What are you looking at, so focused?"

Li Shengting leaned behind Ai Xin's back and quietly glanced at her mobile phone screen, and before she could see it clearly, Ai Xin quickly locked the mobile phone screen.

"Can you make a sound when you walk?"

Ai Xin frowned and turned his head to look, but because the distance between the two people was too close, he kept a frown and stepped back, looking at Li Shengting with some disgust.

"Hey, don't you have to be so direct!"

Li Shengting pursed his lips and looked at her unhappily.

"I also specially called Frappuccino in, hmph, I knew I wouldn't buy it for you. ”

"If you don't buy it for me, then you drink it? You don't drink it so sweet!"

Ai Xin got up along the sofa, took the paper bag in Li Shengting's hand, took out the plastic cup containing the Frappuccino from the bag, inserted the straw into it, and drank it in a big gulp.

"Drink it slowly, then the ice stuff ......"

Li Shengting wanted to give an instruct, but he couldn't catch up with Ai Xin's coffee speed, so he could only look at her helplessly.

"Okay, no, I've been waiting for so long......"

Ai Xin glanced at his phone, it was almost eleven o'clock, and he arrived at less than nine o'clock in the morning, thinking that he would be the latest, but he didn't expect that it would be two hours before he started.

"It's almost there, they have to do makeup and hair when they arrive at nine o'clock, unlike me, who brought their own makeup. ”

"Makeup?" Ai Xin raised her eyelids and glanced at him, "Didn't you just make a bottom?"

"Ahem...... Born beautiful, I. ”

Li Shengting raised his chin with his hand and put it on the edge of the sofa, looked at Ai Xin innocently, blinking his big shining eyes, trying to win Ai Xin's sympathy.

But unfortunately, this set doesn't seem to work well for Ai Xin.

I said...... You really don't want to punch anything in your face, I'm always worried that your face will collapse before you're thirty. ”

Ai Xin carefully observed Li Shengting's facial features, thought for a few seconds, and couldn't help but open his mouth.

"I can't help it. ”

Li Shengting sighed, put away his long legs and stood up, walked to the edge of the sofa and sat down, looking very helpless.

"At that time, it was a unified movement, and I also moved my chin. Now there are too many photogenics, I'm afraid it won't look good, and I don't have time to rest or anything, so I can't keep up without injections...... Now those little fresh meats are simply ......."

"What do you say...... Aren't you a little fresh meat anymore?"

Every time Li Shengting made such an old-fashioned look, Ai Xin couldn't help laughing.

"It's already the world of the post-00s now, and I'm 23 years old. You said that when you first went to school, you could barely pretend to be tender, but now you really can't help it. Those children debuted at seventeen or eighteen, how can you compare......"

"Okay, okay......"

As soon as he heard Li Shengting start to complain, Ai Xin knew that he couldn't let him continue, and he couldn't get out of this opening for half an hour, and was thinking about what to say to divert the topic, and the door of the room was opened.

"Tingo. ”

It was Wang Hanyu who opened the door, and there was no one else behind him, so it seemed that he should be waiting.

"Okay?"

Li Shengting stood up, immediately put away the relaxed expression he had when chatting with Ai Xin before, and returned to the demeanor of a big brother in front of them, nodding indifferently.

"Let's go. ”

"Hmm. Wang Hanyu nodded, and looked at Ai Xin again, "That...... Sister Ai Xin, are you going?"

"You go first, I'll call and I'll come. ”

Ai Xin raised her phone and shook it, casually making an excuse, she didn't want to be present with the two of them, it would be troublesome to be photographed at this sensitive time.

But...... Although it was said casually, Ai Xin still called Tao Li, but it was still turned off.

She was very worried, because Tao Li hadn't lost contact like this for many years, but she couldn't say that Tao Li's behavior was very capricious, after all, there was a big reason for this. But even so...... She still felt that Tao Li shouldn't have disappeared like this, in addition to herself, there must be many people looking for him.

Just thinking of meow meow, Ai Xin's head hurt.

Still swiping the mobile phone in his hand, he flipped through Tong Yu's Weibo, there were only a few innocuous forwards and Weibo for his TV series list, there was no update of life, and the circle of friends was even more blank.

Ai Xin used to like the "three-day visible" function of WeChat Moments, and always felt that it largely preserved her privacy, but now she is extremely tired of this function, so that she can't even see Tong Yu's past circle of friends.

Look at Tao Li's side again, it is also a horizontal bar with no temperature at all, with a few words written on it: Friends only show the circle of friends in the last three days.

Holding the phone and sighing, Ai Xin still typed a few words on the screen and sent it out.

"I want to eat strawberries so much......"

Although Tong Yu couldn't understand it, Tao Li would forgive himself if he could see it.

With such a fluke thought, Ai Xin stood up and straightened her skirt, pulled her stockings up again, and checked her makeup again in the mirror before putting her phone in her handbag, turning around and opening the door and walking out.

I don't know why, I've attended countless occasions like this, but this time I felt nervous for a long time. Then she remembered that it seemed like she hadn't been alone in a long time...... Or it's a lonely appearance, usually Tao Li is around, and when he encounters someone he doesn't like or an embarrassing topic, there is always Tao Li by his side to skillfully resolve it, but this time, he can only bite the bullet on his own.

It's just a simple catwalk, but it can make him a little stage frightened, Ai Xin couldn't help but bow his head and smile bitterly.

"Miss Ai. ”

The security guard in the background was talking to the talk, and as soon as he saw Ai Xin, he immediately let go of the button and said hello to her.

"Hmm. Ai Xin raised her chin, nodded at him, and pointed in the direction of the stage, "I'm in." ”

"Okay. ”

The security guard immediately opened the heavy door, revealing a gap, Ai Xin entered through it, and after a few steps, his eyes brightened.

On the stage is an idol I don't know at all, Typhoon is good, but he is not too tall, his shoulders are a little narrow, and he wears a suit with a very designed shoulder pad, but it gives birth to a kind of funny.

Ai Xin glanced at the audience below, Li Shengting was sitting in his position with his chest up, and said a few words to the designers around him from time to time. Seeing Ai Xin come in, Li Shengting just glanced at her, and quickly took his eyes back.

Ai Xin was satisfied with his actions, after all, this was a show full of cameras and lenses, and the slightest abnormality was likely to be smelled differently by the media.

She took a few steps forward, glanced at her card, and quickly found her seat.

I have to say that Li Shengting has arranged a very good position for himself, on the right hand side is the editor-in-chief of fashion magazines, and on the left hand side is a very famous gold medal agent, who has brought many big-name artists to popularity. Even though she rarely brings newcomers on her own now, there are still many rumors about her in the entertainment industry.

But today, for the first time, Ai Xin felt very tired and even a little worried about such an arrangement.

Social phobia does not only refer to the simple level of being afraid to talk to people, there are several relatively large types.

The first is that you can't communicate and talk to people normally, and once you make eye contact, you will be nervous and scared, even with close people.

The second is that it is difficult to communicate with strangers and deal with social situations, but it is possible to talk endlessly with friends who know each other.

The third type is that they can deal with all kinds of people and can be like a fish in water in any social situation, but they are unwilling to do so because it takes a lot of energy to do so.

Ai Xin has long progressed from the second type of person to the third type, but the huge fatigue generated by every time she socializes outside will make her feel extremely disappointed in herself when she returns home.

So for many years, if Tao Li can come forward, he will never take the initiative to socialize. There are only people who Tao Li can't take, or they are forced to make a living, or they are the personal debts left everywhere for Tong Yu before......

The current Ai Xin is by no means in a state of being loaded with social energy, and she has a headache when she thinks that she may have to deal with these vain and wrongful occasions for a while, and even needs to take the initiative to talk to these "big guys".

It's a pity, no matter how much headache she has, these are also things she has to do in order to be in the future.

She used to think that she would only do these things once for Tong Yu in her life, but she didn't expect that today, she would be forced to please others again......

The catwalk was almost at the end of the stage, the waiter handed the best champagne to the guests watching the show one by one, and when Ai Xin took it, the mobile phone just vibrated a little, and she took it out with some expectation, but it was Li Shengting's WeChat.

"I'm going on stage. ”

"Well, come on. ”

Ai Xin quickly replied, and really wanted to put away the phone, and there was another message.

"I'm not asking you to cheer me on! I mean if you don't talk to me, you won't have time for a while. ”

"Oh......"

Ai Xin replied with a word, glanced at Li Shengting's direction reluctantly, sighed silently in his heart, put away his mobile phone, and turned his head to look at the agent beside him.

"This champagne is not bad. ”

Ai Xin said something casually, but saw that the editor-in-chief on the right turned around and added it gently.

"Unfortunately, there's no cheese left. ”

"This pair with oysters is better. ”

It seemed to be a topic of interest, and the gold medal agent also came over to pick it up.

"Well, it seems like a good oyster restaurant has opened in Beijing recently. ”

"Well, I know, it's the one that makes oysters all over the world, the one most famous for Canadian oysters, right?"

Fortunately, we are talking about food, even though Ai Xin has not had time to go out to eat recently, but she still knows the latest weather vane of Beijing cuisine.

"Hmm. ”

The editor-in-chief nodded, but did not continue to speak.

"I have the VIP positioning of that house, it's better to ......" Ai Xin was about to say that he would go and taste it together after the end, and felt that people of their status should not like such a anxious acquaintance, so he immediately changed his words, "I still have a bottle of Dom Perignon, Lingxiuxiang is very suitable for oysters, you can try it together next time you have time." ”

After speaking, Ai Xin took out the business card from his handbag and handed it to the two people beside him. The editor-in-chief hesitated for a second or two, but quickly took out his business card and handed it over, but the agent just put it away and did not exchange his business card.

It's not surprising that they don't need business cards anymore to achieve their position, they don't belong to any company, and they already have a large brokerage company under their hands, so they don't need any identity to show themselves.

Furthermore, although Dom Perignon is a good wine, after all, champagne is not as scarce as red wine, and it is normal for it to lack alluring.

"Next Thursday, I can try it in the evening, I haven't eaten it in a long time. ”

The agent finally showed a smile on her face, and in response to Ai Xin's words, she looked at the editor-in-chief on the right again, but she didn't speak, probably because she couldn't remember when she had a schedule for a while.

People who are used to using assistants generally don't personally confirm these time-consuming and laborious little things.

"But, looking at your business card, you're in finance?"

The chief editor turned his face sideways and looked at her curiously.

On occasions like this, the invitees are generally celebrities, fashion people or entertainment circles, and there are also some media, as well as friends of the invitees, and there is a very small probability that some seats will be sold for external sales, but they are not only scarce but also very expensive. If Ai Xin came in at his own expense, it would be very interesting, and the editor-in-chief couldn't think for a while why people engaged in finance would have a demand for connections in the fashion industry.

"It's not a big deal, it's just an investment, I was still mainly doing film and television before. I came over today to have a show with friends. ”

Ai Xin pursed the corners of her mouth, pretending to smile shyly, but sighed helplessly in her heart, she is here to eat people!

"Oh, that's quite unusual, is it Li Shengting?"

Hearing this, the agent turned his eyes to look at Ai Xin, after all, there are only a few of the biggest coffee spots in this game, and the one of the same age should be Li Shengting. But this is not enough to attract her attention, she has seen too many idols like Li Shengting who were born out of thin air and have a wild path, even if they know and make friends after becoming famous, it is not unusual. is not like the artists under her, either they are the mainstay of the mainland film and television industry, or they are the top performers who have been popular for at least three or five years, and they can throw Li Shengting a few streets away.

"Well, sort of......"

Ai Xin replied ambiguously, reluctant to dwell on this topic for too long, and quickly diverted the topic.

"Eh, I just looked at your business card, do you know the editor-in-chief Sha?"

"Yes, but she's in charge of women, beauty and fashion, and I'm in men's clothing. ”

Ai Xin breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that he has succeeded in asking, at least the person in front of him has no discord with the people he knows, but if he is in charge of the men's clothing part, then it is normal to look at this catwalk.

Several people continued to chat, the music on the stage gradually reached a climax, Li Shengting appeared on the stage, wearing a colorful sportswear, obviously a style that Ai Xin couldn't appreciate, but the media in the audience flocked to the stage, and for a while, the shutter sound and flash lights came and went, which was very lively.

Ai Xin looked at Li Shengting who was proud on the stage, but he could only think of Tong Yu. Once upon a time, the person she loved the most used to stand in the most conspicuous place on the stage like this, even if she watched silently from the stage, she felt satisfied.

But now, even such a small wish is difficult to come true......

After waiting in the background for about 40 minutes, Li Shengting pushed open the door and walked in. Ai Xin sat on the sofa with an impatient expression on her face.

"I found out that you have a bad temper now......"

Li Shengting leaned behind Ai Xin, and before she could start to get angry, he opened his mouth first.

"Well, I'll admit that I've not been in a good mood lately. ”

Ai Xin lowered her head, her voice was a little low, but she didn't plan to explain to Li Shengting the reason why she was in a bad mood. After all, Li Shengting is also aware of his emotions.

"It's because ...... Tong Yu?"

Li Shengting tilted his head to look at her for a while, then walked around to the sofa and sat next to Ai Xin.

“......”

Ai Xin was silent, glanced sideways at him, then turned his head and continued to look at the ground, without saying a word.

In Li Shengting's view, this is Ai Xin's acquiescence to his words.

"Wasn't you pretty good before, and besides, I think this guy cares about you. ”

"Look?" Ai Xin turned his head and looked at him with some confusion, "How can you tell?"

"Well...... this"

Li Shengting lifted his right leg and put it on his left leg, looked at Ai Xin calmly, and suddenly showed a confident expression: "Curious? ”

"Exchange for what?"

"How many CEOs and fashionistas have you won today?"

Li Shengting suddenly chatted about another topic, Ai Xin was stunned for a moment, but he reacted quickly, opened the zipper of the handbag, turned it upside down, and the business card inside fell out with a clatter.

"Ho!"

Li Shengting opened his mouth wide, and it took a few seconds for him to recover and cast an admiring look at Ai Xin.

"It's worthy of you, you haven't lost any skill for so many years, it's less than two hours, are there twenty?"

"Of the twenty-two people, two of them have bad intentions with wives, and I didn't answer the business card. ”

Ai Xin leaned back, leaned against the sofa and sighed, even though the empty gloves white wolf had exchanged for so many potential connections, Ai Xin looked extremely tired.

Li Shengting naturally knew Ai Xin's ability to deal with people, and he didn't have any suspicions when he called her this time, but looking at Ai Xin's current expression, he still had a hint of softness in his heart.

"Okay, it's still so principled. ”

Li Shengting nodded, picked up those business cards casually, looked at them, picked a few and put them in the pocket of his coat, looked at Ai Xin and smiled.

"When you were filming before, didn't the two of you still secretly date, just a few days ago...... You suddenly came to the set one day, and then hit a cold nail and went back to the city to find Tao Li, do you remember?"

"I remember. ”

Ai Xin nodded, I wanted to say that I didn't touch the nail that day, but it was true that the company had something to do before I released Tong Yu's pigeons. But after thinking about it, there is no need to explain these things to Li Shengting, just listen quietly to what he can say.

"That night, Tong Yu and I stayed in the room for more than an hour. ”

Li Shengting raised his eyebrows and threw a wink at Ai Xin, who couldn't help but shiver when he saw it.

"What, you mean, Tong Yu broke up with me because he got along with you?"

"I'll ...... You guys broke up?!"

Li Shengting was stunned for a moment, only thinking that the two of them had quarreled, or because Tong Yu was too busy to snub Ai Xin, he didn't expect this to be such a situation at all, and suddenly forgot what he was going to say next, and looked at her blankly, his lips touched up and down and he couldn't say a word.

"You're not so surprised, are you?"

Ai Xin felt funny when he saw his dumbfounded appearance, he didn't have time to vent his emotions when he came back from T City, and he didn't have time to tell Tao Li, the two of them lost contact, and they didn't know if they could talk to him about it, but he didn't expect that the first person to know was Li Shengting.

But thinking about it, I don't have parents, so I leave a friend. Because of Tong Yu's identity, he and many people can't mention this matter, and Su Ya, Pepe, and Li Man are all friends of Tong Yu, so it doesn't make sense to say it yourself, but it seems to be gossiping.

Thinking about it, only Li Shengting is an insider, and he is his friend, plus the two of them have been together, he has some restrictions on Li Shengting, and he will not chew his tongue with others.

"It's not surprise, it's just ...... I just didn't expect it......"

Li Shengting recalled the conversation between the two of them and Tong Yu's performance that day, and he never imagined that the two would break up, and looking at it like this, it was obviously Tong Yu's proposal to break up.

He still has that idea, Ai Xin is not a top perfect object, but with such an appearance and such a net worth, he is only in his early twenties, and anyone who marries him is the icing on the cake. Who wouldn't want to struggle for ten years less than a person like them.

"Why didn't you think of that?"

Looking at Li Shengting's reaction, Ai Xin was sure that the two people he said had communicated privately were definitely not lying to him.

But the relationship between the two has always been bad, Li Shengting embarrassed Tong Yu everywhere, Tong Yu is the type who holds everything in his heart, although he doesn't say it, he definitely doesn't like Li Shengting in his heart.

As soon as she thought of these two people sitting down and talking calmly, Ai Xin felt that the picture must be quite inconsistent. Moreover, the content of the heart-to-heart conversation between these two people also made Ai Xin extremely curious.

"How so...... Anyway, when the two of us were chatting that day, I think he still has a lot of interest in you. This person looks like he can't make a fart with three poles, and he can suffocate people when he speaks, you know. Although I can't figure out how much he likes you and what purpose he has for being with you, he is really nervous about you. ”

Li Shengting thought about it, he still had something he wasn't sure about, so he didn't dare to say it too hard.

"Oh, I know. ”

Ai Xin nodded, obviously losing some patience with Li Shengting's unnutritious words, plus she knew in her heart that Tong Yu was not like this because she no longer liked herself.

"Know?"

Li Shengting looked at her disinterested, and was a little panicked for a while, wanting to arouse her curiosity again, he sat up straight, and his face became serious.

"Then you know, after he knew that the two of us had been together, he knew that you released his pigeon that day just to go back to Tao Li, how jealous he was?"

"Jealous?"

Ai Xin laughed, even if the relationship between the two of them was so bleak now, when she thought of Tong Yu's appearance of wanting to stop talking, frowning but unwilling to speak her heart, she still couldn't help the corners of her mouth rise.

"Well, when I went to look for him, he was sitting alone on the sofa watching TV boredly, and when he ran back to find Tao Li without saying hello, the expression on his face was bleak, as if he was cuckolded by you. ”

Looking at Li Shengting's face without any traces of time, saying such vulgar words so calmly, Ai Xin still felt a little disobedient.

But Li Shengting's inside, she has long known that even so, she will not feel anything in her heart.

"Can you say something decent, the word cuckold is so ugly. ”

"It's not just jealousy, I also know a small part of your family's affairs...... Don't worry, I didn't mention it to him. ”

Probably seeing the change in the expression on Ai Xin's face, Li Shengting hurriedly added a sentence, and looked at her a little nervously.

Ai Xin's family has always been an untouchable scale, and he has tried to understand it in a very tragic way, but the ending must be embarrassing to himself.

Therefore, he didn't want Ai Xin to misunderstand what he had gossiped about Tong Yu in private. If this is the case, I am afraid that I will not even have the qualifications to sit in front of Ai Xin and speak now.

Even now, this slightly awkward relationship that is not a friend at all, Li Shengting feels that it is better than two strangers who have no contact at all.

"Hmm. ”

Ai Xin nodded, in fact, she was not so worried, Li Shengting was not a big-mouthed person, and she had also mentioned to Tong Yu the death of her parents and the cause of her father's death, so she did not hate this topic as Li Shengting imagined.

But she still didn't say that she had already told Tong Yu these things, after all, compared to Tong Yu, Li Shengting's jealousy was much stronger.

In addition, Li Shengting has always had the purest jealousy of Tong Yu for many years, and he has rarely been frustrated since he was a child, because Tong Yu has eaten a lot of Ai Xin's cold nails, so Ai Xin feels that there is no need to deepen Li Shengting's hostility towards Tong Yu.

"I'm just stating how I felt at the time, you know, you could have 10,000 ways to humiliate me and hurt me, but in the end you didn't. On the contrary, later, my villain got the ambition and used the most childish method to take revenge on you. Therefore, this thing has been stuck in my heart for a long time, making me feel that I am very inferior to you, and I am very unhappy when I think of me. ”

As he spoke, Li Shengting sighed deeply, and seemed to be really aggrieved.

"As soon as you say this, I remember. ”

Ai Xin suddenly sat up straight, was silent for a few seconds, stood up, poured a glass of water, and drank two sips before turning around and leaning against the dresser, looking at Li Shengting seriously.

"Over the years...... I owe you an apology. ”

“......”

Probably because these words came too suddenly, and because this may be a sentence that Li Shengting has been waiting for too long in his heart, he couldn't say anything for a while, and looked at Ai Xin silently.

After a while, he felt that his nose was a little sour, Li Shengting sniffed, and there was a little choking in his voice.

"At that time, it was me...... It's because I'm too afraid of being lonely, I shouldn't have provoked you, and I shouldn't have promised you on the spur of the moment. But the last thing that shouldn't be is that I have never loved you since we were together, or even ...... I've been trying to make up for you, because that's your youth too, but maybe I'm not doing it the right way, I know you've always thought I'm ...... in your heart."

"Don't say it. ”

Li Shengting touched his chin, interrupted Ai Xin and didn't let her continue, lowered his head to avoid her gaze, but his voice became more and more hoarse.

"I know everything...... Actually, I know ......"

Li Shengting muttered quietly, the volume was so low that it didn't seem like it was for Ai Xin, but as if he was repeatedly confirming and convincing himself.

Obviously, many years ago, I told myself that I must not be emotionally attached to Ai Xin, as long as the benefits are exchanged.

Obviously, many years ago, she swore that she would show Ai Xin how wrong it was that she didn't choose herself.

Obviously, when she debuted a few years ago, she made up her mind that when she saw Ai Xin again, she must give her a good look, let her uncover the hypocritical mask of the eight-sided exquisiteness, and lose face in front of herself.

Obviously, a year ago, he still had a resentment and revenge mentality towards Ai Xin, and he couldn't tolerate Tong Yu on an equal footing with him everywhere, and the two would embarrass him as soon as they met.

But now, just seeing her tired appearance, Li Shengting couldn't help but feel distressed.

He knew that he shouldn't do this, and he knew that it was pointless, it would only add to his wounds, and in the end, he could only shrink into the corner and lick his wounds.

But helplessly, the emotional matter is really unbearable...... The thing he regrets the most in his life is that when he was innocent and unstained, he met such an emotionless person, but he was gentle with himself.

It's just that at the wrong time, he met the most wrong person, but it became a wound in Li Shengting's heart that he couldn't heal for the rest of his life.

If Ai Xin was ruthless enough at that time and didn't promise himself, how good would it be...... I won't always be tempted with a trace of luck, I won't feel that Ai Xin is special to me, and I won't be unwilling until now.

"I'm sorry. ”

Even with Li Shengting's appearance, Ai Xin only paused slightly, and quickly continued.

"I've thought a lot about it before, and I've thought about apologizing to you, but it's not because of now. I've been going through a lot of things lately, both good and bad, and I've had a different perspective on a lot of things. The reason why I apologize is not because I delayed your youth at that time, nor because I irresponsibly agreed to be with you, but because I have been treating you as a very bad person in my heart for so many years. Now that I think about it, I don't have the right to think like that, because I'm terrible too......"

Ai Xin sighed, raised his head, his gaze scattered into the distance, and he also muttered to himself.

"Maybe you think, at that time...... It was Tao Li who pulled me out of my darkest period step by step, and even I felt the same. It's not just Tao Li, your company also played a role at that time, it's true. But I always thought that it was Tong Yu who accompanied me through those days, and when I couldn't support this life, looking at Tong Yu's appearance on TV, watching him perform, I seemed to be able to last a few more days. ”

"But now I realize that this is not the case at all, you are all just the people who have accompanied me and really helped me get out of that quagmire...... It's me. The really dark days were all myself, counting my fingers on the clock on the wall hour after hour, no one helped me, no one showed up at that time, everything was carried by myself......"

"It turns out that I haven't thanked anyone, I haven't loved anyone at all, and loving Tongyu is just a pretense, what I really love...... It's just me. It's you, it's Tao Li, it's Tong Yu, it makes me really realize how selfish I am, I've always relied on the likes you give me to live, I used a false shell to get your like, use this feeling to maintain myself, what I really care about, love, it turns out that only I am ......"

It's the fourth day, and Ai Xin is huddled on the carpet next to the floor-to-ceiling window, leaning against the glass, quietly looking out the window.

The sky went from pitch black to a glimmer of light, and the sun gradually rose, and it was dawn again.

Ai Xin looked out the window and didn't feel anything.

She used to love the location, it was one of the favorite houses she had ever lived in since she was a child, with huge floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the Yangtze River, and the bridge over the river that was built later made her feel the vibrancy of the city.

Ai Xin picked up the water glass beside him, took a sip, and pursed his lips.

In the past four days, she has not eaten a single bite of food. At first, she still felt hunger, but now she only felt a stomach ache, which made her feel a little less numb.

She now knows that people can last for so many days just by drinking water.

She originally thought that she had not come to clean the house for so many days, and she had not cleaned it up, so there must be some smell, but she did not expect that there was neither the smell of food nor the rancid smell of corpses, only the cold air and faint fragrance of this home as usual, which surprised her.

I didn't expect it to be four days so soon, she looked at the wall clock on the wall, and counted the numbers from 1 to 12 in her mouth, and calculated, Ai Jinling had been dead for 80 hours.

To her, these four days seemed like a blink of an eye, but these four days were as long as forty years.

She hardly slept, and when she was really sleepy, she would close her eyes for a while, but every time she slept for less than an hour, she would wake up from her dreams, and then continue to look out the window like this, waiting for the dawn to come.

The night was too long for her now.

Before, she had rarely been like this, gazing at the night alone. She used to think that the night was a quick thing, not long at all, and that as soon as the two eyes were closed at night, the sky would be bright as soon as they were opened.

Sleep used to be the most beautiful thing in the world, but now she couldn't sleep at all.

As soon as she closed her eyes, everything popped up in her brain, one image after another kept repeating and lingering, and she could even feel a voice whispering in her ear.

"Wake up, don't sleep, why do you sleep? Now you are the only one alive, why are you alive, you should also die with them. ”

Sometimes, when Ai Xin is awake, she thinks that the sound is an auditory hallucination, an illusion given by her brain.

Sometimes, she felt that the voice was real, that voice sometimes became Ai Jinling's voice, sharp and magnetic, a woman's unique voice, and sometimes, the voice would become Fang Jun's voice, thick and gentle, just like himself, as if everything in the world could be forgiven.

But more often than not, the voice was low and hoarse, like the roar of a beast turning into a human voice, like the whisper of a demon, lingering in her ears like that, repeating and repeating, trying to pull her down from this bottomless hell.

When she is really bored from sitting, she will also turn on the TV and listen to some sound.

What is constantly repeated on TV is the TV series starring Tong Yu. In fact, she had watched those dramas many times, but at this time she didn't have the heart to watch anything else.

Only by looking at Tong Yu's condescending face on the screen could she feel a little calmer in her heart. The corners of Tong Yu's stubborn and cold mouth were always tightly pursed, and even so, she felt that she could touch the soul deep through her skin.

The phone rang, Ai Xin didn't pick it up at all, but leaned back, leaned on the footrest of the leather sofa, and continued to watch TV.

Although the decoration of this house is luxurious, it is also deserted, and all the designs are implemented according to Ai Jinling's ideas, which is very similar to her style.

Ai Xin touched the leather black sofa, and there was no trace of warmth, just like Ai Jinling's attitude.

She closed her eyes, trying to get the images out of her head, only to recall them again and again.

Three years ago, she got off the plane and set foot on a land she had never been to, Shenzhen.

The reason why I came is because tomorrow is the signing of Tong Yu's first album, which is of extraordinary significance, not only for Tong Yu, but also for her.

The reason why she came alone was also because Ai Jinling refused her plea in anger and absolutely forbade her to go to Shenzhen to participate in these "messy" things.

She still remembered that the night before, Ai Jinling's smashed full-length mirror, intricately inlaid with golden lace, was one of Ai Jinling's favorite pieces of furniture, but it was pushed to the ground by her own hands.

She knew that this time, she had indeed angered Ai Jinling, and although she didn't know what was wrong with this request, she still understood...... The mother's anger is not because of herself or because of her father. Since my father didn't do anything wrong this time, it must be because of himself.

Even so, she still couldn't give up her obsession with coming to the signing party, secretly booked a ticket at night, and ran out directly during the day while her family was not paying attention.

To Ai Xin's surprise, her mother at home didn't notice her at all, and she didn't know if it was because she was absent-minded, or because she didn't know that she was at home at all.

Because he was in a hurry to come out, and he was afraid that too much luggage would attract attention, Ai Xin ran out with only a set of change of clothes and a wallet, but without the fetters of luggage, he quickly walked out of the airport.

At that time, Xiao Ai Xin was not a non-first-class non-sitting, even if it was an ordinary life, she felt very happy, and she spent all her parents' money, she felt that luxury was not a thing to be proud of.

After a night's rest in the hotel, she woke up early the next day with a lot of energy. In order not to waste the money she had "spent a lot of" on airfare and accommodation, she decided to go out and walk around during the day. Even if they run away, if they can bring some souvenirs and souvenirs to their parents when they go back, they will probably be more likely to lose their anger.

The temperature in Shenzhen is about the same as at home, Ai Xin wore a cotton short-sleeved hoodie and jeans, combed her long silky hair, carefully observed her immature face in the mirror, and took out the only cosmetics from her bag - a lipstick, put it on her mouth, pursed her lips like the heroine in the TV series, and went out confidently.

Although Ai Xin is not very beautiful and has some baby fat, she is still quite popular because she usually spends generously among her classmates. As a teenager, they already know how to distinguish between rich and poor, and family has become one of the criteria for many children to make friends.

Therefore, even if she doesn't have a mature and charming face, and she doesn't know how to make up and dress up, Ai Xin still has enough confidence to believe that she is the best.

But this self-confidence was quickly shattered after she arrived at the book signing, and there was not even a bit of scum left.

Those young and gorgeous girls are wearing the most fashionable clothes, hot shorts, mature and delicate makeup, and they are dazzled by their small waists and long legs.

Ai Xin originally thought that Tong Yu might be the kind of person who looks inside, and will pay special attention to his youth and youthfulness, and will not be attracted by these vulgar fans. But soon, it was her turn to sign the autograph, and Tong Yu still looked lukewarm, raising his head to look at her.

"What's your name?"

"Ai Xin. ”

She answered, and quickly added.

"Can you sign for me and wish me success in my studies?"

"Academic success?" Tong Yu seemed to be slightly stunned, and soon showed a gentle smile, "Yes." ”

After speaking, Tong Yu signed Ai Xin and his name on the album cover, and wrote a few words in the middle of the album, and handed the album back to Ai Xin.

Before Ai Xin could say another word, the assistant behind Tong Yu shouted: "Next." ”

The girl in the back began to urge, hugged the album to her chest and glared at Ai Xin, so frightened that Ai Xin hurriedly took the album and stood aside.

Now that I think about it, if Ai Xin knew that Tong Yu's signature could be so effective, I am afraid that he would have signed the words "family peace".

The signing session was only more than an hour, and Ai Xin was not lucky enough to be selected to take a photo with Tong Yu or shake hands or anything, and after the end, he could only leave the venue with endless aftertaste like many fans.

Even after seeing Tong Yu with his own eyes, Ai Xin thought that he would be so excited that he fainted on the spot, but he found that he did not have such a big wave in his heart, and even a trace of disappointment.

Yes, it must be that he is not good enough, so Tong Yu didn't notice himself at all......

With this in mind, Ai Xin wandered the streets until the evening, before returning to the hotel, ready to call the front desk to deliver food.

It's just that as soon as she picked up the phone, Ai Xin heard the phone ringing.

Strange, how can the phone still ring when I am holding it? Ai Xin was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that it was his mobile phone. But if you call yourself at this time......

Ai Xin took out his mobile phone and took a look, sure enough, it was Ai Jinling.

She could imagine how angry Ai Jinling over there would be when she found out that she had sneaked away, and she was very reluctant to pick up the call, but she didn't dare to ...... Even if she knew the consequences, she could only pick up the call head-on.

"Hey. ”

Ai Xin lowered her voice, answered it very carefully, and answered, but there was no sound on the other end of the phone.

"Mom?"

Ai Xin shouted again, and only then did a subtle response sound come from the other end of the phone.

"Where are you?"

Ai Jinling's voice unexpectedly didn't sound angry, as if she was trying to suppress her anger, with a slight trembling.

This scared Ai Xin even more, the calm before the storm was always more terrifying than the storm. This invisible oppression makes it impossible for her to lie, but to spit out the truth.

"I'm ...... Shenzhen. ”

"Oh. Ai Jinling responded lightly, was silent for a few seconds, and then spoke again, "Then you can come back now." ”

"Present...... Okay, I'll be back. ”

Ai Xin knew that Ai Jinling's words would never be questioned, so she only hesitated for a moment, and then immediately agreed.

"Probably, how many hours?"

Ai Xin thought that Ai Jinling was about to hang up the phone, but she didn't expect her to suddenly ask such a sentence, Ai Xin was stunned for a moment, and immediately glanced at the recent air ticket.

"I'll pack up and go to the airport now, and I should be back in six hours. ”

"Oh, good. I'll send you an address, and you get off the plane and come straight over, so you don't have to go home. ”

"Good. ”

Ai Xin held the phone and nodded, although he didn't know what he was going to do, but he knew that what Ai Jinling said must be a very important party or something, so he immediately responded.

"You...... Did you go out with black clothes?"

"Black?"

Ai Xin was stunned for a moment, and recalled that he did not bring black clothes in his backpack.

"No ......"

Even if he didn't know the reason, but he didn't bring it, Ai Xin felt as if he had done something wrong, and his tone was a little empty.

"Oh, then you get off the plane and go home first, change into all black clothes and come back. ”

"Okay, got it. ”

Ai Xin quickly counted the circle of friends of Ai Jinling and Fang Jun in his heart, there were no people who were old enough to have passed away recently, and it seemed that there were friends who died due to illness or accidents.

Hanging up the phone, Ai Xin packed her luggage without delaying for a minute, got into a taxi after leaving the room, bought a plane ticket in the car, and began to recall the black clothes in her closet.

It's been a strange day.

I was so frightened by Ai Jinling's anger that I didn't sleep all night, and secretly came to Shenzhen without telling them, but I didn't expect it to be such a rebellious trip.

And he thought he was going to welcome a violent storm from Ai Jinling, but he didn't come either, but instead gave a gentle advice like spring breeze and rain.

No matter how she thought about it, Ai Xin felt that this day was too boring and boring, and it was really disappointing that her peaceful life couldn't make any waves.

After sitting at the airport for a long time, there was no news of flight delays on the radio, which made Ai Xin feel a little relieved. He boasted that he would arrive in Haikou within six hours, and if he was late for the funeral, Ai Jinling would inevitably complain again.

Waiting a little thirsty, Ai Xin didn't want to eat the fast food in the airport, stood up and fiddled in front of the vending machine for a while, took out a can of Coke from the pick-up mouth, and sat down again.

Waiting for the plane always made her feel very long, but fortunately, after she brought a mobile power bank and charged her mobile phone, Ai Xin began to watch the news boringly.

It's probably some boring entertainment news, and there are some topics that I'm not interested in, QQ space also swiped it, and Ai Xin clicked on the local news.

She used to occasionally watch the news and pay attention to local current affairs, after all, as the child of Fang Jun and Ai Jinling, it is impossible to be an ordinary white-collar worker in the future, and it is always good to pay attention to current affairs and the economy as soon as possible.

Where new restaurants are opened, where they are going to be demolished, where they are preparing to build light rails, and where there are shady real estate scenes......

Ai Xin brushed one by one, and when she was bored, a pleasant female voice came from the radio, and the flight she was going to take could start boarding.

Ai Xin bought an ordinary cabin, she couldn't get on the plane first, and thinking of waiting in a long line, she would rather swipe her mobile phone on the seat for five more minutes.

"Bang-"

Ai Xin's phone slammed to the ground with a crisp sound.

After another ten minutes, Ai Xin still maintained the posture just now, still motionless despite his name being shouted on the airport radio.

The mobile phone on the ground emitted a dazzling light, as if it was showing off its might to Ai Xin.

On the screen of the mobile phone, in the headline of the news, Fang Jun's name was prominently displayed.
