You Xu suddenly became interested in running, so he got up early the next day and started running in the morning.
Duan Min's building has only seven floors and covers a large area. The surrounding avenues are widened. Running around it is no different from the track and field. There are few people and cars, so she runs around this field.
Before she ran one kilometer, she was panting like a dog, and after stopping and grinding to three kilometers, she walked upstairs with her steps.
You Xu went up to the seventh floor and saw the people in the corridor at a glance. She panted and moved over to talk to Duan Min: "Good morning, did you feel the beautiful air and sunshine in the morning?"
She also told him to wake up for breakfast when he came back from a run.
Still can't speak, huh, man.
Duan Min put his hands in the pockets of his sweater, leaned against the wall lazily, and looked down at her, leaning over her knees, leaning for breath.
She was wearing an orange sports suit, which looked as warm as a little sun, and her high ponytail was scattered with some broken hair because of the movement, which looked fluffy in the morning light.
She was so alive, alive as the rising sun, bursting into his stagnant life with a strong vitality.
He never likes to delve into and think about things. One is lazy, and the other is that there is really nothing worth thinking about.
He couldn't remember human faces before, and he always felt that those faces were blurry and unrecognizable, leaving no impression.
But Youxu was different. At first he saw her face was blurry, he only remembered that she would laugh and make a lot of noise, but gradually, her face became clearer, like standing up from paper and turning into three-dimensional. Live people.
When did it start
He doesn't know either.
—
Yu Xu was sweating all over, so he simply took a shower, changed into looser clothes and started making breakfast.
In the morning, she didn't like greasy food very much, so she cooked millet porridge, made a few slices of toast, fried two eggs, and had breakfast with the boss.
Duan Min had enough to eat and drink, washed the dishes and went back to his room to catch up on sleep.
You Xu was lying on the sofa, looking at a wind chime in the shape of a small fish hanging on the window sill, thinking that there is nothing to do today, so why not go to the flower and bird market to buy two goldfish and raise them.
Just at this moment, the prompt sound of the mobile phone text message sounded.
You Xu picked up the phone and opened it, and saw a text message with the note of Senior Brother Zhao Yiyan: [Next Saturday is Lan Lan's birthday, there will be a feast then, do you want to come?]
You Xu paused and searched for relevant information in her mind. When she was in college, she had a teacher in the same major, Zhao Yiyan, who took good care of her. Zhao Yiyan and Lin Lanlan were classmates, and it seemed that their relationship was still good. good.
Thinking of Lin Lanlan's attack on the You family in the later period, forcing You Qi to death, in order to prevent the plot from going forward, You Xu had to go to meet Lin Lanlan, a key big bowl.
You Xu typed and replied: [Thank you for the invitation, Senior Brother, of course I want to go.]
There was a quick reply: [Then are you free today? Maybe we haven't seen each other for a long time, why don't we catch up?]
You Xu thought for a while, then typed the next word: [Okay.]
Zhao Yiyan immediately sent the location of a restaurant, and agreed with You Xu on the noon time.
After reading it, You Xu casually threw the phone on the sofa, narrowed his eyes, and rubbed his hands together. It seemed that he had something to do today, so he couldn't pick any fish.
She put on light makeup, simply cleaned up and went out.
The agreed place is a very high-end western restaurant. When you arrived, Zhao Yiyan was already waiting. He was wearing a well-cut dark blue suit with his forehead set back, revealing a smooth forehead, which looked like Mature and stable.
You Xu walked over and smiled politely: "Senior brother, long time no see."
Zhao Yiyan also smiled: "Long time no see, Xiao Xu is beautiful again."
The two greeted each other politely and sat down to order food.
The dishes came up quickly, the waiter poured them red wine, Zhao Yiyan raised the glass: "Come on Xiao Xu, toast."
You Xu clinked glasses with him, took a sip, and continued chatting: "Senior brother is doing his own business now, he is really young and promising, and he was admired when he was in college."
"There, it's just a little business now," Zhao Yiyan said, "Xiao Xu was much more famous than my brother at that time, and he won all the awards without blinking. He is beautiful and temperamental, and has many suitors. It can be lined up from the teaching building to the canteen.”
"It's nothing, Brother Shi won all the girls' hearts."
…
In the second half of the chat, both of them let go of their vigilance that they hadn't seen for a long time, from recalling their college days to the present.
Seeing that the atmosphere was just right, You Xu squeezed the wine glass and gently shook the liquid inside, and asked casually, "I still don't know what to give for my brother's birthday next week."
Zhao Yiyan raised his eyes: "Just send it as you like, it's just a matter of time, it was originally just to play."
To be honest, he didn't expect You Xuzhen to agree. From the moment he met her, he found that she was lonely, lonely, and didn't like to be lively and social, especially among the many girls he met.
In college, he chased her for a long time, but she didn't even blink an eyelid.
Now she has changed quite a bit. She can talk and laugh, and she has indeed become more beautiful. She wears light makeup, wears a light blue floral dress, and has long shawls and slightly curled ends.
There is an indescribable quiet temperament, which makes people very comfortable, and can't take their eyes away.
"Is she easy to get along with?" You Xu worriedly asked, "I'm stupid, and I'm not very good at speaking."
Having said this, Zhao Yiyan knew in his heart, no wonder You Xu agreed to his dinner invitation today, but just wanted him to be a bridge, but he didn't mind, using human affection to catch people, and finally reeling the line, this is the best.
Zhao Yiyan supported his chin in one hand, leaned forward a little, raised his eyebrows and smiled: "With me here, don't be afraid."
When wise people speak, they don't need to point it out, they just need to know each other well.
Now that the goal has been achieved, You Xu chatted for a while, then said goodbye to go home, and insisted on the AA system, Zhao Yiyan agreed without saying anything.
When she stood up with her bag, she deliberately swept around the dining room, and she always felt vaguely that someone was watching her, not just a line of sight, but she glanced over now and didn't see anything unusual.
You Xu took a taxi and went to the nearby supermarket first to buy some ingredients, melons and fruits, and finally brought it back in big bags.
Going up to the seventh floor, You Xu saw Duan Min leaning against her door with a blank expression.
You Xu walked over and explained, "I have something to do today, so it's a bit late to come back now."
Although Duan Min wouldn't starve to death a little later, he habitually waited at the door, and she had already eaten outside, so she felt a little guilty for no reason.
Duan Min looked down at her and said in a low voice, "What are you going to do?"
You Xu casually handed him the bag in his hand, then flipped through the bag and took out the key: "Go see a college friend."
Duan Min took the things in her hand, his tone was not very good, but he was very sure: "Men."
"Yes, it's a senior brother." You Xu opened the door, turned around and stretched out his hand to retrieve the things, but Duan Min didn't let them go, he silently carried the things in and put them on the table.
It was already past two o'clock in the afternoon, and she didn't know how long he waited outside the door. She wanted to come back earlier, but Zhao Yiyan wanted to keep people, and she went to the supermarket to replenish the ingredients, so she unknowingly delayed the time.
Afraid that Duan Min would be hungry for a long time, You Xu quickly cooked two dishes.
But Duan Min didn't seem to have an appetite today, so he put down his chopsticks after taking two bites.
Fortunately, there are not many dishes, and it is not too wasteful.
—
In the next few days, Zhao Yiyan often invited You Xu to go out to dinner. You Xu knew that he was a figure in the midst of thousands of flowers. During his college days, he changed girlfriends as fast as flipping through a book, and even chased after the original body, but what did the original body deal with? Interest is very weak, Zhao Yiyan has been chasing for a long time and has not gotten it, so he is gone.
The enthusiasm Zhao Yiyan is showing now, she can know his thoughts with her toes.
But people like Lin Lanlan have their own circles. If You Xu wants to integrate, you have to build bridges, not for anything else, but to prevent the development of the plot later. If Lin Lanlan wants to clean up You's family, she can't escape.
You Xu would agree to Zhao Yiyan's invitation from time to time, but fortunately he didn't do anything out of the ordinary.
It was finally Lin Lanlan's birthday. She is the only daughter of the chairman of a large group. She will have a lot of appearances for her birthday. You Xu put on delicate makeup, wore a skirt and stepped on high heels, and looked in the mirror carefully in order not to be rude. Take a look.
After confirming that everything was in order, You Xu put a plate of dishes for Duan Min at seven o'clock tonight on the stool in the corridor before leaving.
Zhao Yiyan parked not far downstairs, leaned outside the car door and waited for her. Seeing her approaching, he couldn't help holding her left hand and kissed: "You are so beautiful tonight."
You Xu slightly pulled the corner of his lower lip and withdrew his hand, "Thank you for your compliment."
The two sat in the car, Zhao Yiyan started the engine, and the car drove into the driveway.
In a building not far away, the windows on the seventh floor were wide open, and there was a person standing there, staring intently at the car driving into the distance.
—
The location was a private villa, and Zhao Yiyan took her all the way in and greeted people familiarly.
"Mr. Zhao, a new female companion?" a wavy woman said mockingly.
"Don't talk nonsense," Zhao Yiyan said with a warm smile, "This is my junior sister You Xu."
You Xu followed him all the way in, smiling and responding politely.
"I didn't expect Mr. Zhao to have such a beautiful junior sister." A man said.
"Thank you for the compliment, you are also very handsome." You Xu said.
The interior and exterior of the villa are decorated in a white-based European style. There are many famous paintings hanging on the walls and many expensive antiques. The center is the dance floor, and the sound of the piano and cello slowly flows out.
At the dinner party in the upper class, there are still many people who use this to win over the relationship and talk about business.
Zhao Yiyan turned his head and smiled at You Xu: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
You Xu didn't say anything, just smiled back politely. To be honest, when a pretty handsome man said affectionately with such ambiguous words about me, the little girl was easily moved.
It may be that You Xu has been watching Duan Min for a long time, and his aesthetic level has been suddenly raised.
Zhao Yiyan took You Xu upstairs from the spiral staircase to the open-air platform on the top floor. In the background, there were gorgeous fireworks in the sky. There were more than ten people, a pair of men and women standing in the center holding hands. The handsome men and women were very conspicuous.
Zhao Yiyan picked up a glass of red wine and greeted the man and woman, "Shaosi, Lanlan."
Lin Lanlan was wearing a dark red fishtail skirt, revealing a large piece of skin on her back, with a neat figure and winking eyes, "Yo, brought a new friend?"
Zhao Yiyan introduced: "This is your junior sister You Xu from our university." He turned his head and said to You Xu, "This is Lin Lanlan, today's birthday star."
You Xu politely greeted, and Lin Lanlan nodded slightly.
Xu Shaosi's eyes settled on You Xu, not knowing what he was thinking.
Zhao Yiyan is a person who is good at getting in touch with people, and he quickly brings up the topic, and You Xu also participates appropriately. During this period, Xu Shaosi clinks with her with a glass of wine, his eyes are a little probing, but he says with a warm smile: "You look very similar. one person."
It sounds like a conversation, but You Xu understands that Xu Shaosi is not joking, he is falling in love with You Qi, probably saying that she is somewhat similar to You Qi.
You Xu didn't change his face and smiled brightly: "The way you talk to me is a bit outdated."
Xu Shaoshi smiled and said nothing.
Time passed, and a banquet quickly came to an end. Before leaving, Zhao Yiyan did not forget his mission, and said to Lin Lanlan, "Why don't Lanlan leave a contact information for Xiao Xu, and make a friend to gather together later? "
Lin Lanlan was in a good mood tonight. You Xu Neng said that she knew how to behave properly and left a good impression on her, so she happily exchanged contact information with You Xu.
From the beginning to the end, Xu Shaosi's eyes would always fall on You Xu as if nothing, and You Xu just pretended not to know.
Zhao Yiyan insisted on sending You Xu back, but she shied away but had to agree.
The night was low, and the stars and moon were not visible. The lights on the road and the shadows of the trees brushed the windows of the car alternately, making the interior space of the car half-blind.
The driver was driving in front, and Zhao Yiyan and You Xu sat in the back together.
You Xu was a little tired and exhausted after dealing with this kind of communication, but Zhao Yiyan was obviously a lot more excited. He drank a lot of wine tonight, and now he is close to her, talking ramble.
"Xiao Xu, you didn't have a boyfriend in college, and you don't have one now, do you?"
"I don't know how you are doing all these years, why don't you call my brother, have you forgotten my brother?"
"I couldn't contact you several times, I thought you blocked me."
His arms and legs rubbed against hers, and he was no longer as polite as he was tonight and before. Feeling the heat and alcohol on his side, he moved to the other side without a trace.
Just when You Xu was already close to the car door and had nowhere to go, the car finally stopped downstairs, she immediately opened the door and got out of the car, and said quickly, "Thank you for taking care of you today, brother, and I will go back to rest early. ."
Zhao Yiyan followed indiscriminately and grabbed her wrist. Because of the alcohol, his face was flushed, his eyes were bright, his body staggered twice, he stepped forward and hugged You Xu, his head resting on her neck, Sighing lightly: "How do you want to thank me?"
"I did you such a big favor," his hand touched You Xu's waist through the fabric, "Why don't you invite me upstairs for a cup of tea?"
Today, You Xu was wearing a shoulder-length dress. With his hot face pressed against his shoulders, You Xu felt a chill. She closed her eyes, gritted her teeth, and was about to lift her foot to give him a fatal kick. The weight suddenly became lighter, and Zhao Yiyan was thrown out like a sandbag.
You Xu was stunned for half a second, then subconsciously looked at her half-raised leg, wait, she didn't seem to have touched him yet.
With a muffled "bang", Zhao Yiyan was thrown to the wall, and then slipped off the wall and fell to the ground, the whole person shrank into a ball with trembling pain.
In the blink of an eye, You Xu saw the big brother who appeared out of nowhere. After he threw Zhao Yiyan out, he calmly walked over to grab Zhao Yiyan's neck and lifted him up against the wall.
Zhao Yiyan's whole face turned red due to suffocation, his mouth opened and closed, unable to say a word, and could only make a small, vague voice.
You Xu remembered that the big brother who threw people into the wall at the first word of disagreement was the person she met in the stairwell that day.
She looked to the other side with awareness. There was a tall man standing in the corner downstairs. There were no street lights, and the vision was very dark. The man almost merged with the darkness. Notice there are people there.
You Xu called softly, "Duan Min?"
The shadow moved and walked towards her step by step, walking into the circle of light projected by the street lamp on her side. Half of his face was illuminated, half of it was shadow, and his expression was dark and unclear.
Duan Min stopped two meters away from her, his voice was cold: "Why are you close to him these days?"
His eyes were dark and dark, and with the dim light, You Xu couldn't tell the emotion in his eyes for a while, but felt that his tone was too cold.
You Xu subconsciously said two words: "What?"
After she finished speaking, she wanted to understand again. During this time, Min sent someone to monitor her.
Duan Min didn't want to say more, and looked at Zhao Yiyan with clear eyes, he said something in a low voice, and then snapped his fingers.
Big Brother Cuntou let go of Zhao Yiyan, Zhao Yiyan stood blankly with no expression or movement, becoming a puppet manipulated by him.
Duan Minxu pointed at him and asked, "You approach her purpose."
Zhao Yiyan replied, "I want to fuck her."
You Xu: "..." She still wanted to give him that kick.
Duan Min narrowed his brows, drew a smile, showed white teeth, and said in a gloomy tone, "That's wrong, you want to die."
Zhao Yiyan repeated: "I want to die."
Then, he turned his body sideways, facing the wall, then raised his head and slammed down hard, again and again, smashing the wall with his forehead.
You Xu was startled and looked at the driver in the car. The driver didn't respond, and she should have been controlled. She scanned the surroundings to see if there were any cameras.
After she was sure that she was safe, Zhao Yiyan had already smashed her head and blood.
It was a dark night, the cool wind was bleak, and the light was dim. The man with blood on his face was still frantically smashing his head against the wall. There were muffled noises, and blood flowers bloomed on the ground.
The scene is bloody and violent, and it is very infiltrating.
You Xu saw that Duan Min's expression had not changed, and he didn't mean to stop.
You Xu had a hard time accepting the scene where a person was smashed to death in front of him, and was afraid that Duan Min would cause trouble, so he stepped forward and grabbed the hem of his clothes: "Okay, stop."
Duan Min glanced at her, pursed his lips, his face was heavy, and he looked very unhappy, but he still snapped his fingers.
When Zhao Yiyan received the order, he stopped immediately, and lost his strength and fell to the corner of the wall to faint.
You Xu wanted to see his life and death, but just after taking a step, Duan Min grabbed his wrist vigorously and was dragged all the way to the building.
His brows were tightly knitted, his eyes lit up with dark fire, and he was covered with a layer of black mist that could not be dissipated. The intense emotions made him short of breath, his chest heaved, and the fingertips clasping her wrist were slightly white.
You Xu was pinched so painfully that he resisted being silent, thinking about countermeasures quickly in his head.
Duan Min did not respond to her, and took her all the way back to the seventh floor, and did not let You Xu go back to his room, but dragged her into his room.
As soon as the door opened, You Xu was immediately stunned, his room...
Everywhere in his room was black, with black walls, sofas, floors and furniture, and hardly any other color could be found.
The oppressive and heavy feeling is overwhelming, and the pressure is so overwhelming that people can't breathe.
Duan Min kept walking and brought You Xu directly to the laboratory.
The lab finally had some other colors, but mostly cold white and silver, huge test benches and beds, and a bunch of instruments she couldn't name.
You Xu suddenly remembered his own ending in the world line. He was imprisoned on the experimental bed by Duan Min, and watched with a conscious mind that he was dismembered and finally died in pain.
"Wait, what the hell is going on," You Xu couldn't calm down, "So I worked so hard just to get back to the original plot?"
The system came out sadly and said: "Who made the villain's trust value only 35 now, I'm afraid it's useless for you to beg for mercy."
WTF? Didn't it slowly rise to 50 some time ago, and now it's only 35? ! Can this thing drop
Duan Min let go of her wrist, walked to the test stand on his own, glanced at the instruments on the table, picked up a scalpel, and walked towards You Xu with a half-smile.
You Xu swallowed hard, his whole body was stiff, and cold sweat broke out from his back, and he shouted frantically to the system: "I'm fucking dying, please save me!"
"I'm on the low-end version now, and many permissions are not enabled. I really can't save you. Although the record of failure of the novice task is only you," the system encouraged, "Then you will work harder in the next world."
Listening to the feeling of schadenfreude, You Xu gritted his teeth: "Then open a pain shielding system for me."
"Not enough permissions," the system said lightly, "No way, dear."
... My day, what the hell is an unreliable system.
You Xu even scolded two swear words, and she was about to collapse. She really didn't know why the plot was going in such a way. The feeling of excruciating pain, just thinking about it, makes the scalp tighten.
This broken door didn't even have a doorknob. After closing it, You Xu couldn't do anything. Looking at it again, there were no windows in this airtight space, and she didn't know where to escape.
You Xu slammed the door twice, Duan Min had come behind her, surrounded her with one hand, and said lightly, "Only I can open the door."
The indifferent tone made You Xu's scalp go numb and her cold hair stood on end. You Xu struggled desperately in his arms, but the disparity in strength made her struggle seem particularly weak.
Duan Min clasped her two wrists with one hand and pressed them against the door panel. You Xu subconsciously raised his legs and kicked him under him. He bent his legs slightly to suppress her movements.
You Xu was so tightly pressed against the door that he couldn't move. The two were so close to each other that she could even smell the clear breath on his body. The intimate distance made her face a little hot.
She smiled shyly: "Let's talk about it. Are you hungry? What do you want to eat? I'll cook it for you now?"
If one meal doesn't solve a problem, then two.
"You betrayed me," he said.
A muffled voice sounded above his head, and You Xu was stunned, but didn't respond.
Without giving her time to respond, Duan Min leaned down and met her gaze, "I don't want to give you another chance to betray me."
He shook the scalpel in his hand, and a snow-white cold light lit up in his eyes.
"So—" Duan Min stretched his tail and smiled, like a heinous hell ghost.
"Do you want to know what it's like to be a puppet?"
The author has something to say: The author is suddenly excited and his eyes glow.
Yu Xu: Stepmother!
