"I said, I don't like you."
"Don't like what you did to me."
"I don't like being with you."
Zhuli's tone was calmer than ever before, and a flash of pain briefly flashed in his eyes.
Jing Huaizhi's eyebrows turned cold and he turned away indifferently.
"anything else?"
She looked up at him, her eyes wandering.
"You just like my face, right?"
"You're so kind to me just because I look like Mom Youyou, right?"
Zhuli looked at his profile sadly, hoping to hear him say no.
There was a coldness in his eyes and he didn't answer.
He fished out the cigarette case from his pocket, took out one, bit his thin lips and lit it.
She closed her eyes, feeling that she was really crazy.
He actually asked these questions that he already knew the answers to.
The atmosphere froze for a moment, and Zhuli curled her fingers hanging by her side.
Changed the question: "Or you can answer me, where did you go on New Year's Day?"
The bitterness spread from his chest to his mouth, and his confused eyes stared at him.
Outside the window, the dim lights gradually went out, but she never waited for an answer from him.
Jing Huaizhi changed his sitting position and flicked the ashes from his cigarette.
"Why do you suddenly think of asking this?"
"What did Youyou say?"
Zhuli looked away expectantly, her hair sliding down from her ears to cover her already pale face.
He raised his hand to tuck it behind her ear, but she cleverly dodged it.
"I'm going to rest."
She stood up from the sofa, put on her cotton slippers and entered the bedroom.
Behind him, a strong sense of annoyance crept up the man's brow.
He pulled away and turned off all the lights in the living room before leaving.
dream
Blurred lights flickered in the dancing crowd. Jing Huaizhi sat on the booth, holding a wine glass with one hand and spinning it around.
At this moment, he completely blocked all emotions.
"Why did you call me here so late?"
Du Jianzhou let out a long yawn and sat opposite him.
"It's not like you to go to bed so early."
he quipped.
Du Jianzhou looked bitter and resentful, and sighed deeply.
"She's not Zhuli's cousin. Ever since she promised to help her, she's sent me messages every day. It doesn't matter if she refuses or doesn't refuse."
"Hey, I'm almost bored to death."
"Let me go to Liuguan Village to find her tomorrow."
He said such a series of words, Jing Huaizhi only noticed the three words Liuguan Village.
"Where to do what?"
He picked up the glass and took a sip.
Speaking of this, Du Jianzhou felt even more miserable: "That aunt is running around like she has scuds."
"She also asked me to follow her. Who can do nothing like her all day long..."
Jing Huaizhi placed the wine glass heavily on the table and raised his eyes slightly.
Only then did Du Jianzhou react and cleared his throat: "You say it, you say it."
He raised his eyelashes to look at him leisurely.
-
There was no light on in the bedroom, Zhuli leaned on the bed with a bitter smile on her lips.
She really doesn't know how high the sky is and thinks she can replace Youyou's mother's position in his heart after getting along with him for a long time?
"Zhuli, please correct your position."
Jingle Bell
The cell phone on the bedside table rang, and she reached for it and picked it up.
"Lizi, I have a little tidbit, do you want to hear it?"
Ren Xingyan smiled slightly, tangled his hair and said with a flattering smile.
"Um."
As soon as he spoke, Zhuli realized that his voice was a little hoarse.
Ren Xingyan, who was on the other end of the phone, found a stone bench and sat down, and said softly: "Mama Xiao said that on the day my uncle passed away, she saw Li Dong from the West House appearing in your backyard."
"He was never seen again."
Li Dong?
Zhuli rolled his eyes, a sly look flashed across his eyes.
"Isn't he born with a brain defect?"
"Why is it missing?"
She took the phone away from her ear and tapped the quilt with her fingertips.
"I don't know this either, but I went to his house and it was deserted for a long time."
"It should have been empty for a long time. Logically speaking, he doesn't have family members and is physically handicapped, so he shouldn't be able to go far, right?"
Ren Xingyan was also confused, and the clue seemed to have been interrupted.
Zhuli looked at the dots of light by the window and stretched out her hand to gather them all into her palm.
"I'll take the time to go back during my next vacation, so I won't bother you. Come back as soon as possible."
The lazy voice reached Ren Xingyan's cochlea from the other end of the phone.
She laughed out loud: "Cousin, are you okay?"
"You actually told me you were in trouble?"
"I think you are acting like a bitch again."
Zhuli lowered the corners of her lips, her expression still indifferent: "Yes, yes, then come back quickly and beat me up!"
-
"You mean she started asking about Youyou's mother?"
Du Jianzhou couldn't hide his astonished expression and leaned forward suddenly.
Jing Huaizhi rolled up his shirt cuffs and played with his lighter.
"Did someone say something to her?"
"After all, haven't you two always gotten along well before?"
He tilted his head slightly arrogantly, resting his face on one hand.
Jing Huaizhi said nothing, lit a cigarette and handed one to the person sitting opposite.
"I don't think it's time yet and I don't want to involve her."
Du Jianzhou raised his hand to take it and pinched it with his fingertips.
"Are you afraid that Miss Mu will hurt her when she comes back?"
After pausing for a few seconds, he continued with a complicated expression: "Then you should tell her everything. You two need to face it together."
Ding-
The phone on the booth flashed.
let's break up.
Du Jianzhou only glanced at it and immediately turned away, pretending not to see anything.
"I want to hide her better."
Jing Huaizhi's deep voice did not fluctuate at all, and he reached out to delete the message.
working day
Qisi Group has welcomed a new employee, and everyone knows that she has a good background.
"Good morning, Yuhe."
"morning."
...
Everyone said hello to Jing Yuhe.
Operations
Jing Yuhe stood outside the door, leaned forward and shouted softly: "Pear, pear."
Zhuli raised his eyes slightly, his expression blank.
He walked up to her with long strides, and his tone was a little surprised.
"Yuhe, when did you come back?"
Jing Yuhe winked and twitched his fingers at her, pretending to be mysterious.
"I graduated early! I'll be your colleague when I come back."
"Oh, okay! Come with me to find my brother first."
Zhuli's pupils suddenly shrank, he forced a smile and shook his head.
Jing Yuhe didn't care if she wanted it or not, he took her hand and headed to the president's office.
While taking the elevator, Zhuli counted silently in her mind how many days she had not seen him.
No matter what, sooner or later we have to say goodbye.
The relationship between them seemed to have stopped long ago with that breakup text message.
CEO's office
Jing Yuhe knocked politely and then pressed the doorknob.
"elder brother!"
"surprise!"
Jing Huaizhi's eyes dimmed behind his lenses, and he gave her a stern look.
Seeing that he was bored, Jing Yuhe pulled Zhuli who was standing outside the door and introduced: "Brother, this is my college roommate and also my best friend."
"Do you think it would be nice if there is a suitable person to introduce her to?"
