Rose Manor

Lingcheng, as its name suggests, is surrounded by mountains of all sizes.

There is a mountain among them, which is called the "Eye of Death" by the locals because of its extremely steep terrain.There is a road winding up the mountain. On one side is a steep cliff with the endless sea at the bottom. On the other side is a rocky mountain wall with large tracts of lush pine trees planted on the ridge.

When the wind blows, there are bursts of pines.

Anyone who drives by here is always on tenterhooks, fearing that they might accidentally fall off the cliff or hit the mountain wall.The former may have no bones left, while the latter may be shattered into pieces. Either way is tragic.

Despite repeated care, accidents cannot be avoided, and there are several car accidents every year.As time went by, the news became too lazy to report it.

There happens to be a group of people who are not afraid of death and like to come here for excitement.

The sports car rushed towards the unknown distance amidst the loud sound of the engine. Colorful fireworks were set off on the roadside, accompanied by the screams of the onlookers, heightening the atmosphere to the highest level.

This is not Pei Che's first time here.

Every time he appears, he will definitely cause commotion among men and women, admiration from men and infatuation from women.

He drove a modified dark blue supercar, which was much faster than ordinary sports cars. Once the engine started, the soul-shaking roar could be heard halfway up the mountain.

"Master Pei! Master Pei! Master Pei!"

"Brothers, Pei Shaoke said that whoever wins the championship today will get his multi-million-dollar sports car."

"Huh—"

"Young Master Pei is so generous!"

Several cars stopped at the starting line, and the men shouted Pei Che's name at the top of their lungs with excitement.As for him, he had just finished calling someone, said only one sentence, then turned off his phone and threw it into the car through the open window.

He leaned his back on the car and looked up at the distant night sky. The noise around him was automatically blocked, and only the soft voice remained in his ears - Pei Che, is that you?
Pei Che's eyes turned red the moment he heard her voice. He closed his eyes and recalled it over and over again. Even her tone made him miss it so much.

But she doesn't belong to him anymore.

Pei Che's slightly bulging Adam's apple rolled, and he swallowed a bitter mouthful, unaware of the moisture in the corners of his eyes.

"Master Pei." Among the crowd of onlookers, a woman saw his depressed and frustrated look, and her heart was plucked. She stepped forward boldly, holding a cigarette and lighter in her hand, "Want to smoke? It can relieve fatigue. "

Pei Che raised his eyelids and glanced over, making the woman's heart beat faster.

How could someone in this world have a handsome and sunny face, but his eyes are so lonely and gray, as if there is no life in them.

The woman's mind was swaying, she was becoming more and more fascinated by him, and she also wanted him to fall in love with her.She lightly pursed her red lips, took out a cigarette from the cigarette case and handed it to his lips.

Pei Che's eyes suddenly turned cold and he turned his head to avoid her touch.

The woman's fingertips stained with red nail polish paused, and she retracted them coyly. She knew that a young man from a top family like him had a lot of arrogance in him, so he couldn't easily seize her, so she raised a bright smile: " Good luck."

A life and death battle begins.

Pei Che opened the car door and got into the cab, pulled on the seat belt and tied it in front of him, staring at the dark mountain road ahead with lifeless eyes.

The street lights are very bright, but it seems so lonely in the mountains.

"Are you ready? Three, two, one -"

The sound of whistles pierced the sky, and several sports cars drove away from the starting point one after another, rushing out like arrows from a string.

The championship prize worth tens of millions is in front of them, and the temptation is huge. The contestants are more desperate than before, accelerating crazily and overtaking, with only the end in their eyes.

Pei Che rushed to the front, followed by a red sports car less than ten meters behind. He stepped hard on the accelerator and turned the steering wheel flexibly.

As one bend passes, the next one follows closely, leaving almost no time for breathing.

The red car behind was chasing after him, and after passing another corner, the distance between the two cars was getting closer and closer.

The front of the car was about to reach the rear, and the red sports car took aim at the opportunity and prepared to pass.

Pei Che's car was on the outer edge of the road, next to a cliff. He had to slow down if he didn't want to be hit, but he didn't slow down. He didn't let go of the accelerator, and his speed reached the limit.

The moment the front of the car crashed through the guardrail and rushed out, there was no expression of panic or fear on his face, and he even felt relieved.

It was promised that one life was worth one life, but what to do, he only had one life.

A sharp braking sound sounded, and the red sports car stopped on the road. The inertia caused by the sudden braking made the man in the driver's seat fall forward suddenly, and then slammed back into the back of the seat.

His brain was buzzing, and the man looked at the scene of people and cars falling off the cliff with horror in his eyes, and his face turned pale.

At one o'clock in the morning, Shen Jianian stood by the bed, feeling cold all over. He called Pei Che's phone over and over again, but the phone was turned off.The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became. The words "I love you" that Pei Che said on the phone were as distant as misty clouds. It didn't sound like a confession, but more like saying goodbye to her.

Shen Jia Nian was too nervous, and belatedly discovered that the half cup of warm water had been held in her hand and she had forgotten to drink it. It was already cold, and the fingers holding the cup were slightly sore.

She placed the water glass on the bedside table, but accidentally put it down, causing the glass to fall and hit the floor.

There was a crisp "pop" sound, and it broke into several pieces, with water splashing to the ankles.

Shen Jianian put the phone on the bed, squatted down, picked up the broken glass, and wrapped it in a few paper towels.

At this moment, the door of the room was pushed open from the outside. Fu Jichen strode over and saw Shen Jia Nian squatting beside the bed picking up glass. His brows suddenly furrowed: "What are you doing?"

He had just finished his work and came out of the study. He heard the sound of a glass breaking in her room, so he came over to take a look.If not, should she pick up the glass from the floor?

Fu Jichen held one of her hands and pulled her up: "Did you get stabbed?"

Shen Jia Nian's face was pale, but it was okay not to mention it. When he said it, she suddenly felt a little pain in her fingertips. When she lowered her head, she saw a little blood droplet emerging from the pad of her index finger.

"The light is not good at night, why are you picking up broken glass? Do you have any brains?!" Fu Jichen was so angry that he spoke without hesitation. After saying these ruthless words, he hesitated for a second and saw that Shen Jianian's expression was not good, so he calmed down. The tone was, "Come sleep with me next door."

If she accidentally steps on it, she will be the one to suffer.

Shen Jia Nian was like a puppet pulled by him to the bedroom next door.

All the overhead lights were turned on. In the too bright light, the confused expression on her face was clearly visible. Fu Jichen glanced at her and asked softly: "Why are you so careless?"

Shen Jianian's lips were a little dry and he sipped them: "I had a nightmare. I got up to drink water and didn't pay attention..."

She spoke very quietly, like a child who had done something wrong.

Fu Jichen sighed, took a clean cup, took a cup of warm water and handed it to her hand: "Sit down and drink some water first, and I'll find a band-aid."

Shen Jia Nian was sitting on the bedside holding a cup. His cut finger was curled up. The blood was flowing more and more, and the wound was deeper than imagined.

Fu Jichen took the elevator to the living room and rummaged through the boxes and cabinets to find the medicine box. He didn't usually need these. The nanny at home was responsible for packing them and he didn't know where to put them.

The commotion woke up Cheng Jin in the servant's room. She put on a thick coat and came out: "Sir, what are you looking for?"

Fu Jichen straightened up and put one hand on his waist. His brows and eyes were full of annoyance: "Where is the medicine box?"

As soon as he heard that he was looking for the medicine box, Cheng Jin's brain suddenly woke up. He hurriedly walked over, opened the drawer under the cupboard, and took out a transparent storage box: "What happened? Do you need my help?"

"It's okay, you can go to sleep." Fu Jichen took the medicine box and then thought about the broken glass in Shen Jia Nian's room that had not been dealt with. "Jia Nian broke a cup. Please clean her room carefully tomorrow, especially the one next to the bed." .”

Cheng Jin nodded: "I understand."

Fu Jichen returned to the bedroom on the third floor. Shen Jia Nian was still in the same position as when he left. The water in the water glass was empty, but she still held the glass and refused to let go.

"What nightmare did you have?" He took the cup away and put it on the table, sat next to her, dipped a cotton swab in iodine to disinfect the wound, and then put a band-aid on it.

Shen Jianian shook his head: "I can't remember clearly."

Hearing this, Fu Jichen raised his eyes and looked back and forth on her face. If he couldn't remember clearly, could he be so lost that he accidentally broke the cup?
It was already very late, so he didn't ask too many questions. He went to the bathroom to wash his hands and carried her to the bed to rest.

"Go to sleep, dreams are all false, I'm by your side." Fu Jichen stroked her back, his palms were warm and generous, with a soothing meaning.

Shen Jianian found a comfortable position in his arms and closed her eyes, hoping that the dream was false.

Even with this psychological suggestion, she still couldn't sleep well that night and was always in a state of half-dream and half-awake.If only the brain could be forced to shut down...

Until daybreak, Fu Jichen got up and prepared to go to the company. He noticed that the people around him were moving. Knowing that she was awake, he touched her face and said in a hoarse voice: "If your hand is injured, don't practice the piano. Stay at home for two days." "

Shen Jianian responded vaguely.

"I'm going to the company, call me if you need anything."

Fu Jichen confessed and went to the cloakroom to change. After a while, he came out dressed in formal clothes. He didn't let her tie him a tie. He arranged it himself, leaned over and kissed her on the cheek, and left the room.

Shen Jia Nian couldn't sleep, so he reached out of the quilt and touched the pillow, remembering that his phone was next door.

She got out of bed, put on her slippers, and went to her room to get her cell phone. She found several missed calls, all of which were from Bai Changxia half an hour ago.

Shen Jia Nian was about to call back when another call came in and she quickly picked it up.

"Jianian, have you read the news?" Bai Changxia asked anxiously, "Pei Che was racing at the Eye of Death last night and fell into the sea in an accident. His life and death are still uncertain."
