Chapter 57: The broken line between you and me
In the rainy season, the haze is humid.
Ye Yichen sat in Madeleine's coffee stand with a cynical look.
I admit that he can play the role of a live advertisement. In such gloomy weather, a sunny and handsome man with a trace of evil charm can attract the attention of many girls.
Even if I want to see him for a while, I will come to the store and order something casually. Not to eat and rest, but to nourish the eyes by sheltering from the rain.
"Are you angry about what happened that day?"
In the afternoon break, Ye Yichen came to the kitchen to find me.
"No, there's nothing to be angry about. But I hope that kind of thing won't happen again. I gave an understated answer.
"I can't guarantee that." Ye Yichen didn't seem to listen to what I said at all.
"The reason why I am indifferent to what you have done is that I want you to know how boring and ridiculous it is. If time can go back to the past, maybe you will get what you want, but now, it's impossible.
My answer is very resolute,
"However, I also want to tell you in my way that what you are saying to me now may be overturned."
Ye Yichen left the kitchen.
Every time he talks with me, there seems to be something hidden, some words, like a string of hidden passwords, which is difficult to figure out.
"A Lei, if you tell me that the transfer partner this time is Xia Luolin, I won't come with you if you kill me."
Liu Ziyang is walking around the hotel room angrily at this moment.
"Do you think that's true?" Situ Lei asked with his mobile phone Shanghai star pendant.
"Is it true? Don't you think it's hurt enough!"
Liu Ziyang's voice continues to grow at a rate of almost 50 decibels per minute.
"If you have nothing to do, just go back. I'll stay for a few days."
Situ Lei's eyes never left the starfish pendant.
When he is alone and meditating, he always likes to gently touch this starfish pendant. It seems that his soul has already been deeply engraved in it.
"Why are you staying here as a light bulb for others? Just go back with me." Liu Ziyang said impatiently.
"Sometimes, I think everything that happened before is just a dream. When I open my eyes again, time can go back to 9 years ago.
Situ Lei closed his eyes and his voice was warm and pure.
Madeleine has been closed for a month. In order to familiarize the new managers quickly, I followed almost all day.
"Aren't you tired?" Ye Yichen sat on the chair beside him and yawned lazily.
"When you are full, you will become a cow when you sit still!" I glanced sideways at the lazy Ye Yichen.
"If you say so, you have probably become a cow long ago. Will I call you Xia Niu Niu in the future? Ye Yichen said with a disapproving face.
"You can be lazy!!" I suddenly raised my volume and shouted at him loudly, and then hummed into the kitchen.
The blue sky, thin clouds, the midday sun makes people dizzy, and there is a sticky feeling in the air, sultry and windless.
There is an endless stream of delivery cars coming and going on the road. In addition to arranging people to carry things down, I also need to watch them assemble them where I need them. Don't rest for a moment.
Although Ye Yichen came here occasionally, he didn't help. He was just a mix.
"Go and have a rest. I'll come here."
Situ Lei's indifferent voice came from behind me.
and handed me a bottle of water.
"Thank you. Anyway, the school's affairs are almost the same as my personal problems. If you have nothing to do, just go back."
I took the water and replied faintly.
Since I decided to study in Minghui, he has been staying in Hangzhou, saying that he would wait for me to deal with the affairs here and go back to Beijing together. Because the contract clearly states that the student union should ensure the personal safety of students leaving school outside the holiday.
This feeling of being with him on weekdays seems to have returned to the days when Minghan was at that time. But the only difference is that in addition to the necessary dialogue in the transfer procedures, we still maintain the same boundaries as strangers.
Even if you meet in the store or outside, it's just passing by. Don't say anything.
No one will change with the passage of time unless he has not grown up.
And so do I.
"Madeleine has almost been renovated, and you don't have much luggage to pack. I booked a restaurant. Let's go to dinner in the evening."
Ye Yichen sat in the coffee seat with me for a lunch break.
"No need."
"Do you want to refuse such a small request, or do you still only accept his kindness to you?" Ye Yichen said, staring straight behind me.
I turned around and followed his eyes. Situ Lei was sitting there staring at us.
"Can you not compare everything with him?" I turned around in a hurry and didn't want to look at him.
"Yes, then you can try to accept my kindness from now on."
Ye Yichen showed a smile purer than dew and looked at me intently. His slender eyelashes flickered, like a child who had done a good deed and was waiting to get a candy reward.
"Can you stop staring at me like this? It's shameful to be cute, you know?" I turned my head aside and didn't look at him.
"That's the capital that I still have to act cute." Ye Yichen argued.
"It's shameless."
The two of us laughed and played in the cafe.
And all this was also seen by Situ Lei sitting in the distance.
Ye Yichen also looked at him, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, showing a cunning smile.
The night in Hangzhou is still sultry.
The body is often in a feeling of being pulled out of the water, wet.
Occasionally, a glimmer of evening wind blows, like a sweet spring pouring into the dry land. It feels refreshing and comfortable from the inside to the outside.
"Hello, how many people may I ask?"
I came to the restaurant I had an appointment with Ye Yichen.
"Two, my friend has booked a seat."
I quickly came to Ye Yichen's pre-booked seat. I don't know if I remembered the wrong time. I sat here for 20 minutes and didn't see Ye Yichen.
Is there anyone who has been late for so long?
With the passage of time, I have nothing to do but keep biting ice and water.
"Would you like another drink?" The waiter came to collect the cup.
"Hmm." My answer was a little awkward.
"Wra..."
Suddenly, there was a sound of the cup being knocked down.
Because I have been waiting for too long, I have been drowsy. My hand-supported head was scared by the sudden attack and lost its center of gravity and fell down.
At the same time, a strong arm suddenly appeared and held the ring tightly in front of the chest.
It feels like falling into a familiar black hole.
It seems that something familiar happened not long ago. I am familiar with my shoulders and the unique smell on his body.
That is not the smell of perfume, but a milder temperature closer to nature.
It's like leaves absorbing a lot of sunlight, warm and fresh.
"I'm sorry, I came to collect the cup and accidentally knocked it down..." The waiter apologized repeatedly.
And I also woke up from the confused fantasy just now and hurriedly pulled out of other people's arms.
"It's okay. Pay attention next time." A man's indifferent voice came out.
There is strong dissatisfaction in the tone.
The familiar voice, the clear memory that just woke up in my arms.
I looked up and appeared in front of me as if it had already been portrayed in my heart.
Situ Lei.
"Why are you here?" The obstruction just now made me a little overwhelmed for a moment.
"What are you doing sitting here all the time?" Situ Lei sat down and asked rhetorical.
"I'm waiting..." When the words came to my mouth, I seemed to remember something and was forced back by me.
"Wait? Ye Yichen?"
He was so smart that he quickly guessed what I hadn't finished just said.
I didn't say anything, and my eyes floated around.
"It seems that he stood you up today, but you really care about him and waited alone in the restaurant for him for 3 hours." Situ Lei said with a sneer.
At this time, I found that it was 12:30 late at night.
"No, it's not..." I suddenly didn't know what to say.
Should I explain?
But why should I explain to him? It should be my freedom to wait for someone. Instead, it's him. Why did he know how long I've been waiting here? Has he been watching me here?
"Why do you know I've been here for 3 hours?" I asked him back.
"I'm eating here." With that, he pointed to the table not far away.
And Liu Ziyang is staring at us at this moment.
It's not far away, but I didn't see them when I came, indicating that they didn't come in after me. I couldn't help laughing at my self-indued affection just now.
If you calculate it seriously, I have been waiting here for more than 3 hours.
Ye Yichen, this bastard, don't let me see you.
I kept scolding in my heart.
"Ziyang, you go first. I'll take her home." With that, Situ Lei pushed me to the door of the restaurant.
"I can go back by myself." I refused.
"A Lei, I'll send it." Liu Ziyang got up and came over.
"Xia Luolin, even if we don't like each other, I will be responsible for your safety. It's so late. It's impossible for anyone to let you go home alone. Do you understand?" What Situ Lei said was very plain and true.
Anyway, no matter who it is tonight, they can't let me go alone. Just let them go.
In the end, Liu Ziyang was sent back to the hotel, and because the car was driven away by Liu Ziyang, Situ Lei had to push me all the way to Madeleine.
For good, it's not very far away. But we were speechless all the way, and this short ten minutes seemed even more endlessly long for me.
"Do you feel annoyed? You are so close to me." Situ Lei suddenly opened his mouth.
I was silent and did not answer.
"It seems that you are very happy to be with him during the day. Would it be really so speechless to be with me? I have never found a reason to convince myself. Why would I be so disgusted by you so much?
Situ Lei said, and his pace slowed down. These words, like stones that had been pressing on him, were heavy and unable to move.
"Do you still need me to count what you have done one by one? You took everything from me, but now you brazenly ask me why I hate you so much?"
His words made me out of control.
I said this almost without thinking about it and broke free from his hand pushing the wheelchair.
Because I was eager to leave him, I pressed the forward button too hard, and suddenly broke away so that the wheelchair was out of control and rushed straight to the road.
Why are there so many fragments of memory in the brain, so scattered? And how much a person's body can hold to be saturated.
If I have a choice, I really want those painful memories to stay away from me...
Just like my gently flying body at this moment.
