I love you for the rest of my life

This is the second acquaintance Zhang Juan has seen besides Yan Tong since he was in "Jingxiu Jiangnan" for so long, Xu Ai.

Perhaps, not an acquaintance.

Xu Ai stretched out her hand and patted Zhang Juan, Zhang Juan looked back at her.

"Mr. Xu."

Originally, Xu Ai just came here for dinner with a girlfriend, but she didn't expect to meet Zhang Ju'an by chance. She was very happy.But Zhang Ju'an said "Teacher Xu", which made Xu Ai feel sad for a moment.

Xu Ai still smiled and asked: "Ju An, why are you here? Didn't you go home after the summer vacation?"

"I'm doing a part-time summer job here."

"So how are you feeling? Tired? Busy? Also, where do you live? Are you safe? Are you alone or with friends?"

Xu Ai asked Zhang Juan a series of questions uncontrollably. She felt a little anxious in her heart, and this eagerness was out of concern.

Zhang Ju'an didn't answer, and didn't know how to answer, he just stood there, Xu Ai's greetings made him at a loss what to do.

"Teacher, I'm fine, thank you for your concern."

Another sentence from Zhang Ju'an was like a blow to the head, Xu Ai was a little at a loss, and even felt desolate.

If sister Xu Nuan was still alive and Zhang Haichao was still alive, then they should have been a happy family.Unfortunately, fate is not in control.

Xu Ai was silent, but also sad.

Zhang Ju'an just wants to go away now, he still resists this way of getting along in his heart.Except in any kind of time when two people meet alone except at school, in fact, each of them is very painful, so it would be better not to see each other.

"Teacher, I will go to work first."

"Juan..."

Zhang Juan nodded politely, then he turned and left.And Xu Ai, who hesitated to speak, finally chose to remain silent.After she paused for a while, she adjusted her mentality and walked back to her dining table to sit down again.

The best friend asked her: "Xu Ai, where did you go? You were in a hurry just now, I didn't have time to ask you, you just ran away like a rabbit."

"Where can I go! I just went to the bathroom, and now I'm back."

"Ha, I'm afraid you will run away and renege on your debt."

"Don't worry, if you can run, the monk can't run away from the temple. Isn't it just a meal, I can really run away?! Besides, your stomach is only so small, don't slap your face and pretend to be fat."

"That's no good. Since you've said that, I have to slap my face to make myself fat again today. I have to eat you up."

"See if I can give you the ability!"

……

Xu Ai, as always, seemed to be back in his teens when he sat with his best friend.As long as the two get together, they will bicker, and neither will let the other go.

Only Zhang Juan, Xu Ai didn't mention a word.Some scars can only be blended under the skin and flesh, and they will not see the light of day for many years.

Ever since Xu Ai met Zhang Ju'an once in "Jingxiu Jiangnan", she always remembered this matter when she returned home.Although many days had passed, Xu Ai's heart couldn't settle down no matter what.

Early this morning, Xu Ai came to "Jingxiu Jiangnan" again.This time she was not with anyone, but came alone, and she wanted to meet Zhang Ju'an.

Xu Ai found a random place and sat down, then she ordered a cup of coffee.

"Hello, your coffee is ready."

"Thank you."

Xu Ai rested her hands on the table, holding the coffee in her hands, and she kept looking at the waiter who had just left in a daze.He was about the same age as Zhang Juan, and they wore the same uniform.

Holding the coffee, Xu Ai was very hesitant, afraid of disturbing Zhang Ju'an again.This is not good, really not good.

Xu Ai struggled until the coffee in her hand became cold, and she came back to her senses in a daze.

After hesitating again and again, Xu Ai made up his mind that it would be nice if he could meet him.

Just in time, the waiter who just brought her coffee appeared again, and he was walking towards Xu Ai's next table with something ordered by another customer.

Seeing that he was done, Xu Ai smiled politely and said, "I'm sorry to bother you, but I want to ask if there is a waiter named Zhang Ju'an here? I have something to do with him."

The waiter Xu Ai asked was none other than Zhang Juan's roommate Wang Ye.

"Look for Zhang Ju'an! That's unfortunate, he's resting today, and he's not here."

Xu Ai was a little disappointed, what a coincidence!

"Then, thank you."

"It's okay, it's just a matter of raising your hands, you're welcome."

Xu Ai sat back on her seat with a look of loss, she sat there blankly for a while.

Ten minutes later, Xu Ai took out his mobile phone and called Zhang Juan.Xu Ai asked Zhou Xingzhi for Zhang Juan's number.

The phone was connected quickly, and Zhang Juan's voice came: "Hello."

"Ju An, it's me."

Xu Ai paused for a moment, and then said, "It's me, Teacher Xu."

Teacher Xu... Xu Ai took the seat by himself as if laughing at himself.

"Well, Teacher Xu, what can you do with me?"

"Ju An, I came to 'Jingxiu Jiangnan' to look for you. The waiter here told me that you are off today, so I..."

"Teacher Xu, are you in 'Jingxiu Jiangnan'? You came here to find me, what's the matter?"

Xu Ai felt bitter in her heart: "Actually, I'm here for nothing, just to see you."

Zhang Juan on the other end of the phone was silent, he didn't know how to answer, so he kept silent.

"Ju An, let's meet. It won't be long. Where are you? I'll go find you."

"Teacher Xu, no need, you can stay at 'Jingxiu Jiangnan', I'm not far from there, I'll be there in a while."

"Well, okay, I'll wait for you here."

Xu Ai hung up the phone, feeling apprehensive, but also looking forward to it, unable to calm down for a long time.

Ten minutes later, Zhang Juan appeared in "Jingxiu Jiangnan".Xu Ai has been looking towards the door since he hung up the phone, so when Zhang Juan appeared, Xu Ai saw it at a glance.

Xu Ai waved to Zhang Ju'an: "Ju'an, here."

If Xu Ai could calm down a little, she would definitely give her negative marks for her performance at this moment, she was too unreserved.Seeing Zhang Juan appear, she was very happy, so happy that she had lost the stability she should have at her age.

On the other hand, Zhang Ju'an always had a calm expression, as if no matter what he faced, he could deal with it calmly.

Zhang Juan sat down opposite Xu Ai, and when he walked to the table, he called out first: "Teacher Xu, I'm here."

Another sentence, Teacher Xu, Xu Ai was like waking up from a dream, and was poured with a basin of cold water to cool her heart.

Afterwards, Xu Ai withdrew her earnest gaze, and she lowered her head and smiled as if comforting herself.If emotions can also be divided into five flavors, Xu Ai has already accounted for two flavors at this time.One bitter, one sour.

"Ju An, how have you been recently?"

"I've been living a fulfilling life, where's the teacher?"

"Me, I'm fine too. Then...do you live not far from here?"

"Well, not far."

"Is... safe?"

"Well, there's another roommate."

"That's good, at least have a little partner."

"Ah."

Xu Ai was a little panicked, she actually had a lot to say to Zhang Juan.But every time I saw him, those words seemed to be out of focus, which made Xu Ai feel a deep sense of powerlessness.

Xu Ai asked some small things about Zhang Juan's life. When she asked, Zhang Juan would answer, occasionally adding: "Where is the teacher?"

Words come and go, like Tai Chi.After Xu Ai asked for a while, she realized that Zhang Ju'an hadn't ordered anything to drink yet.

"Ju An, what do you like to drink?"

"No need, teacher. Anyway, I won't sit for too long. I don't really like to drink anything at this time, except water. So, don't bother."

Xu Ai's smile was half-rigid, she couldn't show the posture of eloquence in the school classroom at all, and now she seemed to bite her own tongue even when she said a word.

"Well, actually I... I just want to ask you what you mean, I want to take you home, I don't want to hear you just call me teacher."

Finally, these words were uttered, Xu Ai had always had expectations for Zhang Juan, whether it was before or now, she wanted to win over Zhang Juan.

Although Xu Ai has gone to Xiang Jiufeng many times, she has never been able to persuade Xiang Jiufeng.

Every time, Xiang Jiufeng would go hysterical: "Ju An is my child! He is my life, don't try to take him away from me!"

Even so, Xu Ai had no choice, because she also cared about Zhang Juan, because Zhang Juan was none other than her sister Xu Nuan's only child.

Xu Ai has tried many times, but this time is different, Zhang Juan has grown up, he has the right and opportunity to choose.As long as he said yes, Xu Ai could be desperate.

However, at this moment, Zhang Juan, who was sitting opposite Xu Ai, didn't feel much fluctuation in his heart, his heart was like those tall sycamore trees rooted in the small town of Qingtian, unshakable.

Zhang Juan said: "I have a family, and I live a very happy life. Because I have two mothers, I will remember them all my life, and I will always remember them after death. One is Xu Nuan and the other is Xiang Jiufeng. They are very important in my heart. Same. So, I won't go with you, and I don't want to."

After Xu Ai heard Zhang Juan's words, the tip of her nose became sour, and her throat felt like a stick in her throat for a moment. She should have known this answer a long time ago, but she didn't dare to admit it, and she didn't want to admit it, because she couldn't bear it.

"I know, but, after all, she has no blood relationship with you. Even your father got the certificate from her out of gratitude, because she took good care of you and your father. Later, in order to help her get rid of that man named Li Chang's gambler, your father married Xiang Jiufeng, they didn't even hold a wedding banquet, they just received a nominal certificate."

Xu Aiyue felt more and more clear-headed as she spoke. She analyzed Xiang Jiufeng's past almost heartlessly, like an executioner with a knife, or in other words, she lost herself a little now, because she wanted to win Zhang Ju'an too much, even though she also After fighting for more than ten years, this is about to become her inner demon.

"No matter what you say, Xiang Jiufeng is my mother, always has been, and I will not go with you."
