After the game, everyone else went their separate ways.
Smoking is prohibited in Internet cafes, and shops in small places just turn a blind eye to it. No one has the nerve to really ask Zhang Zhiqing for the 500 yuan.
After a brief silence.
Zhang Zhiqing remembered something and leaned close to Shen Mi's ear: "The girl that my grandfather said my uncle has hidden in his heart, it turns out to be you, Mi Mi!"
While feeling happy for Shen Mi, Zhang Zhiqing was also a little confused: "... No, I don't know anything about you two, how did he know?"
Shen Mi looked at Xie Rongzhuo.
Yeah, how did his dad know
She is now very sure that she is the only one Xie Rongzhuo has ever loved.
Zhang Zhiqing's curiosity dissipated under Xie Rongzhuo's cold gaze.
She waved her hands: "I didn't say that! It's none of my business."
"Don't scare her." Shen Mi protected Zhang Zhiqing and explained, "We just confirmed our relationship today. I didn't tell you before because I was afraid he would be unhappy. Later, I was afraid it would be embarrassing if I told you if it didn't work out. I didn't dare to say it several times when the words came to my lips. I didn't hide it from you on purpose, don't be angry."
"Are you stupid? Why should I be angry? I didn't even tell you that I was engaged. I'm so happy that you treat me as your aunt!"
No wonder Xie Rongzhuo said yesterday that he couldn’t sleep at Shen Mi’s place!
Zhang Zhiqing winked at Shen Mi: "I suddenly remembered that I still have to go hiking with Qin Zhimo. I'll leave first. You guys should be careful when you sleep tonight! Bye!"
What safety precautions should be taken when sleeping
Shen Mi: "... Hey Qingqing? Why aren't you safe?"
Xie Rongzhuo glanced at her and leaned towards her: "Really don't know?"
"… "
Shen Mi's face turned red, she seemed to know.
After the crushing defeat, the three boys gathered together and whispered to each other for a while, but no one knew what they were analyzing.
After a while, the three heads suddenly turned in unison and looked at Xie Rongzhuo with admiration.
"Master! Would you like to add me as a friend?"
Shen Mi: “…”
Xie Rongzhuo agreed.
"So lucky! I didn't expect to meet the mysterious person. I have seen your battle recordings. You are my idol!"
"Master, can you guide me? I'm almost at level 15!"
"You haven't made up your points for a few months and your ranking has dropped two places. We thought you sold your account."
"Master, did you, A Game, become a master and apprentice with the mysterious rookie?"
Shen Mi: “…”
"We are not dead, we are alive and well."
…
*
With the blessing of the "idol" halo, things went very smoothly, and the boy took Shen Mi to Mo Yuanzhe's residence.
He first introduced himself: "My name is Mo You, the excellent You."
Shen Mi: "Mo You, nice to meet you."
Mo You: "This is my uncle's house. He passed away, and now it belongs to my dad. My dad usually comes home very late, but today is the weekend, so he should be back soon."
He hesitated for a few seconds and said, "There is a man who has been delivering things to him every weekend afternoon. I'm not sure if they are doing anything bad. If so, please tell me."
Shen Mi asked: "Do you know what the man's name is?"
Mo You: "I heard my dad call him Xiaopeng."
Shen Mi asked: "Is his name Ou Xiaopeng? He switched jobs from a real estate company in the city a few months ago."
Mo You: "I don't know his name, it seems he was fired and came to my dad's company after the New Year."
That's it.
"I have to go back to school." Mo You looked at Xie Rongzhuo with eyes full of respect. He didn't dare to talk to him. He turned to Shen Mi and said, "I have added the master's WeChat. If you have any problems, just let the master find me." After that, he ran away with his schoolbag.
Shen Mi has already sorted out the cause and effect: "No wonder, it only costs a little money to solve the problem, but it has been dragged on until now and made things worse." It was all Ou Xiaopeng's fault.
Xie Rongzhuo also guessed: "Is it because I embarrassed him in public?"
"It has nothing to do with you." Shen Mi said, "These are all historical issues." Ou Xiaopeng lost his job, and Shen Mi refused his mother's request to borrow money. This family has always looked down on her. Even though she graduated from a prestigious university, in Ou Xiaopeng's eyes, she was just lucky to be admitted and would never amount to anything.
They would not acknowledge her efforts, and could not bear to see her living better than them. In addition, he himself was not doing well, and after knowing that the land was transferred to them for business, he deliberately instigated Mo Yuanzhe to handle the matter coldly, thereby intensifying the conflict, and then let them take the blame.
"In small places, connections are important for getting things done. He was born and raised in Beijiang County, so he has a lot of connections already built up. He can almost cover the sky with one hand here."
Xie Rongzhuo sneered: "If the sky is so easy to cover, why should we abide by the law? Don't worry, the local tyrants are just taking advantage of loopholes in the law."
If someone else said this, Shen Mi would laugh at that person for being too naive, but since these words came from Xie Rongzhuo's mouth, it was a real crushing victory.
No matter how capable Ou Xiaopeng is, he can't do anything to Ruixing Bank's legal team.
For ordinary people, a situation that seems like the sky is falling is just a matter of words in front of Xie Rongzhuo.
This is probably an alternative way to fight violence with violence, using money to deal with bullies.
"I may not be able to enjoy the love of my family in this life." Shen Mi said, "I didn't expect that the people who were the cruelest to me were all my relatives."
Xie Rongzhuo held her hand: "You have me."
Shen Mi raised his face: "Luckily I have you."
Xie Rongzhuo bent his index finger and tapped her fair and smooth forehead: "Why are you still so stern?"
"I can't laugh." Shen Mi's mouth drooped, "I thought it was just an ordinary dispute, but it turned out that I dragged down A Li and Qing Qing. I'm really unlucky."
"What a coincidence! I'm very lucky."
Xie Rongzhuo bent down and kissed the top of her head: "I will share half of my good fortune with you."
After being coaxed by him, Shen Mi suddenly felt a little sad, and said guiltily: "You can see that once you get involved with me, there will be a lot of trouble."
Xie Rongzhuo grabbed her hand and said, "I like to help my girlfriend solve her problems the most."
Shen Mi blamed himself: "Sometimes I feel so insignificant. It's not a big deal but I can't do it."
She was wearing flat shoes today, and was shorter than usual. She was wearing simple jeans and a small sweater, with a high ponytail. Her eyes were filled with panic, just like the girl she was when Xie Rongzhuo first met her four years ago.
The difference is that four years ago she was standing next to someone else.
And now, it's his girlfriend.
Xie Rongzhuo suppressed his strong possessive desire, his expression was calm, he lowered his eyes to look at the little head that just reached his neck, his tone was gentle, without revealing any emotion: "Without left and right arms, and without knowing how to use people, the emperor can't keep the country."
Shen Mi raised his head: "Are you willing to be my right-hand man?"
Xie Rongzhuo met her eyes and said, "Use me, Your Majesty."
Shen Mi was suddenly amused, lowered his eyelashes, reached out and poked Xie Rongzhuo's abdominal muscles, and whispered: "You can use it in any way you want?"
The lenses were coated with light, and Xie Rongzhuo's eyes moved slightly, as if his pupils were washed by ink. He moved his sight downwards, staring at the white finger on his waist, raised his eyes and said in a low voice, "How do you want to use it?"
Shen Mi stood on tiptoe, put his lips close to his ear, and whispered: "How do you want me to use it?"
Xie Rongzhuo pinched her chin and turned her face towards him.
"Seduce me?"
He lowered his head and pretended to kiss her, but Shen Mi quickly jumped away: "I was wrong, I was wrong, Master, please spare me!"
This is at someone else's house!
Xie Rongzhuo sneered.
She just acted silly, but if he really did that, she would stay away from him.
The name "Mysterious Newbie" fits her personality quite well.
"Someone's coming in."
Shen Mi held Xie Rongzhuo's hand and lowered his voice: "He won't run away, will he? Let's hide first and wait for him to enter the house, then catch him in the trap."
Xie Rongzhuo took her by the hand and walked around into the green belt next to them, pulling her into his arms.
He was tall and could tell at a glance: "It's not Mo Yuanzhe."
Shen Mi leaned over and saw that the person coming was Ou Xiaopeng.
It didn't matter whether he ran or not, there was no need to hide, Shen Mi was too lazy to avoid it.
Seeing Shen Mi, Ou Xiaopeng cursed fiercely: "Fuck you! Why are you here, you jinx?"
Xie Rongzhuo tightened his jaw, took off his coat, threw it aside, and rolled up his sleeves.
The air around me seemed to have grown colder.
Knowing that he was angry, Shen Mi grabbed him and indicated that there was no need to fight with such a person.
Her forbearance emboldened Ou Xiaopeng. He looked at him with hatred, "Because of you, I lost my job and my wife ran away with someone else! You stinky beggar, how dare you come back?"
Xie Rongzhuo pursed his lips and tensed the muscles in his forearms.
"let go."
"Don't be impulsive." Shen Mi comforted Xie Rongzhuo: "There's no need to fight him."
Since she was a child, Shen Mi has been called a "jinx" and "evil spirit" by Chen Guifang and Ou Xiaopeng. There are many unpleasant words that she cannot even say out loud. After hearing them so many times, she feels nothing inside.
She said expressionlessly: "If a man is incompetent, his wife will run away with someone else sooner or later."
Perhaps because he was touched in a sore spot, Ou Xiaopeng started to bring up the past: "Ever since you came to my house, my parents have been arguing every day! You've made a mess of a good family! Why don't you just go back to where you came from? Why do you have to blame my family? Are you a bitch, bitch? If you're not a bitch, who is—"
Before he could finish his words, he was hit hard in the stomach.
Xie Rongzhuo turned his wrist, his eyes as cold as ice: "That's how you treated her before."
His eyes were cold, and he spoke each word with emphasis: "Since she was little, this is how you bullied her, right?"
He lost his job, his wife ran away, and the barefoot are not afraid of the ones wearing shoes. Ou Xiaopeng completely lost his mind and glared at her provocatively: "So what? What's it to you? You just fell in love with that bitch's face and slept with her for fun. Let me tell you, there are so many bitch men like this, and they are dirty. Without that face—"
Another heavy punch.
Ou Xiaopeng had to squat down because of the pain in his abdomen. When he looked up, his eyes were fierce. He stood up suddenly and took out a fruit knife from his pocket. The knife flashed, but he was not aimed at Xie Rongzhuo.
The tip of the knife quickly stabbed towards Shen Mi's face, obviously intending to disfigure her.
He moved too fast and Shen Mi had no time to react, but the next moment, the knife was caught by a big hand.
Shen Mi looked at the tip of the knife that was less than half an inch away from her cheek, and her legs couldn't help but go weak.
The fruit knife fell to the ground with a clang.
Xie Rongzhuo supported her and said, "Hide behind me."
Seeing the blood on the ground, Shen Mi finally reacted: "Xie Rongzhuo, be careful with your hands!"
Ou Xiaopeng threw a punch at Xie Rongzhuo, but his fist was suddenly stopped in mid-air.
He felt a sudden pain in his wrist bone and his face turned pale in an instant.
Before he could even cry out in pain, he was thrown over the shoulder and landed on the concrete floor.
His breathing was stifled, and the hand on his throat had slender bones, but the strength was like that of the Grim Reaper in hell, ready to take his life.
Xie Rongzhuo's arm muscles tensed, his eyes cold: "You're looking for death?"
The feeling of suffocation made Ou Xiaopeng open his eyes wide in horror and he subconsciously begged for mercy, but no sound came out of his throat.
"I gave you a chance last time. Since you don't want to live a good life, I will definitely not let you live an easy life."
Xie Rongzhuo curled the corners of his lips, and his voice was calm as if he was chatting with him: "You, your mother, have been troubled for more than ten years. From now on, I will be a trouble for you for the rest of your life."
Seeing Ou Xiaopeng's face turning increasingly blue, Shen Mi was so scared that he rushed over and hugged Xie Rongzhuo.
"That's enough, just scare me, let go, Xie Rongzhuo, let go."
The hostility in Xie Rongzhuo's eyes faded away and he loosened his hand.
He is not willing to risk someone's life for such a thing. It's not worth it.
"Don't worry, it wasn't very hard."
"Your hand is bleeding!" Shen Mi was anxious and distressed. He took out a ball of paper from his bag and pressed it on him. "Don't worry about him. Let's go to the hospital first."
Xie Rongzhuo tilted his head to look at the frightened Ou Xiaopeng and smiled at him: "Cousin, do you still want to spar?"
Ou Xiaopeng was so scared that he rolled and crawled.
Madman, this guy is a madman!
At first, Ou Xiaopeng thought Xie Rongzhuo was tall and thin, wore glasses and had gentle features, so he thought he was just a pretty boy and posed no threat. Besides, rich people are afraid of death. Last time, the guy named Ke Zhan was scared away by him.
I didn't expect to meet someone who is not afraid of death and dares to help Shen Mi block the knife.
"Xiao Peng, have you got the things? What are you hiding?"
Mo Yuanzhe walked into the yard and saw a pool of blood on the ground. His face changed: "What did you do?"
"I hurt someone." Ou Xiaopeng trembled and looked around in fear: "Do you have surveillance cameras at home? Turn it off, they will definitely call the police. I can't let the police see me stabbing someone with a knife."
"Dad, how else are you going to lie?" Mo You looked disappointed.
Mo Yuanzhe looked at his son nervously: "No, son, listen to Dad's explanation. Uncle Ou and I—"
"He has killed someone!" Mo You said in disbelief, "You still want to quibble? Fortunately, I came back, otherwise I wouldn't know whether my father is a human or a ghost!"
He turned around and ran quickly towards the hospital.
*
Arriving at the hospital, Shen Mi hurriedly went to register and queue up to pay the fee. The doctor helped Xie Rongzhuo bandage and treat the wound.
There was a deep cut on the lower side of his palm, which required four stitches.
Such a beautiful hand, she usually wouldn't even pinch it! Being hurt like this, Shen Mi felt her heart bleeding.
She picked it up carefully, lowered her head and blew gently on the gauze.
She knew that this action had no effect in relieving pain, but by doing so, it was as if she was truly participating in his pain.
Xie Rongzhuo chuckled: "Shen Mi, do you like me or my hand?"
Shen Mi held up his injured hand with both hands and held it in his palms.
Fortunately, no fingers were hurt.
She kissed Xie Rongzhuo's slender white fingertips, gently held them in her mouth, and said incoherently, "I like them all."
Xie Rongzhuo's eyes darkened, and he turned his head away to look elsewhere: "Are you a hand control?"
Shen Mi: "A little bit."
Xie Rongzhuo turned around and asked her, "Besides hands, what else do you like?"
Shen Mi looked like a fangirl: "As long as it's yours, I like it."
Xie Rongzhuo stared at her bright pupils, then looked down after a few seconds. Because she was biting his finger, her lips looked fuller and smoother than usual.
My throat is a little itchy.
If he hadn't been in the hospital, he might have done something.
"Stop biting."
"oh."
Shen Mi sat down obediently and helped him wipe the saliva off his fingertips.
At this time, there was a burst of hurried footsteps outside.
The voice of a middle-aged man rang out from the corridor: "I am your biological father! How could I lie to you? You just listened to the words of those scammers on the Internet and didn't learn your lesson!"
"How can he be a liar? Do you know who he is? He is a gaming master, so mysterious!"
Shen Mi stood up and protected Xie Rongzhuo's injured hand.
"Isn't that Mo You? Is that his father Mo Yuanzhe?"
This person actually came to my door himself!
Xie Rongzhuo pulled her behind him: "Yes."
"You're really addicted to this game, right? You're so ungrateful that you bring someone home!"
"You don't understand me at all! Am I obsessed with games? I care about those friends!"
Mo You yelled at Mo Yuanzhe: "They care about me more than you do! They comforted and encouraged me when I was in the most pain. Why do you look down on them!"
"God will not lie to me! You destroyed someone else's factory and caused more than 20 workers to lose their jobs and you still don't admit it!"
"If you don't compensate me, I'll report you to the police station for visiting prostitutes!"
"… "
