In the flower shop with a relaxing setting, inside the sweet drink shop, Gu Xiangdong was waving to her.
Nodding, smiling, she sat opposite him.
The atmosphere was a bit weird and unnatural. Fortunately, Gu Xiangdong chose a seat by the window. There was a field of fragrant flowers outside the transparent glass. It also gave them an extra sense of leisure and elegance, so they didn't have to be so stiff.
Sitting quietly on both sides like this, the unnaturalness between the two people eased a lot.
"Say it."
"Baby."
"..." The two people who spoke at the same time quietly closed their mouths.
For the first time, Xia Baoer, who was usually very sharp-tongued, was not able to speak quickly. The corners of his lips trembled several times and he could not utter a single word.
"Are you uncomfortable?" Seeing her dilemma, Gu Xiangdong calmed down more easily.
Xia Baoer moved his body and looked up, and saw his handsome face with a gentle smile. His pair of star-like eyes made people very fond of him. They were sunny but still had the charm of a man.
He is a man who makes girls blush and make their hearts beat. At this time, wisps of sunshine happened to fall on him, which added to his handsome temperament and made him look clear and gentle.
Xia Baoer stared blankly, but when she heard his gentle laughter, she looked away with a warm face.
There was some embarrassment and shyness in their hearts, but the waiter happened to bring them desserts and drinks, helping them smooth over the awkwardness between them.
"Your favorite drink and food before." Rich mousse chocolate cake and burnt wheat scones, as well as grape egg tarts, Italian sandwich bread. With a cup of ginger sugar black tea, she likes it best.
In the past, when nothing happened, she would secretly pull him and coquettishly ask him to queue up to buy something for her. She didn't know how long he had been waiting in line just now to occupy his current position.
Her long eyelashes flashed, she raised her head, her voice was soft and moist, and her smile was sweet.
"Thank you, Brother Gu. I'm not welcome."
"Eat." Gu Xiangdong's heart warmed, and there was a hint of affection in his eyes. He stretched out his hand to scratch the tip of her nose, but suddenly realized that they were no longer the young couple before.
The big hand in the air made the two of them careful not to touch the memory. She raised her eyebrows, pretended to be disgusted and pushed away his hand, smiling, "Brother Gu, what have you done? If you want to eat, I can get it for you."
Okay." He couldn't help but say, grabbing the egg tart and stuffing it directly into his hand.
Gu Xiangdong smiled sadly and became quiet.
"By the way, don't you have something to tell me?" She asked him as she wiped the remaining dessert from the corner of her mouth.
Putting away the past in his heart, Gu Xiangdong's eyebrows suddenly became much more serious.
"Yes, I investigated and found that your brother knows someone."
"who?"
"A person who is not in our sight, but his relationship with your brother seems a bit... strange." Gu Xiangdong couldn't say what was strange, but it just made people feel a little bit at odds with each other.
Xia Baoer was stunned, feeling strange? It seemed that she also found the photo in the album in her brother's room, which was also very strange.
"What do you find strange about them? Just tell me."
"Your brother's relationship with a man is more than that of friends."
"What did you say!" Xia Baoer stood up immediately, his eyes full of anger. "No matter how you think my brother has become bad, you can't humiliate him like this!"
Gu Xiangdong suddenly panicked, "Baby, I really didn't mean this. I just told you the truth about what I saw. Don't get excited."
Thinking of the photos he saw, Xia Baoer suddenly didn't know what to say and became quiet for a moment.
"Also, what did you find?"
"I found that man taking your brother to and from many places, and..."
"And what? Where did they go in and out? Please finish the sentence at once." It was really annoying that he was procrastinating like this.
"The sound places they went to also went to G Bar."
Xia Baoer knows about the audio place, it is a trading place for buying and selling sex, but what is a g bar?"
Gu Xiangdong's face suddenly turned red uncomfortably when she asked her such a simple question. "That's the gay bar."
"What?" Xia Baoer thought that he heard wrongly, and couldn't help but move forward and asked him sternly, "Did you make a mistake somewhere? My brother and you grew up together, and you
Isn’t it clear that he is a serious man?”
What is this? She was going crazy when she heard it. How could her brother do this...
"I know you have a lot of doubts in your heart, so I can only tell you a few things. At first, your brother entered such a place because of his mission, and then..."
"What happened next! You should tell me quickly1"
"Later... he was polluted by them and became such a person, as you know." Gu Xiangdong replied in a deep voice. When he knew these things, his reaction was even greater than hers. He did nothing but cry and vent.
Besides, he really felt that he no longer believed it.
"It's impossible, I don't believe it! Unless I really see it, I won't believe that there is such a thing." My brother has given up. If this matter is really confirmed, my brother is underground,
It must be even more impossible to rest in peace.
Thinking of this, Xia Baoer's heart ached.
Her brother is her brother, and no one can replace his place in her heart.
"Baby……"
"I suddenly don't want to pursue this matter any further." She lowered her eyes and spoke with a guilty conscience.
Even without looking up, she could tell that Gu Xiangdong was looking at her, hesitant to speak.
"Baby, have you really decided to give up?" Unsure, he could only ask her affectionately. As long as she said no, there was no need for him to pursue it.
Do you want to give up? Do you really want to give up?
She didn't know how to answer Gu Xiangdong's words. This was the innocence she vowed to investigate and give her brother a chance to close her eyes and rest in peace. In the past, she always wanted to find out the matter as soon as possible. But she forgot to think about the world where her brother was.
What happened here was totally unworthy of her.
Her eyes drifted to the man aside, and she felt confused.
"Baby, do you know that man's name?" Gu Xiangdong waited until her mood stabilized a little before he decided to ask her.
After all, it was what she wanted to know most.
Clenching her little hands, she suddenly stood up, "No, I don't want to know, and I don't want to continue." In fact, the answer was in their hearts, but she didn't want to know.
Not bothering to say goodbye to him, Xia Baoer stood up and opened the door in despair and walked out.
"Baby..." Gu Xiangdong ran out after him.
Seeing her walking out of the road in a daze, Gu Xiangdong was so frightened that he quickly pulled her back, "What's wrong? You were fine when you were eating just now. What happened now? What if I accidentally said the wrong thing?"
, Just hit me and scold me." Gu Xiangdong, who was catching up, lowered his body very low.
Maybe, he knows.
Xia Baoer, whose mind was in a mess, ignored him and kept walking his own way.
What was tumbling in her mind were the photos and what Gu Xiangdong said just now. It was really difficult for her to understand, and she didn't know what kind of heart she should answer the words with.
The two of them were walking slowly, one behind the other, and they didn't know when they walked. It felt like there were fewer people around them, and more pedestrians were passing by in a hurry.
"Baby, do you want to go eat something first?" She ran out without eating what I just bought for her. She must be very hungry at this time.
Chewing silently, Xia Baoer did not refuse for a moment, because she was so frightened that she was really hungry.
"Brother Gu." Suddenly, she raised her eyes to look at him and said this softly.
Gu Xiangdong didn't feel very good, but seeing the smell of injury all over her body, he pursed his lips.
After being stunned for a moment, he smiled and said, "Well, I'll be watching you right here."
"I, what does that man look like and what is his name?" Even if it is the last glimmer of hope, she does not want to let it go! She must, must carry on her brother's unfinished mission.
"He... your brother's friend?"
Nodding slowly, she said nothing, but waited patiently for his answer.
"We can't fully grasp his real information. We have checked many regular entry and exit registrations, but none of them belong to that person. After we excluded those people who have registered, there is no such person at all."
Gu Xiangdong answered very seriously. He did not dare to lie to her.
After hearing what Gu Xiangdong said personally, Xia Baoer gritted his teeth, turned his head and ignored him. He didn't know anything. He didn't know anything. Why would he mislead people?
"Baby, I'm sorry, I still haven't traced the person behind the scenes." Looking at her in silence, Gu Xiangdong felt very sad.
He promised her that he would help her find the real culprit. But his identity could only be this way, and it could not be pursued openly, and there was not enough evidence to investigate that man. The important thing is that without his true identity, how could he
What about tracing?
That person must be a very cunning person. How could he be investigated and traced so easily by them?
After exhaling, Xia Baoer's face returned to a little rosy.
She looked at Gu Xiangdong sitting in front of her and frowned slightly, "It's okay, I know you are already trying your best."
When she said this, Gu Xiangdong felt even more uncomfortable.
"Don't worry, I will definitely find the real answer for you! Don't always think about it. Some things are not so easy to be traced after they are deliberately hidden."
"I..." She wanted to give up. Because of her brother, she had missed a lot of things over the years. Because of her brother, sometimes she was unreasonable and became very angry.
But what else can be done? What else can be done about what she and Gu Xiangdong both admitted...
There is actually another most important reason why she doesn't want to.
"Baby? What's wrong with you? Are you not feeling well?" It was obvious that there was nothing that could relieve her bad mood.
"I'm fine, don't worry. If there's nothing else, please take me back first."
"No." Unexpectedly, Gu Xiangdong suddenly stopped in front of her, looked at her with deep eyes, and said...
