That night, it was actually the first time for both of them.
Moreover, both of them can be described as "barren" in their love lives. Yu Juanzhou had no experience in love, and he had a late awakening since he was a child. When he grew up, he was busy with studies and career and had no time. The important thing was that his thoughts were devoted to Yu Nian.
Qiao Min seems to be very popular. How can she be surrounded by handsome men in her line of work? But if she was just having fun with those people, she wouldn't be able to do it seriously.
It’s not like Qiao Min didn’t hear the gossip from her subordinates. In the eyes of those people, for a big editor like her with fashion resources at her disposal, how many celebrities and influencers have to look at her face? How many newcomers want to get ahead but can't come here to pay homage to the mountain? In her position, what kind of handsome guy does she want? Isn't it just a matter of hooking your fingers?
In other words, she wanted to unspoken rules about who was too normal and easy to do.
But Qiao Min is still the same Qiao Min as before.
Even though she is now dressed in luxury and visiting Vanity Fair as if it were a common occurrence, she still retains her arrogance and stubbornness in her bones.
Her arrogance made her unwilling to go along with the conventions that she relied on to survive, and her stubbornness made her want to believe that there was pure love in the world even after she had long been accustomed to the current situation of men and women feasting and feasting.
Bai Yueguang in Qiao Min's heart is Yu Juanzhou.
When we meet again, this white moonlight will never leave my heart.
Now, she sleeps with her Bai Yueguang.
There is a kind of relationship that can only be watched from a distance but not played with, but she broke the habit and found that she was still a little addicted, so she was frightened for a while and ran away.
Yu Juanzhou exposed her directly, making all her calm and leisurely pretense become confused. For a moment, Qiao Min didn't know how to answer, so she looked at Yu Juanzhou blankly.
It was like someone had tapped his acupoints.
Yu Juanzhou approached her and smiled, "Have you got nothing to say?"
"Yu Juanzhou." Qiao Min responded with a serious expression, "What do you want?"
This sentence stunned Yu Juanzhou.
"You think I ran away, so what if you find me? What do you want?" Qiao Min made the question very specific.
"I..." Yu Juanzhou hesitated.
Seeing his reaction, Qiao Min smiled bitterly, "Look, Yu Juanzhou, you didn't even think about this problem before you came to me, why bother?"
Yu Juanzhou closed his eyes and was silent for a long time. When he raised his eyes again, his face was serious, "Yes, I haven't thought about what I want, but I'm looking for you... I just want to find you. I feel that after all, the two of them have a relationship. Because of the relationship, we can’t just pretend it didn’t happen, and I can’t let it go.”
Qiao Min said softly, "You shouldn't come to me when you haven't thought about it yet. You should just pretend that nothing happened. This is at least a way for adults to maintain their dignity."
"Your first time was given to me, and I should be responsible." Yu Juanzhou disagreed with her statement and shook his head, "You may not admit it, but I have to admit it."
Qiao Min was stunned for a moment after hearing what he said, and then asked him, "You came to me because you actually think you should be responsible for this matter, right?"
"Yes." Yu Juanzhou answered firmly this time.
Qiao Min fell silent.
Just looking at him, he suddenly smiled.
When Yu Juanzhou saw her smiling, he felt unsure. "you……"
"I know the person you like is not me." Qiao Min became more open at this time. She said straightforwardly, "Yu Juanzhou, actually you don't need to put such great psychological pressure on me. I don't take this matter to heart, and We were both drunk that night, you and I were adults, a man and a woman were alone in the same room, and when the time came and it felt right, something happened naturally."
She paused, took a deep breath and then said, "You don't have to be responsible for me, and I don't need you to be responsible."
Yu Juanzhou's expression turned grim and he looked at her, "So what do you want to express by saying this?"
"What I want to express is to relax in everything and pretend that nothing has happened. In today's society, eating and drinking of men and women is so normal." Qiao Min said clearly, "You don't have to be mentally burdened. We got along in the past, and in the future How can we get along with each other?"
Yu Juanzhou frowned slightly. He actually felt very uncomfortable when Qiao Min said that. No, he felt extremely uncomfortable. He wanted to say something but couldn't.
He wants to be responsible to the end, but he seems to be unable to give anything else except responsibility.
Qiao Min obviously didn't want to talk about this anymore and said softly, "Let's drive, I'm quite tired."
Yu Juanzhou felt as if a stone was weighing on his heart. It was so heavy that he could not breathe smoothly. After a long time he restarted the car.
Qiao Min turned to look at the flying snow outside the car window. The wind had picked up, and the flying snow in the night was blown into a mess, just like her heart, which was extremely disturbed by some inexplicable emotions.
-
The city lights in Beishi became hazy because of the snow.
Entering the city, the closer you get to the bustling city, the more lively it becomes, even though it's quite late. Perhaps because of the snow, many young people came out to take pictures of the snowy night and walk on the road.
Yu Nian can't say she likes or dislikes Xue, although she was born in Jiangnan and should have the idea that things are rare and valuable.
Maybe it was too depressing tonight, so she didn't have the heart to appreciate it.
For a long enough time, the carriage was quiet, and Lao Liu didn't even dare to play music.
Jiang Nianyan's displeasure has long since dissipated, but the tense atmosphere just now made both of them feel very low.
The car got off the overpass and slid onto the service road towards the group. It is a place full of neon lights, but behind the glamor there are also the most ordinary human fireworks.
There are a lot of people returning home at night. Some go to nearby restaurants to eat very late, and some work overtime until very late. In short, you can always find soothing vendors in the alleys behind the bustling city.
There is more warmth than coldness in the snow.
When there were still five minutes to drive, Jiang Nianyan suddenly asked Lao Liu to stop the car.
Old Liu was surprised, "Master Yan, it's coming soon."
"Stop the car." Jiang Nianyan ordered.
The car slowly stopped on the side of the road.
Yu Nian has been immersed in his own world, looking at the white snow, but his thoughts are trapped in the nursing home and cannot get out.
It took her a long time to realize that the car had stopped.
After a closer look, I saw that I hadn't arrived at the company yet, but it was nearby.
She wondered why she parked here.
Jiang Nianyan spoke in a low voice, "Want to get out of the car and take a walk?"
Yu Nian was startled, and it took him a long time to react, "Get out of the car and take a walk?"
Jiang Nianyan looked at her and nodded slightly.
She turned her head and looked out the car window, and nodded after a long time.
In fact, Yu Nian is afraid of the cold.
It is said that people from the north and south of the Yangtze River are actually the most afraid of the cold, because the uneducated southerners have no ability to withstand the cold, and because when the temperature drops in the north, the temperature inside the house is very high.
But Yu Nian is not resistant to freezing.
I always shiver when exposed to cold air.
The temperature in Beijing City dropped a while ago, so she prepared cashmere sweaters and other clothes early.
So Yu Nian was a little hesitant when he got off the car because he was afraid of the cold. But she didn't expect that as soon as she pushed the door out of the car, the temperature was quite mild, not as cold as she thought.
Jiang Nianyan stood next to her. Compared to her knee-length down jacket, he wore a gray cashmere coat and a scarf of the same color around his neck.
The next second the men's scarf was wrapped around Yu Nian's neck.
"I don't--"
"Wear it." Jiang Nianyan said and went to hold the umbrella.
"When it snows in the north, people don't hold umbrellas." Yu Nian said behind him.
Jiang Nianyan turned to look at her, "It's snowing a bit hard."
There is not much else to say.
Yu Nian looked around and saw that all passers-by were walking freely in the snow. She turned towards Jiang Nianyan and shook her head, "That's so stupid."
None of them were holding umbrellas, but the two of them were holding umbrellas, which seemed out of place.
Jiang Nianyan thought she could give some reason, but when she heard this, she felt helpless. He opened his umbrella and said calmly, "There is no need to care about what others think. What everyone is doing may not be right."
That's it, one umbrella, two people.
Although most people who return home at night don’t hold umbrellas, not many people pay attention to those who hold umbrellas.
Yu Nian listened to the sound of shoes hitting the snow, and his heart gradually calmed down.
Sure enough, some of the worries were unnecessary.
There are so many people in this world who don't care about you, but you are not that important.
Jiang Nianyan held an umbrella along the way. The umbrella was tilted towards her, and snow fell on one of his shoulders. The two of them walked slowly in the snow without speaking, and Lao Liu followed slowly in his car.
It cannot be said that the two of them did not attract attention at all. After all, their appearance is equally outstanding. What is important is that there is a limited edition luxury car behind them.
In the eyes of many young men and women, this is what kind of ideal becomes reality.
Passing through an alley, there is a big ball of heat and falling snow.
The alley is not very long, but if you stand at the entrance and look in, you can get a rough idea of it. There was a stall at the end, with a cloth tent erected on top to protect it from the snow. There were a few late-nighters eating around the stall. It was steaming. I don’t know what it was, but this scene was particularly rare and valuable on such a winter night.
Yu Nian stopped and looked inside.
"Want to eat?" Jiang Nianyan said lightly.
Yu Nian didn't want to eat, she just thought the scene in the alley looked quite warm.
Maybe the person sitting there eating can't help it, but at least at this moment, delicious food can bring happiness and make people forget the pain for a short time.
She wanted to nod.
But then I thought about it, Jiang Nianyan definitely disagreed, and what should I do? She was sitting there eating while he stood and watched?
Yu Nian said, "I don't want to."
When I raised my legs to leave, I heard Jiang Nianyan say, "If you want to eat, go and eat."
Yu Nian was startled and turned to look at him.
The sun comes out in the west?
"At worst, you can take medicine directly after eating. There are medicines in the car and in the company." Jiang Nianyan said.
Yu Nian opened his mouth, "Why...you put so much medicine in it?"
He has no gastrointestinal problems.
Jiang Nianyan didn't explain that much, he just said calmly, "If you want to eat, go there. There is no such shop after passing this village."
Five minutes later, Yu Nian sat in front of the stall.
It’s a Malatang stall, the most traditional kind of Malatang made with skewers cooked in a hot pot. The stall is not big, with only four large compartments in total. Various ingredients are skewered on bamboo skewers and placed in two rows. Look. In the past, the drills were arranged neatly.
Yu Nian only saw this kind of stall when he was very young, in elementary school. Later, Malatang moved into the store, and the dirty stalls became clean stalls.
But the feeling seems to be gone.
Jiang Nianyan sat next to Yu Nian, but did not stand, nor did he stay behind her as before.
Just stay with her.
Three minutes ago, Jiang Nian Banquet made a fortune-distributing boy and sent away the diners who were still at the stall.
The reason is not that there are no vacancies.
But after Yu Nian sat down, the bespectacled man across from him looked up at her from time to time, but when he came into contact with Jiang Nianyan's cold eyes, he was so frightened that he dropped his hammer into the pot without holding it steady, causing a string of oil stars to splash.
At the same time, Jiang Nianyan reached out to block You Xing and saved Yu Nian's clothes.
The bespectacled man apologized repeatedly. Maybe he was frightened by Jiang Nianyan's aura, or he ran away without eating anything after seeing the oil star splashing on Jiang Nianyan's hand.
Jiang Nianyan asked the stall owner to replace all the things in the pot where the bespectacled man had just dropped the skewer. The boss looked at Jiang Nianyan with incredible eyes and said, "It's just a skewer that fell off. If you don't think it's clean, just eat it." It’s from other pots.”
Yu Nian secretly tugged on Jiang Nianyan's clothes and shook his head at him.
As a boss with a small business, there are still a lot of boiled skewers in the pot. How can he just replace it with a new one?
Jiang Nianyan said, "The drill is stained with the other person's saliva. How can you ensure that the person does not have infectious diseases?"
As soon as these words came out, other diners who originally thought it was nothing could eat any more, and for a while they were in a dilemma while holding the toaster.
The boss was also embarrassed and said sincerely, "Sir, you look like a rich man who works in an office all year round. It's not easy for me to do this business. Yes, what you said makes sense, but at this point, you Let me change the pot to whom can I sell it to?"
So Jiang Nianyan paid for it.
Not only did he give money to the boss, he also gave it to several diners, with a clear intention to clear the place.
The diners are very happy to get the money. Just clear the place and you can still get the clearance fee.
The boss is also happy.
Jiang Nianyan spent a lot of money. Not to mention changing the pot and ingredients, he just asked him to buy a new set of equipment immediately. As long as the money was available, he would do it.
And it is much easier to take care of two people than to take care of several people.
The Jiangnian Banquet didn't keep him busy, he just did whatever he had to do when the ingredients were put in.
The boss is also a discerning person. He sat back on his chair, took out his mobile phone and started listening to a midnight novel, like a horror novel. Although the volume was quite low, he could occasionally hear surprising sounds.
Although it looks like a shed, because the pot is steaming, the boss set up a camping stove, which is still burning wood. The stove is burning quite brightly, and it doesn't feel cold at all when I'm in the stall. .
The winter snow fell quietly outside the shed, and for a moment, I felt like the tranquility of the years had passed.
Yu Nian said to Jiang Nianyan, "You are also a person who has suffered hardship. Why don't you understand the suffering in the world now?"
"I can understand the suffering in the world, but I can't stand the lack of hygiene." Jiang Nianyan put a bunch of cooked noodles on the plate in front of Yu Nian. He didn't like things like vermicelli and always felt like eating them was in his mouth. Slimy and uncomfortable.
In fact, Yu Nian didn't particularly like or dislike food in a place like this. She liked to eat them all.
After hearing what Yan Jiang said about the New Year's Banquet, she said, "Don't forget that you were dirty when you first arrived at the Yu family."
It means intentional.
Yu Nian has evil fire tonight.
But she made a mistake.
Not only was Jiang Nianyan not annoyed, he also told her the truth very rationally, "I was just tanned at the time, and it had nothing to do with being dirty."
