Chapter 22

In the middle of the night, it started to rain outside, and the autumn rain never stopped.

Ye Tianhui listened to the sound of rain outside, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

She couldn't help but think over and over again about every word Gu Shizhang said, his breath, his tone, and the way he called her name.

A thousand years have passed, and there is no Da Zhao Kingdom in this world, but she heard a voice calling her name.

Her name was once a legend in the land of Da Zhao Kingdom, but she didn't expect that it would ring again in his mouth today.

She understood that her emotions had been seriously affected by Gu Shizhang.

There was no hope.

She covered her head with the quilt in annoyance, not allowing herself to listen to the sound of rain outside, and not allowing herself to think about Gu Shizhang.

She told herself that it was all fake.

The reason why she always felt anxious because of him was because he was too much like a saint.

But he couldn't be.

Maybe he was the reincarnation of a saint, but he probably wouldn't remember some things from his past life. If he didn't remember, then he wasn't a saint.

I don't know if it was because I didn't sleep well that night, but it was already late when I woke up the next day. It happened to rain all night outside, the roads were wet, and there was a serious traffic jam during the morning rush hour.

There was no direct tram line to the Benteng Racecourse in the past, so I could only take the bus. But the bus was different from the tram, and it would get stuck in traffic.

She watched the time pass by, and it was really like a year.

I couldn't be late on the first day of work, it was really not decent. If I continued to suffer like this, when would I arrive?

At this time, other office workers on the bus also complained, and some said that their boss would deduct their wages, and they looked helpless.

When Ye Tianhui heard the word "wages", she immediately felt that she must not be careless about this matter.

How could she let the late bus cause her to be deducted from her wages?

She decided to go all out and simply asked the bus driver to open the door. Then she took her bag and got out, passed the buses and cars that were stuck in traffic, and ran all the way forward

. So after a night of autumn rain, on this fresh and humid morning, beside the noisy road, everyone saw a girl in a shirt and jeans, with a ponytail, running carefree on the shiny asphalt road.

She is young and thin, but has a straight and thin back with smooth and strong back lines. When she runs, her body is full of youth and suppleness.

Some people couldn't help but look at her a few more times, and some took out their cameras to take pictures of this scene.

Ye Tianhui didn't care about this at all. She only thought about the wages that might be deducted. She

must not be deducted!

After running for a long time, she finally ran out of the traffic jam, but unfortunately, there were no buses or taxis here.

Ye Tianhui had no choice but to lift up her sleeves to wipe the sweat and continue running forward.

She must be thankful. If she didn't jump off the bus, she would still be stuck on the bus. The fact that there are no cars on this road is proof of this.

So running is the right thing to do. Not only should she run, but she should run faster!

She clutched the bag in her hand tightly and ran forward faster.

************

When Ye Lixuan first saw the running figure in front of him, he didn't care. He just thought it was a morning jogging enthusiast.

Today his physics class was scheduled for the second period, but during the morning meal, his daughter Wen Yin said she wanted to go to the racecourse. Unfortunately, her car broke down, so she called to arrange for the family driver to take her there.

Seeing this, he offered to give her a ride.

After all, his class was not urgent, and even if he took a detour, it would not delay anything.

Who knew that his daughter was a little surprised, as if she was a little repulsive.

He didn't say anything, but still took his daughter to the racecourse.

Because of all the things that happened back then, when his daughter was brought over from the mainland, she was almost a year old, and he had just passed the age of twenty. After all, he was young and had not learned how to be a father.

At that time, there were servants and nannies to help the family, and he himself was grieving for the loss of his wife, and also wanted to study abroad, so he had very little involvement in his daughter's growth.

A few years after he returned to China after completing his studies, Ye Wenyin was seven or eight years old. She was a little girl, very sensible, considerate, and well-behaved. However, the relationship between father and daughter had lost touch.

He had also tried to make up for it, but those days were when he was doing professional research and overcoming difficulties. He was really busy with work, and the little girl's family naturally had her own temperament, and he himself didn't know how to get along with the little daughter, so he couldn't do anything.

Now Ye Wenyin has grown up, and is sensible and considerate. Although they are not very familiar with each other, the two of them can still be a loving father and a filial daughter.

As for Ye Lixuan's plan, he also wanted to make up for it as much as possible. For example, today, even though he could see that his daughter didn't really want to go, he still sent her off.

He drove away with this vague worry in his mind, but happened to see the girl running towards him.

He recognized at a glance that this was the girl he had been watching for a long time through the curtain wall.

She was running towards him with all her heart, the warm red morning sun shining on her, she was running vigorously but wildly, like a pony that had just emerged from the mountains, wild and unruly, but unbridled.

He was slightly stunned, and after a moment's hesitation, he slowed down, drove the car to the girl's side, then lowered the car window and asked, "Do you need a ride?"

When he asked this, he didn't understand what was wrong with him.

He was a clean freak and would not let anyone get on his car.

Because of all the things that happened in the past, he was very defensive. After

just a one-time meeting, he seemed to have some special affection for this girl, or even a preference for her.

Ye Tianhui was actually a little tired. When she heard this, she was stunned for a moment, and then she was overjoyed. She

met a kind person!

She smiled and said, "Is it really okay? Is it on your way?"

Ye Lixuan nodded, "Get in the car."

Ye Tianhui was very grateful and hurriedly opened the door.

She had taken the bus in the mainland, and she had only taken the bus when she came to Hong Kong. She had never taken this kind of car, so she didn't understand the ins and outs here. She opened the door and got on the bus.

Ye Lixuan was actually a little surprised. She sat in the passenger seat without any scruples.

But he didn't say anything, just reminded: "Fasten your seat belt."

Seat belt?

Ye Tianhui looked at him blankly.

Ye Lixuan was silent for a while, but finally leaned over and took the seat belt buckle.

This action was a bit too intimate, and his face was shy.

He handed her the buckle and reminded: "Buckle it there."

Ye Tianhui suddenly realized: "Thank you, I know."

After saying that, she quickly buckled it.

When she was fastening her seat belt, Ye Lixuan held the steering wheel and started the car.

This little girl is still very young, and looks like a budding, and should be about the same age as his daughter.

Because she had just run, her pretty face was flushed. The back of her loose shirt was partially wet and stuck to her skin.

Hong Kong is an open city. She was still dressed conservatively, which was not inappropriate. She would not attract any attention when walking on the street. However, because they were in the same small space as the carriage and were strangers to each other, it was a little inappropriate.

It was hard to say what it was, maybe because she was the same age as his daughter, Ye Lixuan actually had a rare care for her.

He said calmly: "Are you cold?"

Ye Tianhui: "I don't feel cold, I just feel hot... I just ran a long distance."

Ye Lixuan picked up a suit jacket next to him with one hand and handed it to her directly: "Put it on."

Ye Tianhui: "Ah?"

She raised her eyebrows in surprise, not understanding what was wrong with this man.

Ye Lixuan: "Put it on."

Ye Tianhui didn't want to put on a stranger's coat: "I'm really not cold, thank you."

Ye Lixuan frowned: "Are you going to the racecourse?"

Ye Tianhui: "Yes, yes, I'm going to the racecourse. It's my first day at work. There was a traffic jam there. I thought I would be late, so I had to run over. Fortunately, I met you."

She smiled at him gratefully.

When she looked at him like this, she was also a little surprised. She

didn't have time to take a closer look in the rush just now. Now, this person actually looks familiar.

She remembered that she had seen a photo in "Mom's" photo album.

The photo showed a young man in his prime, standing in front of a small red-walled building, wearing a top hat and a white suit. He was elegant and beautiful, and it was difficult to tell whether he was androgynous

, and he was particularly eye-catching. However, because the photo was so old and not properly preserved, it had become faded and blurred.

Now she looked at the man in front of her and felt vaguely familiar.

The man in front of her had a handsome and elegant temperament. He wore a cashmere suit with exquisite fabrics, and looked noble and gentle. However, upon closer inspection, his facial features were actually too outstanding, but they were covered up by his gentle temperament.

She recalled the boy in the photo. If the boy had been polished by many years, would he look exactly like he does now?

Ye Lixuan naturally noticed her probing gaze, which was unbridled and unrestrained.

He had never seen such a presumptuous girl.

He felt offended. He

frowned even more at the moment. Normally, he was not a warm-hearted person, and he would never let a strange girl get into his car casually, let alone take his coat to put on the girl.

He felt that everything he did today had deviated from his normal track.

Moreover, his judgment of this little girl was obviously wrong.

He was a little annoyed, but it was very mild. Anyway, the racecourse would be there soon.

Next, the car drove quietly, and neither of them spoke.

When they were about to arrive at the racecourse, there was a traffic light. When Ye Lixuan stopped the car and waited, he looked at the girl beside him.

She was curiously looking at a hair accessory in front of the car, which was inlaid with diamonds and sparkled.

Ye Lixuan remembered that his daughter seemed to have worn it in the morning, and she might have accidentally dropped it on the car when she was fixing her hair.

At this time, the girl seemed to notice his gaze and looked towards him.

She looked at him with an inquiring and scrutinizing look, and a subtle sense of strangeness.

Ye Lixuan met her gaze, raised his eyebrows slightly, and there was a distant rejection in his brown eyes.

Ye Tianhui looked at him and suddenly smiled: "What is your name, sir?"

Ye Lixuan pursed his lips and looked at her silently with an indifferent look.

Of course, he would not answer this question.

Ye Tianhui looked at him with interest: "Thank you for giving me a ride. I think maybe we can be friends. My last name is Ye and I'm 18 years old. What about you?"

She revealed her most crucial information to him, hoping to arouse his interest.

Ye Lixuan frowned and looked at him with contempt.

Ye Tianhui was surprised: "Don't misunderstand me or get angry. I just thought we could chat. Your last name is Ye, right? We both have the same last name, which is really a coincidence."

The green light came on, and Ye Lixuan stepped on the accelerator and drove over, and the racecourse was in front of him.

He stopped the car and said coldly, "Get out."

Ye Tianhui: "Don't you want to know why I guessed your last name is Ye, and why my last name also happens to be Ye?"

Ye Lixuan had a blank expression: "Sorry, I don't want to, please get out."

Ye Tianhui had already guessed it when she saw the diamond hairpin.

Such a good opportunity was right in front of her, how could she let it go? She immediately said, "I guess you are Professor Ye Lixuan, right? Actually, Mr. Ye, I have looked for you before, I--"

Ye Lixuan's eyes were as cold as ice, he flatly refused, "You are mistaken, I am not."

Ye Tianhui was suspicious, "You are not? Is your last name Ye?"

She stared at him, "Your daughter is eighteen years old, right? You see, I am eighteen years old too, I came to Hong Kong to find my biological--"

Ye Lixuan interrupted her impatiently, and said coldly, "Miss, please get out of the car."

Ye Tianhui looked at Ye Lixuan. His handsome face was full of cold rejection and disdain, as if she coveted something from him.

He said he was not Ye Lixuan.

Perhaps she was wrong.

Ye Tianhui had no choice but to push the door and get out of the car. After getting out of the car, she looked at Ye Lixuan and said, "Sir, I was presumptuous to mistake you just now. I'm sorry. Also, thank you for giving me a ride."

He was in the car and she was under the car. He looked at her quietly through the passenger seat and a door.

She had restrained her previous recklessness, her eyebrows were cold, and she became polite and considerate.

It seemed like a different person.

Ye Lixuan nodded almost imperceptibly: "No need, just on the way."

After that, he closed the automatic door in front of her, blocking her line of sight.

Ye Tianhui saw that it was getting late, so she grabbed her bag and hurried to the racecourse.

Ye Lixuan drove away from the racecourse.

He looked over in the rearview mirror.

The racecourse was located in a remote area, and everything was quiet after the rain. She was wearing a loose and casual white shirt and very simple jeans. Compared with most young people in Hong Kong, she was too conservative and simple, but she wore it in a clear and refreshing way.

He frowned, thinking about what she had just done.

At first glance, she was beautiful as the moon and the sky were shining.
