The Swan Bay Murders

I was a little afraid to see my uncle and aunt, and I always felt guilty.

Until now, I still feel that Berlin's death cannot be separated from me. Now that I am with Brother Bai Chuan again, will they really accept it?

After work, I was directly stuffed into the car by brother Bai Chuan. The objection was invalid and I had to go home with him.

"But I..."

"No, but." He leaned over to fasten my seat belt, and kissed me by the way, "My mother specially asked me to take you back tonight, so you can't run away."

He looked at me with a smile, and repeated: "You can't run away."

I squeezed his hand and responded with a smile: "Don't run."

I haven't been back since I moved out, and it hasn't been that long, but it has definitely become my real home due to living together for a long time.

This kind of mood is very subtle, as if it is both my husband's house and my mother's house, which is so strange.

Embarrassed by my own thoughts, I stuck to the car window and looked out.

I am very familiar with the way home, and I know exactly how many traffic lights I have to pass.

When I was about to get home, I said to Brother Bai Chuan: "Don't let Auntie see it later."

He gave me a serious look and nodded.

I suddenly felt that this was unfair to him, and I felt guilty, so I could only hold his hand to express my apology.

"My mother is very shrewd." Brother Bai Chuan pulled over and stopped the car, turned to look at me, "How long do you think we can hide it from her?"

I was speechless and could only lower my head.

He approached me again, took me into his arms, and gently stroked my back: "What are you afraid of? I'm not afraid."

I'm just afraid, probably because my conscience can't bear it. I'm afraid that my uncle and aunt who are so good to me will be disappointed in me because of this incident. I don't want to make them unhappy.

Brother Bai Chuan kissed the tip of my ear, which made me itchy.

"I'll try my best to keep it a secret. I'll tell them when you're ready. Don't worry."

There seemed to be tiredness in his tone, and I didn't want to see him like this.

Do people always encounter this kind of situation when they are alive, the more they don't want to hurt the person, the more powerless they are.

The two of us hugged each other in the car, probably with our own concerns.

Suddenly someone knocked on the car window, which startled me.

My first reaction was that it was bad, it might be my aunt outside.

However, it was not the aunt, but the traffic police.

Brother Bai Chuan and I looked at each other, couldn't hold back, and both laughed.

After opening the window, the traffic policeman saluted very politely and said, "Sir, you cannot park here."

Just like that, at the door of the house, Brother Bai Chuan was issued a ticket.

Because of this incident, I laughed all the way to the door of the house.

The originally uneasy mood gradually became more at ease. In this way, I would like to thank the traffic policeman for this ticket.

After ringing the doorbell, my aunt quickly came to open the door.

Zai Zai rushed out and hugged my leg, I greeted my aunt, bent down and hugged it.

This little guy has gained weight again, and I can barely hold it in my arms.

"Broken child! I don't even know I miss my aunt after moving away!"

I followed Brother Bai Chuan into the house, and my aunt raised her hand and pinched my face.

Zai Zai broke free from my arms and ran to find my uncle, while I was dragged by my aunt to sit down and chat on the sofa.

"Are you busy recently?" Auntie held my hand. She was still the same as before, and she always reminded me of my mother when she smiled.

"It's okay." I glanced at Brother Bai Chuan, "Brother Bai Chuan is busy."

"If he's busy, you're busy too!" Auntie glared at Brother Bai Chuan, "Don't tire us, Jiang Luo!"

Brother Bai Chuan had an innocent face, that made me want to laugh.

He went back to his room to change clothes, and when my aunt saw him leaving, she asked me in a low voice, "Is Bai Chuan in love?"

I suddenly became nervous and didn't dare to look her in the eyes.

"Is it from your company?" She kept asking.

"I... I don't know very well." Brother Bai Chuan had never discussed with me how to answer such a question before coming here, and I panicked instantly.

"Ah?" Auntie looked at me suspiciously, maybe seeing my embarrassment, she gave up asking.

During the meal, however, she brought up the subject again.

"Do you want Bai Chuan to bring back your little boyfriend next time?" Auntie smiled and looked at Brother Bai Chuan, "Why are you making it so mysterious?"

I ate without a word.

In the evening, my aunt asked me to stay at home, but I declined on the grounds that I had no bedding.

Brother Bai Chuan sent me home and sat in the passenger seat, I finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"It feels like we are an underground party." I teased and said, "It's so thrilling."

"Sir, it's not dangerous at all, okay!" Brother Bai Chuan fastened my seat belt as usual, and kissed me as usual.

"When you went to change clothes, my aunt asked me if your boyfriend belonged to our company."

"Well, I guess she already knows pretty well." Brother Bai Chuan drove out of the community slowly.

I was very disturbed by his words, I frowned and asked, "Why?"

"Feeling." He rubbed my hair, "It's okay, if you know it, you will know it."

People like uncles and aunts, if they know about this, they will not show it even if they are disappointed and sad. They will call me back to eat as usual and treat me as before. Not the slightest bit of blame.

But if they don't say it doesn't mean they don't care.

"Don't think too much about it." Brother Bai Chuan said to me, "The most urgent thing now is to get well before Yi Li is discharged from the hospital."

I just wanted to ask him why he said that, and then instantly understood what he meant.

He said, "I love you very much."

Lying alone in bed at night, unable to fall asleep, repeatedly looking at the messages that brother Bai Chuan sent me.

He was a very open person who went out of his way to express his love and desire to me.

He said that he had been afraid to let me know his thoughts on me before, for fear that I would hate him.

Our thoughts coincided with each other, but fortunately, because of my impulse, we didn't miss it.

I used to be ashamed to talk about love, but maybe now I am influenced by Brother Bai Chuan, every time he says he loves me, he immediately responds: I love you too.

Love should be like this, it must be said and expressed, otherwise how will the other party know.

He said good night, but still couldn't fall asleep.

It was almost twelve o'clock, and I didn't feel sleepy at all.

Looking for someone to talk to, it seems that only Yi Li is the most suitable person at this time.

"You don't sleep most of the night, Sichun?"

Today, because I went home, I didn't go to see Yi Li. Listening to his voice, it's obvious that I haven't slept yet.

"You didn't sleep either."

He sneered and said, "I don't dare to sleep! There is a psycho who insists on being in bed with me, I'm afraid I'll be molested when I fall asleep!"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a vague voice from the opposite side, probably someone was complaining about something.

"Who will stay in bed tonight?"

"An Sinian! Who else could it be?" Yi Li wailed, "Jiang Jiang, I won't be happy if you don't come today."

I laughed listening to his voice, he didn't miss me, he just said so.

"I want to chat with you." I deliberately teased him, "No payment."

"Okay, wait a minute." After Yi Li said this, I heard him driving An Sinian out.

Then there was another burst of complaints, and then Yi Li said: "Okay, the idlers have already knelt down, so you can talk about it."

I'm a little sorry for An Sinian, but since it's already like this, I can't hang up the phone and ask the other party to come back.

"Actually, it's about me and Brother Bai Chuan." I said, "We are together, but I dare not let my uncle and aunt know."

"Why?" Yi Li asked suspiciously, "I'm afraid they won't agree?"

"It's not that I'm afraid of this. They treat me very well, and probably won't object very much. It's just that I'm worried..."

"Jiang Luo, do you know what your biggest problem is?" Yi Li smiled and said, "We're all together anyway, so what's the use of worrying so much?"

I was silent, he was right, no matter how worried I was, they still wanted to know.

"Jiang Luo," Yi Liyu said earnestly, "If you love him, give him a title. Don't all the people in your company call you the boss's wife? What are you worried about?"

"...How do you know about this?" I really can't accept that title, it's too much...

He laughed endlessly on the phone: "Hahahahahahahahaha you didn't tell me, but Xing Baichuan told me! You don't know, he actually likes to show off!"

I imagined the scene when Brother Bai Chuan proudly told Yi Li about this, and I couldn't help rubbing the space between my brows.

"So, don't be afraid of wolves and tigers, be brave and straightforward. Isn't that why you two can be together?"

I think that many times I am submissive just because I lack affirmation from people around me.

After chatting with Yi Li, I seemed to suddenly think about it.

I have to face it anyway, the future is in front of me, and it is impossible for me to miss love again because of anything.

When I got out of the bedroom in the morning, I was startled.

"Brother, why are you..." I took a deep breath, really scared.

"Stolen your spare key." He was tying an apron around his waist, and I walked over and rolled up his sleeves.

"I want an omelette," I said.

He kissed my forehead: "Okay, then I'll make you fried eggs."

I smiled and looked up at him: "But there are no eggs at home."

He froze for a moment, then directly picked me up, turned around and threw me on the sofa.

I pretended to struggle a few times, then gave up and was subdued by him.

He pressed on me, pinched my nose and said, "Li Jiangluo, you are amazing, you have learned how to tease me."

I raised my legs, wrapped around his waist, and said with a smile: "Xing Baichuan, are you happy that I teased you so much?"

He looked at me with a smile, then suddenly lay down and hugged me, rubbed my neck and said, "Happy."
