He Yunjian
Yu Siqing memorized this name deep in her heart, and later on, it was also engraved in her blood and bones.
From that night on, there was one more person in her poor and boring study abroad life. Whether she was working part-time or returning home at night, there would always be a gentle and handsome young man by her side. He was very free and often appeared in front of her inadvertently.
Sometimes it was while working part-time, sometimes it was in the library at the college, and before dinner time…
The relationship between the two seemed unfathomable, and Yu Siqing couldn't read his mind.
I can only attribute that night to the product of alcohol addiction.
Yu Siqing would give herself a day off every month on the weekend evening to replenish daily necessities.
She changed her clothes and took out the shopping list from the drawer. Just as she opened the door, she saw a blond, blue-eyed man walking out from next door. He looked a little sloppy and walked barefoot towards the kitchen. Then, the girl she lived with, Donna, followed him out. It was another night of hanging out in the bar. When she woke up from a coma, she was still wearing the wrinkled gold miniskirt, her heavy purple eyeshadow was smudged, and there was still some makeup on her cheeks. She looked completely unattractive.
Yu Siqing frowned, and kept her voice in a normal mood as she reminded him, "Donna... before we rented together, we agreed not to bring in strange men."
"My dear, you also said it was a strange male."
Donna pointed to the blond and blue-eyed man drinking water in the kitchen, crossed her arms, and said slowly: "You have seen him, the one who sent me home downstairs a few days ago."
"… "
"Are you going out for a big shopping trip? Remember to throw away the trash at the door."
Donna didn't take Yu Siqing seriously at all. After yawning, she stepped on her high heels and hugged the blonde. She acted as if no one was around and laughed from time to time.
After a while.
Seeing Yu Siqing quietly leaving, the blonde hugged Donna and deliberately said in a flirtatious tone: "Baby, your roommate doesn't seem to welcome me?"
Mentioning this, Donna's heavily made-up face showed a look of disdain and contempt: "Who does she think she is? She is so poor but still wants to study in New York. I have seen many women like this. They just want to get the identity of a talented woman studying abroad and return to China to find a rich husband..."
"Aren't you afraid of a falling out if you talk about her like this?"
"Hahaha, what am I afraid of? She doesn't dare to get angry with me. I paid most of the rent for this apartment... If she doesn't want to live on the streets, she can only endure it, right?"
"Do all Chinese girls look like her? Their bodies look plain and boring... Honey, I'm really worried about her future."
"My dear, you don't understand our culture... Many middle-aged greasy rich men like to find women like Yu Siqing who are highly educated and noble... The more hypocritical she is and the more she pretends to be a goddess, the more she will be flattered by old men."
The walls of the apartment were not soundproof, and Donna's sarcastic voice could be heard clearly. Standing in the narrow corridor, Yu Siqing could hear it clearly. Standing under the dim light, there was a black garbage bag on the wall at her feet, thrown crookedly on the ground, and rolled up fruit peels and paper towels rolled out.
Yu Siqing did not bend down to pick up the garbage bag. She kept her back straight as she walked through the wire door and towards the dark stairs in front.
It was very dark outside. It had rained during the day, so the ground was wet. Yu Siqing walked forward against the cold wind.
She calculated the time and figured it would take her almost an hour and a half to walk to the more affordable supermarket in the next district to shop, buying half a month's worth of daily necessities at once, which would save her more time.
Even though she hated such boring things taking up her time.
Poverty also forced Yu Siqing to plan well. When she entered the supermarket, she would go to the women's living area first and only choose affordable ones. The slightly more expensive fruit snacks were never within her sight.
After quickly buying these things and waiting in line, Yu Siqing received a call from He Yunjian on her mobile phone.
During this period, this man took the initiative to contact her frequently, which made her develop a calm tone, without any surprises or surprises.
When she answered the phone, He Yunjian asked her, "I'm downstairs at your apartment, where are you?"
Yu Siqing looked up at the people in line in front of him. The background noise could not be hidden from him, so he said softly, "Supermarket."
He Yunjian asked her for the address again and asked her to wait in the supermarket.
In the past, after shopping, Yu Siqing would walk back alone on a cold night, carrying her things with her hands even though they were so stiff that they almost broke.
When He Yunjian drove to pick her up, she had already queued up to pay the bill. Her thin figure stood at the entrance of the supermarket, with two heavy shopping bags under her feet. The items in them were very cheap, and she could vaguely see a bottle of cheap orange-flavored shampoo.
The man got out of the car, wearing a dark gray cashmere coat to keep warm, and a hand-made tailor-made suit underneath. It was unknown what occasion he came from, but he looked particularly formal, forming a sharp gap in wealth with her appearance.
Yu Siqing's gentle eyes quietly reflected his figure, until she came closer and even the cold wind was blocked.
"I heard from a friend that there's a new Chinese restaurant that's delicious. I'll take your food back to the apartment, and then you can go with me to that restaurant?"
He Yunjian's voice was gentle, and it sounded like he was asking about her wishes, but he had already helped her pick up the shopping bags.
Yu Siqing sometimes wondered if he missed Chinese food in China too much, and met her, a compatriot, so he was bored and came to work as a driver.
Except for that night before, He Yunjian treated her like an ordinary good friend and did not behave out of line. On the way to the car, the topic they talked about was all about food.
Occasionally, Yu Si would talk more, and He Yunjian could keenly catch a few key words. He smiled and asked, "Can you make sweet and sour spare ribs?"
Yu Siqing tilted her head and said, "I think all Chinese people can cook this dish."
"I always fail to cook this dish well. Let's learn cooking skills together some time."
He Yunjian was certain that she was good at cooking. There was no reason why a man like him who was good at observing people's words and expressions could not see that Yu Siqing's life was difficult. Before she went abroad to study, she mostly cooked for herself to make ends meet.
Yu Siqing smiled and didn't deny anything.
What she thought was that He Yunjian was indeed a hidden foodie.
They had arrived at the dilapidated apartment building without realizing it. Yu Siqing had a calm expression. How could she be so poor? He Yunjian had been following her for more than three months when she was working as a waitress in a western restaurant. Otherwise, he would not have been so kind to give her a generous tip every time he ordered her service.
But Yu Siqing didn't expect He Yunjian to be willing to help her carry the shopping bags upstairs. She was stunned for a moment and said, "I can do it myself."
He Yunjian avoided her hand, and his slender figure had already walked into the corridor. He turned his head, looked back at her and said, "Which floor do you live on?"
Yu Siqing had no choice but to tell him the floor and followed him. The narrow staircase made the man look particularly tall and noble, which was completely out of place in such a dirty and messy environment.
He Yunjian seemed to feel nothing. After finishing his hard labor, he stood in front of the iron door of the apartment on the seventh floor, waiting for her.
Yu Siqing reached out and pushed the door open first, but it was not locked. She took out the key and tried to open the door of the apartment, but found it was locked.
The black garbage bag was still there in the corner of the wall, as if it had been kicked hard by someone, with even the beer cans inside rolling out. In addition, the door could not be opened. Yu Siqing instantly thought that Donna had done it on purpose. Her eyes became a little colder, and she raised her hand to knock on the door.
I could vaguely see through the crack in the door that the light was off, and I wondered if there was anyone inside.
Yu Siqing kept knocking on the door, and she didn't stop even when her white knuckles turned red.
She has encountered countless awkward and embarrassing situations in her life since she could remember. When she was young at first, she would panic. Later, as she got older, she began to learn to cover up with her natural and friendly smile and turn the situation around without making a sound.
A cold night, a shabby and dirty apartment, being locked outside and homeless, and the man next to me.
Yu Siqing witnessed all of this and was embarrassed again tonight. When she tried to knock with her white knuckles again, she was held by a warm hand. She tilted her head and saw He Yunjian's face, which was very clear against the dim yellow light. He stared at her with deep eyes and said, "Come back with me."
He kept some dignity for her and didn't ask why she was locked outside the apartment. He just held her fingertips tightly in his palm on this cold night, and used his body temperature to slowly warm her cold heart.
Yu Siqing was brought back to the villa in the wealthy area, and she was given two bags of cheap daily necessities.
The old housekeeper in the villa was not surprised to see her. With a warm smile on her face, she took the initiative to store the shopping bags in the kitchen for her and asked He Yunjian, "Do you want to prepare a midnight snack for Miss Yu Siqing?"
He Yun rolled up his sleeves slowly, revealing his clearly defined forearm muscles. He said in a gentle tone, "Go and have a rest."
The old housekeeper tactfully returned to the room, and Yu Siqing sat on the sofa. After seeing the man walk into the kitchen and start busying himself, she hesitated for a few seconds before slowly approaching.
He Yunjian took out fresh ingredients from the refrigerator and did not make a big fuss at night. Instead, he cooked her a simple bowl of shredded chicken noodles.
Half an hour later.
Yu Siqing tasted the first mouthful of noodles and heard the man next to her ask, "Does it taste good?"
She held the silver chopsticks in her fingers and looked at him: "Tell the truth?"
He Yunjian smiled: "The truth."
Yu Siqing lowered her eyes and looked at the bowl of delicate and delicious noodles again, and said, "Your cooking skills seem to have more than ten years of experience."
She didn't mean to be overly flattering and deliberately used a bland tone.
He Yunjian smiled again: "I have a younger brother at home. He has been greedy since he was young. When he was fostered in the home of his elders, he always wanted to eat delicious food. He was usually very greedy. As soon as he saw me coming to visit him, he wanted to eat."
This was the first time Yu Siqing heard him mention family matters, and her attention was drawn to him. The depression she felt after being locked out tonight was also relieved. The corners of her lips curved up, "It seems that your brother has trained you to be a good cook."
After his parents died unexpectedly, He Yunjian began to change from a noble son who was raised in luxury to a man who was good at everything. When he was still a teenager, he often worried about whether his younger brother who was raised outside would be starved to death, and he insisted on going to check on him every week.
As a result, the boy, imitating his elders to sit on the futon and meditate, was young but had a calm temperament. He didn't move for a long time. When you get closer, you can hear him mumbling: "I want to eat chicken, I want to eat braised pork, I want to eat fish..."
He Yunjian picked him up from the cushion, and with a slightly hoarse voice, he angrily scolded him, "You little fool, saying you want to eat meat in front of the Buddha is extremely disrespectful!"
The little guy in his arms was not afraid of being frightened at all. He looked up, with a string of green Buddhist beads hanging from his thin neck. The adults took it and wrapped it around their wrists, but he was too small, so he could only wrap it around his chest. He stretched out his little hand and grabbed the corner of his clothes and said, "Brother, the clan leader gave me some vegetable leaves for lunch again... I want some chicken soup."
"You're just too fat. If you keep getting fatter, you'll never be able to find a wife in your lifetime!"
"No, brother. The clan leader said that I look like you and I will marry the most beautiful bride in the world..."
…
This was also the first time Yu Siqing heard the name He Suichen from him, and learned that there was a younger brother in the He family who looked 70% like him. Perhaps it was because of the mention of the past that they were closer in some way.
Yu Siqing suddenly felt that a man like He Yunjian was no longer out of reach.
After finishing this bowl of shredded chicken noodles, it was already very late at night, and she was slow to react and realized that she was about to face a very embarrassing situation. Because the old housekeeper went back to his room first, he seemed to have forgotten to arrange a second bedroom for her.
Yu Siqing took the dishes to the kitchen to wash, deliberately wasting time, and only came out half an hour later, wiping her fingertips clean.
He Yunjian helped her pick out the orange-flavored shampoo and shower gel from the shopping bag, turned his head to look at her, and said in a very natural tone: "I'll help you take it upstairs, go to bed early."
Yu Siqing stood there, taking apart the sentence and pondering it word by word. She was afraid that it did not mean what she interpreted it to mean.
Another half hour passed.
The huge and luxurious villa had become silent. Yu Siqing finally went upstairs. She had stayed there for a night before and knew where the master bedroom was. Every room in the corridor was closed, except for the one at the left end, which had a night light on.
Yu Siqing walked quietly into the open master bedroom. The windows were closed and the space was filled with a faint scent of incense, which smelled very nice. She couldn't help but look at the double bed. He Yunjian was already lying down in a black nightgown, lying on his side, and it was impossible to tell whether he was asleep or not.
Yu Siqing went to the bathroom next door and saw the bottles of orange-scented shampoo and shower gel placed on the sink.
For some reason, my tense heart seemed to relax all of a sudden. The feeling was very complicated, like compromising with the arrangement of fate, or like a drowning person finally grabbing a life-saving straw.
She stood in the bright bathroom, looking at her reflection in the mirror, and finally chose to walk into his trap.
Yu Siqing washed herself clean using orange-scented shampoo and shower gel bought from the supermarket. The cheap scent did not cover up her feminine fragrance.
There were no pajamas to wear in the bathroom, so she simply came out wrapped in a white bath towel, her toes stepping on the thick carpet without making any sound.
He groped his way towards the bed in the darkness and lay down quietly.
The beat of my heart was in perfect sync with the clock on the wall.
Maybe only a few seconds passed, maybe a few minutes, or even longer.
Yu Siqing lay flat on her back until the man next to her leaned over, his white shoulders sank with warmth, a weight that could not be ignored. Then, he carefully kissed the dimple on her temple: "... Sleep later."
Yu Siqing responded in a very low voice, then gradually put her forehead against the man's neck and said nothing more.
Starting tonight, the two of them completely broke through all the shackles of their relationship.
Yu Siqing did not return to the shabby and dirty apartment. The next day, He Yunjian sent a driver to pick up her luggage. There were not many things, so few that it was really pitiful.
Donna's phone also came in soon after, and she angrily humiliated her: "Yu Siqing... you are hanging out with a rich man, right? I locked your door once and you hired someone to smash the apartment. You are so capable, so capable!"
Yu Siqing didn't know the inside story and only found out from Donna's words.
It turned out that He Yunjian had instructed his secretary last night to buy the apartment where she lived at a high price, and not only sent people to smash it, but also kicked Donna and her blonde boyfriend out.
After she understood what happened, she hung up the phone without waiting for Donna to continue cursing.
He Yunjian never mentioned a word about the apartment from beginning to end, and after she moved in, he would return to the villa every night to spend the night. The two of them had never had a serious conversation and tacitly approved of this relationship.
As for Yu Siqing, she put all her time and energy into her studies, so she naturally had no spare time to worry about her relationship with He Yunjian. In other words, there was no relationship between the two at the beginning...
She quit several part-time jobs and no longer has to worry about next month's rent and living expenses.
He Yunjian had an unlimited credit card with her. One morning, when Yu Siqing was half asleep, she saw the man next to her get up. Perhaps people are not rational enough when they are not awake, so she raised her hands to hug the man's waist, and said in a light tone that was unconsciously coquettish: "Yunjian... accompany me to sleep for a while."
When she woke up, she was surprised to find He Yunjian lying beside her, his cold and slender fingers playing with her hair hanging on her shoulders.
Just like playing with a rag doll, I also braided beautiful long braids into her hair.
Yu Siqing felt a little uncomfortable. Usually, they would get intimate in the dark. When she woke up the next day, he was considerate and didn't want to leave any embarrassment. He got dressed and left the master bedroom first. This was the first time they faced each other like this after waking up.
But she soon discovered that He Yunjian was not wearing anything, and her sexy mermaid line could be vaguely seen under the quilt.
"Do you have classes this afternoon?"
“I don’t have classes… but I have to tutor my classmates.”
Yu Siqing's mind was completely blank. She just answered whatever was asked. Her trembling eyelashes revealed a hint of nervousness.
He Yun gradually understood that she was essentially a person who would not do anything without profit. He smiled faintly and said, "Tutoring classmates?"
"Well..." Yu Siqing told him honestly that she was charged on time, and the amount was not small, enough for her to save for a quarter's clothing money.
He Yunjian said nothing and let her hurriedly get out of bed to wash up. When Yu Siqing had tidied herself and walked out in a plain white dress, there was no man in the master bedroom, and in front of her dressing table, there was a card with an unlimited limit.
Almost at a glance, Yu Siqing knew how to think clearly and judge the situation, and instantly understood the man's intentions.
She would not refuse to accept the card just for the sake of her pitiful self-esteem, waste her time tutoring classmates to earn a living, and offend He Yunjian.
Maybe it's because of his personality, he is gentle and doesn't like to make trouble, and he just wants a place to stay.
He Yunjian seemed particularly satisfied with her, and the two of them lived like this for more than half a year before this balanced relationship was broken.
In early winter, Yu Siqing no longer liked to go to the library to study. She would return to the villa after class. She liked to stay in He Yunjian's study, where there was a spacious floor-to-ceiling window. In her spare time, she could look at the scenery of the wealthy area outside and make a cup of tea and drink it slowly.
As soon as Yu Siqing walked in, the old housekeeper did not greet her enthusiastically for the first time today, and the living room was also very quiet.
As she smiled on her fair and clean face, she saw a young woman sitting on the sofa. Perhaps she heard footsteps and turned around...
It was a beautiful and delicate face, very unfamiliar, one I had never seen before.
The old housekeeper came out at this time, and when he saw Yu Siqing coming back, he introduced her, "Miss Yu... This is Miss Tan Luan, the youngest daughter of the European shipping magnate..."
Before he finished speaking, Tan Luan put down the teacup in his hand. It was Yu Siqing's special teacup with little rabbit ears on it.
She raised her long and thick eyelashes and scanned Yu Siqing's body carefully, as if she was looking at an object for entertainment. When she asked questions, she addressed them to the old housekeeper: "Is this woman He Yunjian's new girlfriend?"
Tan Luan used French, which was within the range of Yu Siqing's proficiency, so she understood every word.
The old butler also changed his language to communicate with Tan Luan, which roughly meant that he agreed.
Tan Luan's red lips curled up in sarcasm. She had the capital and confidence to be superior to others. She didn't take Yu Siqing seriously and even regarded her as a love rival. "After He Yunjian broke up with me, his taste has really been getting worse... How can you play with such a plain woman for half a year without getting tired of it?"
The old butler did not comment on He Yunjian's personal feelings, whether it was his old love or his new love, he could not afford to offend her.
…
Before He Yunjian returned to the villa, Tan Luan had already moved in openly, accompanied by two bodyguards. It seemed that no one could stop her. She ordered people to move several large boxes of luggage to the master bedroom and threw out all of Yu Siqing's cheap clothes.
During the whole process, Yu Siqing watched quietly like a bystander.
As the saying goes, even a clay Buddha can still have some temper. When the old butler noticed that Yu Siqing's fair face never showed a trace of anger, he knew that in this confrontation, although Tan Luan seemed to have the upper hand, he would actually lose miserably.
It was just that Tan Luan, relying on her prominent family background and having dated He Yunjian for three years, looked down on this poor student from an orphanage.
After messing around in the master bedroom, Tan Luan stood in front of Yu Siqing in her pointed high heels, leaned down slightly, and whispered in her ear: "Any inconspicuous jewelry on me is more valuable than all your belongings... If you know what's good for you, get out of this villa right now and don't humiliate yourself."
Yu Siqing looked at her beautiful face with delicate makeup with calm eyes, and said, "What if I don't?"
Tan Luan looked at Yu Siqing pretending to be noble as if she was laughing at a joke. Suddenly, a brief flash of hatred flashed in her eyes. She raised her hand and slapped her hard: "This slap is a reminder for you... Whose man is this He Yunjian?"
Yu Siqing stood there without moving, with two bloody marks on her chin scratched by Tan Luan's nails. She was even in a state of withdrawal. Her dark eyes passed over the beautiful and sexy woman and looked at a familiar figure at the door of the villa.
