The dim light conceals the true emotions, as if wearing a mask that is easily scratched.
It was the first time for Shu Nian to do this kind of thing, and his heart was beating like a drum, fast and loud. She put on a sullen face very deliberately, trying to make him feel that there was nothing wrong with her behavior.
It's a very common move.
No need to think about it at all.
She just needs to bring up another topic in time at this time.
can successfully divert attention.
Shu Nian licked his lips and said, "I'm going to open a window...to let in the air..."
Before she could stand up completely, Xie Ruhe grabbed her wrist in an instant and pulled her back. His breathing was a bit heavy, Shu Nian's face blushed belatedly, fearing that his legs would be crushed, she subconsciously supported the floor with her hands.
She wondered if she should say something.
Xie Ruhe suddenly pinched her chin, hoarse, and said bluntly: "Open your mouth."
Actions were faster than thoughts, and before he could figure out why he said those words, Shu Nian obediently followed suit. She opened her mouth slightly, like a ignorant child.
Almost at the same time, Xie Ruhe pressed her lips tightly. His lips were wet and soft, the tip of his tongue was hot, mixed with the bitter taste of smoke, as if he wanted to swallow her into his belly with such force.
It's not such a beautiful process.
It's the first time for both of them to do this kind of thing, without any experience, there will be collision between teeth, they will feel pain, and they will even forget to breathe.
But Shu Nian didn't show any resistance, and Xie Ruhe didn't intend to stop either.
The lips and tongues are intertwined, which is an extremely intimate distance.
His strength didn't decrease in the slightest, and his desire was undisguised. It was as if at this moment the original shape appeared, with sharp teeth, trying to bite through her thin blood vessels and suck the hot blood inside.
Shu Nian grabbed the corner of his clothes, passively accepting his kiss.
I do not know how long it has been.
Xie Ruhe finally let her go, sucked her lower lip and licked it. His lips were congested with blood from the long kiss, and they were overly voluptuous, like a seductive monster.
Then, he rubbed the corners of her eyes with his fingertips, and said in a low voice, "Listen to you."
Shu Nian's reaction was a bit slow, and he nodded slowly.
"If you are so obedient, I will be obedient too." Xie Ruhe's voice was low and hoarse, "I won't smoke from now on."
Hearing this, Shu Nian sat on the spot in silence for a few seconds, then stood up suddenly, ran to the door to turn on the light, and then opened the window as if looking for trouble, trying to get some air.
Xie Ruhe looked at her quietly.
Shu Nian was a bit afraid to sit back, fearing that he would explode from nervousness.
During the period of falling in love with Xie Ruhe, Shu Nian also gradually discovered that every time he made those teasing and teasing actions towards her, he would actually feel more uncomfortable than her.
It's just deliberately keeping a straight face, not showing any emotion, and trying to tease her quietly. But when she wasn't paying attention, some clues would appear again.
Thinking of this, Shu Nian looked at Xie Ruhe cautiously.
He was still staring at her, and after noticing her gaze, he paused for a few seconds, then moved away calmly.
Most of Shu Nian's confusion disappeared immediately.
Xie Ruhe's mood didn't seem to be as depressed as before. He also stood up and coughed softly: "It should be late, I'll put on a coat and take you home."
Shu Nian nodded, walked over to tidy up the dominoes on the ground, and put them all back into the box.
After she finished packing, Xie Ruhe just came back.
He bent down and pulled Shunian up, and said, "Let's go."
Shu Nian asked, "What are you doing with this?"
Xie Ruhe said, "To pass the time."
Shu Nian said: "Next time you want to pass the time, you can find me."
Hearing this, Xie Ruhe stopped in his tracks and looked sideways at her.
Shu Nian pursed her lips and added, "I can take this with you."
The two have already walked out the door. As the door closed, the fingerprint lock made a crisp sound. After saying this, Shu Nian immediately lowered his head and dragged him towards the elevator.
Xie Ruhe stood still and did not move.
Shu Nian wondered, "Did you forget to bring something?"
He shook his head, just pulling her back. Fingertips pressed a few buttons on the fingerprint lock, opened the management menu, and selected to register a new fingerprint. Afterwards, Xie Ruhe grabbed her thumb and slowly entered her fingerprints.
Shu Nian followed his movements in a daze.
until the entry is successful.
Xie Ruhe murmured, "I never had a chance to do it."
After completing this series of operations, Xie Ruhe raised his foot again and walked forward.
But this time the person who stopped was Shunem. Aware of her silence, Xie Ruhe lowered his head slightly, and asked questioningly: "What's wrong?"
"My house doesn't have a fingerprint lock..."
With a coy look on his face, Shu Nian let go of his hand, flipped through the bag, and soon found a spare key in a small compartment. She licked her lips and stuffed the key into Xie Ruhe's hand.
Seeing that he still didn't react, Shu Nian could only explain bluntly: "But I can give you the key."
As night fell completely, the lights in the building came on one after another. The streets are full of traffic, cars coming and going, and occasional horns sounded, disturbing the people walking on the side.
The air at night was cold and humid, and when I breathed lightly under the street lamp, I could see the white mist dissipating in front of my eyes.
Walked for a while.
Shu Nian counted his steps, hesitating whether to ask him if he heard some bad words today. And those were from family members who were related to him by blood.
She struggled on her own for a while.
Finally give up.
Instead, Xie Ruhe took the initiative to speak: "I received a call from my grandpa today."
"..." Shu Nian asked softly, "Did I tell you anything?"
"Well, my father is dead." Xie Ruhe suddenly laughed, "I don't know what else he said, and I didn't listen carefully. I just remember this."
Shu Nian doesn't know how to comfort others, so he tightened his grip on his hand.
At the beginning, when Ji Xiangning was found to have died in this way, Xie Ruhe seemed to be a different person for a while. No matter whether this matter has anything to do with Xie Ji or not, he hates it to the extreme.
Ji Xiangning's death method is very similar to Chen Xiang's.
They all held the handle of the knife with both hands, and stabbed the knife into the heart by themselves. It was as if he had killed himself.
When Chen Xiang died, the police blocked the news. No one except the police knew what she looked like when she died. Ji Xiangning's appearance at this time made them instantly conclude that this was a serial murder case.
Xie Ruhe also recalled what Chen Hanzheng said after Chen Xiang disappeared. He brought full personal feelings to the police's confession, every word was clear and organized, and all his sharp knives were pointed at Xie Ji.
But it's not. No matter how dark he was, he hoped that his father would go to jail or die immediately, but he couldn't change the truth after all.
This time the result is still the same as before.
The police investigated for a long time, but could not find any trace of the murderer. It is still because the facilities in the small town are backward, and it is completely impossible to investigate. And this prisoner was extremely cunning and careful, leaving no clues behind him.
This matter was spread on the Internet by a resident of Shiyan Town, and it gradually became a big issue.
caused dissatisfaction in many ways.
He believes that when the first incident happened, the Shiyan Township government should take countermeasures, apply for funds to install surveillance, and continue to investigate this case instead of letting the criminals continue to commit crimes in the dark.
Because of Ji Xiangning's death, Xie Ji also woke up in an instant. He didn't care about Xie Ruhe's deliberate targeting at all, and took the initiative to call Ji Xinghuai and confessed these things.
He asked Ji Xinghuai to pick up Xie Ruhe.
I hope Xie Ruhe will stop following him and live a life like this.
Until Xie Ruhe left Shiyan Town, Shu Nian knew very well how much he hated Xie Ji.
He probably thought that if Xie Ji hadn't been too drunk that day and had gone to the Civil Affairs Bureau to meet Ji Xiangning on time, they might have met on the road.
The murderer would not have that chance to strike.
Or maybe he felt that if Xie Ji hadn't given up on himself and led a depraved life, beating and scolding his wife, Ji Xiangning would not have chosen to take him away.
What's more, Xie Ruhe believes that the source of everything is because Xie Ji took the initiative to provoke Ji Xiangning.
If it weren't for him, Ji Xiangning would still be a wealthy daughter with a happy life now, and would follow the trajectory of life to find a partner who was well-matched.
It doesn't matter if he doesn't exist anymore.
As long as his mother is alive.
Shu Nian's throat choked, and he asked, "Did they scold you?"
Xie Ruhe recalled: "Probably."
He didn't say much.
But Shu Nian could roughly guess what they were talking about.
It is nothing more than saying that Xie Ruhe's father is seriously ill and is about to pass away. He still clings to the thing that Xie Ji did not do at the beginning, and he has no conscience at all.
"Xie Ruhe." Shu Nian said softly, "In this matter, you are the victim."
"..."
"You have the right to choose to forgive, or not to forgive. They are just bystanders, and they have no right to make choices for you, and they have no position to blame you."
Xie Ruhe looked at her sideways, with no emotion in his eyes: "I know."
"Wait for next time." Shunian's other hand subconsciously clenched his fist and said casually, "Next time, I'll go to see auntie with you."
There was a few seconds of silence.
Xie Ruhe raised his eyes and said, "Okay."
As usual, the two took the subway to the neighborhood of Shunian's house.
Blowing the cold wind, hand in hand rolling the road, watching the shadows of the two stretched on the ground. They will feel embarrassed because of a certain sentence of each other, and then secretly lower their heads, pretending that nothing happened.
The bad past seems to be gone with the wind.
After entering the building, Shu Nian stomped his feet and turned on the voice-activated lights. She walked to the door of the house, waved vigorously to Xie Ruhe who was standing outside the building, and said with a smile, "See you tomorrow."
He also said, "Okay, see you tomorrow."
Shunian entered the house, locked the door habitually, and then turned on the light. She planned to heat up the meal Deng Qingyu made for her first, eat some, and put the rest in the refrigerator.
Because of Xie Ruhe's involvement in her life, Shu Nian is no longer as sensitive and frightened as before.
She walked into the living room, and it took several seconds to realize that something was wrong.
A cold wind blew in from the floor-to-ceiling windows, and the curtains next to it fluttered lightly. The room is no longer as usual, only her own breath, and the smell because of poor air circulation.
It was as if there was a sense of discomfort from a stranger breaking in.
Shu Nian scratched his head, and forced to shake off those terrible thoughts in his mind, not wanting to scare himself. Thinking maybe Deng Qingyu opened the window before leaving, trying to freshen her house.
She walked over and tried to lock the French windows again.
The house that Shunian lived in was old-fashioned, and there was a security door on the security net on the balcony, with a lock on it. She stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, glanced away, and stopped breathing for a moment.
At this moment, the lock seemed to have been pried open and fell to the ground.
The security door was wide open.
The whistling wind seemed to disappear at this moment.
The surroundings became quiet in an instant, and there was no other sound.
It was so quiet that Shu Nian seemed to be able to hear the sound of very light footsteps from behind.
