"You let go of me!" Chen Xi didn't understand why Gao Zhexing suddenly went crazy and wanted to push him away.

The next moment, an electric car whizzed by, and she realized that he wanted to hold her to avoid being hit, and she didn't struggle.

Gao Zhexing had already dragged her back hard and protected her behind her.

Her whole person was shrouded in his tall figure, the wrist was warm and powerful, and the tip of her nose was the unique breath on his body, which made her heart tingle with familiarity.

The owner of the electric car turned his head to look, saw that he didn't hit anyone, slipped faster than a rabbit, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

"Thank you." Chen Xi was a little embarrassed, stroked his frightened chest, and subconsciously broke free of Gao Zhexing's increasingly forceful hand.

Her heart was beating fast, and she didn't know if it was because she was almost hit, or because of his proximity.

Gao Zhexing looked at her with a tense face, his eyes were unknown, and he said coolly: "Walk without looking at the road?" ”

Is he like a beast of prey? In order to avoid him, I almost got hit and didn't know it!

Chen Xi rubbed the wrist that was scratched by him just now, and did not speak, and there was a moment of silence between the two.

Gao Zhexing realized that his tone was a little heavier, and after a while, he lowered his voice and said, "I'll take you to a place." ”

Chen Xi didn't want to go anywhere with him, so he refused neatly, "It's late, I want to go home." ”

After saying that, she turned around and went to the side of the road to wait for the bus, but suddenly the words behind her sounded, "Your aunt's paintings were not burned." ”

Hearing this, Chen Xi turned around suddenly, and there was an unbelievable tremor in his voice, "What did you say?" ”

Gao Zhexing walked towards her, the light of the street lamp was clearly extinguished on his face, illuminating his expression unreal, Chen Xi didn't know if what he said was true or false.

Until he walked up to her, looked down at her, and said, "I have placed those paintings in a restoration studio, if you want to see them, come with me." ”

He put down a decoy and waited for Chen Xi to take the bait.

But the matter of oil painting was too important to Chen Xi, even though she realized that it might be a routine of Gao Zhexing, but she didn't think about it for too long, and said, "Okay." ”

Gao Zhexing raised his hand to stop a taxi, and the two got into the car.

Gao Zhexing said the address to the driver, and the carriage fell into silence.

Chen Xi looked sideways at the window, and from the reflection of the window, she could see that Gao Zhexing had been looking at him, but she didn't look back.

She actually had questions to ask him, like what the hell was going on with those paintings, but for some reason, he didn't say anything, and she didn't want to speak.

Half an hour later, the two came to a three-story white house in Qiushui Villa.

After getting out of the car, Gao Zhexing pointed to the place where the lights were on in the house and said, "The paintings are all inside." ”

Chen Xi looked at the brightly lit room and asked, "When was the painting delivered?" ”

Gao Zhexing: "Actually, before the fire, Mrs. Sato arranged for someone to move the painting out of your aunt's house. I didn't know it at first, but later I found out that the man was half-hearted, creating the illusion that the painting was burned, and then wanted to blackmail you so that he could make money from both parties. ”

Chen Xi was very surprised, she didn't care, and asked the key question, "You knew it for a long time, why didn't you tell me?" ”

Gao Zhexing looked at her and repeated the old words, "I said, I don't want you to get involved in the grievances of the Sato family." At that time, I didn't know that Mrs. Sato had cancer, and if she knew that the painting was not burning, and the painting was back in your hands, she would definitely target you. ”

After Chen Xi listened, he didn't know what to say for a while.

He may have been really good for her at the time, but the last time he was in Japan, he could have told her, but he didn't.

At this time, there was a sound of the door opening on the side of the white house, and Chen Xi saw a middle-aged man coming out of it.

I saw him walk up to Gao Zhexing and say respectfully: "Mr. Gao, you have arrived, and the oil painting restoration has been completed by 80%. ”

Gao Zhexing nodded, and then introduced to Chen Xi: "This is Mr. Dong, the person in charge of the studio. ”

Chen Xi nodded to him, "It's hard work." ”

The man smiled, "Yes, please come up with me for a visit." ”

After a few pleasantries, Chen Xi followed them in.

In a heated room on the second floor, Ren Ying's oil paintings are placed.

Chen Xi saw that many of them had changed their frames, and some of them could be seen at a glance that there were traces of restoration.

Mr. Dong pointed to the ones by the window and said to them, "The ones over there haven't been repaired yet." The imported pigments we ordered will arrive in Hong Kong next week, and it is estimated that the restoration work can be completed in two weeks. ”

Chen Xi walked over to take a look, and Gao Zhexing followed her and explained the reason why the oil painting was sent here, "The painting was accidentally destroyed by the person arranged by Mrs. Sato during transportation, and I wanted to wait for all the restoration work to be completed before telling you." ”

Chen Xi looked at the most seriously damaged one, even if it could be repaired, it would not be the same as before.

She stroked the edge of the table and was silent for a long time before asking, "Why do you say it now?" ”

"Mrs. Sato is no longer able to take care of this, and..." Gao Zhexing wanted to say that he wanted to save her, but there was a third person present, and he didn't say the word "recovery", and instead said, "I don't want you to blame yourself for not keeping these paintings safe." ”

Chen Xi's nose was sour, tears welled up, that day, when she saw the fire scene, she blamed herself too much, and then many nights, she dreamed of Ren Ying, Ren Ying asked her over and over again why she didn't keep those paintings.

She didn't answer, and tilted her head slightly to calm down.

Mr. Dong looked at them for a while, and felt that they should be more suitable for solitude, so he silently retreated.

Hearing the footsteps of Mr. Dong leaving, Gao Zhexing stepped forward and raised his hand to appease Chen Xi, but Chen Xi turned around.

She looked at Gao Zhexing, and saw the depth in his eyes, as if something was surging and brewing, she was the first to speak, saying,

"Thank you for helping me get these paintings back. The cost of the repair, you go back and transfer the list to me, I..."

Gao Zhexing interrupted her, "You want to be so clear with me?" You should know that I'm doing this to get you back. ”

"I know." Chen Xi didn't escape his hot eyes this time, she paused, and then said, "But between us, it has always been a matter of trust, you think you can use your strength to settle everything between us, but that's not what I want." ”

Gao Zhexing knew what she wanted.

There were some things he didn't tell her because he didn't want to expose his dark side too clearly to her.

He sighed, his voice low, "Xixi, sometimes I haven't confessed to you, in my place, there are also my sufferings. ”

Chen Xi pursed her lips, she didn't understand.

Just like the case of Putuo Technology, from the company's standpoint, he did it right, but the emotional matter, if measured by interests, lost its original purity.

She wanted to say that we are not suitable, but she got stuck in her throat when she said it, and she didn't say it in the end, only said, "It's late, let's go back." ”

After saying that, she took the lead and walked out.

Gao Zhexing looked at his resolute back and understood that it was more difficult to save her than he imagined.

Chen Xi saw Mr. Dong at the top of the stairs and asked him for his contact information before leaving.

Walking to the door, she saw that Gao Zhexing's car didn't know when it drove over, Ayou was standing next to the car and smoking, and when he saw them coming out, he put out the cigarette and opened the back seat door to let them get in the car.

However, Chen Xi didn't go in, she had just called a taxi with a taxi app, and the car also drove over.

She walked to the taxi, and before getting into the car, she turned her head to look at Gao Zhexing, who also looked over, his eyes were slightly depressed.

Chen Xi didn't say anything and got into the car.

Ayou looked at the departing taxi and couldn't help but say to Gao Zhe: "Mr. Gao, Miss Chen is sometimes very willful and stubborn..."

Before the word behind him could be spoken, Gao Zhexing's sharp eyes swept towards him, and he suppressed his voice.

Gao Zhexing curled the corners of his lower lip, "I also allow her willfulness." ”

Ah You said in his heart, it must be what you are used to, who dared to blow your face again and again in the past.

After Gao Zhexing got into the car, he said to Ayou: "Follow her car." ”

On the other side, Chen Xi received a phone call halfway through, from home, Chen Songming asked her if she was almost home. Chen Xi glanced at the driver's navigation and told him that there were still 20 minutes before Chen Songming hung up the phone with confidence.

After she introduced the call, the driver looked at her a few times and said, "Girl, the Bentley in the back has been following us." ”

Chen Xi's heart moved, turned around, and looked at the back window, Gao Zhexing's car was not far behind him.

She told the driver, "Leave him alone. ”

The driver teased and asked, "Did you quarrel with your boyfriend?" ”

Chen Xi denied, "No. "Yes, it's also an ex-boyfriend.

The driver looked at her from the rearview mirror and saw that her expression was unnatural, thinking that she was duplicitous, and said quite seriously: "Girl, it is a good thing to be able to quarrel, quarreling is actually a kind of contradiction resolution, spread out the problem, so that it can be solved, the reason why there is a quarrel is to get the attention and understanding of the other party." If you don't even want to quarrel, then it proves that there is actually no common language, and you don't even bother to speak, then you are going to disperse. ”

Chen Xi: "......"

Chen Xi is not a person who is shallow and deep, she knows that the driver may have good intentions, but she has no intention of telling outsiders about her and Gao Zhexing.

Chen Xi was silent, looking sideways at the traffic outside the window.

Seeing that she didn't speak, the driver said again: "The fate between people is rare, if he takes a step back, you look angry, and you take half a step back, and the matter will be solved." The most fearful thing about feelings is that the two people are deadlocked, their hearts are light, and the person is gone. ”

Chen Xi turned her head to look at the back window again, Gao Zhexing's car was still following, and a strange feeling appeared in her heart, a little sour and sad.

She asked the driver, "Is this your experience?" ”

The driver smiled, "Sort of, girl, cherish the person in front of you." ”

Chen Xi didn't answer anymore, the driver didn't say anything more, returned to Yijing Garden, Chen Xi looked back, and after the taxi drove into the community, Gao Zhexing's car turned around and left.

This night, Chen Xi had insomnia.
