She Belongs To Me

The showers had just stopped, and the sun was still shining the next day.

After plugging in headphones for the whole night to listen to music, Jiang Ci didn't sleep well, so she got up early to buy a cup of coffee, and on the way to the record store, she received a call from Huo Zhenzhen.

"Aci, are you awake?" Huo Zhenzhen's voice sounded like she had hidden hundreds of gossips and wanted to share them.

Jiang Ci replied to her: "I have something to do, and I'm already on my way."

"That's good, I'm afraid you won't wake up and disturb your rest." Huo Zhenzhen changed her tone, "Guess who looked for me early this morning?"

Jiang Ci: "Who?"

Huo Zhenzhen: "Gu Xiaowei! Hahahahaha, do you know what he said?"

Jiang Ci: "..." What happened, Huo Zhenzhen suddenly had such a gloating tone.

Huo Zhenzhen didn't keep it secret: "Didn't he want to marry his colleague? Yesterday during the Mid-Autumn Festival, their family went to visit the woman's parents and wanted to set a date. His colleague said before that his father is a teacher and his mother is a doctor—cough, What! Her father is indeed working at the school, but as a doorman, and her mother is at the hospital, and she is just a nurse. Gu Xiaowei's mother is more particular about one person. At that time, her face was so long. Gu Xiaowei stayed up all night , call me before dawn."

This turning point really made people laugh and cry, Jiang Ci asked Huo Zhenzhen: "Why did he call you about his colleagues?"

Huo Zhenzhen: "He blamed me for breaking up too quickly, if I really loved him, I should have stalked him and never let go, so that he would be ruthless, so he wouldn't go to the stage of talking about marriage with his colleagues. "

"..." Jiang Ci was amazed: "He must be brainless."

"He's insane." Huo Zhenzhen approved of Jiang Ci's evaluation, and said with a smile, "But I said, 'You two are really in love, how can I have the heart to beat the mandarin ducks'."

Jiang Ci couldn't help laughing when she heard that.

Huo Zhenzhen: "Ah Ci, you know me. Although I look heartless, what Gu Xiaowei did really hurt people. But the phone call this morning made me understand that he is just a dog. Stuff! The two years I've been with him have been like a dog!"

Huo Zhenzhen can figure it out, Jiang Ci is naturally happy for her.The two chatted for a few more words, Huo Zhenzhen asked Jiang Ci: "Where did you spend the Mid-Autumn Festival yesterday?"

The scene in the kitchen played back in his mind, especially the "little liar" that Lu Xingxue said. Jiang Ci raised his hand to drink coffee, and took a while before replying: "Lu's family."

Huo Zhenzhen: "Have you seen Tong Zhenni recently?"

Jiang Ci: "No. How to mention her?"

Huo Zhenzhen: "After that night at the bar, I seemed to see Tong Zhenni appearing with that 'Romeo' at a birthday party of one of my customers, but I'm not sure, there were too many people at the scene, they disappeared in a blink of an eye, I'm afraid I just admitted the wrong person, so I didn't tell you."

Jiang Ci: "It doesn't matter if you tell me or not, she has already grown up, and she has the freedom to make friends when she is awake."

Huo Zhenzhen: "Anyway, you can just listen to her affairs as gossip."

Jiang Ci: "I understand."

Huo Zhenzhen: "Oh, by the way, let's have dinner at the store tonight, come and have a supper together, Crayfish, are you free?"

Jiang Ci thought for a while: "It should be possible."

Huo Zhenzhen: "Alright then, see you tonight."

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Ci clicked on the address book, slid her fingertips, and her eyes fell on Lu Xingxue's name.

Huo Zhenzhen mentioned Tong Zhenni and "Romeo", reminding Jiang Ci that she still owes Lu Xingxue a meal.She stared at the screen, somehow remembered the phrase "little liar", her ears felt inexplicably hot, so she immediately locked the screen and threw the phone into her bag.

The record store was going to make a record for a pianist who was notoriously critical and would sometimes get mad at a half-centimeter difference in bench height.Jiang Ci has worked with him before and knows his character well, so he paid [-] points of attention when tuning.

"Om - hum -"

He was busy until noon, and when there was still the final finishing touch, Jiang Ci caught the vibrating sound of his mobile phone.She ignored it, the movement stopped, and then sounded again.Jiang Ci looked towards the corner where the bag was placed. After a few seconds, she walked over and took out the phone from the bag.

Assistant Yao's voice came through the receiver: "Miss Jiang, Mr. Lu has temporarily changed his itinerary, and he is now at the Moby Whale Pavilion."

"Okay, I see, thank you." Jiang Ci hung up the phone calmly, and went back to the piano to continue working.

The person in charge of the record shop saw that the time was about the same, and wanted to go to the recording studio to invite Jiang Ci to have dinner together after the end.Unexpectedly, when he pushed open the door of the recording studio, he saw the tuned piano placed safely and securely, and Jiang Ci was not there.

While contacting Jiang Ci, he went around to ask the front desk, and the front desk said, "Miss Jiang? She left after finishing her work, as if she was in a hurry."

G City Aquarium, because of the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday, there is an endless stream of tourists in the Beluga Whale Pavilion.

Many children lie on the glass, like a group of small sparrows, forming a group spontaneously. Wherever the beluga whale swims, they will follow with their short legs and chirping. Sometimes they are far away, and their voices can still be heard Laughter.

Although the surroundings were noisy, Lu Xingxue was not affected much.She sat quietly for half an hour before getting up to leave.

As soon as Assistant Yao saw her get up, he immediately followed her: "Mr. Lu, do you want to leave now?"

Lu Xingxue nodded.

Assistant Yao paused for two seconds, then looked down at the time: "I left the materials for tomorrow morning's meeting at the company, and Luo Mingliang went back to pick them up for me. He is already on his way here, but he may not arrive in a few minutes."

As she said that, she pushed her glasses: "There is no other itinerary today, the deer always sit a little longer, or should I call you another car?"

Lu Xingxue stopped, glanced at her, and said softly: "Don't worry, let him not hurry too much."

"what is that?"

"……Mermaid!"

"Look, there are mermaids here!"

"Where is there?" A group of children jumped and jumped excitedly, you squeezed me, I pushed yours and ran past Lu Xingxue.When Lu Xingxue evaded, he turned around, and inside the closed glass, the light strips dyed the entire water surface blue, and the beluga whale rolled lazily inside.

Mermaid?There is no mermaid performance in the Moby Whale Pavilion, Lu Xingxue can't help being puzzled.

One second, two seconds...

The silver-white fish tail flashed behind the white whale, and then, a slender figure appeared in her line of sight.

Assistant Yao heaved a sigh of relief visibly.

The mermaid is from top to bottom, and when swimming, her body is graceful and charming.

Ginger Porcelain! ?

Ginger porcelain.

For a certain moment, Lu Xingxue couldn't hear the noise around him, and couldn't see those figures coming and going.It was as if a ray of sunshine had been poured into the blue deep sea, and the beautiful mermaid stretched her limbs in that beam of light, which was the only freshness she could perceive.

The eyes of the two met in mid-air.

Jiang Ci dragged her fish tail and swam slowly in the water. Lu Xingxue opened her eyes wide and walked slowly along the closed glass following her rhythm.

……

Jiang Ci found it very interesting.

Undoubtedly, as the heir of the Lu family, Lu Xingxue showed her mature and introverted side in front of others, but right now, she was curiously revealing an innocent expression that was clearer than those of the children around her.

Maturity and innocence, which are originally two contradictory qualities, are strangely integrated in her.

Jiang Ci dived down to the level of Lu Xingxue's line of sight, the two looked at each other, Lu Xingxue subconsciously blinked, and her long eyelashes flickered.

Both innocent and ignorant, there is a huge sense of contrast.

Jiang Ci's heart skipped a beat, she separated her five fingers, and pressed her hand on the glass.

The children flocked to stand on tiptoe, cheering and jumping to high-five the mermaid through the glass.

Lu Xingxue's fingers curled slightly, and she was about to raise her hand, but Jiang Ci ran out of breath, swung her fish tail and swam away.

After simply taking a shower and drying her hair, Jiang Ci changed into the clothes she had when she got in, and when she was arranging her makeup in front of the mirror, the embarrassment in her heart was beyond words.

On the day of the death of Lu Xingxue’s parents, Jiang Ci contacted Assistant Yao on the return journey, first asking her to reveal Lu Xingxue’s itinerary for the Beluga Whale Pavilion, and second asking her to say hello to the Oceanarium and allow her to enter the water.

Jiang Ci's original intention was to bring some comfort to Lu Xingxue when she was unhappy.But after the time point that aroused her compassion, if she did this again, she would be no different from a fool in any way.

How would she explain to Lu Xingxue what she did just now?

Encourage her, tell her "don't be unhappy", "you've done a good job" etc.?But whether Lu Xingxue is happy or not, if she doesn't take the initiative to bring it up, Jiang Ci shouldn't make it up on her own.

That's not what she should be doing.Given her relationship with Lu Xingxue, it might not be a big deal to occasionally give gifts, but such a thoughtful dive to make her happy is a bit more than that.

If Assistant Yao hadn't been troubled already, and if the time was not so tight today, Jiang Ci thought, she might have given up on this impulsive idea.

——Taking a step back, will Lu Xingxue really be comforted by this?Still feel inexplicable and incomprehensible?

The more Jiang Ci thought about it, the more embarrassed she became.She supported the sink, took a deep breath, and watched herself in the mirror return to her expressionless expression.This is her safest armor, she said to herself, she has done everything, there is nothing she can't face.

Leaving the shower room, Jiang Ci saw Lu Xingxue the first time she went out.

"..." There was a pause under his feet, and Jiang Ci walked over as if nothing had happened.

Lu Xingxue was waiting for her, saw her come out, went up to meet her and asked, "Is it okay to stay in the water for so long?"

Jiang Ci: "I have a diving certificate, and I find a place to dive every year. It's fine."

They don't interfere with each other's itinerary. When Jiang Ci goes on vacation for a short time, she usually doesn't notify Lu Xingxue additionally. In her impression, it seems that she has never mentioned this to Lu Xingxue.

Lu Xingxue: "Ah~...So that's how it is."

The freshness is like a bubbling spring. This person has known each other for more than three years, but it seems that they have just met.

Jiang Ci brushed her hair behind her ears. When she did this, Lu Xingxue's eyes followed her fingers, passed her cheeks, and fixed on her ears.

The setting sun came in from the window, against the light, Jiang Ci's ears were almost transparent, and he could see the bloodshot under the delicate skin.

It was only then that Lu Xingxue realized that there was a very small red mole on Jiang Ci's ear.

Jiang Ci: "I just..."

As soon as she opened her mouth, Lu Xingxue's eyes returned to her face.She waited intently for Jiang Ci to say something, but Jiang Ci frowned in embarrassment.

Lu Xingxue took half a step forward and stopped.

One second Jiang Ci was thinking about how to explain to Lu Xingxue so as not to look so awkward, and the next second Lu Xingxue stretched out his arms and hugged her.

"Thank you." Lu Xingxue pressed against Jiang Ci's ear and said softly, "Today is a happy day."

Today is a good day.

——Any explanation seems superfluous, Lu Xingxue understands everything!

This etiquette hug broke at the touch of a touch, and both of them smiled tacitly and unanimously.

They left the aquarium together, Lu Xingxue asked Jiang Ci: "If I remember correctly, you still owe me a meal?"

Jiang Ci didn't speak immediately.

Lu Xingxue: "Did you forget?"

Jiang Ci: "I really forgot if you didn't mention it."

Lu Xingxue's eyebrows stretched: "Then let me treat you."

Jiang Ci: "..."
