Sitting alone on the edge of the bed barefoot.

In the empty room, the cold light illuminates every corner.

The air seemed to be filled with a suffocating silence and coldness.

She lowered her head, letting her long black hair slide down her shoulders, and her red, swollen eyes seemed to be staring intently at the phone she was holding behind her lap.

The slender and slender palm covers the back of the phone, and a faint green tendon is faintly revealed on the back of the white hand.

In the overhead light, the rest of the phone's back case is exposed with a dazzling silver sheen.

And in contrast to this shining luster, the look in her low-hidden eyes became more and more dim.

A face that was usually very delicate seemed to have completely lost its blood color at this time, and it was a little indescribably pale.

She has been in this position for half an hour.

Half an hour ago, after sending that last text message to that person, she quickly covered her phone on her folded legs and covered it with her hands.

Like, for fear of seeing some reply that would really break her down.

However......

Half an hour passed.

In fact, the prompt for replying to the text message did not ring as she expected.

It wasn't until just now, in the trance of her thoughts, that she suddenly remembered.

Yes.

The person before, in order to avoid himself, had already turned off his mobile phone.

So...... How could there be any reply?

……

……

……

“……？”

Suddenly, her lowered head moved.

In the shadow of the black hair that fell down, the red and swollen eyes blinked twice in a daze.

Immediately, the slender eyebrows subconsciously frowned, and a trace of doubt involuntarily appeared on the slightly pale face.

It seems that something is being heard.

He didn't speak, but listened quietly for a while.

After a while.

“…… Bite...... Dingdong ......"

Finally, a faint voice came from the living room outside the door.

It's the sound of an electronic doorbell.

Habitually twisting her brow, she pursed her lips and turned her head away, glancing at herself reflected in the mirror in the direction of the dressing table from a distance.

Putting aside this more boyish long-sleeved pajamas, the black hair that was scattered over his shoulders was frighteningly red, his black eyes looked a little hollow, and his cheeks were not bloody.

At this moment, she looks really haggard, and she can't see people at all.

However, after sitting on the edge of the bed and hesitating for a while, she bit her lip, took a deep breath, and stood up to open the door.

Although things eventually turned out to be like this, when she participated in the audition for "The Producer" before, she had already promised Song Qian that she would not close herself off like she did some time ago.

I am afraid that the only people who can find their own home so late are the people from the company.

Although she didn't know what happened and didn't call her directly, no matter what, she couldn't be as willful as before and chose to ignore it.

It's just that when she stepped on her slippers, walked absentmindedly to the side of the door of the house, and turned on the video intercom of the electronic doorbell, the whole person couldn't help but widen her eyes instantly.

Breathe...... It's like it's stopped.

He......

He, he......

……

"Still not open?"

A cold and familiar voice came out through the walkie-talkie, and it came into the ears as if it were ethereal, making the sluggish Zheng Xiujing wake up and come back to her senses.

There was a faint indifference in his tone, but it was certainly not a surprise to him.

The only thing that's a little strange is that he uses English.

A slightly peculiar English language.

But at this time, Zheng Xiujing couldn't take care of a lot.

Almost as a conditioned reflex, at the same time as hearing the person's voice, the hand couldn't wait to press the button to unlock the electronic door lock.

"Di Lili—"

"Smack!"

In a burst of electronic unlocking sounds, the lock of the gate opened.

Zheng Xiujing pursed her lips tightly, took a deep breath, stretched out her hand solemnly, grabbed the cold metal doorknob, and slowly opened the door.

As the door opened, the slender figure standing outside the door gradually came into her sight, and her breathing became more and more rapid.

That's right...... Really, it's really him!

Although, at this time, he showed a strange image in front of himself that he had never seen before-

A pure white blazer that he had never seen before was neatly draped in the crook of his arm, holding a long cane strangely in his hand, still wearing a neatly ironed white shirt on the upper body, a pair of straight white suit pants on the lower body, and even the leather shoes on his feet were white.

If it were an ordinary person wearing such an outfit, it would be difficult to control, but if it was placed on him, it would be completely different.

The tall and well-proportioned figure is like a natural hanger, which well supports such a pure white style gentleman's outfit.

The handsome face is combed into a three-seven-point slanted back hairstyle, which sets off a different kind of handsome and dignified.

Feel...... It's like you've just been to some kind of big dinner.

Banquet.

Thinking of this, her thoughts seemed to suddenly think of some not-so-good things circulating in the circle in private, and her soft brows couldn't help frowning imperceptibly.

But as soon as her gaze touched the excessively calm deep black eyes in front of her, her red lips squirmed a few times, and she immediately bit timidly, unconsciously lowered her head, and set her eyes on the cane in his hand.

Then he hesitated for a long time before he whispered like a small animal, "You...... Did you do anything before? This outfit is ......."

"Tuk, tuk!"

"Alright, don't waste time-"

Without warning, without waiting for her to finish her sentence, the cane in his hand, which he had thought to be just some ornament, struck twice rhythmically on the ground.

It's not loud, but it's exceptionally crisp.

Immediately after, the familiar voice with a little cold came into her ears again, making her ...... Stunned!

"Originally, it was the least efficient option to come to the door in person, but considering what that guy said to you on the phone before, I simply took the trouble and came over in person. To put it simply, there's only one question, do you really like me?"

“……”

A pair of eyes with a little red eye circles widened slightly, looking moist and moist, very beautiful and cute.

My mind was a little confused for a while.

Didn't expect it at all...... He would ask such a direct question.

That guy, who is that guy? And this stance...... What's going on?

In an instant, many questions and thoughts flashed through my mind.

But despite this, looking at the handsome face in front of her that seemed to be a little different from usual, she still subconsciously took a deep breath and blurted out almost without thinking:

"Yes! I ...... I like you!!"

In the middle of the night, near the wee hours of the morning, her resounding voice seemed to reverberate in the air above the gate of her house.

“……”

Hearing such an answer, he fell silent, but the calm expression on his face did not change in the slightest, but slightly narrowed the pair of black eyes that seemed to be clearer in the night, making the heart in the chest beat nervously and quietly staring at himself for a while.

Then, he raised his hand and touched his chin habitually, as if thinking for a moment, and gently bowed his head.

"Hmm...... Let's start over. ”

“……”

"Knock knock! knock knock......

In a flash.

She seemed to have heard her own heartbeat!

"Tuk, tuk. ”

The sound of the tip of the staff tapping on the ground slowly spread.

It's like breaking the silence and coldness of the night.

His voice showed a faint majesty in the calm.

"It's just a lie, and it's not a deserved fault that you're acting too humbly in front of that guy.

But since you want to start over, I'll promise you.

All the things that happened before you and the guy, or rather, with 'me', are all canceled.

Nothing ever happened between you, nothing childish pretending to be a girlfriend, no lies and tears.

Let's try it and see if you can capture the relationship you want. ”

The voice fell.

He didn't look at Zheng Xiujing's reaction again, and turned around with his cane without any delay, as if he was about to leave.

"Wait, wait!"

A hurried female voice came from behind him, but his somewhat limping steps did not mean to stop in the slightest.

However, when I was about to walk in front of a Bentley quietly parked under a tree on the side of the road, while my footsteps did not stop, the faint sound drifted over again with the light breeze that seemed to be slightly warmer in the night.

"By the way, in the future, no matter who you are in front of, even if that person is 'me', don't bow your head when you speak, no one in this world is worthy of you. ”

The whole person stood at the door of the house in a daze, until she saw the slender figure in pure white pull the car door and sit up, she opened her eyes wide, and couldn't help but raise her hands to gently cover her mouth, and slowly squatted down.

……

"Ahhh

“Yes！Yes！YesYesYes！！”

Listening to the familiar female voice of joy and excitement that suddenly came into the car, I felt that the girl's voice even had a little uncontrollable light trembling, and the expressions of several people sitting in the car seemed to have changed slightly.

"Meow~~"

The little black cat, who has always been very cold, rubbed his head on the leg of the white suit pants very gently, looking very intimate and attached to the little look.

"Drive home. ”

The waist bar unconsciously straightened up a little, listening to the calm and cold young male voice coming to his ears from the back seat of the car, the driver sitting in the driver's seat bowed his head very respectfully in the rearview mirror, and replied while starting the car: "Yes...... Boss。 ”

“…… Why are you in such a hurry? Just ...... Your move to come directly to the door just now is too dangerous, and it may not be possible that there are any reporters nearby. ”

He hesitated for a long time.

As if to break the uncomfortable silence in the carriage, the petite figure sitting on the other side of the back seat pursed his lips and suddenly said something as if he were cautious.

In addition to the cotton pajamas she wore at home, she also wore a thick coat on the outside.

Originally, she didn't want to wear it like this before going out, it didn't feel very convenient.

But under the calm gaze of this man, she quickly and honestly chose to compromise.

As now, she seems to ...... I was a little scared of the man who was sitting next to me at this moment.

Even if he and "that person" are theoretically the same person!

"Knock, knock......"

"My plan has failed before, which means there's a limit to how long I can occupy that guy's body. I'm here to settle the matter of your two sisters, and there's no time to waste. ”

The cane in his hand tapped the carpet in the car with a little rhythmic sound, making a muffled sound.

He didn't seem to notice Zheng Xiuyan's cautious tone when talking to him, and his lips opened and closed slightly as he turned his head to quietly stare at the lights that flashed by like a glimpse of light outside the car window.

In the clusters of light that flickered by, his somewhat sickly white handsome face and dark eyes seemed to show even more indifference and confusion.

After hearing his answer, Zheng Xiuyan looked down at the slippers she wore from home on her feet, took a slight breath, hesitated, and whispered, "Hmm...... Thank you for that, OPPA. ”

She said this with the intention of easing the stiff atmosphere between them at the moment.

What I didn't expect was that after hearing her say this, the slender figure sitting beside her at this time replied faintly:

"Don't force yourself to pretend to be close, I know you don't think much of me compared to that guy. ”

Suddenly, as if she had been poked in her true mind, in the dim carriage, Zheng Xiuyan's face changed slightly, and she bit her lip and fell silent.

"I'm curious about one thing, are you really- have any mental barriers?"

Suddenly, he turned his head and asked a heart-pounding sentence with a faint gaze.

But just as Zheng Xiuyan clenched her hands in an instant, she heard the cold and calm young male voice continue: "Forget it, I don't care about this kind of thing anyway." ”

Suddenly, I felt a sense of relief in my heart for no reason.

But immediately, her breathing immediately became rapid with the words of the man next to her at this time!

"I didn't promise Krystal a direct relationship, I just gave her a fair chance.

In the same way, I will give you this opportunity.

Anyway, both of you sisters like that guy, and whoever I choose, my mother will probably blame me, so I'll just let the two of you decide for yourself. ”

Ignoring the sudden change in the face of a certain girl hidden in the dark, his tone seemed a little lazy, but in the laziness there was a kind of domineering.

"Besides, the guy you like will probably be back tomorrow, and this time, even if he is sluggish, he should be aware of my existence.

You pass a word to him for me, if he dares to interfere with the decision I made tonight, as he can see, although I have failed once before, it is not yet known who is in charge of this body. ”

Suddenly, my heart jumped!

Teeth clenched into her tender lips, and she took a deep breath and nodded slightly.

"Uh-huh, got it...... OPPA。 ”

……
