Chapter 268: Early or Later
Shen Congyu's words made the atmosphere between the two even quieter.
Jiang Xilin was surprised, but also seemed to be expected.
Actually, if you put it this way, neither of them took advantage of the other.
He was silent for a long time before he said, "Even if I agree, it doesn't mean we will go our separate ways from now on."
"Yes, I know. I just don't want to talk about the past anymore and analyze who is right and who is wrong, and who is sorry for whom." Chen Congyu clenched his hands in his pockets and continued, "I want to let nature take its course in the future, okay?"
Jiang Xilin stared at her motionlessly, "Isn't this just letting things take their course?"
If Chen Congyu said it didn't count, it meant that she didn't intend to let him continue like this.
Chen Congyu knew it well, but he still had no say.
"I will remember your kindness in helping me find my aunt, but let's not talk about the things before that."
Jiang Xilin did not answer, but raised his head and smiled faintly.
His reaction was not very fluctuating, which was somewhat beyond Chen Congyu's expectations. He seemed too calm.
She wanted to add something, but Jiang Xilin suddenly asked, "You said before that you didn't believe me. What about now? Have you changed your mind?"
“…Yes. But…”
"That's all right."
Yes, there is, but that doesn’t mean I have to agree to him.
Jiang Xilin didn't want to hear her speak so bluntly.
He stood up, his back facing Shen Congyu, and said, “Let’s go.”
Shen Congyu followed, but she had been sitting for too long without changing her posture, so her legs were a little stiff. She staggered and was hugged by Jiang Xilin.
Their bodies collided lightly, and even through her winter clothes, Chen Congyu could still clearly feel the strength of his arm. She subconsciously reached out to support his chest, then withdrew her hand in disappointment after stabilizing herself.
"Thanks."
"Can you walk?"
"fine."
The car drove to the door of the restaurant and Shen Congyu sat in the passenger seat. She wanted to know what the arrangements would be, but when she saw Jiang Xilin's face, she held back.
He is so bland.
It made her feel uncomfortable.
Jiang Xilin drove out of the restaurant. He didn't tell Shen Congyu where he was going, but after walking for more than 20 minutes, she realized that this was the way home.
Jiang Xilin said, "I will move back to Jinghu later, and the house opposite yours will remain there."
It was actually not as convenient for him to go to work there as it was to live in Jinghu, so Shen Congyu nodded in understanding.
When they arrived downstairs of her house, Jiang Xilin stopped the car. Shen Congyu naturally wanted to get out of the car, but Jiang Xilin did not move.
"Sit in the car for a while."
Chen Congyu didn't expect it and took back the hand that opened the door.
She waited for Jiang Xilin to say something to her. At least she felt that he was going to do more than just have a meal with her tonight.
However, Jiang Xilin said nothing and even answered a phone call to handle work.
Chen Congyu was getting a little hot from waiting.
As she was changing her posture, she heard Jiang Xilin say, "I'm going to Xingcheng tomorrow."
Since recognizing the Jiang family, Jiang Xilin would occasionally go there, and Shen Congyu didn't take it seriously and nodded.
Jiang Xilin turned and looked at her. "Do you want me to come back sooner or later?"
"That must be according to your arrangement."
Jiang Xilin lowered his eyes to hide the disappointment in them.
Then the car fell silent again.
Shen Congyu could hardly sit still, Jiang Xilin unlocked the car, "You go back."
Chen Congyu pursed her lips. She didn't expect that he asked her to accompany him for one night, but now he would let her go back.
She left the shawl behind and got out of the car.
He said he wanted to move back to Jinghu, and it seems like he won't live here anymore from today on.
The garage was cool, and Shen Congyu shuddered unconsciously when she got out of the car. She glanced inside the car and saw Jiang Xilin with his head down. The light from his cell phone screen shone on his face, and the cold light made his expression look dull.
She gathered her clothes and quickly disappeared from Jiang Xilin's sight.
