Chapter 57 Yu Xi is a completely different person from before
On Christmas Eve, Jiang Yi accompanied Ye Xingzhou to the reception until late at night.
Ye Xingzhou was discussing next year's business with the people around her, while Jiang Yi sat on the side alone, raising his glass wearily.
The alcohol tolerance seems to have been practiced ten years ago. After that incident, I couldn’t fall asleep no matter what, and the sleeping pills didn’t work, so I just drank every day.
Someone came over to talk to him: "Miss Jiang?"
Jiang Yi nodded lightly.
She is wearing a red dress, which is made of velvet material that fits the festive atmosphere. The off-shoulder design wraps around the chest, exposing the right-angled shoulders on both sides.Minimalist tailoring, the waist is a bit like a cheongsam, and one side is slit to the thigh. She is sitting, revealing a piece of white skin.
It was originally a sexy design, but once worn by her overly cold temperament, it has a kind of alienation of "still holding the pipa and half covering the face", and it has become a temptation of another taste.
Jiang Yi could see Ye Xingzhou glancing at her from a distance, what were the people around Ye Xingzhou talking about?Or do you say "Mr. Ye is very lucky"?Jiang Yi looked away, stood up and walked to the window.
Tonight's party will be held in the most high-end clubhouse in Beicheng, with a huge floor-to-ceiling window, illuminating the best view of Beicheng.The modern city and the ancient old houses blend in front of you, one on the left and one on the right, outlining the unique temperament that only belongs to Beicheng.
Then, patches of drifting snow covered everything.Past, future, even present.
People who live in ice and snow for a long time, even the fingertips are so cold that they are numb.
The person who spoke came over with a wine glass: "It's snowing."
Jiang Yi: "Yes."
"I don't know if Ms. Jiang has heard a saying?" The person who spoke smiled: "If it snows for the first time on Christmas Eve, then the wishes made that night will come true."
Jiang Yi responded lightly: "Really?"
She doesn't really believe in the blessing of the gods. If there are gods, things don't seem to come to this point anyway.
She held a glass of wine and looked down the window. Today is Christmas Eve, it is late at night, and the street is still not empty. It seems that a group of young people who have just broken up from a party walked by shoulder to shoulder. One of the girls obviously drank too much Yes, constantly waving his arms, as if singing.
Did you just come out of KTV?
Jiang Yi couldn't help but glanced again, although she was in a tall building, she couldn't see clearly from such a distance.
It's just that the publicity and happiness of the young people, she seems to have lost it before she had time to possess it.
At this moment, she missed a young face so much, sensitive and stubborn, cold and flamboyant, with a faint stitched scar on her forehead, as if no secular rules could stop her.
She couldn't help but looked at the group of young people passing by downstairs again, but looked too hard, and could only see her own face reflected on the glass, sparse and haggard, like a flower that had lost its vitality .
She said to the person she spoke to, "Sorry, I drank too much."
Walking to Ye Xingzhou again, he lowered his voice and whispered in her ear: "I want to go first, Xiao Min is here to pick me up."
The person who spoke to him looked at Jiang Yi's back, his demeanor was cold and pure, but he couldn't stop his graceful figure from a distance, looking like a plant with spirits from a distance, no wonder people often said that this woman's beauty has become a legend.
It's just that Ye Xingzhou glanced over coldly, and he quickly took his eyes away.
Next to Ye Xingzhou was a gray-haired old man, and he was the only one who asked Ye Xingzhou to offer a toast tonight. The old man's identity was more mysterious than Ye Xingzhou's. No one knew who he was, but his status could be imagined.
Jiang Yi came over to talk to Ye Xingzhou. Although the old man would not take the initiative to talk to Jiang Yi, he still glanced at her indifferently.
Ye Xingzhou nodded at the old man and took Jiang Yi aside.
"No." Ye Xingzhou said, "You can't go first."
Jiang Yi: "Why?"
Ye Xingzhou: "Because you want to be with me every second."
Jiang Yi lowered her head and smiled, this was the first time she laughed tonight.
She raised her head and said, "Sometimes I feel that you have grown up, and sometimes I feel that you are still the same kid back then, there is no difference."
Ye Xingzhou's eyebrows twitched, and his face finally returned to expressionless: "There is a difference." Her gloomy voice carried a kind of threat: "My ability is much greater than before."
Jiang Yi smiled again: "Really?"
She reached out and patted Ye Xingzhou's shoulder, as if to comfort a wayward child: "I'll go first, that's it."
This slap made Ye Xingzhou feel an unusual aura. Since that incident, Jiang Yi has been very careful not to have any physical contact with her.
Ye Xingzhou looked at Jiang Yi's back: "Ran Ge, don't leave."
Jiang Yi kept walking, her gloomy voice almost turned into a low voice: "Jiang Yi!"
Jiang Yi looked back at her, but still left.
******
Jiang Yi asked Ni Min to pick him up, and on the way back to Biyunju, he received a call from Duo Duo: "Aunt Ran! I don't want to spend the holidays in the hospital!"
Jiang Yi went around to the hospital to pick up Duo Duo, and Duo Duo got into the car, hugging her waist all the way, like a small animal that has been lonely and abandoned for a long time.
Jiang Yi hugged her and asked, "Duoduo, do you want to go abroad for medical treatment?"
Dodo looked up at her: "Auntie said it would be very painful to go abroad for medical treatment."
Jiang Yi nodded: "It will be very painful."
Dodo: "Does it hurt more than now?"
Jiang Yi: "During the treatment, the pain will be ten times worse than now, but if it is cured, it will no longer hurt in the future. Do you want to go?"
Dodo fell silent.
Many times, Dodo loses control of her emotions due to illness, and Ye Xingzhou acquiesces that she is much more childish than her peers. No matter the bedroom or ward, they are all built according to the favorites of five or six-year-old girls.
But at this moment, Dodo thought for a long time in Jiang Yi's arms, rubbing her forehead against the edge of Jiang Yi's velvet dress: "Aunt Ran, I want to go."
******
When Ye Xingzhou came out of the reception, his face was full of displeasure. The driver could feel the low air pressure of the car while driving, and stepped on the brakes and accelerator carefully.
Just now Jiang Yijuechen left, but this reception is too important, she must stay till the end.
Now she was sitting in the back seat holding a silver cane, her voice was so dark that she could squeeze out water: "Hurry up!"
The driver was so scared that he kicked the accelerator and rushed out.
The car raced all the way to the entrance of Jiangyi's villa, and when it braked suddenly, there seemed to be a slight sound under the wheels. Maybe it hit something, but it shouldn't be a big thing. Ye Xingzhou didn't care about it now, so he put on his coat and got out of the car with a silver crutch.
The driver drove away, and a dim light in front of the villa illuminated Jiang Yi who was wrapped in a black coat.
Jiang Yi should have heard the sound of her car and came out to wait for her.
Ye Xingzhou said coldly, "Go in and talk."
Jiang Yi shook his head: "Just say it here."
In Jiang Yi's heart, Biyunju is like a swamp, filled with a miasma of chaos called "the past", obliterating her and Ye Xingzhou, swallowing her and Ye Xingzhou.
Ye Xingzhou's face was colder than tonight's snow: "What are you going to say to me?" But she probably had a premonition of what Jiang Yi was about to say, and her hand holding the silver walking stick trembled slightly.
Jiang Yi first said something equally important: "I want to send Dodo abroad for medical treatment, aside from the two of us, you know it will be good for Dodo."
Ye Xingzhou: "She will be in unbearable pain, and the treatment will be abandoned halfway. At that time, she will suffer the pain, and the disease will not be cured."
Jiang Yi: "Duoduo is almost ten years old, I asked her, this is her own choice."
Ye Xingzhou was silent.
Jiang Yi: "And..."
Ye Xingzhou suddenly interrupted her: "You know that kid in Zhuzhen, what's his name? Yuxi, right?"
Jiang Yi's eyes were similar to those at the reception, looking at her like looking at an overly capricious child.
Jiang Yi said: "Don't mention Yu Xi, when Yu Xi was in China, I knew very well what you could do. But now Yu Xi is going abroad, you check her so carefully, you know the project she is involved in now No matter how high the administrative level is, you are a businessman, for the sake of Jianing Group, it seems that you shouldn't do anything to Yuxi."
Ye Xingzhou: "Yu Xi is going abroad, what about you? Can you leave?"
Jiang Yi looked at her, the snow that had fallen all night fell on her eyelashes, Jiang Yi suddenly remembered that when she first met her, she was a very cute child, her long eyelashes made her eyes look like puppies filled with steam , but the expression on his face was very stubborn, followed behind Jiang Yi and Ye Guanshan, mumbled and took an ice cream handed by Ye Guanshan.
Now that cuteness disappeared from Ye Xingzhou's face, and the past dragged her into the lair of time, leaving a gloomy shadow on her face.Her shadow was dragged very long by the street lamps, covering Jiang Yi like a shadow: "Your bank card, ID card, and passport are all with me, and you can't go anywhere."
"Even if you go, can you survive? You have only been able to act since you were a teenager, and you know very well that I will not let you act."
Jiang Yi lowered his eyes.
What Ye Xingzhou said was the truth.
The shackles of emotion and reality, like a tight net, once trapped her tightly.
What Ye Xingzhou said, she knew that Ye Xingzhou could do it. Like her, Ye Xingzhou is a person who has a lot on the surface but actually has nothing.When a person is in a desperate situation, he can do those ruthless things.
Is Jiang Yi afraid?She used to be very scared, as Ye Xingzhou said, she has only been able to act since she was a teenager, and she has nothing to do, what else can she do?
But at this moment, she looked down at the snow, and for some reason there was a broken apple on the ground, just beside Ye Xingzhou's wheel, maybe it was crushed by the wheel.
This apple appears strangely. Could it be that some child dropped it here?It's just that Jiang Yi looked at the apple, and for no reason remembered that the day she went to visit Ye Guanshan's grave, Yu Xi was holding an apple in her hand, with her tooth marks on it, even her tooth marks were stubborn.
Jiang Yi made up her mind, and said to Ye Xingzhou, "It's not that I can't live."
Ye Xingzhou squeezed his cane tightly: "What?"
Jiang Yi smiled: "It's not that I can't live, as long as I'm not afraid of being poor."
******
Time passed quickly, and Yu Xi never saw Jiang Yi again.Regarding the matter of being a tutor for Dodo, she resigned smoothly. Dodo quietly told her that she was going abroad for medical treatment, and maybe in the future, her back would never hurt again.
After the final exam, when Yu Xi was packing up her things, Meng Chenchen couldn't help crying: "What's the hurry? Can't we leave after the new year?"
It's not impossible, it's just that Yu Xi is a person without a home, so it doesn't make any difference to her where she celebrates the New Year.
At the airport, the sadness of parting faded away, because Shu Xing was going to study abroad, so he simply went with her.
Yu Xi's phone rang when she was checking in. She guessed it was because the school was going through various formalities during this period, so she didn't rush to look at it.After passing the security check and thinking about going to the bathroom first, Shu Xing called her back: "I'll help you get your phone and bag."
Yu Xi handed it over.
After watching Yu Xi go to the bathroom, Shu Xing slid open her cell phone, maybe because she has never used electronic devices since she was a child, Shu Xing often felt that Yu Xi didn't look like a modern person, the cell phone didn't even have a password.
She opened the message that Yu Xi had just received and hadn't had time to read, and suddenly remembered the note that Jiang Yi asked her to hand over when she left Zhuzhen more than a year ago. It is still in her wallet and she hasn't read it for a long time. After passing, I wonder if the paper has turned yellow.
She took a slight breath and deleted the information on Yu Xi's phone.
When Yu Xi came out of the bathroom, she saw Shu Xing sitting on the waiting chair reading a book, and smiled when she saw her coming, and returned her bag and mobile phone to her.
Yu Xi: "Thank you."
She looked down at her phone: "Huh?"
Shu Xing raised his head from the book: "What's wrong?"
Yu Xi: "When I first checked in, there was a message on my phone, but now it's gone."
Shu Xing explained: "Mobile phones often do this, and it may just be a delayed notification sound for read messages."
Yu Xi didn't care too much: "Yes." If there is something important and the news is missed, the other party will naturally contact her again.
After a while, the boarding announcement sounded.
Shu Xing stood up: "Let's go."
Yu Xi: "Yes."
She put her backpack on her shoulders and glanced at the security checkpoint.
Shu Xing asked her, "What's wrong?"
Yu Xi withdrew her gaze: "It's nothing, let's go."
what is she looking at
Do you still expect that person to appear suddenly?
The plane flapped its wings and slid over the clouds, Yu Xi opened the porthole, and there was only a sea of clouds left outside the window.
Everything in Beicheng, everything in Zhuzhen, the good and the bad, the things that can be let go, the things that can't be let go, no matter what, they have all been left behind by her.
******
Six years later.
Meng Chenchen started tidying up after returning home from get off work, changed three sets of clothes, and finally chose a dress that she thought was the most professional, and began to put on eyeshadow and eyeliner again.
Her girlfriend, Wang Na, was cooking the noodles: "It's beautiful, Mr. Meng! Aren't you going to meet the girls you know well? Why are you so nervous?"
Meng Chenchen came over and pointed to his face: "How old do you think I am?"
Meng Chenchen was born with a baby face, plus she had no major pursuits and no worries. After graduating from undergraduate, she worked as a counselor while studying in graduate school. After graduating from graduate school last year, she successfully stayed in school and bid farewell to the academic field. In college, they are often identified as sophomores.
Wang Na: "You look...to the death of twenty?"
Meng Chenchen was discouraged: "I haven't seen Yu Xi for six years, I don't know how she has matured."
Wang Na: "But you sisters are really good enough, let me see you sometime."
Meng Chenchen waved: "You, a liberal arts student, what do you do when you meet someone else's great engineer?"
Wang Na: "She is not only popular in the academic field now! She is even more popular than many celebrities!"
Meng Chenchen: "Let's talk about it after seeing your performance. We can't do it today. Don't disturb us to catch up on the old days."
Wang Na kindly reminded: "Don't think too much about it, people are so popular now, maybe they are not as close as they were with you back then."
Meng Chenchen shook his head violently: "It's impossible for Yuxi!"
Seeing that it was running out of time, Meng Chenchen drove out to the airport in a hurry. Fortunately, the traffic jam today was a little better than she thought. Meng Chenchen rushed to the airport to check his watch. It was 10 minutes before the plane landed.
She took out her mobile phone and waited while watching the drama. After all these years, her habit of chasing dramas has not changed.
I don't know if it's because the earphones are used too often, but her earphones are always broken. One earphone is silent, and the chatting voice of the two girls who pick up the airport comes in: "What was the name of the show you watched last time?"
"The overall plot of "Wind Forest Crossing" is pretty good, but the heroine's appearance is a little bit down. In the original book, she is obviously the number one beauty in the martial arts world. I don't know why she was cast as the leading actress. She looks like this and everyone wants to die for her. Live?"
"Now, how many actresses are there who can shock people with their appearance? After Ge Huang didn't act much, there is only one such thick-faced beauty, Jiang Range..."
"Don't mention Jiang Range! The house has collapsed like that and you still mention her!"
Meng Chenchen silently paused the video on the phone, and the frozen image on the screen happened to be Jiang Yi's side face.It was an old movie that Jiang Yi acted in the United States, a bloody romance drama with a sci-fi skin, but Jiang Yi was so beautiful in it, Meng Chenchen didn't know how many times he watched it over the years.
In the past six years, Jiang Yi has not acted in a new film.
Not to mention passers-by, even many diehard old fans have announced that they have quit their fans, and all her videos have been taken off the shelves. If Meng Chenchen hadn't saved the download version in his phone, he wouldn't be able to watch it now.
Now she has to hide people behind her back when watching Jiang Yi's old movies, otherwise a bunch of people will scold her.
In fact, after Jiang Yi's incident was exposed, she didn't know why she still wanted to watch Jiang Yi's drama.
Maybe it was because Yu Xi was drunk in her sophomore year, and she and Jiang Yi met once at the barbecue stand on College Street.
At that time, Jiang Yi took a photo with her, because she was short, and she squatted down beside her very intimately, and a very fresh fragrance from her body got into her nose.
She always felt that Jiang Yi was not that kind of person.
At this moment, she checked that the time was almost up, so she put away her phone.
She didn't want Yu Xi to see Jiang Yi's video.Six years have passed, Yuxi probably doesn't think of Jiang Yi anymore.
It was only after she fell in love that she realized what happened to Yu Xi and Jiang Yi.
She originally thought that Yu Xi was a junior whom Jiang Yi knew, a child whom she loved very much, but now that she thought about Yu Xi's eyes when she mentioned Jiang Yi, it was not like that at all.
And when she was watching Jiang Yi's old movies one afternoon, she suddenly discovered that Jiang Yi had a pair of peach blossom eyes?
She immediately went to search Jiang Yi's previous interviews, and finally connected the small town Jiang Yi described with Yu Xi's hometown, Zhuzhen.
It turned out to be the case.
It was that summer that made Jiang Yi's peach blossom eyes grow into Yu Xi's heart.
At this time, the airport broadcast sounded, indicating that flight MU2415 had arrived.
Meng Chenchen concentrated his attention, and looked in the direction of the passenger exit.
A series of passengers came out in a file, all with a face of trekking, Meng Chenchen looked at it for a long time, but couldn't find the face as cold as a clear stream in his impression.
At that moment, her reaction was that Yu Xi won't be ugly, right?Immersed in the academic ocean for so many years, maybe the appearance is not as good as it used to be, and it has become unrecognizable to everyone.
She hurriedly glanced at the pile of dusty passengers again, and there was indeed no one who looked like Yu Xi.
until the crowd dispersed.
A slender figure came out pushing a luggage trolley, wearing a long khaki windbreaker against the wind at the airport, wearing a pair of light blue jeans, with shoulder-length neat short hair, wearing a mask, most of his face was covered, and his forehead was exposed Fair enough to reflect the light, and more importantly, those eyes are calm, rational, and indifferent, like the clearest stream.
Meng Chenchen waved excitedly: "Yu..."
Halfway through shouting, I feel wrong, even though Yu Xi is wearing a mask, her tall figure, chic steps, and only half of her face showing, have already attracted many people to look here, but, is she not As an entertainment star, the public is not so familiar with her, and it is difficult to imagine what her private life is like. No one recognizes her with certainty.
Meng Chenchen changed his words: "There is a teacher!"
Yu Xi finally had a smile in his cold eyes, pushing the cart towards Meng Chenchen, Meng Chenchen ran over, Yu Xi smiled and asked: "What did you call me?"
"Aren't I afraid of exposing your identity?" Meng Chenchen said with a smile: "Isn't Yu's left half just there? I'll call you a teacher from now on."
Yu Xi smiled helplessly: "Does anyone have a surname?"
Meng Chenchen looked Yu Xi up and down: "Yu Xi, you're doing like this now, are you planning to make the little sisters crazy?"
In the past, when Yu Xi was in college, the total amount of clothes for her whole body did not exceed 200 yuan, and she relied entirely on her appearance and temperament to support herself. Before she went abroad, she even provoked a group of seniors and sisters to rush to the top.
But now, Meng Chenchen looked at Yu Xi's exquisite attire: "He has become a social elite."
Yu Xi glanced at her: "You are calling me? Little Douding."
Meng Chenchen: "What the hell is Little Douding?"
Yu Xi patted her on the head: "Why do you think you haven't changed at all from six years ago? You still look like a college student."
Meng Chenchen sighed: "I'm also worried, why do you think I have such a baby face? Do you know that the students don't accept me?"
As he said that, he couldn't help but start to look at Yu Xi again: "It's you, it feels completely changed from before, the milk dog has become sister Yu."
Yu Xi: "What a mess..."
Meng Chenchen felt that Yu Xi seemed to talk a little more than before, and his personality seemed a little more cheerful than before, and he didn't know if it was her illusion.
Everything shows that Yuxi is a completely different person from before.
While talking about Yu Xi's cell phone rang, Yu Xi said: "I'll answer the phone first, and then I can speak a string of fluent English. Those proper nouns in the field of aerospace engineering are those that Meng Chenchen, who is out of the academic field, hasn't heard for a long time. Understand.
It was already evening, Yu Xi hung up the phone, Meng Chenchen asked: "Is there work to do tonight?"
Yu Xi shook her head: "There is no work arrangement, didn't I agree to leave time for you tonight?"
Meng Chenchen jumped up and hooked Yu Xi's neck: "Okay, enough girls! Wang Na also said that you are hot, so you won't kiss me like before."
Yu Xi: "Whether it's hot or not, what does it have to do with whether we kiss or not? Besides, where is it hot, it's not that exaggerated."
"Since you don't work at night, let's talk as we walk, I'll take you back to Beihang College Street to eat skewers! The barbecue stall we used to love to eat is still alive!" Meng Chenchen asked again: "Can you still eat now? Chuaner?"
Yu Xi pushed the luggage cart to follow her, pointing at the mask.
Meng Chenchen: "?"
Yu Xi: "Why can't you have a mouth if you have a mouth?"
Meng Chenchen smiled: "No, don't you feel that you are really on fire now? Look over there." On the frequency conversion poster board of the airport, a poster of Yu Xi was slowly being cast. Yu Xi was wearing a blue engineer suit standing at C position. The sharp eyebrows and eyes reveal a heroic look, and there are four cursive calligraphy characters "female power" written next to it.
Meng Chenchen got drunk: "Hey, which agency took this photo for you? It's so beautiful, can they take the job of ordinary people taking private photos?"
Yu Xi's appearance is indeed outstanding, her beauty is completely different from the beauty of ordinary stars, she never wears makeup, she is the cool and rational beauty of a female engineer.
So as soon as Yuxi's poster was cast, two young girls immediately went up to take a group photo.
Yu Xi herself was not aware of it, staring at the spaceship in the background of the poster: "Who owns this photo? Why did you drop a key part? This is completely wrong, and you will have to go through it carefully before you can go out on the street."
Meng Chenchen: "...Can't you see if your pores and eye lines have been removed by P?"
Yu Xi: "Is it very important?"
Well, whether you are a top student or a top student, your focus will always be different from that of ordinary people.
Ordinary little girls take pictures with the posters, but there is a little girl with sharp eyes. Yu Xi pushed the luggage cart and walked out with Meng Chenchen. ?”
Meng Chenchen took the initiative to assume the role of manager: "She's not, you've got the wrong person."
The little girl had already taken out her pen and notebook. Hearing what Meng Chenchen said, she looked disappointed.
Yu Xi stood still: "Do you want to sign?"
She took the pen and notebook, and clearly signed her name - "Yuxi".Her handwriting has never looked like a girl's handwriting, and it is so strong that it can penetrate the back of the paper.
The little girl was excited: "You are really Yuxi! Thank you, thank you! I am so lucky!"
She ran away in a flash.
Meng Chenchen said to Yu Xi: "I thought you were a celebrity who was extremely cold, but I didn't expect you to be so amiable."
"It's not a matter of being friendly." Yu Xi said, "It's about getting one more girl interested in aerospace engineering through me, isn't it great?"
Under the lights of the airport, Yu Xi's cold eyes shone brightly, and she looked no different from the girl who looked at the blue sky and dreamed back then.
