In the air-conditioned office, Ye Yuqing closed the document, leaned back, and let out a long sigh of relief.
After recovering for a while, she picked up her mobile phone to open WeChat Moments, and slowly swipe up with her finger.
The screen is full of photos and flowers showing affection.
Lu Jie passed by after get off work, and patted the person who was playing with the phone with his head down: "What are you looking at? Don't you date your boyfriend on Qixi Festival?"
Ye Yuqing looked away from the phone screen, sat up straight, and said with a smile, "We made a reservation at a nearby restaurant, it's very close, two subway stations away."
She made an appointment with her boyfriend at 6:30, and Ye Yuqing was going to leave at 6:00.
"Tsk, no wonder you are dressed so beautifully today." Lin Jie said while looking at the little girl in front of her.
Ye Yuqing, who usually wears light-colored clothes, rarely wears a red dress. Her complexion is white and rosy, and her cheeks are like juicy fruits, which make people want to poke them.
The phone rang, and Ye Yuqing glanced at it. The call was from Han Chuan, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
"Is the road blocked today? Where did your car go?"
"Um... Yuqing, I'm going on a business trip to Beijing temporarily, and I won't be back until two days later. Sorry, I can't have dinner with you today."
Ye Yuqing was slightly taken aback.
Han Chuan waited for a few seconds, saw that there was no sound, and said, "I'm sorry, can I come back to make up for you? Don't be angry, I can't help it."
Ye Yuqing came back to her senses, her voice was very soft: "It's okay, work is important."
Han Chuan breathed a sigh of relief, and then slowed down his speech: "I knew baby you would understand, and I will contact you when I come back, be happy."
"Well, be careful on the road."
—
Ye Yuqing hung up the phone, lying on the table with her hands under her chin.
How could she not be disappointed, the dress she picked out specially, apart from eating today, she had something else to say to Han Chuan.
Lu Jie clasped her hands in front of her chest and said "tsk": "Leave the little beauty behind on Valentine's Day, your boyfriend is a person who does great things, don't be tied down by the love of your children."
Ye Yuqing raised her eyes and didn't know how to answer for a while.
Lu Jie knocked down the table with her index finger, blinked, and changed the topic: "However, he is too ambitious, so let's forget about it, but on Valentine's Day, he actually left his girlfriend aside, do you really care? "
Ye Yuqing got up quickly, cleared the table and said, "No, we meet each other usually, it's true that he just happened to have some business and couldn't get away."
Good temper as usual.
Even so, she felt something was wrong.
Ye Yuqing sighed from the bottom of her heart, she didn't know if she was explaining to others or persuading herself.
—
After returning home, Ye Yuqing quickly took off her makeup and took a shower.
With her hair half-dried, she went to the kitchen to cook herself a bowl of noodles.
While waiting for the noodles to be cooked, I took out a box of broth from the refrigerator and put it in the microwave, chopped green onion and coriander.
She will stew the broth once every two weeks, fill a large pot, let it cool down and put it in a fresh-keeping box to freeze it. When it is used, it is convenient to take it out and reheat it. It can be used for cooking noodles or blanching vegetables.
When the noodles are cooked, the aroma of the kitchen is overflowing, and one has to eat well.
Ye Yuqing brought the bowl to the dining table and turned to look for the notebook.
Recently, she would watch a variety show for dinner, because she used to draw pictures before going to bed, so she used her laptop to watch the show.
A big screen is more comfortable than using a phone.
Ye Yuqing clearly remembered that she put the notebook on the desk last night, but she couldn't find it when she looked for it.
She came out of the bedroom and searched the room carefully again, but she was still missing.
Could it be stolen
Just thinking about it like this made Ye Yuqing feel anxious.
In the notebook are her works over the past few years, as well as half-finished business drafts.
This is more important than the price of the item itself.
But if there is a thief, why just take the notebook, and other valuables are still there
There were no signs of being turned over in the house.
Ye Yuqing picked up the phone and called Han Chuan.
The phone beeped to the sixth beep, and it was connected over there.
"Yuqing, what's the matter?"
"Did you see my notebook?"
Han Chuan: "Oh, I took it away."
"You have a computer, why do you suddenly use mine?"
Sensing that the other party's voice was dull, Han Chuan thought for a while and said, "Lin Lanyue's notebook is broken. She has a very important document to do yesterday. I'm in a hurry, so I lent her your notebook. I can Someone will bring it to you tomorrow."
Ye Yuqing supported her forehead: "If you want to lend my things to others, do you need to ask for my opinion first?"
"Baby, are you angry? What do we have between you and me?" Han Chuan subconsciously coaxed, but he was a little surprised. Ye Yuqing had always been gentle and generous, and she was the most tempered girl he had ever met.
In his opinion, borrowing a notebook is a trivial matter.
He thought about the reason, maybe it was because he didn’t spend Qixi Festival with the other party, so he was so emotional, Han Chuan smiled and said: "I did this wrong, so how about I compensate you for the new notebook? Lover holiday gift."
"No, you can ask someone to send my notebook over tomorrow. I'm not used to lending personal items to others."
"OK, I get it, there won't be a next time." Han Chuan promised smoothly, but didn't take this matter to heart.
Ye Yuqing hung up the phone under fire. She waited for three minutes, but there was no call from there, and Han Chuan didn't give any further explanation.
Well, that feeling of something wrong came back.
Ye Yuqing took a deep breath and was about to walk back to the dining table when she saw the ipad on the table out of the corner of her eye.
Her iPad is in the company, and the one in front of her is obviously Han Chuan's.
Maybe she forgot to take it away yesterday, Ye Yuqing picked it up and unlocked it without thinking too much.
Let’s use a tablet to view it today. The left and right illustrations cannot be drawn.
She knew the password of the pattern lock, and when Han Chuan used it, he didn't avoid her on purpose.
The interface of the iPad only has a few working software, the original wallpaper has not been changed, and there are no entertainment games.
Ye Yuqing was too lazy to download the app. She opened the browser, ready to use the web version to watch the show.
For Ye Yuqing who dared to log in as a member of the video network, a message box popped up on the top of the page.
A new email notification.
She accidentally poked it in with her finger, and when she was about to get out, she suddenly stopped.
This is the check-in receipt email from the hotel.
"Dear Mr. Han Chuan, I sincerely welcome you to stay in Puyue Hotel..."
I know every word, but when they are connected together, Ye Yuqing seems to not know each word.
Her brain froze for a moment. Didn't Han Chuan go on a business trip to Beijing? How could he open a room at the Puyue Hotel in the city center at this time
Did he cancel his business trip? But five minutes ago, when the two were talking on the phone, why didn't they tell themselves
Since he is in this city, why doesn't Han Chuan stay at home and open a house
Many question marks appeared in Ye Yuqing's mind, and her breathing slowed down.
She forced herself not to speculate wildly. An email can't represent anything. It might be a room opened by Han Chuan's friend using his identity, or it might be entertaining company customers.
Don't judge yourself lightly.
Ye Yuqing was no longer in the mood to eat, so she put on her underwear and went out. She had to see it with her own eyes to be at ease.
She was lucky, the scheduling of taxis on Qixi Festival was very tight, but she just happened to meet a taxi that was dropping off passengers, and she got a taxi smoothly.
After the car drove out, Ye Yuqing realized that she was in a hurry, and she was still wearing indoor slippers.
But she didn't care to change it when she went back.
—
The city under the night is like another world, and the street view outside the car window is constantly regressing.
A young couple passing by.
A little girl selling roses.
Signboards in various colors.
The orange light strip of the overpass.
These details make up the grotesque night scene of the city.
Half an hour later, the taxi stopped in front of the hotel lobby.
The doorman thought she was a guest, so he opened the door and said hello, "Good evening, ma'am."
Ye Yuqing got out of the car to thank her, looking at the magnificent lobby of the hotel, she suddenly felt a little cramped.
How can I find such a big hotel
She was still confused, but when she raised her eyes, she saw a man and a woman coming out from the right corner of the hall.
Ye Yuqing subconsciously took a step back and hid behind the pillars in the hotel corridor.
As the two approached, the outline became clearer.
That's right, they both know each other.
... The woman holding Han Chuan's arm is Lin Lanyue.
Ye Yuqing's mind was buzzing, why did these two people appear here
Are they ready
Not necessarily, she denied again in her heart.
After all, they left the hotel instead of going to the hotel together. Maybe Han Chuan was delayed because of something, so he didn't get on the plane. It happened that Lin Lanyue had something to ask him.
After all, the two are good friends.
A few minutes later, the men and women who had left turned back, this time with five or six other people.
Ye Yuqing had also seen these people before, and they were all Han Chuan's friends.
She dug her fingers into her palm, reassuring herself that this might be a party with friends.
A group of people were talking and laughing, but no one noticed the girl standing behind the pillar.
"Han Chuan, are you dumping your girlfriend to play with us?"
"Where is it to accompany you, it is to accompany the big beauty."
"That's right. After all, Brother Chuan has liked Lanyue for a long time. There is a saying, I don't know where the love comes from, and I love it deeply."
All the conversations that followed were blurred, as if they couldn't hear clearly.
Ye Yuqing only knew that Han Chuan didn't speak from the beginning to the end, he didn't agree or object.
Lin Lanyue hugged her boyfriend intimately, the velvet black dress outlined a graceful curve, the crystal earrings reflected the light, and she smiled brightly.
This scene kept replaying in my mind.
Ye Yuqing really wanted to rush out to argue, but when she saw the group of people talking and laughing at Yanyan, her feet seemed to freeze.
She is actually not the type who is good at quarreling with others.
I was afraid that tears would flow down before I finished speaking.
Ye Yuqing looked down, she was still wearing indoor slippers on her feet, which was out of place here.
Today the hotel is full of couples, this is a public place, she doesn't want to be treated as a lunatic.
The group of people she watched walked away talking and laughing, Ye Yuqing put her hands on her chest, as if she was about to be out of breath.
At the end of August, the weather was hot, but she seemed to have fallen into an ice cellar.
That kind of coldness penetrated from the soles of the feet, and spread to the limbs little by little.
—
The welcoming guest standing at the door hesitated for a while, and asked worriedly, "Miss, are you okay?"
"Thank you, I'm fine."
Ye Yuqing raised her eyes, she stood up slowly, her calf was a little numb, and it took several seconds for her to recover.
The conversations of that group of people are revolving in my mind,
Han Chuan is her senior. The two have known each other since university and met again after graduation.
She liked each other, so when Han Chuan confessed, Ye Yuqing felt very lucky.
In the vast sea of people, you can find someone who likes you and who you like.
Ye Yuqing still remembered that rainy day, when Han Chuan came to pick her up, he tilted his umbrella to her side, half of his shoulders and hair were soaked by the pouring rain, but he tightly protected her in his arms.
He also knelt down to tie her shoelaces.
So are these all fake
But since Han Chuan doesn't like her, why did he do this
Ye Yuqing really didn't understand why she couldn't figure it out.
She thought it was her boyfriend cheating, but now it seems that those two have been together long before she and Han Chuan confirmed their relationship!
After all, among Han Chuan's friends, it is no surprise that he and Lin Lanyue are close.
So, is she the only one who doesn't know? So what is she
Ye Yuqing closed her eyes. When Lin Lanyue returned to China two months ago, Han Chuan invited him to dinner and took her with her.
So, why is Lin Lanyue so innocent when she knows the relationship between the two people
The more Ye Yuqing thought about it, the more her head hurt, as if it was going to explode.
She turned around and walked out step by step.
—
On the annual Qixi Festival, the air is full of love, warm and sweet.
The signal lights at the intersections in the city center were also changed to "heart-shaped" according to the occasion, and the lights that symbolized sweetness in the morning exploded the circle of friends.
Ye Yuqing looked up at the heart-shaped lamp.
Ten seconds later, the red light turned green.
She couldn't help but wonder, does this mean that life may turn green in the next second
If so, this light is very prophetic.
She was in a trance, didn't notice the steps under her feet, stepped on the air with her right foot, staggered, and fell to the edge of the sidewalk forcefully.
The road still had heat from the sun exposure during the day, it was unknown whether it was the pain from the fall, or the pain in her heart, Ye Yuqing burst into tears after holding back for a long time.
The surroundings are so lively, but she is so sad.
Ye Yuqing felt unbearably sad, her knees and elbows hurt, she lay on the ground and didn't get up immediately.
After more than ten seconds, she felt that something was wrong, why didn't there be a kind person to help her
She didn't notice that she just fell in front of a Lamborghini.
—
in the car.
Harry turned his face to the side, and asked the man beside him uncertainly, "I'm sure I didn't bump into her, what's going on?"
The man in the suit and leather shoes was a little impatient, and he pressed his eyebrows and said: You can ask her if she wants to leave by herself, or I will call a lawyer to negotiate. "
"Ok."
Harry opened the door, knelt down and asked, "Miss, are you hurt anywhere?"
The handsome blond-haired and blue-eyed guy who got off the sports car immediately attracted more passers-by to watch.
What's going on, is this still an international dispute
Ye Yuqing felt embarrassed to stand up now, she kept her brain running fast while lying on the ground, thinking about what to do.
The passers-by watching the excitement began to discuss in low voices.
"Could it be that the leg was broken?"
"so poor."
"died?!"
Ye Yuqing was stunned, she just fell down, how could she think she was dead
Do you look like a corpse? shouldn't be...
"Someone has notified the traffic police at the duty booth ahead, and the traffic police will be here soon!" a passer-by shouted.
Ye Yuqing: "...?!"
She listened carefully, and there was a vague siren whistling, and she jumped up from the ground in the next second.
Ye Yuqing instantly felt the blood rushing to her face all over her body, she ignored the dull pain in her knees and elbows, she lowered her head and stepped on her slippers, and ran forward without saying a word.
What a shame!
—
Li Che looked at the disappearing figure expressionlessly, turned his gaze away, and said in a steady voice, "Let's go."
Thinking of that timid face, the tears were real, but unfortunately I was too timid and didn't grasp the best timing, and fell down before my body touched the car.
Oh, the craftsmanship of Porcelain is too poor.
Harry looked up at the indicator light, and joked with a smile: "Wow, the Qixi Festival signal lights are all love, maybe this is a sign, Mr. Li, your luck is coming, and the iron tree is about to bloom!"
Li Che rolled his eyes, with a full face of rejection, not ready to chat with him.
The cool sound of the sports car faded away, and the champagne-colored Lamborghini drove into the hotel on the corner of the street.
