Chapter 54
When Pei Jingyu staggered away, Tian Xi's heart ached for some reason.

The bottomless wound in my heart has become a scar over the past few years.

However, Pei Jingyu's appearance, and his deliberate reminders of his past actions made the wound open again, causing a dull pain.

She found with some sadness that even now, she could not be completely indifferent to Pei Jingyu.

After all, that was an unforgettable past for her.

Pei Jingyu called again on the fifth night of the first lunar month.

His voice on the phone sounded extremely depressed, with a strong nasal tone, as if he had a serious cold: "Come downstairs."

His tone was tough and she could not refuse: "If you don't come down, I can't guarantee that there will be large advertisements related to you and me on all the media in Jiangcheng these two days."

If it was Pei Jingyu in the past, Tian Xi might have laughed off this sentence, because she firmly believed that Pei Jingyu would never do such a thing.

But now, she was really not sure about Pei Jingyu's behavior.

After much deliberation and hesitation for a long time, she still went downstairs.

Walking to his car, Pei Jingyu signaled her to get in the car: "It's too cold outside, tell me in the car."

When I sat in the back seat, I realized that there was a smell of alcohol in the car.He drank.

"Why are you still driving after drinking?" Tian Xi frowned.

He didn't answer, but turned around and smiled at Tian Xi, "I stayed downstairs at your house overnight on New Year's Eve, and waited for you the next day, and ended up with a fever and a cold. I slept for a few days to get better."

"Since you have caught a cold, you should rest at home." Tian Xi couldn't tell whether he was distressed or angry, "What are you doing out again?"

"But I miss you very much, and I really want to see you." Pei Jingyu looked at her sideways, "And I can't rest well at home. When I close my eyes, my mind is full of what you said to me that day."

Tian Xi turned his head to look out the window, pursed his lips and did not speak.

Pei Jingyu murmured, "Tian Xi, can't you give us another chance to start over?"

At the beginning, he was the one who blamed her wrongly. He shouldn't have preconceived that she still had nostalgia for Shen Chen, let alone let it go easily.

In the past few years, he really didn't know how he got here.

It wasn't until a few days ago that Tian Xi accidentally learned that Tian Xi hadn't been with Shen Chen in the past few years, but had been single all the time. He felt as if he had come back to life. He immediately came to Jiangcheng, but he didn't have time to find him Tian Xi, the two met by chance on the street.

He was ecstatic at first, but he never expected that Tian Xi would have such a decisive attitude...

Tian Xi clenched his lips, "Pei Jingyu, between you and me, do you think we can start over?"

"Why not? Tian Xi, you said you want a life as peaceful and stable as possible, I can give it to you, Tian Xi, I..."

"That's enough, don't say any more." Tian Xi didn't want to hear any more.

Pei Jingyu really stopped talking.He started the car suddenly.

Tian Xi exclaimed: "Where are you going? You can't drive after drinking!"

At the beginning, the fear of Chen Chen being drunk and having a car accident was still in his heart. Seeing that the speed of the car was getting faster and faster, Tian Xi almost screamed:
"Pei Jingyu, are you desperate?"

"Let me get out of the car!"

"Pei Jingyu, are you crazy? Stop now! Stop!"

……

Pei Jingyu's face was as dark as a deep pool of water, he ignored Tian Xi's words and just stared at the front of the car.

The car turned out of the residential area, crossed several streets, and got on the highway leading to the river.The speed of the car was getting faster and faster, and the street lights and houses outside whizzed past Tian Xi's eyes.

At first, Tian Xi tried to dissuade Pei Jingyu from parking, but later she was completely desperate and stopped talking.

At this moment, Pei Jingyu seemed to be a completely different person, unreasonable.

She didn't know what Pei Jingyu wanted to do.

But since she can't control her, let him go and see what kind of nonsense he wants to do.

The car drove quickly along the expressway until it reached the riverside and stopped.

"Walk with me." Pei Jingyu said suddenly.

Tian Xi hesitated for a moment, then got out of the car, and slowly followed him to the guardrail beside the river embankment.

The Jiangshang Bridge in the quiet night is like a dormant dragon, sleeping with its eyes closed.The river was gently surging, beating the river bank gently, rolling up fine waves.

Everything is so quiet, only the flashing neon lights on the other side of the river still show the prosperity of the city.

There is a crescent moon in the sky, and there are a few faint stars.

Tian Xi was in a trance for a while. Once upon a time, she and Pei Jingyu held hands together like this and looked up at the stars.

At that time, her and Pei Jingyu's hearts were filled with happiness and warmth.

But how did they become what they are now?
Pei Jingyu's face in the dark night seemed extremely tired and depressed.

In the end, he didn't say or do anything, but just looked at Tian Xi with an indescribable meaning.

Tian Xi didn't dare to look directly, but his heart felt tight and painful.

She just stayed with him like that, standing silently by the river for a long time.

When sending Tian Xi back to the community, he stared at Tian Xi for a long time before saying in a hoarse voice: "Is there really nothing between us?"

Tian Xi's fingers hidden in the down jacket trembled slightly.

She heard her own voice, softly but resolutely in the silent winter night: "Yes."

It was hard for her to get herself out of that past, and she really didn't want to sink in again.

After hearing Pei Jingyu for a long time, she said in a low voice: "Even if it's not possible, let's at least be friends, don't avoid me, don't be so indifferent to me, is that okay?"

"I don't want to be friends with you." Tian Xi said this sentence with trembling lips slightly, "Since we broke up, it's best not to see each other again."

If she continued to get in touch with Pei Jingyu, she was afraid that she would really lose control of her heart.

But if she sinks again this time, what will be waiting for her?
If there is another breakup, she may never be able to get up again, or from then on, she will really fall into the abyss of eternal doom...

Pei Jingyu seemed extremely sad: "Tian Xi, do you have to be so heartless?"

Tian Xi didn't answer his question. After being silent for a while, he said softly, "I'm leaving. You, too, go home early."

……

After the new year, Tian Xi really never saw Pei Jingyu again.

While my heart was relaxed, it seemed to bring a little bit of loss.

But it is fortunate after all.In the future, there is no need to see him again, and a heart will no longer have to suffer from turmoil and twists and turns like a flat boat in a stormy sea.

However, this kind of mood didn't last long, Tian Xi saw Pei Jingyu again in a bit of shock.

At the company's all-staff meeting held in March, Pei Jingyu unexpectedly appeared as the actual controller of the company.

He actually bought this company, but he still appointed General Manager Liu as the general manager, and all other personnel remained unchanged.

And he could still smile at Tian Xi: "You can't be friends, and you can't be lovers, but you didn't say that you can't be colleagues."

Tian Xi was dumbfounded, but really had nothing to say.

Compared with three years ago, Pei Jingyu has really changed too much.She was almost unrecognizable.

The person in front of him, apart from his face being very similar to that of the former Pei Jingyu, is there anything similar to the former Pei Jingyu in terms of his words, deeds and demeanor?
She couldn't help but said: "Pei Jingyu, don't you have to work, don't you have to go to work? Are you so free?"

I remember Wang Lulu once said that Pei Jingyu went to be the CEO of an Internet media company, and that company seemed to be Pei's company.Tian Xi has also paid attention to the news of this company. Three years ago, it was just beginning to take shape, but today, three years later, this Internet media group has long been in full swing in the country.

Since Pei Jingyu is in charge of such a large group company, why does he have so much free time to stay in Jiangcheng, doing these unthinkable things all day long?

"From the New Year to the present, I have disappeared for more than a month, just to deal with the affairs of the group company."

Pei Jingyu answered calmly, "The group has just set up a branch in Jiangcheng, and the acquisition of your company is the branch's first business. The building where your company is located has also been bought by the branch. I The office is on the sixteenth floor."

He looked at Tian Xi, with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Tian Xi, we will be colleagues again from now on."

"..."

This time, Tian Xi was really speechless at all.

The company where Tian Xi works does not have too many people, only more than 100 people, all working on the sixth floor.

Now it has been included under the name of Pei's enterprise branch company, and it has become a large project department, but it is a separate business, and has no contact with other departments of the branch company, so it can be said to be operated independently.

Tian Xi was fortunate that in this case, he would not have so many opportunities to meet Pei Jingyu, and now that the Pei family has established a branch in Jiangcheng, Pei Jingyu must have a lot of things and be very busy.

But what she didn't expect was that although Pei Jingyu was no longer like before, he would wait for her at the door of Tian Xi's house every morning and at the door of the company, but the number of times he came to see her was not less. more and more.

During the lunch break, he would call Tian Xi and ask her if she wanted to have dinner with him.Tian Xi naturally refused.

But he would come to Tian Xi from time to time, euphemistically saying that he would have the motivation to go to work after seeing Tian Xi.

Every day after get off work, he would come to Tian Xi.

Even Tian Xi's repeated protests were useless.

Almost everyone in the company now knows that Pei Jingyu has a different attitude towards Tian Xi, so that when he comes, the people in the department consciously withdraw three feet away, slipping away faster than rabbits one by one, in order to get enough money. Space and time are left to Pei Jingyu and her.

If Tian Xi ignored him and was only busy with the work at hand, he would just sit aside and watch her with full concentration.
