When Wen Yunting saw Le Yao's appearance clearly, he obviously hadn't seen it, but there was an inexplicable sense of familiarity in his heart, and he looked at her with a cold gaze.

Although her hair is a little messy, she has a pair of elegant apricot eyes and small reddish lips......

Oh my God, what is he looking at?

The corners of Wen Yunting's lips pulled a trace of unnatural jerkiness, unhappy with the distraction he had just had.

Under her eyes, she was embarrassed, and there was an inexplicable sorrow in her reddish eyes, and it was this sorrow that made Wen Yunting suddenly feel her heart tighten slightly.

Time, it seems, stops in embarrassment.

"Clouds. Song Siyu's elegant and gentle voice came from the side of the stairs, "My parents are still waiting for you." ”

Her voice pulled Le Yao out of the boundless pain, and suddenly, her gaze touched Song Siyu's tall figure, although she was just leaning there, but the elegant and charming temperament exuded by her body made Le Yao feel inferior, and Song Siyu's beautiful face and faint smile all revealed her noble temperament.

Wen Yunting turned around, but he didn't look back, at the top of the stairs, Song Siyu naturally took his arm and walked into the café together.

Their figures are a good match. Le Yao's lips were bitter, and her heart hurt inexplicably, but her hands trembled, and tears overflowed from the corners of her eyes and slid down her cheeks.

*

"Le Yao, why did you come back?" Ye Hui looked at her anxiously, and suppressed her voice because she was afraid that it was an office space.

Le Yao reached out and brushed her hair, just now, she retied her hair in the bathroom, at this time, her eyes lowered slightly, not wanting Ye Hui to notice the redness between her eyes, she crossed her and walked to her place: "What's wrong?" She sat lazily in her chair, put the folder on the table, and her mind was in chaos.

"Uncle Loeb is hospitalized. ”

"What?" Le Yao stood up in surprise and looked up at her, her originally black and white apricot eyes, at this time, slightly, red and bloodshot all over: "What's wrong with my dad?"

"You'd better go to the hospital first!" Ye Hui pointed to the mobile phone on Le Yao's desk: "Not long after you went out, the mobile phone rang......"

"Help me ask for leave!" In a hurry, Le Yao didn't care about anything, and ran straight out of the door, just praying for her father's safety......

Times outside Ginza.

The summer heat has not dissipated, but in the bustling traffic, there is not a single empty taxi, Le Yao pursed her lips, she was so anxious that she couldn't do it, and as time went by, the panic in her heart became more and more serious.

In the traffic, Wen Yunting sat in the shiny black car, and the comfortable temperature inside the car was in stark contrast to the summer heat outside. He sat indifferently, looking out the car window with a hint of coldness.

After a five-year absence from the city, he finally came back.

Suddenly, Wen Yunting's eyes were attracted by a black slender figure on the side of the street, wasn't that the woman she had met at the staircase before?

The traffic was too long, and the car slowly drove past her, but Wen Yunting retracted his gaze arrogantly and coldly, yes, no woman can attract his attention......

Of course...... Apart from......

"Uncle Du, go to Peach Blossom Spring. He instructed the driver, and then closed his eyes, his perfect facial features as if they had been sculpted....handsome and indifferent.

*

The room was filled with the bitter smell of Chinese medicine.

"I should have gone to the hospital to get a cast. On Le Yao's forehead, her hair was covered with sweat, but she pointed the fan in the direction of Le Zhengming.

An hour ago, as soon as Le Yao got into a taxi, she received a call from Ming Hao, saying that Le Zhengming was in an orthopedic clinic.

"I just sprained my foot. Le Zhengming's emaciated face had a hint of sickly paleness, in his mouth, it was bitter Chinese medicine, although his left foot was naked, although it hurt, but in order not to worry Le Yao, he didn't snort, but comforted his daughter: "It's okay." ”

"My feet are swollen like this. The tip of Le Yao's nose was sour, and her father just turned fifty years old last year, but his aging face was like that of a sixty-year-old man, and his hair was already mixed with a lot of white silk.

"Silly girl!" Looking at his daughter's sad appearance, Le Zhengming was somewhat sad in his heart, and he deliberately lifted his left foot wrapped in Chinese herbs and twisted, and the severe pain attacked his whole body, but he looked extremely relaxed: "Look, no problem!" As soon as he spoke, he saw his daughter's wet eyes, and he looked behind her: "Don't believe it, you ask Minghao." ”

Ming Hao cut the watermelon and took it out: "The doctor said that Uncle Le's feet, change the medicine four or five times, and it will be fine after half a month's rest." ”

Le Yao looked at them suspiciously, but her eyes were red. Today's encounter...... In the end, it made her heart mess......

The sweetness of the watermelon dispersed the bitter taste of Chinese medicine in the mouth, and when Minghao entered the kitchen, Le Zhengming whispered to his daughter: "Minghao, this young man, is good." I have never seen such a persistent person, for five years, you have not given people a quasi-letter, and people have been revolving around you all day long. Seeing that his daughter was silent, Le Zhengming continued.

Le Yao, who was upset, looked at the watermelon coldly, "There are some things that can't be forced." After saying that, the figure in the corridor came to mind...... Some people, some things, no matter how long it has been, are always ...... Always there.

"Do you also know that there are some things that can't be forced?" Le Zhengming raised his voice unconsciously, Le Yao was so big, he was never willing to scold her, but this time he was annoyed: "Then what are you thinking......?" And in the past few years, Ming Hao knows best about her, he, as a father, knows best.

"I'm not suitable for him...... Le Yao said with difficulty: "Dad, I really don't want to force myself." ”

Looking at his daughter's slightly red and swollen eyes, Dai Datong felt distressed for no reason...... Just a low sigh.

In the kitchen separated by only a wall, Ming Hao pursed his lips, between his lips, there was a touch of bitterness, he looked sideways out of the window, under the blue sky, surrounded by low houses, and his heart, just like the surrounding environment, was extremely bad. Is it time to give up? His five years of persistence... After five years of waiting, she got a sentence of "inappropriate" from her...... Is it worth it?

Times Ginza 13th floor rest room.

"How is your father?" Ye Hui held a cup of coffee, leaned in front of the window, and looked at Le Yao, who was leaning over to receive boiling water.

"Sprained my foot. A stream of warm water slid into Le Yao's throat, and she was annoyed, the document that Zuo Youqing, the administrative director, arranged for her to take and ask Lou Mo to sign yesterday was gone...... She remembered that it had been placed on the table when she left yesterday.

"Seriously?"

"It's fine. Le Yao turned around, but unexpectedly saw Luo Zhen walking into the office area, and in her mind, the scene she saw on the seventeenth floor yesterday came to mind...... Then, her cheeks burned slightly, and she quickly turned around and turned her back to the door of the lounge......

"What kind of wind blew Luo Mi here?" Ye Hui held the coffee cup and joked happily, she, Le Yao, and Luo Zhen were classmates at Z City Normal University.

Luo Zhenting stood at the door of the lounge, although she was in the same black work suit and high heels as them, but, for some reason, she looked like she had a different feeling......

"Give. Luo Zhen handed the blue folder to Le Yao.

The buzz in Le Yao's brain exploded...... Don't...... Could it be yesterday...... The folder fell on the seventeenth floor? Oh my!

"Mr. Lou signed. Luo Zhen's eyebrows raised slightly, and there was a faint and unpredictable smile in her eyes: "Le Yao, what's wrong with you today?"

Le Yao, who is usually not slow to react, was dumbfounded...... Heart, thump... Jump non-stop...... Holding a cup in his hand, but at this time, his throat was uncomfortably thirsty: "Thank you." The blue folder is like a hot potato, and her heart is a little empty.

"I'll go up first, at ten o'clock, I'm going to inspect the store with Mr. Lou," Luo Zhen's eyebrows raised slightly, and in her words, she couldn't hide her sense of superiority, and before leaving, she glanced at Le Yao meaningfully.

"Hey. Ye Hui's coffee gradually cooled, but she said to herself suspiciously: "Luo Zhen, this girl has changed...... she looked at Le Yao, and then looked at herself, "It's also the company's uniform, why is it so eye-catching on Luo Zhen?"

She cut her skirt short. Le Yao leaned over, took another glass of boiling water, and gulped down, the water in her throat temporarily quenched the thirst in her throat. As soon as she spoke, she thought of Luo Zhen's slender and charming legs on the desk....Thinking of this, she felt a astringency in her chest, and a feeling of nausea hit her, she walked quickly to the water chisel and retched.

"Huh?" Ye Hui raised his eyebrows and hurriedly walked out of the lounge, but happened to see Luo Zhen's back leaving...... turned around, but heard Le Yao's retching. "What's wrong with you?"

Le Yao closed her eyes, the bottom of her throat, and the nausea had not completely disappeared...... She didn't spit out anything, just the water she had just drunk. And when retching, a sense of distress and sadness made her heart fall into boundless darkness again.

"Could it be...... There you have it!" Ye Hui kindly handed over the tissue, her eyebrows tightened slightly, she looked at her worriedly, and asked in a low voice: "Le Yao, it's the senior, right......" Her hand stroked Le Yao's back: "You have been together for five years...... It's normal, too......"

Le Yao, who was in a state of confusion, didn't even hear Ye Hui's words clearly, but just wanted to get rid of the nausea.

"Do you have nothing to do?" said Zuo Youqing, the head of administration, in the lounge with a stern voice.

"Director Zuo, Le Yao has a ......" Ye Hui said kindly, but she was so arrogant that she said such a sentence without a brain, and when her eyes looked at Zuo Youqing, she also saw Wen Yunting standing beside Zuo Youqing, who was heroic and majestic.

There was a sneer in Zuo Youqing's eyes...... The chin was slightly raised, with a little contempt, a little sneer.

"Director Zuo, the company's personnel management system needs to be strengthened. Wen Yunting's thin lips said coldly, today, is his first day of official entry into Times Ginza, and his former classmate, the current administrative director Zuo Youqing, took him to familiarize himself, but he didn't expect to meet employees chatting in the lounge.

Wen Yunting's voice hit Le Yao like muffled thunder, her mind cleared up in an instant, her chest was suffocated, and she was miserable, she sorted herself out with a tissue, and then turned around.

When he saw Le Yao clearly, Wen Yunting was slightly shocked, but he hid his emotions very well, in his eyes, he looked at the embarrassed Le Yao with indifference and arrogance, and then, turned around, strode out of the lounge, the figure of Angzang, strong and straight, with indifference, pushed everyone to the cold.

Zuo Youqing pulled her legs and followed, and said in an almost flattering voice: "Go to my office and sit down-"

But inexplicably, Wen Yunting was extremely unhappy, and did not answer Zuo Youqing's words, but strode away.

"Wow!" Ye Hui's gaze did not leave Wen Yunting's back, which was already far away: "You look so handsome!" she shook Le Yao's arm, "Le Yao, this is clearly my dish!"

And in the bottom of Le Yao's heart, she fell into boundless suffering......

Lip...... Bitter....

From then on, Xiao Lang was a passerby.

From now on?

Passerby?

On his lips, a sneer...... In fact, they have always been just passers-by.

Passerby...... It's just that...... Passerby.

"Even if he doesn't laugh, he's extremely handsome. Ye Hui's lips were lightly raised, with a narcissistic expression.

Between her throats, there was thirst and bitterness, and Le Yao rinsed her mouth with white water in a big gulp...... But the face is getting paler and paler, and the heart is as dark as ashes.

"Le Yao, you say...... Will he laugh?" Ye Hui said to himself, thinking about Wen Yunting's handsome appearance like a nymphomaniac in his mind.

*

Le Yao put the blue folder on Zuo Youqing's desk.

Zuo Youqing looked at Le Yao with a critical gaze, she pursed her lips and didn't say a word, making it impossible to guess what she was going to say next.

"Director Zuo, I'll go out first if there's nothing else to do. Le Yao really couldn't stand her critical and shrewd scrutiny.

"Are you pregnant?" raised her eyebrows slightly, and Zuo Youqing asked nondeniably.

Le Yao shook her head, today, there are already more than three people asking her this question, and even, the entire lattice is spreading about her wedding, alas, it is all Ye Hui's quick mouth to provoke.

Zuo Youqing played with the pen in her hand, and her big eyes never left Le Yao's pale face: "If you can't bear it, you can ask for maternity leave in advance...... The company's personnel benefits are quite good. Subconsciously, she wanted to drive Le Yao away.

"Director Zuo, I think everyone misunderstood. Le Yao's slightly thirsty lips pursed lightly: "I just have a bad stomach and am not pregnant." ”

"Oh?" Zuo Youqing's good-looking lips rose slightly, with a hint of inscrutable mockery: "Really?"

"Yes. Le Yao said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"You go out!" Zuo Youqing's tone was cold and disgusted with his usual coldness, and the pen in his hand was also thrown on the desk casually, but unexpectedly, his hand was too hard, and the sleek pen rolled over the desk and fell to Le Yao's feet.

Le Yao leaned over, picked up the pen that still had the strong fragrance of the master, put it in Zuo Youqing's pen holder, turned around, and prepared to leave.

"Do you know why I hate you?" When Zuo Youqing watched her turn around indifferently, with an unfazed look, a thick anger appeared in her heart, and for the first time, she said to Le Yao unabashedly.

Le Yao, who was about to reach out to open the office door, stiffened, stopped for a few seconds, and later, opened the door and left, and the moment she walked out of the door, Zuo Youqing grabbed the pen just now and threw it at her angrily.

In an instant, Le Yao had already walked out, and the poor pen landed on the glass door with a crisp sound, and then, the limbs were scattered on the dark blue carpet.

The door, however, did not shake in the slightest because of the fragmentation of the pen.

"Damn!" Looking at the broken pen, thinking of Le Yao's indifferent gaze and quiet figure, Zuo Youqing was very angry, her beautiful face was a little distorted, and she was angry, she threw her body into the leather chair, and slapped her hand heavily on the armrest, but unexpectedly, there was a pain in the little finger of her left hand.

Her nails, which had been carefully maintained yesterday, were broken, her chest rose and fell slightly, and with a push of her hand, she shattered the crystal picture frame she had bought from France...... The crystal fragment fell to the ground, touching the light, reflecting a coldness, she bit her lower lip and silently ruthlessly: Le Yao, I will kick you out of the Mu clan and let you leave the clouds forever!

When a person is disgusted with herself, how can Le Yao not feel it? However, she doesn't understand why Zuo Youqing hates her? When it comes to work, she has always been serious and careful, and she has hardly made any mistakes...... She really didn't know what had offended her and made her so disgusted with herself.

*

"Senior, your movements are really fast enough!" Ye Hui stood on the edge of the parking lot behind Times Ginza, eating ice cream while looking at Ming Hao with a smile: "If you don't make a sound, let our Le Yaozhu have a secret knot." ”

Taking advantage of the lack of classes in the morning, Minghao quietly came to Ye Hui, wanting to learn from her what Le Yao really thought in her heart, but she didn't expect that she said something that he didn't understand.

"It's really yours!" Ye Hui grinned, like a boy, raised his head slightly, and his fair face had a sunny smile, "Before, Le Yao even hid it from me, if she hadn't kept throwing up today, I wouldn't have known that you would have ...... long ago."

"What do you mean?" Ming Hao didn't understand the more he listened, and he was confused: "What kind of movement is fast?

"Hmph, do you still want to hide it from me?" Ye Hui raised his eyebrows disdainfully, looking like he knew everything: "Senior, you can't deny it, saying that the child in Le Yao's belly is not yours." ”

Ming Hao was stunned, but he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

"Hmph!" Ye Hui snorted puzzledly: "If you dare to be sorry for Le Yao...... I'm the first to be anxious with you!" He added: "It's been five years, and Le Yao has never had any boyfriend except for you?"

Ming Hao was extremely embarrassed, boyfriend, he had never been Le Yao's admitted boyfriend, but he was just Le Yao's suitor and admirer. And now, Ye Hui's words made his heart fall into boundless jealousy.

And beside them, a black and shiny car drove quietly by, Wen Yunting, who was sitting in the car, was inexplicable, sullen, very irritable, and his face was terrifyingly cold, his gaze, through the car window, fell on Ming Hao's face, but in his mind, Le Yao retched non-stop, his face was pale and emaciated, his heart tightened slightly, inadvertently, and there was a faint, nowhere sour.

*

"What's the matter?, isn't it comfortable?" After Ming Hao helped Le Zhengming into the bedroom and settled down, he walked into the kitchen and said to Le Yao, who was immersed in washing dishes, "You have eaten very little tonight." ”

"It's okay, I'm fine. Le Yao washed the dishes without looking back, even though she was in turmoil these days, her voice was as quiet as a calm lake. Over the past five years, she has become accustomed to disguise, to hiding her true emotions.

"I thought ......" Ming Hao was a little at a loss, and wanted to ask the words, but swallowed it in his throat at this time: "The dishes I made are not to your liking." But what Ye Hui said made him fidgety all afternoon...... He didn't dare to ask directly, he was afraid of hurting her, and he was even more afraid of scaring her away.

Le Yao's lips rose slightly, but the smile was extremely dim: "Thank you, senior, thank you for helping me take care of my father...... Thank you even more for helping our father and daughter over the years. His liking for her is obvious, and she knows it, but she knows better that she is not worthy of him, let alone love, not to mention that her heart has been as dark as ashes five years ago.

Her thanks made Ming Hao uneasy, for fear that she would say something, although he obviously heard her say to Le Zhengming that he had no feelings for him, but he was still afraid that she would tell him face to face, so he plucked up his courage: "I heard that Man Tingfang's house is good, Le Yao, tomorrow is the weekend, let's go and see the house." ”

Le Yao wiped the drops of water on her hands, she understood the meaning of his words, and she was a little apprehensive: "Senior, congratulations, you are about to buy a house." Her eyebrows tightened slightly, "I'm sorry, I have to work overtime tomorrow, and I can't accompany you, otherwise, let Ye Hui accompany you to see it." ”

The refusal of her words made Ming Hao's face slightly hot, and he attacked him gloomily, and he wanted to impress her again: "My colleague said that the balcony of Man Tingfang's house is very large, which is very suitable for the elderly to bask in the sun, I think, Uncle Le should like it, I have also seen the floor plan, the two-room house, eighty square meters, very practical......"

"We don't have the money to buy a house. Le Yao turned around, her pale little face looked thinner because of her haggardness, and there was a hint of helplessness in her eyes like a crescent moon: "Although this house is a little old and the environment is a little worse, it is very practical for our father and daughter to live, not to mention that the rent is only five hundred yuan a month, and we can afford it." ”

The conversation between them carries another meaning...... Her refusal on the side made Ming Hao's chest suffocate uncomfortably, as a university teacher, he has always talked eloquently with friends at school, but as soon as he came to her, he felt speechless.

Le Yao untied the apron around her waist and hung it on the cement nail of the kitchen doorman.

At the moment when she was about to leave the kitchen, Ming Hao got the courage from nowhere, and his hand reached over and wanted to hold her hand...... He didn't want to wait any longer......

Time, maybe just passed by in an instant, just like his hand, when he was about to hold her hand, but he didn't expect that she would raise her hand and brush the hair on her forehead behind her ear, and his hand fell short.

At this time, the landline at Le Yao's house rang, she strode over and picked up the silver-gray old earpiece, the other party's words were only a few words, but it made her very disappointed, because, she was right, she really had to work overtime tomorrow. Originally, she wanted to spend more time on weekends with Le Zhengming...... But I didn't expect it......

But Ming Hao, who was a few meters away, was very disappointed and annoyed....... With his hands in his hair, he scratched helplessly......

*

"Dumb? Derpy......"

The gentle voice like a spring breeze rang in Le Yao's ears, and the afterglow of dusk fell on her face, as if dyed with a layer of redness, and there was a stubborn lightness in her eyes.

In the next second, his soft lips touched her cheek, although it was only like a dragonfly dotting water, but it made Le Yao's heart bump like a deer. She shyly pulled her legs and wanted to run, but she felt that her legs trembled so lightly that she couldn't take a step herself.

Without warning, he grabbed her hand accurately, and bowed his head close to her ear and said, "Little fool, don't think you can escape......

This was the first time he kissed her.

Her face was red and her heart was beating, her eyes were full of shyness, and when his lips touched hers, her eyelashes flickered like butterfly wings, but in just this short second, she found that she could not see anything.

And on the arm, there is no temperature of his hand;

It was pitch black, and she didn't even feel his presence......

Her chest was suffocating, she was afraid that fear would attack her, and she even felt like she was starting to breathe......

"Yunting!" she searched around, only to find that she couldn't speak at all......

"Ahh

The heat of her body and the coldness and fear in her heart made her feel that her heart was hollowed out.

Because, that scene, not a dream;

The kiss is real;

His warm words seem to still be in his ears.....

However, things have long been different.

In the past, he could always easily grab her arm, and always liked to joke that she couldn't escape, but in the end, he let her go.

The heart, if it is said to be chaotic, but, if you think about it carefully, it is a little dazed and gloomy;

Heart, if it is irritable, but her usual face is so calm, so calm that no one will see her mind, and no one will notice her abnormality.

Tears...... As usual any night, it spread out, and in order not to let Le Zhengming hear it, she closed her lips tightly to prevent herself from making a sound.

Night, long.

Night, lonely scared her.

In the past few years, she has not dared or wanted to think back to the events of that summer.

What is past is over;

The past can only exist in memories, and she deliberately wants to forget.

But, just when her heart was indifferent, she didn't expect that he would come back again, and, just like that, appeared in front of her alive, the indifferent eyes, the perfect but expressionless face, made her feel so strange and distant.

In fact, such a scene may have been doomed as early as five years ago.

Some memories, some feelings, maybe just her.

That thunderstorm night.

The brightly lit ballroom.

That gloomy garden.

That night when the fire was spreading......

It's all over.

And her heart, five years ago, was dead, wasn't it?

Changing out of the soaked cultural shirt, Le Yao forced herself to fall asleep, but her hand inadvertently touched her lower abdomen, and in the slight softness, there was a flat, thin scar, this scar has been close to the skin color over time, but when the hand touches it, you can faintly feel that under the scar, it is not as soft as other skins, and even, there is a feeling of hardness.

Suddenly, in her memory, she was reminded of something called "pain", when the knife cut through the lower abdomen, she even felt that she heard the sound of the skin being cut by the knife...... And then the feeling of frustration in her lower abdomen made her clearly know that all this was just something she had already noticed...... She, in the end, had nothing.

Her heart ached suddenly.
