Chapter Two Hundred and Eight: Means
There was a glass of water at the door, Jiang Guangguang looked towards the living room, the living room was dimly lit, and there was no one. The wine stains on the floor have been cleaned up.
She stood for a moment before picking up the water glass on the ground, and closed the door silently without looking at the next door.
Putting the cup of water aside, she went to bed. But he didn't sleep, but sat with his knees crossed in the dark. Her mind became clearer and clearer in the night, and she didn't know how long she sat until her body was almost stiff, and she lay down on the bed gently.
Bei should have come back very late, she heard the sound of the door opening and footsteps, and didn't get up to look.
Zhou Lai came back the next morning, didn't call Jiang Guangguang, and directly found the courtyard where Cheng Rongjian lived.
Hearing the knock on the door, it was Ah Bei who went to open the door, and when he saw Zhou Lai outside, he pursed his lips and stood still.
Zhou Lai's face was expressionless, he looked into the courtyard and asked, "Is Aei here?" ”
Ah Bei didn't speak, just looked at him coldly. After a while, he said lightly, "Wait a moment." ”
This is what it means not to let Zhou Lai in, Zhou Lai didn't speak, just nodded.
Jiang Guangguang got up late this morning, and she got up when she received a call from Aunt Qin earlier saying that she couldn't come over this morning.
Her hands couldn't touch the water, so she casually boiled some porridge. Probably because I didn't sleep much, the whole person was listless.
After last night's incident, she avoided Cheng Rongjian a little. Cheng Rongjian was also interested, and went to the study after a simple wash.
When Abei called her, she was listlessly stirring the porridge in the pot, and when she heard that Zhou Lai was coming, she pulled a towel and wiped her hands clean, and then went out silently.
Zhou Lai was smoking outside the courtyard, and when he saw Jiang Guangguang going out, he snuffed out the cigarette butt. After a pause, he said, "I'll come and pick you up." ”
He should have learned from Guo Shu that Jiang Guangguang was here.
Jiang Guangguang nodded, and just as he was about to speak, a low and deep voice came: "Since Officer Zhou is here, let's have breakfast and leave." ”
Jiang Guangguang turned around, Cheng Rongjian didn't know when he came out, and stood under the eaves. This is the first time the two have met since last night, and he has always been thick-skinned. I can't see half of the discomfort.
Jiang Guangguang's face was expressionless, and just as he wanted to speak, Zhou Lai, who was standing outside the courtyard, responded with a hello. He threw the cigarette butt in the trash can on the side and walked into the yard.
He has always been unwilling to see Cheng Rongjian, and Jiang Guangguang never thought that he would agree. I couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and said, "Then go sit down first." ”
Zhou Lai nodded and followed her into the house.
When he sat down in the living room, Jiang Guangguang poured him a cup of tea, and then went into the kitchen to look at the porridge that was boiling.
In the living room, Rong Jian and Zhou Lai each sat on one side, and Cheng Rong Jian's face was calm. And Ah Bei is full of wariness of Zhou Lai. stood motionless behind Cheng Rongjian.
Zhou Lai didn't mind, drinking tea with a teacup. The atmosphere in the living room was a little dreary, and no one spoke for a while.
After a while, Cheng Rongjian smiled faintly and said, "Officer Zhou is a rare guest. ”
No, he was willing to sit on the door.
Zhou Lai sneered, looked up at Cheng Rongjian, and said, "Could it be that Second Master Cheng is weak-hearted?" ”
The smile on Cheng Rongjian's face was very faint, and he said, "Officer Zhou said that I have nothing to be ashamed of." There was a slight pause. He chuckled, looked at Zhou Lai, and said, "Officer Zhou should have checked, I'm just a serious businessman." ”
Zhou Lai's hand holding the teacup tightened, and suddenly he laughed, and said, "Second Master Cheng's ability to wash white is first-class. However, if you don't know what you don't know, you can't do it yourself. This person, as long as he does something wrong, will leave clues to some extent. ”
Cheng Rongjian also took a sip of tea from the teacup and said, "Then it depends on Officer Zhou's ability." ”
Zhou Lai sneered at this time. He picked up the teacup and continued to drink the tea.
No one spoke for a while, but fortunately, Jiang Guangguang's porridge had been boiled, and he could barely eat the side dishes and fried eggs that Aunt Qin brought yesterday.
No one spoke during breakfast, Jiang Guangguang really wanted to ease the atmosphere, but she was not as smooth as Guo Shu, so she couldn't find a topic at all.
Cheng Rongjian served her vegetables from time to time, but because Zhou Lai was there, she didn't refuse, but she was so bored eating.
Before the breakfast was finished, Abei's mobile phone rang. Probably because he was wary of Zhou Lai, he didn't get up and go outside to answer it, but directly picked up the phone.
I don't know what was said on the other end of the phone, his face changed slightly, he hummed lightly, quickly stood up, and said something in Cheng Rongjian's ear.
Cheng Rongjian's face was as usual, put down the chopsticks in his hand, and said, "Officer Zhou use it slowly." ”
As he spoke, he got up and walked in the direction of the study. Abei also followed.
The door of the study was quickly closed, and Jiang Guangguang's heart was a little uneasy, her intuition told her that something should be wrong.
Zhou Lai's eyes were gloomy, and he glanced in the direction of the study, and quickly retracted his gaze.
The two left, and Jiang Guangguang and Zhou Lai still had nothing to say to each other. After a while, Zhou Lai spoke: "Ah Rong, go back to the imperial capital, there is me here." ”
His hand holding the spoon was a little stiff, and he was afraid of what happened yesterday when he thought about it now. He couldn't imagine if something had happened to her
He clearly said that he would avenge her. But after a few years, instead of keeping his promise, he put her in danger.
Jiang Guangguang was a little absent-minded, but when he heard this, he came back to his senses, shook his head gently, and said, "I'm not here, he won't come out again." ”
Yes. Cheng Jinyan's target is her, if she is not there, Cheng Jinyan will definitely not come out.
He's good at disguise, and they don't even know what he's like now, let alone look for him.
Zhou Lai's fist was clenched tightly, and it took a long time before he released his fist in frustration. He knew that Jiang Guangguang was right, she was not there, and Cheng Jinyan would not come out again.
He's already had people block the station here, but this trick is useless. This is nearby. It's not that there are no people without Guo Shu and Cheng Rongjian, Cheng Jinyan can find an opportunity to start, which can only show that he is much more cunning than they imagined.
The topic didn't continue, Jiang Guangguang looked in the direction of the study, the door of the study was still closed, and he didn't know what was going on.
She silently finished eating the porridge in the bowl, and then asked Zhou Lai: "When will you go back?" ”
Zhou Lai's body stiffened, and after dozens of seconds, he replied: "Wait until you are safe." I'll go back. ”
Jiang Guangguang remembered what Guo Shu said, and what he wanted to say, he still didn't say anything after all. Just say, "I'm fine, yesterday was just an accident." ”
She said it lightly, and when she saw that Zhou Lai had finished eating, she stood up and put away the bowl, and then said to Zhou: "Let's go." ”
Zhou Lai looked in the direction of the study and said, "I'll wait for you outside." ”
That's what it means to avoid suspicion. Before Jiang Guangguang could speak, he walked outside.
The soundproofing of the study is good, and you can't hear any sound outside. Jiang Guangguang stood for a while. He walked over and knocked softly on the door.
The door opened quickly, and Abei's face had no expression, probably thinking that she was looking for Cheng Rongjian, so he stepped aside and let her in.
Jiang Guangguang didn't go in, didn't look inside, and said, "I'll go back first." ”
Ah Bei looked at Cheng Rongjian who was standing by the window, Cheng Rongjian obviously heard her speak, but he didn't say anything, just nodded and said yes.
Jiang Guangguang didn't speak again, and left with a hum.
Ah Bei watched her back disappear at the door, and then turned sideways to look at Cheng Rongjian. Cheng Rongjian was a little tired, didn't speak, just reached out to rub his eyebrows.
Ah Bei was silent for a moment and asked, "Do you want to branch the surname Zhou?" ”
Cheng Rongjian didn't speak at this time, lit a cigarette and smoked. Zhou Lai is quite methodical, and even found someone to check his business. Probably trying to find some clues in his business. He's quite powerful, and in a short period of time, he has found out where his roots are.
Obviously he wanted to come Zhou, but he suddenly remembered that he came last night. He rubbed his eyebrows and paused slightly. said: "Let Akai bring Gou San over." ”
Ah Bei didn't know how he remembered to let Akai and Gou San, but he didn't ask anything, and responded respectfully.
Cheng Rongjian paused for a moment, and then said, "Go find a part-time worker again, and send a meal to the other side." ”
She can't get used to eating takeout, and Zhou Lai is on her side again, so she has to do it herself.
Ah Bei naturally knew his thoughts, so he nodded and said yes. He was about to turn around, but Cheng Rongjian said again: "The part-time worker is here, let her come to me to get the recipe." Anan asked him to steady, what to do, whatever he wanted, whatever he wanted. ”
Abei nodded and went out quickly.
Cheng Rongjian didn't sleep almost all night last night, and her head hurt a little. He was about to smoke a cigarette to slow down, and Abei came over again.
This time he didn't enter the study, but said at the door: "Second master, the doctor is here." ”
Cheng Rongjian has been infused for the past few days, and when he heard this, he nodded, and stood up immediately after saying a word.
The doctor had already put the medicine box aside, and when Cheng Rongjian sat down, he skillfully untied the gauze. It's just that the gauze has just been untied, and the gauze inside has a little red.
The doctor quickly dismantled all the gauze and saw that the wound had not cracked, so he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Mr. Cheng, the wound has not healed yet, and you can't use force for the time being." ”
Cheng Rongjian looked at the bloodstained gauze and nodded. He didn't know when the blood stained it. It must have been last night, when he used his strength. However, he didn't feel any pain at that time.
He was slightly distracted.
Jiang Guangguang and Zhou Lai couldn't find anything to say, and they were silent all the way. Probably because this silence was too embarrassing, she asked about Aunt Luo and Zhou Lai's father's bodies.
Zhou Lai answered them one by one, thinking of the little guy who was related to Cheng Rongjian, his heart was depressed, he wanted to ask something, but he didn't open his mouth after all.
When she returned to the yard, Jiang Guangguang felt much more comfortable, some of the grapes on the grape trellis were ripe, so she took a small basket made of bamboo strips, cut the ripeness with scissors and put it in the basket, cleaned it and let Zhou Lai eat.
The grapes are very sweet, and the little ones like to eat them very much. Last year, when the grapes were ripe, he spun under the trellis most of the time.
Jiang Guangguang didn't eat it, gave the grapes to Zhou Lai and cleaned the yard. Zhou looked at her back, in a trance, he didn't know how they got to where they are today.
At that time, she was with him, and she obviously had endless words. The scene from a long time ago came to mind little by little, so clear. It's clear, as if it's never changed.
It took a long time for him to come back to his senses. Suddenly, I don't know what came to mind, and the hand holding the basket stiffened slightly. He slowly withdrew his gaze.
The food here at noon was delivered by Ah Bei, he was still expressionless, handed the food box with the meal to Jiang Guangguang and left.
The meal was freshly prepared. It's still steaming. Jiang Guangguang was not polite, and only after putting it on the table did he let Zhou Lai sit down and eat.
Zhou Lai was a little sullen, looked at Jiang Guangguang's hand, and asked, "Does it still hurt?" ”
Jiang Guangguang didn't know why he remembered to ask her hand, so he shook his head and said that it was okay.
Zhou Lai stopped talking, and after a while, he said, "I'll make dinner." ”
Jiang Guangguang paused with his hand holding the chopsticks, but didn't say anything, nodded and said yes.
It's just that Zhou Lai still hasn't made dinner in the end. In the afternoon, I was called away by a phone call. As soon as he left, Abei came over, saying that Cheng Rongjian was still infused, and he was going out for a trip, so he asked her to come over and help watch.
Jiang Guangguang didn't think much about it, closed the door and followed him.
He didn't lie to her, Cheng Rongjian was indeed infused. Only, he was not asleep, but sitting.
Jiang Guangguang didn't say anything, and sat down by himself.
Ah Bei left quickly, the room became quiet, and after a while, Cheng Rongjian suddenly asked, "Do you want to play chess?" ”
Jiang Guangguang didn't raise his head and said nothing.
Cheng Rongjian was silent now, Jiang Guangguang originally thought that he would give up. Who knew no, he stood up and took the hanging potion bottle with his injured hand.
Jiang Guangguang caught a glimpse of his movements out of the corner of his eye, but he still stood up and said, "I'll give you whatever you want." ”
Cheng Rongjian's movements paused, and said, "It's boring to sit, I'll go get chess and play it by myself." ”
Jiang Guangguang was quite speechless, and finally asked, "Where is the chess?" ”
Cheng Rongjian settled down and said, "On the desk in the study." ”
Jiang Guangguang didn't say anything now, and went in the direction of the study. She quickly took out the chess piece and handed it to Cheng Rongjian.
Cheng Rongjian politely said thank you, and then put the shogi on his own.
Jiang Guangguang didn't care about him anymore and watched TV. Who knew that it didn't take long for Cheng Rongjian to call Ah Ei.
His voice was quite serious, Jiang Guangguang thought he was in trouble, and looked up at him.
Cheng Rongjian's handsome face was also serious, and said: "It's boring to sit, is it okay to play chess with me?" ”
His gaze stayed on Jiang Guangguang's face, Jiang Guangguang had not yet spoken, he continued: "I was not good last night, you have a lot of adults, don't be angry, okay?" ”
His tone was very gentle, and he looked very innocent.
mentioned last night, Jiang Guangguang's face suddenly became hot. She knew that Cheng Rongjian was doing it on purpose, so she couldn't help but grit her teeth. Silent and not looking at him.
But she still underestimated Cheng Rongjian's grinding skills, and every once in a while, he would call Ah Rong softly.
He did it on purpose, and the word "Agai" came out of his mouth, lingering and compassionate, as if it was about to drip water.
It makes people blush unconsciously.
Rao is Jiang Guangguang no matter how determined he is, he can't withstand such a meaty offensive. I had to warn in a low voice: "Don't scream." ”
Cheng Rongjian looked at her innocently, smiled slightly and said, "I'm bored, I have to find something to do." If you want to play chess with me, I won't scream. ”
He really didn't stop until he reached his goal, Jiang Guangguang gritted his teeth secretly, and finally sat down and played chess with him.
Cheng Rongjian's chess game is fake, but it is true that he intentionally eats tofu. From time to time, cold fingers would touch Jiang Guangguang's hand.
He was measured, and he didn't linger long, just a short moment before moving away, as if he were inadvertent.
This time, he learned to be obedient, playing chess and playing chess, without mentioning the past. The atmosphere is still harmonious in the end.
Jiang Guangguang is actually not his opponent at all, but he is very measured, and he is also very skillful in releasing water. A game of chess has been played for a long time.
Jiang Guangguang still learned chess from her grandfather, and since her grandfather's death, she has hardly touched chess. At the beginning, it was a little rusty, but in the end, I gradually regained my feeling, and after finishing a game, I didn't say no, and continued to play.
When Ah Bei came back, what he saw was the two of them quietly playing chess, Jiang Guangguang's expression was very serious, and Cheng Rongjian's handsome face was always with a little smile, and he knew that he was in a good mood without asking.
Ah Bei was originally going to go in, but then he stopped and quietly retreated. He stood under the eaves and smoked a cigarette and sighed softly.
At the end of the party, his people brought part-time workers. He took the man to the kitchen.
At this moment, Jiang Guangguang was frowning and looking at the chess on the chessboard, only glanced up, and then lowered his head to study the chess again.
Jiang Guangguang spent all his afternoon playing chess, and pulled out the needle for Cheng Rongjian halfway. It wasn't until she called for dinner that she woke up and found that it was already dark outside.
Before the chess was finished, Cheng Rongjian didn't move the chessboard, and said softly: "Play again after eating." ”
Anyway, there was nothing to do, Jiang Guangguang nodded, and the two went to the table together. The hourly worker finished cooking and left. Only Ah Bei and the two of them were left in the room.
During the meal, Cheng Rongjian served Jiang Guangguang dishes from time to time, but because Abei was there, Jiang Guangguang didn't say anything, and ate them one by one.
Such a scene is like an illusion, Cheng Rongjian is gentle from beginning to end, as if he is afraid that if he is a little louder, all this will no longer exist.
After eating, Jiang Guangguang got up and went to clean up the dishes and chopsticks. When he was waiting to come out, Cheng Rongjian didn't know where to get some watermelons and grapes and put them on the small table.
There was a slight pause in her steps. Cheng Rongjian pointed to the chessboard and said, "Continue to finish this game, call Officer Zhou later, if he doesn't come back, just sleep here." ”
Yes, Zhou Lai hasn't called since he received the call.
I stayed here last night, and Jiang Guangguang didn't shirk it, so he nodded and said yes.
Cheng Rongjian is very considerate, and he will remind Jiang Guangguang to eat fruit in the next moment. The grapes are a little sour, Jiang Guangguang prefers watermelon, and most of the time he goes to eat watermelon.
Cheng Rongjian simply pushed the watermelon to her hand to make it easier for her to take it.
The game took a little longer, and by the time it was over, it was already past nine o'clock. At this time, there was no need for Jiang Guangguang to say anything, Cheng Rongjian put away the chessboard, and said to Jiang Guangguang, "Call, if he comes back, I will ask Abei to send you back." ”
Jiang Guangguang nodded, took out his mobile phone and called Zhou Lai. But the phone was not connected, and Zhou Lai's mobile phone prompt could not be connected for the time being.
Jiang Guangguang's brows furrowed, Cheng Rongjian watched from the side, and asked quietly, "Can't you get through?" Then send him a text and tell him you're here. If you come back, ask him to call you. ”
Zhou Lai was in a hurry at that time, so Jiang Guangguang nodded and sent a text message to Zhou Lai.
When she put her phone down, Cheng Rongjian was already in the bathroom. Tell her to come and wash up.
The relationship between the two is a little delicate now, and Jiang Guangguang walked over. Cheng Rongjian went back to the room now.
When she entered the bathroom, Jiang Guangguang found that her toothbrush was squeezed with toothpaste. The towel was also taken down and set aside.
She just looked at it, and then began to wash.
It's still early, and I can't sleep. She watched TV after washing up. Cheng Rongjian poured her a glass of red wine when she came back from washing, and said, "Isn't it that you can't sleep, drink some to help you sleep." ”
Seeing the wine, Jiang Guangguang couldn't contain it and remembered last night. I couldn't help but blacken my face.
Cheng Rongjian seemed to know what she was thinking, so she laughed lowly and said seriously: "Drink, don't worry about what I will do, didn't I do anything last night?" ”
His voice was low and deep, more or less ambiguous in the silence of the space. A pair of eyes were looking at Jiang Guangguang, as if Jiang Guangguang would be weak if she didn't drink.
