"It's raining heavily, is it dripping?" He asked.

The clammy and cold clothes on his body had been changed, but for some reason, the cold began to run through his limbs.

Xihe said: "No, it didn't rain at the hotel. ”

She opened her eyes and said nonsense, but Lu Yan didn't find it.

There was silence in the phone, Xi He's confused mind couldn't sort out her thoughts for a while, and she held the phone so close to her ear that she seemed to be able to hear his breathing.

Her eyes were suddenly wet, and her nose was very sour, but she silently did not reveal the slightest.

Lu Yan didn't ask without explicitness, so she pretended not to know anything, but the faint throbbing pain in her heart, the feeling of being depressed, and not being able to breathe was so difficult and unbearable.

She put down her phone and quickly hung up.

As the call was cut off, a drop of crystal crystal broke through the eyelid uncontrollably and fell, dripping on the back of the hand, splashing water, and then the slightest coolness spread into the depths of my heart.

-

Located in the golden stage of the city center, in a dimly lit room, the white club is aimed at the ball on the table, calculating the drop of the shot.

There was a "bang", the cue club struck, the billiards collided with each other, and finally one rolled into the hole with unmistakable accuracy, the batsman straightened up, and everyone else applauded face.

"That's right, the surname Hou, I haven't seen him for a few days, and I've grown a lot." A young man stepped forward and patted him on the back and complimented.

Hou Dihui raised an arrogant smile on his face, that uninhibited gesture was commonplace for such praise, he wiped the head of the gun, and said, "You will go back first later." ”

"No, I'm going to invite you to get drunk." There is humanity.

He smiled: "I won't go if I'm drunk, you guys used to have fun, and the account is on my head." ”

The young man who patted him on the shoulder just now quipped: "Heh, did our coal boss dig a gold mine?" Why are you so good at talking today? ”

The gold mine was not dug up, but thinking of the phone call just now, Hou Dihui was in a mood that couldn't be said to be comfortable: "If you are not happy, you can save me a sum of money." ”

"Who said that he was not happy, it is rare for our Ah Hui to have such a generous time."

While he was laughing, the waiter brought in a man.

At the door, the waiter stopped and bent down slightly to invite her in.

Hou Dihui put down the club, if he said that when he got along with his friends, he had an identity that he couldn't let go of arrogantly; Then facing Ji Yao, a heartfelt smile appeared on his face, showing the side that a young man of his age should have. It's just that when he saw Ji Yao's soaked clothes again, he frowned slightly.

His friends love to joke the most, and when they saw Ji Yao's appearance, someone whistled coaxingly and laughed: "I said that I refused my brother's invitation, it turned out that I was waiting for a beautiful woman here!" ”

His best friend and friend bumped him on the arm: "Hey, I said I found it in the rain, this can't be another foolish account from you, right?" ”

Hou Dihui smiled bitterly in his heart, he hoped that Ji Yao was his foolish account, but a woman like her standing on the top of the sun was out of his reach.

Ji Yao came to Hou Dihui, and after entangled with Xihe in the rain, she called directly to ask where he was, and then looked for him all the way.

The rain had soaked through his clothes, and his hair was still dripping with raindrops, and he looked very embarrassed.

She didn't care, ignored the laughter around her, and stopped in front of Hou Dihui, Ji Yao looked at the man in front of her, and said the first thing she said: "Xihe is back." ”

The smile on Hou Dihui's face disappeared for a moment, only for a moment, and after the change, it was as if nothing had happened.

"Well, I know, she's on TV......" He still responds casually like the reckless boy he did four years ago.

Ji Yao endured the coldness all over her body, she thought of Xihe's attitude towards her, but she couldn't see anything on Hou Dihui's face, she asked directly: "What happened on the night of the class reunion four years ago?" ”

The smile on Hou Dihui's face completely faded, "Why do you suddenly ask like this?" ”

"What does it have to do with me?" Ji Yao hurried to speak at the end of his words.

Hou Dihui's unruly eyes revealed an inexplicable meaning: "She is looking for you?" ”

Ji Yao was about to speak, but was interrupted by him: "Your clothes are wet, here is my lounge, let's go over first, you change your clothes." ”

Before Ji Yao could speak, his wrist was grabbed by him, and he pulled her to lift her feet and leave.

The ridiculous whistle sounded around again, and Ji Yao endured it and kept up with him.

This is really not the place to talk.

The lounge is on the third floor, and the two of them take the elevator all the way up, and when they arrive at the door, Hou Dihui swipes the card to open the door.

After entering, he called and instructed the waiter to bring a set of clothes up, but was interrupted by Ji Yao.

"No need, I'll leave after asking."

Hou Dihui's words stuck in his throat, he looked at the woman in front of him, and finally put down his phone and hung up.

Ji Yao raised his head and looked him in the eye: "Did that incident have anything to do with me in the first place?" ”

There has always been a mystery in her heart that can't be solved, if it weren't for some big hatred, Xihe wouldn't have reacted so fiercely when he saw her, obviously they were so good?!

Or did she actually see her mind early on?

Can...... Impossible, she subconsciously denied it in her heart.

With Xihe's temperament, even if she saw it at the time, then she would only retreat! It's not at all today, four years later, in those gloomy eyes, there is no hiding hatred for her!

"Why do you ask? Xi and her looking for you? Hou Dihui's voice was very soft, light faded away from the arrogance of the past, and there was no momentum of a rich child at all.

"We met, why did she hate me so much? What else do you say don't let me appear in front of her, she sees me disgusting, what did I do? Ji Yao asked, and her tone couldn't hide her excitement when she said the back.

She just apologized for drinking too much that night and didn't take care of Xihe, so that Xihe would be exposed to such a scandal. But she didn't think she had done anything to be sorry for Xihe, except for ......

Ji Yao blinked, turned her head away, and asked Hou Dihui clearly: "Did you do it that night four years ago?" Is it really as it appears in the newspapers? ”

Hou Dihui looked at the delicate face of the girl in front of him with narrow eyes, he didn't show anything on his face, but the guilt in his heart that had never been turned over reminded him that he was not so calm as he seemed on the surface.

"What else did she say?"

What else was said? Ji Yao sneered, she has grown so big, and she has never been so humiliated!

She looked into Hou Dihui's eyes and asked, "Is it really as written in the newspaper?" ”

Hou Dihui's throat moved slightly, and he was silent for more than ten seconds before he said one word: "...... Be! ”

"Have you slept?"

“…… No! ”

Ji Yao didn't care about these results, she was only curious: "What does that have to do with me?" Why does she hate me so much? ”

Hou Dihui said: "...... Probably jealous of you. You are the same age and in the same class, so you can be regarded as growing up together...... She is jealous of your superior family, jealous that you have a higher starting point than her, that you have the love of your parents, and that you have the protection of your brother......"

Hou Dihui racked his brains to think about Xihe's situation, and then used the negative teaching materials to set off Ji Yao, he made it up very smoothly, and he almost thought that way.

But for no reason, the girl stood in front of him weakly in his mind, and the despair in those half-moon eyes could stifle people's breath.

She asked him, "Why are you doing this?" ”

How did he answer at the time?

After a short hesitation, he had actually made up his mind, and he told her: "Xihe, I'm sorry, I can't hurt Yaoyao!" ”

——

The rain is getting heavier and heavier, and as Xi He said, no matter what you encounter, time will not give you any respite.

Mr. Mu Yi wanted to go out, it was to go to the Red Leaf Mountain for the first time to meet with the government, and Xihe followed, but she did not sit in the same car as Mr. Mu Yi.

Looking at the heavier and heavier rain outside the window, her whole person was in a trance, and for a moment she would have a thought that she didn't know where she was.

The car in front suddenly stopped, and Xihe looked through the glass and saw that it was not a red light district in front of him.

She was wondering when she saw Louis get out of the car and come to the back, not knowing what to say.

It should be that Mr. Mu Yi is in trouble, and he is quite anxious, and Louis, who has always been strict and solemn, has anxiety on his face for the first time, and he looks up and looks around, looking for something.

Xihe opened the car door, and it was raining heavily, mixed with the cold wind blowing on his cheeks.

She covered her eyes with one hand, ran to her, and faintly heard from Louis's mouth, what motion sickness, uncomfortable?

"Luis, what's wrong?" Her voice raised slightly, and the rain pounding on the carriage drowned out all sound.

Louis's stern voice explained: "Mr. suddenly got motion sickness. He paused before remembering that Xihe was local, so he asked, "Do you know where there is a pharmacy around here?" ”

Someone next to him also came down, and when he heard it, he raised his arm and looked at the time on his wrist, reminding: "There are still twenty minutes before the meeting starts, Mr. Mu Yi ...... him."

"Manager Liu, Mr. is not feeling well, I think everything should be based on Mr.'s body." Louis was displeased to interrupt the speaker, his voice tinged with sternness.

Xihe looked at Mr. Mu Yi in the car, his eyes were tightly closed, his eyelashes covered the blue eyes, his face was pale, and his lips were abnormally white.

She thought for a moment and said to Louis, "You wait for me first, I have something to relieve somewhere." ”

Louis raised an eyebrow, and before he could ask anything, Xihe had already turned and ran back to the car she was in.

After a while, he came back, holding a bag in his hand, and found a small box inside.

Xihe opened it and took out the ginger slices she had prepared for herself, her body was weak, and all the functions of her body after being cured of leukemia were not like ordinary people. Even sometimes when I take a short ride, I will feel dizzy and nauseous to the point of vomiting.

So every time she goes out, ginger slices are an indispensable thing for her!

No one knew about this little habit, Mr. Mu Yi opened his eyes, Xihe explained in a low voice, and wiped him under his nose.

Then straightened up, she was a little embarrassed, Louis saw it immediately when she arrived, and directly arranged: "Xihe, you can sit with Mr. to take care of him." ”

"Manager Liu, let's go to the back."

He made arrangements without question, and it was difficult for others to refute anything.

When she got into the car, Xihe's mobile phone rang, and every time she went out with Mr. Mu Yi, she always habitually turned it to mute, as a secretary, she couldn't let the electronic device disturb the boss under any circumstances.

When she took it out, she was a little surprised to see the name of the caller.

But still answered.

Lu Yan's voice was so cold that he couldn't hear anything else, he asked her directly, "How is Mr. Mu Yi?" Is it really motion sickness? ”

Xi He was inexplicable, and his heart beat slightly in an instant: "It's motion sickness, resting with your eyes closed." ”

"Be aware of strangers approaching, let me know." He commanded.

Xihe glanced at Mr. Mu Yi beside her, she lowered her eyes, answered, and hung up the phone.

She thought that the later she went, the more closely protected she was at the beginning, and they weren't there...... But it turned out that they had always been there.

-

Hidden in an inconspicuous sedan in the vehicle, the phone was hung up, Lu Yan stared at the mobile phone in his hand, his cold expression made it impossible to see what he was thinking, but the silent aura emanating from him still made people feel a little depressed.

Han Yi twisted his body uncomfortably and asked him, "How is it?" Is it really motion sickness? ”

Lu Yan put away the phone, looked up again, and he answered lightly, looking ahead with inky eyes and admonishing: "Don't lose it." ”

"Don't worry, you still can't trust my technology?" Han Yi is full of self-confidence.

All the way to Momiji Mountain, there were a lot of people who came to the meeting this time, and it didn't look like an ordinary meeting in form.

According to the usual practice, Xihe made a cup of tea for Mr. Mu Yi in advance and placed it in front of his seat.

The bigwigs came in one by one, and she took the opportunity to retreat.

She doesn't need to go in to record anything in such a meeting, Zhang Yi will arrange everything.

Walking in the empty corridor, Xi He walked towards the window at the end, and the crisp sound of the short heels stepping on the marble floor, people were probably lonely to a certain extent, and they even thought that such a sound was extremely beautiful.

When she came to the window, she stood still, through a layer of glass, the rain outside was getting heavier and heavier, the red leaves on the mountain had sparsely fallen, and the bare tree trunks were no longer the beautiful scenery she saw last time, a desolate and sentimental indescribable feeling.

The four seasons change, Xihe sometimes often sighs that everything becomes so fast, she thinks of people who are things and people, but she never calms down to feel the changes of the four seasons of nature.

Look, autumn is almost over, winter is coming soon, and in a few days, it will turn from rain to snow!

Xihe thought of the winter in S City in his memory, it was really cold, and the community often did not heat in advance without a single snow, and the water in the pipe froze at the coldest time.

The most painful thing in Xihe is to wash up and wash his face every morning......

Thinking of the tangled and had to do the picture, a faint smile rose on the corner of her mouth, but the bitterness in her heart became more and more vigorous.

There was the sound of footsteps behind her, and Xi He quickly lowered his head, and a pair of leather boots stood beside her.

Camouflage pants, straight legs, no need to guess to know who it is.

She suppressed the sadness that welled up in her heart, and then raised her head with a gentle smile on her face, as if nothing had happened: "Don't you have to go over there and guard?" ”

Lu Yan looked at her sideways silently, the smile on that face was very charming, the goose egg face was no more and no less, it gave people a very comfortable feeling, and the crooked eyes seemed to blend with the autumn breeze, it was hard to imagine that the dark and dull scene that I had seen on the street before would appear in these eyes.

The elegant and light temperament is just appearance, she has always protected herself very well, like a hedgehog, when she encounters danger, she can shrink up and fight back with the sharp thorns on her body.

Lu Yan looked away, and replied to her in an indifferent voice: "Han Yi is there." ”

Xihe raised his arm and put his hand on the windowsill, the raindrops outside fell a little urgently, she saw a red leaf finally overwhelmed and swayed away from the branch and fell, she asked the man next to her: "Lu Yan, when was this mountain full of red maple trees planted?" ”

"Four years ago."

Xihe smiled: "No wonder I didn't know that there was such a place in S City, I was amazed when I saw it for the first time." ”

The first time she saw him, she had to dodge......

Lu Yan put his hands behind his back, his spine was straight, this was a habit developed by years of training, his voice was cold, and he couldn't distinguish other emotions from it, asking questions that he had always wanted to ask in his heart but couldn't ask.

"Are you afraid of me?"

"What?" Xihe turned his head to look at him.

The cold side face has distinct facial features, tough eyes, and the temperament exuded by a soldier is intimidating.

He was indifferent and calm, and the arrogance between his eyebrows revealed a hint of condescension, which overshadowed all the emotions of being afraid of being seen: "The first time you saw me, you seemed to be very afraid of me. ”

First time meeting......

She was in Mr. Mu Yi's suite, and he had an awe-inspiring temperament in a military uniform, and a single look could repel all her defenses.

Xihe doesn't know where her arrogance comes from, she has a bad reputation, she should have hid in her shell, never come out, and don't come to face these people and things that remind her of the past all the time. Humiliation, ridicule...... She doesn't know how much magnanimity she will have to withstand those?

But she came back, in the name of work...... Despite erecting the shell of his whole body to resist the damage given by the outside world, he still has an unconscious inferiority complex in the face of him.

That's right, her inferiority complex makes her sometimes afraid to look him in the eye!

Of course, she couldn't tell him the truth, she smiled and said: "Yes, I'm afraid of death, you have a gun, and you stand in front of me without smiling......" After a pause, she said embarrassedly: "I have never seen such a battle." ”

Is that really the case?

Lu Yan was silent, his inky pupils were a little cold, there was a forbidden area that everyone couldn't touch, including him!

Just like what Ji Yao said in the rain curtain, none of them were by her side when she needed it most!

After so many years, I am not qualified to ask her with a gesture of pity, what happened at the beginning?!

Xihe took a light breath, she raised her foot and took a small step back, looking at the man in front of her: "Mr. Mu Yi should be coming out soon, I'll go back first." ”

Lu Yan didn't say anything, she smiled at him, with the alienation in her politeness, she had learned rational restraint.

It was enough to restrain the warmth she had caught in her hands to comfort her for the rest of her life, and they should keep their distance until she returned to the United States!

The sound of stepping on the ground with low heels was empty and lonely, each sound struck the eardrums, faintly painful, Lu Yan's brows were tightly furrowed, and the violence in his eyes flashed so that he almost couldn't control himself.

He admitted that the expression on Xihe's polite smile at him was really dazzling.

——

Xihe just used the excuse of the end of the meeting as an excuse to withdraw from Lu Yan's side, but she didn't expect that the meeting would really end early.

Mr. Mu Yi was the first to come out of it, his face was very ugly, exuding a low-pressure momentum, like a bomb that could explode at any time.

He spoke fluent English to Louis about something, and he spoke so fast that he couldn't really hear it.

She followed silently behind her, until she came to the car, Mr. Mu Yi went to the side to make a call, and Zhang Yi rushed out of it.

He came to Xihe, waited together, and whispered to Xihe: "It's so noisy inside, you haven't seen that scene." ”

Until now, Zhang Yi still has palpitations, he has never seen the boss so angry.

Xihe was slightly dumbfounded: "What's the matter?" ”

"The investment can't be negotiated, and the developer wants to increase the weight, but Mr. Mu Yi disagrees." Zhang Yidao.

The fluent English behind him, with anger that could not be concealed, Xihe was also a little frightened when he heard it.

。

On the way back, the atmosphere in the car was so oppressive that people didn't dare to breathe heavily, Xi He looked at her nose and nose, she was always easy to shrink the value of her existence, and it was almost difficult for people to notice her when she was silent.

When the car arrived at the hotel, Mr. Mu Yi got out of the car, because he was angry and made him forget to speak Chinese, and directly ordered that they didn't have to follow, they could get off work!

Xi He breathed a sigh of relief, but Zhang Yi's excitement was beyond words, and when Mr. Mu Yi and Louis disappeared, he turned around and invited her: "How about Miss Xi He, don't you have to be jet lag now?" Come with me to get drunk tonight? ”

Xihe couldn't adapt to the noise in the bar, and she didn't like that atmosphere, so she refused directly: "Why don't you go, didn't that little girlfriend of yours come with you?" ”

I heard that it was the black chick I met in a bar last time, and Zhang Yi also brought it back when he returned to the United States, and then the two dated.

Zhang Yi paid enough rent for two years directly for that little girlfriend, and this deed floated into Xi He's ears, and Xi He only felt incredible.

Who knew that when she asked, Zhang Yi blushed and was embarrassed, a sturdy young man of one meter seven or eight, in her heart, he was a capable, elite-like existence, at this time, Xi He was really a little uncomfortable.

Zhang Yi said: "She, as long as she is in charge of Meimeidi in the United States, she is waiting for me to go back and summon." ”

"Poof." Xihe was amused by his words, if it wasn't for her racism, how could black people be beautiful?

Zhang Yi patted her on the shoulder, and didn't go back to the hotel, he left directly by car.

-

Xi He returned to her room, away from the hustle and bustle, she took a shower, changed into pajamas, and her body was more relaxed than ever.

When she came out, she made herself a cup of coffee, then held a book and sat on the sofa to quietly enrich herself.

Sometimes I don't think about what I have, but the depression in my heart is gradually dissipating, except for the casual sigh when she occasionally turns the pages.

The night passed quickly, and Xihe was woken up the next day by a quick knock on the door.

Zhang Yi's voice clearly penetrated through the door panel: "Xihe, are you awake?" Hurry up, something is wrong......"
