"Are you alright?" Nie Zhao asked.

"No, come here."

Nie Zhao seemed to have misheard: "Now? ”

Jin Zhuoqi let out a "hmm", his voice was hoarse, and he looked like he couldn't lift his emotions.

Nie Zhao still changed his clothes and took a taxi to his house, he slept in the villa, and before Nie Zhao went, he bought himself a strawberry-flavored ice cream on the way to eat, and walked to their door to eat before entering.

There was no one in the living room, but the lights were on, and the whole luxury villa was very empty, and Nie Zhao had to suspect that the lights were turned on for her.

Familiarly went up to his bedroom on the second floor, the door was unlocked, and it was easily pushed open.

She stood at the door and subconsciously wanted to turn on the light, her eyes fell on the bulging bag on the bed, and she didn't know if Jin Zhuoqi was awake.

His sleep is even lighter than Nie Zhao's, and when the light is turned on, people will be awakened if they don't wake up.

What did you call her to do when you fell asleep?

Just as he was about to turn around and close the door to leave, he was stopped by a hoarse voice in the quilt: "What are you leaving?" Turn on the lights. ”

It was so dark in the room.

Nie turned the lamp to see more clearly, Jin Zhuoqi still had a fever-reducing tablet on his forehead, wearing a dark blue satin pajamas, hanging loosely on his body a little improper, the neck did not know whether it was rubbed or what, a little red, the whole person was just lazily leaning on the bed, looking sick and tired.

In the cup next to it, it should be the residue of the medicine that has been drunk, and under the effect of the light, the glass flashes a bright light, which is quite dazzling.

"What did you call me for? You're not afraid of overindulgence. Nie Zhao stood at the door with his chest crossed and looked at him.

Jin Zhuoqi seemed to laugh, his voice was very soft, and only the slight curvature of the corners of his mouth could see the smile just now.

Qi lip beckoned: "Come and sleep with me." ”

Nie Zhao's eyes instantly became weird: "Sleep? Pure sleep you can't find someone else ? ”

Of course, the others she was referring to were Fu Kun and that younger brother Mingzhou, and they should be quite happy.

She and Jin Zhuoqi really can't sleep together, one likes to turn on the light, and the other can't stand a little light.

Every time she fainted, she was thrown by Jin Zhuoqi to sleep in the next room most of the time, and only occasionally Nie Zhao saw him buy himself an eye mask to cover the light.

"You're soft." Jin Zhuoqi commented casually.

Nie Zhao: "......"

There was silence for two seconds, and he undressed.

She likes to sleep naked, so she wore a white bra and opened the quilt and got in, and as soon as she lay in, she was directly grabbed by Jin Zhuoqi's arms.

The difference between height and skeleton, she almost fell into his arms, and her back seemed to be caught in a boiling fire, against his hard chest, burning to death.

Jin Zhuoqi's body had been very hot, and it was close to her skin for a while, making people so hot that they were about to sweat, and feeling the arm holding his abdomen, Nie Zhao tilted his head sideways and glanced at him.

He was at ease, he had closed his eyes and was ready to sleep, his breathing was shallow, and he didn't seem to have much strength to toss.

Nie Zhao looked up at the light above his head, stretched out his hand and shook it in front of his eyes, glancing at the bright light between his fingers.

Catering to the quiet atmosphere of the bedroom, she breathed lightly, and also listened to the frequency of Jin Zhuoqi's chest rising and falling, and whispered, "Otherwise, turn off the light." ”

She tries to see if she can fall asleep, even if she can't fall asleep, it's good to be a qualified pillow.

"Shut up, annoying."

The strength of her waist was then tightened again, Jin Zhuoqi's chin was resting on the back of her shoulder, his hair was pulled aside by him, and his lips were close to his shoulder.

The heavy breath hit the tips of his ears one after another, making Nie Zhao feel numb all over his body.

She leaned sideways and was completely quiet, and her body stiffened after a long period of tense body, until she felt Jin Zhuoqi fall asleep, and then she relaxed her body.

In the silent room, the two of them did not speak again, and even the amplitude of the quilt did not change again.

Nie Zhao looked at the light in the room, and thought of the guitar again, and Jin Zhuoqi's reaction after she scolded that sentence.

She suddenly wanted to ask, and she was suddenly a little afraid of what kind of answer would come after asking that answer, and what kind of change that answer would induce.

Nie Zhao has always known how beautiful he is.

She has been liked since she was a child, from junior high school and high school to the present, there has never been a shortage of suitors, and even in elementary and junior high school, there are scouts who want her to go to other places for training, making her the most perfect idol.

Ke Wenyan, a big-chested and brainless woman, never cared about long-term interests, and she knew that she had to hold Nie Zhao in the palm of her hand to create the greatest value, so as not to waste her raising for so long.

The reason why Nie Zhao has never been in love is also because she never thinks that anyone can be worthy of herself, perhaps it is the appreciation in the eyes of others that makes her arrogant in her bones, she is disgusted with Wen Yan's idea of relying on men to survive, but she also has to follow her to beg for a living, but she appreciates Wen Yan's lack of affection.

Wen Yan knew that she was in a bad position, that she knew that she could use her own appearance to seize opportunities, that she knew that she would use other people's means to achieve her goals, and that she knew that this society was messy, so she obeyed the same stream and went along with it just to get the best for herself.

There is no other advantage, she can only rely on that rather charming face to climb the rich and noble, she knows very well that no one will really love her, and she only wants money.

Raised by her, Nie Zhao has some personalities in her bones that are exactly the same as her, she will not give up if she does not achieve her goal, she is bad, she knows how to obtain greater benefits, and knows that after reporting Meng Xun's early love, Meng Xun will definitely break up with Jiang Ting, they are all moved from Wen Yan as they are, she teaches "very well", and Nie Zhao can also learn to be superb.

But Wen Yan won the battle, and she successfully took the throne to marry Wen Bin, but she didn't tell Nie Zhao that this was wrong.

The arrogance in her bones can't be wiped out from the cleverness, she was raised to be the way she is now, and she was a little incredulous when she first saw the disdain in Meng Xun's eyes, even if she didn't like her, she wouldn't hate her, right?

She couldn't accept that someone looked at her with that kind of abandoned eyes, as if she wanted to dig out her identity as an orphan, her lack of pampered life, her lack of a privileged living environment like Meng Xun, and her past of following Wen Yan's wandering, which made her unable to raise her head when she was only fifteen years old.

She doesn't deny it now, Meng Xun has always looked down on her.

She has always known that she is recruiting, and she knows why those people are willing to approach her, so she disdains to have a deep relationship with anyone, and she is so complacent that she looks down on anyone.

The first time the pride in her bones was smoothed out was because of Meng Xun, and later it was all shattered because of Jin Zhuoqi.

But Meng Xun didn't like her from beginning to end, at least let her feel that she deserved it, maybe venting it on her, Meng Xun would be more relaxed.

After Jiang's hearing was exposed, the Meng family helped Meng Xun apply to study abroad, and after the Meng family collapsed, the family immigrated to Boston.

Her eyes fell on Jin Zhuoqi's wrist under her neck, and she was still wearing the red rope she gave him, which was very clear in her line of sight under the dazzling light.

"Jin Zhuoqi, you-"

Nie Zhao closed his eyes, didn't dare to move, and didn't know if he was asleep.

He opened his lips to say something, but he didn't say anything, but gently flicked the small wooden bead on the red rope with his fingers.

Jin Zhuoqi maintained the posture of holding her, slowly opened his eyes, his eyes fell on the back of her head curled up, his eyes were dark, and he did not say a word, making her think that he was sleeping soundly.

***

Most of the universities in City A began their winter vacation on January 3rd.

Lu Xiang didn't go home directly that day, and it took two or three days to go back by himself, and it wasn't far away anyway.

Nie Zhao resigned from the convenience store, I don't know if it was because of the fermentation on the Internet, many people suddenly put her in the position of the victim, and many up owners squatted in front of the convenience store for traffic to take pictures secretly, and even wanted to interview her and ask her if she felt that Jiang Ting's death was directly related to her.

Nie Zhao was still a little stunned when he first encountered these Internet celebrity media, and in the following days, it became more and more affected by the work of the convenience store, and even if the boss did not say anything about the friendship before he was scruples, Nie Zhao did not have the face to continue working in the convenience store.

She didn't look too much at how the news on the Internet turned upside down, but she was a little confused by those who said she was innocent.

Is she innocent?

It shouldn't be innocent.

Meng Xun said that if it weren't for her, Jiang Ting would not have had suicidal thoughts even if he was under pressure and persecuted by his family.

She originally followed Jin Zhuoqi, but she felt that she had caused these things to herself.

People always have to be punished for what they do, and they can't pay it back until they die.

The dead are the most memorable, and they are the most able to whitewash the peace.

When I left the convenience store, it was as if my whole body had been hollowed out for a while.

She began to do nothing again, and in the days she had just rested, she slept for several days, and when she woke up, apart from staring at her big eyes, she was at home playing the guitar, listening to songs, and watching a lot of movies.

She was still wondering whether to contact Luo Yuxun, Lu Xiang's liking may be very sincere, she really likes someone if she likes it, even if Nie Zhao doesn't quite understand that she will break up with Luo Yuxun and has no reason to take the initiative to get back together, but she hopes that Lu Xiang can be happier.

In the evening, we went to a nearby restaurant to eat beef noodles together, and Nie Zhao also talked about this and asked her if she would like to go to the bar together for a while.

Lu Xiang seemed to have been distracted, and then she suddenly looked at Nie Zhao, reacted very slowly, shook her head and said, "I still want to find a part-time job with a higher salary." ”

Nie Zhao frowned slightly: "Aren't your tuition and living expenses enough?" If it's not enough, I have. ”

Lu Xiang shook his head and said with a smile: "What if it is useful in the future?" Anyway, I'm fine, Luo Yuxun...... Let's not look for him, let's forget it. ”

Nie Zhao had no choice but to say "um", and it was difficult to say anything, the two of them came out of the noodle restaurant after eating, and went to a nearby convenience store to buy oden, and the mobile phone in his pocket buzzed twice, Nie Zhao took it out and saw that it was Jin Zhuoqi who sent it.

Ask her where she is.

Nie Zhao pinched the oden with one hand and typed the words with difficulty with the other.

Lu Xiang leaned over to help her hold it.

She lowered her head and typed as she followed Lu Xiang forward.

Even with her head down, Nie Zhao felt the red light in front of her, she subconsciously lowered her head and stopped, stood behind the zebra crossing and replied to Jin Zhuoqi: [The old ten-character beef on this side of Jisheng Lane is facing each other. 】

As soon as I finished sending it, I saw Lu Xiang who was holding his pocket, and he seemed to be distracted, and he was still moving forward at the red light.

A truck in front of him was speeding past the road, and it seemed that he was too tired to see the two of them standing on the side of the road, and naturally he didn't see Lu Xiang, who was about to cross the road and run a red light.

Nie Zhao didn't hold the phone steadily, and slammed it into the small puddle of uneven water on the ground, the thoughts in his head couldn't keep up with the movements, and he quickly grabbed Lu Xiang's wrist and pulled her back.

Lu Xiang was suddenly dragged and almost fell to the ground.

Unnoticed, the truck driver continued to speed down the road, his wheels running over puddles of water, causing a high splash.

Their clothes were wet.

Nie Zhao clasped her wrist, his fingertips turned white, and he stared at her and frowned, and his voice increased a lot: "What are you doing?" Don't see a red light? ”

Lu Xiang suddenly came back to his senses, looking at Nie Zhao in a daze, and then at her mobile phone that had fallen into the puddle and the oden that had been soiled by the sewage.

Hearing Nie Zhao's words, his eyes suddenly turned red, his fingers clenched the oden in his hand, the paper cup was deflated, and he hung his head and said in a muffled voice: "I'm sorry." ”

Nie Zhao let go of the strength in her hand, took the oden in her hand, and picked up the mobile phone in the water, but it couldn't be turned on.

"What are you doing to say you're sorry? And you're not sorry for me, you usually walk like this? It's easy to know what happened. ”

Lu Xiang shook his head, his voice was still a little choked, and said, "Zhaozhao, let's go buy a new mobile phone." ”

Throwing the oden into the trash, and trying to see if I could turn on the phone, and shaking the water inside, Nie Zhaocai patted her on the shoulder, and his voice slowed down a lot: "No, it's good to be exposed to the sun, why are you crying?" It should have been replaced, and the camera was long gone. ”

"Was it the message that Jin Zhuoqi sent you just now?" Lu Xiang took out his mobile phone from his schoolbag, "Do you want to use my mobile phone to reply?" ”

"It's okay, no, he'll just ask me where I am."

From the tone of the message that came, Nie Zhao could also know that he should not come.
