Since he agreed to leave this matter to Lu Jiyuan, Sheng Wantang really didn't pay attention to the follow-up.
After she sent a well-being message to Mu Ruyi, she put the tablet back in the drawer of the bedside table.
Still unable to sleep, Sheng Wantang put on a veil and planned to go out for a walk.
This is her territory, so there is no need to worry about safety issues.
As soon as she walked outside the small courtyard, Sheng Wantang noticed a figure.
Cheng Xiao was sitting in a wheelchair, looking up in a certain direction.
Sheng Wantang followed his gaze and saw her window.
She felt a little weird in her heart. Thinking of Lu Jiyuan's words, she was about to return to the villa quietly.
"Miss Sheng!"
Cheng Xiao stopped her first.
"Mr. Cheng Xiao, why are you here?" Sheng Wantang immediately raised a smile and walked over, as if he had never thought of taking the opportunity to escape.
"Come to see you." Cheng Xiao said.
Sheng Wantang was stunned for a moment, then quickly responded, "Don't worry, Mr. Cheng, I don't take it to heart about what happened during the day. My husband will also help me solve this matter."
Cheng Xiao curled the corners of her lips and lowered her eyes to cover up the coldness in her eyes.
If it weren't for the dappled lights, you could see that his smile was also cold.
"Miss Sheng seems to be trying to distance herself from me." Cheng Xiao raised her eyes, her eyes still gentle, "Is it because of your husband?"
Sheng Wantang's smile froze.
Lu Jiyuan is indeed part of the reason.
"Mr. Cheng, you and I are not related, but your behavior at the auction made me a little scared."
Not relatives or friends?
Cheng Xiao didn't like this statement.
"This is for you, I hope you like it." Cheng Xiao handed Sheng Wantang something like a rolled up poster.
Sheng Wantang looked at him doubtfully and did not answer.
Cheng Xiao saw her thoughts and said, "It's not something valuable."
Sheng Wantang then took over: "Thank you."
There was no topic between the two for a while. Sheng Wantang felt a little embarrassed, so she took the things given by others. It was not polite to leave like this.
"Mr. Cheng, do you believe in Buddhism? I see that you always wear this bead string." She asked for a topic.
"Don't believe it."
Cheng Xiao glanced at the small-leaf red sandalwood bead string on his left hand, and the hanging spikelets swayed slightly.
"Maybe you hope you can be kinder?"
Sheng Wantang thought he was joking, and added: "I remember you once said that you were named after a little girl. Did you see her later?"
"Saw it."
Cheng Xiao's expression was visibly happy.
Apparently, he enjoyed discussing this topic with her.
Sheng Wantang didn't think much and continued: "Then does she still remember you now?"
Cheng Xiao shook his head: "She never remembers me."
The man's handsome facial features are as pleasing to the eye as fine jade carvings under the moonlight, and his eyebrows seem a bit lonely.
The little girl he had missed for many years never remembered him.
Sheng Wantang opened her mouth, wanting to comfort him, but couldn't think of words for a while.
"However, she is doing well now." Cheng Xiao looked at Sheng Wantang's silhouette, "She will no longer be easily bullied and rarely gets sick. It would be better if she could be more ruthless."
"Cruel?" Sheng Wantang couldn't help but said, "My husband also told me the same thing. Do all you men think like this?"
Cheng Xiao's fingers on his legs curled up uncontrollably.
This sounds really harsh.
"Mr. Cheng, I'm going back first. Thank you for coming to see me tonight. Good night!" Sheng Wantang felt an indescribable strange feeling in her heart.
She felt that Cheng Xiao's attitude towards her was very strange, and coupled with what Lu Jiyuan said, she planned to leave if the etiquette was in place.
"Good night, Miss Sheng."
Return to the bedroom.
Sheng Wantang opened the poster...
It's not a poster, it's a well-developed photo.
It was pouring rain in the photo, and the streetlight on the right stretched the shadow of the little girl in the middle straight and long. The little girl was wearing a black raincoat. The raincoat did not fit well and was loose and dragged to the ground, making her look a little embarrassed and lonely.
But her back is very determined.
The little girl's right hand is pocketed in the sleeve of her large raincoat, and she seems to be holding something in her hand, which cannot be seen in the photo.
Sheng Wantang knew.
What she is holding is a candy.
She was eight years old when the photo was taken.
Lin Zhi took her and her younger brother to the amusement park, but the younger brother accidentally fell down and broke his knee. Lin Zhi blamed Sheng Wantang for not taking good care of her younger brother, and took her brother to the hospital, leaving Sheng Wantang at the amusement park.
Sheng Wantang waited at the entrance of the amusement park from morning to night, from the bright sun to the heavy rain.
No one cares if another child is abandoned here.
The rain soaked Sheng Wantang's whole body until a boy of fifteen or sixteen years old walked up to her.
He took off his black raincoat and put it on carefully for her. Even the heavy rain could not stop his patience in his movements.
"Choose one."
He stretched out his hands.
One hand is a candy and the other hand is a dagger.
Eight-year-old Sheng Wantang reached for the candy.
The young man deliberately pushed the dagger forward.
"This knife can be used with a lot of sugar, please think about it."
Xiao Wantang retracted her hand and said, "Don't touch dangerous things."
The young man wore a black baseball cap that covered most of his face, revealing only his fair chin and slightly pale thin lips.
The corner of his lips curled up, and he said mockingly: "The knife can protect yourself, but the candy will be gone after you eat it, and it may be poisonous."
"I will protect myself in the future." She was very firm, "I don't want a knife, thank you brother."
The boy pursed his thin lips tightly and looked unhappy, but he still gave her the candy. His body was coughing violently under the heavy rain, which exposed the fragility of his body.
"If no one picks you up, just walk back by yourself." He endured the discomfort and ordered her, "Go forward and don't look back."
…
Sheng Wantang couldn't remember why he was so obedient at that time, and he really never looked back.
She didn't eat the candy either, so she threw it into the trash can.
She is afraid of poison.
However, Sheng Wantang remembered his words, "If no one picks you up, leave alone" and "Don't look back."
His words influenced the childhood Sheng Wantang to grow up quickly. She no longer relied on Sheng Kun and Lin Zhi, and could move forward and climb up on her own.
At that time, there was only that young man around, and the angle of this photo was directly behind her!
Sheng Wantang's eyelashes trembled, her emotions were greatly impacted, and her chest seemed to be swollen with sourness and guilt.
It turns out that he was the 'gu' from the beginning.
It's just that she never knew him!
The matter was not resolved, and Cheng Xiao happened again. Sheng Wantang originally thought that she might be upset and unable to sleep.
Unexpectedly, I felt sleepy soon after lying down.
The moment her consciousness completely fell into sleep, she realized that such peace of mind was because of Lu Jiyuan.
With his promise, it seemed like there was nothing to fear.
The next day.
Sheng Wantang's consciousness gradually awakened, and she felt that she was in a familiar embrace.
As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw the man's strong and beautiful chest muscles.
"When did you come back?" After waking up, Sheng Wantang's voice seemed particularly soft and waxy.
"After you fall asleep."
Isn't this nonsense?
Since he was talking nonsense, it meant it was quite late and he didn't want her to worry.
Sheng Wantang propped himself up on the bed and kissed Lu Jiyuan's chin.
"Good morning kiss, Mr. Lu."
This kiss is a tacit thank you.
Lu Jiyuan pinched the back of Sheng Wantang's neck, lifted her up a little, and put his lips on hers.
A lingering and tender kiss.
After a long time.
Sheng Wantang felt something strange under the quilt, her body stiffened, and she pushed the man's chest.
