Over indulge

I can't remember exactly when I fell asleep last night. I probably cried and cried. I was tired from crying, so I fell asleep unconsciously.

When she woke up, Lin Jiayue felt her eyes were very dry. She almost thought she was still in a dream. She dreamed that she was alone—a person walking in the desert, desolate everywhere, no one in sight, helpless.In the dream, she was tired and thirsty, and was still scorched by the blazing sun. No matter what, she seemed to be unable to walk to the end.

Fortunately, it was just a dream. After waking up from the dream, the life in front of me would go on, even if it was just surviving, it was better than the situation in the dream.

After getting off the bed and putting on her clothes, Lin Jiayue went into the bathroom.

Going downstairs to have breakfast, Zhou Hong greeted her immediately when she saw her: "I was just about to call you, but I wanted you to sleep more, come here quickly, and cooked your favorite seafood porridge."

Lin Jiayue raised her eyes and found that her father was also sitting on the dining table. The moment her eyes met, she subconsciously lowered her eyebrows and looked down. She silently pulled out the chair and sat down. Several thoughts flashed through Lin Jiayue's mind.

Maybe Dad's company is not so busy anymore, so he has time to stay at home with his family on weekends, or maybe, it's another possibility, Dad is waiting for me to go downstairs, waiting for her to do that thing.

"It's delicious, did your mother make it?" Lin Jiayue raised her head and squinted with a smile.

"Of course it was made by mother. Only mother knows her daughter's taste best." Zhou Hong smiled kindly.

At this time, Lin Baiyi spoke: "Jiayue, do you have any arrangements for the day?"

"During the day..." Lin Jiayue subconsciously tensed up. She had never felt this way when facing her father before, "I want to be at home during the day."

Lin Baiyi lowered his head to drink the porridge, and after a while he said in a very peaceful and natural tone, "Didn't you say you have an appointment with your classmates today?"

"Ah?" Lin Jiayue raised her head in surprise, an unknown emotion flashed in her eyes, but she soon realized the meaning of her father's words.

Zhou Hong who was sitting opposite said, "It's okay, Jiayue, if you have an appointment with a classmate, go and play as soon as possible. Mom doesn't need you to accompany her. Your dad is at home today."

Lin Jiayue forced a smile, lowered her head to drink the porridge, and did not speak as acquiescence.

It seems that there is still no escape.

After eating quickly, Lin Jiayue didn't stay downstairs too long, she went upstairs and returned to her room almost immediately. Never—?

Sitting on the head of the bed, she was in a dilemma, with her father on one side and Xu Ruining on the other, how should she choose?

If what happened last night hadn't happened, Lin Jiayue probably wouldn't have agreed with her father's actions, but now her heart is still slightly biased towards the Lin family.

After thinking about it, she made up her mind to pick up her phone and turn it on. She thought she would be bombarded by news from Xu Ruining, but it didn't. It was surprisingly calm. Last night, there were a few messages from He Bao and Yan Hua.

——It must be because of a guilty conscience and a lack of reason, so Xu Ruining didn't contact her at all, or didn't care about her feelings at all.Thinking of this, Lin Jiayue's heart sank again, and her body trembled.

Opening the phone's address book, she found Aunt Chen's number, and without hesitation, Lin Jiayue took the initiative to call it.

After dialing, Aunt Chen answered the phone quickly, her words were full of worry, "Miss Lin, where have you been, you didn't come back last night."

Lin Jiayue laughed at herself, feeling a little ironic that even Aunt Chen missed her, but Xu Ruining was indifferent.

"I went home last night..." After a pause, Lin Jiayue asked, "Is Xu Ruining on Huxin Island now?"

"Mr. Xu, Mr. Xu is not here. She didn't come back last night. Do you want to come back now? I'll send a car to pick you up." Aunt Chen asked.

"No, I'll go by car later, I'm sorry to make you worry." Lin Jiayue said.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Jiayue breathed a sigh of relief, perhaps now is the best time to get the proposal that her father wanted.

After tidying up briefly, Lin Jiayue came downstairs, where her parents were playing with her younger sister.

Seeing Lin Jiayue, Zhou Hong went downstairs and said, "I'm going out, ask Uncle Yang to see you off."

"No, it's not too far away, I'll just take a taxi, don't bother Uncle Yang." When Lin Jiayue said this, she intentionally avoided her father's eyes, and she knew that her father was also looking at her at this moment.

"Then when will you come back for dinner?" Zhou Hong asked again.

Lin Jiayue smiled, "It depends."

Before going out, Lin Baiyi said to her: "—? Be careful."

Lin Jiayue paused, then turned around and said, "I will."

Just like that, she went out, and went to Huxin Island, the house that Xu Ruining had prepared for her, with an impure purpose.

Lin Jiayue was listless, as if she hadn't started to do it yet, and she had already started to condemn herself in her heart.

After leaving the community, a taxi came, as if they had negotiated, maybe even God wanted her to do so.

Lin Jiayue took advantage of the opportunity and got into the car. After a while, she received a WeChat message on her mobile phone, which was sent by her father.

Lin Baiyi: - It depends on you, daughter. Whether the [-] million contract can be successful or not is here. Don't feel burdened and guilty. This is what Xu Ruining owes our Lin family. If something happens, believe it. She cares so much about you that she won't be with you? You don't mind.

Lin Jiayue didn't want to reply, did she? She didn't know what to reply, so she just put away her phone and looked straight ahead.

It's almost there.

Because the taxi couldn't get in, Lin Jiayue got off the car at the gate of the community and walked inside.

Looking at the surroundings——everything is still so familiar, unchanged, clean and tidy, and secluded. Lin Jiayue has not been here for a long time, but she has a different feeling, kind, maybe she shouldn't use this word.

After arriving, there were still so many people in the house busy cleaning up. When everyone saw Lin Jiayue, it was like meeting the hostess. They all nodded and bowed to say hello. This movement soon attracted Aunt Chen.

"Miss Lin is back, have you eaten yet? I told the kitchen to do something."

Lin Jiayue smiled politely and shook her head: "I've eaten at home, don't worry about me, I'll go upstairs and lie down."

"Okay, do I need to inform Mr. Xu for you? If she knows that you are back, she will come back immediately."

Lin Jiayue was embarrassed when she heard that, "No, no need, she is busy with work, let her be busy."

If Xu Ruining was called back now, what would she do next.

Leaving Aunt Chen aside, Lin Jiayue went upstairs alone, and paused at the corner of the second floor. To the left was her own room, and to the right was Xu Ruining's study. If she wanted to do it, now is the best time to do it.

But still, still a little hesitant, forget it, will Xu Ruining come back in a while, Lin Jiayue turned to her room.

After returning to the room and closing the door, no one will disturb her.

Lin Jiayue was lying on the bed, still not fully made up her mind? Determined to do it, this kind of thing is like a thorn, once it is done, it will be firmly stuck in the skin and cannot be removed, and it will always hurt faintly in the future.If you don't do it, this thorn will always surround you, making your steps difficult and frightening.

Just like this hesitating, hesitating, procrastinating, time passed unknowingly, because I didn't want to have lunch, I informed Auntie Chen in advance, so until the evening, no one would go upstairs to disturb her, Lin Jiayue had enough Time to consider, there are ample opportunities to commit crimes.

She obviously didn't do anything, but the sky outside turned dark. Lin Jiayue ran to the window anxiously, and the sun was already setting.Is it so late, what did she do, nothing? Didn't do anything, if she thought about going back empty-handed, -? It would be hard to explain to her father, so why not -? Lin Jiayue opened the door and left the room.

Because the piano room was also at the other end of the study, Lin Jiayue swaggered over there, trying to be as calm as possible so as not to let the nervousness out.

Arriving at the door of Xu Ruining's study, Lin Jiayue's heart began to beat faster, feeling uneasy? After several deep breaths, she mustered up the courage to twist the doorknob. The curtains in the room were drawn, and the light was a little dim. She turned on the light and walked in.

Sure enough, as my father expected, or maybe he guessed Xu Ruining's thoughts correctly, on the table - above the stack of documents, there was indeed a document called "Proposal Book". Zhongshi paused, and a voice in her heart said to her, Lin Jiayue, don't do this.

After hesitating, she silently put down her hand, she couldn't do it.

Mingming already knew that she couldn't do it, alas, Lin Jiayue sighed in her heart, she is a person with a strong sense of good and evil, even if Xu Ruining did something wrong, she shouldn't use this method to retaliate against her and punish her .

This proposal, -? must be? She put in a lot of effort to make it, and maybe she stayed up all night. Thinking of this, Lin Jiayue couldn't do it anymore.

Moreover, Lin Jiayue was able to come and go freely in this house, and Xu Ruining even placed many important documents here clearly out of her reassurance and trust, Lin Jiayue didn't want to do that.

Even now, she still cares so much about Xu Ruining's opinion, she is really completely hopeless.

Turning around to leave, Lin Jiayue raised her eyes unintentionally. Lin Jiayue saw a familiar contract, which was specially framed and hung on the wall with a gold frame. She approached—look, it was really the cohabitation agreement, The night she just moved in, Xu Ruining asked her to sign it.

Suddenly curious about the contents inside, Lin Jiayue reached out and gently took it off. There was a switch at the bottom, which made it easy to take out the contract.

It has to be said that Xu Ruining is really at ease with her. If she takes this contract that is bound to her and flies away at this moment, she can't do anything about it.

But Lin Jiayue would not do that, she just made an assumption in her heart.

Gently flipping through the first page, what caught my eye was my scribbled signature that night, which contrasted sharply with Xu Ruining's well-regulated signature next to it.Lin Jiayue didn't even read the content at the time—she wrote down her name in a hurry.

Until now, she didn't really see what was written in the contract. Lin Jiayue's eyes widened in shock, unbelievable, unbelievable.

The first rule: Xu Ruining is not allowed to bully Lin Jiayue, not to make her unhappy, not to force her to do things she doesn't like to do.

The second rule: Xu Ruining is not allowed to interfere with Lin Jiayue's social circle, and must give her absolute freedom to make friends.

Article [-]: Xu Ruining must protect the absolute personal safety of Lin Jiayue.

Article [-]: Xu Ruining wants to buy Lin Jiayue what she wants—everything, even if she doesn't mention it, she must take the initiative to think of buying it.

Article [-]: Xu Ruining should give Lin Jiayue the opportunity and time to go home and visit her family properly, and she must not intervene.

Article [-]: From now on, Xu Ruining is not allowed to engage in flirting outside, keep a distance from any woman outside, and -? Heart -? Means only love Lin Jiayue -?

Article [-]: ...

Seeing this, Lin Jiayue's eyes couldn't help but become moist. There are so many rules, all of which were used to restrain Xu Ruining herself. Only the last one is related to Lin Jiayue, but it just says "Lin Jiayue is not allowed to Leave Xu Ruining."

After reading it, I felt mixed feelings, and tried to read back, only to find that the next few pages were all blank pages, only this——was written on this page, and it was still the same.

She was about to cry, but Lin Jiayue suddenly broke into tears and laughed again. She felt that Xu Ruining looked like a fool, especially a fool.

Who would spend so much money in exchange for a contract that is almost all binding on him, Xu Ruining is really...

Lin Jiayue did not expect that in this world, there would be someone who treats her so well and wholeheartedly. The previous grievances are automatically eliminated at this moment. She is a selfish person. In the face of blind love, she only sees the result. What is the process like? , it doesn't seem to be that important.

She couldn't hate Xu Ruining like this.

Silently put away the contract and put it back in its original place. When Lin Jiayue turned around and was about to come out, Xu Ruining rushed back and was at the door, meeting her eyes.

The moment he saw Lin Jiayue, Xu Ruining laughed immediately, as if he didn't take her cold attitude last night to heart.

"I just learned from Aunt Chen that you are back."

Lin Jiayue bit her lip, this person seemed to only see her Lin Jiayue forever, didn't she wonder why she was in the study?Don't you worry that she will do bad things in the study?

Forget it, after thinking about it, I took the initiative to ask: "Do you have anything to say to me?"

Xu Ruining calmly hmmed—?, "It's about last night."

"Tell me." Lin Jiayue still decided to give her a chance to hear her reasons.

"First of all, I want to say sorry to you. Those things last night were indeed related to me, and the recording was also me. I don't deny it, but it was already two years ago. I really thought about using that method two years ago. To get you, you're an adult, I'm worried that if I don't make a move, you'll fall in love when you go to college. But I didn't do that in the end, I don't want you—? Hating me for the rest of my life, I—? A month ago, the opportunity finally came, and the whole story is like this, do you believe me?"

"...Letter." Lin Jiayue looked into her eyes, almost without thinking.

Xu Ruining's eyes flashed - a trace of surprise, some did not expect her to answer so simply.

At this time, Lin Jiayue smiled, even crying and laughing.

Xu Ruining strode forward without saying a word, as if he had a heart-to-heart—? He hugged her tightly and said, "I love you so much, how can I have the heart to do something to hurt you."

Lin Jiayue cried so loudly in Xu Ruining's arms, it was embarrassing, why she was always crying these two days.

But she was so happy, so happy, she just wanted to immerse herself in the moment, and didn't want to care about anything else.
