Creation’s Grace

After Zhou Yu left, the north wind suddenly picked up, blowing the bare branches like wild beasts' claws. The notice board in front of the green belt swayed and seemed to be shaking.

Ran Jin was originally wearing less clothes, so he couldn't help trembling slightly.

Chi Yu glanced at the thin windbreaker on her body and her empty neck without a scarf, pulled her into the car, and the two sat in the back seat.

"How did you make Zhou Yu be so committed to you?" Chi Yu asked her straight as soon as she closed the car door.

The warmth in the car made Ran Jin's skin, which was so cold to feel nothing, gradually regain consciousness.

Ran Jin buttoned the cufflinks of the windbreaker: "I can't tell you now, otherwise you will definitely make trouble."

Remembering that Chu Wei said that Zhou Yu might have someone outside, Chi Yu also thought about Ran Jin's chasing things and her fake frivolity, and said unhappily:

"I really want to take revenge on you and ask you to quit the Chi Group. But I know what I know. But as I said, you can beg me for mercy on the moon orbit, and you don't have to go outside to ask others. Isn't it enough?"

If Ran Ban is willing to reconcile with her at this time, tell the truth, and withdraw from the Chi Group, Chi Yu will keep the promise he made before and keep the influence of this matter to a minimum.

Ran Jin understood the meaning of Chi Yu's words, smiled and said: "Don't worry about it, the relationship between me and Zhou Yu is not what you think. Although I want to enjoy life, I don't like men very much. interested."

"How worried am I?" Chi Yuping opened Ran Jin deliberately frivolous, his voice became low, and returned to the final goal, "From the beginning to the end, I just want to know how my sister died, and I have nothing to do with you outside. Interested to know."

Ran Jin's face gradually turned cold, and he had no intention of opening his mouth.

Chi Yu knew that no matter what he asked or how he used it, Ran Ban would never say it.

Crazy questioning will only make you look like an incompetent fool.

"If you still don't want to speak, let's keep fighting like this." Chi Yu's eyes turned red, "As long as the truth of my sister's death is not revealed one day, I will not let you go for a day. Pry it open. I'll spend the rest of my life with you."

Ran Jin knew that her and Chi Yu's hearts were entangled with a dead knot, and they would both hurt each other as long as they were tied together.

In the short silence, Chi Yu saw that the place on Ran Jin's lips where she bitten was scabbed.

A small patch of dark red stood out on her delicate lips.

"It's best if you and that Zhou Yu don't have anything." Chi Yu got the answer she wanted and was about to get out of the car. She was afraid that Qi Tong wouldn't be able to control Chu Wei and would come to cause trouble, "Tell you, Aunt and uncle will come over tomorrow night and let you go home for dinner. Go home late."

The aunt and uncle are the best relatives of the Chi family to the Chi Yu sisters. When the sisters just lost their parents, the aunt and uncle, who were in poor health and had no money, were always helping them.

Ran Jin knew that the Chi sisters always remembered each other's kindness, and life got better and better after that.

It is impossible not to listen to the words of aunt and uncle.

They should have also seen the news and were terrified. They planned to do ideological work for the younger generation, and asked Chi Yu to ask Ran Ban to go home to gather and talk.

Chi Yu didn't want them to worry, so he could only agree.

"Yeah." Ran ban responded.

"What time do you come?"

"What time do you want me to come?"

"Six o'clock tomorrow night."

"Okay."

Chi Yu got out of the car and was wrapped in the cold again.

Recalling the last conversation, Ran Jin's tone was very familiar, as if he had returned to the past when he was obedient to her, as if nothing had happened between them.

Chi Yu walked into the car with a sullen head, and when he returned to the car, Chu Wei had already fallen asleep under the dual effects of alcohol and Qi Tong.

Chi Yu: "...Are you carrying her upstairs?"

Qi Tong: "? Sister Yu, can you bear it? I'll do things for you!"

There was no way to do it late, so Qi Tong had to hold Chu Wei on her back. After finding the property and asking for the address of Chu Wei's house, with the assistance of the property, she was exhausted and finally transported her to the door.

The doorbell rang for a long time before Zhou Yu slowly opened the door.

Seeing the person at the door, Zhou Yu vigilantly took Chu Wei over.

Chu Wei already had some consciousness at this time, lying in his arms crying and beating, saying that you are shameless, you have no conscience...

"Thank you." He said thanks, but Zhou Yu's face didn't mean any thanks, instead he was a little vigilant and impatient.

Chi Yu wanted to have a word with him, but he didn't give him a chance, just closed the door with a "bang", and there was no small movement.

Qi Tong: "...What kind of person is this, it's too rude."

Chi Yu looked in the direction of Maoyan and said, "Let's go."

On the way home, Chi Yu sent Chu Wei a WeChat message and asked how she was doing.

Chu Wei didn't reply until he woke up late the next day and found that Chu Wei had replied to her half an hour ago:

[I'm fine, but my head hurts a bit. I heard Zhou Yu say, thank you for sending me back last night. 】

Chi Yu and her sent a few WeChat messages back and forth, making sure that she didn't remember seeing Ran Jin last night, so she let her have a good rest and make an appointment next time.

After closing WeChat, Chi Yu called her old employer to explain the current situation and she had to continue to stay in China for a month.

The company is very tolerant, except for the salary deduction, everything else is reserved for her.

After all, she is the most eye-catching new scientist in Lunar Orbit in recent years, and FPIU will not let her go easily. Even if she leaves FPIU, there will be many companies vying for it.

Looking at the current situation, Chi Yu may stay in the country.

But now everything is changing.

On the day we made an appointment to have dinner together, my aunt and uncle came at noon.

Aunt Su helped them prepare the guest room. The two of them put the souvenirs they brought into the refrigerator, and went to buy vegetables, saying that they would cook for Xiaoyu and Xiaoran in person.

"Will my aunt make you your favorite flat fish?"

In the past, when it was very difficult for Chi's family, the family had no money and could not afford expensive fish, but my aunt's craftsmanship was not something to choose from.

Especially the flat fish. My aunt wrapped it in starch and fried it in a pan, and then poured it with sweet and sour sauce. It was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

Chi Yu accompanied his aunt and uncle in the kitchen the whole time, and said like a good child: "Okay, I haven't eaten the flat fish made by my aunt for several years, but I'm so greedy."

The uncle, who was chopping vegetables, said: "It's not that you ran so far all at once. Your aunt couldn't find you if she wanted to cook something delicious for you. You must have suffered a lot outside. "

Chi Yu smiled: "It's not hard for you to miss me."

Chi Yu not only looks sweet, but also speaks sweetly, which makes the second old man in a good mood.

The two of them were not healthy, so they didn't want children, and they always regarded Chi Li and Chi Yu as their own.

Chi Yu also respects them very much, no matter how messy he is outside, he will always look like a good child in front of the two of them.

It was almost six o'clock, and my aunt kept looking out through the window, muttering, "Why isn't Xiao Ran here yet?"

My aunt and uncle have always regarded Ran Jin as their own family. In the past, if they bought any gift, as long as there was one for the late, they would definitely bring one for Ran Jin.

"I'll give her a call." Chi Yu said obediently with his mobile phone, turned around and came out of the kitchen, and sent an emotionless WeChat voice to Ran Jin:

【Are you still coming? 】

As soon as the voice came out, I heard Butler Chen's voice outside the house: "Miss Ran, you are here."

The door opened, and Ran Jin entered the house with a cold current.

She looked down at the phone, and Chi Yu's voice was released by the public and echoed in the speaker's ears.

"I said it will come, it will definitely come." Ran Jin put the phone back in his pocket, took off his jacket, and put his handbag on the table.

Chi Yu saw that she was wearing a suit at work in her coat, and knew that she was still running around today.

Chi Yu specifically explained: "Today, my aunt and uncle must come to talk about the two of us. I don't want our grievances to make them unhappy."

When Ran Jin hung up his clothes, he said obediently, "Okay, I will cooperate with you."

I originally wanted to say a few more words for the late encounter: "..."

This promise, as if there had never been those rivalries and swords drawn between them.

It's like the next second, my sister will open the door and come in, hold her in her arms, and go to this ordinary family gathering.

Chi Yu had a sore nose, turned his head and said in a low voice, "Wash your hands and eat."

Just as Chi Yu thought, aunt and uncle just saw the overwhelming news these days, worried that there was some conflict between the two of them, or that the relationship had developed to another stage and it was difficult to handle, so he hurried over, wanting to ease and ease.

During the meal, my aunt and uncle kept saying how good the three of you have been in the past few years, saying that Xiaoyu and Xiaoran are a rare fate, not blood relatives are better than blood relatives. Although Uncle and the others are gone for the time being, we don't know if they will make trouble again in the future. You must help each other.

I didn't eat two mouthfuls, and I talked a lot.

Chi Yu saw that her aunt's voice was almost hoarse, and wanted to comfort her with a few words, and in order to prove that her relationship with Ran Jin had not changed from beginning to end, she held Ran Jin's hand and said:

"Don't worry, auntie, my sister-in-law and I are very good. My sister-in-law and I will naturally work together to support the group, and will not let those with ulterior motives take advantage of it."

Ran Jin was suddenly shaken by her, feeling a little uncomfortable.

But she promised to cooperate with Chi Yu, so she didn't take out her hand and let her hold it.

The late hands are dry, slender, and the palms are very hot.

Ran Ban's cold hands were quickly covered by her.

Seeing aunt and uncle's stiff expression and unnatural smile, Chi Yu of course understood what they were thinking.

The "forbidden kiss" that the whole world knows, how could they not know?

Chi Yu added: "Don't read those messy reports, they're all for attention. She's my sister-in-law, she was, and she will be. Always."

Ran Jin turned to look at Chi Yu, just in time to meet her bright eyes.

"Yeah." Ran Jin smiled after her, "Forever." Aunt and uncle haven't come for a while. The last time I came was Chili's memorial service. I was sad and didn't say a few words. In foreign countries, it is rare to get together and talk about the past until late at night.

"Hey, my second brother... Xiao Yu's father is so pitiful. He went like this at a young age, leaving behind two more miserable children... I was in the hospital at that time, and I didn't know what to do. ." After drinking a little wine, my aunt began to recall the past, with snot and tears.

Chi Yu saw that Ran Jin was strong enough to chat with them here. He didn't dare to drink but only drank peach juice. He was so sleepy that his eyelids kept falling down. He blinked and raised his head again.

It can be seen that she should not have rested well recently.

By the time we finished eating, it was past twelve o'clock in the evening.

Seeing that Ran Ban was in a trance, the north wind was howling outside, and the shadows of the trees were swinging wildly, my aunt said:

"Xiao Ran don't leave tonight, just stay here and sleep."

Ran Jin was indeed tired, and looked at Chi Yu with a bit of hesitation.

Chi Yu is all for my aunt and uncle, so as not to worry them, I followed my aunt's words:

"The bedroom is still the same."

Ran Jin said to Chi Yu, "Excuse me", and went upstairs with his coat and handbag.

When Chi Yu went to add food to Lu Lu, her aunt brought a plate with two peeled oranges on it, and said to Chi Yu, "This is the wo orange that Xiao Ran likes to eat, you can send it to your sister-in-law. "

The aunt is someone who has come here. It can be seen that there is some awkwardness between the two, so Chi Yu sent oranges to further ease the relationship.

I didn't want my aunt to worry about it, Chi Yu wanted to do the show to the end, but it was just two oranges, so I brought her upstairs.

Knocked on the door, no one answered, Chi Yu said "I'm in" and planned to put down the orange and leave.

The sound of water came from the bathroom, it turned out that Ran Jin was taking a bath.

When Chi Yu was about to leave, his eyes fell on a photo album in the cupboard.

She stepped forward and took down the album.

Holding up the heavy photo album, there is a group photo of my sister and my parents in front. Gradually, there are new members in the family of three, and Xiao Chiyu squeezes into the middle of the three.

As she turned page by page, there were only two protagonists left in the photo, a pair of serious-looking, young and mature sisters.

For a long time, their sisters didn't have any pictures together, because there was no parents to help them take pictures.

Chi Yu has many single-person photos, all of which were taken by her sister.

Her smile also gradually increased with age.

Her sister has always taken good care of her.

Turning to the second third of the album, I have seen the rest of the photos in the camera and mobile phone, but I have never seen them developed into a physical appearance.

When she was late in puberty, she began to have her own world and her own circle of friends. When only her sister was talking behind her, she seldom paid attention to what her sister was doing, and naturally she would not pay attention to this book that carried the memories of the Chi family. What more photos are in the album.

Continuing to scroll back, there were more group photos of the two sisters, most of which were taken by Ran Jin.

There are also many selfies sent back late by my sister. Some of the selfies have obvious helplessness and disgust. I didn't expect my sister to wash out these photos.

Late encounter can't help but laugh.

Even more sad after laughing...

If she knew that she was about to lose her beloved sister, she would definitely give her enough patience at that time, without her sister urging her, she would definitely video with her on time to share all her thoughts about life in a foreign country.

Unfortunately, life does not "know" earlier.

Once you know it, it's lost time.

Chi Yu endured and didn't cry.

She was already crying disgustingly, she hated tears, she hated cowardice.

She needs to cheer up, there are still many things she needs to do.

As she concentrates, she soon discovers a strange thing.

There are no photos of Ran Ban in the album.

Chi Yu immediately recalled that Ran Jin would take pictures for them in most cases, but Chi Yu also took pictures of Ran Jin and her sister in person.

She quickly turned back and saw a set of photos, which were taken when she went to Mount Fuji with her sister and Ran Jin the year before.

She clearly remembered that when they arrived that day, they happened to see the legendary "Straw Hat Mount Fuji", which was very beautiful. It was a symbol of luck. Chi Yu excitedly took them for a group photo.

They took pictures of each other in pairs, as well as singles, and Chi Yu even used a selfie stick to take a group photo of the three of them and Mount Fuji.

I can't remember wrong, Ran Jin must have a photo with his sister, and not only the time when he went to Mount Fuji.

Chi Yu immediately turned it over again, and even took out the photos one by one, checked them all, and there was no interlayer below.

What about Ran Ban's photo?

In this neatly arranged and carefully arranged family album in chronological order, there is no place for Ran Ban.

Chi Yu frowned.

Did Ran Jin take it? If the photos had been taken away, there would have been untidy spaces, but this album didn't.

Or was it reorganized?

Chi Yu's puzzled eyes turned to this bedroom where she rarely came in.

Kind of weird.

She frowned, what was wrong?

Yes... Ran Jin's coat and handbag were brought, but she didn't see it at the moment.

Chi Yu put the album back and walked around the bedroom, but there really wasn't any.

Logically speaking, the coat should be hung directly on the hanger, and the handbag should be placed on the bedside table, but she didn't find it.

A strange feeling pushed her forward.

In front is the bathroom with lights on and the sound of water, and on the left is the cloakroom.

The cloakroom is huge, almost as big as a bedroom.

This is not surprising, the strange thing is that Chi Yu found a light leaking from the bottom of a wall.

Suddenly, Chi Yu stepped forward and pushed the wall.

She was pushed away.

Chi Yu's heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

She never knew that there was a small storage room in her sister's cloakroom.

wrong……

There was a simple single bed and a small wardrobe, and Ran Jin's handbag was next to the pillow.

Chi Yu couldn't understand, and his back felt numb.

She opened the old and narrow wardrobe. In addition to a few familiar coats and pajamas, there was also the coat that Ran Jin wore today.

What's the meaning?

Chi Yu wondered why Ran Ban's things were placed in such a place?

The reason why when I met you late, I thought this was a storage room, except that it was cramped and dim, and it didn't even have a window.

but……

Chi Yu accidentally kicked a box under the bed, she dragged it out to take a look, there was a small and thin album, the photos in it were pitifully few, all of them were double photos of Chi Yu and her sister.

No photos of Ran Ban himself alone.

The small photo album was quickly turned over, and until the last page, Chi Yu saw the only single photo.

She recognized her eighteen-year-old self in the photo.

After a burst of rapid footsteps, the door behind him was pushed open.

"What are you doing here?" Ran Jin's hair was still dripping, and there was only a bath towel around him, and he couldn't hide his panic.
