The sudden sound made Ye Gu get down from his chair. Looking at Xi Jinzhou who was leisurely opposite, he smiled angrily.
"Okay, it's really stupid." After saying that, Ye Gu stood up and left.
Xi Jinzhou didn't stop him, he just looked at the door with a smile and muttered something.
"3,"
"2,"
He put down the cup in his hand and walked over slowly.
"1."
Luo Yang was wearing a suspender skirt and stood at the door, looking calmly at Ye Gu who wanted to escape.
Ye Gu's breathing stagnated for a moment, and he turned back to stare at Xi Jinzhou silently.
But now he couldn't leave even if he wanted to. Xi Jinzhou just turned sideways and said with a smile.
"You're all here, come in and sit down."
In the living room, Xi Jinzhou put down two glasses of water and then went to the study very consciously. Ye Gu and Luo Yang sat opposite each other. Luo Yang put the bag at hand on the sofa and raised his eyes to look at Ye Gu.
Ye Gu was thinking about it, still thinking about the awkward conversation on the phone just now.
"No connection."
Ye Gu raised his eyes with doubt in his eyes: "Huh?"
Luo Yang took a deep breath and added: "I haven't had any contact with anyone in the UK. Shen Fan was also the one I met by chance in the mall last time."
For a long time, Ye Gu didn't answer.
Is she explaining to him? Ye Gu clasped his hands and stared at the glass of clear water on the table.
"Then rent a house..."
Luo Yang understood and raised his eyebrows slightly: "I'm just helping. Doctor Xi happens to have a vacant house here. It's not easy for him to just graduate. He can also be regarded as Ms. Yang's favorite disciple."
Ye Gu curled his lips and his joints cracked softly.
"Oh."
Gee, it's still annoying. It seems that Shen Fan has an ongoing relationship with Luo Yang no matter what.
Luo Yang drank water, looking around casually, and said casually: "How square is this house?"
"One hundred and six." Ye Gu naturally took the question.
Luo Yang's eyes deepened and he nodded, as if with regret: "If he hadn't already found a house, then this would be a good choice."
Ye Gu sneered lightly, obviously still very hostile to Shen Fan. Without thinking, he said: "Did I rent the house to Shen Fan just to fulfill your wishes?"
After saying that, Ye Gu always felt that something was not right.
! ! Grass! This house now belongs to Xi Jinzhou, why do you habitually say "I"!
There was a tsunami in my heart, but my face was still calm and unchanging. I hoped that Luo Yang didn't hear clearly, so as to blur the past.
He didn't even dare to raise his head to look into her eyes. He just pretended to be calm while holding the water, his eyes wandering around to hide the panic in his heart.
After a minute, Luo Yang said nothing, and Ye Gu breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he had escaped.
He shook the water glass and said, "I'll pour some water."
As soon as he passed by Luo Yang, the sound of water glasses hitting the table was heard behind him, and Qingyue's voice had a faint ethereal quality: "Are you finally willing to admit it?"
Ye Gu was stunned, closed his eyes in despair, took a deep breath, and sat back on the sofa.
Ye Gu thought, Luo Yang didn't seem angry, but for some reason, he always felt strange, that his aura was not right.
-
"So these two apartments have always been yours, right."
-"Yes."
-"Then why do you say it belongs to Xi Jinzhou."
-"He was indeed living here at the time, so, cough."
-"Then, on the day I was locked out of the Luo family, it was you who asked Xi Jinzhou to let me stay here, right?"
The person on the other side was silent for a moment, then nodded like a dragonfly, without saying anything, silently acquiescing.
Ye Gu thought that it was over, she must be angry. Just when he was about to explain and apologize, Luo Yang suddenly stood up.
His voice trembled almost imperceptibly: "I'm going to the bathroom."
Just like this, Ye Gu looked at her back in confusion, making random guesses alone in the living room.
When Xi Jinzhou came out, he saw Ye Gu sitting alone in the living room, and Luo Yang was nowhere to be found.
"Where are the people?" Xi Jinzhou pointed to the opposite side.
Ye Gu looked towards the bathroom and shook his head.
"Did you make her angry?" Xi Jinzhou sat down next to him.
It's okay if I don't say it, but I want to beat him when I mention Ye Gu, "It's not you, now it's better, she knows that this house is mine, and she also knows that I let her live here in your name. , she must be angry that I lied to her.”
If the eyes could be materialized, Xi Jinzhou would have been killed by a thousand arrows by now.
Xi Jinzhou shrugged, "Sometimes I'm really curious as to why you were the first among us to get married."
Ye Gu said with a dark face, "I can still hear you scolding me."
Xi Jinzhou was noncommittal and nodded: "It's good that you know. I won't disturb you anymore. There's something going on at the hospital. I'll leave first. You can think about how to solve the problem."
After speaking, he patted Ye Gu on the shoulder.
///
Luo Yang in the mirror looked at himself in the mirror with unfathomable eyes.
So the poetry collection she saw that day had Ye Gu's handwriting, so was he secretly helping her?
Why? Because of being friends for so many years? Or do you just feel sorry for her?
Luo Yang's mind is so messed up now that he can't be in the same room with Ye Gu.
While she was happy, she was also very entangled, entangled with herself and the mysterious tattoo. She didn't know where to start. She wanted more and more and became more and more greedy. She had obviously warned herself when she returned to China not to Extravagant hope, excessive hope is the root of all pain.
But now, when it comes to his matters, she always seems unable to maintain a measured position, and repeatedly makes dangerous moves that cross the boundary.
A lie requires countless lies to hide. Eventually, there will be a day when she can no longer hide it.
"Luo Yang, are you okay?" Ye Gu looked at it for a long time. He was worried and knocked on the door.
Luo Yang took a deep breath and pushed the door open.
"I'm fine."
Ye Gu saw that she didn't seem to be okay. When he returned to the living room, Luo Yang took out two cufflinks from his bag and put them in Ye Gu's hands.
"You left it on the display cabinet in the cloakroom. You should need it, so I brought it over to you."
Ye Gu suddenly grabbed her wrist, which was still slender.
Luo Yang raised his eyes to look at him, and Ye Gu muttered: "You don't look like you're okay at all."
Luo Yang's eyes dimmed for a moment and then quickly disappeared.
After a long time, she said quietly: "Perhaps we should agree on a terms of getting along to avoid conflicts that are difficult to resolve like yesterday."
Luo Yang's chestnut hair naturally hangs slightly, falling on the collarbone, complementing each other.
Ye Gu looked at her without any hesitation, "Okay, everything is up to you."
The terms were not extensive and were relatively routine. Ye Gu strongly requested that the two of them spend time alone together once a week. Luo Yang couldn't resist him and had no choice but to agree. The terms ultimately stipulated that whoever violated the terms would have to meet one of the other's requirements or be fined. .
"Can I delete the "no reservations" clause?" Luo Yang considered and wanted to look at Ye Gu.
"Okay."
Everyone has a secret. If she doesn't want to tell it now, and he doesn't force her, he will wait until the day she wants to tell it.
Luo Yang was actually a little surprised. It was rare that Ye Gu didn't insist on asking for the reason, but then he thought about the tattoo, which might explain it. It was her miscalculation. After all, no one has no secrets.
///
The conflict caused by Shen Fan was over, and Luo Yang returned to his normal work routine again.
But I always feel vaguely that something is different from before.
After finally taking time out of Luo Yang's various beggings, Sang Huai stood in front of a villa he had never been to before. Sang Huai frowned in distress, looked at her and asked, "Have you bought a house?"
Luo Yang burst out laughing, but Tian Tian came out and said, "How can it be possible? This is a birthday gift from Aunt Li to Master Ye on his tenth birthday. But he has never been here before, so we are not very familiar with it."
Sang Huaiyu couldn't help but sigh: "You don't call me young master for nothing."
"But how did you get the key?" Tian Tian knew that Ye Gu was the best at asking questions, and the possibility of surprising him without telling Ye Gu was almost zero.
Luo Yang smiled: "I didn't ask him. The key is with Ma Li. I have asked Ma Li not to tell him."
Tian Tian suddenly realized that no wonder the clingy young master didn't follow him.
Although no one came to live in it, there were still people who came to clean it regularly, so the house was still spotless. Sang Huaiyu put the cake in Luo Yang's hand into the refrigerator.
"Ahe, don't you really feel tired?" Luo Yang turned around and looked at Sang Huaiyu who was standing in the kitchen staring at him, his eyes moved.
She smiled lightly, as if jokingly, "I'm tired, there are quite a lot of balloons."
Sang Huaiyu sighed, "You know that's not what I'm talking about."
Luo Yang was silent, only concentrating on playing with the balloon in his hand. Tian Tian, who always spoke directly, looked at Sang Huaiyu and shook his head.
The three of them tacitly refrained from mentioning Luo Yang's concerns.
Luo Yang thought of something and suddenly asked: "Ye Gu has a tattoo on his body, do you know?"
Tian Tian didn't even think about it, "I know, isn't it because he has a deep scar there——"
Halfway through, Tian Tian realized what he had said and suddenly shut up, but it was already too late.
Luo Yang's eyebrows were serious, "Why are there scars?"
Tian Tian wrung his hands, hesitating whether to say anything, but Luo Yang's eyes softened him, and he finally let go.
Sighing: "Actually, it's nothing. It's just a herniated disc. Because I sit for a long time, if it's too serious, I can only choose surgery."
"Aunt Li Yan said that when he first started the company, he had meetings and worked all day and night, often spinning around. Then one day he felt paralyzed and couldn't stand up, so he was hospitalized."
"I also heard it when I went to their house for dinner before. It seems that not many people know about it. He didn't let me tell you because he felt embarrassed. If he knew that I told you, I would be dead. So Ahe, you must not Say it.”
Sitting for long periods of time... how long do you have to sit for long periods of time before it becomes that serious?
Luo Yang couldn't figure it out.
Tian Tian pouted, "I guess he got a tattoo because he was afraid that the scar would be too ugly. Anyway, I would say it's normal for men to have some scars."
What Tian Tian said later, Luo Yang didn't hear clearly at all. He just held his cell phone and was lost in thought on the sofa.
The chat between her and Ye Gu still stayed at the same place as when they had the quarrel that day.
Luo Yang: Are you busy tonight?
The response there was very fast, almost no time lag.
Ye Gu: You're not busy. What's wrong?
Luo Yang: [Position] Can you come here at seven o'clock in the evening?
Ye Gu looked at it. Isn't this the same villa where two people used to fry the kitchen when they were children? The corner of his lips curled up slightly and he replied: Okay, wait for me.
On the other side, Liu Min called several times: "Mr. Ye, Mr. Ye, do you think there is anything that needs to be improved in this plan?"
There was no response, only Ye Gu lowered his head and didn't know what he was doing.
There was silence in the conference room, and all eyes were focused on Ye Gu.
Liu Min swallowed awkwardly, "Mr. Ye, Mr. Ye?"
Only then did Ye Gu come back to his senses. When he raised his head, his eyes were still gentle. The people in the conference room were so frightened that they didn't dare to speak.
After a while, he just snapped his fingers and said, "Passed, let's do it."
Turning to look at Liu Min, "Call Uncle Liu over, take the ring I took the photo last time and go home."
Ye Gu stood up from his chair and walked out of the conference room without looking back, leaving behind a group of people looking at each other.
Liu Min has become accustomed to it and said very skillfully: "Let's dismiss the meeting and just do what Mr. Ye asked just now. Mr. Ye has to go back to see his wife now, so there is no need to work overtime."
Everyone: "..."
The problem is not big, the basic operation is understandable.
///
Ye Gu returned home, changed his clothes, and started to go to the designated place.
In the car——
Uncle Liu saw Ye Gu's clothes in the rearview mirror and laughed generously.
"Young master, you look so youthful! It feels a bit like when I sent you to school before."
A white sweatshirt and black casual pants were Ye Gu's usual outfits when he was a student. Uncle Liu was more familiar with picking him up and dropping him off every day.
Ye Gu chuckled, "I haven't dressed like this for a long time."
Nowadays, in addition to suits and ties, he is also required to wear shirts and trousers, which is what he is required to wear in almost all occasions.
Uncle Liu smiled meaningfully: "My young lady will definitely like it, but young master, do you still remember what day it is today?"
Ye Gu thought for a moment, "What day? Ahe's birthday is not in June either."
Uncle Liu didn't say anything, just shook his head, "It's nothing, it's just that the weather is very nice today, suitable for gathering with friends."
At the red light, Ye Gu opened the velvet black box, and the perfectly cut yellow diamond inside appeared in his eyes.
He gently rubbed the edge of the box with his fingertips and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
///
"It's true, so he really wasn't scratched by a cat?"
"Then you really gave him the rabies vaccine?" Bian Yao was excited after hearing the gossip.
Xi Jinzhou pushed his face away and tsked: "What do you think? It's just a show. The young master said that Luo Yang can't know."
Li Huai didn't understand, "No, then just say it was her who scratched me. Why do I have to say it was scratched by a cat? I have to go to the hospital every time."
Mo Chen rarely spoke, and his words were sharp: "I don't blame you for being single. Doctor Xi has already said it. Luo Yang is worried. He goes with me every time. Tell me why."
Li Huai suddenly understood and resigned: "Okay, he's still cool."
The room was chatting happily, and no one noticed the figure who quickly disappeared outside the door.
When Ye Gu arrived, it was still two minutes before seven o'clock. When he got off the car, he saw no one, and even the lights were not on.
He stared for a moment and got out of the car.
He pushed open the door at the front yard fence and called Luo Yang's name as he walked, but no one responded.
When Kankan reached the door and was about to push it in, several people suddenly appeared and stopped him.
"Hi Master, long time no see, I miss you so much!"
Ye Gu glanced at Tian Tian with disgust, "But I don't want you, so let me in."
Although Bian Yao and Tian Tian can't deal with each other, they are now a united front, and their purpose is to hold Ye Gu back.
"Master, just wait a moment. Let's chat for a while. Don't be impatient."
Ye Gu pushed away his hand on his shoulder and dusted his shoulder, "Don't come here, where did you hide her?"
Bian Yao waved his hand, "How dare we? Master, just wait a little longer."
Ye Gu was on the verge of breaking in when suddenly the lights in the yard lit up in an instant. Under the dark night, the stars were twinkling, colorful and dazzling.
Ye Gucuo was stunned and couldn't react in time.
A soft and clear voice came from the room, singing happy birthday.
Ye Gu just watched Luo Yang holding a cake that was not too big, with most of the residents of the Hundred Acre Forest on it.
In the candlelight, her face seemed to be covered in soft light, and the mole on the tip of her nose was heart-wrenching. When her thin lips moved, Ye Gu was in a trance.
I hadn't noticed before that Luo Yang's lip shape was particularly beautiful.
Her moist eyes blinked slightly, and her eyelashes fluttered like butterflies flying up. She smiled brightly and said to him: "Agu, happy birthday!"
