You still want to implicate Gong Ou?
"I won't tear it apart."
Shi Xiaonian stubbornly hid her hands behind her back.
"Gong Ou wanted me to take good care of you, so I promised that I would do it. You take off the thread and sleep well, I'll consider the safety aspects, so you don't need to worry." As Mu Qianchu said this, he reached out to grab her arm and pulled her hand out from behind her back.Shi Xiaonian fiercely resisted, unwilling to break the string, but unable to overcome Mu Qianchu's strength.
The two of them were at loggerheads.
Seeing that the paper was about to be removed by Mu Qianchu, Shi Xiaonian said emotionally, "I do not need you to care, Mu Qianchu! If my mistake delayed everyone's time to save me, if I was captured, and if Gong Ou was threatened by Lancaster, could you bear the responsibility? "
"I'll carry it!"
Mu Qianchu said without thinking, and continued to grab her hand with force, wanting to untie her."You can't afford it! You clearly know in your heart what sort of outcome my most important person was implicated with, and you still want to implicate Gong Ou? " Shi Xiaonian said excitedly.
After saying that, Mu Qianchu's face became pale white, and his hand became stiff as he stood there without moving.
Shi Xiaonian seized the opportunity and retracted her hand, firmly protecting herself, not willing to let go of the thread on her finger.
The brightly lit room suddenly became silent, and even the sound of a pin dropping to the floor could be heard.
The atmosphere became strange.
Shi Xiaonian looked at Mu Qianchu who was sitting in front of him, and realized what she had said. She placed her hands on her forehead, and powerlessly lowered her head.Luo Lie stood at the side and observed the subtle changes between the two and could not help but say, "There's nothing else. Let's go back to sleep and let Mrs. Gong rest well."
"Check it out. I'm sure someone must have snuck into my room." Shi Xiaonian immediately said, his eyes filled with anxiousness.
"It's a maze of trees outside, you can't enter it easily. If someone were to sneak into your room, it's more likely that they are a traitor." Mu Qianchu sat on the side of the bed and said indifferently. His pale white face had not faded yet, but he had recovered his calmness.
"A traitor?"
Shi Xiaonian was stunned.
"I'll check on that. Go to sleep."
Mu Qianchu said calmly. He stood up from the bed and walked out, this time, he did not touch the wall, his long legs moved so fast that he almost fell down.
Luo Lie reached out his hand to touch it.Mu Qianchu pushed his hands away, stubbornly walked out, and closed the door.
Shi Xiaonian was the only one left in the room. She looked at the spot where Mu Qianchu had just sat and her head started to hurt.What was going on? She lived more and more like a hedgehog.
He clearly didn't have much ability, but he could always stab others.Shi Xiaonian leaned back, looking at the room which had regained its tranquility, she thought, then got down from the bed and looked at the floor, trying to find any traces of a room being invaded.
Unfortunately, he didn't.
Other than the fallen cellophane crane, there was nothing else. It was as if no one had entered before.
But someone must have come in, someone from Lancaster must have found this place, or had arranged for the traitor to be there all the time, in order to hold her, and she woke him up with a nightmare and the man had to flee.
That must be it.
It seemed like she had to be even more careful.
Shi Xiaonian lowered her gaze and looked at the thread on her finger. This thread wasn't tied tightly enough, she had to be stronger to be able to wake up immediately.
After a few days, the person still hadn't moved.Mu Qianchu also did not manage to discover anything either, as if everything that happened that night was really as Luo Lie had said; it was just a nightmare for her.
Before nightfall, Shi Xiaonian was playing with Solanum nigrum while sitting alone at the door in deep thought, her back straight and her bow placed right beside him.
Just as Luo Lie had predicted, the shadow that Gong Yao had received did not show itself, and was always buried deeply in his heart. From the small details of the arrow that did not leave his hand, one could see his tensed nerves.
However, this wasn't a problem at the moment. He could only let nature take its course and give him more care and care.
"Mrs. Gong, are you still playing with him?"
He was wearing a dark bathrobe, and he was wiping his hair as he walked toward them.
"Dr. Lo."Shi Xiaonian smiled faintly as she stood up straight from her embrace and called out to her with a smile, "Uncle Luo."
"Be good and continue to play."
Luo Lie pushed his glasses and sat on the sofa, watching the mother and daughter playing with the digital toy. Gong Kui's adding and subtracting skills were quickly calculated, and Shi Xiaonian continued to smile in satisfaction.After a long time, Luo Lie finally said after thinking for a while, "Solanum nigrum, it's getting late, shouldn't you go take a bath?"
Shi Xiaonian looked at him in shock, then immediately understood what he meant. She lowered her head and looked at her daughter who was in her arms, "Solanum nigrum, let Ariza bathe you first."
"Alright."
Gong Kui nodded obediently and left her arms.
Shi Xiaonian tidied up her toys quietly by herself. Her expression was extremely indifferent, and the moment her daughter left, she even lost her smile.
"What does Dr. Lo want to tell me?" Shi Xiaonian asked as she cleaned up the mess.
"Actually, I don't like meddling in other people's business the most. But now that we're all taking refuge together, we can be considered to be on the same boat. It's better to work together." "Mr. Mou, as a blind person, has already done many things that exceed his capabilities. He has to change his defenses three times a day just by arranging alone. Moreover, he doesn't follow the rules. This is a very tiring matter."
That was the end of it.
Shi Xiaonian packed up the toy and understood what he meant. She then looked at Luo Lie's pair of proud and aloof eyes and asked, "Is he in a bad mood these past few days?"
The past was like a tumor in their hearts that would worsen if they touched it.
"You guys don't agree?" Luo Lie asked very straightforwardly."A lot of things can't be easily taken away with a single disagreement." Shi Xiaonian tidied up the toys one by one and said while looking at Luo Lie, "Tell him about it, don't work so hard."
"I thought that would be more useful."Luo Lie said.
"But I can't say it." Shi Xiaonian was very direct.
Luo Lie was stunned for a moment and then nodded his head. "I understand. Who asked me to be a doctor? I have really arrived at a place where all kinds of strange diseases gather. I will settle them myself."
As he said that, Luo Lie stood up from the sofa and left. After taking two steps, he stopped and looked towards Shi Xiaonian.Shi Xiaonian met his gaze and asked in return, "Have you and your brother never contacted each other before?"
With a single sentence, he stabbed at Rollie's weakest spot.
Luo Lie embarrassedly covered it up with a smile. He looked at her and said, "After creating a fake identity, I'll be another person. Besides, I'm just an ordinary friend. What's there to contact me about?"
Shi Xiaonian packed all the toys away and also stood up from the sofa, saying indifferently, "I'm doing quite well. After that, my injuries will quickly recover, and I should be helping Gong Ou deal with Lancaster's matters now."She knew that what Luo Lie wanted to know the most was about Gong Yu's injuries.
It was only after being here for such a long time that Luo Lie finally spoke these words. It seemed that he couldn't tolerate it any longer.
"Is that so? That's good. " Luo Lie nodded. "Their work outside is much more dangerous than us taking refuge here. I don't know when this will end."Shi Xiaonian lowered her eyes and said, "Gong Ou will not let anyone he cares get hurt. Don't worry."
Gong Ou valued his brother a lot, this point she was very clear about.
Gong Ou was smart enough to arrange everything, everyone had been arranged by him.
And others... I've never been able to arrange or control him."What? Are my worries just floating on the surface?" Luo Lie laughed bitterly, "Alright, you should go to bed early as well. Don't tie that thread anymore, Mr. Mou has already strengthened her guard."
After parting with Luo Lie, Shi Xiaonian walked up the stairs by herself. Mu Qianchu slowly walked down from the building, her hand pressing on the armrest. Then, he stopped and her eyes precisely "looked" in Shi Xiaonian's direction.
After the small incident that night, they didn't say another word.Silence stretched between the stairs.
Shi Xiaonian paused in her steps, and without saying a word, continued to walk up the stairs, passing by him.
"…"
Mu Qianchu turned his face to the side as he smelled the fragrance of her body. He opened his mouth to say something but Shi Xiaonian had already walked past him.His face darkened.
If it were not for Gong Ou's idea, Shi Xiaonian would never accept the protection that came from him.
Mu Qianchu laughed at himself as he curled his lips, his smile could not be more bitter. He walked down the stairs step by step, and with a stumble, he fell down the stairs and didn't stand up for a long time.
Shi Xiaonian walked up the stairs. After making sure that Gong Kui and Gong Yao had finished showering and were ready to go to sleep, she returned to her room and closed the door tightly.
Closing the curtains, Shi Xiaonian picked up a coil of thread and started to draw lines in the room. The cloth was even more extravagant than it was in the beginning, from the foot of the piano to the bedside table.The wires that filled the ground looked like mechanisms.
She had been doing this every night for the past few days. She would not be able to catch intruders, so it was normal for her to be a little more cautious.
After doing all this, Shi Xiaonian climbed onto the bed, her hand naturally sweeping past the side. She had already forgotten how many days it was, this bed would always be cold.
"Whap."
Shi Xiaonian threw the other pillow onto the bedside table inside, laid down and turned off the light and went to sleep.
The moonlight was hazy.A curtain of moonlight, never closed, leaked in and fell on the quilt.
The person on the bed was sleeping without moving, breathing evenly.
The string around his fingers suddenly moved, causing the cellophane crane to make rustling sounds.
Shi Xiaonian lay there, her ears twitching sharply. When she suddenly opened her eyes, she saw a black shadow squatting in front of her bed. Her eyes were especially big, emitting a faint light in the darkness.
She screamed, "Someone! "Help!"
He was finally caught by her.
She screamed, and the man did not seal her mouth. He remained crouched.
"Bam."
The door was slammed open by someone from the outside. Mu Qianchu and Luo Lie rushed in once again at the first moment, while the bodyguards followed suit.
