On the second floor of Huai'an Painting Hall, the floor lights were dim and silent, as if there was no one there.
However, in the lounge, there was a figure sitting alone against the wall, motionless, as if a thousand years had passed.
And if a thousand years can really pass by in such a blink of an eye, then what do these so-called pains count for in the long river of time?
Unfortunately, she couldn't avoid it.
Ye Xi leaned her head against the wall and looked through the window of the lounge, just in time to see the bright moon outside the window.
However, her eyes were chaotic and without focus, and the moon outside the window had a double image.
Until a faint sound suddenly came to her ears. It was very soft, but she still heard it.
That was the sound of the harmonica, an instrument she was once very familiar with. Even though she hadn't heard it for many years, even just one sound could touch countless past events hidden deep in her heart.
What's more, this harmonica is playing the same song.
Ye Xi's eyes suddenly became clear and focused, and even the bright moon outside the window returned to its original appearance.
She heard it, and heard the "Midnight Serenade" that she was all too familiar with.
Almost unconsciously, Ye Xi suddenly stood up and followed the sound uncontrollably, hoping to hear it more clearly...
Until we reached the entrance of Huai'an Painting Hall, the song finally became so clear that it couldn't be more clear -
It's that song.
It's that person.
Ye Xi's tear glands, which were almost dry, suddenly became moist again.
She didn't even remember how long ago it was, she just remembered that she had a quarrel with him at that time and wanted to separate from him - because they shouldn't and couldn't be together in the first place.
Later, he played this tune under her window.
She cried like a fool, threw herself into his arms and never wanted to come out again.
After so many years, she still cried like a fool when she heard this song again.
But she no longer dared to take a step forward. She could only stay behind the door and let the music invade all her senses.
After what seemed like a long time, the music finally stopped, and silence returned to the surroundings, as if everything just now was just a dream.
But she was still immersed in that dream and couldn't wake up.
Until, a tall and thin silhouette suddenly appeared on the door window.
Ye Xi's tears instantly became uncontrollable again.
She saw him standing quietly at the door, she saw his crisp collar, she saw the broken hair on his forehead...
Everything about him was so familiar to her and so addicted to him.
Then, she saw him raise his hand and gently touch the glass on the door.
"Xixi, come here." He said.
Ye Xi took a step back stiffly.
Obviously he couldn't see her, but he was sure that she could hear him when she was behind this door.
"Do you know how long I have been waiting for today?" He said, "How can you bear...not to see me?"
Ye Xi's tears fell uncontrollably.
"Or do you really plan to never see me again in this life?"
Ye Xi didn't make a sound, but all her emotions had completely collapsed.
She had loved this man for more than ten years. She once naively thought that she would never be separated from him. She also once thought that she would never see him again.
But all these thoughts were just her thoughts - she would eventually lose to herself and him.
"Xixi." He called her again, without any more words.
Ye Xi took two steps forward stiffly, almost reaching out to touch his hand on the glass, but she suddenly paused. Then, she slowly turned her head and looked at the surveillance camera in the corner of the ceiling.
.
As if it was a kind of telepathy, she just felt that Mu Qian should be looking at her at this moment.
She didn't know what expression Mu Qian would look at her with, what mentality she would have. She only knew that she might let her down again.
"Qianqian, I'm sorry." She looked at the surveillance camera and said in a low voice, "I am different from you. You are strong, you are brave, you can let it go as long as you want, you can really forget Huo Jinxi... But
I can't. I only have him, I really only have him."
She knew that Mu Qian couldn't hear, but she knew that Mu Qian would understand what she was saying.
She also knew that after saying this, she would not get any response, but she still stood still for a moment before finally turning around.
She finally walked to the door, reached out her hand, unscrewed the lock, and slowly opened the door.
Ye Jinfan stood in the middle of the door, looking at the moment when the closed door slowly opened in front of him, his eyes finally lit up little by little.
It wasn't until Ye Xi's pale and thin face finally appeared in front of his eyes that Ye Jinfan's eyes froze for a moment. However, the next moment, he reached out his hand and rubbed her into his arms.
Ye Xi was in a trance, leaning on the familiar chest and shoulders, as if she was still in a dream.
"I think you are going crazy thinking about it." Ye Jinfan hugged her tightly, "Do you know?"
After a long time, Ye Xicai finally spoke in a low voice and called him: "Brother..."
Ye Jinfan suddenly raised his head, stretched out his hand to wipe away the tears on her face, then lowered his head and kissed her eyes again and again.
"This time, no matter what, I won't lose you again..." Ye Jinfan said.
Ye Xi slowly raised her eyes to look at him. After a long time, she finally spoke again: "Then take me and let's get out of here, okay?"
When Ye Jinfan heard this, he stared at her quietly for a moment, then took her into his arms again.
"We will always be together." Ye Jinfan protected her head and said slowly, "Xixi, don't be afraid."
…
The Huo family's old house.
Mu Qian was sitting at the dining table, with a late-night snack in front of her and a mobile phone that was still playing the picture.
At this moment, the only picture on the phone was the bodyguard who was relocking the door, but Mu Qian was still staring at the phone quietly.
Until Huo Jinxi stepped forward, turned off her mobile phone, and then glanced at the midnight snack in front of her, "Do you still want to eat?"
Mu Qian shook her head. Huo Jinxi glanced at her and then said, "I'll heat up a glass of milk for you."
After saying that, he stood up and walked into the kitchen.
Just as he put the pot of hot milk on the fire, a pair of hands suddenly stretched out from behind him and gently wrapped around his waist.
Huo Jinxi adjusted the fire with one hand, and slowly placed his other hand on the back of her hand.
"You said..." Mu Qian leaned against his vest and was quiet for a moment before speaking in a low voice, "Will Ye Jinfan give up everything and take her away?"
"The person who would do this is definitely not Ye Jinfan." Huo Jinxi replied.
Mu Qian listened and just responded in a low voice.
Huo Jinxi paused for a moment, then said calmly: "Even if he can, why does he think that I will let him live the rest of his life so comfortably?"
