After the divorce, she disappeared overnight

Chapter 188 You used to be a little fat boy.

Under the big tree, two people were squatting, digging with shovels in their hands.

It wasn't long before they dug out an iron box.

Then the two of them came and sat down on the bench next to them.

"Baby, when was this iron box buried?" Shi Lu asked curiously.

“Probably in high school.”

"It's been so long! Why did you suddenly want to dig it out?"

"Because I want you to see what I looked like when I was a kid. Don't you want to? Well, I'll take you upstairs to have a look."

"Of course I do. I really want to know."

"But I have to warn you in advance that you are not allowed to laugh at me after you read this."

"Don't worry, how could that be? I can't even begin to love you enough."

"It better be."

"Let me open it. The lock is all rusty. I guess it can't be opened with the key." After saying that, Shi Lu carefully fiddled with the iron box.

"Go slowly and be careful not to hurt your hands." Jiang Yi reminded with concern.

With a "bang" sound, the iron box was opened successfully.

The things inside are well preserved, except that some of the photos have become a little blurry due to their age.

"Baby, is that you?" the man asked in surprise, looking at the things in the iron box.

"Hmm..." She nodded shyly.

After hearing the affirmative answer, the man looked at the photo in his hand and couldn't help but smile: "You used to be a little fat boy."

His eyes stayed on the chubby girl in the photo, as if he could see through time what she used to look like.

However, Jiang Yi's expression changed slightly. She glared at the man and reminded him, "You forgot what you just promised."

The man realized his mistake and coughed a few times, trying to cover it up: "Ahem, baby, I think it's very cute, chubby."

She didn't appreciate it, snorted and took the photo away: "Humph, you're still laughing, I won't show it to you anymore."

Seeing this, Shi Lu quickly smiled and begged for mercy: "Hey...don't. I want to see it. I promise I won't laugh anymore."

Seeing that Jiang Yi acquiesced, he continued to flip through the photo album. Suddenly, he pointed to a photo and asked, "Baby, was this taken in high school?"

Jiang Yi nodded and replied, "Yeah."

The man's eyes then fell on another person in the photo and he asked curiously, "Who is this?"

She glanced at him, a hint of mixed emotions flashing in her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure: “A very good friend.”

"A very good friend? A man at that! You guys..." The man's tone was tentative and suspicious.

Jiang Yi immediately interrupted him and said with some dissatisfaction: "Stop! Stop those messy thoughts in your mind, our relationship is very pure."

Shi Lu didn't seem to give up asking questions. He continued to ask: "What about him? How is he now?"

Jiang Yi's eyes dimmed a little. She sighed softly and replied, "I don't know. We haven't been in touch since graduation."

He asked in surprise: "No phone or other contact information?"

Jiang Yi shook his head, and recalled the scene of that year, feeling a surge of regret in his heart.

The two had a quarrel due to some misunderstanding, and neither of them was willing to give in.

As graduation approached, they missed each other.

Thinking about it now, I really regret it. If I had been more proactive at that time, maybe the outcome would have been different...

"What are these letters?"

"This contains all my joys, sorrows, anger and happiness!"

"Can I take a look?" Shi Lu asked cautiously.

"Of course you can. Didn't I say I would show you what I looked like when I was a kid? Take your time to look at me. I'll go upstairs first."

After saying that, he turned and walked towards the stairs.

Jiang Yi slowly climbed the stairs and reached the top floor of the third floor.

Although this place is cleaned regularly, it still shows signs of aging.

Once, when she was rebellious and unhappy, she would often escape here, looking up at the sky alone and gazing at the bustling city landscape around her.

There was also a dilapidated swing there, which had aged after being exposed to wind and sun for a long time.

She sat in a chair, lost in thought.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye I have grown up.

At this moment, she deeply realized how happy she was as a child!

At that time, she could express her happiness and troubles without any scruples and share them with others.

But now, she can only bear everything silently.

"Baby~" a doting voice came.

"Have you finished reading it?"

"Well, now you have me. I'll be here no matter what happens." Shi Lu slowly walked to her side and sat down.

"Yeah, I know." Jiang Yi nodded in response.

"Look, there's a shooting star." Shi Lu suddenly pointed to the sky and said.

"Wow! It's really pinching!"

Jiang Yi shouted excitedly, then closed his eyes, clasped his hands together, and began to make a wish.

Looking at her pious look, Shi Lu found it a little funny: "Baby, is this useful?"

"Whether it's useful or not, it's worth it to make a promise, right?" Jiang Yi replied with a smile.

At this time, Shi Lu looked at her seriously and said, "Let's renovate this place."

Jiang Yi shook his head and said, "No, I like it better now. The accumulation of years seems like a dream."

"But we can't live like this." Shi Lu asked doubtfully.

"Do you want to move here?"

"You like it so much." Shi Lu said softly.

Jiang Yi shook his head again: "Really, if you don't like living with your parents, we can buy another house."

"Okay, it's all up to you."

……

The two of them just sat there quietly, chatting happily and easily, as if they had endless topics to talk about.

At this moment, Jiang Yi's phone suddenly rang. She picked up the phone and found that it was a message from Zhou Xinyu: "Xiaoyi, are you coming to the company tomorrow?"

"Who? Brother Xinyu?!"

Seeing this name, the man next to him had a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone, and he deliberately prolonged the tone of the last two words.

Jiang Yi turned to look at him and explained, "I mentioned it to you before. He is the one who helps me manage the company now."

The man snorted and muttered in dissatisfaction: "Really? I forgot."

"I think you did it on purpose." Jiang Yi rolled his eyes at him and continued to reply to Zhou Xinyu's message.

"What does he want from you so late at night?"

"Ask me if I'm going to the company tomorrow."

"Oh, are you going?" the man continued.

"Of course I will go. I will take some time to spend with my uncle and aunt in the afternoon."

As Jiang Yi spoke, he began to think about the next arrangements.
