Chapter 123 Trial Period Expired
Jiang Ming kept sending messages, sharing his study abroad experience, conferences he attended, and interesting people he met. Su Qing felt Jiang Ming's growth, as if time had not distanced them, but brought them closer together.
"What are you doing right now?"
"Come on, Su Qing! I believe you will succeed. If you need any help, just tell me."
“I hope to share my story with you wherever I am.”
……
Jiang Ming wrote to her very frequently, and his concern made Su Qing feel very encouraged.
Both of them felt the concern and support in each other's hearts, as if the passage of time had not changed the deep friendship between them.
A few days later, Su Qing and Lu Xingchen went to an academic lecture together. The speaker was a well-known scholar, and Su Qing was looking forward to the lecture.
After receiving her first salary, Su Qing wanted to treat Lu Xingchen to a meal to celebrate.
"Today, tonight, a newly opened restaurant!" Su Qing mentioned the place she had heard of before, full of anticipation.
At this time, Jiang Ming also wrote another letter, which was noticed by Lu Xingchen. In the letter, Jiang Ming told Su Qing that he was about to return to China and wanted to meet her.
Su Qing's heart was filled with mixed emotions, excited and a little nervous. She was wondering how to face the past feelings after the meeting.
Lu Xingchen saw this and frowned.
A few days later, the day when Jiang Ming returned to China finally arrived. On a sunny afternoon, Su Qing made an appointment with Jiang Ming to meet at the old place on campus. She walked out of the library and saw Jiang Ming standing at the school gate with a familiar smile on his face.
"Long time no see." Su Qing greeted with a smile, but she felt a little nervous.
"Yeah, I really miss everything here." Jiang Ming responded, with a long-lost warmth in his eyes.
They walked together on the campus path, reminiscing about the past. Jiang Ming shared his life and academic experience abroad, while Su Qing talked about her postgraduate entrance examination process and future plans. Both of them silently blessed each other's growth in their hearts.
"I'm very happy to see that you have become more confident and outstanding." Jiang Ming said sincerely.
"Thank you, Jiang Ming. Your achievement also makes me excited." Su Qing smiled slightly and felt the long-lost warmth in her heart.
In the evening, they came to the state-owned restaurant and continued to talk about life and ideals. The setting sun outside the window cast a golden glow, which seemed to add a romantic atmosphere to their reunion.
"What are you going to do next?" Jiang Ming asked curiously.
"I am now assigned to work in a steel mill. I will be promoted to a regular employee after the probation period." Su Qing said with a smile, her heart full of expectations for Jiang Ming's future. "I also hope that you can continue to pursue your dreams abroad."
The reunion of Su Qing and Jiang Ming made both of them feel a tacit understanding and understanding different from the past. Although their life trajectories have changed, the support and encouragement of each other are still the most precious treasure in the depths of their hearts.
During the probation period, Su Qing was full of expectations, thinking that she could finally display her talents in the workplace. At the same time, Lu Shichen rented a small apartment near Su Qing's school, and the two began a sweet and fulfilling life.
After get off work every day, Su Qing would return to the apartment early, prepare some simple dinner, and wait for Lu Shichen to come back from get off work. Lu Shichen would always bring back some fresh fruits or her favorite snacks, and the two of them would enjoy a warm dinner together. This kind of life made Su Qing feel extremely happy, and she felt that every day was full of hope and warmth.
Qu Meijun may have realized that when she was pursuing Jiang Ming, Su Qing did not pose a threat. Here, she took the initiative to chat with Su Qing, share her life, and even invite her to a party. Su Qing was a little hesitant at first, but seeing Qu Meijun's sincerity, she gradually let go of her grudges.
On the weekend, Su Qing and Lu Shichen were invited to a picnic. Su Qing prepared the food for the picnic with great enthusiasm, thinking about enjoying the fun of nature with her classmates.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Ming also participated and took the initiative to undertake the task of transporting materials. During the climb, an accident occurred. When Jiang Ming was climbing, his vision was blocked and he accidentally fell down the hillside, causing leg injuries. Everyone panicked and immediately sent Jiang Ming to the hospital.
After Su Qing heard the news, she rushed to the hospital immediately. Jiang Ming was lying on the bed with a painful look on his face. Seeing them come in, Jiang Ming forced a smile, but the helplessness and fatigue in his eyes could not be concealed. Su Qing felt a pang of pain in her heart. She stepped forward and held Jiang Ming's hand, and said softly: "Jiang Ming, you will definitely get better. We are all here with you."
Lu Shichen stood aside, feeling a little uneasy. He knew that Su Qing still had deep feelings for Jiang Ming. Although their relationship was stable now, he still felt a little nervous in the face of such a situation. Jiang Ming nodded slightly, trying to relax himself, feeling a lot of emotions in his heart.
In the following days, Su Qing would take time out to visit Jiang Ming in the hospital every day, bringing fruits and books, chatting with him to relieve his loneliness. During this time, Jiang Ming gradually adapted to the changes brought about by the injury. He began to reflect on his feelings for Su Qing and realized that no matter how much he liked her, he could not change Su Qing's current life and choices.
As Jiang Ming's injuries gradually improved, his mind became clearer. Once, Su Qing accompanied him in the ward to chat, and Jiang Ming suddenly said seriously: "Su Qing, thank you for your concern all the time. I am very grateful for your support, but I know that the relationship between us has changed." Su Qing was stunned for a moment, and her heart was in turmoil. She knew what Jiang Ming was talking about, but she felt a little reluctant.
"Jiang Ming, you are always so outstanding. I hope you can pursue your dreams." Su Qing whispered.
Jiang Ming sighed, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes, "I also hope that you can live a happy life. Lu Shichen treats you very well, and I am really happy for you. Perhaps, I should let go and let you pursue your own life."
Su Qing felt a sharp pain in her heart. Although she understood Jiang Ming's good intentions, she was still unwilling to let go of this past relationship. She whispered, "Jiang Ming, I know you want me to be happy, but this relationship is very special to me. We have been through so much together, are you really going to let it go completely?"
Jiang Ming smiled slightly, with understanding and relief in his eyes. "Su Qing, our memories are irreplaceable. But I also want to see you move on and live the life you want. You and Lu Shichen are together, and I hope you can cherish this relationship."
Su Qing was silent, with mixed feelings in her heart. She knew that what Jiang Ming said made sense, but she could not deny that her feelings for Jiang Ming were still deep. She gently held Jiang Ming's hand, feeling the warmth and intimacy of the past, but she also knew that such a time was no longer there.
A few days later, Jiang Ming was discharged from the hospital. After a period of recuperation, his legs recovered well. Su Qing and Lu Shichen were very concerned about him. Lu Shichen even took the initiative to invite Jiang Ming to dinner to get closer to each other. Jiang Ming readily agreed. Although he felt a little complicated, he knew that he needed to face reality.
At the dinner, the three of them chatted very happily. Jiang Ming admired Lu Shichen's humor, and Lu Shichen also praised Jiang Ming's talent. Su Qing looked at the two people in front of her and felt relieved. She knew that she was not choosing between the two, but hoped to find a balance in this relationship.
Jiang Ming went abroad for the first time. He made new friends and started a new life. He occasionally kept in touch with Su Qing, but they were no longer dependent on each other. Su Qing was secretly glad that despite the twists and turns, everyone was working hard to move forward.
Soon after, Su Qing's work entered a new stage. She performed well in the company and got the opportunity to become a regular employee. She excitedly told Lu Shichen the news. Seeing how proud he was of her, Su Qing's heart was filled with happiness.
