Why are you in such a hurry

Cheng Lili was excited for several days when she finally got the key to the gate of the mansion.

She believes that she is the only substitute who can freely enter and exit Miss Gu's castle, and she has privileges that other substitutes do not have.

This sense of superiority over others made her feel a little smug, like a villain who has achieved success, but unfortunately she can't show it off to others, she can only be complacent.

Gu Jianyin loves to see her face full of joy, with (cough cough) spring in the corner of her mouth. He already likes to pinch her cheeks, but now it's getting worse, and he can't help but want to pinch her when he sees it.

Because Chen Jing was on vacation, Gu Jianyin had to do many things by himself, so he couldn't pick up Cheng Lili to and from get off work every day. Cheng Lili showed a lot about it, didn't care about it, and virtuously prepared all kinds of small refreshments for Miss Gu. , packed in a crisper and stuffed into her bag when she goes out in the morning.

Cheng Lili usually comes back earlier than the owner of the mansion. Being alone in this huge and gorgeous castle is the best place to play treasure hunting games. I don't know if I can find amazing treasures if I search a lot.

But what Cheng Lili really cares about is not jewelry, jade and agate. She has seen too many of those things on TV but she doesn’t feel them. What she cares about is the small room at the end of the second floor, where there is no light all day long, as if hidden in darkness. .

On the ceiling of the winding and winding corridor, there is a delicate and luxurious crystal lamp hanging every three steps. Only when you walk to the deepest point, the top is empty and there is nothing.

Is that the big treasury where Ali Baba stores his belongings, or the transformed (cough) state collection where the Duke of Blue Beard puts (cough) corpses?

The world is full of wonders, do you want to broaden your knowledge?

Cheng Lili wandered around in front of the small forbidden room for a long time, thinking about it, and the battle between heaven and man, and finally took out a coin and tossed heads and tails, the side with the words went in, and the side with the pattern left.

After 30 seconds, Cheng Lili went downstairs whistling.

When the coin fell, the side with the words was facing upwards, and the secret had been revealed, indicating that she could go inside to see what was going on. In this case, why should she be sneaky? Open the door, let her walk in dignifiedly to see clearly.

Everyone has a Norwegian forest in their hearts, where the lake is always clear and the air is full of tranquility. She suddenly hoped that the room was filled with meaningful and beautiful things, without any filth.

Today is the fourth day of cohabitation, after the novelty is over, the rest is self-satisfaction.She and Gu Jianyin have to go to work during the day, so they don't really spend much time alone. After dinner, Cheng Lili nestled on the sofa watching TV, and Gu Jianyin lay on her lap to play mobile games or check Weibo. Chatting with each other, it really feels like lovers living together.

When sleeping at night, Gu Jianyin always likes to hug her like a pillow. At the beginning, she was not used to it. She slept alone with the pillow for more than 20 years, and suddenly there was a gasping next to her. Once she woke up in the middle of the night and forgot her body Where, almost thought it was being crushed by a ghost, scaring half of his life for no reason.

But after a few days, I gradually got used to it. The weather was getting colder, and it was indeed warmer for the two of them to hug each other.

The doorbell of "Ding Dong" suddenly rang, and Cheng Lili hurried to open the door, secretly wondering who would be visiting at this time.

"Hello, is this Miss Cheng Lili?" A tall and thin young man in neat work uniform stood outside the door, and a familiar green postal van was parked behind him.

"Yes, it's me." Cheng Lili remembered that Zhong Xuan once said that she would buy a gift for herself online, but she didn't expect the timing to be so accurate.

"There is a courier for you." The young man took out the slip and asked her to sign for it, then turned around and opened the car door to pick up the goods.Cheng Lili signed her name, and as soon as she looked up, her eyes met a box that was half the height of a person.

Inside... it can't really be a person, can it?

Cheng Lili tried to lift it up vigorously, but it wasn't heavy, and she immediately understood that it must be something like a puppet to coax girls.

The postal car drove away, and Cheng Lili opened the cardboard box at the door, and pulled out a big white rabbit wrapped in cellophane.

With squinted eyes, a naughty smile, and a cheap expression no matter how you look at it, it's actually a rogue rabbit.

Anything is good, as long as it has a lot of weight, and it is polite and affectionate.

Cheng Lili also peeled off the cellophane, and a pink greeting card slid out. When she opened it, there were two lines of strange and beautiful characters inside: Happy birthday to Lili, your friend Xuan.It should be from the seller.

Cheng Lili carried the rogue rabbit into the house happily, and kept circling around happily.

The cell phone rang at this moment, Cheng Lili threw the rabbit on the sofa, and then searched for the cell phone all over the room.The bell stopped once during the period, but it rang again after a few seconds.

Cheng Lili followed the voice into the kitchen, and finally found the phone on the kitchen counter. She glanced at the caller ID, feeling a little surprised and pleasantly surprised.

"Hello, Mom?" The family seldom remembers her birthday, and every time they call, they just remind her to go back to her host family. They didn't expect to be so intentional this year.

"Lili, are you going to work now?"

The mother must have mistakenly thought that the reason for not answering the phone just now was due to work. Cheng Lili quickly explained: "I'm off work, and I just couldn't answer it in time."

"Oh..." The mother hesitated to speak on the other end, and Cheng Lili suddenly and keenly realized that the call had nothing to do with birthday wishes, but something that might happen at home.

"Mom, what's going on?" After going through all possible and impossible accidents in her mind, Cheng Lili was fully prepared.

"Your brother got into trouble." The mother choked up and said this.

Cheng Lili was stunned, thinking, one day Cheng Xiaoqiang will not cause trouble?That kid was spoiled by his family, he had no respect for his elders, he was neither old nor young, and when he was in junior high school he got together with a group of gangsters and caused trouble everywhere.

"Xiaoqiang may go to jail this time." The mother's voice was both angry and sad, "It's all my fault that your father and I failed to discipline him well, and let him be lawless... He ran to fight with others and stabbed the child. I thought it would be enough to pay some medical expenses, but I didn't expect that the other party had a lot of background, and said that we must sue Xiaoqiang and put him in prison... Lili, what do you think we should do?"

Cheng Lili listened quietly, her expression a little numb.What can be done?If you come out to play around, you will have to pay it back sooner or later.People are floating in the rivers and lakes, how can they not be knifed?If you go to jail, you will go to jail, and you will be a hero again after 18 years.

"Lili, I discussed it with your father, we plan to collect some money to send it over there, so that they don't tell us Xiaoqiang, do you think it's okay?"

Cheng Lili nodded, and then remembered that her mother could not be seen on the other end of the phone, so she answered "yes" lightly.

You have all discussed it, and you still come to ask me what to do, whether it will be too much.

"Then, that Lili..." The next words are the key point, the mother is a little embarrassed, "How much money do you have on hand now?"

"How much money are you short?" Cheng Lili asked back.She found that her mentality was actually pretty good, she wasn't flustered at all, and she was as calm as if nothing happened to her family.

The other end pondered for a while before saying: "Your dad and I want to make up 3 yuan, and now we are still about [-] yuan short."

Cheng Lili thought for a while and said, "How is the child who was stabbed?"

"I was discharged from the hospital the next day. It wasn't serious at all. It's just that his family has too much background... Sigh, Xiaoqiang was unlucky, and he messed with people who shouldn't be messed with."

"I don't think they care about the tens of thousands of dollars. Even if we give it, they may not be willing to let Cheng Xiaoqiang go..." Before Cheng Lili finished speaking, her mother gasped suddenly.

"That's your brother!" The mother suddenly became excited, "Do you want to leave him alone?"

"Mom, I didn't mean that..."

"That's what you meant just now!" The mother's breathing became rapid and heavy, "Your brother is about to be sued in prison, we have to try everything, whether it is money or begging on your knees. Well, you can't just sit back and do nothing!"

Cheng Lili quickly said: "Okay, okay, I understand, 2 yuan, let me think of a way."

After hearing this, my mother finally calmed down, and she said: "Something happened at home, you should take a leave of absence and come back. Your father is old and can't stand it. If your brother is really...really..." Mother I can't go on.

Cheng Lili said: "Okay, okay, I will ask for leave to go back, don't be too sad, the situation is not desperate yet, let's find a solution together."

The mother sobbed softly on the other end: "Well, then you come back as soon as possible, remember to collect enough money."
