Sitting in Zhao Bing's car, Zhao Xishui still had a faint and calm smile on her face, but her mood was obviously not as calm as it looked, and it was like a deer.

But she won't show it in front of Zhao Bing, she is an elder, although it seems that this statement is far-fetched now, but before that layer of paper was pierced, she was Zhao Bing's aunt.

Zhao Bing didn't call his aunt again this time.

Today is Valentine's Day, since he decided to celebrate the holiday with Zhao Xishui, calling his aunt again will make him feel awkward, and he will feel a little guilty.

Naturally, he didn't have the courage to call Zhao Xishui by his nickname, so he had no choice but not to call him.

"Where to go, you decide." Zhao Bing was also nervous.

Zhao Xishui saw Zhao Bing's nervousness, and smiled more easily: "Since you asked me out, it is naturally you who decide." ”

"It's up to you."

Zhao Bing was embarrassed.

This covenant made him feel a strange feeling.

Is this all the first date?

Many years later, will everyone think it is strange in retrospect?

"Don't you love barbecue? Why don't you find a place to have a barbecue? Zhao Xishui stroked a strand of hair around his ear and said very casually.

Zhao Bing took a breath and said, "Do you want to go to the street stall?" Are you used to eating? ”

Zhao Xishui glanced at Zhao Bing: "Am I as delicate as you imagined?" ”。

With a sneer, Zhao Bing touched his nose while driving, and said, "You are the empress of business, or the goddess of many men, and the street stall really doesn't seem to be suitable for you." ”

"Am I a goddess? Do you think of me as a goddess again? ”。 Zhao Xishui suddenly wanted to tease Zhao Bing for a few words, and said with a smile: "I'm going to go to the street stall today, so as not to be looked down upon by you." ”

Zhao Bing didn't dare to answer, and was already so nervous that he couldn't speak.

Soon, the two found a street stall and sat down, ordered some barbecue, and grabbed a few beers.

The Zhao family is massive, and the same is true for Zhao Xishui.

But the meaning is more important than the form, they don't care what they eat and drink, the boss doesn't recognize them, otherwise, it is estimated that they will be shocked.

It is really scary that the future helmsman of the dignified Huaxia First Family, the eldest son of the Zhao family, and the aunt and nephew actually come to eat in this kind of place.

The two of them never mentioned dating anymore, and they deliberately forgot what day it was, just like the most ordinary party, but where could they really forget it in their hearts.

Yes, today is Valentine's Day.

I'm dating.

They all thought so in their hearts.

Zhao Xishui's complexion was very good, and he was in a good mood, so he ate with Zhao Bing for a while, and asked casually, "Have you ever seen Ruoyu today?" ”

Zhao Bing was stunned for a moment, smiled, and didn't dare to answer.

This question is really difficult to answer, he can't understand why Zhao Xishui would ask this.

"Looks like it's gone." Zhao Xishui said with a smile: "She is destined to be your wife, you can't be sorry for her, you have to love her more." ”

Zhao Bing's expression was a little strange.

Such words, coming out of Zhao Xishui's mouth, no matter how you listen to it, there is a strange feeling.

He didn't want to continue the topic because he felt that it was disrespectful to Zhao Xishui.

So, he changed the topic, took out a small brocade box from his pocket, handed it to Zhao Xishui, and said: "This is what I saw when I was shopping a few days ago, I think it is very suitable for you, so I bought it, do you like it?" ”。

Zhao Xishui looked surprised, she didn't expect that Zhao Bing actually prepared a gift.

It was an unexpected surprise.

There was no smile on her face, but there was a hint of joy in her heart.

Since she has to face her heart, she already regards Zhao Bing as her man, Zhao Bing gave her a gift, and it was given on Valentine's Day, of course, it made her very happy.

She found a brocade box, which was a string of bracelets, very beautiful, but not particularly expensive.

But it doesn't matter.

In today's world, only those who have no money will pay attention to whether things are expensive, and those who are really rich pay attention to whether things are good-looking and suitable.

What's more, this is the first time Zhao Bing has given her a gift.

Therefore, Zhao Xishui was very happy and satisfied, but he didn't show it, and said, "Well, it's very beautiful, then I'll accept it." ”

She didn't say thank you, which would have rusted the relationship.

When she accepted it, it proved that she really liked it.

Zhao Bing was also very happy, but as soon as he turned his head, he couldn't be happy.

Not far away, a black sedan was parked there.

Needless to say, it was Liu Jian.

Zhao Xishui's shadow.

For Liu Jian, Zhao Bing was really admired, but he was a little apologetic.

Because he likes Zhao Xishui, Liu Jian gave up a lot, and was willing to become Zhao Xishui's shadow and protect her every step of the way.

This kind of protection is not one of the greatest manifestations of love.

Zhao Bing admired, but felt sorry for the other party.

He took away Liu Jian's lover.

Whether he admits it or not, whether he has intentions or not, but this is the truth.

Sensing Zhao Bing's eyes, Zhao Xishui's heart was shocked, and he glanced at Liu Jian in the distance, and his mood became a little complicated.

Liu Jian's actions moved her.

It's a pity that touching is not love.

She also admired Liu Jian's persistence, if it weren't for the fact that she was not an ordinary woman, she would never fall in love with Liu Jian, at most, the two could only be confidants.

"I admire him." Zhao Bing said very seriously.

"I never understood why you didn't come together."

Zhao Xishui smiled bitterly: "Because I don't love him." ”

I don't love him.

This reason is ridiculous and true.

Zhao Bing said: "I really want to have a good drink with him, he is one of the men I admire the most." ”

If you love someone, you will silently guard her.

Many men can say this, but few can actually do it.

Liu Jian didn't say it, but he did.

Such a man deserves respect.

Zhao Bing just said this casually, but he didn't expect that Zhao Xishui really walked towards Liu Jian.

Suddenly, Zhao Bing was dumbfounded.

Auntie, I'm just joking, don't take it seriously!

When he comes, what are we?

I want to drink with him, but on such an occasion, today's special day, how can I not be embarrassed?

He doesn't think I'm demonstrating to him on purpose, do I?

Took away his lover, and called him to make a light bulb?

Zhao Bing really couldn't do such a thing.

But he didn't know why Zhao Xishui did this.

Zhao Bing wanted to stop it, but there was no reason for it, so he had to give up.

Perhaps, he won't come!

Normal men won't come!

Zhao Bing could only comfort himself like this.

But in the end, Liu Jian came, which greatly surprised him.

Liu Jian is normal, but he came.

Because he is open-minded, because he is a real gentleman, and he values the opportunity to eat with Zhao Xishui.

That's not the point.

The reason why Liu Jian came here was because he had already figured it out.

If you have to face it sooner or later, why not face it sooner?

He has a clear conscience, and he is naturally not afraid to see Zhao Bing.

He didn't feel that he and Zhao Bing were rivals in love, and in his opinion, he didn't even have the qualifications to be rivals in love.

The qualification was given by Zhao Xishui, Zhao Xishui didn't love him, where did he have any qualifications.

Facing Liu Jian, Zhao Bing was very embarrassed and a little weak-hearted.

But Liu Jian obviously didn't feel like this, he opened a bottle of wine and said to Zhao Bing: "Come on, do it!" ”

Zhao Bing instinctively drank a bottle with Liu Jian.

Liu Jian's face was as usual, and he didn't seem to have any unusual emotions, he ate and drank silently.

The atmosphere was a little solemn.

No one spoke, and all three of them ate and drank silently.

Zhao Bing saluted a bottle of Liu Jian, and the latter drank it.

No matter how respectful, he refused.

"I'm not drinking very well, I've already drunk it, I'll toast you another bottle, and then I'll leave."

Liu Jian waved his hand, opened another bottle of wine, looked at Zhao Bing, then at Zhao Xishui, and finally laughed.

He rarely laughs, but now he laughs, and his smile is very clean and free.

"In this world, I don't dare to claim to know the most about cherishing water, but I definitely know her very well, for so many years, she has had a very hard time, a few days ago, your grandfather came to me, we chatted together for a while, he didn't say anything to me, but I know what he wants to say, he feels that the Zhao family owes me, but I don't think so."

Zhao Bing's expression became very serious.

He was listening carefully to Liu Jian.

Zhao Xishui lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking.

Is it finally time for a showdown?

Zhao Xishui breathed a sigh of relief, she knew that sooner or later, Liu Jian would sit down face to face with Zhao Bing and talk about herself.

She is afraid of this day and looks forward to it, so she has mixed feelings at this time.

It felt like it was about to be liberated, and it was like it was about to lose something.

Liu Jian continued: "I am very grateful to your Zhao family, because of your grandfather's kindness back then, I was fortunate to meet Xishui, I am not an exaggeration to say that in this world, I am the man who loves her the most, there is no one." ”

Zhao Bing did not refute.

Zhao Xishui glanced at Liu Jian, there was a hint of apology in his eyes, as if he wanted to say something, but was stopped by Liu Jian waving his hand.

"You don't have to deny it, you don't have to admit it, it doesn't make sense, because you don't love me, you never loved me."

Liu Jian's words didn't sound very dejected at all, and he even laughed: "But is it important?" It doesn't matter either. Because love is never truly equal, I love you, you don't necessarily love me, this is life, I figured this out a long time ago, so, over the years, I just silently guarded the water, but today, I want to say that I handed over the water to you, I hope you will take care of her for me in this life, can you promise me? ”。

Zhao Bing nodded silently.

"You nodded, which means that you promised me, I believe in you, because this is a promise between men, and the men of the Zhao family are all worth believing." Liu Jian continued to smile: "Come, I wish you happiness!" ”

These words were a bit explicit, and Zhao Bing and Zhao Xishui were at a loss.

But Liu Jian didn't care, he drank a bottle of wine, and when he saw that the two of them had just started drinking, he stood up and walked to his car without looking back.

"I won't bother you." Liu Jian smiled: "You eat and drink slowly." ”

It's a bit funny to say this at this time, to say it in such an atmosphere.

But neither of them could laugh.

They looked at Liu Jian's back together, and they all felt that this back was very tall.

Liu Jian's stature is medium, and his back is naturally not really tall.

But he is a gentleman, he can afford to put it down, and he is frank and open, so he naturally looks tall.

"He's really respectable." Zhao Bing said sincerely.

Zhao Xishui was finally a little moved, and said: "In this life, I am very lucky and satisfied to have a confidante like him." ”

Zhao Bing made an exception and was not jealous, and even nodded in agreement.

Liu Jian returned to the car, burped, and felt much more comfortable, he lit a cigarette and looked at the two people in the distance, but his expression was a little complicated.

He had a vague decision.

He wanted to leave.

Since Zhao Xishui was handed over to Zhao Bing, and the latter also promised to take care of her, he should leave.

However, he was a little entangled.

The situation is chaotic, and Yanjing is also undercurrent, although he doesn't ask about mundane things, he feels that now is not the time to leave.

The Zhao family is about to usher in the biggest catastrophe in history, and Zhao Xishui will naturally bear the brunt.

Whether or not you can break out of the cocoon and be reborn is very important and difficult.

Isn't it too capricious to go at this time? A little too cruel?

I can't do anything, I can't help much, but at least I can do my best to keep her safe.

If she is still alive, there is hope for the Zhao family, if she dies, what hope does the Zhao family have?

And over the years, he has experienced many things, and he knows better than anyone how many people want Zhao Xishui to die.

They will not show mercy to Zhao Xishui because he is beautiful, on the contrary, because Zhao Xishui is too good, let them be persistent in killing.

Unconsciously, Liu Jian remembered many things at the moment.

His life story is quite tortuous.

Born in a certain mountain, his parents finally went up the mountain to collect medicine, were bitten to death by a tiger, and finally left a corpse with no bones.

He was eight years old.

But even at the age of eight, he has the courage and persistence that only adults can have.

He prepared alone for half a month, and finally entered the mountain, and finally killed the evil tiger, of course, because he was really too weak, and finally died.

Much like Qiao Duan in many movies and novels, he was saved by a master.

The master was the only monk to guard a nearby temple that was very dilapidated, but he lived there for ten years.

In ten years, he learned martial arts from the monk, and finally went out of the mountain, took the military examination, everything fell into place, entered the dragon soul, and became one of the masters of the dragon soul.

At that time, he was in full swing, and his reputation was far and wide.

Later, he withdrew from the organization with Zhao Sihai, and he became Zhao Xishui's bodyguard.

followed Zhao Xishui all the time, he became Zhao Xishui's shadow, blocking countless crises for the latter, and he was also injured countless times......

He has no regrets.

He felt that this kind of life was very fulfilling and happy.
