Chapter 66 2 (4)

Hotel, I'm going back."Chen Ju turned around and walked towards the dark path outside the county seat.

Steady footsteps came from behind, Jiang Zhou followed closely behind, Chen Ju quickened his pace, and he also quickened his pace, haunting him like a lingering ghost, the scene of Jiang Zhou and Xiaoyun whispering during the meal appeared in front of his eyes, Chen Ju's heart was filled with complicated emotions for a moment, and he didn't even understand what it was. He clenched his fists and turned around.

"Don't follow me anymore!" Chen Ju said with red eyes, staring angrily at Jiang Zhou behind him.

Jiang Zhou has never seen such an angry man. Before, even if Chen Ju was angry again, he just looked at him sadly and wronged. Those round eyes have never been like this, and there is no shadow of himself when he is angry and angry..

Jiang Zhou started to panic, he shouldn't have listened to the girl, and played tricks on the man, but apart from this, he really didn't know what to do, the man in front of him seemed to leave him at any time, without a trace of nostalgia.

The picture of the bathtub full of blood came to mind again, and fear shrouded his heart like a nightmare. Jiang Zhou reached out and grabbed Chen Ju's arm in a panic, and said anxiously: "I'm sorry, I was wrong, little orange, I'm sorry, I won'tLie to you again."

Under the thick night, Jiang Zhou's face was pale, his eyes were full of panic and bewilderment, like a frightened child, he held Chen Ju's arm tightly, and his voice trembled: "I'm really sorry, I'm not sure.Will do something like this again.”

Seeing Jiang Zhou like this, Chen Ju felt a little confused. If it was fake, that man's acting skills were too real, but if it was true, he would be as arrogant and conceited as Jiang Zhou, and he would really hurt himDo you feel regret and guilt for what you did?

While thinking, Chen Ju caught a glimpse of the tears on Jiang Zhou's face, as if he had been struck by lightning in half, his eyes widened in shock, and he stared blankly at the incredible scene in front of him.

Jiang Zhou actually cried?

Tears were falling down the corners of his eyes, and there was an unreal illusion on Jiang Zhou's handsome face, like a beautiful scene in a movie.

Chen Ju stopped when he was about to tear Jiang Zhou's hand away, and did not continue to move. He turned his head so that he would not look at the man's face, and told himself in his heart that this was just a man's disguise, and it was easy for him, without expending any effort.

"Let me stay by your side, don't drive me away, okay?" Jiang Zhou's voice was low and hoarse, and the last sentence was almost inaudible, "I can't live without you."

If he couldn't see Chen Ju, he couldn't guarantee whether he would go crazy. More than a month ago, Jiang Zhou contacted Song Yuan and asked him to pick up Chen Ju. Although he didn't like Song Yuan, he knew countless people and knewSong Yuan is the best candidate, he can take better care of Chen Ju than himself.

So he watched Song Yuan take Chen Ju away, but he underestimated Chen Ju's position in his heart, and after only one day, he began to miss Chen Ju crazily.

On the second day, he began to have hallucinations. No matter what he was doing or where he was, whenever he looked up, he would see Chen Ju and himself in the same space, doing his own things quietly. On the fourth day, Jiang Zhou could no longer do anything, as long as he closes his eyes, he will see Chen Ju lying in the bathtub surrounded by a pool of blood.

The blood in the bathtub was so red and dazzling that Jiang Zhou could even smell the thick bloody smell. Chen Ju lay so quietly in the bathtub, feeling no breath, as if he was dead.

Death, the thought made Jiang Zhou wake up from his dream, he didn't dare to fall asleep again, a huge fear shrouded his heart, he felt that he was going to lose Chen Ju.

This feeling tormented Jiang Zhou like a ghost for half a month. Finally, he couldn't bear it anymore and went to find Chen Ju.

Originally, he just wanted to watch from a distance, but people's desires are always endless. Seeing Chen Ju's smile at Song Yuan, Jiang Zhou's heart throbbed, and he was about to be overwhelmed by jealousy.

How much he wanted to catch Chen Ju back, tie him up with a rope, and only let him move within the range of his sight.

But in the end, the love for Chen Ju awakened his rationality, he couldn't do this, he wanted to say sorry to Chen Ju, he had to protect the man well, so that his next life would be smooth and he wouldn't suffer any more.

The lacrimal glands seemed to have collapsed when saw Chen Ju who committed suicide that night. As long as think of the scene of that night, the bathtub full of blood, tears will fall down uncontrollably.

"Little Orange, don't drive me away, please." Jiang Zhou clutched Chen Ju's sleeve, looked at the man with tears in his eyes, and begged.

Chen Ju's heart seemed to be knocked by something, and he felt palpitations. He forced himself to look away from Jiang Zhou, and said in a flat tone, "Let go."

"No." Jiang Zhou refused to let go, and stubbornly grabbed Chen Ju's sleeve, his slender fingers arched, and blue veins burst out on the back of his hand.

"If you don't let go, don't follow me anymore." Chen Ju said with a cold face.

Jiang Zhou was stunned, and after a few seconds, he raised his head in surprise, looked at Chen Ju, then let go of his hand in a hurry, and said, "Aren't you going to drive me away?"

"It's just tonight." Chen Ju turned around and walked towards the dark front, "Tomorrow, please leave here by car."

Jiang Zhou only heard the first half of the sentence, followed Chen Ju's footsteps, walked on his left, helped him block the cold night wind, and asked, "Is it cold? Let me put on your clothes, I'm fine."

As he said that he was about to take off his coat, Chen Ju immediately refused: "I'm not cold, you wear it yourself!"

"Okay." Jiang Zhou showed a doting smile, looked at Chen Ju with burning eyes, and said, "If you feel cold, tell me."

Jiang Zhou's face-changing speed was faster than flipping a book. One second he was still crying, and the next second he was following behind him with a smile on his face. Chen Ju was now sure that the man's acting skills were really superb.

When the two reached the village, they saw a black high-end car parked in front of the second grandfather's house from a distance. Chen Ju looked puzzled and didn't notice Jiang Zhou with a gloomy face beside him.

Rival meet

As soon as they walked to the door of the house, Song Yuan in a white down jacket came out, and the three of them met each other. Song Yuan's gaze stayed on Jiang Zhou for a moment, and then fell on Chen Ju, showing a bright smile.Stepping forward, she hugged Chen Ju in her arms and gave him a big welcome hug.

"Brother Chen! Great, finally seeing you!"

Chen Ju was always at a loss for Song Yuan's enthusiasm, neither pushed it away nor accepted it, so he could only open his hands, smiled awkwardly, and said, "Why are you here?"

Song Yuan accepted it when he saw it, and when Chen Ju was about to feel uncomfortable, he let go of his hand and said with a smile: "I'm worried about Brother Chen, so I want to come and accompany you for a while. When your business is over, I will pick you up by the way."Let's go back together."

After finishing speaking, he saw Jiang Zhou behind him, with a surprised expression on his face, and said, "Master Jiang, why are you here?"

Jiang Zhou paused for a while, didn't say the last word, and kept silent. He didn't know what to say so as not to make Chen Ju angry, so he finally chose not to say.

Without looking behind her, Chen Ju said to Song Yuan, "It's cold outside, come in quickly."

"Hey, Brother Chen~" Song Yuanle followed Chen Ju into the house.

Song Yuan was able to speak well, and he was more active than Jiang Zhou. In a short time, there was a burst of laughter in the room, and even Chen Ju, who hadn't smiled for a long time, couldn't help laughing.

Jiang Zhou was uncharacteristically quiet, sitting some distance away from Chen Ju, his eyes following the man all the time, in this lively atmosphere, he seemed to be a marginal figure who didn't belong here.

Suddenly the second aunt's voice sounded abruptly. She reached out and grabbed Jiang Zhou's wrist, and said enthusiastically, "How is it? You went to the county town with Xiaoyun today, what do you think? Has she decided to talk to either of you?"

People in their 50s and 60s always speak directly, without any twists and turns. Suddenly, all the attention in the room turned to Jiang Zhou. Song Yuan looked at him with surprise and excitement, and asked, "Yes?"Ah, yes, you are so handsome, Miss Xiaoyun should have taken a fancy to you, right?"

There are people Chen Ju cares about here, Jiang Zhou is not easy to show his face, he bent his lips to show a faint smile, and said, "Xiao Yun regards us as friends, and he doesn't mean that."

"Ah? Not for you, nor for Xiaojuzi?" The second aunt looked at Chen Ju, "I think either of you and Xiaoyun are fine, Xiaoyun is a good girl."

Chen Ju was taken aback when he saw that the topic was thrown on him. Just as he was about to speak, Jiang Zhou answered for him first.

"Actually, Chen Ju has always had someone he likes, and he only regards Miss Xiaoyun as a friend."

Chen Ju's face was surprised at first, and then turned into anger. He raised his head and looked at Jiang Zhou angrily. What did he mean by that?

Jiang Zhou did not restrain himself because of Chen Ju's gaze, and continued: "He is too embarrassed to tell his aunt, so let me tell you, I hope you don't have to introduce him to him in the future."

The second aunt laughed and said, "That's it, fine! Whatever you like is fine!"

"Yeah, you actually have someone you like, so you don't say anything." Cousin patted Chen Ju on the shoulder, "But, if you like someone, go after him, otherwise you won't have a place to cry!"

Chen Ju pursed her lips, tightened her palms, looked away, and said, "I don't like it anymore, but I don't have any ideas to talk about recently."

Everyone was quiet for a few seconds, then my cousin patted Chen Ju's shoulder knowingly, "No hurry, don't worry now."

After eating, because the room was limited, Chen Ju slept in the same room with his cousin, and Song Yuan and Jiang Zhou shared the same room.

"Young Master Jiang doesn't mean anything," Song Yuan sat on a chair and looked at Jiang Zhou. Under the light of the incandescent lamp, the man's face was pale and handsome, "I'm also the second young master of the Song family.to-go existence."

Jiang Zhou sat quietly by the bed, checking the text messages accumulated in his mobile phone, as if what Song Yuan said was just the chirping of mosquitoes.

Song Yuan walked in front of Jiang Zhou, the cynical expression on his face was gone, and he said seriously: "I don't know what you think, but about Brother Chen, you stepped back and gave him to me first, Brother Chen didn'tObjects, if you don’t want it, don’t want it, if you want it, you have to, this time I won’t go back.”

At this time, Jiang Zhou raised his eyes, and his indifferent eyes exuded a cold light. He looked at Song Yuan, and said word by word: "I will not give him up to you."

"Okay, let's compete fairly this time." Song Yuan raised the corners of his lips and smiled again, "See who Brother Chen will choose, don't play any dirty tricks."

Jiang Zhou frowned, his face darkened, he stared at Song Yuan for a few seconds, then stood up suddenly, left the room without saying a word.

fair play?There is no such word in Jiang Zhou's heart. Chen Ju belongs to him from the beginning, and it will always be his now and in the future, and there is no possibility of competing with others.

Jiang Zhou originally wanted to smoke a cigarette, but as soon as he came out, he saw Chen Ju standing next to the gardenia tree in the yard. He immediately put the cigarette back and walked forward in two steps.

"Why don't you sleep?" Jiang Zhou took the initiative to say hello. Before he said hello, he prepared the result that Chen Ju would not respond, so when Chen Ju didn't speak, he didn't feel very disappointed, and continued, "I ran away today.One day, go to bed early, or are you not used to the bed over there?"

"Stop talking." Chen Ju said suddenly, turned his head, and Jiang Zhou realized that his eyes were red.

"What on earth do you mean?" Chen Ju's palm clenched into a fist was deeply sunken by nails, and the pain kept him sane, "I let you go, don't you understand human speech?"

"Little Orange, I..." Jiang Zhou wanted to wipe the tears off Chen Ju's face, but he stretched his hand halfway and then retracted it. He lowered his head heavily and said in a hoarse voice, "I'm sorry."

"You don't need to say I'm sorry." Chen Ju took a deep breath. Although the tears were still there, the expression on his face was unwavering indifference, which Jiang Zhou had never seen before. He looked at it with those eyes that were red from crying.Looking at himself, he paused word by word, "We don't owe each other anymore, Jiang Zhou, isn't this what you always wanted?"

Jiang Zhou was stunned, his head seemed to be hit hard with a stick, buzzing, and went blank. He opened his eyes slightly and looked at the man in front of him, as if he didn't understand what he meant.

"Auntie left because of me. Now, my mother is gone too. You should be satisfied, right?" Chen Ju stared at Jiang Zhou, and finally said what had been suppressed in her heart during this time. Compared with pain, she said it out loudThe instant refreshment made him feel even more terrifying. He seemed to be a different person. Looking at Jiang Zhou's painful appearance, he felt a little pleasure, as if this could relieve the depression in his heart.

What emotion is this?Strange emotions that he had never had before screamed in his blood like a demon, trying to swallow him up and become a strange self.

"Jiang Zhou, I won't accept your apology, just like you never accepted mine," Chen Ju stared at Jiang Zhou, tears streaming down his face, this was the first time he cried during this period, but his expression seemed to be indifferent, indifferent and decisive, "I hate you, you killed my mother, I don't want to see you again in my life, get out of here!"

The picture in front of me is like a movie picture with a speed of 0.25 times. Chen Ju’s words are like bullets shot from the muzzle of a gun, splitting the airflow, moving slowly in the air, and then suddenly accelerating in the next second.An invisible speed shot into Jiang Zhou's chest.

The blood burned the blood vessels as if boiling, and the pain spread from the internal organs. Jiang Zhou's face turned pale. He stood there in a daze, unable to think, unable to make any movements, and unable to utter a word.Voice, just looking at Chen Ju.

"Go! I don't want to see you!" Chen Ju stretched out his hand to push Jiang Zhou emotionally, "Get out, don't come again, tomorrow is my mother's funeral, I don't want to see you!"

"Little Orange," Jiang Zhou rolled his Adam's apple up and down, making a trembling and hoarse voice, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

Tears rolled down from the corners of his eyes as he pushed and shoved. He grabbed Chen Ju's hand and put it tightly on his chest, as if this would let him know his remorse and guilt.

Chen Ju's strength was nothing in front of Jiang Zhou. Even with all his strength, he didn't push Jiang Zhou away. Because he was worried about waking up others, he could only hold his throat and cry silently.

"Hit me, little orange, you can hit me however you want, as long as you feel calm." Jiang Zhou grabbed Chen Ju's hand and slapped himself across the face.

After the bang, a red mark appeared on Jiang Zhou's face. Chen Ju whimpered, stretched out his hand and pushed Jiang Zhou away, took a step back, squatted down slowly, hugged his head, and begged: "I beg you, Jiang Zhou, please go, please go, please..."

Jiang Zhou stood where he was, his hands that wanted to help Chen Ju were as heavy as lead. He lowered his eyes and quietly looked at the man who was squatting on the ground begging. His eyes were red and tears were streaming down his face.

After a long while, Chen Ju heard the footsteps gradually receding, and then the creaking sound of the door opening and closing, and then the yard became quiet again, except for the rustling gardenia leaves blown by the wind, there was no sound.

He raised his head, there was no one in front of him, Jiang Zhou left, he finally left.

I don't know if it's because I knew that my mother's funeral would be held tomorrow. The sky had been clear and cloudy, but it began to rain heavily at night, and it didn't ease until noon the next day.

Chen Ju was wearing black clothes, a white cloth dress and hat, and a hemp rope around his waist. He was holding a small box containing his mother, sitting on a low chair, and looking up at the door.

"Brother Chen, drink some hot water." Song Yuan sat next to Chen Ju with a cup of warm water.

I know it's my husband who got sick to save himself

"Thank you." Chen Ju took the cup and drank the water inside.

Song Yuan sat next to Chen Ju and didn't say a word. He didn't ask why Jiang Zhou didn't come back last night, and he didn't ask when the funeral would start, but just quietly accompanied Chen Ju.

After the simple ceremony, Chen Ju put her mother in a small box on the mountain. After a night of rain, the mountain was filled with the fragrance of soil and green grass, crackling firecrackers sounded on the muddy mountain road, white smoke andThe fog in the mountains was intertwined, covering the road in front of me, and everything around me seemed to be in a dream, without any sense of reality.

Did mom really leave? Was he going to be a human being when he left here?How did my previous self survive?He couldn't remember, and he didn't have the strength to think about it.

No, he doesn't want to be alone...

Many people from the village came to the second grandpa's house. Everyone gathered to chat and eat to conclude the funeral. Song Yuan was pulled over to help, but no one noticed. Chen Ju stepped into the darkness alone.

The rain did not know when it started to fall again, getting bigger and bigger, covering the sight in front of him, but Chen Ju didn't feel it at all, and ran towards the mountain, stepping on one puddle after another, and the muddy sewage splashed all over his trouser legs.

Mom, mom, don't leave me, I don't want to be alone...

The new tombstone was washed clean by the rain, and the name printed on it was clearly visible. The fruits and bouquets placed in front of the tombstone had been wet by the rain, and the original appearance could not be seen clearly.

Chen Ju was drenched all over, his hair stuck to his forehead, and the rainwater flowed down his hair in strands. He slowed down and walked to the tombstone step by step.

With a muffled splash, Chen Ju knelt in front of the tombstone. The cold muddy water soaked into his knees instantly, and the cold penetrated into his bones.

There was no warmth in the cold tombstone. He closed his eyes, stretched out his hand tremblingly, caressed the tombstone, and pressed his forehead against the stone surface.Touching his forehead, coaxing him softly.

In a daze, Chen Ju seemed to see his mother, and stretched out his hand towards him. Two streams of heat flowed down from the corners of his eyes, and soon mixed with the rain. He opened his hands and embraced his mother.

Jiang Zhou rushed to the tombstone on the mountain and saw the scene in front of him. His heart felt as if it was going to burst. The pain was so painful that he couldn't breathe. The thin and small man curled up in a ball, holding himself tightly with both hands, as if he was a baby back in his infancy.

"Little Orange..." Jiang Zhou squeezed out a dry and hoarse voice from his throat, and could hardly stand up. He slowed down and walked up to Chen Ju step by step, half kneeling on the ground, his hands trembling.Unable to exert any strength.

He reached out and picked Chen Ju up from the muddy tombstone, holding him tightly in his arms.

"Mom, mom, I don't want to be alone, don't go, okay?" Chen Ju's face was pale, and he murmured in a low voice, his brows were furrowed, and he looked very uncomfortable. Suddenly, he opened his eyes while holding Jiang Zhou's clothes,Yuanyuan's eyes were red and filled with tears. He just looked at Jiang Zhou like that, and said aggrievedly, "Is it because I am disobedient, so you want to abandon me? Then I will be obedient, work hard, study hard, and don't cause trouble.OK, okay?"

Thousands of razor blades were stuffed in his throat, and the sweet smell of rust filled his mouth. Jiang Zhou tightened his palms, and tears rolled down one after another, hitting Chen Ju's face. He closed his eyes, stretched out his hand to hold Chen Ju's outstretched hand in mid-air, and said in a hoarse voice: "Okay, I promise you, I won't leave you alone."

Hearing the response, Chen Ju finally let go of her tightly locked brows, smiled tearfully, and pressed her cheek against Jiang Zhou's arms, rubbing against each other like a kitten, then closed her eyes, and fell into a deep coma again.

Jiang Zhou took off his coat and covered Chen Ju's body. The heavy rain showed no sign of shrinking. It hit his bare skin like a sharp piece of glass, which hurt painfully.

He hugged Chen Ju, stood up, and walked down the mountain step by step. As soon as he reached the foot of the mountain, he saw a bunch of flames in the distance, and then Song Yuan and Chen Ju's cousin appeared in front of him, and they walked quickly in the direction of Jiang Zhou.step by step.

"Chen Ju!"

"Brother Chen!"

Chen Ju had been in a deep sleep for an unknown amount of time, and there was nothing in the dream. When he was about to wake up, he seemed to see a pair of eyes, which belonged to a man, staring at him sadly and mournfully, and thenHe heard a sentence: "Little Orange, I will not leave you alone."

Just like that, Chen Ju woke up, opened his eyes and saw the white ceiling, he knew that he was back again, from his mother's tombstone, back to this painful reality.

But this time, he felt a sense of relief that he had never felt before, as if something had been placed on the mountain by him.

"Brother Chen!" Song Yuan's worried face came into view. He leaned forward and said anxiously, "How do you feel? Does your headache hurt? I'll call the doctor, wait a minute!"

As he said that, Song Yuan ran out in a hurry. After the doctor came over, he gave Chen Ju a brief examination, and said that there was nothing wrong, but that he had suffered from the wind and cold, and he needed to take good care of it for a while.

Song Yuan was still worried, so he called the doctor over there, and then said to Chen Ju, "Brother Chen, let's go back, there is a better doctor over there who can treat you."

Chen Ju wanted to say no, but he suddenly realized that he had no reason to stay here. His mother's funeral was over, and he had disturbed the second grandfather's house for a long time, so it was time to leave.

"Okay." Chen Ju nodded.

After saying goodbye to the second grandfather's family, Chen Ju got into Song Yuan's car at night and drove to City A. He fell asleep in the car, and in a hazy dream he returned to the mountain and lay in front of his mother's tombstone.

Suddenly, a pair of hands hugged him, and in his blurred vision, he saw a man's face, warm liquid mixed with rainwater dew on his face, Chen Ju knew that it was a man's tears, and he also knew that a man's tearswho is it.

When she wanted to see some men's faces clearly again, Chen Ju opened her eyes and woke up from the dream. The rustling sound of rain came from outside the window, and the rain outside was still falling.

"Brother Chen, what's the matter? Sleep for a while, it's not here yet." Song Yuan pulled the blanket for Chen Ju and said in a low voice.

Chen Ju looked at Song Yuan and said, "Did you bring me down from the mountain?"

Song Yuan froze, the expression on his face changed visibly, he lowered his eyes, silence permeated the dark and narrow workshop, after a while, a low voice sounded.

"It's Jiang Zhou. When we found out that Brother Chen was missing, we went to the back mountain to look for it. As soon as we arrived at the foot of the mountain, we saw Jiang Zhou hugging you. In the heavy rain, he wrapped you tightly with his coat."

Chen Ju was stunned, and there was a sudden throb somewhere deep in his heart. He looked at Song Yuan and didn't say a word for a long time.

So that dream was true, but wasn't Jiang Zhou driven away by him the night before?Why did it appear on the mountain again?

"Brother Chen, are you going to find him?" Song Yuan asked, his wet eyes were like a puppy, staring at Chen Ju eagerly.

Chen Ju woke up suddenly, looked away in a panic, looked at the blanket covering her body, and said in a low voice, "No, I don't want to see him."

"Even if he is sick because of Brother Chen, won't he go?" Song Yuan asked again.

Chen Ju's heart tightened for a while, Jiang Zhou was sick?That's right, under such heavy rain, he is still running a fever. No matter how healthy a man is, he will still get sick.

Seeing that Chen Ju didn't answer for a long time, Song Yuan lowered his eyes in disappointment, turned his head, looked out of the window, and said in a low voice: "Brother Chen, no matter what you decide, we will be good friends, but I hope you give me an answer."Chance."

Chen Ju raised his head and stared at Song Yuan blankly. He didn't understand what he was talking about for a moment. Suddenly, Song Yuan came over. Before Chen Ju could react, he felt a softness on his lips. Soon, Song Yuan moved away.He looked at Chen Ju with serious and firm eyes.

"Brother Chen, I have liked you for a long time."

"Ah?" Chen Ju was in a dazed state, her brain seemed to have stopped spinning, she stared blankly at Song Yuan, did he have auditory hallucinations?How could he hear Song Yuan say that he likes himself, oh, he knows, the love Song Yuan said should be the love between friends, after all, Song Yuan said that they have always been good friends before this.

"Oh, I see, I like you too." Chen Ju pursed her lips and said, "Thank you for your care during this time, if you need any help in the future, just tell me, I will definitely try my best to help you."

"No, the liking I said is not the same as the liking that Brother Chen said!" Song Yuan grabbed Chen Ju's hand and looked at him with a serious expression, "I like the kind of liking that I want to be with Brother Chen for the rest of my life."

Chen Ju was stunned, and his ears were buzzing. It took him a while to react, his cheeks suddenly turned red, and his whole body was burning hot, as if the fever in his body had risen again.

Song Yuan likes him?He never thought about this possibility. From before to now, he has always regarded Song Yuan as a friend. When he suddenly heard the news, he was in a state of shock and bewilderment.

"Yes, I'm sorry, I..." Chen Ju stammered, not knowing what to say.

"It's okay, brother Chen doesn't need to apologize to me, it's not about brother Chen," Song Yuan interrupted Chen Ju with a soothing smile, "Brother Chen just needs to know that I like you, then I willTry to make Brother Chen fall in love with me!"

Chen Ju's cheeks flushed, and she wanted to say no, but Song Yuan's scorching gaze made him not know what to say.

Fortunately, after Song Yuan finished speaking, he switched to other topics, and Chen Ju secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

When they arrived in City A, Song Yuan sent Chen Ju to the hospital for a full body checkup to make sure everything was fine before going out.

After dinner with Chen Ju, the company had something to deal with, Song Yuan had no choice but to leave, leaving Chen Ju to stay in the ward, because he was worried, he called his personal bodyguard to take care of Chen Ju.

I miss my husband a little bit

After Song Yuan left, Chen Ju sat alone on the hospital bed, quietly looking at the shadows of the trees under the dim light outside the window, and those sad eyes appeared in front of his eyes again. He was thinking about what Song Yuan said all the way.The boat carried him down from the mountain.

"Little Orange, I won't leave you alone." The words heard in this dream kept echoing in his ears, making it impossible for Chen Ju to tell if he really heard it or if it was really just a dream.

After a night of sleep, Chen Ju felt much better, and he didn't have any burns on his body. Just in the morning, the sun outside was bright and warm, and it shone warmly on his body. The haze left by the heavy rain for the past two days was swept away. Looking atThere was a bustling food stall outside the window, and Chen Ju suddenly wanted to go outside to enjoy some fresh air.

Thinking of this, he also put on his shoes, put on a down jacket, and came out of the ward. The bodyguard standing beside him hurried forward and asked, "Is there anything I can do for Mr. Chen?"

"It's okay," Chen Ju pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "I want to go out to relax by myself, and buy breakfast by the way, do you want to eat?"

The bodyguard was stunned for a moment, and quickly said, "No, thank you, Mr. Chen."

"It's okay, I'll bring you a copy." After Chen Ju finished speaking, she nodded at the bodyguard and turned to go to the other end of the corridor.

Stepping out of the gate of the hospital, the hustle and bustle of the city rushed in front of me. There were many fruit vendors on the side of the busy road, and many snack vendors gathered in an empty corner. Many people stopped and lined up to buy food.

Chen Ju crossed the road and walked over. The fragrant smell came to his nostrils, arousing his long-lost appetite. Chen Ju couldn't help swallowing, and walked to a stall selling fried stinky tofu.

"How much does such a copy cost?" Chen Ju asked.

The man was busy, when he heard Chen Ju's voice pause, he suddenly raised his head, his eyes met, Chen Ju showed a surprised expression, Li Qing's expression was even more surprised.

"Chen Ju!" Li Qing immediately burst into a bright and enthusiastic smile, "Why are you here?"

After speaking, he noticed the hospital gown in Chen Ju's coat, and immediately showed a worried expression on his face, and asked, "What's going on? Are you sick?"

Chen Ju quickly said, "It's nothing, it's just a common cold."

After Li Qing completed the orders of several paid customers, he stopped taking orders, put a rest sign in front of the booth, which looked decent, then grabbed Chen Ju's wrist, and put himPull it into the van you load yourself with.

"Brother Qing, why do you..."

"Set up a stall here?" Li Qing took the words, laughed, and waved his hands, "I'm here to start a business~ I always work in hotels, and I can't make much money. Some time ago, I thought about setting up a stallWell, it happened that Chef Li had something to go back to his hometown, and a new chef came here, who saw me unhappy every day, and confronted me, I really couldn't do it anymore, so I put down my burden and left."

Li Qing spoke calmly, then looked at Chen Ju: "What about you? Why can't I get in touch on the phone? When I met you, you were in the hospital again. Did something happen to you?"

Chen Ju paused for a while, lowered his head, took a deep breath, showed a forced smile, and said, "My mother passed away. I took her back to my hometown for a funeral these few days before I came back."

As soon as he finished speaking, a big palm suddenly covered his head, and then his hair was messed up. Li Qing stretched out his hand and hugged Chen Ju into his arms, patted his back lightly, sighed, and said: "ThisYou have worked hard for a while."

Chen Ju's body trembled, and then heat gradually welled up in his eyes, and the suppressed tears rolled down. He buried himself in Li Qing's arms, trembling all over, and cried out.

After crying for an unknown amount of time, his emotions finally calmed down, and the depression that had been stuck in his chest dissipated a lot. This was the first time in two months that he felt that he was still alive.

They chatted a lot in the van, and Chen Ju didn't know what he was talking about, he just said whatever came to his mind, and during this period he concealed Jiang Zhou's existence.

"What are your plans for the future?" Li Qing asked, "Are you going to do anything?"

Chen Ju shook his head and said truthfully, "I don't know."

"I really don't have anything to do. Do you want to start a business with me?" Li Qing raised her eyebrows with a smile on her face, "My brother will pay you, but don't think it's too little. After all, you can't earn that much at the beginning.~"

"Show, set up a stall? I don't know..." Chen Ju stammered.

"Of course not, setting up a stall is just an overkill." Li Qing suddenly approached with a mysterious expression on his face, "That boy Yan Qiu didn't know why, but he was kind enough to give me hundreds of thousands. I plan to use this as start-up capital. The three of usOpen a snack bar, I'll be in charge of the back kitchen, you'll be in charge of the reception, and Yan Qiu will be in charge of the bills."

"But, I..." Chen Ju hesitated, he didn't have the confidence to do well.

Li Qing slapped Chen Ju heavily on the shoulder, interrupting Chen Ju's hesitation, and said, "What are you afraid of? With my brother here, you must have something to eat."

Chen Ju's eyes were still red, and his eye sockets were slightly hot. He nodded slightly and said, "Okay, thank you Brother Qing."

"Do you want to eat a bowl of stinky tofu? Brother fried it, I am very confident in the taste~"

Li Qing fried a big stinky tofu for Chen Ju alone, and took him to a nearby place to buy some food, before sending Chen Ju back to his ward.

"What do you want to eat tonight? I'll bring it to you." Li Qing asked before leaving.

Chen Ju thought for a while and said, "I want to drink preserved egg and lean meat porridge."

"Okay," Li Qing rubbed Chen Ju's head, "Brother will buy it for you."

In the afternoon, the door of the ward opened, and Yan Qiu appeared at the door with a Pai Daxing doll under one arm and fruit in the other hand. When he saw Chen Ju, he paused, stepped forward, and put thePai Daxing put it beside Chen Ju's bed, and said, "Let him sleep with you."

"Thank you Brother Qiu." Chen Ju was a little embarrassed, her cheeks were slightly hot, "I'm not a child anymore."

"How much younger you are than Li Qing and me, no matter how long it has been, you are still a child in our eyes." Yan Qiu bent his lips and said, he put the fruit on the table and said, "Do you want to eat oranges? I'll peel one for you."

Chen Ju's nasal cavity was sore, she nodded, and said in a small voice, "Thank you Brother Qiu."

"Why are you talking about this? Come on, eat yourself." Yan Qiu would always say some inappropriate jokes with a serious face, making people wonder how to react, whether to laugh or pretend not to hear.

Fortunately, Chen Ju had worked in a bar before, so he was no stranger to Yan Qiu's behavior, so he took the orange and said thank you.

Yan Qiu was different from Li Qing, he was cold and quiet, and he didn't talk much, but staying with him was very comfortable, and he didn't have to deliberately find topics to liven up the atmosphere.

Yan Qiu took one of his mobile phones, found a chair and sat next to it, and watched cat and mouse with Chen Ju.I was attracted by the plot in a while, and it was dark in a while.

When Li Qing and Song Yuan came in together, what they saw was the scene of Chen Ju and Yan Qiu watching cat and mouse. Seeing someone coming, Yan Qiu yawned, stretched, picked up the phone, and said:"I'm going to the bathroom."

When he walked past Li Qing, he suddenly grabbed Li Qing's wrist, Li Qing raised his eyebrows, and just about to speak, Yan Qiu pulled him out involuntarily.

"Stay with me."

"A high school student? Do you want to go to the bathroom with you?" Li Qing broke away from Yan Qiu's hand in dissatisfaction, and said speechlessly.

"Chen Ju's situation is not quite right, it's better to have someone by his side during this time." Yan Qiu said.

Li Qing was stunned, and the expression on his face suddenly became serious: "Then what should we do? Should we hire him a psychiatrist?"

"His condition needs to be rectified slowly." Yan Qiu stopped and looked down at Li Qing slightly.If you don’t read books on your mobile phone, accidents will easily happen if you stay in this state for a long time.”

Li Qing frowned and said, "You're right, I also feel that Xiaoju is not as energetic as before. Then tell me, what can we do?"

Yan Qiu stretched out a slender finger, held it upright in front of Li Qing's eyes, and said, "You pay me one hundred yuan a day, and I will accompany Chen Ju. I just stayed in your little room during this time, and my bones are sore., very boring."

Li Qing was stunned for three seconds, then took two deep breaths, told himself not to be angry, not to be angry, then raised his head, pulled the corners of his mouth, and said through gritted teeth: "Why do you want me to give you a hundred dollars? Xiaoju is not youfriend?"

"He is my friend, but so are you," Yan Qiu said, "You pay me a hundred yuan, so that we can take care of Chen Ju together, how about that? It's reasonable, right?"

"Well, it's really reasonable. Manager Yan really deserves to be a business genius. Thank you for thinking of me." Li Qing said with a half-smile.

Yan Qiu raised the corners of his lips, stretched out his hand to pinch Li Qing's face, and said, "Don't laugh like that, it's ugly."

Li Qing couldn't bear it anymore, and immediately flew into a rage. Just as he was about to say a few words, he suddenly saw a familiar figure, his eyes widened instantly, and in the next second, he rushed over and stopped Jiang Zhou in a few steps.

"Master Jiang, long time no see." Li Qing fell into Jiang Zhou's eyes again, and those bold words disappeared in an instant, and he smiled awkwardly, "You also came to see Chen Ju?"

"Chen Ju, is he here too?" Jiang Zhou frowned, his voice was hoarse, and it was only then that Li Qing noticed Jiang Zhou's unhealthy paleness.

"Yes, but there is no major problem, and he should be discharged from the hospital tomorrow." Li Qing said.

"Which ward is it?" Jiang Zhou asked.

"407" Li Qing said.

"Okay, thank you." Jiang Zhou nodded, and then left.

"No thanks, no thanks." Li Qing waved his hand. He didn't wake up suddenly until Jiang Zhou's figure disappeared around the corner. Damn!What was he doing just now?

confessed to my wife

Because of sleeping a lot during the day, Chen Ju has insomnia at the moment, lying on the bed in a daze, with his mind blank, Song Yuan came over at night and asked him if he wanted to work in his company, and then rent him a house nearby.

Chen Ju told Li Qing that he was going to help. Song Yuan didn't say anything, but was very happy.

At first, he thought that life would not continue, but now, lying on the hospital bed, Chen Ju's heart was extremely calm. For the first time, he felt the horror of time. It was like a river that was rushing non-stop, rushing forward with the most violent gesture, smooth out all scars, let you forget those deepest pains, and become a bystander.

There was a click, and the sound of the door opening sounded very clearly in the quiet ward. Chen Ju didn't know why, and subconsciously closed her eyes.

At first he thought it was the nurse who made the rounds, but when that person walked to the bed, he didn't take any further action. After waiting for a few minutes, Chen Ju wanted to open his eyes to see who it was, when suddenly he heard a sigh.

Low and deep, it sounded in the ear, like a whisper, with deep sorrow, so thick that it couldn't be melted, Chen Ju felt his heart tighten, and closed his eyes again.

"Little Orange," Jiang Zhou sat on the edge of the bed and stared at Chen Ju on the bed through the dim light outside the window. He stretched out his hand and touched the end of Chen Ju's eyes with his fingertips, as if he was treating a fragile treasureAs cautious as she was, she only dared to touch it lightly, "Tell me, how can I do it well? Reveal a little, just a little..."

Jiang Zhou's begging voice sounded low, and then Chen Ju felt the side of the bed sinking slightly, and the man lay on his side beside him, warm breath spraying on his cheeks and ears, Chen Ju stiffened, and his heart was full of pain.There was a trace of sour emotion, which made him unable to think about anything, and his mind went blank.

The palms were pulled up, and the palms were pressed together. Jiang Zhouda's big hand wrapped his hand, and his fingers interlocked. The man's temperature was hot, as if he had been fished out of hot water. Chen Ju's heart trembled, thinking ofWhat Song Yuan said, he realized that Jiang Zhou had a fever.

Jiang Zhou suppressed his crazy thoughts during the day, and endured it until night. Chen Ju fell asleep before he dared to come to the ward. The burning temperature on his body was like a fire, which was about to set him on fire.It was chaos.

The pain in heart was magnified ten times and a hundred times than usual, and was almost unbearable. It turns out that it is such a painful thing to like someone and not get a response, and this pain has been going on for five or six years since Chen Ju was in high school.

More regret and anger than heartache, if he could go back to high school, he would definitely slap himself, tell him to respond to someone he likes, don't be so stubborn, sooner or later you will lose him.

But it was too late, and he still lost his little orange.

"Little Orange...give me some hints..." Jiang Zhou closed his eyes, clasped Chen Ju's hand with his palm, and murmured softly, his cheeks and neck were burning red.

In the dark, Chen Ju opened his eyes, and he turned his head to look to the side. Jiang Zhou's tall body was curled up in a small place, his eyes were closed, his brows were furrowed, and he looked very painful.

The man seemed to be in a coma, talking indiscriminately, saying sorry for a while, and reminding him a while. Chen Ju looked at the man in front of him, blinked his dry eyes, and squeezed out a word from his throat after a while.

"Why are you doing this? Are you trying to trick me again?"

What answered him was a long silence. Chen Ju looked at the sleeping man and felt that what he asked just now sounded stupid, and he had already reached such a situation. What's the point of him asking such words?What answer do you think of?

Chen Ju lowered his eyes, his eyelashes trembled slightly, and suppressed the surging heat. He slowly withdrew his hand, and suddenly his hand was tightly grasped. Jiang Zhou, who was supposed to be asleep, was now firmly graspingHis hand refused to let go.

Unspeakable emotions suddenly surged in my heart, and there was a trace of grievance mixed with the anger. Chen Ju's eyes were red, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Let go, what are you holding me for?"

Jiang Zhou's hands were like iron pincers, and he tightly clasped Chen Ju's hand. With his eyes closed, he slowly put Chen Ju's hand on his heart, and said in a low voice: "I like you, little orange, I like you very much.Like it, don't drive me away again, okay? It hurts here."

Chen Ju's palm was pressed against Jiang Zhou's chest. He felt the man's hot body temperature and the beating heart under his skin. The blood in his body seemed to stop flowing, and he stared blankly at the man in front of him.

like?Did Jiang Zhou just say that he likes himself?Did he have hallucinations, or did Jiang Zhou experience auditory hallucinations?

Chen Ju didn't even dare to ask a second time.

It wasn't until dawn that Chen Ju fell asleep. When he opened his eyes again, he saw Yan Qiu who had come to deliver breakfast. He sat up and subconsciously looked to the side, but there was no sign of Jiang Zhou.

"Li Qing is setting up a stall downstairs." Yan Qiu put the porridge on the table, "Leave him alone and have some breakfast."

Chen Ju came back to his senses, subconsciously caressed the empty space on the left with his palm, where there was still a lingering warmth, and told him that last night was not a dream.

Went to the small cubicle to wash up, Chen Ju sat down at the table and began to eat porridge hesitantly, halfway through the meal, he looked up at Yan Qiu, and asked: "Brother Qiu, when you came in this morning, did someone else come to the ward?"people?"

Yan Qiu paused, and said, "No, what's the matter?"

"No, it's okay." Chen Ju pursed her lips and smiled, "I was in a haze in the morning, and it seemed that someone had come in. It must be a dream."

Yan Qiu was silent for a few seconds, nodded, and said, "It should be."

Time flies, two months passed in the blink of an eye, and spring came to people with pink peach petals and tender green buds.

Chen Ju has been very busy since he was discharged from the hospital. He was busy looking for a house, buying materials with Li Qing.pain.

Sometimes when taking a break, Chen Ju looks at the bustling crowd outside the door and has the illusion that he is in a dream. He really met Jiang Zhou and signed a contract with him. Is his mother still in the hospital?, did not leave him?

But these thoughts just passed by in a flash, and soon he would return to reality, knowing that all this happened for real, it was not a dream, it was just because he wanted to escape.

Suddenly, he saw a familiar figure in the crowd, and his heart beat faster. Chen Ju clenched the rag in his hand, his mind went blank. When he realized it, he was already standing on the road outside the door.There was no sign of Jiang Zhou among the vendors coming and going, but he was sure that he saw it, not a hallucination.

"Brother Chen!" Song Yuan's hearty voice sounded from the left, Chen Ju was stunned, turned around, and saw Song Yuan walking over with a few cups of milk tea and food, "I'm so touched, you came to the door speciallyPick me up? I want to give you a surprise~"

Seeing Song Yuan approaching, Chen Ju withdrew the emotion in his eyes, pursed his lips and smiled, instead of answering Song Yuan's words, he said, "Thank you, I bought so many things again."

During this period of time, Song Yuan came here almost every day. Every time he came, he packed big bags and bought delicious food for Chen Ju in various ways.They will take food, and then consciously go to the side, leaving space for the two of them to be alone.

"Brother Qing, Brother Qiu, good afternoon~ The decoration of the store is very nice, when will it open?"

Li Qing climbed down from the escalator, tied his coat around his waist, wiped his sweat with his sleeve, and said, "It's fixed, Wednesday is a good day, we plan to open on that day."

"Come on, Brother Qing, have a drink and rest for a while before doing anything." Song Yuan put the milk tea and cake on the table.

Li Qing glanced at Chen Ju knowingly, smiled, and said, "Okay, then I won't be polite ~ Yan Qiu, Xiao Song is entertaining guests again, come out quickly!"

The curtain in the back room was opened, and Yan Qiu came over yawning, looking like he had just woken up. Seeing this, Li Qing glared and said, "Damn, don't tell me you've been sleeping! Have you done the kitchen yet?"

"Anyway, there's still time, it's okay to rest for a while," Yan Qiu said nonchalantly, pulled out a chair and sat down, took a cup of milk tea, and said to Song Yuan, "Thank you, I'm so sorry that you come here every day to deliver food, tomorrowXiaoju is free tonight, why don't you go out for a date?"

Hearing the word date, Chen Ju's face blushed, and he said hastily: "Brother Qiu, the store is very busy, I can't..."

"It's okay, let Yan Qiu do your part! Let him sleep on our backs." Li Qing took over the words.

"Brother Chen, let's go to the movies~ There's a new movie coming out recently, okay?" Song Yuan blinked and stared at Chen Ju with such anticipation that one couldn't refuse.

"Okay." Chen Ju nodded.

After finishing the work in the store, it was already dark, Song Yuan drove Chen Ju to his place of residence, and when he got downstairs, Chen Ju stood in front of the car window and said goodbye to Song Yuan.

"Then see you tomorrow." Chen Ju said.

Song Yuan put his arm on the window, bent his lips and said, "Brother Chen, won't you invite me up?"

Chen Ju didn't know what to say for a while, during this time, Song Yuan would always say some witty things, which made him feel at a loss.

Seeing Chen Ju's reaction, Song Yuan smiled, waved to Song Yuan, and said, "Brother Chen, come closer, I'll have a word with you."

"Oh." Chen Ju leaned over, suddenly his eyes dimmed, Song Yuan kissed him on the forehead, and quickly moved away.

"I'm looking forward to tomorrow's date~ Good night, brother Chen." Song Yuan said with a smile, then started the car and disappeared at the end of the road.

Chen Ju was left blankly covering his forehead, standing where he was, his cheeks blushing.

After standing there for a while, the heat on his face dissipated before Chen Ju turned around and went back to the corridor. As soon as he walked into the unit building, the sensor light turned on, clearly illuminating the man sitting on the stairs. Chen Ju was startled and almost yelled, hurriedlyCovering his mouth, he stared round his eyes and looked at Jiang Zhou in front of him.

Can kiss?

Jiang Zhou was sitting on the steps of the stairs with his black coat hanging on the ground. He no longer cared whether it was dirty or clean. When he saw Chen Ju getting off Song Yuan's car and the scene of the two kissing, he felt unprecedented.Frustrated, the heart hurts as if it burst.

"What are you doing here?" Chen Ju asked, pursing her lips and staring at the man in front of her, her heart beating uncontrollably.

I haven't seen him for two months, the man has lost a lot of weight, and he looks decadent and depressed.

Jiang Zhou raised his head slowly, his eyes were dark, his eyes stayed on Chen Ju's lips for a few seconds, and there was a dull pain in his chest. He lowered his eyes, stood up, and his tall body reflected a long line on the stairs.The long shadow just completely enveloped Chen Ju in it.

He walked down the stairs slowly, stopped a step away from Chen Ju, and asked, "Are you dating Song Yuan?"

Chen Ju was stunned for a moment, and suddenly, he thought of the kiss that Song Yuan suddenly approached just now. Jiang Zhou was sitting so close, he must have seen it.

There should be an explanation, but the words stopped at the throat, Chen Ju turned her head, pursed her lips and said, "What are you doing here now?"

"I," Jiang Zhou paused, he really had no reason to come to see Chen Ju, but the crazy longing in his heart made him unable to restrain himself, "I want to see you."

A deep voice sounded in the corridor, reaching Chen Ju's ears with the vibration of air, the ending trembled, and Chen Ju's heart trembled accordingly, and he couldn't help but clenched his palms tightly.

I want to see you, these five words seem to have a strange magic power, making Chen Ju's silent heart thump and thump.

"Then you can go after you've finished." Chen Ju whispered, and didn't go to see Jiang Zhou. He was afraid that seeing those eyes would make people unable to move away, as if being sucked into a whirlpool.

Jiang Zhou didn't speak, but still stood there, blocking Chen Ju's way. After a long silence, the voice-activated lights were turned off, and the surroundings were plunged into darkness.

Just as Chen Ju was about to speak, a familiar breath came over his face suddenly. Jiang Zhou wrapped him in a coat, and the scorching temperature came from his tight chest. In the darkness, Jiang Zhou's deep and hoarse voice rang in his ears.

"Don't push it away, let me hug you, just give me a hug, little orange."

Chen Ju knew that he should push it away, but after raising his hand halfway, he stopped again, and finally clenched it into a ball, and slowly let it hang down.

The man's embrace was too warm, and he was greedy for this warmth.

Suddenly, there was a voice behind him, someone was about to come in, Chen Ju's heart skipped a beat, he hurriedly got out of Jiang Zhou's arms, grabbed his wrist and walked upstairs, the sensor light turned on immediately, and a person came in behind him.Bickering young couple.

Chen Ju didn't know what he was thinking, and when he realized it, he had already pulled Jiang Zhou to his rental house.

He subconsciously wanted to let go, but Jiang Zhou's hand had already held onto his palm, and he gently pinched his palm. His heart felt itchy along with his palm, and he wanted to break free. At this moment,Two young couples walked by behind, Chen Ju froze, quickly took out the key from his pocket, and opened the door.

Originally, Chen Ju planned to just put on a show and let Jiang Zhou leave after the young couple left, but with a click, Jiang Zhou grabbed his wrist and entered the room, closing the door behind him.

In the room, there was only moonlight coming in from the window, reflected in Jiang Zhou's dark eyes, like a pool of Milky Way in the sky, Chen Ju held his breath subconsciously, and stared at Jiang Zhou blankly.

"Where did he kiss you?" Jiang Zhou's tone didn't sound like a question, but more like a begging, with waves rippling in his dark eyes, as if he was about to cry.

Chen Ju pursed her lips and whispered, "Forehead."

After saying this, Jiang Zhou suddenly moved closer, stroking Chen Ju's forehead with his fingers, as if he was about to wipe off something unclean, and soon felt a burning heat on his forehead, Chen Ju wanted to shrink back, but was held by Jiang Zhouthe back of the head.

Jiang Zhou got very close, the tip of his nose touched, so close that he could see his thick and slender eyelashes, Chen Ju's heart tightened suddenly, and the back of his ears felt hot, looking at Jiang Zhou's face so close, he didn't understand what he wantedwhat to do.

"Can I kiss?" Jiang Zhou asked suddenly, his thumb was still rubbing Chen Ju's forehead, as if this could erase the traces left by others.

Chen Ju woke up suddenly, her cheeks felt hot, she stretched out her hand to push Jiang Zhou away, turned around, and hurriedly walked into the room.

With a soft click, the light turned on, showing the whole room. A small bed occupies a large part of the room. The cabinet and table are attached to the wall. There is a bathroom and a small kitchen on the inside.The environment of this rental house is much better than that of the last basement, but Jiang Zhou still thinks it's not good, and he feels very distressed when he thinks of his little orange living here alone.

"You, you can go." Chen Ju stood beside the bed with a defensive face, her earlobe hidden behind her hair was bleeding red.

Jiang Zhou stood at the entrance, without taking a step closer, he looked around the room and said, "Okay, then I'll go first, you should rest earlier."

After finishing speaking, Jiang Zhou really turned around, opened the door and left. Seeing the closed door, Chen Ju was at a loss for a while, stunned for a while, ran to the window, and looked down.

In about two minutes, Jiang Zhou came out of the unit building. Instead of leaving immediately, he sat on a bench under a tree, bowed his waist, lit a cigarette, and smoked one after another.

Chen Ju kept hiding behind the curtains, looking at Jiang Zhou, he counted, Jiang Zhou smoked a total of eight cigarettes, and the cigarette case was empty before he got up and left here.

After Jiang Zhou walked away, Chen Ju came out from behind the curtain. He looked at the empty bench under the tree, and there was a sore pain in his chest, and the words Jiang Zhou said in the ward that night rang again in his ears.

Because I like you, little orange, very much.

If what Jiang Zhou said about liking is true?However, Chen Ju didn't dare to think about it any further. His heart was in a mess, and his head was like a mess, tangled together, cut constantly, and the reasoning was still chaotic.

Chen Ju went to the bathroom to take a shower, threw himself into the bed, and forced himself to sleep quickly, but he was still awake until the morning, and finally went to the store with a pair of panda eyes.

Li Qing posted in the group what he wanted to eat, and Chen Ju bought it at the breakfast stand along the way. While he was queuing up, he was tapped on the shoulder suddenly, and a familiar voice sounded.

"Chen Ju!" Jiang Jin said in surprise.

Seeing that it was Jiang Jin, Chen Ju also showed a surprised expression, and said, "Doctor Jiang, why are you here?"

"I have a friend who runs a clinic nearby, so I came to have a look at him." Jiang Jin said with curved lips, then looked it over carefully, and said, "It seems that you have had a good time."

Chen Ju pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "It's okay."

After the two bought breakfast, they walked for a while. While waiting for the bus at the bus stop, Jiang Jin suddenly said, "I don't know if I should say something. It's about Jiang Zhou and your mother. If youIf you don’t want to hear it, I don’t have to say it.”

Chen Ju was stunned, looked at Jiang Jin blankly, and subconsciously said, "What?"

At this time, the bus came, and Jiang Jin handed his business card to Chen Ju, and said, "Mr. Chen, if you want to know more, you can contact me. I'm free anytime."

Sitting on the bus, leaning against the window, Chen Ju looked down at the business card in his hand, his brain should be sleepy after not sleeping all night, but at this moment he was very awake.

Jiang Jin's words kept ringing in his ears, Jiang Zhou and his mother, did anything happen between them that he didn't know about?

In the store, just as Li Qing called Yan Qiu, who watched cats and mice, to clean up, she saw Chen Ju walking in with breakfast, and hurriedly said hello: "Xiaoju, good morning~"

"Good morning." Chen Ju put the breakfast in Li Qing's hands, walked straight to the kitchen in a daze, picked up a rag, and wiped the stove aimlessly.

Li Qing winked at Yan Qiu, and the two of them took a peek at Chen Ju, who was wiping a bowl in the kitchen. He sat at the table by the side and whispered, "What's going on? He looks like he's lost his soul.".”

"A home run with Song Yuan?" Li Qing stepped on Yan Qiu just as he finished speaking.

"What nonsense!" Li Qing picked up a big meat bun and stuffed it into Yan Qiu's mouth, "Xiaoju still has Young Master Jiang in her heart, how could it be so fast?"

"How do you know? I remember that Jiang Zhou hasn't appeared in a long time." Yan Qiu grabbed the meat bun and started to eat.

"Hey," Li Qing sighed, "Xiaoju has been looking out the door for the past few days, and sometimes she would go out suddenly and come back with a disappointed face. She is not waiting for Young Master Jiang, who else is she waiting for?"

Li Qing and Chen Ju have known each other for so many years, and they still know him very well.

"Xiaoju, he is too dedicated. If you like someone, you will spend your whole life. That's good, but it's not good." Li Qing picked up a steamed bun and ate it, "Say, why don't we go find Jiang?Eldest young master?"

"Only ordinary people like us can see Young Master Jiang casually?" Yan Qiu raised his eyebrows, stretched his long legs, and stepped on Li Qing's sneakers, whether on purpose or not, "They are all grown-ups, you don't need to comeWorry, and, you ate so much from Song Yuan, are you willing to rebel?"

"Hey, that's right, just leave it alone, as long as Xiaoju is happy!" Li Qing opened his mouth and stuffed the remaining half of the steamed stuffed bun into his mouth, his cheeks puffed up, like a hamster eating.

Yan Qiu couldn't help laughing. The morning sunlight fell on his face through the glass window, as if a filter had been applied to his face. Li Qing was a little stunned for a while, and kept his mouth pouting, staring blankly.With Yan Qiu.

MD, God is too unfair, Li Qing thought indignantly for giving this bastard such a handsome skin.

After Li Qing had breakfast, he pulled out Chen Ju who was completely out of shape, threw him into the attic, and said, "Give me a sleep, I don't have the guts to hire a national treasure to work for me."

"I, I'm fine." Chen Ju said quickly.

"Don't talk nonsense, don't sleep, I'll give you a day off! You know my temper." Li Qing turned around and went downstairs after speaking, leaving Chen Ju alone in the next building.

It was a misunderstanding

Chen Ju lay on the bed, staring at the string of numbers on the phone, hesitated for a long time, and finally mustered up the courage to dial it.

"Mr. Chen, have you thought about it?" Jiang Jin's gentle voice sounded.

Chen Ju was silent for a few seconds, then hummed in a low voice.

What followed was a call that lasted about 30 minutes. When the call was hung up, Chen Ju did not take the phone away. His ears became hot from the hot screen of the phone. He stared blankly at the wall in front of him. Jiang Jin saidThe words echoed in my ears over and over again.

It turned out that Jiang Zhou took his mother away to seek medical treatment for her. In the end, her mother was sober and chose to leave, rather than being forced by Jiang Zhou.

On the contrary, without Jiang Zhou, my mother's condition would not improve, and she would not have this short sobriety.

Compared with other things, the news that her mother was awake for the last time made Chen Ju feel relieved, because her mother was finally no longer a body without a soul at the mercy of others, and the last time belonged to her, even if it was a decisionEnding her life is also a decision made by her mother herself. She lived as an independent person and died with dignity as an independent person.

Mom, Chen Ju lowered his eyes, his eye sockets became hot, his vision was blurred, his hand holding the phone trembled slightly, he took a deep breath, tried to show a cute smile, and said softly: "I will live well,Mother."

Two hours later, Chen Ju came down from the attic, greeted Li Qingyanqiu, and started to work.

Looking at Chen Ju who looked like a wind-up bunny, Li Qing poked Yan Qiu with his elbow and asked, "What's the matter with Xiaoju? It seems like a different person."

Yan Qiu stared at Chen Ju's figure for a few seconds, and said, "People always figure it out."

"What do you mean?" Li Qing wanted to ask further, but Yan Qiu went to Chen Ju's to help.

In the evening, Song Yuan arrived as scheduled. He got out of the car and dressed up specially for tonight's date. He looked much more handsome than usual.

Li Qing and Yan Qiu lay in front of the glass window and watched Chen Ju get into Song Yuan's car. Li Qing couldn't help but click his tongue twice, enviously said: "Hey, when will I meet such a good diamond king?Fifty years less struggle."

"I have a customer, do you want it?" Yan Qiu raised his eyes and glanced at Li Qing lightly, "It's only over fifty, and it's still young and strong."

Li Qing had blue veins on his forehead, he gritted his teeth and said, "Get lost."

In the movie theater, Song Yuan put a large bucket of popcorn into Chen Ju's arms, and said with a smile, "Brother Chen, take it, I'll go get the tickets~"

"Okay." Chen Ju held the popcorn that was about to come out, and looked at the scary faces on the poster with some expectation. After all, he hadn't been to the cinema for a long time. The last time was the same. Thinking of this, Jiang Zhou satThe figure smoking on the bench appeared in front of his eyes. The last time he watched a movie, Jiang Zhou accompanied him.

At this moment, Chen Ju suddenly saw a familiar figure, and he froze, thinking that he was hallucinating, otherwise why would Jiang Zhou appear here?

Jiang Zhou stood in the direction of the door, staring at Chen Ju who was not far away. The man's cheeks were blushing, and he was holding a big popcorn in his arms. Song Yuan came back with a movie ticket and moved closer. The two whispered.

With pain in his heart, Jiang Zhou strode over with the lingering drunkenness.

The smile on Song Yuan's face saw the approaching Jiang Zhou froze, narrowed his eyes, and said, "Master Jiang, what a coincidence, why are you here? Are you with Miss Liu?"

Hearing Miss Liu's three words, Chen Ju's heart tightened for a while, and she hugged the popcorn tightly in her arms.

"Liu Shengyue and I are just friends. She already has someone she likes. I just acted with her before." Jiang Zhou said in a low voice.

Chen Ju's heart skipped a beat, and she raised her head, just in time to meet Jiang Zhou's pair of dark eyes, looking at herself intently and seriously, like a bottomless lake, making it impossible to look away.

It was all acting before... Ms. Liu has someone she likes... Putting the two messages together, Chen Ju's brain stopped spinning for a moment.

"I heard from my brother that Young Master Jiang and Brother Chen also started with a contract, isn't that also acting?" Song Yuan's every word pierced Jiang Zhou's heart precisely.

Jiang Zhou was silent for a few seconds, and said in a low voice: "Yes, that was because I wanted to keep Chen Ju by my side. I admit that I wanted revenge at that time, I'm sorry."

Song Yuan was at a loss for words for a while, opened his eyes slightly, looked at Jiang Zhou in front of him, and was shocked in his heart, are you talking so directly now?He looked to the side and found that Chen Ju's eyes were red, his head was lowered, and his eyelashes trembled slightly.

"The movie is about to start, Brother Chen, let's go." Song Yuan grabbed Chen Ju's wrist and pulled him out of the hall.

Chen Ju was dragged forward by Song Yuan, her chest throbbing. Hearing the truth from Jiang Zhou, it turned out to be so uncomfortable, and the heart that always thought it didn't matter would not feel uncomfortable anymore.It's cracked, and it hurts badly.

Because of revenge, it turned out that Jiang Zhou really approached him because of revenge. Those contracts and words were all true.

With a bang, tears rolled down and fell into the popcorn. Sitting in the dim projection room, Chen Ju quickly wiped his eyes with his sleeve. Suddenly, a person sat down on the empty right hand side. He looked atbeside.

Under the light of the screen, Jiang Zhou stared at him with scorching eyes. Chen Ju paused, then turned his head immediately, trying to stand up and change places with Song Yuan, but his wrist was grabbed, and the movie started.

"Actually, I'm afraid of things like ghosts," Jiang Zhou said in a low voice, "I've only watched horror movies a few times, and this is the second time."

Chen Ju paused, it was the second time, that is to say, it was the first time when I watched it with myself... But, what does this have to do with him?He didn't want to know about such things.

"I'm sorry," as the movie music played, Jiang Zhou's tall body approached, and his voice whispered in his ears, "I had such immature and extreme thoughts because of a misunderstanding. I'm sorry, little orange."

Chen Ju's heart trembled, and a sour feeling suddenly surged in his nasal cavity. The tears that had just been suppressed flowed up again, his eyes became hot, and his vision became blurred.

"Brother Chen, what's the matter?" Song Yuan asked, and the next second he found Jiang Zhou sitting next to him, frowned, and said in a low voice, "Brother Chen, let's change seats."

As he spoke, he bent down and stood up, grabbed Chen Ju's arm, and lifted him to his seat, and he sat next to Jiang Zhou.

"Master Jiang, no noise is allowed during the movie." Song Yuan smiled.

Jiang Zhou looked at Chen Ju who was far away, and the tenderness in his eyes was replaced by coldness and indifference. He glanced at Song Yuan, leaned on the chair, crossed his long legs, and looked at the picture on the screen coldly.

Song Yuan snorted softly, looked away, moved towards Chen Ju's direction, and said in a low voice, "Brother Chen, drink some Coke~"

"Well, thank you." Chen Ju said in a low voice, lowered his head and took a sip of Coke, the cold Coke slid down his throat into his stomach, relieving the hotness in his heart, he glanced at the right side, through Song Yuan's shoulder, he saw Jiang Zhou's face sideways, looking at this side, but he couldn't see the expression on his face clearly.

The heart tightened suddenly, and Chen Ju looked away.

The movie started, because the movie was so exciting and good-looking, Chen Ju's attention was quickly attracted, and he watched it engrossedly. When it reached the climax, there was a burst of exclamation in the movie theater, including Song Yuan, who was also startled, and saidWith an exclamation, he reached out and grabbed Chen Ju's hand.

Chen Jue was excited to see it, but suddenly felt his hand was caught and he was taken aback. He glanced to the side, and met Song Yuan's turned face.

"It's too scary, Brother Chen, aren't you scared?" Song Yuan asked with a suppressed voice.

Chen Ju pursed her lips, shook her head, and said, "It's okay, I'm not afraid of such things."

After finishing speaking, he remembered what Jiang Zhou said before the movie started: "Actually, I'm afraid of things like ghosts."

Subconsciously, he looked to Song Yuan's side. The clean light on the movie screen shone on Jiang Zhou's face. He closed his eyes, clenched his hands on the handle, and his face was very ugly.

"Then Brother Chen is really amazing, not like someone." Song Yuan also looked to the side. At the same time, Jiang Zhou opened his eyes, straightened his back, his face was pale, and he looked at it with a serious face.
