Chapter17
When I woke up in the wee hours of the morning, I couldn't sleep again, staring at the ceiling with my eyes open until dawn.
"You're going back again?" Pu Zheng asked with a serious face against the door frame.
"Yes."
"Why?!"
"I have my thoughts." Put on your coat and pull out a scarf from your suitcase.
"It's often hard to agree with what you're thinking."
I laughed, "Park Zheng, you have no reason to be angry. ”
"Is it acceptable to go to the hospital twice in less than five days?"
I pouted, "OK, when I didn't say it." ”
"In other words, what I said earlier has also been erased, right?"
"Hey Zheng, you can consider changing careers, such as a lawyer?"
"Thank you, I'm happy with my career so far."
He stopped what he was doing, sat on the edge of the bed, looked at the pair of gunpowder-filled eyes, and sighed, "You know, there are some things that I don't want others to interfere with. ”
"It's an honor that I've been promoted to what you call 'someone else.'"
"You know I didn't mean that."
"Good! That ......"
"Pu Zheng, I must go back."
“……”
Looking at the back of Park Zheng who turned around and left in a hurry, his mind was a little confused, with guilt and self-loathing.
Jian Zhuang, the maid opened the door, and after I entered, I went directly to the second floor and entered my room. The room had been cleaned, and the bedding had been replaced with new ones, and I was wondering when there was a burst of laughter from the floor-to-ceiling window on the left, and the direction was the pool and garden.
On the artificial lawn below the balcony, Jian Yuling was laughing and playing with a large Satsuma dog, while Xi Xichen was sitting on a wooden chair, idly flipping through an original book. The rare winter sunshine these two will enjoy it.
"Huh? Sister?! Sister, sister, sister, sister......, "Jian Yuling was the first to see me, and ran a few steps closer to me with his head up, but he was knocked to the ground by the Satsuma dog behind him before he ran two steps.
"Reid." With a low call, the Satsuma dog obediently lay back on the grass beside him, no longer playing bad with people.
"Are you hurt?" Xi Xichen put down the book in his hand, walked over and helped Jian Yuling up, and patted the grass clippings off his cotton clothes with his other hand, with a very gentle movement.
“…… Sister ......"
Xi Xichen raised his head, met my gaze, and was silent for two seconds before bowing his head slightly at me.
"Miss Jane, there is a gentleman surnamed Ye looking for you outside." The servant knocked on the door and entered.
Leaf? Ye Lin!
Instant panic! I forgot all about yesterday's promise!
Running downstairs, at the gate of the villa, Ye Lin stood there, looking at me wordlessly with his focused eyes through the thin morning mist.
"Ye Lin ......" slowly approached him, why was he uneasy? Sorry, maybe...... The corners of his mouth rolled into a meaningless smile, but he was interrupted by a sudden angry shout, and his whole body stiffened.
"Don't talk to me!" An almost hysterical roar, but for a moment it returned to a deep gloom, "At least for now, I don't want to hear you." ”
No more attempts to speak, stand aside, and wait for him.
After a long time, Ye Lin spoke, his tone was unusually dry, "Jian Anji......"
"Jian Anji, do you still want me?" A voice that borders on a request.
I froze for a full five seconds. Although I have long been familiar with Ye Lin's moody and unpredictable personality, I was still a little caught off guard by the lack of such historical data.
"You ......"
When I was stunned, Ye Lin had already reached out and pulled me into his arms, so gentle and cautious, "Do you still want me?" ”
I didn't struggle, "Ye Lin? ”
"I can't let it go." Ye Lin leaned his head lightly on my neck, "What if I can't let go no matter how hard I try?" So, what to do? ”
I understand his words, and I won't pretend not to understand, "Ye Lin, what do you want me to do?" ”
Feeling his stiffness, "You ......" looked up at me with a bright gaze.
"Ye Lin." Reaching out and caressing the slightly refined cheek, "You want me to come back to you, don't you?" But Ye Lin, you know that we can't go back to the past, you are no longer the Ye Lin who would shelter me from the wind and rain back then, and I am no longer the weak and incompetent Jian Anjian before, then, no matter what I do, what you want me to do, it is meaningless. ”
His brow began to furrow, "Y-what do you mean?" His hoarse voice sounded a little shaky.
"Ye Lin, let me go." I punned on him and nudged him away a short distance, "Also, Miss Yang is looking for you." Looking over Ye Lin's shoulder and meeting Yang Yali across the road, "She loves you." At least, more than I love you. ”
Slowly turned his head to look at Ye Lin's gaze, and there was pain and ...... in those eyes. Bitterness?
Gradually, Ye Lin's hand relaxed, and then, let go......
"Jian Anji, yes, if you want to be ruthless, who can compare with you!" Ye Lin pushed me away with all his might, and his almost dead voice murmured, "I won't come to you again, and I won't come to pester you again." So, now, you go. ”
I stared at him blankly, and finally turned around slowly, and walked towards the door of the villa, not looking back, and forcing myself not to care about the hatred in his eyes! The limbs were numb, the whole body was cold, and every cell clearly felt itself shivering. Really, is it over? This time, it's really over, it's over, it's over my selfishness, and it's over my greed, and I clearly know that there won't be a next time. So at this moment, the cold-blooded and ruthless Jian Anjie will ...... Shed tears. Tears, what a distant memory.
But, should I be thankful, at least this time I remembered how I turned away.
