Chen Enci opened his mouth, and after a long time, he finally managed to say: "When did it happen?"
After she finished speaking for more than ten seconds, she realized that her tone was slightly trembling when she asked this question.
"Let me think about it..." Jiang Nuan muttered the time in a low voice: "Last year, the year before last, the year before that, the year before that..."
Jiang Nuan suddenly said: "I remember, it was this time the year before last..."
At this time the year before last...he and she broke up in the late summer of the year before last. In other words, it happened about four or five months after they broke up?
Chen Enci felt unspeakably depressed in his heart: "Then those days for him were... difficult?"
"It was quite difficult. At that time, the capital chain was broken. Those who were in the original team couldn't survive. Some changed careers, some returned to their hometowns, some got married and had children. In short, they were all scattered.
There are four people left, and we all quarrel every day
, the pressure is high, there is no hope, no one can control their temper, today it is not your mentality that is broken, tomorrow it is his mentality that will be broken... Sometimes maybe just speaking louder can cause a quarrel, now looking back,
It was a complete mess at that time..."
"The kind of days that can drive people crazy lasted for about three months. Later, the lack of funds was so severe that everyone could no longer raise the money, so the boss sold the house."
Jiang Nuan was silent for a moment as if thinking about something, and suddenly said: "I'm right. After selling the house, the boss started taking antidepressants."
Chen Enci was stunned for a long time and asked: "Is it...a house in Shanghai?"
Jiang Nuan: "Yes, the house in Shanghai was also when we came to Beijing."
Chen Enci remained silent.
Jiang Nuan wanted to say something more, but suddenly she caught sight of a few people entering the nursing home from the corner of her eye. She stopped what she was saying and gently bumped Chen Enci with her arm, "Boss and the others are here."
Chen Enci turned around and saw Qin Jirong and several people walking towards them.
The light of the setting sun came from behind him and outlined a golden border on his shoulders.
Because it was against the light, his face was hidden in the shadows. It wasn't until he came closer that she saw his eyes looking at her clearly.
He looked at her for a moment, and for some reason, her heart skipped a beat.
The next second, she quickly looked away.
She squeezed the mineral water bottle in her hand, feeling inexplicably panicked.
Chen Enci didn't pay much attention to the situation around her. She could vaguely hear Qin Zhe talking to the elderly in the nursing home.
He was obviously not far from her, but she felt that his voice was very far away, as if it came from another time and space.
At first, she could still understand what he said clearly, but later, his voice turned into a buzzing sound, and then, she couldn't hear anything at all...
"Boss." When Jiang Nuan saw Qin Jie approaching, he quickly stood up and gave up his position.
Qin Zhe nodded to Jiang Nuan, pulled the chair back a little, and sat down.
He saw that the little girl next to him was not looking at him, but was digging at the screen of her mobile phone.
Her screensaver was her photo, and the place where she dug her fingertips happened to be her face. Seeing her move, he couldn't help but want to laugh. He tilted his head towards her and said, "Your face is so fast."
It was torn apart by you."
"Ah?" Chen Enci turned to look at Qin Jie.
As soon as she met his eyes, the feeling of panic filled her chest again. She reflexively avoided his sight and didn't even hear what he just said. In order to cover up her
Weird, she handed the mineral water in her hand to Qin Jie: "Did you just say you wanted to drink water?"
What he clearly said was: Your face is about to be torn apart by you.
Qin Jie glanced at the half bottle of mineral water left, then turned to look at Chen Enci.
Before he could take the mineral water, Chen Enci turned to look at Qin Jie.
The two people met their eyes again. Chen Enci stopped breathing, and the next second he unscrewed the bottle cap in a panic, "Are you going to drink it or not?"
Qin Ji raised his eyebrows and took away half of the mineral water that Chen Enci drank.
He stared at the lipstick stuck to the mouth of the mineral water bottle for a while, and then handed the water to his mouth.
Chen Enci, who quietly exhaled twice in succession, finally calmed down. She turned her head and saw Qin Jie, "Why are you drinking my water?"
Qin Ji: “…………”
Three seconds later, Qin Zhe took the mineral water from his mouth and handed it to Chen Enci: "Then give it back to you?"
Chen Enci took away his water without hesitation.
After a while, she realized that she had forced Qin Zie to drink the water she had just drank. Her ears felt inexplicably hot, so she put the mineral water to her mouth and took two sips.
After finishing the drink, she realized that Qin Zie had just drank it, and her ears suddenly burned even more.
In a hurry, her brain twitched, and the next second she handed the water to Qin Jie again: "Forget it, I'll let you drink it slowly."
Qin Jie chuckled lightly and tilted his head closer to Chen Enci's ear: "I suspect you are seducing me."
Chen Enci: "??????"
Ten seconds later, Chen Enci glanced at the water she handed to Qin Jie, and her mind exploded.
She asked him to take back the water he had drank. It was already embarrassing enough that she took two sips of it. Now she actually took two sips of the water and gave it back to him to drink... She is poisonous, right?
Chen Enci gritted his teeth secretly, "I was just kidding you..."
With that said, Chen Enci hurriedly took back the water he handed out.
But as soon as her hand could not be withdrawn, Qin Zie took her hand, put the water to his mouth, and drank it all in one breath.
After swallowing the last sip of water, Qin Zhe let go of Chen Enci's wrist, "Sorry, I took it seriously."
…
On the way back to the hotel from the nursing home, the weather suddenly changed. Dense dark clouds made the sky darken instantly. Lightning tore through the sky, accompanied by rolling thunder.
On the bus, Chen Enci, who was sleeping with his head tilted, was awakened by the sound of thunder.
She looked at the lightning and thunder outside the car window, her fingers slightly stiff.
Fortunately, when the weather changed, the bus was already very close to the hotel, and not long after, the bus stopped at the door of the hotel lobby.
According to the plan, there is a dinner party in the hotel's Chinese restaurant in the evening.
Qin Zhe didn't take the bus back with them. Chen Enci didn't know exactly whether she arrived at the hotel or not, but she asked Jiang Nuan to go to a Chinese restaurant together and found a place where she got up too early in the morning and was now so sleepy that she felt dizzy.
The excuse was declined.
Back in the hotel room, another bolt of lightning split the night sky just outside the window, and Chen Enci hid under the quilt reflexively.
