I was the first to catch up

"Look, there is a very hidden button here, you just need to press it to automatically call the police. If someone is going to harass you at night, keep calm, press this button, and then try to delay the time until the police come—"

"—Fang Ranran, can you stop doing these weird things all the time."

Fang Ranran was knocked on the head by Yu Xiaomin after he finished speaking, Jiang Lingyu smiled helplessly, and heard Yu Xiaomin say:

"Why don't you get a surveillance camera that you set up at our door when you have this time? Isn't it more convenient?"

"I've got that one a long time ago. There's one in the store, and one at the door. It's 360 degrees in all directions without dead ends—"

"—Well, yes, as expected of our Lord Fang."

Jiang Lingyu looked even more helpless, she watched these two people singing together in front of her, although they were only going to Ming'an for a few days on business, this scene made it seem like they would never come back.Yu Xiaomin even told her:

"Actually, you don't need your help at night. You work hard in class during the day, just rest. I want other employees to come and help."

Jiang Lingyu shook her head and said it was okay. She said that anyway, she would open a small window at night and there were not so many customers, so she could write lesson plans while helping out.

Hearing this, Yu Xiaomin was still muttering something over there, "If I had known, I wouldn't have opened the small window at night...", causing Fang Ranran next to her to curl her lips and smile.

Their previous barbecue supper plan was put on hold due to the busyness of the branch, and now they decided to open a small window at night, just like the window dedicated to buying desserts in M ​​Ji, selling some steamed buns and sausage snacks and the like.

Originally, there were employees in charge of this work, but Jiang Lingyu said that she could be responsible for this matter by the way.Because she is an intern in No. [-] Middle School, she lives on the second floor of the store these days, so it will be very convenient for her to go to work. She can just sit by the window at night, wrap up snacks and pass them to customers.

"That's what it says—"

Yu Xiaomin wanted to say something else, but Fang Ranran stopped her:

"Since Jiang Lingyu has said so, just trust her once. She is already in her 20s, and she will definitely not force herself anymore."

Fang Ranran glanced at Jiang Lingyu when he was talking, Jiang Lingyu blushed a little, as if thinking of what he had done in the past.But this time it's really okay, she nodded and echoed Fang Ranran's words.

"If I'm tired, I'll tell you straight up, Mom, don't worry about me anymore."

Yu Xiaomin had no choice but to accept. Before she left, she touched Jiang Lingyu's hair and asked her to take good care of herself. Jiang Lingyu smiled when she heard this, and blinked playfully and replied:

"Mom, you are the one, don't tire yourself too much."

Why does it sound weird.

Yu Xiaomin patted Jiang Lingyu, and then was called away by Fang Ranran who was standing at the door.After they left, the store was completely quiet. Fang Ranran took one last look at Jiang Lingyu who was in the store. The door was closed, and she suddenly sighed.

"what happened?"

Yu Xiaomin put her arms around her shoulders, she asked, Fang Ranran shook her head:

"It's nothing."

They walked side by side on the street, ready to go back and pack the rest of their luggage before leaving.Side by side with Yu Xiaomin, Fang Ranran walked slowly under the setting sun.This feeling has always been good, so good that Fang Ranran hopes to experience it again and again in the future.

——It will never get boring.

Fang Ranran smiled, then frowned suddenly, and looked to the side - there were a few pedestrians passing by in a hurry, nothing special, but she still stared at one of them and left, looking thoughtful.

She muttered softly:

"I remember it was next month..."

"Fang Ranran—?"

After a few steps slower, Yu Xiaomin was already ahead.She turned around and called Fang Ranran's name. Fang Ranran's attention shifted, and she followed her, leaving behind her doubts just now.

Forget it, she must have thought too much.

Fang Ranran took Yu Xiaomin's hand again, and she didn't look back, so she didn't realize that the person she was staring at was standing there, looking back at her.

The man was wearing a black baseball cap and a face mask, the brim of which was pulled down so low that her eyes could barely be seen.

After Fang Ranran and Yu Xiaomin walked away, the man dared to raise the brim of her hat. She took off her mask, took a few breaths of air with some difficulty, and her cheeks were flushed.Fanning the wind, she whispered:

"Since when did you guys get along with the proprietress so well?"

This person—that is, Guan Buyu, she looked very dissatisfied, but she was not very surprised, after all, Fang Ranran, who was as determined not to return to China as she was, now stays in Huanjiang every day, and Guan Buyu uses his toes Want to know what happened.

It's just that she didn't expect that the relationship between the two of them would be as good as before, even better than before.

as if—as if—

Guan Buyu shook his head to get rid of these thoughts, why don't he just force him to ask Ranran later.Don't think about it now, after all, she came back secretly by herself.

Guan Buyu has lived in a small hotel for the past two days, because she knows that even if she just lives at home, Fang Ranran will definitely find her.

And now that Fang Ranran is so close to Jiang Lingyu, Fang Ranran will definitely do something when he finds out, which is not what Guan Buyu wants.

All she wants to do now is confirm.She wanted to confirm how Jiang Lingyu was doing now.

Not through other people's words and her own speculation, she wanted to see Jiang Lingyu with her own eyes, and this was the purpose of her return to China this time.

Guan Buyu always feels like she is sitting on a boat with oars, surrounded by fog, and the river is spreading in all directions. She can choose to go forward—never look back, or she can choose to turn back and see when she came. Everything, decide whether you want to turn around and go back.

But Guan Buyu always felt that this would be his last choice.Since then, the river has shrunk, and there is no room for him to turn the boat around.

This is the last time.

At night, Guan Buyu casually bought some fried rice on the side of the street. The rice was a bit cold, so she stuffed a few mouthfuls indiscriminately, and went into the flower shop on the corner of the street—the boss was also having dinner, and he wiped his hands and wanted to go forward , Guan Buyu stretched out his hand to stop him:

"It's okay, I'll just take a look, you eat yours."

The boss closed his eyes and said nothing, as if he thought she looked familiar, but he didn't say anything after all, he just sat down and ate while watching TV.

And Guan Buyu looked at the breakfast shop opposite through the gaps between the leaves and petals among countless flowers and green plants.

At this moment, Jiang Lingyu is there, maybe studying at his desk, or planning to rest.

Guan Buyu knew that what she was doing was not very good, but this was the only way she could think of now, to be able to see Jiang Lingyu without directly facing her.

It's not very accurate to say "following", she just waited where Jiang Lingyu might appear, took a look at her from a distance, and then left.That's all.

Two days ago, the first time she did this was at the gate of No. [-] Middle School.She waited there with her pockets in her pockets, passing by many students in No. [-] Middle School uniforms, which made her feel nostalgic and remembered many things.

At this moment, she could suddenly understand why Yu Xiaomin took the initiative to talk to them because they were wearing No. [-] Middle School uniforms.Now she really wants to stop a student at random, and then ask him what's going on in No. [-] Middle School now.

It must have changed a lot, and it is not clear.But there must be nothing changed, Guan Buyu is very sure.

Huanjiang is like this, and so are people.Time goes by, people grow up, and there is always something left behind, thrown away.Maybe it's not some useless garbage, but a pure gem in someone's eyes.So is growing up a good thing?Guan Buyu still doesn't know.

Watching these young and immature faces pass by, Guan Buyu always thinks of such things.

She remembered what the teacher of the professional class said to herself, she said, Guan, you look dull and don't understand anything.But I can tell from your paintings that you are not a stupid kid, you are sharper than anyone else.

That was the first time Guan Buyu received such an evaluation.

So she kept on drawing.She grew up in the painting and became the present Guan Buyu.

It is wonderful to think sometimes that the conditions for it all to begin - to ripen - come from an incomparable pain.So my thoughts will still return to that sentence - Is it really worth it to exchange Jiang Lingyu for growing up?

"Teacher Jiang!"

A call aroused her from her thoughts, Guan Buyu raised her eyes, and saw a group of students surrounding Jiang Lingyu who had just come out of school—it was Jiang Lingyu, absolutely right.It was the first time Guan Buyu—I can't remember exactly, but I haven't seen Jiang Lingyu for several years.

This kind of distance can't see many details clearly, but Guan Buyu can still see many differences.Jiang Lingyu looked thinner than before, but she was not as fragile as before, as if she would fall if the wind blows.

She stood there, pushing her glasses—they really suited her, half-rims with silver rims.She knows how to make up more than before, very light makeup, but good enough and refreshing.Her neck is white and delicate, and one cannot help worrying whether she will feel cold in this kind of weather—just as Guan Buyu was thinking this, Jiang Lingyu took out the scarf that she seemed to have forgotten to tie from her bag, and gently Gently tie yourself.

Guan Buyu's heart beat so fast, it was useless for her to laugh at herself, but this level of sympathy was enough to make her heart beat again - until she started to waver, and began to regret why she came to see her secretly.

This feeling happened again on Saturday, which was the day before yesterday.

The morning before yesterday, Guan Buyu wanted to try his luck at the breakfast shop to see if he could meet Jiang Lingyu.She didn't know that Jiang Lingyu was now a teacher and got up much earlier, so she failed every time.

But it was the weekend, so she saw Jiang Lingyu, and other people.

There were two cars parked in front of the breakfast shop, and she saw Wu Jingjing holding Jiang Lingyu's hand at the door, she looked very happy, bluffing, similar to what Guan Buyu remembered.She saw several men and women standing beside her, they seemed to be Jiang Lingyu's friends.

Guan Buyu realized that she had broken into an appointment party, and she felt a little timid, perhaps because her behavior at the moment made her feel a little inferior, which made it even more sad.

Just before she started to leave, Guan Buyu saw a tall boy appearing in the car - she recognized this man and this face, and she had to admit that he looked really handsome when she saw it with her own eyes.That was the boy who often stood next to Jiang Lingyu in the group photo.

As soon as he appeared, those people started booing, the sound was not loud, but Guan Buyu covered his ears and fled there.Even though he had run to a place where he couldn't see the breakfast shop at all, Guan Buyu still seemed to be able to hear the booing. All these scenes seemed to imply one thing:

Jiang Lingyu is living happily now.

Is happy without her also very good.

"Hey, how long have you been watching whether you still want to buy it or not."

The boss's urging made Guan Buyu wake up. She looked around and realized that she was in a flower shop.She said sorry in a low voice, looked around the store, was taken aback when she saw the stars all over the sky, and then said casually:

"Then, then this one—give me one."

The boss then went over to pack it for her, Guan Buyu took advantage of this time to look at the opposite side again, the newly installed small window of the breakfast shop had opened, Jiang Lingyu appeared there, she lowered her head, as if she was writing something.

The food in front of her exuded heat, covering her in a familiar mist, this scene was very familiar to Guan Buyu, she took the baby's breath in a daze, and pressed down the brim of her hat when she came out of the shop.

She stood there, only across the road, looking at Jiang Lingyu who was frowning in the small window.

——Then, confirmation is complete.

She smiled and concluded:

All is well, she can leave.And so off, back to Boston—the paddle stroked forward.

Guan Buyu put Mantianxing into his arms, her arms were bulging, obviously there was something else.She looked down at a corner of the thing, thought for a while, and inserted the baby's breath into one of the pages.

In the end, after sending this regret - she no longer has any concerns about Jiang Lingyu.
