Chapter 05
Part5 You kneel down and kowtow, this skirt, I should give it to you. ”
Gu Mingcheng glanced at her, and his thin lips opened. "Who is this girl?" His voice seemed to be hoarse, and his sharp eyes were cast on Xia Zhiyao.
Xia Zhiyao was stunned for a moment, carefully examined his semantics, and then understood what he meant. She pursed her lips, her heart beat suddenly, and she was silent for a moment, before she lightly hooked the corners of her lips, and smiled very vaguely. "A customer who often drinks milk tea in the store."
"Really?" Gu Mingcheng's gaze seemed to penetrate her.
She quietly tightened her fists and straightened her back, "It's true." ”
His gaze swept over Xia Zhiyao and the bell one by one, and Gu Mingcheng furrowed his brows.
Xia Zhiyao pursed her lips, "Her name is Yi Xiaoqiu, her mother is Chen Xi, a teacher at C University, and her father is Yi Xu, a doctor at the Central Hospital. ”
"Easy order?" Gu Mingcheng is naturally a doctor who knows the way of change, an authoritative doctor in the central hospital, and a doctor who has returned from studying in the United States. He lowered his head and looked at the shrunken Xiaoqiu again, and there were indeed two similarities between his eyebrows and Yi Xu.
Zhan Mu, who was beside him, sensed that the atmosphere was not good, and immediately grabbed Gu Mingcheng's arm, "Brother Mingcheng, didn't you say you wanted to take me to the horse riding field?" It's three o'clock now, and it's too late if you don't leave! "Zhan Mu is a junior in College C, and she finally caught Gu Mingcheng, the fifth diamond king, how could she miss it easily?
Sweet and glutinous voice, I'm afraid that no man can resist, right?
Xia Zhiyao smiled bitterly, has his single-mindedness towards Ye Nian finally been consumed by time? At that time, Ye Nian didn't marry, but now he is not a fan? It turns out that his gentleness can be given to many women, but his ruthlessness is used exclusively on her.
However, when she saw Zhan Mu's appearance, her body couldn't help but be shocked. Zhan Mu seemed to notice her strangeness, eager to show his ownership of Gu Mingcheng, tightened his fingers again, and looked at her with his toes up.
Gu Mingcheng showed an unfathomable smile at this time, "What, Xia Zhiyao, scared?" ”
At this moment, Xia Zhiyao even suspected that Gu Mingcheng deliberately brought this woman who looked like Ye Nian to declare war on her. He just hated her, hated her so much that he couldn't tolerate her relief in the slightest.
She inhaled deeply, but her throat ached. However, she has come through such a difficult six years, and she miraculously survived on the verge of death, what else is there that cannot be faced? She looked at Gu Mingcheng fixedly, "Six years ago, I had already paid the price. She did owe Ye Nian a life, but she had done everything she could to repay the debt, and now, she was scarred and had nothing to pay.
"The price?" Gu Mingcheng chuckled, "Ye Nian's life, even if he accompanies you with this cheap life, it's not enough!" ”
"Auntie, this uncle is so fierce, Auntie, let's go, don't pay attention to this uncle!" Bell thinks that the tall man in front of her is very handsome, even more handsome than her father! But he is too fierce, he is still his father, he never scolds, and he never gets angry. Looking at this man's fierce appearance, if Aunt Xia is injured, it will not be good.
Xia Zhiyao was frightened when she saw the little girl, and she didn't want to have anything to do with Gu Mingcheng anymore, so she took Xiaoqiu's hand and walked back to the store.
Zhan Mu looked at Gu Mingcheng's back and pursed the corners of his mouth. This woman is really annoying!
Bei Bei saw Xia Zhiyao taking Xiaoqiu back to the store, and was not surprised: "What's the matter?" ”
Xia Zhiyao gathered the broken hair between his sideburns, "I ran into Gu Mingcheng again." ”
Bei Bei gasped and raised her voice, "Is he finished?" You don't have to give up until you die, don't you? ”
"Don't scare the kids!" Xia Zhiyao motioned to Bei Bei to lower her voice.
Not long after, Beibei's nanny aunt came over and took her home.
The little girl was very sensible, and gave Xia Zhiyao a big hug before going out. "Auntie, don't be sad. Uncle scolds you, I love you! ”
Xia Zhiyao's eyes immediately turned red, she bit her lip, smiled with satisfaction, and nodded fiercely.
After Xiaoqiu left, Bei Bei didn't have time to ask Xia Zhiyao for details.
Bei Bei was startled, "He often goes in and out of 'non-night'?" Yaoyao, you resign quickly, the farther away from him the better! "Bei Bei is afraid as long as he thinks of the harm that Xia Zhiyao suffered at the beginning.
Xia Zhiyao smiled, playing with the SpongeBob SquarePants pendant hanging on the bag, "I finally found a high-paying errand and resigned, Beibei, do you want to support me?" ”
At the mention of money, Bei Bei hung his head and became dejected, "If I have the ability, I will definitely support you!" It's a pity that she is also a poor bastard. She lay on the table with a wilting voice, sighing and sighing, "Yaoyao, what should I do, otherwise we will sell Xiao Jiu to Africa to do hard labor!" ”
"If you are willing!" Xia Zhiyao teased her.
Bei Bei puffed out her cheeks and naughtily blew the broken hair on her forehead, "Cut, if I can count the money until I am soft, what am I reluctant to do!" ”
"Oh my God, you little miser."
……
'Not the night'.
After Xia Zhiyao sang two songs in the water bar, he was taken to the top box by Sister Lan. She didn't think much about it, the guests wanted to listen to the song, and she just sang it.
When I went in, I found that I was thinking too simply, and the man with a lazy expression who was trapped on the dark red soft sofa imported from Italy was Gu Mingcheng.
He refused to let her go.
"Just sing Karen Mok's 'If You Didn't Have You'". The red glow between his fingers was visible, and the curling smoke swirled in front of his cheeks. Xia Zhiyao was stunned, he couldn't see his expression clearly, he only vaguely felt that his brows were twisted, but his voice was very good, low as a cello.
Zhan Mu smiled sweetly and handed the microphone to Xia Zhiyao. "Miss Xia, I heard that you sang Mok Wenwei's songs, which is very expressive, today, Brother Mingcheng and I are really blessed!"
Xia Zhiyao nodded lightly, the customer is God, and she can't afford to offend this God.
The prelude sounded.
Xia Zhiyao faced the huge rear projection, staring at the scenes that switched one by one without blinking. She sensed the burning gaze behind her, like pins and needles, her back straight. "Hey, I miss you so much,
Now it's raining outside the window again
……”
The delicate lyrics spilled out of her mouth, her voice trembling slightly, her hands clutching the microphone tightly.
And Gu Mingcheng's dark eyes narrowed slightly, and his gaze was fixed on her emaciated back. She is indeed a lot thinner than six years ago, wearing an off-the-shoulder dress, and the design of the waist makes her waist even more slender, making people feel as if they will break if they hold it.
Without you, without the past, I would not be sad,
But there is an if, or love you
Without you
Where am I and what a pity
It's too late anyway
Anyway, I don't have myself
Hey, I really miss you
I don't know where you are now
Are you thinking about you as much as I do?
……
When the last sentence fell, Xia Zhiyao felt her throat tighten, and those lost memories came like a tide, with a unique dampness, even a rotten taste, which made her eyes sour.
"It's so good, it's even better than the original song!" Zhan Mu clapped his hands with a smile.
"It's over, Miss Zhan." Xia Zhiyao forced the wetness in his eyes, turned around, and placed the sound cylinder on the crystal coffee table. She curled her lips, "Do you have any other requests?" If not, I'll go out first. ”
This difficult atmosphere made her breathless, and she didn't want to stay for a second.
Zhan Mu glanced at Gu Mingcheng on the sofa, his face was expressionless, holding a red wine glass in his hand, swaying shallowly. But Zhan Mu clearly saw his protruding phalanges and white fingertips. Her face sank suddenly.
Zhan Mu poured a glass of red wine and handed it to Xia Zhiyao, thinking that it was not good to excuse himself, so he stretched out his hand to pick it up......
"Ah, my skirt—" Zhan Mu exclaimed.
Xia Zhiyao was stunned and stunned, and at the moment when her fingers just touched the wine glass, the wine glass fell and smashed on Zhanmu's pure white silk skirt, which was red. She thought about it for a moment, this was obviously Zhan Mu's intention to provoke. "I'm sorry." She pursed her lips and apologized. She can't afford to provoke this kind of guest who deliberately causes trouble.
But Zhanmu didn't plan to let her go. Zhan Mu raised his eyebrows, arrogant, "I don't want you to apologize." Lose money, this skirt was given to me by Brother Mingcheng, twenty-three thousand, I wore it for the first time today! ”
A thin skirt, twenty-three thousand.
Six years ago, 20,000 yuan might have been just a drop in the bucket for Xia Zhiyao, but at this moment, she couldn't even take out 2,000 yuan. "Miss Zhan, I'll take this dress to dry clean it, and I'll definitely wash it for you."
"I don't like to wear a dirty dress, I just want you to lose money." Zhan Mu said provocatively.
Xia Zhiyao's fingers hanging by her side clenched, she pursed the corners of her lips, and cast her gaze on Gu Mingcheng. He was also looking at her, with a light smile on the corner of his mouth, looking interested. She opened her lips, but she couldn't make a sound, and her throat was dry.
Or ...... You kneel down and kowtow, this dress, I should give it to you. ”
"Miss Zhan, you have to be forgiving and forgiving."
"A ringing head for 20,000 yuan, Xia Zhiyao, it's very cost-effective!" Zhan Mu did not back down at all. Xia Zhiyao raised his eyes, and his eyes were full of pride and resentment.
Deadlocked.
There was silence in the box, and Gu Mingcheng just glanced at her coldly. Maybe his gaze was too cold, or maybe the air conditioning was turned on enough, Xia Zhiyao's back was cold, like climbing on a poisonous snake spitting letters, and his clenched palms were damp with greasy sweat. She blinked her sour eyes and hooked the corners of her lips bitterly, "A ringing head, for 20,000 yuan, is indeed a good deal." As she spoke, she looked away, lowered her eyes, and stared straight at the white velvet carpet beneath her feet.
Her legs weighed like a thousand pounds, and she endured the pain in her throat, bending her knees little by little, little by little. In her heart, she kept convincing herself that self-esteem was worthless at all, she wanted to survive, Xia Yi wanted to survive, and she had given up self-esteem six years ago. Thinking about it this way, my heart really doesn't hurt so much.
Just as her knees were about to lift her knees from the cashmere carpet, a powerful force suddenly struck her arms, and the next second she had been encircled in a familiar broad embrace.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here."
She raised her eyes, frightened, and her eyes suddenly reddened.
