In fact, it would be a lie to say that he was completely unaware of Huo Zheng's unspoken expectation. Huo Zheng probably wanted to make himself and him completely put aside work and have a good time.
From the opponent's point of view, He Yunzhou could fully understand Huo Zheng's mood. In fact, if it hadn't been for that little episode, this would have been He Yunzhou's own expectation.
However, when he thought that Li Fu was the one who personally entrusted this illustration task, He Yunzhou still had some headaches. Only for this person, he really didn't know how to refuse.
"Just treat it as a talisman, there is no other way." He Yunzhou turned his head and comforted Huo Zheng. After finishing speaking, He Yunzhou saw the blank expression of the other party as expected.
"According to the usual practice, if you are fully armed and bring all the tools with you when you go out to play, there is often no work to disturb the vacation. But if you don't bring anything, you just look forward to having a good time, Then generally speaking, you will find that you have to look for tools all over the world, and you have to work desperately."
"Is that so?"
Hearing He Yunzhou's serious reply, Huo Zheng struggled a bit.
It was like a crooked joke, but Huo Zheng couldn't help recalling the previous similar situations, and then he had to admit that what He Yunzhou said made sense.
"Then I'll also bring the computer, keyboard, and teleconference holographic projection—"
Huo Zheng panicked and ran to call the company to ask them to prepare the equipment for remote office. He Yunzhou stared at the man's back and couldn't help but smile secretly.
so cute.
so cute.
so cute.
This feeling flows deep in my heart.
He even had a little self-doubt. For a coaxable human being like Huo Zheng, why did he think that his personality was so similar to Gua Ji
You know, Guaji is really hard to coax sometimes.
But this kind of mixed love and sweet mood soon ended in the ringtone of the mobile phone.
He Yunzhou glanced at the screen inadvertently, then frowned involuntarily.
When answering the call, He Yunzhou even hesitated a little, but by some coincidence, his finger accidentally touched the connect button. Now, even if you bite the bullet, you still need to answer the phone.
"Ouyang?"
"... small boat." Ouyang was silent on the other end of the phone for a while before responding, "If possible, can I come out for dinner tonight?"
"sorry, I-"
I'm going on a trip tomorrow, and I have to pack my luggage at home tonight.
Before He Yunzhou's polite refusal was spoken, Ouyang seemed to know that he wanted to perfunctory himself, with a hint of bitterness, he lowered his voice and sighed softly on the other end of the phone.
"Actually, I also know that you probably don't want to see me very much. However, I plan to return to the United States. If there is no accident, I will not come back in the next many years. Just treat it as my good friend." One last request, I actually want to see how you are again?"
good friend…
He Yunzhou was stunned in place, he had never heard Ouyang speak in such a humble tone, and he couldn't get used to it.
A faint sense of guilt slowly rippled from the bottom of his heart.
Back then in college, if it wasn't for Ouyang, who was always in the limelight, covering him like that, he didn't know how much hardship he would suffer in college. And in the same way, if it weren't for the stupid thing that he personally agreed to, he and Ouyang would still be very good friends until now.
Thinking of this, no matter how much He Yunzhou refused, he couldn't say it out.
"All right… "
He had no choice but to answer.
Of course, after hanging up the phone, regrets came to him like a tide, and he really didn't want to continue to be so entangled with Ouyang.
But when he turned his head and saw Huo Zheng who was standing behind him without knowing when, He Yunzhou's regret became even stronger.
"A Zheng, I..."
"I heard it," Huo Zheng replied sullenly, "it's your friend Ouyang, right?"
He Yunzhou stared at Huo Zheng's face, and answered weakly after a while.
"He's going back to the United States soon, so... In short, today should be the last time I see him, and it won't be delayed until I pack my luggage. Don't worry."
He Yunzhou tightened the expression on his face so that he would not appear too strange.
The words Huo Zheng said before, as well as his performance, were too sour—it was as if the vinegar factory had been smashed, and the soft vinegar smell permeated his whole body.
It made He Yunzhou himself feel a little inexplicably ashamed, uneasy and... and bewildered.
If he hadn't known that Huo Zheng might look down on an ordinary man with no bright spots like himself, He Yunzhou would have felt that Huo Zheng was secretly in love with him and now he was madly jealous.
"irritating… "
Huo Zheng muttered childishly.
He Yunzhou accidentally caught a glimpse of him acting coquettishly unconsciously, and his heart thumped wildly again.
Before he met Huo Zheng, he could never imagine that a tall and handsome young man didn't have to be cool to be particularly attractive.
For him at least.
Once Huo Zheng showed this aggrieved and delicate look, he would wish to give everything he had.
Well, he took back his preface. In this regard, Huo Zheng is indeed very similar to a cat. They are creatures that can easily earn a lot of money.
"I'll go down and sit with him. After all, there are so many unpacked luggage at home, so it won't take long."
He Yunzhou said.
While speaking, he secretly made up his mind that when he saw Ouyang again this time, he would speak clearly no matter what. No matter what the other party thinks about him now, as far as he is concerned, he no longer wants the relationship between the two of them to become that kind of sticky situation.
With this in mind, He Yunzhou carried very simple things when he went out. He didn't even carry a bag on his back. He only took his mobile phone and went out like this.
The meeting place was set at a dessert shop near his home.
He Yunzhou actually knew this store, which was quite famous, but it happened to be located deep in an intricate alley. In addition, neither he nor Ouyang are that keen on sweets. So, why does it have to go through all the trouble of nailing it in that place
But this doubt only remained in his heart for a short moment before being covered up by other trivial matters.
He Yunzhou walked quickly in that alley. Then. Then he heard irregular footsteps coming from behind him. At the beginning, he didn't notice anything wrong, but when the footsteps gradually piled up and lingered behind him, He Yunzhou's sense of crisis changed. got heavier and heavier.
At a corner, He Yunzhou subconsciously glanced behind him.
Someone is following him.
They were a few men dressed in ordinary clothes, but it was precisely because of this that they crowded in such a narrow alley by coincidence, which was very suspicious from every aspect.
And the moment He Yunzhou met those people's eyes, whether it should be said to be excited or panicked, those people gave a shock in unison.
Immediately afterwards, the malice on the faces of the men was revealed.
"You are He Yunzhou, right?"
He Yunzhou's gaze involuntarily fell on the T-shirt on the chest of the person who spoke. It was a picture of Luohua after seeing it up close, and she later made it into a T-shirt and sold it. Coincidentally, Jing Wang Luohua plagiarized one of He Yunzhou's manuscripts very precisely. Therefore, this picture, He Yunzhou knew at a glance that it was just looking at the falling flowers.
He Yunzhou didn't talk nonsense at all, he turned his head and planned to run away, but when he made such a move, the few crazy fanatics behind him became much more excited in an instant.
"Get your camera ready, others hold that guy's hands and feet for me!"
He Yunzhou only heard a sharp and hoarse cry from behind, and then saw a man rushing straight towards him.
The light in the alley was dim, but I don't know why there happened to be a ray of sunlight today, which happened to fall on that person's body. The light reflected from the blade instantly caught He Yunzhou's eyes.
That man has a knife—
And at the moment when this cognition broke into his mind, someone jumped forward and blocked He Yunzhou.
"puff-"
Thinking about it afterwards, the scene was so chaotic at that time, and the sound of the knife piercing into the flesh was so soft, he shouldn't have heard that sound.
But He Yunzhou just heard it, he hugged the man standing in front of him suddenly, and quickly recognized his identity,
"Ou-Ouyang?!"
Ouyang wore a light-colored coat today, and because of this, the bright blood oozing from the wound was particularly obvious on his body.
Even the knife was still resting on his wounded body. He Yunzhou's angle was just right enough to clearly see the dark handle of the knife.
The blood spurted out and dripped onto He Yunzhou's hands, staining his hands.
"Ouyang... Ouyang... hold on, I'll call 120, I'll go find an ambulance..."
He Yunzhou took out his mobile phone, but his hands were covered with warm blood, so he couldn't even turn on the screen.
On the other side, the fanatical fan who directly stabbed a person into a serious injury, a tall and thin boy, was still standing there blankly, staring at the two people in front of him as if he was sleepwalking.
"It's fake, your surname is He, who are you asking to act in this scene, it must be fake, the knife I use can't kill anyone at all, it's just a toy, you really act like it!"
He kept murmuring, but he was about to faint.
Not only him, several of his accomplices saw that the tall and thin man really stabbed someone, they all looked like frogs illuminated by car lights, they just stood there dumbfounded, unable to move at all.
"What did you do?"
He Yunzhou raised his head and roared at them.
"It's fake! Fake! What kind of tricks are you trying to trick—"
While speaking, the tall and thin man rushed up like lightning.
Before He Yunzhou could stop him, he pulled the knife out of Ouyang's body.
The sharp blade was already full of bright red.
At just such a moment, He Yunzhou clearly saw Ouyang's body bursting out and spraying a small stream of blood.
"You are killing people!"
He Yunzhou screamed.
In fact, no matter from the bloodstains at the scene, the strong smell of blood in the air, or even the pale body lying on the ground and twitching slightly, it can be proved that what they are doing now is not a prank, but a serious one. Eight classic crimes.
But probably because it was too scary, the tall and thin man couldn't accept the reality until now.
His expression was crazy, but his eyes were blurred.
"I've said it's fake, this kind of knife can't stab people to death—"
As if wanting to prove what he said, Shou Gao slammed the knife into his abdomen.
"cluck—"
A strange gasp came out of the tall and thin man's throat, probably because of the pain, he didn't even react, and stood there for a long time before slowly lowering his head.
The same blood spread from his abdomen, and after a few seconds, he staggered and fell.
"Ahhhh—"
Now, his companion finally reacted and let out a sharp scream.
