The night was so dark that the entrance to the metropolis was still brightly lit.
Tonight is a day when Ye Laixiang will come on stage to sing. There are more people in the metropolis than in the past. They all waited to hear Ye Laixiang's singing.
The performance was over, and the crowd gradually dispersed. The metropolis returned to silence.
Ding Yuexuan took off her makeup, she and Qin Xiao left the dressing room and walked to the door.
There were a lot of people in the city just now, Ding Yuexuan waited for a while, and when the people were almost dispersed, she started to leave.
Ding Yuexuan saw a person as soon as he walked to the door.
Duan Duo had been waiting at the gate of Metropolis, and seeing Ding Yuexuan coming out, he hurriedly greeted him.
"Miss Ding, do you remember me?"
Duan Duo likes Ding Yuexuan, but it's not easy to disturb her when Ding Yuexuan is singing. I specially waited until this time before I came to see Ding Yuexuan.
Ding Yuexuan recognized this person: "Mr. Duan."
Ding Yuexuan had met this person before, and she recognized him as the young owner of the New Town Hotel.
Duan Duo glanced at Qin Xiao: "I have something to tell Miss Ding alone..."
His words are extremely polite and don't make people feel uncomfortable.
Qin Xiao glanced at Duan Duo.
He didn't know what the purpose of this man was, so naturally he would not leave.
Duan Duo said again: "I am not malicious."
Qin Xiao only walked farther, but he was not far away from Ding Yuexuan.
It just so happens that Ding Yuexuan's situation can be clearly seen.
Seeing Qin Xiao leaving, Duan Duo said: "I've heard Miss Ding sing before..."
Although Ding Yuexuan listened, her heart was not here.
The man came to talk to himself, and Qin Xiao left like this, wouldn't he worry about himself
Ding Yuexuan looked at Qin Xiao casually, and realized that he was not looking at him.
As if not caring that she was talking to others.
Ding Yuexuan felt a little lost.
Qin Xiao has been protecting her. Is she just a friend to Qin Xiao
The cold wind blew over, and Ding Yuexuan only felt a slight cold in her palms.
Qin Xiao stood not far away.
At first, he didn't look at Ding Yuexuan, but then a thought suddenly came to him.
Qin Xiao thought to himself, this person came to Ding Yuexuan, and he didn't know what his character was.
Ding Yuexuan is his friend, and he always wants to observe that talent and rest assured.
Qin Xiao told himself so, so his eyes fell on Ding Yuexuan.
It happened to meet Ding Yuexuan's dark eyes.
Qin Xiao was taken aback, and immediately turned his head and withdrew his gaze.
I don't know why, when Ding Yuexuan saw it, he was a little guilty.
Ding Yuexuan originally thought that Qin Xiao didn't care about her, but she didn't expect that Qin Xiao was looking at herself when she found out.
A trace of joy floated in Ding Yuexuan's heart, her expression softened a lot.
Duan Duo's words didn't reach her ears.
Duan Duo looked at Ding Yuexuan closely, only to feel that she was more beautiful.
He couldn't help but grabbed Ding Yuexuan's arm: "Miss Ding..."
Ding Yuexuan frowned, just about to break free. But when she saw Qin Xiao, her eyes moved slightly and stopped again.
Qin Xiao happened to look over.
When Ding Yuexuan talked to Duan Duo, he was always a little worried and kept paying attention to the movement here.
When he saw Duan Duo grabbing Ding Yuexuan's hand, his face became cold, what this person is going to do to Ding Yuexuan.
He walked up quickly, looking a little anxious.
Upon seeing this, Ding Yuexuan's eyes showed a very shallow smile.
Qin Xiao came to the front and saw Duan Duo let go.
Duan Duo said, "Miss Ding, I'm sorry, it's me who lost my mind."
Duan Duo's tone was apologetic, he shouldn't abrupt Ding Yuexuan.
Qin Xiao's movements stagnated.
Seeing Duan Duo apologize, he did not speak any more.
Ding Yuexuan had been paying attention to Qin Xiao's reaction, and the smile in her eyes deepened.
She looked at Duan Duo and said flatly: "Nothing."
After Duan Duo left, he fell silent all around.
Qin Xiao looked at Ding Yuexuan: "Ding... Yuexuan, I will take you home."
Thinking of Ding Yuexuan telling herself not to call her Miss Ding again, Qin Xiao quickly changed her words.
Ding Yuexuan smiled: "Yeah."
The night was deep, the bustling Shanghai Beach sank in the cold gloom, and the endless darkness slowly spread.
The car drove smoothly, passing through the quiet streets.
Ding Yuexuan tilted her head and looked out the window.
Outside is a bleak winter day, with a cool breath. But Ding Yuexuan's heart was filled with warmth.
Qin Xiao's figure appeared in her mind.
Just now Duan Duo took her hand, and Qin Xiao walked over immediately after seeing it.
Why did Qin Xiao do this? She just wanted an answer.
Ding Yuexuan suddenly said, breaking the silence: "Qin Xiao, why did you come over just now?"
Qin Xiao's tone was serious: "I'm worried that Mr. Duan will do something that shouldn't be done."
Ding Yuexuan is his friend, and he will not let her fall into danger.
Ding Yuexuan's mouth curled up: "So you are worried about me?"
Qin Xiao has always been taciturn and never tells what's in his heart.
Although Qin Xiao didn't mention it, Ding Yuexuan knew that Qin Xiao was caring about herself.
This person is really duplicity.
The snow-white moonlight fell between Ding Yuexuan's eyebrows, and the soft light became more and more calm.
Qin Xiao thought without hesitation: "Yue Xuan, you are my friend, I will naturally worry about your safety."
As soon as the voice fell, the atmosphere in the car seemed to stagnate.
The thick night was weighed down. The car window blocked the chill, but Ding Yuexuan's heart was even colder than this winter.
The dark shadow of the tree passed by outside the window and fell into the car, leaving a dark shadow.
The cold moonlight was mostly covered, and Ding Yuexuan's expression was indistinguishable.
Ding Yuexuan's voice was slightly cool: "Friend?"
Her voice fell in the still air, extremely soft, extremely cold, and soon dispersed.
The heart also sank a little bit.
Ding Yuexuan was sure that she had just seen the concern of Qin Xiao's eyes. But what she wanted to hear was not the answer.
In the beginning, when she saw Qin Xiao in the newspaper, she knew that Qin Xiao had participated in banning the black market competition.
At that time, she admired Qin Xiao.
Later, Qin Xiao came to her to protect her. At first she did treat Qin Xiao as a friend. Later, Qin Xiao rescued her...
She didn't know when she started, but her thoughts on Qin Xiao slowly changed.
She didn't want to just be Qin Xiao's friend.
Ding Yuexuan said softly: "Really?"
There was a slight sound, with a hint of indifference.
Ding Yuexuan's reaction was a little strange, and Qin Xiao was a little puzzled: "Miss Ding, you said it yourself, we are friends."
Qin Xiao didn't know, what happened to Ding Yuexuan now
Ding Yuexuan told him earlier that the two will be friends in the future. In Qin Xiao's heart, he also always regarded Ding Yuexuan as a friend.
Qin Xiao couldn't really guess Ding Yuexuan's thoughts.
Hearing Qin Xiao's words, Ding Yuexuan's anger became even stronger: "Are you really not understanding, or are you not understanding?"
If you change to someone else, they must have understood the reason for her anger.
But looking at Qin Xiao, the doubt on his face did not seem to be fake.
He really didn't know why she was angry.
But her thoughts on him were not so clear.
She is a woman after all.
Ding Yuexuan glanced at Qin Xiao, it was really an elm bump.
If she gets angry at Qin Xiao, it will be like a punch in the cotton. It was empty inside, no response was received, and she herself was not comfortable.
Ding Yuexuan's anger suddenly stopped.
Qin Xiao paid attention to Ding Yuexuan's expression, and tentatively asked, "Is there something wrong with me?"
"Or did I say the wrong thing and made you angry?"
After thinking about it, Qin Xiao still couldn't find the reason.
At this time, Ding Yuexuan had calmed down, and she said lightly: "Qin Xiao, am I just a friend to you?"
Ding Yuexuan lowered her eyes, her expression extremely calm.
It sounded like she was asking just an ordinary sentence.
She seemed calm, but her true emotions were hidden.
Ding Yuexuan's hand was slightly clenched.
She was a little nervous, she had said so clearly, Qin Xiao should always know what she meant.
Upon hearing this, Qin Xiao was stunned.
Qin Xiao pondered, in his heart, what kind of feelings he had for Ding Yuexuan.
Before, he had never heard of Laixiang who stayed overnight. Until Shen Jiuye came to him and told him to protect Ye Laixiang.
Shen Jiuye told himself that Ye Laixiang is the most famous singer in Shanghai.
Qin Xiao responded to Shen Jiuye and came to Ding Yuexuan's side...
But I don't know when, his eyes will follow her unconsciously.
Ding Yuexuan seemed special to him.
Qin Xiao turned to look at Ding Yuexuan, but he didn't understand why Ding Yuexuan asked.
After a long time without hearing Qin Xiao's voice, the expectation in Ding Yuexuan's eyes gradually faded.
There was silence in the car, this silence was extremely heavy, as if the coldest wind in winter slowly passed Ding Yuexuan's heart.
Ding Yuexuan's eyes were heavy: "Stop."
Her voice was slightly cool, like a lonely moonlight.
Qin Xiao frowned slightly: "Miss Ding, let's calm down first."
It was too reckless to just get out of the car.
Ding Yuexuan didn't look at him, and coldly repeated: "Stop."
The light in the car seemed to dim for a few minutes, and the flowing air also slowed down.
At this time, the inside of the car was very quiet, and the atmosphere was extremely depressed.
Both of them stopped talking.
After a while, the car stopped slowly.
Qin Xiao's current mood is extremely complicated, and his thoughts are also a little confused due to Ding Yuexuan's words.
He decided to get off the car and talk to Ding Yuexuan.
The door opened, Ding Yuexuan got out of the car, and the cold air suddenly surged up.
She walked straight forward.
Now, she didn't want to see Qin Xiao's face.
Qin Xiao quickly followed, with a concerned tone: "Miss Ding, I will take you home first."
It was late at night, and she went home alone, very unsafe.
Qin Xiao continued: "If you are in danger..."
Ding Yuexuan stopped suddenly and turned to look at Qin Xiao.
She raised her face and looked at him seriously.
Ding Yuexuan said word by word: "Then are you worried?"
Since Qin Xiao wouldn't let her go, she would ask clearly.
There was deep darkness all around, and the snow-white moonlight fell, and her figure was extremely quiet, and her complexion became softer.
Qin Xiao's heart suddenly became a little confused.
Qin Xiao was about to answer. At this moment, his eyes flicked somewhere, his brows tightened slightly.
There seemed to be someone watching them behind him.
The man behaved sneakily, with a camera in his hand, much like the reporters from the magazines and newspapers on the beach.
There was a car parked not far away, and the person in the car was indeed a reporter.
They saw a pair of men and women seem to be arguing, and the woman's back was a bit familiar, as if it was Ye Laoxiang.
But the night was deep, and the reporter wasn't sure if the woman was Ye Laixiang, he was trying to take a closer look.
After all, if the person is really Ye Laixiang, it would be big news if you photographed her.
Qin Xiao saw the situation there clearly, his eyes were slightly cold.
Qin Xiao said, "There are reporters."
Then, he stretched out his hand, grabbed Ding Yuexuan, and wanted to take Ding Yuexuan into the car.
Her hands are extremely thin, and they feel cold to the touch.
Qin Xiao's palm was on her hand, this feeling was extremely clear.
The icy coldness filled up silently, like a cold and bright moonlight.
Little by little, it hit the bottom of Qin Xiao's heart, and it became more vivid in this quiet night.
Qin Xiao was startled, and subconsciously wanted to let go.
He raised his eyes and glanced across Ding Yuexuan's face.
Ding Yuexuan also happened to look over.
The two met in the dark.
There was a bitter wind in his ears, and Qin Xiao's heart suddenly calmed down.
In the silent air, Qin Xiao seemed to hear her light breathing.
Very slight and extremely clear.
Somehow, he didn't want to let go.
Qin Xiao's hand tightened slightly, and Ding Yuexuan's hand was completely wrapped.
Ding Yuexuan smiled sharply.
Qin Xiao's voice sounded: "Let's go."
Ding Yuexuan did not resist and got into the car.
The car started slowly and drove into the deep night.
…
Su Family Racecourse had something like that, and it was quickly concealed by Su Family.
He Xun wants to investigate this matter thoroughly. He knows that a nail must have been buried in the He mansion.
If he wants to move those people, He Xun must find a reasonable excuse. He Xun couldn't believe anyone else, so he only told his mother about the matter.
Mr. He is in politics and is often not in Shanghai. Mrs. He is in charge of everything at home.
He Xun's mother was in business and was the head of Shunnan's goods. Now that He Xun has returned to Shanghai, the Shunnan item number has been handed over to He Xun.
Mrs. He was a little flustered after learning about what happened at the Sujia Racecourse, but she quickly calmed down.
Lu Sanshao and Su Datong completely trusted the He family, which relieved Mrs. He.
Now that Lu Sanshao had a plan, Mrs. He would naturally cooperate fully.
If you dare to put your eyes in the He mansion, you have to think about the consequences.
He Xun has already discussed with Su Mingzhe, and the two have the same tone.
The Su family had already dealt with the racecourse, and no one knew that the people who witnessed the gun battle were Lu Huai and Ye Chu.
The Su family only released news to the outside world, Su Mingzhe was injured and was temporarily unable to show his face.
But they understand that as long as this matter enters the ears of the caring person, it will have another effect.
On the second day, there was originally a board meeting of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce in the Xincheng Hotel. Su Mingzhe really did not attend, the excuse is still injured.
Even if the meeting cannot come, Su Mingzhe's injury must be serious.
He Xun watched the people in the He mansion closely, as long as there was a slight movement, he could immediately notice it.
Su Mingzhe was in distress, and the fellow of the He family did not come back. These two things are enough to make people lurking here change.
However, by the time He Xun caught those people, they had taken poison and committed suicide.
He Xun's eyes darkened. Lu Huai had previously reminded him that he shouldn't be stunned. He quietly replaced the Hejia dark chess.
It seemed that this matter was more complicated than he thought.
…
Hanyang.
The room was silent, and darkness struck.
Mo Qinghan sat alone in the room, allowing the darkness to swallow it up. His face was indistinguishable, like night.
I don't know how long it has passed, and the sky is getting brighter.
The morning light appeared, illuminating the entire room.
Mo Qinghan stood up and walked to the window.
He opened the window, creaking, and the cold wind arrived.
Mo Qinghan stood in front of the window, his back lonely, and the cold wind passed by, but he didn't realize it.
It is desolate to the eye, it is midwinter, and the vegetation is declining.
At the end of the night, the lights outside had long been extinguished, and it was empty.
Mo Qinghan stood in a lonely room under the blue sky.
Before leaving Shanghai, he had already noticed that someone suspected Shang Yan.
When he went to Hanyang, he removed the guards beside Shang Yan.
After this, Shang Yan has become an abandoned son.
As long as Shang Yan shows his feet, he will not continue to use her.
Even if the Shang family behind Shang Yan is beneficial to him, he will not reveal his identity because of an insignificant person.
During his absence in Shanghai, Net Cloud moved frequently and was almost spotted.
Jing Yun wanted to provoke the He family and the Su family, but he did not expect that those people who were placed in the He family would become useless when they were turned against the generals.
These people have been fed the poison in advance, and no one will trace Jingyun's head.
Nevertheless, Mo Qinghan will not let Jingyun do anything for him in the near future.
These things are all related to Lu Huai, and he must have become suspicious and heightened his vigilance.
Looking at the withered winter of Hanyang, Mo Qinghan's eyes were dark, as if the dark sky outside the window.
He thought it was time for him to go back to Shanghai.
…
The Su family and He family are busy.
Su Mingzhe pretended to recuperate, and he called Ye Chu and told her not to leave Ye Mansion.
In order to avoid some people's bad thoughts.
Ye Chu did not leave home all day.
It was late this night, and Ye Chu was about to close the window and go to sleep.
Ye Mansion was extremely silent, there was no sound around, and her hand was placed on the window.
She hadn't closed the window yet, and when she glanced out the window inadvertently, her movements were slightly stagnant.
The night was dark, the stars were dim, and there was a person standing in the yard.
He stood in the dark, the surrounding light was faint, and he couldn't see his face clearly.
But the figure is very familiar.
At a glance, she knew that the person was Lu Huai.
Ye Chu let go, without closing the window, she took a step back and stood looking at him in the room.
Today, Bai Ying did not come to deliver the news, and there was no movement from the dark guard.
Lu Huai came here alone without notifying her.
Is there something important
Lu Huai frowned slightly and walked in the direction of Ye Chu.
He quickened his pace, seemingly anxious.
He has doubts in his heart, and if he can't solve them, he can't sleep.
Ye Chu opened the door, and the cold winter wind hit the room, and the temperature in the room dropped a bit.
She felt a little cold, and couldn't help but tighten her body.
Lu Huai crossed the corridor and approached Ye Chu's room step by step.
When he walked to the door, he happened to see her waiting for him there.
He looked into her eyes and stopped for a few seconds.
Last night, Lu Huai had a dream. After waking up, his confusion did not disappear.
But today's day-to-day affairs are so heavy that he is free tonight.
Therefore, before Lu Huai had time to talk to Ye Chu, he came to look for her.
Lu Huai's vision became clear, and he quickly returned to his senses.
"Ye Chu." Lu Huai called her name as he reached out and closed the door.
The cold wind was shut outside, leaving only the two of them in the room, looking at each other.
Lu Huai stared at her silently, but Ye Chu didn't realize that he was wrong.
She asked: "Why did you come here today?"
Lu Huai said, "I don't quite understand some things."
Ye Chu asked again: "What's the matter?"
Lu Huai did not answer, but looked at her silently.
The next second, he suddenly walked towards her.
His breath gradually approached, Ye Chu did not back down.
Lu Huai leaned over, wrapped his hands around Ye Chu's body, and hugged her.
There was a faint coldness on his body, as if he had only been in the cold wind for a long time.
Lu Huai's movements were always sudden, without warning, Ye Chu's body stiffened slightly.
Her body was warm, just to warm his cold body.
Although she was puzzled, she didn't struggle and let him hold it.
Lu Huai's hand stroked her arm lightly, and she didn't notice it much.
It's not like a hug, it's like a probe.
The dream last night was too real, and Lu Huai was a little skeptical.
Yesterday they witnessed a gun battle at the racecourse. Last night he had a dream of teaching a woman to ride a horse.
It's just that the scenes are similar, and the things that happen are completely different.
He unexpectedly felt that there seemed to be some connection between the two.
While Lu Huai hugged Ye Chu, he was also carefully feeling her body.
Extremely soft.
The touch on her body is very similar to the person in the dream.
Could it be said that women's bodies have the same touch
Or is she the one in the dream
He still didn't quite understand, after all, he only hugged a woman.
Lu Huai fell into his thoughts and couldn't help but hug her tighter.
Ye Chu didn't know what he wanted to do, only felt that his body was tightened.
She was a little uncomfortable, struggling slightly, but did not break free from his embrace.
He frowned and his hands tightened again.
The voice was low, loud and clear in the silent night.
"do not move."
