Since being threatened by Lin Qingyu that day, Yao Zhixia has been restless, every time she thinks of Xue Rin's kindness to her, her heart is like a knife, people are greedy animals, how can Yao Zhixia, who has never been cared for so much, easily persuade herself to let go?

For several days, she has been secretly paying attention to the progress of Xue Rin's work, and openly and secretly asking him about the recent situation of the development case of Island A.

Fortunately, everything seems to be going well, and at the end of the month, Xue Rin will follow Yue Qun on a business trip to Island A to make a final project report with the local government.

That night, as soon as the two returned home from walking Pengpeng, Yue Qun called and said that he would have an audio conference with the project team from Dahua half an hour later.

Putting down the phone, Xue Rin relaxed and sat on the carpet next to the coffee table, turned on the computer to prepare the documents to be read for a while, but Yao Zhixia, who was reading a book on the other side of the coffee table, couldn't calm down.

"What's wrong with you?"

"Huh?" Yao Zhixia looked up sharply.

"Why don't you hold a pen for a long time without using it?"

Xue Rin picked up the cup and took a sip of honey lemon tea, which Yao Zhixia specially rebrewed for him after all the honey lemons that Qi Hang had prepared for him had drunk.

"Nothing, what can I think of. Yao Zhixia looked at the words on the book with a weak heart, but the letters on the paper were like a mess at this time, which disturbed her heart.

"Miss me, although I'm close at hand, but my Yushu windy aura still makes you can't help but think about it!" Xue Rin didn't continue to ask after speaking, and moved his gaze back to the computer screen.

But Yao Zhixia's heart can't calm down, although the person she loves is close at hand, but she is like a person who leads a kite, when the wind is normal, the kite stays like a gift, when the wind rises, the kite drifts far away is the norm, one day, the moment of breaking the line will eventually come.

The subsequent audio conference lasted nearly an hour, and during the meeting, Yao Zhixia had been busy making supper for Xue Rin in the kitchen at the other end of the living room.

Lin Qingyu's voice suddenly sounded in her voice made Yao Zhixia, who was cutting sausages, tremble, she stopped what she was doing, and listened to Lin Qingyu's words silently with her back to the living room.

is completely different from the domineering attitude that humiliated her that day, Lin Qingyu at this time showed the outstanding business acumen and work ability of the heir of the group, her tone was full of confidence and firmness, and the views she expounded were also convincing.

Yao Zhixia looked down at the sausages on the cutting board, and felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, that kind of control and self-confidence in life was probably beyond her reach in her life.

The subsequent sound of Xue Rin's approval almost drowned out Yao Zhixia, and she quickened the movement of her hands, trying in vain to cover up her inner uneasiness with the noise of cutting.

Putting the hot noodles on the dining table, Yao Zhixia rubbed his earlobes with his hands to relieve the pain of being burned when he took the bowl just now.

She stared at Xue Rin's back for a long time, then looked down at the steaming noodles, and suddenly couldn't smell the aroma of this bowl of noodles.

Silently packing up his books and notes, Yao Zhixia glanced at Xue Rin, who was discussing enthusiastically, and walked towards the door with light steps.

Pengpeng, who had been lying under the floor-to-ceiling window and sleeping soundly, saw that Yao Zhixia was leaving, and immediately got up and shook her hair, and fanned her big tail to see her off.

"Ponpao, thank you for coming to see me off. Yao Zhixia squatted down and touched his head.

Getting up and opening the door, Yao Zhixia reluctantly looked back at the sofa, only to see Xue Rin waving at her and immediately turned her head to continue the discussion with the other participants.

Yao Zhixia smiled bitterly, turned around and closed the door.

The golden leaves in the yard, the plane tree that had flourished all summer were now only a few leaves left, and when the wind blew, it could no longer support the separation of the mother.

Yao Zhixia raised her head and found that the moon was so big and round tonight, it was obviously such a bright moonlight, but she felt extremely cold.

Walking out of the courtyard, the black gate slowly closed behind him, like an impregnable wall separating the two worlds, making Yao Zhixia unable to bear to look back.

When I got home, the house was pitch black, and Liu Piaopiao followed Gong Yan back to her house early this morning to deal with the guarantee, turned on the light, Yao Zhixia saw Liu Piaopiao's computer on the coffee table, and a note was glued to the computer.

"Sister Zhixia, today is the day to check the results on the Internet, I will leave the computer to you, I believe you will be able to! Waiting for your good news! I love you the most!"

Looking at the crooked words on the note, Yao Zhixia smiled movingly, speaking of which, Yao Zhixia felt that she was still lucky, and there was always a little angel sent by God to guard her.

Turning on the computer, entering the URL and password, Yao Zhixia nervously waited for the page to load.

In the next second, her eyes staring at the screen were moist, and she covered her mouth with her hands excitedly, and her years of regret and struggle were all shattered by the achievements on the screen at this moment.

Yao Zhixia curled up on the sofa, her eyes full of tears were reluctant to leave the computer screen, until her vision was blurred, she put aside all scruples and cried loudly, ten years, a whole ten years, the bird that had been imprisoned for ten years finally regained wings today.

I don't know how long she cried, and after exhausting her last bit of strength, Yao Zhixia finally regained her composure, she took out her mobile phone from her bag, and trembled and rummaged through the address book.

Her eyes stayed on the three words "Lin Qingyu", she gritted her teeth and dialed the number.

"Hey. ”

"I'm Yao Zhixia. ”

"Who?"

"The waiter. ”

"Heh, it's you, what's the matter, figured it out?"

"I can promise you to leave him, but I have one condition. ”

"Heh, joke, are you still qualified to negotiate terms with me? Tell me, I'll see if I'm in the mood to say yes to you. ”

"As long as the joint development project between Qianxiang Group and Dahua is successfully signed, I can leave Xue Rin immediately. ”

"Well, if you're smart, that's settled, but I warn you, if you don't keep our agreement then, don't blame me for treating you in other, less gentle ways. After Lin Qingyu finished speaking, she hung up the phone.

Yao Zhixia put down the phone, and a sadness rose in her heart, how Lin Qingyu would treat her, she never cared, and what she hated the most was actually herself, she hated her lingering inferiority, she hated herself for not having an identity that could match Xue Rin, and she hated herself even more for losing Xue Rin's love for her after all.

----

Early on Saturday morning, Yue Qun sweated on the treadmill as usual.

The hour of running has always been a time for him to think about work, but today he can't raise the motivation to work, and his mind has been haunting the promise that was not an agreement last weekend.

The last time he was separated from You Jia in the café, he asked her if she would come to this café to work overtime next weekend, You Jia just nodded at the time, but didn't say anything, Yue Qun hesitated for a long time, and didn't dare to say the sentence "Let's be together next week".

After taking a shower, Yue Qun stood in front of the closet, took out a piece of clothing, thought about it and put it back, hesitated for a long time, then fell on the bed in discouragement, looking at the ceiling and thinking nonsense.

To talk about the first meeting with You Jia, Yue Qun didn't pay attention to this quiet and low-key woman at all, but he just appreciated the other party's work attitude and ability.

But why did he want to see her so much now?

Maybe it was the supermarket encounter, or maybe they had a good conversation in the café, no matter why, whether it was chatting about reading books and movies, or commenting on social news, this school girl he had just known for a long time knew him and understood him like a close friend for many years.

Ask her out! Don't talk about work! Just talk about feelings!

These words suddenly popped up in his mind, startling Yue Qun himself, he turned over and buried his face in the quilt.

"Just make friends, what's there to be afraid of. Yue Qun muttered to himself.

When he opened WeChat, he typed in one go, "Director You, are you free today?" There are a few good movies on the market recently, are you interested in watching them together?"

After typing, Yue Qun hurriedly looked at the booking platform, he didn't know what movie was being released now, he didn't know at all.

But he waited on his phone for a long time, and there was no response on the other end of WeChat.

It seems that people are politely refusing!

Yue Qun smiled bitterly and sighed that he was not too young, how could he still do such a childish thing.

After a long time, Yue Qun, who was drinking tea with a cup, suddenly heard the ringing of his mobile phone, and he hurriedly grabbed his mobile phone to check.

"I'm sorry, senior, I didn't feel comfortable getting up late to see your news. ”

Seeing the message from You Jia, Yue Qun immediately called the phone.

"What's wrong with you? Is it a cold?"

"Maybe, working overtime for several days in a row, my body is a little unbearable. ”

"Have you taken any medicine?"

"No, it's okay, just get some sleep, I'm busy with work like this, I'm used to it. ”

"Where's your home, I'll send you the medicine." ”

After bargaining with You Jia for a long time, Yue Qun finally got her address, hung up the phone, hurriedly put on his shoes, put on a windbreaker with gloves and went out.

In less than half an hour, Yue Qun was already standing at the door of You Jia's house, as soon as You Jia opened the door, Yue Qun found that her face was obviously wrong, and he didn't care about You Jia's hospitality, so Yue Qun drove You Jia to the bedroom.

"Senior, I'm fine, don't worry. ”

You Jia, who was driven to the bed by Yue Qun, obediently got into the quilt while comforting Yue Qun.

Yue Qun carefully folded the edge of the quilt, took out the thermometer he had just bought from the pharmacy from the plastic bag, and was about to lean forward, but he stood up awkwardly and handed the thermometer to You Jia.

"I'll pour you some hot water. ”

Yue Qun finished speaking and walked out of the house, You Jia looked at the thermometer, and couldn't help but feel hot in his heart.

Yue Qun found a kettle on the dining table, and he was about to take a cup to get water, but he was attracted by the toast that was missing a corner of the plate.

"You haven't had breakfast yet, have you?"

Yue Qun brought a cushion from the living room and put it at the head of You Jia's bed, and carefully helped her sit up, and put the water cup to her mouth.

"I—I'll just come by myself. You Jia shyly took the water glass, "I ate some toast just now." ”

Yue Qun picked up the thermometer that You Jia had measured, and when he looked at the temperature on it, he suddenly lost his patience.

"How many degrees are you doing! Hurry up and take this antipyretic!"

Yue Qun immediately took out two antipyretic pills and poured another cup of warm water for You Jia.

After taking the medicine, You Jia said embarrassedly: "Senior, thank you, I want you to take care of me on the weekend." ”

"You're welcome, you used to be my younger sister, and now you can be considered a partner and friend! Yue Qun pinched the sweat in his palms, trying to set his position naturally and without any special emotional color.

You Jia nodded faintly and fell silent.

Yue Qun was a little embarrassed, and immediately spoke: "You sleep well, I'm waiting for you outside, if there is anything to call me." ”

Before You Jia could respond, Yue Qun quickly got up and walked out of the house, closing the bedroom door.

Yue Qun, who had escaped from the bedroom, rubbed his hands and paced back and forth in the living room, he had been restless since the moment he saw You Jia today.

Her eyes, her breath, made him feel nervous for no reason, he couldn't figure out what was wrong with him, even when he pursued his ex-wife many years ago, he had never had this feeling of confusion and confusion, he must be sick, maybe he should take antipyretics!

Only a few minutes passed, but Yue Qun, who was staying in the living room, was living like a year, he got up and walked to the kitchen, planning to make a list of food for You Jia.

The kitchen is not big, but all kinds of small appliances are readily available, and the commonly used kitchen utensils are also neatly placed, Yue Qun walked to the refrigerator, and just about to open the refrigerator door, his eyes were attracted by a postcard pressed under the refrigerator sticker.

"Everything is gone, only you, only you, only the divine light of your eyes, only the soul in the eyes you look up to. ”

Yue Qun stared at the yellowed postcard in shock, the style of the postcard may have lost his impression, but he recognized the somewhat gray pen handwriting, because it was his own handwriting!

Yue Qun looked at the line in disbelief, trying to search for its source in his memory.

It was countless nights in the library, and he couldn't put down every one of Poe's novels and poetry books, and when he had nothing to do, he wrote this favorite poem from "To Helen" on a postcard that served as a bookmark, and when he returned the book, the postcard was also left forever on the library shelf along with the book, and if he hadn't suddenly seen it today, he would have forgotten the postcard long ago.

Waking up from the memory, Yue Qun couldn't help but look at the bedroom door, could it be that she ......
