"Seven years." Harry thought. It was at the beginning of college that he met Yoyo. At that time, she was still a girl in jeans, sneakers and lovely hoodies.

There were almost no girls in the computer science department at the time, and Yoyo was the only one in his class. Almost all the boys followed her around.

Harry went out of his way to work hard and had his father ask high-tech talents to teach him, so that he could get the first place in exams every time and attract Yoyo’s attention.

But Yoyo was the very person who loved learning very much. Every time she talked to Harry, she only asked questions. But over time, they became very close.

There were little girls in the computer science department, and Yoyo didn’t particularly close with anyone else. Thus she was always with Harry.

In this way, they spent their college life peacefully as close friends. During the four years, every time Harry tried to show his mind to Yoyo, he choked back. He knew that if he said it out and Yoyo refused, their relationship might not be the same as before. So, Harry guarded her side like a brother.

During the four years of college, due to the outstanding appearance and mild character, Yoyo attracted many of the house men in the Department. They adored her as a goddess, and many of them wanted to express themselves to Yoyo.

But every time Harry got the news, he immediately stopped it and completely cut off Yoyo’s opportunities to interact with other boys. But he dared not to express himself to Yoyo.

However, Yoyo finally spent four years of College peacefully under his protection. Originally, just graduated from university, he would take over Wende, so he tried his best to persuade Yoyo to choose Wende for work. Then he’ll get his father’s training, and when became Wende’s president, he’ll go to her confession.

Nevertheless, it never occurred to him that Yoyo suffered such a thing while he was still training. It disrupted all his plans. Nick’s appearance made him embarrassed. Harry was standing behind Yoyo, but he felt that the person in front of him had pushed him thousands of miles away.

He had been with Yoyo for seven years, and now, Yoyo’s children were already one and a half years old.

Harry suddenly strode forward, hugging Yoyo’s thin shoulders from behind.

It did startle Yoyo. The next second Harry had lifted her from the chair and laid her gently on the bed.

The smell of her body immediately filled Harry’s nose, and the desire he had endured for years filled his brain. Her blood was about to devour him, just like flowing magma. He lowered his head and kissed Yoyo.

The kiss was fierce but humble, as if he were telling his appeal, as if he were asking for a result.

Yoyo’s tears burst in an instant. She knew that it was unfair for Harry to do so. It was her revenge, but the man dropped everything and followed her without any regrets.

If it hadn’t been for Harry, she would have died in that broken warehouse.

Perhaps, she should give him a result. But now she was broken, she just couldn’t put anyone else in the heart at this time. It was Harry who protected her, all the time. She hadn’t seen Harry like this for seven years. He had always been the big brother, helping her to learn, to solve problems. But now, the big brother held her in the arms and kneeled on the bed.

His kiss was not that aggressive. It was like waiting for Yoyo’s response. Yoyo lost herself in thought. She had no idea whether to reply and she didn’t know her feeling about Harry exactly. Am I into him, or just feel grateful and sorry?

Harry seemed to be impatient. Suddenly, he put his hand on Yoyo’s shoulder and tried to stir her collar.

Yoyo trembled with her eyes closed slightly. She didn’t mean to accept Harry but just couldn’t bear to refuse. In her mind, she had been ruined by Nick. And she would never fall in love with anyone else. When Nick treated her as a slave, Yoyo felt that she lost the right to love. If it could comfort Harry with this body, that’s worthy.

Tears burst out. Harry softly took off her clothes, and her thin shoulders came out. Yoyo held her breath, but Harry suddenly stopped and pulled her clothes back.

What he saw from Yoyo was neither consent nor acceptance, but a self-abandoning compromise. He stopped and refrained from tears. "Take a rest."

He jumped out of bed and turned away, closing the door of the room.

Yoyo couldn’t support her body at once and fell down on the bed, wrapping herself with soft quilt. Finally, tears came rushing right to her eyes, she let out a cry. For two years, she never cried like this, with her chest twitched and voice turned hoarse.

Tired of crying, she slid back under the soft quilt, curled up to sleep, which was like seeking comfort, with tears slid down from the cheek and disappeared in the pillow.

Harry leaned against the door, listening to the fading cry in the room. He sank to the ground

He slapped himself in the face. How can I do that?

Since Yoyo came back, intimate contact had become her taboo. If he didn’t stop, Yoyo would remember those terrible past, thus he would become a monster like Nick!

It was not long before Yoyo woke up. She changed her clothes, drew a faint brown eye shadow to cover her crying eyes, and went out with the prepared information.

"Let me give you a ride." Harry sat up quickly from the sofa as he heard the sound. He worried that Yoyo would escape from him, so eager to wait for her response now.

"Well, that’s good." Yoyo replied, as if nothing had happened.

Sitting in the car, Harry was driving, and in order to defuse embarrassment, Yoyo opened the documents and kept reading. In fact, she couldn’t be more familiar with those words. As if the oxygen in the car had been pumped away, both of them even breathed carefully.

"Well, I’ll be in the parking lot." Harry tried to calm, but his heart was about to pop out of his chest.

Yoyo just nodded and got out of the car.

It was like God’s blessing, the application of Yoyo’s studio went successfully.

"Let’s eat out tonight." Harry suggested that they always ate at home, or they were both busy, seldom got the chance to eat together. Here came the chance.

"You decide." Yoyo changed back to what she used to be, replying with a little word.

Harry and Yoyo were sitting opposite each other. There was soft violin music in the dining room. Warm lights made delicate food look more appetizing. Yoyo’s hair was even more attractive under the warm light above her head.

After a glass of red wine, they felt much better. They looked at each other and smiled. Years of understanding made they know each other very well. Let it go and lived as before.

"Here’s to you, my closest friend, family!" Yoyo raised her glass and smiled, with a dimple on her face. The dimple could be said a surprise after the surgery.

"Well, my closest friend, my family!" Although Harry put down some stones in his heart, the words still made him lose hope. Anyway, he was willing to accompany Yoyo, no matter what she did. He would always be her side.

Nick arranged new jobs for those who came back from America. But through his observation, he found that these technicians did not have a good team spirit. They usually studied respectively, and their work efficiency was very low. It was not as efficient as it said. Even their research was not that innovative, just stayed in the same place.

Nick got furious about that. He put so much time and money to bring them back, but got nothing in return.

"Find the reason!" Nick’s was getting more and more irritable. Work was his life. There were more and more clothes in his office wardrobe, but less in his house. He spent most of his time at work every day. As long as he left the working place, he even didn’t know what to do, and his mood was becoming more and more unstable.

The manager who came back from the United States was shocked by Nick’s temper and told him the truth.

"In fact, someone carried these people before, but she already resigned."

"How dare she? Can’t you work without one person? Such a poor team!" Nick was furious; his tone raised a lot, which shook the window.

"That’s because she decided all the projects and everyone in the team followed her..." The manager was trembling with fear, afraid of losing his job.

"Give me all her information! Right now!"

The manager rushed to find the information.
