After leaving the door of the unit, Chi Xiaowan stopped the car with her hand, got into the car, told the driver the address, and looked out the window with a quiet and free expression.
"Xiaowan, are you really okay?" Sang Xinrou asked cautiously, "Did you have a fight with Sima?"
"No." Chi Xiaowan said lightly, still looking out the window, not knowing what to think. The rain outside the window had stopped, but it was very cold. The sky was gloomy and heavy, and it seemed that water could be squeezed out at any time. The rain
Hidden behind the clouds, accumulating loneliness and helplessness.
Sang Xinrou hesitated for a moment and did not dare to ask further. Chi Xiaowan looked quite far away. Although she was right in front of him, she was far away and out of reach.
When we arrived at the old site, we got off the car, paid, and Chi Xiaowan took the lead into the old site.
"Uncle Ouyang." He shouted to the person who came up to him. There was no sadness or helplessness in his tone, only a familiar gentleness and calmness. "Are you feeling better?"
Ouyang Ruixiang seemed to be much better, with a kind face, and the wound on his head was still covered with gauze. He was sitting on a chair next to the table with a cup of steaming tea. When he saw Chi Xiaowan, he smiled and said, "Okay
I heard from Xiaomin that you were a little uncomfortable. I was really sorry for causing you to suffer that day, but you are fine now."
Chi Xiaowan smiled nonchalantly and greeted Ouyang Qing who was standing behind him, as usual, with a light tone and peaceful demeanor, as if nothing had happened. "Hello Ouyang Qing, I need your help today.
I need some news that can be released to the outside world."
"I heard from Xiaomin that you went back to work today." Ouyang Qing had a smile on his face. When he faced Chi Xiaowan, he could never be angry. This girl had already lived in his house from the first sight.
In my heart, I cannot blaspheme.
"Where is my brother? Why haven't I seen him?" Chi Xiaowan smiled and sat down at the table.
"He's down there." Ouyang Qing poured a glass of water and handed it to Chi Xiaowan.
"That's just right, I want to go down and have a look." Chi Xiaowan stood up with a faint smile, and said slowly to Ouyang Qing, who was walking side by side with her, "How is the situation inside now?
?Is there still nothing in that painting?”
"Yes." Ouyang Qing nodded, looked at Sang Xinrou who was following behind, and lowered his voice and said, "Dad is worried about this matter. He feels it is very strange. However, since the incident with Hongzhu, Dad's
My mood seems to be back to much the same as before, my mood has become much more stable, and I am no longer obsessed, but my curiosity and enthusiasm for the old site have not diminished at all.”
A faint smile flashed across Chi Xiaowan's lips, looking at everything familiar in the old site. The painting was still on the wall, but there was nothing left, including the traces of tears, it was just a piece of paper with no content. Looking at that
Chi Xiaowan frowned slightly as he looked at the painting, wondering what exactly happened that night.
"Xiaowan, you're here." Chi Xiaomin raised his head and saw Chi Xiaowan, and greeted him with a smile, "Look, you're still not very energetic. I told you, don't be too anxious to go back to work, is that something?
Gao Yuan is making things difficult for you with your work again? Tell my brother and I will take care of her."
"No, very good, this is also part of the job." Chi Xiaowan said casually, walked to the wall and looked at the piece of paper. It was really strange. Now on it, even the faint traces of tears could not be seen.
, "Brother, this painting is really strange. How can you say that there is nothing without it? Are there any other changes?"
"The biggest change comes from Professor Ouyang. He almost doesn't get angry anymore. Haha." Chi Xiaomin joked with a smile, "Ouyang Qing also asked me what happened these days. It's rare that his father can speak gently and no longer be persistent. Here, although the curiosity is still there, the enthusiasm is still there.”
Where is the red candle? Chi Xiaowan suddenly thought, vaguely remembering something.
It was so busy that it was almost noon. Chi Xiaomin and his party came up from below. Sang Xinrou suggested, "Let's go to a home-cooked restaurant. We haven't been there for a long time."
"Okay." Chi Xiaomin was the first to say. His attention was more focused on Chi Xiaowan. As for Sang Xinrou, he rarely said a few words when he got downstairs. He just asked politely about Lu Yurong. As for the situation, knowing that everything is fine with him now, I won’t say anything more.
"Xiaowan, your brother is a little strange. It seems-" Sang Xinrou said softly to Chi Xiaowan. The two of them walked in front. When they got outside, they saw a beautiful new black car parked outside. They were proud. Stopped there, "Hey, this car is so beautiful. Whose car does it belong to?"
"It should be my brother's." Chi Xiaowan said with a smile, "It was sent by an old friend of my brother's. He likes my brother very much, so he probably gave it to him as a gift."
Chi Xiaomin did not deny it. Looking at the beautiful car, he knew that it was sent by his biological father. There was someone beside the car who saw him coming up. He came over and respectfully handed over the key, then turned and left.
"No way, Chi Xiaomin, you are so awesome. When did you have such a rich relative?!" Ouyang Qing said in surprise, "This car costs hundreds of thousands, right? If it is imported, it will be more expensive. .You are such a strange character."
"Strange character?!" Chi Xiaomin laughed, with a hurt expression in his eyes, "Strange character, the character that everyone marvels at is a character with a story. In fact, being a character with a story is extremely boring. How can it be better? Being a simple person can lead a happy and peaceful life, but I hope it can be simpler and more boring."
Ouyang Qing didn't understand what he said, but he didn't ask any more questions.
Everyone got in the car. The car still smelled like a new car and leather. Chi Xiaomin opened the windows, including the sunroof. He didn't like the stuffy smell.
"Brother, I want to eat grapes." As the car was driving, Chi Xiaowan suddenly saw a grape seller on the roadside and immediately said, this should be the first crop of grapes and the taste should be the best.
"Okay." Chi Xiaomin immediately stopped the car, got out of the car and bought some grapes. He brought them back and handed them to Chi Xiaowan, "We will wash them at the restaurant and eat them again."
Chi Xiaowan nodded and saw a familiar car driving by. The people in the car looked lightly across her face. She looked away, lowered her head, and tears fell on the grapes. She was quiet and lonely, and no one noticed. She counted the grapes unconsciously, then raised her head, with a faint smile on her face, and said quietly: "Brother, there are so many grapes in this bunch, there are nearly forty."
"Really?" Chi Xiaomin smiled, "This is the most complete and mature one in the series."
When we arrived at the home-cooked restaurant, it was very quiet and the door was ajar.
"Little boss—" Sang Xinrou greeted happily, "Where have you gone?!"
"Here we are." The little old man walked out of the kitchen with a smile, still holding the dishes in his hand, and said with a smile, "When I woke up this morning, my eyelids kept twitching. Haha, I thought to myself, I don't know which little girl wants to I'm here. It's probably because the little fat girl wants to eat the food I cooked. Come and sit down. I bought fresh vegetables with a smile today and made some specialties for you to eat."
"Okay." Sang Xinrou approached the little old man and said loudly and mysteriously, "Little boss, you look inconspicuous, but you are very carefree. Tell me, how did you deceive my aunt? I just know.
It turns out that my aunt has been dating you."
The young boss smiled and said, "This is a secret, private, and not to be shared with anyone."
Everyone looked at each other and sat down at the table. The little boss returned to the kitchen and chatted with a few people outside while cooking. The aroma of the food gradually wafted out, arousing everyone's appetite.
"Xiao Wan, do you have time?" The little boss inside suddenly shouted as if unintentionally, "Come here and help me. This little fat girl doesn't know how to do these jobs. I heard that at home she is just a hand to provide food and clothing.
As for the guy who opens his mouth, you are better off."
"Little boss, did you do this on purpose?!" Sang Xinrou blushed and glanced at Chi Xiaomin secretly. His eyes were always on Chi Xiaowan and not on her.
Chi Xiaowan stood up and walked into the kitchen.
"Here, break some eggs for me." The little boss handed over an empty bowl, "I'll scramble some eggs for you to eat. The simpler it is, the better the taste will be."
Chi Xiaowan knew that when he called her in, it was definitely not as simple as cracking a few eggs. There must be something else, and it must be related to Sima. She didn't say much, took the empty bowl, quietly cracked a few eggs in, and then
Stir quietly.
"Are you and Sima separated?" the little boss asked softly.
Chi Xiaowan paused slightly, then continued to stir the eggs, and nodded slightly.
"He is a good man, he just came here." The little boss said softly, "He just left. He didn't want to hurt you. He said that Yi'er's soul might come back, but if it attaches to you, you will be the same as not being able to hurt you."
existence, so he has to give up on you."
Chi Xiaowan quietly stirred the eggs and said calmly: "If he wants Yi'er to come back, I am the only choice. If he takes care of me, Yi'er will never come back. I am the only body that Yi'er can attach to.
"
"Xiao Wan——" The little boss was stunned for a moment.
"I need your help." Chi Xiaowan stopped what he was doing and looked at the little boss quietly, "You and Sima are so familiar with each other, and I heard Sang Yue say that you are actually a prophetic person. I hope
You can help me find Yi'er's soul. I want to use my body to call Yi'er back. I am also a lover of Sima, so I am willing."
"Xiao Wan -" the little boss looked at Chi Xiaowan and felt sad, "But, just like the daughter of the sea, in that long-ago story, you will lose yourself and you will no longer exist."
"But I still love him. This is my only happiness." Chi Xiaowan smiled faintly, "I hope that at the moment when my life ends, just like the afterlife, I can love her well with no memory. In fact, I
You can think that maybe Yi'er is my previous life, I am her present life, and my body and her soul are our next life. Thinking like this, but you still love someone, as long as you love, you don't care about so many things.
"
The little boss said nothing.
"You can think about it, it would be best if you are willing to help me." Chi Xiaowan said softly, "If it is inconvenient for you to help me, I will not embarrass you, but life is my own, and how I deal with it is up to me.
My freedom, I can terminate my life at any time, because even without your help, I can still try to get close to Yi'er's soul. That night, I really don't know what happened, but as long as there is that one time
, there will definitely be another time. I must find Yier, and I must be happy with Sima."
"Xiao Wan -" Chi Xiaomin shouted loudly outside, "Are you ready? Little boss, we are here to eat, not to work. Don't always ask my Xiao Wan to help. Be careful that I don't give you money."
"Okay. Haha!" The little boss laughed loudly, and then lowered his voice, "Xiaowan, your brother seems to like you a little. The fact that he is not your biological brother does not seem to affect him. Haha, he is a smart man.
A man who doesn’t fight reality.”
Chi Xiaowan stared at the little boss and asked doubtfully: "How do you know about this?"
The little boss smiled and said, "Didn't you say that I am a foresighted person? Apart from Yi'er and Sima who are already in a mess, I can still know a little bit about other things."
"Are you okay yet?" Chi Xiaomin walked in, looked at the young boss and Chi Xiaowan who were talking, and said with a puzzled look, "What are you two muttering about here? Why do I feel like my eyelids keep twitching?"
?Hmph, are you talking bad about me?!"
"No." Chi Xiaowan smiled, "On the contrary, he is still praising you and saying that you are a smart guy, haha. Okay, the food is ready, let's go eat."
There was a bottle of wine on the table, which was from Yinxiang Restaurant. He stayed there quietly. Chi Xiaowan looked at it with a sudden panic, and a trace of pain flashed in his eyes, but he quickly recovered.
His expression was, "Do you still want to drink?"
"Yes, I just found it on the little boss's table. It hasn't been opened yet. It must taste great. It must have been sent by Sima." Sang Xinrou said happily, "I drank so much wine,
Only the wine from Yinxiang Restaurant is the best."
"What kind of wine can a little girl drink?" Chi Xiaomin glanced at Sang Xinrou and said angrily.
Sang Xinrou was stunned and looked at Chi Xiaomin and Chi Xiaowan, feeling a little embarrassed.
