The setting sun gradually descended into the sky, and orange light poured down onto the earth, casting layers of golden light on the yellow ginkgo leaves on both sides of the road.
On the road, the wheels were spinning at high speed, speeding past, causing fallen leaves to fly all over the ground.
Chi Rui tilted her head and looked at the scenery outside the car through the glass window, curiosity flowing in her beautiful and clear eyes.
The sky in Xuancheng is much cleaner than that in the south city. The fiery red clouds are floating in the distance, looking quite lovely.
She couldn't help but take out her cell phone and take a few pictures of the sunset.
"Ding Dong——" At this time, the WeChat notification sound rang.
Chi Rui paused, took out his phone and looked at it.
Luo Yiyi: [Cute little Ruirui, have you arrived in Xuancheng? ] Chi Rui smiled and sent the photo she just took.
Chi Rui: [Picture]
Chi Rui: [I’m here, I’m in the car.]
Luo Yiyi: [Oh, the weather in Xuancheng is great. It's been raining all day here. How annoying!] Chi Rui: [Hug me] Luo Yiyi: [Wow, hug me! Ruirui, I'm already missing you. Will you come back during the Spring Festival?] Chi Rui was helpless. She had just arrived in Xuancheng and hadn't even moved to her place yet.
But after hearing what she said, she also felt a little melancholy about leaving her hometown...
Chi Rui: [I miss you too. I will definitely go back during the winter vacation.] Luo Yiyi: [It’s a deal then!] Ye Minghan stared at the road ahead, but his eyes unconsciously fell on the girl next to him.
She was playing with her mobile phone with her head down, her white fingertips bouncing quickly on the screen. Looking at the green dialog box on the interface, it was obvious that she was chatting with someone on WeChat.
Ye Minghan withdrew his gaze and continued to concentrate on driving.
However, after a while, his attention was distracted again.
He raised his eyes slightly and glanced at the rearview mirror.
In the mirror, the girl still lowered her head to the phone screen, and there was even a faint smile on her lips.
Those curved eyes revealed a hint of tenderness.
Ye Minghan couldn't help but purse his lips. After a slight pause, he suddenly stepped on the accelerator and increased the speed of the car.
Chi Rui, who was concentrating on the conversation, was naturally caught off guard. His body swayed uncontrollably, and he lost hold of the phone and almost dropped it to the ground.
She was startled and quickly tightened her seat belt.
Only when the car slowed down did she breathe a sigh of relief and look sideways at Ye Minghan with some confusion.
But Ye Minghan didn't look at her and just concentrated on driving.
Seeing his calm expression, Chi Rui became hesitant again.
It should be... just an accident, right?
She frowned and didn't dare to play with her phone anymore. After saying something to Roy Yi on WeChat, she put the phone back into her bag.
The car was driving steadily and Chi Rui felt a little bored, so he leaned back, leaned on the car mat and closed his eyes to rest.
She closed her eyes, so she didn't see the man sitting next to her, and she curled the corners of her lips slightly.
When the girl turned her head towards him because of the bump, the slight curve in her head immediately flattened out...
Chi Rui's eyelashes trembled slightly and he opened his eyes blankly.
Their car was passing through a tunnel, and in the flickering light and shadow, the man's cold and indifferent profile was visible.
She rubbed her eyes with the back of her hand, then moved her head to the other side, facing the window.
She didn't know if it was her illusion, but the car seemed to be moving much slower. As it swayed slightly, she gradually felt a little sleepy.
My eyes closed unconsciously again, and my consciousness became a little fuzzy.
By the time we arrived at Ye's house, it was already half past six, almost seven o'clock.
Chi Rui was not sleeping soundly. She woke up when Ye Minghan's car drove into the yard. A faint floral scent lingered at her nose. It was the scent of her favorite jasmine.
The dim lights in the Ye family's villa have been turned on. Being in it is like entering an ancient European castle.
Although he was mentally prepared, Chi Rui was still a little shocked by the Ye family's mansion when he actually saw it.
As soon as the car stopped, a middle-aged man dressed as a butler came to greet us.
"Master, you are back."
"Uncle Chen." Ye Minghan got out of the car, "Where are my parents?"
"The master and his wife won't be back until later." Butler Chen said, "Are you hungry? How about I prepare dinner for you and Miss Chi first?"
"Yeah." Ye Minghan nodded and glanced at Chi Rui again, "I..."
The words suddenly stopped when they came to his lips, and then turned into: "Take her to the room."
After saying that, he put his hands in his trouser pockets and left indifferently.
Chi Rui looked at his gradually receding back and felt a little confused.
"Miss Chi."
At this time, Butler Chen stood in front of her, blocking her view.
"I'm the housekeeper here, my last name is Chen." He said with a smile, "I will be responsible for your food and daily life. Please give me your guidance in the future."
"Hello, Uncle Chen."
Chi Rui quickly stood up straight and said politely, "You can just call me Chi Rui or Rui Rui."
The little girl was pretty and spoke softly and sweetly, which made housekeeper Chen feel a little soft-hearted.
"Okay, Miss Rui." He said kindly, "Your room is ready. Shall I take you there first?"
Chi Rui opened his mouth, but in the end did not correct his address.
The servant took her luggage from the trunk and followed them into the house.
The decoration inside the house is much more luxurious than it looks from the outside, but just walking inside, Chi Rui always gives him a familiar feeling.
Maybe it’s because she lived here when she was a child?
Thinking this, she followed Butler Chen into the elevator and went up to the third floor.
"Miss Rui, this is your room."
Butler Chen opened the door at the end of the corridor and welcomed her in.
The room was much bigger than her home, and it was obvious that the owner had decorated it carefully. Not only was it cleaned tidy, but even the pink, girly interior design was her favorite.
However, what caught Chi Rui's eyes the most was the bookshelf in the corner.
It is already neatly filled with high school textbooks, with some new and some old covers. The new ones are for the third year of high school, and the old ones are for the first and second year of high school.
There is also a cardboard box next to the bookshelf, which contains some notes and test papers.
This was sent by her mother in advance. They are the textbooks she used in her first and second year of high school. She will need them for review in the future.
"How does it feel? Does Miss Rui still like it?" asked Butler Chen.
Chi Rui quickly turned around and said with a smile: "Yes, I like it very much! Thank you, Uncle Chen."
"Haha, you should thank the Madam and Young Master..."
At this point, he suddenly paused, "Um, the lady should be back soon, you can thank her in person."
His smile didn't change and Chi Rui didn't notice.
She smiled and nodded: "Okay, but thank you anyway."
She took out the prepared gift from the suitcase and handed it to him, "This is a little cookie I made, I hope you like it."
Butler Chen was somewhat flattered and quickly took it with both hands.
"Haha, thank you Miss Rui, you are still as cute as when you were a child."
Hearing his praise, Chi Rui couldn't help but blush.
The main thing is that she doesn't remember anything from her childhood...
Butler Chen left Chi Rui's room, closed the door, and looked at the biscuit box in his hand.
He was a bit greedy and had no resistance to this kind of snacks, not to mention that this was made by Miss Rui herself...
"Uncle Chen?" A cold voice sounded.
Butler Chen looked up and saw that the door of the room opposite had opened at some point and their young master was walking out.
"Master." Butler Chen put on a gracious smile, "Miss Rui has been settled in."
Ye Minghan looked at the room behind him.
The originally snow-white door panel was painted a light girlish pink, and a cute little ornament was hung in the middle of the door, which An Xin bought when she was traveling.
Inexplicably, I remembered the girl's strange eyes and the words "Mr. Ye"...
Ye Minghan frowned slightly, and the tenderness in his eyes disappeared.
"Are there other rooms in the house?" he asked in a deep voice.
Seeing him staring at Chi Rui's room and suddenly asking this question, Butler Chen hurriedly said, "Master, Miss Rui's room was arranged by Madam, and this room used to be..."
"Okay, I got it."
Ye Minghan waved his hand and interrupted him impatiently.
In the room separated by a door, Chi Rui, who was just about to go out, gently opened the doorknob.
She walked back to the room clutching her phone and sat on the edge of the bed. Her eyes were a little dim and revealed a bit of distress.
It seems that Aunt An's son really doesn't like her.
She fell back and lay on the soft mattress. The gauze curtain above her head fluttered gently, stirring her somewhat uneasy heart.
Because of household registration issues during the college entrance examination, she had to transfer to Xuancheng.
Originally, her mother wanted to send her back, but something happened to the artist she was with and she couldn't leave, so she let her take the plane alone.
Although she was used to this kind of thing, she was still sad and aggrieved for a 17-year-old girl as she was in an unfamiliar place and suddenly had to live under someone else's roof.
Ye Minghan's cold eyes appeared in front of her. She lowered her eyelashes and pressed the back of her hand against her forehead.
We will be together for another year in the future...
The girl's feet dangled over the edge of the bed and she sighed softly, feeling somewhat melancholy.
After a while, she turned over and sat up.
Chi Rui casually smoothed her slightly messy hair, put on her indoor slippers, opened the door and walked out of the room.
I thought the person outside had already left, but when I looked up, I saw a tall figure standing at the door of the opposite room.
Ye Minghan had changed into casual clothes. The loose and soft material made him look a little gentler than he did during the day.
He was leaning sideways, holding something in his hand and looking down at it.
Hearing the noise, he moved slightly, hid his hand holding the thing behind his back, and looked a little panicked.
The author has something to say: Chi Rui: What did you hide?
Master Ye: No...no hiding...
