Turning around, Wu Jiang began to check every place. There was no oversight and he was meticulous in his duties.
In the distance, Wenxi was hiding silently behind a lamppost, standing with his back against the lamppost.
The bright light shone down, making her want to shrink into a ball...
She knew she shouldn't be here anymore.
Failure to keep one's word is what Brother Jiang hates the most.
It was agreed that she would not bother him again, and she could not see him again...
A tall shadow suddenly shrouded down——
As if sensing something, Wen Xi raised her head hastily and saw Wu Jiang standing beside her, staring at her with a pair of emotionless eyes.
He wasn't wearing sunglasses, but he was still indifferent.
What she saw in his eyes wasn't even hatred, just coldness.
It's so cold that one feels like one's heart has fallen into an ice cave.
"You...how did you know?" Wen Xi looked at him awkwardly like a caught thief.
"..."
Wu Jiang lowered his eyes in silence.
Wen Xi followed his line of sight and saw her elongated shadow on the ground.
He always found her.
"..."
Wen Xi looked even more embarrassed, while Wu Jiang stood beside her, not leaving, and showing no intention of talking to her...
The first time she saw him, she didn't feel any change in him.
The second time she took off his sunglasses, she realized that he had matured.
And these three times, she felt more and more that he had changed too much, that his face was no longer cold and hard as before, and that his eyes were too cold and devoid of any emotion.
…
She has been waiting for him to come back.
Seeing him, she wanted to hug him desperately.
But again and again, the coldness in his eyes made her realize...it turned out that so many years had really passed.
Suddenly, she was afraid to touch his eyes.
…
"I... didn't mean to disturb you. I didn't want to take you back."
After all, it was she who broke the silence. She felt embarrassed, uneasy, nervous, forced herself to be calm, and twisted her sleeves with her hands.
Deep in my heart, there was a glimmer of hope that he would ask: Then why did you come?
Then she will answer...
"Well, you should go back." Wu Jiang stood beside her and responded lightly.
His tone was neither salty nor bland, without any waves.
It seemed that whether she came or not and why she came had nothing to do with him.
…
My heart almost stopped beating, and I was suffocated to the point of pain.
Wen Xi stood there, lowered his eyes, his long eyelashes like butterfly wings trembled, and nodded, "Yes."
Wu Jiang turned sideways.
Under his gaze, Wenxi raised his feet and left step by step, with great difficulty.
"Brother Jiang, are you happy now?"
Wen Xi suddenly turned around and looked straight at him with a pair of trembling eyes, as if he had exhausted all his strength.
We have to find out the truth.
Wu Jiang turned his face without revealing any trace, hiding the emotion in his eyes, "Of course."
"..."
She couldn't hear any reluctance on his part. If there was any slight fluctuation in his tone, she would still hold on to the slightest bit of extravagant hope.
But no.
He really likes his current life.
…
There are firecrackers sounding far away. Before and after the New Year, the country is always very lively.
"Happy New Year, Brother Jiang." Wen Xi looked at him under the lamppost and made a difficult voice.
"Happy New Year."
Wu Jiang stood behind her and responded to her, but his tone was as calm as if the four words had no tone.

Off-topic: I added the emotional line between Li Juesi and Wu Jiang in the extra chapter. I hope everyone likes it. Some people say that two books can be published separately, but I am not going to write it in detail. I just dedicated it to readers who like them. I haven’t said this for a long time.
That’s it – thank you for your support along the way.
