Chapter 4

When Zhou Xiaomeng woke up, she felt limp and sweaty all over.Aunt Li helped her up, fed her half a glass of water, and told her, "Miss, you have a fever."

She had a dream all night, and she was still in a trance like a dream.Aunt Li adjusted the head of the bed to make her lie more comfortably, and asked, "Would you like something to eat?"

Zhou Xiaomeng had a severe sore throat, and he didn't know if it was the aftereffect of the anesthetic yesterday, or because of a cold and fever, so he just asked in a hoarse voice, "What time is it?"

"10:30." Knowing her habits, Aunt Li walked over and opened the heavy blackout curtains, opened the window only halfway, and said, "Miss, your fever just subsided, so don't blow the air."

Zhou Xiaomeng felt weak all over, half leaned against the head of the bed, and said in a low voice, "There is class."

"Xiao Guang called to go to school and asked for two days off for you."

Zhou Xiaomeng wanted to close her eyes tiredly. Her room was facing the southeast corner of the courtyard wall. She glanced over unintentionally, but saw a colorful thing hanging on the treetop outside the courtyard wall. :"what is that?"

Aunt Li looked at it and said, "I don't know which naughty ghost's balloon ran away, and it floated over and got tangled in a tree." Looking back, she saw Zhou Xiaomeng got up from the bed, and hurried up to help her Hold her, "Miss, sleep a little longer."

Zhou Xiaomeng saw the hydrogen balloon, which was the head of Pleasant Goat, entwined on the branch and swaying slightly with the wind.She closed her eyes and said, "It's okay, I'm sweating and I want to take a bath."

Aunt Li knew that she would take a long time in the shower, so she gave her her bathrobe and withdrew.Zhou Xiaomeng locked the door of the room, and then locked the door of the bathroom, turned on the faucet of the bathtub, and let the water "squeak" before calling Xiao Sizhi.

"Mr. Xiao, hello, I'm sick, and my family asked me for two days off. I want to tell you as well."

"Okay. Are you okay? I went to dinner last night and saw that you were robbed by others. There were many people on the other side. I was alone. It looked bad, so I yelled 'fire'. Fortunately, many people rushed over , Those gangsters ran away."

Zhou Xiaomeng knew that this was his speech to the outside world, so she said, "Thank you, Mr. Xiao, fortunately you passed by."

"You're welcome, your brother thanked you for you last night."

Zhou Xiaomeng froze for a moment, Zhou Yanzhao?Has he met Xiao Sizhi?Is this the purpose of Xiao Sizhi releasing the balloon?Zhou Yanzhao didn't care about being robbed at all, why did he see Xiao Sizhi?

"Your brother is very concerned about you, and asked me a lot of questions about you: how are your grades, how do you get along with your classmates, and who do you like to hang out with after class?" Xiao Sizhi paused, and then said, "Your brother said that he didn't expect to be robbed so close to the school. I hope the school will pay more attention to the safety of the students. Well, when you recover from illness, come to my office."

Xiao Sizhi obviously had something to say to her, but he was afraid that she would be monitored at home, so he spoke in a very cryptic manner.

"Okay, thank you Teacher Xiao."

"You take care of yourself. Goodbye."

"Goodbye."

She took a shower, put on a clean bathrobe, and felt a lot more relaxed.There were still pills and water glasses scattered on the bedside table. She picked them up and looked at them. They were cold medicine and antipyretics. She had already taken them once, but she had no memory of them at all.Probably because she slept so deeply last night that she didn't even know Aunt Li came into the room.

Although the fever subsided, she was still tired. She lifted the quilt and planned to sleep again, when she suddenly saw a hair on the snow-white pillow.It's short hair, black and hard.

She has a cleanliness freak, and the sheets are changed every day.This hair is obviously not hers.She reached out to twist her hair up, stared blankly for a moment, then picked up the phone and called Zhou Yanzhao.

Xiaoguang answered the phone, she asked, "Where's brother?"

"He has something to do and is busy."

"Tell him to answer the phone."

Xiaoguang was not moved at all, and repeated: "Brother Ten is busy."

She hung up the phone, suddenly feeling hopeless.He opened the closet, took a random set of clothes and changed into it, and went downstairs.

Seeing her, Aunt Li couldn't help but froze for a moment: "Miss? Are you down? What do you want to eat?"

"I want to go out for a walk."

"I'll call the driver."

"I'll take a taxi out."

Aunt Li said: "Young Master Ten has ordered that the outside is very chaotic these days, so let the driver follow you."

"When did he say that?"

Aunt Li was stunned again, and said, "It's been a few days..."

"What time did he come back last night?"

Aunt Li smiled guiltily and said, "I went to bed early last night, so I don't know if Master Ten has come back or not."

"Forget it, you go and call the driver."

In fact, she didn't want to go out, she just didn't want to stay at home.After getting in the car, the driver asked her: "Miss, where do you want to go?" Only then did Zhou Xiaomeng realize that the driver had changed. It was not Lao Yang who often picked her up, but Zhou Yanzhao's driver.Zhou Xiaomeng only knows that his surname is Jia, and he is usually taciturn, but he is very similar to Xiaoguang.

"Go to the hospital."

She hadn't come to the hospital for several days, and she could visit her mother twice a month. If she came secretly, or more than this number, Zhou Yanzhao had plenty of ways to make her regret, so she didn't dare to go one step further.She still has one more chance this month, but if she uses it up today, it will be gone.

The hospital is always like this, Ye Sirong's ward is very clean, only the monotonous sound of instruments working.The nurse had just scrubbed and washed Ye Sirong. Her head had been swollen since the craniotomy, her face was deformed badly, and she couldn't see her beautiful face back then.

Zhou Xiaomeng sat down in front of the hospital bed clutching her bag, and called "Mom" softly.

"I'm pretty good, and I'm pretty good at school... There's a boy chasing me who studies medicine, but I haven't decided whether to agree to him or not. After all, I feel like I'm still young...Mom, if you It would be great if you can wake up, and you can give me an idea. I took two more courses this semester, but our major takes five years to graduate. After graduation, I can take care of you by myself... I don't know if the new nurse is good or not, did she hurt you..."

She talked a lot, and when it came to dry mouth, most of it was lies, and she often paused in the middle of the talk, because she didn't know what to say.She was unwilling to tell the truth. The doctor had already said that Ye Sirong's cerebral cortex was dead and he was irreversibly comatose. Although he still had a heartbeat, he could only rely on the life support system to maintain his breathing.

In this world, she may be the only one who still hopes that Ye Sirong can hear her.

She sat by her mother's bed for a long, long time until it was getting late.The nurse came in to instill the nutrient solution, and greeted her after seeing her: "Miss Zhou, are you visiting your mother again?"

"Ah."

"This month's fee has arrived, but the price of a few medicines has increased, and next month's fee may be several hundred yuan more. Dr. Xu asked me to tell you."

"OK, thanks."

After the nurse left, she also stood up and said to the ignorant Ye Sirong on the bed: "Mom, I'm leaving. I'll come see you later."

Every time she came out of the hospital, she was reluctant to go home, so she asked the driver to take her to a fast food restaurant and bought a hamburger to satisfy her hunger.Master Jia seldom followed her, and was surprised to see her eating fast food, but Zhou Yanzhao's people kept their duty and didn't ask any questions that shouldn't be asked.After eating, she asked the driver to take her to the mall again.The driver was probably told by Zhou Yanzhao, and followed her step by step. When she saw her enter the underwear franchise store, he still followed her in.

"You wait for me at the door."

The driver didn't say no, he just said, "Brother Guang explained it."

When Zhou Xiaomeng thought of Xiaoguang's cold face, he felt as if he had touched a cold and hard wall.Without saying much at the moment, I picked out a few pajamas and put them on the cash register for payment.

The driver wanted to carry the paper bag for her, and she shrank into his arms, so the driver followed her all the way to the garage.Suddenly seeing someone standing beside their car from a distance, the driver's first reaction was to block her behind.The man was standing by the side of the car smoking, and when he saw them, he threw the cigarette butt away. The driver heaved a sigh of relief: "Brother Ten." Immediately he called again, "Why are you here alone?"

Not far away, a Mercedes-Benz flashed its headlights in response. It was the bodyguard's car. Zhou Yanzhao lit another cigarette, and the lighter illuminated his side face. It was impossible to tell whether it was anger or joy.The driver stepped forward to open the car door, and Zhou Xiaomeng obediently sat in the back seat.

Zhou Yanzhao was lazy and didn't drink, but he didn't bother to talk.As soon as he sat down, he stretched out his arms to rest on the back of the chair, and Zhou Xiaomeng stuffed a bunch of paper bags under his feet, and said, "It costs me all the clothes, and you don't feel bad about it, you can buy so many as soon as you buy them. "

Zhou Xiaomeng didn't speak, but turned to look out of the car window.The car had just driven out of the underground garage of the shopping mall. The market was bustling when the street lights shone in. The car was full of smoke from Zhou Yanzhao's puffing of clouds.But the window couldn't be opened, so the driver turned on the ventilation function and opened the sunroof a little, which was slightly better.Zhou Xiaomeng was silent all the way, until she returned to Zhou's house, someone came to open the door, and she wanted to carry the paper bag for her, but she still insisted on carrying it by herself.

"What baby?" Zhou Yanzhao sneered, and took a look at it. It turned out to be a translucent lace underwear hooked on his finger, not as big as a handkerchief.Zhou Yanzhao was startled for a moment, then laughed.The driver and the servant next to him pretended not to see it, Zhou Xiaomeng was angry and embarrassed, but Zhou Yanzhao thought it was amused, and looked at her evilly: "What taste? I don't even look at this color, you wear it ?Super ugly!"

Zhou Xiaomeng snatched the clothes from his hand, carried the paper bag and went upstairs angrily.As soon as he stepped into his bedroom, he was about to slam the door, but was stopped by Zhou Yanzhao: "You bought everything, show me if you don't wear it?"

"Who said I bought it to wear for you to see?"

"Who is it for?"

"I'm happy if I don't wear it for anyone to see!"

Zhou Yanzhao snatched a few paper bags from her hand, dumped them all on the bed, picked and picked for a while, and finally pointed to a set: "Wear this."

"Don't wear it!" Zhou Xiaomeng grabbed the clothes and stuffed them into the bag randomly.Zhou Yanzhao laughed, and lay on her bed, slowly: "Didn't you just visit your mother today, and bought these things on purpose, what kind of Joe do you want? You want to seduce men, but you are very knowledgeable, and you can't hang them well. Just annoy people, and you will be dumbfounded if you don’t lose money if you steal chickens.”

Zhou Xiaomeng said coldly: "I don't know what a man's appetite is. Speaking of which, I haven't even had a serious relationship. Unlike you, I have had more girlfriends than I have ever known in my life."

Zhou Yanzhao seemed to be very happy: "I have made progress, I pretended to be pretty, at least, I pretended better than last time."

Zhou Xiaomeng watched him for a full 3 minutes, then suddenly pulled down her zipper, took off her skirt, found out the set of underwear he just pointed out from the paper bag, took off the underwear and changed it, and then lifted it up. Start to look at him: "Satisfied?"

The window was not closed, and the cool night wind blew on my body, making my skin crawl.Zhou Yanzhao hummed, not knowing whether he was happy or unhappy.Zhou Xiaomeng saw him half leaning against the head of the bed, arms folded, looking dispensable, couldn't help feeling angry, picked up the skirt on the floor, put it on again, turned around and walked out.Zhou Yanzhao was faster than her. Just as she turned the doorknob, he had already closed the door with a "bang", turned Zhou Xiaomeng's face, bit her lip hard, and bit her teeth deeply. Only after Yin let go, his breath still occupied her breath domineeringly: "Why go to see your mother today?"

"Remind yourself who made her lie there and nobody knows."

"Oh!" He sneered, "Then I have to be careful." As he said, he pulled her into his arms, grabbed her arm, and pushed her down on the bed.Zhou Xiaomeng smiled softly, and stretched out her arms around his neck: "Brother, do you like me or not?"

Zhou Yanzhao laughed loudly, and while kissing her, he unbuttoned her clothes: "I like you? What makes you so affectionate?"

"It's best if you don't like me." Zhou Xiaomeng's eyes were shining, watery, and his eyes were watering. "In this way, I can like you a little less..." She raised her face and kissed him, but Zhou Yanzhao avoided her Kiss, and said: "It's too much, it's no fun."

He let her go, sat aside, and lit a cigarette again. Through the smoke, Zhou Xiaomeng only felt that he was tall and far away from him.She sat up slowly, grabbed the sheet to wrap herself, and asked Zhou Yanzhao: "Then do you like Sun Lingxi?"

"What right do you have to ask me this?"

Zhou Xiaomeng said: "Yeah, I'm a fool, don't bother me." She got up and went to the bathroom, turned on the tap, started to brush her teeth, took a shower after brushing her teeth, and came out after a long time.I thought Zhou Yanzhao had left long ago, but he was still sitting there smoking, one after another. Although the window was open, the room was still filled with a strong smell of smoke.

She didn't bother to care anymore, she lifted the quilt on the other side and lay down to sleep.But Zhou Yanzhao asked, "Why are you crying in the bathroom?"

"I didn't cry."

"Don't dream, I don't like you at all. If you talk about the relationship between brother and sister, our little relationship will be over long ago."

Zhou Xiaomeng still turned his back to him, and said in a very firm voice, "If you want it, get out if you don't!"

Zhou Yanzhao twisted out the cigarette, turned her face over, saw the wet tears on her face, and couldn't help narrowing her eyes slightly: "Wipe the tears, go outside and see, which one sells like you, and puts it on display all day long. A dejected face!"

"I've never seen it for sale." Zhou Xiaomeng wiped away the tears indiscriminately, and her tone couldn't help being sour, "My brother must have seen a lot, why don't you teach me!"

Zhou Yanzhao smiled: "Okay, I will teach you well!"

Zhou Xiaomeng was in excruciating pain, her whole body was twisted into a twist, and her waist was about to break. Zhou Yanzhao was probably really angry and showed no mercy.Only then did Zhou Xiaomeng realize that he was quite restrained in the past, but she was really scared when he played all kinds of tricks today.Zhou Yanzhao was like a devil, but smiled calmly: "What are you shaking?"

Zhou Xiaomeng felt like a fish.When Zhou Binli was a child, Zhou Binli took her to the boat to eat seafood. The freshly caught fish from the river was still bouncing in the ice tray, so the chef held him down and quickly sliced ​​the fish into thin slices, until the whole fish fillet came out. , the gills of the fish head are still moving, and the mouth is still opening and closing.

Such a cruel scene left a deep impression on her when she was a child. Now she feels that she is the fish, which was cut into thin slices by a sharp knife, and then mixed with soy sauce and mustard, and swallowed piece by piece.It hurts, it hurts.But Zhou Yanzhao tied his hands with a towel, and his fingers could only pick the bed sheet weakly.She broke out in a cold sweat, but Zhou Yanzhao was still terribly sober, and slowly concocted her: "What? Is it uncomfortable? With a bitter face, laughing and laughing, remember to smile when you come out to sell, otherwise, why should a man give it to you?" Money for you?"

She was in so much pain that she couldn't even recite poems and songs, so she could only murmur "Mom" in her heart, as if those two words were a magic spell, and chanting them a thousand or ten thousand times would relieve the pain.At the end of the reading, she was actually in a semi-faint state. She didn't even know what she was muttering, but she knew that Zhou Yanzhao's sneering face was swaying back and forth in front of her eyes. In the end, she really fainted.

She only fainted for a moment before being woken up by Zhou Yanzhao's slap in the face: "Zhou Xiaomeng!"

She smiled bleakly, Zhou Yanzhao didn't expect her to be able to laugh at this time.Originally there was a lump on his forehead, but he bumped into the pillar at the head of the bed just now, there was a red mark on his forehead, but his face was pale, it looked like this smile was not like a smile, but like a cry.He heard her murmuring: "Brother... Believe it or not, I really... liked you..."

When Zhou Yanzhao heard this sentence, he didn't know why he felt even more hatred, and he stood up fiercely. Zhou Xiaomeng shivered from the pain, bowed his waist like a shrimp, and began to mutter again.Sometimes Zhou Yanzhao knew what she was talking about, and they were all very strange things, sometimes it was texts in textbooks, sometimes it was poems, and sometimes it was other things he had never heard of.Most of the time she didn't read aloud, but sometimes when she was dizzy, she would whisper a sentence from her lips, like chanting a scripture.

He remembered that for the first time, she didn't cry, she was just frightened. It wasn't until the end that she seemed to understand what happened. She slowly pulled the sheet over to cover her body, and kept shrinking until the end. Going to the corner of the bed, with his head hanging down, like a broken doll, trembling.Zhou Yanzhao thought at the time, as long as she cries, give her two slaps.But she didn't cry in the end, she just called out "Zhou Yanzhao" softly.

That was the first and last time she called his name. She also made a fuss at the beginning, silently, while he was asleep, holding the scissors and knife with the cold blade resting on his neck, Forcing him to let her and her mother go.And he just laughed softly: "Where are you going? Zhou Xiaomeng, you just stab me, and before you step out of this room, you will be beaten into a hornet's nest, believe it or not? I know you don't want to live, but you Once you die, I can't guarantee that someone will not spoil your mother's corpse."

Zhou Xiaomeng's eyes were wide open, his pupils shrank sharply, and his shadow was reflected in his eyes.He has seen many people who are desperate and dying, like this, and he is really worried that she will jump off the stairs one day, or that she will not think about cutting her own artery for a while.But no, finally Zhou Xiaomeng accepted the reality, and she even still called him brother.

To be honest, every time Zhou Xiaomeng called his brother on the bed, he would feel very excited. This excitement has nothing to do with feelings, but with lust.Zhou Xiaomeng is his younger sister. Although they are not related by blood, they grew up together, which made him feel like an incestuous illusion.Men will have some strange daydreams, so sometimes Zhou Xiaomeng can make him feel satisfied.

But none of them was as satisfying as tonight. In the end, he felt that he was about to lose his mind, and each time he hit harder.Zhou Xiaomeng put her hands on him weakly, her eyes drooping slightly, and finally when Zhou Yanzhao took a deep breath and muttered something, she only heard the word "Lingxi" clearly, and he fell down.

Zhou Xiaomeng slowly turned her head away, trying to get further away from him.Zhou Yanzhao refused to let her go, closed his eyes slightly, pressed his sweaty forehead on the pillow, and said, "Why are you crying?"

"I didn't cry."

Zhou Yanzhao laughed: "I only earned five thousand at a time, and I have cried twice, and I owe me one thousand."

"I'm going to take a shower!"

"What's going on between you and Xiao Sizhi from your school?"

Zhou Xiaomeng's body froze, and she tried her best to stay calm, lest she might show any flaws: "Mr. Xiao? What are you asking him for?"

"I heard he saved you."

"He passed by."

"Didn't you make an appointment to have dinner together?"

Zhou Xiaomeng sneered: "If I asked him out for dinner, why would I be robbed?"

"Xiao Sizhi's skills are good, even one-on-eight has not been snatched away by anyone."

"What do you want to say?"

"I checked with someone. The person surnamed Xiao turned out to be a student of physical education. His parents were running a small business. They found connections and joined your school as a counselor. They just started this semester."

Zhou Xiaomeng smiled and said, "I really like Mr. Xiao, he is very handsome!"

Zhou Yanzhao stared at her for two seconds before saying, "I really like it?"

"Yeah, and Teacher Xiao is nice to me..." She knew that the more ambiguous she said at this time, the less suspicious Zhou Yanzhao would be.So he simply put his arms around Zhou Yanzhao's neck, and asked coquettishly, "Brother, are you jealous?"

Zhou Yanzhao pulled her arm down and said, "Don't pretend, even if you bring someone surnamed Xiao to your house and play a live erotic palace in front of me, do you think I'm jealous?"

Zhou Xiaomeng's eyes flickered, she got up and said, "I'm going to take a shower."

"Since you like that Xiao so much." Zhou Yanzhao's voice sounded slowly, "I will take good care of him..."

Zhou Xiaomeng turned her head in confusion and glanced at him.

"Your teacher Xiao has a hobby, you must not know about it?"

"what?"

"Playing baccarat, and playing it extremely well. It's not enough for him to fill in all his salary."

Zhou Xiaomeng asked: "Is he also involved in this kidnapping?"

"That's not true. I know who the person who kidnapped you this time is."

Zhou Xiaomeng said: "I am a student, and I enter the school all day long. Those people kidnapped me, and they came for you. You do things outside, and you have a little bit of virtue. Anyway, you don't have to let go of my life and death." In my heart, I'm just afraid that when the time comes, people will make their minds on your sweetheart."

"Who is my sweetheart?"

"What's there to pretend?" Zhou Xiaomeng said contemptuously, "It's Sun Lingxi."

Zhou Yanzhao laughed, and at the end of the laugh, he picked up the cigarette case on the bedside table, lit a cigarette, took a puff, exhaled a large amount of smoke, and said unhurriedly: "Zhou Xiaomeng, you pretend to pretend all day long. Go, just pretend to be the most similar this time."

Zhou Xiaomeng went to class after taking two days of sick leave. Because she missed several classes, she borrowed a classmate's notes to make a photocopy, and happened to meet Xiao Sizhi in the photocopy shop outside the school gate.Zhou Xiaomeng was not sure whether he had chosen this place to meet on purpose, or just met by chance, so he smiled and called out: "Mr. Xiao."

Xiao Sizhi came to copy some materials. Zhou Xiaomeng happened to have no change, so Xiao Sizhi gave the money along with it. Zhou Xiaomeng then said: "Mr. Xiao, let me treat you to a drink."

Xiao Sizhi agreed with a smile, and the two of them went to the small supermarket to buy drinks, and walked while drinking, chatting casually, in the eyes of others, it seemed perfectly normal.Xiao Sizhi held the photocopied materials in one hand and a bottle of green tea in the other. Although he was smiling, his tone was quite serious: "I asked you to go to my office, why don't you go? You are on sick leave these two days, Are you really sick?"

Zhou Xiaomeng knew that there was no one around, and no one could hear their conversation, but she still felt very worried and said, "My brother has asked someone to check you. I'm afraid he will be suspicious."

"What did your brother say?"

"He said you played baccarat and gambled a lot."

Xiao Sizhi smiled and said: "He is really cautious, he must have found out how much usury I owe..."

What Zhou Xiaomeng wanted to ask all the time was something else: "Why did you save me that day? Have you been following me?"

"The boss has told you that you must protect your personal safety. I was a little presumptuous when I acted that day, but those people were well-trained and not ordinary kidnappers. I'm afraid your life is in danger." Xiao Sizhi said, " Luckily, I studied sports in college, so if I'm better at it, it won't make him suspicious, so I rushed forward."

"What if..." Zhou Xiaomeng felt very worried, "My brother is moody, he saw you that night... maybe it wasn't because you saved me..."

"The boss has made arrangements, so don't worry." Xiao Sizhi said, "Actually, I was in a hurry to find you because of another matter, Sun Lingxi's background is problematic."

Zhou Xiaomeng's heart skipped a beat and asked, "What?"

Xiao Sizhi was still smiling, and reminded her: "Don't be nervous, you are talking to the counselor, don't look so nervous. I don't have the right to announce that you have failed any subject."

"I'm sorry." She just couldn't be like him, she was clearly talking about big things, but it seemed like a joke, and being seen from a distance, she must think they were talking about irrelevant gossip.

"You haven't received professional training, so the boss is very worried and told me to take good care of you." Xiao Sizhi said, "The boss asked me to tell you not to inquire about anything at home, so that Zhou Yanzhao won't be suspicious."

"Sun Lingxi, she..."

"It looks too clean, right? That's why the boss thinks there's something wrong with her. Now that the people who have been transferred from several places have returned, and the information has been combined, it's really not that simple to find her out. Her father has kidney failure, and it was done the year before last." Kidney transplant surgery, guess who found the kidney source for her? It was her distant cousin, the street gangster Sun Er. Do you know who Sun Er's real boss is? Your brother's biggest nemesis, Jiang Qingcheng, the gate god of Jiang in the West City. "

Zhou Xiaomeng hesitated for a moment: "Does brother know?"

"You probably don't know, otherwise, with your brother's suspicion, if he knew that Sun Lingxi had anything to do with Jiang Qingcheng, he would have turned his back on him long ago."

Zhou Xiaomeng was silent for a moment, Xiao Sizhi said: "Our people have been watching for so long, but we have never found that she has contact with Jiang Qingcheng's people. Maybe we think too much. But if she is really Jiang Qingcheng's person , then your brother really got caught up in a trick this time."

Zhou Xiaomeng bit her lips, and Xiao Sizhi comforted her: "It's not a bad thing. First, she may not be Jiang Menshen's person; second, it has nothing to do with us. The boss has asked the people who are watching to pay attention. We are in the dark, there will be no loopholes."

Zhou Xiaomeng asked: "Can you give me another SIM card for your mobile phone? It turned out that I was very scared at the time. After I called you last time, I cut it up and rushed into the bathroom."

"Okay, I'll mix it with the book and deliver it to your dormitory later." Xiao Sizhi said with a smile, "This time I picked two books by Keigo Higashino for you, they are really good-looking!"

It took two days for Zhou Xiaomeng to receive the book. The small SIM card was glued to the inside of the bayonet of the book's girdle with double-sided tape. It was so secretive that she almost couldn't find it.She picked up the two brand new Keigo Higashino books and flipped through them. She found the beginning very attractive, so she read them all at once.Seeing this, she almost forgot the time. She didn't realize it was time to go home until the driver called.

Since her accident last time, the driver has been replaced by Lao Jia who often drives for Zhou Yanzhao. She didn't dare to ask where Lao Yang went, for fear that she would feel guilty after asking.She has accidents willfully, always bringing bad luck to those around her.If you were concerned about Lao Yang's whereabouts, you might have annoyed Zhou Yanzhao even more.

Lao Jia drove more silently than Lao Yang, not saying a word all the way.Zhou Xiaomeng didn't want to talk either. There was a dark reflective film on the car window. Looking out, the whole world was separated by a layer, alienated and indifferent.In fact, she really wanted to be like her classmates, take the bus home, take the dirty clothes and sheets back to wash, and replace them with clean ones.

But on the first day of school, she was different from others. Others were sent by their parents to report, and she was the only driver and nanny.The two aunts made the bed for her. Everyone in the dormitory knew that her family was in a very good condition, and the driver picked her up every day.

The car drove into the gate of Zhou's house, and saw from a distance that the door of the garage next to it was not closed. It was Zhou Yanzhao's car, and he probably just came back.Sure enough, Aunt Li told her as soon as she got off the car: "Master Ten is back, and he brought Miss Sun with him."

When Zhou Xiaomeng heard that Sun Lingxi was coming, she couldn't help but feel a little complicated.Is Zhou Yanzhao really serious?
The atmosphere in the living room was fine. Sun Lingxi was sitting on the sofa with a cup of tea on the coffee table.Today, Sun Lingxi wore a royal blue dress, her long curly hair was tied up, and she looked gentle and sweet.But Zhou Yanzhao was much more lazy, his shirt buttons were unbuttoned, his tie was crooked, his feet were on the footstool, and he didn't know he was listening to what Sun Lingxi said.Zhou Xiaomeng rarely saw him wearing a formal suit and tie, so he couldn't help but take a second look.

"Brother, sister Sun."

"Xiaomeng is back." Sun Lingxi stood up with a smile, like a hostess welcoming guests.

Zhou Xiaomeng glanced at Zhou Yanzhao and said, "Brother, I'll go upstairs when I'm fine."

Zhou Yanzhao was a little absent-minded and nodded.Zhou Xiaomeng went upstairs to change clothes and then went downstairs. It turned out that today is Sun Lingxi's birthday, so Zhou Yanzhao took her home for dinner.

Zhou Xiaomeng couldn't help but said after learning about it: "My brother didn't tell me earlier, so I can prepare a gift for my sister Sun."

"Come on, you didn't earn all your money from me. What kind of gifts do you buy for others?" Zhou Yanzhao said, while laughing softly, turned to Sun Lingxi and said, "My sister, I always care about what I want. Money, I think it’s not enough to spend.”

Zhou Xiaomeng couldn't let herself tremble, she thought her face must be very ugly, only to hear Sun Lingxi smiled and replied: "In fact, little girls are like this, pocket money is never enough, I used to be like this, just ask my parents for... ..." Zhou Xiaomeng walked away with the excuse of going to the kitchen to look at the dishes.

Halfway through dinner, Xiaoguang came in with his mobile phone and handed it to Zhou Yanzhao.It must be a very important call, because Zhou Yanzhao got up after glancing at the phone screen, and went upstairs to answer the call.After a while, he came downstairs and said apologetically, "I have a temporary matter at the company, and I have to deal with it. Ling Xi, I'm really sorry, today is your birthday..."

"It's okay, it's okay." Sun Lingxi was quite understanding, "It's important, and besides, birthdays come every year, so what's important."

Zhou Yanzhao left in such a hurry, Zhou Xiaomeng didn't know whose call he answered and what kind of things he was going to deal with, so he was a little absent-minded.On the contrary, Sun Lingxi came to take care of her: "Xiaomeng, you eat vegetables, the food is cold."

The two women finished their meal without interest, and sent Zhou Binli, who had only had a little soup, back to his room.Sun Lingxi originally planned to leave, but Zhou Xiaomeng changed her mind: "Sister Sun, shall I treat you to a movie?"

Sun Lingxi didn't expect that she would take the initiative to invite him, so he was startled before smiling and said, "Okay."

When the driver heard that they were going to the movies, he felt embarrassed and said, "Brother Ten told me that the movie theater is too dark..."

Zhou Xiaomeng was waiting for this sentence, saying: "The movie theater is too dark? What kind of talk is this, where is it not dark to watch a movie?"

The driver stopped arguing, but said: "Miss, you can call Brother Guang. If Brother Guang agrees, I will take you there."

Zhou Xiaomeng said: "Then you call him, do you still want me to call him?"

The driver only felt that today's lady had a particularly tempered temper, so he had to call Xiaoguang.After speaking a few words, he handed the phone to her: "Brother Guang said, he's talking to you."

Xiaoguang's voice was still so calm: "Miss, do you want to watch a movie?"

"Yes, I want to watch a movie."

"XX Cinema Hall No. [-], ask Lao Jia to take you and Ms. Sun there."

Zhou Xiaomeng took Sun Lingxi to the cinema, and sure enough, it was arranged. The cinema hall was on a separate floor, and there was only one corridor to enter. There were two people at the door and four in the hall, all of whom knew Lao Jia.Zhou Xiaomeng sat down, and the theater manager asked, "Do you two want popcorn? What do you want for drinks?"

Zhou Xiaomeng ordered a large bucket of popcorn, while Sun Lingxi only ordered a bottle of mineral water.In the huge cinema hall, they were the only ones watching a movie. The emergency light at the door was still on. The snow-white light was so dazzling that the screen turned white.While eating popcorn, Zhou Xiaomeng said to Sun Lingxi: "Look, if you watch a movie with my brother in the future, it will be bigger than this battle. There are at least four people at the door, four at the back door, and two more people In the screening room, a dozen bodyguards guard the perimeter, tell me, how afraid is he of death?"

Sun Lingxi smiled: "Nowadays the world is not peaceful, the business is doing big, and people are jealous, it's better to be cautious."

"How do you know my brother?"

"It's quite accidental. Isn't the office building of your brother's company next to our library? The central mainframe on the platform on the fourth floor of his office building is just facing the office window of our library. When the central air conditioner is turned on in summer, we The office became a steamer. So our leader went to your brother, hoping that they could move the central air conditioner. But after a few times, your brother was not there... Others said they couldn't make the decision..."

Zhou Xiaomeng thought to himself, even if he was in the office every day, he could still pretend he was not there, and just ask the secretary to get in the way of someone he didn't want to see.Sure enough, Sun Lingxi said: "Our leader guessed that he was avoiding us, so he simply came up with the idea of ​​sitting on the sidelines and making a schedule for all the employees. Everyone must take over shifts and keep an eye on your brother's office building every day. I just hope to stop him."

When Sun Lingxi said this, she suddenly smiled. When she smiled, she had dimples on her cheeks, which was very sweet: "It happened to be my turn to be on duty that day, and I happened to see your brother come out of the office. While I was calling the leader, I thought Stop him... As a result, Xiaoguang reached out and picked me up, and then carried me aside, I was so frightened. Your brother said, put it down, how can you be so simple and rude to a girl. "

Zhou Xiaomeng also smiled, and Sun Lingxi smiled and said, "However, I still didn't stop him. Then one day when I got off work, it rained suddenly. I was waiting for a taxi at the entrance of the library, but I couldn't stop him. It happened that your brother was passing by, so he asked me if I could take his car. I hesitated and got in the car, and then your brother said, I have never seen me so bold, and I am not afraid of being betrayed by him..." Speaking Here, Sun Lingxi stopped, as if remembering some sweet details, with a smile on his lips and flushed cheeks.

Zhou Xiaomeng didn't ask any further questions, "Kacha Kacha" was eating popcorn, but Sun Lingxi paused for a moment, and then said: "Actually, I know a little bit what your brother does. An ordinary businessman is not as cautious as he is, even sleeping Put a gun under your pillow every now and then."

Zhou Xiaomeng bit her tongue, she took advantage of the situation and sucked it, then turned her face and called out: "Give me a bottle of Coke."

The iced Coke was delivered soon, and Zhou Xiaomeng took two sips. The carbonated drink irritated the wound, so she put it aside.She patted the popcorn crumbs on her clothes and said, "You're different from my brother's previous girlfriends. Except for one."

Sun Lingxi was obviously taken aback, and Zhou Xiaomeng said: "That girl's name is Su Beibei. When my brother met her, she was still studying. My brother really likes her very much. That girl is just like you. , not from my brother’s circle at all, they don’t understand anything, they are like a piece of white paper, my brother likes this kind of girl, he likes innocent girls, preferably students. When he was studying, he liked it the most Chasing after girls like study committee members. He said that watching a good girl fall for a bad boy like him is the most interesting thing. When he and Su Beibei got on good terms, my father hadn't had any accidents, but My brother has already helped him manage some matters of the company, so he offended many people. My brother is very cautious, but in the end he let the Qiu family know and tied her up to blackmail my brother. My brother refused, and the Qiu family would Cut off two fingers and sent them to my brother's office. On the third day, my brother finally agreed to negotiate terms with the other party. When I sat down in the teahouse, my brother said that he wanted to meet people first, and the other party was crowded. There was no way to save her, so I agreed, and asked someone to bring Su Beibei to my brother, who shot her to death first, and then retreated with his men."

Zhou Xiaomeng glanced at the pale Sun Lingxi, and said, "Scared you? Don't be afraid. It happened five or six years ago. No one dares to do it now, because my brother later kidnapped those kidnappers." The people who dealt with them were terrible, and even their parents, wives and children were not spared. So everyone in the world knows that it is useless to threaten him with his women. And the revenge after the event may exceed imagination. "

The corner of Sun Lingxi's mouth moved slightly, and after a while, he said, "Didn't someone...a while ago want to kidnap you?"

Zhou Xiaomeng grabbed a handful of popcorn, chewed it "Kacha Kacha", and said, "Even my brother told you this? I am different. Everyone outside knows that my brother hates me the most. I have no blood relationship with him." Relationship, if my dad hadn't been hurt like this, and still talking about me every day, he would have kicked me out a long time ago."

Sun Lingxi was startled again.Zhou Xiaomeng said: "My dad was assassinated. The sniper was ambushing on the balcony by the street. My mother was in the car that day. She put down the window glass and let the sniper shoot."

Sun Lingxi asked dryly, "Why..."

"I don't know." Zhou Xiaomeng said, "I was tricked by my mother and asked me to go to Canada to study. I was delayed in Beijing for two days because of something, and then I received a call at the airport saying that something happened to my father. It’s already like this when I rushed back. It is said that she paid several million to find the best professional killer. No one told me why she did it. Although she and my father are not married, we have a very good relationship. My father I love her very much, and I will give her whatever she wants. Even I follow her, and I have been like his own daughter since I was a child, taking his surname and calling him Dad."

Sun Lingxi seemed a little at a loss, and it took a while to calm down, and said: "Your brother doesn't necessarily hate you, I think he usually treats you pretty well..."

"Sister Sun, you don't know my brother." Zhou Xiaomeng smiled suddenly and said, "He really, really... likes you."

Sun Lingxi didn't expect her to change the subject and say such a sentence, so she also smiled.

"You are the first girlfriend he brought back. Maybe you will get married in the future. My brother is quite a clean freak. Although he looks like a playboy, he never dated two women at the same time. Always It ends with one and starts another. Sometimes, it ends a little too quickly, so it seems that he is always changing girlfriends. He has been with you for so long, I guarantee you will not feel that he has another woman ..."

Sun Lingxi interrupted her suddenly: "Yes."

Zhou Xiaomeng was stunned, and Sun Lingxi said: "Just a few days ago, I saw a tooth mark on his elbow, which was bitten by a woman. Your brother, what kind of woman do you think dare to bite him?"

"I don't know." Zhou Xiaomeng smiled, "I told you, I don't have a good relationship with him, he won't talk about himself in front of me. Even you, he will take you home, I just found out. You don't have to be too suspicious, sometimes he accompanies guests to socialize, and the girls in the nightclub take drugs, and they go crazy. "

Sun Lingxi said, "Thank you for telling me this."

"You're welcome." Zhou Xiaomeng hesitated for a few seconds, and finally said, "When you came home that day, my father once said that you look like a person."

Sun Lingxi looked at Zhou Xiaomeng, Zhou Xiaomeng said: "I think it's better not to hide it from you, you look a lot like that Su Beibei, the girl who was shot to death by my brother himself."
