It was already night when I left the Public Security Bureau.

Yao Mulan stood on the street, looking at the other side of the road through a waterfall. On the sidewalk across the road was a woman in a black dress. The woman was very strange. She wore sunglasses, black clothes, and a black handbag at night, which reminded her of the letter to the death that she had seen in a novel.

Yao Mulan looked at her in a flash because the woman was also staring at her tightly. Since she walked out of the Public Security Bureau and stood by the roadside waiting for the car, the woman stared at her motionlessly, as if waiting for her, as if she was monitoring her... The lawyer's car drove over, and the co-pilot was sitting in Yao Zichen. The lawyer parked the car on the side of the road, Yao Mulan got in the car and sat in the back seat, and looked back through the car window. The woman's gaze was indeed following her direction until the car turned the intersection, and she could no longer see the woman.

The lawyer drove the car downstairs, opened the car door for Yao Zichen, and blocked the roof with his hands. The care was beyond words.

Yao Zichen got out of the car like a willow niao and said to him: "Thank you for your hard work today."

The lawyer smiled diligently and pleased: "As long as you can help you, it's worth it."

Yao Mulan ignored them and got off the car and went straight into the unit building.

Yao Zichen smiled apologetically at the lawyer and said, "It's too late today, I won't keep you."

Lawyer: "You go back and have a good rest. Call me any time you have something to do."

She watched the lawyer's car drive for a while, then lifted the cheongsam and stepped up the steps of the unit. When she got home, the nanny prepared supper in the kitchen, and Yao Mulan played with Golden Harvest in the living room.

When the nanny saw Yao Zichen coming back, she sang in the kitchen: "Teacher Yao is back, dinner is about to start."

Yao Zichen changed his weakness and gentleness in front of others and said blankly: "Sister Qin, you go back to the room first."

The nanny didn't dare to ask anything, closed the kitchen fire and returned to the room and closed the door.

Yao Zichen walked behind Yao Mulan, grabbed Yao Mulan's arm and pulled Yao Mulan up hard. The moment Yao Mulan was forced to turn back, she slapped Yao Mulan hard in the face.

Yao Mulan was slapped on the left face, and her messy hair covered her eyes. She stroked her hair back, revealing a reddish-brown birthmark on her left face. She looked at Yao Zichen calmly, with only the coldness of stagnation in her eyes.

Yao Zichen: "What have you done?"

Yao Mulan smiled coldly: "It won't be more excessive than what you did to those people."

Yao Zichen: "It's not your turn to point fingers at me!"

Her roar was hysterical, and her beautiful face was pulled into a hideous shape by anger.

Yao Mulan seemed to have used to seeing her like this, and thought she was funny and ridiculous. She added a layer of joking and contempt when she looked at her: "Okay, I don't care about your business, you can't even care about my business."

She returned to her room and locked the door, turning a deaf ear to Yao Zichen's call.

Soon, there was no movement outside the door. She guessed that Yao Zichen had left again. She walked to the window and looked down. Sure enough, she saw Yao Zichen's blue Porsche drive from the unit building. She had long been used to Yao Zichen's impermanence. Since she remembered, Yao Zichen has returned home in a few times, and he only stayed for one night every time she went home and left in a hurry. Yao Zichen was not a mother to her, but a stranger with blood. Moreover, she hated Yao Zichen's blood flowing through her body. It was Yao Zichen who gave her an ugly birthmark, and it was Yao Zichen who gave her a twisted, dark, deformed personality. She hated her face, her personality, her destiny, and her life. If she could choose, she would rather be a beast or a beggar than be Yao Zichen's daughter. But she had no choice, she could only be Yao Mulan.

Yao Mulan walked to the bed and suddenly felt her knees weak and weak. She lay on the bed, picked up the landline on the bedside table and placed it beside the pillow, and looked at it with her eyes eagerly. She was waiting for a phone call, and the landline was indeed ringing, but it was not the one she was waiting for.

Yao Mulan: "Hey?"

On the phone was a middle-aged man with a thick voice: "It's me."

Yao Mulan was very disappointed: "What are you doing?"

Man: "I heard you're back home."

Yao Mulan: "Yes."

Man: "I also heard that the police caught the murderer who killed Li Feifei."

Yao Mulan: "Speak the key points."

The man sneered: "You are really capable."

Yao Mulan: "You don't need to praise you, you just need to hide your tail, and this matter will be over."

Man: "Then we are even?"

Yao Mulan: "Yes, so don't call me again in the future."

After hanging up the phone, Yao Mulan looked out the window. Outside the window were tall buildings, with several lights on, like flashing eyes, staring at her tightly in the dark night...

A few stars appeared rarely tonight, hiding behind a thin cloud, appearing and disappearing.

Zhou Song returned to the community and looked up inadvertently and found the scattered stars in the sky. He had a sudden idea and wanted to count how many stars there were tonight. So he went aside and walked to the bottom of the unit building without knowing it. He counted very carefully, and did not notice a person standing under the shadow of the tree on the side of the road. When the man tiptoed behind him, he was shocked and suddenly twisted his body and was about to send out his fist!

"It's me, it's me!"

Hearing Qin Xiao's voice, Zhou Song raised his arms and fixed them in the air.

Qin Xiao quickly dodged back and raised his arm to block his head.

Zhou Songbo was slightly angry: "Why don't you make a sound?"

Qin Xiao: "I want to scare you, hey, I almost broke it."

Zhou Song wanted to say something, but he endured it again when he spoke, opened the door of the unit building and walked in.

Qin Xiao quickly followed him into the elevator and looked at his face: "Did you scare you? I deserve to die, I deserve to die, there is absolutely no next time."

There was no emotion on Zhou Song's face, and he was silent for a while before saying, "Don't make such jokes with me in the future."

Qin Xiao: "Okay, okay, never again, don't be angry."

Zhou Song adjusted his smile: "I'm not angry, I'm just not used to it."

When he got home, Zhou Song took out a pair of brand new slippers for Qin Xiao. Qin Xiao changed his shoes and walked into the living room to look around: "You live in such a big house alone."

Zhou Song: "It was prepared by my family."

Sister Cai has left, and there are two dishes and one soup on the table in the restaurant. Zhou Song looked at the dishes and asked Qin Xiao: "Have you had dinner?"

Qin Xiao: "I ate two buns before coming."

Zhou Song pointed to the bathroom and said, "Go and wash your hands, and then come over to have a meal."

Qin Xiao refused much, hung the small bag on his shoulder on the coat rack, and then went to the bathroom.

Zhou Song washed his hands in the sink, then poured two glasses of orange juice to the restaurant. Qin Xiao came out soon and the two sat down for supper. Tonight's dishes were braised crucian carp, stir-fried green beans, and winter melon and ribs soup. Sister Cai also roasted cookies for dessert after meals.

Qin Xiao was not very hungry, but he couldn't stop adding rice three times. Zhou Song ate a few bites of vegetables and pushed the bowls and chopsticks aside, pulled the plate with the biscuits in front of him, and a plate of biscuits was quickly lost in half.

Seeing that he didn't eat well, Qin Xiao said, "Snacks cannot be eaten as food, so how many more dishes should you eat."

Zhou Song couldn't listen to any advice like this, so he just nodded perfunctorily.

Qin Xiao had no choice but to use the dishes alone and took the dishes to the kitchen to wash them. While he was washing the dishes, Zhou Song sat in the restaurant to eat biscuits, and said insincerely: "I'll wash it."

Of course Qin Xiao wouldn't let him wash: "Your hands are whiter and tenderer than the little girl's. I'm sure you haven't even taken a rag. Sit there and rest."

He washed the dishes and wiped the kitchen counter clean, then took off the small shoulder bag hanging on the coat rack and asked, "Where is the bathroom?"

Zhou Song took the cookie plate and led him to the bathroom door, opened the sliding door, and the shower hanging on the shelf was still dripping water. Qin Xiao walked in with his bag, removed the entire pipe of the shower quickly, and started to repair it by knocking and knocking.

Zhou Song moved a short stool and sat at the door, eating biscuits and watching him repair the shower, thinking it was much more interesting than watching TV.

"Did you drive?" Zhou Song asked.

Qin Xiao quickly unloaded the screws at the connection point of the water pipe: "No, my friend wants to use the car himself, so I don't have it."

Zhou Song: "Then why did you move the table away?"

Qin Xiao: "I'll take a taxi. If the taxi doesn't pull me, I'll carry it back."

Zhou Song: "The combined weight of tables and chairs is not light."

Qin Xiao showed off his biceps: "I'm not a waste of time."

Zhou Song: "...you should find a car."

Qin Xiao smiled and said, "I'm just teasing you, my friend will come over after get off work later."

The bathroom was jingling for a while, Qin Xiao put the shower on and pressed it back on the wall. When he turned on the switch, the water flowed down with a whirring sound, and instantly poured Qin Xiao’s head soaked. He wiped off the water from his face and said, “Okay, is the water bigger than before?”

Zhou Song covered the plate with his hands to prevent the splashing water from wetting the biscuits, and reminded him lightly: "Your clothes are wet."

Qin Xiao: "Ah yes! Damn the grooves and grooves!" He quickly turned off the water, but still poured water and dripped it off.

Zhou Song picked up a biscuit and took a bite: "You might as well take a shower, otherwise you will catch a cold."

Qin Xiao felt a little embarrassed: "Is it convenient?"

Zhou Song stood up and walked towards the bedroom: "The bathroom stuff is free of use except towels, I'll get you clothes."

When he moved to this house, Liang Yi bought a lot of clothes for him. It was probably because Liang Yi hadn't seen him for several years, forgot his figure and size, or thought he would grow taller, but in short, the clothes he bought were more than one size and was too loose on him. It was probably quite appropriate to wear them for Qin Xiao.

Zhou Song put his clothes and a brand new towel on the shelf outside the bathroom door, and then lay on the sofa in the living room to look at his cell phone.

Qin Xiao came out after taking a shower. The white t-t-t-trousers that Zhou Song found for him fit very well. Qin Xiao took the tag that had just been pulled off from his clothes and said, "Your clothes are all famous brands. I will wash them clean and return them to you."

Zhou Song glanced at him, nodded casually, and pointed to the storage room again: "The table is inside."

Qin Xiao went to the storage room to look at the table, and after seeing it, he came out happily: "It's great, it's good, it's not big or small, it's just right in our house."

Zhou Song asked: "Where did you rent the house?"

Qin Xiao walked over and sat on the sofa: "The family building behind the postal building on Changning Road."

Zhou Song didn't know where the postal building was, and he had no impression of the family building there, but he didn't ask in detail, just said 'oh', and then stared at the phone and stopped moving.

Qin Xiao was idle and looked around the living room carefully. He saw a thin laptop computer on the end of Zhou Song lying on the sofa, "Is that computer yours?"

Zhou Song said "yes".

Qin Xiao: "Can I use it?"

Zhou Song still said "um" lazyly. He was just looking at his phone and didn't pay attention to what Qin Xiao said. He lay on the sofa for a while, touched the biscuits, and then he lazily got up and took the plate to the kitchen to pack the biscuits. Sister Cai knew that he liked to eat sweet things, so she deliberately baked some more cookies and left some in the oven. He put all the remaining biscuits into the plate and returned to the living room with the plate. Only then did he find that Qin Xiao was sitting on the carpet using his computer. He was bored, so he sat down next to Qin Xiao: "What are you doing?"
