Chapter 76
"Yes, it's a gift." Shen Yilan repeated, feeling a little guilty for some reason.
She didn't dare to open it openly for Ye Zi to see, she was stalemate and didn't even dare to glance in the direction of the box.
Shen Yilan looked in the direction of the swimming pool, there were only a few scattered people there, which was completely different from the excitement just now.
That Clarence was so annoying, handed her such a tricky box, she didn't know what to do with it.
Ye Zi glanced at the packaging of the box, and the corners of her mouth pressed down calmly. She knew that Clarence was a slutty young master who took over the initial business under NYUHR, but she gave some things as gifts to Shen Yilan so bluntly. Her behavior still made her a little displeased.
It's like my own child was not taken care of properly because of negligence, and was secretly taught some crooked things by some street sneakers outside.
"Is it cold?" Ye Zi asked, and handed to Shen Yilan the coat she brought when she came here just now.
The temperature difference between day and night in Hawaii is huge, and at night it is accompanied by a cool breeze, and Shen Yilan only wears a short-sleeved dress.
"It's not cold." Shen Yilan shook her head, even though there were already faint goosebumps on her arms.
But even so, she still put on the coat Ye Zi handed over, which was full of Ye Zi's smell.
Fewer and fewer people at the party, seems to be clearing the venue, many cleaning staff with tools to clean up the remnants of the party.
Shen Yilan glanced at the cake in front of her that she had just eaten, she seemed to be very hungry tonight, "Do I have to eat faster?"
"No, just eat slowly." Ye Zi sat alone, she was wearing a white shirt, the moonlight was shining on it, she was tall and tall, and her gestures were a little dignified.
After knowing Ye Zi's identity, Shen Yilan felt that Ye Zi's distance seemed to be further away from her.
Before that, she thought that the wealthiest family she could meet was the rich second generation like Song Yi.
She hadn't thought that even the daughters of leading domestic companies could have access to them.
If she had encountered this kind of situation in school before, she would probably hide away.
Because Shen Yilan knew very well that he and those people would not be the same.
The footsteps of several people came from far to near, walking towards this side.
"Sister! Sister! My business here is very good, you really don't need to come and inspect it!" Clarence's doggy voice came all the way.
"You think I'm here to look for you?" It was a woman's voice, which sounded cold and indifferent, and she didn't seem like someone easy to contact.
"Then why are you here?" Clarence's question was not answered.
The woman stopped in front of Ye Zi, "Miss Ye, finally we meet again, I was away for a meeting just now, sorry for keeping you waiting."
"It's okay." Ye Zi stood up and smiled friendly, with polite alienation in her eyes.
Shen Yilan put down the cake in her hand, then stood up, pursed her lips, and did not speak.
"I know that your school work is very busy, so I haven't dared to look for you. I heard that this time you left your school work and came to Hawaii for vacation. I pushed several meetings and came to see you." The smile on the woman's face did not change. stop.
Ye Zi smiled lightly, but didn't answer.
When she didn't see anyone and only heard the voice just now, Shen Yilan thought that Clarence's sister was a cold and difficult sister Yu, but she didn't expect that she kept smiling in front of Ye Zi, and she looked like a very active peer.
"This is..." The woman finally noticed Shen Yilan next to her and asked.
"Hello, I'm Shen Yilan, Yelaoshr's teammate." Shen Yilan replied immediately, keeping her voice calm.
She knew that she was extremely nervous now, and she couldn't keep calm enough in the face of such a confident woman.
"Shen Yilan? I've heard of you. I've seen your stage in the finals. You dance well and sing even better." The woman opened her mouth and stretched out her hand, "Let me introduce myself, Ji Ruxi."
"Although I am Clarence's older sister, I prefer to be called by my Chinese name." Ji Ruxi explained.
"Hello, Miss Ji." Seeing her outstretched hand, Shen Yilan first rubbed it on his clothes a few times before reaching out to shake it.
After a brief encounter, Ji Ruxi let go.
She turned to Ye Zi again, with regret in her voice, "I'm still busy tonight, otherwise I can catch up with you, see you tomorrow!"
"Okay." Ye Zi said quietly, watching Ji Ruxi go away.
When Ji Ruxi left, he looked back several times.
The surroundings suddenly became quiet, Shen Yilan looked down at the half-eaten cake in front of her, and couldn't eat it.
"Ms. Ye, shall we go back now?" Shen Yilan asked, begging in his eyes.
Ye Zi stared intently at Shen Yilan for a while, as if trying to figure out the meaning of Shen Yilan's words.
She dragged Shen Yilan to the direction of the room, and without waiting for Shen Yilan to ask questions, she spoke.
"Ji Ruxi and I met by chance a few years ago. We only got in touch occasionally, and we haven't met a few times."
"Really?" Shen Yilan sat on the bed in the room, twitching her fingers together, "I heard that you were the one who overcame the public opinion to help her with that transnational cooperation."
Ye Zi took a clean bathrobe from the closet and paused, "Did Clarence tell you that? It's nothing to overwhelm everyone, it's just that Ji Ruxi did me a favor when we met, so I'll just return the favor." .”
She thought of the girl who was rescued at that time, and took a deep look at Shen Yilan, "I have been reluctant to recall the details I knew, and I don't think you will be happy if you know."
Shen Yilan didn't understand, she didn't understand the complicated emotions in Ye Zi's eyes at the moment.
As girls, it's not that she can't see Ji Ruxi's thoughts, even though Ji Ruxi and Ye Zi are the same age.
She thought Ye Zi said that she was unhappy because she might hear something about Ji Ruxi.
If that's the case, she really doesn't want to hear it.
"Actually, there are many places abroad where you can see the sea. I don't really want to bring you here." Ye Zi said indifferently, with traceable helplessness in her tone.
"My sister made an appointment with me to come to Hawaii." Shen Yilan lowered her eyes, depressed.
It was indeed her decision to come to Hawaii. She wanted to fulfill Shen Yichu's wish with her during her lifetime.
Ye Zi didn't continue the conversation, and went straight to the bathroom.
Before going to bed, Shen Yilan hugged Ye Zi very tightly, fearing that she would leave.
In the dream, she seemed to be dreaming of Shen Yichu.
Shen Yichu was wearing white clothes, standing alone in the middle of the swimming pool at night, with no one around.
Shen Yilan ran towards the middle of the swimming pool, trying hard to catch him, but he couldn't catch up with Shen Yichu no matter what.
Every time she took a step closer, Shen Yichu moved further away.
In the middle of the night, she woke up from a nightmare, and her mind was filled with the redness from the bathtub. Shen Yichu looked at her expressionlessly with his eyes open, and murmured, "Yilang...I don't like the sea at all... Let's not go to the sea together..."
There was a thin layer of sweat on his forehead, Shen Yilan swallowed hard, the dryness in his throat hurt a little.
"Did you have a nightmare?" Ye Zi wiped the sweat from her forehead, got up and poured a cup of hot water to Shen Yilan, "Drink slowly, be careful not to burn it."
"I dreamed about my sister." Shen Yilan still didn't recover.
There was no light in the room, and the darkness in front of my eyes seemed to be stained with some crimson.
Ye Zi's eyes fell to the corner of the bed, and she blinked lightly, "What did you dream about?"
"She said that she didn't like the sea anymore and told me not to come here." Shen Yilan sniffed, her mouth was still slightly opened and did not close.
Ye Zi moved her eyes to Shen Yilan's frightened face, and held her in her arms, "Dreams are always the opposite, don't be afraid."
"But, this dream is so real..." Shen Yilan's voice was muffled, mixed with grievance and sadness.
"Let me hold you tighter tonight, okay?" Ye Zi patted Shen Yilan's back to comfort her.
Perhaps because of the nightmare, Shen Yilan didn't sleep well at night.
Shen Yilan didn't wake up from this sleep until noon, and she didn't have any appetite when she woke up, so Ye Zi took her to a nearby shopping mall.
There are many people on the beach at this time, and the shopping mall looks empty.
Shen Yilan never went shopping in big shopping malls, because she couldn't afford it, and even felt that the products inside were expensive and ugly. She didn't have that spending power, nor did she have that aesthetic vision.
When she was on the road just now, Ye Zi bought her a cup of coconut juice.
At this time, Shen Yilan held it in both hands and drank all the way, showing no interest in the clothes around him.
Ye Zi didn't pay much attention, she kept paying attention to Shen Yilan's face, seeing that she was not interested, she walked slowly forward.
This shopping mall occupies the place with the largest passenger flow in tourist attractions, and the center is the official storefront of NYUHR.
Shen Yilan glanced at it, and the customers inside knew that they were either rich or expensive just by looking at their temperament.
She looked down at the coconut juice in her hand and felt that she was out of place.
The clerk glanced at Ye Zi, and saw that the clothes on Ye Zi were NYUHR's high-end clothes, which were many times higher than those sold in the store, so they warmly greeted her.
"Hello, what can I do for you?" the clerk called Ye Zi kindly.
Ye Zi didn't respond, and motioned to Shen Yilan who was behind her.
The clerks are all good people, and they are all good leaders in observing words and demeanor. They immediately understood what Ye Zi meant, and started to circle around Shen Yilan.
"Is there anything you like? I can recommend it to you."
"Which style do you like? Mature style or girly style? Top or skirt? But you are so good and beautiful, you must look good in anything!"
"We also have coconut water in our store, which is very pure and zero-processed coconut water, and you can taste it for free."
"No need, I'll just drink this..." Shen Yilan was completely dazed, walked to Ye Zi's side cautiously, and asked in a low voice, "Ms. Ye...is there only clothes here..."
"Of course we have other products for sale! This is the apparel area, and there is the accessories area. You can also go there to have a look!" Before Ye Zi could speak, the clerk continued to answer.
Shen Yilan was silent for three seconds, she could hear clearly what she said in such a low voice.
"Do you like bracelets? I'll show you." Ye Zi knew what Shen Yilan liked, so she led her to the other side.
The accessories area is even more luxurious. There is even a designer sitting here in person. He obviously knows Ye Zi's appearance. Seeing the two of them coming over, he enthusiastically introduces the design in front of him.
From the classification of bracelets, diamonds, gemstones, crystals and even handmade woven bracelets, to his design concept.
Shen Yilan's English is not good either, it's at the level of understanding the first half of the sentence and the second half of the sentence before it's too late.
She didn't know much about it, but she was very interested, so she looked at the bracelet in front of her.
There was a bracelet she liked very much, with fine gemstones strung on it, she squinted her eyes to see the price below.
The string of zeros managed to make her look away.
too expensive.
Although Ye Zi was talking with the designer, she focused on Shen Yilan. Seeing that her eyes were shining when she looked at the gemstone bracelet, she asked, "Like it?"
"I don't like it." Shen Yilan said directly.
Ye Zi was amused by her, "Send it to you."
"It's too expensive." Shen Yilan said the key point, even if Ye Zi gave her a gift, she would feel that she couldn't afford it.
"There is a way to buy it cheap." Ye Zi knew that she had a strong self-esteem, so she changed her method.
"What way?" Shen Yilan didn't expect anything.
Even if this string of zeros is missing one or two, it's the same for her. How cheap can it be?
"You can ask him for some raw materials to weave by yourself." Ye Zi looked sideways at Shen Yilan with a smile in her eyes, "Aren't you very good at it?"
As she spoke, she smiled and raised the red string she still wore on her wrist.
"Is it possible?" The hope that was extinguished in Shen Yilan's heart was ignited again.
"Of course." Ye Zi pinched Shen Yilan's face, "Sometimes the price may be due to the so-called handwork."
Ye Zi talked to the designer for a few words, and the designer quickly agreed, and took out a small box from the bottom cabinet. The raw materials in it were not complete, and most of them were just a short piece of rope.
Shen Yilan picked out some that he liked, and when he saw those that were only a small part, he put them back with regret.
Ye Zi continued to repeat the designer's words to Shen Yilan, "There is only a small piece of rope for him to prepare, and it will be delivered after a while."
"It's too troublesome! This is enough!" Shen Yilan has a thin skin and quickly refused.
Ye Zi smiled and looked at the bracelet next to her, "Do you need some decorations on the bracelet?"
"No need! Just need a rope!" Shen Yilan knew that the jewelry on the bracelet was genuine and must not be cheap, so she refused.
"That's right. I'll find some good ones for you when I get back to China. These don't look very good." Ye Zi said casually, and went to the cashier.
Shen Yilan was ashamed, she was suddenly shown off by Ye Zi's professionalism.
Carrying the beautifully packaged bag, she dared to ask when she left the store, "Ms. Ye, how much did you spend?"
Ye Zi walked forward leisurely, "It's not expensive."
Shen Yilan pouted, she knew that Ye Zi would not tell her.
The bag was full of raw materials, and there was no brand with a price tag. As long as Ye Zi didn't tell her, she would have no way of knowing.
"Miss Ye, thank you for giving me these." Shen Yilan trotted to catch up with Ye Zi, and asked with a smile, "Miss Ye, if someone else was shopping with you today, you would buy her without hesitation." Do you like something?"
"Shen Yilan, you seem to have made a mistake." Ye Zi was slowed down by this question, "If someone else is with me now, I wouldn't waste time shopping on her."
After lunch, Ye Zi took a lunch break with Shen Yilan.
Before Shen Yilan fell asleep hazyly, he finally experienced the carefree days of social idlers, and there was probably nothing left except eating, drinking and having fun.
This lunch break didn't last long. After waking up, Shen Yilan was lying on the bed alone. The temperature of the quilt next to her was not high, and it was already a bit cool from the quilt cover.
Ye Zi didn't know when she got up, and Shen Yilan was inexplicably lost.
She seems to be addicted now, every time she falls asleep and wakes up, she will see Ye Zi's face, and she will pat her on the back and ask her, 'Are you still sleepy?Do you want to continue to sleep? ', this kind of care made her extremely at ease, and she was even deeply trapped in it and couldn't extricate herself.
Suddenly waking up without Ye Zi, Shen Yilan was not used to it.
During lunch, Ye Zi said that the puff pastry here is delicious, and they made an appointment to have it together after the lunch break. Now people don't know where they went.
Shen Yilan asked the waiter to pack a red plum to herald the spring, and she was carrying a small box to go out to find Ye Zi. Eating together outside the restaurant should be very romantic.
She looked outside the beach, but she didn't see Ye Zi, and she didn't reply to the text message, so she was going to look for it in the hotel.
But Ye Ziren couldn't find it, but met Clarence instead.
"Yo, sister, why are you going?" Clarence stopped her from leaving and saw the box in her hand, "Snacks for me?"
"Give way, I have something urgent." Shen Yilan already knew Clarence's temper, and didn't want to have too much contact with him.
"What's urgent? Give me a snack." Clarence said that he was going to get the box in Shen Yilan's hand, insisting on teasing her.
"For Teacher Ye! You are not allowed to touch it!" Shen Yilan's tone raised a little.
"It's for that old woman..." Clarence stopped his movements, "Isn't a woman like Ye Zi very attractive to little girls like you?"
"What do you know..." Shen Yilan didn't allow Clarence to make any sarcastic remarks about Ye Zi.
"Let me assume a thing for you. If one day you were hit by a luxury car on the road, but you scratched your skin, what would you do at this time?"
"It's fine." Shen Yilan didn't take this as a hypothesis, and answered according to the most realistic thoughts.
"If you are innocent, you should blackmail her for a sum of money at this time. The probability of being hit by a rich man and being fine is even harder than winning the lottery. Maybe they will come to you on the spot to prevent you from coming to your door in the future. I will give you a sum of money to eliminate this possibility."
Shen Yilan's three views were refreshed again, she felt that she couldn't talk to Clarence at all.
"You don't have such a simple face, isn't Ye Zi the rich man now, why don't you blackmail her?" Clarence scratched his face, "My little girls are always happy to take the money and leave Yes, I am happy to spend the money, you know? There will be no future troubles."
"You don't want your three views to kidnap me!" Shen Yilan sneered, "No! You don't have three views at all!"
"Aren't you looking for Ye Zi?" Clarence didn't continue to talk about anything else, and talked about what Shen Yilan wanted to hear, "I know where she is, she seems to be with my sister."
Shen Yilan's face froze all of a sudden, "Are you with Miss Ji?"
"The top floor of this hotel." Clarence leaned closer to Shen Yilan's face, covering his hands and lowering his voice.
Shen Yilan patted Clarence's hand on her ear and walked towards the elevator.
"There is a password, do you know?"
Clarence's voice came from behind.
Shen Yilan was no match for this man at all, she was successfully suppressed by him, she turned back again, "What's the password?"
Clarence stopped teasing her, and said a series of numbers, with a malicious smile in his words, "Friendly reminder, there is a huge floor-to-ceiling window, which is very interesting."
Shen Yilan took the elevator and went straight to the top floor.
The corridor on the top floor was empty, and she walked all the way through, only seeing a small conference room.
Clarence...
Lie to her again!
……
conference room.
Ye Zi was sitting on the single sofa. There was a table separating her from Ji Ruxi's seat. There was a bottle of red wine on it, and two goblets next to it.
"I know you like to drink Pinot Gris the most, but I spent a lot of effort to get it." Ji Ruxi smiled, "But the success came in handy, so it's not a loss."
"Why are you looking for me?" Ye Zi was very indifferent, lowering her head and playing with the bracelet on her wrist, lacking in interest.
"Of course it's reminiscing about the old days. We haven't seen each other for a long time. Before contacting you, you have been shirking that you are busy with school and have no time." Although Ji Ruxi was playing with his nails, his eyes fell on Ye Zi, "It's not that you don't like wearing accessories Why? Why are you wearing a bracelet?"
"Everyone is subject to change." Ye Zi replied.
"But I haven't changed, and neither have my feelings." Ji Ruxi said with some resentment, "Why have I ignored you so many times when I approached you, and still have time to accompany other younger sisters on vacation? It's not good to go to school now. busy?"
Ye Zi's eyes fell on the ground in front of her, and she answered casually.
"Let's have dim sum together later? Red plums herald the spring, you like it." Ji Ruxi still took the initiative to find the topic, "Recently, there is a new afternoon tea that goes well with dim sum, try it?"
Ye Zi remembered the appointment with Shen Yilan, so she refused, "I have something to do in a while."
"Then..." Ji Ruxi still wanted to speak.
"Have you finished?" Ye Zi frowned. She wanted to check the time, but found that her mobile phone was charging in the room and she didn't bring it. She looked up at the clock on the wall and guessed that Shen Yilan had woken up. Are these irrelevant?"
"It's been a long time since I saw you, what's wrong with asking you to say something..." Ji Ruxi smiled slightly, "You and I are both girls, your words may seem harmless on the surface, but they sound hurtful ..."
"This is the top floor, no one will know that we are chatting, and neither will Shen Yilan, so why don't you want to chat with me for a while?"
"If it's okay, then I'll go first." Ye Zi breathed out, her toes already pointing out the door.
"Wait a minute!" Ji Ruxi stopped her, "Can I ask you one last question?"
Ye Zi: "Tell me."
"There are so many places abroad where you can see the sea. Did you choose Hawaii because NYUHR's industry is here?"
"She said she wanted to come to Hawaii to see the sea." Ye Zi blurted out.
There was complete silence in the conference room.
After a while, Ye Zi spoke.
"NYUHR is gaining momentum, you should stay in the company well, instead of running over in a hurry because of me rejecting all the meetings. That transnational cooperation is the first time I will help you, and it will be the last time. If you want to contact me emotionally, then we simply cut off all contact methods.”
"Also, I hope you can help me keep the matter about Shen Yichu a secret, and don't look for her in private. When the time is ripe, I will communicate with her about this matter."
"As before, you have better development, don't waste time on me."
After Ye Zi finished speaking, she ignored Ji Ruxi. If she was heartless, she would never say those words to Ji Ruxi.
There is a beautifully packaged box at the door of the meeting room, which is particularly eye-catching on the silver-gray trash can.
Ye Zi paid attention, opened her eyes, and found that the snack inside was red plums for spring.
Her heart stopped suddenly, as if she realized something, she took a quick step and rushed downstairs.
The moment the elevator door closed, Ye Zi could almost see how the sensitive and vulnerable Shen Yilan at the door saw her talking with Ji Ruxi.
She was so negligent that she couldn't even see Shen Yilan's figure through such a big window, or Shen Yilan only saw a little bit and then left aggrieved.
Ye Zi didn't dare to think about it.
After all, Shen Yilan never expected that she would rely on Ye Zi to such an extent.
It turned out that just seeing her alone with someone else's woman gave her a great sense of panic.
Besides, it was Ji Ruxi, a woman who was excellent enough to stand side by side with Ye Zi.
There is almost no mismatch in appearance, temperament, and family background.
She realized that the so-called good match in the secular world also exists in an invisible and intangible form among the same sex.
Seeing Ye Zi rushing back to the room, she could find where she was right away.
Shen Yilan didn't know if Ye Zi could understand what was in her heart, and she didn't know if she could understand. She felt that she was so weak that there was no solution to any problem and she would just cry bitterly.
"Ms. Ye... I saw Miss Ji personally pouring wine for you. You clinked glasses with her and drank together. The feeling of sympathy between the same kind almost overflowed. It was like an invisible barrier separated me. I can't get into it no matter what." Shen Yilan couldn't hold back tears, "And I, let alone find those good red wines you like, I can't even name a few well-known red wines."
Shen Yilan felt like a clumsy sparrow, she tried her best to fly into the sky, thinking that by doing so she could blend into those eagles, but the reality hit her mercilessly again and again.
She felt that she must be ugly, so she buried her head down, and her muffled voice sounded even more unsmooth, "I took you to tell me your preferences to find you, but I heard her say, 'I can I will accompany you to eat red plums to herald the spring, because I know that is what you like'."
Shen Yilan's tears broke the thread, smudged into a big ball on the white quilt, and the edge line became more and more scattered.
Before meeting Ye Zi, she was not like this. She could control all her emotions well, and she could mediate herself in the face of her parents' disapproval and even black fans' bottomless abuse.
It is already Shen Yilan's survival instinct to swallow all the grievances and sorrows in her stomach.
But after this wonderful balance was broken by Ye Zi, she could never regain her original mentality of living alone.
She heard Ye Zi say that 'everyone can change', and she probably became less and less able to find herself.
Shen Yilan couldn't be angry, and she didn't have any position to justify, and she couldn't justly ask Ye Zi to accompany her.
The meticulous care she enjoys from Ye Zi is already unique in the world, how dare she ask for more?
She had no choice but to beg and please, just like when she whispered when she was a child, her parents would give her a wing from a whole roast chicken.
"Ms. Ye, I used to wonder whether it was you who was shining and glowing on the stage who supported me to go on, but now, I feel a little biased."
Ye Zi quietly listened to Shen Yilan finish speaking, stroked her hair and asked, "Where, where is it biased?"
"It's you, not just you on the stage, but the whole you, the complete you." Shen Yilan opened her curled body and took the initiative to wrap her arms around Ye Zi's neck, "Ms. Ye, I have been learning to approach Ye Zi actively." You, know everything about you, not from others, or from those who are far better than me that I can't replace."
"So, Teacher Ye, wait for me, okay..."
Most likely, Ye Zi's preference is the most precious thing she wants to monopolize.
She just wants more, more.
Huge emotions surged in her mind, she only heard a soft voice in her ear, with infinite nostalgia, so soft and inseparable——
"Shen Yilan, you can take your time."
