After the car started, looking out the window at the receding woods, I had no idea where this was, and I couldn't help but ask again, "Kaicheng, did you call the police?" How the hell did you know I was here? ”

Zhou Kaicheng heard my question, he drove slowly, and paused thoughtfully for a long time before saying, "I was going to ask you to have dinner yesterday, but your phone prompted you to turn off, I had a bad premonition, so I came to your house again, and found that your house was locked and no one was there, and then I went to your company again, and the secretary also said that you haven't been to the company for a long time...... I've been calling you all afternoon, and I've been turning off my phone, in short, I'm inexplicably anxious, I want to call the police, and I feel like I'm making a big fuss. Then I didn't sleep all night last night, and called you intermittently, and this morning, I received a text message from an unfamiliar number, saying that you were imprisoned by Han Qiaojuan in this village on the outskirts of Guangshi, and also sent me a navigation map, asking me to call the police immediately to save you. ”

"I called this unfamiliar number and found that it was a mobile number from other places, but the other party was also turned off. I was anxious all night, and I didn't have any extra time to speculate on the truth of this information, so I went to the police as soon as possible, and followed the police to find this place according to this navigation map, but I didn't expect to really see you. ”

All my thoughts were stuck in the 'strange number' he was talking about, and I asked him, "Show me your phone, who called you?" ”

"Look," he handed me his phone, "the latest call log." ”

"......" I clicked on Zhou Kaicheng's mobile phone and took a look, and I called it again, and soon there was a voice prompt that it was turned off. I can't help but wonder who revealed this key information to Zhou Kaicheng in a reverie? The other party can send Zhou Kaicheng a navigation map, could it be that he happened to be near where I was imprisoned at the time? This place is so far and remote, except for Han Qiaojuan and the doctor and nurse, who else would know?

"Yuncan," Zhou Kaicheng stretched out his right hand to hold my hand very naturally while driving, and changed the topic, "I'm really sorry this time, I didn't even know that you encountered such a big thing...... It's also my fault, I've been too busy with work during this time, and seeing that you have also come out of the shadow of losing your child, I am relieved that I will no longer keep in touch with you every day as before, otherwise-"

He sighed lightly and continued, "After all, we are just ordinary friends, and I may incur your disgust by paying close attention to you every day, so I try not to disturb you if I have nothing special, otherwise it is impossible for you to have such a thing happen." ”

My heart was soft, and I was slightly moved, but I felt that the hand he held was a little hot, and I couldn't pull it out......

"Kai Cheng," I said in a heartfelt and low voice, "no matter what, thank you so much, no one will pay attention to my life or death anymore except you, but you have given me so much, but I have never given you anything, and I can't give ......"

Yes, in this' The rest of my life's moment, with this man in this safe space, my heart is very warm and a little sour, I can't help but recall the bits and pieces of the past five or six years of acquaintance with him, he is mature and free, light and frank, steady and forbearing, in many details of the heart and lungs of good to me, but never showed how strong a purpose for me, give me full freedom, will not bother me casually, will not despise me, will not alienate me, so tolerant so open-minded and so understanding, I really don't know where I can attract him so devoted？

"I never felt like I had given you anything of value," he said, looking ahead of the window and smirking at himself, "but it's just a gesture, as long as you don't feel like I'm affecting your life and still accept my existence." Don't overthink it. ”

......I didn't speak again, tilted my head, and my eyes stayed on his side face for a long time, and some indescribable feelings surged in my heart.

Occasionally, he grabbed the steering wheel with both hands when he needed to turn or give way, and more often he held my hand with his hand, which was not very tight, and the car was not hot, but my hand was already sweaty in the package of his big hand...... I was dizzy, I didn't know what kind of mentality, in short, I didn't move, let him hold my hand, and let this irresponsible ambiguity continue to spread in the small space in the car......

The car entered the highway from the suburban road, then to the urban area of Guangshi, and then to my villa area, which drove for about three hours, and it was already 7 o'clock in the evening when I arrived home. As night fell, we had dinner at a nearby restaurant and headed home.

Sister Tao has not been there for the past few months, because one of her nieces has a baby who is going to confinement and needs her help, and I also granted her vacation. Now the house is empty again. Zhou Kaicheng and I sat on the sofa in the living room, our bodies close together, almost together, and I could hear his slightly heavier breathing, but we didn't make any further movements, just sat and chatted like this. He said without words, "Han Qiaojuan hasn't been found yet, do you want to call the police again and let her return to the case as soon as possible?" ”

I sighed and said, "I don't have time to dwell on her now, the most important thing at the moment is my dad's case." ”

Indeed, with Han Qiaojuan's shameless skills, it is not easy to use legal means to sanction her, and it is too much to go to the police station to make records, find a lawyer, and wait for trial, etc., it is too much toss, even if she is really sentenced to prison, it will not bring me much value, but it will make me tired, and Lao Hu's buttons are still frozen here, I have more than enough strength but not enough strength.

Zhou Kaicheng comforted, "You don't have to worry too much about your father's case, as long as he really didn't kill anyone, it will be a matter of time before he is released, and I will help you contact the best lawyer in the criminal case in a few days, and strive to return his freedom within a month." ”

"This matter is not so easy to solve. All the evidence provided by Han Qiaojuan to the police confirmed that Lao Hu was the murderer, there was no monitoring in that area, and the deceased was also cremated, the first scene had long been destroyed, and there was no trace of evidence to prove Lao Hu's innocence...... Oh, the so-called 'law' is so absurd, even if it is an obvious fact, it has to be 'evidence' to speak. ”

He put his hand around my shoulder and said softly, "There is still a long time before the trial, and there will be a second trial after the first trial, we have plenty of time, don't think so pessimistic." I promise you that I will let Lao Hu come out as soon as possible. ”

I nodded.

"Yuncan," he put his hand around my shoulder, the strength gradually tightened, and his body pressed closer to me, the Adam's apple rolled, brewing, "I-"

"What's the matter?" I asked knowingly, and the mechanical one was hugged by him.

"I—" he sighed, in a low and difficult voice, "can I spend the night with you tonight?" ”

"......" I shuddered inwardly.

"Don't get me wrong," he continued, "I'm mainly worried about you, you've just come back from that place, you're weak, and there's no one else at home watching me, and I'm afraid you'll be worried about what will happen to you." You're also spacious here, so I'll sleep in the room on the first floor. To be able to live here and guard you, I feel more at ease. ”

I was bored for a long time, feeling his warm and powerful embrace, smelling the breath of this strange male on his body, after a short period of confusion, my heart suddenly became so depressed, more and more uncomfortable, as if I was walking towards the edge of the cliff step by step, knowing that it was the cliff and jumping down...... I thought I had seen through a lot of things between men and women, and I could live chaotically and casually; I thought I could walk between them without taking men seriously, but at this moment, I realized that I couldn't do it at all...... The unrecognizable aftermath of that chaos made it impossible for me to face myself. The most important thing is that in front of Zhou Kaicheng, I don't want to make myself so unbearable anymore.

"You'd better go back and rest early." I gently pushed his restraints away, got out of his arms, and turned my back to him, "Kai Cheng, I still want to maintain our previous relationship, how clean it is, while nothing happens now, it's all enough." You are my final bottom line, I can deceive other men, but I must not defile you, and I don't want to defile myself in front of you. ”

"......" Zhou Kaicheng didn't speak for a long time, and he didn't touch me. It was as if time had stood still.

"Okay," he opened in a dumb voice, "I accept this 'positioning' you have given me, and it is quite comforting." His hand was placed on my shoulder again, pretending to be relaxed, "Yuncan, don't be unhappy, don't be stressed, I helped you purely to make your life good, and I didn't want to possess you." I don't lack women, nor do I lack women's love and adoration, not as pathetic as you think. ”

I was even more sad to hear, and my eyes were so swollen that I couldn't say a word anymore.

Then, Zhou Kaicheng really left, seeing his car disappear into the night, I closed the door again after a while, and fell back into the sofa in the living room.

After about an hour, I heard someone knocking on the door, not light, not heavy, one after another.

I thought it was Zhou Kaicheng who was back again, so I didn't ask, I got up and went to open the door for him.

However, the door was only halfway open, and I noticed that the tall figure that appeared in the door was actually ...... Jiang Feng.

The moment I made eye contact with him, my heart jerked, my fingers pinched the door, and the whole person froze, my head buzzing...... is also a man, when Zhou Kaicheng was just in this room, I was so calm and stable, but as soon as I saw the cold and gloomy face in front of me, this powerful aura that was not angry and self-threatening, I quickly set off a monstrous wave in my heart, and the whole person's mind was confused and dizzy, as if the soul was not my own......

"What are you doing here?" It took me almost a lot of effort to make a sound.
