After being dressed as cannon fodder, I just want to live

On the plane bound for Lake City.

Fang Bai glanced sideways at the person next to him, staring at the computer who was busy with work, his eyebrows furrowed from time to time, his expression was serious, no matter how he looked at it, he couldn't match the person who was drunk last night.

Then did she change her mind because of the drunken Ji Yuning, or because of Ji Yuning?

Fang Bai couldn't help thinking.

Think back to last night.

After Ji Yuning fell asleep, Fang Bai walked out of the bedroom lightly. Instead of going anywhere else, she turned around and walked into the bathroom.

After closing the door casually, Fang Bai threw the dirty clothes in the clothes basket into the washing machine.

During the laundry process, Fang Bai squatted in front of the washing machine, getting into trouble.

What she was struggling with was not whether to travel or not, but how to tell Hao Yingman.

In fact, when she said she was going home on the stairs, Ji Yuning asked her with bright eyes, "Go back to Lake City?" ', she changed her mind a bit.

But at that time, what she wanted was to bring Ji Yuning back to Hushi together. After all, she and Hao Yingman originally intended to go back to Hushi first, and then travel from Hushi.

But when Ji Yuning told her to go home with her, Fang Bai knew that her idea might not work.

What Ji Yuning wants is company.

What a person who lacks love since childhood longs for most.

When someone gives Ji Yuning this feeling, she will be dependent and in need.

According to Fang Bai's analysis of what has happened so far, it is because of this that Ji Yuning treats her like this.

Maybe when Mu Xuerou appears by Ji Yuning's side, Ji Yuning won't be so dependent on her, so she will have to wait until Mu Xuerou appears before living her life?

Fang Bai thought.

But soon Fang Bai discovered that her life was not like what she said in the afternoon without Ji Yuning. Instead, from the first day of wearing the book, her subsequent life was all about Ji Yuning.

Since Ji Yuning needs her, she has no reason to refuse.

It comes from love, from habit, from... the heart.

In fact, Fang Bai is not a defenseless person in front of Ji Yuning, but she disarms naturally when facing Ji Yuning, she is not someone who can be manipulated at will, and even more, she has never agreed to Ji Yuning's request A willingness to pay attention.

Fang Bai squatted until her feet felt a little numb, she stood up and leaned against the door.

After hesitating, the action he made was to click on Hao Yingman's profile picture and send out a shallow message: [In? ]

Hao Yingman replied quickly, as if looking at the chat box with her: [Not here. ]

Fang Bai: "..."

He hesitated to speak, because these two words added a little more.

But without waiting for her to struggle, Hao Yingman called her directly.

Fang Bai clicked on the connection, and couldn't help standing up straight.

At the beginning of the first sentence, Hao Yingman asked directly: "Do you want to say that you can't travel?"

Fang Bai was taken aback, "...um."

I couldn't help but asked in a low voice curiously: "How do you know?"

Hao Yingman smiled happily from the other side of the phone, "How should I say it?"

Hao Yingman snorted twice arrogantly, "Intuition, I've felt it since I saw Mr. Ji getting along with you. As expected, my sister's intuition is so accurate."

Fang Bai touched his nose, her intuition seemed inaccurate, so she didn't understand how Hao Yingman could tell.

Hao Yingman said: "Actually, when I knew that Mr. Ji came to you suddenly, and you didn't tell her about going on a trip, there was something I really wanted to tell you, but I didn't have the chance."

Fang Bai's eyelashes fluttered, "What are you talking about?"

Hao Yingman said: "It's good to do it yourself."

It's not derogatory, but the first time she saw Ji Yuning, she felt that Fang Bai would be eaten to death by the other party. A person with such a strong desire would not let Fang Bai go too far. Fang Bai's Everything is under her control.

Fang Bai didn't understand the four words that Hao Yingman said, just when she wanted to ask more, another woman's voice sounded from the phone, it was very soft, but Fang Bai still heard it.

"I'm done washing," said the woman.

Fang Bai blinked in disbelief: "Who is next to you?"

"No one," Hao Yingman said in a panicked voice, "the dog is barking."

Only a second later, Hao Yingman yelled in a low voice: "Fuck, you really bite your dog?"

Fang Bai raised his eyebrows, she listened silently.

After Hao Yingman finished calling, the woman asked Hao Yingman with a smile: "Is the ticket refunded?"

Hao Yingman should have covered the phone, Fang Bai couldn't hear it clearly, she always vaguely felt that the woman's voice sounded familiar.

"Retire! Don't bite me! Can't you see me on the phone?"

Hao Yingman yelled, it was the irritableness that Fang Bai had never seen before, and then there was a sudden sound of closing the door, Fang Bai heard Hao Yingman gasped and said: "I have something to do and I can't go, I just refunded my ticket before you sent the message, and I didn't know how to tell you, so you sent me a message."

Fang Bai smiled, what is this?Coincidentally?

"Who is it?" Fang Bai asked.

Don't even think about it, what Hao Yingman said was referring to that woman.

Just after she finished asking, there were several knocks on the door. Hao Yingman said, "I'll hang up when I have a chance to tell you later."

Hao Yingman said again: "Have a good rest with Mr. Ji~"

After saying good night at the end, he hung up the phone hastily.

The matter that made Fang Bai entangled for a few minutes was perfectly resolved in this way, and all her guilt for not going on the trip subsided a little. After all, Hao Yingman was the same, and they were both entangled in other things.

-

No matter what, Fang Bai has lived in Hushi for a long time, and now that she is approaching Hushi, she will inevitably feel sad and nervous like a wanderer returning home.

This emotion is especially evident in the momentary weightlessness of the landing of the plane, but they only come up with a spike and are blocked.

Fang Bai's hand was held by someone, the warm palm wrapped around her, the comfortable temperature made Fang Bai feel at ease.

She looked at Ji Yuning, who said softly, "Uncle Li is already at the airport."

"Okay." Fang Bai nodded, and then asked, "Why are you also called Uncle Li?"

In terms of seniority, her name is Uncle Li, so Ji Yuning should be called...

Ji Yuning raised her lips, "Then my name is Grandpa? Auntie agrees, but Uncle Li may not agree."

"..." Fang Bai fell silent.

On the way home, after Uncle Li exchanged a few words with Fang Bai, he drove seriously.

Speechless all the way.

Fang Bai's attention was all outside the window, the closer she got to the villa, and seeing the familiar streets and buildings, the sense of loss that was blocked in her heart slowly emerged, this time she was no longer nervous, but felt a long-lost kindness.

There was even an unknowing smile on his face.

Tian Ran's soft smile is like the breeze under the scorching sun, refreshing the heart and lungs.

Ji Yuning happened to bump into this scene, and the hand on the side of the leg couldn't help shrinking.

…finally.

She came back to her side.

When Fang Bai got out of the car, he saw Wu Mei smiling while wiping away tears, "Miss, you're back."

Wu Mei was crying with joy, the young lady was so kind to her, she suddenly disappeared for three years, during the days when she had no contact with her, she sometimes couldn't help but think about it, now seeing the real young lady, Wu Mei really couldn't help it.

Fang Bai's heart warmed, she stepped forward to hug Wu Mei, and asked softly, "Sister Wu, are you alright?"

Wu Mei's body froze, and she said, "Okay, okay."

After the hug was over, Wu Mei regained her composure. She looked at Fang Bai and said, "Miss, you are too skinny. There is no flesh on this face."

Fang Bai smiled: "Because it's been a long time since I ate the food you cooked, Miss Wu."

When Wu Mei heard this, she quickly said, "I figured out the time, and I already made the meal. It's what you and Xiao Ji like to eat, miss."

"Just right, Xiao Ning and I are both hungry." Fang Bai said.

While talking, Uncle Li had already taken out the luggage of the two of them from the back of the car. Seeing this, Wu Mei hurried forward to get it. After seeing Uncle Li come out with a globe, Wu Mei asked Fang Bai puzzled, "Miss , why is there a globe?"

Fang Bai glanced at Ji Yuning calmly. The latter had already left home. With her eyes bent, she took the globe and hugged it in her arms, explaining to Wu Mei: "It's for travel."

Wu Mei looked at the slightly rotating globe and didn't think much about it: "That's it."

After entering the house, Fang Bai put the globe on the cabinet in the living room, then turned around and went upstairs, and couldn't wait to open the door of the side bedroom. Everything about the cat was still intact, except that there was no trace of the cat's life.

No wonder she called Beibei's name downstairs and got no response.

Fang Bai turned his head to look at the person walking down the stairs, and asked, "Where's Beibei?"

Ji Yuning walked to Fang Bai's side, glanced into the room, and said softly, "Go to Beijing."

Fang Bai: "?"

She thought that Ji Yuning said that Beibei missed her and that Beibei would be in Hushi, but she told her that she was in Beijing?

Fang Bai closed the door and asked Ji Yuning: "Then when are you going to send Beibei back?"

Ji Yuning shook her head, "Bebe is not used to long distances."

After finishing speaking, Ji Yuning's eyes flickered, and the other party said in vain: "If Auntie wants to see Beibei, come back to Beijing with me the day after tomorrow."

Leave the day after tomorrow?

Fang Bai frowned, "The time is so fast, why don't you fly directly to Beijing?"

Ji Yuning said: "I think Auntie will go to see Mr. Fang."

That's why she bought a plane ticket back to Lake City with Fang Bai.

It is indeed necessary to meet, this is her original plan, and then go to other places after seeing Fang Maozhou, thinking about it, Ji Yuning's arrangement is quite in line with her idea.

Think of it as a trip to Beijing...

Fang Bai nodded, then suddenly turned his head and asked Ji Yuning, "Do you want to come with me?"

Ji Yuning's expression faded, and she said, "No, I still have a meeting."

"it is good."

Fang Bai took a few glances at Ji Yuning, feeling that she seemed a little depressed.

After eating, Fang Bai rested for a while, and asked Uncle Li to drive her to Fang's house.

Chatting with Wu Mei, I learned that Wu Mei and Uncle Li have been working at Fang's house for the past few years, and they will go back to the villa to clean up during intervals.Sometimes when Ji Yuning returns to Lake City, the two of them will go back and stay for a few days.

This is actually what she talked to Fang Maozhou at the beginning, asking Fang Maozhou to find a job for Wu Mei and Uncle Li after she left, but she didn't expect Fang Maozhou to let them go directly to Fang's house.

The scenery up the mountain was as beautiful as ever, Fang Bai looked out the window, and only looked away when the car stopped in front of Fang's villa.

Entering the yard, I saw Maozhou standing in front of the house from a distance, and Chang Suyao standing beside him.

Seeing Fang Bai, Fang Maozhou smiled and called, "Bai Bai."

Fang Bai's expression was calm, he didn't speak until he was in front of the two of them, "Dad."

After Fang Bai returned to China, he changed his name to Fang Maozhou's father, but that was all on the phone. Now when he heard his daughter calling her face to face, Fang Maozhou couldn't hide his excitement and responded, "Hey."

Nodding to Fang Maozhou, Fang Bai looked at Chang Suyao and called out in a flat voice, "Aunt Chang."

The two people present were stunned. After all these years, Fang Bai hadn't changed his mind. What happened today?

It's nothing, but on the way here, Fang Bai heard from Uncle Li that Chang Suyao took good care of him and Wu Mei for several years, and sometimes when Ji Yuning returned to Hushi, Chang Suyao would ask Uncle Li to call Ji Yuning to come Eat at home, but Ji Yuning refuses every time.

Fang Bai understood that Chang Suyao's attitude was due to her leaving.

Once there are no conflicts of interest, hostility can become friends.

Ji Yuning and Lu Xiaomei, she and Chang Suyao.

It was a happy event. Under Fang Maozhou's gaze, Chang Suyao quickly responded: "For nothing."

Fang Bai nodded.

Chang Suyao sneered and said, "It's hot outside, let's go home first."

After entering the house, Chang Suyao consciously made room for the father and daughter and said, "I'll make tea for you."

After speaking, he left the hall.

Fang Maozhou looked at Fang Bai, with a smile on his face, and asked, "Did you have fun in Nancheng? I heard that you made friends with that girl from the Hao family?"

When Fang Bai returned to Nancheng, Fang Maozhou wanted to go to Nancheng to meet Fang Bai after hearing this, but Fang Bai stopped him until he heard that Fang Bai would return to Hushi.

However, during the period, Fang Maozhou would call Fang Bai from time to time to find something to chat with. Even if he hadn't seen him for a few years, Fang Bai didn't feel strange to Fang Maozhou.

She answered naturally: "Well, Yingman and I have known each other for a long time."

Fang Maozhou gave a heavy hum, and continued to ask: "Dad, did you hear that the girl is working with Xiao Ji?"

Hearing Ji Yuning, Fang Bai's eyes fluctuated, but it was not obvious. He nodded and said, "Yes."

Fang Maozhou pondered for a few seconds and then suddenly sighed: "Xiao Ji is doing well."

Then Fang Maozhou looked at Fang Bai and asked in a low voice, "She came back with you, right? Why didn't she come?"

After several phone calls, Fang Maozhou already knew that Ji Yuning had found Fang Bai.

Fang Bai replied in Ji Yuning's words: "There is a meeting."

Fang Maozhou rested his hands on his lap, twirling the jade wrench on his thumb with his fingers, and sighed involuntarily, "Oh."

Fang Bai squinted his eyes, wondering why Fang Maozhou was so sentimental.

Fang Maozhou said to himself: "I guess I just don't want to come except for meetings."

Although he didn't know why Fang Maozhou said that, Fang Bai defended subconsciously: "Xiao Ning is really busy, even busy with work on the road."

Fang Vernacular paused, and asked: "But...why do you say that?"

Fang Maozhou looked at Fang Bai, stood up after more than ten seconds of silence, "Follow me."

Fang Bai pursed his lips and paused, and followed Fang Maozhou upstairs a few seconds later.

Front of the original master bedroom.

Fang Maozhou pointed to the door and said, "Open it and have a look."

"What's wrong with my room?" Fang Bai said, twisting the doorknob.

After pushing open the door, Fang Bai was taken aback when he saw the scene inside.

There are many gift boxes neatly placed on the ground, and at a glance, there are about thirty or so.

"...This is?" Fang Bai looked at Fang Maozhou.

Fang Maozhou looked at them and said in a deep voice, "They were all sent by Xiao Ji."

Fang Bai's eyelids twitched, he didn't understand why.

"From the day you left, Xiao Ji would come to my house every day and ask me where I wanted you to go. After going to Beijing, Xiao Ji would come back almost every two months and ask me about your news."

Fang Maozhou said: "In addition to bringing gifts every time I come, she will also ask her assistant to send some on some holidays. Dad just put these in your room, and gradually piled up so much."

Fang Bai walked to the side holding the gift box, and slowly stroked it with his white fingertips.

Fang Maozhou stood aside, "At the beginning, Suyao said that Xiao Ji was just putting on airs, but after a long time, she not only stopped talking about Xiao Ji, but sometimes stood by Xiao Ji's side and used me to talk, but Dad agreed. You didn't tell anyone, you kept your mouth shut all the time, not even Lao Chen."

Fang Maozhou couldn't get a response from Fang Bai, so he said to himself: "Although Dad didn't know what kind of conflict you had with Xiao Ji and asked you to leave for such a long time, I don't think Xiao Ji did it on purpose. messed with you."

During the three years of unshakable visits, Fang Maozhou almost let go of his mouth a few times, but the promise to Fang Bai was more important, so he could only ruthlessly say that he didn't know.

Fang Maozhou looked at Fang Bai, saw that she lowered her eyebrows and didn't know what she was thinking, maybe it was to make up for Ji Yuning, Fang Maozhou cleared his throat and said:

"Dad thinks that Xiao Ji cares about you very much."

The author has something to say:

Xiao Ji: Is this how the father-in-law is settled?

Aunt Fang: ...
