Smells

Chapter 38

Shen Xin stared straight at Yu Ying, twisting her body and struggling in front of Xiao Chen.

Yu Ying said softly: "Brother Chen, let her go."

Xiao Chen hesitated for a moment, then let go of his hand.

As soon as he let go, Shen Xin turned around, went straight to Yu Ying, raised her eyes and glared at him, and asked, "You're doing well."

Yu Ying said nothing.

"Are you at ease?" The tip of Shen Xin's nose was almost touching his chin, and his eyes were scratched on his face from top to bottom, "My brother is dead, but you are alive and well, I ask you, are you at ease?" ?”

She asked this question a few years ago. At that time, she was just a naive little girl. The death of her brother shattered all the good things she should have had.

She finds Yu Ying and frantically asks him to return her brother.Shen Jingkuo couldn't come back, and she also fell ill later.

Yu Ying has seen Shen Xin's lively and agile appearance, and also watched the light in her eyes dissipate bit by bit.

"I'm not at ease." Yu Ying said.

Shen Xin's eyes were red, and her thin facial features were stained with endless grief: "If you don't feel at ease, he won't come back either."

"Yes. That's why I have to continue and live a good life."

Shen Xin's lips trembled slightly, trying to suppress the tears in her eyes, her slender jade hands grabbed Yu Ying's clothes, choked up and said: "Mom said that my illness is already cured, why do I think it is not cured yet? "

"Xiaoxin..."

Shen Xin waved her hand and hit Yu Ying's chest several times: "They told me not to kidnap you, why? Why? Why? Why?! My brother died because of you, why can't I kidnap you ! He is dead! My brother is dead! He will never come back!!”

She roared uncontrollably, Yu Ying hugged her, held her in her arms, and comforted her in a hoarse voice: "I know, I know, you can kidnap me, whatever you want."

His shoulders were wet, the girl in his arms sobbed softly, the sobbing gradually became louder, Shen Xin leaned straight into Yu Ying's arms, and burst into tears.

Yu Ying turned her face away and blinked hard.

All the people present were silent and looked at them silently.

Yu Ying cleared her throat and glanced at Xiao Chen: "Brother Chen, you go back to work first, I will take care of it here."

His eyes were a little red, and Xiao Chen hummed: "Call me if you have anything to do."

Xiao Chen left as soon as he said, and Yu Ying would be confused if he didn't stay here.They are all adults, and they must have the ability to resist stress. Some things should be handled by themselves, and outsiders' interference is just adding to the chaos.

But Xiao Chen was really distressed.

When he walked away, he clenched his teeth tightly, as if the shards of glass on the ground had shattered on his heart, piercing his heart torn apart and blood splattering everywhere.

Yu Ying called Shen Xin's parents. Shen Xin's mood was very unstable. She was also hysterical a few years ago, but it was more extreme and crazy than now.

Shen Xin's parents rushed to hear the news and sent Shen Xin to the hospital without saying a word, and Yu Ying went together.

Because Shen Xin couldn't accept her brother's death back then, she suffered from serious mental problems. She always closed herself in the shadow of Shen Jingkuo's death. Day after day, over time, she couldn't go to school normally.Later, he was sent to a nursing home by Shen's father and Shen's mother, where he recuperated for two years.

She only came out of a nursing home last month, and two years of treatment haven't cured her.

Shen Xin was sedated and fell asleep on the hospital bed.

Yu Ying was sitting on the bench in the corridor, seeing Shen's father and Shen's mother coming out of the ward, he got up immediately.

"I've already fallen asleep." Mother Shen said softly.

Yu Ying hummed, and her voice was hoarse when she spoke: "Uncle, Aunt, I'm sorry."

His face was a bit vicissitudes, and his expression was very tired. Even though he deliberately restrained his emotions, Shen's father and Shen's mother still felt the heavy powerlessness on his body.

The two old men are intellectuals who have read poetry and books, with soft hearts and open hearts.

Shen's mother hugged Yu Ying lightly, and rubbed his back with her hand: "I'm sorry, there's nothing to be sorry about."

"It's us who should say sorry." Shen's father said from the side, "Xinxin is too nonsense."

Yu Ying immediately shook her head.

Shen's mother said softly: "Xinxin is young, she may not have such mature thinking when thinking about things, I hope you understand her."

Yu Ying choked up, not knowing what to say.

"It's all in the past." Mother Shen stroked Yu Ying's back with her hand, "Let the past pass, you don't owe anyone."

Yu Ying said: "I owe him, I owe Jingkuo all my life."

Shen's mother paused, her nose turned sore, and she said slowly: "Then pay it back in the next life, and live this life well and happily."

Yu Ying left the hospital.

There was a "resting" sign on the door of the studio. The room was in chaos, and there was no place for the debris and flowers all over the place.It was evening when Yu Ying came back, Xing Zhun and Xu Ke and the two new apprentices were cleaning up the mess.

"What's the matter?" Xing Zhun came over with a broom.

"It's nothing serious, she just saw my conditioned mood swings." Yu Ying twitched the corners of her lips and said half-jokingly: "It should be about my PTSD."

Yu Ying clapped her hands and yelled: "It's okay, don't clean it up, you all go home, I'll call a special cleaner to clean it up."

"By the way, you don't come here tomorrow. You have a few days off. I just take this opportunity to renovate the store." Yu Ying pointed at Xing Zhun, "Don't let my mother know about this today."

Xing Zhun nodded.

Xu Ke asked: "What if Auntie comes to take a walk and inspect?"

Yu Ying shrugged: "Then we can only tell the truth and wait for Ms. Ye to start complaining."

The group of people all went home, and Yu Ying stood in the empty studio, silently looking at the remains of flowers and water on the ground, standing there for a long time.

After a long while, he squatted down slowly and began to pick up fragments of vases on the ground.

The floor is covered with mottled footprints, colorful, which are the marks made by stepping on the petals.

Yu Ying looked a little distressed.

While picking it up, he suddenly stopped holding a piece of broken glass, his vision became blurred bit by bit, until a stream of heat rolled down from the corner of his eyes.

The shards of glass slipped from his hands, he rubbed the corners of his eyes dejectedly, and buried his face in his palms.

It didn't take long for him to collapse, and a few minutes later, the look of Yiyi was on his face again.

Yu Ying contacted a professional cleaning company and hired several cleaning masters to come to the studio to clean up.

The masters came into the house armed with cleaning tools, and they were taken aback. They asked in an accent tone: "Oh, mom, this is being robbed by thieves? Have you reported it to the police?"

Yu Ying smiled: "Master, hurry up and try to get it done before dark?"

"Success, we are professionals." The leading master waved his hand, and the junior masters behind him rushed out one after another.

"The ground is full of glass. Be careful when you walk, don't step on it." Yu Ying reminded.

"okay."

The cleaning master helped to clean the ground, and Yu Ying cleaned up the damaged flowers and branches by herself.

"I'm going, what's the situation?"

A familiar voice came from the door, and Yu Ying turned her head.

It's Ding Zhaoqiu.

"What's going on?" Ding Zhaoqiu avoided the debris on the ground and walked over, "Someone robbed?"

Hearing the words, the master on the side hurriedly responded: "I said it was robbed by thieves. Boss, did you call the police? The day is bright and the world is bright, the thieves are really terrible now!"

Yu Ying was amused by this outrageous tone.

"Someone really robbed?" Ding Zhaoqiu had an unbelievable expression, "There are still people robbing flower shops these days? Is your head watered?"

"What do you think?" Yu Ying asked helplessly.

Ding Zhaoqiu thought about it, and felt that this conjecture was really unreliable: "What's wrong? Who did it?"

"Accident." Yu Ying said perfunctorily, "Why are you here?"

"Come and see yours." Ding Zhaoqiu sat down on the chair, Erlang raised his legs, "Haven't you eaten yet, Boss Yu?"

Yu Ying looked at him: "No, why?"

"Here." Ding Zhaoqiu put the packing bag in his hand on the table, "Under the order of Lao Xiao, I came to send care to his lover. The food packed in a five-star hotel, hurry up and eat it while it's hot."

"Where's Xiao Chen?" Yu Ying asked.

Ding Zhaoqiu lit a cigarette: "I'm working overtime, I don't have time to come to the scene in person, I begged me to bring you food, and I have to ask him for errand fees tomorrow."

"Thank you."

"You're welcome." Ding Zhaoqiu spread a hand towards him, "Why don't you pay for the errand expenses?"

Yu Ying smiled, and really took out her phone from her pocket, wanting to scan the QR code for him to pay.

Ding Zhaoqiu bit Yan Le: "I'm just joking with you, just like Lao Xiao, both of us are serious."

"Xiao Chen, when does he get off work?"

"I don't know. I'm busy. You don't have to wait for him. He often works overtime." Ding Zhaoqiu took a breath of his cigarette and got up, "Okay, I've delivered the caring. You can eat while it's hot. I have something to do, so I'm leaving first."

"Thank you for making the trip."

Ding Zhaoqiu raised his eyebrows: "No, anyway, it's your partner who pays." The nature of a businessman is to be penny-pinching, "I won't miss him for running errands."

Looking at the delivery package, she knew that this meal should not be cheap. Yu Ying remembered the 8000 yuan meal that Ding Zhaoqiu slaughtered Xiao Chen before. This person is really black-hearted.

Walking out of the shop, Ding Zhaoqiu called Xiao Chen, but it took a long time to answer, probably because he was busy.

"Hey?"

Ding Zhaoqiu got into the car, bit the cigarette and said, "The meal has been delivered, and someone has looked at it for you. It's quite alive and kicking, there's nothing wrong with it."

Xiao Chen hummed: "Thank you."

"You're welcome. Meal money, errand money, I'll put them all on your account. Then remember—"

The other side directly hung up the phone, Ding Zhaoqiu laughed and threw the phone into the dark compartment.

The studio was cleaned up thoroughly, it was already dark, Yu Ying called Xiao Chen after seeing off the cleaning master, but there was no answer.

Yu Ying put on her coat, took the car keys, and prepared to go to Xiao Chen's company to pick him up.

When they arrived downstairs at the company, Yu Ying sat in the car and dialed Xiao Chen's number again, but no one answered.He got out of the car and walked into the company building.

There are restrictions on the entry and exit of company personnel. Yu Ying is not a staff member, so she cannot enter without swiping her card.It was getting late, and there were a few offices in the company building with lights on, but most people had already left work, and even the front desk was empty.

Fortunately, I met Jiang Xiaosheng. Yu Ying had traveled to Tibet with them before, and Jiang Xiaosheng was quite familiar with him.

"Brother Yu? Why are you here?"

"I'm here to pick up Xiao Chen."

"Boss? He hasn't left work yet." Jiang Xiaosheng held up the coffee in his hand to show Yu Ying, "I just bought coffee and came back, ready to fight together."

"Has he eaten?"

"I don't know, I haven't come out in the office. Let's go, I'll take you up." Jiang Xiaosheng swiped his employee card, the gate opened, he walked in, and swiped his card on the sensor button again.

There were quite a few employees struggling in the office, and they were so busy that they scratched their heads and scratched their heads. Jiang Xiaosheng yelled: "Come here, let's drink coffee!"

A group of social animals with haggard faces raised their heads one after another. Seeing that the coffee had lost a little popularity, and seeing the handsome guy next to Jiang Xiaosheng, their eyes suddenly lit up.

Yu Ying nodded politely.

"The boss's office is over there." Jiang Xiaosheng pointed to the office at the end.

"Thank you." Yu Ying smiled slightly at the crowd as a sign of politeness, and then strode towards Xiao Chen's office.

As soon as the person left, a group of walking dead people all came alive.

"Xiaosheng, who is who?"

"Is that the handsome guy who went to Tibet with us before?"

"What? What handsome guy? He went to Tibet too? What did I miss?"

"Xiao Gong's family, they went on a trip with us, I'm sorry, you don't know how handsome you are."

"I have eyes."

"Tsk, you have to take a closer look, this handsome guy is really different from ordinary men."

The fellow social animals present were not happy: "Madam, I suspect that you are alluding to certain groups, and I have evidence."

The female colleague laughed heartily while holding a cup of coffee.

Yu Ying knocked on the office door, but no one answered.

He gently opened the door.

There was a large workbench by the window sill in the office, all the drawings were pushed aside, Xiao Chen just curled up and slept on it.

Yu Ying closed the door and walked over.

Xiao Chen was lying on his side, facing Yu Ying, with one arm under his head and the other around his neck.

His body twitched suddenly, and then his eyelids flicked open.

"Brother Chen." Yu Ying squatted in front of the workbench and called softly.

Xiao Chen's eyes were sleepy, and he hummed in a daze. He stretched out his finger and scratched along the bridge of Yu Ying's tall nose, his voice was hoarse after waking up: "Why are you here?"

"Come to take you home."

There is a tooth mark on Xiao Chen's wrist, which was bitten by Shen Xin during the day, and it is now slightly purple and bruised.

Yu Ying grabbed his hand and moved her face closer, wanting to kiss that spot.

Xiao Chen immediately withdrew his hand, and said unhappily, "What do you kiss where others have bitten?" He tapped his lips with his index finger, "Just kiss here."

Yu Ying put her hand on his neck, leaned forward, and kissed his lips.
