Chapter 8 Chapter 8 Something went bad between them
After Ruolin left the restaurant, Mu Jingyan was still sitting on the window seat on the second floor of the restaurant. He could clearly see Ruolin walking towards Han Haoxuan's car. In the last kiss, the two looked very well-matched and sweet.
Although a little sad, Mu Jingyan already planned to let this secret love of his go away with the wind.Who said that there is a kind of love called letting go.If the person he loves can be happy, why doesn't he smile and bless it?
He took out the unsent gift from his carry-on bag—a small transparent glass bottle.
There are some exquisitely folded origami cranes in the glass bottle. The paper used to fold the origami cranes is clean and generous, and the strong handwriting can be vaguely seen on the two wings of the origami cranes.
Mu Jingyan still remembers that in the third year of high school, for a while, Ruolin seemed to be very keen on folding paper cranes.He noticed that she didn't go out to play after class, she was buried in her head alone, looking extremely focused.
At that time, he thought that she must be very fond of origami cranes because she is so serious about origami cranes in such intense study day after day.
Later, he paid attention to whether there were any broken ones around him.There was an idea in his mind, and he wanted to learn it too, but after all, he didn't see other students fold that thing.
Now, he found the folding method from the Internet, and bought the special paper for folding thousand origami cranes. Then, he practiced repeatedly. come again.
He was about to give up. He felt that his hands were too clumsy, why he couldn't fold well, and he was a little discouraged.Fortunately, among the N folds, there was finally one that looked decent, which gave him a lot of confidence.After that, I became more and more proficient, and the stacking became better and better. However, this took more time.
Now, he couldn't help wondering, was she origami cranes just because of her hobby?Such a huge project that wasted time, but she was willing to spend energy on it, which made him unbelievable.
Mu Jingyan gently turned the transparent glass bottle in his hand, his eyes were deep and dark, like an endless night.
The glass bottle stopped after being turned a few times, and Mu Jingyan stared blankly at the thousand paper cranes in the bottle. At that time, those plain colors seemed to have become extra pale, making his eyes a little blurred.The silent Thousand Paper Cranes crouched in the bottle, losing their vitality one by one, as if their wings had been broken.
A layer of deep sadness flashed in Mu Jingyan's eyes, filling his eyes.
From then on, will the deeply buried love never take off again?From then on, he was just a spectator in her life, that's all?
Although she became Han Haoxuan's girlfriend, Ruolin worked harder than before to make money. Xin Yu said she was stupid, no one would work so hard after finding a rich boyfriend. Ruo Lin always shook her head stubbornly: "I don't want to use any of his money." "Don't make yourself work too hard, my money is really not urgent at all." Xin Yu said. "Even if I'm not in a hurry to pay you back, I still have to save money to pay back Mu Jingyan. Besides, even if he's not in a hurry to use the money like you, I have a lot of expenses every month! Mom still needs to take medicine to consolidate Physically, my younger sister will go to university next year, and the tuition fee is high. Well, it would be great if money could drop from the sky.” "To be honest, if you need money, don't worry about owing me money before, you can still borrow it from me now." "You are about to get married, so you may not have the final say in the future, right?" "That's not true! Even if I get married, I still hold the financial power." "By the way, when are you going to get married?" Ruo Lin has been wondering why Xin Yu said she and Shen Yang were going to get married, but there was no action. "Hehe, Shen Yang still has a lot of things to deal with, and the matter of marriage is on hold for now." Every time when it comes to marriage, Xin Yu is always evasive. "Oh, that's it." It's not easy for Ruo Lin to ask the bottom line about marriage, because every family has a difficult scripture to recite.Just like she and Han Haoxuan, although they live together, they always feel that there are many twists and turns and the wedding date is far away.
In fact, Han Haoxuan's mother, Xu Ling, came to Ruolin again after the quarrel, and went directly to her unit to find her.This time Xu Ling's attitude was much better, but he didn't come to apologize or agree to her being with Han Haoxuan, but after tactfully persuading Ruo Lin, he took out an envelope and put it in front of Ruo Lin: "I know your family is in trouble, Need money, here are some cash and checks, a total of 100,000 yuan, enough for you and your family to live for a while. As long as you leave Haoxuan, these will belong to you." "Please take it back." Ruolin said word by word. "Is it too little?" Xu Ling asked with a frown. "It has nothing to do with the amount of money. I only know that love cannot be measured by money. I am with Han Haoxuan, not for money. You can ask your son if I have used his money since we were together. " Ruolin said loudly. "Then how can you let go of Haoxuan?" "It's still the same sentence, unless he voluntarily gives up on me." "Yes, he will get tired of you one day, and he will never marry you! Do you know? You are just a substitute for his ex-girlfriend." Xu Ling felt a little familiar when he first met Ruolin, and now The more I look at her, the more I feel that she looks like Anxi.An Qian's family background is also average, but the child has always been proud and arrogant. At that time, Xu Ling considered his son's future and did not want his son to fall in love prematurely. An Xi was fighting for a chance to study abroad, so Xu Ling approached An Xi secretly and promised to help her find a relationship and send her to study abroad, the only condition was to break up with Han Haoxuan.After hesitating for a long time, the girl took the initiative to call her and agreed to break up. Xu Ling originally thought that Ruolin was no different from Anxi, as long as she was dismissed with something, she could leave Han Haoxuan.Moreover, compared with Anxi, Ruolin's conditions are even worse, so she thinks that Ruolin has no reason to refuse her money.Unexpectedly, this trick didn't work in front of Ruo Lin, and she was rejected. However, Xu Ling is someone who has been there after all. Not only does he look the same as before, he is not panicked at all, and he even knows how to play hard to get.Since Ruolin is not interested in material things, let her give up emotionally. "How do you say that?" Ruo Lin was puzzled. "This is the photo of Haoxuan's former girlfriend, An Qian. Let's see if you two look alike." Xu Ling calmly took out a photo and handed it to Ruo Lin. The woman in the photo is smiling like a flower, and her eyebrows and eyes are really similar to Ruolin. "What does that mean?" Ruo Lin returned the photo to Xu Ling and said calmly. "This is Haoxuan's favorite girl. They have been in love for three years. After she left Haoxuan, Haoxuan has always chosen to be single, because Haoxuan has always loved her. Now Haoxuan chooses to be with you, that is Because Haoxuan is trying to treat you as her. Do you understand when I say that?" Xu Ling didn't believe that Ruolin could remain calm after hearing these words. However, Ruolin's self-control is still beyond Xu Ling's imagination. Ruolin smiled and said to her, "So what if I look alike? At least Haoxuan loves me now." Xu Ling was completely defeated by Ruolin, she felt that she had never met such a thick-skinned person, and finally left behind a sentence of "You are ruthless" and walked away. In fact, after Xu Ling left, Ruolin didn't have the attitude of a winner. Instead, she was thinking about Xu Ling's sentence "You are just a substitute for his ex-girlfriend". Although she was puzzled, she still decided not to ask Han Haoxuan.Because, if what Xu Ling said was true, then she had to leave Han Haoxuan now, and she didn't want to be someone else's substitute.But she loves him so much, wants to stay with him so much, and misses every day they spend together so much. So, she decided to choose to forget, as if Xu Ling never came to her.
For the sake of Ruolin's health, Han Haoxuan didn't let her work in a restaurant, and didn't let her be a tutor. As a result, Ruolin was struggling recently, and had no choice but to borrow another five thousand yuan from Xinyu. However, fortunately, she later found that she could have another part-time job that Han Haoxuan could not stop: a journal writer.Because writing manuscripts seems quite leisurely, and Ruolin has always said that writing articles is her greatest hobby. She accidentally wrote a short story and submitted it to an emotional journal. She didn't hold out hope, but she didn't expect to receive a notice in the mailbox that "the manuscript has been approved and will be published soon". After that, she received a manuscript fee of 600 yuan.So she started writing for journals in her spare time.
After dinner every day, Ruolin would sit in front of the computer and play word games happily, and Han Haoxuan would sometimes come over to make trouble: "What are you writing? It's not about writing my embarrassing things to sell for money, is it?" ?” "You interrupted my idea, it's too tasteless." "This is called no product." Han Haoxuan directly carried Ruo Lin from the computer desk to the bed, and then made a gesture to throw her down. "Han Haoxuan, you're going too far!" Ruo Lin yelled. "You are too much! You should belong to me when you go home, but in the end it was all taken over by a broken computer." "You can't be jealous of a computer, are you?" Ruolin couldn't help laughing. "So what? You have to spend more time with me, or be careful that I do harm to your computer!" "You dare! If you interrupt my writing like this again, I will move out of here. Writing needs to be quiet." Faced with Han Haoxuan's childish overbearing, Ruolin had no choice but to say this. This trick was quite effective for Han Haoxuan: "Okay, great writer, go write something, I'll stay on the empty bed alone." It was pitiful. "I'll accompany you when I'm done writing." Ruo Lin got off the bed and went to the computer desk to continue typing. "It was early morning when you finished writing, and I fell asleep. Sigh... can you stop being so brave? I'll pay back the money you owed Mu Jingyan and Xin Yu, right? Why bother working so hard every day? How about making money with code words? We don’t even have time for sex now. Do the math yourself, how long has it been since we exercised in bed?” Han Haoxuan complained on the bed. "It hasn't been long, it wasn't just last week... By the way, Han Haoxuan, why didn't you find out that you have a flamboyant guts before? Think about something serious, for example, how should your company grow and grow? Young People, you have to be a little self-motivated." "I hope you don't have to work so hard right now, and marry you into the family as soon as possible. This is the serious thing for me." Han Haoxuan said truthfully. Hearing Han Haoxuan's words, Ruo Lin's smile suddenly froze on her face, and she remembered what Xu Ling said to her: "He will get tired of you one day, and he will never marry you!" "Hao Xuan, has the relationship between you and your parents eased up?" Ruo Lin asked casually. "It's okay." Han Haoxuan seemed reluctant to bring up this topic, "Don't worry, if they really don't agree with us being together, we can simply cook rice and you will conceive my child, okay?" , Han Haoxuan had already come behind Ruo Lin, hugging her shoulder lightly. "No, that's not good, it's just a stopgap measure. If your parents don't accept me, then they will only think that I deliberately got pregnant to coerce you to marry me. I don't want your parents to see me like this." If Lin quickly rejected Han Haoxuan's idea. "Alright, alright, I'll persuade them." Han Haoxuan hugged Ruolin even tighter. Ruo Lin's mood suddenly became heavier than ever before, she always felt that the future between herself and Han Haoxuan seemed to be full of fog.
One morning a few days later, Fang Qiang, the editor-in-chief, called Ruolin into the office. He first affirmed her recent work achievements and serious work attitude, and then told her that she decided to change "Fang Ling has an appointment" to "Ruolin has an appointment" , she doesn't need to be a process editor in the future, she will directly work on the column "Ruolin has an appointment", and will be promoted to the director of the editorial department, with a monthly salary increase of 1,000 yuan. Ruolin naturally couldn't believe it at first, she said to Xin Yu before, "I hope the money will drop from the sky", did God hear her heart? However, she also has doubts. If "Fang Ling has an appointment" is changed to "Ruolin has an appointment", what will Fang Ling do? Fang Qiang said that Fang Ling had been arranged to do another column, and Ruolin felt relieved.
After leaving the editor-in-chief's office, Ruolin ran to the bathroom to wash her face, because just now she felt that the sockets of her eyes were moist, and she didn't want her colleagues to see her expression. In fact, it can't be called crying with joy, but I suddenly feel a little emotional. She has been working hard for so long, and now she has finally paid off for her hard work. She took out her mobile phone and sent a message to the two major creditors, Xin Yu and Mu Jingyan: "I got promoted and made a fortune. If you are free after get off work, I will treat you to dinner." She originally thought that it would be nice if one of them was free, after all, Xin Yu is also in love now!Who knew that in just a few seconds, she received replies from two people almost at the same time. "You don't know that I don't refuse anyone who comes to me recently, do you? Of course you have to accept the food delivered to your door. Quickly set the time and place, and then wait to be exploited. Hehehe..." This is Xin Yu's text message, and the last A few times I really laughed too much! "Okay, congratulations, send me a text message after confirming the time and place, I don't need to work overtime today." Mu Jingyan's reply, just like his people, is always lukewarm. Ruolin originally wanted to tell Xin Yu that she didn't mind bringing her family, but she thought that if Xin Yu brought her family, it would be inappropriate for her not to bring her family, but it would be even more inappropriate to bring her family, so she simply didn't mention the family.
Han Haoxuan happened to have a social event tonight and said he would go home later, Ruolin took pleasure in it instead, and finally escaped from the clutches of this domineering man for once.She's not married yet, so why does Ruolin feel that Han Haoxuan's love is too heavy?Don't think about it anymore, the future is too far away, let's talk about marriage, I haven't written a word yet! Considering that Xinyu is a wheat bully, and Ruolin hasn't relaxed for a long time, she decided to go to a certain KTV, where she could treat her to dinner and sing to relieve stress, but in KTV, most of the time she was a competent audience. Speaking of KTV, Xin Yu's eyes really shined, and she immediately replied to the text message: "OH, YE! Long live!" In the KTV box, Xin Yu was singing Mayday's "Stubborn", and when she sang the climax, her voice was surprisingly excited. Ruo Lin sat on the sofa and concentrated on eating, so that she would have the strength to sing later! Mu Jingyan ate and listened to Xin Yu's singing, and then occasionally laughed out loud. It wasn't that Xin Yu sang badly, but that she also sang the songs of male singers with such devotion. That devotion made him I feel a little funny. Mu Jingyan turned his head inadvertently, just in time to see a grain of rice sticking to Ruo Lin's mouth, he pointed to his mouth and kindly reminded her: "You have a grain of rice near your mouth." Helplessly, the climax of "Stubborn" is being repeated, and Xin Yu's voice is so loud that Ruolin can't hear it at all, so she asked stupidly, "What?" Mu Jingyan reached out and gently took the rice away from Ruo Lin's mouth. Only then did Ruo Lin realize what was going on, and gave Mu Jingyan a smirk. "In fact, I have always liked you." Mu Jingyan whispered.He would like to thank Xin Yu for singing this slightly rock song, so that Ruo Lin couldn't hear him when he confessed his love, and he could finally confess his love to the girl he had a crush on. "What are you talking about? Can you speak louder, I can't hear you." Ruo Lin only saw Mu Jingyan's mouth opening and closing, but couldn't hear what he was saying. "I said, you look cute while eating." Mu Jingyan raised his voice a few decibels this time. "Oh, I thought you said I looked funny when I ate!"
At this moment, after Xin Yu's "Stubbornness" had finished, Ruolin and Mu Jingyan were looking at each other, chatting happily, without even giving her a round of applause. "Hey, you two, this is not a coffee shop, not a place to drink tea and chat. It costs hundreds of dollars an hour. Hurry up and make the most of what you have and go sing!" Xin Yu stepped down from the stage and encouraged them to sing on stage. "I can't sing well." Ruo Lin declined. "This is not a singing competition. It doesn't matter if you don't sing well." "Amu, you can sing first." Ruo Lin asked Mu Jingyan for help. "I'm not very good at singing either." Mu Jingyan also showed embarrassment. "Oh, I've never seen the two of you disappointing like this. Otherwise, let's pack the hammer and whoever loses will sing. Otherwise, it will make me feel like I am having a solo concert. How boring!" Seeing Xin Yu's insistence, Ruolin and Mu Jingyan couldn't refuse anymore, so they had to agree. In the end, Xin Yu hit Bu, while Ruo Lin and Mu Jingyan's punches at the same time ended in failure, so they had to bet and admit defeat. "The two of you actually take the joy of singing as a burden. Well, I won't embarrass you anymore. Just let the two of you sing a song together." Xin Yu enthusiastically went to order songs for the two of them while talking What turned out to be the duet song "A Little Tempted" by Zhang Xinzhe and Carina Lau. "Hey, this is the only song I can sing between men and women, how do you know?" Mu Jingyan said in disbelief. "Really? What a coincidence, it seems that Ruo Lin can only sing such a love song." Xin Yu looked at Ruo Lin. Jolene nodded dully.
When the melodious prelude sounded, Ruolin seemed to have a feeling of going back in time. It was really a long time since I heard this song. When this song became popular, it was the best time in her youth. She always felt that she was tone deaf and rarely sang in public, so she hummed this song silently in her heart, humming it countless times, The object of humming is Mu Jingyan. How did she ever think that Mu Jingyan, the boy she was thinking of at that time, would sing this song with her?
"You and I, men and women, can't escape love; whoever is willing, has the courage, and gives his heart regardless of everything." As soon as Mu Jingyan sang the first line, Xin Yu began to applaud: "Student Mu, you really don't show your face! You sing so well, but you humbly say that you can't sing, and I will punish you for drinking later!" "You are talking about not only you, but also myself. Should we continue, should we have memories, let love come closer step by step?" upset. "I'm a little bit tempted by you, but I'm so afraid to look into your eyes, I'm so a little bit tempted and a little bit hesitant, I can't believe I can't help it." "I'm a little bit tempted by you. I don't know whether the result is sadness or joy. I'm a little bit tempted, a little bit hesitant. I'm afraid that I'll lose it after I've loved you..." With the soothing and melodious melody and the affectionate singing voice, Mu Jingyan felt that he was about to be intoxicated.
At the end of the song, Xin Yu yelled: "Mu Jingyan, don't bring such a bully, who sings so well but says he can't sing, aren't you a bully? Drink and drink." Filled his wine glass, "It must be done!" Mu Jingyan took the wine glass and drank it down without saying a word. "Ah, refreshing enough, do you want another glass?" Xin Yu took the wine bottle and wanted to fill it up for Mu Jingyan again. "Xin Yu, Ah Mu will be driving later, let him drink less." Ruolin remembered that Mu Jingyan came here in the company's car this time, and quickly pressed Xin Yu's hand. "When he's drunk, I'll take him home later, right? You don't need me to worry about it now, you just ask Han Haoxuan to pick you up." Xin Yu said calmly. "He has something to do today, I will take a taxi by myself then." "The man has something to do at night? Be careful!" Xin Yu whispered in Ruo Lin's ear. "As long as you like to think wildly, that's serious business." Ruo Lin gave Xin Yu an angry look. "Just kidding, why take it seriously?"
"What are you guys talking about? Are you whispering something secret?" Mu Jingyan leaned over and asked. "Women's concerns, men, don't guess." Xin Yu made a "go aside" gesture. "It's still quite mysterious." Mu Jingyan smiled awkwardly. "Chen Maiba, go and sing, don't you like singing "One Night in Beijing" the most?" Ruo Lin didn't want Xin Yu to focus on Han Haoxuan, so she quickly changed the subject. "That's right, "One Night in Beijing" is a must-play song for me every time I come to KTV. I want to let you all know what is meant by 'time man and time woman'." When it comes to singing, Xin Yu's energy comes, so hurry up and order it Song, jump on stage. Xin Yu first sang the female part with her throat squeezed, and then let go of her voice to yell at the male part. Her singing combined with her exaggerated expression made Ruolin and Mu Jingyan amused.
On the way, Ruolin planned to go to the bathroom. The toilet in this KTV was very difficult to find. Ruolin asked a few waiters and turned several corridors before finally seeing the sign for the toilet. Ruolin followed the signs and walked along the long corridor to the bathroom.
On the side of the corridor near the bathroom is a relatively hidden aisle. Under the dim light, there is a couple embracing each other, kissing inseparably. I don't know what attracted Ruolin, and made her take a second look.It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, she was startled when she saw it. Who else could that tall, handsome man be, Han Haoxuan? Ruo Lin froze in place, almost unable to breathe.Han Haoxuan actually kissed another woman in front of her? ! She thought it was a dream, so she squeezed her arm as usual - it hurts, it really hurts! She suddenly remembered what Xin Yu said in her ear just now: "What's the man doing at night? Be careful!" Then she couldn't help feeling how ironic the scene before her was.
The woman's hands were tightly clung to Han Haoxuan's neck like vines, and Han Haoxuan's hand was wrapped around her waist. The two kissed in that hidden corner and forgot everything, as if they were the only ones left in the world. both.Neither of them noticed Ruolin's existence. Ruolin also thought about stepping forward to pull away the pair of men and women who were entangled to death, but she still told herself to be calm, she always believed in Han Haoxuan, he said it was for entertainment, maybe it was a "beauty trick" deliberately set up by him for work Bar? Ruolin tiptoed into the bathroom, and looked at the couple through the door of the bathroom.She didn't mean to peep, nor did she mean to eavesdrop, but curiosity still drove her to do so.
"Haoxuan, I love you so much, I miss you so much, I really miss you so much! These years, I often think about you so much that I can't sleep." The lines that are more shocking than Aunt Qiong Yao's TV series come from the mouth of the voyeuristic heroine slipped. "Don't be like this, like a child." Han Haoxuan's lines were relatively better, "But, since you love me, why did you leave me in the first place?!" Asking almost hoarsely, Han Haoxuan seemed to have returned to the roaring leader. "Because of your mother..." The heroine's voice was a little choked up, and crystal tears were about to come out of her eyes, "Your mother once looked for me and forced me to leave you." Then Han Haoxuan let out a long sigh, and hugged the heroine in his arms distressedly.
Ruolin has already guessed the identity of the heroine, she must be Han Haoxuan's ex-girlfriend, right?She was the woman who abandoned Han Haoxuan for the opportunity to study abroad, right? But hasn't she gone abroad?Why are you back home?Could it be that he came here specifically to find his first boyfriend?Isn't this the beginning of a story that popular romance novels are best at?Lovers who reunited after a long absence still can't forget each other after being separated for many years, and then staged a touching story that moved people to tears.In the past, Ruolin was moved when she read these books, but she never imagined that she was not destined to become the heroine in the novel. She seemed to be a third-party character commonly used in novels, at most a supporting actress. Ruolin thought of a book that said that men always think that their first love girlfriend is the best woman in the world, and men like to regard "what you can't get is always the best" as a wise saying. Is there no competition at all in front of you? "Did you know? You are just a stand-in for his former girlfriend." Xu Ling's words sounded in Ruolin's mind without any warning at this moment, like a bomb, blowing Ruolin's heart apart. Ruolin leaned over, trying to see the woman's appearance clearly, but the lights were too dim, and her back was almost turned to Ruolin, so she couldn't see her face clearly at all, only she had straight hair like a waterfall. Hair, wearing a tight skirt, slender legs exposed. "Little boy, the wind won't freeze you to death later!" Ruo Lin cursed in her heart.
When Ruolin came out of the bathroom, the hero and heroine who performed the kissing scene had disappeared, and the corridor was silent, as if nothing had happened just now. Ruo Lin didn't know how she walked back to the box, she felt like she suddenly lost her soul, and her steps were also very vain. In the box, Xinyu was still "holding a solo concert", and Mu Jingyan was sitting on the sofa, turning the wine glass in his hand, looking a bit bored. Seeing Ruolin walking in with a dazed expression, Mu Jingyan asked, "Are you okay? Why do you look unhappy?" "It's okay, let me lean on your shoulder, okay?" Ruo Lin sat down beside Mu Jingyan, and leaned her head on his shoulder without waiting for his consent. Mu Jingyan felt that Ruolin was a little abnormal, but she said it was fine, so he didn't want to ask any more questions.So, he stretched out his hand and embraced Ruo Lin's slender shoulders like a brother who was in trouble. Suddenly, Mu Jingyan felt something wet dripping on his neck, one drop, two drops, three drops... "Are you crying?" Mu Jingyan asked softly, "What's wrong with you? Tell me, maybe I can help you share the burden." "It's nothing, I'm just sad, and my heart hurts like it's about to tear." Yeah, what feeling is more uncomfortable than being cheated?If it was true what Han Haoxuan's mother said, she was just a stand-in for Han Haoxuan's ex-girlfriend, she would never forgive Han Haoxuan, absolutely not! "I'm in a much better mood, thank you." Ruo Lin wiped away her tears, raised her head, and left Mu Jingyan's shoulder, pretending that nothing happened, and said with a smile. No matter how hard it is, she can still smile. What happened just now?Ruo Lin comforted herself in her heart.
"Ruo Lin, who is bullying you? Tell me, I will definitely make it easier for him!" Xin Yu also found that something was wrong after Ruo Lin came back, and immediately said while patting her chest. "With a friend like you who is easy to fight against injustices, who would dare to bully me? Don't you think so, Amu?" Ruo Lin laughed.Xinyu is still the same Xinyu, every time Ruolin is upset, she will always stand up. Ruo Lin's nose suddenly felt a little sour again, not because of Han Haoxuan, but because she had a good friend like Xin Yu. At the same time, Ruolin felt rejoiced that Xinyu had already broken up with Han Haoxuan, otherwise the sad person should be replaced by Xinyu, right?
After the performance, Mu Jingyan wanted to send Ruolin back, but Xin Yu said that he could not drink and drive, and insisted that Mu Jingyan take a taxi back and let her take Ruolin back. "No need, I can take a taxi by myself." Ruolin declined both of their kindness.She actually didn't really want to go back to Han Haoxuan's place tonight, but she had to go and listen to his explanation, otherwise she would really stay up all night. Xinyu suddenly realizes that the home Ruolin wants to return to is Han Haoxuan's home, and she doesn't want to see that person, that person will only bring back her sad memories.So, she stopped insisting, but stretched out her hand to help Ruolin hail a taxi: "Then I'll take Mu Jingyan home, and you go home by yourself, and send me a text message to let me know when you get home." "Okay, I'm not a three-year-old child anymore, so I won't get lost. Let's go, goodbye." Ruo Lin got into the car and waved goodbye to Mu Jingyan and Xin Yu.
It wasn't until the taxi carrying Ruolin completely disappeared from sight that Mu Jingyan came back to his senses. "Hey, why are you in a daze? Get in the car." Xin Yu had already driven the car from the parking lot and parked beside Mu Jingyan. "Student Mu, do you mind if I ask you a question?" After getting in the car, Xin Yu started her private interview time. "what?" "Do you like Ruolin?" Mu Jingyan looked at Ruolin's eyes, and Xin Yu felt that he should like Ruolin. "No." Mu Jingyan denied it without even thinking about it.Ruolin already has a boyfriend now, so what if he likes her?Just don't admit it. "You're lying! It's not shameful to like someone, why not admit it? I dare to tell you that the person I like is Han Haoxuan." Xin Yu said openly. "Ah?" Mu Jingyan was startled when he heard the words, "Isn't your boyfriend Shen Yang?" "That's a deceiving illusion. In fact, I don't have any boyfriend at all. Shen Yang is my good buddy. I asked him to accompany me in this scene, that's all." "Why did you do this?" Mu Jingyan was very puzzled by this. "Because it's better for one person to be hurt than for two people to be hurt. I just want Ruolin to fall in love without any scruples. You know, she always likes to restrain herself, especially in terms of feelings. She had a crush on you before, She never told you, did she?" "What? Ruolin, has she ever had a crush on me?" Mu Jingyan was shocked again. "Yeah. Why are you two so late? But you two are really... How should I put it? Let's put it in a cliché, you two don't always meet each other at the right time, she When you had a crush on you, you didn't care about her, but when she fell in love with someone else, you started to have a crush on her. Love is really interesting sometimes, isn't it?" Xin Yu was deeply moved. Love is not fun, but cruel. No wonder Zhang Ailing's words will become a classic: When you meet the person you meet among thousands of people, in the thousands of years, in the boundless wilderness of time, without one step earlier, He was not too late, and happened to catch up, so he had nothing else to say, but asked softly: "Oh, are you here too?" But Mu Jingyan and Ruo Lin were either early or late, the two missed it after all. Mu Jingyan sighed secretly in his heart.
"A person who truly loves someone will be willing to let go, right? As long as she can be happy, she will be willing to let go. So since the past is gone, what's the point of mentioning it. Now even if I tell Ruolin that I like her, I will become her. Burden." Mu Jingyan said. "That's right. I've also seen it now. Loving someone is not possessing, not getting, but enjoying the feeling of loving someone. However, if... I mean, if, if Ruolin's life is not good in the future If you were happy, would you work hard to win her over?" Xin Yu asked. "Why not?" Mu Jingyan asked back. "That's right! You are a good man worthy of love! Ruolin really has a crush on you for so many years!" Xin Yu gave Mu Jingyan a thumbs up. "Ruo Lin is a bit unusual today, do you suspect that she is not happy now? Could it be that Han Haoxuan treats her badly?" Mu Jingyan thought of Ruo Lin's tears. "Although I have been with Han Haoxuan for a while, we got along very politely at that time, not like a man and woman in love at all. However, as far as I know him, I think he is an indecisive person. The person he likes is obviously It was Ruolin, but she was able to hide her in my heart and associate with me. Although I liked him, I was very dissatisfied with his behavior. In the end, I broke up with him on my own initiative, and he broke up with me. I haven't even mentioned the breakup. Can you men really do two things at once?" Xin Yu's tone suddenly became a little sad. "Don't beat a man to death with a stick, I'm a dedicated man by your side." "Yes, you are the best! Let me yell a slogan, if you want to find a man, you must find someone like Mu Jingyan!" "Exaggerate you." Mu Jingyan smiled, "Has anyone ever told you that you are a pistachio?" "Yes, didn't you just say that?" Mu Jingyan laughed loudly: "You are very good at talking!" "Just kidding, if a teacher doesn't know how to joke, isn't it misleading his children? By the way, Mu Jingyan, if two years later, you don't have a date, and I don't have a date, or we can make do, okay?" Xin Yu There is no shyness in saying this. "Why do you have such an idea?" Mu Jingyan felt that Xin Yu's idea was bold enough. "Because since I broke up with Han Haoxuan, I have started a long blind date journey. In order to save me from the dire straits of the blind date, you have to do the same. And, didn't you say it just now? You are a rare The devoted man I met is also quite handsome, and it is also good for raising future generations. Besides, I am a good friend of Ruolin, if you were with me, you wouldn't bully me, right?" If I'm really with you, it must be your fault for bullying me!Mu Jingyan thought to himself.But he still has to make superficial things: "Okay, if we are still single by then, we might as well consider your suggestion." "YE! It's a deal!" Xin Yu stretched out her hand and high-fived Mu Jingyan, like a child with a childlike heart.
When Ruolin returned home, she rang the doorbell, but no one came to open it. Han Haoxuan probably hadn't come back yet, so she took out her own key and opened the door to enter the house. Usually Han Haoxuan picks up Ruolin from get off work, and then the two of them go home together. Unless Han Haoxuan has something to do, it is rare for Ruolin to stay at home alone. At this moment, looking at the empty room and remembering the scene she saw in the KTV corridor, Ruolin felt her heart grow cold little by little.
Opening the window of the living room, a gust of chilly wind blows towards her face, Ruolin couldn't help shivering. It is already late at night, and it is the moment when the city's lights bloom most brilliantly. In the past, Ruolin always felt that the lights at night were the warmest, and she believed that the lights at night symbolized a warm home. So, is there a warm home behind every light?Perhaps not, because there may be someone waiting for the return of a lover, such as her. 秋风有些凉意，若琳将窗关上，静静地立在窗前。 一辆辆车从楼下经过，可是却看不到韩皓轩那辆熟悉的车。
也不知在窗前站了多久，站得腿都有些发麻了，若琳才离开，坐到沙发上。 墙上的挂钟“滴答滴答”地走着，时针也已经指向12。 若琳从来没觉得时间过得如此漫长。她此刻的心情跟哭长城的孟姜女真没什么两样了。 她实在忍不住了，拿出手机拨了韩皓轩的电话，电话那端却传来生硬的女声：“对不起，您拨打的电话已关机。” 一副不堪的画面已经在若琳的脑中浮现：阔别多年的恋人不满足于彼此唇瓣的温度，开始贪恋彼此身体的温度。他们关了电话，抛开世界的一切纷扰，私奔到一个无人知晓的旅馆，正在床上翻云覆雨，抵死纠缠…… 不能想下去了，若琳逼迫自己不要胡思乱想，否则头痛得要爆裂了。
夜色渐沉，若琳也有些支撑不住了，索性拿了条薄被盖住自己，坐在沙发上等韩皓轩。 短信进来的提示音划破寂静的夜时，若琳的瞌睡虫顿时飞到了九霄云外，是韩皓轩发来的短信吧？她连忙抓起手机打开阅读。 “我到家了。不想问你为什么哭，可能问了你也不会告诉我。但是你哭的时候我也跟着有点难过。很担心你，你现在没事吧？”是穆景言发来的。 也是哦，韩皓轩哪有发短信的习惯？ 穆景言的短信让若琳感到有些欣慰，友情还是比爱情可靠啊！不过她不想让穆景言掺和这件事，所以她回过去简单几个字：“不要担心，我很好。谢谢你，阿穆。” “如果有什么不爽的事可以把它当垃圾一样倒出来，那样心里会舒坦很多。我愿意做你永远的垃圾桶。” 不一会儿，馨语的短信也进来了：“韩皓轩要是敢欺负你，你一定要告诉我！我替你做主！” 这就是馨语的个性，最好打抱不平了，若琳看得一乐：“我们幸福得很呢，不要操心啦，我还等着吃你和沈扬的喜糖呢！” “你们先结婚，然后我们紧步跟上。” 穆景言和馨语的短信看得若琳心里暖暖的，心情也好了很多。有这样的朋友，人生也算圆满了。
韩皓轩是凌晨三点左右回到家的。 进了屋，开了灯，映入眼帘的是蜷缩在沙发上的若琳，她的身上仅仅搭着一条薄被。 韩皓轩走过去，看到她睡觉时仍旧皱着眉，不由得有点责怪自己没有把她照顾好。 “若琳，睡在沙发上容易着凉。”韩皓轩轻推若琳。 “啊？你回来啦？”若琳睡得并不实，坐起身，看向韩皓轩。韩皓轩的脸色略显疲态，难道是见了旧情人有说不完的话然后一夜未眠吗？ “临时有点急事，手机又没电了，所以没有及时告诉你。对不起，若琳，下次不会这样了。”韩皓轩坐在若琳旁边，紧握住她的手。 若琳抬眼看看挂钟：“你几乎是彻夜不归了，一晚上都在陪客户吗？” “是啊，那几个客户特别难缠，但公司的业务量又大，不能得罪他们啊。不过，我保证，下回我尽量少陪他们，多陪你。”韩皓轩撒谎的时候依旧沉着稳定，看不出一丝慌乱。 果然是精明的商人啊，撒谎都不用打草稿。若琳在心里嗤笑。 若琳扑到他怀里，使劲地呼吸再呼吸，闻到他身上夹杂着酒和女人香水的味道，这更加证实了若琳在KTV看到的那一幕。 “你身上有女人的香水味，不会是背着我做坏事吧？”若琳抬起头，望着韩皓轩，半真半假地说。 “怎么会？我心里只有你一个。你摸摸这里。”韩皓轩将若琳的手按在自己胸口，若琳却抽出了自己的手。 “你快去洗澡吧，我很累，要去休息了。”若琳说着，便抱着被子走向卧室。 “好的。”望着若琳的背影，韩皓轩的愧疚更深了。
其实，韩皓轩根本没陪什么客户，他一晚上都跟安茜在一起。 当初安茜走得那么决绝，韩皓轩从来没有想过她会回来找他。
下午，韩皓轩原本约了客户谈合作事宜，结果客户方的代表之一竟是几年未见的安茜。跟从前相比，她的外貌并没太大改变，只是衣着比较成熟，打扮得也完全是职业女性，不见当初的青涩。 见到安茜时，韩皓轩感到颇为震惊，真是人生何处不相逢啊！ 两人的目光交汇时，韩皓轩被那熟悉的清澈眼眸吸引住了，竟然一时移不开目光。这双眼眸跟若琳的有几分相像，他难道喜欢若琳只是想从若琳身上寻找安茜的影子吗？he asked himself. “好久不见，你还好吗？”直至安茜微笑着伸出手，韩皓轩才回过神来。 “挺好的。你呢？”韩皓轩也伸出手，与她交握。她的手依旧那么柔软细腻，他曾说要呵护这样柔若无骨的手到老的，可是她没有给他这个机会。 “原来你们认识啊，那咱们的合作不是更方便谈了吗？”对方公司的另一个代表杜成说。 “嗯，她是我的一位故人。”韩皓轩故作很平静地说。但是，他内心已经在揣测，此次他和安茜的会面究竟是刻意安排还是无意重逢的了？不知怎么的，他竟然希望是前者，希望安茜是主动提出来谈这次合作的，原因只是为了见他。不过，他又很快否认了这个想法，因为，如果她想见他，她完全不需要如此大费周章，她只需直接来找他就可以了。
合作谈得很顺利，双方很快签订了合作协议。 韩皓轩主动提议请他们晚上去本市最著名的KTV去唱歌，杜成欣然应允，安茜也没有拒绝。
在KTV的包厢里，安茜唱了一首梁静茹的《会呼吸的痛》：“……想念是会呼吸的痛，它活在我身上所有角落，哼你爱的歌会痛，看你的信会痛，连沉默也痛。遗憾是会呼吸的痛，它流在血液中来回滚动，后悔不贴心会痛，恨不懂你会痛，想见不能见最痛……能重来那就好了。” 唱到动情处，脸上居然有泪水滑过，韩皓轩又看到了那个表面坚强内心脆弱的安茜，忍不住伸手，帮她擦去泪痕。 “这几年，你怎么一个电话都不打给我？”安茜的语气里满是哀怨。 “……”韩皓轩有些搞不懂状况了，当初要分手的是她，他试图挽留她，她看也不看他一眼，他真的以为她已经移情别恋了。如此，后来他再跟她联系就显得不像话了吧？ “这些年，我一个人在国外过得并不好，因为总忍不住会想起你。”安茜低声说，然后抚上韩皓轩的手，“我们分开的几年里，你想过我吗？” 当然想过，尤其是你离开的那一年。可是后来发现想念无济于事，所以索性用忙碌的工作麻痹自己。 “我们出去说吧，这里空调开得太足，有点闷。”韩皓轩不留痕迹地拨开安茜的手。其实是考虑到杜成在场，他们谈话不太方便。
两人来到一个比较安静偏僻的角落。 “你以前不是喜欢收藏打火机吗？这是ZIPPO刚出的限量款，送给你。”安茜拉过韩皓轩的手，摊开他的手掌，将一个小巧精致的打火机放在他的掌心。 “我现在没有这个爱好了，烟也戒了。不过，你的礼物就先收下了。” “戒烟了？不像你啊。你的变化真大。”安茜感叹，“那么，你也把对我的爱戒掉了吗？” “差不多吧。我现在有女朋友了，我的爱几乎都给她了。” “真的吗？我不信。那个女孩我见过了，长得有点像我，你不会是在寻找我的替身吧？”安茜不但不恼，而且话语里还有几分得意。 “你跟踪我？”韩皓轩问。 “不是，是回国后，有一次特意去以前我们住过的地方想看看你。碰巧看到你和她下班回来。” “哦，我原以为，你离开后不会再关注我的生活了呢！你这次回来，是不是原本想来看我的笑话的？想看我孤苦一人，结果让你失望了吧？” “我知道，当初离开你是我不对。我也不奢求你的原谅。但是我不希望你依靠从别人身上寻找我的影子来生活。因为，那不是爱情。你找现在的女朋友，是因为还没忘记我吧？” “不要那么自以为是，我早就把你忘了。” “那证明给我看……”安茜话音刚落，韩皓轩还没反应过来，她就已经拉下他的头，将自己的唇贴了过去。 韩皓轩的理智告诉他，要把安茜推开，不要再跟前女友有瓜葛了，可是这个吻却让他不能自已，因为他一下想起了他的初吻。 那是上完晚自习之后，两人到校园的小花园散步，在人工湖的石凳上，他抱着安茜，主动吻了她，她的回应有些生涩，却让他情不自禁。 事隔多年，他仍然记得那个吻，记得他和安茜的那么多初恋时光。
一个热吻过后，安茜告诉他当初离开她并非她的本意，而是他的母亲找过她，逼她离开他。 韩皓轩知道自己的母亲许凌一贯的做事风格，所以他相信她的话。 不过，时过境迁，物是人非，留念过去又有什么意义呢？他只能轻轻拥着她以作安慰。
“我们重新在一起，好吗？”安茜抬眼问韩皓轩。 “不可能了，我们已经，回不去了。”韩皓轩叹口气，“我不能对不起她，她很爱我。” “可是，我也很爱你啊！” “我现在爱的人已经不是你了，对不起。”韩皓轩不留余地地拒绝了她。 安茜的泪水哗啦就下来了，什么叫做“有些人错过就不再”，她算是深刻体会到了。
之后，韩皓轩打算开车回家，但是安茜一边哭一边哀求他陪陪她，并且强调就一个晚上。她说她有很多话想跟他说，并强调就是让他陪她，听她说说话。 好歹也是曾经的恋人一场，韩皓轩不忍拒绝，只好送安茜回家，然后听她唠叨。 说到后来，安茜也困了，就倒在他腿上睡着了。 他把安茜抱到床上，安顿好，然后连忙回家。
他从来都没这么晚回过家，他知道若琳一定会起疑心，但是他不能说他是因为要听前女友倾诉衷肠，所以晚归的。那样只会让若琳更加不安。所以，他撒谎了，他说因为陪客户所以很晚才回来。事实上，现在，安茜的身份真的是他的客户。 不过，他撒谎过后，觉得很内疚。 爱人之间需要的是真诚，但是他为什么连这最基本的一点都做不到呢？
亮着一盏台灯的卧室里，若琳侧躺在床上，两眼望着天花板，只觉得心里难受得紧。 韩皓轩刚才说谎的时候脸不红心不跳的，俨然一副撒谎高手的模样。 除此以外，他还对她撒过别的谎吗？ 陪客户？嗬，陪客户还用陪接吻的吗？还有，身上有女人香水味儿，又是这么晚才回来，恐怕不只是接吻那么简单吧？
韩皓轩洗完澡进屋的时候，若琳依旧背对着他，看都没看他一眼。 往常，要不就是两人一起洗澡一起进卧室休息，要不就是若琳先洗，然后等他，他一进屋，她都会坐起来，对他笑着说：“洗好啦？”然后，他会笑着回答：“是啊，洗得很干净，想不想吃啊？”接着，若琳会来一句“讨厌”，当然是带着女人特有的娇羞的。 可是，今天，若琳的姿势完全意味着一点都不欢迎他。
“亲爱的，我来了。”韩皓轩钻进被窝。 若琳闭着眼睛，纹丝不动，装睡。 见若琳没反应，韩皓轩侧过身，看了看她，发现她睡着了，便不再吱声，也躺下来。 然后，若琳感觉到他的一只手臂伸了过来，轻拥住她，低声说：“如果你是为今天我晚归的事情生气，我向你道歉。以后……我尽量推掉客户。” 他依旧在撒谎！还在说陪客户？ 若琳就想要转身质问他了，但听他说：“我今天也很累，一起睡吧。”若琳也不好再说什么，而且深更半夜的吵架也不好。于是，她只好克制住自己，继续装睡。 他说他很累，翻云覆雨后自然要累咯！若琳在心里冷笑。
不过才睡了一会儿，天就亮了。 若琳一晚上都处于半梦半醒之间，这会儿已经醒了。 韩皓轩仍处于熟睡状态，浓密翩长的眼睫垂下来，乖巧地覆在英俊的脸庞，似蝶翼一般。他睡着的样子是如此俊美无害，纯真得像个孩子，她也不好冲他发火。 望着韩皓轩的睡颜，若琳只能独自神伤。
若琳醒后就再也睡不着了，于是早早起了床，来到客厅。 拉开窗帘，太阳的半边脸已经从地平线露了出来。 天亮了，她的心却停留在黑夜。
其实昨天晚上，她一直坐在客厅沙发等韩皓轩，不过是在等他给她一个合理的解释，哪里知道他给她的理由还是陪客户呢？ 她是去打破沙锅问到底呢？还是继续保持沉默？ 如果韩皓轩在她的追问下坦白交代一切，是不是意味着两个人之间要爆发一场战争，然后两个人之间的关系也要随之结束呢？ 如果保持沉默，就是让自己麻痹，可以让两个人之间的战争暂时免于爆发。
韩皓轩醒来的时候已经是早晨九点了，比平时足足晚起床了一个小时。 “若琳！”韩皓轩一边穿衣起床一边喊道。 no respond. 也是，现在这个时候，若琳应该在单位了。 可是平时如果他想睡懒觉，她都会掀开他的被子，逼他起床送她上班的啊。今天怎么不声不响地就独自上班去了呢？
韩皓轩穿好衣服走进客厅。 餐桌上摆着韩皓轩平常爱吃的早餐，有只碗的下面压了一张纸条：“你昨天回来得晚，应该很累，不忍心叫你起床。再说你也不用像我一样上班一定要打卡。不知道你何时起床，但还是准备了早餐，如果凉了，记得热一下再吃。” 韩皓轩望着纸条上若琳留下的字，心中五味杂陈。 他很感动若琳对他的种种好，也有些懊悔自己对若琳撒了谎话。 只是，他为什么要撒谎呢？如果他跟安茜只是故人重逢叙叙旧，向若琳老实交代也没有什么吧？难道他是做贼心虚吗？他竟然也有些看不清自己的内心了？ 你现在爱的人究竟是谁？是若琳还是安茜的影子？韩皓轩质问自己。
早上，离开家后，若琳乘公车上班。 俗话说“由俭入奢易，由奢入俭难”不是没有道理的，她习惯了每天早上乘韩皓轩的车去上班。现在跟从前一样挤公车反倒有点不适应了。 还好，中途有了空座位，不需要站着了。 或许是晚上睡得不好，刚坐下不久，若琳就睡着了。 短暂的梦伴随着这个浅眠，梦里不断重复的画面便是韩皓轩和那个女人热吻的情景。 最后，若琳是被梦纠缠得喘不过气来醒来的。 不知不觉间，还是坐过了一站。 若琳下车，到马路的另一面乘坐开往相反方向的车。
孰料，在这辆车上，若琳竟然碰到了同事方玲。 正所谓冤家路窄，偏偏在换乘车上遇见，没有早一分钟，也没有晚一分钟。 若琳虽然看到方玲有那么一点尴尬，毕竟原来以方玲的姓名冠名的访谈栏目如今已经易名。 但是若琳还是微笑着跟她打招呼：“早上好。” 方玲并不接话，而是抛给若琳一个问题：“今天沈主任怎么不乘坐韩白马的车，反而屈身来坐公交车呢？”语气里满是冷嘲热讽。 若琳本来因为韩皓轩跟别的女人亲热却对她撒谎的事情心情不爽，这会儿方玲提到韩白马，火气都聚集到胸口，特别想找一个发泄口，但她对自己说：淡定，一定要淡定！ 她平复一下心中的怒气，尽量保持微笑状：“他今天有事。” “唉，真是羡慕你啊！找到韩皓轩那样的白马王子，算是很多女人的终极梦想了。不过，借住韩白马的力量踩在别人头上往上爬是不对的！” "What's the meaning?" “什么意思你最了解对不对，沈主任？”说完，方玲冷哼一声。 “我不明白，你能不能说得清楚一点？” “你是逼得别人走投无路，又要别人撕开伤口给你看吗？把自己的快乐建立在别人的痛苦之上有意思吗？”方玲的脸色变得阴冷，“倘若不是韩皓轩，你现在顶多就是一个籍籍无名的流程编辑，甚至，你有可能已经被开除了。” “请你不要血口喷人！”若琳快要发火了，声音也陡然变大了许多，惹得整个车厢的人都看向这边。 “有什么私人恩怨下车再说啊，不要影响别的乘客。”售票员看不过去了。
若琳和方玲怒目相视，不再说话。 很快就到站了。两人一前一后走下车。
“刚才你在车上说的话，你能不能说明白一点？”若琳拉住疾步前行的方玲。 “事到如今，你还装傻，真是不知道怎么说你好了。你知道不知道韩皓轩的父亲韩建荣是做什么的？”方玲一脸的不耐烦。 “不是传媒大亨吗？” “知道这个不就结了。老子是传媒界的老大，儿子在传媒界当然多少有点名气，而且说话也有分量，他只需动动手指头，便可让我们这些从事传媒工作的人衣食不保。” “不会的，他不会插手我的工作的，何况他是从事电子商务的。”若琳摇头。 “会不会只有你知道咯。”说完，方玲便不再理睬若琳，自顾自地朝着公司大楼大步地走去。
若琳到了公司打完卡，便跑到阳台给韩皓轩电话，不能怪她急性子，实在是她太在乎自己现在的工作究竟是靠自己的努力还是靠韩皓轩的推波助澜。 “若琳，早餐很好吃，谢谢。”电话接通后，韩皓轩说的第一句话。 “谢谢”这个词若琳已经好长时间没听韩皓轩说了，可是此时他却对她说谢谢，口气听着竟有些生疏。是不是见过旧爱之后还是觉得旧爱好，然后对她就有隔阂了呢？ “早知道不该为你做早餐的。我才不要见鬼的'谢谢'呢！” 若琳的口气有点冲，韩皓轩也听出了她话里不快，便说：“还在为我昨天晚上回来得晚生气吗？早上一声不响就提前独自出门了，是不是也是因为这件事生气？” “是的。”若琳不否认此刻口气不好与他晚归有关，“不过，我打电话给你，主要是想问你，我现在得到了编辑部主任的职位与你有关吗？对了，我不想听你太多解释，你只需要回答有还是没有。” “……没有。”韩皓轩心里一惊，他不是叮嘱过方强不要把这件事说出去的吗？ “真的没有？我的工作完全与你无关，是这样没错吧？”若琳不放心地又问了两遍。 “是啊，我对传媒事业不感兴趣
Although she became Han Haoxuan's girlfriend, Ruolin worked harder than before to make money. Xin Yu said she was stupid, no one would work so hard after finding a rich boyfriend. Ruo Lin always shook her head stubbornly: "I don't want to use any of his money." "Don't make yourself work too hard, my money is really not urgent at all." Xin Yu said. "Even if I'm not in a hurry to pay you back, I still have to save money to pay back Mu Jingyan. Besides, even if he's not in a hurry to use the money like you, I have a lot of expenses every month! Mom still needs to take medicine to consolidate Physically, my younger sister will go to university next year, and the tuition fee is high. Well, it would be great if money could drop from the sky.” "To be honest, if you need money, don't worry about owing me money before, you can still borrow it from me now." "You are about to get married, so you may not have the final say in the future, right?" "That's not true! Even if I get married, I still hold the financial power." "By the way, when are you going to get married?" Ruo Lin has been wondering why Xin Yu said she and Shen Yang were going to get married, but there was no action. "Hehe, Shen Yang still has a lot of things to deal with, and the matter of marriage is on hold for now." Every time when it comes to marriage, Xin Yu is always evasive. "Oh, that's it." It's not easy for Ruo Lin to ask the bottom line about marriage, because every family has a difficult scripture to recite.Just like she and Han Haoxuan, although they live together, they always feel that there are many twists and turns and the wedding date is far away.
In fact, Han Haoxuan's mother, Xu Ling, came to Ruolin again after the quarrel, and went directly to her unit to find her.This time Xu Ling's attitude was much better, but he didn't come to apologize or agree to her being with Han Haoxuan, but after tactfully persuading Ruo Lin, he took out an envelope and put it in front of Ruo Lin: "I know your family is in trouble, Need money, here are some cash and checks, a total of 100,000 yuan, enough for you and your family to live for a while. As long as you leave Haoxuan, these will belong to you." "Please take it back." Ruolin said word by word. "Is it too little?" Xu Ling asked with a frown. "It has nothing to do with the amount of money. I only know that love cannot be measured by money. I am with Han Haoxuan, not for money. You can ask your son if I have used his money since we were together. " Ruolin said loudly. "Then how can you let go of Haoxuan?" "It's still the same sentence, unless he voluntarily gives up on me." "Yes, he will get tired of you one day, and he will never marry you! Do you know? You are just a substitute for his ex-girlfriend." Xu Ling felt a little familiar when he first met Ruolin, and now The more I look at her, the more I feel that she looks like Anxi.An Qian's family background is also average, but the child has always been proud and arrogant. At that time, Xu Ling considered his son's future and did not want his son to fall in love prematurely. An Xi was fighting for a chance to study abroad, so Xu Ling approached An Xi secretly and promised to help her find a relationship and send her to study abroad, the only condition was to break up with Han Haoxuan.After hesitating for a long time, the girl took the initiative to call her and agreed to break up. Xu Ling originally thought that Ruolin was no different from Anxi, as long as she was dismissed with something, she could leave Han Haoxuan.Moreover, compared with Anxi, Ruolin's conditions are even worse, so she thinks that Ruolin has no reason to refuse her money.Unexpectedly, this trick didn't work in front of Ruo Lin, and she was rejected. However, Xu Ling is someone who has been there after all. Not only does he look the same as before, he is not panicked at all, and he even knows how to play hard to get.Since Ruolin is not interested in material things, let her give up emotionally. "How do you say that?" Ruo Lin was puzzled. "This is the photo of Haoxuan's former girlfriend, An Qian. Let's see if you two look alike." Xu Ling calmly took out a photo and handed it to Ruo Lin. The woman in the photo is smiling like a flower, and her eyebrows and eyes are really similar to Ruolin. "What does that mean?" Ruo Lin returned the photo to Xu Ling and said calmly. "This is Haoxuan's favorite girl. They have been in love for three years. After she left Haoxuan, Haoxuan has always chosen to be single, because Haoxuan has always loved her. Now Haoxuan chooses to be with you, that is Because Haoxuan is trying to treat you as her. Do you understand when I say that?" Xu Ling didn't believe that Ruolin could remain calm after hearing these words. However, Ruolin's self-control is still beyond Xu Ling's imagination. Ruolin smiled and said to her, "So what if I look alike? At least Haoxuan loves me now." Xu Ling was completely defeated by Ruolin, she felt that she had never met such a thick-skinned person, and finally left behind a sentence of "You are ruthless" and walked away. In fact, after Xu Ling left, Ruolin didn't have the attitude of a winner. Instead, she was thinking about Xu Ling's sentence "You are just a substitute for his ex-girlfriend". Although she was puzzled, she still decided not to ask Han Haoxuan.Because, if what Xu Ling said was true, then she had to leave Han Haoxuan now, and she didn't want to be someone else's substitute.But she loves him so much, wants to stay with him so much, and misses every day they spend together so much. So, she decided to choose to forget, as if Xu Ling never came to her.
For the sake of Ruolin's health, Han Haoxuan didn't let her work in a restaurant, and didn't let her be a tutor. As a result, Ruolin was struggling recently, and had no choice but to borrow another five thousand yuan from Xinyu. However, fortunately, she later found that she could have another part-time job that Han Haoxuan could not stop: a journal writer.Because writing manuscripts seems quite leisurely, and Ruolin has always said that writing articles is her greatest hobby. She accidentally wrote a short story and submitted it to an emotional journal. She didn't hold out hope, but she didn't expect to receive a notice in the mailbox that "the manuscript has been approved and will be published soon". After that, she received a manuscript fee of 600 yuan.So she started writing for journals in her spare time.
After dinner every day, Ruolin would sit in front of the computer and play word games happily, and Han Haoxuan would sometimes come over to make trouble: "What are you writing? It's not about writing my embarrassing things to sell for money, is it?" ?” "You interrupted my idea, it's too tasteless." "This is called no product." Han Haoxuan directly carried Ruo Lin from the computer desk to the bed, and then made a gesture to throw her down. "Han Haoxuan, you're going too far!" Ruo Lin yelled. "You are too much! You should belong to me when you go home, but in the end it was all taken over by a broken computer." "You can't be jealous of a computer, are you?" Ruolin couldn't help laughing. "So what? You have to spend more time with me, or be careful that I do harm to your computer!" "You dare! If you interrupt my writing like this again, I will move out of here. Writing needs to be quiet." Faced with Han Haoxuan's childish overbearing, Ruolin had no choice but to say this. This trick was quite effective for Han Haoxuan: "Okay, great writer, go write something, I'll stay on the empty bed alone." It was pitiful. "I'll accompany you when I'm done writing." Ruo Lin got off the bed and went to the computer desk to continue typing. "It was early morning when you finished writing, and I fell asleep. Sigh... can you stop being so brave? I'll pay back the money you owed Mu Jingyan and Xin Yu, right? Why bother working so hard every day? How about making money with code words? We don’t even have time for sex now. Do the math yourself, how long has it been since we exercised in bed?” Han Haoxuan complained on the bed. "It hasn't been long, it wasn't just last week... By the way, Han Haoxuan, why didn't you find out that you have a flamboyant guts before? Think about something serious, for example, how should your company grow and grow? Young People, you have to be a little self-motivated." "I hope you don't have to work so hard right now, and marry you into the family as soon as possible. This is the serious thing for me." Han Haoxuan said truthfully. Hearing Han Haoxuan's words, Ruo Lin's smile suddenly froze on her face, and she remembered what Xu Ling said to her: "He will get tired of you one day, and he will never marry you!" "Hao Xuan, has the relationship between you and your parents eased up?" Ruo Lin asked casually. "It's okay." Han Haoxuan seemed reluctant to bring up this topic, "Don't worry, if they really don't agree with us being together, we can simply cook rice and you will conceive my child, okay?" , Han Haoxuan had already come behind Ruo Lin, hugging her shoulder lightly. "No, that's not good, it's just a stopgap measure. If your parents don't accept me, then they will only think that I deliberately got pregnant to coerce you to marry me. I don't want your parents to see me like this." If Lin quickly rejected Han Haoxuan's idea. "Alright, alright, I'll persuade them." Han Haoxuan hugged Ruolin even tighter. Ruo Lin's mood suddenly became heavier than ever before, she always felt that the future between herself and Han Haoxuan seemed to be full of fog.
One morning a few days later, Fang Qiang, the editor-in-chief, called Ruolin into the office. He first affirmed her recent work achievements and serious work attitude, and then told her that she decided to change "Fang Ling has an appointment" to "Ruolin has an appointment" , she doesn't need to be a process editor in the future, she will directly work on the column "Ruolin has an appointment", and will be promoted to the director of the editorial department, with a monthly salary increase of 1,000 yuan. Ruolin naturally couldn't believe it at first, she said to Xin Yu before, "I hope the money will drop from the sky", did God hear her heart? However, she also has doubts. If "Fang Ling has an appointment" is changed to "Ruolin has an appointment", what will Fang Ling do? Fang Qiang said that Fang Ling had been arranged to do another column, and Ruolin felt relieved.
After leaving the editor-in-chief's office, Ruolin ran to the bathroom to wash her face, because just now she felt that the sockets of her eyes were moist, and she didn't want her colleagues to see her expression. In fact, it can't be called crying with joy, but I suddenly feel a little emotional. She has been working hard for so long, and now she has finally paid off for her hard work. She took out her mobile phone and sent a message to the two major creditors, Xin Yu and Mu Jingyan: "I got promoted and made a fortune. If you are free after get off work, I will treat you to dinner." She originally thought that it would be nice if one of them was free, after all, Xin Yu is also in love now!Who knew that in just a few seconds, she received replies from two people almost at the same time. "You don't know that I don't refuse anyone who comes to me recently, do you? Of course you have to accept the food delivered to your door. Quickly set the time and place, and then wait to be exploited. Hehehe..." This is Xin Yu's text message, and the last A few times I really laughed too much! "Okay, congratulations, send me a text message after confirming the time and place, I don't need to work overtime today." Mu Jingyan's reply, just like his people, is always lukewarm. Ruolin originally wanted to tell Xin Yu that she didn't mind bringing her family, but she thought that if Xin Yu brought her family, it would be inappropriate for her not to bring her family, but it would be even more inappropriate to bring her family, so she simply didn't mention the family.
Han Haoxuan happened to have a social event tonight and said he would go home later, Ruolin took pleasure in it instead, and finally escaped from the clutches of this domineering man for once.She's not married yet, so why does Ruolin feel that Han Haoxuan's love is too heavy?Don't think about it anymore, the future is too far away, let's talk about marriage, I haven't written a word yet! Considering that Xinyu is a wheat bully, and Ruolin hasn't relaxed for a long time, she decided to go to a certain KTV, where she could treat her to dinner and sing to relieve stress, but in KTV, most of the time she was a competent audience. Speaking of KTV, Xin Yu's eyes really shined, and she immediately replied to the text message: "OH, YE! Long live!" In the KTV box, Xin Yu was singing Mayday's "Stubborn", and when she sang the climax, her voice was surprisingly excited. Ruo Lin sat on the sofa and concentrated on eating, so that she would have the strength to sing later! Mu Jingyan ate and listened to Xin Yu's singing, and then occasionally laughed out loud. It wasn't that Xin Yu sang badly, but that she also sang the songs of male singers with such devotion. That devotion made him I feel a little funny. Mu Jingyan turned his head inadvertently, just in time to see a grain of rice sticking to Ruo Lin's mouth, he pointed to his mouth and kindly reminded her: "You have a grain of rice near your mouth." Helplessly, the climax of "Stubborn" is being repeated, and Xin Yu's voice is so loud that Ruolin can't hear it at all, so she asked stupidly, "What?" Mu Jingyan reached out and gently took the rice away from Ruo Lin's mouth. Only then did Ruo Lin realize what was going on, and gave Mu Jingyan a smirk. "In fact, I have always liked you." Mu Jingyan whispered.He would like to thank Xin Yu for singing this slightly rock song, so that Ruo Lin couldn't hear him when he confessed his love, and he could finally confess his love to the girl he had a crush on. "What are you talking about? Can you speak louder, I can't hear you." Ruo Lin only saw Mu Jingyan's mouth opening and closing, but couldn't hear what he was saying. "I said, you look cute while eating." Mu Jingyan raised his voice a few decibels this time. "Oh, I thought you said I looked funny when I ate!"
At this moment, after Xin Yu's "Stubbornness" had finished, Ruolin and Mu Jingyan were looking at each other, chatting happily, without even giving her a round of applause. "Hey, you two, this is not a coffee shop, not a place to drink tea and chat. It costs hundreds of dollars an hour. Hurry up and make the most of what you have and go sing!" Xin Yu stepped down from the stage and encouraged them to sing on stage. "I can't sing well." Ruo Lin declined. "This is not a singing competition. It doesn't matter if you don't sing well." "Amu, you can sing first." Ruo Lin asked Mu Jingyan for help. "I'm not very good at singing either." Mu Jingyan also showed embarrassment. "Oh, I've never seen the two of you disappointing like this. Otherwise, let's pack the hammer and whoever loses will sing. Otherwise, it will make me feel like I am having a solo concert. How boring!" Seeing Xin Yu's insistence, Ruolin and Mu Jingyan couldn't refuse anymore, so they had to agree. In the end, Xin Yu hit Bu, while Ruo Lin and Mu Jingyan's punches at the same time ended in failure, so they had to bet and admit defeat. "The two of you actually take the joy of singing as a burden. Well, I won't embarrass you anymore. Just let the two of you sing a song together." Xin Yu enthusiastically went to order songs for the two of them while talking What turned out to be the duet song "A Little Tempted" by Zhang Xinzhe and Carina Lau. "Hey, this is the only song I can sing between men and women, how do you know?" Mu Jingyan said in disbelief. "Really? What a coincidence, it seems that Ruo Lin can only sing such a love song." Xin Yu looked at Ruo Lin. Jolene nodded dully.
When the melodious prelude sounded, Ruolin seemed to have a feeling of going back in time. It was really a long time since I heard this song. When this song became popular, it was the best time in her youth. She always felt that she was tone deaf and rarely sang in public, so she hummed this song silently in her heart, humming it countless times, The object of humming is Mu Jingyan. How did she ever think that Mu Jingyan, the boy she was thinking of at that time, would sing this song with her?
"You and I, men and women, can't escape love; whoever is willing, has the courage, and gives his heart regardless of everything." As soon as Mu Jingyan sang the first line, Xin Yu began to applaud: "Student Mu, you really don't show your face! You sing so well, but you humbly say that you can't sing, and I will punish you for drinking later!" "You are talking about not only you, but also myself. Should we continue, should we have memories, let love come closer step by step?" upset. "I'm a little bit tempted by you, but I'm so afraid to look into your eyes, I'm so a little bit tempted and a little bit hesitant, I can't believe I can't help it." "I'm a little bit tempted by you. I don't know whether the result is sadness or joy. I'm a little bit tempted, a little bit hesitant. I'm afraid that I'll lose it after I've loved you..." With the soothing and melodious melody and the affectionate singing voice, Mu Jingyan felt that he was about to be intoxicated.
At the end of the song, Xin Yu yelled: "Mu Jingyan, don't bring such a bully, who sings so well but says he can't sing, aren't you a bully? Drink and drink." Filled his wine glass, "It must be done!" Mu Jingyan took the wine glass and drank it down without saying a word. "Ah, refreshing enough, do you want another glass?" Xin Yu took the wine bottle and wanted to fill it up for Mu Jingyan again. "Xin Yu, Ah Mu will be driving later, let him drink less." Ruolin remembered that Mu Jingyan came here in the company's car this time, and quickly pressed Xin Yu's hand. "When he's drunk, I'll take him home later, right? You don't need me to worry about it now, you just ask Han Haoxuan to pick you up." Xin Yu said calmly. "He has something to do today, I will take a taxi by myself then." "The man has something to do at night? Be careful!" Xin Yu whispered in Ruo Lin's ear. "As long as you like to think wildly, that's serious business." Ruo Lin gave Xin Yu an angry look. "Just kidding, why take it seriously?"
"What are you guys talking about? Are you whispering something secret?" Mu Jingyan leaned over and asked. "Women's concerns, men, don't guess." Xin Yu made a "go aside" gesture. "It's still quite mysterious." Mu Jingyan smiled awkwardly. "Chen Maiba, go and sing, don't you like singing "One Night in Beijing" the most?" Ruo Lin didn't want Xin Yu to focus on Han Haoxuan, so she quickly changed the subject. "That's right, "One Night in Beijing" is a must-play song for me every time I come to KTV. I want to let you all know what is meant by 'time man and time woman'." When it comes to singing, Xin Yu's energy comes, so hurry up and order it Song, jump on stage. Xin Yu first sang the female part with her throat squeezed, and then let go of her voice to yell at the male part. Her singing combined with her exaggerated expression made Ruolin and Mu Jingyan amused.
On the way, Ruolin planned to go to the bathroom. The toilet in this KTV was very difficult to find. Ruolin asked a few waiters and turned several corridors before finally seeing the sign for the toilet. Ruolin followed the signs and walked along the long corridor to the bathroom.
On the side of the corridor near the bathroom is a relatively hidden aisle. Under the dim light, there is a couple embracing each other, kissing inseparably. I don't know what attracted Ruolin, and made her take a second look.It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, she was startled when she saw it. Who else could that tall, handsome man be, Han Haoxuan? Ruo Lin froze in place, almost unable to breathe.Han Haoxuan actually kissed another woman in front of her? ! She thought it was a dream, so she squeezed her arm as usual - it hurts, it really hurts! She suddenly remembered what Xin Yu said in her ear just now: "What's the man doing at night? Be careful!" Then she couldn't help feeling how ironic the scene before her was.
The woman's hands were tightly clung to Han Haoxuan's neck like vines, and Han Haoxuan's hand was wrapped around her waist. The two kissed in that hidden corner and forgot everything, as if they were the only ones left in the world. both.Neither of them noticed Ruolin's existence. Ruolin also thought about stepping forward to pull away the pair of men and women who were entangled to death, but she still told herself to be calm, she always believed in Han Haoxuan, he said it was for entertainment, maybe it was a "beauty trick" deliberately set up by him for work Bar? Ruolin tiptoed into the bathroom, and looked at the couple through the door of the bathroom.She didn't mean to peep, nor did she mean to eavesdrop, but curiosity still drove her to do so.
"Haoxuan, I love you so much, I miss you so much, I really miss you so much! These years, I often think about you so much that I can't sleep." The lines that are more shocking than Aunt Qiong Yao's TV series come from the mouth of the voyeuristic heroine slipped. "Don't be like this, like a child." Han Haoxuan's lines were relatively better, "But, since you love me, why did you leave me in the first place?!" Asking almost hoarsely, Han Haoxuan seemed to have returned to the roaring leader. "Because of your mother..." The heroine's voice was a little choked up, and crystal tears were about to come out of her eyes, "Your mother once looked for me and forced me to leave you." Then Han Haoxuan let out a long sigh, and hugged the heroine in his arms distressedly.
Ruolin has already guessed the identity of the heroine, she must be Han Haoxuan's ex-girlfriend, right?She was the woman who abandoned Han Haoxuan for the opportunity to study abroad, right? But hasn't she gone abroad?Why are you back home?Could it be that he came here specifically to find his first boyfriend?Isn't this the beginning of a story that popular romance novels are best at?Lovers who reunited after a long absence still can't forget each other after being separated for many years, and then staged a touching story that moved people to tears.In the past, Ruolin was moved when she read these books, but she never imagined that she was not destined to become the heroine in the novel. She seemed to be a third-party character commonly used in novels, at most a supporting actress. Ruolin thought of a book that said that men always think that their first love girlfriend is the best woman in the world, and men like to regard "what you can't get is always the best" as a wise saying. Is there no competition at all in front of you? "Did you know? You are just a stand-in for his former girlfriend." Xu Ling's words sounded in Ruolin's mind without any warning at this moment, like a bomb, blowing Ruolin's heart apart. Ruolin leaned over, trying to see the woman's appearance clearly, but the lights were too dim, and her back was almost turned to Ruolin, so she couldn't see her face clearly at all, only she had straight hair like a waterfall. Hair, wearing a tight skirt, slender legs exposed. "Little boy, the wind won't freeze you to death later!" Ruo Lin cursed in her heart.
When Ruolin came out of the bathroom, the hero and heroine who performed the kissing scene had disappeared, and the corridor was silent, as if nothing had happened just now. Ruo Lin didn't know how she walked back to the box, she felt like she suddenly lost her soul, and her steps were also very vain. In the box, Xinyu was still "holding a solo concert", and Mu Jingyan was sitting on the sofa, turning the wine glass in his hand, looking a bit bored. Seeing Ruolin walking in with a dazed expression, Mu Jingyan asked, "Are you okay? Why do you look unhappy?" "It's okay, let me lean on your shoulder, okay?" Ruo Lin sat down beside Mu Jingyan, and leaned her head on his shoulder without waiting for his consent. Mu Jingyan felt that Ruolin was a little abnormal, but she said it was fine, so he didn't want to ask any more questions.So, he stretched out his hand and embraced Ruo Lin's slender shoulders like a brother who was in trouble. Suddenly, Mu Jingyan felt something wet dripping on his neck, one drop, two drops, three drops... "Are you crying?" Mu Jingyan asked softly, "What's wrong with you? Tell me, maybe I can help you share the burden." "It's nothing, I'm just sad, and my heart hurts like it's about to tear." Yeah, what feeling is more uncomfortable than being cheated?If it was true what Han Haoxuan's mother said, she was just a stand-in for Han Haoxuan's ex-girlfriend, she would never forgive Han Haoxuan, absolutely not! "I'm in a much better mood, thank you." Ruo Lin wiped away her tears, raised her head, and left Mu Jingyan's shoulder, pretending that nothing happened, and said with a smile. No matter how hard it is, she can still smile. What happened just now?Ruo Lin comforted herself in her heart.
"Ruo Lin, who is bullying you? Tell me, I will definitely make it easier for him!" Xin Yu also found that something was wrong after Ruo Lin came back, and immediately said while patting her chest. "With a friend like you who is easy to fight against injustices, who would dare to bully me? Don't you think so, Amu?" Ruo Lin laughed.Xinyu is still the same Xinyu, every time Ruolin is upset, she will always stand up. Ruo Lin's nose suddenly felt a little sour again, not because of Han Haoxuan, but because she had a good friend like Xin Yu. At the same time, Ruolin felt rejoiced that Xinyu had already broken up with Han Haoxuan, otherwise the sad person should be replaced by Xinyu, right?
After the performance, Mu Jingyan wanted to send Ruolin back, but Xin Yu said that he could not drink and drive, and insisted that Mu Jingyan take a taxi back and let her take Ruolin back. "No need, I can take a taxi by myself." Ruolin declined both of their kindness.She actually didn't really want to go back to Han Haoxuan's place tonight, but she had to go and listen to his explanation, otherwise she would really stay up all night. Xinyu suddenly realizes that the home Ruolin wants to return to is Han Haoxuan's home, and she doesn't want to see that person, that person will only bring back her sad memories.So, she stopped insisting, but stretched out her hand to help Ruolin hail a taxi: "Then I'll take Mu Jingyan home, and you go home by yourself, and send me a text message to let me know when you get home." "Okay, I'm not a three-year-old child anymore, so I won't get lost. Let's go, goodbye." Ruo Lin got into the car and waved goodbye to Mu Jingyan and Xin Yu.
It wasn't until the taxi carrying Ruolin completely disappeared from sight that Mu Jingyan came back to his senses. "Hey, why are you in a daze? Get in the car." Xin Yu had already driven the car from the parking lot and parked beside Mu Jingyan. "Student Mu, do you mind if I ask you a question?" After getting in the car, Xin Yu started her private interview time. "what?" "Do you like Ruolin?" Mu Jingyan looked at Ruolin's eyes, and Xin Yu felt that he should like Ruolin. "No." Mu Jingyan denied it without even thinking about it.Ruolin already has a boyfriend now, so what if he likes her?Just don't admit it. "You're lying! It's not shameful to like someone, why not admit it? I dare to tell you that the person I like is Han Haoxuan." Xin Yu said openly. "Ah?" Mu Jingyan was startled when he heard the words, "Isn't your boyfriend Shen Yang?" "That's a deceiving illusion. In fact, I don't have any boyfriend at all. Shen Yang is my good buddy. I asked him to accompany me in this scene, that's all." "Why did you do this?" Mu Jingyan was very puzzled by this. "Because it's better for one person to be hurt than for two people to be hurt. I just want Ruolin to fall in love without any scruples. You know, she always likes to restrain herself, especially in terms of feelings. She had a crush on you before, She never told you, did she?" "What? Ruolin, has she ever had a crush on me?" Mu Jingyan was shocked again. "Yeah. Why are you two so late? But you two are really... How should I put it? Let's put it in a cliché, you two don't always meet each other at the right time, she When you had a crush on you, you didn't care about her, but when she fell in love with someone else, you started to have a crush on her. Love is really interesting sometimes, isn't it?" Xin Yu was deeply moved. Love is not fun, but cruel. No wonder Zhang Ailing's words will become a classic: When you meet the person you meet among thousands of people, in the thousands of years, in the boundless wilderness of time, without one step earlier, He was not too late, and happened to catch up, so he had nothing else to say, but asked softly: "Oh, are you here too?" But Mu Jingyan and Ruo Lin were either early or late, the two missed it after all. Mu Jingyan sighed secretly in his heart.
"A person who truly loves someone will be willing to let go, right? As long as she can be happy, she will be willing to let go. So since the past is gone, what's the point of mentioning it. Now even if I tell Ruolin that I like her, I will become her. Burden." Mu Jingyan said. "That's right. I've also seen it now. Loving someone is not possessing, not getting, but enjoying the feeling of loving someone. However, if... I mean, if, if Ruolin's life is not good in the future If you were happy, would you work hard to win her over?" Xin Yu asked. "Why not?" Mu Jingyan asked back. "That's right! You are a good man worthy of love! Ruolin really has a crush on you for so many years!" Xin Yu gave Mu Jingyan a thumbs up. "Ruo Lin is a bit unusual today, do you suspect that she is not happy now? Could it be that Han Haoxuan treats her badly?" Mu Jingyan thought of Ruo Lin's tears. "Although I have been with Han Haoxuan for a while, we got along very politely at that time, not like a man and woman in love at all. However, as far as I know him, I think he is an indecisive person. The person he likes is obviously It was Ruolin, but she was able to hide her in my heart and associate with me. Although I liked him, I was very dissatisfied with his behavior. In the end, I broke up with him on my own initiative, and he broke up with me. I haven't even mentioned the breakup. Can you men really do two things at once?" Xin Yu's tone suddenly became a little sad. "Don't beat a man to death with a stick, I'm a dedicated man by your side." "Yes, you are the best! Let me yell a slogan, if you want to find a man, you must find someone like Mu Jingyan!" "Exaggerate you." Mu Jingyan smiled, "Has anyone ever told you that you are a pistachio?" "Yes, didn't you just say that?" Mu Jingyan laughed loudly: "You are very good at talking!" "Just kidding, if a teacher doesn't know how to joke, isn't it misleading his children? By the way, Mu Jingyan, if two years later, you don't have a date, and I don't have a date, or we can make do, okay?" Xin Yu There is no shyness in saying this. "Why do you have such an idea?" Mu Jingyan felt that Xin Yu's idea was bold enough. "Because since I broke up with Han Haoxuan, I have started a long blind date journey. In order to save me from the dire straits of the blind date, you have to do the same. And, didn't you say it just now? You are a rare The devoted man I met is also quite handsome, and it is also good for raising future generations. Besides, I am a good friend of Ruolin, if you were with me, you wouldn't bully me, right?" If I'm really with you, it must be your fault for bullying me!Mu Jingyan thought to himself.But he still has to make superficial things: "Okay, if we are still single by then, we might as well consider your suggestion." "YE! It's a deal!" Xin Yu stretched out her hand and high-fived Mu Jingyan, like a child with a childlike heart.
When Ruolin returned home, she rang the doorbell, but no one came to open it. Han Haoxuan probably hadn't come back yet, so she took out her own key and opened the door to enter the house. Usually Han Haoxuan picks up Ruolin from get off work, and then the two of them go home together. Unless Han Haoxuan has something to do, it is rare for Ruolin to stay at home alone. At this moment, looking at the empty room and remembering the scene she saw in the KTV corridor, Ruolin felt her heart grow cold little by little.
Opening the window of the living room, a gust of chilly wind blows towards her face, Ruolin couldn't help shivering. It is already late at night, and it is the moment when the city's lights bloom most brilliantly. In the past, Ruolin always felt that the lights at night were the warmest, and she believed that the lights at night symbolized a warm home. So, is there a warm home behind every light?Perhaps not, because there may be someone waiting for the return of a lover, such as her. 秋风有些凉意，若琳将窗关上，静静地立在窗前。 一辆辆车从楼下经过，可是却看不到韩皓轩那辆熟悉的车。
也不知在窗前站了多久，站得腿都有些发麻了，若琳才离开，坐到沙发上。 墙上的挂钟“滴答滴答”地走着，时针也已经指向12。 若琳从来没觉得时间过得如此漫长。她此刻的心情跟哭长城的孟姜女真没什么两样了。 她实在忍不住了，拿出手机拨了韩皓轩的电话，电话那端却传来生硬的女声：“对不起，您拨打的电话已关机。” 一副不堪的画面已经在若琳的脑中浮现：阔别多年的恋人不满足于彼此唇瓣的温度，开始贪恋彼此身体的温度。他们关了电话，抛开世界的一切纷扰，私奔到一个无人知晓的旅馆，正在床上翻云覆雨，抵死纠缠…… 不能想下去了，若琳逼迫自己不要胡思乱想，否则头痛得要爆裂了。
夜色渐沉，若琳也有些支撑不住了，索性拿了条薄被盖住自己，坐在沙发上等韩皓轩。 短信进来的提示音划破寂静的夜时，若琳的瞌睡虫顿时飞到了九霄云外，是韩皓轩发来的短信吧？她连忙抓起手机打开阅读。 “我到家了。不想问你为什么哭，可能问了你也不会告诉我。但是你哭的时候我也跟着有点难过。很担心你，你现在没事吧？”是穆景言发来的。 也是哦，韩皓轩哪有发短信的习惯？ 穆景言的短信让若琳感到有些欣慰，友情还是比爱情可靠啊！不过她不想让穆景言掺和这件事，所以她回过去简单几个字：“不要担心，我很好。谢谢你，阿穆。” “如果有什么不爽的事可以把它当垃圾一样倒出来，那样心里会舒坦很多。我愿意做你永远的垃圾桶。” 不一会儿，馨语的短信也进来了：“韩皓轩要是敢欺负你，你一定要告诉我！我替你做主！” 这就是馨语的个性，最好打抱不平了，若琳看得一乐：“我们幸福得很呢，不要操心啦，我还等着吃你和沈扬的喜糖呢！” “你们先结婚，然后我们紧步跟上。” 穆景言和馨语的短信看得若琳心里暖暖的，心情也好了很多。有这样的朋友，人生也算圆满了。
韩皓轩是凌晨三点左右回到家的。 进了屋，开了灯，映入眼帘的是蜷缩在沙发上的若琳，她的身上仅仅搭着一条薄被。 韩皓轩走过去，看到她睡觉时仍旧皱着眉，不由得有点责怪自己没有把她照顾好。 “若琳，睡在沙发上容易着凉。”韩皓轩轻推若琳。 “啊？你回来啦？”若琳睡得并不实，坐起身，看向韩皓轩。韩皓轩的脸色略显疲态，难道是见了旧情人有说不完的话然后一夜未眠吗？ “临时有点急事，手机又没电了，所以没有及时告诉你。对不起，若琳，下次不会这样了。”韩皓轩坐在若琳旁边，紧握住她的手。 若琳抬眼看看挂钟：“你几乎是彻夜不归了，一晚上都在陪客户吗？” “是啊，那几个客户特别难缠，但公司的业务量又大，不能得罪他们啊。不过，我保证，下回我尽量少陪他们，多陪你。”韩皓轩撒谎的时候依旧沉着稳定，看不出一丝慌乱。 果然是精明的商人啊，撒谎都不用打草稿。若琳在心里嗤笑。 若琳扑到他怀里，使劲地呼吸再呼吸，闻到他身上夹杂着酒和女人香水的味道，这更加证实了若琳在KTV看到的那一幕。 “你身上有女人的香水味，不会是背着我做坏事吧？”若琳抬起头，望着韩皓轩，半真半假地说。 “怎么会？我心里只有你一个。你摸摸这里。”韩皓轩将若琳的手按在自己胸口，若琳却抽出了自己的手。 “你快去洗澡吧，我很累，要去休息了。”若琳说着，便抱着被子走向卧室。 “好的。”望着若琳的背影，韩皓轩的愧疚更深了。
其实，韩皓轩根本没陪什么客户，他一晚上都跟安茜在一起。 当初安茜走得那么决绝，韩皓轩从来没有想过她会回来找他。
下午，韩皓轩原本约了客户谈合作事宜，结果客户方的代表之一竟是几年未见的安茜。跟从前相比，她的外貌并没太大改变，只是衣着比较成熟，打扮得也完全是职业女性，不见当初的青涩。 见到安茜时，韩皓轩感到颇为震惊，真是人生何处不相逢啊！ 两人的目光交汇时，韩皓轩被那熟悉的清澈眼眸吸引住了，竟然一时移不开目光。这双眼眸跟若琳的有几分相像，他难道喜欢若琳只是想从若琳身上寻找安茜的影子吗？he asked himself. “好久不见，你还好吗？”直至安茜微笑着伸出手，韩皓轩才回过神来。 “挺好的。你呢？”韩皓轩也伸出手，与她交握。她的手依旧那么柔软细腻，他曾说要呵护这样柔若无骨的手到老的，可是她没有给他这个机会。 “原来你们认识啊，那咱们的合作不是更方便谈了吗？”对方公司的另一个代表杜成说。 “嗯，她是我的一位故人。”韩皓轩故作很平静地说。但是，他内心已经在揣测，此次他和安茜的会面究竟是刻意安排还是无意重逢的了？不知怎么的，他竟然希望是前者，希望安茜是主动提出来谈这次合作的，原因只是为了见他。不过，他又很快否认了这个想法，因为，如果她想见他，她完全不需要如此大费周章，她只需直接来找他就可以了。
合作谈得很顺利，双方很快签订了合作协议。 韩皓轩主动提议请他们晚上去本市最著名的KTV去唱歌，杜成欣然应允，安茜也没有拒绝。
在KTV的包厢里，安茜唱了一首梁静茹的《会呼吸的痛》：“……想念是会呼吸的痛，它活在我身上所有角落，哼你爱的歌会痛，看你的信会痛，连沉默也痛。遗憾是会呼吸的痛，它流在血液中来回滚动，后悔不贴心会痛，恨不懂你会痛，想见不能见最痛……能重来那就好了。” 唱到动情处，脸上居然有泪水滑过，韩皓轩又看到了那个表面坚强内心脆弱的安茜，忍不住伸手，帮她擦去泪痕。 “这几年，你怎么一个电话都不打给我？”安茜的语气里满是哀怨。 “……”韩皓轩有些搞不懂状况了，当初要分手的是她，他试图挽留她，她看也不看他一眼，他真的以为她已经移情别恋了。如此，后来他再跟她联系就显得不像话了吧？ “这些年，我一个人在国外过得并不好，因为总忍不住会想起你。”安茜低声说，然后抚上韩皓轩的手，“我们分开的几年里，你想过我吗？” 当然想过，尤其是你离开的那一年。可是后来发现想念无济于事，所以索性用忙碌的工作麻痹自己。 “我们出去说吧，这里空调开得太足，有点闷。”韩皓轩不留痕迹地拨开安茜的手。其实是考虑到杜成在场，他们谈话不太方便。
两人来到一个比较安静偏僻的角落。 “你以前不是喜欢收藏打火机吗？这是ZIPPO刚出的限量款，送给你。”安茜拉过韩皓轩的手，摊开他的手掌，将一个小巧精致的打火机放在他的掌心。 “我现在没有这个爱好了，烟也戒了。不过，你的礼物就先收下了。” “戒烟了？不像你啊。你的变化真大。”安茜感叹，“那么，你也把对我的爱戒掉了吗？” “差不多吧。我现在有女朋友了，我的爱几乎都给她了。” “真的吗？我不信。那个女孩我见过了，长得有点像我，你不会是在寻找我的替身吧？”安茜不但不恼，而且话语里还有几分得意。 “你跟踪我？”韩皓轩问。 “不是，是回国后，有一次特意去以前我们住过的地方想看看你。碰巧看到你和她下班回来。” “哦，我原以为，你离开后不会再关注我的生活了呢！你这次回来，是不是原本想来看我的笑话的？想看我孤苦一人，结果让你失望了吧？” “我知道，当初离开你是我不对。我也不奢求你的原谅。但是我不希望你依靠从别人身上寻找我的影子来生活。因为，那不是爱情。你找现在的女朋友，是因为还没忘记我吧？” “不要那么自以为是，我早就把你忘了。” “那证明给我看……”安茜话音刚落，韩皓轩还没反应过来，她就已经拉下他的头，将自己的唇贴了过去。 韩皓轩的理智告诉他，要把安茜推开，不要再跟前女友有瓜葛了，可是这个吻却让他不能自已，因为他一下想起了他的初吻。 那是上完晚自习之后，两人到校园的小花园散步，在人工湖的石凳上，他抱着安茜，主动吻了她，她的回应有些生涩，却让他情不自禁。 事隔多年，他仍然记得那个吻，记得他和安茜的那么多初恋时光。
一个热吻过后，安茜告诉他当初离开她并非她的本意，而是他的母亲找过她，逼她离开他。 韩皓轩知道自己的母亲许凌一贯的做事风格，所以他相信她的话。 不过，时过境迁，物是人非，留念过去又有什么意义呢？他只能轻轻拥着她以作安慰。
“我们重新在一起，好吗？”安茜抬眼问韩皓轩。 “不可能了，我们已经，回不去了。”韩皓轩叹口气，“我不能对不起她，她很爱我。” “可是，我也很爱你啊！” “我现在爱的人已经不是你了，对不起。”韩皓轩不留余地地拒绝了她。 安茜的泪水哗啦就下来了，什么叫做“有些人错过就不再”，她算是深刻体会到了。
之后，韩皓轩打算开车回家，但是安茜一边哭一边哀求他陪陪她，并且强调就一个晚上。她说她有很多话想跟他说，并强调就是让他陪她，听她说说话。 好歹也是曾经的恋人一场，韩皓轩不忍拒绝，只好送安茜回家，然后听她唠叨。 说到后来，安茜也困了，就倒在他腿上睡着了。 他把安茜抱到床上，安顿好，然后连忙回家。
他从来都没这么晚回过家，他知道若琳一定会起疑心，但是他不能说他是因为要听前女友倾诉衷肠，所以晚归的。那样只会让若琳更加不安。所以，他撒谎了，他说因为陪客户所以很晚才回来。事实上，现在，安茜的身份真的是他的客户。 不过，他撒谎过后，觉得很内疚。 爱人之间需要的是真诚，但是他为什么连这最基本的一点都做不到呢？
亮着一盏台灯的卧室里，若琳侧躺在床上，两眼望着天花板，只觉得心里难受得紧。 韩皓轩刚才说谎的时候脸不红心不跳的，俨然一副撒谎高手的模样。 除此以外，他还对她撒过别的谎吗？ 陪客户？嗬，陪客户还用陪接吻的吗？还有，身上有女人香水味儿，又是这么晚才回来，恐怕不只是接吻那么简单吧？
韩皓轩洗完澡进屋的时候，若琳依旧背对着他，看都没看他一眼。 往常，要不就是两人一起洗澡一起进卧室休息，要不就是若琳先洗，然后等他，他一进屋，她都会坐起来，对他笑着说：“洗好啦？”然后，他会笑着回答：“是啊，洗得很干净，想不想吃啊？”接着，若琳会来一句“讨厌”，当然是带着女人特有的娇羞的。 可是，今天，若琳的姿势完全意味着一点都不欢迎他。
“亲爱的，我来了。”韩皓轩钻进被窝。 若琳闭着眼睛，纹丝不动，装睡。 见若琳没反应，韩皓轩侧过身，看了看她，发现她睡着了，便不再吱声，也躺下来。 然后，若琳感觉到他的一只手臂伸了过来，轻拥住她，低声说：“如果你是为今天我晚归的事情生气，我向你道歉。以后……我尽量推掉客户。” 他依旧在撒谎！还在说陪客户？ 若琳就想要转身质问他了，但听他说：“我今天也很累，一起睡吧。”若琳也不好再说什么，而且深更半夜的吵架也不好。于是，她只好克制住自己，继续装睡。 他说他很累，翻云覆雨后自然要累咯！若琳在心里冷笑。
不过才睡了一会儿，天就亮了。 若琳一晚上都处于半梦半醒之间，这会儿已经醒了。 韩皓轩仍处于熟睡状态，浓密翩长的眼睫垂下来，乖巧地覆在英俊的脸庞，似蝶翼一般。他睡着的样子是如此俊美无害，纯真得像个孩子，她也不好冲他发火。 望着韩皓轩的睡颜，若琳只能独自神伤。
若琳醒后就再也睡不着了，于是早早起了床，来到客厅。 拉开窗帘，太阳的半边脸已经从地平线露了出来。 天亮了，她的心却停留在黑夜。
其实昨天晚上，她一直坐在客厅沙发等韩皓轩，不过是在等他给她一个合理的解释，哪里知道他给她的理由还是陪客户呢？ 她是去打破沙锅问到底呢？还是继续保持沉默？ 如果韩皓轩在她的追问下坦白交代一切，是不是意味着两个人之间要爆发一场战争，然后两个人之间的关系也要随之结束呢？ 如果保持沉默，就是让自己麻痹，可以让两个人之间的战争暂时免于爆发。
韩皓轩醒来的时候已经是早晨九点了，比平时足足晚起床了一个小时。 “若琳！”韩皓轩一边穿衣起床一边喊道。 no respond. 也是，现在这个时候，若琳应该在单位了。 可是平时如果他想睡懒觉，她都会掀开他的被子，逼他起床送她上班的啊。今天怎么不声不响地就独自上班去了呢？
韩皓轩穿好衣服走进客厅。 餐桌上摆着韩皓轩平常爱吃的早餐，有只碗的下面压了一张纸条：“你昨天回来得晚，应该很累，不忍心叫你起床。再说你也不用像我一样上班一定要打卡。不知道你何时起床，但还是准备了早餐，如果凉了，记得热一下再吃。” 韩皓轩望着纸条上若琳留下的字，心中五味杂陈。 他很感动若琳对他的种种好，也有些懊悔自己对若琳撒了谎话。 只是，他为什么要撒谎呢？如果他跟安茜只是故人重逢叙叙旧，向若琳老实交代也没有什么吧？难道他是做贼心虚吗？他竟然也有些看不清自己的内心了？ 你现在爱的人究竟是谁？是若琳还是安茜的影子？韩皓轩质问自己。
早上，离开家后，若琳乘公车上班。 俗话说“由俭入奢易，由奢入俭难”不是没有道理的，她习惯了每天早上乘韩皓轩的车去上班。现在跟从前一样挤公车反倒有点不适应了。 还好，中途有了空座位，不需要站着了。 或许是晚上睡得不好，刚坐下不久，若琳就睡着了。 短暂的梦伴随着这个浅眠，梦里不断重复的画面便是韩皓轩和那个女人热吻的情景。 最后，若琳是被梦纠缠得喘不过气来醒来的。 不知不觉间，还是坐过了一站。 若琳下车，到马路的另一面乘坐开往相反方向的车。
孰料，在这辆车上，若琳竟然碰到了同事方玲。 正所谓冤家路窄，偏偏在换乘车上遇见，没有早一分钟，也没有晚一分钟。 若琳虽然看到方玲有那么一点尴尬，毕竟原来以方玲的姓名冠名的访谈栏目如今已经易名。 但是若琳还是微笑着跟她打招呼：“早上好。” 方玲并不接话，而是抛给若琳一个问题：“今天沈主任怎么不乘坐韩白马的车，反而屈身来坐公交车呢？”语气里满是冷嘲热讽。 若琳本来因为韩皓轩跟别的女人亲热却对她撒谎的事情心情不爽，这会儿方玲提到韩白马，火气都聚集到胸口，特别想找一个发泄口，但她对自己说：淡定，一定要淡定！ 她平复一下心中的怒气，尽量保持微笑状：“他今天有事。” “唉，真是羡慕你啊！找到韩皓轩那样的白马王子，算是很多女人的终极梦想了。不过，借住韩白马的力量踩在别人头上往上爬是不对的！” "What's the meaning?" “什么意思你最了解对不对，沈主任？”说完，方玲冷哼一声。 “我不明白，你能不能说得清楚一点？” “你是逼得别人走投无路，又要别人撕开伤口给你看吗？把自己的快乐建立在别人的痛苦之上有意思吗？”方玲的脸色变得阴冷，“倘若不是韩皓轩，你现在顶多就是一个籍籍无名的流程编辑，甚至，你有可能已经被开除了。” “请你不要血口喷人！”若琳快要发火了，声音也陡然变大了许多，惹得整个车厢的人都看向这边。 “有什么私人恩怨下车再说啊，不要影响别的乘客。”售票员看不过去了。
若琳和方玲怒目相视，不再说话。 很快就到站了。两人一前一后走下车。
“刚才你在车上说的话，你能不能说明白一点？”若琳拉住疾步前行的方玲。 “事到如今，你还装傻，真是不知道怎么说你好了。你知道不知道韩皓轩的父亲韩建荣是做什么的？”方玲一脸的不耐烦。 “不是传媒大亨吗？” “知道这个不就结了。老子是传媒界的老大，儿子在传媒界当然多少有点名气，而且说话也有分量，他只需动动手指头，便可让我们这些从事传媒工作的人衣食不保。” “不会的，他不会插手我的工作的，何况他是从事电子商务的。”若琳摇头。 “会不会只有你知道咯。”说完，方玲便不再理睬若琳，自顾自地朝着公司大楼大步地走去。
若琳到了公司打完卡，便跑到阳台给韩皓轩电话，不能怪她急性子，实在是她太在乎自己现在的工作究竟是靠自己的努力还是靠韩皓轩的推波助澜。 “若琳，早餐很好吃，谢谢。”电话接通后，韩皓轩说的第一句话。 “谢谢”这个词若琳已经好长时间没听韩皓轩说了，可是此时他却对她说谢谢，口气听着竟有些生疏。是不是见过旧爱之后还是觉得旧爱好，然后对她就有隔阂了呢？ “早知道不该为你做早餐的。我才不要见鬼的'谢谢'呢！” 若琳的口气有点冲，韩皓轩也听出了她话里不快，便说：“还在为我昨天晚上回来得晚生气吗？早上一声不响就提前独自出门了，是不是也是因为这件事生气？” “是的。”若琳不否认此刻口气不好与他晚归有关，“不过，我打电话给你，主要是想问你，我现在得到了编辑部主任的职位与你有关吗？对了，我不想听你太多解释，你只需要回答有还是没有。” “……没有。”韩皓轩心里一惊，他不是叮嘱过方强不要把这件事说出去的吗？ “真的没有？我的工作完全与你无关，是这样没错吧？”若琳不放心地又问了两遍。 “是啊，我对传媒事业不感兴趣
