After lunch, Zheng Laiyi went back to her room and fell asleep, while the other three moved their positions and gathered in the study on the third floor.

Jiang Mingjing stood in front of the window with a heavy face, and Liu Huixian sat on the sofa with his head down and clenched his hands.Compared with these two, Lu Hailian seemed much more at ease. He first glanced at Jiang Mingjing who had his back to the others, then turned his head to look at Liu Huixian, and said in a deep voice, "This... Teacher Liu? Although I I don't know what you think, but don't you think your behavior today is reckless?" It almost fell short, although it doesn't matter if everything is put on the table in the current situation, but... Jiang Ming Jing was very uncomfortable, and he would not feel any better.

Liu Huixian, who knew herself to be reckless, lowered her head even more. Although she knew how thoughtless her actions were, she would be out of control when it came to Zheng Laiyi. She didn't want Zheng Laiyi to suffer any harm, that's why...

"Isn't that right..." Suddenly remembered, although what she did was reckless, what she knew was the truth, "Mr. Jiang, don't you think it's too much for you to treat Lai Yi like this?"

Words full of strong condemnation came into Jiang Mingjing's ears through the air, making him clenched his fists involuntarily. The accumulated emotions in his heart were about to overwhelm him. In the end, he punched hard at the wall and let out a yell There was a loud "boom".

Is he really so dull that he has no brains?Didn't he know how much it would hurt Lai Yi if he knew about it?He never thought of letting Laiyi discover all this!

It has been planned long ago, together with Lu Hailian and the others, they will seize the property of the Zheng family step by step, but he will not let Laiyi know all this, even if he will definitely take away everything left by Zheng Guotong, he will not let it go. Lai Yi found something abnormal, he wanted to let Lai Yi live in a carefree environment, he would give Lai Yi everything she needed, and for Lai Yi, he would create a world to protect him.

But, but, all of this is useless, useless!

"It's okay, Der Spiegel, I know everything."

"I said it's okay, so it's okay, Mingjing, I'm tired and want to sleep for a while."

Laiyi has always known!The kid who made him wish he could protect him had already known about these messy collusions, he knew, he knew!

How could he forget, the seemingly indifferent he always hides in the corner, observing the people around him with a pair of calm eyes, be it the group of greedy relatives, or himself who approached him with a purpose, He has already seen through.

What kind of mood has he been living with himself all this time?

Seeing Jiang Mingjing's uncomfortable appearance, Liu Huixian didn't know what to say for a while.Condemned?Got her this round?Besides, Zheng Laiyi seemed to know about it already, but he still signed the documents, that is to say, he was already ready to hand them over.

That being the case, besides these, what else can she say?

"Mr. Jiang, do you still remember the place where we met for the first time?" Suddenly bringing up this topic that had been left aside for a long time, Liu Huixian raised his head, looked straight at Jiang Mingjing, and said, "You know what I did that night? Why is it there?"

Jiang Mingjing didn't respond. He didn't have the extra energy to care about other people and things now.But Liu Huixian didn't want to get Jiang Mingjing's answer, she just said what she was thinking now.

"I went there that night and killed myself because my boyfriend of four years took all my savings and ran away."

Lu Hailian's eyes widened instantly, and he looked at Liu Huixian in disbelief.

Liu Huixian tried her best to speak in a steady tone, but the turmoil in her heart made her unable to maintain peace.

"Mr. Jiang, have you ever experienced the feeling of being betrayed by the person you trust the most? It will make people feel uncomfortable, and they would rather die."

Jiang Mingjing froze.

Suddenly, Jiang Mingjing rushed to the door, opened the door and ran out.

Both Lu Hailian and Liu Huixian were stunned, and after a while, they heard Jiang Mingjing's wailing from downstairs.

"Come on!"

***

When she heard the sound of the door closing upstairs, Zheng Laiyi got up from the bed, dressed slowly, then went downstairs, bent over to put on her shoes when she reached the door, opened the door, walked out, and finally closed the door. People left the villa.

The sun above the head released its own heat to its heart's content, making people's minds sticky, unable to distinguish the way they came from, and the direction to go.For Zheng Laiyi, who has locked himself in a room since he was a child, although he is not familiar with the feeling of walking on the road, he walks firmly as if he knows where he is going. His steps are slow, but he never stops .

He walked, walked, walked, penniless, he never thought of using any means of transportation, relying on his own feet, he walked out of the villa step by step until night fell, and he came to a bustling road An unnoticed alley in the city center.Standing at the other end looking at the darkness, he finally stopped.

There are people coming and going behind, and the street lamps are shining like the morning sun, but this place alone is as quiet as the deep sea.

After a long time, Zheng Laiyi moved. He stepped into the bottomless alley and walked straight to the end. There was a door with a sign on it, which read—Lingxi Teahouse.

Push open the door, walk in, and there are pots of ceramic tea pots on the tall shelf directly opposite. Under the light, the patterns on the tea pots exude a charming charm.

"Hi, you're here." A woman in white Hanfu sat in the teahouse, making tea with flowing movements.

Zheng Laiyi lowered her eyes and asked, "Tea maker, what happened?"

Putting down the teapot, the tea maker sat upright and said calmly: "The self-help spirit wants to return to the human world."

"Really?" The misty voice echoed in the room, and finally turned into a sigh, "I see, let's start."

Smiling softly, the tea maker picked up the teacup and said, "Don't worry, there is still some time, let's sit down and have a cup of tea together."

Zheng Laiyi was silent.

The tea maker didn't mind his attitude, so he put down his teacup, walked to the tall shelf, took off the silver tea pot from it, and said back, "Let's go."

The wind blows by, the people have disappeared, only the faintly visible singing is still circulating.

"A crime committed in the past life ~ Retribution in this life ~ Died unexpectedly ~"

"The sins of the past life ~ pay back in this life ~ kill yourself ~"

"Oh~ The world is in turmoil~Accidentally walks ahead of the inevitable~"

"Death is as fateful as you~Your life is not over~Please rest for a while~Turn into a guardian spirit~Waiting for the call of the world~"

"Self-destruction is like you ~ life should not end ~ please take a break ~ give you the name of self-salvation ~ if you don't save yourself ~ the world will never end ~"

"Oh~ The world is in turmoil~Accidentally walks ahead of the inevitable~"

"Who can discern ~ your destiny ~ your world ~"

"Please take a break for a while~Please take a rest for a while~"

"Waiting Spirit Incarnates in the Human World~Self-Saving Spirit Introspects and Saves Itself~"

"Oh~ The world is in turmoil~ I want to live but I can't live~ I want to live but I don't want to live~"

"Poor waiting spirit~sad self-help spirit~"

"March in the world~The world is cruel~"

"Calling this world~a heartless world~"

The singing is high-pitched and loud, but also charming in whispers. When the singing stops, the clouds will disperse and the moonlight will shine, illuminating the tea maker by the river and the boy lying at the tea maker's feet.The boy's face was pale, but his heaving chest told everyone that he was still alive.

Looking at the tea maker, I saw that the tea pot in her hand was no longer the silver tea pot she was holding at the beginning, but another cyan tea pot with simple patterns

Sensing someone approaching, the tea maker melted into the night and disappeared.

Gradually, the sound of panicked footsteps got closer and closer, and finally, Jiang Mingjing appeared with an anxious face.

Seeing the boy lying by the river, Jiang Mingjing's face turned paler than the boy's. He rushed over, picked up the boy who was breathing weakly, and shouted: "Laiyi!"

Seeing this, the tea maker turned and left.In the blink of an eye, the tea maker had returned to the teahouse, and the tea in the cup was still warm.

Putting the green tea pot in his hand on the shelf, the tea maker couldn't help sighing: "Is it true that the self-help spirit returned to the world? Forget it, this is almost a law." After finishing speaking, the tea maker turned back to the world. In the teahouse, I intend to continue making tea.

Suddenly, a voice sounded in the teahouse.

"Tea maker, I don't want to wait any longer."

Tea is made by hand.Pursing his lips, the tea maker asked, "Do you know what this means?"

"I know." The voice was neither high nor low, neither hot nor hot, and it was difficult to distinguish between male and female, and it was also difficult to distinguish the source, but for some reason, the listener heard a trace of happiness from it, "It means that the ashes are gone, completely disappeared."
