double duty

The twilight merged, and the afterglow like gold leaf spread all over the ground.

Shang Yizhou lay quietly on the hospital bed, his narrow and deep eyes drooped slightly, and he flipped through Weibo with a look as calm as cold water.

Flicking across a dim photo, his fingertips suddenly stayed in mid-air, the cool evening wind passed through the screen and his palm, and his chest was chilled.

The photos are not very clear, but the number of them is superior. He searched one after another, his chest fell into the ice cave with chills, but the mature and delicate face was still faint, only the trembling fingers betrayed it. over him.

Walk in side by side, give each other gifts, enjoy fireworks together, and kiss in a secluded way.

In these photos, Gu Zhi always had the corners of his lips curled up, and his eyes seemed to have light, a look he hadn't seen for a long time.

He was extremely stingy, and the other protagonist in the photo only deserved a quick glance of him, but he had a good memory, and with just one glance, he recognized the man who appeared in the hotel that day.

Shang Yizhou found Chen Zhu's phone number from the address book, "Check the details of the other man in the photo."

Chen Zhu: "Zongzu, I'm your manager, not your private detective."

Shang Yizhou turned a deaf ear to it.

Chen Zhu, who couldn't wait for a response, sighed silently. He couldn't fight the master, so he could only follow him, but when he thought of the master's little lover, he couldn't stop. He frowned even more, and said earnestly : "Ancestor, I can check for you, but you can't wade into the muddy waters of this matter."

Shang Yizhou hummed, but couldn't tell whether he had listened or not.

Chen Zhu has followed Shang Yizhen since his debut, and he has worked hard all the way to this point. Shang Yizhen has a heavy heart, never shows any dew on his face, and is gentle and considerate to everyone he meets, but he just falls for this little lover. in hand.

Chen Zhu was worried, and he reminded him again: "You and Xu Dong are too tense, if something happens again, Hua Le Tianji may not help you."

Shang Yizhou's eyes were slightly cold, he snorted, and tapped his fingertips on the back of the phone rhythmically.

"You say you," Chen Zhu's nagging character reappeared, and he couldn't help saying a few more words, "If you want to hit someone, you beat him behind your back. You have to bring him in front of his father to bully him. Don't you mean that?" Slap Xu Dong in the face? You are not his own son, he can—”

Shang Yizhou interrupted Chen Zhu: "It's over."

Chen Zhu stopped abruptly.

There was a crisp slap from the other end of the phone, Chen Zhu: "It's confiscated."

Shang Yizhou pursed his lips and said, "I know it well."

This sentence made Chen Zhulai angry. He thought of Shang Yizhen's dementia behavior in recent days. ,you……"

Chen Zhu had nothing to say, and sighed heavily, "Forget it, the money is yours, and you can do whatever you like."

Shang Yizhou said: "Well, remember to check for me."

Chen Zhu gave up on himself: "Check, check, I'll check it now, and find out where his ancestral grave is."

Shang Yizhou: "OK."

Chen Zhu choked up, "...Get lost."

"Well, I'm hanging up."

After finishing speaking, he hung up the phone mercilessly.

Within a few seconds, the mobile phone's WeChat notification sounded crazily, and Shang Yizhou raised his eyelids. He didn't need to look to know that it must have been sent by Chen Zhu.

[Chen Zhu: Ancestor, remember not to wade into muddy waters]

[Chen Zhu: Ancestor, remember not to wade into muddy waters]

[Chen Zhu: Ancestor: Remember not to wade into muddy waters]

[Shang Yizhou: Check it out by the way, the company that broke the news]

[Chen Zhu:...]

[Chen Zhu: Give me your Weibo account password, I think it is necessary to keep it for you for a while. ]

The last sentence, Shang Yizhou Quan pretended not to see it, he clicked on Weibo again, turned to the follow list, he followed only a dozen or so people, one click in, and Gu Zhi was at the top.

[Gu Zhi: Fate is scattered @商]

The wound on the side of his head had more than a dozen stitches, and the area was not suitable for anesthesia. He managed to survive, but the pain was not as good as one-tenth of what he saw on this Weibo.

As long as he just sit idly by and Gu Zhi is desperate, maybe he will come to ask him for help. After all, as long as he moves his finger and says a few words casually, this scandal can end without bloodshed, and he will still be close. Opportunities, even in this way.

Gu Zhi went out to pack a copy of Yangchun noodles. The small noodle shop was remote, but they made authentic Yangchun noodles. The scallions were fragrant and oily, and the thick soup was delicious.

He slurped the noodles, his stuffy and swollen chest seemed to heal a lot as he swallowed.

The moment he saw Wang Cheng's news today, Gu Zhi almost had the idea of ​​giving up, and even wanted to go back to Xin'an to open a small shop, and spend the rest of his life in a daze.

But the high liquidated damages promptly awakened him to this unrealistic idea.

He took the blame for Xu Yuqiu, and even after he wanted to come back, he never had such thoughts, after all, he had never done such a thing, even if people on the Internet scolded him fiercely, he would not feel anything.

But this time was different, because he involved the innocent Ling Ze, something he didn't want to see.

Halfway through eating the noodles, Zhou Xiaoxiao came to him. On the phone, her voice was still clear and crisp, "My child, I'm in Lincheng. Come to your sister Ji Yun's house for dinner?"

Gu Zhi swallowed the remaining half of the noodles, wiped off the noodle soup on his lips, and replied, "Okay."

After he was fully armed, he took a taxi and rushed to the address sent by Zhou Xiaoxiao, which was a row of high-end apartments.

The apartment is located in the center of the city, but it is quiet and secret. In the busiest evening of the day, there are noisy people and vehicles rushing along the street, but these are all cut off. Not only that, the apartment has very strict access control. A man dressed like a housekeeper The man asked him to sit on the sofa and wait for a while, and he could only be released after his identity was verified.

Gu Zhi had no objection. He sat in the farthest corner and was about to put on the earphones, but was stopped by a sound from far to near.

"Well, it's done, don't worry he has no doubts."

The voice was flat or even indifferent, but Gu Zhi felt it was familiar, but he didn't know who it was for a while. He poked his head out suspiciously, only peeked at the back, but he didn't see it clearly. The butler blocked his sight and gave a guide "Mr. Gu, this way please."

Gu Zhi frowned, put aside his excessive curiosity, and followed the housekeeper to the elevator.

With a sound of "ding", the elevator door slowly opened.

The apartment is single-family and single-staircase. As soon as he goes out, it is the place where Zhou Xiaoxiao and Ji Yun live, and Zhou Xiaoxiao is already waiting for him at the door.

"sister."

"Come in, I'm starving to death," Zhou Xiaoxiao took Gu Zhi's arm. Without her high heels, she could barely touch Gu Zhi's jaw. She leaned on Gu Zhi's shoulder familiarly. After a while, Zhou Xiaoxiao Little dissatisfied raised his head. "I'm so thin, it hurts my face!"

"Xiao...Xiao Zhi just sit down." Ji Yun is not familiar with Gu Zhi, and he has only met Gu Zhi twice.

Gu Zhiying put the meeting gift on the table, and Zhou Xiaoxiao picked it up curiously, "Let me see what my little baby brought me?"

Ji Yun kept serving dishes from the kitchen, but she glanced helplessly at Zhou Xiaoxiao, interrupting her movements. "Zhou Xiaoxiao, get rid of your soup first."

"Okay." Zhou Xiaoxiao got up reluctantly, "You can play casually, kid, and I'll go and boil the love for you."

Gu Zhi has known Zhou Xiaoxiao for so many years, and was fortunate to see her cook twice, once flooding the golden mountain, and once frying the kitchen, Gu Zhi silently questioned whether this soup can be eaten.

Sure enough, not long after, Zhou Xiaoxiao was kicked out by Ji Yun. She gracefully touched the pot ashes on the tip of her nose, and said with great regret: "The soup is fried, I'll drink it next time." She opened the refrigerator and took out a bottle Cold beer, "Drink?"

"it is good--"

"No," Zhou Xiaoxiao replaced the beer with dairy products and threw it to Gu Zhi, "Sick children are not allowed to touch alcohol."

Gu Zhi: "I'm off the medicine."

"That's not okay, drink milk honestly."

Gu Zhi bent the corners of his lips, since the protest was futile, he could only obey obediently.

Zhou Xiaoxiao sat beside him, leaned lazily on the sofa, her slender and clean legs were half upturned, "Have a new boyfriend?"

Gu Zhi was choked, "No, it's just an assistant."

"Look at how excited you are," Zhou Xiaoxiao recalled his appearance in the photo, and said with a smile, "The little assistant is quite handsome."

Gu Zhi discussed the matter: "Indeed."

Zhou Xiaoxiao took a sip of her wine, and she asked leisurely, "Are you really letting go?"

Gu Zhi was slightly stunned, then he lowered his brows and looked gentle, "Let it go."

Zhou Xiaoxiao: "What if he kneels down and hugs your thigh and begs you, and doesn't look back?"

Gu Zhi imagined the scene in Zhou Xiaoxiao's novel, and after a chill, he was still a little happy. He half-jokingly said, "Then I'll lie to him too, and then I won't want him anymore."

Zhou Xiaoxiao laughed, "Good idea."

However, it is impossible for Shang Yizhou to do such a thing, he and Zhou Xiaoxiao both know it well.

After laughing, Zhou Xiaoxiao suddenly stepped forward and hugged Gu Zhi, she said in a low voice, "Congratulations, you have escaped from the sea of ​​suffering."
