Around the wee hours of the morning, the wind picked up in the yard.

A few agarwood leaves were carried into the room by the wind along the open sliding wooden lattice window.

Ji Linchuan pressed her and entangled at the end of the bed, and suddenly with a crisp sound, the long-necked vase on the pear blossom wooden round table by the window was blown down.

The sound of the two of them waking up from their old memories woke them up.

Ji Linchuan turned over and said with a smile on his back, "Fortunately, Lao Tzu's skin is still there." ”

For a while, the night wind howled all night.

Early in the morning, Ouyang Yuyu's loose hair swayed from side to side on the pillow, a pair of fine and moist eyelashes trembled, and her two hands clutched the quilt, shaking her head incessantly.

Dream said, "Don't leave me ......"

Ji Linchuan's eyes were gloomy, he glanced at her for a long time, and finally couldn't help but pick her up and shake her violently, until she opened her eyes with a snort, her eyes were dull, she couldn't tell the situation in front of her, and looked at him blankly.

Her unawake voice, with a heavy hoarseness, said, "Chen Jiatang, I dreamed of him for the first time. ”

Ji Linchuan's cold gaze covered her face, "Heh, I thought you only had that old guy in your dream." It's good to know that you have a troubled conscience. ”

He got up and walked straight into the bathroom, Ouyang Yuyou looked out the window, the sky was overcast, as if gray paint had been sprinkled, dark clouds were rolling, and the treetops were rattling.

While eating breakfast, it was raining outside, the floor was damp, the weather warning was issued on the TV, and the mobile phone received a text message alert at the same time.

At eight o'clock in the evening, Typhoon "Jenny" will make landfall in the city, and for a while, work and classes will be suspended, and the company, without exception, will give employees a day off.

Xiaozhi got up early, and when he heard that he didn't have to go to school, he changed out of his kindergarten uniform and asked his aunt to accompany him to the lotus pond in the yard to watch the koi.

The light rain was dripping, she held a black umbrella with a wooden handle, pulled Xiaozhi to stand far away, let him hold the fish food jar, and sprinkled it into the water one by one, and countless koi fish showed their heads in the rain, tossing and grabbing food.

When I raised my eyes, I saw Secretary Lin hurrying past the stone path next to the banana leaves.

A few minutes later, Ji Linchuan, who was in a white shirt and black clothes, strode over, his eyebrows were cold, his jaw was tight, Secretary Lin held an umbrella for him, and followed him at a trot, and the two of them hurriedly went out of the door.

At this time, Xiao Ai called, because she asked for leave to go back to her hometown, the weather was very good when she left yesterday, many windows were not closed, I heard that there was a typhoon here today, and reminded Mrs. Ji that the potted plants on the balcony on the second floor should also be received safely.

Ouyang Yuyou remembered that when the typhoon landed last year, Ji Linchuan's flight was delayed in other places, she fell asleep because of taking sleeping aids, and forgot to close the window of the study at night.

On such a day, if you don't go back to clean up, you won't suffer.

She turned around and walked back to the living room with Xiao Zhi, secretly thinking that she was worried about the painting in her workshop, not his broken study.

Hearing that she was going back there, Mrs. Ji said that the family driver had just left with Linchuan.

Ouyang Yuyou thought that the car should be stopped outside the old mansion, so she changed into a pair of boots, picked up an umbrella and was about to leave, when Mrs. Ji turned around and stood by the stairs and called Aunt Chen.

She turned around and said, "Let Lao Chen send you there." ”

Ouyang Yuyou's fingers nervously grasped the hem of her clothes, frowning resistantly, before she could speak, Aunt Chen had already gone downstairs, and Mrs. Ji asked her to go to the backyard to find Uncle Chen.

After a while, Uncle Chen came over with the car keys, and Ouyang Yuyou stood at the door, like a wooden pillar soaked in water, unable to move. She would rather endure the house being blown beyond recognition, with the floor filled with water and damaging her beloved paintings, rather than facing Uncle Chen alone on the way back.

His taciturn is actually more deterrent than Aunt Chen's wanton hatred.

Ouyang Yuyou put down her umbrella and said, "Forget it, I'll go back tomorrow." ”

Aunt Chen's face suddenly darkened, "Miss Ouyang, we didn't say anything, did you lose your temper first?" she raised her loose eyelids, "Heh, it's the same, forget that your head is hot, you like to call people casually, how happy you are." ”

Ouyang Yuyu had mixed feelings for a while, only looked at Mrs. Ji and said, "I can go back by myself." ”

She really didn't want to do it again.

But right now, she could only reach out and ask Uncle Chen for the car keys.

Mrs. Ji ignored her, the tragic situation of the child's driver's license test back then was still in front of her, in this weather, letting her drive alone was simply in response to Ji Linchuan's words, that is, to let a female killer on the road go out.

Mrs. Ji urged, "You guys go and go back quickly, don't delay on the road, the typhoon at night can't catch up." ”

Before the typhoon, most of the shops on both sides of the city were closed, the roads were crowded with vehicles rushing home, the road was congested like rush hour, and the windshield wipers were constantly swaying, repeatedly washing the blurred world in front of you.

Uncle Chen remained silent as usual.

Ouyang Yuyou felt bored and wanted to open the window, but the rain outside was getting heavier and heavier.

Suddenly, Uncle Chen said, "I remember that year, Jiatang and they took you out on a motorcycle, and when you came back, you also encountered a rainstorm, you froze all the way, and you came back with a fever, then your aunt just resigned, Mr. Ouyang was busy, and it was your Aunt Chen who guarded you for a day and a night." ”

Ouyang Yu was slightly stunned, remembering that it was when she was eleven or twelve years old.

She went out with Ji Linchuan and them, Aunt Chen always told her over and over again to avoid cold food outside, they sat on the ground and played cards, and the cushions prepared by Aunt Chen for her were always thicker than those of the two boys.

Uncle Chen said, "It is precisely because she has feelings for you that she speaks more ruthlessly, don't blame her." ”

For the first time in two years, I heard Uncle Chen comfort her like this. Ouyang Yuyou turned her face away, and warm tears fell.

But she clearly knows that no matter how close she is in the past, it only exists in the past, and the feelings between people will change, and now hatred is a chasm, and each of them can't cross it.

Ouyang Yuyou didn't expect anyone to forgive her, just like she never intended to forgive Ji Linchuan.

Half an hour later.

When she entered the house, most of the windows upstairs were open, and the curtains were damp and heavy, so she closed the doors and windows one by one, and went to check the workshop, the small sofa by the window had fallen, and the water could be squeezed out with a light press of her hand.

At this time, her mobile phone rang, and it was the editor of the publishing house she had worked with.

She tucked her phone between her shoulders, walked to draw the curtains, understood what the other person meant, and walked back to see the paper nailed to the display wall scattered, some of which had been rolled up by the damp and the colors were beginning to infect.

Uncle Chen cleaned up the water on the floor and went to the balcony to move all the plants to the indoor living room. I checked upstairs and downstairs a few times, put everything in place, and when I saw that the wind and rain were getting stronger and stronger outside, I came over and urged her to go back.

Two hours later.

Outside the window, there was the crisp sound of branches breaking and the doors and windows clanging.

Ouyang Yuyou was still drafting a drawing in the workshop, and the other party asked her to draw a picture, saying that the time was urgent, and the person who signed the contract to draw the picture suddenly had a situation, and the book that will be on the market next month was waiting for this cover picture to be typeset and printed.

She has always been responsive at work, not to mention that the other party begged her for half an hour.

A combination of various elements to create, and the work will be produced within three days, although it is a bit hasty, Ouyang Yuyou gritted her teeth and agreed.

In the afternoon when the storm hit, her ears seemed to be silent, and she felt a pain in her lower abdomen, hunched over, put down her pen again and again, and lowered her eyebrows.

Ouyang Yuyou looked back at the date on the wall, took a bag of sanitary napkins and turned around and went to the bathroom.

Every menstrual holiday, the trauma that the body has suffered will be revealed in turn in these days, headaches, backaches, limb limbs, body chills, drinking hot water, still uncomfortable and want to die.

She curled up in the sofa chair with her head in her knees.

Strange to say, at this uncomfortable time, she was the first to think of Ji Linchuan.

Hearing the mobile phone ringing, Ouyang Yuyou slowly raised her head, her eyes flashed with a hint of hope, but she saw Mrs. Ji's name appear on the mobile phone screen.

I only heard the reprimand on the other end of the phone and asked, "Where are you?"

She was confused by this, where could she be?

Ouyang Yuyou closed her eyes and replied weakly, "At home." ”

That's right, the Ji family's old mansion is not her home.

Here it is.

Mrs. Ji seemed to turn around, her voice was extremely loud, and she ordered: "You come over to me immediately!"

Hospital?

Ouyang Yuyou sighed in her heart, feeling like she had fallen into an ice cave.

Because before hanging up the phone, she heard Aunt Chen's crying over there.

As soon as she stepped out of the door, the cold raindrops rushed over the umbrella and slapped her calves, and she struggled to hold the handle of the umbrella in her arms with both hands, and rushed into the rain and mist like a waterfall.

As soon as the wind relaxes, I am afraid that the umbrella will blow away from my arms.

The rain was heavy, and the road was so deserted that there was no car to see, Ouyang Yuyou turned around and went home again, taking a car key from the entryway cabinet.

When she rushed to the door of the operating room, she saw Mrs. Ji holding Aunt Chen, who was wiping her tears, and her little uncle was also there.

Ji Fanlin saw his niece and daughter-in-law coming, and quietly walked over to tell her, "Lao Chen fell on the side of the road at the gas station, your mother-in-law and they are angry, if there is anything that does not hurt your ears, you can bear it, don't forget that your little uncle is on your side." ”

Ouyang Yu was stunned, she couldn't understand what was going on, and she didn't care about Ji Fanlin's words.

Aunt Chen was already full of resentment and rushed up, scolding: "Broom star! Three times and twice, as long as it touches you, there will be no good thing! When will you not harm us!"

The little uncle stood in front and said in a deep voice, "You calm down." ”

"Calm down?" Aunt Chen grieved, "The person who called the ambulance said that Lao Chen fainted on the side of the road for more than half an hour, and no one dared to care, and he shouldn't have gone out at all in such weather!"

She exploded with hatred and looked at Ouyang Yuyou, "He obviously didn't go out alone, why did he fall into such a situation! How can there be such a ruthless woman as you! It's not enough for you to kill my son, and the old trick will be repeated!"

Ouyang Yuyou's face was pale, her eyes were frozen, and she finally figured it out......

Aunt Chen suspected that she had left Uncle Chen, just like last time, and decided that she had left Chen Jiatang.

Even though no one believed her, she still explained, "I'm at home, and Uncle Chen is a ...... who went back alone."

Aunt Chen said sharply: "Nonsense! You are just like two years ago, you were the first to slip away when something happened, and you took care of your life first, Jiatang is soft-hearted, and his life is gone...... Okay, now it's Lao Chen's turn again. ”

Mrs. Ji's eyes were majestic and she reprimanded, "You still haven't apologized to Aunt Chen!"

Ouyang Yuyou clenched her hands tightly, her nails were embedded in her palms, the water droplets of her hair rolled down, and her soaked clothes stuck to her skin, she was very cold, and her heart seemed to have fallen into a black hole.

What really embarrassed her wasn't the "I'm sorry" sentence.

But she can't afford to have more explanations, and she has already been convicted of being a veritable sinner, but what should she apologize for?

Because of the bad weather, she shouldn't have said she wanted to go back.

Because something happened to happen, shouldn't she let Uncle Chen go alone?

Because she and Chen Jiatang are in the same car, but he is dead, but she is still alive?

So she became the villain who fled from her, and became the source of all calamities.

Aunt Chen slumped to the edge of the chair silently, and didn't forget to point at her and say, "No need to apologize, I can't afford it!"

She leaned against the wall and was slightly stunned, only to hear Aunt Chen continue, "Miss Ouyang will also make it clear in the future, except for the dead Ouyang Tengyuan, no one is obliged to indulge you!"

At this time, a voice answered: "I will indulge her from now on." ”

Immediately after, there was a chaotic sound of footsteps in the hallway.

I saw Ji Linchuan striding over, taking the handkerchief from Secretary Lin's hand, wiping off his clothes and the rain on his head, and five or six black-clothed bodyguards behind him, each carrying a safe in his hand, extremely cautious.

Secretary Lin didn't follow, but stopped in the distance with a group of bodyguards, waiting for Mr. Ji to finish handling family affairs and then go back to the Fansen raw material warehouse.

The little uncle met him and whispered, "If you don't come sooner, the errand with the mud will be thrown to me." ”

Ji Linchuan responded with a boo, patted Ji Fanlin's shoulder, walked up to Ouyang Yuyou, like coaxing a child, hugged her shoulder and said, "Apologize, what's so difficult." ”

Mrs. Ji glared at him, obviously blaming him for not figuring out the situation, but Ji Linchuan turned a blind eye and walked to Aunt Chen's side.

In front of everyone, he stood tall and slender, solemnly bent down, bowed and apologized.

Ouyang Yuyou lowered her eyelashes, her eyes were slightly sore, her abdominal pain was unbearable, and she supported her body against the wall.

After a while, Ji Linchuan raised his head, turned around and grabbed Ouyang Yuyou, and said, "Aunt Chen has been back for the past few days, and she has been angry, and she has also scolded those who should be scolded, I didn't stop me at all, but Yu Yu also grew up watching her, whether she will hurt others, you know very well." ”

Aunt Chen's eyes drooped, her anger did not subside, Ji Linchuan looked at the operating room and said, "Uncle Chen, I have asked someone to ask about the situation inside, the problem is not big, and I will be able to come out soon." ”

Mrs. Ji breathed a sigh of relief, and Aunt Chen's face softened slightly.

Ji Linchuan's eyes gradually turned cold, and he said in a deep voice: "Without Ouyang Tengyuan, she still has me." From now on, if Aunt Chen can let go of that incident, we will go back to the old house, and if she still refuses to spare her like this, I will take her home and not hinder your eyes again. ”

Take her home?

After hearing this, Mrs. Ji stood up angrily, pointed at Ouyang Yuyou and said, "For her, you can really do anything ridiculous!
