There was a long silence, and no one spoke.

Only the sound of each other's breathing is transmitted through the current and drilled into the ears.

Mu Shihuan's hand holding the phone tightened suddenly, and even her nerves tensed up. She knew it shouldn't be, but told herself that she didn't have to, but for some reason, she just couldn't control it.

She couldn't control her emotions in front of Li Jingyan.

From stabbing him that night, to driving him away from the hospital, to now...

The force was getting tighter and tighter, and the veins on the back of his hand seemed to be faintly jumping, and Mu Shihuan suddenly wanted to cut off the phone.

"Shi Huan."

Suddenly, unprepared.

Mu Shihuan's body froze in place like this, and even his breathing stopped.

He didn't seem to have called her Shi Huan before. Since she was Mu Shihuan and he was Li Jingyan, he used to call her by her first name and sometimes called her Mrs. Li when he bullied her.

and also……

Mu Shihuan suddenly came back to his senses.

what's wrong with her?
She even recalled every bit of her and him.

She bit her lip tightly with fine teeth, and she held back her voice.

It's just that the heart is beating violently, and it's a little uncomfortable.

And Li Jingyan seemed to be able to guess what she was thinking, and the next sentence came over——

"Are you ok?"

A simple question.

But things are different.

Even though Mu Shihuan reminded himself not to be influenced by him anymore, and reminded himself to hang up the phone as soon as possible, but when he heard this, his mind went blank for a moment.

Then, blurred sporadic fragments flashed in my mind like watching lights.

It's all... related to Li Jingyan.

At this moment, Mo Shihuan's repulsive emotions surged out again, but this time it was himself who repelled him even more.

"...Very good." She almost squeezed the words out between her teeth.

I don't know if I'm responding to him, or trying to convince myself, and I don't know what I'm talking about, and what kind of mood I'm saying this sentence.

There was silence.

"Is there something wrong?" Mu Shihuan couldn't bear this kind of silence, and without thinking, she blurted out, completely forgetting that she was the one who made the call.

But when the words fell, she quickly woke up again.

She really wanted to choke back, desperately, to tear her face off with him, that's how the eager emotion in her chest bewitched herself.

But in the end, she calmed down.

She closed her eyes.

"Did you arrange it?" she asked.

They didn't say anything, but they understood each other.

Mu Shihuan knew very well that it was either Tang Yu's help or Li Jingyan who could quickly find the right hospital.

Li Yan didn't say anything, so she didn't ask.

She thought, maybe this is the so-called self-deception.

"Is that you?" she asked again.

"No." Li Jingyan replied calmly, without saying a word.

He sure knows.

Mu Shihuan's first reaction was like this, and then she couldn't help thinking, so what does he mean now, waiting for her to ask him?

"Shi Huan, let's meet tomorrow." When her mind was muddled, she heard this sentence.

Mu Shihuan's first reaction was to refuse: "I don't..."

"Boss Su and his wife from Beicheng came to Jiangcheng for business, and also wanted to catch up with the old days." Li Jingyan's deep and unhurried voice interrupted her.

Mu Shihuan held the phone tightly again.

At the first moment, she didn't realize who Mr. Su and his wife were, until she belatedly realized that there was another prefix in front.

North City...

As soon as Beicheng was mentioned, all that came to her mind in an instant was the sweet world of two people with him.

She remembered.

But, now it seems that how sweet it was then, it hurts later.

Mu Shihuan fell silent, but his chest heaved uncontrollably.

Obviously invisible, but Li Jingyan can clearly perceive it.

His Adam's apple rolled, he didn't waste time, and added in a low voice: "Do you remember them? We went to the Su family's wedding, and you met Chi Hua there. The thing we're going to talk about tomorrow is about Chi Hua."

All Mu Shihuan's rebuttal words were blocked in his throat.

Chi Hua...

She remembers.

At that time, she was a friend who was very eye-catching when she first saw her, and she and Chi Hua also had a lot of conversations.

But then Chi Hua disappeared.

Mu Shihuan tightly pressed his lips together.

"There's no need to lie to you." Li Jingyan knew what she was thinking, "There's no need, is there?"

Just this one sentence brought back a lot of common memories between the two of them.

However, for Mu Shihuan, it was all pain.

She bit her lip tightly, breathing rapidly.

"Tomorrow I will ask Gao Yi to pick you up." Li Jingyan continued in a low voice, "If you are worried about me, you can ask Li Yan to accompany you."

He really wanted to talk to her a few more words, even if he didn't speak, it would be good to listen to her breathing, but Li Jingyan was well aware of her disgust and rejection of him, so he didn't say anything after all.

"See you tomorrow." Before hanging up the phone, he just said so.

The call ends here.

Li Jingyan's voice and his breathing could no longer be heard, only the sound of water from the shower.

Mu Shihuan calmly put away the phone.

It's just that her hand holds the phone very tightly.

After a long time, she took off her clothes and took a shower with no expression on her face. She was in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking at all.

That night, Mu Shihuan had a long, long dream.

In the dream, there is the past at the beginning, the youngest she and Li Jingyan, and the mutual dislike between the two later, she fell in love with him first, and he bullied her and doted on her...

Frame by frame, scene by scene.

too much.

Clear as yesterday.

But this night, Mu Shihuan was in a trance and drowsy, and Mu Shihuan didn't sleep well at all.

too tired.

……

The next day.

Yu Linshang happened to be here when the first year of high school called.

He proposed to have lunch with her and Xiao Xingxing, and it happened to be the first year of high school.

Gao Yi said everything according to Li Jingyan's instructions.

Mu Shihuan understood what he meant, so he took his words, and said apologetically to Yu Linshang: "In the evening, Madam Su is a friend I met before. She sent me a WeChat message all morning, saying that she wanted to meet, sorry. I can't accompany you."

Yu Linshang smiled: "Okay, then tonight."

Mu Shihuan also smiled at him.

The next second, Little Xingxing, who was held in Yu Linshang's arms, stretched out his arms and put his arms around Mu Shihuan's neck, and kissed her on the face with a "paw", smiling very cutely.

After kissing, she pointed to her own face with her finger, indicating that she wanted to kiss her too.

Mu Shihuan would never reject Little Xingxing.

"Okay." She smiled lightly, her lips touching Little Xingxing's face.

After kissing without thinking, Little Xingxing poked Yu Linshang's face again, as if saying that he wanted to kiss his father too.

"Don't be naughty," Yu Linshang smiled and grabbed Xiao Xingxing's hand, then looked at Mu Shihuan tenderly, and said softly, "Go, if you want me to pick you up, just call."

Mu Shihuan did not refuse: "Okay."

She nodded, looked at Xiao Xingxing and smiled again, and then walked towards the car driven by Gao Yi.

Gao Yi opened the car door for her as usual.

Mo Shihuan's footsteps paused slightly, but it took only a second to continue.

She got into the car.

In the rearview mirror, Yu Linshang was still standing there holding Little Xingxing, as if he was looking at her.

Mu Shihuan looked away and closed his eyes.

Gao Yi was driving the car, but still couldn't help but glance at Mo Shihuan from the rearview mirror. Thinking of the scene he just saw, he felt very complicated, but after all, he had no right to say anything.

It was silent all the way, and finally stopped in front of an alley after half an hour.

Gao Yi led Mu Shihuan inside, and when he arrived at a private vegetable shop, he pushed open the box door, and said in a low voice, "Madam, President Li is inside."

After he finished speaking, he realized his habitual address belatedly. He was afraid that Mu Shihuan would be in a bad mood, so he hurriedly changed his words: "Sorry, Miss Mu."

Mu Shihuan didn't speak. In fact, she didn't know what to say.

She walked into the box.

As far as the eye can see, there is only Li Jingyan alone.

At this moment, Mu Shihuan wasn't very surprised, she even expected this would happen a long time ago, so her heart was calmer than she imagined.

"Boss Su and his wife will arrive in about 15 minutes, and the sophomore is on their way to pick them up." Li Jingyan was the first to break the silence, "Sit down."

He pulled out the chair for her, right across from him.

Mu Shihuan didn't look at him, and sat down directly opposite him, wanting to say thank you indifferently, but the words got stuck in his throat, and no matter what, he couldn't make a sound.

Her body was stiff and uncontrollable.

In a daze, she felt that it had been a long, long time since she had been alone in a room with Li Jingyan.

"Look first."

Suddenly, Li Jingyan handed something over.

Mu Shihuan raised his head, and finally said the first sentence, but it was a little hoarse and tense: "What?"

"Photos," Li Jingyan said succinctly, "about Chi Hua."

Mu Shihuan understood it all at once, or rather, she guessed something.

"Are you looking for her?"

"Yes."

really.

"Where is she?" she asked again.

Li Jingyan looked at her, and said two words with her thin lips: "Hong Kong City."

Mu Shihuan's heart sank.

Speculation is getting closer.

She glanced at him, his hand still outstretched in the air.

No reminders, no reminders.

Mo Shihuan's eyelashes trembled, and he took it.

Open--

It was indeed a photo about Chi Hua.

However, the other face in the photo is also very familiar.

Yu Linshang.

Chi Hua and Yu Linshang...

Looking at the environment, it seems to be a holiday island abroad.

look at the time...

Mu Shihuan frowned.

She remembered that this day was after Little Xingxing's birthday.

Unconsciously, Mo Shihuan squeezed the photo harder.

Li Jingyan told the origin of the photo in a low voice, but he didn't mention Yu Linshang at all, let alone tell her to be careful of Yu Linshang.

Mo Shihuan remained silent, just staring at the photo in his hand.

Li Jingyan didn't say anything more.

Stretching out his hand, he poured a glass of boiled water and handed it to her.

Mo Shihuan noticed it out of the corner of his eye.

She didn't make a sound or move.

No one spoke again.

Time passed quietly, and the temperature of the cup of boiling water he poured gradually decreased.

Mu Shihuan looked down, and moved his fingertips.

"Let's talk about little stars," she said.
