The person who came was Lu Jingcheng.

Shang Yucheng was startled, she hurriedly turned her head, "Jing Cheng, when did you come?" She looked at Lu Jingcheng's face and said with a smile, "It scared us." ”

Lu Jingcheng glanced at him, "I just came in." Didn't you say I'd pick you up at nine o'clock? ”

Shang Yucheng glanced up at the wall clock, and sure enough, it was exactly nine o'clock. Knowing that Lu Jingcheng was coming, he actually joked with Xianglin so carelessly - wouldn't it be a big trouble if Lu Jingcheng listened to it?

"What? When a man gets married, a woman gets married, even if you have a sweetheart, you don't have to be so shy, right? Lu Jingcheng glanced at Xianglin, who was slightly nervous, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Yucheng and I will definitely buy a dowry for you, so that you will be beautiful." I just don't know who the other party is? Let Yucheng take a look at it for you. ”

Xianglin looked at Shang Yucheng, Shang Yucheng hurriedly smiled, "Naturally, you don't need to say this, although Xianglin has been with me for a short time, he is really likable." I'll do my part. After speaking, she looked at her watch, "Second Young Master, please take care of yourself first, I will change my clothes and let's leave." ”

Lu Jingcheng smiled and nodded, turned around and walked out of the room.

Xianglin went over and closed the door gently, and then he breathed a sigh of relief and said softly, "But it scared me." ”

Shang Yucheng hurriedly made a silent gesture and asked her to help put on her skirt.

The New Year's Day dance party is a tradition of Huijin Department Store, and it is also the meaning of taking this opportunity to gather people from all walks of life. Feng Shui takes turns, and the eldest young master of the Lu family, who is in the limelight at the ball every year, has now lost his rights and hides at home and does not come out, while the second young master Lu Jingcheng, who has always been dispensable, has become the master of this year's ball, and even his little-known fiancée has become the focus of attention.

Shang Yucheng knew that he couldn't hide from today's entertainment no matter what, so he had to accompany Lu Jingcheng around the crowd.

The time was slowly approaching midnight, and Shang Yucheng's whole body was already stiff, and his feet in high heels were so painful that he lost consciousness. Fortunately, although it was a social event today, it was not difficult to cope with the fact that everyone was just drinking and chatting and dancing happily for fun. Shang Yucheng drank a lot of wine with everyone, and the strength of the wine slowly increased, and the soreness in his body improved.

By going to the bar to get a drink, Shang Yucheng finally broke away from everyone and hid to the side.

"Give me a glass of honey water." Shang Yucheng stroked his hot face and said to the bar.

The waiter responded politely, and was about to turn around to pour water, when someone next to him said, "A glass of honey water, thank you!" ”

When Shang Yucheng heard the voice, she unconsciously smiled, she turned her head, "Ye Shen." ”

Ye Shen crossed his arms on the bar, turned his head to look at her and smiled.

"On the day of the big festival - why don't you drink and carnival, why do you drink honey water?" These words sounded like a sarcasm of Ye Shen's style, but Shang Yucheng had a gentle smile on his face.

"The smell of wine is too strong, not as light and sweet as honey water-" Ye Shen took two glasses of honey water from the waiter's hand and handed one to Shang Yucheng's hand, with a narrow smile on his face, and said with a pun, "There are many spirits at this dance, but honey water is rare." Scarcity is expensive – and it's no surprise that I'm here. ”

Shang Yucheng smiled and shook his head.

She probably drank too much, her cheeks flushed slightly, and her eyes were slightly misty. Ye Shen's words to make fun of her openly and secretly did not arouse her desire to ridicule her, but made her feel sweet and relaxed.

She took a large sip of honey water, and the slightly sweet liquid rolled down her throat, so cold that she frowned.

The water at the dance is probably the same as the coffee in the teahouse, but it just means something, and no one cares if it tastes right.

Ye Shen noticed Shang Yucheng's expression, and reached out to take the cup she was holding aside, "Don't drink this." ”

Shang Yucheng was stunned and sighed, "I can't get out of my body today, and I drank a lot of wine." No matter how good it tastes, it's better than wine—"

Ye Shen looked at her rare delicate appearance, and there was a moment of surprise.

Shang Yucheng didn't pay attention to his expression, probably because of the drunkenness, she frowned and tapped her forehead with her fingers.

Ye Shen's heart suddenly moved, and he took her hand, "You come with me-"

Before Shang Yucheng could react, he had already been dragged up by Ye Shen.

"Hey—" Shang Yucheng shouted helplessly, but saw Ye Shen familiarly bypass the bar and pull her out of the back door.

The dance party was lively, and no one would pay attention to the movement here. Shang Yucheng put his mind at ease and simply let Ye Shen pull her out of the hotel.

The winter night breeze was blowing, Shang Yucheng was only wearing a thin dress and long skirt, beautiful and beautiful, and the cold was indeed cold, as soon as she felt the cold, she had an extra tweed jacket with body temperature.

"It's just a few steps away, you bear with me." Ye Shen wrapped the coat draped on Shang Yucheng's body tightly, like a child hiding a candy, and said with a warm and slightly mysterious smile.

Shang Yucheng looked at Ye Shen, who was only wearing a shirt and vest, funny, "Where are you going to take me?" ”

"You'll know when you get there." Ye Shenfu took her hand again and walked forward.

In the cold street, a warmth from Ye Shen's palm to Shang Yucheng's heart, she tilted her head slightly and looked up at the man beside her, the dim street lamp reflected his face, as if coated with a thin layer of light, making her heart open up.

"This is it." Ye Shen took two steps and stepped forward to open the door of a small shop, "Hurry up and go in and warm up!" ”

Shang Yucheng looked up and saw that it was a small wonton restaurant, which was steaming and boiling, filled with a few wisps of white mist, showing a bit of ordinary life.

It was about late in the day, and there was no one in the small store, Shang Yucheng walked in with a curious look, and saw a middle-aged woman dressed plainly and cleanly cleaning the table in the store.

"What are you doing standing stupidly, sitting." Ye Shen said and pulled out a chair.

Shang Yucheng glanced at him with a new look on his face, and said as he sat down, "You brought me here to eat wontons?" ”

Ye Shen nodded, "Boss lady, two bowls of wontons!" ”

While the proprietress was busy with the work in her hands, she responded cheerfully, looked up at the visitor, and said in surprise, "It turned out to be Mr. Ye!" You're taking care of our business again? ”

As she spoke, the proprietress washed her hands with hot water and lowered the white wontons into the pot with boiling water on the side.

"When you drink too much wine, drinking half a bowl of wonton soup hot is the best hangover." Ye Shen smiled and said to Shang Yucheng, "This restaurant is a real time-honored brand, and it tastes amazing." ”

Shang Yucheng looked at Ye Shen sitting opposite, wearing a neatly ironed high-end handmade shirt, sitting on a simple wooden table and chair, looking a little nondescript. She couldn't help but smile, "You come here often?" ”

Ye Shen understood what she meant, and nodded with a smile, "What?" Do you think I'll only drink wine and eat steak? ”

Shang Yucheng smiled and refused to answer.

Ye Shen pursed his lips, "So you don't know me too well, especially my advantages." I'm different—" He looked at Shang Yucheng with a smile in his eyes, "I've seen your good qualities early on—" He paused, "You're good-looking!" ”

Shang Yucheng couldn't stop it, and the proprietress who came over with the wontons happened to listen to Ye Shen's skinless and faceless remarks, and pursed her lips and smiled.

Shang Yucheng glared at Ye Shen embarrassedly, took the bowl, lowered his head and raised the spoon to drink the soup.

The proprietress happily put another bowl in front of Ye Shen, "Mr. Ye is right, I think this young lady is not worse than a movie star!" ”

"It's not bad-" Ye Shen deliberately said in an exaggerated tone, "It's just glamorous!" ”

Shang Yucheng was really embarrassed, and looked up at Ye Shen with a look of compromise and begging for mercy, Ye Shen stopped praising her appearance with a smile, and instead exchanged a few words of greeting with the proprietress on the side.

"So you really come here often?" Shang Yucheng drank the soup slowly, incredulously. The dignified young master of the Ye family, how could he come to eat in such an inconspicuous small restaurant?

Ye Shen put down the spoon in his hand and looked up at her, "If I hadn't been born in such a world, I would have wanted to open such a small restaurant." "A shallow smile appeared on the corner of his mouth unconsciously, his eyes drifted farther away, I cooked, my wife boiled soup, and the child dozed off on the table over there when he was tired of playing-" He looked up at Shang Yucheng, "and then woke up to find that Mr. had not done any of the homework he had asked him to do, so we had to light the lamp and boil oil to cope with his homework-"

Even if it weren't for the current world, it would probably not be Young Master Ye's turn to open a restaurant. Probably thinking that what he said was a bit ridiculous, Ye Shen laughed first, "This is the fireworks in the world!" ”

Shang Yucheng didn't smile, she looked at Ye Shen with a touch of emotion on her face.

She had never seen this side of Ye Shen, so simple, with some childish innocence and stupidity - there was no haze of war, and there was no ugliness of people's hearts. There is only a sense of tranquility and warmth.

"Eat it quickly, it won't taste good if it's cold." Ye Shen saw her put down the spoon and urged softly.

Shang Yucheng nodded lightly, scooped a wonton and put it in his mouth, biting through the wonton skin, and suddenly a smell of meat spread on his tongue, like a homely taste he had tasted when he was a child.

The two stopped talking, just quietly eating the wontons in the bowl, as if they had always been like this, eating a home-cooked meal as a matter of course.

When he finished eating, Ye Shen got up and went to pay the bill, standing there not knowing what to say to the proprietress, and the two of them looked at Shang Yucheng with a smile. She blushed and her heart beat for no reason, so she had to stand up, walk to the door while sorting out her clothes, and wait for Ye Shen to come out.

Ye Shen knew that Shang Yucheng was embarrassed, so he hurriedly walked over and opened the door, turned around to say hello to the proprietress and walked out of the restaurant with Shang Yucheng.

The wind seemed to be stronger, but perhaps it was the bowl of hot wontons that made Shang Yucheng feel cold.

From time to time, a few young men and women passed by, either reserved or wanton, taking advantage of this joyful festive atmosphere to enjoy their youth.

Shang Yucheng looked at them with a smile, only to feel that he was also infected with a little vitality, and the depression in his heart faded a lot.

"Yucheng—" Ye Shen suddenly called.

"Huh?" Shang Yucheng turned to look at him.

Ye Shen's eyes suddenly became hot when he looked at her, and Shang Yucheng couldn't help but get nervous.

After a pause, Ye Shen reached out and took her into his arms and hugged her tightly.

The sound of the wind brushed past his ears, as if with the effect of intoxication, so that Shang Yucheng could no longer hear anything other than his own heartbeat.

She suddenly felt extremely relieved, as if this hug was something she had been waiting for for a long time, and it was also as if there had always been such a person by her side, such an embrace......

I don't know how long it took for Ye Shen to let go of her, and looked at her face cautiously, "You're not angry?" ”

Shang Yucheng didn't expect him to say such a sentence, he turned around and left with a red face, but was pulled back by Ye Shen.

"Shang Yucheng - you are not allowed to leave!" He firmly held Shang Yucheng's hand, "Don't leave today, and don't leave in the future—" He looked at her, his voice extremely solemn, "You and I want to be with you." ”

Shang Yucheng looked at his expression, paused, and suddenly became a little timid, she subconsciously pushed Ye Shen's hand, "I-"

"I know you have me in your heart, just as I have you in my heart." Ye Shen looked at her, "Let me protect you from now on and fulfill your wish for you." His voice suddenly softened, "I'm never going to let myself be absent again." ”

This is probably the most beautiful thing Shang Yucheng has heard in these lonely six years. Shang Yucheng looked at Ye Shen, the corners of his eyes sparkling.

Finally, she nodded slightly.

"You promised?" Ye Shen was overjoyed and clenched her hand and asked.

Shang Yucheng paused, nodded again, looked at Ye Shen's ecstatic expression, and unconsciously showed a smile.

Ye Shen took her into his arms and hugged her body tightly.

Perhaps only he understood how difficult Shang Yucheng's step was and how much courage it took to take him.

He lowered his head and kissed her hair lovingly, a faint fragrance lingering from her hair, and vaguely, there was a bit of the breath of the girl who passed by six years ago.

Shang Yucheng leaned on Ye Shen's chest and gently closed his eyes. She knew that after she woke up tomorrow, she would definitely question her decision at this time, but she had never been so close to happiness, let her see the little light of happiness, how could she be willing to give up?

By the time Shang Yucheng and Ye Shen returned to the hotel, the guests had already begun to leave. Shang Yucheng returned his coat to Ye Shen, and said with an unnatural face, "I've been out for so long, I'm afraid Jing Cheng is already looking for me-"

It's no wonder that she reacted like this, but a moment ago, she was still in love with Ye Shen, but now she wants to walk away to accompany others, even if the two of them know whether it is fake or not, they will always feel unspeakable.

Ye Shen knew Shang Yucheng's thoughts, and he smiled, "You go quickly." We'll talk about that tomorrow. ”

Shang Yucheng was even more moved in her heart, but there were people coming and going, and she couldn't say anything, so she had to smile and turn around.

After looking around, but didn't see Lu Jingcheng's figure, Shang Yucheng thought about it suspiciously, and said in his heart, could it be that he drank too much and hid somewhere to fall asleep?
