People always change at any time, and we will change according to certain circumstances. Some changes will make you radical forward, while others will make you lose your way on the familiar road......

Ye Yuanshi and I were lying in bed, and I didn't light a cigarette. This contact can be said to have changed both of us. Her smile was fresh and lovely, and I lifted her cheek and kissed her the lips. She bit her nails with her teeth and said to herself, "I'm a virgin......" I said with a wicked smile, "Not anymore......" She glanced at me and mocked, "Didn't you know how to speak before?!" I didn't answer directly, but took her in my arms and stroked her hair. People are in love with many childish words, and once upon a time they remembered the beginning of crying.

She suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, how did you guess the brand of my underwear?" I thought to myself: "Do you remember when we just moved in together, we both looked forward to the same room, when you were packing your luggage in the house, I saw your box with underwear, and then wrote that name casually according to memory, but I didn't expect to answer correctly......" Ye Yuanshi snorted lightly with her nose and twisted her face to the side.

The next morning, we were the first couple to arrive at the filming location, due to a light rain last night, it dropped by five degrees in an instant today, the filming location was full of water, some crew members were cleaning up, and the sky was also cloudy. The director originally wanted to postpone the filming for one day, but the crew's funds were really limited, so it could only be carried out in this kind of unsatisfactory situation.

The people who were blown by the cold wind shivered, and the host introduced the day's itinerary tremblingly. I noticed that Ye Yuanshi was absent-mindedly in a daze, and touched her with her arm.

The staff handed out the task card to everyone, and when she walked up to Ye Yuanshi, Ye Yuanshi was like a frightened bird, her body trembled, and she asked loudly: "What's wrong?!"

Seeing her strange behavior, everyone turned their eyes to our side, and I hurriedly explained: "She has been too tired lately, and she didn't rest well last night." The director nodded and asked with great concern: "Do you want to go and rest first?!" Ye Yuanshi looked at me sideways and replied, "I...... I'm fine, no need......" I could guess why she was anxious at the moment, but I could only hide it. I can't explain to anyone that I had sex with my wife in my room last night...... They're going to think I'm crazy and talking incoherently.

Although Ye Yuanshi and I have already had a skin-to-skin relationship, we have not had a deeper "contact" after that. Maybe the "same room" in her heart may be just an impulsive accident......

With the filming day by day, the show is finally coming to an end. On the day when the shooting ended and the others were separated, everyone's faces were full of reluctance. Maybe the separation is for reunion, but the current parting is a fact, each of us has the same emotion in our hearts, but each person's emotions are different from each other. I always thought that Ye Yuanshi was a person who was not easy to be emotional, and she belonged to the kind of person who would only reveal her heart in front of relatives or acquaintances. And today, seeing her so reluctant to say goodbye to everyone, I also have a little more urge to protect her.

At the end of this trip, standing in the villa again, looking at every familiar piece of furniture and furnishings, will make me look at it intently......

Since returning home from that shooting, Ye Yuanshi and I have been less silent than before, and sometimes we don't even have a word of communication, both sides are embarrassed to speak first, and it seems that they feel embarrassed to say anything.

Just in time for this stage, Ye Kuimin happened to come to the villa to visit her daughter. He used to come occasionally, but he didn't call us before he came. Seeing his daughter's silent appearance, he asked very strangely, "What's the matter, girl?" Then he quickly moved his gaze to me, and said puzzledly: "You guys quarreled?" I looked at Ye Yuanshi on the side, and opened my mouth wide at a loss. How do I explain that it wasn't an accident?!

Ye Yuanshi suddenly raised her head and said, "Oh! Dad, I'm just a little uncomfortable, it's nothing to do with him......" I secretly breathed a sigh of relief, Ye Kuimin nodded, didn't ask anything, chatted for a while and left.

Seeing Ye Kuimin away, Ye Yuanshi and I sat at the coffee table without saying a word, but we were thinking about each other's thoughts. After a long time, I straightened up and said, "What happened that time...... Maybe we were all a little impulsive at the time...... But I want to ...... with you ...... together" Ye Yuanshi kept her head down and didn't answer, I saw her lowered shoulders trembling slightly, at first I thought she was crying, but after careful inspection, I realized that she was snickering.

I asked curiously, "Are you laughing?" Her shoulders stopped shaking instantly, and she raised her head and said with a serious face, "No!" Before she could finish speaking, she couldn't help but laugh again. I couldn't help but laugh out loud as I watched her smile so happily.

After a while, she suppressed her smile and asked, "What are you laughing at?" "I see you laughing so happily, and I have been infected myself......"

She moved her gaze back to the coffee table: "I was laughing at you just now, and when my dad asked you, your expression was too funny." "I think back to it, and it was really stupid. I swallowed heavily and said seriously, "I'll ...... in the future." Willing to laugh with you all the time...... I'll always be with you......" But halfway through the sentence, I didn't know what to say next. Ye Yuanshi stood up expressionlessly, I thought she didn't hear what she had just said, so she repeated again: "I said...... I am willing to be with you all the time......" She suddenly turned around, smiled happily and said, "Oh, I know! How many times are you going to say it! I won't say anything......" Seeing her walk into the back of the kitchen, I felt an indescribable joy in my heart.

After that, our diaphragm gradually fades until it is no longer there...... But one thing to make clear, although we are in a relationship and live under the same roof, we have not changed our previous lives, and we still sleep in our own rooms, which is the result of our coincidence. In fact, this is also very good, it can leave some personal space for each other, and at the same time, the feelings of each other will increase after marriage, although it is still too early to talk about marriage......

One of the things that can lift my spirits the most is that I don't have to order takeout anymore, Ye Yuanshi is fully responsible for my food, she is not only a diplomatic expert, cooking is also one of her strengths. Every morning I would be woken up by the smell of the food she cooked, and as a rich girl, it was not easy to make such delicious meals.

On the other hand, the company is also going well, and is now moving towards formalization and has a place in the industry circle. All of this was hard-won, including my relationship with Ye Yuanshi.

Just as the relationship between me and Ye Yuanshi was gradually heating up, Xiao Wu opened his mouth to borrow money again, and this time the amount was 100,000...... He borrowed more and more, and I couldn't help but worry about his current situation. Looking at the good guy sitting opposite me with yellow muscles and thin muscles, this is no longer the Xiao Wu I had in my previous impression. I asked worriedly, "What's wrong with you? Xiao Wu looked melancholy, and seemed to have endless grievances.

It turned out that after I lent him money for the first time, he did not repay the loan, but used the money to continue to speculate in stocks, and finally lost everything. Then there was the second stock speculation, Xiao Wu naively thought that the more he invested, the more he would return, but he didn't know how to speculate on stocks at all, and he didn't look at the stock market at that time, so he lost everything. After losing twice, he was embarrassed to come and borrow money from me again, so he went to a company and borrowed a loan shark of 100,000 yuan. His girlfriend also broke up with him because of this incident.

Xiao Wu took the money to invest in stocks for the third time, although this time it was better, and he made tens of thousands of yuan in profits in the early stage, but he did not stop there, but invested the tens of thousands of yuan he had just earned into stocks, and this time there was no good luck before.

Seeing that the repayment date was getting closer and closer, Xiao Wu was at a loss, he knew what the company over there would do if he didn't repay the money before the deadline. In the end, he came to me for help, but his reason for borrowing money made me unable to lend a helping hand to him.

"If you lend me one last time, I will definitely win it all back this time......" Xiao Wu leaned forward, still obsessed. Looking at the former best friend in front of me, but now he looks like this, I feel a little uncomfortable. I knew that he was completely addicted to it, and that if I lent him any more money, it would be a disservice to him, so I changed the subject and began to persuade him not to fall into it. But he didn't have a look at it at all, he still thought that he could turn things around, but he didn't think about the risks in the slightest.

I walked around the table, sat down next to him, put my hand on his shoulder and said, "You're in it now, what if I lend you money and lose again...... Will that loan shark company give up?" Xiao Wu turned his face, trembled and held my hand, and said excitedly: "No, I have calculated it! I will definitely win it all back this time!" I shook my head, let go of his clenched hands, and said to him indignantly: "I can help you pay off the money, but I will not lend you money to speculate in stocks anymore! Look at your current appearance, you are no longer the same Wu Hao as before!"

Xiao Wu stood up suddenly, his face stiff and angry, and said, "I knew that you didn't want to lend me money, right......? Okay! You're awesome, I don't care if you borrow it!" Then he turned around and walked out the door, glaring at Ye Yuanshi who was standing aside as he left. He hurried out of the villa, completely oblivious to me calling his name from behind.

Through so many years of understanding Xiao Wu, I also probably figured out his character. He would always hint at me behind my back, and when I actually implemented his ideas in front of everyone, he would consciously or unconsciously transfer some stupid reasons to me to elevate himself. So when I communicate with him, I usually deliberately avoid the idea of touching him. But the state he is in today is something I didn't expect at all.

I sat on the sofa with a solemn face and said nothing, and Ye Yuanshi was silently by my side. I picked up my phone and dialed Anan. To my surprise, Anan didn't know about it, Xiao Wu just told him to go to other places to do business and borrow a sum of money. Compared to me, Xiao Wu and Anan have a closer relationship, and they can talk better, but this matter is hidden from Anan, I don't know if it is right or wrong to tell Anan about this, and whether it will cause Xiao Wu's dissatisfaction, at that time, I just want to solve this troublesome matter as soon as possible.

As expected, Xiao Wu looked angry when he learned that I had told Anan about this, and he grabbed me by the collar with hatred, roaring and pouring out his indignation. Despite my repeated explanations, he vowed not to give up, not caring about whether watching the crowd would affect me. After venting, he slowly let go of me and walked away angrily. In fact, I also expected that there would be a day when I parted ways with Xiao Wu, because our personalities, including our thoughts, are diametrically opposed, as the so-called "different ways do not conspire with each other", but I didn't expect to go against each other in such a way......

In the crowd of onlookers, someone recognized me and took pictures with their mobile phones in surprise, and others began to follow suit. During this time, not one of the people left, but each of them talked about what had just happened with their companions. They may think I'm a monkey in a zoo and putting on a show for them......

After that, I asked around about the loan shark company in Shangdu, hoping to find the one that Xiao Wu borrowed from and make up the arrears as soon as possible. The end of the repayment date is the beginning of the nightmare. Anan was also asking around for news, but gradually, I found that his attitude was a bit inclined to Xiao Wu, and at first he was very supportive of my views, and later persuaded me to lend me money to Xiao Wu. I don't understand why he, who was united with me at the beginning, gave up now and chose the so-called "help". Our conversation became more and more intense each time, so much so that in the end we broke up and went our separate ways......

Now it has become a problem to contact Xiao Wudu, and I have also called his ex-girlfriend, hoping that she can persuade Xiao Wu, but after the other party heard my voice, he immediately hung up the phone, and then he couldn't get through.

Ye Yuanshi has been helping me find a loan company, but I haven't found any news. Companies like that which have no mortgage and take advantage of legal loopholes will generally try everything to avoid investigation, and it is not easy to find out. It is said that a woman's intuition is the most accurate, and when Xiao Wu borrowed money from me for the second time, Ye Yuanshi cleverly discovered Xiao Wu's abnormality, but I didn't notice anything.

Although Xiao Wu and Anan could not be contacted, Huang Taizi happened to come back from the field at this time, and after learning what happened to Xiao Wu and the unhappiness that happened to us, he resolutely stood on my side, which made me sad and relieved. I hoped to be able to get in touch with Xiao Wu or Anan through Taizi, but after meeting Anan in Taizi, I was completely disappointed. Anan was very resolute, they felt that I was different now than before, and thought that I was deliberately not helping Xiao Wu. Although Tai Zi also told them his thoughts, Anan still stubbornly believed that he should lend money to Xiao Wu first.

It's been more than 10 days since the scheduled repayment date, and I still haven't heard anything about the company. Just when we were all at a loss, there was news that made me even more worried......

After I received the call, I hurried to the hospital, only to see Xiao Wu lying on the hospital bed with a wounded face, and when he saw my appearance, he closed his eyes and twisted his head to the side. Anan walked straight up to me, pressed me against the wall and said angrily, "This is what the fuck you want to see? You're a fucking bastard!" Tae stood next to me and patted me on the shoulder. I was touched by this kind of concern alone.

I handed over the cash I had brought in advance to Tai Zi, hoping that the money would allow Xiao Wu to get the best possible treatment. But when Anan found out about this, he angrily threw the bills on me: "You're rich, aren't you?! Now you want to help him? We don't need it!"

Looking at the banknotes scattered on the ground, my heart was full of grief and anger, but I didn't know where to vent. I stood still in a daze, and Tai Zi bent down to pick up the copper-smelling bills. The nurses on duty on the side were also silently helping, and they restacked the scattered banknotes into a stack and placed them on the windowsill next to them......

The hard work paid off, and after many inquiries, I finally found the loan company! I heard Tai Zi say that this company is in a small suburban tunzi, and the company is small but famous far and wide. So I took cash and made all the preparations, and then rushed to the suburbs with Ye Yuanshi......

I didn't want Ye Yuanshi to get involved in this matter, because she had already helped me too much. After hearing that I didn't let her go, her face instantly changed from joy to anger: "If you don't let me go, I won't lend you my dad's car!"

In the end, I was helpless, and finally surrendered to her reason. Actually, there's nothing wrong with her going with me, I just don't want to trouble her anymore. But looking at her big smart eyes and bright look, I am also a lot more relieved, she can completely act as my brainstorm, and at the same time save unnecessary trouble......

Although the company was in the suburbs, it was not as far away as I thought, because this tunzi was very close to my biological mother's cemetery, so as soon as I heard the name, I had a general image in my mind.

It took less than half an hour to drive and arrive at the destination. We followed the address and found a particularly remote house, which did not look abnormal from the outside, just an ordinary house. I knocked on the door, the window on the door opened, and a choking smell of smoke came to my face, only to see that the room was full of smoke, and the "click" sound from the collision between mahjong and mahjong was deafening, and the room was simply noisy.

A man asked at the window, "Who are you looking for?" and I hesitated and replied, "I'm here to borrow." The man inside opened the door without hesitation and pointed to the inner room: "It's in that room!"

I hinted that Ye Yuanshi stayed outside, but she didn't listen and insisted on walking in with me. We rounded the somewhat crowded crowd and knocked on the door he was pointing to. A woman's voice answered in the room, and the door slowly opened. There are three men and one woman in the room, three men are shirtless, sitting at the table playing poker, there are several small stacks of hundred-dollar bills in the corner of the table, this room is much better decorated than the outhouse. One of the men in the room looked me and Ye Yuanshi up and down and asked, "Is there anything wrong with you?"

I put my backpack back and replied, "We're here to pay back!"

The man gave the other two men a look, and they put on their clothes and walked out of the room. The man cleaned up the clutter on the couch and motioned for me to sit down. I put down my backpack and asked calmly: "Do you have any impression of Wu Hao?" He pretended to think for a while and replied: "I know him, he has taken out a loan from me, and we have a little friendship!" Then he asked differently: "Do you want to repay his arrears?"

I nodded, but the man didn't buy it, and he put his feet on the edge of the table and looked ugly: "You know he owes a lot!"

I smiled, took out the paper bag in my backpack, slammed it on the table, and lightly took out a piece of paper and put it on the table and said: "Wu Hao owes you a total of 150,000 yuan with interest! I will give you 200,000 yuan, you sign this list, don't trouble Wu Hao in the future, and your debts are also cleared, and then give me his loan note, how about it?!"

He paused for a moment, looked at the paper bag on the table, and suddenly burst into laughter, his laughter was very harsh, and the whole room was filled with his shrill noise, and then immediately put away his smile, took his foot off the table and said contemptuously: "It's not bad money to do what we do, it doesn't matter if it's tens of thousands or tens of thousands, the important thing is integrity" I interrupted him without waiting for him to finish...... "But this money is not a small number for you!" He paused, laughed again, and pointed at me: "Okay!

He walked up to me, picked up the sketch and looked at it, signed his name on the paper without hesitation, and then motioned for the woman in the room to take the money, but my hand was pressed on the paper bag. The man asked, "I signed!" and I replied with a smile, "You still need to press your handprint!"

The man laughed again, this time so close that I could even feel the vibration of his voice. He pressed the clay on his thumb and said, "You city people are really good at playing!"

I let go of my hand pressed against the banknote, and the woman took the money and went into the back room. I took the loan slip from the man and got up to leave, when the man suddenly realized what was stopping us.

"Wait a minute! I think I've seen you on TV......" He suddenly realized: "Ah! You're the bastard of that group! I remember you!"

This sentence almost angered me, if it weren't for Ye Yuanshi who had been pulling my arm by the side, I would definitely rush up and punch him. He looked at Ye Yuanshi again and said, "I think of you too, you are his wife, right?!What kind of TV series have you acted in...... I'm your fan, I can see a real person today......" As he spoke, he walked up to Ye Yuanshi and wanted to hug him, but I pushed him away, and he was not angry. I warned him, "I hope you keep your promise and stop making trouble with Xiao Wu." He nodded, returned to the table and said, "What do you have to do with Wu Hao? Are you so willing to help him? He's such a scoundrel! We had a good relationship before, he opened his mouth to borrow money, and I borrowed it without saying a word, but then he said that he was still not available, and he was disrespectful." You also know that we still need to live, so I warned him a little, I didn't expect to move you here, he never said that he knew you, he would have ordered more if he had known!"

I ignored him and pulled Ye Yuanshi out of this disgusting place. Back in the car, we sat quietly in the car without saying a word, and the car did not start. We were silent for nearly ten minutes, and Ye Yuanshi took my hand and asked worriedly, "Are you okay!"

I closed my eyes tiredly, I have been suffering for the past few days, I have been blaming myself, I always feel that I hurt Xiao Wu. Ye Yuanshi seemed to see through my thoughts, and sighed and said, "Do you know...... At that time, after my mom left my dad, everyone else looked at me strangely, saying that my mom had run away with another man. But I survived that time to get to where I am today. People must step forward and look forward, and everything will become the ...... of history."

Although what she said did not calm the depression in my heart, it was still warm to hear the comfort from my lover. I smiled and kissed her on the cheek. With the roar of the car's engine starting, a layer of dust was raised, and the dirt road where the wheels were crushed left shallow tire marks, and the houses behind me gradually disappeared as the car accelerated, and my mind was forced to pull out of this "country of projectiles".

Before we returned, we stopped by the cemetery where my birth mother was placed. It's been a time I've been on this land for I don't know how many times, and sometimes, completely forgetting how I got here. I don't have the image of my biological mother in my mind, so I can only supplement my blank memory through a few remaining photos. I miss her a lot, but I don't have a complete impression of missing her...... Ye Yuanshi has been holding my arm, just this kind of companionship is enough for me.

The people from the lending company kept their promise and didn't trouble Xiao Wu again. Now the only thing worth worrying about me is Xiao Wu, his grudge against me will accumulate more and more, after several hospital visits were denied, I have no choice but to face the reality, Xiao Wu and Anan should not know that I went to pay back the money, but this is exactly what I wanted, but this matter has not been able to hide from Tai Zi.

"It's the money you paid back for Xiao Wu, right?" Tai Zi asked lightly as he handed me a cigarette. I didn't answer him directly, I waved my hand and said, "I don't smoke for a long time......" He put away the cigarette that was already in his mouth and said, "Why don't you call me when you go to pay the money?" "I don't want to trouble anyone anymore." In just a few words, I showed a confused look.

"Xiao Wu said that no one went to him anymore, and you asked me about that company again, I guess you must have secretly returned the money. He muttered to himself. I let out a long sigh and looked at the distant sky with a solemn gaze, and he glanced at me and looked in the same direction as me, "You have indeed changed!"

I looked at him nervously, and he chuckled and said, "You have become very stable, not as impetuous as when you were younger, and you are willing to stop and enjoy the scenery at present." ”

In the end, this incident also caused Xiao Wu and Anan to become more and more estranged from Tai Zi, and they thought that Tai Zi and I were both high-ranking snobs. I also completely lost contact with Xiao Wu and Anan, and they directly blocked my mobile phone number, and I also went to Xiao Wu's house again, but no one answered after knocking on the door for a long time, I don't know if he is really not there, or he doesn't want to see me. Is it surprising irony that former best friends are now strangers, while friends who used to be general friends are on the same side?!

It took me a long time to gradually come out of the shadows of this incident. Among them, Ye Yuanshi's encouragement to me is the most helpful, she can always give me inspiration and encouragement when I am lonely. We also bought our first car and have been borrowing Advent cars before. I don't know how to drive myself, and Ye Yuanshi doesn't need a car very much, so I have always maintained a life without exhaust.

I don't know when I started to automatically block out those false reports related to me. It's not surprising to see your own news being hyped up in the headlines, and sometimes even ignored outright. People are constantly improving, life is still going on, and the earth is still functioning normally, and we can't always stubbornly stick to that one thing.

When chatting with Ye Yuanshi's father on this day, she learned that a week later was Ye Yuanshi's birthday, and according to her father, Ye Yuanshi basically never had a birthday. So I had the idea of surprise her, but for someone like me, who is very emotionally dull, I don't know what to do to make her shine. After being at a loss, I finally gave up on those fancy practices and switched to the simplest gifts. I personally chose a necklace for her and ordered a piece of cake. Sometimes, simple and crude, it can work wonders.

The cake was made much faster than I expected, and it was done twice as quickly as I had instructed. After leaving the company in the evening, I hurried to the cake shop. It seemed that everyone in the store knew me, and everyone smiled and had surprise in their eyes, but it really made me feel uncomfortable.

At the same time, a girl wearing a high school uniform walked in from outside the door, she was not tall, but her appearance was extraordinarily exquisite, and every facial feature could make people scrutinize it carefully for a long time. With tears in her eyes, she hurried to a seat near the corner and lay down on the table. Then another female student hurriedly walked into the store and looked around, and when she saw the girl, she trotted over and sat down across from her, holding her hand, as if comforting.

I looked away, and was about to go back with the cake when a young man walked in through the door. It's hard to tell his age from the outside, but you can see the maturity of his heart in his eyes. The man sat down next to the two girls, silently watching the girl lying on the table. Suddenly, the crying girl lying on the table suddenly stood up, she looked directly at the man with resentful eyes and said, "Don't you want me?

It's not very loud, but it's enough to reverberate around the walls in a small cake shop. I stopped to walk out the door and sat back in a nearby chair and listened to their sonorous conversation.

The crying girl was a high school student, but the man was much older than her, but he was still single. At that time, the man was transferred to the girls' school as a Chinese teacher, and the two met. The girl is very simple, and she has been in love for a long time, and she deeply likes this teacher who looks beautiful and has a mature heart. After the girl expressed her love for him, the girl who thought the other party would accept it happily received the opposite answer.

It's not that he doesn't promise her, but considering the reality of the problem, there is no way to promise her, or give any promises. The girl didn't give up and continued to follow in her footsteps with him in her heart, but the man never agreed, he couldn't cross the forbidden bridge......

I gradually understood why, but I couldn't tell right from wrong from their indirect conversations, and their stories could have been extended into countless versions of the novel. The girl was still crying aggrievedly, her voice was very pitiful, and the other people in the cake shop were also secretly paying attention to this pair of and sad men.

The man suddenly noticed my presence, looked at me sitting in the doorway, and then seemed to suddenly remember something. At the same time, the girl's questioning voice interrupted his peeking at me, and I took the opportunity to sneak out of the cake shop.

It was late when I returned to the villa, I turned on all the light sources that could be lit in one go, but I didn't see Ye Yuanshi's figure, and no one answered after shouting a few times, I began to call Ye Yuanshi's phone repeatedly anxiously, but there was only no answer. I restlessly put the application I had prepared on the table. When it was almost cleaned up, the mobile phone rang rapidly, and it was particularly loud in this large quiet space.

"It was too noisy inside just now to hear it, what's wrong?" Ye Yuanshi's crisp voice came into my ears. I felt so happy to hear her voice again, as if I had met an old friend in a foreign country.

I made up my mind: "Can you come back now? It's your birthday, and I've prepared a cake ......."

She didn't answer immediately, hesitated for a few seconds and said, "Okay, I'll go back right away!"

Hearing her firm answer, I was filled with joy and nervousness.

Soon, Ye Yuanshi returned to the villa, looked at the cake, gift box and bouquet of flowers on the table and smiled awkwardly: "You prepared this?"

I nodded, also smiling awkwardly. Ye Yuanshi looked at my embarrassed face, and hurriedly comforted: "I didn't expect you to remember my birthday, since I knew that my mother left when I was a child, I never had a birthday." She walked over to the table, looked at the two cute clowns on the cake, and smiled and said, "These two people look like you!"

Her eyes were full of emotion, her eyes were moist, she stared at the gift box on the table and asked, "Give it to me?"

I nodded my head lightly in reply. She opened the box and picked up the necklace inside, her voice trembling a little: "Do you want me to wear it myself?!"

A good horse with a good saddle, and a treasure ornament is given to a sable cicada. This necklace, which was already very outstanding, was worn around Ye Yuanshi's neck, which looked even more radiant. After putting the necklace on her, I returned to my seat, and we fell silent again.

After a while, she picked up the flowers on the table, walked up to me, hugged me and said, "I'm really happy that you did this for me...... At this point, I felt her tears running down my hair and down my neck. Then she laughed happily and teased: "You are so stupid! How can you surprise others and tell them?!"

The room was dimly lit, and Ye Yuanshi and I sat at the table, admiring the candles on the cake in a daze, watching it melt into the air little by little. We all stared at each other stupidly, as if we had something to say, but we didn't want to say anything, we just wanted to look at each other quietly......

In this house that belonged to us, I accompanied her for her twentieth birthday.
