Green tea with green plum

The smog was lingering, and snow particles were blown in by the wind along the cracks of the car windows. In an instant, the cigarette was shortened by a small amount, and the gray-white ash was blown away and merged with the snowflakes.

Seemingly white but not white, it reminded Ji Yaoyao of the fading snow outside the window when she woke up in Gu Yun's bed in the morning.

A heavy snow covered all the colors, leaving only white in the courtyard outside the window. Those gray lawns, twisted and twisted twigs, and dry leaves all were completely buried.

Occasionally, a few birds landed on the snow and flew away in a dispirited manner.

Ji Yaoyao didn't think she was fascinated, until someone hugged her waist behind her.

Gu Yun clasped the back of her hand hanging by her side, and inserted her five fingers.Between the fingers, the slightly callused fingertips seemed to caress her soft skin, and there was a kind of laziness after being satisfied in the voice: "Yaoyao, happy birthday."

Oh.

Thanks to Gu Yun's blessing, Ji Yaoyao just remembered that today's Christmas is still her birthday.

Gu Yun pressed the tip of her nose against her hair, as if she couldn't smell the fragrance of Ji Yaoyao's body no matter how much she smelled: "I prepared a birthday present for you, it's in the box next to the pillow."

Ji Yaoyao's eyes moved slightly, before she saw the gift box, she caught a glimpse of a dazzlingly bright diamond ring on Gu Yun's bony fingers.

Of course she remembered very clearly that when Gu Yun asked her for it last night, her fingers were still clean, with the same ruthlessness as her style.

The corner of Ji Yaoyao's lips twitched into a sneer: "I have to worry about you——"

She turned around in Gu Yun's arms, and looked directly at her dark eyes with slightly red eyes after crying last night: "But Mr. Gu should be clear that what I want is not such a small gift."

……

Gu Yun's breathing stopped, and she maintained this posture, quietly looking at the person in front of her, like this, she could see through her mind.

Ji Yaoyao was lying beside her pillow, her head turned sideways, slightly tired, but she seemed to be sober that she could pull away in the next second.

Gu Yun lowered her eyes: "I understand."

"Then there will be Mr. Lao Gu." Ji Yaoyao stood up regardless of the soreness in her back.

Now that the deal with the clearly marked price has been reached, why bother to hide it.

Without looking back, she left the luxurious mansion.

The action was so swift that even Gu Yun didn't expect it, and he didn't even have time to keep him.

.

Let's talk about what happened later, now Ji Yaoyao is physically and mentally exhausted, she just wants to sleep peacefully first.

The group of reporters guarding the entrance of the community last night had long since dispersed, like vultures that have not found carrion, circling to find the next prey target.

This circle is like this, yesterday's popularity is no longer important, because tomorrow there will be more explosive headlines to grab everyone's attention.

Therefore, everyone must keep motivated at all times and take a deep breath, like a fully wound clock, without a moment of rest, lest he be abandoned in a blink of an eye.

A self-deprecating smile appeared on the corner of Ji Yaoyao's mouth.

At least she has the mountain of Gu Yun to fall back on, which is something that no one can dream of, isn't it?

She wrapped her scarf tightly, opened the car door and went out, heading straight for the corridor.

However, his footsteps stopped when his eyes inadvertently passed by a black Audi.

The familiar license plate number was obtained by Ji Yaoyao with great effort at the beginning of the year. A few days ago, she just lent this car to Xia You who was going to work.

Looking through the gray glass of the car, I saw the figure inside curled up in the driver's seat, sleeping soundly.

Ji Yaoyao stood there without moving, not sure if she should go forward to wake her up.

Within half a minute of her hesitation, Xia You woke up as if telepathically, and looked in her direction.

Seeing Ji Yaoyao outside the car window, Xia You's drowsiness disappeared immediately, and she was so excited that she almost stood up from the driver's seat, until the top of her head was hit by the hood, and she woke up with an "Ai yo" like a dream, and pushed the car door towards the car. Running towards Ji Yaoyao.

"You're finally back." Xia You was so anxious, "Where did my sister go last night? I didn't see anyone when I came to look for you, so I had to squat in the car and wait."

Ji Yaoyao pursed her lips, but she didn't answer. She lowered her head and looked at the tiny cracks in the concrete floor: "Xia You, let's divide..."

"That's right!" Xia You suddenly thought of something again, turned back into the car, and took out a gift box from the co-pilot, "Happy birthday to my sister, this time I made the birthday cake myself."

Through the transparent packaging, Ji Yaoyao saw the birthday cake in the gift box with a bow. It was six inches in size, with rainbow cotton candy and macaroons dotted around the pink edges, and a naive lavender unicorn on top. Shiny gold dust.

There is no girl who would not like such a mind.

Xia You was still muttering: "Sister, don't worry, I didn't turn on the air conditioner in the car last night. In this weather, the cake shouldn't go bad..."

Before Xia You could finish her sentence, a drop of liquid splashed onto the cake packaging, wetting the light blue silk ribbon.

"Sister, sister, what's the matter with you?" Xia You was at a loss, she was holding the cake in her hand, she didn't let it go, she didn't let it go, "Are you worrying about the drama, don't be sad, there will be a way... "

"No." Ji Yaoyao wiped away her tears, sucked her nose, "Let's go back first."

At least in this cold parking lot, she really didn't know what to do with Xia You if she proposed to break up, at least invite her to the house for a cup of hot tea...

Ji Yaoyao didn't look at Xia You any more, but walked in front of her.

The eyes of Xia You, who was following behind, flickered, she didn't know what to think, but she still gritted her teeth and followed.

After a beep, the door of the room was opened.

Ji Yaoyao is ready, in this cold apartment, she should explain what she should say to Xia You clearly.

But I didn't expect that the moment I opened the door, the heat rushed in, and the room that was much neater than before was filled with the sweetness of rice porridge. .

"Mom?" Ji Yaoyao's eyes widened, she really shouldn't be in the mood to face the scene in front of her, "Why are you here?"

Zhang Yulan visited Ji Yaoyao in Beijing last year, and the door lock recorded her fingerprints, so she came here without anyone noticing, even Ji Yaoyao didn't know.

"I came to visit my daughter?" Zhang Yulan put down the cat teasing stick in her hand, and she was confident, "Why can't you come?"

She glanced at Ji Yaoyao up and down: "Smelly girl, you didn't come home last night, did you?"

Judging from her tone, she only came in the morning.

No matter when, at least she still has her mother by her side. Ji Yaoyao's eyes were red, but before she had time to be too sad, Zhang Yulan muttered again: "You said you, falling in love is such a big thing, don't talk to me about it." Let's talk about it, someone from your father's company saw Weibo and asked us if you were in a relationship with a girl, this is Xiaoxia, right?"

Xia You, who had been ignored all this time, was finally able to speak out at this moment: "Ah, Auntie, hello when we meet for the first time, my name is Xia You."

Seeing her parents coming too suddenly, Xia You, who has always been eloquent, suddenly stumbled.

With her honest appearance, Zhang Yulan couldn't say anything. She saw the cake in Xia You's hand: "He is a caring child. He bought a cake for Yaoyao's birthday early in the morning."

"Yeah." Xia You agreed in a low voice, and added, "I made it for... Yaoyao myself."

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Yulan's expression softened significantly.

She took the cake and put it on the table: "Xiao Xia hasn't had breakfast yet, right? Auntie will make porridge with preserved egg and lean meat later. You can sit in the living room and watch TV for a while. The meal will be ready soon."

With that said, she stuffed the remote control into Xia You's hand.

Xia You obediently sat on the sofa, Zhang Yulan grabbed Ji Yaoyao's arm, and turned to the guest: "Yaoyao came to the kitchen to help mom."

Zhang Yulan led her into the kitchen, and closed the door behind her to block the sound from outside.

She pretended to chop the onions, and asked Ji Yaoyao in a low voice: "What did you and that Xiao Xia go last night?"

"Mom..." Ji Yaoyao was so helpless, she really couldn't tell whether she should cry or laugh, it was inconvenient for her to explain, "You came here just for this?"

"Why didn't I come here for this?" Zhang Yulan asked back, "Tell me about you, you did such an earth-shattering thing without saying a word, fell in love with other girls, and didn't tell us."

The white porridge in the casserole was boiled with preserved eggs and lean meat, Ji Yaoyao sniffed and said nothing.

After a long time, she said sullenly: "It may not be possible, you don't need to be so concerned."

"I don't care about you and you care about other people's children?" Zhang Yulan said, "I think that Xiaoxia is two years younger than you, but she is sincere to you. If you really like it, it's okay to talk about it, your father. I persuaded you over there."

Ji Yaoyao really didn't expect that her mother's age would say something enlightened: "Mom, why are you..."

"Your mother is someone who has seen the world anyway, as long as we Yaoyao are happy, it will be fine. By the way, tell mom honestly, does Xiaoxia treat you well?"

Ji Yaoyao lowered her head: "Very good."

"But I can't bear it."

Zhang Yulan clicked her tongue: "When did you become so worthless?"

"Mother gave birth to you so beautifully, so people like you, don't they all do so willingly? What can't you bear?"
