"I, I'm at home." I said an insincere lie in embarrassment, "You, why would you ask such a question..."

"at home?"

Probably because I was too guilty, obviously Suman's tone was not particularly suspicious, but I was inexplicably frightened, oops, did she hear the sound of the car?

"No, I mean, I'm outside now, and I'll be back in a while." From the very beginning of choosing to hide, the lies are destined to spread farther and farther, and the more they tell.I bit my lip, disgusting myself in the bottom of my heart.

"Well, go back early." Suman said lightly, "Sigui, is everything okay at home?"

Huh, she didn't doubt it?After a brief surprise, there was a deep disappointment, Jimo Sigui, enough is enough, you are actually happy that you have cheated Suman?

"Everything is fine at home, don't worry..." I can't imagine how frightened and sad my parents would be if they knew that I might be infected with HIV.

"That's good."

That's good?I stared blankly at Suman's faint words. Although it was only a few seconds, it seemed more like a 100-year-long time.

I thought she would say something else, but unexpectedly, she only told me to take care of myself and hung up the phone.I grabbed my phone and sent it in a daze for a while, and when I came back to my senses, the cold red and ice blue neon had gradually faded, the roof of the sports car was lowered, and the mercury-like moonlight shone on the transparent windshield superior.Only then did I realize that Ji Yuzhen drove the car down the mountain.Is she taking me to her house?

Not long after, the Ji family's mansion was already in sight.Ji Yuzhen took me straight to the main house, whispered some instructions to the butler, and soon the butler came in with a middle-aged man.

"Look at her face." Ji Yuzhen crossed his arms and sank into the soft off-white sofa.

"Okay, Miss Ji."

After receiving the order, the man sat me aside, quickly treated the bruises on my face, applied ice compresses, and explained everything in detail before taking the medicine box.

During this period, Ji Yuzhen answered the phone, but I don't know if I was thinking too much. When she was talking on the phone, she looked straight at me, and I felt a wave of fear: This call...is related to me?

Qingzhi has a lot of things to explain to her. Seeing that she sent even the housekeeper, I cleared my throat, "Miss Ji, I can explain this matter."

"You should explain it carefully." She stared at me and her eyes suddenly heated up. "That girl is HIV patient? Did you know it early?"

I didn't intend to hide it, so I nodded frankly. "yes."

"And what about her parents? Also?"

"I don't know. However, Xiao He's disease was contracted when he was raped." Lowering his head, he subconsciously stroked the bite mark on his upper arm, and told Ji Yuzhen the whole story of how I met Xiao He. "Miss Ji, if you mind, I will take their mother and daughter away tomorrow, and I won't cause you any trouble."

"Why did you keep it from her?" Ji Yuzhen asked, ignoring my words, calm but clearly unquestionable.

"Who?" After I asked, I knew it in my heart, and I couldn't help hesitating, "It's nothing..."

Her gaze sliced ​​through my heart like a sharp knife, "There's nothing you would be willing to avoid her for?"

Are you willing?It's such a painful word.But if I don't give up and stay by her side, what should I do if I cause her greater and heavier harm?Compared with two evils, whichever is lesser, such a naked truth is in front of me, I can't bear it, so what can I do?There are not so many voice-overs and third-person perspectives in life, and these episodes may only be silently remembered in the hearts of the parties forever.As for Suman, the happiest thing is that she never knows.

"You don't need to worry about this matter anymore." As if she knew that she would not be able to wait for my answer, Ji Yuzhen gave up making eye contact with me. "You can't control it, and you can't afford it."

"What do you mean?"

"The people behind them, you can't move."

The answer I knew by heart, I insisted on asking, in exchange for Ji Yuzhen's indifferent sneer. "Don't be convinced, this is the way the world is, the strong prey on the weak. Jimo, blindly insisting on justice is not kindness, it's stupid."

"So, you already know who is behind the scenes?" Ignoring her sarcasm, I was curious, did the bodyguard detect it when they intercepted him?

"Originally it was only a three-point suspicion. After you finished the whole story, I can be sure." Ji Yuzhen suddenly got up and went to the bar on the side, opened the wine cabinet and took out a red wine, pouring the wine while pondering. "You live here for a few days first, and leave after the matter is resolved."

Hearing that she intended to intervene, I couldn't help but feel moved. According to what she said, that person is very powerful, but will he be stronger than her?And if she is willing to intervene, does it mean that she is actually not afraid?

"Don't think that I will help you intervene in this matter." As if seeing what I was thinking, she handed over a wine glass, her half-smiling eyes turned from the bottom of her eyes, and she quickly regained her composure. "I'm a businessman. I only want money, not grudges."

"If that's the case, why keep me?" I was choked by her, and my heart darkened.

"Do you have to be beaten to the bone to be convinced?" Her face suddenly became serious.

"I only do what I think I should do." Put the cup on the coffee table and take a deep look at the bite mark on the arm.I half-cast my eyes. "Otherwise... I'm not reconciled!"

"Jimo, why have you become so paranoid?" Ji Yuzhen's voice was close at hand, yet seemed far away. "This is not like you!"

"Miss Ji, it's inconvenient for me to stay at your house." Taking a deep breath, I fiercely suppressed the depression and grievance that surged up in my heart, and I spoke calmly. "I'd better go back to the hotel, can I trouble you to ask someone to take me down the mountain?"

Seeing that I had stood up, her face darkened, "Jimo!"

As soon as I made a sound, I knew that she must have misunderstood, misunderstood that I was trying to ask her for help, and I was taking my temper.I squinted my eyes, under the bright light, her skin was so moist that it was almost glowing, but her pair of black pupils were full of vigorous anger, clearly condemning my ignorance of good and evil.

"I may be infected too." Looking at her, I tried to force a smile, but found that it was too forced.

Her face turned pale in an instant, like a boundless snow ridge. "What did you say?"

"HIV, I said." Ping stretched out his arms and stepped a step in front of her. "I was bitten."

I thought that after hearing the news that I was bitten by an HIV patient and might be infected, Ji Yuzhen would be so frightened that she hurriedly asked someone to take me down the mountain, but she was stunned for a few seconds, and her first reaction was: "I understand."

understand what?

She looked at me with an indescribably weird expression. "I'm not a doctor, and I can't count what I say, but I'm afraid that HIV is not something you can have if you want to have it."

I nearly choked on my own saliva. "Who, who thought—"

"Go to bed early." She frowned, her red lips moved and then quickly pursed, as if she wanted to speak but stopped.

"Miss Ji?"

She glared at me suddenly, "Stop thinking about it!" Then she turned and went upstairs, and quickly disappeared around the corner of the spiral staircase.

The butler came in and led me politely to the guest room.Ji Yuzhen didn't let go and asked someone to send me off, and I really didn't have the guts to go down the mountain by myself.I didn't talk all night, and I woke up at dawn the next day. After all, I was worried and couldn't sleep.

Thinking of what Ji Yuzhen warned me last night, I couldn't help feeling a little bit upset about Xiao He's matter. I asked her for her address at breakfast, but she stopped me with a raised eyebrow: "I'll ask Xiao Meng to pick you up after breakfast. "

I immediately feel a lot more at ease. "Thank you, Miss Ji."

There was a crisp ding, but she threw the knife in her left hand onto the porcelain plate neatly. "If you're not as hypocritical as I am, will you die?"

Why am I so hypocritical?It's just a word of thanks, even if it's a close relative, family member, and lover, it's worth saying a word of thanks for what the other party has done for you.

"It's the same when you're with her?" She asked suddenly as if seeing the objection in my heart.

"Why do you always compare with her? Miss Ji, does it make sense?" None of us mentioned the name of "her", but we all knew who she was referring to.I can't understand where Ji Yuzhen's comparison with Suman comes from, I'm just simply troubled, especially in this situation, Suman is the exclusive treasure in my heart, her face and her voice, only I myself can turn back the hourglass of time and travel through the past to explore and feel silently. Others mentioning it on the ground is always a kind of violation to me.

For my question, the only response to me was a fierce stare.Realizing that my attitude was a little sharp, I shut my mouth and finished my breakfast in silence.

Xiao Meng soon came to pick me up and went down the mountain together. They housed Xiao He's mother and daughter in an older community in the city center. It was originally his own rented house, but he seldom went back because he worked for Ji Yuzhen.Xiao He's mother was very excited to see me, and even said that she was willing to go to the police station with me to testify about what happened to Xiao He and the tragic situation of the dozen or so girls who were imprisoned with her.I thought of Ji Yuzhen's warning, but I couldn't resist the black and white boundaries in my heart, so I agreed to go to the police station together when Xiao He recovered.

It's just that Xiao He's high fever didn't get better until two days later.It was eleven o'clock in the morning when Ji Yuzhen called. At that time, I was sending Xiaohe's mother and daughter back to their residence from the police station.The report was also reported, the statement was also recorded, and the police met, including the attack on the police last night. But, seeing the attitude of those police officers who obviously avoided talking about it, and the woman who contacted me before I can basically conclude that Ji Yuzhen is right with the hesitant expressions of the policeman several times, and the person behind the scenes who is so cunning must have even dealt with the police station.

"I really don't cry when I see the coffin." Hearing what I said about the situation in the morning, Ji Yuzhen teased me coolly.

"Yeah, you're right. It really is money that reaches the sky and power that kills people. It's so powerful, I think it's a hero in your circle." I also sarcastically returned.

Instead of being angry, she smiled, "Does it mean that you don't have to eat if you have a sharp mouth?"

Have a meal?Only then did I realize that it was already noon.Thinking of this matter, she really helped me a lot, so I couldn't refuse, so I had to wait for her at the dining place she designated.

The meal was very uncomfortable to eat, and no matter how good the food was, it was like chewing wax in the mouth.

"Come and see Yuya with me tomorrow." Ji Yuzhen suddenly said when picking up the car. "Tomorrow Wednesday is Yuya's wedding day."

"it is good."

Seeing that she meant to send me off, I originally wanted to refuse to take a taxi back to the hotel, but then I thought why should I compete with her?Ji Yuzhen, I don't say [-]% to [-]% of her temper in continuous contact with her these days, but I always figured it out at seven or eight percent. If you step on the bottom line, she can do whatever she says.

Her speed has always been fast, half an hour's drive, twenty minutes away.

"You are really obstinately stubborn, stubborn, smelly and hard!" I stood by the car door and was scolded by her.She was very dissatisfied with my insistence on going back to the hotel, and felt that I had failed her good intentions, so I brought it up again this time, but in the end I couldn't screw me, and could only turn into a series of vicious words to calm down.

I'm not annoyed, I just smile lightly.When he lowered his head, he saw that the phone had fallen on the seat, so he leaned over to get it.

A hand suddenly covered the top of my head and moved lightly.I was startled, I didn't know what happened, I just stood up straight as if I was being burned by fire, and backed away in panic.

"A leaf." Ji Yuzhen held a small piece of dead leaf on his fingertips, and looked at me with a half-smile.

"Oh, thanks. Well, I'm in."

She nodded, and I turned around and left.But when I turned around—let’s talk about my feet, my whole body was firmly fixed like a wooden stake nailed into the loess, the blood flow in my body dropped rapidly, and the feeling of lack of oxygen came up overwhelmingly.

Dizziness in front of the eyes, bitterness in the mouth.I stared blankly at the end of the steps less than five meters ahead, a woman was standing calmly, with black hair and snow skin, a decent smoky blue skirt, and her usual calm expression.

The corners of his mouth twitched, but he couldn't make a sound after all, and he even forgot the familiar movement of pulling his feet to face each other.There was only one voice in my mind that kept circling: I need to explain, I need to explain quickly, otherwise there will be a big misunderstanding!

But, how to explain it?Thousands of words poured into my throat, but in the end it was as if I had accumulated a lot of strength and smashed it on the cotton. I was speechless!

Ji Yuzhen also got out of the car, and following my eyes, she raised her brows in astonishment, and immediately gave me a meaningful look.

Looking up at each other, the deep and dignified eyes seemed to carry a blizzard-like cold madness, which made my limbs tremble and my lips tremble.Taking a deep breath, I walked towards her sullenly. This short journey of more than ten steps was as far away as thousands of miles away from the sea. My heart turned upside down with the ups and downs of my steps. Every time I touched the ground with my toes All brought uncontrollable trembling and panic.

Finally, I came in front of her and wanted to reach out to touch her, but before I reached out, I was killed in the air by her cold eyes.I licked my dry lips, "Su...Suman..."

It was only when I made a sound that I realized that I was dumb, and the next second that made my heart ache even more was that her left hand was hugging her right arm. It was a familiar movement, but at this moment she was trying her best to relax. I can still clearly see her whitish fingertips firmly embedded in the clothes, the extreme contrast between smoky blue and frozen white is so stunningly indifferent and miserable!

There is only her breath left in the whole air, but I dare not approach at all.
