together for a long time

Chapter 78 Palpitations

The rain was getting heavier and heavier. When Jian Yan came out of the bathroom, she heard the sound of rain water hitting the window sill, like rain falling on a plate, tinkling. She went to the window and opened the curtain. It was dark outside, only the rain hit the glass in front of her. Broken into splashes.

The scene in front of me is very similar to that at Ji's house. At that time, every time it rained, she would sit on the bay window with her knees hugged. The rain outside the window was only a glass away from her, but it couldn't seep in. She always sat on the bay window There was an inexplicable sense of security, much like the feeling Ji Yunxin gave her.

At that time, Ji Yunxin would always pass by her room when going downstairs, or occasionally come in to see what she was doing, or occasionally sit with her for a while, and on rainy days she would tilt her head to look out the window, and Ji Yunxin would hand her a thin Blanket signaled her to cover her so she wouldn't freeze. At that time, she was kind to herself only because she was kind to Ji's family. She just thought she was very pitiful and had nothing to do with love, but she would make a mistake and treat Ji Yunxin as the only straw to cling to go up.

Jian Yan crossed her arms, her eyes were heavy, her shoulders suddenly felt heavy, she tilted her head, a brown blanket was draped over her body, and there was Ji Yunxin standing behind her.

"Look at what?"

As in the past, Jian Yan was in a trance for a moment, and Ji Yunxin in front of her was wearing home clothes and her long hair was tied behind her head with a leather cord, revealing her exquisite facial features. After so many years, her slightly immature face has long since grown. Showing her sharpness, it only takes one look to make people speechless, the reality overlaps with the past, Jian Yan's hand hanging by her side moved, she lowered her head and lowered her eyes: "It's raining heavily outside."

Ji Yunxin heard the words and could see that there was only a faint yellow light from the street lamps outside. Under the lights, the rain was thick, so she nodded: "Do you want something to eat tonight?"

Jian Yan shook her head: "I won't eat." She gathered the blanket together: "I'm going back to the room first."

Ji Yunxin watched her leave the living room and go back to the room, the door was gently closed, she looked away, the computer on the coffee table was still on, she walked over and sat on the sofa, put the computer on her lap and clicked on the video, an advertisement immediately appeared When she came out, Jian Yan stood on the red carpet in a red evening dress, like the brightest lamp, emitting dazzling light. Every movement, every smile, and every turn of her was designed and perfect.Ji Yunxin's eyes staring at the video seemed to be shattered into flames, red and shining. She rested her chin on one hand and watched this video over and over again.

The light in the living room was always on, and Jian Yan could still see a glimmer of light from under the crack of the door when she turned over. There was a gap in the memory in her bones and it popped up unscrupulously. She didn't like this feeling, so Jian Yan turned her back to the door and stared out the window.

The tree branches outside the window were blown to one side, and the branches knocked on the glass to make a screeching sound. With the sound of crackling rain, it was very easy to fall asleep.

The night was getting darker, the rain was getting denser, and lightning and thunder could be heard from time to time. Ji Yunxin turned off the computer after processing the last document, and she turned to look out the window. Just then, a flash of lightning lit up, the sky changed color, and then there was a clap of thunder!Jian Yan, who was separated by a door, opened her eyes when she heard the sound, her face was pale with panic, and she quietly turned her head to look at the window after hearing the sound of thunder.

The light-colored curtains were tightly closed, the thunder faded away, only the roar of rain was left, she breathed lightly, and just about to fall asleep, a flash of lightning lit up, just shone on the window, reflecting a figure!

The lightning flashed away, and the darkness outside the window returned, but Jian Yan sat up from the bed, just now—was it a figure?Or tree shadow?Was she blindsided?Jian Yan turned on the bedside lamp suspiciously, and the light and shadow outside the window were mottled. Standing by the curtain, her heartbeat was beating slightly, and her palms were sweating. The branches were blown against the floor-to-ceiling windows and swayed with the wind. Jian Yan took a deep breath and shook her head. When she was about to close the curtains, she saw a dark shadow under the tree not far away. She frowned and went back to the bed and took the phone. Before turning on the searchlight, a flash of lightning lit up, and the black figure also turned his head and smiled at her.

"what--"

As soon as Ji Yunxin came out of the bathroom, she heard screams. She looked sideways, and the door next to her was suddenly opened, and a person rushed out from inside!After seeing her, the man trembled and said, "Outside, outside..."

Seeing that her face was pale and her voice was unsteady, Ji Yunxin frowned: "What's going on outside?"

Maybe it was because of seeing Ji Yunxin, Jian Yan's beating heart finally stabilized a bit, she swallowed her saliva and said in a tense voice: "There are people outside."

One sentence made Ji Yunxin's face change slightly, and she looked in the direction Jian Yan pointed: "Is there someone?"

Jian Yan nodded again and again, her hair swaying slightly with her movements, she is now in a tense state, Ji Yunxin was just about to go to her room but was grabbed by the wrist, Jian Yan whispered: "Don't go."

That smile just now was like a nightmare, she still feels a little bit scared when she thinks about it now, Ji Yunxin saw that she was nervous and did not go any further but walked with her to the sofa: "Who is it, did you see it clearly?"

Jian Yan said without hesitation: "It's a man."

"A man?" Ji Yunxin continued, "Where did you see it?"

Jian Yan turned to look at her room: "Outside under the tree."

"Did you see his face?"

Jian Yan thought for a few seconds: "See a little."

"Is it a staff member?"

After some questioning, Jian Yan was no longer so nervous, she shook her head and said in affirmation: "No."

If it was a staff member, it would be impossible to appear here in the middle of the night. She saw a figure lying on the floor-to-ceiling window before the lightning, it should be him, and that weird smile. , patted her on the back lightly: "Stop talking, it's okay, I know everything, don't be afraid."

Jian Yan smelled the familiar fragrance and her mood gradually stabilized. She noticed that Ji Yunxin was patting her back with gentle movements, but she didn't say a word. Ji Yunxin said, "I'll call Ji Han."

Half an hour later, Ji Han came over with a few staff members. They were still covered with moisture and rain when they came in from the outside. Ji Han asked when they met, "What's going on? What man?"

Ji Yunxin recounted what Jian Yan saw just now and said: "Don't disturb other people, Ji Han, call the person in charge of the resort and ask them to call out the video."

Ji Han nodded again and again: "Okay."

She immediately called the person in charge. The person on the other end was still in a daze. She gritted her teeth and said a few words. The person in charge immediately woke up. He quickly got dressed and went to the monitoring room. The door opened and the person in charge walked in and asked them to call out the video of Jian Yan's apartment, and asked them if they found anyone behaving abnormally. The two officers on duty looked at each other in a daze and shook their heads: "No."

The video was quickly tuned up, and there was no man in black in it. The two staff on duty asked, "What's going on?"

The person in charge shook his head: "I'll go and have a look."

He opened his umbrella and ran towards Jian Yan's apartment. When he reached the door, he could still hear the people inside whispering. He closed the umbrella and went in and shouted, "Director Ji."

Ji Han looked over: "Mr. Zhang, is there a video?"

The person in charge nodded: "Yes, but..."

But no one was recorded, he handed the video to Ji Han and said, "Look."

Ji Han took his mobile phone, looked at it a few times and handed it to Ji Yunxin. The person in charge said, "Miss Jian, is it possible that you were blinded and misread?"

Jian Yan was looking down at the video in Ji Yunxin's hand, there was indeed no one in it from beginning to end, she frowned, could it be that she had read it wrong?Impossible, she clearly remembered that the man smiled at her, Jian Yanxiu frowned and shook her head, Ji Yunxin returned the phone to the person in charge and said, "Let's go in and have a look."

She said and walked into Jian Yan's room, this time Jian Yan didn't hold her but followed her, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, Jian Yan whispered: "That's it."

She pointed to an evergreen tree, and Ji Yunxin turned her head to the person in charge and said, "There was no such area in the video just now?"

The person in charge nodded. There are floor-to-ceiling windows near here. In order to protect the privacy of customers, they did not install cameras here, but there are cameras nearby. If someone wants to come to the floor-to-ceiling windows, they will definitely be photographed. The person in charge explained it and said : "But there is no one in the video, so Ms. Jian, could it be that you saw it wrong?"

Jian Yan was silent for a while when she heard him say that, Ji Yunxin looked sideways, and said clearly: "If it's not because of a wrong reading?"

The person in charge seemed puzzled, he scratched his head: "President Ji?"

Ji Yunxin stared at the evergreen tree in front of him and said: "If this person knows your surveillance area very well, can he avoid the surveillance and walk in the blind spot?"

As soon as this sentence came out, everyone's expressions changed, especially the person in charge, his face was pale. If this is really the case, then there will be big troubles!He wanted to shake his head for a few seconds: "President Ji, this is impossible, the security of our resort is very famous."

Ji Yunxin raised her eyes and said, "So?"

"So——" So it's impossible for such a thing to happen, but he couldn't say it out. Ji Yunxin's momentum was too oppressive, almost crushing her, and the person in charge gulped at her with stern eyes: "So, let's go here first. Border area search, what do you think?"

Ji Yunxin looked at him intently, nodded, and the person in charge breathed a sigh of relief.

The security of the resort was divided into two groups. Ji Han also asked the staff of the program team to help and formed three search teams. They could not disturb other guests and started searching along the swimming pool near the apartment. It was still raining outside. Ji Han sat Beside the sofa, she said to Jian Yan: "It's okay, sister Jian Yan, don't worry."

Jian Yan nodded comfortingly when she heard her, she habitually looked at Ji Yunxin and found that she was looking at herself, Ji Yunxin smiled at her and said softly: "It's okay, don't be afraid."

A familiar sense of security suddenly grew in her heart, and Jian Yan retracted her gaze after knowing it.

Everyone searched the neighborhood for two or three hours, and walked around the resort, not to mention individuals, but they didn't see a single animal. Someone in the team said, "Who is there? I didn't see it in the surveillance. , could it have come out of nowhere?"

"I said that each of these artists has persecution paranoia, and they are suspicious all day long."

"Could it be paparazzi?"

"Fuck paparazzi, which paparazzi can fly into the sky and escape from the ground?"

The person in charge heard them chatting with a gloomy face. At three o'clock in the morning, they searched for the fourth time to no avail. They met up with the program team near the canteen of the resort. Neither party saw anyone. The person in charge said, "Go back."

Everyone followed her to Jian Yan's apartment. The person in charge knocked on the door and explained, "There is indeed no one. We searched it several times. If you don't believe me, you can ask Mr. Lin."

Lin Mu led the program team to search. He nodded to Shang Ji Yunxin's probing gaze, and said in a low voice, "Yes."

Although he believed Jian Yan's words and knew that she would not just talk, but they searched three or four times and found no one. Ji Yunxin pursed her lips, and Ji Han stood behind her and said, "Sister, why don't you check tomorrow? Let's go back to rest first tonight?"

Ji Yunxin turned her head to look at Jian Yan, seeing her nodding slightly, she said: "Okay, I'll check tomorrow."

The person in charge bent his body: "Mr. Ji, don't worry, I will let the security guard pay more attention to this side."

Ji Yunxin said lightly: "Please trouble Mr. Zhang."

The person in charge agreed and left with the others, Ji Yunxin said to Ji Han: "You guys go back and rest too."

Ji Han turned to Jian Yan and said, "Sister Jian Yan, let's check tomorrow."

Jian Yan looked at her and said softly, "Yes."

After Ji Han left, the whole apartment became quiet again. Occasionally, a security guard walked by outside the window. Ji Yunxin said to Jian Yan: "Are you tired, go back to the house first..." She was silent for a few seconds and said: "You go to my room to rest Bar."

Jian Yan refused: "No, I'll just rest in the living room."

The heating in the living room was fully turned on, but it wasn't cold, Jian Yan said while sitting on the sofa and Ji Yunxin pulled her wrist: "You must have a backache tomorrow when you sleep on the sofa."

Jian Yan was dragged into the room by her. The layout of the room was similar to hers, and the bed was placed in the same position. She was dragged by Ji Yunxin to sit by the bed, and Ji Yunxin said: "Just sleep here."

It's already past three o'clock in the morning, and it will be dawn in two or three hours, so there's no need to argue about where to sleep. Ji Yunxin didn't sleep in the middle of the night, and there were dark circles under her eyes, and she was obviously tired. Jian Yan looked at her for a few seconds: "Then where do you sleep?"

Ji Yunxin said: "I still have some work to do, you can rest, I'm in the living room."

After she finished speaking, she added: "If you are afraid, I can stay here with you."

Jian Yan looked up at her, and finally said: "I'm fine, I don't need anyone to accompany me."

Ji Yunxin looked as usual: "Then I'll be in the living room, call me if you need something."

"it is good."

With the terror in the middle of the night and the hecticness in the second half of the night, Jian Yan actually didn't feel sleepy anymore. She lay sideways on the bed, with a familiar scent on the tip of her nose. She buried herself in the pillow and took a deep breath, her eyes were slightly red.

The door was not closed, Jian Yan turned around and could see Ji Yunxin sitting on the sofa and typing on the computer, just like the posture she imagined she was working at, serious, focused, and meticulous, she felt sleepy as she watched, and just closed her eyes Nuo Hao flashed a smiling face, and Jian Yan sat up from the bed with a jerk!

"What's wrong?" A voice came from the door, and Jian Yan's forehead was sweating, she pressed her temples and said, "I'm thinking of that person again."

Ji Yunxin heard that she turned back to the living room for a few seconds, and after a while she walked to the desk next to the bed and sat down with her computer in her arms. Her computer screen flickered with waves, and Ji Yunxin tapped the keyboard twice and said to Jian Yan: "Sleep, I will Right here."

Jian Yan's lips squirmed, and she didn't say anything in the end. Her eye circles were still red. After the divorce, she really never thought that one day she would be able to sleep in Ji Yunxin's room, on her bed, and even look up. The way she was working, those dream scenes overlapped with reality, her chest was swollen, stuffy, uncomfortable and a little sore, she blinked to erase the discomfort in her heart.

The whole room was very quiet, except for the crisp sound of Ji Yunxin typing on the keyboard. Seeing that Jian Yan was still awake after working for half an hour, she opened her eyes and asked, "Can't sleep?"

Jian Yan tilted her head, her eyes were much calmer, the warm yellow light hit her side face softly, she asked, "Have you always worked so much?"

This is the first time she asked her about her work after her divorce. When she got married, she would often send a message asking if she was off work, if she was done with work, and when we met occasionally, she would be happy to congratulate her, congratulations to her for opening a branch office, Congratulations to her for winning the new project, and congratulations to her for expanding the company. At that time, she seldom responded, mostly nodding, or lightly agreeing. Over time, Jian Yan stopped asking about her work and cared about her body instead. , now inexplicably heard her talking about work again, a gap was knocked open in the tip of Ji Yunxin's heart, and a warm current flowed in. With her heart beating together, she looked at the computer and said, "It's much less now, Dad. The company helped, more than before.”

She is like the most obedient student in school, she answers whatever the teacher asks, and even looks at the teacher expectantly after answering, hoping that she can ask more.

Jian Yan nodded when she heard the words: "I remember that you often travel on business."

Not only often, at that time Ji Yunxin didn't come back to the company once in two or three months, so busy that she couldn't see anyone, Ji Yunxin turned to look at her, Jian Yan was lying on her side, with her hands under her cheeks, and the light fell on her side face , calm and gentle, with a fair forehead, full brow bones, delicate nose tip, lightly parted lips, bright teeth and vermilion lips, she looked at Jian Yan and said, "It won't happen in the future."

Jian Yan curled up under the quilt, Ji Yunxin looked at her, and said in a low voice: "I won't be traveling frequently in the future."

"Yeah." Responding to the words, Jian Yan withdrew her hand, covered her chin with the quilt, her entire pretty face was exposed, and she was extremely delicate, Ji Yunxin glanced at the data on the computer and said, "Don't want to sleep yet? "

Jian Yan frowned a little irritably, she turned over, and heard Ji Yunxin asking in her ear: "Do you need me to tell you a story?"

Thinking of the stories she told before, Jian Yan's irritability inexplicably faded away, and her voice came from under the quilt: "Are you going to make up again?"

Ji Yunxin smiled lightly, she turned the chair to face the bed, and she could see the back of Jian Yan's head when she lowered her head, she said, "Why don't you order?"

The corners of Jian Yan's mouth raised slightly when she heard this. Ji Yunxin read stories very fast, and often finished one book in one night, which caused the storybooks to be unable to keep up. So later, Ji Yunxin read whatever stories she wanted. At that time, she often found some stories about secret love and happy ending for her to read, hoping that she could understand her own feelings from these stories, but she didn't realize it at all. On the day Ji Yunxin went abroad, she cried out of breath in the room , but refused to go out. When Ji Yunxin came to say goodbye to her, she didn't want her to go, so she kept holding her, but Ji Yunxin couldn't let her hold her. She was crying and said that no one would read stories to her again. Ji Yunxin looked at her watch and said to her, "I still have 10 minutes to go downstairs, you can write a story, I'll leave after reading."

At that time, Jian Yan was laughed angrily by Ji Yunxin, and her thoughts came back, and when she heard this sentence, Jian Yan's eyes turned red and said: "I don't want to order it, and I don't want to listen to it."

Ji Yunxin didn't force it, her eyes fell on the person huddled under the quilt, her expression was gentle: "Then let's talk about it next time."

Jian Yan didn't answer, and the whole room became quiet again. Ji Yunxin put her hands on her chest, staring at Jian Yan for a moment, and she didn't turn her head until the beep sound came from the computer.

The crisp sound of typing on the keyboard resounded in the room, and the time passed by every minute and every second. Ji Yunxin looked at the time on the bottom right of the computer. At four o'clock, she turned her head to look at Jian Yan, and she should have fallen asleep.

Ji Yunxin got up and went to the bathroom. When she walked to Jianyan's room next door, she took a look in. The curtains were still closed, and the whole room was pitch black. She closed the door and walked into the bathroom.

After coming out of the bathroom, Ji Yunxin returned to the room. She turned on the lamp on the work table and turned off the headlights in the room. The whole room suddenly became dark. She walked slowly to Jian Yan's sleeping side and lowered her body. Jian Yan was closing her eyes. Resting, breathing softly, looking calm, with some broken hair sticking to her cheeks, Ji Yunxin squatted down, and pushed Jian Yan's broken hair behind her ears with her hands, revealing a delicate and beautiful side face, and a faint fragrance. It is a soft color, and even the breathing is lightened.

Jian Yan turned over, her right arm was exposed, Ji Yunxin put her arm under the quilt, half of the quilt was lifted, her eyes fell on Jian Yan's lower abdomen inadvertently, Jian Yan was wearing loose cotton pajamas, she couldn't tell when standing , Lying like this, it seems that a little bulge can be seen, Ji Yunxin's eyes are frozen, it is difficult to move away, her heart beats twice fast, her hand is stretched above Jian Yan's lower abdomen, and when her fingertips touch her cotton pajamas, she curls up again, She didn't fall, and repeated this twice, she put down the quilt and stood up.

It was just after four o'clock, and it was still dark outside the window. Ji Yunxin opened the curtains a little, and the street lights outside were still dim, and the rainwater hit the window sill densely, making a crisp sound. She frowned and went to the bedside and pressed on the bedside lamp. There was no response after repeated two times. She quickly turned her head and looked out of the window. Through the gap in the curtain she could see the faint light of the street lamp outside. She looked at two Eyes, face down.

In Jian Yan's sleep, she felt that someone was pressing her down. She wanted to move her body a little uncomfortable, but she couldn't. She seemed to be hugged by someone, and she couldn't move. She woke up suddenly. There was darkness in front of her eyes. Sweat broke out, but a familiar scent rushed into the tip of her nose. It was Ji Yunxin. Jian Yan's body was not so tense, but her voice was still trembling slightly. She called, "Ji..."

Before she finished speaking, her mouth was covered by someone, and Ji Yunxin's voice rang in her ears: "Shut up, there are people outside."
