Maybe the two of them didn't need to say much. Lin Chengyu is very clear about what he wants in his heart, he has persisted for a long time and will never give up.
Even if there is even a chance, he wants to be with Jiang Xiao like this.
The fish porridge is almost ready, and there is a scent in the cabin. Lin Chengyu hasn't eaten Jiang Xiao's food for a while. The fish and shrimp in the town are always fresh, but this porridge is different from the one made at home, and even better. Jiang Xiao hasn't gotten tired of eating it for a while, and even Don't say that Lin Chengyu has never tasted this.
It was still the taste of Jiang Xiao, which he cherished very much.
Jiang Xiao didn't say anything to him, but he was very familiar with that kind of helplessness.
Lin Chengyu came to see him this time, even if he didn't do anything, seeing Jiang Xiao, he felt relaxed and comfortable, and the messy and frizzy mood in his heart seemed to be calmed down all at once.
Even if there is no extra words, he still can't say it
The fish porridge was finished, and the boat was about to dock.
Jiang Xiao didn't have anything to say, he just called the two people over to discuss the matter on the bright side.
He could find peace in a place like this, and he hoped the two of them could too.
When Lin Chengyu came ashore, there were ripples on the water, and the boat swayed. He looked at Jiang Xiao, a little dazed, and almost stepped on the ground.
It was Jiang Xiao who had sharp eyes and quick hands, and gave him a hand. This is a subconscious act of helping and has no other meaning.
He touched Lin Chengyu's hand for just a moment, and the two hands were tightly clenched due to the pulling force and then quickly separated.
Jiang Xiao had held these hands many times before, and he was just giving him a hand, so there was nothing to be ashamed of. It's just that I was taken aback for a moment, and there were some natural emotions.
Lin Chengyu had never experienced any hardship in his previous life, his hands were clean, but this time it was different, his hands had many calluses, to the extent that he was not used to it.
It's true to think about it, he goes to the construction site more often, and he has done many things personally with the small workers on the construction site. Now it is natural to have cocoons.
"Xiaoxiao," Lin Chengyu really didn't mean it this time, he was pulled by Jiang Xiao, and he was even a little nervous, "I..."
His eyes are not so obvious, and he probably didn't sleep well. Jiang Xiao knows him too well, and Lin Chengyu is a bit obsessed with the bed. He is actually not suitable for going out frequently.
Lin Chengyu heard Jiang Xiao sigh.
"There's no need to follow, you made yourself so miserable, why bother," he said, in a low voice that only the two of them could hear, "You... let yourself go first."
No matter how much Jiang Xiao refused before, he didn't think much of it, and he became desensitized after hearing too much. He knew what he wanted in his heart, and he never wavered.
But today, when he pulled his hand and heard Jiang Xiao's words again, his voice was low, with Jiang Xiao's gentleness, Lin Chengyu's heart was pulled, and tears were about to fall out.
It's strange, he could bear Jiang Xiao's indifference towards him, and gradually got used to it, thinking that I just need to be with him.
But if Jiang Xiao felt a little bit of kindness to him, even if there was only a little feedback, even if Jiang Xiao had no other intentions, even if he treated Fu Ruoyan the same way, he would be a little at a loss what to do.
"Actually..." Lin Chengyu stood firm, took a few steps to follow Jiang Xiao, and explained nervously, "Actually, I just want to come and see you. On your birthday, I want to make you a chestnut cake. like or not."
Jiang Xiao's birthday this year was during a trip, and after Lin Chengyu came with him, it was not difficult to find a kitchen.
He remembered that Jiang Xiao liked to eat chestnuts at this time. When he made chestnut cakes for his birthday before, he ate them all, and Lin Chengyu also tried his best to make flowers. He was afraid that Jiang Xiao would get bored, so he tried black tea, caramel, chestnuts, nuts, chestnuts, chestnuts, and chestnuts. The craftsmanship is very advanced.
It's just that Jiang Xiao hasn't eaten it in recent years.
Jiang Xiao froze for a moment, then glanced at him, and replied, "As you wish."
His birthday has passed this year.
At that time Lin Chengyu came here, he didn't know how entangled he was secretly, he hid and looked at him, and finally didn't bring out the finished cake to him.
It was still early when I got off the boat, around four o'clock in the afternoon. Unlike Fu Ruoyan's depressed mood, Lin Chengyu relaxed a lot.
Maybe he's used to not asking for anything, it's good to see Jiang Xiao openly today and stay with him for two hours.
Jiang Xiao had no intention of staying with the two of them any longer, and went back to the room alone. Lin Chengyu and Fu Ruoyan didn't bother him either, and he went back to his place of residence.
This is not the peak tourist season, and many homestays in the small town are empty. Now that they were discovered, there was no need for the two of them to hide, and they stayed near where Jiang Xiao lived.
Fu Ruoyan waited for Jiang Xiao to go upstairs and stopped Lin Chengyu.
"I also contacted Aunt Xia before, and she said that Xiaoxiao was really tired during this period," Fu Ruoyan said here, and knew that there were reasons for it, and it was too late to regret it at this time, "Maybe he really needs to calm down Take a moment. Lin Chengyu, neither of us can push him too hard, we have to give him time."
When Fu Ruoyan saw Jiang Xiao today, he always panicked for no reason. He was not afraid that Jiang Xiao would get angry, but rather that Jiang Xiao would be like this now and want nothing.
He didn't want to say any lies about competing fairly with Lin Chengyu. He still thought that he was different with Jiang Xiao, but the two of them had the same purpose, so they couldn't both go the wrong way and push Jiang Xiao more and more. Far.
Just after breaking up, Jiang Xiao couldn't listen to what he did or said, maybe calm down first, and the effect will be better after a while.
"You don't want to see Jiang Xiao really refuse to fall in love like this, do you?"
Lin Chengyu walked around him.
"It's up to you, but I'm different from you," he said, "I just want to be with Jiang Xiao."
To this day, Lin Chengyu has given up hope that Jiang Xiao will fall in love with him again.
After Jiang Xiao and Fu Ruoyan broke up, what he did was not so much a pursuit as a temptation.
Even going back to the moment when we were friends was fine.
It doesn't matter what Jiang Xiao does, whether he doesn't want to fall in love, or finds someone else, it's his choice. For Lin Chengyu, the feeling in his heart is difficult to quantify and describe. If he had to describe it, he just... wanted the right to make chestnut cakes for Jiang Xiao.
Fu Ruoyan didn't understand what he meant.
He watched Lin Chengyu go around him, thinking that he wanted to cling to Jiang Xiao again, so he cursed an old dog in his heart.
The ghost knows what he is planning secretly.
But honestly, there really isn't.
Lin Chengyu hasn't slept well for the past few days, but he is sleepy right now. Even if it's not the time to sleep, maybe he can relax a little, and there will be moments of tranquility.
Back in the room, I fell asleep without thinking about anything.
It was already late when he woke up, Lin Chengyu looked at the time, it was past eight o'clock in the evening.
From his room, he could see the window of Jiang Xiao's room, which was lit with warm yellow lights.
There are many homestays in the town, and the local style is obvious. It is not as luxurious as high-end hotels, but it has a different style.
There are also bamboo buildings in the town, and the B&Bs here are mostly wooden structures. The wooden floor is a bit old, and occasionally there will be a creaking sound when you step on it. Some places are carpeted, and the patterns are also very special.
The room was smoked with a local agarwood fragrance, which smelled faintly. Jiang Xiao liked this smell, so she asked the store to buy a pack and put it in the suitcase.
He has already packed his luggage, and he is going to leave tomorrow morning. This is the last night of sleeping here. During dinner, Jiang Xiao heard the cries of sugar-fried chestnuts coming from the corner of the street.
In winter, it is indeed the season to eat chestnuts.
In fact, Jiang Xiao hasn't eaten chestnuts for a long time. Lin Chengyu mentioned it today, and he just remembered that he really liked chestnuts a few years ago, so he just bought a pack.
But the chestnuts here are so-so, not very sweet, a little hard, Jiang Xiao was not hungry at all, so he ate a few, frowned, and put them aside.
I have a little craving for chestnut cake.
Just a little bit, Jiang Xiao dismissed this thought, and then urged himself to sleep quickly.
He doesn't want to eat when he's asleep.
That night, Jiang Xiao tossed and turned on the bed for a while, but he still didn't understand Lin Chengyu today.
...Why are you so stubborn
In his previous life, he didn't see that he had this kind of potential at all, and he didn't know how he transformed it. They were simply two extremes.
He couldn't think clearly, and fell asleep in a daze. In the middle of the night, he didn't know whether he was woken up by the heat or the noise. He just felt very uncomfortable all over. When he opened his eyes, he woke up instantly.
what happened
There was thick smoke billowing in the room, and there were screams and cries for help from outside, most of which could not be heard clearly. Jiang Xiao got up quickly, coughed twice as he was choked by the smoke, and then heard a shout from outside clearly.
"... Come and put out the fire!"
He knew what was going on without listening to him, there was smoke all around.
It seems that the firefighting in the town is not doing very well.
There are too many wooden structures in this house, and it is a bit old. It is difficult to extinguish the fire after it breaks out. After Jiang Xiao got up, she reacted very quickly, and immediately went to the bathroom to get a wet towel and covered her nose with water, then pulled out the blanket and turned on the faucet, wanting to put it on and rush out.
His room was on the third floor. At first, Jiang Xiao thought it would be faster to jump directly from the window. The height is not high, and there is a lawn below, so he won't suffer serious injuries.
But the window was covered with an iron fence to prevent theft, and he couldn't get it open. Just by turning around, the black smoke in the room became thicker, and it was almost impossible to see clearly.
He quickly put on the wet blanket, the door in the room was hot and couldn't be opened, I don't know if the door lock was deformed by the heat or something, Jiang Xiao kicked the door open forcefully.
The smoke in the corridor was even worse, and I could see the flames downstairs. Because I kicked the door with strength, the smoke was thicker, and Jiang Xiao was short of breath. After leaving the room, he lay down on the ground and walked forward. not good.
Obviously, the fire started from the bottom. There are only three floors in this building. The fire is getting bigger and bigger. Seeing that it will burn to the third floor soon, I can't wait, so I can only run down and rush out.
The stairs were very narrow. When Jiang Xiao tried his best to get to the second floor, the smoke had already smoked him so much that he couldn't open his eyes. He kept crying and stumbled.
Unfortunately, there is a public rest area on the second floor, and there are more messy things. Jiang Xiao was hit by the screen that suddenly fell, lying on the ground panting, it was already difficult to stay awake.
… Do I have the buff of breaking up and dying
Jiang Xiao thought happily, there is no need to be so unlucky.
At this moment, he vaguely heard someone calling his name in a panic.
"Xiaoxiao!"
I couldn't tell whose voice it was, I only knew that in the raging fire, before he fainted, someone picked him up.
He seemed to sense who it was.
What are you doing here? Jiang Xiao thought, with such a big fire, he would rush into it instead of running quickly.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here," he heard the other party's voice, "I'll take you out."
Before Jiang Xiao could answer, he passed out. There were several burning pains on his body, and his vision was pitch black.
After a while, Jiang Xiao didn't know when he regained consciousness, but his body felt heavy, his throat hurt, he coughed a few times, but couldn't make a sound.
When I opened my eyes, it wasn't a ward in front of me, but...
Jiang Xiao was stunned.
This is his small villa in Liujiang.
what happened? Isn't it a fire
The reason why it is said to be his small villa, not the big villa bought and expanded by Lin Chengyu, is that the difference is still obvious.
Jiang Xiao recognized him at a glance, the place where he was lying was the master bedroom, the curtains were open, and there were other villas in front of him, so he could only see half of the lake view.
After Jiang Xiao fully woke up, he discovered more strange things.
He has no body, or in other words, it is almost transparent, and the outline can only be seen by carefully identifying it.
Jiang Xiao: ...
I wouldn't be so unlucky that I would die after encountering a fire
He turned his body around, only feeling that he didn't look like a soul. If it was true, he should also be floating in the rebirth life.
Moreover, Jiang Xiao's memory of the fire before he fell into a coma is still very clear. Someone came to rescue him. His injuries were not serious, and he did not stay at the scene of the fire for too long. All kinds of protective measures were basically taken. He is in good health. Very, it's just fainted by Xun for a while, it's not so easy to hang up.
But even if it was a dream, Jiang Xiao didn't know why he came back here.
He couldn't tell when this was in his previous life, he couldn't move anything in the translucent state, and there was no one in the small villa, so he could only float around in this place.
Jiang Xiao was thinking about how to go back, or how to wake up. He was reborn, and he has a good acceptance of such kind of mysterious things, but he can't stay here forever.
Fortunately, after a while, the door of the villa was opened.
The person who came in was Lin Chengyu.
Jiang Xiao stood there looking at him, staring up and down for a while, and he suddenly knew what point in time he had returned.
Lin Chengyu obviously just came back from a business trip. The suitcase he was carrying was newly bought and given by Jiang Xiao. He naturally remembered it clearly. It was the first time he used this suitcase when he went abroad to discuss business.
Then this point in time is very clear.
About half a month after he died of illness, Lin Chengyu finally came back from abroad.
The author has something to say: The next few chapters are extra episodes after Xiaoxiao’s death in the previous life. At the beginning, someone asked that they wanted to read it, and I replied that there would definitely be one.
We will soon see with our own eyes how Lin transformed from the two extremes every year.
