Since the birthday party that night, Chu Qiao had not seen Jiang Yanyu again. There were only a few phone calls between them. At this moment, Jiang Yanyu suddenly appeared in front of Chu Qiao, which surprised Chu Qiao.

.It was already dark, but Jiang Yanyu's handsome face looked particularly eye-catching under the light.

Chu Qiao was silent for a moment, and then the two of them took steps towards each other almost at the same time.

"Chu Qiao, you're off work." Jiang Yanyu said with a smile.

Chu Qiao nodded and said "Yes", but then asked, "Why are you here?"

"I'm waiting for you." Jiang Yanyu said calmly without hiding anything.

"Is there anything important?" Chu Qiao asked.

It's already past the off-duty time. Jiang Yanyu shouldn't have just arrived. It seems that he has been waiting for a long time.

"I want to treat you to dinner, is that an important thing?" Jiang Yanyu asked with a smile.

But Chu Qiao couldn't laugh and said softly, "I'm sorry, Yan Yu, I have to go home."

"Let's eat first and then I'll take you home, okay?"

"The publishing house is very busy these days. I have a lot of manuscripts to rush, so I won't go." Jiang Yanyu tried to persuade, but Chu Qiao refused very insistently.

Jiang Yanyu looked at her and said nothing for a moment. After a while, he said, "It seems you are really busy."

Chu Qiao didn't know what to say, so she could only smile.

"Then let me take you home?" Jiang Yanyu finally gave in.

Chu Qiao pointed to the road ahead, "No, I came here on a bicycle."

Jiang Yanyu looked in the direction her hand pointed, and sure enough he saw where the bicycles were parked, and there was another one left alone.

It turns out that it belongs to her.

Chu Qiao walked to the bicycle and unlocked it with the key.

Jiang Yanyu also followed her and said with emotion, "I didn't expect you to come to work on a bicycle."

Chu Qiao pushed the bicycle out, "It's also more environmentally friendly to exercise."

"Since you are riding home, I have to take you home. Don't forget, I promised Uncle Chu that I will protect you." Jiang Yanyu blurted out these words.

After hearing this, Chu Qiao was obviously startled.

Chu's father is very protective of Chu Qiao, and there will always be a special car to pick her up after school.

This kind of protection did not improve until Jiang Yanyu appeared.

Although Jiang Yanyu is a kid from a rich family, he likes to ride bikes to school. At that time, students in the school loved riding bikes, which seemed to be a trend. Chu Qiao could ride a bike, but only in the garden of Jingyuan.

I have ridden outside. Therefore, Chu Qiao is particularly envious.

Jiang Yanyu said, "In that case, why don't you come to school by bike? What does it matter?"

Tao Sitian shook her head, having concluded that Father Chu would not agree.

And even Chu Qiao concluded this way.

Jiang Yanyu said again: "You haven't tried it yet, how do you know he won't agree? Chu Qiao, you are the only one who wants it, or you don't want it."

Chu Qiao had never asked her father for anything. She already lacked nothing. But that time, under Jiang Yanyu's instigation, she told her father for the first time that she wanted to ride to and from school. Of course, she was rejected

Chu's father sternly objected.

Later, with Chu Qiao's begging and Jiang Yanyu's guarantee, he obtained his father's permission.

Chu Qiao still remembered that Jiang Yanyu came to Jingyuan and promised Chu's father: "Uncle Chu, please don't worry. I will accompany Chu Qiao to school every day from now on, and I will send her back after school. I will definitely

Will protect her."

Maybe it was Jiang Yanyu's promise that worked, or maybe it was Chu Qiao's persistence that moved Chu's father, and he finally agreed.

After that, the two continued to be together for many years, rain or shine.

"Chu Qiao, let's go." Jiang Yanyu shouted in a low voice.

When Chu Qiao came back to her senses, she saw that Jiang Yanyu had already walked forward, and she had no choice but to push her bicycle to keep up with him.

"Where to take the bus?"

"Front."

"How many buses are there?"

"413."

"I remember we used to ride 319."

"Yan Yu, doesn't your car start?"

"It doesn't matter, no one will steal it if you park it there."

…

The two pushed the car and walked towards the parking lot ahead while chatting.

But behind, the car was following behind like it had been a few days ago.

In the car, Mo Zhengyan's eyes tightened. Just now he decided to get out of the car and walk towards Chu Qiao when she came out, and pick her up and go back together. If two people get along, one person must break the deadlock, so this time he

I was willing to bow my head first. However, Mo Zhengyan never thought that Jiang Yanyu would also come.

Jiang Yanyu parked the car aside and stood downstairs waiting.

Therefore, Mo Zhengyan could only continue to sit in the car.

Then Chu Qiao finally appeared.

Mo Zhengyan watched the two people meet in front of the building, and then watched the two people leave together. They were still so close, and the emotions that he had finally calmed down began to surge again.

"Sir?" the driver shouted from the front, waiting for his instructions.

Mo Zhengyan said, "Follow that bus."

◎◎◎

Bus No. 413 stopped at the platform near Jingyuan.

Jiang Yanyu lifted the folded bicycle off, and Chu Qiao followed him and got off the bicycle.

"I didn't expect this bicycle to be broken." Jiang Yanyu folded the bicycle, raised his head and smiled.

Chu Qiao said, "This car is of good quality."

"Of course, I chose it." Jiang Yanyu stared at Chu Qiao.

"Let me push it." Chu Qiao took the bicycle and said again, "Yan Yu, just send it here."

Jiang Yanyu's smile remained unchanged and he said persistently, "No, it hasn't been delivered to my door yet."

In the past, every school morning, Jiang Yanyu would always wait for her at the gate of Jingyuan. When school was over in the evening, she would be sent to the front of Jingyuan again, and then she would leave peacefully. It seemed that it was to fulfill the promise she made to Chu's father.

The promise is so persistent, almost to the point of stubbornness.

"It just so happens that I can also visit Uncle Chu when I have free time today." Jiang Yanyu said, already walking towards the long path.

Chu Qiao pushed the cart beside her and said, "No, dad is not at home."

"Then where did Uncle Chu go?" Jiang Yanyu really didn't know what Chu's father was doing.

"He is ill and is recuperating in a nursing home." Chu Qiao said softly.

Jiang Yanyu's pace couldn't help but slow down, and his voice became deeper, "When did it happen?"

"It was a long time ago." Chu Qiao replied calmly.

"How long?" Jiang Yanyu's heart tightened.

Chu Qiao said, "I forgot."

Jiang Yanyu also frowned. He seemed to have expected something, "Which nursing home is Uncle Chu in? I'll go visit him."

"It's okay, Yan Yu, there's no need to go out of your way."

Jiang Yanyu's stubborn temper broke out again, "I haven't visited Uncle Chu for so long since I returned to China. This is what I should do."

"But I've been very busy recently and don't have time to go with you."

"You don't need to accompany me, I will go by myself, just tell me."

"Yan Yu!" Chu Qiao stopped and called him, "Dad, he needs to rest, and he doesn't want others to disturb him."

Jiang Yanyu also stopped. He looked at her seriously and said, "Chu Qiao, am I someone else?"

"Just classmates and friends, that's all, isn't it?" Chu Qiao asked.

Jiang Yanyu's eyes were focused, calm and deep. At the end of June, on this path home, there were even cars passing by, but at the moment it was very quiet, with a breeze blowing.

They were all tiny sounds, flying past my ears.

Chu Qiao heard him say, "I like you."

"Chu Qiao, I like you, I like you very much. I don't know when it started, but it hasn't changed so far." Jiang Yanyu whispered, and the voice was somewhat distant, but clear, and it reached Chu Qiao's ears.

end.

The suit jacket must have been left in the car. Jiang Yanyu was only wearing a white shirt. Chu Qiao was a little dazed. She suddenly thought that he was still the same boy in the past, the boy in the white shirt.

"What about you?" Jiang Yanyu asked enthusiastically and sincerely, "Chu Qiao, do you like me?"

Chu Qiao held the handle of the car, her chest felt a little swollen, it was an indescribable feeling, her thoughts suddenly became chaotic, and she was speechless at all.

"Chu Qiao?" Jiang Yanyu shouted again, feeling a little anxious and nervous.

Chu Qiao tightened her hands and said, "Yan Yu, we'd better not meet again in the future."

Jiang Yanyu was stunned for a moment, not expecting that she would say that.

Chu Qiao has already pushed the bicycle and started walking forward again.

"Chu Qiao!" Jiang Yanyu took a few steps to catch up with her, grabbed her hand and the bicycle to prevent her from leaving, "Why!"
