As soon as we reached the door, I saw Song Jingye. He also happened to look over, and our eyes met for a moment. 。She didn't know why, but she didn't want to see Song Jingye in this situation. Maybe it was because of their unpleasant parting the day before, or maybe it was because Song's mother beside him reminded her of what she said in the hospital. Perhaps she was afraid that seeing him would make her unconsciously follow YaoYao's gaze. Whatever the reason, at that moment, she turned and walked away as if possessed. 。Song Jingye saw her leave and hurriedly got up to chase after her, but only saw her thin figure getting into the car and driving away. 。He couldn't leave right away, with Old Master Lu present and having introduced him to several seniors, he had to socialize. 。All night, he was absent-minded, texting her but never replying. 。Just as the banquet ended, Lu Kuò forcefully dragged him to have a drink with Zhuó Yǔ'ān and Gù Ruǎn Dōng. 。They drank, but he didn't. He hasn't touched alcohol since Zheng Ke's wedding. 。So I sat there, listening to them chat and waiting for my phone to reply. The little girl has a big temper; she hasn't spoken to him all day, and just now she saw him turn around and leave. 。Chen Ning returned actually after taking a taxi out, she felt a little regretful. So after the banquet ended, she came back and personally delivered her gift to Yaoyao's hands. 。

There were a lot of people today, and Yaoyao didn't notice that she wasn't there just now. After chatting happily with her for a few words, she said: "I'm going to have drinks with Ruirui and Tinglan now, come with me, I'll introduce you to them." 。Ruan Ruan is a university teacher and Ting Lan is a lawyer, you guys will have common topics. 。“

Chen Ning said she wasn't feeling her best today, so she politely declined: “Let’s do it next time.” >>> 。Okay, let's get together again sometime. 。After leaving from Zaozao, she didn't rush home. She walked alone in the night wind, aimlessly. 。She seems to be getting a little greedy, wanting more and more. 。At first, she was just happy to see him;

later on, she wanted his attention;

now, greedily, she wants his love, or at least wholehearted love;

she even dares to throw tantrums at him now, and doesn't even bother replying to his text messages. 。Does she, like this, truly deserve his loveShe knows, without him, she is nothing. 。

But she couldn't help herself. 。Walking aimlessly, she suddenly bumped into a tall figure standing by the roadside. He had been watching her for who knows how long. 。She stopped in her tracks, not taking another step, standing two paces away from him, their eyes locked. 。He was no longer as sharp as before, his expression unusually gentle: "Why are you running away when you see me" 。"The

gift didn't run away, it fell. I'll go home and get it." 。"Oh, you dropped your phone too"

"What"

"Otherwise, why haven't you been replying to messages" 。He said 。Chen Ling's already sour and bitter heart felt even more so at his seemingly sarcastic, yet playful words. A hint of grievance instantly welled up in her. 。Song Jingye strode towards her, pulled her into his arms, and muttered softly, "Silly girl," 。Chen Ling recalled pushing him away, but he held her tighter with even more force. All she heard in his ear was, "I'm sorry, I was wrong." 。"

Chen Ling froze, where was he wrong, it was all her fault" 。I shouldn't have gotten angry with you, and I shouldn't get so upset just hearing the name Xu Haichen. 。I shouldn't have been such a fool and only realized my feelings now. 。。"Song Jingye's arm tightened, hugging her closer: "Let me explain first." 。His lips were suddenly kissed by Chen Ning, who tiptoed up to him. 。

All the words he wanted to say died in his throat. His mind went blank, unable to think, and he forgot the next sentence he'd been about to utter. 。Only the touch of lips is real, the only place on my body that feels anything. 。All thoughts, all blood are concentrated on those lips. 。He began to kiss her back, passionately. 。The body, honed by years of training, was taut, muscles involuntarily straining, every part of him rigid. 。

“Uncle” 。When Chen Ling found a break, she slightly turned her face, finally giving herself a chance to catch her breath. Her body was almost crushed by him. 。Song Jingye's breath was hot, burning her heart with its intensity. Even after she turned away, he remained in the same position, his forehead pressed against hers, his lips brushing her cheek. He was struggling to regulate his breath, desperately trying to regain control of himself. 。

Here on the street, cars are coming and going. 。Chen Ning blushed after her impulsive kiss earlier. She had calmed down now, and gradually lowered her head, burying her face in his chest. 。His chest was solid, yet it couldn't muffle the frantic beating of his heart within, brimming with vibrant life. 。After hugging for a while, Chen Ning looked up and said, "Uncle, I love you." 。Whether or not your heart is empty, whether or not you still have someone else's corner in your mind, and whether you are out of a sense of responsibility or habit, I've made up my mind. That's your business. 。And I love you is my business 。"Song Jingye sighed, helped her up from his arms, and changed to holding her hand and walking forward." 。

Not a word, not a statement. 。Chen Ling felt a tinge of disappointment, though she knew the facts. Still, she hoped he could deny it. 。After walking a few steps, he tightened his grip on her hand, until she could feel the calluses on his palm rubbing against hers painfully. Finally, he stopped and mumbled again in a low voice: " Idiot" 。Where did I go wrong 。“Chen Ling finally had the charming demeanor of a little girl, she replied,” 。Song Jingye said, "I said I was an idiot" 。“Let me think about it. Lately, I've been pondering a question: what exactly is love I did have feelings for YaoYao before. Back then, I was preparing to transfer back to Beijing from the northwest. During a business trip to Shenzhou, I met her. She was beautiful and had a great personality. She was quite different from how she was when we were kids. Like you said, seeing her brought me genuine joy. This was a real feeling, and I don't want to deny it.” 。Because I had loved before, I always thought love should be that heart-fluttering feeling. 。I don't know when you first came into my sight, not even I realized it myself. By the time I noticed, I had already grown accustomed to your presence, to the way you eat with gusto, to the way you run with all your might, to the way you often stare at me with that goofy expression. 。If you work in X country, I'm worried about your safety. I even went to X country under false pretenses just to make sure you were alright. 。You were laughing and joking with other boys, and I felt upset. I got annoyed by everyone, and later I realized it was jealousy, being green with envy. 。"Come back to me," I later realized, love is diverse. 。My feelings for YaoYao are more like an illusion, something in the air, intangible and unreachable. But my feelings for you are like a tree that grows from the soil. Even before it sprouts, its roots have already taken hold in the earth, strong and unbreakable. 。”ing in the same bed every night.
