The sun shines on the earth, and a new day comes.
Mu Yanzhu slept very late last night and got up early today.
She has to go to work.
In the bathroom, I was squinting in the mirror until the upper body of a wheat-colored man suddenly appeared in the mirror.
Mu Yanzhu was stunned.
The eyebrow pencil in his hand was taken away. Jiang Qingchi held her chin with one hand, leaned down to look at her level, and stroked her eyebrows gently.
"I really don't like your makeup, it doesn't look good."
His voice was clear and textured. When he woke up in the morning, his eyes no longer smelled like yesterday's alcohol, and were as clear as springs.
Mu Yanzhu looked into Jiang Qingchi's eyes.
"When did you wake up?"
"About five minutes ago."
"Do you remember what happened yesterday?"
"...remember seven or eight points."
"Well, it saves me having to explain to you."
"You should be lucky that I didn't recognize the wrong person even when I was drunk."
"You should be grateful that your brother carried you all the way here."
Jiang Qingchi smiled.
"My wife is very articulate."
Then he let go and handed over the eyebrow pencil. Mu Yanzhu looked at herself in the mirror.
Seeing his relaxed smile and free movements, I thought he would be very good-looking, but what on earth are these two earthworm-like eyebrows? !
"Did you do this on purpose?"
"No, I think it looks good like this." Jiang Qingchi's eyes and expression were quite innocent.
"...You did it on purpose."
Mu Yanzhu wanted to erase it and redraw it, but when she looked at her watch, she ran out of time. "Forget it, I'll redraw it on the way."
"I'll drive you to the magazine."
"Where did you get your car?"
"That's right. I forgot. Then I'll go with you and have breakfast with you."
“…”
Mu Yanzhu just let him go.
She was in a hurry, and the subway in the morning was usually crowded.
As soon as I walked out, I was attracted by a group squatting on the ground.
Chu Xiangchen looked at Mu Yanzhu pitifully like an abandoned puppy.
"elder sister."
Mu Yanzhu was startled and her eyes widened, "Why are you here?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Qingchi had already come out of the entrance hall.
The man was upright and energetic, wearing clothes different from those he wore last night.
Chu Xiangchen's eyes were red.
He remembered that the last time he was caught in the rain, he was lucky enough to enter Mu Yanzhu's house. She found a pair of clean clothes for him, and he asked her why there were men's clothes in the house.
She replied that she always expected him to move in.
She was like the mistress of the house, waiting for the man of the house, who was never him.
Chu Xiangchen's legs, which had been numb for a long time, had no feeling at all. He stood up against the wall.
"I squatted in front of my sister's house all night."
"What?!"
"Because I saw him coming yesterday, and I also saw my sister bringing him into the house. I wanted to know when he would leave my sister's house, so I waited and waited all night."
Mu Yanzhu's heart twitched, her lips pursed slightly, and she wanted to explain, but Jiang Qingchi took the first step and hugged her waist.
He looked over arrogantly, his eyes filled with arrogance and dominance.
"What's wrong with me sleeping with my wife? Am I breaking the law or disturbing the public? Don't play the sympathy card here. There once was a person who pretended to be innocent like you. In the end, his end was tragic. I told you a long time ago that she is mine. You Do not move."
“…”
Chu Xiangchen ignored Jiang Qingchi, he just looked at Mu Yanzhu stubbornly.
He was just waiting for an explanation from Mu Yanzhu.
Mu Yanzhu sighed and said, "We are back together."
He had expected this result for a long time, but when he heard these words coming out of her mouth, Chu Xiangchen's heart still hurt.
He lowered his head and saw the ring on Mu Yanzhu's ring finger, which was the same style as the one on Jiang Qingchi's ring finger.
This symbol is bright and direct, unscrupulously mocking his current clown-like behavior.
Chu Xiangchen took a deep breath, his tears did not fall, and he tried his best to smile at Mu Yanzhu.
"I promised my sister that as long as she gets back together with him, I will stay away from her and never bother her again. I will do what I say. No one will ever bring milk to my sister in the morning again. She must remember to eat breakfast. , no one gave my sister roses at noon, no one took the subway with her in the evening, and no one said good night to her."
Speaking of which, it felt like a lump in my throat.
Chu Xiangchen swallowed hard, holding back the tears that were about to fall.
"Sister, remember to take care of yourself. Sister has a beautiful smile. It is very tiring for a girl to always keep calm. Sister can not be such a big woman, and sister can also rely on her significant other."
"Are you done?"
Jiang Qingchi couldn't listen anymore.
Chu Xiangchen nodded and finally aimed his eyes at Jiang Qingchi.
"I hope you will take good care of her, never make her sad again, and never abandon her again. No matter what the reason was for your breakup three years ago, she loves you very much, but don't rely on her love for you. Consume her feelings for you, thank you.”
After saying that, Chu Xiangchen turned around and left.
Mu Yanzhu felt a little sad. She didn't like Chu Xiangchen, she just felt sad for his efforts.
I told him countless times that there was no result, no future, no possibility.
Why are you so stupid to like an impossible person
Knowing that this will definitely be the result in the end, we still foolishly persist to the end, and then get a heart-wrenching result.
Jiang Qingchi pretended to be relaxed and rubbed Mu Yanzhu's shoulders, "Let's go, don't look at him."
"Um."
Mu Yanzhu was in a bad mood.
How could Jiang Qingchi not see it? He entered the elevator, hugged her shoulders, leaned over and looked at her, a little worried, "Don't like him, not even a little bit."
"Let me tell you first of all, Chu Xiangchen is different from Xie Zijun. He is a very simple child."
"Then what?" Jiang Qingchi's heart clenched subconsciously.
Mu Yanzhu's voice was calm, "Then it's nothing. I don't like him, so I won't give him any response."
"Well, that's right, this is my good wife."
Jiang Qingchi hugged Mu Yanzhu and became intimate with her. Seeing that she was indifferent, he let go of her in frustration.
"You just said it yourself, we got back together."
"This statement is false."
"Hey, I'm serious!"
"Then show your sincerity."
Mu Yanzhu was very determined and looked at him seriously.
How could he be the only one who felt uneasy yesterday
The temptation is because I care, the drunkenness is because I want to be close to you.
She understands it all.
But they are no longer the young girl and boy they were three years ago.
Both of them have careers and goals, and they have the calmness and maturity that have been settled by time.
So Mu Yanzhu also thought that if he wanted to start over, it would be inappropriate to be too hasty.
Once she decides to give her heart over again, it will be for the rest of her life.
That is, I really recognize you, you can't let go of me, and you can't lose your temper anymore.
Jiang Qingchi nodded solemnly.
"Sincerity, right? As long as I show my sincerity, will you marry me?"
"Why did you jump so fast? We are talking about getting back together."
"I don't care, answer me, will you marry me if I show my sincerity?" Jiang Qingchi said aggressively.
"..." Mu Yanzhu expressed helplessness at his bandit logic, "You still like to take things out of context."
"This is not called taking things out of context, this is called knowing the true path of Lao Jiang."
"Please, it's the old horse who knows the way."
"Lao Ma? You still dare to mention Lao Ma? Are you tired of living?"
Mu Yanzhu was stunned.
What happened to Lao Ma
Something suddenly occurred to me, Ma Yan, should I call you Ma Yan
Seeing Jiang Qingchi's gang spirit online again, Mu Yanzhu couldn't help but laugh.
"Okay, okay, it's Lao Jiang who knows the way. Lao Jiang knows the way, right?"
"That's pretty much it."
Seeing her smile, Jiang Qingchi felt satisfied and proud.
Satisfied, she was willing to smile for him again and let him see his chance and his tomorrow.
The proud thing is that the only person in the world who can make her laugh is Jiang Qingchi.
As for that Chu Xiangchen
There's no way, feelings are like this -
He is destined to be defeated by his own men.
…
Chu Xiangchen left Mu Yanzhu's apartment and walked on the road, and finally couldn't help crying.
Pedestrians on the roadside were looking at him, but he didn't want to. He also wanted to hold on until he got home and then stand on his head and cry, but he couldn't help it. It was too painful. It felt as if his heart was exploding. It turns out that not being able to love is so painful. thing.
Thinking of the ring on her hand, the words she said, the light in her eyes and the tenderness on her face when she looked at Jiang Qingchi...
The jungle was like an axe, cruelly splitting Chu Xiangchen's heart.
Why not him
Why would she choose someone he felt was unworthy.
Chu Xiangchen cried so much that he hiccupped. He had forgotten that he was a live broadcast blogger and his dignity and glory. At this moment, he was just a boy who was suffering from not being loved!
A white handkerchief was stretched out in front of him.
Chu Xiangchen sniffed and looked over in confusion.
He couldn't describe the boy in front of him, because one look was enough to amaze him.
He was in the prime of his life, with a slender and well-proportioned figure, handsome and graceful, and his eyes were as calm as water. He raised his hands slightly, and he had a temperament and demeanor like the moonlight filling his sleeves.
Chu Xiangchen pursed his lips, "Who are you?"
Why does this person look about the same age as him, but his temperament is so much higher than his
The other party's attitude was respectful: "My surname is Jiang and my courtesy name is Jingming. I am Jiang Qingchi's brother."
Upon hearing the second half of the sentence, Chu Xiangchen's face immediately fell.
"I don't need you Jiang family to sympathize with me."
"It's not sympathy, you can think of it as comfort."
"There's no need to comfort me."
"Can I treat you to dinner? It looks like you haven't had breakfast."
"I have already eaten!"
…Gurgling.
His stomach slapped Chu Xiangchen in the face loudly.
Jiang Jingming didn't smile. He kept passing the handkerchief, very polite and gentleman.
Chu Xiangchen finally took the handkerchief and snorted, "You are a boy, do you still wipe your tears with a handkerchief?"
"I bought it now because I think your tears are precious."
Damn it!
Is this really Jiang Qingchi's brother
Why do you speak so beautifully
Chu Xiangchen coughed twice, "Then treat me to a meal. I'm hungry."
…
Ten minutes later, the palace was cleared.
This is a high-end official cuisine restaurant in Licheng.
The waiter served a table full of dishes, ranging from soups to royal dishes, such as shark's fin and bird's nest, hydrangeas and scallops, golden beef tenderloin, bergamot golden rolls, eight-treasure pheasant, etc., a total of twenty-six dishes.
Chu Xiangchen was not an inexperienced person. He didn't move his chopsticks immediately, his eyelids were closed, "Why are you ordering so much? We can't eat it for the two of us."
"Since you are a guest, how could I treat a guest badly? It is only right to order these, and it is not an exaggeration to have a full banquet."
"Are you compensating me for your brother?"
"If this understanding can make you feel better, you can think so." Jiang Jingming's voice was light but gentle.
This tenderness is unreal.
Because you can't tell whether his gentleness is true or not.
He seemed to be so gentle to everyone, as if he were just going through the motions, emotionless, but also deadly.
No one can resist a boy's gentleness and elegance.
Especially this boy has a good skin.
Chu Xiangchen felt that his hostility towards Jiang Jingming was no longer so serious.
He started to use his chopsticks and picked up a piece of glutinous rice cake, which melted in his mouth.
"Actually, your brother hasn't been sorry to me. Except for the last time he almost shot me to death at the archery range, which was a bit rude, the rest of the time, I didn't have much interaction with him. I just hate-"
Speaking of this, Chu Xiangchen's anger rose again.
"Why do you hate him? Why can you get so much so easily?!"
"He has a polite brother like you and Sister Yanzhu's love for him. He is so lucky. He doesn't seem to have to worry about anything. Anyway, everything he wants will never go away!"
"Not like me! When I like someone, I always worry about gains and losses!"
—
"How do you know he doesn't worry about gains and losses?"
Jiang Jingming's voice was still gentle.
"You don't know him well, how do you know that he has never cried, regretted, or suffered in these three years?"
“…”
"He is not that lucky, but you think he is lucky. But you are right, he has not suffered much. Growing up, whatever he wants will come to him, and whatever he doesn't want, he will be cruel Abandonment, without mercy, this is his joy, and it is also what makes people hate him, because in the past, he could not understand the heartache of others after they lose someone."
Hearing this, Chu Xiangchen snorted, "So you mean, in the three years since he and Sister Yanzhu broke up, he finally realized it?"
"It is true that it is not easy for him to experience this kind of emotion."
"...You are his younger brother, so of course you speak good words for him."
"It's natural. My surname is Jiang. Of course I want to speak for the Jiang family. This is also my selfish reason for looking for you."
Speaking of this, Jiang Jingming paused.
"I have no sympathy for you, and this meal is not compensation. I will not comment on your feelings, nor will I get involved. I just want you to understand one thing."
"What?"
"Everything is fate, nothing is up to you."
Jiang Jingming deliberately wanted to distract from the conversation.
"God has decided that the time when you meet is destined to be wrong, so no matter how much you work, the result will be the same. Sooner or later, some kind of turning point may happen, but it happens to be when he comes back, so you say, yes Not life?"
"yes."
Although Chu Xiangchen didn't want to admit this fact.
He lowered his eyes and heard Jiang Jingming's voice in front of him again.
"You are also lucky. Maybe you lived too happily in your last life, so God allowed you to go through pain in this life. And he must have lived too miserable in his previous life. God gave him a good brother like me in this life. And a girl who loves him to the core.”
"…Although your comfort was terrible, you still comforted me."
Chu Xiangchen raised the milk in his hand and replaced the wine with milk.
"Come on, cheers, I'm determined to be your friend!"
“…”
Jiang Jingming substituted tea for wine and clinked glasses with him.
*
After eating and drinking, Chu Xiangchen felt less depressed, and quickly said goodbye to Jiang Jingming and left.
Seeing him leaving, Jiang Chunhe at the next table sat across from Jiang Jingming.
"Why are you so good at talking, one thing after another."
Jiang Saner smiled, her words seeming to be true but not false, "Dad taught me this last night."
"Hehe, dad will always be my favorite and most admired man, bar none!"
In Yan Nian's absence, Jiang Chunhe boldly expressed his love and admiration for Jiang Beiyuan.
Jiang Jingming did not refute her, raised his wrist and looked at his watch, "Sister, we should go back."
"Okay, that's true, brother, why does she need you to repay her love debt to him?"
"Maybe... I was his lover in my previous life?"
"Hahaha!"
A joke made Jiang Chunhe laugh.
The little girl put on her peaked cap, then took Jiang Jingming's arm and walked away with a playful smile.
…
The entrance of Jianghe Magazine.
Jiang Qingchi held his pocket with one hand and stood next to Mu Yanzhu. When she waved to say goodbye to him, in front of the employees coming and going, he clasped the back of her head without saying a word and gave her a passionate kiss.
He had already expected that she would want to push him away, so he clamped her wrists, wrapped her hands and put them in his arms.
Finally let go of her.
Eyes facing each other.
"I am sober now, not drunk, and not joking. I am telling you this very seriously."
"What's up?"
"I was thinking along the way, why did God let me meet you? Maybe he wanted to tell me that you are destined to be mine."
"??"
"When I see that boy Chu Xiangchen, I will think of myself in the past, the naughty, willful, self-righteous Jiang Qingchi."
"You are also very self-righteous now."
Otherwise, how could you fake death
This is obviously self-righteous.
Jiang Qingchi frowned slightly, "Jiang Yan, I really am not kidding you."
"Then tell me quickly, I have to go to a meeting."
—
"You asked me why I came to you after three years. It's because I want to make myself stronger and give you time to develop."
"If I had come to you early, to a large extent, you would not have reached the height you want."
"I admit that you are very self-disciplined, but I also admit that if I were here, I would definitely distract you, because I can't help but cling to you and disturb you."
"So in three years, I was settling, and so were you."
"This period of time is just right. We all treat each other as if they don't exist, endure the pain and get better."
"Then three years later, Jiang Qingchi stood in front of the outstanding Mu Yanzhu and told you that you don't need to be so tired anymore. With me here, I will finally give you a home."
Mu Yanzhu's eyes twitched slightly.
I heard him say again:
"I don't regret not looking for you for three years."
"This doesn't mean I don't love you, I just don't regret it. These three years were not wasted."
"I tried it out, so I understood your deep love for me, and my deep love for you, I have expressed to you countless times -"
"I love you."
"Jiang He loves his Jiang Yan very much."
…
After saying these words, Jiang Qingchi knelt down on one knee in front of Mu Yanzhu.
He conjured another ring out of nowhere, a sparkling diamond ring that was dazzling.
Jiang Qingchi raised his head and looked into her eyes, and spoke carefully:
"There is something I have been preparing for a long time, and I want to say -"
"I, Jiang Qingchi, am willing to speak out the Jiang family's words to make the two surnames happy."
"Ms. Mu Yanzhu, please promise me."
