The scenery of Jiangzhou at night is very beautiful, especially close to the river, where you can see the night view of the entire city reflected on the river.
The night breeze is also very comfortable.
The restaurant where we eat is right next to the river. As soon as we look at it, we can see the river surface rippled by the wind and sparkling.
Ruan Xing slept all afternoon and was not very hungry. She was full without eating much. Seeing this, Zhou Cishen ordered another dessert for her.
Ruan Xingwan said: "I can't eat anymore."
"If you eat so much, you will be hungry at night."
Zhou Cishen pushed the dessert in front of her and said, "Eat quickly, otherwise you won't even gain one kilogram, let alone five kilograms."
"...That's what you said yourself, it has nothing to do with me!"
Zhou Cishen's lips curled up: "Yes, that's what I said."
Ruan Xingwan was a little exhausted, but still couldn't eat anymore, so he packed up the desserts and prepared to take them back to the hotel to eat when he was hungry.
Zhou Cishen didn't say anything.
After eating, we walked along the riverside for a while, and Ruan Xingwan lay lazily on the railing to enjoy the breeze.
Zhou Cishen said: "What's wrong?"
"My legs are weak and I have no strength."
I obviously slept all day and didn't do anything. I don't know why I just feel tired.
Zhou Cishen turned around, turned his back to her and squatted down: "Come up."
Ruan Xingwan looked around and saw that there were many people around, so she whispered: "What are you doing?"
"Aren't you weak? I will carry you."
"I... just want to rest for a while. It's not to the point where I can't walk anymore."
Zhou Cishen turned around and pulled her arm.
Ruan Xingwan was unprepared and fell directly on his back.
Zhou Cishen stood up with her on his back: "It would have been better if it had been like this."
Ruan Xingwan: "..."
Although there were many people around, most of them were shopping and walking, and no one was carrying them like they were, so many people cast ambiguous glances.
Ruan Xingwan buried her head on his shoulder and whispered: "Go back to the hotel, go back to the hotel."
"You're not going to walk anymore?"
"Is this me walking?"
The smile on Zhou Cishen's lips widened and he carried her towards the hotel.
It's about ten minutes' walk from here to the hotel.
As we get closer to the hotel, there are fewer people around.
Ruan Xingwan looked at their long shadows under the street lamp and suddenly said: "Zhou Cishen."
"Um?"
"Tell me, what was the truth twenty years ago?"
When her mother's body was discovered, Zhou Cishen once told her that those who helped Lin Zhi'an complete the plan twenty years ago and those who caused Zhou Junnian's car accident were probably the same group of people.
Before coming to Jiangzhou, she always thought that everything might be done by the Jiang family.
But I don’t know why, but now this feeling is not so strong.
Through getting along with Jiang Yuan and Jiang Shanghan, and what they said.
Her intuition told her that they probably didn't bother to do such a thing.
Whether it's twenty years ago or twenty years later.
It seems that the people of the Jiang family are not as heinous as imagined.
Zhou Cishen said calmly: "No matter what it is, it won't make people happy."
"Then what role do you think the Jiang family played in what happened twenty years ago?"
"It won't be a positive role."
"Why."
"No one from the Jiang family can leave Jiangzhou in their lifetime.
But what happened twenty years ago, they were involved in.
There was a fire in Lin's house, Lin Zhi'an stole the house and occupied the magpie's nest, and Zhou Junnian was paralyzed in a car accident.
Besides that, did anything good happen?"
Ruan Xingwan opened his mouth, but couldn't answer for a while.
Zhou Cishen added: "Maybe the Jiang family is not the mastermind behind the scenes, but these things must be inextricably related to them."
"But I still can't figure out a problem."
Zhou Cishen said: "I can't figure this out either.
However, there should be an answer soon."
That is, the Jiang family clearly cannot leave Jiangzhou, but why do they not hesitate to get involved in these things in Nancheng?
After returning to the hotel, Ruan Xingwan only took a shower after leaving the house. After a brief wash, he lay on the bed, turned on his fully charged mobile phone, and reported to Nancheng that he was safe.
When Pei Shanshan received her call, she couldn't even breathe: "I was scared to death these two days when you were missing. Fortunately, Mr. Zhou called me this morning."
When Ruan Xingwan heard this, he paused and looked outside the bedroom: "Did he call you?"
"You're not calling me, right? Daniel is also sending people to look for you, so he simply said that we don't have to look for you anymore."
Pei Shanshan asked again, "Xingxing, what happened? Why did you suddenly disappear from the hospital?"
Ruan Xingwan pursed her lips lightly: "It was Jiang Shanghan's people who took me away."
"Jiang Shanghan, is that monster that eats people without spitting out their bones?
How about it? Does it have a green face and fangs, and is it scary?
He didn't do anything to you, right?"
Ruan Xingwan smiled: "No, I saw him. He is completely different from the rumors. He looks..."
Thinking of the figure he saw at the door that day, something flashed through Ruan Xingwan's mind, but he couldn't catch it.
Pei Shanshan wondered: "Could he be a handsome guy?"
"It's really handsome."
"How handsome, do you have Commander-in-Chief Zhou?"
Ruan Xingwan paused while holding the phone, and the scene when he first saw Jiang Shanghan came to mind again.
She finally knew what was happening in that flash.
After a few seconds of silence, Ruan Xingwan said again: "Yes."
Pei Shanshan doesn't really believe it: "Is it true?"
"Well, almost."
Pei Shanshan finally exclaimed: "Oh my God! There are actually people in this world who are as handsome as Mr. Zhou! Ahhhh, I want to meet him too, can you secretly take a picture of me?"
Ruan Xingwan: "...not very capable."
At this time, Daniel's voice came from the phone: "I'm still here, are you going a little too far?"
Pei Shanshan retorted: "That's true. Although Mr. Zhou's mouth is a bit rough, his face is very punchable, okay?
When he doesn’t talk, can he just improve his appearance?”
Ruan Xingwan's lips raised into a smile when he heard this, and when he raised his eyes, he saw the man leaning on the door frame at some point.
Ruan Xingwan: "..."
She coughed twice: "Shanshan, actually I think..."
Pei Shanshan sighed: "Mr. Zhou is a good person, but it's a pity that he has a mouth."
Zhou Cishen walked over with long legs.
Ruan Xingwan quickly hung up the phone and tucked it under the quilt, looking out the window calmly, trying to pretend that nothing happened.
As Zhou Cishen approached step by step, Ruan Xingwan felt that the temperature in the room had dropped a bit, and she was a little breathless due to his aura.
She decided to take the initiative and said, "Shanshan was just joking, she was praising you."
Zhou Cishen stood in front of her: "I heard it.
but--"
Zhou Cishen said, holding her wrist and pressing her into the mattress, his dark eyes narrowed dangerously: "What do you mean, almost?"
