Lincheng.

In late summer, dark clouds gather and the air is humid and sultry.

There is no business in the coffee shop, and it is too deserted.

A cold and slender figure stood behind the bar.

The dim yellow light shone down like moonlight, shrouding her in a dazzling shadow.

Her head was half down, a strand of hair fell from her forehead, and she could vaguely see a straight nose bridge and two thick black crow feather-like eyelashes.

The skin that is as white as jade is a little pale, but it is still inconceivably delicate and clear, and the whole person seems to be glowing with light.

A baby face finished collecting the cutlery and came over:

"Xiao Li, I heard that you are leaving tomorrow?"

Ning Li nodded lightly:

"Um."

"Then it will be difficult for us to meet again..."

Babyface sighed and hesitated.

They all know that Ning Li grew up with her grandmother since she was a child.

But half a month ago, Grandma Ning Li died of a heart attack.

As a result, Ning Li's guardianship fell to her mother.

——No one knew that her mother was still there and married into a wealthy family. Moreover, it is in Yunzhou, which is only an hour's drive from Lincheng.

"However, since I haven't seen you for so many years, your mother must miss you very much." Babyface said dryly.

Ning Li made a move and raised her eyelashes slightly.

It was a pair of extremely beautiful peach blossom eyes, hooked on the outside and warped on the inside, clean and bright, but the pupils of the eyes were extremely dark, as deep as the hazy night, adding a bit of desertedness.

The corners of her lips were curved, and the bottom of her eyes seemed to have shreds of light rippling, and her voice was calm:

"Maybe."

As long as there is a little miss, it is not that they have never shown their faces for so many years.

Her father, Ning Haizhou, came from an ordinary background. When he was young, he coaxed Su Yuan into marrying him because of his good looks.

But the good times did not last long. After the marriage, Ning Haizhou had nothing to do and did not seek to make progress. Su Yuan, who was arrogant and arrogant, couldn't stand such a poor life. In a fit of rage, she divorced and left when Ning Li was six years old.

One month after she left, Ning Haizhou was sentenced to life imprisonment for causing death in a hit-and-run accident after drinking.

Ning Li has lived with her grandmother since then.

If it wasn't for the accidental death of grandma this time, Ning Li felt that she might never see Su Yuan again in her life.

No one will like such a tow oil bottle.

Everyone understands this truth, but in her last life, she yearned for family affection, she was naive to the point of stupidity, was disfigured, slandered, lost everything, and gained notoriety.

When she woke up again, she found that she was seventeen again.

Fortunately, everything - just started.

......

The baby face was a little surprised.

When Ning Li talked about this before, her eyes were always full of joy, why today...

I don't know why, but Ning Li seems to have changed a bit since she had a high fever three days ago.

The phone in Ning Li's pocket vibrated.

She took it out and took a look, and there was a string of phone numbers from Yunzhou on the screen.

Her eyes narrowed slightly, then she cut off the phone neatly and set it to mute.

Babyface curiously said:

"Who is it?"

Ning Li didn't care:

"I don't know, it may be a harassing call."

The baby face nodded knowingly, turned around and went to the cubicle to change clothes and come out.

Originally, she was on the night shift today, but when something happened at home, Ning Li took the initiative to change shifts with her, and she was very grateful.

"Ning Li, then I'm leaving! Be careful when you go back later."

Ning Li smiled and waved goodbye to her.

......

The sky was getting darker.

There was a rumbling sound of thunder, and pea-sized raindrops smashed down.

Ning Li stayed in the store for another two hours.

The hour hand pointed to ten o'clock.

She sat on the high stool, tore off a sticky note, and wrote whatever she wanted.

Suddenly, a harsh car whistle came from outside the door.

She looked up and saw a black Cayenne parked outside the door.

She sat up slowly.

The driver got down, opened an umbrella, and came to the back door.

A well-dressed woman walked out of it and walked into the cafe.

Interlaced light and shadow, reflecting the woman's well-maintained face.

But at this time, the expression on this face is not good-looking.

She frowned and stared at Ning Li. She had seen Ning Li's photos before. This was the first time in eleven years that the two of them saw each other officially.

The girl in front of her was wearing a simple black T-shirt, a delicate collarbone looming, and smoky gray pencil pants, which outlined her straight and slender legs.

With a clear and beautiful face, there is a somewhat indescribable sloppiness between his eyebrows and eyes.

The driver, Zou Hua, stood on one side and looked at Ning Li with a bit of contempt.

After the lady came in, Ning Li didn't even want to stand up to say hello, and there was a sense of alienation and indifference all over her body.

Is this how you treat your mother?

Really uneducated!

Su Yuan also felt this, and felt that her face was dull.

But years of living in a wealthy family have made her accustomed to maintaining a posture at all times.

She paused, trying to keep her voice calm:

"Ning Li, I just went to school. Director Zhang said that you haven't been to school for the past few days. Why are you here if you don't go to school?"

After many inquiries, she found this place, and it really took a long time to go back and forth.

Ning Li closed the pen cap and said lightly:

"I've had a fever for three days, and I'll be fine today. In addition, I owe my grandmother's funeral, so I can only pay for it if I come here to work."

Su Yuan choked.

"I called you so many times just now, and you didn't answer—"

Ning Li raised her eyebrows and took out her phone. Sure enough, she saw more than a dozen missed calls, and said suddenly:

"It turns out that I thought it was a harassment call."

Of course she didn't have Su Yuan's number on her phone.

Su Yuan closed her eyes.

When she left Lincheng without looking back, she never thought of coming back.

The past marriage, and this daughter, are the past she doesn't want to mention.

The Ye family has a head and face in Yunzhou, and she really put a lot of effort into standing on her heels.

She finally got Ye Ming's daughter Ye Ci to accept her and gave birth to another son, Ye Sheng. She thought she could live her life with peace of mind, but she was stabbed by Ning Li again.

She didn't want to come, but there was nothing she could do.

Moreover, as soon as she saw Ning Li, she could not restrain herself from recalling the embarrassing past, which made it impossible for her to get close to Ning Li no matter what.

"You don't have to worry about these things, go back and clean up, and come back to Yunzhou with me tonight."

Su Yuan's tone was unmistakable, she turned around and wanted to leave.

Ning Li suddenly said:

"I can't finish packing my things, and I can't leave at night."

Su Yuan looked back, a little impatient:

"What do you have to clean up at your house? Everything is ready for you in Yunzhou, you—"

"I'm not used to using other people's things."

Ning Li interrupted her.

Su Yuan froze for a moment.

But before she came, she had already told Ye Ming that she would go back at night. If it wasn't for Ning Li, she wouldn't have delayed until this time.

Whoa!

It's raining more and more outside.

Zou Hua glanced at the phone and his face changed slightly:

"Ma'am, because of the heavy rain, the expressway in Huiyun Prefecture was closed."

"What?" Su Yuan was startled.

Now, I'm afraid I really can't go back.

Ning Li rested her cheek in one hand.

It's true that there is nothing to pack, she just doesn't want to leave tonight.

On this day in my previous life, it was raining heavily in Yunzhou, and dozens of vehicles on the high-speed rear-ended in a row, killing three and injuring seven.

And Ning Li was one of the wounded.

In that accident, both Zou Hua and Su Yuan were fortunately only scratched, but Ning Li suffered a fracture in her right hand, and she had been raised for three months.

Most importantly, since then, her right hand has lost part of its function.

At that time, she felt that there was a problem with the car. She wanted to check it, but was told that the car had been scrapped, and there was nowhere to check it.

Once again, she wouldn't take the risk again.

Seeing that the situation had changed, Su Yuan could only say:

"Then I'll call my family and stay here tonight. Zou Hua, go and book a hotel."

"Yes."

Ning Li said:

"I'm going home."

Su Yuan was on the phone when she heard this frown and glanced at her.

Since Ning Li insisted, she had nothing to say, but she would never step into that broken place again.

She drew up her shawl.

"Zou Hua, send her back."

......

Half an hour later, the black Cayenne drove into an old town.

In recent years, Lincheng Chengdong has developed rapidly because it is next to Yunzhou.

In contrast, the west of the city is much more crowded and shabby.

Finally, the car stopped in front of an alley.

At this time, the rain had subsided a lot, and under the dim street lights, a pothole could be seen on the narrow road, and the adjacent Tongzilou was mottled and dilapidated.

Su Yuan only glanced at it, and then withdrew her gaze in disgust.

She sat there motionless:

"I'll pick you up at eight tomorrow morning."

Ning Li picked up her black backpack, got out of the car neatly, and turned to leave.

In the dark night, she held an umbrella in one hand, her back was slender and thin, straight and arrogant.

......

A white car drove past.

Cheng Xiyue drove the car and asked lazily:

"I really don't know what's so good about this little Lincheng. It's worth your visit once a month. After you come, don't do anything else, just hang out on this road. It's been almost a year, and you really treat me like you. Professional driver?"

The man in the passenger seat looked sideways out the window.

His skin is very white, his black hair is falling down, the line from the brow bone to the bridge of the nose is almost sculpturally perfect, and the jaw line is clean and sharp.

He was wearing a black shirt with two buttons on his neck unbuttoned at will, revealing his sexy Adam's apple.

The two extreme colors of black and white are distinct, but they are perfectly integrated.

It is clearly a very lazy and casual attitude, but the eyebrows are noble and cold, revealing the ultimate sense of abstinence.

He spoke, because he didn't sleep well last night, his low voice was a little hoarse.

"Um."

Cheng Xiyue: "..."

People are really stunning, but with this ancestor's temperament, I don't know who can serve.

He remembered the explanation from the old man of the Lu family before, coughed, and said:

"If you want me to say, you can't do it all the time. It's been a year since that, so go see a psychiatrist—"

Before he finished speaking, he found that the man sat up slightly and was staring outside.

He looked along and saw a familiar license plate.

"Huh? Isn't this the Ye family's car? It seems that I have come to pick up the little girl."

Lu Huaiyu looked at the back figure that was hidden in the alley, and it took a while for him to regain his senses.

"The Ye family?"

Cheng Xiyue shrugged:

"The current Mrs. Ye Ming has a daughter from her ex-husband. She is still underage and has no one to raise her. The Ye family said that they would take her back, but this has not caused a lot of trouble recently. It is estimated that the little girl will have a hard time in the future. ."

Lu Huai thought about it for a moment, then suddenly asked:

"Master Cheng's 70th birthday in a few days, have you sent the invitation to the Ye family?"

Cheng Xiyue shook his head: "No."

"I will accompany you to deliver it tomorrow."

Cheng Xiyue slammed the steering wheel and looked at him in disbelief:

"It's just a Ye family--wait, you shouldn't go for the little girl, right?"

In the light of the lights, his face was half-bright and half-dark, and there seemed to be a stream of light, passing from the depths of those thick eyes like the sea.

He chuckled softly:

"Didn't you say that the little girl has no one to support?"
