give me joy
Chapter 10 Dark Chocolate Truffles
Chapter 10 Dark Chocolate Truffles
(1) Memory of London
Because of this sudden kiss, Yu Mi almost stayed up all night, opened his eyes until the early morning before falling asleep in a daze.
But before she had slept for a long time, she heard Zhou Xiaomei's scream, which woke her up from her dark dream.
She covered her ears with her hands, and hummed in pain: "Sister Xiaomei, please let me go..."
"No..." Zhou Xiaomei stretched out her hand and pushed her hard, "Mimi, look at today's entertainment headlines! Shi Jin! Shi Jin is on the headlines!"
Hearing the word "Shi Jin", Yu Mi immediately became confused, sat up from the bed, and grabbed Zhou Xiaomei's mobile phone.
It's really Shi Jin!
The photo seems to be a candid shot, the time should be before I met her, the background is the live broadcast room, he is taking off his earphones, most of his long flaxen bangs are behind his ears by the earphones, revealing his smooth forehead, his lips are tightly pursed, His eyes were cold.
It was only after seeing this photo that Yu Mi deeply felt how different he is now from what he was then.
But right now is not the time to be emotional, she hastily exited to look at the source of the photo - the entertainment version of a well-known portal.
The title is "Shock! Brother Bai Wei is fighting for property, or going to court with his biological mother!".
Bai Wei...brother?
She was stunned for a moment.
The finger that slides the phone trembles slightly—the person who wrote this news obviously came prepared. There are many photos about Shi Jin in the article, a photo with Bai Wei when he was a child, then elementary school, middle school...the last one is not long ago Bai Wei's funeral, in the photo, he was dressed in black with black hair, and his eyes were dark.
The article also introduced his career and past events. The author used spring and autumn style of writing and vague words to describe him as a delinquent boy who dropped out of middle school and fought, implying that he had a criminal record, and this time he was probably doing anything for money.
But the appearance in the selected photos is still very convincing, so in addition to doubts and contempt in the comments, there are also many girls who claim to be Yangou standing in line, stamping that he has inherited the beauty of Bai Wanyi and Bai Wei, and the one with the most likes That comment even suggested that he might as well make his debut directly from Bai Wanyi's company, so that he could make money and not have to go to court with his mother because of it.
After reading the entire article, Yu Mi's palms were soaked in cold sweat.
Zhou Xiaomei has come to her senses, and muttered while scrolling through related news: "Let me just say, the scene at the funeral last time was obviously him! But I'm still so surprised! It's so bizarre! Mimi, he never Have you mentioned anything about your family?"
Yu Mi's muddled mind was suddenly enlightened by her words, she hurriedly threw off the quilt and got out of bed, put on a coat casually, before she even had time to put on her slippers, she went to the next room and knocked on the door.
—he had talked to her about his family, but not their specific identities.As for her, she would not associate these things with the names she saw every day on the TV news.
Looking back now, the "sister" he often mentioned is actually very similar to Bai Wei's life, and the time when he was most depressed and vulnerable was also when Bai Wei died.
Did he hide this on purpose or inadvertently?Do you feel that there is no need to tell her, or...do you not trust her enough?
One question after another made her feel confused, she just wanted to see him soon and listen to him tell the truth.
He knocked on the door for a long time, but no one answered.
Yu Mi knocked more and more flustered, until Zhou Xiaomei leaned forward and handed over the phone: "Don't worry, call him!"
It was only then that she remembered that there was still such an advanced communication method. She snatched the phone and was about to dial when footsteps sounded on the stairs.She turned her head hastily, only to find that it was Mr. Saito who came.
Feeling disappointed for a while, Mr. Saito was about to continue dialing, but Mr. Saito spoke first: "Matsuri, who lives in Ori (here), is very early today, and Zhou (leaved)."
The movements in Yu Mi's hands paused: "Going away?"
Mr. Saito nodded: "Check out. (Check out.)" He compared the appearance of a plane with his hands, "He said, he has to catch the plane."
Catch a flight?where to?Why haven't I heard him talk about it before?
Before she recovered, Mr. Saito continued: "Secret (Mimi), someone is waiting for you."
"wait for me?"
"Brother Yu?" Zhou Xiaomei's voice came from behind, she pointed to her mobile phone, "I just saw his WeChat, let's get up."
Yu Mi saw Zhou Xiaomei's disheveled hair at a glance, and then remembered that she hadn't washed at all, so she regained her composure and ran back to the room.
The person waiting in the living room downstairs was indeed Jian Xingyu.
When Yu Mi finished tidying up and went downstairs, he was chatting softly with Mr. Saito, when he heard footsteps, he raised his head and smiled slightly: "Good morning, Mimi."
Yu Mi was a little listless: "Good morning, Brother Yu."
Jian Xingyu watched her walk in front of her silently, and then asked softly: "Mimi, do you want to chat?"
It was very cold by the lake in the early morning, the fog curled up on the lake, and the water surface was calm and waveless.Mount Fuji and the reflection in the lake are like a pair of twins, quietly enveloped in this layer of dreamlike misty mist.
There was almost no one by the lake, Yu Mi couldn't help shivering when he saw the clouds of white air he exhaled.
"Did you read the domestic news in the morning?"
Jian Xingyu asked suddenly.
Yu Mi knew what he was referring to, and gave a soft "hmm".
"So... I guess he never told you the secret, did he?"
She didn't even make an "um" sound, she just nodded slightly.
The movement is so small that it's barely noticeable.
Jian Xingyu stopped and looked down at her.Although he knew that there would be a day when he would tell the truth, the rare low pressure of the little girl still made him feel distressed.
What to do - what he was going to say next would make her even more sad...
"Mimi, I want to apologize to you first."
Yu Mi raised her head in surprise, "Why" was written in her eyes.
Jian Xingyu took a light breath, and said slowly, "I actually know that Shi Jin is Bai Wei's younger brother."
Ignoring the change in her expression, he continued:
"The reason why I didn't tell you is because this matter is also related to me. When I don't know what Shi Jin wants to do, I don't want to involve you. Maybe it's because of my selfishness, the past has passed , I don’t want to mention it again.” He sighed softly, “…But I was wrong, he had a much greater influence on you than I expected. It is my responsibility that things turned out like this, I didn’t Protect you."
He stared at Yu Mi's slightly pale face, and asked with a trace of uncertain hesitation: "Tell me Mimi, do you... like him?"
"I..." Yu Mi bit her lip, thought for a while, and finally nodded.
A glint of gloom flashed across Jian Xingyu's eyes, he was silent for a moment, and then asked, "Did he confess his love to you first?"
Yu Mi was a little surprised: "Yes..."
"Sure enough." Jian Xingyu frowned slightly, and his face became serious, "His purpose is the same as I thought."
"Brother Yu!" Yu Mi panicked, and couldn't help reaching out to grab his sleeve, "Are you hiding something from me? What's the matter?"
Jian Xingyu looked at the round and small hand on his sleeve, and wanted to hold it, but in the end he just turned his gaze to Mount Fuji in the distance.
"This story is quite long, and I don't know where to start. Why don't we start when I met Bai Wei in England eight years ago."
"Bai Wei? Is that... Bai Wei?"
"Yes, she was not a female star at that time, but just my girlfriend."
Not long after Jian Xingyu graduated from high school, the mother and son went to England under Jian Yunfan's arrangement, in the name of a better life, but in fact, Jian Yunfan was forced by family pressure to send them far away.
The distant country, the unfamiliar environment, his father's indifference, and his mother's resentment made Jian Xingyu, who was not yet 20 years old at the time, fall into great confusion.
But he is a person who is unwilling to admit defeat, and he quickly adjusted his state.A year later, he was admitted to Imperial Business School with honors.
He and Bai Wei met during a student exchange activity.
Bai Wei came to the UK to study drama, and although she already has a certain reputation in China, here, she is just an ordinary female student, beautiful, enthusiastic, free, and has many suitors.
But she happened to notice Jian Xingyu, who was quiet and even indifferent in the crowd, and managed to get his contact information. During chats and invitations, she got to know each other and attracted each other.
Their complicated and unfortunate families have created a similar state of mind for the two young people. Love is like a rose in full bloom, and being together is a matter of course.
Those days were beautiful, we were each other's first love, and we loved each other so intensely that we thought that all the troubles were just passing by and not worth mentioning.
"That's when I knew that Bai Wei had a younger brother. Because Bai Wanyi's stage name was Wei An when he was young, the names of the two siblings were Wei and An. Bai Wei always called him Xiao An. I didn't know him. There are other names, Bai Wei doesn't mention him very often."
"I heard that they rarely saw each other because of their separation since they were young. I always thought that their relationship was not good. It wasn't until one time that Bai Wei gave up an important exam and went back to China directly. I didn't know that her father passed away. Xiao An So he dropped out of school and became a bad boy."
Hearing this, Yu Mi couldn't help correcting him: "He's not a bad boy, it's just that he didn't go to school for a while..."
Jian Xingyu took a deep look at her: "Do you believe what he said?"
Yu Mi bit her lip and didn't answer.
She didn't know about other things, but at least in these details, what Shi Jin said was not much different from what Jian Xingyu said, and she...would believe him.
Jian Xingyu shook his head, and continued: "It was Bai Wei who forced Xiao An to go back to school and urged him all the time. Later, Xiao An went to Communication University—did you know? Their father was a professor at Communication University, and Ouyang Kunpeng of Radio and Television has a deep friendship. This is the reason why he can work in the radio station as soon as he graduates, and he can leave as he pleases during working hours."
No matter how dull Yu Mi was, this time she could hear the slight mocking and disdain in his words.
He has always been fair and gentle, what's wrong with him?
Once again, she couldn't help but retort: "His program is doing very well, the ratings are very high, 'Time' is a host recognized by many people..." In short, he is definitely not a relational accountant who goes to dawdle!
Her urgent and aggrieved tone surprised Jian Xingyu, she never liked to argue, let alone refute him face to face for anyone.This can only show that that person is really important to her.
His eyes turned cold, and he didn't want to delve into this topic, after all, this is not the point he wants to say, the point is——
"It was almost the same year that Xiao An was admitted to university, and Bai Wei and I broke up."
"why?"
yeah why?
Maybe it's because they are both proud of each other?He wholeheartedly wanted to be affirmed by his father, while she was eager to get rid of the shackles of her mother. One worked hard rigorously, the other yearned for freedom... The two young and vigorous people, no one was willing to compromise, and gradually quarrels arose.
The conflict was formed by the accumulation of many small things, but the fuse of the outbreak came from the announcement that Bai Wanyi sent to the domestic media.
Ever since she discovered the relationship between Bai Wei's boyfriend and the "Yunzhou" Group, the former topic queen has been brewing an opportunity to bring Bai Wei back into the public eye.She found someone to follow her and secretly took pictures, bought trending searches, created topics, and successfully made Bai Wei, who had been silent for a long time, occupy the headlines of the entertainment section for several days in a row.
As a result of this incident, Jian Yunfan's wife took the opportunity to make a big fuss, causing Jian Yunfan to be furious, and once stopped all expenses for Jian Xingyu's mother and son during their stay in England.
The ridicule of the married children, the anger of his father, and the crying of his mother made Jian Xingyu completely realize that this is not a relationship suitable for continuing to develop. He still has a lot of things to do, and he cannot ruin his future just like this.
He chose to let go, but Bai Wei couldn't accept it.
At first, she waited at every place he had to pass, confessed affectionately, and pleaded earnestly, but in every cold response and ruthless rejection of him, her self-esteem was worn down to the bottom, and the paranoid side of her character was wiped out. Zoom in infinitely.
"She started dating different men and kept changing boyfriends. The domestic media revealed that her private life was messy, and she didn't care. Although I don't think too much of myself, but she will become like this, and I should take part of the responsibility .”
"She and Chen Jiaqi also met during that time. Chen Jiaqi and I are alumni, Baicheng Films and Yunzhou Group have also cooperated, and we have a good relationship. When Bai Wei was still dating me, Chen Jiaqi always treated her Very accommodating."
The name "Chen Jiaqi" sounded familiar, Yu Mi thought about it carefully, and then remembered that it was reported in the entertainment news that Bai Wei chose to commit suicide because this Mr. Chen was getting engaged.
Of course, this is just "allegedly".
The sun rises on the other side of Mount Fuji, and a few rays of sunlight shine on the lake through the thick clouds. When the breeze picks up, the lake surface is sparkling and the light mist is blown away.
Even so, Yu Mi still felt cold and couldn't help hugging his shoulders gently.
Jian Xingyu and Bai Wei's past really surprised her, but no matter how bizarre it was, it was a world far away from her, so forget it.What she cares about is why he told her these things, where is the part related to her in these past events?
This must not be what he really wanted to say, she intuitively felt that what he was going to say next was the key point.
This made her very uneasy.
Jian Xingyu paused for a long time this time before continuing.
"When I knew Shi Jin was Xiao An, I was very surprised and had doubts, because there is no such a coincidence in the world. In fact, there is no such thing." He sighed softly, "I still remember that time, Did he answer the phone call for you? He told me personally that without me, Bai Wei would not have died. "
Yu Mi suddenly raised her head and met Jian Xingyu's deep eyes.
"So, Shi Jin thinks that I indirectly killed Bai Wei. Mimi, it's not accidental that he appeared in front of you. He came for me from the beginning. He lost his most important family member, so he came to snatch her. The most important person by my side, that person, is you."
"Their brothers and sisters are all paranoid people in their bones."
"Mimi, the moment you fell in love with him, I've already lost."
His voice was slow, with a trace of suppressed anger and helplessness.It was because he was too confident in himself, and underestimated Shi Jin's methods too much, and he still had a little luck in his heart, and didn't want to involve Yu Mi in his past.It was his repeated concessions that gave the other party an opportunity.
That man approached her premeditatedly and took her heart away, but he didn't love her at all.
So this kind of revenge is the most heartbreaking.
(2) The subverted world
According to the plan, the next three days will be spent in Tokyo, and Yu Mi has arranged enough time for herself to visit famous dessert shops hidden in every corner of the city.
But Zhou Xiaomei found out sensitively that since Shi Jin suddenly returned to China that day, the atmosphere of the whole team seemed to have dropped to the bottom all of a sudden.Although Yu Mi didn't say anything, she was clearly in the center of the low pressure vortex, she rarely spoke, basically didn't smile, and she wasn't even interested in those dessert shops that were included in her list.If it wasn't for Jian Xingyu who forced her to go, she wouldn't even want to go out.
The most frightening thing is that she doesn't want to eat any of them, no matter if it's full-bodied wagashi, or a fresh and tender wagyu feast!
I do not want to eat!
Oh my god, is this still the Yu Xiaomi she knew who would never give up delicious food even if the end of the world comes?
Because of this, Zhou Xiaomei also had something on her mind. According to her speculation, Yu Mi's ghostly appearance must have something to do with Shi Jin, and depending on the situation, it might also have something to do with Jian Xingyu.She secretly made up an annual drama, but she didn't dare to ask Yu Mi, so she had to drag Yuan Pangpang to complain crazily.
"Fat Pang Pang Pang Pang Pang Pang Pang, do you think Xiaomi has lost her love? Shall I test her?"
"Fatty, fat, let's analyze and analyze, what roles did Young Master Shi and Brother Yu play? Who is the affectionate male number one, and who is the cannon fodder male second?"
"Fatty Pangpang, you said we got Xiaomi drunk, will she tell the truth? It hurts me to see her..."
……
Yuan Pangpang, who was swiping his phone with his head down, was so disturbed that he raised his phone in front of her: "Look for yourself!"
Zhou Xiaomei glanced at it, was immediately attracted by the pictures and texts, and exclaimed, "What? Gossip?! What the hell is Shi Jin doing?"
Before she could finish her sentence, Yuan Pangpang yanked her sleeves violently. She followed his gaze and couldn't help but thump in her heart.I saw Yu Mi, who was supposed to taste new products with Jian Xingyu in the store, was standing behind her. What's worse, Yu Mi's eyes were looking at the mobile phone in her hand impartially.
"You... have you finished eating?"
Zhou Xiaomei tried to put the phone back to Yuan Pangpang while laughing, but Yu Mi said softly, "Can you show me?"
Zhou Xiaomei was a little hesitant, but it was more deliberate to say "no" at this moment, so she had to bring the phone over slowly, and said by the way: "You also know these paparazzi, they are best at catching wind and shadows, it's unbelievable..."
Yu Mi didn't speak, took the phone and silently turned it on.
It's today's entertainment bulletin, and the headline reads the words "Brother Baiwei".
Perhaps it was because Bai Wei's topicality was too high, or maybe it was deliberately done by someone with a heart. In just two days, Shi Jin, who is "Bai Wei's younger brother", has been on the entertainment news several times.
Although the angle of view of the photo accompanying the picture is far, the clarity is good.The first two photos were of Shi Jin's car. The window was half open, and two people could be seen in the car. The driver's seat was Shi Jin, and the passenger seat was a beautiful woman with sunglasses covering half of her face.
The second picture shows two people getting out of the car. The beauty took off her sunglasses and turned her face halfway, talking to Shi Jin. From the shooting angle, the two are relatively close and their poses are very intimate.
The last two shots are the shots of entering the entrance guard of the corridor. The beauty happened to turn her head back, and through the gaps in the leaves, she happened to take a picture of a straight face with long hair fluttering and a tall stature. Although the picture is a bit blurry, it does not damage her beauty.
Yu Mi recognized it immediately, this was the girl who drove the red Porsche at Su Rui's wedding.At that time, it was because she called Shi Jin's name that her nose was bleeding...
I don't know why, although she is normally face-blind, she still remembers her face.
Sure enough, girls are born with a sixth sense.
Looking further down, the girl's identity is given directly below——the niece of Ouyang Kunpeng, the director of China Radio and Television Station, the campus belle of the Media University, who is currently an intern at the radio station, her name is Xiao Ai.
It's Xiao Ai, the substitute host of "Walking with Time"!
The article stated that the two entered and exited at the same time, they were suspected of being a couple, and analyzed Shi Jin's prospect of entering the entertainment industry, claiming that if he chooses to debut, a real relationship may affect his stardom.At the end of the article, there is also an interview video of Bai Wanyi, in which she responded affectionately as a mother: "No matter what he decides, I will support him."
Yu Mi's mind was a little messed up.
The Shi Jin in the photo and the Shi Jin in the news had the same name and the same face, but it made her feel very strange.
It's hard to imagine that two days ago, he was still holding her hand and walking through the ancient streets of Kyoto, watching the sun rise and the moon set in a small town by the lake together, that kiss with the taste of matcha, the sweet and bitter aroma seemed to still linger in her heart. Between the lips and teeth.
Those... are all dreams, right?
What a beautiful dream, it was the best dream she had ever had in her 23 years of ordinary life... But the dream must be woken up after all.
Zhou Xiaomei pondered her expression, carefully picked up the mobile phone in her hand, and said in a low voice: "Don't believe these reports, they are all routines... You also know that Bai Wanyi, a big boss in the entertainment industry, how do you want to publish the draft? Just post it as you like... If you have any questions, why not ask Shi Jin directly... Hey, hey, what's wrong with you, Xiaomi, don't cry! Don't cry!"
cry?
Yu Mi stretched out her hand in a daze, and the moment her fingertips touched the wet corners of her eyes, tears flowed down her face.
She couldn't remember the last time she cried. Ever since she developed the food skills, there was no trouble that couldn't be solved with food, but now... grievances, sourness, self-blame, and inexplicable regrets.All of a sudden, it came surging, twisting my heart fiercely, and I couldn't control myself at all.
That's what heartbreak feels like... can't stop, can't stop, makes people breathless.
She raised the back of her hand to wipe away her tears, but wiped more and more, and finally gave up altogether, squatting down slowly, and buried her head in her knees.
The light was all annihilated, and the tears flowed wantonly, overflowing the back of the hand, and wet the corner of the clothes.The music in the store is soft and the sunshine outside is just right—so be it, that’s fine, she’s just an ordinary girl in the crowd, there won’t be any dramatic legends happening, only tears are real, Let's pay homage to that precious colorful fantasy dream that has died.
Cinderella will not meet the prince, it is just a fairy tale.
Outside of fairy tales, is her life.
After coming back from Japan, Valentine's Day is only a few days away.
Yu Mi was busy in the store for three whole days, and didn't even return home.She had already received a lot of orders while she was away, and after returning to China, she put on a hundred more chocolate gift boxes in addition to the limited pre-sale, and they were all booked soon.
She added a lot of workload to herself, even baked cake embryos and went to the market to pick fruits by herself, and was still packing in the middle of the night, even toothbrushes and towels were bought for her by Zhou Xiaomei from a nearby convenience store.
Zhou Xiaomei and Yuan Pangpang were relieved a lot because of this, but they were even more worried.
Since crying on the streets of Japan that day, Yu Mi seems to have calmed down a lot. Although his expression is not very vivid, at least his face is no longer ashen.
Unexpectedly, she became a workaholic...
Zhou Xiaomei thought of many ways to divert her attention, such as searching for new gourmet shops in the city, such as the new movies in Amway Cinemas, or pretending to casually mention that the Pomeranian in the braised chicken restaurant next door gave birth to a baby...
However, in Yu Mi's eyes, everything is inferior to work.
Only she and Yuan Pangpang can eat the limited seafood, and only she and Yuan Pangpang can watch the bought movie tickets.As for the Pomeranian baby, Yu Mi took the time to take a look, but the distance is too close, it doesn't take 5 minutes to go back and forth...
To make matters worse, she didn't even care about the tiramisu and sent it directly to Zhou Xiaomei's home for foster care.
This was so different from Lin Zihao's time. Zhou Xiaomei was a little panicked, so she had to ask Jian Xingyu for help.
Jian Xingyu has officially let go of the operation of "Honey Talk" and devoted all his energy to the management of the hotel.He had just taken office, and there was a mountain of things to deal with at hand, and the endless meetings made him nervous, but even so, when he saw Zhou Xiaomei's distress message, he put down the documents at hand and called Yu Mi immediately .
"The number you have dial can not be reached……"
He frowned, and continued to dial, until the third time the power-off prompt came from the receiver, and then he hung up the phone.After thinking about it, he sent a message: "Are you free tonight? Let's have dinner together!"
But until seven o'clock in the evening, Yu Mi still didn't reply.
The secretary came in and knocked on the door, reminding him that there was a business dinner at eight o'clock.He lowered his head and rubbed the center of his eyebrows, making a decision in an instant.
"Say I'm unwell and it's inconvenient to participate."
After returning from Japan, Jian Xingyu has never been in touch with Yu Mi.
It's not that he doesn't care, it's just that this time, he wants her to face it alone until she understands that there is no pain that time can't take away-this time is destined to be difficult, but his little girl must learn to be strong in order to transform .
It doesn't matter how long, he will wait until the day when she can be beside him.
However, he was not as calm as he imagined.
Only two days later, Zhou Xiaomei was burning with anxiety because of the obviously exaggerated text message and the unreachable phone call.
Was he being too cruel to her?Maybe what she needs at this moment is not growth, but companionship...
It was almost eight o'clock when we arrived at "Honey Talk".There were no customers in the store, Zhou Xiaomei and Yuan Pangpang were huddled on a table in the corner eating takeaway.Since returning from Japan, Yu Mi hasn't cooked, and the two have eaten takeaway for three days.
As soon as Jian Xingyu entered, Zhou Xiaomei immediately jumped up as if seeing a savior, pointed to the operating room, and whispered: "I'm counting the gift boxes inside, I haven't eaten dinner yet."
Jian Xingyu nodded, gently pushed the door open and entered.
The large operating table is neatly filled with gift bags, which are arranged according to specifications and varieties.A small figure was shuttled among them, with half-length hair tied into a small knot on the top of the head, wearing a sweater and overalls, holding a typed list in one hand, and a pen in the other, checking each one. Items in the gift bag.
There was a box of chocolate samples on the table near the door. Jian Xingyu opened it casually, and a rich and sweet aroma came out.
This Valentine's Day chocolate gift box mainly focuses on handmade chocolate truffles, which come in several flavors such as matcha, black chocolate, white chocolate, and almond, paired with the new coconut-flavored truffle balls and black currant chocolate, with a total of [-] pieces in each box.Each piece of chocolate is served with an engraved paper holder, which is placed in separate compartments.The color of the carton is simple milky white and dark coffee. There is a "Honey Words" Logo card in the box, which looks low-key and warm.
He picked up a black truffle chocolate and put it in his mouth. The slightly bitter cocoa powder on the surface was quickly wrapped in smooth and sweet chocolate, but the two tastes that should be opposite were entangled and fused on the tip of his tongue. Sweet and bitter are inseparable, just like like love.
He stood quietly for a while, seeing that she didn't notice him, he raised his hand and knocked on the door lightly.
"Mimi?"
Yu Mi looked up suddenly.
"Brother Yu?"
I haven't seen her for two days, her round face seems to be smaller again, her jaw is pointed, her eyes are bigger, and her dark circles are more obvious.
Jian Xingyu's heart ached, and he frowned: "Mimi, why didn't you answer the phone?"
She froze for a moment, then remembered to take out her mobile phone and take a look: "Uh...the battery is out, it's turned off."
How long has it been since you looked at your phone?
He sighed and asked, "Have you eaten?"
She shook her head slightly: "I don't want to eat."
He reached out and took away the paper and pen in her hand, and said in a gentle but unquestionable tone: "Go out and have a rest, I'll make it for you."
Yu Mi was stunned for a moment, but did not refute. Maybe it was because she had been used to treating the man in front of her as a decision maker for a long time. Under his seemingly gentle but strong opinion, her obedience was almost instinctive.
Or maybe, she no longer has the strength or the mood to refute.
Half an hour later, Zhou Xiaomei and Yuan Pangpang, who had just finished eating takeout, watched Jian Xingyu bring out a hot plate of spaghetti with tomato bolognese from the kitchen, and put it directly on the table in front of Yu Mi.
The appearance is so pretty, the aroma is so tempting, and it’s a thousand times better than takeaway...
Should the differential treatment be so obvious!
But no matter how greedy they are, they still have to know each other, so the two left angrily, and by the way, they made an appointment with a few friends, and went to the stall for a while.
"There are no ingredients in the refrigerator, so I can only make this." Jian Xingyu sat down in front of Yu Mi, and sighed softly, "I remember, you used to fill up the refrigerator no matter what, and you could find all kinds of delicious food in it." of."
Yu Mi picked up the fork, rolled the noodles unconsciously, and said softly, "Because I don't have time..."
Jian Xingyu interrupted her: "What you need now is not to be busy, but to have a vacation."
"But tomorrow is Valentine's Day..." means that you must work and cannot take a holiday.
"You're not the only one in the store, there's Xiaomei and Pangpang as well. And you know you're too busy, why do you need to add an order?" There was a little accusation in his tone, but it was more helpless and distressed, " Mimi, everyone knows that you are very sad. But you can’t solve the problem by avoiding it, you can only overcome it by facing it.”
"I'm not sad." She muttered softly, rolled up a small roll of noodles and put it in her mouth, adding vaguely, "Work makes people happy."
Jian Xingyu stared at her deeply, the dark circles under her eyes were comparable to national treasures, what "makes people happy", did she treat everyone who cared about her as fools?
He remembered that a few days ago, she was crying bitterly on the crowded street in Tokyo, and he always stood behind her, neither stopping nor comforting her.He knew that she needed a complete catharsis, and those hurting thorns would be pulled out bit by bit with tears.
She couldn't be more sad than that moment, and everything will be fine.
But now, even though she had returned home, those thorns seemed to be deeper than he imagined.
Damn Shi Jin, what did he do to her?
It should have been stopped from the beginning, and he should not be allowed to invade her life casually from the beginning!
His silence made Yu Mi a little uneasy, she raised her head and licked the ketchup at the corner of her mouth, and said, "It's delicious, thank you."
Jian Xingyu came back to his senses: "Then eat more."
"I miss it so much." She rolled up another fork of noodles, "We used to cook all kinds of delicious food in different ways whenever we had time."
He smiled: "You can do it now, call me anytime you want to eat."
Yu Mi silently took a bite of the noodles, stared blankly for a while, then shook her head: "I can't...you're too busy now..."
Seeing her expression, his heart moved, and he couldn't help stretching out his hand, crossed the table and gently held her fingers, and said softly: "For you, I will always have time."
Yu Mi was startled, but did not move.
Jian Xingyu quietly looked at the little girl in front of him, her face was pale, her eyes were darkened, and the corners of her mouth were still stained with ketchup.He found her out of the crowd, and he took much courage and peace from her.
He has been with her for so long.
How could he give her up to someone else!
The impulsive feeling deep in his heart made him tighten his hands, and he was about to say something when a pleasant wind chime sounded in his ears.
someone is coming?
Immediately afterwards, a strange female voice said slowly, "Excuse me, is Miss Yu there?"
(3) Light and shadow
This voice seemed to be a spell to unravel the dream. When the first word sounded, Yu Mi quickly withdrew her hand, stood up and looked at the door.
"That's me, what do you need..."
The ending was interrupted by a contagious light smile: "Yo, Xingyu is here too, what a coincidence."
At first glance, Yu Mi could only describe the woman in front of her as "elegant and luxurious".A mink fur coat with a golden skirt exposed underneath. Even though it was freezing outside, he wore stiletto shoes. The delicate hair and makeup concealed the traces of time, and his body and skin remained in good condition. There is a sense of superior oppression.
Yu Mi thought she looked familiar, but couldn't remember where she saw her.
"excuse me, you are?"
Before the other party could answer, Jian Xingyu also stood up: "Ms. Bai, why are you here?"
His face changed slightly, and he was slightly sullen, but his tone remained polite.
"Can't I come to your store? No matter what, we are not strangers." The lady walked, looked around the store, and sighed softly, "But Xingyu, your store is too shabby. It doesn't fit your identity." Then, she stood still in front of Yu Mi, and smiled slowly, "Hi, Miss Yu, I'm Bai Wanyi, the mother of Bai Wei and Shi Jin."
Yu Mi looked at this topical character whom he had only met on TV, and his heart was actually very calm.
Maybe it's because she has experienced too many things during this period, constantly subverting her normal life, and now no amount of accidents can surprise her.
She just pulled out the chair very politely: "Hi, please sit down."
Bai Wanyi raised her eyebrows, gave a soft "heh", and said, "No need, I'll leave after a few words."
Yu Mi said "Oh" obediently: "Then wait a minute, I'll pour you tea."
Her calm look made the menacing Bai Wanyi a little bit at a loss.Bai Wanyi said in a cold tone: "There's no need to be hypocritical. With this time, Ms. Yu might as well tell me first, where did you hide Xiao An?"
Yu Mi was slightly startled: "Xiao An?"
Shi Jin?
Wasn't it just photographed by the media two days ago?As a mother, she also stated that she would "respect his choice", so why is she questioning herself now?
And to Shi Jin, she should have been an irrelevant person long ago...
"I didn't hide him..."
Seeing her bewildered face, Bai Wanyi was a little uncertain whether she really didn't know or was hiding it on purpose. She frowned and said, "Miss Yu, I asked someone to check Xiao An's whereabouts in the last three months. He was with you most of the time. Zhou went to Japan with you. He has no other friends, and his passport and ID card are not with him. If you know where he is, you'd better tell me honestly."
"I really do not know!"
"Really?" Bai Wanyi's tone was full of suspicion, she looked her up and down, and then said slowly, "Miss Yu, don't blame me for not reminding you—although I can't do anything to you personally, but friends in the media There are still quite a few. Now there are many boring and hostile people on the Internet. It’s like a lunatic to stir up casually. You ordinary people may not have the opportunity to feel it, but with all due respect, that kind of energy is enough to destroy your life... "
"Enough!" Jian Xingyu stepped in front of Yu Mi, his voice lowered, "Ms. Bai, since you are Bai Wei's mother, I don't want to utter bad words. But you are threatening an irrelevant person here. , I'm afraid I'll lose my identity."
Bai Wanyi did not take his words to heart at all, and smiled lightly: "Identity? Does the young master of the Jian family know that he wants an identity? Then what are you doing here? Aren't you afraid that your family will find out and break you up?"
Jian Xingyu glanced at Yu Mi, and replied, "I don't need you to worry about my affairs."
"Why don't you bother, after all, you almost became my son-in-law." Bai Wanyi's smile suddenly turned cold, "Now Weiwei is gone, but you are still alive and well."
Jian Xingyu heard the sarcasm in her words, and his face suddenly became serious: "Why, Ms. Bai, like Xiao An, thinks that Bai Wei's death has something to do with me?"
Bai Wanyi didn't comment, and said leisurely: "It's what you think it is... By the way, there is one thing I haven't thanked you for yet. If you didn't call me last time, I still don't know where Xiao An is. That child She deliberately avoided me, and even disappeared after the funeral."
When she spoke, she was smiling and seemed amiable, but Jian Xingyu's heart felt a little cold, and she subconsciously looked at Yu Mi beside her.
Sure enough, Yu Mi met his gaze, full of astonishment.
I finished what I wanted to say, and Bai Wanyi didn't want to stay for long: "I just came here today to inquire about Xiaoan's whereabouts. Since you all said that you don't know, then I will leave first. But Xingyu, don't forget, you and I It's the friendly army, if your little girlfriend hides Xiao An, and someone happens to take pictures of you, then it's not very good."
After finishing speaking, the smile on the corner of her mouth disappeared suddenly, she turned around, and walked away gracefully and calmly step by step.
It wasn't until the sound of high heels disappeared at the door that Yu Mi breathed a sigh of relief.A star is a star, with a strong aura, coupled with bad intentions, it doubles the sense of oppression.
She looked at Jian Xingyu beside her, and suddenly felt a feeling of "the end of the banquet"——
Bai Wanyi said that they are allies, yes, Bai Wanyi is right, Bai Wanyi reminded her - he is different from her.
It was the "honey words" that allowed them to have an intersection, but it was only an intersection.They are in two completely different worlds.
She shouldn't have hesitated, before Bai Wanyi came in, she should have pushed that hand away.
"Brother Yu..."
"Mimi, listen to me!" Jian Xingyu interrupted her suddenly, "Yes, I have contacted Bai Wanyi, I hope she can settle Shi Jin's matter as soon as possible, and don't let him appear by your side again. My The original intention is to protect you, if this makes you feel uncomfortable, I'm sorry..."
Yu Mi nodded and interrupted him: "I understand."
Her tone was so peaceful, Jian Xingyu was stunned instead, and suddenly he couldn't utter many explanations that he had thought up.
Yu Mi continued: "But from what she said just now, it seems that because of Bai Wei's matter, she is hostile to you. You'd better be careful...Although everyone said that she is a person who can use her own flesh and blood for profit, But she is still a mother after all. When Bai Wei dies, she will definitely not be indifferent. I'm afraid she will turn her anger on you..."
"...Well, I will pay attention, thank you."
"I'm the one who should say thank you." Yu Mi smiled slightly, "Brother Yu, actually you don't need to explain anything to me, I don't blame you, and I will never be angry with you. As for the others People... If you want to leave, no one can keep you, I'm not as fragile as you think, don't worry."
As she spoke, she cleared the plates on the table. After the episode just now, the noodles were completely cold.
This calmness was even a little indifferent, and the smile was full of life. It was less than an hour before and after, and the distance seemed to be more than a thousand miles.
Jian Xingyu's heart sank, and he reached out to hold her shoulder.
"Mimi, I'm not..."
What am I not?Jian Xingyu, who was always good at words, suddenly didn't know how to express it.
After a moment of silence, he pulled her hard into his arms with his wrist, kissed her hair sideways, and whispered in a low voice: "I'd rather you blame me, Mimi, I just don't want to give you up to others... I like it You... like it very much!"
All he can express, the most intense emotion, the hardest effort to keep, are all in this sentence, all in this hug.
He thought she would understand.
At first, Yu Mi's body was a little stiff, but he quickly reached out and slowly pushed him away.
It didn't take much effort, because at such a close distance, she only needed a little resistance, and the other party could sense it.He never does things that force others, and it's the same this time.If she didn't accept it, he had no choice but to let go.
"I'm sorry Brother Yu, I can't think about this now."
Jian Xingyu looked at her quietly, she lowered her head, her broken hair softly covered her forehead - she still looked so soft and docile, but her heart was already extremely firm.
She has never liked dealing with strangers, and she has a strong castle in her heart.Once you make a decision, you will only hide yourself deeper.
All this is because of Shi Jin, and also because of him.
But at this moment, what else can I say besides saying "yes"?Who made him not "he"?The most helpless thing in this world is that no matter how hard you try, you won't be her "he".
Yu Mi rubbed the patterns on the floor tiles with her toes: "Tomorrow is Valentine's Day, the store will be very busy, I have to go back to rest. Brother Yu, you should go back early."
"Ah."
His brevity made her even more uneasy, she wanted to scratch a hole in the floor tiles with her toes, she said dully: "I'm sorry, really, I..."
"It's okay." He stretched out his hand and gently stroked the little hair on the top of her hair. "Fool, there's no need to apologize for this kind of thing. It's getting late, do you want me to see you off?"
"No need, I have a small eDonkey."
"Okay, I'll go first, come to me if you need anything." His voice has returned to normal, with a gentle smile, "Don't forget, honey still has my shares, you have to work hard with mine .”
"Well, definitely."
Jian Xingyu withdrew his hand, turned and walked outside.He forced himself not to look back, not to see if she was looking up, not to explore whether there was nostalgia and dependence in her eyes.
Leave calmly, this is his bottom line.
After finally returning to the community, Yu Mi felt that her whole body was going to fall apart.
It's only been a few days, but it seems like centuries.From head to toe, tired from the inside out, every strand of hair is clamoring for a good night's sleep.
Anyway, the gift boxes have been arranged and the invoices are ready. She plans to ask for leave from tomorrow and sleep for three days and three nights, ignoring everything and seeing no one.
After parking the small eDonkey, she was about to go upstairs when she suddenly noticed something strange.
This underground garage is used to park two-wheel vehicles, and she heard footsteps in the passage behind just now.At first, I thought it was a resident picking up the car and parking, but now when I turned around, I found that there was no one behind me.
Where did the owner of the footsteps just now go?
The lights in the garage were dim, and the light tubes occasionally made a hissing noise. Looking up, there were rows of cars parked in a mess, as if someone would come out of the shadows at any moment.
Scenes from the horror movies he had watched since he was a child flooded into his head. Yu Mi took two steps back and hesitated for two seconds between running into the elevator room and going back the same way, when he heard a slight noise. There was a dark shadow, she didn't have time to think, and ran towards the nearest elevator.
Footsteps sounded behind her. Was that person chasing her?
Her heart was beating violently, but the more anxious she walked, the slower she walked. She circled a few times in the chaos of traffic, but instead of throwing off the people behind her, the sound of her footsteps became closer.
A hand was on her shoulder.
"Help... um..."
She cried out subconsciously, but her mouth was covered from behind immediately, her back pressed into a broad chest, and a familiar breath surrounded her.
"Mimi, it's me..."
The low magnetic voice has a unique and exciting ending.
Her body trembled uncontrollably, even when she mistakenly thought she was being followed, her heart didn't tremble like this.
The time was silent, one second, one second, and tears fell down unpreparedly.
unacceptable!How much mental construction she had to do to convince herself to accept the reality, how much effort it took to calm herself down!
Why does it still show up!
So capricious!
Shi Jin's bastard!
(End of this chapter)
(1) Memory of London
Because of this sudden kiss, Yu Mi almost stayed up all night, opened his eyes until the early morning before falling asleep in a daze.
But before she had slept for a long time, she heard Zhou Xiaomei's scream, which woke her up from her dark dream.
She covered her ears with her hands, and hummed in pain: "Sister Xiaomei, please let me go..."
"No..." Zhou Xiaomei stretched out her hand and pushed her hard, "Mimi, look at today's entertainment headlines! Shi Jin! Shi Jin is on the headlines!"
Hearing the word "Shi Jin", Yu Mi immediately became confused, sat up from the bed, and grabbed Zhou Xiaomei's mobile phone.
It's really Shi Jin!
The photo seems to be a candid shot, the time should be before I met her, the background is the live broadcast room, he is taking off his earphones, most of his long flaxen bangs are behind his ears by the earphones, revealing his smooth forehead, his lips are tightly pursed, His eyes were cold.
It was only after seeing this photo that Yu Mi deeply felt how different he is now from what he was then.
But right now is not the time to be emotional, she hastily exited to look at the source of the photo - the entertainment version of a well-known portal.
The title is "Shock! Brother Bai Wei is fighting for property, or going to court with his biological mother!".
Bai Wei...brother?
She was stunned for a moment.
The finger that slides the phone trembles slightly—the person who wrote this news obviously came prepared. There are many photos about Shi Jin in the article, a photo with Bai Wei when he was a child, then elementary school, middle school...the last one is not long ago Bai Wei's funeral, in the photo, he was dressed in black with black hair, and his eyes were dark.
The article also introduced his career and past events. The author used spring and autumn style of writing and vague words to describe him as a delinquent boy who dropped out of middle school and fought, implying that he had a criminal record, and this time he was probably doing anything for money.
But the appearance in the selected photos is still very convincing, so in addition to doubts and contempt in the comments, there are also many girls who claim to be Yangou standing in line, stamping that he has inherited the beauty of Bai Wanyi and Bai Wei, and the one with the most likes That comment even suggested that he might as well make his debut directly from Bai Wanyi's company, so that he could make money and not have to go to court with his mother because of it.
After reading the entire article, Yu Mi's palms were soaked in cold sweat.
Zhou Xiaomei has come to her senses, and muttered while scrolling through related news: "Let me just say, the scene at the funeral last time was obviously him! But I'm still so surprised! It's so bizarre! Mimi, he never Have you mentioned anything about your family?"
Yu Mi's muddled mind was suddenly enlightened by her words, she hurriedly threw off the quilt and got out of bed, put on a coat casually, before she even had time to put on her slippers, she went to the next room and knocked on the door.
—he had talked to her about his family, but not their specific identities.As for her, she would not associate these things with the names she saw every day on the TV news.
Looking back now, the "sister" he often mentioned is actually very similar to Bai Wei's life, and the time when he was most depressed and vulnerable was also when Bai Wei died.
Did he hide this on purpose or inadvertently?Do you feel that there is no need to tell her, or...do you not trust her enough?
One question after another made her feel confused, she just wanted to see him soon and listen to him tell the truth.
He knocked on the door for a long time, but no one answered.
Yu Mi knocked more and more flustered, until Zhou Xiaomei leaned forward and handed over the phone: "Don't worry, call him!"
It was only then that she remembered that there was still such an advanced communication method. She snatched the phone and was about to dial when footsteps sounded on the stairs.She turned her head hastily, only to find that it was Mr. Saito who came.
Feeling disappointed for a while, Mr. Saito was about to continue dialing, but Mr. Saito spoke first: "Matsuri, who lives in Ori (here), is very early today, and Zhou (leaved)."
The movements in Yu Mi's hands paused: "Going away?"
Mr. Saito nodded: "Check out. (Check out.)" He compared the appearance of a plane with his hands, "He said, he has to catch the plane."
Catch a flight?where to?Why haven't I heard him talk about it before?
Before she recovered, Mr. Saito continued: "Secret (Mimi), someone is waiting for you."
"wait for me?"
"Brother Yu?" Zhou Xiaomei's voice came from behind, she pointed to her mobile phone, "I just saw his WeChat, let's get up."
Yu Mi saw Zhou Xiaomei's disheveled hair at a glance, and then remembered that she hadn't washed at all, so she regained her composure and ran back to the room.
The person waiting in the living room downstairs was indeed Jian Xingyu.
When Yu Mi finished tidying up and went downstairs, he was chatting softly with Mr. Saito, when he heard footsteps, he raised his head and smiled slightly: "Good morning, Mimi."
Yu Mi was a little listless: "Good morning, Brother Yu."
Jian Xingyu watched her walk in front of her silently, and then asked softly: "Mimi, do you want to chat?"
It was very cold by the lake in the early morning, the fog curled up on the lake, and the water surface was calm and waveless.Mount Fuji and the reflection in the lake are like a pair of twins, quietly enveloped in this layer of dreamlike misty mist.
There was almost no one by the lake, Yu Mi couldn't help shivering when he saw the clouds of white air he exhaled.
"Did you read the domestic news in the morning?"
Jian Xingyu asked suddenly.
Yu Mi knew what he was referring to, and gave a soft "hmm".
"So... I guess he never told you the secret, did he?"
She didn't even make an "um" sound, she just nodded slightly.
The movement is so small that it's barely noticeable.
Jian Xingyu stopped and looked down at her.Although he knew that there would be a day when he would tell the truth, the rare low pressure of the little girl still made him feel distressed.
What to do - what he was going to say next would make her even more sad...
"Mimi, I want to apologize to you first."
Yu Mi raised her head in surprise, "Why" was written in her eyes.
Jian Xingyu took a light breath, and said slowly, "I actually know that Shi Jin is Bai Wei's younger brother."
Ignoring the change in her expression, he continued:
"The reason why I didn't tell you is because this matter is also related to me. When I don't know what Shi Jin wants to do, I don't want to involve you. Maybe it's because of my selfishness, the past has passed , I don’t want to mention it again.” He sighed softly, “…But I was wrong, he had a much greater influence on you than I expected. It is my responsibility that things turned out like this, I didn’t Protect you."
He stared at Yu Mi's slightly pale face, and asked with a trace of uncertain hesitation: "Tell me Mimi, do you... like him?"
"I..." Yu Mi bit her lip, thought for a while, and finally nodded.
A glint of gloom flashed across Jian Xingyu's eyes, he was silent for a moment, and then asked, "Did he confess his love to you first?"
Yu Mi was a little surprised: "Yes..."
"Sure enough." Jian Xingyu frowned slightly, and his face became serious, "His purpose is the same as I thought."
"Brother Yu!" Yu Mi panicked, and couldn't help reaching out to grab his sleeve, "Are you hiding something from me? What's the matter?"
Jian Xingyu looked at the round and small hand on his sleeve, and wanted to hold it, but in the end he just turned his gaze to Mount Fuji in the distance.
"This story is quite long, and I don't know where to start. Why don't we start when I met Bai Wei in England eight years ago."
"Bai Wei? Is that... Bai Wei?"
"Yes, she was not a female star at that time, but just my girlfriend."
Not long after Jian Xingyu graduated from high school, the mother and son went to England under Jian Yunfan's arrangement, in the name of a better life, but in fact, Jian Yunfan was forced by family pressure to send them far away.
The distant country, the unfamiliar environment, his father's indifference, and his mother's resentment made Jian Xingyu, who was not yet 20 years old at the time, fall into great confusion.
But he is a person who is unwilling to admit defeat, and he quickly adjusted his state.A year later, he was admitted to Imperial Business School with honors.
He and Bai Wei met during a student exchange activity.
Bai Wei came to the UK to study drama, and although she already has a certain reputation in China, here, she is just an ordinary female student, beautiful, enthusiastic, free, and has many suitors.
But she happened to notice Jian Xingyu, who was quiet and even indifferent in the crowd, and managed to get his contact information. During chats and invitations, she got to know each other and attracted each other.
Their complicated and unfortunate families have created a similar state of mind for the two young people. Love is like a rose in full bloom, and being together is a matter of course.
Those days were beautiful, we were each other's first love, and we loved each other so intensely that we thought that all the troubles were just passing by and not worth mentioning.
"That's when I knew that Bai Wei had a younger brother. Because Bai Wanyi's stage name was Wei An when he was young, the names of the two siblings were Wei and An. Bai Wei always called him Xiao An. I didn't know him. There are other names, Bai Wei doesn't mention him very often."
"I heard that they rarely saw each other because of their separation since they were young. I always thought that their relationship was not good. It wasn't until one time that Bai Wei gave up an important exam and went back to China directly. I didn't know that her father passed away. Xiao An So he dropped out of school and became a bad boy."
Hearing this, Yu Mi couldn't help correcting him: "He's not a bad boy, it's just that he didn't go to school for a while..."
Jian Xingyu took a deep look at her: "Do you believe what he said?"
Yu Mi bit her lip and didn't answer.
She didn't know about other things, but at least in these details, what Shi Jin said was not much different from what Jian Xingyu said, and she...would believe him.
Jian Xingyu shook his head, and continued: "It was Bai Wei who forced Xiao An to go back to school and urged him all the time. Later, Xiao An went to Communication University—did you know? Their father was a professor at Communication University, and Ouyang Kunpeng of Radio and Television has a deep friendship. This is the reason why he can work in the radio station as soon as he graduates, and he can leave as he pleases during working hours."
No matter how dull Yu Mi was, this time she could hear the slight mocking and disdain in his words.
He has always been fair and gentle, what's wrong with him?
Once again, she couldn't help but retort: "His program is doing very well, the ratings are very high, 'Time' is a host recognized by many people..." In short, he is definitely not a relational accountant who goes to dawdle!
Her urgent and aggrieved tone surprised Jian Xingyu, she never liked to argue, let alone refute him face to face for anyone.This can only show that that person is really important to her.
His eyes turned cold, and he didn't want to delve into this topic, after all, this is not the point he wants to say, the point is——
"It was almost the same year that Xiao An was admitted to university, and Bai Wei and I broke up."
"why?"
yeah why?
Maybe it's because they are both proud of each other?He wholeheartedly wanted to be affirmed by his father, while she was eager to get rid of the shackles of her mother. One worked hard rigorously, the other yearned for freedom... The two young and vigorous people, no one was willing to compromise, and gradually quarrels arose.
The conflict was formed by the accumulation of many small things, but the fuse of the outbreak came from the announcement that Bai Wanyi sent to the domestic media.
Ever since she discovered the relationship between Bai Wei's boyfriend and the "Yunzhou" Group, the former topic queen has been brewing an opportunity to bring Bai Wei back into the public eye.She found someone to follow her and secretly took pictures, bought trending searches, created topics, and successfully made Bai Wei, who had been silent for a long time, occupy the headlines of the entertainment section for several days in a row.
As a result of this incident, Jian Yunfan's wife took the opportunity to make a big fuss, causing Jian Yunfan to be furious, and once stopped all expenses for Jian Xingyu's mother and son during their stay in England.
The ridicule of the married children, the anger of his father, and the crying of his mother made Jian Xingyu completely realize that this is not a relationship suitable for continuing to develop. He still has a lot of things to do, and he cannot ruin his future just like this.
He chose to let go, but Bai Wei couldn't accept it.
At first, she waited at every place he had to pass, confessed affectionately, and pleaded earnestly, but in every cold response and ruthless rejection of him, her self-esteem was worn down to the bottom, and the paranoid side of her character was wiped out. Zoom in infinitely.
"She started dating different men and kept changing boyfriends. The domestic media revealed that her private life was messy, and she didn't care. Although I don't think too much of myself, but she will become like this, and I should take part of the responsibility .”
"She and Chen Jiaqi also met during that time. Chen Jiaqi and I are alumni, Baicheng Films and Yunzhou Group have also cooperated, and we have a good relationship. When Bai Wei was still dating me, Chen Jiaqi always treated her Very accommodating."
The name "Chen Jiaqi" sounded familiar, Yu Mi thought about it carefully, and then remembered that it was reported in the entertainment news that Bai Wei chose to commit suicide because this Mr. Chen was getting engaged.
Of course, this is just "allegedly".
The sun rises on the other side of Mount Fuji, and a few rays of sunlight shine on the lake through the thick clouds. When the breeze picks up, the lake surface is sparkling and the light mist is blown away.
Even so, Yu Mi still felt cold and couldn't help hugging his shoulders gently.
Jian Xingyu and Bai Wei's past really surprised her, but no matter how bizarre it was, it was a world far away from her, so forget it.What she cares about is why he told her these things, where is the part related to her in these past events?
This must not be what he really wanted to say, she intuitively felt that what he was going to say next was the key point.
This made her very uneasy.
Jian Xingyu paused for a long time this time before continuing.
"When I knew Shi Jin was Xiao An, I was very surprised and had doubts, because there is no such a coincidence in the world. In fact, there is no such thing." He sighed softly, "I still remember that time, Did he answer the phone call for you? He told me personally that without me, Bai Wei would not have died. "
Yu Mi suddenly raised her head and met Jian Xingyu's deep eyes.
"So, Shi Jin thinks that I indirectly killed Bai Wei. Mimi, it's not accidental that he appeared in front of you. He came for me from the beginning. He lost his most important family member, so he came to snatch her. The most important person by my side, that person, is you."
"Their brothers and sisters are all paranoid people in their bones."
"Mimi, the moment you fell in love with him, I've already lost."
His voice was slow, with a trace of suppressed anger and helplessness.It was because he was too confident in himself, and underestimated Shi Jin's methods too much, and he still had a little luck in his heart, and didn't want to involve Yu Mi in his past.It was his repeated concessions that gave the other party an opportunity.
That man approached her premeditatedly and took her heart away, but he didn't love her at all.
So this kind of revenge is the most heartbreaking.
(2) The subverted world
According to the plan, the next three days will be spent in Tokyo, and Yu Mi has arranged enough time for herself to visit famous dessert shops hidden in every corner of the city.
But Zhou Xiaomei found out sensitively that since Shi Jin suddenly returned to China that day, the atmosphere of the whole team seemed to have dropped to the bottom all of a sudden.Although Yu Mi didn't say anything, she was clearly in the center of the low pressure vortex, she rarely spoke, basically didn't smile, and she wasn't even interested in those dessert shops that were included in her list.If it wasn't for Jian Xingyu who forced her to go, she wouldn't even want to go out.
The most frightening thing is that she doesn't want to eat any of them, no matter if it's full-bodied wagashi, or a fresh and tender wagyu feast!
I do not want to eat!
Oh my god, is this still the Yu Xiaomi she knew who would never give up delicious food even if the end of the world comes?
Because of this, Zhou Xiaomei also had something on her mind. According to her speculation, Yu Mi's ghostly appearance must have something to do with Shi Jin, and depending on the situation, it might also have something to do with Jian Xingyu.She secretly made up an annual drama, but she didn't dare to ask Yu Mi, so she had to drag Yuan Pangpang to complain crazily.
"Fat Pang Pang Pang Pang Pang Pang Pang, do you think Xiaomi has lost her love? Shall I test her?"
"Fatty, fat, let's analyze and analyze, what roles did Young Master Shi and Brother Yu play? Who is the affectionate male number one, and who is the cannon fodder male second?"
"Fatty Pangpang, you said we got Xiaomi drunk, will she tell the truth? It hurts me to see her..."
……
Yuan Pangpang, who was swiping his phone with his head down, was so disturbed that he raised his phone in front of her: "Look for yourself!"
Zhou Xiaomei glanced at it, was immediately attracted by the pictures and texts, and exclaimed, "What? Gossip?! What the hell is Shi Jin doing?"
Before she could finish her sentence, Yuan Pangpang yanked her sleeves violently. She followed his gaze and couldn't help but thump in her heart.I saw Yu Mi, who was supposed to taste new products with Jian Xingyu in the store, was standing behind her. What's worse, Yu Mi's eyes were looking at the mobile phone in her hand impartially.
"You... have you finished eating?"
Zhou Xiaomei tried to put the phone back to Yuan Pangpang while laughing, but Yu Mi said softly, "Can you show me?"
Zhou Xiaomei was a little hesitant, but it was more deliberate to say "no" at this moment, so she had to bring the phone over slowly, and said by the way: "You also know these paparazzi, they are best at catching wind and shadows, it's unbelievable..."
Yu Mi didn't speak, took the phone and silently turned it on.
It's today's entertainment bulletin, and the headline reads the words "Brother Baiwei".
Perhaps it was because Bai Wei's topicality was too high, or maybe it was deliberately done by someone with a heart. In just two days, Shi Jin, who is "Bai Wei's younger brother", has been on the entertainment news several times.
Although the angle of view of the photo accompanying the picture is far, the clarity is good.The first two photos were of Shi Jin's car. The window was half open, and two people could be seen in the car. The driver's seat was Shi Jin, and the passenger seat was a beautiful woman with sunglasses covering half of her face.
The second picture shows two people getting out of the car. The beauty took off her sunglasses and turned her face halfway, talking to Shi Jin. From the shooting angle, the two are relatively close and their poses are very intimate.
The last two shots are the shots of entering the entrance guard of the corridor. The beauty happened to turn her head back, and through the gaps in the leaves, she happened to take a picture of a straight face with long hair fluttering and a tall stature. Although the picture is a bit blurry, it does not damage her beauty.
Yu Mi recognized it immediately, this was the girl who drove the red Porsche at Su Rui's wedding.At that time, it was because she called Shi Jin's name that her nose was bleeding...
I don't know why, although she is normally face-blind, she still remembers her face.
Sure enough, girls are born with a sixth sense.
Looking further down, the girl's identity is given directly below——the niece of Ouyang Kunpeng, the director of China Radio and Television Station, the campus belle of the Media University, who is currently an intern at the radio station, her name is Xiao Ai.
It's Xiao Ai, the substitute host of "Walking with Time"!
The article stated that the two entered and exited at the same time, they were suspected of being a couple, and analyzed Shi Jin's prospect of entering the entertainment industry, claiming that if he chooses to debut, a real relationship may affect his stardom.At the end of the article, there is also an interview video of Bai Wanyi, in which she responded affectionately as a mother: "No matter what he decides, I will support him."
Yu Mi's mind was a little messed up.
The Shi Jin in the photo and the Shi Jin in the news had the same name and the same face, but it made her feel very strange.
It's hard to imagine that two days ago, he was still holding her hand and walking through the ancient streets of Kyoto, watching the sun rise and the moon set in a small town by the lake together, that kiss with the taste of matcha, the sweet and bitter aroma seemed to still linger in her heart. Between the lips and teeth.
Those... are all dreams, right?
What a beautiful dream, it was the best dream she had ever had in her 23 years of ordinary life... But the dream must be woken up after all.
Zhou Xiaomei pondered her expression, carefully picked up the mobile phone in her hand, and said in a low voice: "Don't believe these reports, they are all routines... You also know that Bai Wanyi, a big boss in the entertainment industry, how do you want to publish the draft? Just post it as you like... If you have any questions, why not ask Shi Jin directly... Hey, hey, what's wrong with you, Xiaomi, don't cry! Don't cry!"
cry?
Yu Mi stretched out her hand in a daze, and the moment her fingertips touched the wet corners of her eyes, tears flowed down her face.
She couldn't remember the last time she cried. Ever since she developed the food skills, there was no trouble that couldn't be solved with food, but now... grievances, sourness, self-blame, and inexplicable regrets.All of a sudden, it came surging, twisting my heart fiercely, and I couldn't control myself at all.
That's what heartbreak feels like... can't stop, can't stop, makes people breathless.
She raised the back of her hand to wipe away her tears, but wiped more and more, and finally gave up altogether, squatting down slowly, and buried her head in her knees.
The light was all annihilated, and the tears flowed wantonly, overflowing the back of the hand, and wet the corner of the clothes.The music in the store is soft and the sunshine outside is just right—so be it, that’s fine, she’s just an ordinary girl in the crowd, there won’t be any dramatic legends happening, only tears are real, Let's pay homage to that precious colorful fantasy dream that has died.
Cinderella will not meet the prince, it is just a fairy tale.
Outside of fairy tales, is her life.
After coming back from Japan, Valentine's Day is only a few days away.
Yu Mi was busy in the store for three whole days, and didn't even return home.She had already received a lot of orders while she was away, and after returning to China, she put on a hundred more chocolate gift boxes in addition to the limited pre-sale, and they were all booked soon.
She added a lot of workload to herself, even baked cake embryos and went to the market to pick fruits by herself, and was still packing in the middle of the night, even toothbrushes and towels were bought for her by Zhou Xiaomei from a nearby convenience store.
Zhou Xiaomei and Yuan Pangpang were relieved a lot because of this, but they were even more worried.
Since crying on the streets of Japan that day, Yu Mi seems to have calmed down a lot. Although his expression is not very vivid, at least his face is no longer ashen.
Unexpectedly, she became a workaholic...
Zhou Xiaomei thought of many ways to divert her attention, such as searching for new gourmet shops in the city, such as the new movies in Amway Cinemas, or pretending to casually mention that the Pomeranian in the braised chicken restaurant next door gave birth to a baby...
However, in Yu Mi's eyes, everything is inferior to work.
Only she and Yuan Pangpang can eat the limited seafood, and only she and Yuan Pangpang can watch the bought movie tickets.As for the Pomeranian baby, Yu Mi took the time to take a look, but the distance is too close, it doesn't take 5 minutes to go back and forth...
To make matters worse, she didn't even care about the tiramisu and sent it directly to Zhou Xiaomei's home for foster care.
This was so different from Lin Zihao's time. Zhou Xiaomei was a little panicked, so she had to ask Jian Xingyu for help.
Jian Xingyu has officially let go of the operation of "Honey Talk" and devoted all his energy to the management of the hotel.He had just taken office, and there was a mountain of things to deal with at hand, and the endless meetings made him nervous, but even so, when he saw Zhou Xiaomei's distress message, he put down the documents at hand and called Yu Mi immediately .
"The number you have dial can not be reached……"
He frowned, and continued to dial, until the third time the power-off prompt came from the receiver, and then he hung up the phone.After thinking about it, he sent a message: "Are you free tonight? Let's have dinner together!"
But until seven o'clock in the evening, Yu Mi still didn't reply.
The secretary came in and knocked on the door, reminding him that there was a business dinner at eight o'clock.He lowered his head and rubbed the center of his eyebrows, making a decision in an instant.
"Say I'm unwell and it's inconvenient to participate."
After returning from Japan, Jian Xingyu has never been in touch with Yu Mi.
It's not that he doesn't care, it's just that this time, he wants her to face it alone until she understands that there is no pain that time can't take away-this time is destined to be difficult, but his little girl must learn to be strong in order to transform .
It doesn't matter how long, he will wait until the day when she can be beside him.
However, he was not as calm as he imagined.
Only two days later, Zhou Xiaomei was burning with anxiety because of the obviously exaggerated text message and the unreachable phone call.
Was he being too cruel to her?Maybe what she needs at this moment is not growth, but companionship...
It was almost eight o'clock when we arrived at "Honey Talk".There were no customers in the store, Zhou Xiaomei and Yuan Pangpang were huddled on a table in the corner eating takeaway.Since returning from Japan, Yu Mi hasn't cooked, and the two have eaten takeaway for three days.
As soon as Jian Xingyu entered, Zhou Xiaomei immediately jumped up as if seeing a savior, pointed to the operating room, and whispered: "I'm counting the gift boxes inside, I haven't eaten dinner yet."
Jian Xingyu nodded, gently pushed the door open and entered.
The large operating table is neatly filled with gift bags, which are arranged according to specifications and varieties.A small figure was shuttled among them, with half-length hair tied into a small knot on the top of the head, wearing a sweater and overalls, holding a typed list in one hand, and a pen in the other, checking each one. Items in the gift bag.
There was a box of chocolate samples on the table near the door. Jian Xingyu opened it casually, and a rich and sweet aroma came out.
This Valentine's Day chocolate gift box mainly focuses on handmade chocolate truffles, which come in several flavors such as matcha, black chocolate, white chocolate, and almond, paired with the new coconut-flavored truffle balls and black currant chocolate, with a total of [-] pieces in each box.Each piece of chocolate is served with an engraved paper holder, which is placed in separate compartments.The color of the carton is simple milky white and dark coffee. There is a "Honey Words" Logo card in the box, which looks low-key and warm.
He picked up a black truffle chocolate and put it in his mouth. The slightly bitter cocoa powder on the surface was quickly wrapped in smooth and sweet chocolate, but the two tastes that should be opposite were entangled and fused on the tip of his tongue. Sweet and bitter are inseparable, just like like love.
He stood quietly for a while, seeing that she didn't notice him, he raised his hand and knocked on the door lightly.
"Mimi?"
Yu Mi looked up suddenly.
"Brother Yu?"
I haven't seen her for two days, her round face seems to be smaller again, her jaw is pointed, her eyes are bigger, and her dark circles are more obvious.
Jian Xingyu's heart ached, and he frowned: "Mimi, why didn't you answer the phone?"
She froze for a moment, then remembered to take out her mobile phone and take a look: "Uh...the battery is out, it's turned off."
How long has it been since you looked at your phone?
He sighed and asked, "Have you eaten?"
She shook her head slightly: "I don't want to eat."
He reached out and took away the paper and pen in her hand, and said in a gentle but unquestionable tone: "Go out and have a rest, I'll make it for you."
Yu Mi was stunned for a moment, but did not refute. Maybe it was because she had been used to treating the man in front of her as a decision maker for a long time. Under his seemingly gentle but strong opinion, her obedience was almost instinctive.
Or maybe, she no longer has the strength or the mood to refute.
Half an hour later, Zhou Xiaomei and Yuan Pangpang, who had just finished eating takeout, watched Jian Xingyu bring out a hot plate of spaghetti with tomato bolognese from the kitchen, and put it directly on the table in front of Yu Mi.
The appearance is so pretty, the aroma is so tempting, and it’s a thousand times better than takeaway...
Should the differential treatment be so obvious!
But no matter how greedy they are, they still have to know each other, so the two left angrily, and by the way, they made an appointment with a few friends, and went to the stall for a while.
"There are no ingredients in the refrigerator, so I can only make this." Jian Xingyu sat down in front of Yu Mi, and sighed softly, "I remember, you used to fill up the refrigerator no matter what, and you could find all kinds of delicious food in it." of."
Yu Mi picked up the fork, rolled the noodles unconsciously, and said softly, "Because I don't have time..."
Jian Xingyu interrupted her: "What you need now is not to be busy, but to have a vacation."
"But tomorrow is Valentine's Day..." means that you must work and cannot take a holiday.
"You're not the only one in the store, there's Xiaomei and Pangpang as well. And you know you're too busy, why do you need to add an order?" There was a little accusation in his tone, but it was more helpless and distressed, " Mimi, everyone knows that you are very sad. But you can’t solve the problem by avoiding it, you can only overcome it by facing it.”
"I'm not sad." She muttered softly, rolled up a small roll of noodles and put it in her mouth, adding vaguely, "Work makes people happy."
Jian Xingyu stared at her deeply, the dark circles under her eyes were comparable to national treasures, what "makes people happy", did she treat everyone who cared about her as fools?
He remembered that a few days ago, she was crying bitterly on the crowded street in Tokyo, and he always stood behind her, neither stopping nor comforting her.He knew that she needed a complete catharsis, and those hurting thorns would be pulled out bit by bit with tears.
She couldn't be more sad than that moment, and everything will be fine.
But now, even though she had returned home, those thorns seemed to be deeper than he imagined.
Damn Shi Jin, what did he do to her?
It should have been stopped from the beginning, and he should not be allowed to invade her life casually from the beginning!
His silence made Yu Mi a little uneasy, she raised her head and licked the ketchup at the corner of her mouth, and said, "It's delicious, thank you."
Jian Xingyu came back to his senses: "Then eat more."
"I miss it so much." She rolled up another fork of noodles, "We used to cook all kinds of delicious food in different ways whenever we had time."
He smiled: "You can do it now, call me anytime you want to eat."
Yu Mi silently took a bite of the noodles, stared blankly for a while, then shook her head: "I can't...you're too busy now..."
Seeing her expression, his heart moved, and he couldn't help stretching out his hand, crossed the table and gently held her fingers, and said softly: "For you, I will always have time."
Yu Mi was startled, but did not move.
Jian Xingyu quietly looked at the little girl in front of him, her face was pale, her eyes were darkened, and the corners of her mouth were still stained with ketchup.He found her out of the crowd, and he took much courage and peace from her.
He has been with her for so long.
How could he give her up to someone else!
The impulsive feeling deep in his heart made him tighten his hands, and he was about to say something when a pleasant wind chime sounded in his ears.
someone is coming?
Immediately afterwards, a strange female voice said slowly, "Excuse me, is Miss Yu there?"
(3) Light and shadow
This voice seemed to be a spell to unravel the dream. When the first word sounded, Yu Mi quickly withdrew her hand, stood up and looked at the door.
"That's me, what do you need..."
The ending was interrupted by a contagious light smile: "Yo, Xingyu is here too, what a coincidence."
At first glance, Yu Mi could only describe the woman in front of her as "elegant and luxurious".A mink fur coat with a golden skirt exposed underneath. Even though it was freezing outside, he wore stiletto shoes. The delicate hair and makeup concealed the traces of time, and his body and skin remained in good condition. There is a sense of superior oppression.
Yu Mi thought she looked familiar, but couldn't remember where she saw her.
"excuse me, you are?"
Before the other party could answer, Jian Xingyu also stood up: "Ms. Bai, why are you here?"
His face changed slightly, and he was slightly sullen, but his tone remained polite.
"Can't I come to your store? No matter what, we are not strangers." The lady walked, looked around the store, and sighed softly, "But Xingyu, your store is too shabby. It doesn't fit your identity." Then, she stood still in front of Yu Mi, and smiled slowly, "Hi, Miss Yu, I'm Bai Wanyi, the mother of Bai Wei and Shi Jin."
Yu Mi looked at this topical character whom he had only met on TV, and his heart was actually very calm.
Maybe it's because she has experienced too many things during this period, constantly subverting her normal life, and now no amount of accidents can surprise her.
She just pulled out the chair very politely: "Hi, please sit down."
Bai Wanyi raised her eyebrows, gave a soft "heh", and said, "No need, I'll leave after a few words."
Yu Mi said "Oh" obediently: "Then wait a minute, I'll pour you tea."
Her calm look made the menacing Bai Wanyi a little bit at a loss.Bai Wanyi said in a cold tone: "There's no need to be hypocritical. With this time, Ms. Yu might as well tell me first, where did you hide Xiao An?"
Yu Mi was slightly startled: "Xiao An?"
Shi Jin?
Wasn't it just photographed by the media two days ago?As a mother, she also stated that she would "respect his choice", so why is she questioning herself now?
And to Shi Jin, she should have been an irrelevant person long ago...
"I didn't hide him..."
Seeing her bewildered face, Bai Wanyi was a little uncertain whether she really didn't know or was hiding it on purpose. She frowned and said, "Miss Yu, I asked someone to check Xiao An's whereabouts in the last three months. He was with you most of the time. Zhou went to Japan with you. He has no other friends, and his passport and ID card are not with him. If you know where he is, you'd better tell me honestly."
"I really do not know!"
"Really?" Bai Wanyi's tone was full of suspicion, she looked her up and down, and then said slowly, "Miss Yu, don't blame me for not reminding you—although I can't do anything to you personally, but friends in the media There are still quite a few. Now there are many boring and hostile people on the Internet. It’s like a lunatic to stir up casually. You ordinary people may not have the opportunity to feel it, but with all due respect, that kind of energy is enough to destroy your life... "
"Enough!" Jian Xingyu stepped in front of Yu Mi, his voice lowered, "Ms. Bai, since you are Bai Wei's mother, I don't want to utter bad words. But you are threatening an irrelevant person here. , I'm afraid I'll lose my identity."
Bai Wanyi did not take his words to heart at all, and smiled lightly: "Identity? Does the young master of the Jian family know that he wants an identity? Then what are you doing here? Aren't you afraid that your family will find out and break you up?"
Jian Xingyu glanced at Yu Mi, and replied, "I don't need you to worry about my affairs."
"Why don't you bother, after all, you almost became my son-in-law." Bai Wanyi's smile suddenly turned cold, "Now Weiwei is gone, but you are still alive and well."
Jian Xingyu heard the sarcasm in her words, and his face suddenly became serious: "Why, Ms. Bai, like Xiao An, thinks that Bai Wei's death has something to do with me?"
Bai Wanyi didn't comment, and said leisurely: "It's what you think it is... By the way, there is one thing I haven't thanked you for yet. If you didn't call me last time, I still don't know where Xiao An is. That child She deliberately avoided me, and even disappeared after the funeral."
When she spoke, she was smiling and seemed amiable, but Jian Xingyu's heart felt a little cold, and she subconsciously looked at Yu Mi beside her.
Sure enough, Yu Mi met his gaze, full of astonishment.
I finished what I wanted to say, and Bai Wanyi didn't want to stay for long: "I just came here today to inquire about Xiaoan's whereabouts. Since you all said that you don't know, then I will leave first. But Xingyu, don't forget, you and I It's the friendly army, if your little girlfriend hides Xiao An, and someone happens to take pictures of you, then it's not very good."
After finishing speaking, the smile on the corner of her mouth disappeared suddenly, she turned around, and walked away gracefully and calmly step by step.
It wasn't until the sound of high heels disappeared at the door that Yu Mi breathed a sigh of relief.A star is a star, with a strong aura, coupled with bad intentions, it doubles the sense of oppression.
She looked at Jian Xingyu beside her, and suddenly felt a feeling of "the end of the banquet"——
Bai Wanyi said that they are allies, yes, Bai Wanyi is right, Bai Wanyi reminded her - he is different from her.
It was the "honey words" that allowed them to have an intersection, but it was only an intersection.They are in two completely different worlds.
She shouldn't have hesitated, before Bai Wanyi came in, she should have pushed that hand away.
"Brother Yu..."
"Mimi, listen to me!" Jian Xingyu interrupted her suddenly, "Yes, I have contacted Bai Wanyi, I hope she can settle Shi Jin's matter as soon as possible, and don't let him appear by your side again. My The original intention is to protect you, if this makes you feel uncomfortable, I'm sorry..."
Yu Mi nodded and interrupted him: "I understand."
Her tone was so peaceful, Jian Xingyu was stunned instead, and suddenly he couldn't utter many explanations that he had thought up.
Yu Mi continued: "But from what she said just now, it seems that because of Bai Wei's matter, she is hostile to you. You'd better be careful...Although everyone said that she is a person who can use her own flesh and blood for profit, But she is still a mother after all. When Bai Wei dies, she will definitely not be indifferent. I'm afraid she will turn her anger on you..."
"...Well, I will pay attention, thank you."
"I'm the one who should say thank you." Yu Mi smiled slightly, "Brother Yu, actually you don't need to explain anything to me, I don't blame you, and I will never be angry with you. As for the others People... If you want to leave, no one can keep you, I'm not as fragile as you think, don't worry."
As she spoke, she cleared the plates on the table. After the episode just now, the noodles were completely cold.
This calmness was even a little indifferent, and the smile was full of life. It was less than an hour before and after, and the distance seemed to be more than a thousand miles.
Jian Xingyu's heart sank, and he reached out to hold her shoulder.
"Mimi, I'm not..."
What am I not?Jian Xingyu, who was always good at words, suddenly didn't know how to express it.
After a moment of silence, he pulled her hard into his arms with his wrist, kissed her hair sideways, and whispered in a low voice: "I'd rather you blame me, Mimi, I just don't want to give you up to others... I like it You... like it very much!"
All he can express, the most intense emotion, the hardest effort to keep, are all in this sentence, all in this hug.
He thought she would understand.
At first, Yu Mi's body was a little stiff, but he quickly reached out and slowly pushed him away.
It didn't take much effort, because at such a close distance, she only needed a little resistance, and the other party could sense it.He never does things that force others, and it's the same this time.If she didn't accept it, he had no choice but to let go.
"I'm sorry Brother Yu, I can't think about this now."
Jian Xingyu looked at her quietly, she lowered her head, her broken hair softly covered her forehead - she still looked so soft and docile, but her heart was already extremely firm.
She has never liked dealing with strangers, and she has a strong castle in her heart.Once you make a decision, you will only hide yourself deeper.
All this is because of Shi Jin, and also because of him.
But at this moment, what else can I say besides saying "yes"?Who made him not "he"?The most helpless thing in this world is that no matter how hard you try, you won't be her "he".
Yu Mi rubbed the patterns on the floor tiles with her toes: "Tomorrow is Valentine's Day, the store will be very busy, I have to go back to rest. Brother Yu, you should go back early."
"Ah."
His brevity made her even more uneasy, she wanted to scratch a hole in the floor tiles with her toes, she said dully: "I'm sorry, really, I..."
"It's okay." He stretched out his hand and gently stroked the little hair on the top of her hair. "Fool, there's no need to apologize for this kind of thing. It's getting late, do you want me to see you off?"
"No need, I have a small eDonkey."
"Okay, I'll go first, come to me if you need anything." His voice has returned to normal, with a gentle smile, "Don't forget, honey still has my shares, you have to work hard with mine .”
"Well, definitely."
Jian Xingyu withdrew his hand, turned and walked outside.He forced himself not to look back, not to see if she was looking up, not to explore whether there was nostalgia and dependence in her eyes.
Leave calmly, this is his bottom line.
After finally returning to the community, Yu Mi felt that her whole body was going to fall apart.
It's only been a few days, but it seems like centuries.From head to toe, tired from the inside out, every strand of hair is clamoring for a good night's sleep.
Anyway, the gift boxes have been arranged and the invoices are ready. She plans to ask for leave from tomorrow and sleep for three days and three nights, ignoring everything and seeing no one.
After parking the small eDonkey, she was about to go upstairs when she suddenly noticed something strange.
This underground garage is used to park two-wheel vehicles, and she heard footsteps in the passage behind just now.At first, I thought it was a resident picking up the car and parking, but now when I turned around, I found that there was no one behind me.
Where did the owner of the footsteps just now go?
The lights in the garage were dim, and the light tubes occasionally made a hissing noise. Looking up, there were rows of cars parked in a mess, as if someone would come out of the shadows at any moment.
Scenes from the horror movies he had watched since he was a child flooded into his head. Yu Mi took two steps back and hesitated for two seconds between running into the elevator room and going back the same way, when he heard a slight noise. There was a dark shadow, she didn't have time to think, and ran towards the nearest elevator.
Footsteps sounded behind her. Was that person chasing her?
Her heart was beating violently, but the more anxious she walked, the slower she walked. She circled a few times in the chaos of traffic, but instead of throwing off the people behind her, the sound of her footsteps became closer.
A hand was on her shoulder.
"Help... um..."
She cried out subconsciously, but her mouth was covered from behind immediately, her back pressed into a broad chest, and a familiar breath surrounded her.
"Mimi, it's me..."
The low magnetic voice has a unique and exciting ending.
Her body trembled uncontrollably, even when she mistakenly thought she was being followed, her heart didn't tremble like this.
The time was silent, one second, one second, and tears fell down unpreparedly.
unacceptable!How much mental construction she had to do to convince herself to accept the reality, how much effort it took to calm herself down!
Why does it still show up!
So capricious!
Shi Jin's bastard!
