Chapter 5: She's taking a bath
The scenery outside the car window is very familiar, and he is very embarrassed with the reflection of a phoenix crown in the car window, and Ye Mingjin's thoughts are flying.
From last week's twentieth birthday, to yesterday's certificate, to today's wedding, to some fragments of the year with Ji Yishao, and to the years when I didn't fight or scramble, I tried to be stable and single-mindedly looking for my master......
She calculated that the master had not moved somewhere, but she couldn't figure out the specific location, it could only be that the master had imposed some prohibition so that people could not find it.
Master must have had an accident, otherwise why wouldn't he come to her?
Her heart was like layers of dark clouds, which made her a little breathless.
Ye Mingjin took a deep breath and tried to stay calm, but he didn't feel that his nose was sour, his eyes were hot, and in an instant, it was like lightning splitting the dark clouds, and tears were raining down.
There was no heart-rending crying, Ye Mingjin was quiet even crying.
She just stared out the window, tears sliding down her cheeks and dripping down her chin.
didn't know that her silent crying seemed to others to be as painful as a little beast licking its wounds alone.
Suddenly, a handkerchief appeared in front of him.
Ye Mingjin lowered his eyes and looked at the pale fingers holding the handkerchief, took it, did not look back, just raised his eyes and swept over the man reflected in the car window, his voice was as soft as if soaked in tears, "Thank you." ”
"Hmm." Ji Yizhao's gaze moved from her face to the driver in front of her, and said in a deep voice: "Drive slowly." ”
The car drove slowly, enough for Ye Mingjin's tears to soak the handkerchief, enough for the dark clouds accumulated in her heart to gradually disperse.
After the rain of tears, the clouds open and the moon shines.
Ye Mingjin, who gradually calmed down, felt the wetness in his hands, and was a little surprised that he was crying wantonly in front of the man who met him on the first day, and he was also surprised that there are still people who use traditional things like handkerchiefs.
She showed the handkerchief to Ji Yizhao apologetically, "It's wet, I'll return it to you when I'm done." ”
"Okay." Ji Yizhao looked at the girl in front of him who was crying and her nose was red, a pair of beautiful apricot eyes became clearer and brighter after being washed by tears, and the corners of her eyes and eyebrows showed the tranquility of the first sunny day after the rain, but she didn't feel pity.
Ye Mingjin was a little uncomfortable by Ji Yizhao, tried to think of a topic, and asked, "Are you really his brother?" ”
She only knew Ji Yishao, the young master of the Ji family, but she had never heard of a big young master.
Ji Yizhao said: "Half-sibling." ”
"Oh." Ye Mingjin lowered his eyes and fiddled with the copper coin on his wrist, feeling that he was involved in a not very good gossip, so he didn't plan to ask more.
Unexpectedly, Ji Yizhao, who was beside him, continued: "After my mother died, I was sent abroad at the age of ten, and this is the first time I have come back. ”
A simple sentence, a lot of information, and how many plots of the struggle of the wealthy that are not for outsiders are hidden.
Ye Mingjin lowered his eyes and looked at the copper coin on his wrist, thinking of the situation of a ten-year-old child alone in a foreign country, and unconsciously thinking of the situation when he was in the orphanage, he couldn't hide his sigh: "Then you have a hard time, right?" ”
Ji Yizhao didn't expect to get such a response.
For so many years, everyone felt that he had money to spend abroad and someone to take care of, and even forgot about his existence, but no one ever cared about whether he was living a hard life or not.
Sure enough, his little bride is still so kind and soft in her heart.
All kinds of miserable and difficult experiences are at his fingertips, which can make his little bride feel distressed and pitiful, but Ji Yizhao thought about it again and again, and the hardships and pains that he was originally going to say rolled on the tip of his tongue a few times, and finally turned into two words: "It's okay."
Fortunately, he persevered until now.
Fortunately, it was still in time.
The two simple words were sad and tired that couldn't be hidden, so Ye Mingjin couldn't help but glance at it, and a trace of pity rose in his heart.
For a while, the two looked at each other speechlessly.
In the end, Ji Yizhao broke the silence, "Your bracelet is very chic." ”
Ye Mingjin lowered his eyes and looked at his bracelet, revealing a somewhat peaceful look, and a little more smile between his eyebrows, "I made it myself." ”
"Clever girl." Ji Yizhao also smiled and said, "The copper coin looks like it's been a few years old. ”
"It's been more than ten years," Ye Mingjin's eyes were full of nostalgia, "I had it when I was a child." ”
Ji Yizhao's slender fingers rubbed the pendant hidden in his clothes on his chest, looked at the copper coin and asked, "Are there only three?" ”
"Well," Ye Mingjin lowered his eyes and looked at the copper coin on his wrist, and the corners of his lips curled, "Three lives and all things." ”
Because of this relaxed and intimate topic, the atmosphere between the two has softened a lot.
……
The car drove all the way to the villa area.
After Ye Mingjin got out of the car, he raised his eyes and saw the antique Dongli Villa, and looked around, the decoration style of the villa was simple and pastoral, and she liked it very much.
Turning his head to look at Ji Yizhao, who was pushed off the car by the assistant, this newlywed husband who had only known him for a day, Ye Mingjin, who had calmed down, said very seriously: "According to the law, it is not you who got the certificate with me, it is considered a fraudulent marriage, and it has no legal effect." ”
The ink eyes raised, Ji Yizhao looked at her, opened his lips and asked the follow-up, "So?" ”
Ye Mingjin said: "Do you want a divorce? ”
Ji Yizhao didn't answer the rhetorical question, "Do you want to?" ”
Ye Mingjin nodded, "If ...... is okay, of course she wants to do it immediately!"
didn't wait for her to finish speaking, but Ji Yizhao asked: "Can you maintain the status quo first?" ”
Ye Mingjin blinked his eyes and said seriously, "I don't help you much." ”
"Really?"
Under Ji Yizhao's gaze, Ye Mingjin nodded heavily and calmly analyzed: "I am just the adopted daughter of the Ye family, and Mingzhu is the real daughter of the Ye family." Isn't there a saying in your circle that only those who are not favored will marry? ”
As soon as he said that, he remembered that the last sentence not only showed that he was not favored, but also poked Ji Yizhao, and Ye Mingjin added: "I mean myself." ”
"You're right, I'm not favored in the first place. However," Ji Yizhao tilted his head slightly, "How do you know that it won't help me?" ”
"What helps?" Ye Mingjin said: "I don't participate in your family's infighting. ”
Under Ye Mingjin's somewhat guarded eyes, Ji Yizhao slowly stroked his knees, his eyelashes drooped, and the whole person looked innocent and pitiful, "Help me feel the life of a normal person, okay?" ”
Ye Mingjin's gaze fell on his lap, and then moved to his face, seeing him looking down at his leg, he was depressed and pitiful.
Thinking that today he indulged himself to go to the banquet hall and didn't go to the new house, and let her vent and bring her here, his heart was sour and soft, and he couldn't help nodding slightly: "I can not divorce for the time being, but I need three chapters of the law." ”
"Okay." Ji Yizhao responded directly.
Ye Mingjin thought about it seriously and said the content of the three chapters of the covenant: mutual non-interference, peaceful coexistence, and mutual help.
Ji Yizhao listened to the twelve words of the "three chapters", and the corners of his lips flashed with an imperceptible doting, "Listen to you." ”
Uncle Lin, the housekeeper, stepped forward with a smile on his face, and there were two tea cups filled with tea soup on the tray, "Young master, young lady, tea is here." ”
Ji Yizhao took a cup and gave it to Ye Mingjin, and picked up another cup.
He looked at Ye Mingjin, who was dressed in a phoenix crown and red makeup, his eyes were shining, and his voice was low and soft and sultry, "Today is our newlywed, replacing wine with tea, may my little bride be happy and worry-free." ”
Ye Mingjin was slightly stunned, raised the teacup and touched it, and replied with his blessings: "I wish Master Ji all his wishes come true, happiness and health." ”
The temperature of the tea soup is just right, the aroma is mellow, and the season is like drinking wine.
Ye Mingjin followed closely and put the empty cup on the tray, and listened to Ji Yizhao say: "I'll take you to the bedroom to have a look, just so you can change into relaxed clothes." ”
The words behind made Ye Mingjin, whose neck was sore, very excited, and immediately looked at Ji Yizhao with anticipation.
Under her eager gaze, Ji Yizhao pushed the wheelchair to slide to the corner of the stairs, and Ye Mingjin found that there was a small direct elevator here!
When he arrived on the third floor, the elevator door opened, Ye Mingjin took the initiative to push the wheelchair, and Ji Yizhao guided him to a certain room.
The door was plastered with the word "Xi", and when it opened, every decoration from the curtains to the sheets to the furniture was the simple and natural pastoral style she liked.
"You clean up first, and let's have dinner together." Ji Yizhao operated the wheelchair and prepared to leave, "Call me if you need anything." ”
"Okay." Ye Mingjin responded, and began to take off the phoenix crown and Xia Xi costume step by step.
Sitting in front of the dresser wearing the shirt and trousers inside the wedding dress After removing his makeup, Ye Mingjin saw that the hair of the phoenix crown was a little messy, and went directly to the bathroom.
The sound of running water in the bathroom blocked the movement of Ji Yizhao entering the door, and also blocked the ringing of the mobile phone.
Ji Yizhao looked at the mobile phone on the bed and pushed the wheelchair over with some curiosity.
When he saw the caller "Ji Yishao" clearly, his originally smiling eyes suddenly became full of anger and coldness.
With his lips pursed slightly, he glanced at the bathroom, hesitated for two seconds and pressed the answer button.
A familiar and annoying voice came: "Ye Mingjin! I'm drunk, come and pick me up in the night! I can forgive you for hitting me today. Right now! Right away! As long as you come to apologize to me and admit your mistakes, I will forgive you! ”
Ji Yizhao sneered coldly, full of sarcasm, "People are ugly, but they are quite beautiful when they think about it." ”
After a short silence, Ji Yishao's impatient voice jumped, "Who are you?" Ji Yizhao? What about Ye Mingjin? You let her answer the phone! ”
Ji Yizhao looked at the bathroom, listening to the sound of rushing water, and the hundred turns between his eyebrows and eyes turned into a word and said quietly: "She, she is taking a bath." ”
