C122 Escape

The relationship with O'Jia Rui had entered the Ice Age because of a painting by Meng Shuzhen.

For the past four days, the two of us hadn't spoken a word to each other. I could slightly understand the complex feelings of Ojira, just as I was experiencing a storm in my heart. I didn't know how to deal with the current deadlock rather than get angry over what I had done.

"It's already your fifth day at home. Are you really not bored?" Finally, on the morning of the fifth day, as I watched the decadent silence of the day, I couldn't take it anymore and knocked on my door before going to work to have breakfast with me.

I washed my face in frustration. Without changing out of my furry Panda pajamas, I followed Ojiara down the stairs to the dining room in my slippers.

"This Mason is really interesting. Before you two met, your pajamas were that kind of plain and plain, but now they're so cute every day." As she talked, she tugged at the ears of the panda on my nightgown.

I yawned. "I just found out that these furry pajamas are warm and soft, much more comfortable than the ones I used to like. So I bought some with Mason." I tried to keep a neutral attitude when I faced Ojairi.

"Right, regardless of whether it's expensive or not, comfort is the most important." It seemed to be said to me, but it also seemed to be said to me.

I ate toast at the kitchen table and drank juice. The most amazing thing was that I was in a trance with my eyes closed all the time.

I thought it was probably because the relationship between us had been reconciled, but what O'Ciaran hadn't realized yet was that in my heart, he was getting more and more distant.

I can't even remember how many days have passed since I started to eat, drink, sleep, and occasionally look at things to get rid of my boredom. I feel like an animal on the verge of hibernation, completely uninterested in anything, depressed all day long.

According to the inexperienced but very old Mason, I look very much like a young woman who has lost her footing after falling in love.

"Today, do you want to eat or go shopping or meet your other classmates or friends? If you stay at home and don't move, I'm afraid that you will feel bored and get sick." Ochira kindly advised me.

I nodded. "Alright, I'll stay at Mason's house for a few days. It can be considered as a change of environment. Wait for me. I'll change my clothes. You can drop me off at her apartment when you go to work." I didn't wait for O'Jia Rui to say no before I hurried upstairs to wash up and get dressed.

The so-called real game is probably when you have the courage to leave the house without putting on makeup when you see this friend of yours. It's exactly how I look right now. I casually took out two sets of clothes from the closet, put them on, washed my face and then went downstairs.

"Let's go, otherwise I won't be able to get in again when Maysan goes to Ou Family." I almost dragged O'Jia Rui out.

"Don't be anxious, first tell me when you plan to return home. I'll tell you that what I regret the most this year is that I broke the rules and recruited Mason into the European design department. What I regret the most is that I arranged a place for her to stay so close to, and when I have time, I will definitely give her a place to stay." Ojira's eyes narrowed dangerously.

From the looks of it, it seemed that if I didn't say what I wanted today, he wouldn't be able to drive away in a minute or two. I could only honestly reply, "Can I have it for at most a week?"

"Three days." Ochira and I bargain.

I held out my hand. "A fixed price, six days. No bargaining."

Ou Jia Rui compromised: "Five days."

"Deal."

Sometimes, I could be considered a passable person, thinking that hiding for a day was a day. Although on the surface, I was still able to calmly chat and laugh with Ou Jia Rui, but I'm probably the only one who knows, that whenever I think about the series of recent events that happened, I will be instantly drowned in sadness.

My life in Mason's house was the easiest. I didn't have to worry about anyone's eyes, just cried and laughed whenever I wanted to, and it would be much easier if I couldn't see Ojira.

"What have you been busy with recently? I haven't heard anything from you." One day, as usual, I was sitting on the sofa, eating fruit and reading Missan's art books when I suddenly received Zhao Yuhao's WeChat.

Originally, I didn't want to reply, but felt that it wasn't very polite. Thinking about it, Zhao Yuhao wasn't an outsider either. I honestly asked, "You should know what happened to me recently, right?"

"I know, is there anything I can help you with?" Zhao Yuhao practically replied in an instant.

I replied without hesitation, "It looks like there aren't any. Recently, I have been wasting my life. I was just fooling around waiting for my death so I wasn't busy with anything."

This time, it was a voice transmission. Zhao Yuhao's tone was filled with ridicule: "Oh, just a false accusation and you're already defeated. This doesn't seem to be the Zhou Xinyao that I know. How much longer do you plan on being crippled?"

I purposely concealed from Zhao Yuhao some things that I didn't want others to know, such as the fact that Ou Jingyi never framed me for copying and dropping out of school, but rather, I believed that in Ou Jia Rui's heart, Meng Shu Ju had always held a decisive place. During these few days of idle time, the words that Madam Ou had said before had once again begun to play back unceasingly in my mind.

"It can't be considered as decadent. I just want to take this opportunity to take a break and think about what I want." I found a good reason for my depression and escapism.

Zhao Yuhao was a smart person, he shouldn't have been fooled by my words, he just didn't want to expose me, "It's no fun to rest at home alone, come out and take a walk, I'll take you to a fun place."

After fleeing from reality for a long time and not going out for a long time, I was a little tempted. I felt that I really needed some interesting things to stimulate me. After all, my recent condition was really too depressing.

"Fine, but can I go out without makeup? I'm too lazy to clean myself up."

"No problem, we'll go and carve them naturally. Hibiscus came out of the clear water."

When I saw Zhao Yuhao, I wore a windbreaker that covered almost my ankles. I simply washed my face, tied up my hair, and went out. Zhao Yuhao stared at my face for a long time.

I felt a little guilty, "What's wrong? Don't tell me I haven't washed my face clean. I met a lot of people on the way here by taxi. Just now, your secretary was nodding at me with a smile. I wondered why she had such a weird smile." I hurriedly grabbed my phone to look at my face.

Zhao Yuhao came back to his senses. "Nothing dirty. I just didn't know that you were so good-looking when you had a pure face."

After being together for so long, I had never seen the picky Zhao Yuhao praise any girl's looks before. For a moment, my entire body felt a little unnatural, as I pretended to casually find a sofa to sit on in Zhao Yuhao's office. "Where are you bringing me to play?"

"I opened a cat coffee shop. I thought you would like it. Do you want to go play with me?" Zhao Yuhao looked like an experienced player in the wind and moon arena, and was very familiar with girls' preferences. Young girls would always be unable to resist the temptation of furry little animals like cats and dogs, and I was no exception.

I had been fond of cats since I was young. It's just that at that time, living under others' roof was a big problem for me. Grandfather and Uncle definitely wouldn't give me the chance to have a pet. After growing up with an independent economy, the burden of living became even heavier, so there was even less opportunity.

Cat Curry is located on a street in a coffee bar not far from the Zhao Corporation's building. It is a gathering place for the white-collar employees of the companies in the nearby business circles. As we are very close to it, Zhao Yuhao and I simply walked over.

"Why didn't I say that you had this business before?" I was excited all the way.

Zhao Yuhao somewhat bashfully smiled, "Hai, this is nothing. This is the shop that I started when I was still in university, and cats are the best at reducing stress. At that time, my brain was just a bit hot, but I didn't expect that after all these years, it was able to hold on, and the turnover also seems to be pretty good."

It had to be said that Zhao Yuhao's sharp eye for investment was truly admirable. There were white-collar workers working under a lot of pressure nearby, and at the same time, there was a wide market that pursued life and interest.

The manager was pleasantly surprised to see me and this elusive boss. "Boss, your reception room and lounge are being cleaned by someone else every day."

"Hmm, bring a few tame kittens in. This lady should also be a fanatical cat slave." It's not my first time coming to a place like Cat's Coffee, but it's usually all the customers playing with Cat in the hall. Zhao Yuhao's words suddenly reminded me of another service industry, and I couldn't help but laugh.

In Zhao Yuhao's resting room, I would usually play around with various cute kittens while chatting with them. My mood was unprecedented, comfortable.

"Are you just going to keep on running?" Zhao Yuhao suddenly asked.

I paused for the blue cat on my lap and said, "No, it's just that I don't know what to do for now, and I haven't planned out what to do next." Normally, Zhao Yuhao seemed to be a sloppy person, but when it came to taking care of people, or perhaps playing tricks in a shopping mall, he was always an intelligent person.

"Don't think about it yet, why don't you come to the Zhao Family's design department for an internship? I heard that Miss Ou Jingyi is also in the Ou Family's design department. I'm afraid it will be difficult for the two of you to work together." I didn't expect Zhao Yuhao to know more about this matter than I thought.

I depressingly replied, "We'll talk about it again. I haven't thought about it yet, but I feel that coming here to work is really weird."

I even thought for a moment, if I could, that I might just get away with it. Unfortunately, life has never given a person like me a chance to be confused.
