Waiting for the Stars to Fall

Chapter 51: Reach the stars

Views:

When he was young, Jiang Tu was lonely and cold. He hid Zhu Xingyao in the deepest part of his heart. He could do anything for her silently, but he didn't dare to pursue her or say that he liked her. At the same time, he was selfish and ugly. He once reported her and Lu Ji for having a premature love affair. Later, when he heard that she and Lu Ji broke up in a foreign country, he selfishly hoped that she would not fall in love again. Whether it was when he was young or in the years that followed, he had imagined countless times how he should tell her if he had the chance.

—He has liked her for many years.

Zhu Xingyao held the necklace in her hand, staring blankly at the man in front of her, her head feeling dizzy.

Jiang Tu took a deep breath and looked down at her: "I know we haven't seen each other for many years, you don't have to tell me anything now. It's late, go back and go to bed early." He let go of her shoulders.

Anyway, he has been waiting for so many years.

He had just returned and didn't expect her to nod immediately, so he could continue to wait.

Zhu Xingyao was in a mess and she looked at him with red eyes.

Jiang Tu leaned back, opened the car door and got out, took out her cello from the back seat, and the gifts everyone had given her. Zhu Xingyao had already gotten out of the car, the night breeze blowing her skirt, he put the cello on her shoulders, handed her the gift, and whispered, "Go home."

Zhu Xingyao bit her lip, lowered her head and whispered, "Yeah."

The lights in the villa's living room were on. Zhu Xingyao opened the door and walked in, and saw Ding Yu coming down from upstairs.

She looked up and asked, "Mom, did I wake you up?"

"I woke up and went to see if you were back. I saw that your door was open." Ding Yu smiled, walked to her side, helped her take down the piano, and smelled a faint smell of alcohol on her body. "Have you been drinking? Go take a shower quickly. I'll heat a cup of milk for you later."

"You go to sleep first, don't worry about me." Zhu Xingyao said.

Ding Yu drove her upstairs. Zhu Xingyao had no choice. After she got into trouble, they cared for her and protected her more than when she was a child. When she came out of the shower, Ding Yu came in with milk and an exquisite brocade box in her hand. She put the box on the table and said, "This is the birthday gift your father chose for you."

Zhu Xingyao opened the box and was stunned when he saw what was inside.

Ding Yu asked: "Don't you like it?"

Zhu Xingyao shook her head: "I like it, I like it very much." However, she just received a similar one, also with a star-shaped pendant, this one is bigger, and the one given by Jiang Tu is smaller.

"Try on the necklace tomorrow. Go to bed early after drinking the milk. It's already 2:30 in the morning." Ding Yu touched her head, and she walked out, closing the door.

Zhu Xingyao put the two necklaces into her jewelry box. She had a lot of necklaces, most of which were star-shaped pendants. When she put down the milk cup, she glanced at the jewelry box and suddenly remembered the interview she had after her only concert last year.

Reporter: "Some fans have noticed that the necklace you wear every time you go on stage is almost always star-shaped. Does this have any special meaning?"

Zhu Xingyao was stunned, touched the pendant, and smiled: "It's a habit. When I'm nervous, I will wear a star-shaped pendant. I think it's a lucky star. This time, I had a solo concert again after two years. I prepared for a long time and was a little nervous, so I wore it."

Did Jiang Tu watch her interview

There was little traffic on the road late at night. When Jiang Tu was halfway on the road, a WeChat message popped up on his phone.

Lin Jiayu: "Please tell me the result. I have kept the secret for you for so many years. Is it easy for me?"

Her last message was: "'Confession Balloon' is for you and Zhu Xingyao."

Previous post: "Zhu Xingyao asked me if I knew you liked her! [Shocked]."

Jiang Tu parked the car in the underground garage, picked up his phone, looked at Lin Jiayu's WeChat, and replied with his head down: "You don't have to guard it."

He added: "Thank you."

He put his phone down, leaned back in his seat, took off his glasses, and rubbed the marks left by the frames.

Lin Jiayu was stunned when she saw his message. What did "no need to keep it secret" mean? Did it mean that she could say whatever she wanted? Or did it mean that she could release her novel and continue writing

Lin Jiayu excitedly jumped off the bed and ran to turn on the computer.

The next morning, Zhu Xingyao received a message from Li Xixi, saying that she had returned to work. Li Xixi was busy preparing for a new album, so Zhu Xingyao asked, "Have you reconciled with Xu Xiangyang?"

Li Xixi replied with a crying expression: "No."

After a while.

Li Xixi: "Sometimes I think that Xu Xiangyang and I may have dug up each other's ancestral graves in our previous lives, and this life is the time to pay back the debt. He coaxed me last time, and this time I will go back and coax him."

In the afternoon, Jiang Tu received a sudden notice of a business trip. He prepared his luggage in the office and went directly to the airport with Lao Yuan and two colleagues from the R&D department.

Before he boarded the plane, he sent a WeChat message to Zhu Xingyao.

Old Yuan just glanced at him and saw him reporting his business trip to someone. He asked curiously, "You still report your itinerary to someone? Can I be curious about who it is?"

Jiang Tu put down his phone. If he said it was Zhu Xingyao, Lao Yuan would probably keep asking questions and discuss it with Du Yunfei all night, and he wouldn't have to work anymore. He said calmly, "If there's a chance, I'll introduce it to you and Du Yunfei later."

Old Yuan pondered his words and looked at him in shock: "Fuck, you don't have a girlfriend, do you?"

Jiang Tu lowered his eyes: "No."

Haven't caught up yet.

When I got off the plane in the evening, the other party sent a driver to pick me up and we went to have dinner first.

Sometimes this world is really small. Jiang Tu and Lao Yuan walked into the restaurant after being received by the other party’s person in charge.

The restaurant was on the fifth floor and several people were waiting for the elevator.

After a while.

Another group of people came behind me.

The leading man was tall, young, and handsome. He was talking to the person next to him. The person in charge turned around and greeted him with a smile: "Lu Ji, what a coincidence, you are here tonight too?"

Jiang Tu was stunned for a moment, looked back, and his eyes met Lu Ji who was walking over. Lu Ji was stunned for a moment, and Jiang Tu narrowed his eyes.

In short, both of them looked unhappy.

However, Jiang Tu has always been a person who can control his expression. After being surprised for two seconds, his eyes calmed down.

The elevator door opened and a group of people walked in.

The person in charge enthusiastically introduced Jiang Tu: "This is my college classmate Lu Ji. I didn't expect to meet him by chance. They are in the software development field, so they are half of the same industry as us."

Old Yuan is a friendly person. He is very outgoing and he quickly extended his hand with a smile: "Hello, hello."

Lu Ji shook hands with Lao Yuan and looked at Jiang Tu again.

The person in charge said: "Oh, this is Jiang Tu, it's..."

Lu Ji interrupted him: "No need to introduce, I know you."

Old Yuan and the person in charge were both stunned. Old Yuan smiled and said, "Ah? You know each other? This world is really small. How did you know each other?"

Jiang Tu retracted his gaze and said calmly, "High school classmate."

The author has something to say: I feel like everyone's impression of Tu Ge is still stuck on the secret crush on campus, he has grown up~
