"I won't run."

At that time, Cheng Suran didn't know that in order to keep this promise, she personally sent herself into the boundless sea of ​​suffering—and she didn't have to step into it.

She doesn't run away, she speaks integrity, and she has the spirit of contract.

Jiang Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, and smiled pretending not to know: "Why did you say that all of a sudden?"

Cheng Suran was not surprised by her "forgetfulness", she looked down at her phone, first clicked on the bank card to receive the text message, then clicked on the WeChat chat box between the two, and swipe to the relevant message.

"Oh--"

Jiang Yu acted as if he had just remembered, handed her the water bottle, and patted her face lightly with one hand, "Hey, don't think too much, sister doesn't mean that."

Cheng Suran nodded obediently, and put away the phone.

The car drove smoothly all the way, and the scenery outside the window slowly reversed.Because of the holiday, there are many cars on the road, and I can't drive fast even on the highway.

After Jiang Yu finished eating the shortbread, he wiped his hands carefully, and drank water one after another. After drinking enough, he screwed back the lid and put it aside.She lowered her head to look at the person in her arms, and only saw half of a slightly haggard little face with long and dense eyelashes hanging down.

My heart was inexplicably pierced again.

When she made the payment yesterday, she did not hesitate to make the decision to pay in one lump sum. On the contrary, she considered various possibilities before finally choosing to trust Cheng Suran.

Before she knew it, in her subconscious, the little friend became a believable person.

A very wonderful intuition.

Her slender fingers passed through the hair, combing it slowly, her eyes were soft, "The person who left didn't really leave. As long as you still remember her, she will always live in your heart."

"Cry when you are sad."

Hearing the sound, Cheng Suran's eyelashes trembled.

For a moment, she didn't understand what this meant. She was stunned for a few seconds, and suddenly realized that her sister probably thought she was sad for her grandma's departure, so she said that.

So her emotions have already been exposed.

Although... not because of grandma.

With a thought in her mind, Cheng Suran turned her face, and met that gentle and powerful gaze, like a spring breeze, sweeping away the dark clouds entrenched in her heart.

At that moment, she was thinking, it would be great if her sister wasn't the benefactor.

She didn't want to explain, she didn't want to tell the truth, she didn't want to tell her sister that she was sad because she felt like wandering, and there was no place to stay.She followed Jiang Yu's words and nodded, showing a cute smile: "Yeah."

"Sister, where is the resort you mentioned?" Changed the subject.

Jiang Yu didn't mention it anymore, and said calmly: "The surrounding area of ​​Jiangcheng is not far away, and it takes two hours to drive."

"Can I...can I ask a question?"

"You said."

"Are sister Yanyan and Lu always good friends?" Just now when Qi Yan was mentioned, Cheng Suran suddenly remembered the awkward meeting in the office that day.

Jiang Yu smiled and shook his head, "They are a couple."

"what!"

"what happened?"

The child opened his mouth into a circle.Suddenly, his shoulders slumped, and he said with a slumped face: "In this case, President Lu will definitely go too. It's so embarrassing."

Jiang Yu raised his eyebrows and looked at her without saying a word.

Cheng Suran pursed her lips and remained silent.

There was a long silence, and there was a very slight sound of friction between the car body and the air, which seemed abrupt in this silence.

"Lu Zhiqiao said, have you ever worked for her?" After a long while, Jiang Yu said lightly.

"But she doesn't seem to know that you haven't graduated yet."

Cheng Suran bit her lower lip, and honestly admitted: "Yes, during the summer vacation."

"You were still working as a tutor."

"Ah."

"Tutor, singer, translator. In other words, three jobs in one summer vacation?" Jiang Yu said every word in a tone that was confusing.

Cheng Suran nodded calmly.

No matter how proud she is to support herself, it cannot make up for the sourness and bitterness caused by covering up the reasons behind it.She can only try her best to control herself, be neither humble nor overbearing, and maintain a fragile decency.

The atmosphere fell into silence again.

Jiang Yu stared at her thoughtfully.

After all, Cheng Suran was still young, uncomfortable being looked at, lowered his eyes, avoided the gaze, and explained in detail: "The jobs of professional counterparts must be full-time, but I only have enough time for part-time jobs, so during the interview I just I said that I graduated, and when I joined the job, I said that I kept my graduation certificate in my hometown, and showed them the copy of Xuexin.com. There were quite a lot of people in that group. When the personnel sister saw the name of the school, she went through the formalities for me directly, and the signature was probationary contract."

Every college student must register with Xuexin.com when enrolling in order to verify academic qualifications.

At first, she didn't have any hope. After all, Xinbei Technology is a big company, and the interview process will be very strict. She might not be able to get away with it. She just wanted to try her luck.

So that's how it went.

The big company has good benefits, high salary, harmonious atmosphere among colleagues, and easy to get along with the leaders. If it wasn't for the start of school in September, she would not want to resign at all.

But from a long-term perspective, she may miss more scenery if she is satisfied with the sweetness in front of her. She still has to continue her studies and try to go outside to see a bigger world.

Thinking about it this way relieved me.

After speaking, Cheng Suran mustered up the courage to look at Jiang Yu.Thinking that she minded this matter, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart. Sure enough, excellent people play with excellent people.

And what are you?

Jiang Yu stared at her with a little surprise in his eyes.

This kid...

You think she is a silly and sweet person who has not experienced much in the world, but she understands everything and has a very smart head. You think she is a precocious and sensible little adult, but she is still immature, and she is transparent in front of you.

I don't know which side is real, maybe both sides, maybe neither side.

Jiang Yu couldn't understand her a little bit.

If you can't understand it, it means you can't control it.

"Didn't HR see that you were a kid during the interview?" Jiang Yu smiled with interest.

"I don't know..." Seeing that she was not angry, Cheng Suran breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed, "Maybe I have more experience, I have interviewed for a lot of jobs, and I have also done similar recruitment positions. I know the trick."

"Oh?" Jiang Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, and gently pressed his thumb on the mole on her lip, "What kind of work?"

Cheng Suran lowered his head in embarrassment, "Sister, why are you asking this?"

"Kids must be obedient."

"Well."

She thought for a while, stretched out her fingers one by one, and said: "After the college entrance examination, I will work as a waitress in the hotel in our hometown during the summer vacation, and then I will work as the front desk in a small company during the winter vacation of the freshman year. Those who don't need a degree, say that I am good-looking." It’s about time. In the summer vacation of my freshman year, the company opened by our senior seems to be called a recruiter. It’s just recruiting people, and it counts as a commission.

She is a little proud.

The corners of Jiang Yu's mouth couldn't help but rise.

"Then I took the driver's license test during the winter vacation of my sophomore year. At that time, I felt that I had to start looking for a part-time job with a professional counterpart. I happened to have passed 'B2' and 'three mouths'. Our teacher recommended me to work as an interpreter for an international exhibition. This is what I did. I’ve had the most meaningful part-time job, I saw so many foreigners, speaking in any language, at first I didn’t dare to take the initiative to talk to them, hahaha—”

Cheng Suran laughed happily while talking, and there was a gleam in his eyes.

Throughout the summer vacation, I worked in the company during the day from Monday to Friday, read and studied at night, tutored all day on Saturday, continued to read on Sunday morning, rested in the afternoon, and went to nightclubs to sing at night.

The busier life is, the more it can bring her a sense of accomplishment and let her get rid of the shadow of the past.But she is still very envious of those classmates who don't have to work while studying.

Tian Lin, who was driving, glanced at the central rearview mirror.

The girl leaned on Jiang Yu's shoulder, her lowered eyes were full of smiles, and her slightly pale cheeks had two small dimples, like a close cuddle between lovers.

"Do you also have to work part-time on weekends?" Jiang Yu also smiled, and continued to ask unconsciously.

"No," Cheng Suran shook his head, "I don't have so much energy to go to class, I think reading is more important."

Jiang Yu's smile froze, and his eyes dimmed.

She turned to look out the window.

The car was passing a viaduct. When she first came to Jiangcheng more than ten years ago, there was no such bridge.Time flies fast, things change.

"Yes, reading is very important." Jiang Yu turned back, smiled lightly, and said, bowed his head and kissed her face.

"Kids should study hard."

Cheng Suran was startled, as if he felt something, raised his head, only to see a casual smile in Jiang Yu's eyes, and heard her say: "It seems that I can't call you kid, I should call you 'Little Youtiao'."

"Huh? But..."

"do not like?"

Cheng Suran nodded and looked at her seriously: "I like it when you call me a kid."

Jiang Yu pursed her lips and smiled, gently scratched her nose, and was about to speak when the phone rang suddenly, she took it out of her bag, it was Pei Chutong.

"Hitomi?"

Hearing this nickname, Cheng Suran pricked up his ears.

"Coco, are you coming to the capital?" Pei Chutong spoke lightly on the phone, sounding in a good mood.But Jiang Yu keenly sensed something was wrong, her voice seemed a little nasal.

"you caught a cold?"

"No."

"Why do I hear you have a nasal sound when you speak." Jiang Yu frowned.

Pei Chutong smiled and said, "You heard it wrong, Jiang Keke, your ears are not working well at a young age."

"Are you at your grandfather's?" Jiang Yu bypassed the topic.

Pei Chutong lowered her voice: "Well, I accompanied him to watch the military parade yesterday, and I asked the crew for two days off."

"You and Ruan..." Jiang Yu guessed a little bit, before he finished speaking, he heard Pei Chutong yelling at someone: "Don't bother me, get out!"

Then the phone hangs up instantly.

Jiang Yu held the phone in a daze for a while, feeling a little worried, dialed it again, was hung up after a few rings, and then received a text message from Pei Chutong: [It's okay, I'm not in a good mood, I'll calm down, I'll see you later explain. ]

She breathed a sigh of relief.

Cheng Suran watched her frown furrowed, then slowly relaxed, tense and worried for a while, relaxed and calm for a while, he couldn't help beating a small drum in his heart.

tongtong?Could it be my sister's other lover...

During the anniversary military parade yesterday, Pei Chutong asked for leave and went back to his hometown in the capital. The family accompanied his grandfather to watch the ceremony.

Grandpa Pei was born in the 30s. He joined the army at the age of 16 and went to the battlefield. He was promoted from a small squad leader to a senior general.Now the old man is more than 80 years old, his body is still strong, his spirit is hale and hearty, his mind is clear, and he is highly respected. He is honored as "Old Chief".

Before the age of nine, Pei Chutong lived with his grandparents in the army compound. He was the most beloved child of the two old people among his grandchildren, so he had a deep relationship with them.

This time, the elder uncles and aunts, brothers and sisters of the same generation, and nieces and nieces of the younger generation all came back.Four generations live under the same roof, the old man is very happy.

As soon as she was happy, she introduced a partner to Pei Chutong.

The man is two years older than her, 1.8 meters tall, elegant and beautiful, a doctor of returnees, from a high-ranking family, his grandfather and Mr. Pei are comrades-in-arms, and they are well matched.

"Tongtong, you guys have been in touch for a while, and then consider it if you think it's suitable. If it's not suitable, just make friends. Don't worry, grandpa will never interfere with your freedom. If you want to do business, you can do business, and if you want to fall in love, you can talk about it." To fall in love, you only need to be frank and upright..." Mr. Pei took his granddaughter's hand, patted it, and spoke with sincerity.

Grandma Pei was cleaning her reading glasses beside her, and interrupted with a smile: "Isn't this considered interference? Looking at you, I can't wait to eat with others for Tongtong."

"Hey, I'm really satisfied with Xiao Xu, but it's useless for me to be satisfied, we need Tongtong to be satisfied."

"Yo yo yo."

The old couple had fun.

Pei Chutong's heart was a little heavy. Although there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, there was no light in his eyes.But she is an actress and knows how to play a granddaughter who makes her elders happy.

"Grandpa, I see. Let's have a meal with him tomorrow to get to know each other."

"Good good."

Mr. Pei was very happy, he agreed repeatedly, then turned his head to look at Ruan Mu who was silent at the side, and waved, "There is also Xiao Mu, come here."

Ruan Mu raised his head abruptly.

She didn't wear a ponytail today, and her black hair was draped shoulder-length, which softened her otherwise rigid face. She was wearing a brown leather windbreaker, looking cool and serious.

Pei Chutong's heart skipped a beat.

"Old chief." Ruan Mu gave a rare smile, got up and walked over, and sat down next to the old man.

Grandpa Pei pretended to be unhappy and said: "You child, why are you still an old chief? The older you get, the more stubborn you become. Those are all false names given by outsiders. We are a family."

Ruan Mu quickly changed his words: "Grandpa."

"Hey," Mr. Pei laughed, took her hand and overlapped with Pei Chutong, "I watched you and Tongtong grow up, eating a pot of food, sleeping in the same bed, and kissing each other." The two sisters are still close, so grandpa won't favor one over the other..."

He started pulling the red thread again.

Ruan Mu panicked, and subconsciously glanced at Pei Chutong, but Pei Chutong also looked at her, and the two eyes met.

She turned away.

Pei Chutong frowned.

The hands of the two overlapped, and the warm temperature spread from the fingertips. She could feel the thick calluses in Ruan Mu's palms, covering the back of her hand roughly, and she could also feel the discomfort of this man.

Ah.

She sneered in her heart.

"Okay, old man," Grandma Pei said at the right time, interrupting her wife's chatter, "I think you are too excited today, stop nagging the children, go to bed early."

Grandpa Pei pouted like a child.

The two breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

The next day, Pei Chutong had a meal with the man, but when she came back, she found that Ruan Mu was having fun with her little niece, and she just came back from outside.

So the two went back to their room and had a big fight.

"Are you happy? Finally, you don't have to face me, and you can finally see me deal with others."

"No."

"That means it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if I really marry a man."

"..."

Ruan Mu lowered his face and said nothing.

It was said to be a quarrel, but Pei Chutong was always complaining alone. Ruan Mu's slender figure stood in front of the window, against the light, his side face was cold and hard, and only his eyelashes moved.

Like a lifeless piece of wood.

Pei Chutong's eyes were red, she took a deep breath, and fell powerlessly on the sofa, turning her face to the other side, letting her tears fall.

The family never forced her to do anything.

Even married.

Grandpa would not insist on her getting married, nor would she insist on marrying someone, let alone her parents.Although the family style of the Pei family is strict, there are not so many restrictions and requirements on the life of the children and offspring. She actually grew up in a very free environment.

So she didn't know why...why it was so hard.

There was a sob in the air.

Ruan Mu finally moved, turned his head, and saw the shoulders of the person on the sofa trembling, he couldn't help but frowned, his expressionless face fluctuated a bit.

She took out a piece of paper and walked slowly to the sofa, about to wipe her tears.

Pei Chutong waved that hand away angrily, and the tissue fell on the carpet.

Ruan Mu went back and drew another card.

Then she swung it down again.

three times.

"Tongtong..." Ruan Mu called her in a low voice, lowered her eyes, but she just called out, didn't say anything, as if coaxing.

Pei Chutong wiped his face with his hand, his voice was slightly hoarse: "What do you feel sorry for my grandpa?"

Ruan Mu didn't speak.

On the day of departure, the sky was clear.

At 09:30 in the morning, two Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicles parked at the entrance of the company, and everyone gathered on the first floor.Jiang Yu and Cheng Suran were the last to arrive - no one knew that they were tossing until midnight yesterday.

There were not many people traveling this time, including them, Tian Lin and Qi Yan's family of three, a total of twelve people, all colleagues who stayed in Jiangcheng and did not return.

As soon as he stepped into the hall, Jiang Yu accidentally saw Bai Lu's figure.

She wears light makeup, casual black long sleeves, simple jeans, and a baseball cap on her head. Her long, straight black hair hangs down to her waist, and she has a unique temperament.

"Sister Yu—" Bai Lu naturally also saw her, went up to meet her, and took her arm affectionately.

"Who is this?"

His eyes fell on Cheng Suran, and he took a quick look from head to toe.

Jiang Yu said casually, "My sister."

"Oh, hello, little sister." She squinted her eyes and smiled, and quickly turned her eyes back to Jiang Yu's face after speaking.

Cheng Suran didn't even have time to respond.

"..."

Qi Yan was counting the number of people, when he saw them coming, he clapped his hands and said, "Everyone is here, let's go."

Everyone greeted Jiang Yu one after another, and even looked at Cheng Suran.

Standing next to two models, she was short and thin.

A group of people walked out the door.

There were three cars parked in a row at the door. Qi Yan took his wife and daughter into the white car in front, so as to lead the way. Jiang Yu and the others took the commercial car in the middle, and the rest of the colleagues took the last car.

The car door opened, Tian Lin went up first, and sat in the back row, with the middle seat reserved for the boss and his little lover.

Jiang Yu was about to go up, but Bai Lu, who had been holding her arm all the time, did not let go, pulled back slightly, and said, "Sister Yu, let's sit in the middle, and let the younger sister go up first."

"Little sister, can you sit in the back with Assistant Tian?" She turned to look at Cheng Suran with a friendly tone.
