so far speechless

Cheng Ze found that he was still too young. Even if he wanted to escape from Lin Jiuyan, his every move and even his hobbies, habits, and personality were tightly controlled by Lin Jiuyan.

"But at least I will reject you." Not to be outdone, Cheng Ze replied to Lin Jiuyan like this.

I don't know if this sentence is a little too much, Cheng Ze saw Lin Jiuyan's dim eyes, and then, the trouser leg was pulled, Cheng Ze lowered his head, looking at Shen Xinran who was looking up at him.

"Brother, will I have a present for Christmas?"

"Shen Xinran!" Su Lu ran to her son, "How can I ask my brother for a gift?"

"It's okay, Mr. Su," Cheng Ze saw Shen Xinran's big eyes filled with grievances, and hurriedly waved his hands, "Xinran has been obedient these few days, brother will give you a big gift!"

"What gift!" Sure enough, it was a child, and when he heard that there was a gift to take, his aggrieved appearance that was about to cry just now disappeared.

"Well," Cheng Ze stretched out his hand, and tapped Shen Xinran's nose, "Secret it!"

Coming out of Su Lu's office, Cheng Ze sighed, and sure enough, another person followed behind him.Standing at the door of the elevator, he thought for a while, and finally turned his head, and met Lin Jiuyan's eyes for the first time.

"Speak clearly, I forgive you." Cheng Ze said those words that he had accumulated in his heart for a long time. Seeing the hope rising in Lin Jiuyan's eyes, he became ruthless and said the second half of the sentence , "But we can't go back."

"Ozawa, we can start over..." Lin Jiuyan was like a child who was told that the activity class was cancelled, the hope in his eyes just now was extinguished by Cheng Ze's splash of cold water.

"No more," Cheng Ze gripped his pants tightly. Only in this way can he insist on finishing these words, "Lin Jiuyan, I don't want to fall twice in the same place."

"Xiao Ze!" Seeing that Cheng Ze wanted to turn around, Lin Jiuyan became anxious. He stepped forward and grabbed Cheng Ze's shoulder, "Give me this chance, okay? I was the one who was not good before. We never Friends start..."

"Lin Jiuyan!" Cheng Ze called out his name and interrupted him, "It is still possible to be friends after a relationship is over, but those who have never truly loved each other."

"I admit, I loved you, so let me go."

Cheng Ze pressed down the elevator as if he was running away, and he was afraid that Lin Jiuyan would be the same as he came in, so he frantically pressed the close button after entering the elevator.Finally, as the elevator doors closed, he could no longer see the man.

After getting out of the elevator, Cheng Ze didn't return to his office immediately, but turned into the corridor beside him.With his eyes closed and his head against the wall, he tried hard to forget the feeling of looking at Lin Jiuyan just now.

Really, it's too familiar, but at the same time, it's familiar and strange.

They looked at each other indistinguishably from before, but the emotions they contained were completely different.

A month later, M City had its first heavy snowfall since the beginning of winter.

As a southerner, Cheng Ze saw such a scene for the first time: when the curtains were opened, the whole world was covered in white, and the pine trees in the distance were covered with layers of snow, like a princess' tutu skirt.Cheng Ze opened the window and stretched out his hand, wanting to feel the snow up close.Snowflakes fell on the palm of his hand, before he had time to look carefully, they turned into a puddle of water.

Cheng Ze sneezed and closed the window.He took the down jacket from the chair beside him and put it on. Today he has to go to Su Lu's house to fulfill his promise to Shen Xinran.

Su Lu sent an address on WeChat, and Cheng Ze saw that the address of tonight's Christmas party was located in the villa area in the north of the city, thousands of miles away from where he lived.He checked the subway and found that it had fallen at least three times.

Cheng Ze sighed, took the gift he had prepared for Shen Xinran, and planned to go out to receive the baptism of Beifeng.

Before going downstairs, Cheng Ze saw the man standing in the snow through the glass of the corridor.

Lin Jiuyan wrapped his coat tightly, put his hands in his pockets, and stood in the snow.He seemed to have waited for a long time, and the top of his head was covered with falling snow.

Cheng Ze felt his heart twitch suddenly.For some reason, he couldn't stop feeling distressed...

Walking out of the corridor, Lin Jiuyan saw Cheng Ze, rubbed his hands, and ran towards him.

"My sister asked me to pick you up."

Su Lu sent him the address, how could he let him pick her up?

Seeing his flushed face, Cheng Ze didn't have the heart to expose Lin Jiuyan's lies.

"Let's go, go to the car, it's cold outside."

Lin Jiuyan stretched out his hand to pull him, as if thinking that he had stood in the open air for too long, but he still didn't reach out that hand in the end.

Cheng Ze looked at the snow on Lin Jiuyan's head from behind, and felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.

When getting in the car, Cheng Ze chose to sit in the back seat.Lin Jiuyan glanced in the rearview mirror, hesitant to speak.

On a snowy day, there weren't many cars on the road, and they couldn't drive fast. Cheng Ze didn't say a word, quietly watching the buildings passing by, and the dirty snow that was shoveled aside on the road.

At this time, the ringtone of the mobile phone became the chief culprit for breaking the dead silence.

Cheng Ze looked at the unfamiliar number and picked it up.

Before he could put the phone to his ear, the ear-piercing roar cut through Cheng Ze's eardrum like a blade.

"Let Lin Jiuyan answer the phone!!"

This voice, capable of such a frenzied scream, made Cheng Ze know who the person on the other end of the phone was without guessing.

Jiang Qiuming.

"He must be with you! Let him answer the phone!"

Cheng Ze looked at Lin Jiuyan in the driver's seat, as if nothing had happened.

He grasped the steering wheel effortlessly, turning a deaf ear to the phone in Cheng Ze's hand and the woman screaming on the phone.

Jiang Qiuming was crying on the phone like crazy, Cheng Ze didn't hang up the phone, just listened like that.

After waiting for a traffic light, Lin Jiuyan finally turned around and took the phone from Cheng Ze.

"it's me."

His magnetic voice was like a finger pressing the pause button, and Jiang Qiuming's crying stopped abruptly.

"Jiu... Jiu Yan, Jiu Yan! Why didn't you answer my call?"

Like a desperate man groping in the dark seeing the candlelight, Jiang Qiuming paused for two or three seconds before making a more frantic voice.

Cheng Ze lamented that he saw the live version of Crazy for Love.

"Hihiko, don't ignore me! You said——"

"Qiuming." Lin Jiuyan uttered, interrupting Jiang Qiuming's cry. "Give up on me, the forced relationship will not have a good ending."

His words only resulted in Jiang Qiuming's silence for a moment, followed by sharper cries.

"You said it!!! You said it!!!"

"Don't let me tell you what you did behind your back." Lin Jiuyan's voice became serious, and Cheng Ze could hear that he was deliberately suppressing his emotions, "I won't hold you accountable for what you've done. Live on your own."

Before Jiang Qiuming could answer, Lin Jiuyan hung up the phone first.Cheng Ze sat in the back seat and couldn't see his expression.

What did Jiang Qiuming do behind the scenes?Cheng Ze couldn't understand their conversation at all, but the things that Gu Cen told him once slowly emerged in Cheng Ze's mind.

Lin Jiuyan's father and Jiang Qiuming's father...

He remembers all of these.

When the light turned green, Cheng Ze saw that Lin Jiuyan was still motionless, so he leaned over and took the phone from Lin Jiuyan.

"Let's drive first, it's snowing." This was the first time Cheng Ze spoke to Lin Jiuyan after meeting again in M ​​City.

"Okay." Lin Jiuyan lightly shook Cheng Ze's hand, then turned his head and smiled at him.

Cheng Ze happened to see Lin Jiuyan's smiling eyes, and was at a loss for what to do. He patted the back of the driver's seat lightly, "Concentrate on driving."

The snow in the north of the city was heavier than that in the south of the city. The two of them spent nearly three hours on the road before arriving at the villa area where Su Lu lived.

Before Cheng Ze got out of the car, Lin Jiuyan took out a hat from the side and handed it to him.

"Put it on, don't blow your head for a while."

Cheng Ze hesitated for a moment, Lin Jiuyan stuffed the hat into his hand, then unfastened his seat belt, opened the car door, walked to Cheng Ze, and opened the door for him.

"Let's go, Xinran should be waiting." Lin Jiuyan saw that he was still holding the hat he had stuffed into him in a daze, so he took it over and helped him put it on.

Sure enough, the two had just rang the doorbell, and the door was opened not long after.When Shen Xinran saw the two of them, he was about to rush out, but was grabbed by Su Lu who was following behind.Cheng Ze was afraid that he would get a cool breeze, so he hurried into the house and closed the door behind him.

"Brother! You're here!" Shen Xinran almost jumped on Cheng Ze's body.

Cheng Ze squatted down and caught Shen Xinran's arms.

"Is Xin Ran being good lately?"

"Super cute!" Shen Xinran answered the question quickly, and had already spotted the big box in Cheng Ze's hand.

Cheng Ze patted his head, and handed him the gift that Shen Xinran had coveted for a long time. "As a reward for Xinran's super obedience, this is for you."

"Thank you, brother!" Shen Xinran carried the gift and ran to the sofa to unwrap it.

"Xin Ran doesn't see me as uncle anymore." Lin Jiuyan came up from behind Cheng Ze, half joking and half complaining.

Cheng Ze didn't know how to answer him, so he just smiled.

Su Lu came out with two cups of hot milk tea and put them on the coffee table. "Don't just stand, sit down."

Only then did Cheng Ze realize that he was here as a guest, and just as he was about to untie his scarf, Lin Jiuyan stepped up earlier.Cheng Ze's hand froze in the air, Lin Jiuyan helped him untie the scarf, and put it on the side cabinet.Su Lu was right behind the two of them, Cheng Ze suddenly didn't dare to turn his head, for fear that Su Lu would see the intimate action of the two just now.

"Hurry up and say thank you, brother." Cheng Ze heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the voice of Su Lu teaching Shen Xinran to thank him behind him.

He turned around, and Shen Xinran ran to him holding the big gift box of chocolate biscuits that he had picked out for him.His big eyes were blinking, and a childish smile was facing him.

"Thank you brother!"

"You're welcome." Cheng Ze pinched his face, "But you can't eat now, or you won't be able to eat dinner later."

"Okay!" No matter what you say, the child will listen.

Not long after, Su Lu's husband, Shen Xinran's father, Shen Chen also returned home.Cheng Ze thought that there would be many people at the Christmas party, but who knew that there were only a few of them in the end.The five of them ate a sumptuous Western-style dinner together. After the dinner, there were a series of activities to coordinate with Shen Xinran.

Cheng Ze didn't repel him too much, being with Shen Xinran made him feel a lot of relaxation and happiness.Lin Jiuyan would always touch him from time to time, but Cheng Ze just pretended not to know or see him.

Shen Xinran happily ran around the room, and Su Lu chased after him, fearing that he would catch a cold from sweating, and took him upstairs to change on the way.

When everything was over, Shen Xinran was also sleepy.After Shen Chen took him upstairs to sleep, Su Lu looked at Cheng Ze.

"Xiao Cheng, it's late today, and it's still snowing outside. Why don't you and Jiu Yan stay with us for one night today, and our guest room will be cleaned up for you in a while."

Just as Cheng Ze wanted to refuse, Lin Jiuyan agreed from the side.

"It's okay, thank you, sister. I'm also very afraid of driving at night."

The gazes of the two fell on Cheng Ze in unison.

What can Cheng Ze do? He was brought here by Lin Jiuyan. If Lin Jiuyan wants to stay, he can't go back.It's too extravagant for him to take a taxi back to his home from here.If he was determined to leave, Lin Jiuyan wouldn't send him off, but if he felt bad about it, Su Lu might have a different view of him.

"Then...thank you, Mr. Su."
