"Yanyan, your income isn't that high, and the work here has only just begun. In the future, you will need to spend more money, so you need to save a little."
"Mom, look, this card of mine is about to expire soon. Otherwise, it will become invalid." He persuaded his mother to buy her a winter coat.
Zhou Hui tried to shirk the responsibility, but Zhu Ruiyan directly went to pay for it.
"Yanyan, you should also buy your own clothes. Your work requires a good image outside, especially for girls your age, who love beauty the most."
"Mom, I bought a lot." The present that Qin Yizhao gave her last time, she couldn't even wear it anymore.
As she passed the men's clothing counter in the mall, she had an idea.
However, she did not dare do anything, she did not know what to buy for Qin Yizhao, would Qin Yizhao accept her clothes? In the past, he would only wear clothing from foreign countries, it was just that she did not notice that he was wearing it recently, but with his identity, he would definitely wear a variety of clothes, what kind of gift would she give him?
"Yanyan, what did you see?" Zhou Hui asked as she watched her daughter staring at the man in male attire and not moving forward.
Zhu Ruiyan came back to her senses when she heard his mother's voice, and quickly replied, "Mom, I didn't see anything, it's getting late, let's go home."
"Well, let's go. I'll take the earliest train tomorrow morning."
"Mom, don't be in such a hurry to leave. Let me show you the sights of the city." The more Zhu Ruiyan spoke, the less confidence she had.
"What is so good about the city?" Zhou Hui and Zhu Ruiyan said, "The city is about the same as our city, it's just that there are more people there, and the price is a little more expensive.
"Mother, why do you have to live so hard?" She was so old, and yet she was going to give supplementary lessons for free. She really didn't want her mother to work so hard.
"There's something you need to do, so your heart won't be idle talkative." The two of them got on the bus back home. Zhu Ruiyan bought a lot of gifts for Zhou Hui at the shopping mall, and at the entrance of the shopping mall was a cigarette shop.
Zhou Hui said, "Yanyan, just forget about that person."
Zhu Ruiyan comforted his mother, "Mom, this person also treated us nicely. If not for him, I would have been bullied by many people when I was young, and if he didn't bully you now, we wouldn't need to hate him. Giving him those things was also my kind will, allowing him to treat you better."
Zhou Hui silently accepted it.
Returning home and switching on the TV, Zhu Ruiyan and Zhou Hui sat on the sofa to rest. Zhu Ruiyan poured a cup of water for their mother, but her mother did not react, she just stared at the television, thinking about something. Zhu Ruiyan turned her head to look at the television, which was news from the city.
The Secretary Lin was smiling, and was chatting amiably with Department Head Qin, Zhu Ruiyan felt a sense of familiarity from Department Head Qin's face, what does this person have to do with Qin Yizhao?
Both Zhou Hui and Zhu Ruiyan did not make a sound as they thought about their own matters.
Zhu Ruiyan regained her senses first, she did not know which person on the television screen her mother was daydreaming to. She opened her mouth first and said to her mother, "Mom, this Secretary Lin is very powerful. Our colleagues all said behind the scenes that he would go to the center. Mom, I've poured some water for you."
"Oh." Zhou Hui reacted from Zhu Ruiyan's shout, but the expression on her face was still abnormal.
"Mom, what is it?" Zhu Ruiyan asked.
"Nothing." Zhou Hui said before she continued to watch the television.
The television screen was a close-up of Department Head Qin, tall and smiling, appearing friendly and approachable. Zhou Hui just watched, her eyes focused on Department Head Qin, as if she did not care about what was happening around him.
"Mom, what's wrong?"
"Yanyan, don't talk." After Zhou Hui said this, she looked at the scene on the television. That Department Head Qin was still chatting amiably with someone on the television, she got up and went into Zhu Ruiyan's room, "I'll be quiet first."
Zhu Ruiyan didn't know what was going on, but when she saw that Zhou Hui had closed the door, she stopped asking.
Zhu Ruiyan felt that it was strange, why did his mother lose her composure when she saw the television.
Zhou Hui had already packed her stuff in the morning and left, so she sent her to the station. As Zhou Hui was leaving, she said, "Yanyan, it's Mother's fault."
"Mom, what are you talking about?"
"Yanyan, mom will apologize to you." Zhou Hui continued.
Zhou Hui got on the car and returned. Zhu Ruiyan didn't know why her mother said such words, she just felt that her mother had been weird since last night, but she didn't want to ask too much. When she got back, Zhu Ruiyan saw that there was still some balance inside the shopping card, so she got off the car and went to the shopping mall again.
She went to the men's clothing store where she had been stunned the night before and compared them carefully, choosing carefully. She took a plain shirt and a light tie to the checkout counter.
Qin Yizhao did not come over this entire time, nor did he call Zhu Ruiyan. Zhu Ruiyan remembered that today was New Year's Day, and since she had nothing to do, she made some dumplings. She went to the supermarket to buy some materials for the dumplings.
Just as she walked to the door of the dormitory, her phone rang. She saw the screen and her heart tightened. She pressed the button and asked in a low voice, "Where did you go?"
"Ah?" I'm downstairs at the door, what about you? "
"Hurry back." Then the call ended.
Was this person waiting for her? Zhu Ruiyan increased her pace, but even she did not realize it. With a smile on her face, her entire body jumped along with her heart, and as she walked out of her house, she calmed her agitated heart, found the key, and entered.
Qin Yizhao was really at home, leaning lazily on the sofa. He was still wearing his leather shoes, Zhu Ruiyan kept his slippers, and did not get any shoes to change with.
"When did you come over?" I'll get your slippers. " After that, he placed the present that he prepared for Qin Yizhao on the cabinet at the entrance and brought the things that were wrapped in dumplings to the kitchen counter. After washing his hands, he removed his thick clothes and went back to his room to rummage through the box, finding all of Qin Yizhao's things.
Qin Yizhao did not even glance at her, he just stood there unmoving, looking at something in his hand.
Zhu Ruiyan arranged herself for a while, and then handed over his slippers. Qin Yizhao completely ignored her, so Zhu Ruiyan could only help him change them.
Zhu Ruiyan was nervous when she received this kind of gaze. Of course, other than nervousness, there was also something else in her heart.
Other than the cold gaze from Qin Yizhao, he did not reveal any other expression on his face.
"When did you arrive?" Zhu Ruiyan helped Qin Yizhao change back. She then took the shoes that Qin Yizhao was originally wearing and put them into the shoe shelf.
"Where did you run off to?" Qin Yizhao asked.
"I sent my mom home in the morning, then went to the mall to buy some things. I even went to a supermarket." Zhu Ruiyan reported truthfully.
"Nothing else? Where's Zhang Shuai? " Qin Yizhao asked repeatedly, as though he wanted to ask something.
"No, he …" "Last night …" She wanted to say that he had something else to say last night, but she didn't.
Qin Yizhao quietly stared at Zhu Ruiyan and continued to ask: Why did you go to see him last night?
"Yes …"
"Zhu Ruiyan, you are really disobedient." The question Qin Yizhao wanted to know, was not for Zhu Ruiyan to answer at all, but instead, came one after another, making it impossible for Zhu Ruiyan to even say what she wanted to explain.
Qin Yizhao suddenly stood up, and with a stride, he pulled Zhu Ruiyan over. A hand caressed Zhu Ruiyan's cheek, and then he lowered his head and kissed her lips tightly. This was a type of punishment, a punishment unique to her.
Zhu Ruiyan's heart skipped a beat. If he wanted to resist, Zhu Ruiyan's other hand was covering her black hair.
Qin Yizhao fiercely kissed her. Her cheeks, her neck, and even her lips had no warmth.
After that kiss, Qin Yizhao's voice was extremely soft, but the warning tone was very strong. "You know who you are now, so be careful when you're flirting with other men."
Zhu Ruiyan was startled, then immediately explained, "Last night, she accompanied my mother there."
"What's your mother doing there? Could it be that she wants you two to make up? "
Zhu Ruiyan wanted to divulge the truth. Her own sister was involved with her former boyfriend, but she couldn't say it out loud. In front of him, she wanted to maintain her dignity.
Qin Yizhao stared fixedly at Zhu Ruiyan, and only after a long while did he continue to ask, "You better answer me carefully, tell me, what were you doing last night?"
Zhu Ruiyan stuck her head out, not daring to look at him. Taking a deep breath, she said, "I just wanted to find him to talk about something. Nothing else."
She replied lightly, as if it was really that simple, yet Qin Yizhao was unable to repress his anger, "Didn't you go with your mother? Where was your mother? Did you guys sneak into the coffee shop with my permission? "
Zhu Ruiyan had nothing to say, and quietly lowered her head.
Qin Yizhao sneered from the side, and smashed his fist on the sofa, "You guys are really in love with each other, you actually knew that scum like that, and you still ran over secretly to pull on him. I don't understand, what is that scum's place that makes you so mesmerized? You think you can't get along with him like this? "
Zhu Ruiyan stood quietly at the side, as though she was invisible. She looked at her slippers, which had a cartoon animal on it, and its expression seemed to be filled with ridicule. However, after so many years, why hadn't she seen through it?
If she had seen through that person, she probably wouldn't have pestered him for so long. Maybe she was living a different life now, but life is a matter, loop after loop.
Qin Yizhao stared at Zhu Ruiyan and did not say a word, he was gloomy. The lighter lit up a cigarette, and smoke filled the air.
Zhu Ruiyan looked at the hazy smoke and tightened her grip on her. In the end, she still said something, but there was a sense of release in her voice, "He didn't make me lose my mind, she did make my sister lose her mind."
Qin Yizhao heard and looked over: "Who?"
