Chapter 13: We Are Each Other's Pawns
Shen Yuchen frowned slightly, stabbed at Ping Yan, and felt sorry for himself. Feelings, his vigorous night fright, are all interpreted as him braved hunger and cold to find gifts for the beauty?
Lin Lixue was moved when she heard this, and the unhappiness caused by the pair of cheap earrings was suddenly swept away, and she couldn't help but raise her gaze and fix it on Shen Yujian's face, her eyes were crystal bright, hiding affection.
Shen Dashao squinted at Ping Yan and said with a smile: "That is, Sister Lixue, you can make the second brother who has always been frizzy willing to pick a gift for one night." Lin Dujun looked at this pair of beautiful people and laughed in agreement.
Lin Lixue looked at it and stared at it, her face turned red, her lips were honey, and she smiled shyly in her eyes.
Lin Overseer's adjutant Wang Sleeve strode forward, stepped out of the door with a gloomy face, and whispered a few words to Lin Overseer. Lin Dujun's expression became more and more stiff, and he slammed the table and shouted, "What the hell is going on? ”
Wang Sleeve stood upright, but his face instantly paused, and he glanced at the people on the table, and saw that Lin Dujun had no scruples about their existence, so he said directly: "Captain Gao's body was found in the field south of the city, and his subordinates have already checked several nearby farmhouses, they have no motive for committing the crime, and they don't have the guts, they are not murderers. We will investigate separately. ”
There is a good chance that Captain Gao is the man from last night, but how could his body appear in the deserted south of the city? Ping Yan's heart sank, and she looked at Shen Yuchen suspiciously, wondering if it was his hands and feet. But now he was leaning back in his chair, nothing to worry about, and quietly forked the dessert and tasted it slowly.
Lin Dujun wrinkled his face with a deep furrow and a shallow ravine, forced a calm tone and said a few perfunctory words to Shen Dashao, and asked Shen Yuchen to send Lin Lixue to the school early tomorrow morning, so he hurriedly sent the guards who accompanied him, and left gloomily.
After lunch, Lin Lixue insisted on Shen Yuchen to go to the New Century Department Store. Shen Yuchen shook the phone and called a car from the car dealership, and while waiting for the car, he took a cup of tea, as if he had no intention of asking: "Uncle Lin is in such a hurry, presumably that Captain Gao is very important, but it's a pity that God is jealous of talent." ”
Lin Lixue snorted lightly, sat down beside Shen Yuchen, and whispered mysteriously: "What kind of talent, that captain Gao relied on his father to get the position of deputy captain of the Qingzhou Patrol Police, and he himself is actually not familiar with history, so he has a straw bag." ”
Shen Yuchen took a sip of tea, and there were small tea beads damp along the lines on his lips, and under the crystal lamp branches, there was an uncertain light, like a cold blade that flashed in his eyes.
The car coming outside the gate honked a few times, Lin Lixue grabbed Shen Yujian's arm, took the handbag and went out in high spirits. Shen Yuchen had to lose his temperament, raise his spirit, and do his best to be a gentleman.
In the garden, the greenery is shady, and the mist is as hazy as a veil. Ping Yan sat on a stone bench in the long hall, looking at the white beams extending from the hall to divide the sky one by one. Beyond the road was a heavy dark cloud, and it seemed that a few cool rains had fallen down.
Her mood was like the weather covered by dark clouds, depressed and heavy, and people did not dare to breathe freely. In her mind, the appearance of her parents dying in a pool of blood appeared for a while, and the appearance of her brother in Kyushu appeared for a while, and Shen Dashao for a while, and the sound of Shen Yuchen shooting last night...... Her heart was a mess, and she was suddenly a little afraid of being involved with the descendants of the Shen family again.
A palm pressed down on her shoulder, and it tightened slightly, the generous touch of warmth like a silent comfort, caressing her extremely uneasy heart.
"Don't you have anything to tell me about last night?"
The voice was quiet and thick, Ping Yan was stunned for a moment, then stood up, bowed his head slightly, and bowed his head silently.
Shen Da Shao stood calmly and repeated, word for word: "What happened last night, don't you have anything to tell me?" The coldness in his words came to his face.
"What the eldest young master wants to know, I have already told it all at the table." Ping Yan said lightly. Shen Yuchen is right, with that human life leading, they are grasshoppers on driftwood. Although she has a certain cooperative relationship with Shen Dashao, he is a calculating person, if he knows the inside story, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not give her half of the murderer to Lin Dujun for the sake of affection.
Shen Dashao pinched her jaw, tightened her strength, and slowly lifted it. Ping Yan looked him in the eye obediently.
His eyes are as deep and vast as Shen Yuchen's, but Shen Yuchen's eyes are like an endless sky, sprinkled with stars and decorated with moon disks. And his eyes are more like a bottomless well hidden in the dark, and there are too many emotions that cannot be seen through, too many places that are difficult to set foot in.
He stared at Ping Yan, the dark clouds seemed to gather on his face, and his voice rolled out of his throat, like a muffled thunder breaking through the air, oppressing word by word, "Don't forget, you are my pawn." ”
Ping Yan suddenly smiled, and the corners of her eyes and eyebrows were soft and lovely of Xiaojia Jasper, "I have always remembered." ”
Shen Dashao has always felt that her appearance and temperament are very similar to Bai Ju when the autumn mist is about to rise, lonely and pure, long in the turbid red and dusty world, but she lives like a detached life in the world, and it is difficult to find a trace. Occasionally smiling, it only floated on the skin, and her bent eyebrows and eyes were shallow, like rippling autumn waves, and the lingering autumn water seemed to soak into his eyes.
His heart skipped a beat without warning. In an instant, there was a pinprick pain on the other wrist, and it was Ping Yan's fingernail that had opened a hole. Shen Yuchen raised his head with a calm face, and all parts of his body suddenly itched and numb, and the fingers he pinched Ping Yan's chin lost his strength, and Ping Yan escaped with his arms around and stood aside coldly.
Shen Da Shao kept saying that she was his pawn, but how did he know that he was not her pawn?
Chess pieces should be restrained from each other, and she has never liked to be controlled between the palms of her hands.
"What the hell did you do!" Shen Dashao glanced at the little vermilion powder in the wound on his wrist, his anger was cold, and he gritted his teeth.
Ping Yan bent her index finger and looked at the remaining medicine powder between her fingernails with a smile. Her master, Liu Sanchun, is not only a master of opera, but also a master of using poison. The medicine she used on Shen Dashao just now was the master's new research, which could break through wounds and teach people to itch and numb. She was going to buckle a little bit to defend herself in her nails, but she didn't expect it to really come in handy. Thinking that she raised her head slightly, she looked innocently and unscrupulously at Shen Dashao, who was dripping with cold sweat, trying her best to control the scratching, and smiled knowingly. This medicine works well!
Shen Dashao clenched his fists, staring at Ping Yan's complex and vivid expression changes in this short moment, and Tie Qing's face forced a calm smile. Unhurriedly, he pulled out a pistol from his belt.
Ping Yan stepped forward fearlessly, and immediately shortened the distance between the two. Shen Dashao only saw a pair of cunning and cold eyes that suddenly expanded, and in a blink of an eye, the muzzle of the gun in his hand had been lightly blocked by a few slender fingers.
"I just made a joke with the eldest young master, and I wanted to tell the eldest young master that rabbits will bite people when they are in a hurry, let alone a big living person like me. We are in a cooperative relationship with each other, not a master-servant relationship that is absolutely obedient, and I don't want the eldest young master to control my behavior and control my thoughts. What I want to say will naturally be said, and I won't say half a word if I don't want to say it. Ping Yan said softly, turned behind him, pressed his shoulders with both hands, and pressed his body to the stone bench and sat down. Although the eldest young master can rest assured, this is not a powerful poison, as long as he goes back and washes his body with honeysuckle and bitter ginseng boiling water, he will be fine. The eldest young master is waiting here, and I will find a servant right away. ”
only left him with a faint and distant back of Tingting.
Shen Dashao slapped his hand on the marble flat table, shook it viciously, and finally couldn't hold it anymore and scratched his lower neck. A few rays of light tore through the heavy clouds, and his face was backlit, but there was a flicker of anger in his eyes, and the meaning was unknown.
In the evening, the headlights peeked by. Lin Lixue jumped into the door, and Shen Yuchen was carrying a large bag and a small bag behind him with a tired face.
Xu Wanqing was sitting on the sofa to recuperate, and Dongxia was rubbing her head. Xiyue was clever, and when she saw them coming back, she hurriedly went to the stove room to deliver food. Xu Wanqing greeted her with a smile, held Lin Lixue's hand, and made a few gestures. Dongxia lowered her head on one side and explained: "Mrs. is asking if the young lady is tired, has the second young master done his full gentlemanly demeanor?" ”
Lin Lixue didn't want to pay attention to an old-school boudoir like her, but she mentioned the number one sweeter character in her heart, you must know that a handsome boy like Shen Yuchen spent a lot of money in the store, which made her the envy of all the ladies and ladies. The girl who fell in love for the first time always seemed extraordinarily soft and sweet when she was concerned with the words of her sweetheart, she smiled shyly at the moment, turned around and pulled a cardboard bag with a foreign brand in Shen Yujian's hand, took out a fashionable silk scarf and wrapped it around Xu Pingyan's neck, and winked playfully, "This is what I deliberately picked for Sister Xu, Sister Xu is very beautiful." ”
Xu Wanqing lowered her eyes and looked at the silk scarf with complex patterns and bright colors, which was really light and thin like a sunset, and as soon as the breeze left, she began to swim slowly and slowly. It's like a free beat to the melody. Her eyes lit up slightly, but they dimmed in an instant. In the past, she also chased and preferred such fashionable brands, and also held a horizontal bar on the long street with a mighty arm-shaking parade, but now she prefers to be a woman who sticks to tradition and teaches her husband and children. Not for anything else, but because her husband likes her current self.
His liking is the most important thing.
