She looked around and saw darkness beyond the streetlights.
The sleeping pills gave her a headache and made her brain confused.
The darkness in front of me was virtual and real.
But the wind is free.
Tang Qingwan looked up at the road sign. There were still thirty kilometers to the next stop.
Li Jiangyuan is still kind-hearted...it's not far or close, enough for her to walk into a pot.
She sniffed, put her bag in her pocket, and started the long journey.
After walking for about half an hour, a sapphire blue sports car stopped behind her.
The headlights illuminated her and the road in front of her.
The footsteps coming against the light were quick and familiar.
She lowered her hand to block the light.
Turning around, I was instantly wrapped in a warm, fluffy cotton-padded jacket.
Tang Qingwan staggered back two steps, the hands around her waist helping her to stand firm.
The sound of the beating heart was amplified and the breathing was stopped.
The familiar embrace made her startled slightly, and her light brown eyes were covered with a layer of water mist, and they were lively and gleaming, exposing her heartbeat to the night.
This is the real Li Xingye.
Not a dream, not her own imagination.
He is really holding her...
"I'm so cold." Li Xingye laughed brightly and smoothed her hair.
Seeing that she didn't respond, he scratched the tip of her nose that was red with his fingertips.
He lowered his head and stuffed her into the cotton-padded jacket, while not forgetting to complain: "Like a penguin."
Li Xingye put her hands into the sleeves of his cotton-padded jacket, held her wrist through the padded jacket, and pulled her toward the parking lot.
Tang Qingwan saw that his hands were also red from the cold, and his joints were white.
"I said who has the ability to make the second sister condescend."
Li Xingye fastened her seat belt and raised his hand to test whether the heater vent was hot.
"It's nothing between her and me."
Tang Qingwan blinked, not expecting him to answer directly.
She was not curious, but the next sentence was——
"What benefit did you give her?"
Li Xingye curled his lips and smiled but said nothing.
But Tang Qingwan felt that he was laughing at her again.
But she wanted to ask something else, but stopped talking.
Li Xingye said it himself: "I've only been away for a while, and you want to go back on your word again?"
Tang Qingwan frowned and recalled seriously: "How could I go back on my word?"
Besides, this is her home, okay!
However, she also confirmed one thing, everything that happened last night really happened.
The fact that he didn't mention it meant that he didn't take the situation seriously either.
He continued the topic: "You said you would consider cooperating with me."
She said a perfunctory "hmm". He didn't ask her what happened today, but instead brought up this boring question.
I feel like I'm running out of words to talk to.
But Li Xingye seemed annoyed by her perfunctory attitude, and asked instead: "What do you want to eat?"
"Not hungry."
The thought of food made her want to vomit.
She buried half of her face in her cotton-padded jacket, filled with his breath.
The inner depression seemed to be relieved a lot.
"Um."
Li Xingye responded every word, but his words were much less.
She somehow felt that he just didn't want to ask.
Such a good opportunity to ridicule her, why should he be so silent?
He was too lazy to be sarcastic, and she was too lazy to find fault. She simply didn't want to make things worse.
"Where are we going?" This was not the direction she was heading home.
"We." Li Xingye read these two words and smiled playfully, "Since it's all us, of course we have to go back to our home."
Tang Qingwan sneered lightly and leaned back, her tense state gradually relaxing without her realizing it.
"How can a person who lives in hotels and clubs all day have a home?"
Li Xingye's slender fingers rested on the steering wheel casually, tapping lightly every now and then.
The Buddhist beads on the wrist exude a quiet light.
"My sister-in-law stabbed me with a knife before I even asked for interest. She was really not merciless at all."
Not to mention that she is not soft-hearted, her heart will not be soft either: "Since you know that I am a snake-hearted person, don't think that I will repay the kindness. Otherwise, I have no sense of where to stick the next knife."
His light ink-colored eyes were tinged with a hint of tenderness in the gloom.
He could dodge all the knives thrust at him, except her.
"Don't hide."
He's serious again.
"You have masochistic tendencies, and I'm not happy to be Aunt Rong." Tang Qingwan distanced herself, leaning against the car window, and glanced at him with disgust, "Pervert..."
The car drove in an unfamiliar direction, and Tang Qingwan felt chilly.
Sitting in a heated car, a chill spread from my toes to my limbs.
She suddenly came to her senses.
Shanyue Manor.
What she wants to go back to is her own home... Why did she end up at Shanyue Manor?
While chatting, he got carried away and he even forgot to mention going home.
"You're kidding me." Tang Qingwan frowned.
Li Xingye had already gotten out of the car, walked around to the side of the passenger seat, and opened the door.
He tilted his head, raised his eyebrows slightly, and glanced at her kitten-like face and her red and swollen eyes.
She was wearing his cotton-padded jacket, which was too big and wrapped her up like a rice dumpling.
Underfoot is a pair of slippers with a more unexpected style.
Li Xingye couldn't help laughing.
Compared with her usual coldness and alienation, Tang Qingwan was more real at this time.
"Come down."
Tang Qingwan remained motionless, looking vigilant and defensive.
Li Xingye shrugged, turned around, put his pocket in his pocket and left, as if he really didn't care about her.
Tang Qingwan's light brown eyes looked around cautiously.
There are lights on the road, at least there is light.
It's dark and cold here.
The cold wind penetrated her collar, and there was the shrill sound of jackdaws in the forest in the distance.
Tang Qingwan shuddered.
Li Xingye was originally wearing black clothes, and the further he walked, the blurry his back became.
"Li...Li Xingye..."
She got out of the car decisively and ran to catch up with him.
"Li Xingye, wait for me!"
Li Xingye ignored her, but slowed down.
Tang Qingwan caught up with him and pressed her shoulders tightly against him, causing him to stumble two steps. His cotton-padded jacket was also wrinkled by her.
Li Xingye curled his lips and smiled, his light-black eyes glancing at the joke.
"Is there a ghost?"
The cold wind slid across the skin of her neck, and she immediately shrank her neck, burying her head in her collar like an ostrich, with only two round eyes exposed, busyly scanning the dark surroundings.
The fear of ghosts had completely made her forget how tough she had been just now.
Li Xingye deliberately teased her and pulled her hand: "Sister-in-law isn't going home?"
Tang Qingwan immediately pressed forward, grabbing his clothes with both hands, fearing that he would push her away again.
"Don't be so petty."
Li Xingye put her cold hands in his pocket: "I don't care about cowards."
I'm afraid of those who lie to children.
Tang Qingwan felt her hands become a little warmer, and her uneasiness gradually subsided.
This manor is on the outskirts of the city, with good air and a quiet environment.
Riding on the starry night sky, two shadows closely approached the mansion.
Back at the villa, the housekeeper took Tang Qingwan to the room that had been prepared in advance, and then went out to prepare meals.
She sat on the bed and instantly relaxed. There was no strange smell in the room and it was very warm.
She accidentally escaped from house arrest at home, but he didn't mention anything about her family, let alone what happened last night.
Tang Qingwan gently put her hand on her chest.
Quietly feel the rhythm of your breathing.
Very normal.
Just like normal people.
If he wouldn't be used as a handle...
