 Ji Manli rubbed again, making Bai Sheng straighten his back unconsciously, his body was extremely stiff. Slightly turned his face to look at her, his long eyelashes fluttered slightly, and his eyes were focused on the screen. She almost wanted to stretch out her finger, and slide it all the way down from her forehead, over that straight nose, her long-desired lips, until her perfectly shaped upside-down collarbone... She swallowed solemnly, and

put Turning her face away, she said unnaturally: "I... I'm a little tired, I'm going back to my room first."

Ji Manli turned to her in surprise: "What's the matter?" "

It's okay," Bai Sheng stood up, revealing A smile: "Don't take a rest too late, you are still a patient."

"Well... okay..." Ji Manli suddenly lost a place to snuggle, feeling a little empty in her heart, watching Bai Sheng leave the living room, she He hugged his feet with both hands, as if trying to fill some emptiness.

I don't like this feeling, I don't like the feeling that she has withdrawn from her surroundings.

Facing the air and the incomparably gorgeous large LCD screen, Ji Manli sighed softly, did she depend too much on her. Obviously he knew that she shouldn't rely on her...

Bo Sheng walked back to his room slowly, and when he passed the laundry room, he caught a glimpse of the empty basket out of the corner of his eye, and turned around in surprise. Walking into the laundry room, I looked up and saw that the clothes I had hoarded for a long time were neatly hung on the poles like the flags of ten thousand flags. The clothes in the washing machine had obviously just been put down for washing not long ago, and it was only then that Bai Sheng realized that Ji Manli had dragged on for quite a while just to dry the clothes for her. Looking at her private clothes hung up high, Bai Sheng's face turned red. Even this kind of thing, Ji Manli actually took the initiative to dry it...

She hurried back to her room, as if she was afraid of being caught by anyone. See her embarrassment.

After turning on the computer, she quietly waited for the main screen to appear. Turning the chair around, looking at the large floor-to-ceiling windows in the room, he blinked. Against the backdrop of the bustling lights, the huge room looked a little lonely.

On the double bed, it can be clearly seen that only one pillow has traces of long-term use. The randomly crossed wooden strips are nailed to the wall, bringing a modern design with a sense of design. There are also some books, some potted plants, a few imitations that look different in style, and a few cups. Simple, yet orderly in chaos, just like Bo Sheng.

A small white refrigerator stands quietly under the shelf, blending in with the white wallpaper without being obtrusive. After Bai Sheng entered the password into the computer, he walked to the refrigerator and took out a can of white sparkling wine. Yes, there are colorful sparkling wines in the entire refrigerator.

Bo Sheng is not addicted to alcohol, but she likes the bubbles. She only kept this negative hobby for her in her own space, just like she buried the secret of liking Ji Manli deep in the depths. She didn't deliberately pretend to be introverted, but after she was afraid of showing off, she would lose what she had.

Just like before the new year more than ten years ago, the aluminum ring was pulled open with a bang, and she raised her head and took a sip.

At that time, she was wearing a thick padded jacket, took the plane with her mother, and arrived in France with a small suitcase in her hand. She knew that it was the place where her mother learned to cook, and it was the only place where she could see her father. Before going to kindergarten, she always stayed at home with the nanny and lived a carefree life every day. Her mother bought her crayons, toys, and even let her have a puppy, which she called Chocolate, a German shepherd.

Bo Sheng remembered that she liked to throw herself on Chocolate and hug her neck when Chocolate was lying on the ground, but the big dog with a fierce appearance never got angry, and just stuck out its tongue to lick her.

There is no TV in her home, only some books, the books her mother uses for cooking. She knew that her mother was a chef. According to the nanny, she was also the head chef in a five-star hotel. She knows that it is not easy for a woman to become a chef, and the meals her mother cooks are always delicious. Of course, it's not just the main meal, her mother will also take her to make desserts and bake cookies.

Occasionally, she would meet up with the children of the next-door neighbors, all of whom were well-dressed in an upscale housing complex. Whenever Bo Sheng saw those children always had a man holding their little hands, he would feel lonely in his heart. Why didn't she?

Why do you always have to go to France before the Chinese New Year to see your father?

She used to like her father very much. He was a tall man in a suit and leather shoes. He was very good-looking. Whenever Bai Sheng saw him standing with his mother, he felt that there was no more beautiful couple in the world than them.

Every year when she went back to France, her father would pick her up and ask her with a gentle smile what gift she wanted.

And Bai Sheng's request every year, he also agreed one by one.

When they were eight years old, they returned to France, and this time, her father asked her what she wanted.

She stretched out her small hands, giggling, pinching her father's rough face.

My father said she was a little princess, so he often sent her many beautiful dresses back.

She stared at her father with her beautiful light brown eyes, and said excitedly: "I hope my father can come back and live with us!"

She never forgot that time when the man didn't say yes as usual, but only showed a wry smile.

Then, the following year, they did not return to France.

A woman with many bodyguards came outside her house and started shouting as if she was not afraid of losing face.

At that time, Bai Sheng remembered that his mother was shaking so badly that he held her in his arms and called the guard.

It was that year that she knew that she was an existence that was not allowed.

Besides her, the man and the woman had another pair of twins, who were two years younger than her.

Only then did Bo Sheng realize that the world can be so absurd.

But what she hated the most was not that man, but her own mother. She hated her mother's deception and her forbearance. But she can't really hate her, isn't her mother pitiful?

Bai Sheng never quarreled with his mother because of this matter, nor did he humiliate his mother.

Because she understands that even if the whole world hates her mother and looks down on her, she will be the only one who supports her, because her mother loves her.

Bai Sheng clicked on the group chat with old friends, thought for a while, and finally typed only three words: "Good evening."

After a while, the three old friends rushed to reply.

"Hi!"

"It's been a long time."

"What's the matter?"

Bai Sheng knew that the three of them would always pay attention to this group, because they paid attention to her, and it felt good to be cared about. She narrowed her eyes slightly, took a deep breath, and typed out a line: "Ji Manli is at my house now." As soon as the words came

out, it was like a bomb being thrown, and it exploded upon impact.

The three old friends instantly became excited.

"What!!?? Is this the realm of being abducted at home?? Didn't you just say something to me a few weeks ago and dare not confess? Didn't you still look like you wanted to die? Why did you come home today ahhhhhhhhhh Ah, Bosheng, you are a big liar who hides so deep!!" Shao Lu incidentally clicked a "You cheated my feelings" dynamic sticker.

"Oh, very good." Still as calm as a birch.

"Take it home? Did something happen, why is it at your house?" Qi Xuan asked suspiciously, trying to analyze the situation.

"Being harassed by her ex-girlfriend, she went to live at a friend's house and had a fever and the friend couldn't take care of her." Bai Sheng explained the situation concisely.

"Don't you take this opportunity to develop the next step!!" Shao Lu looked very excited: "It's finally home! The moon is dark and the wind is high, no one is around, orphans and widows!"

"That's right, it's a good opportunity."

"Well, I think it's feasible!"

Seeing the three of them advocating their confession again, Bo Sheng sighed inwardly.

"No, it's unlikely..."

She didn't dare to admit it, she was deeply afraid that once she confessed, she would be like the winter more than ten years ago, gaining nothing, and even losing the beauty she had now.

"Here it goes again, look at you, you keep saying it's impossible without even trying it!"

Shao Lu rolled his eyes behind the screen, but it's a pity that Bai Sheng couldn't see it.

Bai Sheng took a deep breath and typed a few more words.

"Shao Lu, you know, I'm afraid of losing."

Shao Lu didn't reply, and she directly dialed Bai Sheng.

"I really can't stand it anymore! I thought you were talking about this matter in the group because you wanted us to help you figure out how to confess, but now you still say you don't dare to confess!" After answering the phone, Shao Lu's distraught

voice Then it came from the microphone, which made Bai Sheng's eardrums hurt.

Shao Lu's mood changed very quickly, she knew it all along, so she was not surprised by Shao Lu's anger.

"Shao Lu..."

"Why don't you dare!" Shao Lu said: "Everyone is afraid of losing! I am also afraid, and I have lost it too, but if you don't try, it doesn't mean you won't lose it. Obviously you will You know that if you don't confess earlier, you will feel even more sad if she is with someone else, don't you?"

"Shao Lu..." Hearing Shao Lu's crying voice, Bai Sheng felt something was wrong in his heart, and asked softly: "What are you doing? Is it?"

"It's okay, she's back, but it's not important." Shao Lu said, showing that he didn't want to say more, and then continued to persuade Bo Sheng: "Oh, Bo Sheng, no matter how miserable it is, it won't be as miserable as mine. Now tell me why the name of your store is called midnight."

"What..." Bai Sheng couldn't understand Shao Lu's request.

"Tell me why the name of the store is Twelve Midnight! You said it before, don't tell me you forgot!" "

Twelve midnight..." Bo Sheng stretched back a little wearily: "Because Cinderella At twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, she will turn into the original dirty look, so...at that time, she has to leave, because she is afraid of being seen by the prince...even the desire to get close to him ..."

"It's Cinderella," Shao Lu said, "How do you know that the prince only loves crystal shoes and gorgeous dresses, and you've tried your best to get close, isn't it just to get something in return? Although twelve o'clock in the middle of the night represents This means that you will return to your original appearance, but it also means that you can meet honestly, doesn't it?"

"I..."

"Because you are good enough, so there is no need to be afraid at all, okay?" Shao Lu's firm voice came through the microphone Come over: "Cinderella finally put on the crystal glass slipper and showed her identity. Twelve midnight is just an opportunity for the prince to continue to pursue her. But if Cinderella never tries to wear the crystal glass slipper for the rest of her life Xie, who would know that she is the most dazzling princess?"

"..." Bai Sheng stopped talking.

"So Bo Sheng, if you keep silent, she won't know that you are enough to be the brightest light in her life."

Enough to be that one, an irreplaceable existence in her life.
