Chapter 190 The Gunshots before Dawn (1/2)
On the night before his departure, A Miao took the initiative to please him. Shen Xinglan had been keen on this matter. Seeing that she rarely cooperated with him, he became more crazy than usual.
Finally, A Miao cried while falling asleep in his arms. Shen Xinglan stroked her smooth back and heard her muttering.
”Shen Xinglan... Please come back safely. Otherwise... otherwise I will...”
She did not finish the following words, and he kissed her amusingly.
”Don't worry, honey. I can't bear to leave you alone.”
When A Miao woke up, Shen Xinglan had gone. She stared at the crystal lamp on the ceiling with her quilt in her arms. When she realized it, her face had been wet with tears.
”Rat-a-tat!” Someone was knocking at the door.
”Come in, please.” She grabbed the quilt and wiped her face with it.
Song Baohua pushed the door in. ”You are already awake.”
”Yes!” A Miao got out of bed and went to the bathroom. ”Auntie Song, you don't have to call me to eat. I'll go downstairs when I'm hungry.”
Song Baohua helped her make the bed. ”I just can't stay idle. I did farm work every day in my hometown. I won't be comfortable if you don't let me do something.”
”Then you can't make yourself too tired.” A Miao washed her face and came out. ”I took you here to make you enjoy a happy life!”
”I know. Don't worry!” Song Baohua looked at her and smiled with satisfaction. ”When Mr. Shen left, he asked me to take care of you to eat and sleep well.
Shen Xinglan was very polite to request her with the attitude of the younger generation to the elders. Song Baohua knew that this was for the sake of A Miao, which proved that he really loved her very much.
So he respected Song Baohua on account of A Miao.
”Okay! I know.” A Miao took her downstairs. In the afternoon, He Shishi came worriedly.
Song Baohua served them cakes and black tea, and then quietly left there.
”Say it. What's wrong with you?” A Miao nestled on the sofa with a hot cup comfortably.
He Shishi gave her a languid look. ”It's not me who has no man.”
”...” A Miao took a bite of a doughnut and squinted at her. ”If you don't say it now, I won't listen to it later.”
”You are a bad girl now,” He Shishi said angrily, ”who is like Shen Xinglan more and more.”
A Miao put a piece of cake into He Shishi's mouth. ”Do you say it or not?”
”OK! OK!” He Shishi spit out the cake. ”A fucking idiot wants me to pretend to be his fiancee.”
”Hah-hah...” A Miao laughed very cunningly. ”It's Ouyang...”
He Shishi kicked the high heels off, and the two slender legs were lying on the sofa. She said enchantingly, ”If I am for the sake of you and your man, I must promise him. But if I don't care about you...”
She prodded A Miao's head in a noble way. ”I won't talk to that fool anymore.”
”I think your love has turned into hate.” A Miao looked at her seriously. ”Do you feel better by scolding him?”
He Shishi glared at her. ”Do you still want to listen to me?”
”I do!” A Miao poured her a cup of tea flatteringly. ”You said you wanted to help us, so have you agreed with him?”
”Why don't you ask about what happened?” He Shishi looked at her incredibly. ”Now you have been so brilliant that you can guess out the truth without knowing the cause?”
A Miao retorted, ”I think you are complaining too much, just like Wei Meng!”
”Well, stop complaining about each other.” He Shishi waved her hands. ”There is a bronze mirror jade pendant at Ouyang Jin's home. If I pretend to be his fiancee, his grandfather will give it to me.”
A Miao learned from Shen Xinglan that Ouyang Jin's family had a bronze mirror jade pendant. But she did not expect that Ouyang Jin could come up with such an arbitrary idea.
”What a direct way! Ha-ha...” She raised her cup to hide her face.
He Shishi snorted. ”Just laugh!”
”Sorry, I won't laugh anymore.” A Miao suddenly thought Ouyang Jin did it in an improper way.
It was easy for him to say that. But had he ever cared about He Shishi? After all, she loved him for so many years and couldn't forget him right away. What was worse, he appeared around her deliberately.
”Shishi, you should make the decision for yourself. I suggest you reject him.” A Miao said seriously, ”It's not fair to you.”
He Shishi picked up her eyebrows. ”You have a conscience!”
”So what are you going to do?”
”We'll see.” She stood up. ”Don't be bored at home. Let's go shopping!”
Along the shoreline to the end, there was an ordinary two-story building on the edge of the mountain. A sign was placed on the road, with words: Private place, please do not enter.
”Haven't gotten in touch with him?” Ouyang Jin came from outside in a red swimming trunk.
They arrived here yesterday and lived in the nearest hotel to the institute. Fortunately, it was a famous seaside town. So people here would not notice the strangers who suddenly appeared.
”I have failed to reply to the mailbox several times.” Le Yi took off his glasses. ”I guess he is hiding.”
Shen Xinglan took downstairs with coffee and looked out the window. The institute was on the edge of the cliff far from the road.
”Did you collect any useful information?” He asked Ouyang Jin.
