Wisps of sunlight streamed in from the floor-to-ceiling windows, and the light and shadow were dancing. Her face was very close to his, so close that she could feel his long breathing.
——There is a vague smell of Yunnan Baiyao.
But, but this is... Linxuyue?
Jiang Ningyu was stunned again and again, her mind stuck.
But the next second, the man underneath frowned and slowly reminded him, "I can't breathe."
"Ah? Ah!"
Jiang Ningyu stood up quickly, and when she jumped back, she didn't notice Lin Xuyue's hand subconsciously trying to hold her up.
She dusted her pants awkwardly and found that she was still wearing the same clothes as yesterday.
Why is she sleeping on the sofa?
Uh, no, the point is...
She moved her eyes to look at the man who had climbed up from the ground, and couldn't help but ask, "Why are you at my house?" She wanted to show a vigilant or wary expression, but she didn't want to admit that she didn't notice him at the moment she saw him.
He breathed a sigh of relief consciously.
But after Lin Xuyue got up, she picked up her cell phone and walked straight to the door.
Hearing her ask, he replied while changing his shoes, "You drank too much, so you held me back and refused to let you go."
The very calm tone made Jiang Ningyu suddenly feel uncomfortable. Before she could respond, he didn't want to stay any longer. He said "I'm going back" and quickly opened the door and left.
Buzzing.
The phone on the coffee table vibrated twice.
Jiang Ningyu retracted her gaze from staring at the door, knocked her head, turned around, and accidentally saw a small bottle of Yunnan Baiyao spray on the table.
No wonder there is a medicinal smell in the air.
She was silent for a moment, then picked up her phone and took a look.
It was just a reminder from a work text message. Maybe there was a bug in a program. Jiang Ningyu suppressed the soft emotions that had just emerged, found her laptop, and connected to the company's network.
It was half an hour after I finished correcting the bug.
She still felt a little dizzy. She looked at her phone and found that it was almost out of battery, so she went to lie down on the bed and charged her phone.
One night passed, maybe after spraying the medicine, the ankle no longer hurt.
She lay on the bed, opened WeChat as a habit, and saw two unread messages from the bar owner.
One is a photo. A photo of Lin Xuyue carrying her away.
"Fuck..."
Jiang Ningyu blurted out subconsciously and almost sat up in shock.
The boss below is kindly caring——
[How are you now? Your classmate said he would send you home? 】
——"...I went for plastic surgery to look uglier...I finally wanted to confess, but I screwed up..."
Some fragmentary fragments flashed through her mind, and Jiang Ningyu's expression turned petrified, "What the hell am I talking about..." She pursed her lips and sent a message back to her boss. When she saw a red unread message in her circle of friends, she clicked on it.
.
Seeing this, she was stunned again.
It was Lin Xuyue who liked the birthday greeting she posted yesterday and left a comment:
"Drink less in the future"
There wasn't even a punctuation mark, but she couldn't help but feel a sore nose.
However, a picture suddenly flashed through my mind at this moment——
"I wish you a happy birthday too... No! You have to give me a thumbs up too! Quick, thumbs up!" She grabbed Lin Xuyue's clothes and didn't let go.
"...Okay, you can let me go after clicking likes, okay?" Lin Xuyue gave in.
But she pushed even further, "I still want to comment!"
Then looking at his helpless expression, he asked seriously, "Have you finished writing it?"
Lin Xuyue had no choice but to lower her head and type something, and then showed her the phone, "It's written, that's it."
She moved closer to the screen, but her eyes were blurry and she couldn't see anything clearly. She could only raise her head and ask him, "What is it writing?"
"I love you."
"Well?"
"Write I love you, okay?"
"Ah, I love you too!"
…
The scene ended abruptly when she happily threw herself into the other person's arms.
Jiang Ningyu shuddered and shook her head hard, trying to push those strange, pink-bubbled "memories" to the back of her mind.
"I love you" is definitely a reverie extended by the subconscious! Lin Xuyue would not say such a thing.
Moreover, what he wrote was clearly "drink less in the future."
After thinking about it, she felt a little regretful and a little sorry. After thinking about it again and again, she was ready to apologize to Lin Xuyue——
"I'm sorry! Yesterday's drink was stronger than I thought. I've never been drunk before!"
After reading this sentence, she felt that the explanation was too cumbersome and unnecessary.
"I'm sorry, I didn't make trouble for you yesterday, did I?"
...just ask him if the floor is cold.
Jiang Ningyu scratched her hair irritably, hesitated again and again, and finally sent an unmistakable sentence——
"Sorry about yesterday, and thank you for the medicine."
Plus a "bow" emoticon.
During lunch, Lin Xuyue replied to her with two simple words - "It's okay."
Jiang Ningyu was chatting with colleagues around her, and the atmosphere was harmonious. She glanced at her phone and was about to slide it away when she accidentally glanced at the chat history on it.
It's really been two years. To be precise, it's two years and one day.
The last record was a birthday red envelope she sent two years ago. He confiscated it and finally returned it. During that time, they didn't talk much anymore. They only spoke two sentences every half a month, and it was basically her unilateral initiative.
The topic you are looking for.
At a certain point in time, there were more chats.
Time seemed to heal her extraordinarily. Jiang Ningyu realized it later. The past two years had softened many of An Ran's sad feelings. It wasn't until she saw him yesterday that the complicated and indebted feeling hit her again.
Jiang Ningyu held her cell phone. She didn't realize she was in a daze until her colleague called her. She smiled and said, "It's okay."
After eating, she returned to her workstation, picked up the Yunnan Baiyao she had brought to the company and placed next to her computer, and sprayed it on her ankles carefully.
At this time, she was pulled into an eight-person WeChat group [responsed at 15:30 on Sunday].
Lu Li invited her, and seven people including Lin Xuyue joined the group chat.
A DM with an official avatar posted a message——
[Hello everyone, I am the host of "Echo" in the Republic of China version! We will draw characters later. The method is blind drawing in the mini program, or you can exchange them directly in the mini program. There are 5 male and 4 female characters.
Detective!]
Then Lu Li said: [Okay, comrades, see you on Sunday! 】
"..."
Jiang Ningyu was stunned and immediately chatted with him privately: [Li Weiwei and I may not go! 】
But Lu Li said: [You agreed yesterday, you can't go back on your word, right?]
[When did I agree? Didn’t I say ask...]
[If you say I'll pay the bill, go ahead. I still have the bill for settlement, do you want to see it?]
Jiang Ningyu was stunned by the other party's confident response, and fell into a state of doubt.
Did she... say that yesterday? Did she drink too much and forget about it?
Immediately afterwards, Lu Li sent a screenshot of the bill.
Jiang Ningyu immediately believed most of it.
After Lu Li released the evidence, he changed his Huairou strategy——
[Moreover, after you agreed yesterday, I declined the other two friends. Isn’t it too bad to go back to them now? 】
Jiang Ningyu has always been soft-spoken, let alone such an unjust matter. The evidence is conclusive. Although she always feels like she has been tricked, she can only say "ok".
After pulling Li Weiwei into the group, she explained the whole story in private. Li Weiwei is a fun-loving person. When she first heard that she was going to play "Script Killing", she said without hesitation, "There's nothing to worry about. I have time.
I’m definitely going!”
But when she saw who was in the group, she fell silent again.
"I have something I want to say, but I don't know whether I should say it or not...forget it, let's say it in person when I come back." Li Weiwei's tone on the other end of the phone was helpless and melancholy.
Jiang Ningyu also felt guilty. Originally, she asked "Li Weiwei" out yesterday as a refusal. She just needed to find a reason to refuse afterwards. But she didn't expect that her wine taste was so bad. Not only did she talk nonsense, but she also agreed casually.
