other lights

In the words of Ban Xia, Ye Zhen, who has lived for 30 years, encountered the most feeling of low self-esteem.

Since she was a child, she has been a person who is very bad at speaking and communicating. Her parents don't earn much money, so they can't make her live better materially, but they don't have to worry about food and clothing.

She is just an ordinary girl.

The kind of girl who sits in the front row of the classroom, her school uniform is always clean and tidy, her desk is always spotless, her notes are always a sample for the whole class to circulate, and she is always in the top ten of the exam, but she is neither outstanding nor backward.

There is no crazy youth, no imprint of first love that can't be shaken off, not even a rebellious period, just come here so plainly.If she hadn't failed the college entrance examination, she would have been admitted to a better school and continued to be an ordinary person.But she came to Beijing, met Lu Licheng, and her life turned upside down.

Lu Licheng was someone she admired, so even though she became more and more confident under his influence, she always felt inferior when facing him.Especially after establishing a relationship with him, she felt that her efforts could never catch up with him. When everyone talked about her, she would say that she was just a vassal of him.

Ye Zhen felt that it was like the moon was shining because of the sun's light, so it chose to disappear when the sun appeared.This kind of inferiority complex has continued until now, facing a Lu Licheng who is completely different from her college days, even if she is in a high position, she still cannot accept the argument that Lu Licheng still likes her with peace of mind.

Ban Xia is completely different, her emotion is hot and bright, once it burns, it cannot be extinguished, just wait for the courage and passion to be reduced to ashes, and then wave goodbye to each other to welcome the next love.

Ye Zhen, who has low self-esteem, has a small heart and can only pretend that Lu Licheng is alone.

Even though she has received more than ten years of education, even if she has gradually achieved success in the legal profession, she is still like the girl who entered the university campus when she faced feelings, standing in the huge school, looking around at a loss .

With the expectation of Pinellia, Ye Zhen came to Shanghai in early July to represent their law firm at the National Lawyers Conference.

It was humid and hot in Shanghai in July, and the mighty Huangpu River rushed into the sea, washing her eardrums.

She got off the plane and went to a pre-booked hotel in the center of the city with her colleagues in Beijing. Originally, most of the men could share rooms, but because of her title of boss, she became a loner. The next two girls shared one room, so she had to open another one, but was told that the single and double rooms in this hotel were full.

She called several nearby hotels, all because of the law conference.

Ye Zhen stared at the word Lu Licheng in the address book and frowned for a long while. She only knew him in this unaccompanied place, and suddenly remembered that Ban Xia said that she wanted to get in touch with him a few times, so she had to make a phone call. Turn to him.

"Hello." Lu Licheng's voice was very calm.

"I'm Ye Zhen." She whispered.

She was still in the lobby of the hotel, surrounded by colleagues, she felt a little guilty for some reason, and quietly walked aside.

"What's the matter?" Lu Licheng was obviously working, and the sound of clicking the mouse didn't stop, but it softened a lot because of hearing her voice.

"I'm in Shanghai," she said, "I came to attend the Lawyers Conference, but now there is a problem with the arrangement here, and I don't have a place to live, so... can I trouble you to book a room for me?"

The mouse sound disappeared.

"Where are you?"

She stared at the hotel's sign and reported the address.

"I'll come over now."

"Aren't you at work?" She asked in surprise.

"I'm the president." He said flatly.

Ye Zhen was stunned by his words, and a sentence from Feng Xiaoluo, a fan of novels, suddenly popped up in her head: Domineering presidents are indeed the most irresistible characters.

She returned to the front desk with a little smile, and said to the colleague in charge of logistics: "Don't bother, my friend will be here soon, and he will help me arrange it." Then she said goodbye to the others one by one, pulling Walk out the door with the suitcase.

Perhaps it was because it was near the city center, and Lu Licheng's car arrived very quickly.

It's still a black Land Rover, but it's obviously not the one from ten years ago.

He got off the driver's seat, opened the trunk and stuffed her luggage into it, then stuffed her into the co-pilot's seat, leaned over to fasten her seat belt, pulled his buckle up, and started the ignition. The whole action is done in one go.

Before Ye Zhen could speak, he pushed her into the car. After 2 minutes, she realized that someone was looking at her, and turned to meet his eyes.

"Okay... drive well, if you get into a car accident, how can I explain to your company people." She said nervously.

"Well, good." Lu Licheng said.

The atmosphere in the car was strangely quiet, no matter how slow Ye Zhen was, she could sense it. She racked her brains to say something, but to no avail. In the end, it was Lu Licheng who spoke.

"have you eaten?"

Eh?

Ye Zhen was taken aback.

"not yet……"

She looked at her watch, it was three o'clock in the afternoon, an embarrassing time.

"Let's take you to eat some dessert first, and then cook for you in the evening." Lu Licheng said.

Ye Zhen suddenly had the illusion that they were dating, and there seemed to be something wrong with this feeling of an old couple.

"I... just book a hotel, you put me down, I can do it myself." She lowered her head and said in a low voice.

Lu Licheng pulled the car aside with a squeak, and moved her head to stare at her eyes. Ye Zhen felt that his eyes were about to burst into flames.

"I can..." He sneered, "After all, it's still the same as it was ten years ago."

He asked her, "Did you ever have someone else?"

Um?Why did the topic change so quickly?

Ye Zhen was restrained by him, she nodded slightly, and answered him honestly: "Yes."

Lu Licheng raised his eyebrows: "Who?"

"Can you not say it?" She lowered her eyes and asked.

"No."

"Lu Licheng, why are you so overbearing?" She sighed softly, "How did I offend you?"

"Tell me who it is first." He pressed her mercilessly.

"He's already married, so what's the matter with him?" She said coolly.

Lu Licheng was a little surprised: "Married?"

"I originally considered marrying him, because his conditions were more suitable in all aspects, and he was very close to me at the time, but then... I found out that I didn't like him." She laughed, "So we broke up, he Married to one of my colleagues, it turns out that I made the right choice and they are very happy."

Lu Licheng couldn't laugh or cry, the flame that had been brewing for a long time was finally extinguished, and he rubbed her long hair: "Is it the beauty of a gentleman?"

"Isn't it right?" She asked him back, choking him for a while.

Letting go of her face, he restarted the car.

"Let me tell you, Zhenzhen, although you already know a lot, I still want to explain it to you personally, because I don't think you need to hide this matter from you."

"Her name is Su Man."

"When we met, she hadn't joined our company. She was the general manager of an accounting firm. Later, when I saw her again, she became a small clerk in our company."

……

For more than an hour, Lu Licheng spoke quietly, and she listened quietly. He got out of the car to buy cakes and black tea, and she took this story as a pleasure to accompany the meal.

"So I missed it?" Ye Zhen put the garbage in a bag and put it by her feet, and asked seriously.

"It can only be said that there is no fate." Lu Licheng shrugged.

"That……"

Why do you like her?Ye Zhen wanted to ask, but didn't say it.

"I saw you in Beijing by accident later, and He Fengqing Lao Luo inquired about you, so I knew why I liked Su Man at that time." Lu Licheng seemed to be able to read her mind.

She foolishly turned to look at his handsome profile, watching his plump lips open and close.

"Because I found that she is too much like you."

"In addition to her personality, her hard work, seriousness, calmness, and stubbornness are all too similar to you." He said, "That's why... I paid so much attention to her, just like I suddenly noticed you back then."

"It's too superficial to like, Zhenzhen."

"Do you know? On the Internet, what do they call such a person?" Ye Zhen said firmly, "I'm lucky, I don't want my life, I don't fight, this kind of person is called a lover."

Lu Licheng suddenly laughed.

"That's because it's not worth it."

"You know me, Zhenzhen."

"I will do my best for the things I like and get the first place. Once I don't fight or grab it, then I am hesitating whether it is worth it or not."

"Then what is worth it?" Ye Zhen asked.

"I don't know," he said. "It's home."

Lu Licheng stopped the car slowly and unbuckled his seat belt.

Ye Zhen got out of the car silently to carry the luggage, but found that the man snatched her first.

The house was still as she remembered it, but it was a little more cozy because a big dog greeted her through the glass door.

Lu Licheng opened the door, and Heihua ran over with a whimper, smelled Ye Zhen's scent, then yelled twice, and rubbed against her body.

"It likes you very much." Lu Licheng knelt down and touched Heihua's head and said.

"It can be seen." Ye Zhen stretched out her hand to touch it with a smile.

Taking advantage of this time, Lu Licheng moved his luggage into the living room. Looking back, Ye Zhen and Hei Hua were surrounded by the warm afternoon sun, and their entire portraits were glowing.

The scene of deja vu seemed to have appeared on that girl, and the figure of that person was gradually covered by Ye Zhen.
