The warm glow of the droplet-shaped floor lamp sets off a quiet and soft atmosphere in the main living room, where the central air-conditioning works and the occasional warm breeze blows through the fine fluff on the white feathers that decorate the frosted lampshade.

Shi Yan stretched out his hand, picked up the girl who was asleep on the sofa, and then stood up on his knees After going through this series of movements, the person in his arms showed no sign of waking up.

……

The boy stepped on the soft wool carpet, because of the action of reaching out and hugging, some bones protruded from the broad and thin back, and the creases printed on the white T-shirt were very thin, but they did not appear weak at all, but the back of the whole person faintly revealed a cold and restrained sense of strength.

The halo of the floor lamp fell on him, his side face was delicate and clear, his long eyelashes moved slightly, and he lowered his eyes to look at the girl who was leaning on his chest at this time, breathing lightly and had fallen asleep, and his eyes stayed between her clean and delicate eyebrows for a moment.

He repeated it again, and the original low-magnetic voice was a little softer than just now.

"I called you, but you didn't wake up."

She's really light.

Shi Yan stood in place with the person in his arms and stood there for a while, not feeling any weight.

“……”

After a slight pause, Shi Yan turned on her toes and took her directly to the bedroom where she slept.

One of the bedrooms in the suite alone is very large, and when you open the door, you can enter the front of the living room, and you can go around the small living room to see a four-poster bed with a light curtain.

Probably because she has lived here for a while, the thick bedding on the bed is a relatively fresh color, which is the type that girls will only preference.

Shi Yan put the person down, so that her head could rest on the pillow, and covered the quilt for her. The girl nestled in the soft big bed, and her originally slender body looked even smaller.

He turned to the side and raised his hand to turn the lamp to the darkest level, not completely turning it off, but it didn't interfere with sleep. If she had woken up in the middle of the night, she would not have faced the dark room.

……

Shi Yan came out of Sheng Kite's bedroom and prepared to go to the room where he lived.

And right now.

The mobile phone in the palm of his hand suddenly vibrated twice, usually his mobile phone only vibrated once when new news came, but this time, it vibrated directly twice-

Shi Yan immediately froze the door, glanced at his mobile phone, and saw that the lit screen did show a new message prompt.

It's just that this pop-up window interface is neither the text message that comes with the phone, nor is it, but a pure black mechanical frame.

The young man just lowered his eyes and watched, and there was no emotion on his cold face.

……

**

Even if it's nightfall.

The front of the corridor of the Sunshine Hotel is still brightly lit.

A uniformed waiter caught a sharp glimpse of a black Bentley slowly approaching the other side, remembering the names of some of the hotel's more valuable customers.

"Mr. Xu."

Bentley stopped steadily in front of the hall, and the waiter passed in an orderly manner, pulling the car door with both hands.

The man who got down from the back seat was Xu Lizhi, who had just returned from a psychiatrist.

The man was holding the phone to his ear at this time, making a call, and he bent down to get out of the car while answering the phone on the other end.

The waiter who stepped forward to park his car was slightly surprised.

Because he didn't know who was on the other end of the phone, the man had always been indifferent, and there was a hint of eased helplessness between his unruly eyebrows at this time, and his originally calm voice became gentle when he spoke.

I saw the man raise his hand and rub his eyebrows, but he still spoke patiently.

"Mother, I really don't need you to worry about me anymore, I've been used to it for so many years."

“……”

It was Xu's mother who called Xu Lizhi who was far away in France.

She has always regarded her son's insomnia, which has been a major illness since he was young. I don't know how many relevant materials I have consulted for Xu Lizhi and how many relevant experts I have visited, but his insomnia symptoms have never improved.

Every time she thought about it, she couldn't sleep all night.

Xu Lizhi naturally understands his mother's good intentions, so he has always asked him to see a psychiatrist for what his mother asked him to do in order for him to recover, although he himself had long lost hope, he would still do it without saying a word.

"Well, that psychiatrist is very professional." The man's voice was low.

“……”

"Everything is fine on my side."

“……”

Xu Lizhi comforted his mother on the phone as he strode towards the hotel.

The assistant followed him, keeping his mouth shut so as not to disturb him on the phone.

It's just that when they were just about to pass by the hotel front desk, the man in front of them suddenly paused, so that the assistant who was patronizing and walking almost hit his back, but fortunately stopped the car in time.

……

Mother was on the other end of the phone to ask Xu Lizhi about the recent situation these days, and by the way, she explained that in the near future, most of the family's industrial direction has been successfully handed over to Beijing.

This also means that in the near future, the focus of the Xu family will finally return to the family circle in Beijing and take root and develop.

Xu Lizhi's father is nostalgic for the past, even if he has lived in France for so many years, he still wants to return to his homeland.

Mother Xu: "It should be less than a month, and I will follow your father to Beijing." ”

It's good that they decided on these things, Xu Lizhi mostly focused on filming, and he didn't have any opinions, so he only opened his mouth to respond.

Holding the mobile phone in his hand, he raised his silver-gray eyes a little casually, and was about to cross the reception desk of the hotel when a teenager wearing a dark sweatshirt and trousers, a baseball cap and a mask walked up.

……

The brightly lit hall is filled with people, waiters and customers who come to live in a chaotic manner.

Although the boy's whole body was tightly wrapped and did not show a trace of his appearance, Xu Lizhi still noticed this person with outstanding temperament at a glance in the crowd.

He subconsciously turned the phone away from his ears and froze his gaze.

The boy didn't notice his gaze, but it would be more appropriate to say that he was completely unaware of anything in the accident world, and as he walked, the black eyes that occasionally appeared under the brim of his baseball cap were beautiful but cold, and his breath was as cold as a glacier.

He almost passed by Xu Lizhi.

“……”

"Brother Lizhi, what's wrong?"

The assistant's puzzled voice behind him sounded, Xu Lizhi came back to his senses, and heard his mother on the other end of the phone ask him with concern why he suddenly didn't say anything, what happened.

He immediately whispered that it was okay.

Then, as if it was just a 'trivial' episode, I continued to walk towards the elevator of the VIP suite over there.
