New love

Jiang Yun stopped, and his heart that had just calmed down was clenched again. Looking up, Qin Zhao's eyes were sharp, and he looked at this side deeply, with no expression on his face.

At this moment, she seemed to be choked by the throat, and she would lose her life at any time, but then she became calm again, and she said calmly, "I smoked a cigarette."

She is a person who seldom tells lies. Whether it is at work or in private, she has always been one and two is two, and she never hides anything.

She was indeed smoking in the corridor, but she was not the only one hiding there, and she had done more than one thing.

After saying this sentence very calmly, she intentionally or unintentionally exposed the smoke that was almost crushed in her hand, looked at Qin Zhao frankly, and asked in a slightly raised tone: "Why?"

How blatant the person in front of him was when he cheated, how unscrupulous Jiang Yun is now. It's all a show, and no one loses.

Qin Zhao didn't speak, and stood there refusing to move away. She lowered her eyes to look at the half of the crumpled cigarette. The fine hair on her forehead covered half of her face, making it hard to see clearly. She didn't know if she was thinking or thinking. hesitate.

Jiang Yun remained silent and confronted her quietly, waiting for her to speak.

She thought she was already like this, with a restrained face, she would definitely have an emotional attack, but after a while, Qin Zhao was relieved and chose to believe.

"No, just asking casually."

For a moment, Jiang Yun thought that she was just pretending that she didn't want to break the fragile status quo, because once something is broken, it will never be put back together again.After all, Qin Zhao kept the cheating secret so deep, he just didn't want to let her go, and he still clings to it, maybe trying to cover it up.

But Jiang Yun found out from her eyes and demeanor that she really believed it, without any doubts.

Jiang Yun was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect to pass so easily.

The Qin Zhao at this moment is the same as she was back then, almost the same, with absolute trust in her heart, but in a different situation.

She collected her thoughts and didn't bother much, then nodded, "Going out."

After saying that, he casually threw the wrinkled and rotten cigarette into the trash can beside him, turned around and left.

Qin Zhao followed, and when he was almost at the end of the aisle, he grabbed her hand with a little strength, fearing that she would throw him away.

It was too late for Jiang Yun to break free, the tavern owner and the others saw her coming out holding hands, thinking it was a reconciliation, they all greeted with smiles.She didn't make it too obvious, and turned her wrist secretly, trying to break free from Qin Zhao's restraint, but she couldn't move too much, and she still couldn't break free after all.

When it was noon, the owner of the tavern politely asked everyone to have dinner. Some people had something to leave in the afternoon, but Jiang Yun didn't stay. Using the previous excuse as a shield, everyone had good eyesight and didn't stop them. Politely let her go first.

Before leaving, Jiang Yun found out that Lu Nianzhi was not there, and he didn't know where he had gone, maybe he had already left.

When she went out with her front foot, Qin Zhao followed her with her back foot, making it hard to tell.

Jiang Yun is not in the mood to fight now, and he doesn't want to tear his face into a fight. He is so far away from the tavern, so he prevaricates Qin Zhao: "I want to go out for a while. I don't have time. I have something to say later."

"Where are you going?" Qin Zhao grabbed her again.

Jiang Yun stopped, holding back his impatience, "Over there in the southern district."

"I send you."

"Need not."

But Qin Zhao still insisted, "I'm fine this afternoon, I can take you there."

Jiang Yun pulled out his hand without any trace, and dodged half a step to the side, unwilling to touch it, "You didn't even drive here, and you still wear stilettos, how do you give it away?"

"Go to the intersection ahead and take a taxi." Qin Zhao said, getting closer, but didn't grab her hand again, probably because he sensed her impatience and forbearance, and knew not to push too hard.

But even so, Jiang Yun still said: "I can take a taxi by myself, don't follow."

Qin Zhao refused to let her go. Seeing her hesitate to speak, he murmured for a moment, and said softly, "We haven't seen each other for almost five days."

It has never been like this in the past. No matter who is on a business trip, they will never be so alienated and indifferent after returning to City C. Jiang Yun's response is too abnormal, so heartless that it doesn't look like her.

Qin Zhao is well aware of some things, but he just doesn't want to face them.

Jiang Yun would not do what she wanted, he lost his patience, raised his hand to stop a taxi, and bent over to sit in it, no matter what the person behind him had to say or what mood he was in.

She has been in a mess recently. When she first found out, she almost lost her mind and couldn't find her way. She finally calmed down. Now that Qin Zhao is still hiding herself, she still feels at ease, as if nothing happened, and all the derailments are gone. It was her suspicion out of thin air, and she still couldn't contain the anger in her heart. The more she got in touch with this person, the more it seemed that when she just discovered the clue, she couldn't control it and she would get confused.

Seeing her getting into the car so resolutely, Qin Zhao went over to hold the door and said, "I'll look for you again at night."

Jiang Yun ignored it.

"You moved to the old house?" Qin Zhao asked.

North Street is a commercial street, and at noon is the time when the traffic volume is high. The middle-aged driver in front didn't care what they did, turned around impatiently, and asked, "If you don't get in the car, get out of the way. There is still traffic behind you." Come on, don't waste time!"

Jiang Yun's face was as usual, but he was not angry: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

She resisted Qin Zhao's hand and closed the door at once.

"Sister," Qin Zhao said quickly, "I'll wait for you at the old house later."

Jiang Yun turned his head and said nothing.

There were other cars urging behind, and the driver didn't stop for a moment. He started the car and left the moment the door was closed. But after a while, the distance became farther and farther, and soon he could no longer see the other party.

The driver was grumpy, but he was not bad. After driving for a while, there were fewer cars around, so he looked behind in the mirror and saw that Jiang Yun was silent, so he asked a lot: "That was you just now. Friends, did you quarrel or what happened?"

People in this line of work basically talk a lot, regardless of whether the road is long or short, they always have to chat with passengers.

Jiang Yun turned his head to look at the lush trees that flashed by the roadside, and after a moment of silence, he replied slowly: "No."

The driver smiled, thinking it was duplicity, young people, that's what happens when their temper comes up, they are very impulsive.He glanced at the mirror again, then turned the steering wheel, and said in the tone of someone who came here: "I think she cares about you, she was so anxious just now, I'm afraid I missed something, she's not bad, she's actually a good person."

The driver didn't understand, and there was nothing to explain. He thought they were just good friends, and it was an ordinary conflict between young people. He didn't know that the two of them had been intimate for several years, and they were once a couple who loved and knew each other.

Jiang Yun wouldn't take this to heart, looked away, was dumb for a moment, and hummed perfunctorily.

Everyone said that Qin Zhao was good, whether it was friends around her or people who were not very close, she also thought so for a while.

After leaving North Street, Jiang Yun didn't go to the South District, but went to the University Town to seek refuge with his friend He Yu.

Qin Zhao is so persistent, she will definitely not be able to go back to the old house these two days, or she will have to entangle her again.

He Yu is Jiang Yun's classmate and friend. They have known each other for many years. He Yu is relatively low-key and now runs a coffee bookstore near the university town.

She and Qin Zhao know each other, but they don't know each other very well, and they don't talk much when they meet. They have little contact with each other, and they only have more contacts with Jiang Yun. Going to her place is the only choice.

Jiang Yun called in the car and told He Yu that he would stay for two days. He Yu didn't ask a word, and replied: "Yesterday, I was still thinking about going to your place when I'm free this weekend. If you want to come, I don't have to go."

The two had the best relationship when they were studying. After graduation, they both stayed in C City to work hard. They did not miss dinners and travels. It’s just that Jiang Yun has been busy with work in the past two years and has been on the rise. He either works overtime or travels all day long. To accompany Qin Zhao, the contact with He Yu gradually decreased.

But fortunately, the communication has decreased, and the relationship will not fade.

"Busy in the store?" Jiang Yun asked, counting the time, it was the meal time, and the weather was so hot, the business of the coffee bookstore must be good.

Sure enough, He Yu replied: "Well, there are quite a lot of people at noon, and they all come in to buy water, and they are a bit busy. What about you, don't you go to work today?"

He Yu didn't know that Jiang Yun had resigned, and thought he would leave at night.

Jiang Yun said: "No, I have to rest for a while."

He Yu on the other side of the phone paused for a moment, thinking that he had misheard, and while holding the phone between his head, he was busy working. He must have sensed something was wrong, and stopped when he wanted to ask a few questions, and finally changed his words: "Are you in the car?"

Jiang Yun's tone was calm: "I'll be there right away."

He Yu was silent for a moment, Xu was thinking about what to say, stirred the drink in his hand, and said softly: "That's fine, I can't spare my hand here, come and help me quickly."

Jiang Yun hummed, "Then I'll hang up."

He Yu should be fine.

There is no need to talk too much between friends, and there is no need to explain something too clearly, just a few words can be understood.In the past, Jiang Yun put too much emphasis on love, and put Qin Zhao ahead of himself and everyone else. No one can compare to him. Now it has come to nothing, and he doesn't know how to tell others about it.

When it was good at the beginning, how could I have thought that this would happen. If I could have predicted it, I would not be so careful.

It doesn't matter if you have thorns all over your body, or your attitude is cold and hard, and no matter how free and easy you are in front of outsiders, if you lose in this emotional bet, you lose.

Perhaps a failed relationship is like this, even if you try your best to break free from the shackles of the past, but in the process, no matter what, if you are unwilling, let go or don't care, you have to break your big teeth and swallow your blood.

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Yun calmed down and rubbed the center of his eyebrows a little tiredly.

WeChat for payment after getting off the car.

Remembering that there was still a friend request that could not be processed, Jiang Yun clicked in again, hesitated for a while, and clicked accept.

The WeChat ID of the blank avatar immediately appeared at the top of the chat interface, with a self-contained message attached:

"Lu Nianzhi"
