Shen Xiao......

Doubts flashed in Zixi's heart, didn't he go to City A?

"Gu Zixi?" Xu Lai saw her distracted, raised his hand and waved in front of her eyes, "Although I don't know what happened to your family, but let's be classmates, if there is anything you need my help with, just ask." As long as I can help, I will try to help. ”

Xu Lai's smile was reflected in the sun, revealing a trace of warmth in his openness.

Zixi suddenly felt that living as frank and chic as her was also very enviable.

"Thank you. She thanked her, "I'm going to fetch hot water." ”

"Goodbye then. Xu Lai waved at her.

When the hot water was fetched, Xu Lai's face appeared in Zixi's mind again, "I'm here to find Shen Xiao." ”

She had 11,000 questions in her heart, didn't Shen Xiao go to City A? It's only been less than half a month, is he back?

The hot water was filled, overflowed from the mouth of the thermos, and splashed on the back of Zixi's hand.

Startled, she retracted her hand and quickly turned off the switch.

Walking back with a thermos bottle, I passed by the North Playground.

The north playground is a football field, and a few people are playing football, almost at first glance, Zixi saw the person wearing the No. 12 jersey, it was Shen Xiao!

And sure enough, he was back!

The tall and slender figure, the elder who pulls in the sun, follows the football, and runs on the field.

He has always played football very well, Zixi still remembers that when he was in high school, he was on the campus football team, and every time he went outside to participate in a game on behalf of the school, Zixi would not miss it.

At that time, she would always hold her chin and look at the handsome back in the court, and her heart would bloom......

And now, the flowers have dried up.

The last bit of hope and seed was also extinguished by her hatred.

Zixi's hand unconsciously touched her lower abdomen, and from the moment she chose to carry hatred on her back, they were destined to go against each other for the rest of their lives.

The entrance of the winery.

The security guard stopped the slender girl and recognized it at a glance, "It's you?"

The last time she came, she happened to be on duty with this security guard, so the security guard recognized her.

Gu Ruo pursed her lips, "I'm looking for Mr. Tan, is he there?"

Because of Tan Qing's interview last time, the security guard knew that this girl was not ordinary, and her well-behaved and clean appearance was also a weapon for adding points. He nodded, "Wait a minute." ”

Still the same as last time, I first called Manager Mo on the walkie-talkie.

A young man's voice came over the intercom, "Let her in." ”

"Okay. The security guard let Gu Ruo in, but he couldn't help but look at her twice, and thought to himself: What is the relationship between this girl and Mr. Tan? Ordinary people can't get in here.

Gu Ruo walked in, and as soon as he entered the door, someone immediately walked over, not the young man last time, this time it was replaced by a younger girl, slightly chubby, and very cute.

She bowed slightly at Gu Ruo, "Miss Gu Ruo, is it?"

Gu Ruo hates that others call her "Miss Gu Ruo", because everyone calls her that, and when she calls Gu Zixi, she directly calls her "Miss Gu", as if she deliberately wants to distinguish her. And shouting "Miss Gu Ruo" with a surname will not seem so respectful.

She smiled, "Just call me Miss Gu." ”

The girl was slightly stunned, and then changed her words, "Miss Gu, Mr. Tan is not here for the time being, he instructed me, if you have anything or something, you can tell me, and I will tell you on my behalf." Or, I'll write it down for you with a pen and paper and wait for my husband to come back and write it down. ”

Gu Ruo thought for a while, "Actually, I don't have anything to do, I just want to tell him that my sister and I have been kicked out of the Blue Bay Villa." My sister went back to the school dormitory and I had nowhere to live. ”

"Okay. The fat girl nodded, "Anything else?"

Gu Ruo pursed her lips and shook her head.

The fat girl paused, "Mr. said, if Miss Gu encounters any difficulties, she can speak directly." ”

Gu Ruo said: "I need to find a place to live now, and then I need a sum of money." ”

"Okay. The fat girl didn't blink her eyes, and her expression didn't change, "How much do you need?" ”

Gu Ruo thought for a while, "Ten thousand." ”

"Okay, please wait. The fat girl turned and walked away.

Came back a moment later with two things, a room card and an envelope with money.

handed both things to Gu Ruo, "This is the room card of the Imperial Hotel, it is 10,000 yuan in cash, and there is a car waiting to send you over outside the door." ”

Gu Ruo reached out and took the two things, "Thank you." ”

Then left the winery.

Blue Bay Villas.

Almost as soon as Zhan Tingyu pushed the door in, he immediately sensed that something was wrong with the atmosphere in the hall.

At the shoe cabinet, there were several pairs of shoes missing at once.

When I turned the hallway, I saw a middle-aged woman sitting in the living room drinking tea slowly, and my eyebrows immediately wrinkled.

He walked over and stared at the woman on the sofa with a not very good-looking face, "Why are you here?"

The middle-aged lady coughed lightly, took the teacup away from her lips, turned over slightly, frowned and shouted in the direction of the kitchen, "Aunt Wu!"

There was a sigh in the kitchen, and Aunt Wu walked out of it while wiping her hands, and when she saw Zhan Tingyu, she bent down slightly, "Mr. is back." ”

After that, he said respectfully to the lady on the sofa, "Madam." ”

Click!

The lady gently put the cup in her hand on the coffee table, "I asked you to pour me hot water, it's cold, the tea still smells fishy, what do you tell me to drink?"

Aunt Wu said that when she poured it before, the water temperature was just right, but after a long time, the lady picked it up and drank it, so it was cold. As for the smell of tea...... Zhan Tingyu and Gu Zixi usually don't like to drink tea, and the only Biluochun in the villa has always been placed on the top of the refrigerator, and no one has touched it at all.

Aunt Wu was careful, and she smelled it a few times before making tea, and made sure that it was good.

"What are you doing there, why don't you take it away and re-soak it for me. Seeing that Aunt Wu was standing there without moving, the noblewoman's voice became unpleasant.

"Yes. Aunt Wu had no choice but to step forward and remove the teacup.

The noble lady raised her hand and brushed down her sleeves before she looked at Zhan Tingyu, "Tingyu, you are really becoming more and more impolite, why do you have such an expression when you see your mother?

Although she was very dissatisfied, her eyes when she looked at Zhan Tingyu were still full of love and doting.

Because after all, this is the only son in her life!

Although he has been incompatible with her since he was a child, although he has always been at odds with mother and son, this is her son after all. Blood is thicker than water, which is the eternal last word.

Zhan Tingyu looked at her expressionlessly, and the corners of his lips hooked a touch of sarcasm that was not salty, "More than ten years ago, I didn't have a mother. This is not the place for you, so please leave now. ”

Zhan Tingyu obviously didn't want to say anything more to her, and was about to go upstairs after the eviction order.

"Ting Yu. The noblewoman's voice sounded slowly behind her, gentle but with a little coolness, she lowered her head, her fingers gently stroked the gold embroidered begonia flowers on the sleeves, and her voice was so noble and elegant, "I heard that the third child of the Zhan family is about to wake up, aren't you panicking?"

The third eldest member of the Zhan family, Zhan Tingnan, is Zhan Tingyu's half-brother.

A car accident three years ago left him unconscious and a semi-comatose vegetative state, which he lay down for three years.

And now, he's waking up.

"You should know better than me what it means to you that the third child wakes up. The lady slowly stood up from the sofa and looked at Zhan Tingyu's tall back, "I'm coming back to help you." ”

Zhan Tingyu sneered, "You think I'll be afraid?"

Since more than ten years ago, when his father died in front of his eyes, he was left alone.

Alone from a warrior who is as complicated as a snake's lair, to a warrior who is now dominant, isn't he just relying on a cold and cruel heart?

The noble lady sighed, "Tingyu, don't be so tough, you need my help." ”

Zhan Tingyu stared at her eyes, but smiled coldly, "Zhan Tingnan won't wake up, he won't wake up in this life, you can rest assured." ”

The noble lady was stunned, her eyes stared at the smile on the corner of his mouth, and she only felt a chill rising from the bottom of her heart.

"Ting Yu ......" The lady was in a trance, and wanted to say something more, but he had already dropped two words and turned upstairs.

"Don't send it!"

Zhan Tingyu went upstairs, turned his steps, and went directly to Gu Zixi's room, but when he opened the door, the room was cold and cold.

His subordinates had already reported to him, but he didn't know why, so he had to come up and confirm it in person, as if he was relieved.

He thought she wouldn't dare!

It wasn't until he saw this empty room with his own eyes that he once again had a new refresh of Gu Zixi's courage.

And sure enough, she was gone!

Good, good, great!

In this world, as long as he Zhan Tingyu fancies, he doesn't say let go, even if he dies, he will die in his hands!

Zixi slept with her head covered in the dormitory, and when she woke up, it was already seven o'clock in the evening.

Grumbling with hunger, she lifted the quilt and got out of bed, washed her face, and walked out of the dormitory in the moonlight.

There is a snack street north of the dormitory, and there are a lot of delicious snacks at night, I remember that I always came to eat with Shen Yao before.

During this period of time, she was confined to Zhan Tingyu at home, almost completely cut off from the outside world. This time she "regained her freedom", she didn't turn on her mobile phone, and she didn't tell Shen Yao when she moved back to the school dormitory.

She is now like a salted fish on the sticky board, and Zhan Tingyu is a knife in hot pursuit.

She knew she couldn't jump out of the palm of his hand.

Sooner or later, he'll find it.

With a brisk pace, Zixi arrived at the snack street, ordered a bowl of steaming wontons, and sat at the table to wait.

On the opposite side of the snack street, there is a community, and the business here does not seem deserted because of the holiday, and at night, there are also people shuttling back and forth in the bursts of food and fragrance, which seems to be very lively.

It's been a long time since I've experienced such a bustle, Zixi looked at the lively scene in front of him, and couldn't help but think of the coldness in the Blue Bay villa in his mind.

The villa with the war court is deserted.

There is no villa in Zhan Tingyu, and it is even more deserted.

In short, it was just a cold cage, without any warmth and tenderness in Zixi's eyes.

There was an extra person in front of the wonton stall, a slender black figure, and a face that turned all beings upside down.

"A bowl of ravioli. The man said a word to the stall owner, and then looked at Zixi, smiling slightly.

Zi Xi also smiled back.

The man put his hands in his pockets and walked towards Zixi's position.

"Miss Gu, do you mind if I share a table?" The man's smile is always so gentle, like a middle-aged uncle who has gone through vicissitudes but is full of tenderness, and is harmless to everything in this world.

Zixi nodded, "It's my honor to be at the table with Mr. Tan. ”

Tan Qing sat down on the bench opposite her, her hands still in her pockets, and her gentle and elegant figure looked out of place in front of this humble stall.

It's like a Buddha who is high up, and suddenly arrives in the slums, which is very eye-catching. So much so that Tan Qingguang sat there quietly, and he had already become the focus of the audience.

After a while, the first bowl of wontons was served.

"I didn't put the green onions, it was mine. Zixi glanced at the wontons in the bowl and rubbed the disposable chopsticks away, "Mr. Tan, I'll eat first." ”

Tan Qing smiled, "Please." ”

Zi Xi took one and blew it, then took a bite, chewed it twice, and suddenly opened his eyes wide, "This...... Not minced meat?"

She ordered fresh meat filling, but this bite went down to bite the dish.

Obviously, this bowl was not what she ordered.

Tan Qing glanced at her bowl and said lightly, "I ordered what you ate." ”

Zixi was almost burned, "I'm sorry, I ......"

She wanted to say that she didn't mean to, because she came first, and she thought that the first bowl must be her own. And she has a characteristic of eating, that is, she doesn't like to put green onions......

"Mr. Tan doesn't like green onions either?"

Tan Qing nodded, "The taste of green onions is not suitable for me." ”

It turned out to be people with the same taste.

It's no wonder she mistook his wontons for hers. Although she only ate one, this bowl was touched for her after all, and it was impossible to return it to Tan Qing.

He's the boss of the underworld, how can he eat other people's leftovers?

Zi Xi was embarrassed, "I'll order you a bowl again." ”

As soon as he stood up, he saw Tan Qing elegantly dialing the bowl of wontons in front of him, "It's okay, this bowl is clean, don't waste it." ”

"But ......"

Zixi wanted to say, but I had eaten one, and the chopsticks and spoon were all touched by her lips......

Before she could say anything, she saw that Tan Qing had already picked up a wonton with chopsticks, blew it, and put it in her mouth.

Zixi: "......"

Why do you suddenly feel so embarrassed?

"Mr. Tan, I'd better order you another bowl......"

Otherwise, how can she change the double bowls and chopsticks, and she will give him food when she eats, no matter how you look at it, there is a kind of hazy ambiguity.

"No, I don't. Tan Qing waved his hand, his expression was not half uncomfortable, "I'm not so particular." You know? When I first entered the Tao ten years ago, I couldn't afford to eat such a bowl of hot wontons. ”

Hearing him mention the past, Zi Xi was slightly surprised, "Mr. Tan must have suffered a lot." My grandfather always said that only when you suffer hardship can you become a superior person. Those who can endure the great sufferings of the world will have something extraordinary in the future. ”

Tan Qing smiled slightly, "Yes, I often couldn't eat and clothe at the beginning, and I still remember squatting at the door of someone's bun shop every night." When I wait for the stall to close, I throw all the stale buns into the trash, and I will pick them up at that time. ”

Speaking of this, he didn't have any embarrassment on his face, nor did he shy away from it, feeling that it would be a loss of face to say this in his current capacity.

On the contrary, he was calm and relieved.

Zixi seems to be able to see him ten years ago through the eyes of him, although he is thin and depressed, he is unyielding and extraordinary from his bones.

Some people are destined to be extraordinary, such as Zhan Tingyu and Tan Qing.

It's just that if this extraordinary needs to be forged with the blood and lives of countless people, she would rather not be a pity.

This world is so beautiful, if she can, she hopes to be a gentle person, gentle with time, gentle with years, gentle with those around her, and gentle with all. In the gentle time, the gentle aging, and finally, the gentle and elegant departure from this world.

"What are you thinking?" Tan Qing's voice pulled Zixi's thoughts back to reality.

Zi Xi found out that another bowl of wontons had been served.

"Nothing. She smiled, threw aside all the confusion that had been wrong in her mind, and bowed her head to eat the ravioli.

"Hmm. Delicious. Zi Xi was satisfied with eating, and his eyebrows and eyes were crooked.

Tan Qing looked at her, and her eyebrows were gentle.

After eating the wontons, the proprietress came to collect the money, Tan Qing looked at Zixi, "Miss Gu, I don't have any change on me, can you invite me to eat?"

Zixi was stunned for a moment.

A person of Tan Qing's status is definitely not alone when he goes out. Presumably, his subordinates must be hidden in the shadows, but she can't see or detect it.

He probably didn't really have any change with him, just like she had seen Zhan Tingyu's wallet, which had almost no cash except for a dozen shiny cards.

The world of the rich is sometimes terrifying.

Zixi nodded happily, "It's my honor to invite Mr. Tan." ”

Take out your wallet, take out two pieces of change from it and give them to the proprietress .

After eating, Zixi said goodbye to Tan Qing, but Tan Qing said, "I'll send you back." ”

Zixi was stunned for a moment, "Mr. Tan has something to tell me?"

Tan Qing shook his head, "I just want to send you away." ”

Zixi thought for a while, "Okay." ”

From the snack street to the campus, the further you go inside, the quieter it becomes. In particular, you have to walk through a small forest, which is especially quiet at night.

The two walked side by side, and there was hardly any sound around them, except for the sound of insects chirping and the rustle of the wind blowing in the treetops, as well as the footsteps of the two of them.

The foliage overhead is luxuriant, and some of the foliage extensions have already obscured most of the street lights, so those places are dim.

Zixi walked on the side of the road, bowing her head and thinking about her own thoughts. A wild cat scurried in the bushes next to Leng Buding, making a noise in the bushes, which frightened Zi Xi.

In the next second, her left wrist tightened, and she was held by a strong big hand and brought into her arms.

Zixi plunged into Tan Qing's arms, and her brain was a little confused.

When the cat was far away and didn't move, Zi Xi subconsciously raised his head, but suddenly crashed into Tan Qing's deep ink-like eyes.

His hand was still gripping her wrist, warm, gentle, but scorching.

The dark pupils stared into her eyes, and a deep voice spilled out of his throat, "Are you alright?"

Zixi came back to his senses, "It's okay." ”

Quickly withdrew from his arms, "Thank you." ”

Tan Qing still had a signature gentle smile on his face, "There is no one in the school during the holidays, and I still try not to walk alone at night, a girl is easy to be scared." ”

The tone is inexplicably gentle and caring.

Zixi lowered her head, "Well, thank you Mr. Tan for your concern." ”

After leaving the grove and walking a little further, you will see the dormitory building.

Zi Xi was in a silvery white moonlight, and before seeing the dormitory building, he first saw the black car parked outside the courtyard downstairs. Like its owner, it is as quiet as a ghost attached to the night, and when you are not paying attention, it will open its fangs, bite you hard, and slowly swallow it into your stomach.

Zixi's footsteps couldn't help but pause, she knew that what should come would always come, but she didn't expect it to come so soon!

Demons, everywhere!

Tan Qing also saw the car, he glanced sideways at the girl next to him slightly, saw her taut jaw arc, and a touch of anger flashed in his eyes.

But he didn't say anything, just followed quietly, and kept going that way.

The windows of the car were closed, and it was impossible to see if there was anyone inside. It's a pity that Zizi just feels that a pair of fierce eyes stick to her, like a shadow, suffocating.

Every time she took a step forward, the suffocation felt heavier, like a drowning person, the more she struggled, the more powerless she became, the more she tried to swim to the shore, the more her body sank to the bottom of the lake.

At this moment, she actually had a trace of regret in her heart: did she choose the wrong path?

If you just let go of the hatred, parting ways will be a better outcome.

Because she has been injured for too long, she longs too much for the sunshine, and she longs too much for the life she yearns for.

Five-meter ......

Four-meter ......

Three-meter ......

Two meters ......

One meter ......

Zixi's fingers clenched tighter and tighter, and she seemed to see the car lock on the passenger door move, as if someone was about to get off from it.

She clenched her fingers so hard that her teeth almost cracked into the corners of her lips.

But in the next second, there was a strange figure beside the car, and she saw a girl in red clothes, bending down and knocking on the car window.

The window of the car was lowered, and the light and shadow inside were dim, and it was almost impossible to see the faces of the people inside when standing far away, only the black suit, the white shirt as white as snow that contrasted with the color of the suit, and a cold and hard chin.

These few points alone are enough to carefully recognize who that person is.

Except for demons, or demons!

Zixi couldn't see his expression clearly, only saw the girl shouting into the car, "Fourth brother, did you come to me on purpose?"

Fourth brother?

Zi Xi was stunned for a moment, and the one in front of him was ...... The fifth lady of the Zhan family, Zhan Muling?

It's just that Zhan Muling has been abroad all along, when did he come back, and is he still here?

Without waiting for Zixi to think clearly, Zhan Muling said again: "I know that the fourth brother loves me the most." Fourth brother, are you worried about me, so you came to see me? My dormitory has been arranged, do you want to go and have a look?"

The thin lips of the man in the car opened and closed a few times, Zixi didn't hear his voice, but from that mouth, it was a cold three words, "Not interested!"

A gentle palm suddenly fell on his shoulder, Zi Xi turned his head to Tan Qing's gentle face, and he said to her, "Go in." ”
