What a pity to miss the rebirth

The time in the bottom right corner of the laptop jumps to 22:00.

"It's already ten o'clock." Shuang had to remind him loudly.

"Oh. I'll look for it again." Liu Yingnian replied with some incomprehension.

Shuang narrowed her eyes and looked at Liu Yingnian's side face, as if trying to see through his true thoughts, her eyes fixed on his face. "What exactly are you looking for?"

Liu Yingnian glanced at him from the corner of his eye, and then looked back at the bookshelf in front of him, pretending to continue looking for books. "I want to see if you have any novels that are easier to understand."

The books here were arranged after they moved in. Most of them are from the book list of Shuang Lie, bought directly from the online bookstore, and some are Lin Lan who came to the study once, and there are still many vacant places on the bookshelves. , After going back, he opened the mouth of the prince directly and sent the subordinates of the Lin family to send it.Although Lin Lan is not the prince of the Lin family, after the death of the young master of the Lin family, Lin Lan's status is not that of the prince, but better than that of the prince.

Liu Yingnian looked at the rows of professional books, as well as a bunch of domestic and foreign crime-solving suspense novels, science fiction novels, war history novels, etc., etc., he was not interested in any of them.

Liu Yingnian doesn't like reading very much. He occasionally reads some to pass the time. He also chooses short essays, short stories, etc. He even picks the shortest science fiction novels.

As soon as Shuang heard it, he knew that what he said was an excuse.

Liu Yingnian has been behaving abnormally tonight. During the meal, he kept glancing at him from time to time, as if he had something to say.Shuang was in a bad mood and deliberately ignored him, so she never picked up on him.Unexpectedly, after dinner, he went back to his study to read, and after reading for about an hour, he heard a knock on the door.

Liu Yingnian said that he has been looking at the computer for too long recently, and the radiation is a bit strong, which is not good for the eyes, so he wanted to find a book to read back, and read it before going to bed.What he said was reasonable, so Shuang let him go.Who would have thought that after searching for it for more than half an hour, he couldn't find it, and kept lingering in front of the bookshelf.

Shuang turned over a page of the book, but had no intention of continuing to read. He glanced at the paragraphs that were no longer attractive to him. He raised his eyes and glanced at Liu Yingnian. stood up. "I'll help you find it."

Liu Yingnian's hands froze, and the book he had just pulled out to make a mockery fell from his hands, making close contact with the floor, making a thick and muffled sound.

Shuang's gaze made him a little nervous. He hurriedly bent down to pick up the book, not daring to look at Shuang's face, and stuffed the book back indiscriminately, "Don't bother! I, I can just find it myself!"

A palm slightly larger than his was resting on the back of his hand pressed against the spine of the book.

Liu Yingnian subconsciously raised his head to look at Shuang, the temperature from the back of his hand made him want to retract his hand, he tried, but he didn't retract, Shuang used a little bit of strength to stop his hand from moving.

Shuang stared at Liu Yingnian's face, "What's the matter with you?"

Liu Yingnian's gaze wandered over his face, resisting the desire to look away immediately. "I want to find a book."

Shuang narrowed her long eyes slightly.

"I, I want to talk to you." Liu Yingnian's eyelids twitched, his lips were drawn into a straight line, and he told the truth.

Shuang was noncommittal, but he was very interested in the reason why Liu Yingnian had been watching his expression carefully tonight. "What did Shui Lian tell you?"

Liu Yingnian's eyelids twitched again. "She mentioned about your brother."

Shuang's expression remained unchanged, and she only made a nasal sound.He turned around and walked slowly back to his seat to sit down, raising his eyes to signal Liu Yingnian to continue.

Liu Yingnian pulled the chair she used to sit on to Shuang's table, sat down, and said sincerely: "But she doesn't want to talk too much, she said, if you talk too much, you will be unhappy."

"Then why are you here?" Shuang asked, "You know I will be unhappy, so why are you here to ask?"

Although what he said was cold and his expression was also cold, but he didn't intend to refuse to talk, which made Liu Yingnian heaved a sigh of relief.

"Because I think we need to talk." Liu Yingnian felt very brave today.

"About what?" Frost asked.

"You see, the reason and process of our acquaintance are a bit unusual." Liu Yingnian looked at his face and saw that he hadn't changed before continuing, "Even though we've known each other for so long, whether it's you I don't know anything about me, or about you. Don't you think it's unusual?"

"What's wrong?"

"..."

"You want to know me?" Shuang asked him again.

"No, don't get me wrong!" Liu Yingnian was afraid that he would be disgusted, so he quickly waved his hands and said, "I didn't mean to ask you something, I just suddenly felt that there are too many things I don't know. And these things I don't know Among the things, some are very important to me. Of course, if I ask you, you can say what you want, or you don't want to. I don't force it. "

He tried his best to put on a kind face, exuding his innocence and kindness to Shuang.

The color in Shuang Mou dimmed slightly, looking at him with complexities that Liu Yingnian couldn't understand, but his expression was not obvious, and his mood swings were very slight, even if Liu Yingnian felt something different , and can't guess the reason.

A man who wishes to conceal another can always do so, provided he is not very stupid.

Not to mention someone like Shuang who seldom shows his expression.

"What do you want to know?" He asked lightly.

Liu Yingnian took a deep breath secretly, faced Shuang's cold gaze, and said bravely, "I want to know about your brother, you, and Li Xianghua."

In fact, what he wanted to know most was about the Mercenary City.Because he was already thinking that what happened back then might have something to do with the Mercenary City.But this question involved a lot, and it involved the secrets of the Mercenary City. Even if he didn't ask Shuang, he knew he shouldn't ask.

Shuang was silent for a long time, so silent that Liu Yingnian wanted to give up, and then she heard Shuang asked him with a blank expression: "How much did Shui Lian say? You said that I was rejected and hated by the Ji family." ?"

Liu Yingnian's eyes suddenly widened.

"No? Does that mean that I was thrown to the mercenary city by my parents when I was one and a half years old, and I didn't like my brother?" Shuang looked at his reaction, "Or did it just mean that I don't look like my father? It seems so. Although Shui Lian sometimes tends to follow subjective feelings when doing things, she still knows how to measure."

Liu Yingnian's heart sank, and only then did she realize why Shui Lian didn't want to continue talking.

Now he is a little unsure whether to ask further.

Shuang seemed to see his hesitation, glanced at him coldly and said: "What are you afraid of? There is nothing to say, but these are facts, and it is not a secret. But now you have a chance to choose, choose to give up or continue to listen. If you choose to give up, I will treat you as if you didn't come tonight; if you choose to continue listening, then you will pay the price."
