It has been five years since Xiaoying, who grew up with his childhood sweetheart and playful friends, has been dead. This childhood memory and sweet first love have been deeply imprinted in Zhang Xiaolong's heart. Not only has his longing not weakened, but it has become more and more intense.
Sincerity. When he met the beautiful and gentle Su Qing, the lively and cheerful Wang Xue, and the coquettish and charming Kong Ning, Zhang Xiaolong's heart was also touched. He had a desire to possess, but deep in his heart after the incident, he
He is more persistent about the girl he once liked, and the memory is more painful. The persistent love is full of longing. That delicate figure and that sweet smile will always remain in his heart. Even Zhang Xiaolong often has the illusion that Zhang Ying is not dead! But now it is
It appeared so real before my eyes.
The moment Hou Ying appeared in front of him, her almost identical face, same height and demeanor instantly ignited Zhang Xiaolong's most fragile heart. He felt that the whole world became radiant again, colorful and full of passion.
Yes!
Zhang Xiaolong was completely burned. He really saw the dead Zhang Ying, and held her tightly in his arms, feeling her body temperature, and the familiar feeling of hair brushing against his face like an electric current.
...which made his tears flow uncontrollably. In addition to being excited... he was still excited.
The illusion has paralyzed normal thinking. At this moment, any man with rich emotions and fragile heart would rather believe that this is true, instead of being patient, rational, and admitting against his will that this is just a coincidence, a similar but empty one.
A fantasy that no one wants to admit.
"All this is true, Xiaoying, so you're not dead?" Zhang Xiaolong hugged Hou Ying tightly, but Hou Ying let him hold her without struggling. There was no emotion on her face. Her dark face
His big bright eyes blinked at the astonished second brother Hou Dehai. The bodyguards next to him were all at a loss. Especially Ge Long, who led Zhang Xiaolong in, was gnashing his teeth secretly. He had no idea what was going on.
What's going on.
"Xiaolong, how have you been these past few years?" Hou Ying asked softly with her head buried in his shoulder.
"Okay, I'm fine." Zhang Xiaolong choked and said, "Xiaoying, I've been thinking about you all the time for the past five years. I took 'Golden Eyes' to the Holy Mountain to see you every day. I lived a life that was worse than death... You left
Later, old man Zao also left one after another. He asked me to come to Spring City. Before leaving, I complied with his last wish and buried him in front of the gong stone on the top of the holy mountain, with his head facing east and feet facing west. He said that this would help
Guarantee that everything will be safe for me. Xiaoying, did you know that the old man hinted before he died that we might meet again in this life? I didn’t believe it at all at the time. How could we meet again after people are dead? But
Unexpectedly, what he said turned out to be true. Now I finally understand that the bad old man is so awesome that I miss him a little. Xiaoying, would you go back with me to see him?"
Zhang Xiaolong only had the joy of seeing Hou Ying in his mind, and he kept talking about his longing and pain for the past five years, completely ignoring others and losing his mind. Hou Yingcai's slight greeting made him tell all his life story.
.
Hou Ying is an extremely smart woman. She heard her adoptive father Hou Jun talk about the magic fortune teller Zhang Tiansheng many times, and was also ordered to come to contact Zhang Xiaolong. Although she had good intentions, she did not know Zhang Xiaolong very well. When the other party saw her
When her eyes were wet, she understood that the other party had recognized the wrong person. But she did not expect that the woman named Xiaoying who was also her name was actually dead. Hou Ying guessed that the dead Xiaoying looked exactly like herself.
"There are such coincidences in the world. Dad must have hidden many things from me. The divine fortune teller Zhang Tiansheng is so powerful. It seems that Zhang Xiaolong is not as ordinary as he seems on the surface?" Hou Dehai also saw it, and he did not stop Zhang Xiaolong from accounting for it.
His sister was cheap. After listening to Zhang Xiaolong's heartfelt words, he was thinking about what was going to happen in the future.
"Xiaolong, who is Jintong?" Hou Ying did not answer his question, but asked again.
Zhang Xiaolong was stunned, and his numb nerves suddenly came to his senses. He pushed Hou Ying away suddenly, stared at her blankly for a long time, wiped his face with his hands, and then realized the truth. Hou Ying handed her a tissue.
, Zhang Xiaolong did not refuse, took it and wiped his face, saying: "I'm sorry, I was too excited just now. But you and she look really similar, with similar height and age. The only difference is that you have a
Xiaoying doesn’t have a mole. I didn’t mean to offend you.”
"Zhang Xiaolong, you are really tired of living. You dare to use excuses to take advantage of the third lady." The black-clothed bodyguard behind Hou Ying took out a pistol, and the black muzzle immediately pointed at Zhang Xiaolong's head, looking angry.
They were rushing. At first, the two did not stop because Hou Dehai raised his hand to stop them. At that time, seeing the two hugging each other and having a warm conversation, the bodyguard also thought that Zhang Xiaolong and Hou Ying were old friends who had not seen each other for many years. But...
Zhang Xiaolong was not angry, nor was he afraid at all. He just stared at the bodyguard coldly. At this time, Hou Ying shouted: "Liu Chao, don't be rude."
"Miss, he..."
"Put the gun away." Hou Ying shouted again calmly. The bodyguard who called Liu Chao then put away the gun, but the other man in black who was also standing with him did not make any move. Bystanders clearly knew that
The bodyguard named Liu Chao supports Hou Ying like a believer facing a saint. It can also be said to be a different kind of secret love. He has good abilities and a bit of background, so he has the opportunity to follow Hou Ying and serve attentively at any time.
, and the other bodyguard with him is Qingzhe Ziqing, who only respects his master. After seeing the situation in front of him, he will not act like a clown.
"Jin Tong is a monkey that Xiaoying and I adopted when we were ten years old. He is very humane and is as tall as an ordinary person. Even ordinary wild animals cannot do anything to him." Zhang Xiaolong ignored the others and murmured to himself,
"Jin Tong also has extremely deep feelings for Xiaoying. After I left, I asked him to stay in the Holy Mountain. If anyone wants to touch the graves of Xiaoying and Old Man Zao, they will die miserably."
"Miss Hou, I admitted the wrong person just now and accidentally took advantage of you, but I unknowingly revealed my secret. In the words of a bad old man, this has already revealed the secret. I only hope that Miss Hou
Don’t spread rumors to everyone sitting here, otherwise...you will be punished by God." Zhang Xiaolong looked at Hou Ying and said solemnly.
"Don't worry, we don't dare to spread Mr. Zhang's affairs at will." Hou Ying and her second brother Hou Dehai looked at each other, sat down generously, pointed to the sofa and said: "Xiaolong, you also sit down, I don't worry about what happened just now.
, you don’t have to think too much, I’ll have something to do later, now let’s talk about the black iron wine.”
Zhang Xiaolong calmed down, nodded and sat down. He hadn't paid much attention to Hou Dehai since he came in. Only then did he look at the sinister-looking man. There really are servants for every kind of master. Glenn gave
Zhang Xiaolong was already feeling very gloomy. Hou Dehai looked very shrewd with his eagle eyes and hooked nose. He was estimated to be in his twenties and seventies. He was dressed in chic and noble clothes and had the attitude of a rich man. On the contrary, Hou Ying was dressed in all kinds of clothes.
You can see women dressed casually everywhere on the street, looking approachable and friendly.
"Landlord, I heard that you don't like to hear people call you by your real name, so I'd better call you landlord." Hou Ying was about to speak, when Hou Dehai picked up a bottle of Bordeaux fine chateau red wine on the table and poured a glass to it.
In front of Zhang Xiaolong, his gestures were elegant, he held up the wine glass in his left hand and shook it slightly, saying: "Landlord, you are Mr. Zhang's disciple. Third sister asked you to manage the security of the wine. Logically speaking, I shouldn't interfere, but Black Iron Wine
I also have 30% of the shares, and the security work is the most important part of the entire Black Iron Wine, because the people who come to consume are either rich or noble, and everyone has a family background. Sometimes it is normal to make small troubles.
, and at this time, we have to rely on the wine manager and the people in the security department to coordinate and deal with it, so... I still pay more attention to the new security department manager."
Zhang Xiaolong didn't know what he wanted to say, so he looked at him and listened quietly. Hou Ying also sat there silently. She naturally knew what her second brother wanted to say, but it was hard for her to express her position before the other person finished speaking.
"certainly."
Hou Dedao smiled and said: "I don't doubt your ability, but Black Iron Wine has fifty security guards, who are on duty in two shifts. These people are all arrogant and domineering. I'm afraid you won't be able to suppress them when you are new here.
, so I want Glenn to assist you in joint management, and you should act as his deputy. I wonder what you think, landlord? Third sister, do you have any objections to my arrangement like this?"
"I have no objection. Whatever the second brother says is fine." Hou Yingtian smiled quietly and looked at Zhang Xiaolong, "Xiaolong, what do you think?"
"I?"
"Of course I have no problem. But..."
Zhang Xiaolong glanced at the two of them, and was particularly kind to Hou Ying calling him Xiaolong. From Hou Dehai's words, he also saw that Hou Dehai should be targeting Hou Ying. After all, Hou Ying was not his biological sister. If the two were fighting secretly, Zhang Xiaolong
Naturally, he wanted to help Hou Ying. No matter what, he had already developed a strong interest in Hou Ying. It could be said that she and the dead Zhang Ying were regarded as the same person. In fact, the two looked almost exactly the same. Zhang Xiaolong thought, the world is different.
There may be such a coincidence. Zhang Ying was buried by his own hands, so it is naturally impossible to resurrect him. However, Hou Ying looks so similar to him, so the two should be somewhat related. So no matter what happens, Zhang Xiaolong will always stand by Hou Ying.
Ying's side.
Zhang Xiaolong is a person who is good at figuring out other people's hearts. This is a habit he honed over the years while catching wild beasts in the holy mountains of Northeast China. He has something in common with the quiet Hou Ying. He turned his head and said humbly: "I don't understand either.
Yes, I can just be a security guard. To be honest, I don’t have much experience in management. I’m used to being a loner. If you ask me to be a manager, I won’t be able to do it. Don’t mess things up then.
Okay. Besides, I am a relatively mediocre person. I just want to find a stable job so that I don't starve to death. I have never thought about reaching the sky in one step. If Miss Hou doesn't mind, I really want to stay with you as a bodyguard or something.
"
"oh."
Hou Ying and Hou Dehai were both startled at the same time.
When Hou Ying met Zhang Xiaolong's eyes, she could feel the sincerity coming from the heart. She should want to be good to herself.
