if he wanted to go out for a walk, and Yun Xian readily agreed.

Jiang Ying has stayed in Shanghai for four years, and there are still many places she wants to go to when she comes back once.

They first went to Nanjing Road, where there are many snacks. Jiang Ying's high-heeled shoes were nothing at first, but after walking a long time, they found that their heels were too worn.

Yun Xian noticed her abnormality and helped her to sit down on the bench by the street.

A layer of skin had been frayed on the heel, oozing blood and burning pain.

Jiang Ying looked at the horrific wound and whispered, "If I had known it earlier, I wouldn't stink this beauty."

Sitting on a bench, watching the lively streets, and letting go of your brain is quite pleasant.

Just when Jiang Ying's thoughts were floating, Yun Xian suddenly said, "I want to confirm one thing."

She returned to her senses and asked in a daze: "What?"

The ringtone of the incoming call rang, and Jiang Ying was grabbed by someone as soon as she raised her mobile phone wrist.

"It's Xiangqin, that's right." After confirming, Yun Xian cut off the phone.

Jiang Ying stared at him and held the phone tightly in his arms, and said angrily, "Why are you like this?"

Yun Xian only asked, "Why did you make a note of this for me?"

With all the evidence and evidence, Jiang Ying couldn't think of any good reason for the rapid operation of her brain, so she just told the truth: "My surname is Jiang on Arbor Day's birthday, and Shen Xuan always likes to call me Jiang Zhishu Jiang Zhishu."

Thinking of something, Jiang Ying asked cautiously, "You should know who Jiang Zhishu is."

Yun Xian laughed angrily: "I'm not that old."

Jiang Ying continued speaking, her voice getting lower and lower: "I just made a random note for you when my brain twitched."

With the light behind her back, she could not see the expression on Yun Xian's face.

Nanjing Road is very lively, and the sun in late spring and early summer shines brightly on everything.

All kinds of shops are crowded with people, and fireworks are circulating in the world.

After a long while, Jiang Ying heard Yun Xian say, "All Xiangqin is straight, how about a kiss?"

The author has something to say: Soon.
