After she died, Mr. Bo knelt in front of the tombstone and cried like a dog.

Chen Anran, Chen Anran... Chen Anran knew Xiao Yan a hundred times better than she did.

Ye Xiaowu turned over and turned his back to him: "Forget it."

Tsk.

She was also angry.

Xiao Yan pulled her over and saw her slightly red eyes. He was stunned and amused: "I robbed your money, why are you staring at me like that?"

Ye Xiaowu took a deep breath and asked, "You can take Chen Anran to Mexico, why can't you take me? I said I won't run around and won't cause you any trouble."

"You don't want to apply for the Expo, you want freedom, there is nothing fun in Culiacan, the planes flying overhead could be shot down at any time, if you get bored there, and want to run away, there are no direct flights from Culiacan to New York."

Every word he said was impeccable. He was extremely calm, without even the slightest emotion, and his words were completely focused on the truth.

Shenbo, freedom, money... give him as much as he wants, he can even compromise and not have children at all.

Now she can do whatever she wants, but she doesn't feel satisfied at all.

She suddenly felt upset: "Xiao Yan, are you still blaming me?"

"What's your fault?"

"It's my fault that I didn't keep the child..."

Xiao Yan hugged her, resting his chin on the top of her head and sighed softly: "Let's not talk about the past. No matter what you do, I will accept it. Go back to New York and study hard to prepare for your PhD application. If you are stuck in the interview, tell me then. Just say hello."

He seemed to have compromised to the end.

Ye Xiaowu slumped in his arms, clutching the shirt fabric on his chest with both hands. Obviously, everything he wanted was achieved, but he didn't feel happy or refreshed at all: "It's not that I don't want a child. I plan to finish my first year of doctoral studies and adapt to doctoral student life before having one..."

He cupped his palm around the back of her neck and squeezed it gently.

He teased casually, "We'll talk about the future later. Studying for a doctorate is very tiring. Don't rush to promise me anything, or you'll end up shooting yourself in the foot."

He accepted everything and demanded nothing from her.

I don't even need or expect her feelings anymore.

He accepted all her decisions without any bottom line, and whatever she said was the truth.

Ye Xiaowu buried his head in his chest and did not respond for a long time.

"Xiao Yan, I feel..."

You don't love me as much anymore.

The words came to his lips, but he swallowed them back.

Because she is not right.

He said Culiacán was very dangerous, and he said she was different from Chen Anran. She could accept all these things, but also couldn't quite accept them.

They had just reconciled for one day. If it were in the past, at this time, he would definitely take her with him no matter where they went.

She knew that thinking this way might seem a bit hypocritical, but something had really changed.

Now he was tolerant of her and could find no fault with her, but there seemed to be an invisible barrier between them.

She knew that he had no romantic feelings for Chen Anran, and she was not jealous of Chen Anran. It was just that at this moment, she couldn't help but feel jealous of Chen Anran and Lao Ying. To some extent, she was not as close to him as they were.

He believed in Lao Ying, Chen Anran, and Uncle Fei...but he didn't believe in her, but he was obviously the best to her.

Sometimes she wondered, if a relationship started and ended with lies, would it ever be possible to start over again with sincerity?

But she was so unwilling to be sentenced to death by him.

……

The next morning, the core members of the base went to Culiacán to make preparations.

Ye Xiaowu couldn't sleep, so he got up early, which was rare. When he passed by the infirmary on his way to the cafeteria to eat, he saw Chen Anran throwing medicine into the open suitcase.

She stood there and watched for a while. Chen Anran also noticed her and raised his eyebrows and asked, "Do you want to change the medicine or something?"

Ye Xiaowu: "No, I want to ask you something."

"About Ayan?"

Chen Anran guessed it right at once.

Ye Xiaowu nodded silently.

Chen Anran put down the work in her hands, picked up the lady's cigarette box beside her, took out a thin cigarette, and pinched it between her fingertips, "You don't want to ask me what he likes to eat and drink, do you? If you ask me about these, you can observe it yourself..."

Only a lazy person would copy other people's answers, and her answers may not be correct.

Ye Xiaowu said with a guilty conscience: "No, I, I want to go to Culiacan with you."

Chen Anran was stunned when she lit the cigarette with the lighter, as if she had heard something new. She raised her eyebrows and said, "If you want to go to that place, tell A Yan. Tell me. Can my words be more effective than yours?"

Ye Xiaowu's mouth twitched slightly, and he was a little helpless: "It's useless for me to speak. He doesn't believe me and doesn't want to take me to Culiacan."

Chen Anran smiled with a hint of surprise: "He can still let it go like this, well done!"

"...Oh, that's right. You don't know how happy you are when I'm gone. Forget it, just pretend I never looked for you."

She turned around and was about to leave.

Chen Anran held the cigarette box and handed it to her, "Would you like to smoke one?"

"I don't smoke."

Forget it, I’m so annoyed.

It is said that smoking together can open up conversation.

She took Chen Anran's mint lady's cigarette, which had a strong minty and refreshing flavor.

Chen Anran held a lit cigarette between her slender hands and said, "Since he doesn't want to take you, why do you have to go? Culiacan is not fun, and life there is boring. You will probably want to go back to New York in less than two days."

This is the truth. Not only is it not as good as New York, it is not even as good as Southeast Asia.

Ye Xiaowu muttered, "I don't want to go there just because it's fun."

Chen Anran glanced at her and said, "I didn't realize you were so self-aware. But he doesn't want to take you there because it's really dangerous over there. I advise you not to go against him."

Ye Xiaowu lowered his eyes and said, "I can do anything now, since he has no reaction anyway."

No rejection, no response, like a wall made of ice.

Chen Anran said with a smile: "He has no reaction but he continues to pester you."

“But I don’t want it to be just like this.”

People are like this. It’s okay for them to go from 50% full to 100% full, but asking them to go back to 50% full would kill them.

Especially someone as greedy as Ye Xiaowu.

No matter how difficult the client is, she will follow him diligently, let alone Xiao Yan.

Chen Anran said: "Let me remind you, Culiacan is more dangerous than Nanyang. You are so afraid of death..."

Ye Xiaowu interrupted her, looked at her with bright eyes and asked: "So you are willing to take me to Culiacán?"

Chen Anran was stunned: "...Did I agree?"

Ye Xiaowu took advantage of the situation and said, "I just told you that Xiao Yan wouldn't take me there. If he didn't take me there, why did you remind me that it was dangerous there? Don't you mean that you are willing to take me there?"

"Ye Xiaowu, don't push your luck."

Ye Xiaowu rolled his eyes and landed on the big box on the ground. An idea popped up in his mind: "Do you have a bigger box?"

Chen Anran stared at her warily, "What do you want to do?"

"I can hide in a box."

Chen Anran: "But isn't A Yan going to take you to the airport this afternoon?"

Can she still slip back from under A Yan's nose?

Ye Xiaowu threw away the cigarette because it was too hot to smoke.

He hooked his arm around Chen Anran's neck and said with a smile, "When have I ever left without you seeing me off? Why would I need him to do that?"

"what do you mean……"

Chen Anran is a smart person. When you think about it, she helped Ye Xiaowu escape before, and the two of them have done many "bad things" together. In terms of the degree of cooperation in doing bad things, they are still quite high.

So it becomes clear immediately.

Ye Xiaowu whispered to her like a thief: "I will tell him later that I want you to send me off, and then I will hide in the trunk of your car and go back to the base with you. I will hide in your room and sleep with you tonight. Then tomorrow morning I will hide in your suitcase and you will take me on the plane."

Chen Anran is a woman, and no one in the base would enter her room casually. Ye Xiaowu hid in her room and was difficult to be discovered.

The plane was a special plane and there was no security check, so it was easy to get through.

Especially since everyone thought she had already returned to New York today, and with such a busy schedule tomorrow, no one would pay attention to the details.

As long as she was on the plane, she didn't believe that Xiao Yan could throw her off the plane.

Chen Anran looked at her in surprise, "Ye Xiaowu, you are quite smart."

She said without any modesty: "That is it."

Unless she doesn't want to do it, she is smart enough to make up her mind about something.

Chen Anran raised his eyebrows: "What good will it be for me to help you? What if A Yan blames me... I am not like you, who has a golden medal of immunity from death."

Ye Xiaowu raised a finger.

Chen Anran: "Only 10,000? I won't do it."

It’s not enough to be punished by the base.

"One hundred thousand!"

Chen Anran flicked the cigarette ash with his fingertips and said, "If you don't have sincerity, don't come out and mess around."

Ye Xiaowu gritted his teeth and said, "One million!"

This is really bloodletting for those who love money.

Chen Anran clapped her hands and said, "US dollars, thank you."

Depend on!

The lion opened his mouth wide!

Chen Anran had already left the infirmary and was heading towards the cafeteria.

Ye Xiaowu chased after him, "Change the unit, I didn't agree!"

Arrived at the cafeteria.

Everybody is having breakfast.

Just as Chen Anran was about to sit over, Ye Xiaowu, holding a bowl of porridge, whispered, "You've already ripped me off so much, why don't you know what's best for you?"

He bumped his butt against her sideways, pushing her to the side.

As soon as Xiao Yan came in, he saw this scene.

The two of them were talking very close to each other.

Tsk.

Now women are not spared either, right?

Xiao Yan brought the man over and said, "Why are you wasting time so early in the morning? Sit here and eat your meal."

Ye Xiaowu quickly shut up, patted the seat beside him, pulled Xiao Yan to sit down, and said attentively: "I've served you some porridge, drink it quickly."

She put a bunch of side dishes in his bowl, too much.

Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows: "Do you want to kill me?"

Ye Xiaowu took some side dishes from his bowl and put them in his own bowl. While drinking the porridge, he said casually, "I won't bother you this afternoon."

After saying that, she glanced at him secretly.

His face darkened.

Xiao Yan asked coldly: "What's the trouble?"

Ye Xiaowu was looking for death on purpose. "I don't need you to send me off. Chen Anran will send me off."

Xiao Yan sneered: "You are quite good at saving me trouble."

Ye Xiaowu peeled an egg and handed it to him, saying very obediently, "Isn't it? You should cherish a wife like me who is so easy to deal with."

"Wife?"

This is the first time I hear this word.

So damn fresh.

Ye Xiaowu came up and stared at him: "You called me?"

Xiao Yan: “…”

Depend on.

There really is hers.

She picked up a piece of cold vegetable with chopsticks and put it into the porridge. When she picked it up, she found that there was cold onion in it. She frowned.

Xiao Yan looked down at her and took her bowl of porridge. "Eat my bowl."

Ye Xiaowu was so happy that she wanted to ask him if there was anything he hated to eat, but suddenly she remembered what Chen Anran reminded her in the infirmary: those who are attentive will observe for themselves.

He seemed to know everything about her.

But she knew very little about him.

She stared at him absentmindedly, biting her chopsticks.

Xiao Yan threw her a question: "You want me to feed you?"

Ye Xiaowu's ears felt hot and he lowered his head to cut the porridge.

Xiao Yan glanced at her and remembered that this girl was leaving in the afternoon.

I don't know how he became friends with Chen Anran. He was glaring at Chen Anran yesterday.

Since he ignored her, she flirted with all kinds of people.

"Ye Xiaowu."

"Ok?"

His tone was cold and gloomy: "Go back to New York and behave yourself."
