Chapter 33: The Past Is Settled
Although the days of class are not as busy as military training, the school still arranges the students' schedules to the fullest. Tight time always flies quickly, Gu Cheng went to the convenience store after eating in the school cafeteria on Saturday morning, and brought breakfast to Qu Han when he left.
"Morning!" Gu Cheng pushed open the door and saw that Qu Han had already cleaned up.
"Morning! I've got something for you! โ
"So, I brought you breakfast, from the police canteen, have you eaten it? It's a little cold, you can heat it up! Gu Cheng handed her breakfast.
Qu Han was a little confused, "Oh...... Thanks, how much? I'll give it to you! โ
"It's okay, it's not much!"
"That's for you too!" As he spoke, he took out his wallet.
"Two buns and one soy milk cost two yuan, and it's not as expensive as your bread! If you have to give it to me, I will bring it to you in the morning, and you can save together to pay me a salary~! โ
โ....... Wouldn't that be too much of a hassle for you! She stopped taking the money.
"Don't bother, or I'll go to dinner too, by the way!"
"Good!"
Bite~
Gu Cheng took the breakfast out of the microwave and handed it to her, "By the way, I don't have to go back tonight for roll call, it's okay if you come back late!" โ
"Okay! Thanks! I'm going to be there early on my first day today, so I'll go first. โ
"Bye-bye."
Qu Han got on the bus with few people, sat in the last row, and ate the breakfast that Gucheng brought her, her heart was warm.
After Qu Han came back from work and finished his work with Gucheng, Gu Chengcheng took the bus to the city, poured three buses, took a taxi again, and arrived at the destination mentioned by Zhou Wei on WeChat when it was almost dark.
The destination is a villa, which is in Zhou Wei's name, and there is a villa area nearby, but there are no cameras, and there are trees all around.
Gu Cheng didn't let the driver drive over, but stopped in the distance, walked two uphills, and arrived at the address she gave.
As soon as Gu Cheng rang the doorbell, the door opened automatically, although there were only a few small lights in the empty yard, but it was clearly illuminated by the indoor lights, and not far from him, Zhou Wei was standing in a red suspender dress, with her hands crossed on her chest, and Zhou Wei who saw her in the convenience store that day was not in the same style at all, at this moment she was standing in front of a modern-style villa, not like a college student at all.
"Why has it been so long? It's getting dark! โโSell ~ Cheng ~. โ
Gu Cheng changed his usual gentle tone and said coldly: "I want to support myself." โ
Zhou Wei smiled bitterly, and said in a weird manner: "Feed yourself? Are you blaming me for what you're saying? โ
Gu Cheng didn't answer her, opened the door and walked in.
After entering, Gu Cheng looked at the living room that was more than ten times larger than his bedroom, and said, "This is what you worked so hard for?" โ
"It's hard to talk about it, I've got a lot, this is just the tip of the iceberg!" After speaking, he sat down on the sofa, picked up the goblet on the coffee table and took a sip.
Gu Cheng sat down on the chair opposite her and said, "Then you can be regarded as getting what you want, and it is not in vain that you worked hard back then!" โ
Zhou Wei suddenly laughed, laughing until her voice was a little hoarse, "Scheming? Get what you want? It's so funny! Zhou Wei drank all the wine in the cup, "If I had to choose again, I would never do it!" As he spoke, he fell into a memory.

Six years ago, the orphanage.
"Hey! I was just outside the dean's office when I heard a couple coming this weekend talking about adopting a child! โ
"Really? Are you sure? Do they say boys or girls? โ
"It seems that I want a girl, older, twelve or thirteen years old."
"Big? Didn't you all have to be young when you came before? โ
"Who knows! This time I have a chance! โ
The children were discussing when a little girl suddenly stood up and said, "What chance do you have?" Nothing, what do you want to do? With that, he took the plate and left.
"Who does she think she Qi Yue is? Or is it the eldest lady? โ
"Don't say it, don't say it, she should hear it!"
"If you hear it, you hear it! That's for her. โ
Qi Yue did hear it, so she stood in the corner, thinking that she must leave this ghost place as soon as possible.
At night, when they went to bed, the children lay in bed and prayed, hoping that the people who came would take them away and have a home for themselves.
At that time, Zhou Wei was not called Zhou Wei, she was called Gu Ying, and she came with Gu Cheng with the name that Gu Cheng gave her. Although she is not a brother or sister, she has always taken care of her before entering the orphanage. At that time, she never thought about being adopted by anyone, but the children around her always talked about what would happen after being adopted, and she was moved for a while.
And Qi Yue came to the orphanage last year, and Gu Ying came at the end of a year, she used to be very rich in the family, the eldest lady, and then the family had an accident, she was sent here, came for more than a year, and still did not get rid of her princess disease, so the children in the courtyard did not like her very much.
In the past few days, the children in the orphanage are preparing for a talent show, the clothes to be worn that day, and some children deliberately eat very little when they eat, just to look thinner, so that the people who come to adopt feel that they have not eaten much at all, and they are easy to feed.
On the weekend, the dean led the children to meet them at the gate of the hospital, and after a while, a BMW came, and when the children saw that they were coming by car, they thought they were very rich.
A couple got out of the car, the woman was very charming, but very beautiful and had a good figure, while the man, on the contrary, was fat and carried a briefcase. After getting off the bus, Lao Yuan greeted the dean, gave the dean a thick envelope, said that it was a sponsorship fee for the hospital, and then greeted the children cordially.
Because most of the children came here at a very young age, they didn't have any talent except painting, so they could only sing with everyone, Gu Ying went to the dean's office several times, and then begged her to arrange herself in the position of the lead singer.
At this time, Qi Yue walked alone to the front of the electronic piano and played a song, and after playing, the couple walked up to her and asked, "What's your name?" โ
"Hello uncle and aunt, my name is Qi Yue."
Gu Ying saw everything in his eyes and went to the cafeteria with everyone.
During the meal, Gu Cheng sat next to her and asked, "You want to be adopted so much!" โ
"Sort of!"
"Aren't you afraid? I don't think that person is like a good person. After being adopted, we will be separated, never to see each other again, and I will not be able to continue to protect you! โ
"I'm not afraid! I just want to have a home! Normal home! โ
After dinner, Gu Cheng didn't go to take a nap, but quietly went to the dean's office, but overheard the news that the couple had decided to adopt Qi Yue.
When the couple left in the afternoon, all the children were guessing who it would be, but Gu Cheng quietly told Gu Ying the result, and Gu Ying was unusually calm.
And early the next morning, on the fork of the tree at the back of the main building of the orphanage, Qi Yue's body was inserted.
On the day Gu Ying was taken away, all the children were lying on the window, watching her leave. Gu Cheng also stood in front of the window and watched, Gu Ying glanced back, and at that moment it happened to meet his cold eyes, Gu Ying showed a bright smile when he saw this, which was exceptionally beautiful against the background of the sun, but in Gu Cheng's opinion, it was so terrifying.
โฆโฆ
Gu Cheng looked at her regretful look, and didn't know what happened to her, so she hated the life of working so hard to get her hands,
"Why do you wear a red dress now, didn't you hate red the most before?"
Zhou Wei filled the glass with wine again, picked up the wine glass, shook it in her hand, and put it on the sofa, "What is like?" What is not to like? My adoptive father likes to see me wear, so I have to be liked! โ
"Your adoptive father? Your adoptive father ...... you Isn't it good? โ
"He! He's kind to me, and he'll give me whatever I want, but he said, as long as I listen to him, you know? Listen to him! I'm obedient! โ
Zhou Wei looked at the wine in the glass that was shaken by herself, and said in an indifferent tone: "You know what? I wasn't the first child they adopted, there were two before me, both younger than me, but they both died, and you know how they died?
My adoptive father is a pedophile, not ridiculous, pedophile! Perverted you know what? He was afraid that he would die if he adopted the younger one again, so he chose me, ridiculous! โ
Zhou Wei suddenly changed her tone and shouted loudly:
"But all this shouldn't have been borne by me in the first place~!"
Shake off the glass of red wine in your hand, and after a crisp sound, everything fell silent.
Gu Cheng silently closed his eyes and clenched his fists, he had fantasized more than once about Gu Ying's life in a new home, his adoptive father and adoptive mother would be very good to her, there would be hot meals in front of him when he got up in the morning, someone would send him to school, someone would pick him up after school, he could eat a real birthday cake on his birthday, and raise a puppy like SEVEN,
But all this was shattered with this crisp voice, he couldn't imagine what kind of life this sister who had vowed to protect her all her life, and he didn't dare to imagine what kind of life she had lived all these years.
Selling Cheng gritted his teeth and asked, "What about others?" โ
"What? Do you want to find him and protect me like I did when I was a child? โ
"Where's the others?" Gu Cheng got up and shouted loudly.
Zhou Wei picked up the wine bottle on the table and took a sip directly to the bottle, "It's dead!" โ
When Gu Cheng heard this understatement, her expression was exactly the same as when she got in the car, Gu Cheng looked at her in disbelief, but she asked: "Uncle policeman, do you want to arrest me?" โ
โโฆ...โ
"Don't worry! It wasn't me who killed him, it was his wife who killed him, and just last year, I happened to be an adult, so I was the only heir. Now I'm rich, how's that? Do you want to continue to be my 'brother'? โ
"You...... How did you become so scary? You've always been kind in that environment! โ
"Kindness? ...... Is it scary? What could be more terrible than anything I've ever seen? Want to hear it? ...... Oh, by the way, don't you have a little henchman? Why is his family so rich, and you still have to work? โ
"You investigate me?"
"What a survey! Such a cute child, he is not yet an adult this year! What is it called? ...... Wen Ze: Right? โ
"Let me tell you, he is my 'brother', you stay away from him."
"Stay away from him? I'm a powerless schoolgirl, he's so powerful, what can I do? Besides, he's your 'brother', and I'm still your 'sister', have you forgotten? โ
"I'm here for your good...... Forget all about the past! Let's get started with a good life! Don't bother each other, let's treat it as if you don't know each other! โ
When he finished speaking, he was about to leave, but when he saw the red wine and broken glass on the ground, he said, "Be careful, don't step on it!" โ
Looking at his back, Zhou Wei raised her voice and said, "You came today, in fact, you just want to say this!" All right! Don't bother each other! But I'm not as affectionate as you, and I'll just ask you one thing - 'Are you now...... Need me? โโ
โ...... No, you don't! โ
