night fades

"Hey, I was just about to call you. What's the matter, why don't you come over?" From the sound, Lin Ye should be cooking, and he could almost see Lin Ye calling him while cooking with his head tilted and the phone between his hands. .

The moment Zhou Ning'an heard his voice, he felt that his lungs had absorbed oxygen again. "Well, I was in a meeting just now. I'll come and see you later, okay?"

"What's good? Come here quickly, I specially fried the garlic lobster you like." Lin Ye finally researched Zhou Ningan's favorite food, and didn't hear anything wrong with him at all.This is something Zhou Ning'an is quite confident about. No matter how uncomfortable he is, he has a way to make people not notice his emotions.

"Okay, I'll go now." Zhou Ning'an took a few deep breaths, and said softly into the phone, "Lin Ye, I miss you so much."

"Oh, it's so disgusting, it's very rare." Lin Ye laughed, but he could tell he was in a good mood, "Hurry up, boss, I'm responsible for telling you nice things."

It was inconvenient for him to cook with his mobile phone, so he hung up the phone without a few words, urging Zhou Ning'an to come over quickly, otherwise there would be no food left for him.

Zhou Ning'an hung up the phone, feeling that the suffocation was gradually going away. He wiped the mixture of sweat and tears from his face, looking at the dark living room, no one dared to come in and turn on the light.

Fortunately, there is still a place, and there are still people waiting for him with the lights on and cooking.

That person is his home, the only place he can return to in this world.

Ling Zi turned and left. There was already a driver waiting at the door, waiting to pick her up.She hasn't lived here for many years. This is not her home, but the place she wants to return to is not a writer.She is a person without a home, just like Zhou Ning'an.

She does have a son, and this son was indeed conceived by her in October. Unfortunately, in their mutual hearts, they are not considered relatives.Relatives are not as simple as blood relationship.

In fact, her son loved her very much, at least he used to be.Before he lost his father, he longed for her care, and later became more dependent on her. After all, in a child's heart, the role of mother is always gentle, beautiful, and loving.

Ling Zi lit a cigarette. It's not that she didn't want to love him, but this child was destined to be just a bargaining chip for her to exchange from birth, or even the only way for her to get revenge.

She took a deep breath of the cigarette, exhaled it slowly, and looked out the window at the dusk of the city she was already familiar with. The person she likes?She had it too.

If it wasn't for that car accident that shattered everything, he would still be alive now, with the brightest eyes and the warmest smile in the world, always with a trace of indifference, with her heart and his go together.

She had thought countless times whether she had really done something wrong, or if she had done too much. She was too decisive and did not give Zhou Mingyuan any thought, which is why she pushed him to that point.But Lin Xiaoran was dead, she didn't have the strength to pursue it, and she didn't have the strength to restore anything.

Today, her son, who has always had no desires for anything, told her that he has someone he likes.She just watched like this, will that man's son get everything he lost back then?

Zhou Ningan went to the bedroom and wiped his face casually, then called the driver up and drove him there, overtaking and speeding up along the way, almost running a red light.The driver quietly looked at the boss from the rearview mirror. Ever since he followed Zhou Ningan, he had never seen him look so anxious.No matter how big the business is, he will always have a plan in his mind. I'm afraid this time, he really fell into it.

Still sent to the intersection of the subway station near Lin Ye's home, Zhou Ning'an got off the car and walked over, and told the driver, "Wait for me to call tomorrow to pick me up. If my mother asks, you know what to say."

"Yes, don't worry, I understand." The driver agreed, knowing that although Zhou Ning'an has a good temper and doesn't like to get angry, he never relents when he is serious.If he breaks things here, he will never be able to bear the consequences.

Zhou Ning'an watched the driver turn the corner and ran towards Lin Ye's house with small steps.Passing by the vegetable market at the entrance of the community, he found that someone had already pushed a cart and was selling candied haws. As expected, winter had arrived.

Zhou Ningan stopped and bought two bunches of candied haws, and walked upstairs slowly with them.Lin Ye's house, he is now familiar with the way, even if the lights in the corridor are half dark, it doesn't matter.

Zhou Ning'an knocked on the door. In fact, Lin Ye had prepared a spare key for him and put it under the carpet at the door, but now he had something in his hand that was hard to hold. Moreover, he liked the feeling of Lin Ye opening the door for him.It felt as if Lin Ye was waiting for him to come home.

"What are you doing here? It took me so long to arrive?" Lin Ye was still wearing an apron, and he opened the door without asking who it was. "Wow, there are all candied haws for sale?"

"Yes, I bought it downstairs." Zhou Ning'an handed him the things, walked to the dining table and sat down consciously, waiting eagerly for Lin Ye to serve the meal.

"What are you looking at, it's so late, I've already finished eating."

Cursing, Lin Ye went to the kitchen, took off her apron, took the vegetables out of the pot that had been kept on low heat, and went to eat with Zhou Ning'an.

There was something hanging in Zhou Ning'an's heart. After seeing Lin Ye, he gradually calmed down and realized that he was already hungry.He liked to eat all the dishes made by Lin Ye. Zhou Ning'an swallowed his uneasiness in mouthfuls, but he didn't realize that Lin Ye was not in a hurry to move his chopsticks.

Seeing that his food was delicious, Lin Ye held the bowl and said with a smile, "It's good that you're fine. Today you suddenly called me, and I thought something was wrong."

Zhou Ning'an choked for a moment, swallowed hard, and asked in a daze, "Why do you say that?"

"Intuitively, I think there's something wrong with your voice." Lin Ye's appetite returned to normal, and he began to eat, stuffing his mouth full of rice and said vaguely: "You called me suddenly, I thought something happened to you You want to say goodbye to me, which scared me."

Looking at him, Zhou Ning'an's eyes suddenly turned red. No one had ever heard anything wrong with his voice. He thought he was covering it up perfectly, but he didn't expect Lin Ye to notice it.

"Oh, what's the matter?" Lin Ye was startled, put down the bowl, and looked at Zhou Ning'an carefully.

Zhou Ningan looked at him with red eyes, wanting to tell him everything for a moment, fed up with concealment, fed up with loneliness, fed up with such unexplainable love.He blinked hard, his lips trembled, and he asked, "Lin Ye, will you miss me?"

"What do you mean?" Lin Ye pushed the bowl away, bent down and stared at Zhou Ning'an's face carefully.He covered it with his hands, buried his face in his palms, and said in a trembling voice, "Lin Ye, I... If I get married, what will you do?"

"What else can I do?" Lin Ye was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously said, "I wish for my freedom back."
