After some deliberation, Lin Jingchu finally did not accompany Jiang Yuekai to study abroad.
When school started at the end of October, Lin Jing personally sent Jiang Yuekai off to New York. After completing the enrollment procedures with her, she returned to Nanjiang.
This is the first time since childhood that the two of them have been separated from each other in a real sense, and it is still such a long distance.
Not to mention Lin Jingchu, even Jiang Yuekai, who had been mentally prepared, was not used to it.
Fortunately, Shen Yujin is also studying here, and Jiang Yuekai can make appointments with her from time to time.
This weekend, Jiang Yuekai and Shen Yujin made an appointment to have hot pot in Chinatown. When they came to the restaurant and sat down, they bumped into Gu Jiang.
After graduating from high school, Jiang Yuekai has not met Gu Jiang. Occasionally, he hears news about him from his high school classmates. He went to Kyoto to study in college and got excellent grades. It is said that he went to the United States as an exchange student in his junior year. As for the specific city or school, Jiang Yuekai has not inquired. They are all ex-boyfriends. Where they are, it has little to do with her.
Jiang Yuekai never expected that the two of them would meet here. The breakup was not very pleasant, and Jiang Yuekai didn't know whether he should go up and say hello to him.
Shen Yujin also recognized Gu Jiang and whispered to Jiang Yuekai, "Isn't that your ex? Why is he here too?"
Jiang Yuekai: "He seems to have been in the United States."
The two of them had just exchanged a few words when Gu Jiang took the initiative to talk to Jiang Yuekai, "Yuekai, long time no see."
It's a very cliche opening line.
Jiang Yue found that Gu Jiang's voice was much more mature than before. When he got closer, his facial features and temperament were different from those in his student days. Now they are both twenty-three years old, and Gu Jiang has always been more mature than his peers. People are older.
In fact, when they broke up, Gu Jiang didn't do anything to feel sorry for her. Now he has come up to say hello, and Jiang Yuekai is also very generous, "Yeah, we haven't seen each other for a long time. Are you coming to have dinner too?"
"Yeah." Gu Jiang said, "I heard from my classmates that you came to Columbia University and wanted to have a meal with you."
"Are you also in Brother University?" Jiang Yuekai understood what Gu Jiang meant.
"Yes." Gu Jiang said, "We are in the same college."
Jiang Yuekai thought it was a coincidence. Gu Jiang should have been retained as an exchange student. He had excellent grades, which was normal.
When Shen Yujin heard the news, her inner alarm sounded.
After all, they were exes, so Jiang Yuekai and Gu Jiang exchanged a few words and said goodbye.
As soon as Gu Jiang left, Shen Yujin said, "I think your ex is unkind."
"I'm an exchange student." Jiang Yuekai knew what Shen Yujin was guessing, "Chen Zhima ruined the millet, and he doesn't hold a grudge that much."
"Who knows, men can be so petty and petty." Shen Yujin understood it deeply, "My dad still settles old scores with my mom from time to time."
Shen Yujin looked serious and made Jiang Yue laugh. This little girl had never been in love before, so she always talked about it.
A few days after this incident, Jiang Yuekai actually met Gu Jiang at school. When school was over, the two bumped into each other at the door, and Gu Jiang took the initiative to invite her to have a meal.
Jiang Yuekai felt it was not appropriate and subconsciously wanted to refuse, but Gu Jiang said one step ahead of her, "We are all old classmates, so we won't give him this face, right?"
He said he was an old classmate. How could Jiang Yuekai not give him face? In the end, he went to the restaurant with him.
During the meal, the two chatted about the past years, and Gu Jiang asked her how she came to study at Columbia University.
Jiang Yuekai said, "That was the original plan. The project at Columbia University was good, so I came here."
Gu Jiang knew what program Jiang Yue was studying in, "Well, it's pretty good. I almost applied for that one."
After finishing, Gu Jiang sighed again, "I didn't expect that we would end up in the same school."
When they talked about this, both of them thought of that time. Jiang Yuekai fell silent again. She did not have the habit of reminiscing about the past with her ex-boyfriend.
Fortunately, Gu Jiang didn't dwell on this topic too much and asked her, "Are you still together?"
Jiang Yue was stunned for a moment before she realized that he was talking about Lin Jingchu. It seemed that Gu Jiang had not been deleted from her WeChat account. However, Gu Jiang did not post in Moments and the two of them did not contact each other. As a result, she had forgotten that there was this person in her WeChat account.
existence.
If she hadn't deleted it, Gu Jiang must have seen it when she officially announced her relationship on WeChat Moments.
Jiang Yuekai did not shy away from the topic and said generously, "Yes, we are still together."
Gu Jiang said, "I thought he would accompany you to study."
"He has graduated with a master's degree and has a good job." When talking about Lin Jingchu, Jiang Yuekai's eyes softened. "He wanted to come and study for a Ph.D. with me, but I think his current development is more suitable.
He doesn’t want him to be delayed because of me.”
Gu Jiang could clearly feel that she talked more than before. He laughed and said, "You are still so sensible."
This passage seemed familiar. When he was going to the same university as her, she said something similar, "Does he agree?"
"I agree." Jiang Yuekai said, "We have only been separated for two years. He often comes to see me. We will spend a lot of time together in the future."
Gu Jiang stared at Jiang Yuekai for a few minutes and suddenly laughed.
Jiang Yuekai asked him, "Why are you laughing?"
Gu Jiang said truthfully, "It's nothing, I just suddenly felt relieved about something."
In the past, he thought that Jiang Yuekai made that choice because she didn't like him enough. Today, he can finally tell himself that the reason why she refused to go to Kyoto to study with him back then was because she was a sensible person about emotions.
Even if the target is Lin Jingchu, it will be the same.
Jiang Yuekai still didn't understand what Gu Jiang meant: "Relief for what?"
Gu Jiang said: "Over the years, I have always felt that the reason you refused to go to Kyoto to study with me was because you didn't like me enough."
He stopped and smiled, "I often think that if it were Lin Jingchu, you might not be so rational."
Jiang Yuekai understood this time, "Love is not everything in life."
Gu Jiang: "You are right, I have to learn from you on this point."
He picked up the wine glass and said, "Let's be good friends from now on."
"Okay." Jiang Yuekai and Gu Jiang clinked glasses.
There was no deep hatred at first. When things were revealed, we were still old classmates.
After dinner, Jiang Yuekai and Gu Jiang walked out of the restaurant laughing and talking. In the middle of their conversation, they suddenly bumped into Lin Jingchu.
Lin Jingchu didn't know when he came over. At this time, his eyes were fixed on Jiang Yuekai and Gu Jiang.
"Why are you here?" Jiang Yuekai was still surprised. Lin Jingchu didn't mention this to her at all.
It was originally a casual question, but in the current situation, Lin Jingchu felt a little harsh when she heard it. It sounded like she was complaining that he interrupted her date with Gu Jiang.
"I'll give you a surprise." Lin Jingchu pointed out, "I didn't expect you to give me a surprise."
"Long time no see." Gu Jiang took the initiative to say hello to Lin Jingchu, his tone no longer as sharp as before.
