Leng Xing temporarily forgot that Ziyi was still in front of him, and his mind went back to that day more than ten years ago, that little girl who impressed him deeply. He had been investigating what happened before she was four years old. From the time he saw her
From that day on, all her records were blank before the age of four. After the age of four, her name was Ding Ziyi. She had no father or mother since she was a child. I don’t know if they abandoned her or both of them died. She grew up with her aunt.
Big. And her illness occurred when she was four years old. It seems that her life became what it is now because of that illness.
Ziyi looked at the stunned Leng Xing and waved her hand in front of his face. Leng Xing came back to his senses and looked at her.
"Why - why are you looking at me so strangely?" Ziyi was frightened by what he saw, but she still asked bravely.
"Xiao Yi, I want to ask you a question, and you answer me honestly." Leng Xing made up his mind in his heart. Since he wants to give up, he must be more thorough. What if he doesn't? Maybe they just have the same name.
"Why are you so serious? You didn't even come in to see me when you saw me in the hospital that day..." Ziyi lowered her head and fiddled with the corners of her clothes.
"That day... I was afraid that I would make you uncomfortable if I went in." He looked forward.
"Really? Why?"
"Because I am such a cold person, which is not conducive to your condition." Leng Xing made an excuse casually.
"Really?"
"yes."
"I believe it."
Leng Xing breathed a sigh of relief, but the next words made him have the urge to vomit blood.
She looked at him sideways and said, "It's the ghost."
Leng Xing glared at her, but she was not afraid of her and still looked at him so leisurely.
"Okay, I won't argue with you anymore. I said I want to ask you a question. Now, please look me in the eyes and answer me." He pulled her over and asked her to look directly into his eyes:
"Do you have any memory of things before you were four years old?"
"Before four years old?" Ziyi frowned and looked at him.
"Yes." Leng Xing's hand tightened unconsciously. If she said he knew, would he still ask?
"I don't remember. How can I remember such a small thing?" Zi Yi shook her head.
call……
Leng Xing secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"But, it's so strange. Why don't I remember my parents at all?" She lowered her head and murmured again. It made Leng Chen's heart twitch again, but she put the question aside and raised her head to ask Leng Chen
Xing: "Why are you asking this?"
Leng Xing didn't want her to know what he was thinking, so he started to say with a straight face: "You can go out."
"Hey, don't treat me like an employee of your company. I don't do that." Zi Yike was not afraid of him at all. She had never been afraid of him from the day she met him.
"You won't go out? You asked for it." Leng Xing ducked and blocked the kitchen door: "Then help me wash the vegetables."
"You--you're crazy!"
"You came to help me, so hurry up and wash the dishes." Leng Xing said lazily.
"I -" Before Zi Yi could say a word, Leng Xing walked to the cooking pot and started working, ignoring Zi Yi again.
Zi Yi punched his back hatefully.
The battle was in full swing in the kitchen, but there was laughter and laughter in the living room. Qianxing was amusing the white puppy named Benben, and Feiyang was peeling apples, first peeling one for Grandma He, and then peeling one for Fengfeng.
.Then he cut one and ate it.
Qianxing pouted dissatisfiedly and said, "Teacher Li, why don't you cut one for me?"
Feiyang was stunned. He had not thought of cutting Qianxing's hair, because in his concept, cutting it to Grandma He was to respect the elderly, and cutting it to Fengfeng was to care for the young. But to cut Qianxing's hair, what was it?
Fengfeng raised his little hand at this time and said: "Sister Qianxing wants Brother Feiyang to peel the apple, which proves that Sister Qianxing likes Brother Feiyang!"
One sentence made both of their faces turn red, with black lines all over their faces. Feiyang hit him on the head and taught him a lesson: "You know this at a young age."
At this moment, Ziyi and Leng Xing each pushed open the kitchen door and walked out with a plate of dishes.
Fengfeng started talking again: "Huahua in our class asked me to peel an apple for her, but I didn't peel it. Doesn't that prove that I like her? In my heart, I just regard her as a good friend, but there is no male or female.
Feeling."
Now, including Grandma He, everyone's face was covered with black lines.
Qianxing coughed, and when he saw Ziyi and Leng Xing, he quickly changed the subject: "Ah, Xiaoyi is out, it's time to eat, let's start the meal!"
Feiyang also looked at Ziyi a little embarrassed, and quickly went to take the dish from her hand. As soon as he took it, he felt that it was hot, and he was so frightened that he shook his hand away. Fortunately, Ziyi did not let go.
Zi Yi smiled and said, "Okay, I'll just put it on and you can go over and eat, but I can't guarantee the quality."
Leng Xing didn't squint his eyes, and he still had the same face that wouldn't change color even if the sky fell.
Fengfeng jumped on the chair first and sat down, loudly saying: "I want that braised pork ribs!"
Grandma He said to Leng Xing: "Oh, you have worked hard too, sit down and eat something."
After everyone sat down, Grandma He stood up and said to them: "Today is the birthday of Grandma's sweet grandson. I am very happy to invite you. Fengfeng, thank you brothers and sisters."
Fengfeng stood up and said to them: "Fengfeng, thank you brothers and sisters for coming to wish me a birthday. Let's have a drink first!" As he said this, he picked up the drink cup in front of the table.
That cute look made Ziyi, Qianxing, and Feiyang all laugh, and the lines on Leng Xing's face softened a bit. This was already a very good change for him.
Fengfeng continued: "You four seem to be exactly two pairs."
All three people's faces turned red. Only Leng Xing still had the same expression.
Grandma He smiled and said to them: "I didn't know that you had known each other before, but I didn't need to introduce you. Okay, let's start eating." Feiyang and Qianxing just told them
They all knew each other and probably introduced them to Grandma He. Leng Xing's phone rang at this time. When he saw the word 'chen' on the screen, he nodded to them and said, "I'll answer the phone." Others.
Everyone nodded.
After Leng Xing went out, Ziyi looked at the plates of food and refused to take down her chopsticks. She pushed Qianxing to ask Qianxing to taste it first, but Qianxing didn't dare to take down her chopsticks even after seeing Ziyi's scared expression.
Grandma He urged: "Ziyi, hurry up and eat."
Ziyi asked with a grimace: "Why do you want me to eat first?"
"Weren't you two making it in the kitchen just now? So of course you have to taste it first."
Ziyi raised her head and looked at everyone's eyes. It seemed that she had to do it by herself. She closed her eyes, raised her head, and said with a heroic look: "Okay, I'll come first. I'll come first."
"
After taking a bite, she slowly took a few bites, with an expression on her face that made it difficult to tell whether it was good or bad. Then she picked up a chopstick and said, "It seems that I can't taste it all at once." Wait.
After eating it with chopsticks, the others looked at her expectantly, and she said: "It's simply delicious!" After saying that, she ignored the others and placed a plate of dishes on the table.
In your own bowl.
When Qian Xing saw it, he became anxious and shouted, "Leave some for me."
Feiyang also started to cheer: "I want it too, I want it too."
Fengfeng became even more excited. He almost stood on the chair and shouted: "I want it too!"
Then a table of three adults and one child gathered together, and there was a burst of joyful laughter.
Leng Xing answered the phone, and there was silence for about a minute.
Leng Xing pursed his lower lip and spoke in a low voice, deliberately not wanting Ziyi to hear: "Chen, are you back?"
Then I heard Leng Chen's breath: "Yes, I'm back."
"You left without saying a word and didn't report to Sydney. Aren't you afraid that others would worry about you?" Leng Xing's voice rose unknowingly.
"Brother, I have figured out a lot of things now. Do you know why I disappeared suddenly?"
"I know!"
"You know? How do you know?"
Leng Xing took a long breath: "I...of course know! You are because of Ziyi."
Leng Chen exclaimed: "Brother, do you know her?"
"Strictly speaking, I knew her earlier than you. I knew her before she came to work in our company."
I felt that Leng Chen's tone no longer had the carefree tone before, and he seemed to have matured a lot. Perhaps this was all due to Zi Yi.
After a moment of silence, Leng Chen asked: "Brother, do you like her?"
Now Leng Chen is particularly sensitive to this kind of thing, so he guessed it when he heard the suppressed emotions in Leng Xing's tone.
"Don't worry, I won't steal her from you. She will be whoever she likes."
"Brother, where are you? Why is there so much excitement next to you? Are you with her?" He heard the laughter here, and there was a voice that he was very familiar with, because Ziyi was talking to Qian
He grabbed the food and shouted loudly for that plate.
Leng Chen's heart suddenly tightened, but how could it be possible? He asked tentatively.
Leng Xing would never lie to this younger brother, because he hated being lied to and lying to others, so he chose to remain silent.
"I understand. I'll hang up now. Bye." Leng Chen's mood had never been more complicated. After saying those few words quickly, he hung up the phone.
Leng Xing looked at the disconnected phone and was stunned for a moment, then a wry smile appeared on his lips.
Grandma He just looked at them with a smile. At this moment, she caught sight of Leng Xing from the corner of her eye and said with a smile: "Come here quickly, your food is so popular."
Leng Xing walked over, looked at Ziyi's smiling face, and made a decision in his heart.
Leng Chen's mood is very complicated now. He suddenly learned the news about Ziyi and suddenly found out that his brother was with her. Although they may be just good friends, his silence was like a needle, pricking his heart.
His heartache penetrated deep into his bone marrow and could not be pulled out. It seemed that it had taken root inside and wanted to sprout. He told himself that he should believe him, he was his brother. Brother, thinking of this dearest person, his
There is always a warm current flowing quietly in my heart. When I was a child, I loved to be naughty and mischievous, but every time I got into trouble, I would hide in my brother's arms and wait for him to protect me. At that time, I was really
Naughty. Therefore, it is impossible for his brother to come with him to steal his girlfriend. Thinking of this, a smile appeared on his lips again. Besides his brother, the person who worried him the most was probably Ziyi.
Tomorrow, tomorrow is her birthday, and I don’t know if he will be part of her birthday tomorrow.
He thought of Ziyi's bright eyes and Leng Xing's last sentence: Whoever she chooses is who she chooses. Brother, the person who always protects him, encourages him. So, he wants her to He knew that the person who loved her most was not anyone else but him. Thinking of this, his whole body was filled with strength.
The dinner here was coming to an end, Qianxing pulled Ziyi's sleeve, asking her to announce her birthday party tomorrow.
Ziyi looked at the dishes on the table, then cleared her throat, stood up with a smile on her face, and said solemnly: "I'm here today to announce something!"
The whole table looked at her.
Leng Xing's fingers squeezed hard. He didn't know why his heart felt so uncomfortable at this moment. She was afraid that he would know that Leng Chen was back, and he didn't want to hear the answer. But he had to force himself to face it.
"Tomorrow is my eighteenth birthday. My uncle said he would hold a birthday party for me, so I invite everyone present." He took out a handful of lavender invitations from the bag and handed them out to everyone. He took a picture and continued: "Tomorrow at seven o'clock in the evening, see you on the third floor of the Sunshine Hotel."
Leng Xing's hand suddenly loosened up. It turned out not to be the case. She probably didn't know that he had returned.
Feiyang looked at the photo above of her smiling face and didn't know what to do for a moment.
"Okay, I'll be there on time." Leng Xing said calmly. He wanted to hide his emotions, so he had to speak first. But suddenly his cell phone rang again, and when he got through, it was Xiaoyu's anxious voice: "President, I will be with you this afternoon." The lady arrived at your office, waited for a while and then left when you didn't come back. But she took your purple shell with her."
"What? I'll be right back." Leng Xing was shocked. That shell meant a lot to him, and he couldn't let it fall into the hands of others. He immediately stood up and nodded to several people: "I'm sorry, my company has something to deal with, first of all Let’s take a step.” Then he walked out without waiting for anyone else’s permission.
Ziyi chased after him and shouted at his back: "Remember, you must be there tomorrow." He turned around from a distance and nodded.
Ziyi looked at his walking back, feeling a little disappointed in her heart, but she immediately thought of tomorrow's party, so she went back to the house, looked at them, and waited for their answer.
Feiyang nodded first: "I will definitely go."
Grandma He looked at the name of the hotel on the invitation, was stunned, and said with a smile: "I'm an old woman, so I don't need to go. You can go and have fun. I'm old now and don't want to move anymore."
"But grandma..." Zi Yi was anxious.
Feiyang waved his hand to her: "Since grandma doesn't want to go, then we won't force it."
Seeing that the situation was not right, Qian Xing helped to persuade him: "Then we will bring you some delicious food next time we come here."
"Haha, okay, okay." Grandma He said with a smile.
"Wow, this hotel is opened by my uncle." Fengfeng shouted. Grandma He glared at him, and he quickly closed his glass and sat quietly.
"Okay, after all this trouble, we have to go back." Qian Xing stood up and said.
Feiyang also stood up and said, "Then let me see you off."
Zi Yi thought for a while and said, "You and I are not on the same road, so there is no need to send him off. I can go back by myself."
Qianxing shook his head: "That's not possible, how can I let you go back alone, right?"
"Yes, that's not possible. How can I safely let you go back alone? It's night again."
"How about I accompany you?" Qianxing said, holding her hand.
"Well, that's fine, you can sleep at my house tonight. Anyway, the house is very big and it feels empty when I live there."
"Then we can talk all night again." Qianxing said with a happy smile.
"Go, I want to sleep, so I won't talk to you."
"Okay, what do you two have to say? We'll talk about it later when we go back. Now, let's stop the car and go back, ah?" Feiyang interrupted the two girls and said.
"Okay, grandma, let's go." Carrying their bags, the two girls and the boy left together and followed Grandma He at the door of the yard to say goodbye.
"Okay, remember to come often." Grandma He said with a smile.
"Well, I know, we will definitely come to see you often." Ziyi nodded her head.
After walking out of the courtyard gate and being silent for a while, Ziyi finally asked: "Why don't you let Grandma He go to the banquet?"
Feiyang looked ahead for a long time and said: "The owner of that hotel was supposed to be Grandma He, but her son deceived the hotel from her, so Grandma He vowed never to enter that hotel in her life.
's door."
Qianxing exclaimed: "Why is her son so selfish? He even wants to defraud his own mother!"
"There is nothing I can do about it. Grandma He has many children. Everyone is afraid of losing their share of the family property, so they always get some items from Grandma He. And the owner of the Sunshine Hotel is Grandma He's second son." Feiyang sighed.
Tone, say.
Then Feiyang stopped a taxi for them and asked them to get in. Watching their car dragging a long trail of exhaust gas away, his heart seemed to be lost.
He walked in and said goodbye to Grandma He. Grandma He patted him on the shoulder: "Feiyang, you must like one of them."
Feiyang was startled: "Grandma."
Grandma He sighed: "Qianxing is a nice girl, lively and cute, and so considerate."
Feiyang said nothing.
"As for Ziyi, she is a lonely girl. She is very loving and easily satisfied. She is beautiful and lovable, but she is also so lonely that she doesn't seem to be around us. She ------ is not yours
Happiness, do you understand?" Grandma He said with emotion.
Feiyang was shocked and asked: "Grandma, who do you think will be her happiness?"
"Her happiness must be fought for by herself. She is the one who throws away the mask." Grandma He recalled the scene when she first met Ziyi and caught the thief. That indifferent man seemed to have done a lot for her.
"The person who threw away the mask for her?" Feiyang murmured to himself, could that person be Leng Chen? It's unlikely. Leng Chen has no mask in front of everyone, who could it be? In his mind
The way Leng Xing looked at her made his heart skip a beat. Could it be him?
Ziyi and Qianxing were sitting in the car, still happily discussing how delicious the food was. Ziyi said: "I didn't expect that a person who looks so noble can actually cook such delicious food."
"Humph, you really look down on others."
"Hey, you didn't dare to eat at first, okay?"
"How could I? I was just thinking about you."
"A dead duck has a tough mouth."
"What did you say? Say it again if you have the guts!" There were sounds of gnashing of teeth.
"Don't say good things a second time."
"You are looking for death..."
The two were having a great time and had no idea that the driver had driven the car towards a road that was not going home.
Finally, Ziyi realized something was wrong. Why didn't she get home after driving for so long? She asked the driver: "Hey, where are you taking us?"
"Our lady wants to see you, we are just taking you to meet our lady." The driver no longer had the same attitude as before, he said fiercely.
"Who is your lady? I'm not interested in seeing you. Send us back to the city quickly." Zi Yi said in a cold voice.
"That's not up to you." The driver said slowly and politely, but accelerated the speed, which scared Ziyi and Qianxing to scream, and then they all walked up the streets on both sides, and found that the outside was getting more and more deserted.
There are no buildings in sight now.
After an unknown amount of turbulence, the car finally stopped. It was a villa area with an elegant environment. Looking at this beautiful environment, Ziyi and Qianxing wondered in their hearts what kind of person this young lady was.
This place is the Xinghu Villa area where Leng Chen's villa is located, but Leng Chen didn't know that Ziyi had also arrived at this place.
