When he gets someone else's alms, Baoliang will feel love, but when he gets Xia Xuan's alms, Baoliang is very sad.

After a long time, he told Liu Cunliang about his feelings, and Liu Cunliang was of course easy to think crookedly: Just because she used to be your classmate, your alumnus? Bao Liang's reaction was exactly as expected: uh...... Not exactly. Liu Cunliang immediately had a sly smile on his face: Ah-didn't you fall in love with her?

Liu Cunliang's words were abrupt, but Bao Liang was not angry, he didn't even make a rebuttal or defense, he just looked at Liu Cunliang in a daze and didn't make a sound.

Liu Cunliang's joke actually constituted a reminder to Bao Liang, just like a doctor suddenly dialysis the cause of a patient's hypochondria, so that Bao Liang rearranged those fragments and unintentional memories, from Xia Xuan's smile when he received his police uniform at the Public Security Academy, to her serious face to return the begging cardboard, why did he care so much about his image in the eyes of this girl, why did he care so much about Xia Xuan's eyes looking at him? Could it be a secret love that is hidden even without you noticing, an instinct related to love? In his recollections, he found that after he met Zhang Nan, Xia Xuan's role positioning in his subconscious had obviously undergone some kind of change, when the fire-breathing girl appeared again in the dream, that majestic face seemed to have become a symbol of protection and comfort, but the inertia of the crush may not have been eradicated, otherwise, when he saw the two hundred yuan she was sandwiched in the begging board, why was his heart like a thorn, so sad?

With Xia Xuan's two hundred yuan, he can make up another thousand integers. But the 200 yuan and Xia Xuan's parting warning in the courtyard of the police station made Baoliang decide to end the begging. Xia Xuan's charity and the kind of look that wanted to say nothing made him lose the courage to continue to practice himself.

Bao Liang made such a decision, and he came to Fei Fei's residence with more than 1,000 yuan of scattered tickets in his satchel.

Fei Fei just got up, and she was grease and powder again.

When Bao Liang took out the money and put it on Fei Fei's bed, there was a knock on the door.

Fei Fei went to open the door, and unlike what Bao Liang expected, it was not the old hill who came unexpectedly, but the reporter in his thirties.

Fei Fei asked, "Who are you looking for?" ”

Through the ajar door of the bedroom, the reporter saw Bao Liang sitting on the bed. His voice crossed over Fei Fei and came directly to Bao Liang.

"Ah, I'm sorry young man, I came with me from the police station, can I talk to you, maybe I can help you."

Bao Liang was stunned, he didn't expect the reporter to have such great ability and tenacity, and he actually followed here quietly like a paparazzi. He was angry, because he estimated that Fei Fei must be even more angry.

Fei Fei's reaction was beyond Baoliang's expectations, she not only let the reporter into the house, but also brought her into the bedroom, put on an expression that she didn't care about herself, and said to Baoliang: "Looking for you." He continued to draw his eyebrows as if nothing had happened.

Bao Liang glared angrily, got up and pushed away the reporter blocking the bedroom door, walked to the outhouse, frowned and chased away the guest: "What kind of mess are you, let's go, let's go, I have nothing to talk about." ”

The reporter always smiled patiently at Bao Liang, and was not anxious or annoyed by Bao Liang's anger, he skillfully avoided Bao Liang's edge and turned the question to Fei Fei.

"You're his girlfriend, aren't you?"

Fei Fei was stunned for a moment, blinked her half-drawn eyes, and said, "...... Yes. ”

"I'm so proud of you, your boyfriend is so good to you."

The reporter's praise satisfied Fei Fei's vanity, and once upon a time, every bit of Bao Liang's heart for her made her dream.

She chatted with reporters, and Bao Liang sat in the outhouse, hearing them coming and going, and the conversation was quite lively. Fei Fei first praised Bao Liang with the reporter, but after a few words, he resumed his sarcastic and disdainful attitude: He, don't look at him decently, in fact, he has no ability at all, he is the most cowardly. The little money he wanted...... What can I do with that money, my mother would have sawed her leg long ago if he had enough money for surgery. Bao Liang listened, his face didn't feel hot, he didn't hate Fei Fei, he was on the street, in the subway, the abuse and ridicule he heard, and the white eyes he saw, had tempered him insensitively, and his face was really thick.

He doesn't hate that annoying reporter either, it doesn't matter who he loves.

The reporter had enough of chatting with Fei Fei in the back room, and came out to talk to him again. He obviously knew about his unit from Fei Fei - Fei Fei blew him with reporters - he also worked as a policeman, and the police station let him go? Of course he was released, they all knew each other. Why don't you go to the police? The policeman made too little money, and he wouldn't be able to play the privilege of eating and taking cards, so he went to work in the hotel. He is now the foreman in charge of VIPs at the Dongfu Hotel, heads of state, the world's richest, and celebrities from all over the world. But it's not easy for him to be looked down upon on the street. That's right! The reporter echoed Fei Fei, very emotional, and felt that it was really not easy. However, the reporter repeatedly promised Bao Liang that he would never leak his name, history and work unit when he appeared in the newspaper in the future, and everything was replaced by a pseudonym. You can rest assured that it will never hurt you. Including the place where the two of you live, it will not be announced.

Bao Liang said: "This is where she lives, I don't live here. ”

The reporter was surprised: "Huh? Where does she live, you don't live together? ”

Paula learned that the newspaper had published the story at his birthday dinner. On his birthday, he was picked up by Zhang Nan after work to Fontainebleau, perhaps because Zhang Nan deliberately avoided letting her relationship with Baoliang become the center of her parents' discussion again, so she never brought Baoliang home after they got back together.

This is a birthday dinner, this is a more natural opportunity, Zhang Nan used this opportunity to make Baoliang reappear, which can be described as painstaking. In fact, Zhang Nan's parents had long known that their daughter had resumed contact with Baoliang after many days of suffering, but they didn't ask much about the details, nor did they plan their daughter's future life, so they prematurely asked about the roots. When the daughter brought the young man back into their drawing-room that evening for a sumptuous dinner, all they showed was the hospitality of their hosts and the compassion of their elders.

They asked about Bao Liang's body and work with concern, and although it was a cliché, there was no lack of sincerity in his words and expressions. In their eyes, Baoliang has also changed a lot, in the end, he has worked in a high-star hotel for a period of time, and he seems to be well-trained and polite. Between conversations, they can also follow the habits of the two old men, and some English words are included in Chinese expressions from time to time, and those English words quickly bring the relationship between the host and the guest closer, making them seem to communicate tacitly on the surface.

During the dinner, they had a wide range of topics, no inhibitions, and had a great exchange. When eating fruit after dinner, Zhang Nan's mother talked about a report in the Metropolis Morning News yesterday, about a white-collar worker in a company who went to the street to beg in order to treat his girlfriend's mother. Zhang Nan and her parents both sighed and sighed for the power of love and the filial piety of the son of man shown in this news story, and they sighed a lot, while Bao Liang drank tea on one side and did not echo.

This birthday dinner was well eaten and affectionate. Zhang Nan arranged white candles on the dining table and gave her a birthday card that she had carefully made and signed by her and her parents. Zhang Nan did not arrange this meal as a private gathering between the two, and its purpose was obviously to bring Baoliang and her parents closer. It seems that she is very successful, and the dinner is happy, at least on the surface, her parents' attitude towards Bao Liang has been greatly adjusted.

When drinking tea after dinner, Zhang Nan suggested in front of his parents that Bao Liang should not leave tonight: You just live here, there is a guest room on the first floor, and there is also a bathroom. What time do you get to work tomorrow? I can wake up half an hour early and drive with you.

Before Bao Liang could answer, he looked at Zhang Nan's parents. Zhang Nan's father said: If it's too late to go back to the city, it's better to leave tomorrow morning.

So, Bao Liang stayed.

When Zhang Nan helped him clean up the bed, he hugged Zhang Nan and he kissed her. He wanted to make further moves, but Zhang Nan shrank and hidden.

She said, "Watch out for my parents coming in. But when Bao Liang flinched, she teased him again, "Do you really like me, what do you like about me?" ”

Bao Liang said, "I like you as a person." ”

Zhang Nan said: "There are many people, what are the main aspects that you like to sleep with me?" ”

Bao Liang said, "I like it." ”

Zhang Nan said: "But if I don't sleep with you, how can you solve it?" ”

Bao Liang said: "What to solve, don't solve it." ”

Zhang Nan said: "Do you go to find other girls, or solve it yourself?" ”

Bao Liang said: "Dirty. ”

Zhang Nan smiled, changed the method and asked again: "Hmm, you like me as a person, you like to sleep with me, what else do you like about me?" ”

Bao Liang said, "It's gone." ”

Zhang Nan said: "It's really gone? ”

Bao Liang said, "It's really gone." And he said, "What do you like about me?" ”

Zhang Nan said: "I also like to sleep with you." ”

Bao Liang said: "Then why don't you go up." ”

Zhang Nan said: "Not today, I'm not ready today." He added, "My parents are at home again, and I like to do everything happily, and I don't like to sneak around, especially the first time, and I don't want to have a bad impression." ”

Bao Liang wanted to ask Zhang Nan how many men he had slept with, and how he felt a lot about it, but he couldn't help but ask. He was afraid that he would be unhappy if he asked Zhang Nan, and he was even more afraid that Zhang Nan would be bored if he asked him how many women he had had this kind of contact with. Because of Fei Fei and Xiao Liang, Bao Liang has always had some inferiority complex in front of Zhang Nan, and often feels that he is ashamed of her in this regard.

Moreover, Bao Liang originally wanted to talk to Zhang Nan about another matter today, which was a serious matter. Maybe only on the night of his birthday, when Zhang Nan was in the best mood, was it appropriate to say it. However, although Zhang Nan spent late in Baoliang's room that night, until she said goodnight and returned to her bedroom, Baoliang did not have the courage to say the matter.

In the morning, Zhang Nan came and knocked on Baoliang's door.

Zhang Nan's parents hadn't gotten up yet, so Zhang Nan and Baoliang ate breakfast cooked by the nanny alone in the restaurant. I don't know if it's because Bao Liang has the habit of skipping breakfast or because he didn't sleep well last night, he sat in front of this exquisite breakfast table, looking a little hungry.

After the meal, the two hit the road.

In the morning in the suburbs, the air is fresh and clear, the morning sun is about to burst out, and every grass and tree on both sides of the road is fresh and attractive. The mountains in the distance are calm and misty in the field of view, which makes people feel uplifted.

Zhang Nan was in a lively mood along the way, pointing along the way while driving, telling Baoliang where there is a Buddhist temple not far away, and where there is a hot spring not far away. She asked when Bao Liang would be closed on Saturday and Sunday, and that they could go to the mountains together for a few days to find peace.

On the way, Bao Liang was more dull, and the speed began to slow down after the car entered the city, and after waiting for the red light at the intersection, Bao Liang finally said what he had been thinking about all night.

"Zhang Nan, there is something...... I don't know if it's good or not, but I still want to beg you to do me one more favor...... But it's hard for me to speak. ”

Zhang Nan turned her face to look at him, just like last time, her premonition was a little bad, but it was also the same as last time, the expression on her face was silent.

"What's the matter? You say. ”

"I, I still want to borrow some more money from you, I don't know if you can lend me another money."

"A sum? How much is a sum of money? ”

“…… Fifty thousand. ”

Zhang Nan was silent, she turned her face back, facing ahead, the expression on her face was a little dazed, a little dazed.

"You...... What do you want so much money for? ”

"I ...... My dad was in the South for treatment and ran out of money. He asked someone to find me and asked me to find some money for him. ”

"In this way, the 50,000 yuan is the same as the 10,000 yuan last time, you don't borrow it from me, but ask me. Can I understand it that way? ”

“……”

"The last time you borrowed that 10,000 yuan from me, I actually knew you couldn't pay it back. You never took the initiative to tell me before and after that you planned to pay me back. Is this the case this time too? ”

Bao Liang couldn't answer, and the nervousness and embarrassment blocked not only his mouth, but also every hole in his body. Of course, he could hear that Zhang Nan's tone, although he tried to ease it as much as possible, could already reveal irrepressible excitement in his breath.

"Baoliang, whether you pay back the 10,000 yuan or not, it's not a problem. If I come up with another 50,000 yuan, it's not a problem. But I'm in love with you! I need the purest kind of love, and I don't want too much money between us......"

Zhang Nan was indeed a little excited, she was so excited that she could hardly speak. The green light at the intersection was already on, and the horns of countless cars behind them were angrily protesting. Zhang Nan started the car in a confused mood, and forgot where to go when he crossed the intersection.

Bao Liang originally thought that the last time he borrowed the 10,000 yuan, Zhang Nan was disgusted, mainly because the purpose of borrowing money was related to another girl, so this time he didn't mention Feifei, he lied and brought out his father. Borrowing money for his father's illness is morally justified. He didn't expect that Zhang Nan no longer paid attention to the use of borrowed money this time, what she was taboo about was actually borrowing money itself.

Bao Liang originally thought that Zhang Nan would carefully interrogate the use of the money, and 50,000 yuan was not a decimal number after all. He also thought that Zhang Nan would not be able to come up with this amount at once, but his estimates were all wrong. Zhang Nan's reaction was worse than any of the results he expected, which made Bao Liang deeply regret it, so that he immediately gave up any idea of fighting further, and immediately retreated without hesitation.

"If you have difficulties, forget it, even if I don't say it."

Such a retreat was not clever and clearly did not have a moderating effect. Zhang Nan's tone became more and more excited: "I have already said, it is not a question of whether it is difficult or not, but a question of what are you doing well with me?" ”

Bao Liang's face was red, he stretched out his hand to grab Zhang Nan's shoulder, he didn't know what words to use to express his remorse.

"I love you, really. I didn't say anything about borrowing money. ”

Zhang Nan's excitement was also restrained, and she didn't speak again. From then on, until Zhang Nan drove the car to the street at the back door of the Dongfu Hotel, there was no conversation between the two of them. When Bao Liang got out of the car, he said sorry again, and Zhang Nan did not respond.

For three days, Bao Liang called Zhang Nan every day, but he was transferred to the small secretary service desk. Bao Liang left a message at the service desk and told Zhang Nan that he happened to be off on Saturday and Sunday this week, and if she wanted to go wherever she wanted, he could accompany her. But after leaving a message, there was no response.

On Friday, in the evening, when he was about to get off work, Bao Liang finally received a call from Zhang Nan, who asked him to meet at the club they frequented, and she said that she wanted to talk to him.

Zhang Nan's voice on the phone was very cold, and even, a little too serious. But this unexpected call still surprised Baoliang, before this he was on the verge of despair, and he had no illusions about Zhang Nan's forgiveness.

After getting off work, Baoliang took a serious shower, and his black hair was also washed flowing and soft. He arrived at the club on time, and as soon as the guest lady of the club saw him coming, she greeted him and asked, "Are you Miss Zhang's guest, Miss Zhang has arrived, waiting for you in the room." ”

He followed the guest lady into the long aisle of the clubhouse restaurant, and outside the glass walls on both sides of the aisle, there was a water garden decorated with lights, and the light and shadow of the orderly Chinese lanterns on the aisle, which seemed to be suspicious of heaven and earth. Bao Liang had no intention of looking forward to it at this time, and he was guessing about the conversation that was about to start, not knowing whether to talk about a breakup or a reconciliation, or to exchange some opinions between them.

The private room that Zhang Nan booked was just in front, and a man in black passing by in the aisle made Bao Liang stop almost instantly. He glanced back, and the man was on the phone, talking about business as he walked to the end of the hallway. When the guest lady brought Bao Liang to the door of Zhang Nan's private room, Bao Liang suddenly snapped up, and he suddenly realized that the man he met just now was the horse boss who had not been seen for a long time!

The guest lady pressed the doorknob of the private room, and Bao Liang banged on the door before the lady could open the door completely. Zhang Nan had indeed arrived, and was sitting at the dining table with a magazine absent-mindedly, Bao Liang grabbed her arm and walked out, making Zhang Nan surprised.

"What's wrong with you, what are you doing?"

Zhang Nan was surprised to be dragged by Bao Liang to the aisle outside the door, and the entire long aisle, except for the guest lady who also looked surprised, was already empty.

"Zhang Nan, I beg you to do me a favor, I'm going to find someone right away, I need your help."

Bao Liang said as he pulled Zhang Nan and ran towards the end of the aisle, where the horse boss disappeared half a minute ago. They hurried out of the aisle and ignored the call of the receptionist behind them: "Hey, you can't come back?" ”

They caught up with Boss Ma at the door of this club, it was really Boss Ma, and Bao Liang could confirm it from his back. Boss Ma was still calling him, and the doorman of the club was calling a taxi for him, and he was opening the door of the taxi for him.

Zhang Nan's silver "Audi" was parked in a parking space not far from the door, and Baoliang pulled Zhang Nan to run to the car. Zhang Nan didn't ask anything more, she probably sensed the seriousness of the matter from the expression on Bao Liang's face and the movements of her body. She quickly started the car, chased the taxi that was already turning left at the intersection, grabbed the stop line the moment the green light turned yellow and the yellow light turned red, almost collided with the passing traffic on both sides, and forced her way through the crowded intersection.

Zhang Nan heard Bao Liang use her mobile phone to call a person named Inspector Jin on the way to track him, and realized that the person they were following was a suspect surnamed Ma. Inspector Jin asked them about their neighborhoods and told them to keep abreast and take cover. He also asked Zhang Nan, and Baoliang told him that he was sitting in his girlfriend's car. Inspector Kim told them to be calm, they would come right away, they just had to follow the whereabouts, and there was no need to take any other action.

The rush hour on the street has passed, and the taxis in front of you are driving slowly, so it's not too difficult to keep an eye on them. Especially when the taxi drove into a familiar side street, Bao Liang immediately relieved his heart, because he found that this street was the former residence of Xiao Liang, and there was a chance that it was the end of Boss Ma's trip.

The taxi really stopped in front of the building where the little guy lived, and Boss Ma got out of the car and walked into the building. Bao Liang asked Zhang Nan to park the car on a sidewalk not far from the building, turn off the lights, and wait for the police to arrive.

The street is quiet and quiet, with few vehicles and few pedestrians.

The car is also very quiet, so quiet that any small squirt on the clothes can stir sensitive nerves.

Bao Liang's heart could not be quiet in the sudden silence, and he tried to use relaxed language to dilute the awkwardness and estrangement that actually existed between the two.

"If you don't answer my phone for a week, I'm dying. I thought you really ignored me. ”

Zhang Nan also opened her mouth, she hesitated for a moment before responding to Bao Liang's temptation, her speed and tone of voice did not reach the heat that Bao Liang expected, and her answer was actually slowly drawing a round question mark.

"Baoliang, do you know, the little nanny that our family hired before is very clean, she doesn't need to speak, just look at her eyes, and you know how innocent she is. When she came to my house, all she had was a small bag with her. In that small bag, there were only two changes of clothes, but it contained a thick old book, which was Gorky's "My University". Even my father, a professor who had read all his life, was in awe of the girl. Four months later, the girl was gone, and she met a wealthy construction foreman, whom she went to work as a second wife. Therefore, many people have told me that the younger people are, the more complex their hearts are, and the more realistic their ideas are. People in their twenties rarely value spiritual happiness and do not need to look for a spiritual home, only the interests of reality will make them truly excited and let them pursue it with all their might, because the social reality has trained and nurtured them, which is difficult to change and cannot be defeated. ”

Zhang Nan's words made Bao Liang also silent for a moment, and he said, "You mean, I'm also such a person?" ”

Zhang Nan still avoided a positive response, and she continued to express herself unfinished.

"Many people have told me that when you see a simple face, a clear look, a sunny smile, you must not think that these things that seem so real must be real. You must not start a romantic reverie based on this, because all this may be just a façade, and the selfishness and scheming behind this appearance are far dirtier than we think. ”

Bao Liang interrupted Zhang Nan, who had to become angry because he felt humiliated: "You asked me out today to tell me this?" If you really see me like that, then you let me get out of the car and you can go too, thank you for helping me today. ”

Bao Liang opened the car door, but Zhang Nan stopped him again. From the back seat of the car, she carried a hand-held leather bag, which could be seen from her vigorous movements, which contained heavy objects. She put the purse on Bao Liang's lap and said:

"Take this."

Bao Liang's legs, weighed down by the weight of the purse, asked, "What is this?" ”

Zhang Nan didn't look at Bao Liang, and said to himself: "That's what you want." ”

Bao Liang was stunned for a moment: "Money?" I don't want it. ”

Zhang Nan said: "Take it, if your father really needs it." ”

Bao Liang was at a loss, and the quarrel had just begun, and the ending came abruptly. This unexpected ending made Baoliang's anger instantly turn into consternation, and he didn't know how to say anything in the face of this scene.

Fortunately, Zhang Nan quickly continued, and did not let Baoliang's embarrassment continue indefinitely: "I said that it is not a problem for me to take out 50,000 yuan, my problem is that I don't know what method can be used to prove that I did get a real lover." ”

Bao Liang lowered his eyes, he didn't dare to look at Zhang Nan, nor did he dare to open the zipper of the leather bag to see the gorgeous cash inside. He didn't know how many people saw money as the truest thing.

Zhang Nan's gaze shifted to Bao Liang's face, her forced gaze was sharp, she could no longer hide her excitement, and that excitement turned her forced questioning into a trial**.

"Baoliang, I want to ask you one last time, and I want you to answer one last time. This last time, I have only one request, and that is to be honest. ”

Bao Liang was forced by this sentence and had to raise his head and meet Zhang Nan's direct gaze tremblingly.

"Baoliang, let me ask you, you said before that you never loved anyone before you fell in love with me, right?"

Bao Liang said, "Yes. ”

"The girl who called me before, Feifei, didn't you love it either?"

"She was very nice to me, and my affection for her was like that of a brother and sister. Between us, it's not love. ”

"Do you still have this kind of brother-sister or sister-brother relationship with anyone?"

"No, except for my biological sister."

"Hora, can you swear you're an honest person?"

"I swear, I'm honest, at least in love."

At this point, the question and answer stopped, and they looked at each other. Zhang Nan suddenly stretched out her arms and hooked Bao Liang's shoulders and neck, and she whispered in his ear: "I'm sorry Bao Liang, I'm a multi-hearted woman, I don't need you to have money and career, I just need you to be honest, I just need you to have no other scheming about love." Can you, Baoliang? ”

Bao Liang was also excited, and even, he was deeply moved by this. Although his answer was light, it used all the strength of his body.

"Yes!"

"Do you promise you can?"

"I promise I can!"

Someone was banging on the glass of the car, and they looked up in fright and saw a young woman standing outside the window. Bao Liang let go of Zhang Nan and opened the car door, and Zhang Nan also got out of the car from the other side. She peered through the roof of the car to see the young woman scream softly, low as a whisper.

"Baoliang."

"Xia Xuan."

Bao Liang responded in the same low voice.

At the same time, Zhang Nan saw that in the distance behind the woman, there were two cars parked, and there were several men in civilian clothes standing in front of the cars, all silent at night.

Zhang Nan had probably never experienced this kind of scene, and he didn't know whether he was excited or frightened. She didn't know what was going to happen next, and she didn't know that the boss Ma who was attacked by the police was actually just a related witness, not a dangerous suspect.

She saw the plainclothes and Bao Liang whispering, presumably asking about the situation, and their conversation was very brief, and then they walked into the door together. Zhang Nan was standing downstairs alone, and soon saw several plainclothes men walking out of the building with Boss Ma and getting into the car driven by the police. She noticed that Boss Ma's hands were not handcuffed, and the police did not seem to have taken any coercion against him, so they got into the car calmly, and the car drove away peacefully.

One car is gone, and the other is still parked on the side of the road. There were still a few plainclothes who didn't come out, and Bao Liang didn't come out either. Zhang Nan hesitated for a moment and walked into the door. She climbed up the stairs, which were dark, and there was no movement except for the sound of television and running water coming from the individual portals. When she reached the second floor, she saw a room with a door open, and lights and voices peeking out of the cracks. She could tell that it was the policewoman talking to Bao Liang, asking him to identify something, asking about some past......

Zhang Nan pushed the door in and saw two plainclothes people searching the apartment, and the policewoman was in a walk-in closet with Baoliang, inspecting the clothes inside. Zhang Nan wanted to go in and call Bao Liang, and wanted to ask him about when this matter would end. She stopped abruptly as she walked through the bedroom, and was astonished to see that the wall of what was apparently a woman's bedroom was lined with photographs, most of them of a young woman, showing her delicate posture scratching her head. There are also several group photos of more than two people, with a background like a song hall or a nightclub, and the protagonist of those group photos is a young man in addition to the woman, who is always embraced by the woman in front of the camera. Surrounded by a group of men and women, the boy was held by the woman, kissed by the woman, toasted and laughed with the woman, and other ugly ...... The most striking thing in the photo is an earring on the boy's left ear, and a diamond on the earring shines brightly in the flashlight!
