Seeing that Murong was gone, Han Yu couldn't help but glance at Zhou Erya, knowing that he was not qualified to teach him to get along with girls, but he still persuaded him bitterly: "You want to be a gentleman to girls, if it weren't for Miss Murong's good cultivation, I'm afraid she wouldn't have paid attention to you." ”

"Where am I not a gentleman?" Zhou Erya asked with a funny face.

"Just now...... You just talk...... It's a bit excessive, and it doesn't give people face. Han Yu was very anxious for him.

Zhou Erya and Murong have not successfully divorced yet, which means that Murong is likely to be his future wife, how can he treat girls like this.

"Why are you embarrassed to point me out?" Zhou Erya slammed back mercilessly, "I want to know how much face you give Gu Xueli." ”

Han Yu almost choked on his own saliva, he immediately shut up, blushed, and said unwillingly: "I have nothing to do with her, can you stop mentioning her?" ”

"Do you bet that she's waiting for you at the door of the mansion right now." Zhou Erya choked Han Yu to death with a sentence, "It's okay, people won't do this." ”

Han Yu thought of what Gu Xueli said, asking him to treat him to dinner for a month, and his scalp suddenly went numb, and he didn't even feel in the mood to solve the case.

Even the ninth sister and Han Wenniang were brought over by Murong, but what the remaining two people present said was of little value.

Even the ninth sister is a shy girl, and she doesn't dare to look up at the man.

Hearing Zhou Erya and Han Yu talking, she blushed, and she was embarrassed to say more, squeezing out the word "yes" from her teeth, even the roots of her ears and neck were red, and her whole white face was as red as a sunset.

Her voice is also very small, and she always answers questions like a mosquito humming, and she can't hear clearly unless she listens carefully, and most of the time she only nods and shakes her head, refusing to say a word.

Of course, there was no way to get any important news from her, and Han Yu could only release her in the end—after all, the inquiry was like a punishment to her.

Although Han Wenniang is also shy, she is much more generous than the ninth sister, she looks like a normal little jasper, is she peeking at Zhou Erya a few times, her face is crimson.

But she really didn't notice anything at the time, so she couldn't ask anything.

Han Yu sorted out their inquiry records, a little disappointed: "These two people didn't provide any useful information. ”

"Alright." When the two of them were gone, Zhou Erya stood up and casually turned the ring on her index finger, "Now we can go, and we will come back tomorrow." ”

As the first scene, he couldn't solve the case today, of course, he had to come often, but it seemed that he had inquired about it today, and the time was not early, and he was hungry.

Han Yu came and spirited: "Shall we go to the University of South China to find Bai Fei's boyfriend?" ”

It's just next door, and it's only about ten minutes away from it, which is very convenient.

"Nope."

Zhou Erya shook her head.

"Let's go to Bai Fei's house first."

Your logic is always a little weird!

Han Yu was helpless, but Zhou Erya always had his reasons, and it seemed necessary to understand the victim's family situation, but it was just ......

He was a little worried, and looked at Murong, who was still waiting quietly for the results: "As for the school, Bai Fei's family should have been notified, right?" If, according to Lu Xiaoping, she was brought up by a single mother, will the family grieve excessively? ”

This kind of notifying her daughter of her death, Han Yu didn't want to see it.

In fact, he was also very resistant to seeing the victims' families, but he had to do it.

"So what? You have to face it, and it's useless to run away, don't you say? ”

Zhou Erya didn't seem to care about this emotional pain, and turned her head to ask Murong, who had been silent.

"Yes." Murong nodded in agreement, "The school hasn't notified you yet, but no matter how sad it is, what you should face should muster up the courage to face it." ”

Han Yu really had nothing to say to the two of them, both of them were freaks.

Although what they said is reasonable, if such a thing is really encountered, how can the closest relatives and partners face it rationally.

"Then ......" Han Yu smiled bitterly, he knew that Zhou Erya liked to attack directly, and he himself was not very good at comforting others, looking at Murong who looked gentle and well-behaved, he had an idea, and said, "If there is no notice, then Miss Murong will go with us, you are a girl and Bai Fei's friend, you go and talk to Bai Fei's mother, I am afraid that what our two big men say is too straightforward, people can't stand it, in case the grief is too much and faints...... We're not easy to deal with, you've also learned first aid, no matter how you look at it, we all need you. ”

After speaking, he gave Zhou Erya a look, and could only help him get here.

Get along with Murong more, maybe you will fall in love for a long time.

After all, Murong looks really good, and some of her personalities are quite similar to Zhou Erya, if she misses it, she may never find such a good daughter-in-law again.

"Well, you're right."

Zhou Erya actually agreed with Han Yu very face-saving, I don't know if she was used to accommodating Han Yu in such a trivial matter, or because she felt that Murong had the value of following them.

But from his title, even a person as sluggish as Han Yu felt a trace of intimacy - instead of calling "Miss Murong" politely, he directly called his name.

What does this mean?

Han Yu was faintly looking forward to Murong, feeling that between her and Zhou Erya, there was not a complete future.

But he is worried about Zhou Erya, because the more he gets along, the easier it is to be attracted by his talent, and at the same time, he will not tolerate some of his quirks, at least if they live together, there will be a lot of troubles.

When she went out, Han Yu originally wanted to talk to Director Qiu, but she was not in the office and didn't know where she went, so Murong didn't go to help find Director Qiu, and just said that she would leave the school.

Anyway, she took a day off, and she was accompanying these two people to find clues.

The doorman was a sturdy woman in her forties, probably under the orders of Director Qiu, as if facing a great enemy, as soon as the two of them and Murong left on the front foot, they immediately closed the door, as if they were afraid that they would change their minds and come back.

"Is a women's university still a place for the pursuit of knowledge and freedom? It's a prison. ”

Han Yu didn't complain before, and couldn't help but complain when he went out.

is a good school, and he is so depressed, and he has a feeling of depression in it.

He obviously regarded Murong as his friend, and when he said this, he didn't treat her as an outsider at all, as if he had forgotten that she was the top student and representative student of this school.

"It's more than a school." Zhou Erya looked up at the gloomy sky, and said lightly, "Is this world and this society different from a cage?" ”

"We are all in purgatory, and if we don't fight, we will never see the real light of day." Murong also answered.

The heavy shadows always make it difficult to breathe, and only when the blazing sun shines on the eyelids of the body can you feel a moment of relaxation.

"You ...... Other metaphysical ......"

Han Yu sighed, feeling that Zhou Erya had finally met her bosom friend, Murong and Zhou Erya's ideas were very close, but it was too easy to elevate the problem.

"Miss Murong, are you sure you know where Bai Fei's home is?" Han Yu didn't like heavy topics and tried to talk about something light.

"Didn't Xiaoping say it? Across the street from her house. Murong heard clearly outside the door at that time.

Bai Fei hid her family very well, although Murong could sense that she was a vain girl from her usual relationship, but she didn't have the heart or time to dig out what was behind her.

Murong is just a good student in school who reads and studies when he has time and learns new knowledge, rarely gets involved in right and wrong, and does not waste time on irrelevant matters, just like Bai Fei has never invited her to her home, and she has never asked where her family lives.

But Lu Xiaoping loves to talk and laugh, and once talked about her family affairs, what kind of business she does, and on which street, and often brings her family's specialty snacks to eat......

Han Yu took out a small notebook from his pocket, which kept a map of Shanghai in it, and he was looking for the address, only to hear Zhou Erya say: "I'm hungry." ”

With that, Zhou Erya went into a dessert shop opposite the school.

There are a lot of desserts and afternoon tea snacks opposite the Women's University, probably because girls like to eat sweet food, so this can be regarded as the sweetest place in Shanghai.

Most of the shops on this street are pink and cute, or elegant and plain, but they are all full of strong girlish atmosphere.

This made Han Yu a big man very uncomfortable, and he always felt like a reckless man who strayed into a girl's boudoir.

He didn't want to walk into such a girlish place, and he didn't want to be a light bulb, so he stood on the side of the road and said to Zhou Erya: "I don't like sweets, you and Miss Murong can eat, I'll drink some tea in the teahouse over there and wait for you." ”

Although he was in a hurry to solve the case, he couldn't starve the golden young master of the Overseer, and Han Yu knew that Zhou Erya would never treat his stomach badly to help others.

He didn't eat and drink enough and would be in a bad mood.

"Miss Murong, you can help take a look, don't let him eat too many sweets, it's not good for his health." Seeing Zhou Erya walking into the sweet shop, Han Yu said to Murong.

"I'll pass it on to him." Murong smiled sweetly at him gently, nodded and said.

Han Yu was dumbfounded, and always felt that this girl's character was ...... and Zhou Erya's fight.

Sure enough, when Murong ordered sweets unscrupulously in Zhou Erya, he conveyed Han Yu's words to him as they were: "Mr. Han asked me to help take a look, don't let you eat too many sweets, it's not good for your health." ”

Zhou Erya studied the dessert list, and said without raising her head: "Sugar can provide the energy needed by the body, I just normally ask for the energy I need to maintain my life." ”

"You need a lot more energy than the average person." Murong saw him order a bunch of desserts, and expressed his envy in a very quiet tone, "It's not fat, it's jealous." ”

After all, it's a young girl, no matter how mature her heart is, she will occasionally show her simple childishness.

Like ordinary girls, Murong also has a pursuit of beauty.

Like ordinary girls, she also likes desserts, but never dares to eat more.

Murong felt that restraint in the things he liked was a more mature performance.

"Probably because I have too much mental activity and consumes too much energy." Zhou Erya ordered sweets, and sat in a suit on the pink sofa, looking a little abrupt, but unexpectedly coordinated.

"Maybe." Murong didn't order anything, just a glass of boiled water, she took a sip of water, and suddenly said, "Your friend, Mr. Han, cares about you very much." ”

This sentence, she broke into three sentences, each of which emphasized their relationship.

Zhou Erya raised her eyebrows, and only let out a faint "oh".

Two waiters prepared dessert and watched the young couple whispering from time to time.

Men are rarely seen at women's colleges, and there is also a street on this side where there are very few male customers.

Zhou Erya's appearance was already eye-catching, the shopkeeper was an elderly lady with a kind face, and she glanced at Zhou Erya from a distance several times, and her face was a little surprised.

"I didn't expect that the women's university is so open now, and I skipped class to have an afternoon snack with my boyfriend." A waiter saw that the shopkeeper had been staring at Zhou Erya, and whispered.

"It really looks like ......" The old lady sighed in a low voice as if she hadn't heard it, and took the plate from the waiter's hand, "I'll send it over." ”

The waiter was stunned, quickly put the snack on the table, and handed it to the old lady.

Although the old lady is nearly seventy years old, she is very good, her gray hair is meticulously coiled behind her head, rubbing osmanthus oil, wearing a plain and well-fitting cheongsam, with the elegance and delicacy of old Shanghai.

"The little master hasn't been here for a long time." The old lady took the snacks and sent them to Zhou Erya's table, and asked with a smile, "Do you remember me?" ”

"I didn't expect Grandma Wang to remember me too." Although Zhou Erya's expression was very calm, he could feel the waves in his heart.

"It's been almost twenty years...... I thought I'd never see you again. The old lady sighed with some embarrassment.

"I've been studying abroad and just recently came back." Zhou Erya said with a smile.

"Since you're back, you will come over often in the future, and grandma still remembers that you love to eat crystal cakes, and the taste has not changed." The old lady looked at him lovingly, then at Murong, and sighed with emotion, "I grew up in the blink of an eye...... You eat, and I won't bother. ”

This shop is a long-established shop here, older than the women's university, and there are always some special girls who can be remembered as they walk out of the school gate one after another.

For example, Zhou Erya's mother, Lin Wanru.

Back then, I loved to eat osmanthus cake here, I liked the osmanthus flavor on Grandma Wang's body the most, and I also liked this pink sofa the most - this was the most fashionable shop on this street back then, and the time-honored and trendy collided together to produce a wonderful chemical reaction.

And she also found a lot of inspiration here, and painted a lot of interesting paintings.

There were several of her paintings on this wall, but after the unexpected death of her mother, the Overseers were so grieved that they took back her relics, especially the paintings, at high or compulsory prices.

Now the wall is empty, and even memories have become unreliable.

Grandma Wang watched Lin Wanru go from a young but talented student, to marrying the most powerful person in Shanghai, and then to one day, holding a pink-carved doll......

For more than ten years, even after graduating, Lin Wanru still often came to this shop to eat her favorite osmanthus cake, chat with Grandma Wang, or take a paintbrush and sit on one of her favorite sofa seats to write and draw for an afternoon.

It's just that young female students are becoming more and more mature and unhappy.

Later, she never appeared again, and there were rumors about her, some that she was a reactionary, some said that she was taken away by the government, some said that she was dead, and some said that she went abroad to further her studies, and after a while, the paintings on the wall were taken away by the people sent by the Overseers......

Then, the whole of Shanghai was silenced, and no more talk about her was allowed.

Twenty years later, the name seems to have been erased from the world.

Grandma Wang sometimes sat in the sun and looked at the young female students who came out of the school opposite, and felt that what appeared back then was a hallucination.

In fact, there is no such person as Lin Wanru, it is just her imagination.

But Zhou Erya's appearance let Grandma Wang know that even if some people have been erased, they still have traces of existence.

This child's facial features and temperament are very similar to the beautiful Lin Wanru back then, with the delicate sensitivity of an artist, bright and gloomy.

Grandma Wang looked at the two young people from a distance, and didn't even dare to ask if Zhou Erya's mother was still there—the order of the overseer, no one was allowed to mention Lin Wanru's name again, and a civilian outsider like her didn't know what happened to Lin Wanru, and now she was alive or dead.

But watching this generation grow up again and have a new life of their own, it seems to be a little comforting in my heart.

"You used to come here when you were a kid?" Murong asked curiously.

"My mother used to bring me here." Zhou Erya nodded generously and did not hide it.

Since he was able to walk into this place full of memories, it meant that he was already able to face it.

All of it.

Whether it's sad or happy, he can face it.

"I love the osmanthus cake here, it reminds me of the tranquility of autumn." Murong didn't continue to ask, cut a small piece of osmanthus cake and put it in his mouth, and said.

"My mother loved it too." Zhou Erya squinted his eyes slightly, the afternoon sun was a little dry, he thought of a certain afternoon twenty years ago, his mother sat in Murong's place, gently watched him eat desserts, and used a signed pen to draw his cute appearance when he ate cakes in a small notebook.

"Your mother...... She is also a student at a women's university, and she is my senior sister. Murong saw that he took the initiative to mention his mother, and said tentatively.

Others don't know about the housework of the Overseer's Mansion, but the Mu family, who is the object of marriage, of course, still knows a thing or two.

At least I have an understanding of the biological mother of Chenglong's fast son-in-law.

What's more, Zhou Erya's mother had a certain influence in Shanghai and even the entire East.

She was the first person to promote the feminist movement in China, and she was also the first female painter to come out of here, and even in Western painting, she has her own place.

It is really sighing that such a talented woman fell when she was in her prime.

When Lin Wanru died, the Overseers didn't publish an obituary in the newspapers, not even a funeral, not to mention that the civilians didn't know about her, and even the upper class didn't know what happened to her.
