Just as I was about to fall asleep, the plane landed.
"little bluegrass, we have arrived. It's time to get off the plane."
"What's wrong?" Yi Xudong asked with concern. He raised his hand to touch my forehead: "Is there a fever?"
His hand paused in the air for a few seconds. The atmosphere was slightly awkward. After pausing for a while, he nonchalantly withdrew his hand and pretended that nothing had happened. With a gentle smile, he said, "Let's go."
I nodded and followed him off the plane.
I think my evasion should be enough to let him know what I mean, and I hope we can keep our distance, which is good for both of us.
On the first day after getting off the plane, Yi Xudong gave me a break. He told me to adjust my condition for a bit, and I would start working the next day.
So I lay in my hotel bed and slept until twelve in the afternoon. If I wasn't so hungry, I wouldn't have had a problem sleeping until twelve at night.
But I didn't expect to actually meet Jin Zicheng here.
Standing in the elevator, I looked at the tall figure at the mouth of the elevator and involuntarily took a step back. He looked at me, but I didn't dare meet his gaze. Finally, just as the elevator doors were about to close, he pushed his way in.
It was an ingenious timing, and I could only watch as the elevator doors closed behind him. There was nowhere to run.
He nudged me to the corner of the elevator and sneered. "Weren't you pretty unreasonable a few days ago? What? Why do you have to hide when you see me now? "
My heart tightened. I knew it was a gamble. That's true, I guess he was the first one to yell at her. Under such circumstances, it would be weird if she could smile and destroy her grudges.
I forced a smile and said, "Your highness, the Crown Prince doesn't care about this. Can you spare me this time?"
"Spare you?" There was no anger in his face, but his voice was very cold. " Then what are you going to exchange for it? "
I tried to maintain a smile that was about to go stiff, but I wasn't sure. I can't see through Jin Zicheng, and I can't even guess whether he's angry or not. If he is, how angry would he get?
"Accompany me for an afternoon stroll." I was trying to figure out what to do when I heard him say this to me.
"Huh?" I was stunned for a moment.
You're letting me go just like that?
Jin Zicheng smirked at me. "You still want me to repeat myself?"
"No, no, no!" I rearranged my smile, which was less stressful and a little more relaxed.
"Then... Where do you want to go? "
"Follow me first..." He stopped abruptly and looked at me strangely.
There was nothing more awkward than this. I held my stomach, which was still rumbling, and wished I could bury my head in the ground.
Jin Zicheng looked at me coldly for a moment before changing his words. "Let's go eat first."
This meal was actually not a pleasant one, because Jin Zicheng had been staring at me with a gaze that was close to being ruthless. I was so nervous that I didn't know how to put my hands and feet, and I even felt like every mouthful of food I ate had turned into a knife, slashing down my esophagus and piercing into my stomach.
When I was forty, I pushed the bowl away and said, "Let's go."
There was a strange silence as they got into the car. With a cold expression, Jin Zicheng drove the car silently. The car wasn't as fast as last time, but it was moving forward at a steady pace.
Music was still playing in the car, it was the kind of cheerful and gentle tune that little girls liked. It was nice to listen to, but it didn't seem to be the style that Jin Zicheng liked.
But to be honest, I don't know him that well.
The road was bumpy and uneven, and if I didn't have a seat belt, I would be swaying from side to side.
But then a blue sea appeared in front of me. The sunlight was shining on the surface of the sea, making it look extremely beautiful.
I exclaimed softly.
Jin Zicheng looked at me. "Let's watch and see."
I nodded.
"The three of us used to come here a lot." Jin Zicheng's voice became warm and gentle as if it was a rare occurrence. "How great it was then …"
Three? My keen senses told me that there must be a story behind it, but I was afraid of encountering this young master, so I just listened quietly, not daring to make a sound.
The car stopped, and Jin Zicheng got off, standing by the ocean, the waves rushing up and splashing his expensive shoes and clothes, but he didn't care at all.
His face was soft and quiet in the sunlight.
"Qing He," he opened his mouth to call me, "You said that I don't understand you, but do you understand me well?"
I opened my mouth, unable to speak.
He looked at me with a hint of indifference in his eyes. You just think I'm high and mighty and that money can settle everything. But some things, can money be exchanged for? "
I was silent for a moment and was about to say something nice to flatter me. He turned his head away from me. "If you're going to say something about flattery, I'd advise you not to say it. It would be more pleasing if you just stood there quietly."
I shut up and heard his sarcastic laugh.
We didn't stay here for long, after Jin Zicheng stood here for a while before returning to the car in silence.
For the next four hours, like this, he drove in silence somewhere, down the station for a while, and then on to the next.
He didn't talk to me much later, so I just watched in silence, a quiet listener.
When night fell, he took me back to the hotel. I stood there looking at his back, feeling that he was like a mystery, making it harder and harder for me to see through him.
When I got to the door of the hotel, I saw a woman in a long dress standing in the doorway of my room.
Perhaps at the sound of footsteps, the woman turned her head.
"Miss Yu?" I asked in surprise. " Why are you here? "
With that, I understood, what else could she do, it must be for Yi Xudong.
"Are you looking for President Yi? He's not here. " "If you want him, you can call him."
Yu Ziqing shook her head and walked in front of me. Only then did I see the red rims of her eyes and the bloodstains in them.
However, what I was more concerned about was what she said next.
She said: "I'm here to look for you, Qing He."
