"Yan Xiaoyu, where are you going to hide, and for how long?" his voice came from above her head, and she couldn't help but raise her eyes to look at him-

She had expected him to come, but she didn't expect it to come so quickly.

"Why are you here?" she bowed her head, her voice a little muffled, and the sun was just right on the streets of New York at three o'clock in the afternoon.

He didn't answer her, but he took her with his long arms and hugged her tightly in his arms, as if he wanted to rub her into his own body.

"Don't leave me again. His voice was cold and domineering, her ears were a little hot, and suddenly, as if she had thought of something, she pushed him away slightly and asked, "Those arrears ......"

"I've already paid it back. ”

"Oooh. Yan Xiaoyu buried his head in his chest, but he was thinking in his heart, when he was making the bill, did he press a few more zeros with his hand shaking?

Anyway, it doesn't matter if someone has money......

This time she decided to go abroad after discussing with Qiao Nuan, and she almost climbed into his bed on impulse last night, but at the last second, she regretted it, what she wanted was this person's heart, not a casual body.

Qiao Nuan gave her an idea to let her escape, this is a trick to get away with it, Qiao Nuan is very familiar with this when she hooks up with men.

"Why lie to me?" his voice rang in her ears, low and dangerous.

Her mind "boomed...... Lie to him? Is she already ...... Exposed?!

"I, what are you lying about?" Yan Xiaoyu pulled away from his embrace, his round eyes widened and looked at him, trying to pretend to be pitiful, but failed.

"Well, see for yourself. He brought two thin pieces of paper to her, both of which were her works, but one was a sketch she had drawn in the design department, and the other was a drawing she had drawn in the room of the Mu Mansion.

The two paintings in his hand are signed in the lower right corner, which is really Yan Xiaoyu's English name, "Lina".

"Hehe, this painting is mine, the other one, I don't know, it may be someone with the same name and surname as me~" Yan Xiaoyu opened her eyes and said nonsense, originally planned to go abroad according to Qiao Nuan's words and wait for him to come to him, and then sell him miserably and pretend to be pitiful and say that he was forced to repay his debts or something, by the way, play with him in the United States, recall the days they used to be together, and cultivate a relationship, but I didn't expect her identity to be revealed like this......

"Yan Xiaoyu, are you challenging my ability to distinguish handwriting, or are you challenging my IQ?" Mu Tingchen approached her, the heat he brought out when he spoke hit her cheeks and neck, Yan Xiaoyu shrank his head weakly.

Mu Tingchen did not study business, he studied design when he was in college, not to mention that even if he did not study design, those two paintings, anyone with a discerning eye can see that they are from the hand of one person, the traces of the two paintings are exactly the same, the signature in the lower right corner, the details are also exactly the same, the two paintings coincide, and the two signatures are almost the same.

"I ......" Yan Xiaoyu was beating a small drum in her heart, she was exposed so quickly, so she was going to start her own road of whitewashing?

"Why did you lie to me?" he asked again, his dark eyes looking directly into her eyes, his eyes containing a little inquiry, and a little hidden in the depths, a faint joy.

"I saw the engagement news from your old man at the time, and my brain came back as soon as it was hot. Yan Xiaoyu said sullenly.

"So what you said about being in debt and being forced to fall into the wind and moon by life is all a lie to me. Mu Tingchen's breathing was a little more dangerous, his good-looking eyebrows frowned slightly, and his eyes locked on her tightly.

"Hmm. ”

"Then what is your relationship with Yan Fei and Lu Jingnian?" There was a little arc on his lips arrogantly, but he was unwilling to stretch out that arc, so he looked at her condescendingly, waiting for her to confess herself.

"Yan Fei is my brother, and Lu Jingnian is my friend. Yan Xiaoyu confessed one by one, she knew that Mu Tingchen had found out that she was lying to him, even if she didn't tell the truth, he would still be able to find out her information, and when the time came, it would be a little too ugly to passively admit it......

"What the hell did you want to do when you came back?" he didn't seem satisfied with her explanation, and continued to ask her.

Yan Xiaoyu was speechless for a while, what did she want to do, she wanted to snatch back the person who was supposed to stand side by side with her, but there was always a huge contrast between reality and fantasy.

"I came back just to want to stay with you a few more days. Her voice was soft, but every word fell clearly in his ears.

Fortunately, he didn't ask any more questions, and he gently took her head into his arms, gently rubbing her hair.

He understands, she still has him in her heart, Yan Fei is her brother, she is the second miss of the Yan family, but her life by his side is so humble, humble enough to bear his strange gaze, saying that she is a woman who takes money to do things in Fengyue place, so humble that she cooks food for him in a different way, busy in and out like a nanny, humble enough to wear two hats, and is still working in the middle of the night every day.

She is a real princess, but for him, she is willing to leave all her pride behind.

His arms were very generous, and he easily wrapped her in, and there was the fragrance of plants and trees in his arms, which was the usual smell of his body, and she remembered it since she was in college, and this familiar smell has not changed.

She suddenly felt the urge to cry, she thought that if she told him this, he would tell her the real reason for breaking up with her, but no, he didn't explain anything, just hugged her, the sun shining behind her, warm.

If time would stop, then stop at this moment, the sunlight stretched the shadows of the two of them and merged together, and she shrank a little deeper into his arms, and he embraced her.

"Don't you have anything you want to explain to me?" she looked up unwillingly, and in a few days, it would be the time of his engagement.

His gaze dodged, her eyes were so clear that the expectation in them was about to overflow, but he hadn't yet determined his heart.

"It's all in the past. He said this as if comforting himself, and his words fell on her ears, but they were a kind of rejection, a rejection of her expectations.

There was a silence for a while, she didn't speak, there were five long years between them, there were too many things that could happen in these five years, and when she came back, she was not 100% sure.

After a few minutes, she stuck her head out of his embrace, "Let's go." ”

"I'm hungry and want to eat something delicious~" Her voice regained her usual sunshine and confidence, but when she was inadvertent, she still revealed a little sadness and melancholy.

Mu Tingchen took her hand, on the street of a foreign country, he held her, as if she was a child who would be lost at any time, he looked down at her dotingly, saw her hair dyed golden in the sun, and then looked at the shadow of the two people who were very close.

When she almost noticed him looking at her, he turned his head solemnly, intently looking at the road in front of him.

"Tingchen, you are going to get engaged when you go back to China, I want to give you a gift. She pursed her lips with a nonchalant smile on her face, although her voice almost trembled when she said the word "engaged."

He is going to be someone else's husband, and he will be someone else's father in the future, and all this has nothing to do with her, if he still chooses to be engaged to Lin Wan, then she can only leave, leave him, return to the life she should have, still be her Miss Yan, still chase her design dreams, draw a lot of beautiful pictures, go to every corner of the world that she has not been to, and then leave a lot of valuable experiences and memories.

He was stunned for a moment when he heard her say the gift, her deer-like smart eyes flashed in front of his eyes, when they were still together in college, she said, "Tingchen, when you get married, I want to give you a gift!"

He asked her what he wanted to give him, and she smiled mysteriously, "You'll know then." ”

At this moment, he also asked her with great interest, "What gift?"

She tilted her head and said, "You'll know when the time comes." ”

How similar, it's just that things are right and wrong, he didn't ask any more, and the atmosphere between the two of them quietly cooled down.

"Yes, yes, this is it, this restaurant is delicious!" Yan Xiaoyu pulled Mu Tingchen into an Italian restaurant, "The seafood in this place is very distinctive, you must try it." ”

The decadence on her face just now was swept away, and it was really a snack that lit up when she saw the real thing, Mu Tingchen smiled.

Yan Xiaoyu didn't even need a menu, he directly ordered a few signature dishes in the store, and then brought himself a vegetable salad.

The two of them drank pre-dinner drinks, and he asked her, "How have you been in the past few years?"

She looked at the slanting sunset outside the floor-to-ceiling window, squinted her eyes, and said with a smile, "I'm very good~ I have been going to school in the United States for the past few years, studying design, and I have won a few big awards! I am also very popular in school, let me tell you, there are many people chasing me, you can go around the playground three times!"

Her smug little appearance was the same as before, and he lowered his eyes.

"What about you, how are you doing?" she asked.

"I'm not having a good time, it's not good. His voice was low, and he didn't look at her when he spoke, but she could feel the depression in him.

Originally, he just politely replied, the kind of "I'mfine, and you" like a conversation, but I didn't expect his answer to be like this.

She didn't know what to say for a while, she didn't know why he was having a bad time, probably because of their breakup, probably because of her departure, maybe because of something else.

Finally, the dish came up, breaking the embarrassment between the two people, and Yan Xiaoyu let out a long breath.
