“Wow, where did you get such a cool toy?” Ziggy crouched down with the child, “Daddy bought it?”
Little Bean was so excited to play that he didn’t bother to look sideways when he spoke to her, “Auntie Xi gave it to me.”
Auntie Hei?
It seems that this is the gift Su Xi brought back for the little thing from Switzerland.
Zi Ge leaned over the bed and sat down on the floor, looking at the child who was not happy, “Auntie Xi seems to be very good to Little Douzi, oh, she specially brought you a gift from Switzerland.”
“Hmmm. Auntie Xi is the best to me at this time when Mommy is away.” Little Bean replied sweetly.
“So does Little Douzi like Auntie Xi?” Zige asked tentatively, looking at the child’s sweaty head from playing, and drew a tissue to wipe his forehead.
“Of course I like it. Auntie Xi likes Little Douzi, and Little Douzi likes Auntie Xi.” The little guy replied innocently, bumblingly bringing his face under her hand to make it easier for her to wipe her sweat. Following that, mischievously stealing a scent on her face, “Thank you mommy. Actually, Little Douzi’s favorite is still Mommy!”
This little thing!
Ziggy cracked a smile all of a sudden. Because of the little one’s last words, her heart was much happier for a moment.
It seemed that Su Xi and Little Douzi were on good terms. In the future, if he left and Su Xi was really with Lan Yu Feng, Little Douzi wouldn’t be missing anything, right?
Thinking like this, she should feel happy, but …
When she thought of their family of three, Zige’s chest felt inexplicably stuffy and uncomfortable.
Look at the child and smile away bitterly.
It seems like she’s really gotten into it too much, it’s only been a short time and she actually doesn’t want to give up her little bean to anyone else …
This sucks!
Today, the entire administrative top floor of the QU Group was cautious, and the working atmosphere seemed particularly depressing. Everyone in the secretary’s office was tense, always waiting for instructions from Assistant Yan Nan.
The president has never been a rude and impolite person, but the only day of the year that is particularly strange. There are always endless faults at work. At this moment, the new little secretary was again being trained inside, and the cadre of people outside were also numb, only feeling miserable. Carefully doing things, afraid of accidentally touching the minefield.
“Everyone cheer up, tomorrow the president is on vacation, come over the day after tomorrow and everything will be back to normal.” Yan Nan came over to get the data presented by the accounting department, while calming a few secretaries.
“Assistant Left, what the hell is wrong with the president? How come there is such a day every year?” Someone asked strangely.
Yan Nan’s face changed slightly, very serious, “Being here means doing your job properly, don’t ask what you shouldn’t.”
The other man spat out his tongue and snapped his neck back, “Got it.”
Yan Nan took the information and left. Looking at the closed door of the president’s office, he couldn’t help but shake his head. Today was the anniversary of Old Mr. and Mrs. Lan’s death, it was inevitable that Mr. Lan would remember those sad pasts, and naturally, his temper could not get any better.
After a full day, when it was time to leave work, everyone hurriedly swiped their cards and left.
Yan Nan knocked on the office door and reminded the man still crouching on his desk, “Sir, it’s time to go off duty.”
“Go ahead, you don’t need a ride today.” He didn’t look up.
Yan Nan wanted to say something, but knowing his boss’s temperament, he silently retreated without saying anything.
If he had decided on something, he had always disliked people to talk more. Moreover, today was a special occasion, and every year on this day, he had to stay alone for a long time.
The night, deepening.
Lan Yu Feng finally tiredly waved away the documents in his hand and threw them to the corner of the desk. Turning off the desk lamp on the side, for a moment, the entire office was plunged into boundless darkness.
Turning the swivel chair around, he leaned there wearily, his eyes silent as he watched the heavy curtains open little by little.
The silky moonlight outside the window diffused in. The moonlight was as cool as water, shining on that overly good-looking face, making him look a little pale. Below the window, there were thousands of lights shining in unison. One by one, the lights were lit up like a vast sea of stars, dotted in the boundless night.
Such a scenery was shockingly beautiful, but, looking at the bottom of his eyes was just endless desolation.
No more lights, none of them are lit for him. No more homes, none of them existed for him.
He has no home …
Long ago, many, many years ago, he became a homeless child.
Slowly closing his eyes, his mind could not help but recall the image of his childhood when he was forced by his mother to jump off the cliff. Even after so many years, I still can’t forget the moment when that bullet hit my knee, how much that kind of pain eats away at my heart and bones.
At this time, the office door, suddenly knocked.
His thoughts were interrupted and he frowned sternly, “What man?”
Raising his hand, he lightly touched the desk lamp, and the entire office finally had some light in it. But even so, the somberness in the air could not recede.
“It’s me. Can I come in?”
Su Xi’s voice came over, and the vigilance in his heart relaxed slightly.
“Come in.”
When the words fell, Su Xi came in, carrying something in her hand. She was a big star on screen, but at the moment she was dressed simply.
A goose-yellow t-shirt with simple jeans and a hat on her head, letting her ponytail come out of it. Without the glitz and glamor of the stars, it looks a little more alive.
“What brings you here?” Lan Yu Feng turned around and looked at her.
“Knowing that you’re definitely staying here today, you didn’t have dinner, did you?” Su Xi was familiar with him. Although she didn’t know what day today was, however, she also knew his habits on this day. Putting the meal she packed from home in her hand on the table, she raised her head and looked around the entire office, “Why are the lights turned on so dim?”
When she finished speaking, she pressed her hand on the light switch and the whole office lit up.
With the sudden bright light, Lan Yu Feng felt a bit blinded and couldn’t help but raise his hand to block it.
Su Xi took off her hat and casually placed it on the sofa. Walking over to the desk, she pulls out one food item and pushes it in front of Lan Yu Feng like an offering, “Eat it, it’s still hot. I avoided the assistants and ditched a few reporters before I managed to run to you.”
Lan Yu Feng glanced at her and said flatly, “I don’t have an appetite.”
Su Xi was a little frustrated, her shoulders slumped, “No matter how bad you feel, you still have to eat, right? Try a bite, maybe it tastes good and you’ll get addicted to it.”
Su Xi attentively handed over the chopsticks.
Lan Yu Feng didn’t pick it up and only said, “You put it away, I’ll eat it later.”
Su Xi looked at him, his entire complexion was taut. The line of sight fell to the window again, and under the reflection of that bustling night scene, his flawless handsome face was obscure and uncertain, his body looked as if it was shrouded in a cloud of haze.
He was harboring a big scar in his heart, and Su Xi was aware of it. Even after so many years had passed, this scar had not healed. From time to time, it would jump out and make him isolate himself from the entire world, making it impossible for people to get close or figure it out.
His world, he alone will always exist. No one else, don’t even think about walking in.
“Brother Yu Feng, why don’t you try to spare yourself?” Su Xi was heartbroken.
“What are you trying to say?” He glanced sideways, but his eyes were devoid of emotion.
“Zhuo Yunruo you obviously didn’t love, but you married back. Now since you are no longer together, why don’t you find another one? Find someone you truly love!”
Lan Yu Feng smiled sarcastically, the bottom of his eyes all indifferent, “Who is the one I really love?”
“Try to open your heart, and you’ll realize there are a lot of people worth loving with all your heart.” Like her.
For so many years, her heart, never changed. Even if, with her eyes, she watched him marry Zhuo Yunruo.
It wasn’t that Lan Yu Feng didn’t understand Su Xi’s hints, but he kept his lips pursed and didn’t say a word.
Love, such a thing was too luxurious for him. Many, many years ago, he had no heart, so where would be the ability to love people?
Love is something that will one day be far away from him, like before. So, over the years he had long ago learned not to move his heart, not to move his love.
Su Xi was not an uninterested person, the words had been said like this, but he did not show the slightest indication, the meaning was already more than obvious. She wasn’t in a hurry and only changed the topic without moving, “Tomorrow I took a day off with the company and want to take Little Douzi out for a walk. Will you go together?”
“There’s a parent-child activity in the kindergarten tomorrow, I’ll accompany Little Douzi.” Lan Yu Feng returned to her.
“Ah … it seems like it’s not really a coincidence.” Su Xi was quite regretful and put the bento he wasn’t interested in back away again, “Then we’ll just have to take him out next time.”
Late Night.
Zige did not sleep soundly. There was still no movement downstairs, and it was obvious that until now, Lan Yu Feng had not returned.
At her side, Little Douzi hugged her arm, sleeping soundly. Under the moonlight, the child was wonderful like a little angel, innocent and flawless. Zi Ge couldn’t help but gently plant a kiss on the child’s head before quietly getting up, taking the cup on the bedside and going downstairs, wanting to go pour some water to drink.
Walked straight down the stairs, turning on a small lamp in the hall along the way. He was about to head for the kitchen when he heard a slight movement at the door.
He’s back?
Setting down his cup, his legs moved uncontrollably toward the door.
Just walked over, the heavy door, at first was pushed open from the outside. She froze, looked up, under the dim light, only to see the long figure leaning against the door frame, cane in his hand, looks like it is very hard to stand.
“You’ve been drinking?” Ziggy asked.
The air, thick with the smell of alcohol, was obvious.
Lan Yu Feng raised his eyes to look at her, his eyes obscure. He didn’t say anything, and Zige was worried that he wouldn’t be able to stand, so she walked up to help him.
Lan Yu Feng had drunk a lot of wine and was a little drunk. The moment she came up, he immediately lost his strength and his entire body almost collapsed towards her.
Caught off guard by the pressure, Zi Ge retreated two steps in a row, followed by her entire body collapsing to the ground in a state of disarray. Losing his support, Lan Yu Feng followed suit and the two immediately rolled into a ball.
He, then, pressed against her.
That burning male breath, blended with the mellow aroma of wine, was scattered on the side of Zi Ge’s face. Under the dim light, only his slightly panting breath could be heard. Zige’s heart was tightly taut with a string, as if it was going to be picked off at any moment.
“Are you … okay?” She licked her dry lips before she gasped out a question.
Lan Yu Feng didn’t move, his entire body was still pressed against her. She could clearly feel the firm and powerful muscles underneath her, ironing tightly against her skin. Under the dim light, the only thing left around was each other’s ragged panting.
Lan Yu Feng didn’t say anything, just propped himself up on one arm and half-volted. He then hung his head and gazed at her cheek.
Those eyes, silent as the stars in the midnight, looked at her without waves. The loneliness that haloed under her eyes spread over the sky, causing Zi Ge’s heart to tighten little by little.
This man … has an untouchable scar in his heart and eyes …
