don't sacrifice

Under the New Year's prosperous fireworks, her phone call was to the person in front of her.

Two years ago, Kan Zhen was arranged to study in the United States, where she met Qin Chuan, who was five years younger than her.After two people met for a week, they decided to get married.This marriage came suddenly and went quickly. In just one and a half years, they agreed to divorce.After that, Kan Zhen returned to the country, and the two basically lost contact, and the separation lasted for two years.

Kan Zhen looked at Qin Chuan, and suddenly felt that her lips and teeth were a little dry, and all the words she wanted to say withered in her throat.Qin Chuan didn't say anything, just looked at her like that, with a standard and polite smile.

She has seen him like this a lot, but in that short marriage, he has maintained that kind of politeness with a sense of distance for a long time.The so-called acquaintance is like a guest in his population, but more of them are unfamiliar.

"Hey, why are you standing up?"

However, when the two were looking at each other speechlessly, Luo Shannian came back.Holding a glass of water, she walked slowly behind Kan Zhen, then looked at the man who was staring at her openly, and whispered, "Who is this, so handsome..."

"Uh..." Kan Zhen glanced at the banknotes in her hand, the water in the cup was still emitting white smoke.She immediately understood that this was the hot water this girl had found for herself, and she couldn't help being moved.

"This is me... a friend." Kan Zhen hesitated for a while, and introduced to Luo Shannian like this.

"Hello." Qin Chuan greeted Shan Nian, still smiling politely.

Su Nian's gaze scanned the room between the two of them back and forth, she just saw the two of them getting together from a long distance, and felt that the atmosphere was a bit strange, so she stepped forward to ask on purpose.However, at this moment when Kan Zhen received her gaze, she actually dodged a little, which made her feel that the relationship between the two was unusual.

Just when she was about to ask more questions, Qin Chuan suddenly raised his hand, waved and whispered not far away, "Jun Hao, here!"

Kan Zhen and Shan Nian looked back together, only to see a man in white at the entrance of the shopping mall not far away who received his call and walked towards them with a smile.

"This is Wei Haojun." When the man got closer, Qin Chuan naturally wrapped his arms around his waist, and the smile on his face became vivid and real, "My incumbent."

"Ah?" Hao Jun was a little confused by his sudden introduction, and his cheeks flushed instantly. "This is Kanzhen, I mentioned it to you before." Qin Chuan bowed his head and introduced him with a very intimate gesture.

"...That's it." The moment the word 'incumbent' came out of his mouth just now, Kan Zhen's expression froze for a few seconds, but he returned to normal in an instant, "I see, it must be you who mentioned it That one. Congratulations to you!"

Luo Shannian pursed her lips, she had already seen the relationship between these three people from the words and deeds.And presumably the three of them have known each other's identities for a long time, but no one has said it out now.

"Thank you." Hao Jun extended his hand to Kanzhen politely, but glanced at the smiling face a few more times when shaking hands.He had heard Qin Chuan mention his ex-wife a long time ago. According to Qin Chuan, this wife seemed to be perfect and virtuous. The divorce between the two was only because he still couldn't let go of himself.Thinking of these words from time to time would make Hao Jun a little jealous, and Qin Chuan knew it well.So after meeting Kan Zhen today, he deliberately called Hao Jun over on a temporary basis, hoping that his worries would be relieved after seeing Kan Zhen in person.

The three exchanged some more pleasantries before breaking up. Qin Chuan was also busy with business recently, and because he thought he had neglected Haojun a while ago, he took him out for a stroll today. It is estimated that the two of them will be together again after returning home this time. Separated and busy with their own affairs.

Su Nian looked at the two of them walking away, and when she turned her head and saw that Kan Zhen's gaze had not been retracted, she gave a rare sigh, handed her the paper cup in her hand and said, "That man is your ex-boyfriend, now you have A new partner, and then come here on purpose to give you trouble?"

Kan Zhen took the water, the water in the cup was already slightly cold, but still had the residual warmth of the girl's palm. "He's not." Her tone was light, she drank the water as soon as she raised her head, wiped her mouth with the back of her hand and said, "I know him, he loves that man deeply. And once he falls in love with someone, he will become Some unreasonable, not so caring for other people's feelings."

She bowed her head and continued after a moment of silence, "It's just that he has never treated me like this."

A car slammed past them, leaving behind a cloud of smoke along the way.Su Nian covered her mouth with one hand, and waved the other to sweep away the smoke and dust.Just from the turbid air, I saw the eyebrows of the people on the side drooping, and there was a faint light in their eyes.At this moment, she couldn't understand the meaning of the dim light, but she suddenly noticed the unique temperament of this woman.Suddenly she felt that she could imagine how beautiful she would have been in her most youthful years many years ago.

"Well, don't read any more." Luo Shannian tugged at the corner of her clothes, as if to comfort her, "...Do you still need me to persuade you? If so, I'll just advise you—— Forget about him, you'll meet someone better."

When Kan Zhen turned her head, she met the girl's clear and serious eyes.She suddenly found it interesting, and burst out laughing, her shoulders trembled slightly, until finally, the corners of her eyes were a little moist.

"What are you laughing at?" Shanian felt a little embarrassed by her smile, turned her head away in a fit of anger, and muttered, "I kindly persuade you that you are still laughing here? Do you have any conscience!"

"Really, why are you talking to your master!" Kan Zhen finally held back her laughter and knocked on the forehead of Shan Nian.This time, the two seem to be much closer, "Okay, don't worry about me... think about yourself first when you have time."

"Good intentions are not rewarded!" Su Nian rolled her eyes, turned around and strode back, "No more patrols, I'm going to eat!"

"Hey, wait for me..." Kanzhen sighed helplessly, noticing that Shan Nian's footsteps had slowed down slightly, she hurriedly followed...

Police station

Zhou Qichen took a break from his busy schedule and just sent a text message to Xiaobai.The tone of the text message was very nasty, almost half of it was nagging exhortations and concerns, while the other half was the tone of a child acting like a spoiled child.After sending the text message, the corners of Zhou Qichen's mouth twitched unnaturally. He could imagine Xiao Bai's dumbfounded expression after seeing this text message, and thought it was cute.

Originally, he thought that he was ten years older than Xiaobai, so he should be more mature in this love.But who knows the fact is just the opposite, he is getting worse and worse by that brat, and the ability to act like a baby is self-taught.I guess it's because Xiaobai is getting more mature.

"Ding Dong"

At this moment, less than half a minute after the text message was sent, Zhou Qichen's cell phone rang a text message notification tone.He thought to himself that Xiaobai replied quite quickly this time, and hurriedly took out the mobile phone that he had just put back in his pocket.

But what was displayed on the screen was indeed a letter from an unknown number.Zhou Qichen raised his eyebrows - who else would send him a message - with doubts, he swiped open the lock screen.

--"Same place."

After Zhou Qichen read that sentence, he couldn't help frowning slightly.This unsigned message baffled him. He had never had a so-called old place with anyone, not even Xiaobai.

So who could this be?

He raised his head subconsciously, and suddenly the big banyan tree opposite the police station appeared in sight.That tree has a history of about a hundred years, and it has almost witnessed the growth of the entire city under its feet. Perhaps countless people have stories there.Zhou Qichen was one of them. Seven years ago, he watched Xiaobai and his sister leave under that tree, and then entangled with Shen Luli several times there, and finally broke up cruelly.And that time, when he kissed Jiang Yuan by mistake, it probably also witnessed the whole process.

However, at this moment, he vaguely saw a figure standing under the tree.The south wind messed up his hair, so that he could not see his face clearly.But he felt that that person was waiting for his arrival.
