Chapter Seventy-Five: Forty-Eight Hours of Silence

- "I have done what you have commanded. That night, the chat window on her laptop screen was the only one message.

She waited for a reply.

- "Very well, your mission is done. ”

It was an anonymous message.

- "May I ask why you're doing this?" ”

For a long time, there was still no reply.

- "What happened to his mother?" Yan Shan thought there was a network problem.

But unfortunately it didn't.

- "Father? ”

……

At this time, the fog and the sound of water were lying on the bed in the bedroom on the first floor, and the room was quiet and dark.

"Can't sleep?" In the fog, the sound of water tossing and turning and rubbing was heard.

"Hmm...... Sister Wu didn't sleep either. Shui Yin turned to the side and looked up at the fog looking up at the dark ceiling, the emerald reflecting the bright moonlight.

"Has Yu Xia chosen that token?" The fog refers to the "parent-child certificate" handed over to Yan Shan.

"Well, it's a book, a gift from his mother before she left." The sound of the water pulled the loose strands of hair behind the ears.

Kiri nodded, then gave a look.

"That Summerfire Shan had a holiday with you before?" Wuli believes that the initiator of this meeting must be inextricably linked to Xia Huo Yanshan. A high school student would not be so well-informed, and there would be someone else behind it.

"Hmm...... But that's all in the past. ”

"But Xia Huo doesn't necessarily think so, does he?"

"Hmm...... She should be unforgettable. Shui Yin admitted.

"Hmm...... Perhaps, this is also the only time that they will see mother and son. The premonition in the fog grew stronger and stronger, and she firmly believed that there was someone who was wielding the flag.

"However, with you by his side, he won't do anything out of the ordinary." Kiri hopes that Mizuin can take over from her and continue to take care of this sometimes mature and sometimes naïve person.

"I thought it would." Without waiting for Mizune's answer, Hari continued, "Yuxia has found a girl who is 'full of positive attitude towards life, simple-minded, and not interested in human affairs at all' as her other half. This kind of personality is good, but it is also a character that can easily attract Yu Xia's attention, because a boring person who lives just for the sake of life can easily yearn for someone who is completely opposite to his personality - whether it is out of curiosity or pampering. But this kind of person can't stay with him forever, with what I know about him, what Yu Xia really needs is not only a person who can bring him up to the rhythm of life, but also a person who can enter his inner world and remove the shell for him, this person will take over my work, take care of him for me, and make his life not too lonely......" The tone in the fog is like a mother talking about her child.

"Don't tell him these words, it's a whisper between girlfriends." Although the fog ended with a joking tone, the lonely eyes did not disappear because of this.

"Sister Wu...... You're a little reluctant. Mizune covered the side of her face with a quilt.

"Huh?" Wuli's eyelids twitched and said, "Of course I'm reluctant, but I won't grab it with my younger siblings, don't worry!" The fog raised his hand and patted the quilt on Shui Yin's body.

"I'm not talking about that." Shui Yin reached out from the quilt and gently pressed his left arm in the fog, and then a wave of heat spread to the shoulder of the fog.

"You don't want Yu Xia to see his mother, right?" Shui Yin whispered softly.

In the fog, the corners of the eyes fell, and the corners closed slightly. She turned her face slightly, not wanting Shui Yin to see her exposed expression through the moonlight.

"Hmm...... At that time, I was going to pick him up from school in the evening of Yuxia, I was going to open the parent-teacher conference, I was going to help him sew when I was playful and tearing his clothes, I was bullied and I was helping him get angry, I would educate him when he was naughty, and I would laugh at him when he was sad...... Even if there are a lot of colleagues in the company who gossip about 'isn't she doing this to please her boss?' I never cared. Other people's evaluations can't stop what I do, they can chew on the root of their tongue for the rest of their lives, but Yu Xia's childhood must not be spent in fragments like this. The voice in the fog rose up, but she didn't realize it herself.

"She hasn't done anything...... Yu Xia didn't agree to persuade Zaoming to use the company's remaining tens of thousands of yuan to save Jieyun because I didn't agree to persuade him to use the company's remaining tens of thousands of yuan, and he didn't contact me for more than two years in anger! Why is it like losing my soul when I see a photo of an almost stranger now......" The grievances in the fog welled up in her heart, and her choked voice made Shui Yin unable to hear what she said in the end, maybe the fog didn't want her to hear it at all, because she already knew all these "why" answers.

"Unfair ......" The tears in the corners of his eyes in the fog were sucked by the pillow.

The sound of water gently closed the hand in the fog, although the size was about the same as the sound of water, but it was more vicissitudes.

"No, it won't." The sound of water is gentle. "Yu Xia is just going to say goodbye to the past."

He pouted in the fog, twitched his nose again and said, "Forgive him and don't dare to ......."

……

"It's a token."

At noon the next day, Yu Xia handed a small, flat cardboard shell to Yan Shan at the door of Yan Shan's class, and inside was the "Sherlock Holmes" that Yu Tao left for him.

The moment Yan Shan took the package, she showed a hesitant look, which was fleeting, and Yu Xia didn't notice it.

"I knew you'd agree." Yan Shan replaced it with a triumphant expression.

"Thank you." No matter how disgusted and reluctant Yu Xia is, this "thank you" can't be saved, after all, she gave Yu Xia this opportunity.

"You're welcome, stay safe." In the first half of the sentence, Yan Shan's tone was relaxed, but the second half of the sentence did not hear the slightest joke.

Of course, Yu Xia didn't care, and he didn't look directly at Yan Shan a few times during the whole process, let alone notice these subtle details.

Yu Xia turned to leave, leaving Yan Shan alone to think in place.

"Be sure to be safe...... "Yan Shan frowned. She has never stopped figuring out the pros and cons of this matter since last night.

If this was one of the father's plans, if it was the man who was in control......

- He's capable of anything.

At about 5:30 p.m., a cardboard wrap appeared on Bai Yu's desk.

"Look, it's a gift from your son." Obscurity took a puff of his cigarette, then reveled in the smoke to himself.

Bai Yu looked at the package in front of him, and his heart was both excited and uncomfortable. She gently slipped the tape with a paper cutter and pulled out the slightly crumpled book.

"It's him...... It was my last birthday present to him. Bai Yu's eyelids were as red as flames, and she hadn't slept peacefully for several nights.

Before Bai Yu opened the book, Hao Shuo suddenly held down his palm, and then smiled sinisterly and said, "There is no time for you to enjoy the content, President." With that, Hao Shuo picked up the book and said, "I'll return it to Ling Lang for you later." ”

Bai Yu was silent, but this did not affect the fact that he continued to speak.

"Friday night." Obscure pressed the cigarette butt against the ashtray and twisted his wrist vigorously. "After work on Friday, you go to the cleaning room next to the lounge on the first basement floor, open the door and lock it, and then go out along the exhaust vent, so that you can avoid all the surveillance cameras in the building, including the difficult advisor sent to spy on you, Gap Long." Obscure stood up and gently dusted off the cigarette ash from the corner of his clothes.

"Then you just have to wait quietly." Obscure rubbed his four fingers together against his beard. "I wish you a pleasant journey in advance, President." With that, he gently closed the office door.

There are still two days left before the day of meeting.
