* Apartment, nine o'clock in the evening.

When Yuan Ziwen dragged his tired body back home, there were already thousands of lights in the old building community. She habitually looked up and found that the windows of her house were shining with a warm orange light.

She knew that Bai Chen was coming.

A relieved smile appeared on his haggard face, and it felt good that someone was waiting for him to come home.

Without waiting for her to take out the key, Bai Chen took the initiative to open the door to greet her, "You are finally back." ”

I haven't seen him for a few days, but he has cut his hair short and looks much cleaner and fresher.

"Why didn't you call me in advance when you came over today?"

Yuan Ziwen was still changing her slippers, so Bai Chen gently wrapped his arms around her waist from behind and put his chin on her shoulder, "I miss you." ”

Yuan Zi Wen's face turned red suddenly, and his warm breath caressed her neck, allowing her cold body to gradually warm up.

She turned around and looked at Bai Chen's beautiful face, remembering that Su Lishang had said that men with peach blossom eyes were unreliable. But Yuan Ziwen liked his eyes, and his smile was quite childish.

Tonight's Bai Chen was particularly gentle, he reached out and stroked a strand of messy long hair behind Yuan Ziwen's ear, and asked pityingly, "Are you tired, you painted all night last night, right?" ”

Yuan Ziwen nodded, his face involuntarily darkened, "The serial has been cut in half, and it has been ranked last for three consecutive weeks, and the magazine said that it doesn't need my drawings for the time being." ”

"That's because the readers have no eyes, and you don't know how to appreciate your paintings so beautifully."

"Bai Chen, do you think I'm a failure?" Yuan Ziwen tried to relax his expression, but his voice trembled a little.

Bai Chen paused, and then showed a sassuring smile, "Don't think about it so much, take a bath before eating." ”

Yuan Ziwen came to the living room to eat after taking a bath, and several home-cooked dishes looked like they were all good, and she was a little surprised that this was from Bai Chen's hand.

"You did it?"

"I've been studying for a long time, and I don't know if it's good or not." Bai Chen said a little embarrassed.

When Yuan Ziwen first met him, he was still the small owner of a coffee shop, pampered since he was a child, and his ten fingers did not touch the spring water.

Yuan Ziwen picked up a piece of pork ribs and tasted it, "It tastes good." ”

Bai Chen was quite proud, "Then how about I make it for you every day in the future?" ”

Primordial Seed Wen shuddered in his heart and raised his head vigilantly.

Bai Chen was sitting precariously, he had been looking for an opportunity to brew this sentence all night, he said, "Zi Wen, let's get married." ”

In all fairness, Yuan Ziwen was very moved, not every woman can wait for the marriage proposal confession of her beloved man like her. But she didn't answer, just quietly put down her chopsticks.

Bai Chen immediately added, "I have borrowed money from my friends, and I will buy you a ring tomorrow, and I can buy you whatever you want." ”

"It's not about the ring." Yuan Ziwen looked at him, and his expression became complicated.

"I'm having nothing now, and I can't shelter you from the wind and rain like I used to, but I'm still young and have opportunities......"

"Bai Chen, let's not talk about this yet, okay?" Yuan Ziwen interrupted him.

"Why are you like this every time you mention getting married? I know you're definitely not a person who hates the poor and loves the rich. But we've been together for four years, and sooner or later we're going to get married. Bai Chen did not give up.

"I don't understand."

"Don't understand what?"

"I don't understand why the relationship between two people should be swayed by a marriage letter, and it should be inexplicably mixed into the two families. These are just tricks for others to see, and marriage is not necessarily because of love. ”

Yuan Ziwen's tone unconsciously became agitated, "And I said that I don't want to be disrupted by anything and add pressure to myself before I am recognized." ”

"Marrying me is disrupting your steps?" Bai Chen laughed dryly, his eyes turned cold.

Yuan Ziwen realized that he had lost his words, so he softened his attitude, "You also know that drawing comics is my long-term dream, no matter how much I pay, I will not give up, I still need time." Bai Chen, isn't it good that we are like this now? Why do you have to rush to get married? ”

"Originally, I didn't want to say," Bai Chen stared at her face motionlessly, "Zi Wen, when will you be able to face reality?" You're not young anymore, don't spend your time and energy daydreaming, okay? ”

The feeling of burnout hit again, and Yuan Ziwen reluctantly said, "Can you eat first?" ”

Bai Chen was a little angry, "After all, you still think I can't afford to support you, right?" What dreams, what fears of marriage, are just excuses! ”

Yuan Ziwen felt that the conversation was no longer able to continue, she stood up and gave the order to evict the customer, "I have to get up early tomorrow to go to work, you can go first." ”

Bai Chen grabbed her arm, his strength was amazing, "What are you afraid of?" ”

"I didn't."

"Are all of you so neurotic, sometimes I feel like you're living in another world!"

Yuan Ziwen's body suddenly stiffened, and familiar words echoed in her mind, eroding her reason from the heart.

She shook off his hand, leaving no room in her words, "Bai Chen, if you force me like this again, don't come to me in the future." ”

After saying that, he strode into the bedroom and closed the door heavily.

Bai Chen sat at the dining table for a long time in frustration, tonight's marriage proposal was really hasty, but it was also a last resort.

Recently, he has been preparing for the opening of a new store, tearing down the west wall to make up the east wall. Bai Chen is a person who can't endure hardship, he wants to get rid of this down-and-out dilemma too much, but at this time, he met Sister Weiwei.

Sister Wei Wei is a regular customer of the former coffee shop, and she is five years older than Bai Chen. Adults don't need to be provocative, and the back and forth of a few glasses of wine has hinted at the meaning of the water. Sister Weiwei can provide Bai Chen with funds and connections, but she can't tolerate another woman's savings.

She gave Bai Chen a week to think about it, and today was the deadline.

Bai Chen knew that Yuan Ziwen was gentle and obedient on the surface, but she was unusually stubborn and persistent in her bones, she had her own world, and he always stopped here and was not allowed to enter. She made him suffer from gains and losses, and she also made him uneasy. So he was in a hurry to propose, hoping that Yuan Ziwen could give him a reassurance.

In the past four years, they have had a cold war several times because of the issue of marriage, and each time they reconciled, they pretended to be nothing and kept silent. But Bai Chen knew that their problems had never been solved.

He was really tired, perhaps, he just didn't want to live a poor life anymore.

Bai Chen walked to the bedroom door and walked in when he saw that the door was unlocked. He stared at her sleeping face, like a child, his mouth slightly open, and his innocent expression.

With a soft pain in his heart, he couldn't help but reach out and touch her hair. This is probably the last time, right? Bai Chen knows that he is very selfish, but the reality is also cruel.

"Seed Wen, sooner or later you will understand that dreams are just dreams."

Yuan Ziwen suddenly woke up in the middle of the night, only to feel a cold sweat. She sat up straight and looked around, the room was as silent as death, but there was still a familiar breath of Bai Chen on the pillow.

She searched all over the house, but she didn't see Bai Chen. Back in the bedroom, I found a letter and a car key on the table. As soon as I looked at the first few lines, it was as if a steel knife had been pierced into my chest, and I couldn't breathe in pain.

Yuan Ziwen threw down the letter, put on his clothes and rushed out of the house. Sure enough, Bai Chen's Jetta was parked in the community, the only property he left to Yuan Ziwen.

Yuan Ziwen drove straight to Bai Chen's apartment, and kept calling all the way to turn off his phone. No one answered the knock on the door, and was chased away by angry neighbors.

She sat back in the car with a sluggish expression, her throat seemed to be clogged with cotton wool, and she couldn't cry even if she wanted to. She thought back to the words in the letter over and over again, and couldn't believe that Bai Chen had disappeared from her world.

Ever since she had even stepped out of the college campus, she had been in love with this man. Closing his eyes, countless bits and pieces about Bai Chen fell overwhelmingly, almost crushing the original seed temperature.

The remorse in my heart is like a knife, isn't it just getting married, what's the big deal? Why do you have to say it so decisively?

In a trance, Yuan Ziwen drove the car aimlessly onto the road, and there were green flies flying in front of him, completely unaware of the changes in the surrounding scenery.

By the time she realized it, there was an unasphalted dirt road beneath her feet, overgrown with weeds and pitch black.

She was just about to turn around when a loud bang came from behind her, and the powerful impact caused Yuan Ziwen's back to slam against the back of the seat. Unconscious, she poked her head out of the window in horror to see an Audi R8 chasing her car. Several young men laughed and whistled into the sky.

She couldn't help but be furious and jumped out of the car to reason with them. As soon as he got out of the car, he was surrounded by this group of people, all with crimson cheeks and a strong smell of alcohol.

"Beauty, you don't look at the point when you reverse? Crashing my car is going to cost you money. The man driving laughed and poked his hand at Yuan Ziwen's shoulder.

Yuan Ziwen vigorously brushed his hand away, and said coldly: "Obviously you bumped into it yourself, don't think that you can talk nonsense without a camera here." I'll call the police now and let the traffic police deal with it. ”

As soon as she took out her phone, another man snatched it and threw it on the ground.

"What are you doing?" Raw Seed Wen realized that the situation was not good.

"Don't be so troublesome, the girl who called tonight will release our pigeons, and you won't have to lose money if you accompany us."

Yuan Zi Wen suddenly surged with blood, and today's unhappiness had tormented her to the point of physical and mental exhaustion, and at this moment, she had a violent urge to ruin her.

She said, "Do you think women want to go crazy?" How much money is there? What the hell don't you look in the mirror to see what virtues you have? ”

As soon as the words fell, a slap fell on the face, and half of the face instantly ached.

The original seed was warm and gritted his teeth, and the feelings were completely out of control. She got back into the car, turned around, kicked the accelerator, and drove past the man who hit her.

Everyone hurriedly shouted and dodged, and Yuan Ziwen drove the car into a flood beast, and did not stop until the hood of the Audi R8 was smashed into shape.

"I'll rub!" The shouting and scolding rang out angrily, and several men rushed over one after another, opened the car door and dragged Yuan Ziwen out.

Without saying a word, Yuan Zi Wen grabbed the wrist of one of them and bit it down with all his might. The man screamed in pain, and hammered his elbow on Yuan Ziwen's back, and his strength was not trivial. Tears burst out of her eyes in an instant, but her teeth seemed to be embedded in the flesh and blood of the other party, and she still refused to let go.

The sound of the engine suddenly sounded in her ears, and Yuan Ziwen only felt that her eyes were bright white, and she swept towards her face like a knife.

The black Bentley braked sharply and stopped less than a meter away from the crowd. I only heard the "clang" of the car door, and a man stepped out of the car.
