Chu Xiao used his eyes to signal Chu Mian if he could take away his smile, it looked strange and scary, but Chu Mian didn't see it as if he was blind.

Chu Xiao was helpless, so he could only see out of sight and not be upset.

This younger brother is really hopeless.

The Gu family and the Chu family have been neighbors for a while, and at that time, Chu Mian especially liked to play with Gu Chuyi, and following Gu Chuyi was simply a follower.

As a result, when I grew up, it was still like this.

"First sister, do you want to eat?" Without waiting for Gu Chuyi to refuse, Chu Mian went to the side to pick up snacks for Gu Chuyi.

Gu Chuyi smiled helplessly.

Chu Xiao felt embarrassed and didn't want to recognize this younger brother, "You and this kid are together, I'll go to receive the other guests first." ”

"Okay."

Chu Mian picked up the dim sum and felt that he wanted to taste it for Chu Yi, but the plate for the dim sum was not big enough, so it was really difficult to choose.

As soon as he turned around, he found that Gu Chuyi was missing.

The night was dark, and the music of the reception was faintly coming from the darkness.

The wind blows on the face, making people feel a chill.

There are only a few warm yellow decorative lights on the roof, and only the places near the lights are slightly brighter, and the rest of the place is a space swallowed up by darkness.

There was a girl in front, leaning against the guardrail, with a mobile phone in her hand.

The phone made a beeping sound that the phone could not be connected, and the girl did not give up and called several times in succession, but still did not get through.

Gu Chuyi was still holding a wine glass in his hand, and the wine in the cup refracted a little bit of light under the light.

She just saw a familiar figure being pulled by a man forcefully, so she followed, but she didn't expect to follow to the top floor, and there was only one person left.

She was silent.

"Why are you here?"

When the girl heard the voice, she turned her head and looked at Gu Chuyi, her eyes showed a little surprise, "Sister, ......"

"I'm here after watching the movie."

She smiled slightly, her expression indistinct in the darkness, and her tone was soft and soft.

"I've been living here lately, and the school and dormitory have had a bit of an unpleasant relationship, and there's nowhere to go, so I've been living in a hotel."

"Is my sister here to eat with someone else?" "What a coincidence," she said. ”

“…… Well. ”

Gu Chu rubbed the wine glass with one or two fingers, looking at the reflected wine in the wine glass, with complicated emotions in her eyes, she took two steps and put the wine glass on the stone table next to her.

Chen Qian's body stood in the dark, unable to see her expression or the color of her clothes.

Gu Chuyi walked two steps, and there was a faint smell from the tip of his nose.

Very faint, so faint that it's almost impossible to determine what it is.

Gu Chuyi frowned uncomfortably, and quickly let go, and the smell disappeared again.

The place is open and the wind blows from other places and the smell is not surprising at all.

Gu Chuyi sat on the chair, and Chen Qian walked over.

Dressed in casual sportswear, she looks very young and sunny, and she is the girl she just saw who was pulled away by force.

Gu Chuyi was not interested in other people's privacy, and since nothing happened, she didn't have anything to say.

Although the ventilation in the wine hall is very good, the air is still not as good as the one on the roof.

Gu Chuyi decided to sit here for a while.

Chen Qian sat down next to Gu Chuyi, looking at the high-rise buildings with a sideways face, and the brightly lit city was reflected in her eyes.

The lights in the hotel went out suddenly.

Chen Qian seemed to be startled and exclaimed, "How come?!" ”

Gu Chu turned on the light of the handset.

The darkness quickly left, but suddenly there was a scream from inside the hotel.

This scream was very unusual, first the screams of different people, as if something extremely terrible had happened, so that this group of originally polite people suddenly lost their manners, screamed regardless of the image, and then immediately fell into an eerie silence.

"Shall I take a look?" Chen Qian hesitated and asked Gu Chuyi.

She looked panicked, with fear and curiosity on her face.

Gu Chuyi, "Let's go and have a look." ”

The lights in the staircase were restored, and the two of them walked downstairs, and as the floor went down, Gu Chuyi smelled the smell just now, which became more and more intense and clear.

Her eyebrows furrowed slightly.

…… The smell of blood.

Chen Qian also smelled this smell, she seemed to be stunned for a moment, not sure, turned her head and asked Gu Chuyi, "Is this the smell of blood?" ”

Gu Chuyi, "Yes." ”

Chen Qian smiled, "It can't be the smell from the hotel kitchen." ”

After speaking, Chen Qian was silent, and knew that her guess was impossible.

Compared with the current hotel, the fresh food is very clean and hygienic, and it is impossible to let the smell of blood permeate the stairs, or such a large area.

Neither of them was talking.

When he was about to get to the first floor, Chu Mian hurriedly walked up, and when he saw Gu Chuyi, he smiled reluctantly with a pale face, "First Sister Chu, there is a murder case in the hotel, and the scene must be blocked." ”

He briefly explained, "The deceased was a man, not within the scope of our invitation, and was said to be a guest who had just checked into the hotel. ”

Although Gu Chuyi had a guess in his heart, he was still a little difficult to accept when he heard it.

"First Sister Chu, you didn't eat anything just now, let's eat something first, I'm afraid I may not be able to leave for a while."

The death of the deceased was very miserable, Chu Mian was a boy, he didn't want to take another look, and he didn't want Gu Chuyi to look at it, so he pulled Gu Chuyi to go upstairs.

"First sister, I'll take you to eat something, don't go down, we'll stay upstairs."

Gu Chuyi had no objection and followed Chu Mian upstairs, but Chen Qian still stood still.

Chen Qian's face turned pale, and she was still standing motionless where she was just now, seeing Gu Chuyi looking back at her, a smile tugged at the corner of Chen Qian's mouth, "Sister, I'll go down and take a look." ”

"I have an uncle who also just checked into the hotel yesterday, and I haven't seen him tonight, and I can't get through on the phone."

"I'll go down and have a look." The last sentence almost disappeared in the throat.

After speaking, Chen Qian immediately turned around and walked downstairs, but there was no sound at all in her footsteps.

Chu Mian let go of Gu Chuyi's sleeve, his eyes were complicated, and he pulled Gu Chuyi's sleeve again for a while, "First Sister Chuyi, let's go up." ”

It's not that he doesn't have sympathy, it's just that he doesn't want the first sister to see that scene.

Gu Chuyi shook his head, his tone was indifferent, "It's okay, I'll go and see it too." ”

Chu Mian, "...... Okay, let's go down together. ”

When the two went down, the nearby police had already rushed over, and the scene of the crime was fenced off, Chen Qian stood on the edge, looking at the deceased, her eyes glazed, as if she had been hit hard.

Gu Chuyi and Chu Mian walked up to her.

Chen Qian heard the voice behind her and came back to her senses, "Sister, you also came down." ”

She lowered her head, her bangs covering her eyes, and her tone was painful, "He's really my friend." ”

"We haven't seen each other in a few years, and this time he's here to ask to see his daughter who is in college,"

"How can this be ......"

Gu Chuyi didn't respond, his eyes fell to the ground heavily.

The smell of blood was strong.

The man's clothes were the same as the clothes of the person who had just dragged Chen Qian away.

Chen Qian lay on Gu Chuyi's shoulder and cried, "He is obviously such a good person, and he sponsored me to go to junior high and high school at the beginning." ”

"I really didn't expect ......"

"It's all my fault, if I hadn't told him I was staying here, he wouldn't have stayed in this hotel, and he wouldn't have suffered these things......"

Gu Chuyi pushed her away, "Don't cry, go up and rest." ”

Chen Qian also wanted to pull Gu Chuyi, but was silently blocked by Chu Mian.

He stood in the middle of the two people, "First Sister Chu, let's go up." ”

He turned around and politely said to Chen Qian, "Don't be too sad." ”

I don't know why, he looked at the girl's tearful eyes, and always felt that there was something strange in his heart, and his intuition didn't want her to get close to Gu Chuyi.

He directly pulled Gu Chuyi away.

Chu Mian pulled Gu Chuyi into his room, brought her a plate of fruits and snacks, and saw that Gu Chuyi's eyes fell on the coffee table, and there was no focus.

This is the state that Gu Chu will have when he falls into deep thought.

"First sister junior high, you can eat something and cushion it, the police and others should make a record."

Chu Mian pushed the dim sum in front of Gu Chu.

"If you're tired, just rest in bed." Chu Mian added, "The bed is very clean and changed every day. ”

Gu Chuyi was slightly stunned, and smiled randomly, "Thank you, I know." ”

Chu Mian really took Gu Chuyi as a sister.

Chu Mian in elementary school, because of genetic reasons, was the youngest radish head in the whole elementary school, and he couldn't grow tall no matter how he ate, and he was often bullied by older children.

When you fight, you can't beat the tall one, you can't touch the basket when you shoot, and when you hurdle the hurdles, the hurdle is higher than others, and physical education class is Chu Mian's least favorite class.

And although Chu Mian is young, he still loves to save face, and he must be able to do what others will, especially when it comes to height-related things, he doesn't let an inch.

Therefore, he often fights with boys who are many times taller than him, and is often beaten to the point that his nose and face are swollen, starting with the momentum that can defeat thousands of troops, and ending with lying on the ground.

That is until he meets Gu Chuyi, a freak who single-handedly overturned the school's basketball team.

This freak is extremely powerful and accurate, and can throw the ball into the opposite basket from the other end of the basketball court.

Although Chu Mian is small and can't touch the basket no matter how he jumps, he can still shoot into it, and in terms of shooting strength alone, he can be regarded as one of the best.

At that time, he was bullied, and when he saw Gu Chuyi passing by the basketball court, he didn't even look at him with his indifferent back.

Distracted for a moment, he was punched, and he screamed all of a sudden, which attracted Gu Chuyi's attention.

As soon as Gu Chuyi found out that it was Chu Xiao's younger brother, he was surrounded by several people, and he didn't look like he was fine, so he walked over to take a look.

"Crown?" When he was a child, Gu Chuyi said suspiciously, "You were bullied?"

The young Chu Mian was ashamed to admit the fact that he was being bullied, feeling that this was a sign of weakness.

His idol is Ultraman Tiga! How can you be weak!

He was just annoyed and angry and wanted to ask Gu Chuyi to leave, but the person next to him grabbed his shoulders like a buddy and buckled him into his arms, so strong that he stumbled.

"No, no, we're exchanging feelings."

The person next to him immediately chimed in, "Yes, yes, we and Chu ...... Friends play basketball together. ”

Chu Mian: ......
