Forbidden

The setting sun was like blood, dyeing the entire sky red.

Cheng Suran rushed out of the gate of the community holding the model.

The car was parked on the side of the road not far away, she stumbled over, fumbled on the doorknob with her hand, unlocked it, and couldn't wait to get in the car before lifting one foot, tripped and fell directly on the seat superior.

Her wrist hit the steering wheel heavily, and she frowned in pain.

"hiss……"

The broken model in the box rattled, Cheng Suran ignored the pain, closed the car door, hurriedly took off the transparent box, and checked the model.

Fortunately, no secondary damage.

She slumped down.

Carefully stroking the surface with her fingertips, it felt smooth and cool to the touch. Time seemed to go back to that late night. She held the model and sat alone in the empty room waiting.

[Because it was given to me by you. ]

[You are not here these years, it is my only thought. ]

Jiang Yu's words echoed in her ears repeatedly, like hundreds of flies flying, and like invisible hands tearing at her.

Tears filled the eyes and fell down.

Jiang Yu...

What's the meaning?Why keep the gift from her?Still think of it as a thought?Are you trying to trick her again?Do you think she is the most obedient and obedient in the end and is the most suitable to be a canary?If it was really intended at that time, why did you have to drive her away so decisively?

why why……

Cheng Suran gasped, raised his head and sobbed.

She still cares so much.

She still loves her.

The sun was completely down.

After adjusting his mood, Cheng Suran drove home. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Wen Ruoxian sitting at the dining table eating alone, and the two met their eyes.

"Ran Ran?"

Wen Ruoxian looked at her in astonishment, "Did you finish eating so soon?"

"I've got something to do at the moment, so it's rescheduled." Cheng Suran shook his head, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, changed his slippers, turned and walked towards the bedroom.

Wen Ruoxian frowned, put down his chopsticks and chased after him, "Of course..."

Cheng Suran stopped in doubt.

"Are you in a bad mood? What happened?" Wen Ruoxian stared at her, but saw her holding the transparent box in her arms tightly with both hands, and her eyes moved down.

Miniatures, illuminated in bright colors, with a small garden, a long "stage", and a small man with a broken arm, and a plaque with two capital letters "JY" in the background.

"what is this?"

"I just received the courier," Cheng Suran subconsciously evaded, and lied, "It's nothing, you can go to eat quickly, I'll take care of the things."

After finishing speaking, he hurried into the bedroom and closed the door behind him.

She slid down with her back against the door, looking down at the model in her arms.

In a small garden, the swing is broken, a small person has lost an arm, and the decorations on the background board are scattered and unsightly.

At that time, she was stupid because of the black material on Weibo, which made Jiang Yu angry, and ignored her for many days.She watched everyone in the fan group discussing birthday gifts enthusiastically, and felt that she was stupid, poor and without dignity, and Jiang Yu would not like any gift she gave.

But she still wanted to.

I want to apologize to Jiang Yu, I want to make Jiang Yu happy, and I want to carefully prepare the most unique gift for the person I like.

She racked her brains and finally decided to do clay crafts.She used the money from her part-time job to buy materials, search for tutorials online, draw design drawings and write design ideas by herself.

Then she threw it into the trash can, and was picked up by Jiang Yu himself...

This is not only a handmade gift, but also a testimony of her sincerity during that youthful time. Perhaps in the future, she will never meet someone who can make her heart move like this again.

If you break it, you break it.

Cheng Suran thought.

But as long as she thought of Jiang Yu keeping it by her side all these years, she felt a little unclear in her heart.

[You are not here these years, it is my only thought. ]

Jiang Yu's face flashed in her mind. There was tenderness in those cold eyes. After many years, although she couldn't tell the truth from the fake, it awakened the beautiful memory deep in her heart.

On the night of the official meeting, she was afraid, but Jiang Yu didn't force it, but gave her a long time to get used to it.When she was caught in gossip, Jiang Yu took the trouble to help her settle it, and even the assistants around her comforted her.On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Jiang Yu accompanied her to guess lantern riddles and watch the moon, thinking about the prize she wanted.When she was injured, Jiang Yu ran back and forth, taking care of her meticulously.When he learned of her life experience, Jiang Yu encouraged her and told her to go forward...

very many.

In the darkest days of her life, it was Jiang Yu who brought her a little light.

It was Jiang Yu who made her taste the warmth, throbbing and beauty of the world for the first time.

A person with far richer knowledge and experience than her is willing to bend down to communicate with her, guide her, and encourage her, which is not a kind of tenderness.

She was adopted voluntarily, and she violated the terms of the agreement.She never hated Jiang Yu, never complained about Jiang Yu, she only thought that Jiang Yu didn't like herself, and treated her with all kindness, she was even grateful.

But today...

Jiang Yu's eyes, Jiang Yu's expression, Jiang Yu's words.Everything is a knife in her heart.

Maybe Jiang Yu just misses that period of nurturing, but she just can't let go of her former canary. She is afraid of being seen to have a slight mood swing, afraid that her soft heart will be manipulated, and even more afraid of Jiang Yu knowing that she is still in love.

She couldn't fall into it so easily.

Tears fell silently.

Cheng Suran wiped his face, got up, put the model aside, and took out a bank card from the bedside table.

There are 300 million in it, which is all the liquid funds she currently has. She has been saving money slowly over the years, hoping that if she meets Jiang Yu again one day, she can return all the money that the other party spent on her in the past.

Only in this way can she completely cut off those memories.

It's almost gone now.

The five-month nurturing agreement is 50 yuan, the intermittent pocket money during the period is 30 yuan, car gas, hotel meals, accommodation, gifts and other miscellaneous things add up to about 20 yuan, and the last check is 200 million yuan.

There are so many things, just enough.

After the money was returned, she became a "pauper" with a zero account, but she was able to get rid of the past and start from scratch.

Thinking about it makes me feel very relaxed.

Cheng Suran stuffed the card into his bag, and the phone vibrated suddenly, and when he took it out, it was a text message.

Jiang Yu: [Of course, I'm sorry. ]

"..."

Cheng Suran sighed.

Now I have calmed down, knowing that things have to be faced and resolved, and it is useless to escape.

Thinking about it, she replied: [When you are free, let's talk. ]

Jiang Yu replied in seconds: [All day on weekends is fine. ]

Cheng Suran clicked on WeChat, found the weekly work schedule sent by the assistant, and then continued to reply: [See you on the terrace of WINK Cafe at [-] p.m. on Sunday. ]

Jiang Yu: [OK. ]

—— tuk tuk tuk

"Of course, let's go out to eat." Wen Ruoxian knocked on the door outside.

Cheng Suran put away her phone, "Here we come." She unlocked the door, opened the door, met Wen Ruoxian's worried gaze, and smiled, "What delicious food did Sister Xian make?"

"And I don't have a long memory." Wen Ruoxian reached out and touched her forehead, "Don't call me sister."

"Oh~"

"You sit down first, and I'll serve you the meal." Wen Ruoxian took her to the dining table, pulled her out of the chair, and turned to go to the kitchen.After a while, he came out with a small bowl of rice and put it in front of her.

Then he handed her the chopsticks with both hands.

Cheng Suran was shocked by this action, and blinked amusedly: "Are you treating me as the queen mother?"

"It's the queen." Wen Ruoxian corrected softly.

"Is there a difference?"

"The Queen Mother relies on others, and the Queen relies on herself."

"We Mr. Wen are really getting better at talking." Cheng Suran narrowed his eyes and smiled, bowing his head to eat.

Wen Ruoxian also smiled, but she was a little absent-minded, her deep eyes were dim and difficult to understand.She looked at Cheng Suran eating, and suddenly asked: "Of course, did Mr. Jiang send over his watch today?"

Cheng Suran paused with his chopsticks, and hummed softly: "Delivered."

"Then you said you're having dinner with a client, isn't that Mr. Jiang?"

"Um……"

"I think Mr. Jiang is a bit strange." Wen Ruoxian watched her face, and just as he finished speaking, Cheng Suran squeezed his chopsticks and raised his head.

She continued: "Why did she ask you to deliver it to your home? Not the company, or let the driver or assistant pick it up? Is it to have dinner with you? But the meal was temporarily rescheduled... Well, it's very strange."

"..."

Cheng Suran was at a loss for words.

It's not that I don't know how to answer, but that I don't know how to choose.Should he confess to Ruoxian that she and Jiang Yu once knew each other, or continue to hide it?

"Ran Ran……"

Wen Ruoxian was about to say something, when he inadvertently saw the bruise on the back of Cheng Suran's elbow, and frowned, "Why is your arm bruised?"

Cheng Suran came back to his senses, glanced at his elbow, and said with a perfunctory smile: "Oh, I accidentally bumped it, it's okay."

"I'll apply some medicine for you after dinner." Wen Ruoxian sighed.

"it is good."

Cheng Suran nodded and ate in a muffled voice.

After sitting for a long time, seeing that she had almost eaten, Wen Ruoxian got up to get the medicine box, sat on the sofa, and took out the medicines that needed to be used.

She glanced at Cheng Suran again.

Since Ranran came back from the three-day meeting last month, something was wrong with him. He was fine at work, but he was often restless at home and always shut himself in the room.In the past, if the two of them were at home at night, they would definitely go for a walk or watch a movie after dinner, but recently, no matter what she mentioned, Ran Ran was unwilling to go out.

She asked once, but she said that the work was too tiring, and she just wanted to stay at home and rest when she was free.

It's also weird today...

Could it be related to Jiang Yu?

The last ray of light in the sky was swallowed by the twilight.

The night begins.

Jiang Yu sat on the window sill, staring out of the window, the lights on both sides of the riverside were brightly lit, and the cruise ship was slowly shuttled on the river surface, the dots of light came into her eyes.

There seemed to be residual heat on the lips.

After a while, she raised her hand to wipe her face, but when her fingertips touched the warm skin, she realized that her tears had dried up.

She lowered her head and unlocked her phone.

The text staying in the edit box has never been sent out.

[Can you return the model to me?Don't fix it, I've already lost you and I don't want to lose it again. ]

This text message has been edited repeatedly. It has been almost half an hour. Jiang Yu has been hesitating whether to send it or not to send it. Looking at the above two replies, he only feels dazzling.

talk?

She read a hint of farewell from this simple sentence, even though she was so happy when she received the text message.

Maybe it's about not being entangled anymore, maybe it's about maintaining a partnership relationship from now on, maybe it's about breaking up with her, no matter what, it's not the scene she wants.

It was dark, the lights in the room were not turned on, and the phone screen gave off a faint cold light, illuminating her pale face.

Strong regret welled up in my heart.

Too impulsive.

Jiang Yu touched his face, as if he could still feel the warmth of Ranran's palm.No pain, no pain at all, like being bitten by a mosquito.

She pressed her fingertips on the "delete" symbol on the keyboard.

The text has been deleted cleanly.

"Boss Jiang—"

The nanny stood outside the cloakroom and called her, "Dinner is ready."

She raised her head in response, stepped down from the window sill, stepped on the carpet with her bare feet, and floated out like a ghost.

There is a sumptuous five dishes and one soup on the table.

No onions, no coriander, no chili...these are all Ranran's favorite dishes, and they are dishes that match Ranran's taste. They are fragrant and delicious.

Now she has no appetite.

"Boss Jiang, I did everything according to your orders, what do you think?" The aunt looked at her with a smile.

Jiang Yu was expressionless, and said lightly: "You and Xiao Zhou eat, if you can't finish eating, throw it away."
