The aisle was very quiet, the chandelier emitted a warm orange light, Ye Shucheng looked at Xu Jinghe quietly, and was silent for a long time before he spoke: "Jinghe, I thought you understood, I was trying to accept you." ”

Xu Jinghe's face fell, "Work hard? Do you find it hard for me to accept? ”

No," he shook his head, "I've been looking for you for a few years. ”

She nodded.

Before looking for you, I kept telling myself that as long as I return to Jincheng and you are still alive, I will definitely not leave you this time, I will give you whatever you want, and I found you later, and I have always done this, to be honest, in my eyes, you are like a sister, and it is my unshirkable responsibility and obligation. ”

Xu Jinghe's heart was cold.

And he continued: "You wrote that letter many years ago, how old were you then? Fifteen or sixteen, before I received the letter, I had no impression of you, we didn't even have contact with each other, you just said that you liked me, if that didn't happen. Even if I read the letter, I would only think that you are superficial. ”

She was shocked, and her face was a little embarrassed.

I'm serious......"

I didn't question you, after all, you saved me then, and I," he paused, frowning, "but I didn't save you. ”

He took a few steps forward, stopped in front of her, his hand ran through the curls that were scattered over her shoulders, touched the side of her neck, a scar winding, his fingers rubbed lightly, "After so many years, I hope you can re-examine your feelings, you just looked at me from a distance back then, and liked me without knowing anything about me, but now it's different, you have to try to understand me, I have a lot of shortcomings, I'm not enthusiastic enough, I won't take the initiative, I can meet all your material needs, but I may not be a good man, so, Do you still like me? ”

His voice was deep and slow, and his words were coherent, but she could hear too much meaning in his words.

She looked up and met his gaze, "Do you want me to like you?" ”

probably didn't expect the problem to be thrown back, Ye Shucheng was stunned.

She asked again: "Shucheng, is there another woman in your heart?" ”

That's why I can't focus, and I always stagnate when I have already made a decision.

This was the most likely answer she had come up with.

Because of that kiss mark, she was even more sure that there was such a woman between them.

Xu Jinghe's words made Ye Shucheng's hand stop and slip off her shoulder.

Su Nian's face unexpectedly appeared in his mind, and Su Nian smiled.

What is the concept of other women, he has never paid very little attention to women, An Ziyan will pay attention to whether there are beautiful women in front of him when he walks on the street, but he does not have these thoughts, he can be said to be almost dull in this regard, but Su Nian, she is different.

She broke into his line of sight, strong, dazzling, and it was difficult for him not to notice.

Xu Jinghe saw his expression, obviously thinking of something, she smiled, "Shucheng, you have another woman, right, who is it?" ”

His expression instantly turned cold, "Jing He, I'm an adult man, I said that my emotional experience is blank, do you believe it?" ”

She pursed her lips aggrievedly, "Then what do you mean, what do you mean when I am, you ...... Are you going to leave me alone? ”

Xu Jinghe really annoyed him, the reason why he stayed was because he thought of the fright she was suffering during the day today, but she was aggressive at this time, so that he couldn't breathe.

I said I wouldn't leave you alone, but Jinghe, people's hearts are not material, you can give if you want, I'm trying to adapt to the relationship between us, I said, I'm very slow. If you do this again, I can't guarantee the outcome. ”

Su Jinghe was stunned, and when she saw Ye Shucheng turn around to leave, she rushed over and hugged him from behind.

Her head is empty, there is no emotion, there is no basis for talking, for Ye Shucheng, he can let go at any time, she can't.

I won't ask, I won't force you, as long as you are by my side, I listen to you, we are not in a hurry, take your time......"

His voice trembled slightly, with a crying tone, he was a little unbearable, sighed and pulled her hand away, and gently rubbed her hair, "Don't think too much, you should be very tired today, go to sleep." ”

She grabbed him by the sleeve, "Then can you be in the same room with me, and you can wait for me to fall asleep before leaving, okay?" ”

Her eyes were red, and so was the tip of her nose, pitiful and pitiful, he couldn't help it, and nodded.

He had never done such a thing before, and felt like a child, she kept holding his hand, babbling and talking a little, before falling asleep, he sat at the head of the bed, and looked at her quietly for a while, his eyes falling on the scar that was directly exposed without hair to cover it.

An Ziyan's crow's mouth is right, he has a feeling that he is about to capsize.

The love field is different from the shopping mall, in this field he is not only not a master, he is simply stunned, and now he is trapped in such an entangled relationship, it is really like living in the cracks.

But I can't let it go, I can't let go of any end.

……

The next day was the weekend, Su Nian slept until more than eight o'clock in the morning and was woken up by the alarm clock, and there was no Ye Shucheng around when she got up, she thought about it for a while, and remembered that she was waiting for him here, and wanted to ask about the project of the horticultural fair.

Ye Shucheng didn't return all night.

She still has classes on the weekend, so she can't sleep, so she gets up and washes slowly, and her thoughts gradually return.

He didn't come back all night, what did he do.

When she was eating breakfast, she picked up her mobile phone and saw the message that Ye Shucheng had sent at more than twelve o'clock-

In Yishui Yunju, there is something to do, and I won't go back. ”

It's just a few words, without any explanation, maybe because there is no need to explain, she is a lover who is taken care of by him, and she has no power and qualification to ask, she has no appetite at all, she hastily cleaned up, and took the subway to class.

Despite the weekend. The subway was still crowded, and she grabbed the handrail, her eyes falling on the window glass with a bit of a dazed look.

It was dark outside, and she saw her numb face reflected in the glass, her hand gripping the armrest unconsciously clenched tighter, and the nail of her thumb clenched at her index finger with constant force.

Ye Shucheng gave her an illusion, an illusion that his relationship with Xu Jinghe was not as harmonious as it seemed to the outside world.

But an illusion is an illusion after all, what will they do one night, together, in Yishui Yunju......

She thought she could not care, no, she suddenly realized it at this moment, no matter how many times she denied Ye Shucheng in her heart. No matter how many times she told herself to control her feelings and emotions, it didn't work, she would still feel pain because of him.

She lowered her head, trying to hold back the tears.

When she walked out of the subway, she was in a daze, and when she arrived at the front desk of the training institution, she couldn't find the card when she needed to punch in and enter the class.

The wallet with the card and the phone were all gone.

She rummaged through the bag at the front desk, but she couldn't find it, seeing that it was close to class time, the people in the same class went in one by one, and she was still at the door at a loss to rummage through her bag.

I couldn't find it, and the last flip turned into tearing, and she poured out all the contents of the bag, scattering small things all over the ground. Someone passing by was a little surprised, looking at her like a neuropath.

And she crouched on the ground, stubbornly searching for a pile of things, biting her lip, tears rolling in her eyes.

There is still the card that Ye Shucheng gave her in the wallet, she can't lose it, if she loses it, it's three million, and the three million is the only time she really accepts his money, that's her self-esteem.

In the end, even the girl at the front desk couldn't stand it, and came over to persuade, "Miss Su, I'm afraid you lost it on the subway, or I'll lend you my phone first, and you can call the police......"

She didn't look up, Jincheng security is not good, I don't know how many mobile phone wallets to lose on the subway and bus in a day, the police have almost no effect, she used to be more cautious, but today God is not guarding, after all, it was a thief who took advantage of the loophole.

Despite her best efforts, tears welled up in her eyes.

Dripping on the back of her hand, on the ground, she raised her hand and wiped it in a hurry, and the girl at the front desk felt a little pitiful when she saw her like this, "Miss Su, you get up first, hurry up and call the police, is there a bank card in the wallet." If you have one, you should report the loss immediately......"

Su Nian had a little reaction, wiped the corners of her eyes with the back of her hand, stood up after putting all the things in her bag back, and asked the girl at the front desk to borrow her mobile phone, but she couldn't remember the number in her hand, and finally it was the girl at the front desk who helped, and called up the registration record when she and He Zeng came to consult before from the computer, and found He Zeng's number, so she called.

He Zeng has a habit of sleeping lazily on weekends, and the ringtone rang for a long time before he answered it, and his voice was sleepy: "Who?" ”

It's me, I'm Su Nian......" Su Nian clenched the phone, "Master He, I came to class, I lost my wallet and mobile phone, there is a card in my wallet, I have to report the loss, that's ......"

She spoke in a hurry, her voice was still trembling, He Zeng was excited, sat up from the bed, and interrupted her, "Su Nian, calm down and speak slowly." ”

She wanted to cry again when she heard his voice, she didn't know how she could have become so fragile and vulnerable, it was just a loss of things, she was disgusted by such a squeamish and pretentious appearance, she took a deep breath. "Master He, when you get up later, can you come to me?"

I'll go over now, and you'll wait at the front desk. ”

After speaking, He Zeng hung up the phone, scratched his head, got up and hurriedly went to wash.

Su Nian sat in the rest area of the front desk, waited for more than half an hour, He Zeng rushed over, and after listening to what she said, he scolded first.

It's not that you don't know that there are many thieves on the subway and bus in Jincheng, why don't you know that you have a heart? ”

Su Nian lowered his head, his fingers twisted together, and he couldn't find a word to refute.

The phone can be bought again, and the wallet is ...... inside You just called me and said you had a bank card, right? Which line, have you lost your documents, hurry up and report the loss. ”

Her voice was weak: "I didn't put my wallet with my documents, at home, there is my salary card in my wallet, but there is not much money, I can report it lost, but there is still a card, the amount in it is relatively large, not my ......"

He Zeng was stunned.

Her voice became quieter, "That's what Mr. Ye gave me." ”

He Zeng paused for a few seconds and shook his head, "You let me say what is good about you." ”

Su Nian picked at his palm, his nose sour.

He Zeng asked, "How much money is in the card?" ”

Million. ”

He Zeng's eyes widened.

Su Nian had already pulled out a few deep red marks in his palm, He Zeng couldn't stand it, and grabbed her hand, "Don't pick it, are you annoyed?" ”

His palm pressed against the back of her hand, clenching hard, and she looked up at him, and he saw her slightly red and swollen eyes.

He wanted to continue scolding, but he was in no mood, so he squeezed her hand again, "It's okay, let's find a way to remedy it." ”

After speaking, he let go of her hand and took the mobile phone to call, he didn't have Ye Shucheng's phone number, so he could only call the director of the architectural design department to inquire about Ye Shucheng's phone number, Su Nian listened quietly to He Zeng and the other party next to him, and his heart was even more uncomfortable.

He Zeng is very disgusted with dealing with leaders, and he must be uncomfortable on this phone call, all because of her.

After the call to Ye Shucheng. He dialed it and gave it to Su Nian, "You tell him." ”

Su Nian sniffled and took the phone and put it to his ear.

It took a long time before the phone was answered.

Who? ”

Leaf...... Mr. Ye, I'm Su Nian. ”

There was a two-second pause, "Something?" ”

The familiar, deep male voice came over her, and at her worst, it didn't give her any relief, and his tone seemed as if he shouldn't have called if he was fine.

She bit her lip and felt pain, and her tears were forced back again, "Mr. Ye, I lost the card you gave me, can you call the bank and report the loss of the card first." ”

Her voice was a little nasal, and Ye Shucheng was silent for two seconds. "What's wrong?"

It's okay...... "she tried to calm her voice, "just lost something on the subway." ”

Wait a minute," he said, and there was a sound of footsteps, and he seemed to change places, and asked her again, "where are you?" Do you still have money on you, can you go home? ”

…… I have a friend to help, I can go back, you call the bank to report the loss first, I'm afraid it's too late......"

He heard the uneasiness in her voice, and quickly replied: "I know, you go home quickly, and I will go back as soon as possible." ”

After making this call, she hurriedly called the bank again to report the loss of her salary card, and then returned the mobile phone to He Zeng, and sat in a daze for a while, without saying a word.

He Zeng thought that she was still uncomfortable when she lost something, and comforted her kindly: "It's okay, the money, you can always earn it back." ”

She smiled wryly.

What should I do now, Mr. Ye didn't say to pick you up? ”

Her head reacted slowly, "He told me to go back on my own, but ......"

She paused, "I don't want to go back, I'm here for class." ”

He Zeng was stunned, "What classes are you still taking after all this, go back and rest, and adjust your state." ”

I can't. She bit her lip again, the paranoia in her bones attacked, "I'm here for class, I'm going to class." ”

But your face is terrible......"

You don't understand, Master He, that's all I have left," she clenched her fists and shook her head, "I don't have anything left but design, I can't do it well, I can't go back, I have to go to class." ”

She insisted very much, no matter what He Zeng said, it was useless, and He Zeng felt that she might cry if she continued to talk. He sighed, reluctantly took a little cash from his wallet and gave it to her, "Then you can take the car back by yourself after class, and be careful on the way back." ”

She didn't refuse, "I'll give it back to you." ”

He Zeng patted her on the shoulder, "Be strong, this is not like you, there are still many winds and waves in life, so you can't shed tears at every turn, what will you do in the future?" ”

Su Nian didn't speak, He Zeng had already turned around and left.

She grabbed the money He Zeng gave and was stunned for a while before returning to the front desk, and the girl at the front desk helped her open the door, and she really went to class.

She struggled to put all her worries behind her. Including Ye Shucheng's advice to let her go back as soon as possible, she was very tired of his attitude, and his condescending posture of controlling everything, she was engrossed in listening to the lecture and drawing, despite this, the effect was not high, everyone went to eat at noon, and she stayed alone in the classroom to study the model that she couldn't adjust well.

When the classroom door was pushed open again, He Zeng came in behind the cleaner who was in charge of classroom hygiene, and when he came over, he said, "I knew that I couldn't leave you alone, go for a walk, and eat." ”

She was stunned, "Aren't you leaving?" ”

It's back again, how can I go with your virtue? ”

As he spoke, he picked up her bag. After taking a few steps outside, I turned around and saw her sitting still, walked over and simply took her hand, and muttered, "Why is it so troublesome......

Su Nian almost instinctively shook off his hand.

Both of them were stunned.

The atmosphere was a little awkward, He Zeng scratched his head, his face was not very natural, "I won't pull you, you go by yourself." ”

She didn't want to go, and she didn't have an appetite, but she didn't want to refute He Zeng's face anymore, so she followed in his footsteps.

He Zeng was really keen on fast food, and he went to a Western-style fast food restaurant, Su Nian looked at the greasy hamburger and lost his appetite, and slowly swallowed the fries, He Zeng thought about it and said, "Do you want to leave Mr. Ye." ”

She smiled dismally, "You think I don't want to?" ”

You are now subject to him because you are afraid that he will cut off your way to learn design, but I thought about it for a while," He Zeng made a plan for her with a serious face, "You can save the country." ”

What do you mean? ”

Ahem...... Let's put it this way," he stared at her eyes, "I'll speak straighter, don't you don't like to listen, you give people lovers, aren't you just able to get a handful when you are together, Mr. Ye has such a big hand, and he will give you three million." You can get enough money and then go abroad to study, you need a regular full-time university to get the qualifications in China, you can get them in the UK by taking some courses and taking enough credits, and it is more valuable than domestic certificates. ”

Su Nian's hand holding the fries unconsciously put it down.

He Zeng continued: "I know what you're thinking, the Architectural Design Department, you are directly engaged in the industry, and it will be faster than going to school to study for a degree now, but Su Nian, I can see that you are in pain now, why don't you choose a path that makes it easier for you, and it may take more time to go abroad to get a certificate." But at least you're free, unfettered, and you don't have to be a disgraceful lover, you say? ”

He Zeng's words are actually very pertinent, many of the girls who are lovers of the rich are in this way, make enough money, and then make some plans for their future, Su Nian suddenly found that no matter what the relationship between her and Ye Shucheng is, in the eyes of the outside world, it is difficult to escape the essence of money and sex transactions.

There is always such a hurdle in her heart, the money she took directly from Ye Shucheng, if she spends it, it means that she has really sold herself and regarded this relationship as a transaction, she has been evading, but she can't escape.

She was silent for a long time and then spoke: "Master He, if I say that I don't want to spend his money, will you think I'm hypocritical." ”

He was stunned.

She said: "You are right, but I'm sorry, Master He, my heart is very anxious, I have wasted too much time because of marrying into the Shen family, I don't want to start from scratch, I still have the opportunity to get in touch with big projects like horticultural fairs, but if I want to study abroad and then enter this industry, how many detours do I have to take?" I don't want to, I can put more effort into it than others, and I will mobilize all the resources I can use, and Mr. Ye is for me. That's the kind of resource. ”

He Zeng heard this and smiled, "I'm just a suggestion, of course your path has to be decided by you, but Su Nian, don't let yourself live too hard, otherwise you will find that many things will lose their original meaning, you can develop architectural design as your own career, but it will not become your lifeline, and it is not worth you to push yourself to a corner." ”

Su Nian smiled and didn't speak again.

There was still an afternoon of class after lunch, Su Nian repeatedly told He Zeng that he was fine, and He Zeng also felt that he had spent a lot of time on her, so he stopped insisting and left. It was already past six o'clock in the afternoon after Su Nian finished class, and he went downstairs and walked out of the elevator, bowing his head and walking fast, inadvertently hitting a human wall.

She touched her forehead and looked up, and what caught her eye was Ye Shucheng's face.

His face was expressionless, and there was a faint coldness in his deep eyes.

I told you to go home as soon as possible. ”

He used the word "home", which he often seemed to use unconsciously to refer to the place where they lived together, but now that she heard it, she felt sarcastic and blurted out, "That's not home." ”

This sentence shattered the number of things he had originally wanted to say into a plate of sand, and her expression looked calm and indifferent.

After he took her call in the morning, he was worried, her voice sounded abnormal, he thought that he could see her when he went home, and finally got rid of Xu Jinghe and went to Rongcheng. But she wasn't there, he waited for a long time, he couldn't wait, her mobile phone was lost, he called and there was only a prompt that the phone had been turned off, no way, he could only call the number she used to call him before, but he didn't expect that it was He Zeng who answered the phone.

She said that she had friends to help her, but she didn't say what it was, was it deliberately concealed, or was it an unintentional move?

He and He Zeng asked for the address, and they waited downstairs for a long time, and when they saw her, she had this attitude.

There are still people coming and going downstairs. Not a good place to talk, his eyes sank, and he took her hand and led the person into the car.

Su Nian didn't struggle, she would come sooner or later, she hid for a short time, it was useless, she still had to face it after all.

He pushed her into the car very roughly, her wrist was grabbed with a red mark, but there was no sound from the beginning to the end, she was quiet and frightening, he sat in the driver's seat, paused slightly as he leaned over to fasten her seat belt, he hated her indifferent, indifferent look, clasped her chin, kissed her.

Saying that the "kiss" was inappropriate, it was not only the lips and tongue that were forced, but the teeth were not idle, and he bit her lip.

In fact, Ye Shucheng rarely lost control like this, she felt that her lips were hot and painful, but her heart was cold, and she was disgusted, he couldn't have kissed Xu Jinghe, maybe he did something else......

She felt her heart tug at the thought of it, and she closed her eyes, tears slowly rolling down her cheeks.
