The word "brother" made Xie Mad's heart tremble, "What do you mean?"

"Don't overthink it. Yue Shuluo said comfortingly, "I am an only child, I don't have a younger brother, your age is just right for me to be my younger brother." For Hou Ye, it is also suitable. ”

Xie Madxin desperately endured his anger, his right hand clenched tightly, as if he might swing it at the face of the beautiful snake opposite him at any time.

"Do you remember your parents?" Yue Shuluo didn't seem to notice the abnormality of Xie Mad's heart.

Xie was stunned.

"My father didn't love my mother, and he didn't love me. The sound of the moon falling was like snowflakes on a winter night, light and cold, "So, for as long as I can remember, I haven't seen my father smile." Occasionally, I can see a smile on his face, but that has nothing to do with me. Yue Shuluo sighed, and suddenly laughed softly again. "Crazy Heart, you've been in the Neon Country for so many years, have you ever seen cherry blossoms at night?"

Xie Mad's heart had a stomach full of anger to vent, but he couldn't say it inexplicably - there was a sadness in the voice of the moon that he had never heard before. He suddenly felt some sympathy for this woman who had always been delicate and long-sleeved and good at dancing.

"Cherry blossoms are the most wonderful when they are about to bloom. The moonlight shines on the cherry blossom trees, and from a distance, it looks like a veil of dreams covering the canopy. The corners of Yueshuluo's mouth curved upward, "And at that time, I saw my father in a daze under a tree. ”

"How do I remember that Dr. Jiang said that you grew up in the imperial capital, and that there are cherry blossoms in the imperial capital?" Xie Madness blinked suspiciously.

"The cherry blossoms in the imperial capital of Yuyuantan are no worse than those in Ueno, Tokyo. Yueshu glanced at him, "You don't think that there are only cherry blossoms in the neon country in this world, do you?"

Xie Madxin gritted his teeth and decided to ignore the other party's provocation. "This is the most memorable memory of your childhood?"

"I don't know. Yue Shuluo said sullenly, "I just remember that my father was under the beautiful cherry blossom tree, holding a photo of a woman I don't know, and I was stunned for a long time." ”

"Maybe that woman is your mother. Xie Madxin couldn't help but blurt out.

Yue Shuluo shook her head, "She's not like me at all. She turned her head and stared at the night sky outside the window of the cabin, "My childhood memories are like a broken mirror, all the fragments, with pain. I used to think that in this world, there are not many people like me, but I met you and Hou Ye. She retracted her gaze and looked at Xie Madxin, "I don't know your story, and I don't know Lord Hou's, but I know that we are all unhappy people." ”

Xie felt a string of hot flames swim along his nerves and throughout his body. He didn't want Yue Shuluo to see the fluctuations in his heart, so he cleared his throat and said, "I don't need to tell you about me. As for Hou Ye, we all know why he is unhappy. ”

Yue Shuluo folded her hands on her knees, and Xie Madxin noticed that she was not wearing gloves, and a pair of slender hands seemed to be trembling.

"Are you cold?"

"Nope. Yue Shuluo shook her head, "I suddenly remembered what you told me just now, and I was shocked, because I didn't expect you to do this for the sake of Lord Hou." I'm ashamed because I probably can't do my job. ”

"Because Master Hou has no life-saving grace for you, you don't have to compare with me. Xie said proudly.

"No, Master Hou also saved me. Yue Shuluo said bitterly.

"Are you talking about the night Hou Ye met you?" Xie Crazy laughed, "I said don't be unhappy, I heard later that Hou Ye just brought you back." I guess he just thinks you're pretty, don't think too much about it. ”

Yue Shuluo shook her head, "Saving lives doesn't have to be lifesaving in the secular sense. She narrowed her eyes slightly, "A man has fallen into the water, and you drag him ashore, of course, it is a life-saving, but what if this person comes to the water in pain and wants to die, and you persuade him to stop?"

Xie was stunned, "Mr. Yue, what do you mean......"

"Don't talk about that. Yue Shuluo changed the subject, "Jiaojiao's hand is okay, right?"

"I told her that when I got back to the room, I would break one of the plates and the like, and then tell them tomorrow that she had accidentally scratched her hand. ”

Yueshu bowed her head, "What about your injuries, aren't you afraid that they will ask?"

Xie Madxin shrugged, "No one cares about other people's children. He looked at Yue Shuluo's worried expression, and added, "If someone asks, I'll just make up a reason." For example, accidentally scratching your hand from the leaves of a certain plant in the garden. Anyway, no one will take it to heart, and asking is just polite. ”

Yue Shuluo smiled, "You're such a smart kid. ”

Xie Madxin felt uncomfortable for a while, because Yue Shuluo's tone of voice was quite like Wan Guohou, but he didn't want to have a seizure over such a trivial matter, because it would make him look more like a "child".

"Mr. Yue, if there is nothing else, I will go back. ”

"Hmm. Yue Shuluo stood up and turned off the heating light, and the light in the wooden house suddenly became very dim. "By the way, I almost forgot, I need you to do me a favor from today. ”

Xie Madness said vigilantly, "What's the hurry?"

"Don't be nervous. Yue Shuluo smiled, "I sometimes don't want Hou Ye to know when I go out - don't worry, I won't do anything to be sorry for Hou Ye, I just don't want Hou Ye to know that I went to find Doctor Jiang, and I don't want Doctor Jiang to lie for me." ”

Xie Mad's heart suddenly realized, "You like Doctor Jiang?" I don't know why, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

"When I go to him, do you have to like him?" Yue Shuluo's eyes rolled, "Then you often go to see Nan Zejiao, which means that you like her?"

"I don't understand, did Master Hou give you any special task?" Xie asked in confusion.

"If it's not convenient for you to help me, forget it. Yue Shuluo showed a disappointed expression, "I'll find someone else." She added, "I think Master Hou should trust you very much, so I want to ask you for help." ”

Xie Madxin hesitated for a moment, "Do you want to say that you went out to see Doctor Jiang and didn't want Hou Ye to know, and when Hou Ye asked, you said that you went out with me?"

Yue Shuluo waved her hand, "No need, it's not a big deal for me to find someone else." With that, she was about to go out. "Let's go back together, we have to get up early tomorrow." ”

Xie Madxin watched her straighten her coat, open the door, and take a step before he called out to her, "Okay! I'll help you! But you must keep it a secret for me—about the pumpkin carriage." ”

"Rest assured, I'm absolutely reliable. Yue Shuluo turned her head and said with a smile. She stretched out her hand to Xie Qiangxin, who hesitated for a second before shaking it. The grip made him shiver at once—those hands, as cold as ice.

And in the lighted study, Wan Guohou was painting. The Z2 sat motionless in front of the floor lamp, acting as a model.

"Knock knock", K1 knocked on the door of the study.

"Please come in. Wan Guohou said without raising his head. He was about a third of the way through, and the outline of the portrait was beginning to appear.

"You're really in a good mood. K1 was holding a plate with several plates of snacks on it.

"Leave it aside. Wan Guohou commanded.

"Master Hou, Manager Yue asked me to help her get a heating lamp to go to the cabin an hour ago, I don't know what she wants to do, on such a cold day, do you want to do yoga there?" K1 said, walking behind Wan Guohou to watch the latter paint.

"Is she alone?" Wan Guohou said, changing a pen.

"Not long after Crazy Heart came back, I don't know if I slept or was caught by the Moon Manager and froze together. K1 shrugged. "It's more likely to be caught, and I see two lines of footprints on the snow. ”

Z2 couldn't help but interject and said, "Master Hou, how long will it take for you to finish drawing, I have a sore back and a numb buttocks." ”

Wan Guohou glared at him, "Don't move." ”

Z2 laughed dryly, secretly relaxed, and then quickly sat up straight again.

"That's it, don't move, Master Hou will paint a portrait of you, what a big face, we don't have this treatment. K1 said, secretly picking up a maple almond from the plate and throwing it into his mouth.

"Don't interrupt, where did the madness go?" Wan Guohou interrupted the two of them laughing.

"C4 said he went to a nightclub and I forgot the name. K1 took two bites and swallowed the almond as fast as a clever squirrel. "He took Nan Zejiao with him, but he didn't stay for long, so he probably went to dance inside. ”

"How can Nan Zejiao get in?" Z2 had an expression of disbelief, "Crazy heart can still fool around, Nan Zejiao is a child no matter how you look at it." ”

"I guess it's stuffed money. Wan Guohou said calmly, "I'm just curious, why did he take Nan Zejiao to a nightclub at this time." ”

"Didn't he tell you?" K1's face changed as he suddenly felt the seriousness of the matter, "I'll call him right away." ”

"No need. Wan Guohou put down his paintbrush, "He knows that there is a positioning in the car, so he shouldn't dare to do anything behind my back." Besides, isn't the Moon Manager already teaching him a lesson?"

"What if these two collude to lie to you?" said Z2, bending over again and stealthily.

"Don't move!" Wan Guohou picked up the pen, scribbled for a while, and then said, "Okay, let's be here tonight." He went into the bathroom and began to wash the paint off his hands.

After a while, Wan Guohou returned to his study. "T3 How's it been these two days?"

"Lying down to play the game console, Mr. Yue said that he wanted to watch a movie, but he didn't find the disc for the time being. K1 replied, "I'm not afraid of him being in contact with the outside world, C4 has been spying on him." ”

"Good. Wan Guohou nodded, walked to the desk, and sat down.

"You two are the people I trust the most. His expression was serious, "Therefore, there are some things I will only say to you." ”

"Yes!" replied both of them.

"I have a question. Do you believe in the Moon Chief?" Wan Guohou leaned back in his chair with an unpredictable expression.

The two big men looked at each other, "I don't believe it." ”

Wan Guohou smiled, "I don't believe it either." He narrowed his eyes slightly, "Although she blocked a bullet for me, although she behaved very bravely in the underground palace in Suzhou, although there was nothing wrong with her usual demeanor." ”

"I know what you mean. "She's so flawless, so you suspect her." ”

"Nope. Wan Guohou shook his head, "That's not why I doubt her. I doubt her, only because I think she resembles me. ”

K1 was stunned, "Master Hou, are you praising her?"

Wan Guohou laughed happily, "If she is my friend or relative, then I will be very happy, if she is my enemy, it doesn't matter, because she does not have all my trust. He stroked his beard, "Although on several occasions I felt that I was about to be shaken by her." ”

"That'...... When Madheart returns to his room later, I'll ask him what he's doing tonight?" K1 said worriedly, "Madheart is young and impulsive, could he have said something to Manager Moon that shouldn't have been said?"

"No, it won't. Wan Guohou said calmly, "Important things, the madheart doesn't know, only the two of you know the plan and truth about my revenge." ”

"Master Hou, you can be regarded as giving me a reassurance. K1 was relieved, "For a while, I thought you were going to marry the Moon Manager. ”

Z2 laughed, "K1, you don't know Master Hou too well." How could Master Hou get married before the big thing was completed?"

K1 was a little embarrassed, "Z2, I found that you have been with E1 for a long time, and your mouth has become angry. ”

"Obviously he learned it from me!" Z2 said arrogantly, "I am the smartest person next to Master Hou." ”

"Ahem. Wan Guohou said, "In this way, my acting skills are not bad." He pretended not to see K1's disgruntled expression, "Also, I want to remind you that from now on, you must be in good spirits. ”

"Yes!"

"I estimate that tomorrow, the day after tomorrow at the latest, Nan Zeyu will return to China. It's already past 12 o'clock, February 15th, and if I'm not mistaken, the Chinese New Year has already passed, and he must be in a hurry to get back to work. The two of you should keep an eye on the 'Unbenevolent Society' to see if they will make any moves. Wan Guohou looked at the tray on the table, and then realized that he was hungry. He smiled wryly, and then said, "As for the Moon Chief, you will act as if you don't know anything. ”

"Understood. The two replied in unison.

K1 secretly looked at Wan Guohou's face, "Master Hou, I'm still not at ease, do you want to wait for me to test the head of the moon?" ”

"Not necessarily. Wan Guohou said, "If you want to be tempted, I will also go." ”

"You idiot, you just made it clear. Z2 glared at K1, "But this woman is really weird, and I can't tell if she's an enemy or a friend." But I think Hou Ye is right, you can't act rashly. ”

"We use a lot of words to describe a person. For example, Mr. Yue is a very smart person, a person who can make desserts, a person who loves to read, a person who is proficient in two foreign languages, and a person with average academic qualifications. Wan Guohou smiled, "Or, someone who can't be seen through." ”
