Lin Li broke the work in the last half hour before getting off work, and did not continue to pretend to be reserved, but sent a WeChat message to Xiao Huai with anticipation: "Where are the people? Are you back? ”

She did not receive a written reply, but received a phone call informing her that a car would take her to the restaurant.

Lin Pi felt a little strange, and then thought that Xiao Huai was a hidden man, so he didn't doubt it and got into the black Mercedes-Benz. She once put her mobile phone on silent when she was treating a patient, and forgot to turn it back after work, so she missed Xiao Huai's call.

Upon arriving at the restaurant, Lin found that it was surrounded by a sea of roses. The rose red, which conveys love, the dark blue that symbolizes waiting, and the pale pink that represents first love, all exude a fragrant and rich floral fragrance. The spiral staircase leading to the second floor is also surrounded by red roses, like a road to happiness.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Huai is a man who is calm on the outside and romantic on the inside...... Lin Li smiled at his lips, handed the coat and handbag to the store manager, and lifted the sheep's long skirt to prepare to go upstairs.

The slight sound of the heels stepping on the first staircase, like the opening note of a musical movement, is followed by a piano rondo on the second floor.

The fluttering and jumping notes flowed out from under someone's fingertips and passed to Lin Li's ears, like an auditory feast. She couldn't wait to see what Xiao Huai looked like when he played the music, and walked a few steps quickly.

The tone of the piano music suddenly sank, and the rhythm became mysterious and trembling.

Lin Li stopped.

A series of eighth notes form a wavering rhythm, revealing an unspeakable panic; Alternating strong and weak tones, showing deep sadness; The music is frequently transposed, conveying a power that tries to escape from pain.

Lin Li took small steps in such an emotional music, walked to the second floor, and walked towards the person playing the piano.

Walking up the final staircase, she saw the long figure.

Dressed in a knitted cardigan and white shirt, he sat on a piano bench and played the piano with his back to her.

The light from the bright chandelier reflected on his brow bone and the bridge of his nose, forming a faint, hazy shadow on that beautiful face. The nimble ten fingers roam the black and white keys, and the song is still immersed in a faint melancholy, but the melody is more and more soft and beautiful.

Lin Li took a few steps closer and reached out to put his hand on his shoulder: "It sounds so good." ”

The slender fingers left the keys, and the flowing music came to an abrupt end. He turned around and sighed long, "It's a lot stranger." ”

The tone was low and bland, with an indescribable melancholy. When Lin Li heard this voice, he was surprised.

Looking at that face again, her expression changed.

I thought I would never have the chance to see someone again in my life, but suddenly appeared in front of me. She had imagined countless sleepless nights of depression and sleeplessness what she would look like on this person, and what she would say to him. I've imagined countless possible scenarios, but I've never been like this now—

If you want to speak, tears will flow first.

Her eyes turned red a little because she heard the man say in a gentle voice, "Mumu, how are you?" ”

The first love, who has been in love with ten years of youth, has come out of the virtual video and audio text and appeared in front of her in front of her in real time. His face was so handsome, and his eyes looked at her with such warmth and affection, that she was in a trance, almost thinking that time had been reversed, and he was still the man who had always been in love with her back then: Ji Yunchong.

It's a pity that he has changed.

How much he loved her and how much he hated her later.

How much comfort he had brought her, how much heartbreak he had endured for her.

Unforgettable love, but fate of the person, she doesn't want to see again. Because once you meet, you will inevitably complain.

Lin Li withdrew the hand on Ji Yunchong's shoulder, turned around and left.

Ji Yunchong sat there, his eyes dimmed a lot, and his tone lowered: "Mu Mu-"

She ignored it and didn't look back.

He stopped talking, got up and just stepped away from his right leg, his figure suddenly stopped, and he frowned in pain.

Catching up with her, he saw that his beloved had already walked to the turn of the stairs, and the heart in his chest was beating fast: "Mumu, I know I'm sorry for you, but please give me a chance to make amends." ”

Hearing the words of suspected pity, Lin Li stopped his steps and turned his back to Ji Yunchong: "You are not wrong, you don't have to make up for it." ”

His eyes looked at her without blinking: "I once made you cry, it was my fault." ”

Lin Li endured and endured, but after all, he couldn't hold back his sadness, and thin tears appeared in his eyes.

Ji Yunchong's deep sigh came from behind him. The man who loved her and hurt her came over, hugged her from behind, and whispered in an apologetic tone: "Don't cry, hurt your eyes." ”

She said two words stiffly: "Let go." ”

"When I saw you, my heart melted, how could I be willing to let you go."

"Hypocrisy!"

He smiled wryly: "Yes, I am hypocritical, bastard, and I have failed you." ”

Such a low-voiced attitude of being criticized by others surprised Lin Li. But she didn't want to delve into it, so she only said: "I didn't take your money, and I rolled away according to your request, what else do you want?" ”

Ji Yunchong did not answer.

After a while, Lin Fei noticed that his ears were a little wet, and reached out to touch the corners of his slightly wet eyes.

She was slightly startled. I shed tears because I was abandoned by him. Why did he shed tears?

"You-" Lin Li paused, "what are you crying for?" ”

Still no sound.

Lin Li turned his back to Ji Yunchong, couldn't see his expression, and was suspicious in his heart: "Speak." ”

Ji Yunchong's Adam's apple slid and his dumb voice broke the silence: "I'm thinking that if I postponed the date of returning to China back then, we might be able to avoid a car accident, and my father wouldn't have suffered an accident." ”

Lin Li didn't understand, but remembered the past.

Two years ago, Ji Yunchong's father was the chairman of Dongsheng Group, and he tried to reorganize the company and restructure the original assets and liabilities to obtain the greatest economic benefits.

When Dongsheng announced the news of the reorganization, the stock price immediately rose sharply, and even doubled. Ji's father hoped that Ji Yunchong would wait until the reorganization was over before returning to China, but Ji Yunchong left his job for her and flew back to Shanghai from Munich.

She had a car accident later, and she was too busy to take care of herself, and after breaking up with Ji Yunchong, she avoided him and Dongsheng, and it was not until much later that she learned through the news that Ji's father died in a plane crash.

Remembering that the date of Ji's father's death was the same day as the car accident, Lin Li said, "Why do you say that? ”

"Before Dongsheng applied for a stock suspension, the three shareholders violated the company's articles of association and secretly reduced their shareholdings. When my father found out about the incident, he was concerned that the three shareholders were friends who had been friends for many years, so he did not immediately report it to law enforcement, but flew back to Shanghai overnight to deal with the incident. Ji Yunchong lowered his eyes, covering the surging emotions in his eyes, "Halfway through the plane, the engine suddenly lost power, and the plane was destroyed. ”

Lin Li felt incredible: "The plane will go through a detailed inspection before takeoff, and it is impossible to lose power suddenly. ”

"No matter how meticulous the examination is, it can't withstand someone's deliberate murder."

"What?"

"It was the middle of winter, and my father's flight took off 10 minutes early for no apparent reason. However, the ten minutes were missing, the oil in the fuel tank did not completely melt, the residual oil blocked the oil pipeline, and the guide plane lost power on the way. Ji Yunchong subconsciously folded his arms and hugged her tightly, as if he was drawing strength from her, "People's hearts are sinister, and they do everything in the competition for interests." ”

Lin Li's mind went blank for a few seconds when he heard these deceitful things.

After the death of their father, the three shareholders not only did not relent, but quickly sold Dongsheng's shares to obtain a huge amount of money. One of them made the most profits, so he became the chairman of Merrill Lynch. The other two are inferior, but they have also become shareholders of Pusen Pharmaceutical and Zhongxi Pharmaceutical. ”

"Because of their despicable and dirty behavior, Dongsheng's restructuring was unsuccessful, the stock price plummeted, and it was almost acquired by other companies."

Lin Li was shocked: "Does my uncle's death have anything to do with these three shareholders?" If the matter is true, you should call the police. ”

Ji Yunchong replied: "I used to be as naïve as you as I thought that I would be dealt with fairly after calling the police, but no, the case dragged on and on, and my mother and I were intimidated several times, almost ......."

Ji Yunchong didn't continue. The light reflected his eyes as deep as the sea, and gradually, those deep eyes were dyed with a lingering sadness.

"Mumu, if I said that I never betrayed your feelings, would you believe it? After my father's death, I, as the heir, encountered many dangers and obstacles in the process of taking over as a shareholder, and I was worried about dragging you down, so I hastily found a reason to break up. ”

Lin Li opened his mouth and was speechless.

In Ji Yunchong's opinion, the reason why she was silent was because she didn't believe his words.

He had to put it another way: "In the two years we have been apart, I have been silently following you. You're going to evaluate the hospital's title, and I'm secretly dredged up the leadership relationship; If you plan to run a private restaurant in partnership with a friend, I will send someone to take care of your business; You traveled to Munich at the end of last year, and I asked the airline to upgrade your seat to first class. Mu Mu, you are the only woman I have ever loved, you were and still are. ”

After hearing this, Lin Li felt quite uncomfortable.

For most of the half a year after the breakup, she was grief-stricken, often crying and sitting until dawn, not even having the courage to look in the mirror, and even in a trance, she couldn't tell the difference between day and night, and only felt that every minute and every second was extremely tormenting.

Suddenly, one day, she heard her colleagues whispering about how she racked her brains to marry a rich man and dragged down her parents, and she couldn't think of doing stupid things for a while...... The moment the blood spurted out, she suddenly realized why she should give up her precious life for those who hurt her?

Now when she heard Ji Yunchong change her words and say that she loved her and how to take care of her, she was not moved at all, she only felt ridiculous, and couldn't help but wrinkle her brows: "Okay, don't say it again." ”

Feeling her impatience, Ji Yunchong was speechless.

After more than 800 days and nights of patience, concern, and waiting, all of a sudden it became insignificant, worthless in front of her.

He had the illusion that the woman who had called him again and again, two years ago, and begged him to see her again, was very far away from him.

She doesn't love him at all?

Ji Yunchong's face changed greatly, and his arm loosened unconsciously.

Lin Li quickly slipped out of his embrace and went downstairs.

Seeing this, he hurried after her. As soon as his left foot stepped down the first step, his right knee was half-bent and his body suddenly lost his balance and fell straight down the stairs.

Lin Li heard a dull sound, glanced back, and saw a figure fall down in black—

Ji Yunchong fell down the stairs!

The moment he fell to the ground, he let out painful convulsions from the depths of his throat, his hand pressed his right knee, and his face was a little frighteningly pale.

He struggled to prop up his upper body and sit up, but the pain in his right leg was unbearable, and he fell backwards to the floor.

Lin Li was taken aback, and hurriedly held his shoulder: "Where did you fall?" ”

Cold sweat hung on his forehead, and he held back the sharp pain: "No." ”

Lin Li didn't believe it, and carefully examined his waist, back, and tail vertebrae.

Confirming that it was okay, her hands moved neatly downstream, quickly reaching his legs.

He pressed her hand: "Mumu, I'm fine." ”

The touch under the palm of her hand was really weird, and she rolled up his trousers without thinking—

A shocking scar, resembling a centipede, meandered more than a dozen centimeters across the knee joint of the right leg, up to the patella, and down to the tibia.
