"Hello, Mom."
"Familiar." Xia Jin suppressed her emotions before continuing, "You have been outside recently, did something happen to you?"
Ye Wen panicked inexplicably, did she know about her marriage
It shouldn't be possible, she doesn't play Weibo, let alone contact Ye Yuannian.
"No, I'm fine, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing, Mom is just a little worried, and wants to go and see you."
Ye Wen's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately said: "No need, mom, I'm really fine, don't worry." After a pause, "I'll go back to see you if there is a holiday for the Mid-Autumn Festival in a few days."
Xia Jin didn't say anything more. After a moment of silence, she answered "OK" and hung up the phone.
Ye Wen stood in the garden, looking at the darkened phone screen, always feeling a little uneasy.
In the past few years, because of Ye Yuannian, the mother and daughter had a rift. For a long time, Xia Jin didn't even want to talk to her, but now she takes the initiative to care about her... Could it be that he finally figured it out
Ye Wen was uneasy for a while, put away the phone, turned around and went back the same way.
Xie Shuo had already got up from the reclining chair, Ye Wen took his arm and asked him, "Shall we go to Grandpa's place for the Mid-Autumn Festival?"
Xie Shuo let out a "hmm".
Ye Wen discussed with him: "Shouldn't you need to stay overnight? I want to go away for two days."
After being married for so long and never seeing her go out alone, Xie Shuo felt strange and asked a little more: "What are you going to do?"
Ye Wen pondered for a while and said, "I want to visit an elder."
If it was an elder from the Ye family, she would have said it directly, or asked him to accompany her if she was so secretive, she must be a relative from her mother's side. Xie Shuo understood, he didn't ask any more questions, and said in a low voice, "You don't need to stay overnight."
Ye Wen felt relieved.
It's time to go back and have a look, otherwise her mother might be suspicious.
Alas, she is so difficult.
At this end, Xia Jin was holding the phone, standing at the entrance in a daze, and only walked in after a long time.
Instead of going to the kitchen to cook, she went to the bedroom to pack her luggage.
…
----
The next day, the sky was cloudy and breezy.
Xia Jin came out of the station, found a hotel to settle in, went downstairs and stopped a car by the side of the road.
It was already five o'clock in the afternoon when we arrived outside Ye's house.
The sky was dark, the autumn wind was blowing, and it was cold to the bone.
She hadn't set foot in this place for a long time, and the scene in front of her was both familiar and strange.
She rang the doorbell, and soon a servant came to answer the door. The servant did not recognize her and asked, "Are you...?"
Xia Jin gathered the dark red shawl on her body, and said in a cold tone, "I'm looking for Ye Yuannian."
Seeing her unfriendly attitude, the servant did not dare to let her in, and said, "Madam, may I ask you—"
Xia Jin ran out of patience and was too lazy to talk nonsense with her, so she pushed open the door, stepped on her high heels, and rushed in aggressively.
The servant's heart skipped a beat: Could it be that the flowers and plants that the husband raised outside came to the door? But it doesn't look right at this age!
Xia Jin broke into the living room, didn't see Ye Yuannian, but bumped into Jiang Luo who had just come down from upstairs.
The two had a meal at the same time.
Before coming here, Xia Jin specially changed clothes and put on makeup at the hotel. She is different from Jiang Luo's gentle painting style, with gorgeous and delicate eyebrows and eyes. She was also a rare beauty when she was young, refreshing and sassy, like Zhu Jinhua, but she has experienced too many changes in these years, and she has become haggard and older.
There was a sense of tension between the two of them when they met.
"Madam..." The servant chased in and explained to Jiang Luo, "She insisted on breaking in."
Jiang Luo took the next step and ordered: "Go and pour tea."
Xia Jin looked cold, and interrupted her directly: "I won't drink tea, where is Ye Yuannian?"
Seeing the anger on her face, Jiang Luo almost guessed why she came here, and said, "He's not here..."
Before the words fell, footsteps came from the door.
Seeing the extra figure in the living room, Ye Yuannian paused and his expression changed.
"You... why are you here?"
Xia Jin turned around, looked at him, and twitched the corner of her mouth sarcastically: "Why do I come, you don't know?"
Ye Yuannian froze, his middle-aged face turned pale for a while, and it was brilliant.
Seeing his reaction like this, Xia Jin's tone became more sarcasm: "Don't dare to say?"
Ye Yuannian said with a guilty conscience: "You know about marriage, you know? You sit down first, and I will tell you slowly."
Hearing the word "marriage", Xia Jin's heart was so suffocated that she almost couldn't hold back and went up to give him a slap.
"I don't have the time to tell you slowly, Ye Yuannian, let me ask you, did you force Daan to marry a blind man?"
Ye Yuannian knew that she was in a fit of anger, so he could only try his best to calm her down: "Calm down first, she is familiar with this matter and agreed to it herself, besides, with the background of the Xie family, she will definitely not suffer hardship when married..."
"Fart!" Xia Jin couldn't hold back anymore, and cursed directly, "The Xie family is so nice, why don't you marry her daughter over!"
She pointed at Jiang Luo, and Jiang Luo's expression changed: "You..."
One ex-wife, one current wife, the scene sounds like Shura.
Ye Yuannian was afraid that the two would quarrel, so he hurriedly stopped Jiang Luo: "You go upstairs first, I'll talk to her."
Jiang Luo was also angry, gave her a cold look, and went upstairs.
Ye Yuannian turned his head and turned to Xia Jin again: "If you have anything to say, please speak carefully..."
Before he could continue to defend himself, Xia Jin interrupted him with a sneer: "Speak well? Now that things have happened, you still want me to give you a good face? When you were forced to marry, you should have thought of today!"
She looked at him with a cold expression between her brows, and her words were like a knife: "Take your own daughter to pave the way for your own prosperity and wealth, Ye Yuannian, your conscience has been eaten by a dog?"
The words were too harsh, Ye Yuannian was poked at the sore spot, his face turned pale instantly, and he became angry from embarrassment: "Xia Jin!"
"Why, did I scold you wrong?"
Ye Yuannian's face was pale, and he was speechless for a long time, and he didn't know if he was angry, or he felt ashamed and had nothing to say.
The anger was almost vented, Xia Jin calmed down, the corners of her eyes turned red, and said, "I sent her back to you because I wanted you to take good care of her, not to let you spoil her like this..."
Seeing her like this, Ye Yuannian's tone also softened, and his expression showed a trace of fatigue: "This matter is really her own will, I didn't force her, and I have repeatedly confirmed with her..."
Speaking of it, Ye Yuannian also found it strange that in the past two years, Ye Wen seldom stepped into Ye's house, but that day he went home for a meal for some reason, and asked about the young master of the Xie family during the dinner. He only thought that she was gossiping and curious, so he told her about Xie Shuo's situation, and also mentioned that the Xie family was looking for a marriage partner.
She was silent for a long time after hearing this, and suddenly said jokingly: "Does the Xie family have any special requirements for the marriage partner? If I go, will they be able to see it?"
It was because of her two words that he really thought about it later and ran to ask her tentatively. In fact, if she said she didn't want to at that time, even if he wanted to climb up to Xie's house again, he couldn't help it.
Xia Jin didn't believe his words, but she didn't bother to quarrel with him anymore, so she said coldly, "Where is the address of Xie's house? Take me there."
Ye Yuannian hastily persuaded: "The marriage is already over, why are you making trouble now? If something unpleasant happens, the one who suffers in the end will be the one who suffers. I think Xie's family treats her—"
Xia Jin cut him off unceremoniously: "I don't need you to worry about that."
Ye Yuannian said again: "It's already here today, can we go tomorrow?"
Xia Jin raised her eyes, with a determined look on her face: "If you don't want to take me there, give me the address, and I'll go there by myself."
"..."
In the end, Ye Yuannian compromised: "You wait a moment, I'll go change clothes."
----
Xie house.
Ye Man finished pressing Xie Shuo's head, helped him up, looked at the sky outside the window, and said, "It looks like it's going to rain outside, we won't go for a walk today, how about watching a movie at home?"
Xie Shuo turned his head, his face was clearly written "not interested in not seeing".
Ye Wen hugged his arm, coquettishly in a soft tone: "If you can't see anything you can listen to, just keep me company. I haven't watched a movie for a long time." While talking, he was pulled up from the sofa.
Xie Shuo was so pestered by her that he had no choice but to acquiesce to her request in the end.
Ye Wen dragged him to the audio-visual room, carried his notebook and began to pick out movies. After picking and choosing, he picked a suspenseful horror movie that had a high rating recently.
Anyway, with Xie Shuo by his side, there is no need to worry about getting scared.
Ye Wen set up the playback, sat on the sofa with Xie Shuo, and took a thin blanket to cover the lower body.
Soon, the movie started to show on the screen wall. At first the picture was very dark, and then it lit up a little bit.
The picture and sound effects of this movie are first-class, and the horror atmosphere is also rendered full.
The audiovisual room was pitch black, with only the light on the screen in front of him, making the atmosphere even more gloomy.
Ye Wen stared at the screen with a tense expression, not even daring to take a breath. She was holding a pillow in her arms, but a scary scene with sound effects suddenly appeared in the movie. She trembled in fright, and the pillow rolled to the ground.
She didn't bend down to pick it up, instead she grabbed Xie Shuo's hand.
The man's fingers are slender like jade, and he feels quite safe holding it.
Xie Shuo felt the strength of his grasp, and "looked" at her expressionlessly. Although he was unhappy, he didn't break away.
A moment later, there was another creepy sound.
This time Ye Wen was so frightened that he shrunk into Xie Shuo's arms, tightly clutching the clothes on his chest.
Xie Shuo really didn't understand why she chose horror movies since she was so scared.
"It's so scary, did you hear that voice?" Ye Wen huddled in his arms, looked at the screen, and whispered.
The body in his arms is soft, the fragrance is faint, and the breath from his chest is also warm. Xie Shuo leaned against the sofa, feeling a little dry suddenly.
Hearing no response, Ye Wen raised his head, facing a handsome and indifferent face, with thin lips close at hand, breathing could be heard.
Such a dark environment, and such a close-fitting posture, it is too easy to breed ambiguity.
Ye Wen felt her heart skip a beat, and her face gradually became hot. She raised her eyes and looked at him quietly, forgetting that the movie was still playing.
After a while, a strong hand wrapped around his waist and groped along his back.
In the darkness, she saw his Adam's apple moved slightly, and his breath seemed to be heavier.
Ye Wen became nervous inexplicably, and subconsciously pursed her lips.
However, in the next second, she heard a low sound, as if cold water was being poured on her head—
"If you are so timid, don't look at it."
Ye Wen:? ?
At a time like this, shouldn't the normal direction of the plot be thunder and fire, and then something will happen naturally
After Xie Shuo finished speaking, he put down the hand on her shoulder.
It was probably his last kindness that he didn't directly pull her off his body.
Ye Wen felt empty in his heart, with a bit of dissatisfaction on his face.
She let go of him, sat back in her original position, and couldn't help complaining in a low voice: "There is no interest at all. I really don't understand how a person like you can marry a wife."
Although the voice was small, but Xie Shuo's hearing was sensitive, he still heard it.
He raised his eyelashes and said abruptly, "You have to ask yourself this question."
The implication is that you are my wife, why did I marry a wife, I should ask you.
Ye Wen: "..."
You are so good at levers, why don't you pry the earth up
Ye Wen was almost pissed off by him, and yanked the blanket: "I'm out of my mind, okay?!"
I will marry you only when my brain is flooded!
Xie Shuo's body felt cold, and his whole body was exposed outside.
Ye Wen crumpled the blanket into a ball, and the more he thought about it, the more he got angry, he grabbed the pillow on the ground and slammed it over.
Xie Shuo was hit straight on the face, his face darkened, and he suddenly said: "Are you dissatisfied with desire?"
"..."
Ye Wen immediately blushed, ashamed and angry, like a cat whose tail was stepped on: "Who wants to be dissatisfied? You are the one who desires to be dissatisfied!"
Hearing the sound of her blowing hair, Xie Shuo inexplicably felt a long-lost joy, and gently pulled his lower lip.
! ! !
Seeing the curvature of the corners of his lips, Ye Wen felt coaxed in his head, only feeling more and more ashamed and annoyed, as if he was running naked in public, even his toes were numb.
On the big screen, the horror movie was still playing alone, with weird sound effects.
She had nowhere to vent, so she kicked him in a fit of anger: "If you have the ability, you should live your life with abstinence and don't touch women!"
Ye Wen was not in the mood to watch the movie again, so he got up and angrily turned off the projection device.
Xie Shuo remained motionless, sitting in the dark.
Turning off the device, Ye Wen hesitated for a moment, then walked back to his feet, picked up the dropped pillow, touched his leg with his calf angrily, and said, "Don't look at it, go out."
Xie Shuo leaned forward, following the voice, raised his hand to touch her waist, and suddenly hugged her by the waist.
Before Ye Wen could react, she was hugged into his lap.
She froze for a moment, a little nervous for no reason: "What are you doing?"
Xie Shuo hugged her, and suddenly remembered the words she said softly that day under the sunset.
— "If your eyes are not good, we will be husband and wife for the rest of our lives."
He paused for a moment, then moved his hand up her shoulder, clasped her chin, and pressed his fingertips on her lower lip.
Then, he slowly kissed her.
Unlike last time, this time he looked calm, and there was no strong anger in his eyes.
Ye Wen smelled the clean breath on his body, subconsciously tightened the hem of his waist, and lowered his eyelashes slightly.
However, the moment Wen Ruan touched it, there was a knock on the door—
