In the box.

The man who made the tea had long since left.

Only one person sat behind the screen, his long hair was draped casually, and he was so beautiful that people didn't dare to look at it directly.

"Boss, this is what the young lady left behind."

The manager repeated what Li Zhi said just now.

The red string bracelet was also taken over by the bodyguards.

The manager knew that this was the answer, so he didn't speak, turned around and quickly left the box.

The man behind the screen glanced at the red rope bracelet that the bodyguard had received, and reached out to take it, the red rope has indeed aged a lot over the years, but it is definitely not as "old" as Li Zhi said.

The man shook his head softly and let out a long sigh.

"Didn't I tell the kid that he was safe, how could he dare to take it off."

His slender fingers clenched the red rope, thinking of the little crying bag he had seen crying silently in front of his mother's tombstone.

Like her mother, no matter how wronged she is, she cries without a sound.

At that time, he was standing behind the curtain not far from the cemetery, watching the little girl kneel in front of the tomb for a long time after everyone left.

And his biological father, after leaving the cemetery, hurried to the small home outside.

"Head of the family, Miss Li's engagement gift has arrived."

The man put away the red rope bracelet in his hand and slowly got up on the sofa, and soon someone came up and put his coat on him.

"Let's go." Go and see the son of the deceased.

The man left the teahouse through a door outside, and there was a car waiting there early.

He got into the middle car, escorted by five or six cars in front of him, and soon disappeared into the night.

……

After being taken home by Tan Jiuzhou, Li Zhi told Tan Jiuzhou what happened to him today.

Knowing that she already had a guess about the identity of the "person who invited tea" in her heart, Tan Jiuzhou didn't say much.

Only promised her what she needed, despite talking to him.

"There's no hurry, you can always see it."

Anyway, the engagement banquet is tomorrow night, and she should be able to meet this person tomorrow.

The ceremony and process of engagement are no less than getting married, and they will get up early tomorrow, and Li Zhi and Tan Jiuzhou will go to bed early.

In his dream, Li Zhi seemed to see the mysterious person from his childhood again.

Although every time she went to pay homage to her mother, a bouquet of lily of the valley would always arrive before her, but she was not completely unaware of the mysterious man.

Several times, on her way, she could see a car coming out of the cemetery.

Although the car is different every time, Li Zhi always has a feeling that the person sitting in it is the mysterious person who gives her mother lily of the valley flowers and jewelry every year.

She didn't know if her grandfather knew about it.

Anyway, her scumbag who has already been imprisoned absolutely doesn't know.

Because except for the first few years, Han Zhengshu would wait outside, waiting for Li Zhi and his mother to finish before leaving together.

In the following ten years, after he and the Li family worshiped together, he left in a hurry because the company had something to do.

In her previous life, she was blind and couldn't see the true face of her scumbag father, but in this life, she was sober-minded, and she also asked people to check where Han Zhengshu went every year after leaving the cemetery.

Sure enough, I went to the house outside.

Thinking of the past, Li Zhi's heart was a little bored, and he had no sleepiness after waking up from his sleep.

She knew how busy Tan Jiuzhou had been these days, and she couldn't bear to wake him up, so Li Zhi lifted the quilt and got up, put on his coat and went out of the room.

This room is on the top floor and overlooks the most prosperous night view of the entire port city.

The city that never sleeps, deserves to be the city that never sleeps.

Even if it's late at night, the scenery outside the floor-to-ceiling windows is absolutely beautiful.

Li Zhi sat on the sofa on the balcony of the living room, covered with a thin blanket, and the room was heated, but it was not cold.

Think about the past.

It's a shame to say that although she had memories when her mother left, she was too young after all, and over the years, she was about to forget what her mother looked like.

"Mom...... Is that the person you are hiding in your heart? ”

In the interval when she couldn't sleep, on the top of the mountain not far away, there was also a man who couldn't sleep.

Unlike Li Zhi, he has been unable to sleep for more than ten years.

He was holding a very small photograph in his hand, which looked like it had been torn out of something, a small ID photo.

The girl wore a ponytail and looked at the camera with a bright smile.

is different from Li Zhiming's glamorous appearance, the girl in the photo has a scholarly temperament, crescent-like smiling eyes, and two small pear vortices, not to mention how good-looking it is.

To this day, he will never forget the first time he met her.

"Li Wu...... You're so ruthless. The man muttered softly, the bottle on the table beside him already slowing down.

In the small corner on the other side, it happened to be Li Zhi's red rope bracelet.

……

Tan Jiuzhou habitually reached out to hug the people around him, but he felt a coldness.

He got up, turned on the light, and there was no one else in the room.

Finally, I found Li Zhi on the balcony of the living room.

Hearing the movement, Li Zhi looked back at him, "Why did you wake up?" ”

"Get used to cuddling you to sleep, just don't hug you."

"Nothing serious."

Tan Jiuzhou was not afraid of her laughing at herself, walked to her and sat down, and hugged her tightly with a blanket, "Something?" ”

Li Zhi didn't hide it: "I think of my mother." ”

He can understand how she feels at the moment, after all, other people's engaged parents are there, her mother died early, and the scumbag father is such a virtue.

No matter how good his parents are to her in the future, they are not her biological parents after all, and the feeling in his heart must be different.

Tan Jiuzhou could only do his best to be better to her, he didn't say any other comforting words, and hugged her to watch the night scene outside.

Afraid that he would catch a cold, Li Zhi pulled out the blanket and wrapped him together, the corners of Tan Jiuzhou's mouth rose, and the hand holding her tightened again.

The other hand gently patted her on the back and whispered, "I'm with you, and I'll sleep in my arms when I'm sleepy." ”

It may be that his familiar breath reassured her, and the mood that was still a little upset began to calm down, Li Zhi leaned on his arms, listening to his steady heartbeat, and gradually became sleepy.

I was afraid that the movement would be too loud, so Li Zhi woke up again.

Tan Jiuzhou so you hugged her to sleep on the sofa, fortunately, the viewing sofa on the balcony was big enough, and Li Zhi slept in his arms, to put it bluntly, he was the only one who occupied the space, and the space was quite rich.

The heating in the house was sufficient, and the thin blanket on the sofa was still a little hot, and the next day Li Zhi was awakened by the sun.

When I woke up, I found that I was still on the sofa, and the whole person was held in my arms by Tan Jiuzhou, and my body was still covered with a blanket, no wonder the more I slept, the hotter it became.

As soon as she moved, Tan Jiuzhou woke up.

Glancing at the time in the room, he patted Li Zhi's back and coaxed softly, "It's still early, you can sleep a little longer." ”
