Qiao Yan's home is in Zijin Xianghuiyuan in the city center, which is known as the most beautiful upscale residential area in City C. Ye Mi is not surprised. She studies in school and earns tens of thousands of yuan a month. People like him who fly around all day will naturally not be short of money. What's more, he is a young master. Although he was kicked out of the house, he is still a lean camel that is bigger than a horse.
"Doesn't every pilot company provide dormitories to live in?" Ye Mi touched a large, exquisite vase, pouting with a look of disdain on his face.
Qiao Yan packed his things and put his black box in a cabinet at the door. "I usually don't live in the dormitory when I don't have a mission the next day." He raised his head towards her and said, "You can choose whether to live upstairs or downstairs."
Ye Mi looked around and said, "The people downstairs live, I live upstairs."
Qiao Yan smiled, "Then the room on the left side of the second floor is for you." Then he opened the door of a room downstairs, "This is your study room. You can read books or review your lessons here. There are toiletries in the bathroom and bedroom. Go out and buy them tomorrow. If you need anything else, you can find a way. If you can't, tell me. You can use mine tonight."
After saying that, he turned around and went upstairs. Ye Mi lowered his head and followed him slowly.
"This is my room. I'll give you forty minutes. Take a shower and go to bed." After saying that, he lowered his head, feeling a little uncomfortable. "I'll go to the study and sit for a while." Then he carried his bag and walked to the next room.
It was already past 12 o'clock, and Qiao Yan sat down, looking exhausted. He took out the training plan and flipped through a few pages at random. Because of Lin Pei's withdrawal, the entire plan had to be redone. He turned on the computer and just typed a title in when the door opened.
Ye Mi leaned half of his body in, holding shower gel in one hand and shampoo in the other, "They're all for men!"
"Just make do with it. I don't have any ladies' stuff here." He looked her up and down, "Besides, most men are not as tough as you."
Ye Mi glared at him and rushed to him, "Qiao Yan, why are you so mean? Would I die if you didn't have a sharp tongue? No wonder Lin Pei could marry a wife like that, but you have been single all this time." After saying that, she glared at him fiercely, turned and left, slamming the door shut with a deafening sound.
Qiao Yan froze there, the look on his face becoming increasingly gloomy.
"Qiao Yan, let's break up. Lin Pei proposed to me."
"Qiao Yan, why can't you make me happy like Lin Pei? Why do you always like to help me arrange this and that behind my back..."
"Qiao Yan, I like Lin Pei's sunshine, his romance, and his humor. I can't understand the sadness between your brows, which makes me feel uneasy..."
"Qiao Yan, Lin Pei and I are getting married. I love him, please let me go."...
Even now, when he closes his eyes, he can still see her sparkling, watery eyes. She looks at him with so much reluctance and attachment. He holds her hands and can feel her coldness and trembling.
"Xiaoning..." Just a name made all the words stuck in his throat. He looked up, over her slender shoulders, and saw Lin Pei standing there. Qiao Yan was stunned. After a long time, he used all his strength to force a smile, "I wish you... happiness..." Those two words were stuck in his throat, and he seemed to have no courage to say them. He slowly let go of her hand, took a few steps back, and turned around...
Qiao Yan took a deep breath and rubbed his face. He didn't want to think about it anymore, but every time there was a touch, it would come back to his eyes like movie images, especially her clear eyes and the hand that had been held up and would not let go just because he let go.
His love died suddenly without any warning, and the cause of death is still unknown.
Qiao Yan forced himself to cheer up and made a detailed plan for next week's student training. He looked up and saw that it was almost two o'clock. He turned off the computer, got up and went back to the bedroom. The heat in the bathroom seemed not to have completely subsided. It was a mess. It was obvious that it was left like this on purpose.
He shook his head helplessly and smiled, "It seems that grandma has really spoiled you." As he said that, he tidied the room, took a shower and went to bed.
Ye Mi originally planned to sleep until she woke up naturally, but Wei Ge called her early in the morning and asked her how her aunt's illness was going.
Ye Mi was half asleep and half awake, with his eyes not even open, "Oh, who is it, auntie?"
Ding Dawei was stunned for a moment, "Ye Mi, didn't you say your aunt was sick? She didn't come back all night last night. Everyone was very worried about you. Where are you?"
Ye Mi was startled and sat up suddenly. "Oh, it's okay, it's just acute gastroenteritis, it will be fine after an injection. You don't have to worry about me, I'm living at my uncle's house." She glanced at the alarm clock on the bedside table, it was already nine o'clock.
She put down the phone, fiddled with her hair, jumped out of bed and went to the bathroom to wash up. When she came in, she found that she didn't even have a toothbrush or toothpaste. She stood in front of the sink and looked at herself in the mirror. "How can I be thick-skinned? You have no taste." Then she imitated He Xiaoning's behavior she saw yesterday and made a hair-stroking gesture. "Wow, so beautiful, Qiao Yan, you can regret it later." After saying this, she couldn't help laughing.
Ye Mi came out of her room and went to Qiao Yan's room. She had to borrow some toothpaste to brush her teeth. She knocked on the door twice and reached out to check the door lock. It was locked. She was stunned for a moment, then she got angry. She banged on the door twice, "Qiao Yan, come out." Then she started knocking again.
"What are you doing!" Qiao Yan was a little impatient. He had only slept for a few hours. He got out of bed, put on a pair of linen home pants and a shirt with only the middle button fastened. His hair was a little messy and his face still looked sleepy.
"What are you talking about? What do you mean? I didn't lock the door when I went to sleep. Why did you lock the door?"
Qiao Yan tilted his head, looking at her with a straight nose and straight eyes, and couldn't help laughing, "It was you who said last night that you were afraid of a fire that would burn. Isn't it good for me to take some precautions?"
"Tsk, Qiao Yan, don't think you're great just because the women in the company are obsessed with you. Let me tell you, I always regard beauty as dirt, so stop being so conceited."
Qiao Yan ignored her, turned back to the bed, put on his slippers, opened the curtains, and began to fold the quilt. "I'm not on guard against you. I'm mainly afraid that I'll be so hungry in the middle of the night that I'll do something that I'll regret for the rest of my life."
"Don't worry, I won't give you any chance." After saying that, he rushed in without thinking twice, went to the bathroom, took the toothpaste and facial cleanser and left.
Qiao Yan stared at her blankly, a little frightened by her impetuous appearance. Before he could recover, the phone rang. It was an unfamiliar number. Qiao Yan picked up the phone and said a few words, but something was wrong with his expression. "Okay, let's meet at the restaurant of Qiaojiang Hotel at noon."
After hanging up the phone, Qiao Yan frowned, pursed his lips, and seemed to be worried.
When Qiao Yan finished cleaning up, he saw Ye Mi standing in the kitchen, holding the pot lid in one hand and scooping instant noodles from the pot with the other. "Sure enough!" he said two words.
Ye Mi turned around and glanced at him, "As expected?"
"The mouth has two functions. When one of them is particularly developed, the other will degenerate greatly. Now I understand why you didn't say anything when the company didn't give you a separate dormitory."
Ye Mi now doesn't hate others, but hates himself for being a bad mouth. He knows that he can't spit out ivory, but he still likes to ask. He is really asking for trouble. This time, he clearly said that he can eat, and his mouth can only eat but not talk.
"Qiao Shuai, I have discovered that you haven't aged at all in these years and look so youthful. It turns out that you live with these preservatives every day." He raised the bag of instant noodles in his hand. In the entire cupboard, there were only instant noodles and canned food. It was really convenient.
"Aren't you here yet?"
Ye Mi didn't refute this. She couldn't stand eating instant noodles every day. Her biggest hobby was eating, but she couldn't let herself down.
"Let's discuss this. From now on, I will cook and do the housework, and you will give me 10,000 yuan a month for living expenses and labor fees."
"It's too expensive! Five thousand." Qiao Yan flipped through today's newspaper and said as if nothing had happened.
"Eight thousand, it can't be any cheaper. The nanny works very hard, and she also brings you newspapers." Then she sat down next to him, put her arm around his shoulders and acted like a spoiled child. "You make more than a million a year, why are you still fussing about this?"
Qiao Yan closed the newspaper and said, "Then I can't find a nanny with an annual salary of 100,000 yuan to make me angry, 6,000 yuan!"
"Deal, transfer the money at the beginning of each month, and any special expenses will be reimbursed on a reimbursement basis." He extended his hand and said, "Give me your car keys. I'm going to buy groceries and will be back to serve Master Qiao at noon."
"No, I'm going out for lunch at noon. I have an appointment."
Ye Mi stared, "Why is that? If you don't eat, I will. Besides, I have to go out to buy something."
Qiao Yan looked at his watch and said, "Wait a moment, let's go together. I'll take you to the supermarket, and you can just take a taxi back after you finish shopping."
Although Ye Mi was dissatisfied, he could not say anything more. He just remembered the lesson that if he had to drive here next time, he could not count on the man in front of him for anything.
Qiao Yan dropped her off at the entrance of Walmart and drove away. He felt a little alienated on the way. There were so many hotels and restaurants in City C, but he chose Qiaojiang Hotel, a place he disliked but couldn't help but look at every time he passed by.
