19. Zi Ao

The shirt sucked most of the water droplets off Huo Chen's short hair, and the fabric on his chest was wet, and he lifted the collar and half-pursed his thin lips.

The gentle eyes looked straight at Ning Die, as if he wanted to suck Ning Die into his bones.

In just half a minute, he turned his head to the side again, it was rare for him to speak calmly with Ning Die, and his tone was a little stiff: "What are you afraid of, I won't eat you." โ€

After speaking, he strode to the door and lifted the curtain, and walked resolutely.

Ning Die sighed faintly, followed out of this room, and went to the next door to wash.

In the evening, before the sky was completely dark, Ning Die lived in Lin Laiyu's tent, and the two sisters were half-lying on the bed together, with a bright tile lamp above their heads, illuminating the room without a trace of dark light.

This tent does not have any extra furniture except for the folding bed, and most of the rest of the actors are two people in one room, only they have few women, Yuan Luan is troublesome to move, and still lives in the previous farmhouse, so the extra is enough for the rest of the women to have a room.

Of course, this does not include Ning Die.

The two were chatting about some common things, and someone outside the door asked if Miss Ning had fallen asleep.

Ning Die got out of bed in her clothes, and Huo Cheng's two maids stood outside, one holding a quilt and the other holding a stove to smoke incense and the like. This must be Huo Cheng's order.

Ning Die asked them to put their things down, Lin Laiyu ate snacks on the bed, and threw the fried salt peanuts into her mouth, she smiled: "Mr. Huo, this is reluctant for you to suffer, you, put that golden tent and don't sleep, you insist on squeezing me." โ€

She was rescued by Mr. Huo once, and she had a very good impression of Mr. Huo, at least on the outside, the other party did not look like those oily and powdery noblemen in the southwest, with an empty pair of skins.

Ning Die broke her bite, making a gesture to tickle Lin Laiyu, daring to make fun of herself like this.

The two maids put down their things and left, Lin Laiyu hummed and avoided Ning Die's claws, and his mouth was unforgiving, "I think Mr. Huo has taken a fancy to you, you tell me honestly, how far have you developed." โ€

The two laughed and rolled together, and after a long time, they were tired, Ning Die's movements slowed down, and said, "It's impossible for me to talk with him, you are not allowed to talk nonsense in the future." โ€

"Yes, yes, after all, there is still a Mr. Chen Ziao!"

Ning Die's claws were about to attack again, and Lin Laiyu begged for mercy: "I won't say it, I won't say it, you see, I got all the peanuts on the bed." โ€

At this time, both of them jumped out of bed and began to clean up the sheets, and Ning Die was busy counting down Lin Laiyu's bad habit of eating snacks on the bed.

Someone outside the door called Ning Die again and asked if she had slept.

Lin Laiyu was shaking the peanut crumbs with the corner of the quilt, "It's lively tonight." โ€

"Come on," Ning Die said, putting on her coat, "come in." โ€

The person who came this time was Feng Xiuxiu, holding an envelope, and when he came in, he smelled the incense in the tent, thinking that it was used to repel insects and calm the nerves.

She was a little apprehensive in her heart, her face was general, and she said formulaically: "The people from the post office under the mountain sent the letter, and I took it for you when you were not there." โ€

Ning Die took the letter with thanks, the letter is the standard envelope of the Southwest Post Office, printed with the lakeside scenery of the southwest, this is a letter from the southwest.

She was overjoyed, and when she saw the familiar three words "Chen Ziao" on the cover, she was even more energetic, she had left a message address in their "secret base" before coming to Bingzhou, but she didn't expect him to really send a letter over.

Looking at the date of the postmark, this letter has been on the road for several days, Ning Die couldn't wait to open the letter, and on the white paper was a neat line of ink-colored pen words, written with two lines of small poems:

"Thinking is long and there is no place to return, and my heart is full of worries,

The eyes are deep and difficult to understand, and the love is like a light going out. โ€

Every word of this is like an ant incarnated, biting Ning Die's heart, crispy and numb.

At the end of the letter was a temptation from Chen Ziao: Ning Die, I want to see you.

Their pen pals have finally crossed over to becoming real friends.

Ning Die held the letter on her chest, and she had admired Chen Ziao's talent for more than a year, and thought more than once about what kind of person he would be in reality.

Feng Xiuxiu delivered the letter, and couldn't help but envy Ning Die, who else would care about her besides herself.

As Lin Laiyu said, tonight is lively, Feng Xiuxiu didn't have time to leave, Yuan Luan's assistant Xiao Chen came next, he opened the curtain and saw so many people in the tent for a moment, and then smiled: "It turns out that Miss Ning is here." โ€

Ning Die put the letter under the pillow and hurriedly received the guests, Xiao Chen held a black gift box in his hand, tied with a bow ornament, he stuffed things to Ning Die, and said: "I thought you were in Mr. Huo's place, and you planned to let Miss Lin hand it over, but it seems that you don't need it." โ€

Ning Die was puzzled, "What are you ......?"

"Sister Yuan has been working for you to take care of you before, and it is too vulgar to send money and silver, and everyone will be separated tomorrow, so Sister Yuan wants to give you a set of dresses, as a commemoration, she planned to come in person, but she was busy discussing the filming schedule with the director, and she couldn't spare a moment to open the time."

It's just a few porridges, Ning Die feels that this gift is precious, but if she doesn't take it, it seems to be a little family, so it's better to return Sister Yuan's love after taking it, thinking like this, Ning Die accepted the things and thanked her again and again.

Xiao Chen's expression relaxed, he thought it would take a lot of speech.

When the things were delivered, Xiao Chen, the woman's residence, was not easy to stay for a long time, and when he left, he said some kind words such as talking about it later.

Lin Laiyu leaned over with a smile, "Let's see what kind of evening dress it looks like." โ€

When the box was opened, it was very good, the turquoise long skirt of the British dress, the design of the group tail swing was very elegant, Lin Laiyu couldn't help but compare the skirt to herself, if she changed into this dress, why worry that she was not eye-catching enough.

She and Ning Die were discussing happily, Feng Xiuxiu rushed up coldly and tore her skirt to the ground, she was angry, and stepped on her feet fiercely.

Lin Laiyu was so anxious that she pushed her away, what kind of mess did a good piece of clothing do, Ning Die picked it up, and patted the footprints on it carefully, this is a silk skirt, once it is wrinkled and dirty, it is difficult to restore its original appearance.

"What are you doing here!" Lin Laiyu was furious, and Feng Xiuxiu's behavior was clearly a provocation.

Ning Die also said: "Yes, this dress is worth a lot of money, and it was given by Sister Yuan." โ€

"Ning Die!" Feng Xiuxiu had tears in her eyes, clenched her fists with grievance, she was inferior to Ning Die, she liked her one by one, "You steal the show with me, compete with me for the limelight, let the whole crew laugh at me for acting worse than a maid, you are still robbing Sister Yuan with me, you know that I like her, you still stutter!" โ€

"No...... No, Feng Xiuxiu ......"

"Don't talk!" Feng Xiuxiu interrupted Ning Die's words in a frequent, her face was bloodshot, the green tendons were beating clearly one by one, her usually pure and bright round eyes were full of crazy hatred, she didn't want to hear anything, there was a big stone on her chest, she would collapse if she didn't push it away, she roared, "Ning Die, I hate your fake face the most, you rely on your kindness to buy everyone, I feel disgusted when I see you, like eating fish and meat overnight on a hot day, rancid and dirty, who do you think you are?" Actually, you also hate me, why are you polite to me? If you are like Lin Laiyu and say bluntly that you don't like me, I may feel better. โ€

Ning Die was scolded by her, she never realized that Feng Xiuxiu had such a deep prejudice against her.

"What are you pretending! Do you think you're good to everyone and everyone likes you! You're just a shitty โ–กโ–ก......."

Smack-

Ning Die's slap ended the farce instantly, she looked at her palms in a trance, and the moment she finished the fight, she began to regret it, seeing Feng Xiuxiu's left cheek suddenly red and swollen, Ning Die was silent and did not speak.

Feng Xiuxiu was still staring at her watery eyes, and her hands slowly covered her face, she felt really ashamed, and she was carried away by jealousy.

"What do you see," Lin Laiyu glared back unconvincedly, Feng Xiuxiu turned her head stubbornly, and rushed out of the tent crying.

Ning Die sat on the bed weakly, unable to tell whether it was guilt or sadness for Feng Xiuxiu's words.

"Okay," Lin Laiyu came over and hugged her shoulders and said with relief, "She is a spoiled young lady, thinking that everything should be as she wants, tonight she is so quick to speak, she will definitely regret it when she gets up tomorrow morning, besides, what kind of person is she, what she says has always made people uncomfortable, you don't care about her words, I will teach her a lesson for you." โ€

Ning Die shook her head a little tiredly, she was already a person who had lived two lives, and after calming down carefully, there was something she couldn't see, she patted the back of Lin Laiyu's hand and said, "Rest early, I have to catch the train tomorrow, this is just the first time I've beaten someone, and I'm panicked,"

Lin Laiyu hugged her, in a half-coquettish tone, "My Ning Die always has a good heart. โ€

"Come on, after this Xiuxiu made a fuss, I don't want to hear this anymore," Ning Die smiled bitterly, and after speaking, she went to pull the quilt and urged Lin Laiyu to go to bed early.

This night, Ning Die kept frowning from sleep, and she was always uneasy in her heart.

After the final filming of the academy scene in the early morning, everyone packed their luggage and tents, and hurried down the mountain to take the train back to the southwest.

It was a day earlier than the estimated time to go back.

After counting the number of people, Cui Zhizhen reported to the director, and Feng Xiuxiu was gone.

"Where else can I go? Not on site in the morning when filming? Wen Guo stood in the morning breeze with his hands behind his back and looked around at the crowd around him, he really didn't see this girl, he remembered that Feng Xiuxiu's role had already been completed.

He rushed to release the movie after the New Year, and it was a day to save one more day, and there was no time to waste, so he asked Cui Zhizhen to find two good people to look for it together, and not even leave the pit.

Cui Zhizhen called two men to go together, and came back half an hour later, saying, "I still haven't found anyone." โ€

It's really troublesome, Wen Guo exhaled a long breath, and he couldn't leave the little girl alone, in order to save time, he could only let everyone find it together.

He used a loudspeaker to tell the story of the incident, and everyone dispersed to find someone, and then gathered at the entrance of the village in an hour.

Ning Die's hand holding the handkerchief tightened when she heard the news, and Lin Laiyu, who was with her, said when she saw this: "Don't think about it, let's go ask the villagers now to see if there are any clues, maybe she is greedy for fun and goes out for a walk." โ€

After asking the villagers around, the only news was that the person might be in the back mountain.

Ning Die could only say to Lin Laiyu: "You and I will look for it separately in the back mountain, and we will meet at this intersection later." โ€

It rained heavily, and thunderbolts smashed it on the ground, quickly blurring people's vision.

The soil in the mountains is soft, and the wind blows everywhere with the whistling of leaves.

The rain came suddenly, and the crew, who were looking for people on the mountainside, turned around and returned to the farmhouse to take shelter from the rain.

Huo Cheng was busy with official business, his tent was not closed, and when he heard the movement outside, the sound of the rain mixed with the sound of people running back and forth, asked Li Hao, who was sitting on the side to sort out the papers, "What's going on outside?" โ€

Li Hao opened the curtain and called a young man who was running to the farmhouse in the rain to ask questions, and in a few words to find out the situation, he relayed Feng Xiuxiu's matter to Huo Cheng.

"See if there are any raincoats in the materials we brought, and if so, distribute them." Huo Cheng didn't raise his head and said authentically.

Li Hao listened to the order, went out with an umbrella for less than a few minutes, and then turned back.

He gasped for air, and the hem of his kaftan was covered in mud.

Seeing him, Huo Cheng asked, "What's wrong?" โ€

"I just heard that Miss Ning didn't come back in the back mountain."

The next moment Huo Cheng had already stood up from the chair, he didn't care about putting on his coat, just a simple and thin casual suit, Li Hao hurried to hold an umbrella for him, but Huo Cheng's footsteps were too fast, he had to trot.

Huo Cheng arrived at the crowded farmhouse and asked directly, "What happened to Ning Die?" โ€

He is imposing, not angry and arrogant, none of the actors who are hiding from the rain dare to answer rashly, and Yuan Luan, who was conspicuous in the crowd, said: "I have been with Miss Lin Laiyu before, I heard from over there that she is missing, and the director and Mu Feng are looking for someone at Houshankouzi." โ€

After listening to this, Huo Cheng turned around and rushed to Houshankouzi, the low pressure disappeared, and the people in the room suddenly felt relieved.

There were not only crew members at the back mountain pass, but also two local villagers, who saw that someone was going to the back mountain and deliberately came out to stop them.

"It's raining so hard, you can't go to the back mountain, be careful that the landslide will kill people." One of the old men said.

Another young man interjected: "You guys are looking for people, and if you stop looking, you will lose your life if you don't make any trouble here." โ€

Wen Guo was in a dilemma, Lin Laiyu saw Mr. Huo coming, as if he had seen a savior, he jumped up and grabbed Huo Cheng's sleeve and said, "Mr. Huo, Ning Die made an appointment to meet me here in an hour, but she never came out." โ€

Huo Cheng didn't have time to respond to her, and after he heard the words of the villagers, he directly pushed Lin Laiyu under Li Hao's umbrella and said to Li Hao: "You send Miss Lin back to the farmhouse, don't let her catch a cold." โ€

"Mr. Huo......" Wen Guo was frightened, "Miss Ning, she ...... It was my mistake and I ......"

Huo Cheng didn't have time to blame anyone, he took off the jacket of his suit and spread it on top of his head, and his body ran directly into the mountains like an arrow off the string.

"Mr. Huoโ€”" Behind him was a unanimous exclamation.

The suit was completely soaked, and the rain had made the mountain scene hazy, with potholes, and the light in the empty mountain was dark, and the clouds were piling up, as if the rain was going to fall endlessly.

Huo Cheng first searched for the path where people often walked, he called Ning Die's name, there was no one around, and he began to look for the most difficult barren grassland to walk.

"Ning Dieโ€”" he continued to shout.

This time, he finally paid off, and he picked up a woman's embroidered shoe in the weedy field.

It must be in front, Huo Cheng squeezed his shoes tightly and slid down the slope of the grass.

Sure enough, Ning Die sat under a protruding stone at the bottom of the slope to shelter from the rain, and the cheongsam and coat on her body were not much better than Huo Cheng's, and they were also completely fished out of the water.

"Ning Die!" He shouted.

Ning Die didn't expect him to come here, she originally planned to go back directly to the place where she had made an appointment with Lin Laiyu, but it was raining heavily, but she got lost, and the more she walked, the more wrong she became, she accidentally fell down the slope and sprained her foot, so she had to sit here and wait for Lin Laiyu to come to her.

Huo Cheng ran to her, squatted down and looked at her eye level, he saw that she was shivering from the cold, he couldn't help but hold the person in his arms, carefully confirmed that Ning Die was okay before letting go of Ning Die, he saw that her right ankle that had lost her shoes was swollen and high, and the shoes could not be worn, Huo Chen carefully checked the injury, pressed it with his thumb, and heard Ning Die gasp in pain, he frowned: "It's a fracture." โ€

Behind them, and above them, was a low mountain.

Thinking of what the villagers said before, it is not appropriate to stay here for a long time, Huo Cheng said: "I will carry you back." โ€

As he spoke, he turned around and put Ning Die's hand on his shoulder.

Ning Die's face was hot, and she said embarrassedly, "I might be a little heavy." โ€

"How come," Huo Cheng said, "where do you have any extra flesh on your body except that place." โ€

Ning Die punched him on the back, this person always spoke improperly.

Huo Cheng held her down, and it was rare to have a doting smile on his face, "Come on, your foot is injured." โ€

Ning Die nodded, and was about to put her back on his shoulder, she heard a strange sound above her head, and before she could turn her head to look, Huo Cheng's generous embrace held her firmly, and his calm and somewhat urgent voice pressed in her ear: "Be careful!" โ€

She was taken by Huo Cheng and rolled on the spot, and the roaring sound disappeared from the side of her face into the distance-

Talc!

It was only a matter of a few seconds, if it weren't for Huo Cheng's quick reaction, the two of them would have become meat stuffing under the big stone at this time.

Ning Die was frightened, and hurriedly got up, and Huo Cheng's arm around her waist fell weakly.

"Huo Cheng," she turned her face in confusion, and suddenly saw bright red blood gushing from the corners of Huo Cheng's forehead.

When Huo Cheng hugged her to dodge, his forehead failed to avoid the gravel on the ground.

The rain in the sky is still unabated.

"Huo Cheng-Huo Cheng-" Ning Die was at a loss, she used a handkerchief to stop Huo Cheng's bleeding, and the light-colored handkerchief was instantly stained with blood, and it was washed into a diluted red by the rain.

"Wake up!" Ning Die shouted anxiously.

She has always hated the man lying in front of her very much, if it weren't for him, she wouldn't have had such a good life in her previous life, if it weren't for him, she wouldn't have had so much trouble in this life.

But when Huo Cheng's life and death were unknown in order to save her, an unprecedented panic rose in her heart.

But Huo Cheng had a dream, the classical bed with a light gauze tent, he returned in a military uniform, standing in front of the bed, and he didn't dare to open the curtain to look at the people on the bed.

Lan Xin, the maid who had been serving their house for many years, rushed over and beat his chest, crying and shouting to return the young lady to her.

Yes, she can ask herself for Ning Die, but who should she ask for back.

Yuezhang shouted in a low voice to the subordinates to pull the blue core away.

He walked more and more hard, and as he approached the tent, his hand shaking as he lifted it.

The master who taught him to block said that in order to become a qualified soldier, at any time, the hands that are holding the snatch must not tremble.

He has been on the battlefield for several years and has deeply remembered this sentence.

Obviously, he is still a little close, he has already sent his father-in-law to the position of general, and if he is a little closer, he can defeat Huo Bo and return to his ancestors as the second young master of the Huo family, and no longer have to worry about someone threatening Ning Die.

But how could she leave him alone.

The feeling of losing a loved one and feeling heart-wrenching was overwhelming, Huo Cheng covered his chest, and before he could lift the veil, a mouthful of blood spilled out of the corner of his mouth, and then broke through his teeth.

There was a cry in his ears, and he staggered back two steps, and his eyes fell into the blank darkness.

When he opened his eyes again, he went back to the day when he was a young man eighteen years ago, when his mother, as a humble aunt, was about to be kicked out of the house by the eldest lady.

A qiฤ“ has started again.

But for several years, he would always dream that Ning Die died of illness in front of his eyes.

This dream came again, Huo Cheng woke up suddenly, and what came into view was a white ceiling and a simple incandescent lamp.

"Finally woke up, you fell asleep for a day and a night." The voice next to him was all too familiar.

Huo Cheng said "um" and asked Li Hao, who was standing next to him, "Which hospital is this?" What time is it? โ€

Li Hao continued: "This is the largest medical clinic in Bingzhou, and now at ten o'clock in the morning, because your condition is urgent, you can only go to the nearest place for diagnosis and treatment, and then return to the southwest when the situation improves." โ€

Huo Cheng didn't speak again, he sat up slowly, he was wearing a hospital's standard blue and white striped hospital gown, and the wound on his head had been bandaged with gauze.

"I've sent someone to block the news about the accident on your side, and Cui Mansion will never find any clues." After Li Hao finished speaking, he said, "Miss Ning's foot injury has been treated, she is in a hurry to rush back to the southwest and leave on the same train with the crew." โ€

Huo Cheng's expressionless expression cracked, revealing a faint sense of disappointment, and said, "I know, you go down first." โ€

Li Hao obeyed his instructions, and when he was about to go out, he changed his steps and came back: "Miss Ning left her phone number before leaving, saying that if you wake up, you must let me call her back." โ€

Huo Cheng had a cold face, "You can handle this kind of trivial matter yourself." โ€

Li Hao was not in a hurry, "When our people went to find you in the forest, Miss Ning was crying very sadly on top of you, thinking that she was very concerned about your condition. โ€

Just as the ice surface ushered in a warm spring, Huo Cheng raised his eyebrows, "Stuck on the point where she went home, the stricter she said, the better." โ€

Li Hao smiled slightly, his boss deliberately wanted to scare Miss Ning and avenge her for not saying goodbye.

Pinching the clock at night, Li Hao, as Huo Cheng said, deliberately added fuel to his illness.

"How about that?" Ning Die's tone was sincerely nervous.

Li Hao stood by the telephone, the telephone was borrowed from the front desk of the hospital, there were people moving around, Li Hao whispered: "At that time, Miss Ning, you also saw it, the cold in the rain, plus excessive blood loss, the doctor said that it was difficult to wake up a year ago, I am afraid that there will be a headache in the future. โ€

Li Hao in the back was telling the truth, if he hadn't found Huo Cheng in time with the accompanying military doctor, Huo Cheng's life would have been in danger a moment later, and now only the sequelae would have been light.

Ning Die felt guilty for a while, she didn't stay because she was afraid that she would be soft-hearted with Huo Cheng when she arrived.

But right now, she really can't wait to go to Huo Cheng's side to see how his body is doing.

After all, Huo Cheng was injured because of her.

"Miss Ning doesn't have to worry too much," Li Hao coughed dryly, feeling that it was time to stop, "You know General Huo's heart for you, General Huo wakes up, if he hears the news that you are safe and sound, he will naturally be very relieved and feel that it is worth it." โ€

At this moment, Ning Die's mood can no longer be described by the word "guilt", she feels that she is really selfish, at least Huo Cheng was injured for her, even if she didn't wait for Huo Cheng to wake up, she should wait for his condition to stabilize before leaving.

"Mr. Li," she said softly, "can you please tell me about Mr. Huo's situation every few days?" โ€

Li Hao supported his forehead, Yi Huo Cheng's physical foundation can be discharged from the hospital in a few days, how should he report it, so he changed the topic, "I heard that Miss Feng is fine, but it was only because she returned to the southwest earlier than you and didn't notify you that she went missing." โ€

"I heard the director say this," Ning Die heard the director mention when she came back, Feng Xiuxiu felt quite embarrassed after arguing with her that night, so she went down the mountain early in the morning and took the train back to the southwest, deliberately avoiding them, but did not tell others, this incident made Wen Guo very angry, even if Ning Die interceded, this Xiuxiu was afraid that it would be difficult to eat in the film industry in the future. I hope she can change her arrogant temper more in the future.

Ning Die and Li Hao chatted a few more words, Li Hao was worried that his boss would eat Ning Die's vinegar, so he didn't dare to talk more, so he hurriedly hung up the phone.

Returning to the southwest means returning to winter.

The cheongsam and thin coat jacket worn in Bingzhou are useless, Ning Die has a foot injury, and he has difficulty moving, and more often he has to stay at home.

Lin Laiyu's role was finished a week later than her, and she was idle and had no one to relieve her boredom, so she simply put on a cotton cheongsam and a hat with ear protection, planning to go to the library to see if there were any medical books to deal with headaches.

She changed her shoes at the entrance, it was cold in the winter, the female workers in the factory had two weeks of vacation to go home for the New Year, Su Mei was boiling pig's trotter soup for Ning Die, and she was going out, calling Li Ma, who was cleaning the living room, to stop her.

"It's all like this, what are you going out to do, kid." Su Mei rushed out and said.

Ning Die hung one foot, "I'll stop a van when I go out, I want to go to the library to borrow two books." โ€

"What book are you borrowing? You write a note and ask Mama Li to go out and borrow it, Mama Li is illiterate, but the librarian is always literate. Su Mei said, helping Ning Die back to sit on the sofa.

Mama Li took off the apron around her waist, "Yes, little miss, how can you move if you have an injury to your foot." โ€

Ning Die looked at her right foot wrapped in a dumpling with grievances, she couldn't let Mama Li go to the library, there were often classmates reading books there, in case Mama Li heard something and came back to Su Mei to say, then she would be exposed under the pretext of opening a training class during the winter vacation of the school.

She had to say that this book was on a whim of her, and remembering that she hadn't replied to Chen Ziao's letter, she took out the blank paper in the room first and wrote a solemn reply to Chen Ziao.

A few days of light snow in the southwest passed, and the sky was clear.

Every once in a while, the nanny of the Wulin family always called Ning Die to answer the phone, and said while supporting Ning Die: "What kind of person is this, you worry about it every day." โ€

Two days later, when the Lin family's nanny came, Su Mei first pulled people aside, and secretly asked Ning Die behind her back who her daughter was calling.

"Man," the Lin family's nanny affirmed this first, and then said, "Listening to the tone, it's a polite young man." โ€

Finally, add a key sentence, "Miss Ning should be this age." โ€

Su Mei was overjoyed, so she had to wrap the Lin family's nanny with a New Year's red envelope in advance.

When it gets dark, the gauze on Ning Die's feet is dismantled the day before yesterday, and there is no problem with simply walking in the next step, she changed her clothes and wanted to go out, saying that she had made an appointment with a friend, it was rare that Su Mei didn't ask much this time, and Li Ma sat on the sofa and listened to the Shaoxing opera on the radio, humming a couple of sentences from time to time, seeing that Ning Die was going out, Su Mei couldn't help but smile and said: "You change into the cheongsam I made for you." โ€

"Didn't you say you wanted to keep it for the New Year?" Ning Die was puzzled.

Su Mei said: "There are not a few days left before the Chinese New Year. โ€

The dress was cut by Su Mei herself, and Ning Die wanted to be happy when she wanted to look at it, so she went back to the room and changed the long-sleeved emerald soft satin cheongsam into it, and put on a black close-fitting coat outside.

"The lip color is lighter," Su Mei looked at her a few times, held a dressing box to put on makeup for her, and put on a pair of jade bracelets for Ning Die, her short hair has grown a little longer recently, just enough to coil up, Su Mei coiled her hair, inserted a jade hairpin, and then dyed her rose-colored nails, which was bound to dress her up in flowers.

Tossing for nearly an hour, sending Ning Die to the door, Su Mei said again: "Oh, my memory, Mama Li, go and bring my leather bag, the crocodile one." โ€

This leather bag is also one of the dowries that Ning Die's grandfather brought back from France when he married Samui.

The emerald color of this leather bag just matched the color of the cheongsam, and Ning Die wore it, changing from an ordinary worker's child, no different from those young ladies from rich and noble families.

Mother Li sighed and admired: "Dressed like this, the little lady is really good-looking." โ€

"You are not allowed to stay outside for the night at night, my daughter's family should always be reserved." Su Mei said with a smile and pushed Ning Die out the door, "Go quickly, go quickly, don't make your friends wait for a long time." โ€

Ning Die was confused, not knowing where Su Mei's joy came from.

In the southwest, the lights on the street were like a brocade, Ning Die went downstairs and beckoned a rickshaw, because she was beautiful, the driver who pulled the car couldn't help but look at her more.

The suspension bridge on the river connects the two banks, the river is depressed, reflecting the neon lights of the city, Ning Die gets off the rickshaw, stepping on the light and shadow of the bridge deck, swaying to the appointment.

At that time, Huo Cheng was stepping off the special train, and the driver had already prepared the car and was waiting in front of the station.

He casually glanced out the window, the army green, and he said, "I don't need these people to follow, I have personal matters to deal with now." โ€

Li Hao, who was sitting on the side of the driver, gave the order, opened the window and called a captain to come over, signaling them to withdraw their troops back to the headquarters.

After explaining, Huo Cheng said again: "Go to Thirteenth Street." โ€

At this time, a trace of warmth rose in his eyes.

Thirteenth Street is a typical residential area, but it is also a typical leased land in the southwest, which is specially rented to outsiders from all over the country, which is mixed, bustling and crowded.

Considering Huo Cheng's safety, Li Hao said: "Let me go upstairs first, you wait for a while." โ€

With Huo Cheng's approval, Li Hao quickly opened the car door and walked down, his posture was tall, and the long shirt on his body was expensive, which was obviously different from the simple buildings around him after blending into Thirteenth Street.

About a quarter of an hour later, he returned to the car, "Miss Ning is not here, I heard from my family that I have an appointment with a friend to go out." โ€

Naturally, he didn't dare to say that after Ning Die's mother opened the door for him, she told him about it with the eyes of her future son-in-law, but Li Hao told the truth: "Looking at the situation, it seems that the object is a man." โ€

The carriage suddenly fell silent, and even if Li Hao didn't turn around, he could know that his boss must be displeased.

"There is one more thing," Li Hao didn't know whether to talk about it or not, and said in a euphemistic tone: "I heard that Feng Xiuxiu was knocked unconscious on the train, and then placed in a hotel near the train station, her unauthorized temper has made a fuss in the film industry, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to receive the script in the future, naturally this kind of trivial matter does not need to be told to you, but it is a little strange, Feng Xiuxiu took sleeping pills on the train before she did not wake up all the way, and the person who knocked her unconscious and took her and left was a local villager, saying that she was hired by someone to ......"

Knowing what Li Hao wanted to express, Huo Cheng's eyes were cold, "In the future, there is no need to save this 'heard', and it will be dealt with." โ€

Li Hao nodded yes, signaled the driver to start the car, when the thirteenth street was getting farther away, Li Hao looked at the glazed night scene outside the window, he remembered his first acquaintance with Ning Die, the shadows of the green trees, the white flowers scattered on the steps, Ning Die's smile, just like the kapok on her celadon cheongsam, pure white and clear, like the Pujia woman described in the classical poetry.

Naturally, he thought of the accompanying doctor and solemnly told him, "Miss Ning had an unstable sleep during the crew, take some sleeping pills from me, the amount is not light, if Miss Ning is unwell, I suggest that you let her go to the Western hospital for examination,"

Ning Die, Li Hao rubbed his forehead, and his heart was full of mixed feelings.

At this time, Ning Die, Mr. Chen Ziao, who met on the largest suspension bridge in the southwest, turned out to be his deceased in his previous life.
