"Brother?" Cheng Yuelin seemed to have heard something ridiculous, and there was a bit of gritted teeth in his words, "Ruan Ting, do you think it is possible?"

He looked at her quietly, his eyes deep and close to the ink, and there seemed to be an invisible flame hidden inside.

Unsure of his attitude, Ruan Zhiyin paused, and then said: "I just mentioned it casually. If you don't want to, then forget it."

Seeing her calm expression, Cheng Yuelin felt that the depression in her heart had been added a lot, and she was blocked for a while and had nothing to say.

It's been many years since graduated, and it has been a long time since had the urge to beat Qian Fan.

Seeing that he didn't speak any more, Ruan Zhiyin went straight back to the room.

After changing her pajamas, she sat down by the bed and clicked on the WeChat message on her phone.

At the top of the dialog box, is a message sent by Ruan Zhiyin.

[It seems that I suddenly started to hesitate whether to continue chasing people. ]

Ye Yanchu: What are you struggling with? Didn't Cheng Yuelin immediately issue a statement saying that he didn't know Liu Qiaojing? Are you both single?

During the day, Qian Fan called Ruan Zhiyin and explained that Liu Qiaojing was only his junior high school classmate and did not know Cheng Yuelin.

Before long, Lin Heng's official blog quickly dispelled the rumors and clarified the rumors, and directly sent a lawyer's letter to several marketing accounts that caused the rumors, and also expressed that he was considering prosecution.

Those marketing accounts immediately deleted the scandal and apologized. Liu Qiaojing also posted a Weibo, admitting that she did not know President Lin Heng and everything was a misunderstanding.

It was only afterwards that insiders broke the news that Liu Qiaojing was directly removed from the long-awaited host of a new show that a certain station had pushed, seemingly because someone was dissatisfied with the other party's behavior of touching porcelain.

Even if suspected that Liu Qiaojing was Cheng Yuelin's so-called first love at first, when saw the latter, conjecture was broken.

Ye Yanchu said that both of them are single.

But Cheng Yuelin hasn't been in a relationship in recent years. What if he became celibate because his first love ended badly, and didn't want to start a new relationship?

Ruan Zhiyin felt that he should converge a little bit, and don't burden the other party because of that unruly heart.

Of course, this is only one of the reasons.

As for the others, it should be that the moment she saw the scandal, she had other concerns.

She has begun to fall in love with the current life, and she is not even willing to break it, fearing that the result after the break... will be a different situation.

——

On Saturday, Ruan Zhiyin got up early.

Today is the day to send Cheng Lang abroad.

Cheng Lang doesn't have much luggage. Cheng Hui calls and chats with Cheng Lang from time to time recently. The children's things are also neatly prepared.

There is no shortage of clothes, he only has a few favorite toys. After helping him pack his things, Ruan Zhiyin and Cheng Yuelin drove Cheng Lang to the airport.

Xu was because Cheng Yuelin was also in the car. Cheng Lang didn't dare to talk to Ruan Zhiyin today. His round eyes glanced at Cheng Yuelin in the driver's seat from time to time.

Ruan Zhiyin was actually a little surprised. She didn't expect Cheng Yuelin to take the initiative to send Cheng Lang to the airport.

In the past two days, she tried to keep a proper distance from him, but it was a pity that she still couldn't let go of the thoughts in her heart, and she still felt a little embarrassed sometimes.

After eating every day, he would accidentally touch his hand when handing a plate. When returned to room at night, would always run into him head-on.

Even when I came out of the gym this morning, I ran into him changing clothes in the cloakroom and had to control his eyes as much as possible.

The three of them were silent all the way, and the car slowly drove into the parking area of ​​the airport.

Ruan Zhiyin put away the thoughts, opened the door and got out of the car.

Walking into the departure hall, she led Cheng Lang to the check-in counter and filled out the flight application form for unaccompanied children over five years old according to the procedure.

Above are the names and addresses of her and Cheng Hui, as well as contact information. Cheng Hui knew Cheng Lang's flight and would rush to the airport in advance. After the plane arrived in the United States, the flight attendant would send Cheng Lang to Cheng Hui and his wife.

After submitting the application, the flight attendant responsible for taking care of Cheng Lang on the plane stood by, waiting for the three of them to speak.

Ruan Zhiyin leaned down, silently Cheng Lang's head: "Do you remember what auntie looks like?"

This week, Cheng Hui will video with Cheng Lang every day. On the one hand, was afraid that Cheng Lang would be afraid and uncomfortable with her. On the other hand, it was also that Cheng Lang was familiar with her aunt.

At least for now, Cheng Lang has no resistance to living with his aunt.

"I remember." Cheng Lang raised his face, nodded like a chicken pecked at the rice, then looked at Ruan Zhiyin, and said shyly, "Sister, I will miss you."

After speaking, he paused for a while, then looked at Cheng Yuelin, who was silent, and whispered: "I will... miss my brother."

Cheng Yuelin glanced at the diced carrot in front of him, and then took out a small wallet, with a flat voice: "Child, take these money with you."

Ruan Zhiyin helped Cheng Lang take it, and when he put it in the inner pocket of his clothes, he realized that there was a new dollar bill in his wallet.

It seems that although he is harsh on Cheng Lang, he is not completely unconcerned.

Cheng Lang was picked up by the flight attendant, and when he entered the security check, he was still looking back reluctantly.

Ruan Zhiyin sighed softly until the little figure disappeared.

No matter how sensible people are, they will be touched by emotions.

Cheng Lang is cute and obedient. He has been together for almost half a month. Now that he is separated, Ruan Zhiyin feels that there is a moment of emptiness in his heart.

Seeing her in a daze, Cheng Yuelin paused for a while and said warmly, "Wait until the New Year, and take you over to see him. If you want, you can stay with aunt for a few days."

Ruan Zhiyin raised his eyes to look at him, shook his head again, and smiled back: "It's fine to visit if you have time, so let's live in, lest your aunt can see that something is wrong."

"What's wrong?"

Ruan Zhiyin frowned slightly, and met him with a bewildered look: "We are not a real couple after all."

Living in Cheng Huina, wouldn't it be revealing?

She couldn't shamefully take advantage of him again.

Cheng Yuelin: "..."

She was choked with nothing to say.

In the past two days, she avoided him everywhere, not only that lunch was not delivered, but the good night before going to bed was also gone. He was the only one who held his mobile phone and waited for a reply every night.

Cheng Yuelin thought she was concerned about the inexplicable scandal, and seemed to inadvertently forward Guan Bo's clarification to her, only to receive a question mark from her.

He punched the cotton, he had no other way, but he didn't know how to ask for help. He just felt that his suffocation became stronger every day.

Thinking of this, Cheng Yuelin hummed and sighed softly: "If you don't want to live at home, you can stay in a hotel."

"Yeah." Ruan Zhiyin nodded, noncommittal.

——

Sending away Cheng Lang, Ruan Zhiyin and Cheng Yuelin also ushered in the ‘honeymoon’ at the end of the month.

Ruan Zhiyin didn't know that the location of this ‘honeymoon trip’ was in Fiji until he got the ticket from Cheng Yuelin.

Ruan Zhiyin likes islands, but Fiji is a place she really wants to go. She even had a trip with her roommate when she was studying abroad, but she didn't make a trip in the end.

After boarding, Ruan Zhiyin adjusted his seat and lay down to rest.

After Cheng Hui received Cheng Lang last night, she spent the jet lag with Cheng Lang for a video chat. Packing up early today, she is really sleepy right now.

Fortunately, there are still ten hours of long-distance flight, and the first-class seats are also spacious and comfortable, so you can make up for sleep.

However, just as lay down, the air hostess’s delicate questioning sound came from her ears——

"Sir, what drink do you need?"

"Warm water, thank you."

The man's answer was brief and concise.

Xu Ye saw that Ruan Zhiyin had closed his eyes and lay down. After asking Cheng Yuelin, the other party directly skipped her and turned back to the front cabin.

After a while, the stewardess came with a glass of water

"Sir, your warm water."

"thanks."

"Yes, do you need to eat now?"

"unnecessary."

They booked a plane at 2:30 in the afternoon and arrived early in the morning. There should be only some snacks at this time, and no dinner.

Ruan Zhiyin was not asleep yet, when he heard the stewardess's words, he frowned and opened his eyes slowly.

I saw the woman opposite with a gentle and decent smile, her eyes shy and timid, looking at the man beside her.

She quickly understood that the other party was meant to be a drunkard, not drinking.

Silently glanced at the handsome profile of Qingjun, a flash of discomfort grew in the bottom of my heart.

But she, who is also ill-intentioned, doesn't seem to have any stance to stop others from showing their courtesy.

Reason told her so, but Ruan Zhiyin couldn't ignore the unhappiness at that moment.

While suppressing, while sensational.

"Wake up?" Cheng Yuelin looked over, raised her eyebrows loosely, and pursed her lips, "Isn't my throat dumb when I get up in the morning? Drink some water before going to bed."

After speaking, he handed the water to Ruan Zhiyin.

Seeing this scene, the stewardess's smile froze on her face.

Ruan Zhiyin probably didn't talk to Cheng Yuelin after boarding the plane, and the other party didn't know that the two actually knew each other.

Ruan Zhiyin suppressed his emotions, nodded suddenly, and took the water glass from the man.

The ring finger of the two is the same wedding ring.

The stewardess said goodbye in embarrassment, and left angrily.

——

Ten hours later, the plane finally arrived at Nadi Airport.

Ruan Zhiyin woke up in a daze and found that he was covered with a soft blanket.

Thoughts gradually returned to the cage, and suddenly realized something, his eyes moved down, and fell on the hands of the two intersecting hands——

She looked slightly startled, and quickly let go.

Then frowned and thought

Could it be that his unruly thoughts are so exuberant that he never forgets to take advantage of him in his dreams?

Cheng Yuelin glanced at her, faintly pursing her lips, no emotions on her face.

At four o'clock in the morning in Fiji, the two got off the plane and took their luggage.

After leaving the airport, got on the car sent by the butler and arrived at the hotel all the way.

After checking in, the wheat-skinned young girl at the front desk smiled and handed the room card to Cheng Yuelin.

Then he turned to look at Ruan Zhiyin, with a very enthusiastic attitude, and spoke in English with some accents: "By the way, madam, there will be a bonfire and fireworks show on the beach in front of the hotel the next night."

Ruan Zhiyin did not expect that the other party would remind herself alone. After thinking about it, it was probably because she saw that the day after tomorrow was her birthday when checking in.

So she smiled back: "Thank you."

Cheng Yuelin glanced at her calmly, and the corners of her lips curled up: "Let's go."

They ordered a single-family sea-view room with a distance of several hundred meters and needed to take the hotel's sightseeing car.

The hotel waiter pushed the luggage trolley, followed behind them, and was responsible for sending the luggage there.

When getting on the sightseeing bus, Cheng Yuelin took advantage of the situation to lead her, but the latter silently withdrew her hand.

"What's the matter?" The man raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at her.

Ruan Zhiyin sighed and euphemistically said, "This is abroad. I don't think I should pretend to be close anymore, what do you think?"

Cheng Yuelin raised his eyebrows, and then extended his tone: "Pretend to be close?"

Meeting his meaningful eyes, Ruan Zhiyin paused slightly.

But anyway, she still wanted to play down the mentality in her heart that wanted to take advantage of him, and even wanted to monopolize it unreasonably.

From the time she got on the plane to now, she hadn't thought about exactly when this kind of domineering mentality appeared.

Thinking of this, she added earnestly: "Don't mind, I'm also doing this for your good."

Cheng Yuelin: "Good for me?"

Ruan Zhiyin nodded silently.

Cheng Yuelin: "..."

The suffocation in the bottom of my heart came out again.

When we arrived at the room, the waiter helped put down the luggage and left.

The room is a detached house, on two floors, with a balcony facing the sea not far away.

On the horizon of the sea in the distance, the sun was slightly sharp, the morning light was faint, and the moist sea breeze brushed across his cheeks, seeming to blow away a touch of fatigue.

After reading the living room, Ruan Zhiyin walked to the bedroom on the second floor.

But after looking around, she raised her eyebrows and looked at the man on the sofa in the reception room: "Why is there only one big bed?"

The man had already taken off the light jacket, put on his pajamas, and sat down in a leisurely manner.

hearing this raised his eyebrows and replied lightly: "Oh, Bai Bo only knows that we are going to have a honeymoon, and the honeymoon room is also reserved."

"Then how do we sleep?"

Cheng Yuelin glanced at her: "You go to rest and I sleep on the sofa."

Ruan Zhiyin narrowed his eyebrows slightly.

The man is tall and long, and the sofa in the reception room is really cramped for him.

"Why, I still can't do something to let you sleep on the sofa, is it possible" The man curled his lips, his voice idle, "You still want to squeeze with me?"

Cheng Yuelin looked at her expression carefully.

She has been avoiding him these days.

Suddenly, there were mistakes in the original plan to proceed step by step.

He dared not force her, but he was helpless.

When Ruan Zhiyin met the man's gaze, he choked in his throat when Ruan Zhiyin was about to speak.

The two remained silent for a while, but he sighed and said clearly, "It's late, go to bed."

Calculating the time, it is now more than one o'clock in the morning in China.

Seeing that he had taken the thin blanket and lay down, Ruan Zhiyin paused and had to walk back to the bedroom next door.

——

When woke up again, it was already in the afternoon local time.

Ruan Zhiyin didn't sleep long.

When woke up, when passed by the reception room, saw that Cheng Yuelin hadn't gotten up yet. was afraid that he would be disturbed, so went out of the room first and went to the hotel restaurant to eat alone.

After dinner, there are not many people in the restaurant.

Most of the menu is seafood, Ruan Zhiyin ordered a piece of Su Mei fish recommended by the waiter, and another piece of pasta.

Then I asked: "Are there any special souvenir shops nearby?"

The other party pondered for a while, introduced her to a handicraft shop that makes root carvings, and enthusiastically pulled out a few photos from the phone to show her.

When he returned to the room after eating, the man had changed into a casual outfit, as if he had just finished washing.

"you're awake?"

Cheng Yuelin gave a soft hum, seeing her picking up her hand on the coffee table to pack things, frowned and asked, "Are you still going out?"

Ruan Zhiyin nodded and looked at him with a smile: "I want to buy some gifts for Linlang and Achu nearby. I'm not far away. I'll be back soon. You go to the restaurant to eat something first?"

"You don't want to eat?"

"I have finished eating."

Compared with the previous model Xi Han Wen Nuan, this calm appearance seemed to have lost interest in him.

Cheng Yuelin became more and more confused about her attitude, stopped for a moment, and said: "Then I will accompany you."

Ruan Zhiyin paused, then shook his head: "No, it's not far."

After speaking, without waiting for him to say anything, he turned around and walked out of the hotel room.

——

After leaving the door, Ruan Zhiyin secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It was okay when was in the villa. Now that changed the environment and under the name of "honeymoon trip", she actually didn't know how to face him.

The relationship during this period of time was naturally warm, and when she finally realized that she should ascertain his attitude, she had to admit

Before she had interacted with him, she gave birth to a further desire for monopoly.

After finding an excuse, went to the souvenir shop recommended by the waiter to choose two styles of exquisite hand-carved root carvings.

Coming out of the store with a bag, my mind was still a bit complicated, and in a daze, he walked into a bar on the side of the road.

The bar is semi-outdoor. Ruan Zhiyin sat down in front of the bar and glanced at the wine list.

"A glass of Pina Colada."

Although she only saw the excitement here and wanted to go back later, she knew her drinking capacity at any rate, so she only ordered a low alcohol cocktail.

There was a vibration in the bag, Ruan Zhiyin took out the phone, it was news from Ye Yanchu——

[Yinyin, how is your honeymoon? If you can take advantage of the opportunity to wipe people out, the entanglement is probably gone. ]

Unexpectedly, Ye Yanchu would actually have the tone of someone who came by, Ruan Zhiyin couldn't help but feel a little more confused.

But she really doesn’t know how to respond to her friend’s expectations, because she has discovered something more entangled now, and—

[I seem to have begun to understand that liking can sometimes be a thing that makes people afraid to move forward. ]

Her emotional experience is too passive, and she has never been in such a dilemma.

Ye Yanchu asked her to test first, but after the trial, she felt that the state between herself and Cheng Yuelin was too natural. It was the warmth of home she expected, but it was not like the intense love.

Now, instead of the result that may not meet the expectations after provoking, she even began to be greedy for her current state, and she wanted to get along with Cheng Yuelin more.

In a daze, the wine in the glass had been drunk, Ruan Zhiyin took out a banknote and handed it to the bartender behind the bar, but the other party smiled and declined.

"This gentleman has already paid."

The bartender pointed aside, and apart from Ruan Zhiyin, there was a young Asian boy sitting.

The boy was wearing loose sportswear and neat short hair. His face had not faded away from his youth, and he could only look at him in his 20s.

The other person walked up with a smile, and stretched out his hand: "Do I have the honor to make friends with a beautiful young lady?"

He is not fluent in Mandarin, with a sincere and hearty smile, which is not annoying.

When he just walked over, he caught a glimpse of Ruan Zhiyin's phone displaying Chinese.

Ruan Zhiyin raised her eyebrows slightly and put the banknote into the boy's palm: "I'll pay you back the wine money."

It can be seen that the boy should be a Chinese who grew up abroad.

Foreigners are more keen to socialize, and she also encountered many such strike-ups when studying abroad.

When the boy saw this, he paused for a second, changed his attitude again, smiled and showed his teeth: "Sister, I can't use so much, I will transfer the remaining money to you on WeChat?"

Ruan Zhiyin hasn't spoken yet

The well-knotted palm suddenly appeared, grabbing the boy's arm that had just taken out the phone.

The familiar figure came into view, Ruan Zhiyin didn't know why Cheng Yuelin suddenly appeared here.

The boy was suddenly grabbed, seemingly dissatisfied, and blurted out: "What's wrong with you?"

The tone is not very polite.

Cheng Yuelin's eyes were cold, her dark and deep eyes looked at the other party, and pointed at Ruan Zhiyin. There was a warning in her deep voice: "She is my girl."

It’s not more straightforward ‘she is my wife’, but ‘she is my girl’.

There seemed to be a little ambiguity in my ears.

A simple answer, but the man's low and deep voice hit her heart.

Ruan Zhiyin clenched his fingertips at the calm eyes of Shangcheng Yuelin's deep pool.

This sentence reminded her of a movie she had seen.

In the movie, the heroine asks why the hero treats her so well, and the other party replied solemnly: "You're my girl."

At that time, they were not lovers.

After a sigh of relief, she curled her eyes and curled her lips, took the man's hand, and looked at the boy just now: "Sorry, I'm married."

The other party stared at Ruan Zhiyin, seemingly unbelievable, and then silently looked at the two of them, then frowned and sorted out his clothes, and said, "I'm sorry."

Immediately he turned and left, somewhat discouraged.

——

On the way back.

The two walked in tandem.

No one spoke.

Mu Ha held the sunset glow and stretched the man's figure very long.

The atmosphere was silent for a long time, and Cheng Yuelin who was walking in front suddenly stopped.

He turned around, looked at her with deep as ink eyes, and suddenly said, "Ruan Ting, are you drunk now?"

Ruan Zhiyin raised his eyes to look at him and shook his head.

She just drank a very low alcohol cocktail just now, and she would get drunk everywhere.

Cheng Yuelin seemed uneasy, and then asked: "I will tell you what I will tell you next, can I remember tomorrow?"

Ruan Zhiyin was startled slightly and nodded.

The man chuckled, "Okay."

He breathed a sigh of relief and looked down at her: "You said before that you want to be your family member, then do you think, why do I want to be your family member?"

Ruan Zhiyin frowned and thought for a while before saying: "We... get along well."

"Why do I just get along well with you?"

Why?

Ruan Zhiyin pursed his lips slightly, raised his eyes to meet his increasingly deep gaze, and subconsciously shrank his knuckles.

Surrounded by crowds of lively streets, a bar not far away came from the band’s rhythmic songs. Amidst the cheers, it was as if they were the only ones standing still, outside of the hustle and bustle.

The man’s voice is clear to his ears

"I never thought of divorcing this marriage, and I tried my best to be a good husband, so as not to be cruelly expelled by you." Cheng Yuelin's eyebrows were deep, and the throat slipped slightly before she continued, "There are some things, I have no experience. , I have prepared a lot, but now I can't wait for that time."

Ruan Zhiyin looked at him blankly: "You—"

"Why, don't you understand?" Cheng Yuelin pretended to pull his lips easily, but there was a subtle tremor in his voice, "Ruan Ting, I like you, so this love with me, you still..."

"Do you want to talk?"
