Su An stopped suddenly.
Because of her hunger strike, she developed chronic stomach problems, so she hasn't eaten desserts or anything like that for a long time to avoid stomach discomfort.
But……
Looking at the small and cute strawberry cake, Su An's mind suddenly uncontrollably recalled the time when Su Xulin once insisted on picking strawberries for her.
"elder brother……"
Su An's heart trembled slightly, and he suddenly walked over uncontrollably.
When she came to her senses, a small piece of strawberry cake was already lying quietly on her plate.
She put down the tongs, turned around with her plate, and found a quiet corner to sit down.
The happy mood that had been there before seemed to have sunk to the bottom of the lake in an instant, and could no longer stir up any waves.
The memories of her life with her brother in the past surged back like a tsunami, eroding her nerves.
Su An mechanically picked up the dish and put it into his mouth, but his eyes were always fixed on the small piece of cake.
In fact, from the first day she arrived, she had always wanted to visit her former residence.
I even wanted to contact the police in front of my brother to ask if there was any news about him.
After all, her brother has not been found yet, although she knows that the hope of him being alive is slim.
But she didn't dare.
She was afraid of falling into an emotional whirlpool and being trapped in those painful memories again, unable to extricate herself.
That's why I have been avoiding it.
But, for some reason, she suddenly had a strong urge to go and take a look.
There is my brother's favorite small garden and his favorite cake shop...
She still remembers that every time she went there, there were always a lot of people in the store.
Later, she seriously studied how to make cakes for a while.
But the taste is far inferior to that in the store.
Thinking of this, Su An gently picked up a small piece of cake and put it into his mouth.
The strawberries are sweet and the cream melts in your mouth.
But it’s not the taste my brother likes in my memory.
Su An suddenly felt a little sore in his eyes.
Then he suddenly became alert again, thinking that there were many people around. He quickly wiped his eyes with the back of his hand, ate two mouthfuls of rice quickly, and then got up and left.
Then I stayed in the office absent-mindedly for the whole afternoon.
Gu Jingchen didn't suddenly assign any tasks.
Almost as soon as it was time to get off work, she got up and left.
Half an hour later——
Su An looked at the familiar street in front of him and pulled the car over.
She did not choose to go directly into the community, but wanted to take a walk around.
It’s been less than a year since I left, but many of the shops along the road have changed their appearance.
Su An walked slowly along the street, looking at everything around him with some nostalgia in his eyes.
Then I saw a familiar mother and son holding hands and about to enter the community.
Su An's eyes lit up instantly and he stopped subconsciously.
That's her former neighbor!
Mrs. Chen and her son!
Su An followed the backs of the mother and son, and then he saw the little dumpling who was still very small in his memory. He had grown a lot taller and was talking happily to Mrs. Chen next to him.
She was holding a piece of cake in her hand, and the logo on the box was exactly the cake shop she wanted to go to.
Su An stood there, silently watching the two people walk away.
Only when their figures completely disappeared did she let out a long sigh and continue walking forward.
Just around the corner was where she wanted to go.
I wonder if my brother's favorite chocolate cake is still available today?
It would be a shame if it sold out...
She wanted to taste his favorite flavor again.
Su An thought about it and couldn't help but quicken his pace.
I saw him reaching the corner of the street.
But just at this moment——
A figure suddenly appeared from the corner!
The two people were very close to each other and were walking quite fast.
By the time Su An realized that they might collide, it was too late.
Even though she braked suddenly and took a step back in time, she still felt her foot stop and stepped hard on the other person!
"Feel sorry……"
Su An hurriedly apologized and subconsciously looked at the other person's shoes that he had stepped on.
The next second——
"Assistant Xia?"
A voice that couldn't be more familiar rang in my ears.
Su An was pinned to the ground in an instant.
Her eyes suddenly widened, and she almost wondered if she was dreaming.
Did she... hear it right?
Why does this voice sound so much like Gu Jingchen?
How did he get here?
And she happened to meet him?
Su An suddenly thought that when he got off work today, he would go to Gu Jingchen to ask if there was any other work.
But the other party did not come to the office.
She understood something instantly and dared not look up anymore.
I even prayed silently in my heart that the other party didn't recognize me.
But things don't always go as we wish.
Su An then heard Gu Jingchen continue to ask in surprise, "Assistant Xia, what are you doing here?"
Gu Jingchen's tone was heavy, and he looked at Su An with suspicion.
Whenever he was in a bad mood or missed An An very much, he couldn't help but take a walk around here.
The same is true today.
But why is Xia Xiaomo here too?
Gu Jingchen looked at the silent person in front of him with a somewhat tense expression.
Her back looks like An An.
Her smile gave him an inexplicably familiar feeling.
Now, she appeared in the place where An An once lived.
Is there really such a coincidence in this world?
What is her relationship with An An?
"Xia Xiaomo, let me ask you a question."
Gu Jingchen's voice was deep again, and his tone was already a little unhappy and a bit threatening.
Su An didn't look up, but swallowed subconsciously out of nervousness, his heart clenched.
what to do……
Gu Jingchen is not a fool.
He had someone investigate her after seeing the last photo.
Even after so long, he never mentioned this matter again. He must have had an answer long ago, and his suspicion of her was lifted.
But now, how should she explain it?
Su An's fingertips nervously grasped the hem of his clothes. He couldn't think of an answer, but he didn't dare to remain silent for too long, so as not to arouse greater suspicion. He was anxious and angry.
I even regretted making the risky decision to come here and take a look today.
A while——
She finally said helplessly, "Boss Gu, I didn't leave work early, I left according to the regulations..."
Su An's voice was obviously nervous, and she deliberately acted as if she was afraid that Gu Jingchen would suspect that she was slacking off during work hours.
Gu Jingchen was also stunned when he heard this, and a dark light suddenly flashed in his eyes.
That's clearly not what he was asking!
Did she really not understand, or was she pretending not to understand?
Gu Jingchen didn't say anything, but the suspicion in his eyes grew heavier.
After two seconds of silence, he pressed on, "If I remember correctly, your profile says you live in an apartment near the city center. How did you end up living in a place completely opposite to your home?"
