Garden of Time and Space

Chapter 52
For several days in a row, no matter how Wu Nuan sent Li Jiu a message, Li Jiu didn't reply or contact Wu Nuan, but he didn't go out to dinner with his colleagues, and he went back to the apartment directly after work.He and Wu Nuan seemed to be in a cold war, and Wu Nuan only sent text messages and never called him again.

On the fifth day of no contact with Wu Nuan, Li Jiu was working overtime when Wu Nuan called again, and Li Jiu pressed to answer.

On the opposite side, Wu Nuan's voice softened, "Li Jiu, let's have a chat."

Li Jiu: "I'm working overtime, I'll call you after get off work."

Wu Nuan: "Li Jiu, you always work overtime. What is there to do when you just went to practice? Wu Yue's boyfriend in our dormitory also goes to practice. He calls and texts her every day, and cares about how she is doing in school, but What about you?" Wu Nuanyue said more and more aggrieved, "Every time Wu Yue asks me, I always say that you care about me, sometimes I even hide in the corridor secretly, pretending to answer your phone, Li Jiu, if you want to A person, even if he doesn't have time, will find time to contact him."

Li Jiu: "Wu Nuan, I'm really busy."

After that, there was a silence between the two, and no one spoke anymore.

After being silent for about ten seconds, Li Jiu hung up the phone and went back to work. However, because he was in a bad mood recently, he made frequent mistakes at work and had problems with new projects, so he was called to scold him by the leader.

Until he got off work, Li Jiu was in a depressed mood. It was too late to work overtime, and there were no people on the street, but he suddenly didn't want to go home, so he took a stroll around the business district near the company. It was closed, but the lights were still on, and there were still many people walking on the pedestrian street. He was walking on the street, and he received a call from Wu Nuan again.

Wu Nuan: "Li Jiu, didn't you say that you are very busy, then why did your colleagues say that you are off work, but there is no one at home? Where are you busy?"

Li Jiu: "Are you here to inspect the post?"

Wu Nuan: "My boyfriend doesn't reply to text messages and often disappears. Why can't I come to check?"

Li Jiu: "Wu Nuan, what you are doing now really makes me a little breathless."

Wu Nuan: "Can you let me breathe like this? Do you know how anxious I am when I can't contact you every day since your internship. I have been working hard to maintain our relationship. I am even cautious. You said I'm busy, I'm afraid I'll disturb you by calling, I don't even dare to call you, I can only send you text messages when I miss you, but you never reply, do I still look like your girlfriend? I did this Many, but what about you?"

Li Jiu: "Wu Nuan, you should find something to do instead of putting all your thoughts on me, I'm too tired."

Li Jiu hung up the phone, he was overwhelmed by the company's affairs, and he had to deal with Wu Nuan's suspicion and grievance every day. He really hoped that Wu Nuan could understand him, but how should he tell her about him? Difficulties, every time she calls she is either making trouble or complaining, does he have a chance to talk about his difficulties?

Even if he wanted to say it, he didn't want to say anything after listening to Wu Nuan's words.

Li Jiu, who was walking on the road, happened to meet Xiao Q who came out of watching a movie with his friends. Xiao Q saw Li Jiu sitting on the roadside steps depressed, and asked his friend to go back first. After that, Xiao Q went to the nearby 24-hour convenience store to buy He bought 4 cans of beer and sat next to Li Jiu.

She didn't ask anything, just opened a can of beer and handed it to Li Jiu. Li Jiu was surprised when he saw Xiao Q. After he took the beer, Xiao Q opened another can and touched Li Jiu. He took a drink and took a big sip.

Li Jiu paused, and was about to say something, when Xiao Q said, "You don't need to say anything, just drink."

After that, Xiao Q took another big sip, "Don't say anything if you're in a bad mood, anyway, we'll have a rest tomorrow, and we won't go home until we're drunk."

Li Jiu was very moved, and his mood was relaxed because of Xiao Q's understanding and not asking questions. After that, the two sat on the side of the road and drank cans one by one. The 4 cans of beer soon disappeared, and Xiao Q went to Bought 6 cans back.

Xie Jiao had a lot of regrets in her last life, one of which was that she never watched a midnight movie.There were many reasons. Later Wang Mu said that he would go with her to see it, but it was always a last-minute event, and in the end it was not considered as it was. It was too late and Xie Jiao didn't dare to go by herself.

It's all right now, anyway, in an illusory world, it's definitely not dangerous to get out, it's even better if it's out, maybe it's a blessing in disguise for her to open her eyes and go back.

At 1:52, the midnight movie ended and the lights of the movie theater came on. Xie Jiao hugged the half bucket of popcorn and looked at the people who left after the movie.There were not many people, about a dozen people, but except for her, they all came in pairs.

At this moment, she suddenly felt a little desolate.

But forget it, who made her just a passer-by in this world, as long as she finished solving Wu Nuan's matter, she could leave here.

She ate another popcorn, then got up and left the table, but after walking a few steps, she inadvertently looked back at the back row, and at the moment she turned her head, she saw the same person in the back row Zeng Li.

At this moment, he was smiling at her.

Obviously, he saw her first.

Xie Jiao also laughed, and immediately walked up a few steps with the popcorn in her arms, "Why are you here too? You came here by yourself?"

Zeng Li didn't answer, but still sat there leisurely, looking at her with his hands on his side and smiling.

Xie Jiao asked again, "What are you laughing at?"

"It's okay." This time, Zeng Li finally got up, and then reached out to approach her side face, "You ate your face."

The movie theater was already dimly lit, and Zeng Li was particularly good-looking. Seeing Zeng Li approaching, Xie Jiao's heartbeat accelerated unconsciously. She silently lowered her head, not daring to look into Zeng Li's eyes.

But Zeng Li's hand didn't come down for a long time. Later, she saw Zeng Li handing over a tissue, "Wipe it off."

Xie Jiao accepted the tissue in embarrassment. It turned out that he didn't want to help her wipe it just now, but just wanted to point out the specific location.

Xie Jiao quickly wiped the side of her face with a tissue, and then left the cinema with Zeng Li.

When the two walked to the street, Zeng Li asked her where she would be back.
Xie Jiao hadn't made up her mind yet, the two walked silently all the way.Going back to school now must have closed the bed, and it’s not good to wake up the dormitory auntie, why don’t you find an Internet cafe and rent a room to watch the series?

Just as Xie Jiao was thinking, she happened to see Li Jiu sitting on the side of the road. There was another girl sitting next to Li Jiu. There were seven or eight empty cans in front of them.

At this time, Li Jiu's face was slightly red, obviously he had drunk too much, his head was resting on the girl's shoulder, he was talking about something, he seemed to be crying, the girl obviously drank a lot , but looked quite sober, and was patting Li Jiu's shoulder to comfort him.

Xie Jiao pulled Zeng Li to hide in a dimly lit alley next to him.
