It was so quiet in the main room at night that there was no sound as everyone fell asleep.
Shi Xiaonian took a deep breath, walked resolutely to Mu Qianchu's room, and opened the door. It was pitch dark inside, the curtains were drawn, and there was no light.
She closed the door behind her back and leaned there. Her vision was filled with darkness, which filled her with fear deep in her heart. She subconsciously touched the wall to turn on the light.
Can't turn on the lights.
will be discovered.
She is not afraid of the dark, there is nothing to be afraid of. Shi Xiaonian closed her eyes and took a deep breath, constantly telling herself what she would do if Gong Ou were here.
He will be calm.
He is not afraid of the dark.
Therefore, she is not afraid of the dark either.
Shi Xiaonian opened her eyes, then took out her phone and turned on a weak light to shine around. She walked towards the desk. She opened the laptop on the desk, and then took out a small silver box from her pocket again.
She inserted the silver box directly into her phone.
She found this in Gong Ou's study before coming to Italy. As long as she plugs it in, Feng De in China can help her monitor Mu Qianchu's mobile phone.
The methods she can think of now are all what Gong Ou once taught her.
The phone was being implanted with a virus, and the laptop was turned on. She immediately dimmed the screen, then took out a USB flash drive and inserted it into the computer's USB port to continue implanting the virus.
She used all the means to monitor Mu Qianchu.
If the Xi family didn't come back, she only hoped to use this method to find Gong Ou's whereabouts.
You want to see people when you are alive, and you want to see corpses when you are dead.
Viruses were implanted in computers and mobile phones at the same time. Shi Xiaonian took a look at the time and saw that there should be enough time. It takes a long time to cook bone soup.
Shi Xiaonian stood up from the desk and turned around. Through the dim light on the screen, she could see a row of bookshelves behind them, filled with books and documents.
She carefully picked up a file and put it in front of the computer. She read the words on it with dim light. They were all insignificant matters of the Xi family. She put the file back and continued to take another one. Suddenly she saw the side of the file exposed. Traces of a picture frame.
Shi Xiaonian looked over in confusion, stretched out his hand to take out the picture frame, walked to the desk, and looked at it in the dim light.
It is a damaged painting.
There are traces of collage on it. It is a painting of a snow scene. A boy and a girl are having a snowball fight in the snow, with happy and bright smiles on their faces.
“…”
Shi Xiaonian's memory was suddenly brought back to the past, and her throat seemed to be choked and extremely dry.
He still remembered the time they spent together as children.
The memories of their mutual friendship were still vivid in her mind, and she really wanted to choose to believe him without any reservation.
That boy who is as white as snow must be the cleanest.
Shi Xiaonian touched the painting with her fingers and said in a low voice, "I hope I am wrong, I hope it is all because I am too stupid."
She put the painting back on the bookshelf and turned to look at the virus strips implanted on her computer and mobile phone without stopping.
She didn't stop.
Her father is dead and Gong Ou's whereabouts are unknown. Now she is no longer qualified to be emotional and must grow up.
After waiting for the virus strip to be read, Shi Xiaonian shut down the computer and put the phone back into his pocket.
The room suddenly returned to darkness, without any light at all.
Shi Xiaonian left the room in the dark, walked out, and walked downstairs.
In the kitchen, Mu Qianchu was still busy. She walked over and put her cell phone into his coat pocket as if nothing had happened. Then she walked towards him and said softly, "It takes a long time to cook this kind of soup."
Mu Qianchu was leaning on the dining table waiting for the soup to boil. When he heard the voice, he turned to look at her, "Come down? Is Auntie asleep?"
"Yeah." Shi Xiaonian nodded, walked to him and followed his example, leaning on the dining table, facing the counter, "She has been very tired these past two days. She forced a smile on my face, but when she turned around she looked sad again. I shed tears, I was afraid that she wouldn’t be able to sleep well at night, so I put sleeping pills in her milk, and she was finally able to sleep well tonight.”
"Auntie should be fine."
Mu Qianchu turned his eyes and stared at her.
"My mother has mild depression, so I'm even more worried," Shi Xiaonian said.
"Don't worry, I'm already looking for a professional psychiatrist. I happen to have a few good doctors on hand. You choose one." Mu Qianchu walked to the door, picked up the coat on the chair, and took out his mobile phone from inside.
Shi Xiaonian looked back at him, observing his movements.
Mu Qianchu held the phone in his hand and swiped it a few times. There was no strangeness on his face, and Shi Xiaonian breathed a sigh of relief.
"show you."
Mu Qianchu handed her his cell phone. It was full of information about outstanding psychiatrists. Shi Xiaonian looked at it and said, "All of them are fine. They all seem to have very good resumes."
"Okay, I'll contact one of them and ask him to come over and talk to Auntie." Mu Qianchu put the phone back, slowly put down the rolled up shirt sleeves, and said, "Auntie lives on the island all year round, except for some banquets. Dejima only has her family in her eyes and her heart is simpler than yours. I believe that with the intervention of a psychiatrist, she will get better no matter how sad she is."
"My nature is no longer pure."
Shi Xiaonian smiled sadly.
Mu Qianchu looked down at her, while Shi Xiaonian leaned on the dining table and said, "Isn't it true? So many things have happened in the past two years, including severing ties with the adoptive parents and recognizing their biological parents, but one of them is missing. I was engaged to Gong Ou, and he disappeared without any reason."
“…”
Mu Qianchu stood beside her silently.
"Maybe I really don't deserve a family."
She thought she had it, but it fell apart so easily.
"I don't think so." Mu Qianchu looked at her with deep eyes, and his voice was as warm and mellow as freshly brewed red wine. "It's because you haven't found the person who can truly give you a home."
“…”
This time, Xiao Nian was silent.
She raised her eyes and stared into his eyes, and Mu Qianchu looked at her.
Shi Xiaonian can't be said to be very good-looking now. Her thin face looks extremely small, without any makeup, her eyes are red and bloodshot, and her eyes don't even look that clear. There are only two words written on her face, haggard. .
But when she looked at him quietly like this, Mu Qianchu's heart still skipped a beat.
He had thought about this woman for as long as he could.
In the past two years, every time he felt her getting closer to him, she drifted away again, far away from his sight. There was no phone call or contact, as if he had completely forgotten about him.
Now that Gong Ou has lost power and the Xi family belongs to him, he finally no longer has to worry about when she will drift away.
Mu Qianchu reached out to hold her shoulders, lowered his head and kissed her lips.
"Qianchu."
Shi Xiaonian stood in front of him without moving, but her eyes were a little cold.
“…”
Mu Qianchu's face was very close to hers, he pursed his lips and did not continue to kiss her.
Shi Xiaonian pushed his hand away and said calmly, "You go back and rest, I'll just wait for the soup to boil."
Mu Qianchu made no more inappropriate moves and said gently, "I'm here to accompany you."
"Maybe Shi Di is still waiting for you. It's too late. You should go back."
Shi Xiaonian said.
"You know Shi Di and I don't sleep in the same room, so she doesn't have to wait for me." Mu Qianchu said, staring deeply at her as he explained.
"How would you know if you don't go and see."
"I cooked the bone soup. You don't know how many condiments to add. I'll wait for you to finish the soup before serving it." Mu Qianchu said, insisting on accompanying her.
Shi Xiaonian wanted to say that she had no appetite, but after thinking about it, she gave up.
For some reason, she felt that Mu Qianchu still had feelings for her.
If he did everything, wouldn't it be a joke to still have feelings for her
This night, Shi Xiaonian and Mu Qianchu stood in the kitchen, waiting for a pot of bone soup to boil, each with their own thoughts.
…
The sun rises and lights up the entire White Sand Islands.
Shi Xiaonian stood by the window with a cup of coffee and looked down. She saw many men in uniforms walking around below. It was called patrolling, but it was also a disguised form of surveillance.
The sun fell on her face, and her eyes showed thinking.
The current situation is that she and Xu Bingxin are no longer of use to Mu Qianchu. She pretends to know nothing, just hoping that Mu Qianchu will not kill them all out of the Xi family just for the sake of a little fight. .
Fortunately, I left today.
As long as he leaves this island and Italy, Mu Qianchu's hands won't be able to stretch out that long.
Shi Xiaonian took a sip of the coffee in the cup, looked down, and suddenly saw two familiar figures standing on the edge of the flower bed in the distance.
Flute of Time.
Mu Qianchu.
The two were chatting about something when Shi Di kept bending down and lowering his head, as if apologizing.
Seeing this, Shi Xiaonian immediately turned around and walked towards her bed, put the coffee cup aside, turned on the computer, pressed a few keys with her fingers, then grabbed the headphones on the side and put them to her ears.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Qianchu, I didn't mean it."
The sound of the flute of time immediately reached her ears.
It was difficult for Shi Xiaonian to monitor Mu Qianchu all the time here, so Feng De from China sent people to monitor him. She only eavesdropped when she felt something was strange.
Sure enough, Toki Di really apologized.
"What you did is too childish. We are no longer children. I don't want to see childish behavior like sprinkling beads where Xiao Nian walks and spitting in her cup again!" Mu Qianchu's voice was a little a little bit. Severely, he scolded Shi Di, "If there is a next time, I won't care about you anymore!"
“…”
Shi Xiaonian sat on the bed and listened in astonishment. She had been focusing on Mu Qianchu for the past two days and didn't pay attention to what Shi Di did.
She looked at the coffee aside and felt a little nauseous.
Shi Di was very jealous of her as always and actually did such a despicable thing.
"I can't do it, I can't do it anymore, don't drive me away." Shi Di's voice was filled with tears, and he cried and begged Mu Qianchu to forgive him, "I will never be jealous again. I promise, even if my sister and you are really together, We are together, and I won't be jealous. I just want to be by your side. Don't drive me away. I beg you, please, I promise to be very obedient. I will do whatever you say."
Immediately afterwards there was a sound of something falling to the ground, it should be Shi Di kneeling down.
Shi Xiaonian frowned. (To be continued)
