Forbidden

There was a gust of cold wind by the lake, the drenched clothes clinging to the skin, the chill penetrated deep into the bone marrow, Jiang Yu unconsciously hugged his arms tightly and shivered.

A huge full moon hangs high in the night sky.

The moonlight is reflected on the surface of the lake, the lights are flickering in the distance, and there are many tourists.

Jiang Yu silently looked at the moon in the water.

Today's Mid-Autumn Festival, everyone in the company is on holiday, those who go home go home, those who travel, even the nannies and aunts go back to their hometowns.During the day she spent a day in the empty house, finishing the rest of the model.

The glue can only stick the model into a rough shape, and it can only make her see that it is a model, crooked, ugly and barely visible.

But that's all she has.

Going out to relax at night, she put a rabbit lantern by the side of Yuhu Lake and tied a wishing rope on the tree. She remembered the Mid-Autumn Festival night spent with Cheng Suran many years ago. They guessed lantern riddles together and watched the moon together...

The moment she saw Cheng Suran, she thought she was hallucinating because of missing her too much, and then realized that Ran was also alone.

They might still spend the holidays together.

This joy didn't last long, Wen Ruoxian shattered her fantasy, and left her without hesitation and decisively.

She is like an abandoned dog.

When I was young, no one wanted her, my father asked her to go to my mother, my mother asked her to go to my father, grandparents didn't want her, grandma thought she was cumbersome, a group of adults threw her around like a toy.

Later, she didn't trust anyone anymore, and she had no one to rely on except herself. In her world, only herself was the most important.

So, gain yourself, lose yourself.

After all, she is fit to live alone.

My heart throbbed uncontrollably, as if a piece was missing, the cold wind poured in, my body was cold, my heart was also cold, and the chill was piercing.

Jiang Yu shivered, opened the bag, the inside was soaked with water, the phone and documents were also wet, she took out the phone, wiped it with the remaining paper towel given by Cheng Suran, and unlocked it, luckily it was not broken.

Most of the WeChat messages are ellipses, and many people wish her a happy holiday and send her red envelopes.

Tian Lin babbled about a dozen things like an old lady, from afternoon to evening, she was nothing more than asking her to go out for a walk.Pei Chutong sent seven big red envelopes in a row, two small videos, and missed voice calls.Bai Lu excitedly sent her a voice message saying that fashion week is over, and she will return to China after finishing the two days of filming.

She replied one by one, accepted the red envelope, and then sent back, finally feeling a little bit of warmth in her body surrounded by cold.

Unknowingly getting colder and colder, his hands turned purple under the light, Jiang Yu put away his phone after replying to the message, glanced in the direction where Cheng Suran was going, got up and left.

……

The timing was just right, as soon as Wen Ruoxian got off the taxi, Cheng Suran saw her and trotted over, "Ruoxian..."

"Why did you come back early? Isn't today the Mid-Autumn Festival? Does your family have any objections?"

Wen Ruoxian's face was gentle, his smile was still faint, and he said, "I had dinner at home at noon, and I stayed at home for two or three days. I'm a little tired, but I still want to come back." His eyes were a little unnatural under the dark light.

"Are you going to come back to accompany me?" Cheng Suran didn't realize it at all, made a joke, and took her arm.

"Will I say that you will be burdened?"

"will not."

"That's it."

"Hahaha……"

Wen Ruoxian looked at her and smiled, the two small pear dimples seemed to be filled with glistening water, her mood suddenly became clear, and she also breathed a sigh of relief, "Of course, do you still want to put up lanterns? Let's put another one up?"

"I think," Cheng Suran was stunned, "I haven't let it go yet, the one I showed you is someone else's lantern."

Before I had time to set off the lanterns, I went to find Jiang Yu.

Jiang Yu...

In front of her eyes flashed the woman sitting there in a state of embarrassment, soaked all over, and her heart twitched suddenly, becoming more and more uneasy.

Jiang Yu fell into the water to save her, it seems not good for her to leave him there...

but--

"That's right, let's put one each." Wen Ruoxian walked with her on his arm.

Cheng Suran came back to his senses and hurriedly followed the pace.

……

The shore of the lake was bustling, and there were more people. A large number of lanterns were densely floating on the water, and the fire was bright. Cheng Suran thought of the rabbit lantern, and he didn't know where it had gone.

She also bought a rabbit lantern herself.

"Ruoxian, what wish did you write down?"

"It doesn't work to say it."

"Oh." Cheng Suran pretended to be upset, and lowered his head to fiddle with his own lamp.

"Okay, okay," Wen Ruoxian softly coaxed her, and handed the note over, "I'll show you."

——I hope that Ranran will always be happy and happy, safe and smooth.

Very simple wish.

Her handwriting is elegant and powerful, and her pen is sharp.

Cheng Suran was startled, and said amusedly, "Why don't you make a wish for yourself?"

"This is my wish." Wen Ruoxian looked at her deeply, his eyes scorched by the flames.

Cheng Suran narrowed her eyes: "Then I'll make a wish for you too, just one..." She tilted her head and thought for a while, then smiled slyly, "I wish Ms. Wen Ruoxian get out of singles as soon as possible! Hahahaha."

Wen Ruoxian was stunned.

"I don't know what kind of person is worthy of our Ruoxian..." Cheng Suran pasted the note on the phone, writing down his wishes quickly, talking to himself while writing.

Wen Ruoxian lowered her eyes and didn't answer.

The two lanterns wobbled and drifted along the direction of the current.

After setting off the lights, Cheng Suran took Wen Ruoxian to watch the lantern riddles, bought another light rope, and followed the original path to find the tree.There were more people in the park now, and from a distance, she saw three or four people surrounded by the tree just now, and several long light ropes were already hanging from the branches.

A mother with a stroller sits in the gazebo.

Jiang Yu's shadow had long since disappeared.

Cheng Suran stood by the side of the stone road, looking around, surrounded by strange faces.

"Of course, I've hung it up, look." Wen Ruoxian patted her on the shoulder.

Cheng Suran turned her head when she heard the sound, and the two long light cords were close together, entangled in circles, fluttering in the wind, she nodded absent-mindedly.

Jiang Yu should go home...

With an assistant and a nanny, it should be fine.

She doesn't need to worry about it either.

--boom!

There was a loud bang, and the sky brightened up.

Cheng Suran was startled, and raised her head, only to see gorgeous fireworks blooming above her head, she immediately forgot her thoughts, "Ruoxian, there is a fireworks show!" She shook the arms of the people around her.

"En." Wen Ruoxian replied with a faint smile.

Cheng Suran frowned slightly, and pulled her to a corner with few people nearby, "Ruoxian, are you in a bad mood? You feel a little bored tonight."

"Is there?" Wen Ruoxian raised his eyebrows and smiled.

"We've known each other for so long, can't we see it?"

"..."

"It's fine if it's inconvenient." Cheng Suran said in a low voice.

The smile on Wen Ruoxian's lips faded, and a look of sadness suddenly appeared in his eyes, and he sighed: "It's not an inconvenience, it's because I had a little friction with my family, so I came back early. They... urged me to find someone."

Cheng Suran frowned, remembering his joke just now, and felt regretful, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have joked with you just now..."

"Huh?" Wen Ruoxian raised his eyebrows, "I don't mind, voluntarily leaving the order and being forced to leave the order are two different things."

She lied.

It wasn't her family who urged her to find a partner, but she came out to her family.

Wen Ruoxian's family runs a business, so she can be regarded as a little rich. She is an only child. She has no worries about food and clothing since she was a child, and she is free and easy. of.

Her parents never asked her to abide by the rules, and never urged her to get married and have children. She has always been open-minded, but she never thought that her "open-minded" parents would find it difficult to accept her sexual orientation.

She quarreled with her parents, and returned to Jiangcheng in a hurry.

Show your cards at home early to avoid coming out for a certain person in the future, which will put the other party on a psychological burden and bear double pressure.In this way, she is responsible for her own choice, and no one will complain.

The so-called "someone" is now standing in front of her eyes.

She can't say anything.

"Do you have to get married?" Cheng Suran pouted.

"That's not true," Wen Ruoxian shook her head with a smile, "It's just that it will be annoying if you talk too much. Actually..." She stopped and looked at Cheng Suran.

"Ok?"

"I have someone I like."

"Who is it?" Cheng Suran's face was filled with excitement of inquiring gossip.

Wen Ruoxian stared at her, her throat slipped, and the hands hidden by her sides were pinched tightly. Suddenly, she smiled and looked away, "She's not here. And...she doesn't like me."

"Ah, that's a pity..." Cheng Suran frowned.

Wen Ruoxian was silent.

so close.

Before you can be sure of the other person's mind, rushing to express your own thoughts will only break the original harmony between the two people.She and Ranran are not only friends, but also partners in the company. If Ranran has no idea about her, she will cause trouble to the other party if she does so. At that time, the moving matter will be small, but it will be a big trouble if it affects the company.

She can't be impulsive.

There were several loud bangs not far away.

A series of flames rose into the night sky, exploding fireworks of various shapes, and the night was dyed as bright as day.

People around let out bursts of exclamation.

"Of course..." Wen Ruoxian turned around, but still couldn't help asking her, "Do you have someone you like?"

"I?"

Jiang Yu's face flashed in front of Cheng Suran's eyes, his heart skipped a beat, and he smiled covertly, "I... no, making money is the most important thing now."

The light in Wen Ruoxian's eyes was completely extinguished.

……

On the second day after returning home, Jiang Yu caught a cold.

Woke up in the morning feeling weak, light-headed and sore throat, she took out her temperature and measured it. It was 37 degrees, low-grade fever.

She is the only one in the house.

Fortunately, there were sufficient supplies of ingredients and medicines. She simply ate lunch, made herself an ice pack to press her forehead, lay back on the bed to rest, and slept until the evening when she woke up and went to the bathroom.

The fever subsided, but his head was still a little heavy. Jiang Yu staggered into the toilet, accidentally stepped on something slippery, lost his center of gravity in an instant, and fell to the ground.

--Snapped!

The glass by the sink fell and shattered.

A shard of glass shattered her arm.

"what……"

There was a sharp stabbing pain in the arm, and the knee was knocked hard. Jiang Yu frowned in pain, and struggled to get up from the ground. The blood from the wound dripped down the white arm, scarlet and dazzling.

hiss.

She tore off some toilet paper, wiped off the blood, and covered the wound to get the medicine box.

Clean up, apply medicine, bandage.

Skilled and natural.

After treating the wound, Jiang Yu went back to clean up the mess, went to the bathroom, and continued to go back to the room to sleep, as if nothing had happened.

The last few days of the holiday have been a rough one.

On the day of resuming work, Jiang Yu still had a cold, so he went to both companies for a meeting.

There will be a conference in the capital next Wednesday, one of which is the Paris parent company that is about to sign a transportation agreement with her. Five executives including her will go there for two days and one night. In addition to the consecutive interpreters, each person needs to bring a accompanying interpreter.

With the cooperation with Yisheng, the docking process is much simpler, and the personnel are quickly finalized.

Jiang Yu called Cheng Suran.

It took a long time to answer the phone.

"Hey?"

"Of course, it's me." Jiang Yu's voice was very soft.

Cheng Suran was stunned for a moment, and his tone was calm: "I know. What's the matter?"

"Next Wednesday and Thursday, do you have work arrangements?"

"What do you say first."

"..."

Jiang Yu lowered his eyes, rubbed his red nose with his fingertips, and for a moment didn't know how to organize his words, "I have a negotiation meeting here, in the capital... I have already booked four people in your company, and I have one left. I want to ask if you are free, because you said last time...your work is calculated according to your personal itinerary, and you don't go to the company, so..."

"Wait a minute, let me check the arrangement."

"it is good."

There was silence for a while.

Jiang Yu held his breath, his nose was slowly blocked again, and his heart was beating harder and harder.

"I'm free." Cheng Suran's voice didn't fluctuate at all.

"Negotiation meeting, consecutive interpretation, right? I'm quoting [-] a day, plus travel expenses. Are you OK?"

Jiang Yu hastily added: "There are also escorts."

"[-] for English, [-] for French, not superimposed with consecutive interpretation." Like an emotionless quotation machine.

"no problem."

"Okay, you can send the information to my email."

"it is good."

Totally businesslike attitude.

After talking, it's time to hang up the phone. Jiang Yu was a little bit reluctant, and was about to wait for her to hang up first, when Cheng Suran's voice suddenly came from next to his ear: "Are you caught a cold?"

"... A bit, it's almost ready." Jiang Yu was caught off guard by the question.

Why are you asking this all of a sudden?

Is the sound exposed?

She was inexplicably nervous, waiting for the next sentence.

Unexpectedly, Cheng Suran just said "Oh" and simply hung up the phone.

Jiang Yu: "..."

The phone vibrated.

A WeChat message with the remark "Bailu" popped up.

Bai Lu: [Sister Yu, I'm back. ]

Then I sent a photo of the airport.

[I'll go to Miss Mina's house first, and I'll see you again in two days, let's have dinner together~]

Jiang Yu stared at the text, and replied: [OK. ]

Just as she was about to put away her phone, Bai Lu sent two more pictures. Jiang Yu clicked in and took a look, his face changed slightly.

It's a screenshot of a passer-by's Weibo.

In the photo, she was standing by the baggage carousel at the airport, and Cheng Suran beside her showed half of her face.

Bai Lu: [Did you find your little sister again? ]
