The next day, Cheng Ji'an went to work as usual. In the brocade department, Zhu Minrong was repairing a piece of Shu brocade, but he was a little absent-minded.

When Cheng Ji'an came back from outside and passed her office, her eyes lit up, she put down the needle and thread in her hand and walked out.

"Xiaocheng!"

Cheng Ji'an was returning from the bathroom. Seeing Zhu Minrong calling her, he was a little puzzled, so he walked over, "Mr. Zhu, are you calling me?"

Zhu Minrong swept around and saw that there was no one around, and smiled and pulled her in the door, "Well, there is something I want to tell you."

Cheng Ji'an felt a little weird, and it was not easy to refuse, so he had to follow up.

Zhu Minrong asked her to sit down and cut to the chase, "Xiaocheng, I want to tell you about our Xudong..."

My son is unreliable, and after thinking about it, this time I have to take care of it myself.

Cheng Ji'an sat on the chair, raised his head subconsciously, and straightened up.

Zhu Minrong seemed a little embarrassed, but he still said: "To tell you the truth, when our family Xudong saw you yesterday, he was full of praise along the way, and asked me a lot of questions. Listening to his tone, it should be love at first sight for you. …”

"..." Although some expected, but when these words came out, Cheng Ji'an still felt a huge shock.

"I know that these words are not suitable for me, but who will make the poor parents in the world heart, our family Xudong is not too young, I have been looking forward to him marrying a wife. To be honest, not only did he fall in love with you, but also I I've always been very satisfied with you, the first time I saw you, I thought it would be nice if you were my daughter-in-law..."

"I wish the teacher!" Cheng Ji'an stood up in fright.

Zhu Minrong hurriedly reassured her, "Don't worry, just listen to me first. In fact, I'm not bragging, our family Xudong is really good, he is now a leader in his uncle's factory, and he has already bought a house and a car. I'm also a college student, two years older than you, and you should have a lot of common language..."

"It's not Teacher Zhu," Cheng Ji'an couldn't let her go on, "Ling Lang is very good, but I just want to work..."

"Don't say that, you are not too young, you are not in a hurry, your parents are always in a hurry..." Zhu Minrong was still insisting.

Cheng Ji'an was not persuaded, "Teacher Zhu, I just want to work hard now, I really don't plan to fall in love and get married."

"If you don't get married or not, you'll be fine first..." Zhu Minrong said with a smile.

"Teacher Zhu, I really don't need it." Cheng Ji'an was a little helpless. I have already expressed my attitude, and it is useless to say more. I will not stay for a long time. I just say goodbye, "I still have a lot of things to do, so I will leave first."

"Xiao Cheng!" Zhu Minrong obviously wanted to say more, but Cheng Ji'an had already walked out of the door.

...

Back in her office, Cheng Ji'an calmed down for a long time before she calmed down. She didn't expect that she would encounter such a thing.

But it should be that the teacher is anxious for his son to get married.

Cheng Ji'an thought about the reason and relaxed again.

As for her refusal, Teacher Zhu should not be angry. She is an intellectual and a senior, so she shouldn't take it to heart. And she refused like that, and Teacher Zhu knows what she knows, so she shouldn't mention it again.

She didn't want to make the relationship between her colleagues so stiff, thinking that she would meet again later, and just pretend that nothing happened.

There is a lot of work every day, Cheng Ji'an let go of his worries and quickly threw himself into it again.

Everything was calm until she got off work. Cheng Ji'an thought it was over, but at night, she received another text message from Yin Xudong.

...

When receiving the text message, Cheng Ji'an was learning to cook in the kitchen.

She was busy with schoolwork in middle school and part-time in college. After marrying into Ji's family, she didn't bother to do anything, so she could cook very few dishes. A few days ago, I also went to restaurants or ordered takeout, but it was not a long-term solution, so I bought a book and started researching it myself. Plus, cooking your own meals is just the thing to pass some time.

Seeing that it was an unfamiliar number and it started with "Hello" again, Cheng Ji'an didn't care. She just stuffed her phone into the pocket of her apron and was busy pouring the chopped corn into the stew pot with spare ribs. Today she wants to It's the pork ribs and corn chowder.

The text message seemed to ring again, and it was inconvenient for Cheng Ji'an to have wet hands, so he ignored it. After a while, the phone rang again.

He hurriedly wiped his hands, picked up the phone, and the other party rang twice but hung up. At first glance, it was the unfamiliar number just now, and there were two other text messages underneath.

When clicked in, was a little stunned.

"Hello, Miss Cheng, I'm Yin Xudong. We met last night. Please forgive me for coming to you so rashly, because I really can't stand the throbbing in my heart. Miss Cheng, I fell in love with you at first sight."

"I was so excited just now that I sent it out before I finished. It really made you laugh. To be honest, since I saw you yesterday, I have been thinking of you, and even dreamed of you in my dreams. You are so Beautiful and pure, just like a white swan, and like a goddess. So my goddess, can you allow me to pursue you?"

Two text messages, two paragraphs, Cheng Ji'an was a little confused.

Originally, it was just wishful thinking of Teacher Zhu, but she did not expect Yin Xudong to come to her too.

Just how could he have his own number? Did Teacher Zhu tell him? If Teacher Zhu told him his number, why didn't he tell him his attitude?

Cheng Ji'an didn't expect things to become complicated, and he didn't know how to deal with it for a while, so he put down the phone and ignored it.

But after a while, the phone rang again.

At first glance, it was still Yin Xudong's phone number.

This time, the bell didn't stop after two rings, but kept ringing, but Cheng Ji'an didn't pick it up, nor did it pick it up.

The bell was very persistent. After it rang once and stopped, it rang again for the second time. Cheng Ji'an had no choice but to pick it up.

"Hello?" The tone was a little helpless.

"Hello, is that Miss Cheng?" The voice on the other end was very happy. It's just that when his voice sounded, Cheng Ji'an's greasy face and his sticky palms when shaking hands appeared in Cheng Ji'an's mind.

It was not a pleasant experience.

"Yes." However, he remained polite.

"It's great, I'm Yin Xudong, Teacher Zhu's son. We met last night. Did you receive my text message? I can't help calling you since you haven't replied." Yin Xudong was very excited .

"No, I've been busy just now." Cheng Ji'an lowered his eyes, still chose to lie, and couldn't help but ask, "How did you know my phone number?"

"Oh, that's when I secretly flipped through my mom's phone last night. It's really presumptuous."

That's why she wronged Teacher Zhu earlier...

"It doesn't matter if you didn't see my text message just now. That's what I wanted to say to you. After thinking about it, I don't think it's serious enough. I think it's better to make a phone call and make it clear. That Miss Cheng, I saw it for the first time last night. When I get to you, I fall in love with you. You are just the girl I dreamed of. I didn't sleep well last night. I was all about you, even if I dreamed of you, I just wanted to ask you, are you? Can you promise to be my girlfriend?"

"Mr. Yin, I'm really sorry, I don't have any plans to find a boyfriend for the time being." Maybe Teacher Zhu hasn't had time to tell him, so she should refuse again.

"Miss Cheng, don't call me Mr. Yin, just call me Xu Dong. If possible, I hope to call you An An."

"..."

Before Cheng Ji'an could speak, Yin Xudong spoke again, "It's okay for you to refuse me now, a pure and beautiful girl like you must be liked by many people, but don't worry, I will stick to the end, I will let you See my confidence, my sincerity..."

"Mr. Yin, I really just want to work hard right now and don't think about anything else..."

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter if you don't want to be my girlfriend now, we can be friends first, and then slowly get to know..."

"Mr. Yin, you really don't need to waste time on me, I may never get married in my life." Cheng Ji'an replied.

"It's okay, I'll wait for you to change your mind." Yin Xudong still insisted, and turned to say, "You're still busy, so don't bother, I'll hang up first, and then I'll contact you when I'm free."

At the end, he said again, "Your voice is really nice."

Cheng Ji'an felt powerless when he heard the call over there hanging up. It's not that she hasn't been chased before, and there are many suitors in middle school, but there has never been one like him.

That sticky feeling came up again, and it became lingering again, unable to get rid of it.

The soup in the pot exudes a strong aroma, Cheng Ji'an smells it, but loses his appetite.

...

It was difficult to fall back to sleep when was all tidy up and then lay back on the bed.

She really never thought about getting married again, whether it was Yin Xudong or someone else, she only hoped to live quietly now.

What's more, she is a married and divorced person. She is not so "pure" at all. What Yin Xudong needs is not someone like her at all.

It's just that even if she's never married, is she really pure?

Looking at the roof, the past events suddenly broke into his mind again, Cheng Ji'an turned around in pain, and his heart tightened again.

...

That year, when she was eighteen years old, she just finished the college entrance examination and got a long vacation. A cousin came to play, and before leaving, he invited her to go with him.

My cousin lives in a neighboring city. She has a good family background and loves to play. She plays crazy outside all day.

She had never been to a disco or a bar, and it was very restrained to sit among strange men and women. Although they are not very different in age, they are like two worlds.

Later, someone saw that she was lonely, and they sat down and invited her to drink. She had never drank alcohol, and had never been in contact with a strange man. She was inevitably afraid. She asked her cousin for help with her eyes, but she said, "What are you afraid of, drink it, come out to play, and be happy. Don't worry. Sister Here, cover you!"

When the cousin said so, and someone else was making fun of it, she had to drink the wine in the glass, because she had never drank it before, they let her drink it all, and she drank it all.

After a few drinks, don't remember, just remember that they kept pouring her, she kept pushing, and then her heart beat faster and faster, her head became more and more dizzy, and then she lost consciousness completely.

When woke up, was already on the big bed of the hotel, alone, naked.

Although she was not involved, the pain in her body made her instantly understand what was going on. At that moment, her whole body's blood coagulated, as if she was dealing with a disaster.

She began to look for her cousin like crazy, but there was no one in the room, and she didn't answer the phone, and the whole person seemed to have disappeared. She stood alone on the side of the road, tears streaming down her face, helpless.

My cousin didn't show up until noon, called and found her. At the beginning, it was a sentence, "Why don't you stay in the hotel and run out? You still call me so many times, why are you afraid that I will leave you alone? You, you have never seen the world."

She held back her tears and asked her, "Where have you been!"

My cousin said, "I'm in the hotel next door. Oh, why are you crying? How old are you? I don't care about you. Last night, I saw you were drunk before they were sent to the hotel to stay..."

She cried and said, "Then who did you send it!"

My cousin thought about it for a long time, but only replied: "Oh, I can't remember. I also drank too much at that time, so I told them to remember to take you back to the hotel. Later, someone came, and one was handsome. , we're too late..."

Hearing her cousin's answer, her tears couldn't hold back any longer. She wanted to scold her, but in the end she just squatted down and hugged her knees and cried.

She was eighteen years old that year and was still a good student, but at that moment, she experienced great despair and fell from the sky.

The cousin's friends were scattered and never seen again.

...

Then she came home and didn't tell anyone what happened that day, as if nothing had happened. She was hesitant and fearful all by herself, and she smoothed and forgotten them one by one. The cousin also went abroad soon after, married a foreigner, and settled abroad.

It's just that the shackles in the heart are completely put on, and it is difficult to untie. In the four years of college, many people have pursued her, but she has never promised anyone.

She had also tried to recall what happened that night, but there was nothing else but a vague feeling of a man leaning over and kissing her.

Afterwards, after graduating from university, it was the Ji family who came to the door.

When she heard that she was going to marry Ji Chongjun, she immediately refused. Although her mind changed after four years of university, she felt relieved, but she still had a burden on her heart. She even thought about not getting married in this life.

But no matter how she shied away or refused, it was useless, her mother was hysterical and pressed her to death.

Her vanity and self-esteem need to be fulfilled by her. She has been unhappy all her life, and she has been left behind all her life, so she can see hope in her daughter's marriage.

In the end, she could only answer silently.

She thought that no matter what the outcome was, as long as she adjusted herself, she would always be able to deal with it, and she was good enough to face no amount of difficulties.

But the final result is still too poor.

...

On the wedding night, Ji Chongjun entered her body, and then became stiff for a moment.

From that moment on, all the shackles are fastened, and all the future can be seen clearly.
