Chapter 35: Holding Your Happiness
It was late at night, the traffic was gradually decreasing, and the music of insects was loud.
Cheng Ye parked his car in the underground parking lot.
"Wait!" Kidd anxiously stopped her from getting out of the car, quickly unbuckled her seatbelt, and trotted around the front of the car to open the door for her.
"Please, master."
Cheng Ye cooperated with him, got out of the car arrogantly and said, "Butler, did you forget to protect my head?" ”
"Oh! I have forgotten to protect the crown of your noble head, my lord, please punish me as much as you like. Gide sadly bent down and bowed to her, and was hit in the head by her.
"Nerves, it's a pity not to act." Cheng Ye scolded with a smile.
"Really?" Gide looked at her with bright eyes.
Cheng Ye closed the car door and said, "Fake, your acting skills are not qualified." ”
"Have you ever acted?" Gide asked curiously.
Cheng Ye confirmed that the car door was locked, ignored her question, and walked straight to the corridor.
"You've acted, haven't you?" Ji Dexiang discovered the new world, chased her and asked, "What have you played?" ”
"I won't tell you."
"Then I'll search for it myself." As he spoke, he pulled out his phone.
"I admire you if you can find it."
The dark bedroom, with blue light flashing in front of the bed, Ji De lay on the bed, put down his hand holding the mobile phone in a dejected manner, he tried all kinds of search terms, but he couldn't find anything about Cheng Ye except music.
He let out a long breath and turned to look through her resume, and with a sigh of praise in his heart, he raised a proud little cloth sail.
Well?
He stared at the column of the date of birth, zoomed out the page and clicked on the calendar, his eyes staring, and he was worried.
He stared at the ceiling, his eyes burning through it, and he dropped the people upstairs and interrogated him in person.
Upstairs, the same dark room.
Cheng Ye, who was lying on the bed, seemed to feel the burning sensation behind him, picked up his mobile phone and wanted to call Ji De, but was preempted by a phone call.
The rare call made her frown, and she threw her phone aside, letting the ringtone ring again and again.
She answered irritably, and before she could speak, a series of scolding hit her ears.
After the other party finished scolding, she sat up and said angrily, "What's the matter so late?" ”
She reached out to turn on the lamp, listened to the other party's request, and became angry, and the loud voice on the phone was like a few flies circling around her ears at the same time.
"Impossible!" She forcefully refused.
She went to the living room, poured herself a glass of water, and sat on a rocking chair on the balcony with it.
"It's not negotiable."
"Nope."
Sanlian's refusal annoyed the person on the other end of the phone, and the other party didn't know what to say, Cheng Ye shook his hand and smashed the cup against the wall, and the glass slag shattered to the ground.
"I'm not your Cheng family's shelter, you can stuff whoever you want. Even if you give a square dancing aunt, it's better than the children of your unknown relatives. ”
Cheng Ye impatiently turned on the mobile phone and squatted down to pick up a large piece of broken glass.
The sharp woman's voice on the phone spread throughout the living room: I didn't talk about you last time, why did you kick my cousin's son out? How do you know he can't see it? Isn't it a shame for me to run all the way to you and be driven away by your assistant!
"I reimbursed him for his round-trip ticket money, plus accommodation and meal money, wasn't he very happy before leaving?"
The woman's voice became more high-pitched: What a happy thing! I cried at home for two days, and I still don't dare to contact that cousin!
"An adult doesn't even have this ability to resist pressure, it's right to drive him away, I don't accept giant babies here." Cheng Ye smiled disdainfully.
Through the mobile phone, you can imagine the face of a woman eating people: he is still young, and how much he cries when he cries.
Cheng Ye snorted coldly: "Twenty-two is still young?" ”
The woman didn't dwell on the topic with her, and calmed her tone: The cost of living last time is gone, you can give me some more.
"Gone again? It's not been half a month yet, where do you use it? Cheng Ye was angry and asked.
The woman was obviously reluctant to talk more, and her tone was also rushing: You just give it, where is the problem!
Cheng Ye's head seemed to be pressed against something, she closed her eyes and clenched her fists, controlling her anger, "Are you going to buy health supplements again?" ”
Listening to Cheng Ye's tone was quite gentle, the woman took the opportunity to tell the truth: I didn't buy it this time, I bought a batch of goods to sell, and there was an eldest sister who ......
"Mom!! You are crazy?!! ”
The fire erupted in an instant, and Cheng Ye picked up his mobile phone and roared angrily, the power of the sound was like a huge thunder.
"Foolishness, ignorance, unrepentance! Think you've not been cheated enough, right? You think it's easy to get money, don't you? Good! I won't give you any more money in the future, you're so self-conscious!! With that, she threw her phone on the couch angrily.
She strode to the wine cabinet, opened a bottle of foreign wine, and poured her head into her stomach violently, the hot sensation in her throat and chest temporarily soothed her emotions.
Holding her hands on the counter, she calmed down, and after putting the lid on the wine, she found that the transparent bottle was stained red.
She looked down at her right hand, two not-so-deep openings were beading with blood, belated pain surging up the nerve endings.
She casually pulled a few tissues to press the wound and picked up the blood-stained phone on the couch.
Ding-dong-ding-dong.
Gide's short message: Did you sleep?
Cheng Ye sat on the sofa and frowned regretfully. He must have heard it.
Ding-dong-ding-dong.
I miss you, outside the door
Cheng Ye ran to the balcony in a panic to quickly clean up the mess on the ground, and then took a few tissues dipped in water to wipe off the blood stains on the sofa.
Ding-dong-ding-dong.
The balcony of your house is lit, and I know you didn't sleep.
Cheng Ye saw that her injured hand was still slowly bleeding, she took out several tissues and held them in her hand, turned off the light and opened the door.
Gide stood in the doorway in pajamas, carrying a small box in his hand and slippers on his feet.
"I'm ready to go to bed, you should go to bed early." Cheng Ye said with a smile, ready to close the door.
Gide stuck one leg in the doorway, looking at her seriously.
"I'm really sleepy, if I don't sleep anymore, I won't be able to have breakfast with you tomorrow, don't you want to have breakfast with me?" Half of Cheng Ye's body was hidden behind the door and said coquettishly to him.
Gide walked straight past her, turned on the headlights, and saw the blood on her neck, "Hands outstretched." ”
Cheng Ye was startled, how could she feel like she was caught doing something bad, she obediently stretched out her hand, "How did you find out?" ”
"Drop the cup, don't reply to the message, let me stand outside the door and wait for a long time, the main thing is that your neck is stained with blood."
Jidra took her hand, threw away the ball of blood she had held, and led her to sit on the couch.
Cheng Ye blinked guiltily: "I'm sorry." ”
"But I'm not going to forgive you." Gide glanced at her, opened his small medicine box, and took out a pair of tweezers to disinfect with alcohol.
"Forgive me~" She grabbed his sleeve and pouted: "Kiss." ”
Although Gide was angry, he didn't prevent him from kissing her, and when he tasted the wine, he reproached: "Drinking again?!" ”
"Just one bite."
The wine on the wine counter was almost full, and he believed her. "Don't drink any more, okay?"
"Hee-hee-hee. Okay~" Cheng Ye rested his head on his shoulder.
"Fortunately, the wound is not too deep, otherwise I would have to go to the hospital for stitches." Kidd took a whole box of toilet paper and took out a large stack of pads on the back of her hand.
"Do stitches hurt?"
"Do you want to experience it?"
Without warning, she was rinsed directly with saline.
"Ahhh Cheng Ye was so painful that he wanted to retract his hand, but he was pressed down.
"Does it hurt?"
She nodded desperately with red eyes.
"It's good to be painful, and I'll teach you a lesson."
Gide's cold look is rare, and she picks up her phone to capture this moment.
"Shhhh
Gide took two cotton swabs dipped in iodophor to disinfect her, "and I'm still in the mood to take pictures." ”
"Well, there is." She held up her phone in her left hand, timed it, framed the two of them, and then raised a big smile.
After the wound was bandaged, Gide said to her, "Don't get wet, be sure to keep it dry." ”
Cheng Ye looked at him, "Are you very skilled in your movements and often get injured?" ”
"My dad is a veterinarian, and I can still do this simple bandage." Gide put away the medical kit and stood up, his confident expression a bit like that of a family doctor.
"Then I'll be a critter again." Cheng Ye said with a smile.
"Okay, you go to sleep quickly, if you don't sleep again, the sky will be bright."
Cheng Ye sent him to the door, "I wanted to ask you just now." ”
"What?"
She looked closely at the design of his pajamas, which lacked pockets for his jacket and pants, "Did you bring the keys?" ”
Gide's hand froze on the doorknob.
"Didn't bring it?" Cheng Ye looked at his stiff back.
He took a deep breath and turned around and asked, "Can I borrow your couch for one night?" ”
It's not a big room, but it has a big bed.
The two were lying in a quilt, and Gide didn't dare to move at all.
"Are you sure you want to sleep like this?" Cheng Ye looked at him sideways with his head propped up, and couldn't help laughing.
"That's how I sleep."
Gide's whole body was straight against the edge of the bed, and as long as he turned over, he would definitely fall.
"Hiss-" Cheng Ye suddenly covered his hands and gasped.
Gide hurriedly turned over and asked nervously, "What's wrong?" Is it pressed? ”
Cheng Ye hugged him and lay in his arms, smiling triumphantly.
He suddenly realized, "You lied to me! ”
"If I don't lie to you, can you come over?" Cheng Ye held his arm with his left hand, and his injured right hand rested on top of him.
"If I press your hand, the wound will crack open." Gide said worriedly.
"No, just don't move."
Gide really didn't move.
"Are you sleepy?" Cheng Ye straightened his hand and pillowed his head on his arm.
"Not sleepy."
"I'm not sleepy, I don't know if it's past the time to sleep."
Ji De put his arm around her shoulders and couldn't help but be curious: "Don't you have a good relationship with your mother?" He looked down at her expression.
"Well, not good."
"Why?"
Her silence, Ji De thought she was angry, and quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, don't say it if you don't want to, I'm just curious, I don't have to know." ”
Cheng Ye poked his chest, "No, it's that I don't know where to start, it's a little complicated." ”
"Then let's talk slowly later, I'm not in a hurry."
Cheng Ye smiled: "If I don't say it, you will always be curious, right?" ”
“…… Yes. ”
"Will you sleep well?"
"Yes."
"Hehe, then you can ask me and answer, it's easier."
"Is that okay?" Gide cautiously confirmed with her.
"You're my boyfriend, you shouldn't have a secret."
Gide smiled and kissed her loudly on the head. He was so curious that he didn't know which one to ask first: "Hmm...... What was the happiest thing about your childhood? ”
Cheng Ye was stumped by the first question, and she said in embarrassment: "I have no impression of my childhood. ”
"Not at all?"
Cheng Ye shook his head apologetically, "What about you?" Remember? ”
"I remember when I was a child, I picked up a stray dog, and my dad agreed to treat it, which should be the happiest thing for me."
"And after that? Raised? ”
Gide shook his head, "It died soon after, the intestine was necrosis, and although the operation was successful, it was already very old and didn't survive that night. ”
He laughs, "I remember touching it all the time and singing to it." ”
"Ah, it's a sad memory, I'm sorry."
"It's okay, it's been a long time."
He stroked her hair and asked, "Why did you choose music in the first place?" ”
"When I was in elementary school, I was in a choir, and my teacher told me that I was very talented and told me not to give up."
"Just so far?"
"Yes, the process is a bit difficult, but it's all over."
"Was that the conflict with your mother sparked at that time?"
"Our conflicts have been around since I was born." Cheng Ye smiled bitterly.
Gide asked distressedly: "Patriarchy? ”
"Sort of."
"Can you tell me?"
Cheng Ye's thoughts were thousands, and his mood was complicated and low, as if he had seen a familiar and unfamiliar wet cement floor, because there were no dead ends in the south of the world.
The family of three is harmonious at a glance, with the mother cooking in the kitchen, the father watching TV in the living room, and the daughter staying in the room.
Cheng Ye, who had long hair fluttering and was a little childish, rummaged through the boxes and cabinets in the room, she moved the bed out a little, squeezed her head and looked inside, there was nothing but dust.
She sat on the bed looking a little anxious, and rummaged through the cabinets again.
The noise of knocking came out, and the parents in the living room looked at each other and went about their own business.
"Mom!!" The door was slammed open, and Cheng Ye stood at the door in annoyance and shouted at Cheng's mother.
Cheng's mother turned off the stove, "What are you yelling about!" ”
"Did you throw my stuff away again?!" Cheng Ye went to her side and asked.
"What did I throw at you? I haven't even been in your room! Cheng's mother kicked her out of the kitchen.
"My book, thick, white. Why can't I find it if you didn't throw it? ”
"You throw things around yourself, don't try to slap on my head!"
"Every time I put it on the table, you threw it out for me! Didn't I say that you don't need to clean my room, I thank you for doing it, but what are you doing with my things?! If you know what it is, you throw it! ”
"Isn't it just a broken book, I can't understand the messy paintings, what can you do if I throw it!"
"That's my score! What's the point of you throwing away those days I used to stay up?! ”
"How is it meaningless, how can it be sold so much ...... meaningless" Cheng's mother suddenly closed her mouth and turned around to stir-fry.
Cheng Ye looked at her, "What did you say?" ”
"Didn't say anything."
Seeing that she didn't plan to explain, Cheng Ye turned to ask her father, "Dad, what does Mom mean when she says it's sold?" ”
Cheng's father's eyes were still on the TV, "She sold your songbook." ”
Cheng's mother grabbed the spatula and walked out, "Li Xiangguo!" It's not for you not to ......."
"Shut up !! me" Cheng Ye's roar from her chest shocked Cheng's mother, and she choked back with a trembling mouth.
Cheng Ye trembled with anger, closed his eyes, forced himself to calm down, and opened his eyes to look at his mother: "Where did you sell it?" How much was sold? ”
Cheng's mother said truthfully: "It was sold for 3,000 yuan." ”
Seeing that Cheng Ye was expressionless, she continued: "I went to find a music company, and someone just met me after work, and I didn't know how to ask him. He said he was the manager of the company, so I showed it to him. ”
"And then?"
Cheng Mu looked at her still expressionless face and said, "He asked me if this was the case, I saw that you just had this book, and I said yes." He was very happy to give me 3,000 yuan, and praised you for your good writing. ”
Cheng Ye laughed sarcastically, exaggeratedly.
Cheng's mother couldn't understand the meaning of her laughter, thinking that it coincided with herself, "Yes, you don't think it's possible to sell it for as much as three thousand!" ”
"If you are deceived, you can still be complacent, you are the only one in this world." Cheng Ye sneered.
"How did I get lied to? What scammer can spend three thousand to buy you a broken book! ”
"For only 3,000, you can sell my songbook, if someone offers 30,000, will you also sell me? Am I really your own? Cheng Ye looked at Cheng's mother, and his eyes were full of unwillingness to fate.
Cheng's mother's anger surged up, and she pointed at her and said, "How did you grow up when you weren't your own?" I've raised you for more than ten or twenty years, and you still have an opinion on selling you a few songs? ”
"How many? Is it a few songs! That's one hundred and thirty-seven songs!! Cheng Ye's eyes were moist, "You don't know how much effort I have spent!" ”
"How can you give your cousin a red envelope if you don't sell it? His son sets the wine, and we are all going! Cheng Mu said confidently.
"Wine? Ha! I've been waiting for five years and finally got an opportunity, and your one sentence of wine will ruin all my efforts over the years!! ”
"Can't you make up a few more songs! You went to college and your cousin borrowed money from you, don't you have to pay it back?! ”
"Didn't I work hard to pay it back! Who doesn't know that our family is poor! Why save face if you don't have money? Why do you always have to fulfill your face? You're all vampires!! ”
"Okay, you Cheng Ye, if Jiajia hadn't died young, your father wanted to have another one, and I wouldn't have given birth to your daughter! You can't thank your dead brother well! ”
"What a sin! Raised such a white-eyed wolf as you. Cheng's mother cried and cried out for injustice.
Cheng Ye looked at her coldly: "That's really wronged you." ”
"Where are you going?!" Cheng's mother pulled her, "Don't bother your brother to hear it!" ”
……
In the dark bedroom, Cheng Ye said calmly: "After I rushed out of the house, I ran to find Jing Yu, and he took me to play games all day. ”
She smiled: "It's also hard for him, let him, a person who loves painting, leave the studio and accompany me for a day." ”
"Does Brother Tian know these things?"
"He didn't know. He has his own little family, so there's no need to mess with him. ”
"What about your songs?"
"I can only give up, even if I hear songs with similar melodies, or even identical songs, I have no way to prove that those have something to do with me."
Outside the window, the pale blue moonlight came through, and she saw the remaining tears on Jide's face, and stood up in surprise to look at him, "Why are you crying?" ”
Gide took a deep breath, and the tears that had been controlled slowly flowed out again.
Cheng Ye wiped his tears with his sleeve in a panic, and her eyes were red. "Don't cry! I can't see anyone crying. ”
Ji De hugged her, buried his face in her waist and abdomen, and said in a muffled voice: "I feel sorry for you." ”
Cheng Ye regretted it, she shouldn't have told him these old things. She gently touched his head, "Okay, stop crying, I'm going to cry again." ”
Gide sat up and looked at her affectionately, "I'll be a hundred points good to you, no, a thousand points and ten thousand points, so you must have me in your future, okay?" ”
Cheng Ye looked at his seriousness, touched his hair, and replied equally seriously: "Okay." ”
