A few days after Ye Mengke left, Chi Rui also started school.
On the morning of the first day of school, Ye Minghan drove Chi Rui to the school gate.
"I'll pick you up after school." Ye Minghan said.
"Okay, see you this afternoon." Chi Rui waved at him, her rosy little face full of smiles.
She unbuckled her seat belt and prepared to get out of the car.
"Wait a moment." Ye Minghan frowned and pulled her.
"ah?"
Seeing the girl's puzzled look, Ye Minghan coughed lightly and whispered, "Did you forget something?"
Chi Rui looked at him, her beautiful little deer eyes revealing a bit of confusion. She brought all her things with her, so she didn't leave anything behind, right?
Seeing her so slow, Ye Minghan pursed his lips, and finally stretched out his index finger and gently tapped his cheek.
Chi Rui blinked, then realized what he meant.
Her bright eyes gradually curved into two crescents, and she grinned.
Ye Minghan felt a little uncomfortable with her smile, but he was reluctant to let her go.
You know, after she got off the car, he wouldn't be able to see her for the whole day, so he had to keep something to remember her, right?
Chi Rui quickly stopped smiling. She looked around shyly, then leaned towards him and pecked the man's cheek quickly with her pink lips.
Ye Minghan's eyes lit up and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.
"Goodbye, Brother Han."
Chi Rui stepped back, opened the door and ran out of the car with a red face, and her figure quickly disappeared in the crowd.
Ye Minghan kept looking at her back until she was completely out of sight, then he reluctantly withdrew his gaze.
He turned the car key, and the jade pendant on the key chain dangled in the air, just like its owner's thoughts at the moment.
I really hope time passes faster...
Ye Minghan took a deep breath, drove out of Dongxuan High School and headed towards the company.
Today is the first day of school for students, and also the day for working people to go back to work. Cen Shen, who returned to the company on the first day after the holiday, was obviously not in good shape.
But when he saw Young Master Ye's cold face, he still forced himself to be fully alert.
Who has offended the boss again? The air pressure is so low so early in the morning!
Although he was in a bad mood, it was his first day at work and there was a lot of business piled up. Ye Minghan still worked diligently all day and finally had some free time in the afternoon.
Just as I was about to have a cup of coffee, my cell phone rang again.
Seeing the caller ID, he frowned slightly, but still picked up the phone and pressed the answer button.
"Hello - Ahan, it's me. I'm at the door of your company."
A young man's excited voice came from the phone, "Hurry up and ask the security to let me in!"
"When did you return to China?" Ye Minghan leaned back in his chair and asked leisurely.
"I'll talk to you about the past after I get in. Please let me in first."
Ye Minghan hesitated for a moment, but still called Cen Shen in and asked him to pick someone up at the company gate.
After a while, the office door opened and a tall, stylish young man wearing sunglasses rushed in.
The young man took off his sunglasses as he walked away and said angrily, "Ah Han, your company's front desk is not good enough. You don't even recognize me, Master Duan!"
Ye Minghan raised his head and glanced at Duan Ke, his face expressionless.
"Back on vacation?"
Duan Ke was not scared off by his indifference. How could he not be thick-skinned to be friends with a tsundere like Ye Minghan?
He sat carelessly on the sofa, picked up the apple on the table and started eating it.
"Yeah, it's winter vacation." He said while chewing.
"I wanted to ask you out to play, but when I went to your house, your aunt said you weren't there, so I went out to play by myself. I came to see you right after I got back today. Isn't that very considerate of you?"
Duan Ke is the same age as Ye Minghan, and they knew each other even earlier than Chi Rui.
Because of Duan Ke's carefree personality, their friendship has lasted until now. He is one of Ye Minghan's few friends.
As for other friends, they are basically still studying. For example, Duan Ke is currently studying management abroad. Only Ye Minghan returned to Xuancheng early.
People who know Ye Minghan actually find it difficult to understand his choice.
They couldn't understand why, with Young Master Ye's intelligence and personality, he would come back so early to inherit the family business?
And Duan Ke is one of them.
"So why are you in such a hurry to come back?" He couldn't help but talk about it again.
"The company won't be leaving. Wouldn't it be nice to spend a few more years doing graduate school and getting a doctorate? It's not like I have to go to work every day now."
Ye Minghan was looking at the document carefully. When he heard his words, he paused and his eyes became distant.
He returned to Xuancheng only three months earlier than Chi Rui.
The reason he came back was because his mother accidentally mentioned on the phone that Chi Rui was going back to Xuancheng to take the college entrance examination...
He raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and his cold expression softened completely because of this smile.
No matter what others think, he knows that his original choice was right. But just when he was about to say something, he heard Duan Ke yelling.
"Oh my god, Akan, when did you become so girly?!"
Ye Minghan frowned and looked sideways, only to see Duan Ke had stood up from the sofa and was circling around Chi Rui's pink table.
In fact, everyone who entered his office for the first time would have some degree of surprise on their face, but no one was as exaggerated as Duan Ke.
"Ahan, you have really changed. You are no longer the big devil I knew!"
Duan Ke was heartbroken and covered his chest with his hands as if he was heartbroken.
Ye Minghan was speechless and lowered his head, not wanting to pay any attention to him, but Duan Ke came closer again.
"Hey, where did this bracelet come from?"
Duan Ke had sharp eyes and noticed the difference in him immediately.
Ye Minghan lowered his eyes to look at the chain on his wrist, gazing at the small ginkgo leaf with gentle eyes.
"Someone gave it to me." He said casually.
Duan Ke looked at him suspiciously, but felt that he must have guessed wrong.
Which girl is so unlucky to be liked by the great devil Ye?
He thought for a moment and said, "Let's go have a drink together tonight. I've also made an appointment with a few brothers. We haven't gotten together for a long time."
"No." Ye Minghan refused indifferently.
Duan Ke couldn't help but stare, "Why? I finally came back!"
"I'm going to pick someone up after get off work." Ye Minghan shrugged.
Duan Ke felt that Ye Minghan was probably really in love.
He felt a little unbelievable. He, Mr. Duan, was still single, but Ye Minghan, this big iceberg, had gotten out of singlehood earlier than him? !
He froze for a moment, then smiled and said, "Let's go after we pick them up. Oh, or should we take them to the bar so we can get to know each other?"
He wanted to see what kind of girl could conquer the great devil Ye!
"No." Ye Minghan shook his head and continued to refuse, "She can't go to the bar."
It’s such a strict rule!
Duan Ke became more and more certain that Ye Minghan was in love. Although this arrogant guy had a cold face all day long, he was actually very reserved.
"Okay then." He rolled his eyes, "I'll go with you to pick someone up later, and then we'll go to the bar together after sending my sister-in-law home. Is that okay?"
Ye Minghan did not correct him when he called Chi Rui "sister-in-law", but agreed happily. However, he still shook his head to indicate that he did not want to go.
"Why? Your sister-in-law doesn't let you go?" Duan Ke couldn't understand.
"No." Ye Minghan said calmly, "I want to help her with her homework."
He said it calmly, but Duan Ke was completely confused.
Ye Da Mo Wang, who is feared by everyone and never attended a normal class in high school, can actually help people with their homework?
Are you kidding me?!
Dongxuan High School, senior year classroom.
"Ah, school is finally over!"
As soon as the school bell rang, Sheng Qingle collapsed on the desk like a puddle of mud.
The first day of school is often the most painful.
At this time, both physically and mentally, we are still immersed in the joy of the holiday. The comparison between the two is simply worse than death.
Chi Rui smiled and was quite happy thinking that Ye Minghan would come to pick her up later.
As she packed her things, she said, "Le Le has worked very hard during this holiday and has finished all his homework."
"That's right!" Sheng Qingle was revived in an instant, smiling brightly, "Brother Shen will accompany me to do it."
Chi Rui was stunned. Brother Shen? Are you talking about Assistant Cen?
Realizing that he had let the cat out of the bag, Sheng Qingle quickly laughed and said, "Oh, let's go, let's go home."
"Yeah." Chi Rui nodded without asking any more questions.
Ying Chengxin, who was sitting behind them, curled his lips as he looked at their backs, but he did not say anything mean. Instead, he lowered his head and continued to work hard on his homework.
Alas, he didn't want to write either, but he didn't know what had gone wrong with Brother Yang. Now he didn't fight anymore and took the lead in studying every day. If he didn't finish his homework, he would be beaten.
Woohoo, when will this kind of day end?
Jiang Xingyang, who was sitting at the next table, twirled the pen in his hand, glanced in the direction where Chi Rui left, paused, and continued to concentrate on his homework.
His back was straight and his expression was serious. He no longer looked decadent as before, but instead exuded a bit of the purity of a young man.
After a while, a tall and slim girl appeared at the classroom door.
She leaned over and looked inside. Ying Chengxin saw her first and quickly poked Jiang Xingyang's arm.
When Jiang Xingyang raised his head, he smelled a fragrance and the girl had already walked in front of him.
"Xiaoyou." Jiang Xingyang looked at her.
Chen Yuyou smiled at him gently and took out a notebook from her bag. "Here, this is a notebook. You should be able to use it."
"Thank you." Jiang Xingyang reached out and took it.
Chen Yuyou was a little stunned, then smiled again.
Noticing her gaze, Jiang Xingyang raised his eyebrows, "What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"
"No, I'm just a little surprised that you never said thank you before."
Jiang Xingyang pursed his lips, his eyes flickered as he said, "People always change."
"Yeah, that's good."
Chen Yuyou nodded, "Then I'll go first, you guys continue writing."
Watching her leave, Jiang Xingyang endured it for a while, and finally asked: "Do you want to wait a moment? I'll take you back later."
Chen Yuyou paused, feeling his heart tremble slightly.
However, she still shook her head and said, "No need, you still have to walk the road yourself, just take your time to write."
She smiled slightly, with genuine relief, then turned and left.
After she left, Ying Chengxin hesitated and asked Jiang Xingyang in a low voice: "Brother Yang, aren't you going to chase her?"
"What are you chasing?"
The boy came back to his senses, reached out and slapped him hard on the head, "Do your homework, you are not allowed to leave today if you don't finish it!"
"oh……"
The afternoon sunshine was nice, and the sky was piled with clouds like snow-capped mountains. When the wind blew, the girl's skirt was gently lifted.
Chi Rui walked on the school road against the wind.
When she arrived at the school gate, she saw Ye Minghan standing by the car waiting for her from afar.
There was a young man standing next to him, talking to him in a chatterbox, completely ignoring Ye Minghan's indifferent expression.
Chi Rui was a little curious and walked over.
Duan Ke still followed him shamelessly.
He really wanted to know what the girl who could make the great devil Ye so devoted to her looked like.
He stood at the school gate waiting, but he had little patience and became anxious after just a few minutes.
"Why hasn't sister-in-law come out yet? Hasn't the class bell rung for a long time? Could she be in trouble?"
Ye Minghan glanced at him and said, "That's the bell for the end of get out of class."
"Oh, it was a slip of the tongue, but why hasn't she come out yet? How long has it been? Why don't we go in and find her!"
Just then, he caught a glimpse of a beautiful figure appearing at the school gate from afar.
Duan Ke looked over and subconsciously thought, Oh my god, this little beauty is so cute, I can do it!
As soon as this thought flashed through his mind, the little girl seemed to see him, smiled slightly, and then walked towards him.
Duan Ke stood up straight at once.
But he turned his head away again, only glancing over there out of the corner of his eye, ready to wait for the little beauty to come over and chat with her before talking to her.
After all, he is my senior, so I should be more reserved, right?
Ye Minghan, who was standing next to him, noticed something and looked in the direction he was looking. Then Duan Ke saw with his own eyes that the ice on his face just melted away.
It really is a ghost!
Duan Ke could swear that he had never seen Ye Minghan with such a gentle expression. While he was stunned, Ye Minghan had already raised his foot and walked towards the little girl.
"Brother Han." Chi Rui grinned.
Ye Minghan took her backpack and gently touched the top of her head, then asked, "Are you tired?"
Chi Rui nodded first, then shook his head.
Under Ye Minghan's inquiring eyes, she reached out and hugged his arm, saying sweetly: "I was very tired, but I forgot about it when I saw you."
Ye Minghan couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth.
He leaned over and kissed her forehead gently, then took her small hand.
"Let's go."
Duan Ke was shocked and heartbroken as he watched the two's sweet interaction.
So this little beauty is my sister-in-law?
Seeing them coming, he subconsciously asked, "Ahan, you are not being possessed by some strange thing, are you?"
"Get lost." Ye Minghan glared at him.
Chi Rui looked at him with a little curiosity and said with a smile: "Hello, I'm Chi Rui."
"Ah, hello sister-in-law, I'm Duan Ke!"
"Hello, Brother Duan, have we met before? I think you look familiar." Chi Rui looked at Duan Ke and said softly.
These were not just polite words. She looked at Duan Ke, and some vague images flashed through her mind, making her curious.
When I came to live with the Ye family as a child, did I have other playmates besides Brother Han?
When Duan Ke looked at the cute and soft little girl in front of him and heard her calling him Brother Duan, he suddenly understood why Ye Minghan had changed so much.
Who wouldn’t like such a beautiful, cute, gentle and well-behaved girl?
"Hahaha, really? Have we met before?" Duan Ke said with a smile.
After hearing their conversation, Ye Minghan remembered that Chi Rui and Duan Ke had indeed met each other when they were children.
He frowned deeply, as if he felt that it was not a pleasant memory.
"You remembered it wrong." He turned to Chi Rui and said, "He has a common face, so you think he looks familiar."
Chi Rui and Duan Ke were both stunned.
However, he did not give the two time to react. He directly took Chi Rui's hand and took her into the car, leaving Duan Ke standing there in a daze.
"Fuck, Ye Minghan, what do you mean? Explain it to me clearly!"
By the time he came to his senses and started cursing, Ye Minghan had already left with Chi Rui.
Chi Rui sat in the car, looked back, and said a little embarrassedly: "Is it really okay for us to leave like this?"
"He has his own car."
Ye Minghan shrugged, "Also, just call him Duan Ke."
Looking at his cold expression, Chi Rui pinched her fingers and nodded obediently.
Ye Minghan glanced at the rearview mirror and saw that the girl looked a little embarrassed. He frowned, with a hint of annoyance in his eyes.
"He is not a very reliable person. Don't pay attention to him."
He said in as soft a tone as possible.
Chi Rui curled her eyes and said softly, "But he is Brother Han's friend."
Ye Minghan did not deny this.
"I'm very happy to meet Brother Han's friends." Chi Rui said with a smile, "I feel like I'm closer to you."
Looking at her gentle smile, Ye Minghan's heart moved slightly.
He reached out and touched the top of her hair, whispering, "I've always been by your side."
Chi Rui smiled sweetly and nodded vigorously, "Then it's a deal, you will always be by my side."
"Yeah." Ye Minghan turned his head away, hiding the happy smile that he could no longer suppress.
"By the way, Brother Han, I seem to be slowly remembering the past recently."
Ye Minghan was stunned and quickly stopped the car on the side of the road.
"What do you mean?" He turned to look at her.
Chi Rui didn't expect him to have such a big reaction, and felt a sudden pain in her heart.
"It's about those things from my childhood. From time to time, some images will appear in my mind. Although they are still a little blurry, they feel clearer and clearer."
Ye Minghan stared at her deeply, and finally he opened his mouth and revealed a big smile.
He had never smiled like this before, his smile seemed brighter than the sun, and immediately captivated Chi Rui's eyes.
As she stared blankly, he reached out and touched her head, then leaned over and kissed her on the lips.
"It's okay, take your time."
After all, they still have a lifetime.
~
Half a year later
Time passed very slowly, and it felt like the blink of an eye, and it was over in an instant.
When I came to my senses, the college entrance examination was over, leaving only a faint emptiness after the joy.
Although it has been less than a year since Chi Rui came to Xuancheng, he feels that he has experienced a lot.
Not only did she make a lot of friends, she also met Ye Minghan and fell deeply in love with him.
She didn't know how long this love would last, but she hoped that they could always stay with each other.
I don’t ask for eternal life like ginkgo leaves, I just ask for us to be together until we grow old.
Chi Rui thought happily, feeling that there was no happier moment than now.
"Ah, Ruirui, when do you think the college entrance examination results will be released?" Sheng Qingle said on the phone.
Chi Rui was very open-minded about the college entrance examination results, but Sheng Qingle was a little worried, as if Assistant Cen had made three rules with her, that he would not be with her if she did not do well in the exam.
During the senior year of high school, Chi Rui felt very emotional watching Sheng Qingle go from sleeping in class to reading a book all day long.
"It's only been a few days since the exam, it won't be that fast." She comforted him softly, "Don't be nervous, Lele will definitely be fine."
"But Brother Shen..."
"Le Le is so cute, how could Assistant Cen not like you? He just wants you to work hard and make progress."
Hearing her gentle words of comfort, Sheng Qingle finally felt a little better.
"Yes, I'm so cute, how could he refuse me?" she said happily.
"Thank you, Ruirui. Are you leaving soon? I won't disturb you then~"
Sheng Qingle hung up the phone happily.
Chi Rui smiled and called Ye Minghan again, "Brother Han, I'm leaving now. See you at the entrance of your company later."
She was going to go to Ye Minghan's company to find him, and then the two of them would go to Europe together to watch Ye Mengke's performance and start her high school graduation trip.
This performance is very important to Ye Mengke. She will play the leading female role and step onto the stage she has always dreamed of.
She didn't know what went wrong between her and Wen Shaoge, but she heard Wen Shaoge say that he would go to Europe to find Sister Ye, and she just hoped that the two of them could reconcile as before.
"Miss Rui, please be careful on the road."
Butler Chen put away Chi Rui and Ye Minghan's luggage, then spoke to her with a smile.
"Okay, thank you Uncle Chen!"
Chi Rui waved to him, and as he looked on with satisfaction, she got into the car and left the Ye family's manor.
Just on the way, she accidentally caught sight of a roadside flower shop and quickly asked the driver to stop.
One of the succulent plants she had placed in Ye Minghan's office died, and she wanted to buy a new one.
"Boss, these succulents are so cute, which one is better?"
Chi Rui bent down and looked at the potted plants on the shelf, wrinkled her nose, and said in a troubled tone.
As she bent down, the necklace around her neck slipped out, and the nameplate spun in the air and then stopped.
The owner of the flower shop was a woman with a gentle temperament. She squatted beside Chi Rui and helped her pick a pot.
"I think this basin suits you very well, what do you think?"
Chi Rui tilted his head to look at the potted plant in her hand, nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "Then let's take this one."
When checking out, the florist looked at the nameplate on her necklace and said, "jas.mine... this necklace is very unique."
Chi Rui was startled, looked down and saw the necklace, and smiled shyly.
At this time, the flower shop owner winked at her and asked, "Do you know what jas.mine means?"
"Isn't it Jasmine?"
"Yes." The flower shop owner smiled gently, "Then do you know what the language of jasmine is?"
When Chi Rui came out of the flower shop, her whole face was red and she had an uncontrollable silly smile on her face.
She got in the car and asked the driver to leave quickly.
When we arrived at the company entrance, Ye Minghan was already waiting at the top of the stairs.
"Brother Han~"
Chi Rui hurriedly trotted towards him and almost tripped when going up the stairs, and was grabbed into the man's arms.
"Why are you always so reckless?" Ye Minghan frowned.
His expression was a little stern, but Chi Rui leaned in his arms and kept smiling at him foolishly.
Ye Minghan frowned and looked at her strangely.
"This!" Chi Rui held the nameplate and shook it in front of him.
The silver nameplate inlaid with pink diamonds gleamed in the sun. One side was engraved with Chi Rui's name, and the other side was engraved with the words "jas.mine".
Ye Minghan's expression showed a little strangeness, "What's wrong with this?"
"Hey, I just found out what the language of jasmine is."
Chi Rui smiled sweetly at him, revealing two cute dimples.
“Oh…” Ye Minghan’s eyes flickered slightly, and he turned his head away uncomfortably, “And then?”
"Brother Han, do you know?"
Chi Rui looked at him with a smile and said in a coquettish voice.
Ye Minghan felt a little embarrassed by her gaze, so he bent down and took her hand, "Stop it, if you don't leave now you will miss the plane."
"Wait a minute." Chi Rui pulled him and didn't want to leave.
Ye Minghan was helpless, "What?"
"Brother Han, do you know what the language of jasmine is?" the little girl pulled his sleeve and asked with a smile.
Ye Minghan opened his mouth but couldn't say anything in the end. He simply bent down and picked her up.
Chi Rui couldn't help but exclaimed, then quickly closed his mouth.
Everyone around is watching!
And there are many people from Ye Minghan’s company, and they all recognize her!
Her face turned red with shame, but she couldn't struggle anymore, so she clenched her fists and gently punched his chest.
"Put me down now."
"No." I will never let go in this life.
Because you are my life.
This is the meaning represented by jasmine.
Ye Minghan chuckled, kissed the top of the girl's head, and then walked down the stairs holding his princess.
Their driver has been waiting there for a long time...
over.
