Appreciate the sunny rain at dusk? Appreciate the rain at night? Chu Chengmu recited the name silently in his heart, and a tall girl wearing plain robes seemed to appear in his mind, leaning lazily on the doorpost of the old Zen room.

On the side, he looked lazily at the setting sun in the western sky. The setting sun, with its warm golden red, gently touched the girl's body.

1. Waves of elegant sandalwood spread through the windows washed by rain to the small courtyard outside the Zen room. Under the setting sun, the clouds and rain stopped for a while, and the Bodhi tree in the yard was washed and shone. It was shivering just after being soaked by the rain.

Little crickets, and somewhere in the corner, they chirped happily for the rest of their lives.

"Does it sound good?" Zhong Qingqing looked up at the older boy and asked.

"Well!" Chu Chengmu reached out and pulled Zhong Qingqing up from the ground, motioning her to sit down on the desk in front of him. He first looked at her exquisite mixed-race face, and then looked down at her left hand.

The ring on the little finger asked with a little doubt:

"I remember when I first met you, you were wearing a ring on your left little finger. Wearing the ring on this finger, doesn't it mean you don't want to fall in love, don't want to get married, and don't want to start a relationship between a man and a woman?"

When Zhong Qingqing heard this, her face turned slightly red, and she wanted to turn around and hide away, but Chu Chengmu grabbed her thigh. She was afraid that she would move too much and hurt Chu Chengmu's injured arm.

He had no choice but to curl his lips and said: "You are so sleepy, I will make you tea. Let's talk while drinking tea, what do you think?"

After Chu Chengmu heard this, he let go of Zhong Qingqing's plump and strong thighs, stood up from the boss's chair, moved to sit on the sofa next to the coffee table between their desks, and half-reclined lazily.

On the back of the sofa, I watched the big girl brew a pot of green tea with her fluent tea making skills.

After lowering his head and smelling the tea, Chu Chengmu drank the hot tea liquid in one gulp, then put the tea cup on the tea table. He looked at the big girl who seemed to want to change the subject with a burning gaze and said with a smile.

: "You can drink the tea slowly. You'd better answer my questions first!"

Hearing this, Zhong Qingqing first took off the yellow and white ring on her little finger, then lowered her head, took off a delicate platinum necklace from her neck, untied the clasp of the necklace, and slipped the ring off.

After reaching the necklace, he tied the necklace with a ring as a pendant back to his slender and fair neck, then smiled sweetly at Chu Chengmu and said:

"If I told you that before I met you, my ring was actually worn on my right little finger, would you believe it?"

Chu Chengmu was startled when he heard this. He looked at the big girl opposite the tea table with some surprise, and asked doubtfully: "The last finger on the right hand means that you are currently single, don't want to fall in love, and like to be alone?"

Zhong Qingqing put on the necklace very skillfully, stuffed the pendant into the deep ravine along the collar of her loose shirt, straightened out the loose braid that was a little messy when she took off the necklace, and then curled it up

He stood up his legs, straightened his back, lowered his head and nodded a gray and black Capiron, nodded and said:

"Well, wearing a ring on the little finger of your right hand has many meanings. Compared with the little finger of your left hand, it is not as firm. From the first time I saw you, I quietly changed the ring to the left. At that time, Xiao Yuer was actually

I found it, but her little head was a little stupid, and she didn't realize what I meant, and thought I hated you, hehehe..."

"Then why did you suddenly switch to your left hand?" Chu Chengmu vaguely guessed Da Niu's purpose of doing this, but he couldn't figure out where her starting point was.

"If I didn't switch to my left hand, would you still be as unguarded against me as before? With your character, would you still let me approach you so easily?" Zhong Qingqing held the cigarette with her slender fingers, naughtily.

He smiled at Chu Chengmu and asked.

Hearing this, Chu Chengmu recalled for a moment, and finally shook his head and said with a dumb smile: "I'm afraid not. If I hadn't seen you wearing a non-marriage ring, I would have only brought Qi Qing with me when I went to Silicon Valley.

Hua, and will not take you with me. So you started to have ideas for me on the first day you met me?"

Hearing this, Zhong Qingqing bowed slightly, stretched out her arms to dust the ashtray in the ashtray on the coffee table, then stood up, walked around the coffee table, walked to Chu Chengmu, sat down, and held his arm.

He put his arm on his shoulder, looked at Chu Chengmu with twinkling eyes, and asked softly: "What if I told you that I didn't like you at first, but just wanted to steal it from Xiao Yuer?"

You, what do you think of me?"

When Chu Chengmu heard this, he lowered his head and looked at the uneasy look on Da Niu's face. He shook his head in a funny way and said:

"I am a person who only believes in what I see with my own eyes. What I see in my eyes is only how many sacrifices you, Zhong Qingqing, have made for our cause, Chu Chengmu, and I also see the clumsy ways you use to fight with others.

I have established a bond. As for the starting point, I don't particularly care. But I am indeed a little curious about what happened between you and my sister."

Hearing this, Zhong Qingqing let out a heavy breath, relaxed her whole body, put out the cigarette that she had only taken a few puffs on, hugged Chu Chengmu's arm tightly, lowered her head, and whispered

said:

"Actually, Xiao Yu'er has never offended me. It's just that this was the first time in so many years that I saw a boy she cared about, so I wanted to snatch him away. The starting point at that time was not to get you, but to hurt her.

This emotion is not one of revenge or hatred, just jealousy."

"Jealous?" Zhong Qingqing put out the cigarette butts, but Chu Chengmu was aroused with the desire to smoke. He reached into his pocket, lowered his head and lit the cigarette, and asked.

As soon as Chu Chengmu lit up his cigarette, he was snatched away by Zhong Qingqing. The girl held the cigarette between her legs, took a strong puff, and said faintly:

"Well, jealous, jealous of everything she has, jealous that she can have a complete family, jealous that she can walk under the sun, jealous that she doesn't have to know anything, someone has paved all the roads for her. Even more jealous of her

, you can have Luo Peidong’s complete fatherly love from beginning to end.”

"Chu Chengmu, you probably know something about my life experience. After my family was wiped out, I hid in Yuzhou. From then on, I have been working for Luo Peidong. My father clearly told me

I asked him to take good care of me, but he left all the dark and gray things around him to me. But he left all the bright and beautiful things to Xiao Yuer."

Hearing this, Chu Chengmu felt his mouth and tongue were a little dry. He turned his head to look at the girl's drooped eyelids. He directly picked up the teapot and took a big sip. He lit a cigarette for himself again and asked softly: "Like

Is Sheng Zhenran like that?"

Seeing this, Da Niu glanced sideways at Chu Chengmu, smiled sadly, nodded, shook her head again, and said:

"Sheng Zhenran is just a white glove at best, helping the person behind her launder money and so on. What I do is much more difficult than what she does. When I first arrived in Yuzhou with Gu Ye and the others, after a few years,

Including the lamb, every one of them has a pile of injuries."

"Don't look at Luo Peidong's amiable appearance now. That's because at his current status, he no longer needs to do some gray activities. All the chips are placed on the table and can be exchanged at clear prices.

of."

"But don't forget, he is a child of the top aristocratic family in Kyoto at heart. He does not follow the rules in his blood. If the rules are good for him, he will naturally operate within the rules. If the rules are not good for him,

He would simply bypass the rules and use his own means to solve problems."

Chu Chengmu took a deep puff of the cigarette and said, "Is this why you secretly reminded me to be careful about Luo Peidong?"

When Zhong Qingqing heard this, she glanced at Chu Chengmu in surprise and chuckled, "Did you hear it?"

Chu Chengmu nodded and said: "I'm not stupid. I've never eaten pork and haven't seen pigs running away? Tell me! What has our deputy mayor Luo done before? In fact, I had some feelings before.

, the official circles in Yuzhou seem to be particularly afraid of Luo Peidong. In terms of background, who can be a high-ranking official in the first party without some background? "

Hearing this, Zhong Qingqing bit her lower lip in embarrassment. She suddenly stood up and walked to her desk. She rummaged through her handbag and finally pulled out a black card from the bottom of her wallet.

Taking the card, Zhong Qingqing walked back to Chu Chengmu, handed the card to him, sat down next to him, put her mouth to his ear, and whispered:

"In the past, there used to be a high-quality entertainment venue in Yuzhou. This entertainment venue was not open to the outside world, but it was spread all over Yuzhou. There was no erotic transaction, but the level of transactions involved could influence the situation.

The livelihood of a place or the direction of an official. The girls who serve there all end with the word 'mother', and their names are..."

"Salsify? What a strange name." Chu Chengmu took the card and looked through it. The card was made of pure black matte plastic, with the words Salsify printed on the front, and a simple dandelion-like flower printed on the back.

However, compared to the parachute-like seeds of dandelion, the seeds of the white ball in front of you are obviously different. It feels a little like a birdcage, a little like a spider web, and a little like a fly trap.

Grass.

"Wait a minute, what do you mean it ends with 'mother'? Isn't that right?" Chu Chengmu, who had realized what Zhong Qingqing had just said, suddenly put down the card and looked at the big girl beside him, wondering.

.

"Well, your big friend Huo Tingfeng and his female partner probably worked there. But I don't know why she is still unwilling to change her name. If she has a skill

If it's long, they should be inseparable from each other." Zhong Qingqing nodded and responded.

When Chu Chengmu heard this, he was slightly stunned, then smiled bitterly and said, "What about this entertainment venue now?"

Zhong Qingqing shook her head and said: "After the big flood in 1998, everything was closed overnight."

In 7 years, Xian Niang's son should be 5 years old, so the time seems to be right. After recalling the few interactions between Xian Niang and himself, Chu Chengmu found that this woman seemed to be facing him and himself.

He seemed to be very calm when he was in the small villa in the mountains. This is not like the insight that ordinary women can have.

But since the matter already happened 7 years ago, there is no need to expose it again, otherwise it will be difficult for Brother Feng to do it. It’s not that Chu Chengmu doesn’t believe what Zhong Qingqing said about “salify”

She's not engaged in sex trade, but judging from her unfamiliarity with men and women, she probably doesn't have a deep understanding of that entertainment venue.

Faintly regretting his damn curiosity, Chu Chengmu secretly shook his head, decided to hide the news he just learned in his heart, handed the card at hand back to Zhong Qingqing, and continued to ask: "So you are

Hate Luo Peidong?"

Contrary to Chu Chengmu's expectation, Zhong Qingqing shook her head when she heard this, took a puff of cigarette, smiled to herself, and said:

"I don't hate him for asking me to do dirty work. In fact, I later discovered that he was using his own way to guide me and let me vent the pent-up resentment in my heart. I'm not afraid of your jokes.

When I first arrived in Yuzhou, I was like a robot that only obeyed orders. I did whatever he asked me to do! But it was the time by his side that made me live again.

Come over here."

After finishing speaking, Zhong Qingqing closed her eyes slightly, put out the cigarette in her hand, hugged Chu Chengmu's arm tightly again, squinted her eyes slightly, and continued with a hint of sleepiness.

:

"Although I didn't hate him for letting me do dirty work, I did hate him for sending me abroad when I had just become dependent on him, just when I had feelings of admiration for him, and just when I wanted to treat him as my father.

But he left all his preferences to Xiao Yu'er, and this gift lasted for several years."

After hearing this, Chu Chengmu held the cigarette that was about to burn out, thought for a moment, and said: "Qingqing, don't blame me for helping Luo Peidong speak. If, I mean if, if you were not sent abroad by Luo Peidong, you would continue to work for Luo Peidong.

He does illegal work and continues to rely on him, even treating him as a father. So what will your life be like now?"

Hearing this, Zhong Qingqing was obviously stunned for a moment, then thought for a moment and replied: "Maybe, maybe now I will be like Changsun Fu?"

Zhong Qingqing is extremely smart. This can be seen from the fact that she was able to keep up with Chu Chengmu to paint in the void. She just got into a corner and couldn't get out. Now someone is clarifying the matter for her.

Especially the person who said this was Chu Chengmu. This northeastern girl who devoted all her thoughts to Chu Chengmu reacted immediately.

"Well! Although I don't know what kind of state Changsun Fu is in, it is obviously not the life that a normal person should have. Compared with you now, she is much different." Chu Chengmu nodded and said.

.

Closing her eyes, Zhong Qingqing let go of Chu Chengmu's arm, threw herself into the sofa, turned her head sideways, looked at the light coming through the blinds, and murmured in a low voice: "Could it be that over the years, I
Chapter completed!
