Seven years

Chapter 11 Snow is too cold, I'm afraid of the cold
The night before going abroad, Li Binghuan knocked on Mu Xue's door. Mu Xue had just taken a shower, her hair was wet, and there were still drops of water on her fair and tender face. She wiped her hair and asked, "Is there something wrong?"

Li Binghuan handed her a big paper bag, "My friends will practice for me tonight, you can go together."

After closing the door, Mu Xue opened the paper bag, and inside was an evening dress.It looks like advanced customization at first glance, but...

"Isn't it too ostentatious to go out wearing this?" Mu Xue went to look for Li Binghuan with a paper bag, but found him waiting outside the door.

"Didn't you study design? If you don't dare to wear it?" He raised his eyebrows and said in a provocative tone, but with a smile in the corner of his eyes, he said, "All my friends have seen the world, no I will make a fuss. I believe my vision is not bad, and you will definitely be the focus of tonight after wearing it." Seeing that Mu Xue still didn't move, he pushed her, "Go in, I'll wait for you to come out."

Mu Xue closed the door again, thinking: "Isn't it just a piece of clothing? Is there anything you dare not wear!"

But when she opened the door to meet Lee Byung-hwan's gaze, she still bowed her head shyly.Although I learned to design, the clothes I designed have never been worn by myself. I usually wear very simple and clean styles, but this mermaid tulle evening dress with layers of soft yarn is really eye-catching. Look at the other party now. You can tell by your eyes.

Li Binghuan calmed down, raised the corners of his mouth with a beautiful arc, and said proudly: "I just said that my eyesight is not bad." He took out a McQueen black and white clutch and put it in her hand like a magic trick , "Get ready and go."

A silver-gray estoque was parked outside. Li Byung-hwan opened the door for her, and carefully fastened her seat belt after getting in the car. He started the engine and said, "Since my dad wants me to take care of you, you can join me in my life in the future." It is inevitable, so I will take you to meet some of my good friends first."

The heater in the car was very strong, Mu Xue didn't speak, she looked at the moving scenery outside the window, she didn't know what she was thinking.It was completely dark, and in winter, there were far fewer people on the street than before, and the bitter wind made people shrink their necks into their collars.After a while, Mu Xue's eyes suddenly lit up looking outside, and she murmured, "It's snowing."

"What?" Li Binghuan held the steering wheel, and when he heard Mu Xue's words, he also raised his head and looked up at the sky. In the dark sky, a little bit of white slowly floated, and it really snowed.

He looked at Mu Xue, her face was facing to the right, he couldn't see the expression clearly, he could only hear her voice faintly, "Is this the first snow this year?"

For some reason, this sentence made him sound a little sad.In fact, Mu Xue didn't talk much during the past two days at home, except for eating, she was locked in the room most of the time, just to make her happy, so she just thought of taking her out to relax tonight.

"Yes." Li Binghuan replied, "The snow came quite late this year."

"That's right, it's too late." Mu Xue kept that posture and didn't move.

Li Binghuan looked forward and felt that it would be there in 10 minutes. He asked, "Do you like snow?"

Mu Xue turned her face away and was silent for a few seconds, "I don't like it."

Li Binghuan almost blurted out: "Why? Girls will like something as romantic as snow, right?"

Mu Xue didn't speak, Li Binghuan thought she was upset, so he stopped talking, turned a corner, went into another street, and stopped in front of a courtyard.He unbuckled his seat belt, and heard Mu Xue suddenly say, "Because it's snowing and it's too cold, I'm afraid of the cold."

Li Binghuan took off his coat and put it on her, and said with a smile, "This way it won't be cold."

Mu Xue smiled lightly, saw him staring at her intently, touched her face in doubt, "Is there something dirty on my face?"

"No," Li Binghuan reached out and touched her head unconsciously, "I just saw you look good when you smile."

Mu Xue shrank back subconsciously, and felt that doing so might make the other party feel embarrassed, so she opened the car door and said, "Get out of the car."

This garden villa is the home of a friend named Ah Rong, and a party was specially held for Li Binghuan to send him off.At the door, Mu Xue took off her coat and handed it to Li Binghuan, "Thank you."

The two security guards outside the gate opened the door for them. Mu Xue was about to go in when Li Binghuan grabbed her, "Wait a minute."

He was about a head taller than Mu Xue, and Mu Xue raised her head and looked at him suspiciously.Li Binghuan took a step closer to her, held her face in one hand, and gently patted the snowflakes off her hair with the other.

"...I'll do it myself." Mu Xue turned around, lowered her head and smoothed her hair.

Li Binghuan walked in front and said, "It's time to go in."

It was cold outside, but it was very lively inside.Ah Rong, Hai Dong, and Jing Shi stood by the table with champagne in their hands, watching Li Binghuan and Mu Xue walk over with smirks on their faces.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time, and finally I'm here." The host Ah Rong said, he looked at Mu Xue who looked like a mermaid princess in front of him, and then looked him up and down, "This is the Mu Xue you mentioned, she is such a beauty."

"Hello." Mu Xue greeted.

Jing Shi pulled Mu Xue to her side, as if the two were not meeting for the first time, but they had known each other for many years, pointing at Li Binghuan and said: "Apart from his sister, this is the first time he has brought a girl to see us, look, he My face is all red."

Li Binghuan was not annoyed by her joke, and said with a smile: "Don't be too enthusiastic, so as not to frighten others."

The three of them took advantage of the situation and began to coax in a strange manner. Mu Xue understood that there was something in their words, and she just felt embarrassed when she stood there.It was still Haidong who was careful and took care of him and said, "Mu Xue, we are used to joking around, so don't take it to heart. There is food and drink here, you can take it yourself if you like it, don't be polite."

"Why are you snatching my words?!" Arong pushed Haidong away pretending to be annoyed, and said to Mu Xue with a smile, "Mu Xue, is there anything you like? You are welcome at my house!"

Li Binghuan saw that Muxue hadn't fully adapted to the noisy environment and unfamiliar faces here, so he walked up to her and talked with her, took her to taste some desserts, drank some drinks, and introduced her to friends he knew.

Elegant violin music floats melodiously in the air, and it's time to dance.Mu Xue thought the champagne was delicious, so she drank a few more sips.A girl in a vintage dress boldly invited Li Binghuan to dance. Li Binghuan smiled at her, took a step forward, but turned around and put his hand in front of Mu Xue.

"Huh?" Mu Xue recovered from the low-alcohol alcohol, saw the girl's face so angry that she was about to explode, and then looked at the gentleman-like man in front of her. She pursed her lips, winked at him, and whispered Say, "I won't."

Before she finished speaking, Mu Xue only felt that someone was holding her around her waist, and turned around a few times lightly, and turned to the center of the ball. The light dimmed at some point, leaving only a ray of chasing light chasing their figures.

"Don't be afraid, follow my footsteps." Li Binghuan's voice rang softly in his ears.

Mu Xue moved her feet in a panic, trying to follow him as much as possible, but she still accidentally stepped on him a few times, she couldn't bear it.Fortunately, people only paid attention to the faces of the two people who looked like golden boys and girls. No one cared how they danced, as long as they were pleasing to the eye.After seeing the end of the dance, Li Binghuan turned his face away like a juggler, and when he turned around, he held a rose in his mouth. After the song, he made a gesture of thanking his partner, and handed the rose in front of Mu Xue. He said something to her that he will never forget in his life.

"Mu Xue, welcome to my world."

……

…………

Welcome to my world, and now, you are disappearing from my world bit by bit.

In a 24-hour convenience store closest to home, Li Yanzhen stood in the fruit section and picked some fresh pears, and was about to take the bag to the front desk to pay the bill, when a familiar yet unfamiliar voice came from behind: "Yanzhen !"

She could tell who the speaker was just by the tone of her voice, but she turned around and saw Yi Kuang, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, with a proper smile that was neither cold nor flattering, "Hi."

"You're here to buy pears so late?" Yi Kuang asked while looking at the bag in her hand.

Li Yanzhen raised her hand, "My brother drank too much, I used it to sober him up."

Without waiting for the other party to ask, Yi Kuang called out the truth first: "Just now I went out for supper with my friends, and when I came back, I realized that there was no food at home, so I happened to pass by and came in. I didn't expect to meet you."

The corner of Li Yanzhen's mouth twitched, she nodded, said nothing, and walked towards the cashier, but was stopped by Yi Kuang: "Yanzhen, although we broke up, can't there be greetings between ordinary friends?"

Li Yanzhen stopped and looked directly at him, "Of course, but my brother is still waiting for me to go back, I have to go first."

"Yanzhen..." Yi Kuang caught up with her as she paid the money and was about to leave the store, "Yanzhen, listen to me!"

"If you have anything to say, please speak quickly, I'm in a hurry."

"Yanzhen, is it necessary for us to be so close when we talk?" Yi Kuang looked at her disappointedly, "I haven't forgotten you after being separated from you for so long, and I don't have the courage to look for you. I finally met today. I'm telling you from my heart...Actually, after breaking up with you, I really regret it, I don't want to be separated from you, can...can you give me another chance? Let's start again, shall we?"

Li Yanzhen just thought it was funny after hearing his words, "Yi Kuang, did you drink too much too? Do you want to eat a pear?"

Yi Kuang looked serious, and said with a serious face: "I'm serious, I'm not joking with you."

"Then I advise you to go home early and have a rest." Li Yanzhen sneered, "If you want to be ordinary friends with me, you can, no problem, but if you want me to give you another chance, it is absolutely impossible. Since we don't If it's suitable, why insist on being tied together, wouldn't it be better to get together and get together like before? Isn't it ridiculous that you said these things to me now? I will pretend that I didn't hear what you said tonight. "

"Yanzhen..." Yi Kuang wanted to say something but was refuted by her, so he could only call her name.

Li Yanzhen waved to him with her back, leaving a back view, "Goodbye!"

"Ask the kitchen to cook some clear porridge for the young master." Li Zeyu had just ordered to go when he heard his daughter open the door and come back.

Li Yanzhen changed into a pair of cotton and dragged her in. Seeing that her father was still in the living room, she asked, "Dad, why don't you go to bed so late."

Li Zeyu then lowered his posture, pointed in the direction of the bathroom, shook his head and said, "Just now your brother vomited again."

"He must be hurting his stomach by vomiting like this. I'll peel a pear for him to hangover first, and then cook something for him to fill his stomach." Li Yanzhen put the bag on the coffee table as she said, and picked up the fruit knife skillfully. Peel the skin.

"I've already made arrangements for the kitchen." Li Zeyu said without revealing his expression, he looked up at the pendulum clock, it was already late, "Why did it take you so long to buy pears just now?"

Being asked this question, Li Yanzhen thought of that annoying person again, "It's nothing, I just met a friend and chatted for a few words."

"Well, well, your brother will trouble you to take care of it. I'm also tired and want to sleep."

"Okay, Dad, go to sleep, leave it to me." While talking, a pear had already been peeled, and she split it into two halves, and took a piece to the bathroom.I saw Li Binghuan lying on the side of the toilet with her head buried in her hands, as if she had fallen asleep there. She patted her brother's shoulder lightly, resisting the disgusting smell, and whispered: "Brother, are you feeling better?" ? Do you want to eat a pear? It should be useful."

Li Binghuan didn't respond, Yanzhen asked again, and then he gestured with his hands to tell her to go away.Yanzhen thought for a while, and just squeezed the pears into juice, maybe he would drink some more, thinking like this, she heard the sound of vomiting behind after walking a few steps, she hurried back, and saw that Li Binghuan was about to With the appearance of vomiting out all the viscera, he asked, "Brother, do you want some water? I'll pour some for you? Do you want paper?"

Seeing him nodding, Yan Zhen hurriedly found paper and water, squeezed pear juice again, finally persuaded her brother to drink it, and spit it out again within a few minutes.But it's okay, it's better to have something to vomit than nothing to vomit. After doing the math, I vomited four or five times in one night. How much alcohol did I have to drink? Seeing her brother collapsed, Yan Zhen felt very distressed.

She walked into the living room and made a phone call, her silhouette reflected in the floor-to-ceiling windows.After several beeps in a row, the other party's voice came from inside: "Hello?"

"Sister Mu Xue..." Li Yanzhen lowered her voice, "Brother, he came back from drinking a lot of wine and kept throwing up... I know it's so late and I shouldn't bother you, but I'm really worried about him. I think only you have it." There is a way to make him better, can you... can you come and see?"

Mu Xue's voice sounded very tired, she didn't know if she had just woken up from a dream or she hadn't slept all night, she was a few seconds behind before she said: "Yanzhen, I'm sorry, now I... have no face to appear in front of your brother, he saw you I will only be more sad, I... I'm really sorry, and please trouble you to take care of him... I'm sorry."

"Sister Mu Xue..." Li Yanzhen called out a few times, but the other party hung up the phone decisively.She looked at the night outside the window and was a little lost. She didn't understand what happened between the two of them and why they were fine before. She thought that Mu Xue was the definite future sister-in-law, but she didn't accept her brother's marriage proposal. With a deep love, could it be that Mu Xue has someone else she likes?But after being in contact with Mu Xue for so long, I haven't seen her get close to other men, so it's not possible.

Alas, the matter of feelings sometimes seems very simple, and sometimes it is too complicated.My own affairs are in a mess, let alone others.

Yan Zhen didn't think about it anymore, and when her brother got better, she helped him to the room to lie down.Maybe it was too tired, and after returning to his room, he fell asleep as soon as he touched the pillow.
