Forbidden

This is the second time Jiang Yu came to school to pick up Cheng Suran.

A few months apart, many things seem to have rotted, subtle, unknowingly, seeds buried in the soil, roots sprouting.

The pale golden sunset fell on Jiang Yu's face, brightening her eyes. At that moment, Cheng Suran saw the expression that only a child who did something wrong would have, but it disappeared very quickly, so fast Doubt it was an illusion.

Cheng Suran said in a low voice, "I can drive back by myself."

If it doesn't work, there is also the driver's sister, who can't use the labor and money master to drive.she said in her heart.

Then I was stunned.

She would talk back.

"Don't you want your sister to pick you up?"

"..."

Seeing that the girl didn't speak, Jiang Yu's smile froze on his lips.

For a moment, she lowered her eyes, as if she was disappointed or helpless, she nodded slightly, said nothing, and got up to get out of the car.

"Where are you going?" Cheng Suran quickly held her down, looked around, and pushed her back.

This is the time when the most students come in and out, and there are eyes everywhere. Jiang Yu is tall enough to be eye-catching when walking on the street, but his strong and open aura attracts more attention. He will definitely be watched when he gets off the car.

Jiang Yu fell on the chair without looking up, "Take a taxi."

"Why take a taxi when you have a car?"

"Since you don't want me to pick it up, I can only go. You can drive back by yourself."

Her voice was low and helpless.

"That's not what I meant..." Cheng Suran felt guilty immediately, and held that hand as if he had bullied her, "Think about it, I think it's okay, sit down quickly, don't be seen by others."

She was acting coquettishly and coaxing others at the same time, a little bit dumbfounded, her mouth couldn't help but pursed.

Jiang Yu raised his head and stared at her.

——Then are you still angry with your sister?

The lips moved, the words came up and swallowed.

"Come up."

"it is good."

Cheng Suran cautiously looked around to make sure no one was passing by before backing away, closing the door, going around to the right, and getting into the passenger seat.

The car slowly drove out of the area near the school.

Along the way, no one spoke, and the atmosphere was eerily quiet, until he stopped at the intersection and waited for the red light, Jiang Yu turned to look at Cheng Suran, took out a silver-gray card from his bag and handed it over.

It was the credit card that was returned this morning.

Cheng Suran opened his mouth and was about to say something, but Jiang Yu blocked her words:

"Do you still remember the password of this card?"

"82..." She couldn't remember clearly.

"827930." Jiang Yu answered calmly.

"It means, on August 27th, at 09:30 in the evening, we officially met for the first time."

Cheng Suran's heart trembled, and he unconsciously squeezed the card tightly, and the sharp corners sank into his palm, almost bending it.

She turned her head slowly and looked at Jiang Yu.

The two stared at each other in silence.

At this time the green light came on.The car in front had already started, and the car behind frantically honked its horn.

Jiang Yu silently looked away and continued to concentrate on driving.

Cheng Suran turned her face out of the window, still holding the card tightly, the sharp touch seemed to be stuck in her heart, and she couldn't move it away, and couldn't ignore it.

What does such a meaning mean?

Sister takes her seriously?Care about her?Do you have a place for her in your heart?Only these reasons could explain it, but she couldn't be happy.

That slap not only hit her on the face, but also pierced her heart. She thought that she would be fine after a night of sleep, and that her sister could just coax herself as before, but this time she couldn't sleep, and she didn't even coax her. .

From last night to now, her heart seems to have a big hole, empty, occasionally the wind blows in, it hurts numbly, occasionally it rises and falls like a sea tide, and when it recedes, it leaves a ground full of sand and gravel, a dead silence .

what's wrong with her?

I didn't sleep last night, and I went to class all day today, so I must be tired.

Thinking, she closed her eyes.

……

The car did not drive in the direction of the hotel, but came to the square in the center of the city.

The sky is getting darker, the street lights are turned on one after another, people are coming and going on the side of the road, and there is a lot of noise.Cheng Suran opened his eyes and saw the scene outside the window, and was taken aback for a moment.

"Sister? We are..."

"shopping."

Without squinting, Jiang Yu drove the car into the basement of a shopping mall not far away, found a place to park, took out his hat and mask from his bag and put them on, "Let's go, go in and have a stroll."

Cheng Suran thought he was going shopping with her, so he nodded obediently.

The card in his hand was suddenly drawn away.

"??"

She had an "unknown" premonition.

After getting out of the car, Jiang Yu naturally took Cheng Suran's hand and interlocked her fingers. Before Cheng Suran could be surprised, that hand released again and changed to a normal position to hold her.

"..."

The ground is the most prosperous section of the entire River City, adjacent to the Binjiang River, brightly lit, and across the river from the high-rise buildings on the other side, with various high-end restaurants and luxury stores lined up together, full of luxury and luxury.

After coming to Jiangcheng for more than two years, Cheng Suran has never entered any nearby store, the lights are too bright, it will burn her heart that lacks confidence.

The moment she entered the door, she unconsciously shrank behind Jiang Yu, and when she saw the shopping guide coming up to her, her whole body tensed up.

"Don't be afraid." Jiang Yu whispered.

Cheng Suran's cheeks were slightly hot after being told that he had lost his mind, and he had to force himself to raise his eyes and behave more generously.

The shopping guide greeted with a smile, fixed her eyes on Jiang Yu, as if she wanted to make a hole in her face, "You are... Jiang..."

puff.

Cheng Suran quickly turned his face away, pursed his lips and snickered.

Hahaha--

"Just take a look." Jiang Yu nodded lightly, smiled, and led Cheng Suran to walk around from the left.

While shopping, explain the elements of clothing to her, and roughly talk about how to match them.

The shopping guide only followed behind, keeping a close distance, able to detect the needs in time without embarrassing.

Originally, Cheng Suran didn't like to go to physical stores. No matter whether things were expensive or cheap, someone would always follow her, which made her feel uncomfortable, but today she felt fine. I don't know if it was because Jiang Yu kept talking to distract her, or because she was walking in front of her. Because of the sense of security around this person...

Gradually also relaxed.

But when she was walking around, she felt something was wrong. Whenever Jiang Yu stopped, he took a second look at a certain piece of clothing, and then his eyes flicked to her, with a look of scrutiny, wondering what he was thinking about.

It seems that she is not buying clothes for herself, but choosing clothes for her.

"This skirt suits you very well." Jiang Yu stopped again, picked up an avocado green suspender skirt, gestured in front of Cheng Suran, and nodded with satisfaction.

Cheng Suran shook his head repeatedly, and said in a low voice, "I have this style of skirt, don't waste it."

"I know, I saw you wear it, but that one doesn't suit you."

"..."

"This kind of skirt is called a slipdress, and it looks the best when it is made with bias cutting technology, but this process is firstly a waste of fabric, and secondly requires a lot of calculations, and the cost is not low, so all cheap slipdresses are counterfeit and worn on the body Bumps and bumps can't fit the body curve naturally, not only can't achieve the elegant and elegant effect, but it will damage your overall temperament."

"Of course we have such a good figure, we shouldn't be dragged down by crudely made things." Jiang Yu squinted and smiled with a gentle tone.

Cheng Suran was taken aback by her few words, and when she came back to her senses, Jiang Yu had already gone to swipe her card to pay. She raised her hand to touch her face lightly, and bit her lip in embarrassment.

For the store of the second brand, Jiang Yu chose two coats for Cheng Suran, and a pair of pants and a pair of shoes for the third brand. Gradually, the two of them each carried three or four paper bags.

The "unknown" premonition in Cheng Suran's heart finally came true——

The card that swipes everything.

Is this a disguised form of forcing her to spend money?Make her a "real" canary.

She couldn't help smiling wryly.

Put the things back in the car, and the two went to eat hand in hand.Sitting on a high-rise building along the riverside, Cheng Suran watched the flickering lights of the high-rise building, and watched Jiang Yu's advertisement played on the huge display screen, and his inner feelings became more and more complicated...

She could feel her sister's apology and understood that this might be her sister's way of apologizing to her.

But I always feel like something is missing.

what?

Isn't she a canary?Isn't this the way the gold master coaxes the canaries?At this moment, she suddenly understood that it wasn't that she lacked something, but that she never had it.

If it's a girlfriend, I'll say "I'm sorry" myself.

If it's a girlfriend, there's no such slap.

She was still brooding.

After eating, the two walked along the riverside path for a while, and Jiang Yu was recognized again, this time as a fan, and she was happy to take a photo with him.

She is very kind to fans, and she is also very kind to strangers. That kind of kindness is eye-level.

Cheng Suran understood in a daze.

In fact, I am not even as good as a stranger...

The hole in her heart got bigger, and the night wind from the river was icy, and it slowly poured in, freezing her whole body to the bone. She had never felt so cold before, as if the whole world was shrouded in darkness and cold. I can't see the sun of tomorrow.

"Why are your hands so cold?" Jiang Yu held her, frowning.

Cheng Suran collected his thoughts, squeezed out a bitter smile, blinked his eyes and said: "Well, it's a bit cold, let's go back."

Back in the basement and got into the car, Jiang Yu didn't leave immediately, first turned on the heater and let it blow on for a while, then grabbed Su Ran's cold hands and covered them gently.

Her palms are warm.

"However, today is very brave."

"?"

The lights in the car were not turned on, the light was dim, and the cold light from outside came in. The girl's skin was as white as snow, as if covered with a thin layer of glaze, shiny and smooth.

Jiang Yu looked at her gently with deep eyes.

"When my sister was your age, she would be nervous and afraid when she entered the mall, because she had no confidence and couldn't afford anything. She was afraid of being laughed at, and she didn't even dare to take a look in the store window when she passed by."

"The first time the photographer took a picture of me, he said that I was as stiff as a piece of wood. I felt that there were countless pairs of eyes staring at me and laughing at me. At first, I was very concerned. Later, I thought, I have nothing, and What is there to care about? Afterwards, after shooting many times, I gained experience and gradually found the feeling and direction, and I never showed timidity again.”

"Many things are like this. Fear of the unknown is a human instinct. To turn the unknown into the known, you have to try many times, and the first attempt can never be perfect."

"There is a word called 'trial and error cost'. When you see those generous peers, they seem to be confident in everything they do, and they are very natural. You will be envious, right? In fact, they are not born with everything. It’s that their trial and error costs are low. When they try to do something, even if they do something wrong, they can afford the risks and consequences, and they won’t attract abuse and blame. Naturally. And we—”

She paused suddenly and took the girl's hand firmly.

"We are no worse than them."

"If you want to see a bigger world, you have to go out. For example, the store my sister took you to visit today is also a small world, a small world that you have never touched. You don't have to own the things in it. But you can see, you can know, there are these things. When you have seen all kinds of people and things, you will not be easily fooled by others. You are still young, and you can try anything. Then figure out what you want and what you don’t.”

Jiang Yu curled up his mouth, stretched out his hand to brush away the broken hair from the girl's sideburns, and tucked it behind her ears.

I don't know why, the more I look at the child, the more familiar I feel, as if I see my previous self through her, and it's like another luckier self in a parallel space.

She knew that Ranran was ambitious.

"Sister..." Cheng Suran looked at her in a daze, "Do you like brave people?"

"Who doesn't like brave people?" Jiang Yu raised his eyebrows and smiled lightly.

The light in Cheng Suran's eyes dimmed.

She is not brave enough.

I don't even have the courage to say that I like her, so I can only stay by my sister's side as a canary who is overlooked...

A small face was stained with sorrow, and the eyes were gray and sleepy.

Jiang Yu suddenly felt sad when he saw it, took a deep breath, hugged her, moved his lips for a long while, and then said a few words softly: "I'm sorry."

Cheng Suran froze suddenly.

"Don't be angry with your sister, okay?"

"I do not have……"

"good."

A comforting kiss landed on her left cheek.

……

After Christmas, the reality show that Jiang Yu participated in filming started. The first episode was lively and the ratings were extremely high. It became the third most searched on Weibo overnight, and the response was unexpectedly good.

The group of Jiang Yu and Pei Chutong had the most discussion, the gap between the second group and them fell like a cliff, and the other two groups were basically the same.

With the broadcast of the second issue, the reason finally surfaced.Everyone generally thinks that Jiang Yu and Pei Chutong look more real. No matter what they do, the two can cooperate very well, and the details of daily interaction are also very natural, while the performance traces of the other groups are slightly heavy, and they also have obvious idol baggage. , not as comfortable as they give people.

The deeper reasons are only clear to the parties themselves——

They are good friends who have been appointed by default and have really known each other for several years. Others have at least normal work contacts, and they are temporarily formed into a team only after participating in the program, which lacks a sense of reality.

Reality TV is all about authenticity.

After going back and forth, the small circle began to drink CP.

Some people build super chats, some search for beautiful pictures, and some write CP articles.

Cheng Suran also saw it.

Just after New Year's Day, two weeks before the final exam, it was the time of intensive review, but she happened to accidentally brushed the CP picture on Weibo, followed the clues to enter Chaohua, and never came out again.

Those CP texts are long and short, lingering, and the CP pictures are beautiful and suitable, the best couple in the world.

Distraught, she couldn't help looking.Knowing that it was forced by fans, I was still sad.

So I didn't bother to study.

This evening after class, Cheng Suran hurried to the cafeteria to have dinner, then rushed to the library, luckily there were still a few vacancies.She sat down, took out her book and computer, and when she saw the phone, she couldn't help but open Weibo again.

CP Chaohua is ranked first on the frequently visited list. The profile picture shows Jiang Yu and Pei Chutong embracing each other, intimate and natural.

She clicked in, and the first one was the latest reply - the most popular one.

Looking at the "latest post" again, there are screenshots of various programs.

[Yu Yuzi really dotes on our pupil Tongzi. ]

[Cook this kswlkswl!Yu Yuzi is such a good example! (dog head.jpg)]

[Thousand-year-old evildoer x rich and noble flower in the world, lock me up! ]

Within 2 minutes of swiping, Cheng Suran's hand holding the mouse became tighter and tighter, her little face flushed, and finally she couldn't take it anymore and quit, and clicked into Jiang Yu's Weibo, looking for some comfort.

My sister updated Weibo today, which is a set of blockbuster Jiugongge.

She was wearing a black suit, standing in the rain, her hair was half wet, like the texture of a movie film, gentle and quiet.

Cheng Suran's eyes brightened slightly, thinking that such a person was sleeping next to him, he felt a little comfort.She saved all the photos in her exclusive album and clicked into the comment area.

The first hot comment is a fan confession.

[Ah, sister, I love you so much, I unilaterally declare that you are my wife=3=]

Jiang Yu replied below: I love you too (love.jpg)

Cheng Suran stared at this reply, the light in her eyes went out instantly, as if she heard a "boom" in her heart, at that moment, she suddenly felt that she was ridiculous.

It turned out to be so easy and simple to get the words "I love you" from Jiang Yu's mouth.It seems that everyone is qualified to look Jiang Yu at the same level, but she is not.

Even if my sister sleeps next to her every night, even if my sister hugs her every night, calls her nickname and kisses her...

She is not even as good as a stranger.

One hour, two hours... time passed slowly.I didn't read a page of the book, the computer was not turned on, and the battery of the mobile phone was almost dead.

How to enter the library, how she left.

Cheng Suran was carrying the big black bag that Jiang Yu gave her, and was floating around the campus like a walking corpse. Remembering to get a book, he turned around and headed towards the dormitory.

The lights were on in the dormitory, the air conditioner was blowing out dry and warm air, and Li Meiling was taking a shower in the toilet.

Cheng Suran mechanically walked to his desk, took a book from the shelf, glanced at the embroidered little white rabbit beside him, and picked it up in a daze.

It has been here for three months and has never been wiped and cleaned. A lot of dust has accumulated on the little white rabbit.

She blew lightly, patted, looked carefully at the still dirty rabbit, put it in her pocket, picked up the book, turned and left.

The mobile phone that was about to run out of power received a message from Jiang Yu:

[are you back?Do you want me to pick you up? ]

Cheng Suran replied dully: [Ready to leave. ]

Add a spoonful of cocoa: [Drive slowly, don't rush. ]

Looking at the concerned text, Cheng Suran's eyes filled with water vapor, he quickly withdrew, and uninstalled Weibo all at once...

……

Back at the hotel, Jiang Yu was taking a shower.

The sound of dripping water came from the bathroom...

Cheng Suran stood at the door, staring in that direction for a while, then turned around, walked slowly into the second bedroom, and turned on the light.

She put down her bag, took out the mobile phone and the little rabbit from her pocket, threw them on the bed, took off her coat, threw herself on the bed, and lay flat.

After lying down for a while, there were footsteps coming this way.

Cheng Suran opened his eyes.

"Of course?" Jiang Yu stepped into the room wearing a nightgown, and was stunned when he saw the girl lying on her back, "Did you just come back?"

"Ah."

Cheng Suran nodded obediently, sat up, feeling a faint impulse in his heart.

"How's the review going?" Jiang Yu sat down, put his arms around her waist, and pulled her into his arms.

Cheng Suran was startled, a little guilty, "It's okay."

"This month is Gao Dingyue. My sister has a few high-end shows going, so I'm on a business trip next week. You should study hard at home. After you finish the exam, my sister will be back." Jiang Yu pampered the girl's hair, Kissed her lips again and again.

Cheng Suran closed his eyes, pressed his cheek against Jiang Yu's neck, felt the scalding heat, and responded muffledly: "Okay..."

After she finished the final exam, there were only eleven days left before the second contract expired.

No one mentioned it.

But always face reality.

Jiang Yu remained silent, gently stroking her face with his palm, moved his position, and got closer, but seemed to accidentally sit on something.

Small, slightly hard.

She frowned slightly, turned her head, picked it up and looked at it.

A yellowed embroidered bunny.

"This is……"

"Well?"

Cheng Suran raised his head in doubt, but saw Jiang Yu's eyes widened in surprise, his thin lips trembling, "Where did you come from?"
