Absolutely private

Li Qiu sensed the silence around him, raised his head and looked around, only to find that the crowd was looking at him and He Heng.

Although he didn't know what happened, he immediately moved away from He Heng and stood far away.

Li Qiu opened his eyes wide in confusion and innocently, scanned the crowd, and finally met Yu Shucheng who was in the middle of the lawn.

Yu Shucheng looked at He Heng behind him unkindly, full of displeasure and aggression in his eyes.

The people around looked at Li Qiu and He Heng, and at Yu Shucheng, their faces were full of excitement, but no one dared to say anything in the Yu family's territory.

After just being silent for a while, Fu Yi'an had seen enough of the good show, the banquet had to continue, he walked between He Heng and Li Qiu, and separated the two of them.

Fu Yi'an said a few words to He Heng in a low voice, and then he laughed and pulled him aside.

There was no one else around Li Qiu, Yu Shucheng took a deep look at him, and then finally started to continue talking.

At the end of his speech, Yu Shucheng also wished Mr. Yu a happy birthday in an extremely official way, and then everyone raised their glasses to celebrate.

A big cake was pushed up, Mr. Yu and Yu Shucheng cut it together, and then the cake was cut and distributed to other guests present.

Yu Shucheng finally returned the microphone, and then wanted to leave the center of the crowd.

He has been staring at Li Qiu in the corner, wishing he could squeeze the others away and walk to Li Qiu's side.

But other people would not let Yu Shucheng go easily, several groups of people gathered around one by one to chat with Yu Shucheng and Mr. Yu.

Yu Shucheng has been dealing with it impatiently and perfunctorily. Mr. Yu saw his impatience with sharp eyes, turned his head and said to him in a low voice, "Go ahead, you are so anxious that your heart is gone."

Yu Shucheng's hand holding the wine glass paused, and then said bluntly, "Let's go."

Then he just put down the wine glass and left the others to leave.

Everyone looked at Yu Shucheng's back blankly, wondering if they made Mr. Yu unhappy.

Mr. Yu smiled at everyone, "I have something to deal with at home, please forgive me."

After Yu Shucheng walked out of the crowd, he looked around and saw Li Qiu beside the swimming pool.

Li Qiu was sitting alone on a deck chair by the pool, holding a wine glass in his hand, and there was another person sitting opposite him.

Yu Shucheng's eyes darkened, he was so obvious, who would not have eyes to touch him?

But after Yu Shucheng walked a few steps closer, he suddenly saw clearly that the person sitting opposite Li Qiu was Yun Qian, and the two seemed to be talking about something.

Yu Shucheng wanted to step over, but Zhou Zheng suddenly ran over in a hurry.

"President Yu, I have something to report to you..."

Yu Shucheng waved him away impatiently, "No time."

Zhou Zheng directly blocked Yu Shucheng's way in a hurry, "Mr. Yu, it's really important! It's about the kidnapping incident two years ago that you asked me to investigate, and something new has been discovered..."

Yu Shucheng glanced at Li Qiu who was not far away, and left with Zhou Zheng.

Li Qiu looked at Yun Qian who suddenly appeared in front of him, and immediately wanted to get up and leave.

But Yunqian blocked his way with her hand, and said in a very mocking tone, "Why, you are so scared and want to run away after seeing me?"

Li Qiu snorted coldly, "I wanted to escape because the air became dirty."

"You one by one" Yun Qian then laughed, "You are just showing off your quick tongue, and you have no real skills. Do you think you can get me out of Yu's house with a little trick? Let me tell you, this It's impossible."

Li Qiu didn't use any means at all, Yun Qian had been dealing with him as if he were an enemy.

"Who says it's impossible," Li Qiu said intentionally, "Aren't you going to be punished now? Could it be that your knee doesn't hurt anymore after kneeling all night?"

As he spoke, he deliberately touched Yun Qian's knee with his wine glass.

Yun Qian's face immediately changed in pain, and she couldn't hold on to her pretended expression.

"Li Qiu! Don't be too happy too early. Don't think that you can represent anything just by attending Uncle Yu's birthday banquet. I am the young master of the Yu family, and there is no way you will replace me!"

"I never thought of replacing you," Li Qiu shook his glass twice, "Because I'm just myself, I won't replace anyone, but you, it seems that you really want to replace me."

Yunqian was poked into her mind, and stood up excitedly, but because of her knee pain, she couldn't stand up straight.

Li Qiu was afraid that he would fall down and hit him, so he moved to the side.

"What are you? Why would I want to replace you?" Yun Qian said, "I tell you, everyone in the Yu family owes me, so Uncle Yu and brother will not abandon me! Even if they want to, they will I will only abandon you!"

These words seemed to stab a sharp knife directly into Li Qiu's heart, arousing his memories of the darkness and chaos before.

She will not abandon Yunqian, but only herself.

This feeling is very familiar, forgotten, abandoned, as if no one has ever taken it to heart...

It seems that it was indeed like this before, when facing danger, I was indeed the one who was left behind.

These sad and painful memories were originally carefully hidden in a corner by Li Qiu, and he could pretend that these things did not exist and never happened without thinking about or touching them.

But Yun Qian's words still reminded him of the fear and despair at that time.

He walked out of the dark and cold basement step by step with bloody footprints, and because he was kidnapped, he missed the last time he met his mother

The days that followed were the same, the same loneliness and despair...

—Recalling the events at that time, Li Qiu's breathing became heavy, he lowered his head and didn't want to speak.

Seeing Li Qiu like this, Yun Qian finally felt like she had won once.

"Have you figured it out? If you figure it out, just leave on your own initiative. Otherwise, I can't guarantee that those terrible things won't happen again."

Yun Qian said proudly, "The previous incident is considered to be your fate, and there is nothing wrong with it, but if there is a next time..."

Yun Qian leaned towards Li Qiu, lowered her voice, with a ferocious expression like a psychopath.

"...If there is another time, you will not be so lucky."

Li Qiu asked in a daze, "What? What happened before? What do you mean by that?"

Yun Qian didn't continue to say that yesterday it was because he was drunk that the trouble came out of his mouth, but today he is conscious and will not tell Li Qiu all those things.

"The more you want to know, the less I will tell you," Yun Qian said with a smile, "You will never know, hahahaha..."

Li Qiu didn't know why, but he was very concerned about what Yun Qian said that he was hiding from him, so he also stood up.

"You tell me clearly, or you don't even think about leaving." Li Qiu grabbed Yun Qian's arm.

Yun Qian swung him away vigorously, "Don't pull me, you bitch!"

Li Qiu was pushed, all the wine was spilled on his clothes, and he almost fell into the swimming pool.

Li Qiu was also angry, put the wine glass aside with a "snap", and looked at Yun Qian without saying a word.

Li Qiu suddenly saw Yu Shucheng walking not far behind Yunqian, he thought of something, and said to Yunqian, "Do you still remember, when I was filming in winter, I couldn't swim, but the You asked me to take several shots of the diving scene, and then I got a fever and caught a cold when I got home..."

Yun Qian said, "So what if you remember, it's because your own health is too poor, what are you talking about now?"

Li Qiu smiled, "I still can't swim now."

Then he quickly took Yun Qian's hand, put it on his chest and gently pushed it, and then his body fell into the cold swimming pool like a fallen leaf.

With a "plop", everyone's eyes were drawn to it, and they only had time to see clearly that it was a person who fell into it.

And Yun Qian stood stunned by the swimming pool, the raised hand hadn't been retracted yet, the splashed water fell all over his body, making him tremble uncontrollably.

Yunqian was frightened by Li Qiu's actions, he didn't expect Li Qiu to fall into the swimming pool after saying a bunch of inexplicable words, and he actually wanted to frame himself on purpose, making others think that he pushed him into it .

Li Qiu in the swimming pool was struggling non-stop, and the cold water penetrated his body instantly.

This swimming pool is a deep water area, and he really can't swim.

At the beginning, he could still hear people on the shore screaming and calling for help, but he gradually lost his strength and sank quietly to the bottom of the water.

After being completely engulfed by that great panic and helplessness, Li Qiu seemed to have fallen into boundless despair again.

He held his breath inwardly.

Didn't Yun Qian say that she was always the one who would be abandoned?

Then take a look, who is going to be abandoned now...

Just when Li Qiu was about to close his eyes unbearably, he seemed to see a black shadow appearing in front of his eyes, and then a pair of strong arms wrapped around his waist, supporting his whole body to go up, away from the cold dark place.

Li Qiu could feel that he was being hugged carefully, but he was too cold, and his breathing was getting heavier and heavier, and he still lost consciousness in the dark.

After Yu Shucheng carried Li Qiu to the shore, he put him on the shore and lay flat, then kept pressing his chest, pinched his nose and blew air into his mouth, giving him artificial respiration .

Li Qiu suddenly spat out a big mouthful of water, then slowly opened his eyes, and saw clearly who was in front of him.

Yu Shucheng's lips turned white. After seeing the person woke up, his heart and reason finally returned to their positions.

He hugged Li Qiu, his voice trembling, "Do you want to scare me to death..."

Li Qiu opened his mouth, but no sound came out.

Yu Shucheng pressed his lips, "Don't talk, don't talk, are you cold? Are you uncomfortable?"

Li Qiu's eyes were red, and his long eyelashes were covered with wet drops of water. With a slight trembling, a bean-sized teardrop rolled down directly.

He nodded lightly.

Yu Shucheng's heart was pulled together, he stroked his own wet hair, and hugged the person on the ground horizontally.

Zhou Zheng, who hurried over, politely blocked the incessant inquiries from the people nearby.

Yu Shucheng strode into the villa with Li Qiu in his arms, and went to the upstairs room, leaving a row of watermarks along the way.

When Mr. Yu and the guests in the villa saw the appearance of the two of them, they were all surprised and asked what happened.

Zhou Zheng, who was following behind, said in a strange tone, "Young Master Yun, he pushed Li Qiu into the swimming pool just now!"

"what!"

After hearing this, everyone started to discuss.

Mr. Yu's expression was the worst, and he said angrily, "Bring me Yun Qianling in!"

In the upstairs room, Yu Shucheng first carefully put the person in his arms on the sofa beside him, and was about to take off his soaked clothes.

Li Qiu was weak all over, shivering constantly from the cold, without the strength to resist at all, nestled on the sofa at the mercy of Yu Shucheng.

Yu Shucheng took off his shirt first, then with trembling fingers, he went to lift off Li Qiu's clothes.

What he heard just now kept circling in his mind, Yu Shucheng breathed heavily, suddenly stopped the movements of his hands, leaned over to the sofa, and hugged his limp body.

Li Qiu's body sank, and he could feel the scorching heat on Yu Shucheng's body, which was completely different from his own coldness.

"Baby," Yu Shucheng's breath was buried in Li Qiu's shoulder and neck, "I know everything, I know everything..."

Yu Shucheng tightened his arms, completely embedding Li Qiu into his chest, warming his cold body.

"Two years ago, were you also kidnapped?"
