37. Chapter XXXVII
Ye Ci couldn't help but feel a little at a loss when she heard her ask herself, she hesitated for a while, and replied hesitantly: "It's difficult, can you say that this is fate?" ”
Yang Zhiyin laughed out loud and asked, "Fate?" Ye Ci, you have read too many books, where are there so many mysterious things in this world."
Ye Ci nodded, thinking that it was right, and raised his head and said, "Otherwise, it's because you really like Dao Chang." But Zhiyin, why do you like the Taoist, he's a monk."
Yang Zhiyin saw Ye Ci throwing the ball to herself, and she didn't know how to answer, thought about it, and replied with a relaxed face: "Because he is handsome, I haven't seen anyone better than him since I grew so old."
Ye Ci was dumbfounded, "Just because of this?" ”
Yang Zhiyin nodded confidently, "Yes, it's because of this." Why should a man like a beautiful woman, but a woman can't like a beautiful man?"
Ye Ci hooked his head, as if he didn't know what to say.
Yang Fangzhai is good-looking, but just because he likes it for a little bit, he dedicates himself to it and lets him elope with him.
No matter what, if it is put on Ye Ci, she can't accept it.
But Yang Zhiyin's growth environment, life, and values are different from her.
Everyone's pursuits are different because of this, and she has no right to judge anything.
When I looked down and saw that the resin glue in my hand was almost stirred, I simply got up, went to the work cabinet on the side, and stood on tiptoe to look for talcum powder.
Yang Zhiyin saw Ye Ci touching the top floor of the cabinet with his feet on his feet, and walked over and asked, "Okay, what are you half a cripple jumping around?" Whatever you want, I'll find it for you."
Ye Ci glanced at her, thought about it and said: "I want to find talcum powder, I remember that there is a white plastic packaging bag on the top few layers, you touch it."
After listening to her words, Yang Zhiyin nodded to indicate that she knew, reached out and touched the cabinet for a while, but she didn't touch any packaging bag at all, and finally touched a bulging thing, and immediately jumped and swept the thing down, looking down, it was actually a cowhide bag, and at a glance, she knew that it was not talcum powder.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I touched this, I thought it was, and I swept it down with a bang."
Ye Ci picked up the cowhide bag on the ground, shook his head and said, "It's okay, what is this, I haven't seen it myself?" ”
After speaking, he reached out and untied the mouth of the cowhide bag.
With a bang, dozens of envelopes suddenly leaked out of it.
Yang Zhiyin hurriedly squatted down, helped Ye Ci pick it up, picked it up and looked at it, and asked, "To Bai Ge?" Who is Bai Ge, why are there so many letters to him?"
Ye Ci squatted in place in a daze, sweeping the letters in his hand one by one, obviously confused. In the end, he just shook his head and said: "This, these letters were all written to him by Bai Ge's father, but how can they be in my house?" ”
Where did Yang Zhiyin know, she reached out and took out the cowhide bag, and took out a bank passbook from the innermost part of the bag, which was an account called "Bai Yiwen", handed it to Ye Ci, and asked her: "Who is this Bai Yiwen, could it be this Bai Ge's father?" ”
Ye Ci nodded and replied softly: "This person is Bai Ge's father, and these are the letters his father wrote to him." In fact, such a letter used to be given to him by my mother every year on Bai Ge's birthday, because his father ran away from home many years ago, and only my mother knew where he was."
Yang Zhiyin listened to her words, frowned suspiciously, and asked, "Running away from home?" Isn't his dad dead? ”
Ye Ci raised his head suddenly, looked at Yang Zhiyin, and shouted in surprise: "What, what?" How is this possible? ”
Yang Zhiyin shrugged her shoulders, looked at the letter in her hand and replied, "Look, this letter is divided according to this person named Bai Ge, his age, from twenty-six to fifty years old. If ordinary people simply run away from home, why bother to sort out everything after that like this and let people send it out on their behalf. Besides, he still has a bank account here, so shouldn't he ask your mother to send them a little money every year? No matter how you think about it, it's all something that this person will do when he is no longer alive."
As soon as she said this, Ye Ci suddenly felt very reasonable.
stood up, took out his mobile phone and put it in his hand, looked down at the bright and black screen, wanted to play, but couldn't help but hang up, like he was stupid for a while.
Seeing her hesitant look, Yang Zhiyin couldn't help but ask: "That, Ye Ci, who are you calling here?" If you want to fight but don't want to fight, why don't I give you a try? ”
When Ye Ci heard her say this, he immediately shook his head and said, "Forget it, forget it, I'll fight it myself." I just want to call this guy named Bai Ge, he, he used to be my hair small, but he hasn't called for a few years, and I don't know how to speak when I think about it. Well, I'll go outside first."
Yang Zhiyin saw that Ye Ci said vaguely, and knew that she must have hidden something about the relationship between the two, so she didn't ask too much, after all, this was a private matter of others, so she sat down on the seat on the side and said, "Go ahead."
Bai Ge had already returned to Yunzhou City at this time, and had just come out of the hospital after work.
Hearing the mobile phone ringing, I picked it up and saw that it was Ye Ci, I couldn't help frowning, and when I saw that the ringtone hadn't stopped for a long time, I simply clicked on it and put it in my ear to "hey".
Ye Ci heard his cry, and he didn't know how to continue for a while, so he was silent for a while, and said, "That, Bai Ge, if you have time, can you come to my house." Don't worry, I won't".
OK.
Bai Ge was unusual, and he didn't show any special boredom.
I opened the car door and said, "I'll drive first, and I'll call you when I get to your door."
Ye Ci said yes, sat in place, and looked at the phone a little stunned.
She originally thought that this phone call would go out, not to mention anything else, Bai Ge's trademark "hum" would always hear a few words, but she didn't know that the other party didn't say anything, so she agreed like this.
Yang Zhiyin saw that Ye Ci had not returned to the studio, so she got up and came out to look for her.
Seeing her sitting on the sofa, looking at the mobile phone in her hand in a daze, she walked up and couldn't help asking, "Who are you this Bai Ge?" What do I think of you, ahem, you weren't a couple before, were you? ”
Ye Ci listened to her words, and immediately shook his head and replied, "No, it's not." It's just that we used to play well when we were kids, and later, because of some personal reasons, we became estranged. ”
Yang Zhiyin pursed her lips, "oh" and said: "In this way, Ye Ci, don't blame me for not reminding you, I think that men must have the bearing of a man, if you cut off the relationship because of a little thing, or say something ugly, then this kind of man is unreliable, and you don't need to have more relationships in the future."
Ye Ci knew that she was insinuating Bai Ge with herself, nodded and didn't speak, heard the horn of the car at the door, got up and looked out the window, and said: "Bai Ge is here, that Zhiyin, we have something to say."
Yang Zhiyin replied to her with interest: "I know, I will go to the bedroom and promise not to listen to the corner and make a small report to Brother Yue."
After speaking, he also glanced outside, and said with a smile: "Yo, it's quite handsome, but the shoes don't match very well."
Bai Ge didn't know that he had been beaten from head to toe by Yang Zhiyin at this moment.
Seeing that the door of Ye Ci's house was open, he took off his shoes and went in by himself.
He came to this place a lot when he was a child, just like his own home, that is, Bai Yiwen ran away from home, otherwise, he wouldn't have to go around every time he passed by here.
I knew that no one was paying attention, but I still couldn't help but want to stay away, as if I was deliberately avoiding something.
Ye Ci saw him coming, put the teacup on the table in the living room, lowered his head and said: "You wait a minute, I'll go to the house to get you something, I, I accidentally found it while cleaning today, it is related to Teacher Bai."
Bai Ge nodded in agreement, sat down on the wooden chair on the side, and looked at the decoration in the room that had not changed much compared to before, and couldn't help but feel it for a while, sighed and picked up the tea on the table and took a sip gently.
Ye Ci took out the cowhide bag and put it in front of Bai Ge with some hesitation.
"What is this?"
"This is what I found in my grandfather's studio today, and it contains a bank account of Mr. Bai, as well as dozens of letters he wrote to you."
Bai Ge was stunned, took the cowhide bag in her hand, took the envelopes out of the bag, and looked at them in her hand for a long time.
Ye Ci thought he didn't believe it, so he opened his mouth and said again: "These letters are written by Teacher Bai himself, you are his son, you should."
"I'm sorry".
Bai Ge suddenly interrupted Ye Ci's words, and said again: "Ye Ci, I'm sorry all these years." I should have said this to you a few days ago."
Ye Ci froze in disbelief.
She didn't understand why a person who hated herself so much before would let go of all the past so lightly after reading a few letters like this.
couldn't help but ask him: "No, no, Bai Ge, you are".
Bai Ge took a breath, raised his head, and looked directly into Ye Ci's eyes for the first time in so many years.
"The other day, I found a man in our hospital. That person was my dad's former attending doctor, and he told me, "My dad, he passed away 10 years ago."
Ye Ci listened to his words, and suddenly he was so confused.
After a long time of coming back to his senses, he sat down slowly again and said, "My mother hasn't told me about this, me."
"Ye Ci, I've been thinking for a few days, should I find a time to talk to you, at least, I should come and apologize to you. After all, I know that I've been very much with you all these years. ”
Ye Ci lowered his head and didn't answer, after a long time, he shook his head again and said, "Your father ran away from home, and my brother was killed by me again." You're going to think like that, I, I don't really blame you."
When Bai Ge saw Ye Ci say this, the unspeakable guilt in his heart surfaced more clearly.
He watched as her hand glowed pale and slender in the scattered sunset.
couldn't help but half-squat in front of her, took her hand and said, "Ye Ci, will you still recognize me as a brother?" ”
