Cheng Wei has always been mysterious, and she has never heard him mention his family. The life she could see was what he wanted to give her. And in normal life, no one will never talk about their past.

Zhou He sat in a daze. Li Peiyuan got up and took out an old yellowed newspaper from the bookshelf on the side and gave it to her.

The light in the study was a little dim, and after a while, he slowly took the newspaper. The newspaper had been damp for a long time, and it was moist in my hand.

She looked down and saw a blurred picture next to the newspaper of a big boy with young eyebrows and eyes flying wantonly. The name reported above is not called Cheng Wei, but Xie Juwei.

The person named Xie Juwei is a son-in-law who is raised by a man who has taken off his fresh clothes and is angry with Ma Fu. Eat, drink and be merry, all fine. In several reports, it was either a scandal, or a group of sons and brothers led by him eating, drinking, and teasing cats and dogs.

Even if there are only one or two pictures, just from the text below, you can imagine that he was in high spirits at that time.

The boy was still green between his eyebrows and eyes, and the corners of his lips were slightly raised when he laughed, and he was full of innate nobility. At first glance, you can tell that it is a pet child in a honey pot.

The gap between him and the current Cheng Wei is big, except for a slight similarity in appearance, it is no longer obvious that they are the same person.

Zhou He flipped through them one by one, and the newspapers were arranged in chronological order, only to come to an abrupt end in the spring of ten years ago.

Around that time, the boy named Xie Juwei was already a celebrity in Kyoto. There isn't much information about his background in the newspaper, but you can guess that his background is extraordinary.

Zhou He put down the old newspaper and looked up at Li Peiyuan.

Li Peiyuan had already finished smoking a cigarette, put out the cigarette butt in the ashtray, and said in a low voice: "Ten years ago, Xie Chen, the general of the Northwest Jun District, was dismissed on suspicion of deducting military pay and being involved in a murder case. A month after his arrest, he committed suicide in prison. A week after he committed suicide, his wife jumped to her death because she couldn't bear it. The only son was sent out of the country by his subordinates, but he was in a car accident on the way to the airport and his whereabouts have been unknown since then. ”

What he said was officially announced. In fact, this matter has not even been in the newspapers, and it has been suppressed.

He will say this, which proves that Cheng Wei's incident this time must be inseparable from the past. Zhou He's mind was a mess, and he just sat and didn't move.

Li Peiyuan quickly took out a second cigarette, looked at Zhou He, and said, "Ahe, you are not suitable for him." There is no need to worry about him, since he has returned, he is ready for the worst. ”

Zhou He's lips turned white, he also raised his head, and asked softly in a trembling voice: "Little uncle, you have known for a long time, right?"

Li Peiyuan was silent for a while, and only nodded after a while, and said yes. said: "When I first arrived in Yucheng, I investigated him. ”

Zhou He didn't speak anymore now, and he was involved in the previous matter, where would Cheng Wei get out so easily this time. She knew that this matter would not be simple, and it might threaten Cheng Wei's life. She looked at Li Peiyuan and asked, "Uncle, is he still safe inside?"

Li Peiyuan nodded and said, "The other party's claws are not so long for the time being. He has no worries about his life for the time being. "It's just that after this investigation, I don't know how long it will take to come out.

Zhou He fell silent. She was completely powerless and couldn't do anything.

Li Peiyuan dusted off the cigarette ash in his hand, raised his wrist to look at the time, and said, "Don't worry too much, the lawyer over there is very powerful." If he wasn't sure, he wouldn't have moved to Kyoto so quickly. ”

Until now, I can only hope that he has already made arrangements.

Zhou He nodded. Today's information is a bit much, she can't digest it, and she sat down for a while before getting up to leave. She was in a trance, Li Peiyuan was worried that something would happen to her when she went back alone, so he arranged for a driver to send her, and Zhou He did not refuse.

When she returned home, the first thing she did was to search for information about the boy named Xie Juwei. It's been many years, and there's very little information. It's like someone has cleaned it up, with only a few words.

Zhou He searched for Xie Chen's case again, but there was no news on the Internet. I can't figure out the context of what happened at the beginning. She sat in front of the computer for a long time. In the faint light of the computer, her face turned sickly pale.

Zhou He went back to work the next day, because Meng Shan clearly forbade mentioning it, and there was no discussion in the company. This incident has never appeared in the newspapers again, and the discussion in a forum on the Internet is still hot. Most of this is malicious speculation. Obviously, someone is maliciously inciting public opinion.

There has been no movement in the opposite room, and Zhou He habitually goes to the café opposite Cheng Wei's company to sit for a while after work.

There doesn't seem anything unusual about the building, and occasionally employees can be seen coming in and out of the building.

On Friday afternoon, Zhou Hegang didn't sit down in the café for long. Li actually strode into the café. He obviously knew that she was here, so he walked straight to her place and called Miss Zhou.

Zhou He nodded and greeted him, and asked, "What to drink?"

Li actually said no, and said: "You don't have to come and wait every day, I will notify you as soon as there is news from Mr. Cheng's side." ”

Zhou He didn't speak, but nodded.

Li actually left after saying only one sentence, and Zhou He still sat in the café to close, and then took a taxi home.

Time passed long and tormenting, and Zhou He wanted to call Li Jing several times, but in the end he didn't call. The newspapers did not report it again, the discussion on the Internet also stopped, and Zhou He completely lost the news.

One day half a month later, she came home from overtime, pressed the elevator button, and as soon as the elevator door opened, she saw Cheng Wei inside. He was still dressed modestly, except for a dense beard under his chin. He had obviously just returned, and he was still following him.

During this time, there has been no news from him, Zhou He seemed to be in disbelief, and stood at the elevator entrance without moving.

Cheng Wei's spirit was still good, he reached out and pressed the elevator that was about to close, and Zhou He reacted and walked into the elevator quickly.

There was silence in the elevator for a while, and no one spoke. In the end, it was Cheng Wei who spoke first and asked, "Do you work overtime?"

Zhou He nodded and hummed.

The atmosphere fell silent again, and the elevator quickly stopped. Zhou He walked out of the elevator first, paused when he took out the key to open the door, looked back at Cheng Wei, and said, "Don't order takeout, come over for dinner later." ”

Cheng Wei did not refuse, and agreed. Zhou He opened the door and entered the house.

She hadn't cooked in any time, and when she opened the refrigerator, she found that there weren't many things in it, and she didn't have any ingredients she wanted.

She took out the ingredients and called the restaurant that often ordered takeout to bring her some ingredients. Just send the raw materials, she will do it herself.

After doing all this, she put on her apron and began to cook. There are not many ingredients, she makes simple home-cooked dishes, and when the takeaway brother delivers the ingredients, her dishes have already been served on the table. Cheng Wei had already changed his clothes, took a shower, and brought a bottle of red wine.

Zhou He invited him to sit down, and soon entered the kitchen, and after a while, he brought out a bowl of pork knuckle noodles, put it in front of Cheng Wei, and said, "Eat." ”

There is a custom here in Kyoto that the pork knuckle noodle is to go to bad luck.

Cheng Wei looked at it, said thank you, and took the chopsticks and ate it. It didn't take long for a bowl of noodles to be eaten cleanly. Zhou He poured him wine, but he didn't drink it, he opened the red wine and drank it slowly.

Neither of them spoke. Zhou He ate silently.

Cheng Wei drank a glass of red wine, looked at Zhou He with a pair of deep eyes, and asked in a low voice, "What do you want to ask?" His figure was lonely and depressed in the dim light. and the original wanton teenager with eyebrows and eyes, no longer connected at all.

Zhou He was slightly distracted for a moment, and then shook his head.

She didn't ask Cheng Wei or mention it, just drank silently. There were a lot of things when he came back, and before he had a few glasses of wine, the phone rang.

It should have been a call, he picked it up and looked at it, and then fed it.

Li didn't know what to say on the other end of the phone, he said lightly: "I'll come over immediately." ”

After speaking, he hung up the phone, put down his wine glass and whispered thank you to Zhou He, then stood up and left with his coat.

Zhou He sent him out, and when he stepped out of the door, he said in a low voice: "Pay attention to safety." ”

Cheng Wei's figure stiffened slightly, answered the hello, and went back to the opposite room.

Zhou He stood for a while and closed the door, but did not leave. It didn't take long for footsteps and the sound of the door closing from the opposite room, and Cheng Wei went out.

Zhou He stood against the door for a long time before returning to the living room and sitting down. She didn't feel sleepy at all, and after sitting for a while, she took out her computer and got ready to work.

She was absent-minded, although the computer was turned on. But she couldn't concentrate all the time, so she just sat there until I don't know how long later, the phone rang, and she suddenly came back to her senses.

She was in a daze, and it was already past eleven o'clock. took the mobile phone that was put aside, and the call turned out to be from Cheng Wei, she picked it up and fed it.

"Open the door, I'm outside the door, and I've come back with some supper. Cheng Wei's voice was low and deep.

Zhou He didn't turn around for a moment, and after a while, he hurriedly opened the door.

Cheng Wei outside wore a black coat and carried a packed supper from the night market outside. Seeing that Zhou He was stunned, he bypassed her and entered the room, and said, "Eat something, you didn't eat much at night." ”

There were few words between the two, and most of the time there was silence. After eating the supper brought in, Cheng Wei didn't stay long, and said goodnight to Zhou He in a low voice and left.

Cheng Wei came here, and he was indeed prepared. The investigation did not reveal any evidence against him. It was all trivial, and the final punishment ended with a fine.

But this incident has an impact on Cheng Wei's company, although he still lives in the opposite room, but the two have little time to meet, he is on a business trip most of the time, even in Kyoto, he will work overtime until late to come back.

By the end of the year, Zhou He's things became more and more. Overtime has become a common thing. Meng Shan relies on her very much, and many important occasions will take her and Meng Yu with her.

Zhou He was so busy that he was relieved that he didn't take care of everything until the day before the annual meeting.

She was at ease with the entertainment at the annual meeting, and she kept smiling throughout the whole process. She didn't have time to eat at noon, drank a lot of wine, and when she had a little free time, she prepared to get something to pad her stomach.

I just arrived at the buffet area, and I haven't picked up anything yet. A small dessert was handed over to him.

Zhou He turned around, and Cheng Wei was standing next to him in a formal suit. Since the company was investigated, he has always lived in seclusion, and rarely participates in socializing. I haven't seen him tonight, and I don't know when he's here.

Zhou He was stunned for a moment, took the small dessert over, and said thank you.

Cheng Wei didn't speak, took a glass of red wine, and stood on the side.

Zhou He wolfed down the small dessert, and then he said: "I'll go back to my residence later, it's not easy to take a taxi at this time, I'll wait for you in the parking lot later." ”

His voice was low, deliberately keeping a little distance from Zhou He, as if he was afraid of causing her trouble.

Zhou He hesitated slightly, but he still didn't refuse, and nodded in response.

Cheng Wei didn't stay long at the annual meeting, and left after saying hello to Meng Shan. Zhou He stayed until the end of the annual meeting, saw off the customers, and then walked to the parking lot in high heels.

By this time, the people had almost gone, and the cars in the parking lot were scattered. Cheng Wei's car was parked very conspicuously, and she saw it within a few steps of walking out.

She paused slightly, walked over, pulled the door and got into the car.

At this time, Cheng Wei should have been smoking. There was a smell of smoke in the car. He didn't know what he was thinking just now, until Zhou Heli pulled the car door and sat in the car, he seemed to come back to his senses. I opened the window of the car, snuffed out the cigarette butt and threw it into the trash can next to it.

He looked at Zhou He as if nothing had happened, and looked at Zhou He while starting the car, and asked, "Are you done?"

Zhou He nodded.

The car quickly drove out of the parking lot, and Cheng Wei looked at both sides of the street and asked, "What do you want to eat?"

The things at the annual meeting were raw and cold, and I couldn't get enough to eat.

Zhou He laughed all night tonight and walked all night, his face was stiff and his feet hurt, he really didn't want to get out of the car, so he said without thinking: "No, I'm not very hungry, just go back and cook a bowl of noodles later." ”

She was all smiling and radiant at the annual meeting, and only then did she show her tiredness.

Cheng Wei subconsciously wanted to reach out and pat her on the head, but before his hand stretched out, he suddenly realized that she was no longer the little girl she was the original girl, his body stiffened slightly, he clenched the steering wheel, mumbled, and asked, "Is there a holiday from today?"

Their company is already on holiday today.

Zhou He nodded and snorted. The street lamp outside the window fell back quickly, and she suddenly thought of Cheng Wei's life experience at this moment.

She can still go to the Li family's old house during the New Year, but he has no place to go. She was a little stunned.

Cheng Wei didn't see her distraction, and asked again, "Are you going back to Yucheng?"

Zhou He was going back to sweep the grave and said, "I want to go back." She remembered the tomb with a wordless monument, looked sideways at Cheng Wei, and said, "Did you go over?"

Cheng Wei nodded and said, "When are you going to go back, you will be together when you book a ticket." ”

Zhou He rarely goes back to Kyoto now, and she plans to go back to clean the house, and says, "I plan to book a ticket for tomorrow noon." ”

"I'll have people book together. ”

Zhou He originally wanted to say that she would order it herself without bothering, but when the words came to her lips and swallowed again. Finally, I said yes.

After Cheng Wei came out, she never asked him anything, and when she was about to arrive at the residence, she asked, "Have you taken care of your company's affairs?"

"Don't worry, it's all taken care of. Cheng Wei replied. He didn't know what was going on, his eyes were deep.

Zhou Ji didn't notice, just nodded.

Neither of them spoke until they went upstairs. It wasn't until he took out the key to open the door that Zhou He said thank you.

The shoes on her feet were extremely uncomfortable, and when she entered the house, she changed her shoes first and then went to wash. The hot water rushed through her body, and she felt alive at this moment.

The body is aware and can feel hungry. After taking a shower and going out, she was about to go to the kitchen to cook noodles when there was a knock on the door.

The only one who will knock on the door at this time is Cheng Wei. She took a coat and put it on, and then went to open the door.

It was indeed Cheng Wei standing outside, he was holding a bowl of steaming dumplings, and walked into the house without saying hello to him, and said, "Auntie's quick-frozen dumplings, cook one more bowl, you try it." ”

Zhou He closed the door and said thank you.

Cheng Wei quickly put the dumplings on the table, looked back at Zhou He, and said, "Eat it while it's hot." ”

He was familiar with this side, and as he spoke, he went to pour a glass of water for Zhou He and put it in front of her.

The dumplings in the bowl are the weight of one person, Zhou He looked at it and asked, "Don't you eat it?"

Cheng Wei sighed, sat down, and said, "I've already eaten it." ”

Zhou He ate it now.

She was hungry and kept eating. Cheng Wei sat on the side and watched her eat.

Zhou He's movements were fast, and he finished eating a bowl of dumplings in a short time. She was slightly uncomfortable, drank half a glass of water and got up to finish cleaning up.

Cheng Wei stopped her and said that he would bring her back and her aunt would clean it up.

He didn't stay long, and quickly got up and left.

Zhou He was probably tired, and he unexpectedly slept well this night. The next morning I got up and cleaned up the house, and Cheng Wei came over and knocked on the door, saying that Jean was ready to go to the airport.

He didn't know if he was going to stay for a few days, and he didn't bring any luggage. Zhou He only brought his clothes.

He didn't go back alone, he always followed. After getting off the plane, someone was waiting outside early.

He didn't just come here for the New Year, he ordered someone to send Zhou He back to the house. He himself got into another car.

Cheng Wei had already guessed that she would clean the yard when she came back, so she asked her aunt to wait at the house early. Zhou He opened the door, and the two part-time workers cleaned it for her.

Zhou He was not used to this, so after cleaning the downstairs, he invited the two aunts back. The two aunts didn't leave, and cleaned the fallen leaves in the yard before leaving.

This saved a lot of work, she cleaned the upstairs by herself, and then went to the supermarket to buy something. And I plan to go to Senior Brother Qiu's side tomorrow to have a look.

In the evening, she ate alone and made a simple two dishes and one soup. Before I could start using my chopsticks, the doorbell rang outside.

No one knew that she was back, and the person who came over would only be Cheng Wei. She walked out and opened the door.

The person outside is indeed Cheng Wei, but he didn't come empty-handed, and brought a lot of New Year's goods. Zhou He couldn't help but be stunned, and said, "I can't stay for a few days when I come back, why do you bring so many things?"

Cheng Wei smiled slightly and said, "I don't have a place to go for the New Year, are you welcome to celebrate the New Year together?"

His tone was gentle.

Zhou He avoided his gaze, bent over to pick up the things on the ground, and said, "Come in." ”

Cheng Wei naturally hadn't finished eating at this time, so she went to cook a cabbage and tofu soup again, and then sat down and started eating.

Cheng Wei naturally didn't run out of places to go, but he didn't leave at night, and Zhou He finally made the bed in the room he used to live in upstairs.

When she did these things, Cheng Wei was watching him at the door. She turned around, and he quickly withdrew his gaze. The two were a little uncomfortable staying together, she didn't go to see Cheng Wei, and said, "It's not early, let's rest." ”

She was about to go out as she spoke. As soon as she walked to the door, Cheng Wei reached out and grabbed her. His eyes were dark, and he called out in a low voice, "Ahe." ”

He said with a slight force and took her into his arms.

He was wearing only a shirt on his body, and through the thin fabric, he could even feel his pounding heart and temperature.

She was slightly distracted. Soon he was about to break out of Cheng Wei's arms, but Cheng Wei hugged her tightly, as if he wanted to embed her in his bones.

Zhou He couldn't struggle, and he didn't struggle anymore, letting him hold him.

Cheng Wei hugged her so tightly, and after a long time, he lowered his head to find her lips.

Before he touched it this time, Zhou He avoided it. Her face was a little tired, and she looked at him with a pair of eyes, and said, "Mr. Cheng, please respect yourself." ”

Cheng Wei's body stiffened, and he kept looking at her.

Zhou He was tired both on his face and in his eyes. He tried to find some other emotions, but none of them.

She was like a puppet who had lost her emotions.

His grip on her arm gradually loosened.

Breaking free from his confinement, Zhou He took a step back almost subconsciously, and didn't say anything, just walked out of the house quickly.

Cheng Wei stood in place and did not move for a long time. After more than ten minutes, he sat down at the end of the bed, took out a cigarette, lowered his head and smoked silently.
