There were many ups and downs all night, Zhou Wei didn't sleep well, and he simply got up to work at two o'clock in the morning, but as soon as he turned on the computer, he heard a sound outside.

In the middle of the night, there is silence, and the slightest abnormal sound can be infinitely amplified.

He listened closely, like the sound of glass colliding.

This woman......

Zhou Wei closed the computer, rubbed his forehead and got out of bed.

……

The living room had a night light, and the door to the guest bedroom was clearly open, and he turned to go to the dining room.

Sure enough, a small figure in a nightdress was nesting there.

Zhou Wei usually doesn't have the habit of drinking alone, but he likes to collect, so Jardine has a specially customized wine cabinet, which occupies an entire wall, with a wooden structure below, and a row of electronic wine cabinets above, with constant temperature and oxygen.

He was not in a hurry to go in, he simply leaned against the door with his chest crossed and watched.

Chang An didn't notice anyone coming at all, completely immersed in this sea of red wine, left and right, up and down, rows of red wines of different vintages, her eyes swept over like radar, and if she found that she was interested, she took it out and took a look, and then lightly stuffed it in, the technique was as skilled as an old driver, but she didn't seem to find anything that satisfied her, so she put the idea on it, but unfortunately the electronic wine cabinet was relatively high, and she couldn't reach the barefoot person who nodded at one meter and six meters, so she simply moved a chair and stood up.

Zhou Tao saw her open the cabinet door, her eyes seemed to be about to glow, and she muttered something in her mouth, but she didn't hear it clearly, but it was definitely not a good word.

In the end, Chang An pulled one from the middle without hesitation, held it in his hand like a baby, and as soon as he turned around, he saw Zhou Wei standing at the door silently, and was so frightened that he almost fell off the chair.

"You...... When did you come?" she asked, subconsciously hugging the bottle in her arms.

Zhou Wei approached with raised eyebrows, "It's been a while, just to catch it." After speaking, his chin was raised, and he looked at the wine in her arms, "The eyes are very poisonous, so choose this one?"

"Why, don't you want to? I can count the money for you!" she said as she leaned over to the side, hugging the wine bottle tightly, her black hair was shawl, and she was wearing a babydoll-like nightdress, which looked like a child holding her beloved doll.

Zhou Wei was scratched by her like that.

"There's nothing to be reluctant to, it's just that it's hard to estimate the market value of this one now!"

"Then you quote the number, and I will transfer it directly to you tomorrow. ”

The tone is not small, and at first glance, he is the master who has never lacked money since he was a child.

"You come down first!"

"Then you promise me first!"

“……”

It sounded like Zhou Wei was stingy, and he lowered his head and laughed.

"Obedient, come down first, come down and talk later!"

Chang An was satisfied, and jumped down with the red wine, a half-meter-high chair, Zhou Wei quickly took it, and his soft body just fell into his arms, he frowned and scolded: "You won't help it?"

Chang An smiled: "Wine is more important. ”

Zhou Wei's face darkened instantly, and he took advantage of the situation to pull out the bottle in her arms.

"Hey!"

"Hey, you still have a wound on your head, what kind of wine to drink, not allowed!"

When he went downstairs, he turned his face and didn't recognize anyone, Chang An was so angry that he stomped his feet, "It's obvious that you are reluctant." ”

“……”

"Give it to me!"

"Give it to me......" She pounced on it and grabbed it, it was rare to see that she was so eager for something, but Zhou Wei didn't give it, and raised the wine bottle above her head,

Poor Chang An's height is too different from him, so he can only jump up on tiptoe, it looks like he is teasing a kitten, very boring, but Zhou Wei has a lot of fun.

It's just that Chang An jumped a few times and found that he couldn't reach it alive or dead, so he didn't jump anymore, so he simply raised his head and stared at the red wine in mid-air.

"Forget it!"

“……”

"Don't drink anymore!"

She turned her head and left, Zhou Wei was stunned for a moment, she didn't look like someone who could give up so easily.

Sure enough, Chang An, who had just walked to the door, turned around again, gasped slightly, walked back to Zhou Wei again, raised his head, and squinted his eyes.

"Give it to me, Ah ......"

Zhou Xian's head boomed.

Later, he mentioned this matter to Zhou Xin, saying that Chang An is like this, but if he is a little soft, he is coquettish, not to mention a bottle of red wine, he is willing to serve it with both hands in the whole world.

Give it to you, even if you know that she has injuries on her body, it shouldn't matter if you drink a little.

He lowered his arm against the socket of his teeth, and his face was still pretending to be unharmed.

"Ahem... Only drink half a cup!"

"Okay, yes, just half a cup!"

Zhou Wei turned around and opened the wine bottle, took the decanting jug again, poured a little bit into it, and instructed Chang An: "Go get the cup." ”

"Good!"

Chang An ran away again and came back with two cups, "You want to drink a little too?"

“……”

It will take a few minutes to decant the wine, and Chang An obviously can't wait.

It's hard for Zhou Wei to understand, she doesn't look like a person who is easily addicted to anything, why is she so self-controlled about alcohol?

"Why did you suddenly get up in the middle of the night to find a drink?"

"Can't sleep. ”

"Missing something?"

After all, a lot of things have happened recently, Zhou Wei understands her feelings, Jin Xiaoxiao's case should be a big blow to her, although she didn't mention it, but it can be seen from some details, plus she had a fight with Chang Wangde a few hours ago, and some words were obviously said in the case of extreme grievance and rebellion.

But Chang An just smiled lightly, poured some red wine into the glass, and didn't say a word.

Naturally, when the wine is drunk, a small half glass is definitely not enough.

Such a good wine, Chang An is very greedy, a small glass is finished, another small glass, and another small glass, back and forth two large glasses, but after drinking, it is still necessary.

Zhou Meng saw that she was already a little drunk, but in fact, the amount of alcohol was obviously very poor, how could she still be greedy to death.

"No, go to rest early!"

"One last small cup. ”

"The last small glass will not work, the wine will be kept for you, and I will not move. ”

Seeing that he was about to put away the bottle.

Chang An was angry and anxious, and suddenly went over and pulled the corner of his clothes: "Give me a little more, I can't sleep, my body hurts......"

At that time, she looked like a small person, wearing a white dress, and her whole body looked soft and soft, with a slight drunken laziness, and then a pitiful little look, her eyes were like starlight under the light, and then told you that I was in pain...... Zhou Wei held his breath and couldn't breathe, and it took a while to return his gaze to her.

"Go to the living room!"

"What are you doing in the living room?"

"Show me on the body. ”

“……”

Chang An frowned and looked like he was about to suffer, "No need." ”

"What, excuse me?"

“……”

"I've already touched everything, where can't I be seen?"

Chang An was so angry that his face turned crimson, and he wanted to scold something, but he couldn't think of words for a while.

Zhou Wei was used, couldn't help laughing, added a little more wine to the cup, and took it: "Let's go, go to the living room, the wine will be given to you!" After speaking, he went out first with the cup.

Chang An struggled in place for a few seconds, between losing her temper and losing her wine, what should she choose?

Forget it, it still seems that wine is more important!

"Wait a minute!" she took two quick steps to catch up.

The corners of Zhou Wei's lips rose, and he didn't care, he walked directly to the living room and turned on the light.

"Come here!"

“……”

"Come here!"

Chang An walked over with a glare.

Zhou Wei asked, "Where does it hurt on your body?"

Chang An: "......"

Zhou Wei: "Speak!"

Chang An: "Back!"

Zhou Wei raised his chin and pointed to the sofa next to him: "Then you lie down." ”

Chang An: "......"

She didn't lie down.

"What for?"

"Didn't you say your back hurts?

"No, it's not a big injury. ”

Zhou Wei was not in a hurry, anyway, he knew where her weakness was, so he gently shook the cup in his hand, "If you don't lie down, you won't have the half bottle of wine left." ”

Chang An glared angrily.

It's probably hard to understand her obsession with alcohol, but that's it, in fact, she didn't quit her alcohol addiction before returning to China, and she can hook out the wine worms with a little bite, not to mention that Zhou Wei's bottle is still the best, and it may not be available outside for money.

Chang An gritted his teeth, but still obediently lay on the sofa for half a bottle of wine.

Zhou Wei scooped all the hair on her back to the side, and the small half of the back of her neck was exposed, and a little bruise could already be seen.

"Chang'an..."

"Huh?"

Forget it, he is too lazy to be a gentleman, and directly pulls down the zipper behind Chang'an's nightdress, one to the end, butterfly bones, spine, and then to the tail vertebrae, a rounded and slightly arched arc, the skin is like clotted fat, but there are a lot of bruises in the crisscross.

The bruises had darkened, blackened, purple, and the strips of cloth were really frightening to look at on them.

Zhou Wei couldn't help but gasp, "Why didn't you say it earlier?"

"What do you mean, do you mean it hurt?" she lay there and smiled softly, her eyebrows clear, and she looked like someone else altogether.

Probably only if she drank too much.

Zhou Yan didn't ask much, "I'll go get the medicine and wipe it for you!"

He went to the medicine box to find an ointment that invigorated blood and dispels blood stasis, and when he came over, he was still lying there obediently, hanging on the arm of the sofa with one hand, holding half a glass of wine in the other, and the zipper of his nightdress was open, revealing a whole back as white as jade porcelain.

Zhou Wei sat down, squeezed the medicine into the palm of his hand, rubbed it evenly, rubbed it hot...

"Bear with me!"

The palm of the hand pressed up and rubbed it down in the direction of the bruises, although the movement was as small as possible, the person on the sofa still hummed softly, and his back was arched, from the butterfly bone to the buttocks, a slight float, like a stretched fish.

Such a reaction is often unaware, but for Zhou Wei, it is simply a punishment.

He bit his breath, "Pain?" but his voice had unconsciously become hoarse.

Chang An nodded, "A little, can you light it?"

He smiled bitterly, he really had nothing to blame for himself.

"Got it, don't move on your stomach!"

He pressed Chang An's arched shoulders down, rubbed the medicine again, and applied it up, rubbing and caressing it little by little...... At first, Chang An was still a little uncomfortable, but gradually felt comfortable, but he obediently lay on his stomach and stopped moving.

It's just that the whole process is really unbearable for Zhou Wei, his lower abdomen swells sharply, his throat is tight, and he can only find a topic to divert his attention.

"Why did you suddenly go to your dad's today?"

"He called me. ”

"Why don't you wait for me to come back and go with us?"

"Heh... Of course not, it's a shame to be beaten by him in front of you. ”

“……”

After a while, Zhou Wei asked again: "He used to beat you like this before?"

"Not really, this is the second time. ”

"The second time?"

"Well, the second time...... The first time was five years ago......"

Zhou Wei's subordinates stopped rubbing the medicine.

Five years ago, this point in time had been mentioned by her more than once, and he had already learned some information from the content of Chang An and Chang Wangde's quarrel.

"Just five years ago, when you ran away from home with Chen Haodong?"

"Well, but then he found me, but I refused to go back, he made up a lie to deceive me, I actually believed it, and was picked up by the people he sent, but what was waiting for me when I came back was a beating, and a one-way ticket to London......" Chang An smiled again when he said this, thinking back to the scene at that time, he still had palpitations.

Zhou Wei could also imagine that his fingers ran over the bruises on her back, "How old were you that year?"

"Under the age of eighteen. ”

"Before you are an adult, you have the courage to elope with other men?"

"But he's not another man, he's my brother, the most important man in my life besides my father—" She was willing to tell the truth after drinking.

Zhou Wei lowered his head and smiled bitterly, the most important man, heh......

"It's a pity that you, the most important man, can give you? He was only in his early twenties that year, and he had nothing, even if his feelings for you were true, but he couldn't even guarantee you a minimum of life, Chang An, this is the love you understand?"

"Why not? I know, you are the same as my father and my grandmother, in your eyes everything must be built on a material basis, to have a big house, a luxury car, and a family background, but I can't be happy at all, but that's not the case, it's okay if the house is smaller, it doesn't matter if the money is less, the most important thing is that two people who love each other can be together, being together is the premise, and the rest is not important. ”

She lay there and slowly talked about her concept of love, a little girl in her early twenties, pampered since she was a child, and her food and clothing are the best, but she has to adhere to the theory of "being full of love and drinking water".

Zhou Wei must feel ridiculous when he puts it aside, how can it be, there is nothing in this world that has nothing to do with money, even if there is no now, after a long time, tired, tired, and finally have to return to the cheesy vegetables, rice, oil and salt.

Where is there really a love that does not eat the fireworks of the world.

But Chang An said that, lying there quietly, carrying a wound that he was desperate for love, he was still touched.

Two years ago, he faced the same situation, he wanted to give up everything and take Zhou Xin away, change places, and start again, but he got a completely different answer.

Maybe the older he gets, the more barren his love becomes, the more he experiences, the heavier the burden, he doesn't believe that there is any pure love for a long time, but at this moment he is crazy with jealousy, jealous of that man, jealous of Chang An's willingness to stick to him, desperately, injured, but still gritting his teeth and not screaming pain.

It's easy to say how easy it is to say love, but it's too difficult to be willing to pay and persevere.

"Chang'an ......"

"Chang'an?"

Zhou Wei patted her on the shoulder, didn't move, and when she got up, she saw that the person was already lying there asleep.

He smiled wryly, helped her pull up her nightdress, took the empty cup she held in his hand, and carried her to the bedroom.

Chang An didn't wake up all the way, but his body was soft and sticking to his heart, and the whole world seemed to become quiet at that moment.

Zhou Wei listened to his heartbeat, and then looked at the sleeping person in his arms, and suddenly came to a very helpless conclusion - thirty-one, this age, even if he has experienced thousands of sails, but he is moved for a little girl.

……

Zhou Yan got up early in the morning the next day, the weather outside was gloomy, and he didn't go for a morning run, knowing that Chang An slept late last night, so he planned to make a breakfast and prepare it in the kitchen.

As soon as the fire was lit, footsteps came from the living room.

When I turned around, I saw Chang An coming over, and he was already dressed and tidyed, and he was wearing a pure black velvet skirt.

"It's still early, why do you wake up so early?"

Chang An didn't answer, but asked, "Are you going out?"

"Yes, I'm going out in the morning, I don't know when I'll be back, I'll help you make breakfast first. ”

Chang An glanced at the egg in his hand, and asked, "Are you going to Jin Xiaoxiao's funeral?"

Zhou Wei was stunned, he deliberately hid this from her, for fear that she would think crankily after she found out, but she was still discovered, probably when she called Xu Nan yesterday and asked him to order two wreaths to send, she heard it.

"Yes, go over and take a look, after all, it's because of me. ”

"Then I'll go with you. ”

Of course, Zhou disagreed.

"What are you going to do, stay at home. ”

"I just wanted to check it out. ”

"No way!"

"Why not? I know that Jin Xiaoxiao's family will definitely not welcome it, but when things have come to this point, I am not completely irresponsible, so I should send her on the last ride. ”

Chang An also has her own scale in her heart, and she admits what she should bear, not to mention that it is about human life, the dead are the greatest, and she should only do her part.

Zhou Wei saw that her attitude was insistent, and he could only relax.

……

After breakfast, the two went together, and Xiao Zhao drove.

It started to rain halfway, Chang An looked out the window and said half-jokingly: "It turns out that what is played on TV is not a lie, you see, the weather is more appropriate." ”

Zhou Wei: "......"

Jin Xiaoxiao's memorial service was held at the Yunling Funeral Home, and after parking the car, Zhou Wei got out of the car first, and took an umbrella to go around to pick up Chang'an.

Chang'an got off the bus.

Zhou Wei: "There are reporters!"

Looking over, I saw two media interview cars parked not far away, and Chang An's body shook obviously.

Zhou Wei: "Either you wait for me in the car, I'll go in and stick to the incense." ”

Chang An shook his head: "It's okay, I'll go in with you." ”

Zhou Wei could only press the umbrella down and half-hugged Chang An through the parking lot.

The memorial service is in the hall on the first floor, Jin Dafu has a whole floor, he has become more and more rooted in Yunling in recent years, and officials and businessmen from all walks of life have come and gone, so the wreaths have long been lined up from the hall to the corridor outside.

When Zhou Wei passed all the way, he looked at the name of the couplet on it, many of whom were acquaintances.

"Hello, please check in here!"

There was a sign-in desk at the door, and Zhou Wei and Chang An signed on it, and then the staff came over to pin the corsage and armbands for them.

Entering the hall is full of white chrysanthemums and couplets.

"Let's go inside. ”

Chang An followed Zhou Wei to walk in, mourning and silent faces, all seemed to be sorry for the disappearance of this flower girl, and then closer to the Lingtai, you can hear the chanting of the master and the monk, vaguely there seems to be a woman's cry, the cry is getting closer, Chang An saw the front with a white chrysanthemum woven background hanging a photo of the remains.

In fact, Chang An and Jin Xiaoxiao have only met once, and it was in that bad situation, so they didn't look carefully at all, but now there is a huge photo in front of them, black hair, big eyes, and a slap face, which is not particularly amazing, but it is also delicate, and the girl in the photo is smiling, the corners of her mouth are raised, revealing a mouthful of snow-white teeth.

I'm only twenty years old, and the excitement of life has not yet begun.

Chang An still couldn't help but feel suffocated, and Zhou Wei next to him had already felt it and helped his shoulder.

At this time, a commotion was heard, and the cry penetrated.

"This is the woman...... Is this bitch ......right?" a woman in mourning clothes rushed straight up and was about to pull Chang An.

Chang An hadn't reacted yet, and his body had been taken over by Zhou Wei.

"Mom, Mom, what are you doing? Jin Dafu also ran over when he heard the movement, but he grabbed the woman.

The woman kicked her legs and refused to give in.

"I want to kill her, I want to kill her to pay for Xiaoxiao's life......"

"Dafuwow, you are a wreck, I know that you are afraid of her...... But I'm not afraid, and I'm not afraid of any officials!"

“…… Don't stop me, you unfilial son, don't stop me!" the woman burst into tears, screaming and kicking her legs to Chang An's side.

Chang An trembled, and Zhou Wei tightly protected her in his arms.

Seeing that the scene was a little ugly, Jin Dafu still had a brain, and immediately shouted: "Come two people, take my mother away first." ”

The old man cried even harder, but soon two staff members came in, one left and one right, to pull her.

"Auntie, don't do this!"

"Mom, you go down first and slow down!"

The old man was forcibly taken down, but the crying continued.

"Let me tell you, don't think that your father can't do anything to you when he is an official...... People are doing it, and the sky is watching!"

“…… My daughter was killed by you, unjustly...... She's only twenty years old, so a good child...... Ah, Xiaoxiao, bitch, I won't let you go if I am a ghost in the future!"

The more the old man cried, the more he scolded, the more fierce he became, and he was carried through the entire hall heartbreakingly.

The voices all stopped, faded, and even the sound of chanting just now disappeared, but hundreds of pairs of eyes converged on Chang An.

Chang An's palms were sweaty, and he turned around slightly.

"Boss Kim...... I ......," she tried to steady her breath, "I want to come and put incense on your sister!"

Jin Dafu is also dressed in a white filial piety suit, and a straw is tied around his waist.

"Miss Chang......" Her eyes were already red as soon as she opened her mouth, but what came out was a sentence, "It's okay when you have your mind, you can go, my sister can't stand it!" After speaking, he turned his back and covered his eyes.

Think about it, it's probably really a wreck, he came out of his hometown to do things in his teens, moving bricks on the construction site, picking up waste, no background, all relying on a lonely heart to mix like this, suffering is not less, and the white eyes are not less, a grassroots licking people's buttocks is finally mixed like this, outsiders see that it is wind and water, but when it comes to his sister, he is gone, and he doesn't even dare to let go of a fart.

How could Chang An not know his feelings, probably hated and resentful, but he could only grit his teeth and swallow it in his stomach.

Zhou Wei already felt that the person in his arms was trembling, and he went to shake her palm, only to feel a hand of sweat.

"Let's go, obedient!"

But no matter how stubborn she was, she still pushed him away and walked to the front of the spiritual platform.

The people around automatically gave way to a circle, watched her smoke incense, dipped the fire on the candlestick, and knelt in front of the line.

Jin Xiaoxiao's portrait is above her head.

She took a breath, bowed her head, bowed, and the scriptures behind her resumed, and the monk began to knock on the wooden fish again.

The surroundings are quiet, and they don't even dare to say a word, who dares to say anything, she is Chang Wangde's daughter, but Chang An himself understands that all the scolding on the Internet disappeared within a day, and the police closed the case in just 24 hours, which does not mean that she is not wrong at all.

Chang An knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times seriously, but before he could get up, he heard three clappings from behind.

"Yes, Boss Jin has a good belly, and Secretary Chang's daughter is also a good guts!"

Chang An's back stiffened, stood up, turned around and saw the middle-aged man standing there clapping, and next to him was Chen Haodong, who was wearing a black dress half his head.
