Zhai Jiu pondered for a few seconds and smiled bitterly: "In terms of feelings, Uncle Jiu is a loser and has no experience to give you, but with your intelligence, you should understand that a girl like Fu Xiao will not like a despicable person."

"But Shen Xingzhou is not an upright person..."

"Why do you compare with him?" Zhai Jiu was puzzled.

Zhai Yumo paused, yes, why should he compete with Shen Xingzhou.

Maybe he felt that subconsciously in his heart.

He is his own biggest enemy.

People are always like this. They will unconsciously create an imaginary enemy for themselves on a matter.

And, I always think that if I can surpass him, I will be successful.

Zhai Jiu struck a match and watched the flame lick the cigarette butt, emitting a scarlet light.

He took a puff of cigarette, his eyes were full of circles, and he looked a little absent-minded. "Uncle Jiu also had a girl he liked, but I didn't tell her my feelings back then, and I still regret it."

"The boy she finally chose is pure, passionate, and clean. He is different from me in that he is a pure and honest person."

Zhai Jiu looked at Zhai Yumo and said, "If you like her, then work hard. Xiaomo, you are very good. Show your excellence. Don't play tricks in front of her. Be sincere."

"Your uncle and I can turn a blind eye to your other methods, but...what you did this time was wrong. No matter whether you have a brotherly relationship with Zhai Mu Ning, family is family. You can ignore it, but you can't hurt it."

He paused, "I took pity on you because of your poor health since you were little, so I never disciplined you. Now that you've grown up, you seem to be quite sensible, so I never hit you. But this time, I have to punish you."

Zhai Jiu took out a stick from behind the door and said calmly: "Go out and stand still..."

"I've punished you this time. I hope you'll remember this. If you do it again..."

His eyes were full of sternness, and he said earnestly: "Xiao Mo, then don't think about getting ahead. I don't want to spend all my energy to cultivate a scourge. If that really comes to that, don't blame Uncle Jiu for being cruel."

"I changed everything..... Can I really get her like this?" he asked.

Zhai Yumo's eyes were filled with panic, and the smile on his lips was bitter and astringent. Now that he was no longer mean, calculating, or shady, could he really get what he wanted?

He said so much, but this kid actually cared about this. Zhai Jiu stared at him for a few seconds, then sighed and spoke slowly...:

Late at night, the stars are falling.

Zhai Yumo dragged his bleeding back and walked slowly out of Zhai Jiu's courtyard.

When he reached his yard, he squatted beside the flower bed, lowered his head, took out a cigarette and started smoking. The scarlet cigarette butt stained his dark and gloomy eyebrows.

He thought of what Zhai Jiu had said just now: "At least you are fighting for it now, so you won't regret it in the future. No matter what the result is, just try your best."

"If she really likes someone else, Uncle Jiu also hopes that you can be more open-minded and bless her with a smile,"

At that time, Zhai Jiu was only giving earnest advice as an elder. He himself had been struggling with the matter of Fu Jingshu for more than 20 years before he let it go, so when he said this, he actually had no confidence at all.

Matters of the heart are the most complicated, and no one knows how deep Yu Mo's thoughts are.

Zhai Jiu thought to himself at that time: It seems that I have to watch it carefully...

Otherwise, if he really offended Fu Xiao, Mu Lianshen might not give him face.

If things get really ugly, it will be really embarrassing for the Zhai and Mu families.

"Open-minded?" Zhai Yumo murmured softly, threw away the cigarette in his hand, and stood up. He stood in the shadow, and in the dark night he could not see his face or his emotions.

His lonely figure was stretched out by the light, as if it was cut apart, and swaying in the wind and rain.

Zhai Yumo smiled gently, but his eyes were not covered by a dark and damp mist.

"What should I do...but I don't want her to be with someone else," his voice was very soft and drifted away with the wind.

...

May is early summer.

In a yard in the suburbs.

A figure stopped and stood under the osmanthus tree. The man was wearing a simple army green short-sleeved shirt and camouflage pants. He was tall and had a stunning appearance. The corners of his eyes were raised at this moment.

"Remember to send the items in good condition..."

The person standing opposite him hesitated and said in a negotiating tone: "Can't you just find someone to take you there? I heard from the people inside that it's a dangerous place. I want to stay and help you."

"It is dangerous, so we can't just force it this time, we have to use a trick," Shen Xingzhou held a lit cigarette between his slender fingers, his posture elegant yet unrestrained.

"You helped me a lot by delivering the things to me on time," he smiled softly, "Ayan, this is very important,"

This man named A Yan was actually named He Yan. Both his parents had passed away. After being saved by Shen Xingzhou, he has been following him ever since. It can almost be said that he respects him as his own father or brother.

He always regarded what Shen Xingzhou said as his guiding principle.

When he told him this was important, he stopped talking.

Shen Xingzhou's stern outline appeared even more handsome and profound through the faint smoke.

He smiled and said, "Go now and make sure it's delivered on the 25th."

"I understand, brother. Be careful then."

The 25th, so today is already the 20th. He Yan thought about it and prepared to pack his things and set off.

"Brother, I'm leaving now. You must be careful and check the person in the next room. I always feel that he is not telling the truth."

Shen Xingzhou rubbed his head amusedly, “Do I need you to teach me?”

When He Yan turned and left, the smile on Shen Xingzhou's face fell, and his pair of peach blossom eyes swept towards the other room like a cold pond, revealing coldness and murderous intent wantonly.
