Jing Li sat there, listening to what he said, and couldn't say a word for a long time.
She never dreamed that the glass bottle that she had given away many years ago would one day appear in front of her.
And, it is filled with another heart.
That was a reward for her kindness many years ago.
Today, at this moment, Jing Li was originally extremely sensitive to the word "repay", but when faced with this "repay", her heart beat wildly and uncontrollably.
too long.
That past intention has been far away from what it is now. She never expected that that intention would be responded to. She even thought that he might not have paid attention to the one chocolate every day and the final gift from beginning to end.
candy jar…
But not only did he notice it, he also sent the jar back to her many years later.
It turns out he knew.
It turns out he knew everything.
He knew her initial liking, and he also knew her subsequent liking.
Not only did he know, he also responded to her.
Although this response is long overdue, it is really important and important...
"When I received this jar of candies, I didn't know who it was. When I guessed it was you, you had already transferred to another school. At that time, I didn't have time to ask."
"Four years ago, I was confused. I didn't dare to delve into it, and I didn't dare to look back."
"And now, I just want to know, can I get a third chance?"
After hearing this, Jing Li turned away uncontrollably and raised her hand to wipe the tears that were about to fall from the corners of her eyes.
She should say something, but what can she say?
She was afraid that if she opened her mouth, she would enter a situation from which she could not turn back——
She stood there almost stiffly. Huo Qiran stood up uncontrollably and wanted to approach her.
At this moment, Stewart, who had disappeared before, suddenly walked into the courtyard door. After realizing that the courtyard door was open, he asked: "Jing, are you back?"
Jing Li suddenly came back to her senses, walked out of the tea room quickly, and said to Stewart: "Yes, I'm back first, where have you been?"
Stewart was about to answer when he turned around and suddenly saw Huo Qiran standing behind Jing Li. He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, "We have guests?"
Jing Li turned around slightly, and then she realized that Huo Qiran had arrived behind her at some point. Her mood was extremely confused for a moment, and she was afraid that Stewart would join the conversation again, so she raised her head and said, "He's here to find me."
.”
Stewart, a veteran in love, could not understand the meaning of this sentence. After nodding his head with a slight smile, he consciously avoided it.
But Jing Li just felt that nothing she said or did was right at the moment, so she wiped her face violently, and then finally turned to look at Huo Qiran, "When will you return to Tongcheng?"
Huo Qiran paused, then slowly said: "There is another flight at midnight today."
Jing Li was startled.
She did not expect that Huo Qiran would travel back and forth between Huaishi and Tongcheng on the same day in order to see her.
It was already late at night, and if he wanted to take that flight, he would be leaving almost immediately.
She shook her head slowly, "You shouldn't have come..."
Huo Qiran suddenly stretched out his hand to hold her, and whispered: "What if I say, I must come?"
Jing Li immediately withdrew her hand and raised her eyes to look at him, "I don't know, I really don't know... Huo Qiran, go back... Give yourself a little more time and think about it.
It’s clear, is that okay?”
Hearing this, Huo Qiran looked at her quietly for a moment, and finally nodded slowly.
"I'm sorry." He whispered, "I never thought it would bother you so much. It's just that you left suddenly, so I felt that I had to leave this time. If you want time, I can wait until you
When there are no more doubts and the answer is certain, we can start again."
Listening to his words, Jing Li was stunned again. When she came to her senses, Huo Qiran had already stood in front of her again and said to her: "Then I will go back first. Anyway, you will stay in Huai City for a while.
, I’ll come see you again when I have time.”
After speaking, he paused for a moment, as if waiting for her to say something.
But Jing Li couldn't say a word.
In the end, Huo Qiran nodded, smiled and said "goodbye" to her, then walked out of the tea room, looked back at the door of the small courtyard, said to her "remember to lock the door", and then finally disappeared behind her
in sight.
Jing Li was still in a daze and stood there for a long time before finally walking to the entrance of the small courtyard.
Huo Qiran helped her close the door when she left, and specifically told her to remember to lock the door, but she opened the door uncontrollably.
The moment she opened the door, Jing Li froze again.
Huo Qiran was standing outside the door. Seeing her open the door, he seemed not surprised. He just smiled slightly and repeated the same sentence: "Remember to lock the door."
Jing Li didn't know why, but she became slightly annoyed. She closed the old-fashioned wooden door in front of him and bolted the door.
The old-fashioned wooden door could not be completely closed, and there was still a half-finger-wide gap between the two doors, and in the gap, she could still see his figure.
Obviously, Huo Qiran can still see her.
"I really have to leave." He said to her, "We'll see you in two days."
Jing Li didn't answer him.
Huo Qiran stood at the door for another moment, knocked on the door twice again, as if saying "goodbye" to her again, and then finally turned and left.
Jing Li was filled with confusion and returned to her room without a trace. When she walked into the bathroom, turned on the faucet, and poured a handful of cold water on her face, she suddenly realized something——
Just now she asked him to give himself more time to think clearly, but his answer was that if she needed time, he was willing to wait.
What is he waiting for?
Who wants him to wait?
Jing Li's mind was in a mess, so she took cold water and rubbed her face vigorously.
…
In the next two days, in Stewart's words, Jing Li's performance was not as good as before. The main manifestation was that her energy was not as concentrated as before, and she seemed to have something on her mind.
Stewart met Huo Qiran that day, and naturally he said these words to tease her, but Jingli only thought that he was criticizing her work attitude, so she could only clear all those annoying people and things out of her mind again, and concentrate on
Get involved in the work.
On Friday, she and Stewart passed by one of the most famous parks in Huai City. Stewart walked up to a few old men playing chess and started to watch them with interest. Jing Li neither understood nor was interested, so she turned around to look for them.
A stone bench is used to organize today’s information.
It's late summer, and although the temperature is not as harsh as it was in the previous two months, as the sun shifts, it will still be very hot when the sun hits your body.
However, Jing Li sat there for a long time with a touch of coolness above her head.
Until the pain in her neck became unbearable and she couldn't help but turn her neck, her eyes suddenly fell on the shadow on the ground in front of her.
The sun came from behind, but what she saw was not her own shadow, but... an umbrella.
