At night, the rain was pouring down.

Lei Mingjia.

The delicate chandelier hung from the ceiling as usual, but now it seemed to shine a little less than it used to.

Lei Ming stood on the edge of the sofa with an impatient look on his face, while Ye Chengxuan sat on the sofa and stared at the person opposite, although he did not have Lei Ming's impatience, but it could be seen that he was not as calm as usual.

But Xia Haitong was a little lazy next to the sofa, with neither impatience nor sadness on his face, just a kind of indifference.

"...... Tung Tree"

Ye Chengxuan's call broke the silence in the hall, and Xia Haitong looked at him, but did not respond.

At this time, Ye Chengxuan suddenly stopped talking, obviously he had a lot of words to say, but they were all stuck in his throat, and he couldn't say a word.

Lei Ming looked at Ye Chengxuan, and then at Xia Haitong, the impatience in his eyes became even worse, and he suddenly said: "When did you two become so boring, and now when are you still playing deeply!"

I don't know if Lei Ming's words are funny or his appearance seems to be, Xia Haitong actually laughed out loud with a "poof", Lei Ming and Ye Chengxuan looked at each other, and their eyes were a little puzzled.

"Don't worry, although he doesn't love me, he loves Miss Gu very much. She paused and said slowly, "Aren't some couples also emotionless now, I think I'm more fortunate than those wives, at least I can be sure that Ye Chengzhi will be very good to me, I think I will probably live a happy life." ”

"Probably......" Ye Chengxuan leaned forward slightly, "Haitong, in fact, you don't have to do this at all, you don't owe me anything at all!"

"Ye Chengxuan, stop calling me Haitong, I'm not used to it. She paused, "If I don't do this, are you really sure that Xue Ying won't be injured?" You know, the current Ye Chengzhi is no longer the Ye Chengzhi of the past. ”

Ye Chengxuan was silent, Lei Ming's face also sank, Xia Haitong turned his head away, and said slowly: "Also, some things are owed, it's not that you say you don't have it." And I didn't do it all to pay off my debts, and I didn't want a girl as good as Xue Ying to get hurt. ”

She is right, now Ye Chengzhi has lost the rationality of ordinary people, he can really do anything in order to get her. Only her sacrifice can ensure that Ye Xueying is safe, and there is no other choice.

In fact, they all understand the truth, but they don't know how to accept this fact.

Especially him.

When Ye Chengzhi said his request, he felt at a loss, and he didn't know how to choose all this.

Ye Xueying, this sister is his only relative now, and she is also the person he has been trying to protect, and he can sacrifice everything for his sister.

Xia Haitong, this is the only woman in his life who makes him emotional, and it is also the woman he tries his best to compensate, and he can sacrifice his life for her.

Once, he thought he could control everything, and he thought that everything was within his calculations, but she let his wishful thinking overturn again and again, disappointed his expectations again and again, and made him regret it again and again.

He remembered that on that snowy night, they met.

He remembered that for countless days and nights afterward, he often pestered her, just to make her his pawn.

He still remembered that her stubbornness had aroused his possessiveness that night, and her jerky and aromatic fragrance had given him the desire to occupy her body.

He thought, if he had lost so much rationality at that time, if he had left his mark on her, would it all be different?

If there really is an if, then if he carries out the gamble between the two to the end, will the result be different?

The picture of the two of them getting along quickly passed through his mind, and all her joys and sorrows came to his eyes, once he was happy for her fear and sorrow, but once he was also heartbroken for her tears.

He also remembered the staring at the two at the ball, remembering her questioning him if he was the man, remembering that she drugged him and said to him, "I want to help you".

Obviously how many times he had the opportunity to almost touch her heart, but again and again because of him, he made her close the door again and again, he made her sad again and again, and beat her into the eighteenth layer of hell again and again.

Knowing today, he would not have tortured her so much in the first place, and when he got the position of president later, he should not have put her by Ye Chengzhi's side, then she would not have been hurt by him, he should keep her, and he should tell her his feelings.

Or, he shouldn't have given her to Ye Chengzhi from the beginning.

If time could be turned back, Ye Chengxuan hoped to go back to the beginning of their encounter, when she was still a little girl hurrying in the snow, undevastated by reality, still a flower in a greenhouse.

He would rather never meet her, never have her, and not hurt her.

But there is no if it is impossible to turn back time, some things happen and cannot be changed no matter what.

"Xiao Xuan, do you really plan to send her out like this? Also, don't tell me that you have to fulfill those perverted requests made by Ye Chengzhi. ”

Lei Ming's words interrupted his thoughts, and Ye Chengxuan leaned back and said, "I don't know." ”

Lei Ming looked at Ye Chengxuan, he could see that he had no fighting spirit now, and he was not at all like the Ye Chengxuan he knew before.

Lei Ming's eyes were anxious, and he yelled at Ye Chengxuan: "Xiao Xuan I know is not like this, he is a person who can find life in a desperate situation, no matter what difficulties he encountered before, he will definitely be able to solve them one by one, just like Xue Qing and Xia Haitong, you can find them if they are so difficult to find, but now you are just encountering a slightly bigger difficulty, why are you scared!"

"That's different!" Ye Chengxuan said sharply, "I can find them because I still have the advantage of time in understanding Li Siqin, but now? No matter the right time, place or people, I have lost it, what do you say I can do with the remaining ten hours!"

Lei Ming punched the coffee table and yelled at him: "You can do a lot of things in more than ten hours! Isn't it a matter of hours to find them! As long as you are willing to think about it, with your intelligence, I don't believe that you can't think of a way!!"

"Xiao Ming, I'm a human being, not a god!" Ye Chengxuan waved his palm, "If you want to say that the most wrong thing I did this time is to ignore Xue Ying's factor, when I went out this morning, she told me that she was going to Paris, I should be alert!"

He thought, in fact, this is not the most wrong place for him, what he is most wrong is that he should not tell her everything Wang Defang has done until now, he should not have too many worries, should not have too much hesitation!

Xia Haitong looked at him and suddenly said, "Don't blame yourself, Ye Chengzhi has always cherished Xue Ying and is filial to Wang Defang, who would have thought that he would suddenly change so much?"

Lei Ming looked at Xia Haitong and asked, "Judging by your attitude, are you going to resist too?"

Xia Haitong sighed lightly and said, "Lei Ming, you have to take good care of Xiaoqian, she is a good girl." Also, don't tell her about this matter first, just say that I went to live abroad, and then you can find a suitable time to tell her. ”

Lei Ming looked at the two of them with his mouth wide open, he casually picked up a vase and smashed it on the ground: "I think you are all crazy!"

The crisp sound of breaking echoed in the large living room, the sound of the rain gradually became louder, and the air pressure in the air became lower and lower.

All three were silent, except for the sound of the rain and the sound of their breathing and the ticking of the bell.

After a while, Lei Ming couldn't stand this atmosphere and suddenly said, "I'll go out and breathe!"

With a "bang" falling heavily, only the shadows of two people remained in the living room.

They sat opposite each other, each other's pupils reflecting each other's figures, but they remained silent.

It's not that they don't have something to say to each other, it's just that they don't know where to start.

They were silent until a bolt of lightning struck the sky!

Xia Haitong was stunned for a moment, then quickly closed her eyes and covered her ears, because she knew what was going to happen next.

But even though she had tightened her ears, the thunder still reached her ears, into her brain, and haunted her heart.

The charred figure of her brother froze in front of her eyes, her body curled up in a ball, and her hands and feet suddenly became cold.

However, at this moment, a touch of warmth enveloped her whole body, and the familiar smell lingered under her nose.

The cologne is mixed with a hint of tobacco, which is his characteristic smell.

All this reminded her of that thunderstorm night, the faint smell of earth, the figure who was desperate to find her, and her misunderstanding of her.

For a moment, her armed heart became a little empty, but the words she came out of her mouth were ......

"Let go of me, I don't need your mercy. ”

Xia Haitong's words were very calm, at least on the surface, she was very calm.

"I won't let go, Hai ......" Ye Chengxuan groaned slightly, and changed his words, "Your body is very cold, at least I won't let you go until your body is warm." ”

"It's my own business, I said no...... Ah——!h

The sudden thunder made Xia Haitong's body tremble slightly, Ye Chengxuan's heart tightened, and he directly held her whole person in his arms.

"Let go of me, you let go of my ——! brother...... No, don't ——!"

She struggled in her arms, but the freeze-frame image gnawed at her brain like a million worms, and she clutched her head in pain and forgot to resist for a moment.

"Haitong, calm down!"

Ye Chengxuan didn't care about her dislike, so he called her "Haitong" directly, he hugged Yiren in his arms tightly, and said to her: "Haitong, I'm here, don't be afraid, don't be afraid." ”

His voice was very soft, as soft as a spring breeze, and somewhere in her heart seemed to be touched by this softness, and she slowly wavered.

However, her heart was already frozen, how could she suddenly melt because of this little tenderness?

Xia Haitong clenched her fists and forcibly sobered herself, she opened her eyes, looked up at Ye Chengxuan, and said word by word: "Let go, let go, me!"

There was a kind of disgust on her face, and she said it decisively, without the slightest hesitation.

Ye Chengxuan looked at her, the small hope in his heart was completely shattered, it turned out that what he thought was just what he thought.

He should let go of her, or he wasn't qualified to touch her again.

It's just that he doesn't know why, but he can't control his hand from leaving her, and even harder and harder, wrapping her in his arms.
