She thought his coat must have been wet.
The city lights come on, illuminating every street.
Shi Xiaonian drove the car at a turtle speed and followed Gong Ou quietly, and Gong Ou returned to the NE Building.
But he didn't go in.
Shi Xiaonian sat in the car and watched Gong Ou walk step by step to the opposite side of the building. He stood under a tree and looked at the towering building on the NE. His black mask suppressed his expression.
She couldn't guess what he was thinking.
Under the night, snowflakes fell gently.
There were several strings of small lanterns hanging on the tree, and the bright red contrasted with the white snow. He stood there motionless, letting the snow melt on his coat.
Shi Xiaonian followed his gaze and looked towards the NE Building. Some lights in the building were not on and it looked pitch black.
But the door was bright, but that kind of brightness did not make people feel comfortable, because employees came out one after another holding boxes and left.
They were all prepared to stay away from this place, away from the reign of paranoia.
They all agree that there is a better sky out there.
But none of them know how much this paranoid has invested in NE. This place is everything to Gong Ou more than the Gong family. It is the continuation of his elder brother, but now it is like a star slowly losing its light.
How should Gong Ou accept it
When Xiaonian looked at Gong Ou, she saw Gong Ou taking out his mobile phone from his pocket. She looked at it quietly, and suddenly the mobile phone rang.
She sat in the driver's seat and picked up her phone, only to see Gong Ou's name reflected on the screen.
He was calling her.
Shi Xiaonian immediately answered the phone and raised her eyes to look in the direction of Gong Ou. The wiper was wiping away, brushing the snow water aside. Gong Ou's face was sometimes clear and sometimes blurry in her sight.
"Miyao."
Shi Xiaonian spoke out.
"Have your feet been bandaged?"
Gong Ou asked her.
Shi Xiaonian lowered her eyes and glanced at her dried feet, and said in a brisk tone, "Well, it's bandaged."
"Really?" Gong Ou stood under the tree, his eyes still looking at NE, his voice was so low that no tone could be heard, "Then are you resting now?"
"Yes, I'm resting. What about you? Where are you? I'll go find you, okay?"
Shi Xiaonian didn't want him to know that she had followed him and chased him all the way.
He will definitely get angry.
"Xiao Nian." He called her name, his voice was particularly sexy.
"I am here."
Shi Xiaonian said softly.
"You told me before, Gong Ou, if you keep having this weird temper, others will leave you." Gong Ou looked at the NE Building and said to the phone. He raised his chin slightly, and a little snow fell. into his eyes.
When Xiaonian sat in the car, he was stunned for a moment, then thought back and said, "That was all a long time ago."
A long time ago.
At that time, she hadn't fallen in love with him yet, and she didn't like his bad temper, so she said those words.
She regrets it now and wants to take those words back.
Can she take it back
"I told you at that time, the people who left were the ones who should not have stayed." Gong Ou said in a low voice, his voice rang next to the phone through the mask, "Only now do I realize that I was wrong. It turns out, no Those who have to leave will also leave, and NE may also have to leave.”
Hearing this, Shi Xiaonian was stunned and her eyelashes trembled slightly, "No, Gong Ou. I know you are not feeling well right now. It doesn't matter. Treat this period of time as a long vacation and adjust your mood. You will know how to treat NE. Yes, right? NE will not collapse."
His technological empire, his feelings and memory for his elder brother will not collapse.
"Xiao Nian, I know that my illness has reached the point where it is incurable."
Gong Ou asked.
Shi Xiaonian was speechless, "Gong Ou."
"I had a hallucination." Gong Ou continued, with a hint of grievance in his voice, like a child's grievance.
"What did you say?"
Shi Xiaonian was shocked and looked at Gong Ou not far away.
Gong Ou stood under the tree, raised a hand and pressed his eyes, and then said, "I feel like I am becoming more and more crazy now."
Many times, he doesn't want to curse or lose his temper.
But he was increasingly unable to control himself.
“…”
"Shouldn't a psychopath not know that he has a problem? But why would I be so clear-headed and watch my condition worsen? So sober-eyed to see myself become a psychopath?" Gong Ou said with some self-deprecation, his eyes after being pressed by a finger It's even redder, with a hint of water.
"Miyao, you are just under too much pressure now. It's okay. Trust me, we will treat the disease. After the treatment, everything will be fine. NE needs you too, right? You must cheer up."
Shi Xiaonian said.
She heard his voice full of self-deprecation.
She didn't want to see Gong Ou like this.
"What if it can't be cured?" Gong Ou asked.
“…”
Shi Xiaonian was speechless. Who can guarantee a 100% recovery
"If it can't be cured, NE will be destroyed. More and more people will leave me, Feng De will also leave, the twins will also leave, and you. Of course, you can't live without me." Gong Ou said in a low voice He said, "You will be imprisoned by me. I will not allow you to have freedom or social interaction. I will keep an eye on you 24 hours a day until you start to resist. Then I fail... kill you. Maybe, I will also kill you." Cut your body into pieces, maybe, I will also make your body..."
She is his biggest obsession, a mentally disabled person can do anything.
"I won't resist."
Shi Xiaonian interrupted him without thinking too much.
“…”
"If the situation really gets that bad, just keep an eye on me 24 hours a day. It doesn't matter. I don't want freedom, I don't want social interaction, I don't want anything. I'll be satisfied just looking at you every day." Shi Xiaonian said, his voice decisive. , without a trace of hesitation.
Listening to her words, Gong Ou was silent there.
There was a long silence.
When Xiao Nian raised his eyes, he saw Gong Ou standing there, putting his cell phone to his ear and standing there. The snow was so small and thin, but it accumulated a thin layer of white on his hair and shoulders.
"Xiao Nian, I'm tired."
Gong Ou's low voice sounded in her ears.
The voice was very low, going from her ears to her heart.
“…”
"I have never been so tired as I am now. I don't want to do anything or want anything." Gong Ou said.
“…”
When Xiaonian was sitting in the car, she felt an unprecedented pain in her heart, and her eye circles gradually turned red.
What could she say to make him feel better
What can she do to get him back on his feet
Gong Ou stood on the tree, tapped his feet on the ground, and sighed softly into the phone, "It's so cold, Xiao Nian, it's snowing outside, it's so cold."
cold
Shi Xiaonian looked at Gong Ou standing there, snow falling from his shoulders.
Yes, he was too cold, he needed warmth, he needed hugs.
"Miyao, wait for me, I'll be here right away."
Shi Xiaonian said hurriedly, hung up the phone, and reached out to push the door open and get out of the car.
This is a non-motor vehicle lane.
After thinking about it, she drove the car into the parking line in front of the NE Building, then opened the door and stepped out of the car. She turned her foot and felt a numb pain in her foot.
When Xiao Nian raised her eyes and looked across, she saw that there was nothing under the tree except for a few strings of small red lanterns swaying in the wind.
Where are people
Shi Xiaonian opened her eyes wide in astonishment, ran to the opposite side despite the light snow, stood where Gong Ou had just stood, and looked around. There was no one in the entire empty street.
"Gong Ou! Gong Ou!"
Shi Xiaonian shouted loudly.
No one responded to him, but some employees working in this area looked at her.
The snowy weather was indeed very cold. She took out her mobile phone and dialed Gong Ou's number, but heard the polite female voice ruthlessly reminding her that the other party's phone had been turned off.
Shut down
We were on the phone just now.
Where have you gone
Shi Xiaonian looked around, looking for a path on the left, and then on the right, "Gong Ou! Gong Ou!"
Her voice rang out in the snow, and snowflakes were floating on her long hair.
"Miss Xi!"
Feng De walked out of the NE building, holding a black umbrella in his hand, covering her up like a gentleman, and asked, "Miss Xi, your feet must be bandaged, otherwise the gauze will dry on your feet and the skin will be attached if you tear them off." of."
"Gong Ou is gone." Shi Xiaonian couldn't care less about her own feet, she looked around anxiously and said, "Have someone look for her, hurry up!"
"The young master is missing? Ah, okay."
Feng De nodded, handed the umbrella to Shi Xiaonian, and then hurried to the NE Building.
Shi Xiaonian held an umbrella and walked along the path Gong Ou had just walked, hoping to meet him. However, in the blink of an eye, he disappeared.
Where have you gone
He said he was tired. Did he go back to rest
But she had to drive back home. She parked the car in front of the NE Building and didn't see him.
Shi Xiaonian was walking in the snowy night holding an umbrella. The wind was biting and biting. It was probably the coldest night in a year. Her fingers were so cold that they became stiff.
She just walked on the empty and quiet road, looking for that familiar figure.
"Miyao! Where are you? Can you please answer me?"
She shouted loudly, trying to make Gong Ou hear.
He is a little giving up on himself now. Maybe he is hiding somewhere and doesn't want to see anyone.
It's okay, she will find him.
She will definitely find it.
20 minutes later, Feng De saw from the CCTV that Gong Ou got into a black business car and left. It was a surveillance blind spot, and he only saw the business car passing by and the people disappeared.
Two hours later, the technical department found out that the license plate was fake and could not analyze whether there was anyone in the commercial vehicle. Moreover, the commercial vehicle drove around all monitoring areas and lost track of it.
Five hours later, the police intervened, defining the incident as a kidnapping case by a wealthy man, and launched a comprehensive investigation and search.
Five days later, the police once again revised the incident into a disappearance case because no kidnappers called to ask for ransom from the beginning to the end, and Gong Ou never returned.
Perhaps the police's actions were too big. Soon, the news of Gong Ou's disappearance spread. The turmoil in NE became more intense. Another group of people continued to submit their resignations and went their separate ways.
This New Year comes in the wind and snow.
Deep in the forest, the majestic Imperial Castle has no New Year atmosphere at all, and is just lifeless. (To be continued)
