Now
Six years later, the reunion happened unexpectedly.
Late at night on the first day of the Lunar New Year, without any warning, Ji Shang suddenly returned home and suddenly appeared again.
His body temperature was extremely hot, and his voice was deep when breathing, but he was buried on Yu Yuan'er's shoulder, holding a section of her soft pink waist and refusing to let go.
She knew she shouldn't, knew he hated her.
But he was drunk and sick, and he whispered softly, holding her wrist, asking her to stay there... His voice was broken and sickly, and it hurt her heart.
Yu Yuan'er fluttered his eyelashes, wrapped her delicate white arms around his neck, closed her eyes tremblingly, and let her consciousness sink.
Afterwards, he fell asleep, and she looked at him gently by the bedside. After a long time, she picked up her coat, picked up her high heels, and walked away simply.
Bet he... Won't remember.
.
Sure enough.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, I went to my grandpa's house to pay New Year's greetings, and Yu Yuan'er met him again.
He was leaning against the window with his tall and straight body, his thin eyelids slightly raised, and he glanced at her inadvertently, his brows and eyes were cold and cold, almost overflowing with disgust.
The gentleness and humility of the past are no longer the same.
The memories are beyond recognition.
It seems that everyone looks like Ji Shang, but only Ji Shang no longer looks like him
Yu Yuan'er ignored the dull pain in his heart, his eyes were filled with warmth, his lips curved, and he said to him naturally: Happy New Year.
Ji Shang looked at her with indifferent eyes. He paused for a moment, then suddenly lowered his head, pinched out his cigarette, and pulled his lower lip mockingly.
Not a word was answered.
Later.
Yu Yuan'er learned that he was engaged on the other side of the ocean, and his fiancée's name happened to be the same as hers.
Hazel…
Hazel…
She suddenly realized that she had made a mistake, a big mistake...
She was not the one he wanted to keep that night.
Past
17 years old in the summer.
Yu Yuan'er's unsent love letter was circulated throughout the grade by his classmates. Ji Shang, as the original recipient, was the last to see it.
He picked it up from the ground, smoothed the creases on the card, read each word for a long time, laughed, then gradually solidified, then calmed down, finally closed the card and put it back in her textbook.
He knew that he would never receive this love letter again.
It didn't take long.
Things are going well in the Yu family, and Yu Yuan'er returns to school.
When she heard the gossip around her, her first reaction was not to question why her secret love was exposed, nor to see if the love letter was in its original place.
Instead, she walked up to him, lowered her eyes, lightly grasped the hem of her school uniform, and told him in a low voice, "Classmate Ji Shang, don't get me wrong, I don't like you."
Ji Shang stared at her, his expression calm and unchanged, but his eyes gradually became colder.
Yu Yuan'er grew up wrapped in love, and the rich man was content and happy. She subconsciously avoids sharpness and indifference, preferring gentleness and humility. People who fit this characteristic can always quickly enter her world and be remembered by her face.
Ji Shang spent some effort, but in the end, he was screwed up by a group of unrelated people.
He slowly pulled his lower lip, barely suppressing the coldness in his bones.
Later
Yu Yuan'er disappeared for a long time.
Ji Shang found her but did not dare to see her.
He promised her that he would wait as long as she wanted to, until the day she wanted to see him.
It's still summer.
An ordinary afternoon.
Ji Shang looked at the caller ID and was stunned after seeing it for so long.
The call is connected.
The familiar voice is still gentle and light.
Ji Shang's eyebrows trembled.
"Ji Shang... Do you want to eat durian..."
"I miss you too."
I really, really, really want to.
