Never deeply in love

He hung up the phone. Shangguan Jingchen was stunned. Looking at the phone that had been hung up, he could not recover for a long time. It was Su Zhe who answered the phone, wasn't it? Why did he sound so bad? He seemed very unhappy.

Having known Su Zhe for so long, he was used to his wild and unrestrained appearance. I have never seen him angry or so impatient. Shangguan Jingchen found it strange, but he was not in the mood to think about him.

Since he didn't come, it wasn't fun for him to drink alone. His mind was a jumble of thoughts. On a winter night, a cold wind blew in, and there was a chill in it. Even though the new year was coming, there was no one by the river.

Shangguan Jingchen subconsciously walked along the river, aimlessly. When he thought of Jiang Qi, he could not help but think of the moments he had been with her before, and he could not help but be in a trance.

In fact, they didn't spend much time together, and they didn't spend much time alone. But perhaps because of this, the memories she shared with her became clearer.

Shangguan Jingchen stopped and leaned against the railing beside the river, looking at the glistening surface of the river. There was a strange feeling that gradually grew like a crazy grass. He knew that emotion, called loneliness, and loneliness.

Ta, ta, ta -

The sound of high heels sounded, and as they approached, they suddenly stopped. Shangguan Jingchen thought it was passers-by, but he didn't care. At the corner of his eye, he caught sight of a familiar red corner.

He turned his head abruptly and looked at the familiar, fast-moving figure in disbelief.

"Jiang Qi!" He blurted out and called out her name. There was surprise and inexplicable joy. He could hardly believe that such a coincidence had happened. It was rare for him to come to the riverside and meet her by chance.

Jiang Qi paused, but did not look back at him. Shangguan Jingchen took a step forward, but stopped. Even if he met her, what could he say? They've already broken up, haven't they?

Besides, she found a boyfriend again. At the thought of this, Shangguan Jingchen's eyes darkened and he could not tell what he was feeling. Looking at Jiang Qi's obviously stiff back, she thought to herself, maybe she didn't want to talk to her either.

So, he had to disturb her? Just as she was thinking that she would never see him again, Jiang Qi turned to look at him and smiled.

"Hey, what a coincidence." Jiang Qi smiled and greeted him as usual. There was no sign of anything on their faces, as if there had been no unhappiness between them.

Shangguan Jingchen was stunned and smiled bitterly. She or she, no matter what she did, was unexpected and unpredictable.

"Why are you here?" Since she could talk to him as if nothing had happened, Shangguan Jingchen didn't feel uncomfortable being a big man. He walked up to her and asked her softly.

"I'm bored, so I came here for a walk." Jiang Qi turned around and looked away, not knowing where he landed. She didn't tell him that after being with him, when she was upset, she was used to walking alone by the river.

It's not like I never imagined that I would run into him by accident. Whether before or after the breakup, they had this kind of fantasy. But unfortunately, before that, she had been disappointed that there might not be any tacit understanding between them.

"How have you been lately?" Shangguan Jingchen was silent for a moment. He looked at her still pretty face and asked in a low voice.

Jiang Qi chuckled. "Not bad. Just do what you did before and do what you do now." She raised her eyebrows and asked, "Are you alone?"

Shangguan Jingchen nodded. "Yes, alone."

He didn't ask jiang qi. Although he knew that she had a new boyfriend, subconsciously, he didn't know why. He deliberately avoided jiang qi talking to him about this. She would rather believe that she was alone as she is now.

"In a bad mood?" Jiang Qi looked at him closely, blinked, and asked with a wicked smile.

Shangguan Jingchen smiled faintly. For some reason, she didn't want to hide it in front of her. "Yeah, a little."

Jiang Qi was taken aback. She was just asking casually. I thought this man would just brush it off. I didn't expect him to admit it so simply. Looking at him in a daze, Jiang Qi suddenly didn't know what to say.

Shangguan Jingchen just looked at her quietly, her mouth curved into a beautiful curve, smiling, but did not speak.

The man was wearing a long gray trench coat and a grey-white scarf around his neck. He was tall and handsome, and on a winter night, the smile on his face looked exceptionally warm... Somehow bewitching, it made her unable to move her eyes.

"Since we're all alone, why don't we have a drink together?" After thinking for a long time, Jiang Qi suddenly said this. As soon as she said that, she herself froze. What does it matter to her that he's in a bad mood? Why did she invite him to drink?

She could not help but feel annoyed. She could only blame him for being so handsome that she became infatuated with flowers. But after all, it was not in her character to change her mind. Jiang Qi raised his eyebrows and looked at Shangguan Jingchen with a hint of provocation.

"You should be able to drink. Don't take advantage of me when you're drunk like last time."

She was talking about the last time at the bar, when Shangguan Jingchen was drunk, he held her in his arms. However, Shangguan Jingchen was clearly mistaken. He looked away unnaturally and coughed awkwardly. "No."

Looking at the man's obviously strange face, Jiang Qi immediately reacted. He didn't think she was talking about their drunken sex, did he?

"My... It's not what you think. I'm talking about the last time you were at a bar, you were drunk..." Jiang Qi was incoherent and rarely wanted to explain in embarrassment.

Shangguan Jingchen turned around and interrupted, "I see. Let's go."

As he spoke, he took the lead and walked forward. It was rare for her to feel awkward. Jiang qi paused and followed him speechlessly, sighing in her heart.

He said he knew? The point is, what does he know?

There was an unspeakable excitement in the bar by the river. Shangguan Jingchen found a quiet place and sat down face to face with Jiang Qi. After ordering two glasses of whiskey, he did not speak for a moment and drank in silence.

After two glasses of wine, Jiang Qi could not stand the awkward and dull atmosphere, and felt that it was a very shameless thing for him to take the initiative to talk to Shangguan Jingchen without any words. As proud as she was, she didn't want to be so unashamed in front of him.

"No fun. I went dancing." Jiang Qi took off his coat and wore a thin black sweater. She looked up at Shangguan Jingchen and saw that he didn't respond. Obviously, she was not interested in dancing. She flattened her mouth and left.

Looking at the chaotic crowd on the dance floor, Shangguan Jingchen was really not interested. Seeing that Jiang Qi was like a nimble little fish, slipping into the dance floor and melting into the sea of noise and excitement, he could not help but curl his lips.

The lights shone, and in the midst of the song and dance, her petite body appeared in the crowd, but he could still catch her at a glance.

Gazing in her direction, Shangguan Jingchen raised his hand and slowly finished his glass of wine. He motioned the bartender to continue pouring the wine, his eyes fixed on that direction for a moment. A pretty girl came over to talk to him. "Handsome, alone?"

He smiled politely and refused politely and directly, "No, I have a female companion."

The other party was a little unwilling, so he simply sat down beside him and chatted with him without any words. Handsome men are not uncommon in bars. But the more a man like him who looked well-mannered and had an outstanding temperament, the more attractive he was.

Shangguan Jingchen drank the wine in silence, ignoring it. At this moment, Shangguan Jingchen felt the cell phone vibrate in his pocket. He took out his cell phone and saw that it was a call from Mo Zihan.

Shangguan Jingchen got up, went straight to the bathroom, and found a quiet corner to answer the phone.

"Zi Han?"

"Are you busy today?" Mo Zihan didn't talk nonsense and asked him, "Is it about Ming Yue?"

After so many years, he couldn't tell what was wrong with him.

Shangguan Jingchen didn't want to hide it from him either, "I just wanted to remind Cai Shuya. Since her daughter has taken over everything that belongs to Ming Yue, don't try to hide it from Ming Yue. It's unfair to Ming Yue. I admit I'm angry."

"Is that so?" Mo Zihan's voice was faint and could not detect any emotion.

"Zi Han, Ming Yue's background. When do you think it's appropriate to say it?" Shangguan Jingchen scratched her hair in annoyance. "She's my sister. She's getting married to you. My biological daughter is married, but my parents can only act as someone else..."

"Jing Chen, I know what you think." When Mo Zihan interrupted him, his voice finally wavered and he seemed to be in an indescribable dilemma.

"Forget it. Let's go out and get together some other time." Shangguan Jingchen said and cut off the phone.

When he walked straight to the bar, Jiang Qi sat there drinking. She drank very quickly and fiercely. She turned her head and saw him coming, her eyes shining.

"I thought you left." She mumbled, as if she were dissatisfied. Her face was flushed and sweaty.

Shangguan Jingchen sat down next to her and without answering, he took out a tissue and handed it to her. "Wipe your sweat."

Jiang Qi didn't answer. He tilted his neck and drained the glass of wine in one breath. Then he looked at him leisurely, his eyes fixed on him for a moment. Shangguan Jingchen looked at her calmly, inexplicably feeling a little distressed.

Jiang Qi chuckled and suddenly approached him, spitting out the smell of alcohol and ambiguously saying, "Help me wipe it."

Shangguan Jingchen looked normal, but his heart skipped a beat. He didn't say anything and wiped the sweat off her forehead with a tissue. A few strands of black and slender hair scattered across her forehead, making her smooth forehead as white as a shelled egg.

The adam's apple rolled twice, and Shangguan Jingchen felt a little uncomfortable for some reason. Jiang Qi suddenly shrank back and muttered unhappily, "Why are you so obedient?"
