Chapter 2

Two years ago, Beijing.

Xu Zhi never thought that he would see Fei Nanzhou again in this life.

The dormitory area on the east campus is very old. There are still two large trees left over from an unknown age planted at the door. The trunks are as thick as three waists of hers. In the flower bed is a mass of unrepaired weeds, swaying in the wind. Lively.

Walking south along the path that is only big enough for one car to pass, your nose will be filled with the aroma of food.

Spicy hotpot, Shaxian snacks, sizzling squid, braised chicken and rice... Xu Zhi's saliva secreted unconsciously and she couldn't help but swallow.

The cold wind that was coming towards her still made her shiver. She tightly wrapped the lower half of her face with a scarf, revealing only a pair of vivid almond eyes.

"I called you twice and you still refused to pay attention to me. The little girl must be too tempered." Mu Yao came out of nowhere and stepped forward to hold her arm. "I drank that day." "It's really not intentional. Stop being so stingy. Let's go, I'll treat you to a meal."

Xu Zhi didn't have anything to say, it was just a little conflict.

She had been a roommate for several years, and it was hard for her to look down on her.

After being dragged to the intersection by Mu Yao, Xu Zhi looked at her puzzledly and saw that she was poking at it with her cell phone, as if she was sending a message. She couldn't help but become nervous: "Is there anyone else?"

"Don't worry, two or three. Look at your potential."

As he said this, people arrived, and three people got out of a black car parked at the intersection. In fact, the model of this car is quite ordinary, and even the license plate is nothing special, but the guard uncle didn't seem to see it, which was completely different from his usual tendency to rush over to chase people away as soon as he stopped.

Although they all have good looks, Fei Nanzhou still stands out among them. He is a tall man of about 1.8 meters, with a slender build. He wears his coat on his arms and only wears a dark turtleneck sweater on his upper body.

In the shadow, his facial features were very three-dimensional, and his eyelashes were extended to the depths of his eye sockets by the slanting light.

This is an extremely handsome face, with long black eyes and light lips. At first glance, it looks like a picture scroll, but when his deep gaze falls calmly on your face, it will make you feel deeply from the bottom of your heart. There was an inexplicable chill in the room, as if it was illuminated by a cold moon. The surroundings were deserted and silent, except for those deep eyes.

Sharp and profound, the undercurrent surges like a storm.

His appearance and temperament are actually very different from his figure and personality. He looks gentle and gentle, but he is a man of his own words. His close-fitting sweater outlines his tall and strong figure. When he walked with the other two people, he walked gracefully and his face was beautiful. Wearing a leisurely smile.

A few days ago, in the school lecture hall, Xu Zhi had already seen him once from a distance. Seeing him again now, he was still worried and had a thrilling feeling in his heart.

It was obvious that this relationship had ended twelve years ago.

She should have turned around and left, but the moment she saw Fei Nanzhou, she couldn't help but stay.

The place is in an alley over Xidan, and it took a lot of twists and turns to get there.

Although Xu Zhi lived here when he was a child, he moved away with his parents when he returned to the Xu family when he was ten years old, so he was not very familiar with the roads here.

I never imagined that there is such a place deep in the deep alley.

From the outside, it looks like an ordinary house. When you enter the harem, you can see the lanterns and the carved beams and painted buildings. You can almost see the scenery with each step. Even the random murals hanging on the walls feel valuable.

Xu Zhi felt really uncomfortable and went to the bathroom.

Mu Yao came in at this time, held her wrist, and sighed: "Zhizhi, don't be angry, I'm doing it for your own good. You offended Gu Ya. If you don't have a backer, will you still be able to get along in the future?"

Xu Zhi's face froze, and her heart felt heavy.

In fact, she didn't understand where she had offended Gu Ya, why was she so unforgiving to her?

She originally thought that she would just get through these few days, since she was about to start her internship anyway, but her bullying became even more severe. Not only did she play songs in the middle of the night to disrupt her study, but she also put dead mice in her cabinet. She talked to the dormitory aunt once, but the other party said that there was no evidence to prove that it was Gu Ya who did it. Her words were evasive and she did not dare to look directly at her.

Xu Zhi understood that Gu Ya's background was something that the dormitory aunt could not afford to offend.

She was thinking about moving out, but renting a house here was very expensive, so she couldn't find a place yet.

When Xu Zhi went back, they were already playing cards.

"What's that expression? You look like you're broke?" Xie Chengan tilted his head and leaned in front of him with a joking tone.

Fei Nanzhou calmly picked up a deck of cards, and with a slight movement of his fingertips, he heard a "swishing" sound like snow flakes flipping over. His slender and clean fingers gently scraped the cards and picked up Zhang Xiaowang.

"Damn! Did you make the cards?!" Xie Chengan yelled.

He curled up the corners of his mouth, bit the cigarette butt in his mouth, leaned back slightly, and then threw a card in his hand.

The fingers are nimble and the movements are neat.

After one round, Xie Chengan lost miserably.

"I haven't entered the state yet, so this game doesn't count!" He quickly grabbed the cards from the people around him and wanted to be the shuffler.

Fei Nanzhou took the cigarette out of his mouth and smiled, but said nothing.

Zhou Yiyang, who was familiar with him, saw the tiredness in his brows and turned around to ask him: "Are you worried?"

He didn't speak, lowered his eyes, and tapped his index finger rhythmically on the table. He didn't know what he was thinking about. . After a while, he threw away his cards and got up and walked to the side to dial the phone.

"What's going on? Is he out of his mind?" Xie Chengan pushed Zhou Yiyang.

Zhou Yiyang: "Don't blame him. His mother has suffered from depression again these days and insists on finding his sister. He is so busy with the company during the day that he has to take care of his mother when he comes home. I guess he has to look for his sister these days. He didn't even sleep for five hours a day. "

"His sister? Isn't his sister at home?" When I grow up, I don’t know much about these old things.

Zhou Yiyang sighed: "It's hard to put it into words, and this matter can't be explained clearly in a few words. In short, don't touch his bad luck in the past two days. You know his temper well. If you piss him off, everyone will have a bad time. Pass."

Hearing these words, Xu Zhi felt as if his heart was being hit by a small hammer, feeling very uncomfortable.

Fei Nanzhou was on the phone for almost half an hour. He comforted his mother patiently without any hint of impatience. He told her to drink milk before going to bed, then hung up the phone and turned around.

After taking a few steps forward, he stopped.

The aisle was narrow, and a slender figure was blocked in the middle.

The cold wind poured in from the wide open window, rolling up a few fallen leaves in the courtyard, and also raising her long black hair. Although the scarf slightly covered half of her face, her clear, apricot-like eyes were still extremely beautiful. moving.

The girl's appearance is very clean, with translucent skin and clear eyes. At first glance, she looks very pure and elegant, but her hot body is completely different from her appearance. Her breasts are large and beautiful, slender and beautiful.

Feeling the pressure of being looked at, Xu Zhi turned around and found that he was looking at her. Her heart skipped a beat and she immediately leaned to the side: "I'm sorry, I'm blocking your way."

In fact, he had a sharp-edged face with sharp eyebrows. He has high bones, a straight nose bridge, and a thin lip line that is sharp and sexy, giving him an air of abstinence.

It's just that when he's not smiling, he's a bit serious and doesn't feel close to him.

He was a former military academy student, and he was famous for his hot temper, lack of food and salt, and offended many people. However, because of his clever skills and profound background, no one can do anything to him.

"It's okay." Fei Nanzhou nodded politely and walked past her straight back into the hall.

Looking at her was like looking at a stranger.

Xu Zhi wanted to speak several times, but in the end she still didn't have the courage to acknowledge him.

I could only watch him walk away, feeling sour in my heart.

While one side was watching eagerly, the other side thought it was a good show about seducing the young master.

"How can such a beautiful sister not be tempted?" Qu Xiao was waiting for him in the distance, taking in everything. He was almost at the door, and she stepped forward on her high heels, not forgetting to tease him.

Fei Nanzhou automatically ignored this useless topic and loosened his sleeves slightly: "Grandpa has arrived in Jingshan?"

"Yes, do you want to have dinner together tonight, Nanzhou? I asked Anya to set up a private room nearby. The old man is tired from traveling and traveling. " Yes, there's no need to rush back and forth."

"Then I'll bother you, Teacher Qu."

"You're too polite, Nan Zhou. This is what I should do." Qu Xiao smiled softly at him, like the spring breeze in March. As gentle and warm as she is, the high heels under her feet are swaying and neat.

-In

order to be afraid that Gu Ya would cause trouble for her, Xu Zhi spent the night with Mu Yao.

The place Mu Yao rented was a bit narrow, but fortunately, although the sparrow was small, it had all the internal organs.

Xu Zhi was sitting on the fabric sofa, holding a glass of warm water, looking confused and a little lost.

Thinking that she was thinking about Gu Ya, Mu Yao patted her shoulder comfortingly: "Don't think about it, the boat will straighten out when it reaches the bridge. But is she sick? Why are you always causing trouble? How did you offend her? Did you steal her man?"

"How is that possible?" Xu Zhi shook his head in a depressed voice, "She wants to be transferred to our dormitory. I have never seen her before."

"That's strange. Now, think carefully about whether you have offended someone. Maybe someone was specially hired to punish you and make it impossible for you to stay in school."

Xu Zhi sighed, feeling exhausted: "I don't know, let's not talk about this. Not mentioning this,

Mu Yao became excited and winked: "How is it?"

Xu Zhi subconsciously touched her arm, feeling that she was smiling a little obscenely.

"Stop pretending, I'm talking about men." Mu Yao raised her eyebrows, "They are all handsome guys."

Only then did Xu Zhi realize what she was talking about and was speechless: "What does that have to do with me?"

"You're stupid, wait. You have no time to fall in love since you are an intern. Besides, I met Xie Chengan when we were playing basketball in Shenghu. The people in that area are all dignitaries. No matter how poor they are, they still have some wealth. I won't cheat you. "

Xu Zhi knew what she was going to say next, and nodded perfunctorily: "Okay, okay, I'll think about it and see if I can catch a winner." However, he quickly ran back to the room while she was not prepared, oiling her soles. Mu Yao was so angry that she stamped her feet behind.

Of course Xu Zhi knew what the background of the group of people today was. Those who could be brothers with Fei Nanzhou would naturally not be from an ordinary family background, and not only be rich.

But from the look on her face, she probably wasn't very clear about the background of Fei Nanzhou and his gang.

Think about it for a moment. He has always been cautious and will not report his family name randomly outside.

It's okay to play together, it's just for fun and to relieve boredom. They don't even report their family status. Obviously they don't regard people like them as friends. If they meet again in a few days, they probably won't even know them, so why bother rushing?

Mu Yao doesn't understand that people like them have clear class barriers and are cold-blooded in their bones. They talk and laugh with you on the surface but are full of the city's calculations in their hearts.

It seems that they are self-denying and courteous, but in fact, the attitude of the superior is distant and indifferent, and invisibly builds a high wall to exclude people who are not equal from the social circle.

-

Fei Nanzhou went back to Xiangshan to see his mother. When he left, he saw light coming from the crack of the door at the end. He went over and knocked on the door twice.

The person inside hurriedly came out to open the door and stood at the door, looking a little flustered: "Brother."

Fei Nanzhou nodded lightly and warned: "Aren't you sick these past two days? It's so late, go to bed early."

Fei Nanzhou chick He nodded like he was pecking rice, not even daring to look up at him.

He frowned slightly, but didn't say anything and went back to the company.

There was heavy snow on the road, and cars were stuck on Chang'an Street, stopping and going at a snail's pace. He lowered the window, took a mouthful of cold air, coughed twice, and his cheeks, which looked pale due to exhaustion, finally gained color.

Hu Qishan turned his head with a smile and reminded: "It's been more than ten degrees below zero for the past two days."

Fei Nanzhou lowered his eyes slightly, smiled without saying a word, took a cigarette and put it in his mouth leisurely, and lit the lighter.

When the car arrived at the downstairs of the company, Fei Nanzhou told Hu Qishan: "Drive back."

"Then you will..."

"We have a dinner tonight. I'll take Xie Chengan's car."

Hu Qishan said no more and turned the car back on its original route . Driving back.

At this point, there was no one in the building. On the 28th floor, Fei Nanzhou came out of the elevator and saw a middle-aged man wearing glasses, writing on the table with his head down.

Because I was too serious, I didn't notice him, and I didn't look up until a shadow covered my head.

The moment she saw him, she stood up cautiously and said, "Mr. Fei, why are you here?"

"Nothing, I have to do something." Fei Nanzhou smiled at him and picked up the food in his somewhat flattered eyes. He looked at the half-written information, nodded, put it back on the table, and only clicked on two of the data.

The other party hurriedly praised it, thanked him, and lowered his head to correct it.

-At

nine o'clock in the evening, the city's nightlife has just begun.

Fei Nanzhou stopped and stood by the floor-to-ceiling window and looked into the distance. Overpasses crisscrossed each other, pedestrians and cars were like dragons, scattered like stars, and the sky was filled with broken silver dotted with bright stars.

There is no wind in the room, and the warm lights decorate a Chinese-style office with an ancient charm, but it is also regular and square, lacking a bit of fun.

"Looking more and more like your dad. What kind of middle-aged and elderly tastes." Xie Cheng'an was looking at it in front of a sandalwood lattice bookshelf. He raised a purple clay pot and looked at it. He threw it down again and shook his head. He felt that he had no cure. save.

Fei Nanzhou smiled and said nothing, brewed a pot of tea himself, poured a cup and put it in his hand.

Xie Cheng'an leaned against the desk and took a sip, frowning slightly. After a while, he slowly relaxed, picked up the cup and took a look: "It's okay, what kind of tea?"

"Huangya."

"Nonsense, where are you? "I don't know.

Ask Lao Zhou. He gave it to me. " The two of them grew up in the same compound. Later, the army was banned and reorganized, and the old house was almost demolished. They were assigned to a new family building and lived door to door. A few years ago, his father made a mistake while going to the peak. It was Fei Nanzhou's father who was implicated and transferred to a local position. It was Fei Nanzhou's father who petitioned on his father's behalf. He was transferred back to Beijing last year after he had made meritorious service. The two of them had known each other since they were children and wore a pair of crotchless pants, so the relationship was naturally close. Fei Nanzhou was so used to it that he didn't even bother to raise his eyelids: "What are you envious of?"







His tone was usually calm and gentle, but his words were pronounced with a clear tone, and he was born with the air of a high-ranking disciple.

"With such a prominent background, everything can be done smoothly, and people will give you face in everything you do. Even tea is served in a hurry." Xie Chengan smiled.

"If you like it, just take it. He grew it himself, and when he got to the rural tea fields over there, he grabbed a handful of it."

Xie Cheng'an laughed, stopped teasing him, and finally got down to business: "What's wrong with Liu Gan?" Is the handling too much?"

Fei Nanzhou smiled and turned over the pages of the document, and said slowly: "That's right! Who asked him to get into trouble at this juncture, and didn't expect him to make me better or make mistakes for me? , He will die ten thousand times, and he will embarrass me completely."

His tone took a turn for the worse, with a hint of venom in his coldness.

No wonder he was so angry. He had just taken over the group and cheated Ji Honglang again. He had not yet gained a firm foothold in public opinion, but it was his own team that made mistakes. He needs to kill as a warning to others, so he must be dealt with harshly.

Xie Chengan shook his head helplessly: "I have the same temper as your father when he was young, but have you ever thought that since you gave up the military and chose this path, you should not be so radical in doing things, so as not to offend people too much."

Fei Nanzhou nodded with a serious expression . Nodding, he said: "I know everything, but Anzi, I have no choice, I am different from you." He was already trapped in it, like sailing against the current, he would retreat if he did not advance.

Xie Chengan was speechless for a long time after hearing this.

Fei Nanzhou is famous in the circle for being cautious and self-denying. He is not afraid of gods and demons, and is invulnerable to gods and ghosts. Except for being a little crazy when he was young, he is not interested in women who have money. There are many people who want to use this to have a relationship with him. enumeration but never succeeded. Especially after his grandfather retired, his family did not have many heirs, and there were not many prominent people in office. He relied on his father and his uncle to control the situation. Although they were in high positions, they could not control the situation alone. They were most afraid of capsizing in the gutter and being caught by others. What handle.

Maintaining the honor of the family is a responsibility that cannot be shied away from.

For a family like theirs, others only see the scenery, but they don't know that it is extremely cold at the top. Every step is like walking on thin ice, and if you make the slightest mistake, you will be defeated forever. When his father lost power, the trees fell and the hozens scattered, he had tasted both the cold and the warm.

Zhou Yiyang said that he was bitten by a snake once and was afraid of well ropes for ten years. Now he lives like a loser and dare not even drive a car worth more than 500,000 yuan.

It was getting late. Fei Nanzhou sent Xie Chengan downstairs. He originally planned to go back together. Xie Chengan suddenly received a call. After listening to it for a while, he said to him: "You can take a taxi back yourself. I have something to do at the moment."

Fei Nanzhou nodded: "Be careful on the road."

It was not difficult to take a taxi, but for some reason the queue in front of him was always more than ten people away, so he couldn't bear to wander around.

There are many high-rise buildings in the CBD, and even though it is almost late at night, people are still coming and going on the pedestrian streets.

On both sides of the street are shops with lighted light boxes. Different from the other colorful shops, the store in front of them is plainly decorated. In the window, there is a model doll with three necklaces hanging around its neck and a colorful sun hat on its head.

There are three or four kinds of flowers on the straw hat, red, yellow, blue and green, almost all of them.

In Fei Nanzhou's opinion, reality is insulated from good looks.

Just as he was about to turn around, a slender and dexterous hand took off the hat from the model's head and put it directly on his own head. He straightened his face with both hands and took pictures left and right of the glass in front of him, with a very ugly expression.

The light shines on her face, which is so white that it is as delicate as gelatin and as clean as fresh snow. Her originally small cheeks become even smaller and more delicate under the brim of the hat. Her chin is pointed, and there is a small red mole on the side of her pretty nose. She is cold and cool. Adding a bit of sweetness and softness.

For a moment, Fei Nanzhou seemed to see an elf in the snow.

As if aware of his gaze, the girl raised her head uncertainly.

When their eyes met, she was a little embarrassed and shy, and the expression on her face was a little stiff.

Fei Nanzhou couldn't help laughing, nodded his hat casually, and turned away under her puzzled eyes.

After a while, until his back was gone, Xu Zhi woke up from a dream - it turned out that he was wearing the hat backwards!

-

Years ago, Xu Zhi moved through two institutions and finally found a decent internship job.

Although it is a newly established company, the boss has a good background, good resources and connections, and the prospects are promising. During the first two months of her internship, her salary was halved. After careful calculation, she felt that she still couldn't save anything after excluding living expenses and rent, so she could only continue to share the apartment with Mu Yao.

The days passed like this, and on Friday, the manager came to inform them that he was going on a business trip the day after tomorrow, and he named her and Shen Di among the crowd. In addition to their highest level of interpretation, their image and temperament are also excellent.

The flight was at 5 o'clock in the morning that day. She, Shen Di and two key people from the next door department were waiting for the bus downstairs in the company, and then arrived at the airport. Unexpectedly, the big boss Liu Kan was also there, arriving earlier than them. Thanks to him, I was able to take a special plane.

Halfway through the plane, the cabin became so quiet that there were no more whispers.

Xu Zhi raised the visor, and there was only a clear blue sky outside the window, with blue tiles and blue tiles, like a piece of condensed ice crystal.

This scenery is rare on land, so she took out her mobile phone and took two photos. Unexpectedly, he forgot to turn off the sound, and two sounds of "click" and "click" were heard, and the man diagonally opposite who had his eyes closed opened his eyes.

When their eyes met, Xu Zhi was really embarrassed and hurriedly whispered "I'm sorry".

Fei Nanzhou smiled lightly, looked away, and opened the car magazine stacked on his lap out of boredom.

He was not wearing a suit, and his smoky gray jacket was placed on his knees. Because of his folded legs, a black sock was exposed from his leather shoes. He didn't know what he was thinking of, his eyebrows were sparse, and he turned his head to look out the window at the blue sky. One glance.

Xu Zhi discovered that there was always a sense of distance between him and others.

But this distance is not maintained deliberately, it is like an innate reserve.

Then I thought about it, who were the people who came into contact with high-class people like them since they were young? It is common sense to be arrogant and arrogant at heart and not want to have close friendship with people outside your class.

This is indeed the case in this society. Without equivalent value exchange, there would be no communication.

After the plane landed, they checked into a hotel next to the Bund. Xu Zhi and Shen Di shared a room, and manager Zhu Hong lived next door.

Nothing happened in the first two days, and they didn't need to translate. She and Shen Di lay dead in the room.

Jiang Qiao, an intern accompanying the group, came over with two bags of potato chips and asked, "Did you hear about it?"

"What did you hear?" Shen Di suddenly became energetic and turned over.

Xu Zhi also turned over, holding her chin, pretending to be listening attentively, which gave her enough face.

As soon as they reached the stairs, the two women immediately started gossiping:

"That Mr. Fei, he has a lot of background."

"What do you say?"

"Not two seconds after landing, the director came to see him. I don't know where he got the news. In order to curry favor with him, Liu Kan He sent his cousin up, and no one even looked at her, haha..."

"You don't know how old Zhu Hong is, I might not have any chance of winning."

"He's so handsome. "Too serious."

"Must be a prude. Not many men are serious."

"Looks like so-and-so on TV..."

I'm guessing here and there, but none of them are right.

Xu Zhi looked at the sky secretly, but after listening to these gossips, he probably knew that Fei Nanzhou kept it well hidden from the outside world. He only claimed that he was the boss of a financial company and could not easily reveal his family background. Otherwise, Liu Kan would dare to cling to him so shamelessly, thinking that he was taken advantage of by those rich second-generation people who are stupid and rich?

There was a dinner party in the evening, and Liu Kan kept toasting him during the dinner. After two drinks, people almost leaned on him, talking in the local dialect with loud tongues, and spitting stars.

Fei Nanzhou, who had always been calm, cold and unsmiling, also changed his expression. Secretary Shen Qian hurriedly fended people off and changed the subject to talk about other things.

There was someone in the bathroom, so Fei Nanzhou went outside to wash his hands.

The water flowed loudly. I washed my face and took out a tissue to wipe it with.

The door was opened at this time. He looked up and saw a familiar face in the mirror.

Xu Zhi was also startled for a moment, then stepped back to the door to look at the sign. He was relieved when he saw it was a public washroom area, and went in to touch up his lipstick.

She was about to leave when Fei Nanzhou called her out: "Wait a moment."

Xu Zhi stopped and looked at him blankly.

He seemed to feel that it was not appropriate, but he felt uncomfortable not mentioning it. He hesitated for a while, then nodded at the hem of his clothes as he passed by.

Only then did Xu Zhi realize that the second button on the collar of his shirt was open, revealing the beauty of his chest.

She hurriedly tied it up, her cheeks flushed, and she was so embarrassed that she wished she could dig a hole and crawl into it.

I don’t know when it opened. Did anyone else see it at the table just now?

Xu Zhi returned to her seat with a complicated mood, and felt a little uninterested after that. Fortunately, she was not the protagonist of this meal, no one drank and no one cared. She and Shen Di went back together after that.

-The

temperature in the Special Administrative Region is different from that in Beijing. Shen Qian greeted the hotel manager and asked someone to pick up two pieces of clothing. He turned around and said with a smile, "I misjudged the temperature. The clothes I brought were a bit thick. You don't want to wear those. Big Just wear a shirt at night and you're not afraid of catching cold?"

Fei Nanzhou was on the phone but didn't answer. After a while, he hung up and took out his lighter to light a cigarette.

I don't know if it was because of the weather or because I ran out of gas, but I didn't hit it after playing for a long time.

He was getting annoyed at the moment, but the blind man insisted on pushing over to light the fire for him, calling "Mr. Fei" diligently.

When Fei Nanzhou turned around, he saw a wrinkled middle-aged man's face, which was unremarkable except for a fleshy mole on the tip of his nose that stood out.

But there is no such person in my memory.

He nodded lightly: "Thank you." Anyone with a discerning eye could see that he had no intention of communicating in depth.

But the other party finally came into contact with this person in this place, and he was naturally very enthusiastic: "The weather is not good. The air conditioning this year is stronger than in previous years. It is common to be unable to hit..."

"Brother Nanzhou." The arrival of Hang Jiaze Interrupted this gushing conversation.

He was also holding a large suitcase in his hand and trotting over, the wheels making a loud noise.

Seeing this posture, the middle-aged man couldn't stand it anymore and left.

When his back completely disappeared, Hang Jiaze said in a speechless voice, "Brother, I really admire you. This guy's flattering skills are so disgusting that I get goosebumps all over my body. You can still listen to him without changing your expression. I admire you -" He thumbs up.

Fei Nanzhou glanced at him coldly: "Have you told your dad about the company's imminent collapse? Do you still have time to travel?"

Hang Jiaze wailed, called brother several times in a row, and stuck to him like a puppy: "Don't tell my dad -"

"He will really strangle me to death -"

"Please, just lend me some money to make ends meet."

Fei Nanzhou didn't even have the desire to talk to him. , pinched his cigarette and turned around: "Go find Xie Chengan."

When he returned to the suite, he felt uneasy and made a phone call: "Have you found the place to live? Don't go out and fool around."

Hang Jiaze jumped: "What fool around? I'm here to handle it. It's serious!"

"What serious thing can you do?"

"I'm..." The voice on the other end stopped abruptly.

Fei Nanzhou called him twice before Hang Jiaze stumbled and said: "Brother, I just saw an angel -"

Fei Nanzhou almost choked on the cigarette: "What nonsense are you talking about? Are you drunk? Tell me Where are you now? I asked Shen Qian to pick you up."

He seemed to turn a deaf ear and said distractedly: "Brother, I really saw an angel! How could there be such a beautiful and lovely girl in reality - my God, I'm in love."

"It seems that I need to remind you that you are engaged."

Like a bucket of cold water in his pocket, Hang Jiaze was about to cry: "Brother, you are such a spoiler."

"I am. I just want to remind you that there are some things I can turn a blind eye to, and there are some things..." A sneer emerged from his nose, "If you dare to do anything that is sorry for Nancy, you see how I will deal with you."

His tone was very steady, but his slow tone, like stating the facts, made people even more chilling.

Hang Jiaze really didn't dare to argue with him. Most of the time, he is inviolable, but if he gets serious, his ten lives are not enough for him to toss, and he can only watch the girl wearing a white lotus-sleeved shirt not far away gradually walk away.

-

After smoking two cigarettes, Fei Nanzhou walked to the window. The cold wind made his face tighten, but his expression was blank.

The light and shadow in front of me are floating and changing, the years are chaotic, and my memory seems to have returned to twelve years ago.

Eighteen-year-old Fei Nanzhou stopped at the intersection.

On both sides of the road with rolling yellow sand is a row of crooked low-rise houses, as well as some abandoned factories, with garbage piled up for who knows how long... it's dirty, smelly, and disorderly.

If he hadn't come here in person, he probably wouldn't have believed that there was such a dilapidated place in Beijing.

Seeing him standing over there with an ugly expression, Hu Qishan's expression became a little sarcastic, and he hurriedly said, "Let's find Zhizhi first before we talk."

Fei Nanzhou didn't answer, but already took quick steps.

Ten minutes later, he stopped in front of a small restaurant.

There was only one store, but it had two floors. It was obviously an old-fashioned compound building where businesses were housed below and used as residences above. The glass that had not been wiped for a long time was full of grease and dirt, and a few flies were lingering on the cesspools on the ground.

Fei Nanzhou frowned, hesitated for a while, then opened the door and stepped in, with a deep voice: "Excuse me -"

Before he could speak, his eyes met a familiar face.

A woman in her late forties, her face was weathered and there were several crow's feet at the corners of her eyes. However, it is not difficult to tell from her pretty nose and delicate face that she was a beauty when she was young.

Seeing him, Zhou Chunfang was obviously surprised. She rubbed her apron nervously, stumbled and asked him if there was anything wrong, her eyes evasive.

Fei Nanzhou was concerned about Nan Zhi and didn't think much about it: "Is Nan Zhi here? Please call her, I have something to do with her."

Zhou Chunfang was a little embarrassed: "Nan Zhi went to deliver goods, I'm afraid I'll be back in a while. If you don’t come..."

How could Fei Nanzhou not hear what she was saying?

He didn't have the time to spend with her. He looked at the people behind him and Hu Qishan hurriedly took out a few bills from his wallet and gave them to her.

Zhou Chunfang's eyes brightened, and she had already gone upstairs: "I'll call her back right now."

Fei Nanzhou took a deep breath to suppress the irritability in his heart.

When Xu Zhi's three-wheeled truck stopped at the door, he immediately saw the young man standing in the store. His demeanor and cultivation are obviously incompatible with this place.

She got off the car, looked down and saw the unglued sneakers, and subconsciously hid her feet.

"Zhizhi——" Fei Nanzhou had already seen her and turned around quickly.

...

The two walked along the Loess Highway for a while. Fei Nanzhou resolutely held her hand sideways and said, "Zhizhi, come back with me. This place is not suitable for you."

It was not without heartbeat.

Xu Zhi pursed her lower lip, but finally pulled her hand back.

The Fei family has found their biological daughter, so why does she still stay in that home?

Those riches and honors do not belong to her in the first place, and keeping them by force will only increase embarrassment.

She shook her head: "That's good."

Fei Nanzhou's face was ashen, but he still said patiently: "What future do you have if you stay here? Zhizhi, don't be willful."

Xu Zhi still shook his head, but his tone was different. Slowly and softly, she raised her face and smiled at him pretending to be strong: "Brother, see you later."

They were not from the same world.

She was about to leave when Fei Nanzhou suddenly pulled her from behind and held her small body in his arms with a little force, but his arms were trembling.

There was a tear rolling on her face, sliding down her temples and into her clothes, making her feel slightly cold.

"Take care of yourself." He suppressed a smile, his voice hoarse.

Xu Zhi's tears finally couldn't help but roll down.

...

He went back very late that day, and he already noticed something was wrong when he entered the courtyard, because the lights in the hall on the first floor were on, like daylight.

Fei Nanzhou took a deep breath and stepped in resolutely.

The first floor was very quiet, except for the gentle sobs of her mother Yao Yanlan, and her sister Fei Nanxi carefully patted her back and comforted her. Father Fei Pucun stood by the window smoking, saying nothing.

Fei Nanzhou stopped and said, "Dad."

Fei Pucun turned sideways, looking straight at him with a pair of sharp and deep eyes, but his face was calm: "Where have you been?"

As the eldest son of the family, he He was raised by his father, who had high expectations, so he was naturally very strict.

Fei Nanzhou lowered his head, but his tone was neither humble nor arrogant: "I'm going to find my sister."

Fei Pucun's face was already very ugly. He pointed at Fei Nanzhou, whose eyes were reddish, and said: "Your sister is here, you still have to go up." Where can I find your sister?"

"That's enough! Stop embarrassing the child! I asked him to go there!" Yao Yanlan screamed, grabbed the cigarette in his hand, and slammed it on the ground. I spend every day in your office in Lao Shizi, accompanying you with your pile of broken documents. Of course I don’t know how hard it is to take care of a child! That is the daughter I have raised since she was a child. You want to send her away just now?

"Fei Pucun, you have no conscience! Stop giving me your official talk, I won't accept this!" Yao Yanlan, who has always been dignified, looked crazy, and two buttons of her cheongsam were opened during the dispute . One shoe has disappeared.

Fei Pucun was disgraced by her. He who had always been gentle to his wife finally became a little sullen and shouted: "Do you think it's for her own good? Have you ever thought about what you can do if you have both children by your side?" Is a bowl of water equal? ​​If you can't do that, it will only make the two children resent each other."

Feinxi cried silently, looked at Yao Yanlan hurt, then looked at him, took a step back, and wiped away her tears. "Deng Deng Deng" ran upstairs...

Fei

Nanzhou was lost in thought and was silent for a long time.

There was a rustling sound outside the window. He came back to his senses and frowned. It turned out that it was raining outside.
