If there is a word that Lin Chengyu is most afraid of and least willing to touch, it is ex-boyfriend.
—To be precise, it was Jiang Xiao's ex-boyfriend.
It's much better now, the time when he was so jealous that he was dying to live has passed, if he can have Jiang Xiao's present and future, those shouldn't be remembered, it will only increase troubles.
After Fu Ruoyan broke up with Jiang Xiao and experienced the fire, his whole person changed a lot. He hadn't been so paranoid for a long time, and after Jiang Xiao's tendency became obvious, he retreated to a certain extent.
Lin Chengyu doesn't see him very often by Jiang Xiao's side now. Of course, he also knows in his heart that if something happens and he does something wrong, this person will still appear by Jiang Xiao's side again, waiting for an opportunity to snatch Jiang Xiao away. return.
And he won't let that opportunity arise.
So Fu Ruoyan is no longer a big threat to Lin Chengyu.
But there was another person who was different from Fu Ruoyan. Jiang Xiao took the initiative to break up with Fu Ruoyan. Under such circumstances, it was difficult for him to turn back. But Jiang Xiao was not so willing in the previous relationship, and it was even a pity.
Lin Heyuan.
If you mention Jiang Xiao's high school years, you will never be able to avoid this person.
Lin Chengyu thought that was also the past tense, after all so many years had passed, he thought that Lin Heyuan would stay abroad for the rest of his life.
But at the critical moment, the other party came back.
Jiang Xiao saw this news in the circle of friends, because he had contact with Ye Yingying a few years ago, and he also met with some classmates he knew in high school before, but except for Yingying, he rarely chatted with others .
Lin Heyuan was an out-and-out man in high school. After he went abroad, there was a lot less news. Ordinary people don’t understand physics. When the university gradually emerged, there was no news in the country, and the students mentioned him occasionally, and they hardly knew how he was doing now.
Until now when the big news comes out, it’s hard for everyone not to notice it. Lin Heyuan became famous in high school because he won an award, the Olympiad award, and it is still an unrepeatable result in Houlin No. 1 Middle School.
However, the achievements belonging to Lin Heyuan did not stop here. Now his research results have won another award that has attracted the attention of the physics world. He is still outstanding and young, and the heavy news accompanying this award is Lin Heyuan's return to China.
According to rumors, after he won the award, he accepted the national invitation and will soon join a domestic institution of higher learning as a professor. He can be regarded as one of the youngest professors in this industry.
However, teaching is not his main job. With awards and research results, it is said that several national research projects with a funding of over 100 million yuan have invited him to stay. It is indeed a return home.
His achievements are eye-catching, and he is still so young, the gossip in the circle of friends is a bit messy, and there are different opinions about his return to China, which should not be finalized for the time being.
When Jiang Xiao saw the news in Moments, he was stunned for a while. He suddenly saw the name and knew the news of his return. It seemed unreal.
It's Lin Heyuan.
Lin Chengyu was next to him at that time, seeing his blank look, so he asked a casual question, and the answer he got made him stunned.
"...It's been so long," Jiang Xiao continued, as if talking to himself, "Maybe he forgot."
At that time, he didn't leave any contact information with Lin Heyuan, and his parents blocked him, and he was far away from the ocean. At that time, communication was not so convenient. After breaking up, he really lost contact.
I haven't seen each other for so many years, and everyone's life trajectory is irrelevant. After all, the relationship in high school was fragile and immature. Now that the other party returns to China, it may not be able to remember this regret.
But the fact is that the afternoon Jiang Xiao saw that message in Moments, he received a friend request and then received a phone call.
Generally speaking, Jiang Xiao would not answer an unfamiliar number, but he saw the friend request, it was Lin Heyuan.
Behind the phone number, he seemed to have guessed who it was.
Jiang Xiao stared at the phone for a while, and finally picked it up. He heard a voice he hadn't heard for a long time.
"Every year?"
Jiang Xiao responded.
"I'm Lin Heyuan."
Jiang Xiao's fingers moved twice, he opened his mouth, and responded with an "um", indicating that he knew, but he was still a little speechless.
"I'm going to Liujiang today, can we have dinner together?" Lin Heyuan said, "I invite you. Year after year, we haven't seen each other for a long time."
Jiang Xiao said "Okay", he seemed to be replying mechanically, it was indeed a long time no see, he had no reason to refuse.
Then he heard a laugh on the other end of the phone.
"Is it a surprise?" Lin Heyuan asked him.
Jiang Xiao thought for a while, and answered honestly: "A little bit."
"Let's talk about it after we meet," Lin Heyuan said, "I miss you very much and want to see you."
But Jiang Xiao didn't say a few words during the whole phone call, and Lin Heyuan didn't say much, mainly because a lot of things were not suitable to be said on the phone, and they had to be face-to-face to have a sense of reality.
After Jiang Xiao hung up the phone, he sat there in a daze for a while, then turned on the phone and added his friend.
Lin Heyuan sent him the location of a restaurant, and after the location of the restaurant, he added the sentence "looking forward to meeting you".
So Jiang Xiao was a little out of his mind that whole afternoon.
The whole high school was very beautiful to him, and Lin Heyuan was the brightest star in the beauty. The first love he gave Jiang Xiao was a very simple first love without any impurities, and it is still very good in retrospect.
It's just that the breakup is not very good-looking.
Now that the two meet again at this age, Jiang Xiao doesn't know what the other party wants to do, he is a little uneasy, and his mind always has some messy thoughts.
For some reason, he always thought of Lin Chengyu.
After get off work in the afternoon, Lin Chengyu came to pick him up as usual today. The two of them often had dinner together, but this time he didn't pick up anyone.
"... I have an appointment with someone else," Jiang Xiao said with a little confidence, and he didn't know why he was guilty, "I'm sorry, I should have told you in advance."
He was a little distracted all afternoon, and he didn't have time to think about anything else.
"Is it about work?" Lin Chengyu asked him, "I'll pick you up tonight."
Jiang Xiao shook his head and said, "Lin Heyuan is back, I, I will go see him."
Lin Chengyu's smile stiffened a little.
He knew that Lin Heyuan was back, but he didn't expect this person to come so soon.
Sure enough, the visitor was not good.
Jiang Xiao misses the past, even if he is a good friend, he will see him whenever he has time, let alone Lin Heyuan.
Many thoughts flashed through Lin Chengyu's mind at that moment, of course he didn't want Jiang Xiao to go, but he didn't have this position to stop him, no matter how close he was now, he was not Jiang Xiao's lover.
But no matter how much he comforted himself, as long as Lin Heyuan came back, he would be a huge threat.
Lin Chengyu couldn't stop him, and he didn't say anything, so Jiang Xiao went to see Lin Heyuan that night. After such a long time, this person still remembers the taste he likes, and the restaurant he chose is Jiang Xiao's frequent goer, and he is familiar with it.
He thought he had come very early, but the other party had come earlier.
In the small box by the window, Jiang Xiao saw that person as soon as he walked in.
It's been a long time.
He was stunned for a while at the door of the box.
Lin Heyuan's facial features don't look much different from when he was in high school. If I have to say it, he has grown longer and looks more mature and tough.
He was still very good-looking, especially when he raised his eyes to look at Jiang Xiao, his eyes were still the same as before, as if filled with a lake of water.
In Jiang Xiao's memory, he was always wearing a school uniform with a very clean look, but now he was wearing a gray coat that was a little more formal, and a lamp was lit on the dining table, under the lamp, he still looked the same at that time.
Jiang Xiao seemed to be suddenly caught in a kind of memory, and didn't know how to speak for a while.
Not only Jiang Xiao was looking at Lin Heyuan, but Lin Heyuan was also looking at him, his eyes never moved away from Jiang Xiao.
The flesh on Jiang Xiao's face has shrunk a little, not as fat as a baby in high school, and his eyes are still big. Today, the Liujiang River is windy, and his hair is a little messed up, with a few strands hanging down the side of his face, looking Obedient.
He was very focused when looking at people, blinked his eyes, and then slowly smiled at him, the little tiger has sharp teeth, really cute.
In fact, Lin Heyuan hasn't seen him for a long time. He has seen a lot of news about Jiang Xiao when he was abroad. He is the founder of Infinity, and he is a famous young entrepreneur in China, but he never has the feeling of seeing this person standing in front of him through the video.
Before Jiang Xiao sat across from him, Lin Heyuan came over first, and he couldn't help reaching out to give Jiang Xiao a hug.
"Niannian," he said, "I miss you very much."
Jiang Xiao's first reaction was to be taken aback, he was a little not used to the other party's hug.
But a friendly hug is still okay, after a while, Jiang Xiao took a step back and let go.
Lin Heyuan didn't say anything more.
The two sat down facing each other, and Jiang Xiao's mood stabilized. After seeing the person, he seemed to have achieved a certain wish, and he was no longer nervous.
"I also just found out about your return to China today, and I was a little surprised," Jiang Xiao said, "Why did you think of coming to me?"
Lin Heyuan glanced at him: "I came back to find you."
He wasn't going to make a detour.
Jiang Xiao stopped holding the chopsticks for a moment.
"I actually came back before," Lin Heyuan continued, "I came back to see you when I had some ability to fight against my family. It was probably not long after you graduated from university. I came late, unfortunately, at that time , you are with someone else."
That should be Fu Ruoyan.
"So I didn't bother you." Lin Heyuan said, "I thought I had no chance."
At that time, he himself hadn't made outstanding achievements, and he didn't have any capital to compete with others. After that, he devoted himself to doing research almost in retreat, hoping to really stand out. When he finally made a breakthrough in his career, and his family had no power to restrain him, someone in China contacted Lin Heyuan and offered him an olive branch.
For Lin Heyuan, it's okay to go back to China, and it doesn't matter to him to stay abroad, but when he mustered up the courage to inquire about Jiang Xiao's personal information, he discovered the fact that he was single after the breakup.
For this reason, he couldn't wait to come back.
"Niannian, I always remember you, and I have never forgotten you," Jiang Xiao heard Lin Heyuan continue to say, his eyes fixed on himself, never moving away, "I was so naive in high school, I always thought it was enough to like each other. I'm sorry I didn't protect you well, but I really never thought about breaking up."
