After a blind date with a rich old woman

Liu Yiyi returned to the apartment in the rain.

She was drenched, and the rain dripped on the floor along her clothes and body, leaving wet footprints.

Picking up came over and meowed softly at her.

As soon as Liu Yi walked to the sofa, she sat down and remained motionless.

Picking up and jumping onto the sofa, he sniffed the steam on Liu Yiyi's body, and meowed softly.

Liu Yiyi looked around at the one-bedroom and one-living room, Song Jinying had only lived here for a week, but she had already left traces all over the house.

There are her slippers at the door, her water glass on the tea table, the clothes she just changed in the bedroom, and her untouched breakfast on the dining table...

Closing her eyes, Liu Yiyi could clearly recall Song Jinying watching the computer on the sofa, or wandering around the living room bored.

It's all gone now.

Song Jinying will not come to her again, Liu Yiyi can live her own life at her own pace.

This should be fine.

Liu Yi nodded and murmured, "Very good."

It took her a long time to recover from the screams of Jiancai, remembering to take a hot bath.

After being exposed to the rain and wearing wet clothes for too long, Liu Yi still had a cold and a fever all night. Wrapped in a quilt, she drowsily watched a movie.

She didn't understand the content of the movie at all, but listened to the sound of the movie and struggled repeatedly in sleepiness and disturbing thoughts.

When he was about to fall asleep, the phone rang suddenly.

As soon as Liu Yi woke up from sleep, she hurriedly picked up her phone to check, it was Secretary Su's call.

Her heartbeat was heavy and fast, and Liu Yiyi, who was suffering from a low fever, broke out in hot sweat. She sat up straight and connected the phone.

"Hello." When she spoke, she realized that she was very hoarse. She coughed quickly to make her voice normal, "Secretary Su."

Secretary Su paused for a second and said: "I called to tell you that the nanny who stayed in the apartment to take care of you has been withdrawn. From now on, you need to be responsible for your daily life. The apartment owner will take care of you. Purchased for you in the name of , your living expenses will be charged to your card on NO.15 every month. Do you see any problem with this?"

Liu Yiyi didn't respond for a long time, but Secretary Su suddenly said this, did Song Jinying decide to divorce?

When Liu Yiyi didn't respond, Secretary Su called her again.

Liu Yiyi hurriedly said: "Actually, none of these are necessary..."

"The boss thinks these are necessary. I just follow the instructions. If you think it's inappropriate, you can contact the boss privately to discuss."

Liu Yi was speechless, how could she have the courage to contact Song Jinying now?

"If there's no problem, then I'll hang up first..."

"Wait a minute." Liu Yi swallowed, "Then...the divorce agreement..."

"The boss didn't say they want a divorce." Secretary Su interrupted Liu Yiyi after hearing the first few words, "You and her will continue to maintain a marriage relationship."

Liu Yi wanted to ask why he kept it up, it was no longer necessary... But the words turned and turned in his heart, and he was not willing to say it in the end.

Just keep it, it won't last long anyway - Liu Yiyi believes that Song Jinying's patience won't last long.

After hanging up the phone, Liu Yiyi couldn't fall asleep at all.

She suffered from the cold in the middle of the night, finally fell asleep, and had a bunch of messy nightmares.

……

As soon as Liu Yi recovered from her cold, it was the start of the new semester.

She spent all the time outside of class in the flower shop. After she finished her work, she listened to the boss's talk about the color matching, shape, color, etc. of the flower arrangement, and under the guidance of the boss, she tried to match the bouquet.

Liu Yi went to the flower shop whenever she was free, and after staying for a long time, the boss saw that she was not busy, so he asked her if she wanted to go to the countryside with him.

Some time ago, the boss and a friend took over a small old-fashioned flower base in the countryside, and they are currently renovating the base.

Liu Yiyi accompanied him to look around, and by the way, he also took the initiative to set up a second part-time job. After the new flowers in the base germinated, he would water the seedlings, weed the weeds, and loosen the soil.

The content is heavy and hard, the boss does not recommend Liu Yiyi to do it, but Liu Yiyi insists on asking the boss to give her this opportunity.

Liu Yiyi didn't want to have too much free time, she would rather fill every minute of her life with trivial matters, so that she wouldn't have extra physical and mental energy to think about her and Song Jinying.

Also, she needs money.

The boss agreed.

So Liu Yi went to flower shops and schools on weekdays, went to the countryside on weekends, and watched various flower art courses or flower farmers on the Internet when she couldn't sleep at night.

After all, life is slowly getting on the new track, and the flower seedlings sprouting in the greenhouse of the base are growing stronger day by day.Every time Liu Yiyi stays in the greenhouse and looks at those vibrant flower seedlings, Liu Yiyi feels unexpectedly peaceful.

She thought that she might be suitable to be a flower farmer.

**

After Song Jinying returned to China, she fell into the nightmare of insomnia again, and quickly lost the weight she had just regained.

One night when she couldn't sleep, Song Jinying searched on the Internet - like, what is love.

She saw a recommendation for a book called "What's Love Like" in a bunch of messy speeches, so she placed an order that night.

When the courier arrived at the company the next day, she opened it and found that what she had bought was a picture book for children aged three to six.

Song Jinying threw the book into the drawer very unhappy.

She opened the pile of pending documents, her eyes fell on the words, but her thoughts turned to Liu Yiyi.

Before returning to China, she withdrew all the people who were arranged around Liu Yiyi, and she didn't ask any questions about Liu Yiyi.

Two weeks have passed, she has no idea what Liu Yiyi is doing now and how her life is going.

But she really wanted to know Liu Yiyi's whole life clearly.She is too used to controlling Liu Yiyi's movements.

At first she thought that after a few days of discomfort, everything would return to normal, but the actual situation did not improve at all. The desire to "know what Liu Yiyi is doing now" became stronger day by day.

Song Jinying put down the pen, opened the drawer, took out the children's book, opened it, and read page after page without expression.

It was full of pictures, and it took her only half an hour to read the entire book.

After closing the picture book, Song Jinying stared thoughtfully for a while, then turned on her phone, checked the recommended book list for a long time, and ordered an adult book "Love: Concrete and Abstract" in the same city.

She contacted the store, added a high shipping fee, and asked the store to deliver the book to her immediately.

After placing the order, Song Jinying reopened the picture book and stared at the pages about loving and being loved.

After reading it several times, Song Jinying got up and made herself a cup of coffee, standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, sipping it alone with a sullen expression.

The second book was delivered in the evening, Song Jinying postponed work and opened the book to read first.

This is a popular science and discussion book with an academic atmosphere.

Song Jinying spent half the night carefully reading the book twice, and spent the rest of the night figuring out a problem.

Love is a non-cognitive emotion that cannot be proved by rationality, and her series of emotional reactions and behaviors to Liu Yiyi are in line with the abstract and concrete reactions of love—this is what Song Jinying thinks clearly.

But in fact she still felt bewildered.

Before that, in her cognition, liking and love were just tools that could be used to manipulate other people's emotions.She knows that others like to be liked by her, especially Liu Yiyi.

It seems that if Song Jinying said "I like you" and "I love you" to her, she would risk everything to satisfy all of Song Jinying's selfish desires.

Song Jinying enjoys the emotional response under this kind of manipulation, so she likes to stay with Liu Yiyi.

Where there is Liu Yiyi, it is her comfort zone, which makes her feel at ease, relaxed, happy, and full of expectations for the two of them to be alone - according to the book, this is the expression that she really likes Liu Yiyi .

But—now that Liu Yiyi no longer gives her the pleasure of manipulating her emotions, their relationship is full of friction and contradictions, Song Jinying will no longer feel relaxed and comfortable, according to the book's reverse deduction, then It should be that she doesn't like Liu Yiyi.

But since you don't like it, why do you still remember it?

Song Jinying bought a few more books on love science, and even books on psychology. After reading it, the definition of love, liking, and feelings that cannot be clearly explained by words and logic are in her cognition. , still like a crystal separated by a thin film, only a vague shape.

The only thing Song Jinying was sure of was her growing curiosity about Liu Yiyi's current situation.

What Liu Yiyi is doing now, who friends he has made, where he has been, what restaurants he has eaten at, whether he is happier than before or not... Not knowing anything makes Song Jinying irritable.

She endured it for a month, and still found a private detective to secretly take pictures of Liu Yiyi's recent daily life.

The photos were quickly sent to Song Jinying's mailbox by email.

It was a Saturday afternoon abroad at that time, and Liu Yiyi was squatting in the greenhouse, with a round hair, wearing an old and wide T-shirt and overalls, rolled up the trouser legs and sleeves, and using a small shovel and With muddy hands, loosen the soil for a row of flower seedlings.Serious expression, professional posture.

Song Jinying stared at the photo for a long time.

She was thinking about what happened to Liu Yiyi during the month she was separated from Liu Yiyi, and how she became a flower grower within a month.

Detailed information was sent every few hours.

It turned out that this greenhouse belonged to Liu Yiyi's part-time flower shop owner, so she took advantage of the opportunity to dig soil and grow flowers in it?

If you like to grow flowers, there is also a greenhouse built in the small courtyard, and she can come back to plant them.Plant what kind of flowers you like, even if you build the whole garden into a flower shed, there is no problem.

Song Jinying just thinks about the scene of Liu Yiyi planting flowers in the small courtyard, pruning the flower branches, picking and cutting the flowers, and then waiting for him to come home from get off work every day, and he is eager to look forward to it.And this urgency born of imagination made Song Jinying anxious.

Anxiety about not getting what you want.

She looked at the photos several times, flipped through the books about feelings, and gradually realized that even if she and Liu Yiyi no longer felt comfortable and happy when they were together, she still seemed to like Liu Yiyi. Yiyi.

Because she was not only looking forward to, but even longing to stay with Liu Yiyi.
