Recently, Jiang Mingyue has been busy with trivial matters, and whenever she has free time, she rushes to see Luo Manlin who has been dating him for a long time.

The two met at a coffee shop on the second ring road. Luo Manlin arrived early, ordered a latte and waited for him on the second floor.

Jiang Mingyue passed by the overpass, and the two of them met each other through the window glass, and both of them laughed.

"Sit down and see what to drink."

Jiang Mingyue sat down, didn't look at it carefully, and then said to the waiter who took the order: "Same as her."

"Then less sugar." Luo Manlin added, "You can't get used to my taste."

Jiang Mingyue smiled at her and said, "Forgot."

Luo Manlin held the glass with both hands and bit the straw in her mouth. She didn't speak for a while, and just looked at Jiang Mingyue.

Jiang Mingyue touched her face and said, "What's wrong?"

"It looks like you've lost weight, but you're not too haggard."

"Live and frisky, haggard or something." Jiang Mingyue said, "It's possible to lose weight. The master who made the clothes told me to eat more, for fear that I wouldn't be able to support myself."

Luo Manlin smiled when she heard this, but lowered her head and didn't answer.

Not long ago, the two of them were still engaged in a marriage contract. As soon as the words came out of their mouths, Jiang Mingyue realized something was wrong.

"...I'm sorry, Man Lin, I didn't think too much about it."

"I'm sorry for what you said." After a while, Luo Manlin said, "I should be sorry..."

"Then no one is sorry." Jiang Mingyue's matcha latte was served quickly, and it was more palatable to replace it with less sugar. "I was called out suddenly, what's the matter?"

Reminded by him, Luo Manlin said "Oh" and pushed the small gift bag in front of him.

"The wedding gift, I will give it to you in advance."

Jiang Mingyue took it and thanked her. Luo Manlin continued, "Our family has already received the invitation. I happened to be away during the two days of your wedding. I'm sorry, Mingyue."

NO.16 next month is five days before Luo Manlin's birthday.

They planned a long time ago that Luo Manlin's birthday would be celebrated at her grandmother's place, a small town near Provence, near the Valley of Roses, and Jiang Mingyue originally planned to go there as well.

Jiang Mingyue thought of this a while ago, so she brought Luo Manlin's birthday present when she went out today.

Maybe this is also a coincidence.

Jiang Mingyue found a small box from his backpack, which contained a car key.

"Birthday present for you." Jiang Mingyue said seriously, holding her chin, "I bet this is the most expensive car you have now."

Luo Manlin opened it and said with a smile, "It's true."

I haven't seen each other for two months, and we experienced the dissolution of the engagement in the middle. The atmosphere was a bit cold at first, but after a bit of embarrassment, it became more active.

The two of them didn't talk much, but fortunately, it wouldn't be as uncomfortable as when they were alone with Yue Zhongshan.

The two of them are real childhood sweethearts with similar personalities. Even though they got engaged with the help of their elders, their way of getting along has not changed much. They are more like friends than lovers.

I didn't have a strong liking, but now it seems like a good thing, at least it saves a lot of unnecessary emotions.

"How about you and him?"

Luo Manlin didn't mention her name, but Jiang Mingyue knew who this "he" was referring to.

"It's okay." Jiang Mingyue said casually.

"Do you get along well?"

Jiang Mingyue was stunned by this question. Seeing Luo Manlin's serious expression, he felt dazed for a moment.

He felt that he hadn't had much contact with Yue Zhongshan, and the occasional meetings were all for the necessary preparations for the wedding.

The only time I went to the store to try on clothes was because it was a tailor-made clothing store that had been passed down for more than ten generations in Haicheng.

For the rest, the brands went to Jiang Mingyue and Yue Zhongshan's homes to determine the details.

Yue Zhongshan's performance has always been the same: reticent, rigid, and indifferent.

After meeting with Luo Manlin today, I need to measure the size of the wedding ring.

According to the brand, there are still some small details to be discussed with him and Yue Zhongshan, so they made an appointment to let Jiang Mingyue go to Yue Zhongshan's office together.

This is the second recent meeting.

They may not have had time to leave a clear impression of each other, let alone good or bad.

"pretty good."

Jiang Mingyue stirred the ice cubes in the drink: "Do you remember, he used to belong to the Taekwondo club, and we went to watch them represent the school in a competition together."

In high school, Yue Zhongshan was a man of the school, handsome, good at studying, and tough-tempered.

He is liked by girls and annoying by boys, but at the same time, he is easily admired. There are very few people in the elementary school and junior high school who have not heard of him.

The issue of the school newspaper that published the photo of him winning the gold medal on behalf of the school's taekwondo club was the only issue that was not used on a large scale to wipe windows during the general cleaning.

Not long ago, Yue Zhongshan went to the junior high school with Jiang Mingkai to help Jiang Mingyue move the dormitory. The classmates around him knew about it and often discussed it, so even though it was only his brother's classmate, Jiang Mingyue still had a relationship with You Rong for a while. .

"Really?" Luo Manlin thought for a moment, then shook her head and said, "I don't remember."

Jiang Mingyue said: "Well, we might have just entered the first year of junior high at that time."

Before coming here, Luo Manlin felt that she had a lot to say to Jiang Mingyue.

For example, her guilt and worry about Jiang Mingyue.

There are still many questions.

Jiang Mingyue's views on Yue Zhongshan, her views on the marriage contract with Yue Zhongshan... After all, she found that apart from the friendship they grew up with, she and Yue Zhongshan were actually very similar.

She and Jiang Mingyue got engaged before, because the elders of both parties wanted more.

On the day of the engagement, because Xu Yingyu had reminded her in advance, no one poured Jiang Mingyue's wine, and he didn't drink a drop.

The friends booed and clamored for a kiss.

At that time, Luo Manlin was already a little drunk, her face was very red and hot, and the atmosphere was so good, but Jiang Mingyue showed a little embarrassment, and a lot of embarrassment, and finally only touched her forehead.

Even when it was just Jiang Mingyue and her, he never seemed to have the thought of holding her hand.

In the past, Luo Manlin always attributed it to Jiang Mingyue's simplicity and introverted personality, and she always believed that she was the only suitable partner for Jiang Mingyue. They understood each other and tolerated each other.

Although she didn't feel how much she loved Jiang Mingyue, she never thought that they would not get married in the end.

Her closest friend, who was always mistaken for a girl when she was in kindergarten, looks clean, and even looks like a boy or a girl. She can be called beautiful but really innocent Jiang Mingyue. For a moment, Luo Manlin had She almost said the urge to "think about it more", but in the end, she didn't speak.

Luo Manlin then asked her best friend to have her nails done, and Jiang Mingyue was going to find Yue Zhongshan to fix the ring. After the two chatted, they broke up at the entrance of the coffee shop and walked in two directions.

There was some traffic on the road, so hurry up, Jiang Mingyue was still more than ten minutes late.

Yue Zhongshan's secretary was still waiting for him at the entrance of the company. Fortunately, the first sentence he said when they met was: "I'm really sorry, Mr. Jiang, the boss has a temporary meeting, and I might trouble you to wait."

He waited better than Yue Zhongshan and so on. Jiang Mingyue bent down slightly, supported his knees and took a few breaths, then raised his hand and touched his slightly sweaty forehead with the back of his hand, and said, "It's okay."

Today the temperature rose to 28 degrees. Jiang Mingyue was wearing a light white coat and black trousers. The top had loose three-quarter sleeves, revealing a section of her fair forearm.

A large area near the Yue's Building was covered with green plants, and a grassy breeze blew over. The cloth stuck to his chest and abdomen, bulging backwards, occasionally revealing a little bone line.

He and Yue Zhongshan's secretary stood under the shade of the expanded platform starting from the fifteenth floor, each with a green heart.

There was a trash can beside him, and two ice cream sticks were thrown into it one after another. The secretary had a smiling expression on his fat, round face: "Thank you for the dessert."

A piece of one five green mood also has a day when it is called a dessert, and it sounds like it has doubled its value.

Jiang Mingyue's lips were red, and she threw the tissue to wipe her mouth in, and said happily, "You're welcome."

Just now, the secretary received a call from the president's office, telling him that the ring engagement was cancelled. Jiang Mingyue was in a good mood after hearing that.

The farewell words had already come to his lips, and the secretary who said the words in two parts continued: "The boss said that he will keep you for dinner, and the grandparents at home will let you go back by the way."

Jiang Mingyue: "I still have to go up?"

The secretary still smiled at Mimi: "Yes."

Jiang Mingyue: Sadness comes too fast like a tornado.

Yue Zhongshan's office was so big that there was nothing new about it. Jiang Mingyue sat on the sofa in a regular manner, didn't move around, and concentrated on solving the fruit that was brought to him.

This time it was not as fast as last time, he actually waited for more than an hour.

The Yue's Building is in the center of the business district. Before dinner, a blunt secretary asked Jiang Mingyue what he meant, and decided to go to the Cantonese restaurant on the 21st floor next door.

There was Yue Zhonglian in the elevator leaving the company, he rushed in before Yue Zhongshan closed the door, stood on the other side of Jiang Mingyue, and talked to him with a smile: "When will sister-in-law come?"

Jiang Mingyue didn't let herself show the expression of being struck by lightning, and replied, "It's past five o'clock."

"Sister-in-law is really young. Just now when I saw you carrying a schoolbag from a distance, I thought you were a student."

"I was originally a student." Jiang Mingyue looked at him and said earnestly, "I'm going to senior year, and I'm on leave now."

"That's a young marriage!" Yue Zhonglian, who pretended not to know Jiang Mingyue's age, sighed with great emotion.

He asked again: "What is in the sister-in-law's bag, is it heavy?"

Jiang Mingyue grabbed her black schoolbag shoulder strap with one hand, thought for a while, and said, "Do you really want to know?"

Yue Zhonglian said, "Think about it."

Jiang Mingyue counted the same items: "Umbrellas, water glasses, car keys, house keys, wallets, mobile phones..."

Yue Zhonglian was a little embarrassed at first, and then smiled until he showed sixteen teeth: "Sister-in-law is really humorous."

Jiang Mingyue: "Thank you, generally humorous."

Jiang Mingyue: "You can call me by my name directly."

"That's not good." Yue Zhonglian refused, "No way."

When we arrived at the underground garage, the elevator door opened, and Yue Zhongshan, who had never spoken a word, asked him, "How do you get there?"

Yue Zhonglian smiled brightly and said: "I didn't drive here today, can I take the car of eldest brother?"

Yue Zhongshan raised his chin sideways: "The driver is over there, go."

Yue Zhonglian was still wondering about his eldest brother's talkativeness, but Yue Zhongshan had already led Jiang Mingyue in the opposite direction.

He was tall and had long legs, so he looked uncomfortable when he walked, but if Jiang Mingyue wanted to keep up, he had to trot a few steps every now and then.

Yue Zhonglian who was left far behind was stunned before asking loudly: "Where are you going?"

The two people in front turned a corner and almost disappeared. The driver of Yuezhongshan told him: "The boss is going to have dinner first. It's on the opposite side. Take the underground passage."

After get off work, Yue Zhongshan changed into a windbreaker, which was not as formal as a suit, and Jiang Mingyue walked beside him, so there was no contrast.

The time waiting for the food to be served was extremely difficult in the universe. Jiang Mingyue exhausted all her skills and endured it. After 3 minutes, she still met her gaze and said bravely, "Isn't your cousin coming to dinner?"

Yue Zhongshan said: "He has a wife himself."

"Oh..." Jiang Mingyue didn't quite understand the connection between them, "His wife cooks delicious food?"

Yue Zhongshan didn't speak.

Jiang Mingyue: "Have you eaten?"

Yue Zhongshan: "..."

Yue Zhongshan: "I have never been to his house."
