Hearing the "bang" of the door closing, Jiayi sat on the bed weakly. The quilt was still a little warm, and she stroked it with her hands, like a purring cat.

She doesn't like the way she is now, and she still has a lot of business to do, but she just doesn't want to move, just like when she was a student, knowing that the exam will be tomorrow, but today she has to read a novel, there is a kind of extravagant and indulgent happiness .

Jiayi didn't go to work until after ten o'clock, and was very busy when she got to work.

After twelve o'clock, I had some free time, and I was already so hungry that my chest was sticking to my back.

Woke up too late and didn't have breakfast.

Just about to ask the new assistant to help order a takeaway, the phone rang again, and when I picked it up, it was a gentle female voice: "Miss Lu, hello, this is the secretary office of the president of Yi, Mr. Yi wants to talk to you .”

Yi Zecheng's voice came from the receiver: "Jiayi, do you have an appointment at noon?"

"No."

"Then you invite me to lunch."

The tone of the full boss.

have to.

Jiayi couldn't help but chuckle, he's used to being domineering like this, obviously he asked her for dinner, but he just wanted her to ask him out.

"What are you laughing at?" He was dissatisfied, "Other people have to make an appointment with the secretary's office four weeks in advance, and they may not be able to make an appointment."

She resigned to her fate: "Okay, Mr. Yi, Ms. Lu wants to invite you for lunch today."

So, they went to eat seafood at the western restaurant that the two of them frequented most.

They seldom meet at noon, and under the bright sun, both of them are in a much better mood.

He was looking for her on something, she knew it.

Otherwise, he would never have come to see her at noon instead of going to accompany his female lawyer.

"What happened to you this morning?"

Yi Zecheng asked casually while elegantly and skillfully cutting the high-grade steak on the plate.

The sunlight coming in through the glass window seemed to be transparent, and the white wine in the goblet was crystal clear, and her mood also brightened: "I said it's okay, when did you get up like a mother-in-law?"

Yi Zecheng couldn't help snorting, and said, "The dog bit Lu Dongbin!"

He is always busy at noon, so he must have turned down his appointment to see her today.

Thinking about it this way, her heart fermented softly, like pudding in a small dish, trembling slightly.

Jiayi asked: "Who were you going to have lunch with?"

He asked vigilantly, "Why are you asking this?"

She smiled: "I want to compare my weight in your heart."

Yi Zecheng couldn't help laughing, showing his fine white teeth: "Aren't you happy when I say I'm the mayor?"

Jiayi raised her head and smiled: "Why don't you say it's the President of the United States? Then I'll be happier."

After talking about jokes, the two of them relaxed again. The sun was so good, the cars and pedestrians outside were in a hurry, and they went their separate ways under the sun. She likes to watch such lively and irrelevant things.

The coffee came up, hot and fragrant, she took a sip, it was so hot that it scalded the tip of her tongue.

"Is there anything to do tonight?" He said, taking a sip of his coffee, and frowned. He thought it was hot, so he put it down and looked at her, "Why don't you say anything, it's so hot."

She turned her face away to smile, and he said, "I really don't understand you. I shed tears for no reason in the morning and laughed all the time at noon. I don't know what I'm happy about."

She still laughed, and finally he laughed too: "Hey, do you have an appointment tonight, and if not, accompany me for dinner."

Jiayi frowned on purpose: "Let's eat together at noon, and also at night?"

He was about to pull the corner of her mouth, but she turned her face away.

Being so close, I could see his impeccable face, without a single stubble, only the faint aroma of tobacco and shaving water.

He murmured as if talking to himself: "They told me a long time ago that a woman must never be petted, once she is petted, she will be proud of it."

Jiayi's heart was bursting with many small bubbles like soda, some sour and some sweet, they popped up and swelled up in her chest, feeling an indescribable feeling.

She turned her face away and looked at the street again. The sun like broken gold was all over the place, and the street was bustling with people. As the ancients said, "cars are like running water and horses are like dragons", it is irrelevant and lively, but it makes me happy to look at it.

Sunday is the birthday of her half-brother Lu Shenghua.

This brother is ten years younger than her and has just turned eighteen this year.

The stepmother originally wanted to call to ask her to go home for her birthday, but she was afraid that going would make her unhappy, so she asked Lu Shenghua to invite her to the studio in person. She thought that her brother would invite her in person, and she would never ignore him. Save face.

This year, Lu Shenghua looks fair and handsome, and Jiayi sometimes thinks, if she was ten or eight years younger, she would probably like such a fresh meat.

When Lu Shenghua came, she had just completed the design of the new product and was in a good mood.

"Sister," he said timidly.

To Lu Shenghua, this elder sister was a little strange, so every time he saw her, for some reason, he couldn't help being afraid of her.

"You are here, sit down."

"Sister, it's my birthday tomorrow, so my parents want you to go home for dinner. Our family hasn't eaten together for a long time."

Lu Shenghua had never seen her in the office, and today was the first time.

Although they don't have many opportunities to meet, more often, he knows what his sister is doing through the news.And in the news photos, she was always by the man named Yi Zecheng by her side, which further widened the distance between their siblings.

So, when we met today, he felt even more strange.

She was wearing a black suit, her hair was pulled up neatly, and she looked like a strong woman, which made him afraid to look directly at her.

"I see, I will go back," she paused, then raised her head to look at Shenghua in front of her, "You will go to college next year, right?"

Shenghua nodded obediently, "Yes, I will go to college next year."

"Are you tired from studying recently?"

"It's okay." After a moment of silence, Sheng Hua stood up from the chair, "Sister, then I'll go back first."

Looking at Shenghua's back, Jiayi suddenly felt dazed.

In fact, not only he thinks, but she also feels that sometimes she is like a different person, half of which is taught by Gu Weisheng, and the other half is forced by Yi Zecheng.

She didn't know whether such a change was good or not, but the matter had reached this point, as if she had embarked on a one-way road, even if she made a mistake, she had to continue walking without looking back.

In the evening, Yi Zecheng had a social event, so she ate something casually by herself, and then went to the street to buy gifts for Shenghua.

What do boys like these days?

To be honest, she really didn't know.

After wandering around several stores aimlessly, I finally chose a mobile phone and a notebook for Shenghua.I heard that he likes playing games very much. The clerk said that young people like this notebook very much, and it can play games very quickly, so she bought it directly.

While shopping in the clothes store, she bought two sets of clothes for her father and stepmother by the way.

Of course, she also bought some for herself. When she went to the men's clothing store, she saw a tie and bought another one for Yi Zecheng.

Bags piled up in the back seat of her car, and she drove back cheerfully like a year ago or Christmas shopping.

When I got downstairs, there were too many things to hold, I hooked, carried, hugged, and clamped those paper bags, and struggled to get the keys at the door.

Before she could touch the key, the paper bag fell to the ground with a "puchichi", she was not angry, she made a face at herself, still smiled, and squatted down to pick it up.

Jiayi was bending over to pick it up, but the door opened.

She looked up and saw that Yi Zecheng was at home tonight.

She smiled and said, "Didn't you say something happened? Why did you leave so early today?"

Yi Zecheng turned and went in without saying a word.

She quickly picked up her things and went in, put those big and small bags on the low table, changed into her slippers again, and said with a smile, "I did a good job of shopping today." Seeing him still expressionless, Suddenly confused, "What's wrong with you?"

Yi Zecheng sat on the sofa, neither speaking nor moving.

Jiayi walked over and smelled the alcohol on his body, and said quickly, "Why did you drink so much?"

"Not much."

His voice was muffled and unhappy.

She had never seen him drunk before, and she didn't know what to do. She asked, "Are you uncomfortable? Shall I make you a cup of tea?" As she asked, she went to turn on the headlights.

"Shut it off!" He suddenly yelled, which startled her, and quickly turned off the light again. In the faint light of the wall lamp, both of them froze there, like two stone statues.

Finally, she turned around: "I'm going to put water for you to take a bath."

But he grabbed her hand all of a sudden: "Jiayi!" Then he pulled her into his arms, hugged her, and kissed her.

"You really drank too much." Jiayi struggled, "Let go and let me drain the water."

He refused to listen, but instead held her tighter.

She said, "Are you trying to strangle me? Let me go."

Jiayi struggled hard, but his strength was too great for her to break free.

But Yi Zecheng didn't care, and kept pushing her into the sofa, as if he wanted to squeeze her into the sofa.

Jiayi suddenly panicked: "What are you crazy about?"

Yi Zecheng didn't speak anyway, the two of them twisted into a ball, one accidentally fell off the sofa, her head hit the corner of the coffee table, the pain made her eyes go dark, she let out an "ouch", He finally let go.

Jiayi put her hand on her head and looked at him angrily, but he smiled: "It really hit me? Let me see."

She didn't know if he was really drunk or what, so she walked away and sat down far away from him.

He walked over slowly, hugged her from behind, put his hands around her neck, and put his chin on her head: "Are you stupid?"

His breath was sprayed on her ears, hot and itchy, she said: "Go take a bath, you smell of alcohol."

Yi Zecheng smiled like this, and his body trembled because of this smile.

For some reason, his laughter tonight always made Jiayi feel creepy, and she became frightened.

Slowly, he put his hands around her neck again: "I said I didn't drink much."

Her breathing became difficult: "What are you doing, are you trying to strangle me?"

He didn't speak, but let go of his hand all of a sudden, and the handsome Yi Zecheng came back again, his laughter was calm and bright again: "I seem to have drunk too much, please peel an orange for me. "

He likes to eat oranges, and he doesn't like peeled or cut open ones, they always have to be peeled.

She went to the kitchen and got a few oranges from the refrigerator and peeled them for him. The skin was too thick and had to be cut first.

When he woke up in the morning, Yi Zecheng had already gone to the company.

She got up and staggered into the bathroom to turn on the shower. The water was so hot that it caused burning pain on her skin. She shuddered a few times, as if a zombie had finally come to life due to the temperature of the water.

Thinking of Yi Zecheng's abnormality last night and how he almost strangled her, she is still a little scared.

She had never seen Yi Zecheng drink so much, or get so drunk.

To be precise, it should be that Yi Zecheng has never been drunk in front of her.

But yesterday, as if something big happened, his tense nerves were completely broken, he forgot to guard against, forgot everything, Xiu'er was in a mess.

She really couldn't figure out what happened, but she just felt a little worried.

The next afternoon, she finished her official business early and drove home. Before the car stopped under the steps, Lu Shenghua came out of the living room: "Sister, you are here, come in." Then he rushed into the house Shouted, "Dad, Mom, my sister is back."

Father Lu came out of the house, looked at her and said, "I'm back."

Looking at the table full of dishes, it seemed that the whole room was waiting for her alone.

So, she smiled apologetically: "I'm sorry, I just got off work."

At this time, the stepmother came out and said a little awkwardly, "Jiayi is back?"

She smiled, and called out calmly: "Auntie." She added, "I almost forgot about Shenghua's birthday. I've been so busy these days that I seldom come home."

Jiayi walked into the house with big and small things, and Shenghua immediately stepped forward to help her get some.

After entering the room and chatting for a few words, Jiayi explained one by one: "This is for Shenghua." She turned her head and handed the computer and mobile phone to Shenghua, and said earnestly: "You will go to college next year, and I don't know you I bought you a computer and a mobile phone for whatever you like, but you can’t play it now, it’s your critical moment, you still have to study hard, don’t be like me, who failed the college entrance examination and regretted it later.”

Lu Shenghua was a little flattered, and took it from Jiayi, "Thank you sister, sister, don't worry."

Jiayi nodded with relief, then turned her head to look at Lu's father and stepmother and said, "Dad, these are the clothes I bought for you. You always wear those clothes, and they all pilled. Auntie, this is for you."

The family happily unwrapped presents, talked and laughed, and then became lively, and everyone had a happy and beautiful reunion dinner.

This kind of beautiful atmosphere has been brought back by Jiayi.

It was late when Jiayi went back, and Yi Zecheng also went back, busy under the lamp in the study.

She poked her head at the door of the study, but he didn't see it, so she knocked on the door.

"Come in."

Listening to the voice, he felt that he was still a little absent-minded, as if he was in the office.

So, she deliberately coughed and called, "Mr. Yi."

He agreed casually, and then he realized that he raised his head and looked at her with a smile: "You're back?"

To avoid suspicion, she easily didn't enter his study room, not to mention that he was working overtime on official business, so she just stood at the door and asked, "What did you have for dinner? Are you hungry now? Do you want me to get you some supper?"

"No need. I have a lot of things to do today. You don't have to wait for me. Go to sleep first."

As he spoke, he lowered his head again. A spotlight was used on the desk, and the white light made his silhouette sharply cut, as if it were carved on the white background.

Jiayi woke up in the morning and found that there was no one around him. When she got up to look for him, she realized that he hadn't slept all night.

Going to the study room to look, the computer was still on, and there were materials scattered all over the table. He leaned in the chair and closed his eyes, not sure if he was asleep or resting his mind.

So she turned around and went to the kitchen to pour a glass of milk. As expected, he didn't fall asleep. He opened his eyes when he heard footsteps, and frowned: "Milk?"

"I know you don't like it, but there's nothing in the refrigerator. You can't drink coffee on an empty stomach."

"Children drink it."

He stretched - only halfway, then put down his hands, he is too polite, and he will not lose his composure in this situation.

He said: "I love it, drink it. I've made an appointment to play."

If you don't ask her to go with you, there must be business to discuss.

So, she nodded and took a sip of the milk.

Yi Zecheng got up to pack the documents. At this time, a phone call came suddenly. Jiayi could see it with naked eyes, and his face suddenly changed.

He leaned back in his chair, looking very depressed.

Seeing him suddenly like this, Jiayi couldn't help asking: "Are you okay? Did something happen?"

After a long silence, he slowly said, "Grandma, let's go."

Jiayi was stunned. She had known Yi Zecheng for so long, so she knew that grandma was important to him.

She really wanted to speak to comfort her, but she just opened her mouth and couldn't speak.

Yi Zecheng slowly closed his eyes.

Seeing this, Jiayi turned around knowingly and closed the door gently.

The moment the door closed, Yi Zecheng opened his eyes and sighed softly.

He knew that grandma couldn't last too long, but he didn't expect that this day would come so soon.

Everyone said that he, Yi Zecheng, was very skillful, shrewd and capable, nothing could trouble him.

But only he himself knows that there is nothing pervasive, it's just a deliberate disguise.

On the day of grandma's funeral, when Yi Zecheng walked down the stairs in a black suit, Jiayi asked, "Do I need to go with you?"

The moment Jiayi said that, she regretted it.

Grandma was very kind to her, and she was no less sad and sad than Yi Zecheng when grandma left.

If possible, she really wanted to see her off for the last time.

But, now, she is a shady existence, what identity and role should she use to meet her? Is she still the daughter-in-law of the Yi family?

Sure enough, after a moment of silence, Yi Zecheng said lightly, "No need." Then he turned and slammed the door and left.
