Chapter 6, he heard the wind speaking

Ye Shenxun smiled with his lips but not with his eyes, took a sip of coffee, and said: "Everyone understands the great principles, but how many truly put them into practice?"

I halted my steps in a different direction, turned around, and with a pout remarked: "Now I finally understand why your marriage proposal failed"

I cast a glance at the young man who was ordering, and discreetly covered my mouth while tilting my head to say: "Yes, sit across from me."

Therefore, just before stepping out to meet, I specifically borrowed a camera from the Ye family's servant, intending to capture the appearance of my rival for Liu Dazhuang to analyze, to assess my chances of success. However, that camera ultimately went unused, as my eyes had already memorized his features.

I silently rolled my eyes and shouted up the stairs: "Xingxing? Your brother said he wants to kill me." I was quickly struck by a sharp glance.

During a break in dinner, I asked Ye Shenxun if I could go for a stroll in the city. His eyes, sharp as an eagle's, seemed to see through everything, and he casually replied: "I don't care what your purpose in coming to Philadelphia is; if you miss work, there will be no mercy."

Hearing the sound of dishes being arranged and her cheerful voice from the other side, I felt relieved; it seemed she had completely adapted to life here. However, I still had not figured out what excuse to use to meet Wei Guangyin.

I was feeling emotional when Ye Shenxun glanced at me, and I immediately panicked and cut off the conversation. After all, both he and Zhou Yin seem to particularly dislike others revealing their whereabouts. I did not want to be inexplicably locked in a small dark room and interrogated about colluding with someone.

The young man paused his steps several times, remaining silent, and disappeared around the corner of the staircase

Responding with "yes" seems too extravagant, while saying "no" feels too degrading, so I opted for ambiguity: "Chinese girls are also very beautiful." This elicited thumbs up from several international stenographers nearby

During the gathering, Zhou Yin asked me if I was interested in transferring to the Foreign Languages Department: "The company's star translator, Xia Li, has returned from a business trip and took the time to review the materials you recorded at the Economic Conference. She believes you have great potential and that staying in the Chinese Department would be a waste. If you are interested in this area, you can absorb theoretical knowledge at school while working as Xia Li's assistant to gain practical experience. I will handle the professional adjustment. The area of corporate mergers and acquisitions involves many countries' written contracts and is of great significance. With this resume, even if you do not wish to stay in the future, finding another job will be easy."

Just as I was about to retort, the waiter happened to come in with the appetizers, and at that moment, the phone rang, revealing it was Sheng Shan. She did not explain how she got my number; after all, she always has her ways. She immediately asked, "Is Zhou Yin next to you?"

When the entire room was left with only me and Ye Shenxun, who was on the edge of danger, I finally fell silent, wrapped myself in the blanket, quietly closed my eyes, and lay flat, trying to pretend that nothing had happened

The most looked down upon in the Chinese Department are those who become writers after graduation

Upon disembarking from the plane, it was already evening in the local area, and the summer temperature in Philadelphia was pleasant. Before the sun set, a gentle breeze caressed the face

I deliberately avoided a direct confrontation with him, yet he had already noticed my presence and suddenly asked: "What is so good about the person you like?"

Before the words had even settled, a sudden clap of thunder echoed, and the rain came pouring down like a broken bamboo, striking against the three sides of the floor-to-ceiling windows with a crackling sound

After being pestered by Ye Shenxing for a while, Ye Shenxun, unable to bear the annoyance, finally got up, glanced at the car keys on the table, and personally went out to greet the guests

Suddenly missing an appointment, Cheng Suiwan wanted to find me but could not find a way. It was not until I logged onto Q that I saw her series of anxious messages.

The next day, I used the Ye family's landline to call Cheng Suiwan, and we arranged to meet after the summit. She excitedly said on the other end of the line that she had a surprise for me

The next day, before leaving, I confirmed the meeting place with Tong Cheng Sui Wan.

The man nodded slightly and turned to me, saying, "Take this young lady to the guest room." It seems this is his residence

Life is fraught with traps, I merely wish to have a meal

Orange

The man furrowed his brows and asked, "Is Miss Cheng not being driven by a chauffeur?" The young employee, feeling anxious, replied, "Sir, Miss Cheng said she wanted to take a walk and insisted on not having a driver, so..."

Although I had not planned to engage in translation work before, I had still heard of this Shali. However, in her thirties, she is proficient in eight languages and has obtained translation qualifications. Many students from foreign language colleges regard her as an idol and wish to study under her, and she has indeed taken them under her wing

The pair of eyes across from him was filled with unmistakable love and hate, intense and fervent. Ye Shenxun felt a slight sting in his pupils and suddenly realized that the coffee was also a bit too hot to hold, so he set it down, ceased speaking, and turned to go upstairs.

Alas, today marks the five-thousandth birthday of my Optimus Prime. After five thousand years without experiencing love, I finally...

Ye Shenxun tilted his head to look at the sky, and it was indeed turning from clear to overcast. This city is always like this; it can suddenly become sunny, only to be followed by a torrential downpour.

Ye Shenxun felt as if she were about to vomit blood. Just as she was about to respond, her eyelids drooped, and she collapsed onto the ground.

The meeting place is too sensitive, and my heart tightened. I inexplicably took a breath. On the other end, Cheng Suiwan did not notice anything unusual and continued, "Just right, I don't know where I put my keys, so I'm going to find him to get a spare one. Besides, you will definitely like the meals inside the school."

At first, I thought the second young master of the Ye family was just a child of about eight or nine years old. However, after tidying up and taking a stroll around the courtyard, I discovered that he was a boy of similar age to me

Having a strong backing is excellent

What she said afterwards, I have already overlooked, only suddenly recalling the direction pointed out by the Japanese female interpreter at the summit: "I just noticed a particularly handsome Chinese boy, who seems to be in charge of photography..." But when I looked over, the place was already empty.

During those two days, I quickly became acquainted with Ye Shensheng, the second young master of the Ye family

Then tell me, what is the true essence of love

When I woke up again, Ye Shenxing's fair face was close to me, her round eyes almost glued to my body, and she casually poked my arm with her right index finger: "Cheng Cheng, do you want to drink orange juice?"

What is the reason for that

Ye Shenxun raised his eyes and saw two youthful faces framed by chaotic flowers and green leaves. The young boy, filled with mischief, pulled on the rope with force, causing the swing to suddenly soar high, startling the girl into a sharp scream, her long hair sweeping across the deep blue sky, as if the passing wind could speak. Inside the house, someone was brewing fresh lemon tea, and the delicate fragrance wafted out, suddenly reminding him of four words

At the end of summer, the lingering heat was pierced by the laughter of a boy who had not laughed in a long time. Someone loomed in the memory, calling out crisply: "Brother! Brother!"

I elongated the sound: "Because the oil prices on your planet are too high!"

This does not resemble a switch of packages; it seems more like a loss of chastity

He was clearly touched on a sensitive point, his brows slightly furrowed, as if contemplating whether to throw the coffee in his hand at me. I assessed the situation and kept my distance, yet I had no intention of letting go of this topic that could provoke him.

Ye Shenxun is right; everyone understands the great principles, but how many can truly put them into practice? I pride myself on my commendable courage, having spent nearly ten years following one person, yet at this moment, I do not dare to return to where I started, to seek what belongs to me.

I repeatedly nailed him to the pillar of shame for his failed marriage proposal, and the usually restrained person had bulging veins. Even Ye Shenxing understood that this was a dangerous signal, and immediately ran out of the room with his beloved pillar of support, what a disloyal fellow

Half a minute later, a pair of warm hands patted my face, and the voice was surprisingly as warm as his hands: "Drink the porridge."

I gazed at the fallen flower petals in the plate, soft and pink, which were truly delightful. I heard someone beside me ask, "Where is the second young master?" "In response, sir, the young master Xing is tinkering with toys in the backyard."

What is this all about? So, do people who fall in love really have a negative IQ?

Upon seeing him, Cheng Gaigai made an effort to suppress the redness in her eyes, likely due to a cold, and said in a muffled voice: "I accidentally dropped my bag"

A sudden jolt in my mind, and after three seconds of blankness, I awaken as if from a dream: "It's not what you think!"

Fearing that she would propose to meet again, I did not even consider it: "Tomorrow!"

The girl paused slightly, her eyes glistening with tears: "Can we have a little more meat for dinner? I'm so hungry," she said

Not far away, the boy's guard had completely vanished, as he shared a swing with her, his whole body almost pressed against hers, their arms touching, eagerly asking: "So how was it yesterday?!"

Upon careful consideration of this girl in various aspects, it seems that she possesses a personality capable of bringing joy to others. It was in a moment of impulse that I instructed the driver to bring me here

Revise ... ...

In front of the familiar face of Zhou Yin, I felt my face flush instantly, almost wanting to slam the table in indignation: "Please! I am just!"

It seemed like a lively scene not seen in a long time, Ye Shenxun squinted his eyes, unable to help but smile, confirming that his decision was indeed correct

"Cheng Cheng" is a nickname that Ye Shenxing privately gave to Cheng Gaigai. On the day they first met, in order to encourage him to be more cheerful, Cheng Gaigai made a deal to tell a joke in exchange for him introducing himself, but he countered by asking for her name. However, her close friends all call her "Gai" for short, while Ye Shenxing insists on using the full "Cheng" because he likes to eat oranges

I ran several thousand meters before I finally stopped to catch my breath, as if I had stumbled upon a scene that I should not have been privy to. It was only then that I realized my small shoulder bag was missing, having fallen somewhere. Perhaps it was on campus; in my shock, I had unconsciously relaxed my grip without realizing it.

Staring at his silhouette, I recalled something and called out to the person going upstairs: "Which Wei family were you referring to last time at 'Xing Ba'?"

His brows and eyes inherited the excellent genes of the Ye family, but compared to Ye Shenxun, they lacked a certain sharpness. Upon seeing me, a stranger, the boy immediately stood up, clearly a bit flustered, his gaze reflecting the pure innocence characteristic of children

Hahaha ... ...

Previously, it seemed that no one had seriously discussed the plot with him. The boy blinked and tried to move a little closer to me, adopting a contemplative expression: "Because, because humanity cannot accept the Autobots, viewing them as monsters, they can only return to their own planet to live freely and comfortably"

The man clenched his fist in a place where no one was watching, and in the distance, the girl's voice could be heard, deliberately altered to sound like a man's.

However, I still understand this matter of loyalty, so I discussed the terms with him. After the summit, he will stay in Philadelphia for a few more days before returning to his country, fulfilling my wish

He finally released his hands, straightened up, turned his gaze towards Ye Shenxun, and wore a serious expression

It is indeed the case that without truly understanding the essence of emotions, one rashly proposes marriage. If I were a woman, I would not agree either

Later, I asked myself countless times. If I had known this earlier, would I still choose to follow Ye Shenxun to the United States? This question has remained unanswered.

called Chengcheng

I stubbornly clenched the black short wood at my neck, as it had guided me countless times in moments of confusion

The present world is peaceful

What are you doing

Cheng Gaigai's heart is in turmoil. Who said this child has an intellectual problem? Isn't his reaction just as quick as his brother's?

Cheng Gaigai, what is the matter with you? Did we not agree to meet?

When Zhou Yin suddenly brought it up, I foolishly blurted out, and the atmosphere was instantly enveloped in layers of pink bubbles, yet I remained oblivious, my mind and eyes solely focused on that dish. It was not until Zhou Yin quietly set down his chopsticks, propped his palms on the table, and looked at me meaningfully that I realized: "I have no other intentions, just curious. Were you willing... or were you forced?"

Because, just now, I have at least confirmed one thing

The boy whom I hold dear to my heart seems happier than before. Although it is a pity, the one who brings him joy is not me

If there truly exists someone in this world who does not like their older brother, then that person must certainly not be me

You like Transformers, so do you know why Bumblebee did not return to Earth after leaving at the end of the story

Zhou Yin's keen gaze flickered for a moment. As the appetizer was just served, he picked up a small portion with his chopsticks and half-jokingly asked Ye Shenxun, "Oh, after this trip, you seem to have a clear understanding of their tastes. The person over there replied, 'You stayed at home this time, didn't you find it inconvenient?'" The tone was marked by a rise and fall.

Is it fate? The first thought that comes to mind

She seems to be crying, her shoulders trembling, while rainwater cascades down from her head like a stream, soaking her completely as if she were unaware. The half-length gauze skirt she carefully selected in the morning now clings to her calves in a state of disarray, and in her distraction, she almost trips over a small stone. Stubbornly, she insists on kicking the stone far away before she is satisfied.

I have lost my bag, and I do not have a single cent on me. What is even more frustrating is that the Ye family's residence is not accessible by public transport, completely eliminating my chance to ask passersby for one or two yuan. In this unfamiliar place, I look up at the sky and see tall buildings everywhere; everyone seems to have a place to return to, while I feel as if I know nothing about this city.

It is... even though you know he is not good, you cannot help but want to stay by her side. If he is very ugly, you would be willing to blind yourself. If he has a strange personality, you would be willing to smooth out your own edges to accommodate him. If he is very poor, you would be willing to offer up your only hands.

Having listened for a long time, Ye Shenxun leaned slightly against the cool chair, offering a timely remark.

Ye Shenxun was engaging in social etiquette with several individuals, and his lively demeanor was particularly eye-catching. The other stenographers nearby glanced over a few times and asked, "Are all the men in China this good-looking?"

I never knew that, in private, she regarded me as an older sister. However, when she is angry, she always shouts my name slowly and deliberately: "Cheng Gaigai!"

The streets near the summit venue have been closed off in advance, with vehicles from various countries and economic pillars pouring in to participate in the grand event. I couldn't help but click my tongue in amazement, while Ye Shenxun casually played on his phone, yet he also sensed my pressure and said lightly: "It's not as terrifying as you think; just treat it like a lecture from a professor and take note of the key points."

On the day we returned to Bin City, Zhou Yin hosted a gathering, saying it was to welcome us and formally express his gratitude for my life-saving grace. He seems to favor light-colored clothing, as does Wei Guangyin, which is quite different from Ye Shenxun.

I have no classes all day; otherwise, shall we meet at Binfa University?

I looked in the direction she pointed, and the entrance was already empty. Yet, for some reason, I suddenly felt a strange sense of loss in my heart

Across the silver table sat a lively and bright girl, chattering away. She reached out and snatched the book from his hands, puffing out her cheeks in a playful manner and said: "My sister will be here soon, so you should help us think of which restaurant to go to."

Zhou Yin shrugged: "It's not that anyone can do anything to you, but for girls, their first experience should still take into account their feelings."

"Sitting opposite you? Isn't it just a matter of looking up to see? How envious..."

The "he" that Cheng Suiwan referred to is her roommate. After she moved out of the dormitory, she shared an apartment with him. Initially, upon hearing that he was a boy, both I and Cheng's parents expressed our opposition. However, she insisted, praising him for being so gentle, so kind, and so outstanding: "He is a top student from the University of Pennsylvania." With the distance between us and the authority of the emperor, we had no way to intervene

Critical thinking, there has been a significant commotion ahead

The meeting was divided into morning and afternoon sessions, and by the end, I was completely exhausted. To avoid any omissions, I mustered the courage to approach another company's stenographer when the crowd dispersed to verify the information.

I heard he went to Binghamton University, and he should now be trapped in the school, unable to extricate himself. He also studied there for two years for his master's degree, and he could find his way back with his eyes closed. However, he never expected that just a few minutes after setting off, he would see a solitary and frail figure on the path in the distance.

What happened

There is meat

Sigh, the moment I see you, my mood improves significantly. Liking someone is not everything in life, and a failed proposal is not either, right? We are all lost souls in this world, let us join hands and overcome the difficulties together, love knows no bounds...

The boy's black and white eyes were slightly open, as if he smiled and said something. However, my ears experienced a brief moment of deafness, and my legs felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead, making it impossible for me to move even half a step in that direction. In the end, I turned and ran out.

Call to change it

Seeing the other person's anxious expression, he couldn't help but inquire. Ye Shenxing pouted childishly and said: "The little birds are flying low, it's going to rain, it's no fun"

As the person passed through the hall, he recalled that someone had gone out, and he casually asked the driver, Old Liu, when he would return. The person was taken aback: "Old Liu is in the other courtyard"

The dish tasted very good, and I contentedly picked up a few chopsticks without my mind registering it. Reflexively, I helped Ye Shenxun continue the conversation: "It's more convenient to live at home; he is particular about his bed."

Ye Shenxun, that wretched person, not only refused to help me explain but also added fuel to the fire by saying: "So what if it's coercive?"

He was startled by my suddenly exaggerated voice, revealing a horrified expression. After a moment, he realized what I had said and suddenly hugged the Bumblebee, laughing uncontrollably, his youthful Adam's apple moving vigorously

Ye Shenxun's thoughts stirred, and he slowed the car, stopping beside her. He lowered half of the car window and spoke in an unfriendly tone: "How did it come to this?"

If you were to spend nearly ten years just to get closer to him

I particularly cannot stand being one of the vulnerable groups. When I was young, competing with other children for toys and territory in a peaceful environment was merely to enhance my sense of existence. At this moment, I am even less inclined to expose my fragility in front of Ye Shenxun, so I can only pretend that it is not a big deal

Orange

He sat quietly in the open square of the school, his head lowered as he read. The August sunlight danced over, casting its glow on the surroundings, rendering the boy and the charming architecture behind him like a vibrant European oil painting. All the light and shadow coalesced on that tranquil face, dazzling others and bringing tears to my eyes.

It finally became the year 5001 yesterday

My dream since childhood has been to become a writer, and the Chinese department is the most suitable place for that

Bin Zhong often invites renowned professors to give lectures at the school, and when he speaks, I indeed feel a sense of relief. Moreover, the venue is so large, filled with a dense crowd, making it difficult to distinguish who is who

I opened one eye to observe the unusual movement, but I was unable to clearly see Ye Shenxun's expression; I could only catch a glimpse of the man's retreating figure.

Zhou Yin has a light taste, mostly ordering vegetarian dishes. Ye Shenxun unexpectedly handed me the menu, saying: "Aren't you someone who can't enjoy a meal without meat?"

As if aware of the gaze following him from behind, he continued to speak

I glanced at my online contacts, and Cheng Suiwan's avatar was still lit up. She must have noticed me as well, and in her impatience, she sent a flurry of question mark emojis. My fingers hovered over the keyboard, unable to type anything, yet fearing her anxiety, I could only casually fabricate an excuse: "It suddenly started pouring just before I left, and the phone signal in the area was interrupted, so I couldn't get in touch with you."

Since he stubbornly changed my nickname, I have developed a strange sense of kinship with oranges, as if they were truly my kind. Now he calls me to drink orange juice, what difference is that from asking me to commit suicide? So I waved my hand and said, "I have only experienced a breakup, I do not wish to die yet." My tone was melancholic, yet Ye Shenxing did not understand the intricacies behind it.

I could no longer sit still, and in a fit of shame and anger, I slammed my chopsticks onto the table, boldly threatening Zhou Yin: "Is it still possible to push you into the fire pit now?"

I suddenly realized that the second young master of the Ye family might have some intellectual disabilities. Otherwise, he would not have been fostered here for a long time, away from the domestic conflicts

I began to inflate my ego and my mind was in a state of turmoil, yet life is indeed precious, and dreams are even more valuable. In pursuit of following Wei Guangyin's footsteps, I chose a science and engineering major when I had to select my field of study. In fact, what I was truly interested in was a major related to literature. Therefore, unable to go to the United States, I surprised everyone by enrolling in the Chinese Department. ... I have imagined more than once in my mind about becoming a ...

Ye Shenxun did not take me to the hotel where we were to stay, but instead went directly to a separate villa. The lush green shade was blinding, and two young servants holding silver trays approached: "Sir"

... ... make some changes

As time passed, her QQ signature began to change to sentences reflecting the stirrings of springtime emotions. That roommate was the instigator who caused Liu Dazhuang's heart to break several times.

He led Ye Shenxing to the study, where the fully enclosed soundproof material alleviated the boy's fear. The other party curled up at his feet, reading a collectible comic of Transformers. Upon reaching the part where Optimus Prime left Earth, he suddenly recalled a joke that Cheng Gaigai had told, and thus raised his pale face: "Brother, has Chengcheng not returned yet"

Too impatient, not suitable for you

The boy, filled with curiosity, leaned in closer, his long eyelashes fluttering, and a pair of innocent eyes resembling the salt flats of Bolivia, untouched by pollution

After all, when one is under the same roof, in order to express friendliness, I took the initiative to strike up a conversation. He took a step back while holding the Bumblebee Transformer in his arms, his shoulders instinctively flinching slightly, and his gaze darted around, perhaps in search of familiar faces.

At that time, he also had such bright and sparkling eyes, tugging at his sleeve, looking at himself. However, everyone else's time did not stop; only his was forever left at midnight when he was eight years old

I finally understand that what surged into my heart at that moment was an indescribable sense of destiny. It seemed to be giving me a warning: Cheng Gaigai, in this lifetime, no matter how much time you spend or how much effort you put into getting close to him, you will never find the right way. Because the bond between you is not strong enough to last a lifetime.

"Is something wrong? Please reply to me as soon as you see this message, I am very worried."

The expression of hair crying: "What a pity, I was still saying I could introduce him to you." I was lost in thought for a long time, and she immediately sent another smiley face, "However, he also attended the economic summit you participated in yesterday. Their finance department's mentor was also on the invitation list, and the student accompanying him was responsible for recording and photography. You must have seen him by chance? How was he? Very outstanding, right..." Their finance department's mentor was also on the invitation list, and the student accompanying him was responsible for recording and photography. You must have seen him by chance? How was he? Very outstanding, right...

Ye Shenxing is most afraid of thunder, and suddenly rushes to Ye Shenxun's side, leaning against him, displaying a behavior akin to that of a three-year-old child, with a level of dependence comparable to that of a father. The saying "an elder brother is like a father" is not without its rationale.

I was just hungry all day, coupled with a bad mood, and on top of that...! ... Forget it, isn't it already embarrassing enough!

One of the young Japanese girls pointed towards the side door and said in English, "I just noticed a particularly handsome Chinese boy, who seems to be in charge of photography"

This residence is not under Ye Shenxun's name; it was purchased using the identity of a local resident to avoid exposure to ill-intentioned adversaries, and even his family is completely unaware. On this trip, he did not follow the original plan of taking Cheng Gaigai to the hotel, but rather acted on a spontaneous question-and-answer session on the plane. He does not engage in uncertain matters, and even though the person recommended by Zhou Ying was someone he wanted to test, he did not expect her response to exceed his expectations, even aligning with the little figure in his memory. He does not engage in uncertain matters, and even though the person recommended by Zhou Ying was someone he wanted to test, he did not expect her response to exceed his expectations, even aligning with the little figure in his memory.

The reaction was quite swift, yet I stood with my hands behind my back, shaking my head: "No, no, this is not the main reason for their departure"

When will you return to your home country

His elder brother was answering a phone call by the window, and I did not notice. When I turned my head, Ye Shenxun had already hung up the phone, having presumably just heard me mention the word "heartbreak." As he walked over, his expression surprisingly bore a hint of pity.

Having lived in a communal environment, I have my own methods for dealing with children. They do not require adult-style lectures, nor do they need you to lower yourself to please them; they simply hope to share common interests with you

Ye Shenxun changed into plain clothes and happened to witness this scene

Amidst the swirling heat, he wore a black robe, his silhouette enveloped by the hazy warmth, his thin lips slightly pursed, lost in thought.

Hmm

Due to the arrangement, Ye Shenxun rarely had a few days of leisure. He sat in the lobby on the first floor reading the newspaper, and inadvertently raised his eyes, just in time to catch a glimpse of Ye Shenxing rushing into the house while hugging a Transformer from the yard.

Regarding the matter of recognizing a bed, I learned about it on the day I first arrived at the Ye residence in Philadelphia. Uncertain as to why Ye Shenxun brought me into his private domain, I curiously inquired with the servant. The young servant, unsure of how to respond, could only reply: "It seems that the gentleman recognizes the bed."

The economic terminology in English still poses too much difficulty for me. I spent nearly two sleepless nights memorizing them, just to make myself appear somewhat professional. The night before the summit, having never encountered such a grand occasion, I experienced some insomnia. During this time, I went downstairs to get some water and encountered Ye Shenxun making coffee.

I ... ...

Just ?
