It was Shen Guoan, who came out of the back door of the villa and appeared in the back garden.

Zhou Jiyou's lips relaxed, Shen Ke still pressed her hands on both sides, he stared at her inch by inch, his eyes were in the dark night, highlighting a little weird.

"You don't get up yet!" She glared at him.

With the sound of approaching heavy footsteps, Shen Guoan scolded more angrily than before: "Bastard thing! ”

"Get up!" She lowered her voice, her head and hands ...... The whole body is resisting.

But it was useless, Shen Ke seemed to be settled, and he didn't move.

The footsteps were getting closer, maybe it was an illusion, maybe it wasn't, and in the afterglow, an old shadow was moving.

Shen Ke suddenly opened the corners of his mouth, and his blurred face was matched with his smile without the slightest smile, especially the strange feeling.

"Two choices. One, come back to me, I will protect you as I did at the beginning. Two, you deal with it yourself. ”

His voice was very soft, blowing into Zhou Jiyou's ears, like a wisp of yin wind.

She sneered, and the two faced off silently.

"Who did you bring home?" Shen Guoan's angry voice came closer.

"You figure out what you might face next." Shen Ke hoped that she would be afraid, but her eyes were stubborn and ruthless.

He saw her open her mouth without hesitation and preemptively attacked: "Grandpa, you have to make the decision for me." ”

When she called for help, her eyes did not move, and she stared at him coldly.

It was no longer possible to describe his mood at the moment with disappointment, Shen Ke's heart instantly emptied a hole, and this hole sank deeper and deeper, and he could hear the long-lasting blank echo.

The echo continued, but he was kicked in the abdomen, which was not enough to knock him over, but he complied, let go of her, and fell to the side.

He propped his elbows behind his back, and a dull smile appeared on his face.

Shen Guoan stood against the light, Zhou Jiyou stood up by himself, and the words were already on his lips: "Grandpa, fortunately, you-"

Smack-

A resounding slap in the face.

The exertion was so great that the hot pain swept over me, and my ears and head began to buzz.

"Shameless!" Shen Guoan's eyes were bloodshot, but due to the cover of the night, none of them paid attention, but his cold voice was as cold as ice slag, but it really showed the taste of gnashing teeth.

"I really inherited the good genes of your Zhou family, I messed around with the relationship between men and women in school when I was in middle school, after so many years, my dead nature has not changed, and I am making waves in our Shen family, what kind of heart do you have!"

This slap was not only Zhou Jiyou alone, but also Shen Ke who stood up from the ground with a grunt, and Jiang Ruhui and Aunt Lin who came not far away.

"What kind of heart do I have?" Zhou Jiyou came back to his senses, raised his head, and asked in a cold voice, "You indiscriminately charged me with a crime, what kind of heart do you have?" ”

She greeted the light with an awe-inspiring expression: "You are beating and scolding, involving genes, as if you know the Zhou family very well." I want to ask, how good are your Shen family's genes? Fish begins to rot from the head. ”

"You ——!" Shen Guoan was angry, and his big palm was raised again.

Shen Ke rushed forward to stop him, "Dad, I'm playing with her, things are not what you see." ”

"Let go!"

Shen Ke firmly shackled his raised arm, did not listen to the order, and pursed his lips.

"You don't have a long memory?" Shen Guoan's eyes widened, "I told you to let go!" ”

Shen Ke's other hand, which fell on his lap, clenched it a little, and he let go of Shen Guoan, and slapped him the left side of his face.

"Rebel!" Shen Guoan's figure shook a little, pointing at Zhou Jiyou, trembling with anger, "Get out, don't let me see you again!" ”

After speaking, he looked at Shen Ke again: "You come with me!" ”

He was the first to turn around and walk back, and when he saw Jiang Ruhui, he was tired of the house and glanced at her, and when he passed by her, his footsteps stopped.

"It's all a good daughter you taught! I don't want to see her pestering any of my sons and grandchildren anymore, so it's up to you to see what to do. A low, meaningful warning.

Jiang Ruhui lowered her head slightly, and her face turned pale.

At the same time—

"Does it hurt?"

Shen Ke raised his hand to touch her face, but Zhou Jiyou flicked his head and dodged.

"Take care of yourself." She looked indifferent.

The tip of his tongue was pressed against his cheeks, and after a little movement, Shen Ke slid his hand into his trouser pocket and smiled coldly indifferently: "What's the big deal, at most, he can't do anything to me." ”

He looked down at her, her face expressionless, or rather, numb.

"Thank you." She kept her eyes down.

"Don't thank you, who called me cheap, I can't see you being slapped again." He deliberately inflicted self-inflicted damage.

She still didn't react, and didn't even say a word.

Shen Keqiang took a deep breath, looked up at the sky, and said, "If you could endure it a little longer and accompany me to survive, we would all be different from now." ”

He walked away, and Zhou Jiyou glanced at it lightly, catching a glimpse of the stains stained on the back of his white sweater.

For her, it's the same. He and Meng Yiyi are engaged, and this alone is enough to make her die.

In less than a while, only Zhou Jiyou and Jiang Ruhui's mother and daughter were left in the entire courtyard.

Jiang Ruhui looked at Zhou Jiyou from afar.

Zhou Jiyou approached step by step and saw her eyes clearly, which were the eyes that she had been accustomed to since she was a child - resentment, disgust, wishing she could disappear immediately.

Zhou Jiyou stopped at a position half a meter away from her and did not move forward.

"Say whatever you want."

Maybe it's because the bad experience of her youth has had too deep an impact on her, just like going to the government department to do things must go through the whole process, she just met Shen Guoan, and now she is facing Jiang Ruhui, her heart is extremely peaceful.

But the turbulence hidden under this brief tranquility is estimated to be short before it explodes.

She tried to hold herself up, she tried to hold on.

Don't think that she completely offended Shen Guoan, and don't think about him telling her to get out.

She thought about Shen Feibai and what he was doing in the hospital.

"I knew that I must have owed you in my last life, and you came to me to collect debts in this life." Every word Jiang Ruhui spoke, her tone was heavy, "Don't you see me?" Are you happy if you have to make trouble for me? ”

It is rare that Zhou Jiyou did not talk back, did not fight back, and quietly taught her a lesson.

Jiang Ruhui looked at her slightly red and swollen cheeks under the light, and it was rare to break through the sky, and she didn't move angrily.

Breathing heavily, after a while, Jiang Ruhui said: "You go, see what cities you like abroad, don't stay at home." ”

Zhou Jiyou was thinking about whether Shen Feibai was chatting with Shen Xinyu or peeling apples for her, when he suddenly heard this, his heart sank, and his eyes slowly gathered.

"Why should I go abroad?" She asked word by word.

Jiang Ruhui said sharply: "Then what do you want to do?" Sometimes I really can't read you. Since you are willing to come back for Feibai, why do you have to provoke Shen Ke again? ”

She was silent for a while, and suddenly realized, "You are not willing to come back for Feibai, you are for Shen Ke." You can see that the old man attaches great importance to Shen Ke, he just uses Feibai to restrain Shen Ke, no matter how heavy Feibai he is on the surface, the group will still be inherited by Shen Ke in the future. You want to hug Shen Ke, a real big tree, so the old man mentions that you are engaged to Feibai, and you will refuse. ”

Zhou Jiyou gently recited "mother" in his heart, a word that should have been warm just by looking at Chinese characters, and he felt cold uncontrollably.

It had always been like this, and she didn't have to feel bad.

However, this kind of feeling is special and irreplaceable, and it is something that she wants to give up countless times in her heart but faintly desires.

She couldn't stop the constant pain of her nerves, just as she couldn't stop the clouds from dissipating.

She lowered her head and smiled: "You let me go abroad, for how long?" A year? Five years? Decade...... Or, for a lifetime? ”

The laughter was cold, and Jiang Ruhui couldn't help frowning: "I have no intention of deporting you." ”

"Oh? So what do you mean? She tilted her head slightly, casually lifting the corners of her eyes.

Jiang Ruhui thought for a while: "Five years." You go for five years, and after five years you want to come back, I won't care about you anymore. ”

Zhou Jiyou did not respond.

Jiang Ruhui said: "Didn't you say that you found your grandmother, I remember that she seems to be in New York, you might as well go to New York, your father used to say that he failed to fulfill his filial piety, and your grandmother is almost a handful of years old, you go and accompany her." ”

Zhou Jiyou remained silent.

Jiang Ruhui looked at her: "I will give you money regularly, you don't have to worry about living expenses." ”

The wind falls on the hair, bringing the strands to dance. The soles of Zhou Jiyou's feet were cold, and it was extremely cold.

"Mom." She shouted softly.

Jiang Ruhui looked at her and raised her head slowly, the lights near the courtyard falling into her amber eyes, like fireworks extinguishing little by little.

"When you came to my house in Beijing a few years ago, you didn't actually want me to go back to Shen's house, right?"

Jiang Ruhui froze.

"You said, if you really love him, think about him from his point of view, if you don't have him, it doesn't matter, it's better for everyone to break up early. Your focus is on the back, you want me to split up with him, don't go back to the Shen family, don't come to block you, right? ”

Two "yes" in a row, Jiang Ruhui's reaction gave a clear answer.

Zhou Jiyou also gave her answer: "I will not return to the Shen family, but I will not leave Beijing." Where to live is my freedom, I will not listen to you. ”

"Okay." Jiang Ruhui didn't force it, but made a request, "However, you can't have any more contact with Shen Ke or Feibai, you have to break off with them." ”

Zhou Jiyou's eyes were ridiculous: "What does Old Man Shen mean? ”

Jiang Ruhui said: "The beecomb you poked yourself, now it's good, you can't catch any of it." ”

Zhou Jiyou didn't have anything to say to her, she felt at a loss, she felt like a kite with a broken string, she didn't know where to fly, she didn't know if the person holding the kite could find her with the wind.

The undercurrent, which had been accumulated for a long time, broke through the last layer of the shell of strong tranquility and began to tumble violently.

She shivered uncontrollably in the cold wind.

"You're not qualified to ......," she shook her head, her eyes hot.

Jiang Ruhui didn't hear clearly, and stared at her with twisted eyebrows: "Are you tough again?" ”

She shook her head again, still very small, and it was easy to ignore without looking closely.

Nails pinched the palms of her hands, and in less than an hour, she was stimulated by waves of mental stimulation, she endured and suppressed, she raised her head and made her attitude firmly and forcefully: "None of you are qualified. ”

***

Zhou Jiyou returned to the room on the second floor alone.

She stood motionless for a moment, her mind empty, her limbs weak, and she needed to lean against the door panel behind her to support her.

She lowered her head to open the bag, took out her phone, and pressed the power button.

Dialing the familiar number, she held the earpiece close to her ear.

Bep, beep, beep, on.

"Hey." A soft, soft sound.

"Hey, what are you doing?" She stared at the wooden floor in front of her with vacant eyes, and her voice was faint, sounding bland.

"I'm peeling apples, but now it's out." Shen Feibai was over there, walked out of the ward, and gently closed the door.

You guessed it.

This is a wonderful feeling, so wonderful that the bottom of the eyes once again hit a layer of water, but the corners of the mouth unconsciously grinned.

"Oh." Her tone was still casual, "Have you had dinner?" ”

"Eat. What about you? ”

"Well, I ate it too." Actually, no.

"Call you, keep turning it off."

"Well, there's no power."

There was a pair of people who talked about it, and no one mentioned the communication between her and Shen Xinyu in the afternoon. It was as if the problem had been solved, and there was no longer even the need for reminiscence.

But Shen Feibai hesitated for a second, and still said, "I thought you would settle accounts with me." ”

Zhou Jiyou slowly squatted down along the door, "There are too many accounts, come with a pen, don't be in a hurry." ”

He suddenly stopped speaking, and was silent for five seconds.

"I'm not going back tonight."

Zhou Jiyou: "Hmm. ”

There was silence again: "I miss you, what should I do." "Take yourself a little bit of a tone that you can't help with.

Zhou Jiyou hugged his knees and sat directly on the floor.

A crystal teardrop slipped down overwhelmingly, she pursed her lips and shouted, "Shen Feibai." ”

"Huh?" Tactful and low.

She imagined him sitting in the hallway and listening.

"The small problems are gone, when will the big problems be solved?"

He didn't say anything.

"Huh?" She didn't seem to have the intention of saying, "How long?" A year? Five years? Decade? ”

"Xiaoyou......" he couldn't say, "there will always be that time." ”

Can you not wait, can you just go with me regardless of the qiē......

The tears were finally in a string, and she bit her fist and clenched it tightly, but her body couldn't help but tremble.

They are not qualified, no one is qualified......
