Hearing that Ye Zihao was coming, Xiao Lan walked around the house, feeling a little nervous and expectant.

She and Ye Zihao have not met alone, usually Su Yunqian and them are there, this is the first time she has to face Ye Zihao alone, she has a lot of things to ask, but she is very afraid of answers, the confession has already been said, and Ye Zihao's meaning is also obvious.

The phone rang, Ye Zihao went downstairs, and Xiaolan hurriedly sorted out her clothes and went downstairs.

Xiao Lan saw Ye Zihao under the tree, a ray of sunlight shining on him, he looked up at the trees, as affectionate as he used to play the guitar, that affection was accompanied by sadness, Xiao Lan wanted to go forward and hug him.

Ye Zihao kept thinking about what Su Yunqian said, "I know you can't bear to hurt them, but you don't know that for girls, what they prefer to hear is an answer, whether the answer is good or bad, they want to hear it, rather than spending it in endless anticipation." ”

Ye Zihao thought that it was time for an end. All along, he has been taking care of the mood of everyone in the family, but forgetting his own needs, he thought that this would not hurt them, but in the end they hurt them even more.

"Zihao. ”

Xiao Lan's voice interrupted Ye Zihao's train of thought.

Ye Zihao looked at Xiao Lan, Xiao Lan's eyes were so pure, so pure that he couldn't bear to hurt them.

Ye Zihao pointed ahead, "I just saw a café over there, let's go sit over there." ”

After asking for two cups of Mocha, Ye Zihao thoughtfully added white sugar to Xiao Lan, "You should add sugar." ”

"Well, don't you add it?"

Ye Zihao shook his head, picked up the coffee and took a sip, "I still prefer to drink the original flavor, although it is very bitter, but the aftertaste is endless." ”

Xiao Lan thought, I like such bitter coffee, is there anything more bitter in my heart than coffee?

Xiao Lan sat aside, thinking that she really knew too little about Ye Zihao, just like she never knew that he liked plain coffee, and she didn't know anything else about his life.

"Did Yun Qian tell you? Actually, Ziling and I are not brothers and sisters. ”

Xiao Lan looked stunned, she had never heard of this news, and remembered that Ziling was usually so clingy to Zi Hao, and suddenly felt a bad premonition.

Ye Zihao looked at Xiao Lan's expression and smiled bitterly.

"Also, I just told Yun Qian last night, and she probably hasn't had time to tell you yet. But it's not what you think, although Ziling and I are not brothers and sisters, we are just like ordinary brothers and sisters, but Ziling has been spoiled since she was a child, and she is a little attached to me. ”

At this time, Xiao Lan had mixed feelings in her heart, and she didn't know how to respond, so she could only listen silently.

"When I was very young, I was adopted by the Ye family, they were good friends with my biological parents, my parents had trouble in the business that year, provoked the enemy, and kept running away, so they had to entrust me to the Ye family. But a few months later, I heard that they had a car accident on the road and didn't rescue me, and then I have been living in the Ye family, and they have been helping me adopt as my own son. ”

Xiao Lan didn't know that Ye Zihao had such a tragic life experience, and she finally understood why there was always a faint sadness in his eyes.

"I'm sorry to bring up your sadness. ”

Ye Zihao took a sip of coffee and smiled, "It's okay, it's been a long time." ”

"Your parents will want you to live well, so they will be happy. Xiao Lan comforted, and at this moment she really wanted to hug Ye Zihao and give him all the warmth.

Ye Zihao nodded, he could feel the concern of the girl in front of him.

"One more thing. ”

Ye Zihao's main purpose today is to make this matter clear.

Looking at Ye Zihao's serious expression, Xiao Lan lowered her head, her eyes dodged, thinking if it was her confession, he was finally going to give an answer, for a moment, Xiao Lan hoped that she would never hear the answer, because then she could look forward to it forever, but she still wanted to know, after all, it had been really many years. She couldn't let her heart be so confused forever.

"On the one hand, I went abroad for further study, and on the other hand, my family also arranged a marriage, and I needed to go abroad to get engaged. ”

It was like a bolt from the blue, Xiao Lan didn't know what she heard, and the coffee in her hand slipped and fell onto her skirt, spilling the entire skirt with coffee.

"Are you alright?"

"It's fine. Xiao Lan got up in a panic and wiped the skirt on her body.

"Shall I accompany you home to change your clothes?"

"Good. At that moment, Xiao Lan just wanted to flee the scene, she lowered her head to wipe the stains on the hem of her skirt, trying to hide the tears that were about to fall from her eyes.

Xiao Lan walked in front, Ye Zihao followed behind, Xiao Lan's mind at this time was all the words of engagement that Ye Zihao said just now, and everything else was blank, and she only walked back home by intuition, and she didn't pay attention to let Ye Zihao follow her home.

Seeing that the home was a little messy, Xiaolan was a little embarrassed, and cleaned up the sofa for Ye Zihao to sit.

Xiao Lan changed her clothes in the room and didn't want to go out for a long time, the news Ye Zihao just said made her uncomfortable to death, I thought that her confession was at most what Ye Zihao heard how Ye Zihao rejected her, but in exchange for the news that he was going to get engaged to someone else.

After all, she still has to face reality, Xiao Lan gritted her teeth and wiped away the tears on her face.

She poured Ye Zihao a glass of water, "I'm so sorry to make you laugh." ”

"It's fine. Ye Zihao took the water, knowing how cruel this fact was to others, but he had to say it.

Xiao Lan sat opposite, as if waiting for the death penalty.

"I'm sorry, this marriage is arranged by the family, I can't choose, their family is really good to me. I should repay them, even though it is a business transaction, they have chosen the right daughter, and I should be happy. ”

It turned out that Ye Zihao obeyed the family's arrangement, which made Xiaolan even less worthless, "But this is your life." ”

"My life should have ended a long time ago, and they gave me another life. ”

Ye Zihao leaned on the sofa, and that sentence said his whole life in a trance.

Xiao Lan was sad, "What about us?"

Those eyes stared at Ye Zihao, and tears flowed down their eyes.

At this moment, Ye Zihao felt the feeling of heartache, and wanted to hug the girl in front of him, but he still held back the emotions in his heart as usual, "I'm sorry." ”

Ye Zihao paused and continued, "I'm really sorry about the hot spring last time. ”

Every time Xiao Lan thought of the kiss in the hot spring before, her heart was sweet and full of expectations, but now she thinks of that kiss so sadly.
