"I know you don't trust anyone in your heart, but what about me, you really don't even believe me?"

Lin Ran trembled slightly.

I don't believe you enough, Second Uncle, she thought quietly, it's just that you don't believe in it.

In the silent room, only the sound of two people breathing in silence was left for each other.

After I don't know how long, Mo Zhi sighed, let go of Lin Ran, turned out cotton swabs and gauze from the room, and cleaned up the faint blood beads on Lin Ran's neck.

Then Lin Ran, who had been lying still obediently, finally gave him a punch as he wished.

She dared to do this to her natural enemy purely out of anger, and immediately came back to her senses after the fight, and froze in place.

The first thought: I actually beat the second uncle? This must be the highlight of my life!

Second thought: My life is over.

Mo Zhi didn't dodge or dodge, and took her punch hard, Lin Ran didn't have any strength at all, and then he wiped the blood foam from the corner of his mouth, and smiled a little reluctantly: "Good fight, do you want to do it again?" ”

Lin Ran finally took a step away from his gaze and lay down on his back without saying a word.

Mo Zhi raised his hand and gently helped her tuck the quilt: "Good night, little girl." ”

The bedside lamp was still on, and although the light was dim, Lin Ran suddenly felt unwell, she took a deep breath and slowed down the rate of her breathing, hoping that she could dream-

Dreaming of a time when there was a time when no one had ever experienced death.

When Lin Ran woke up in the morning light, a thin layer of sweat appeared on her body.

She felt that she had a tiring dream, but she didn't know what she dreamed of, and when she turned her head, she saw Mo Zhi sleeping next to her. After this man fell asleep, he was actually extremely quiet, as if he was no different from when he was awake, and he would never be careless, and even after sleeping all night, even the quilt would not be messy, as if he was still maintaining the position he had just laid down.

Lin Ran sat up lightly, the wound was still a little painful under the movement, he held the quilt for a while, and looked down at Mo Zhi again—he also noticed that the corner of his mouth was cracked, and there was a bruise on his chin that was getting worse.

Her punch used up all her strength, Mo Zhi is not a steel and iron bone, and it is natural to leave this mark.

Lin Ran was stunned for a long time, finally sighed, carefully stretched out his fingers, and gently stroked the bruises that were beaten by himself, thinking to himself, last night was really not awake enough, and he was excited, so he started hard.

She didn't want to disturb Mo Zhi, and planned to endure the pain and cross him to wash her face, but when she just moved, she was grabbed by her wrist.

Mo Zhi's fingers burst out with amazing power in an instant, pinching Lin Ran's hand that he hadn't had time to withdraw, and then his eyes were half-open, and after a while, he suddenly realized something, let go of Lin Ran, and said in a low voice: "I'm sorry." ”

Last night, the bloodthirsty factor that he tried to hide in his bones was aroused, so he exposed his inner life to Lin Ran.

Lin Ran glanced at him, then rummaged through the bedside table, turning out the medicine and gauze for him.

The man took it, lowered his eyes, and showed a somewhat bitter smile: "It was my fault last night, and you ...... now Can you talk to me about it? ”

Enduring the pain of the wound being torn, Lin Ran opened the curtains, leaned against the window, and looked at the scenery outside: "Second uncle, you say." ”

"You come home with me today, I don't think this matter is simple, Fang Shanshan doesn't look like she knows anything, and the one who stabbed you is probably a chess piece." Mo Zhi carefully observed Lin Ran's expression, carefully picked such a topic, and directly skipped the unpleasant part of last night.

When Lin Ran gently touched the wound on the corner of his mouth, he woke up, and immediately understood Lin Ran's vacillation, Mo Zhi knew that this opportunity must be seized.

As long as there is a gap, a gap opportunity, he will immediately grasp it, so that he can get what he wants. I read books

Mo Zhi is a natural opportunist.

Lin Ran was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect Mo Zhi to jump directly to this question, and asked with some confusion for a long time: "Ah? ”

This topic seems to be jumping a little too fast, right?

Lin Ran now has an extremely deep understanding of the fact that Mo Zhi is a man...... It really can't be speculated with common sense.

"I need you to help me pay attention to the situation on the Bu family's side, and you have been careful recently, this time is not just a warning, it is more like a demonstration, although I don't know why he did this, but it is obvious that he is coming for you."

"What?" Lin Ran's eyebrows furrowed, "Do you mean to do these things...... It's all because of me? ”

The cool morning breeze blew in through the window with a small slit open, and swept it on her face, Lin Ran was stunned for a moment: "Is it related to Bu Changping, who was Ji Xin's boyfriend before, and asked about my news?" ”

Mo Zhi didn't deny it, just used a cotton swab dipped in the potion to gently apply it to the bruises on the corners of his mouth, and said unhurriedly: "Everything has its own purpose, and as long as this thing is done, any purpose is possible." I thought that these subordinates under my command would always be able to deal with this. As a result, I only found out now that they really can only be said to be ignorant of the sinister. Seriously, I hope that the next time I'm not in this position, they'll put me at ease for a little longer. ”

The last sentence obviously succeeded in shaking Lin Ran.

Mo Zhi smiled: "It's nothing, no one can sit in the same position until death, at the beginning, I actually thought, while I was young, I could save a sum of money that the old man could boast of, so I would retire directly and do other things." Because I always think that time has passed, the vicissitudes of life, and people's lives are so short, I always have to do something I like, and I always have to live for myself. ”

Lin Ran was silent for a long time before asking, "Then ...... you Then why do you have to ......?"

"Why do you want to go down this path?" Mo Zhi shook his head, "Because I later found out that I was an unrealistic idealist. I used to be carried away by some ethereal things, and I felt that I was so powerful that I could ignore anything. But...... Maybe I shouldn't have said that when I saw with my own eyes that someone I knew was framed and almost went to jail, but I actually really resented myself. ”

Lin Ran looked at Mo Zhi in a daze, she remembered that Mo Zhi had always been a person who refused to show his soft inside, but now, he leaned against the head of the bed in a lazy and casual posture, and even held a ridiculous cotton swab in his hand, frowning a little painfully, but at the same time lightly uncovering his own scales.

"You may not be able to understand," Mo Zhiping said bluntly, "but I can't really leave behind the things that stand in my way so dashingly. Yes, I can't just forget that, forget that person had an accident in front of me, and I couldn't do anything, and a large part of it was because of me. ”

"I actually get it." Lin Ran suddenly said in a low voice.

Why not understand? After many years, she is no longer the second girl who was stunned by the flame of revenge, but the world is so sinister, it will always take away the freedom you were originally proud of or don't care, in order to give you the maturity you want.

The others Lin Ran didn't dare to say, but she understood what it meant to have nothing, and she also understood what darkness was.

Yes, after they went through that, they all grew up, became less stupid, and all understood what it was all about.

Mo Zhi said this, she can understand, so that she can say what is in her heart, but understanding is one thing, whether she can do it or not is another thing.

Lin Ran said this to herself, but probably because she knew herself too well, she had always been stubbornly unwilling to have a deeper connection with Mo Zhi, even if she was unwilling to maintain a relationship beyond ordinary friends.

Because she knew she couldn't let go.

The affection this man gave her always reminded her of the trust and affection that she thought was passionate when she was young, but was actually fragile and embarrassing, brought about all the past that she had been deeply buried and did not want to talk about again.

Such feelings are for Lin Ran...... It's like a dream that you can't wake up from.

Wind swords and frost swords, for those who have already been full-fledged, can cause limited damage, except for those injuries that have been suffered when they are still young, always covered in hard armor, although no one can see it, it is a fold that cannot be pressed even by the years, even if they try to forget or have forgotten after many years, they will penetrate into a person's bone marrow, and when the right time comes, they will take root and sprout, pierce the heart and skin, and grow dark thorns.

Fear and pain can ruin all the good feelings in the world.

She tried to forgive, she tried to pretend that nothing had happened, to be a very free and easy person - to be able to live and die without regrets and complaints about those who were so good to her, but she couldn't.

Because of Lin Ran, from the beginning to the present...... I've always been just an ordinary person.
