four year itch

"Get up from my bed." Ye Jia came in from outside the room carrying two cups, and said to Bai Xiaoyu who was lying on his side on the bed in an unchanging tone.

"No, hehe." Bai Xiaoyu poked her eyes out from behind the phone.

"Skinless and shameless." Ye Jia cursed in a low voice.

In the past half a month, Bai Xiaoyu came to Ye Jia's house for dinner when he had nothing to do.However, Ye Jia's parents like this small mouth and face. In addition, Ye Ming is busy with the college entrance examination at school, so the house is already deserted, and he is looking forward to this lively treasure every day.

Bai Xiaoyu also saw Ye Jia's lack of temper, and became more reckless.

"What is this?" Bai Xiaoyu sat up, pointed to the cup in Ye Jia's hand, "It smells so good."

"Longjing, the first batch of new tea this year." Ye Jia handed him the cup.

"It's delicious." Bai Xiaoyu couldn't wait to take a sip, then sighed, and asked after finishing the aftertaste, "Do you like tea very much? Your editor's name is also called tea. And your airs The small ceramic pot above is also for tea, right?"

"Ah."

Everything that Xu Ruibai gave back was returned to him, except for this New Year's gift that could not be taken to G City, which slipped through the net, so there was no chance.

"Why are you pretending not to use it?" Bai Xiaoyu asked without knowing it.

Ye Jia didn't want to answer, so he asked instead, "When are you going back to City G? It's been half a month, and you don't need to submit the manuscript? Didn't you say that you will only be out for a week?"

Sure enough, Bai Xiaoyu was easily distracted, "How do you know I'm only out for a week?"

"..."

"You're spying on me on BP!" Bai Xiaoyu's face was full of enlightenment.

He understood again.

Understand Wang Bai Xiaoyu.

"Everyone can see your post," Ye Jia said flatly.

"Are you in love with me! Secretly poke the screen, secretly poke like me? Tsk tsk tsk tsk, sure enough, love with each passing day? I knew I..."

Ye Jia interrupted his narcissistic behavior impatiently, "Since you like drawing manga, why don't you draw well?"

Bai Xiaoyu's BP number also implements his narcissistic personality called: very awesome Beta.But the actual painting style is completely different from his heartless appearance in reality. If you don’t know him in reality, you may feel that he is a very heavy young man just looking at his BP.

Judging from those dynamics, painting seems to be a very important part of his life, but in reality, Bai Xiaoyu seems to put painting in an extremely casual position, and this contrast makes Ye Jia feel puzzled.

"Too tired, I don't want to draw." Bai Xiaoyu said perfunctorily.

Ye Jia frowned, "Then stop painting and find something else to do."

Bai Xiaoyu didn't answer, just brushed BP silently.

"Can't bear to give up and don't work hard, what do you want to do?" In the past few days of getting along with each other, Bai Xiaoyu has changed from an irrelevant lost boy to a useless younger brother.

Bai Xiaoyu muttered, "I just want to know if there is one thing I can do well? But my data for so long is too disappointing."

"So are you doing well?"

Bai Xiaoyu said stubbornly, "Then I'm afraid that if I work hard, I will still mess up. Betas like me will never be able to catch up with their Alpha's talent, Chen Lang, or Xu Ruibai. They may just be casual. If I paint, I can be successful, but even if I put in more effort, I can't match them, so what's the point of my efforts?"

The weakness of being young and naive is: lack of patience.I am eager to see the results, but the biggest characteristic of being young is: everything needs to wait.Therefore, I became impetuous and anxious, trying to find an exit, but found that I was unable to find the exit.

So, he broke the jar and blamed everything on talent.

"Talent is inherently good and bad. If everyone is equally strong, how boring is it? Why do you have to catch up with them and do the best you can?" Ye Jia said, even feeling guilty. encouragement.

"You said, why? Why must there be race, class, and talent?"

Ye Jia couldn't answer. It was a question that had no answer, and no one could answer it.

Bai Xiaoyu didn't care, some questions were just venting emotions, "What about you? Are you planning to spend your whole life like this? Be a teacher in City A? Are you more broken than me?"

"Don't worry about other people, little brat, take care of yourself first."

In fact, they are all young people in a small town at the age of [-]. They think that they have read a few books and suffered some hardships. They have been pushed by the torrent of society along the way. No one has experienced more than others, but they all think that they are more mature than others. These are competing to be proud of living out a sense of fate.I don't even have a clear understanding of life, but I am committed to solving other people's lives and helping others get out of confusion.

But everyone, who is more confused than the other?

The doorbell rang, and Bai Xiaoyu jumped up from the bed, "Maybe Auntie is back!"

"Why did you come back so early today?" Ye Jia muttered in a low voice, then suddenly realized, and asked Bai Xiaoyu, "Are you here for dinner again tonight?"

Bai Xiaoyu has already ran out, "I'll open the door!"

Therefore, discussing the meaning of things is full, and life continues unchanged.

"Ah..." Bai Xiaoyu opened the door but froze in place.Standing at the door was not Chen Jing, but three strong men in black suits.

"Hello, is Mr. Ye Jia at home?"

Ye Jia heard the voice and walked out of the room. When he saw the three people at the door, his expression immediately changed.

"Hello, who are you looking for?"

The man in the lead bowed slightly to him, "Hi, Mr. Ye Jia, Mr. Xu would like to invite you over."

Hearing the words "Mr. Xu", Ye Jia's heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously asked, "Xu Ruibai?"

"Xu Yu is Mr. Xu."

Ye Jia breathed a sigh of relief, and tried her best to answer calmly, "I don't think it's necessary. I made it clear to Ms. Xu when I left that she agreed with me to leave."

The man said blankly, "I'm sorry, the order we received was to take you there, and please tell Mr. Xu personally about the rest."

Ye Jia frowned, "What if I say I won't go?"

"Sorry." The man bowed to him again.

Ye Jia sighed, knowing that this meeting might be difficult to escape, so he could only try his best to fight for some rights, "I understand, but I need some time to talk to my parents."

The leading man thought for a few seconds, then slightly nodded in agreement.

Ye Jia closed the door, and said to Bai Xiaoyu who was already speechless in fright, "Xiao Yu, help me."

Bai Xiaoyu swallowed, "How...how can I help?"

--

At dinner time, Ye Jia said while eating, "Mom and Dad, I have a friend who has an accident in City G. He is in a hurry to let me go there. He may stay there for a few days."

"What happened?" Chen Jing asked.

"Car accident, paralyzed." Ye Jia said without changing expression.

Bai Xiaoyu choked on the rice, coughed violently, and drank water quickly.

"Oh, how could this happen, what can this child do? What about his family?"

Ye Jia continued to lie without blushing, "His parents are busy with work, and they can't hand over the work for a while. I hope I can help. He also helped me a lot. I haven't found a job anyway. I can help you." Just help."

Bai Xiaoyu wandered around the night show, she was considered clever, and quickly echoed, "Yes, yes, he is a painter of our company, and he has always had a good relationship with Ye Jia."

Ye Hemin and Chen Jing were quickly persuaded, "It should be, then when do you plan to go?"

"It's over tonight."

"So anxious?"

"Well, his parents bought a ticket for me."

Ye Jia pretended to pack a backpack and came out, and stuffed the small tea pot in it, then bid farewell to his parents, and went downstairs under Bai Xiaoyu's worried eyes.

Those people were already waiting for him outside the community, with a black Mercedes parked beside them.

Ye Jia was a little disappointed, and secretly slandered in her heart, shouldn't this style be equipped with a plane?

"Mr. Xu said the plane was too high-profile, so he asked us to drive here." The leading man slightly bowed and opened the car door for him.

"Cough cough..."

The car passed through a lush forest, and as the fog gradually dispersed, Ye Jia could finally see the villa clearly through the car window.Rather than calling it a villa, it would be more appropriate to call it a castle. Ye Jia couldn't tell what style of building it was, so he could only secretly classify it as luxurious in his heart.The spiers with smooth lines seem to be connected with the sky. On the continuous hills to the north, a torrent rushes down, and you can still see the colorful flowers. Spring is the season when flowers bloom, adding a touch of delicacy and romance to this land.The car passed through the iron gate, and passed the short and flat green space before entering the garage.

The man led him through the lobby. Ye Jia sized him up as he walked, and he could see that the owner was very tasteful. The tables and chairs, murals, decorations, and even the patterns on the walls were all very elegant.

In front of a door with a rather retro atmosphere, the other party signaled him to stop, and then knocked on the door three times, "Sir, Mr. Ye is here."

It wasn't until the answer came from inside that the other party opened the door for him.

The design of the room echoes the door. It is retro and elegant, with a grand piano, a bulky grandfather clock, and plates and tableware with unique patterns on the table. The most amazing thing is the one facing the door. On the bookshelf on the ceiling, a woman with a good figure is standing in front of the bookshelf, slowly swipe the books with her index finger, and a man with a serious face is sitting on the sofa in front of the bookshelf.

The sunlight comes in through the glass windows, and the light and shadow are mottled, bright or dark. This kind of picture is as beautiful as an oil painting of the [-]th century.

"Mr. Xu, Mrs. Xu." Ye Jia broke the silence of the room.

"Hello." Xu Yuwei nodded to him.

Bai Zhuyu also turned around from the bookshelf, and smiled sweetly, "Xiao Jia, we meet again."

Ye Jia smiled lightly.

"Sit down first." Bai Zhuyu went around the sofa and sat beside Xu Yuwei. The two of them stood side by side, and they still vaguely saw the appearance of a couple when they were young.

Ye Jia shook his head, "No need, I wonder why you called me here?"

Bai Zhuyu gently took Xu Yuwei's arm, "Xiao Jia, we want you to stay by Rui Bai's side."

Ye Jia couldn't help frowning, "I think I have made it very clear to your daughter. I have done what she asked me to do, so please fulfill your promises. If there is any problem, ask yourselves Negotiate well."

Bai Zhuyu drooped the corners of his eyes, showing a sorry expression, "I'm very sorry that I made you have unpleasant memories, but Rui Bai really needs you now, can you please go and see him?"

"Allow me to refuse."

"Xiaojia, remember what I told you before? As long as you are willing to stay with Ruibai, you don't need to worry about anything else. If you don't like living with us, you can feel free to use any house in G City Choose from not only G city, but anywhere you like. If you find it inconvenient, you can also have your own car. I heard from Lingling that you like to write articles. Lingling knows a lot of workers in this field, so you should be able to I can help you a bit." Bai Zhuyu offered what he thought was a very generous bargaining chip.

How should I put it, whether it is Bai Zhuyu, Xu Ling, or Xu Ruibai, Ye Jia suddenly discovered that this family has very similar characteristics, that is, they all live very selfish and selfish.

"It's really a very attractive condition." Ye Jia sighed lightly, then raised his head and smiled, "If I refuse, will I have to bear the same consequences as this?"

Bai Zhuyu smiled, his words were full of meaning.

Benefits and risks are always directly proportional, and there is no such thing as giving for nothing in the world.

"Xiaojia, I just want to ask you to go and see Ruibai." Bai Zhuyu softened his attitude, like a mother who worried about her children.

Ye Jia probably understood what Bai Zhuyu meant, the decision of whether to stay or go was entirely in Xu Ruibai's hands.

He pondered for a few seconds, then nodded slowly.

Under Bai Zhuyu's instructions, Ye Jia opened the door. If what he saw just now was a noble and elegant palace oil painting, then Xu Ruibai's room was in a gloomy and world-weary Gothic style. linked together.

With the sound of the lock being locked, a wine bottle was also thrown towards him. If Ye Jia hadn't dodged in time, it might have hit him directly on the spine.

"Get lost." Ye Jia vaguely heard that it was Xu Ruibai's voice, but at this moment it was more like the low growl of some kind of trapped animal.

"Ruibai." There was no light in the room, Ye Jia tried her best to let her eyes adapt to the dark environment.

A rustling voice came from the corner, "Ye Jia?"

"It's me." Ye Jia walked in the direction of the voice.

"Why are you here?" Xu Ruibai was supposed to stand up, but it sounded a bit difficult.

"Come and ask you to let me go." Ye Jia squatted gently beside Xu Ruibai, and met his eyes in the darkness. Although it was just an outline, Ye Jia could clearly see his haggardness.

Ye Jia suddenly understood at this moment that no matter who it is, even such an excellent existence as Xu Ruibai, once the limit of oppression is exceeded, he will become depressed, cry, become aggressive, and become unable to maintain reason.

Human beings are really too easy to be destroyed.

A person is normal because he is in normal circumstances, not because he is supposed to be normal.

Ye Jia couldn't bear it, "Oh, Rui Bai, what do you want?"

"Stay here and stay with me, okay?"

"Why do you think I'll stay?"

Xu Ruibai was confused, he didn't know the reason for Ye Jia to stay, but he thought Ye Jia should stay.

"I want you to stay." He looked at Ye Jia and said.

This man is so selfish, he doesn't want to ask how he got here, and he doesn't want to know what Xu Yuwei did to him, his heart is full of his own pain, his own suffering, it seems that only his kind of pain exists in this world.

"But I don't want to."

Xu Ruibai looked at him quietly, he had a faint feeling that he had never asked Ye Jia if he wanted to, but this feeling was fleeting, and was replaced by great panic and ego in just a moment.

Ye Jia took out the delicate teapot from the bag, put it beside Xu Ruibai, and said softly, "This one, I'll give it back to you."

Then, stand up and turn to leave.

This can be regarded as the complete end, he and Xu Ruibai, he and the world that he had longed for.

From now on, I will learn to be an ordinary person.

He thought so, but was stopped by the person guarding the door.

"Xu Ruibai!" Ye Jia was surprised and angry.

Xu Ruibai came out of the darkness, hugged Ye Jia from behind under the bright light, rubbed his chin affectionately on the top of his head, kissed his hair, and whispered in his ear, "Stay with me." Be around."

Come with me, come down with me.

I know I don't know anything about love, but I need you.

It was too cold and dark in here.
