Early in the morning, the sun shone through the gaps in the curtains and shone on Ye Zi's pale face. Her long eyelashes fluttered slightly and she slowly opened her eyes.
She did not sleep well that night. When she woke up, she felt as though her body was about to fall apart.
Just as she moved her neck, Ye Zi realized that she had a stiff neck.
"What's wrong?"
Lin Yan's gentle voice came from outside the door.
She looked in the direction of the voice. Ye Zi pouted her lips and looked aggrieved. "I have a stiff neck."
"Ha." Lin Yan could not help but smile. He walked over and sat down. His long and fair hands gently massaged Ye Zi's neck.
Gradually, Ye Zi's neck felt a little more comfortable. She turned her head to look at Lin Yan and said gently, "Thank you."
Lin Yan raised his hand and tapped the tip of Ye Zi's nose gently.
Ye Zi's pretty face blushed and she lowered her long eyelashes.
Lin Yan liked this side of Ye Zi. She always behaved like a little girl. He held Ye Zi's hand and rubbed it gently. Ye Zi conveniently leaned her head on Lin Yan's strong shoulder.
It was quiet.
Ye Zi only wanted this kind of stable life, but unfortunately, that pair of eyes peeking at her in the dark … ….
Her heart skipped a beat and she bit her lip hard.
Lin Yan seemed to have noticed Ye Zi's strange behavior. His long and narrow eyes narrowed slightly. However, when Ye Zi looked at him, the doubt in the depths of his eyes was instantly swept away.
Ye Zi forced a faint smile and asked gently, "Don't you need to go to work today?"
Lin Yan said, "I don't have to work recently. I'm off today."
Ye Zi nodded thoughtfully.
Lin Yan poured a cup of warm water for Ye Zi. "Oh yes, Qin Chen bought a villa in the suburbs and wants to invite us over …"
"Lin Yan."
Before he finished speaking, Ye Zi suddenly opened her mouth and lightly called his name, interrupting him, saying, "I'm not feeling well, I don't want to go."
Lin Yan smiled and did not show any strange expression because of Ye Zi's refusal. He nodded slightly. "Okay then, but Jian Xia may be very disappointed."
Hearing this, Ye Zi frowned slightly. "Why do you say that?"
Lin Yan smiled and said, "Jian Xia also wants everyone to see how the renovation that she personally supervised is going."
"Oh, I see."
Ye Zi nodded. She did not want to spoil everyone's mood. After a moment of silence, she looked up at Lin Yan with gentle eyes. "Okay, let's go together."
Lin Yan did not want to force Ye Zi, but he hoped that he could take Ye Zi to relax. During this period, although Lin Yan did not know what had happened to Ye Zi, he could tell that something difficult to solve had happened recently. Otherwise, his little girl would not have ended the Scent Sniffing Detective Agency.
The detective agency was Ye Zi's adoptive father's lifeblood, and Ye Zi regarded it as her life. But now …
Lin Yan looked at Ye Zi, and his obsidian-like eyes subconsciously darkened.
In a flash, Lin Yan's thin lips parted slightly, his voice faint and low as he said, "Then get ready. Qin Chen will drive over to pick us up in a bit."
"Okay." Ye Zi nodded and walked to the bathroom.
Ye Zi's expression was gloomy as she held her toothbrush in her mouth and looked at her reflection in the mirror. Ye Zi felt that she had become a lot more haggard in such a short period of time. There were still thick dark circles under her eyes.
She moved closer to the mirror and combed her long hair, which was as black as satin.
Buzz …
The phone beside the sink suddenly vibrated.
Ye Zi's heart suddenly tightened.
She hurriedly glanced sideways and looked at the phone on the sink.
It was still the same unknown number. In an instant, Ye Zi's heart seemed to skip a beat. She swallowed hard and let go of her slender hand that was gathering her hair.
As she let go of her hand, her long hair cascaded down like a waterfall. She exhaled a breath of turbid air in her chest, picked up the phone, and looked at the text message from the mysterious man.
"Have fun."
There were only five words in the text message, but Ye Zi's eyes suddenly narrowed.
How did he know?!
Ye Zi had just promised Lin Yan that she wanted to go to Qin Chen's villa. How could …
Her amber-like eyes shrank in her eye sockets, and the slender hand holding the phone couldn't help but tremble.
Ye Zi hurriedly spat out the toothpaste foam in her mouth, turned around, opened the bathroom door, and rushed to the window. She pulled the curtain open and looked out of the window.
No!
No one was peeping.
But this …
Bang, bang, bang …
In an instant, Ye Zi's heart beat like a drum, and her heart seemed to be about to jump out of her throat.
She subconsciously clenched her hands into fists, and her pale knuckles made a cracking sound.
"What's wrong?"
Suddenly, Lin Yan's voice came from behind Ye Zi. She immediately restrained the frightened expression on her face, slowly turned her head, shook her head slightly, and said, "No, nothing. I just want to see if Qin Chen and the others have come."
Lin Yan put his face, which was enough to make thousands of girls in the whole city go crazy for him, in front of Ye Zi. He pulled up a strand of her long hair, tucked it behind her ear, and slowly bent down to give a light kiss on the side of Ye Zi's face.
Ding dong.
The doorbell interrupted the brief moment of affection between the two.
Lin Yan turned around and walked out of the bedroom to open the door. Ye Zi looked out of the window again.
If someone was watching them on the 22nd floor, the other party could only be on the opposite side. But last time, after Lin Yan found out that someone was peeping, they didn't find out that someone was watching them.
Moreover, she had just promised to go to the suburbs with Lin Yan, so it was impossible for him to know!
Then, there was only one way to find out!
Ye Zi suddenly opened her eyes wide. She suddenly thought of — a listening device.
Taking advantage of the time when Lin Yan opened the door, Ye Zi quickly bent down and stretched her white hand under the bed. She touched it a few times, and suddenly, her eyes narrowed. Someone really installed a listening device under the bed.
Listening to the sound outside the bedroom, Ye Zi didn't take out the listening device. The footsteps were getting closer, and Ye Zi frowned slightly. She quickly got up and pretended that nothing had happened.
Lin Yan walked in and saw that Ye Zi's face was pale, and her lips were pale. He walked straight over and stopped in front of Ye Zi. His face was solemn, and his brows were deeply furrowed. He asked in a deep voice, "Are you not feeling well?"
The corners of Ye Zi's mouth curled up slightly, and she smiled faintly. She shook her head slightly. "It's nothing, just a little headache. I'll take a painkiller later."
"If you don't want to go, you don't have to force yourself." Lin Yan gently touched Ye Zi's forehead, and he felt a little warm.
Ye Zi smiled. "I'm really fine. You go out and have a chat with Qin Chen first. I'm going to change my clothes."
"Change your clothes?" Lin Yan raised his eyebrows slightly, and the corners of his mouth curled up. "How can I not be present for such a spectacular scene?"
"Go to hell."
Ye Zi pushed Lin Yan out of the bedroom and locked the door. Then, she bent down and took out the listening device from under the bed.
Pervert!
Ye Zi's pupils congealed, a pair of eyes suffused with a chill. She stared unblinkingly at the black mini listening device in her hand.
In a flash, she threw the listening device on the floor and then stomped it hard.
Hearing the movement in the bedroom, Lin Yan knocked on the door. "Ye Zi, are you okay?"
"No, I'm fine." Ye Zi cleaned up the debris on the floor, opened the window, and threw it out. Then, she found a sweater in the closet, put it on, and walked out of the bedroom.
Qin Chen and Jian Xia were sitting on the sofa in the living room. When they saw Ye Zi coming out, Jian Xia went to greet her.
"You must take a good look today. I especially like the rooftop of the villa." Jian Xia's face was filled with an excited smile. She held Ye Zi's hand and said with a smile, "I think you will like it."
Watching Ye Zi and Jian Xia walk out of the house excitedly, Lin Yan and Qin Chen looked at each other and said in unison, "That's a woman."
The car drove out of the city. Huge white clouds floated in the blue sky, as if they were within reach.
After a few days of falling snow, the air was cool and clear. Ye Zi opened the window, and the cold air rushed into the car. She couldn't help but shiver and subconsciously tightened her collar. Fresh air could always clear people's minds.
"Don't you feel cold?" Jian Xia moved closer to Ye Zi and took a deep breath of the cold air.
Ye Zi smiled and shook her head. "I like the air in the suburbs."
"We have a villa next door. Why don't you ask Lin Yan to buy it? That way, we can be neighbors." Jian Xia said, unable to hide the excitement in her eyes.
Ye Zi smiled and raised her eyebrows. "Don't you and Qin Chen already have a villa in the suburbs? If Lin Yan and I want to take a vacation, we can go to your place. In any case, you and Qin Chen won't refuse Lin Yan."
Jian Xia wrinkled her nose and raised her hand to touch Ye Zi's forehead. Then, she looked at the passenger seat through the rearview mirror. She curled her lips and said, "Lin Yan, look. Ye Zi hasn't married you yet, but she's already helping you save money."
Lin Yan just smiled and said nothing. Soon, Qin Chen drove into the villa area in the suburbs.
Ye Zi got out of the car and saw To Look Around and Yao Mianan making a snowman outside the door from afar.
"They're here too?!" Ye Zi looked at Lin Yan, and her face suddenly lit up.
Lin Yan nodded with a smile and rubbed Ye Zi's head. "It's very lively with them here."
Ye Zi smiled and gave Lin Yan a hug. "Thank you."
As soon as she said that, she was suddenly attacked by a small snowball behind her. She turned around and saw To Look Around. She stuck out her tongue at her.
"Well, you Panda. See if I don't teach you a good lesson!"
Ye Zi put her hands on her waist. She seemed to have returned to the energetic girl she was before.
She grabbed a ball of snow, rolled it into a snowball, and threw it at To Look Around. After a while, the few of them were playing together.
However, in the forest not far away, someone was using binoculars to spy on their every move. If you want to talk about [Essay] with more like-minded people, follow "Youread Literature" on WeChat.
