Accidentally provoking the spring tide

Chapter 45. Didn't you come back to get some documents?
"Clang-"

The sudden noise drew the attention of everyone present.

Shao Ming's face paled slightly as he picked up the overturned water glass beside him: "Sorry."

"Quickly get some paper to wipe it off, clothes don't dry easily in this weather." Hou Taojiu quickly handed the man some paper.

Shao Ming pursed his lips, pulled out a few tissues, and silently wiped away the water stains that were about to drip from the table.

Jiang Jixu stared at him for a while without saying a word.

She never expected to run into Bai Xiaoxiao's ex-boyfriend.

She had never met Shao Ming in person, only seen photos of him and Bai Xiaoxiao.

It had been quite a while, and Shao Ming was much more mature than he was then, and he was even wearing glasses, so Jiang Jixu wasn't sure for a moment.

It wasn't until Shao Ming took off his glasses that she was certain the person in front of her was the same boy in the photo Bai Xiaoxiao had sent her.

Bai Xiaoxiao was different from her. She had an outgoing personality and dated countless boyfriends, living a life of unrequited love.

He only stumbled on one person.

Jiang Jixu still remembers the night Bai Xiaoxiao broke up with her boyfriend. He called her out, and the two of them drove to the top of the mountain and bought a whole case of beer. She only drank one bottle.

Bai Xiaoxiao took care of the rest.

Tears streamed down my face as I drank.

Jiang Jixu once asked her, "If it's so painful, why did you take the initiative to break up?"

Bai Xiaoxiao gripped the bottle in her hand, her tone frighteningly calm.

"I can't hold him back."

"Ji Xu is studying law. After passing the bar exam, he will become an excellent lawyer."

“This is his ideal, and I cannot make him give up his ideal or change his plans because of myself.”

“I can’t be responsible for his life.” Bai Xiaoxiao looked at the sky that was gradually turning white. “It would be too heavy a burden for both him and me.”

Jiang Jixu remained silent.

Her love was different from Bai Xiaoxiao's.

Bai Xiaoxiao appears carefree but is actually quite timid.

Every decision made was the result of careful consideration.

She doesn't seem to make decisions easily, but once she sets her mind on something or someone, no matter what others say, they can't change Jiang Jixu's mind.

Especially in matters of the heart, Bai Xiaoxiao always says that Jiang Jixu is like a stubborn mule.

They just keep charging forward, not afraid of hurting themselves.

……

The atmosphere was a bit quieter in the second half, but overall it was still quite enjoyable.

Before leaving, Jiang Jixu suddenly thought of something, looked at Lu Lishen, blinked, and asked in confusion.

"Didn't you come here to pick up some documents?"

Did your roommate bring her?

As he spoke, he turned to look at the people following behind him.

Hou Taojiu looked bewildered, his eyes filled with deep confusion.

Jiang Wang, who was standing next to him, chuckled upon hearing this, glanced at the man sideways, and patted Lu Lishen on the shoulder as he passed by him.

He made a pretentious sigh.

His eyes were full of schadenfreude.

So you tried to show off, and now you've messed it up!

Lu Lishen, however, calmly took out a USB flash drive he had prepared in advance from his pocket.

"Yes, Shao Ming gave it to me a while ago."

Shao Ming, who was suddenly called out: ...

Are you kidding me? You don't even give me a heads-up before you start acting?

He mentally complained, but outwardly smiled and cooperated.

"Yes, I gave it to him as soon as he arrived."

Jiang Jixu nodded: "That's good."

Shao Ming and the others prepared to return to their dormitory.

Jiang Jixu looked at Jiang Wang: "Are you going home tonight?"

Jiang Wang put his hands behind his head: "Forget it, I'm afraid I'll end up fighting with someone."

Upon hearing this, Lu Lishen raised an eyebrow slightly.

It's as if it's saying, "You think you can beat me?"

Seeing how annoying he looked, Jiang Wang ignored him, said goodbye to Jiang Jixu, and turned to leave.

"Then we'll head back too." Shao Ming and the others nodded to the two of them.

Only after they had walked away did Lu Lishen and Jiang Jixu leave.

No one noticed that a man was staring at them from a short distance away.

"Mr. Lin, Mr. Lin?"

"Hmm." Lin Feng suddenly snapped back to reality, his eyes filled with surprise and uncertainty. "Our location is right next to University A, which will be very convenient for your company to recruit talent in the future..."

The people around him were still talking non-stop, but Lin Feng had no interest in listening anymore.

My mind is filled with the images I just saw.

He saw Jiang Wang, proving that he hadn't been mistaken; the woman was indeed Jiang Jixu.

But why is Jiang Jixu here?

And she was with a group of men?
Lin Feng's head was buzzing.

Over the years, apart from him, Ji Yanci, and Jiang Wang, Jiang Jixu has had almost no other women around him.

She rarely speaks to other boys unless absolutely necessary.

Jiang Jixu's heart and eyes were filled with Ji Yanci, as if her eyes could only see Ji Yanci, the only man.

Over time, Lin Feng even forgot that Jiang Jixu had been receiving love letters non-stop since junior high school.

The first thing the girl does when she arrives at school in the morning is not to open her textbooks, but to organize the pink envelopes that fill her drawer.

When did Jiang Jixu stop receiving love letters?

Lin Feng racked his brains to recall.

I finally remembered.

It all started when Ji Yanci lost his temper in class because his desk was surrounded by boys asking Jiang Jixu questions.

Jiang Jixu, a little girl, went and got a buzz cut and wore a baggy school uniform. Apart from having more delicate features and better skin than the boys, she was no different from a tomboy.

She never received another love letter after that.

Later, as soon as her hair grew a little longer, the girl went to get it cut.

From junior high school until the end of the college entrance examination, her hair never grew past her shoulders.

Even in college, it remains the same.

Until the summer after her freshman year, when Jiang Jixu went abroad to visit Ji Yanci, she never cut her hair short again after returning.

until now.

A complex emotion flashed in Lin Feng's eyes.

He dismissed the people next to him.

Then he took out his phone, intending to call Ji Yanci and tell him that Jiang Jixu had eaten with other boys.

But the moment the call connected, he suddenly thought of the scene where Ji Yanci walked out of He Yongwen's room with his shirt wet.

Her lips were slightly pursed.

Swipe right to hang up the phone and exit the interface.

Then, with a complicated expression, he looked in the direction where Jiang Jixu and Lu Lishen had left.

Since the Jiang and Ji families have cancelled their marriage alliance, it means that there is no possibility between Jiang Jixu and Ji Yanci.

Why does he always have to mention Jiang Jixu in front of Ji Yanci?

Lin Feng turned and left.

Sitting in the car, Jiang Jixu was stunned when he saw the familiar figure disappear into the street.

"what happened?"

Lu Lishen followed her gaze but found nothing unusual.

Jiang Jixu shook his head and fastened his seatbelt: "It's nothing."

"I mistook you for someone else."

Lu Lishen narrowed his eyes slightly, his fingertips resting on the steering wheel, tapping it lightly.

"Since you've misjudged it, don't take it to heart."

Jiang Jixu remained silent for a moment, then nodded, agreeing with his statement.

"indeed."

We shouldn't take it to heart anymore.

The car started slowly.

Gradually, it entered the traffic flow.

On the other side, Ji Yanci, who had just finished a meeting, rubbed his temples, opened his phone and saw a missed call from Lin Feng, and dialed it back.

When the call was connected, he said in a tired voice, "What do you want?"

Lin Feng was silent for a moment, then carefully asked, "A-Ci, let me ask you a question from the heart: who do you like now?"

Ji Yanci paused, his handsome eyes narrowing slightly.

Why are you asking this?

Lin Feng pursed his lips and lowered his voice: "I know why you went to He Yongwen, it's because she looks like—"

"Lin Feng."

The man's voice on the phone had a cold undertone.

"You're out of line."
