Yuanye's gossip mentality was successfully aroused by this sentence: "She has someone she likes? How did you know?"
Xu Siyan: "A little unexpected."
Yuanye: "Who does she like? Do we know each other?"
He stopped and suddenly patted his forehead, "Fuck, she doesn't like Fourth Brother, does she? She would sacrifice herself in order to fulfill Fourth Brother's happiness..."
"Are you sick?" Xu Siyan raised his eyelids and looked at Yuanye, his facial features showing disgust. I don't know how he could make up his mind to this level.
Yuan Ye: "There's nothing wrong with my guess, otherwise why would she have to cooperate with the fourth brother? It wouldn't be easy for her to find a rich young man to marry. I heard that the one from the Jiang family is attracted to her. "
Xu Siyan: "Because the Jiang family cannot let her completely break away from the Ruan family."
Yuan Ye: "Tsk, okay. Anyway, I still believe in my theory. Ruan Yi has been studying in our school for four years. Maybe he started to have a crush on the fourth brother from that time! At that time, the girls in the school liked him. A lot of it.”
Xu Siyan: "..."
He was really not interested in Ruan Yi's related topics, "Let's get down to business, what do you want from me?"
——
After his birthday night, Ruan Yi once again cut off contact with Xu Siyan.
Although they have been in a state of periodic loss of contact since they got married, Ruan Yi knew very well that this time was different from before.
She no longer had any delusions, put away all her emotions, and became a quiet and transparent person, not disturbing his life.
Ruan Yi took all the butterfly specimens that were not sent out to his old house in Liang'an District 3, and locked them in a drawer together with the diaries from those years, and disappeared.
Autumn in Beicheng is fleeting. In late December, the temperature gets lower day by day, and finally the first snow of winter arrives on Christmas Eve.
On the afternoon of Christmas Eve, Ruan Yi happened to have several classes.
After finishing the class, Ruan Yi received apples and candies given to her by students, as well as good news from the department head - her paper will be published in a journal in January and has passed the review.
For Ruan Yi, this is the greatest good news.
With the thesis in hand, she can concentrate on evaluating professional titles next year.
Ruan Yi walked to the office window and looked at the snow on the campus, showing a rare relaxed smile.
It was at this time that Jiang Wan's call came.
Ruan Yi was a little surprised when she saw Jiang Wan's call. She and Jiang Wan had not contacted each other since they separated in a hurry last time. She could occasionally browse Jiang Wan's Moments. When she saw him catching butterflies everywhere, Ruan Yi would click on them. Thumbs up.
Although Jiang Wan said last time that he would come to Beicheng to find her again, Ruan Yi didn't take it to heart.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Wan actually came to her: "Hey, do you remember who I am?"
Jiang Wan's voice had a strong juvenile feel to it, relaxed and brisk, and it was easy to be disturbed when talking to him.
Ruan Yi's tone unconsciously relaxed: "Remember, I have saved your number."
Jiang Wan: "Then you should also remember that you acted as my tour guide and invited me to dinner, right?"
Ruan Yi: "Of course."
Jiang Wan: "Well, come on, I'm near the university town."
Ruan Yi: "...so close?"
Jiang Wan: "Is it close? What a coincidence. I heard from my friends that the food here is much better."
Ruan Yi: "Well, there are quite a lot. Then find a shop and sit down and wait for me. I'll be there soon."
After talking to Jiang Wan on the phone, Ruan Yi packed up his things and went to find him.
Jiang Wan chose a milk tea shop and sat down. Twenty minutes had passed when Ruan Yi found him.
Jiang Wan handed Ruan Yi a cup of hot milk tea and looked her up and down: "How is your injury?"
Ruan Yi took the milk tea and said "Thank you", "It's ready."
Jiang Wan: "Is your friend very touched to receive your gift?"
Ruan Yi: "...should be."
Jiang Wan: "What do you mean should? Didn't he express his gratitude? Is your friend okay?"
Jiang Wang had no other meaning in saying this, but it still inevitably reminded Ruan Yi of Xu Siyan.
It had been a while since she'd thought of him.
Ruan Yi drank milk tea and calmly changed the subject: "When did you come to Beicheng?"
Jiang Wan: "I came here yesterday afternoon. I didn't expect that it would snow today just after I came here. It's so beautiful."
He looked out the window.
Jiang Wang usually lives in the south and has few opportunities to see snow. Ruan Yi can clearly hear the unique excitement of southerners from his mouth.
Ruan Yi: "Where do you want to go? Let me recommend a place to you."
Jiang Wan: "I want to go have a snowball fight. What do you think?"
Ruan Yi: "..."
Jiang Wan: "You don't like it?"
Ruan Yi: "It's not that I don't like it, but I'm not suitable for playing this at my age."
Jiang Wan burst out laughing: "How old are you? You are only in your mid-twenties, you are very young."
——
Although he declined in every possible way, Ruan Yi was finally dragged to the snowball fight by Jiang Wan.
They had dinner in the university town and went to play in a nearby park, where there happened to be a group of very young children.
Jiang Wan easily got along with them, and Ruan Yi played along for a while and got into the mood.
Ruan Yi has not been a noisy person since she was a child. She rarely participates in such physical activities and spends most of her time studying and practicing piano at home.
After playing with Jiang Wan and these children for more than an hour, Ruan Yi was so tired that he was almost sweating.
But the mood is very relaxed.
She hadn't been this happy in a long time.
Jiang Wan put on his clothes, patted the snow, walked to Ruan Yi and asked her, "How are you doing? Does it feel good?"
Ruan Yi: "Well, relax."
Jiang Wan: "So you also know that you are under great pressure."
Ruan Yi: "Huh?"
Jiang Wan: "When we first met, I felt that you were a very tight person and couldn't let go."
Ruan Yi was stunned for a few seconds, but he didn't expect Jiang Wan to be able to see through her at a glance: "Then you are quite good at reading people."
Jiang Wan: "As a human being, you only need to live this once. Don't embarrass yourself too much."
Ruan Yi: "Well, you are right."
Jiang Wan: "I heard there is a fireworks show in the suburbs in the early morning. Do you want to go watch it together?"
Ruan Yi's first thought after hearing this question was to refuse.
Because she rarely stayed out at night since she was a child.
But then I thought of Jiang Wan’s words——
That's right, she doesn't need to embarrass herself like this.
Anyway, she was the only one in Qingjiang Garden.
After hesitating for a moment, Ruan Yi nodded under Jiang Wan's gaze.
——
Jiang Wan stayed in Beicheng for a week, and Ruan Yi played with him for a day and night. When Jiang Wan left, he gave her a refrigerator magnet made of butterfly specimens, which he made himself.
Ruan Yi didn't want to accept his gift, but it was not expensive and was made by Jiang Wang himself, so she accepted it.
She put the refrigerator magnet on the cabinet door, which looked pretty good.
After Jiang Wang left, more than a week passed before the Spring Festival.
This is the second Spring Festival celebrated by Ruan Yi and Xu Siyan after they got married.
After Ruan Yi and Wan Liu talked about it, Wan Liu no longer asked Ruan Yi and Xu Siyan to go home together during the Spring Festival this year.
This time, they met after returning to Xu's house.
