First snow fell today.
The dark sky reflects the orange halo, and the world is a vast expanse of white. The wind was very cold, and it was bitingly cold. If the refrigerator at home hadn't been emptied, Ruan Jiujiu would not have chosen to go out.
She dragged Cheng Juan out together.
In Ruan Jiujiu's impression, it seemed that Cheng Juan hadn't gone out for a week.
It's a day off now, and I'm still staying at home as a dead house. I'm really afraid that he will get sick from boredom, so I just find a little coolie to carry things.
Cheng Juan didn't intend to wear a coat when he went out, so he planned to go out in a thin black sweater. With a dark face, Ruan Jiujiu casually put the black down jacket she had hung on the hanger by the door on him. She was wearing a loose down jacket, which fit Cheng Juan just right.
Cheng Juan copied it into his pocket, didn't express any opinion about wearing her coat, and followed Ruan Jiujiu slowly.
The two walked one behind the other, walking much slower than usual.
Ruan Jiujiu stepped on the steps carefully.
There was a thick layer of snow, but fortunately she was wearing non-slip boots so that she would not fall. Ruan Jiujiu took a few steps and told Cheng Juan, "Be careful..."
The soles of her feet slipped, her toes rose, and she lost strength instantly and fell down on the steps, sliding all the way down with a bang. The scene could be as funny as it could be. Ruan Jiujiu was hit by the endless buttocks, but it didn't hurt. The heavy down jacket was soft and comfortable underneath, but it was a bit embarrassing.
Ruan Jiujiu looked around nervously, but she was relieved that no one around saw her embarrassment. In the next second, a clear and brief laughter was heard from behind.
Cheng Juan: "Ha."
Ruan Jiujiu: "..." How dare this dog man laugh at her? ?
She was angry and wanted to stand up, but the soles of her feet were too slippery and she fell to the ground. The non-slip boots that she had promised were just roller skates at the moment, as slippery as she wanted, Ruan Jiujiu really wanted to give the store a bad review immediately. She watched Cheng Juan go down the steps very easily, and asked in a slow tone with a puzzled expression, "Aren't you going?"
Ruan Jiujiu: "... help me."
Cheng Juan: "Oh."
Ruan Jiujiu pulled his arm and stood up slowly, patting the snow on his body. She wanted to throw a few snowballs at Cheng Juan, but considering how tormenting this guy had a cold last time, Ruan Jiujiu was afraid that he would recall what happened at the Man Han Banquet, so he decided to continue with his business.
Just as she was about to walk towards the supermarket, she caught a glimpse of a figure from the corner of her eye.
It is the figure of a woman.
On such a cold day, she was wearing a thin windbreaker, her hair was disheveled by the cold wind, and her pretty face was pale and pale as if it had been frosted, whether it was frozen or for other reasons. Her eyes were fixed on the direction of Ruan Jiujiu and Cheng Juan, motionless, dull and lifeless.
It made Ruan Jiujiu untimely think of Mrs. Xianglin in the high school textbook. The occasional round of eyeballs can also indicate that she is a living thing.
Ruan Jiujiu: "..." I'm sorry that only Ah Mao is left in her mind.
There was a strange premonition, perhaps because the presence of the other party's shocked gaze was too obvious, a person's name appeared in Ruan Jiujiu's mind for an instant.
— Xu Biying.
Could it be Xu Biying? She actually ran to another city at such a critical moment? Ruan Jiujiu really didn't understand what she was thinking.
Xu Biying stood not far away.
She originally just wanted to take a look at the familiar window downstairs.
Almost every night, the window of Cheng Juan's study would light up, as if guiding her, who was ignorant and innocent at that time, to fly to the flame step by step, losing herself in his indifference.
She came here today with the same mood. She thought she was completely relieved when she saw the lonely window.
result…
Xu Biying watched helplessly as Cheng Juan would interact with a woman, stretch out his arms to make her stand up, and listen to her as obediently as a large dog. His eyes were full of tenderness that had never been projected on Xu Biying, even a little bit.
Xu Biying's world collapsed.
She may not be able to remember other women, but Xu Biying still remembers Ruan Jiujiu's appearance clearly even if she is devastated!
This momentary realization horrified her—they didn't get divorced
Seeing the news that Cheng's company was on the verge of bankruptcy on the Internet in advance, Xu Biying planted a seed of uneasiness in her heart. Her biggest cheat is the ability to do it all over again, without this cheat, she has nothing.
She secretly prayed that this was just a small flutter of butterfly wings, and now seeing the harmonious scene between the two, Xu Biying was suddenly stunned.
The Cheng family can go bankrupt early, and Cheng Juan can not get divorced, so Gu You can also never recover from the slump, and there is no room for recovery.
The winners she knew in life could be reduced to bedbugs in an instant, forever.
Xu Biying suddenly thought of a terrible thing - what if Gu You failed to turn over? What would she do if he gave up on himself completely
Gu You is now in an embarrassing situation with many difficulties. When Xu Biying thinks that he has obeyed God's will and become an ordinary company employee, the sense of gap in his heart is infinitely magnified. Especially when she saw that although Ruan Jiujiu was dressed very simply, he was wearing branded goods all over his body.
compare yourself. Her family conditions are mediocre, and Gu You would occasionally give her things, but none of them were very valuable.
Xu Biying felt a little cold, she couldn't even turn around and continue to treat Gu You well.
Standing at the bottom of the steps, Cheng Juan followed Ruan Jiujiu's gaze, and then looked away disinterestedly.
He said slowly, "Go."
At this point, you can still buy oden in 24-hour convenience stores.
Cheng Juan has already thought about what he wants to eat.
Ruan Jiujiu came back to her senses, she was even more sure when she saw that the other party was frozen in place. That woman should be Xu Biying. In her memory, Cheng Juan was divorced a long time ago. I don't know how she feels when she sees Ruan Jiujiu.
Ruan Jiujiu was not afraid of Xu Biying.
Xu Biying has no red envelope group, no portable space, no beauty system, and no opportunity for a Shura field. Her only way is to cling to Gu You tightly, like a dodder flower, so as not to wither.
In contrast, Ruan Jiujiu finished reading the book, which was more accurate than what she knew about the plot.
"Walk, walk, I'm freezing to death."
When they walked a long distance and their figures disappeared, Xu Biying was still a little lost.
How should she continue on this path
…
Ruan Jiujiu copied it in his pocket, but he was also a little absent-minded.
After all, every time I read the original text, the impact of the hero and heroine is not so great.
Cheng Juan beside him suddenly said, "Stay away from her."
"Her?" Ruan Jiujiu immediately understood who Cheng Juan was referring to.
Ruan Jiujiu asked, "You know each other?"
Cheng Juan shook his head.
If Xu Biying hears this, I'm afraid she will die of anger. How many times she hinted at Cheng Juan, but she didn't even have the slightest impression of her!
The most important thing is that Cheng Juan really shook his head sincerely, instead of pretending not to know each other.
Ruan Jiujiu: "..."
If she had a crush on Cheng Juan, she might be so angry that she would die on the spot.
Thinking of this, Ruan Jiujiu suddenly became interested. She put her shoulder on Cheng Juan's arm: "Hey, have you never been in a relationship before?"
Cheng Juan glanced at her and didn't bother to answer.
Ruan Jiujiu asked without giving up: "What about the person you like, you have to have one? There is no youth without love."
Cheng Juan asked quietly, "You have?"
Ruan Jiujiu immediately put on a nympho face: "When I was in college, there was a little singer on campus, super handsome! It was the girl in the whole department who was obsessed with it... Hey, slow down!"
Cheng Juan's footsteps quickened suddenly, making Ruan Jiujiu immediately forget what he was talking about, and rushed to catch up.
She is so afraid of the dark that she must not be two meters away from Cheng Juan!
Cheng Juan's life experience is a mystery to Ruan Jiujiu.
I don't know what kind of past he has gone through to become his current personality, but Ruan Jiujiu can imagine that it will definitely not be a very good memory. Ruan Jiujiu could probably confirm from the few words he heard from his stepmother, Qu Wei, that the only thing Cheng Juan missed was his dead mother.
She had already imagined the scene where Cheng Juan was bullied and envied by boys because of his slow personality at school.
During the lunch chat, Tu Nan accidentally revealed a key piece of information.
"Cheng Juan and I are classmates. We went to the same school in high school. I went abroad in college, but I also have some contact with him."
"High school classmates?"
Ruan Jiujiu was startled: "Then do you know what he was like in high school? Could he be bullied as I imagined!"
Tu Nan choked on what he was about to blurt out.
He looked at his little sister-in-law who was as innocent as a little white rabbit, thought for a while, and decided to swallow the real story. Women are emotional animals. They like to pity the weak most and are most easily moved by men. If the sister-in-law treats the boss well, his life will be easier too.
Tu Nanshun climbed up the pole, and said sadly: "No. How pitiful it is. His life is hard."
Bad life!
Who doesn't know the man of the year.
Tu Nan continued: "Recently, the alumni of the founding school have returned, and we will all go back. Old...Old Cheng probably will go."
Since Cheng Juan was in high school, his life has become more and more impersonal. It is clear that he still had some human touch before. Tu Nan looked worried, and felt that the slow-moving relationship between the two was worrying for them. He only hoped that Ruan Jiujiu would know more about Cheng Juan, so that Cheng Juan could better get out of himself.
Tu Nan's misfortune caused Ruan Jiujiu's love to overflow.
Ruan Jiujiu returned home, looked at Cheng Juan who was sitting on the sofa, and suddenly became cautious.
She patted Cheng Juan on the shoulder and asked softly, "What do you want to eat? Are you tired today? Let's talk about life?"
Cheng Juan was silent for a moment, then suddenly stood up.
Ruan Jiujiu thought he was moved by him.
Unexpectedly, he walked to a familiar place and picked up the same familiar... thermometer.
Cheng Juan: "Measure."
Ruan Jiujiu: "You're cool, really."
