Chapter 54: A cooled heart
The weather in Hangzhou in February is as unpredictable as a two-year-old child.
It was about 1 o'clock at noon when I arrived. The sky was covered with large thick clouds, and the rain seemed to be contained in the clouds, making the air more sultry and humid. This made me feel like I had just flown from the cold Beijing and was thrown into the rice cooker from the refrigerator. Being familiar with is probably only a matter of length of time.
I came to Madeleine and found that it had a suspended sign. At the same time, I can't find any trace of Ye Yichen. Has he left here? There are too many questions in my heart, but the answers are nowhere to be found.
I decided to stay and wait. At the beginning of the Spring Festival, it is also a matter of course that I can't come to the store.
Every day after that, I wandered around the door of Madeleine. It was not until a week later that Ye Yichen finally appeared.
"Why don't you tell me when you come back?"
He opened the door of Madeleine and made me a cup of coffee.
"I can't contact you. You know I didn't bring anything when I left."
Madeleine still maintains the appearance when I left, but a few more new equipment has been added, and the cool chairs outside have been exposed to the wind and sun and look a little old.
"No, at least you can get in touch with Ranran. How can you find me if you can find her?" Ye Yichen's expression was indifferent and seemed to know everything about me.
"You know a lot."
I was not surprised by the fact that he knew that I had a connection with AnRAN. After all, he loved AnRAN so much and did not hesitate to get close to me, who was completely strange, and even lived with me in Hangzhou for two years, so that it was more not a normal human thing to do.
"Because you walked too unswd at that time, and your least brightest place was to tell me your whereabouts." Ye Yichen looked at me with a light smile.
The wind blew between us, and the hair slowly fluttered. He narrowed his eyes and smiled enchantingly and seductively. He is like a magic snake that has signed a contract with time, wandering through the past and the future, illusory and reality. People who don't know him will definitely be fascinated by his demons, and even if I have lived with him for two years, I can't say that I know him well. He is still an unpreventable existence.
"Do you want to come back to live? The house is still empty." His slender fingers gently stirred the coffee in the cup.
"Well, I should stay here all this time." I look at Madeleine, which has been handed over to him over the years, and no matter what he has done before, I should be grateful for it.
"Madeleine's key, employees are on holiday now. I'll introduce them to you one by one when they come back. Ye Yichen said and put the key on the table and pushed it in front of me.
We sat in Madeleine for an afternoon drinking coffee to catch up. Many times I wanted to ask him where my father had gone, but he stopped talking.
He's right. I didn't walk well, but now that I'm back, I shouldn't repeat my previous mistakes and let this man know too much about my whereabouts and my personal affairs.
There are too many secrets hidden in his body, and there are too many mysteries hidden in his words. I shouldn't make the same mistake, and I shouldn't give my sincerity and trust in others stupidly and easily.
"Is Xia Luolin there? Do you have your express delivery? Please come out and sign for it." A phone call from the courier interrupted me, who was cleaning the room seriously.
Although Ye Yichen has abided by our agreement and helped me take care of Madeleine for five years, the house I lived in before has been uninhabited for a long time and no one has cleaned up the dust.
It's strange that I've just arrived here. I haven't contacted anyone except Ye Yichen yesterday, and Yuan Meng should not know my address here.
I came to the door with doubts, but I didn't find any trace of express delivery. Is it a prank? I thought about going back to my room.
After a while, the self-proclaimed courier called me three times in a row. I'm a little impatient.
"What on earth are you going to do? If it's a prank, you'd better stop it. If you call again, I'll warn you of harassment." I said fiercely to the other end of the phone.
"I won't stand at the door of your store against the sun and joke with you. If you are Xia Luolin, come out and sign for it. I don't have time to wait here all the time."
This man seemed to be more angry than me. He hung up the phone before I could speak.
He just seemed to be talking about the door of the store. Is it Madeleine?
I hurried to the door of Madeleine and didn't even take off the headscarf and mask. Sure enough, when he saw the express car parked there, a man was sitting in the coffee table and knocking on the table impatiently, and fanning himself with the express waybill in the other hand.
After I signed for it, I found that the address was not my residence in Hangzhou, but the address of Madeleine.
I opened the express envelope, which contained a brown paper bag with the watermark of Situ in the upper left corner.
My heart trembled. As he said, he sent me a copy of the property certificate of my house and the sales contract.
It clearly states that half a year after I left, my father sold the house to Situ Lei for 100,000 yuan, almost the same price. And it was that year that I lost contact with my family.
So, Situ Lei must know where my father is now.
I was thinking that these certification materials were mixed with a piece of paper that had nothing to do with these: "I don't know when you came back and occupied my house. We are more or less old acquaintances. No matter how disgusted you are that you don't want to admit it, those things are also your indisputable facts. The temporary accommodation fee is 1500. If you have time, just transfer it to my account.
"Situ Lei, you are cruel enough."
I rubbed the paper into a ball and threw it out far away.
"Lei, I heard that Luo Lin is back?"
A woman with long hair sat charmingly beside Situ Lei and leaned her head slightly on his shoulder and said gently.
"How do you know?" Situ Lei stood up and could see that he did not want to get too close to this woman.
"Look at you, you always say such foreign words. As her good friend, it is necessary for me to pay close attention to his boyfriend's life and tell her that she can rest assured.
She stood up and walked behind Situ Lei, wrapped her hand around his waist, put her body on his back, and sucked the smell on his body.
"What have you done? I know that house is your little golden house, but as soon as she came back, you can't wait to hide her in. Han Heya closed her eyes and put her hands into Situ Lei's clothes layer by layer.
"Han Heya, don't go too much." Situ Lei stood there quietly, and his voice was as calm as a bowl of water. Let her make such a deviant move.
"I didn't ask you to hug me or let you kiss me. I like the smell on you and treat you like this. Or are you dissatisfied that I have heard the secret of you and your former little lover? Han Heya still cling to his back, with a charming and enchanting voice.
"What I have done to you in recent years can be seen by people with eyes in the school. It is entirely because of the debt and sympathy for Xia Luolin in your heart that I didn't catch you, but I am different. I will never do anything you don't like. I can also help you maintain the people you want to protect.
Han and Ya said as they put their hands into Situ Lei's shirt, and their fingers gently rose slightly along the lower abdomen and seemed to have a mermaid pattern and gradually slipped.
"Situ, there is your electricity..."
The door of the student union room was suddenly pushed open, and Situ Lei stood calmly beside the desk, while Han and Ya's hands behind him were frozen on Situ Lei's lower abdomen. Such a scene was looked at by the suddenly broken-in committee member.
"Didn't I tell you to knock on the door when you come in, another brainless waste!" Han Heya awkwardly pulled out her hand that reached into Situ Lei's clothes and scolded the discipline committee member who suddenly broke into her good deeds.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'll think about it next time." The committee member apologized repeatedly.
"Then get out of here. What are you doing standing here!" Han and Ya scolded.
Committee Fengji closed the door and blushed like a burning cloud after sunset. Knock on the door, remember to knock on the door next time. She leaned against the door and shattered with her eyes closed.
Suddenly, Commissioner Fengji seemed to think of something and rudely opened the door and shouted, "Han Heya! This is the student union. I'm a member of the discipline committee. What are you and President Situ doing here!!"
"Talk about things..." Han and Ya knew that they were at a loss and couldn't find a reasonable excuse.
"Bear by the way, what did you just say was mine?" Situ Lei asked calmly as if nothing had happened.
"Oh, yes, there is your phone number. Because the phone call of your student union has always been busy, so..." The more you talk, the lower your voice becomes.
"I see. Go out."
The previous peace in the office has been restored. Situ Lei said to Han Heya while tidying up his clothes, "Don't mess with the things of the student union in the future. In case you miss my business, I'm afraid your family won't be able to afford it."
"No matter what I say, I have helped your family so much. Is it reasonable for you to say this?" Han Heya sat at the desk in the office and looked at him with a charming smile.
"It seems that I didn't beg you to help me."
"Although I didn't beg you, the old man Situ Bohan is still very grateful to me, otherwise how could he transfer 3% of your Situ family shares to me?"
"How about that?" Situ Lei looked at her.
"I can't do anything, but I think I still have the right to play with the things here." Han Heya pulled out a telephone line from the corner of the table and plugged it back into the phone on the table with a smile.
"Now there are two of us left. Do you want to continue what you didn't finish just now?" With that, Han Heya took off his coat.
"I'm not interested in your body, and do you think there will be a shortage of women around me? You seem to be overconfident in your beauty. Situ Lei sneered and turned around and left the office.
The door closed quietly, and Han Heya looked at his back as he had just left. His hands were stiff on the skirt that had not yet been pulled down, and his face was like peach blossoms. His smile was charming and enchanting, which also made people shudder.
"Lei, have you met Xia Luolin?" Anlan's voice on the other end of the phone was a little impatient.
"Hmm."
"Are you leaving me again?" Anan's voice was very low, and she seemed to be afraid of what was happening.
"No."
"I booked a ticket back tomorrow. Don't leave me this time." Anlan hung up the phone.
Situ Lei put down the phone, took out his mobile phone and looked at the starfish pendant hanging on it. It was still as clear and transparent as it was then. It has not changed over time, nor will it change with the situation.
That clarity is like us in those years. We will be together just because of a love, because the approach of a stranger becomes vigilant, sharp, and even suspicious and hurt each other.
And now, too many emotions and those unfinished wishes have been drawn an indelible gap by reality. You are not you, and I am no longer me. Strange, cold, fear. After tearing off this layer of self-defense mask, will it still be the simple and clear you and me?
