Just like what Jiang Lian said, Xie Jingchi stayed here for several days after receiving his graduation certificate.

Probably because of the frequent rain, the summer in Tingcheng is always related to the misty rain.

One morning, Xie Jingchi went back to his small apartment to get the books and materials for review, when the road suddenly began to drizzle, he forgot to bring his umbrella and walked from the parking lot to the downstairs of the apartment, and his body was soaked in just ten meters Wet a lot.

It has been exactly one month since he came back this time, during which time there was no housekeeping to clean, a thin layer of dust accumulated on the floor and furniture, and the floor-to-ceiling glass at the end was also foggy.

Passing through the living room and the hallway, and in the bedroom that also serves as a study, the curtains are drawn tightly so that no light can be seen through, and the bed is covered with a bedspread.

The discomfort caused by the wet clothes made him temporarily forget the purpose of his visit. He opened the closet door, trying to find some clean clothes to change into.

The left half that was already empty belonged to him, and the right...Looking at the suits and shirts that were obviously not his size, he lost his mind for a moment.

In countless sleepless nights, alone, he hugged the coat left by this man, relying on the comfort brought by the tiny pheromone on it... He stretched out his hand mysteriously, and his fingertips hadn't touched the soft fur yet. It shrank back like an electric shock.

He didn't even bother to change his clothes, he hurriedly closed the closet door, leaning his back against the hard wood, and raised his arms to cover his eyes.

There are too many, from the closet to the kitchen, this room is full of traces of another person's life, that's why he was so reluctant to come back at first - he would rather hide with Jiang Lian than face the past .

The house is innocent, and then he has to find some time to clean it up, tidy up and pack these things that don't belong to him, and then let their owners decide whether to throw them away or send them back.

Although the process was painful and difficult to accept, it was the first step to draw a clear line, and he had to step out for the future.

On the day of the return trip, Jiang Lian personally drove Xie Jingchi to the airport without bothering the others.

At the red light ahead, Jiang Lian turned his head, "Xiao Chi, can I ask you something? Xiao Chi?"

Xie Jingchi's eyelids fluttered wildly in the passenger seat and he refused to wake up, as if he was haunted by something.

Jiang Lian's face became more and more ugly, "Xiao Chi!" He raised his voice and decided to shake him awake if he didn't wake up.

"Ah!" Xie Jingchi gasped in shock, and woke up covered in cold sweat.

Jiang Lian handed him a tissue, "Wipe it off."

His unfocused eyes slipped from Jiang Lian's face, "Thank you." His chest heaved violently, his breath was wet and cold, and he almost couldn't even hold a tissue.

"Are you uncomfortable?" Anyone with a discerning eye can see that his current state is not right.

"It's okay." Xie Jingchi held his trembling wrist to force himself to calm down, "I got up too early... I just had another nightmare."

Jiang Lian narrowed his eyes suspiciously, "I remember you went to bed before nine o'clock last night, didn't you?"

His face was originally serious, and this would be no different from that of a black-faced door god.

"Yeah." Xie Jingchi whispered an excuse that sounded perfunctory, "I'm a little sleepy."

Big drops of cold sweat drenched his temples, and his cheeks were not at all rosy as they should be after getting enough sleep, but instead were abnormally pale.

"What do you want to ask me?" He changed the subject calmly.

Jiang Lian stared at him for a long time, but finally gave up on investigating, "I want to ask, you... are you going back here?"

"what?"

Jiang Lian repeated the question, "I mean... have you moved out from Qin Shen's side?"

I don't know if Xie Jingchi heard it clearly, but he just tilted his head and made a sticky nasal sound from his nasal cavity, "Mmm."

"Where do you live now?" Thinking that there might be ambiguity, Jiang Lian added, "I mean, where will you live when you go back?"

"Hotel." He had nowhere else to go but the hotel.

The car ahead moved, Jiang Lian held the steering wheel and put it in gear again, "Xiao Chi, have you considered moving here to live with your uncle?"

Xie Jingchi's eyes turned towards him a little bit, but he still didn't speak.

"Didn't you say you want to apply to the school?"

Seeing that he didn't object immediately, Jiang Lian had the courage to go further, "You can consider moving here. Although uncle is not at home often, the servants at home have been with me for decades, so I don't worry about letting them take care of you. A little. You are alone... Uncle is not saying that you are not good, but... you are often so busy that you don't even have time to eat, or you don't go to bed at two or three o'clock at night. You are young now, and your body will definitely collapse in the future ..."

Seeing that Xie Jingchi closed his eyes again, Jiang Lian sighed, "If you don't want to, uncle can introduce you to some housekeepers. Uncle is really worried about you living alone, and if you want to review, how can there be so many?" Time for everyday chores..."

Xie Mingyao would never talk to him like this - not to mention being a father, Xie Mingyao was reluctant to be called a person.

Xie Jingchi thought, if it was him in the past, he probably refused without even thinking about it.

In the past, he hated Jiang's family's cold eyes and Jiang Lian's hypocrisy, but after getting along with him in the past few years, he had to admit that in his 22 years of life, someone like Jiang Lian treated him from the bottom of his heart without asking for anything in return. There are not many good people.

No matter whether this kindness was due to guilt or other feelings, he should not continue to ruin Jiang Lian's intentions.

"I...I'll think about it." Xie Jingchi didn't finish his sentence, "Thank you uncle."

Jiang Lian was very pleasantly surprised that he was willing to consider this matter, Jiang Lian nodded repeatedly, "Think slowly, uncle didn't mean to force you, and I know you prefer that side... You have made up your mind that uncle will pick you up, Make sure you don't get tired."

Jiang Lian didn't bother him for the rest of the time, Xie Jingchi didn't want to sleep again, but sleepiness was like a cunning rabbit, he couldn't catch it no matter what.

Unable to fall asleep, he stared out the window in a daze: Even though he had studied here for four years, Tingcheng was still a very strange city to him.

Does he like Yungang City very much?he does not know.Indeed, he was born and raised in Yungang City, so theoretically he should have deep feelings for that place, but in fact Xie has seen the big scenery since he was a child, all things seem to hold that much weight in his heart .

In the past, he was always in a hurry to go back because there was someone he dreamed of over there, so what about this time?Why did he go back this time?Obviously that person no longer wanted him.

A slight pain spread from the heart to the internal organs, Xie Jingchi slowly arched his body, trying not to let the people around him notice the strangeness.

This time, he wanted to go back and make a clean break with that person, together with his nostalgia and reluctance.

It only takes two or three hours from Tingcheng to Yungang by plane.

Xie Jingchi knew that his current condition was not suitable for driving, so he made an appointment for a professional pick-up service on the software before boarding the plane.

When he appeared in the airport lobby with his suitcase, there were already people waiting with a huge sign.

He imagined that the drivers who would do this job were basically middle-aged, but the man in front of him was tall and wearing a pair of exaggeratedly large sunglasses. Even if only the lower half of his face was exposed, he could be seen to be quite young, at most Just early twenties.

"Hello, I am……"

"I know, you are Xie Jingchi!" The pick-up man rushed ahead of him and called out his name in surprise, "I thought it was the same name and surname, but I didn't expect it was really you."

In stark contrast to the excited him was the dull Xie Jingchi.

Xie Jingchi searched through his few memories of dealing with people of the same age, but he couldn't find anything related to the person in front of him, "Sorry, are you...?"

He knew it was rude, but he couldn't remember it.

"It's me." The pick-up man took off his sunglasses, revealing a sunny and handsome face, "I'm Zeng Jia from the class next to your high school, I confessed to you the day I returned to school after graduation, do you remember now? ?”

"...So it's you." Xie Jingchi vaguely remembered such a thing.

What he couldn't understand was why Zeng Jia, a good-looking A college student, would accept orders at the airport?

He truthfully conveyed his doubts to Zeng Jia. Zeng Jia scratched his head and said shyly, "My mother asked me to come out during the holidays to be an express driver to earn some pocket money. When I saw a familiar order, I quickly picked it up."

"Oh." After getting the answer, Xie Jingchi didn't continue to inquire about his personal affairs.

Zeng Jia couldn't help saying that he took his luggage, "It is our duty to serve the guests." Afraid that Xie Jingchi would refuse, he added another sentence.

His car was a white SUV, he opened the door for Xie Jingchi before going around to the other side.

"I'll take you to the hotel, if you are satisfied, please remember to give me five stars."

In the first 5 minutes after getting in the car, Xie Jingchi was still worried about how he would answer the conversation if Zeng Jia insisted on chatting with him, but Zeng Jia is a very professional person.

Except for asking Xie Jingchi's opinion on whether to take a detour, he basically didn't say a word during the whole process.

In 41 minutes, Zeng Jia quickly and safely sent Xie Jingchi to the designated hotel in only 41 minutes.

Before getting out of the car, he took out his mobile phone and fiddled with it a few times, calling up a huge QR code, "Xie Jingchi, do you want to add a WeChat?"

Xie Jingchi didn't have the habit of casually adding WeChat with others, "No need."

Zeng Jia, who was rejected, was not annoyed, and took a business card from the box in front of him and stuffed it into his hand without any explanation, "If you don't add WeChat, at least get this one?"

The content of the business card is very simple, just a name and a phone number.

Xie Jingchi held the business card and didn't say yes or no.After a while, his eyes glanced at the trash can in the hotel lobby.

"Before September, if you want a ride, you can call me." Probably seeing through some thoughts in Xie Jingchi's mind, Zeng Jia made a pitiful look, "Part-time retail investors like me can't get a call every day." A few orders, look after my business for the sake of three years in high school, okay?"

Xie Jingchi hesitated for a while, and finally put the business card in his pocket, "Okay, I will contact you if I need it."

Adult socializing should be over at this point, and Zeng Jia also understood this truth very well, and began to perform the duties of the pick-up driver, escorting him to the hotel lobby.

"It's fine." Xie Jingchi lowered his eyes and told Zeng Jia that there is no need to send it off, "Just get here, I'll go up alone."

"Okay, I'm leaving." Zeng Jia waved his hand, turned and left.

Xie Jingchi did not enter the elevator, but handed the suitcase, room card and tip to the waiter closest to him.

"Help me send it up, just put it at the door."

A few minutes later, the bellboy with his luggage went into the elevator on the left, and he went into the elevator on the right.

The 15th floor is the catering department of the hotel. After getting off the elevator, Xie Jingchi pushed open the door of the coffee shop, followed the other party's prompts, and focused on the seat by the window.

It's not lunch time yet, it's the busiest time of the day, and there are basically no customers in the cafe, so the seats with people will be particularly eye-catching.

She also noticed Xie Jingchi's existence, and stood up before he approached.

This is an elegant lady who is slightly shorter than Xie Jingchi, and looks in her late thirties to early forties.

"Hello." The lady held out her hand to him.

There was a short, polite handshake, and before Xie Jingchi felt uncomfortable, she let go of her hand thoughtfully.

"Excuse me, are you Mr. Xie Jingchi?"

"I am." Perhaps it was Xie Jingchi's illusion, this woman looked at him with a bit of imperceptible pity.

Am I poor?When he looked over again, the soft pity had disappeared, leaving only a businesslike and professional smile.

"Let me introduce myself again. My surname is Li, and my single name is Li. I am the lawyer of your husband Qin Shen, Chairman Qin. I asked you to meet to talk with you about how the two property will be distributed after the divorce."
