strange village

In the evening, Mo Tan brought Shuangye as promised.

Several people found a place to sit, and invited Shuangye to sit, but Shuangye did not refuse. Dongyue's armchair was very close to her. While breathing, Dongyue smelled that pleasant smell again. I don't know what it was. .

"What do you want from me?" Shuangye asked generously, but there was some precaution between her brows.

"We're not doing it for anything else. In fact, we're a little worried about Ms. Chu Xuan's situation. I haven't seen her recently. I wonder if she's okay?" Dongyue cautiously probed.

"Actually, I haven't seen Chu Xuan in private for a long time. She is busy with homework, and I usually have trivial matters to deal with, but she hasn't gone out to class since the night of the accident. She should have been staying at her own residence and is safe."

"When was the last time you saw her in private?"

She paused for a while before answering: "It should be the first day you came here."

"So that's the case, then do you know how the relationship between Chu Xuan and the wives in the family is like?"

"Forgive me for not saying too much. These are not things I should talk about. All the wives are Miss Chu Xuan's elders. Miss has always been respectful to them. I don't know anything else."

Dongyue didn't expect her to be so stubborn and refused to reveal anything. A thought flashed through her mind, and she said, "Shuang Ye, don't get me wrong, we have no malicious intentions. You know, since Miss Chu Xuan chose me that day, If you want me to help her, I will definitely help her, that's why I care about her so much."

Shuangye's willow-leaf eyes drooped slightly, and there was a bit of charm on her sharp-edged face, with an indescribable charm, but at this moment, she raised her eyes to look at Dongyue, with a hint of slyness in her eyes , obviously did not trust him.

Mo Tan hurriedly smoothed things over: "We're taking the liberty, I shouldn't have asked you these things, but you know, Ah Xuan is getting older, and it is often inconvenient for Ah Qing to ask more questions, and often contact her through you and send her things. , A lot of things in her heart, she may not tell Ah Qing, but I think you may know."

After hearing this, Shuang Ye's complexion softened a lot, with a little smile on her face, and said: "You think too highly of me, Miss Chu Xuan has always been different, Miss Mo, you know, she doesn't like it There is red tape, and she treats everyone equally no matter what their status is, so I can only have a few words with her once in a while."

"Then is it safe where she lives? What kind of people do you usually meet, won't you get into trouble?"

"You don't have to worry about this. Since the accident, the young lady has also stayed at home behind closed doors and hasn't gone out. Besides, she doesn't like to be taken care of by others, so she doesn't have a maid by her side. She only has a housekeeper, the daughter of Changgui's family, as her companion. She goes to school together, and there are no other people waiting, so it's very safe, Miss Mo should know about this situation, so you don't have to worry too much."

Mo Tan nodded at the side, indicating that she also knew about it.

"That's good." Dongyue repeated these words softly in her mouth, but her eyes were still glued to Shuangye.

From time to time, his eyes moved from her pretty face to the tips of her ears, and then he was attracted by the red hair again. He followed the ends of the hair to look at her shoulders, chest, and slid to her waist. When she said something that he was interested in , was attracted back by her pair of slender willow-leaf eyes again, his gaze was not concealed, so back and forth, gradually even the person sitting beside him felt something was wrong, and coughed lightly.

After hearing this, Dongyue turned her eyes to look at Zhu Yao, and met his straightforward gaze, somehow felt that the gaze was hot, and felt a little embarrassed, Zhu Yao quickly looked away, and turned her gaze to Shuang Ye , said: "Did she have any friends when she was studying outside?"

Shuang Ye brushed her hair and said, "I haven't heard much about this."

"I heard that she lives in the old house where her parents used to live. Is this true?"

"This is indeed true. It is said that most of the furnishings are arranged as they were, and they are well preserved."

"Supposedly?"

"Yes, that's what they said, but that was more than 20 years ago. I was still young at that time, and I hadn't come to the Chu family to work, so naturally I didn't see it with my own eyes."

"So it is."

"Would it be inconvenient if we want to meet Miss Chu Xuan?"

"Well... You should be able to see it. She is not a put on airs, and there is no reason not to see you."

Zhu Yao nodded after listening, satisfied.

It seems that many questions can only be answered by asking her herself.

At this time, Shuangye turned to Dongyue again: "And since she likes you, she shouldn't refuse to see you." After speaking, she smiled meaningfully.

Dongyue suddenly felt embarrassed, so she could only smile.

Shuangye was wearing a neat navy blue shirt, dark gray trousers, and was meticulously ironed. Although it was getting late and most of the day had passed, she was obviously still working, and there was no sign of slacking off. The wavy red hair looks a little casual, loosely hanging on the shoulders.

As for Dongyue's feelings for Shuangye, she has been aware of it since the first meeting, neither deliberate flattery nor neglect, it can only be said that it is neither humble nor overbearing, it is a routine.However, at this moment, he could smell tension from the other party's subtle restraint.Who would have thought that the conversation was directed at him now, this person is not easy to mess with.

"Need me to make an appointment for you?"

"Then trouble you."

After Shuangye left, Mo Tan hadn't left yet, Dongyue pursed her lips thoughtfully.

"You don't really suspect Chu Xuan, do you?" Mo Tan started walking around the room again.

you caught me.

After an awkward silence, Mo Tan sighed and said, "I can't explain this to Ah Qing."

"It doesn't matter to the two of us. What are you going to do? Find the murderer? Protect Chu Xuan?" Zhu Yao relaxed on the back of the chair and continued, "If these two things conflict, how do you choose? "

Mo Tan sighed heavily, and said, "Don't give me such a difficult problem...at least not now."

"Don't embarrass her," Dongyue stopped Zhu Yao, and said to Mo Tan: "Don't take it seriously, he was joking. Since there is no result for so long, no new clues can be let go, that's all."

"But Miss Shuangye smells really good, I don't know what it is, perfume?" Dongyue murmured to herself.

Mo Tan said: "How could she buy that kind of luxury, it should be hair oil, it seems to be the smell of sea buckthorn."

"The one you gave to Chu Xuan?" Dongyue asked.

Mo Tan was suddenly at a loss for words, then nodded stiffly.

"So you understand now? She's lying." In the final conclusion, Zhu Yao stuttered every word, loud and clear.

"Wait," Dongyue quickly interjected, looking back and forth at the two of them in doubt, "Is there some misunderstanding? That thing is only in your hands, maybe she just bought it outside ah."

Mo Tan sighed and shook his head: "No, because the method of sea buckthorn oil is very stupid and time-consuming. You need to soak the sea buckthorn fruit in flower seed oil and place it in the sun to let the substances in the sea buckthorn fruit The aroma and aroma permeate into the oil little by little. After a period of time, the soaking oil can be obtained. The whole process takes several months, but the extraction effect is the best in this way, but the general merchants do not use this method anymore, because The efficiency is too low, so this kind of raw material is basically not used, or it is only used as an auxiliary material to set off other ingredients, and it does not have such an obvious smell," she sighed, and said: "The kind I made has a wide range of uses, and it can be used on the skin. The effect is also very good, and it has a kind of fragrance, the smell on her body should be the kind of sea buckthorn oil I made."

"Is this the first time you gave this to Chu Xuan, maybe it was before, she gave it to Miss Shuangye? Aren't they good friends?"

Mo Tan shook his head: "This is the first time. I made this thing not long ago, but I actually planned it for a long time. When I first started making this thing, I told Chu Xuan that she kept begging me to give it to her. Try it, so I brought it this time."

Hearing this, Dongyue bit her lower lip silently. In this way, wouldn't it be confirmed that the two of them have had a private relationship recently?So she was lying just now. What is she trying to cover up by lying like this?Obviously, it is enough to admit that the two of them have a good relationship in private.

At this moment, he suddenly felt a chill in his jaw.

Zhu Yao's fingers climbed onto his skin at some point, hard and rough, with a chill.Dongyue was stimulated by this touch, and the mouth that bit her lower lip loosened.Zhu Yao seemed to be very satisfied with his small movement, and after a short pause, he retracted his fingers again.

Human beings will instinctively hate lies, even if they are white lies intended to protect others, but the moment they know they are being deceived, they will still feel hurt, the closer they are, the more so.Fortunately, although Shuangye is not a stranger, he can hardly be regarded as a friend. This did not cause much harm to Dongyue, but he was still a little confused and felt an indescribable sense of depression, but Zhu Yao's gentleness Touching, easily smoothed out the oppressive feeling.

Mo Tan was still worrying about himself, not noticing the small movements of the two of them.

"Promise me, don't act rashly, okay?"

Dongyue was stunned, and immediately came to her senses, saying: "No, don't you still want to see Chu Xuan? Maybe it's just a small lie to avoid trouble. If it has nothing to do with this matter, then it doesn't matter. .”

He didn't want to upset Mo Tan, but he knew that whether it was a big lie or a casual lie, the impression of that person in their hearts was already different. A certain event will draw a certain conclusion on a person, or label a person as a liar. People's thoughts are inherently dynamic and constantly changing.

Even if Frost Leaf becomes a bad person in his heart at this moment, it doesn't mean anything. Maybe just an explanation can change everything. Human beings receive all these things through their senses, and the conclusions they draw through thinking are nothing more than their own. Can we really know the truth?

As if knowing what he was thinking, Zhu Yao's hand appeared in his sight and rested on the arm of the sofa beside him, "We will figure it out."
