Winter morning. The color of the sky is always light. It's like paint smudged in water droplets.

Standing on the windowsill of the Lian Mansion, looking at the mountains opposite. The continuous layers of mountains and greens also add a bit of cold steepness in the cold wind. Even the wind blowing from the mountains has biting edges and corners. Blowing on human skin, like a sharp blade scraping human flesh. The winds of the early morning are the strongest and the most powerful. Jian Nian stood on the windowsill. Wearing only a light nightgown in white gauze. Holding a glass of whiskey on the rocks. Not afraid of the chill at the moment.

There was a maid's knock behind him. Something to report.

Jian Nian raised her eyebrows lazily. Confused, he turned around. He muttered, "So early." ”

He frowned. Deliberately procrastinating for time. After an hour, I changed my clothes and went downstairs comfortably.

The dark shadow in the living room was not in a hurry. Always sit straight on the couch with your eyes closed. I heard Jian Nian's footsteps on the stairs. The dark shadow slowly opened his eyes. He at this time. has changed into a black outfit on weekdays. It is indeed similar to the shadow of a man.

Jian Nian deliberately yawned. While staggering lazily. The corners of the shadow's mouth twitched. Respectfully stood up.

Jian Nian didn't seem to see him at all. The steps under his feet are crooked. With a shake of his body, he sat down on the sofa. The whole person occupied all the sofa where the black shadow was sitting just now. The dark shadow stood with his hands hanging by his side. Keep your head slightly down at all times. He was very humble, and he was no different from what he used to be.

"Young Owner ......"

"Sister-in-law Li." Jian Nian suddenly yawned and shouted the cook's name. Directly interrupted the dark shadow's words. "Where's breakfast?"

Sister-in-law Li hurried over. He bowed and replied, "Breakfast has been prepared in the dining room." ”

"Speaking of food. I'm so energetic. ”

Jian Nian seemed to be talking to herself. A carp straightened up and sat up from the couch again. Walked into the dining room on slender legs.

The dark shadow pursed the corners of her lips. Turn around and look in the direction of the restaurant. Jian Nian had already sat down at the edge of the dining table. Munching on a sandwich.

"Young Owner ......"

"It's delicious." Jian Nian praised the cook's craftsmanship. Interrupted the Black Shadow again.

The shadow clenched his fists secretly. Hold on. If he doesn't speak, Jian Nian doesn't speak. As soon as he opened his mouth, Jian Nian was bound to interrupt him.

Such a child's play. So naïve.

The dark shadow laughed inwardly. Then he said, "The owner asked me to ......."

"The milk is imported from the Netherlands. It's pure and delicate. Jian Nian said dispensable. It's clear that it's embarrassing for the dark shadow.

The maids standing in the dining room did not dare to respond. The butler's judging gaze went back and forth between the black shadow and Jian Nian.

The tense atmosphere made everyone hold their breath. Only Jian Nian was indifferent.

"Young owner."

Suddenly, a man in black trotted over from the entrance hallway. Holding your phone. Hunched over, he whispered in Jian Nian's ear.

Jian Nian paused slightly. After taking the phone, he motioned for the person to step back. Then took a sip of milk. He put the phone to his ear. Respectfully whispered. "Father."

The housekeepers and maids were even more afraid to speak at this time. The atmosphere plummeted below freezing.

The dark shadow captured the subtle changes in the expression on Jian Nian's face. Although outsiders can't see it. But he couldn't escape the eyes of the dark shadow.

Jian Nian barely said anything the whole time. Only from time to time "um" echoed. His gaze was always cold to the shadow.

The black shadow was wearing a mask, making it impossible to tell if he was expressionless or not. It's just the corners of the lips that are naturally saggy. He already knew what Quinn was on the phone. A moment later. Jian Nian said, "I know." Father. I will definitely cooperate well. Successful completion of this mission". Hung up.

"Presumably. The young owner also knows the reason for my trip. The shadow raised the corners of her lips a little smugly.

Jian Nian gritted her teeth. Tightened his grip on the phone. Didn't say anything. He only glanced at the dark shadow.

The two looked at each other. The butlers and maids on the side seemed to see sparks in the air. I heard the sizzle of sparks. No one dared to blink. Even the heartbeat seems to be taboo at this time.

Bang. Jian Nian smashed her phone on the table and stood up. Staring at the shadows. "What the hell do you mean?"

"Compared to the young owner, he is idle every day. Indolent. I guess I shouldn't mean anything. ”

"Hmph." Jian Nian sneered. Stepping forward and approaching the dark shadow. Squinted at him. "You're asking for credit in front of my father."

The black shadow bowed slightly. smiled: "Everyone has their own duties. Solve problems for the owner. Strengthen the organization and develop. I don't think I'm asking for credit. Because it's my obligation. I had to do it. Maybe. Only for those who do nothing. My actions are worthy of invitation. ”

"Dark Shadow."

Jian Nian let out a low roar. It's not done yet. The shadow suddenly said, "I didn't know I was doing this. What is there to be angry about? It's all about being organized. And in this operation, I ask the owner to be sure to involve the young owner. It is also to allow the young owner to establish a new image in front of the owner. Let the owner trust and favor the less owner. What am I doing wrong? ”

"Have you ever thought about it? Between me and Lei Ming. The trust you've built up will be lost because of you. ”

"Then please ask the young owner. What is the purpose of building trust between you and Lei Ming. ”

“……”

"Isn't it to help the organization deal with Lei Ming more easily. Should the inside be together? The shadow stepped forward. The pestle was in front of Jian Nian's heels. Both are the same height. Look straight ahead. No one loses to the momentum. "Otherwise. The trust that Shao Dong and Lei Ming have built. And what's the point. ”

Jian Nian narrowed her eyes slightly. He sneered without changing his face: "I just don't think now is the best time to start." ”

"I'm sorry. Less proprietors. The final decision on action is made by the proprietor. Not you. Since the owner thinks this is the best time. Then there's no better time to act. If the less owner has any opinion. It is possible to convince the owner. Otherwise. I had to follow the owner's orders to carry out the mission. But. Less proprietors. I'm curious. Why would you be so resistant to this task? ”

Jian Nian was silent. The shadow paused slightly. A meaningful smile tugged at the corners of his mouth. People don't understand.

"This task. For the young owner. It shouldn't make any sense. That's right. ”

The hot breath exhaled by the black shadow made Jian Nian even more irritable. But it can't be vented.

Jian Nian could only clench his fists. Didn't say anything. Knocking over the shadow of the shoulder, he walked forward.

"The owner should have told you. From now on. We need to work together every step of the way. ”

The dark shadow quipped. Quickly followed Jian Nian. Unexpectedly, Jian Nian stopped suddenly.

"Are you spying on me?"

The shadow laughed wickedly. "Isn't the Shao Dong family being watched all the time? This is the order of the proprietor. ”

Jane Nian is right. Don't dare to be too strong. Too much strength will only make the dark shadow suspicious. So he could only endure the anger in his stomach and turned upstairs. "You're going to follow me like a fart. I don't care. ”

"As long as you don't stink to death by the young owner's fart."

The dark shadow teased. Sure enough, he followed again.

Jian Nian glanced at it with her peripheral eyes. Secretly cursed "like a dog skin plaster". Hurried into his room. The black shadow also unceremoniously followed. Jian Nian can only be when he does not exist zài. Turn on your TV and game console. I played on my own. The dark shadow sat on the couch beside him. Place your hands on your thighs. watched with interest as Jian Nian played the game. Not a word.

And Jian Nian's heart had almost collapsed. The black image was nailed to his body. What opportunity did Jian Nian find to sneak out to inform Lei Ming and Lian Ronglin. If the news doesn't get out. For Lei Ming and Lian Ronglin, they are only afraid of a fatal attack. What to do...... What to do......

Jian Nian gritted her teeth in annoyance. Frantically press the buttons on the gamepad. Bang bang bang. I can't wait to pull the button out.

The black shadow watched Jian Nian's every move leisurely. To know. That's what he wants. Where he wanted to torture Jian Nian. Watch him struggle. Watching him fight alone and have no way out. This feeling. The black shadow felt so refreshed.

Winter. In this cold season. Perfect for ...... Dead.

……

……

Under the warm winter sun. Many elderly people and children in the nursing home came out to enjoy the rare sunny day.

Qian Xiaomo pushed Quinn along the garden path and walked slowly forward. Quinn is wrapped in a thick coat. Wear a woolen scarf and a felt hat to keep warm. Qian Xiaomo's uniform was covered with an overcoat. It's not cold when the wind blows. From time to time, you can smell the scent of new plums. Refreshing.

It's just that Qian Xiaomo's expression is gloomy. Not much interest. Pushing Quinn is also a god who doesn't give up. His eyes were confused, as if they were covered with a thick fog. Unfocused, staring ahead. I didn't see anything in my eyes. This is all because Qian Xiaomo had to chat with Quinn about Lei Ming. She didn't know why Quinn was interested in these things.

Don't. Widowed old people like to listen to other people's children.

It's just like this to talk to others about Lei Ming's feelings. It's not bad to say bad. It's not good to say yes. Qian Xiaomo also needs to pour out all kinds of feelings in her heart to someone else. These words cannot be said to Li Qianya. I can't say it to Qian Dad and Qian Mom. But. Forced to say these words. Qian Xiaomo's heart was not very comfortable. But in the end. Qian Xiaomo was also relieved.

Now the only thing she is confused is. The only one who can't put it down. Maybe it's because I'm worried about Lei Ming.

Qian Xiaomo did not sue Quinn about the affairs of the Skull League. But she knew that Lei Ming must be busy dealing with this organization now. Alone in danger. Experiencing something terrible and dangerous. It is impossible for Qian Xiaomo not to worry about Lei Ming. But she knew her worries were of no avail.

Qian Xiaomo couldn't help but sigh.

"Oh, sigh. It's not like you. ”

Qian Xiaomo was stunned. Pushing Quinn to a halt. He looked sideways at a shallow figure beside him. The figure is tall and slender. The air is suave and elegant. Between the eyebrows is a faint delicate air. It is like a clear and cool stream that flows through a mountain stream after rain. In the midst of this winter wind. He's more like the little white that surrounds the red plums. This is Dean Li Qiao.

Li Qiao smiled: "Could it be that I was not satisfied on the first day of work." ”

"Of course not." Qian Xiaomo hurriedly explained. "Speaking of work. I'm looking for you. ”

"Oh." Li Qiao was a little curious.

Fortunately, Kui was napping at the time. Qian Xiaomo pushed him to a corner in the sun and stopped. Cai asked a little embarrassedly, "Dean Li." I am very grateful to you for arranging for me to take care of Mr. Rong. It's so close to my family again......

"That's all I want to say." Li Qiao looked at Qian Xiaomo's expression. It seems like it's just the beginning.

Qian Xiaomo pursed her lips. And he said, "But ......."
