lure her into deep

The truth is always heartbreaking and harsh.

Cen Jia sniffed and looked up at him, her expression full of stubbornness: "Please don't curse him! He must still be alive."

Zhang Yifeng swallowed the chocolate in his mouth and reminded her: "Do you want to treat the injury on your face? It would be bad if it leaves a scar."

"Just keep it." With all the bad guys gone, who will she show off her beauty to? Cen Jia grinned and cried again.

Zhang Yifeng looked at her silently, took out a cigarette and lit it between his lips.

He and Zhou Heng have been brothers for so many years, and they have barely ever slept in the same bed. To be honest, he feels bad now. If he could cry, he would also want to cry.

After smoking a cigarette, Zhang Yifeng sat cross-legged next to Cen Jia.

"I know you feel uncomfortable, but people have to face reality."

Cen Jia chatted and didn't answer.

"There are some things I think I should tell you."

Cen Jia turned to look at him with tears in her eyes: "What's the matter?"

"Zhou Heng made a will when he had a brain tumor..."

When Cen Jia heard these two words, she suddenly felt her chest tightening and short of breath: "Stop talking. I told you not to curse him!" By the end of the sentence, she could hardly hold back her emotions.

Zhang Yifeng frowned slightly, but his tone was calm: "Cen Jia, you have to prepare for the worst."

"Zhou Heng's will is with his personal lawyer. Half of the company shares he holds, as well as all the personal property in his name, will go to you and half to Shunli."

Cen Jia covered her face and her tears became more intense.

Zhang Yifeng's eyes also felt hot. The cigarette in his hand was burned out, so he lit another one: "Originally, I shouldn't talk too much about what happened between the two of you. But if I don't say it, he might not have the chance to tell you."

"Cen Jia, you don't know how much Zhou Heng likes you."

"When he was comatose due to a brain tumor, he only woke up by playing the audio of you talking. I know you always blamed him for breaking up with you and making you a joke in the circle. But he couldn't help it."

"He has never been angry with you about the feud between the Zhou and Cen families. Even at that time, he was not sure whether Uncle Cen had been involved in it."

"I know." Cen Jia wiped away the snot from her nose and her face became even more stained. "I didn't blame him." But she really regretted it. Why didn't she agree to his proposal? If he really had an emergency, she wouldn't be able to send him off as his legal spouse.

Zhang Yifeng's voice continued, as if he was speaking to her, but also as if he was talking to himself: "You must not know that Zhou Heng is actually a coward."

"He had a crush on you when he was a teenager, but he didn't dare to tell you that he liked you. He just watched you following Shen Xu like a licking dog all day long. He was so angry every day that he didn't forget to stuff snacks into your desk. …”

"Did he stuff Shang Haojia?" Cen Jia suddenly asked.

"Ah."

"I knew it!" she choked with tears, "How did he do it without being noticed?"

Zhang Yifeng shook his head: "I don't know. I only know that he changed the school's surveillance video."

"Dog man."

"He also designed "Ideal Paradise" for you..."

Cen Jia turned her head suddenly, her eyes full of surprise.

The two looked at each other, and Zhang Yifeng nodded: "I didn't lie to you. He didn't know where he heard your voice at first, so he worked overtime and started writing programs all night long when he got back. He said he wanted to create an ideal world for you. …”

Cen Jia opened her mouth to say something, but was speechless at that moment.

That was indeed her ideal world.

Flowers, trees, house decoration, landscape colors...all are her aesthetic. Even every event weighs on her heart.

She was still thinking about how the game planner fit her own ideas so well, but this virtual world was created just for her.

What did Cen Jia think of: "He...does he also play this game? What is his ID?"

Zhang Yifeng didn't know why she suddenly became excited. He just shook his head slightly: "He didn't tell me."

Zhou Heng is very strict in some aspects. Unless brothers like them are needed, they will never tell the details of their dog licking. If he knows this, he already knows a lot of secrets.

Cen Jia was a little dizzy. There was a slight pain in her chest, and her whole heart felt like it was filled with sourness.

Any questions? She knew without anyone else answering that Zhou Heng must be her boss neighbor.

She never knew about his admiration, but he created a world for her and silently accompanied her throughout her youth.

"He..." her voice trembled, tears streaming down her face, "What else has he done?"

Naturally, I have done many, many things... Those love and affections that have been buried deep in the years can't be finished in three days and three nights.

Cen Jia didn't want to listen to other people's stories anymore. She wiped away her tears casually, picked up the shovel she had thrown down, and rejoined the rescue team.

She wanted to find him and hear him say that he loved her.

She didn't believe Zhou Heng would die. The scourge has lasted for thousands of years. He is such a big scourge that even the King of Hell would not dare to stop him.

Households in the village were scattered, and the search and rescue front was also stretched.

Fortunately, the relevant departments gradually sent more rescue teams and medical teams.

Judging from the current situation, the casualties are much smaller than expected.

However, two-thirds of the excavation and search and rescue work was carried out, and Zhou Heng and his group were still not found.

It’s true that you can’t see people alive, and you can’t see corpses even if they are dead.

Cen Jia has gone from despair to numbness.

Reason told her that after so many days, the possibility of Zhou Heng and the others surviving was almost zero. But in my heart, I kept brainwashing myself: No news is good news.

The turning point came on the third day of the search and rescue.

The communication base station in the next village has been repaired, and weak signals have been restored to mobile phones here.

Cen Jia briefly made a video call to her father and son. After hanging up, he was about to go to the back mountain to continue digging work when his cell phone rang again.

The ringing only lasted a few seconds before the signal was lost. But Zhou Heng’s name was displayed on the screen. What followed was an influx of text messages, with only four words in content: [Halfway up the mountain behind. 】

For a few seconds, Cen Jia thought he had seen it wrong. She closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, the text messages were still there, as were the call records.

The pulse behind his ears was thunderous, and his breathing was stagnant due to excessive tension. It wasn't until the feeling of lack of oxygen and suffocation hit her that she remembered to breathe.

A large amount of fresh air rushed into her lungs, making her cough.

Cen Jia called back with trembling hands, but there was a notification tone from the receiver that the call could not be connected temporarily.

But this is enough.

Zhou Heng is still alive. Waiting for her rescue in the corners that have not yet been searched.

Tears slid down the corners of my mouth unconsciously.

Cen Jia shouted incoherently at a group of people not far away: "Zhang Yifeng, back mountain... halfway up the back mountain, Zhou Heng is still alive! He is still alive!"

The sound spread far and wide in the valley, attracting the attention of many people.

She saw Zhang Yifeng's expression ranging from dull to shocked. She also saw the flash of tears in Zhao Zhinan's eyes.

The mountain breeze blew, brushing against the woman's tear-stained cheeks.

The midday sun shines through the clouds, and there is finally warmth in the air.

Cen Jia kicked away the stones at her feet and ran towards the back hill first. She wanted to find Zhou Heng as soon as possible and tell him that she was willing to be his bride.

Those silent protection and following finally had an echo.

This time, it was her turn to attack him with all her strength.

——End of text——

The main text ends here. There will be two extra chapters later that will add some plot points. It took me so long to write this book, and I got hit twice in the middle, which can be considered a stumbling block. Thank you all for your support and love, and thank you for following along~
