"Hey - Ye Zhijin, your Su..."
"There is a large-scale international mathematics exchange seminar in Luoxing Building. Last time you said there were no places, so I asked someone to get two tickets. Do you want to come?" Ye Zhijin interrupted him directly and said the key point.
"If you want, can you get one more?" Ji Chen glanced at Luo Qingchen next to him and said into the phone, "I want to take my little assistant with me."
When Luo Qingchen heard this, her breathing stagnated, and her heart rate slowly and unknowingly accelerated.
"No." Ye Zhijin said calmly: "I won't go. Anyway, I have something to do later. You and your assistant can go and I'll wait for you at the Bian'an Cafe."
For some reason, when he heard the words "little assistant", his eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he unconsciously recalled what Ji Chen said yesterday in his mind.
-do you know? For all her questions, you can write the answers directly without writing the process.
"Wow - I knew you were good to me." Ji Chen smiled happily and said, "Don't worry, Su Lan is looking for you. I'll take her with me so that you won't be lonely without me."
"No… "
Before Ye Zhijin could speak, Ji Chen hung up the phone.
-
Sitting in Ji Chen's luxurious Mercedes-Benz, there was silence in the car.
Until Su Lan's voice spoke slowly, breaking the tranquility.
"You look very young, have you just graduated?" Su Lan glanced at Luo Qingchen and asked in a tentative tone.
Luo Qingchen looked out the window and said casually: "Graduation... many years ago."
I vaguely recall that summer in my mind, with the faint scent of camphor trees filling the air.
She stood at the crossroads and watched time go back.
Flash forward, many years.
"Then... have you studied in this city before?" Su Lan continued to ask with some panic in her eyes.
"Well, yes." She responded calmly.
"That… "
"Su Lan—" She wanted to ask something else, but Ji Chen interrupted her and smiled: "Why do you have so many questions today? It's very unlike your usual arrogant young lady style!"
"Yes...really?" She lowered her head slightly and stopped talking.
She felt a little sweat on her palms, her heart began to panic unconsciously, and her fingertips trembled slightly.
She selfishly hoped that the girl would never have to appear again in this life.
Su Lan has liked Ye Zhijin for seven years.
This is also the most persistent thing she has done in her life as a proud daughter.
But she knew that she had not entered his heart.
She was not afraid of hearing his repeated rejections, she was just afraid of seeing his lonely figure standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the tall building in the dead of night.
She deliberately went to the anniversary celebration of Huai Meng No. 1 Middle School that day, but when the girl named Bei Xiaoshi told him that she had forgotten. She could clearly feel the panic in his eyes, the fear, the reluctance to listen...
Half an hour later, at the entrance of Luoxing Building.
Ji Chen looked at his watch and walked forward, saying, "Zhijin is waiting for us at the Bian'an Cafe. Let's go quickly. I can't wait to go to the exchange meeting and make a splash."
Luo Qingchen was stunned for a moment, feeling that his feet were as heavy as a thousand pounds.
To her, it was just a blink of an eye, but to that boy, seven years had passed.
It’s hard to imagine what a person’s state of mind would be like after the most important person disappears out of thin air.
Probably, very desperate...
There is a swaying wind chime hanging at the door of the coffee shop. When the breeze blows, it will make a tinkling sound.
She took a deep breath and followed Ji Chen in. (To be continued)
