(Three years later)
"Is it true that these people have nothing to do all day long? Isn't it just that someone drives a Martha to take you back to school, and there are posts on the forum saying that you are a sugar daddy. Is it the original sin to be beautiful?!" Bottom bunk Yang Yinyin cursed while flipping through her phone.
After a pause, she poked her head out, glanced at Jiang Ning who was lying on the upper bunk with her eyes closed, and said in a probing tone, "But... is the one driving the car really your brother? Then your family..."
Jiang Ning just came back from an internship in the design institute in the morning, so tired that he didn't even have the strength to lift his fingers, and didn't want to make a sound at all.
Without even frowning, she put on the noise canceling headphones and turned her back to Yang Yinyin.
"...Okay, you continue to sleep." Yang Yinyin could only say.
From the perspective of the lower bunk, you can see a white and slender swan neck and a slender and straight back, separated by a layer of milky white mosquito net, it is shockingly beautiful.
Yang Yinyin stared jealously at Jiang Ning's slender waist for a while, retracted her head, and rolled her eyes.
Fake aloofness, impatient to ask a few more questions, and don't know where the princess temper comes from.
Although she was disdainful, when Jiang Ning came down from the bed in the evening, Yang Yinyin eagerly took a few pictures of her nail art and moved to Jiang Ning's side: "Jiang Ning, help me see which one is closer to your nails. color."
The other roommates cast a mocking look at Yang Yinyin.
Yang Yinyin didn't care.
She needs to maintain a good relationship with Jiang Ning.
Although Jiang Ning is cold and indifferent, she is very generous, and she can often get a little bit of beauty when she is by her side.
Tickets for various dramas, concerts, and debate competitions are often not wanted by Jiang Ning, and people from various departments will send them to her. If Jiang Ning is not interested, most of these opportunities will fall into the hands of the other three roommates, especially Yang Yinyin.
When Jiang Ning first entered the university, he became a well-known figure in the school. During the military training, boys from various colleges took advantage of the opportunity to carry mineral water and flocked to the square team of their architectural design department to peek at Jiang Ning.
In the past, most of the school beauties performed in the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala or the school celebration, and they became popular in the school, but this time, Jiang Ning, a freshman from the Department of Architecture, did nothing. school belle.
Now that they are in their junior year, no one can compare with Jiang Ning.
Lu Xiuran, who has already graduated from the school, had never met Jiang Ning in person at the beginning. He saw someone on the forum saying that Jiang Ning from the School of Architecture could make his debut as a star. I thought it was Jiang Ning who bought the navy.
Until one time later, when he met Jiang Ning at the teacher's send-off banquet, his eyes were startled, and since then he became the one who chased Jiang Ning the craziest.
But even with Lu Xiuran's conditions, Jiang Ning never gave him any chance.
Some people couldn't understand why Jiang Ning even refused Lu Xiuran, so they picked out that although she seemed to be wearing basic models, her bags and shoes were often famous brands worth tens of thousands of yuan, and she was often sent back to school by a Maserati... At the beginning, some people suspected that Jiang Ning rejected Lu Xiuran because of a large sum of money.
Jiang Ning explained that it was Jiang Fan, her brother, who sent her back. But spreading rumors and refusing rumors is a waste of time. There are so many people in the school that they can't explain it at all. She didn't bother to answer these gossips.
Jiang Ning glanced at the picture Yang Yinyin handed over, and pointed casually: "This one, the color number should be the same."
Another person in the dormitory was playing a game. Hearing this, he laughed with a "poof" and said, "She has a cold white skin, a big beauty looks good with anything, and you can use death powder directly. I advise Yang Yinyin that you should not follow suit."
Yang Yinyin glared at the girl: "You are the only one who talks too much."
Jiang Ning got a headache from the noise, walked to his desk, stuffed a stack of materials and a few books into his bag, picked up an umbrella, and left the dormitory.
When she was in college, Zheng Ruonan bought her and Jiang Fan a house in Beijing, but she recently ran between school and the design institute, so she had no time to go back during her lunch break, so she could only go back to the nearby dormitory to rest for a while.
Who knew that Yang Yinyin could still hear Yang Yinyin's chatter while wearing noise-canceling headphones this afternoon, so it's better to take a long way back to the apartment and go to sleep.
In the evening, the sky darkened, and the street lights on the boulevard had been turned on, but the weather was still hot.
Jiang Ning was wearing a white sleeveless T, denim shorts, and white earphones. There was some sweat on her white neck. Although the clothes are extremely simple, there are still people turning their heads frequently on the road.
Listening to the chirping of cicadas in the grass, she walked under a street lamp with a book in her arms, raised her head to look at the similarly shaped street lamp, and was involuntarily lost in thought.
three years.
time flies.
After Yan Yixie left, Jiang Ning took the college entrance examination step by step.
Zheng Ruonan just came back from a business trip, and her daughter broke up with the boy, she was extremely surprised. And she soon discovered that she would rather Jiang Ning hadn't broken up - because Jiang Ning was in a bad state.
It was so bad that I caught a cold seven or eight times in two months, almost just recovered, and started to have a fever again as soon as the wind blows.
Zheng Ruonan had to hand over the company's business to the deputy general manager, and personally took care of Jiang Ning for two full months, until the college entrance examination.
Zheng Ruonan was originally worried that Jiang Ning's college entrance examination would fail because of this incident, but fortunately, Jiang Ning was more competitive. Although she still had a low fever the day before the college entrance examination, she performed normally in the college entrance examination and was admitted to the top 2 in China.
Jiang Ning was actually very sober. Before the college entrance examination, he was not in a daze, but worked very hard on the questions. It's just that the body's resistance has become very low because of the low mood, so I get the flu repeatedly.
After the college entrance examination, she slept in the room for three days covered with a quilt, until Zheng Ruonan was worried that there was something wrong with her body, so she had to take her for a medical examination before she left the room.
On the day of her eighteenth coming-of-age ceremony, she received an anonymous gift from overseas.
Inside are three keys and three addresses written on snow-white cards.
Two of them are the two sets mentioned by Yan Yixie in the seaside city, and the last one is a duplex of the most expensive real estate near the university she was admitted to.
At that time at the beach, although she returned the card to him, he still returned the things that should have been given to her.
Jiang Ning didn't know whether he should be sad or happy.
The happy thing is that he knows which university he has been admitted to, but the sad thing is that she searched through the express delivery, but she didn't see a single word.
Jiang Ning sealed up the key, but never stepped into the house. She was afraid that the memories would sweep over too suddenly and catch her off guard.
What happened after that was like a revolving door, Jiang Ning didn't have a big impression of it. She didn't sleep very well at that time, and she slept at home with the air conditioner turned on most of the time. She didn't go to the graduation party. It was Zheng Ruonan who nagged in her ear no less than ten times before she remembered where Xu Mingyi and others were admitted.
Xu Mingyi, like her, was admitted to top2, but it was the one opposite. Although they are very close, the two have not seen each other in the past three years.
As for the knot in his previous life, Zhong Congshuang and Jiang Ning didn't care where she went.
—In fact, Jiang Ning cut off contact with her high school classmates.
It's not that Jiang Ning did it on purpose, but that she was not interested in anything at that time.
She was invited to a class reunion, but she didn't go. Later, after going to university, she changed her contact information, and there were even fewer people who had her contact information. Only Yan Dahang and a few others remained.
After going to college, Jiang Ning devoted herself to her studies.
The sophomore completed the research project with the tutor, and the junior began to study in the design institute in the first semester of the junior year. Although the internship salary is not much, she likes this kind of busyness, which can prevent her from falling into too empty emotions.
About a year ago, Jiang Ning asked a friend who went to Germany as an exchange student to inquire about Yan Yixie.
She wasn't sure whether his operation was successful, whether he could stand up smoothly, whether he had inherited the family business, and she didn't know whether her new contact with him would affect his fate. She just couldn't help it.
Inquire about it, it shouldn't matter if you don't make contact.
But Jiang Ning, who no longer stepped into the entertainment industry in this life, lives in a simple environment, but has no connections in her previous life, and there are not many people she can turn to. So in the end, her friend didn't find out anything.
... It was also in Jiang Ning's expectation.
The Yan family is inherently mysterious, it doesn't often appear in the news, and it's not something ordinary people can inquire about.
…
In this way, in the blink of an eye, it was already summer three years later.
In the past few years, Jiang Ning has thought countless times, what should she say and do when they meet again.
Whether he believes it or not, she will definitely find an opportunity to explain clearly the reason why he was forced to leave back then.
But she thought, when he looked at her with such bone-chilling cold eyes, he must have hated her to the core, and he might not give her a chance to explain.
What she cared most about was whether Yan Yixie went abroad at the set time like in his previous life, whether the operation was successful in the end, and whether his legs recovered.
If it recovers, she thought, even if he hates herself all his life, it doesn't matter.
But more than a thousand days and nights passed, and there was no news of the old man from afar.
Jiang Ning didn't know if he and Yan Yixie had a future.
…
A vibration of the mobile phone broke Jiang Ning's thoughts, she came back to her senses, took out the mobile phone from her bag and picked it up: "Senior brother."
Walking to the corridor from the phone, he hurriedly said, "Jiang Ning, where are you?"
"School." Jiang Ning was walking towards the teaching building: "What's wrong?"
"Can you bring me the drawings to the Peninsula Hotel? Please, please."
Jiang Ning said: "What's the matter? Please make it clear first, I still have classes tonight."
Ye Chang said anxiously: "You know the theater design project that our tutor talked about a few days ago, the one that asked you to help draw the sketches. Originally, the tutor didn't have any hope, but in the end, he caught the plane in the afternoon, but happened to meet We went to the person in charge of the other party’s project, and we had dinner together. The dinner is not over yet, and the other party expressed his interest temporarily, and I was also there, so I really couldn’t get away. Can you send us our drawings as soon as possible? ?”
Ye Chang is a senior directly related to Jiang Ning, and he has helped Jiang Ning a lot, and he also helped introduce the internship in the design institute.
He is currently working on a theater building project with his mentor. Because he trusts Jiang Ning, he showed Jiang Ning the drawings. At this moment, he couldn't ask others to send it there, so as not to leak the information.
Jiang Ning had to skip the minor class in the evening.
She walked quickly towards the school gate, and said as she walked, "Okay, tell me where you put it, and I will pick it up."
"Hey, thank you, thank you." Ye Chang thanked repeatedly.
Jiang Ning took a taxi to the Design Institute to get the blueprints, and asked the driver to drive to the Peninsula Hotel.
She sent a WeChat message, and Ye Chang rushed out of the restaurant to respond.
In front of the hotel, in the dark.
As soon as Ye Chang came out, he saw the young girl leaning against the wall outside, with her left foot against the wall, casually playing with her mobile phone, and the light from the mobile phone illuminated her picturesque eyebrows.
She heard the shout, put away her phone, and looked at him.
Even though I have known Jiang Ning for three years, I am amazed every time I see Ye Chang.
It's a pity that this junior sister is a famous figure in the school, there are many people who pursue her, and it's not my turn at all.
Moreover, she is indifferent. If she hadn't been more ordinary and hadn't expressed her intention to pursue her, she probably wouldn't have become friends with her.
Ye Chang smiled wryly in his heart.
He restrained his thoughts, and walked over quickly: "Thank you so much, I will treat you to dinner another day."
Jiang Ning straightened up, took out the blueprint from the bag and handed it to him, and said, "Check if you took it wrong."
Ye Chang flipped through the blueprints in his hand, confirmed that there were quite a few of them, finally heaved a sigh of relief, turned around and walked in: "I still have to send it to the instructor, you wait here for a while, and I will take you back."
"No—" Jiang Ning hadn't finished saying "no" when the man hurried into the restaurant.
"..."
Jiang Ning simply didn't wait for him to return, turned around and walked towards the intersection outside, preparing to call a car back to the apartment.
At this moment, the class is more than half over, even if roll call is to be done, it will be done early, and it will be too late to go back to school, so I just go back and get a good night's sleep.
While Jiang Ning was walking along the outer wall of the hotel, a rare car in China slowly drove towards him.
The Peninsula Hotel has strict security. If you want a car to drive in, you need to do a lot of registration at the front. Jiang Ning just walked over, and the security guard asked her to register her name and phone number before letting her in.
But this car seemed to have a great background, and the security guard let it pass without even asking.
Jiang Ning watched the two uniformed security guards hurried out of the pavilion and bowed halfway to this side. He felt strange in his heart and couldn't help but look at the car more.
Seeing this, Jiang Ning was inexplicably not breathing well.
The night was so dark that I couldn't see anything clearly.
But she felt as if she met a pair of eyes in the car.
An indescribable feeling swept over and permeated all limbs.
Jiang Ning froze on the spot, her footsteps stopped in place.
Before she had time to stuff it back into the bag, the remaining white paper materials fell from her hand.
As soon as the wind blew, it scattered in all directions, and she hurriedly bent down to pick it up.
In such an instant, the car has already slid over.
Jiang Ning simply didn't pick it up, and with an inexplicable mood, he straightened up and looked at the car.
The car had already turned the corner and entered the underground parking lot.
When passing in front of the Peninsula Hotel, the strong lights above the hotel fell down like a Milky Way curtain, making the car illuminated by strong light.
Jiang Ning followed a few steps subconsciously, stood on tiptoe and looked over there.
So at that moment, she saw clearly the outline of the young man in the car—just a vague outline.
The outline is like a wonderfully crafted sculpture, which can't be seen clearly through a thick layer of car glass. The side face has a straight nose, deep eyebrows, and exudes a somewhat gloomy atmosphere.
Jiang Ning's breathing suddenly became rapid.
She wasn't sure if it was because it was just a fleeting moment and she didn't see it clearly.
But before she could make a rational decision, her emotions had forced her to catch up quickly.
It's just that she was dragged back by a hand as soon as she chased to the entrance of the Peninsula Hotel.
Ye Chang looked at her in confusion: "What's the matter? What are you running towards the underground parking lot? I didn't drive, the way out is over there."
Jiang Ning was stopped and lost, and he didn't see which floor of the parking lot the car went to.
She took a quick breath and wanted to shake off Ye Chang's hand, but she couldn't.
… Is it just a misread
How could it be such a coincidence that Yan Yixie just appeared here? According to the timeline of the previous life, he should not have returned to China yet.
Jiang Ning's heart was complicated and difficult to distinguish, and finally stopped.
Ye Chang walked over to pick up the manuscripts that had been blown away by the wind, and after a look, he found that they were just blank paper left over from printing. He handed it to Jiang Ning and said, "Let's go, I'll take you back."
Jiang Ning looked over there again, without making a sound, turned around and followed Ye Chang to the side of the road.
But at this moment, very abruptly, the car backed out from the underground parking lot again.
Then stop at the entrance of the Peninsula Hotel.
When Jiang Ning heard the movement, she turned her head subconsciously.
The back door was opened, and a young man got out of the car. He was tall, handsome, white-skinned, and wearing a dark suit. His handsome features gave people a strong sense of oppression that could not be seen directly.
Jiang Ning suffocated for a moment.
And the young man got out of the car, his expression was indifferent, he didn't even look this way from the corner of his eye, he went straight up the steps and walked towards the restaurant.
Ye Chang was stunned, and looked around, where was Jiang Ning
Jiang Ning had already thrown the bag into his arms, and followed him after him.
Ye Chang hugged the women's bag: "...?"
The driver in the car was also a little confused.
Seven days ago, Young Master Yan returned to China. Apart from going to the company and private hospital, he was asked to drive with that female college student. He thought that Young Master Yan had taken a fancy to him, but Young Master Yan only let him follow him, looking coldly at him from a distance from the car, but he didn't get off.
...Look at that look, is it an enemy
The driver thought so.
Including just now, when he saw the girl's information scattered all over the place, Young Master Yan also asked him to stop without expression.
But, he didn't stop, and continued to drive. Yan Shao saw from the rearview mirror that the girl hadn't caught up, and his eyes were a little gloomy.
Immediately after, a man came out of the restaurant and grasped the girl's hand familiarly, Yan Shao's expression changed suddenly, and he asked him to retreat.
... Immediately afterwards, Young Master Yan pretended to go to the restaurant for something, and got out of the car without looking sideways.
You must know that Yan Shao is obviously not going to the restaurant, but to go through the parking lot under the hotel and take a shortcut to the hotel on the opposite street.
