The clouds move slowly, the sun sets, the afterglow gradually fades away, and the stars dot the night sky.

Si Chen looked at Shen Xingzhou in front of him, “Are you related to the Mu family?”

Shen Xingzhou's eyes were filled with emotions, and he shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter."

"That's strange," Si Chen didn't care about his dishonesty and smiled, "The Mu family informed the department and took over the responsibility. Plus Qi Tianhao's current situation, they can get you out..."

Seeing that there was no smile on his face, Si Chen narrowed his eyes, "Why, are you unhappy?"

"Even if you really don't want to stay, you can't bear such an ugly charge. If you really want to leave now, you can report it according to the rules."

And Shen Xingzhou knew in his heart that Mu Lianshen did this not because he valued him, so of course his current mood was not good.

“Hey, what are you thinking about?” Facing the dazed Shen Xingzhou, Si Chen raised his voice.

Shen Xingzhou leaned back in his chair casually, waved his hand and said casually: "It's okay."

"Why are you so depressed..." Si Chen was very happy at the moment, and patted his shoulder with a smile, "Boy, come to work tomorrow."

“Oh, I’ll take a leave,” Shen Xingzhou said in a light voice, lowering his eyes to suppress the gloom in his eyes.

Si Chen objected: "No, there is a mission..."

Shen Xingzhou raised his eyes to look at him and asked, "What mission?"

Si Chen stood up and said with a smile: "Let's talk about it in the team tomorrow. Go to bed early."

After saying that, he turned and left.

Shen Xingzhou closed the door, stood in the yard, and looked up at the starry sky.

"Why..."

He moved his lips and sighed with a hint of helplessness and bitterness.

The corners of his lips curled up into a faint smile, as if he was mocking himself.

But even so, he still couldn't let go.

Even he himself found it incredible.

Obviously we haven't met each other many times.

She obviously didn't treat herself any differently.

But every time we meet, the connection in my heart grows deeper.

Even if he just heard the news about her, he couldn't help but feel overwhelmed and full of thoughts.

Her eyes pierced deeper and deeper into his heart.

Until now, I can't help myself.

He once tried not to get any information related to her for a period of time.

He comforted himself that it might be because he saved his life that he couldn't let it go. But after a while, he thought he had let it go.

When I heard her name again, my heart was touched even more deeply than last time, and I can't forget it at all.

Thinking about her seems to have become an addiction.

At that moment, he knew that his life was really over.

From then on, he made up his mind to protect her and keep her.

Even if she doesn't need it and doesn't know it, so what?

That girl is Fu Xiao.

yes,

His life...

He thought again of the pinch mark on her neck in the northwest a few years ago.

The moment he saw it, for some reason, he suddenly felt an urge to destroy everything.

This feeling came so strangely that even he himself found it unbelievable.

From that day on, he knew that there was something extra in his heart...!

From that day on, whenever I had free time, I would think of her.

That kind of longing becomes deeper as time goes by.

It's late at night.

The dim lights were turned off, leaving only the faint shadows cast by the stars and the moon.

...

A courtyard house in the suburbs of Beijing.

On this day, before Mu Lianshen returned to the northwest, he got together with a few friends and called everyone to the courtyard.

Move the table under the garden tree and make a pot of tea.

Mu Lianshen's gaze fell on Fu Xiao, who was chatting and laughing with a few people.

It was unknown what Song Ruyuan said. She stared at Lu Yuan with wide eyes in surprise, then burst into laughter.

Wu Chengfeng, who was standing next to him, picked up his teacup and said, "I say, why hasn't Chen Ye come yet..."

Lu Zuoxian said: "He has something going on at work."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Ye's voice came from outside.

"Xiaojiu, why are you here so late?"

"You are the same,"

Zhai Jiu's voice was as calm as ever, and it sounded smooth.

Hearing his voice, Mu Lianshen's hand holding the teacup paused slightly, then returned to normal.

Chen Ye smiled and said, "I just finished my work at the office."

The two walked into the garden together, followed by Chen Jingchu and Zhai Yumo.

Wu Chengfeng saw the people coming in and waved them with a smile, "You're late. You'll have to drink two glasses of wine later."

Chen Ye smiled and looked at the two people behind him, "Go and have fun by yourselves,"

Then he walked towards the adults' table.

Lu Yuan waved towards Zhai Yumo, "Hey, you two, come over here."

He looked at Fu Xiao and introduced: "The fair-skinned one is Uncle Chen's son, named Chen Jingchu."

Chen Jingchu looked over with dissatisfaction, "Why don't you explain it in detail, what does white and clean mean?"

"Haha, who told you to be so white? There's nothing wrong with me introducing you like that."

Fu Xiao pursed her lips and smiled. The strange boy in front of her was indeed a little too white.

Chen Jingchu stopped looking at him and turned to look at Fu Xiao. He extended his hand and smiled. "Hello,"

She smiled and shook his hand back.

Lu Yuan next to him shouted, "Okay, stop being polite. Yu Mo, let's go pick some fruit."

"Here I come..." Zhai Yumo walked over with a smile.

Some of the fruits grown in this courtyard have not yet borne fruit, so we picked them from those grown by Cheng Yuan’s family next door.

I saw a few young men walk to the wall, climb up the wall, and jump into the yard opposite.
