Su Yi was stunned. His hands holding the suitcase were tense as if he had been slapped in the face. All the words he wanted to say fell to the ground with the tie and floated back to that night five years ago.
After being rejected by Lan Fuchu, she endured the humiliation and got into a taxi. Then, although she rarely cried, she cried all the way back home in the taxi.
On the first day she lay in bed, almost dead, motionless, refusing to eat or drink.
The same thing happened the next day.
On the third day, her lips were dry, so she got up and walked down the stairs to the first floor to drink water. Due to her absent-mindedness and emotional instability, she twisted her ankle and fell down the stairs. Then she lay quietly on the ground, not wanting to move at all, thinking that it would be nice to die like this, but her feet just hurt and there was no possibility of death. She finally got up and drank the water like a zombie.
On the fourth day, she finally got up, but she looked lonely, neither sad nor happy. She watched several plays by herself and did not laugh at the whole process. However, when she went upstairs, she saw the blanket that Lan Fuchu had given her and became crazy. She grabbed the blanket and ran out of the house barefoot. After running for a long distance, she threw the blanket into the trash can. Then she scolded herself for being pretentious, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and walked back home in dejection.
On the fifth day, the secretary of my mother's company called her and said that my mother was very unstable after meeting a client. She ran to a supermarket on the roadside and ate chocolates without thinking. She ate a lot of chocolates, and her mouth was full of chocolates. Many passers-by took short videos and posted them online. The owner of the supermarket called the police, and they suspected that she was mentally ill.
Su Yi took a car to the police station to pick up her mother. Her mother, who had been conscious and talking to her a few nights ago, was like a drowning person today. She lowered her head in extreme sorrow, huddled her body, and was unwilling to communicate with anyone.
Su Yi sent Lu Zhen to a nursing home and asked about her mother's condition. The sanatorium said that her mother had fallen ill. Once bipolar disorder sets in, she will lose all desire to live and it will last for at least half a month to a month. She will feel that death is the only way to get rid of her suffering. Caring for such a patient requires extra care, so they suggested that Su Yi leave Lu Zhen in the nursing home.
Su Yi placed her mother in a nursing home. Seeing her lying on the bed with no desire to live, she hated Su Youzhang to her heart's content.
What kind of fucking love is this? It has done such a thing to people. What’s the point of this fucking love
On the way back, she looked at the trees outside the window with a confused expression.
At the same time, a voice in my heart told me: You have been the same these days, haven't you? You are tired of the world and live in a daze, just like a mental illness. Maybe in a few days, you can almost lie in a sanatorium for treatment...
She tightly grasped the hem of her skirt and told herself: No, he doesn't love me, I can let it go, I don't have to torture myself like this, live in disgust and depression, I hate love in the first place, I just touched it accidentally, it's okay, I can let it go, time can heal everything...
She kept telling herself this sentence, and after a long time, she began to forget how she fell in love with Lan Fuchu. She only remembered that she liked him, but why she liked him had become very vague. She only knew that she had figured it out and no longer liked him. Later, she gradually adapted to it and returned to her previous cynical state.

Su Yi looked at the tie falling to the ground with a dull expression. Then, as if she remembered something, a trace of pain flashed across her eyes. Then, she no longer cared and turned away quickly.
She did not pick up the tie, but walked out of the Lan residence without looking back. After she had walked for a long distance, she covered her chest, which was feeling a bit suffocated.
Lan Fuchu watched her open the door and leave, and he felt an inexplicable pain in his chest. For a moment, he wanted to keep her, but he also knew Su Yi's character. Once he made a decision, he would not change it. Why should he say those useless words
He turned around expressionlessly and went into his room.
After a while, he opened the door, with a cold and violent look on his face, and went to look for the lost tie, but it was gone. Lan Fuchu was stunned for a moment, and went downstairs with a gloomy face, "Sister Jing, Sister Jing..."
"Master." Sister Jing came out of the kitchen with a puzzled look on her face.
Lan Fuchu said coldly: "Where is the tie I left in the corridor just now?"
“I saw it thrown on the ground, so I took it to wash.”
"Who told you to wash it? Go and get it."
"Yes." Sister Jing was frightened and hurried to get it.
She had never seen the young master so angry. She had worked in the Lan residence for several years. Apart from being silent and taciturn, the young master had no other shortcomings. He never even lost his temper. This was the first time she saw him lose his temper. She did not dare to delay and took the tie out of the washing tub.
The tie returned to Lan Fuchu.
He took it, thought for a moment, and then felt it was an eyesore. He threw the tie in front of Sister Jing again, his jaw tense, and said, "Take it and throw it away."
"What?" Sister Jing thought she had heard it wrong.
"Take it and throw it away."
"Oh oh." Sister Jing didn't dare to waste a second and immediately responded. She bent down and picked up the tie on the ground. At the same time, she was very confused: Doesn't the young master like this tie very much? He wears it almost every other day, why is it so strange today? It's a bit unpredictable.
Sister Jing thought to herself, holding the tie and was about to throw it away.
Lan Fuchu pursed his lips.
Sister Jing went into the kitchen and just as she opened the trash can, Lan Fuchu came again.
Sister Jing immediately broke out in a sweat, "Master, I was just about to throw it away."
Lan Fuchu glanced at her, his expression did not improve at all, on the contrary, it became even more sinister and frightening, "Give it to me."
"What?" Sister Jing felt that she didn't understand again.
"Give me the tie." Lan Fuchu said.
Sister Jing frowned and handed over the tie tremblingly. Could it be that the young master disliked her and wanted to punish her on purpose
This time Lan Fuchu really took the tie, was silent for a moment, and left with the tie.
He entered the study and walked to the cabinet where Su Yi's old things were kept. He opened it, threw the tie in, closed it, and stopped thinking about it.
Anyway, it has been like this for so long, so there is no need to care about it happening one more time.
He rubbed his eyebrows, returned to his desk, turned on his computer, took a deep breath, and got busy.

U.K.
Su Yi, wearing a white coat, rubber gloves, and transparent protective glasses, was busy in the brightly lit research institute.
There was an error in Alan's program, so the entire institute was helping Alan reprogram it. Su Yi was one of them. His fingers kept tapping on the keyboard, occasionally stopping to think and then continuing to type.
Before I knew it, a few days had passed, and there was no day or night in the institute.
In the afternoon, Su Yi was so busy that she felt sleepy, so she went to the tea room to make some coffee. Mu Nanxi followed her in and handed her an exquisite gift box, "Here... this is for you."
"For me?" Su Yi paused holding the coffee. "Why?"
"Aren't you with the squad leader? This gift is jointly given to you by Yan Tong, Lu Zhan and I. It's not expensive, but the sentiment is great. My friend, please don't look down on us for being so shabby."
"Ah?" Su Yi was stunned. "How do you know that Lan Fuchu and I are together?"
Mu Nanxi laughed, "Because you called me after you got drunk that day, and you called me Xiao Daibi and asked me to pick you up. When I heard that, I knew you called the wrong number, so I asked you a few questions, and you told me everything. You also said that you two got married, and now legally, you are called a legal couple, right? Hey... Although you two didn't have a wedding, we are all her family after all, so we won't be stingy with the gifts..."
After hearing this, Su Yi remembered that day when she went drinking with Xiao Xiao. She drank too much and made three calls in total. One was to Fu Jinglun, one was to Mu Nanxi, and the other was to Lan Fuchu, so when Lan Fuchu rushed over from the charity banquet, he saw Fu Jinglun hugging her.
Thinking of this, her expression became dazed. She had rushed here from the banquet specially... Sometimes, he was so considerate that it made people's heart move, but sometimes, he was so cold and resolute that it made people's teeth ache.
When I opened Mu Nanxi's gift, it turned out to be a diamond necklace. The main diamond was at least several carats, LC grade, and very pure.
Originally it was a very happy thing to receive gifts from her friends, but now, she was a little overwhelmed.
They gave her gifts with their heartfelt blessings for their marriage, but they didn't expect that the relationship between them was not even love, let alone marriage, and it was the kind that broke up in an instant.
Su Yi held the necklace, not knowing what to do with it. After a moment of silence, she said to Mu Nanxi, "My friend, you should keep it for now. When I really get married and wear a wedding dress, it won't be too late for you to give it to me."
