"Where is it, where is it?"
Olivia was looking in the bedroom with her mobile phone and the lights on. In order not to let her parents find that she had moved the drawers in their room when they came back, she was careful in every movement.
"Really not."
She sat on the ground, panting, and searched for a long time, but she didn't see a key at all.
So... could it be at the place of grandparents
She was about to go to Henry and Jenny's room, when she reached the door, she heard a series of footsteps.
"Anna, it's so late and you haven't slept yet."
Then there was a slight laugh, and the woman whispered softly: "Yes, I'm here to find a night. Old Green's health is not good. He recently asked for leave to go home and rest. I have to come to watch the night at night."
"Then please rest early, good night."
"Good night."
Olivia had already put her hand on the handle, and she almost twisted it away. She was so frightened that she froze in place, not daring to move for a long time.
It wasn't until the sound of footsteps disappeared that she slowly opened the door and slipped out on tiptoe.
When she passed the guest room where Rong Yan was, she stopped and looked at the closed door with unknown emotions in her eyes.
As for Rong Yan, he was not sleeping at this time, but was sitting on the rattan chair on the balcony, looking at the sky, in a daze.
Finally, he made up his mind, picked up his phone and sent a text message to An Ning and Henry.
He walked to the table and sat down, tore off a piece of paper, quickly wrote something on it, then folded it carefully, and pressed it under the desk lamp.
Only then did he lie down on the bed, but sleep seemed to hate him, and he just didn't come, making him toss and turn all night.
After An Ning and Chris received this text message, they were both stunned.
"You said he was going to transfer back?"
Chris and An Ning just woke up and were changing clothes. After hearing this, Chris frowned.
"So what happened… "
An Ning was walking around the bed with her mobile phone. Chris saw that she was walking around there without even changing her clothes. He picked up the coat at the side and put it on her body, and helped her to the bed.
"Ning, don't panic, what text did he send?"
Chris glanced at the phone, and his expression was not very good.
"What should I do? Xiaohua asked me to take good care of him. Now that he is leaving, has he been wronged?"
"The servants in our family are all hired after rigorous interviews. They can't bully Rong Yan. So, it's the school's problem?"
Seeing that An Ning still looked restless, he repeatedly comforted him: "Ning, don't worry, didn't he say that he will leave in two weeks, and the school will take some time to handle international transfers. When we go back, Advise him well."
"you're right."
An Ning was persuaded by Chris's words, and she forced a smile: "I hope I can let him stay."
"Regardless of whether he can stay or not, it is obvious that he has encountered a problem. Otherwise, based on his feelings for Olivia, he would never give up and go back to China easily."
"yes."
She lowered her head and leaned on his chest: "Where can Xiaohua and Yan Wang's child be sent? If it wasn't for Olivia, how could he have traveled thousands of miles to come here to study? Go to the university you graduated from."
"Okay, okay, we'll be back in a few days, don't tell Victoria about this, so as not to spoil her mood."
An Ning nodded obediently, and was about to go to the suitcase to get clothes.
"Go next door and wake Victoria up, if she still wants to have breakfast."
…
Olivia had no choice but to give up after searching in Henry's bedroom to no avail. She wanted to ask her parents every time, but failed to send the text message every time.
Later, she discovered a phenomenon that chilled her heart.
Ever since they said goodbye that night, Rong Yan seemed to be a different person to her.
From a suitor to a friend.
Yes, it was that kind of friend who was so ordinary that he couldn't be more ordinary. He treated her as plainly as water, which was completely opposite to the previous expression of wanting to get close to her fiercely.
It's like being a different person.
At first, she thought it was Rong Yan's other personality that appeared, so she didn't pay much attention to it. However, as time passed, she discovered that Rong Yan had been avoiding her and avoiding her all along.
It made her feel very uncomfortable.
Finally, the night before An Ning and the others came back, she couldn't take it anymore and raised a question during dinner.
"Rong Yan, I think we need to talk."
Rong Yan stopped holding the knife and fork, slowly put down the tableware, and said, "What are you talking about?"
"Have you been avoiding me on purpose recently?"
Olivia herself didn't know why she was angry and uncomfortable. She endured it for so many days, but in the end she still couldn't completely digest this question.
"I didn't hide from you..."
"No? Do you think I'm a fool? Didn't you agree to pick me up from school? Let's forget about it. Also, why didn't you open the door when I went to your bedroom to find you? Anna clearly said you were at home! "
She suddenly felt very wronged. In order to help him, she ran to her parents' bedroom to find the key to the library, thinking how to help him solve the problem of suppressing ghosts, but he treated her like this!
Don't talk about being intimate, anyway, when she goes looking for him, don't close the door and disappear!
"..."
Rong Yan's voice fell silent, Olivia felt sore in her heart, put the tableware on the tablecloth, and wiped her mouth.
The beef on the plate, but I ate two bites.
"I'm stuffed."
After she finished speaking, she got up abruptly and left the restaurant. Her calm and cold voice made Anna, who was standing by the side, look worried. She looked at her back and looked at Rong Yan reproachfully.
"Mr. Rong Yan, although you are a guest and I am a servant, I am not qualified to criticize you, but I still dare to go beyond the rules and say a few words for Miss Olivia."
"It's really too much for you to do this."
This was the first time she saw Olivia angry, as long as she was angry, she could hear it from her tone.
Although she didn't know what happened between them, she had been serving them these days, and there was no unhappiness between them.
What happened to make Rong Yan, who was so passionate about Olivia, become what he is now.
Rong Yan got up and walked towards the door of the restaurant quietly without saying a word. Anna wanted to say something more, but another servant beside her stopped her and shook her head.
"Are you crazy, you will be fired."
Anna bit her lip, gave up and continued to ask. Looking at the two plates of steaks that had not been touched much, she seemed to have deciphered something, and said with a frown, "His mood is not good either."
Olivia returned to the room, threw the pillow on the sofa to the ground, and stomped hard!
"I really, kindly fed the dog, what kind of crazy is he?"
She was so angry that she was trembling all over, and in the end she just lay down on the bed directly, beating the soft bed with her limbs!
"Rong Yan, you bastard!"
What she didn't know was that Rong Yan was standing outside her room at this time, when he heard the roar and the sound of throwing things from inside the door, his eyes dimmed, and he paused for a long time before reluctantly leaving.
An Ning and Chris came back from vacation with their youngest daughter. As parents, they could see at a glance that Olivia was different from usual.
Even though she was still lively and talkative, her mood was obviously much lower than before.
They also approached Rong Yan to ask the reason, but he had only one answer.
"I want to go back and spend time with my mother. The domestic schools are also good."
They tried their best to get some truth out of his mouth, but they couldn't do it at all, so they could only agree in the end.
"Then if you miss us, be sure to come and see us more, we always welcome you."
An Ning gave him a hug, looked at him with some emotion, and said emotionally: "Seeing you reminds me of Xiao Hua, so I really don't want you to leave, but if you insist on leaving, we will It’s not good to force it to stay.”
"Aunt An Ning and Uncle Chris, please take good care of yourself."
"Then, have you told Olivia that you are going back to China?"
Rong Yan looked at them seriously, but he couldn't hide the pain in his eyes.
"Please don't tell Olivia that I'm going back to China."
When Chris and An Ning heard this, they were completely sure that he had reasons and it was not his intention to leave.
"Well, we won't talk."
…
On the morning of leaving, Rong Yan walked into Olivia's room, seeing the bulging hill on the bed, a trace of reluctance flashed in his eyes, moreover, it was a deep feeling.
He put the piece of paper on her desk, then left without a sound, dragged the suitcase, and headed for the airport.
Anna was helping the gardener water the flowers in the back garden, and when she finished her work and returned to the house, she heard An Ning say, "Anna, let's make four breakfasts this morning."
"Eh? Isn't it five copies?"
"Rong Yan has returned home."
As soon as these words came out, she was stunned for a moment, and the towel in her hand shook and almost fell to the ground. Without saying a word, she ran up the stairs and knocked on the door of Olivia's bedroom.
The knock on the door was quick, completely different from her usual smooth and rhythmic knock on the door.
After a long time, Olivia did not come to open the door, so she could only grit her teeth and say, "I'm sorry."
After finishing speaking, she opened the door, and saw the young girl standing in the morning light, holding the note that Rong Yan left her in her hand, standing motionless.
Crystal clear teardrops flowed from the eye sockets drop by drop, and finally dripped on the thin paper, smudged.
There is only a short line written on the paper, which contains countless emotions—
Olivia, I'm sorry.
"damn it!"
She put on a coat directly, grabbed the paper, ran towards the door, and ran downstairs.
"Olivia..." An Ning looked at her in surprise, not knowing what she was going to do.
"Mom, where's Rong Yan? What about others?!"
An Ning's face was a bit ugly, and finally he said awkwardly: "He has already gone to the airport, and he is going back to China today..."
She didn't even wear shoes, she ran out of the house with bare feet, got into the black car, the driver was still smoking, frightened by the sudden appearance of Olivia, she hurriedly stubbed out the cigarette butt, waving her hands To disperse the smoke in the car.
"Olivia, are you going this way? Put your shoes on!"
But she didn't listen to An Ning's words at all, she said to the driver: "Take me to the international airport quickly, quickly!"
"You can't catch up, he has been away for two hours, and he is about to board the plane!"
She still didn't give up, the driver saw that his lady had given an order, how could he not obey, started the car, stepped on the accelerator, and sped towards the international airport!
Holding his mobile phone, Rong Yan lingered at the entrance of the security check for a while, his eyes turned to the entrance of the airport, the figure he had been waiting for did not appear for a long time.
He hooked the corners of his lips helplessly, and dragged his suitcase into the security check entrance. Less than ten minutes after he entered, An Ning rushed into the airport barefoot!
She also didn't care about her own image, poking her head out to look for Rong Yan everywhere.
Tears were streaming down her face, and she kept wiping the tears off her face with her wrist.
The soles of her feet were very cold, very cold, but her heart was even colder. After running through several security checkpoints, she finally gave up.
The rumbling sound of the plane before it took to the sky came from her ears, but at this moment, it turned into nothingness in her ears.
