After Jiang Xiangyang separated from Wang Meng downstairs, he turned on his mobile phone and slowly walked up the stairs following the faint light. The place Jiang Xiangyang rented was an old building, and the lights in the corridor would break every once in a while. Jiang Xiangyang had become accustomed to this situation.
When Jiang Xiangyang reached the third floor and took out the key to open the door, a dark figure suddenly came out from behind and hugged Jiang Xiangyang. The man's strong smell of alcohol came from Jiang Xiangyang's ears, which made people feel Scalp numbness.
"Ah!" Jiang Xiangyang was shocked by the sudden change. Although it was already past ten o'clock, the security in Xiaohe Town had always been very good. Jiang Xiangyang did not expect that he would encounter a pervert here, and he panicked for a moment.
Thinking of a couple living opposite him, Jiang Xiangyang shouted, "Uncle Zhang, help!"
"It's me! Don't be afraid."
Hearing the familiar voice, Jiang Xiangyang gave up struggling and slowly calmed down. It turned out to be Jin Xiangyu.
"Why is it you? You scared me to death." Jiang Xiangyang was really frightened, and his eyes were filled with tears because he was so nervous just now.
"My dear, it's my fault, I shouldn't have scared you like this." Jin Xiangyu also felt a little regretful, and it seemed that he really scared her. Originally, he wanted to give her a surprise, so he didn't tell Jiang Xiangyang in advance that he was waiting for her tonight. Now it seems that surprise has turned into shock.
"What's wrong?" The door opposite Jiang Xiangyang opened, and Uncle Zhang and his wife stuck their heads out to take a look. The couple probably heard Jiang Xiangyang's cry for help and came out to see what happened.
Now that something had happened, Jiang Xiangyang felt a little embarrassed to disturb others, but he was still very grateful that the couple could come out to save him, "Uncle Zhang, Aunt Zhang, my friend was joking with me just now and was accidentally scared. Now It’s okay now, I won’t disturb your rest.”
Uncle Zhang looked at the man standing next to Jiang Xiangyang curiously, "I'm here to see you so late. Is he your boyfriend?"
"Ah, Uncle Zhang, what did you say? Just a friend." Jiang Xiangyang shook his head hastily.
"You girl, why are you so shy?" Aunt Zhang looked at Jiang Xiangyang and smiled, "We are all from your age."
"Uncle Zhang, you are really discerning." Jin Xiangyu felt that this couple was really discerning and was very satisfied with them calling him Jiang Xiangyang's boyfriend.
"Uncle Zhang, don't listen to his nonsense." Jiang Xiangyang knew what he was explaining now, and Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang couldn't listen to it anymore.
"Okay, since there's nothing wrong, your aunt and I will go back to sleep. You young people have fun." Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang closed the door, leaving Jiang Xiangyang and Jin Xiangyu standing outside the door, staring at each other.
"Why are you here so late?" Jiang Xiangyang broke the embarrassment in front of him.
"I'm waiting for you." Jin Xiangyu stared at Jiang Xiangyang with gentle eyes.
Although there was no light in the stairwell, Jiang Xiangyang still felt Jin Xiangyu's focused eyes on him. Jiang Xiangyang felt uncomfortable being stared at by Jin Xiangyu, and said in a vague tone: "What are you waiting for me to do?"
"Are you sure the two of us want to stand in such a dark stairwell and chat?" Jin Xiangyu's tone was ambiguous.
"Then shall I take you down?" Subconsciously, Jiang Xiangyang did not want Jin Xiangyu to enter his home again. She didn't know what would happen if Jin Xiangyu was allowed into her room this time?
"Where to go? Xiangyang, even if you don't like me, I think we can at least be friends? For the sake of me waiting for you for so long, can't you invite your friend in for a cup of tea?" Jin Xiangyu asked cautiously .
Jiang Xiangyang listened to Jin Xiangyu's pleading tone and felt that it would be a bit unkind to not let him in. "Okay, come in, we have agreed, and you will leave after having a cup of tea."
"Okay." Jin Xiangyu knew that Jiang Xiangyang was a soft-hearted person.
Jiang Xiangyang opened the door and turned on the light, walked to the kitchen and boiled water to make tea for Jin Xiangyu.
Looking at Jin Xiangyu as if he had entered his own home, he bent down and picked up the slippers he put in the shoe cabinet at the door. He took off his coat and put it on the sofa. He took off his glasses that he had worn all day and put them on the coffee table. He rubbed his temples.
The water boiled, Jiang Xiangyang made a cup of tea and put it on the coffee table, "Secretary-General, the tea is ready. Finish it quickly and leave."
Jin Xiangyu shook his head, which was slightly heavy from drinking, and listened to Jiang Xiangyang's driving words: "Xiang Yang, don't be so heartless. Let me rest first."
Jiang Xiangyang knew that he shouldn't let this man in so easily. It's easy to please a god but hard to send him away. Seeing Jin Xiangyu's uncomfortable look, he couldn't say any more words to drive him away, "Then drink some tea and sober up."
"Xiang Yang, what do you think about what I said last time?" Jin Xiangyu picked up the teacup and took a sip.
Jiang Xiangyang didn't know what to say. She had to admit that Jiang Xiangyang was moved by the fact that Jin Xiangyu, the secretary-general of the municipal party committee, still insisted after she refused again and again.
If Jiang Xiangyang's mother had not passed away, if she had not experienced what she described, if Shen Yunfei was not around now, and if Jiang Xiangyang were five years younger, she would be willing to try this relationship regardless of whether she and Jin Xiangyu ended up.
However, there are not so many ifs in this world. Jiang Xiangyang didn't want to disappoint his father, didn't want to make Shen Yunfei sad, and didn't want to throw himself into this love affair that was destined to be fruitless like a moth to a flame.
Jiang Xiangyang could only refuse, and said in a heavy tone: "Secretary-General, I have said it many times. It is impossible between us. Besides, I have a boyfriend now. We have met my parents and will be engaged soon. ”
"What?" Jin Xiangyu opened his eyes suddenly, unable to believe what he heard, "Are you getting engaged?"
Jiang Xiangyang just wanted Jin Xiangyu to give up as soon as possible, so he made up the news about his engagement. Listening to Jin Xiangyu's shocked tone, Jiang Xiangyang felt a little guilty, "Yes. So, it's impossible for you and me."
"Jiang Xiangyang, am I too indulgent of you! Are you actually getting engaged behind my back?" Jin Xiangyu took a sharp breath.
Jiang Xiangyang stared at his feet, not daring to look directly at Jin Xiangyu, and did not reply.
"Jiang Xiangyang, you are mute! How dare you! How dare you!" Jin Xiangyu's chest felt tight because of Jiang Xiangyang's anger.
"Secretary-general, I'm sorry, we are really not suitable. Now that the tea is finished, can you leave?" Jiang Xiangyang looked expressionless, trying hard to ignore what Jin Xiangyu said, and just hoped that Jin Xiangyu could leave quickly.
"Jiang Xiangyang, you really know how to stab me in the chest. My patience has its limits..." Jin Xiangyu stood up, opened the door and left.
