heavy evening light

When Tao Jiang arrived, only Xi Nan was left in the private room, and Xi Nan was sitting and drinking.Seeing this, Tao Jiang didn't tell Xi Nan to go immediately, instead he sat down with him, took a side of Xi Nan's freshly unsealed wine, made a gesture of toasting with Xi Nan, and drank the wine in a muffled voice.

"You drink too?" Xi Nan glanced at Tao Jiang who was drinking, smiled and said, "Then how will you go back?" Xi Nan paused and reminded Tao Jiang, "Drunk driving is illegal."

"Tsk." Tao Jiang smiled indifferently, "Otherwise, I can't watch you drink in the bar?"

Xi Nan twitched the corners of his mouth, but did not answer Tao Jiang's words.Tao Jiang didn't take the initiative to find a topic, and when Xi Nan fell silent, he also shut up, imitating Xi Nan's muffled drinking.

But Xi Nan couldn't bear this atmosphere, and said before Tao Jiang asked, "I met an old friend."

Tao Jiang raised his eyebrows, thinking that it was not easy for Xi Nan to speak up, "A mutual friend with the ex?"

Xi Nan pushed his tongue against his teeth, and said softly, "Yes."

"Isn't that a good thing?" Tao Jiang didn't know what Xi Nan was struggling with, "If you meet a friend, then you can ask him for news about your ex, so that you don't have to find someone without a clue."

Xi Nan smiled wryly, "How can it be so easy?"

He took another sip of wine, bitterness appeared on the tip of his tongue, and then the bitterness spread to his heart, making Xi Nan frown uncontrollably.

After Xi Nan and Cui Rong collapsed in the conversation, the two stopped talking about Xiang Wanguang, but brought the topic back to work.Xi Nan knew that Cui Rong wouldn't tell him about Xiang Wanguang, so even though he really wanted to, Xi Nan didn't speak again, thinking in his heart to find another opportunity to get together with Cui Rong.

What surprised Xi Nan was that he didn't mention Xiang Wanguang again, but before leaving, Cui Rong took the initiative to mention Xiang Wanguang.

"Xi Nan," Cui Rong stood at the door, suddenly turned his head to look back, and said hesitantly, "I'm sorry."

"Huh?" Xi Nan snapped back to his senses, looking at Cui Rong strangely.

Seeing Xi Nan like this, Cui Rong smiled silently, and a smile finally appeared in his eyes, which made Xi Nan find some familiarity, "It's nothing, I just wanted to tell you that."

Xi Nan opened his mouth to speak, when Cui Rong continued, "After all, Xiang Wanguang liked you so much before, if I let him know how I treated you just now, I'm afraid..."

Cui Rong didn't finish his sentence, and after speaking halfway, he shook his head helplessly, cut off the words that had reached his lips, and said in a serious tone, "Xi Nan, I didn't lie to you, you can continue now life."

"As for those feelings in the past, or those old friends," Cui Wei lowered his head and smiled bitterly, and said, "Forget what you can forget, there is really no need to contact again."

"Don't try to contact other people, I think no matter who you contact, you will get the same answer." Cui Ruo said.

Unconvinced, Xi Nan lost his usual demeanor, and explained to himself in a slightly embarrassed manner, "I left because of..."

"We don't care about this, and neither does Xiang Wanguang." Cui Wei interrupted Xi Nan, and said from the perspective of a bystander, "And even if you have a reason, you are for his own good, then you can say it."

"Say it exactly, understand?" Cui Rong's voice was tinged with anger, and he felt sorry for Xiang Wanguang, "But what choice did you make?"

Xi Nan's teeth chattered, thinking of the things he did and said back then, he couldn't hold back a word for a while.

"High school students really don't have much ability, and you are no different than a mantis against your father." Cui Rong said, "But if you open the sky and tell the truth, then now you and Xiang Wanguang are just a foreign couple who are hard to get in touch with, which is better than what you did back then. So ugly."

Xi Nan looked at Cui Rao, who was getting more and more excited as he talked, and became strangely quiet.He stared at Cui Rong, who was out of breath due to mood swings, and asked after a pause, "When did you have such a good relationship with him?"

After all, although Cui Rong and Xiang Wanguang were able to talk at that time, it was by no means the relationship that could stand out for Xiang Wanguang as it is now.

Cui Wei didn't expect Xi Nan to ask this question, so he didn't realize it for a while, and stood in a daze at the door for a long time.And wait until you come to your senses

Finally, the corners of Cui Zhi's mouth curled up slightly, and he smiled and did not answer Xi Nan's question.

But Cui Rong didn't keep silent anymore, he squinted at Xi Nan, and continued, "Xi Nan, think about what I said seriously, and stop being stubborn."

Xi Nan pursed his lips tightly, and said, "It's been seven years, and I returned to China for him." Xi Nan smiled, and then said, "You don't have to tell me, do you know where the proprietress of the milk tea shop in front of the school has gone? You can also tell me her contact information."

"It's useless." Cui Wei smiled wryly when he heard the words, a look of sadness flashed in his eyes, and added, "It's useless for you to find anyone."

Because whoever you look for, you get the same answer.Cui Rong twitched the corner of his mouth and added in his heart.

"The first day after you left..." Cui Wei paused, skipping the specific number and said, "Xiang Wanguang, he..."

Before Cui Rong finished speaking, Xi Nan said first, "What's wrong with him?"

"He," Cui Rong said with a long tail, smiled softly, pushed open the door and walked out, and at the same time did not forget to say, "I'm probably very happy now."

Xi Nan sat slumped on his seat, staring at Cui Rong's back, thinking of what he said just now, he wished he could analyze word by word and find out the key points of what he said.

In this conversation with Cui Rong, Xi Nan was not hurt by Cui Rong's thorny words, but the meaning between the lines in Cui Rong's words, but Xi Nan couldn't care less.

Intuition told Xi Nan that what Cui Rao said was interesting, but he couldn't figure out what Cui Rao's unfinished words were.

"Don't think so much," Tao Jiang interrupted Xi Nan's memory, "The most urgent thing is to work. When you finish your work, you will have plenty of time to do what you want to do."

Xi Nan nodded, and pushed the wine aside, "The contract has been signed, and we can talk to the person in charge of the other party in two days after the follow-up matters."

Seeing Xi Nan talking about work, Tao Jiang became serious, "When will I come?"

"I'll come..." Xi Nan changed the subject, "Forget it, you can come." Xi Nan rubbed his temples and said, "I have to go out in two days."

"Where?" Tao Jiang asked smoothly.

Without pausing, Xi Nan said directly, "Jiangcheng."

"No, Xi Nan, it's only been a few days, and you're going there again." Tao Jiang looked at Xi Nan in surprise, "I really..."

"What are you thinking?" Xi Nan squinted at Tao Jiang, and corrected, "This time is on a business trip."

Tao Jiang opened his mouth to speak, but heard Xi Nan say, "But there are other things to do."

"..." Tao Jiang was tired, "All right."

Xi Nan raised the corner of his mouth, took the clothes he put on the chair next to him, and took the lead to go out, "It's getting late, go back first."

Although Cui Rong said so much, it didn't touch Xi Nan's heart.He will not really give up his choice because of Cui Rong's persuasion. He is not the same as he was seven years ago.

If he can only be in a passive position as before, then Xi Nanbai has lived for seven years, and he has suffered seven years of lovesickness in vain.

When Tao Jiang heard what Xi Nan said, he didn't hesitate anymore, and stood up and walked out, planning to call a car to take Xi Nan home.Xi Nan did not refuse Tao Jiang's kindness.

Xi Nan's flight at nine o'clock in the morning arrived in Jiangcheng only after twelve o'clock.And he came here this time mainly to talk about endorsements, but when he arrived in Jiangcheng, Xiaohua, who has recently become popular in the entertainment industry, was still rushing to make announcements, so he would not be able to attend the appointment for a while.

After the manager knew that Xi Nan had arrived, he originally wanted to come and pick him up, lest Xi Nan was unfamiliar with the place of life in Jiangcheng, and there was nothing interesting to do.However, after hearing what the manager said, Xi Nan politely declined the manager's offer and said, "It's not too late to contact me after you are done with your work."

Hearing that the manager hesitated for a while, he could only say yes.

And Xi Nan, who had just come out of the airport, stood on the road outside the airport, staring at the city that he hadn't been to for a while, and couldn't help but feel dazed.

The development and changes of a city can make people feel the passage of time the most. Although Jiangcheng was prosperous a few years ago, it is not as it is today.

He sighed, took out his mobile phone and was about to take a taxi, but his eyes suddenly fell somewhere on the side of the road, and then he couldn't move his eyes away.It was a shared bicycle parking place, and at this time a boy in school uniform was standing by his bicycle.

Inexplicably, Xi Nan remembered the scene when he came to see Xia Dong off a few years ago, and Xiang Wanguang came to pick him up on a bicycle.

The boy was playing with his mobile phone with his head down, his hands were typing rapidly, as if he was replying to someone else's message, and there was a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, so that everyone who saw him could feel his good mood.

Seeing this scene, Xi Nan suddenly felt sad, but he also knew that the boy was waiting for someone.Sure enough, a few minutes later, a girl in a floral skirt, dragging a pink and purple bag, walked towards the boy with a smile.

The boy who was playing with his mobile phone, saw the girl coming, quickly put away the phone, stretched out his arms and hugged the girl.The girl didn't feel embarrassed either. She tiptoed and kissed the side of the boy's face. After giving the bag to the boy, she obediently sat on the back seat of the bicycle, waiting for the boy to start riding the bicycle.

The boy smiled, carried the girl's bag on his back, and then rode his bicycle forward under the girl's orders.

Under the sun at around [-] o'clock at noon, in the gentle and warm autumn wind, the hem of the boy's clothes was blown up, and the girl's laughter was scattered in the wind. At the age of teens, he was still talking about the best love.

Xi Nan stared at their receding backs, suddenly felt his eyes sore, and at the same time became uncontrollably envious.And the girl in front suddenly turned around for no reason, and met Xi Nan who hadn't had time to look away.

The girl was slightly stunned, she didn't come back to her senses for a moment, she just stared at Xi Nan stupidly.On the contrary, Xi Nan regained his composure and realized that it was impolite to stare at the girl like this. After smiling apologetically at the girl, he prepared to turn his eyes away to do the unfinished business.

But now the girl came back to her senses, raised her hand and waved at Xi Nan, and said enthusiastically, "Good afternoon."

She didn't know Xi Nan, and she didn't know if it was possible to meet again in the future, but on such an afternoon, when she saw Xi Nan standing at the exit of the airport, she felt that he was surrounded by sadness.Then she waved to him in a strange way, and greeted him loudly, just to let Xi Nan know that this world is still more beautiful.

No matter what gets him in a bad mood, love and kindness will always surround him.

Xi Nan raised the corners of his mouth and smiled, and the sadness of coming to Jiangcheng finally dissipated because of this little episode.

Xi Nan took a taxi to the hotel he had booked in advance. After putting away his luggage, seeing that it was still early, he thought about going out for a walk, so as not to stay in the hotel and feel bored.

However, Xi Nan kept reminding himself not to touch places related to Xiang Wanguang, but as soon as he left the hotel, he uncontrollably took a taxi to the place where Xiang Wanguang lived back then.

The alley is still the same, with old people sitting on both sides of the street chatting about family affairs, and the house where the two lived for half a year is now even more dilapidated, and the people living in it have changed a few times, and it is no longer the same as when Xiang Wanguang lived. trace.

Xi Nan would not want to go to such a place again.

He turned around and left, thinking in his heart that since he had already broken the precept, there was no need to force himself to persist in things that he could not do.So after leaving the alley, Xi Nan took a taxi to No. [-] Middle School, wanting to try his luck at a milk tea shop, to see if he could meet Jiang Yueyue, the hands-off shopkeeper.

Probably because he met Cui Rong, Xi Nan felt that his luck was getting better, so he got out of the car and saw Jiang Yueyue walking out of the milk tea shop.

The wind chime hanging at the door of the milk tea shop is still there, and now a gust of wind blows and lifts the wind chime hanging at the door. In a second, he pushed open the door of the milk tea shop, and he could see Xiang Wanguang who was making milk tea with a cold face and indifferently rejecting the girl's confession.

However, Jiang Yueyue's calm gaze made Xi Nan sober up in an instant, clearly understanding that this was not that afternoon.No evening light, no lemonade.

Jiang Yueyue didn't expect that she would meet Xi Nan here, but she froze for a moment, then straightened her expression, changed the direction she was going to, and came towards Xi Nan, finally stood still in front of Xi Nan, and smiled Said, "I'm back."

"Sister Moon," Xi Nan still called her as he did back then, and said, "Long time no see.

"
