Half an hour after the gym work, Chiba was already tired and sweaty. Today's air conditioner also seems to be not working well, and the room temperature is about two or three degrees higher than usual.

She stood under the tuyere, and thought of Song Yingchen after a while. He hadn't been here in days, whether it was two days or three days, she couldn't remember.

When she closed the door, she felt that her bones were falling apart, and she wished she could go back to take a shower and lie down immediately.

As soon as he got out of the gym, a familiar figure stood under the street lamp, and when he looked at it, it was Song Yingchen who flashed through his mind just now.

She's a little excited.

"Are you here today, why didn't I see you?" She asked, and at the same time found that Song Yingchen's eyebrows were lowered, and she was not as happy as usual.

"It's you." Song Yingchen said lazily.

"You and others?" Chiba was a little embarrassed, realizing that the other party didn't care about her existence at all.

"Oh, I just happened to be passing through here." Song Yingchen looked around lonely, and asked casually, "How are you doing?" ”

"I went to work, during the day, as a secretary."

"Really, that's good."

"Why are you down, it's okay?"

Song Yingchen shook his head and looked to the other side.

She shrugged her shoulders and said knowingly, "Then I'll go first, it's not too early, you can go back quickly." ”

"Wait." Song Yingchen suddenly stopped her, hesitated for a moment and asked, "Can you have something to drink with me?" ”

"What time do you drink at what time, drink less water at night, and it will be swollen the next day."

"I want to drink."

"Wine?" She circled around Song Yingchen and found that his whole body was wilted, "You forgot last time?" ”

"Just drink a little, you won't get drunk."

"But I'm still at work tomorrow, I just went to the company, and it's not good to be late."

"Just for a moment." Song Yingchen almost begged in a coquettish tone, and at the same time, the elk-like eyes also shone in the night, emitting a hidden mysterious power.

Of course, she couldn't stand the magic and gritted her teeth in response.

"Okay, just for a while, but I don't drink it."

"Let's go, just stay with me."

Feeling Song Yingchen put his hand on his shoulder, Chiba's whole person suddenly stiffened like an electric shock, and his mind was blank. She felt her legs involuntarily move forward, but the nerves in her brain didn't signal any action at all.

Soon, the two turned right on the street corner.

Song Yingchen didn't plan to go to the bizarre occasion, but just chose a random 24-hour convenience store with a few tables and chairs for customers who bought hot milk tea, coffee or instant noodles.

He asked for a bottle of Chivas Regal, Chiba asked for instant noodles, and sat down facing each other.

Chiba looked at him from time to time while eating noodles, but his gaze always fell weakly to the ground.

"Hey, what's the fuss."

"You haven't eaten yet?" He asked, his mouth pursed to show that the whole person was in a slump.

"Well, I'm in a hurry to get to the gym after work, so I don't have time."

He didn't seem to be listening to Chiba carefully, just fiddling with the cap in boredom. "I'm busy, I'm a big idler." Then he took a sip of wine with a pretended to be sophisticated. Chivas Regal, unblended and unfrozen, was so stinging that he couldn't help but lock his features tightly.

"Surely there is something unhappy about you, aren't you going to talk about it?"

"Why do you say people grow up, and why do they have so many troubles when they grow up? If I could, I really didn't want to grow up, I would rather be a child from a poor family with nothing, three meals of gruel and pickles a day, as long as I was happy. ”

Song Yingchen held his face with one hand, and his slender fingers touched above his temples.

However, while admiring this beautiful scenery, Chiba was also laughed at by such literary words, and the instant noodles in his mouth almost squirted out. She believed that his lines and words must have come from the heart, but they seemed comical because he knew little about reality.

"If you want to know how I grew up, you know how to write the word trouble." She thought to herself.

Indeed, in her eyes, Song Yingchen's family is well-off, her education is good, and her own conditions are also first-class and excellent. Everyone has troubles, but a child like him really can't think of any worries that need to be poured with wine.

She suddenly remembered what Steven had taught her during the day, and changed it slightly, saying, "There are two kinds of troubles, one is caused by the outside world and the other is caused by oneself. The only thing you can do to adapt and face the troubles caused by the outside world is to solve them bravely. If you don't make the same mistake twice, then the same troubles won't come again. ”

"Go on." Song Yingchen became interested in her words.

"A lot of times I feel annoyed because there may be a deviation in that standard in my mind. For example, I love rainy days, but when I was a kid, I was so annoyed. The reason why it has changed now is that I am slowly learning to discover the good things on rainy days, such as the smell of earth, the leaves that are clean after being washed by the rain, and the grass that suddenly pops up in the ground...... When I stop seeing it as a problem, it's not a problem. So, don't equate your troubles with growing up or something, everyone has to grow up, whether you want it or not, it's a fact. Learn to look at the world from different angles, and the world will take on different shapes. ”

As she spoke, she buried her head and ate her noodles, looking a little proud. "Oh, it's really open today, and you can actually say such philosophical words." In fact, her tone is more literary than Song Yingchen.

Song Yingchen nodded thoughtfully. "Sounds good, but......"

"I'm tired for a day, don't torture me with foreign texts anymore, I have to go through it in my head."

"I'm sorry."

"What is it that makes you so depressed, let's hear it, maybe I can help you?"

After a moment of silence, Song Yingchen said in a low voice, "My mother." ”

Chiba chuckled in her heart, and the plastic fork almost fell out of her hand.

When she mentions Lu Meiqin, the first thing that comes to her mind is chocolate, because the three of them are tied together. It is precisely because of this relationship that every time I get along with Song Yingchen, I can't be 100% sincere, so I have to be vigilant.

Of course, vigilance is not a defense, but a deep fear of saying something wrong and passing on something negative to him.

Holding back the panic in her heart, she asked with concern, "Aunt Lu...... What's wrong? ”

"She has changed a lot when she comes back this time, she is always mysterious, and sometimes she doesn't come home all night. wanted to care more about her, but she always diverted the topic and asked questions. ”

"Are you too sensitive? Doing business is definitely busier than ordinary people, she is a woman, she pursues perfection in many things, so she is naturally busy in the dark and doesn't have much time to spend with you. ”

"I know that. She separated from my dad early, and she brought me up and had to juggle my career, so I definitely couldn't be at home all the time like an ordinary housewife. But because she's a woman, I'm worried. ”

"It's okay during the day, but at night, it's dangerous for a woman to be alone."

"I'm not talking about that." Song Yingchen looked at her with a little hesitation.

"What's that?"

There was still three-quarters of the wine left in the bottle, Song Yingchen raised his head and drank most of it, and a strong and stimulating heat flow instantly penetrated his stomach.

"I think she's hiding something from me, the serious kind."

Chiba's heart trembled again, and she even suspected that Song Yingchen had sensed that Lu Meiqin was dealing with a mysterious person, and that person's code name was Chocolate.

"I don't know, so I'm not qualified to talk about your family affairs, but I can tell you for sure that your mother loves you very much, and no matter what she does, she is headed by you, and you should trust her."

"Some things can be done, and some things can't. I haven't caught any conclusive evidence now, and I'm conflicted, and I want to prove my guess, but I'm afraid that the result will be as expected. If that's true, I don't know what to do. ”

"What you call that...... Is it that serious? She unconsciously said the word "serious" very seriously.

Song Yingchen nodded, drank the rest of the wine, and suddenly the phone rang and picked it up.

"Hey...... At...... What are you waiting for so long...... Come here, the gym intersection is waiting for you. ”

Putting away the phone, he stood up.

"I'm sorry, I can only talk another day, my friend is coming to pick me up, let's go."

Chiba threw the wine bottle and instant noodle box into the trash, and the two left the convenience store.

The neon-lit streets exude a hazy and lazy atmosphere, with cars passing by from time to time and few pedestrians. Recently, there have been several disappearances, and most citizens have chosen to stay at home, except for some people who are used to nightlife.

"I'll wait for him right here." Song Yingchen stood at the intersection and looked at the street signs.

"Then I'll go first, you're not drunk, are you?"

"Not drunk. Wait, I'll ask my friend to send you. ”

"No, it's so close, just go through Ten Mile Alley."

The position where the two stood was the street where the road was closed for municipal renovation, and it was also the place where the blackback was chased.

As soon as the words fell, a deafening roar was heard in the distance, and a sports car flashed bright lights towards the two.

Chiba subconsciously covered his eyes.

"Here, let's go, I'll send you first." Song Yingchen said and walked off the road and waved at the sports car.

"No, be careful yourself." Chiba didn't want to meet strangers, so she turned around and walked towards Ten Mile Alley.

"Then send me a message when you get home!" Song Yingchen shouted.

She made an ok gesture and walked away without looking back.

The sports car stopped with the sound of sharp brakes, and Song Yingchen walked to the co-pilot and opened the door and got into the car.

"The whole Lucheng heard that He Ye was on patrol, can you keep a low profile?" He said to He Chong angrily.

"The master is not on patrol, he is released after completing his sentence." He Chong shook his head and shook his head very excitedly, "It's a day to celebrate all over the world." ”

During this time, He Zhanting treated him coldly and cut off the economy, and the ban was not lifted until just now, so naturally he couldn't hold it back, and ran out as soon as possible.

"That's life." He poked his head out to look at the bustling neon in the distance, "Who was that girl just now, and how did she leave?" ”

"What's not a girl, my friend, it's a good girl."

"How's it good?" He Chong smiled evilly, "Okay, you kid, how long has it been since you came back?" ”

"It's all said that it's an ordinary friend, what nonsense. Send me back. ”

"Go back! What an international joke. Master, I will personally drive to pick you up, how can I let you go back if I don't accompany me until the second half of the night. ”

"Didn't you say you wanted to see me, and now that you do, I should go back."

Song Yingchen was in a slump all night, and even He Chong could see it.

"Tsk, don't spoil the fun, for the sake of me being locked up for so long, have a good time with me."

"Living in a villa and not having to go to work, eating and drinking spicy food every day, what kind of confinement is it."

"Don't mention it, I've been suffocated all this time, and I can't go anywhere, so I can only stay in the house. He said that he had arranged for someone to come over to cook and do laundry, but in fact, he was sent to monitor me. I don't know what's wrong with my dad, he didn't get angry so easily before, but this time he didn't spare me for so long. ”

"Be content, if only your father would have strangled you to death."

"Damn, don't take advantage of me." He Chong smashed Song Yingchen's arm with his fist, "I'm like a girl today, I'm just about to bring pear blossoms to the rain, tell my brother what the situation is?" ”

Song Yingchen turned around and was about to open his mouth, but He Chong stopped again.

"Forget it, don't listen to it, don't spoil me with your troubles. Go, drink and go, and only talk about happy things! ”

As soon as he stepped on the accelerator, the sports car shot out like an arrow.
