The blood all over his body seemed to rush to the top of his head in an instant, and Qin Mingzhu felt that he had become an immobile tree, a stiff stone.He watched Yan Jiayu turn and leave, watched the figure disappear behind the glass door, and then suddenly came back to his senses.

With a bang, the blue drink on the table was overturned, and bobo flowed down the edge of the table.

Qin Mingzhu couldn't take care of it, and quickly chased him out.

How could he be so hateful?

How can he be so vicious?

He clearly knew what Yan Jiayu was most concerned about, and he clearly noticed that every time Yan Jiayu walked, she tried to keep her back as straight as possible, trying not to let others see her flaws.

The injured leg not only represents a defect, it represents that Yan Jiayu will never be able to walk, it is also the shadow of the kidnapping case.

Although the elders in the family kept silent about this matter, Qin Mingzhu knew that it must have been a terrible and terrible experience. Yan Jiayu's legs were originally intact, and it was only after the kidnapping that...

He actually said something like this...

Even if it was a stranger, he shouldn't criticize him like this, let alone that person was Yan Jiayu.

"Jia..." Qin Mingzhu caught up with the young man who left, and he stood in front of them, trembling with shame, trying to say something, but stuttering to the point that it was difficult for him to say a single word.

Yan Jiayu lowered her eyes slightly, her clear eyes calmly stared at the person in front of her, "It's okay, I understand."

After hearing these six words, Qin Mingzhu felt even more ashamed, and the tip of his nose felt sour instantly. He shook his head frantically, "No... no, I didn't really mean to say such things, brother Jiayu, I'm sorry, you trust me, I'm really...sorry, I-they asked me...sorry..."

He was so confused that he didn't know what he was talking about until the end.

There were more and more people watching around, Yan Jiayu looked to the side, frowned slightly, raised her hand to protect Qin Mingzhu's shoulder, "Mingzhu, let's go back first."

Qin Mingzhu also knew that it was embarrassing to be like this, so she lowered her head and followed Yan Jiayu into the car.

Along the way, he was thinking about how to organize his words, to apologize and explain to Yan Jiayu, but he was the only one who got off the bus.

"I just received a message that I have to go back to the company to deal with some matters, can you go home first?" Yan Jiayu handed her mobile phone to Qin Mingzhu to see, it was indeed a business text message.

Qin Mingzhu stood by the car door in a daze, and asked after a while, "Then when will you come back?"

"Come back when you're done." Yan Jiayu handed the small gift bag to Qin Mingzhu, which contained pastries from Qin Mingzhu's favorite pastry shop.

This shop is booming, no matter what kind of people go to buy it, they have to line up honestly to buy it.Qin Mingzhu's father once wanted to buy it at a high price and give it to his son as a gift, but failed.

—

The person who said he would return after he was busy did not return for a long time, Qin Mingzhu did not dare to call to ask, and even did not dare to send a text message.He was afraid that Yan Jiayu would not answer his calls or text messages, and he was even more afraid that the other party would tell him not to contact him again.

Yan Shi established a large-scale branch company in Nancheng a few years ago, and let Yan Jiayu take care of it completely two years ago.Yan Jiayu has her own residence, and she lives in Su Yuan until now because Qin Mingzhu's grandmother is reluctant to let her go.

What if Yan Jiayu was completely angry with him, and even Su Yuan never came back?

At a loss, Qin Mingzhu begged in front of his grandmother, but he didn't dare to ask his grandmother to call Yan Jiayu to come back, just like a puppy, he kept circling in front of his grandmother.

But the elders who watched him grow up couldn't detect any problems, but in just a few words, Qin Mingzhu's thoughts were revealed, and he knew the ins and outs.

Knowing that Qin Mingzhu said such hurtful words, the grandmother turned cold in front of Qin Mingzhu for the first time, "You! You little bastard! I think it's best if Jiayu ignores you."

These words made Qin Mingzhu's eyes turn red on the spot, and he lowered his head in shame.

"No matter how naughty you were when you were young, I would not bear to punish you, but it is impossible not to punish you today. You are really spoiled, and you don't know what to say or what to say? Go out and stand by yourself until you know everything. If you make a mistake, come in again."

The spring day in Nancheng is continuous rain, ticking on the new leaves.Qin Mingzhu stood under the blue tiles, biting her little finger, and did not return to the room until her legs were numb.For the first time, he hoped that his grandmother would beat him up, and when he hurt, he would be able to feel Yan Jiayu's pain.

While thinking wildly, the sound of the cane hitting the ground reached his ears.

Qin Mingzhu raised her head to look at the sound in an instant, and it was Yan Jiayu who came.The first reaction at that moment was to hide, he felt ashamed to see the other party.

At the moment of panic, Yan Jiayu walked over.

"How long have you been standing?"

Qin Mingzhu saw Yan Jiayu's cane and Yan Jiayu's legs.

The legs wrapped under the trousers looked straight and slender. If those legs hadn't been injured so badly, Brother Jiayu must be even better than now, although he is already very good now.

Qin Mingzhu shook her head slowly after a while, her voice was like a mosquito, "I don't know."

Yan Jiayu's soft sigh seemed to be heard above his head, and immediately he felt his head being touched, "I'll go tell my grandmother, wait for me." After a pause, "Don't bite your hand again."

It was only later that Qin Mingzhu realized that her grandmother had probably played a cruel trick. Her old man got angry and ordered him to stand as a punishment, and then a soft-hearted servant informed Yan Jiayu.

After going back that day, Qin Mingzhu apologized to Yan Jiayu again, but he subconsciously didn't talk about his friend.In addition, he had red and swollen eyelids, and he slept in the same bed as Yan Jiayu with a stern face.

It seemed that only when he slept in Yan Jiayu's arms could he feel safe, and felt that he had really redeemed this relationship, that Yan Jiayu had really forgiven him.

But when he woke up in the middle of the night, the incomparable sense of guilt still swept through his body, and he hid himself in the closet.

Qin Mingzhu's habit of hiding in the closet was developed when she was a child.

He once saw his parents quarreling. He was too young at that time, and he couldn't believe that his gentle and elegant father and his always gentle and quiet mother could also quarrel, and they quarreled fiercely.

They didn't know he was awake, smashing things around the room.

At that time, Qin Mingzhu was hugging his little pillow. He was frightened and turned to look for his grandfather.But my grandfather suffers from insomnia, and he has to take sleeping pills to fall asleep at night. Once he falls asleep, he can't wake up no matter what.

He had no choice but to run back to his room, hide in the closet, bury his face in the feather pillow, and tightly cover his ears with his little hands, blocking out all the outside sounds.

Since then, this problem has remained.

As long as he encounters something he doesn't want to face, he will hide in the closet.

When the grown-ups find out about his problem, they will make fun of him.

Only one person will not.

When Yan Jiayu found him in the closet, she didn't smile or show any surprise, but closed the closet door again.But he didn't leave, he just sat down outside the closet and guarded Qin Mingzhu inside through a wooden board.

Later, a tacit understanding gradually formed.

When Qin Mingzhu hid in the closet, Yan Jiayu always stood guard outside.

That night, he heard five light knocks on the closet.

This is the secret code between him and Yan Jiayu.

Pearl, the first sound, jade, the fourth sound, adding up to five tones.

Qin Mingzhu raised her head from the crook of her arms, and looked at the wardrobe door with tears all over her face.

The closet door was opened at this moment, and warm and dim lights streamed in from outside.

The person who should have fallen asleep stood outside the cabinet door.

That was the only time Yan Jiayu carried him out of the closet.When he was carried out, Yan Jiayu's warm and comforting voice was always in his ears.

"It's okay, Pearl."

"Don't cry, I'm really okay."

"I know you don't mean it, well, don't cry."

Obviously he was the one who hurt others, but the one who was hurt still came to comfort him.

Qin Mingzhu couldn't help wrapping her arms around Yan Jiayu's neck more and more, with tears streaming down her face, she repeatedly said sorry.

His sorry was finally interrupted by a kiss.

Yan Jiayu kissed him.

The crying immediately turned into a hiccup.

"Uh!"

Qin Mingzhu immediately covered his lips, his eyelashes were wet, and because he had been hiding in the closet for a long time, he was sweating all over his body. The water-stained and crystal-clear sweat adhered to his smooth white skin, like a steamed bun just out of a steamer. The skin is fragrant, warm and soft.

"Now that I have done something that I think is too much, it's time for me to say sorry to you." Yan Jiayu's eyes lightly touched Qin Mingzhu's, "I'm sorry, Mingzhu."

In Qin Mingzhu's heart, apart from astonishment, he also had inexplicable shyness. With his mind blank, he instinctively ran away again, just like the confession at the age of 19.

As he ran away, he didn't look back at Yan Jiayu's expression.

Qin Mingzhu hid back in her room and couldn't fall asleep almost all night.

That kiss played over and over again in his mind.

He doesn't like people touching him casually, and if someone touches him without his consent, he will definitely get angry.

If he still dared to take his first kiss, he would definitely be furious.

But why didn't he get angry with Yan Jiayu?

why?

Until the next day, Qin Mingzhu didn't think about it, so she had to pretend that the kiss hadn't happened, but he found that not only was he pretending that it didn't happen, but Yan Jiayu didn't mention the proactive kiss.

And Yan Jiayu has changed.

Qin Mingzhu found that Yan Jiayu's petty gestures of intimacy towards him became less and less, there was no touching of the head, no wiping of the mouth, and there was no such thing as hugging and sleeping together.

Yan Jiayu became very busy, if he went to sleep with Yan Jiayu at night with his pillow in his arms, he would only go to bed alone first.When he woke up, he was already in his bed.

Qin Mingzhu lost many privileges with Yan Jiayu, although Yan Jiayu still treats him very well, for example, she still queues up to buy him pastries.

It turned out that someone was chasing Qin Mingzhu, sending him things for dozens or even hundreds of days, and asking him about his health. One day, that person suddenly disappeared.

Two days later, Qin Mingzhu saw that the other party was talking intimately with another person. He kept his eyes on and walked over surrounded by his friends.

Two or three weeks later, that person came to the door again, saying that Qin Mingzhu had no heart at all.

Qin Mingzhu had a heart, but he didn't understand his own heart before.

There are too many people who treat him well, and after one leaves, a new one will be added, so he never lacks love, and he never keeps those around him.Just like a flower in a greenhouse, when one withers, a new one will bloom.

But Yan Jiayu was never a flower.

When Qin Mingzhu found out that Yan Jiayu's way of treating him had changed and she felt so sad, she suddenly figured out something.

He cared about Yan Jiayu a lot, not the way he cared about his relatives. He didn't want Yan Jiayu to know about his friends because he was afraid that Yan Jiayu would be with his friends, and because he liked Yan Jiayu.

Yan Jiayu kissed him, but he didn't get angry because he liked Yan Jiayu.

The moment Qin Mingzhu wanted to understand, she was ashamed of her selfishness and slowness.

Dullness might be corrected, but selfishness—

Qin Mingzhu felt that he probably didn't want Yan Jiayu to be with others. Just thinking about that scene made him feel painful.

Figured it out, Qin Mingzhu first went to find his friend from that day, he apologized to him, and then told him about his liking for Yan Jiayu.

"So I can't help you to confess to him. If you want to confess, you can go by yourself, but I also told you in advance that I will compete with you."

When my friend heard this, he smiled wryly, "Who dares to compete with you, and I don't want to. I'm afraid that if I'm with your brother, you'll drown me with tears."

Usually Qin Mingzhu would be annoyed and glared angrily when he heard the truth as a joke, but this time he said thank you very seriously.

Hearing this, the man shook his head even more bitterly, and after a while he smiled and said: "That's fine, your brother is with you. From now on, you will have your own name, and you will be able to reduce a lot of mad bees and butterflies. Annoying. There have been a lot of your posts on the school forum recently, have you read them?"

Qin Mingzhu's mind was no longer on the conversation, he faltered a few words perfunctorily, all his heart was stuck in how to confess to Yan Jiayu.

He never confessed to anyone.

After doing a lot of homework, the prototype of a confession began to be constructed in Qin Mingzhu's mind.

He wants to make a sculpture of Yan Jiayu.

Qin Mingzhu drew design drafts by herself, asked her classmates in her major to help, and locked herself in the sculpture room day and night.

He was afraid that Yan Jiayu would find out the clues, and he would excuse that he was going to participate in the competition, so he would be very busy, and he was also afraid that the other party would see his disheveled appearance, so he took a shower in the hotel near the school every day before coming back.

After several months of hard work, Qin Mingzhu finally completed his work.

The golden sunlight falls through the three-meter-high transparent floor-to-ceiling windows and falls on the human-high pure white marble sculpture.The young man lowered his brows and lowered his eyes, his face was clear and bony, and a pair of huge wings grew out of Yingwei's naked back. Every feather on the wings was lifelike, and the silk cloth like pigeon blood passed through his legs like water, and his walking stick became a staff. , very wild and divine.

Qin Mingzhu felt that this might be the most proud work of his life.

But his confession failed.

Yan Jiayu accepted his confession in front of everyone, but when only the two of them were left, he said.

"I can't promise you, Pearl."
