Huo Qiran wanted to say something, but when the words came to his lips, he paused again.

He didn't speak, but someone next to him spoke -

"Yes, Jing Li, it's rare to meet each other. Why don't we all get together? This kind of opportunity is so rare!"

"That's right, we met by such fate, how could you leave?"

The bright-eyed girl saw something and said, "Don't be like this. Jing Li has something to do. Anyway, we have met. It will be the same next time we get together."

After hearing this, Jing Li couldn't help but give the girl a grateful smile, and then said: "Yes, let's get together again when we have the opportunity in the future. You guys have fun today, so I'll leave first."

Speaking of this, it seemed a bit embarrassing to keep someone else by force. Only Cheng Ling, who had no eyesight, wanted to say anything, but was kicked by Huo Qiran.

He couldn't help turning his head and staring at Huo Qiran, "Damn! What are you doing?"

"I didn't mean it." Huo Qiran replied lightly, then stood up and walked towards Jing Li.

Jing Li was not prepared for him to stand up suddenly. She watched with some confusion as he walked up to her and heard him say, "You work downstairs? Shall I take you down?"

Jing Li still declined, but a burst of cheers suddenly sounded from behind her.

Huo Qiran's expression remained calm and composed, completely ignoring the various teasing words behind him.

Jing Li paused, then suddenly stopped refusing.

She said goodbye to other classmates again, and before leaving, she was pulled into the group of high school classmates and was able to leave.

Huo Qiran accompanied her all the way to the elevator. When they were in front of the elevator, Jing Li finally broke the silence: "By the way, you told me on WeChat before that you had something to give to Xi Xi?"

Huo Qiran glanced at her helplessly and said, "I didn't know I would meet you today, so I didn't bring it with me."

"Oh." Jing Li smiled, "That doesn't matter. Anyway, the toys Yueyue gave her that day were enough for her to play with for a long time. She was so happy."

The elevator opened in front of the two people. Huo Qiran walked in with her. Seeing the elevator numbers dropping all the way, he finally spoke again: "Are you coming home so late lately?"

"Absolutely." Jing Li said, "Recently, I've been stuck on all kinds of things. Every time I go home, Xi Xi falls asleep. But this is good. It will stop her from disturbing you all the time. You

I must be very tired during the internship every day, and I have to deal with her when I get home, which is too hard."

Huo Qiran glanced at her and did not discuss the topic any further. He just said: "Candy has obviously grown a lot this week and weighed 300 grams. You probably don't know how much it has grown next time you come to see it."

"That's good." Jing Li turned to look at him and smiled, "It means Candy has really found a good family, and she will definitely be able to live happily in the future."

Everything she said was normal, but in Huo Qiran's view, every word she spoke was filled with alienation, even farewell...

Huo Qiran couldn't help but call her in a low voice: "Jing Li..."

The elevator happened to arrive at the first floor. As soon as the elevator door opened, Jing Li jumped out, then turned to look at him who was still in the elevator, and waved to him, "Okay, just bring it here. You can go up and eat."

Damn it, you’ve been delayed for a long time, and they’re going to make fun of you again. I’m leaving now, bye.”

She quickly finished what she wanted to say, turned around and left.

Huo Qiran walked out of the elevator and looked at her retreating back. He wanted to catch up with her, but he didn't know what he could say after catching up.

Should I still chase her and ask why?

He already knew that she was not doing well.

But her overall condition is very good, which shows that she has always been able to regulate herself well.

The choices she makes should be as comfortable as possible.

Although he never knew where he lost his sense of proportion and made her feel uncomfortable, if staying away from him could make her feel comfortable, what reason did he have to get closer?

…

After returning to the private room, Huo Qiran was inevitably questioned by other students, but he was very familiar with the way of handling such gossip incidents. In just a few moments, he had resolved the topics surrounding him.

After all, it’s just time to go downstairs, where might there be any attractive stories to tell?

After returning home, after much thought, Huo Qiran finally sent another message to Jing Li——

"The gift for Xi Xi, if you really don't have time, I can send it to you as well."

It wasn't until the next morning that he received Jing Li's reply: "Then I'll thank Brother Qi Ran for Xi Xi!"

Huo Qiran delivered the gift to Xi Xi at the address given by Jing Li that day. In the evening, when Jing Li got home, the gift was already placed on the shoe cabinet.

She took the box back to her room, and after opening it with Xi Xi, she saw a phone and watch.

Jingli clicked into the address book and saw two phone numbers stored in it.

One is hers, and the other is Huo Qiran's.

Her and his names, up and down, next to each other, were probably the closest they would ever get in their lives.

Jing Li stared at these two names for a long time.

Xi Xi lay on her lap and stared at the phone and watch with gleaming eyes for a long time. Seeing that Jing Li remained motionless for a long time, she finally couldn't help but ask, "Auntie, whose phone number is this?"

Jing Li came back to her senses, laughed softly, and said, "It's my aunt's phone number. From now on, Xi Xi can use this phone watch to call her aunt!"

"What about another one?" Xi Xi asked curiously.

"It's the wrong phone number." Jing Li lowered her head and gently kissed Xi Xi's forehead while deleting the phone number Huo Qiran left in her watch.

…

The next evening, when Huo Qiran returned home, his aunt at home handed him a box.

Huo Qiran opened it with some confusion, and it turned out to be a box of biscuits.

Although Huo Qiran doesn't like snacks, he can tell at a glance that this box of biscuits is not a cheap brand.

And the person who will give him cookies, he just wants to get one.

This should be her return gift to him.

Huo Qiran suddenly felt a little regretful.

I don’t know how much money she could earn from working hard all day long. A box of candies that day and a box of biscuits today must be a lot of consumption for her.

Although he didn't mean it, he seemed to put a lot of pressure on her.

He had been careful to exercise caution, but in the end he lost it.

…

Yueyue couldn't explain what was going on, but she always felt that something was wrong with her brother recently.

The main reason is that her brother has always been gentle and attentive to her, but during this period of time, the gentleness is still gentle, and the attentiveness has gone to nowhere. Even when she talks to him many times, he doesn't seem to be able to hear her.

.

So one weekend, when Huo Qiran woke up from his sleep, he met his sister's big, twinkling eyes.

The brother and sister looked at each other and remained motionless for a long time before Huo Qiran finally said: "Huh?"

"Brother." Yueyue lay beside the bed and looked at him with concern, "What's wrong with you?"

Huo Qiran had just woken up from his sleep, and his throat was still slightly astringent. He was startled when he heard the words, and then whispered: "What's wrong?"

"You seem unhappy recently." Yueyue said, "Why are you unhappy?"

After hearing this, Huo Qiran chuckled and said, "How can I be unhappy?"

"Yes." Yueyue said, "I can see it, don't lie."

Hearing this, Huo Qiran couldn't help but remain silent for a while.

And Yueyue is still waiting for his answer.

Huo Qiran thought for a long time before finally speaking in a low voice: "Maybe... it's because I did something wrong."

Yueyue suddenly opened her eyes wide, "What did my brother do wrong?"

Huo Qiran was silent for a while, and Yueyue stared at him for a moment, and suddenly said: "Mom said, changing your heart is not a big mistake, as long as you can handle the connection between the two relationships, that is to say, you and Su Su

Sister, make it clear, don't lie to her, don't hurt her intentionally, you can be with sister Jingli."

Listening to her serious analysis, Huo Qiran finally couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Do you agree with what mom said?"

"I don't really agree." Yueyue said, "But since mom said that, it must make sense. So brother, you don't have to feel too guilty."

Huo Qiran laughed enough and couldn't help but sigh, rubbed his sister's head and said, "Stop talking nonsense, Sister Susu and Sister Jingli are both my good friends, it's not as complicated as you think, do you understand?"

"

"Really?" Yueyue narrowed her eyes and looked at him suspiciously, "You really don't like Sister Susu or Sister Jingli?"

Huo Qiran said helplessly: "Anyway, it's not the kind of love you thought."

Yueyue snorted, and then asked: "Then what did you say you did wrong?"

After hearing this, Huo Qiran lifted the quilt and got out of bed, saying, "You won't understand even if I tell you."

"Exactly." Yueyue curled her lips, "If you do something wrong, just find a way to make up for it. Why do you have to be depressed by yourself and forget it if you don't tell me? You are such an idiot!"

After Yueyue finished speaking, she snorted again, turned around and walked out of Huo Qiran's room.

Huo Qiran didn't pay much attention to her and went into the bathroom to wash up.

The moment the cold water hit his face, his mind suddenly recalled what Yueyue had just said——

If you do something wrong, find a way to make up for it.

Then does he still have a chance to make amends?

…

At six o'clock in the evening, Huo Qiran drove out with candy.

He drove the car straight outside the community where Jing Li lived and waited at the door of the community.

From six o'clock until half past nine, Huo Qiran finally saw Jing Li's figure.

She must have been walking from the direction of the bus stop. She was probably tired after a long day, so her steps were a little slow, but her shoulders and neck didn't seem to sag at all.

The moment Huo Qiran saw her, he wondered in a daze whether she had always been like this in the past few years. No matter how difficult or tiring she was, she never let herself slump, so to this day, she still has bright eyes and a bright smile.

While he was in a daze, he suddenly heard a woman's voice not far away calling her name: "Jing Li."
