like drinking ice

After Zheng Ao was beaten up, he rested at home for two days.

To be honest, I don't quite understand what he wants to do with me. It's impossible for us to sit together and have a good chat now, because I don't even want to talk to him.

His skin is fair, and it looks very obvious after being painted blue. Fortunately, his face is beautiful, and it doesn't look ugly, but it's a bit weird, like an extra layer of color has been painted on the eyes.He laughed less and less often recently, and he didn't have such big mood swings as before. He sat on the table and read the documents at a very fast speed, turning a page very quickly.

I just sat on the ground and read a book.

My favorite thing since I was a child is books, more than TV, games, and delicious food, because there is another world in books.Sometimes when I think about things when I was a child, things are a bit vague, but the books I read are very clear.Yang Jiajiang, who had read the comics when he was in the orphanage, was extremely sad when he saw the Golden Beach.When I was with my grandma, I watched Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but I didn’t know many characters.Later, when I read physics books, read biographies of scientists, and read various physics magazines collected by my dad, I half understood and half didn't understand.

I'm not really a genius, I know.

The real genius is the kind of my dad. He passed the exams all the way from a small city in the south. He was admitted to the most powerful science school in the country at the age of 17. He once got the top physics research. invitation.After him, the only one whose talent has caught up with him is Lin Sen. I have seen him go back to school to give a speech. He is abnormally young, pale, and his glasses are so thick that his eyes can't see clearly. He is a little nervous, and he never looks at the people in the audience Eyes, speaking at a fast pace, I managed to listen for 2 minutes, and I couldn’t understand what he said anymore. I only saw a bunch of physics majors occupying seats in the front row, taking notes like flying, and their cheeks were flushed , I heard my heart beat.

The two girls sitting in front of me were very worried about him and said, "How can such a powerful genius live well alone without the ability to live?"

Thinking about it now, on the contrary, it is better for him with a personality like this.My dad is too soft-hearted, he was born to go to the palace, but he was dragged down by Li Zhurong, and he was trapped in this soft world for a lifetime.So in fact, the less sophisticated you are, the better. If you don't care about anyone in your heart, you won't have any ties.A person is actually the best, eat well, sleep well, and live a regular life, so what's the problem?The really sad things in this world are related to another person.

After I went to college, I only read professional books.

Now being locked up at Zheng’s house, I can’t go to court, so I have to look for books to read. I don’t know if it’s because I’m in a bad mood. I always feel discouraged when I read professional books, so I read some books I liked before.It’s snowing in Beijing, and it’s snowing in the book. The girls in the former office followed the trend on the Internet and told me that Russia is a fighting nation.The protagonists in their novels are also resilient, a resilience that can only be cultivated by the Volga and the overwhelming snow.Sometimes I am too depressed, watching the protagonist of the novel eat black bread and potatoes in a low house, but still persist in living, I feel a little more strength.

During the days when Zheng Ao was at home, I was sitting in front of the fireplace reading a book, and he was reading documents on the desk. He didn’t say a word all afternoon. When the housekeeper came, he silently delivered the food and left.

We're just consuming what little we have left between us.

When it runs out, so does our story.

During the whole first month, I was stuck at Zheng's house.

After finishing the Russian novel, I began to read Merimee and The Bandits of Corsica. One day in early February, I heard a sudden noise in the front yard, and there was a housekeeper’s voice inside. I looked up at the window, and Zheng Yan immediately stopped it. : "It's none of your business!"

Since he was cheated by me last time, he has been very rude to me.

He closed the door and called the butler.I don't know what the butler said, but his expression suddenly became serious.

Then he locked the door and walked out. Before he left, he still warned me: "Don't run around, you won't be able to get away."

I didn't need to think about it to know that it was Zheng Ao's business.Zheng Yehu is also very forward-looking. He adopted Zheng Yan and raised him as a bodyguard from childhood to adulthood. He turned out to be more loyal than those relatives of the Zheng family.

Zheng Ao did not eat dinner with me.

The housekeeper came over to watch me eat, and then left in a hurry. When I was eating, he stood beside me with his hands hanging down, looking at his heart. I asked him, "What's wrong with Zheng Ao?"

He didn't speak.

In the evening, he suddenly came over and said: "Mr. Xu is not feeling well. Mr. Xu, please be considerate these two days."

I laughed at the meaning of his words.

But I also vaguely guessed something.

About an hour after I fell asleep at night, Zheng Ao came over, looked at me through the bedside lamp, whispered something to the housekeeper, then climbed onto the bed lightly, and hugged me to sleep.

After he fell asleep, I opened my eyes.

He smelled strongly of medicine.

I put my hand on his back and worked my way down his spine. He was wearing loose pajamas with a stiff bandage around his waist.

He didn't sleep well.

When I woke up the next day, he was gone.Zheng Yan didn't guard me anymore, but followed Zheng Ao closely.But the Zheng family has a lot more guards.

It was three days later that I figured out the ins and outs of this matter.

On February [-]th, I was reading in the study when there was a knock on the door.At first I thought it was the housekeeper who came to deliver the soup stewed in the kitchen, so I said without looking up: "Put it on the table."

It was a sunny day outside, and the snow hadn't melted yet. As soon as the door was opened, the wind blew in. The shadow of the person standing at the door was cast on my book, and I realized something was wrong.

It was a girl.

She was wearing a white down jacket, still as quiet and introverted as the last time we met, her hair was tied into a ponytail, and she was slightly chubby, no different from any ordinary high school girl in this city.

"Wang Xian?" I looked at her in surprise, "Did Ye Susu ask you to come here?"

She stood motionless at the door, but after hearing what I said, she suddenly took a step forward as if she had made up her mind, and then closed the door behind her back.

"Susu said that you are not having a good time." She still lowered her head: "She has something to do recently, so she has no time to come here."

"Thank her for caring for me." Although I can only be regarded as a prisoner here, I still try my best to receive her and pour tea for her: "Do you want something to eat?"

She shook her head.

The windows in this study room are exquisite, with four carved windows, the sunlight that comes in is all patterned, and there is a rosewood couch next to the window, and there is a table on the couch with tea sets.The butler usually comes to deliver something from time to time, and there is a small red clay stove to make tea.

She sat down by the couch and looked around quietly.

"Actually, it's alright here." I've only met her once, but I know she's introverted. If I don't find something to say, I'm afraid I'll be left alone: ​​"Thank you for coming to see me."

"It's okay." She said softly, "My house is very close to here, so I said I came to see Grandma Zheng."

That's right, the Wang family is also a big family, and they probably live in a certain courtyard in this area, and they should be related to the Zheng family for generations. It's not a big deal for her to visit the Zheng family and see Guan Ying.

Still a little awkward though.

The last time I saw her, she was dressed in gray and was set off by Ye Susu, making her feel a little non-existent.This time it was much better. Although she still lowered her head most of the time, she dared to raise her eyes to look at me occasionally, but if I looked at her, she would still lower her head.

"Are you still in high school? Don't you have to go to school today?" In order not to make her stiff, I had to ask her some questions.

"Today is the weekend." She took a small sip of her teacup.

I smiled sheepishly: "I haven't looked at the calendar for a long time."

She looked up at me and smiled too.

"Actually, I'm fine here. Tell Ye Susu for me not to worry about me and ask her to treat herself kindly."

She nodded.

According to what she said, this area is indeed an area where these families live together, and I can't help but think of one person.

"By the way, Wang Xian, do you know someone? His name is Luo Qin, and he belongs to the Luo family."

"I know him, but not very well. Do you want me to bring him a message?" Wang Xian obviously knew my situation.

For things like me, the rumors outside must have gradually risen, but I don’t know how many versions there are?But no matter what version, Luo Qin will always hear something.And as long as he can't find me, he will naturally check.

"No, there is no need to bring words."

If he is willing to help me, it is due to affection.If I go to ask him to help me, I drag him into the water.The entanglement between me and Zheng Ao should not involve others.

"By the way," I suddenly remembered something: "Do you know what happened to the Zheng family recently?"

I didn't say clearly that it was Zheng Ao who was injured. One thing Zheng Ao himself might keep this matter a secret, so it can't be passed on from me.The second is that Wang Xian is only a female student after all, and she still has to go to school. She may not be clear about these things.

But Wang Xian nodded.

"It must be because of Zheng Ao's injury..." She lowered her head and said softly, "I heard it from my brother, he told my mother."

"How much do you know?" I didn't want to put pressure on her. Even though Ye Susu said I was naive, I still felt that people should do things at any age. The world is not as bad as she said, and flowers can bloom in the mud Lai: "It's okay if you don't know."

Wang Xian lowered her head, but she has good black hair.

"My brother said that it was done by people from the Guan family. There are a few juniors in the Guan family with very strong tempers. They feel that Zheng Ao is too cruel and insulted them again, so they can't help it..." She said slowly: "Now people Being detained, Zheng Ao hasn't made a decision yet, but Grandma Zheng is very angry."

"Who are you mad at?"

"The one who gave birth to Zheng Ao." Wang Xian obviously knew the Zheng family very well: "She said it was Zheng Ao who pushed them to this point. She hated Zheng Ao because he didn't do his best to save the Guan family. She said Zheng Ao was ungrateful." .”

His own grandparents even talked about kindness and righteousness.The identity of Zheng Ao's mother is still unknown. Zheng Yehu also said that Zheng Ao was born after being calculated by Guan Ying. The kindness Guan Ying said probably means that Zheng Ao would not exist without her, so Zheng Ao should be grateful to her. obedience.

And human nature is really strange, it is obviously because of standing on the wrong team and being let down by the higher-ups.Instead of looking for the culprit who made him lose power, he hated his relatives who didn't save him.I really don't understand.

"How about Zheng Ao?" I asked her.

Wang Xian raised her head and looked at me, probably because she was a little strange about my question.

That's right, I sleep with Zheng Ao every day, and I still have to ask others.

"He's still concentrating on his work." Wang Xian said, "My brother said that his scene is very large, and Xia's family is responsible for the hard work, and Su Su's brother-in-law's family is responsible for all joints. It’s too extreme, it’s a little bit forced.”

As soon as I heard this mystical choice of words and sentences, it was Wang Lang's style.

For the generation in central Beijing, when it comes to ability, it may be difficult to rank one, two, three, four, because there are Zheng Ao who have begun to show their talents, and Zhou Xun who keeps a low profile, and a bunch of elders who are still studying. , so no comparison is possible.But when it comes to critics, Wang Lang is number one.The Wang family wanted to raise a gentleman who planned strategies, but they turned out to be a critic who talked on paper.

Wang Xian sat for a while, and then left, saying that she still had homework to do.

When she left, she asked me: "Last time Ye Susu said that Li Xiu was very angry and wanted to fight Zheng Ao, do you want to bring him a message?"

In fact, there is nothing to say, Li Xiu is exactly the same as Li Zhurong, although he has a bad temper, he is very self-control.If he can get me out, he will definitely endure until he gets me away before hitting Zheng Ao.He is beating Zheng Ao now, which can only show that he can do nothing but beat people.He is only 19 years old, after all there is Li Zhurong, what can he do?

"Tell him for me, no matter what, never let my dad know."

The day after Wang Xian came, I saw news about the Guan family on the news.

Guan Huai's son and daughter-in-law, who originally fled abroad, were all arrested and "under investigation".

Zheng Ao came back very late and didn't come over to eat with me directly, so he didn't know where he went.While eating dinner, he added another bruise on his cheekbone, which must have been smashed out.

Guan Ying was the only one who dared to hit him with something.
