April's hand holding the handle of the umbrella tightened slightly, his lips pursed, and he looked at the other party motionlessly.

The man's eyes were deep and deep, and the corners of his mouth drooped slightly, an expression of joy and not anger. April knew that her concealment would be discovered sooner or later, so when she saw Shen Yanjin's arrival, she didn't show a surprised look.

She lowered her gaze to the man's feet and looked calm, "I'm sorry, I can't do this thing you entrusted me." ”

A sarcastic smile suddenly came from above his head, April didn't look up, and heard the other party laughing lightly: "Lin April, do you think that by taking your grandmother home, you can get rid of my control?" The voice was cold: "Believe it or not, I can make your grandmother recover, and I can also let her go to the hospital again." ”

The second half of the sentence is obviously a threat in disguise, Shen Yanjin obviously knows that Grandma Lin is April's weakness, and she pinched this weakness to death.

The cold wind mixed with the rain struck, as if it was pouring into the body through the clothes.

April shuddered and looked up, "I'm sorry, it's my fault, if...... If you want to punish me, just punish me alone. ”

The raindrops had coated her eyes with a layer of moisture and obscured the look in her eyes.

Shen Yanjin didn't expect that this girl named Lin April would have the courage to play him, and the anger in his heart slowly fermented, and he smiled instead of anger: "I can give you another chance." ”

Fortunately, he kept an extra hand and discovered Gu Qingyan's intentions in time, but the girl named Xia Bai obviously didn't love Gu Qingyan as much as he imagined. He didn't bother much at all, but promised to give her a sum of money to pay off the huge amount of money owed by the family, and she agreed without hesitation.

It's just a pity that he didn't see Qingyan's heartbroken expression with his own eyes, it must be suffocating.

"What else do you need from me?"

The girl's low voice came from front of him, and the man came back to his senses, his trademark smile back on his face.

He blinked, and a strange look quietly filled his eyes, "It's very simple, I want you to convince Qingyan to let him return to me obediently." ”

He'd waited long enough to get a taste of him.

"Okay." April looked at Shen Yanjin opposite fixedly, Xu was imagining something, and his eyes were faintly flashing with anticipation and madness.

Because she agreed too simply, Shen Yanjin was stunned for a moment, staring at April with some suspicion.

After all, he's already been fooled once and can't do it a second time.

April knew that the other party didn't believe her, and she didn't wipe the moisture on the lenses, but just stared at the somewhat distorted figure in front of her.

"I can try to convince him, but I'm going to pay ten times more."

She said her conditions without changing her face, and Shen Yanjin raised her eyebrows in some surprise when she heard it.

He thought the girl was gloomy and sophisticated at first, and it seemed that his instincts were correct. He did not feel any displeasure at her lion's wide opening, on the contrary, he appreciated her wise decision.

Friendship is a piece of, and there's nothing more beneficial than money.

Shen Yanjin's eyes dimmed, and he smiled and bowed: "Okay, deal." After saying this, he paused and said meaningfully: "Hopefully, don't let me wait too long." ”

The man did not linger long, and when he had finished explaining his business, he turned around and left in the car.

April stood in the rain curtain, her eyes on the unknown void, and it took a long time for her to take another step.

***

Shen Yanjin was very happy, and since April agreed to his request, he directly paid a large amount of deposit to April.

April kept a little money for herself, and saved the rest of the money for her grandmother's daily expenses in the future.

As for what the man asked her to do, April promised him that she was just dealing with him, and she didn't plan to actually do it at all.

She thought that if she really let the boy go back, it would undoubtedly push him into the abyss, and she couldn't do it.

Because she was worried that Gu Qingyan's feelings would be unstable, she would run to the real yàn class as soon as she was free in April, and she was very unaccustomed to the strange gaze before, but now she can accept it calmly. She went to see Gu Qingyan, she really just went to take a look and make sure he was okay.

When she looked out the window of the class again, the boy finally walked up to her.

At that time, he put his hands in his pockets, his eyes were pale, and his eyes stared at her intently, "Are you looking for me?" ”

Although he was in a bad mood, he was not ignorant of what was going on outside. He knew that April would come to see him every day, and he could have ignored it, maybe it was because of a hug on that rainy night, or because of the last April to relieve him from the siege and get rid of Shen Yanjin's entanglement, his view of April slowly changed.

Perhaps, this girl is not as heart-to-heart as he imagined.

April didn't expect Gu Qingyan to come out and ask her this question, she lowered her head and whispered "um".

The students in the real yàn class all looked at the two of them with curious eyes, Xiao Li glanced at them casually, slightly stunned, and then took his gaze back, staring at Xia Bai's seat in a daze. Xia Bai had disappeared for a week since the last time he came to class for a few days, and he heard about Xia Bai's family, but he couldn't help her.

Outside the classroom, Gu Qingyan propped his hands on the railing, and his eyes looked into the distance in a vain manner, "What are you looking for me?" ”

April didn't actually have anything to do, but when she heard the teenager's question, she subconsciously responded, and now she felt that the other party seemed to be serious, she thought about it, and casually found an excuse and said: "I don't understand some topics very well, and I want to ask you for advice." ”

Gu Qingyan listened, turned her head slightly, and her eyes fell on April's empty hands.

This excuse really sucks.

Just looking at the look in the eyes of the girl in front of him, he somehow echoed and said, "Then after lunch, you can wait for me in the library." After saying that, he added: "It's where I often sit." ”

April didn't think that the other party would agree, and for a while, a somewhat sluggish expression appeared on the face of the always wooden one.

Gu Qingyan tugged at the corners of her mouth, revealing a faint invisible smile, "Okay, I'll go back to the classroom, I'll see you later." ”

"See you later." April replied in a daze.

When she ran back to her classroom, she still didn't come to her senses. She bit the tip of her pen and thought silently, maybe Xia Bai's blow to him was not as profound as she imagined.

Thinking of Xia Bai, April's mood was a little heavy, and she didn't dare to imagine how much harm Xia Bai's family had caused her.

But now that she can't protect herself, where is there anything else to think about, Shen Yanjin will sooner or later find out that she has tricked him again, and her fate is estimated to be miserable at that time.

In the afternoon, April arrived at the library, and the boy had arrived early, and the shimmer of light on his hair made his face extraordinarily white and clear.

Hearing the movement, Gu Qingyan glanced at her lazily, turned sideways to look at her and walked to his side and sat down.

In the past, when Xia Bai was present, he also explained the exercises for April, so he didn't feel that there was anything wrong. But at that time, he had the intention of making Xia Bai jealous, and now he is simply tutoring April.

April listened very carefully, taking notes from time to time, and the appearance of the board made Gu Qingyan can't help but show a faint smile.

Of course, he wouldn't be so stupid, thinking that April came to see him in the real yàn class every day, just so that he could help her explain the topic. Thinking of this, he paused his fingers holding the pen, and a small cloud of ink appeared on the white paper.

"Lin April, are you crushing on me?"

There was a hint of carelessness hidden in the clean voice, and the cold aura on the young man's body seemed to be even stronger, April was slightly stunned, and then shook his head, "No." ”

Hearing her neatly denial, Gu Qingyan was stunned for a moment, and then returned to normal. Now that he thinks about it, this is the second time he's asked her this question, and each time he gets a negative answer.

He couldn't even see her clearly.

The boy did not have a self-inflicted embarrassment on his face, and continued to explain the exercises to April unhurriedly, and April did not take his question to heart.

It wasn't until the first class in the afternoon was about to start that the two parted ways. April had always wanted to ask him what he thought of Xia Bai, but he still didn't ask.

Who is she to ask?

Time passed slowly, and in April, because of the teenager's tutoring, her grades improved by leaps and bounds, and the teacher praised her in class. April didn't have any particular thoughts on that either.

Xia Bai never came back to class, and later, Xia Bai's mother came over to handle the withdrawal procedures for Xia Bai.

The moment he heard the news, April found Gu Qingyan as soon as possible. These days, the boy's appearance is too normal, too calm, and April's heart is always restless, and he always feels that something will happen. Seeing that April came to him again, Gu Qingyan even smiled at her and joked with her.

April saw the hopelessness and coldness in the other party's eyes, and was a little frightened.

Knowing that the boy was trapped in a swamp, but no one could pull him, once he grabbed his hand, maybe he would fall into it.

Shen Yanjin has a lot of power in S City, and Gu Qingyan is undoubtedly dreaming if he wants to escape from his palm. An invisible net lies dormant in the dark, slowly closing in and waiting for an opportunity to capture the prey and entangle it to the death.

Xia Bai's incident is just a flashpoint, the only warmth is gone, what else can he lose? He couldn't stand Shen Yanjin's desire to control and possessiveness, and the deformed love made him feel like he was about to suffocate. He knew that Shen Yanjin had sent someone to spy on him secretly, although he didn't know who that person was. He has been pretending that nothing has happened these days, just doing a scene for Shen Yanjin to see.

If you can't escape, let's go to hell together.

There is a faint crazy factor flowing in the blood, and the demonic flowers in the eyes of the young man bloom layer by layer, blooming to the fullest. Seeing Gu Qingyan like this in April, she faintly realized something, and her chest was full of fear and uneasiness.

Her uneasiness did not last long, for the day of her worst fears soon came.

On that day, Shen Yanjin, who had disappeared for a long time, appeared at the school gate again. The white cigarette rolled on his lips, swallowing the clouds and puffing into the mist, and his face was hidden behind the white smoke.

He didn't notice April's cunzài, just leaned slightly against the car - obviously waiting for someone.

April hid behind the bushes, silently watching the man's corner. It didn't take long for her to see the boy straddle the bag and walk towards the man.

Because they were a little far away, she couldn't see the expressions of the two of them clearly, and only saw Shen Yanjin reaching out and touching the young man's hair, but the young man didn't resist.

April's heart sank heavily.

Not far away, the two of them didn't delay for long in place, and soon, Gu Qingyan got into the car, and Shen Yanjin followed closely and got into the car. The black car quickly drove off into the distance. April flashed out from behind the bushes, and without hesitation, he stopped a taxi and asked the driver to follow the car in front.

It was the first time she had taken a taxi in order to run into a catastrophe from which she could never recover.

The black car drove into the villa area with the highest house price in S City and stopped in front of a villa with red bricks and green tiles. April watched from afar as the boy stepped out of the car first, quietly waiting for the man to park the car. Because he had his head down, she couldn't read his expression clearly.

Maybe she was wrong, he couldn't have done that, but he was such a proud person, how could he compromise?

At this moment in April, there was a sudden feeling that the dust had settled.

She sat in the taxi, and through the window, she watched Shen Yanjin take Gu Qingyan's shoulders and disappear behind the door. Next to her, the driver asked her impatiently if she wanted to get out of the car, April said sorry to him, and then calmly pushed the door and stepped out of the car.

Her steps were not hurried, her expression was calm, and she walked straight to the door of the villa.

Raised his hand, rang the doorbell, waited for a few seconds, and did not hear the sound of the door opening. The slightly rough index finger continued to ring the doorbell, again and again, and the expression on the face of the owner of the finger was not impatient, and the silence was a little weird.

Perhaps the annoying sound was too noisy, and the clatter of leather shoes against the ground came from far and near, and then stopped in front of the door.

Shen Yanjin frowned, and with some impatience, he brought his eyes to the cat's eye, and when he saw that it was April, he was stunned for a moment. How did she find here? The question flashed through his mind.

I heard a "click" and the door was pushed open from the inside.

April looked up, and when she saw Shen Yanjin's disheveled clothes and a flush on her face, her pupils shrank slightly.

Soon, she lowered her eyes and covered the strangeness in her eyes, "I have something to tell you." ”

She didn't wait for Shen Yanjin to speak first, the man pulled the tie on the neckline, and said in a rough voice: "Your task has been completed very well, Qingyan has returned to my side, and I will remit the rest of the remuneration to you tomorrow." ”

Shen Yanjin obviously thought that Gu Qingyan took the initiative to find him, which was the effect of April's persuasion, and his longing for many years was about to come true, so he really didn't have much time to deal with her.

April's gaze fell on the man's face steadily, "I'm sorry, I can't wait for tomorrow." ”

The man didn't realize that she had something to say, he knew that April had always been weird, and after thinking for a moment, he said to her mockingly: "Since you can't wait for a moment, then you wait for me at the door for a while, and I'll go to the house and get it for you." ”

After saying this, the man didn't look at April again, and turned around and walked directly towards the back room.

Through the open door, you can see the magnificent interior inside, April didn't listen to Shen Yanjin's words, and walked in directly. Her steps are light, like a cat.

She wanted to find Gu Qingyan and take him away.

This villa is divided into two floors, downstairs is the dining room living room and relaxation room, April did not find the figure of the teenager downstairs, his eyes couldn't help but fall on the carved spiral staircase, and then looked down the stairs to the second floor. Without long hesitation, she walked up the stairs with the handrail, but because the stairs were wooden, no matter how lightly she moved, she would still hear a lot of movement.

She cautiously reached the center of the stairs, and was about to continue her walk when the boy she was looking for appeared at the end of the stairs.

The clothes on his body were as messy as Shen Yanjin's, and although April had no experience in this area, he still guessed what had just happened.

At this time, the boy stared at her with a gaze that he had never seen before, and under the pressure of that gaze, April struggled.

The reason why Gu Qingyan came back with Shen Yanjin was that he had long been prepared to die and the net would be broken, but he didn't expect that April would appear at such a critical moment. The conversation that had just come to the door reached his ears without falling down, making him feel ridiculous.

It turned out that Lin April came to him again and again, just to spy on him, and he thought they could be regarded as friends.

When did he become so naïve, he even opened his mouth to ask her if she liked him.

Now that I think about it, he's a complete idiot.

The overwhelming disappointment and hatred permeated the lake-like eyes, and April lowered her head slightly, avoiding the young man's eyes. She continued her original movements, walked up the stairs step by step, and then stood still in front of Gu Qingyan.

The boy didn't speak, his eyes locked on April, and the love in his eyes turned blank in an instant.

Sure enough, his initial idea was right, people like Lin April who live at the bottom are greedy, selfish, and gloomy, and once they find an opportunity, they will definitely climb up by any means.

He will never trust her again, no, after today, he will not have a future.

Already too lazy to speak again, Gu Qingyan turned around directly, leaving only an indifferent and lonely back. April knew that the boy must have been disappointed in her, but now that time was pressing, she had to take him away.

Sensing that her hand was being held, Gu Qingyan looked at her in disgust, but heard a sentence in April's lower voice.

"Come with me."

He was a little stunned for a moment, and the temperature in his hands suddenly became extremely hot. He seemed to feel hot and shook off April's hand directly.

It was as if the heart had been injected with fresh blood and began to beat violently again.

After a long time, Gu Qingyan recalled this scene and felt that he had a dream, and he began to hallucinate, and this sentence appeared repeatedly in the dream. In the end, he was confused, and he couldn't tell whether April said "follow me" or "I'm sorry." ”

Of course they didn't make it, Shen Yanjin had already seen this scene in his eyes.

"Lin April, who allowed you to come in?" The sudden mature male voice surprised the two of them.

The man held the cheque in his hand, which had just been signed, and leaned against the wall and looked at them with a smile. No, he was looking at April, and the sticky and venomous eyes like snakes made April feel frozen all over.

Gu Qingyan quickly restrained the expression on his face, clasped his hands to his chest, and looked at April indifferently. He's already been fooled once, and he won't be stupid enough to do it a second time.

The panic was only for a moment, and April regained his composure, and said a lie with an unchanged face, "I saw that you hadn't come down for a long time, so I wanted to come over and see if something had happened." ”

Shen Yanjin's expression was cold, and the brand-new check in his hand was crumpled by him. He heard what April said to Gu Qingyan, and he was originally suspicious of why April came so coincidentally, but now he was even more sure of the purpose of April's coming here.

This day is very important to him, how could he let a yellow-haired girl ruin it?

Shen Yanjin stared at April with a smile and slowly walked towards her. The crumpled check in his hand was spread out by him again, and then he rubbed April's face with the crumpled check, turned his head to the young man standing on the side and said, "Qingyan, your charm is so great, another little girl who was hooked by you." ”

The boy did not blink, and put his hands in his pockets, where there were knives he had prepared in the morning.

The man didn't really want Gu Qingyan to say anything, he put his eyes on April again, and the smile between his eyebrows and eyes receded in an instant.

"Do you know what it takes to anger me?" He pursed his lips and stared at her slowly.

April's gaze didn't dodge, and the eyes behind the glasses looked at him quietly.

A pair of eyes that have no love.

Shen Yanjin was really angry, he tore the check to shreds in front of April, and then stretched out his hand to the sky. As the scraps of paper fell like snowflakes, he reached out and grabbed April's neckline and lifted her up.

April was pulled by the neck, and her whole face turned red because of her poor breathing.

At such a moment, she turned her head with difficulty and looked straight at the young man behind her. She saw the boy take something out of his trouser pocket, and the white, cold color stung her eyes. She withdrew her gaze very slowly, then smiled at the man in front of her.

It was a smile full of joy and an anachronistic smile.

Shen Yanjin hesitated for a moment because of this smile, and the strength in his hand suddenly decreased, but April took advantage of this opportunity to quickly turn around.

Because the two of them were standing on the edge of the stairs, April's sudden move made Shen Yanjin subconsciously take a step back.

The next moment, the blood spread endlessly, merging into a river in her dream.
