Ning Jue lowered her eyes and carefully put the ring back into the drawer. This ring was like the last straw that overwhelmed Ning Jue, he was suddenly tired of this kind of relationship.

He has been immersed in this beautiful dream for too long, Ning Jue thought, he can no longer deceive himself.

People are so insatiable, after a small wish is fulfilled, they will want more. When that unreachable person is standing in front of him alive, although he knows it shouldn't be, he still can't help but want to get close.

Fortunately, he hadn't fallen deep enough, let alone He Dingxi.

It was originally impossible, but fortunately he never expected it.

Xiao Keran's house is a Chinese-style garden villa located on the outskirts of the city. The villa is surrounded by mountains and rivers, surrounded by green bamboos beside the high courtyard wall, and has excellent privacy.

Today is Xiao Keran's birthday, and two big red lanterns light up in front of the monument outside the gate.

All the guests who came to Xiao Keran's house tonight were all her friends in the circle. After drinking three dishes and five flavors, the other guests said goodbye and left, only He Dingxi was kept by Xiao Keran.

Xiao Keran and He Dingxi hadn't seen each other for a long time. The two sat on the corridor by the koi pond, making tea and chatting. The weather is sunny tonight, with a hint of the sweet fragrance of gardenias in the evening wind.

Xiao Keran brought out a small plate of seasonal fruits. Seeing He Dingxi's uninterested look, he wondered, "What's wrong? He was silent all night."

"Is there?" He Dingxi then looked away from a white porcelain Buddha statue in the living room and asked, "This Buddha statue was given by Ning Jue?"

"Yeah." Xiao Keran poured a cup of tea and put it on the small saucer in front of He Dingxi: "I didn't expect this kid to be quite attentive."

What Ning Jue gave Xiao Keran was a white porcelain Buddha statue made by a young artist. Xiao Keran wanted to buy it several times before, but the other party was arrogant and unwilling to use money to measure his art work. unwilling to sell.

I don't know what method Ning Jue used, but he finally bought it back.

He Dingxi picked up the teacup and took a sip before he mentioned it unintentionally, "Why didn't he come tonight?"

"I don't know, I originally said that I would come." Xiao Keran emptied the tea residue in the pot and boiled a pot of water again: "I called in the evening to say that I had a temporary job."

He Dingxi lowered his head and blew the tea foam, and then raised his eyes again with a smile on his face: "Why, isn't the thing I sent more sincere than him, why can't I see you being moved and agree with me?"

When Xiao Keran heard He Dingxi mention this, he couldn't help but blame: "It's good, why waste this money. Your company has made a fortune this year?"

He Dingxi didn't answer, and threw the fish food into the pond with a smile.

Xiao Keran glanced at He Dingxi's expression, stopped making tea in his hand, sighed deeply, and said, "Dingxi, I think you already understood in your heart."

A bird landed on a gardenia tree, and a pool of petals fell. Xiao Keran looked at the ripples on the water and said to He Dingxi, "You never really liked me."

Xiao Keran is not a person who can't understand clearly. She has many suitors, and she is never ambiguous emotionally. For so many years, her relationship with He Dingxi has not been cut into chaos, because she knows that He Dingxi's thoughts towards her are different from other people's.

When Xiao Keran met He Dingxi for the first time, he was only in his teens. At that time, he was just a little girl who had just entered the film school. The two played a pair of siblings in the movie, and they appeared equally young in front of the camera.

He Dingxi's mother was a very strong woman when she was young. She was strict with her son and had a strong desire to control. If He Dingxi's performance on the set was not as good as she wanted, she would be scolded by her mother in public.

At that time, He Dingxi was just a teenager. When other children were enjoying their happy childhoods, he had already been pushed around in several crews. What awaits him every day when he opens his eyes is high-intensity work. He does things he doesn't understand, and speaks things he doesn't understand like an adult.

Xiao Keran has been a proud girl since she was a child. She has outstanding looks and a wealthy family. From the beginning, she liked He Dingxi very much. Later, in the gossip of the staff, she learned that He Dingxi also had an ineffective brother, and she couldn't help but feel more pity for the child.

After that, whether at work or in the life of the crew, Xiao Keran took special care of him.

Later, the two collaborated on many works together. Over time, she played a very important role in He Dingxi's growth.

But Xiao Keran understood that He Dingxi was not a man or a woman to her. She appeared when He Dingxi was in the most difficult time, and He Dingxi always regarded her as some kind of sustenance.

With a "pop" sound, a koi jumped out of the water. The sound of the koi entering the water interrupted Xiao Keran's thoughts. Xiao Keran picked up a bunch of grapes and put it in front of He Dingxi, and said, "Dingxi, I really hope that you can have someone by your side. It doesn't matter who you are or what conditions you have, as long as she can love you, love you, and accompany you."

Hearing what Xiao Keran said, He Dingxi suddenly thought of a person.

"I don't want to think about these things at this stage." He Dingxi laughed, and immediately dismissed this absurd thought. He turned to face the pool, and began to feed the fish intently: "Love it or not, it's too ethereal, how can there be any true feelings in our circle."

He Dingxi has stepped into this circle since he was a child, and he has long seen enough of these false feelings that come and go. He Dingxi has been around constantly since he was an adult. But Xiao Keran always felt that he was not a casual person.

Maybe it was the lack of family affection in the process of growing up, or maybe it was because he stepped into the entertainment industry too early to make him feel insecure about his relationship. Over the years, he has never been willing to really devote himself to a relationship.

However, it is impossible for others to persuade this kind of thing, Xiao Keran said helplessly: "You are stinky, 80% of the time you won't be able to find a partner, you deserve to grow old alone."

He Dingxi looked indifferent: "It sounds like someone is rare."
