martyrdom

Yuan Fei failed to go to the airport to see Yu Er off.In the afternoon she received a call from home asking her to go to a party together.

Bai Yi's year-end reception at Bai's house.

Always filial, she lost her temper with her parents for the first time on the phone.Yu'er heard the clue, touched and hugged the ground to comfort her, and then managed to help her control her emotions, and reluctantly obeyed her parents' request again.

Putting down the phone, she took a few deep breaths, looked at Yu'er apologetically, and had nothing to say for a moment.But Yu'er led her to the dressing table, and pressed her shoulders to let her sit down in front of the mirror.

"Let me help you with your makeup."

Yuan Fei looked into the girl's smiling eyes from the mirror, and nodded silently.

With her long hair pulled back temporarily, Yu'er skillfully picked out the bottles and jars on the table, and carefully wiped the contents on Yuan Fei's cheeks.

"You shouldn't lose your temper with them." Yu'er saw that she seemed to be served very comfortably, so she tried to talk about what happened a moment ago, "Angry because of self-blame, this should not be something you did."

Some sharp criticisms, because they came from Yu'er's mouth, did not cause any unhappiness in Yuan Fei's heart.She pursed her lips and said in a low voice, "I let you down."

"You let them down." Yu'er nimbly turned her fingers away from her cheek, without caressing, Yuan Fei slowly opened her eyes, but she didn't dare to meet the gaze she was looking at.

Yu'er sighed, and said softly: "We'll meet up later, please apologize. It's easy to talk to your parents anyway."

Yuan Fei nodded, still drooping her eyes silently.

The base makeup was completed, and Yu'er began to outline her eyebrows and eyes.This time the two got very close, it was lingering, and they held their breaths tacitly until the eye makeup was completely completed.

Yu'er backed away, looked at her work from the mirror, and curled the corners of her lips in satisfaction.The already exquisite and beautiful eyebrows and eyes are outlined and added to the charm. The slender eyelashes are clipped into an elegant arc, which becomes more agile as the eyes open and close. Especially at this time, the lonely and drooping eyes are almost uncontrollable.

She stretched out her hand to lift Yuan Fei's chin, allowing her to see herself in the mirror, and asked, "Are you satisfied?"

Yuan Fei was unable to nod because her jaw was pinched, so she hummed as a response.

Yu'er let her go, picked out a lipstick, and just as the lipstick was about to touch her red lips, Yuan Fei grabbed her by the wrist.

"I've let you down, haven't I?" The look in his eyes looked expectant and fearful, full of distressing contradictions.

"How could it be?" Yu'er still smiled softly at her, "If you don't know the general idea, I will even be a little happy if you treat others badly. Because this makes me realize how kind you are to me. "

Thinking of the crazy hurt that night, Yuan Fei bit her lower lip lightly: "I'm not good enough for you..."

Yu'er's smile deepened: "Stupid."

Yuan Fei opened her eyes innocently, expecting fear and conflict, which were replaced by doubts.Yu'er just continued the topic of disappointment or not a moment ago, and glanced at the scar on Yuan Fei's hand: "Whatever you do to others, or to me, will not let me down. Only when you treat yourself badly, will I be disappointed because of it." You're so disappointed in your lack of self-love."

Serious tone, slightly heavy words, today's Yu'er is not as gentle as before, but more gentle than before.

It was another parting, and it was a longer parting. Yu'er had a lot of worries, she knew it all, and couldn't bear it even more.She is willing to take out any promises she can give, and she can feel at ease: "It won't happen this time, I promise."

After applying the lipstick, the whole makeup was completed, and Yu'er started to take care of her long hair.Although she is used to long hair and shawls on weekdays, she basically does not need to take care of it, but it is obviously not suitable for occasions such as receptions.

Yu'er braided her hair on her temples, and then fastened two strands of braided hair behind her ears, with a small clip on one side.The bangs are also combed to the back of the head and fixed, exposing the forehead and hairline, leaving only a few strands of hair to flow naturally, which is both spiritual and soft.

There was no need to wear a dress for the private reception, Yu'er picked out a generous and elegant satin dress for her, paired with necklace and earrings, and finally, she took off the bracelet that she never left, and put it on Yuan Fei's wrist.

Knowing that the bracelet is a meaningful possession of Yu'er, Yuan Fei wanted to refuse, but Yu'er smiled playfully and said that she should also let her see things and think about others.

All dressed up, Yu'er looked her up and down for a long time, and finally pushed her to the full-length mirror by the door with satisfaction.Yuan Fei looked at herself in the mirror, thinking of the next occasion, she felt boring and regrettable.

"Very beautiful." This was Yu'er's last evaluation.

Yuan Fei had no choice but to tease: "A reception with many male guests, and there are also former blind dates, who do you show me dressed up for?"

Yu'er hugged her from behind: "I want to see it."

"Then you... just wait a little longer."

"But you should go."

"I'm not going, I'll show you here, okay?" Yuan Fei's tone seemed as if as long as Yu'er nodded and said yes, she would recklessly fall out with her parents and Bai's family, and stay Stay with her until late at night.

"Don't make trouble." Yu'er let go of her, went to get her wallet and mobile phone, put the coat on her body, finally squatted down in front of her, and changed her shoes herself.

The most humble gesture is also the deepest reluctance before parting.

The sound of closing the door was so ear-piercing that the people inside the door were smiling but wept, while the people outside the door left quickly, but there were accusations in their hearts for no reason.

It turns out that you will also be reluctant.You know that the taste of parting is bitter and painful, so how can you bear to leave me to taste it alone?

Yuan Fei took a taxi to the villa area where the reception was located, and it was only for the first time that she learned about the economic strength of Bai Yi's family.Her family is considered to be a scholarly family, and her parents are both academics. She did not expect that among her friends there are leaders in the business world.

Speaking of which, her identity and job are indeed suitable for being a daughter-in-law for such a family.It seems that in the matter of the blind date, my parents just pushed the boat along because they didn't understand her true thoughts, and the key was the Bai family's intentions.

Looking at the magnificent small western-style building in front of her, Yuan Fei had a premonition of the scene she would see and the treatment she would receive when she walked in, and she immediately had the urge to turn around and run away.

The side door on the side suddenly opened, Yuan Fei looked at the tall and thin woman walking towards her, greeted her and called her mother.

On the face that was always smiling and kind, there was still anger on his face, so he responded and just looked her up and down.She remembered Yu'er's persuasion, so she apologized: "I'm sorry, I had a bad attitude on the phone."

Only then did her mother let go of her face, and walked in with her daughter on her arm: "You are well dressed."

Yuan Fei's expression dimmed, and she followed her into the side door, walked through the corridor, and walked towards the center of the crowd.Someone took the coat she had taken off, someone took her handbag, and handed her a glass of red wine.

Yuan Fei, who seldom attended such occasions, felt a kind of mechanical numbness and surrender. She greeted her mother in a circle, and then politely stayed away from the crowd with an excuse, and stood in front of the partition with the huge mural.

Originally, I was just fascinated by pretending to be interested in the murals, but after a few glances, I became really interested.It was a picture of winter plums in the form of an oil painting, which not only reflected the European style of the villa, but also had a poetic and artistic flavor, which can be called ingenious.

Yuan Fei's gaze moved down from the plum blossom branch, but finally landed on the foot of another person who suddenly appeared at his feet.

Lifting his head, it was Bai Yi.She smiled and wanted to leave, but the man said: "If you don't want to stand side by side with people who have ambiguous thoughts about you, you have to tolerate me standing by your side."

Yuan Fei said lightly, "Don't you have any?"

Bai Yi seemed to be amused by her confidence, and asked back, "Should I have it?"

With Kang Yu's lessons learned, Yuan Fei didn't show mercy to him, and directly turned on the black-bellied mode: "When we first met, it was like showing off like a male peacock spreading its tail, which inevitably misunderstood me."

As expected, an embarrassing expression appeared on Bai Yi's face, and he changed the subject: "My mother likes classical literature, so she asked someone to make this painting. Not using Chinese painting is a compromise to my father."

Yuan Fei nodded, thoughtfully: "So your mother likes me."

Bai Yi smiled helplessly, and complimented him sincerely: "Teacher Yuan is really exquisite."

Yuan Fei sneered, and said bluntly: "Then please tell Mrs. Bai that I already have someone I like." She didn't even want to call her aunt, which was a proud gesture of refusing to seek marriage at all.

Bai Yi said without any surprise: "I know, Gu Yu knows."

Yuan Fei stared at her and frowned.

"Don't look at me like that. I'm a lawyer. Background investigations and information mining are my specialty."

"I thought it was paparazzi's specialty."

Bai Yi was so choked by her, it took him a long time to come back to his senses, and asked her very seriously: "...Are you a hedgehog?"

If a waiter overheard their conversation, they would probably think that they were discussing topics like the animal world.

Yuan Fei probably also felt that she was a little too much, and she blamed herself and vented her anger. Yu'er said that this should not be her proper behavior.So she took the initiative to find a topic to talk about, so as to make up for the rudeness just now: "Speaking of it, why did you become a lawyer?"

This question seemed to be in the right direction, and Bai Yi began to play tricks: "Generally, when a family is in business, what do you want your children to do most?"

"Inherit the business?"

Bai Yi shook his head and spit out two words: "Politics."

Yuan Fei came to a sudden: "So this is the reason why you study law. Politics and law is indeed a good way to go into politics." Speaking of this, he was stunned, and suddenly realized that this Bai Yi was actually very similar to Yu'er.

She remembered that the day she first met Yu'er, Yu'er also used the obscure deja-vu phenomenon to attract her attention.The same ostentation made her admire Yu'er, but disgusted Bai Yi.

She also thought of the living room in Yu'er's home where the West and the West were perfectly matched... The parents' inconsistency in their hobbies led to conflicts in the decoration styles of the home. Such a wonderful common denominator is the love of the elders who is so cute and enviable.

It is even more similar to do business at home and study law.Is it also the consideration of Yu'er's family to want Yu'er to enter politics?

After thinking about it carefully, Yuan Fei found that Yu'er was already a party member in her sophomore year and also served as the chairman of the student union. I am afraid she really meant it.

But this Bai Yi...Yuan Fei raised his eyebrows: "So you went to become a lawyer, are you fighting against the authority of your parents?"

Bai Yi smiled proudly: "How about it, has it changed your impression of me?"

Yuan Fei looked him up and down, and said honestly, "Not really."

Bai Yi: "..."

A few red numbers suddenly popped up in my mind, as well as Yu'er's words that she didn't want to be a graduate student.Yuan Fei seems to have figured out something again. The so-called failure of a course may not only be for rejecting An Ge's internship invitation, but also Yu'er's resistance to the life path arranged by her family.

So what kind of path does Yu'er want to take, and will there be her own shadow on the road in the future?

"Yuan Fei?" Bai Yi called her name for the first time, "What are you thinking, your eyes are straight."

"It's nothing," Yuan Fei finally gave him a friendly smile, "Thank you for telling me this."

The author has something to say:

I think... I deserve a wave of praise.

Praise me for my hard work! !
