you may never have loved me

Qu Lingxi explained embarrassingly: "It's not Tiancai, Brother Gu, you heard it wrong. Su has a heavy accent from country B, and the genius just said Tiancai...hahahahaha."

With a shy face, he thought he could turn the tide, hide the truth, and laughed dryly several times.

It's a pity that acting skills are really urgent, he is the only one laughing in the whole hall, and there is no second person to cooperate with him.

He winked at Su vigorously, but Su just asked suspiciously: "How do you know that I used to live in country B?"

Qu Lingxi: "..."

It was Yaya who finally broke the embarrassing atmosphere.

Yaya looked at Qu Lingxi carefully, feeling familiar: "I seem to have seen you before."

This sentence is very similar to Daiyu's sentence in the third chapter of "Dream of Red Mansions" when she entered Jia's mansion, "I have seen this younger sister before."

Modern times are often borrowed as a way to strike up a conversation with a poor donkey.

Of course, Yaya couldn't be accosting him.

Yaya bit her pen and recalled, she finally had some space in her little mind, which was stuffed with homework.Her eyes lit up, "Brother, have you ever bought cigarettes in my store?"

Passive coming out has been done.

A pack of cigarettes, of course Qu Lingxi would not cheat.

He was about to nod.

Yaya said excitedly again: "How could I forget you? Other customers bought white sand, but you bought white smoke."

Baisha and Baiyan are only separated by a word, but they are very different.

A pack of white smoke is enough to buy three sticks of white sand.

Most of the people who smoke this kind of cigarette are rich young masters who don't understand the sufferings of the people.Those who have been in the society for a long time, even big bosses, will choose more famous varieties.

Qu Lingxi was even more embarrassed.Smoking is not good conduct, he doesn't need to hide it, but he doesn't want to be exposed in front of the two lifesavers.

Especially Gu Shen.

The little girl couldn't understand the difficulties of the rich young master at all.

She pouted slightly, her eyes watery.Because of recalling the painful incident, she felt wronged, and because of the wrongedness, she didn't realize it until the tears filled her eyes.

Yaya snorted in a low voice: "Next time I will learn how to behave. If a customer buys a pack of white cigarettes, I will never sell them. If I want to sell, I will sell one. My father said that he will kill the customer."

Qu Lingxi was heartened by these seemingly selfish but innocent words.

Who can blurt out "slaughter" like her?On the contrary, it seems that she has a pure heart and does not understand the concealment and selfishness inherent in human beings.

Gu Shen glanced at him with deep eyes.

Qu Lingxi still didn't know what was going on.

But Su sighed, secretly pulled Qu Lingxi over, and said in a low voice, "Do you remember last night? In this inn, a few people came near the end of the night."

Qu Lingxi nodded and said, "To be specific, there are four people. In addition to Yima, the youngest son of the proprietress of the hotel, there are two men who are taller than me. One of the men even hugged a little girl."

Su Weiyi: "Have you seen it all?"

"When Gu Shen went upstairs with Yaya in his arms, he happened to pass me by." Qu Lingxi said, "These two men are you and Gu Shen, and the girl is Yaya. I guessed all this a long time ago." , but I can’t guess anything else. After all, I’m not so supernatural that I can figure out the cause and effect.”

Su praised him sincerely: "You are already very smart."

He originally thought that what he said at the beginning would make Qu Lingxi digest for a while, but he didn't expect that it was not Qu Lingxi who would digest for a while, but him.

Qu Lingxi looked at Yaya, and said in secret: "Is the matter of Yaya related to me?"

Su was surprised: "You can even guess this?"

Qu Lingxi smiled wryly: "This matter obviously involves Yaya's privacy, and I'm just a stranger. If it wasn't related to me, you wouldn't try to tell me."

There was another reason that Qu Lingxi didn't mention.

After Yaya said that he was the cigarette buyer, Gu Shen took a look at him.

This look was lukewarm, with no expression, let alone hatred.But Qu Lingxi read a trace of harshness.

To be honest, he was pretty hurt.The so-called one who doesn't know is innocent, so far, he is not worthy of such an emotional glance from Gu Shen.

Su was quite indignant: "Don't feel that there is any psychological burden. Any bullshit reason is an excuse for Yaya's beast father to commit atrocities. It's not once or twice that he committed this kind of thing. Every year, my boss and I come here Liangcheng will encounter... such people should be punished by law."

Su Yue became angrier as she spoke, and almost couldn't cover her voice: "If it wasn't for Yaya's soft heart, she always pleaded for his father. This kind of scum would have been sent to Liangcheng Prison by the boss."

Qu Lingxi was taken aback, her eyelids drooping slightly.He guessed what hurt Yaya, and thought that she was severely criticized by the shop owner, such as fined wages or insulted, but he didn't expect that the so-called shop owner was her father.

The plot is not so simple.

It's domestic violence.

According to Su's words, Yaya's father is already a repeat offender.Don't look at the little girl who is lively and clever on the surface.There must be many shocking scars on the skin hidden under the skirt...

Qu Lingxi almost remembered it.

At the beginning, the pack of Baiyan cigarettes was not clearly placed on the counter.He didn't ask with much hope, but unexpectedly, Yaya said yes.

Looking back on the scene at that time carefully now, he remembered more details.Although Yaya said "yes", when she found out that the white smoke was not in bulk, but only whole unopened, her expression became a bit more hesitant.

He was not very patient, so he didn't think about it so much, so he asked again.

Yaya gritted her teeth, and took out a new pair from the box behind the counter.

When she heard Qu Lingxi say "just one pack", she opened the plastic package with her small hands, took out a pack from a pack of cigarettes, and sold it to him.

Su said: "Anyway, I have known Yaya for many years, and I know a little bit about her store. Her business is not very good. If it is a new unopened product and it does not sell well, you can return it to the supplier at the cost price. manufacturers."

Probably thinking that Qu Lingxi didn't understand, he thought for a while and added a few more sentences.

"The white cigarette you smoked was not sold before. It was newly bought in the first half of this year, but it has been sold for so long, and you bought it by yourself. The remaining disassembled cigarettes cannot be returned or sold. It was all in his hands. Yaya's father blamed her, and my boss and I were very angry when we found out yesterday and called the police."

Gu Shen's tone was not good, and he stopped his words: "Su, that's enough."

Su turned to Qu Lingxi and said, "No, my boss dislikes me for talking too much."

Qu Lingxi couldn't laugh, "I'm sorry."

If he could have seen Yaya's entanglements and difficulties at that time, this innocent disaster might not have happened.

Su patted him on the shoulder in relief, and persuaded: "Don't think too much. I said he is a habitual offender. Without you, Xi, there would be Ahbei, Dongan, and Nan buying that pack of white cigarettes."

This time, Gu Shen didn't forgive Su for being noisy, he directly picked up Su's sweater and hat, and took him away from Qu Lingxi's side like a chicken.

Su was strangled to lack of oxygen, and coughed non-stop: "Brother."

Gu Shen ignored it, and walked straight to the stairs, thinking of taking Su up the stairs like this.

Su's face was red, and he couldn't stop begging for mercy: "Neck, neck is going to be strangled by you."

Gu Shen carried him and walked to the first corner of the stairs as if he had never heard of it.

He put Su down without any warning, because of inertia, Su was ruthlessly thrown to the ground like a sandbag.

boom.

There was a loud bang.Su's whole body knocked against the corner wall.

Qulingxi and Yaya looked over at the same time.

Qu Lingxi looked dazed, not understanding what happened: "Are you all right?"

Yaya said with a worried face: "Brother Gu, don't bother Su, he knows he's wrong."

Qu Lingxi is still at a loss.He felt that there was nothing wrong with Su other than talking a little more.There is absolutely no need for such a small mistake to be punished by Gu Shen in this way.

What's more, what Su said was just to let Qu Lingxi know about Yaya.

Su clutched his legs in pain and said, "I was so busy protecting my head that I forgot my legs. I have long legs that are 1.8 meters long."

The corner of Qu Lingxi's mouth twitched slightly. If the legs are 1.8 meters long, what is left, a brain?

Gu Shen looked down at Su for a while, and sneered: "You can still joke, it seems that there is nothing wrong."

Su wants to cry but has no tears.He is in pain, but he succumbs to Gu Shen's lewd power, even if it hurts, he can't scream.

Standing on a high place, Gu Shen raised his head. First, he faced Qu Lingxi who was asking questions. He was silent for a second, then nodded, showing that he was measured.

He said to Yaya: "Don't worry, your Brother Su will not die, go back and do your homework."

Qu Lingxi was a little speechless.

Can't die?

Even saying this to a child, I don't know if it will cause psychological trauma to her.

Unexpectedly, Yaya was very used to Gu Shen's tone, and after knowing that Su would not have any serious problems, she sat back obediently and continued to do her homework.

The limping Su followed Gu Shen up the stairs dejectedly.

Only Qu Lingxi and Ya Ya were left in the hall.

Qu Lingxi was very hesitant, he was neither sitting nor standing properly.Stay closer to Yaya, lest she will be disgusted; stay away from her, lest Yaya think he is indifferent.He wanted to apologize to Yaya, but he didn't know what topic to use.

Suddenly, he heard an immature female voice calling him: "Qu Ling Xi."

Qu Lingxi turned to look at Ya Ya.

Yaya asked, "Your name is Qu Lingxi, right?"

Qu Lingxi hummed lightly.

He asked softly again: "How do you know?"

Yaya said without thinking, "Brother Gu wrote it."

As she spoke, she held up her draft pad, a bunch of immature numbers mixed with a line of cursive script.

"Curling pity."

He never thought about what it would look like when his three words were written by others.

It turned out to be the case.

Words are like people.Gu Shen writes like his own, just writing three simple characters.The font is so powerful that it seems to penetrate the thin paper and penetrate to the back of the straw paper.Every stroke, everything has roots.

Yaya said: "You are a person who knows how to play with Su even if you don't care about me or Brother Gu. But you are good-looking, so I don't care about you. I will secretly ask Brother Gu, this strange handsome little What's your brother's name?"

"Brother Gu didn't tell me, but just wrote these three words on my draft paper."

"So lovely."

"I think Brother Gu is the most beautiful person in the world. Qu Lingxi, don't you think so?"
