did not meet tonight

This bed is really hard, no matter which side you sleep on, it's uncomfortable, so Ye Jian can only toss and turn and get irritable all night. Of course, he will not attribute the cause of his insomnia to worrying about Xiao Yu.

After finally surviving until dawn in the morning, he got up with his panda eyes open, took a simple wash and walked out the door. Xiao Yu's guest room was opposite him, and the door was closed tightly. Ye Jian hesitated for a while, but decided not to go. Knock on the door, who knows if he is inside!

Thinking of this, Ye Jian felt aggrieved, and walked down the steps, and the servant told him that breakfast was ready in the dining room on the third floor.When Ye Jian went in, he found that Lu Yaning was already sitting inside, and next to her was Lu Baoxi. The two women seemed to have forgotten the confrontation yesterday, and they sat together with smiles on their faces and chatted happily.The servant brought breakfast to Ye Jian, including Chinese and Western styles. Lu Yaning greeted him: "Mr. Ye, did you get used to sleeping last night?"

"It's pretty good, I'm used to it." Ye Jian said with a smile, and took a sip of milk.

"But I see that Mr. Ye's face is a bit haggard, is he feeling unwell?" Lu Yaning asked with concern.

"How come, I was born with this face, hahahaha" Ye Jian laughed exaggeratedly twice.

Lu Baoxi pursed her lips and smiled and said: "It's normal that you are not used to Chen's house for the first time, unlike sister Ya Ning, you are as familiar as you are at home, I saw it last night, I think sister Ya Ning must have slept well. "

As she said that, she blinked her eyes ambiguously, and Lu Yaning lowered her eyebrows and smiled slightly, as if she had acquiesced.Ye Jian's eyeballs almost popped out: "Last night you and Xiao Yu"

Lu Yaning smiled and said: "We have known each other since we were young, but because of our different development directions, we have gradually lost contact. In fact, I have always missed him all these years abroad. I know that he is not married yet, so this This reunion means a lot to both of us."

Although she didn't answer the question, every word revealed a specious and ambiguous atmosphere to Ye Jian, which made him feel as uncomfortable as a fishbone stuck in his throat.Lu Baoqian echoed from the side: "Fate is predestined long ago. The two of you are well-matched, and being together is the most normal thing. You are simply a match made in heaven!"

"The horoscope has not been written yet, Bao Qian, don't talk nonsense." Lu Yaning said coquettishly, but from the look on her face, those words obviously made her very happy.

"Although the horoscope has not been written yet, it can't hold back your enthusiasm!" Lu Baoqian had a knowing expression on her face.

Ye Jian took a bite of the bread and almost swallowed it with his teeth.Lu Yaning nudged Lu Baoqian, and blamed, "Okay, you're a girl, so you don't feel ashamed to say this, Mr. Ye is still sitting here."

Lu Baoqian didn't even look at Ye Jian, and said disdainfully: "We are good sisters, there is nothing wrong with whispering, some people don't know how to sit here and block their eyes, so why don't we stop talking because of him?"

Ye Jian really didn't want to stay here any longer, he drank the milk in one gulp, stood up and left, Lu Yaning called him and asked, "Why does Mr. Ye eat so little?"

"I'm full, I'm going downstairs for a walk." Ye Jian forced a smile at her, turned and left.

Lu Yaning watched him walk out of the restaurant, her eyes sank, and the corners of her mouth raised, Lu Baoxi asked strangely: "Sister Yaning, why do you keep looking at him?"

"Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle." Lu Yaning took a sip of red wine and said lightly.

Today's weather is fine, the sun is shining brightly, but Ye Jian's heart is filled with gloom and mist. He walks on the stone-paved tree-lined path, the fallen leaves are colorful, and every corner is filled with the fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus. He finds a bench and sits down. Looking at the swaying leaves in front of him, he was in a daze.

Since yesterday's hasty meeting, he has never seen Yu Yuanyuan again, let alone talked, and now he thinks that grandma and the others didn't come, as well, otherwise, he would definitely not be able to accept Yu Yuanyuan's current situation.

Is love really so great that it is enough to make a person give up his freedom?

Ye Jian can't be sure, but if the relationship needs one of them to abandon himself to fulfill, then in the long years to come, can it only be maintained by stepping back step by step?

Ye Jian thought, if it were him, could he be like Yuan Yuan?

He couldn't help laughing bitterly. In fact, even if he was willing, those people might not agree, and he didn't even have the chance to back down step by step.

Because secular arguments and visions are enough to destroy everything.

He was really angry when he heard what Lu Yaning said, but after calming down, he just felt confused and helpless.When choosing to go with Xiao Yu, he once said that one day Xiao Yu would have a well-matched girl as his wife. Although it was a joke at that time, he knew very well that this might become a reality.

If one day their relationship was put on the table and a choice had to be made, he would help Xiao Yu.

Because he had nothing in the first place, even if he went back to the original point, he didn't lose anything.

Ye Jian took a deep breath and squeezed out a smile to himself, since he might lose it at any time in the future, why bother so much now?

He seemed to bump into something at his feet, Ye Jian lowered his head, and saw several palm-sized colorful rattan balls rolling over, he picked up one and glanced curiously, half of his body was cautiously leaning out from behind the bushes not far away , quickly retracted after hitting his line of sight.Ye Jian held up the takraw ball and asked, "Is this yours?"

Half of her head protruded from behind the tree, and her black hair fell down with her movements. She grabbed the emerald green branches and leaves with her snow-white hands, and replied timidly, "Well, it's mine."

The sound was so small that it was almost inaudible, but fortunately she nodded, Ye Jian picked up the remaining few takraw balls and walked towards her.

The girl seemed terrified, and buried her face in the leaves. Ye Jian looked at her with a bamboo basket full of colorful rattan balls in her arms, and he was about to put all of them in it. , Those round things rushed out as if they had discussed it.Ye Jian was in a hurry, catching one and dropping the other, looking at the takraw ball rolling all over the floor, he scratched his head in embarrassment: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it, I'll help you pick it up now."

He squatted down in a hurry, and the girl also subconsciously wanted to pick up the ball, and the foreheads of the two hit each other with a "touch". He raised his head and met those dark eyes, panicked, like a bird Frightened rabbit.Ye Jian froze for a moment, Mo Ming felt that the person in front of him looked familiar, but he was sure he had never seen this face before.

She looked less than 20 years old, her hair was very long, and she fell directly on the ground when she squatted down. She was wearing a white dress with a large hem and some mud on the edges. Although her skin was white, she had no blood, and she was small The eyes on Guazi's face are timid and melancholy, and they seem to be able to shed tears with a slight blink.

Ye Jian had never seen such watery eyes, like two crystals fished out of the stream, he stared blankly, and even spoke.

"That's my ball" the girl pointed to his hand and reminded in a low voice.

Ye Jian regained consciousness and quickly put the takraw ball back into the basket: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

"Are you from outside?" The girl blinked and asked curiously.

"Yes, I'm here to attend the birthday banquet." Ye Jian was extremely embarrassed, not only knocked off other people's things, but also knocked her forehead red.

"So that's the case, no wonder I haven't seen you." The girl said.

Judging from her clothes, she was obviously not a servant in the manor, could it be Chen Zhe's sister?But Yu Yuanyuan never seemed to mention that Chen Zhe had a younger sister.Ye Jian asked, "What are you going to do with so many sepak takraw balls?"

"I want to decorate my room with them, isn't it beautiful?" said the girl, shaking a red takraw ball.

These are small balls made of thin rattan, each one as big as a fist and piled in colorful colors in a basket, they are really pretty, Ye Jian said: "After you hang them all up, they will definitely be more beautiful."

"You think so too? I've already thought about it. I want to weave them into a string and hang them by the window, so that when the wind blows, they will sway like a rainbow." The girl looked excited, Change the timidity just now.

Ye Jian found that her eyes were particularly bright when she smiled, and even her pale face glowed, and she no longer had the sickly temperament before, so he couldn't help but said: "You look good when you smile, too."

The girl was stunned for a moment, and immediately lowered her head and stood up. Ye Jian felt that what he said was too frivolous, and quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, I don't have other meanings, so don't take it to heart."

The girl didn't say a word, turned around and ran away in a hurry, a black takraw ball rolled out of the basket, Ye Jian wanted to call her, but she was like a frightened fawn, not even daring to turn her head, and soon Disappeared behind the bushes.Ye Jian had no choice but to pick up the black rattan ball, Xiao Yu's voice sounded from behind: "What are you doing?"

Ye Jian paused, took a deep breath, pretended to be nonchalant, and replied, "I picked up an interesting thing."

"Takraw ball?" Xiao Yu glanced at it.

"Yeah, I didn't expect there to be such a cute little thing in the Chen family's courtyard. I don't know who left it." Ye Jian looked around, looking for the owner, but in fact he just wanted to avoid Xiao Yu's eyes.

"Are you still used to eating breakfast?" Xiao Yu asked.

"It's so rich, there are both Chinese and Western food, how can you not get used to it?" Ye Jian said with a smile, "I was going to call you in the morning, but I thought you might not be in the room, so I passed by alone."

"If I'm not in the house, where do you think I'll be?" Xiao Yu approached him.

Ye Jian couldn't help taking a step back: "How would I know, you are so familiar with the Chen family, you can go anywhere."

"It seems that you are happy to push me outside." Xiao Yu frowned displeased.

"Hey, you have to be responsible for what you say. The legs are on your body. Is it possible that I can still lock you up?" Of course Ye Jian would not admit that he pushed Xiao Yu out last night, let alone tell him I tossed and turned all night without falling asleep.

"If you do that, I don't have to worry." Xiao Yu sighed.

Ye Jian couldn't help feeling tense, opened his mouth but couldn't speak, a servant passed by, saw them and hurriedly said: "Mr. Xiao, the young master is looking for you, please go over."

Ye Jian dodged from him subconsciously, turned around and walked quickly, Xiao Yu stared at his background for a long time, and sighed deeply.Hearing the sound of leaving footsteps from behind, Ye Jian turned his head and saw that Xiao Yu had disappeared into the courtyard. The more he thought about it, the more unhappy he felt. Although the truth was the same, could he really not care? ?
