Chapter 97: Two Choices-2
I fell asleep unconsciously. When I woke up again, I found that I was lying ** and the room had been cleaned up, no longer as messy as I saw last night.
"Ye Yichen..."
I called twice to the empty room. I don't know whether it was too empty because the room was too big or because most of the things in the room had been smashed. My shouts will circle several times in the room and then return to my ears with a few echoes.
I searched the whole room and found no trace of his figure or footprints, as if he had never appeared.
After experiencing the storm last night, I firmly believe that he will not leave me back to Hangzhou. But this without a trace still makes me faintly worried.
It seems that his father will not pay the compensation of 18 million for him. What are we going to do next, and what will happen if he doesn't follow his father's intention and go back to Hangzhou together? My thoughts are messy, and I always feel that there is something key missing that I don't hold.
During the day, the shallow water bay is more like a scene of the whole family playing together. Parents take their children, or girls from the same school keep rubbing sunscreen on their bodies, and then lie rigidly on the beach and bask in the sun. He treats himself as an iron plate squid, and the morale of not roasting is charred on the outside and tender on the inside.
The day is obviously not as cool as in the middle of the night, and the sun is always hot and makes people's skin dry and itchy. There is also a layer of clearly visible white bubbles floating on the surface of the sea.
Like a small life naturally growing from the sea, it was washed to the beach by waves layer by layer, and then disappeared scatteredly.
I wandered aimlessly on the beach, occasionally stretching out my hand on the edge of the waves and feeling the sea slapped on my arm. The surface of the sea has been a little warm, and I will feel a trace of coolness when I go deep into it. This kind of cold and hot touch is not likeable or annoying.
People are full of noise during the day and feasting at night. No matter where we live, it is nothing more than this. But no matter day or night, I don't seem to miss the two.
Just as I was about to reach the end of the beach, I suddenly found a familiar figure sitting on a reef in the distance. I smiled and passed from behind. I patted him on the shoulder with difficulty: "What's the stupidity here?" I raised my head and asked Ye Yichen, who was sitting in a daze on the top of the reef.
"Come out to get some air. Why did you wake up so early?"
"It's already three poles a day. Is it still early?" I looked at him and said with a smile.
The corners of his mouth injured yesterday have been dark blue and slightly swollen, but it does not affect the beauty of this white and tender facial features.
"Pear me up." I reached out to him and asked him to pull me to this huge reef.
"What are you doing up here?"
"Go up with you. Don't you think it's unfair for me to see two different heights at the same time and in the same place?" I looked up at him with a rogue face.
When the sunlight shines into the sea, no one knows how deep the infinitely extended sunlight can penetrate the sea. Just like Ye Yichen at this time, people can't explore what made him so irritable and impatient to go to such a place to calm down and sort out his mood.
He reluctantly jumped off the reef, and then picked me up and climbed the reef with a little difficulty.
"Hey, am I heavy? Look at your reluctant expression." I poked the corners of his blue mouth, his instinctively 'hiced', and then looked down at me with a fierce look: "I'll throw you down when I'm making trouble."
I bit my lip and closed my mouth knowingly. But his appearance just now really makes people laugh when they see it.
He gently put me on the huge reef and sat next to me. He stared at the distant coastline again and couldn't look back.
From here, the visual senses are very different from what I saw on the beach. The sky seems to be several levels higher than when it was on the flat ground, and the sky is blue like a figure that has never had a cloud. Occasionally, there is a big wave, and the sea will jump up when it touches the reef and splash on my face.
But whenever there are waves, no matter how seriously Ye Yichen looks up in the distance, he will hold my body tightly with his arms, as if he is afraid of being swept into another world by the ruthless waves.
"Can you tell me what's on your mind?" I asked tentatively.
"Do I seem to have something on my mind?"
"If you don't want to say that I'm not forced to say it, but don't say those marginal lies to perfunctory me. If I want to hear and want to see your disguise, I have seen enough as early as two years ago."
I said it calmly and clearly, and I think I know him well enough. It's better to say some words in person. He will always unconsciously hide himself.
"You are not a fool. Even if I don't say it, you should have seen my father's purpose and what happened between what happened last night."
He didn't answer my question directly, but returned it to me indifferently and cleverly.
"Is it really that simple as I saw?"
"In your opinion, how complicated this matter will be. My father is willing to solve the money problem for me, but on the condition that I go back to Hangzhou with him. It's that simple."
He was outspoken and seemed to have lost the struggle and difficulty of making a choice about this matter.
"Why does he insist on you leaving here?"
"Because, you..."
He turned his head, and his sharp eyes were scattered on me with the surging sea again.
"But it doesn't matter. I have chosen you, and I won't regret it. According to the old guy's personality, he probably booked a plane ticket back to Hangzhou last night. His stubborn personality, if I don't take the initiative to bow my head and admit my mistake, he will not think of me again and will never bother me again.
Ye Yichen's sharp eyes suddenly turned into a relaxed and compladen face, and his eyes narrowed into a small gap, as if he had finally broke free from the heavy shackles and been released.
"Then what are the consequences of what your father said?"
"It doesn't matter. Anyway, every time he quarrels with him for so many years, he will say some alarmist words to scare people. I'm not a child. How can I still care about those?"
Although what he said is so light, I always feel that there are things that are only hidden from me. Perhaps the day after tomorrow formed this kind of temperament of not being able to fully trust a person. No matter how important or leisurely he said, I can't completely trust him 100%. But this suspicion only hesitated for a few seconds in my heart, and then another bigger wave interrupted my mind.
"Then, what about that money?"
"Since I could agree to compensation at that time, I naturally have my own certainty. Do you think I will have no savings these years and will only be a young master at home? The corners of his mouth rose, as if he was fully confident in himself.
I didn't say anything. I wanted to sell Madeleine if I was really desperate. But when I thought that Madeleine was not a private product of me alone, which also contained his painstaking efforts, I stopped talking.
"Let's go, it's rare to Hong Kong. Don't waste your summer vacation on that old man."
After Ye Yichen finished speaking, he picked me up and jumped off the reef.
Without any psychological preparation, I only knew that I was picked up lightly again, and then his body landed into the sea, like a rock falling into the water, stirring up countless splashes.
The water filled his thighs and gradually rose to his waist: "Is it fun?" He looked at me with a hippie face and couldn't open my eyes with water splash.
In the next few days, Ye Yichen took me to eat all the delicious food in Hong Kong, large and small. No matter day or night, you can have a panoramic view of the different landscapes that can be seen at different times.
We have barbecued black and tasteless food by the sea, and have also enjoyed romance in major hotels. We have wandered around this huge shopping mecca, but when browsing many stores, we will still consciously bypass those luxury stores, or admire them from afar and then walk away.
Ye Yichen also asked me whether I liked it or not, whether I should go in and buy one, at least as a so-called luxury souvenir, but I just shook my head and did not make any impassioned and angry statement.
I don't like those expensive jewelry and so-called luxury goods. Those things are just useless things that show exaggeration and vanity in front of others. They can't get warmth and can't buy sincerity. But on the contrary, it can bring those hypocritical people around you, sigh and praise you and flatter you.
"Why do you live next door but haven't looked for me? Don't you know it's me who lives next door?"
We walked on the secluded path back to the hotel, holding the corn we had just bought from the night market snack stall, nibbling like two little mice.
"I was very busy those days and didn't have time."
"So you already knew that it was me next door."
"Guess, didn't we go together on the day we got the hotel room number?" Ye Yichen smiled secretly and thought he was not seen.
"Ah!" I suddenly realized that the secret he told An Ran in the activity room of the student union that day turned out to be this. This old fox had already arranged for An Ran to walk him through the back door and deliberately divided the room number to me.
"Do you know?"
"Ye Yichen, you are really a thief! In the future, we will have to guard against you more closely." I can't help admiring the terrible meticulous thought.
"Why do you prevent me? I don't live in the same room with you. Even if you really live together, you are still afraid that I will do something bad to you."
With that, he leaned over with a bad smile on his face. I hit him while hiding. When I played all the way to the door of the hotel, I only heard a 'when' sound, as if something had fallen down.
I haven't calmed down from the play just now and looked at him with a smile: "Come here if you have the ability. Do you think I will be afraid of you?"
But his face suddenly changed, gradually changing from a childish innocent joy to a cold and frightening expression like black iron.
"Ye Yichen, what's wrong with you?" I felt that something was wrong and hurried over to pull him into the hotel. But he opened me fiercely.
"Xia Luolin, have you seen him? Have you made up again?" Ye Yichen had a calm face and looked at me, who was suddenly thrown away by him and confused.
"What are you talking about?"
"What did I say, heh? It's back in your hands. What does this mean? Don't you know? Or do you really take pleasure in me as a fool?
Ye Yichen raised his hand, and the starfish pendant fell from my pocket and was picked up by him. The brilliance of the moonlight shines with clear light.
But his face was indifferent as if to condense everything he saw around him into ice, like being shrouded in a snowstorm, ice and goblins...
