On the night of the class reunion, Ding Yueyao exhausted her last bit of pride at the door of the old bungalow.
The night breeze was slightly cool, and the curly hair was messy.
The lights inside the door are bright, but the owner has already changed.
Car lights pierced the darkness, and someone pushed the door open and got out of the car.
It's Zhou Xingyuan.
The second son of the Zhou family in Jiangcheng, he is a frequent guest in financial magazines.
At this moment, the alienation in his eyes was darker than the night.
"Is something wrong?"
She didn't answer, she just looked up at the familiar curved balcony, and her voice was as soft as saying to herself: "This... Used to be my home."
He was silent for a moment, then opened the car door sideways: "Get in the car."
The soft sound of the seat belt buckle was particularly clear in the silence.
At the investment dinner party a few days later, the PPT screen projection failed.
A secret photo was enlarged in front of everyone - in the dark carriage, he leaned close to her, and her curly hair swept across his arm.
Amid the uproar, he looked at her with bottomless eyes:
"Since we've all been photographed, we won't hide it."
"Sit over here."
Ding Yueyao has been tenacious and independent since she was a child, and she has lived soberly even after falling into poverty. She gave all her rare losses to Zhou Xingyuan.
For example, be his contracted lover for seven days.
Like moving into the Hyde mansion he bought and she lost.
For example, late at night when his grandfather was critically ill, he promised to be his girlfriend again.
For example... When he found the yellowed sketch of a thirteen-year-old curly-haired girl in his wallet, he still thought it was not a stand-in.
Later, on a rainy night, she fled back to her old house.
He chased after him, his expensive leather shoes stepped into the muddy water, and veins popped out on the back of his hand holding the check:
"It's not a substitute! Ding Yueyao, the person in the painting——"
"It's always been you!"
Purpose: Healing and warmth
