In the evening, when Mao Dong came home and pushed the door open, he heard the sound of the TV in the living room turned up.

He stood in the hallway changing his shoes as he peered into the living room.

The TV was playing an eight-o'clock TV series, but there was no one in the living room. A few bags of opened snacks were randomly placed on the coffee table in front of the sofa, Mao Dong walked to the coffee table, threw the key on it, turned his head and looked around, but still didn't find anyone.

"I'm back." He shouted.

"Coming back? I'm in the kitchen! ”

Finally hearing her voice, Mao Dong smiled slightly.

Before I got to the kitchen, I heard the sound of frying things inside, the oil pan had just been opened, and the things that had just come out of the pot were popping.

"What are you doing?"

"Me!"

"Be careful!"

Liang Ju wanted to fry the tenderloin, but the chopsticks that put the meat were stained with water, and when they touched the boiling oil, the oil immediately crackled and splashed out of the pot, and a drop of oil splashed on Liang Ju's hand.

Mao Dong pulled her behind him step by step, then turned off the fire, picked up the lid and closed the pot.

"Be careful." His tone was reproachful, and he raised Liang Ju's hand and put it under the light to look carefully, "Didn't hurt anywhere else?" ”

Originally, I wanted to make a meal and wait for him to come back to surprise him, but now I didn't get it right, but it did a disservice.

Mao Dong took Liang Ju to the living room to rub the ointment, and Liang Ju hung his head and said, "It's over, the hard work of the day is in vain." ”

The ointment is gently applied to the burned area, and it is cold and cold.

Mao Dong raised his eyes to look at her, "Didn't you let you eat and wait for me?" ”

Liang Ju pouted, "Then I can't order takeout by myself to see you come back hungry." ”

Looking at her sad face, Mao Dong was silent.

After wiping the ointment, Mao Dong put away the medicine box. "Alright, you're just sitting here."

"What about the rice?" Liang Ju covered his stomach and asked, "The chopsticks have been thrown into the pot, what are you going to eat when you start eating?" Deep-fried chopsticks? ”

Mao Dong put the medicine box back in its place, turned around and scratched the bridge of her nose, "I'll do it." ”

"You cook?" Liang Ju was surprised: "Will you do it?" ”

Mao Dong rolled up his sleeves, he wore a white sweater today, quite a bit of a home style.

"It's better to know how to do it than to eat fried chopsticks."

He quipped, but in exchange for Liang Ju's eyes, "That's up to you." ”

"I'm guaranteed to let you eat the fried tenderloin tonight."

Mao Dong was skillful and neat, and it didn't take long to clean up the mess made by Liang Ju, and he also made three dishes in a row.

Liang Ju leaned on the kitchen door to watch his back at work, Mao Dong was not sloppy at all, and even cut vegetables very exquisitely.

The pale yellow light of the kitchen sprinkled in the kitchen, shining almost all the temperature on Mao Dong's body. His broad shoulders have both the sense of security of a man, the skillful act of cooking and the warmth of home.

Liang Ju watched his every move with a smile, standing in the small kitchen with a height of 1.85 meters, from Liang Ju's point of view, it almost occupied one-fifth of the kitchen space.

She suddenly felt that it was really a blessing for her to meet such a man who was cold and mature outside, warm and careful at home, and had a coveted face.

Most importantly, he trusts her.

Somehow, Liang Ju remembered that Lan Lan used videos and videos to provoke the relationship between her and Mao Dong, but in the end, Mao Dong didn't even ask her.

Thinking about it, she couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"What, hungry stupid?"

Mao Dong happened to turn around and walk to the living room with the prepared meal, and saw her standing there, smirking alone.

"No, I just think you're so capable, I'm so happy." Liang Ju also followed him out of the kitchen.

Mao Dong said: "You have a task. ”

Liang Ju waved his hand on chopsticks and asked curiously, "What task?" ”

Mao Dong wiped his hands with a tissue and pointed casually, "Eat them all." ”

“YESSIR!” Liang Ju did not hesitate to give a military salute.

Remembering that he bought a few bottles of canned beer in the supermarket today, Liang Ju reflexively went to the kitchen to get it. "By the way, I ran into a friend of yours today." She stood in the kitchen and said to Mao Dong in the living room.

"Who?" Mao Dong's voice was low.

"He said his surname was Bai."

"Surname Bai?"

Mao Dong didn't speak again, Liang Ju happily came out of the kitchen with a beer, and saw that he was still standing at the dinner table, still holding a tissue to wipe his hands, but his eyebrows were slightly frowned, his movements were slow, and his dark eyes were sharp to a sharp look.

"What's wrong with you? Why are you standing still? Liang Ju walked to the table with a beer and sat down, raising his hand towards Mao Dong, "I just bought it today, drink some?" ”

Mao Dong glanced at the wine bottle indifferently, and slowly threw the tissue in his hand into the trash, "He went to look for you today?" ”

Liang Ju reacted that Mao Dong was referring to Bai Mao and nodded, "He happened to be across the street when I went to the supermarket today, and he sent me back in the end." ”

"What did he say?"

"Do you really know each other? It can't be such a coincidence, right? He's Lan Lan's boyfriend. ”

"Lan Lan?"

"It's the person who gave you your phone last time to watch a video."

Obviously, Mao Dong didn't take that incident to heart. He answered her first question, "We know each other." ”

And it's not just about getting to know each other.

Liang Ju didn't have too many doubts about Mao Dong's sudden coldness, she took two cups and poured beer respectively.

Mao Dong glanced at her lightly, Liang Ju smiled and handed him the wine glass, "I'm drinking it in front of you, it's okay." ”

There are not many dishes, but each dish is from Mao Dong's craftsmanship, of course Liang Ju has to support it, as for weight loss, she thinks it will be tomorrow.

The soft-fried tenderloin was crispy and tender, and Liang Ju ate several pieces in a row, "It's delicious, it's better than what I made." ”

Mao Dong put the cumin on her plate, "It's better to eat light at night." ”

"Oh, isn't this what you did, I don't eat that much when others do."

They sat opposite each other, and the table for four was neither so crowded nor empty.

Liang Ju took a sip of water, watched Mao Dong eat slowly, and asked, "He doesn't seem to be from this city, and he doesn't have many friends here." ”

Liang Ju's tone was very casual, as if he had said it casually unintentionally, but when Mao Dong heard this, he felt that things were not so simple.

"You don't have to come into contact with him, it's best to stay away."

"Why? He's your friend, huh? ”

Sure enough, Bai Si must have told Liang Ju the most acceptable side of him and him, Mao Dong thought, he was deliberately approaching Liang Ju.

Liang Ju continued: "I heard that he is here by himself during the Chinese New Year this year, I still want to"

"No way!" Before she could finish speaking, Mao Dong had already put down his chopsticks to stop her thoughts.

Mao Dongyan's demeanor also startled Liang Ju, she looked at him in a daze, and even forgot the dishes on the chopsticks, and the meat fell back to the plate with a 'snap'.

"What's going on with you two? He said there was a misunderstanding between you. Liang Ju asked.

Perhaps realizing the excitement just now, Mao Dong put the piece of tenderloin back on Liang Ju's plate.

"It's fine. Let's eat. ”

***

The unpleasant eating did not make Liang Ju explore the affairs of Bai Si too much, she always thought that there was a misunderstanding between Bai Si and Mao Dong, and it was inconvenient for her to inquire too much about the affairs between men.

A few times, Liang Ju wanted to figure out Guò Shapi to investigate, but Shapi just couldn't say it clearly, it was a long time ago, Liang Ju thought about it, it wasn't a big deal anyway, so he didn't ask again.

Mao Dong and Shi Bowen's business has been on track, getting busier and busier day by day, and seeing that the New Year is approaching, neither of them is relaxed.

One night when he returned to the company from the construction site, Shi Bowen refused to leave Mao Dong's office, and Mao Dong ordered takeout and waited with him.

The security guard downstairs sent an envelope and handed it to Mao Dong, saying that it was delivered by courier during the day today, Mao Dong looked at the envelope on the table and frowned slightly.

"What's that?" Shi Bowen walked to the desk with a water glass, leaned over to look at it, and sat on the edge of the table.

The envelope was bulging, and it looked like there was a lot of stuff inside.

Shi Bowen took the envelope in his hand and flipped it, and asked, "I'll open it for you?" ”

Mao Dong sat in a black leather chair behind the table, his chin bowed.

The envelope was torn open with a thud, and Shi Bowen poured the contents on the table, and dozens of photos fell out with a bang.

In the first photo, Liang Ju, who was wearing a white down jacket, was walking on campus with Yu Yanjie in his arms, with a smile on his face, he should be discussing something with Yu Yanjie.

In the second photo, Liang Ju is sitting in the back row of the classroom listening to the lecture, with his head down, writing something on a piece of paper.

In the third photo, Liang Ju is crossing the street with a large bag of small rolls, although it is hard, but his eyes are very bright.

The photos are all Liang Ju's ones one by one, some are at school, some are in the classroom, and some are with Mao Dong.

Shi Bowen looked at the photo in surprise and then looked at Mao Dong, and asked, "Have you offended anyone?" ”

Mao Dong kept his original movements and sat quietly in the chair, his eyes were indifferent, the corners of his mouth were tense, and the lamp on the table slanted out of his angular side face and sharp eyes.

"He's threatening me."

Sure enough, the man began to move.

Shi Bowen didn't understand what he meant, and Mao Dong's words could only show that he knew who took these photos, or who found someone to take them.

"Do you need me to help you?" Shi Bowen asked.

Mao Dong shook his head, "He can't wait, he just wants to force me." ”

"Who are you referring to? Your enemy? Shi Bowen asked.

Mao Dong's gaze fell on the photos again, and his fingers tapped lightly on the edge of the table.

"It's just an old man."

Mao Dong said: "He just wants to sue me that he is the instructor of this game." ”

Shi Bowen was confused.

Mao Dong briefly told Shi Bowen about Bai Si, and Shi Bowen was worried that Bai Si would attack Liang Ju.

The black leather chair turned to the night view outside the window. The unobstructed sight is lit by the lights of thousands of homes, the endless car lights and the dense crowd on both sides of the sidewalk, everyone has their own story, who can guarantee that my story will not involve the protagonist of your story?

Shi Bowen asked: "You really don't plan to tell her the truth of the matter?" ”

Mao Dong turned his back to Shi Bowen, and his voice was low. "Sue her, she will only be nervous for me, and according to her character, she will go directly to Bai Si, and things will only get worse."

"Then Bai Si won't move Liang Ju?"

Shi Bowen's straightforward question poked directly into Mao Dong's heart.

He couldn't guarantee it.

Shi Bowen is an acute child, and he does not have Mao Dong's good analytical skills. "I can find someone to protect her," he said. ”

"Protecting her will make Bai Si think we're afraid of him."

"So what the hell is going on?"

Shi Bowen glanced at the photo again and casually pushed the photo to the corner of the table. He pushed and revealed the bottom photo.

"Look!" This photo is not Liang Ju, but a strange man who looks somewhat similar to Bai Si.

Mao Dong stared at the two men who appeared in the photo, one with a tattoo on his arm, the face of a fierce tiger.

This man is the tiger - the murderer who killed Mao Bei back then.

Obviously, the other man in the photo is Bai Si's eldest brother, and he is also the instigator behind the horrific tragedy that year.

The photo is placed on the table, but it is like a tombstone, paying tribute to the past.

Bai Si figured out this photo and told Mao Dong that his eldest brother's murderer was under his control, and it was up to him to decide whether to take revenge or not.

"What does Bai Si want to exchange with you?" Shi Bowen asked suddenly.

Bai Si's leg was broken by Mao Dong, he couldn't be kind enough to avenge Mao Dong, he must have what he wanted.

"My legs." Mao Dong took out a cigarette, the lighter turned on with a 'ding', and the cigarette was ignited.

The smell of nicotine instantly flooded the office.

He said, "He will use my leg to sacrifice his broken leg." ”

Shi Bowen sneered, "If you really agree, he will not only be able to avenge himself, but he will also be able to clear his own eyes with your hands." ”

There is no need for Shi Bowen to say this truth, Mao Dong also knows it. "The Bai family is still Bai Si's father, Bai Yucheng, is in charge, according to Bai Si's character, he will not watch such a strong inheritance fall into the hands of his brother Bai Wei."

Shi Bowen said: "Bai Yucheng is a handful of years old, I heard that he has been lying in the hospital now, as long as he dies, most of his family's property will immediately fall into the hands of Bai Wei, Bai Si is of course anxious." However, Bai Wei still has a conscience, and in order to save his father's life, he found many people to watch at the door of the ward. ”

Seeing that Mao Dong was silent, Shi Bowen continued: "If his brother dies at your hands, he can put all the responsibility on you, and when the time comes, you will become the enemy of the Bai family." ”

In the name of revenge, it is to avenge Mao Bei, but in fact, it is to clear obstacles for himself.

This trick is really vicious.

***

That Mao Dong received a photo of Bai Si's threat, and this one, Liang Ju was not idle, and was harassed by Lan Lan all morning.

Bai Si had officially broken up with Lan Lan, and Lan Lan collapsed, thinking that this matter was related to Liang Ju.

I don't know how Lan Lan knew that Liang Ju lived at her cousin's house, and found the address of her cousin's house.

"How did you find here?" Liang Ju thought that her cousin had come back from a business trip, so she hurriedly opened it when she heard a knock on the door, but when she opened the door, she found that it was Lan Lan outside the door.

Lan Lan had obviously cried, and her eyes were red and swollen. "You say, how can you seduce Bai Shao so that he can break up with me!"

"What is white, what is a breakup, your head is frozen stupid in the winter, right?"

"It's you, it's because of you, otherwise Bai Shao wouldn't have broken up with me!"

Lan Lan stood in the corridor and shouted, Liang Ju reprimanded her dissatisfiedly, "You be quiet, don't be a bad neighbor and know that you are playing tricks here." ”

"Liang Ju, you have Mao Dong, why do you still come to rob Bai Si with me!" As she spoke, Lan Lan actually cried in front of Liang Ju.

This cry echoed in the corridor and was heard very abruptly, Liang Ju was irritable, so he didn't want to deal with her, "He broke up with you, you go to him, what's the use of looking for me, it's like a nervous disorder." ”

Liang Ju stretched out his hand to close the door, but Lan Lan happened to be standing on the edge of the door, she closed the door, she didn't let it, she raised her hand to block, and as soon as the door was closed, it happened to catch her hand, Lan Lan suddenly howled, and Liang Ju was so frightened that he immediately pushed the door open.

"You're sick, what hand do you use to block the door?"

Liang Ju hurriedly looked at Lan Lan's wounds, his middle finger and index finger immediately swollen, and there were frightening bruises on his skin.

"Liang Ju, I love Bai Shao, you give him back to me, I beg you!" I don't know if it's painful or distressed, Lan Lan just howled and cried.

Liang Ju was afraid that she would arouse the dissatisfaction of the neighbors, so he hurriedly dragged her into the house.

The door was not completely closed, and two people stood in the entryway.

Liang Ju said: "You broke up with him, it was because he changed his mind, and it was useless for you to ask me to beg me." ”

"But he once gave you flowers in public and drove you, you say, isn't he chasing you?"

Lan Lan couldn't listen to a word at all now, Liang Ju had no choice but to continue to explain to her: "He didn't chase me, he just apologized for the last time he drank in Beixing, I have a boyfriend, why provoke him?" ”

Lan Lan cried and didn't speak, Liang Ju saw that she was pitiful, and her fingers were pinched again, so she thought about rubbing some ointment on her.

"You come in with me to take medicine, don't fall into the root of the disease in this hand." Liang Ju pointed to Lan Lan's hand, but Lan Lan did not accept her kindness.

Lan Lan grabbed Liang Ju's arm and cried: "You have such a good relationship with Mao Dong, you love him so much, why did you come to rob Bai Shao with me!" Liang Ju, I beg you, I'll kneel down for you, you give Bai Shao back to me, I can't live without him! ”

Liang Ju's face was completely black, why can't this girl understand people's words.

There was a sudden noise at the door, Liang Ju hurriedly pushed the door, and found that his cousin was standing outside the door with a suitcase, and it didn't look like he had just arrived.

"Sister?" Liang Ju shouted.

Sister Ming Xuan glanced at Lan Lan, stared at Liang Ju, and asked, "Who is Mao Dong?" ”

Liang Ju chuckled in his heart, thinking to himself, this is really a bad dish.
