Time

Taking three flights in three consecutive days was too much for Jiang Anlan. After getting off the plane, he found a quieter seat at the airport, sat and rested for about ten minutes before standing up.

When Yao Yuan woke up, he felt a little pain in his forehead. Then he remembered that when he came home from dinner yesterday, his cousin's car collided with a car next to him that suddenly skidded, lost control and hit the median strip in the middle of the road. , her head hit the car door and broke, and my cousin's left leg was bruised. Fortunately, there was no danger at all, but the tossing was very exhausting. It was almost ten o'clock last night when the traffic police and the insurance company came over to deal with the accident, and then rushed to the hospital to deal with the wound, and it was more than one o'clock after that. Back at Yao Yuan's residence, the two of them took a rest after washing up briefly.

Yao Yuan was lying on the bed at that time, recalling the moment when the car hit her, she thought of her parents and him. When many emotions are mixed together, the most chewed out is bitterness.

She pressed the gauze covering her forehead and couldn't help sighing, "Recently, there have been many disasters."

Yao Xinran, who was sleeping on the other side, also woke up, "I think it's time for us to burn incense in the temple."

Yao Yuan asked, "What time is it?"

Yao Xinran looked at his phone, "It's only a quarter past seven, it's still early... Huh? Where are you going? He sent us a message at twelve o'clock last night to ask how we were doing? This guy is quite loyal. " Yao Xinran dialed the phone right away, and when she got connected, she smiled and said, "Morning, brother Xiaozuo... us? Of course we are fine... oh, her phone broke... Really? That's a good thing Yes, it's ok, I'm honored." Yao Xinran hung up the phone after talking casually.

Yao Yuan had already got out of bed and was getting dressed, Yao Xinran sat up and said to her: "Wherever you go, talk about it, Huakai's flower shop opens a branch today, let's go to support her, and let's have a meal together by the way."

Yao Yuan pondered: "I won't go, you go."

"Why don't you go? Go, just take it easy."

Yao Yuan said helplessly: "Then I'll fix the phone first."

"What else do you need to fix this phone? There's a crack in the screen, you can just go and buy a new one later."

Yao Yuan felt that there was nothing wrong with not having a mobile phone for a while, so he didn't say anything else.

After receiving the address from where to go, the two went out. Yao Xinran intends to let his cousin get in touch with people more. When they arrived, the flower shop was still deserted. When Huakai saw Yao Xinran and Yao Yuan, she immediately put down her work and walked up, "The two beauties came a little early. Junjun, what's wrong with your forehead? "

"It's a little skinny, it's okay."

Hua Kai looked distressed, "Isn't it too careless to have such a beautiful face disfigured? Huihui sister introduced you to an ointment, which is very effective in lightening spots and promoting muscle growth."

Yao Xinran looked left and right, "The flowers are blooming, didn't they come to meet you? Where are the people?"

"The assembly time is ten o'clock sharp. The auspicious time for my store to open is ten thirty-eight o'clock. It's only nine o'clock now, boss."

"Dizzy, where is that guy, can't speak clearly?" Yao Xinran despised.

Yao Yuan said, "Since you're here, let's do something for you."

Sister Huakai stretched out a hand to wrap around Yao Yuan's shoulder, "I'm always talking, Xiaojun is always so lovable."

Yao Yuan smiled, not wanting others to see that she was actually a little absent-minded.

While helping, people came over one after another, some were Huakai's relatives and friends in real life, some were from the game, such as Eagle One and Asia, all from this city. By ten o'clock, wherever I go, I finally come.

Wherever they went, they saw Yao Yuan and they ran over and asked, "Sister-in-law, Master Shui, are you all right?"

Yao Xinran slapped the kid on the back of the head, "Didn't you tell me again and again that it's okay? Do you really want to see us wear plaster casts and neck guards?"

Wherever I went, I hurriedly shouted for grievances, "No, how can I, I just care about you. I was really scared last night. I sent a WeChat message to our deputy gang leader early in the morning saying that my sister-in-law had a car accident. The gang leader must be dying of panic. ..." Looking at Yao Xinran's increasingly horrified expression, he whispered, "Did I say something wrong?"

Yao Xinran grabbed the collar at the nape of his neck and pulled it out, "Go, accompany my sister to get the banner outside."

He knows

Yao Yuan frowned and thought, he should be worried, right? She really didn't want him to worry about herself in this situation.

Asia on the side suddenly patted her arm, "Sister Jun, the person who came across the road, is your family king of the world? Isn't it? That's right? There are very few chances of this kind of person being mistaken, right?" ?”

Eagle No. 1 asked suspiciously, "The fact that the boss came here is because of the message I sent by mistake, right?"

Yao Yuan looked at him, Eagle No. 1 laughed dryly and said, "When the leader first met you, sister-in-law, in the game, he assigned us a task. When he saw you, he would send him a message. I confused the game with reality for a while."

Yao Yuan had mixed feelings in his heart.

When Jiang Anlan walked into the flower shop, almost everyone paid attention to him, even the friends and relatives who didn't know him at all couldn't help but take a few more glances at this cool guy. Only Yao Yuan stood at the end. The position on the side, the expression is peaceful.

It was Eagle No. 1 who approached Jiang Anlan first: "Boss is so fast, are you in our city?"

Jiang Anlan nodded, walked straight in front of Yao Yuan, looked at the gauze on her forehead, "Is it just a little injury on the forehead?"

Yao Yuan hummed in a low voice.

Confirming that she was fine, Jiang Anlan secretly breathed out, and then said softly, "Can I go out and have a private talk with you?"

Yao Yuan remained silent, because he really didn't know how to face him.

In fact, they have only seen each other for a day and a night, but they feel like they are separated from each other.

There were whispering voices from around, Yao Yuan felt uncomfortable, and then he heard Jiang Anlan say to those people: "Why don't you go out?" His tone was very normal, not overbearing but also... You are really welcome . Yao Yuan has never been thick-skinned, so he said softly: "Let's go outside." He walked out of the flower shop first.

Jiang Anlan followed, it was cold outside, he took her hand and said, "Shall we go to the cafe in front and talk?"

Yao Yuan gently broke away from his hand, "Let's talk about it this way."

Jiang Anlan's complexion was not very good, even a little pale, he said, "Do you hate me too?"

Yao Yuan didn't speak.

Jiang Anlan continued to ask: "Is it my fault that I concealed it from you? Then blame it. After all, I was indeed wrong on this point. I didn't explain it to you openly and honestly as soon as I found out. But, Yao Yuan, I am sorry for you. feelings without any pretense.”

"..."

"Actually, if you want to take revenge on Jiang's family, staying with me is the fastest and most effective way. You just need to be with me, and then treat me a little worse... Of course, the premise is that you have to be with me."

Yao Yuan looked at him in disbelief, and said in a helpless tone, "Stop talking nonsense."

Seeing that she finally spoke, Jiang Anlan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said slowly and carefully: "Yao Yuan, I really can't accept breaking up. You just... just take pity on me, don't leave me any room, Is it okay?" He raised his hand to brush the hair on her forehead, "Does it hurt?"

She looked at Jiang Anlan in front of her, and her mood fell instantly. Yuanyuan didn't know why she was so sad all of a sudden.

She didn't answer him.

Because she doesn't know what to do.

Huakai lit firecrackers, and when the crackling sound sounded, she was standing in the crowd, and he was standing beside her, and she heard Huakai's relatives and friends saying, "This young couple is really a match."

After the firecrackers were set off, Jiang Anlan raised his hand to help her remove a small piece of red paper from her hair. Yao Yuan turned his head away. When Yao Xinran walked over, Yao Yuan grabbed his cousin's hand, "Tell Huakai, shall we go first?"

But they failed to leave. Hua Kai was already inviting everyone to go to the reserved hot pot restaurant for a big meal. She told the two younger sisters to watch the restaurant, and when she came over, she held Yao Yuan's hand, "Xiaojun, do you want to drink later?" Order millet wine? The owner of that shop makes it himself, and it tastes really good and authentic!"

"Can I drink rice wine? It's too girly to drink rice wine. Boss, shall we drink some yellow wine later?" Eagle One asked his boss with a playful smile. Jiang Anlan looked at the back of the person who was being pulled out, and said, "Okay, I want to drink some wine now." He was a little depressed, not blaming her, he only blamed himself for being too impatient.

Jiang Anlan walked behind the team, and Eagle One followed him, "Boss, yesterday we brushed the first peak, and after all the hard work, the results were all rubbish. Sure enough, we can't do it without you, character. All kinds of low."

Walking not far away, he turned around and smiled and said, "Master, are you here on a business trip? Is your company hiring? Can you accept me after I graduate?"

Jiang Anlan hummed casually. He didn't listen to them very much. He was in a bad mood. A relationship that he had never dared to touch was finally opened by him. It slowly heated up and gradually developed in the direction he expected, but it was suddenly popped up. The old story was broken to pieces.

He is really not reconciled.

When Jiang Anlan walked forward, she heard her talking to the people around her, with a troubled expression on her face, "I really can't drink, I have things to do later."

Hua Kai said: "Isn't your school on holiday? What else should you be busy with?"

Jiang Anlan walked up to Yao Yuan, and said to Huakai: "She hasn't recovered from her cold yet, and she was a little shocked last night, so she can't drink." When Huakai saw that it was Jiang Anlan, she smiled at Yao Yuan knowingly. , I stepped back a little to chat with others.

They are going to the hot pot restaurant across the street. After sitting there for about ten minutes, during these ten minutes, Jiang Anlan walked beside Yao Yuan, he didn't speak, and occasionally glanced at her. Yuanyuan didn't know how to deal with him is reasonable, so he just kept silent.

People around looked at the two people who had no communication, and they all had some mental activity.

Yao Xinran was particularly entangled, "What's the matter?" To be honest, she also felt it was a pity that her cousin broke up with Jiang Anlan, after all, it was the first time she saw her cousin open her heart to someone. Objectively speaking, it couldn't be better to marry Jiang Anlan's conditions. However, what is placed before the two of them is obviously no longer a simple question of "whether they are in love with each other".

Entering the hot pot restaurant, Hua Kai stepped forward and said something, and the waiter led them to the large private room on the second floor.

After Yao Yuan went in, he wanted to give the bag to his cousin for safekeeping. She went to the bathroom, but Jiang Anlan reached out to take it first. Yao Yuan thought to himself, he couldn't snatch the bag over, so he had no choice but to say "thank you". When she came out, she ran into former college classmates in the corridor, a man and a woman. They were surprised to see Yao Yuan. The school works?" Lao Qian was their college counselor.

"Well, how about you?"

The female classmate said: "He and I are both in foreign companies. It's better for you. The school work is easy and the environment is good. I really envy you."

Yao Yuan could hear the slight unkindness in the female classmate's tone. She didn't know this girl very well, but she was a little more familiar with the male classmate, because they were both cadres in the class at the time, and they often had to discuss things together. Yao Yuan is also used to being treated as an imaginary enemy by girls, so he doesn't mind it. He just told the truth: "The school is also very stressful. I write summaries and papers every now and then."

The male classmate smiled, "Well, you can marry a tall, rich and handsome man, so why do you have to work so hard?" The female classmate next to him slapped him, "Does the class girl in our class need you to worry about it?"

Yao Yuan smiled helplessly, just as he was about to say goodbye to them, Jiang Anlan happened to come out of the box, glanced at the two of them, and said to Yao Yuan, "Friend?"

Yao Yuan asked subconsciously: "Why did you come out?"

Jiang Anlan hummed, "Go to the bathroom. You have given it to your sister." He said and handed her the phone, and Yao Yuan had no choice but to answer it. As soon as Jiang Anlan walked away, she looked back far away and saw two old classmates in front of her looking at her in surprise. The male classmate first pointed to the door of the men's room, and then asked, "Is he Jiang Anlan? From the school, three years older than us?"

The female classmate was a little unbelievable, "Are you dating Jiang Anlan?"

Yao Yuanxin said that they were almost separated from each other, but no matter what happened to her and Jiang Anlan, there was no need to say anything to others, "Then I'll go there first. Goodbye." Before Yao Yuan took two steps, Jiang Anlan's cell phone rang When she got up, she took a look and saw that it was Jiang Ancheng. She didn't answer, but the police officer was very persistent, and after thinking about it for a long time, he didn't turn off the line. Yao Yuan was afraid that it was urgent, so he answered: "...he is not here now."

The person at that end was obviously a little surprised, "Oh, Yao Yuan, right?"

"Um."

Jiang Ancheng said: "Then please ask him for me, is he sure he wants to buy the house he looked at here before? If yes, I will ask someone to set up the number first." As he said, he After a pause, he said again, "Yao Yuan, An Lan cares about you very much."

As soon as Jiang Anlan pushed open the door of the box and went in, he saw Yao Yuan talking to Yao Xinran beside him. Wherever he went, he waved to him and said, "Master, here, here!"

Jiang Anlan ignored her and walked to Yao Yuan's side. The seat on the other side of her was vacant, so he sat down as a matter of course. Wherever he went, he still called him unwillingly: "Bangzhu, Bangzhu, I have something to discuss with you, please come here." Jiang Anlan still ignored it.

Yao Yuan returned his mobile phone to him, "Someone has been looking for you. Asking you about buying a house... why don't you call back and ask yourself?"

Jiang Anlan took it, and put the phone casually on the table in response. Now I walked over wherever I was, bent over and asked Jiang Anlan: "Boss, to be honest, can I go to your company for an internship after the Chinese New Year? I really want to be with the TV series "Beijing Love" Just like the protagonists in "Story", I went to the capital to fight and see. But I am completely unfamiliar with the place there, and the only big person I know is you, the leader of the gang, hehe."

"You contact Li Ao."

"Vice gang leader? Okay!" No matter where you go, you are squeezed between Jiang Anlan and Yao Yuan. After speaking, you turn your head and say to Yao Yuan, "Sister-in-law will be my boss from now on!" Huakai was ordering, and asked them all What to eat, report it up, and go wherever you go, shouting mutton and beef louvers, and left contentedly. Yao Yuan was left a little embarrassed by the "boss lady".

Jiang Anlan was thinking, where can I focus on training.

The relatives and friends of Huakai next to him have always been curious why they call this handsome man the leader. Could it be that he has acted in some TV series? An aunt asked, "Is that young man an actor?"

Eagle No. 1 laughed loudly and said, "No, he is the gang leader in our game."

"Oh, games." Auntie lost interest, but she still praised Jiang Anlan, "He looks so handsome, like a movie star."

Wherever he went, he tapped his chopsticks and said, "Hahaha, yes yes, I think our gang leader is more handsome than my idol Nick Carter!"

Yao Yuanxin said that there is absolutely no comparison between Easterners and Westerners.

Everyone was very satisfied with the hot pot that followed, especially with some wine, the atmosphere was even better. Yao Yuan didn't drink because he still had a cold. Jiang Anlan drank nearly half of the bottle of rice wine. Yao Yuan knew that he was not in good health, so he told him not to drink when he couldn't watch it anymore, Jiang Anlan smiled faintly and really stopped drinking.

When they came out of the hot pot restaurant, many people said they were going to sing in high spirits. Hua laughed and scolded: "Okay, what song do I have to sing in broad daylight? I have to go back to the shop to work, and they're all gone! Then So-and-so, they agreed to help in the afternoon."

Yao Xinran smiled and said, "Understood, I won't eat you for nothing."

Eagle No. 1 was in a dilemma, "Then can't we just eat for nothing?" As a result, many people expressed that they were going to help Huakai who had a big meal.

Huakai was happy again, "I sincerely thank everyone for their kindness. There are too many people, and my small store can't fit. It's okay, the boss and our family..." Just as she was about to order Yao Yuan, Huakai saw Jiang who was standing next to her. An Lan swallowed the words immediately. And Jiang Anlan walked over politely at this time, took out two one-hundred-dollar bills from his wallet and handed them to her, saying: "This is the meal money for me and Yao Yuan, I will take her away first."

Everyone was stunned.

Yao Yuan was also stunned, and then he was taken away by Jiang Anlan holding hands. By the time everyone reacted, the handsome guy and the beautiful girl had already walked about ten meters away.

Eagle One sighed in admiration, "Do you want to be so domineering, Boss?"

Wherever he went, he said, "Pfft, I think it's cute."

Eagle No. 1 continued, "You were spoiled by the baby."

After the two walked for a while, Yao Yuan broke away from his hand again, and she finally said that sentence: "Brother, let's forget it."

The smile on Jiang Anlan's face froze. He stood there, looking down at her, with his back to the sunlight, and the expression on his face was a little unclear, "Is it really unforgivable?" Before, he was taking one step at a time, but now he really felt hopeless. .

Yao Yuan looked down at his hands, the day and night were so long that it really seemed like a year. Seeing him today, my heart felt like being pulled by something, throbbing with pain. She said slowly: "Forgive? I won't take revenge on your family, I don't have the ability, and I won't blame you. But, I really don't know how to be with you. If I'm with you We're together, what should I call Jiang Wenhan? Uncle?" Yao Yuan, who always looked down on everything, now had a clear and identifiable heavy sadness on his face, "Brother, let's not meet again in the future."

Jiang Anlan took a deep breath, and then came up and hugged her, "Yao Yuan, why can't you just think about me? Our relationship is a matter between the two of us. What does it matter to others, even if they are our relatives? I know this is very selfish, very selfish, but I don't care. Unless you say you don't like me, well, I have nothing to say. But you don't have feelings for me, do you? Yao Yuan, I want to be with you After the rest of my life, I don’t want to break up with you because of other people. It took me so long to meet you, and I’ve come to this point with you. If I really can’t do it, it’s okay. As I said, you should be merciful Give me a shot, will you? When I beg you."

After Yao Yuan listened to his long passage, this kind of confession, this kind of firm statement, was not indifferent.

However, he was able to say that because the car accident was not his demon, and he could easily put it aside. But she can't... The day her parents were hit by a car was her birthday, and her parents happily sent her to school in the morning, and they agreed to pick her up in the evening, and then the family went to buy cakes together. That day she was full of hope that time would go faster, looking forward to her parents coming to pick her up after school to celebrate her birthday. Yet that day turned out to be the longest day of her life. She was taken out by her uncle in class, went to the hospital, and saw her bloody parents. She won't attack anyone, but she really can't cross the hurdle in her heart.

"Brother, I don't want to hate you."

When he said this, Yao Yuan felt that she hated him a little bit.

After that day, Yao Yuan didn't have any contact with Jiang Anlan anymore.

Some people say that we cannot choose our fate, what we can choose is how to face it when it comes.

And since she chose to face it like that, no matter right or wrong, she can only keep going.

During the Chinese New Year, Yao Yuan has been staying with his grandma in the countryside.

After the Chinese New Year and entering the new semester, Yao Yuan became very busy. She would participate in dinner parties with friends and colleagues, go to exercise after get off work, and prepare for the Ph.D.

She also cut her hair very short, covering only her ears. The hairdresser said that this hairstyle suits her very well and is refreshing. Yao Yuan didn't care about whether it looked good or not, she even considered whether to cut it shorter and wash her hair more easily, but she was stopped by her cousin because she couldn't stand her spoiling herself like this. Yao Yuan was speechless about this, she just had too many things to do and didn't have the energy to take care of herself.

Yao Yuan saved the file, and just after turning off the computer, the phone rang. No surprise, it was her cousin Yao Xinran. Now she always asks Yao Yuan to go out for activities together from time to time, as if she is afraid that something will happen to her alone.

"Xiaoyuan, come over to my place tomorrow, Sunday, let's watch a movie together. I just bought a set of genuine "Lord of the Rings" today, and I decided to reminisce about the beauty of my elf prince. You haven't seen it, have you? Let's watch it together , I have prepared snacks."

"Sister, I still haven't finished writing a report, and I have to hand in the next gift bag."

"No, tomorrow you have to come to me no matter what, if you continue to live in isolation like this, you can become a monk directly!"

"Okay, I'll go tomorrow, can you stop talking so outrageously?" Yao Yuan said helplessly, even saying that he was a monk.

The next day, after Yao Xinran opened the door for Yao Yuan, he dragged her directly to the TV in the living room, and pushed her to sit on the sofa, "I have prepared fruits, snacks, and tea, you can eat first , I'll put the disc on right away."

Yao Yuan shook his head and said, "Not many people still go back to buy movie discs now? Isn't it the same for watching online?"

Yao Xinran said: "Do you understand the style? Do you understand the collection? Do you understand the high-definition?"

Yao Yuan was amused, "If you had fewer romantic action movies in your computer, I'm afraid I would trust your style theory even more."

Yao Xinran laughed too, put the disc away, came back and sat beside Yao Yuan, "Can you save face for your sister?"

"All right."

The movie had already started, Yao Yuan stopped talking, slipped on his slippers and retreated into the sofa, quietly watching the TV, the movie was playing, Yao Xinran beside him was very excited with the development of the plot, but she was so calm that she was almost indifferent.

Yao Xinran glimpsed the distant expression from the corner of her eyes, and she couldn't help but sighed in her heart. She knew that her cousin had been in a bad mood these days. not come out

When the sky was dark and the lights were on, the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy finally came to a happy ending, but when the protagonist Frodo Baggins returned to the empty Bag End, facing the book that had already been written to the end, When he got up and walked aimlessly, his muttering made everything sad.

How do you regain your old life

how do you go on...

When you already know deep down that you can't go back.

some things can't be made up,

Some pains are too deep,

You will never recover...

Yao Yuan stared blankly at the TV until everything in front of him gradually became blurred.

It wasn't until now that she finally realized soberly that no matter how hard she tried, the mark that that person had left in her heart could not be erased.

The most excruciating thought is to think of it as if it doesn't exist. Sometimes you don't even know you are thinking.

After careful calculation, they have been separated for forty days, right? For Jiang Anlan, these forty days seemed to have returned to the state she had in the years of hospitalization, with no hope, depressed, and not pleasing to anyone.

One day, after playing tennis with his lobby brother Jiang Anhong, on the way to the bathroom of the club, Jiang Anhong asked him, "If you have nothing to do in the company these two days, take some time out and go outside with your third sister." Bar?"

Jiang Anlan straightened the net on the tennis racket and said, "I'm not free." Such an attitude showed that he didn't want to talk about this topic, so Jiang Anhong didn't want to say more. His fifth younger brother is capable enough, and he doesn't need to call more. He can control many things well, judge the situation, and is very smart. Grandpa once said that if Xiao Wu's health allowed, his temper was better, and he went on an official career, then his deeds might be greater than anyone in their Jiang family, but it's a pity that God can't help it. Recently, I heard from Jiang Ancheng that the relationship that Xiao Wu was talking about might have ended, so I mentioned the idea of letting him go out to relax. But looking at Xiao Wu's reaction now, he has a good idea of how to choose this relationship.

Afterwards, the two went to take a shower separately, and found a place to have lunch after coming out. Jiang Anhong was called away by a phone call on the way.

After Jiang Anlan finished eating, he went to his own place. He sat in the back seat of the car and rolled down the window. Outside, the pagoda trees and acacia trees were sprouting, full of vitality, and there were many people walking on the sidewalks on both sides. Today is the weekend, so there are a lot of people, in twos and threes, there are couples, there are old people playing with children, but he feels chest tightness watching it. Why can others live so comfortably, but he can't? It's strange, he didn't do anything harmful to nature, even if he did, it was all a matter of deceit and deceit, why did he have to live through such hardships? Jiang Anlan has just stepped into the "old age" of twenty-nine years old, but her psychology is becoming more and more distorted. He even felt like a terminally ill patient whose life was hanging by a thread. No, he is a terminally ill patient with pulmonary encephalopathy. In his twenty-nine years, because of this disease, from the age of twelve to fifteen, he spent most of his time in the hospital. When he just graduated from university, because of complications, he lay in the hospital, unable to eat, and vomited out most of what he ate. Now he doesn't know when his condition will worsen, he will become comatose, or even become mentally abnormal. Jiang Anlan closed his eyes. That time she took him to the hospital, called a doctor for him, and paid for him. He thought this person was really stupid...

"Fool, if you don't save me, nothing will happen?"

He missed it with all his heart and soul, and this kind of miss had begun many years ago.
