"I won't tear it down."
Shi Xiaonian stubbornly retracted his hands behind his back.
"Gong Ou asked me to take good care of you. I have to do it if I promise. You can take out the stitches and sleep well. I will take care of safety. You don't need to worry about it." Mu Qianchu said and grabbed her arm. , forcefully pulled her hand out from behind her.
Shi Xiaonian resisted fiercely and refused to take off the thread, but she was no match for Mu Qianchu's strength.
The two were at loggerheads.
Seeing that the paper was about to be removed by Mu Qianchu, Shi Xiaonian said excitedly, "I don't want you to worry about it, Mu Qianchu! If my mistake delays everyone's chance to save me, if I am captured, If Gong Ou is threatened by Lancaster, can you bear the responsibility?"
"I'll bear it!"
Mu Qianchu said without thinking, and continued to hold her hand hard to untie her.
"You can't afford it! You know what will happen to my most important person when you implicate me, and you still want to implicate Gong Ou?" Shi Xiaonian said excitedly.
As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Qianchu's face turned pale and his hands were frozen motionless.
Shi Xiaonian took the opportunity to retract her hand, protecting herself firmly and refusing to take off the thread on her fingers.
There was a sudden silence in the brightly lit room, and you could hear a pin drop.
The atmosphere became eerie.
Shi Xiaonian looked at Mu Qianchu sitting in front of him and realized what he had said. He put his hands on his forehead and lowered his head feebly. The threads tied on his fingers clearly made thin marks.
Luo Lie stood aside, observing the subtleties between the two people, and couldn't help but said, "It's okay. Let's go back to sleep and let Mrs. Gong have a good rest."
"Check it out, I'm sure someone must have sneaked into my room." Shi Xiaonian said immediately, with nervousness in his eyes.
"There is a forest maze outside. You cannot enter or exit easily. If someone sneaks into your room, it is more likely that there is a traitor." Mu Qianchu said calmly while sitting on the edge of the bed. The paleness on his face has not faded yet, and he has regained his composure. .
"Traitor?"
Shi Xiaonian was stunned.
"I will check this. You can go to sleep."
Mu Qianchu said calmly, stood up from the bed, turned around and walked out. This time, he did not touch the wall. His slender legs were so fast that he almost fell down.
Luo Lie stretched out his hand to give it a hand.
Mu Qianchu pushed his hand away, stubbornly walked out alone, and closed the door.
Shi Xiaonian was the only one left in the room. She looked at where Mu Qianchu had just been sitting, her head aching faintly.
It is how it happened? She is living more and more like a hedgehog.
He obviously has no abilities, but he can always stab others.
Shi Xiaonian leaned back and looked at the calm room. After thinking for a while, she got off the bed and looked down at the ground, trying to find any trace of the room being invaded.
Unfortunately not.
There was nothing but the fallen cellophane crane, as if no one had come in.
But someone must have come in. Someone from Lancaster must have found this place, or they had arranged for a traitor to be lurking. They were originally planning to kidnap her, but she woke up from a nightmare and had to flee in a hurry.
That must be it.
It seemed like she had to be more careful.
Shi Xiaonian lowered her eyes and looked at the thread on her finger. The thread was not tied tightly enough. She had to make it stronger before she could wake up immediately.
…
Several days passed and the man did not move again.
Mu Qianchu didn't find anything, it seemed that everything that night was just a nightmare for her as Luo Lie said.
Before nightfall, Shi Xiaonian held Xiaokui and played with toys. Gong Yao sat alone at the door meditating, with his back straight and his bow and arrow beside him.
Just as Luo Lie expected, the shadow that Gong Yao suffered was not exposed. It was buried deep in his heart. His tensed nerves could be seen in the small details of never leaving his hand.
But this is not a problem at the moment, I can only let nature take its course and give him more care.
"Mrs. Gong, are you still playing with Xiaokui?"
After bathing, Luo Lie wore a dark bathrobe and walked towards them wiping his hair.
"Doctor Luo."
Shi Xiaonian smiled faintly, Gong Kui stood up straight from her arms, smiled and called, "Uncle Luo."
"Be good, keep playing."
Luo Lie pushed up his glasses and sat down on the single sofa nearby. He watched mother and daughter playing with digital toys. Gong Kui's addition and subtraction calculations were very fast. Shi Xiaonian kept smiling happily.
After a long time, Luo Lie thought for a moment and finally said, "Xiao Kui, it's getting late. Should you go take a shower?"
Shi Xiaonian looked at him in shock, then understood what he meant, and then looked down at her daughter in her arms, "Xiao Kui, let Alyssa give you a bath first."
"good."
Gong Kui nodded obediently and left her arms.
Shi Xiaonian was quietly packing away the toys alone, with very pale eyebrows on her face. She even lost her smile the moment her daughter left.
"What does Dr. Luo want to tell me?" Shi Xiaonian asked while cleaning up.
"Actually, I don't like to meddle in other people's business the most, but now that we are all evacuating together, we can be considered as people sitting on the same boat, so it is better to work together." Luo Lie said carefully, "Mr. Mu, as a The blind man has done a lot of things beyond his capabilities. He just arranges defense changes three times a day, and he doesn't follow the rules. This is a very tiring thing."
The words are to the point.
Shi Xiaonian packed up the toys and understood what he meant. She looked up at Luo Lie's aloof eyes and asked, "Is he in a bad mood these days?"
The past is like a tumor in their hearts, which will get worse if they are touched at the slightest moment.
"You don't get along?" Luo Lie asked more directly.
"A lot of things can't be solved simply with just one disagreement." Shi Xiaonian put the toys together and looked at Luo Lie and said, "Talk to him and ask him not to work so hard."
"I thought this would be more useful if you said it."
Luo Lie said.
"But I can't say it." Shi Xiaonian was also very direct.
Luo Lie was startled for a moment, then nodded, "I understand, who asked me to be a doctor? I really have come to a place where weird diseases gather, and I will solve them."
After saying that, Luo Lie stood up from the sofa and left. After taking two steps, he stopped again and turned to look at Shi Xiaonian. His lips moved but he stopped talking.
Shi Xiaonian met his gaze and asked clearly, "You and brother have never been in contact?"
One sentence directly poked at Luo Lie's weakest spot.
Luo Lie concealed his embarrassment with a smile, looked at her and said, "After I created a false identity, I will be a different person. Besides, we are just ordinary friends. What is there to keep in touch with?"
Shi Xiaonian packed up all the toys, stood up from the sofa, and said calmly, "Brother is fine. He recovered quickly from his injuries after that. Now he should be helping Gong Ou deal with Lancaster's affairs."
She knew that Luo Lie wanted to know Gong Yu's injury the most.
Luo Lie had been here for so long before he said this. It seemed he couldn't bear it any longer.
"Really? That's good." Luo Lie nodded, "It's much more dangerous for them to do things outside than for us to take refuge here, and we don't know when this will end."
Shi Xiaonian lowered his eyes and said, "Gong Ou will not let the people he cares about get hurt, don't worry."
Miyao attaches great importance to her brother, and she knows this very well.
Gong Ou is so smart, he will arrange everything, and everyone will be arranged by him.
And others... can never arrange him or control him.
"Why, are my worries just so superficial?" Luo Lie smiled bitterly, "Okay, you should go to bed early and don't tie that thread anymore. Mr. Mu has strengthened the security."
After saying goodbye to Luo Lie, Shi Xiaonian walked upstairs alone. Mu Qianchu slowly walked down the stairs, pressing his hand on the handrail. Then he stopped, and his eyes accurately "looked" at Shi Xiaonian's. direction.
After the little incident that night, they never said a word again.
Silence stretched on the stairwell.
Shi Xiaonian paused and continued walking upstairs without saying anything, passing him by.
“…”
Mu Qianchu turned his face slightly and smelled a hint of her fragrance on the tip of his nose. He opened his mouth to say something, but Xiao Nian had already passed by him.
His face darkened.
If it wasn't Gong Ou's idea, Shi Xiaonian would never accept the protection from him. He knew this better than anyone else.
Mu Qianchu curled his lips mockingly, his smile couldn't be bitterer. He walked downstairs step by step. He stumbled and fell down on the stairs. He didn't stand up for a long time.
Shi Xiaonian walked upstairs and made sure that Gong Kui and Gong Yao had taken a shower and were ready to go to bed, then returned to her room and closed the door tightly.
After closing the curtains, Shi Xiaonian picked up a roll of wire and began to wire the room. The cloth was even more exaggerated than at the beginning. From the piano legs to the bedside table, every section of wire was covered with a cellophane crane.
The lines all over the floor look like mechanisms.
She had been doing this all day and night these past few days. She couldn't catch the intruder, so it was right for her to be cautious.
After doing all this, Shi Xiaonian climbed into bed and went to sleep. His hand passed by the side naturally. He had forgotten how many days it had been. The bed here was always cold.
"Snapped."
Shi Xiaonian threw the other pillow on the bedside table inside, then lay down, turned off the light and went to sleep.
The moonlight is hazy.
A ray of moonlight leaked through the unclosed curtains and fell on the quilt.
The person on the bed slept motionless, breathing evenly.
The thread binding his fingers suddenly moved, and the cellophane crane made a rustling sound.
When Xiaonian was lying there, her ears moved keenly. She opened her eyes suddenly and saw a black figure squatting in front of her bed. A pair of eyes were very big, emitting a faint light in the darkness.
She screamed loudly, "Someone! Help!"
Finally she was caught.
She screamed, but the man didn't seal her mouth and still squatted there.
"boom."
The door was violently knocked open from the outside. Mu Qianchu and Luo Lie rushed in immediately again, followed by the bodyguards. (To be continued)
