gwen came back from having lunch with Xuanxuan and received a call from the competition organizing committee, saying that the competition would be postponed and hoping that the contestants could patie...Sitting in the car, heading towards his workplace, Chikawa suddenly felt a familiar feeling. It was as if this kind of madness had happened not long ago, also using work as an excuse to visit Qin Jingwen at the police academy.
At that time, he was certain that he liked Qin Jingwen. But now, was he here because he liked Kou Dan, or simply to meet and explain things clearly 。> 。Before starting work, Chi Chuan immersed himself in his tasks. The work wasn't difficult, but it was tedious and time-consuming. 。Until the evening work hours, Chikawa only had his own freedom. 。For Chi Chuan, thinking about seeing Kou Dan was a bit difficult. 。The kinds of difficulties are different, some can be solved, some he cannot solve, for example, from now on his heartbeat is a little irregular. 。“Koudan” 。" Kou Dan had been busy all day, she just walked out of the police station a few steps when she heard someone calling her from behind 。The voice was so familiar, familiar to the point that she doubted if it was a hallucination caused by missing him too much. 。Kodan simply paused his steps without looking back. After curling his lips into a self-deprecating smile, he continued walking forward. 。But just two steps later, the sound rose together again. 。"KODAN " 。This time, even though Kou Dan suspected it was a hallucination, she turned around to check. 。This turn wasn't just a case of auditory hallucination, even what she saw with her own eyes began to feel suspect. 。"Chi Chuan..." Kou Dan opened her mouth in surprise, then quickly corrected herself. 。"Chi Ju, how did you come here" 。“ Her heart was pounding, she didn't know what words could describe her current mood. 。She had almost forgotten about Chi Chuan, but whenever this time came, Chi Chuan would appear again, awakening some memories she had already forgotten. 。"Come to the meeting, we need to handle some business." 。He answered while walking towards Kou Dan, but with every step his heartbeat quickened and his excitement grew. He even began to try and control his expression for fear of laughing uncontrollably and being seen. 。 "Oh 。"
Kou Dan was inexplicably disappointed. It turned out that Chi Chuan was here on business, and she just said so, there was no reason why she would have seen him here out of the blue.
" 。But it's not bad either, as long as he doesn't come over to explain himself or make things difficult for her. 。"When did you come" Because she didn't know what to say, because there were no more common topics, Koudan could only casually ask. 。 "I came over this morning and just finished work now." 。”
Because of his irregular heartbeat, Chikawa couldn't find a more suitable topic to talk about. He was only passively asked and answered. 。"That's right, what a real coincidence..." 。"If you come one day late, I'll leave." 。" Kou Dan was very embarrassed, even at a loss. 。This meeting was very sudden, so sudden that she started to question her life. 。 "I…" Change came over Chikawa, leaving him bewildered and speechless. 。A big man, a straight-up tough guy, how can he not be rendered helpless in front of Kou Dan He doesn't even know what to say. 。"Chi Ju, I'm leaving tomorrow. I need to go back and pack now." 。 。Such a situation, when Koudan confessed his feelings, was something he never expected. 。She thought they were both rational and sensible people who would quickly adjust their emotions back to their original friendship. 。However, the reality is that even colleagues can't do it, and not even a city can exist at the same time. 。It's a bit pathetic to think of such a result. 。"Kou Dan, I haven't had dinner yet, let's eat together." 。"
Chikawa didn't know what to say. He didn't want to just part ways with Kou Dan like this, so in a moment of desperation, he could only use dinner to keep Kou Dan.
" 。He had a lot to say to KouDan, but after the last two incidents, he didn't know which words to say and which not to. 。Even if he was invited to dinner with Kou Dan right now, he wouldn't know what to say. 。Kou Dan stood there hesitating for a moment. If she refused, it would prove that she was stingy and still cared about Chi Chuan. But if she agreed, this meal would be another tasteless one. 。“Okay, I'll ask you " 。" Then she turned around and agreed, deliberately putting on a nonchalant air. " 。Kou Dan chose a Chinese restaurant because she knew Zhi Chuan liked to eat Chinese food. 。The restaurant was Kodan's choice, but the dishes were Chi Chuan's selection. 。At this point, Chi Chuan didn't even know what he wanted to eat, but he ordered four dishes and a soup without hesitation. 。When the waiter confirmed the menu, Kordan realized they were all her favorites. 。"Waiter, please take that pork chop off." 。" Keudan was resisting, refusing to accept this as a habit from Chichuan in this way. 。She doesn't like Chi Chuan remembering what she likes to eat, and she doesn't like Chi Chuan remembering all of her... 。Such a Chikawa would make her reluctant to give up, and would make her still have hope for him. 。"How did you get rid of it" Zhi Chuan asked in confusion. 。Since I don't like eating meat, I'm losing weight. Maybe I should eat more vegetarian food 。" She really wanted to tell Chikawa the real reason directly, but once she said it, it would prove that all her efforts over this period of time were in vain. " 。"You've lost so much weight, are you still dieting Then I'll eat it, I love meat." 。"Waiter, don't remove anything, just keep it as I ordered." 。After Zhichuan finished speaking, he waved his hand to signal the waiter to leave. 。Only Kou Dan and Chi Chuan were left in the private room. Even the air in the room was thick with awkwardness. 。
Finally, Chikawa broke the silence, temporarily setting aside the awkwardness.
"Yeah, I'll head to the next stop tomorrow." 。Kou Dan drank water and didn't look up at Chi Chuan when she replied. 。"When can you return to B City"Chi Chuan continued to ask, although he already knew Kou Dan's thoughts from Qin Jingwen, he still wanted to ask, to make her return to B City 。I don't know, this kind of work is pretty good now. 。If I find a place that's more suitable for me, I won't go back. 。" Keodan didn't hide her thoughts. Perhaps it was what Chi Chuan wanted to hear - that she wasn't going back to City B, so he wouldn't have to worry about unexpectedly running into her. " 。"The working conditions and living environment in City B are both very good. Your family is there, so why wouldn't you go back" 。"Kou Dan, our affairs can be resolved slowly, but don't let these things affect your future. 。" Chikawa started persuading without even thinking, as if he would miss his chance if he waited a second longer. " 。"Chi Ju, B city is your home, not mine. " 。It was through various transfers that I ended up in City B. 。To be honest, I'm really thinking about going back home now. 。Although B city has everything, it doesn't feel like home. 。Moreover, my parents are getting older and need me to take care of them. 。"Keodan smiled and responded to Chichuan. " 。She was able to develop in City B, it's all thanks to Chi Chuan. 。She only had a place to stay in City B because she followed Chi Chuan all the way there. 。But that wasn't home, there were no family members. 。After Zhi Chuan expressed his affection, she felt even more lonely. 。This way, the city that made her both lonely and heartbroken wouldn't make her want to stay any longer. 。You can bring your parents to City B, that way you can work properly and take care of them. 。And me, I can also help you take care of them. 。" Latechuan's words came so naturally, as if it was only right for him to say them. Just like Kou Dan's parents were his parents, just like he had a duty to care for Kou Dan's parents. 。However, to Kou Dan, Chi Chuan's words sounded like a joke. She wasn't even attached to this city anymore, so why would she bring her parents here 。"Thank you, Chiju. I shouldn't trouble you with this." 。From now on, I need to plan for my future well. My future is with my parents, and I should settle down and stay by their side. 。"Even if B City is great, it's not suitable for me. 。I… I can't go back. 。“ Kedan seemed to have sealed the conversation. It looks like she's not going to be back to City B now. " 。 。From now on, she would exclude Chikawa from everything she did. She would no longer follow him around like a shadow, not considering anything and just doing whatever he did. 。“I… I promise from now on I won’t bring up anything about us. Our past is in the past, and from now on we can just be colleagues and friends, okay” 。In Chi Chuan's view, this was the most normal kind of relationship, and it should be a standard for their future development. 。But before he could say those words, he hesitated, which meant that if he said them, he would choose Qin Jingwen's first option for her, meaning he didn't like Kou Dan and only considered her a friend or colleague. 。However, in a moment of urgency, Chi Chuan ultimately chose the first option and completely severed ties with Kou Dan. 。 “Chi Ju, you make me feel embarrassed saying that.” 。"I..."
Kou Dan was most afraid of Chi Chuan bringing up the two of them. After Chi Chuan said this, Kou Dan became that pitiful person who needed Chi Chuan's tolerance and his effort to get by.
“Chi Ju, please don't try to persuade me anymore” 。Your intentions, I received them. As for us… huh…” The more Kou Dan spoke, the more awkward they became, the more flustered they felt. 。She even wanted to run away now, to leave this city right now. 。But isn't the look of someone who runs away in such a desperate manner more pitiful and pathetic 。"Chi Ju, I can survive well anywhere and take good care of my parents." 。City, I really won't go back, and I can't add to your trouble 。"
“It’s getting late, I…”
“Kodan, I know…”
“Hurry up and stop talking, or I won't be able to eat this meal.” 。"Kou Dan's words were interrupted by Chi Chuan, but Kou Dan didn't give Chi Chuan a chance to continue. She was afraid of running away in despair and afraid that what Chi Chuan said would be unacceptable to him. 。
Chikawa seemed to be coerced, and didn't dare to say anything more.
It's not easy to see her, and if things go wrong, it's possible I won't see her again for the rest of my life. 。Dinner started, without some topic the atmosphere was really oppressive 。"Kou Dan, Nian Yi said she misses you. When she's not busy, I'll have her call you, okay" 。Chikawa found a topic that could cheer up Kudan, which finally broke the silence. 。"I'll contact her, when she is off on the weekend." 。"Are Aunt and Uncle still doing well" Speaking of Chi Nianyi, Kodan still missed Chi Chuan's parents. 。Regardless of her relationship with Chikawa, the remaining three members of her family have always been kind to her, and she will always remember their kindness. 。an you eat it" The dishes on the table all looked spicy, Chi Chuan asked Qin Jingwen with concern. 。Qin Jingwen wanted the most spicy level, but she ignored Chi Chuan's stomach and preference. 。Befor...
