rose ashes

Ye Gu in front of him looked a little uncomfortable, constantly looking for incoherent topics. Luo Yang became playful when he saw his ears gradually turning red from the smoke.

Luo Yang reacted even faster. Seeing Ye Gu still standing there in a daze, he suddenly leaned forward, and his breath lingered around Ye Gu's ears bit by bit, blowing past like a thread.

Ye Gu paused, remaining seated, pretending to remain calm. He tried to move, but Luo Yang's hand restrained his left hand as it tried to escape.
Luo Yang curled her lips slyly, and her voice fell softly into Ye Gu's ears, seeming to be close yet distant.

Ye Gu's most sensitive part is his ears. This is a secret that everyone knows, but he alone thinks it is a well-kept secret.

"You...what are you doing..." Ye Gu's throat was dry and his voice was hoarse.
Luo Yang didn't say anything, just smiled, and then said casually: "I saw a sentence yesterday, let me share it with you."

It happened in a flash, and Luo Yang's lips gently touched Ye Gu's earlobe, which almost immediately turned red.
"The eyes of faith are the ears, so I will be your faithful believer."

Ye Gu froze in place, motionless, pursed his lips and said nothing. Luo Yang, on the other hand, laughed so hard that he fell backwards, wiping away tears from his laughter, "Boss Ye's ears are so sensitive!"

When Ye Gu caught a glimpse of her triumphant smile, he knew she did it on purpose.

"You did it on purpose, holding a grudge like that."

Luo Yang did not comment, and sat up as a matter of course, crossing his arms: "Yes, so Mr. Ye, please leave a way out for us so that we can meet again in the future."
The man who had teased her sensitive neck at the beginning now had a red face and looked at her in frustration, which made Luo Yang feel amused and all the gray haze could be dissipated.

Seeing that Ye Gu looked angry, Luo Yang stopped teasing him and poked his palm, "Are you angry?"

"No, am I so stingy in your eyes?" Ye Gu narrowed his eyes slightly, looking a little dissatisfied.

Luo Yang wanted to say yes, but she was not stupid enough to add fuel to the fire, so she shook her head very seriously, "In my eyes, you are glorious and great. How about it, are you satisfied with this description?"

Ye Gu snorted lightly and said nothing.

Luo Yang lowered her eyes to his waist and murmured, "But how did you know that I like roses?"
She remembered that she had never told anyone explicitly about it. It was just an ordinary hobby and not worthy of special attention.

Ye Gu sensed her gaze and paused, "Didn't you grow a rose on your balcony before, but it withered later, so you can think of this as your one rose that never withers."

Luo Yang was slightly startled when he heard this, and was in a trance for a moment.
Is it her rose that never fades? It seems not bad.

Suddenly, Ye Gu turned his head and looked at her, his tone was rare and serious, "So don't listen to others, just listen to me."
Luo Yang was a little confused. For a moment, he didn't know what he was talking about and just nodded blankly.

"The other woman Bian Yao mentioned was fake."
Luo Yang was stunned and just nodded.
"White Moonlight is also fake."
"You are the only one who is real."
"You can't forget, okay?"

In fact, he is not good at saying sweet words. In comparison, arguing with people is more like his specialty. But it seems that every time he talks to Luo Yang, he has a lot of things he wants to tell her, such as love and waiting. In short, he can do anything except leaving.

Everything was slowly returning to calm. After the storm was over, Luo Yang was able to talk calmly about that incident, including that person.

Li Yan knew that the matter was over, and insisted that Ye Gu take Luo Yang home to stay for a few days. Unable to resist the kindness of the elder, Luo Yang simply packed some clothes and prepared to take them with him, but was stopped by Ye Gu.

Luo Yang: "? You should bring some change of clothes."
Ye Gu was firm and put back the clothes she had packed one by one, "Don't worry, someone will prepare them."

Ye family——
"Ah He, take a look. Do you like these clothes? I've chosen a lot. If there's anything you don't like, just tell me and I'll change it for you."
Li Yan took Luo Yang to walk in the cloakroom, asking about his well-being, "And these shoes, I asked A Gu about your size, but the sizes of each brand are different, so I bought three sizes of each shoe, you can wear whichever one you feel most comfortable in."

"Oh, and this room. I thought you young people might not like our traditional decoration style, so I asked A Gu to change it according to your preferences. What do you think?"

Ye Gu stood at the door and watched Li Yan chattering, frowning slightly, "Tsk, you're just staying for a few days, why are you going through so much trouble?"
As a result, Li Yan rolled her eyes and didn't even look at him. "What are you doing? Ah He can come back anytime he wants. I'll make more preparations. What do you care?"
Ye Gu: “…”

He shook his head helplessly and flipped through a few pieces in the cloakroom, "What about my clothes?"

Li Yan narrowed her eyes and looked at him innocently: "You blame me for not bringing any clothes back? You don't have any, so ask your dad for a few clothes to wear."
The corner of Ye Gu's mouth twitched slightly: "..." It doesn't matter if he has the identity of a son.

In the evening, Ye Gu finally managed to get Li Yan out of the room with some sweet talk, and went for a walk in the yard with Luo Yang.
"She's like that, she talks a lot, you just need to listen."
Ye Gu held Luo Yang's hand with his hands behind his back.

Luo Yang pursed her lips and shook her head, "You actually look a bit like mom."
Ye Gu: “?” How could they be like each other? He is not as eloquent as Li Yan who can talk for the whole day.

Luo Yang raised her head to the sky and was silent for a long time, "You can always see what I'm thinking at a glance." Just like when she first returned to China, she was afraid that she would have nowhere to hide in front of Ye Gu, so she always found various reasons to avoid meeting him at that time.

Ye Gu remained silent for a moment and said, "Since you've let it go, why don't you just tell her that everything is fine?"

The moonlight was pale, and even the night was no longer as dark as usual, but was instead tinged with an abyss-like blue.

"Because I miss you." When she thought about the time when Yang Yue was still around, he would chatter in her ears like this all the time, which was even a little annoying.

I never thought that one day, the endless chattering in my ears would become a luxury delusion.

Ye Gu held her hand tightly, pulled her closer to him, and spoke in a deep voice.
"Then come back often?"

"Okay, come back often." Luo Yang said, with a pool of moonlight in her eyes. During the time in the Ye family, Luo Yang became a princess who never had to do housework. Li Yan never let her do anything, and even increased her time at home for this reason, often accompanying Luo Yang, and occasionally taking him out shopping.

Everyone knows that Li Yan treats Luo Yang like her own daughter, but that doesn't stop some people from talking about her father in prison. In their eyes, Luo Yang is the one who will always carry this stain.

It was a mistake today. I went out wearing sandals. After walking most of the way, Luo Yang felt a little tired, so he sat down in the store and waited for Li Yan who was trying on clothes.
The two people who came in were acquaintances, but Luo Yang had no impression of them.

The two men saw that Luo Yang looked tired and seemed to be gloating. Luo Yang listened to the two people's whispers for a few words before he slowly recovered some of his impressions.
They were two little sisters who had a good relationship with Rocco at her wedding, but they turned out to be just fake sisters.

Luo Yang was too lazy to pay attention and just scrolled through his phone. However, as he talked, he became more and more outspoken and even involved Ms. Yang.
Words like "sickly child", "bad luck", "mother and daughter are probably the same" and so on kept popping up in her mind. Luo Yang took a deep breath, put the things aside, slowly stood up, and leisurely tied up her long hair.

"Now she has no home. I don't think she is of any use anymore. She won't be around for long."
"Maybe they are divorced now, but it just hasn't been exposed."

"Then they probably haven't divorced yet." The sudden interruption of the voice attracted the attention of the two people who were talking. When they looked up, they only saw the woman with her head slightly lowered, but not her face.

The two were excited, thinking they had met someone who knew the truth.

"Hey, how did you know that? Are you familiar with that person?"

The woman chuckled, her voice a little cold: "It's pretty familiar, after all... I, the person involved, don't even know that I'm divorced."
Luo Yang raised his head and stared at the two of them deeply. There was no warmth in his eyes, which was unexpectedly creepy.

The two women were really shocked. It was not a glorious thing to discuss gossip in front of the person concerned.

But that person was very proud, and after a while he showed no fear towards Luo Yang and put on a condescending attitude.
"You have lost your home, and you still expect the Ye family to want you? You are really wishful thinking."

The man became more and more excited as he spoke, and the people around him couldn't stop him.

Luo Yang just smiled frivolously, and listened to her analysis of his own value at ease, nodding occasionally. At the end, Luo Yang commented indifferently: "Suitable for market analysis, but I'm really sorry, I'm very happy and can't do what you wish, what a pity."

The woman was furious, but before she could refute, Li Yan walked out of the fitting room.

"Little girl, go home quickly. If you come home late, your parents will be looking for you." Li Yan smiled kindly, looked at the woman, and said words that had nothing to do with the situation.

But the next second, the phone in the woman's bag rang. After answering it, she began to scold, "Who told you to mess with Master Ye's wife without any eyes! You ruined the cooperation at home, get back here!"

The woman's eyes suddenly widened, and she looked at the woman in front of her in disbelief. Her cell phone fell to the ground with a bang. She pursed her lips tightly, and her wrist trembled almost imperceptibly.

Li Yan's eyes flickered slightly, and she looked down at her condescendingly: "Little girl, next time you speak, you must think carefully before you speak, what you should say and what you shouldn't say."
Luo Yang originally just wanted to warn her, but she didn't expect Li Yan to act so quickly that she couldn't even react.

After the people left, Li Yan took Luo Yang's hand, gently squeezed her palm, and said earnestly: "Ah He, if this happens again in the future, tell me everything. I will never allow anyone to have bad opinions about you. What kind of person you are, your family does not need to know from outsiders."
"Just remember that I support you unconditionally."

After living in the Ye family for a week, Luo Yang enjoyed it very much. However, Ye Gu could not stay any longer and refused to stay any longer. He confronted Li Yan for a long time, but was finally beaten to silence by the old man. He looked at Li Yan with resentment as he had no place to vent his anger.

Ever since returning home, Luo Yang has always been monopolized by Li Yan, and he doesn't even have time to be alone with her.

Sitting in the car, Ye Gu remained silent. There seemed to be an invisible dark cloud above his head, which was lingering and could explode with thunder in the next second.

Luo Yang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He pushed the partition back and poked his cheek with his hand. "Why are you even angrier after returning home?"

"Heh, it's all because of you." He snorted softly, too proud to talk to her.

Her eyes dropped to the back of his hand which was slightly red. The injury from the old man just now, although relatively light, still left a faint red mark.
She stretched out her slightly cool palm and held it, "Does it hurt?"

Seeing the worry on Luo Yang's face, Ye Gu was overjoyed, but he still pretended to be cool and twisted his neck, "It's nothing, it doesn't hurt."

A few seconds later, Ye Gu changed his words and said, "Actually, there is a little bit, just a little bit."
Seeing that Luo Yang didn't react, he decided to take another step back and cleared his throat.
"Maybe...it would feel better if you blow on it."
Look, these stairs are shiny and bright.

Luo Yang rolled his eyes, which was rare: "You sound fake, but I ate a lot of jackfruit today, are you sure?"
Ye Gu didn't like the taste of jackfruit. He always felt that jackfruit was as smelly as durian. If it weren't for Luo Yang's love for it, he would have thrown almost all of the jackfruits out of the house.

Ye Gu: “…” The steps, bang, were stepped on.
Who is the one who doesn't understand romance? There's nothing I can do about her.

It was noon the next day when Luo Yang finally woke up. He had been getting more and more sleepy recently. If he hadn't had less work recently, he would have been late for work often.

I just woke up and received a series of calls.
Tian Tian naturally rushed to the front line.

"Rich woman, please support me!"
"what?"
Tian Tian pounded the table: "Now that you are President Luo, why don't you consider raising a canary? For example, I am cute, obedient and sensible~"
Luo Yang was confused.
