Zuo Nian has a crush on Zhou Zeyao, and Xue Linya is Zhou Zeyao's current girlfriend. Even if someone else is a bit self-abuse, she should pay more attention unconsciously. However, Zuo Nian is quite standard in being an ostrich. The last limit, he could pretend that the girl didn't exist at all.Lu You said he was going to find Xue Linya, but apart from the name, he had no idea where the girl worked, how to contact her, or even what she looked like.

But it didn't become a problem - Duan Sheng knew how to get it.

He made a phone call, and Lu You guessed that it was the stalker who said he had "solved it" before.Within a few minutes, he received a reply text message, and Lu You dialed the phone number, and a female voice with a sweet voice and a somewhat cold attitude answered the phone.But after he reported the identity of "Zuo Nian", he thought about it for a while and became enthusiastic: Zhou Zeyao had mentioned "Zuo Nian" as a friend to her.

On the pretext of helping Zhou Zeyao deliver things there, Lu You easily made an appointment to meet.When he hung up the phone, he was basically sure: this girl didn't know Zhou Zeyao's real face.Whether Zhou Zeyao's goal is love, money or a ladder to the upper class, Xue Linya is another prey of his deception. "I really want to go back and beat him up now." Lu You said to Duan Sheng angrily.

"There will be many opportunities in the future." Duan Sheng said, his tone was a bit too calm.Ever since he listened to the recording, he had this attitude, which made Lu You feel nervous, as if he had done something wrong, and felt a little guilty.Duan Sheng didn't let the atmosphere cool down so much, he paused, and took the initiative to talk about other information he just learned on the phone.

It turned out that the owner of the casino to which Zhou Zeyao owed money had a gangster background. Seeing that he did not pay, he collected information on people close to him as a threat, mainly his family and girlfriend.Zuo Nian wasn't in it originally, it was only after Liang Xu showed interest that someone began to monitor him - now that person has succumbed to Duan Sheng's threat of violence, although he is still selectively sending back the movement of "Zuo Nian" , so as not to be noticed abnormally, but the information over there was also passed to Duan Sheng through him.

In short, probably after discovering that Zhou Zeyao didn't care much about other people's life and death, they changed the way of threatening: give him one last week, no matter if he steals, robs, or sells his "friend", he must Pay back the money within the deadline.If you haven’t seen the money after a while, then use yourself to pay off the debt—he has a handsome face anyway, and he has a good figure. If he sells it, he will definitely attract a few customers; The heart, liver and lungs in the abdominal cavity were taken out, and the cornea was removed, no matter how much he sold, he would pay it off.

Now Zhou Zeyao was going crazy with fright.He originally planned to play some tricks of playing hard to get, pretending to be angry and being indifferent to Zuo Nian for a few days, and to test what Zuo Nian was thinking, but now he was forced to speed up his pace.He probably still had the idea of ​​coaxing first, and then begging for help when he failed to tell the truth. After receiving the ultimatum, he held back all night, and only pretended to be nonchalant in the next morning to come to the studio to block people.It’s just that he’s been going well before, and this is the first time he’s been forced to such a dead end, and he’s seen “Zuo Nian” ready to show his feelings, and if he can’t be a lover, he’ll be a passerby, and he refuses to play with him anymore. In the case of being a good friend, the only way I can think of in a hurry is to express my love first, create an image of enduring humiliation to pave the way for love, and then explain the predicament—to do all the coaxing, confession, and pleading all at once.

...Probably he felt that Zuo Nian's secret love for many years had been reciprocated, and if he was moved, he would be willing to do anything for him, right?

Lu You was really not sure if the real Zuo Nian faced such a situation, would Zhou Zeyao get what he wanted.After thinking that Zhou Zeyao was going to marry "true love" and made up his mind to never see each other again, would that person be moved by Zhou Zeyao's behavior of deceiving his girlfriend to "love" him... It is really doubtful.It can only be said that Zhou Zeyao didn't care enough to lie to Zuo Nian, and didn't understand him at all—he thought Zuo Nian was too humble and lowly.

Duan Sheng also mentioned another thing. "I heard some... rumors about Zuo Nian from the students in the studio." He asked, "Do you want to know?"

Lu You was stunned.This was never mentioned in Zuo Nian's memory or diary. "What aspect...forget it." He was about to ask, but then changed his focus. "Don't tell me." He sighed, "If you know it, you will be upset, and you can't control other people's mouths." He was almost convinced by Zuo Nian—the environment around him was so bad, he could turn a blind eye to it, relying solely on himself Satisfied to live in that simple and stupid way, and die without feeling that much pain.To some extent, it can be regarded as an amazing skill, right?

However, Zuo Nian can choose not to think about it—he died in the end anyway, and Lu You can choose not to listen—it’s not about him anyway, but Xue Linya...whether she knew Zhou Zeyao’s true face in the original plot or not, this For once she had to know.

Xue Linya took a part-time job in her family's company, and she can come out at will during working hours. She and Lu You made an appointment at a dessert shop near the company, and went there in advance to order sago dew. After seeing Lu You, her eyes lit up. She smiled sweetly and praised him for his good looks.Even after she took the phone from Lu You and finished listening to the recording, there was still a smile on her lips, and she lowered her head pretending not to care, trying to take a piece of mango from the dessert bowl with a spoon and eat it.The spoon in her hand touched the edge of the bowl twice, and finally stopped trying. She stared blankly at the table and shed tears.

Lu You asked Duan Sheng to wait outside and came in to see her alone, not without worrying about her being stimulated, and even felt that Zuo Nian was provoking her, so he vented his anger on him.It's just too cruel for a girl to have one more person to witness her being deceived.Now he saw that Xue Linya was crying and was at a loss. He saw her crying for a while, sniffed her nose hard, took out a tissue from her small bag to wipe away the snot and tears, and then suddenly threw the phone on the table. One shot.

The whole dessert shop was quiet.The customers and waiters in the store turned their heads together and saw the well-dressed girl suddenly stand up from the table, pointing at the young man sitting opposite who hadn't recovered from the accident.Outside the glass wall, Duan Sheng, who was standing by the car, frowned, and walked towards the door.

"You wait for me." Xue Linya said, with a strong nasal voice, "See if I don't kill him!"

After she finished speaking, she shook her head, grabbed her bag, turned around and left.She rushed all the way to the door with her head held high, her high heels pinned, and she fell forward without even uttering an exclamation.The man who just walked in front of her made a timely move, grabbed her and picked her up, and then gently lowered her to the ground to help her stand firmly, avoiding her bravado, and finally fell down in front of the public An embarrassing ending.

With tears in her eyes, Xue Linya said thank you in a low voice, walked around the man, and continued to rush outside with her head buried.After walking a few steps, her pace gradually slowed down, and finally she stopped by the side of the road and stood there for a while, then turned her head away again with a feeling of bewilderment after a violent emotional upsurge.

When she turned her head, what she saw was the man who had helped her just now, stopped beside the young man who had brought her the bad news, and lowered his head to talk to him.There was a helpless expression on the young man's face, and a kind of intimacy was naturally revealed in their gestures.She looked at it for a while, bit her lip hard, and walked back aggressively.

Lu You reacted for a while whether Xue Linya said "Kill him" or "Kill you", and felt uncertain that it was the former...?He thought of the mobile phone that was innocently photographed on the table, and took a look: the screen was completely broken, and the frame of the casing was cracked...

There was a light touch on his shoulder, and he looked up to see Duan Sheng, "It's okay, she's not angry with me." Lu You said with a wry smile, "Fortunately, a backup was sent to you before the recording, otherwise I have to go..." He After a pause, he turned his head amid the sound of rapidly approaching footsteps, and saw Xue Linya who had gone and returned.Duan Sheng pressed the back of the chair with one hand, and half blocked Lu You. He was not polite to her at all because of the girl in front of him, and made a gesture of protection.

Xue Linya thanked him just now, but now she gave him a hard look, and then looked at Lu You, "No matter why you told me this..."

She paused abruptly, looked away, finally failed to say thank you, and whispered after a while, "Don't be fooled by him. He didn't take money from me-I always thought he was at home He's rich too!" She suddenly raised her voice, "Fuck it, I think I don't care about gifts from him!" She slammed the bag in her hand on the back of the empty chair, almost toppling the chair.Then he didn't even care about the accessories hanging on the bag flying out, turned around and left again.

When she walked halfway, she covered her mouth with her hand, not knowing whether to hide her crying or to vomit.She didn't fall again this time, and ran all the way back to the company in high heels, rushed into the elevator under the sideways glances of her colleagues, and rushed out of the elevator when the floor was up.The two secretaries who hurried over failed to stop her and let her go all the way to the door of the conference room. Fortunately, when she saw that a meeting was going on inside, she stopped and was pushed away by the distressed secretary in hesitation. Went to the next lounge.

Father Xue had negotiated a big deal before noon that day, and he was in such a good mood that he could hum a song.He wanted to continue to strengthen the friendship and accompany the clients to lunch, but found the secretary standing by the door and winking at him.When he entered the lounge and saw a mountain of tissues on the coffee table and a crying baby girl trembling on the sofa, all his good mood was immediately shattered.

"What's the matter? Why are you crying like this?" He sat down carefully and helped his daughter hold the tissue box. "What's the matter? Don't scare Dad..." He lowered his head and saw his daughter's bare hands , the diamond ring that dazzled his eyes every day disappeared, his voice paused immediately, and he remembered that he didn't look right no matter what, but his daughter loved him to death like taking ecstasy, which made him dream all the time. The future son-in-law whose daughter, who was unmarried and pregnant, came over to force him to agree to get married and then woke up in the middle of the night with a fright.After a moment of silence, he suddenly flew into a rage, "Did that kid bully you—?"

Lu You hurriedly got up from his seat amidst the swarms of discussions around him, holding his end-of-life mobile phone in one hand, and dragging Duan Sheng who didn't care about the eyes of the people around him, he walked out of the dessert shop with his head buried , When he walked to the side of the car and got rid of those discussions and gazes, he was relieved.

"What?" Duan Sheng looked at him and smiled, "Too unexpected?"

"I really didn't expect that." Lu You murmured, "I think... we can just wait for Zhou Zeyao to be unlucky." Originally, Zhou Zeyao hit a wall at "Zuo Nian", and he could go back and beg Xue Linya ——In the original plot, when Zuo Nian jumped off the building, Zhou Zeyao was still alive and well, obviously he used another method to repay the debt.As for now... Xue Linya's appearance doesn't seem like she will soften her heart after being coaxed.Thinking of her dropping her phone and smashing her bag, Lu You suddenly raised a little expectation.

It's just...he still has a task.

Lu You took off the back cover of the phone and took out the SIM card.He hesitated for a while, and then he made up his mind when he heard Duan Sheng ask next to him, "Do you want to use the mobile phone?"If you delay it any longer, you will only gain a few more days... If the mission fails, the gain will not be worth the loss.

It's better to solve it quickly.

Duan Sheng's mobile phone has dual SIM cards, and one card slot is empty. Lu You put Zuo Nian's mobile phone card in it, edited a text message with a straight face, and sent the words "I like you" to Zhou Zeyao's number past.The moment the transmission was successful, he felt light all over.

A few seconds later, the reply popped up, and Lu You pressed the screen off before seeing the content, and put the phone into Duan Sheng's hand. "Don't return it to me." He looked away and said, "Please, help me deal with it. Don't ask me what happened to that sentence, it feels so disgusting, I have to forget about it quickly... ..."

As expected, Duan Sheng didn't ask anything, ignored the prompts that sounded one after another, directly turned off the phone, and put it back in his pocket.Then he took Lu You's hand. "It's quite close to where I work." He said suddenly, showing a little smile, "Stop driving, why don't you take a walk with me?"

Lu You gave a "hmm" and said, "After these five days, we'll see what happens to Zhou Zeyao, and then..." Then he realized that Duan Sheng was changing the subject in order to make him "forget about it quickly". Stop quickly, a little embarrassed, "Ah... ok..."

"There is also a mobile phone shop nearby." Duan Sheng pinched his palm with his fingertips, and continued, "Don't repair that one, just buy a new one..."

Listening to him talking about these little daily things, Lu You was pulled forward by him, and after a while, he clenched his hand tightly.He felt relieved because he was no longer restricted by the task, and he felt a little sad again.

The 15-year countdown has begun.
