not in love

Tan Chaolu is actually not stupid.

She can still vividly remember what happened to Leslie on the day of the accident. If Lin Xie hadn't threatened her with Lin Xi, she would have planned to keep the incident of that day in her stomach for the rest of her life.

Because whether it is the Lin family or Leslie's family, they are all prosperous families that have been prosperous for hundreds of years and can be called wealthy. Tan Chaolu knows that if he wants to survive in such a family, he must learn to be deaf and dumb.

"It was such a winter, you must remember,"

Tan Chaolu sighed lowly, recalling what happened that day with difficulty,

"As usual, I wanted to wake up Leslie who was taking a nap. After her mental state deteriorated, she was often lethargic and slept until three o'clock in the afternoon every day. But that day I found that there was only one shawl left in the bedroom, and Leslie was not on the bed. ..."

At that time, Tan Chaolu was sweating profusely. She was worried that Leslie would run around in the garden. It was not like the heating was turned on outside the house. If Leslie was frozen, she might be fired.

After searching all the places Leslie frequented, but there was no one there, Tan Chaolu finally ran up to the terrace outside the attic on the highest part of the mansion, thinking that she might be able to find Leslie from a distance. Sally's trail.

The moment she pushed open the balcony door, Tan Chaolu was pleasantly surprised to find Leslie leaning against the railing.

She was only wearing a thin pajamas, which were blowing loudly in the cold wind.

"Madam! You will catch a cold like this. I brought you the coat. Let's put on the coat and enjoy the scenery, shall we?"

Tan Chaolu coaxed softly that Leslie's emotions are extremely sensitive recently, and she often acts like a child, and she needs to be treated patiently.

"Ma'am? Are you obedient?"

Seeing that Leslie ignored her, Tan Chaolu took two steps forward.

After hearing the movement, Leslie finally turned her head slowly and took a look at her, but this glance made Tan Zhaolu feel creepy - Leslie's eyes were too empty and calm, and there was no expression on her face, which made Tan Chaolu feel Very strange.

"Lai, Leslie...?"

Tan Chaolu opened her hands worriedly towards her, Leslie always said that hugging is the best way to express kindness,

"Let's go back to our room, shall we?"

Leslie turned a deaf ear to Tan Chaolu's words, she was silent for a long time, then suddenly said softly:

"You know, I've been found."

"Of course, I found you. Do you want to play hide and seek?"

Tan Chaolu didn't dare to act rashly, but felt that Leslie's current behavior was very strange, so she quietly turned on the recording software on her mobile phone, so as to avoid any accidents that she could not explain clearly.

"Shall we go in and continue playing? Isn't it time for you to come to me?"

Tan Chaolu wanted to coax Leslie away from the terrace first, but Leslie hummed to herself.

"What song is this? I haven't heard you sing before... Ma'am——!"

Tan Chaolu hadn't finished speaking, but Leslie suddenly tiptoed up the railing, and jumped down without hesitation in the blink of an eye.

"Lai... Leslie...?! Leslie!!"

Tan Chaolu's eyes widened in horror, and he flew to the railing to look down, but saw an even more desperate scene.

Leslie fell in front of Xiao Linxie who had just returned home.

Terrible blood splashed the snow-colored white roses in the garden. Lu Yuan, who was following Lin Xie, was fashionable and young. Seeing this, he howled out in fright. After realizing it, he immediately covered Lin Xie's eyes and pushed him to the ground. Plug it in the car.

Tan Chaolu's legs were so frightened that her legs became weak, and she was stunned on the balcony for a long time without being able to stand up until her body was frozen to the bone. Butler Lu Yao found her and helped her back into the house.

Lin Xie had a fever for several days, and Tan Chaolu was even more frightened. When she finally recovered, she wanted to tell Governor Lin about Leslie's anomaly before she jumped off the building, but she heard that Governor Lin had withdrawn the case and no longer pursued it. They even announced that Leslie died of depression and illness with a unified caliber.

Governor Lin's love for Leslie is deep. Tan Chaolu can understand it best, and even he doesn't pursue it anymore. Naturally, Tan Zhaolu knows how deep the water is, so he never mentioned the recording.

Until today, Lin Xie came to confront her.

After listening to Tan Chaolu's memories, Yu Zhijuan probably guessed why Lin Xie invited him to this meal today. Seeing that the cabbage-stuffed meat roll tasted pretty good, Yu Zhijuan asked,

"You said Mrs. Leslie looked weird before she jumped down the stairs, can you describe it more specifically?"

"Uh……"

Tan Chaolu didn't expect that the person asking her question would be Yu Zhiyi, she instinctively looked at Lin Xie, and seeing that Lin Xie had no intention of blocking her, she answered truthfully,

"Let me use an analogy. She gave me the feeling that she was haunted and didn't wake up. Her words were vague... What did she say that she was found? I really thought she was in a dream. Playing hide and seek is like being hysterical."

"Well,"

Yu Zhijuan pondered for a moment, then asked again,

"Do you still have the recording?"

"……Have."

Tan Chaolu paused, "I heard it myself later, but it was very windy on the terrace, so I didn't know... and I searched for a long time but couldn't find out what song Madam was singing at that time."

While talking, she found the ten-second recording from the folder with the password in her mobile phone and played it to Lin Xie and the others. In just ten seconds, there was the sound of howling wind and shrill screams. Leslie The song he was humming was extremely vague, and he couldn't even hear the melody clearly.

"Is it a foreign language song?"

Lin Xie held his breath and listened to it several times before he could hear a few intermittent foreign words, but he couldn't put them together.

He asked Yu Zhijuan this question, Yu Zhijuan nodded lightly, before he had time to listen again, Lu Yao knocked on the door of the restaurant,

"Master, Mr. Yu, I didn't expect you two to still be in the restaurant."

Lu Yao smiled politely, and before he came in, Tan Chaolu quickly put away the phone,

"I saw that Xixi liked Mr. Yu very much, so I couldn't help but chat with him for a while."

Tan Chaolu explained, got up and helped pass the freshly squeezed grapefruit juice brought in by Lu Yao to Yu Zhijuan.

"Is Mr. Yu really not staying overnight tonight? It's getting late."

Lu Yao looked at Yu Zhijuan, his eyes full of scrutiny.

Yu Zhijuan was very familiar with this kind of gaze, he smiled gently without revealing any flaws,

"I was going to go."

"I send you."

Lin Xie also got up, and when the two went out, they heard a commotion upstairs, and saw Lin Xi rushing over with her slippers on,

"Idol! Are you leaving?"

Lin Xi was obviously very reluctant, she hesitated for two seconds, and boldly took out her mobile phone,

"Can we... add a WeChat account? Don't worry, idol, I will definitely not harass you, and I will never disclose your information."

"can."

Yu Zhijuan saw that Lin Xie didn't refuse because of Lin Xie's face. After adding Lin Xi's WeChat, he saw that her profile picture was her holding a huge Labrador, so he asked casually,

"Your family has a dog?"

"I raised it with my friends and didn't bring it back to China,"

When Lin Xi said this, she glanced at Lin Xie secretly, then pulled Yu Zhijuan and complained in a low voice,

"My brother is afraid of this little furry animal, so he won't let him keep it at home."

"That's it."

Yu Zhijuan glanced at Lin Xie meaningfully, Lin Xie obviously heard Lin Xi's words clearly, and gave her a slightly threatening look, Lin Xi stuck out her tongue, and bounced back with her phone in her hands. Room.

In the evening, Lin Xie didn't ask Lu Yuan to work overtime, but he personally drove Yu Zhijuan home so that he could discuss what Tan Chaolu said just now.

"You are afraid of hairy pets, but what about furless pets like turtles or snakes?"

Yu Zhijuan teased while fastening his seat belt.

"It's not that I'm afraid, it's that I don't like it."

Lin Xie corrected him and said,

"And it doesn't matter whether there is hair or not. I don't like keeping pets."

Yu Zhijuan sneered when he heard the words, apparently not believing it.

"Did you bring me here tonight to use me as a lie detector?"

"Thought you should be better at it,"

Lin Xie smiled,

"See what?"

"I'm sure she didn't lie, but I can't tell what kind of state Mrs. Leslie was in just from her description."

"Do you think it might be hypnotized?"

"I can't draw conclusions,"

Yu Zhijuan said frankly,

"Especially since you seem willing to trust me."

"Then let me ask another question. Is it feasible to hypnotize a person and make her commit suicide?"

"It's not impossible with medication."

Yu Zhijuan paused,

"Besides, I may have heard that last song your mother sang. It's more like a Gran Scot than a song."

"Ok?"

"'inthedarkblueskyyoukeep, foryounevershutyoureye', if I hear you right, that's the line?"

"That's pretty much what I heard, but I don't know where it came from."

"It's Jane Taylor's Star,"

Yu Zhijuan explained,

"Many versions translate it as 'look at my face through the curtains, eyes that can never be closed', which sounds kind of creepy..."

"Goo-"

Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by the growl from his stomach, and the car fell into a frozen silence for a while.

In the end, it was Lin Xie who spoke first,

"Didn't you have enough tonight?"

"...Who would have thought that there is no staple food for dinner in your family."

Yu Zhijuan was upset.

The only staple food is a bowl of longevity noodles. He can't compete with Lin Xie, the birthday star, to eat longevity noodles.

Lin Xie smiled helplessly and changed the navigation destination.

"What?"

Yu Zhijuan saw that he changed his destination to a French restaurant.

"Take you to supper."

"I don't want to eat that flashy stuff,"

Yu Zhijuan refused, suddenly had an idea,

"Since it's your birthday, why don't I invite you to my favorite restaurant for a meal."

As he spoke, he was about to change seats with Lin Xie, and Lin Xie let him control the steering wheel.

"What restaurant?"

"You will know when you go."

Yu Zhijuan snapped his fingers and kicked the accelerator to bring Lin Xie to his beloved two sisters, snail fans.
