gentle fall

The days after returning to China were far more busy than Ji Yirou imagined.

Manager Lu Zhiyuan looks like a Maitreya Buddha with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, but he is really ruthless when he is ruthless. Before she returned to China, she received five or six notices. So she had the opportunity to take on a new IP-adapted female lead in a web drama, and she called it, to show her face in front of the audience.

These words are actually true. If you don't show up for too long, you are destined to be forgotten soon.

Before Ji Yirou had time to restrain her emotions and adjust her mentality, he took her to the crew to audition, and then quickly turned on the machine, and she entered the working state, like a small spinning top, spinning crazily by the whip of work.

Half a year later, Little Assistant Lin has not changed at all, except that she has gained a little weight and her baby-fat cheeks are a little rounder, but she is still as nagging as ever, helping Ji Yirou pack her luggage while nagging: "Miss Xiaorou , People over there speak English, isn’t it difficult to understand?”

"Oh no, you are a top student and you can do it. Are foreigners fierce?"

"Mr. Lu is really, why didn't you give you time to rest, you just stayed at home for a long time, half a day!"

Ji Yirou lay on the bed and said shh to her, she was calling home, her voice was coquettish: "Grandpa, Mom, it's not that I don't want to accompany you, I really want to work, wait I'll rest and I'll be right back."

She didn't know what was said on the other end of the phone. She covered her lips and rolled on the bed with a smile. After a long time, she hung up the phone and jumped up from the bed: "Okay, okay, Granny Lin, I Let me take you out to eat delicious food, okay?"

Lin Ling was stunned: "Who is Granny Lin... Oh Miss Xiaorou, you have become good or bad!"

Ji Yirou smiled and patted her watermelon head: "Let's go, do you want to eat roasted whole lamb?"

This time, the production team is going to shoot an exterior scene in the northwest, and they just arrived last night, and work has not started yet.The public, No. YuriAcgn bought the first game, which is a rare gap.

"Whoa! Let's go!"

Lin Ling took a driver's license test in the past six months. She is a novice on the road and her driving skills are average. Thanks to Ji Yirou who dared to sit in her car, she laughed at her: "I must be the only one who dares to ride in your car."

"It's not possible," the little girl said angrily, "although it's true—Miss Xiaorou, you've changed."

"Ok?"

"You never satirized me before, never called me a nickname, and never... laughed so wantonly."

The corner of Ji Yirou's lips curved: "Then prepare yourself to face me like this, Granny Lin."

Lin Ling snorted, and the corners of her mouth curled up.

……

During the meeting, Wen Huaiyu held a cup of coffee and stood by the window looking into the distance.

Zhou Ran came over at some point and knocked on the window: "Mr. Wen, I have a few things to report to you."

"Well. Tell me."

"Your second brother has been hiding for half a year, and the police have been investigating him for half a year. Not long ago, he finally found his check-in record in a hotel. My friends in the system greeted me and said that he should be arrested in the near future."

"I really know how to escape. I ran away like a tortoise for half a year..." Wen Huaiyu sneered, "Is there anything else?"

"Yes, Mr. Pei asked you to meet."

Wen Huaiyu was startled: "Pei Songxi? It must be bad to see this woman... When does she want to meet?"

"today."

"So anxious... Forget it, you go and arrange a time."

After all, I owed her a favor before. At that time, because of the contract compensation problem, the funds in the group were in a tight situation. It was Pei Songxi who extended the olive branch first, and borrowed a large sum of money to tide over the difficulties temporarily. It is impossible to refuse Pei Songxi's request.

"Okay, Mr. Wen, there is one more thing..."

"Go ahead."

"Miss Ji, she has returned home."

Zhou Ran opened his mouth cautiously, but the man fell into silence, with a slight wrinkle between his brows, and it took a long time before he said, "Book me a plane ticket."

"Okay Mr. Wen, the meeting is about to start, let's go in."

Wen Huaiyu hummed, and walked in mechanically, her whole mind was still on the sentence just now, Miss Ji, she has returned to China.

Ji Yirou came back, but she didn't know it.

She didn't even tell her.

Wen Huaiyu wanted to see her very much, so his first reaction was to ask Zhou Ran to book a plane ticket, but... But she was suddenly afraid of seeing her, afraid that she would bring up the divorce agreement half a year ago and the divorce procedures that had not been completed.

So in the second half of the meeting, it was difficult for her to concentrate, telling herself not to think too much, but her emotions spread silently in her heart, every cell seemed to be clamoring for missing, she couldn't even wait for a moment, She even wanted to ask Zhou Ran to cancel today's meeting with Pei Songxi.

An hour later, the meeting ended. Wen Huaiyu leaned on the chair and was lost in thought. After a while, he called Zhou Ran: "Ask Pei Songxi if you have time now. If not, we can talk later."

Zhou Ran was lowering his head to sort out the documents, sighing softly in his heart, so after so long, that Miss Ji's lethality is still so great.

He went out and called Pei Songxi's assistant to make an appointment.

Half an hour later, a corner coffee shop.

Wen Huaiyu arrived first, and was looking down at the roses in the vase on the table. He touched the water drops on the petals with his fingertips. He didn't know what he was thinking. Pei Songxi arrived a little later, and pulled out the chair Sitting down, the voice was cold: "Sorry, I'm late."

"Miss Pei, please speak up if you have something to say."

Wen Huaiyu quickly sat up straight, with a straight back, and a slight smile. She was always more defensive than trusting to Miss Pei, and never concealed her attitude.

Fortunately, Miss Pei never regarded her as a friend.

The woman's expression was indifferent, and the mountain mist hung between her slender eyebrows and eyes, showing a bit of desertedness: "I have one thing, and I want to ask Mr. Wen for help."

"Please say."

"Help me arrange and send Mianmian abroad."

Wen Huaiyu's expression froze: "Why don't you send it yourself?"

"I had a conflict with my father. I didn't want to take any chances."

She only said a simple sentence, and Wen Huaiyu understood. She had heard about the Pei family's affairs for a long time. That old man Pei Tiancheng was indeed very bad-hearted. In addition to cheating, I always suspected that the old man was playing tricks inside, but unfortunately there was no evidence, so it was not easy to do it.

She frowned and smiled brightly: "Okay. Just ask Miss Pei for a favor. One day, your father loses power. I want to have a 'heart-to-heart' talk with him. I hope you don't stop me."

Pei Songxi pursed his lips, and said yes lightly.

This person's mood is always very light, except when talking about that little girl, her expression seems to fluctuate slightly.

Both of them understand the meaning of being bored now that they have reached an agreement. Wen Huaiyu looked at the time and raised the bag: "I'll go first, see you later."

"Miss Wen," Pei Songxi called to stop her, "I helped you before because Mianmian had been arguing with me for several days, saying that her friend—that is, your wife, begged her for help."

Wen Huaiyu stood where he was, stopped in his footsteps, and suddenly turned around: "You mean..."

Pei Songxi thinks he has made it clear: "You just promised me that you promised me, otherwise I don't need to tell you, you will always be grateful for my act of giving charcoal in a timely manner. In fact, I am not that kind, I just have nothing to do with the noisy children at home. .”

The corners of Wen Huaiyu's lips twitched, with a slight smile, he turned around and walked out, faster and faster, faster and faster.

On the way to the airport, she called Zhou Minchu: "Zhou Minchu, I want to ask you something, please tell me the truth."

Zhou Minchu said, "What's the matter?"

"Before Ji Yirou... did she go to look for you?"

"...Yeah, don't you know?"

Wen Huaiyu took a deep breath, and threw the phone heavily into the carriage. She didn't know, she, a fool, didn't know anything!

The driver was taken aback by her action: "Boss Wen... what's wrong?"

Wen Huaiyu leaned on the back seat, took a few intense breaths, and then calmed down his voice: "It's okay, keep driving and go to the airport."

She rubbed between her brows and let out a long sigh of relief.

Why...why didn't she know until now... Pei Songxi suddenly offered to help, Zhou Minchu took the initiative to report to his father, how could these things be accidental, how could it be accidental.

But at that time, she was in a quagmire of emotions. While dealing with company affairs and her father's funeral, at the same time... she was thinking about that person, and was saddened by her saying "may not love anymore", so there were so many The details, so many unusual ones, were ignored by her.

If it wasn't for Pei Songxi, she might never have known it in her life.

The more Wen Huaiyu thought about it, the more she felt blocked in her heart. The sun outside the window was like fire, and her heart seemed to be being scorched by the fire, and her heart was about to be crushed in this capricious emotion.

……

"Boss, a bunch of baby's breath and a bunch of little daisies."

Ji Yirou was picking bouquets in the flower shop. Today she had no part in the show and had nothing to do, so she just went out for a stroll alone, went around the park a few times, bought some fruit, and the time passed without knowing it.

It's getting late, Lin Ling is sick today, resting at the hotel, and even called her to tell her to go back early and not stay out too late.

Ji Yirou was used to her being long-winded like a grandma, so she smiled and said hello.

But she was still ready to go, and she also planned to wander around the night market and buy some small things for dinner. She bought two bowls of porridge on the side of the road and took them home for the sick little assistant.

A rumbling car sounded from a distance, and her attention was attracted. While paying the bill, she turned around and looked back. A black truck was passing by the street. On such a hot day, the driver was still wearing a Wearing a peaked cap, only half of his face was exposed, he was driving very fast, many pedestrians on the side of the road gave way one after another, and angrily called him crazy.

Ji Yirou withdrew her gaze and couldn't help shaking her head, there are always people driving like this.

She carried the porridge and walked back. As she walked, the profile of the driver kept appearing in her mind... She always felt that this person was inexplicably familiar, revealing a kind of crazy despair, but... who was it?

Because she was thinking about something, she walked with her head down all the time, and she didn't notice a person standing not far away, watching her step by step, until the person called her softly, she raised her head.

"Ji Yirou."

That person's voice... Even after half a year, it was still so familiar, it hit her eardrums and pierced her heart.

Ji Yirou subconsciously followed the source of the sound, and saw that person standing under the setting sun, falling in the gentle and intoxicating shadow of the setting sun, her beautiful eyes seemed to be filled with thoughts, just staring at her like that, seeming to forget everything.

She was also stunned... She wanted to say hello, or long time no see, but her lips moved again and again, thinking that she could say this sentence, but in fact, she couldn't make a sound, and her whole body was in a state of panic. Falling into an uncontrolled state, the mind seems to be out of the body, and the mind is wandering.

Until a rumbling car engine sounded, piercing and noisy, her senses finally came back, and she remembered who the driver wearing the peaked cap was - it was Wen Ming who had been absconding!

Her heart was beating violently, as if she had a faint premonition, she turned around, looked around blankly, and saw that black truck rushing across the road at a very fast speed!

The string of reason broke suddenly, she ran almost subconsciously, rushed over, and hugged Wen Huaiyu, due to inertia, the two of them fell to the ground together, Ji Yirou hugged her, carefully protecting her in the into his arms.

The next second, the truck drove past them, hit a utility pole on the side of the road, slammed, and finally stopped.
