"I misunderstood you today, I'm sorry. I hope we can reduce our private communication in the future."

"Farewell."

Cheng Suran resolutely turned around and left.

The elevator doors opened and closed, and there was nothing outside.

Fragments of the model were scattered on the ground, individual parts rolled far away, the swing fell apart, the decorations fell off, and the limbs of the little people were broken, and they were beyond recognition.

Jiang Yu looked at the mess on the ground, and his mind was buzzing.

[On the left is your career, which is what everyone sees, and on the right is your life, which is what I see. ]

[Sister, do you still like it? ]

[like very much. ]

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

The heart then shattered to the ground.

Jiang Yu squatted down slowly, stretched out his hand, picked up the scattered pieces on the ground one by one, and put them into a transparent box.As she picked it up, her hands trembled more and more, and her shoulders trembled.

Tears welled up in his eyes, gradually blurring his vision.

Broken.

All broken.

She gritted her teeth and gasped, and suddenly laughed, "It's okay, it's okay... I ate a lot of food today... I really won't be able to eat it in the future..." Choking and crying, she picked it up and talked to herself.

The debris at hand was almost picked up, and the ones farther away were out of reach, so she knelt down and crawled over to pick them up, picking up the fine dross as well.

Tian Lin stood behind and looked at her, her eyes turned red unconsciously.

After picking it up, Jiang Yu stood up tremblingly with the box in his arms, closed the door and turned around, just bumping into Tian Lin's sight, she froze for a moment, with a bitter smile on her lips.

Seeing her tearful face, Tian Lin's heart ached, her brows were furrowed, "Sister Yu..."

"It's too late today, stay here with me." Jiang Yu said hoarsely.

Tian Lin nodded.

Jiang Yu smiled, said nothing more, and walked towards the master bedroom with the box in his arms.

Step by step is like stepping on cotton.

Back in the room, she carefully put the box on the table and began to rummage through the box. After a while, she took out a piece of glue from the cabinet, as if grabbing a life-saving straw.

She sat down at the table, picked up the larger pieces, put together the outlines as she remembered them, and then applied glue to the breaks, carefully and clumsily joining them together.

It's ok.

It doesn't matter if it's broken.

She can pick it up from the trash can and put it back together.

Even if it doesn't look like it's spelled.

……

In the dead of night, the moon is in the sky.

Coming out of the community, Cheng Suran sat in the car in a daze, with wet tears hanging from the corners of her eyes on her eyelashes, she quietly looked at the shadow of the street lamp, her heart was turbulent.

It was a gift that she spent a lot of time and energy making, it was a gift that carried her full sincerity and love, and it was a gift that should have been thrown into the trash can.

Jiang Yu picked it up in front of her, and she destroyed it in front of Jiang Yu.

But why...

Don't feel relaxed at all?

The phone suddenly vibrated.

Cheng Suran lowered his head, saw that the note was Ruoxian, and realized that he had been out for a while, so he quickly connected, "Ruoxian..."

"Of course, where have you been? Why is it taking so long?" The voice on the phone was a little anxious.

Cheng Suran said truthfully: "I'm here with Jiang Yu, I'll bring her something." Then he comforted her repeatedly, "I'm already in the car, go back right away."

"...Okay." His tone calmed down.

After hanging up the phone, Cheng Suran raised his head and glanced at the tall mansion inside the gate.

As long as you rarely see Jiang Yu, it will be fine.

As long as you don't communicate with Jiang Yu in private...

……

This year the Mid-Autumn Festival falls within the National Day holiday.

In October, the temperature in Jiangcheng has dropped, and only then has the coolness of early autumn.Before the holiday, Cheng Suran organized a company dinner, distributed benefits to all employees, and sent Wen Ruoxian to the airport on the last afternoon.

She was left alone at home.

Sleeping late on the first day, cleaning on the second day, reading books and watching dramas, and the third day is the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Cheng Suran received a call from her aunt.

Just like the past few years, my aunt warmly called her nickname and asked her to go home for a reunion, but she refused without thinking.But this time is different. My aunt said that my cousin got married and the wedding will be held the day after tomorrow.

"Of course, your sister used to have a bad temper, and the things she did are in the past. You don't have to argue with her. Forget it, she is also going to start a family now. You are also a younger sister, and the wedding is just..." The woman On the phone, he babbled and said a lot in roundabout ways.

Standing on the balcony, Cheng Suran stared at the distant view, a little impatient to hear, and lightly interrupted: "I won't go to the wedding, I will send her a red envelope."

"Uh, the red envelope..."

"Up to ten thousand."

The aunt paused for two seconds, then said hesitantly, "Okay, then you can go back..."

Before she could finish speaking, Cheng Suran hung up the phone.

In the distance are bustling streets.

Back then when I went to France for an exchange, my aunt was reluctant when she learned about it, but she didn't expect her to be willing. Fortunately, she had enough money at that time, so she didn't need to ask for help, and she could leave whenever she wanted.

After graduating, my aunt asked her what job she was looking for, whether intentionally or not, she asked her to go back to her hometown to take a teacher exam, saying that she could find a good man in the future, but she didn't answer her, and she never contacted her family except to ask for a user account.

She could vaguely feel that her aunt found out that she could restrain her.

Fortunately, she ran fast, and settled in the capital directly after being admitted to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. My aunt had no chips in her hands, so she could only open her mouth and shout her conscience. She showed her father's compensation, and my aunt had nothing to say. Her demeanor grew softer.

She never went back all these years.

When a person lives outside for a long time, he can solve everything by himself, and it seems that he no longer needs others around him.

She often thinks that it's good to be single forever in this life...

The street was crowded with people, and Cheng Suran had no plans to go out. Near noon, she cooked a hearty lunch for herself, took photos and sent them to Wen Ruoxian.

In the afternoon, watch a movie on the home projector.

The advantage of learning a foreign language is that watching the original film does not require subtitles, and you can focus on the picture and plot like watching a native language movie.

The leisurely day passed by like this, and at night, Cheng Suran was too lazy to cook, cooked a corn and ate it, then went for a walk downstairs in the community, casually, and suddenly felt a little bored.

Colleagues and friends on WeChat are all buzzing.

She felt increasingly alone.

All kinds of advertisements were pushed, which made people dazzled. On the local life account, it was written that there would be a quiz and light-off activity in Yuhu Park at [-]:[-] tonight.

Without thinking for too long, Cheng Suran went upstairs to change his clothes and drove there.

……

There were a lot of people going out to play at night, and the road was a bit congested. Cheng Suran arrived at the park at exactly eight o'clock, and the parking lot outside was almost full. She walked around two or three times before finding a parking space.

There are two rabbit lanterns hanging high outside the gate of the park, a giant moon cake is placed in the center of the entrance square, and melodious classical music echoes in the air. harmony.

Cross the main road, and behind it is the Lantern Riddles Corridor.

Jade Rabbit lanterns were hung on both sides of the promenade, emitting a hazy and soft light, bright from a distance, Cheng Suran slowed down, and looked at them one by one like a horse on a horse.

She suddenly remembered the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival many years ago...

[Confidence in yourself? ]

[Not so much. ]

[Sister believes in you. ]

The woman's gentle smiling face broke into her mind, and the shadows of the two holding hands were on the ground.

One scene after another flashed before my eyes...

Before I knew it, I had finished walking the corridor of lantern riddles. In front of me was Yuhu Lake. People gathered on the shore, and there were dots of soft light floating on the lake, reflecting in the dark water.

Cheng Suran put away his thoughts, walked slowly to the shore, and squatted down.

Large and small lanterns float on the water, with written words, paintings, and wishes on them. They float sparsely, and they don’t know where they are going.

Under the dim night, the soft light brightened Cheng Suran's eyes.

She took out her phone and took a picture, and sent it to Wen Ruoxian: [Does it look good? ]

Wen Ruoxian replied in seconds: [Where is this? ]

Cheng Suran: [Yuhu Park, let off lanterns. ]

Wen Ruoxian: [Looks good, let's make a wish. ]

[I went back to Jiangcheng ahead of schedule, and I'm at the airport now, I'll find you in the park later. ]

what?

That's good, someone is with me.

Cheng Suran pursed her lips and smiled, Xiaoli's dimples were slightly curved, and she was about to get up to buy a lantern when a big rabbit lantern wobbled towards her and hit the shore lightly.

Hey?

She looked around, and she didn't know who put the lamp. The shape of the rabbit looked chic and delicate among the many lotus flowers. She reached out her hand curiously and picked it up.

The candle was burning faintly, the light was dim, but it clearly reflected the stick figure inserted on it.

It's two rabbits.

The big rabbit is leading the little rabbit, sitting back to back in the grass, with long ears drooping, and a fluffy little tail, vivid and cute.

At the bottom are two capital letters: Y and R

Who could have painted it?

So cute.

She was about to put it back into the water, when she suddenly noticed that there were words on the back, and took a closer look:

Justeunephotodetoi.

"!"

Cheng Suran opened his eyes wide.

this word...

She turned back to the stick figure on the front, staring at the two letters.

Y...Yu?Yu?

R...Ran?of course?

Cheng Suran suddenly raised his head, stood up holding the lantern, and looked around.

The tourists around were chatting and laughing, walking leisurely, it was too dark, and the street lights on the shore were limited, so it was impossible to fully see everyone's face.Look around and find the tallest one.

After searching around, the tall people were all men, and they didn't see the expected shadow.

Could it be Jiang Yu...

she is there?

Cheng Suran was in a state of confusion, and suddenly realized that he had overreacted, and was a little annoyed.

So what.

None of her business.

Cheng Suran put the lantern back into the water and continued walking aimlessly.

The lake reflected the shadow of the gazebo lights, and the trees on the shore were covered with light ropes. Tonight, there was a light rope prayer event. Many people bought light ropes and made wishes around the trees. She also joined in the fun and bought one.

There were many people under each tree. She walked all the way, and when she saw a lot of people, she lost interest. After walking, she finally found a tree with few people.

The tree stood by the lake, and there was only one person under the tree.

Cheng Suran quickened his pace.

As he got closer, the profile of the man seemed familiar.Tall and thin, with long hair and shawl, wearing a silver-gray long-sleeved shirt, simple and casual jeans, and a pair of long and straight legs.

Jiang Yu?

Cheng Suran stopped, inexplicably flustered, and turned around to leave.

But at this moment the man turned around.

Eyes meet.

"Of course...?" Jiang Yu looked at her in surprise.

Cheng Suran's heart beat violently, and he pretended to be shocked, "Mr. Jiang, what a coincidence."

The two looked at each other in silence.

A gust of cool wind blows over, carrying the moisture of the lake and the faint smell of green grass.

Jiang Yu pursed his lips and smiled, his eyes fell on her hand, "Do you... want to tie the light rope? There are many short trees in front of you, and this tree is tall. I can help you."

"No need," Cheng Suran looked a little uncomfortable, looked down at the light rope, then glanced at the tree, "I'll find a lower branch myself."

"Oh... good." Jiang Yu smiled lightly, his eyes darkened.

Cheng Suran looked away, walked under the tree, looked up to find a suitable branch.

This tree grows close to the water bank, and its slightly lower branches extend long above the lake in an irregular semi-arc shape. As long as you grab it and press it down a little, you can tie a light rope.

Cheng Suran stepped on the weeds on the bank carefully, grabbed the trunk with one hand, stood on tiptoe, and reached for the long branch with the other.

Touching the rough bark with her fingertips, she stood on tiptoe again, successfully grabbed the branch, and was about to pull it down.

"Be careful..." Jiang Yu looked at her worriedly. Before he finished speaking, he saw that her hand holding the tree trunk slipped, as if she was about to lose her center of gravity. She didn't have time to think about it, and pulled her hard. Bundle.

At that moment, his feet collapsed, and his center of gravity was unstable and he fell into the water.

--thump!

The surface of the lake splashed a large amount of water.

Cheng Suran's arm hurt from being pulled, he took a few steps back, and almost fell to the ground, only to see Jiang Yu falling down unexpectedly, he was shocked, "Jiang Yu!!"

She rushed over to pull people.

Jiang Yu got up from the water by himself, "Ahem...no...it's okay...there are steps below..."

"??"

Below the surface of the water along the coast are artificial concrete steps, not deep, just below Jiang Yu's thighs, when she fell, her buttocks hit the concrete steps, the splashed water splashed all over her head and body, and she was completely soaked , like a drowned rat.

Cheng Suran was still in shock, and quickly stepped forward to support her, "Did you choke on the water?"

"Cough...a little...cough cough...it's okay..."

"There's a pavilion over there, I'll help you go there."

Jiang Yu clutched his chest and coughed, his butt hurt. Cheng Suran helped her to the gazebo, sat down, hurriedly took out a tissue from the bag, "here, wipe it quickly."

"Thank you." Jiang Yu took the tissue, wiped his face, and panted.

Very embarrassed.

Cheng Suran frowned at her, and was about to say something when the phone rang suddenly.

It was Wen Ruoxian's call.

"Hello? Ruoxian."

Jiang Yu was shocked.

"Are there soon? Oh, I'm in the park, by the lake... Well, okay, I'll pick you up now." Cheng Suran looked in the direction of the park gate, answered a few times, and hung up the phone.

She turned to look at Jiang Yu.

Jiang Yu also looked up at her.

"I..." Cheng Suran's lips moved, "I'm going to pick up someone now, if you're okay, go back and change as soon as possible, don't catch a cold." After a pause, he suddenly remembered something, and there seemed to be guilt in his eyes, " Thanks."

After that, she turned and left.

Jiang Yu looked at her retreating back, his body soaked in cold water shivered, like falling into an ice cellar.
