C127 Because I like You

The moment Ou Jia Rui walked into the room, I, whose sense of smell had become more sensitive after being deprived of sight due to the darkness, smelt an extremely strong alcohol smell. It seems that Ou Jia Rui had gone to borrow alcohol to worry about me.

He came over and said nothing. He just stood there quietly, but my back was to him.

After a long time, so long that I even had the illusion that he had already left, I suddenly felt a depression in the bed beside me. O'Jia Rui lay down, and her arm hung in the air for a long time.

The weather had turned cold, and B City was a northern city. The night after autumn was extremely cold. Although the temperature in the house was controlled appropriately, without cotton, no matter how strong one was, they would not be able to survive the long night. I was still wondering if I should continue pretending to be asleep or just wake up and give half of the quilt to O'Jia Rui.

Just as I was thinking about this, O'Jia Rui sighed and got up from the bed and left my room.

I slept through the night until dawn, when I heard the faint sound of servants preparing breakfast downstairs. Even when the bright sunlight shone through the window onto my bed, I didn't feel the least bit sleepy.

When he got out of bed to wash up, he noticed that his eyes were red and swollen, with a ring of thick black circles under his eyes. It seemed like he hadn't slept for the whole night.

When he walked downstairs, he found that Ou Jia Rui was also sitting at the dining table. There was already a burst of fragrance coming from the kitchen. It seemed to be the Snow Pear Silver Ear Soup. Uncle Lin was really efficient.

The moment I saw Ou Jia Rui, I wanted to turn around and go back upstairs and wait for her to eat breakfast before coming back down, but coincidentally, Ou Jia Rui just happened to raise her head. "You woke up, why did you go back? Aren't we having breakfast together?" It was as if the fierce argument between us yesterday had never happened.

"Oh, okay." I walked slowly down the stairs.

"How was your sleep?" The question made me secretly roll my eyes. From the looks of it, I seemed to be sleeping well, but on the surface, I still said lightly, "Not bad."

After breakfast, Ou Jia Rui was still wearing the same clothes and didn't seem to want to leave. She followed me to the sofa in the middle of the living room and sat with me. I looked at the tablet computer for a while, but I still couldn't bear the pain and asked, "Why aren't you going to work yet?"

"I'm not going to work this morning. Our problem is not solved yet." He was dressed in a dark gray housecoat, and his usual sharpness and sharpness were well concealed. Compared to yesterday's suit and tie, I was more willing to get close to him and talk to him.

"Yes." I lowered my head to play with the buttons of my nightgown and said nothing.

"Are you calm now? Can we have a good talk?" Ou Jia Rui asked patiently.

"Yes." I still only responded with one word.

Ou Jia Rui took a deep breath, and looked as if she had just prepared a lot of words to say: "Yesterday, discrediting Zhao Yuhao like that was my mistake. I admit that I was very overbearing, had the desire, and even hoped for your happiness, and your little temper is something that only I can see. To be honest, it's not because the two of you were filmed enough to make me lose tens of thousands of dollars, but because I'm so jealous that you two would almost lose your rationality."

"But we just have a meal together. Speaking of which, you and Ou Jingyi ate together, traveled together, and lived together for a longer period of time. Also, we're even closer, right?" I retorted. Although the content was still sharp, my tone was no longer as forceful as it was yesterday.

The reason why I was able to openly doubt Ou Jia Rui and have him was because no matter what kind of good impression Zhao Yuhao once showed me, I always treated him as a friend, so I had a clear conscience.

Ou Jia Rui laughed and ruffled my hair, such an intimate action seemed to have not happened for a long time, "I'm different from Jingjing, I've never treated her as a person of the opposite sex that can develop, I've always treated her as a junior, a child."

I blurted out, "Then what about Ou Jingyi's mother, why did you raise a girl who is not related by blood at all? Don't tell me that it's because of fraternity, as far as I know, Ou family invests in scientific research every year, I don't know that you're investing in an orphanage." My harshness was a sign of my concern.

"That was a long time ago, there's no point in pursuing it now. No matter what the original purpose of raising her at the beginning, I'm only taking care of her now out of responsibility and morality."

Actually, I already knew that Meng Shuzhen was an extremely special existence to Ou Jia Rui. After all, the first love was an unforgettable memory for everyone, but after witnessing Ou Jia Rui's unnatural behavior when she mentioned Meng Shuzhen, I still felt more sad than I had expected.

"Then now, can you accept that I'm a bit selfish? No matter who you meet in the future, do you remember that you're Ou Jia Rui's wife? Can you make me less jealous and less angry?" But I still don't want to appreciate the concern about Meng Shuzhen.

I lowered my head and said, "Without Zhao Yuhao, there will be others in the future. If that's the case, can it be that I'll have to report to you about some matter that I need to discuss with my male friends, male teachers, male classmates, or male colleagues in the future?"

After being choked by my words for a long time, she finally resigned herself to fate and said, "Sigh, it's my fault. I shouldn't have restricted your freedom, I shouldn't have taken care of you in the name of taking care of you, but instead I've been controlling your matters. Can you forgive me?"

Even though I purposely dodged, Ojira still tried to look me in the eye. If I didn't know that there was a history between him and Meng Shuzhen, I would have already been deeply immersed in that deep feeling and sincerity in my eyes.

"Alright, I understand." I still maintained a cold attitude, which made even Ou Jia Rui at a loss of what to do.

"Then can you calm down? Can't you just go home and live there? Not a single mistress in this family has become ice-cold, unlike a single family. I don't even want to come back." Ochjarui stretched out her arms, as if wanting me to take the initiative and go over and give him a hug.

I hesitated for a long time. Deep in my heart, I longed for this hug, but my heart was filled with resentment towards Meng Shuzhen. After about two minutes had passed, Ou Jia Rui had remained in that position with her arms open, unmoving.

His arms were broad and warm, and he didn't know much about luxury. I didn't know what brand of perfume he used, but it was surprisingly fresh and fragrant.

Then, I said something that neither Ou Jia Rui nor I had expected to come out from my mouth. This might have been the bravest decision I had ever made in my 20 years of life. I said, "I said so much, I mind if you interfere in my life. I mind your possessiveness. I mind the existence of Ou Jingyi, but none of these are the most important things."

His deep, magnetic voice rang in my ear, and as he spoke, he breathed out warm air that sprayed into my ear and the back of my neck, disturbing my heartbeat. "Then what exactly do you care about?" He spoke with a slight nasal note, like the sound of an elegant cello.

"To tell the truth, I don't even have the right or the right to say such words, because from the very beginning, you and I were a kind of sad and impoverished person and a merciful redeemer. I should have extended my hand to help you when I was at my lowest, but I shouldn't have made those useless demands on you." The more I talked, the more depressed I became.

"From now on, don't say anything like that again. I was only willing to help you, and after we got married, I was even more willing to help you. You gave me a sense of peace and happiness that I had never felt before in my life, and I happily accepted it."

"Is that so?" I was very suspicious of Ou Jia Rui's words. I didn't know how a depressed me could give a high-spirited Ou Jia Rui a sense of relief.

"It's true. It's even more true than real gold." Ou Jia Rui continued to ask, "So what are you concerned about? What do I have that makes you unhappy? I can correct it at any time, it's true."

It sounded like I was answering an irrelevant question, but Ou Jia Rui was listening to me earnestly: "It's weird. When I first met you, I thought you were as hateful as Ou Jingyi and Lin Qian. I even thought that you were the culprit behind my misfortune like them, but no matter what, you broke into my life so suddenly."

"Well, what happened next? Did my appearance give you a lot of trouble?"

"At first." "But later, I'll find that I'm getting used to eating with you, working as your assistant in your company, following you out of places I didn't even qualify for before, and even being taken on a trip, which I find more and more appropriate."

"Just adapting?" Ochjaru asked me tentatively.

"No, it's not just adapting. To protect myself, I will brainwash myself again and again, saying that we are people from different worlds, and the reason why you helped me is just because of compassion …"

"No, it's because I like you very much, whether it's going to change or become deeper in the future, but I'm happy to have you here right now." I was afraid that I would misunderstand his feelings.
