"His..."

"Does it hurt?"

"Well."

"I'll take it easy."

Cheng Suran leaned on the sofa, raised his arm slightly, and the large bruise on the back of the elbow was exposed to the light, and it was swollen terribly.Wen Ruoxian frowned, carefully applied the medicine on her and sighed:

"Hey, where have you knocked, knocked like this..."

Cheng Suran smiled awkwardly, "I was too anxious when I got into the car, and accidentally bumped into the steering wheel."

She had just finished taking a shower, her skin was soft and moist, fair and smooth, but this made her look even more bruised and terrifying.

Wen Ruoxian sighed again, squeezed out some more ointment with a little force, dipped some ointment on the index finger of his right hand, applied it on the bruise, and gently and carefully massaged it away.

She arched her waist, her head was slightly tilted, and the broken hair on the sideburns fell down, framing a soft and beautiful face.

Cheng Suran stretched out his hand subconsciously, and tucked the strand of hair behind her ear.

Wen Ruoxian's movements froze, his heart trembled, and he continued to apply the medicine pretending to be calm.

Slightly itchy patch of skin behind ear.

Seeing her focused and distressed look, Cheng Suran suddenly couldn't bear to hide from her, hesitated for a while, "Ruoxian..."

"Huh?" Wen Ruoxian raised his eyes, and his fingertips trembled.

"Actually, I knew Jiang Yu before." Cheng Suran looked at her calmly.

"At that time, I met her when I was working as a part-time junior in my junior year. Later... she helped me a few times, and I never had any contact with her until the summer vacation of my junior year."

"For the three-day interpreting project last month, the French team couldn't find anyone, so I went there in person. I didn't expect her to be the client. Afterwards, the cooperation was very satisfactory, and she said she wanted to sign an annual contract with us, so... that's it."

She has reservations.

Ruoxian is her only sincere friend, she doesn't want to hide it completely, the rest, she can tell her slowly in the future.

Wen Ruoxian thought she was going to say something else, her expectations rose and then fell, and she was a little disappointed.

other, what...

The strand of hair tucked behind her ear made her feel itchy.

"Is it such a coincidence? It means that you are very destined." She smiled faintly.

Cheng Suran pursed her lips, lowered her eyes, revealed a wry smile and quickly covered it up, "Do you think... I was taken care of by her, and I was in her favor to facilitate this cooperation..."

"Of course." Wen Ruoxian interrupted softly.

"With your professional strength, you don't need the care and charity of your customers. On the contrary, it is often the customers who come to you, so don't doubt yourself. Why, what about my self-confidence?"

She has a gentle face, a calm tone, and her words are inexplicably reassuring.

Cheng Suran smiled, as if there was warmth flowing through his heart, and he felt a steady stream of confidence and strength.

Yeah, don't doubt yourself.

The selfish person is Jiang Yu.

After applying the medicine, the two chatted about the company for a while. Cheng Suran had a business trip tomorrow morning, and returned to the room with the meeting materials before nine o'clock.It's not too hot tonight, she didn't turn on the air conditioner, and opened the doors and windows for ventilation.

Watching and watching, the upper and lower eyelids are fighting...

……

At eleven o'clock at night, the lights in the north study were still on.

The encyclopedia page is displayed on the large computer screen, which is Jiang Yu's personal information. The text and pictures are very long, and the content is very official.I searched the whole Internet, but there was no valuable information except work-related and early national model wars.

Wen Ruoxian sat at the desk, staring at the screen thoughtfully.

Supermodels, fashion circles...

About 12 years ago, when she was still a high school student, she already knew Jiang Yu's name through the Internet.At that time, there was no special feeling. Like most celebrities, they lived in parallel spaces with each other.

But when she saw this person up close and personal in reality, and had contact and interaction, she suddenly had a strange feeling.

Jiang Yu has an "androgynous" temperament...

It can be soft, it can be tough, it can be charming in skirts, and it can be heroic in suits.In her own words..."Ji Li Ji Qi".

This is probably her sexual intuition.

But after all, it's just a guess, and her intuition may not be accurate.

People in the fashion circle are more or less "double".

Wen Ruoxian sighed, turned off the computer, opened the drawer in front of the desk, took out a large sketchbook from it, and turned to the latest page.

The woman had a smile on her face, her two small pear dimples were soft and sweet, and her gentle and calm appearance appeared vividly on the paper.

The whole book is natural.

Wen Ruoxian smiled absently, took out a pencil, and continued to add the remaining details.

After three or five minutes, the finishing touches were completed. She kissed the drawing paper through the air, took out her mobile phone and took a photo, then closed the notebook and carefully put it back in the drawer.

Ten past eleven.

Wen Ruoxian yawned, got up, turned off the lights and walked out of the study.

Dim small wall lamps were lit in the corridor. She went to the toilet and was about to go back to her room to sleep, but she heard a burst of raving from the opposite room.

Ok?

The bedroom door was not closed, Wen Ruoxian followed the sound and entered.

In the darkness, I could only see the silhouette of a human figure arched on the bed, the electric fan was blowing leisurely, the cool night wind passed through the screen window to blow the curtain, and a ray of moonlight fell on the window sill.

"elder sister……"

"You still like...well..."

Cheng Suran was sleeping soundly, murmuring, repeating the word "sister" over and over again.

Wen Ruoxian stood quietly by the bed, feeling a little complicated.

Calling my sister again.

When they first met, they traveled around Europe together and lived in a double room in a hotel. At night, they could always hear Cheng Suran talking in his sleep, muttering "sister".At first she didn't pay attention, but as long as the two of them slept in the same room, they could hear these sleepy conversations, and she gradually became curious.

However, she knows something about the family.

My mother is gone, my father is dead, and living in my aunt's house is not welcome. As an adult, I carry my life alone, working part-time and studying at the same time.This is all she knows.

She guessed that Ranran also had a biological sister.

Maybe she was gone a long time ago, or something happened to separate her. My sister must be very kind to Ranran, so she will remember it in her dreams.

At first Cheng Suran called her "Sister Xian", and she called her "Sister Xian" for more than a year. At that time, she already knew that Cheng Suran talked in her sleep at night, and she also had guesses about her real sister.

When she found out that she fell in love with Ranran, the word "sister" became extremely awkward.

She doesn't want to be treated like a sister.

There is a sister in the front, and Bai Yueguang in the back, and the gap of sexual orientation lies in the middle. They are destined to be friends only.Fortunately, she has achieved the ultimate in the role of "friend", which holds an important weight in Ranran's heart.

That's enough.

Wen Ruoxian pursed her lips and smiled, bent down, turned down the electric fan, picked up the dropped blanket, and gently covered her stomach and knee joints.

The fragrance of the quiet shower gel hits the nostrils.

The woman's red lips were close at hand, in the dim light outside the window, hazy, like a tempting fruit, which caused Wen Ruoxian's heart to throb, and he couldn't help it.

Suddenly, her brain became hot, and she bent down as if she had been swallowed...

Only a few centimeters away from those lips, a burst of warm breath fell on her face, she suddenly woke up, straightened up, and took two steps back.

No.

Wen Ruoxian's heart was beating wildly, guilt and guilt welled up, she hurriedly turned and left...

……

Sunday was cloudy.

WINK Café is located along the riverside, not far from Greensham Mansion.Before departure, Jiang Yu spent two hours picking and choosing in the cloakroom. He chose a long red buckle dress, took care of his hair, and carefully put on makeup.

Although she had a premonition in her heart that this trip might be a farewell, she still had the mentality of a date and wanted to show Cheng Suran her beautiful side.

At fifty one, she arrived at the coffee shop.

But she didn't expect Cheng Suran to come earlier than her.

On the balcony on the second floor, more than a dozen tables were spread out, and Cheng Suran sat alone in the corner by the glass fence, with his face sideways, gazing into the distance.

She was wearing an apricot-colored shirt dress, with long hair hanging softly behind her shoulders, and a shallow V-neck revealing half of her goose-white neckline. The gray light fell on her body, like a peaceful and beautiful oil painting.

Jiang Yu stared at her, his eyes a little out of focus, and walked over with a slightly chaotic heartbeat.

Cheng Suran turned his face away as if feeling something.

"Here we come." She raised her lips and smiled slightly, beckoning to the waiter not far away.

"what do you want to drink?"

Jiang Yu put down his bag, sat across from her, and said in a slightly heavy tone, "Same as you."

"Is it OK?"

"Ah."

Cheng Suran ordered two glasses of iced Americano and two desserts. After the waiter left, she took out the prepared bank card from her bag and pushed it in front of Jiang Yu.

"what?"

"300 million, return it to you."

"..."

"The nurturing agreement is 50 yuan, pocket money is 30 yuan, car fuel, meals, accommodation and other odds and ends are 20 yuan, and the check is 200 million yuan. All the money you gave me will be returned to you."

Jiang Yu didn't speak, his eyes fell on the bank card.

"I used that money to start a business. It was a big investment and cost in the early stage. If I didn't have that money, maybe I wouldn't have the courage to make choices and decisions, and I wouldn't be able to go on smoothly and smoothly, so it helped me a lot. Busy." Cheng Suran's tone was very calm.

Jiang Yu raised his eyes and smiled, and said, "I thought you would use it to study abroad."

"I really thought about it, but I don't think it's worthwhile."

"Oh?"

"If I spend my own money to study abroad after graduation, what is great is that my resume is a little good. When I come out to work, I have to start from a rookie and slowly accumulate experience. However, the translation industry does not need a high degree to get started. Education is not the decisive factor. Higher education does not have an absolute advantage, on the contrary, many people in the industry directly enter the industry after graduating from a bachelor’s degree, and they have two years more practical work experience than me, so what is the significance of studying abroad at my own expense?”

"But I really want to study abroad and see the outside world, so..." Cheng Suran paused.

"So I thought about it and decided to try the Ministry of Foreign Affairs first. It doesn't want people who study abroad at their own expense, but as long as they can pass the test, they can be sent to study abroad. It happens that our school is one of the three major schools selected by the Department of Translation and Translation of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Don't want to waste an opportunity."

Later she passed the exam.

Not only did the government send her to study abroad to get the education she wanted, but also solved the household registration problem. Her household registration was finally moved out of her aunt's house and landed in the capital.Working in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is very tough. All the colleagues in the translation department are elites. Her professional level has been continuously improved. She has also seen many big scenes and accumulated rich experience, which is equivalent to gold plating.

After resigning, her starting point was higher than most of her peers, and she became a gold-lettered signboard.

She is glad she chose the right path.

Jiang Yu listened quietly, his heart skipped a beat, and the beating became more and more joyful, the joy was like gorgeous fireworks blooming in the night sky.

But that's the kind of girl she likes, and that's the kind of person she likes.

Refusing to admit defeat, not bowing to fate, having a clear plan for her own life, knowing what she wants, and keeping walking towards that goal, just like what she said back then: Keep walking, don't look back.

"Actually... there is another reason why I chose this way. I don't want to continue to rely on your strength. I want to try it on my own. If I can't do it myself, I will resign to my fate and use the money. Because I always feel that it is I am too useless, too weak, too powerless, not worthy of you, who would like such a person? Neither will you."

Cheng Suran spoke calmly, as if the past had turned into smoke long ago and had been blown away by the wind.

"But don't..." Jiang Yu frowned, his heart was hurt by the sentence "I'm not good enough for you", and it was hard to breathe.

Cheng Suran interrupted with a smile: "Sister."

"!!"

Jiang Yu looked up in shock.

"Thank you." Cheng Suran looked at her seriously and said.

"Although I didn't use that money at first, it gave me confidence. Without it, I would be afraid to do anything. Whenever I stand at a crossroads and make a choice, I have too many worries and anxiety. , I will always think, anyway, there are 200 million in the card, give me the bottom line, I can afford to lose, and I will not starve to death, then I will not be afraid, and I will have the courage to move on. I also know that not everyone We are as lucky as I am to meet you..."

"This 'sister', I called you on behalf of the former Cheng Suran, thank you for appearing beside me at that time." She took a deep breath, raised a relieved smile, and her eyes were slightly red.

The breeze ruffled the broken hair.

Not far away came the melodious sound of the ship's flute.

Jiang Yu sighed, and said in a low voice: "Of course, our life trajectory in the first 20 years is the same... I don't know why, but I just feel that you have a certain energy in you, which is very like me, attracting me, I can't explain it ...I thought, what a girl, I like her, I want her to fly away..."

The voice stopped abruptly, she raised her head, closed her eyes, and turned to look at the scenery outside the glass fence.

Cheng Suran's nose was sore, and his fingers tightly gripped the sofa seat.

She remembered that Jiang Yu mentioned family that day...

She has always been curious about everything about Jiang Yu, but she never thought that Jiang Yu would really tell herself, without any foreshadowing, just told her casually, simply, and straightforwardly.

Are they really the same?

Is it true that Jiang Yu likes it?

At this time, the waiter came over with coffee and dessert.

"You two, please use it slowly."

"Thank you."

Cheng Suran picked up the coffee and took a sip, the bitter and slightly sour taste instantly spread on the tip of her tongue and slipped into her throat, she gently put down the cup, looked at Jiang Yu and said: "I always thought that your family is harmonious and very happy... "

"That's what I thought of you before." Jiang Yu turned his face away when he heard the sound, and the water in his dark eyes disappeared.

The two smiled at each other.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Cheng Suran smiled nicely, the little pear dimple was sweeter than the desserts on the table.

"It's all old stuff, I don't care, but you can't sympathize with me. I just want...to be honest with the person I like." Jiang Yu looked at her with burning eyes.

Cheng Suran was stunned, "I won't sympathize." Then he took a sip of coffee and changed the subject, "In two years, when the company raises money again and the scale is bigger, I can move my account to Jiangcheng, and stay in the capital all the time. It's useless, after all, I don't live there now, so many things are inconvenient."

"Are you going to settle down in Jiangcheng?" Jiang Yu covered the topic just now and continued with her.

Cheng Suran nodded, "Well, I always feel that this is my home for the rest of my life."

Jiang Yu looked moved, smiled, picked up the cup and said, "Come on, I respect you, I escaped successfully."

Cheng Suran smiled and raised his glass to touch her.

The cold bitter taste went straight to the bottom of my heart.

Putting down the cup, Cheng Suran looked at the bank card and pushed it forward again, "The password of this card is 827930, you must accept the money."

"What if I don't accept it?" Jiang Yu raised his eyebrows.

Cheng Suran was not annoyed at all, just looked at her, and said without hesitation: "I was taken care of by you before, it is a fact, I will not deny it, I will not escape, I don't hate you, I don't blame you, and you didn't do anything. What was wrong, but that relationship was limited to the past. Returning the money to you means cutting off the past. From now on, I am not a canary, and you are not a benefactor..."

"I no longer regard you as a canary, nor myself as a benefactor." Jiang Yu interrupted softly.

Cheng Suran raised her hand, motioning for her to listen to herself first, "I hope that in the future, you and I will only be business partners, and we will maintain this normal relationship."

As soon as these words fell, the air fell into silence.

"Ran Ran……"

Jiang Yu stared at her deeply, with a gleam in his eyes, "Let's get to know each other again."
