At the end of the second floor of the red-tiled and white-walled villa, there is a semicircular open-air balcony, and various potted plants are planted on the fence around the balcony.

Colorful flowers grow with lush foliage, compared to the garden on the top floor of the Liu family villa, it has a unique fresh and beautiful style.

In front of the fence, there is a white jade porcelain lounge table with a white open top, which not only has rocking chairs to sit on, but also comes with some cabinets that look like decorations, and in it are lined with various kinds of precious white beers and drinks. However, the cabinet door was now open, apparently freshly opened.

Shao Yang was lying on the edge of a fenced platform directly in front of the dome of the open-air balcony, dressed in a casual shirt and jeans, his right hand was propped up on the edge of the fence, and his left hand was half-dragged down, holding an opened brandy bottle in his palm, which had a rich and mellow aroma of wine, which slowly drifted away with the night breeze.

"Brother Shao Yang, it turns out that you are here."

And when Shao Yang raised his hand from time to time to gently sip the wine bottle in his hand, a coquettish voice suddenly came from behind him, but it came with a sweet smile, breaking Shao Yang's thinking of falling into a state again.

"Xiao Jin? Eh, why did you come upstairs at this point? You're not supposed to be packing ......."

"Tidy up the house? Well, I'm busy, but my aunt came over and robbed me of my work, so I'll come and see you. ”

Shao Yang slowly turned around, and when he could see that it was Xia Xiaolan who was gradually walking in, his face had been low, and he couldn't help but raise a smile that he didn't understand. However, before his question was over, Xia Xiaolan had already grabbed the words and answered.

"Huh? Why is my mom robbing you of your job? Is there anything wrong with you? ”

Hearing the girl's slightly strange and bland reply, Shao Yang couldn't help but feel slightly surprised in his heart, so his eyes condensed slightly and began to look at her.

"No, it's gone. Actually、Auntie wants me to come and see you。 ”

Being stared at by Shao Yang was a little unnatural, Xia Xiaolan's pretty face was only flushed and muttered softly, but fortunately, in the night, the girl's crimson cheeks were not very obvious, so Shao Yang did not see it.

Shao Yang was stunned for a moment when he heard this, but he immediately understood, pouted and sighed slightly: "It turns out that my mother still saw it, it's really ......."

"Brother Shao Yang, what happened? It's going to make you worry like this. ”

Xia Xiaolan slowly took a lotus step, walked gently to Shao Yang's side, also leaned on the railing and leaned lightly, then turned her head and looked at the young man's side face, and asked in a low voice with some solemnity and seriousness.

"Xiao Jin, in fact, there is a question that I have always held in my heart. Originally, after the last time I met you, I was going to ask you. But I don't want to force you, and I can accept that you have your own secrets, but this time it's different, it's the way it goes, and I really want you to be honest with me. ”

Shao Yang's eyes drooped slightly, and the gaze that looked at Xia Xiaolan's pretty face gradually became solemn, but there was a vague struggle.

Meimu looked back at Shao Yang, Xia Xiaolan's heart sank slightly, and she seemed to see something in the former's eyes, and she couldn't help but look a little stunned at the moment.

After briefly pursing her lips and hesitating for a moment, she replied with a faint smile: "Well, you ask." As long as I can help Brother Shao Yang, I am willing to do anything. ”

"You don't have to do anything. It's just that I want to know, what is the relationship between you and the mysterious organization that kidnapped Mo Qingyu last week? Why did he suddenly agree to let us go after you made that phone call? ”

As if Xia Xiaolan's suddenly tender words, he was slightly surprised for a moment, Shao Yang pouted his lips with an embarrassed face, turned his face sideways, and continued to lie on the edge of the balcony fence, looking at the night outside the sky, and said a little quietly.

"Brother Shao Yang, why did you suddenly remember to ask me this?"

Although Xia Xiaolan had been somewhat mentally prepared, when she heard Shao Yang ask in person, her delicate white face couldn't help but still look unnatural.

"What's the matter, still don't you want to say? I think you've had a hard time all these years, right? That's why there are so many secrets. ”

"I'm sorry, Brother Shao Yang, I don't want to be like this, I don't want to be like this. I don't want to lie to you, but I'm afraid, I'm afraid I told you, I will-"

Facing Shao Yang's slightly lost tone, Xia Xiaolan suddenly became in a trance as if she was frightened, and she was eager to confess herself to Shao Yang, but in the end, she couldn't help but stop suddenly.

Obviously, from the girl's muddy and complicated complexion, Shao Yang also saw the unspeakable hidden in the latter's heart.

"If that's the case, forget it. No matter what, I want to believe that the little girl who walked through my childhood holding hands with me will still retain the kindness in her heart. ”

"Brother Shao Yang......"

Shao Yang quietly didn't know when, but he looked back at the girl who was worried about his side, and showed a knowing and simple smile. Xia Xiaolan was slightly stunned again when she saw this, but soon understood like a heart-to-heart and tapped her head.

"Are you still going to see them? Otherwise, I'll go with you. ”

After a short silence, Xia Xiaolan, who was smart-minded, saw that Shao Yang fell into a state of thought again, and her pretty face was inadvertently overflowing with a faint affection. After struggling back and forth in her heart for a long time, she actually opened her mouth like this, tentatively asking Shao Yang for a sound.

"How do you know?"

As soon as the girl's light words fell, Shao Yang's eyes couldn't help but dilute a little, and the gaze that looked at Xia Xiaolan gradually flashed and fluctuated.

After waiting for a while, seeing that the latter didn't know how to answer, he had to shake his head helplessly and refused: "No." This time I have to go alone, Mo Qingyu, I didn't promise to take her, how can I pull you in again. ”

"This is originally my personal grudge with them, and it has nothing to do with you."

"Hmph, I just want to protect you. Brother Shao Yang, why are you always a mouthful of Mo Qingyu, what is the relationship between you and her? ”

I don't know if it was because of the decisive rejection, Xia Xiaolan's fair and small pretty face suddenly became dissatisfied, and even the answers and successive rhetorical questions were mixed with a bit of sour vinegar.

"I'm a big boy, why do I need your protection? Mo Qingyu and I are just classmates and friends. Xiao Jin, why are you asking this? ”

"Is that really it? It's the kind of friend in general.,Or、It's still a boyfriend and girlfriend.。 ”

Shao Yang didn't expect that his half-understated answer would make Xia Xiaolan say such a thing, so he couldn't help but stand still and lose his mind at the moment. Naturally, he couldn't be a confused person, how could he not hear the clear jealousy of the girl in front of him.

"You're thinking too much, Xiao Jin. Mo Qingyu and I, we are like a pair of good buddies like friends. Well, it's friends who can communicate with each other and talk and share their hearts. So don't get me wrong. ”

Shao Yang swallowed lightly, and noticed that the beautiful eyes of the girl in front of him were overflowing with a little crystal, and he couldn't help but panic for a while.

He was most afraid of girls crying in front of him, not to mention the people he cared about. After quickly locating his relationship with Mo Qingyu in his mind, Shao Yang immediately hurriedly defended himself to Xia Xiaolan.

"Do you care about me?"

Xia Xiaolan seemed to be a little reluctant, and when Shao Yang was anxiously clarifying the relationship with another woman for herself, she seemed to enjoy this feeling in her heart, so the corners of her lips actually raised a touch of satisfaction.

"Of course I do, your place in my heart is irreplaceable by anyone else. Over the years, I've always wanted to meet you again. Fortunately, God blessed us to meet again in such a way. Xiao Jin, thank you. ”

"Huh? Why are you thanking me all of a sudden? ”

Being said by Shao Yang's words, Xia Xiaolan's pretty face was slightly blushing, and she could even bury her head and hear her rapid heartbeat. When he saw Shao Yang suddenly thanking him, he couldn't help but nod his head and replied curiously.

"Thank you, willing to talk to me when I'm in a bad mood......"

Shao Yang's voice replied in a long and delicate way, and finally even became a little soft and weak, and it dissipated quietly in the girl's ears.

Xia Xiao Lauder frowned slightly, and hurriedly turned back in surprise, only to find that Shao Yang had closed his slightly heavy eyes at some point, and sat completely on the side of the fence, falling asleep with a tired face.

Looking at Shao Yang, who had fallen into a deep sleep, Xia Xiaolan's face suddenly stiffened, the corners of her mouth pulled up a touch of helplessness, and she stood in place with her lips pursed for a long time.

It wasn't until her legs and feet were a little numb that she stretched out her plain hand, took out the wine bottle that Shao Yang was still holding in her palm, and then helped the latter up, and slowly moved to the villa with difficulty......

As the night deepens, Santa Fe on the coast is shrouded in a light mist under the sparse starry night, which looks very ethereal. The various colors of neon lights quietly blur into the distance, blurring the beautiful and long coastline of this bay.

In the Liujia Garden Community of Santa Fe Modern City, between the corridors on the second floor of the villa, Liu Cen was dragging his chin back and forth with one hand, and on the edge of the aisle on the side, Aunt Mei was staring at Murong Shuo, who was half leaning against the wall, with a nervous face.

"Why haven't you come yet? Aunt Mei, are you sure that the security guard called the police as I told you? ”

Liu Cen had a pair of blazing eyes, and after pacing back and forth for a long time, he suddenly turned around and looked at Murong Shuo, who was standing in the corner of the wall, still covering his chest with his hands, and his face turned slightly pale. With an unclear vigilance in his gaze, he turned his head lightly and asked Aunt Mei again.
