Tidal eyes fell on a ragged woman sitting begging at the door of the café. The woman had her back to her, unable to see her face clearly, except for a few large characters scrawled in black pen on the sign in front of her kneeling. "A bitter mother is looking for her daughter, and she is in a foreign land, thanks to the help of well-wishers."

The people who passed by were in a hurry. A little better passed by and threw a few coins by the way, but some people didn't even look at it, as if they were used to seeing this kind of old-fashioned trick and turned a deaf ear. The tide sighed in his heart, and a faint feeling of soreness spread in his chest. The clock hand hanging in front of him had already pointed to 2:15, and Sun Mu was already five minutes late.

She doesn't like people who are late, let alone the other party who took the initiative to invite her out for a meeting. He said that his English was not very good, and asked her if she could use the weekend to tutor, and today I will talk about specific matters. Tide thought that he had nothing to do, he was also a person Jiang Luo knew, so he temporarily postponed Jiang Luo's French class and came to the appointment.

"Tide-sensei!"

She heard Sun Mu's loud voice as soon as he entered the door. He sat down at a trot, and while saying that he was embarrassed, he hurriedly greeted the waiter. "Two caramel macchiatos."

"I'm really sorry, Lin Fei didn't call me when they got up, I overslept during the afternoon nap."

The tide raised his eyes and said it was okay. He was dressed differently today than he was at night, he didn't wear a peaked cap, but he had a sparkling stud earring on his right ear, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy, almost the same as her, exuding a full juvenile atmosphere all over his body.

"Regarding tutoring English, I have free time on Saturday and Sunday afternoons, and you can set the price?" Sun Mu asked her.

"I'm not very demanding, by the hour, thirty an hour. Two hours a day. ”

She saw Sun Mu grinning, revealing a neat row of bright white teeth. "The price is too low, fifty an hour."

Tidal pursed his mouth slightly, "My level is not at that price." ”

Sun Mu raised an eyebrow, looking at her gaze with interest. The coffee had already been served, and the waiter's skin was black, and he accidentally hit a sparkling earring in his right ear like Sun Mu. The rich fragrance gradually spread around him, and he lowered his head and took a sip, smiling. "I don't care, as long as you tutor. ”

As soon as the tide was about to say something, Sun Mu suddenly raised his head and looked directly, and she saw a faint brilliance in his eyes. "The teacher doesn't have a boyfriend, right?"

The coffee that was handed to his lips suddenly burned on Tidal's upper lip. She gasped and glanced at Sun Mu in surprise, as if he was joking. "Nope. Why do you ask this? ”

"It's fine." Sun Mu suddenly lowered his head and continued to drink coffee, as if he was starting to think about something important. "Drink it quickly, it won't taste good if it's cold."

It was like a dream in which someone was calling her name in her ear. There were two caramel macchiatos still steaming in his head, and La vie en rose of Edith Piaf in the café was still singing slowly and softly in his ears, and the hall was noisy, and the stud on Sun Mu's right ear was shining. Tidal felt like he was slowly sliding off his chair, or his head was sinking, everything in front of him was blurry, his eyelids were heavy, and sleepiness was coming in.

In a trance, a hand suddenly touched her collar and slid down the button. Tidal subconsciously reached out to block it, but was easily held by another hand of the same temperature, she wanted to open her mouth to scream, but her voice was hoarse and unable to speak. Someone whispered something sorry in her ear, mixed with a slightly trembling guttural voice, which made her feel hopeless and helpless. "Sun Mu? Sun Mu? She let out a few tentative shouts, the last face she remembered, grinning and his teeth white.

The hand slid down faster, a chill touching the skin, and then a blinding white light suddenly flashed in the darkness in front of the boundless eyes. Tidal gritted his teeth and felt tears fall from the corners of his eyes. She struggled to get out of that strangeness, but she didn't have any strength in her hands and feet.

She closed her eyes, and the face of Xia Chan shining with aura, Qiao Shen's clear and warm eyebrows, and Xiao Ya's eyes with determination came to mind.

"Ahh

Tide suddenly heard a scream of pain, and the shadow covering him suddenly bounced to the side. She opened her eyes and saw a black figure standing in front of her in a daze, coldly standing upright, not moving at all.

"Get out."

The word was bitten hard by the person who spoke, and she sounded like thunder. The sound is familiar. She searched hard for the owner of the voice, but a splitting headache forced her to stop. There were people talking all around. She listened hard, but heard only a few trembling words such as "bet" and "take a picture". Suddenly, her body rose into the air and fell into a pair of powerful arms, and she felt the fingertips on her skin unintentionally touched, and it was cold without the slightest temperature.

The glasses were removed, and she struggled to look up to see the visitor's face, and she saw the faint outline of his chin, his white and slender neck, and the mint fragrance that spread from his arms, which penetrated into her nostrils at the right time. Sensing this familiar aroma, the tide closed his sour eyes, and his hanging heart finally let go.

Jiang Qi.

Subconsciously, a voice told her that he was more dangerous than the man just now, but she just calmed down inexplicably. There was no warmth in his arms, but it made people feel extremely reassuring warmth. The tide breathed a sigh in his heart, and everything was finally settled.

Sun Mu was kicked by Jiang Qi when he was pulled up, and he was holding his stomach next to him, and his face was bloodless in pain. He saw him standing there with the tide in his arms, his brow glowing with icy anger.

"Brother Jiang Qi....... You let me go, I won't dare next time! It's all to blame on them, and they have to bet with me if they can get a picture of her body...... If I lose, I'm going to have to be beaten by them! ”

"Delete the photo, or I'll beat you so that your parents won't recognize you."

Sun Mu hurriedly took his mobile phone to delete the photos, and after deleting them, he held them up in front of Jiang Qi for him to consult. "I'm sorry Brother Jiang Qi, I'm really sorry, can you not tell Teacher Tidal, she will call the police!"

Jiang Qi was condescending, glanced at him coldly, and snorted.

"Look at my mood."

He turned around and kicked open the door, and walked out with the tide, the sound of the door panel hitting the wall made Sun Mu, who was slumped on the ground, shiver in fright.

The person in his arms suddenly moved unconsciously.

Jiang Qi lowered his eyes and looked down, and saw the tears left in the corners of the girl's eyes, and there was an undried tear stain from the corner of the eye to the temple, showing a crystal color in the moonlight shining in from the window of the taxi.

"Is this a girlfriend getting drunk?"

The driver's uncle glanced at the person sitting in the back seat in the rearview mirror, and a kind smile appeared on his face. "You young people, don't drink it if you can't drink it, take care of your stomach and liver."

"Thank you, uncle." Jiang Qi laughed softly, and his eyes suddenly fell on the collar that the tide had not yet had time to button.

"."

He lowered his voice and cursed, his gaze drifting from her white neck to the window. One hand held her head, and the other hand rested on her collar and began to button it.

The driver's uncle looked up again, and his smile reached the back of his ears. "Don't be shy, young man, you look at the buckle, your top button is tied to the second hole."

Jiang Qizhi felt pain at the corner of his eyebrows.

When the tide woke up, her eyes were swollen by the large amount of sunlight shining through the curtains. The mind finally came to its senses, and the memories that came back to my mind seemed to have happened just now, and as if they had happened in the distant past. She looked intently over her body and saw the uniformly colored bedding sheets of the hotel and the quartz clock hanging above the computer.

Nine twenty-five.

It's still yesterday's clothes. Tide exhaled, feeling that his presence here was inexplicably happening at a time and place. She felt her mouth dry and turned to the bedside table to look for the kettle, where she saw a white note pressed under the glass.

"I owe me a favor, and I will pay it back in the future."

She glanced down at the handwriting, and at the bottom of the note was a powerful signature.

"Jiang Qi."

Everything that happened yesterday suddenly unfolded before my eyes. The last memory scene was frozen on Sun Mu's face, and on the two obscene words that he tried so hard to hear. Suddenly there was a sharp knock on the door, and the tide got out of bed and glanced at the cat's eyes, and saw Jiang Luo, who was anxious, standing outside the door.

"Teacher! Are you okay? I'm sorry for you!! ”

As soon as the tide opened the door, Jiang Luo hugged it all at once. "The day I played the game, I knew that Sun Mu and they couldn't do anything good, but fortunately, my brother went to find you."

She felt Jiang Luo's tears wet her shoulders in large swaths. "It's okay, I'm fine, I want to know what the hell is going on."

She pulled Jiang Luo back to the bed and sat down, reaching out to wipe away her tears. "I thought Sun Mu was really asking me for English tutoring, so I went to discuss related things with him, and then I didn't remember anything."

"Yesterday my brother happened to come to me at home and asked why you weren't there, and I said that Sun Mu had something to discuss with you, and then he didn't say anything, turned around and went out." Jiang Luo stretched out her hand and pulled out a piece of paper, her voice was still trembling, and the tide of listening to it was terrified. "I didn't think something was right, so I called Lin Fei, and Lin Fei said that he also knew about Da Zhuang's bet, so I asked me to hurry up and save you."

The tide feels hot-headed, the unfamiliar fingertip coolness comes through the memory pavement, and there is nothing to say about the truth.

"They bet to shoot the girl's body, they have been planning for a long time, because Sun Mu played too close to you that night, and they let him do it, and if they can't do it, they will beat him. At the end of the day, only my brother heard what they were saying. ”

Jiang Luo's eyes were red and swollen from crying, and his face was full of self-blame. "The teacher is really sorry, because you are my teacher, they hide it from me and Lin Fei, and we don't know anything."

Suddenly it was revealed. Tide closed his eyes and remembered the cold touch of his fingertips and the bright white flash, and felt only a wave of nausea.

"I'm going to call the police."
