"Leaving tomorrow?"
"Um."
Xihe was helpless: "Is the Northwest really that good? Is it worth giving up everything for you?"
In fact, what she wanted to ask more was, after all these years, could she still not forget that man? Even though he never agreed to her from the beginning to the end? Is such a hopeless love really worth it? And Jiang Yu...
Tai Shu smiled and looked up at the sky: "The desert, the Gobi Desert, the vast sky, the Northwest is better than I imagined."
Turning to look at Xihe: "Sister, I have fallen in love with this place."
She spent two years as a graduate student and three years working. Except for the holidays, she has been staying in the northwest. She came back this time because Xihe was getting married.
The woman was dressed in red, passionate and flamboyant, completely different from the cute girl who loved to play the role of a green tea girl many years ago.
Xihe's eyes were full of complexity: "Then you and Jiang Yu..."
Tai Shu's eyelashes trembled, and she lowered her head to look at the hem of her skirt. After a long while, she said, "It depends on fate."
The sky was cloudless, and the leaves in the yard were gradually turning yellow. In the distance, two men were walking side by side. One of them was handsome with a smile on his lips, and the other was as beautiful as a woman, with a cynicism in his eyes.
The two turned around and saw Yan Ke and Jiang Yu.
"Little Taitai!"
Jiang Yu's face lit up with joy and he strode over.
Xihe sat in her original position, watching the man come forward and squat in front of Tai Shu, touching her leg. "How do you feel? Are you feeling well?"
Tai Shu shook her head and said, "No, it's fine."
She was wearing a long red skirt, and her calf was wrapped in a bandage under the hem, which was the result of an accidental injury she had sustained earlier. Jiang Yu nodded, leaned over and picked her up, and said to Xihe and the others, "It's getting late, so we'll leave first."
Yan Ke took Xihe's hand and said, "Okay, we'll take you there."
All the way from home to the airport, Jiang Yu sent the person to the ticket gate. Pushing the wheelchair and holding a suitcase in his hand, he said to the two of them, "Just send her here. Don't worry, I will take good care of Tai Shu."
Tai Shu also smiled and said, "You guys go back, be careful on the road."
Xihe looked at her: "Okay, call me when you get there."
Tai Shu nodded and watched them leave the airport hand in hand, their backs intimate. She turned to Jiang Yu and said, "Let's go too."
Jiang Yu carefully protected her during ticket checking and boarding.
The plane flew high into the sky, and the feeling of weightlessness brought by the sudden rise made Tai Shu subconsciously close her eyes. The next second, her hand was tightly held by another hand. She tilted her head, and the man's eyes were shining in the darkness.
Tai Shu: “…”
She pursed her lips and looked away.
What's so good about her? Is it worth it year after year?
After more than two hours of flight, they finally landed at Q City Airport. Jiang Yu pushed her out of the airport and took a taxi home. After entering the house, he turned on the hot water for her to take a bath.
In front of the bathroom door, he didn't dare to look up: "I'm just outside, call me if you need anything."
Tai Shu nodded and said "hmm".
She took off her clothes, letting the warm water wash over her body. She breathed a sigh of relief and slowly closed her eyes. More than half an hour later, she coughed lightly, and the man outside the door immediately said, "Are you ready? Then... I'm coming in."
He entered the bathroom, glanced at Tai Shu quickly, and lowered his head: "I'll carry you out."
The person was wrapped tightly in a large bath towel and then pulled out of the water. The woman's snow-white arms and calves were exposed to the air. Jiang Yu controlled his gaze and did not dare to look around.
There was a dim light in the bedroom. Jiang Yu put the person on the bed and hurried out.
After everyone in the room had almost changed their clothes, she knocked on the door and walked in with a hair dryer: "I'll blow-dry your hair." As usual, she ran her fingertips through the smooth hair, drying it bit by bit.
The scent of peach blossoms is refreshing.
Jiang Yu blew gently, afraid of hurting the hair. When the hair became dry at his fingertips, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, I'll pour you a glass of milk later, and then go to bed early."
Tai Shu nodded, grasped the corner of his clothes with her fingertips, and looked up.
Jiang Yu was stunned: "What's wrong?"
Tai Shu curled her fingertips, pursed her lips, and opened her lips: "Jiang Yu."
Jiang Yu looked at her and nodded: "Yes, I'm here."
Tai Shu stopped talking.
Jiang Yu looked at her, his gaze moving from her slender white fingertips to her snow-white face. His heart moved slightly, but he was afraid that he had misunderstood.
He slowly squatted down and looked up at her: "What's the matter?"
The bedside lamp was dim, and the man's facial features were already outstanding, and now they were even more charming and beautiful. His eyes looked at her intently, as if she was the only one in his eyes.
Tai Shu pinched and unclenched her eyelashes with her fingertips. Finally, she raised her hand and placed it on the back of his hand: "I can't sleep, you..."
Jiang Yu: "I'll accompany you!"
After saying this, his face turned red and he stared at Tai Shu closely, afraid that she would be angry.
Jiang Yu pursed his lips and said carefully, "I'm in the living room. If you're scared, you can call me anytime. Okay?"
Tai Shu looked at him and saw that he was gradually showing uneasiness on his face, then she lowered her eyes: "Please take me in." Jiang Yu was stunned for a moment before he reacted.
He quickly got up, opened the quilt, carried the person to the center of the bed, and let go: "This place is..."
Someone held my neck and the woman's beautiful fragrance filled my nostrils.
Jiang Yu: “…”
This time he was completely frozen in place.
Tai Shu raised her face and gently touched the tip of his nose, her breath lingering on his: "Kiss me."
Jiang Yu's eyes widened instantly, and he lowered his head to look at her in disbelief. However, the woman's eyes were filled with determination, and Jiang Yu was speechless.
He opened his mouth: "Tai Shu..."
Tai Shu looked at him: "After tonight, I might regret it."
Jiang Yu's heart pounded, and an inexplicable emotion rose from the bottom of his heart, so sour and bitter. He tilted his head: "Tai Shu, I don't need your pity, do you understand?"
He never thought about getting anything in return for everything he did, and he certainly didn't want her to feel sorry for him.
Jiang Yu took a deep breath and slowly stood up: "I admit that I love you, very much. Maybe I will only love you in this life. But Tai Shu, I don't need anyone's pity, and I don't feel sorry for myself."
He let go of her hand: "So, you don't have to do this."
Jiang Yu suddenly felt weak, and an indispellable emptiness swept over his body. He pursed his lips, lowered his head and stood up from the bed... someone grabbed his wrist.
Tai Shu's gaze was pressing: "Do you think I'm pitying you?"
Jiang Yu looked at her without saying a word, but his eyes were filled with deep sadness.
Tai Shu: “…”
She exerted force on her hand, and Jiang Yu, taking into consideration her injured leg, was pulled in front of her with the force, nose to nose. Tai Shu glared at him: "For all these years, who else has been by my side besides you? Do you think I'm pitying you?"
Jiang Yu looked away: "You just couldn't be with him..."
"Jiang Yu!"
Jiang Yu pursed his lips and continued, "I know I can't compare to him, but I don't want to be your compromise. I don't want to be second best to you. Tai Shu, I also have dignity."
Tai Shu: “…”
