sunk in yesterday

Xia Zhuo fell asleep and slept until night. When she woke up, her head was a little swollen.He didn't remember what Guan Yuzhou coaxed him, but he remembered that he was obviously on a mission before going to bed.

He looked out through the quilt furtively, and saw Guan Yuzhou sitting under the desk lamp with his chin propped up in thought, his brows furrowed, and his fingertips seemed to be gesturing something on the table.Xia Zhuo curled his mouth, quite unwilling, and was still slightly dumb under the cotton wool, "I give up, I can't understand the meaning of those numbers, please tell me, but this is an additional question, right? Don't deduct my reward number."

Guan Yuzhou's thoughts were interrupted, and when he came back to his senses, his fingertips rested on the smooth wooden board, making "duk-duk" sounds with each tap.Looking at Xia Zhuo's twisted face, he couldn't help laughing twice: "If I knew, I wouldn't be sitting here now."

Xia Zhuo suddenly felt that his head hurt even more, and he choked out a sentence after a while: "...are you kidding me?"

At six o'clock, Xia Zhuo saw Chu Jin with red eyes like a rabbit in the restaurant.

I don't know when he came out of the bathroom, but he followed Yu Ziang with his head down and sniffed from time to time, and his face was so painful.

Seemingly thinking of the scene of losing his temper in the morning and being seen by outsiders, Chu Jin just turned his gaze away after meeting Xia Zhuo's gaze, raised his hand and rubbed the tip of his nose, and there was a faint nasal sound in his voice: " What are you doing, haven't you seen how good-looking I am?"

Xia Zhuo pointed to himself: "You are a well frog who has never seen the world, right? Isn't there one here?" After finishing speaking, he still felt that his mouth was not enough, and he pointed to Guan Yuzhou who was next to him non-stop: "Here, there There's another one, much prettier than you."

Chu Jin: "..." It's too shameless to buy one get one free to play doubles.

The four of them sat together, but didn't mention what happened this morning, just sat there waiting for dinner.In the past, Chu Jin couldn't finish talking, but today he became a dull gourd, leaning on the back of the chair listlessly, and Xia Zhuo didn't bother to tease him, but instead smiled and praised Guan Yuzhou: "I found that you are one of the people here. Yan is the best one."

Guan Yuzhou said modestly: "You are."

Xia Zhuo smiled even more happily: "What kind of candy did you eat, it's so sweet in your mouth?"

Guan Yuzhou is as good as others: "I didn't eat, it's because Mr. Xia taught me well last time."

Xia Zhuo climbed up the ladder: "Student Guan is a fast learner, remember to come to the office tonight, the teacher will give you late-night after-school tutoring for top students."

Is this speaking human language?If you go on, you can use your mouth to perform a small theater where minors are prohibited from entering.Chu Jin's goosebumps went out, and he quickly interrupted the two of them: "...you are enough, you don't play enough role-playing here, and you are still in a hurry to start a small class? Are you afraid that you will not be able to distinguish?"

Xia Zhuo glanced at him in disgust: "You want to play too? If you want to play, go find Yu Ziang."

Upon hearing the name, Chu Jin went back again, not daring to look to the right at all, looking guilty.

After a while, the deacon opened the door and came in. After saying hello to everyone, he bypassed the trolley and tidied up the first seat.The participants in the restaurant looked at each other, more or less guessed in their hearts, and this guess was quickly confirmed.Except for Xia Zhuo and the others who had met the Patriarch twice, some of them saw a real person for the first time, they were so nervous that they all stood up, but they didn't dare to speak rashly, which made the atmosphere a little weird.

Boyle seemed unable to stand their posture, and took a step back subconsciously, the curly hair on his forehead jumped playfully, covering those blue eyes, and said in a panic: "Don't stand still, Sit down quickly, how can there be any reason to let the guests stand?"

The deacon led him to his seat, looked at the remaining people standing hesitantly, and said: "Everyone is acquaintances of the master, just treat it as if you are at your own home."

"Yes, everyone, relax. I am mainly here today to make amends to everyone. I invited everyone to the house as guests, but I did not perform my duties as the head of the house." Boyle smiled shyly, "But my fiancée is weak. , unable to go downstairs with me, please forgive me."

Long quiet.

At first, everyone was not prepared to face the Patriarch, but now such a sudden attack caught everyone off guard.

Since the deacon went to pick up the plate, the atmosphere at the table became even more depressed. Xia Zhuo felt that even if the head of the house was a fool, he would be able to sense everyone's rejection of him, not to mention that he was not stupid at all.Holding the cup, he glanced at Guan Yuzhou, only to see Guan Yuzhou sitting there calmly, like an outsider with his ears closed.

No one answered, and Boyle automatically shut up.He sat there with a cane, and he had no pretensions on his body, but he was less of a housekeeper than the calm and familiar hands at the table.

But often the more this kind of person is, the more he needs to be more careful. This is the same as the squinting eyes in comics or anime. Most of them are white and black.

Xia Zhuo still remembered Guan Yuzhou's teachings, secretly tugged at the other party's sleeves, and asked, "Don't you need to chat with him to make friends?"

Guan Yuzhou shook his head, and made a hissing gesture behind his back, signaling him not to speak for now.

Xia Zhuo sat upright again without knowing why, and happened to see Boyle looking towards him with a smile.That kind of smile made people uncomfortable, but he also bent the corners of his eyes generously, showing a very hypocritical hello.

After all, if you ask him to perform a joke, he is pretty good at it.

Boyle saw that the eyes of the two met, and his lips opened and closed slightly, revealing the white teeth hidden inside.He seemed to want to say something to Xia Zhuo, maybe to ask if there was any medicine, or maybe to greet him, but before he could speak, there was a strange sound in the distance.

Separated by layers of building walls and air, the voice sounded very erratic. If no one spoke now, I'm afraid no one would notice it at all.

Xia Zhuo saw that Boyer's expression changed instantly, and his face darkened suddenly, as if a storm was about to come.This change was so quick that the casual wear sitting in the corner was taken aback and almost spilled the glass in front of him.But in an instant, he regained control of his emotions, and when the deacon pushed the door open, he had already put on a puzzled expression of "what happened".

The deacon walked with the wind, leaned over to Boyle's ear and said something briefly, and Boyle left the table in a hurry.

The door of the restaurant was closed, and the first seat was empty.The deacon faced the crowd with apologetic expression on his face: "Miss Shelley accidentally fell off the bed just now, and the master needs to go upstairs to take care of her. I'm afraid I won't be able to share dinner with everyone."

Madam Bai sighed at the right time: "Your master and Miss Shelley are really inseparable, which is really enviable."

The deacon laughed: "Yes, I believe that the master is the most suitable person for Miss Shelley."

"Of course." Mrs. Bai tilted her head and looked at the deacon with cocked eyes. Although she was smiling, she seemed a little mocking from this angle: "Marriage is a big deal. Since Miss Shelley is determined to marry, it is natural for the master himself Impressive."

The deacon kept smiling, but stopped talking.He bent slightly: "I've been waiting for a long time, I'll serve you all."

People with discerning eyes now understand better that the deacon is indeed avoiding this topic.

Originally, when Xia Zhuo heard that voice, he thought it was someone who hadn't come to eat and broke the vase, but he didn't expect that it was his "friend" who had never met before that had a small accident.Thinking of Guan Yuzhou's reaction just now, he felt that this person seemed to have expected something to happen in advance, and he couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.

He was thinking of asking Guan Yuzhou a few words quietly, when he turned his face away, he saw something falling from top to bottom outside the glass window directly opposite.Judging by the speed of the landing, the object should not be heavy, and it didn't make any noise. The color blended with the white mist in the distance and it was difficult to distinguish it. In addition, the sky had already darkened, so the deacon didn't feel it.

Seeing this, Xia Zhuo immediately forgot all the questions, tugged on Guan Yuzhou's sleeve and called him in a low voice.

Guan Yuzhou raised his eyelids: "Huh?"

Xia Zhuo leaned her upper body, trying to talk in his ear.But this posture was a bit aggrieved. He couldn't help but move his chair, leaned towards the other side, and asked as excited as he found the New World: "Did you see it? Just now!"

Guan Yuzhou nodded slightly, "Yes, I see."

"What did you see?"

He was afraid that the conversation would be eavesdropped, and the two were very close, and the heat from his mouth was all on the base of the other's ears.The breath that did not belong to him mixed in the air, making him feel a little uncomfortable, but he was reluctant to back away.

It's a very conflicting feeling.

Guan Yuzhou took the initiative to distance the two of them, giving him room to breathe, "White."

Seeing this person retreating, Xia Zhuo couldn't help feeling a little regretful.He couldn't tell the source of his regret for a while, maybe it was because he lost an opportunity to perform.

The plates were put on the table one after another, and many people silently speeded up their meal, for fear that the Patriarch who had left would turn back halfway.

Xia Zhuo pretended to be something in his heart, he didn't know the taste of a meal, and he became distressed after eating half of it, "I want to see what it is."

Guan Yuzhou couldn't help laughing: "Why are you still so curious?"

Xia Zhuo was straightforward: "If there is no curiosity, Alice will not be in Wonderland."

He kept fiddling with the dishes on the plate, spreading the sauce all over, as if he had lost his appetite.

Guan Yuzhou sighed: "Eat at least one-half more, and don't go out if you can't finish eating."

Xia Zhuo was not happy, and resisted: "Why are you like my parents, do adults still have human rights?"

"You're so skinny because you're a picky eater."

"What's the matter, you feel bad."

"I--"

Chu Jin looked suspiciously at the side, and interrupted Guan Yuzhou, "What have you two been muttering since the beginning?"

Xia Zhuo bluntly said: "My family Qiangqiang likes to be exciting, and said that he doesn't want to be in the room tonight, and wants to play with me in the small woods outside."

Hearing this, Chu Jin's eyes on Guan Yuzhou changed: "Is this the calmness of the boss?"

Guan Yuzhou ignored him, just looked out of the window, and said calmly: "It might snow tonight."

The influence of the weather in the dream can be said to be great, and Chu Jin also looked over: "True or not?"

Guan Yuzhou nodded, very serious: "Well, maybe someone here is too wronged."

Xia Zhuo managed to keep herself from laughing too loudly, "Guan Qiangqiang, I suddenly feel that you are cute sometimes."

Anyway, I will definitely go out for a while. Rather than being questioned in public and attracting attention, Guan Yuzhou chose to bear the blame in silence and was forcibly labeled with a negative tag.

Chu Jin interrupted suddenly: "If you're looking for excitement, I have a better suggestion."

Xia Zhuo pretended to be interested: "Tell me."

Chu Jin winked and said: "Instead of going to the grove outside the house, it's better to go between the two rows of porcelain maids. Wouldn't it be nice to be watched."

Xia Zhuo let out a long sigh: "What you came up with, I'd better leave it to you and Yu Ziang."

Chu Jin rolled his beautiful eyes, and buzzed like a mosquito: "Fuck, let's not say that rabbits don't eat grass beside their nests. I don't like him like that."

From the beginning to the end, Yu Ziang didn't get involved in their conversation, he cut the meat on the plate without looking sideways, and he didn't know if he was overly serious or absent-minded.After noticing Chu Jin's gaze, he paused holding the knife and fork, "See what I do."

Chu Jin shook his head violently and remained silent.

However, compared to Luan Yingxue's reaction at the time, Yu Ziang was so calm that he could no longer be calm. He had no intention of urging Guan Yuzhou to find a way, as if he was not afraid of death that might come at any time.

Guan Yuzhou wiped the soup around his mouth with a wet towel, and said to Xia Zhuo, "Let's go."

Xia Zhuo was already sitting on pins and needles, but when he heard that he was finally willing to go out, it seemed that there was a spring on his buttocks, and he almost jumped up on the spot.

"Hello." Guan Yuzhou didn't leave directly, but went to the deacon who was standing by, "When you're done, please send a cake from last time to my room."

The deacon nodded in response.

Xia Zhuo walked over: "Is it for me?"

Guan Yuzhou didn't say anything, it was a tacit agreement.

The gate of the house was not locked, and everyone could enter and exit normally. Through the visible window beside the gate, two rows of dummy maids could still be seen standing upright under the gradually approaching night.

The moment he pushed the door out, Xia Zhuo couldn't help shrinking his neck, only feeling that the temperature outside the house seemed to be colder than the day they came.

"You wait for me here." Guan Yuzhou instructed him.Although the restaurant is not equipped with floor-to-ceiling windows, the window sill is only about one meter high. If you want to get something, you have to bend down and sneak. It is much more convenient to go alone than two people together.

Xia Zhuo also understood this truth, and waved at him from behind: "When buying oranges, remember to choose those with thin skins."

Guan Yuzhou: "..."

This guy has completely forgotten all the important things, but Jiong still remembers them clearly.

Xia Zhuo squatted on the ground to look at him, out of the corner of his eye were those beautiful porcelain dolls with slightly raised hair.He always felt that these things were looking at him, but when he looked at him, he couldn't see anything strange.

He suddenly thought of the window that was pushed open on the fourth floor when he came here on the first day.Xia Zhuo withdrew his gaze from the porcelain puppet, raised his face and looked at the top of his head.The window is now closed tightly, and the curtains have been pulled tightly from the inside, making it airtight.

This is not only the room directly above where the unknown white object fell, but it also seems to be the room where Boyle pushed the door out of the room when they went down the fourth floor last night at the stairs.

The weeds growing along the stone wall rustled as they were stepped on, and Guan Yuzhou had already picked up the fallen thing.

It is not suitable to stay here for a long time, the two of them went back to the room on the third floor without saying a word.

Xia Zhuo looked straight at him, and said anxiously: "Take it out quickly, what exactly is it?"

Guan Yuzhou spread out his palms.

It was a piece of crumpled paper, similar to the one in their unsolved puzzle, except that it was pure white without a trace of variegation.And the handwriting written in blood on it is also shocking, but the only three words occupy the entire page from top to bottom——
