Kawakami Mizuki

Ye Ling woke up from the bed tiredly, hurriedly washed and took care of everything, put on a coat, walked to the parking garage and drove the car out.I previewed the process of today's meeting in my mind, and I was relieved after confirming that it was correct.She looked up at the red light, rested her elbows on the edge of the car window slightly, and took a nap with her forehead.

The fatigue caused by lack of sleep for many days is getting worse, but he likes this work mode like a masochist.

His eyes fell on the outside of the car window, and sporadic little snow fell down, gently covering the branches.There are few pedestrians on the road, and buildings of different heights are lined up on both sides. The whole city presents a gray-toned silence, as if sleeping in a dream.

The world is so quiet.

Blank like a piece of paper, and lightly blown by the wind...

Tired to the extreme, as if his thoughts had gone blank, Ye Ling returned home in a daze, took off his shoes and socks and fell on the bed.A mechanical female voice came from the small radio on the bedside table, "There was a car accident in our city this morning, and the owner suffered severe brain trauma..." The overly cold English accent seemed rigid, as if someone had strangled his neck .

Ye Ling turned over a little irritably, but quickly fell asleep because of the tiredness accumulated for many days.

"Ding-dong-"

"Ding-dong-"

"Ding-dong-"

I don't know how long I slept, but I was woken up by the doorbell.Ye Ling couldn't bear it anymore and got up and opened the door, determined to teach the guy who disturbed her drowsiness a lesson.

The door opened.

The long snow-white dress fluttered, and the person outside the door had long hair swaying to the floor. Her hair parted in the middle covered the end of her hair, but it couldn't hide her flirtatious eyebrows and eyes. A pair of black eyes looked at her with obvious smile.

Ye Ling froze there for a moment.

Seeing that Ye Ling didn't intend to invite himself in for a long time, the people outside the door feigned anger and said angrily: "It was agreed at the beginning that you would take care of me, even if I am late, you are not allowed to go back on your word!"

Ye Ling suddenly reached out and hugged her, buried his face in her shoulder, his voice choked with sobs.

"An An..."

"An An..."

Lin Chuyi's gaze softened, and she also reached out to hug her, stroking Ye Ling's back comfortingly.

"Well, I'm here."

After the two hugged for a while, Ye Ling took Lin Chuyi into the room and sat down.Looking at this person who I think about day and night, I can't take my eyes off him for a while.

Lin Chuyi felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by her, and said helplessly, "Why are you staring at me and giggling? I..."

Before he finished speaking, Ye Ling suddenly kissed her lips, which was slightly cool to the touch, with a cool fragrance.

Lin Chuyi seemed to be startled, and opened her eyes wide.

Ye Ling was a little apprehensive: "Sorry, will you blame me for being abrupt?"

Lin Chuyi tilted her head and smiled slightly.

"No. You can do whatever you want."

"Qian, I'm going back first, you send these documents and let them finish them before handing them in."

"What's the matter with you these few days? Suddenly enlightened?" Jian Qian asked a little puzzled.

Ever since she was poached from abroad by Ye Ling, she has seen how hard this guy works.Although she had persuaded her more than once, Ye Ling never took it to heart, why did she suddenly change her temper?

But Ye Ling who left in a hurry didn't even hear what she said, and disappeared.

Ye Ling stepped up the small stone steps, took out the key and unlocked the door. With a "click", Ye Ling pushed open the door, and as expected, she saw Lin Chuyi sitting on the window sill in a daze, her absent-minded eyes gradually came alive when seeing her.

She smiled and said, "You're back." Her voice was soft.

Then he jumped off the window sill, stepped on the clean white tiles and threw himself into her arms.

Ye Ling patted Lin Chuyi's back lightly, his heart filled with infinite satisfaction and peace of mind.

Ye Ling leaves home every morning and returns in the afternoon.Lin Chuyi just stayed at home quietly and waited for her to come back.

In fact, Ye Ling had selfishly thought about not giving Lin Chuyi the key to her house, and locked it when she went to work every day, so that Lin Chuyi would not leave her secretly.But out of reason, she still gave Lin Chuyi the key and told her that she could go for a walk to relieve boredom.

But Lin Chuyi had never left the house alone.Even if he goes out with Ye Ling, he never talks to others, and just responds to polite greetings with a smile.

Ye Ling's answer to this was: "She doesn't speak English."

Lin Chuyi was wandering in the world alone like this, and her only support was Ye Ling.

Such a feeling.Ye Ling looked at her figure with a complicated expression, feeling a little guilty, but uncontrollably, secretly joyful.

Lin Chuyi never complained, she always just smiled and didn't care.But Ye Ling could also faintly feel that she was not happy.

Sometimes Lin Chuyi would lie on the table and draw a picture, always drawing the lonely boat in the ocean that was scribbled with a water-based pen.Ye Ling asked her why she only drew this, Lin Chuyi tilted her head and asked her, "Don't you like it?" Ye Ling didn't answer.

Since then, Lin Chuyi has never painted any paintings.

That day, Ye Ling hurried back as usual.

Lin Chuyi sat sideways on the window sill, leaning her head against the window frame, her slender hands gently clinging to the iron railing.Under the slender eyelashes, a pair of empty eyes fell on an unknown place.The sun was setting and the sun was shining through the iron bars, reflecting both light and shadow on her.The light-colored petals fluttered down to her hair.

Like a ceramic doll in captivity.

For a moment there was an overwhelming sense of guilt.

Ye Ling immediately took Lin Chuyi back to his hometown thousands of miles away.Since then, she has never been so impulsive.

Jian Qian took over Ye Ling's work with a bitter face, and Ye Ling took Lin Chuyi to travel all over the country.

But Lin Chuyi became more and more unhappy.

The two rented a small wooden boat and sat snuggled up on the bow. The hull shook slightly, feeling like it would capsize at any time.

Lin Chuyi supported her head, eyes half closed, "You know I won't be happy like this."

"I know," Ye Ling stood up slightly, kissed her on the center of her brow, and wrapped her waist tighter with his arms, "I know."

"But I can't bear to be separated from you any longer."
