the knife of love

Chapter 44

Tang Jingcheng trembled, turned around suddenly, and said to him, "Guan Lue, the last thing he left me was taken away by others."

At that time, Guan Lue only felt a severe pain, as if a piece of his heart had been cut off by her.

How cruel!This woman can always keep talking about remembering another man in front of him as if nothing had happened, so he can't be angry yet.

As it was now, he had to comfort her.

"What a big thing, if you don't have it, it's gone. People have been gone for so long, and you have to start all over again."

"Start again? Is it okay?" Tang Jingcheng looked like a relative, and Guan Lue was really bored.

"This is your own business, but since you are here, go in and sit for a while."

It just so happened that Ye Tan was also in Nine Commanders that day. Anyway, the store's business was sluggish all year round, so she chatted with the waiter in the corner when she had nothing to do.

When he was talking vigorously, he heard another waitress running towards the door.

"The boss is here, the boss is here!"

The waiter who was chatting with Ye Tan was so frightened that he immediately stood up from his chair: "Have you entered the shop yet?"

"Come in, and bring a girl!"

"Girl? What girl?" Ye Tan was surprised this time, did he bring Lou Qingxiao?But after thinking about it, it's unlikely, this store has been open for two years, and he has never brought Lou Qingxiao to the store.

No one in the shop knew that Guan Yue had a girlfriend with disabled legs.

"I'll go and have a look!" Ye Tan walked out from the corner, and saw that Guan Lue was really standing by a table by the window. Someone should be sitting opposite, but unfortunately, it was blocked by a pillar, so Ye Tan couldn't see clearly for a while .

"Ninth brother..." Ye Tan walked over, "Are you bringing friends?" She had just finished speaking when Tang Jingcheng, who was sitting on the side of the pillar, raised his head, and Ye Tan couldn't close his mouth half-open.

She never expected that the first time she saw this woman was in such a situation.

"Go ask someone to pour you a cup of hot water." Seeing Ye Tan's expression, Guan Lue knew that she had resentment in her heart, and wanted to dismiss her.

But Tang Jingcheng suddenly smiled and looked at Guan Lue: "If you don't drink water, isn't this a cafe?"

"Didn't you say you don't drink that stuff?"

"But I'll drink what you cooked." Probably because of the heating in the store, Tang Jingcheng's body became warmer after being frozen all morning, and her mood also stabilized a lot. She smiled and took out a piece of paper from her bag. The card, the card is already very wrinkled, it was given to her by Guan Lue at the beginning.

"I keep this card with me all the time. You said you would give me a chance to come here and try your handicraft. Don't break your promise!"

In the last sentence, Ye Tan actually heard a bit of "acting like a baby", and what was even more hateful was that Guan Lue actually liked it, so he raised his lips and smiled.

"Okay, what would you like to drink?"

"What are you good at?"

"Everything is good!"

"Then pick the one you're best at."

"Mocha bar, rich in milk and light coffee flavor, suitable for people who don't drink coffee often."

"Then I don't want it anymore."

"..." Guan slightly frowned.

Tang Jingcheng suddenly smiled slyly: "You know, I like heavier, energetic and comfortable."

"..." Guan took a deep breath, he could understand the unintentional provocation in this woman's eyes, it was her disease, it would happen anytime and anywhere, he was used to it, but Ye Tan was not used to it.

Ye Tan was so angry that he kicked off the stool and left.

Guan Lue could only cough sullenly: "Then sit here and wait a while, I'll make coffee."

Ye Tan leaned against the corner and stared at Tang Jingcheng. He had only seen pictures of this woman before, but today was the first time he saw her.

It seems that the real person is better looking than the photos, and his facial features are quite delicate, but Ye Tan feels that Tang Jingcheng's eyes are full of anger.

Soon a waiter came over and asked, "Hey, Ye Zi, who is that woman? What do you think she has to do with our boss?"

"do not know!"

"Could it be the boss' girlfriend?"

"She deserves it too?"

"It's a good match. It looks good. It's very pleasing to stand with our boss. Besides, it's the first time I saw the boss bring a woman to the store. The boss even made coffee for her. I've been working here for so long. It's the first time I've seen her. The boss makes coffee for others to drink..."

The waiter wentssip endlessly, making Ye Tan's anger out. She glanced at the waiter in a blink of an eye: "You can chat with me here, don't you have to go to work?"

The waiter pursed his lips in embarrassment, and walked away dejectedly.

Ye Tan strode over to Tang Jingcheng's table, she was looking for a lighter to light a cigarette, Ye Tan drew a chair and sat opposite her.

"Do you know who I am?"

"do not know."

"It's best not to know, I warn you, stay away from Brother Jiu!"

"Ninth Brother?" Tang Jingcheng leaned back on the rattan chair, "You mean Guan Lue?"

Ye Tan didn't answer, she really hated Tang Jingcheng's indifferent look, as if no one was in her eyes.

At that time, Tang Jingcheng just found the lighter. She took out a cigarette from her bag and put it between her two fingers. Without lighting it, she just stared at Ye Tan.

Tang Jingcheng guessed that the girl in front of him should not be more than 25 years old. She wore a black and white plaid thin coat in the cold weather, with short hair cut, high forehead, deep eye sockets, plain and quiet, and she looked a little depressed. But she didn't look like the temperament that a girl in her early twenties should have, and there was a ruthlessness in her eyes.

"Why are you staring at me?" Ye Tan was annoyed by Tang Jingcheng's gaze.

Tang Jingcheng lifted the cigarette on his finger and asked, "Can I smoke here?"

Ye Tan drooped his face and did not answer.

Tang Jingcheng was rude again, he put the torch in his hand and lit the cigarette, took a puff, and exhaled the smoke ring. The wind in the hall blew into the shop, and the white smoke just covered Tang Jingcheng's face.

Ye Tan heard her ask faintly behind the mist: "Do you like him?"

"how do you know?"

"Just kick the stool you kicked just now!"

Ye Tan snorted: "So what if you like him! What about you? You like him too, right?"

"I can't talk about it."

"Then why are you still sleeping with him?"

"Because I want to sleep with him! He's good in bed, and he's good at coaxing women to like him, but you probably haven't tried this before." Tang Jingcheng blew smoke rings, understating it.

Ye Qin has been playing around with swords since she was ten years old, but she has never experienced this kind of thing between men and women. For the first time, Tang Jingcheng spoke so openly.

"You...shameless!" Ye Tan became a little annoyed.

Tang Jingcheng was a little amused.

"He's a guy with a girlfriend!"

"I know!"

"He loves his girlfriend very much!"

"I know that too!"

"He and his girlfriend are getting married soon, and the date is set to be early next year!" Ye Tan was furious.

Tang Jingcheng bit her cigarette butt and her lips trembled. She smoked too hard, and the cigarette choked her lungs, making her eyes hurt.

"You don't know that, do you?"

"Now I know!" Tang Jingcheng wiped the corners of his eyes slightly with the back of his hand, still smiling.

Ye Tan stood up from the chair angrily: "What are you laughing at? Can you show some face and stop pestering Brother Jiu again!"

"I didn't pester him." Tang Jingcheng looked innocent.

"How could you go to bed without pestering you?"

"You have to ask him about it. You can't slap him with such a thing! Besides..." Tang Jingcheng stopped talking halfway, and pinched the cigarette butt into the small potted plant on the table, and the smoke came out from the branches and leaves .

Ye Tan was so choked that he quickly fanned it with his hands, and asked, "Besides what?"

"Besides, the two of us sleep, just sleep, I don't have him in my heart, and he may not have me in his heart."

……

When Guan Yue came out with coffee, there was no one in the window.

Ye Qin leaned against the edge of the table expressionlessly and played with his mobile phone.

"What about her?"

"gone!"

"What did you tell her?"

"I told her to stay away from you!"

Guan Lue gave Ye Tan a look, and Ye Tan immediately gave in: "Ninth brother, that woman is not good enough for you, she said she doesn't have you in her heart."

"It's not your business!" Guan Yue put down the coffee cup in his hand and walked out, but he turned back when he reached the door, picked up the cup of freshly brewed coffee on the table and poured it into the flowerpot on the window sill .

Ye Tan looked at the empty cup thrown on the table, and was so angry that Guan Lue had already chased him out.

Tang Jingcheng had already reached the entrance of the alley, Guan Lue's car was stuck in front of her, and he leaned over to open the co-pilot's door for her.

"boarding!"

"I'll just take a taxi back by myself."

"boarding!!"

"..."

Tang Jingcheng sat in and closed the window.

"Why did you leave without saying hello?"

"Suddenly wanted to leave."

"Didn't you say coffee?"

"Suddenly I don't want to drink anymore!"

Guan Lue was furious: "Are you always so casual? Come and leave whenever you want?"

"Well, one more thing, sleep if you want to sleep!"

"Tang Jingcheng!" Guan Lue stared at her, "Have you not taken your medicine properly recently?"

She giggled twice: "Just kidding, I see that you are anxious, it's just between us..."

"What's going on between us?"

Tang Jingcheng scratched his nose with his hands, and suddenly his eyes turned to stare at the steering wheel in his hand, and the conversation suddenly changed: "I heard from Sister Huanxi that you borrowed this car from a friend?"

Guan Lue Nao didn't understand what kind of medicine she sold in the gourd, so he could only nod his head perfunctorily.

"Then do you like this car very much?"

"Okay."

"How about I give you one?"

"..." Xiaguanlue was really confused, "What do you mean?"

"Thank you, thank you for staying with me that night, otherwise I would have no alibi." What she meant was that Xie Guanlue went to sleep with her that night.

"By the way, how many times did we do it that night?" Tang Jingcheng was seriously recalling, and stretched out a hand: "Five times or six times?... I don't remember much, but you are better than I imagined." It’s amazing, I almost didn’t get up the next day.”

Her words were frivolous, and Guan Lue's eyes were sharp as a blade. He was not a fool and could understand what she said.

"Tang Jingcheng, who do you take me for? Little boy?"

"Pfft——" Tang Jingcheng raised his eyebrows and looked at him: "Are you embarrassed? Except for the teeth, which part of your body can match 'Bai'?"

"..." Guan Lue was choked by her and lost his voice for a while. Didn't it mean that this girl has various dysfunctions?How come the language function is still so sensitive?
"Don't talk about it, I'll take you back."

"No need, I can take a taxi when I get to the road ahead." Tang Jingcheng shied away, opened the car door and thought about going on.

Guan Lue's body suddenly leaned over and slammed the car door on her side, the sound was loud, and his force was so strong that Tang Jingcheng shrank back in fright.

"Tang Jingcheng, listen carefully, even if something happened between us, you don't need to avoid me like this! I admit that I was obsessed with ghosts that night, but I promise, that night was the first and last time, The only time!"

Guan Lue's expression became extremely cold.

Tang Jingcheng licked her dry lips with her tongue, and said with a smile, "Really? That's just right, goodbye!" She opened the car door and jumped out of the car.

Guan Lue didn't chase her this time, and watched her stride out of the alley, bumping her back against the armchair, her eyes were silent, and she said something in her heart, she punched the steering wheel but couldn't make a sound.

Tang Jingcheng stood on the road where cars came and went.

It's really cold, the fucking winter hasn't come yet, why is it so cold.

She took out her mobile phone from her bag and called Yu Huanxi.

"Miss Huanxi..."

"Ah, aunt, where did you go alone last night? I'm looking for you after the reception."

"I took a taxi and left early."

"What? Isn't it fun?"

"No." Tang Jingcheng was standing on the side of the road, staring at the buttonhole of Su Jue's coat, "Leave that aside, can you book a plane ticket for me?"

"where to?"

"Yunnan, the sooner the better!"

After Tang Jingcheng and Yu Huanxi finished their phone call, they hailed a taxi and went straight to Lao Mai's clinic.

Lao Mai was shocked when he saw her.

"Miss Tang?"

"Doctor Mai, do you remember me?"

"Remember, you are a friend brought by Lao Jiu!" Lao Mai hurriedly moved a chair for her to sit on, "What? Lao Jiu asked you to come to me?"

"No, I came by myself."

"Oh." Lao Mai rubbed his fists with his hands below, not knowing how to deal with this girl for a moment.It would be fine if she was an ordinary patient, but now Lao Mai knows about her relationship with Guan Lue.

"Then Miss Tang is coming this time...?"

"Didn't you suggest me to do hypnotherapy before? I want to try it."

"..." Lao Mai clenched his fists below, why did this girl suddenly change her mind?

"Miss Tang, I remember you disagreed last time, why now...?"

"Do you want to do it again?" Tang Jingcheng smiled and rubbed his eyes with his hands, "I feel that my illness has become more serious recently."

"You can feel it?"

"Yes, I can feel it, as if I fell into a deep dry well, my body keeps falling, and I don't know when I will reach the bottom." Tang Jingcheng raised his eyelids suddenly when he said this.

"But I know that in the end I'm going to die."

……

In late December, Qiu Qiguan's studio was stolen, the door of the vault was opened, and two safes in the library were blasted.

This was not a shocking event.

Since Qiu Qiguan passed away, although the situation of the studio has deteriorated greatly, it is still operating because there are still a few apprentices and students picking up jobs underneath, but there are few particularly valuable things in Curry.

Qiu Yueyi called the police the next day, but it was strange that there was nothing missing from Curry after the robbers made such a big commotion.

After the investigation by the police, it was very strange. Qiu Yueyi and the people in the studio were also at a loss, but Guan Lue was very clear.

"Yang Xi's matter has become so big, I thought he would stop it for a while, but I didn't expect it to be so lawless!"

Yang Xi's murder case was hastily settled, and the police couldn't find the key to the safe. Guan Lue really didn't expect that Su Hongzhi would dare to attack the studio at this juncture.

Guan Lue threw the photo in his hand on the table. The photo was obtained by Ye Tan. It was a photo of the studio being stolen.

Ye Tan paid attention to his expression and asked, "Then he didn't find that jade unicorn in the studio now, brother Jiu, what do you think he will do next?"

What will be done?Qiu Qiguan is dead, Yang Xi is dead, what else will he do?
Guan slightly frowned slightly, his eyes became colder.

He pulled out his mobile phone and dialed Tang Jingcheng's number. There was a blank blind tone, followed by a voice prompt: "Sorry, the number you dialed has been turned off..."

Guan Lue only felt his heart tighten.

"I'll go out for a while!" He took the car keys on the table and rushed out of the Ninth Commander.

"Where are you going, Brother Ninth?" Ye Tan didn't even have time to chase after him.
