Some women are born to be soft to men.

But Ouyang Yuyou is obviously not this category, she is a single parent, she has no mother since she was a child, and she has not learned the experience of getting along with her parents, what she lacks is not only the delicate and soft expressiveness of women.

And she never knew how to please someone.

She said she was afraid of the cold, she said not to go, she felt that she was already compromising and begging him, which was the limit of what she could do at the moment.

But the shadow outside the sliding door was gone.

Ji Linchuan heard it, but he still left without hesitation.

She was left alone in the house.

After a long time, Ouyang Yuyou got up from the couch chair, and she walked out of the dressing room with her bare feet along the carpet.

She collapsed on the bed, big tears rolling out, and she watched the sky darken and saw the familiar street lights come on.

Skipping dinner and not having hunger in her stomach, it was strange that Jenny didn't scream again tonight, but she couldn't fall asleep tossing and turning, and the night was so long and so hard that she got up and went to get the medicine.

Holding a small white pill, she realized that she hadn't taken a sleep aid for a long time.

She almost forgot the insomnia, the feeling of night and day reversed, when did she start to become a normal person?

After swallowing, she wrapped herself in the quilt and closed her eyes.

Her stomach was empty, and she felt drowsy as she burned from the effects of the medicine.

The limbs were cold, the body seemed to be withdrawn, and the blood, bones, muscles, tendons and veins no longer belonged to her, only a trace of consciousness remained.

She dreamed of a scene.

Like a geist floating in the air, she saw a beige house, and she saw her eighteen-year-old self.

It was the second year that I had first arrived in the United States with my father, and they lived in a suburb of New York because of Tengyuan's business needs, and it was already early spring in March, but it was the latest heavy snow on record.

She participated in a sketching camp organized by the school and flew to a tropical city in South America, but when she returned, she did not rush home in the early morning due to flight delays, and the plane landed the next morning, and her eighteenth birthday had passed.

Dressed in a thick down jacket and dragging her suitcase, the first thing she did when she got home was to open the red lacquered wooden mailbox at the door and check the letters.

Unexpectedly, I found a pair of high heels studded with fine diamonds inside.

She hugged her shoes, bit off her gloves, and flipped through a pile of letters.

The car ticket receipt is her father's, the invitation to participate is hers, and there are various utility landline reminders, because the new domestic helper is an arrogant white-skinned American, she always forgets to deal with these small things, and often causes water and electricity outages in the house.

Ouyang Yu didn't care about complaining about her, exhaled the white hot air, and finally found the postcard sent by Lin Sheng from inside.

Her eyes glowed slightly against the white snow.

She smiled, and saw that the handwriting on it was vigorous and powerful.

It is written, Happy Eighteen, I wish you well.

He also drew a portrait of her with a pen in blue ink with bangs at the age of fifteen or sixteen.

Floating in the sky, she saw the girl who had just turned eighteen, running frantically towards the house with the shoes and postcards.

In the blink of an eye, the world swirled......

She dreamed of a certain year, on the streets of Los Angeles at night.

A scruffy, messy man has been following her since he came out of the exhibition hall.

She sensed that something was wrong, and walked faster and faster, the people behind her were in hot pursuit, and she was still talking about something, she was frightened, ran a long way in one breath, and called the police with her mobile phone, and when she was overtaken, she struggled and yelled, and the residents on the side of the road heard the noise and poked their heads out to ask, and then the nearby police came in a car.

Sitting in an American police station like that, it was the first time in her life.

No matter how she explained that she recognized the wrong person for a while, the police still felt that she and Ji Linchuan had teased them and wasted police resources, fined and warned, and checked the identity documents of the two, so they let them go.

How could she have thought that Ji Linchuan, who she hadn't seen for a long time, would appear in front of her with that down-and-out appearance.

Ji Linchuan later said that he hoped she would forget that night, because he was not handsome enough that day.

Because Uncle Ji had just died at that time, he began to indulge himself, he went to the casino to play for a few days and nights, he lost a lot of money, he said that he was so tired.

He said he missed her so much......

That brief reunion was only two or three hours, because Ouyang Tengyuan quickly picked her up after knowing the news.

She saw Ji Linchuan standing at the door of the police station, his lonely eyes, looking at herself into the distance......

It was a scene she hadn't noticed at the time.

And in this dream, she clearly saw him crying.

At that time, she was twenty-four years old.

……

said it was a dream, but every fragment was all real, but the details were erased by the distant time, hidden somewhere in her heart, for some reason, but it was like a movie, and it was presented in her dream as it was.

Ouyang Yuyou muttered in a low voice and turned over heavily under the covers......

In the chaotic consciousness, there seemed to be two forces, tearing her back and forth.

It hurt her so much that she wanted to escape, and there was a voice in the darkness laughing at her, laughing at her for being stupid, laughing at her for being cowardly, laughing at her for not being able to tell where her heart was?

She was arguing with the voice, and she said I know, I know......

It may be the effect of the drug, she cried heartbreakingly, but she couldn't wake up.

Later, she fell asleep, her body was no longer cold, and a hot air behind her was close to her, like lying in an embrace, she vaguely felt that someone was wiping her tears, and her hands were really warm, like her father's palms before, and her thick fingers rubbed her forehead, very soft and comfortable.

She was half-asleep until the next morning.

The constant phone calls woke her up completely.

Ouyang Yuyou opened her eyes and covered the dazzling sunlight outside the window with her hands, she got up weakly, rummaged through her bag to find her mobile phone, and found that the bedroom was very clean, those dishes and chopsticks were all gone, and even the clothes she threw on the sofa were neatly folded.

Could it be that Ji Linchuan had a conscience and recruited Xiao Ai back?

Before she could go downstairs to confirm, the phone rang again.

It's Molly.

Ouyang Yu's body swayed, sitting on the sofa chair, her heart faintly messed up, this woman took the initiative to call, what would happen?

She rubbed her drowsy head and answered the phone.

He spat out and said, "Hey, don't say that the old lady is not trustworthy, this time the news is accurate, I just informed you that the person has already appeared." ”

Ouyang Yuyou trembled suddenly, fanned her eyelashes, and asked, "Chen Jiatang......?"

"That's right. ”

Molly's affirmation made her tremble, her brother Jiatang is really alive......

"Where is he?"

"Yunnan. ”

How could Yunnan be this place?

Ouyang Yuyou asked, "Detailed address?"

Molly smiled: "I guessed that you would get to the bottom of it, but unfortunately, I don't know." ”

"You don't come here, you've been checking for so long, you don't even know this, are you a liar?"

"Let me tell you this, Brother Ji may have to go in person, if you really want to know, just find a way to come with you, say okay first, don't sell the old lady, he doesn't want you to get involved in this matter, that's all I can reveal, you can do the rest yourself." ”

Ouyang Yuyou hung up the phone, turned around and went to pack her luggage.

What can she do?

She has nothing, and all she can think of is to follow Ji Linchuan with a dead face first.

As for whether to sell Molly or not, it depends on the situation.

Ouyang Yuyou casually packed a few changes of clothes, and when she was about to go out, Lin Sheng called and said that she wanted to see her and had something very important to tell her.

"If you're not in a hurry, can you wait for me to come back and say?" Ouyang Yuyou changed her shoes and bent over her shoulder to hold her mobile phone.

"You don't have time?"

"Hmm...... It's a bit of a rush right now. ”

"Okay, I'll wait for you. ”

She took down her phone and saw Jenny dangling in front of her heels, Ouyang Yuyou took out the cat food and poured it a copy, thinking about how long she would have to go out, so she added another one to it, and then simply threw the bag there.

Only then did she realize that Xiao Ai hadn't come back at all, and the house was so clean, it was like a snail girl.

Ouyang Yuyou squatted there and stroked Jenny's head, watching it eat with relish, thinking that this cat was unattended, she was thinking about whether to entrust it to anyone, Ah Sheng, Xiao Ai, or send it back to the old mansion to Sister Li?

She sent a message, grabbed her bag and was about to leave.

"You, where are you going?"

The big empty house, defenseless, suddenly a voice sounded coldly, so frightened that she almost sat on the ground before she could get up.

Looking back, it was Ji Linchuan.

He came from the direction of the guest room, in a suit and leather shoes, without a scarf, and also carrying a small suitcase in his hand.

Did he not leave last night, or did he come back today?

But one thing she was sure of was that there were no snail girls in the house.

"Where are you going?" she said, her eyes rising to her feet, and she asked him the same question.

"Business trip. Ji Linchuan's eyes fell on her bag, looked at it for a while, and lowered his eyes: "I heard it right, you were on the phone just now, what's the matter, you want to go far away?"

The latter sentence is a mockery, these years you have to live in a hotel to have an ID card, and it's strange that she can go far away.

Ouyang Yuyou behaved extremely docilely, stood respectfully in the entrance and waited for him, and said, "Well, I'm on a business trip with you." ”

Ji Linchuan raised his eyebrows and shook his head silently, obviously not believing her at all.

He went out, turned into the garage on his own, swept around, and just unlocked the door of the Maybach, when he turned around to see that she had already cut through the stitches, and quickly took her bag and sat inside.

Only then did I realize that she was real.

Ji Linchuan stood outside the car, stared at her, hugged his arms and said coldly: "Don't wait for Lao Tzu to do it, come out by yourself." ”

Ouyang Yuyou mobilized the cells all over her body, first smiled at the corners of her mouth, and then turned her head slightly, the angle of the tip of her nose and her shoulders was just right to charm.

"Mr. Ji is going to take that female employee on a solo business trip again?"

She did not mention her name, saying that she was a female employee.

A reminiscent sentence.

I saw her hook her slightly jealous eyes, and said in a flattering voice: "I don't worry about you, it's not wrong to think about Xiao Shen's words, my wife doesn't show some posture this season, do you really treat you as a free-ranger?"

The tone that is soft to the bones, if it is placed on weekdays, maybe it can really make people tremble and want to bite her.

And at this moment, Ji Linchuan touched his chin and said nonchalantly, "Come on, continue acting." ”

Ouyang Yuyou glanced at him, slightly withdrew some of her overly strong acting skills, her voice was still very soft, she said, "You know what Yan Tong thinks about you, and you still take her back to the old mansion, now it's okay, your mother wants her to be the daughter-in-law of the Ji family, I don't want to be careful, this Mrs. Ji is afraid that she is really going to be replaced, is it wrong for me to keep an eye on it?"

"Really?"

"Of course ......"

Ji Linchuan took a stance, quickly pulled the car door with his arm, leaned over in front of her, and said, "Ouyang Yuyou, coquettish, pretending to be flattering, jealous, don't do these things you are not good at in the future, acting here will only make Lao Tzu more angry." ”

She pursed her lips, looked at him unconvinced, and pushed, "I'm going with you anyway." ”

Ji Linchuan's slender figure flashed, exited the car, closed the car door with a snort, and walked straight out of the garage.

Ouyang Yuyou leaned out and hurriedly opened the car door to catch up: "Ji Linchuan!"

Chasing from the semi-underground garage to the door, the light changed from dim to bright, his tall back suddenly turned around, stretched out his arms and pointed at her, and said, "Stand here and wait, don't move a single step." ”
