Chapter 286: He is here!

Lu Jingshu was silent. She saw a glass of mineral water on the table, took it in her hand, and drank most of it in one breath.

The cold water went down her esophagus, which had the opposite effect of strong liquor. She felt as if she was washed by the cold water, and her brain became clearer.

She felt that the force holding her hand was a little stronger, and the plastic bottle made a creaking sound in her hand. Lu Jingshu lowered her eyes, with no expression on her face, but the disgust that had been with her five years ago seemed to be even deeper.

Chu Mian felt so distressed at the sight of her.

"For the first time," she whispered, "I've been looking for her for so long in the past five years, and this is the first time I see her shadow in someone."

Although I don't know if it's because of the similar body shape...

Lu Jingshu looked up at them and said, "Maybe we can give it a try."

Anyway, it doesn't matter if I'm disappointed this time...

Chu Mian gently stroked her cheek and said, "Okay."

Zhou Zipei leaned on his head and looked at Die Yin's information on the computer, his eyes were full of mystery. He

was an orphan until he was promoted and reused by the head of the federal government five years ago, and he has been promoted to the position of major general now.

Five years...

What a good time node!

...

Not long ago

When Die Yin came out of the underground alliance, she moved her ears and vaguely heard the hurried footsteps behind her, so she quickened her pace.

At this time, a car was coming straight towards her, and it did not slow down when it was close to her. Dieyin was quick-witted and jumped into the car in an instant. In a blink of an eye, both the car and the people disappeared nearby.

The whole process took only a few seconds.

"Major General! Where are we going next?" Yinwu asked.

Dieyin resisted the urge to look back and sat quietly in the back seat without saying a word.

The others felt that the major general was in a very bad mood at this time. The atmosphere in the car suddenly became depressing, and even Yinwu did not dare to say anything.

They carefully looked at the major general's expression through the rearview mirror.

In fact, they couldn't see anything, after all, he was wearing a mask.

Did you lose the match today

? No, the major general still cares about winning or losing

. Didn't you not care about the ranking before?

The reason why Dieyin participated in the competition before was to change her fighting skills and habits, as well as her martial arts moves. After all, all her kung fu was taught by Zhou Zipei.

So she can fight anyone, the more she fights, the better. So she started to challenge from the last place, not caring about the ranking, as long as she can fight, no matter who the opponent is.

Everything she did was to prevent them from recognizing her, because now is not the time, but she didn't expect that in just a few minutes, she almost failed several times.

She fought desperately against her instincts, but what was engraved in her bones was impeccable.

Dieyin closed her eyes and said after a while: "Take me home."

The car drove smoothly to her residence in the underground city.

Dieyin walked straight into the bathroom and turned on the light. She looked at herself in the mirror, wearing a boring and ugly mask. What was even more terrifying was that she was used to being so ugly.

Since putting on the mask, Dieyin has never looked directly at her own face again, and there is always a trace of resistance in her heart. When she saw

the old friend again today, she suddenly had an impulse.

Dieyin slowly reached out to take off the mask, and then it was a face that was no different from a real person. She lifted her eyelids and looked at the mirror.

Delicate eyebrows, impeccable skin and bone structure, a pair of almond eyes with clear black and white, pure and transparent, and a tall and small nose with smiling lips.

When she smiles, she exudes a pure and clear innocence.

She covered her eyes through the mirror and thought, it seems that they are not as bright as before. She

doesn't like to smile anymore.

Dieyin sighed, picked up water and splashed it on the mirror, like a basin of paint smearing a painting, and the original appearance can no longer be seen.

She turned and walked out, and the phone was dialed on time. It was Liu Chenan.

I heard the wind so quickly.

Dieyin answered: "Hello"

"Open the door." Liu Chenan said.

Dieyin looked towards the door instantly, half-closed her eyes and asked: "You're here"

Liu Chenan smiled softly and said ambiguously: "Guess."

Dieyin held the door handle and pulled it gently, and then she saw a pair of spotless, expensive custom-made leather shoes appear in her field of vision.

Then, she felt a force and couldn't help but take a step back. The next second, she saw Liu Chenan still holding his mobile phone and appeared in the room.

Dieyin was stunned. She didn't expect Liu Chenan to actually come.

Knowing that I met Lu Jingshu and took the initiative to withdraw from the competition, so I was so worried about myself

When Liu Chenan looked up and saw her face, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Then he put down his phone, smiled and took a step closer, saying, "Are you surprised?"

Dieyin then turned around and walked back, saying, "It would be abnormal if I wasn't surprised!"

Liu Chenan said, "Why don't you ask me what I'm doing?"

Dieyin leaned against the wall with her arms folded, and said sarcastically, "How can I ask about the chief's schedule?"

Liu Chenan didn't care about her tone, his eyes fell on her face, and his expression seemed to be very nostalgic.

"Not only my schedule," he approached her, "you can ask about everything about me."

Dieyin turned her head to look at the street outside the window, silently counting the number of passing cars in her heart.

She said nonchalantly, "I'm not interested."

Liu Chen'an couldn't help but reach out to touch her face. After being dodged, he paused, then pursed his lips and said lazily, "You will always be interested."

Dieyin stood up and took out the mask from the bathroom. When she was about to put it on, she was stopped by Liu Chen'an.

"Don't, you look good like this."

"You don't need to tell me, I know."

Liu Chenan was afraid that she would put on a cold mask in front of him again, so he snatched it from her hand and said, "I'll keep this for you first."

Dieyin frowned and said impatiently, "What do you want to do?"

"Look," Liu Chenan raised his eyebrows, "I said you would always be interested."

Dieyin didn't have the patience to play word games with him, "Go if you have nothing to do, I want to rest."

Liu Chenan's expression became a little disappointed, and he said, "You are not happy because of today's game."

Dieyin understood immediately, and then said calmly, "No, it's not."

"I just lost the game," Liu Chenan affectionately shaved her hair behind her ears, and said in a gentle voice, "It

's normal." Dieyin got straight to the point, "I gave up on my own."

"Yeah, I know."

Sure enough, he already knew that he came all the way here to suspect my purpose.

Dieyin opened her mouth and just said one word, "Because..."

"Maybe if we really fight, you can beat her."

Liu Chenan came anxiously. Now he just learned about her competition situation for the first time, and didn't know that her opponent was her sister - Lu Jingshu.

This answer was beyond Dieyin's expectations.

She looked at him, confused.

"What are you looking at me for?" Liu Chenan smiled.

Dieyin reacted and it seemed that he didn't know about this yet.

That's easy.

"Today's game... is special." Dieyin said to Liu Chenan.

Liu Chenan became interested: "Oh, what's special about it?"

Dieyin said: "Because the opponent is so beautiful, I can never do anything to a good-looking person."

She seemed to really think that the other person's appearance was amazing, her face was full of admiration, and it seemed that she just thought the other person was beautiful.

Liu Chenan said unhappily: "Who is prettier, me or her?"

Die Yin's expression was quite indescribable: "..."

"What if I say it's her?"

Liu Chenan grinned: "Simple, then I will peel off her skin, so that I will be the prettiest in your heart."

Die Yin secretly cursed her as a lunatic, and then said sincerely: "I'm joking, of course you are good-looking."

Liu Chenan was satisfied.

Since I took the initiative to bring it up, it should dispel some of his doubts.

The goal was achieved, Die Yin started to chase people again: "Is there anything else? If not, then..."

Liu Chenan's cell phone rang, interrupting her unfinished words.

"Move it up!" Liu Chenan said to the phone, and then hung up.

What to move?

Just when Die Yin was wondering, someone knocked on the door.

She didn't move. Liu Chenan walked over and opened the door. When he appeared in her sight again, he came in pushing a five-layer cake.

"You..." Dieyin didn't know what to say for a moment.

Liu Chenan looked at her surprised expression with satisfaction and said, "How come you even forgot your own birthday?"

He came from a long way and finally got here in the last few hours.

Finally, I didn't miss it.

Birthday...

Dieyin looked at the date and found that today was the fourth day of the first lunar month.

Liu Chenan stood beside her, looking at the cake that was almost as tall as Dieyin, and said to her, "Are you satisfied?"

Dieyin's thoughts were not here. She had already wandered away. She didn't hear what he said, but just nodded randomly.

Being able to see her sister on her birthday is the best gift she will receive in the rest of her life.

It seems... God still has a bit of mercy towards her.

The barely perceptible worry in Liu Chenan's eyes turned into a trickle of joy when he saw Dieyin nod.

"Snap"

the sudden darkness brought Dieyin back to her senses in an instant. Before she could react, a faint light appeared in front of her.

It was Liu Chenan lighting the candles.

"Dieyin, happy birthday." Liu Chenan said to Dieyin, "Make a wish!"

Dieyin looked at the candles slowly burning in front of her and was stunned. Then, like she fantasized in her mind every year, she clasped her hands together and closed her eyes.

The moment the darkness came, the scene in front of her seemed to have turned into another one, which had evolved in her mind countless times, as if it had happened before.

There were many people around, and it was very lively. There were Zhou Zipei, Lu Jingshu, Chu Mian, and others, all of whom were good friends of hers.

Apart from Zhou Zipei and others, whom Die Yin reminded herself of countless times every day, Die Yin's impression of others was only a video that seemed to be out of focus.

A red-haired man...

two people chattering beside the red-haired man...

a girl with a shy and gentle smile, calling her Siyin in a low voice... a

serious woman who was good at martial arts, cool and strong, but liked to follow me...

the hacker next to Chu Mian, and the somewhat reckless and careless man.

Wait

Unfortunately, Die Yin could no longer call out their names.

With everyone singing birthday songs in the background, she met Zhou Zipei's burning eyes, and then closed her eyes as she did now, making the same wish as now:

I hope that I can be with him and them and part ways someday, and we will meet again someday.

"What wish did you make?" Liu Chenan looked at Dieyin who was quietly making a wish and said arrogantly, with a hint of expectation on his face.

Dieyin opened her eyes and blew out the candles. The room returned to darkness again. In this dark space, Liu Chenan heard her voice still calm and indifferent: "I hope my mission will go smoothly this time."

Well, it has nothing to do with me.

Liu Chenan accepted this fact and accurately grabbed Dieyin's hand in the dark to turn on the light. The quiet and dark environment magnified his inner desires and obsessions.

He didn't say anything, and his pupils, as dark as the night, stared at Dieyin's figure in front of him, even though he couldn't see anything.

Dieyin frowned. She suddenly felt that Liu Chenan's mood had become extremely bad, as if... he was on the verge of madness.

"Let go."

Liu Chenan pushed harder. The two of them confronted each other for a while. Suddenly, she heard a chuckle. It didn't sound like a happy laugh, but the meaning was unclear.

Before she could figure out why he suddenly became like this, Dieyin felt a force on her arm. Liu Chenan hugged her fiercely.

"I can't seem to wait any longer." I

can't wait for you to marry me willingly. It seems that tying you to the wedding scene and then locking you up is not bad for the person who has you to see you from time to time.

Dieyin heard the danger behind these words. Her face was gloomy, and the warmth in her eyes faded a little bit. She struggled hard to break free.

During the argument, I don't know what they bumped into, and then there was a loud "bang".

"Click"

Dieyin took the opportunity to turn on the light, and when she regained her sight, she realized that it was the exquisite cake that was knocked over.

She looked at the messy living room, and suddenly had a headache, with a hint of anger on her face.

When Liu Chenan's eyes met her expression, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes, like a child who had done something wrong, but in a moment he turned back into the elegant and arrogant leader.

"It's just a cake, I'll make another one for you."

Dieyin's forehead veins popped up, and she said in a low voice: "Clean it up for me."

Then she turned a blind eye and walked into the bedroom. "Click", the door was locked.

...

In a luxury hotel

The sound of water in the bathroom stopped. Zhou Zipei was wearing loose pajamas. He wiped his hair with a towel and threw it aside.

He walked into the living room and saw the things on the table. His eyes paused, then he walked to the switch and turned off all the lights in the room.

Zhou Zipei had his back to the hall. The curtains were not drawn. The colorful neon lights shone through the window and intertwined with the shadows projected on the wall.

He was covered by the shadow and stood there for a long time. He

turned around and leaned against the wall, looking down at the outline on the table that flickered because of the movement of the light outside the window.

It was a cake...

Zhou Zipei's eyelashes trembled slightly, and there was a faint sadness in his eyes.

He walked over quickly, picked up the candle with his thin fingertips and lit it, but when he was about to put it in, he stopped.

The cake was covered with a layer of strawberries, completely covering the light pink cream.

"You like strawberry-flavored cakes so much, you should be very happy now!"

Zhou Zipei smiled slowly and continued to talk to himself: "You are 26 years old this year! I didn't expect time to pass so quickly. When I first met you, you were still a child."

"Well, you are still a child now." The tone was indescribably doting.

After a moment of silence, he said self-deprecatingly: "If you don't come back, I will really be old. I don't know if you, a heartless little man, will dislike me."

Zhou Zipei finished speaking with a bitter smile on his lips. Feeling dry in his throat, he poured himself a glass of wine and drank it in one gulp. His stomach suddenly felt hot.

But he tasted a sudden salty taste from it.
