Chapter 46

After Ji Ran left, Su Mei went to the bathroom and looked at herself in the mirror. She slowly raised her hand and gently stroked the lip print on her cheek with her fingertips. There seemed to be Ji Ran's warmth, so gentle. So hot again. He was clearly such a cold-hearted person, but like a scorching light, he broke into his life and dispelled the pervasive darkness and coldness.

With the sound of running water, Su Mei slowly washed off the lip prints on her face, and then went back to the living room to turn on the TV. The voice came out from the TV, but Su Mei was distracted and couldn't hear it clearly.

She was used to being accompanied by someone at night. Now sitting alone in the living room, she felt empty and lonely. It was summer, but she felt cold all over her body. She picked up the blanket next to her and draped it over her body as if afraid of the cold.

Lying casually on the sofa, Su Mei raised her hand to cover her eyes, letting her thoughts wander.

Did she see that person? Are you having a good time with her, or are you being entangled by Yan Qing?

Regarding Ji Ran's unknown friend, Su Mei felt uneasy from the bottom of her heart. What kind of person could make Ji Ran so happy when she said she was going to see her, and she and Ji Ran were really just Friends, isn't it another Yan Qing?

As for Yan Qing, she believed in Ji Ran, but she didn't believe in Yan Qing.

In just a few short encounters, she saw too many eyes from Yan Qing wrapped around Ji Ran, so attached and so sad. She believed that Ji Ran had let go, but what about Yan Qing, if she couldn't let go, could the two really be free from entanglement?

Going is a two-way street, but letting go should also be a two-way street.

A person's departure is just because he can't bear or is unwilling to look at the people waiting behind him. It is not letting go, and it will never be possible to let go.

Although Su Mei can go with Ji Ran, but this time, what about next time, next time?

It is impossible for her to follow Ji Ran all the time, and it is impossible for her to interfere in her friendship. The two people who love each other also need to leave enough personal space for each other. Therefore, she chose to trust Ji Ran, herself, and their relationship.

On Ji Ran's side, after seeing Yan Qing at the door, Ji Ran subconsciously pulled Cheng Cheng and sat down beside Xia Yuan.

Xia Yuan on the left, Cheng Cheng on the right, Ji Ran smiled with satisfaction, so no matter how fragrant Yan Qing was, he couldn't be contaminated with her smell.

Xia Yuan looked at Ji Ran's small movements, raised her eyebrows, and played with her taste: "Why, aren't you the one who broke up with me for her?"

Ji Ran blushed when he heard this, and quietly begged for mercy: "Xiaoyuan, I was wrong, please forgive me."

Xia Yuan snorted coldly, noncommittal. She turned the cup in her hand and looked at Yan Qing who was walking towards them, her eyes became colder.

Although it's not Yan Qing's fault for her break with Ji Ran, what she learned about Ji Ran's condition from Cheng Cheng's mouth over the past few years made her really have no sympathy for Yan Qing. After a long time, it is not because the enemy is particularly jealous when they meet, and it is already very good to each other.

"Xia Yuan, long time no see." With the same opening remarks as Ji Ran, Yan Qing stood beside them gracefully. Although he said to Xia Yuan that he had not seen her for a long time, his eyes fell on Ji Ran.

Xia Yuan brought up a sneer and watched Yan Qing without speaking, Ji Ran felt the dark tide between the two, and her scalp was numb, so she had to speak out to ease the atmosphere: "Hehe Qingqing, Xiaoyuan just came back from abroad, I It's been a long time since I saw her."

After all, it was a rare class reunion, and Cheng Cheng also said, "Isn't it true, everyone hasn't seen her for so many years, and she traveled so far abroad by herself."

Yan Qing smiled and nodded after listening, and said lightly: "If you can't get along abroad, it's good to come back."

Then she looked at Xia Yuan with a gentle smile: "Do you mind if I sit next to you?"

"I don't mind." Xia Yuan also smiled kindly at Yan Qing, and got up and poured her a glass of water, "I don't mind boiled water, after all, you always bring your own tea fragrance."

After speaking, Xia Yuan leaned closer to Yan Qing, pretending to sniff lightly: "Well, let me smell it, it really still smells like green tea, a familiar formula."

Yan Qing took a sip from the teacup without changing his face, and then smiled: "Xia Yuan's pouring is really different, it's from your hands, the tea fragrance is stronger. You have been abroad in recent years, are you specializing in tea art? "

Ji Ran and Cheng Cheng, who were listening on the side, really wanted to wipe the cold sweat on their foreheads with a tissue. These two are here again. Although they are not as sharp as they were in high school, there is something in the words hidden in their smiles now. Even more frightening.

"Is this a coward?" Xia Yuan felt the trembling of the two people around her, and snorted coldly, finally not being so grinning.

"Of course, I'm afraid that you can come and sit next to me." Yan Qing smiled softly, this time it was true tenderness in his bones.

"Don't be so troublesome, I'll just sit on Xiaoyuan's side." Ji Ran rejected Yan Qing's proposal with a smile.

"Alright, after all, you haven't been in contact for so many years, so it should take time to get acquainted." Although Yan Qing couldn't hide the loss in his eyes, he didn't force it, and just looked at Xia Yuanyi and pointed.

"Oh, Ranran and I will have time to re-cultivate tacit understanding in the future, but some people will never have the opportunity to return to the past. After all, people have to look forward, and no one will stay in place." Xia Yuan picked up The teacup took a sip, and a mocking smile hung on her lips. Her eyes looked straight at Yan Qing, her cold and thin eyes were full of sharp edges that could not be hidden, "Yan Qing, you said what I said. Is it right?"

"..." Yan Qing was silent, her eyes darkened, as if she wanted to say something, but after seeing Ji Ran's frown, she lost all words. She lowered her eyes slightly, hiding all the emotions in her heart, and just chuckled, "As long as the direction is the same, anyone has the opportunity to walk all the way, even if they have gone the wrong way, they can change it, right?"

"Some paths can indeed go wrong, and there are opportunities to choose again. Unfortunately, once some people lose it, it is forever." Xia Yuan smiled very nicely, but it made people feel that there was a strong sense of coldness all over her body. His eyes stared straight at Yan Qing without blinking, and when she saw her face turn white, she took the teacup leisurely and took a sip.

Looking at Ji Ran, who was chatting casually with Cheng Cheng, Yan Qing seemed to have lost the strength to fight. In the past, because of this person's jealousy, she would always protect herself intentionally or not, but now she is letting the two of them stay here. Competing against each other, she was able to remain indifferent.

Yes, once some people lose it, it is forever, but people make mistakes, can't they really give themselves another chance? She didn't believe that after so many years of love, she could let go if she could, and she became just a passer-by in her life from now on.

After a while, the table gradually filled up, and the former monitor said a few words at random, and everyone who hadn't seen each other for a long time seemed to have returned to their student days, and they talked about interesting things at that time, and they were full of laughter and laughter. , It seems that he is many years younger, and he is back to the young man full of enthusiasm and longing.

Ji Ran looked at the old classmates who were high-spirited and chatting, and the corners of his lips contained a faint smile. Even without Yan Qing, high school was indeed an unforgettable time.

It was a time when a person's world outlook, outlook on life, and values ​​gradually took shape, it was also a time when a person worked hard for his dreams, and it was a time when a person had bitterness, tears, laughter, and parting.

At that time, they were still young and full of expectations and longing for the world.

Although they are self-sufficient, they have infinite possibilities.

Although they will be hesitant, they still dare to move forward.

They can go to a city for one person; they can work hard for one thing.

Are they not afraid?

No, they are also afraid, but they are still young, they can have different choices and have the opportunity to turn back. Teenagers should not be afraid of difficulties ahead, even if they make a mistake, they are detached. Going to the end, there is no way forward, come back and laugh.

"Hey? By the way, why did Xia Yuan organize our party this time? I remember that she is not in the same class as us." Amidst the laughter, a man looked at Xia Yuan suspiciously.

Xia Yuan blinked and smiled: "I'm closer to your class."

The squad leader on the side also echoed: "Haha yes, have you forgotten, at that time Xia Yuan would run to our class when she had time, and the meal was also in the dining area of ​​our class. As soon as she returned to China this time, she wanted to meet with our class, and she hasn't even seen anyone in her own class."

After listening to the monitor's words, a girl in a plaid shirt smiled and said, "Haha, Xia Yuan is here to see us, I'm afraid it's for Ji Ran. I remember the first half of high school when the two of them were good together. Yes, I don't know what happened in the second half, Xia Yuan doesn't come to our class anymore, sometimes when I see her with Ji Ran, she avoids all the way."

After speaking, the girl looked at Ji Ran and Xia Yuan, and smiled narrowly: "Why, are you reconciled now? I don't think you two are sitting together again."

"As far as you know, eat something to cover your mouth." Xia Yuan and this girl played well in high school, smiled and turned a plate of prawns in front of her, raising her eyebrows to look at her.

The girl took one for face, and bit the body of the shrimp with her mouth open, telling everyone that she had been blocked.

The other girl next to the girl looked at Xia Yuan, then looked at Yan Qing next to her, and smiled: "Is today the Great Reconciliation of the Century, haha, I remember that at that time, Xia Yuan and Yan Qing almost fought each other when they met. , and now sit down together."

"Haha, what, have you forgotten? At that time, they all had a good time. I guess there was some misunderstanding later. After so many years, any misunderstandings should be resolved." Xia Yuan didn't wait. After talking to Yan Qing, another girl picked up the topic and said with emotion, "At that time, we girls liked to be noisy, and we played together, and we still played when we broke."

The topic gradually led to the former friendship, and everyone also pulled their little friends to sigh about their closeness at that time, but Xia Yuan and Yan Qing, who heard those words just now, did not look very good.

The two people who fought each other as soon as they met, and the Century reconciled, it would be good if they didn't rip each other in front of everyone on the spot.

Ji Ran saw that the faces of the two were not quite right, and pulled Cheng Cheng and Shi Mu again. The few of them chatted indifferently, and Xia Yuan and Yan Qing did not pinch again.

Halfway through the party, Ji Ran looked at the time, pulled Cheng Cheng and asked, "Everything is in your trunk, right? Has the uncle arrived?"

Cheng Cheng, who was slightly drunk, patted his chest and assured: "I'll do things, don't worry."

Xia Yuan glanced at Cheng Cheng. This man drank a lot, and he started to slap his chest. Cheng Cheng used to be drunk, but he liked to slap his chest with people.

Ji Ran obviously knew Cheng Cheng's habit, so he frowned. Just as he was about to say something, Xia Yuan said from the side, "Don't worry, I contacted the people, and I watched her load the things."

Hearing what Xia Yuan said, Ji Ran breathed a sigh of relief. Xia Yuan was always at ease when she was doing business.

Ji Ran raised his glass with a smile and touched Xia Yuan: "As expected, you are reliable, thank you."

Thinking of what Cheng Cheng said to herself, Xia Yuan brought a smile to her lips, took a sip of her wine and hummed to Ji Ran, "I'm not giving you face."

Yan Qing listened to the conversation of the three of them and guessed that they should be doing something else later.

I originally wanted to ask, but then I thought about it, what action can I take to make Ji Ran so concerned now, who else but Su Mei?

In the past, she was also the person Ji Ran put in her heart...

Yan Qing's eyes dimmed. She raised her glass and took a big sip. The spicy wine was so easily swallowed by her. She was so proud that she didn't want to be seen by her former imaginary enemy. Another classmate beside him chatted.

But she was always absent-minded, and her attention was always on Ji Ran.

The person who kept checking her phone with a smile in her eyes really didn't hide her expectations and happiness at all.

When the party finally ended, Ji Ran hurriedly said goodbye to Yan Qing, and urged Cheng Cheng and Xia Yuan to leave the venue quickly.

Looking at the silhouettes of the three people leaving, Yan Qing clenched the wine glass and slowly drank the rest of the wine into his belly.
