Ten Years Against the Current of Rebirth

Chapter 312 The overlap of past life trajectories

Just when Xu Xing's mind exploded, thinking that Yan Chijiu was going to do something stupid, or simply to avoid him.

The moment he rushed out of the office, he saw Yan Chijuan walking in with two cups of milk tea in his hands, so he braked suddenly and almost fell to the ground.

"What's wrong with you?" Yan Chijuan handed a cup of milk tea to Xu Xing's hand, tilted his head and asked, "It's so urgent, what happened?"

"Uh..." Xu Xing took the milk tea and stared blankly at Yan Chi Jiu in front of him. The feeling of riding a roller coaster made his heart beat violently.

He looked at the milk tea in his hand and the resignation application, and didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Who sent this?" Xu Xing raised his resignation application and asked.

"Me." Yan Chijiu pursed his lips and smiled slightly, as if everything was normal, "I was just going to tell you about this when you come back, but the milk tea takeaway I ordered arrived first, so I went to get it.

one time."

Xu Xing, who had originally breathed a sigh of relief and thought that the resignation application was from another employee, was suddenly worried again: "Why do you suddenly think of resigning?"

Yan Chijiu did not answer, but turned around and looked around, then pointed to the office: "Are you sure you want me to talk here? Go in first."

Just this sentence made Xu Xing subconsciously squeeze the paper tightly and tighten his lips.

But now that the matter was over, he seemed to have no reason to stop her decision.

As if overnight, this girl suddenly underwent a huge change.

In fact, she is the one who has no reason to give in, and the one who should stick to defend her feelings.

Xu Xing thought that his life was already known, but now it seems that he was very wrong.

[But the key to the matter is, Xu Xing, you have accepted Sister Niannian]

"I haven't thought about it yet..." Yan Chijiu pursed his lips, "I don't know what to do."

But if she was facing Sister Niannian, facing the facts that had already happened, she didn't know how to face it head-on.

There wasn't much content in it, but Xu Xing read it very carefully. He spent a full ten minutes reading it back and forth three or four times.

"That's better than being attached to a man." Pei Qinglan snorted, "Women can seek love, but it's best not to pin all their hopes for life on men. When you can truly live in this world independently on your own,

Falling in love with a man is your choice and not the result of having no choice.”

Finally, she made up her mind, immediately let go of her hands, turned around and walked out of the office quickly, not daring to give herself more time to covet the warmth.

[I only know that I can’t stay with you anymore, at least I have to find a place where I can’t see you for the time being so that I can calm down]

"At least men won't be your whole life, right?" Pei Qinglan leaned on the sofa and talked to her in a relaxed and relaxed manner, "There should be many things in life worthy of your pursuit and enjoyment."

"Why are you looking at me?" Yan Chijuan lowered his head and took a sip of milk tea, then blinked and asked, "Let's take a look at the letter in your hand first."

Xu Xing was silent, just like the sadness he felt after telling Xu the truth during the New Year.

"I hope you don't contact me." Yan Chijiu pursed his lips, then picked up the phone and shook it, "Of course, WeChat is fine, isn't it? I'm not childish."

I kept this matter buried in my heart for a whole month.

"Oh?" Pei Qinglan was a little surprised, "Where is Xu Xing?"

[This may sound cruel, but this is a normal thought]

"Then how long do you plan to stay here?" Pei Qinglan stood up again and poured her a glass of water. "It's okay to stay here as long as you want, but if it's just a quarrel, I guess your personality won't let you come out to live like this."

Life is wonderful precisely because of its unknown, and also fragile because of its unknown.

"I have resigned." Yan Chijuan whispered, "I will stay here for a few days, and then I plan to go on a trip to relax and come back to school when school starts."

[If I put myself in someone else’s shoes, I might understand Sister Niannian]

Maybe she will cry a lot, or maybe she will find a place to escape.

"But what about yourself?"

But he never would have imagined that it would be like this.

After saying that, Yan Chijiu stood up, hesitated for a moment, then walked to Xu Xing and hugged him.

[But when it comes to feelings, I am obviously your girlfriend, so why should I feel the same way for other women]

When he couldn't let go of both girls, it was destined that this kind of thing would probably happen.

Although this was not what Xu Xing wanted to see... it was indeed what he had done.

…

[Then what else can I do]

Although there are quite a few differences, there is just a slight similarity in spirit.

After reading it, Xu Xing folded the letter and put it solemnly into his pocket, then picked up the cup of milk tea and took a big sip.

"I don't care much about this." Pei Qinglan shrugged, "As long as he is not affected, and then affects our business."

But now that she had finished speaking her true feelings to Xu Xing, she felt much more comfortable than before.

The taxi drove along and dropped her at the door of Yao Yuanyuan's house.

"Actually... it's not as bad as Aunt Pei said." Yan Chijue even tried to excuse him, "Although he... is still different from other people."

Yan Chijue opened his mouth, not knowing where to start. In the end, he could only nod: "Well, that's about right."

"Then think about it slowly. Life is still a long road, and there will be more and more things like this." Pei Qinglan laughed twice, "It's good to go out and see the world and wander around. Maybe you will see more.

When you look back you will find..."

[At the beginning, I was just aggrieved and angry, feeling the pain of being betrayed, and I was in a daze]

The first sentence at the beginning was unexpected by him, but it was also reasonable.

But after thinking about it for a moment, Xu Xing suddenly realized where his feelings came from.

"What did you find?"

"Just think of it as a breakup." When Yan Chijie said these words, his speech speed increased a bit, and he held his knees tightly with both hands, as if he was afraid that he would regret it, "I am sorry to myself

Responsible for your decisions.”

It's hard to have both in this world, and the result of wanting it all is often getting hurt all at once.

Yan Chijuan rarely sat on the single sofa instead of sitting with Xu Xing.

She smelled Xu Xing's scent and hugged him harder and harder, as if she wanted to cash in all future hugs at once.

He originally thought that his life would go smoothly, but in the end he discovered that things were not always as he wished.

It's just that he had thought about what Jealousy would do after learning the truth.

[So I decided to resign]

Looking at the retrograde street scene and the distant buildings, Yan Chijuan held the sachet that Xu Xing gave her on her birthday in her hand, pursed her lips hard, but still shed tears uncontrollably.

"Then does Aunt Pei have anything to pursue or enjoy?"

"...No need." Yan Chijiu hesitated for a moment, but still shook his head and refused, saying with a slight smile, "I'm afraid that after dinner with you, I won't be willing to leave."

Holding milk tea in both hands and sipping it, her eyes fell on Xu Xing's letter. She said: "Whenever something catches me off guard, I'm not very good at talking, so I wrote everything I wanted to say in it.

Yes, you should take a look first."

Xu Xing closed his eyes and leaned on the sofa, his mind caught off guard by Yan Chijuan's sudden action.

"What's your plan now?"

"It's just written on his face." Pei Qinglan sighed, and then said, "Besides, people like Xu Xing find it difficult to control themselves when they are rich. I have seen many of them, and I appreciate his business talent.

On the one hand, I never have any expectations for him as a man."

[It is impossible for me to share my beloved with others just because of sympathy]

Only by breaking your heart into pieces and then picking it up again, putting it together and reshaping your ideas, can you continue to move forward.

In other words, Yan Chijuan already knew the truth of the matter as early as a month ago.

"Let's go inside first." Pei Qinglan took her in, went to the bathroom to get a basin of hot water, gave her a hot towel and came out, "wipe your face and then talk."

Yan Chijiu felt a little embarrassed when she hit the point, but she really didn't know what to say.

[But then my mood calmed down and I became soft-hearted again]

"……good."

【Are you crying and begging you to drive Sister Niannian away? 】

[I thought about it for a long time and didn’t know what to do]

At this moment, Yao Yuanyuan is still working in the company, and Pei Qinglan is the only one at home.

Only she herself knows the inner suffering and struggle she endured during this period.

But what rights does he have?

[That night, I actually didn’t fall asleep. I heard everything you said]

"Thank you." Yan Chijuan sheepishly took the towel and wiped his face.

[I know you will definitely not do this, and after talking to Sister Niannian last night, I understand that it is difficult for her to really leave your side]

Yan Chijuan at this moment inexplicably made him feel the same as when he met Yan Chijuan in his previous life.

Although Yan Chijiu didn't specifically refer to that night, as long as he wasn't really stupid, he would know what she was referring to.

[I hope you can respect me, just like you did when you rescued me from the Internet cafe]

After being wiped with a warm towel, her spirits improved a lot.

[The person I trust and love the most is like this, I don’t know what else in this world I can trust]

[Perhaps after I calm down and re-examine myself, my relationship with you, and my sister Nian Nian, I will make a more rational decision]

[I have thought a lot this month. At the beginning, my mind was very messed up and I still couldn’t accept that something like this happened to me.]

"Then how do I contact you?"

I had obviously held it back in the office just now... but now I couldn't stop it.

"I discovered that men are just like this, and maybe I can live a good life alone."

"What are your plans after resigning?" Xu Xing asked, "School is on summer vacation. Do you want to stay in school?"

[But it really happened, and I can’t escape or ignore it]

Although it cannot be said that the two are completely similar, they are indeed very similar.

She used to be shy and reserved in front of her, but today she was different.

"Aunt Pei..."

"Then let's do it now..."

Facing Yan Chiju in front of him, Xu Xing felt that she seemed to have "grown up" suddenly.

Pei Qinglan, who knew in advance that she wanted to stay here for the night, opened the door for her. Seeing the tears on her face, she held her hands in a familiar manner and asked with a smile: "Although this is not very polite, it looks like it hurts a lot.

"

Life after rebirth has always been smooth sailing, and I have never encountered any major setbacks.

"I don't know, maybe I'll go out and walk around."

Xu Xing can't tell what it is, maybe it's his temperament, maybe his character, or maybe his acting style.

This time, Xu Xing didn't think about rushing out of the office as before. He just leaned on the sofa weakly and looked up at the ceiling.

Xu Xing took a deep breath and probably realized something in his heart. When he opened the letter in his hand, he was already mentally prepared.

Pei Qinglan, who was rarely free today, looked at her with interest. After she finished wiping her face, she asked: "Yuanyuan didn't tell me, did you have a quarrel with Xu Xing?"

Xu Xing was silent, not knowing what to say, and finally just said: "Let's have dinner together tonight."

"Actually, it's just work..."

The way Yan Chi was jealous in her previous life was probably because her mother made a fuss in the Internet cafe and was finally helped by Yao Yuanyuan and Pei Qinglan, which gradually formed her character.

Yan Chijia: "...Aunt Pei, you, how did you..."

"Really……"

Downstairs in the Ocean International Building, Yan Chijuan got into the back seat of a taxi.

But Pei Qinglan curled her lips without hesitation and asked directly: "Is there someone outside him?"

The intellectual and strong woman from the previous life actually appeared in front of him again through this method.

The two people returned to the office and sat down on the sofa.

"Of course." Pei Qinglan said with a smile, "Investment is one of my hobbies, and because of this hobby, I often need to travel around the world to see the scenery in different places. It is also considered a paid trip."

This is not a show about a domineering president, something that can be conquered by pressing her against the wall and having a rough kiss.

The atmosphere fell into silence again.

In this life, Xu Xing intervened and prevented Yan Chijue from such a personality change, but now, a year later, he has completed a psychological transformation in this way.

If Xu Xing were here, he would probably understand why Yan Chi Jiu in his previous life turned into such a strong woman character.

At this time, although Yan Chijuan was not particularly able to understand and accept Pei Qinglan's point of view, he felt some comfort inexplicably.

"I'm going abroad to discuss a business deal again in two days." Pei Qinglan looked at Yan Chiju and smiled and extended the invitation, "Since you are Mr. Xu's secretary, do you want to come work here? Take a paid trip abroad by the way?"

"Hmm...sounds pretty good."
