The deskmate was Cheng Hua, and for many years to come, He Jinxi refused to think of her.

She had to admit that although she was responsible for what she did, she felt uncomfortable.

When surrounded by gossip and disliked by his family, He Jinxi regretted that he let his ignorant feelings be too casual and caused such a disaster.

But later on, when he was older, had seen a lot, suffered the grievances he deserved, and the struggle he deserved, when He Jinxi thought of Cheng Hua again, only a little bit of insignificant doubt remained.

Wondering what happened back then, wondering what kind of life this person is living now.

So among the tens of thousands of private messages, He Jinxi read the ones sent by Cheng Hua several times.

She said, I am Cheng Hua, and I want to say sorry to you.

She said, you are amazing, you have always been so brave and enviable.

She said, can I see you again.

He Jinxi clicked into her Weibo homepage, only to find that there were only a few retweeted lottery draws, and not many traces of real life.

So the old doubts were turned out, and under the impetus of certain emotions, it was increased, and it became imperative.

He Jinxi shook Zheng Xiao's hand and said, "Okay."

She replied to Cheng Hua's private message, and soon received her contact information.

The two added WeChat. He Jinxi did not doubt the identity of the other party. She had a strong premonition that this was the beginning and the end.

He Jinxi sent the address, which was at the village entrance of Zheng Xiao's house.

Cheng Hua came down and set a time with her.

The day after tomorrow, not near or far.

He Jinxi didn't care much, and continued her happy life, but Zheng Xiao bought a lot of meat and vegetables, and was still sharpening her knife in the yard, like a silent butcher.

The appointment time was eleven o'clock in the morning, but at ten o'clock, He Jinxi received a message from Cheng Hua, saying that the plane was delayed, maybe an hour later.

He Jinxi replied to her calmly: [It's okay, be careful. 】

She turned her head and stared at Zheng Xiao: "She actually came here by plane!"

Zheng Xiao was chopping minced meat, and a word drifted coolly through the crackling sound: "Is it a private jet?"

"How is it possible." He Jinxi smiled, "I didn't expect her to be so far away."

Zheng Xiao: "We are destined to meet from a thousand miles away."

He Jinxi stared at her without saying a word. Three seconds later, Zheng Xiao turned to look at her: "Honey, I was wrong."

He Jinxi: "It's okay, you continue to eat, I like to see you jealous."

Zheng Xiao: "I won't eat."

He Jinxi: "Eat."

Zheng Xiao: "I really don't want to eat, are you hungry? Let me make you some first."

He Jinxi: "Not hungry, I'll eat with her when she arrives."

Zheng Xiao: "Oh."

He lowered his head and chopped the chopping board until it crackled.

He Jinxi couldn't be happier, she really likes to see Zheng Xiao jealous.

Before being with Zheng Xiao, she always felt that she didn't have the ability and charm to make Zheng Xiao always like her, care about her, and give up the whole forest for her.

After being together, Zheng Xiao showed with her actions that she didn't have that personality at all when she was in love.

He Jinxi often wonders why a girlfriend like Zheng Xiao didn't have a relationship for more than three months before, but when she came to her senses, she hadn't been in love for three months yet.

He Jinxi could withstand a downward curve, she quietly waited for time to kill her enthusiasm, but time passed day by day, the curve did not go down, but climbed steadily.

Every time you care, every jealousy, every compromise, is a rising arc.

Cheng Hua finally arrived at the entrance of the village. After getting off the car, she called. I wonder if it was He Jinxi's delusion. She always felt that she had an accent from a strange place.

He Jinxi arrived at the entrance of the village. The taxi had just left, and Cheng Hua was wearing a rumpled cotton skirt. After seeing that it was her, he began to smile awkwardly.

She was carrying a very heavy bag, and He Jinxi walked up to him and took the bag: "It's hot, right? The journey was hard."

Cheng Hua was a little at a loss, and waved his hands: "It's okay."

Her gaze rested on He Jinxi's face for a few seconds, and then quickly drooped. He Jinxi led her inside: "It's a bit out of the way here, but it can be cooler. It's been really hot in the city lately."

"Yes, it's hot." Cheng Hua responded.

When there is nothing to talk about, just talk about the weather.

But the two of them walked a step apart, and even talking about the weather was embarrassing.

Soon, at the door of Zheng Xiao's house, He Jinxi looked up, Zheng Xiao had just come out of the living room, the apron was still on, but the clothes underneath were changed.

Her hair was neatly combed and tied into a ponytail, and her face still had the dampness from a fresh wash.

It looks very refreshing, with a dark wooden door frame, like a summer breeze.

He even dressed up specially, He Jinxi couldn't help laughing.

Cheng Hua followed her gaze and met Zheng Xiao's gaze. Zheng Xiao stood there without moving, his face calm and calm.

He Jinxi said: "Let me introduce, this is my girlfriend, Zheng Xiao."

Cheng Hua nodded: "Hello."

He Jinxi: "This is my high school classmate, Cheng Hua."

Zheng Xiao finally moved, took a few steps forward, and said, "Hello."

Although it still looked expressionless, He Jinxi knew that Zheng Xiao would be a little stiff, scrutinizing, and a little tense.

She was so nervous, but He Jinxi relaxed, and turned to joke with Cheng Hua: "I knew you were coming, Xiaoxiao had already prepared the ingredients, and she waited an extra hour, and she said it might not be fresh."

Cheng Hua panicked and said, "I'm sorry, the weather over there is not so good today..."

"It's okay." Zheng Xiao interrupted her, "Then I'm going to cook."

After she finished speaking, she turned her head and went into the kitchen. He Jinxi pushed open the door of the living room: "Come in."

There is air-conditioning in the room, and everything is calmed down.

Although Zheng Xiao has tidied up the room since He Jinxi came, but she has too many things, no matter how tidy they are, they are still packed to the brim.

Weird little things, like a grotesque grocery store.

Cheng Hua's attention has been taken away by these things since he entered the room, and his eyes wandered around for several times, with obvious curiosity.

He Jinxi put down the heavy luggage and went to get a drink from the refrigerator: "Just look, she is a human figure artist, and she likes to tinker with these little things."

Cheng Hua got the consent, and finally browsed boldly with confidence: "I read her Weibo, she is very powerful, these things are really exquisite..."

He Jinxi didn't speak anymore, she leaned against the sofa and looked at Cheng Hua silently.

More than ten years later, the girl is no longer a girl, but she still looks the same.

At this time, He Jinxi remembered that at that time, she liked Cheng Hua's eyes the most.

Cheng Hua has a pair of very beautiful eyes with very thick eyelashes, always revealing innocence and curiosity.

Now, no matter what she has experienced, no matter where her life has gone, she still has her innocence and curiosity standing in front of her.

He Jinxi suddenly didn't want to ask anything, and felt that it was not very meaningful.

Cheng Hua relaxed a lot when he sat down after reading those gadgets.

He Jinxi motioned her to have a drink, and simply chatted with her about these things, what they were used for, and how they were made. Cheng Hua's eyes sparkled when he heard this, and when he laughed, there were dimples on his lips.

Zheng Xiao pushed the door open and came in, what he saw was this harmonious scene.

She pursed her lips and said, "It's time to eat."

"Ah, okay." Cheng Hua stood up, "I'll help you..."

"No need." Zheng Xiao refused her, "You sit down."

If someone else said this, it would be polite, but if Zheng Xiao said it, it would be really rude.

Cheng Hua was frightened, and he really froze in place, not daring to move.

He Jinxi opened the small dining table used by two people on weekdays and turned it into a long and large dining table.

When Zheng Xiao served the dishes, Cheng Hua raised his hand blankly, and He Jinxi set the table and chopsticks: "You don't have to worry about it, just wait and eat."

All the meals are served on the table, cold dishes, stir-fried dishes, dry pots, soups, meat, vegetarian, salty, and sweet, the table is full.

With the posture of a full banquet, it is too much for three people.

He Jinxi glanced up at Zheng Xiao, Zheng Xiao met her gaze, took off her apron, and sat next to He Jinxi.

Cheng Hua was opposite them, with his hands folded on his lap, his back stretched straight.

Zheng Xiao picked up the drink and said, "Eat."

Cheng Hua quickly picked up the drink and raised it like a toast: "Thank you."

He Jinxi patted Zheng Xiao's arm: "It's so serious."

Cheng Hua: "Not serious, not serious."

Zheng Xiao raised his chin and landed on the big dish in the center: "Try it."

Cheng Hua tasted this dish for the first time, and immediately praised it as soon as it came into his mouth: "It's delicious!"

Zheng Xiao: "..."

Cheng Hua: "Really!"

Zheng Xiao lowered his head and poked the rice.

Cheng Hua quickly tasted the rice: "Wow, what kind of rice did you use, it smells so good..."

Zheng Xiao: "..."

He Jinxi looked at her with his chin propped up, Zheng Xiao: "Ordinary long-grain incense."

That's really the topic of conversation.

At first glance, Cheng Hua is someone who often cooks by herself on weekdays. She is curious about what cooking techniques Zheng Xiao uses and what ingredients she uses, so she can't wait to take out a small notebook and write down all the techniques.

He Jinxi originally thought that this meal would be difficult, but the three of them quickly found that strange balance in this difficult relationship.

No one mentioned what happened back then, and no one asked what the background of life is now.

Only talk about the simplest topics, and only express the simplest and most direct emotions.

After eating, Zheng Xiao didn't stop Cheng Hua from carrying things into the kitchen.

After all the dishes were brought back, Zheng Xiao was about to start tidying up, and Cheng Hua rolled up his sleeves and was ready to help.

Zheng Xiao stopped and looked at her.

Cheng Hua's hands were all submerged in the water, and he stopped, looking back at her with timid eyes.

"Don't forget what you are here for today." Zheng Xiao said, "She needs an explanation."

Cheng Hua was stunned, the harmony mask he had put up with great difficulty was torn off, revealing a bloody gash.

She opened her mouth, and after a long time, she could only make one sound: "I..."

Zheng Xiao lowered her head and continued to work, saying: "Go and talk to Jinxi."
