Seventeen-year-old rainy season, at eighteen years old, became a nightmare for one person.

  At the best of times between Ye Zenan and Song Yuqiao, someone once asked Song Yuqiao: What if Ye Zenan doesn't like you one day?

  Song Yuqiao still remembered her own answer, she said resolutely: "No!"

  This assumption had never existed in Song Yuqiao's mind, she thought that if Ye Zenan liked her, it wouldn't change, and Ye Zenan wouldn't betray her.

  However, this hypothesis was overturned, starting with the breakdown of Song Yuqiao's parents' marriage.

  The parents who were once deeply in love suddenly became strangers overnight. Song Yuqiao remembered that she had once said to Ye Zenan, "I must be like my dad and mom, loving each other until we grow old together."

  Perhaps it was just a casual remark that sealed his fate.

  Years later, Song Yuqiao and Ye Zenan still ended up on the road of marriage and divorce.

  The original model couple, unexpectedly became strangers overnight and headed for divorce. Song Yuqiao cried for two days, not only for her parents' marriage but also for the collapse of her own faith.

  Ye Zenan comforted Song Yuqiao for a long time about her parents' divorce, and every time Song Yuqiao cried, Ye Zenan would say something beside her. Then he handed over the tissue and wiped away the tears on her face.

  Song Yu looked at Ye Zhenan with tears in her eyes and asked: "You will always be by my side, right?"

  Ye Zenan nodded, "Of course, you are my Song Yuqiao."

  Song Yuqiao nodded heavily, "Uh-huh."

  However, between Song Yuqiao and Ye Zenan, it ultimately still came down to a third person getting in the way.

  Song Yuqiao was on her own bed, when she saw Ye Zenan and Lu Lujun rolling together, she directly threw the key in her hand and ran out, covering her mouth. She ran all the way out of the big yard.

  On the road, she also bumped into Xu Wanli.

  The two collided, and Song Yuqiao had a strong momentum and inertia, directly knocking Xu Wenyi to the ground.

  Xu Wanli looked at Song Yuqiao's eyes that were red from crying, and swallowed back the words that had reached her lips.

  Anyway, Song Yuqiao has already caught her cheating boyfriend and best friend, it's already miserable enough for her, she doesn't care about saying anything else to her, just let Song Yuqiao self-destruct on her own.

  Song Yuqiao passed by Xu Wanli's side and rushed out of the courtyard, running along the main road, running all the way...

  I don't know how far I ran, but I leaned against a tree and started retching, with tears and snot all over my face. And there was stomach acid coming up from my empty stomach.

  Passersby nearby cast sideways glances, but no one came up to ask a question.

  It's just a fleeting encounter, others really have no obligation to help you.

  Song Yuqiao ran tiredly and then squatted down by a tree, hugging her own legs and crying...

  She really never thought that one day her boyfriend and best friend would get together and collectively betray her, so what would she do?

  It's as if the sky has collapsed, a dull haze, and all colors have disappeared between heaven and earth.

  Song Yuqiao did not return home that night, she was really scared, and when she returned home, she saw the messy bed, and then she could recall that kind of heart-pounding pain.

  However, Song Yuqiao didn't tell anyone about what had happened. She wandered around outside for the whole night, her phone ringing repeatedly in her backpack, but she didn't answer it until the battery ran out and it automatically shut down.

  The next morning, Song Yuqiao returned home with a pale face.

  Mrs. Song asked, and Song Yuqiao shook her head directly, saying nothing, with a smile at the corner of her mouth: "No, grandma, don't think wildly."

  In the following days, Song Yuqiao was completely normal and looked even more cheerful, which made Xu Wenli feel a bit surprised.

  Obviously you've seen everything there is to see, so why are you still acting like nothing's wrong?

  Xu Wanli also asked her twice in a roundabout way: "And what about Ye Zenan? Why haven't we seen him around lately?"

  Song Yuqiao lowered his head and fiddled with a potted plant, "Busy, he needs to go to the company for an internship now, and there are also school exams."

  Xu Wanli asked again: "Not calling for a few days and you didn't even go ask?"

  Song Yuqiao suddenly raised his head, his eyes already cold: "How do you know I didn't make a phone call? When did our relationship become any of your business?"

  Xu Wanli hummed and muttered: "Ungrateful."

  However, Xu Wenli was right. In the past few days, Ye Zenan didn't call Song Yuqiao at all, and only called her phone repeatedly until it ran out of battery after they bumped into each other that day.

  Have you given up?

  Song Yuqiao didn't know that her heart was now aching beyond endurance, yet she kept smiling at the people around her. She thought to herself, as long as she could still smile, then her heart would still feel a little better.

  Until one day, Song Yuqiao packed her bags and was about to leave. She said she was going abroad to find her mother, but no one asked much about it because in the Song family, a Song Shuying had already left, so only one Song Yuqiao was left, and except for Old Lady Song, no one else cared about her coming or going.

  Stay at Song's house, which means giving her an extra room to live in. If you leave, no one will ask you any questions either.

  Song Yuqiao sent his flight number to Ye Zenan before he left.

  "Want to see me off?"

  When leaving the Song's mansion, Song Yuqiao only bid farewell to Old Lady Song, who was now the only relative in the Song family that she still acknowledged.

  Mrs. Song knew that Song Yuqiao was going abroad, so she directly transferred the money to his account. "Anyway, after the college entrance exam is over, go out and relax, go find your mom, I'll persuade your dad here, don't hold a grudge against him, he's just temporarily blinded."

  Song Yuqiao actually wanted to ask a question at the time, if Song Hui was temporarily blinded by both eyes, what about Ye Zenan? Was he also blinded by both eyes?

  Song Yuqiao got out of the taxi and took a last look at the grand Song family mansion behind her.

  This is where she spent her childhood and youth, and has lived until now. Now that she's leaving, she inexplicably feels a sense of reluctance to part with it.

  However, life must be traveled on many roads. Being confined to one place will inevitably lead to a narrow perspective. One must go out and see the wider world.

  All the way, Song Yuqiao was waiting for Ye Zenan's reply, but there wasn't one, until they arrived at the airport, until it was time to go through security checks.

  At this moment, Song Yuqiao's heart was really as dead as ashes.

  She looked up at the sky, still a faint azure, like a piece of transparent crystal glass. However, the birds in the sky had flown away, where were you left with any trace?

  She turned her head back three times before boarding, and searched for that figure in the crowd, but unfortunately, there wasn't.

  Turn off your phone when you board the plane.

  Song Yuqiao pried out the SIM card from his mobile phone and threw it directly into the trash can.

  She glanced out the window at the clouds within reach, then lowered the shade and closed her eyes. Tears fell from her eyelids onto the back of her hand.

  Goodbye.

  In fact, Song Yuqiao and Ye Zenan can only blame their shallow fate and misfortune.

  Ye Zenan called Song Yuqiao more than a dozen times that night, but Song Yuqiao didn't answer any of them until her phone automatically shut down. Meanwhile, Ye Zenan's phone was unexpectedly stolen by someone on the road.

  He also had some setbacks after being drugged and sleeping with Lu Lu, especially in the first two days. He didn't contact Song Yuqiao because he was afraid of not being able to explain clearly and making things more confusing, so he had to find Lu Lu.

  After all, he is Song Yuqiao's boyfriend, and Lu Lu is Song Yuqiao's best friend. Now that he has gone to explain things by himself, it can't be helped that the explanation isn't clear.

  If such a seemingly collaborative betrayal were placed on Ye Zenan's body, he would also find it unbearable, let alone Song Yuqiao.

  Ye Zenan thought too much and didn't make a prompt decision, so he missed the last opportunity.

  However, Lu Lü disappeared that day. Ye Zhenan had someone look for her for two days, but no matter whether it was the house she used to rent or the university she was admitted to, there was no sign of Lu Lü, as if she had vanished into thin air.

  Ye Zenan didn't realize his phone was lost until then, so he went to the business hall to apply for a new phone card.

  Unfortunately, the phone card was only topped up after Song Yuqiao sent that flight information, so all previous messages were cleared or never received.

  It wasn't until later that he realized Song Yuqiao had disappeared, and then he began to search the entire city of S frantically.

  It's already settled.

  Just like Song Yuqiao thought when she was dragging her luggage and boarding the plane, the birds in the sky have flown away, but where are you leaving your mark?

  Actually, Ye Zenan and Song Yuqiao were destined to be together in terms of emotional connection, but not in terms of fate. Between the ages of 17 and Song Yuqiao's 24 years old, they missed each other by a hair's breadth many times.

  When he wants her, she is not there.

  But when she came back, he didn't cherish her.

  Either a little late or a little early.

  Ye Zenan finally learned to be tolerant in the few years he knew Song Yuqiao, but at the moment he signed the divorce agreement, this tolerance was no longer used on Song Yuqiao.

  But Song Yuqiao learned strength from Ye Zenan, and the result of being strong was that she no longer needed his broad shoulders.

  However, youth is inevitably filled with more or less regret. What we need to do is just look forward and go further to meet more people.

  Later, Hua Zhen asked a hypothetical question to Song Yuqiao: If in the past, Ye Zenan hadn't been drugged and taken advantage of by Lu Lujing, and you had smoothly sailed through life with Ye Zenan until now, would you regret it?

  Song Yuqiao said: "I won't regret it, but I will miss it."

  "What's regretful?"

  Song Yuqiao slightly raised the corner of her lips: "Regrettably... I didn't meet Pei Si Cheng."

  ………………

  The day Song Yuqiao arrived in Vancouver was near dusk, the sky was a bit dark, with fine rain floating around.

  Song Yuqiao had found Ximei Yu to sign before, but she said that she would come over when she had the chance, and did not say it was now. She originally wanted to come quietly by herself, and only contacted her mother when she really couldn't handle it.

  Her English is actually not very good, in high school, there were foreign teacher classes, generally they could use the simplest language to say a few sentences, and could understand when listening, but imagining and actually doing it are still quite different.

  Arriving in a completely unfamiliar environment, Song Yuqiao was completely panicked, and her mind went blank.

  Because she lost her mobile phone card, she forgot her mother's phone number again. She had to find a computer, log in to QQ on the computer, and send a message to her mother asking her to come pick her up.

  The weather is gloomy, the rain seems to be getting heavier and heavier. People on the road are in a hurry, many have already opened their umbrellas or put on raincoats.

  Song Yuqiao wanted to find a place to avoid the rain first, and since he was a bit hungry, he first bought a piece of cake in a very small dessert shop.

  The cash I have on me is not much, so I still need to find a bank to exchange the RMB in my account for Canadian dollars.

  In the small shop, Song Yuqiao sat beside the only table, gazing at the scenery outside the window.

  The rain and fog are hazy, the streetlights on the roadside have already lit up, a thin layer of water has accumulated on the ground, reflecting the neon lights flashing on both sides of the road. In the middle of the road, a double-decker sightseeing bus slowly passes by.

  This quiet feeling made Song Yuqiao a bit drowsy.

  She propped up her chin, tilted her head to look out of the window, and thought in her mind, how can I get in touch with my mother now?

  Suddenly, the glass door in front of me opened a crack, and the wind chime hanging on the door frame rang out with a clear and pleasant sound.

  Song Yuqiao heard the sound and looked over, it was a man wearing a black windbreaker, black windbreaker, black hair, Song Yuqiao could only see his profile, deep and handsome, under the soft light of the cake shop's ceiling, the lines of his profile were smooth and elegant.

  The man, with a pure American accent, selected several cakes from the store clerk. As he turned around, his gaze suddenly fell on Song Yuqiao.

  Song Yu Qiao's eyes widened slightly in surprise.

  This is Song Yuqiao's first meeting with Pei Shicheng.

  Paisong Chen really is the most approachable person she has seen after seeing many blonde-haired, blue-eyed and fair-skinned foreigners. Because Song Yuqiao saw that he was an Asian, judging by his appearance, he was Chinese, Japanese or Korean? She didn't dare to confirm.

  However, it was Song Yuqiao who looked the best at this moment.

  Pei's gaze also only swept across Song Yuqiao's tender face for a moment, then he raised his umbrella again and walked into the rain.

  Song Yuqiao suddenly thought of something, and even forgot the suitcase by his side. He rushed out of the store door, into the rain, and ran straight in the direction of the man. When he caught up, he grabbed the man's clothes first.

  Because Song Yuqiao liked watching Japanese anime before, and also learned some Japanese to watch anime, she looked up at the person and first greeted him in Japanese.

  Most of Song Yuqiao's body was outside the rain curtain, and her shoulder-length black hair had been completely drenched by the rain.

  Paisong Cheng tilted the black umbrella in his hand forward, blocking Song Yuqiao's body under the umbrella, and then responded in Japanese.

  When Song Yuqiao heard this Japanese answer, he was extremely regretful in his heart, accompanied by a strong sense of disappointment.

  Originally thought could meet old friends in a foreign land, who would have thought...

  Song Yuqiao replied in Japanese with a sentence of apology, then turned around and walked towards the entrance of the small shop. Pei Cheng followed closely behind her, holding an umbrella for Song Yuqiao until she reached the outside of the shop door.

  Song Yuqiao turned around and bowed slightly, "Thank you."

  This time she was a bit stunned, using Chinese to say "thank you", and after reacting, Song Yuqiao hurriedly added another sentence in Japanese, "Arigatou".

  Then she turned around and was about to push open the glass door of the cake shop when a gentle voice suddenly came from behind her.

  "You speak Chinese and I can understand."

  Song Yuqiao, upon hearing the familiar words, excitedly turned around and grabbed Pei Si Cheng's arm. The wild joy in his eyes was easily visible: "You're Chinese?!"

  Pei's gaze swept across Song Yuqiao's face for a moment before nodding: "Yes, I am Chinese."

  Song Yuqiao's heart was filled with joy, and she even opened her arms to give Pei Si Cheng a hug. Her eyebrows and eyes sparkled with excitement as she asked, "Can you help me? I just arrived here and I want to find someone to help me contact my mom. I forgot to get in touch with her before I left."

  It was just so unsuspecting, Song Yuqiao at this time had never thought about the idea that people's hearts are separated by their stomachs, she thought that as long as they were in a completely foreign country, as compatriots, they should help each other.

  After a long time, Pei Su Cheng's gaze was still on Song Yu Qiao's face, calm and unruffled.

  This gaze made Song Yuqiao's face slightly hot, she couldn't help but become flustered, and slightly lowered her head to tuck the stray hair behind her ear, "If it's not convenient, then..."

  "Take out your phone and say your mom's phone number."

  "My mobile number I forgot, the SIM card before going abroad was lost," Song Yuqiao looked up, a pair of bright eyes looking at Pei Si Cheng, with a smile on her lips, "Do you have QQ or MSN on your phone? I can log in to my account."

  Pei Si's long fingers slid across the phone screen a few times, "Your MSN."

  Song Yuqiao posted her own account.

  Pei Shou handed his mobile phone to Song Yuqiao, "Enter the password."

  Song Yuqiao pressed a few numbers, logged in, and quickly found her mother's number, as well as Jessica's number. She sent the same message to both of them: "I've landed, come pick me up."

  Pei Si Cheng had already put away his phone and turned around to walk back into the rain.

  Song Yuqiao suddenly reacted and thought about how his mother would contact him after receiving that message.

  She rushed into the rain again without hesitation, "Good man! Wait a minute!"

  Song Yuqiao didn't know where the courage came from, to bother the same person again and again. But now, seeing a Chinese person, she was like grasping at a lifesaving straw, tightly clutching it in her hand and refusing to let go.

  Pei Si Cheng couldn't help but curl up the corner of his lips when he heard Song Yu Qiao's words, before turning around. Good person? Now you can determine that someone is a good person just by looking at them for the first time? This little girl really needs to experience more things.

  Let him teach this little girl what it means to be a good person.

  He turned around and saw Song Yuqiao had already run over, "Can I send your phone number to my mom so that she can contact you when she sees the message?"

  "How did you know I'm a good person?"

  Song Yuqiao ran a bit breathlessly, raindrops on her skirt opened up a patch of water marks, "Because you don't seem like a bad person."

  Pei Si Cheng smiled: "No bad person will put a label on their own forehead, just like me..."

  He suddenly leaned in close, his eyes level with Song Yuqiao's, only one centimeter away from her face.

  Song Yuqiao was indeed startled, and she involuntarily took a step back. However, Pei Si Cheng's lips had already brushed against her face, causing her hair to flutter slightly.

  "Hello, beautiful miss."

  Song Yuqiao felt her smile was stiff, and the side of her face where Pei Si's mouth had brushed against was a little hot.

  Before going abroad, Song Yuqiao warned herself that a girl who often smiles will not have bad luck. She must smile often and throw away all the past troubles, never thinking about them again.

  Pei Cheng had already stood up and handed his mobile phone to Song Yuqiao, reporting his own phone number.

  Song Yuqiao opened it and saw that her mother had replied, but she was now in a small town and might not be able to rush back today, so she could only arrive tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. She asked Song Yuqiao to find a hotel to stay in first and then report the hotel's address.

  After the matter was settled, Song Yuqiao hurriedly said thank you and handed Pei Sicheng's mobile phone back with both hands. However, when Song Yuqiao pulled out his luggage cart from the cake shop, Pei Sicheng still stood at the door, maintaining the same standing posture as before, motionless.

  He raised an eyebrow and asked, "Aren't we going to the hotel? I'll take you."

  The rain was coming down quite heavily, Song Yuqiao hadn't brought an umbrella and wasn't familiar with the area either. Having someone take care of her was also good, so she quickly expressed her gratitude, saying: "Let's just find a hotel, thank you."

  Pei Si Cheng held a large umbrella over the two of them, and Song Yu Qiao was pulling a suitcase on this side. When going down the stairs, it was a bit laborious, so Pei Si Cheng handed the umbrella to Song Yu Qiao to hold, then easily picked up Song Yu Qiao's suitcase.

  Song Yuqiao held the umbrella in his hand very high, fearing that Pei Shicheng would hit the top of the umbrella when he raised his head.

  The action between the two was very familiar and smooth. He reached out to help her pull the suitcase, and she naturally took the umbrella from his hand.

  Pei Si Cheng sent Song Yu Qiao to the hotel and helped her with the check-in procedures. He turned around, ready to leave.

  Song Yuqiao caught up with him and grasped Pei Shichen's sleeve, bowing slightly and saying sincerely: "Thank you, really thank you."

  Pei Si nodded slightly and looked into Song Yuqiao's clear eyes, curling up the corners of his lips: "Don't be polite."

  Song Yuqiao's eyes narrowed: "Want to leave a phone number for me? I'll treat you to dinner next time."

  Pei Sicheng originally had no smile on his face, but seeing Song Yuqiao's smile, the two shallow dimples on her cheeks made him involuntarily raise the corners of his mouth: "Take care of yourself first, little girl."

  Looking at Pei Cheng's back, Song Yuqiao stuck out her tongue.

  This is really an accidental encounter.

  Song Yuqiao and Pei Shichen didn't exchange names between each other, but Pei Shichen's phone still had Song Yuqiao's MSN login record.

  It remained there, until later, several years later, MSN finally passed its most glorious period, after going offline, Pei Si Cheng was still there, not deleted, only the few photos inside were already saved on the phone.

  ………………

  Pei Si Cheng also came to Canada on business and unexpectedly met this little girl, which was an episode.

  He came to Vancouver for three months and had to fly back and forth between Los Angeles and Vancouver, so he simply shared an apartment with a university classmate here.

  The classmate was an American named Carlo, but after hearing Pei Sheng tell Carlo about Chinese names, Carlo asked Pei Sheng to give him a Chinese name. The name Pei Sheng gave him was: Luo Ka.

  One evening, Pei Shuai lay on his bed and casually logged onto MSN, unintentionally logging into Song Yuqiao's account.

  The first thing that caught my eye was a series of photos.

  At that time, MSN was still quite popular, and generally speaking, people abroad were using MSN.

  In the dark of night, Pei Si slightly raised an eyebrow, and on his phone screen, a photo was displayed with a silvery glow that seemed to be superimposed on his face.

  ………………

  The photos taken by Song Yuqiao are of primary school students doing handicraft lessons, and also of a small gathering where he played the drums with one of the children.

  She hadn't touched the drum set for a long time, but now she suddenly picked it up again, feeling that every cell in her body was stirring.

  At the end of the small gathering, Song Yuqiao played a solo drum set alone, and the children below were boiling.

  Later, a teacher shared the photo and Song Yuqiao uploaded it to MSN.

  When they were young, their mother paid great attention to cultivating the two daughters' piano, chess, calligraphy and painting skills. Song Shuying learned to play the piano at that time, while Song Yuqiao chose to learn drumming because she thought it was cool.

  Extremely ignorant and with a single-minded reason.

  She came to her mother's home, Xi Mei Yu disliked her for doing nothing at home all day, so she entrusted someone to let Song Yuqiao go to a school in a town to teach Chinese.

  Song Yuqiao's English speaking skills are indeed not very good, but under the influence of this environment, her English level is also gradually improving.

  Elementary school was in a small town, Song Yuqiao lived in the dormitory of the school, because her mother's research institute was very busy and had no time to take care of Song Yuqiao. Song Yuqiao only stayed at Xi Mei Yu and Uncle Deng Kun's home for a week before returning to elementary school and quitting his job.

  She wanted to keep herself busy, best if she was as busy as a spinning top, that way she wouldn't have any extra time to think about Ye Zenan.

  Actually, Xi Mei Yu asked Song Yu Qiao why she didn't want to attend university in her home country and suddenly ran abroad.

  Song Yuqiao casually found an excuse to brush it off, and it can be seen that her mother's face was full of disbelief, but there was nothing she could do about it, Song Yuqiao had made up her mind not to speak.

  She now wants to walk out of those dark memories again, so she can't be immersed and doesn't want to tell anyone, saying it once will make her heart ache once.

  However, Xi Mei Yu could also see that Song Yu Qiao seemed to have changed a lot. Previously, Song Yu Qiao's personality was more quiet, but now, no matter when you looked at her, she would always be smiling with the corners of her mouth raised, with a gentle and sweet smile, as if she could wake up laughing even in her dreams.

  At first, Song Yuqiao forced himself to smile. Every morning when he got up, he would smile in front of the mirror for three minutes, and then no matter how big a thing was, his heart would be clear.

  After resigning, Song Yuqiao had submitted several resumes, but they all ended in vain.

  Also, she now has only a high school diploma and has just arrived abroad for only a few months, how can it be smooth sailing?

  Then Uncle Duncan introduced Song Yuqiao to a company through someone.

  Jessica said: "The company is not very big, mainly just some miscellaneous things are more, and also with customers signing contracts, this is considered a commission, you don't need to worry about it."

  Song Yuqiao immediately hugged Jessica: "Thank you and your dad! I just want more miscellaneous things! Love you, Brother Jessica!"

  Jessica hugged Song Yuqiao back: "I love you too!"

  What Jessica told Song Yuqiao beforehand was correct, there were indeed many miscellaneous things, such as the dozens of reports archived on the computer, which required summarizing all the data, removing useless data, and organizing it into one report, which was a test of patience, very tedious and eye-straining.

  However, Song Yuqiao was busy for several days and when he handed over this comprehensive bodyguard to the supervisor, the supervisor's eyes were wide with amazement.

  "How long did it take you to sort out?"

  Song Yuqiao stuck out three fingers: "Three days."

  For three whole days, apart from some indispensable work in the company, these miscellaneous tasks had taken up all of Song Yuqiao's time.

  And Song Yuqiao was also promoted because of this.

  ………………

  Song Yuqiao was only eighteen years old, making him the youngest in the company. He had originally come here because Uncle Dengken had asked someone to bring him in, otherwise he would have been considered an intern.

  Next, Song Yuqiao started running errands and getting people to sign documents.

  But Song Yuqiao was indeed quite lucky, the first two clients only discussed twice and happily signed on, she didn't feel the "difficulty" of "starting everything is difficult".

  However, the roadblock tiger did feel it.

  There was a client, also a Chinese person. Song Yuqiao originally thought it should be easy to handle, but who knew that this person would not budge no matter what, and even called Song Yuqiao a "yellow-haired girl".

  Song Yuqiao's stubbornness was triggered, and the original intention was not to sign this contract, but now it must be signed.

  It's not clear if this client was intentionally making things difficult for Song Yuqiao, but on the same day, there was a party in his villa area, and he invited Song Yuqiao to attend, telling him that they would discuss the contract after he arrived, otherwise everything would be off.

  When in S city, the Song family was considered to be part of the upper class circle. So, although Xi Mei Yu never required Song Yu Qiao and Song Shu Ying to learn any specific etiquette, she taught them that no matter what occasion they were in, they had to be polite and courteous, whether it was their attire or speech.

  Song Yuqiao went to a dress shop and picked out a set of formal wear, originally intending to buy it, but after seeing the price tag, he hesitated and rented one instead.

  Song Yuqiao chose a small gift dress, similar to the cheongsam style, but with lace and inlaid pearls. If she wore a crown on her head, she would really look like a princess from a fairy tale world.

  Song Yuqiao changed into her formal attire, put the contract in her bag, and then took a taxi to the villa district.

  He is really considered a wealthy overseas Chinese now.

  The villa area is a seaside villa, with Mediterranean-style decorations inside. Colorful lanterns are hung outside, and self-service buffet tables are set up inside the villa and beside the swimming pool, offering some desserts and drinks, which will be constantly replenished by waiters.

  Song Yuqiao came here and no one knew him, he just wanted to come and talk about a deal.

  By the swimming pool, Song Yuqiao picked up a glass of champagne and took a sip. He thought it tasted pretty good, so he had two more sips. However, after drinking, he felt a bit dizzy. Whether it was seven years ago or seven years later, Song Yuqiao had zero immunity to alcoholic beverages.

  It's okay, just drank two mouthfuls, slightly dizzy, Song Yuqiao went to the bathroom to wash his face, and felt much better. He thought that he must make a quick decision with the rich man in his hand, so he directly found the rich man by the swimming pool.

  "Mr. Zhang, would you mind taking a look at our company's..."

  He raised his hand and interrupted Song Yuqiao's words, "Today is just for fun, let's talk business another day."

  Someone next to him chimed in: "Right, what a mood killer."

  "But Mr Zhang, you told me to bring the contract tonight..."

  "This person interrupted Song Yuqiao's words, 'Would you have come if I hadn't said that?'"

  Song Yuqiao: "......"

  Song Yuqiao is relatively small among the crowd, and at first glance, she is that kind of particularly delicate little girl, so delicate that you can pinch out water, and she is also a Chinese little girl.

  The rich man was also tired of those foreign girls, really wanting to change his taste, and his hand directly touched Song Yuqiao's thigh. "Girl, why don't you accompany me? I'll sign this contract for you right now."

  Song Yuqiao's smile on her face had vanished, she hastily retreated a step back, blocking this person's salty pig hand, and was furious in her heart.

  "Mr. Zhang, please take care of yourself."

  The rich man's face was also cold, "What a pretentious virtuous woman, wanting to get the bill, how many are exchanged."

  Song Yuqiao took one look at the man's face with an unfavorable expression, and put away the contract in his hand. "I'm very sorry to have disturbed Mr. Zhang tonight. Since there's nothing else, I'll take my leave first."

  However, just as Song Yuqiao turned around, she was bumped by a waiter holding a tray.

  She was wearing high heels, standing by the pool edge, with water on the tiles and some slippery, she was knocked off balance, lost her footing, and fell into the pool.

  When she heard the loud laughter from the people by the pool, Song Yuqiao only then realized that the person had done it on purpose.

  Song Yuqiao was a good swimmer, and he floated up in the pool, taking big breaths, brushing his black hair to one side of his face, and looking at the group of people laughing loudly by the pool.

  Song Yuqiao walked towards the swimming pool edge, wanting to climb up, but was pushed back down by one of them.

  Three times like this, even if you have a good temper, you will get angry. Song Yuqiao's face was full of anger, and he wiped the water on his face. "What do you want?"

  "This guy said: 'Agree to follow our boss home tonight and I'll bring you along.'"

  "What if I say no?"

  Song Yuqiao sneered, her small face no longer had a hint of smile, her tone was somewhat stubborn, but it was clearly tinged with a childish feeling, so when some men heard this refusal, they felt even more unable to control their lower body, and their beastly nature burst out.

  "This man sneered and said: 'Then you can just soak in this pool for a whole night, let's see who dares to pull you out.'"

  The pool was very deep, Song Yuqiao was now submerged in water from her shoulders down, she swam to the side and held onto the railing, but was directly poked with a stick by someone, and took a step back.

  The person above said: "I mean what I say."

  Song Yuqiao felt unprecedentedly wronged, now standing around the swimming pool were all sorts of people, some holding wine glasses and eating desserts, all dressed up, looking down at Song Yuqiao in the pool.

  In early October, the water in the swimming pool was already very cold. At first, when he fell into it, he didn't feel anything, but after staying inside for a while, Song Yuqiao felt his teeth chattering.

  Someone above stretched out a very long wooden stick and said, "Little girl, have you thought it over? If you've thought it over and agree, come over here."

  Song Yuqiao didn't make a sound, feeling as if her eyelashes had all frozen into ice.

  It must be an illusion.

  "No."

  Song Yu said a word with a strong tone, and everyone on stage was speechless.

  Just as Song Yuqiao's voice had fallen, a sound came from the other side of the swimming pool.

  "Come on, I'll pull you up."

  Song Yuqiao's reaction was slightly slow, and when he turned around, a pair of slender hands with distinct joints had already appeared in front of him. The hands were very beautiful, and following the wrist up, his eyes met a familiar pair of black pupils.

  "Is it you?!"

  Song Yuqiao was somewhat surprised.

  Pei Si nodded slightly, "It's me."

  Song Yuqiao placed his hand on Pei Sheng's, and Pei Sheng pulled him up with force.

  The formal dress on Qiao's body was a bit small and thin, now it was soaked through and completely stuck to her skin.

  Pais Cheng took off his formal coat and wrapped it around Song Yuqiao's body. Song Yuqiao's figure trembled, and Pais Cheng had already leaned over to whisper in her ear: "Cooperate with me for a moment."

  Pei Si Cheng had already put his arm around Song Yu Qiao's waist, "Mr. Zhang, sorry about this, my little sister is being unreasonable and causing you trouble."

  Such an intimate action, and Song Yuqiao's obedience to Pei Si Cheng at this moment, even if he didn't want to misunderstand, it was impossible.

  According to Pei Si's words, this rich man still has to give some face, because he is now also a small celebrity in the Chinese circle.

  "Sorry about the misunderstanding," the rich man smiled, "Little girl, why didn't you say so earlier? If I had known that Pei Shao was your brother, it wouldn't have been just one contract, even ten contracts would have been signed in no time."

  "What about now?" Pei Si Cheng raised an eyebrow lightly.

  "Signed, of course."

  Song Yuqiao's luck is really good, from childhood to adulthood, no matter when, even when she was at the lowest point in her life, there would always be someone to help her. The saying "heaven will not cut off a person's path" is exactly about Song Yuqiao, so it's inevitable that some people would feel envious and jealous of her.

  This time, it was because of Pei Si Cheng's appearance that the contract was resolved like this.

  It seems like it really proved that saying: girls who love to laugh will never have bad luck.

  Song Yuqiao told herself in her heart that she must smile often and laugh at those ridiculous people.

  Actually, Pei Shuai was temporarily called over to participate in this party. Here, he met Song Yuqiao again and was also very surprised.

  At first, he just stood at the end of the pool, with a gaze that was just right, falling on her body, watching her hold a glass of champagne to drink, then get slightly drunk, and then go find Zhang Bao to sign, and then be "accidentally" pushed into the pool.

  Pei Si slightly furrowed his brow.

  Although he can't stand the infighting within this Chinese community, he also isn't prepared to take a stand for such an unknown little girl.

  Pei Si Cheng has gone through the baptism of society and started to understand how to advance and retreat. He knows what kind of way can best protect himself.

  But when he looked at the little girl, alone in the swimming pool, shivering with fear, yet still raised her chin and stubbornly said a word "no", Pei Si Cheng couldn't help but burst out laughing.

  He smiled and shook his head, got up and walked towards the edge of the swimming pool.

  This time, he was willing to lend a hand, helping the little girl and teaching her when to yield, learning to prioritize self-preservation before seeking revenge.

  Coming out of the villa area, Song Yuqiao's whole body was wet and cold, and when the wind blew, he couldn't help but shiver.

  Pei Si Cheng drove over and said, "Get in, I'll give you a ride for part of the way."

  Song Yuqiao opened the car door and hesitated for a moment.

  I'm all wet and if I get on the bus like this, I'll definitely get the inside of the bus seat all wet.

  "Never mind, get in."

  Song Yu smiled and said, "Then I'll come up, Brother Pei."

  She just spoke thoughtlessly, because she had just learned that Pei's surname was Pei. Since she started working, she has always been the youngest and has been used to addressing others as seniors all the time, so she blurted out "Brother Pei".

  After being called out, she couldn't help but shiver with cold.

  How can it sound so corny? It must be an illusion.

  Pei Su Cheng heard this title and turned his face to glance at Song Yu Qiao, "How old are you?"

  Song Yuqiao said: "Eighteen."

  It was obvious that Song Yuqiao was only seventeen or eighteen years old, and her tender appearance, along with a pair of clear and transparent eyes, could thoroughly reveal her.

  Originally wanted to teach this little girl some truth about human relationships, but Pei Si Xuan immediately withdrew the idea.

  Since when did he also like to be a know-it-all?

  Besides, they had only met a couple of times in a foreign land, so how she was doing was truly none of her business.

  "Address?"

  Song Yuqiao reported the address, carefully shrinking his legs, feeling that his wet clothes had already stained the seat, and smiled: "Sorry about that."

  Because he had to go to work now, Song Yuqiao moved out of his mother's and Uncle Dengken's home and rented a house outside.

  Along the way, Song Yuqiao found a few topics to talk about, trying to liven up the atmosphere. However, Pei Chengming was clearly unresponsive, pouting and shrugging his shoulders before turning his face away to look out the window. She thought to herself that this handsome guy really was an iceberg, impossible to melt no matter how much warmth she showed him.

  Song Yuqiao got off the car and still said thank you to Pei Si.

  Pei Si Cheng simply waved his hand and drove away.

  It's really very cold.

  Song Yuqiao watched as the car drove far away, and only then did she recall that this person's surname was Pei.

  She turned around and went upstairs. It wasn't until she entered the door that she suddenly realized that she was still wearing Pei's suit jacket on her shoulders.

  This is the second meeting between Song Yuqiao and Pei Shichen, Song Yuqiao got a suit jacket from Pei Shichen, but has no way to contact Pei Shichen.

  Song Yuqiao then sent the Western-style coat along with her own evening dress to be dry cleaned, and took the evening dress back to the store to return the deposit. The Western-style coat was hung in the closet, thinking that if there would be a next time they met, she would have to return the coat to Pei Shicheng.

  Yes, there will be next time.

  This time we met inside a bar.

  Song Yuqiao is young, but she's outgoing and never talks too much. When seniors ask her to do something, she'll just go do it. At this age, she's just accumulating experience, so the more tired and busy she is, the better.

  There was a little girl who came in with Song Yuqiao and asked her, "Why are you so quiet? Working with you is like being with a silent gourd."

  Song Yuqiao's face was filled with a smile: "It is inevitable to lose when speaking too much, among the hundred words spoken, there will always be one sentence that goes wrong, it's better not to say anything at all and use them for doing things."

  Song Yuqiao actually knew a lot of principles, from the time she went abroad, she began to intentionally read more books to enrich herself, but, it was just talking on paper, some things were really just empty words with grand theories, when it came to actual practice, it was completely unrecognizable.

  That day, in order to celebrate the successful signing of a big order, the project team decided to go to a bar for a wild party.

  In the project group, apart from Song Yuqiao being Chinese, there is another male who is also Chinese, but has already become an American citizen. He immigrated to Canada with his grandfather and is now over 40 years old, somewhat bald, and his daughter is two years older than Song Yuqiao.

  When she was in the country, Song Yuqiao had never been to a bar, so she didn't know what the difference was between bars abroad and those at home. Anyway, when she came in, the deafening music made her cover her ears, following several seniors behind her, walking towards the card seat.

  After sitting down, Song Yuqiao began to observe what was called a bar.

  In the middle is a very large dance floor, in front of the dance floor there are two stages. One is the main stage for performances, and slightly lower down is a smaller stage for those who are good at dancing and want to lead the dance.

  Further back is an orchestra.

  Song Yuqiao saw that the band members were all young people, playing drums, guitars and bass, which really made her feel excited.

  When you arrive at a bar, the first thing you must do is drink alcohol.

  Song Yuqiao had not had much contact with wine before, so she didn't know her limits. When others poured her a drink, she would drink it because they were serving wine with a relatively low alcohol content, not hard liquor. The taste in her mouth was sour and sweet with just a hint of alcohol, causing Song Yuqiao to unknowingly drink several more cups. Then she started feeling dizzy and nauseous, wanting to throw up.

  Why is there such a feeling?

  Song Yuqiao waved his hand and made a gesture of going to the toilet, then supported the table and stood up, swaying and twisting towards the dance pool, completely walking into a winding path.

  "Isn't she going to the restroom? Why is she heading for the stage?"

  Song Yuqiao completely lost his sense of direction, after the noisy dance floor and the smell of alcohol and perfume on women's bodies, he suddenly felt extremely nauseous, covering his mouth and running towards the corridor, but where was the bathroom?

  After passing through a security corridor in front of the hallway, a person walked out and Song Yuqiao bumped into him immediately.

  Pei Si Cheng didn't expect that while he was smoking on this side, someone would suddenly rush over and collide with him.

  And also know each other.

  Oh, can't be considered familiar, just two people who have met twice at most.

  Pei Si Cheng helped Song Yu Qiao up and asked: "Little girl, are you drunk? Looking for the restroom?"

  Song Yuqiao's body was particularly soft, and he suddenly leaned against him, making Pei Cheng unable to help but tense up his body for a moment, dazed, as if he was suddenly enchanted by the faint scent of his nose.

  Song Yuqiao's reaction was slightly delayed, as if Pei Si Cheng's voice had traveled through a long reflection arc before entering her eardrum, and she raised her head.

  The light on his head is so bright, the moon in the sky is so round, this man is really handsome.

  "You look really good."

  She smiled slightly with her mouth open, and before the words had even fallen, she couldn't control it, and the churning feeling in her stomach suddenly all came out.

  He threw up on the man who had just said "You look really good".
