It's finally the last day of exam week.

Jiang Yu went to school by car. Before getting off the car, Qin Yuan asked, "Master Xiaoyu, did you finish the exam in the morning? Do you want me to pick you up at noon?"

Jiang Yu subconsciously glanced at Pei Lie, who lowered his eyes without lifting his eyelids.

He pursed his lips and said, "No need Brother Qin, I will stay at school after the exam, and you can pick me up after you go back, so as not to trouble you to make a trip."

Qin Yuan glanced at Pei Lie in the rearview mirror and saw that he had no objection: "Okay, but the Patriarch will have a meeting all day today, and it may have to wait until evening."

"It's okay." Jiang Yu smiled, "I can just go to the library and read a book."

After getting off the car, Jiang Yu watched the car turn at the intersection, turned around, and walked slowly towards the school. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure, and when he looked again, it was——

"Cloudscape!"

He trotted two steps over and patted Yun Jing on the shoulder, startling the latter.

Yun Jing looked nervous: "Why are you here?"

"Why can't I be here?" Jiang Yu looked puzzled.

Yun Jing glanced back quickly, seeing that Jiang Ping's car had already turned the corner, he breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "I was so excited to see you so early in the morning."

Jiang Yu narrowed his eyes suspiciously.Yunjing's face was ruddy, and he was completely different from the sickly state before.

Combined with his recent state, there is always something tricky.

Walking side by side to school, Jiang Yu remembered Yunjing's bold words before: "Aren't you going to fall in love? How about it? Do you have a goal?"

Yun Jing said righteously: "What nonsense are you talking about? When did I say that I was going to fall in love? Stop framing me."

Jiang Yu glanced at him speechlessly: "The chat records will prove my innocence."

Yun Jing paused for two seconds, changed his attitude, took Jiang Yu's arm, and said in a flattering tone: "Good little fish, I'm talking nonsense, delete it quickly, I'll treat you to dinner!"

If Jiang Ping saw what he said, it would be a disaster.

Jiang Yule: "Are you so nervous? Is it possible that I can post it for you on the Internet? Even if I post it on the Internet, everyone knows that you, Young Master Yun, are looking for friends, so you still rush to sign up."

Yun Jing was so angry that he wanted to hit him.

While joking, the two walked into the teaching building and ran into Tang Zijia when they went up the stairs.Tang Zijia nodded at the cloud spot, and asked Jiang Yu, "Don't forget in a while."

Jiang Yu made an OK gesture: "Don't worry, I will definitely not forget."

After Tang Zijia left, Yun Jing approached and asked curiously, "What code are you guys talking about, so mysterious?"

Jiang Yu: "I made an appointment with him to play tennis after the exam. Are you going?"

Yun Jing's hands touched his stomach subconsciously: "I won't go."

He observed the expression on Jiang Yu's face, hesitated, and reminded: "Xiaoyu, don't you think you and Tang Zijia are getting too close?"

Jiang Yu was taken aback, and instantly understood Yun Jing's meaning: "It's just a game of ball, don't overthink it. We are a normal classmate relationship."

Yun Jing simply put the words aside: "I know you definitely don't have any other ideas, but Senior Tang, don't you notice that there is something wrong with the way he looks at you?"

Jiang Yu was irritable for no reason, why was it his eyes again.Pei Lie's secretary said that Pei Lie looked at him with gentle eyes, and now Yun Jing said that Tang Zijia looked at him with something wrong.

Just looking at the eyes can tell a fart.

He interrupted impatiently: "You really think too much, and Tang Zijia is about to get engaged."

Yun Jing let out an "oh" and didn't continue talking.

Jiang Yu changed the subject: "Are you staying at school for lunch?"

"No." Yun Jing shook his head, narrowed his eyes and smiled, with a light tone, "I'm going home."

The last exam was over, and the classroom was boiling immediately, and the students were discussing where to celebrate.Even though Huada Finance is an ace major, with a top student per capita, after the ravages of the exam week, it is urgent to relax.

Jiang Yu packed his schoolbag, and when he walked out of the classroom, Tang Zijia was already waiting for him in the corridor. When he saw him, he handed him a piece of chocolate: "Replenish some energy first, so that your legs won't go weak for a while."

Jiang Yu tore open the package and took a hard bite: "Wait a minute, it doesn't matter which of us will be weak first."

With a lot of energy in his heart, he lost three straight games in the opening game and beat Tang Zijia 3-0. Later, in terms of physical strength, Tang Zijia tied all the way and even overtook him.

In the last game, Jiang Yu leaned back when he caught the ball, his center of gravity was unstable, and he fell to the ground.

"No more, no more." He threw the racket aside, resting his hands on the ground, panting.

"Okay, stop fighting." Tang Zijia walked over with a smile, and pulled his wrist, "Don't sit down, get up and walk."

Jiang Yu wanted to stand up, but he felt a sharp pain in his left ankle.He said "Ouch", and when he was about to sit back on the ground, Tang Zijia pulled him up with a sudden force.

The two shoulders bumped together.

Jiang Yu's left foot hurt when he exerted a little force, so he had to put his weight on his right leg and hold on to Tang Zijia's arm to finally stand still.

Tang Zijia bent down, rolled up his trouser legs and looked at it, then touched his ankle: "There is no fracture, it should just be twisted, I will help you to sit on the chair."

Jiang Yu nodded and hopped on one leg.Tang Zijia couldn't help but pick up his knees and hug him up.

"Hey - what are you doing, I can walk by myself, you let me down."

Tang Zijia glanced at him and spit out three words: "Don't talk nonsense."

Fortunately, the chair was right by the side of the field, and within two steps, Jiang Yu was put down by Tang Zijia before he could feel embarrassed.

The two sat down on chairs next to each other.

Tang Zijia dug out the water from the bag, unscrewed the lid and handed it over. Jiang Yu thanked him and took a big gulp to hide his discomfort.

Because of the final exam, there were only the two of them on the originally crowded tennis court.

very quiet.

Jiang Yu was sweating all over and was so hot that he lifted his collar to fan the wind, his cheeks were flushed from the strenuous exercise, his eyes were washed black and bright with sweat, and his hair dripping with sweat was sticking limply to his smooth forehead .

When the collar is opened and closed, the slender collarbone and fair skin can be vaguely seen.

Tang Zijia's eyes darkened, he looked away and looked forward.

Although he twisted his foot at the end, Jiang Yu was very happy. The pressure brought by the exam and the irritability brought by Pei Lie seemed to flow out of his sweat, making him feel relaxed.

In contrast, Tang Zijia was obviously not in a high mood.

Thinking of the engagement Tang Zijia mentioned last time, Jiang Yu took the initiative to start the conversation: "Senior, are you really going to get engaged?"

"Yes." Tang Zijia looked at the empty space and was silent for a moment, "Are you coming then?"

Jiang Yu wanted to say that of course he would go, but when he thought of Pei Lie's uncertain attitude, he was a little uncertain.

"No way, so shameless?" Tang Zijia looked at him and said half-jokingly, "I still count on Uncle and Aunt Pei to support me."

Jiang Yu choked on his words "Aunt Pei", and didn't know how to answer, so he just smiled.

Tang Zijia saw that something was wrong with him, and raised his eyebrows: "What, did you quarrel with Pei Lie?"

Jiang Yu's tone was a bit sour: "I'm not worthy of arguing with others, I still have some self-knowledge."

Tang Zijia shrugged slightly, and suddenly said: "Actually, my fiancee and I have only met once, can you believe it?"

Jiang Yu looked over in surprise, and heard Tang Zijia say: "On the day the engagement was confirmed, the two families met for the first time and the only time when they had dinner together. The other party has a high degree of education, comes from a big family, and has first-class conversation skills. "

Even though he said so, he didn't feel the slightest joy of getting engaged, and his tone was so flat that he seemed to be telling someone else's story.

Jiang Yu suddenly remembered what Yun Jing said, in a family like Tang Zijia, marriage is a bargaining chip in the exchange of family interests, and it is not up to him to make decisions.

He couldn't help feeling a little sympathetic, but he didn't know how to comfort Tang Zijia, so he bumped Tang Zijia on the shoulder, and the Coke bottle reached out to clink glasses with him.

Tang Zijia raised the corners of his mouth, raised his head and drank the remaining Coke in the bottle.

Thinking of something suddenly, Tang Zijia bent down, rummaged through his bag, and found a bottle of spray.

"I almost forgot I still have this." He squatted beside Jiang Yu's feet, fixed Jiang Yu's ankle with one hand, and sprayed the sprain twice with the other hand, "This is specially for sprains, and the effect is very good." Well, you should be fine if you rest for a while."

"Thank you, senior." Jiang Yu turned his ankle, and it was indeed no longer in pain, and said with a smile, "Why do you even have this kind of thing? You are so careful."

Low voices of talking and laughing escaped from the crack of the door, and all of them reached Pei Lie's ears.

He stood outside the door, through an unclosed door, watching Jiang Yu running freely on the court, watching him being picked up by Tang Zijia after he fell, watching them sitting side by side on chairs with their backs to him , talking and laughing happily.

Put your hand on the doorknob, and with a slight push, the door will open.

Pei Lie stood on the spot for a long time, his fingers gradually closed into fists.

Qin Yuan waited outside the tennis hall, watched Pei Lie walk in, and came out 10 minutes later by himself, with a rare gloomy expression.

He went forward to meet him, and was about to ask Jiang Yu why he didn't come out with him, when Pei Lie said, "Go back."

Qin Yuan was stunned for two seconds: "Where are you going?"

"Company." After Pei Lie finished speaking, he went straight into the car.



After Jiang Yu played the ball, although his ankle was still aching, he could walk without any problem.After bidding farewell to Tang Zijia, he went to the library to sit for a while, and Qin Yuan didn't call him until the library was closed.

It's so late, is Pei Lie still busy?

He had no choice but to take the initiative to call Qin Yuan.

Called, but no one answered.

what's the situation?

Jiang Yu stood at the door of the library with her schoolbag on her back, shivering uncontrollably as the cold wind poured into her neck.

After thinking about it, he walked towards the school gate and called Qin Yuan while walking, but still no one answered.

It was mid-January at this time, the coldest time of the year in Hwaseong, and the cold wind was howling, blowing on the face like a knife.In just 10 minutes from the library to the school gate, Jiang Yu felt his face was going to freeze.

He wrapped his coat tightly and walked around the school gate twice, but he didn't see the familiar black car.

Maybe Pei Lie is still busy, he doesn't want to go to Pei's, so he might as well go back to Pei's house first.

At such a late hour, the bus service has been stopped. Even if it does not stop, the farthest is only at the foot of the mountain and cannot go up the mountain.Jiang Yu stopped a taxi by the side of the road. When the driver heard that he was going up the mountain at night, he immediately shook his head: "Young man, it's not that I don't want to take you, it's just that I'm not familiar with the road conditions and I'm afraid of accidents because I'm going up the mountain in the middle of the night. When you go up the mountain, there must be an empty car when you go down the mountain, and it’s not worthwhile to count all the ups and downs.”

A few more cars were stopped, and the drivers all gave the same reason for refusing to board.

The night grew darker.

The winter vacation is here, the restaurants and shops around Huada closed early, and the surroundings are pitch black, without the bustle of the past, it seems inexplicably desolate.

The only source of light is the convenience store across the road.

Seeing that the phone was about to run out of battery, Jiang Yu had no choice but to walk towards the convenience store.

He bought a cup of hot milk tea, borrowed a power bank from the clerk, walked to the high chair by the window in the store, sat down, watched the phone charge, and then heaved a sigh of relief.

Holding the palm of my hand with milk tea, I felt a little warmer.

Jiang Yu took out his mobile phone and called Jiang Ping.

Jiang Ping didn't know what he was doing, and when he answered the phone, his voice was very low.

"Brother, are you still off work?" Jiang Yu thought he was still busy.

Jiang Ping was silent for a few seconds, and then said: "No, I'm off work. Xiaoyu, why are you calling me so late?"

Jiang Yu stirred the milk tea in front of him, sniffed: "It's okay, I just miss you a little bit."

Jiang Ping keenly caught the background sound of "Welcome" on the phone, and immediately asked, "Where are you now?"

"I'm at home."

Jiang Ping was silent for a moment, and his tone became severe: "Don't lie to me. Tell me where you are, and I will go find you now."

Seeing that Jiang Yu couldn't hide it, he could only tell the truth: "I'm at the convenience store in front of the school, but Pei Lie will be there soon."

Hearing Pei Lie's name, Jiang Ping frowned, and said unquestionably, "Turn on your mobile phone with me for real-time location, don't run around, I'll be there in 10 minutes."

After he finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

Jiang Yu glanced at the time, thought about it, and called Qin Yuan again.

Still no answer.

……

Beside the gate of Huada University, a black car parked quietly at the entrance of the alley under the cover of night.

After the phone stopped vibrating, Qin Yuan glanced at Pei Lie in the rearview mirror.

Pei Lie turned his face sideways and looked out the window in silence, his pupils reflected the thin figure in the convenience store.

Jiang Yu was a little anxious. In the past, when he called Qin Yuan, the other party always answered in seconds. It is really abnormal that there are no one answering several calls in a row.

Could it be that something happened to Pei Lie?

This thought flashed through his mind, Jiang Yu couldn't sit still, and immediately made a voice call to Ada.

On the other end of the phone, Ada's voice was hoarse, as if she had fallen asleep and was woken up.

Jiang Yu's heart sank.

Sure enough, Ada said in surprise: "Mr. Jiang, President Pei canceled the last meeting today and left the group at 03:30."

That's why she was able to get off work early and take a beauty sleep.

Jiang Yu was silent for a while: "Thank you, I'm sorry to disturb your rest so late."

Ada wisely didn't ask much.

Twenty minutes later, a car stopped in front of the convenience store.

Jiang Ping is here.

Jiang Yu jumped off the chair, returned the power bank to the clerk, and got into Jiang Ping's car.

Jiang Ping started the car without saying a word.

Looking at the Huada school gate being left behind, Jiang Yu was a little anxious: "Brother, where are you taking me? Pei Lie—"

Jiang Ping squinted at him: "Didn't you say that Pei Lie will be there soon? Check what time it is, and he will let you stay alone at the school gate?"

The end of the new year is approaching, and various crimes occur frequently. A person like Jiang Yu who looks like a good student, alone at night, can easily become the target of criminals.

Jiang Yu expressed his worries: "Brother, do you have a way to find him?"

Jiang Ping snorted, glanced in the rearview mirror at the black car that had been following behind, and his face became a little colder: "I don't want to care about you and Pei Lie. Instead of worrying about him, you should worry about him." You yourself. Jiang Yu, you are not allowed to go anywhere tonight, you must go home with me."

Jiang Yu didn't say a word, lowered his head, clutching his phone.

Galloping all the way to the downstairs of the apartment, Jiang Yu got out of the car and was about to follow Jiang Ping upstairs when he heard someone calling his name behind him.

He turned his head and saw Pei Lie standing under the dim streetlight, looking at him with deep eyes, and said slowly, "Come here."
