Lan Zheng looked into her eyes and said word by word, "Before I go back, can you take off your mask and let me see your true face?"
"Are you going back to Wangcheng tonight? It's already past two o'clock in the morning, and you just came back after running outside all day."
There was a hint of concern in Xu Susu's words.
Not to mention that she and Lan Zheng had been in contact with each other in private so many times and had become somewhat close to each other. Even though he was the brother of her best friend, she couldn't remain indifferent.
"I'm afraid if I don't rush back, my dad will be in danger."
Although father and son are prone to quarrel when they meet, Lan Zheng is still very worried about his father.
As long as his father is alive, he is a child with a father; if his father is gone, he becomes a child without a father.
"As far as I know, it's still very peaceful right now. Ouyang Yu, the Jun family, and the Huo family are all quietly helping with the layout and becoming your father's back-up. It'll be fine."
Xu Susu comforted Lan Zheng.
As expected of the boss of a detective agency, Xu Susu knows much more than the average person.
"It's very peaceful now, but once the police take action, it will break the calm. I have to rush back to discuss the strategy with my dad."
Lan Zheng pulled Xu Susu's hand up, and seeing tenderness flashing in her eyes, he said seriously: "Susu, I suspect it's you. Although you still refuse to take off your mask, I have a hunch that it's you."
"I think I like you. Even if you are not Xu Susu, I still like you."
He prefers her like this.
I don’t like Xu Susu’s appearance.
After Xu Susu was silent, she did not rush to deny or admit it. She asked him: "Your sister has seen my face under the mask. She should have told you that my face under the mask is full of pockmarks.
Aren’t you afraid that if I take off my mask, I’ll be so ugly that I’ll make you cry?”
"I said that I like you as a person and don't care about your beauty or ugliness. I, Lan Zheng, am not that shallow-skinned man."
At that time, Mu Qing looked at Su Su's face under the mask and told him that she was not Xu Susu, and that she was an ugly girl. But he still looked forward to her appearance, liked to talk to her, and treated her like an old friend. He was not in love.
I have, but I am not a fool. I know that I have such expectations for her, and I just like her!
He really fell in love with this woman whose true face he still didn't know.
Xu Susu hesitated, should she admit that she was Xu Susu?
Lan Zheng raised his hand and tentatively placed it on her mask, seeing that she was just looking at him and had no intention of stopping him.
Inspired by this, Lan Zheng instantly took off the silver mask she was wearing.
When the mask was taken off, what he saw was indeed not Xu Susu's stunning face, but a face full of pockmarks, just like Mu Qing said at the beginning.
Su Su raised her face openly, completely exposing her pockmarked face to his eyes, allowing him to see clearly.
Lan Zheng stared at her pockmarked face for a moment, then his hand moved again, falling on her face again, and he touched it gently.
The touch is no different from real skin.
His slender fingers slowly moved around her face, his fingertips occupying her face inch by inch, until his fingers rested on her cheek.
Xu Susu was slightly nervous, but it only happened for a moment. She soon returned to normal and looked at him quietly.
Lan Zheng felt the traces, but he did not tear off the lifelike human skin on her face, saying: "I'll wait for you to tear it off willingly."
Su Su took off his hand and said with a smile: "You have always wanted to know what I look like. Now that you have discovered the flaw, why don't you just peel off my skin in one go?"
"You still don't want to."
"It's not just a day or two that I act like this. No one has ever doubted who I am. How could you suspect that I and the second Miss of the Xu family are the same person?"
After Lan Zheng was silent, he said honestly: "It's not me who doubts you, it's Qingqing. She thinks your figure is very similar to Miss Xu Er, which gives her a sense of familiarity. After testing it, I also suspected that you two are the same person.
"
If they were the same person, I would have to admire her acting skills.
In front of him, she should show her true nature. It is not easy to play a character as gentle as Xu Susu.
In particular, the performance was so good that it was so deeply rooted in the hearts of the people that even Mrs. Lan concealed it.
Xu Susu: "..."
It turned out that Mu Qing was the first to doubt her.
"Qingqing said that you might be a person who pretends to be a pig and eats the tiger. You tried your best to get me to be with you. I told you that day that I came here to pursue you. That night you came to me and asked questions in and out of your words.
The reason why I came to City A cannot avoid the topic of Miss Xu Er marrying far away."
"Therefore, I am basically certain that you are Miss Xu Er."
Xu Susu: "..."
She has been in the world for many years without showing any flaws, but she was suspected by a little girl, Mu Qing. What's terrible is that Mu Qing's analysis was very clear, and her suspicions were also correct.
Do you write novels and have a particularly rich imagination?
She raised her hand and quickly tore off the layer of human skin on her face, revealing Xu Susu's beautiful face.
Lan Zheng had long been certain in his heart that she was Xu Susu's. When she took the initiative to tear off the human mask and saw Xu Susu's beautiful face, Lan Zheng was still shocked. It was not Xu Susu's beauty that shocked her, but his sister.
The guesses turned out to be accurate all the time.
Fortunately, he was hesitant and did not completely refuse to get close to Xu Susu. Otherwise, he might have missed the only woman he had ever had a crush on.
Xu Susu confessed her identity tonight because Lan Zheng had already determined that she was Xu Susu, and the way he spoke, he completely mistook her for Xu Susu.
"Lan Zheng, I lost to Qingqing."
Lan Zheng looked at her deeply and nodded, "Qingqing has a delicate mind."
"You really are Xu Susu. Fortunately, fortunately."
Xu Susu smiled sweetly.
In the past, her smiles were gentle, like the gentle breeze blowing in the spring breeze. Lan Zheng couldn't feel the gentleness of the spring breeze blowing on his face. Now when she smiled sweetly, Lan Zheng felt that he had experienced what it means to be smitten.
Instinctively, he quickly picked up her silver mask and helped her put it on.
Covering her stunning face.
"You want to take off my mask, but why do you try to put it on for me?"
Susu teased him playfully.
She noticed the redness at the base of his ears. Slowly, the redness spread all over his handsome face. Su Su was very happy to see it. He must be shy.
In the past, no matter how bright her smile was, he would be indifferent, and would even despise her for being weak. But now she just smiled, and his face turned red.
"When you like someone, even if she is as beautiful as my mother-in-law, you will like her so much that you can't wait to kiss her twice. When you don't like someone, even if she is like Chang'e descending from the moon, you will not want to take another look at her.
At first glance, I thought it was a waste of time."
