I don't care to meet you in this life

Chapter 5 Drowning
Over the past few days, Ye Jing's fears have become more and more frequent.It seemed that as soon as Gu Anyuan appeared beside her, she felt inexplicably oppressed and panicked.

She always felt that this feeling came from her guilt towards him.When they broke up three years ago, she just broke up unilaterally, and then went to Japan to study without even meeting her face to face, and never gave him a chance to redeem.

Now that they meet again, she still feels that she is ashamed of him, she always feels that she owes him, but she can never pay it back.

After returning to Yunshi, maybe everything will return to calm.Ye Jing thought, after going back, they won't see each other again, so naturally all these troubles will be gone.

The driver drove everyone to Waikiki Beach, which is not too far from the hotel.Everyone shouted excitedly to the sea, and then rushed to the public restroom by the beach to change clothes.

Tang Xiaoyi was changing into a brightly colored beach bikini, and Ye Jing chatted with her with her bag.After changing, Tang Xiaoyi took out a conservative swimsuit and boxer beach skirt from her bag like a magic trick and handed it to Ye Jing: "Look, I prepared it specially for you!"

Ye Jing shook her head: "The relatives are visiting, so you can't go into the water."

"You can change into a swimsuit even if you don't go into the water! Otherwise, how awkward you would be wearing jeans!" Tang Xiaoyi persuaded.

Ye Jing went upstairs just to avoid embarrassment.After going up, she sat on the bed and waited for Tang Xiaoyi.Seeing that she was not moving, Tang Xiaoyi knew that she couldn't go into the water during her menstrual period, but she still took a conservative swimsuit for her.

That swimsuit was very beautiful. The upper body was a thin shoulder strap tube top with a light green base. There was a whole ring of thin light green fringe hanging from the abdomen to the crotch. The bottom was a more conservative type of pleated beach pants skirt.

The first time she saw this suit, Ye Jing liked it very much, so she happily changed it into it, and after looking in the mirror again and again, she left the bag and walked out with Tang Xiaoyi.

In the blue sky, there are slowly moving white clouds.In the blowing sea breeze, there is a hint of cool summer breath.

Standing in such a background, Gu Anyuan stared intently at the little woman walking in the distance.

How I want to be with her forever.Seeing her again after three years away, Gu Anyuan knew that he was still in the same state of mind as before.But, how can we cure her psychological problems?So real, and the mental illness that hurt them?

When Chen Yuxuan saw Ye Jing and Tang Xiaoyi coming out, he was dazzled for a moment.He immediately said enthusiastically to Mi Lan beside him: "Third brother, look!" Chen Yu turned and pointed at Ye Jing and Tang Xiaoyi who were walking, and made an empty S shape with his hands in the air: "Look at that figure, How on time! Is there a 32D?"

Mi Lan was about to ask, "Are there any women who are singing every night in your bar on time", but Gu Anyuan glanced at Chen Yuxuan with angry eyes.Mi Lan had no choice but to remind this outspoken Xiaosi again in a friendly manner: "Little Si, the boss is warning you with his eyes..."

Surprised, Chen Yuxuan didn't look at Gu Anyuan, and continued to pretend to admire the beauty: "Look, Tang Xiaoyi's figure...is really straight! It's really the type I like!" After saying this, Chen Yuxuan glanced at Gu Anyuan. Gu Anyuan turned his head.He secretly sweated, and said to Mi Lan in a low voice: "Why do I feel that the boss has become so scary..."

Both Chen Yuxuan and Liming were wearing diving suits, and they seemed to be preparing to dive into the sea.Mi Lan wore a playful light blue one-piece swimsuit, standing there slim and graceful, talking to Gu Anyao behind her from time to time.

Only Gu Anyuan... is still wearing his long-sleeved white shirt, black pants and leather shoes that have remained unchanged for thousands of years.Under the warm sunshine, it looks so shining and unique.

Many girls coming and going kept turning their heads and winking at him, but he was unmoved at all, and only squinted and glanced at Ye Jing from time to time.Liming, Mi Lan, Chen Yuxuan and others seemed to know the reason why he didn't change his swimsuit, and they were not surprised by his attire at all.

Everyone started to go into the water one after another after laughing and joking for a while.Liming and Chen Yuxuan walked down the shallow water area wearing webbed wetsuits and waterproof goggles. Mi Lan and Gu Anyao also chatted and walked towards the swimming water area.Only Gu Anyuan, who was wearing a formal suit, saw that everyone was ready to take their seats, stepped on the sand with his leather shoes, and walked towards the leisure area with beach chairs.

Ye Jing and Tang Xiaoyi sat on the beach and chatted. Tang Xiaoyi blushed a little and asked Ye Jing softly: "Xiao Jing, tell me——Chen Yuxuan... how is his character?"

Instead of answering, Ye Jing asked, "No. 15?"

Tang Xiaoyi blushed instantly, and the next second, Ye Jing thought she would blurt out "this time it's true love", only to see Tang Xiaoyi lower her head: "Xiao Jing, I'm not good enough for him."

Ye Jing has never seen Tang Xiaoyi look so depressed, even when she chased after a certain ex-boyfriend before, she always looked determined to win.This woman who advocates "money is everything" has almost never encountered setbacks.

Ye Jing thought for a while, and said softly to her, "Xiaoyi, don't belittle yourself. In my heart, you are more worthy than anyone else."

Tang Xiaoyi raised her face, but there was no enthusiastic look on Ye Jing's face when she encouraged her before, she just said softly: "Xiao Jing, you are so kind."

Ye Jing smiled: "Okay, you go swimming! I'll buy you a drink."

Both stood up, and Ye Jing walked towards the beach shop in the distance.Tang Xiaoyi stepped into the shallow water and walked into the sea.

Tang Xiaoyi's swimming level is not bad, she knows several different postures.But maybe it's something on her mind, she always feels that she is not in the right shape for swimming today, whether it is butterfly stroke, breaststroke or freestyle, it is always not smooth.She had to float on the surface of the sea, paddling the water with her hands, looking like a beginner swimmer.

Beside Tang Xiaoyi, there were a few beginner swimmers who were chatting in Chinese, and the accent sounded like Malaysian Chinese.They are each hanging a swimming ring, floating on the water and chatting enthusiastically.

After a while, a woman wearing a yellow hat suddenly found that the girl who had been paddling in the water less than three meters away from her just now seemed to have disappeared within a few seconds.She looked around, but she didn't see the beautiful but desolate young woman just now. She panicked and started to shout: "Someone has sunk to the bottom of the water! Someone has sunk!"

The crowd around who could understand Chinese started to get restless, and someone responded loudly: "Where are you? Where are you?"

The woman in the yellow hat pointed to the place where Tang Xiaoyi was floating just now and said eagerly: "This is it! Here!"

Gu Anyuan, who was tens of meters away, was lying under a parasol reading a local financial newspaper. Hearing the commotion of the crowd not far away, he immediately looked towards a certain place.

Gu Anyuan was startled suddenly - that little woman in a light green swimsuit is no longer there!
He immediately jumped down and rushed to the sea area where the woman in the yellow hat was at a sprint speed of [-] meters.Gu Anyuan looked around and saw Mi Lan and Gu Anyao at a glance, but Ye Jing was missing!

The blood in his whole body began to rush up at that moment, and Gu Anyuan was suddenly as fragile as a child who was about to die, shrouded in great fear.

It's not that she didn't take Ye Jing to swim before, but at that time she would always sit quietly on the bank and admire Gu Anyuan's skillful swimming posture.Occasionally, she would come down and flop a few times, and would soon return to the shore to wait for Gu Anyuan to come up with water and towels.So, up to now, that little girl with high IQ but extremely lack of athletic cells must not have learned to swim yet!But, in that case, why did she run into the sea?
Gu Anyuan quickly kicked off his leather shoes, and ran over from the beach with his socks on.He didn't even have time to take off the white shirt on his body, so he went directly downstream from the place the woman in the yellow hat said.

In the days to come, Gu Anyuan will never forget that kind of despair that is on the verge of extinction.I never thought that one day, I would really lose her.Even after breaking up, he knew that as long as time and she were still there, he would still have a chance.

Gu Anyuan quickly moved his long arms and legs along the direction of the water, looking for the worrying shadow.Mi Lan and Gu Anyao on the shore also swam over from other directions, discussing anxiously.

Within a few minutes, Chen Yuxuan and Li Ming, who had started diving before, suddenly emerged from the water. Chen Yuxuan was still holding a drowning woman in his arms. Mi Lan and Gu Anyuan went over to see that it was Tang Xiaoyi.

Chen Yuxuan hugged Tang Xiaoyi and lay flat on the beach, Tang Xiaoyi was almost in a coma from choking on too much water.Her face was pale, like a mermaid going withering.Chen Yuxuan didn't care about other things, and immediately got down to give Tang Xiaoyi artificial respiration.

Mi Lan also followed Liming to the shore, only halfway through the run did she realize that Gu Anyuan also dived just now!Moreover, he has no protection!

Mi Lan hurriedly yelled at Li Ming in panic: "Xiaoer! Xiaoer! The boss just went down! You go find him! Go!"

Liming immediately put on the waterproof goggles again, and dived down from the spot where Gu Anyuan went into the water just now to look for him.

When Ye Jing came back from the store, what she saw was such a scene. ——By the beach, Chen Yuxuan was vigorously giving Tang Xiaoyi artificial respiration, while Mi Lan and Gu Anyao waited anxiously beside him.

Ye Jing panicked for a moment, she dropped the drink in her hand and ran towards Tang Xiaoyi.A few minutes later, Tang Xiaoyi started spitting water, and after a few big mouthfuls, she slowly opened her eyes.

Ye Jing was so frightened that she shed tears, she kept holding Tang Xiaoyi's hand tightly and never let go.Seeing that Tang Xiaoyi gradually came to her senses, her tears grew more and more, and she couldn't stop it no matter what.

After a while, Liming brought the wet Gu Anyuan out of the water and quickly paddled towards the beach.A few meters away, Gu Anyuan saw that petite person squatting and crying, feeling fear and exhaustion in his heart and having nowhere to go, so he immediately ran to Ye Jing's side, ignoring his wet clothes, squatting down and stretching out his arms to hold him tightly. He hugged Ye Jing tightly in his arms.

Ye Jing was hugged tightly by Gu Anyuan, a little unclear about the situation.She struggled in his arms, trying to break out.Unexpectedly, Gu Anyuan stepped up his strength and hugged Ye Jing so painfully.He buried his face on her thin shoulders, and murmured, "Little Ye Zi...I'm so scared..."

Only then did Ye Jing realize that Gu Anyuan mistook her for drowning.For a while, she also felt complicated, and she just continued to shed tears.

Time stood still for about 5 minutes. Tang Xiaoyi sat up and looked at Chen Yuxuan, who was slightly out of breath due to the artificial respiration, and his face turned red suddenly.Then he followed everyone's gaze, only to find that Gu Anyuan was hugging Ye Jing tightly, and Ye Jing was still crying in his arms.

After a while, Gu Anyuan finally let go of Ye Jing, reached out and wiped the water from his hair, face and neck.Mi Lan found a large bath towel from nowhere, and brought it to Gu Anyuan: "Boss, take off your shirt quickly, and be careful not to catch a cold."

Gu Anyuan looked up at Ye Jing again, and began to unbutton the white shirt one by one.

Ye Jing turned her head away, a little embarrassed to look at Gu Anyuan's naked upper body.Gu Anyuan didn't care about him, and took it off on his own.Sensing Gu Anyuan standing up, Ye Jing turned to look up at him again.

Ye Jing's heart suddenly throbbed - she saw Gu Anyuan's exposed left wrist.

On his left hand, he wore a red string that she was very familiar with.The rope seemed to have been worn for a long time. Due to long-term immersion in water, the color was no longer bright, but turned into a matte black red color. It was very conspicuous when worn on Gu Anyuan's still fair wrist.

—— "Ye Jing, if one day, there is a misunderstanding between us, no matter how big it is, as long as the red rope is still there, we will give each other a chance to explain, okay?"

——"Okay. I promise you, whenever you use this red rope, I will give you a chance."

An inadvertent promise when he was young, but it was still tightly tied to his left wrist.

The scene of buying the red rope is still vivid.At that time, he was still in college. One day, Ye Jing took Gu Anyuan to see a jewelry design exhibition. When passing by an underground passage, he saw some peddlers selling some gadgets such as bracelets and card issuers.

Both of them had already passed by those small stalls, but Gu Anyuan stopped because of a couple who were quarreling not far away.The young lovers are arguing fiercely about something, and no one is willing to give in.The two of them were blushing, but they didn't turn around and leave.

It can be seen that the couple actually love each other very much, but they just disagree on some important issues.In the end, the girl in the couple frowned and closed her eyes. With a heartbroken look, she let go of the high decibels during the quarrel and said softly, "Let's...break up."

Gu Anyuan glanced lightly at the couple, then turned around and pulled Ye Jing's little hand: "Little Ye Zi, I'll give you a small gift, do you want it?"

Ye Jing was a little puzzled, but when she heard the gift, she still responded enthusiastically: "Okay."

Gu Anyuan immediately took a few steps back, squatted in front of the small vendor, and carefully selected two red simple wrist ropes without any beads or decorations.

After paying the money, Gu Anyuan stood there and put it on for Ye Jing.In the underground passage where people come and go, while gently knotting the knot on the rope, he said softly: "Little Yezi, if there is any misunderstanding between us in the future, as long as our red rope is still there, we will give each other a hug." A chance to speak and explain, okay?"

At that time, Ye Jing was immersed in the joy of this little gift, and replied without thinking: "Okay. I promise you."

It has been five years since I bought this pair of red strings.Ye Jing sat on the beach blankly, looking at the direction Gu Anyuan was leaving from, staring at his hanging wrist, until her eyes were wet.

Tang Xiaoyi, who was still lying on the beach at this moment, had completely recovered. With a bit of girlish shyness, she gently pulled Ye Jing's hand.Ye Jing hurried out of the red rope's memory to help Tang Xiaoyi.

Ye Jing waited for her to say something, but after sitting quietly for a few minutes, Tang Xiaoyi didn't say anything, just licked her lips unconsciously, with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth.

Ye Jing temporarily ignored the throbbing in her heart, and softly asked her friends around her: "Xiao Yi, how...how do you feel?"

"Feeling?" Tang Xiaoyi finally recovered, "Sweet...warm...hehe..."

Ye Jing sighed softly, knowing that she was trapped in Chen Yuxuan's artificial respiration, so she stopped discussing with her, just helped her stand up, and said softly: "Xiaoyi, let's go back to the hotel..."

Tang Xiaoyi seemed to be in high spirits at this moment, she just wanted to sit on the beach and wait for her prince to return, but she didn't notice the trace of fatigue in Ye Jing's expression, so she immediately rejected her: "No, Xiao Jing. I want to wait here for him."

Ye Jing had no choice but to let go of her hand, and gave a random reason: "Then I'll go back and have a rest first. I... have dysmenorrhea again."

Hearing this reason, Tang Xiaoyi didn't think too much, gave Ye Jing a sweet smile, and waved goodbye to her.

It's not a long way to walk back to the hotel from the beach.Ye Jing went to the public restroom to change into her swimsuit, and walked slowly by herself.

When going back, she passed the goldfish pond again.When she passed by here last time, she tried her best to persuade herself to say goodbye to the past, but at this moment, because of that person again, her mind was confused.

Ye Jing returned to the room and lay quietly alone, thinking about the red rope in Gu Anyuan's hand.After breaking up for more than three years, he can make demands on her, and he can use this rope to say what he didn't have time to say after the breakup.However, he never used this promise.If so, why did he keep wearing it?Is it just because of habit?
Ye Jing dug out her bag, opened the small zipper on the interlayer, and took out a small, slender velvet box inside.After holding the box in her palm and touching it for a while, Ye Jing opened it.

——That was the one that belonged to her among the pair of red ropes.

Since it has never been worn, it still looks like new.Two strands of thin red thread are entangled together, one circle after another, and at the end point, they are entangled into an unbreakable knot.

During the three years of studying in Japan, Ye Jing always carried it with her.No matter how many bags have been changed, the interlayer always belongs to this small box.At the beginning, it was to comfort myself from the pain caused by the loss of Gu Anyuan, but slowly, it became a habit.The red rope seemed to be no longer a symbol of Gu Anyuan, but more like a good medicine to calm her down and stop her fear.

"Dong dong dong..." There was a sudden knock on Ye Jing's door.

Ye Jing immediately stood up vigilantly, quickly put the red rope into the velvet box, then pressed the box under the pillow, walked softly to the door, and asked in English, "Which one?"

A man's voice came from the door: "Waiter."

Ye Jing opened the door, and saw a blond waiter standing outside the door smiling at her.The waiter then smiled at the wall beside him, then turned and left.

Ye Jing didn't know why he was smiling at the wall, and leaned out curiously to look at the wall.As soon as he stretched his head out, he saw a tall man in a white shirt leaning against the wall by the door with his arms folded.

"Yeah..." Ye Jing immediately exclaimed, retracting her head and preparing to close the door.Gu Anyuan rushed over with a stride, stretched his long legs and stuffed it in the crack of the door, and pushed open the door that was not closed.In the blink of an eye, he had already flown into the porch of the room, and by the way he closed the door with his hands behind his back.

Ye Jing was so frightened that she quickly stepped back step by step, Gu Anyuan strode up, and sat on the bed Ye Jing had just been lying on very casually.

"You... what are you going to do?" Ye Jing was a little incoherent.

In the brightly lit room, Gu Anyuan pursed his thin lips and looked at Ye Jing gently: "Little Yezi, today...you saw my secret..."

"Secret?" Ye Jing didn't react for a while, and repeated his words.

Gu Anyuan started to unbutton the left cuff button of his shirt, then rolled up that sleeve a little bit, exposing the dried red string, then nodded and said, "Look, this." After speaking, he shook his wrist lightly.

Ye Jing immediately looked like a frightened rabbit, glanced at the pillow inadvertently, then quickly turned around, and stammered, "You...what do you want to say?"

Gu Anyuan suddenly stretched out his hand, pulled Ye Jing who was one meter away, put his arms around her, and sat the thin girl on his lap, then lowered his head down and put it on Ye Jing's shoulder, with a charming look Said in a low voice, "Little Ye Zi, come back to me, okay?"

The few hot breaths that Gu Anyuan exhaled in her ear made Ye Jing feel numb all over, but her thoughts involuntarily returned to her and Gu Anyuan before graduation.

At that time, there was a popular saying, "Everyone fell in love together on the day of graduation".It is said that most couples can't survive the hurdle of graduation.Some people will break up because they can't stand the torment of lovesickness after being separated, and some people will abandon their lovers who have nothing when they graduate for the sake of reality.

And at that time, Ye Jing was determined to be with Gu Anyuan.Therefore, she, who was extremely conservative in the past, finally convinced herself that she wanted to be with Gu Anyuan for real, so that she could hold him tightly and not let him leave.

However, I don't know if it was too hasty, but in short, things come true.Those days were the most embarrassing period for Ye Jing in the past 20 years.

Every time a critical moment comes, she will always have a situation.She always felt that she was instantly translated into another time and space, but she always felt fear in another space.Whenever she is making out, even if she wants to cater to Gu Anyuan, her mind and body are always out of control.

Every time Gu Anyuan would feel very frustrated, even though he never said it out loud, Ye Jing could still feel his suppressed displeasure.

In front of the person she loves the most, in front of this person who once thought she would never marry, she unexpectedly found that she could not control her fantasies and fears during intimacy.

How ridiculous is such a life!

I used to think that for them, graduation is definitely not a broken relationship.I also thought that as long as two people love each other, they will be able to overcome all the difficulties in this world.But she never thought about it, because her involuntary resistance finally caused a rift between the two of them.

So Ye Jing retracted her neck like an ostrich, desperately trying to escape from Gu Anyuan's side.Once escaped, it was three years.

Ye Jing, who was still sitting in Gu Anyuan's arms, seemed to be awakened by an electric shock, and immediately broke free from his arms and stood up.There was still some shock on her face, but there seemed to be a little soft ambiguity in that shock.She replied loudly: "I don't want it!"

Gu Anyuan lowered his voice: "Little Yezi, you promised that as long as I use the red rope, you will give me a chance..."

Ye Jing blurted out almost without thinking: "I don't want it! I don't have the same fear of everyone when I face you! Only in front of you will I be in trouble!"

At that moment, Gu Anyuan's heart seemed to be stabbed by a bayonet.He raised his eyes and looked at Ye Jing from the air, without saying a word, but his eyes were so sharp that he seemed to eat Ye Jing alive.

Gu Anyuan stood up, put down the rolled up sleeve of his left hand, glanced at the uncovered velvet box under the pillow that seemed to be a gift, and strode out the door with low air pressure.

Ye Jing was still panting by the bed, unaware of how easily misunderstood what she said just now.

After about half an hour, Ye Jing finally recovered.She put the box with the thin red string into the interlayer of the bag, and lay down on the bed again.

...He said, little leaf, come back to me, okay?

Ye Jing thought about Gu Anyuan's words with a little upset but with a hint of sweetness.She understands her heart, but she also understands her body.Very longing, but there is no way to be together.

Perhaps because she was in her menstrual period, Ye Jing was very hungry, and it was almost time for meal, but Tang Xiaoyi hadn't come back yet.Ye Jing changed her clothes and was going to go downstairs to eat alone.She wore a light blue slim-fit shirt with sleeves rolled up, paired with dark blue knee-length jeans, and those flat-heeled sandals. She stood in front of the mirror and took a look. This dress was due to her petite stature. And like a college student.

Ye Jing took off the black rubber band from her hair, let down her soft chestnut-colored hair, and looked in the mirror again, only then did she feel a little more mature.

After dawdling for a while, Ye Jing walked out the door with her bag on her back.Because she was worried that she would run into Gu Anyuan again in the hotel restaurant, Ye Jing had planned to eat at a small restaurant near the hotel.

After getting out of the elevator and passing through the hotel lobby, Ye Jing overheard two or three people talking anxiously in Japanese in the lounge area of ​​the lobby.

Perhaps because Ye Jing is more sensitive to Japanese, when I heard someone talking about it in the hotel, I couldn't help but listen to it a little more.

"Ms. Ueno, what should I do, the time is coming!"——It was a man's voice.

"Hurry up and find someone to help me fix it! All the important materials are inside!" The woman answered her anxiously.

The voice sounded familiar, and Ye Jing involuntarily turned her head to look at the speaking woman. ——It turned out to be the psychologist Ueno Chiyuki again.She was fumbling with the laptop in front of her anxiously, looking up, down, left, and right.Judging from the situation, it seems that something is wrong with her computer.

Ye Jing didn't want to pay attention to it, but after walking a few steps forward, she heard Ueno's anxious voice, she turned around after thinking about it.

"Mr. Ueno, is the computer malfunctioning?" Ye Jing asked Ueno Qianxue politely.

Ueno Qianxue raised her head, and when she saw Ye Jing, she nodded slightly without explaining much.

Ye Jing walked up to them, took out the simple repair tool that he had always carried with him from his bag, and said softly, "Mr. Ueno, may I take a look for you?"

When Ueno Qianxue saw the tools in Ye Jing's hands, hope flashed in her eyes, and she was a little surprised: "Could it be that Ye Sang can repair computers? That's really great. Please take a look at what's wrong. I have an important psychological consultation, but the information is all on the computer."

"Okay." Ye Jing nodded and stopped talking, sat down and began to connect the power supply to check the fault.After careful inspection, she probably knew what was going on. She unplugged the power cord and began to disassemble the parts. In less than a moment, Ye Jing dismantled the notebook to pieces.

Ueno Qianxue looked at her with some concern, and couldn't help asking: "Can it be restored? Can it be repaired?"

Hearing this, Ye Jing continued to work while turning to Ueno: "Mr. Ueno, I might as well make a hypothesis for you. This hypothesis is-you are an academic expert in psychology, but you are not familiar with the use of computers. It’s not very good at maintenance and maintenance.”

When Ueno heard this, he immediately thought of the assumptions she had made about Ye Jing when she saw Ye Jing for the second time, and couldn't help narrowing her slender phoenix eyes and laughing: "Yes, Ye Sang, you This assumption was made very successfully."

Ye Jing also pursed her lips and smiled lightly, continuing to concentrate on repairing the parts in her hand.

Many people coming and going in the hall were attracted by this scene.A young and thin girl is seriously maintaining a laptop with her head down.She was turning the screws deftly, looking like an experienced computer repairman.It's fine if it's a big man, but she is a young woman who looks extremely delicate, which makes passers-by admire.

After about 10 minutes, Ye Jing reassembled the notebook, connected the power cord but did not press the switch.She raised her head confidently: "Mr. Ueno, I guess, it's ready."

Ueno Chiyuki turned on the phone with hope and connected to the network.She was delighted to see her old friend back to work.So she sincerely thanked Ye Jing, and once again welcomed Ye Jing to talk to her at any time.

Ye Jing smiled, put away her tools, and walked out with her bag on her back.Turn right out of the hotel, there is a row of shops.Past these shops, there are several restaurants serving local dishes.

Lunch took less than 10 minutes.Ye Jing sat alone and ate quickly.During this period, a handsome local boy came over to strike up a conversation, but Ye Jing turned his eyes straight and ignored him.The young man seemed to be trying his best, and regardless of her attitude, he shared the table with her when he brought the meal.

Ye Jing sighed in her heart, took a big mouthful of food, then swallowed the last mouthful of the young man's successive questions, wiped her lips, and left the restaurant as if fleeing.

...I really can't find peace anywhere.

After returning to the hotel room, Ye Jing lay on the bed and watched the news.On the local regional channel, advertisements of some jewelry companies are being broadcast, including metal jewelry and diamond jewelry.

Ye Jing suddenly thought that he would be looking for a job after returning to Yunshi, so he turned on the computer in the room and logged into Yunshi Talent Network to browse the recruitment page.

This browsing surprised Ye Jing so much that her jaw would drop.

The first is computer work.For hardware engineers or software engineers, the minimum education requirement is mostly a master's degree, but the salary is not much different from that of undergraduates.

Next is jewelry designer.First of all, design students must have a master's degree and a professional counterpart, let alone ordinary designers and chief designers.

It's the math teacher again.Ye Jing evaluated her own conditions and found that she could only meet the teacher standards of Yunshi Junior High School at best.Before that, Ye Jing always believed that her IQ and level were enough to become a lecturer at Yunshi University.

These jobs have two things in common: first, the salary is not as much as expected; second, most positions require work experience.

Ye Jing was a little frustrated, but she still had no choice but to make a beautiful electronic resume, and sent it to several companies with slightly better pay and high rankings in Yunshi.

As soon as Tang Xiaoyi came back in the afternoon, Ye Jing couldn't help complaining to her about the employer in Qiyun City.It can be summed up in six words: "High requirements, low wages."

Tang Xiaoyi listened to her six-character summary, and nodded with great sophistication: "Xiaojing, you haven't been in China for a few years, so you don't know the situation. Tell me, what kind of society is the 21st century?"

Ye Jing replied in a low voice: "Isn't it a talent?"

"No No No," Tang Xiaoyi shook his head, "It's a society of money. So—" Tang Xiaoyi's eyes lit up suddenly, "Xiao Jing, go to work at my dad's company! Then I can see you every day !"

Ye Jing rolled her eyes and said weakly: "But I don't know anything about the construction industry."

"How about—let's start as an office clerk?" Tang Xiaoyi cheerfully suggested.

"Ask to see if your dad can give me a monthly salary of [-] after tax, and I'll think about it."

"Really?" Tang Xiaoyi heard the words and started touching the phone again.Ye Jing was so familiar with her movements that she immediately ran over to stop her. "Tang Xiaoyi! I just said it casually! If you look like this, I will cheat your family's property sooner or later!" Ye Jing immediately explained.

But Tang Xiaoyi suddenly lowered her head and said softly: "If you lied to me, I would be willing."

As soon as these words came out, Ye Jing was speechless again.Tang Xiaoyi is a person who recognizes death, as long as she recognizes a friend or lover, she will always recognize it until death.No matter happiness or harm, she accepts it all.Apart from the money her father gave her, Ye Jing was one of her few or even almost the only wealth of friendship.

Such Tang Xiaoyi often makes Ye Jing feel distressed.

In order to ease the sad atmosphere, Ye Jing immediately said to Tang Xiaoyi: "Xiaoyi, I'm going to stay in Yunshi, aren't you happy?"

The innocent Tang Xiaoyi immediately raised her head with a smile: "Happy! I don't have to fly to Japan to see you anymore."

"Originally... I was planning to continue studying for a doctorate..." Ye Jing deliberately teased her.

Sure enough, Tang Xiaoyi started to stand up again and scolded angrily: "Master Jing! A woman is virtuous without talent! You have read too many books, and you will not be able to get married!"

Ye Jing almost immediately thought of what Gu Anyuan said in her ear, "Little Yezi, come back to me, okay?" At the same time, she replied loudly to Tang Xiaoyi: "Obviously someone wants it!"

No matter how simple Tang Xiaoyi is, she has had fourteen boyfriends. When she heard Ye Jing's words, she immediately showed suspicious eyes: "Take it seriously."

"Being with me for a few years, your IQ...is really much higher." Ye Jing tried to change the subject, but Tang Xiaoyi didn't accept this at all, and continued to ask: "Gu Qinshou provoked you again?"

Ye Jing remained silent.Tang Xiaoyi's tone suddenly softened: "Xiao Jing, after we go back, let's go see a doctor, and stop torturing ourselves."

Ye Jing next to her lowered her head, thinking about something solemnly.Tang Xiaoyi sighed: "Xiaojing, I have always known that you obviously like Gu Anyuan to death."

Ye Jing raised her head at this moment, faced Tang Xiaoyi and said, "Okay, let's not talk about this. Tell me about Chen Yuxuan?"

Tang Xiaoyi immediately changed into a shy first love girl appearance: "Chen...Chen Yuxuan? What does he have to say..."

While the two were talking, Ye Jing's cell phone rang.It was an unfamiliar phone number from Yunshi.When Ye Jing picked it up, he heard Chen Yuxuan's enthusiastic voice: "Sister-in-law! Take Tang Xiaoyi to room 08 to play mahjong! Four missing two! Come on!"

Ye Jing was a little baffled, but couldn't help but ask, "How do you have my phone number?"

"Oh! With Xiaoer here, everything is not difficult. Don't talk, come here quickly!"

Here, Ye Jing hasn't answered yet, and Chen Yuxuan has already hung up the phone.Tang Xiaoyi recognized Chen Yuxuan's voice, and immediately stood up and asked eagerly, "Are you asking us to play mahjong?"

Ye Jing nodded.Tang Xiaoyi immediately opened the cabinet and rummaged through the cabinet to make clothes.

--Play majiang.Ye Jing was a little funny.I've fought them a few times before at school.At that time, they went from Gu Anyuan to Chen Yuxuan, there were obviously four people in total, and Chen Yuxuan always said that they were missing one of the three.The reason is that the younger ones, the second, the third, and the fourth, hate playing mahjong with Gu Anyuan.

Relying on his incomparable photographic memory and his logical thinking mind, he can always accurately analyze who is playing which cards.It didn't take an hour each time, and Chen Yuxuan had to lose a few pants.

Tang Xiaoyi changed into a bright long dress, turned around in front of the mirror a few times gracefully, combed her hair again, and then began to urge Ye Jing to hurry up.

Until going out, Tang Xiaoyi didn't realize one problem - that is, she didn't know how to play mahjong at all.

As soon as she entered Suite 08, Ye Jing felt a little embarrassed.

Gu Anyuan and Liming were talking in a low voice on the sofa in the living room, when they saw her and Tang Xiaoyi coming in, they stopped talking and looked at them quietly.

Through the transparent glass in the living room, you can see Chen Yuxuan sitting at the mahjong table, he is leisurely guessing cards with his fingers while crossing his legs.Seeing them coming in, Chen Yuxuan immediately stood up and greeted them warmly.

Mi Lan who opened the door came with Ye Jing and Tang Xiaoyi, passing by the living room, Ye Jing couldn't help but glanced at Gu Anyuan, and they happened to meet each other.There seemed to be forbearable tenderness hidden in that gaze, and some suppressed pain, Ye Jing immediately turned her head back consciously, pretending to walk with her head down.

Only then refused to go back to him, and came to his side to play cards again, Ye Jing felt that the atmosphere was extremely depressing.

Entering the chess and card room, Chen Yuxuan and Tang Xiaoyi sat opposite each other, Ye Jing and Mi Lan sat opposite each other.As soon as the few people sat down, they saw Chen Yuxuan took out a bunch of chips and said with a naughty smile: "Sister-in-law, our starting price is not the same as before!"

Ye Jing just remembered that she hadn't asked how old she was on the phone.At this time, seeing Chen Yuxuan took out the chips and placed them separately, he couldn't help but ask with little confidence: "This... How big is the bet? Didn't you only start with five dollars when you were in college?"

"Sister-in-law... Well, let's start with two hundred today, shall we?" Chen Yuxuan's voice was as charming as his appearance, and Tang Xiaoyi, who was opposite him, immediately raised his hand: "Okay, okay, as big as you want. "

Mi Lan also agreed, but Ye Jing couldn't refuse anymore, so she had to bite the bullet and go into battle.

Tang Xiaoyi doesn't know how to play mahjong very much, but because she is not afraid of losing money, she is full of confidence, plus her learning ability is not bad, and she has good cards to help her. After an hour, she didn't lose much money.

On the contrary, Ye Jing, from the beginning to the present, has hardly played cards.Not to mention the big Hu, even the basic Hu has not done a few.

Chen Yuxuan is a character who knows people well. Seeing that Ye Jing's hands are not very good and his expression is rather nervous, he opened his voice and started shouting: "Boss, come here quickly. Sister-in-law is looking for you!"

"Ah? I didn't..." Ye Jing immediately retorted in a low voice.Gu Anyuan in the living room confessed to Liming again in a low voice, and walked over with big strides.

"Boss, sister-in-law's dowry... is almost lost!" Chen Yuxuan teased Ye Jing with an unscrupulous look.

Ye Jing blushed instantly when she heard the words, but she didn't dare to look up at Gu Anyuan, so she continued to play cards with her head depressed.

Gu Anyuan automatically ignored her previous rejection, sat down gently behind Ye Jing, and whispered in her ear: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Ye Jing felt a little stiff, and unconsciously adjusted her sitting posture, sitting upright.

Next, I heard Gu Anyuan say to Ye Jing from time to time: "Don't make two cakes, the little Sihu, he is all the same."

"Don't hit seven, old three make four and seven."

"[-] can be played. In this way, the probability of your win will increase again."

Sure enough, with the help of Gu Anyuan, Ye Jing made a fuss every now and then, and it was often the big Hus.Ye Jing won a lot of money with the basic value of two hundred plus a double.

The card luck was completely different before and after, Ye Jing forgot the embarrassment before, and became more relaxed.Occasionally, he would hold up a card and ask Gu Anyuan behind him: "Can this card be played?"

The combination of the two looks intimate, as if they have returned to the old college days.

Chen Yuxuan cried like hell on purpose: "Boss! You don't have to be so cruel!"

Ye Jing heard it was funny, relaxed for a moment, leaned back a little, and said softly to the people behind him: "An Yuan, you did a good job!" Turning to look at Gu Anyuan's face, who knew that Gu Anyuan was shaking his head Leaning on her shoulder, she carefully analyzed the cards of several companies, but she didn't pay attention for a while... Ye Jing's cheek felt cold.

Her face rubbed against his lips...

The coolness on the man's thin lips spread quickly on Ye Jing's sensitive face.His taste is still the same as before, cold and delicious.If it is poison, it always has the magic power to make people drink poison to quench their thirst.

Ye Jing immediately shrank her body like an electric shock, and sat forward, looking at the cards distractedly.Gu Anyuan acted as if nothing had happened, and continued to guide Ye Jing: "Tang Xiaoyi should play the card in your hand."

Ye Jing's heart was immediately attracted by curiosity, and he played the card in his hand in disbelief, but Tang Xiaoyi laughed and turned the card down: "Xiao Jing, I knew you were the best for me!"

The machine starts to shuffle the cards.Gu Anyuan raised his head and gave Chen Yuxuan a look.That look meant praise.Chen Yuxuan raised his head and firmly caught the gaze, then seemingly unintentionally threw back a "You're welcome", and the two of them completed this short friendship in the air.

A game of cards lasted about three hours.Mi Lan finally couldn't bear it and stood up, stretched her waist, and said loudly: "No more fights! The boss is here, I'm afraid I might even lose my Victoria's Secret."

Chen Yuxuan glanced at Mi Lan's chest, and said casually: "You... are so small, it's okay if you don't wear underwear."

Tang Xiaoyi on the side lowered her head and grinned, while Mi Lan started to stare at Chen Yuxuan angrily.

Ye Jing, on the other hand, was still seriously counting the chips she won. ...It seems that he has won a lot.

Mi Lan and Tang Xiaoyi lost 1 yuan each, and Chen Yuxuan lost the most, almost [-] yuan.Mi Lan and Tang Xiaoyi took back the chips and immediately handed over the cash. Ye Jing was a little embarrassed and refused to accept their money.

Chen Yuxuan took out a check from his pocket, wrote down the amount on the first page, signed his name, and proudly handed it to Ye Jing: "Sister-in-law, this is my gift money."

"No...I don't want to..." Ye Jing murmured.

Chen Yuxuan put the check in front of Ye Jing and turned his head to talk to Mi Lan. Mi Lan looked depressed: "Little Si, I lost 1 yuan. I lost another bag... Hey, let's play How about a game?" Mi Lan's face suddenly turned cloudy, and she suggested enthusiastically.

"Ah..." Chen Yuxuan slumped on the chair miserably, "Why is it always me who gets hurt..."

Mi Lan ignored his begging expression and dragged him to the sofa in the living room.Tang Xiaoyi silently looked at the two people who had such a good relationship, her small face was full of envy.Unable to control her curiosity, she followed them to the living room.

Ye Jing looked up and realized that there were only her and Gu Anyuan behind him in the chess and card room. She felt awkward and faltered, not knowing what to say.Gu Anyuan stood up, took the check in front of Ye Jing, glanced at it casually, and complained with displeasure: "Is this the gift money?"

Hearing this, Ye Jing blushed, as if someone really agreed to marry him.She quickly glanced at the number on the check, and immediately dilated her pupils in surprise: "So many? Thirty... ten thousand?"

Ye Jing turned away in surprise, and was about to ask Gu Anyuan if he should return the check, but was suddenly blinded by the light on his body.

...God, I was seduced by Gu Anyuan again.Ye Jing immediately looked away, and began to sort out the cash she won from playing cards just now.Gu Anyuan squinted at the frightened little woman in front of him, and then stuffed the check into his hand: "Little Yezi, keep it first. At worst, I'll give you less when he gets married." After finishing speaking, he turned and walked to the living room.

Ye Jing's little heart was beating wildly by him, it felt like lovers who had been in love for many years had formed a high degree of tacit understanding.

But to be honest... she enjoyed it a lot.

Ye Jing calmed down, and walked out with 2 yuan in cash and a check.

In the living room, Mi Lan was laughing, while Chen Yuxuan beside him had a bitter face.Mi Lan kept urging: "Little Four, give me the money, give me the money!"

Chen Yuxuan said with a mournful face: "Old man, otherwise, I will be a few months younger than you. If you don't dislike me, I am willing to marry you in, so that all my money is yours, and I don't have to play games with you anymore." How about it?"

Mi Lan immediately poked Chen Yuxuan's arm: "Hey! Xiao Si, is this considered a marriage proposal?"

Before Chen Yuxuan answered, he felt two strong gazes from left to right.

First of all, Tang Xiaoyi on the left is looking at him firmly, there seems to be some sourness in his eyes.Chen Yuxuan was quite familiar with this sourness. He used to see this expression occasionally when he wrote checks to those ex-girlfriends who broke up with her.

Then there is the gaze on the right... from Li Ming who had been quietly reading the Global Economic Weekly in the corner.Those eyes were full of sharpness and warning, as well as the heart attacking anger he suppressed.

Poor little Siyi didn't know where he was wrong again, so he had to jump up and surrender: "San, I lost, I lost, I give money, give money."

However, Mi Lan refused to let go: "Little Si, make it clear! Are you secretly in love with me?" Chen Yuxuan immediately fled with his head in his arms.

Ye Jing stuffed the money in his bosom into Gu Anyuan's hand, and said softly, "You won this, here it is." Then she walked over and took Tang Xiaoyi's hand, telling her to go back to her room.Seeing this, Mi Lan also stood up, and said with a smile, "Let me sit in your room? I don't know which room my sister-in-law lives in."

So the three of them walked out together, and Ye Jing, who was at the end, closed the door behind him.A few people hadn't walked a few steps before they heard howls of ghosts and wolves coming from the room, as if someone had been beaten.That heart-wrenching scream really made those who heard it feel sad and those who saw it shed tears.Ye Jing originally wanted to go in and take a look, but on second thought, she decided to give up.

Gu Anyuan in the room was thinking about why it would be better to return the money to Ye Jing, when he saw Li Ming, who was rarely angry in a thousand years and rarely expressed expression, strode from the corner, raised his leg and kicked Chen Yuxuan, Chen Yuxuan was in pain I was screaming, and my tears were about to flow out.

The thousand-year-old Bingshan lawyer usually only talks about the lotus flower in court, and has always talked less in private. This makes Chen Yuxuan always unable to understand the second brother's mind, so he unintentionally offended his bottom line today. .

"Little Four, stay away from my third child!" Li Ming growled, and was about to fly out again. Chen Yuxuan pitifully hugged his head and begged for mercy. Li Ming stopped and went back to the corner to continue reading magazines up.

Chen Yuxuan's body was in pain, but his mind was still awake.He quickly cleared up his thoughts and made a conclusion - Ye Jing must not touch him, otherwise the boss would have to kill him; now the third... is also occupied by the second, so he can only have a heart-to-heart talk with Tang Xiaoyi Talk about true love!

The next afternoon was the time to head back home.In the morning, Jim didn't inform everyone to gather. He just called each room one by one to inform that a driver would come to take everyone to the airport in the afternoon, and then hung up.

Ye Jing got up and tidied up for a while, then went to lift Tang Xiaoyi's quilt.Tang Xiaoyi might be dreaming about Chen Yuxuan and she was drooling foolishly, the quilt was empty, and her body was cold, Tang Xiaoyi woke up immediately, regardless of whether she was sleeping naked or not, she shouted angrily: "My Lord Jing! We are about to kiss him! Can't you wait a while?"

Ye Jing replied with a smile: "I promised to go shopping with you before. It's today, get up."

Tang Xiaoyi sat up excitedly: "Wow... bags, perfumes, wait for me!"
