Someone's eyes widened in realization. His heart was beating hard because of his words. "What kind of right is this? It's not like you said anything!"
"It's just a matter of time." He said it matter-of-factly with a frivolous look on his face.
"Time? Haha, do you believe in this thing? It can change a lot of things, but I don't believe it." She hummed in disapproval.
Nan Muli was calm and calm, "In this case, I have no choice but to strike first."
Well?
"What are you doing?" She screamed with trembling heart as he picked her up without warning.
"Do what I have to do." He smiled.
"I don't want it, please put me down quickly!" She blushed and beat his chest.
"Okay, I'll let you down now."
Then, her body came into contact with the soft mattress. After laying her down, his strong body also pressed down on her.
She was stunned for a moment, and whispered in a somewhat embarrassed voice: "You, why are you pressing me down?" She pressed the photo album in her hand against him and shouted.
"Pressing you, nothing but..." biting her ear, his handsome face was extremely charming, and he breathed out warm breath ambiguously into her eardrum.
Seeing his malicious smile and evil eyes, her pretty face was covered with red clouds, which were hot and red. She couldn't tell whether it was blushing from shame or anger. She forcefully told herself that this must be anger.
Red.
Even if God knows and earth knows, he knows and she knows that the blushing component is the majority, and it definitely accounts for 99.9% -
"I warn you not to mess around..."
"Of course, I am a gentleman."
"You, you have the nerve to call me a gentleman, why are you touching others with your hands..."
"I bumped into it accidentally..."
"Liar! Don't disturb my parents, and this is my brother's room!"
"Shh, I know it all." The nervous voice was the loudest one. He simply blocked her mouth with a kiss. The long and lingering kiss made her dizzy and confused, and she couldn't be confused.
say.
In an instant, the struggling person became quiet, and her misty eyes looked into his eyes that were as deep as the night. There was a confusing and magical charm there, which made her confused and fascinated.
Gently, with a movement that would not disturb her, he moved her little hand away, and gently pulled away the photo album she was holding tightly.
Just as Nan Muli put the photo album next to him, she suddenly pushed against him and hit his tight body, making him groan in pain and pleasure. His heart and body trembled, and the photo album fell from his hand to the floor.
When she opened the photo, a photo floated down from the inside, landing squarely on her chest.
The ambiguity had a moment of soothing respite.
Unable to notice the coldness on his chest, Xia Baoer picked it up and glanced at it casually. His crescent-shaped eyebrows suddenly wrinkled slightly.
"What's wrong?" Nan Muli asked worriedly when he saw how intently she looked.
Shaking her head, she did not answer immediately. She stared at her brother's photo! But who is this man in the photo with her brother?
He's not Gu Xiangdong, nor is he his colleague from the police station or his friend or classmate? Since it can be put in his brother's photo album and the photo is still so new, she must know him.
Seeing that she kept staring at the photo without letting go, Nan Muli was dissatisfied with the diversion of her attention and wanted to take the photo away.
"Don't move, please wait a moment." She shouted to stop her, her tone was very serious.
Nan Muli was stunned for a moment and frowned in confusion.
Perhaps her eyes and tone were serious, so she didn't fight for it anymore.
Staring at the photo thoughtfully, Xia Baoer felt that the facial features of the man in the photo seemed familiar. Unfortunately, he was wearing sunglasses, which covered his most important facial features. For a moment, she couldn't remember where she had seen him.
.
Observing carefully, you can see that the man's hand is on his brother's shoulder. The posture of the two of them is very close, their smiles are bright, and they seem to be very...happy.
"What are you looking at so enchantedly?" Nan Muli asked displeasedly as he came closer. Unexpectedly, she ignored her and looked so enchanted.
Xia Baoer felt very weird about the thoughts she described.
How could two men feel a sense of... happiness when they stood together? But that's how she felt.
Who is this man? Her brother likes to take her out, so she has basically seen and known all of his close classmates and friends. Moreover, the facial features of this strange man also feel quite familiar to her.
This tall man's face looks perfect in profile and makes people feel mysterious.
"What are you looking at?" Seeing that she remained silent and ignored him, Nan Muli was a little confused.
After coming back to her senses, she raised her eyes to look at him and said softly: "I'm not looking at anything, it's my brother's photo."
"His photos make you so absorbed in looking at them?"
Turning her head, she couldn't help but smile a little when she saw the oblivious look on his face.
This man, and even his brother, made him feel unreasonable jealousy. She glanced at him angrily, and she explained feebly: "Where did you think of it? I just thought that the person next to my brother looked familiar, but for a moment I thought
Why are you looking at it so intently when you can't get up? Why do you think we, brother and sister, have a forbidden love?"
There was an embarrassment on his face, and he pursed his lips with a little awkward hum. His big hand casually took the photo in her hand and glanced at it. Suddenly, Nan Muli's face suddenly hardened, his eyes were deep and his eyebrows were furrowed.
How could the person in this photo... be him?
Seeing his face change and his expression becoming abnormal for a moment, Xia Baoer beside him couldn't help but worry and asked curiously: "What's wrong?"
The photo in his hand tightened, and Nan Muli's expression suddenly calmed down. He took the photo aside and responded calmly: "It's nothing."
"Nothing? Then why does your expression look weird?" She frowned and pointed.
"It's really nothing." He kissed her smooth forehead and said, "It's very late, go to bed."
"Uh." When he said this, she was even more surprised.
But she really didn't know what it was, so she didn't dare to make random guesses. She was stunned for a moment.
Seeing her dazed look, he raised his lips evilly and teased with red eyes: "Are you looking for some excuse to stay and sleep with me?"
Her face turned red, and she hummed shyly: "It's a beautiful idea, who wants to sleep with you?"
He wasn't angry either, he smiled slightly, turned over and pulled her up, and vaguely patted her perfect buttocks, naughty.
Seeing this made Xia Baoer flustered for a while: "It's already very late. I'm going to take a shower. You should go to bed early."
Xia Baoer left the room in a daze and was already lying on the bed. He felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't explain why.
late at night
Lying on the bed, Nan Muli held the photo in his hand and looked at it thoughtfully.
After a long while, he took out his mobile phone and made a call.
"Yun Xiu, help me check if there are any people around my adoptive father who have not been around. Also, help me pay attention to whether there is any relationship or contact between Xia Haoxiang and Xiao Si."
Yes, the person she saw in the photo just now was Xiao Si.
But he couldn't figure out why there was a photo of the two of them in this photo album.
***……
The next morning
After getting up, they had breakfast together before Nan Muli left to go to work.
Because she didn't have a job, she was still staying in bed at this time. When she left, Nan Muli didn't wake her from her peaceful sleep.
When it was almost ten o'clock, Xia Baoer lazily got up from the bed.
"Good morning, my lord and mother."
Xia's mother gave her daughter a disdainful look and said, "Morning? You are such a lazy idiot and you don't even look at what time it is, so you still have the nerve to say it."
"You don't have to go to work, it would be nice to sleep until you wake up naturally." She walked to the dining table and sat down with a disapproving smile, her little face full of smiles.
Seeing her like this, Xia's mother could only pinch her pink face with resentment and said nothing.
"It doesn't matter if you sleep a little longer, just sleep well." Unlike his wife, Xia's father said with a smile: "Eat breakfast quickly, and go out with dad after eating."
"Huh? Are you going to do something?" She asked her father in confusion while drinking fresh milk.
"Have you forgotten? Are we going to see the fish farm today? You still support me so righteously."
"Yes, I almost forgot about it." After hearing her father's words, Xia Baoer smiled innocently, her eyes rolled, and she suddenly thought of something: "Well, hasn't he gotten up yet?"
"Hmph, you think he is as lazy as you. He got up early and went to work." Xia's mother rolled her eyes again.
She curled her lips, then suddenly changed the subject and asked, "The sun is so wet. Why haven't you gone to the store yet?"
"I'll join you later. You two, father and daughter, are confused when doing things. How can you do it without my control?"
Hearing this, the father and daughter looked at each other in tacit understanding, smiled, and wisely did not make any rebuttal.
The place they headed to was a somewhat remote suburb, a place called Zhongguancun.
This place is surrounded by lush trees and green water. There is no smell of car exhaust in the air, but instead there is a faint scent of grass and the earthy smell of the fields.
Suddenly, her heart felt peaceful. She listened carefully and looked at a large oil field with a calm mind. It was clear and clean, completely returning to the purity of nature. She fell in love with the environment here at the first sight.
Forget the busyness of the city, the tranquility here is very suitable for cultivating the body and mind.
The family also visited the fish farm and were very satisfied with everything here.
After looking at it, they decided. Xia's father and his old friend stayed to discuss some relevant details with the head of the household. They mother and daughter returned to the city together first, preparing to transfer money to the bank.
"I never expected that after so many years of hard work, I would finally return to my hometown. But it feels good to be my own boss." Xia Baoer said with emotion.
"What kind of boss is this? Do you have any part in it?" Xia's mother on the other side complained.
Hearing this, she said with a smile, "What's yours is mine. The Lord said it is my dowry."
Xia's mother sneered angrily, "How dare you get married and get a few fish as dowry?"
"Why not? Fish is a good thing, with high nutritional value, beneficial to the brain and good for the brain." She said confidently.
"You guys, your thoughts are really shabby, and you are not afraid of being laughed at."
"What's so funny? I want to marry or not." Now she has a new goal, to work hard and become a practical and creative farmer. In the future, she will expand the agricultural market and spread her own products to every corner.
Hey, her ideals are great!
"I think the environment there is really good. It's surrounded by mountains and rivers. It would be nice to buy a house there. Didn't you say you don't like the smell of gasoline?"
"It's good, but it's too far from the city and the transportation is inconvenient. It will take a lot of time to go back and forth."
"Buying a car is just a matter of solving the problem."
"Do you think money is shot from the sky with a gun?" They were originally from a small family, and they had just enough savings to live on, and they invested the little spare money they had left.
"It's not very expensive for home use. I'll buy it." He patted his chest generously and said with great pride.
"Just you? You're a homeless person. You'd better keep your little money for yourself."
"You don't have to worry about this." Someone guaranteed that she would have enough food and clothing, and she could help him.
As the mother and daughter talked, they arrived at the door of the bank and saw that there were quite a lot of people doing business.
I went to get the queue number first, and mother and daughter waited together in the lobby.
When they were called, Xia's mother walked towards the counter.
Suddenly, there was a commotion at the door of the bank, followed by a loud shout, and then someone screamed in terror.
What happened? The confused people in the hall turned to look around. They saw a group of heavily armed men wearing hats and masks rushing in from the outside. They held black firearms in their raised hands.
Everyone took a breath, panicked and stunned.
"Don't move, everyone, raise your hands and squat down!" The classic movie lines were vividly rehearsed from the mouths of those people.
Everyone panicked and screamed repeatedly. The originally quiet hall suddenly became a mess like ants exploding in a pot.
Xia Baoer was still stunned, as the scene in front of him seemed a little... strange.
"Don't move! Squat down, hurry up!"
"Ah, it's been robbed, ah ah..." Suddenly, someone couldn't bear the fear and ran up screaming, rushing towards the door.
"Bang——" A shocking gunshot successfully stopped the woman and silenced the turbulent crowd for an instant.
Xia Baoer, who was still in a daze, finally understood what was going on. Her face turned pale with fright. Her first thought was to rush to her mother's side, lower her body and protect her.
A gangster came toward them with a fierce look. Because his mother was so good at the window, he became a target. His heart tightened, and Xia Baoer was frightened and horrified, but he did not dare to act rashly.
At this moment, the second gunshot rang out.
"Ah, ah -" Following the gunshot, a shrill scream echoed throughout the hall.
Everyone looked at this bloody scene, their bodies stiffened, their faces turned pale with fear, their whole bodies were cold, and they did not dare to breathe anymore.
"Damn it! You think you dare to call the police? This is what will happen. Please be honest?" A gangster stood in front of them, holding a gun, and said to the people in the bank.
Holding his trembling mother with one hand, Xia Baoer couldn't help but look up secretly.
"What are you looking at! You're looking for death!" Sensing her gaze, the gangster glared at her fiercely and pointed his gun at her head, "One more shot and I'll kill you."
