Chapter 22 Nacht The bird in the cage.
Chapter 22 Nacht The bird in the cage.
Just as his fingertips were about to press the send button, his rising emotions were suddenly cut off by the shouting from the audience, and Xie Ling paused.
"I believe in my sister's character. She is excellent in both character and study, and she has a kind heart..."
He hesitated again and again, as if he was struggling against some force.
Xie Ling sneered, what did she know, she didn't understand her at all, and she was not her sister.
The words sealed in the input box were deleted one by one. Before the withdrawal time of the photo that had been sent expired, Xie Ling pressed the key with his fingertips and withdrew it.
She raised her eyes and looked at the two people facing each other on the big screen in front of her. The woman bit off the green grape-flavored Pocky, and the young man opposite smiled and looked at her with such affectionate eyes. The ambiguity and close distance made all the audience excited.
It's so noisy.
Suddenly, she felt that her brother was so pitiful.
Also, regarding what happened in the nearby store today, why did she choose to believe her without any evidence, and why did she help her.
…
the biscuit broke.
Playing such a game under the gaze of such a huge crowd, even though Zhan was no longer fearless, he still backed off.
But the biscuits tasted like green grapes. The light sweet fruity aroma filled her taste buds. She was surprised, "It tastes like grapes."
Meng Ye just smiled and said nothing.
Those narrow and indifferent eyes were so attractive when they smiled. The gymnasium was bustling and noisy like the sea, without sleep or rest.
After completing the task, Meng Ye went on stage, and according to the rules, it was the turn of other band members to randomly select people to play the game.
Below the stage, Xun Ang folded his hands over his chest and stared at Quezhan.
She was the witness who watched the two people eating cookies from the closest distance. She blinked and looked forward to it: "Zhanzhan, Zhanzhan, did you? Did you have the feeling I told you about?!"
"What kind of feeling?" "
..." Xun Ang didn't know what to say for a moment, "...Of course it's the emotional pull brought by the man."
"..."
This time it was Zhanzhan who was speechless, "It's just playing the game, what nonsense, you can read less comics in your little head. But..."
Xun Ang looked forward to it again.
"Cookies are my favorite flavor."
"..."
After the fans' benefits were given out, the concert went on, but he continued to immerse himself in the music and forget himself.
That night, it seemed as if all the unhappy things had been forgotten. If the band held another concert, she would definitely go to support them.
After the concert is over and the audience has left, all the band members go backstage to prepare for the finishing work.
"Damn, I'm so tired!" Drummer Xiao Dan pushed open the door of the room and jumped down on a chair, "I declare, I've never been so tired in my life! My throat has been singing non-stop for three hours, and it's... cough cough cough, smoking!"
"It's smoking and you're still talking. Don't start a fire and burn everything."
Bassist Sui Ge casually picked up a bottle of mineral water from the ground and threw it over, "Come, put out the fire."
The water was thrown high into the air, but Xiao Dan didn't catch it. He smiled and cursed, "I'm like this and you're still bullying me!"
Sui Ge retorted, "You loser." The atmosphere in the band was particularly harmonious. It was not enough for him to scold alone, so he pulled Meng Ye to join in, "Aye, Dan Dan can't even catch the water, do you think he is a loser, hahahahahaha."
Meng Ye didn't say anything and was distracted. Sui Ge pushed him again before he reacted and asked what was wrong.
Sui Ge seemed to know something. He put his arm around his shoulders and whispered mysteriously, "Are you still reminiscing about it? If I were face to face with such a beautiful woman, let alone reminiscing about it, I would give her my life!"
"Life-giving literature, right?"
"I'm serious!"
"It's worth your effort. You even added this fan interaction." Sui Ge sighed.
It is said to be a welfare of fan entertainment broadcast, but in fact it was added temporarily on purpose, and the random selection of people was also designated by insiders. The target is Meng Ye, and no matter how random the selection is, only Quezhan will be chosen.
He arranged it in advance.
Knowing that she likes grapes, Pocky also has her favorite grape flavor.
And rings.
The ring he wore on his left hand was worn on his right hand when he met her in the cafe. Although it was also on the ring finger, it was not obvious.
This time, taking advantage of the concert, he wore it on his left hand, and it was deliberate that he raised his hands to hold her neck. The two silver rings appeared on the same screen at the same time, both on the ring finger of the left hand. In front of 200,000 fans -
she married him.
He often wondered why he was not the one who married her, and what made him inferior to Xie Xianshen.
His intentions were pathological and his means were despicable, and after achieving his goal, he was dissatisfied with the status quo.
He wanted to take her to his side. She couldn't look at other men, couldn't smile at other men, and couldn't have sex or make love with other men.
"Don't pay attention to her." Meng Ye said in a deep voice, and the temperature in his eyes instantly cooled down.
But when He Quezhan sent the message, all the sinister and vicious intentions attached to him were hidden without any trace.
He was very good at disguising himself and pretending to be a good person in front of her.
Z: [See you at the gymnasium entrance in ten minutes. 】
-
"Meng Ye wants to treat us to a meal."
Quezhan saw the WeChat message Meng Ye sent to her, and asked Xunang before replying: "Do you want to go? I'm a little hungry too, so let's have a midnight snack, shall we?"
"Zou Qi?!" Xunang was deaf, and suddenly heard the name of her ex-boyfriend, and responded as if facing a great enemy, "Where is he?"
After the two broke up, Zou Qi was unwilling to let his two-year relationship with Xunang end so abruptly. This man was like a dog-skin plaster that could not be torn off, and he was very persistent. Some time ago, he would pop up in front of Xunang like a ghost from time to time to refresh his presence, which disturbed his mood and delayed his work.
Once, fortunately Pei Mo appeared in time to save the situation, and Zou Qi did not dare to do anything rash.
"What stage has your relationship with Pei Mo reached?"
Quezhan was not interested in other people's gossip, but he had to know something about his childhood friend's gossip. "I wanted to ask you that time with Qing'ai, you joined a game with someone right after you met. Aren't you afraid that the man would set a trap for you?"
Xun Ang answered both questions: "Probably, more than friendship, but less than lovers. No, he is not that kind of person."
Ambiguous period.
"..."
Quezhan was helpless but spoiled. Xunang had just experienced a failed relationship not long ago, and she was really worried that she would fall into it again.
It's okay.
If that man dares to cheat on her, she will cover for him.
"I secretly brought you from Beijing to Shanghai. Does he know?" Quezhan replied to Meng Ye and turned off his phone after typing, "Don't blame me for your crimes."
"I don't know. Don't worry. No one knows about our trip this time."
"Why do you feel so secretly?"
They were clearly watching the concert openly. One of them has a husband and the other has an affair. What would happen if they knew?
But she just didn't want Xie Xianshen to know where she was. He lied to her and tried to trick her. Why should she tell him that she was in Shanghai? If there was anything, he could handle it himself.
But Xunang forgot one thing, she and Pei Mo had shared their cell phone location.
"Sister Zhanzhan!"
The meeting place was at the back door of the stadium. There were too many fans at the front door, making it difficult to leave.
Meng Ye came with the band members, but I only have a vague impression of them. The bassist and drummer of Harmony, the keyboardist and guitarist did not come with them.
"Hello, sisters."
Sui Ge and Xiao Dan greeted them politely. Meng Ye said that the keyboardist and guitarist had something urgent to do and left after the concert.
This meal was also a gathering to celebrate the successful completion of the concert.
"I saw other people's concerts had singing and dancing. Don't you arrange this segment?" Quezhan didn't realize that he was asking a stupid question.
Meng Ye didn't think this question was stupid. Instead, he thought the person who asked the question was very cute.
He smiled and said: "Harmony is a band, not an idol."
Idols need to be good at singing and dancing.
oh.
They are a band.
"If you want to see it, it's possible at the next concert." Meng Ye leaned over and fell into her eyes again.
Just like the look she gave him in the audience, her eyes were filled with stars.
The meal was at a Thai restaurant.
Just as she sat down, she felt her cell phone ringing. The phone number displayed was an unfamiliar number. She didn't recognize it, and it was not from Beijing. The word "sales" was marked at the front of the number.
Xunang asked her who was calling, but she hung up: "It's a sales call, ignore it."
In order not to ruin the atmosphere, she set the phone to silent mode.
"Nullifying phone calls are the most annoying. They keep calling even if you don't answer. It's not even the end of the year yet, so why are you pushing for such tight KPIs? It's not like I'm in a hurry to be reborn." Xiao Dan was very outgoing and started with a joke to liven up the atmosphere.
The chat atmosphere became more harmonious.
"Sister Quezhan, you look about the same age as us."
The more Xiao Dan looked at Quezhan, the less he felt that she was much older than them. Her eyebrows and eyes were lightly powdered, and the corners of her eyes were slightly raised. When she looked at him, she was like a charming enchantress.
People who know how to talk can always make people happy, Que Zhan smiled: "How old do you think I am?"
Xiao Dan: "Since you call me sister, I am at most one month older than us! Suisui, Aye and I, our birthdays are in the same month, but the day and month are different."
Xun Ang chuckled silently on the side. He is still young and has a sweet mouth.
No wonder the age limit for male models in the bar is under 25 years old. With their sweet words, they can make the sisters more willing to spend money than the other.
"Married."
Although Que Zan didn't want to use the topic of marriage as an argument, establishing a married persona for himself would save him a lot of unnecessary trouble. "Not as young as you said."
Sui Ge paused and turned to face Meng Ye with an incredible look on his face.
His expression remained unchanged, but his inner thoughts were deafening: Brother, are you still attracted to someone who’s already married? !
If you know three things, you can take three things at once. This is just a way to pry open the wall!
Sui Ge also immediately understood why Meng Ye wore a ring on the ring finger of his left hand. If there really was such a guy, he would do anything to get the person, right?
"Drink some water, or it'll get cold." Meng Ye indicated that the water in front of Sui Ge was cold, implying that he wanted to shut his mouth.
After three rounds of drinks, we got excited.
Xiao Dan suggested playing a truth or dare game by spinning the bottle. Whoever the bottle points to has to tell everyone something that they have done but no one else has done. Those who have not done it will automatically admit their mistake and drink.
"I'll spin the bottle!" Xiao Dan volunteered.
The emerald green wine bottle lay on its side on the table, circling non-stop. Finally, the inertia released its force, and the first round was directed at Quezhan.
It was too simple. No one present had ever done what she was about to say.
"I'm married."
"..."
The whole audience was silent.
Xun Ang came back to his senses: "Baby! You are cheating!"
"What kind of cheating is that?" Quezhan had a reason and raised his left hand. The silver ring was vivid under the light: "Fact."
Her married personality made her the winner in the first game. Quezhan was in a good mood. Everyone on the field had to drink except her, and no one could find an excuse to escape.
The light from the silver ring flashed and slightly passed through Meng Ye's eyes.
The ring she is wearing now is very troublesome.
Because it's not his.
In the second round, the person favored by fate was Meng Ye.
Sui Ge was surprised at the result where the bottle mouth was pointing, and thought to himself, what a coincidence.
This time it was not like the concert where the insider decided that the first round was Que Zhan and the second round was Meng Ye. There is something mysterious about the fate between the two.
He also expected that Meng Ye would say something "explosive" in front of his sweetheart.
The young man drank a glass of strong wine, put the glass down, thought, and suddenly said in a flash: "I have never been in love."
"Damn it!"
"What's the matter, Master Meng, you are already 23 and still so innocent!"
Xiao Dan and Sui Ge talked to each other, quite shocked.
In the band, work time takes up more than chatting time. As outsiders, they don’t know much about whether Meng Ye is romantic or not.
It is shocking that she has never been in a relationship at the age of 23. The only person who did not want to drink, except Meng Ye, was Que Zhan, and she had no intention of drinking at all.
Sui Ge was shocked several times in one day and needed Speed Heart Pills to save his life.
Getting married without dating, city people really know how to have fun!
Meng Ye was happy but also jealous when he saw that she didn't drink.
In other words, Xie Xianshen was the first man she chose to marry.
The growing depression factor devoured his heart, and he was extremely unhappy, "I'll add another condition. Although it hasn't been done yet, everyone present can serve as a witness, and it will be effective forever."
"It doesn't matter whether the person I like likes me or uses me. You can play with me any way you want."
The young man looked straight at Quezhan, his eyelashes dropped, and when he raised his eyes again, the tiny floating light and shadows stained his eyelashes, his very handsome eyes, but for no reason they were filled with poison.
He said, "I can die for her."
On the field, only Quezhan did not touch the wine glass.
She smiled knowingly. Meng Ye had a strong desire to win. He provoked her and added such a heavy condition to make her drink.
She doesn't have anyone she likes, and there's no way she'd lose her life for someone who doesn't exist.
She loves herself very much.
Okay, she loses this game.
"You win."
But she circled the glass and drank it all in one gulp. Perhaps she drank too quickly. Her throat was narrow, and the clear wine flowed from the corners of her lips to her cheeks and chin, then slid down along the line of her neck over her neck. The liquid stuck to her skin, leaving marks, and finally sank into her collarbone hidden under her pure white clothes.
The clothes are light in color and thin, made of chiffon fabric, and the two completely different colors create a faint halo.
bra seems to be hidden but not hidden.
She is very attractive.
This was the only thing Meng Ye thought of.
If he had appeared in her world earlier, he wanted to know whether she would choose him as her husband.
What should he do to get her.
-It
started raining when we came out of the restaurant, and during the half hour we got to the hotel, the rain showed no sign of stopping.
Shanghai is located in the south, and the rainy season starts in April, what a coincidence.
Que Zhan and Xun Ang booked a presidential suite, which was spacious and perfect for two people.
After a whole day of running around Disney and concerts, the two of them tacitly took a shower and planned to go to bed early.
There are two bathrooms in the room.
At that time, Quezhan had just come out of the shower and didn't have much luggage to pack, so she picked out the same clothes as she would wear today as pajamas, in the same color and brand new.
Xunang said she could choose any clothes she wanted, but Zhan joked that her nightgown was too revealing and she didn't know who she was wearing it for.
"I'm going to beat you up!"
Xun Ang puffed up her cheeks and pouted, and acted clingy and coquettish in front of Que Zan. Everyone knew that she was a proud beauty with a fickle heart and a vicious nature outside.
Quezhan sat at the table, opened his notebook, and looked at the work arrangements for the Encre series.
It is convenient to log in to WeChat on the computer. After the login is successful, a new prompt pops up in the corner and my mother sends a question.
Mother: [Where did you go? Xianshen said you were not at home. 】
They all complained to Ms. Bai.
Quezhan thought so and replied: [He filed a complaint? 】
Mom:【I asked. 】
Mom: [You ran around again without even telling your family. Your dad and I are so worried about you. 】
Freiheit:【AngAng and I are together, it's okay. 】
The third time Ms. Bai asked her where she was, she confessed that she was in Shanghai, and told Ms. Bai not to worry, as she was too old to have to submit an application to go out.
Switching to the main chat interface, Xunang's phone, which was placed aside, rang.
Que Zhan reminded: "Angang, your phone is calling."
Xunang pushed open the bathroom door and came out of the shower. The note displayed made her pause, "It's Pei Mo."
"Answer it."
"If he calls and asks me where I am..."
"Then..."
"Beep--" the phone was hung up.
Then, a message came the next second. Xun Ang just took a look and hurried downstairs, "Baby, I'm going out first."
What's the urgent matter?
Que Zhan didn't think much about it and continued to deal with work messages. When she turned off the silent mode on her phone, she was shocked.
Seventeen calls were all made to her by Xie Xianshen.
"Knock knock."
Quezhan thought that Xunang was in too much of a hurry and forgot to bring something. The door opened, and a tall dark figure spread from her head to her toes through the gap in the door.
Backlight reason.
The outline of his face was half bright and half dark, and she vaguely thought that she had seen the wrong person, but the dampness and low humidity that came towards her brought in the cold air and enveloped her, penetrating every pore, leaving her with no way to retreat.
"Xie Xianshen?"
How did he know she was in Shanghai, and how did he find her current room.
"How did you..."
"Is it important?"
he interrupted her coldly.
There were water droplets in the man's hair and a layer of water on both sides of his shoulders, it was obvious that he had been caught in the rain.
Before she could finish her words, he raised his hand and pressed on the half-open door, took a step towards her, leaned over slightly and broke into her territory with a very strong attitude.
While she was dazed, she missed the chance to intercept him, "What are you doing in here..."
Xie Xianshen did not answer this question. He stared at her with his dark eyes in silence. He found it ridiculous to see her frowning and still looking like she wanted to confront him.
After a long time, he spoke: "Why don't you answer the phone."
"I'm not to the point where I have to report to you for everything I do." Quezhan retorted, "Didn't you lie to me too?"
"Nacht is obviously not sick, but you said it was on a hunger strike. I want to know what your intention is."
She saw the message and deliberately didn't reply to him.
Looking down, Que Zhan noticed the paper bag in Xie Xianshen's hand. The bag contained something that looked like a gift box, thin and wide.
She didn't know what it was.
The next moment, the laptop WeChat prompts that a video call is incoming.
Quezhan turned around and saw that the person who made the call was Meng Ye.
She understood the current situation clearly. Xie Xianshen came to see her with a mess that had not been resolved and she didn't want outsiders to disturb her.
Just as she was about to hang up, her body was suddenly pulled by a force and she slipped away and answered the call.
She and Xie Xianshen appeared on the screen.
The man put one hand around her waist to restrain her, and the other hand slowly floated over her neck to circle around her. His slender finger bones added strength to strangle her. The hardness of the ring made her breath choke.
Quezhan instinctively wanted to escape, struggle and resist, but the opposite happened and she was completely trapped in his control.
No match for him, like a bird in a cage.
"You're crazy..."
"Zhanzhan!" Meng Ye was on the other side of the screen. Because of the screen between them, he could only watch and could not do anything. "Where are you? Send me a location quickly..."
noisy.
Xie Xian lowered his eyes, and his left palm moved down a little on her neck, revealing the silver ring on his ring finger.
On the outer edge of the ring, the Möbius ring left a mark, emitting a dazzling light.
Telling Meng Ye - a fake is a fake. No matter how you disguise it, it is still a fake and worthless.
Meng Ye seemed to understand what he meant.
It was as if someone had hit me on the head, and everything was silent for a moment.
The two men's cold gazes confronted each other. To Meng Ye, Xie Xian was sarcastic and reserved every word he spoke.
"Get lost."
He then slapped the notebook shut and the call was terminated.
