Neither of them said a word in the elevator. Si Nian called someone and asked the other person to wait for him in the garage immediately.

Jiang Sui felt suffocated every second he was in the same enclosed space with him.

As soon as the elevator door opened, she walked out immediately.

The underground garage was very large. She didn't remember which direction she came in from, so she just chose a direction at random and walked forward quickly.

Soon, Si Nian came out of the elevator and caught up with her. He grabbed Jiang Sui's wrist and took her in the opposite direction.

The warm touch of his palm was now transmitted from her wrist, and it felt extremely clear.

Jiang Sui was a little dazed and forgot to struggle for a moment, and just followed him in a daze.

She took a step beside him. From this angle, she could see his profile when she raised her eyes. The outline of his profile was still so clear and handsome that she fell deeply in love with him at first sight.

"Such a handsome man will be yours from now on, and only you."

On that dark night a few years ago, he had held her face gently and told her that he only belonged to her.

But now it has become like this.

My heart felt so sad, and there was a flash of crystal in my eyes for a moment.

Jiang Sui suddenly woke up.

She stopped and forcefully pulled her hand away from Si Nian's.

Si Nian didn't expect her to do this suddenly. Unprepared, her wrist slipped out of his palm in an instant.

He turned around and looked at her with a slightly frowned brow, calling her softly, "Sui Sui..."

"I can go back by myself."

Jiang Sui lowered his eyes and no longer looked into Si Nian's eyes.

He didn't say anything, and she didn't leave immediately.

The two people seemed to be in a silent standoff.

"Boss Si, the car is ready, please follow me."

At this time, a young man in his early twenties, not tall, speaking with a slight Hong Kong accent, suddenly came from somewhere and appeared next to Jiang Sui and Si Nian.

"good."

Si Nian responded, then continued to look at Jiang Sui, and said to her in a helpless and gentle voice, "It's still raining outside, so I'll just give it this time."

Faced with Si Nian's sincere eyes and in front of outsiders, Jiang Sui could no longer reject him decisively.

Fortunately, they were not the only two people in the car.

The young man, who was not sure whether he was the driver or the assistant, was driving the car attentively in the driving seat. Jiang Sui and Si Nian, who were sitting in the back seat, remained silent the entire time. The atmosphere in the car was so weird that Jiang Sui even had to breathe cautiously.

"Boss, where are we going?"

It was not until the car drove onto the street that the young man's voice broke the strange atmosphere.

Si Nian thought for a moment and told the young man, "Jiang Yuan."

Then he looked at Jiang Sui, as if to confirm with her.

"Do you still live here now?"

The place Si Nian was talking about was Jiang Guodong's home, where they had once been together.

The house had been sold before Jiang Guodong and Gu Wan went to Canada, and now they live closer to where she works.

Jiang Sui did not respond to Si Nian. He just leaned a little closer to the driver's seat and said to the young man, "Don't go there. Go to Heyuan on Wutong Street. Thank you. It's a bother for you to make a trip to take me there in the heavy rain."

Jiang Sui's politeness made the young man a little embarrassed. He smiled at the rearview mirror and said, "Don't be polite, Miss Jiang. I am Mr. Si's special assistant Reo. It is my duty to do this."

Jiang Sui curled his lips towards the rearview mirror in front of him, and Reo said nothing more and just concentrated on driving.

She turned her head and looked out the window. It was raining heavily an hour ago, but she didn't know when the rain had turned into drizzle and fog, lingering silently outside the car window.

Just like their previous love, silent and ending in an instant.

How can cuteness come to an abrupt end? Everything is just deceiving oneself and others at the same time.

When they are not together, she can pretend that she doesn't care, everything goes on as usual, she works as she should and lives as she should.

But once she saw him, her heart couldn't help but beat for him.

What can she do?

The only thing I could think of was to escape.

She thought that only by staying away from him could her heart be safe and firm.

After all, she didn't want to experience being abandoned by him again. If she did that, she thought she might never be able to recover.

Because the pain was so great that it was worse than death.

No one would know except herself.

She never told anyone and never showed her pain in front of anyone.

Because it is difficult to understand for those who are not deeply involved in it.

It was supposed to be an hour's drive, but Jiang Sui felt it lasted a century.

When the car stopped in front of Heyuan, Jiang Sui opened the door and got out of the car without saying a word, not wanting to stay for a moment.

This time she didn't bother to say thank you to him gracefully, she just wanted to run away as quickly as possible.

"Jiang Sui."

Si Nian also got out of the car and tried to call her.

But the more he chased, the faster Jiang Sui walked.

He took big steps, and even in slippers he caught up with her in just a few steps.

He reached out from behind her and tried to hold her arm, but she pushed him away desperately as if she had suddenly gone crazy.

She took a few quick steps forward, then suddenly turned around and stopped, pointing her finger at Si Nian and shouting, "Stop!"

Si Nian immediately stopped a few steps away from Jiang Sui. He pursed his lips and said nothing, but a bitter emotion appeared in his eyes.

Realizing that she had lost her composure, Jiang Sui tilted her head and sniffed. When she looked at Si Nian again, she had already hidden all her emotions.

"We are no longer related, Si Nian. At that time, I said that we didn't recognize each other when we met, and you agreed. So now, I ask you, if we meet again next time, even if I am soaked to the skin, or I am in a miserable state, or I am pitiful, please pretend that we have never met."

Si Nian stared blankly at the thin figure who turned around and left resolutely, gradually disappearing in the rain and fog. He felt infinite bitterness in his heart, unable to tell anyone else, so he could only call Wu Chunhao.

"Mouse, stop busying yourself and come and have a drink with me."

——

Four hours later, Wu Chunhao appeared at Si Nian's door, exhausted.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw Si Nian with a gloomy face and walked into the study listlessly.

He changed into slippers in the hallway and followed her in.

There was a half-empty bottle of red wine on the desk in the study. Si Nian sat behind the desk with a half-finished glass of wine in his hand.

Wu Chunhao walked over and immediately snatched it away, scolding him harshly, "How can you drink? Are you trying to kill yourself?"

Si Nian stared at the table with a dull expression, muttering, "It really doesn't matter whether I want it or not."

Wu Chunhao placed the wine glass heavily on the table and looked at Si Nian with some disappointment.

"I flew here right after I hung up the phone. I was afraid you'd die here quietly."

As soon as he said this, Wu Chunhao slapped his mouth in regret.

After that, he sighed and sat down opposite Si Nian.

"I really owe you this once, and I owe you for the rest of my life. I went through thick and thin in HK to take care of your rear area, just so you could live a more relaxed and comfortable life, but you ended up making yourself look like this."

As he spoke, Wu Chunhao picked up the half glass of wine on the table, tilted his head back and drank it in one gulp.

Then he slowly asked Si Nian, "Tell me, what happened?"

Si Nian reached out to grab the bottle of wine, but was held back by Wu Chunhao.

"The rest belongs to me, so don't drink it. Even if this life is earned, you can't waste it like this."

Si Nian suddenly sneered, pushed away Wu Chunhao's hand, and filled the empty cup.

There was some helplessness in his tone.

"In the past two years, I really didn't care about anything. I just put my heart into my work and thought I could hold on as long as I could. Anyway, I didn't have anything to worry about."

"After two years, I thought a miracle might happen, and I began to have some hope that I shouldn't have. I started to live my life carefully, paying attention to this and that, and living like an older person, just to wait for her to come back and see her again."

"At that time, I always thought, if I could have more time, I could see her again, and I would be satisfied."

"Then I worked hard for another three years and finally got her back."

Si Nian was laughing, and suddenly his voice choked up.

He lowered his head, shook his shoulders and said to Wu Chunhao, "But, Haozi, you know, after I met her once, I couldn't help wanting to see her again. I couldn't control my desire to get closer to her."

"Until today, she told me that the next time we meet, we should just pretend we had never met. I suddenly came to my senses. I didn't know what I had done. I started to blame myself. I shouldn't have appeared in front of her again."

After silently listening to Si Nian's long speech, Wu Chunhao sighed again.

It turned out that Jiang Sui had returned. No wonder Si Nian started to behave abnormally.

"This girl Jiang Sui is your calamity."

"Jiu'er, since we have made up our minds, why don't we just forget about her and live a good life for a few more years?"

Si Nian picked up the photo that had been lying quietly on the table, picked out from the broken photo frame, and gently stroked it back and forth with his fingers for a while.

He suddenly asked Wu Chunhao, "Can you forget that you still have a heart?"

Wu Chunhao was a little confused by his nonsensical questions. He frowned and didn't know how to answer.

Si Nian pinched the photo between his fingers and looked out the window.

After a long while, he whispered, "She is my heart. Without her, how can I live?"

Si Nian once told Jiang Sui that she had already grown in his heart.

As long as his heart beats, he will never forget her.

Therefore, his love for her is hidden in his body, immortal and indestructible.

——

After that rainy and foggy night, Jiang Sui never saw Si Nian again.

It was as if the fate that we had met unexpectedly before was over in an instant.

At the end of June, Jiang Sui took advantage of the weekend to fly to Shenhai City.

Because this Sunday is the wedding of her good friends Xiao Wen and Cui Jin.

Just when she was working overtime even during the May Day holiday last month, Xiao Wen and Li Ai quietly came to find her from Shenhai and HK respectively.

That night, the two of them blocked her at the door of her workplace.

When they saw her, both of them looked like they wanted to kill her. They stared at her from a distance and shouted her name loudly.

"Jiang Sui!"

When Jiang Sui saw that it was them, he ran over and hugged them both.

"Wenwen, Sister Ai, why are you here? I'm so happy to see you!"

But before they had hugged each other for just a few seconds, Xiao Wen pulled Jiang Sui away with a look of disgust.

"Hey, Jiang Sui, stand still."

Jiang Sui took a step back, looked at Xiao Wen with amusement and asked, "What's wrong?"

Xiao Wen asked with a straight face, "Do you take us two good sisters seriously? You haven't contacted us or come to see us since you came back for so long. We have to come to you ourselves!"

"That's right! He should be punished!" Li Ai echoed from the side.

Jiang Sui's face suddenly fell, and he shook their arms, one by one.

"Oh, it's my fault. Please don't bother with me, sisters. I've been busy with work since I came back. It's either closed training or overtime. It's hard for interns! I accept the punishment. I'll treat you two sisters to a big meal, okay?"

Seeing that Jiang Sui admitted her mistake sincerely and that they had indeed blocked her at the entrance of her workplace, Xiao Wen and Li Ai stopped teasing her on purpose.

The two looked at each other and suddenly laughed.

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore. I heard from Old Wu that you were back, so I hurried to ask about Wenwen. But you didn't even contact her. So we discussed it and decided to come directly to find you. I just happened to have good news to tell you."

Did he know it from Wu Chunhao? Then Si Nian must have told him.

Thinking of Si Nian, Jiang Sui's heart tightened again.
