Her steps seemed hurried under the dim streetlights. Su Jing's heart was pounding, but she kept pace. She couldn't let the guy see she was scared. She rubbed the black iron ring on her finger, wondering where to strike the first blow if it was another robbery.

When she was about to approach the figure standing in the shadow, she had already quietly raised her hand, ready to strike first. However, when the man walked out of the shadow, Su Jing's fist stopped in mid-air, and she saw a familiar face.

"Fuck! Are you trying to scare me on purpose?" Su Jing cursed, a ghostly fire shot up to her head, and she punched him in the stomach with her left hand, which was not wearing the ring, neither lightly nor heavily, controlling the force just right.

Jiang Yi held his stomach and said with a smirk, "You haven't learned your lesson after being stabbed several times, and you come home so late every day."

"Damn it! If you'd been a step slower, I'd have punched you in the face, handsome boy!" Su Jing raised her fist, which was covered with a black iron ring, and shook it in front of him angrily. "Don't you want this face anymore?"

Jiang Yi put away his playful smile, shrugged and said, "If you're not in a hurry, why don't you stay with me and talk for a while before going home?"

"Is there something?" Su Jing put down her hand.

"fine."

"Then why should I accompany you? Do you want me to marry you?" Su Jing asked with a raised eyebrow.

"You can make a promise if you want." Jiang Yi answered casually without any emotion.

Su Jing didn't say anything and waited quietly for his next words.

"Something happened at home and I'm in a bad mood, but after thinking about it, I don't know who to talk to." His voice was low and seemed to tremble slightly.

"What's going on?" Su Jing's tone softened.

"How about," Jiang Yi said hesitantly, "Why don't you go to my house and talk about it?"

"Well, it's warmer at home, no, that..." Jiang Yi noticed that her expression was wrong, and quickly added.

"Okay." Su Jing said decisively. She could see that he was really in a bad mood, and it was really hard for her to refuse this man.

The alley was not long, and the shadows of the two people made the street lights in the distance look very long. Su Jing looked at the shadows and deliberately stepped back half a step to make the shadows look like two people holding hands.

"What are you laughing at?" Jiang Yi was puzzled when he saw the smile on her face.

"Shadow, it's like holding hands. You know, I've been looking forward to walking with you like this in my previous life." Su Jing's eyes drifted into the distance, as if thinking about something.

"Previous life?" Jiang Yi was puzzled, but he didn't think about anything else.

"Haha, no, I was just kidding. You know, a talented girl like me likes to daydream."

Yes, she likes writing those things. She still keeps all the poems she wrote for herself since she was a child, but she doesn't even know it.

Thinking of what Su Jing wrote to him, Jiang Yi felt a warm feeling in his heart. It seemed that only she could make him feel completely defenseless.

Arriving at the Jiang residence, everything was exactly as Su Jing remembered it, unchanged. When his family moved here in fifth grade, he had invited his classmates to celebrate his birthday. Su Jing had already been there twice before.

Su Jing looked at the living room in a daze.

"What are you thinking about? I really didn't..." Jiang Yi wanted to explain.

"No, I just thought that nothing has changed since I last came here."

"How long?"

"Yes, it's been a long, long time." Su Jing sighed.

Jiang Yi went to make a cup of hot fruit juice and came out. Seeing Su Jing leaning on the sofa in a very relaxed posture, he smiled and said, "You really are not shy at all. What other woman is like you? When you go to someone else's house, you don't know how to sit properly. You either lie down or lean against the wall."

Su Jing rolled her eyes at him, ignored him, and gestured for him to hand the fruit to her.

After taking a sip, she still didn't get up and handed the cup back to him, saying, "It's a little hot."

Jiang Yi took it and put it back on the coffee table.

"Tell me what you want. I'm a big empty trash can now. If you have any complaints, just dump them in."

After a long silence, Jiang Yi slowly spoke: "My dad has a woman outside."

There was silence again. It was difficult to comfort people about something like this.

"I saw it, but I'm not sure if my mother knows about it."

"I don't want them to get divorced, but if my mother knew, she would definitely not tolerate it."

Su Jing remained silent, listening to him talk for a long time. Jiang Yi also didn't look up, talking to himself. He knew that others couldn't make the decision on such matters, so he was just looking for someone to talk to. Besides, if he didn't see Su Jing's face, he wouldn't feel embarrassed.

It wasn't until Jiang Yi didn't speak for a long time that Su Jing said, "How about I have a drink with you?"

Jiang Yi got up and went to the kitchen, and came out ten minutes later.

Su Jing asked, "Did you just go and plant the sorghum?"

Jiang Yi put the plate in his hand on the coffee table and said, "I fried some peanuts."

"It's really troublesome."

Su Jing wasn't good at comforting people, and she also knew that many times people didn't need comfort, just quiet companionship and being a trash can. Someone who treated you like a trash can must have trusted you deeply. So, she was still very happy that the distance between her and this man had gotten closer.

However, after two glasses of beer, Su Jing felt a little drunk. She had a poor alcohol tolerance and became a little impulsive after drinking. She felt that she had a lot to say to Jiang Yi.

"Jiang Yi, do you know? I chased you in my last life, but you ignored me. I chased you again in this life, but you still ignored me, so now I've given up. But now that I've given up, you're willing to pay attention to me. Sigh, tell me, are you sick?"

"It's only two glasses. You wouldn't be so drunk as to talk nonsense, right? Or even in your previous life." Jiang Yi was a little helpless.

"No, I'm drunk, but I'm not confused. I'm telling you, I won't chase you anymore in this life. It's boring. I need to make money. When I have money, I'll find a bunch of guys who are more handsome than you to play with. Ha, I don't care about you."

"Okay, you're really drunk, how about you take a nap on the sofa?"

"Really, you have to believe me, everything I say is true, you have to believe me."

"Okay, I believe it."

Jiang Yi often saw women saying they liked him when they were drunk, but he had never seen a woman say she gave up on him after getting drunk.

"I won't pursue you anymore. Actually, you like me, but you don't know it now. When you find out in the future, you will have already lost me. People are like this. They always miss the best people at the best age without realizing it."

Jiang Yi was speechless. He felt that this woman was drunk and crazy.

"Don't you believe it? Or do you not admit it? Then why did you put all the gifts I gave you and the poems I wrote in the back of the closet? And you wrapped them so nicely with a silk scarf, did you know? The birthday card I gave you that year is out of battery, out of battery, and it won't sing the birthday song." As Su Jing spoke, her voice became louder, her eyes turned red, and tears flowed quietly.

Jiang Yi was filled with inexplicable surprise. How did she know his hidden secrets? Those secrets he had never told anyone before?

His heartbeat quickened, and a thought flashed through his mind: Could it be that he had really liked her for a long time, but hadn't realized it? Could it be that the past life fate she talked about really existed? Jiang Yi found her incredible. This girl was making him feel more and more different, making him want to understand her more and more, to get closer to her.

Was Su Jing drunk? A little, but she wasn't confused. She just felt a lump in her stomach, and she wanted to speak out. She didn't want to pursue this man anymore, but she really cared about him. She didn't want him to repeat the mistakes of his past life, and she wanted him to live a peaceful life. Taking advantage of her drunken state, she could say whatever she wanted. It would be best if he believed her, but it didn't matter if he didn't.

"You know, some things in this life can be changed, just like you are now in No. 9 Middle School." Su Jing looked at his face with tears in her eyes, very seriously and affectionately.

Her conversation left Jiang Yi increasingly bewildered. However, the sight of tears in her eyes moved him deeply.

The dream that had been recurring recently suddenly appeared in front of Jiang Yi. His heartbeat suddenly quickened, and it felt like something exploded in his head, emitting a burst of white light.

He flipped over and straddled Su Jing's legs, his hands resting on the sofa backrest. He stared intently at her, his breath coming in short bursts on her face. However, Su Jing didn't have the shyness or nervousness he'd expected. Instead, she looked at him with a nonchalant and provocative expression, like a ball of fire meeting an ice knife, piercing his heart and making him forget what he had intended to do.

The face he had just approached moved back slightly and froze in the air without moving.

Su Jing's face moved closer to him. The tears in her eyes had receded. She blinked, put on a teasing smile and said, "I know what you want to do, and I'm willing to do it." After saying that, Su Jing stopped, as if waiting for his response.

Jiang Yi honestly just wanted to chat with her today, and had no intention of doing anything wrong. But after a few drinks and her tearful look, he suddenly had this thought. Believe him, he really wasn't lying to her.

But how could he explain this? No explanation, forget it!

"I, I," Jiang Yi's "I" was stuck in his throat and he couldn't continue for a long time.

Su Jing suddenly smiled, raised her chin, and gently touched Jiang Yi's lips with the tip of her nose. Her breath swept across his lips, making them numb and itchy.

"In my past and present lives, I've always liked you so much and been obsessed with you. You're really beautiful," Su Jing's eyes were a little blurry. She raised her hand to touch his face and murmured, "But it's too early now. I must be responsible for myself. We all have to be responsible for our own lives. You can't give me anything now, and we don't have a future. Besides, you don't even know if you like me now, so how can I have anything with you? My first time should be with the person I love the most, and the person who loves me the most."

Alcohol always makes people talk too much. Su Jing was not drunk, but she wanted to take this opportunity to tell him everything she could. She hoped that he would live a healthy and peaceful life.

Her words made Jiang Yi's already bad mood even worse.

She had originally wanted to find someone she trusted to talk to, but now that she had achieved her goal, this person had actually ignited her inner anger. She had originally thought that this person would never reject her, but not only did he put out the fire with a basin of ice water, he also stabbed her heart with a knife.

A teenage boy, pampered and coddled since birth, when had he ever been so hurt? And the first person to hit him was someone who had liked him for years. What the hell!

"Do you know why I want to give up on you? Because you are useless! Which woman would look for a man who can't support her? Besides being good-looking, what else do you have?"

Su Jing muttered a lot, but Jiang Yi didn't remember what happened afterwards. He only remembered that when he finished the rest of the wine, Su Jing had already fallen asleep on the sofa.

The woman he had dreamed of many times was right next to him, but Young Master Jiang had no more thoughts about her.
