night sultry

Chapter 15

The weather in October is getting cooler, and the evening wind blows on the face, bringing an amazing chill.

The black BMW was parked on the bank of the river, and the cramped interior of the car was silent.

The street lamps on both sides were shining faintly, and the water surface under the moonlight was sparkling, with a touch of silver flashing from time to time, like a dream.

Jiang Ting opened the rear door and got out of the car.

Lin Yin sat in the driver's seat for a while, and then got out of the car.

There are several old residential buildings that have not been demolished on both sides of the river bank. The walls are covered with vines, and the white walls are uneven. After the wind and rain, the surface of the stone bricks inside is exposed, dilapidated and depressed.

This small river is rarely known to outsiders except the residents living nearby.

The meaning of Lin Yin driving the car here is self-evident.

Jiang Ting took out the cigarette case from his pocket, took out one in the mouth, and left it unlit.

"Is that the house you rented at that time?" Lin Yin looked at the small nine-storey building on the other side of the river covered with brocade, "It's been so many years, I can hardly recognize it."

Jiang Ting's eyes fell on the small building on the other side of the river that was getting old, as if he was watching an old man returning home at dusk.

"At that time, housing prices in this area were more expensive than other places." Lin Yin walked to Jiangting and sighed, "Times have changed, and now the surrounding area has been demolished, and only this place remains the same as before."

Jiang Ting listened to him reminiscing about the past with an indifferent face, "Do you regret it?"

Lin Yin's body trembled.

Jiang Ting smiled, somewhat mockingly.

Lin Yin hung his head overwhelmed, his fists clenched, his shoulders trembling, "I'm sorry, back then..." His wish since he was a child was to get ahead and get out of the precarious days. This has become an obsession in his life, so When that rare opportunity was in front of him, he couldn't convince himself to give up, and it was impossible to give up.

So he gave up on love.

He has already tasted the bitter fruit for this, and he regrets in every possible way but doesn't know where to start.

"Shut up!" Jiang Ting threw the cigarette in his mouth on the ground violently, wanting to burst into tears.

He panted heavily, like a giant beast whose scales had been touched suddenly, furious.

Lin Yin was frightened by his sudden anger and took two steps back. Jiang Ting was extremely tall, and the sense of oppression he brought cannot be ignored. Lin Yin had personally witnessed how bad Jiang Ting was when he was still a young man. Hell, Jiang Ting, who has been honed over the years, and the current Boss Jiang, are even more frightening than the impulsive and passionate boy who always rushed to the front in fights back then.

Lin Yin suddenly realized that Jiang Ting was still the same Jiang Ting and had never changed.

He was afraid of Jiang Ting, just like the feeling Jiang Ting gave him back then, this man didn't like him, even hated him.

Lin Yin's hands and feet were cold, it was because of the overwhelming fear of violence, it was subconscious, and he couldn't control it.

Jiang Ting pointed at him, frowning, "You gave up on him for a chance to go abroad, and now you put on an attitude of never forgetting, Lin Yin, who do you hate?"

He was full of malice towards the person in front of him, "You should be glad that Yewang gave you wholeheartedly back then. If it weren't for him, do you think you could have stayed abroad for so many years with peace of mind? Lin Yin, you never know what you gave up back then. Now Regret it?"

Jiang Ting's face was grim, but full of sadness, "I tell you, it's too late."

Lin Yin hugged his head unbearably.

He regretted it, he regretted it a long time ago, he couldn't describe how much he regretted it, he regretted it from the moment he got on the plane.

In a strange country, seeing the blond-haired and blue-eyed foreigners coming and going, he almost bought a return ticket.But it can't, this may be the only chance for him to get ahead in his life, just get over it, wait for him to come back...everything can start again.

With a yearning for the future, he indulged in the past and lived in endless pain all day long, being tortured repeatedly.

Since when did everything change, Yewang's phone was turned off, and he never heard from him again.

Everything ended like this...how could it really be over.

impossible!Just wait for him... just wait for him to go back.

But when he came back, the man disappeared without a trace.

Lin Yin was really scared.

"Tell me where he is," he grabbed Jiang Ting, his eyes full of pleading, "Tell me, Jiang Ting?"

Jiang Ting squeezed his wrist, the uncontrolled intense emotion just a second ago was like a hallucination, he tightened his fingers, pulled his hand away from his body, and said softly: "Don't be so selfish, since you have given up, don't give up again. Appearing in front of him, you have already fulfilled your wish, for the sake of past affection, leave him clean."

Lin Yin squatted on the ground slowly, a suppressed moan of pain overflowed, and his limbs throbbed with pain.

Jiang Ting stood at the crossroads. He was planning to go home, but he thought of the child who was still waiting at the bar.

He almost didn't need to guess, he could think of what was going to happen next.

After hesitating again and again, he frowned and went back to the bar.

Jiang Shu saw him at a glance, as long as Jiang Ting left, he stood at the door for as long as possible.

Boss Jiang stood on the side of the road without moving, and he walked over with happiness in his heart.

The atmosphere was slightly awkward, no one spoke first, the two walked side by side aimlessly.

After walking out of the bar street, the surrounding area suddenly became quiet, as if suddenly coming from a colorful world to a quiet and quiet path.

Darkness breeds courage, loss of control, and impulsiveness.

"I..." Jiang Shu stopped.

Jiang Ting also paused.

Jiang Shu was a head shorter than Jiang Ting. One was tall and the other was short. One raised his neck and the other lowered his eyebrows. Looking from a distance, the picture was inexplicably harmonious.

"I've missed you since the first time I saw you, and I miss you every day." Jiang Shu straightened his neck, "I like you, are you willing to fall in love with me?"

During the more than an hour when Jiang Ting left, he silently imitated several ways of expressing his love, direct, tactful, or something else... It was only at the end of the day that he realized that it was nothing more than telling the other party what he wanted without reservation.

The so-called preparation is nothing more than a subconscious behavior to kill tension.

But the word "like" is really unfamiliar to him, especially when it comes out of his own mouth, it feels as difficult as swallowing two knives, and he feels uncomfortable.

He also has the common problem of men in the Jiang family, he likes to act more and not talk about it.

However, there was no answer for a long time.

Jiang Shu's heart skipped a beat, and she began to panic, her fingers subconsciously digging at the palm of her hand, pressing out crescent moons.

Jiang Ting frowned. He actually knew from the beginning what the child was thinking about approaching. He had experienced this kind of thing a lot. He didn't take it seriously at first, and the child didn't point it out, let alone say anything.

It is undeniable that Jiang Shu is not annoying, he speaks and does things well, never embarrassing others, and he is also lovable. Even Ah Fa, a lone ranger who is not very close to people, likes him very much, let alone Zhan Xin.

The panic on the child's face made him a little speechless.

Jiang Ting has never hesitated about anything, his life has always been straightforward, facing a boy who came forward with a pure heart tonight, it was rare for him to be dumb.

"It's okay, it's okay, I get it." Jiang Ting's reaction had already given him the answer, Jiang Shu twitched the corners of his mouth, forced a smile, saw his brows tightened, and comforted him instead, "I'll take it as a practice Now, let me declare first, this time it won't count, next time... there will be a next time, you have to get used to it."

Jiang Ting opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but didn't say it.

Jiang Shu waved his hands and walked forward, with a relaxed look on his face, "Good things take time, good things take time... Don't think that I just let it go, I won't just let it go, I didn't make it clear before, I can restrain myself, in the future ... You will know later, anyway, I won't just let it go."

The more he behaved like this, the tighter Jiang Ting's eyebrows frowned.

Jiang Shu turned around, the previous disappointment had disappeared, and now there was only a flying self-confidence left, "Boss Jiang, you have to be mentally prepared, it is very scary for me to chase someone."

He kept saying that he kept looking for topics to talk about, just to ease the embarrassment of being rejected.

He sighed, made a sad expression, and tried to benefit himself, "As compensation for being rejected, can you add a WeChat account and exchange a mobile phone number by the way?"

"Compensation?" Jiang Ting put his hands in his pockets and followed behind him, not letting the scene cool down.

"Others don't need it, but I'm different."

"What's the difference?"

"I," Jiang Shu walked backwards, poking his heart, "Glass heart."

Jiang Ting looked at him, Jiang Shu looked back, raised his hands above his head, and compared his heart to him.

It is impossible to say not to be disappointed, but he actually had a hunch that if Boss Jiang was interested in him, the relationship between the two would not be as dull as white water. It's just a feeling.

It's not surprising that Jiang Ting refused, and even didn't like him.

It's a joke for a man like that to easily like someone. He's not the RMB that everyone loves, even money is dismissed by others, let alone him.

Once people don't dig into the horns, they can think things through, at least they won't sink infinitely in negative energy.

Once some things are put on the bright side, they will not be restrained and reserved like before. Obviously, Jiang Shu found that after he made it clear, the relationship between him and Jiang Ting was more relaxed and comfortable than before.

He has always used his own advantages to achieve his goals.For example, when he found out that Jiang Ting was not against his tentative behavior, but would condone it, his tail immediately turned up and he became more courageous.

There's nothing wrong with being rejected.

"I'll just take a taxi here," he took out his mobile phone and put it in Jiangting's hand, "compensation."

There were only a few of Jiang Ting's private numbers. Jiang Shu was afraid that he would refuse, and sang emotionally beside him, "Mobile phone, WeChat, compensation...compensation, WeChat, mobile phone... mobile phone..."

Jiang Ting entered his mobile phone number on the dial interface and dialed.

The phone in his pocket rang twice, and he returned it to Jiang Shu.

"What about WeChat?"

"Just the phone number."

"Then I'll add you when I get back. You won't pass, right?" Jiang Shu hugged her phone tightly.

I have given my mobile phone number, so I need a WeChat.Jiang Ting reached out to stop the taxi, and stepped aside, "Go back, it's getting late."

The yellow taxi stopped in front of the two of them. Jiang Shu took two steps forward, turned around quickly before getting into the car, rushed to strangle him by the waist, and slapped him hard on the back twice: "This is a refusal." revenge."

A flash of astonishment flashed in Jiang Ting's eyes, and his hands froze in the air.

Jiang Shu slumped on the back of the chair as soon as he got in the car.

The phone in his pocket was ringing, but he didn't notice it. The driver looked at him from the rearview mirror, "Boy? Boy, your phone is ringing..."

"Ah? Oh, okay, thank you." Jiang Shu took a while to react, took out the phone, and pressed the connection.

"Baby, the things that Mommy asked to bring to you have arrived, take the time to get them."

"it is good."

"I have sorted the things for each roommate, and there are labels on them. You remember to give them."

"Ah."

"What's the matter? The voice sounds very spiritless."

"It's nothing, I'm just... hungry." The first confession in his life was rejected, and he was so wronged that he wanted to cry.

But what can I do... In the situation just now, the embarrassment can't be allowed to spread. If he doesn't pretend not to care, what face will he have next time?

He let out a breath towards the car window, then reached out to erase it, repeated it over and over again, and finally drew a heart on it.

"I didn't eat on time again," Mrs. Jiang, who hoped that her family would have a healthy body, was angry. "How did you promise your mother before you left? It's only been less than a day."

"Don't be angry, I overslept." Jiang Shu quickly comforted her, repeatedly promising to eat later, the mother and son talked for a while before hanging up the phone.

Jiang Shu was depressed, went back to the dormitory and ate some biscuits to fill his stomach, lay down on the table and fell asleep.
