What Zhong Ling handed to Ye Chuyang was a work card, a work card for the staff in the amusement park, which was roughly the same as the one they found in Zhang Jiawen's dormitory, but the owner of the work card was different.

Facia: "Li Shuangbin? Who is this person?"

It was late at night, and Jiang Ying wanted to invite Ye Chuyang and others to have dinner. Facia suggested hot pot, so Jiang Ying took them to a local restaurant where they could eat the most authentic Chongqing hot pot. It has the atmosphere of a mountain city. A few tables on the roof of the building are leaning against the bamboo forest on the left and right, and the night sky hangs very low above.

Ye Chuyang asked the waiter for paper and pen, and lay down on the big round table to write down the content on the work card.

Facia took away his half-written paper, and muttered with the help of the light behind him: "Why, like Zhang Jiawen, they are both employees of the amusement park, and they are also maintenance specialists in charge of the Ferris wheel."

Ye Chuyang took the paper away from her hand, leaned on the table and wrote like flying: "Don't make trouble, I will forget it all in a while."

Jiang Ying walked a few steps away, stood on the roof smoking a cigarette, looked at the blurred characters in Ye Chuyang's pen, and said, "Do you still remember Zhang Jiawen's ID number?"

Ye Chuyang said while writing: "The ID numbers are messed up, and it doesn't help to remember the numbers, but I remember the addresses on their ID cards."

Jiang Ying pressed down on the cigarette butt and knocked off a piece of ash: "Do you think they are really real?"

Ye Chuyang: "Yes, Zhang Jiawen, Zhang Jianing, and Li Shuangbin who died in the theater, they should all be real people."

Bian Xiaocheng placed the dishes and said, "I agree with Dr. Ye's opinion. Aren't the people we saw in Zhong Ling and Song Youhai's spiritual cabin real?"

The waiter brought the dishes and the bottom of the pot. Because Jiang Ying didn't like heavy oil and spicy food, he ordered the tomato mandarin duck pot.The bottom of the pot boiled, and Ye Chuyang also moved all the information stored in his mind on the paper, put the paper and pen aside, and started to eat.He has an advantage that others can't match; that is, he abides by the life creed that no matter how busy or chaotic, he can't delay eating.

He took off the glasses, folded them and put them in the breast pocket of his shirt. He unbuttoned the collar of his shirt to the third button for the sake of coolness. Usually, he fastened the buttons to his neck meticulously and neatly. The collar suddenly opened, revealing Two clavicles, and the evening wind poured in, blowing his loose shirt up and down, like a cloud falling on the sea.

He put sliced ​​meat in the spicy pot and said, "I'll go to Haiyang tomorrow and ask him to help find out the identities of these people."

Jiang Ying's perspective was condescending, and his eyes followed the wind to his collar, and saw that the skin on his chest was tinged red by the hot steam from the pot.

Jiang Ying bit the cigarette holder, rubbed it left and right twice with his teeth, then choked out the cigarette, went to sit beside Ye Chuyang, and said, "If Haiyang is to help, do you want to tell him the truth? "

Ye Chuyang remembered Jiang Ying's eating habits very clearly. Before ordering, he learned that Jiang Ying didn't even eat the internal organs and leftovers of animals, so he put a plate of beef into the tomato pot and helped him boil the meat slices: " Are you worried that I will tell Haiyang about the receipt?"

Jiang Ying took the opportunity to get close to him, and leaned into his ear: "You promised me, we will check it ourselves."

Ye Chuyang glanced at him quickly, and said, "What I promised you was to help you enter Jiang Xiang's spiritual cabin, and I didn't promise you anything else."

Jiang Ying: "But you promised me that the police will not intervene until the relationship between Jiang Xiang and An Dong is found out."

Ye Chuyang turned his head and looked at him squarely: "I promised you that I would help you investigate Jiang Xiang and An Dong, but it is impossible for the police not to intervene. They are lawfully enforcing the law, and none of us can hinder their investigation."

Jiang Ying: "I don't want to hinder them, I don't want them to hinder me."

Ye Chuyang looked at him twice, and said slightly sadly: "You still don't trust the police."

Jiang Yingdao: "It's the police who don't believe me."

Ye Chuyang knew that Jiang Ying would not be persuaded for a while, and this conversation would be a quarrel, so he said, "Let's eat first."

It was already late at night after eating, so Facia went to the drink shop near the hotel to buy cold drinks, and brought back a glass of sweet and sour lemonade for Ye Chuyang, and the two of them stood on the side of the road with the drinks and waited for the bus.

Facia asked: "Cousin, will you go home directly later? Or do you want to go on a date with Mr. Jiang?"

Ye Chuyang said: "What's the appointment, go home and sleep."

Facia thought for a while with the straw in her mouth, and said, "Cousin, your boyfriend seems to have something on his mind. He didn't eat much just now, and he was either looking at his phone or in a daze."

Ye Chuyang also noticed Jiang Ying's absent-mindedness and preoccupation at the dinner table just now, but he had his own understanding; he thought it was Jiang Ying who was worried about Haiyang's upcoming investigation of Jiang Xiang's mental cabin.However, Jiang Ying has always been so good at cutting corners and acting so arbitrarily. Ye Chuyang is used to it, so he doesn't take it seriously. He is confident that he can curb Jiang Ying's deviant behavior; it is like pulling a stubborn bull forward. Let's go, although the cow is always reluctant to grunt and chirp behind him, but in the end he still follows him.

Even though Jiang Ying was a hidden danger, in front of him, Jiang Ying's hidden danger was not that great.

Both Jiang Ying and Bian Xiaocheng drove, and parked their cars on the side of the road one after the other. In order not to disturb Ye Chuyang and Jiang Ying, Facia consciously ran to the back and sat in Bian Xiaocheng's car.

Ye Chuyang got into Jiang Ying's car, sat in the co-pilot and fastened his seat belt. As soon as he got in the car, he received a WeChat message from Facia: "Secretary Bian sent me home, go on a date with your boyfriend, he seems like I would love to spend some time alone with you.

Ye Chuyang was puzzled, wondering if Jiang Ying wanted to be alone with him?Why didn't he see it.He glanced at Jiang Ying, who was concentrating on driving, with the same expression on his face.

Jiang Ying turned the steering wheel and turned across the intersection, saying, "Dr. Ye, are you in a hurry to go home?"

Ye Chuyang paused for two seconds and said, "Don't worry."

Jiang Ying: "Then can I take you somewhere?"

Ye Chuyang fell back on the chair and closed his eyes: "Of course, call me when we arrive."

Jiang Ying drove steadily, and he was really sleepy again, so he fell asleep very quickly. He didn't know how long he had been asleep. He was woken up by Jiang Ying, and when he opened his eyes, he saw the shadow of a tree where Jiang Ying had parked his car downstairs in a residential unit. inside.

Jiang Ying helped him open the car door and said, "Here we are, come down."

Ye Chuyang got out of the car slowly, put on his glasses to see clearly the high-rise residential building with dim lights in front of him: "What kind of place is this?"

Jiang Ying took the lead to lead the way, and said vaguely, "Jiuli Jinting Block B13."

Ye Chuyang stood there in a daze for two seconds before realizing that Jiang Ying took him to the newly bought house.

Jiang Ying stopped in front of the revolving door in the lobby of the public area, looked back at Ye Chuyang and said, "Aren't you coming in?"

Ye Chuyang felt that Jiang Ying was abnormal. Tonight, Jiang Ying always seemed to have a layer of worries and concerns. This was very unlike Jiang Ying. Jiang Ying always dealt with everything that bothered him with detached indifference, but Jiang Ying At this time, he was worried.

He wanted to find out the reason for Jiang Ying's abnormality, so he and Jiang Ying walked through the lobby of the public area and entered the elevator.

In the elevator, Jiang Ying pressed the 17th floor and stood with his back against the car wall, with a serious and dignified expression.

Ye Chuyang sighed unnecessarily, and said, "You seem to be in a difficult situation. If you don't want me to visit your newly bought house, I don't have to."

Jiang Ying didn't know what he was thinking, he turned his head to look at Ye Chuyang unresponsively, and said, "No, I brought you here just to let you see."

Arrived on the 17th floor, there are only two residents on each floor in this kind of community, Jiang Ying bought 1701, the door lock has already been installed, when Jiang Ying entered the password, Ye Chuyang turned his face away from watching him enter the password.

Jiang Ying unlocked the door and opened the door, "Dr. Ye, please come in."

As soon as Ye Chuyang entered the door, he was the first to smell the wet latex paint.

Jiang Ying turned on the light in the living room, walked through the bright and spacious living room, and opened a row of floor-to-ceiling windows: "Two walls have been repainted, and the smell has not dissipated."

Ye Chuyang looked around; this is a mansion with impeccable design and comfort, the main color is colder, but the color of the furniture is warmer, the small chandeliers and small wall lamps that can be seen everywhere make the empty space feel more comfortable. The filling is very full, and the visual extension is stretched. From every angle, it has the effect of deep-field composition.

Ye Chuyang involuntarily curled the corners of his lips, and said, "Your designer is great."

The living room is quite large, and one of the stairs goes around and leads to the second floor.

He looked around in the living room, from the sofa furniture to the decorative paintings on the wall lamps, to the silver carvings on the handrails of the stairs... He was so absorbed in his visit that he didn't notice that Jiang Ying had been following him nervously and carefully. Behind him, he was even a little worried.

Ye Chuyang: "Can I go upstairs and have a look?"

Jiang Ying: "Oh, okay, I'll take you up there."

There are two bedrooms on the second floor, a study room, and a guest room decorated in a tatami style. Ye Chuyang looked at the three rooms and said, "A total of four bedrooms?"

Jiang Yingdao: "Yes, including the one downstairs, there are four bedrooms in total."

Ye Chuyang: "Then where do you live?"

Jiang Ying led him to the bedroom door diagonally facing the stairs, and said, "This one. The furniture has been ordered and will be delivered tomorrow."

Ye Chuyang stood at the door and looked in, and said with a smile, "I thought your room would have an industrial style, but I didn't expect it to be quite cozy."

Jiang Ying stared at his face, paying attention to the change of expression on his face every moment: "There is a balcony outside, do you want to see it?"

Ye Chuyang followed Jiang Ying into the bedroom. Jiang Ying opened the floor-to-ceiling windows, and a large balcony was connected to the outside. A set of sofas, a set of rattan tables and chairs, and a hot spring pool had already been placed.

Jiang Ying turned on the light on the balcony, led him to the square pool, and said, "There's nothing else, this hot spring pool is well designed, if you're tired, you can soak in the hot spring."

The bottom of the pool is covered with black pebbles, and the lights sprinkled on it, like a layer of bright clean water flowing.

Ye Chuyang bent down to pick up a pebble, and said with a smile, "Well, it's really sweet."

Seeing him smile, Jiang Ying took his hand and walked downstairs as if he was encouraged: "The bathtub in the bathroom on the first floor is also quite big, and you can take a bath usually, come and have a look."

Ye Chuyang looked at the bathroom and was pulled by Jiang Ying to look at the kitchen. He felt a little tired after going around inside and out, so Jiang Ying asked him to sit on the sofa in the living room and let him try the sofa.

Ye Chuyang was surprised by his sudden enthusiasm, sat on the sofa in a daze, and said in a nutshell: "It's good, everything is good."

Jiang Ying suddenly became silent again, standing upright in front of him with the club.

Ye Chuyang looked up at him, and said with a smile, "You sit too, aren't you tired from standing?"

So Jiang Ying sat cross-legged at his feet, put his hands on his lap, and said hesitantly, "Dr. Ye, actually... Actually, I want to discuss something with you."

Ye Chuyang looked down at him, thinking that he had finally reached this point; he had already seen that Jiang Ying had something hidden in his heart, and Jiang Ying had been abnormal and worried all night.

Ye Chuyang said: "Speak, I'll listen."

Jiang Ying lowered his head, was bored for a while, and said, "How do you think my house is decorated?"

Ye Chuyang looked around again: "Very good, anywhere is good."

Jiang Ying held Ye Chuyang's hands together on his lap, and said in a low voice, "Then would you like to move here and live with me?"

Ye Chuyang paused for a moment, then said in surprise, "What?"

Jiang Ying became clumsy in an instant, clenched his hands tightly, and said, "This house, I am, is decorated according to the style of your home, I think you should like it, so... ...so I thought, can you move here and live with me." Then, he suddenly raised his head to look at Ye Chuyang, "Would you like to live with me?"

Ye Chuyang looked into Jiang Ying's eyes, and clearly saw the apprehension and longing in Jiang Ying's eyes. He believed that Jiang Ying was absolutely serious, and had been planning and brewing for tonight for a long time.But when he suddenly received Jiang Ying's invitation to live together, he was surprised, and his mind and heart were all messed up.

Ye Chuyang froze for a while, before saying, "I thought you moved out from home because you wanted to live by yourself."

Jiang Yingdao: "If I wanted to live by myself, I wouldn't move out from home. It doesn't matter where I live. I wanted to live with you, so I moved out from home."

Ye Chuyang never knew that Jiang Ying even broke up with Zhan Xingyu in order to leave home and live alone. It was him.

Jiang Ying looked at him and said beggingly, "Dr. Ye, I want to live with you. I prepared this house for us. Would you like to move here and live with me?"

Ye Chuyang's heart was beating fast, no less nervous than Jiang Ying; he knew that living with Jiang Ying was not a trivial matter, and a decision had to be made carefully, once a decision was made, it could not be changed, and Jiang Ying would not He is allowed to change; it is undeniable that he is moved by his heart, but behind the heartbeat is anxiety, because he has never lived with the person he likes, and he and Jiang Ying cannot get married under the national conditions, and the meaning of living together in his heart is quite Yu promised to stay together forever, so he needs to be more cautious, and he can't take action just because of his heart.

He is used to thinking about problems comprehensively, he is used to looking forward and backward, and he is used to waiting for his heartbeat and passion to cool down before making a decision, so he is temporarily unable to reply to Jiang Ying.

He lowered his eyes to avoid Jiang Ying's gaze, exhaled slowly, and said, "Jiang Ying, I'm a little confused now, can you give me time to think about it?"

Jiang Ying didn't understand Ye Chuyang's entanglement. His way of thinking about problems had always been simple, especially in terms of feelings. It was so simple as to be childish and naive. Yang just wavers between wanting to live with him and not wanting to.

Jiang Ying naively thought that Ye Chuyang's considerations were only material considerations, so he said, "Dr. Ye, you don't have to think too much. If you think the house is not yours and you don't feel comfortable living in it, then I can handle the transfer tomorrow." , give you this house."

Ye Chuyang explained patiently: "You misunderstood, I don't want your house."

Jiang Ying: "No, no, I want to give it to you, as long as you live with peace of mind."

Ye Chuyang suddenly felt overwhelmed: "It's not about the house, it's about me. I'm not ready yet."

Jiang Ying was still naive: "What do you need to prepare? I can help you. I'll find a moving company to move all your things here."

Ye Chuyang held his forehead and sighed: "I'm not talking about moving, I'm not ready, I'm in a mess right now, I need to calm down and think about it. Can you let me think about it?"

He was begging for mercy, but Jiang Ying didn't understand: "What worries do you have? Is it related to me? It's okay, you can ask me, no matter how many requests you ask, I will agree to you."

Ye Chuyang put down his hand weakly, looked at him and said, "Jiang Ying, don't force me, please? Give me a few days to think about it, and I will give you an answer."

When Jiang Ying heard him use the word 'forced', it was as if a thunder had exploded above his head, shocking him for a moment, and he said stiffly and slowly, "I'm not forcing you, I just want to—"

In the middle of speaking, he suddenly fell silent. What he wanted to say was: I just want to live with you.And he finally realized that he was indeed forcing Ye Chuyang, but the premise was that Ye Chuyang was unwilling to live with him.

Jiang Yingdao: "So, you don't want to?"

Ye Chuyang said: "It's not that I don't want to, I just need time to think about it."

He left the sofa, squatted in front of Jiang Ying, held Jiang Ying's face in his hands, kissed Jiang Ying's lips several times, and said softly: "Give me three days, and I will give you an answer in three days, okay? "

Jiang Ying kept his eyes down all the time. He couldn't see Jiang Ying's eyes, and couldn't know Jiang Ying's emotions, but he could guess that Jiang Ying must be very uncomfortable. He once wanted to agree to Jiang Ying impulsively, but his rationality still remained. More powerful.

Jiang Ying knit his eyelids for a long time, as if he had fallen asleep, before saying, "Okay."

Ye Chuyang: "Are you angry with me?"

Jiang Ying raised his head and smiled at him: "Why would I be angry with you? You are right. I did push you too hard. You should think about it. After all, you will have to face each other all day long after you move here. For me, being with me all day is a very suffocating thing, and I understand you."

Ye Chuyang said anxiously: "It's not that I don't want to be with you, I just haven't made up my mind—"

Jiang Ying's cell phone rang, and he walked a few steps away with the cell phone, and connected the call.

It was the designer who called. The designer said that the furniture he had rushed had arrived in the city, and asked if he could move the furniture to the house now.

Jiang Ying looked forward, in front of him was a large floor-to-ceiling window, his figure was printed on the clear glass, and Ye Chuyang's figure was also printed on it; Ye Chuyang was sitting on the carpet in the living room, leaning against the sofa, holding his forehead , looking extremely distressed...

"Mr. Jiang, can the workers go over now?"

The designer waited for a while, then pressed again.

Jiang Ying said, "Okay, come here."

Jiang Ying hung up the phone, Ye Chuyang looked at his back and asked, "Who wants to come?"

With his back turned to him, Jiang Ying walked forward, went to the floor-to-ceiling window to look out, and said, "The furniture I ordered has arrived, and the workers are bringing them here now."

Ye Chuyang stood up and wanted to go to him, but he only took a step, and Jiang Ying said, "Dr. Ye, I can't see you off, you can take a taxi back by yourself."

Ye Chuyang said: "I want to stay with you for a while."

Jiang Ying smiled and said: "It's strange, I always miss you when I can't see you, and I always want to hug you when I see you. I thought I didn't want to stay with you for a moment, but now I just want to be with you." Stay by yourself."

Ye Chuyang watched him silent for a moment, and said, "I see, see you at the company tomorrow."

He walked out of the unit building and suddenly felt exhausted. The conversation he had with Jiang Ying just now was not intense, and both parties were fairly calm, but now he recalled every word Jiang Ying said to him, and what he said to Jiang Ying Every word is shocking.

He walked along the quiet corridor when his cell phone rang suddenly. He thought it was Jiang Ying, so he couldn't wait to connect: "Jiang Ying, can I go back now? I want to give you an answer, I agree--"

"You are Ye Chuyang?"

An unfamiliar female voice came from the phone.

Ye Chuyang frowned, put down the phone and looked at the caller ID, only to find that it was a series of calls from an unfamiliar number.

Ye Chuyang: "I am, who are you?"

The woman's tone was very lazy and cold: "I am Jiang Ying's mother."

Ye Chuyang stopped and froze.

The woman said: "I am Jiang Ziyan, I want to see you."
