Chapter 77 Is It Him?
The east is already bright, the green lotus is cut by frost, and the autumn rain does not form beads.
In the cloakroom, Wen Baijing raised his chin slightly, with his hands hanging at his sides, standing motionless.
She was busy tying Wen Baijing's tie, but she couldn't get the tie right; it was either tilted to the left or to the right.
Seeing her clumsy appearance, Wen Baijing smiled and let her do whatever she wanted. After tying the tie, she took two steps back and looked at it carefully for a long time.
The bow tie was still not perfect enough, and she felt a little disappointed, with her brows drooping.
"It doesn't look good." She said coquettishly, with a tentative tone, "Will you dislike it?"
Wen Baijing stood in front of the mirror and adjusted his tie appropriately. He cleared his throat and teased her deliberately, "It seems that we need to add one more item to the future employee training. Let the display master teach you how to tie a tie!"
I can't help but want to pinch him. Learning how to tie a tie as a female clothing guide is not doing her job properly!
"How dare you!" She said in a soft voice, "Employees are also human beings, can you please stop torturing us?"
Because she didn't know how to tie a bow tie, other shopping guides suffered. Who knows how the employees cursed the person who came up with this bad idea behind her back.
Wen Baijing leaned close to her ear and said meaningfully, "So what do you want to do?"
Hearing the deep meaning in his words, Ye Zhenzhen was inevitably speechless. Men always enjoy talking about these things. Whatever he said could always be circumvented by this matter. He always liked to tease Ye Zhenzhen and see her blushing and speechless.
"do not move."
Wen Baijing took the jewelry box and took out the necklace. He parted Ye Zhenzhen's hair and carefully put the necklace on her.
The lotus flower inlaid with diamonds below the clavicle blooms brilliantly on the neck. Under the light, the diamonds emit colorful fragments of light.
"Do you like it?" He stood behind her, his hands on Ye Zhenzhen's shoulders, his voice gentle.
Looking in the mirror, with the sparkling light blooming on her chest, Ye Zhenzhen nodded and smiled knowingly.
"Thank you." She pursed her lips and said softly.
It turned out that Wen Baijing had not forgotten. Moved, she held Wen Baijing's arm, stood on tiptoe and gently kissed his face.
Receiving a gift from your loved one is a very happy thing. To her, the value is not important, what matters most is the thought behind it.
The uneasiness in her heart increased for no reason. She couldn't help but think about what Lu Yu said. If this was just a dream, she would rather be trapped in the dream and hope that she would never wake up in this life.
After seeing Wen Baijing off, she sat on the sofa and checked the price on her phone. Her heart was pounding and her hands were shaking uncontrollably. Thinking that it would be inconvenient to wear the necklace to work and afraid that her colleagues would ask about it, she took it off.
...
Ye Mao still picked her up from get off work every day, and he wouldn't leave no matter how hard he tried. It seemed that the shadow left by the previous incident would not be easily erased in a short time.
On weekends, Ye Zhenzhen works the early shift.
Before she even walked out of the store, Ye Mao and Wang You were standing at the escalator not far away, waiting to pick her up from get off work.
The three siblings walked side by side, talking and laughing. Wang You said she wanted to go to the bathroom, and Ye Zhenzhen and her brother were waiting for her nearby.
Wen Baijing was wearing a custom-made black suit, his face calm, and he walked slowly towards them from not far away.
The noble temperament comes with the sense of aloofness and relaxation of a superior.
In the crowded crowd, he stood out like a crane among chickens. From the moment Ye Zhenzhen saw him, she stared at him without blinking.
It was not until he came to her slowly that Ye Zhenzhen came back to her senses. Bright stars flashed in his unfathomable eyes.
"Sister, why don't you move! To a better neighborhood, so I can feel more at ease." Ye Mao whispered in her ear. She didn't hear what her brother said at all, and was only focused on looking at Wen Baijing.
Before she could answer.
"Zhenzhen..." Wen Baijing's tone was slightly gentle, and it took only a second to melt her.
She was immersed in that deep pool, and always saw a small reflection in those glowing eyes.
His lips slightly parted, about to speak.
Seeing this, Ye Mao beside him couldn't help but ask: "Sister, who is this?"
Before he finished speaking, he reached out to pull Ye Zhenzhen's sleeve.
She looked at Ye Mao from the side, her expression was extremely stiff, and her heartbeat seemed to stop for a few seconds.
She didn't know what to say, but she didn't know how to say it. It was so sudden that she was unprepared.
Wen Baijing said nothing, but just stared at her, with a hint of anticipation in his eyes.
"I..." Ye Zhenzhen's sleeve was pulled by her brother. She felt her mouth dry and blood rushing to her head.
To tell or not to tell, I was in a dilemma, and I couldn't think of a way to have the best of both worlds. To be honest, it was so embarrassing to break up. They were too different. My brother would definitely tell my parents when he knew about it, but I didn't want my family to worry about it. If I didn't tell him, Wen Baijing would definitely be heartbroken.
Until his expectant eyes gradually dimmed.
Ye Zhenzhen hadn't figured out how to answer. The hot ceiling light was shining on her, and her palms were sweating.
"You are Ye Mao, right?"
Wen Baijing took two steps forward, breaking the deadlock first and speaking softly.
Then he took the initiative to extend his hand, ready to shake hands with Ye Mao.
Ye Mao protected Ye Zhenzhen behind him and asked in confusion: "How do you know my name?"
Ye Zhenzhen was dumbfounded by her brother's reaction. Standing behind her brother, her head was buzzing.
The hand with distinct joints stayed in mid-air for a long time.
Wen Baijing looked at her, his eyes resting on her face as if asking a silent question.
"Ye Mao, this is..." Ye Zhenzhen pulled at her brother's clothes, the words stuck in her throat, unable to come out.
Ye Mao turned his head to look at her, his face turning red and white.
"Did you bully my sister?"
Wen Baijing and Ye Zhenzhen were extremely shocked when they heard this.
"Ye Zhenzhen, is it him?" Ye Mao suddenly pulled her to the front and let her confront Wen Baijing face to face.
Her balance was unstable and she staggered forward.
Wen Baijing subconsciously stretched out his hand to help her, but was blocked by Ye Mao.
The hands were somewhat dejected, and slowly withdrew. He liked to pinch Ye Zhenzhen's cheeks the most, saying that it felt good.
Helping her brother to stand steadily, she hurriedly explained.
"No, what nonsense are you talking about..." Ye Zhenzhen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, her voice was extremely flustered.
"Sister, what are you doing?" Wang You came from a distance, and seeing that the atmosphere between the three people was not right, he hurried over.
"You take me away first." Ye Mao said, pushing Ye Zhenzhen towards Wang You.
"No, listen to me..." Before she could finish her words, she was pushed towards the corridor by Wang You.
Ye Zhenzhen turned around and prepared to run back, but Wang You stopped her firmly. She failed to run back after dodging left and right for a long time.
"Wang You, listen to me..." She was weak and no match for Wang You, and was blocked tightly. Sweat kept coming out of her forehead due to anxiety.
She staggered backwards towards the passage, standing on tiptoes and looking left and right at Wen Baijing.
She was afraid that Ye Mao would attack Wen Baijing impulsively, and she was also worried that Wen Baijing would be disappointed with her performance just now.
It was not until she was pushed to the corner of the stairs by Wang You that Wen Baijing disappeared from sight.
"Ye Mao, let's talk." Wen Baijing spoke patiently and gently.
In the cafe downstairs, the two sat opposite each other.
Ye Mao's expression was not very friendly. Ye Zhenzhen, who was usually talkative in front of acquaintances, had just shown this. He guessed that the relationship between the two was not simple.
"What did you do to my sister?"
Wen Baijing was stunned. It was the first time they met and they were talking about this topic. Even though he was calm and had seen a lot of things in the world, he couldn't bring himself to say it.
"..."
The way the siblings think is really different from that of ordinary people.
"You look well-dressed and you don't look like someone who would do such a thing. Why did you bully my sister?" Ye Mao continued to ask.
Seeing that he was determined to keep talking about this topic, Wen Baijing raised his hand and pinched the bridge of his nose.
After thinking for a moment, Wen Baijing followed his topic and asked, "How did I bully your sister?"
"you..."
