Jiang Ruhui appeared at Zhou Jiyou's home in Beijing for the second time, Jing Qiao was not there, and the nanny opened the door.

Zhou Jiyou was tired of staying in bed all the time, but she had nothing to do, when Jiang Ruhui entered the house, she was sitting on the sofa watching TV.

A family ethics drama in the name of urban love was just playing on TV, and the heroine's evil mother-in-law yelled at her hysterically, which made her feel a little ridiculous the moment she saw Jiang Ruhui.

Jiang Ruhui's face was ugly, and her appearance shrouded this originally cloudy room with a thick layer of haze.

"Do you think you can get away with the problem by not answering my phone?" She stood outside the coffee table with a straight face, looking like Yan Mu'er was raising her face, "Feibai has already entered the board of directors, Shen Ke and the old man tore their faces and threatened not to come back, look at what stupid things you have done." ”

"I sue you, you didn't cherish the opportunity before, and now it's useless to catch up with him, you can't get by with the old man."

"Wake up, don't rush me like a calf."

She didn't stop breathing, and the noise on the TV blended with her reprimand, buzzing and puncturing Zhou Jiyou's eardrums.

If you can suddenly become deaf at this moment, the world will be quiet from now on.

The nanny aunt mopped the floor at the door of the bathroom, and secretly peeked around from time to time.

Jiang Ruhui opened the bag and threw down a card, "Leave him, there are three million here, you can use it." ”

Zhou Jiyou lowered his eyes and looked at the card in the corner of the coffee table, his shoulders trembled, and he chuckled without a smile.

When she went north to study alone, she didn't care whether she lived or died, but now because of Shen Feibai, she is willing to be generous.

Is she stained with Shen Feibai's light?

Amusing.

Touching the remote control on the side of his leg and turning off the TV, Zhou Jiyou looked at her fixedly: "Why five years?" ”

When Jiang Ruhui heard this, she was stunned imperceptibly: "What five years." ”

"You understand."

She seemed to have a look in her eyes, forcing Jiang Ruhui to look directly. Jiang Ruhui said: "If you are willing to leave for ten years or more, of course you can. ”

Zhou Jiyou smiled casually, as if he was inadvertent: "If you don't want to tell the truth, there is nothing to talk about here." ”

Jiang Ruhui saw the coldness behind her smile, and her face was angry: "You are still so self-righteous, it will not do you any good if things drag on any longer." ”

"If I don't put it off, it's good for you, right?" She raised her eyebrows slightly, and the corners of her lips were always hooked into a smile.

Jiang Ruhui has never seen such a Zhou Jiyou, when she was young, she was unruly, every expression was full of provocation, and then her temper was slightly restrained, at least she could see the shadow of the past, but now, she seems to have completely let go, fearless, and desireless.

She looked at her for a long time and smiled: "What do you want to get from the Shen family is your business, how Shen Feibai and I are my business, none of us can control anyone." ”

Jiang Ruhui: "I'm your mother!" ”

"What if I want to cut off the mother-daughter relationship with you." Zhou Jiyou's clear eyes did not contain a trace of emotion.

"What did you say?" Jiang Ruhui couldn't believe it, and the arm around her chest opened and fell down.

Zhou Jiyou sat on the sofa without moving, word by word: "I want to cut off the mother-daughter relationship with you." ”

Jiang Ruhui only felt absurd: "Have you thought about it?" ”

"I didn't think about it before I saw you, but I thought about it after seeing you."

Jiang Ruhui looked at her cold appearance, nodded and sneered: "You can do it, can you endure ......it?"

As the love gradually rose, she suddenly stared at her viciously, and raised her index finger cursingly, "Am I short for you to eat, or short for you to drink, you have tortured me for so many years, stabbing me one after another, and now you want to cut off relations with me, even if you have a dog, you have a conscience better than you!" ”

[Xiaoyou, you have no conscience. 】

Shen Ke's earlier accusation suddenly broke into his ears.

She doesn't understand, she really doesn't understand, she doesn't feel sorry for them, she just works very hard to get out of the situation, and she doesn't want to be burdened by the people and things that bother her.

They all said that she had no conscience, and they all condemned her morally, on what basis......

She no longer wants maternal love, she is dead, is it wrong?

Is it wrong for her to want to break off the mother-daughter relationship and never have to be hurt by her again?

She doesn't want everyone to love her, she just wants her to return a clear and simple world, is it wrong?

……

There will always be a time when the wounds on the body will heal, and if you are involved with the Shen family, the rift in your heart will never be repaired.

She lowered her head slightly, clenched her teeth hard, and the rest of the words took the best strength in her life to squeeze them out of her hard throat.

"What if I said that as long as you agree that we have nothing to do with each other anymore, I will leave for five years."

Jiang Ruhui was shocked, or to be precise, she had not yet been able to recover from the conditions she had prescribed.

"Would you really like to leave and never have any contact with any of them?" She couldn't trust her completely.

The rebuke just now was like an auditory hallucination, the dream was awakened by reality, and Zhou Jiyou fell deeper into the quagmire, while the person in front of him seemed to have forgotten who the person who had changed color and roared like an innocent victim before.

Zhou Jiyou's limbs were stiff, and the energy supporting his body was constantly dissipating outward, passing through the skin and pores, like a rash, and the pain was numb.

Her lips were pale, and she lowered her head and leaned her back deeper into the couch to prevent her straight waist from falling down at any moment.

"I know that the law does not recognize the severance of the relationship between biological parents and children, and the agreement is invalid, let's be simple, high-five, and no one will regret it."

His voice was soft, and he didn't seem to use much strength, but he actually used up all his strength.

She pushed Shen Feibai out of her own world.

Five-year ...... Five years can change a lot.

The vicissitudes of life, the streamer is urging, she made a bet with herself, whether she wins or loses, she admits it.

***

Fortunately, the graduate thesis and work have been handed in, otherwise, she would not have the intention to cope with it in her current state.

However, it is a pity that she has missed the time to apply for doctoral studies, and she does not know where to go after leaving Beijing, and she does not have any other detailed plans.

Shen Feibai came back the day after Jiang Ruhui left, and the wounds on her body had not healed and could not be hidden. She wasn't ready to lie anymore and simply told the situation.

There were only three or two sentences in total, and in less than a minute, Shen Feibai was silent, looking at the large scab on her arm with a grim expression.

In fact, before this, she had noticed many times that he began to exude a cold smell.

In the past, when he didn't speak, he was sullen, even if his feelings were wrong, his temperament was mild; But now, his dark eyes are often shrouded in a layer of mist, a slight dampness, revealing a bit of the coldness of an early winter morning.

At this moment, this coldness is especially great.

"A lawsuit has been filed, although the appraisal only constitutes a slight injury, but the lawyer said that this is an attempt to commit a crime, and even if the punishment is reduced in accordance with the law, he can be allowed to squat in the number for a few years." Her tone was uninhibited, "It's over, I'm fine." ”

I am fine......

"Okay."

"......" His voice was very low, but Zhou Jiyou heard it.

What's good...... She was really bad, not good, hearing him suppress and spit out such a sentence, her chest immediately deflated.

"You should sue me." The tone increased slightly, and Shen Feibai's face was solemn, "Five days, five whole days, as long as you sue me on the phone, I will rush back immediately." ”

He wasn't angry, but his voice changed as soon as he opened his mouth.

In the past five days, he has not had a good time, and he is in a state of mental tension every day. He was concerned about her, all the time. promised never to hide anything from her again, but he broke his promise.

The increasing pressure, with no room for manoeuvre before he could handle it properly, gnawed at his nerves.

And this accident, which happened after he left her alone in Beijing, undoubtedly intensified the guilt and self-blame in his heart.

I'm afraid, I'm afraid of losing her, whether I know it or not.

"I don't tell you, I just don't want you to rush back." Zhou Jiyou looked at him, "I'm fine, really." ”

Shen Feibai tried his best to breathe slowly, he hugged her, clasped her between him and the sofa, pressed his hand behind her head, and rested her chin on his shoulder.

He didn't speak, and he exuded a low ebb around him.

Zhou Jiyou felt that she understood him, and because she understood him more and more, she had never questioned him or persecuted him in the past few days.

She didn't want to say it, but she didn't want to delay.

Since the road ahead is destined to be full of thorns, why not go faster; The sooner, the closer to the end.

She slowly opened her lips: "Shen Fei white ......"

He listened, but did not squeak.

"We ...... Let's separate for now. She spoke slowly, softly, with a slight pause of two seconds in between.

The body that hugged her suddenly tensed, and he still didn't speak, but he slowly let go of her, and his dark eyes were close at hand.

The night was thick outside the glass door of the balcony, and her pale cheeks were clearly reflected in the light column of the chandelier in the living room, and her eyes were waveless: "We are temporarily separated, you take care of your side of the matter." ”

Shen Feibai's lips opened slightly, and he didn't make a sound for a long time.

The two looked at each other, and after a while, he finally found his voice: "You know everything." "Not in doubt.

The low-tide aura around him became more and more intense, Zhou Jiyou knew that it was cruel, she couldn't control the dizziness that seemed to be falling apart, her eyes were getting wet, and she couldn't help it at all.

"Shen Feibai ......" her voice trembled slightly, "Let's separate for the time being, okay......"

"Not good." Very resolute, with deep eyes, with a hint of pleading, "A little more time, and I'll figure it out." ”

"How long will it take to ......" tears were full and slipped because they couldn't load, "Shen Ke and Old Man Shen fell out, didn't he, he will only pay more attention to you, and he won't let you go." ”

"Don't cry." Fingertips wiped the tears on her face, Shen Feibai approached her, his forehead touched, his eyelashes drooped, and his voice was slightly hoarse, but it seemed to be vowing, "I will solve it, you believe me." ”

"I believe you, how long will it take, and will half a year be enough?"

He didn't say anything.

"A year? Five years? Decade? She asked hoarsely.

He couldn't give her a clear answer, his throat was dry and he was suffocating.

Worries still came after all.

He moved away from her in an instant, got up and left.

"I'll take a shower with my clothes." It's a complete gesture of avoiding listening.

"Shen Fei White ......"

The silent back paused slightly, and for a moment, as if he hadn't heard it, he stepped straight into the bedroom.

Every day after that, whenever she talked about the subject, he was like this, uncooperative and uncompromising.

They are caught in a strange circle, he is in the circle, she is outside the circle, her hand is dragged by him, she doesn't want to let go, he doesn't want to let go.

The court accepted her case in session, and after hearing the case, the judge held that the defendant Li Xingkai subjectively knew that hitting someone with a car would be fatal, but objectively carried out this act recklessly, violating the right to life of others, so his justification that he did not have the intent to kill cannot be established.

In accordance with articles 232 and 23 of the Criminal Law of the People's Republic of China, Li Xingkai was sentenced to three years' imprisonment for intentional homicide.

After the first-instance verdict was announced, Li Xingkai and his family were not satisfied and appealed.

The court ultimately dismissed the appeal and upheld the original verdict.

After Zhou Jiyou heard about it, he didn't feel anything. On the eve of graduation, she turned down a job offer from her mentor Liang Xian'an, but got an opportunity to study in the United States through his connections.

The American landscape painter gave a lecture at Columbia University, and Liang Xian'an had a close personal relationship with her, and knew that she planned to go abroad, so he recommended her to go to audit.

Suddenly, it was like pushing her out of the dark.

Before leaving, she went to Lei An's house first. She didn't say that she was just studying for a short period of time, but that she had applied to a good school in the United States and went there to study for a doctorate.

Ph.D. Student, Department of Oil Painting......

Lei An and Yang Yun looked at each other silently, they always felt that her pursuit was different from others.

As soon as Renault heard that Zhou Jiyou was going abroad, he hugged her and didn't let go, and shouted in his mouth: "I won't let you go, I won't let you go......"

Zhou Jiyou patted her on the head and said, "If you miss me, you can find me by video." ”

Renault rubbed his head on her chest, and said without a preface: "I won't miss you, so I won't let you go." ”

Lei An and Yang Yun were also reluctant in their hearts, after all, they were not mentally prepared at all. When Renault was making trouble, they didn't say a word.

Zhou Jiyou lowered his head and whispered in Renault's ear: "If you make a video call with me, Uncle Lei and Aunt Yun will definitely agree, so that you will have a lot of opportunities to secretly play with the computer." ”

Renault's heart moved, and he looked up at her, his pure eyes blinking.

Zhou Jiyou was a little funny, but he couldn't laugh.

She handed over a series of unused documents such as the real estate certificate to Lei An for safekeeping, and Lei An said: "As soon as you leave suddenly, you and Xiaobai will be separated." ”

Zhou Jiyou gritted his teeth slightly: "Uncle Lei, if Shen Feibai moves out one day, you can help me sell the house." ”

"Sell?" Yang Yun was puzzled.

Zhou Jiyou hung his head: "Well, sell it." ”

She didn't explain, Lei An and Yang Yun exchanged glances, and Yang Yun asked uneasily: "Xiaoyou, is he not happy that you went abroad, and you have a conflict?" ”

Zhou Jiyou shook his head and smiled: "No, we're fine." ”

On the last night before leaving, she was waiting for Shen Feibai to get off work downstairs on CCTV, Zhang Qi appeared before him, and when she saw her, she was really surprised, and she was stunned for a moment before she walked over.

"Waiting for Anchor Shen?" Two years of social experience have made her fade away from the youth when she first met, and her personality is still lively, but the directness in her eyes has been somewhat restrained.

Zhou Jiyou bowed slightly, as if he had said hello: "Well, have you seen him?" ”

Zhang Qi's mouth opened, and she was about to speak, when she saw that her eyes seemed to look over her shoulders to a certain place behind her, and she subconsciously turned around.

Sure enough, it was Anchor Shen who came out.

The Shen Feibai in Zhang Qi's eyes is not the same as the person in his past impression, obviously he still has that clear and modest face, but his eyes have changed, and his whole temperament has also changed.

Some time ago, I listened to a private discussion in the group, and some people said that in the past, everyone's jokes had to be weighed, but Anchor Shen could make them at will, but now no one's jokes can be made indiscriminately, and Anchor Shen's jokes need to be weighed. It's not that he's starting to get angry, it's that no one can see the change in his feelings anymore, and he gives people more and more a deep and unpredictable feeling.

Some people say that this is because of fame, impetuousness, and arrogance.

Immediately, someone retorted, he was still humble and polite, still amiable and friendly, but when he didn't speak, he would show a little coldness.

Zhang Qi silently agreed.

She felt that Anchor Shen was not only becoming more and more cold, but also becoming more and more clear.
