To Your Island

Yin Xian never thought that Wang Jiexiang would leave.

She has been by her side all these years, turning around him, sticky like a brown candy.

All the luggage she left for him to handle was put back in place by Yin Xian.

Their work circles did not overlap and they had no mutual friends. Wang Jiexiang moved out of the apartment and stopped calling him and texting. In the huge city, she melted into the crowd, like a drop of water into the ocean, he lost her news.

A month later, Yin Xian passed by the department store where Wang Jiexiang worked. She was not at the cosmetics counter.

She mentioned that she had a close colleague named Qianqian, and Yin Xian found the salesperson based on the badge.

Qianqian said to him: "Jiexiang has resigned for half a month. She applied to the baking school and wants to change another job."

Yin Xian never heard Wang Jiexiang talk about it.

After breaking up with Yin Xian, Wang Jiexiang found a cheap single apartment.

There is no need to wait until midnight, and her sleep quality has not improved significantly. The cause of insomnia is anxiety about the future. Before, she had only Yin Xian in her plan, and she would just be with him in the future, and nothing else was important.

Returning to being single, Wang Jiexiang carefully considered her future: What kind of life does she want to live?

Various fantasies flashed in her mind, eliminating all the vivid imaginations, and her thoughts were finally frozen in a picture.

——The grandmother who taught her to make cakes smiled at her.

Surrounded by the fragrant cake aroma every day, you can make delicious cakes by yourself, eat delicious cakes, and then share this beauty with others.

Wang Jiexiang slapped the bed board and sat up in shock: This is the life she wants!

With this impulse, she quit her job in the department store.

She had the final say, her current savings were sufficient. Although she has no idea where to find her dream job, and although she has no basis in making cakes, Wang Jiexiang inexplicably feels that she can do it.

After enrolling in the baking school, she started two months of learning baking technology.

Two months later, Wang Jiexiang has already made various breads and cakes and has become a baking graduate with a lot of culinary skills.

After getting the certificate from the school, she and other students who graduated together went to the restaurant to celebrate.

At the end of this gathering, a male student who usually has a good relationship asked Wang Jiexiang for her mobile phone number.

The next day, the male classmate asked her for coffee, and Wang Jiexiang agreed.

but……

The location of his appointment was awkward.

The coffee shop opened near Yin Xian's working company. When Wang Jiexiang arrived there, he had an ominous premonition.

After drinking coffee happily with her male classmate, when the two came out together, she saw Yin Xian's car at the door of the coffee shop.

She didn't know if there was anyone in the car, she didn't look carefully, and laughed with her male classmate and walked away.

That night.

Wang Jiexiang received a call from Yin Xian.

"..."

She couldn't figure out how there could be someone like him, calling and not talking.

They broke up anyway, and she didn't have to bear him.

"If you don't speak, I'll hang up."

Yin Xian suddenly said, "Are you looking so fast?"

"What?" Wang Jiexiang didn't understand.

"Why do you have a new boyfriend so soon? Did you cheat before?"

She was so angry that she choked off his phone on the spot.

——This person is really rubbish! They slandered themselves after breaking up!

More to the back.

After the phone call, Yin Xian came to her if there was nothing to do, completely treating her as his family's nanny.

"Where did you put my blue shirt?"

Wang Jiexiang was not angry: "Ask me what I do, and you can find it yourself."

The sound of flipping the clothes rack came from the phone.

"I'm going out in a hurry, where did you put it?"

She sighed: "Dark blue or light blue?"

"shallow."

Wang Jiexiang recalled: "Have you found the shelves for hanging shirts? Then you open the wardrobe on the far left and look for the drawer in the middle. If not, the drawer on the right.

"found it."

As soon as he finished speaking, he hung up neatly without thanking him.

The next day.

When Wang Jiexiang was eating dinner, Yin Xian's call came.

Connect, there is the sound of cooking.

"Hey, Fatty, I'm cooking."

She hated this unpleasant nickname, and Wang Jiexiang's voice suddenly rose.

"You are fat, don't call me if it's okay."

Yin Xian ignored her attitude and continued to say what he wanted to say.

"How do you make your braised pork? Why do I make it different from yours."

"Go to the restaurant and order."

She didn't grind with him, she just pressed the end call button.

After two seconds, the phone rang again.

Wang Jiexiang put down his chopsticks and shouted at him: "I want you to go to the restaurant to order."

Yin Xian was not on the same channel with her, so he asked her calmly.

"How much soy sauce should I put?"

"I don't know!" She said irritably, "How much meat do you have?"

"One catty."

"Then put two tablespoons of soy sauce."

He opened the cabinet to find the kitchenware: "What kind of spoon?"

"Normal spoon."

Hearing nothing happened over there, Wang Jiexiang hung up.

Yin Xian turned off the gas stove.

There is a juicer in the cupboard. He stared at it, unable to recover for a long time.

He remembered that she wasn't accustomed to drinking carrot juice at first, and tried his best to get her to drink it.

Threaten her: You will not take you home today if you don't drink.

Reward her: I will kiss you if you drink it.

When the number of times increased, Wang Jiexiang would bargain with him, asking him to call her "heart and liver baby" all day before she would drink.

On the day she moved away from the village in the city, she held this juicer and refused to let it go.

She said it was the best juicer in the world, and she said she would never lose it.

Yin Xian frowned.

He picked up the phone again and texted Wang Jiexiang.

[You have to take the juicer. 】

She did not reply.

When Yin Xian returned home the next day, the juicer was still on the table in the living room.

He couldn't help but dialed her number.

"Why didn't you come to get the juicer? The key is under the carpet, don't you know?"

"Yin Xian, you don't need to tell me where to put your house keys." Her voice was sensible, and her words were also unsympathetic: "You bought the juicer. It was originally yours."

He didn't lose his momentum, he had his reason.

"You are using the juicer, I don't drink carrot juice."

"I won't drink anymore."

After a pause, Wang Jiexiang said, "My night blindness is much better."

This is the calmest conversation they have had recently. There is no rush to hang up first, no rapid speech, no one is impatient.

After she said that, they all became silent.

The silence lasted for five minutes, or ten minutes.

She said: "I'm hanging up."

The juicer was finally put back into the kitchen cabinet by Yin Xian.

He stopped calling her frequently and returned to his workplace.

One day he drank a little too much, and went home vainly.

His mouth was so dry, he took out the key to open the door, thinking about drinking the honey water at home.

There was no light in the room, and Yin Xian was in a daze.

The light from the street lamp shined through the windowpane into the house, and he stared at the light, remembering that there was no one in the house.

Close the door and walk into the dark room.

Yin Xian walked slowly without turning on the light.

He walked to their room, pushed open the door, and sat on the side of the bed, close to the side where she used to sleep.

Fingers touched the cold deflated bedding, his thin back bends little by little.
