Chapter 126 Still Love Her, No Way
Lu Zhengnan could hardly believe that he would meet Ye Chuxiao again here, and was at a loss for a while.

It wasn't until the customer around me reminded me that I suddenly came back to my senses and smiled awkwardly: "Oh, sorry, I met a friend."

He nodded to Ye Chuxiao and settled down with the client first, he hesitated for a while, then apologized to the client, then went over and walked to Ye Chuxiao's table.

"Why are you here?" he asked.

"Come over here to discuss a project," she replied.

The words on both sides were short and polite.

Then fell silent again.

After a while, it was Ye Chuxiao's turn to ask, "What about you?"

"I'm also here to talk about things." After he answered, he couldn't find anything to talk about, and finally raised his hand: "Then I... I'll go there first."

Ye Chuxiao nodded and watched him leave in a daze. It took a long time before she returned to her seat. When she looked at the lake outside the window again, she lost her previous state of mind. not calm.

Lu Zhengnan was on the other side, talking with the client, but his eyes unconsciously looked at the person by the window from time to time through the carved wooden lattice.

When he finally finished talking, he glanced at her again. She didn't leave, and she was still sitting where she was.

Are you waiting for him?His heart skipped a beat, but he couldn't believe it.

She got up to send the client out, walked to the door and turned around, and her eyes met again. She was looking at this side with a sad look in her eyes.

She is really waiting for him.Feeling unspeakable in his heart, he apologized to the client, saying that he still has some things to do, and see you later.

I met a friend when I entered the door, and now I stay to reminisce about the old days. The customer is not incomprehensible, so he left first.

He turned back and sat down opposite Ye Chuxiao.

The moment he turned around, her heart beat fast, but he was really sitting opposite her, but he didn't know what to say.

"All these years, are you okay?" He broke the silence first.

"Fortunately, I studied for another two years." She replied softly, playing with the blue and white tea bowl lid with her fingertips.

"Is Mi Lier okay?" He knew that if Mi Lier was not well, perhaps no one would be able to see her again in this life.

"Well, it's good to go to school in Hong Kong." She slowly raised her eyes and looked at him: "What about you?"

"I..." He paused, and smiled after a while: "I'm fine, too."

Such a dialogue made it seem like there was an invisible barrier between the two.

Ye Chuxiao felt bored and stood up: "Let's go outside for a walk."

Lu Zhengnan nodded, and the two went out, walking side by side, but kept a distance from each other, neither close nor far.

In early spring, the humid water vapor wraps around the body, making it a bit cold.She put her hands in the pockets of her coat, and her delicate face was half hidden in the collar of the coat, making her look extremely pitiful.

Two or three years later, she is still the same as before, nothing has changed.Lu Zhengnan looked at her quietly from the corner of his eye, feeling emotional in his heart.

Walking on the Broken Bridge, according to the legend, this is the place where the White Snake and Xu Xian met. An umbrella led to a love affair, but even such a vigorous love ended in a bleak end.

Just like them.

Ye Chuxiao looked at the lake water, lost his mind for a long time, and behind her, Lu Zhengnan also looked at her, lost his mind for a long time.

But after all, he woke up first, and said: "It's windy on the water, and it's easy to catch cold, let's go back."

This time, he was the first to walk in front, while she was behind, watching his back.

The two walked down the broken bridge one after the other, and he asked, "Where are you going next, I'll see you off."

Ye Chuxiao wanted to refuse at first, but the word "no need" was repeated on her lips, she just couldn't say it, and finally turned into: "I want to go back to the hotel."

He froze for a moment, but nodded: "Okay."

Asking her to wait on the side of the road, he went to pick up the car. After a while, it was an old Honda Accord that drove up to her.

She thought of the Land Rover he used to have, and was a little surprised.

"Come on." The car window slid down, and he greeted her, with a trace of imperceptible loneliness in his eyes.

When she got into the car, he reminded her to fasten her seat belt. She felt a little lost. Before she changed it, he would definitely lean over and fasten it for her himself.

What was once intimacy has now become estrangement.

The car was driving slowly, because Zhejiang University was nearby, and school had just started now, and there were occasional young couples who reunited on the side of the road after being separated for a winter vacation, and they were so sweet that others envied them.

Sitting in the car, she and he couldn't help feeling hurt by the scene, but neither of them showed it. One pretended to concentrate on driving, and the other pretended to look out the window.

It would be okay if we reached our destination all the way like this, but there was a traffic jam on the road.The sky seems to be specially designed to create an atmosphere. The weather was fine, but it was covered with dark clouds, and it started to rain after a while.

When it rains, the traffic is naturally even worse, Lu Zhengnan smiled: "I'm afraid it will be a protracted battle."

Ye Chuxiao also smiled, not knowing what to say.

The rain hit the roof of the car with a bang, which made the car very quiet.

For men and women who have had such a past, such silence is too easy to breed something, such as... ambiguity.

The expressions of the two people gradually became a little uncomfortable. Ye Chuxiao brushed his hair and found a topic: "Are you usually in Hangzhou?"

"Well, I work here." Lu Zhengnan replied.

"Why did you come to Hangzhou?" Ye Chuxiao asked again.

Lu Zhengnan's eyes flickered, and he was about to speak when his cell phone rang suddenly.

The moment he picked it up, Ye Chuxiao vaguely heard a female voice over there.

"Well...the talk was okay..."

"It's raining and there's a traffic jam...I'll be back soon..."

"It's okay...don't worry..."

There was a natural familiarity in his tone, Ye Chuxiao felt a little strange in his heart, and unconsciously clenched the bag belt tightly.

And after he finished making the phone call, he turned his head and caught a glimpse of her subtle movement, he was startled, and finally said nothing.

The rain gradually subsided, and the traffic began to squirm slowly, Ye Chuxiao suddenly said: "Put me down after passing the intersection in front, I think there is a good store over there, anyway, I have nothing to do when I go back to the hotel by myself, why don't you just go to the hotel?" Go shopping."

Lu Zhengnan was silent for a while, and replied: "Okay."

For the next few minutes, no one spoke. Finally, when the car got there, he found a place to stop. She said "thank you" and got out of the car.

After walking forward in a hurry with her head down, she couldn't help but turn back again, but his car had already left.

Yes, these years, Eric is by her side, and who is by his side?
Even if you really want to pick up the lost time, you may not be able to pick it up.

At this moment, Lu Zhengnan didn't turn his head, he didn't even look at her in the rearview mirror, and just kept driving like this.

He can't look back, let her feel that he has no attachment, so she can walk away with peace of mind...

Half an hour later, his car stopped in front of an office building, and he went up to the seventh floor. This was a trading company, and the boss was the one who called him just now, Qin Yue.

After what happened in Beijing, he stayed at home for more than half a year before the rumors finally died down. At that time, he was empty-handed.

I also thought about going back to the ancient city, but Qizhen will definitely suppress everywhere, and Beijing is also a place of right and wrong, so in the end, he came to this irrelevant city, where no one knows his past, and he can start all over again.

Starting from the lowest level of sales, he was exposed to the wind and the sun, and he found out that he thought he was self-made, but in fact he was not. Behind such a smooth sailing, there is a lot of light from his family background.

It is far more difficult than he imagined to start from the real grassroots.

The once proud son of heaven fell into the mud, and the huge gap and frustration during the period made him inevitably frustrated. Thanks to Qin Yue, she was the noble person he met at the most desperate moment, so he took She is a friend.

He entered her office, there was still rain on his shoulders, he stretched out his hand to wipe it off, Qin Yue smiled and threw over a dry towel: "Wipe it, the hair is also full of water."

She is from the Northeast, with a hearty personality. Sometimes she feels like a buddy, and she is very relaxed to get along with.

"I'm just worried that your broken car broke down in the rain. You said that the commission I gave you is not cheap, can't you buy a new one? You have to get a second-hand one." Qin Yue curled her lips.

"I still have to save money to start a business, how can I spend it all in a hurry." Lu Zhengnan shrugged.

"Hey, I've been planning to start a new company all day long so that I, the boss, will be fired." Qin Yue teased, but there seemed to be a gloomy glint in his eyes, fleeting.

Lu Zhengnan didn't notice it at the moment, and only handed over the information bag in his hand: "The contract is signed, and it's in it, but I have something to do today, so I didn't invite Manager Chen to dinner, please treat me later."

"What's the matter?" Qin Yue asked casually while opening it.

Lu Zhengnan smiled, but did not answer.He didn't want to tell outsiders about Ye Chuxiao, it was a secret he kept in his heart alone.

Qin Yue waited for a while, but before he could answer, she raised her head and saw that he was looking at the rain outside the window at the moment, the expression on his face was not like usual, it seemed to be sad.

After being stunned for a while, she lowered her head again, pretending that she didn't notice anything.

He is a mystery, even though they have been together for so long and seem to be close, they are still a mystery.I don't know his past, what happened to him, and I can't predict his future, where he will go again.

Business is business, Qin Yue and Lu Zhengnan talked about the details of the list, after the discussion, Qin Yue pondered for a while, and tapped the pen on the table: "I think it's better to invite Manager Chen to have dinner and sing a song tonight." , although familiar, but in the end it's not good to be negligent."

Lu Zhengnan nodded: "OK."

He immediately called to book a place, then made an appointment, and set a time. In the past, he had a secretary to take care of these things, but now, he can only do it himself.But I am used to it, and I don’t feel wronged. From the past high and low, to the current down-to-earth, perhaps, this kind of experience is also the wealth of life.

They were busy for a while, and it was almost time for the appointed time. Lu Zhengnan and Qin Yue went downstairs together, and originally planned to drive their own car, but she stopped him: "Forget it, don't delay things by breaking down halfway Son, just take my car, I will take you back tonight."

"Alright." He got into her car.

On the way, it rained heavily again, Lu Zhengnan looked outside and thought of Ye Chuxiao.

She should be able to get a taxi back smoothly, right?He sighed softly.

"What's the matter?" Qin Yue turned her head and asked.

"It's okay." He smiled and didn't say much.

Qin Yue stared at him for a while, didn't ask any more questions, and continued to drive, but she also fell silent.

When we arrived at the appointed place, Manager Chen also arrived, together with the other two accompanying guests, everyone began to eat lively.

Lu Zhengnan's stomach is bad, so he still can't drink too much, that's why Qin Yue came with him, her drinking capacity is amazing, this kind of entertainment is no problem.

But today she didn't seem to be in a good mood, she said she couldn't do it after a few drinks, and the other party toasted vigorously, in order to make the scene not ugly, Lu Zhengnan had no choice but to stand on top.

By the time he moved to KTV, he couldn't hold on any longer, and half leaned on the arm of the sofa, looking at the dangling subtitles on the screen with a troubled expression.

"Zhengnan, are you okay?" Qin Yue finished singing a song, put down the microphone and came to ask him.

"It's okay." He closed his eyes and waved his hand.

"I'm sorry, I have a cold today, so I can't drink." Qin Yue apologized with lowered eyelids.

"Originally, drinking is a man's business. You helped me drink so many times before, so it's hard for you." Lu Zhengnan made a joke to avoid her guilt.

She didn't speak, and then smiled, when Manager Chen called her again, and she sat down and sang.

When she looked over again in the gap, she saw that he had fallen asleep like this, she froze for a moment, then turned her gaze away, and continued to soar...

It was late at night when it ended, Manager Chen left with the two people he brought, and Qin Yue went to call Lu Zhengnan.

He really drank too much today, he was still groggy, and he staggered when he walked. Qin Yue pulled his arm and put it on her shoulder. At that moment, she was a little dazed, as if he was hugging her.

After finally helping him into the car, he leaned on the back of the chair, closed his eyes, a light leaked in from the skylight, just reflected on his face, in the soft light and shadow, his facial features were so beautiful, Qin Yue couldn't see it god.

After a long while, she forced herself to calm down and drove him home.

He is now renting an apartment of less than [-] square meters in an old residential building.When he reached the door, he finally regained consciousness and took out the key to open the door, but once he entered, he couldn't do it again, and collapsed on the sofa.

Qin Yue went to the bathroom to fetch water and came over to wipe his face.

In a daze, he felt a warm towel covering his face and wiped it gently. At that moment, he seemed to be in a dream, as if he had returned to the past, returned to that warm home, and whispered the name of that person. Name: "Chu Xiao..."

When Qin Yue heard those two words, her hands froze.

And her pause made him think that she was going to leave, so he suddenly held her hand: "Chu Xiao, don't go."

She was holding his hand in a daze, and when he heard him calling that name so reluctantly, she suddenly burst into tears, she threw off his hand, and fled away.

Lu Zhengnan's hands were empty, and he slowly opened his eyes, looking around blankly.

Not Yunshui Pavilion, nor Ye Chuxiao.

He had another dream, the same as before.

Closing his eyes again, he let out a long and deep sigh, with a desolate smile on the corner of his lips...

The next morning, he went to the company, but he didn't see Qin Yue. Her assistant told him that Mr. Qin called to say he was sick and had a rest today.

He then called to ask how she was doing, but no one answered.

And there are still a lot of things to do today, so he didn't have time to think about it, so he went out again.

Coincidentally, a client made an appointment with him at the teahouse yesterday.

The moment he stepped into that door again, he found that he was secretly looking forward to meeting Ye Chuxiao here again.

But today, the miracle did not happen, the seat she sat in yesterday was empty.

Before the customer came, he told the waiter to sit at that table.

He walked over, sat where she had sat, looked at the scenery she had seen, feeling lost.

When the client finally came over, it was already noon after the business discussion, and he was about to leave when he suddenly saw a figure on the broken bridge in the distance that looked too much like her.

His footsteps stopped like this, then he turned around and headed there.

But as soon as he reached the middle of the bridge, the man turned around.

Not her.

He was really stunned.

Lu Zhengnan laughed at himself, and walked back slowly.

The customer was still waiting there, and when he saw him, he asked strangely: "What happened to you just now?"

"Wrong person, I thought it was...an ex-friend." He lowered his eyelids and said lightly, "Let's go, I'll treat you to a light meal at noon."

When he got in the car and left, he couldn't help but look back at the lake. Unfortunately, that person didn't come or didn't come, and she couldn't be found.

But in fact, Ye Chuxiao is still in Hangzhou, because it is not easy to go back and forth, she will stay for a few days this time, and go back after the plan is finalized, so she has been drawing pictures in the hotel room.

It was always dark when she was working, until she realized that it was almost dark outside, she rubbed the bridge of her nose and went downstairs to eat.

It just rained yesterday, and it's still a little cold today. The clothes she brought here were not thick enough. When she came back yesterday, the car was hard to drive. She was drenched in some rain and had a cold and a stuffy nose.

Seeing a pharmacy diagonally opposite, she planned to buy some cold medicine and drink it once in the evening to cure illness and hypnotize her.

The road is very wide, and there are many cars, most of them are people who come back late, and they drive in a hurry.

Both mother and Mi Lier had been in a car accident, and she still has a shadow about it, but at this moment, there are no other pedestrians, so she can only pass by alone.

When Lu Zhengnan's car came over, the headlights were shining ahead, and the people in the middle of the road turned their faces. At that moment, he was taken aback for a moment.

Why is it her again? Did he get it wrong again?

Parked near the zebra crossing, he watched her pass in front of the car, and he was indeed right.His breathing tightened, and he just watched her cross the road and enter the pharmacy opposite.

pharmacy?What's up with her?He couldn't help worrying, and finally stopped the car when he turned the intersection, came over and entered the pharmacy, to "meet" her.

And she didn't realize that it was his car just now, she didn't know anything about it, and she was looking for cold medicine on the shelf at the moment.

She had just taken down a box of granules when suddenly a voice came from behind: "What's wrong with you?"

She was stunned for a moment, then turned her head and saw that it was him, she didn't know how to react for a while.

At this moment, he saw the medicine in her hand clearly, his eyes flashed, and he pretended to pick up a box: "Oh, have a cold? A friend of mine did too, so I came here to buy medicine."

She froze for a moment, and said "oh".

"Don't you have a fever?" He asked casually.

"It's okay." As soon as she finished speaking, she couldn't help but turned her face to one side, covered her nose and sneezed.

The sneeze was embarrassing, she frantically flipped through tissues in her pocket, her nose and eye sockets were red.

"It's really like a rabbit." He looked at her, and unconsciously said this sentence. It was too late to react, so he hurriedly stopped the smile on his lips and looked away.

When she heard these words, her movements also paused, and a strange feeling surged in her heart, sour, yet slightly sweet.

After finally finding a tissue, she wiped her face and saw that he had already taken the medicine and went to pay the bill.

Instead of fighting with him, she silently followed him out.

"Do you live near here?" He asked her, she nodded and pointed to the hotel opposite: "It's there."

"Then I'll take you there before you go." He said softly.

She felt warm, did he still remember that she was afraid of crossing the road.

Looking around, she sighed: "But there seems to be no place to eat over there."

"You haven't eaten yet?" Lu Zhengnan frowned: "I have a bad stomach, you..." He stopped suddenly in the middle of speaking, he found that his tone was too intimate.

In her heart, the sweet and sour taste became stronger, and she muttered: "I forgot to draw pictures."

He was startled, and said in a low voice, "Then let's go eat first."

I found a restaurant nearby, and when she was ordering, she asked him, "What do you eat?"

"I've eaten." He waved his hand: "Just give yourself some."

But she still ordered three dishes. When the dishes came out, she smiled at him: "The dishes here are on the sweet side. I'm not used to it. If I eat alone, I'll lose my appetite even more."

He sighed and had no choice but to obey.

With him by his side, it seemed that her appetite improved a lot. She actually ate two bowls of rice and drank half a bowl of soup.

"You really have a bad appetite." He laughed, and beckoned for the waiter to bring a glass of warm water.

When the water was brought, he pushed it in front of her: "Drink the medicine, so that you won't forget to draw a picture when you go back."

This scene is still the same as before. He used to supervise her to take the medicine, just in case she would forget.Ye Chuxiao felt warm in her heart, but felt a little achy.

After coming out of the restaurant, he accompanied her to cross the road, and it was still the same as before, always walking on the side close to the car.

As she walked, she suddenly wished that the longer this zebra crossing was, the better, so keep walking like this without stopping.

But when he got to the opposite side, he sent her to the door of the hotel, then stopped in his tracks, and said in a low voice, "Go in."

She stood still.

He gritted his teeth and said again: "You go in." After a pause, he added: "I'm leaving."

She finally turned around slowly and walked through the glass door.

He stared at her back, then turned around slowly, and went in the opposite direction...

When Ye Chuxiao was standing in the elevator, she really wanted to cry, but in the end she didn't, her expression was numb.

Finally arrived at the floor where she lived, the door slid open to both sides, but she didn't move, watching the door slowly close again, there seemed to be something clamoring in her heart, she suddenly raised her hand and pressed down on the first floor.

When the elevator went down and the door opened again, she rushed out and ran all the way through the hotel lobby. People around her looked at her in surprise, but she didn't care about anything and just ran out of the glass door.

Standing on the side of the road, she panted and looked around, anxiously looking for that figure.

However, he has disappeared, no matter where he is, he is no longer there.

Tears fell suddenly, she stepped back slowly, and stood against the wall, her eyes were empty.

At this time, Lu Zhengnan had already gotten into the car and left, thinking about every bit of tonight, his heart ached as if being clenched tightly.

It's still the same, as long as one meets her, a demonic obstacle will appear in one's heart, knowing that one should not approach her, but one can't help but not approach her.

I was afraid that she would get sick, that she would not eat, or that she would forget to take her medicine, so I wished I could watch her and take care of her all the time.
