Chapter 48 Dawn - Hibernation
"What time is the lawyer appointment tomorrow?"

Jiang Limei concentrated on driving and was taken aback: "Are you awake?"

It's almost home now.

The apartment Jiang Limei lives in is far inferior to the high-end Ren Yujia community, and there is no privacy at all. The taxi space in the underground garage does not even have a lock. She saw a white Chevrolet parked in her parking space from a distance. Number plate to call the owner.

Ren Yu also got out of the car and stood behind her, the smell of tobacco mixed with mint hit her face.

Jiang Limei supported the wall covered in messy graffiti with one hand, thin smoke was caught between her fingers, and the other hand held the phone impatiently:

"Get down and move the car, you're taking up my parking space." Not much nonsense.

I didn't know what to say over there, so I hung up.Jiang Limei exhaled a thin puff of smoke, and complained to Ren Yu, as if talking to herself: "Damn it, the parking fee is [-] a month, and half of the time is parked by others."

"Is there no distinction between public parking spaces and private parking spaces?"

"There's a fart."

Jiang Limei stretched out her hand and turned around to signal Ren Yu:

"Look at this shabby one. You don't even change a light bulb, and you still expect the property to be a man?"

There is a sign of a private parking space above the head, but it is not conspicuous, and the parking space is tight, and there are often cars parked indiscriminately.Jiang Limei couldn't bear the disturbance, she wanted to lock it up by herself, but she forgot it when she got busy.

They waited for 10 minutes. A tall man came out of the elevator wearing flip flops, with scrawled hair and sloppy feet. He flicked the car keys and glanced at Jiang Limei:

"It's the middle of the night, can't you find another place to park? Can't you just do it?"

It's a bit of a rogue.

Jiang Limei didn't care, she extinguished her cigarette and snorted, "Well, there is a parking space in the open air two streets away, you can move your car out and go there, okay?"

The man let out a hey, and wanted to continue to argue with Jiang Limei, Ren Yu took a step forward, and half of his body was in front of Jiang Limei.

The man looked Ren Yu up and down, but finally said nothing.

In the elevator, Jiang Limei yawned: "Sorry, the house is in a mess, so I don't invite you up. Thank you for coming back with me. You can hail a car online when you go out from the main entrance."

Ren Yu didn't speak, standing behind her, his deep eyes fell on her fair shoulders and neck, the elevator ceiling light plated her skin with a layer of light gold, like a delicate and unripe fruit.

The man in the parking lot just now looked at her in the same way, and that look made him uncomfortable.

Dark garages, apartment buildings without any security measures, small advertisements and graffiti posted everywhere, old buildings and complex personnel.

Without even realizing it, the hand hidden by his side was tightly clenched.

He was a little impulsive, and blurted out: "Do you get off work so late every day?"

Ding, it only takes ten seconds for the elevator to go from B1 to F1.

The elevator door opened, and Jiang Limei walked out first, and said, "Yeah, what's the matter?"

She just went to the express cabinet at the main entrance to pick up the express.

When entering the pickup code, Ren Yu was behind her, and said in a low voice, "Maybe you can move, the environment here is not good."

He considered his words: "If you want, I can help you find a house in other places. You don't need to worry about it. I'll find it and tell you."

"No need." Jiang Limei understated: "I like to be lively, this building is a bit messy, but it is the best house I can afford in this area."

She didn't think there was anything to hide, and turned to Ren Yu with a smile: "You know how ridiculous the rent in Ling City is. After all, not everyone has a rich family background and can afford a high-end residential area. We are different. Ren Yu Yu, I'm not the second generation rich."

She used to be.

Not anymore.

The days at my stepfather's house were like a dream in ordinary life. When I woke up from the dream, the moment the sun shone on the bed, everything returned to reality.

Some things should not be owned by you, and sooner or later you have to return them.

As things are, so are people.

Jiang Limei was suddenly a little irritable.She weighed the courier box in her hand, and her eyes fell elsewhere casually:
"Ren Yu, let's make it clear, okay?"

Ren Yu's expression was calm, but his eyes were dark: "Say it."

"I am very grateful for your help during this period of time. I will remember many favors. I will consider returning them to you one by one, but you really don't have to interfere with my life many times. I am not a teenage girl anymore. , I can take care of myself, and I have lived a good life these years."

"With you or without you, I have come here all these years."

"I'm doing very well."

After Jiang Limei finished the last sentence, she looked up at Ren Yu.She saw herself clearly in Ren Yu's deep eyes again, and the too clear eyes made it impossible to hide all her desires.

Ren Yu obviously didn't have any expression. When he looked at others, his expression was focused and serious. Such eyes are often confusing, making people mistakenly think how affectionate they are.

So just now at the bar, when Jiang Limei and Huang Youhui were talking about their entrepreneurial history of blood and tears, when she saw Ren Yu standing in the dark, her heart suddenly felt a little dull.

Only when Ren Yu heard this did he show such compassion.

But she really doesn't need pity.

"Ren Yu, I'm not pitiful, and I don't need you to be my savior. It seems that my life is a mess without you. You help me, I thank you, but that's it, I don't want you to treat me I don’t need any pointers in life, medical examinations, or moving, and there are ridiculous fights for me.”

"Whether it's as a friend or a suitor, don't you care too much about me?"

A moment of silence.

At the front entrance of the apartment on the first floor, someone pushed an electric car into the elevator.The regulation that electric vehicles are not allowed to go upstairs is a joke here.

The ear-piercing noise of the elevator doors also broke the suffocating silence.

Ren Yu let out a heavy breath: "I know." His jaw tightened and his Adam's apple rolled: "I didn't pity you."

I just feel sorry for you.

Jiang Limei stared at him for a while, then hurriedly looked away: "Forget it, it doesn't matter."

Among her former suitors, there were also caring men who helped her solve some difficult problems.

At the beginning of the company, there was a lack of funds, so she had to do everything, such as planning, drawing, and financial execution for entertainment. At that time, a successful turtle stepped forward and said that she could take their angel round investment. In this way, she could recruit employees. , the company can get on the right track.Jiang Limei hesitated, but still refused.

She dreads any sticky relationships.

There is no eternal companionship and communication in the world, and less entanglement, so as not to hurt even the flesh and blood when parting.

She lowered her eyes, suppressed her emotions, and pointed out to Ren Yu where it was better to take a taxi.The traffic lights here are complicated, and some online car-hailing cars do not go to this intersection for the convenience of turning around.

Lost her temper inexplicably, Jiang Limei herself felt that she was a little too much.It's hard to tell if it's bullying or not, but Ren Yu looks gentle, polite and humble, she doesn't have any pressure to lose her temper at him.

"Feel sorry."

She threw down an apology that could not be whispered any more, turned around and left.The elevator just returned to the first floor automatically, and she hurried to catch up with this trip, but Ren Yu hurriedly grabbed her wrist.

There is a silver bracelet on Lingding's wrist, and a small wishful bracelet strung with a woven red string. It was a gift from Wu Yusi in her natal year, and she always wears it.At this moment, the little ruyi was stuck on the thin flesh of the wrist, and it was painful.

Ren Yu held her tightly, and didn't show any sign of letting go when she noticed her frowning.

"Jiang Limei," he said in a deep voice, "can you tell me how you have lived these years?"

In the empty hall in the middle of the night, there was a slight echo when speaking, the voice was like a stone thrown into a deep pool, the ripples swayed layer by layer, hitting the ears, numb.

"I know you are doing well now, you have your career and your life, but I just want to know how you got through the most difficult years before that."

Jiang Limei's heart jumped for a moment, she held her breath, and shook off the hand she was holding:

"You're talking big, Ren Yu. You said it yourself. I'm 28 years old. You know every step. Now come to ask again?"

"Yes, I said it."

Ren Yu's chest rose and fell slightly:

"But there is always something I don't know. You had an accident at home in your sophomore year, you broke up with Ren Xun, and you deleted all the contact information of your old classmates. You worked three part-time jobs a day near the school. How did you survive that time?"

"You got your degree certificate in your senior year. You didn't even take a graduation photo and suddenly disappeared. I asked for leave from my tutor and looked for you in Yangcheng for half a month. No one knew where you were. Tell you, you Where did you hide then?"

"I haven't heard from you since then. I didn't know you were in Lingshi until you started your own company. You don't know how happy and scared I am."

"You don't want people to know your current situation. I'm afraid that if I rush in front of you, you will hide in a place where I can't find you."

Ren Yu suddenly yelled loudly, with a pair of dark eyebrows and eyes, and there were terrifying waves dormant inside:
"Jiang Limei, can you tell me what are you afraid of?"
