Yi Xiaoan had just come out of the shower when his roommate Grace said that there was a missed call, and they came back late after having supper yesterday, plus today is Saturday, so Yi Xiaoan also slept in.

Her mobile phone was placed on the dining table on the first floor, and Grace told her that she had just missed a call as soon as she got there.

The use of WeChat in the United States is far inferior to that in China. Most of the communication methods still choose to send text messages and make calls directly.

Yi Xiaoan thought that Iris might be looking for her for something, so she went to the dining table and picked up her mobile phone, which was an unfamiliar domestic number.

In addition to Lin Wei and other classmates, she only told Ji Ying, Aunt Zhou, and Shu Yan her mobile phone number in the United States.

This is not Shu Yan's phone number.

Is it Aunt Ji Ying or Aunt Zhou looking for her?

Yi Xiaoan turned on the world time and took a look, it was 11:23 pm Beijing time.

……

Seeing her hesitating with her mobile phone, Grace asked her in English, "Did you get into any trouble?"

"No. About how long has my phone been ringing?" Yi Xiaoan asked.

Grace shrugged: "It's very short, only about ten seconds."

"OK."

Yi Xiaoan remembered that he had told Shu Yan before that if there was an urgent need to contact her, he could call her. At 11 o'clock in the middle of the night, the ringtone was more than ten seconds...

After Yi Xiaoan hesitated for a moment, he put the phone back on the dining table.She had just come out and hadn't had time to blow-dry her hair yet, so she was going upstairs to blow-dry her hair again.

Seeing that she had put down her phone again, Grace raised her eyebrows and said, "Are you sure your phone won't ring again? I have no obligation to remind you again."

Yi Xiaoan pursed her lips: "Thank you for your reminder just now, but I'm sure it won't ring again."

"By the way, Grace, I might visit the Field Museum later, do you want to go together?"

Grace was a little surprised that this roommate would invite her to go out together. After all, she had clearly rejected it twice before. What made her even more surprised was that when she first came, this girl didn't like talking or going out like her. In just two months But he already got his driver's license, and dared to drive out alone in his spare time.

Grace hesitated for a moment, and answered in a tone that seemed as polite as possible: "NO."

The girl seemed to be expecting it, and didn't care. She waved her hand and said OK, then went upstairs by herself.

On the other side of the ocean, the entrance of a KTV with neon lights in City D.Wu Tianzhou looked at Shu Yan, who was squatting on the ground as if in pain, and completely without a CEO look. The cold wind whistled past his ears, staring at the faint screen light on his mobile phone and said loudly:

"Did you dial the wrong number? Are you sure you remember the long list correctly?"

"That's right." Shu Yan squatted on the ground, dragging the hem of the expensive windbreaker on the concrete road, her eyes hurt from the wind, and the stamina of alcohol rushed into her brain, making her almost unable to see the number she entered.

"I remember correctly." Shu Yan repeated again.

"Then you fight again, how can you catch up with such a short fight?"

"No more beatings" Shu Yan stood up slowly from the ground, Wu Tianzhou wanted to reach out to help her, but Shu Yan pushed her away: "No more beatings."

She did seem to be drunk, with a tinge of red at the end of her eyes, as if she had cried, but at this moment, there was clearly a smiling expression on her face:

"She said she wanted to live independently, how could she keep bothering her. That's it."

Shu Yan returned the phone to Wu Tianzhou. The hotel she lived in was indeed not far from the place to eat. It was also a five-star hotel. The two of them walked forward for less than 10 minutes. At the entrance of the hotel, seeing that Shuyan Road could not walk straight, and her mobile phone was out of battery, she was a little worried:

"Why don't you go back to my house tonight and deal with it all night?"

Shu Yan stopped in her tracks, raised her eyes and took a deep look at Wu Tianzhou, as if examining him.

Wu Tianzhou got angry and said: "It's not what you think, I see how much you drink, I'm afraid something will happen to you in the hotel, my three-story villa has eight bedrooms, is it possible that my wife can still share the same bed with you? "

"No, go" Shu Yan said word by word seriously.

"……"Fine.Wu Tianzhou felt like he was dreaming back to high school for a moment, as if since Shu Yan became Mr. Shu, he rarely saw her so vivid and real when meeting her.

When the two walked to the hotel door, Wu Tianzhou asked Shuyan if she still remembered the room number and if she still had the room card.

Shu Yan was stunned for a moment, then slowly reached into the bag and fumbled for a long time. After a while, she took out the room card. She slipped her hand and almost dropped the room card on the ground.

Wu Tianzhou frowned, and subconsciously helped to pick it up, fearing that she might lose it, he took the room card in his hand: "Let's go, 18th floor."

Shu Yan stood where she was, her eyes were red, the tip of her nose was also red from the wind, her cheeks were probably red from the effect of alcohol, her eyes were a little slow, she paused for two seconds and looked at the room card in Wu Tianzhou's hand :

"What are you doing with my room card?"

Rao's face was already like this, Shu Yan raised her eyebrows, and the tone of the question still made people shudder. Is she usually like this in the company without anger?

Wu Tianzhou didn't want to argue with the drunk: "I'm afraid you won't be able to enter the room and make a fool of yourself outside. What will I do with your room card...I'll send you up."

"Aren't you afraid of being misunderstood by others?" Shu Yan had indeed drunk too much, and broke up with Wu Tianzhou even when she couldn't speak clearly.

Wu Tianzhou put a question mark on his head, and looked around. There were not many people in the hotel lobby, and this was City D. Shu Yan didn't know many people here. Wu Tianzhou was even angrier:

"Shu Yan, please be sober. This is city D, not your city A. I'm not afraid of misunderstanding. Are you afraid of a bird?"

"I'm not afraid of birds."

"I'm afraid of peacocks. I'm afraid of white peacocks." Shu Yan muttered to herself.

... Something is wrong.

Before Wu Tianzhou could speak again, Shu Yan stretched out her hand and accurately pulled the room card out of her hand with two fingers: "Your behavior can easily cause misunderstandings by those who care about it. Don't do this in the future, you know?"

"???"

After Shu Yan finished speaking, she seemed to regard her as someone, and her red eyes became sharper, as if she was speaking to Wu Tianzhou, or to herself:

"Anyway, I will never bring any woman home again."

The difficulty of the midterm exam in the university is not high. Yi Xiaoan's original English level is close to that of a native speaker. Coupled with her hardworking personality and incomparable talent, not only did she get an A+ grade in the course exam, her painting Soon he was selected by the professor to participate in some local art exhibitions.

The professor heard that she had applied for the 2+2 two-year school system, so he called Yi Xiaoan to the office alone to ask why.

The number of international students is heavy, and there is no shortage of inter-school exchanges and intermediary issues of some institutions. The 2+2 school system is actually not as formal as the four-year school system, and the score line is much lower than the normal full-teaching. Basically, it is for those who fail to pass the exam. Prepared by the students of the whole school.

At first the professor thought that Yi Xiaoan was one of these students, but when he saw Yi Xiaoan's results after the exam, he couldn't bear to let this talented girl leave.

"Is it the tuition fee? Your scholarship is enough to support you to study abroad for four years. Your works can now be sold for a lot of money." The American professor took a puff of cigarette, sat on the sofa and said to him asked the students.

Yi Xiaoan shook his head: "It's not a question of fees. I applied for the 2+2 school system before, because I thought that accepting the common education of China and the West can broaden my horizons, experience more different concepts, and achieve eclecticism and accumulate strengths to make up for weaknesses."

The old professor nodded: "I completely agree with what you said about being eclectic and broadening your horizons. I also admit that the level of Chinese oil painting art is developing at an astonishing speed."

"But Ann, you have to know that if you plan to treat an art as your life's love and career, two years is still too short."

The blue eyes of the old professor behind the glasses show a kind of erudition and wisdom. There is a very famous painting with a history hanging on the wall of his private office. Century, highlighting the inheritance of the art of oil painting for centuries.

It is not the dream of any student who enters this school to spend his whole life exploring his love of art.

Just like what the professor said, two years is indeed too short...

Yi Xiaoan lowered his head slightly, and the professor continued: "I can see that you are a girl with excellent talent and hard work, and your use of colors is always surprising and unique."

The old professor took out a form from the table and handed it to Yi Xiaoan: "This is the transfer application form for international students. You have passed the midterm exam and are recommended by three professors with real names. You can have the transfer form." A four-year opportunity."

The form was held in the hands of the professor, as if adding an invisible force.

"Don't answer me now, you have a month to think about it."

"Ann, Towering genius disdain beaten path. It seeks region shother to unexplored."

Yi Xiaoan held the application form tightly in his hand, bowed solemnly to the professor to express his gratitude, and walked out.

The love atmosphere in foreign countries is relatively more open and free. There are naturally no shortage of confessors for single oriental beauties like Yi Xiaoan. There are men and women from any country.

Among them, when a boy confesses to Yi Xiaoan, he will always seriously refuse it, and when a girl confesses, he will always refuse it tactfully.

Among them, there is a little Japanese girl who majors in fashion design and Iris is a neighbor. At first, we only met each other at a party. Later, the Japanese girl often asked Iris about their activity itinerary, and even went to the small class. class.

These two Asian girls opened a new door to Iris's life. Ann is like a fairy in oriental mythology, especially the peacock dance she danced in a dress that day. She has always believed that there are gods in China. However, Yi Xiaoan's appearance made her believe in this legend even more.

Japanese girls are also a typical Japanese kawaii look, with a ball head tied high, a small figure always wears short sportswear, the whole person is lively and cute, especially her voice, Iris also believes I learned that Japanese girls know magic.

They got along happily like this for a month, until the Japanese girl plucked up the courage to express her love to Yi Xiaoan in front of Iris with the biscuits she made herself.

When Iris yelled "I shouldn't be in the car, I should be under the car", Yi Xiao'an still politely rejected the Japanese girl.

The little girl's face was flushed, and she mustered up the courage to ask Yi Xiaoan again if it was really impossible. Yi Xiaoan didn't hesitate, but still smiled politely, then shook her head unequivocally.

The little girl couldn't bear it, she stuffed the biscuit heavily into Yi Xiaoan's arms, turned her head and ran out, Iris wanted to chase, but was held back by Yi Xiaoan: "She shouldn't want to hear any comfort now, let her be quiet by herself." Be quiet."

Iris yelled ohno for a long time, while accusing Yi Xiaoan of being too ruthless, Yi Xiaoan shrugged: "Then what do you think of me, pretending to let her give her affection, and retreating after getting tired of it?"

"You haven't tried, so you promise that you won't fall in love with her?" Iris, who has romance engraved in her genes, is still trying to convince Yi Xiaoan.

She spoke Chinese, and the three words "falling in love with her" were exaggerated. Yi Xiaoan couldn't help but raised her lips, and there was inexplicable determination in her eyes: "No."

Yi Xiaoan put the box of exquisite biscuits on the table in front of the two of them, and it was definitely impossible to return it. Yi Xiaoan's eyes widened when he saw Iris, so he stretched out his hand and opened the box of biscuits.

Four rows of biscuits of different shapes are placed in the 16 grids, a row of flowers, a row of bears, a row of curled cookies, and finally a row of smiling face cookies.

The size of each piece is almost the same, with a naive smile, and the shiny white sugar dotted on the biscuits, which is not at all different from the crooked ones Yi Xiaoan ate half a year ago.

Yi Xiaoan's fingers stayed on the biscuit box for a while, looked up at Iris and said softly, "I have an appointment with the professor to look at the painting, so I'm leaving first."

"What about the biscuits?"

"you eat."

"Don't you eat any of it?"

Yi Xiaoan's eyes fell on the row of smiling faces again, as if his thoughts were disturbed: "Well, I don't really want to eat."

In the evening, Yi Xiaoan returned to the apartment, finished preparations for the next day's speech, and just after taking a shower, laying back on the bed seemed to have a good heart, and received a call from Lin Wei.

Yi Xiaoan answered the phone, Lin Wei's voice was a bit strange today, after exchanging pleasantries, Yi Xiaoan also realized that her ulterior motives were not in drinking, and said directly: "Speak directly."

"I'm in love."

Even though he basically guessed it, Yi Xiaoan was still a little curious, sat up straight and asked Lin Wei, saying that the other party was a French boy and a college classmate, not as straightforward as other classmates, but a shy type.The two met by accident on the first day Lin Wei arrived in France, and it took half a year before he dared to confess his love to her.

Lin Wei's face was full of joy, and it was inevitable that she would fall in love for the first time. After talking for a while, Yi Xiao'an told her: "No matter how much you like him, no matter how much romance he gives you, you must protect yourself in the relationship, whether it is psychological or not. It's still the body, okay?"

"Don't worry, I know, I, Lin Wei, have been taken advantage of by others."

"You are impatient now, don't ask me if you have anything to do in the future."

"Wrong, wrong, sister An, can I call your sister? Don't talk about me, how are you doing? Don't tell me that no one is chasing you."

Yi Xiao'an knew that he couldn't hide it from her, so he curled his lips together: "I have, but I refused."

"Why? Don't you like it?"

Yi Xiao'an wore a Bluetooth headset, did not look at the phone screen, looked up at the light on the ceiling in the room, and said in silence for a while:

"I don't want to fall in love yet."

Her voice was a bit subdued, and of course Lin Wei knew the reason, so she didn't ask any more, but suddenly remembered something, and asked, "By the way, Xiao An, I remember that Yan Yi wanted to buy the "Xingyu" job in the first half of the year. room?"

Yi Xiao'an didn't know why Lin Wei suddenly mentioned this: "Well, what's wrong?"

"Have you read the follow-up news? I follow a lot of official accounts, and today I suddenly squatted to follow-up."

Since Yi Xiao'an went abroad, she has intentionally closed all the official accounts related to Yan Yi that she was concerned about before, and the matter of this studio is related to Tan Yao... She even deliberately avoided paying attention to these.

"That Xingyu studio maliciously concealed the bidding price and tricked three companies including Yan Yi, British BYB and Tan Yao. It has been sued by Mr. Shu and Ke Shu. It lasted for less than two months, and now it's gone. declared bankruptcy."

She didn't take down the studio.

Yi Xiaoan thought.

"Is there anything to be surprised about?" Yi Xiao'an was a little puzzled.

"It's not Xiao'an. I read in the news that the CEO of Xingyu finally went to Yan Yi to sign the contract honestly. In the end, Yan Yi could turn against the general and win Xingyu at a very favorable price, but she didn't No. Don't you think that says something?"

"...Does it mean that Shu Yan is a good character?" Yi Xiaoan asked.

"...It's not a matter of bad character! I remember you said that after seeing that scene on your birthday, Mr. Shu explained that he was acting with Tan Yao for Xingyu to see?"

"Yeah." Yi Xiaoan replied sullenly.

"Then have you ever thought that Mr. Shu's ruthless attack on Xingyu directly made him lose a foothold in the circle, could it be because of anger, because anger indirectly caused you to suffer?" hurt?"

Yi Xiao'an originally wanted to refute that she would not, and that Shu Yan usually considers the company and the interests first when doing things, but thought that she did not take the opportunity to acquire Xingyu, it is indeed not the choice to maximize the benefits, after thinking about it, she could only shake her head:

"I don't know." Yi Xiaoan replied.

"Also, do you know that you still won the second prize for the last painting left in our Holly Competition?"

Yi Xiao'an used only one color for the whole painting and still won the second prize, which is a typical example of God chasing after him with a pot that day.

"Well, I know." Her contestant, the organizer notified Yu Yan, the former head teacher, and Yu Yan notified her.

"Then do you know that this painting was bought by Mr. Shu, or by way of auction?"

"?"

The ownership of the award-winning works of the Holly Competition belongs to the author himself first. If the author does not choose to take it back, these works will be displayed as a model, or the organizer will decide to participate in the art exhibition or touring exhibition.If someone wants to buy the painting during this process, the proceeds of the work will be donated back to the competition fund.

When Yu Yan asked Yi Xiaoan, Yi Xiaoan chose not to take it back.

"You... know?" Yi Xiaoan raised his eyebrows.

Lin Wei's voice came from the other end of the phone: "I know, because my mother went to pick up the paintings for me on the day the paintings were released. She knew Mr. Zhuang Yuan. My mother said that Mr. Zhuang Yuan picked out a few works and wanted to buy them back. There is that painting of yours."

"However, before Mr. Zhuang made a decision, a female president hurried over to take the call to buy the painting. My mother said that if others called her Mr. Shu, it could only be Shu Yan. Shu Yan and Mr. Zhuang bid for the auction." After three rounds, I finally bought your painting with five figures."

"Didn't you keep any of your paintings at home?" The implication of Lin Wei's words was that she was more curious about why Shu Yan would buy a work that Yi Xiao'an didn't do well.

Yi Xiaoan lowered his eyes, paused for a while and replied: "There are still at home."

"Oh—I don't know about the rest anyway, I just tell you what I know. I'm going to see the painting, I'll go to bed early."

Lin Wei hung up the phone, and Yi Xiaoan looked at the award-winning news that Yu Yan had sent her before. A meticulous painting always carries the author's words, and special works will always be seen when they are seen. You can remember what happened in the past.

It was a regret brought about because of her, and it was not pleasant.

So why did Shu Yan choose to buy this painting?

Yi Xiaoan put down his phone and sighed softly. This question just passed in his mind, just like the painting, it became an irrecoverable object in Yi Xiaoan's heart.

The meaning of what Lin Wei said today was actually both of them tacitly. She also asked Yi Xiao'an insincerely if she would stay single for two years and return to China after two years.

It's a pity that I didn't have time to tell her just now that the "two years" premise she just assumed in her mouth has changed.

Life is so amazing, you never know when something will happen that will change you.

Shu Yan had just fallen asleep when she received Ji Ying's call. She had already been in the company for a week and never went back to the Jingshan Mansion at night.

As soon as the phone was connected, there was Ji Ying's crying, and Shu Yan's heart sank suddenly: "Mom, don't cry, let's talk about something."

"Xiaoyan, your father fainted just now, and he can't wake up no matter how much he screams." Ji Ying cried intermittently, and Shu Yan sat up from the bed:

"Do you want to go to the first hospital in the city? Mom, don't panic, I will rush over there right away, don't waste time, see you at the hospital."

Ji Ying cried while agreeing to hang up the phone, Shu Yan turned on the light, changed clothes casually, grabbed a suit jacket and ran out.

In the middle of the night, there was a pale light in front of the operating room, and the three big characters "in operation——" were like a trial meeting of life and death, and the faint flickering of LEDs tugged at the hearts of everyone in the corridor.

Ji Ying was wearing a nightgown and a coat, and was crying non-stop on the chair in the corridor. Yi Qianqian's hair was not combed, and she supported Ji Ying to sit beside her, and comforted her with a crying voice:

"Auntie, don't cry, the doctor just said that it will be fine, it will be fine, woo woo woo~"

Shu Yan was leaning against the wall, she only wore a suspender in her suit jacket, and now she shivered belatedly outside the hospital corridor full of disinfectant.

After waiting for a few hours, the surgery opened. The chief surgeon took off his mask and walked up to Ji Ying in person: "Mrs. Ji, Mr. Shu is out of danger. We need to continue to observe the specific follow-up situation."

The words "out of danger" were like a pardon, Ji Ying's legs went limp, and she almost fainted.

Shu Yan knelt down and stroked her back: "Mom, it's okay, you go to rest first, I'm here, I'll always be here."

Shu Minglang has been suffering from high blood pressure for many years. A few days ago, he had symptoms of unfavorable movement. Time to arrange for treatment and this turned the crisis into safety.

Shu Yan asked Yi Qianqian to take Ji Ying to rest first, and followed Shu Minglang's secretary to run all night to complete the procedures. Shu Minglang lived in the VIP ward on the top floor, and the attending doctor was also a top domestic surgeon with friendship.

Shu Minglang's current condition is still unstable. Even if his life is out of danger, cerebral infarction has a high probability of causing paralysis or other serious sequelae.

Ji Ying cried all night, her eyes were almost swollen, and she came to Shu Yan just after dawn. She didn't usually care much about Shu Minglang's business affairs, but she vaguely knew that one of his projects was in a critical period. It cannot be known by the company, especially the people in the financing group.

"Ayan, Mom is here to take care of you. You should go to Dad's company to have a look first. You can go to Vice President Yang Heng. Your dad trusts him, so let's deal with today's matter first."

"I know Mom, there is someone guarding Dad's side, you should rest yourself."

After Shu Yan finished speaking, she drove directly to the headquarters of Mingyu Group to hold a meeting for Shu Minglang. It was not until the evening that some basic matters were basically dealt with, and she only announced to the public that Shu Minglang was unwell with a cold.

Some people in the company group who had speculated everywhere saw that Shu Yan had come, and couldn't decide whether Shu Minglang was seriously ill, whether he was trying to test everyone, or was preparing for his daughter to take over the group.Shu Minglang's daughter already had a very strong aura, and with the escort of Yang Heng, the one-day meeting ended without incident.

When Shu Yan returned to the hospital in the evening, an aunt whom she hadn't contacted very much was there, and Ji Ying's uncle called Shu Yan was also there. Shu Yan simply nodded and called Ji Ying out:

"What did you call them for?"

Ji Ying's eyes were still swollen, but she held back her tears and said pessimistically: "Your father's condition is unstable, and mother is afraid that suddenly even the last side will be..."

Ji Ying has always been timid and pessimistic. She used to cry for a long time worrying about getting a tetanus when her finger was cut by an iron cabinet.With such a big event this time, it is inevitable not to be more flustered.

At noon today, the attending doctor called Shu Yan again, telling her that Shu Minglang's condition is actually not bad, and with the best treatment and rehabilitation conditions, he can basically recover.

Shu Yan rubbed her forehead, she was a little dizzy from the 24-hour high-intensity continuous transfer, she hugged Ji Ying:

"Mom, no, Dr. Zeng told me that it will be fine."

"really?"

"Really, nothing will happen. Dad needs to rest. You can let them all go back later, and don't come if they haven't come."

Just as Shu Yan was about to turn around and enter the ward to help, she suddenly thought of something, and turned to ask Ji Ying, "Don't tell me you even informed Xiao An?"

Ji Ying raised her head and sniffed: "I want to inform you, but I think Xiao An will come back less in the future, so let's wait."

Shu Yan keenly caught the word "more" in her words: "Why is there less?"

"Study is so heavy, and it takes another four years. How can I have time?"

"What four years, isn't Yi Xiaoan's school a 2+2 two-year schooling system?"

Ji Ying raised her head, wondering if Shu Yan was overworked and forgot, and asked her in surprise:

"Xiao An applied to change the school system to four years in the United States, and it has been approved. Don't you know?"

The author has something to say: Shu Yan: I just passed out.

Thanks to the little angel who cast the rocket launcher: 2 in Chang'an;

Thanks to the little angel who threw the landmines: 2 for Hate Me;

Thanks to the little angel of irrigation nutrient solution: bey.20 bottles; cuteness is justice! 10 bottles of Narada; 421669694 bottles;
