As soon as these words came out, He Chuchen was stunned for the first time, and then heard Xia Linchen continue: "Miss He, I guess you also don't agree with this marriage between the Xia and He families. ”

He paused, and then said, "Or is it me who chose the wrong person?" ”

He Chuchen, who was told to be in her heart, pursed her lips and didn't speak, although she was angry with Xia Yun's deep deception, she still liked him in the end. If it is to be engaged to Xia Yunshen, then she will definitely approve of it.

If she wants to get Xia Yunshen, she must first get close to him, his work and life are far enough away from her, if she can tie him up with her identity first, and then slowly figure him out, it would not be a good thing.

He Chuchen looked at the person in front of him with scrutinizing eyes again.

The man's thin lips opened and closed, and one after another seductive words came out of his mouth.

"You are still young, and there is still the possibility of being with the person you love deeply, even if you are an uncle of mine, you have the right to true love." Xia Linchen was facing He Chuchen, his words were not hurried, and his words were clear, he knew that He Chuchen would definitely agree to him.

It's not the first time he's seen such a stubborn girl, he refuses to listen to the life arranged by his parents, and firmly believes in the path he chose.

Thinking of this, his eyebrows and eyes suddenly dimmed, and he stopped talking.

He Chuchen felt that Xia Linchen was really a strange person, and his eyes were unfocused, but for no reason, she felt that he was extremely sincere.

After weighing the pros and cons, collaboration may be a good option.

"Okay, I promise you, what do you want me to do?"

***

"First of all, you're going to disappear from here."

He Chuchen sneezed, cursing the Xia family up and down in his heart. She had escaped from the hotel in a light dress, her teeth chattering from the cold, and she had no idea where to go. She had no friends, and it was difficult for her to find a place to hide.

She looked through the handbag that He Mu stuffed into her in the morning, there was a small amount of cash, and the bad thing was that the ID card was not there, but fortunately there was a mobile phone.

He Chuchen fled, Father He was shocked, Xia Shibang's face was extremely ugly, and he ordered the bodyguards to find her.

Naturally, no one remembered to take care of Xia Linchen, the lounge he was in was located in the corner of the second floor of the hotel wing, and if no one took it, he would definitely not be able to go out by himself.

Zhong Yi waited in the banquet hall with his parents and brother for a long time, and they didn't see the ceremony start, judging from the panicked actions of the person in charge, something probably happened.

When Zhong Yi was still guessing, he received a call from He Chuchen.

A little surprised and embarrassed look appeared between her eyebrows, and after hanging up the phone, she pressed her eyebrows and whispered in Zhong Yaoyang's ear: "Brother, I have something urgent, can I go first?" ”

Before the engagement banquet started, Zhong Xiang had to leave the venue first, and it would definitely be difficult to explain to his parents. Zhong Yaoyang should have stopped her, but seeing her anxious appearance, he still touched her hair dotingly.

"Go ahead, don't worry, brother will cover for you."

Zhong Yi carried the hem of his skirt and hurriedly walked out of the banquet hall, and according to what He Chuchen said, he turned around and ran to the side building of the hotel.

She was wearing a plain white dress that mopped the floor today, and it was not convenient to trot at all, but there was no way, she was entrusted by others, and she had to be loyal.

When he came to the room mentioned by He Chuchen, there was no one around, the door was open, and Zhong Yi gently pushed it open.

The room is not large, you can see it all at a glance, and a slender figure stands in front of the window.

He had the light on his back, and he couldn't see his look, but there was an infinite loneliness that surrounded him and encircled him tightly.

At that moment, Zhong Yi gave birth to a pride in vain, wanting to pull him out of the abyss of loneliness.

"Xia Linchen, follow me." Zhong Yi tied a loose knot in her skirt so that it could not hinder her movements, and then took Xia Linchen's hand without saying a word, avoided the bodyguards, and walked out of the back door of the hotel until the noisy and lively street.

"Favored?" Xia Linchen let her lead, did not resist, and did not shake back.

Her hands were small, soft, and conveyed a warm temperature.

"Well, where are we going next?" Zhongyi dragged him to a less crowded area, the two of them were so conspicuously dressed, and then she untied the knot in the hem of her skirt and smoothed out the folds with all her might.

"I don't know." Xia Linchen lowered his eyelashes, and a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth, "You decide, it's okay anywhere." ”

Zhong Yi grabbed his hair irritably, and said to himself, "If you two are not crazy, I am crazy." ”

She couldn't believe it, she escaped with Xia Linchen like this, knowing that it would bring big trouble to the family afterwards, but she did it without hesitation as if she was confused.

Looking up at the man's indifferent face, she felt even more worried.

Zhong Yi consciously spoke deeply, but seeing him standing alone, she couldn't sit idly by.

Xia Linchen's hearing is better than that of ordinary people, and when he heard this, he smiled and said, "So, have you thought about it?" ”

Zhong Yi sighed and said resignedly: "Let's go to Nanyi." ”

She habitually turned around to take him, but withdrew her hand wryly when she saw his straight figure and the corners of his smiling mouth.

"Xia Linchen."

"Huh?" The uplifted tail note is gratuitously seductive.

"Can you go on your own?"

"I can't." After Xia Linchen finished speaking, he naturally put his hand in her hand, "There is still some distance from the place to take a taxi, you have to take me there." ”

Zhong Yi felt the warmth coming from the palm of the other person's hand, nodded and said, "Hmm, okay." ”

The small palm, dry and warm, the breeze gently blew the hem of her skirt onto his trouser legs, and he waited the same amount of time, and the skirt really came as expected.

This is Xia Linchen's whole feeling at this time, it seems that this bad day is not so bad.

"Favorite."

Zhong Yi was stunned for a while, this was the first time Xia Linchen called her name, and her voice was soft and clear, which seemed to be a little better than others.

"Thank you."

***

There are not many students in Nanyi, perhaps because the school is very rich, or maybe it is to give students who are dedicated to art a good creative environment, and the campus is very large.

Zhongyi walked in all the way, and he could see the students immersed in contemplation and obsessed with creation.

She rejoiced while walking, fortunately today is the weekend, and there are not many people, otherwise with her popularity and Xia Linchen's outstanding Cheng dù, this scene was filmed, and it would be 100% the headline of the school newspaper next week.

Zhong Yi plans to hide in the studio with Xia Linchen for the time being, which is exclusive to the four of them in the bedroom, and the location is remote, so no one should find it.

Zhong Yi got the key from the doorman and opened the door, the studio was still the same as when she had been here the other day, with bits and pieces of fabric on several tables.

Fortunately, Xia Linchen couldn't see such a sloppy room, otherwise she would have found a crack in the ground to get into.

The temporary place to settle down is solved, and the next thing is the problem of food and clothing.

When Zhong Yi left, the feast had not yet begun, and he was already dizzy from hunger. And Xia Linchen was brought out not long after breakfast, so naturally he didn't eat anything for a day. Coupled with this exciting day, even if you eat a lot, you will already digest it.

For the sake of keeping a low profile, she only contacted Cai Xiaotan.

As early as when He Chuchen called her before, she told the other party to find Cai Xiaotan's phone number in the class address book, and Xiaotan would arrange the rest for her.

Cai Xiaotan brought orange peel from Wen Luo, thanked him, and took the cat rope and Xia Linchen's blind cane.

Orange Peel bypassed her, quickly found his master, and quickly pounced on Xia Linchen.

"Meow."

Xia Linchen lowered his eyes and smiled, his slender fingers gently stroked the piece of fur on the neck of the orange peel, the orange peel was made comfortable by him, and he screamed twice in succession, squinting and enjoying it.

Cai Xiaotan brought dinner, both of them were hungry, one held a box, and ate sweetly.

When Xia Linchen was eating, Tangerine Peel didn't bother him, but walked around the room a few times like a proud queen. Zhong Yiyu saw it as if it was patrolling the territory, and he was overjoyed.

This caught its attention, and Orangepeel lifted the cat's step to her feet, its round dark eyes staring straight at her.

Zhong Yi pursed her lips and smiled, and there seemed to be a streamer in her eyes, which was exactly her very happy appearance. She picked out a fried fish from the lunch box and threw it to the orange peel, which was grabbed by it and put it on the ground to enjoy the food little by little.

Zhong said the pleading, and also learned to touch it like Xia Linchen. As soon as her fingers touched its fur, Orange Peel suddenly turned her head to stare at her, and her dark eyes looked at her for a long time.

Zhong Yi froze her fingers, for fear that it would scratch it unpleasantly, and then she would be miserable.

Orange Peel tilted his head, shook off his hair, and went back to eat his fried little fish.

This is...... Do you mean you don't mind?

I like to think about it, or ignore it for now, and continue to eat her food.

After the meal, Xia Linchen asked Cai Xiaotan to send the orange peel to Wen Luo. As soon as Orange Peel heard that he was going to leave his master, he was so anxious that he meowed, but Xia Linchen calmed down for a while before he calmed down and walked behind Cai Xiaotan with elegant steps.

There were only two people left in the room, Zhong Yi felt a little embarrassed, touched his nose, and dragged the chair to another position, a little farther away than where Xia Linchen was just now.

Xia Linchen judged the direction of his favor by his voice, and he didn't make a sound, and slowly closed his eyelashes.

He actually has a place to go, he remembers Cheng Ko's number very well, and when he calls it, she will definitely come over as soon as possible. Although Xia Shibang could most likely guess who he would ask for help, it was impossible for him to ask the Su family for help.

Maybe he was tired and didn't want to face Cheng Ko and Su Yan's hidden guilt, or maybe it was because of his affection, because when this little girl was embarrassed and pondered, he couldn't bear to interrupt.

Zhongyi originally planned to stay with Xia Linchen until the evening, and find a chain hotel to stay in after it got dark outside, but they didn't expect that just after seven o'clock, the lights above their heads suddenly went out, and they fell into darkness.

It was very quiet, there was no sound at all, Zhong Yi panicked, waving his arms wildly.

The next second, someone grabbed his wrist.

"Don't be afraid."

His hand was the only source of heat she touched, and Xia Linchen stood so close that she heard his barely audible breathing.

Zhongyi slowly calmed down, but Xin beat faster disobediently, afraid that he would hear, she broke away from him and took a step back.

"I'll go downstairs and have a look." Zhongyi took out his mobile phone, turned on the flashlight function to illuminate it, and ran out quickly without waiting for Xia Linchen to answer.

Zhong Xiang took advantage of the light of his mobile phone to see the notice posted on the door that he would indeed close the building early tonight.

She returned to the room and said to Xia Linchen apologetically: "I went to take a look, probably I couldn't get out tonight, it was my negligence." ”

It's all because she just wanted to sneak in, and she didn't notice the big notice.

***

The candlelight is full of shadows, which can illuminate the faces of two people.

It's autumn, and the nights are a little cold. Zhong Yi rubbed his hands together and sighed in front of his mouth.

Xia Linchen's ears were sharp, and he was about to open his mouth to apologize, but he was blocked by something that Zhong Yi stuffed.

Zhong Yi was so cold that he couldn't help it, so he pulled a piece of bright red fabric embroidered with gold edges on the stage, handed it to Xia Linchen, and picked up a piece of fabric with gradient blue from another table and wrapped himself.

"I'll use it."

Xia Linchen heard her sighing voice, and said in his heart that he really affected her.

After knowing that it was impossible for the two of them to go out on their own, Zhong Yi tried to call Cai Xiaotan for help, but after many attempts, he couldn't get out.

The usual full signal has become no service, and the heavens want the two of them to stay in this hellish place for the night.

Luckily, there were some spare candles, so I wouldn't be left in total darkness.

Xia Linchen didn't answer, Zhong Yi didn't care, and sat back after doing this. She stretched out one hand and roasted it not far above the candle flame, and when she felt that her normal body temperature had been restored, she switched to another. During this period, she was a little bored, so she stared at Xia Linchen, and a smile slowly rose to the corner of her mouth.

Sure enough, his choice was right, the person opposite was wearing that piece of fabric, as if he was wearing an ancient wedding dress, and the whole person was extremely bright and looked very warm. In such a cold time, it is like a spiritual heat source that I like to find myself.

He leaned back in his chair with his eyes closed, not knowing if he was really asleep or just recuperating.

It may also be that there is no topic with her, so fake sleep to avoid embarrassment.

The wax droplets slipped off little by little, and Zhong gradually became sleepy, and the stimulus of the day had sequelae at the moment, making her fall asleep on the chair unconsciously.

When he woke up again, there were two more candles on the ground that had burned out, and a new one might have just been lit, illuminating an area centered on it.

"Are you awake?" Xia Linchen's voice was a little hoarse, a little lower than usual, because of the discomfort in his throat, he fell into a vocal range that he didn't usually use.

Did he never fall asleep?

Zhong Yi was slightly stunned, and when he reacted, it was too late to reply, so he hurriedly stood up and took the opportunity to stretch his body, walked to the vicinity of Xia Linchen, and looked at his face by the firelight.

Xia Linchen didn't know why, just guessed her movements with her voice, and blinked his eyes to look in her direction.

Even in such a dim environment, Zhong Yi could clearly see the red blood in his eyes.

"How long did I sleep?" ”

Xia Linchen thought for a moment: "A little more than two hours." ”

"You lit the candle?" Zhong remembered this question in hindsight.

Xia Linchen nodded, took out a lighter from the pocket of his dress and handed it to her. When he fell asleep, he stopped trying to fall asleep, because in such an environment, there was always someone to stay awake.

Zhong Yi on the other side was very quiet after falling asleep, and he couldn't even hear the sound of breathing, if he hadn't heard better than others, I'm afraid he wouldn't have heard it.

The thin, even sound of breathing.

It tickled his heart, and in that moment, the fire suddenly went out, the last bit of light disappeared, and his world was completely dark.

Ever since the accident, he has kept a bedside lamp every night before going to bed, and he will not leave himself in complete darkness for a moment except to close his eyes.

He couldn't describe how he felt at the moment, it was like drowning in water, and he unconsciously clenched his hands.

Fortunately, he quickly sobered up, groping for the candle bag that he had liked to put on the ground before. The lighter is also fond of being placed in it, it is the most common style, and it is the thing that Xia Shibang always uses in his childhood memories when he returns disappointed every time he asks for help.

He held the lighter in his palm, lit it, tried several times, and finally found the wax wick of the candle.

When he sensed that little bit of light, Xia Linchen breathed a sigh of relief.

No one could see him laugh self-deprecatingly.

He admits that he is free and easy, and he never blames anyone for the car accident and blindness, and accepts this fact calmly. But he is not iron-clad after all, and he has done a lot of treatment in the past few years, and even the hospital has changed several times, all in vain.

Judging from the qiē he has experienced in the past thirty-one years, it seems that he has never been lucky in this life.

Family, lovers, career, everything you want, you don't get anything, and in the end you even lose your health.

There was wax oil on his hand that had accidentally dripped just now, and at this moment of his birth, it had condensed into lumps and stuck to his fingers.

He didn't panic when the candle went out again, he calmly crouched down and concocted the same solution as before.

He sat quietly until he woke up.

Zhong Yi picked up the bag and looked at it, and there were still two candles left.

Xia Linchen touched the dial of the watch, told her the time, and liked to estimate that in two hours, someone downstairs would open the door.

"Xia Linchen, it's better to ...... Let's chat? Zhong Yi said as he said.

She thought for a moment and added, "The two of us are locked up here together, and it's a fate......

She saw Xia Linchen nodding in agreement, so she smiled and said, "So, let's not talk so boring, okay?" ”

Xia Linchen also smiled: "Hmm." ”

"Don't get angry if you bring up something you don't like." I like to move the chair next to him and sit closer to him to open my heart.

"Yes."

"How old are you?" I like to be the first to ask questions.

"Thirty-one." Xia Linchen answered truthfully.

"What!" Zhong Yi covered his mouth and called out in disbelief, "It doesn't look like it at all." ”

"I'm complimenting me." Xia Linchen stretched his body, and his two long legs overlapped each other.

Zhong Yi peeked at Xia Linchen, his face was angular and soft in the dim candlelight, and he didn't have the shrewd philistine of a social person, and he looked full of youth.

"My brother is ten years older than me, that is, one year younger than you, and looks much older than you......"

If Zhong Yaoyang knew that his baby sister said this about him, he would probably die of sadness.

Xia Linchen chuckled lightly and told her, "Miss He called me uncle this morning." ”

mentioned He Chuchen, Zhong Yi also laughed: "She is like that, don't mind." ”

"Where are you and you...... Is that what I thought it would be? "Ordinary people are engaged, so they won't both run away from marriage.

"Business marriages? I guess that's what I said. Xia Linchen shrugged, "I saw her for the first time today." ”

"It's not true that I saw her, I still don't know what she looks like."

Zhong Yi was speechless for a while, but fortunately, Xia Linchen took over the topic in time.

"Yes, I have a question too." Xia Linchen's eyes were deep, "Why help me?" ”

It's like touching some kind of switch.

Zhong Yi thought, he was called his first name not long ago, and he ushered in the second time so soon.

"Because...... I'm curious and appreciative of you. Zhong Yi carefully considered the choice of words and replied seriously, "I heard Wen Luo say that you used to be very cheerful, and I also want to take a look at that kind of high-spirited appearance." To put it simply, you make me want to help you. ”

Few people have suffered great changes in the best years of their lives, and they can be like Xia Linchen.

Don't complain, don't be passive, and don't rely on others for everything.

But without the bright world and the work he loves, he is not depressed, but he is no longer the same as before.

"You seem to ...... You're complimenting me again. Xia Linchen said uncertainly.

Xia Linchen didn't move for a long time, and Zhong Yi didn't interrupt him.

I don't know how long later, in the dark, Xia Linchen leaned over and hugged her gently, very politely, and left with a touch.

"Thank you."

Zhong Yi was stunned, fanned his face uncomfortably, and stumbled back that it didn't matter.

After being silent for a long time, Zhong Yi finally asked, "How did your eyes get like this?" ”

Maybe it's the night that makes people relax, or maybe it's Xia Linchen's attitude that makes her feel close, this question didn't go through her mind, and she blurted it out. And almost as soon as she said the first word, she began to regret it.

Sure enough, the smile in Xia Linchen's eyes disappeared, and he changed back to that calm and detached appearance.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to, I ......" and busy remedy.

Xia Linchen raised his hand and accidentally touched Zhongyi's knee.

"It's okay, it's already old, let's talk about it, it's okay." Occasionally, he has to let the scar sneak into the wind, he knows that. Xia Linchen slowly fell into memories and told Zhongyi about the car accident four years ago.
