The atmosphere froze for a moment.
"Xiao Yu'er, so?"
Qin Chuan greeted him warmly, as if this was really just a chance encounter.
"Third brother." She responded with a chuckle
Gu Xiuyuan had difficulty breathing, and his hands and feet were a little out of control, so Qin Chuan pulled him over.
Getting closer...
I can see it more clearly.
Closer...
My heart aches even more intensely.
It's not like he hasn't fantasized about meeting these three people by chance.
Although he had always watched from afar and avoided "encountering" her, he secretly hoped that one day he could meet her and see his beloved up close...
The hands in his trouser pockets were clenched tightly.
From the moment I saw her, everything around me seemed to disappear.
He could only see her, and could only hear his own nervous heartbeat, and... the sound of his heart bleeding.
Mu Ran never expected to meet him at this time. She looked at her friend worriedly, but Xiao Yuer looked calmer than she thought.
Ji Shuyu slowly loosened her clenched hands under the table and then stood up.
It's not that I didn't think we would meet, and I also thought about how to deal with it, but I never thought that the encounter would be so sudden.
His appearance seemed to have not changed at all, but he seemed to have become a completely different person, becoming mature, calm, or... a little depressed.
As he got closer, Gu Xiuyuan's breathing seemed to stop.
Looking at the face in front of him that he had been thinking about day and night, his chest tightened a little with every step he took, as if an invisible hand was strangling his throat. He wanted to speak, but no sound came out.
Qin Chuan spoke first, as if they were in the past, as if all the unpleasantness had never existed.
"I was planning to treat you to dinner tomorrow, but I didn't expect to meet you again now. Wanna go together?"
He asked, already sitting down.
Mu Ran frowned. It was obvious that Qin Chuan did this on purpose.
The atmosphere was indescribably awkward. No matter how hard Qin Chuan tried to liven it up, it gradually became dull.
"Long time no see." Ji Shuyu spoke first.
Gu Xiuyuan's heart twitched.
See, this is what he hopes for the most and what he fears the most.
When they met again, his beloved said to him calmly, "Long time no see," and asked, "How are these clothes?"
My throat seemed to be blocked, and after a long time, I finally uttered a few words with difficulty: "Long time no see."
Ji Shuyu curled her fingers a little tighter, and the discomfort in her chest was sharp and short, so fast that she couldn't tell whether it was an illusion or not.
Mu Ran felt depressed and stuffy in her chest, and she wished she could throw them both out of the room.
Qin Chuan looked at his friend anxiously several times, but he didn't even look at him. He was like: If the emperor is not anxious, I will be anxious to death...
Pah!
He complained to himself in his heart.
But he took the trouble to arrange this encounter. Isn't this kid Gu Xiuyuan too calm?
He winked at Muran, but Muran didn't move.
In her eyes, these dogs are all of the same character: self-righteous and selfish!!
She didn't want to give him any chance.
Qin Chuan became anxious.
"Ranran, please do my third brother a favor." He said, pulling Mu Ran away.
Looking at his back, Ji Shuyu chuckled in her heart: It's really not deliberate at all!
She couldn't eat the food in front of her, so she took a sip of water to suppress the tightness in her chest.
"I have something else to do, so I'll leave first." Ji Shuyu broke the silence first.
"Xiao Yu." Gu Xiuyuan called anxiously.
I hadn't planned to meet her from the beginning. I was stunned and didn't know what to say, but I still remembered the name that was deeply engraved in my heart.
Ji Shuyu didn't respond, but she didn't get up and leave either. She looked at him with a look on her face that said: Is there something wrong?
There was no emotion in her eyes, as if they had the kind of relationship where even if they were separated, they could still sit down and have a meal and chat when they met.
This means you don’t care!
His heart was beating violently, and Gu Xiuyuan clenched and unclenched his hands, but in the end, he couldn't say anything except that name.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Ji Shuyu didn't care and stood up with a chuckle.
"Then I'll be leaving first."
She didn't say 'goodbye' because she knew she would never see him again.
They don't need to avoid each other, nor do they need to have no contact with each other forever, but... it seems that there is really nothing to say.
Gu Xiuyuan stood up immediately afterwards.
I really want to hold her close, like hug her, but...
But he could only watch her in his sight.
In fact, it’s nice to be able to see it up close like this.
As long as she is fine, everything is worth it.
If she lets go, she will no longer feel pain and can start a new life.
Really, that's good...
…
Qin Chuan was waiting outside, and originally wanted them to chat about something, but within two minutes he saw Ji Shuyu come out.
"Xiao Yuer." Qin Chuan urgently stopped her as she was about to get in the car.
Ji Shuyu looked at Qin Chuan and knew that it was he who facilitated the "merger".
She wasn't so ungrateful as to blame him for this, but she really didn't need such kindness.
"Xiao Yu'er, can't you and Xiuyuan have a chat?"
Qin Chuan felt heartbroken and regretful.
"You've seen how Xiuyuan has been. He's not doing well since he separated from you."
"Third brother, it's over." Ji Shuyu said half-jokingly, "Maybe if we hadn't separated, he might be in a worse situation."
“…”
"When are you coming? Let's have dinner together!"
"Small……"
Before Qin Chuan finished speaking, she had already gotten into the car.
The Huo family's car left.
He looked up and saw Gu Xiuyuan leaning against the door smoking.
He sucked hard, mouthful after mouthful.
In the shadows, the red flame between the fingers trembled slightly...
…
late at night
There was a heavy storm outside the window. The rain came so hard and fast that even the night view outside the window was hazy in the rain and fog.
I don't know who parked the car under the tree, and the willow branches swaying in the wind were hitting the car body wildly.
The alarm sounded for a long time, making Ji Shuyu unable to sleep.
"Mom~"
Hearing her daughter's voice, Ji Shuyu turned around.
Looking at Zao Zao's bare feet, she hurried forward.
"Mom, are you unhappy?" Xiao Zaozao was a little worried.
"No." Ji Shuyu smiled and shook her head.
No matter how busy or tired she is, she will never show negative emotions in front of her baby, but children are sensitive after all.
"Then why don't you go to bed?" Zao Zao stretched out her soft little hands and held her mother's face. "Do you want me to tell you a story?"
"Okay~"
Ji Shuyu picked up her daughter.
When I returned to the room, Chenchen was sleeping soundly with his little butt sticking up.
Maybe he was exhausted after playing all afternoon, and he was still mumbling about what he wanted to bring home to his mother.
Ji Shuyu kissed her son's little face, and then hugged her daughter in her arms.
"Baby, what story do you want to tell me today?"
"Well, let's talk about the story of Snow White and the Prince..."
"Really? That's great."
Ji Shuyu gently stroked her daughter's fluffy little head.
My daughter's soft voice quickly soothed the anxiety brought by the storm.
…
The rain was so heavy that it didn't stop until the next day.
Mrs. Gu sent a video and told them not to rush and that if they were rushed this time, they could find another time to do it.
When she heard that they were coming to see her, her grandmother returned to the old house early to make her feel more at ease.
The old woman had been looking forward to this meeting for a long time, and she couldn't bear to disappoint her grandmother, so she waited until the rain subsided a little before taking the two children out.
Ji Shuyu originally wanted to leave after eating, but the old lady was always happy every time she saw the two babies.
She couldn't bear it any longer, so she asked the driver to go back home first and pick them up later.
Ji Shuyu watched the car leave, and soon another car drove into the yard.
That is Gu Xiuyuan's car.
