Chapter 27: A Brief Peace
"Twilight...... Twilight ...... Wake up and follow me......"
"You...... How...... Will it be here?"
"Don't worry about it so much, I'll take you away, there's a car outside the city, you just leave City C and never come back. ”
"What about you......"
"You don't have to worry about me......"
"I'm not leaving......"
"Stop making a fuss!
"I'm not leaving!"
In the early hours of the night, Twilight gasped and sat up from the bed, her forehead breaking out in cold sweat, and even panting heavily.
Twilight got up from the bed, grabbed her loose hair, and shuffled out of the bedroom in cotton slippers.
In the living room, Morin was lying on the sofa with a blanket reading a book, and when he saw Twilight come out, he immediately sat up and found a coat to put on her.
Shi Duluo lowered his head, filled a glass of water with a water glass, turned around and sat on the dining chair, and poured it down, finally calming down a little.
"Nightmare?" Morin fetched a glass of water, pulled a chair, sat down next to Twilight, and smoothed her back with his hand.
Twilight nodded, rubbing her face back and forth with her hands, taking deep breaths repeatedly, trying to get everything out of her head.
"I dreamed again...... He?" Morin looked at the state of twilight, and sighed deeply, his eyes full of distress.
"It has something to do with him......" Twilight finally recovered from her dream, but her voice was still weak and trembling, and she barely managed to squeeze out a smile and look at Merin.
"Hey......" Merlin shook his head, frowned, and was silent for a long time, watching Twilight ease his mood before he began to try to change the topic to attract her attention, "When you came back today, you seemed to be in a good mood, what happened to you?"
"This, ah......" The topic was successfully shifted, and Twilight suddenly laughed happily, blinked her eyes, and pretended to be mysterious, "I'm in love." ”
"What?!cough cough ......" Merlin nearly choked himself to death, coughing violently, while Twilight was snickering and patting Morin on the back with her hand.
"Hey, I'm not...... You...... Hey......" Mo Lin's brain was completely messed up, and he couldn't say a complete sentence for a long time, so he took a deep breath to stay calm, and summed up the language for a long time before he asked, "Yu Zhe?"
"Yes, yes, it's him. Twilight looked like she didn't care, giggling.
Mo Lin felt some pain in his cheeks for some reason, and he had just hit Yu Zhe a few hours ago.
"Didn't I tell you to keep your distance from him?!" Morin really didn't know what to say.
"Who told you to give him permission to take me to the bar today. Twilight pouted, but became dissatisfied.
"You can't blame me then!" Morin said with a pat on his thigh and a frown.
"Blame me~" Twilight shrugged her shoulders and opened her eyes wide to show her innocence,
"Hey...... I really can't talk about you......" Morin calmed down and talked about it rationally, "You...... Seriously. ”
Shi Duluo lowered his eyes, wrapped his hand around the ends of his hair, thought for a while, and suddenly raised his head and smiled evilly:
"Guess what~"
"Shhh Maureen poked Twilight's forehead with his hand and continued, "Tell me honestly, are you serious or for some other reason?"
This time, Twilight really lowered her head and remained silent, not knowing what she was thinking.
Morin sighed, he didn't plan to ask any further, Shi Duluo had a perverse personality, and in this state, he couldn't ask anything if he asked, but just when he was about to give up, he saw Shi Duluo suddenly and slowly said:
"In front of Ai Jun and Di Minglei, if the two of us behave very unfamiliarly, it will arouse suspicion, right?"
"What?" Morin was stunned for a moment, and then laughed helplessly, getting such an answer, he really didn't know whether to be happy or sad.
Twilight shook her head and spread her hands, indicating that it was time for this meaningless topic to end.
Morin put his hands on Shi Duluo's shoulders, looked at the girl in front of him carefully, combed her messy long hair with his hands, and instructed with a smile: "You think it through, when you are with him, pay attention to safety." ”
"Ann, la, la. Twilight waved her hand impatiently and said angrily, "If you really care about my safety, you shouldn't have taught me to lie and go out to the police! ”
"Eh, it's not like I didn't tell you, it's obvious that you don't ask anything. Morin felt very innocent when he said this, and quickly explained.
"Does it make sense? Twilight replied with a roll of her eyes.
"You're not right, when did I lie to you?" Morin was serious on the subject.
"Do you have less to lie to me?" Twilight narrowed her eyes, frowned, and glanced up and down at Merlin as if she wanted to see through all the secrets in him.
"Okay, okay, I won't fight with you. Maureen stepped back in his chair, avoiding Twilight's gaze, "Go back to sleep." ”
"You'd better go to sleep, I won't be able to sleep anyway. Twilight stood up and shoved Merlin towards the bedroom.
"Alright then, it's just tomorrow that I'm going to talk about business. Morin thought for a moment, nodded, and was about to close the door, but suddenly turned around and said, "Remember that bar, there are my acquaintances in it, if you get into trouble one day, you can go there." ”
"Ah, you watch me every day, how can I be in trouble, go to sleep" Twilight waved at Merlin until he closed the door.
Seeing Morin enter the door, Twilight finally sighed, covered her smile with sadness, dragged her steps and threw herself on the sofa, wrapped herself tightly with a blanket, and looked at the clock, it was almost one o'clock, and the night was really long.
A few hours later, early in the morning, Twilight and Yu Zhe arrived at the store early, and the day's business was about to start again.
After a few days of "precipitation", the number of customers in the store has gradually stabilized, and it is no longer as hot as before, but it is not deserted.
"Isn't Mo Lin coming today?" Yu Zhe was a little strange, according to normal times, Mo Lin would not let him be alone with Shi Duluo no matter what, and he would inevitably follow him down to open a shop, but today he disappeared, it didn't look like his style.
He said he was going to talk about business and left early in the morning. Shi Duluo half-leaned on the table and looked at Yu Zhe with a smile.
"That'...... Yesterday's ...... Are you really ...... Have you thought about it clearly...... "When I went home last night, Yu Zhe kept thinking about the incident that happened in the square.
Yu Zhe knew that he was really impulsive, but the result really surprised him, after all, just a few hours ago, Mo Lin had sworn that Shi Duluo didn't like him.
Although in Yu Zhe's heart, there was a throbbing of Shi Duluo, but he didn't want Shi Duluo to be influenced by Mo Lin before agreeing to him, so after calming down all night, Yu Zhe still wanted to ask clearly.
"Of course, will I still regret what I said?" Twilight gently pinched Yu Zhe's cheek, telling him not to think nonsense.
"I just...... I'm afraid you're ...... angry with Mo Lin," Yu Zhe's tone was weak, and he watched Twilight's reaction as he spoke.
"What about me...... Don't want to lie either. Shi Duluo took half a step forward, getting closer to Yu Zhe, "At first, my attitude towards you may indeed be out of anger, but I can assure you that what I said yesterday was thought about by myself, and definitely not because of Mo Lin. ”
Looking at Shi Duluo's sincere expression, Yu Zhe also breathed a sigh of relief, touched her hair with his hand, and tilted his mouth upwards imperceptibly.
"Jingle bell-" Just when the two of them were "Qingqing me", the "uninvited guest" came to the door again.
"Yo, morning. Ai Jun was full of sunshine, waved his hand, and greeted Yu Zhe at the end of the day, "Take away two cups of cappuccino." ”
"Good morning, Ai Jun. Twilight waved in response, turned away, and began to brew coffee.
Ai Junhuan propped his hand on the counter, quickly looked around, and Yu Zhe, who was hiding behind the cash register, asked suspiciously: "Eh, isn't Uncle Morin here today?"
"He ......" Yu Zhe didn't know how to answer, he was not good at words, especially knowing that the other party's words contained traps, so he was waiting for him to jump down.
"He said he was going to see a friend and wouldn't be here to help today. Twilight turned sideways and answered the question.
"Didn't you say where to go?" Ai Jun continued to ask.
"Where will he tell me, and he will only think of me until he is drunk at night. Shi Duluo said, his hands did not stop, skillfully brewing coffee, and in the blink of an eye, two cups of steaming coffee were knocked into paper cups and placed in front of Ai Jun.
"Then I won't bother, see you next time. Ai Jun didn't stop long, picked up his coffee and left.
Twilight cleaned up the coffee making things, not caring at all about what had just happened.
"You just said ...... Maureen went to see a friend?"
"That's right. "Twilight said it without care.
"But didn't you tell me that he was going to talk about business......" Yu Zhe felt that something was wrong, in fact, he had already felt this feeling from the conversation between Twilight and Di Minglei last night, and he wanted to ask, but then he didn't ask, he just thought he was too careful.
But now, in less than an hour, Twilight's words have become completely different, and he really can't turn a blind eye.
"Is there a difference?" said Shi Duluo as he looked at Yu Zhe and tilted his head.
"Of course, there is ......" In Yu Zhe's view, this is a completely different concept.
"......," Shi Duluo pursed her lips, looked up, and struggled for a moment before explaining, "He really just told me that he was going to talk about business, as for why I told Ai Jun that he was going to meet a friend...... Are you sure you want to know?"
Yu Zhe nodded, he had a hunch that this reason was very important.
“...... All right. Twilight wiped his hands with a dry towel, leaned against the wall and began to explain, "Actually, I don't know what he does, but in the eyes of those two policemen, he is just a vagrant now, if I tell the truth, isn't his suspicion in the eyes of the policemen greater......
"Huh?" Shi Duluo's words were a little too informative, so much so that he was really taken aback, "What do you know......
"What do I know?" Twilight chuckled, "Shouldn't you tell me what you're hiding from me?" ”
"Since you noticed that something was wrong, did you tell him this lie without asking anything?"
"There's no point in asking, if he wants to say anything, he will tell me directly when he asks me to lie for him at the beginning. Shi Duluo shrugged her shoulders, indicating that she was actually helpless, "Besides, if I don't tell this lie, it's not just him who is involved, isn't it?"
Twilight suddenly approached Yu Zhe and stared at him with big round eyes.
Yu Zhe directly stretched out his hand, firmly pressed Shi Duluo's arms, his eyes were much more serious, gritted his teeth, and asked in a very serious voice, "You tell the truth, what do you know." ”
"I'm guessing you're doing something for Morin. Faced with Yu Zhe's appearance, Shi Duluo was not afraid at all, but pouted and replied disappreciatively, "And...... It's definitely not a good thing, otherwise how would you get into trouble with the police. ”
"In that case, aren't you afraid?"
"What's so scary? I've been like this since I was a kid, I've been used to it for a long time. Shi Duluo squeezed out a wry smile, "If he is really a serious person, I don't have to worry about it every day, I am always worried that one day he will disappear from the world quietly and never come back." ”
“...... If I tell you, I'm doing things for him...... What would you think. ”
"If you're really helping him, I'm sorry to protect him so that he can return home completely every day. Twilight suddenly covered her mouth and laughed, "Of course, you have to be careful of him." ”
"Be careful of what?" Yu Zhe was a little confused by Shi Duluo's words.
"Be careful that he eats you. Shi Duluo smiled even brighter, and reached out to scrape Yu Zhe's chin, "I have already told him that I am in love with you~ He won't scold me, but he will ...... you But not necessarily~"
Yu Zhe could only hook the corners of his mouth, and helplessly touched Shi Dusk's head, he was about to re-examine the girl in front of him, in her, it seemed to exude a mysterious temperament, which really had a fatal attraction to him.
