"Master."

Feng De walked in from outside, Xie Linlin and the others just glanced at him with disdain.

Feng De couldn't help but shake his head. This was the biggest difference between Shi Xiaonian and the women around the young master.

The women around the young master are not stupid. They all want to climb high branches and reach the sky in one step. They all try their best to please the young master. When they try too hard, they can't help but show their true side to servants like them, and they all sneer at him. kind of look down upon…

Unlike Shi Xiaonian, he was very polite and well-educated to all of their servants.

"Um."

Gong Ou took a prepared cocktail from Xie Linlin's hand and responded lazily.

"Master." Feng De stepped forward, "Master, is what you did to Miss Shi excessive?"

"Feng De, it seems that you have spent your whole life writing "Stewardship Ethics" and you can't even do it yourself." Gong Ou glanced at him displeased.

He actually started to question his master.

Feng De lowered his head and said respectfully, "I am just worried about the young master. What the young master wants is not a child? What if the young lady cannot survive..."

The news about the child disappeared.

"That's because I was too tolerant to her. When she tastes the feeling of dying, she will know how to let go." Gong Ou was confident.

"just in case… "

"Nothing goes wrong, get out of here, get out of here!"

Gong Ou didn't want to hear any more and threw the cocktail in his hand angrily.

The delicate wine glass shattered in response, reflecting countless broken lights...

Gong Ou was angry, Xie Linlin and the others looked at each other, glared hatefully at Feng De, the culprit, and then reluctantly withdrew, and Feng De also withdrew.

Gong Ou was the only one left in the lounge.

He stared straight at Lin Hai on the screen, watching Shi Xiaonian's back going deeper, thin and pale, like a ghost...

The sunlight shining down from the gaps in the green leaves fell on her body, but it made her look paler, as if it could not reach the bottom of her heart or warm her in the slightest.

Really capable.

Feng De is a butler who has been awarded the highest-level medal. He always remembers his identity and never talks much. Now he is constantly pleading with him for a pretentious woman...

Damn it.

It's all because of this woman, because of this woman who dared to laugh at him and tell him to take medicine!

She should be taught a lesson.

Gong Ou's eyes burst out with a cold light, and his fingers quickly moved on the remote control, adjusting the hidden surveillance cameras installed throughout the forest to a scene facing Shi Xiaonian.

In the picture, Shi Xiaonian walked forward expressionlessly, step by step, her long hair scattered on her shoulders. Behind her, the branches and leaves were whirling, the tree shadows were mottled, and the green leaves were floating around her like lake water, which made the scene look stunning. She is like an elf...

Gong Ou hates that he still thinks she is beautiful at this time.

Suddenly, Shi Xiaonian slightly raised his eyes and looked forward, just when he bumped into the position of the hidden camera, as if he was staring at him through the screen...

That pale but beautiful face, a pair of black and white eyes, so hollow that there is no soul, so hollow...sad.

Like someone is in urgent need of protection.

"Snapped-"

The remote control in his hand fell.

Gong Ou looked straight at the big screen, his heart tightening suddenly, as if he was tightly grasped by a hand, so tightly that he couldn't breathe...

First day in the forest.

Shi Xiaonian stepped forward on the grass, looking at the tall trees reaching into the clouds. A few beams of sunlight fell from the tops and fell in front of her.

Is this the last image of the world she sees

Sleeping forest.

It seemed like a good ending for a guy who no one ever cared about or believed in.

She walked to a slightly larger open space. There was a big tree lying on the ground. It was broken for some reason, and only the rings were left...

Shi Xiaonian sat down on the broken tree, holding a stack of white drawing paper in his hand.

It was Feng De who forced it on her. He thought that since she was a cartoonist, she must like drawing very much, and it would be good to find some sustenance before she died.

Shi Xiaonian put the drawing paper on his knees and held the pencil but didn't know how to write...

I still remember the first time she painted a figure, and the model was Mu Qianchu.

At that time, he was still an unpleasant little blind man who only followed her around and liked to hold her hand...

"Xiao Nian, make me look better."

"No matter how you draw Qianchu, you look beautiful. You are the most beautiful."

"Beautiful is used to describe girls... I really want to see what you draw me to look like."

"You'll see it one day."

"When I see it, will you marry me?"

The memory was like a flood of water that could not be stopped. When Shi Xiaonian looked down at the blank drawing paper, the young man's voice kept coming to his ears, stubbornly saying over and over again that he wanted to marry her.

She forgot whether she had agreed or not.

But she clearly remembered that in the attic of her hometown, the boy stood at the window blowing the wind.

He looked at her direction with a pair of beautiful eyes without focus, and said seriously, "My father was afraid that I would be exposed and embarrassed, so he fostered me in your home. Others didn't like me and thought I was a blind person and was in the way... Only you Take care of me, Xiaonian, you must always be by my side."

At that time, Mu Qianchu also said, "If you were not here, even if I saw the whole world, I wouldn't know where to go."

The boy who was once afraid that he would not know where to go without her... has completely forgotten her.

He knows where to go, anywhere.

Only he won't come to her.

A drop of water stain fell on the white drawing paper and spread in a circle.

Shi Xiaonian blinked her eyes, reached out to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and then gave a self-deprecating smile.

It is said that people will recall everything in the past before they die. It seems that she is really not far from the end of her life...

"Shuisha..."

She quickly started writing on the drawing paper and drew the boy in the attic. The tears were outlined by her into the boy's eyes...

Second day in the forest.

After not eating or drinking water for a day, Xiao Nian was already suffering from hunger.

My stomach hurts.

She was already desperate and numb, but she still drank a little bit of dew on the leaves with the instinct of survival... As soon as she touched it, a bodyguard rushed in and warned her not to touch it and to knock it off.

Nothing could get into her, not even dew, not even a leaf.

They were watching her all the time and wanted to starve her to death...

Gong Ou is indeed cruel enough, and it doesn't matter if he dies faster, he can shorten the pain.

She sat on the ground leaning against a broken tree. Her long skirt was dirty, but she didn't care.

She looked at the towering trees in front of her and began to reminisce about how she had alienated many people for Mu Qianchu in the past few years.

In the eyes of everyone, she was just Mu Qianchu's playmate when he was young. Everyone thought that she should not deprive her sister of her happiness and kept pestering him...

Dad said, "Even if you and Qianchu were close before, it was just a matter of children. Now that he has grown up, even if he has not lost his memory, he still knows that he wants your sister!"

Mom said, "Xiao Nian, I really wish I had never adopted you. Just leave and don't come back except during the New Year."

Don't go back again.

She won't be able to go back even for the Chinese New Year.

She thought that if she really disappeared like this, everyone would breathe a sigh of relief together...

On the balcony outside the forest, Gong Ouxu stood leaning on the white balcony, bathed in the bright sunshine, pressing the earphone on his ear with one hand to make a call, "Just arrange for any director to go to the press conference after the acquisition, don't Annoy me again."

After scolding his subordinates, Gong Ou hung up the phone and glanced towards the forest.

Lowering his head, he held a tablet computer with the latest technology in his hand. On the computer was a picture of the forest.

I saw Shi Xiaonian sitting in front of a broken tree, not caring whether the grass was dirty or not.

Dirty woman.

Gong Ou looked at the screen disdainfully, but did not turn it off, still staring straight at it.

Ever since Shi Xiaonian entered the forest, he had been staring at the surveillance camera without feeling that his behavior was like a peeping tom.

In that forest, drawing papers were scattered everywhere on the ground.

The sunlight fell from the mottled leaves and broke into vertical rays of light, which fell on her somewhat dirty dress, which was particularly beautiful.

She stayed up all night and kept writing and drawing on the drawing paper.

Boring woman.

Know to do these things before you die.

Suddenly, Shi Xiaonian put down her pencil and put one hand on her stomach, with an unbearable expression on her face...

I finally know the pain, and it looks like I will soon be crying and begging.

Gong Ou frowned, feeling a little inexplicably unhappy, so he turned off the tablet and stopped looking at the picture on it.

The third day in the forest.

Shi Xiaonian didn't beg for mercy either.

The body is collapsing bit by bit along with the spirit, the stomach is so hungry that it cannot feel anything, and the lips are dry and cracked with wounds...

It is said that if you don’t drink water for three days, you will die.

Has she reached her end

Shi Xiaonian secretly thought that she could barely sit with her back against the broken tree. A strand of long hair fell down, covering her eyes, and she couldn't even muster the strength to comb it.

so tired…

The feeling of waiting for death is really uncomfortable.

Her body slumped down bit by bit, and the drawing paper and pencil slipped from her body. She lay on the ground, her head leaning against the broken tree, and her long hair was messy...

Shi Xiaonian opened her eyes slightly, and the light and shadow above her head continued to refract from different angles, sometimes transparent, sometimes colorful, with birds flying by, and the sound was crisp...

So beautiful.

It was as beautiful as the sunlight she saw when she was a child standing in front of her house with a small glass candy wrapper. Then, Mu Qianchu, who was taller than her, appeared in her sight.

Such a dazzling young man.

Such dazzling sunshine.

Vaguely, she saw a vague figure slowly walking towards her. It was a young man. He smiled and handed his hand to her, "Xiao Nian, be my guide stick and take me for a walk outside." .”

His smile was still so beautiful, full of trust and dependence on her.

"Qianchu..."

She moved her chapped lips and spoke the name weakly.

No more, Qianchu.

You have seen the whole world and don't need me anymore.

"Qianchu... Goodbye..."

She murmured, with all the helplessness and hopelessness, her long eyelashes trembling gently like injured butterfly wings, very slowly.

Slowly, her eyes closed and closed tightly. (To be continued)
