very partial

When I went out, I was alone, but when I came back, there were two people, holding a bunch of eye-catching flowers in my arms. Anyone who saw it would feel that they would force their mouthfuls of dog food.

Especially Song Yun, when she saw Jiang Wanqiu and Ji Xia appearing in the same frame at the door, she was inexplicably sour.

Song Jun glanced at Yi Yi who was sitting next to him indiscriminately, and saw that the other party's attention was all on Ji Xia and the others, with a smile on his face, and he didn't notice her little emotions at all.

So her small emotions successfully inflated a little and turned into big emotions.

Originally, she also came here with Yi Yi, but the other party insisted on leaving separately.

In this way, two people who clearly have a close relationship become irrelevant in the eyes of other friends.

After the two sat down, a waiter outside the door came in holding a tablet and began to order for them.

Tonight is to clean up Ji Xia, so the most important thing is to look at her.

Among them, "cherry meat", "yellow braised shark's fin", and "hundred birds facing the phoenix" are the signature dishes of this restaurant. It is said that the chef in charge is a descendant of the royal chef in the Qing Dynasty with first-class craftsmanship.

These, Ji Xia had heard Jiang Wanqiu say many times when she was still studying abroad, she ordered all these dishes without hesitation.

After the dishes were served, Ji Xia once again refreshed his concept of the word "exquisite", not to mention the portion and taste, at least on the surface, every dish is very suitable for the title of "royal".

But tonight, apart from eating, this game is obviously more about the communication between friends who have been away for several years.

For all the sisters present, Ji Xia, the youngest person, of course only needs to be "cared about".

"Ji Xia, do you have any special plans after graduation?"

"Are you going to stay in the local area or go out and try?"

During the dinner, Yi Yi asked a question inadvertently.

Although her current relationship with Jiang Wanqiu is only at the level of good friends, she still can't help but think about each other in some things.

For example, after waiting for more than a year, does Jiang Wanqiu need to continue to wait?

Every field has a place that can be called the "sacred temple" of this field, and the same is true for the translation industry. For every translator, the country's Ministry of Foreign Affairs is undoubtedly the highest temple in this professional field.

Everyone here knows that Ji Xia has a high talent for languages, but if he wants to work towards a place like the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, he will definitely not stay in this city to develop.

Let’s not say whether this goal can be achieved, but the future must be erratic.

Things like business trips, going abroad will just become routine.

After this question was asked, the expression on Jiang Wanqiu's face changed slightly.

She didn't interrupt, but was waiting for Ji Xia's answer.

Unexpectedly, the girl seems to have completely failed to understand the deep meaning behind this sentence——

"I don't have any special plans. I've already signed a contract with the company." Ji Xia replied relaxedly, "I have nothing else to do when I come back this time except to complete the school defense and go through the graduation scene."

"Before I came back, I had agreed with my family to stay and work locally."

The foreign trade company that Lin Zhongyuan works for also has a branch stationed in the country where Ji Xia studied abroad. During the past year or so, Ji Xia has helped the branch members share the text translation work as an intern.

In terms of ability, it has long been recognized by the domestic headquarters.

You only need to wait until after graduation and you can directly join the job and become a foreign trade company, which is the hired translator.

Apart from the fact that Lin Zhongyuan is her stepfather, most of the reasons are because of her own ability.

Moreover, this kind of foreign trade company, the amount of each transaction is not small, and it is a Sino-foreign joint venture. The company's benefits and salary will not be low. It is already a very good choice for Ji Xia, who has just graduated from a bachelor's degree. up.

"And..." The girl opened her lips, and suddenly turned her head to look at the person beside her.

Perhaps feeling that the other party was looking at her, Jiang Wanqiu also slightly turned half of her face to the side.

"Huh?" She hummed a questioning sound from her nasal cavity, but her eyes were bent.

"And we agreed two mornings that we will officially live together after I return to China."

Speaking of this, Ji Xia himself was the first to laugh.

I can't restrain myself from being happy just by saying the beautiful vision. It's hard to imagine what it will be like when it is actually realized in the near future.

Everyone didn't expect that just a simple question could be easily extended to the "sweet future" by Ji Xia. At the moment, they just feel that the food is boring, and they are tired of the sweet "sugar" sent by the two.

"I'll scoop up a bowl of shark's fin for you." Jiang Wanqiu didn't continue the topic.

She originally wanted to divert the topic from the private affairs of the two of them, and then talk about something more relaxed, but she didn't expect that this move would fall into the eyes of Song Yun on the opposite side, causing the other party to think differently.

After eating the sweet and greasy "sugar" just now, Song Yun has not been relieved yet.

Now that Jiang Wanqiu stood up to help Ji Xia take the initiative to scoop up the shark's fin, she felt even more uncomfortable.

Look at the one sitting next to me, who is eating shrimp with his head down.

Miss Song was not happy, so she kicked lightly under the table to the side, and then pushed her other empty soup bowl forward, and sent it to the other party: "You are so close , and you help me scoop up a bowl of shark fin."

Everyone at the table was taken aback.

Yi Yi was also taken aback.

But soon, she came to her senses and realized what Song Yun meant.

This young lady didn't know which muscle was wrong and started to attack again.

The implication is so obvious, if I don't help to meet the requirements, it is still unknown whether things will get out of control in a while, under the balance, Yiyi picked up the other party's empty bowl under the gaze of others, stood up and scooped up a bowl for others shark fin.

In this way, Song Yun's anger was smoothed out, she half-emptied her eyes, and tried her best to control the upward curve of her mouth from being so obvious.

It's just that when returning the bowl to the other party, Yi Yi didn't forget to add "Next time by yourself".

The tone was awkward, and it sounded unwilling.

But such a harmless remark can basically be ignored for Song Yun.

After dinner, basically it is divided into several roads, each has its own night life.

Needless to say, Jiang Wanqiu and Ji Xia, the two reunited after a long absence, it is estimated that there will be no other programs tonight, and they will drive home in a while to talk tenderly.

When we left at the door of the store, Zhou Zhou just received a call from another friend, saying that he was in a bar in the city at this time, and asked her if she wanted to come over.

For such a thing as clubbing, Zhou Zhou naturally had to ask Song Yun.

After all, the two of them get along very well in terms of "love to play".

"Song Yun, Yaya has opened a stage at the Monkey Bar, are you going?"

When Zhou Zhou asked, he never thought that he would be rejected, but life always has infinite possibilities.

such as--

"No." Song Yun refused the invitation of his good friend simply and neatly.

She noticed it clearly, and when Zhou Zhou asked herself, Yi casually glanced at herself.

Every time I go to a place like a bar, I don't know which ex I will meet. Song Yun really doesn't want to go, lest something will happen when Yi Yi knows it and can't close the scene.

Although the relationship between the two is still only at the "cannon-friend" stage.

Almost at the same time she rejected Zhou Zhou, Yi Yi had already walked towards the parking lot.

Because he was anxious to catch up, his attitude towards Zhou Zhou became more perfunctory: "I have something to do tonight, so I won't go, you can go by yourself."

"By the way, you don't need to call me if you have a problem recently. I want to cultivate myself and quit drinking and sex for a while." As she said that, she clasped her hands together and made a gesture of begging Zhou Zhou, and then hurriedly followed.

After everyone left, Jiang Wanqiu and herself walked slowly towards the nearby subway entrance at a leisurely pace.

Ji Xia just followed each other, she didn't care at all why they didn't go to the parking lot like everyone else, and she didn't care that Jiang Wanqiu didn't say a word.

She just identified this person.

"Take the subway. The subway is not crowded at this time. You haven't been back for more than a year. I don't know that there is a new cherry blossom-themed Line [-], which just happens to go directly to your door." After the two walked for a while, Jiang Only in late autumn did she open her mouth slowly.

"Listen to you."

Ji Xia gathered up his windbreaker, and held the other's hand a little tighter.

It's just a little inconvenient - it's too conspicuous for her to walk on the road with a handful of white roses in her arms, let alone take transportation now?

Pedestrians passing by will almost turn their heads to look at themselves, which is really embarrassing.

Jiang Wanqiu soon discovered Ji Xia's discomfort.

"Otherwise, throw away the flower, it's very troublesome to hold it all the time." She suggested.

Flowers are just a symbol. Now that the flowers are delivered to the person who should receive them, their meaning will be given in place. It doesn't matter whether they are thrown away or taken home and inserted into a vase.

"I do not want."

"I just like to hug."

As Ji Xia said, he hugged the bouquet in his arms even tighter.

Seeing Ji Xia's subconscious action, Jiang Wanqiu couldn't resist stretching out his hand towards the flowers in Ji Xia's arms.

I saw that the person was very vigilant and sideways to the side, and she didn't let her touch it at all.

Like an animal protecting food, she couldn't help laughing out loud.

Wanfeng and Jiang Wanqiu's laughter entered Ji Xia's ears, and the girl suddenly felt a sense of reality.

In the past, when I was walking on the street in a foreign country and listening to Jiang Wanqiu's voice on the phone, it had never been so real.

She shook her head for a moment before hastily changing the subject.

"By the way, you are coming here tonight... Is your father in the hospital alone?" Ji Xia seemed to think of something suddenly, and asked aloud, "Are you going back to the hospital later?"

It turned out that Jiang Wanqiu's father, Jiang Lin, was diagnosed with mid-stage lung cancer during Ji Xia's overseas visit. Fortunately, it was not an advanced stage, and he could still be cured, but it would take some trouble.

"I hired a nurse to accompany him there, and I told him not to go to the hospital tonight."

"Because you're back."

After finishing the first half of the sentence, Jiang Wanqiu deliberately paused before finishing the remaining half of the sentence: "He said in two days that I will take you to the hospital when you have time."

"You talked to him?"

"say what?"

The two asked and answered, and they had already reached the subway entrance.

Further down is the underground passage, but Ji Xia stopped at this moment and did not go any further.

Looking at the smile that never disappeared on Jiang Wanqiu's face, she always felt that something was wrong.

"Say..." Ji Xia closed his lips, hesitant to speak.

She wanted to say it, but she was afraid that the truth would not be what she thought. Because she was not sure, she swallowed the words that came to her mouth again.

"Say I'm back?"

She probed.

"Is that all?" Jiang Wanqiu asked back.

This question made Ji Xia's steady heartbeat skip a beat for an instant.

"Then did you say something else?" she asked.

Ji Xia realized that Jiang Wanqiu was still the same Jiang Wanqiu after such a long time, the one who could pinpoint her emotional ups and downs and guess her thoughts.

He only heard the voice of the other party ringing in his ears again, and the unfinished words continued.

"I told him before you came back, I said I was in love."

"The object is a girl."

"I can't go to the hospital tonight because I have to pick her up."

Jiang Wanqiu's voice was very gentle and pleasing to the ear, but this kind of gentleness could not ease Ji Xia's uneasy mood. Instead, it was like a soft knife hanging above his head. .

Ji Xia held her breath, and she nervously listened to Jiang Wanqiu finish these few words without haste, but there was no more words after that.

The girl asked dissatisfiedly: "And then?"

It's like reading a novel and seeing that there is no next chapter when the climax is halfway through, she is experiencing such an experience now.

"Then……"

"There's no after that."

Jiang Wanqiu curled her lips to end the topic at this point, then stepped on the stairs to the underground passage.

Ji Xia was stunned for a while before quickly following up. She had lost her previous composure and indifference, and she couldn't accept that the topic just stopped here.

Fortunately, there is actually nothing left behind.

Under Ji Xia's questioning, Jiang Wanqiu finally threw out some more information.

"Well, he actually asked me a question at the end."

"What?"

The two stopped at the entrance, Jiang Wanqiu took out her mobile phone to enter the station by swiping the QR code, then turned her head to Ji Xia's ear and whispered the answer——

"He asked me: 'So are you the one on top?'"

The author has something to say: "Then what did you say?"
