Chapter。 8

Ye Qingyun's home is on the 14th floor, with an independent elevator and a spacious elevator room. Cheng Jiayi saw the velvet beige carpet and rattan chair coffee table on the floor tiles, and suddenly felt a comfortable sense of happiness in his heart. The floor-to-ceiling windows face south, and the light must be very good during the day, just imagining the appearance of living here in the future, basking in the sun and reading books in the rattan chair, makes her feel inexplicably excited and excited.

Ye Qingyun glanced at her strangely, she restrained the smile on her face, shook her head and whispered, "It's nothing." ”

Ye Qingyun didn't ask much, opened the door and looked for slippers in the shoe cabinet in the entrance, fumbled for a while, took out a pair of light gray cloth slippers and handed them to her: "Wear this first, I don't have a women's one here, if you think it's inappropriate, I'll buy it when you're free." ”

Cheng Jiayi took the slippers and leaned into the room to look inside, and from this angle, he could see that the spacious living room was cleaned up in an orderly manner, clean and tidy, just like Ye Qingyun's temperament.

The overall decoration of the house is based on black, white and gray, the black leather sofa in the living room, two canvas pillows printed with English letters are placed at will, and on the white wall behind the sofa, several simple style decorative paintings are scattered and embellished, which is the home of a single man at a glance.

Cheng Jiayi changed her slippers and walked in, the rectangular transparent low coffee table that was originally blocked by the wall appeared first, several magazines were neatly stacked, and she glanced at the headlines on the spine of the book, the theme of decoration, car or travel. Suddenly, a pink mug next to him broke the masculine pattern out of place.

She put down her backpack, jumped over and picked up the cup, turned around in the palm of her hand, up and down, left and right, back and forth, confirmed that it was the strawberry cup she gave him many years ago, raised her eyes and looked back at him excitedly: "You still keep this!" ”

Ye Qingyun said lightly, "Hmm." With a sound, she carried her suitcase in the direction of the guest bedroom, and like a curious little animal, she looked left and right, and then followed up in the room that was about to belong to her.

The room is not big, but it still feels a bit empty because of the lack of things. The gray tatami mat-style low bed, pillows and quilts have a soft and fluffy touch from the visual. There is a floor lamp at the head of the bed, and a simple black lamppost is crowned with a white round lamp ball. On the wall facing the bed, there was a television set, and there was nothing but a crisp curtain with vertical stripes.

In this room, only Yao Yufeng, a close friend, occasionally plays too late and sleeps for a night, so he hasn't taken care of it carefully, and now if he wants to live with Cheng Jiayi, the configuration is obviously too streamlined.

Ye Qingyun stood at the door and stared at his eyebrows: "I'll buy you a wardrobe tomorrow, you can think about what else you need at night, make a list, and buy it together tomorrow." ”

Cheng Jiayi listened to it and burst out laughing.

Ye Qingyun asked strangely, "What are you laughing at?" ”

Cheng Jiayi paced over freely, pretending to be serious, patted his arm, and said, "You are really a good man with a bright future!" ”

Ye Qingyun was even more strange: "Huh? ”

Cheng Jiayi withdrew his hand, just smiled, smiled and smiled, and finally said lightly in Ye Qingyun's suspicious gaze: "It's nothing, I haven't seen you for so many years, I think you have grown up and become more and more able to take care of people, it's so good......"

Ye Qingyun scratched his head embarrassedly, smiled speechlessly, exited the door again, and pointed to another door on the left: "Bathroom, the bathroom in the guest bedroom is outside, which is a little inconvenient...... New towel toothbrush or something in the cabinet, you have to use it yourself to turn it over. ”

Cheng Jiayi: "Okay. ”

Ye Qingyun turned around and pointed to the other side: "That is my room...... Belch...... You can also go in, and then, the one next to it is the study, if you want to be bored, you can go to the book, the boot password of the computer and the wifi password at home are my birthday, the format of the year, month and day, 8 digits, do you remember? ”

Cheng Jiayi nodded: "Remember...... It's such a memorable birthday, it's hard to forget it......"

Ye Qingyun wanted to speak and stopped: "Well......"

Cheng Jiayi urged him: "Go to your parents' place for dinner, they must be in a hurry." ”

Ye Qingyun: "Hmm...... Would I like to bring you something back? ”

Cheng Jiayi shook his head: "No need, I've grown up too, I still have basic life skills, I will order takeout, I won't starve to death!" ~”

Ye Qingyun smiled: "Ordering takeout is a life skill? ”

Cheng Jiayi: "Otherwise? …… Okay~ You can go to eat with peace of mind~ Go quickly! ”

Ye Qingyun still smiled: "Okay, okay, I'm leaving~"

As he spoke, he threw the key to her: "If you have any necessities, just go out and buy them yourself, eh...... It's best not to go out, in case you can't find your way home...... Belch...... If you can't find it, call me......"

Cheng Jiayi took the key steadily: "You are really ...... Cough...... Don't you know that in today's convenient society, supermarkets also have takeaways? Hum! I'm not going out! Go to dinner, go back quickly! ~”

Ye Qingyun finally changed his shoes and went out, and before closing the door, he didn't forget to say the last word: "I'll just have this bunch of keys, don't lose it!" ”

Cheng Jiayi stood in the living room in a daze, looking at the direction where the door was closed, his eyes never looked away, and he gradually lost focus.

Ye Qingyun left, and the smiling expression on her face slowly faded and became empty. came back with Ye Qingyun all the way, and she didn't feel anything. Now that she was alone, she finally realized that she and Shu Hang were over.

In the past year or so, although she was afraid and avoided, although she resented that she didn't want to see him again, when she dreamed back at midnight, there was always a little bit of him to redeem, and she relented and agreed to the instinctive thoughts.

At the moment, everything is different. She really took a stand, she rejected him without any doubt, even if she said to be friends, even if he ended up with love, she couldn't allow herself to dream unrealistic again.

The mobile phone number that is familiar in my brain and engraved into the lines of life, whether it is okay or something really happens in the future, I am afraid that it will not be and cannot be dialed again.

She crouched down feebly, wrapped her arms around her knees, and buried her head deep in it, as if that would protect and comfort herself.

Her mind was empty, and she squatted in the same position for a long, long time, until her legs were numb, and then she slowly stood up with the coffee table. Because she had been squatting for too long, she was a little dizzy when she just stood up straight, and she closed her eyes for a while before she finally opened them slowly.

The kitchen of Ye Qingyun's house is open-plan, directly connected to the dining room, separated from the living room by a slender white bar. Cheng Jiayi likes this bar design very much, she sits on a black solid wood stool, happily shaking her legs off the ground, supporting her head with her hands, lying on the bar in a daze.

Although it is different from the dream of either a pink little princess or a retro Nordic-style home decoration style, Ye Qingyun's home is full of industrial tough texture, so simple and capable that it is almost a little deserted, but Cheng Jiayi still likes it very much.

She felt a little hungry, so she went in and opened the door of the refrigerator, apples, yogurt, milk, eggs, orange juice...... There is nothing that fills the stomach. She picked up a can of tomato juice in frustration, only to find out even more disappointed that she still couldn't open it as expected.

She put the canned food on the bar and reluctantly went to her phone to order takeout.

The doorbell rang at this time.

Cheng Jiayi hurriedly ran to open the door, but it was not Ye Qingyun who she thought was standing at the door.

#

Cheng Jiayi looked at the mature woman in the white shirt and suit at the door, and couldn't react a little, so she didn't say hello, nor did she invite her into the house, just stared at her blankly.

The other party was obviously a little surprised when he saw that it was a woman who came to open the door, took a step back and raised his head to confirm the house number, and then his eyes returned to Cheng Jiayi's face: "It's Ye Qingyun's family, right?" You are......? ”

Cheng Jiayi was still confused, and reacted for a long time before replying in a low voice: "Ah...... I am...... Belch...... Ye Qingyun is not here, do you have something to do with him? Come in first...... He'll be back in a moment......" he said, and hurriedly retreated into the house to make room for the guests.

The mature woman stood in the hallway and did not enter the house, Cheng Jiayi was stunned, and it took a few seconds to realize that it was a problem with changing shoes, so she squatted down clumsily and opened the shoe cabinet to rummage.

Men's shoes, leather shoes, casual shoes, jogging shoes, sneakers...... Cheng Jiayi muttered in his heart: Slippers are so hard to find, there must be few people coming. With great difficulty, she dug up a pair in the corner that resembled her own feet, and she happily took them out and handed them to the visitor.

The woman changed her shoes and entered the house, and sat down on the sofa with ease, which made Cheng Jiayi look restrained and twisted. She stood awkwardly on one side, wondering if she should bring out a drink for a treat, but she didn't move.

It was the visitor who broke the silence first: "I'm Ye Qingyun's...... Partner, call me Jessica, are you ......? ”

Cheng Jiayi: "Ah...... Hi Jessica, I'm ...... Belch...... It can be regarded as Ye Qingyun's tenant...... Call me...... Alice can too. ”

Jessica was suspicious: "Tenant? ”

Cheng Jiayi nodded: "Hmm...... Jessica, what do you want to drink? Belch...... Juice and coffee in the fridge, which one do you want? ”

Jessica was obviously still a little suspicious of her tenant's identity, and looked at her as a prospective hostess, her heart seemed to be suffocated, sullen, and shook her head: "No need. ”

Cheng Jiayi: "Oh. With a voice, he wouldn't answer, and continued to stand awkwardly awkwardly.

She is not an eight-sided person, although she is brave and decisive when she encounters difficulties, and can boldly ask strangers for help, but subconsciously, she can be said to be very introverted, except for Shu Hang, business partner and college friend Liu Meng, and a few childhood sweethearts who know the roots, she can be more open, and she is always silently tense when she encounters unfamiliar people.

It is related to the fact that she has been living in a small world with only Shu Hang and herself, she is not good at dealing with people, and occasionally has contact with the outside world, most of them are also Shu Hang's friends, they seem to have their own closeness factor, and she has no burden in communicating.

But when she really met a stranger for the first time, she was at a loss. Especially at this moment, facing Ye Qingyun's partner, who looks like a royal sister is full of temperament.

Thankfully, the doorbell rang again.

Cheng Jiayi breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly ran to open the door, but as a result, the gender of the person who came was still female. Cheng Jiayi suddenly drooped his head in frustration, and one head became two big.

This time, she had no intention of asking or explaining, and regardless of the other party's surprised eyes, she found the slippers and handed them over, and led the person into the house.

The person who came followed Cheng Jiayi and chattered: "Hello, I am Mr. Ye's assistant Xiao Zhou, is Mr. Ye at home?" I called him and turned off the phone, knowing that he came back from the MC today and had something important to look for him, didn't bother you, right? ”

Cheng Jiayi shook his head wordlessly, and at this time, Xiao Zhou saw Jessica on the sofa, and hurriedly bowed deeply in her direction: "Mr. Lin is also here, I came to find Mr. Ye, his mobile phone was turned off." ”

Jessica: "yes, I know. Come and sit. ”

Xiao Zhou walked over and sat down on the single sofa on the other side of the coffee table.

Cheng Jiayi looked at the assistant who was a little nervous and flustered in front of the boss, and suddenly felt a little closer, so he politely asked, "Do you want to drink juice or coffee?" ”

Xiao Zhou hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no, no!" ”

Cheng Jiayi failed to receive the reception instructions, so she had to continue to stand awkwardly on the side, she looked up at the black wall clock on the TV, it was almost 10 o'clock, and it was almost two hours before Ye Qingyun went out.

Just thinking about it, a mobile phone rang in the direction of the guest bedroom.

Cheng Jiayi flipped out her mobile phone and saw Ye Qingyun's name, she was slightly stunned, she picked it up, walked out of the door, and said without a head: "Isn't your phone turned off?" ”

Ye Qingyun: "Well, just charged, did you call me?" ”

Cheng Jiayi shook his head: "No, come back quickly." ”

Ye Qingyun: "I'm at the gate of the community, have you eaten?" What do I want to bring you? ”

Cheng Jiayi glanced at the two people on the sofa in the living room, endured his hungry stomach, and shook his head again: "No need, come back quickly." ”

#

Ye Qingyun heard a little strange on the phone, originally only Cheng Jiayi was tired and rested, until she opened the door, with a wronged look, combined with the two extra pairs of high heels at the door, she vaguely understood that she must have felt embarrassed.

When he entered the house, sure enough, a queen and a servant were sitting in the living room of his house with a stern expression.

Jessica clasped her hands in front of her chest, saw him, and muttered angrily: "You went out for 4 days, do you know how hard I worked?" When you come back, you can turn it off for me, right? ”

Ye Qingyun took off her coat and hung it on the coat rack, moved a high stool from the bar and sat down opposite Jessica, and said in a slightly tired tone: "Thank you for your hard work, Xiao Zhou has told me about the company's affairs in the past few days, haven't you dealt with it all?" What's the matter with coming to me so late? ”

Jessica raised her hand and rubbed her eyebrows, and was about to speak, but Ye Qingyun saw Cheng Jiayi standing stiffly on the side, and interrupted her: "Wait a minute......"

Then he turned his head to look at Cheng Jiayi, and his gaze changed from shrewdness to infinite gentleness: "You go to the bath and sleep first, we estimate that we will talk about the ...... quite late."

Cheng Jiayi nodded obediently.

Ye Qingyun: "You sleep in my room tonight, there is a bathtub in the bathroom in the bedroom, you can take a bath, I changed the sheets last week, and they are quite clean." ”

Cheng Jiayi tilted his head slowly like in slow motion, pointing in the direction of the guest bedroom: "I'll sleep in the guest bedroom......"

Ye Qingyun's eyes were still gentle, but there was a toughness in his tone that could not be refused: "Yufeng has slept in the guest bedroom, and I haven't changed the sheets for a long time, so you sleep with me first tonight." ”

Cheng Jiayi said in a low voice: "Oh." With a bang, he obediently turned around and left.

The three of them watched as she moved her luggage from the guest bedroom to the master bedroom and closed the door before they withdrew their gaze.

Xiao Zhou blushed and stepped forward excitedly: "The boss is in love~~~"

Ye Qingyun smiled noncommittally.

Jessica didn't feel good in her heart, frowning and muttering, "Didn't she say she was a tenant?" ”

Ye Qingyun pretended not to sense her sour tone, and replied indifferently and vaguely: "Sort of...... Back to the point, what are you looking for me? ”

Jessica's many years of strong woman is not in vain, and she instantly regains her shrewdness in her working state and goes straight to the topic.
