I don't know how long it took, but it was already dark outside. The industrial pollution in Los Angeles is not very serious, and the stars in the sky are clearly visible.

"Are you awake?" Yechen's voice sounded in Hai Yao's ears.

"Yes!" Hai Yao nodded lightly, pulled the quilt up, and looked at Yechen secretly with clear little eyes.

"What's wrong?" Seeing that Hai Yao was a little different from usual, Yechen asked puzzledly.

"Goo! Mutter! ”

A voice sounded out of thin air, and Hai Yao shyly pulled the quilt even higher.

Yechen seemed to already know what it was, and smiled lightly and said, "I haven't eaten for a day, how about I take you down the mountain to eat delicious food." ”

"Yes!" Hai Yao nodded a little shyly.

…………………………

The Oriental home of the capital

Murong Shiyao huddled on a large bed alone with her legs in her arms.

This is the third day that Murong Shiyao has been here. Except for the maid who came to deliver food every day, Murong Shiyao didn't see anyone else, even the so-called 'fiancΓ©' Murong Shiyao didn't see it once.

Murong Shiyao has to face this empty villa alone every day, although there are all kinds of facilities in the villa, and there are countless entertainment facilities for Murong Shiyao to spend time, but Murong Shiyao still feels endless loneliness. The garden outside the villa was beautiful, but Murong Shiyao hadn't seen it once.

In the past three days, the people here don't care about themselves, no matter what Murong Shiyao does, as long as they don't leave the territory of the villa area, the people here will not directly intervene.

Murong Shiyao sat alone on the bed looking up at the sky, the sky here was gray and he couldn't see anything, just like his own destiny without a trace of light. Murong Shiyao couldn't help but shrink her head into her legs.

I don't know how Brother Chen is, and Sister Yao doesn't know if it's okay. Brother Chen is by Sister Yao's side, Sister Yao should be very happy! Maybe I shouldn't be by Brother Chen's side and Sister Yao, Xiao Yao is a broom star, killing Brother Chen's family, Brother Night and Sister Night are also dead, and Brother Chen has lived alone for five years...... Even lost his memory, Uncle Hai too, if it weren't for Xiao Yao's reason, Uncle Hai wouldn't have had a car accident. After leaving, I don't know if everyone will remember Xiao Yao...... People like Xiao Yao are really not suitable to stay by everyone's side.

The more she thought about Murong Shiyao, the more sad she became, and she lowered her head and sobbed quietly.

"Buckle! Buckle! ”

At this time, there was a sudden knock on the door outside.

Murong Shiyao hurriedly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

A young man walked in through the door, still holding some pastries in his hand.

Murong Shiyao just glanced at the man lightly and lowered his head again.

The man didn't say anything after seeing it, just smiled lightly, gently placed the pastry in front of Murong Shiyao, pulled a chair from the side and sat down, looking at Murong Shiyao quietly. Murong Shiyao didn't move the pastry in front of him, and the two of them were silent and didn't speak.

"You just cried." The man was the first to ask.

Murong Shiyao gently looked up at the man in front of him.

"Are the people here treating you badly?"

Murong Shiyao shook her head gently.

"Do you really want to get out?"

Murong Shiyao was stunned for a moment, she didn't know why the man asked like this.

Murong Shiyao nodded, but shook her head quickly.

"I hate it here, so why don't you want to leave?"

Murong Shiyao quietly did not speak.

"Are you afraid that they will be bad for your family?" The man asked, gesturing out the window.

Murong Shiyao still didn't speak, but her head was lowered.

The man smiled softly, "If I can guarantee that they won't be bad for your parents, do you want to get out of here?" ”

Murong Shiyao lowered her head and was silent for a long time, until finally she stared at her little feet and shook her head gently.

"You're so strange, you don't want to stay here, I promise I won't let them be bad for your family, you don't want to leave yet." The man shook his head strangely, "Could it be that you fell in love with the person who swept you in?" ”

Murong Shiyao shook his head and raised his head gently, looking at the man in front of him with clear eyes, "Why are you persuading me to leave here." ”

"Well...... the man didn't know how to answer Murong Shiyao's question for a while, and after thinking for a while, he said, "En...... You'll find out later...... But are you sure you don't want to leave here......"

"Yes!" Murong Shiyao lowered her head a little lonely.

"In that case, you're going to marry someone you don't like."

Murong Shiyao lowered her head and looked at her feet, not knowing what she was thinking.

"Forget it......" the man stood up and put the chair back in place, "It won't be long before someone you like will come and pick you up, and I won't persuade you anymore." ”

Favorite people...... Hearing this, Murong Shiyao's body trembled slightly.

"But that's fine, you should stay here before you do so. If you are careful to wrinkle your face like this all day long, it will not look good at that time. You don't want him to see you who aren't pretty! With that, the man quietly closed the door.

After the man left, Murong Shiyao picked up the pastry next to his feet with his hand and took a small bite.

In a corner outside the villa, a dark figure watched the man leave the villa. After a moment's pause, the shadow vanished.

………………

L.a.

A group of people gathered in front of a small shop, pointing and not knowing what they were looking at. There was also a police car parked there around.

"Big Brother Night, what's going on there?" Hai Yao stretched his neck on tiptoe in the distance, trying to see what was going on inside.

"I don't know, let's go over and take a look." As he spoke, Yechen pulled Hai Yao and walked inside.

"Don't! I'm just lying here. "A bare-shouldered old man in his scruffy forties and fifties was lying in front of the grocery store.

Even the police officer looked at the old man helplessly, and the proprietress of the grocery store also looked at the two police officers with a pleading face.

"How can you let people do business when you're lying here!" A police officer with a gun said impatiently.

"I don't care, I won't leave if you don't help me find my wife." The old man continued to lie on the ground and play tricks.

"How do we know where your wife is?"

"My wife has mental problems and I haven't seen him for two years."

"Does your wife have a phone?"

"Yes!"

"Then you can call him and ask where she is!"

"Don't, my wife won't answer my calls!"

The officer with the gun took out his mobile phone, "Or you tell me what her phone is, I'll call her!"

The old man began to hesitate and did not speak.

The police officer seemed to see something, and put the phone back, "You said that you are in the middle of the night, lying in front of other people's stalls and affecting people's business, don't say anything, what should you do when people close their stalls." ”

"What can I do, I'll be lying here. There is food and drink here, and you will not die of hunger! The old man lay in front of the grocery store with his hands on his back.

"Why don't I take you to the aid station! There is also food and drink, and a bed for you to sleep in! The officer said, holding his breath.

Hearing the aid station, the old man was suddenly unhappy again, "No, I won't go to the aid station." ”

"You don't go to the aid station, go to your wife. What's the matter of playing tricks in front of other people's stalls! Another police officer next to him said sarcastically.

"I don't have any money!" The old man muttered under his breath.

"Why don't you look like this, I'll give you twenty yuan for you to go for a supper, and then find a place to sleep beautifully for a night, don't lie in front of someone's stall, what do you say?"

"No! Go get my wife back for me!" Otherwise, I won't leave, I'll eat here and drink here! The old man continued to play tricks.

"Damn, are you looking for trouble! My wife can't find you and takes you to the aid station, do you want to go? ”

"Don't go!" The old man refused.

"Then give you twenty dollars to find a place to have supper, do you want it!"

"Don't!" The old man refused without thinking about it.

In this way, the two police officers looked at the old man for five or six minutes, and neither of them spoke, but the old man touched his body for a long time, took out a small pack of inferior cigarettes for a few yuan, got up in the lighter store of the grocery store, and stuffed the lighter into his pocket.

The proprietress is also in her forties, less than 1.5 meters tall, and she can only watch the old man who is stronger than herself take the lighter in the store and dare not make a sound.

"!"

Seeing the old man take it for himself like this, the little officer clenched his fist and was about to have a seizure when he was stopped by the officer with the gun.

The officer with the gun pulls your coin out of his pocket and throws it to the proprietress . The proprietress glanced at the gun-armed officer with gratitude.

"If you're going to stay here, then you're going to be here. We don't care about this, and we won't care if you don't leave the boss lady and find someone to beat you to death. ”

"Cut! Just her, she dared to hit me. Now it's a society governed by the rule of law, and she won't dare to find someone to beat me if I lend her a guts. The old man said disdainfully.

"Really?" The police officer with the gun squinted his eyes and glanced at the old man, turned around and got into the police car, "Xiao Li, let's go!" ”

At first, the old man was still lying there and was reluctant to move, perhaps because he thought that the officers would not dare to ignore him. But as the engine of the police car turned on, the old man began to be a little anxious. The old man looked around, saw the fiery eyes of the people around him, and remembered what the police officer had said, even if he was killed, the old man would not care, and the old man was even more anxious.

As soon as the police car drove out, the old man hurriedly stood up and didn't care about the slippers that were not on his feet, so he chased after the police car and opened the door of the police car directly.

"What are you doing! I said we're not going to do anything about it! As he spoke, the officer with the gun asked to close the car door from the inside.

"Don't! Give me twenty dollars and I'll go!" The old man also pulled the car door from the outside and wouldn't let go.

"Just gave it to you you don't want it, it's too late now! Get out of here, we're going back! The officer with the gun said impatiently.

"No, you can't ignore me! You're a cop! ”

"I just told you that you don't want to, and now we're going to get off work!"

"If you don't give it to me, I'll chase me to the police station!" The old man said as he pulled the car door hard.

In this way, the old man and this police officer were arguing here for two or three minutes. The police officer watched with disgust as the old man took out his wallet from his pocket and took out a Grandpa Mao from his wallet.

Just as the old man was looking at this Grandpa Mao with joy on his face, the police officer went to the grocery store to buy a bottle of water and replaced this Grandpa Mao.

The officer threw the crumpled twenty he had just exchanged for to the old man. Although it was not Grandpa Mao who gave it to the old man who was a little disappointed, he finally gave a twenty. The old man happily put the twenty in his pocket and left the grocery store with a smile.

"Brother Night, that old man is very wrong, should we follow and take a look!" Hai Yao looked at the back of the old man's departure, pulled the corner of Yechen's clothes, and said.

"This matter, Hai Yao, you can decide for yourself, don't ask me!" Yechen looked at Hai Yao's innocent face and said with a smile.

"Hmm!" Hai Yao nodded lightly and followed.

Yechen didn't say anything, and just followed Hai Yao.
