Chapter 1136 (1/2)

Hamu never delayed a second when he went to pick up yarn and weave. After talking to Jian Haixi, he turned and left.

Qiaoqiao follows Jian Haixi back to prepare for the evening reception banquet. Although Su ri'an can't see it, she also knows that Jiang ruting may have a long relationship with JOJO. After Jian Haixi left, she went back to her room with Shaoli.

The living room is reserved for Jiang ruting and JOJO.

Jiang ruting looked at the young man in front of him. Just now, his excitement slowly faded. At this time, he opened his mouth several times, but he didn't know what to say.

When all the people in the room were there, she could listen to him and look at him silently, but now only she and JOJO were left, and the atmosphere in the room became a lot awkward.

It turned out that after saying hello, they didn't even have a topic to chat about.

She finally realized again that the gap between them was not just the bridge she had been looking forward to building.

Jiang ruting's eyes darkened a little, bowed his head, twisted his fingers, bit his lips and was silent.

She recalled what she could say, and the only intersection between the two was a long time ago. There was no need to say anything else... Opening up might make the atmosphere more embarrassing.

Among the last two people, JOJO opened the mouth first. He looked at her and asked politely, ”how are you doing recently? Are you still used to living in Xiangcheng?”

Jiang ruting looked up and looked at him for several seconds before nodding and saying, ”I'm fine.”

Probably she also realized that her answer was too simple and perfunctory. She quickly added: ”it's really good. Jane Haixi and the people here are very good to me.”

JOJO nodded: ”just live in the habit.”

When he finished, they were silent again. After a moment, Jiang ruting said, ”thank you for helping me.”

At least JOJO gave her this peaceful and stable day. Because of JOJO, she will be allowed to stay by the people here, more ordinary people than ever before.

JOJO shook her head and looked at her with deep eyes: ”No.”

He put down his tea cup and said, ”I just opened a mouth. The people who really help you are the people here. You have to thank them. You have to say thank you to the people here, not to me.”

Jiang ruting was suddenly stunned. His face turned a little white and tightly closed his reddish lip.

With the people here?

Her eyebrows drooped slightly and she laughed at herself. Did she thank the humanity here? Maybe it's more appropriate to apologize?

What Jane Haixi said last time echoed in her ear again, making her heart more confused.

Although she was holding the tea cup, she never drank, and her fingertips kept rubbing the wall of the cup.

JOJO is also a little absent-minded. He seems to be sitting here, but his eyes are always subconsciously looking at the door.

Jiang ruting looked at him. Even if there was no expression on his face, she just knew that he wanted to find Jian Haixi.

Because only that person can affect his thoughts.

Jiang ruting smiled bitterly. JOJO is the light of life for her. It let her know that a person can grow with light and meet a better world.

But no one said that a beam of light should also respond to a person's expectations.

For JOJO, she is just a colleague. Maybe she is a little closer than her colleagues at most, and she barely gets to the boundary with her friends. However, compared with Jian Haixi, she is actually far away from them. In his heart, she also has his family and his light.

Even if she expects them to be closer and more familiar, it's just her own expectation. She can't ask JOJO to treat her with the same expectation.

She tilted her head and looked out of the window. The setting sun was just right. The branches swayed gently under the wind of the night. The whole air seemed to be inlaid with golden light by the evening light.
