I'm waiting for you in my memory

Chapter 70
After Situ Jue finished dressing up, Yao Qiyun was still sitting there in messy clothes.

She stretched out her index finger to rub against his lips, such an intimate gesture, just because she hated that her own lipstick still left traces on his body.

He said, "Ah Jue, in fact, I have always loved you."

It wasn't that he was pushed to the last juncture, Yao Qiyun couldn't say such a thing.

But he didn't know that what supported Situ Jue to survive the most desperate days was precisely the hatred for him.

Stuck alone in that hot and humid small Southeast Asian country, waiting for three weeks without any news; doing odd jobs in her elderly "husband"'s Chinese shop, worrying all day long about the random checks by the immigration bureau, thinking that she would never be able to return home for the rest of her life. I will spend time like this; when I have no identity, no relatives, half-spoken language, savings are gradually dwindling, and the future is like a mirror, and I am sick again; when I am seriously ill, I dare not even go to the hospital, and I can only rely on my own When the resistance was overpowering... She told herself that she couldn't just fall down like this, she chose the path herself, even if she was asking for trouble, she had to go to the end with her eyes closed and in the dark.She wants to let herself live well, live a far better life than Yao Qiyun, only in this way can she prove that her reckless escape was not a complete mistake.

Yao Qiyun grabbed her hand and kept it on his lips, "If you don't want to stay, I can go with you."

Situ Jue laughed as if hearing the Arabian Nights.

"You don't believe I can go with you?" Yao Qiyun asked anxiously.No wonder she didn't believe it, he knew it was difficult, but if there was only this chance, there was no resolution he couldn't make.

Situ Jue withdrew his hand, "I believe, you can leave or stay, but you and I will never be 'together' again."

He raised his head, as if it took a lot of effort to understand what she said, and he was still trying to die.

"What do you want? Give me a word. Don't say there is no possibility."

She remembered that she hadn't begged him that way back then.

Situ Jue said: "I cried and begged you to believe me seven years ago, but when you walked away with Tan Shaocheng in front of me, did you give me a possibility? Yao Qiyun, now you ask me what I want, then Let me tell you, unless you go back in time, unless you can go back to seven years ago and find that stupid Situ Jue back then! Only she will be waiting for you in the 'behind time'. The problem is, you can go back ?"

Of course he couldn't go back, if people could really travel freely in time, then he wouldn't still be here now.

One day five years ago, after dinner, Situ Jue, who hadn't heard from her, made her first phone call to her family, and her mother answered the phone.The phone call took less than 3 minutes. After hanging up, Xue Shaoping sat by the coffee table for a long time.Yao Qiyun, who has held his breath and dared not move since he knew who was calling the call, saw that Situ Jiuan was just keeping his head down and smoking beside him, and couldn't care about anything else, so he asked Situ Jue anxiously. What did you say.

Xue Shaoping didn't repeat the details of the call too much, she forced a smile and said: "I didn't say anything, I just want us to know that she is at least still alive in this world."

In fact, what Yao Qiyun really cares about is whether Situ Jue mentioned him in those 3 minutes.

But he dared not ask.Because he knows, definitely not.

That night, Situ Jiu'an and his wife went upstairs to rest early.Yao Qiyun anxiously went to check the area of ​​the call, and finally he was able to determine which corner of the earth she was in. He even made up his mind to fly there at the fastest speed, no matter what, he must find her and bring her back .

He dialed back that number, hoping it wasn't a public phone by chance.Unexpectedly, after the call was connected, he immediately heard the voice that never dissipated the echo in his mind, and he couldn't believe that he was so lucky.

Situ Jue hung up the phone soon after realizing it was him, and Yao Qiyun kept calling, and finally she stopped hanging up once.He plucked up the courage to tell his regrets and longings, saying that he and Tan Shaocheng had tried before, just like he had tried to forget her, but it couldn't be done, it was always just a little short... He vowed not to lie to himself again, as if he wanted to finish all his life's words before Situ Jue lost his patience.After talking a lot, Situ Jue didn't interrupt him from the beginning to the end, only the slight noise and footsteps on the other end of the phone.Until a young man's voice came, he told Yao Qiyun that he was Situ Jue's roommate, after Situ Jue answered the phone, he put the receiver aside and went out.He was afraid that Yao Qiyun, who suddenly became quiet, would not be able to understand what he said, so he repeated it in standard Chinese.

From then on, Yao Qiyun lost the courage to look for her.She let him speak, but she lost interest in every word he said.

The aunt who had been witnessing this process at the kitchen door rubbed her hands on the apron dumbly.She looked a little sad, "If I knew you were so bewildered, I might as well not have let her go."

Yao Qiyun let go of the hand he had been holding on to, his aunt was his relative, he couldn't do anything to her, and he shouldn't blame others for his despair and anger.He pointed to the door, and said only one word to the pale Aunt Yao: "Get lost!"

He didn't tell anyone about the phone call, including Situ Jiu'an and his wife.Not long after, at his insistence, Aunt Yao returned to her hometown to reunite with her family.Yao Qiyun also moved out of Situ's house, although Situ Jiu'an and his wife had already said that from now on they would only have his son.Only on Fridays, he would return to this house for dinner regardless of the weather, and every time it happened to catch up with Situ Jue's routine phone call to greet his parents, but he never had a single word exchange with her.

As early as that time, he should have come to his senses, but the reunion was too provocative to miss, when she was right in front of him, he actually thought that there was a chance to do it all over again.

The one standing in front of him was no longer his "A Jue", he was the only one still obsessed with the past, the real Situ Jue had already died since the day he left home.

Yao Qiyun returned to the real world, stood up indifferently and tidied himself up.

"I should go. Your mother's back pain broke out badly last night. I agreed to buy her medicine back. There is a meeting in the company early tomorrow morning. Say happy wedding to Wu Jiang for me."

Situ Jue followed Yao Qiyun out and was almost bumped by someone at the bathroom door. The girl Situ Jue knew, she was not only the bridesmaid tonight, but also the person Linxi had always wanted to meet.The girl's gait was sloppy, she drank a lot presumably, her eyes were red, she looked like she had cried, but she didn't seem to care about being sad at this moment, she just pointed at the direction Yao Qiyun had just walked out, and asked blankly: "I didn't Are you mistaken, is this the women's restroom?"

Situ Jue helped her up, and said with a smile, "It's as embarrassing as falling in the women's toilet. If you drink too much, walk slower."

The banquet was coming to an end, and most of the congratulatory guests had left. Cousin ABC rushed back from the outside in a hurry. He made a special trip to buy a pair of new shoes for Situ Jue.Situ Jue was inconvenient to ignore his kindness, so he simply accepted it graciously. After trying it on, the size turned out to be exactly the same, so he thanked him again and again.

Seeing Situ Jue, Lin Jing breathed a sigh of relief, picked up her coat and stood up, "If you don't come back again, I'll think you were kidnapped in the bathroom. I'll go see someone off first, or you wait here for a while, I will Come back and take you back to the hotel."

Situ Jue smiled maliciously, "Don't think I don't know what you're thinking" cunningly, "Go quickly, what should you do, don't come back."

Lin Jing also stopped being polite, and said with a smile: "The plane is the day after tomorrow, right? I'll see you off then."

After Lin Jing left, Situ Jue and ABC cousin sat back to their original seats and chatted for a while. Xiaogen and Sanpi, who were about to leave, also greeted Situ Jue and said goodbye as they passed their table.Situ Jue looked at their table, the people had already dispersed.

She turned her head and said "goodbye" to them, just in time to see Sanpi poking Xiaogen with her hand, Xiaogen's reaction was slow, and with a ouch, Situ Jue immediately understood the meaning of Sanpi's action, and he saw a person .

Tan Shaocheng also attended the wedding banquet.

Tan Shaocheng was getting up from her seat and walking towards the main entrance of the banquet hall, while the bride who had just sent her bridesmaids away was returning alone from that direction.Wu Jiang was still being dragged to drink by a group of colleagues, Situ Jue quickly walked towards them.

"Ruan Ruan." She called the bride from a distance.

Ruan Ruan Xun turned her head, smiled and walked towards Situ Jue.

Situ Jue also went up to him, pulled Ruan Ruan, and evenly used his body to separate the approaching Tan Shaocheng.

"Situ, I thought you left beforehand." Ruan Ruan said, holding up the hem of her dress.

"I'm not in a hurry, I came all the way here for your wedding, how could I leave early?" Situ Jue pointed in the direction of Wu Jiang, "I just saw the groom looking for you, hurry over."

Ruan Ruan was taken aback, and glanced behind Situ Jue.Tan Shaocheng stood aside with a smile, and Ruan Ruan returned her polite smile and walked slowly towards her new husband.

"You don't have to be so nervous, I just want to say congratulations to the bride." Tan Shaocheng watched Ruan Ruan leave, and said softly to Situ Jue.

"Your 'blessing' is enough to give to Wu Jiang, no one can bear such a heavy gift a second time." Situ Jue disagreed.

"I showed Wu Jiang those things not to destroy anyone's happiness. He has the right to know before marriage."

"Who do you think you are, and when will it be your turn to empower him?"

"Situ Jue, I don't want to quarrel with you. After so many years of arguing, it's enough. Besides, there's no need for that now." Tan Shaocheng turned his head and waved. After a while, a man walked up to her from the crowd.

"I was about to introduce you, this is my fiancé Fu Zhishi." She took the man's hand, "Zhishi, this is my college classmate, Situ."

The man was tall, about 40 years old, slightly fat, and wiped the sweat on his forehead with a handkerchief from time to time in the hall with a moderate temperature.His appearance is not outstanding, even a little mediocre, but his manners are very decent. After hearing Tan Shaocheng's introduction, he slightly nodded at Situ Jue, with a kind of reservedness and arrogance unique to those who have been in high positions for many years. Situ Jue had no doubts in the scene where the individual surrounded him in the center of the conversation, Tan Shaocheng finally found the "beautiful man" in her eyes.

"Mr. Fu is really discerning, you look like a good match." Situ Jue complimented.

Tan Shaocheng pretended not to understand what she said, and said with a slight smile: "We are all colleagues, so we have to deal with each other. Situ, have I told you that he is..."

"Mr. Fu is the great-grandson of Mr. Fu Xuecheng, the CEO of EG?" Situ Jue took over.

Tan Shaocheng raised his eyebrows, with a little surprise, "I don't even remember that I said it. Or...you know each other?"

Fu Zhishi sized up Situ Jue for a while, his eyes still blank.

Situ Jue explained with a smile, "Of course Mr. Fu doesn't know me. But the Fu family is well-known, and Jingshu also mentioned to me their family's seniority arrangement, learning, emphasizing, mirroring, reaching, and already. I remember correctly, right? ?”

As soon as these words came out, even Fu Zhishi's expression changed, the beads of sweat on his forehead became thicker, and the eyes he looked at Situ Jue became a little more wary.

"It turns out that Miss Situ knows my seventh uncle."

"It's just ordinary friends, but in the past few years, thanks to Jingshu who took care of him everywhere. Before returning to China, I had dinner with him once, and he also mentioned that EG had just been taken over by a very capable nephew of his. Maybe we will meet in person. I was looking for an opportunity to visit, but I didn’t expect to meet here, and it’s really a coincidence.”

"Where is it, I should treat Uncle Qi's friends well. How many days has Miss Situ been back to China? You are also in Shaocheng. It's rare that you are old classmates, and you didn't remind me." Fu Zhishi was slightly dissatisfied with his body. The little woman beside said.

Tan Shaocheng was still smiling, but that smile was already forced.

Situ Jue sneered secretly in his heart, no wonder Tan Shaocheng wanted to suffer from this dumbness, she was so focused on showing her wishful husband, how could she expect this to happen.
