Chapter 28
Twenty-six-year-old Ping An looked at the snow scene outside the window and realized that winter had come.
For nearly half a year, she hardly left the villa.
No one in the villa talked to Ping An, and she was not very willing to talk to Cheng Xiangheng. The two of them often looked at each other in silence. Sometimes Cheng Xiangheng wanted to do something in bed, and Ping An would slap him in the face.
He enjoyed it so much, as if he had some masochistic disorder, that he kept putting his face close to the fan.
Ping'an made rapid progress in her studies in an environment with good stress relief. She had high demands on herself: either study hard and strive to pass the exam, or stop studying and give up.
On the day of the exam, Cheng Xiangheng personally sent Ping An to the examination room.
Cheng Xiangheng was even more nervous than Ping An. He kept reminding Ping An of the exam syllabus, and then told her implicitly that even if she failed the exam, he would donate a building to the school and give her a place different from others, so she didn't need to be nervous, he would use his financial power to help.
"I know, get out of here now."
Ping'an was very calm. She even reached a flow state during her studies. Apart from knowledge, she didn't care about anything else.
After the last exam the next afternoon, Ping An did not leave the school, but instead climbed over the unattended wall behind the school.
While running, she turned on her old cell phone and called Xiaoqiu. Half an hour later, with the help of Wen Xing, she entered the train station.
Wen Xing's eyes were complicated: "Zhou Ping'an, when this storm is over, my brother and I will come find you."
Ping An nodded: "Okay."
There was no time to say anything more. Wen Xing was hesitant to speak, and in the end he could only watch Ping An walk into the train station step by step.
Ping An finally breathed a sigh of relief after getting on the train.
Ping An's brain, which had been studying at high speed for many days, finally relaxed. Thinking that he would never have to see Cheng Xiangheng again, he couldn't help but curl his lips.
So what if Cheng Xiangheng was powerful? The emperor was far away, and she didn't believe he could know where she had gone. Moreover, she didn't think he would go to such great lengths to catch a canary. There was no need at all.
After replying Xiaoqiu on the phone, Ping'an imagined the beautiful scene of reuniting with his brother after getting off the bus, and slowly fell asleep in the heating.
I slept very deeply and when I woke up I had already reached the terminal.
Xiaoqiu said that the final stop was Ping'an's hometown. She got off the bus in a daze, and what she saw was a deserted street without even an asphalt road. Not far away was a farmland with wheat seedlings planted in it.
There was no one on the street, and Ping An didn't see her brother at all. She waited there for a while. The cold wind blew, making Ping An feel drowsy and cold to the bones.
Seeing a taxi in the distance, Ping An opened the door and got in without thinking: "Master, do you know where the nearest hotel is?"
No one answered, and the air was eerily quiet.
Ping'an belatedly smelled a hint of the fragrance of gardenia and his body suddenly stiffened.
The next moment, her hands were covered by a pair of large hands: "Why are you so cold? Are you waiting for that cripple Wen Zhi?"
Ping'an's scalp felt numb and he wanted to shake off Cheng Xiangheng's hand, but he was controlled by him and could not move.
He hugged her, like a snake entwining its prey: "Sister, you are so cold, I am almost heartbroken, let me warm you up."
"Cheng Xiangheng..."
Ping An gritted his teeth, his body shaking uncontrollably with fear: "Why are you here?"
"Of course, wherever my sister is, I'm there. I told you we are one and can never be separated."
Cheng Xiangheng's voice was gentle, his pale cheek pressed against Ping An's. His hair was a little long, covering his eyes, which were unfathomable, but also had a sinister light because of Ping An. The corners of his lips curled up into a smile that was so beautiful that it was eerie and terrifying. "Sister, don't you understand? You can't get rid of me."
Ping'an's mind went blank. She didn't know where she got the strength from, but she kicked Cheng Xiangheng away without thinking. The car door was not closed. She almost crawled out of the car and ran forward without looking back!
Run away from this horrible monster!
A hoarse whimper came from Ping'an's throat, and his sanity was shattered by the extreme fear, leaving not a single fragment!
The worn-out cell phone rang, and Ping An subconsciously took a look. The moment she saw the content clearly, she felt as if the blood in her body was about to freeze.
——Sister, you can’t escape.
Below the information was a picture of someone escaping safely into the street.
Ping An subconsciously looked around and found that there was no one nearby. How did he take this picture of her?
Ping An didn't have time to think about it. She continued to run forward, trembling. She was so wrong! Cheng Xiangheng was a lunatic! How could he allow someone around him to betray him! Even if she was a canary, he wouldn't let her leave until he got tired of playing with her!
The phone kept ringing. When Ping An opened it, he saw one photo of her after another, as well as a series of disgusting confessions.
Ping An felt disgusted and wanted to throw his phone away, but he had to hold back because this was his only chance to see his brother.
Ping An carefully observed the nearby taxis, and after confirming his target, he got into the car directly.
The driver was a typical northern woman. She was smoking and was startled when she saw Ping An getting into the car in a panic. Just as she was about to curse, she noticed that Ping An's face was full of panic.
"Girl, what's wrong with you?"
Ping An's voice was panicked: "Quick! Sister, hurry up! My boyfriend won't break up with me and insists on arresting me!"
“Fuck!”
The driver rushed forward with Ping An without saying a word!
The car's speed, which was almost like flying, made Ping An slowly calm down. She unlocked her hands with trembling hands, and when she looked down, she saw that a small hand warmer had been hung on her wrist at some point.
The hand warmer is pink and warm, warming her wrists and hands as well.
Ping'an threw the hand warmer to the ground as if he had been electrocuted, and his wrist became cold again.
I don’t know how long I drove, but Ping An got off the bus at the high-speed rail station, paid the money, and bought a high-speed rail ticket.
Just at this moment, the phone rang. It was an unfamiliar number.
Ping An took a deep breath and answered the phone.
"Sister," Cheng Xiangheng's voice on the other end of the phone was filled with grievance, "Why did you throw away the hand warmer I carefully selected?"
Ping An's emotions, which had finally calmed down, collapsed again: "Cheng Xiangheng, that's enough! There has to be a limit to how much you can tease me! You won't let me see my family, and you lied to me that I'm an orphan. You trapped me by your side, not letting anyone else see me. Why should I be your canary? Have you ever given me the respect I deserve?!"
Cheng Xiangheng's voice came from behind Ping An: "Sister, you have lost your memory and don't remember many things. I don't blame you for being deceived by others. Let's go home and I will explain it to you slowly, okay?"
Ping An's eyes widened, as if his throat was being strangled. He turned around and saw Cheng Xiangheng wearing a plain coat with his usual well-fitting suit underneath. A little bit of white shirt showing from under his collar made him look restrained and refined.
He stood behind Ping An in a neat suit, with a smile on his face so gentle that it could drown someone.
Ping An felt like she had seen a ghost. She felt suffocated: "You...you!"
Cheng Xiangheng wrapped the scarf around Ping An's neck, which was numb from the cold, and said soothingly, "Sister, don't leave. You won't be able to find your brother. He's not in this city."
Ping An realized something: "Where did you take my brother?"
