Chapter 52: It turned out that we met so early
After experiencing the peach blossom waves, clouds and rain, Zhou Yiyan was extremely tired and fell asleep deeply.
She found herself resting on a warm arm, turned her head, and met a suffocatingly handsome face in the dim light.
The feeling of sweet happiness exploded instantly.
Just now she dreamed of herself when she was young, and the picture in the dream was a little blurry, and the plot was upside down.
But it was such a fragmented dream that reminded her of the past that was buried by time.
She was only twelve years old that year, and she graduated from elementary school in less than a month.
She wanted to go on a trip abroad during the summer vacation, which He Fengying promised her, as long as the test scores were above 90 points, she would go.
It just so happens that Zhou Jianye will be free for the next period of time, and he is also in favor of going out with his family to relax.
At that time, Zhou Yao was just in the second year of junior high school, and she was very rebellious, but she and Zhou Yiyan had not yet reached the point of irreconcilability, and occasionally taught her how to write math problems.
While squeezing her pocket money, she also remembered to buy her an ice cream.
The real reason for their falling out was that they met a gypsy girl during their journey.
Zhou Yiyan had never heard of "tarot cards" before, and the gypsy girl used tarot cards for divination, because the process was complicated and long, she had little patience, and fell asleep on He Fengying's lap halfway.
Now that she thinks about it, it is probably since the divination that Zhou Yao's attitude towards her has become even worse.
Bullying her is no longer an ordinary prank, but like dealing with a guy he hates.
Zhou Yiyan was looking forward to this trip, but she thought it would be a bad memory, who knew that she was always picked by Zhou Yao, which greatly reduced her mood.
After returning to Zhou's house after the trip, the relationship between the two can be said to have turned into a-for-tat.
Once a brother and sister quarreled, Zhou Yao told her to get out of Zhou's house bitterly, saying that she was not worthy of being her parents' daughter and his sister.
Zhou Yiyan was angry and aggrieved, with two tears in his eyes, gritted his teeth and said, "If you want to get out, you will get out." ”
Zhou Yao said viciously: "In the future, when I inherit the Zhou clan, the first thing will definitely be to drive you out." ”
Zhou Yiyan was so angry that he couldn't do it, and impulsively, he ran away from home.
He Fengying and Zhou Jianye were both busy with the company's affairs, and the housekeeper and maid happened to be sent out to run errands, so except for Zhou Yao, no one found that Zhou Yiyan was missing.
Zhou Yiyan got into a taxi when she left the house, and her concept of money was not very clear, and she asked the driver to drive as far as she could, but she ran out of money and was thrown in a city where she had never been.
It wasn't until this time that she knew she was scared and wanted to call home, but found that she couldn't remember her home phone number, let alone Zhou Jianye or He Fengying's mobile phone number.
She walked back with the memory of when she came, but the more she went, the more bottomless she became, the car drove fast, and she was immersed in sadness and grief, and she didn't pay attention to the scenery along the way.
Like a panicked little bug, she lost her way through the city streets that crisscrossed like spider webs.
Seeing the sunset and the lights of thousands of homes, she finally collapsed, squatted down and cried.
She felt strange glances from everyone on the road, and she suddenly remembered what the housekeeper had told her about the traffickers, and a chill rose in her heart, and she felt more and more isolated.
Finally, when an aunt came up to say something to her, she ran away screaming, as if crossing a busy road, with the shrill sound of brakes and the shouts of pedestrians.
She didn't know how long she had been running, she didn't know where she had run, and she stopped when she couldn't move her legs anymore.
The clothes on her body were all soaked with sweat, and the tears on her face were not dry, which was extremely pitiful.
"Wait a minute, don't step on my cat!"
A clear voice suddenly sounded behind her, and she was startled and ducked to the side.
"Meow." A soft cat meow came, and she looked down to see a kitten stretching at her feet.
I almost stepped on it myself.
Someone came up from behind, bent over, picked up the kitten by the neck, and put it in his arms.
"Well, don't run around."
Under the street lamp, reflecting on the young man's warm and jade-like side face, Zhou Yiyan couldn't help but be in a trance for a moment.
Oh my God, that's handsome.
"No, I'm sorry, I didn't notice it." Zhou Yiyan apologized quietly.
She actually likes small animals, especially cats and dogs, but He Fengying has allergic rhinitis, so it is forbidden to have any hairy animals in the house.
The boy turned his head to look at her, only to notice her embarrassment, and a hint of surprise flashed across his face.
"It's okay, didn't you step on it. Are you going to touch it? ”
Zhou Yiyan nodded hurriedly, slowly raised his hand, and touched the kitten's ear.
The young man's dark eyes flashed slightly, and then a faint smile appeared, "I also like to touch kittens' ears." ”
Zhou Yiyan couldn't help laughing.
"Little brother, is this your cat?" She asked.
The young man said, "My brother is my brother, why do you add a small one in front of you?" ”
Zhou Yiyan thought of Zhou Yao, and the corners of his mouth immediately twitched, "I hate my brother, but you don't." ”
The young man smiled: "It turns out that you are so unhappy because you quarreled with your brother." That's good, little brother is little brother, if you like this cat, take it back and raise it, this is not my cat, I found it in the alley in front, the little thing may have been abandoned by the mother, blame the pitiful, I will come out every day to feed it a little food. ”
Zhou Yiyan reached out and touched the kitten's head again, with a look of hesitation on his face.
The young man saw it, and it was estimated that her family was not allowed to raise it, so he said, "It's okay, I can continue to bring it food, and you can come and see it when you have time." ”
Zhou Yiyan hung his head, twisted the fingers of his hands together, and whispered, "But I don't know how to get here from home...... Little brother, I, I," she looked up and looked at him helplessly, "I don't know how to get home, what to do?" ”
Finally, I asked for help.
Her whole heart lifted, both uneasy and expectant.
He'll help her, right? He's a good guy, right?
The young man was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting the other party to be a lost child, but the next second, he showed a reassuring smile.
"Don't be afraid, I'll find a way to take you home."
All the grievances and grief in her heart disappeared suddenly, and she looked at her little brother in a daze, feeling that he was the god sent to her by heaven.
The boy bent down, put the cat back on the ground, waved at it, and said, "Go back quickly, see you tomorrow." ”
The kitten jumped forward without hesitation, and disappeared into the night.
Zhou Yiyan learned from a young man, waving his hand at the end of the night, "Cat, see you tomorrow." ”
The boy laughed, "You don't even know how to get here from home, see you tomorrow." ”
Zhou Yiyan explained solemnly: "I'm just saying goodbye to it out of politeness." ”
The young man stretched out his hand to her and said with a smile: "Let's go, you pull me, don't get lost." ”
Zhou Yiyan didn't even ask him where he went, did he already know where her house was? Just like that, he put his hand on the boy's palm with trust.
The boy took her by the hand and asked her if she remembered the location of her home, what city it was, what street it was, and what house number.
Zhou Yiyan actually knew it, but he was too scared just now and forgot about it.
Now that he was being seduced by the young man, he slowly told his address.
The boy raised an eyebrow, a little surprised, "Your place is quite far from here." ”
Seeing that she looked like she was about to cry again, the young man hurriedly said: "Far away, but I can go back." ”
Then, the teenager stopped a taxi on the side of the road and told the driver the address.
Then he said to her: "When you get home, just ask your parents to pay the driver the fare." ”
Only then did she realize that there was such an easy way to go home.
The boy waved at her, just as he had said goodbye to the kitten before, but instead of saying "see you tomorrow", he said, "Little sister, bye." ”
It wasn't until the car drove off the street that she remembered that she hadn't asked his name or what it was.
If she wanted to find him, how to come.
She asked the driver where it was, and the driver said, "Oh, it's Dongling Street in the north of the city, which is a relatively lively section of the road in the old city." ”
Later, she came there several times by all means, but never met the boy or the kitten again.
This memory and the teenager in the memory should not be forgotten casually, but after a long time, they are still forgotten after all.
Zhou Yiyan didn't know why she just had a dream with no beginning and no end, so she dug out this memory from the depths of the years, the young man's warm smile overlapped with Guan Linyuan's cold expression, and she couldn't find any similarities, but it was exactly the same as Guan Linyuan in middle school she saw in the photo album.
Obviously, when she was a child, she loved to laugh and talk, how did she become a person when she grew up and didn't talk much, she can't blame her for not recognizing him.
She couldn't help but raise her hand to gently trace the eyebrows and eyes of the sleeping man, the cold and resolute of the past had been reduced a little, and even the tightly pursed lips showed a little softness.
If I had known it was you......
There was tenderness in her eyes.
We don't have to waste so much time.
Guan Linyuan suddenly opened his eyes without warning.
Zhou Yiyan was startled and wanted to withdraw his hand, but he held it firmly.
"Does it hurt?" He asked thoughtlessly.
Zhou Yiyan was stunned for a moment, and then remembered the ...... the two of them just now His cheeks instantly turned red and dripping blood.
"No, it's fine." She shook her head vigorously like a gnat.
Guan Linyuan smiled and asked again, "Are you tired?" ”
She felt the soreness in her lower back for a moment, but finally shook her head, "...... It's fine. ”
He sat up and turned on the bedside lamp.
"I don't know what the lanterns in the yard look like when they are lit up, let's go and see together."
It's obviously an invitation, but it uses an imperative sentence, which is very domineering and strong.
Zhou Yiyan thought to himself, it was still cuter when he was a child.
She also sat up, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "There are many mosquitoes in the yard, just take a stroll, and I'll show you photos of me when I was a child when I come back." ”
