Chapter 7 Chorus First Sentence

The first line of our refrain, or not I love you

Royal Coffee is the old place where Sheng Xia and Tan Jing usually get together, so as soon as Sheng Xia went upstairs, he walked directly to the direction of No. 6 private room.Pushing open the wooden sliding door, Tan Jing was already sitting inside.

"Busy man, you've come, one minute later I'm going to make a series of deadly calls!"

Tan Jing feigned anger.

Sheng Xia knew that she had always been a paper tiger, looked at the phone and raised a smile: "It's only one minute until seven o'clock, so you are the one who should be punished."

Tan Jing glared at her: "Forget it, I won't fight with you, I lose every time." She pushed a glass of latte over, "Well, even though you treat me poorly, I still ordered a large number of lattes for you. "

Sheng Xia couldn't help laughing: "Well, it's still Xiao Jingzi who wins my heart."

"What's the use of winning your heart, you're not a man!" Tan Jing gave her an angry look.

"Xiao Jingzi, I didn't say that, you should have obeyed me a long time ago, really." Sheng Xia joked, and tilted her head to look at Tan Jing.

Sure enough, Tan Jing waved her hands straight: "Go, go, my sister's sexuality has always been normal! Besides, if I really follow you, isn't your guy..."

046 Her words came to an abrupt end.Realizing her slip of the tongue, Tan Jing looked at Sheng Xia, whose face instantly dimmed, and hurriedly changed the subject: "I received a call from Yuan Jing a few days ago, she is getting married next month."

Sheng Xia was surprised: "Why didn't I hear her mention it before?"

"Flash marriage!" Tan Jing sighed again, "Oh, I always thought you would be the first one among the four of us to get married, but I didn't expect that it was Yuan Jing in the end."

In the past, Xu Yihui and Tan Jing got along very well. Sometimes Shengxia even couldn't laugh or cry, thinking that Xu Yihui was Tan Jing's best friend.They also often joked, telling them that they must be bridesmaids in midsummer when they marry Xu Yihui in the future.

Thinking of the jokes in the past when he was a student, Sheng Xia finally had some smiles on his face again:

"Originally, the plan couldn't keep up with the changes."

Tan Jing opened her mouth, but hesitated to speak, her eyes stared at Sheng Xia eagerly.Noticing her expression, Sheng Xia took a sip of latte, sat back slightly, and said, "Just say what you have."

"Xiao Xia... Well, you see that you and Gu Yingning are actually... right," she said in a vague way, while carefully watching Sheng Xia's expression, "Actually, have you ever thought about turning to the light..."

Sheng Xia sighed for a long time: "Xiao Jingzi, could it be that you are here to be a matchmaker today?"

"No, no!" Tan Jing quickly waved her hands, "I was entrusted by others to become a beauty, what, a dear friend recently wanted to find you but couldn't find you, he had no choice but to turn to me for help. You know Sister, this person always draws his sword to help in the face of injustice, so..."

Sheng Xia's watery eyes were slightly horizontal: "Are you acting in a costume drama?"

Tan Jing yelled out all in one breath: "Xu Yihui, he couldn't get through to you recently, went to your house to look for you and you weren't here, so there's nothing wrong with it, so let me help you out!"

Sheng Xia was silent, looking at Tan Jing without saying a word.Just when Tan Jing was about to feel nervous, she finally spoke with a slightly calm expression: "Where is he?"

Hearing that Sheng Xia didn't look angry, Tan Jing breathed a sigh of relief: "Just waiting outside."

Sheng Xia walked to the door, gently pushed the door open, and standing by the wall with a smile was Xu Yihui.Seeing Sheng Xia, he smiled gently: "A Xia, long time no see."

In fact, it didn't take long, just a week.Since I met Gu Yingning at dinner last time, maybe Gu Yingning's unexpected intrusion and the words that night made Sheng Xia upset, and Sheng Xia wanted to escape Xu Yihui for a while.I don't know if it's because I feel a little ashamed of Xu Yihui, or of Gu Yingning.

Squeezing out a shallow smile, Sheng Xia turned sideways to the door: "Come in."

When she turned around, Tan Jing had already walked to the door, carrying the Prada bag she had finally entrusted someone to bring back from abroad, and smiled obsequiously at Sheng Xia: "Well, Xiao Xia, I won't bother you to reminisce about the past, let's go first !” After finishing speaking, she disappeared like oil on the soles of her feet.

Xu Yihui smiled and shook his head: "This Tan Jing still looks like a crazy girl."

Sheng Xia pushed the Menu towards him: "See what you want to drink."

"No need." He looked at Sheng Xia opposite him, the girl who broke into his life with such an arrogant and unexpected attitude in his junior year.Although four years have passed, she still occupies almost all of his heart territory.

Concentrating, he said: "Asha, I just want to see you."

She was slightly stiff and did not move.

Xu Yihui still smiled and said: "I understand, you must feel a little uncomfortable now, but Axia, we used to be the closest lovers in this world, weren't we? Take a step back, even if you haven't prepared to start over Mentally prepared, then I just want to see you and know if you are doing well, is that okay?"

He spoke so softly, even there seemed to be a hint of pleading in his gentleness.Such Xu Yihui, she couldn't refuse at all, because Xu Yihui's gentleness has always been a poison that she can't quit and can't refuse.

Her throat was a little tight, Sheng Xia pursed her lips and nodded: "Yes."

"Actually, I am also very greedy. When I was in the United States, it was my greatest wish to see you even once again." Xu Yihui said, "But when I really saw you, I realized that I wanted more. A Xia, We never broke up because of a broken relationship, so give you, me, and us, a little more confidence, and I want us to get back together."

Xu Yihui said the last sentence very firmly.In his memory, he seldom spoke in such a tone, but once he did, he couldn't be more serious.

What Gu Yingning said when he left that day came back to his mind, Sheng Xia only felt that he was in an unprecedented chaos.

After chatting with Xu Yihui for a long time, gradually, Sheng Xia finally regained the natural feeling before.When the royal coffee was served, the moon was shining brightly, and the eyes were full of stars.

The night in early summer is not cold, and the evening wind is soft to the touch.Xu Yihui looked at Shengxia's high-heeled shoes with a height of seven or eight centimeters, and sighed: "You, knowing that your feet have old diseases, still love to wear high-heeled shoes."

In midsummer, when she was a junior, she sprained her ankle. It was the first time she wore high heels over 24 centimeters, and she twisted them with a "cluck" when she didn't pay attention.It has been swollen for more than a whole month, and Xu Yihui helped her up and down the stairs every day, and helped her buy food, which was harder than the patient Sheng Xia.Tan Jing once teased that he is [-] Xiao's good boyfriend, but Xu Yihui just laughed and said nothing.

Sheng Xia didn't expect that Xu Yihui still remembered that his feet would hurt if he walked a lot in high heels from now on, he was slightly surprised and then smiled: "It doesn't matter, it's much better now."

Xu Yihui wanted to say something more, but when he looked up and saw an oncoming motorcycle in front of him, he hurriedly grabbed Sheng Xia's hand and leaned against the side of the road.However, what was unexpected was that when they walked towards the side of the road, the motorcycle also leaned towards the side of the road, as if it was galloping towards the two of them!

The strong headlights made Sheng Xia stunned for an instant. When Xu Yihui turned his head and found that she was still standing there in a daze, the motorcycle was only two steps away from Sheng Xia!
Xu Yihui's liver and gallbladder were broken, and he stretched out his hand in horror to pull Sheng Xia to the side of the road, but it was a step too late - someone had already arrived first.

As if it was as long as a century, and as if it was just a moment, Sheng Xia only knew that there was a pair of powerful arms between the lightning and the flint that took him away from the previous danger, and those arms were so familiar.

The cologne that has been smelled for three years is lingering on the tip of the nose, and Sheng Xia heard a roar that was burning with anger but lingering fear: "Can't you walk? Sheng Xia, do you want your parents to teach you how to walk again!"

She raised her head, and the person standing in front of her was actually Gu Yingning.The face that was always expressionless was full of anger at the moment, but there was anxiety and shock that could not be concealed in the corners of the eyes and brows.

Before Midsummer could speak, Gu Yingning spoke again, but to another person: "Xu Yihui, is this how you take care of her?"

Xu Yihui knew that he was wrong, and the shock just now was still there, so he was not unhappy in the face of Gu Yingning's anger, but he didn't respond with a word.

Only then did Sheng Xia clear his mind, so he asked him, "Why are you here?"

Gu Yingning was still furious: "If you are not here, is it because you are going to be knocked into the air?"

Sheng Xia muttered: "It was just an accident..."

"Accident?" Gu Yingning raised her eyebrows, her eyes were sharp, and she gritted her teeth, "I think you also know that Pei Jin has been released from prison. Such a desperado can't do anything to achieve his goal! What's more, the person next to you is simply a A useless decoration!"

Although she didn't understand how Gu Yingning knew about Pei Jin, she still couldn't help defending Xu Yihui: "Yihui just didn't have time to react."

"The person who is only one step away from you is too late, but the person who is a few meters away from you is in time, isn't it!" He suddenly raised his eyebrows slightly, and twitched the corner of his mouth mockingly, "You still have to speak for him in such a situation, it seems, You really love him." Gu Yingning looked at Xu Yihui, who was slightly startled by his words, but also looked straight at him.

Gu Yingning let go of her hand, her eyes changed several times, bottomless.Finally, as if with a hint of sadness, he smiled extraordinarily freely, as if he was riding a horse, and said: "Very good, very good. Midsummer, I'm crazy so I can't worry about you."

Gazing deeply at Sheng Xia, Gu Yingning turned around and left without saying a word, leaving Sheng Xia and Xu Yihui standing there without saying a word.At that moment, Sheng Xia suddenly had the urge to shout to stop him, and opened his mouth, but in the end, only a drop of moisture leaked from the corner of his eyes.

After that night, he didn't see Gu Yingning again in Midsummer for more than ten days.Pei Jin's case is not over yet, so not only the whole company is nervous, but even Sheng Xia himself is a little restless because of Gu Yingning's words.

As Gu Zitang's personal secretary, Sheng Xia was one of the few people who knew the location of the safe house.Although the case has not been solved, the company still operates as usual, so every few days in Shengxia, under the protection of the police, he will bring some documents to the safe house for Gu Zitang to sign.

At noon this day, Linda, who usually ate together, went to an appointment with her boyfriend, so Sheng Xia ordered dry cut noodles alone at a ramen restaurant near the company.After eating, after walking a few steps, she felt something was holding her back. Sheng Xia just wanted to turn her head to look, but she heard a low but fierce male voice next to her ear: "Don't look back!"

Sheng Xia's heart trembled, and through the thin fabric, he finally realized what was holding him up - a short dagger.Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the man wearing an extra-large coat, presumably the dagger was hidden in the sleeve.And at this glance, Sheng Xia immediately recognized that this man was Pei Jin who went to the company to make trouble a few days ago.

The whole heart began to tremble, how could she not be afraid when encountering such a thing for the first time?Looking around at the bustling crowd, Sheng Xia was wondering if someone would do something brave if he yelled loudly, but he felt the weight of the dagger, and Pei Jin threatened behind him: "If you dare to make a sound, I will stab you immediately!"

All the escape routes were blocked, and she was no match for him at all. Sheng Xia was numb from the cold, trying hard to make her voice not trembling, she said: "You... What do you want me to do?"

Under Pei Jin's intimidation, Sheng Xia was taken to an uninhabited corner of the road, and an old truck with its license plate ripped off was parked in the open space.

"Go in!" Opening the back door, Pei Jin kicked Sheng Xia viciously in.

The hands and feet were tied up with thick hemp ropes, the eyes were covered with black cloth, and even the mouth was stuffed with a cloth tape. Midsummer was silent like a cicada.She couldn't stop taking deep breaths, desperately trying to get her brain back to thinking, but it was in vain, her mind was still chaotic.

After driving for a long time, Pei Jin finally stopped.After being pulled out of the car by him, Sheng Xia only felt that the surrounding fields were extremely empty, and he could hardly hear other sounds.Pushing and shoving up the stairs, Sheng Xia counted silently in her heart as she walked, and walked a total of five floors.

He was thrown into the corner by Pei Jin like throwing a cloth bag. He sat down on the ground, plucked the blade in his hand, and said viciously: "Stinky bitch, you were the one who stopped me last time!"

Sheng Xia's hands and feet were still bound, and her eyes were still blindfolded. She didn't know what Pei Jin was going to do, where she was, and whether anyone would find her in danger.With so many frightening unknowns gathered together, Sheng Xia couldn't help but feel cold hands and feet, and she was overwhelmed by great fear, and she couldn't stand it at all.

Pei Jin leaned over, and the blade in his hand swam to Sheng Xia's face, the cold touch made her shiver almost uncontrollably.He snorted and said, "Say! Where is Gu Zitang now, huh?"

Teeth chattered constantly, almost biting her tongue, Sheng Xia didn't dare to say, "I don't know, I really don't know." Every time I went there, the police drove me there and turned so many turns, so she never remembered road.

How could Pei Jin believe it, the blade pressed against Sheng Xia's right cheek all of a sudden: "Damn, do you want to say it? Don't say that I will cut your face with a knife!"

In the great panic, Sheng Xia finally couldn't hold it back. The black cloth covering her eyes was wet with tears, and she shook her voice: "Every time the police take me there, I really don't know."

"Snapped!"

A slap came over, so strong that Sheng Xia even turned his head suddenly.Pei Jin spat out a mouthful of phlegm, and cursed: "Useless stuff!" He rolled his eyes, then put away the knife again, took out his cell phone and started calling.

"Hey, look for Chen Zijian!" It turned out that he dialed 110, "Who am I? I'm the person he most wants to find right now, Pei Jin!"

After that, Pei Jin opened his voice and continued: "Captain Chen, it's been a long time!

How dare I call you?Hmph, of course there are hostages in hand! "He said, holding the phone to Sheng Xia's ear, "Bitch, say something!" "

Trembling, Sheng Xia only felt that her voice was hoarse: "Captain Chen, I am Sheng Xia..."

Having just said so much, Pei Jin called back the phone again, sneered and said to the other end of the phone:
"Did you hear that? Captain Chen, as the head of the Public Security Bureau of City F, it seems to be your duty to protect the safety of innocent citizens, right? Listen, at 12:30 noon tomorrow in the New City Plaza, 500 million will be exchanged for this woman first. As for Gu Zitang, I will deal with him later!"

Hanging up the phone neatly, Pei Jin smiled darkly: "Smelly lady, don't worry, you will never see the moon tomorrow night."

The thing she had always been afraid of finally became a reality, and there was a "buzzing" sound in her head, and the blood in her whole body seemed to freeze for an instant and stop flowing.In the unknowing silence, her face was already wet, and Sheng Xia trembled her lips: "Pei Jin, when did you repay your grievances like this...why don't you let go..."

"Fuck!" He spat again, gnashing his teeth, "I have been in an unjust prison for so many years, do you think I can swallow this breath!"

Injustice?Sheng Xia didn't know why, but he heard Pei Jin continue to say: "The one who sold the company's information back then was obviously Gu Zitang, an old man, but he bribed all the links and let me take the blame! I'm alone now anyway, and I have nothing, so I'm not afraid to die!"

It was the first time to hear such an inside story, regardless of whether it was true or not, Sheng Xia was terrified.

Originally, she was an outsider, but she was dragged into this dispute of revenge because she was Gu Zitang's personal secretary, and now she heard more and more inside stories, so the chance that Pei Jin would let her go was getting slimmer and slimmer.

Probably because he was tired, Pei Jin sat down cross-legged on the ground again, and started to eat without caring about midsummer.

The slow passage of time is particularly painful, and each second seems to be as long as a century.Pei Jin seemed to fall asleep after eating something, and Sheng Xia heard him snoring very loudly.

Unable to see where he was, facing that direction, Sheng Xia could only shrink himself more cautiously into the corner, while the hands behind his back tried his best to untie the bound hemp rope.

Finally, the snoring stopped, Sheng Xia was also startled, and stopped the movements of his hands.

I only heard Pei Jin press the phone key, and a loud voice rang out: "Hey, Xu Laosan, do you have any more fried rice with char siu? OK, send me some!"

After making the phone call, Pei Jin looked at Sheng Xia who was curled up, snorted in his nostrils, and did not speak.

After a while, Shengxia heard a knock on the door without any haste, and Pei Jin knew that the takeaway had arrived, so he shouted cheerfully: "Come on, come on!"

Opening the door and taking the plastic bag from the boy who delivered the food, Pei Jin yelled, "You're new here? I haven't seen you deliver it these days."

"Yes, I just came here today."

The succinct sentence made Sheng Xia's heart almost stop beating in an instant - such a familiar voice, could it, could it be...
