The world is a bitter sea, and people struggle within it.
Is genuine sincerity always belittled? Are kindness and gentleness always bullied? Are ugly commoners always mocked? Is unparalleled ...
Chapter 255: The CEO’s White Moonlight (9)
Shi Yi slept very restlessly, as if a pair of eyes were staring at her from a place she didn’t know about. She bit her tongue and forced herself to wake up.
In the darkness, she smelled a smell in the room that didn’t belong to her. It seemed that an unwelcome guest had come to the house. The atmosphere remained silent for a long time.
The night rain came very quickly, and only the sound of dense raindrops hitting the French window glass could be heard.
With a click, the lock rang, the door of the room opened, someone walked in and turned on the light.
"Shi Yi, I have nowhere to go." It was Qu Xiangran's voice. He always had a spare key to the house.
With the light coming in from the living room outside, Shi Yi turned on the bedside lamp at once, and the shadows in the room suddenly disappeared. The furnishings were still the same as before, and the experience just now seemed like an illusion to her. But the tip of her nose was still lingering with the faint fragrance of lotus.
"Shi Yi, I am homeless." Qu Xiangran walked into her room and hugged her.
In order to comfort him, Shi Yi loosened her clenched fists and suddenly found that her palms were full of cold sweat.
"Did you get caught in the rain?" Her hand touched his soft hair, which was a little wet but not very obvious. She thought it was just a little bit of rain.
"I'm so sleepy." Qu Xiangran hugged her like a giant dog and acted coquettishly. Seeing her mobile phone on the table, he pressed the power button and put it back without any response.
"Go wash up first, I'll make the bed for you." Shi Yi gently pushed his shoulder, and the suspender pajamas slipped off her right shoulder inadvertently. Qu Xiangran glanced at him a little unnaturally, and immediately got up and went to the bathroom.
He closed the bathroom door and slowly looked at everything inside.
There were used bathrobes and towels hanging on the wall, and girls' bottles and jars were placed under the mirror, and a shower bucket...
"Da Da Da" was the sound of Shi Yi knocking on the door, "There are clean bathrobes in the cabinet, find one to change into."
"Okay." He looked back at the bathroom door, feeling that he could see Shi Yi standing in front of it through this door. He was startled by his sudden thought and couldn't help laughing, sweeping away the gloom brought by his parents' troubles at home.
Shi Yi found the key and opened the door of the small room. The first thing he did was to turn on the air conditioner. In the past, this small room was locked by the original owner because she didn't need it at all.
Shi Yi looked around the small room. The layout was very simple, with a single bed, a table and chair, and a wardrobe. However, now all the furnishings are empty, and there is a layer of dust on the table.
If you clean it now, it will take some effort. In order to save trouble, she found wet wipes to wipe the bed clean, put on new sheets and quilts. As for cleaning, let's wait until tomorrow when we are free.
Qu Xiangran finished washing up early, but he sat on the toilet and didn't want to go out. He was afraid that as soon as he went out, Shi Yi would push him into the small room to sleep. He couldn't say anything.
"Da Da Da." Shi Yi knocked on the bathroom door with his knuckles, "You can come out now. I cooked a bowl of noodles for you. If you don't eat it now, it will become soft."
Qu Xiangran's eyes lit up when he heard that there was food to eat, and he stood up immediately. When he twisted his hand on the door handle, he hesitated again. He asked carefully, "Will you force me to go to bed after eating the noodles?"
When she was standing at the door, she was amused by his words, but she still answered seriously, "It's your freedom to go to bed whenever you want."
Qu Xiangran hesitated for a moment, and finally turned the door handle to come out.
Shi Yi glanced at him and pointed to the big bowl on the dining table behind him, "Eat quickly, you can go to bed after you finish eating."
Of course, she knew that Qu Xiangran must have something to do when he came to her late at night, but some things can only be confided by the person involved. Qu
Xiangran, wearing a bathrobe, sat down at the dining table honestly, holding the bowl of noodles, and picked up one by one.
At first, he called Shi Yi just to talk about his family, but he didn't expect that no one would answer his phone calls. He had to drive to Shi's house. But when he really sat on the bench in Shi's house, holding the hot noodles, he didn't know how to talk about the things at home.
"You sit down first, I'll go in and get my phone." When Shi Yi arrived in the room, he found that his phone was out of battery and turned off, so he had to charge it.
"Where's your phone?" Qu Xiangran asked when he saw her coming out empty-handed.
"It's out of battery." Shi Yi's tone was a little helpless. Thinking of the oppressive pair of eyes staring at her in her sleep before, there was a deep coldness in the depths of her dark eyes.
"Chat with me." Qu Xiangran patted the seat next to him and asked her to sit over. Shi Yi did not refuse.
"When did your mother meet you?" Qu Xiangran paid attention to her eyes. He didn't want her to lie to him at this time and let himself be kept in the dark like a fool.
"Not long ago." Hearing him say this, Shi Yi knew that he should know the inside story. There was no need to hide such things, so he told the truth.
"Why didn't you tell me?" Qu Xiangran looked serious. People who didn't know him would think he was angry, but Shi Yi could clearly see the worry in his eyes.
"Your mother won't eat people." Shi Yi patted his shoulder and told him to relax.
The light in Qu Xiangran's eyes dimmed. Indeed, his mother really won't eat people, but getting along with her is sometimes more terrifying than being with a man-eating beast.
Generally, in order to maintain their reputation, families with good reputations would rather fight each other behind the scenes than tear each other apart and make it known to everyone. But his mother, who is also very proud and afraid that others don't know about the family's affairs, must make a big fuss about it. Afterwards, she cried to him about how excessive his father was and how his father's woman outside forced him.
But what his mother didn't know was that she had seen his father's woman outside from a distance. She was carrying a home shopping store, wearing a cotton and linen dress, and she looked simple and plain, but she made people feel the warmth of home. He couldn't imagine that such a simple woman would call and scold her as his mother said, forcing her to divorce and give up her position.
"Have you seen the mistress?" He suddenly asked Shi Yi this question.
Shi Yi supported himself with his hands and thought for a moment, then said, "Yes, I have. I know a sister whose boyfriend is 20 years older than her. He has a family and his child is eight years younger than her. They live together now. Her boyfriend is still negotiating a divorce with his original wife, and he said he would marry her after the divorce."
Qu Xiangran's eyes lit up for a moment, "Anything else?"
The world is so big, is there such a coincidence?
