Because there is no car, Xu Qingyao can get out by taxi.

She couldn't stand the atmosphere at home, so she took a taxi to the bookstore she visited yesterday.

The mall doesn't open until ten o'clock, and so does the bookstore.

Xu Qingyao forgot this, so she had no choice but to buy a piece of bread at a 24-hour convenience store near the shopping mall.

In fact, she didn't have much appetite, and her body was still a little unwell due to yesterday's fever, but she still left the house without thinking too much, out of Xu Siyue's sight.

She didn't wear makeup before she came out. Although she looked more pure and moving without makeup, her face was obviously very haggard at this time.

Even though she was wearing a mask, her beautiful eyes had lost their former splendor, and the black and blue eyes were still clearly visible.

So when she was paying at the cash register with bread and mineral water, the cashier sister seemed to recognize her from her figure and eyes, but she couldn't be sure that the person in front of her was really her.

But Xu Qingyao turned and left after paying the money, never noticing the man's gaze glued to her body.

Or, in fact, she noticed that gaze, but deliberately ignored and avoided it because she didn't want to attract more attention.

The convenience store is not empty, there are more than a dozen people choosing bread, yogurt or rice bowls and coffee in front of the shelves.

There were three seats in the rest area, Xu Qingyao took one, and someone came over to take the other two, and the seats by the French windows were full.

The other two were also eating breakfast beside Xu Qingyao, and the smell of instant noodles filled Xu Qingyao's stomach.

She raised her hand, stroked her chest calmly, endured it for a while and still felt uncomfortable, then walked out of the convenience store with the half-eaten bread and mineral water.

She thought it was good, and it happened to give way to someone else.

Although it was stuffy outside, the absence of that smell would make Xu Qingyao feel better.

After she drank some water and strolled casually by the side of the road, she simply waited with others at the entrance of the mall.

When the mall opened, despite the flow of people entering it, she took the elevator to the floor where "Meeting Bookstore" was located like yesterday.

The bookstore was deserted, but this time she still took the book and walked to the lounge, closing the door directly.

The air-conditioning in the room has just turned on, and it is still a little stuffy.

Xu Qingyao took off her mask, and leaned on the back of the sofa as if she had relieved her strength.

Today, she wore a silk scarf to cover the scars on her neck that had faded a lot, but she didn't deliberately cover up the scars on her wrist, because the scars now looked much lighter than the hickey marks, so she also I didn't care much.

She took the book casually, and only after sitting on the sofa like yesterday did she realize that she was holding a collection of essays.

However, what was different from yesterday was that she still flipped through the book today.

After reading the first two articles, she suddenly frowned, and quickly scanned the third and fourth articles.

Sure enough, these two articles are the same as the first two articles, both of which are about love.

Perhaps it is more accurate to say that this book is not a collection of essays, but more like a love letter, a love letter written by the author to her lover.

Judging from some descriptions in the love letter, the author's lover is obviously a woman.

And when Xu Qingyao turned to the author's profile page, it clearly stated that the author of this book was a woman.

Xu Qingyao learned from the author's profile that this book was written by the author for his wife who had passed away due to illness.

During the three years after his wife passed away, she wrote a love letter every day and posted it on her blog on the Internet. In the first half of this year, these more than 1000 love letters were finally compiled into a collection, divided into three volumes. publishing.

And what Xu Qingyao is holding in his hand at the moment is the first volume of this collection.

She was not interested in this book at first, but after reading the introduction, she became a little interested in it.

She reversed the pages of the first article and read it again from the beginning. This time, she didn't take a hasty attitude to read it casually, but she was obviously a lot more serious.

Because her mood was different from just now, Xu Qingyao was deeply moved when she re-read it again. She could imagine from the book the author's great sadness after his wife passed away.

It's just that Xu Qingyao had never experienced her pain, so naturally she couldn't empathize with it.

And all Xu Qingyao could do was to read every love letter quietly and seriously.

"Boom boom boom——"

Just when Xu Qingyao was reading the love letter on the tenth day, there was a sudden knock on the door without warning.

who can that be?

She clearly remembered turning the small sign over when she closed the door, revealing the "Do Not Disturb" side, why would someone knock on the door?

Could it be the staff?

With doubts, Xu Qingyao clipped the bookmark that came with this book to the page she just saw, and got up to open the door.

The door opened.

Standing outside the door was a person she could never have imagined.

It was Jiang Yan, but it was Jiang Yan.

"Mr. Jiang, you..."

Logically speaking, shouldn't Mr. Jiang work in the company? Why did he show up in this bookstore for two consecutive days.

Because of this, the doubts in Xu Qingyao's heart deepened.

"Why are you here?" Xu Qingyao frowned slightly, continued to speak, and asked doubts.

"Why, can't I appear here?" Jiang Yan asked with a smile, his eyes fell first, but when he saw the blue and black under Xu Qingyao's eyes, he directly stopped Xu Qingyao's next words, "What's the matter, did you not sleep last night?" ?”

"It's okay, it's just a little insomnia." Xu Qingyao glanced at her, then immediately lowered her eyes, obviously not wanting to continue this topic, "Is Mr. Jiang looking for something for me?"

"Want to read a book together?" Jiang Yan was not worried that Xu Qingyao would reject her, but she added immediately, "The other two lounges have been occupied by others, so I had no choice but to knock on your door. "

Staying in the same lounge as her, Xu Qingyao didn't have any objections, but she still had a little doubt, "But Mr. Jiang, how do you know..."

"How do you know you're in this room?" Jiang Yan took her words.

Xu Qingyao nodded slightly, signaling Jiang Yan to continue.

"Because, when I walked into the bookstore, I happened to see you enter this lounge." What Jiang Yan said was the truth, she was indeed watching Xu Qingyao enter.

But when she saw Xu Qingyao in the bookstore, she was not surprised at all, but remained calm as before.

Just because in fact, she already knew that Xu Qingyao would appear in this bookstore.

Following Xu Qingyao into the rest room, seeing Xu Qingyao sitting back in his original seat, Jiang Yan sat down in front of another single sofa.

Xu Qingyao obviously had nothing to say to Jiang Yan, she just sat on the back of the sofa, lowered her head and sighed silently, not knowing what she thought of.

But she quickly regained her composure, and brought over the book that she hadn't read a few pages just now, ready to continue reading.

"Miss Xu, do you think it's fate for the two of us?" The atmosphere was flat, and since Xu Qingyao didn't speak, Jiang Yan spoke first.

Xu Qingyao didn't realize what Jiang Yan meant for a while, she said "um" with some doubts, and then she understood, nodded lightly, "well, that's it."

Xu Qingyao really regarded the two encounters between herself and Jiang Yan in the bookstore as a kind of fate, and it just so happened that the name of the bookstore was "Encounter".

But regarding this, she just smiled at Jiang Yan and didn't think about it.

Seeing that Xu Qingyao didn't seem to be very interested in this topic, Jiang Yan said again: "By the way, I have already dealt with the matter of the driver yesterday, you don't have to worry about it anymore, the wicked will definitely be punished. "

"Well, thank you Mr. Jiang." Xu Qingyao still nodded lightly, but there was a little gratitude in her eyes. After all, this matter had little to do with Jiang Yan, but she was willing to help a stranger.

"How's your car?"

"It's still being repaired, I'll pick it up the day after tomorrow."

"Well, you seem to be in a bad mood. It's better not to hide something in your heart alone. It will feel better to say it."

"Okay, I understand." Xu Qingyao smiled silently, and the bitterness in the smile was quickly covered up by her.

Jiang Yan realized that this conversation was like a "you ask me to answer", he was always asking the question, and Xu Qingyao was only responsible for answering the whole time, and he also answered concisely, as if he didn't want to say anything more.

Jiang Yan tried repeatedly to raise her interest, but now it seemed that it was all in vain.

She read "...well, do you have anything to ask me?"

Suddenly hearing Jiang Yan's question, Xu Qingyao looked at her more seriously, "There is indeed one."

"Do you want to ask me, why does the president of a large group show up at the bookstore on weekdays for two consecutive days, instead of going to work in the company?"

Indeed, this was a question that Xu Qingyao didn't dare to say, but was somewhat curious.

"Ms. Xu, if she sees news reports that I am a workaholic and end up in the hospital, don't doubt whether the report is true or not. It is true."

Jiang Yan's tone sounded very relaxed, more like joking.

Xu Qingyao had indeed seen this news yesterday, but she only had a glimpse of it. At first she thought it was a reporter's fabrication, but now that Jiang Yan had said so, she would no longer doubt whether it was true or not.

Jiang Yan has been watching Xu Qingyao, and seeing her nod knowingly, he continued: "My father asked me to take a half-month vacation, and during this half-month, I was forbidden to interfere with the company's affairs. In desperation, I I had no choice but to listen to him and recuperate at home for a week, but it was still too boring, so I came to the bookstore to read books yesterday."

What Jiang Yan didn't tell Xu Qingyao was that it was indeed a pure coincidence that they met yesterday, but since then, everything that happened in the future is no longer a pure coincidence.

"Then Mr. Jiang, are you... are you in good health?" Xu Qingyao, who had listened carefully to all Jiang Yan's words, suddenly became much more energetic. She looked at Jiang Yan's face and asked with concern.

In fact, Jiang Yan's complexion is definitely much better than her own, it is the complexion of ordinary people.

"I'm fine now, otherwise my family wouldn't just let me run out like this, right?" While speaking, Jiang Yan's eyes were always on the black patch under Xu Qingyao's eyes, and his heart ached.

"Well, that's good." Xu Qingyao's voice gradually softened, she lowered her head again and continued to read.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Yan stopped disturbing the other party.

The two of them stayed in the rest room like this, each reading a book, and spent nearly two hours together.

During the whole process, Xu Siyue insisted on making seven phone calls, all of which were rejected by Xu Qingyao.

Xu Shi was always rejected, no matter how much he called, it would be futile, and Xu Siyue didn't call again for a while.

Xu Qingyao suppressed the discomfort in her heart, and continued to flip through the book in her hand, but couldn't take a second look at it.

Jiang Yan noticed that Xu Qingyao sat at the round table and spread the book out on the table. About 10 minutes passed, but the book was never turned.

And Xu Qingyao's attention was obviously no longer on the book, but on the mobile phone next to the book.

She looked like she was waiting for something, but her phone never turned on again.

"Are you hungry, Miss Xu?"

It happened to be lunch time, Jiang Yan glanced at his watch, and didn't want Xu Qingyao to continue to be so distracted, so he asked immediately.

Xu Qingyao was suddenly brought back to her senses, and looked at Jiang Yan in surprise.

In Jiang Yan's eyes, her dazed little expression turned into the word "cute".

Xu Qingyao like this is more real than the glamorous and moving her on TV.

"I'm fine. If Mr. Jiang is hungry, let's go eat something." Xu Qingyao stared at Jiang Yan in a daze, and quickly recalled what Jiang Yan said just now in her mind. Fortunately, she soon realized that there was no What a waste of time.

"It's past twelve o'clock, do you want something to eat?" In fact, no matter how long it takes, Jiang Yan will wait patiently for Xu Qingyao. Since she is on vacation, she won't be short of this little bit of time.

"Well, okay, let's go." In fact, Xu Qingyao didn't have any appetite at all, but she finally walked out of the bookstore with Jiang Yan.

This is a shopping mall, the bookstore is on the top floor, and there are basically places to eat on the lower floors.

Jiang Yan seemed to be very familiar with this mall, so he took Xu Qingyao directly to the fourth floor.

The fourth and third floors are all places to eat, and there are all kinds of food.

Compared to Jiang Yan, Xu Qingyao was a little confused about this place, looking all the way to the left and right sides, looking at the names of the houses and identifying them clearly.

Her small behavior, which was completely normal, fell into Jiang Yan's eyes, but it became a cute expression again.

But it was also because she liked Xu Qingyao that she felt that Xu Qingyao's every move was cute.

Then Xu Qingyao stood there motionless, not even showing any expression, presumably she would think this was called cute.

Considering that Xu Qingyao might not be able to eat, Jiang Yan took her past other shops and stopped directly at the entrance of a noodle shop.

She looked at Xu Qingyao, "Eat this one, okay, this one is lighter, eat some."

"Okay." Knowing from Jiang Yan's words that she chose this store because it was related to her, Xu Qingyao couldn't help feeling a little moved.

She glanced into the store. Compared with other stores, this store may have a lighter taste. It is not full of customers, and there are still a few seats left.

As soon as Jiang Yan entered the gate, a waiter immediately received them warmly, took them inside, and quickly sat down in front of a double seat by the window.

This window is close to the inside of the shopping mall. If there are pedestrians walking through the corridor outside and looking in, they can clearly see the busy waiters inside and the customers chatting and eating by the window.
