I'm waiting for you in my memory

Chapter 9
Situ Jue's stay at her parents' house was far longer than she expected, and she was a little late when she arrived at the dinner place she had agreed with Wu Jiang.According to the table number that Wu Jiang told her on the phone earlier, she searched all the way. The seat was reserved by Mr. Wu, but there was no one there.

He clearly said that he had arrived and was waiting for her to come.Situ Jue sat down alone and waited for a while, feeling bored, he picked up the phone and called Wu Jiang.As soon as the call was connected, the classic ringtone of Wu Jiang's mobile phone came faintly not far away, and stopped abruptly after a few rings.

Situ Jue looked at the phone in his hand that was hung up at the same time, and suddenly felt suspicious. She had never been a person who believed in coincidences, and Wu Jiang had known her for many years, and they had always been honest with each other. He decided to stand up and follow the sound to find him.

The source of the sound was a corner separated by a screen more than a dozen steps away. Just as Situ Jue went around, he happened to meet Wu Jiang who was hurriedly coming out from behind the screen.The moment Wu Jiang saw her, his face changed slightly.

"What's the matter with you?" Situ Jue asked in bewilderment.

"It's nothing, I met an acquaintance, let's say hello." Wu Jiang walked up to Situ Jue, patted her on the arm, then half pushed her back and said with a smile, "Isn't it that you are still blocking the road in the city?" Are you ready? Why are you here so soon?"

From his appearance, it seemed that he didn't want her to stay here for a long time, and was eager to lead her away. This was by no means Wu Jiang's usual style.Situ Jue's heart was full of alarm bells, but after all, everyone was an adult, and she knew that good friends had to leave room for each other. She was about to turn around, but it was still too late, and another person behind the screen had already appeared in her peripheral vision .

In all fairness, she didn't immediately recognize who this person was. At first glance, she felt that she was not the future Mrs. Wu she had seen in the photo, but a woman of her own age, with a slender figure and delicate clothes. However, the woman looked The look in her eyes and Wu Jiang's attitude quickly gave her the answer in her heart.

Tan Shaocheng.

I don't know whether it's absurd or lucky, but a person who I thought I recognized in ashes back then is gradually blurring in my memory.

"It really is you, Situ. I'm guessing for whom Wu Jiang had to avoid me like this." Tan Shaocheng approached with a smile on his face.

However, Situ Jue gently grabbed Wu Jiang's hand, and gave him a look that was both reproachful and incomprehensible.

"What are you?"

Wu Jiang had obviously anticipated this situation, that's why he gripped Situ's arm so tightly, as if he was afraid that if he let go, he would fall into an unmanageable situation.

Of course he understands what Situ is thinking. Now that this is the situation, he simply spread his hands at Situ and said, "I didn't expect to meet her here. The reason why I avoid you is because I don't know how to deal with you." Be careful if you lose your appetite, you won’t be able to make the same mistakes again.”

His voice was so soft that the three of them could hear him clearly.

Only then did Situ Jue's expression soften a little, and he didn't look at the woman, but said to Wu Jiang with a half-smile: "Don't you know that you should drive away the flies when they come, the more you avoid them, the more disgusting you will be."

Tan Shaocheng quietly listened to their sarcasm, and was not annoyed. He lowered his head and put a strand of hair behind his ear, still smiling, "Why bother, Situ, we met once, as far as I know , you haven’t come back for many years, right? Why didn’t you say hello, everyone just got together, why bother to see outsiders like that?”

Situ Jue said: "It's not speculative. I haven't been back for long this time. I'm afraid I'll waste time."

"I just planned to give a wedding gift to the groom tomorrow, but I never expected to meet you. Isn't this our fate? How are you doing now? Will it be as good as Dr. Wu... Tan Shaocheng smiled again in the middle of speaking, "However, with your conditions, you don't have to worry about finding good ones abroad, I'm afraid you won't settle down so quickly."

Since the other party was so interested in talking, Situ Jue had no choice but to accompany him to the end. She took a closer look at Tan Shaocheng with a sweet smile, and said following the other party's words: "The makeup is so beautiful, I can't even recognize it at first glance. No wonder Said, "Scholar farewell for three days, you should look at them with admiration". From what you said, you must have found a good one and are ready to make a decision? Congratulations, congratulations, I don't know which young master Xiaokai has such a good eye for knowing people? "

Tan Shaocheng answered irrelevantly, and smiled and said, "You should have heard that I work in EG now, and we are colleagues again. We will also meet at the seminar the day after tomorrow, so we can communicate more."

Situ Jue of the EG company knew about it. It was also a well-known big pharmaceutical company in the industry. I heard that it is quite active in the domestic market.

She bluntly expressed her surprise, and she has heard about "EG" for a long time, "But to be honest, I just heard you talk about it, and only then did I know where you are now in high school. I don't know why you think I should know about it?"

Tan Shaocheng couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when he heard the words, her eyes passed over Wu Jiang, who looked indifferent.So she put away her smile and said leisurely: "Situ, I know you still have a grudge against me, but fate just likes to put us together, or else it's because enemies don't get together, and I can't help it." As she said that, she also smiled self-deprecatingly, "We might as well open the skylight and speak honestly. You should know that since the day we met, I have always envied you. You are better than me in everything, including family background, studies, and appearance. , even feelings. Everyone revolves around you, everyone likes you. For a person like me, you are like a banner waving in the wind in front of me, and I have been chasing after you. You can't stop rushing forward for a day. Maybe you feel that you are wronged by a somersault, but have you ever thought about it? Even so, it took me more than ten years to stand with you today on the same starting line."

Situ Jue just felt incredible, "I never thought of comparing myself with you."

"But that doesn't mean I haven't thought about it." Tan Shaocheng replied with raised eyebrows.This is an expression that Situ Jue is very familiar with, and it is also an expression that the quiet and reserved Tan Shaocheng has never had before.Situ Jue suddenly understood where the lingering déjà vu on Tan Shaocheng came from. Her tone of voice, the look on her brows, the style of her hair, and the style of her clothes were all so similar to the former Situ Jue. The perfume was also Situ Jue's favorite flavor back then.What kind of perseverance can make a girl unremittingly pursue the banner in her heart until she believes that the banner is finally stepped on by her?At least in the eyes of Tan Shaocheng in front of him, she can finally stand on an equal or even surpassed horizon and talk to the former "flag". This is Tan Shaocheng's own pride.No wonder this unexpected reunion, not only did she not avoid the slightest bit of embarrassment, but her eyes were full of light.Isn't this the day she's been waiting for?

Situ Jue shook his head, "You didn't understand me, I said that I never thought of comparing myself with you, because comparing with someone like you would make me feel ashamed."

She spoke clearly.Tan Shaocheng's face, who had been calm and calm from the beginning to the end, and felt that everything was under control, finally changed color unbearably after this sentence.It was Situ Jue like this, aggressive and arrogant, who once made her grit her teeth until she couldn't sleep, and also made her jealous so much that she couldn't control herself.

Tan Shaocheng hated Situ Jue, and also hated himself who longed to be Situ Jue.She has worked so hard to have what she is today, and in the eyes of others, she is confident, courageous, smart, and beautiful, but all this painstaking planning collapsed in an instant under the contempt from Situ Jue's bones, and she was like an ugly duckling that was beaten back to its original form .

Tan Shaocheng suppressed that breath, and adjusted his shortness of breath, "You are still so deceptive. Situ Jue, I know you have always looked down on me, because I was not born with a golden spoon in my mouth like you, but..."

"You're wrong again." Situ Jue interrupted her words that had become unsteady, "Your background has never changed, but I look down on you more and more. From this, it seems that it's not because of your birth. What kind of family are you in?"

Wu Jiang, who had been silent all this time, also opened his mouth at this time, "Shaocheng, I advise you not to talk about your life experience. There are many people who were born poorer than you, but not everyone has the same means as you. In the past Situ and I don't want to mention the matter anymore, what else do you want? Don't find out in the end that the person who looks down on your origin the most is actually yourself. "

Tan Shaocheng smiled bitterly, "Since we have reached this point, there is no point in talking further." She looked at Situ Jue again, "It doesn't matter if you hate me, but I will finally say from my conscience, what is Qiyun to you You know what you think, just take it as my fault, can you make him feel better?"

Situ Jue said coldly: "This has nothing to do with you, I hate you, but only in this matter, I don't hate you, because you are someone else; and I will not forgive him even if I die, because He is Yao Qiyun."

Tan Shaocheng brushed past them, and said softly to Wu Jiang before leaving: "Happy wedding, I hope you like my gift."

Wu Jiang and Situ Jue just returned to the dining table. It was already late, but the two of them had no interest in eating, so they ordered some simple meals.Wu Jiang sat across from Situ Jue, and only under the light could he see the strangeness on her face.

"What's wrong with your face? Why did you make it like this when you got home...was your dad hitting you again?"
