"His mother is in very poor health, and Scar has been in the hospital recently."

Ye Fei was faintly disturbed: "Then the two of them..."

Chen Jiajun shook his head slowly.

Ye Fei asked: "Has Scar and his father-in-law's house reconciled? Can I take the child to see his grandmother?"

"It's not easy to handle." Chen Jiajun briefly recounted how Scar had forcibly taken Achai away, skipping the section where he and himself were detained by the police.

"I haven't heard you talk about such a big thing."

"Knowing that you are thinking about Chloe, it also makes you anxious."

Ye Fei knew that he was right, it was inevitable that he was a little lost, and nodded.

Chen Jiajun comforted her: "I can do everything I can."

"I believe..." Ye Fei said, and suddenly thought, "When did it happen? You didn't contact me for a while, didn't you go to other islands, did you deal with the scars?"

Now that she thought, Chen Jiajun no longer concealed it and nodded.

"I understand, I can't help... But these things, I still want to know." Ye Fei shook his hand and saw in his eyes, "Don't worry, I won't mess up my mind or say anything Consolation. Because your handling method is definitely better than I thought. I just hope that you can talk to me when you encounter things that don’t go well with you. If you say it, you will feel better. And, no matter what you do. , I support you."

Chen Jiajun's heart warmed, and he pulled Ye Fei into his arms to hold him, and felt the hair on top of her head brush against his chin, soft, with a fragrance of flowers and fruits.

Ye Fei asked: "If they are not there, will the store be very busy?"

"It's okay now. In December and around the New Year, the manpower will be a bit tight. I have been thinking of a solution these two days."

"December, a few days have passed." Ye Fei suddenly said, "No wonder..."

"Ok?"

"It's no wonder you look so worried this time." Ye Fei was buried in his arms, "You don't tell me... I'll be thinking about it."

"When I left this city, I didn't think I would come back again." Chen Jiajun said frankly, "But before I came this time, I didn't think so much."

She asked dullly: "I didn't think so much, what did I think?"

"I just think you are here and want to see you."

Ye Fei was sweet in his heart, holding Chen Jiajun's cheek, stroking the familiar outline. He also looked at her tenderly. Ye Fei stopped his finger on his brow bone: "Hey, why is there an extra scar?"

"where?"

"Here, there is a small pit." She digs, "Really, there is no one before."

It was the scar on the brow when the police station came out. Chen Jiajun said lightly: "Oh, I accidentally bumped into the boat."

"Too careless." Ye Fei groaned, "It must have been broken."

"You found all of this."

"Of course." She was proud, "I remember everything about you. Don't keep it from me in the future!"

Chen Jiajun smiled and kissed her lips again and again. Ye Fei cocked his mouth and smiled: "What's the matter?"

"I have to remember your things too."

"Don't remember this," Ye Fei smiled, "because only I can kiss you."

When returning from Sentosa, the crimson red of the sunset gradually faded, the sky and the ocean changed to cool gray-blue, bright lights in the distance lit up, stars dotted, row upon row of tall buildings like gorgeous crystal boxes, and the quiet night The embellishment is romantic and beautiful.

There is a restaurant near the cable car station. The seat reserved by Chen Jiajun is on the edge of the terrace, facing the faintly blue bay. A string of golden lights on the railing spreads the hazy halo, the night breeze is blowing, and the dense trees are under your feet. Swaying.

The elegantly dressed and courteous waiter led the two to their seats and presented the menu. Ye Fei glanced at the customers around him, feeling that his attire was too casual, and leaned forward and said in a low voice, "Why don't you say a word? I came here wearing slippers."

He didn't take it seriously: "It's good to be comfortable when you come out to eat."

Ye Fei flipped through the menu, only to think that English was like learning in vain, and many dishes were incomprehensible. Looking at the small print below, there were many ingredients that were not fully recognized. She murmured, "What is this all about? Come on."

"What are the taboos?"

"I am Chinese and I can eat everything."

Chen Jiajun explained one by one, Ye Fei ordered a red rosemary lamb chop, and two desserts. The rest were left to Chen Jiajun.

The candlelight flickered, the guests whispered, and Ye Fei calmed down. She didn't eat much at noon. Now she feels comfortable and her appetite is restored. She was afraid that she would gobble it up, deliberately slowing down, sipping lemon ice water.

Chen Jiajun asked: "Not delicious?"

Ye Fei leaned over, eyebrows crooked: "I'm afraid that my voice will be too loud and affect others."

"Then let's eat quickly and go back after eating."

Ye Fei lowered his head, pretending to cut the lamb chops seriously, holding back a smile: "It's you who said I won't go out, you will be anxious to go back when you come out."

Chen Jiajun laughed at her: "It's because you have become a lady, not used to it."

When the two desserts were served, Ye Fei didn't care about her demeanor. He smiled and digs into the raspberry mousse cake with a small spoon. After eating half of it, he pushed it to Chen Jiajun: "One half, I want to taste yours too. "

The lava cake and ice cream in front of Chen Jiajun didn't move a bit. He turned the plate around and said, "I will give it to you."

Ye Fei squeezed his arm: "It will be fat."

"In just two days, I can eat in a row, and where can I get fat." He glanced at Ye Fei, "I don't mind if you grow more meat."

She sat upright, straightened her chest, raised her chin, and whispered: "What do you mean?"

The chocolate cake has a rich aroma, the mellow flavor spreads in the mouth, and the cool ice cream has a delicate and wonderful taste. Ye Fei ate happily, and the melodious violin sound came from her ears. She turned her head and glanced, the musicians were standing at the table of a couple in the room, the tunes turned gracefully, and there was a bouquet of delicate roses on the table. "Whose song is this?" she asked Chen Jiajun.

He chuckles: "Do you know everything as I do?"

"Then I trust you... It sounds familiar."

Chen Jiajun listened intently for a moment: "It should be Robert Schumann (Schumann)."

"Hey, you really know."

"My little girl has practiced piano since childhood and always played for us." Chen Jiajun replied, looking up at the voice, startled, then smiled, raised his red wine glass, and bowed in the air.

"Do you know?" Ye Fei looked over. The man at that table was about the same age as Chen Jiajun, and he looked plain, but his manners were moderate, and his gentle expression revealed a modest rigor. His female companion only saw a slender figure from the back, with her hair in a bun, revealing a smooth neck.

"Old friend." Chen Jiajun sipped a sip of red wine, "Go and say hello later."

When the song was over, the man offered a rose and kissed the female partner on the cheek. When he got up, his eyes came again, like a calm and silent invitation. Chen Jiajun said to Ye Fei: "Let's go over." He turned behind Ye Fei and helped her to open the seat.

"KC, long time no see." The man stretched out his hand, "When did you come back to Singapore?"

"Just arrived yesterday." Chen Jiajun shook his hand and nodded to the other party's female partner. She was a little surprised, looked at Chen Jiajun, her eyes stopped on Ye Fei again. Seen from behind, she was slim and slender, and when she turned around, she saw her belly bulging under her cream-white evening dress.

Chen Jiajun put his hand on Ye Fei's back and introduced: "These two are my old friends: Zou Zhiqiang, his wife Huang Biling." He looked down at Ye Fei and smiled, "My girlfriend, Ye Fei. ."

Ye Fei shook hands with the two.

Zou Zhiqiang asked Chen Jiajun: "How long do you plan to stay this time?"

"Three or four days." He took Ye Fei's hand, "mainly to see her."

Zou Zhiqiang smiled politely: "Miss Ye is so young, she is still studying."

"Oh, I am about to graduate with a master's degree. This time I will come to Singapore for a meeting."

Zou Zhiqiang heard her accent: "It turns out that Miss Ye is not a Singaporean."

"Well, I'm from Beijing."

"First time here? Have you looked around?"

"Yeah, but I was in a meeting a few days ago, and I was free for these two days."

Chen Jiajun looked at the two, calmly: "Unexpectedly, I met here by such a coincidence. When will the baby be born?"

Zou Zhiqiang took his wife's shoulders, couldn't hide the joy in his heart, and said with a smile: "It's the end of February."

Chen Jiajun nodded, smiled and said, "Congratulations in advance."

Huang Biling has a fair face, moist and delicate skin, a pair of jet-black almond eyes, half drooping eyelids, and her gaze is peaceful, a kind of tranquility that will be a mother. With a gentle voice, she asked Chen Jiajun: "Did you go to see Brother Jiacong?"

"It may be too late, let's talk about it." He looked calm, "I want to see some partners when I send Ye Fei away."

"Oh, everyone in the store is okay?"

"After changing a lot of people, you probably know Scar. He is taking care of his mother."

"Where is Boss Zheng? Is he okay?"

"Yeah." Chen Jiajun nodded, "There is no big problem in the re-examination."

A few people wentssiping again, and Ye Fei only thought that they were friends whom Chen Jiajun had met in Singapore, and followed by greetings. She had just drunk a few glasses of ice water. She stood for a while and couldn't help but want to go to the bathroom, halfway through her mind, trying to control her expression and manners. After finally returning to the seat, she couldn't hold back a little while sitting firmly. We greeted Chen Jiajun in a low voice, walked through the hall, and opened the door of the bathroom, shocked. The outer room is a spacious and bright lounge, simple and elegant, with a whole floor-to-ceiling window; when you turn to the inside, it is a small compartment with a door.

Before leaving the house, Ye Fei was washing his hands while looking at the brightly lit harbour in the distance. In surprise, he ran to the window to take a look. The rainforest in front of him was deep and quiet, and there were no other buildings around, but who knew the people at the bottom of the mountain and on the cable car. Can you look over it? She thought that Chen Jiajun should be asked to see if the men's bathroom next door had the same structure and orientation. Girls can close the door here, and there is an extra circle in the men’s bathroom.

Thinking about it, Ye Fei couldn't help but laugh, thinking that Chen Jiajun must sneer at her peculiar concern.

Pushing the door, he happened to meet Zou Zhiqiang at the corner of the corridor. Ye Fei nodded, thinking that he couldn't greet him carelessly: "You are here too."

About to pass by, Zou Zhiqiang stopped: "Miss Ye is the first time to come to this restaurant."

He asked abruptly, Ye Fei was taken aback, nodded and said: "Yes, it's the first time I came to Singapore, and I haven't turned around much yet."

"There is a viewing platform over there, the scenery is good." Zou Zhiqiang half raised his arm and pointed the direction. "If you don't mind, I will show you."

Ye Fei was puzzled, didn't he come to the bathroom? Or plan to go to the terrace alone to see the scenery? Ignore my wife

Out of courtesy, I haven't figured it out yet, but people have followed him for two steps.

Going out from the glass door on the side, you are instantly surrounded by humid and warm air, and you can smell the rain forest mixed with trees and mud. Zou Zhiqiang asked, "How long have Miss Ye and KC known each other?"

"Just call me Ye Fei." She thought for a while, "It's almost a year since we know each other."

"It's on the island."

Ye Fei nodded: "Have you been there too?"

"Many years ago."

"Oh, it must have been more beautiful back then." Ye Fei smiled enviously, "I heard Jiajun said that before, there were fewer tourists and it was more natural. Underwater corals are healthier and more beautiful than they are now."

Zou Zhiqiang replied: "I don't go to the island much, and don't dive much."

"Singapore is so convenient to travel and dive everywhere. If you find a point of interest, you may become addicted."

Ye Fei speaks well, watching the other person always calm, feeling that he is saving others by himself, imposing personal interests on others, and hastened his tone, changed the topic, and asked: "You and your wife have known each other for a long time?"

"Oh? Can you tell?" Zou Zhiqiang smiled and asked with interest.

"The temperament is similar, let's influence each other."

"Almost thirty years."

Ye Fei was surprised: "Wow, is it possible that you have known each other since childhood?"

"Yes. The relationship between the parents of the two families is very good. We grew up together."

"My childhood sweetheart, being together since I was young is really enviable."

Zou Zhiqiang looked slightly different, and smiled: "It's not that long. Today is the second anniversary of my wedding and Jocelyn."

When just standing and chatting, Chen Jiajun felt that Ye Fei looked strange and his smile was very stiff. He thought she had heard Huang Biling's name from someone else, and returned to her seat to explain. He didn't expect Ye Fei to run to the bathroom impatiently with a happy expression of finally being saved. Seeing her half-eaten dessert, Chen Jiajun frowned, thinking about how to discuss this topic with her. After thinking about it, she raised her head and looked in Huang Biling's direction.

Zou Zhiqiang was not in the seat either, she was the only one, looking over silently, the eyes of the two people met.

Huang Biling came here in style and stood at the table: "Can I sit here for a while?"

"Of course." Chen Jiajun got up, helped her pull the chair away, and sat down beside Ye Fei's seat.

"Long time no see." Huang Biling whispered, "You haven't been to Singapore in these years."

Chen Jiajun sighed with emotion, and shook his head slightly: "The shop is busy and there are too many things. There is nothing important, so I won't come over."

"I wanted to ask, how are you doing." Huang Biling smiled lightly, glanced at Ye Fei's empty seat, and caught a glimpse of the two dessert plates in front of her, "Looking now, it should be pretty good."

"Yes." He thought of Ye Fei, feeling relieved, "How about you? How are you recovering?"

"It's not bad. I go to see a doctor occasionally." Huang Biling said, "Did you know, we went to Bintan Island not long ago and lived in a resort by the sea."

Chen Jiajun praised sincerely: "Is that right? That's pretty good."

"I'm still a little flustered, so I live on the second floor and didn't live at the beach." Huang Biling shrugged, her playful expression flashed, "I still feel emotional when I return to the beach. Fear, I feel very happy to be able to face it again."

"Take your time, now that you can speak frankly about this is a great improvement." Chen Jiajun was relieved, "I am very happy to see you getting better."

"I'm very happy to see you again." Huang Biling lowered her eyes, "Actually, when I was at the beach... I thought of you, but I couldn't find a reason to contact me. I never had the opportunity. I'm sorry to you."

He smiled faintly: "You have said that many times."

"I have said that I was not sincere at the time and felt that the whole world owed myself." Huang Biling looked at him, "Now, I am sincere and sincere. In those two years, you have worked hard."

"Those psychological factors are beyond personal control. Don't blame you, you have nothing wrong with you, and you don't need to apologize to me." Chen Jiajun felt relieved, "It's good if you can be happy."

"Me too, I hope you are happy and happy." Huang Biling's eyes were full of tears. She picked up the tissue and wiped the corners of her eyes. "You and Ye Fei are in a good relationship, right?"

Chen Jiajun smiled and nodded.

"She is pretty and carefree. You deserve to be with such a girl."

Chen Jiajun looked at the seat beside him, and it was still empty. After ten minutes had passed, Ye Fei still did not come back.

Hearing these syllables of Jocelyn, Ye Fei stood still on the spot as if he had been cast a holding spell. Her mind was blank, she didn't know what to say, time passed slowly, and every second seemed to be extended indefinitely.

She didn't even know what kind of attitude she would treat Zou Zhiqiang with. Before today, her cognition of him was just a vague identity: Jocelyn's old classmate, the person who snatched her from Chen Jiajun after she experienced the physical and mental damage caused by the tsunami.

In Ye Fei's view, this person and her would not have any intersection. She had no time to imagine his appearance and character, let alone what she should say when she was alone with him. Now she is forced to think. Obviously, you can't be too polite to him. After all, Chen Jiajun was depressed at the beginning, and it was difficult for this Mr. Zou to get out of the relationship. However, Zou Zhiqiang is not completely on the opposite side of his own. He wins love first, and then he has the opportunity of himself and Chen Jiajun.

This relationship is really very delicate.

Of course, Ye Fei did not spend too much time thinking about how to face Zou Zhiqiang. Her mind was filled with another thought in an instant—it turned out to be Jocelyn.
