Chapter 267 You Say
Shen Congyu also wanted to put aside all the mess and have a simple meal, but she always felt that something was wrong with Jiang Xilin.
He was so focused that she felt uncomfortable.
Jiang Xilin told her about her certification exam. The results would be out this month, and after getting the certificate, she would be able to move up a level in her career. Although it had been delayed for several years, now as long as she put in the effort, she would be able to move forward.
Talking about this now, Shen Congyu couldn't help but feel emotional. She shifted her gaze from Jiang Xilin's face to the window.
Looking at the lights in the distance, twinkling brilliantly, the most prosperous night scene of Haicheng was in full view. Before, she was just a tiny figure among them.
As Jiang Xilin was speaking, she suddenly mentioned that if she had not gone abroad, her career would have surely been steadily rising.
Shen Congyu came back to her senses and met Jiang Xilin's gaze. She lowered her eyelids and said, "If I hadn't gone abroad, I might not have been engaged in this line of work... Forget it, let's not talk about such hypothetical things."
If she hadn't listened to Father Shen at the time, she would probably have suffered setbacks in her work, just like Jiang Xilin at the time.
It’s hard to imagine what if situations.
Jiang Xilin raised his glass and clinked it with hers. Then, in the candlelight on the table, he changed the subject and asked her, "Do you want to watch the fireworks at the hour here, or go to the harbor?"
Haicheng will set off fireworks at several designated locations three days before and after New Year's Day. Chen Congyu was busy last night, and there were too many people outside at this time, so she only saw the video posted by someone on WeChat Moments.
Chen Congyu: “There should be a lot of people these days, so let’s just forget it.”
"Don't worry, I can arrange it."
"Let's stay here."
It's cold by the harbor, definitely not as comfortable as here.
What's more, the perspective of watching the fireworks from the top of the mountain is quite fresh.
Besides, you can see far away from here and even the harbor.
The food in the restaurant tasted good, just like Shen Congyu's taste, and gradually, her mood calmed down.
Talking about Xue Mingrui, she asked Jiang Xilin about the matter between Xue Mingrui and the original case.
Jiang Xilin frowned as he listened, obviously not aware of the conflict between the two.
"The original case didn't tell me, but I can probably guess why they did it," Jiang Xilin paused for two seconds before saying, "The original case has recently fallen in love with a woman."
Shen Congyu was shocked.
She stopped what she was doing and said doubtfully, "I thought he and Ruirui..."
Yes, it is normal for her to think so. After all, Yuan An and Xue Mingrui have known each other for so many years and have a very good relationship. But to be honest, the two have never mentioned being in a relationship. It’s just that people who know them assume that they like each other.
Unexpectedly, a bomb exploded suddenly.
Jiang Xilin: "They are not together. The original case happened not long ago. I'm not sure if it's because of this. But they haven't had such a fight before. I guess there is a high probability."
Chen Congyu recalled Xue Mingrui's tone when he called. It was very dull, but there was no crying tone.
If you say she likes the original case, she hasn't mentioned it for all these years. If you say she doesn't like it, it doesn't seem likely.
The original case was even more difficult to guess, as he was not one to show his emotions.
"I contacted Ruirui this afternoon. She said she would talk to me when she has time in the next few days."
Jiang Xilin: "Well, listen to what she thinks. I'll also ask about the original case and tell you later."
Shen Congyu nodded.
She was worried that if Xue Mingrui really liked Yuan An, and now that Yuan An had someone he liked, Xue Mingrui would definitely feel very uncomfortable.
When something like this happens...
Because they had promised Jiang Xilin to accompany him for one night, no one was in a hurry during the meal and they finished the meal slowly and leisurely.
There is a courtyard in the restaurant, which is a good place to watch the night view. Jiang Xilin told the people in the restaurant in advance that after the meal, he would take Chen Congyu there.
After all, it was outdoors and at night, so Shen Congyu put on her coat, and the two tall figures walked from the restaurant to the courtyard one after the other.
In the quiet courtyard, there are layers of tree shadows, the air is cool, and the lights are not very bright, creating a sense of atmosphere.
Shen Congyu sat down first on the bench, and Jiang Xilin sat down beside her at half an arm's length. Then the manager came over and handed her a shawl.
As if Jiang Xilin had arranged it, he took it and handed it to Shen Congyu.
Chen Congyu was stunned for a moment, but still took it.
"Thanks."
The shawl was soft and comfortable, and had a faint fragrance. Chen Congyu was wearing a coat, and she would definitely feel cold if she sat here for a long time.
She understood what Jiang Xilin meant, silently wrapped the shawl around herself, and then put her hands in her coat pockets.
In a few minutes, the fireworks started.
At such a time, in such an atmosphere, looking at the clusters of scattered fireworks, the night view, and the sea view, it seems that everything in the field of vision is gorgeous and brilliant, and it is easy to immerse yourself in it unconsciously.
The light brought by the fireworks floated up and down, reflecting on people in bright and dark ways, just like Jiang Xilin's gaze as he looked at her.
The fireworks display lasted for twenty minutes. During these twenty minutes, Jiang Xilin and Shen Congyu did not speak until the display ended and the world returned to silence.
Chen Congyu felt a little cold on her face, and unconsciously shrank into her shawl. She heard Jiang Xilin ask, "Are you cold? Do you want to go?"
Chen Congyu turned to face him and said, "Wait a minute, I have something else to tell you."
"you say."
He was very focused, even though he didn't think what Shen Congyu was going to say was a good thing for him.
Chen Congyu took a deep breath before saying, “Let’s not talk about the past anymore, okay?”
