Chapter 56: The Weaving of Fate
"Don't you go to school?" As I spoke, I put the pie in the oven.
"Well, I'm waiting for you to come back. I've pretended to be a bad senior this year. It should be a matter of certainty." Ye Yichen leaned against the wall and looked at me busy beside him.
"Duld I say I would continue reading?" I answered carelessly.
School, this place that brings me a good start and a cruel ending, I'm afraid that I'm doomed to retreat after returning there.
A comfortable life is good, but once you get used to and live a stable life, once there is chaos around you, or the original law of life is broken, people will become uneasy and at a loss. So as to make the wrong decision in panic. Just like the old me.
Ye Yichen's words moved me a little, but I hesitated to take this step, step by step.
However, only by constantly moving forward will you not lose what you have. When you are tired, looking at the scenery you have walked behind you may have nostalgia, but abandonment and loss are completely different. The former is the burden you lose, while the latter is that you are abandoned.
Don't hesitate to do what you want to do. Madeleine has been doing well without you in the past year. Or don't you believe that I have the ability to find a school for you?
I looked at his face, and there was an enchanting fog hidden in his beautiful face, which was confusing.
"Is my face really that attractive to you?" Ye Yichen suddenly turned his head and looked at me.
"None." I turned around and stared at the spinning pie in the oven.
"I promise to find a satisfactory school for you, but you can't hesitate or refuse after I get everything done. How about it?" Ye Yichen said it casually.
"Why do you want to make trouble for yourself so happily? You should not get any benefits for me."
Ye Yichen can't get up early without profit. Everything he does must involve a larger chain of interests behind him. I doubt his statement.
"Yes, I really can't get any benefits. You need to promise me the only condition."
"What?"
"If I really find a quiet school as you wish, let you graduate safely and realize your vague dream, you must agree to be my woman."
My body seemed to freeze at the moment of his words, because with my back to him, I couldn't see his expression and said these words. I just vaguely felt that something strange was moving in my heart.
"You don't have to answer so quickly, and it's not certain whether I can do it or not, so you don't have to panic. Think about it and tell me." After saying that, he left the kitchen.
I looked at his receding back, as if after he said that to me that night, he had returned to his original appearance, as if nothing had happened. That night was a dream created by me alone in the light.
I also gradually forgot that night. Under the dim yellow street lamp, he pinched my chin like a doll, and then smiled and kissed my lips.
"Knock..." A short knock on the door.
"A Lei, the information of this year's transfer students has been transmitted."
Liu Ziyang bit a bag of unopened yogurt and muttered.
"Bear me the information." Situ Lei is so indifferent at all times.
In the early morning, the distant sky was slightly dark.
The sun seemed to be powerless to pierce the darkness in front of it, faintly flashing faintly. Like a dim and dilapidated lamp.
Situ Lei stood in front of the huge and transparent floor-to-ceiling window in the student union room and looked at the scene of the city sleeping in the dark night in front of him. The lights and the passing headlights on the road stung his pupils. His eyes were covered with dark red blood.
clenched hands, cold eyes. There are also materials scattered on the table.
[Information of transfer students in 2013]
[Xia Luolin, studied in the Haiyuan Department of Minghan High School for half a year, and the Flower Dance Department for half a year. After being expelled from the second year of high school for personal reasons, he returned from abroad for further study and decided to return to Minghui Private University affiliated to Minghan to continue his studies.]
[Ye Yichen, a graduate of the flower dance department of Minghan High School, applied for transfer to Minghui Private University]
The morning sun finally pierced the thickest cloud above the sky, and the sun tilted to this cold city. But Situ Lei's eyes became colder than before.
He is lonely, like a cold and unattainable king standing among the thorns of an ice cone.
"I'm going to meet with the student president of Minghui University in the afternoon. Please dress up." Ye Yichen called me early in the morning.
"Where is it? What time is it?"
In just a few months, Ye Yichen successfully sent me to a private university called Minghui, and Madeleine was also operating in an orderly manner.
Even if I didn't give Ye Yichen any answer after that day.
"I'll make some desserts at Madeleine's store, and I'll send you clothes later."
The wind is whirling at the other end of the phone.
And without giving him any reply, if I really decide to finish my studies after meeting Minghui's president, will I fulfill his ridiculous request?
"I have clothes, so you don't have to send them to me anymore."
I refuse him. After all, the two sides just meet for dinner and talk about Madeleine's future development plans. There is no need to dress up deliberately. And at first, I didn't plan to meet anyone. I just wanted to do well behind the scenes.
"You must listen to me this time. Minghui's school is very large. If you study smoothly, do you still feel that you can stay away from various activities in the school and not attend various public places in the future?"
What Ye Yichen said is very tough, and there is also a reason that I can't refute it.
"Well, I will do what should be done, but you really don't need to send the clothes. I'll do it myself." After saying that, I hung up the phone and prepared to go to the store.
Because the matter came suddenly and it was a weekend with high passenger flow, I temporarily informed the employees to take a day off, and the store was also closed today, only receiving people from the school in the afternoon.
"Are you ready?" Ye Yichen pushed the door and entered.
"Well, it will take some time." I looked at Kaiserschmarren, who was still in the oven, and said.
"I'm not talking about dessert. Look at you, why are you still wearing a chef's uniform? Hurry back and change your clothes with me." After saying that, he couldn't help pushing me away from the kitchen and asked an assistant with him to look at the desserts in the oven.
He really brought me clothes, a sky blue high-waisted off-the-shoulder dress.
"I don't wear this kind of skirt" I threw the clothes he brought aside.
How can the scars on my leg allow me to wear such clothes?
I lowered my head. No joy, no sadness.
"Believe me and change it. You will be the most beautiful woman around me. Let go of yourself and don't be deprived of too much happiness by those indelible scars.
He came over, gently wrapped around me from behind, and whispered in his ear.
But in the end, I still couldn't defeat the inferiority in my heart. Ye Yichen had no choice but to compromise and said that this was his last bottom line. Anyway, I have to wear a skirt today.
" Luolin, you are really beautiful."
I appeared in front of him in a high-waisted chiffon white gauze skirt.
The long black hair falls on the waist, and the hair that has never been taken care of is not so straight, but slightly curly. But it looks natural and soft.
"Do you know why I have to dress you so beautifully today?" I sat in the store with Ye Yichen, waiting for the arrival of the investor.
"Because you said I couldn't hide in the kitchen all the time." I answered him according to what he said before.
"That's just one of the smallest reasons. The real reason is that Minghui is actually an affiliated university of Minghan, and their student president is called Situ Lei.
Ye Yichen smiled, clear and transparent, without hostility.
But I know that there are countless sharp blades hidden in his smile. Every knife will stab where it should be. It will not be fatal, but it will hurt the heart and spleen.
"What do you mean?" I looked at him.
"Nothing, but Situ Lei will come soon. I want him to see the most beautiful you."
I understand that in the past two years, he can't forget An Run, let alone let go of that once persistent feeling. On the contrary, he began to hate Situ Lei, who could make Anan fall in love so much that he couldn't help himself.
The dream that night was so real that I clearly remember what he said that night, whether it was for me to be with him or to help me finish my studies. He has only one purpose this time.
That is revenge on Situ Lei.
But his behavior makes me feel naive and ridiculous.
Because I had nothing to do with Situ Lei two years ago.
"You can't get anything by doing this. Situ Lei has no feeling for me for a long time. If there must be something, it's hatred."
I looked at him and said plainly.
"Do you really think so?" Ye Yichen was not moved by my words, but asked me.
"What do you think I should do?"
"That's it."
As soon as the words fell, he suddenly turned around and hugged me tightly.
After that, I saw Situ Lei, Liu Ziyang, and another entourage, who froze in front of the store and looked at us.
"As written in the previous transfer application, Minghui is a private university that prioritizes the interests of students. As long as you want to enter, Minghui's door will always be open for students."
The vice president spoke the official voice of the school.
However, the student union is Minghui's largest management system, because the superior school directors are very busy. It is personal freedom to participate in the club, but you must participate in school activities as students, and there is no major reason not to refuse.
The accompanying vice president spoke seriously with the form. Liu Ziyang was playing with his mobile phone and didn't look at me from beginning to end.
"There are also a few other small items, such as what activities the school will hold every quarter, various expenses, and your accommodation application. Miss Xia, take a look. If you have no objection, please sign here.
The vice president breathed a sigh of relief, as if he handed me the application form for admission.
Situ Lei never said a word during the whole process.
And Ye Yichen is the same.
"Wait a minute." Situ Lei suddenly opened his mouth to stop me from signing.
"Is there anything else?"
Before I could speak, Ye Yichen asked first.
"You two will not be divided into the same class. Please don't take advantage of this. Situ Lei looked at him with an indifferent expression.
"It doesn't matter to me whether we are in the same class or not. We were not in the same department in Minghan, but now..." Ye Yichen deliberately didn't finish his words and announced his pride with a smile.
Time seems to weave a huge net intentionally or unintentionally. The world in the net is spacious and free, which gives us too much space to grow, and we have also experienced one mistake after another and pain in this long time, thus changing, maturing and becoming more hypocritical.
When we are young, we fall down. As long as we pat the dust on our bodies, we can easily stand up and move on. Now, once the body falls down, it will be a bottomless pit to welcome you.
We kept wandering in this big net, trying to find a way out, but every time we transferred to the starting point in a circular way.
Like the three of us, one year of escape, two years of separation. I thought that love and hatred had already left us, and we were doomed to never meet again.
But too much persistence makes me unable to get rid of this quietly rotating circle.
