Chapter 4
They were so close that she could hear his strong heartbeat.However, the distance of thousands of miles now gave her the illusion that she was about to lose him.

Perhaps Xi Shuoliang felt the same way.So, he pulled An Yiruo into his arms and hugged her tightly, "I'll wait for you."

These three words, An Yiruo regards them as promises.

For the first time, she traveled far away from her parents, just because he said: the best design knowledge can be absorbed there.So, she crossed the ocean and went to Paris alone, staying for a year, just to help him in his career when she came back.

So resolutely.

During the year they were separated, they were busy with their own business.Xi Shuoliang is busy starting a business and establishing his own clothing kingdom; An Yiruo is busy absorbing more things in the limited time.The two are like spinning tops that can't stop, spinning continuously in the two countries.

Occasionally when she received a call from him, she laughed, with tenderness overflowing in her chest, and then quietly listened to his instructions, "Go to bed early at night, close the doors and windows. Remember to eat breakfast before going to class, stomach is not good, eat Be extra careful..."

So meticulous and considerate, she couldn't help calling his name softly, "Shuo Liang."

"Huh?" He responded in a low voice, as if whispering in his ear.

"I miss you!" Her cheeks were slightly red, she was a little embarrassed, but she couldn't restrain the touch and longing in her heart.

In terms of love, An Yiruo has always maintained the most devout heart and the firmest determination.An Yiruo never thinks words like love are the most appropriate expression, but instead thinks that the nostalgia buried deep in his heart is the eternal sweetness.

"I'll wait for you to come back." His breath came through the radio waves, with a familiar and reassuring breath.

Thousands of words were choked in her throat, but she persisted because of a promise.

However, when she returned to China a year later, she didn't see him until three days later.

Everything seems to be the same, and everything seems to have changed silently.It's just that they didn't notice.Or, unwilling to face it.

They kept embracing for a long time. In this familiar and long-lost embrace, An Yiruo calmed down, like the noise of flying noise gradually settled down.She snuggled closer into his arms, listening to his steady and powerful heartbeat.

The eternal melody is the refuge she longs for.

I hope everything is as it used to be.

"Yi Ruo," Xi Shuoliang's voice was hoarse and charming, he sincerely apologized, "I'm sorry, I ignored you."

An Yiruo forgave without complaint as before.

"Don't be angry anymore." He hugged her gently, "I won't bother you if you say you want to calm down, but it's been more than a week, and it's enough to punish me."

I love you so much, why punish me.An Yiruo tightened his arms and hugged him back.

This silent response is like an invitation.

Xi Shuoliang smiled, and picked her up by the waist.

The moment his feet left the ground, the words "drunken sex" suddenly entered An Yiruo's mind.Her face blushed uncontrollably, there was faint anticipation, but more panic of being overwhelmed.

When the back of his head touched the soft pillow, when Xi Shuoliang began to kiss her ecstasy, An Yiruo did not indulge in it, but pulled out his hands that were held by him, and pressed his hands weakly but firmly.

Obvious impediment.

Xi Shuoliang stopped, he raised his head, his burning eyes fell on her face through the darkness, and then: "Sorry!"

Seeing the fine beads of sweat on his forehead by the moonlight, An Yiruo stroked his soft hair, and he could see the gentle expression on his face, "I'll make you a glass of honey hydrolysis to hangover."

He just laughed, leaned over and kissed her on the forehead, put her sideways into his arms and lay down, "I don't want to drink anything, I just want to hug you."

My heart suddenly felt relieved.Standing in a stalemate and refusing to meet is just waiting for his apology, right?An Yiruo finally admitted his vanity.After all, she is just a woman, and even if she can be desperate for love, she needs the other party to respond.

The two lay quietly, until Xi Shuoliang fell asleep in a daze, and An Yiruo came back to his senses.

She got up gently, went to the bathroom to wet the towel with warm water, wiped Xi Shuoliang's face, helped him take off his coat and leather shoes, put his slender legs on the bed, and finally shook off the thin quilt to cover him.After handling him, she was sweating all over herself.

It was really late, so An Yiruo went to the guest room to rest.Half-dream and half-awake, it seemed like a dream. In the dream, she was nestled happily in Xi Shuoliang's arms, relying on her wholeheartedly and full of sweetness.

It would be great if dreams could come true.

In the morning, An Yiruo was still stuck in a dream and couldn't wake up, Xi Shuoliang's thin lips had already touched her rosy cheeks.

Thinking that it was Miyu who disturbed her, An Yiruo hugged the quilt and turned over: "Don't make trouble, let me sleep for a while..."

Xi Shuoliang didn't bother her any more, and called her back to the company to arrange work before waking her up.After washing up, the two of them sat in the dining room and had breakfast, "I'll accompany you to the hospital to change your medicine first, and I'm going to G City today, and I'll be back in two days."

An Yiruo rubbed his eyes, as if he hadn't woken up: "You're busy with your work, I can go by myself, it's not too far away."

"You haven't woken up yet, how can I rest assured?" Xi Shuoliang poured a glass of milk for her, and told her, "In the past two days, you must insist on changing your dressing every day, don't lift heavy objects and don't take a bath. If you have anything to do, please ask Miyu for help. .”

An Yiruo smiled, "I'm not used to Mr. Xi suddenly becoming nagging."

Xi Shuoliang bent his lips: "Uncle An called me and asked me if I was free on the weekend, and said that I would go home with you for dinner."

An Yiruo looked up at him, "I also want to go home on the weekend, are you free?" Seeing him nodding, she smiled, "Then I'll call my mom and ask her to prepare something to eat."

Xi Shuoliang readily agreed: "Okay, then we will go back together."

On the way to the hospital, he asked, "The day before yesterday, why did you travel so far to eat? Miyu arranged it?"

Thinking of that inexplicable blind date, An Yiruo secretly scolded himself for being too self-willed. If he hadn't played with him for a while, he wouldn't have agreed to Mi Yu impulsively, and he wouldn't have caused such a big trouble.She didn't hide anymore, she told Xi Shuoliang what happened, but for some reason, she avoided the conflict with Mu Yan.

Seeing that he was silent, An Yiruo argued weakly, "If I don't go, it's hard to guarantee that Mi Yu won't quarrel with Uncle Mi. You know her character, and I don't want to cause a family conflict. At least it's perfunctory and don't be absent. When Uncle Mi asks about it, if he says he doesn't match, he'll get away with it."

Xi Shuoliang reprimanded, "You are like this, you never say 'no'. Why can't you help, go on a blind date for others? It's ridiculous."

He spoke like an elder, which made An Yiruo feel uncomfortable, but such things as blind dates are indeed inappropriate.

So, she could only say: "I'm sorry, let's not make an example."

Xi Shuoliang didn't continue this topic, but instead asked, "Do you know that policeman?"

He is so sensitive, An Yiruo is a little nervous, but Mu Yan, she really doesn't know him: "I don't know him."

Xi Shuoliang turned his head and glanced at her, as if to confirm the authenticity of her words, and then, "That person looks quite cold, if you don't need it, don't touch him."

Did he see something about Ni Duan, or was he jealous?An Yiruo automatically understood the latter.Feeling warm in her heart, she obediently agreed, "Got it."

After sending An Yiruo to the hospital, Xi Shuoliang hurried back to the company. After hosting a brief meeting, he went to the airport with the business manager.Before boarding the plane, he sent a message to An Yiruo: "Don't worry, wait for me to come back, we will go home for dinner together on weekends."

An Yiruo was sorting out the design draft, after reading his text message, he ran to the living room and shouted at Miyu: "Let's have a big dinner tonight, I invite you."

Mi Yu was leaning on the sofa with her eyes slightly closed, she paused and said, "It's not normal to be stimulated by Xi Shuoliang, can you have some backbone?"

An Yiruo didn't seem to have heard her words, humming a ditty, and went back to his room to continue working.

However, two days later, Xi Shuoliang failed to come back on time because the work was not going well.I don't know if he was used to his breaking appointments, or he was too sensible, An Yiruo neither blamed nor urged, but just went home alone.

When his parents asked about Xi Shuoliang, she still explained to him, "Recently, the company is busy and I'm on a business trip."

An's mother was actually displeased, but seeing her daughter smiling and apologizing, she didn't say anything.Father An couldn't help it anymore: "It's been three months since you returned to China, but he didn't accompany you to have a meal at home. No matter how busy you are at work, you can't ignore you like this."

Parents don't know how much An Yiruo feels for him.She held her father's arm and acted like a baby: "Shuo Liang is very career-minded, I always support him, besides, don't you also support your mother's work without limit?"

How can that be the same.The two elders of the An family looked at each other and sighed helplessly.

After dinner, An Yiruo was called into the study, and An's father asked her, "How did you and Mi Yu get involved with the case that the city is investigating?"

"You know?" An Yiruo scratched his face and said innocently, "I don't know what's going on."

"You should move back home. A girl is always worrying outside." Hearing An Yiruo recount the incident, An's father made a phone call, and then motioned for his daughter to play chess with him. After killing all the way, he confessed, "The anti-drug team is still investigating the case, and you can help if necessary."

An Yiruo replied: "Understood."

In the blink of an eye, the weekend passed, and Xi Shuoliang came back before the "New Silk Road" fashion design competition.An Yiruo went to the airport to pick him up, and then the two had lunch together.During the dinner, An Yiruo's cell phone rang.

It was an unfamiliar number, she connected: "Hi, who is it?"

A deep male voice came from the microphone: "Hi, I'm Mu Yan."

The lunch was interrupted like this, and An Yiruo was "summoned" by the anti-drug brigade.

Standing outside the glass window, Mu Yan signaled An Yiruo with his eyes to look at the five women with different outfits inside, "Take a closer look and see who you have an impression of."

An Yiruo took a closer look at the people inside one by one, but was still a little uncertain, "The second one from the left seems to have a little impression."

"It can't be like that, Ms. An." Mu Yan tilted his head, with a slight dissatisfaction on his quiet face, "This is the crux of the whole case, and it must be determined."

Xi Shuoliang also came, and he hugged An Yiruo's shoulder comfortingly, "Don't worry, take a closer look."

On the day of the accident, what left a deep impression on me was that when Miyu and Mi Yu had just parked their car in the Holy Land, a woman came in a hurry, as if to pick up the car, and their car should be next to hers.Maybe it was because he walked in a hurry, or maybe because the heel was too high, the man accidentally bumped into Mi Yu.

"I'm sorry!" The woman buried her head in apology, and before Mi Yu could speak, she took the key, opened the car door and got in.

Mi Yu glanced at her, "I'm in a hurry to reincarnate." Then he pulled An Yiruo and left.

An Yiruo glanced back inadvertently, and vaguely saw a woman looking around through the windshield.

Mi Yu followed her gaze and said, "It's not a car theft, is it? Sneaky."

In An Yiruo's eyes, there are no bad people in this world.She frowned and gave Mi Yu a sideways look, "Do you think anyone is not sneaky? Hurry up, if there is no place and you have nowhere to hide, I don't care, let alone sisters who don't help you."

But Mi Yu had already been prepared: "Don't even think about running away, I've already reserved a seat, so you just accept your fate." She stepped on her high heels and twisted her waist, "If this handsome guy falls into my eyes today, you Immediately dumped Xi Shuoliang, I really don't know what's wrong with him."

"You don't understand." An Yiruo said stubbornly, "I love him not because he is good, but because I love him and think he is good in everything, even if it is a flaw."

"It's so sour that my teeth are knocked down." Mi Yu shook the goosebumps on his body, "Didn't you say to be calm and calm, and if you really can't get along, you can separate? Now it's good to see him anywhere?"

"We have been together for such a long time, if we can let go just by saying 'separate', I really doubt if I have ever loved." As if his heart was touched, An Yiruo looked sad, "Men and women treat love differently. Men I don’t know, when it comes to love, women are particularly able to endure hardships and stand hard work, and if they are not allowed to endure hardships and stand hard work, they will be unhappy.” So when Xi Shuoliang felt sorry for her for working too hard to avoid seeing her too often, she suddenly felt a sense of loss, especially in the Seeing him having dinner with friends would make him unacceptable.

Is it worth it to cross the ocean for a love and give up a brighter future to return to him?Does Xi Shuoliang cherish your dedication and persistence?If in the end, the result is not what you expected, how will you bear it?

Mi Yu has already started to worry about An Yiruo.

As if he understood her worries, An Yiruo said in a relaxed tone: "Don't comfort me, you must be reasonable, you may not be my opponent. Don't worry, if one day I separate from Shuo Liang, I will definitely let him go." .”

But how painful it would be to let go like that.

Mi Yu didn't understand: An Yiruo is so good, why is Xi Shuoliang not satisfied?As for An Yiruo, he was already disappointed in him, why did he have to wait until he was badly injured before pulling away?

For the first time, Miyu thinks carefully: in love, should he follow his heart or be more rational.It's a pity that she didn't understand until she got married: the person who is leaving cannot be kept, and the love that is coming cannot be stopped.

The topic of love seems to have become a taboo, to be exact, Xi Shuoliang has become An Yiruo's taboo.As long as it is mentioned, it always ends badly.Fortunately, Mi Yu is a person who knows when enough is enough. She knows very well that she has no right to make decisions about An Yiruo's love, so she didn't say anything more. She only planned in her heart to create more opportunities for An Yiruo in the name of her blind date.

After the blind date, they went back to the parking lot to pick up the car, and the car next to it was still parked there.Mi Yu and An Yiruo were so focused on the failure of the blind date that they didn't even notice that the car was following them carefully all the time, and they never noticed that the woman evaded the surveillance cameras and took the illegally concealed pistol. in their trunks.When their car was stopped by the special police, someone watched their every move from a distance, nervous and excited.

"I remembered." An Yiruo looked excitedly at Mu Yan after thinking about it, "That woman has a tattoo on her arm. She almost dropped something when she bumped into Miyu, and it was exposed when she reached out to hug it. Stickers for children, who would be so childish."

Mu Yan picked up the walkie-talkie beside him: "Let them roll up their sleeves and expose their arms."

The result was surprising. Two of the five people had tattoos on their arms, and An Yiruo was not sure which one was the suspicious person he met that day, and the woman in the surveillance video kept her head down, unable to see her facial features clearly. There is no way to identify it.

The thread is broken again.

Xi Shuoliang company has something to do first.Before leaving, he told An Yiruo, "Miyu will be here in a while, you go home together when you're done. I'll visit you at night." Then he leaned over and kissed her forehead.

Such intimacy like no one else made An Yiruo blush, she nodded and said yes.

Mu Yan turned around, as if he didn't see anything.

Mi Yu also received a call from the anti-drug brigade, but she came only after finishing the rehearsal, so An Yiruo waited for her boredly for nearly an hour: "Miss, do you have a sense of time? , It has been two hours since I finished the recognition and you came."

Mi Yu still looked calm, "How can I say that I'm also in the entertainment industry, and I don't have face when I'm on call. It's called 'jiaer', understand?"

An Yiruo got angry: "I really want to dig a hole and bury you, and it can be considered as a contribution to society. Hurry up, people are waiting for you to recognize someone."

Not only was Mi Yu not in a hurry, she took out her makeup bag instead: "Wait for me to touch up my makeup."

An Yiruo turned around and kicked her.

When recognizing people, Mi Yu rubbed his chin to recall the situation that day, and then the whole person took a posture of looking up at the sky.

"I have no impression." After a long silence, she finally opened her mouth, and added a sentence that made people vomit blood at the end, "Who can remember this chaos, it caused me to die a lot of brain cells."

Mu Yan waited patiently for so long, and finally——he finally couldn't bear it anymore and said: "Girl, don't bring such a cute one."

Mi Yu laughed happily, "Mr. Police Officer, it's cooler if you keep a cold face."
