If the world had no daylight

Ye Li picked up the coffee cup on the desk, took a sip and found that it was completely cold.

He looked up to the outside of the office and saw a group of overtime workers dozing off, and finally realized that it was very late.

Thinking that he might sleep in the company tonight, Ye Li stood up and stretched his already stiff waist and back, then picked up his cell phone and called Bai Tian.

The beep rang for a long time before the other side picked it up.

Bai Tian's voice came over: "Hello?"

Ye Li yawned quietly, and asked with a smile, "Are you home?"

"Here we are." She said, and there was a sound of closing the door.

Ye Li asked after hearing this: "You just came in now? It's a bit late today."

"Well, I came back by bike."

She often rides a bicycle to and from get off work. Ye Li didn't find it strange. After nodding, he said, "I'll have to work overtime for more than half a month, so I can't pick you up. Be careful when you get off work, and send me a information."

After a rustling sound on the phone, the other party said "OK".

Ye Li was puzzled when he heard that voice: "Why are you so noisy over there, it's all over."

"New residents have moved in."

"If the other party is easy to talk, you can remind him to keep his voice down. It's late and you need to rest." Ye Li said with a frown.

The person at the other end was silent for a while, and then said: "I met her face to face when I came back."

Ye Li let out a "hmm" and waited for the next sentence.

Bai Tian sat down on the sofa, lowered his head, and asked, "A Yuan, don't you know your sister moved?"

Ye Li was stunned for a moment, before realizing it after a few seconds, he raised his voice and said, "So she moved to the opposite side of your house?"

After he finished speaking, he sat down again, opened the WeChat on the computer and glanced at it, and then continued: "Yesterday, she told me that she was going to move. I wanted to help, but I can't leave because of overtime work recently. I don't know where her new home address is."

Ye Li thought for a while, and comforted him: "Don't be nervous, she is actually not difficult to get along with. It's just that she has been troublesome recently, and when the limelight passes, she will be fine."

News is time-sensitive, and the Internet is also very forgetful.So no matter how big it is, the enthusiasm will basically disappear after a week.As long as the popularity goes down, the media will naturally stop stalking.

Therefore, people in the entertainment industry are never afraid of being hacked, only afraid of not being popular.

The person on the other end of the phone didn't speak, Ye Li belatedly remembered something.He always talked about things, and he didn't want to pretend he didn't know at this moment.So he asked: "I asked you, don't be unhappy. You came back suddenly two days ago, is it because you didn't have a good time with my sister?"

The people over there were still silent, Ye Li scratched his face, and said a little uneasy: "Actually, my sister looks indifferent, but her heart is very good. After getting along for a long time, you will find that she is a very careful person, He also takes good care of others.”

There seemed to be a flash of laughter on the phone, the voice was so soft and fast that Ye Li was not sure if he heard it wrong.

He sat on the office chair, thought about it carefully, and said frankly: "After that day, the two of us haven't had a good talk. I have to confess to you that it is true that I have never mentioned my sister to you. My mistake, I apologize to you."

Ye Li sat up straight, organized his words and continued: "In fact, my sister and I haven't been in touch for so many years, and we haven't seen each other all year round. You know that her job is to travel around a lot, and she even stays at home. In a few days, let alone come back to see me and my mother."

He said, thinking of something, and sighed again.

"We are a reorganized family. When my mother and I moved into Ye's house, my sister actually didn't welcome us very much. She even ran away from home because of this incident."

Bai Tian who was sitting on the sofa paused and raised his head.

Ye Li seldom recalled those unhappy things in the past, but it doesn't mean he forgot all of them.On the contrary, he has always firmly remembered.Because those are the debts he and his mother owed Ye Wan, and it will take a lifetime to remember them.

The name Ye Li was a new name that Ye Chengze personally chose for him after he officially registered his marriage with Xu Lin.

At first he didn't quite understand why he wanted to change his name, but his mother had no objection, so he carefully concealed his doubts and reluctance.

Ye Chengze treated him very well.Open an account for him, let him go to a private school, and never feel sorry for the money spent on him.So Ye Li didn't want to make the other party unhappy because of small things.

The mother's medical expenses were an astronomical sum for them, so much so that she had already given up on continuing treatment—Ye Li found out more than once that she refused to go to the hospital to prescribe medicine after she finished taking the medicine.

But the money is affordable for Ye Chengze.He arranged the best hospital for his mother, found the most authoritative doctor, and put all his energy on his mother every day except work.

He once said quietly to himself: "Your mother still has hope, so you must persuade her not to give up the chance to live. Leave other matters to uncle to solve."

Ye Li once thought that Uncle Ye must be the god sent by heaven to save them.

Without Uncle Ye, he and his mother might have starved to death on the streets.This kindness is like reborn parents, so he never dared to forget it for a moment.

But it wasn't until they moved into Ye's house that Ye Li discovered that these things that were very precious to them were all snatched from others.

This "other" is Ye Wan.

Ye Chengze's money, Ye Chengze's care and company, and Ye Chengze's paternal love for him all belonged to Ye Wan originally.

Because the two outsiders entered Ye's house, this caused more conflicts between the father and daughter who were already indifferent, and they failed to resolve it for a long time.

Ye Li still remembers the night when he first met Ye Wan.

The girl who was one year older than him stood on the stairs and looked down from above, her pure black eyes were calm, alienated and indifferent.She only glanced at them, then went upstairs without looking back.

It was his birthday that day, and Uncle Ye prepared a sumptuous dinner at home to celebrate his birthday.But Ye Wan was absent from that dinner.

Although Ye Li is only 15 years old, but in a single-parent family, he matures much earlier than boys of the same age.He knew that this was an unwelcome signal. If he and his mother wanted to live with Ye Wan in the future, it would not be very pleasant.

Ye Chengze didn't seem to care about Ye Wan's reaction at all. He smiled awkwardly, and then said to his mother: "Little child, you are still in the rebellious stage. Leave her alone, let's eat first."

But that meal, all three of them ate absent-mindedly.

Ye Li knew that her mother was actually very concerned about Ye Wan's attitude, but as an outsider, she had no position to dictate other people's family affairs.This also led to the fact that in later life, even though the mother tried to help the father and daughter to ease the relationship countless times, they all failed.

On New Year's Eve of that year, Ye Chengze brought Ye Li and Xu Lin into Ye's house again, and announced that they planned to register their marriage as soon as possible.

Looking at Ye Wan who was sitting on the sofa with an indifferent expression, Ye Li felt ashamed for some reason.

At that moment, he felt very clearly that he was robbing others.This feeling made him bow his head guiltily, unable to say a word.

But he and his mother needed this family, and they needed a chance to survive.Even if it hurts an innocent person.

On that New Year's Eve, Ye Wan rushed out of the house and never came back.

She disappeared completely and no one knew where she went.It is said that even the teachers and classmates in the school are helping to find her, and Ye Chengze is also devastated and worried all day long because of this matter.

Ye Li secretly asked his mother: "She might be in danger after missing for so long, why didn't Uncle Ye call the police?"

However, the mother just shook her head with a complicated face and did not answer.

At that time, he and his mother were still living in the apartment rented by Ye Chengze. Originally, Ye Chengze planned to take them home after the Chinese New Year, and he also went through the marriage registration procedures.

But because Ye Wan ran away from home, this matter had to be shelved.

At the end of February, his mother's old illness relapsed. Ye Chengze, who hadn't slept well for a whole month because of Ye Wan, rushed to the hospital and stayed with him in the ward for several days until his mother's condition stabilized.

His handsome face became haggard in just a few days, Ye Li felt guilty and sad when he saw it.

However, Ye Li has no way to lose his mother again.In any case, Ye Chengze was their life-saving straw. Even if he was thick-skinned, even if he was selfish and despicable, he would let his mother marry Uncle Ye.

Fortunately, Ye Wan came back safely.

However, like a different person, she no longer took any action to oppose Ye Chengze's remarriage, and she no longer stayed out all night.

Until Ye Li and Xu Lin moved into Ye's house, she didn't have much reaction, as if she didn't care at all.

So Ye Chengze and Ye Li thought that after she accepted this new family, everyone would be able to live in peace in the future.

Ye Li changed her name, Xu Lin was discharged from the hospital again, there were two more people in the huge garden building, and it seemed much more lively.

The four of them ate breakfast and dinner together every day, chatting with each other at the dinner table.Ye Li will report on her life in school, new friends she has made and her progress in studies every day.Then he was praised and affirmed by Ye Chengze.

Ye Wan was very silent, but would occasionally respond with a few words.

Both Ye Li and Xu Lin heaved a sigh of relief.Over time, they got used to life in their new home and felt that they could continue to get along friendly with Ye Wan.

The high-rise buildings facing each other outside the office have all been darkened, only the traffic is still flashing with neon lights.

Ye Li stood by the window and looked down, sighed, and finally said: "We only found out later that it was just the eve of the storm."

"My sister changed completely after that."

At two o'clock in the morning, Ye Wan finally managed to pack a bunch of things to make room for herself.

She took a shower, found the coffee machine and made a cup of latte, and then started to read the messages on her personal mobile phone.

She threw the work mobile phone to Fang Yu, and she completely let go of it.

Ye Li sent the message more than two hours ago, Ye Wan glanced at it, but didn't reply.

Although the other party must not be asleep at this time.

She took the coffee and walked to the floor-to-ceiling windows, looking at the night scene outside the house.

I have to say that the environment of the house in the prime location is really good, although she didn't consider the scenery as a condition when she bought this house.

Ye Wan drank his coffee slowly, then went back to the study and turned on the computer.

She didn't even finish tidying up the bedroom, so she tidied up the study immediately.Thinking about today being another day when I couldn't sleep, I simply plunged into the overwhelming information until the sky turned white little by little.

Ye Wan stretched, looked at the time, walked out of the study and started cooking breakfast.

Originally, she wanted to go downstairs to have breakfast, but she had already inspected the nearby breakfast shops, eager to get excited about those high-calorie foods that she hadn't eaten for a long time.But now she can't show off, so she can only dispel this idea.

Just after frying a poached egg, the doorbell rang.

Ye Wan turned off the fire, walked out of the kitchen, took a look at the cat's eye in the entrance, and found that it was for delivery.

She opened the door and said, "I didn't order takeaway, did you deliver it by mistake?"

The takeaway boy outside the door confirmed the order information again, and replied: "Hi, the address is right here. Does Mr. Ye Li live here?"

Ye Wan thought for a while, then said helplessly: "Then let's open the door, thank you."

The takeaway boy responded and hung the things on the door.

Ye Wan waited for him to leave before opening the door and taking down the kraft paper bag.

At 06:30 in the morning, Bai Tian finished washing and was about to open the refrigerator to make breakfast, when the doorbell rang in the next second.

She stepped on her slippers and walked to the door. When she opened the door, she was hit in the face by a brown paper bag.

Bai Tian stepped back, raised his head and looked over, the kraft paper bag was moved away, revealing a plain face facing the sky.

The person holding the bag shook the things, and said casually: "Your boyfriend bought breakfast, and said we each have a share."

Bai Tian lowered his face, took a step back, and closed the door forcefully.

The person outside the door held the bag leisurely, and said through the door: "You don't like it? Then I'll call him and ask him to buy something else."

Bai Tian turned his head away, and opened the door again after a while.

Ye Wan stood outside, holding the bag in his hand, looking at her calmly.

Bai Tian reached out to grab the bag with a sullen face, but she raised her hand first to avoid it.

"Why are you so rude, let the guests stand at the door to have breakfast?" Ye Wan looked at her with raised eyebrows, her tone was flat, but not mean.

Bai Tian withdrew his hand, lowered his eyes in silence for a moment, and finally raised his head to look at her.

"Ye Wan, are you interested?"
