"Do you really stop thinking about it? Did you just give up all of your inheritance before your father died? ”

"Don't. I robbed you of so many things since I was a child, so I will pay you back as interest. ”

In the falling snow, Li Zijin held a black umbrella and answered indifferently.

Behind her, Li Yefeng, who seemed to have aged several years in just a few days, could only shake his head and smile bitterly, and struggled to move forward with the support of others.

In a few days in prison, he had become accustomed to all kinds of darkness that he had only heard of in legends - how could he be safe and sound under the instructions of someone who cared for him?

He already had the determination to die in prison, but he didn't expect that one day he would be able to come out of this dark and damp place again and stand in the sun.

Greedily sucking the cold air, a hoarse cough came out of his throat, and he gently patted his arm, motioning for his subordinates to release their palms, and staggered forward slightly with his own strength.

In the back, he looked at this familiar and strange woman, and suddenly sighed melancholy: "We owe you too much." ”

"It's okay, then it's okay." Li Zijin waved his hand indifferently: "If you don't care, I will be very happy." ”

Li Yefeng smiled a little self-deprecatingly, "Since you were a child, you have always had such a tone." Wouldn't it be hard to be your boyfriend's guy. ”

"No, he's not like you." Li Zijin turned his head to look at him and said seriously, "He will make me breakfast." ”

"Sounds like a daunting task." Li Yefeng smiled, coughed again, and said after a moment of silence: "Really, aren't you ready to stay at all?" 'Times Group' has also had your hard work over the years. ”

Li Zijin thought seriously for a while, and laughed in a low voice: "Then I'll take this name away, as for those industries, if I want it, there will be a second and a third......"

It sounds really amazing, but Li Yefeng believes in the possibility in her words, I'm afraid that for her, the only thing she has nostalgia for is this name, right?

"What about you? Things have calmed down, what are you going to do? Continue to be the boss of the club? ”

Hearing Li Zijin's words, Li Yefeng smiled bitterly again, no matter what, he envied Li Zijin's unrelenting and neat and chic demeanor when he let go, but unfortunately, he couldn't be like her.

"That's my father's hard work, and there are many brothers who eat with him, how can he let it go?"

"If you are willing, you will wash a part of the industry and give it to Li Cheng to manage. Society. There is no future for the association, five or six years before the second uncle died, he always wanted to completely whitewash the society, it depends on whether you can fulfill his last wish. ”

Thinking silently about Li Zijin's suggestion, Li Yefeng nodded seriously: "I'll do my best." ”

"It's not your best effort, it's that you have to do it, I don't want to hear that you will be caught again one day, don't come to me again when the time comes."

Li Zijin turned his head and glanced at Li Yefeng seriously, "This time alone, it already makes me feel very sorry for him." ”

Seeing such a serious look from Li Zijin's face for the first time, Li Yefeng felt the resolute intention in her heart, and couldn't help but smile bitterly again: "A place like a prison, it's enough to go in once." Either way, please believe that there will be no next time. ”

casually helped Li Yefeng open the car door, Li Zijin did not sit in, but looked at Li Yefeng's weak complexion and said: "Don't be in a hurry to make bold statements, go to the hospital for examination, and recuperate for a while." Just in time for your brother's company. ”

Li Yefeng sat in the car and looked at him in surprise: "Aren't you going together?" ”

"No, someone came to pick me up." Li Zijin looked down at his watch and showed a hint of a smile: "It's almost time." ”

"Boyfriend?"

"Yes, Christmas Eve."

Li Zijin nodded and said, waved his hand to help him close the car door, and just when he turned around and was about to leave, he suddenly remembered something very important, turned around and knocked on the car window, bent down and said to Li Yefeng: "Since you feel that you owe me, then please ask you for one thing." ”

Hearing her say this, Li Yefeng sighed in his heart, it seems that she is not even willing to keep this last favor.

She never owes the Li family, and she doesn't want the Li family to owe her anything, after this favor is exchanged, maybe she won't have anything to do with the Li family in the future, right?

Still, he nodded: "Say it, I'll let someone handle it." ”

Li Zijin saw that he understood what he meant, and immediately showed a smile: "Although Liu Ying's old bastard is dead, he still owes my boyfriend an inheritance."

You find someone to pick it up, redecorate it, and do it in the style of a café, no problem, right? ”

"That's the only thing?" Li Yefeng didn't expect that what she wanted to do by herself was only so simple.

"Don't overthink it, it's already important to me." Li Zijin said seriously: "If I can't do it, I'll be very angry." ”

"I see." Li Yefeng nodded seriously, looked at his cousin who had straightened up again outside the window, and said complicatedly: "Goodbye." ”

"Hmm." Li Zijin smiled and took a step back, "Goodbye." ”

Just as she watched the cars slowly disappear at the end of the street in the light snow, she cut off the last bond that connected her to the Li family, without any nostalgia.

It's like taking off the last restraints from my body, and I feel the ease and freedom that I haven't felt for a long time.

From now on, she is just Li Zijin, and she just needs to be herself.

Although he has nothing, he is free to hold a person's hand and follow him wherever he goes.

Holding a black umbrella, she raised her head and looked up at the white sky from under the edge of the umbrella, exhaling a warm white mist and waiting quietly.

Soon, footsteps crushing the fine snow on the ground rang out behind her, and the young man's shoulders and hair were covered in powder, melted and wet through his coat, smiling at her.

Li Zijin turned around, raised his hand to help him pat the snow on his shoulder, and complained in a low voice: "It's so slow." ”

Zhou Li smiled and took her somewhat cold palm: "It's snowing, and there is a bit of traffic jam on the road." I put my car in a parking lot and ran over on my own. ”

"Then forgive you."

Li Zijin whispered, and then generously divided half of his umbrella to help him block the snow falling on his head: "However, you have to take me home first." ”

Zhou Li looked at Li Zijin beside him with his head bowed suspiciously: "Don't you go over directly?" ”

"I want to change my clothes, and...... You have to buy some gifts, right? ”

Zhou Li said casually: "It's just a meal, what kind of gifts to bring?"

"Huh? In other words......" Li Zijin noticed the hidden information in his words, and his eyes instantly became a little dangerous: "On such an important day as Christmas Eve, you didn't buy any gifts?" ”

"Uh......" Zhou Li noticed her dangerous gaze, and his expression suddenly stiffened: "That...... Actually, I have a ...... to buy."

"Really?" Li Zijin snorted and laughed twice: "The last chance, if you haven't bought it yet, you can make up for it." ”

"Really?"

Zhou Li was overjoyed for a moment, and then ...... Seeing Li Zijin's dangerous expression: "You really didn't buy anything!" ”

"Wow, you're bluffing me?"

"Who hooked you?"

Li Zijin glared at him angrily and walked in front: "I'm going to be angry, hurry up and think of a good reason to comfort me." ”

Zhou Li smiled bitterly, looked down at her still holding her palm, and sped up his pace to follow: "Okay, okay, don't be angry, I'm actually really prepared." ”

Li Zijin turned his head and asked suspiciously, "Really?" ”

"yes, I bought a few pounds of apples." Zhou Li showed a simple and simple smile like a farmer uncle during the autumn harvest: "Girls should like to harvest apples on Christmas Eve, right?"

"Zhou Li."

"Huh?"

"You'd better die!"

…… As a result, Li Zijin, who looked angry, still forgave Zhou Li's negligence for a while, and unceremoniously bought a lot of things back with his money.

Most of them are snacks brought to Lu Qiaoshui, which seem to be a lot, only a few hundred yuan; He also bought Zhou Li a pair of gloves and a boyish red velvet hat, punished him to wear them on his head, and was not allowed to take them off before returning home.

So, in the cold wind, he was dragged by Li Zijin to walk on the street, even if he was as thick-skinned as Zhou Li, he couldn't help but bow his head in the curious gaze of passers-by, and he was not relieved until he arrived at Li Zijin's home.

"Alright, wait for me." Li Zijin pressed Zhou Li on the sofa, poured water for him and said, "I'm going to change my clothes, I'm not allowed to peek." ”

"Okay, okay." With the rabbit-shaped velvet hat on his head, Zhou Li nodded helplessly.

After glancing at Zhou Li's new look with satisfaction, Li Zijin snorted and laughed twice before closing the bedroom door and began to scramble to clean up the messy clothes that had been thrown on the ground.

Coats and skirts were stuffed into the closet and rolled up, gloves and socks were thrown into the bedside table first, and panties were ...... Wait!

Just when Li Zijin was in a hurry to clean up, he suddenly felt something that had just been changed yesterday from the pile of clothes, and couldn't help but stretch out his hand and touch it, as if there were still residual wet marks from last night on it, and he couldn't help blushing.

That guy...... Too bad!

Li Zijin blushed and bit his lip, tucked it under the quilt, and pretended not to see anything.

It wasn't until half an hour later that Zhou Li, who was about to doze off, heard the sound of the door opening. When he raised his head, he saw the red-faced Li Zijin walking out from behind the door with some hesitation.

After changing the original formal outfit, Li Zijin's regular clothes appeared but were extremely eye-catching, which made Zhou Li, who was already familiar with him, couldn't help but admire it.

Under the white skirt, the slender and delicate legs are not afraid of the cold and change into black thin wool tights, revealing an unusual temptation.

Feeling Zhou Li's gaze, she pressed her skirt a little shyly and asked in a low voice, "Is the skirt ...... Something short? ”

"No, that's good." Zhou Li nodded seriously: "However, it should be cold, right?" ”

Hearing his approval, Li Zijin suddenly laughed, shook his head and said, "No, I can still put on a coat." ”

"But if you add an overcoat, won't you be able to see it after dressing up for so long?"

"What does it matter if others can't see it?"

Li Zijin turned around proudly, enjoying Zhou Li's amazed gaze, but he didn't tell him the second half of the sentence.

As long as you can see it.
