October.

South-facing airport.

Flights arriving from New York landed.

Lin Mi set foot on the land of the motherland that she had been away from for eight years.

It rained heavily the night before, and the wet smell came to my face and the temperature was slightly cool.

Lin Mi took a deep breath, and the familiarity that had been engraved into his bones was activated.

There was a long queue in the taxi waiting area outside the airport, and the sun was dazzling. Lin Mi put on ink sunglasses, revealing only her bright red lips and delicate jaws.

She wore a long black dress with a hollow design on her back and a beautiful bow tied around her waist. Her black hair was straight and long and scattered, covering the large snow-white patches behind her.

Even if you can't see your eyes, it will not hinder her beauty and become the focus of everyone's attention.

When she was queuing, the airport administrator who assisted in line did not command passengers to get on the bus as before, but instead helped her to carry her suitcase to the trunk of the taxi.

It seemed that she was used to the convenience brought by her appearance. Her attitude was neither flattered nor particularly cold. She curled her lips and chuckled, and said 'Thank you'.

After more than ten hours of flight and the time difference, Lin Mi was a little depressed.

Her eyes turned out the window, the autumn wind was rustling, and the leaves of the street trees were withered and yellow, falling down, as if she was not very welcome to come back.

No one knew that she had returned to China, and no one needed to inform her.

After studying abroad in the second semester of her second year of high school, she broke off contact with everyone in China, but she had no friends at all.

Including Lin Mi's parents, they were originally together in business marriages. In addition to giving her material satisfaction, they were much more stingy.

-

After returning to China, Lin Mi lived in a high-end community in the city, not far from the Union Hospital, which was where she would work in the future.

Enter the initial password, the electronic door opens, and the apartment is decorated in a standard, simple European style, with a cold feeling and no popularity.

Lin Mi casually kicked off her high heels at the door, threw her luggage aside, and was so tired that she didn't want to do anything. She fell into the sofa, and her white and slender legs were placed on the coffee table.

Outside the large floor-to-ceiling windows on the living room is a colorful night view of the city.

The tall buildings are lined up one after another, and it looks no different from New York City.

Lin Mi stared at one point, her vision lost focus, her mind was empty, as if she was thinking nothing.

I can't figure out why she came back, it's the same wherever she is.

My stomach roared.

Still a little different.

At least the food in China is much better than that in New York.

-

A fresh food supermarket one kilometer away from the community.

Lin Mi pushed the cart and wandered around aimlessly, preparing to buy some ingredients to go back.

She has always been very picky. After years abroad, she has not eaten dishes that suit her appetite, so she can only cook by herself and unknowingly she has developed a skill in cooking.

However, due to the limitations of various ingredients and seasonings, we cannot make any authentic Chinese food, so we can only barely make up.

Now that I finally came back, Lin Mi’s primary goal is to satisfy her stomach.

Because this day is a working day, there are not many people in the supermarket and it is deserted.

A pregnant woman stood in the dairy area, next to her, a little girl of seven or eight years old, holding a toy and playing with.

It seemed that she wanted to buy the milk shelves on the top of the shelf, but because she was wearing flat shoes and a big belly, it was very difficult and not enough.

Lin Mi saw it and helped her take the milk and hand it over.

"..." The pregnant woman was stunned for a moment, stared at her face and frowned, and then said thank you in a daze.

Lin Mi lowered her head and continued to look for the yogurt she wanted, and replied without caring, "You're welcome."

After finding the yogurt she wanted, she pushed the cart and continued walking in the daily necessities area. Her home is now empty and there are many daily necessities to buy.

The daily necessities area exudes a mixture of shampoos and soaps.

Lin Mi picked up a toothbrush and threw it into the cart.

I heard someone calling her name behind me.

She didn't look back, thinking that she was calling someone with the same name as her. After all, no one in China would know her.

Until someone gently patted his shoulder.

"Lin Mi?" a female voice asked uncertainly, "Are you Lin Mi?"

"..." Lin Mi frowned and instinctively resisted. She turned around and saw the pregnant woman just now.

She stared at the pregnant woman's face, her short hair that was overheard and ordinary, and it would be hard to have any impression if she hadn't been carrying a very expensive platinum bag in her hand and put it in the crowd.

As if she noticed her doubts, Chen Yiyi took the lead in speaking, "Don't you know me anymore? I was from the first-year high school art class."

"..." Lin Mi never wanted to touch on high school, let alone the person from the art class before.

She sank her face and said in a cold tone: "I don't know you."

Chen Yiyi seemed to feel unacceptable and didn't believe she would not remember her. She stroked her hair and continued to say reluctantly: "I used to dye my hair, but now my appearance has changed a little. Do you think about it?"

Lin Mi looked at her silently.

If it weren't for her erect belly blocking the cart, Lin Mi wouldn't have wanted to waste time listening to her.

Seeing that she didn't respond for a long time, Chen Yiyi explained with a little embarrassed and smiled dryly: "Actually, I shouldn't have greeted you, but I always feel that some things have to be faced."

She said to the little girl beside her: "Nannan, go and help your mother get a box of soap back."

The little girl nodded obediently and walked away.

Chen Yiyi looked at Lin Mi. Although many years have passed, she seems to have not changed much, with delicate facial features and cold eyebrows.

As beautiful as ever, it is jealous.

"..." She opened her mouth, as if she had been plucked up her courage, "When I was young and ignorant, I pretended to be him and asked you out."

Chen Yiyi used ‘he’ to refer to someone.

Even though she got married and had two children, the name was still hot and hard to say.

It seems like the past that was shameful and unbearable to look back at when I was young, so I can only avoid it in this way.

She paused for a moment, then hesitated, "Actually, I stole that painting."

"..." Lin Mi lifted her eyelids and looked at her.

Chen Yiyi continued: "He has never shown the painting to others. That painting was also what I saw when I flipped through his drawing board."

She thought for a while and added, "I haven't seen it for anyone else." She seemed to want to reduce her sin.

"When I look back now, I feel that I am really bad." Chen Yiyi smiled sarcastically.

I didn't understand before, but I became a perpetrator of campus violence without realizing it. When I grew up, I gradually realized how naive I was in the past.

She is now a mother and doesn't want her children to be treated like that.

In addition, Chen Yiyi is living a good life now, but this thing makes her feel that she is not open enough. She hopes to resolve this matter with Lin Mi and continue to be her clean and rich wife.

"Can you forgive me?" Chen Yiyi asked.

“…”

Lin Mi never spoke, just looked at her expressionlessly.

Seeing her expressing her desire to express herself, Chen Yiyi's tone was sincere and emotional, as if even she was moved by herself.

After a while.

Lin Mi said two words, "No."

Chen Yiyi didn't expect that she would apologize so humbly. Lin Mi's attitude was still as annoying as before, and her voice was discomfortable and contempt, as if she could never reach her.

"I have already apologized like this, what else do you want?" Chen Yiyi was a little annoyed. It was not a big deal. Even if she didn't get into it, she and Xia Jue would definitely not have gone to the end.

"I apologize, should I forgive me?"

Lin Mi pulled the corner of her mouth lightly and glanced at her.

Suddenly I lost the mood to buy things.

Without Chen Yiyi saying anything, Lin Misong opened his hand on the cart and stopped the goods inside, so he turned around and left.

-

On the way back.

Lin Mi is lost.

The supermarket is only one kilometer away from the community, but she has been wandering around for a long time.

She has a bad sense of direction, and even so she doesn't like to use navigation, and she doesn't like to find people to ask for directions. She just walks slowly and doesn't worry, as if she always finds a way.
To be continued...
