President, your baby, please sign for it!

After lunch, Zong Zong went to take a lunch break, and Jiang Mo started cleaning.

Seeing Ye Baizhi changing into a set of sports clothes, Jiang Mo was taken aback for a moment, stopped what he was doing, and said, "Miss Ye, I want to know more about your eating and living habits."

Holding the thermos, Ye Baizhi frowned slightly after hearing Jiang Mo's words, thought for a while, and said, "How about this, I'll ask the secretary to send it to you later."

Jiang Mo nodded and said, "Okay."

After two full days of contact this weekend, she found that Ye Baizhi's life is very regular - eating on time and on time, going to the gym at around three o'clock in the afternoon, and drinking water is mostly boiled water...

What's more, on the bookshelves, there are rare books on finance, but various books on health preservation, and a textbook on advanced mathematics and physics will appear from time to time.

Even in the refrigerator, Jiang Mo didn't see any beer or beverages, but bottles of mineral water, and the packaging was written in English.

"By the way, don't call me Miss Ye from now on, and don't use 'you' to address me." When going out, Ye Baizhi couldn't help turning her head and said to Jiang Mo with a smile.

After speaking, Ye Baizhi left.

Jiang Mo looked at the door and was in a daze. Then what should her name be Ye Baizhi—Mr. Ye?or something else?

Ye Baizhi's apartment is not big, the decoration is also very simple, and it is very convenient to clean.

Jiang Mo wiped the bedside table in Ye Baizhi's bedroom, and saw the pink post-it note on it, which was the one she wrote in the morning.

Picking up the sticky note, Jiang Mo stared at the words on it, froze for a moment, and then put it back in its original position.In fact, she wanted to throw it away, but since Ye Baizhi put the post-it note here, it must be on purpose.

But for some reason, looking at the post-it note on the bedside table, the corner of Jiang Mo's mouth twitched.

After cleaning carefully, Jiang Mo returned to her bedroom, looked at Zong Zong sleeping soundly on the small bed, leaned over and kissed her little cheek.

Shangguan Zhizi: What are you doing?Jiang Xiaomo.

Jiang Mo clicked on WeChat and saw a message from Shangguan Zhizi, lying on the bed, and replied: I'm lying down.

Shangguan Zhizi:? ? ?Are you so free? ?

Jiang Mo frowned: Otherwise?

Shangguan Zhizi sent a disgusted emoji, saying: How is the battle between you and Sister Yu?

Jiang Mo saw this, paused for a moment, and replied: What's the situation?

Shangguan Zhizi:? ? ?Jiang Xiaomo, can you stop running away?

Jiang Mo exhaled, glanced at Zong Zong next to her, and replied: She is easy to get along with, and I do my best. Generally speaking, she is very good.

Shangguan Zhizi:? ?It's over?

Jiang Mo: Otherwise?

Shangguan Zhizi in front of the screen saw Jiang Mo's three words, frowned, and uttered a voice resentfully: Tsk tsk tsk, can you take the initiative, you are obviously attracted to him, but you still don't admit it.Besides, that's a super big money, a proper Bai Fumei, after this village, there will be no such shop!

Jiang Mo listened to it several times, looked at the screen, was silent for a while, and said: I think I am grateful to her, and she is only normal to me, and it has not crossed the line.

Shangguan Zhizi still had a black question mark face, and sent:? ?All right, just don't cry when the time comes.

Jiang Mo looked at the words on the screen, bit her lip, put down the phone, turned sideways, and silently recited the words "Ye Baizhi", suddenly getting more and more upset.

Jiang Mo sat up, picked up her phone again, and searched for "the difference between gratitude and love" in Baidu. The page loaded, and relevant results popped up. She clicked on the first one, which read:

love is unique

gratitude is not love

If you are grateful for someone (provided that the person likes, but you do not call him (her))

Then you don't say you like this person

Although time can create feelings, it's not love

you will hurt the person you want to be grateful for

Advice: Don't say love to a grateful person so easily that it will hurt him (her)

Followed by another post:

Be aware of your feelings.

Some people regard temporary curiosity as passion, while others confuse sympathy with charity and love.

If you don't have a dreaming feeling for the other person, if you don't have the determination to make any sacrifices for him, then you probably don't love him.

Jiang Mo turned it over and over, read it many times, thought for a while, and began to ask herself: Is she calling Ye Baizhi?The answer seems to be - call.

Then he asked again: Does she have a dream about Ye Baizhi?Or is it the determination to make any sacrifices to her again?The answer seems to be - no.

Thinking of this, Jiang Mo turned off the screen and lay down again. Indeed, she is grateful to Ye Baizhi, not love.

Suddenly, as if relieved from a heavy burden, and as if a lump had collapsed in his heart, a little uncomfortable and a little depressed, Jiang Mo looked at Zong Zong's sleeping appearance, and closed his eyes.

An hour and a half later, Ye Baizhi came back. As soon as she entered the door, she found it was very quiet. Zong Zong was in the living room, playing with the small 8 without making any sound.

"Aunt Ye is back!" Zongzong heard the door and ran over, saying in a low voice.

Ye Baizhi squatted down, imitating the way Zong Zong spoke, and said, "Where's your mother?"

"Mom is asleep."

Ye Baizhi nodded, touched Zongzong's head with a smile, and said, "Auntie, go take a bath first, and when you get back, let's play together, okay?"

When Zongzong heard it, he nodded and said with a grin, "pull the hook~"

After taking a bath, Ye Baizhi put on a bathrobe and hugged Zong Zong.

Jiang Mo vaguely heard a voice, opened his eyes, and checked the time. It was almost five o'clock, so he hurriedly got up and went to the kitchen.

"Mom, are you awake?" Zong Zong was sitting in Ye Baizhi's arms with bare feet in the living room, and said after seeing Jiang Mo come out.

Jiang Mo straightened her hair briefly, and said to Ye Baizhi, "I'm sorry."

Ye Baizhi smiled and said, "No need to apologize."

Jiang Mo bit her lip and asked again: "Then I'll cook now, what do you want to eat?"

"What would Zong Zong want to eat?" Ye Baizhi thought for a while, then turned to ask Zong Zong in his arms.

Only then did Jiang Mo come to his senses, Zong Zong sat in Ye Baizhi's arms, his eyes flashed sullenly, looking at Zong Zong.

After seeing Jiang Mo's eyes, Zong Zong immediately got out of Ye Baizhi's arms, stood beside her, and said, "What does Aunt Ye want to eat?"

Of course, Ye Baizhi also saw Jiang Mo's eyes, frowned slightly, and said, "Do whatever you want."

"it is good."

Zongzong looked at her mother's figure, her little hands churned together, she knew that her mother was angry just now, she sat in Aunt Ye's arms, sighed deeply, and said to Ye Baizhi: "Aunt Ye, I went to play in the bedroom, Goodbye, auntie!"

Ye Baizhi saw Zong Zong's calves walking and running, and thought of Zong Zong's sigh just now, she lowered her head and smiled, she is really a big kid.

"Zong Zong is not sensible, don't mind." Jiang Mo said to Ye Baizhi when she knew that Zong Zong had gone to the bedroom.

Ye Baizhi got up, went to the kitchen, got closer to Jiang Mo, and said, "No, she is very sensible, and I like her very much. But you, the look in your eyes just now, not only slapped you, but also scared me."

Jiang Mo raised his eyelids, inadvertently saw Ye Baizhi's exposed collarbone, shifted his gaze, and said, "Is there?"

"Of course there is. By the way, pass me that apple." Ye Baizhi said with a smile, pointing to the apple next to Jiang Mo.

Jiang Mo handed over an apple, Ye Baizhi took it, turned around and planned to leave.

Suddenly thought of something, Jiang Mo hastily grabbed Ye Baizhi who was about to leave, it was a subconscious reaction.

Ye Baizhi turned around, looked at her shoulders that were exposed because of Jiang Mo's pulling, and was stunned, looking at Jiang Mo for no reason.

Seeing this, Jiang Mo was taken aback for a moment, turned his head unnaturally, and said, "I'm sorry, the bottom of that apple is broken, I want to replace it for you."

Ye Baizhi nodded, went around, changed the apples, said "thank you", and left, but there was a slight blush on her face with her back to Jiang Mo.

Looking at Ye Baizhi's back, Jiang Mo couldn't help feeling flustered when she saw the right-angled shoulders and a small piece of smooth back just now, and her face was emitting heat.

Ye Baizhi was sitting on the bed in the bedroom, the blush was still on her face, looking at the apple in her hand, recalling the scene just now, a word suddenly came to her mind - "old slippery shoulders", glanced at the bathrobe on her body, Get up and change one.

After a while, Jiang Mo cooked the meal. He wanted Zong Zong to call Ye Baizhi, but Zong Zong seemed to be concentrating on writing something, so he came to Ye Baizhi's bedroom door and said, "Boss Ye... .time to eat."

Ye Baizhi nodded and said, "Okay." For some reason, she always felt that the atmosphere between her and Jiang Mo was a bit awkward after experiencing the "old shoulder slippery" just now, as if there was a bit of ambiguity mixed in.

At the dinner table, Zong Zong looked back and forth between Jiang Mo and Ye Baizhi, and she also felt that there was something wrong with them.

Ye Baizhi glanced at Jiang Mo, whose head was slightly lowered, and broke the silence, saying, "When I'm at work, I don't go home for lunch. If I eat at night, I'll call you in advance."

"Okay." Jiang Mo raised his head and said, and saw that the bathrobe on Ye Baizhi's body had been changed, and an unknown meaning flashed in his eyes.

Ye Baizhi nodded, then looked at the rice in the bowl, wondering what she was thinking.

Then the dinner table fell into an eerie silence again.

Zong Zong frowned, looking at Jiang Mo and Ye Baizhi from time to time.

"Cough, I suddenly remembered that I'm going on a business trip tomorrow."

Jiang Mo raised his eyelids and said, "Okay, I'll help you pack your luggage later."

"No need, I'll clean it up myself." Ye Baizhi refused.

Jiang Mo looked at Ye Baizhi, lowered his head again, bit his lips, and said, "Okay, how many days is this business trip?"

"Not necessarily. After the matter over there is resolved, they will come back." Ye Baizhi replied, the atmosphere finally eased up here.

Jiang Mo nodded and said, "Well, let me know in advance when you come back."

Zong Zong's little head turned back and forth, listening to the conversation between the two, he couldn't help saying: "Aunt Ye is going on a business trip?"

Ye Baizhi heard Zong Zong's milky voice and said with a smile: "Yes, Auntie has to go to other provinces."

"Is the province fun?" Zong Zong asked again.

Ye Baizhi put down her chopsticks, touched Zong Zong's little head, and said, "Outside provinces are fun, do Zong Zong want to go?"

......

In the evening, after Ye Baizhi finished packing her luggage, it was almost ten o'clock, and Zong Zong and Jiang Mo should be asleep.

Feeling a little thirsty, she walked out, and suddenly heard someone sobbing, Ye Baizhi frowned slightly, and walked over looking for the sound.

Gently pushing open the door, I saw Jiang Mo sitting on the floor of the bedroom, with her head buried in her knees, trembling slightly, holding back her voice.

Feeling someone approaching, Jiang Mo stopped sobbing, looked up and saw Ye Baizhi standing beside him, his whole body tensed up instantly.

Ye Baizhi sighed, helped Jiang Mo up, and said in a low voice, "Aren't you afraid of disturbing Zong Zong when you cry like this?"

Jiang Mo sniffed, lowered her head, and said nothing.

"Come with me to the living room, okay?" Ye Baizhi said again.

Jiang Mo followed Ye Baizhi to the living room, and the soft light in the living room shone on the two of them.

Seeing Jiang Mo's pear blossoms in the rain, Ye Baizhi frowned, handed over the paper, and said, "Can you tell me why you are crying? Are you...unhappy with me?"

"No, I'm very happy, and thank you very much." Jiang Mo looked at the tissue, bit his lip, shook his head, and said in a crying voice.

Ye Baizhi said again: "Then why are you crying?" This was the third time she saw Jiang Mo crying, the first time was because of Zong Zong, the second time was being bullied by Xia Yadan, and the third time was why.

When Jiang Mo heard this, she was silent—she didn't want to cry, but her emotions were in the dark, without the wrapping of the day, it was easy to vent.

In the past six years, every time Jiang Mo was depressed, after Zong Zong fell asleep, he would sit on the ground covering his face and sobbing.

"Life...is it hard?" Ye Baizhi looked at the teardrops in Jiang Mo's eyes and asked softly.

Jiang Mo didn't respond at first, then nodded and said, "Life...is really hard."

Ye Baizhi looked at Jiang Mo and said nothing. Ding Xiang was very curious, why Ye Baizhi was born in such a rich family, but lived so frugally?The answer was a coincidence—that she knew life was hard.

Some people suffer from money, some people suffer from people, and some people suffer from numbness.

Not everyone is born like her, with a golden spoon in their mouths. There are only a few such people. Most of them have to work hard for their lives when they grow up.

Just like Jiang Mo, but Jiang Mo is a small part of the vast majority - single mother, low education, average ability, of course life will not let her go easily.

Thinking of this, Ye Baizhi stood up and hugged Jiang Mo, Jiang Mo froze in the face of the sudden hug.

"When you want to cry in the future, come to me." Ye Baizhi's breath came from Jiang Mo's ear, with a scent.

Jiang Mo did not hug Ye Baizhi back, but nodded and said, "Thank you, thank you very much."

Ye Baizhi let go of her embrace, saw Jiang Mo's tears falling silently again, picked up a tissue to wipe her.

Jiang Mo bit her lip, her eyelids drooped, she didn't know what she was thinking, she thought Ye Baizhi had already fallen asleep, so she quietly indulged her tears, now all she can indulge is tears.

Unexpectedly, Ye Baizhi heard it and came to comfort her, which made Jiang Mo's heart complicated again, because from the bottom of her heart, she didn't want to cry in front of Ye Baizhi anymore, but she still shed tears today.

The author has something to say:

"Don't persuade others to be kind without suffering from others"

When writing this chapter, I was actually very depressed. Because I have seen it, I understand Jiang Mo very well.

Therefore, regardless of whether the current situation is good or bad for you who are reading the article in front of the screen, I sincerely hope that everyone can really live happily every day.

You know, life is bitter, but you are sweet.
