Life in siheyuan era
#116 - Chapter 116: Too Big a Loophole
Looking at those painful eyes, Shen Lan Yin said softly, "My parents really like Zhou Zhiyuan. As their daughter, I must respect my parents' opinions."
Hao Zhiwen let out a hoarse voice: "What about your opinion?"
Shen Lan Yin reiterated: "I respect my parents' opinions."
Shen Lan Yin's attitude gave Hao Zhiwen hope, and he said firmly: "I won't give up, Lan Yin. I've liked you for a long time. I liked you the first time I saw you, on your freshman orientation day, when hundreds of you were standing on the playground, and I only saw you..."
Zhou Zhiyuan stimulated him, and Hao Zhiwen no longer concealed anything, telling his true feelings in detail.
But his words reminded Shen Lan Yin of Liu Junling's words, and she asked coldly, "Is that why you broke up with that senior sister?"
Hearing her question, Hao Zhiwen paused for a moment, then said: "You don't accept me, is that the reason? To tell you the truth, she was dating me in order to stay in Jingcheng. At that time, she forced me to get engaged, because that would allow her to stay in Jingcheng."
"Only then did I understand her purpose, so I resolutely broke up with her. It has nothing to do with liking you."
"I am a responsible person. If she hadn't exposed her purpose so early, I would have suppressed my feelings for you and married her. At that time, we could only have been senior and junior classmates..."
Before he could continue, Shen Lan Yin interrupted him and said softly, "My relationship with Zhou Zhiyuan is already settled. I won't accept anyone else's feelings before we break up."
After saying this, she left, and Hao Zhiwen's voice came from behind, "You two are not suitable. Breaking up is only a matter of time. I'll wait for you."
Hearing this voice, Shen Lan Yin paused slightly, then continued to walk forward. She still had patients to treat and wouldn't think about other things at this time.
Shen Lan Yin devoted herself wholeheartedly to her work, and Zhou Zhiyuan was also wholeheartedly writing the "Comprehensive Management Plan."
He had to be careful. If he wrote words like "Strive to achieve the 'Four Modernizations,'" it would be a big deal.
He needed to calm down, but Han Xue was interfering with him, "What happened the night before last?"
Zhou Zhiyuan looked up at Han Xue in surprise, hearing her ask, "That night, you insisted on sending me home, carrying me upstairs for more than twenty minutes, and I actually fell asleep. Don't you need to explain this?"
After careful consideration for two nights and a day, Han Xue felt more and more that something was wrong. She glanced at her watch when they arrived downstairs, and the time was exactly nine o'clock. But the time she entered her house was actually nine thirty-five.
According to this time, it took Zhou Zhiyuan at least twenty minutes to carry her from the third floor to the seventh floor.
Drawing this conclusion, Han Xue couldn't help but consider a question: "What was Zhou Zhiyuan doing during this time?"
This question had been hidden in her heart, and now that it was just the two of them, it was the perfect opportunity to ask.
But Zhou Zhiyuan actually explained it this way: "The corridor was too dark, I had to walk slowly, and I was a little dizzy from drinking. I walked for a while and rested for a while. I was just climbing the stairs during that time."
Hearing his explanation, Han Xue said angrily: "Would I believe that?"
"That's the truth, why don't you believe it?"
Zhou Zhiyuan was still quibbling, Han Xue took a long breath and said in a deep voice: "Okay, let's talk about it one by one. First, why did you insist on sending me?"
Zhou Zhiyuan replied in surprise: "Is it a crime to curry favor with the leader?"
Han Xue sneered and said in a deep voice: "I, this small leader, can't bring you any benefits, but you are impolite to Li Huaiyi, who can bring you benefits. Does this explanation hold water?"
Hearing this question, Zhou Zhiyuan pondered for a moment and replied: "To be honest, I like to fight, and you are from the Public Security Bureau. If I befriend you, you can help me when the police arrest me."
This reason made Han Xue stunned for a moment, then asked: "Okay, let's not mention this for now. Let's talk about the second thing. You carried me on the third floor, and you were very sober at the time. With your strength, why did it take more than twenty minutes to get to the seventh floor? Don't tell me the reason just now, I don't believe it."
Zhou Zhiyuan smiled bitterly and replied: "I said, that's the truth, I won't make up a reason."
"Quibbling." Han Xue spat out two words hatefully, and continued to ask: "Why did I fall asleep?"
Zhou Zhiyuan shook his head gently and said "You," then his face changed, and he asked in a low voice: "Don't you think I drugged you?"
"Not necessarily." Han Xue replied coldly.
Zhou Zhiyuan said in horror: "You can't talk nonsense about this. Why would I drug you? To steal money? To rob..." He stopped the last word urgently.
Han Xue thought for a moment, and her fair oval face turned red instantly. Then she glared at him and said in a low voice: "Just quibble. I'll find out sooner or later."
Zhou Zhiyuan smiled bitterly and sighed, "I wanted to curry favor with the leader, but I didn't expect to cause so much trouble."
"You don't need to pretend to be pitiful..." Han Xue said coldly: "If you don't tell me, I will arrest you when I find out."
Zhou Zhiyuan smiled bitterly again, turned to look out the window, saw Wang Dagang walking towards the office, immediately handed over the notebook, and said loudly: "Section Chief Han, this is the plan I wrote, please correct it."
Han Xue also glanced out the window, then took the notebook and looked at it carefully.
Zhou Zhiyuan turned to look at the door, saw Wang Dagang walking in, and immediately said: "Brother Wang, is your wife's due date coming soon?"
Wang Dagang smiled and said: "There are still twenty-five days left."
Zhou Zhiyuan reminded Wang Dagang, "Brother Wang, the due date is just an approximate time. You have to prepare in advance, what if the baby is in a hurry to come out?"
Hearing this, Wang Dagang was stunned for a moment, then said: "Section Chief Han, I'll leave early for a while." After saying this, he turned around and ran, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Seeing his speed, Zhou Zhiyuan smiled and said: "So fast."
Turning around, he saw Han Xue looking at him coldly, and called out softly: "What's wrong again?"
"What am I acting?" Zhou Zhiyuan called out, but Han Xue ignored him and continued to look at the materials, but was thinking about Zhou Zhiyuan's words in her heart.
He spoke without any loopholes, but Han Xue absolutely didn't believe it.
That night, when she walked into the house, she immediately pulled the light cord to turn on the light, looked at her watch and felt surprised. She felt like she had slept for a long time, but the watch only showed more than twenty minutes.
This time was the maximum time she spent walking from downstairs to the third floor, which meant she had lost consciousness on Zhou Zhiyuan's back.
At that time, she didn't think she had fallen asleep, and defined it as a loss of consciousness. She leaned against the door and listened carefully to the movement outside, feeling strange that Zhou Zhiyuan hadn't left.
At this time, Liu Lanying came out and asked her to come into the house. After she lay down on the bed, she tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. She got up and leaned on the head of the bed to think carefully, confirming that she had not lost consciousness just now, but had really fallen asleep.
She trusted Zhou Zhiyuan and let him carry her upstairs. When she was lying on Zhou Zhiyuan's back, she felt very safe, and her body and mind completely relaxed.
But thinking of this feeling, she was still confused, "Why did I fall asleep, and sleep so soundly?"
This was a question, and the feeling of safety wouldn't make her sleep so deeply.
From this, she thought of Zhou Zhiyuan's purpose in sending her home. Her first thought was that Zhou Zhiyuan wanted to pursue her, but now another idea appeared, "Is he worried about my safety?"
When this idea arose, she had to continue to expand on it, so she thought of Xiaogu.
Zhou Zhiyuan had only been there once, and only made one comment on Xiaogu, "The first sight makes me uncomfortable."
Thinking of this sentence, Han Xue suddenly realized that Zhou Zhiyuan didn't say the word "feel", he was just uncomfortable, there was no such thing as feeling.
"Is he afraid that Xiaogu will do something to me?" This was Han Xue's deduction. She forced Zhou Zhiyuan to ask just now, but he didn't mention Xiaogu.
This made her have to think of a reason, "Is it because there is no evidence, or is it because there is something else?"
But this question needed Zhou Zhiyuan to answer. Unable to figure it out, she looked up and saw him looking out the window in a daze. She couldn't help thinking, "What is he thinking? Is he trying to plug the loophole of those twenty minutes?"
This loophole was too big, because of this loophole, Han Xue absolutely didn't believe Zhou Zhiyuan's explanation. No matter what he said, it shouldn't have taken more than twenty minutes.
Twenty minutes could do a lot of things. The occurrence of a murder case might only take a few minutes, and a fight might also take a few minutes. Twenty minutes could allow Zhou Zhiyuan to chase something to the top floor, and then return to send her home.
Han Xue suddenly had this idea, and after thinking about it carefully, she felt that it was very possible. Looking at Zhou Zhiyuan again, she lowered her head and continued to read this "Comprehensive Management Plan."
At this time, she wouldn't ask Zhou Zhiyuan, knowing that he wouldn't say it.
