Thinking of someone, Ji Shucan's eyes darkened, her appetite suddenly faded, and she slowly put down her chopsticks.

Zhou Yunxiao has always been very observant of women's thoughts. He noticed the change in her mood and suggested, "How about we go for a drive to eat?"

Ji Shucan clicked on the dial of his watch: "Look at what time it is? If you have anything to say, you might as well say it directly."

It was almost twelve o'clock, and she wanted to go home to take a shower and sleep. She had a court session tomorrow and had a lot to do, but she was not interested in eating, drinking, and driving around with him.

He gestured around: "Do you think this is a good place to talk?"

Ji Shucan was silent.

"Since I treated you to such delicious egg fried rice, Judge Ji, how about you go for a ride with me again?"

Fine. With some unexplainable thoughts, Ji Shucan agreed.

Zhou Yunxiao drove her east to the river.

On the riverside late at night, there was only a faint light, the night wind blew the waves, and the tide lapped the shore. Ji Shucan and Zhou Yunxiao stood side by side by the river embankment, feeling the coolness that was different from the daytime.

A strong wind came in the evening, and the dark clouds in Ji Shucan's heart slowly dispersed.

Her brows were relaxed, and the corners of her lips were slightly hooked.

She has been in Hecheng for more than a year. If she thinks about it, she has never been out for fun. Not to mention holidays, she has been working hard even on weekends, dealing with all kinds of felons.

Nervous and depressing. The judgment of every case is made with great care and no room for error.

Over time, the whole person becomes depressed, both psychologically and physically.

But tonight, standing here, looking at the river under the night, her mood also broadened. Sure enough, the old saying is true, nature can heal people's hearts.

"I remember, the first time I came here was with you." A slight smile appeared on her lips.

"Really?" Zhou Yunxiao didn't quite remember.

"Back then you said it would be more fun to have a barbecue by the river at night."

Then a bunch of people, carrying barbecue grills, charcoal and various meat skewers, started grilling in a mess.

Among all the young masters, who can do such rough work?

Zhou Yunxiao was the only one who had a girlfriend at that time, and all eyes were on Ji Shucan. She panicked and rubbed her hands in confusion: "Me... can't do it either."

If she is so unable to do it, will Chen Chuan be disappointed in her?

But since she was a child, her parents have only asked her to study hard.

She has never touched housework. She doesn't even know how to use these things, and she can't even pretend to understand.

Well, after their hopes were dashed, Xi Chen, Lu Jun and a few other boys began to work on their own to study how to light up the fire.

Only Chen Chuan stood quietly on the bank, looking at the river without speaking.

She walked over quietly and stood beside him, wanting to have a word with him.

Then--

"I want to be alone, thank you."

Ji Shucan, who had a high self-esteem, blushed, lowered his head and left.

Zhou Yunxiao comforted her at that time: "Ah Chuan doesn't like girls to come within five meters of him. Don't provoke him. It's not worth it to cry in anger."

It was that time that made her wonder if her idea of ​​getting close to Chen Chuan through Zhou Yunxiao was too stupid?

Well, it's true that he doesn't treat her like other girls, who will make people cry and faint with just one or two words. He even knows her name, and she can appear next to him without being ostracized.

But that was all, she was not in his eyes at all.

Apart from the name of a friend's girlfriend, she is nothing else.

Then, she made up her mind to confess her love, and the result...

Thinking of this past incident, Ji Shucan sighed. It was strange. It obviously happened more than ten years ago, but she remembered every expression on his face and every word he said to her clearly.

Over the years, every time I think about it, my heart aches.

After falling in love with Chen Chuan, she could no longer have a crush on anyone.

She turned her head and looked at Zhou Yunxiao seriously for the first time in her life.

To be honest, Zhou Yunxiao is a handsome guy, very handsome. Especially a pair of peach blossom eyes, always smiling and capable of discharge.

When he looks at you intently, you will have the illusion that he loves you very much and dotes on you. No wonder many little girls in the court are fascinated by him and talk about "Zhou Lv" every day. .

Even her clerk was not immune.

"Why are you looking at me like this? Suddenly you realize that I'm handsome too?" Zhou Yunxiao raised his eyebrows at her.

She turned her head, hesitated to speak, and finally did not ask.

Zhou Yunxiao knew what she wanted to ask as soon as he looked at her face.

Looking at the riverside, he said to her softly: "Achuan gave birth to a daughter."

Ji Shucan pinched the fabric of his pants hard with his fingers.

The suit fabric, which was originally not easy to wrinkle, was pinched into tight wrinkles by her.

"The reason why you agreed to go out for dinner and drive with me is just to get some news about him from me, right?"

She remained silent and did not refute.

Zhou Yunxiao continued: "The baby is very beautiful and cute. She looks a lot like him. He loves this daughter very much and takes care of her personally, treating her like a baby."

Ji Shucan's breathing became rapid.

"I really never thought that a person like him would pamper a child like this." He turned his head and looked at her: "Do you know why he likes this daughter so much?"

She opened her mouth and found that her throat was so dry that she couldn't utter a single word.

"Because that is Shen Xi's child."

The sour feeling in Ji Shucan's eyes became stronger, and she turned her head unnaturally, pretending to look at the scenery.

"It can only be Shen Xi, not any woman."

She tried hard to control herself and not let the tears fall.

Zhou Yunxiao sighed: "Shu Can, go back to Jing City."

His voice seemed to be coming from afar: "That's your hometown, with your parents and people you know well."

"Hecheng is too far away from there, one to the south and the other to the north. The reason why you came here alone has long since disappeared. Why not just go back."

"So what if I wait any longer? He won't change. It's been more than ten years, don't you still know?"

"A woman's youth is precious. How long can you withstand waiting year after year? Especially when you know there is no hope. If you continue to persist like this, will you regret it when you grow old in the future? ?”

She didn't know which of his words stimulated her, and she suddenly lost control of her emotions.

"What do you know? Why do you say this about me? Who said I was... I stayed here for him?"

Zhou Yunxiao looked at her with gentler eyes, filled with deep sympathy: "Aren't you?"

"I……"

That wasn't it, she couldn't say.
