A Thousand Mountains and Evening Snow: Searching for Love and Leaving Traces

The sun shone on my face, warm and soft, itchy, as if my fingertips were gently scratching it.I opened my eyes, and in front of me was a magnified sleeping face.I nestled in his arms with my pillow on his arms, his arms around my waist, and the light smell of his body was in my nose.He was still soundly asleep, but it was the first time I looked at his sleeping face so carefully.

He was very quiet and peaceful in his sleep, without the disguise of glasses and messy hair, so that he no longer had the usual aggressiveness and strong sense of oppression, and some were immature and young that did not belong to his age, just like a child, but I actually saw him pouting. This is really a discovery that surprised me. It turns out that he also has such a side. Maybe only in his dreams can he return to the carefree past. He lived so tired.

I was afraid of waking him up, so I didn't dare to move around, but I just kept looking at him like this. I used to feel extremely shameful for lying in his arms like this, but now, I feel that such time is so precious.My hand gently caressed his cheeks, drew his eyebrows, and outlined his outline along the bridge of his high nose.When I moved my finger to his thin lips, I remembered the crazy move I made the night before. I was about to withdraw my hand, only to find that his eyes had been opened, and the hand around my waist had already been pulled away. Clutched my restless hand,

"Why do you hold back? Wasn't he very courageous just now!" He squinted his eyes and looked down at me, "Ah, I forgot, the behavior just now is not at the same level as last night."

I saw slight teasing in his eyes, is this considered flirting!

I broke free from his hand and sat up from his arms, but suddenly remembered that I had no clothes to change at all. The dress I spent a lot of hard-earned money on last night had been raped to a bad shape, and this room There were only his clothes in it, I covered my upper body with the quilt, and was so tangled up thinking about how to solve this problem, then I heard a slight laugh, turned my head, and found the upturned corners of his mouth that he couldn't hide in time, and because My act of snatching the quilt left his bare chest.My face was burning hot, and in a panic, I grabbed his pajamas that had been discarded on the ground last night and wrapped myself in it.I didn't even dare to look at him, and fled back to my room with my sore legs, leaving him lying on the big bed.

I went back to my room and finished tidying myself up, then went downstairs to the garden.He is already well-groomed and sitting at a small table in the garden, with a cup of coffee and a newspaper as usual, but the nasty guy who is hugged on his lap every day just runs happily around his feet, seeing me walking past , actually called me twice.As soon as I saw him, I thought about what happened the night before, so I had to lower my head and eat my breakfast.

"Damn it, it's rare that breakfast is so quiet today!" He put down the newspaper, picked up the hated boy at his feet, and even though he was talking to the hated boy, he looked at me.

"It was obviously barking at me just now!" I was dissatisfied with his molesting from time to time after waking up in the morning, and couldn't help retorting, "Also, Shao Qian, after breakfast, I'm going back to Yueying's house, where the design studio is. , I should go to work too. The two cases of the coffee shop and Mu Zhenfei have been dragging on for a long time."

Hate suddenly wailed, and I looked up in fright, and saw him quickly let go of the hand that was touching Hate, as if he had accidentally pinched Hate.His face became stiff, and I could see his gradually frowning eyebrows and the slight twitching of his facial muscles caused by his clenched teeth. I was very familiar with this expression, and I knew it was the sign before his violent anger. When I thought he was going to rush over, he passed me with disgust, and I only heard him say a word

"Um"

Then there is his back that is about to disappear slowly.I knew he must have misunderstood me, I didn't have time to think, I stood up and rushed over to hug him,

"Shaoqian, I'm going back to Yueying's house to pick up my luggage. As long as you don't drive me away, I won't leave." I turned around and looked straight into his eyes, "I want to live again. Come in, okay?"

I felt his stiff body gradually relax, and then he left the garden and a sentence floating in the distance,

"Be careful on the road."

I took my bag and went downstairs. When I passed his study, I could see his figure sitting in front of the bed through the half-closed door.

"Shaoqian, I'm leaving!" I greeted him, but got no response, so I went out sullenly.

As soon as I stepped into Mu Xue's office, Xiao Zhao and the others surrounded me and asked me if I was in good health. They also secretly blamed Mr. Wen for making us work overtime because of nothing, which made me sick. Quite embarrassed.I asked about the latest situation in the design office, and before I could sit down, I was called into the office by Mr. Wen.

When I entered the office, as soon as I sat down, Mr. Wen explained the purpose of calling me in.

"Tong Xue, you're back now, so the case at the coffee shop will start officially. Is there any problem with your health?"

"It's nothing. I'm really sorry to take so many days off. Thank you Mr. Wen for your concern." I don't think Mr. Wen knew that I already knew that Mu Xue belonged to Shao Qian, so I didn't say anything. Pretending not to know anything, he took over the task and left his office.

Talking and laughing with Xiao Zhao and the others, the day passed quickly. After get off work, I took a taxi back to Yueying's house. As soon as I entered the door, I saw Jiang Hao who was holding Yueying on the sofa and watching TV.

"Jiang Hao is here too?" I smiled and watched Yue Ying jump out of Jiang Hao's arms.

"Tong Xue? You're finally back, why didn't you say a word when you came back!" Yue Ying hugged me.

"Yueying, I came back to get something." After thinking about it, I explained my purpose.

"Bring something? Are you going on a business trip? Your boss used to look good to me, but now it seems that he is just a guy who doesn't know how to be sympathetic, and always sends you on a business trip as a girl." Yueying's face was full. Fight against injustice.

I burst out laughing,

"It's not a business trip. I'm going to move out, so I came back to get my luggage."

"Moving out? Where are you going to move? Back to your uncle's house? Your uncle and aunt took Shuai Shuai to the United States. You live there alone, and no one takes care of you. How inconvenient!" Yue Ying pulled Seeing me sitting on the sofa, I asked me in doubt.

"Yueying, I'm going to move in with Mo Shaoqian."

"What?" My words were interrupted by Yue Ying, her voice instantly raised an octave, "Tong Xue, did he use some means to threaten you again? Tell me, and I will help you, even if I can't, And Jiang Hao, I don't believe that he can cover the sky with one hand!"

"Yueying, calm down!" I comforted Yueying, "Don't worry, just listen to me."

Jiang Hao had already evaded, and I dragged Yueying back to the sofa.

"He didn't threaten me or harass me. It was I who wanted to go back to him."

"I do not believe!"

"Yueying, this time I am really willing. I love him and I want to stay by his side." I looked at Yueying and told her all my thoughts and feelings. She is my best sister. , I don't want to hide it from her, I hope she can bless me.

After listening to my words, she didn't say much,

"I still can't believe it all at once. He once treated you that way. But since you have made up your mind, I have nothing to say, but if anything happens, you remember to come to me. No matter what, this place will always be your home .”

I nodded with red eyes.

Pulling the suitcase, I stood in front of the villa, which was brightly lit. I knew that even though he ignored me in the morning, he was actually waiting for me, waiting for me to step into this house again.I told myself that what I want in the future is to be strong, even if I am hurt by his disguise, I can't leave him again.I want to dispel the pain that my father and I have brought to him. He once told Professor Jiang that he would never be happy again, but I want to help him get his happiness back.

I rang the doorbell, and soon Butler Ding came to open the door for me. I handed the suitcase to her, then sat by the shoe cabinet, and took the pair of pink slippers to change into.

"Miss Tong, you can start dinner after you change your clothes!" Steward Ding called Lao Ma to help carry my luggage upstairs, while preparing to go to the kitchen, "I'll just heat up the soup."

"What! I haven't had dinner yet!" I looked at the antique clock and pointed to the eight o'clock hand, "Mr. Mo..."

"Mr. Mo hasn't eaten yet! I called him, but...Mr. Mo said he wasn't hungry." Steward Ding glanced upstairs as he spoke.

I hurried upstairs before I even had time to change my coat. His door was still ajar as it was when I left in the morning. I knocked on the door, and then gently pushed the door open.

"Shaoqian, I'm coming in."

The desk lamp on the desk was on, illuminating a small area around the desk. He was sitting behind the computer, staring at the computer screen and didn't know what he was looking at. When he saw me push the door and go in, he just lifted his lowered eyelids , and then the attention seemed to return to the computer again.

"Shaoqian, Steward Ding has prepared dinner and is waiting for you to go down." I walked to his side, "No matter how busy you are, you have to eat, otherwise it will be bad for your health. I will go down with you."

I put my hand on his shoulder and rubbed his stiff shoulder, but he still didn't stop.

"If you're really not hungry, then eat less and treat it as being with me, no matter how hungry I am, I can't eat that much alone!"

"Why didn't your good friend invite you to eat!" He stopped his hands and said every word.

"She kept me for dinner, but I was afraid that someone would wait for me, so I came back in a hurry." I whispered next to him.

He turned off the computer after listening, stood up, ignored me standing next to me, and went downstairs on his own.In the past, I might have thought that he was angry, and I would secretly be afraid of his moodiness, but now I know that this is just a way for him to cover up after being guessed.I followed him downstairs and took our seats. Butler Ding helped us serve dinner.

"Butler Ding, just put my luggage there, I will pack it myself, you don't need to be busy." I stopped Butler Ding who was going to help me pack my luggage.

"Then, Miss Tong, call me if you need help." Steward Ding nodded, and then went to the garden.

Shao Qian and I sat at the dinner table, neither of us spoke, but we felt so peaceful.

He didn't eat much, and put down the bowl and chopsticks after a while.

"Don't clean up so late, go to bed early." When passing behind me, I heard him say this.

"There are not many things, so you won't be tired." I said as I watched him leave.

"I was afraid that it would be too late and would disturb me. Did I say that I was afraid that you would be tired? Which ear did you hear!" He turned around with an expression of thinking too much.

"I didn't say that's what you meant, I just answered you politely." I saw that he seemed to be choked by me, and went upstairs silently.

I remember when he was at the seaside, he was like this too. He obviously thought of one meaning in his heart, but when he said it, it turned into another meaning.If it weren't for the text message he left me four years ago, I would never have thought that he had such feelings for me. My love is still there.

It was a bit late to help Butler Ding clean up the kitchen, and when he passed by his study on the way back to his room, he could still see the light coming from the door.I slowly moved the things in the suitcase out, but in fact there were not many things in it, except for my clothes, only the mobile phone and a large box of paper cranes.I hid them in the closet, and then knocked on his door with a pile of clothes.

"What's the matter!" His voice came from behind the door.

"Shaoqian, it's me, open the door for me, please, I can't carry it anymore, Shaoqian..." I begged him softly, and after a long time, I heard his voice to open the door.

"What is this for?" He was full of doubts, looking at me who stumbled into the cloakroom with a pile of clothes.

"Shaoqian, I want to borrow your wardrobe." I lowered my head halfway, afraid of seeing his refusal expression, although I told myself to be strong, too many rejections would still make my heart ache.

"Why should I lend you the wardrobe!" He squinted at me.

"Because, because I can't fit in my closet!" I raised my head and looked into his eyes, there was a little me in it, "Although I don't have many clothes, I still can't fit them, who asked some people to buy them? I have so many clothes that my original wardrobe is almost full."

I bravely finished my reasons, and then looked at Shaoqian standing in front of me, who was a head taller than me.He is motionless, and his face is not as I expected, very calm, almost expressionless, the more he is like this, the more I can't guess what he is thinking, I would rather he lose his temper, whether it is joy or anger. Anger, I can at least feel something from his abnormal emotions, this kind of blandness is what I fear most.

In such silence, I force myself to stare into his eyes. I don't want to avoid the search of his eyes like in the past. I want him to know that I want to let him see my sincerity.

"Whatever you want." Finally he dropped three words, turned around and sat back at the desk, and tapped the keyboard in front of him again.

The pressure covering my body suddenly dissipated, and I almost fell to the ground.I patted my chest lightly and exhaled heavily.I know that the casual you said in his mouth is basically a tacit consent.I tidied up a space in his large closet, and then hung up my clothes one by one, slowly filling up his originally spacious and somewhat deserted closet.Looking at the clothes we hung together in the closet, it felt like I was snuggling in his arms, warm and homely.

I leaned against the retractable door of the cloakroom, just looking at him under the orange light. . . . . .

Shaoqian, I'm back!

"Is there anything else?" When I came back to my senses, he was already standing in front of me, "If it's okay, I'm going to sleep."

He stood in front of me like this, passed me and picked up the pajamas in the closet behind me, his chin brushed the hair on the top of my head, and our distance was as close as if he was holding me in his arms. You can smell the tobacco smell on his body, which is faint but not unpleasant. Such ambiguity made me shrink my shoulders unconsciously.After a while, he took his pajamas and walked away.

Looking at him who walked into the bathroom and closed the door, I blushed and fled back to my room, buried myself in the bed, listened to my heartbeat like a drum, but soon fell asleep.
