Five years later.

In the early spring, the air is still slightly chilly, and the whole city is recovering from the long winter, and then the news is shocked.

Lin don't want to get married, the son of the Lin family!

Since the day the news broke, the news media has been tireless in reporting it, and they have not clarified the identity of the bride.

After all, there has been no news since Lin Bei went to Cambridge, England to study two years ago, and the first thing he didn't expect to do when he returned to China was to hold a wedding.

The wedding was prepared in a hurry, as if something was chasing and had to be completed at the end of this month, and half a month after the news came, this much-anticipated wedding was held in a high-end hotel in the center of the city.

The media had long blocked the venue, but the Lin family seemed to be deliberately low-key, and did not send anyone to dispatch on the spot, not even anyone who came out to speak, allowing long guns and short cannons to block the entrance so that there was no end in sight, and the limousine could not even drive to the door.

The air conditioner in the car was turned on very low, this was for fear that the bride's delicate makeup would be the slightest inappropriate, and no one dared to anger Lin Bei, so they all held their breath and tried their best to prepare for the wedding perfectly.

The limousine drove in slowly, and the reporters began to get agitated, and they crowded forward in clusters, for fear that they would not be able to photograph this moment in history.

So who is the bride?

The moment the car door opened, everyone present gasped.

That's not ......

The flash did not respond immediately, and some people even stood there at a loss, whether this could be filmed or not......

No wonder the Lin family has done a good job of secrecy, no wonder there is no leakage, no wonder no matter how the media investigates, it is impossible to know the identity of the bride.

No one thought that Lin Bei's bride would be her......

***

The wedding was carried out in a very hurry, Lin Bie even appeared at the venue at the last second, he didn't see him for a few years, he looked serious and low, but he had a bit of his father Lin Zeran's demeanor, in the face of so multimedia gossip, he was still calm as if these were not worth mentioning.

There were not a few tables in the banquet in total, all the relatives of the Lin family came, Lin Zeran sat at the main table and was silent, no matter who came to persuade the wine, he didn't move, Mrs. Lin couldn't stand it and helped drink a few rounds, and everyone stopped coming forward when they saw that the atmosphere was not right.

The groom and the bride accepted everyone's blessings like a marquee, Lin Bei said little, but he didn't drink less, so when he took the bride and sat in the car, one didn't walk steadily, but in the eyes of outsiders, it was a scene of two people embracing.

Everyone's doubts seemed to be alleviated a little, only to see the bride's slender arm supporting Lin Bei's back, whispering something in his ear, Lin Bei looked at her for a few seconds, and finally showed the first smile of the night.

The moment the door closed, his smile faded.

Lin Bei was very uncomfortable, he untied the tie with one hand and loosened the neckline, and the other hand leaned against the window to support his head that seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, and then exhaled.

There was no other sound in the car, and it slowly drove into the night.

The light and shadow along the way were intertwined and circulated in the small space in the car, and no one spoke, and Lin Bei even felt that the person sitting next to him was lifeless.

The corners of his mouth hooked, and the moment the wine came up, he closed his eyes.

***

When he arrived at the foot of Linjia Mountain, the driver was waiting for the guards to let him go in front of the iron gate, Lin Bei looked at the night outside the window, and a thought came to him.

"Go to the apartment in the city center." He commanded.

The driver hesitated for a few seconds, then slowly reversed the car and drove down the hill again.

A few minutes later, the car drove past the gate of Provincial No. 2 Middle School, and Lin Bei turned his head sideways to look at the people around him, capturing the slight changes in her expression.

Then, as if to make him angry, the woman only glanced at the scenery outside the window, but did not react at all.

It's as if she's forgotten.

Lin Bei looked away, he opened the window to let the air circulate, and he felt a little sober in the early spring night with the cold air in the car.

The car slowly drove into the city center, then the familiar pedestrian street, then a foreign bar street, and then the car turned at the intersection into a quiet area, which was the embassy district.

Lin Bei looked at the familiar street scene outside the window, and trivial fragments were floating in his mind, he didn't dare to set foot here a few years ago, and now he can't say what it feels like.

The car finally drove into a high-end community, and at that moment, the old houses on the street entered Lin Bei's field of vision, and it was also at that moment that Lin Bei felt the slight movement of the person next to him.

She took a breath, a faint but cautious one.

The driver opened the door, and Lin Bei got out of the car from one side first, and then came to the other side to meet his bride, and the moment the two looked at each other, Lin Bei swore that he saw something that flickered in her eyes.

"Can I come down on my own?" He asked, looking at the hem of the wedding dress.

"Yes." Liang Jiu almost crawled out with difficulty, carrying a pair of high heels in her hands, and stood barefoot on the cold ground.

Lin Bei frowned, then picked her up by the waist and walked into the apartment lobby a little awkwardly.

Liang Jiu didn't struggle, she tried her best to keep a certain distance between herself and his body, and the elevator climbed to the top floor and opened the door with a bang, but fortunately it was directly into the house, so that Lin Bei could walk a little less.

He put Liang Jiu behind the sofa in the living room and sat on the carpet by himself, Liang Jiu knew that he had drunk a lot today, so he found the kitchen and took a bottle of water from the refrigerator and handed it to him.

He stared at her the whole time, and in five years, she had gone from being the raunchy girl she used to be a dignified and decent woman in front of her.

There was little change in her countenance, except that she was more charming, as if nothing had changed.

Raising his head and drinking half a bottle of mineral water, Lin Bei wiped the corners of his mouth with his hand, "There are three empty rooms here, just choose one to go to bed early, and I will go back to the old house tomorrow to see my parents." ”

Liang Jiu hummed for a moment, she didn't dare to look at each other when he spoke, Lin Bei felt that everyone was awkward to get along like this, so he stood up and walked into the bedroom, and closed the door casually.

The room was quiet again, and Liang Jiu curled up in the corner of the sofa and sat like this all night.

Lin Bei didn't sleep well this night, he felt the sound of rustling in the living room several times, he wanted to go out to see, but he didn't know what to say when he saw Liang Jiu, so he slept for a while and woke up for a while, and gradually the sky was bright.

He took a shower to sober himself up, then walked out of the room and saw Liang Jiu lying on the sofa at a glance.

She was still wearing the white wedding dress she wore yesterday, which she had not even had time to try, and now it seemed to be a little smaller, so that she was lying like this, her chest was exposed in front of her, and Lin Beier looked away.

Liang Jiu slept very lightly, she slowly opened her eyes, and found that the light in the room was very dim, and there seemed to be a person standing in the distance of her vision, she sat up, and Lin Bei had already walked to the kitchen.

Neither of them communicated, and neither spoke first.

Liang Jiu wanted to change the dress, but there were no clothes she could wear, and when she was worried, the doorbell rang.

Lin Bei ignored the doorbell, let it ring again and again, and finally Liang Jiu went to open the door.

The people outside the door were obviously surprised to see her, but in an instant they returned to normal, "Madam, this is the clothes that Mr. has prepared for you." ”

A light-colored dress and coat was carried into the room by her, and a few minutes later, she returned to the living room with her dressed clothes, and Lin Bei was already waiting at the door.

From yesterday to now, there are only a handful of things that the two of them have said, and Liang Jiu looked at him blankly for a while.

"Let's go."

"Okay."

When he came to the Lin family's old house again, Liang Jiu felt like a world away, the road up the mountain was still full of green trees, and the house was flickering on the top of the mountain.

Lin Zeran was not at home.

Hearing this news, Rao is Liang Jiu was mentally prepared but still stunned.

Mrs. Lin received them and stayed for lunch.

After leaving the old house, Lin Bei answered a phone call and said that there was something wrong with the company, and he asked the driver to send Liang Jiu back to the apartment, and then got out of the car without saying when he would come back.

In this way, Liang Jiu returned to the apartment alone, she found that the light in the house was very dark, and she didn't understand why Lin Bei had to draw the curtains in broad daylight.

However, the moment she opened the floor-to-ceiling curtains in the living room, something stung her with the dazzling sunlight shining in.

Liang Jiu stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and looked into the distance.

She finally understood why Lin Bei had brought her here.

The bungalow directly outside the window, can she say that she is not familiar with it?

It was where she lived five years ago, and the funny thing is that five years ago she wanted to get out of there, and five years later, she didn't even have the qualifications to go in.

Liang Jiu stood there and let the early spring sun burn her all over her body, but she didn't feel a trace of warmth.
