The cigarette in Leng Xiao's hand burned to the end and burned him. He retracted his distant thoughts and put out the cigarette in the ashtray that was already filled with cigarette butts.
There was a small sound of opening the door, and he turned around hastily.
Qiu Mo was wearing light yellow pajamas, slippers on her feet, and her black hair was scattered on her shoulders. She was standing at the door looking at him with her big hazy eyes rubbed.
"Leng Xiao, why don't you sleep?"
When she woke up, she found that her side was empty. She got up to look for him, but found a light under the study door. Was he still working at such a late hour?
Leng Xiao's depressed mood was suddenly relieved by her appearance. He walked over and hugged her on his shoulders. Her body was so light that she seemed to have no weight. Holding her was like holding a several-year-old child.
Like a child.
She lay softly on his shoulder and said in a somewhat unhappy tone: "You smoke a lot."
She didn't object to him smoking, but he had to do so in moderation because the ashtray was almost full.
"I'll smoke less in the future, okay?" He carried her back to their bedroom.
As soon as Qiu Mo touched the bed, sleepiness came over her, and she rolled into the quilt from his arms, "I'm sleepy, would you like to sleep?"
"Okay, I'll accompany you." He took off his clothes and got into the bed, hugging her again. The fragrance of her body lingered around him sparsely like smoke, tempting him to suppress his desires.
"Leng Xiao, can you tell me what happened?" While he was trying his best not to disturb her sleep, her voice suddenly came from her chest.
He froze, knowing that she had discovered something. He was hesitating whether to tell her or not. She had already put a sticker on him, hugged his waist like a cat and said, "You have been so busy recently. You are not here."
Are you doing something for Yan Tianluo? You are dealing with Ye Hen."
There was no doubt in her tone, she had already confirmed it.
Although she didn't know what he was doing, she could use her eyes, nose, and brain to distinguish and guess.
He increased his vigilance around the house and often came back early in the morning. His body smelled of gunpowder and even seawater, which reminded her of the seawater in Iceland and the ammunition that was constantly being loaded in and shipped out.
"Momo." Leng Xiao turned her face and asked her to look at him. In her dark pupils, his face was clear and determined.
"Iceland is now controlled by others, and Ye Hen's villa in Fontaine Green City has also been destroyed. His era has completely ended."
His words fell clearly on Qiu Mo's heart one by one. Every time they fell, her heart trembled. After a long while, she asked with uncertainty: "Where are the others?"
Leng Xiao shook his head: "You won't see people when you are alive, and you won't see corpses when you die."
She didn't believe that Ye Hen would die so easily. After experiencing so many storms and waves, he still stood firm. The only difference was that this time, the person who dealt with him was Leng Xiao, the person who understood his weaknesses best.
"Are you angry?" Leng Xiao observed her expression carefully.
"I'm angry. I'm angry that you just told me now." Qiu Mo looked into her dark eyes and said, "Leng Xiao, what else can we hide from each other now? You didn't tell me because you were afraid that I would stop you.
?”
He hurriedly defended: "I'm just afraid that you will worry."
She chuckled and stretched out her little hand to stroke the bridge of his handsome nose, "I just ask you not to take his life. I won't force you to do anything else."
Leng Xiao kissed her hand gently: "Momo, Ye Hen's life is not that easy to take. You know better than me."
"What about Pingzhi? How is he?"
"Pingzhi?" Leng Xiao's eyes suddenly darkened. Yan Tianluo had just told him on the phone that Pingzhi pretended to be Ye Hen in order to cover Ye Hen's escape, but was surrounded by his people.
, he was shot five times in a row and died... miserably.
He avoided her eyes and couldn't bear to tell her the truth. He just pressed her face to his chest and said tiredly: "I'm tired, let's sleep, okay?"
"Pingzhi is dead, right?" Qiu Mo no longer needed his answer, his expression was the best answer.
He just hugged her tightly and said nothing.
He thought of Xiaotian and decided to hide this secret from her forever.
"Aren't you going to tell Xiaotian about his death?" Qiu Mo's voice came muffled, and he could hear the choking in her tone. Just a few days ago, Xiaotian came to tell her that she wanted peace.
She went to an ordinary place and became an ordinary couple. She never expected that in such a short period of time, they would be separated forever. It was hard for her to imagine how Xiaotian would react if she knew the news.
"I will take care of Xiaotian's side. What you have to do now is to take good care of yourself." He whispered close to her ear with a trace of panic: "Momo, I can't lose you again."
She held his face with both hands, the tip of her nose pressed against his, and comforted him with her warm body temperature. He was really a child worried about gains and losses. How could she leave him again? Never in this life.
Not long after dinner in the morning, the sound of playing mahjong could be heard upstairs. Several of Nie Ronghua's poker friends went to work every day, rain or shine. For a rich lady like her, in addition to playing cards and spending money, it seemed that it was really
There's nothing to do.
Qiu Mo came to the door of Xiaotian's room, stretched out her hand and knocked on the door.
"Come in." A lazy voice came from inside. As Qiu Mo pushed the door open, what came into view was the room full of snack bags and the somewhat unkempt girl sitting on the bed.
"It's really not your style to get up so early." Qiu Mo picked up the things thrown everywhere on the ground and put them into a garbage bag.
"My friends in the game asked me to download the dungeon early in the morning, but I still set the alarm clock." She was still staring at the computer screen, as if she was working hard to kill monsters.
"Playing games like this will hurt your health. See if I don't complain to your elder brother."
Xiaotian was finally willing to turn away from the computer and said with a smile: "Good Qiu Mo, good Qiu Mo, don't tell my big brother."
"It would be weird if I didn't tell." She snatched her mouse and said with a straight face, "Hurry downstairs and eat."
"Hey, give it back to me quickly, this is the critical moment."
"I don't care. If you don't eat, I will tell your elder brother."
"Okay, five minutes, I'll eat after I finish this round, okay?"
Qiu Mo saw the flattering smile on her face, and when she thought of Pingzhi, she felt a deep sorrow in her heart, and finally gave the mouse back to her: "Five minutes, remember, it's only five minutes."
"Okay, I know."
After sending Qiu Mo away, Xiaotian, who was smiling at first, suddenly lay down on the bed dejectedly. She had set the alarm clock, but in fact she hadn't slept at all. When she thought of the phone call she heard that day, she felt like a knife in her heart.
Pingzhi, how could you do this?
The sudden ringing disturbed her thoughts. She grabbed the phone and put it in front of her face. The caller ID showed Pingzhi's phone number.
She hung up the phone angrily, not wanting to hear any more explanations from him.
