Chapter 5: The Autumn of 18 (5)
Gu Yunchen paused for a moment and continued slowly, "I'm also worried about you—"
Meng Yi'er's tears couldn't be controlled anymore, she buried her face in her knees, her body trembled slightly, her tears were no longer controllable, and they flowed down in a plop, "Brother-"
Gu Yunchen on the other end of the phone heard her sobbing, got anxious, and comforted softly, "Xiao Yi, don't be afraid, my brother will always be with you-"
After a long time, Meng Yi'er was tired of crying, so she stopped, and Gu Yunchen waited quietly on the other end of the phone for her to finish venting.
She coughed lightly twice and cleared her throat, "Brother, I'm fine, don't worry, don't tell your uncle and aunt, so as not to worry them." It's late at night over there, so get some rest. ”
Hearing Gu Yunchen's faint "um", Meng Yier hung up the phone.

It was already dark, Gu Yunchen was still sitting in the office, hung up Meng Yi'er's phone, and Leng Yi's face showed worry.
He frowned slightly, stood up, walked to the big floor-to-ceiling window, and looked at the traffic below, the lights were bright and green, and he was a little distracted.
Thinking of Meng Yi'er's out-of-control emotions on the phone just now, his heart couldn't calm down for a long time, and he didn't know when her little changes could always easily affect his heart, which made him very annoyed.
After pondering for a moment, he walked to the desk, his slender fingers quickly dialed a string of numbers, and the phone rang with a "beep", and it was connected.
"Young Master, what are your orders?" A man's clear voice came.
Gu Yunchen's commanding voice did not carry a trace of emotion, "Yuanxiao, book me a ticket to Haishi." ”
"Young Master, do you book it for tomorrow morning?"
"No, now—"
"Yes, young master-" Tang Yuanxiao didn't ask any more, his father was the housekeeper of the Gu family, he grew up with Gu Yunchen since he was a child, and he knew Gu Yunchen's taciturn nature.
Gu Yunchen hung up the phone and strode out of the company, and the driver was already waiting downstairs.

When Meng Yier woke up, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon, she rubbed her eyes, got out of bed, and looked out the window.
The weather was gloomy and gloomy, enveloping the entire sea market, just as Meng Yi'er was in the mood.
She yawned and stretched, the aches and pains in her body fading away.
She looked out the window, the hotel she stayed in was the largest hotel in the city, and it was also the highest hotel, and the top floors overlooked the entire city. She lives on the top floor.
Meng Yier lamented the great changes in the sea market in the past ten years.
She looked east and could see some old buildings in the distance, where she remembered living with her parents as a child.
Some vague memories of his childhood came to his mind, and Meng Yi'er's bright eyes drooped and he sighed softly.
She quickly freshened up, changed into comfortable clothes, picked up her backpack, and went out.
It was still early, and she didn't know where to go, so she just walked aimlessly and watched.
It was already late autumn, and the leaves were gradually withering and yellowing, and the autumn flies blowing, and the dead leaves flutter in the wind, and finally fall into the dust.
Meng Yi'er picked up a dead leaf on the ground, looked at it blankly, and suddenly wanted to cry.
In this city, she has no relatives, no friends, only endless painful memories.
But this is where she was born, and it is the city where she spent eight of her happiest years, where hope was shattered for her to live.
Walking and walking, she unknowingly came to the place where she lived when she was a child.
In the alley in front, she used to play here with her friends when she was a child, and she would stand here obediently every day when she came back from school, waiting for her father to come back from work.
Every time Dad came back, he would pick her up high, spin her twice, she would giggle and laugh, and then Daddy's generous palm would take her little hand home.
My mother would gently hold her hand every time, go to the end of the alley to buy vegetables, and buy her snacks that she liked to eat.
In her heart, her parents love her very much, why has she become like this now.
The once small building behind the alley has been covered by high-rise buildings, and she can no longer find the home she once had.
Tears poured from her eyes, blurring her eyes, and she looked in the direction of her former home, as if she saw her parents smiling towards her.
They called her name, "Xiao Yi——, Xiao Yi—"
