"Be careful of the people of the Xie family...... Marshal's daughter......"

After Gu Xi left Qin Feng's studio, she saw the message from Fu Jiangliu, and she was a little irritable, she didn't reply, but drove the rented car and went straight to the villa where she committed suicide.

......

Parking the car at the foot of the mountain some distance from the villa, Gu Xi trotted on foot and walked along the cement road to the front of the villa.

The spacious courtyard and the small white building with a foreign style are particularly magnificent in the afterglow of the sunset.

Just like Gu Xi's image in the eyes of the world, it is conspicuous and never low-key.

The anti-theft lock at the courtyard gate, the code has been replaced, and this villa, after being donated, now seems to have a new owner.

Because the villa is carefully maintained and cleaned all around, there are already traces of daily garbage in the garbage cans outside the courtyard.

But Gu Xi is like really going home, even if she can only climb over the wall to enter, after landing, she still walks calmly.

The front yard of the villa was quiet and silent, except for the rustle of the cold wind around the branches of the trees and the occasional chirping of sparrows in the distance.

When Gu Xi entered the first floor of the villa, it was really like no one, it was still empty, and there was not much added because of the new owner.

The first thing she did when she came in was to check whether there were electronic eyes installed around her.

Fortunately, no.

"Did you just check in......"

Whispering, Gu Xi frowned slightly, looking at the unchanged layout around him, the only difference from before his death was that the TV that was damaged by her shot seemed to have been replaced with the same new model.

Opening the door of the bathroom, Gu Xi leaned over on the floor near the sink and tapped lightly until the dull sound made a slight difference.

With a click, the hand with white gloves flipped up flexibly, and a black mini pistol appeared in the palm of his hand.

The fingers clenched suddenly, and the familiar touch made the girl's eyes have a moment of bloodthirsty excitement, and quickly disappeared.

Unbuttoned his coat, pinned the pistol to his waist, and wrapped himself tightly again, Gu Xi walked out.

In the empty and silent villa, Gu Xi went up to the second floor with the mood of visiting the former residence in front of him, and opened and closed the door in turn, as if to verify something.

Nothing has changed.

The bedroom, the study, the body room she used to use for fitness exercises, and even the balls resting on the yoga mat didn't roll aside.

This feeling made Gu Xi feel a little weird, and the new owner seemed to be deliberately maintaining the original state...... Could it be some old friend from her previous life?

On one side of the backyard, there is a phoenix tree that is supposed to live in the tropics and is not frost-tolerant at all.

In this climate and land that is not suitable for it, try to take root and live tenaciously.

The leaf is like the feather of the flying phoenix, and the flower is like the crown of the phoenix......

In the flowering season, the crown of this phoenix tree is always a large area of brilliant red, like a burning firework.

When Gu Xi died, the tree had already lost its leaves.

But in this cold winter, its bare branches are already faintly visible with scattered buds, waiting for the weather to be warm, and new green leaves will bloom.

Gu Xi walked to the balcony, originally wanting to see the tree, but the moment she walked out, the situation in the backyard suddenly caught her eyes, and she didn't dare to move.

Under the tree, in front of the drawing board, a man sits, intently scribbling on the canvas.

It seems that this lonely winter scene, in his focused look, has a beauty and extreme that others can't feel.

Back in the afterglow...... It was vaguely a young man, or a boy.

Gu Xi couldn't see his face, but there was a strong emotion in his heart that drove him forward, wanting to open his mouth to call him back, but he was afraid of disturbing him.

The aura on his body was so quiet that it seemed to merge with the surrounding scenery.

So after Gu Xi entered the villa, he didn't even notice that there were other people in the villa, in this backyard.
