Xiao Tongyu took out the key and opened the red solid wooden door of the villa.

crunch.

The moment the wooden door was pushed open, a cloud of smoke and ash blew in the face, making it impossible to open one's eyes.

What also came to my mind were the long-forgotten memories.

She forced herself not to fall down. She clenched her fingers and walked slowly into the living room with heavy but firm steps.

On the wall hangs a family photo taken with his parents on his tenth birthday. On the sofa in the living room are a few tie-dyed handmade pillows that he made when he and his parents traveled to Yunnan. There is also a small house and a small basin in the corner of the living room, which is the nest of Xiao Tongyu's little Corgi.

All the color drained from her face, and her whole body began to stagger as if it had lost support.

"Xiao Tongyu." Ji Yunze called her from behind.

"Boss Ji, I'm fine."

Xiao Tongyu held back her tears and slowly walked up the stairs.

Ji Yunze followed behind silently, his eyes like turbulent waves.

Xiao Tongyu pushed open the door of her room and opened the cupboard, and what came into view were all kinds of pretty little skirts.

I still remember that when she was a child, her mother loved to buy her skirts and dress her up like a pretty little princess.

Every time she saw Xiao Tongyu wearing new clothes, her mother couldn't help but praise: "How come our Tongtong looks so good."

After her parents left, she was afraid that bringing too many things to the Lin family would make them unhappy, so she only brought some of the clothes she carried with her.

Later she grew up and could no longer fit into these beautiful clothes.

No one ever told her she was pretty like her mother did.

Ji Yunze walked to her desk and looked at the photos under the table with interest.

From birth to elementary school graduation, Xiao Tongyu always had that little face with chubby cheeks, pink and tender, and that pair of big eyes that always sparkled, making him so moved that he couldn't take his eyes off her.

"Xiao Tongyu."

"..."

No response was heard.

Ji Yunze turned his head and saw Xiao Tongyu holding a large photo album. Her slender hands were stroking the photos back and forth, trembling uncontrollably.

He looked down and saw that it seemed to be Xiao Tongyu from kindergarten celebrating her birthday. She had two pigtails and was happily surrounded by her parents. Her round little face was smiling sweetly.

"Xiao Tongyu."

She looked up at him, her long eyelashes covered with mist, and large tears slid down, gathered at her small chin, lingered, and then fell straight to the floor.

Those beautiful eyes were filled with sadness and despair of separation from life and death.

With a snap, the photo album fell from her hands.

"Mr. Ji..."

Xiao Tongyu finally couldn't stand it anymore. The last line of defense that kept her pretending to be calm had collapsed.

She rushed over, hugged Ji Yunze's neck, and threw herself into his arms.

She started to cry loudly, her shoulders shaking, and her big tears soaked the man's shirt.

"Xiao Tongyu, I told you not to cry, do you want to die?!"

Xiao Tongyu choked and cried breathlessly.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Ji... I can't help it..."

Ji Yunze took a deep breath, put one arm around her waist, and gently stroked her hair with the other hand.

He has always had a serious obsession with cleanliness, but when the woman in front of him wiped all her snot and tears on him, he didn't seem to feel disgusted.

After holding her and standing quietly for more than ten minutes, Xiao Tongyu's crying became weaker and weaker, and finally only intermittent sobs were left.

He lifted up her wet little face and wiped her tears.

"Don't cry. If you keep crying you will have to make it up to me tonight."

Being threatened like this, Xiao Tongyu was suddenly stunned.

She crawled out of his arms, the sad memories faded away, and she was suddenly pulled back to reality.

Ji Yunze picked up the photo album on the ground: "Apart from this, is there anything else you want to take?"

Xiao Tongyu wiped his face and said, "Boss Ji is gone. Let's go to my parents' room and take a look."

Ji Yunze pointed at the photos under the desk: "Don't you want these? Xiao Tongyu, who has been beautiful since childhood?"

She was stunned for a moment, then chuckled: "All of these albums have it all, Mr. Ji, who has been handsome since he was a child."

After Xiao Tongyu turned around and walked out of the room, Ji Yunze quietly put a photo of Xiao Tongyu, who was six or seven years old, and a corgi into his pocket.

……

There weren't many things left in Xiao Tongyu's parents' room.

After they passed away, their clothes and some daily necessities were burned with them. There were still some account books, utility bills and other things left in the drawer of the bedside table.

Xiao Tongyu found a bag, collected all the useless things, and prepared to throw them away together.

Suddenly, a small brown booklet in the corner of the drawer caught her attention.

The booklet looked old, and the cover was written in Arabic, which she could not understand.

Xiao Tongyu opened it curiously, and found only a yellowed piece of paper inside. The printed words were a little blurred and there were some incomprehensible characters on them.

"Boss Ji, do you know what this is?"

Ji Yunze took the booklet and looked at it carefully for a while.

"Is your mother's last name Li?"

"Ah."

"This is your mother's birth certificate. She was born in Country D."

Xiao Tongyu was surprised. She had only heard that her mother was an orphan, but she never knew that she was born in Country D.

"Mr. Ji, you can read Arabic? You are amazing!"

"know a little."

"Oh my god, these words look like noodles of different shapes to me..."

Ji Yunze showed an expression as if he saw a fool.

"Do you want this?"

Xiao Tongyu pondered for a moment and said, "I'll take it away, as a souvenir."

The whole afternoon passed by like this, and after packing up the things in the villa, it was time for dinner.

At this moment, Xiao Tongyu's mood has returned to calm.

At least today she finally overcame the hurdle that she had been unable to overcome in the past.

After selling the house, the bond with her parents remained completely in her heart.

After getting into Ji Yunze's car, Xiao Tongyu asked jokingly, "Mr. Ji, how much money can I get if I sell this house to Ji's?"

Ji Yunze pointed to the tear marks and dried snot on his shirt.

"Shouldn't Secretary Xiao first consider how much my shirt is worth?"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Ji..." Xiao Tongyu took out his phone, "Let me check how much your Brunello shirt costs. I'll compensate you."

Ji Yunze snatched her phone away and smiled maliciously.

"Secretary Xiao, since I am the creditor, I have the final say."

Xiao Tongyu blinked, looking a little confused.

"Mr. Ji means..."

"Secretary Xiao knows how to compensate me."

Well, the little bit of good impression I had for Ji Yunze just now disappeared completely in this instant.

It turned out that this man pretended to be gentle because he had some agenda towards her.

Xiao Tongyu felt a little aggrieved. She turned her head to the window, pouted and said nothing.

Ji Yunze turned her face, entwined his fingers into her long hair, and kissed her with his soft lips.

After kissing for dozens of seconds, his lips were still very close to hers.

"What are we having for dinner? Can I have you? Hmm?"

Xiao Tongyu frowned: "I want to eat snail noodles."

Hearing this, Ji Yunze instantly moved away from her face: "Don't eat it."

After saying that, he started the sports car with a dark face.

For a moment, Xiao Tongyu found it so funny that she almost laughed out loud.

Perhaps, what Su Rou said about eating snail noodles in Ji Yunze's bedroom is a good idea.
