Zhan Tingyu really stayed with his son, sitting from sunset to dusk, until late at night, and never waited for Shen Xiao.

For the next few days, Zixi stayed in front of the cabin, waiting for Shen Xiao, but she never waited for anything.

In the middle of summer evening, there are a lot of mosquitoes near the suburban pastures, and Zi Xi's body has inevitably been bitten by some red envelopes. Zhan Tingyu brought medicinal wine and smeared it on her little by little.

Under the night sky, Zixi looked at him quietly. Zhan Tingyu is really different from before, very different.

"Zhan Tingyu. She suddenly called his name, "If Shen Xiao comes back, you will let him go, right?"

"Hmm. Zhan Tingyu continued to smear the medicinal wine.

"You'll let me go, right?"

His hands froze, and then he continued to apply the medicinal wine, without answering her question.

Late at night, it started to rain lightly.

Zixi was awakened by the cold, but soon, she was swept into a warm embrace, and a big hand kept rubbing on the top of her head, gently and gently, with a certain soothing effect, and soon let her let down her guard and fall asleep again.

Suddenly, a muffled bang pierced the eardrum, Zixi woke up from the dream suddenly, reached out and touched the side of the bed, it was empty.

"Zhan Tingyu ......" she shouted the name, panicking in her heart.

There was a fight outside the house, and she walked out barefoot in the dark, and in the moonlight, in the drizzle, a group of people were fighting.

The moment she opened the door, a cold light burst through her face. Zixi's breathing froze at this moment, and in her pupils, she saw Zhan Tingyu's face constantly enlarged and enlarged in front of her eyes.

The dagger didn't fall on her after all, but it snorted and plunged into his flesh.

"Sir......" Zhu Hong exclaimed in surprise when he saw this, got rid of the two men in black beside him, and quickly walked over, looking at the men in the night who were endlessly pouring out of the surrounding groves, his expression suddenly cold, "We are surrounded." ”

There were more than so many people on the other side, there were many corpses lying on the ground, and there were many people pouring out of the grove next to them. It was too dark to see how many people there were, and the forest not far away was pitch black, as if there were millions of troops hidden, and the momentum was terrifying.

And Zhan Tingyu's side, apart from himself, there are only Zhu Hong and Zixi.

There is no suspense at all about victory or defeat.

Zhan Tingyu was stabbed, and the knife pierced his shoulder, and blood suddenly gushed out.

Zhu Hong frowned, "There are more and more people, Miss Gu, please take Mr. from the back, and I'll block it for a while." You can run as far as you can, and maybe you can run into the people we are rushing to and you will be out of danger. ”

Zi Xi subconsciously went to help Zhan Tingyu, but he grabbed his fingers and took them into his arms, "There is no way back, and if you enter that forest, it is a dead end." So, we can only go forward. ”

"But ......"

Zhu Hong wanted to say anything more, but Zhan Tingyu had already held the knife with one hand, protected Zixi with one hand, and blocked several knives.

They were forced into the rain, and the cold rain fell on their faces, cold and cold.

Zi Xi looked at the people around him who were constantly attacking, and his mind was in chaos. Zhan Tingyu was red-eyed, and he would never be empty with a knife, and he was almost killed by a knife.

But even so, they still couldn't move an inch, because there were too many people pouring in.

Two fists are hard to beat four hands, not to mention that Zhan Tingyu was also injured, and soon, he gradually became a little overwhelmed.

Zixi shouted at him, "Zhan Tingyu, you let go of me and go by yourself." Huh?"

Her voice was shouted, but it was quickly drowned out in the sound of rain and fighting, Zhan Tingyu glanced back at her, he was also soaked in the falling rain, but there was a hint of a smile in his handsome eyebrows, and when he heard her words, he clenched her shoulder harder, "In the future, I won't let go of your hand, again!"

Zi Xi's heart was slightly shocked, and she wanted to say that at this time, what is the meaning of saying that there are some and no ones, but before she could say anything, she saw a touch of light in the corner of her eye, and it shot towards them quickly.

It was a bullet, a bullet that passed through the rain curtain and shot straight at Zhan Tingyu.

"Sir!" Zhu Hong let out an exclamation and rushed over desperately, but it was too late.

Poof.

Zi Xi seemed to hear a muffled sound of a sharp blade entering the flesh, but he didn't seem to hear anything. The wind and rain around her were too loud, the rain blurred her vision, the wind blocked her hearing, she only saw Zhan Tingyu fall in front of her eyes, falling in a pool of blood, but she felt that the air and time were still at this moment.

"Sir!" Zhu Hong pounced and took over Zhan Tingyu, a big man who usually doesn't smile, and it was rare for him to choke in his throat at this time.

Zi Xi stood there in a daze, watching Zhan Tingyu stretch out his hand towards her, the rain hit his handsome face, Zhan Tingyu, who has always been high, was full of thirst between his eyebrows at this time.

She subconsciously stretched out her hand, but before her fingers touched his hand, her arm tightened, and then, she was pulled back a few steps and crashed into another embrace.

She looked up and saw a familiar face.

This face was once deeply engraved in her mind, this face once fell off a cliff, and this face was the knot in her heart that she had lived in hell for more than a year. But when she saw it at this moment, her heart hurt uncontrollably.

"Shen Xiao ......" seemed to have exhausted all her strength before she called out the name, but in the next second, her eyes turned black and she lost consciousness.

——————

Two days later.

It was a sunny day, Zixi moved from the Blue Bay Villa, and all the things that belonged to her were carried away.

A year and a half, since she stepped here, there is not a day when she doesn't want to leave, and now she can finally go, looking back, there is no joy in her heart.

Shen Xiao walked over, took her box with one hand, and held her hand with the other, "Let's go." ”

Zixi had a high fever for two days and had nightmares for two days. The scene in the dream is both real and unreal, she woke up, the first person she saw was Shen Xiao, and the first thing she said was to ask, "Zhan Tingyu ...... him"

Shen Xiao looked at him, a flash of hatred flashed in his eyes, "He's fine, he won't die." ”

Shen Xiao is back, Zhan Tingyu is seriously injured, and she is free.

But with Shen Xiao leaving, her heart was at a loss like never before.

She didn't see Zhan Tingyu again for half a year. He didn't show up again, some people said that he went to other places to recuperate after he was seriously injured, some people said that his power was deprived, and now the person who is in the cold city is no longer Zhan Tingyu, but Tan Qing.

And Shen Xiao is now one of Tan Qing's subordinates.

Shen Xiao took her back to the Gu family's old mansion, and the once dilapidated courtyard had been completely renewed. The garden is full of flowers and plants, and the old villa has obviously been renovated and renovated and has become vibrant, not the same as before.

Zixi's life is back on the original track, but many of the scenery and people around her no longer exist.

She didn't ask Shen Xiao any questions, such as what happened when he fell off the cliff, did he go to City B and stand in that cherry blossom forest that day, and why did he defect to Tan Qing's name?

Many questions were forcibly locked in her heart.

Now, in addition to doing things for Tan Qing, Shen Xiao accompanies her every day.

He still likes to wear white clothes as before, and his smile is still bright and warm. It's just that in his eyes, there is no longer the original purity.

His legs were a little lame as Zhan Tingyu said, and he was a little lame when he walked, and he felt very uncomfortable every time he saw it. She thought that it was all because of her, and since he was not dead, then they should be together.

It's okay to live in such a stable way, she is so tired and tired that she doesn't want to toss anymore. It's just that I often wake up from a nightmare in the middle of the night, I don't know why, staring at the hazy moonlight outside the window, and I always can't help but cry on my face. The place of the heart seems to be much empty, as if someone has poached such a piece.

Shen Yao forgave her, but when they were together, it was not as easy as before. It's as if something has happened, a pimple lying there, not that it won't exist if you don't mention it, but that it's always there, reminding you that everything that has happened is real.

At this moment, Zixi and Shen Yao were sitting in a milk tea shop.

"Pity, what are you drinking? I'll order it. Shen Yao put the bag down and said.

"Lemon milk tea bar. "Zixi is indeed a little tired.

"Okay. Shen Yao picked up her wallet and went to the bar to order food.

Zixi sat by the window, holding her cheeks and looking out of the window in a trance, not knowing what she was thinking.

Suddenly, a tall and familiar figure jumped into her sight. The boy had faded his youth, and his face was full of commercial smiles, which were familiar to her, and no more.

This shopping mall was originally Zhan Tingyu's, but now it is Tan Qing's, and it is handed over to Shen Xiao to take care of. So it's not surprising to see him here.

If it was before, Zixi would definitely go over to say hello, but now, she doesn't have that heart. Perhaps even she noticed that her mind was getting weaker and weaker.

Zi Xi was about to retract his gaze, but his gaze inadvertently fell on Shen Xiao's legs.

He was guiding a group of customers forward, babbling something out of his mouth, not noticing Zixi's gaze. And he was walking as he was talking, his feet were flying, and there was no sign of limping at all.

Zixi was stunned for a moment, thinking that he had seen it wrong, but he watched him walk in front of him through the glass window, and it couldn't be clearer anymore.

A vague consciousness was born in her mind, and Zixi's whole person froze fiercely.

Are Shen Xiao's legs and feet good?

But when he was at home, he was obviously lame, and once he almost tripped over the threshold because he was walking too quickly. He's been a little lame......

Zi Xi's heart was in turmoil, and before Shen Yao had ordered a good meal, he had already chased him out with his bag.

The mall was very large, and she followed behind the group of people unhurriedly, staring at Shen Xiao's feet with a pair of eyes, but she didn't know when her face was wet with tears.

Passers-by looked sideways at her, which also caught the attention of the gang in front. When Shen Xiao turned his head, he happened to collide with her gaze, and a look of shock suddenly appeared in his eyes, followed by embarrassment.

He sent the group of merchants and walked over to Zixi, "Zixi, why are you here?"

His brow was furrowed, his tone was displeased, and there seemed to be a hint of anger.

Zixi looked at his feet and smiled, "Your feet, when are they good?"

Shen Xiao's throat rolled up and down, but he didn't speak.

"Or are you not hurt at all?"

"It's a pity. Shen Xiao held her arm, "It's not what you think, I was indeed injured before, it's just ......"

She waited quietly for him to continue, but he couldn't say any more.

Shen Yao hurried over, "Pity, how can you ...... Brother?"

She looked at this, then at that, as if she suddenly understood something, "I'm sorry brother, I shouldn't have brought pity here......"

This sentence was like a thunderbolt hitting Zixi's head, she broke away from Shen Xiao's hand, looking at the two brothers and sisters, her chest seemed to be torn apart by something.

"Yaoyao, you already knew about it, right?"

Shen Yao: "Pity ......"

"If I hadn't found out, how long would you have been going to lie to me?"

In this world, she once had nothing to rely on her grandfather, except for her grandfather, she was most worthy of believing in Shen Xiao Shen Yao. But now, she has been slapped in the face by reality.

"I'm sorry, I can explain it to you......"

"Needless to say, I'm a normal person and I have my own judgment. I want to be alone and quiet, and don't follow me. ”

——————

She really wanted to be alone and quiet, and she needed to take care of everything, but she walked all the way, but she couldn't figure anything out. I walked and walked to the door of the Blue Bay Villa.

This courtyard is empty. It can be said that all the assets she knows about Zhan Tingyu are empty.

There was no one living here anymore, and the grass in the courtyard had grown taller, and it looked a little desolate.

She didn't deserve to be here, she was so afraid and hated here.

Zixi walked over, but saw that the lock of the courtyard door was open.

A thought flashed through her mind, and she suddenly pushed open the door and ran in, but almost collided with someone who came out of her face.

When they looked closely, both of them were shocked.

"Zi Xi?" Zhan Muling was carrying a bag in his hand, and when he saw Zi Xi, his expression was desolate, "I really didn't expect you to come here, I thought you would never want to come here in your life." ”

Zi Xi smiled bitterly, just now, she thought that it was Zhan Tingyu who had returned.

"How did you end up here?"

Zhan Muling lifted the bag in his hand, "There are still some things that the fourth brother hasn't taken away, I'll take them, it is estimated that this house will soon have his new owner." ”

Zixi nodded.

"If it's okay, I'm leaving. Don't stay here any longer. After Zhan Muling finished speaking, he turned around and left.

Zi Xi suddenly spoke, "Do you know where Zhan Tingyu went?"

Zhan Muling's figure paused, "I don't know." ”

Zixi was a little disappointed, "Thank you." ”

Even she couldn't tell where this disappointment came from.

Zhan Muling took a few steps forward, but finally stopped again, "There are some things that I think you should still know. ”

"What's the matter?"

"Would you like to hear about Shen Xiao?"

"Hmm. ”

The two of them found a place nearby to sit down, and Zhan Muling began her narration.

"In fact, after Shen Xiao fell off the cliff, it was the fourth brother who found him for the first time. At that time, Shen Xiao was covered in injuries, and almost half of his life was taken. The fourth brother pointed a gun at the old professor's neck and forced him to perform an operation, only to pull Shen Xiao back from the ghost gate. Later, because I was also looking for him, the fourth brother handed him over to me and told me that he didn't want anyone to know about it. So, you don't know, and Shen Xiao doesn't know either. ”

"After Shen Xiao woke up, it was like a different person, he became silent, no longer like to talk, and always thought about something silently. I asked him. He didn't say anything, and even though I had only been with him for a little over two weeks, the change in him was so noticeable. Later, when his injuries healed, he left without a sound, and I looked for him for a long time before I knew that he had gone to Tan Qing. ”

"I told the fourth brother about it, but the fourth brother said that he owed him all this. If he wants to beg for it, then he will give it, even if it is his life. It's just that he owes you, but he doesn't know how to pay it back. ”

"Shen Xiao's leg is actually good, I think the reason why he is hiding it is because he is afraid of losing you. ”

Zhan Muling finished speaking and looked at Zixi, "Anyway, you are lucky, at least you got what you wanted." The fourth brother has also fulfilled you, he only needs you to live well, and I guess this is why he refuses to show up. ”

As she spoke, she smiled bitterly again, "I didn't know much about love before, but I understood it in the fourth brother." To love someone is to want to give her everything, just hope that she will live well, and no longer hate him. ”

Zixi smiled bitterly, but tears flowed down unconsciously, yes, she didn't understand it before, thinking that liking is love. But the actual difference is huge.

In the evening, Zi Xi returned to the Gu family's old house, pushed the door in, and it was a smell of wine.

Before she could see the sobriety in the room, Shen Xiao drunkenly pounced, hugged her and began to kiss.

"Zi Xi, Zi Xi...... I love you, be with me, marry me, marry me......" he said drunkenly as he eagerly hugged her and kissed her.

Zi Xi pushed him away fiercely, and both of them hit the wall.

Shen Xiao looked at her, but smiled bitterly, "Zixi, you don't love me anymore, right?"

Zixi pursed her lips.

"You're in love with Zhan Tingyu, aren't you?"

Zixi frowned, "Shen Xiao, you drank too much." ”

With that, she turned and went upstairs.

Shen Xiao rushed over and hugged her from behind, "Zixi, I was wrong, I shouldn't lie to you." I'll admit that I'm a little sinister, but that's all because of the court, and that's what he owes me. He should have given it back to me, including you, all of them are mine. ”

Zi Xi reached out to break his hand, "Shen Xiao, you're drunk." ”

"No, I'm not drunk, I'm not drunk, I'm sober, more sober than ever. Zhan Tingyu is the devil, he killed the Gu family and killed Grandpa Gu, if it weren't for him, your life would be better. He's the one who ruined you, pity. ”

"I know. Zi Xi broke his hand vigorously and turned to face him, "I will not forget the hatred of the Gu family, and I will also remember my grandfather's death." But Shen Xiao, you're really drunk. ”

"Zi Xi, are you angry with me? Are you angry that I lied to you? Do you know? I care about you too much, but compared to Zhan Tingyu, I don't have any ability, the only thing I can do is to do my best to keep you by my side. Zixi, do you understand?"

Zixi pursed her lips and didn't speak.

Shen Xiao lowered his head and took out a delicate black box from his arms, opened it with a snap, and handed it to her, "Zixi, marry me, okay?" I will spend my life guarding you, and I will never deceive you and marry me." ”

There was a delicate diamond ring in the box, shining slightly, but it was a little dazzling to Zixi.

In the past, how many times she had dreamed of this scene, all of them were full of expectations, but now this scene has really happened, but it is no longer a thing.

Looking at Shen Xiao's eyes, Zixi blinked, "Marriage is a big deal, I need to think about it." ”

A person's life is short, but she has already had a marriage, and then she needs time to let go and accept happiness.

Shen Xiao's expression darkened, "Okay, I'll wait for you, no matter how long it takes, I'll wait for you." ”

——————

Zi regrets insomnia.

Looking at the hazy moonlight outside the field, there was nothing in her mind.

She didn't know what she was thinking and what she should be thinking at this moment, but she unconsciously remembered the Blue Bay Villa again.

Zhan Muling said that tomorrow there may be a new owner who will move over, what kind of person will it be? Will it be a happy family, a young strong woman, or a business elite like Zhan Tingyu?

She actually thought of Zhan Tingyu again...... Zi Xi rolled over, feeling a little incredible.

Zixi couldn't sleep, thinking of the note that Arnold gave her before, with Arnold's number on it. She sat up from the bed and found the note.

The number was still on it, Zixi hesitated for a while, but still dialed it with his mobile phone.

The phone rang twice and it was connected, and Arnold's voice came, "Hey, who's who?"

Zi Xi didn't know what to say for a while, opened his mouth, and spit out two words dryly, "Arnold." ”

There was a moment of silence, "Ma'am?"

Zixi lowered her eyes, "I'm not a wife anymore." ”

"In Arnold's mind, you will always be Mrs. ”

"......" Zixi didn't know how to answer, and there was a moment of silence.

Arnold said, "Madame, are you okay now?"

"Well, I'm fine, what about you?"

"I'm fine, I'm out of town now...... Work, wait to see you next time. Gentleman's business...... I've heard it all, don't be too upset, ma'am. I believe that Mr. is just trying to fulfill you, but in fact he loves you very much. ”

"Love me?" Zi Xi was a little surprised to hear the word from Arnold's mouth.

Zhan Tingyu loves her? How is this possible?
