Chapter 1 Reunion 1 It was seven years later that I saw him again, in a crowded supermarket full of weekend shopping crowds. Zhao Mosheng pushed the shopping cart alone, walking and stopping in the crowd with difficulty.She just came back from abroad, and she is not used to such a crowded place, but such a lively and friendly scene made her smile unconsciously and listen to the noisy local accent almost with gratitude.She didn't know if other people just returned to China were the same as her, and the excitement and joy in her heart could hardly be suppressed. Seven years!It's been a long time!

But why did he meet him just after returning to China?No, to be precise, it should be them. Mo Sheng silently looked at the pair of beautiful women standing in front of the vegetable shelf, once again appreciating the wonder of fate.Seven years ago, it was they who made her finally decide to go abroad. Now that they are shopping together, they will be together in the end!It's a good thing she walked fast, otherwise, I'm afraid it would only hurt more deeply. He Yichen, He Yimei, she is so stupid, how could she think that if they have similar names, they must be brothers and sisters?

"We are not brother and sister at all. In the past, our two families were very good neighbors, both surnamed He, so the adults gave similar names. Later, Yi Chen's parents had an accident, and our family adopted Yi Chen." "Do you think you can compare to my childhood sweetheart relationship with Yi Chen for twenty years?" "I want to tell you today, I love Yi Chen, I don't want to love him secretly, I want to compete with you openly." When she was nineteen years old, the day before Mo Sheng's birthday, her good friend He Yimei, who had always been quiet and introverted, suddenly boldly declared this to her.Yi Mei, who has always been gentle and non-competitive, would say this, she must be in love to the extreme.

But how could she compete with Yimei?On the day Yimei declared war, she was defeated, and fled to the United States for seven years. He Yichen——suddenly thinking of his cold eyes and heartless words that day, Mo Sheng's heart throbbed a little, shallow, almost imperceptible, but it existed. They walked towards her, the knuckles of Mo Sheng's knuckles holding the cart began to turn white, and she almost wanted to turn around immediately.But the supermarket was so crowded that she couldn't turn around while pushing the shopping cart.And in the next moment, she also thought about it, why should she escape?She should calmly say to them: "Hi, long time no see." Then walk away chicly, leaving them with a beautiful back.

Besides, they might not recognize her at all.She has changed a lot. Her long flowing hair has become short and neat. Her fair skin has been tanned by the California sun.Wearing a large T-SHIRT, denim, and sneakers, she is far from before. They approached slowly, step by step, and then...passed each other. Not without heartache. If there is a voice that seems to be absent. "Do you want to buy some milk?" Yimei said softly. "..." The answer was inaudible.I really miss, Yi Chen's voice as deep as a cello, these years in a foreign country, still chanting in her ears all the time.

Disappointed, but also relieved, Mo Sheng raised her head that had been drooping, and took a step forward. With a bang, the shopping cart crashed into a mountain of discounted soap on the ground.The culprit, Zhao Mosheng, looked at the hundreds of pieces of soap collapsed stupidly, and the scene was quite spectacular. Uh, can she act like she didn't do it? "Oh my god! This is the third time today." The supermarket tally clerk who appeared out of nowhere groaned in pain. So, it shouldn't be her fault, no one piled up the goods in the middle of the road.Mo Sheng stuck out her tongue quietly, trying hard to put on a guilty expression.

The movement here attracted the attention of people around, including He Yimei.She just inadvertently looked at the particularly noisy place, and then froze - it was her, it was her!Yi Mei could hardly believe her eyes.She has come back? "Yi Mei?" He Yichen didn't understand her reaction, and asked out loud, his eyes followed her. The tall and straight body froze instantly. Zhao Mosheng! That little girl with an innocent face and head hanging down is not exactly Zhao Mosheng!The face is 100% apologetic, but there is an undoubted mischievous smile in the eyes.From a distance, she couldn't really see her expression clearly, but Yi Chen knew it.He has always known that she is like this, used to leave irresponsibly after disturbing a pool of spring water, willful, selfish and hateful.

Chapter 1 Reunion 2 For seven full years...does she still know how to come back? He Yichen lowered his eyes. "Yimei, let's go!" He Yimei looked at the calm Yi Chen in surprise, "Don't you want to say hello? Maybe..." "She is no longer someone in my life." Her tone was calm, as if it was really nothing. Yi Mei looked at his expression carefully, but couldn't find any clues, so she could only sigh in a low voice: "Let's go!" Looking at Zhao Mersheng for the last time, she found that she also turned her head to see her, and her eyes collided in the air. Mo Sheng seemed to be stunned for a moment, then a faint smile appeared on her face, and she nodded in greeting.

Yi Mei hurriedly turned her head and called: "Yi Chen..." "Ok?" "She..." Yi Mei stopped in astonishment, and when she looked back, she was no longer seen in the crowd. "What's wrong?" "No, nothing." Yi Mei bowed her head.But, she clearly saw them, why did she leave so easily?And Yi Chen clearly saw her... Didn't expect to come back here one day. During the interview, the editor-in-chief asked her: "Miss Zhao, why did you choose to work in City A?" Mo Sheng suddenly didn't know how to answer.why?Because I have studied here for more than a year?Because I knew him here?Because I have been through a lot here?

She didn't know it at first, but this was the first thing she thought of before returning to China. It wasn't until she saw him that day that she realized that she wanted to see him. Although he no longer belonged to her, she just wanted to see him. Just look at it. "Maybe it's because I can't go home." Mo Sheng said.The editor-in-chief looked at her strangely for a long time, then left her behind and became a photojournalist for a women's magazine. However, the editor-in-chief put too much emphasis on her experience working in foreign magazines, which made her uneasy.

"It's just a small magazine." Mo Sheng said to the editor-in-chief. "Hey! Ah Sheng." The female editor-in-chief in her forties called her by her name affectionately, "Are you praising my knowledge? I know everything about a small magazine in the United States." Mo Sheng laughed, and her uneasiness was swept away. The editor-in-chief said seriously: "A Sheng, I know how difficult it is for a Chinese to be a photographer in the United States. You must be better than most white people. They always think that we Chinese are not artistic." So settled down, she still went shopping in that supermarket, but never met them again.Until one time, the security guard of the supermarket stopped her. "Miss, please come to the security room." Mo Sheng was stunned for a moment, feeling that there was nothing good going on, there were too many reports in the newspapers about supermarket security guards forcibly searching people and even beating people. Mo Sheng stared at him cautiously, the security guard said helplessly: "Miss, I have no ill intentions towards you, I just wanted to ask you if you lost anything a month ago." She just returned to China a month ago, so she doesn't know what she lost?Curiously following him into the security room, the security handed her a black wallet. Mo Sheng didn't need to look inside to know it wasn't hers, she shook her head with a smile and said, "You made a mistake, it's not mine." The security guard was unexpectedly stubborn: "Open it and take a look." She took it and opened it, and saw her picture. The security guard said triumphantly: "Miss, this is your photo. Although it is very different from now, I still recognize it at a glance." The difference is huge, because it was an entrance photo taken when I first entered college.She still had her long hair tied into a ponytail, smiling silly. How could it appear in a strange wallet? Mo Sheng returned the wallet to the security guard: "This is indeed not mine." The security guard said stupidly, "Isn't the person in the photo you?" "It's me, but the wallet isn't mine." "But it must be someone who knows you, miss, maybe the owner of this wallet has a crush on you..." Hey, who said that Chinese people have no imagination? "But……" "You take it, take it, no one has come to claim it, and it is difficult for us to deal with it here, and it will be confiscated if you hand it in. It is better to give it to you. You must be related to the owner of the wallet. Ah! Maybe I will return it to you." It led to a beautiful marriage..." The security guard was immersed in his imagination like a TV series. A month ago, around the time she met He Yichen and He Yimei, could he have lost it?With such a ridiculous guess, Mo Sheng took the wallet back home. After taking a shower at night, I studied it carefully on the bed. The simple style, expensive brand, and not much cash made it impossible to determine the identity of the owner. As for that photo, Mo Sheng took it out carefully, there were traces of steel stamps on it, it must have been torn from some document.Turning it over unintentionally, she suddenly froze, there was a word on the back!She will never forget the handwriting that is so chic and sharp that it seems to be torn out of paper. It was Yi Chen's handwriting, written with a black pen—— my sunshine! Chapter 1 Reunion 3 Life in a complex city can also be very simple, work, eat and sleep, that's all.After a hectic period of adaptation, mind-numbing repetition follows. "Ah Sheng, I've been looking for you everywhere." As soon as Mo Sheng stepped into the magazine office, she heard someone shouting from afar. "Old Bai, what's the matter?" Lao Bai is actually very young. He is another photographer of the magazine. His surname is Li. Because he always speaks Bai, everyone jokingly calls him Lao Bai.He is very good at coaxing celebrities, so he is responsible for all the shooting of the characters on the cover of the magazine. "My wife is about to give birth, can I bother you about taking pictures of the big model Xiao tomorrow?" Xiao Xiao?Mo Sheng was a bit embarrassed, "I don't have any problems, but I heard that Xiao Xiao's temper is very strange, and he doesn't cooperate at all if he is not an acquaintance." Lao Bai also thought of this, thought for a while and said: "Well, you go and try it first, and if it really doesn't work, then call me." The next day, when Mo Sheng saw the glamorous and charming Xiao Xiao, she was completely stunned.She is not familiar with domestic celebrities, and has never seen a photo of Xiao Xiao before, so she doesn't know that she... actually looks so similar to her college friend. But her best friend is such a simple and clumsy rural girl, but the person in front of her has slender jade legs, and her smoking is skillful and charming... Mo Sheng didn't dare to recognize it, maybe it was just a similar person. But Model Xiao squinted at her, walked over gracefully, and stopped in front of her. "Why, you don't know me?" "... Shaomei?" "Oh!" She chuckled sarcastically, "It's not me." "A Sheng, you know Xiao Xiao? It's great." The colleague who came together said excitedly. "She was my top bunk when I was a freshman." "The bunk beds in the university are the best." Xiao Xiao's manager also came up and said. "Don't you want to take a picture? Hurry up!" Xiao Xiao became impatient. She has really changed a lot!While taking pictures, Mo Sheng thought, the person under the camera is no longer that clumsy and cute Shaomei, so who is she? Maybe no one.A good photographer can capture the soul of the person under the lens, but Mo Sheng can't capture Xiao Xiao's soul, maybe because of her lack of skill, or maybe there is no person under the lens at all. Xiao Xiao is very empty!A hopeless void, perhaps the very void that made her so red. After finishing a group, Xiao Xiao waved her hand. "Come here today." "But Xiao Xiao, there's still..." her manager said eagerly. "That's it." Xiao Xiao said without hesitation, and turned to Mo Sheng, "Let's go have a cup of coffee." "We should drink when we meet again after a long absence. Unfortunately, I have a stomach problem recently, so I have to drink coffee." "Uh, coffee is good, or you should drink some milk." Mo Sheng didn't know what to say, there were too many things she wanted to ask, but she didn't know where to start. "The body is more important, and there must be a measure for dieting." Mo Sheng said something rambling. "I never go on a diet." Xiao Xiao had a half-smile, "I drink too much." "Shaomei!" Mo Sheng was astonished by her self-loathing expression, and excitedly held her hand, how did she become like this? Xiao Xiao shook off her hand reflexively, Mo Sheng was taken aback, the atmosphere was awkward and silent. "You have changed a lot." After a while, Mo Sheng said harshly. "Yes, do you remember that I had a crush on someone when I was a freshman?" Xiao Xiao narrated her story indifferently, "One day I told him that I liked him, and he accepted, but he didn't love me, and then Shaomei I'm dead, I'm Xiao Xiao now." A few words, piercing through the heart.Mo Sheng's heart ached for a while, and she couldn't ask any more questions. After a while, Xiao Xiao said sarcastically: "You haven't changed much, you still look like a hypocrite. Why are you willing to come back from the glittering and shining America?" These words hurt Mo Sheng to some extent, but after thinking about it, it was her fault first.She left without saying a word back then, and there was no news for seven years, because she was sorry for their friendship. "At that time, I left too hastily..." "You don't need to tell me these things." Xiao Xiao interrupted her, "You should tell He Yichen these things." He Yichen?How could it involve him?Mo Sheng recalled that day when he and Yi Mei were both together, "I don't think he cares..." "Don't care? Do you think everyone is as ruthless and heartless as you?" Xiao Xiao's voice became agitated, "In the few days when you just disappeared, he was looking for you like crazy, and then he just spent all day looking for you. Waiting downstairs in the dormitory, but what did he wait for?" Xiao Xiao accused her coldly. "Several guys came and took all your stuff and told him to tell us you'd gone to America and probably never came back." Chapter 1 Reunion 4 "Mo Sheng, you are so ruthless." Xiao Xiao paused, and then said, "I will never forget his appearance at that time, as if he was hollowed out all of a sudden, desperate to the extreme, people can't bear to see him. Such an arrogant person would actually show such an expression..." Mo Sheng listened in a daze, did these things really happen? "Maybe he's guilty..." "Zhao Mosheng, you are the one who abandoned him and went to America, and you are the one who should feel guilty." "Shaomei, you don't understand..." "I have eyes to see." Mo Sheng stopped talking, did everyone think that she abandoned him?Obviously not! Obviously he was the one who said that... He said he didn't want to see her again, he said he would rather never know her, and he told her to go as far away as possible... Obviously it's him! Saying goodbye to Xiao Xiao, Mo Sheng walked on the street in early summer, Xiao Xiao's words still echoed in her mind. "He has been alone since then... He Yimei? Isn't she his sister?" They were not together, so why did she leave back then? Why did he say that? Spread your palms, and the address of "Yuan Xianghe Law Firm" is written on the piece of paper lying firmly in your palm. Xiao Xiao said, "Maybe you need it." She didn't come here on purpose, she was just passing by.But she was already standing in "Yuan Xianghe Law Firm" after all. The lady who received her smiled apologetically: "Lawyer He is not in the office, do you have an appointment?" Mo Sheng couldn't tell whether she was more lost or more relaxed: "No." "Then what's the matter for you? I can tell you, or..." The lady looked at the clock, "Wait here, lawyer He will be back soon." "Oh, no need, I'll come back next time." Mo Sheng took two steps and turned back, "This is Lawyer He's wallet, please pass it to him for me, thank you." This is the result. Has always been shallow edge, but since the Wife. "A Sheng, what's the difference between working abroad and working in China?" It was almost time to get off work, and the people in the magazine had no intention of working, so they suddenly asked while chatting. "Uh." Mo Sheng looked around, seeing that the boss was not there, "The salary is much higher." rare!Colleagues who couldn't eat grapes immediately vented their nostrils to express their disdain. "Have you ever been discriminated against over there?" "How much?" "Actually, it's nothing to be concerned about. Hong Kong people look down on mainlanders!" Dabao felt deeply after returning from Hong Kong. "When I really meet him, I will not be so open-minded. Once my boss said in front of all my colleagues that there are no real artists in China. I was very angry when I heard it. I have never really felt that I am Chinese. , Pointing to the old man’s nose on the spot and saying, what Chinese art do you know, you Americans don’t know where to hang out when we Chinese are playing art.” "It's so fierce! You have integrity!" The colleagues clapped their hands and praised her endlessly, and then they all asked her, "What excuse did you get fired later?" "..." Mo Sheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Although Lao Mei is arrogant, her size is still in direct proportion to her figure. Then one day the boss came to me with the Four Treasures of the Study that I don't know where to get, and asked me to write a few Chinese characters, saying He's going to hang it in the living room." "Wow, is it true or not?" "A Sheng, can you read your handwriting?" "Ha, I showed off Zheng Banqiao's unique skills. I first poured all the ink on the rice paper, and then pretended to fiddle with it for a long time, which made those Americans stupefied. But to be honest, if those words were not I wrote it myself and I have absolutely no idea what it is." "What did you write?" "You are a barbarian!" Chick!A colleague poured tea. Amid the haha, someone shouted from a distance: "A Sheng, someone is looking for you." Mo Sheng turned her head, and the little red mother-in-law who was known as the flower fairy—the nymphomaniac fairy came running, "In the reception room, what a handsome, indifferent, and tasteful man. And he looks like that kind of career A successful urban elite young talent, Ah Sheng, you fell in love with such a good guy just after returning to China, you really don't show your face." If you believe in Hua Fairy's words, pigs can fly in the sky. Generally speaking, her words need to be divided by two, and sometimes they can be multiplied by negative numbers. But Mo Sheng was very curious, she just returned to the country and didn't know anyone, who would come to her? Never thought it was him! The handsome man standing in front of the French windows with his back to her in the reception room turned out to be He Yichen.Hearing the sound of the door opening, he turned his head and stared at her coldly, without any fluctuation in his expression. Hua Xianzi was not exaggerating at all. He was indeed handsome and imposing. The well-tailored suit set off his tall and straight figure. He was as confident and composed as before, but with a little more domineering momentum. She was completely speechless. And he nodded calmly and calmly. "Miss Zhao." Miss Zhao? Mo Sheng really wanted to laugh, but the difficulty was too high. "Mr. Ho." Comparing chairs from a distance, Mo Sheng said: "Please sit down." Chapter 1 Reunion 5 She took out the tea and lowered her head to hide her expression. She couldn't be as indifferent as him, so she could only hide her excitement, "What do you want to drink?" "Thank you, no need." His eyes were stern, "I'll leave after a few words." "Oh, you came to see me... how do you know I'm here?" He paused for five seconds before speaking: "Xiao Xiao. I am her lawyer." "Is there a problem?" His tone was chilling: "When Ms. Zhao came to the office three days ago, she said that she would come again, but she didn't see you for a long time, so I had no choice but to come and visit in person." Startled, Mo Sheng raised her head to meet his burning eyes. "How do you know..." She didn't leave her name, how did he know that it was her who returned the wallet? "Miss Zhao, I happen to have the reasoning ability of a normal person." He said mockingly. Maybe all lawyers have this kind of "reasoning ability of normal people", Mo Sheng stared at the wall: "I'm going to return the wallet, since you have already got it, you don't need to make another trip." He Yichen's eyes flashed. "Apart from returning the wallet, do you have anything else to do?" Is there anything else she can do?Mo Sheng was stunned: "Not anymore." "Very good." There seemed to be a trace of disappointment in his eyes, and he moved in front of her, "But I have something to do." He took out the black wallet and put it in front of her eyes: "There is a photo in it, does Miss Zhao know where it is?" Of course she knew, Mo Sheng lowered her head: "Is there? I didn't pay attention." "Oh? There's nothing in the wallet except money. How does Ms. Zhao know that the wallet is mine?" Mo Sheng was speechless.I almost forgot that he was a lawyer, and he was good at finding all the loopholes in the other party's words. If you want to deceive him, you have to weigh yourself first. He bowed: "Miss Zhao, can you return the photo to me?" Mo Sheng suddenly felt baffled.what does he mean?While posing like "you are a stranger", he begged for her photo. "The person in the photo is me, why should I give it to you?" "Miss Zhao, I advise you not to discuss the ownership of items with a lawyer." Yi Chen said coldly. Mo Sheng was discouraged, she was not familiar with this kind of Yi Chen and couldn't deal with it. "The photo is not here." "Give it to me tomorrow." "Tomorrow I have..." "Miss Zhao!" He Yichen interrupted her, "I don't think we want to have too much entanglement with each other, why don't we die early and be reborn early." Early death and early rebirth? Mo Sheng was silent for a while: "What do you want that photo for?" "Who knows." Yi Chen's eyes darkened, "Maybe I want to keep it by my side to remind me of that stupid past." Stupid...yes, how stupid!She would have expected something. He Yichen made a decision on his own: "I will pick it up tomorrow. If you are not free, you can ask someone else to pass it on to you. Goodbye, Miss Zhao." He walked away, and just as he was holding the doorknob, he heard Mo Sheng whisper behind him: "Wait... I will send it over tomorrow." "Okay." Yi Chen turned his head expressionlessly, "Thank you for your cooperation, see you tomorrow." Mo Sheng stared blankly at his tall back and left.It's not that I never thought about what it would be like when they meet again one day, but I never thought that they would not even have the affection to say "Long time no see". Stupid past? Mo Sheng stood in front of the mirror in the bedroom, looking at the woman in the mirror who was looking at her. If the short hair becomes longer and tied into a ponytail, if the tanned skin becomes fairer, if you can still smile brightly without any scruples... most importantly, if the depression in the eyes over the past seven years is reduced, Filled with flamboyant innocence—then, she becomes Zhao Mosheng who just met He Yichen when she first went to college. "He Yichen, He Yichen..." "He Yichen, He Yichen..." She didn't quite know how Yi Chen got entangled with her, and Yi Chen was even more baffled, anyway, she was chasing him back then.Until one time he couldn't take it anymore, and asked with a straight face: "Zhao Mosheng, why do you always follow me?" In the current situation, she would probably be so ashamed!However, she was so shameless at that time, she opened her eyes and asked: "Yi Chen, is it you or I? Hey, you are so smart, I must be stupid. Why did I fail? Know what I'm doing!" I still remember that Yi Chen was stunned and couldn't speak for a long time.Later, when he mentioned this incident, he once said with a smile and angrily that he originally wanted to make her feel ashamed with a questioning tone, but who would have expected that there would be such a thick-skinned little girl in this world, and she would make him a soldier instead. Chapter 1 Reunion 6 So after a long time to react, the talented law student could only stammer and say, "I'm not going to find a girlfriend in college." At that time, she was so innocent that she couldn't even hear an excuse, so she asked vigorously: "Then I will wait in line first, and when you graduate from university, can I have the right to be admitted first?" Facing an opponent who doesn't speak well, the eloquent best debater suddenly lost his eloquence, and fled after saying "There is a lesson". Of course she wasn't discouraged, but before she thought of a better way, she heard someone in the school spreading the word: He Yichen from the law department heard that he has a girlfriend, and his name is Zhao Mosheng, which is quite a mouthful. When she heard that, she almost ran to the self-study classroom to find Yi Chen, and hurriedly clarified: "I didn't spread the rumor, you have to believe me." Yi Chen raised his head from the book, and said with clear eyes, "I know." She asked stupidly: "How do you know?" Yi Chen answered calmly: "Because I passed it on." This time, she was finally dumbfounded, and beside her ear he was calmly analyzing: "I have thought about it, if you are destined to be my girlfriend in three years, why don't I exercise my rights earlier." Ah!At that time! The corners of the mouth of the person in the mirror curled up slightly, but the smile had already subsided before it reached his eyes. I walked to the balcony in a daze, and saw that the moon was bright and the stars were thin, tomorrow should be a fine day.
