When You Jinlan and Yueshu returned to Huaishu Valley, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon. You Jinlan was mentally tired of coping with the various "discussions" of art for a day, so when Yue Shuluo said that she needed to be absent from company, she was so happy that she almost laughed out loud.

When she returned to the guest room, she found that the room had been cleaned up by the servants in good order, and she realized that Gao Jin had not returned.

She walked out of the room and stopped a passing servant, "Is Mr. Gao back?" Seeing that the other party was a yellow race, she guessed that the other party might speak Chinese, but the other party muttered in a language she did not understand. She was so embarrassed that she waved her hand to let the servant leave.

She walked down the stairs and found several servants in the hall as well, but all of them were Caucasians. She looked around, hoping to see K1 or Z2, but she didn't find any familiar faces.

In desperation, she turned back to her room, then took out a mink coat from the closet and draped it over her body.

The courtyard was covered with a thick layer of snow, and there was a clean path in the middle. You Jinlan walked aimlessly along the path for a while, then stood still under a large snow-covered tree, and craned her neck to admire the white and green branches and leaves.

"It's funny, yesterday the tree was green, and today it's full of snowflakes. You Jinlan thought to herself. She couldn't help but gently pat the trunk of the tree curiously, and the snowflakes immediately fluttered down, and she took a step back in embarrassment.

"Tsubasa hasn't seen this much snow before. You Jinlan thought of her son, and her expression softened a little. She took out her mobile phone and recorded a short video, planning to keep it for her mother to show to her son in the future.

Thinking of her mother, You Jinlan's mood became complicated again. She stared blankly at the ground for a moment, then put away her phone and walked to the front of the road.

Wan Guohou's mansion was bigger than she had imagined. In the back half of the courtyard, she saw two makeshift cabins—but she vividly remembers that on the day she arrived, it was still an open lot. And next to one of the wooden houses, there is a tall snowman.

She walked over to the cabin with a snowman next to it and gently pushed the door open.

"Is there anyone?" You Jinlan shouted. Oh, she realized that there could be no one in the cabin, because it was too cold.

You Jinlan walked into the wooden house and stopped at the table in the center of the wooden house. There was a tablet on the table, and a pink note was pressed underneath. You Jinlan hesitated for a moment and pulled out the note. To her surprise, a line of words was printed on the slip of paper, "The password is today's date." ”

She stared at this headless line of words, and several thoughts instantly appeared in her heart, "Is this Wan Guohou's thing?" or was it specially left for me?" In the end, strong curiosity overcame reason, and she pressed the "160214" tremblingly.

The tablet was unlocked, and she was greeted by a row of icons. The weird thing is that all the icons are exactly the same, all of them are cartoon patterns of a small snake, and the names of the icons are all numbers.

You Jinlan felt a sense of excitement to spy on other people's secrets, and she didn't realize that her heart was beating faster. She took off her gloves and clicked on the leftmost icon, which was named "150812".

What stunned You Jinlan was that this was a surveillance video, filming the road at the entrance of Qianfeng Academy. She stared at it in confusion for a few seconds, then sat down on the chair next to the table.

In the video, she, Xie Madxin, K1, and Gao's father and daughter appeared.

Even though the camera was across the street and wasn't very clear, she felt a sense of danger. She glanced at the note on the table, and her fear was so intense that she almost immediately wanted to drop the tablet and run out.

Fortunately, the video ended quickly, and You Jinlan looked at the thin tablet like watching a poisonous snake waking up from hibernation.

The hut was not tightly sealed, and the wind crept through the cracks. You Jinlan was so cold that she couldn't sit still, she rubbed her hands and prepared to put on her gloves.

But the tablet on the table seemed to have magical powers, and it firmly caught her eye.

You Jinlan clicked on the second icon, "150821".

Another video. The woman in the video is wearing a jumpsuit and carrying a small bag, and is getting out of Gao Jin's car. You Jinlan immediately remembered that this was the day Gao Jin invited her to dinner for the first time.

The content of the next few videos is similar, some are the first time Gao Jin went shopping with her, some are the first time she and Gao Xiangqi hold hands to watch a movie, and some are the first time the three of them go to the zoo to see pandas together......

You Jinlan looked at it and only felt creepy. "Who is so boring that they keep peeping on me and spying on me?"

She looked at the last icon, "20160214", and didn't have the courage to click on it. Although there is no picture of her meeting with Dai Tian and Xiaoting in the video, she has a faint feeling that the people who collected these videos have already fully grasped her life dynamics.

You Jinlan trembled and took out her mobile phone, wanting to call Dai Tian, she didn't want gorgeous clothes and designer bags now, she just wanted to escape from this terrifying place as soon as possible. But as soon as she pressed a few numbers, she stopped. She hurriedly stood up and checked around the cabin.

"What if someone has installed surveillance here? What if this person who has installed surveillance is a pervert who collects videos?" You Jinlan groped around, nervous and sweating. The mink coat exudes a foul smell, I don't know if it's because of sweat or because of a weak heart.

But in the end, You Jinlan found nothing, it was a makeshift wooden house with only basic furniture and few daily necessities.

She stumbled into her chair and covered her face with her hands.

After a while, You Jinlan calmed down a little, and she was determined to open the last video, no matter what was in it, she wanted to finish it. The curiosity of the unknown haunts her like a vine, making it impossible for her to turn a blind eye.

"Lan Lan. Gao Jin's voice came out of the video, and You Jinlan was so frightened that she almost screamed. She covered her mouth with her hand so that she didn't make a sound.

"Today is February 14, 2016 and it's 5 p.m. I've known you for 186 days and 1 hour. Do you know what this concept is?" Gao Jin's voice was not good, but because he deliberately slowed down the speed of his speech, he had a sense of ritual.

"You definitely don't understand what it means for me to meet you for the first time at the gate of Qianfeng Academy. When I got home, I forced myself to calm down. I deleted the phone number you gave me and it took 9 seconds, I paced back and forth in the house and decided not to harass you, it took 90 minutes, I was in bed and couldn't sleep, it took 9 hours, I thought about you over and wanted to have your life after that, it took 9 days. Nine days later, I shaved, changed into my favorite shirt, sprayed my favorite perfume and drove to you. The moment I saw you draw, all my struggles became shattered. I like you, I want you, and at that moment, I'm pretty sure. This is not the first time Gao Jin has spoken sweetly, but these words are particularly shocking when they are said at this time. You Jinlan put down the hand covering her mouth, and her eyes were filled with tears.

"4465 hours, this is the time I know you. Every minute and every second in between, I was not the same as before. Once upon a time, I only had a daughter, and my goal in life was to take care of her. But after getting to know you, my purpose in life has so much more – I want to take care of you, take care of your body, take care of your emotions, and those little secrets of yours. When he said this, Gao Jin suddenly blinked his right eye, and the slow half-beat eyeball was like glass, emitting a strange light.

You Jinlan was moved and disgusted, she subconsciously clenched her right hand into a fist and pressed it against her chest, as if she wanted to soothe her chaotic heart.

"I've never been very good at singing, but I secretly learned a song, and I'm just embarrassed to sing it to your face. After Gao Jin finished speaking, he cleared his throat and began to sing loudly.

“When-a-man-loves-a-woman，

Can't-keep-his-mind-on-nothing-else.

He'd-trade-the-world，

For-a-good-thing-he's-found.

If-she-is-bad， he-can't-see-it......”

Gao Jin's English pronunciation is not standard, but his hard-working singing appearance made You Jinlan's heart flood with a few wisps of tenderness. She knew this song, and once she and Gao Jin were on a date at a bar, and the singer on the stage sang this song. Gao Jin told her that the song was called "When a Man Falls in Love with a Woman", and Gao Jin held her hand affectionately and stared at her eyes tightly.

Just when You Jinlan was recalling the sweetness of the past, there was a loud noise. She turned her head in amazement to see that all four walls of the hut had risen upward, revealing the snow and ice outside.

You Jinlan watched in amazement as the wooden house turned into a "pavilion".

Gao Jin's singing continued, and at the same time, the snowman next to the wooden house rolled forward. You Jinlan was so frightened that she grabbed the table, not knowing what to do for a while. Instinct told her she should flee the scene, but she felt like she was pinned to a chair and couldn't move.

When the snowman rolled about two meters away from the wooden house, You Jinlan saw several rows of skateboards at the bottom of it. She was about to guess who was manipulating it when the snowman suddenly split in two, and a bald man came out, making her let out an "ah" in fright.

The person who came out was none other than Gao Jin, who was dressed in a neat and elegant black suit, holding a large handful of snow-white roses and moon-white bellflowers.

"What is the flower language of white roses? I can't remember, but I heard Gao Xiangqi say that it means 'unchanging love'. You Jinlan's mind was a mess, and Gao Jin walked up to her with a smile on his face, then took out a small box from his pocket, opened it and knelt on one knee.

You Jinlan's mind rang, she never dreamed that Gao Jin would come to such a show.

"I've rehearsed this paragraph in my mind before, and today the manager took you out to see the exhibition, and I was busy with this. I think today is our first Valentine's Day together, and it's the best day ever. We are in the house of Hou Ye, and he is our most honored and trusted friend, this is the best place. ”

You Jinlan raised her head, I don't know when, the wooden pavilion was full of people around it, among the people in front were Wan Guohou and Yue Shuluo, there were Nan and his wife, and many foreigners she had never seen before. These people are all dressed up with friendly smiles on their faces.

"At the best time, in the best place, I want to say one word to you, and the most important one. You don't have to answer right away, but I want you to tell me right away, because I care so much about you. When Gao Jin said this, he suddenly raised his voice and shouted, "I'll-spend-all-my-life-to-make-you-feel-happy, my-love." Will-you-marry-me？”

In the crowd, some people whistled quietly, and some people shouted "yes" in a lively manner. You Jinlan looked at the diamond ring embedded in the box, and only felt like someone had beaten her with a stick. She couldn't understand Gao Jin's broken English, but she could guess that Gao Jin was proposing.

She is a married person, of course she does not dare to agree to other people's marriage proposals, but she knows in her heart that if she rejects Gao Jin this time, I am afraid that there will be no way to gain his trust.

You Jinlan thought of Dai Tian. She had never been so eager for Dai Tian to appear, and if Dai Tian came to save her now, she would not hesitate to go with Dai Tian, even if Dai Tian was just driving a small motorcycle. But she immediately thought that she was too naïve, and since Gao Jin dared to propose marriage in public, she was naturally prepared for all kinds of preparations.

"But why today?" You Jinlan pondered. "Is it because Gao Jin went to see Gao Xiangqi in the morning, and it was Gao Xiangqi's idea? So, will Gao Xiangqi say something 'other' by the way?"

You Jinlan shuddered, and then looked at Gao Jin, who was half-kneeling on the ground, and the latter's black and white eyes were flashing with many emotions that she couldn't read.

You Jinlan gritted her teeth and stepped forward to take Gao Jin's flower. Gao Jin twitched the corners of his mouth and put the ring on her finger. “yes。 She didn't understand why Gao Jin proposed in English, but she had to reply awkwardly in English.

The crowd erupted in thunderous applause. You Jinlan held Gao Jin's hand and walked out of the pavilion. Almost at the same time, countless blood-red petals fell from the sky. She narrowed her eyes, and then she saw that there were many people dressed like angels on the trees, throwing rose petals down.

"Do you like it?" Gao Jin whispered in her ear, a hot breath beating against her cheeks. She didn't dare to look directly at Gao Jin, so she had to nod. She casually lifted her left hand and glanced at the diamond ring ring on her ring finger—a snake coiled in a circle with a 5-carat pure diamond on its head. After just one glance, she quickly looked away, as if she had been bitten by a snake.

At this time, Gao Jin put his arm around her shoulders and walked towards Wan Guohou.

You Jinlan walked forward passively, and she vaguely felt that she had accepted the embrace of a poisonous snake.
