V2.Chapter 18

The night is getting dark. Near eleven o'clock, Yi Yao is sitting alone on the bench by the river, looking at the sparkling river with dim lights. Yi Yao picks up a can of beer from the side, skillfully opens it, and looks at the distance with lonely eyes and drinks a sip of beer.

The cool wind gently blows her hair, and gradually becomes messy, but Yi Yao doesn't want to manage it. There are still tears on her face, even some eye makeup.

A ship came on the river, and the roaring sound of the whistle came into her colorless eyes, but she was thinking about herself and Xiao Yulin.

In the end, she shrank.

After drinking a can of beer, Yi Yao took a deep breath, picked up a can of beer again, opened it and drank it. He didn't pay attention to the five or six empty beer cans on the left.

She almost forgot how long she had been sitting here. She had no time for this idea.

She once missed her warm family in the lonely and prosperous America, but when she came back again, she found that the warmth she missed was actually from her reverie, and the coldness remained unchanged.

After drinking some of the beer, Yi Yao raised his hands and scratched his scalp. Without any intoxication, he got up and put the cans on the ground into the bag and threw them into the garbage can. He walked along the river blindly and aimlessly.

The noise at night is much less than that during the day, but there are still pedestrians and vehicles on the road. The sound of people's playing and chatting comes into Yi Yao's ear, filling her empty heart with no sense of security.

The reason why she didn't want to go back to the apartment was that the apartment was so quiet that even she felt that she had no hope, and the noise was an invisible comfort to her, proving that she still existed in the world.

Mingming was wearing high-heeled shoes, but she didn't feel tired after walking for more than half an hour. She went to the bus stop and got on the last bus to the apartment. Yi Yao leaned her head against the window, took out her mobile phone from her bag, hesitated, turned it on, and the screen flashed, One after another, when she didn't answer the phone and information, she fell into her eyes.

Especially the missed call with the words "Xiao Yulin" is particularly eye-catching. Yi Yao gently opens the wechat, looks at the message Xiao Yulin sent to him, sighs silently, and punches a line of simple words "let's break up!" with sharp fingers, And always reluctant to send out.

Once it's sent out, it means that the love between them will end. But if it goes on, she is really afraid that her family will hurt him, and deeply feels that she is high with him.

To the end, the short five words she was unable to send out, also did not delete, became the chat dialog in the draft.

After getting off the bus, the mobile phone rang again. Yi Yao didn't even bother to look at it, so he went straight to the apartment.

After arriving at the floor where the apartment is located, Yi Yao steps out of the elevator, lowers his head and goes to his own door, completely ignoring the shadow of Wei'an standing at the door.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Xiao turned her head and looked at the way she was walking. Half of her mental arithmetic was put down, put her mobile phone into her pocket, walked over with anger, grabbed her wrist and said angrily, "where have you been? Why are you back now? Why does the mobile phone turn off and just turned on, why don't you pick it up? "

Yi Yao is frightened to suddenly raise head, see his originally gentle handsome appearance float up to the obvious anger, the whole person is all stunned.

When Xiao Yulin looked up, she saw that her eyes were red and her makeup had gone. Her heart was pulled together in an instant. Just now, her anger was gone, leaving only heartache. She gently took her into her arms and hugged her tightly: "fool, do you know how worried I am about you?"

With a warm embrace, let Yi Yao's nose sour again, can't help but shed tears, raised his hand to grasp his clothes, sobbed softly.

Listening to her cry, Xiao Yulin kept kissing her head and comforting: "I'm here, I'm here."

When she was about to cry, Xiao Yu Lin gently pushed her away and wiped away the tears on her face. When she pulled up her hand, she found that her hand was almost like ice. There was no temperature at all. She looked at her eyebrows and said, "Why are your hands so cold? I still have such a strong smell of beer. Where did I go? "

"No... just a meeting by the river." Yi Yao lowered his head, pulled back his hand from his hand, crossed him, entered the password on the door, then opened the door and went in.

It seems to feel her seemingly indifferent and alienated feeling. Xiao Yulin is a little displeased. She turns around and walks in. She sees her one leg bending on the sofa, her forehead sticking to her knees, and she closes the door with her backhand. Then she hears her weak but cool voice: "you go! I'm fine now. "

"As soon as you encounter something, you want to push away my fault. When can you change it?" Xiao Yu Lin twisted her eyebrows, took two steps and one step, went directly to her, sat down, reached for her shoulder, let her look up at herself: "I know what you are thinking, I have been to your parents."

"What?" Yi Yao's pupil opens big, the vision some dull looking at him: "you... What meaning?"? Have you met my parents? "

Xiao nodded her head seriously and gently took her hand: "I couldn't get through to you after the dinner party over there, and I didn't see you at home or in the law firm, so I went to ask for some worries..."

"I... did my parents say anything strange to you? They... "

"Don't be nervous. They just told me why you didn't see me. Now I know something about your family. Yiyao, I'm going to go with you for the rest of my life. You don't have to hide everything from me. I like you and have nothing to do with your family, you know?" Looking at her indistinct speech, Xiao Yulin tightened her hand to comfort her.

But God knows how worried and angry he was when he learned from her parents that she had the idea of suicide. He almost didn't lift the table to show her father and mother on the spot.

Yi Yao purses lips, don't head to no longer look at him, again chose to escape.

"I'm in a hurry today, because I'm anxious to find you, and I haven't talked to your parents seriously. This Sunday..."

"No more." Yi Yao nibbled his lip: "Xiao Yulin, I don't think we are suitable, so..."

"No, so I disagree." On hearing this, Xiao Yulin's face suddenly darkened. He interrupted her again and put his hand around her jaw: "can't you try to believe yourself and me once? Everything wants to escape, can escape solve the problem? Can escape change your parents' attitude? Just like this evening, your mobile phone is turned off and disappeared. Have you ever thought that I would be very worried? I would be very afraid. If something happens to you, how can I face it? "

This is the first time that she has known Xiao Yulin that he is really angry. Yi Yao is a little confused by him, but his eyes are a little astringent. She tries to hold back her tears and chokes: "I'm sorry..."

"I don't want to be sorry, Yi Yao. You know, I always want to face all the difficulties with you. No matter what happens, I hope you can stand behind me and hold my hand tightly. In the same way, I have said many times in this year, really, my patience is almost polished by you. When can you really believe me? Believe I can protect you? " Xiao Yulin didn't know where she was suddenly so angry. She was only angry but powerless for her attitude.

"I don't believe you, but, my family... I'm afraid, I'm afraid that the damage it brings me will also hurt you. If I'm with you, I'd rather not be with you. Xiao Yulin, I really don't want to let go of your hand, but..." But the reality is so cruel that her parents will be unable to cross the gap between them in the future, which Yi Yao knows very well.

Looking at her suddenly raised her voice to refute, and finally slowly stopped, Xiao Yulin was also stunned, especially her last sentence made him feel that all the Qi seemed to be angry with himself, and he was willing to guard her regardless of the difficulties and dangers.

After embracing her in her arms again, Xiao Yulin said with a low smile: "fool, you just need to be responsible for holding my hand. That's good. You don't need anything else. I'll talk to your parents."

"If they ask you for money..."

"I'll have my betrothal gifts ready in a few days. I'll come to visit and propose marriage at some time." Looking at Yi Yao's worried look, Xiao Yulin gently picked up her cheek and kissed her tears from her eyes.

How about marriage promotion?

Yi Yao was stunned again, red lips moved again and again, looking at him incredulously: "you... What do you say?"

"Although I haven't had time to prepare the ring, I still want to say, Yi Yao, will you marry me?" Xiao Yu Lin smile gently, eyes burning at her, eyes full of affection and gentleness.

Yi Yao's whole life has become a little stiff. She always feels like she's listening in illusion. Although she and Xiao Yulin have known each other for more than three years, they've only been dating for a few days. Now they suddenly start talking about marriage. Isn't it... Too fast?

"Well?" Seeing that she didn't respond to half a sound, Xiao Yu Lin gently and slightly urged her.

Yi Yao slowly opens his lips and finds his own voice after a long time: "are you... Serious?"

"You think I'm joking now?"

"It's not..."

"Would you like to?"

Tears rolled down from both sides of the cheek again. Yi Yao held his hand back and nodded heavily: "yes... Yes."
