Chapter 47: There is a beginning and an end
He said he would come to see her, but it didn't.
That is to say.
It was she who took his words to heart again.
In business class, Ye Mian leaned in the seat and looked out the window, and the sense of loss in his heart lasted for a long time.
At the same time, he was very angry that he was not angry, he easily had illusions about him, and he was easily swayed by his emotions. When will she be able to treat him as a stranger, without concern?
A sneer tugged at the corners of her mouth, blinked the wetness from her eyes, swallowed the choking in her throat, and took out a book from her bag, "The Power of the Now".
At this time, a familiar woody fragrance wafted through the air, crisp and cold, like a winter evening, in a cedar forest full of pine needles, and a faint smell of incense wafting from the temple in the distance.
It's the scent of the afternotes of Arti's Immortal Road to Hades, the smell she loves.
The note came from a traveler sitting next to him, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a man's hand. The palms are broad, the fingers are long, the bones are distinct, the back of the hand is full of strength, and the ring finger is wearing a silver wedding ring.
Ye Mian's gaze slowly moved upward, and when she saw the face of the man next to her clearly, her pupils shook.
She had a ghostly look on her face.
Is this reluctant to see him again?
Qiao Zhanbei pursed his lips and smiled, and replied lightly with her expression: "I said I would give it to you." ”
Ye Mian: "......"
Is he seeing him off?
She watched in a daze as he fastened his seatbelt, and a warm current slowly welled up in her heart.
She thought he had forgotten, but as a result, he was going to send her to her destination.
Ye Mian turned his head to look out of the porthole, and his hands secretly tightened, suppressing the girl's heart that began to flood.
Cheapskate.
Qiao Zhanbei saw that she didn't care about herself, and scolded in her heart.
After three years of getting along day and night, they traveled together, this was her first time alone, he couldn't let go of his heart, and left a bunch of official things to follow......
The man rested his head on the back of the chair, looked sideways, looked at the presumptuous person in his heart, his eyes were resentful, and then, he smiled heartily.
It's a joy to see her.
After a long time, Ye Mian gradually calmed down, she turned her head and looked at the seat a step away, the man closed his eyes, as if he was asleep.
Under his eyes, there was a faint dark blue.
It should have stayed up all night to stay.
She took the blanket, leaned forward, and carefully wanted to cover him, the attentive flight attendant saw this scene and came over to help, Ye Mian shook his head lightly and personally helped him cover it.
As soon as she tucked the blanket on his shoulder, the man suddenly opened his eyes, and the moment the four eyes met, her heart pounded, and she quickly sat back.
Covered with a layer of warmth, Qiao Zhanbei glanced at the blanket on his body, and then looked at her, the Adam's apple rolled.
She still cared about him.
After getting off the plane and seeing Qiao Zhanbei, Xu Mobai realized why he didn't buy a ticket to sit next to Ye Mian.
It was snatched by her husband.
Seeing the words "World Intangible Cultural Heritage, Suzhou Embroidery" and other words scrolling on the big screen of the airport, Ye Mian felt a surge of blood in his chest, and a sense of pride arose.
As soon as they got out of the turnstile, the Xu family and Qiao Zhanbei's people came to pick them up at the same time, and in front of outsiders, Ye Mian got into Qiao Zhanbei's car.
"I arranged a single-family building near the museum, with a nanny and a driver to take care of you." In the car, he said seriously.
Ye Mian frowned, if you get divorced, you have to look like a divorce, why is he doing this for her?
"Thank you Mr. Qiao for your kindness, I booked a hotel, I may buy a house here in the future, I can take care of myself."
"I don't get divorced for a day, and I have this responsibility." Qiao Zhanbei's heart was a little blocked, he knew that she would refuse, and she had been anxious to draw a line with him.
"Also, the mastermind behind the last injury on your face hasn't been caught yet, so you have to pay attention to safety at all times." He loosened his tie and said again.
Thinking of this, he really wanted to tie her to his belt and carry her with him at all times.
Ye Mian thought about it and accepted his kindness.
The white walls and black tiles are very characteristic of the Jiangnan water town, a small Chinese-style building built by the water, with a small courtyard, a museum nearby, and several garden scenic spots.
The interior decoration style is also Chinese retro style, all the same color wooden furniture, exuding a faint wooden atmosphere, very old.
Ye Mian liked it at a glance.
"If you like it, I'll go back and let people buy it directly and put it in your name." Qiao Zhanbei saw that she liked this house very much, and her mood was much better.
Ye Mian didn't speak, just glanced at him lightly.
She didn't want him to be nice to her anymore, she could spoil herself.
Qiao Zhanbei raised his wrist and glanced at his watch, "I still have to rush back to the capital, you take care of yourself, if you have something to call my mobile phone." ”
Ye Mian was slightly stunned, she didn't expect him to leave when he arrived, she could see that he was really busy, she nodded and didn't speak.
"I'm leaving." He looked at her and said softly.
After waiting for a moment, seeing that she didn't mean to say anything, he strode away.
It wasn't until the sound of the engine came from outside that Ye Mian came back to his senses.
The little one who has no conscience, when he sees that he is leaving, does not say a word, and does not come out to see him off.
Qiao Zhanbei gritted his teeth, turned his head, and looked at the rear window.
In the distance, her slender figure could be vaguely seen, lonely, standing on the side of the road, he slowly hooked the corners of his lips, and was full of reluctance.
Ten years ago, he was in a corner of the city, brought her back to the capital, and now, sent her back.
There is also a beginning and an end.
The word "end" pierced his heart.
Qiao Zhanbei exhaled deeply, relieving the piercing pain in his heart.
The body is getting farther and farther away, and her vision is getting more and more blurred, Ye Mian swallowed her tears and cheered herself up in her heart, breaking up always has to go through a painful period, just pass.
Time is the cure for pain.
She went to Xu's house that day and visited her grandmother's former mentor and friend, Xu Mobai's grandmother, with gifts.
Grandma Xu is also a highly respected master of Suzhou embroidery, but in recent years, her health has not been good, her eyes are dizzy, and she no longer holds needles.
Seeing Ye Mian, the old lady was like Ye Mian's grandmother in the past, and she was severely tested on her homework.
Embroidering her one by one, Ye Mian used the needle as the pen and the thread as the ink, and tattooed the pattern on the embroidered cloth as thin as the wings of a cicada.
Grandma Xu wore reading glasses and watched from the sidelines, and at the end, she hit her with a cane, pretending to be stern: "For the sake of you not losing your grandfather's craftsmanship, I forgive you on behalf of your grandmother!" In the future, the burden of this line will fall on your shoulders, Master Ye. ”
"Grandma Xu, I will definitely concentrate on embroidery in the future." Ye Mian is like a good student, and he seriously promises.
Grandma Xu laughed "poof", "I just taught you on behalf of your grandmother, you girl, it's God who appreciates food, your craftsmanship and spirituality are innate, others can't compare to you for ten or twenty years or even half a lifetime!" ”
"Sleeping girl, have you talked about a boyfriend?" The old lady asked happily, glancing at her grandson.
