Uh!
Does anyone call themselves fierce?
Mi Jing felt embarrassed and smiled, "No, I just thought of my mom and dad. My mom’s temper is quite similar to yours, straightforward and true to herself."
"Haha, I like how you said that!" The woman laughed heartily.
Seeing the woman happy, Mi Jing also started to laugh, "Big sister, thank you for your help just now. This is a coffee shop my friend and I opened. Co by when you have ti, I’ll treat you to so desserts and juice."
"Sure." The woman accepted Mi Jing’s business card without hesitation, then pulled the man beside her to stand up and said, "I’m in a good mood today, I don’t want to divorce you anymore!"
After saying that, she turned to Mi Jing and said, "Girl, I’ll be leaving now. See you next ti."
Mi Jing smiled and waved at her, thinking, this woman is really interesting, in a good mood and suddenly doesn’t want to divorce?
Not long after the woman left, Mi Wan finished her paperwork and ca out too. The two of them walked out of the Civil Affairs Bureau side by side, when suddenly a car drove into Mi Jing’s view. Through the rising car window, she vaguely saw a familiar face!
"Sis, look, it’s Ji!"
But before Mi Jing could finish her sentence, the car window had already closed, and Mi Wan couldn’t see the people inside at all.
Her first reaction was joy, but it lasted only a fleeting second. Once she realized the reality, all she felt was a deep sense of loneliness.
"It couldn’t possibly be him, you might be mistaken." Ji Dongquan’s family is in Singapore, how could he appear in Jin City? Even if he ca back for a visit, he wouldn’t just wander around the Civil Affairs Bureau.
"Why not? My gut tells that was Ji! Maybe he didn’t see us, so..." As she spoke, Mi Jing suddenly realized that without confirmation, she shouldn’t say things that would both sadden and raise her sister’s hopes.
Once there’s hope and then disappointnt, that feeling, she understood, is really awful and unbearable!
"Jingjing, even if it was him, I don’t have the courage to chase anymore." Twelve years had passed, and an unbridgeable chasm now separated them. She got married and divorced. And he... was probably married with kids too.
In this life, they were destined never to be together.
So people, once missed, are lost forever. Even if they remain unforgettable, it’s all in vain.
"..."
Mi Jing stayed silent, pondering if there was a chance that happiness could quietly approach her sister without her needing to chase it.
In the blink of an eye, several days passed. It was Saturday, a sunny and clear day. Mi Jing was eagerly awaiting her good friend—Ruan Pianran.
She drove to the station and looked around the crowd, and it didn’t take long for her to spot the unique and beautiful Ruan Pianran.
Why say unique?
Because she had long, straight hair draping over her shoulders that didn’t make her look disheveled at all. Instead, she exuded elegance, purity, and a touch of mystery, just like a character from a novel, absolutely a rare beauty.
"Ruanruan!"
Mi Jing shouted to Ruan Pianran in the crowd and waved her hand.
Hearing the familiar call, Ruan Pianran quickly saw Mi Jing, then dragged her suitcase and walked briskly towards her.
"This ti you must have brought a lot of goodies again, right?" Mi Jing took the large bag from Ruan Pianran’s hand and said with a smile.
"Not much, you’ll probably finish it in four or five days."
Ruan Pianran was deeply impressed by Mi Jing’s surprising appetite.
Every ti she visited Jin City, she always brought Mi Jing’s favorite specialties from Cili, and also brought small gifts for Mi Jing’s parents. Because back in university, she had als at Mi Jing’s ho more often than at the school cafeteria. She always rembered this kindness.
"Next ti don’t bring so much, it’s so inconvenient to travel with." Mi Jing was of course happy to receive the specialties, but she couldn’t help worrying about her friend.
"These things aren’t that heavy." Ruan Pianran didn’t mind at all and linked arms with Mi Jing while dragging her suitcase toward the station exit.
After leaving the station, Mi Jing drove Ruan Pianran to an apartnt building, and they went upstairs together.
This was an old building without an elevator, yet due to its proximity to the city center, the rent wasn’t cheap. Room 402 was where Ruan Pianran’s boyfriend, An Mingyuan, lived. To save costs, he chose to share the apartnt with others.
Click—
Ruan Pianran took out the key and unlocked the door. As soon as it opened, both of them were stunned.
"Ruanruan, did we co to the wrong place?"
The room’s layout had changed completely, and it had undergone simple renovations with a sweet style, clearly indicating a woman or a feminine gay person lived here. But Mi Jing rembered An Mingyuan’s roommate was a Northerner, a ruggedly masculine guy!
After a brief mont of shock, Ruan Pianran quickly regained her composure. She carried her things inside and said, "We didn’t co to the wrong place, Mingyuan swapped roommates."
"When did this happen? Did she tell you because she knew you were coming?" After Mi Wan’s incident, Mi Jing had beco more sensitive, and any woman would find this unusual.
"Almost a month ago." Ruan Pianran’s expression remained calm. She said, "He discussed it with beforehand and only let his female colleague move in after getting my consent." Although she was ntally prepared, seeing the drastic changes in the living room still made her a bit uneasy.
"Are you out of your mind?"
Mi Jing couldn’t believe it. How could soone as calm, careful, and rational as Ruan Pianran agree to let her boyfriend share an apartnt with a female colleague? Isn’t this inviting trouble? And judging by the changes in the living room, it felt like the female colleague moved in with the air of a hostess, silently challenging Ruan Pianran!
"I trust Mingyuan, he wouldn’t do anything inappropriate." Ruan Pianran wasn’t indifferent, nor was she without precautions, but after all these years of ups and downs, trust beca the strongest bond between them and the bridge maintaining their relationship.
As her best friend, Mi Jing deeply understood how important and esteed An Mingyuan was in Ruan Pianran’s heart.
You could say, An Mingyuan was the first ray of light in her dark life, illuminating her existence and igniting hope for her future. In this world, An Mingyuan could surpass everyone.
Even if he wasn’t wealthy; even if he didn’t possess breathtaking looks; even if many thought that Ruan Pianran, such a beautiful flower, was wasted on soone like An Mingyuan. But no matter how the world’s eyes belittled An Mingyuan, in Ruan Pianran’s eyes, he would always be the most dazzling star. Hence, he effortlessly triumphed over one excellent suitor after another pursuing Ruan Pianran.
