Chapter 2379: Chapter 2379

Jiaojiao held the phone in one hand and touched her solo photo on Duan Xi’s desk with the other, immediately guessing her thoughts, and laughingly asked, "Did you guys get back together?"

Yang Tao wasn’t shy and answered directly, "Yep, so I’m treating you, the little matchmaker, to something. We’re in the Western District here, want to join?"

Jiaojiao glanced down at her watch and saw it was exactly ten o’clock, she agreed: "Sure, did you drive? Come pick me up, Brother Xi is in a meeting."

"Alright, see you in a bit."

Yang Tao hung up the phone and arrived at the company in twenty minutes. Jiaojiao pulled her to the conference room door, knocked on it, then twisted the knob and peeked inside.

She was the only one outside, so Duan Xi knew it had to be her knocking, he glanced over with gentle eyes.

Jiaojiao pointed to Yang Tao standing next to her, then gestured outwards, Duan Xi frowned but nodded nonetheless, Jiaojiao instantly smiled cheerfully and pulled Yang Tao out of the company.

In the car, Jiaojiao couldn’t resist asking about the two of them, especially when she thought of Yang Tao’s pained expression at their breakup, she couldn’t help but ask, "Xiaotiao, can you accept it now?"

Ruan Lei was bound to walk down this path, perhaps he could choose scripts with less romance for Yang Tao, but in the end, it was unavoidable.

If it can’t be accepted, it’ll ultimately end in a breakup.

"No, I can’t," Yang Tao said candidly.

"Then you..."

"But I found that more than this, I can’t accept having no connection with him," Yang Tao said.

She’s known Ruan Lei for ten years, together for six or seven, though there’s never been any vows of eternal love, these years of breaking up and making up, entangled and intertwined, are hard to separate.

Just like Ruan Lei said, it’s not Yang Tao, nor would it be anyone else.

Even if they torment each other a lifetime, with those endless breakups and makeups, it can only be each other.

Ruan Lei has this realization, and so does Yang Tao, so for the past year, there hasn’t been anyone else for either of them.

"Alright." Jiaojiao actually couldn’t quite understand their relationship, but love comes in thousands of forms, and not every form can be everything you wish for—as long as those involved can accept it.

Beidu’s Western District is a super market, with several streets, bustling and diverse, it has everything.

Jiaojiao actually hadn’t been to such a market. Since coming to Beidu, she usually shopped for clothes directly at malls, this was her first time here, linking arms with Yang Tao, weaving through, watching her haggle for clothes, it felt quite familiar, like returning to those days in Xiahe Village at the markets.

The two of them shopped on one street and started to feel tired, so they went into a spicy hot pot shop at the beginning of the street.

The shop was packed, with all three big stoves inside being occupied, there were only seats available by the two outside stoves, and Yang Tao pulled her to sit down.

Yang Tao took a bowl for her and explained, "You can’t take much spice, so eat this side, these colorless skewers are ten cents a stick, these green ones twenty cents, the red ones are thirty cents." And then she waved her hand magnanimously, "Eat to your heart’s content, sis has loads of cash."

Jiaojiao was amused, "Well, I really have to thank you."

"No need, no need, haha try it, the flavor is really good." Yang Tao bent down to pick two skewers, scraped the items off them, and put them into her bowl.
