Prey [Zhu Chaoyang x Ye Chimin]

Descartes said: People who cannot make decisions, either because of too much desire, or because of insufficient awareness.

Zhu Chaoyang set the last e-mail to be sent regularly, then closed the notebook, turned off the power, and placed it in the bottom drawer.

Motivation comes from desire. Desire is like a truck. It is easy to roll over when overloaded and may be detained. Zhu Chaoyang feels that his desire is not great. So far, what he wants is within his ability.

So Yang Rui, you will never achieve your goal. He stretched his neck, turned off the lamp, touched the glass bowl with his hand, and remembered that the sugar water hadn’t been drunk yet. He picked up the bowl and drank it in the dark, snorting, The taste of the sugar water deteriorated after being left outside for a few hours, but he still drank it to the last drop.

He cherishes every bowl of sugar water his wife makes for him, and every shirt that is washed and ironed, just as he cherishes every minute that is hard-won.Ten years later, he is still not sure how long this will last. Ye Jun is gone and Yang Rui is there. The past can never really be wiped away. What do Xiao Min and his wife talk about when they are together?

The noisy man with big thoughts and Yang Rui are a natural match.

The previously agreed trip did not take place, and Ye Chimin was worried about the children. The baby had a fever again in the past two days, and finally Zhu Chaoyang took her to the villa for a night, which was considered a short-lived world for two.

He understood Zhu Yongping's mood a little bit. After the family had a child, his wife no longer belonged to him completely, and that sense of loss could not be expressed openly, especially when he met a wife like Zhou Chunhong who devoted herself to children and housework, men were ignored. , so I ran outside.

But it's not necessarily true, Xiao Min is around the child every day, and he has never complained, which shows that he is different from his father.

My father and I are different.

The clear moonlight penetrated the thin curtains, and the whole bedroom seemed to be shrouded in a hazy mist. He passed through this haze, and touched the sleeping woman on the bed. He had already returned to the room, and she had to wake up. Come.

Ye Chimin rubbed his eyes, and muttered inarticulately what time it was.

He lifted the quilt and sneaked in like a fish, "I just finished drinking sugar water, do you want to taste it?"

Zhu Chaoyang's business card had the title of vice president, and Yang Rui had also received the official appointment of the captain. He always felt that his promotion had something to do with his father, but he couldn't break away from this relationship. There will be a voice: Zhu Chaoyang has come to this point all by himself, and this voice makes him depressed.

"You said that the deputy monitor, why does he always have trouble with you?" Baby asked Beibei at breakfast, Beibei spread his hands helplessly, "Because I am better than her in every exam."

"Then just ignore her." Baby comforted his brother kindly.

"Who cares about him? It's all about her. Yesterday she forgot to wear the badge and she gave her a three-point penalty. She also said that I didn't clean the floor cleanly." Beibei bit the bread, as if to treat it as a The deputy squad leader.

"Girls are small-minded," said the baby, forgetting that he was also a girl.

Zhu Chaoyang kept kicking Ye Chimin's feet lightly under the table, and the latter fought back with a blushing face, "Ask your mother, your mother has experience." Zhu Chaoyang said with a smile.

Beibei shook her head, "How can my mother have the experience of a shrew, she is a shrew, pervert."

Ye Chimin couldn't listen anymore, "Beibei, mom will teach you." Fuer went over to tell him so and so, Beibei's frowning brows were slowly loosened, and the corners of his mouth raised, "Mom, you really have a way."

"Your mother is..." Zhu Chaoyang choked on the second half of his words, "Hurry up and eat, we'll be late." Ye Chimin gave him a blank look.

"I want my dad to drive me." Beibei made a request.

"There is a traffic jam all over the street, it's better to walk fast." Ye Chimin patted his head, "I'll give you another 5 minutes."

Beibei looked at his father, Zhu Chaoyang shook his head helplessly, Beibei could only stuff the remaining bread and ham into his mouth, puffed his cheeks, put on his coat, carried his schoolbag, and drank half a glass of milk before going out.

"This child has a big appetite this year, and he will definitely grow taller than his father in the future." Zhou Chunhong stood lovingly at the door and watched his grandchildren go to school. At this time, Zhu Chaoyang's phone rang, and he picked it up. It was a Hebei number.

"Hello?" He stood up.Perhaps it was telepathy, Ye Chimin turned around at the door, and his eyes met Zhu Chaoyang's.

"Youyou, long time no see." Zhu Chaoyang's voice was exaggeratedly relaxed, and he blinked at Xiaoye at the same time.

You Jingjing needed to transfer her family's foreign assets to China. It turned out that those old relationships were unreliable. The first thing she thought of was Zhu Chaoyang, and Zhu Chaoyang immediately thought of someone.

"It's just that the management is tight now, I'm afraid..." "I admit it," You Jingjing said eagerly, "Chaoyang, do you have a reliable channel? I'm really in a hurry to spend money here."

Zhu Chaoyang opened the phone book, found Fang Lina's number and sent it to her, "Ask her."

"Is it reliable?"

"This is my junior high school classmate." Zhu Chaoyang said.

"Thank you." You Jingjing hung up the phone for the first time.

He called Fang Lina again and told her about You Jingjing, "Don't worry about my face, you can do whatever you want," he sat on the window sill, watching Ye Chimin walk into the yard in the morning light, Xiao Huang bouncing around He came up to meet her and sent the hostess into the house, then bounced back to enjoy herself under the apple tree.

Fang Lina seemed to have not gotten up yet, yawned and said yes, thank you.

"You can tell me thank you today." Zhu Chaoyang smiled and took his wife's hand, letting her sit beside him.

Fang Lina sighed, her voice cleared up, "Zhu Chaoyang, what's going on in my house, don't others know about it and you don't?"

Zhu Chaoyang was silent, he didn't know how to comfort him, and he didn't know whether he should comfort him or not.

"You're still smart. You don't earn much from teaching but you are reliable. This year, several companies in the development zone have collapsed, and the bank won't grant loans. Immediately, everyone will have to drink the northwest wind." Fang Lina let out a big mouthful of smoke.

Zhu Chaoyang could only sigh, it was Ye Chimin who pinched him a few times before he asked hesitantly if he wanted money.

Fang Lina giggled, "It's not that far, but I'm grateful if you can ask me."

Zhu Chaoyang blushed slightly, and twisted Xiaoye's palm with his backhand.

"His family has a big hole," he hung up the phone and explained to his wife, "There's no way one or two million yuan can be filled. Now his family only wants to settle part of the wages owed so that they can escape. They are all from the village."

"I know." Ye Chimin handed him the car keys.

"Just urging me to leave in such a hurry," Zhu Chaoyang put the key back on the coffee table, "Why don't you ask You Jingjing to call?"

"Her parents are over 60, and they can be released on medical parole." Ye Chimin glanced at him, and Zhu Chaoyang was convinced, "Honey, it's a pity that you are so smart and stay at home."

"Just tease me." Ye Chimin didn't bother to talk to him.

"Oh, by the way, what did you teach Beibei?" Zhu Chaoyang asked curiously.

"I won't tell you, I won't tell you," Ye Chimin pushed him out, "Hurry up, hurry up, I'm going to take your car to Aunt Jane's house, she rarely has a rest today."

Aunt Jian was the president of the Ning City Intermediate Court 15 years ago. She admired Zhu Chaoyang, a perseverant child in adversity. After she was transferred to the province, she once invited Zhou Chunhong and her son to visit her home. This is a divorced single workaholic , I understand the difficulties of single mothers very well. Zhou Chunhong hadn't reunited with Lao Ma at that time, so she walked around a few times. Later, Zhou remarried. Dean Jian might feel disappointed, and Zhu Chaoyang's attitude when he called was also cold.

Ye Chimin still has a way, she always has a way, everyone likes her.

"What is this?" He glanced at the paper bag on his wife's lap that smelled of wheat.

"Oatmeal bars, I made two flavors today, and grandma said they are delicious." Ye Chimin was very proud.

"Did you bring Beibei's report card?" He asked again.

"I have brought it, and I still have the Trinity Oral Certificate." Ye Chimin replied without thinking.

Holding the steering wheel in his hand, Zhu Chaoyang pondered for a long time, "Xiao Min, anyway, you have nothing to do now, go and learn to drive."

Ye Chimin was very surprised, "Didn't you let me learn, saying that my vestibular development is not good, and my hands and feet are uncoordinated..." "I'm just kidding you," Zhu Chaoyang raised the corner of his mouth, "Is it because you don't know what to do?" Love is on duty, tell me how much more work I did for you at that time."

Ye Chimin also laughed, "You've already got your money back with interest."

Zhu Chaoyang grabbed her hand and put it on his lap, and did not refute it.

When Beibei came back at night, he looked happy. He said that the deputy squad leader was honest now and promised not to fight against him again, but Ye Chimin encountered a problem.

A mother in the family committee has a very good family background. She has been used to being surrounded by stars since she was a child. She also likes to show off in the activities of the family committee. The next stumbling block for Ye Chimin is that Ye Chimin was an expert in it when he was in junior high school. After calmly resolving several conflicts, the parent actually persuaded a few mothers to push Ye Chimin out of the family committee. Ye Chimin was very annoyed that the height directly affected children's education.

"I don't care about this family-breaking committee at all, I just don't want the children to think that mother is easy to bully." She scooped the ice cream in the cup one by one, as if venting her anger in this way.

Zhu Chaoyang was sitting opposite her, with a permissive smile on his face. He knew that his wife had told him about this matter, and he had already found a solution.

"Wait, I want her to look good at the sports meeting tomorrow." Ye Chimin stuffed a spoonful into his mouth.

In Zhu Chaoyang's eyes, that proud little peacock from back then has returned. He stared at her face obsessively, and the light from before returned to her eyes. The whole person is illuminated.

"What do you think I'm doing?" Seeing him staring blankly at her, Ye Chimin thought that ice cream had been rubbed on her face, she looked at the glass and found nothing, and shook her hand in front of him, "Hey, wake up."

Zhu Chaoyang went back to the second year of junior high school again, in that hot and restless summer, Ye Chimin's ponytail was always dangling in front of him, making his teeth itch and upset, and sometimes he dreamed... .. At first he thought it was because he hated her too much, but after that incident happened, she became honest all of a sudden, and he also began to realize that this was not a pervert, but a beautiful girl.

But so what, Ye Chimin was too far away from him at that time, farther than Faraday Descartes,

"I was thinking, there is only one Ye Chimin in the world." He held her hand and pressed it to his face.

"There is only one Zhu Chaoyang." Ye Chimin smiled softly, letting him hold her hand.

There was a lot involved in the case of jumping from a building in the development zone. Yang Rui has learned his lesson now, he should take care of it, and all the things he should not be in charge of should be taken out and let the economic investigation department take charge. He is an emotionless crime-solving machine, and he carried beer at night After the roast chicken came home, his wife Xiaoxue brought buns from the work unit, and the couple put the plastic bags on the dining table, like a picnic.

Yang Rui opened the bottle and took a big sip, then started to tear the oily roast chicken, "Yanyan, will you come back to sleep tonight?" he asked his wife.

Xiaoxue shook her head, "Grandpa picked up English class today on Thursday."

"English on Thursday, Go on Wednesday, right?" Yang Rui wanted to show that he knew his son very well, but his wife rolled his eyes, "Wednesday is Taekwondo, when did you learn Go again? You,... ..I don't expect anything from you anyway." She also opened a bottle of beer and just got a glass for herself.

Yang Rui laughed dryly, "I'm too embarrassed to ask you when you say that." While chatting in the team today, someone asked which primary school the captain's family Yanyan was in, and he heard from his wife that his grandfather would usually pick him up, so it must be in Nanjing near his father's home. Er Xiao, "Isn't it?"

"Peace one." The wife was very proud.

"What!" Yang Rui's face changed drastically, "Can I transfer to another school?"

"Okay why?" The wife was stunned.

Yang Rui thought to himself, how can I tell you this, I can't say it... "Didn't I tell you not to go to that school!" He scowled.

The wife threw the chopsticks, "Yang Rui, what am I busy with in a day? How much have you managed this family? The child's affairs are all entrusted by my parents, and his grandparents also agreed... You know peace How many people squeezed their heads in a small group and couldn't get in, now you say you want to transfer to another school? Are you crazy, Yang Rui, is the head teacher your ex-girlfriend?"

Xiaoxue didn't eat anymore, and went back to the bedroom to sulk, Yang Rui also felt that he was a bit too much, so he slumped over to coax her, and brought a big paper bag to her feet.

"Okay, okay, ancestor, I'm afraid of you."

"What is this?" Xiaoxue asked coyly, unable to resist the woman's curiosity after all.

"I'll buy you a bag after the bonus." Yang Rui put the paper box in front of her, "Open it."

"Hey, it's from Chanel." Xiaoxue smiled immediately, it wasn't because the bag was expensive, and it wasn't because she couldn't afford it, but it was the first time she had received a decent gift since the two met.

"How can there be so many bonuses before the end of the year, you have private money." Xiaoxue stood in front of the full-length mirror and looked back and forth, feeling better all of a sudden.

"Uh..." "Okay, keep it."

Afterwards, Yang Rui heard that there was a child named Zhu Jiabei who was outstanding in Class [-], Grade [-] of Heping Primary School, and his son Yang Yan was in Class [-]. It would be good to get my son away after the next year, and since there was a new case at hand, I put it aside.

In the blink of an eye, he was in the fifth grade. Zhu Chaoyang kept his word and attended every parent-teacher meeting on time. Unfortunately, now the parent-teacher meeting is held for parents alone. The children are playing on the playground. He misses sitting in the front when he was a child. , listening to the teacher announce the grades, and then proudly greet the eyes of all the parents behind him, only this time he is full of confidence, only this time, he will feel that he is great.

Beibei is also very good. He is No. 1 in every exam. He has passed CET-[-] in piano, CET-[-] in general English, and holding his breath for a minute and a half in swimming is also his pride.

Ye Chimin was not in a good mood at this time. Since the fourth grade, she had enrolled her baby in private remedial classes, but the grades were still not satisfactory. Now that she was only in the fifth grade, Ye Chimin was quite a headache. She regressed in the second year of high school because of illness.. ....She has always felt that boys are like fathers, and girls should be like mothers. If the baby's academic performance is not good enough, it is because her genetics are not good enough.

Zhu Chaoyang didn't care, "The beauty of a family can only be concentrated on one person, besides, girls who are too good will sooner or later belong to someone else's family, just like you, no matter how good they are, they will belong to our old Zhu family."

Ye Chimin felt a pain in her heart at that time. She heard the baby ask grandma why other children had grandparents, but she didn't. Zhou Chunhong said that grandpa and grandma left early, and now they are blessing the baby in heaven.

That mother was sitting two desks away, and she never dared to provoke Ye Chimin anymore. The day of the sports meeting was hot and dry, and she said a few words to her daughter as usual, but her always docile daughter suddenly blew up and cried Said that she cared about everything, never considered her feelings, was not a qualified mother, let her lose face in front of everyone, and quit the family committee in embarrassment the next day.

So what if she knows that I, Ye Chimin, instigated it?she thought coldly.

She just sat down and wandered away, until Yang Yan's mother came late again.

"I'm sorry, I couldn't find a parking space today." She sat on the seat Ye Chimin vacated for her, showing a mischievous smile.

Ye Chimin pushed a pack of cranberry biscuits to her, "Didn't eat again."

"How do you know?" Yang Rui's wife's eyes lit up, "Then I'll be impolite. Isn't this a population statistic? I've been hungry since noon."

After the parent meeting was over, Yang Rui's wife put the empty paper bag in the bag, and the two of them led the baby and Yang Yan to the community where Zhu's family lived. As usual, Yang Yan sent the baby to the door of the house, and then left reluctantly with his mother. Baby had piano lessons tonight, and Beibei was taken to a party by Zhu Chaoyang, and called to say that he would not go home for dinner.

The two children stayed at school for a day, and they still have endless things to say. Ye Chimin heard them talking about a recently released animated film. Before she had time to take her baby Beibei to watch, they already knew about it. Since then, children no longer perceive the world through their parents, but leave their parents and directly connect with the outside environment, which makes her feel lost.

"I really envy children. There are countless possibilities in the future," Yang Rui's wife sighed from the bottom of her heart. "Looking back, I think about my whole life. I went to school when I was at school age, went on blind dates when I was married, and had children when I was born. Do what you have to do, never do what you want to do.”

Is she talking about me?Ye Chimin is sensitive to the overtones. She has known her for several years, but she still doesn't like the eyes of Yang Rui's wife. She doesn't like those eyes. They are the eyes of the police officer's hat. They are bright and open, with a clear conscience, just like her father Ye Jun.

"I'm just the opposite of you," Ye Chimin smiled, "I've been doing what I want to do, staying at home every day, and being useless to society except taking care of children."

"I can't say that, besides, no matter how hard I go to work, no matter how long I work, I still have to take care of my children. Being a mother is my duty, but I can't be divided into two halves by myself, just like the parents' meeting. The one in my family has never shown up." , but he is a man, no one blames him, as if the child was born by me alone." Yang Rui's wife smiled.

"I think the child's grandpa often comes to pick him up."

"I can't help it. His grandpa has high blood pressure. I don't want to make the old man work hard. My father has bad legs."

Ye Chimin's heart ached again, and she forced a smile and said that if she didn't have time to pick up the children, she could help. Yang Yan's mother immediately said no, no, your two children are busy enough.

Xiaoxue took a deep breath to cheer herself up: "I am the mother of the child, and this is what I should do. Next year, I will tell the leader to transfer me to the archives room, so I can be lighter, Xiaoye, you have a really good personality."

"I used to have a bad personality. I had a breakdown once, and then I thought about everything. For the sake of the children and their father, I have to live well," Ye Chimin let out a deep breath, as if saying to himself, as if saying to himself Yang Yan's mother said.

Xiaoxue shook her hand to express comfort, "It's also the strength he gave you, right."

Ye Chimin nodded, "That's right... I haven't worked a day since I graduated, he is the one who supports me, all the real estate is in my name, and he never said 'I earn everything you eat and wear In this case, I often tell the children that my mother can't go out to work to take better care of the family. I think this is one of the reasons why I can stay at home for more than ten years."

Yang Rui's wife was deeply moved, "It's great that you depend on him materially, and he depends on you spiritually. Many couples never reach this level in their lifetime."

"Isn't your husband also nice to you?" Ye Chimin's eyes fell on Xiaoxue's bag, which is a new Chanel bag, white pearl fish skin, stronger than sheepskin, very suitable for the hot-tempered Bai Xiaoxue.

Xiaoxue suddenly became shy, touching her purse with her little hand, "Who knows?...It's like being a widow if you don't see anyone every day."

Ye Chimin couldn't help laughing.

Zhu Chaoyang took his son crazy, and there was no one after eleven o'clock, so the baby took the opportunity to lie in the big bedroom, lying next to his mother and whispering.

"Mom, do you regret having us?"

"No, baby, why do you ask that?"

"Yang Yan's parents sometimes quarrel, and Yang Yan said it's because he's not good enough." Baby frowned and thought, "Mom and dad never quarrel or divorce, is it because Baby Beibei is very good?"

"Actually..." Ye Chimin couldn't answer for a while, she didn't know how to answer this simple and cruel question, and after a long time of turmoil, she came up with a suitable answer.

"Mom and Dad got together after careful consideration. All the things that should be considered were considered before marriage. We made sure that we would not quarrel, let alone divorce. That's why we have Baobao and Beibei."

"Understood, Mom and Dad are really smart." The baby smiled brightly and kissed her.

Yang Rui had a hard time getting off work today, and even made dinner when he got home. His wife joked that the sun was coming out from the west.

"Today is March [-]th, happy holiday." Yang Rui unskillfully shook the big spoon, and the dishes in it kept shaking.

"It's tiring every day. The baby's mother is a full-time wife. I'm really envious. It would be great when I can retire, but I will be old when I retire."

Yang Rui heard her mention the baby's mother more than once, saying that she has a good temper, good taste, patience, and everything is good, so she was not convinced. At this time, she heard that she was envious of her full-time job, and couldn't hold back anymore. He tapped the big spoon: "Full-time A wife is placing her happiness in life on a man's conscience, which is a risk."

"Baby's father is quite reliable, he is a professor," Xiaoxue snorted, "You always think of the worst in people."

"Professor?" Yang Rui raised his eyebrows, "Where is the professor?"

"He's from the Department of Mathematics of University Z, he's amazing! His family is twins, and the elder brother's brain is particularly keen on inheriting his father's genes, but the girl is average, but her mother used to study well, anyway, she is better than me, and our Yanyan is not bad. It’s not bad, it’s better than the top, the deficiency is more than the bottom.” Yang Rui’s wife kept talking, but Yang Rui’s heart sank.

"Tell me, his daughter is still at the same table as our son?" He managed to cut in.

"Yeah, I'll show you." Yang Rui's wife found the photo on her phone, "Look, how cute his daughter is."

Yang Rui looked at the pair of eyes that resembled Ye Chimin on the screen, and he didn't know what it was like.

Although the two children are twins, their personalities and looks are very different. The baby is gentle and easy-going, and his academic performance is not as good as that of his elder brother. That's it, that is, after the black-hearted Zhu Yongping abandoned their mother and son, his son became introverted. Now his grandson will not be like his father, so he will definitely be more promising than his father in the future.

Beibei easily passed the tenth level of the piano, and now he is practicing drums, and the baby is still stuck at the seventh level, but the teacher said that the baby is more emotional and suitable for creation in the future.

Zhu Chaoyang signed up his son for the National Mathematical Olympiad, and Liu Beibei, the deputy squad leader who had been competing with him, also participated. He knew Liu Beibei's father and had dinner together.

Beibei grew up day by day, her eyes became more and more like her father's, with long and thick eyelashes, deep eyes, and she was extraordinarily focused when looking at people.When Zhu Chaoyang is with his son, he feels very strange. Sometimes it seems that he is talking to his childhood self, and sometimes he feels that this kid is so naive.

Even Zhou Chunhong had heard about the Fang family's affairs, but Fang Jianping was fairly upright, and You Jingjing's affairs were handled beautifully. He first paid the money in his own hands to the You family, and then transferred it to a foreign shell company. The money will be his. Fang Lina's mother has already gone to Vancouver first. Zhou Chunhong means that she wants to visit. After all, she was kind to their mother and son at the beginning. It is no use for others to sympathize with the orphans and widows if Fang Jianping did not act out of righteousness.

Zhou Chunhong gave Zhu Chaoyang a private house of 50 yuan, but he pushed it back, saying that he had it.Zhou Chunhong hesitated to speak, but Zhu Chaoyang understood what she meant. She hoped that Fang Jianping would not disclose the matter of property distribution to anyone.

Zhu Chaoyang didn't want to either, but he didn't want to have anything to do with the Fang family at this time, and wanted to cover it up.

"Am I too indifferent?" At night, he asked Ye Chimin.

Ye Chimin was silent for a while, "I'll go to Ning City to visit the teacher in a few days, and ask Fang Lina out by the way."

"A skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and a bankrupt boss is also incomparable to office workers." Zhu Chaoyang comforted her and comforted himself.

At this year's New Year's Gala, the children carefully prepared the program. Yang Rui sat in the audience feeling distraught, and Zhu Chaoyang and Ye Chimin were two rows away. The auditorium was too hot, and his palms were constantly sweating.

Xiaoxue also noticed her husband's abnormality, "What's the matter?" She asked in a low voice.

"How long will it be over?" Yang Rui frowned, and his eyes were fixed on Yang Yan and Zhu Aibao in the chorus on stage.

It's so similar, those eyes, the innocent and affectionate eyes, the innocent face...

"Soon." Xiaoxue sighed and ignored him.

After watching the performance under pressure, Yang Rui was the first to rush to the backstage, pulling his son who hadn’t changed his white shirt, and wanted to leave. Yang Yan didn’t know why, but he followed him tamely. Dad finally came to the school to watch his performance. Very contented.

There was a large area of ​​cars parked at the door, and they found their car with great difficulty. Just as they were about to open the door, Bao Bao chased him from behind out of breath, "Yang Yan, this is my gift for you!" Holding an exquisitely packaged box, his eyes were shining brightly.

Yang Yan immediately went up to meet him, but was roughly pushed away by Yang Rui,

"Father?" Yang Yan was stunned, not understanding why his father behaved like this.

The baby was also stunned, "Auntie?" She looked at Xiaoxue as if asking for help, Xiaoxue just threw the bag into the car when she saw this scene, she was on fire, and just about to step forward to stop it, Yang Rui raised her arms and made a resistance "Yanyan doesn't want your gift, neither do you..."

At this moment, a red Nissan in front reversed. The female driver was in a hurry to pick up the child and didn't pay attention to the surrounding situation. The place where the baby was standing was a radar blind spot.It was swept under the wheel all at once.
