Qin Zhong hesitated for a long time, but he still stepped forward and asked cautiously, "Liu Shao, are you going back?"

He said nothing, staring at the ice cream box in his hand, the cooled water vapor condensed into water droplets, dripping into the palm of his hand.

Qin Zhong immediately handed over a clean handkerchief.

He paused for a long time before taking it, wiped his hands, took out a leaflet from his pocket, and said, "I want this woman to tutor me."

tutoring?

Didn't you get a doctorate in business?

Qin Zhong was in a fog, vaguely remembering about chemistry tutoring on the flyer sent by the mother and daughter.

"The price is up to them, I only have one condition." He raised his head, the moonlight softened his outline, "It must be at her house."

Under the moon, the wind blows the leaves, rustling, accompanied by the chirping of cicadas in summer, in the mottled shadow of the camphor tree, there is a slanted shadow of a young man.

Upstairs, the girl is laughing.

At that time, he and her just met, but did not know each other until that evening, when the last ray of light in the sky passed over the branches of the camphor tree, he appeared in front of her.

Beautiful boys, and girls with smiling eyes.

The girl stood by the wall of the old building, looking at the boy under the tree, the shadow of the tree was reflected in her eyes, she asked him with a smile: "Are you Shi Jin?"

The young man stepped out of the shade of the tree, his eyes were beautiful in the backlight, and he nodded.

The girl approached. She was tall and thin, but only reached his shoulder height. When she looked at him, she raised her head slightly, her eyes were bright.

She said, "My name is Jiang Jiusheng."

He knows, he knows all her information.

"I'm here to pick you up," she added.

The boy hooked his lips: "Lead the way."

"good."

The girl walked in front, and the boy followed behind, through the wind, through the setting sun, through the deep alley, followed by a dog, and cicadas were singing in the trees.

The girl in my memory overlapped with the one in front of me, her eyes were still pink, and when she smiled, they looked like water-colored peach blossoms.

"Shengsheng." Shi Jin approached cautiously, trying to reach out to hold her hand.

Jiang Jiusheng stepped back, his tone firm: "Answer me."

Shi Jin had never seen her look so stern and introverted, so he was a little flustered and avoided her eyes: "Well, we know each other." After hesitating for a long time, he finally raised his head and looked into Jiang Jiusheng's eyes, "Your mother is my mother." tutor."

She was dazed for a long time, and suddenly realized: "So those are not dreams."

During the hypnosis that day, apart from seeing the murderer, there were also scenes of unfamiliar and familiar scenes, like an old movie, like a fleeting image, not rich and colorful, but engraved in my heart.

In my memory, in a small room, there was a desk by the window, with her on one side and him on the other side, they were young people.

In the summer when cicadas sing, it is very hot. There is no air conditioner in the house. With the windows open, you can hear the laughter of children downstairs.

On the desk, the girl pondered for a long time, then raised her head with a bitter face: "Shi Jin."

"Huh?" The boy turned to look at him with a very delicate face.

She pushed the book over and said with some embarrassment, "I can't do this question."

He stopped writing, took her book over, wrote three solutions and returned it to her.

She smiled and said thank you, holding the book and continuing to study hard, a few minutes later...

She raised her head with a bitter face: "Shi Jin, I don't understand."

The corner of the young man's mouth was lightly raised, the scorching sun outside the window was reflected in the dark ink in his eyes, warming the color, he put down his book: "Come here."

The girl moved the chair over.

When the young man gave a lecture, he was very serious, with long eyelashes drooping, and a low voice, which was especially pleasing to the ears amidst the humming of cicadas.

In a short while, he wrote a full page of steps, which penetrated the back of the paper and his handwriting was neat.

"Understand?"

The girl nodded quickly and looked at him with her chin propped up: "You are so smart, why do you still need to take tuition?"

The boy looked away: "Partial."

"Which subject do you prefer?"

He paused for a moment: "Chinese."

She seemed puzzled, staring at him: "But my mother is a chemistry teacher."

"Really?" The young man remained calm, his beautiful eyes were calm, "Maybe Qin Zhong didn't see clearly when he was looking for a tutor."

Qin Zhong at the door: "..."

The picture freezes, and if you look closely, the girl is smiling, the boy's ears are slightly red, and his beautiful fingers are unconsciously closed.

In the next scene, it was still the same room. The midsummer night’s dusk dyed the camphor tree downstairs golden, and a ray of light leaked in slightly, brushing the corner of the desk, and the mottled shadows of the trees jumped back and forth.

"Shi Jin."

"Huh?" The boy looked up, still holding the cup in his hand.

With a pen in her hand, the girl tapped his cup and said, "The cup in your hand is mine."

The boy froze for a moment: "Sorry."

There was a slight blush on his cheeks, he looked out of the window calmly, lowered his head, drank the water in the glass, got up to pour a glass, and then put the glass in front of the girl.

"The Mr. Qin who brought you here said that you are obsessed with cleanliness." She deliberately teased, with a hint of cunning in her lazy peach eyes.

"Yeah." The boy didn't change his face, "I like your cup."

Their cups are very similar, they are the prizes for the girl's hoop, his cup has a fish painted on it, and hers is a fishing girl.

She squinted her eyes and thought for a while, then pushed her cup to the boy's side: "Then let's change it."

He hummed and gave her his cup.

Then……

"Shi Jin,"

"Um."

With a smile in her eyes, the girl said, "You took the wrong cup again."

The boy nodded, and naturally returned the half-drunk cup to her.

She rested her chin, thinking of something, her cheeks were slightly flushed, looking at the towering trees outside the window, her eyes sparkled, melting into the color of a flower.

In the ear, the unique voice of a teenager is clear and moist.

"Shengsheng, read a book."

"oh."

The girl hurriedly lowered her head, for a long time, the page of the book was still on that page, a yellowed leaf was blown by the wind outside the window, and the nib of the pen was restless.

Summer seems to be very long, with endless homework and endless singing of cicadas. Her hair grew a little longer, lying on the desk, the wind blew the ends of her hair, brushed against his hand, and itched slightly.

He stopped writing, turned his head and said, "Shengsheng, don't be in a daze."

The girl sat upright, with a very serious expression, and said, "Shi Jin, your hands are so beautiful."

The young man was helpless: "You still have three papers to write."

She didn't care: "Give me your hand, I'll rub it down and make a bookmark."

The boy put down his pen and was very patient: "Write the paper first."

She shook her head, not obedient at all.

He had nothing to do with her, so he stretched out his hand and let her get the ink on his hand.

Later, the girl made a bookmark and gave it to the boy, but he never used it. He said that he was afraid of breaking it.

The girl smiled and said, I will make it for you after it breaks.

The teenager smiled and nodded.

At that time, they were still young, thinking that if they made a promise, it was a pledge of eternal love, and they thought that if they made an agreement, they would not grow old.

Later, in autumn, the camphor tree dropped its yellow leaves all over the ground. The boy would still go to the girl's home for tutoring, and he would arrive early, and then he would stand by the window and wait, watching the shadows shuttle under the shade of the tree.

The dog in the alley is barking, it is she who has returned.

He opened the door, went to pick her up in the corridor, and saw the girl running from a distance.

He went over and took her schoolbag: "Why are you back so late?"

"The teacher dragged the class." Entering the room, she took off her coat and threw it on the shoe cabinet, "Where's my mother?"

He frowned and went to pick up her clothes, folded them and put them on the cabinet: "I went grocery shopping."

The autumn evening was very warm, and the sky quickly darkened. The young man turned on the light, and the apricot light filled the room. It was a small room, but it was kept very clean.

"Shi Jin," the girl poked her face out of the bathroom, her face was full of bubbles, her eyes were black and bright, "help me get the rubber band in my schoolbag."

He went to get a rubber band and tied her a loose ponytail.

She loosened it halfway through the wash, and her hair was still wet.

"What is this?" The boy waited at the door, holding a pink envelope in his hand.

The girl froze for a moment, then came to her senses: "Love letter."

With a straight face, he looked old-fashioned: "Who gave it to you?"

"I don't know either. Someone stuffed it in my schoolbag. Show me the signature." She wanted to take it.

The boy raised his hand high and refused to give it.

At that time, he had grown very tall, and she stood on tiptoe, but she couldn't reach his hand raised above his head. He tore up the letter and threw it out of the window.

It is rare for a girl to be as serious as a boy.

"Shengsheng, you are too young to fall in love early."

Her hair was wet, the white school uniform was very thin, and the water dripped from her shoulders, showing the vague outline inside.

The boy blushed.

Oh, she is not small anymore, the girl has grown up, graceful and beautiful.

That night, the girl's mother came back very late, and the boy stayed behind. When it was late at night, he stood guard by the window, and a very dim light was turned on in the room.

It was still hot in early autumn, but she wrapped herself up in a ball and rolled on the bed profusely.

"Sheng Sheng."

"Sheng Sheng."

In the ear, the boy shouted eagerly.

The girl opened her eyes in a daze. Against the light, she saw a beautiful face with clear outlines.

"What's wrong?"

She hugged her stomach and said in a voice like a mosquito, "My stomach hurts."

The young man pursed his lips tightly, and wiped the sweat from her forehead with the back of his hand: "I'll take you to the hospital."

"No need to go to the hospital."

He coaxed her: "Be obedient."

The girl blushed, shook her head, muttered something in a low voice, and then buried her face in the pillow.

When I was young at that time, I only knew that the autumn night was scorching hot, and the dog downstairs barked all night, disturbing people's mind. The young man was stunned for a long time with a red face, his palms were sweaty, and he was at a loss for a long time.

He asked: "What should I do then?"

She said, "Lie down for a while and you'll be fine."

She was in a daze as she lay on her stomach, and after an unknown amount of time, she heard him calling her name.

"Shengsheng, drink this."

She drank it in a daze, only remembering it was very sweet.

It was his first time cooking, and he scalded a blister on his fingertips. She heard Qin Zhong say that he was the proud son of heaven, and he had never done such a thing.

At that time, the young girl thought that she would never ask for other people's love letters in the future, and when she grew up, she would write him the longest and longest love letter.

The summer of that year was very long, and in autumn the camphor trees withered a lot of leaves. In the old neighborhood, the dogs were barking, and it was raining. Boys and girls walked into the deep alleys and never came back.

The memory was frozen, Jiang Jiusheng raised his head, his eyelashes were wet with tears, and his voice trembled slightly.

"and after?"

Her memory is intermittent, only up to this point, frame by frame, all of them young, and the tree downstairs, no one else, all fragments of him and her.

"What happened later?" She looked into Shi Jin's eyes, "What happened to us later?"

Shi Jin lowered his eyes, covering the light in his eyes: "After your mother passed away, I brought you back to the Qin family."

Yes, there is still her mother in the memory.

But why can't she remember her face, why only her voice, no matter how she recalls, she still can't see her appearance clearly.

"Why did you die?" She asked Shi Jin.

"Accident."

Accident? It was too succinct, and all the details were hidden, she thought, Shi Jin must not want her to know, then, it must be a storm.

Since it was engraved in my heart, why did I forget it completely?

She looked at him silently for a long time. She had a thousand words to question him, but she only asked one sentence: "Does the Qin family have an attic, no windows, no matter day or night, it is very dark and very dark?" dark."

Shi Jin's eyes were full of panic, and the corners of his lips turned white. After a long time, he said, "Yes."

Sure enough, those unfounded dreams in the past were not wild and unconstrained, and more or less reflected her past. She suppressed the messy thoughts in her mind, tried to recall, tried to piece together those vague and incomplete fragments, but what happened? I can't even remember it, like a tight string suddenly snapped, and all the images began to fall apart.

She had a splitting headache and her body was shaking.

"Sheng Sheng."

He was confused, raised his hand, and wanted to pull her, but he didn't seem to dare, so he stood there with his hands stiff.

Jiang Jiusheng supported the wall, his eyes full of hesitation and fear: "Shi Jin, how many things have you kept from me?"

This kind of uncertainty about unknown variables made her feel terrible, and she was terrified, as if she was suddenly on a small boat, surrounded by turbulent waves, and she couldn't hold on to anything.

Shi Jin's eyes were full of bright red, floating shadows, various emotions, including panic, hesitation, and desperate determination and predation.

If it is said, if she doesn't want him, then it's over, he will definitely do all kinds of crazy things.

ring ring ring...

The bell in his hand rang suddenly, breaking the frightening silence in the room.

Jiang Jiusheng answered the phone, it was Cheng Hui.

"Sheng Sheng."

"Um."

Cheng Hui spoke on the phone for less than a minute, with a few simple words, but Jiang Jiusheng's face changed suddenly: "I see, wait for my news."

She only said this sentence, then hung up the phone, looked up, with a resolute look in her eyes: "Shi Jin, take me to Qin's house."

When he heard that it was the Qin family, Shi Jin didn't even think about it: "Shengsheng, don't go there."

Jiang Jiusheng insisted: "My adoptive parents were arrested and taken to the Qin family."

When she and Shi Jin made it public, she had expected that the Qin family would not let it go. There is no doubt that this time it was aimed at her.

Shi Jin's eyes darkened, and he tried his best to suppress his emotions: "I'll go and bring them back. You stay at home and don't go, okay?" His voice was tense, like a string that didn't stretch, as if it would break at the touch of a finger.

He was afraid of her.

Afraid that she will get hurt, afraid that she will get sick, afraid that others will harm her, afraid that she will remember, afraid that she will be sad, afraid that she will not come back after leaving, afraid that she will not want him...

He felt like a lunatic, wishing he could tie her up at home.

Jiang Jiusheng looked straight into his eyes, with reckless determination in his eyes: "Take me to Qin's house."

He can't beat her.

For so many years, no matter whether he was crazy or ruthless, he had never truly disobeyed her once.

He still compromised: "Okay."

Central South Qin Family.

The Qin family was built on the mountain, with a radius of 1,000 square meters. It is all in the territory of Qin's house, surrounded by mountains, and there is only one road leading to it. Hidden behind the greenery are four ancient buildings with red walls and white tiles. In front of the main house, Two pieces of jade stand, and the green dragon is carved on the jade surface, which is lifelike.

Surrounding the outside of the building, there were ten steps and one person, all bodyguards in black clothes and black trousers, with expressionless faces. The Qin family, which dominates the three provinces in Central and South China, is naturally imposing.

In the study room, there is a plaque hanging high on the door, with four characters written: Ziqi is coming from the east.

On the main seat, Qin Xing sat upright, and on both sides were the descendants of the Qin family. Qin Ming was on the left, Qin Xiaoyi was on the right, followed by Qin Xiaozhou and several young masters from the outer room. The open space in the middle was covered with beautiful carpets , a man and a woman knelt on the ground, bowed their heads and lowered their eyebrows, trembling.

Holding the celadon teacup, Qin Xing moved the tea noodles slowly, without raising his head: "You husband and wife are quite courageous, even dare to lie to me."

It was Ms. Jiang and her husband Cheng Yanlin who were kneeling on the ground. Both husband and wife were terrified, their faces were pale, and their foreheads were sweating. Husband and wife dare not, dare not refuse to listen." With their heads on the ground, Ms. Jiang begged for mercy, "Master Qin, spare your life, Master Qin, spare your life."

Qin Xing put on the tea cover, raised his head, his eagle eyes were menacing: "It depends on what you say whether you order someone out of the Qin family's gate."

Ms. Jiang used to be a servant of the Qin family, and was arranged by Shi Jin to cook in the attic. She was the only servant of the Qin family who had seen Jiang Jiusheng eight years ago.

After Shi Jin left the Qin family, Ms. Jiang resigned, and the couple disappeared together.

Qin Xing wanted to investigate Jiang Jiusheng's details, but he accidentally involved this couple, so it's not hard to guess. After eight years of deceitful death, Shi Jin's side was still an old friend.

Ms. Jiang raised her head timidly, hesitated for a while, and still beckoned: "Miss Jiang came to Qin's house for the second month, the second young master's people broke into the small building, and the sixth young master was going to beat him to death She was stopped by Ms. Jiang, and since then, Ms. Jiang's illness has become more and more serious, and the sixth young master has doubts." Ms. Jiang raised her head, glanced at Qin Mingli in fear, then immediately lowered her head, and continued, "The suspicion is that the two Young Master bribed the psychiatrist and made Miss Jiang's illness worse. At that time, Sixth Young Master was moved and wanted to send Miss Jiang out."

Qin Mingli rubbed his gloves with a normal expression.

Qin Xiaoyi was the most at ease, leaning on the chair with his hands folded, with a look of nothing to do with him the whole time, but Qin Xiaozhou next to her was very reserved, afraid of Qin Xing, and even more afraid of Shi Jin.

On the main seat, Qin Xing tapped the table with his knuckles and said 'continue'.

Ms. Jiang didn't dare to stop, she bowed her head tremblingly and said again: "On the day of Qin's anniversary, the Sixth Young Master arranged a plane to take Miss Jiang abroad, but there was a car accident on the way to the airport. Both Miss and Sixth Young Master were injured, and the other car that collided with her was not working well, and the mother and daughter in the car died on the spot."

Qin Xing narrowed his eagle eyes, his pupils protruded slightly, and a hostility gradually emerged between his brows. All the Qin family members present were silent.

The atmosphere was cold and chilling.

Ms. Jiang wiped the cold sweat from her head: "Because, because you are watching closely, Mr. Qin, in order to deceive the world, the Sixth Young Master pretended to be Miss Jiang, the girl who died in the car accident, so that the Qin family thought she was dead. The Sixth Young Master dismissed her." After the servant in the attic found me, my husband and I changed jobs and moved to a small town in Jiangbei, and that’s when Ms. Jiang was raised in my house.” Ms. Jiang took a breath, and then slowly Tun looked up, "That's how things are, I've said everything I know."

With a snap, the tea cover was put on the table, Qin Xing lowered his eyes, and snorted, "It's been eight years since I kept it, it's really a skill."

Said Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived.

The butler entered the study, stepped forward to pass a message, and said, "Master Qin, the Sixth Young Master is here."

Qin Xing listened, but didn't say anything. He picked up the teacup and took a sip, then spit out the tea leaves again, his emotions were beyond expression.

"Sixth Young Master brought someone here." Butler Qin paused, "It's Miss Jiang Jiusheng."

Qin Xing stopped drinking tea.

Only Shi Jin dared to bring people to the main residence of the Qin family for so many years. Eight years ago, and today, he still brought the same person.

Qin Mingli turned the ring in his hand: there is a good show to watch.

"Let them come in." Qin Xing let go, and he wanted to see what was so special about the people who let Shi Jin hide for so many years.

In front of the green dragon and jade stone, Butler Qin respectfully said "please".

Shi Jin looked at the people around him, his eyes were full of alertness and sharpness before he hid, his voice slowed down: "Shengsheng, give me your hand."

Jiang Jiusheng exchanged glances with him and held out his hand.

He took her hand and said, "Don't be afraid of them."

She nodded and said she was not afraid.

"Shi Jin."

Shi Jin responded to her, but couldn't see the emotion in her eyes clearly, and was abnormally calm.

All the way to Qin's house, she didn't say anything, didn't ask questions, didn't blame, and didn't even mention anything about the past. He knew her temperament, she had a clear distinction between grievances and grievances, and she wouldn't vent her anger.

But she doesn't have a temper that goes with the situation, she doesn't want to be confused about some things, she doesn't have to care about it, she just wants to be open and clear.

She said: "when my adoptive parents are sent out of the Qin family, can you take me to the attic?"

There are some things that must be made clear. After a long time, resentment will arise. What's more, she and Shi Jin will live together for a lifetime. There is no knot that cannot be untied, and there is no secret that can be brought into the soil. She is ready. If you want to leave nothing to chance, then everything must be open and honest.

Between people, especially between lovers, the most jealousy.

Shi Jin looked at her and said, "Okay."
