It is still so staid, so clumsy, so inconspicuous, but as long as you know its true value, you can't help but be deeply attracted by its low-key luxury.
Yang Chen noticed that Lin Ruoxi looked at her pocket watch in a daze, and asked with a smile, "Now, do you still want a diamond ring?"
Lin Ruoxi turned around and looked at him angrily. "Why are you so sour... I'm not a researcher of clocks and watches. I don't know that this old watch is so expensive. Patek Philippe's handwriting is so small. Well, if I knew that this watch is priceless, I wouldn’t just put it in my bag. You won’t explain to me, of course I thought you were just taking something to prevaricate me."
Yang Chen grumbled and said helplessly: "Didn't I tell you that it was grabbed from the FBI Director? You didn't listen to my explanation at all, so you went into the study and closed the door, what did you say? Wouldn't believe me, what can I do."
Lin Ruoxi thought that it was really the case, bit Hua’s lip, pursed her mouth stubbornly and said: “I don’t care, it’s your fault anyway! If you send me first, why would I not listen to your explanation? I was caught that day. You are so angry!"
Yang Chen couldn't help it with her, saying "OK" repeatedly, which made Lin Ruoxi smile happily with satisfaction.
Seeing Lin Ruoxi carefully took out two soft tissues to wrap the watch, as if it was necessary to keep it safe, Yang Chen smiled and said: "Don't be so troublesome. This watch is given to you as a toy. Put it in the bag on weekdays. In the bag, just look at the time and date, you don’t need to store it specially."
"Then how can it... Such an expensive thing, if I break it, those famous watch collectors don't hate me?" Lin Ruoxi frowned.
Yang Chen shook his head, "Take care of those things. This is a gift I gave you. Since it is given to you, you need to use it. The watch is for viewing, not an antique, but it is alive."
Lin Ruoxi suddenly remembered something. Although she was shy, she asked curiously: "What you said last time, you want to give me a gift... Is this the watch?"
Yang Chen hurriedly denied: "Don't be kidding, if the gift I mentioned is this watch, I don't need to prepare for so long, the gift is still being prepared... um... Anyway, I will let you see this year, so don't worry about my wife. Well, my words always count..."
Lin Ruoxi's heartbeat speeded up a bit, what kind of gift it was that had to be prepared for so long, it was hateful that the man didn't reveal the slightest noise at all, making her heart itch.
Suddenly, Yang Chen asked, "I'm not curious, why did you give you this watch?"
Lin Ruoxi shook her head blankly, "Is it because it's expensive?"
"There are more expensive things, and it's not that you don't have money. Why choose expensive ones" Yang Chen said with a light smile.
"Then why..."
The corner of Yang Chen's mouth was lightly raised, and he stretched out a right hand, and slowly placed it on Lin Ruoxi's left hand, gently holding it, while Lin Ruoxi's hand was holding the pocket watch.
Lin Ruoxi's delicate body shrank slightly, not knowing what the man was going to do.
"Although, this watch... is not so good-looking, even a little clumsy... But its core" has been beating since the moment it was born, even after nearly a hundred years, the appearance has become no longer glamorous, but the core Still the original appearance.
Even if another hundred years pass, let the vicissitudes of the world and the reincarnation of all things go. This watch is old, but its most precious'core' is beating as it is now, and it won’t go a bit differently... Just like the moment I gave the watch to you, it was the same... ”
The man's whispers are like a quiet river flowing in the car, with waves in the deep.
Lin Ruoxi's ears seemed to be reverberating, the regular and somewhat dull "ticking" sound of the pocket watch.
Unknowingly, Lin Ruoxi felt a little cool in her eyes. It was the air-conditioning wind blowing on the water that overflowed with tears, and she didn't even notice.
"I was touched when I said that? I'm not afraid that I was fooling you into your good words?" Yang Chen said jokingly.
Lin Ruoxi pursed her mouth, "Knowing that people are very simple about this kind of relationship, don't always say these things that make people cry. What if you can't sleep at night."
In the words, the icy shell of that suit was removed, and she looked like a little girl, just like her appearance when she was awkwardly acting like a baby.
Yang Chen couldn't help laughing and said, "Crying helps to channel the lacrimal glands and remove the dirt in the eyes..."
"You said I'm dirty!?" Lin Ruoxi glared at the man and asked.
Yang Chen coughed twice, "Uh... I mean, crying is good for other women to become clean, but for the baby Ruoxi, the eyes are exceptionally clean... Really, my wife, you don’t believe in looking in the mirror, your eyes are already It's so bright that it shines in the mirror!"
Lin Ruoxi listened to the absurd ingratiating explanation, and smiled, Ruo Xi's glamorous azaleas bloomed.
"Do you want to hear the story between me and that person?" Lin Ruoxi suddenly asked with a deep smile in her eyes.
Yang Chen wondered "Who?"
"Li Jianhe."
Yang Chen hesitated and asked, "Will you be sad if you tell that story?"
"No, it's just that you have the right to know." Lin Ruoxi's eyes were exceptionally gentle.
Yang Chen nodded, "It's fine if you don't feel sad, let's talk about it."
Lin Ruoxi recalled a little bit, "Actually, you may not be able to tell that Shen Yaxin was a close friend of mine when I was in college, um... Although not like Qianni and Yanyan, they grew up together, but it was also mine. Very close classmates. We go to class together, eat together in school, and go to graduate school together with Kreis.
At that time, Li Jianhe was already a very popular figure in the school. He originally studied at Cambridge University, but he came to China Overseas University to study marketing from Kreis.
The girls in the school like him. He is gentle and elegant, and has an excellent family background. More importantly, he is very talented and is valued by Kreis. He is appointed as a teaching assistant to help us graduate students.
It was at that time that he often came into contact with Yaxin and me. At first he only talked about subject research. Later, he would go shopping together and have afternoon tea together..."
Yang Chen smiled lightly: "It seems that your college life is actually very leisurely, at least much more comfortable than you are working dimly now."
Lin Ruoxi nodded in remembrance, and continued: "At that time, it was said in school that Li Jianhe liked me, otherwise he would not always be with me... In fact, I can see that Li Jianhe wanted me to be his girlfriend. , I occasionally talk about some sensitive topics, but I pretend not to understand.
However, he was really excellent at that time. In my heart, there were actually people who liked him silently. No one knew about this matter except for Shen Yaxin, the closest person in school..."
When Yang Chen heard this, he was already very uncomfortable, and muttered, "Secret love?"
"Yeah" Lin Ruoxi didn't deny it, lowered her head, and said, "I just love him secretly... I am very happy when I am obviously with him, but I dare not show it too much. I am worried, he just likes to study with me. The subject, even he likes Yaxin, not me.
For this uneasiness, I also asked Yaxin specifically, asking her who Li Jianhe likes among us. She told me that I must be the one who likes it, and she told me not to give up and try to confess as soon as possible...
Until one day, he suddenly told me that he was going back to the UK and asked if I would accompany him to the UK. It happened that at that time, my grandma was in very bad health and was on the hospital bed. How can I think about those things... Although I am a little shaken, because I know that is the best opportunity for me to tell him my emotions, but...
If I leave too, what will grandma do? Grandma was in the hospital bed and said to give Yu Lei to me, how could I bear to go against her wishes..."
"So you rejected him?"
"Yes" Lin Ruoxi said with a faint smile: "I secretly cried, because if it wasn't for my grandma to be seriously ill, I might be able to go to the UK with him, at least Yulei International would not need me to take care of it so early... But I was still hopeful at the time, because even if I can't be with him for the time being, at least he will have a chance if he goes to the UK if he continues to have contact.
It's just... I didn't expect that the girl he asked before he went to the UK... was not just me... ”
The atmosphere in the car is very comfortable, except for Lin Ruoxi’s clear voice, that is the dynamic mechanical sound of the engine...
Hearing this, Yang Chen no longer needs to listen anymore.
Needless to say, back then, Li Jianhe used to bargain prices for buying things and offered bid codes to Lin Ruoxi and Shen Yaxin at the same time. As a result, Lin Ruoxi just refused because of the old president's condition, and Shen Yaxin readily agreed!
For Lin Ruoxi, Li Jianhe's behavior is equivalent to treating her precious secret love affair with a young girl as a joke! It was completely trampled with no dignity!
However, Shen Yaxin abandoned her sisterhood with her silently.
Knowing that Lin Ruoxi has a secret love, and knowing Lin Ruoxi's difficulties, he took advantage of the emptiness and didn't say hello at all!
The double blow, the scars imprinted on Lin Ruoxi's mind, is also the reason why Lin Ruoxi is still so emotionally unstable when he sees the couple today.
Yang Chen took a deep breath, only feeling that the air in the car seemed depressed.
But soon, with a smile pulled up at the corner of his mouth, Yang Chen stretched out his hand and stroked the woman’s face. "It turns out that there is such a thing, and there is no new feeling at all. I am still being my wife and cheating. It seems that I am overhearted. NS."
Lin Ruoxi asked carefully: "You won't be angry with me, it's a thing of the past..."
Yang Chen smiled embarrassedly, "How can I be qualified to be angry with you, who hasn't had a past, who hasn't had a little ignorance when you were young. I also know that you have a crush on mathematics teachers, girls, you are always precocious. …"
"You..." Lin Ruoxi blushed and said angrily: "I told you! Don't mention anything about my childhood!"
Yang Chen laughed happily, after a long laugh, he converged, sighed, turned his head, and blinked at Lin Ruoxi.
"Lin Ruoxi, I don't know what kind of feelings you have experienced since childhood, secretly in love, and who you have loved clearly. I don't care about those... Your past, I didn't have time to participate, but I don't regret it. I only know that from From the day you met me, your present, your future, everything will only belong to me, no one can touch..."
