Beep, beep, beep...
Behind Ye Zi came the sound of a car horn. She slowly turned her head and saw a black Jeep Cherokee.
Ye Zi raised her hand to cover her eyes. The headlights made Ye Zi look slender. She squinted her eyes and saw the license plate number. It was Lin Yan's car...
In a flash, the car door opened and Lin Yan stepped out of the Jeep Cherokee. Under the moonlight, his slender figure was like a proud and aloof tree. He held an umbrella and walked in the snow, his knee-length windbreaker fluttering in the wind.
Ye Zi was dazed. It wasn't until Lin Yan walked to her side and held an umbrella for her that she snapped back to reality. "Why are you here?"
Lin Yan raised the corner of his lips. His thin lips parted slightly, and his voice was faint and gentle. "I'm worried about you."
Ye Zi pursed her lips, her heart suddenly warmed. In such a cold night, Lin Yan's appearance was like giving her a cup of warm tea, giving off a dense mist that curled up in spirals.
She smiled. It was a beautiful and intoxicating smile.
Lin Yan pulled her into his arms and wrapped Ye Zi in his coat.
He rested his chiseled chin on Ye Zi's shoulder and breathed into Ye Zi's ear. "Honey, is there something on your mind?"
The way he called her "honey" warmed Ye Zi's heart.
Ye Zi glanced sideways, her gentle gaze colliding with Lin Yan's eyes that were as gentle as water.
His pitch-black pupils were like a bottomless ocean, and Ye Zi was deeply immersed in it, unable to extricate herself.
Ye Zi pursed her lips. She wanted to tell Lin Yan everything, but she knew she couldn't. Even if it was for Lin Yan, she couldn't say it.
She didn't know who the person hiding in the dark was.
Ye Zi forced a bitter smile and said softly, "It's nothing. My head just hurt a little. I feel much better now that I'm in the wind."
"It's so cold outside. Why are you in the wind?"
The winter wind was like a knife cutting her face, making Ye Zi's face turn red.
Lin Yan opened his arms and let out a breath of hot air to warm his hands. Then, he cupped Ye Zi's face. "Let's get in the car."
Ye Zi smiled and nodded. She followed Lin Yan into the car.
That night, Ye Zi slept peacefully in Lin Yan's arms. She slept like a child. However, only Lin Yan knew that she hadn't slept so well in a long time.
Lin Yan hugged Ye Zi like that. Before he knew it, he fell asleep.
However, just as Lin Yan fell asleep, Ye Zi slowly opened her eyes. She gently moved Lin Yan's arm away, covered Lin Yan with the blanket, and walked out of the bedroom.
Under the moonlight, Ye Zi took out the books from her backpack and placed them on the bookshelf in the living room in the original order. She stood by the window and watched the snow fall outside.
The winter in Binhai was so cold that she couldn't help but shiver.
After standing for a while, Ye Zi slowly closed her eyes. Her long eyelashes were inlaid with bright tears.
Lin Yan took the clothes and put them on Ye Zi. Ye Zi turned her head and said, "Did I wake you up?"
Lin Yan shook his head slightly. "No, I just felt that you weren't by my side, so I got up to see you."
Ye Zi gently nodded. When her eyelashes drooped, tears silently rolled down her face.
Lin Yan raised his hand and gently wiped away the tears from Ye Zi's eyes. He slightly frowned and said, "Can we talk?"
Ye Zi pursed her lips and said, "It's late. Go to bed early. You still have to work tomorrow."
Lin Yan frowned and said in a deep voice, "But how can I be at ease seeing you like this? You are my fiancée. I can see that you have something on your mind. What can't you say to me? "
Ye Zi bit her lower lip. She struggled a few times, but she still swallowed the words that she wanted to say.
Lin Yan tucked a strand of Ye Zi's hair behind her ear and said gently, "I won't force you. You can tell me when you want to say it. It's late. Let's go to bed early."
Ye Zi nodded and held Lin Yan's hand as they returned to the bedroom.
Early the next morning, the sun broke through the clouds. It had been gloomy for the past few days, which always made people feel gloomy. Fortunately, it was sunny today. Because it was early winter, the thin layer of snow on the ground melted into water as soon as the sun appeared.
When Ye Zi got up, Lin Yan was no longer home. For some reason, Ye Zi felt a lot more relieved.
Ye Zi didn't know how she should explain to Lin Yan that she came in.
Her sleepy eyes climbed up from the bed, she rubbed her eyes, looked tired walked into the bathroom, began to wash.
Ye Zi looked at her reflection in the mirror and couldn't help but jump.
Since when did she look so pathetic? Her hair was disheveled, her face was yellow, and there were dark circles under her eyes.
"Cough..."
She coughed violently and spat out the toothbrush in her mouth, leaving toothpaste foam all over the mirror. She hurriedly took a few pieces of tissue paper to wipe it.
However, she realized that the more she wiped the mirror, the more blurry it became.
Ye Zi frowned. She put down her toothbrush and carefully wiped it.
Ding dong.
The doorbell had been ringing for a while, but Ye Zi didn't seem to hear it at all. She just kept wiping the mirror.
After much difficulty, the mirror was finally clean. Ye Zi sighed helplessly and continued to brush her teeth.
After washing up, Ye Zi walked out and heard the doorbell.
She hurriedly went to open the door.
"Excuse me, are you Miss Ye Zi?" The delivery man stood outside the door with a humble and respectful smile on his face.
Ye Zi nodded. "That's me."
The delivery man said, "Miss Yeh, please sign for your delivery."
Ye Zi took the pen from the courier's hand and quickly wrote down her name. Then, she took the delivery box from the courier's hand.
She couldn't remember what she had searched for on the Internet recently. She couldn't help but frown slightly and shake the small box in her hand.
Ye Zi casually placed the delivery box on the coffee table in the living room. She picked up the letter opener and opened the delivery box.
There was a CD in the box.
Ye Zi frowned and looked carefully. There was nothing else in the box.
What was this?
Ye Zi was a little suspicious. She took the CD into the bedroom, turned on her laptop, and put the CD in.
The content of the video on the CD was a magnificent villa. She could tell that the video was shot from afar and it was from a certain era. The video wasn't very clear, but Ye Zi could still see that in the video, there was a boy playing with a girl in the garden.
That was the end of the video.
Ye Zi frowned slightly. What did the content of the video mean?
She was very puzzled. Just then, Ye Zi heard the jingle of keys outside the door. Ye Zi quickly turned off her laptop and took out the CD.
Lin Yan walked into the living room with breakfast and placed it on the dining table. He glanced at the delivery box on the coffee table and said, "Dear, you're up?"
"Yeah," Ye Zi answered as she put the CD away.
"Come and eat."
Ye Zi walked out of the bedroom with a slight smile on her face. She walked forward and pretended to be very hungry. "What did you buy?"
Lin Yan smiled and said, "Fish dumplings."
Ye Zi took a deep breath and said, "Is it the one at the end of the street?"
Lin Yan said, "Yeah, hurry up and eat. It's going to get cold soon."
Ye Zi nodded and sat down in relief. She picked up the spoon and chopsticks and started to eat heartily.
Lin Yan looked at the satisfied Ye Zi with a gentle smile in his eyes. He glanced at the delivery box on the coffee table and asked, "What did you buy?"
Ye Zi almost scalded her tongue on the dumplings. She quickly raised her hand to fan herself and said, "Something for women."
Lin Yan heard this and did not ask further.
After breakfast, Ye Zi urged Lin Yan to go to work. Lin Yan was worried about leaving Ye Zi alone at home and wanted to stay with her, but Ye Zi pushed him to the door.
"Hurry up and go to work. I'm not working now. You have to earn more money to support me."
Lin Yan smiled and leaned over to kiss Ye Zi on the cheek. "Okay, I'm going to work."
Ye Zi smiled and waved at Lin Yan. She watched Lin Yan walk into the elevator.
At this time, Ye Zi let out a sigh of relief and turned to close the door.
This CD came so strangely. Ye Zi blinked and looked at the mailing address and phone number on the delivery box. The mailing address was overseas, but the phone number was from Binhai City.
Ye Zi's brows furrowed even more deeply, her heart beating like a drum.
This phone number...
Wasn't it the one who called her last night...
She bit her lower lip and her eyes were cold and clear. She remembered that when she called back last night, it was a man who was sleeping soundly. But the voice that picked up the phone twice was not the same person.
After a moment of silence, Ye Zi picked up her phone and dialed Yao Mianan's number.
"Boss, you're early." Yao Mian 'an's lazy voice came through the phone.
Ye Zi said, "Help me find a phone number."
"What number do you think?"
Ye Zi: "13897..."
"Boss, wait a moment. I'll check it for you now."
Yao Mianan responded and got up from the bed. He turned on the computer and helped Ye Zi investigate the phone number.
Ye Zi did not hang up the phone. She stood in front of the window and waited for Yao Mianan's results.
After a while, Yao Mianan's voice came through the phone. "Boss, I found it."
Ye Zi said, "Go ahead."
"This phone number shows the phone number of the Linsen North Road Marketing Office in Binhai City. The registered name of the owner is Zhang Chaoran." Yao Mianan said, "I also checked this person called Zhang Chaoran. He is 29 years old, a civil servant. He got married the year before last and has a child."
Civil servant?!
And a child?!
Ye Zi furrowed her brows. After a moment of silence, she slowly opened her mouth and said, "En, alright, I understand."
After that, Ye Zi hung up the phone.
Zhang Chaoran? Ye Zi frowned. In her memory, she did not seem to know such a person. If she wanted to talk about [Essay] with more like-minded people, follow "Youread Literature" on WeChat.
