Long Time Loved Friend

The crying on the phone completely pulled Yun Zhi back from her thoughts, she frowned and asked worriedly, "An'an, what's wrong with you?"

"I...wuwuzhizhi..." Jiang Yuan'an just kept crying, choked up and unable to speak clearly.

Hearing her like this, Yun Zhi became more and more anxious, and asked: "Where are you? I'll come to you."

Yu Mingxia heard such a sentence when she came out of the coffee shop. She looked at Yun Zhi, who was full of anxiety.

She lowered her eyes in silence.

Under Yunzhi's repeated questioning, Jiang Yuan'an finally told her the location with sobs.

After hearing that she was in the hospital now, Yunzhi became even more anxious, and waved for a car before she hung up on the phone.

Jiang Yuan'an on the other end of the phone was still telling her not to tell Zhu Qingmeng.

Yun Zhi guessed that the two must be having conflicts again. Seeing that Jiang Yuan'an's condition was not good, he leaned on her and gently comforted her: "Okay, okay, I understand, I'll come right away."

When he hung up the phone, the taxi stopped right in front of Yunzhi. When he opened the car door, Yun Zhi realized that he hadn't explained to Yu Mingxia yet.

Turning around and seeing her lowered eyes, staring at the ground, Yun Zhi called her.

Yu Mingxia raised his eyes: "Huh?"

If Yun Zhi read it right, she seemed to see a look of surprise in Yu Mingxia's eyes, as if... she didn't expect her to call her suddenly.

"I have something to go to my friend now, so I won't go to the company for now." Yun Zhi told her.

Knowing that he was not qualified to ask, Yu Mingxia just nodded: "Be careful on the road."

They are just a cooperative relationship, Yunzhi's time is free and not bound by l&y, and the reason why she stays in l&y is based on a serious and responsible attitude.

Yu Mingxia didn't leave until long after the taxi left.

The office suddenly became quiet, and Yu Mingxia was not used to it. In three days, she had gotten used to Yun Zhi's existence.

Yun Zhi is serious about her work, as long as it is about the company, no matter how big or small, she will ask her once, and the two will communicate.

Sometimes even if the two of them don't talk, Yu Mingxia can see Yunzhi just by looking up. Her quiet side face when she is seriously working, and the subtle voice when she flips through the papers are enough to make her fascinated.

Maybe... crazy.

After leaving for such a short time, she has already started to miss him.

Yu Mingxia raised his eyes to see where Yun Zhi was sitting before, and twitched the corners of his mouth.

Suddenly, she remembered something, the corners of her mouth froze, and she slowly lowered her eyes.

She didn't hear the whole content of Yun Zhi's call, but only heard her patient and gentle words of comfort.

There are only a few people who can make her so nervous and gentle.

Yu Mingxia pursed her lips, raised her eyes and looked out the window where the sky was getting dark.

It's almost evening, and I probably won't be coming back.

When Yu Mingxia walked out of the company, he received a dinner invitation from Yu Chuxue. At that time, she had already reached the intersection outside the company building.

"I've made a reservation for the restaurant, you go first and I'll be there right away." Yu Chuxue's voice continued through the receiver.

Hearing this, Yu Mingxia raised his head and casually glanced at the signal light on the opposite side, and when he was about to say yes, he saw a familiar figure.

In high school, Yu Mingxia didn't have many close friends. Apart from Yu Chuxue, the only one who can barely be considered as a heart-to-heart is Zhu Qingmeng who once had a fate at the same table for a month.

Zhu Qing dreamed that she saw him, smiled and waved to her.

It looked like he was waiting for her specially.

Yu Mingxia was silent, and finally said to the receiver: "You and Qu Lan go, I have something to do."

After speaking, he ignored Yu Chuxue's persuasion and hung up the phone.

Before Yu Mingxia hung up the phone, the signal light had already turned green. On the zebra crossing, Zhu Qingmeng walked towards her step by step.

Under Yu Mingxia's calm gaze, Zhu Qingmeng walked to her side and said with a smile, "Long time no see."

Although Yu Mingxia didn't understand why she was here, she still replied politely: "Long time no see."

Yu Mingxia doesn't have many memories of Zhu Qingmeng, except that she likes Jiang Yuanan, and Jiang Yuanan is Yunzhi's good friend, and she and Yunzhi are also friends.

and also…

It was the experience in the basketball hall.

"Are you free? Have dinner together?" Zhu Qingmeng invited.

Yu Mingxia pursed her lips, not understanding Zhu Qingmeng's purpose in coming to her.

Although the two had been at the same table before, but after so many years, the friendship at the same table has long since faded.

However, she is Yun Zhi's friend, and she also knows that she likes Yun Zhi's things.

The two went to a nearby restaurant. The decoration was elegant and the environment was quiet. There were no people at this time.

"I happened to pass by here a few days ago and saw you and Yunzhi together." One sentence explained her reason clearly.

Yu Mingxia listened to her quietly, while the waiter poured a cup of tea for the two of them.

"Do you still like her now?" Zhu Qingmeng asked hesitantly. She probably knew Yu Mingxia's identity in the past few days, and the two were probably just a simple cooperative relationship.

Yu Mingxia sipped his tea, but didn't answer her.

But silence is already the best answer.

Just like in high school.

"Then, does she know?" Zhu Qingmeng asked hesitantly.

Just like what Nan Qiao said that day, Yun Zhi would not be ambiguous with someone who likes her, cutting the mess quickly is her way of dealing with other people's confession.

"She doesn't know me."

Yu Mingxia's tone was light and emotionless, he was just stating.

But Zhu Qingmeng felt worried because of her words. The girl she liked for a long time didn't know her, so she guessed and understood how sad she was at that time.

Whether it was Yun Zhi's disgust at the time or his strangeness now, to Yu Mingxia it was a knife that would stab his heart.

Even though her demeanor and tone at the moment were understated, Zhu Qingmeng always remembered that Yu Mingxia who cried the whole evening self-study.

"Then what are you going to do?" Zhu Qingmeng asked after a while.

The current Yu Mingxia is no longer the quiet and introverted girl she was back then. Compared to when she was in high school, now she has more ability and courage to pursue happiness.

Yu Mingxia put down his teacup, didn't answer her question, but asked her: "Is this why you came to me specially today?"

From the beginning of the meeting, Yu Mingxia's attitude towards Zhu Qingmeng was not enthusiastic.

Zhu Qingmeng also understood that perhaps in Yu Mingxia's eyes, her nickname was just "Yunzhi's friend".

Zhu Qingmeng smiled lightly: "Well, I want to see if there is anything you need my help for."

Yu Mingxia brushed lightly over the cup with his fingertips, his expression thoughtful: "Help me? Do you not help others?"

The two of them knew who this other person was.

Zhu Qingmeng nodded.

Yu Mingxia looked at Zhu Qingmeng and smiled suddenly.

"Then I treat you today as a thank you in advance."

Zhu Qingmeng raised her eyebrows, she looked completely different from just now.

The sudden change in attitude must be due to her standing in line just now.

"The original words are still valid now."

Zhu Qingmeng's initiative to help is mixed with the guilt of her youth and the expectation of her friend's happiness.

She can still clearly think of Jiang Yuan'an's nagging voice in her mind now - I hope Yun Zhi can be happy.

Compared with Nan Qiao, Zhu Qingmeng thinks that the person in front of her is more able to make Yunzhi happy.

Yu Mingxia also remembered that in the evening self-study in the third year of high school, Zhu Qingmeng promised her because of guilt that as long as she still wanted to chase Yunzhi, she would definitely help.

But at that time, she just told Zhu Qingmeng not to mention her in front of Yunzhi again.

In fact, they all knew that it was just an accident.

Zhu Qingmeng didn't know that Yunzhi would dislike Yu Mingxia, she just wanted to help Yu Mingxia get closer to Yunzhi, and she didn't know that Yu Mingxia would appear in the basketball court by such a coincidence to hear Yunzhi's words.

Even Yun Zhi, when she said those words and passed by Yu Mingxia, maybe she didn't know that the person she disliked was right in front of her eyes.

That's why Zhu Qingmeng felt strange.

Yun knew why he disliked a stranger for no reason.

"Don't tell her about the past."

Yu Mingxia's words brought back Zhu Qingmeng's thoughts, she was puzzled: "Including the fact that you like her?"

Yu Mingxia hummed: "If she knows, she should draw a clear line immediately."

"According to what I know about her, it is indeed the case," Zhu Qingmeng recalled the scenes she had seen in the past, "She doesn't want to delay others, so everyone who confesses to her will directly refuse."

Yu Mingxia chuckled: "So, how lucky to be liked by her."

Zhu Qingmeng heard the words, thinking of Nan Qiao, she lowered her eyes, opened her lips but didn't say a word, and finally swallowed what she wanted to say.

She didn't want to say anything without basis.

After a while, Zhu Qingmeng responded with a smile: "There will be that day."
