"Snapped--"

Cui Yingdao's eyes were gloomy as if he was about to kill someone, and he threw the window-cleaning rag heavily on the French windows on the first floor of the teaching building.

Students who passed by with textbooks were startled by the loud noise. When they turned their heads, they saw Cui Yingdao kicking the bucket on the side like a raging lion, and his face was full of anger. So they all walked away quickly with a sense of humor.

"Liu Zhixi..." The anger in his eyes did not disappear, but a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth, "What, why am I so angry? Is it because the person you helped was Jin Tan, or... ..." His smile was completely suppressed suddenly, his eyes were on the bucket that had fallen on the ground, and he stepped on it heavily, and the sound of the bucket breaking immediately came from under his feet.His face became icy cold, and he slowly spit out a few words, "It was you who helped Jin Tan."

No matter what the reason is, Liu Zhixi, this time he...is really angry...

In the exquisitely and uniquely decorated classrooms, the students in Imperial High School uniforms held tablet computers or notebooks in their hands, leisurely recording what the foreign teacher on the podium taught in English.

Jin Tan leaned on the back of the chair, with no expression on his face, and looked out the window in a daze, the scene of Liu Zhixi talking to him outside the office building echoed in his mind.

——"You...why did you choose to help me." He followed Liu Zhixi out of the office building.

Liu Zhixi took a deep breath, turned her head and said flatly, "Although this matter has something to do with you, but didn't Cui Yingdao start it first?" The light in her eyes moved, and the corner of her mouth curled up. Laughing, "and... aren't you my sister's fiance? Can I not help you?"

"Is it just because of this?" He looked closely into her eyes, hoping to find some flaws in those clear and bright eyes, some... flaws that were not sincere.

"Could it be because of other reasons?" Zhi Xi frowned lightly and looked up at Jin Tan who was half a head taller than her. The sun brushed against Jin Tan's sharp-edged outline and flashed before her eyes, making her squint unconsciously. Squint the stinging eyes.

"...That's right." His voice was a little hoarse, and a look of disappointment flashed across his face, watching her turn and leave, but he couldn't take a step forward...

Sitting in his seat, he lowered his eyes to look at the black screen of the phone, gently pressed the home button with his fingers, and quietly looked at the few messages he had saved so far with Liu Zhixi.

Even if she chose to help him, but... her mood is still in a mess.

"Pa——" the door of the classroom was suddenly pushed open heavily, and the foreign teacher who was lecturing also stopped teaching, looking in shock at Cui Yingdao who came in from the door with his trouser pockets in his hands.

Cui Yingdao glanced sideways at Jin Tan, who was sitting absent-mindedly, and sneered at the corner of his mouth. He walked to his seat, dragged the chair back, and there was an ear-piercing rubbing sound in the classroom.

"Student Cui, we are in class now, please keep quiet." The foreign teacher finally couldn't help but say something when all the students in the classroom looked at each other and dared not speak out.

"Aren't I quiet now?" Cui Yingdao leaned back in his chair, looking at the teacher on the podium with a wicked smile on his face.

"...Okay, let's continue the class now." The teacher didn't dare to say anything to Cui Yingdao, coughed a few times and continued the class.

Liu Rachel turned her head to look at Cui Yingdao, and saw that his eyes were full of violence, and his eyes were always on Jin Tan's body.But Jin Tan had an indifferent face, as if he didn't feel Cui Yingdao's murderous gaze.

She turned her head, opened the leather cover that protected the screen, looked at the photo of herself and Zhixi on the screen of her mobile phone, pressed her lips tightly, then flipped the leather cover off, and put the phone heavily on the table.

Liu allie, didn't you say you don't remember, now... so what's going on!

Just after the teacher announced that the last class was over, Rachel Liu picked up her bag and walked out of the classroom door.

She slowed down only when she saw the car parked at the gate of the school to pick her up.When the driver sitting in the front seat saw Rachel Liu coming out, he quickly got out of the car, took Rachel Liu's bag, and opened the rear door for her.

Liu Rachel glanced at Zhixi who was already sitting inside, bent over and sat opposite Liu Zhixi, looking at Zhixi thoughtfully.

"Looking at my sister's appearance, she seems to have something to ask me." Liu Zhixi took a glass of soda water from the glass bar in the car, tilted her head slightly and took a sip, and then said to Liu Rachel with a smile.

Liu Rachel raised her chin slightly and looked at her, "Liu Allie, tell me the truth, you...do you still remember Jin Tan, that's why you will help him this time."

"If I really know Jin Tan, sister, what do you think I have to hide?" She looked straight into Liu Rachel's gaze, "I... just want to help my sister, Jin Tan, after all, is my sister's fiancé, Isn't it?"

One corner of Liu Rachel's mouth curled up, and she leaned on the car seat with her chest around her chest, "You helped Jin Tan this time, do you know how depressed Cui Yingdao's face is?"

Liu Zhixi put away her smile and lowered her eyes, remembering Cui Yingdao's extremely gloomy and angry eyes when she helped Jin Tan in the chairman's office, sighed and said softly, "Yes, Cui Youngdao he... ...you must be very angry..."

She looked out of the car, and at this moment a figure riding a motorcycle slowly rode up from behind their car.

Cui Yingdao wore a helmet on his head, turned his head while maintaining speed, and looked at the dark car window.

Even if he couldn't see...he knew that she was inside.

So, Liu Zhixi, are you ready to meet his wrath...

"What a lunatic." Of course Rachel Liu also saw that it was Cui Yingdao, seeing him driving beside their car and turning his head to look inside, even though he knew he couldn't see inside, he could still feel his emotion line of sight.

Cui Yingdao looked at Liu Zhixi's calm expression, and a sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He suddenly accelerated and quickly disappeared from their sight.

Liu Zhixi's hand clenched a little bit, but finally loosened it again.

Another black car was also driving fast on the road at this time, Jin Tan sat in the back seat silently, looking sideways at the tall buildings passing by outside the car window, with a calm expression on his face .

He turned around and leaned against the leather seat, closed his eyes lightly, looking very tired.

The car soon drove into the independent parking lot in the villa. Jin Tan walked into the huge hall, and when he looked up, he saw Jin Yuan walking out of his father's study with a grim expression.

Jin Yuan also stopped when he saw Jin Tan's figure, and stood on the second floor looking at him indifferently.

"Brother..." Jin Tan called out to Jin Yuan nervously when he saw Jin Yuan came back.

Jin Yuan just glanced at him and then turned and walked away, but instead of leaving the house directly as usual, he walked into his original room and closed the door tightly.

Han Qi loves to see Jin Yuan walk into his room, so he came out from the side, grabbed Jin Tan's arm and whispered, "Your brother went to your father's study as soon as he came back today, I don't know what he was talking about , However, the two of you seem to have had an argument, ah, son, at this moment, you must not make your father angry anymore!" At this moment, Han Qiai remembered something again, her eyes lit up and she said, "By the way, you Father said that he would invite Esther Li and her daughter to dinner at home tonight, Ah Tan, you have to prepare well!"

Jin Tan was silent for a while, then withdrew his hand helplessly and said, "Understood." After speaking, he went upstairs and walked directly into his room.

Because the curtains in the room were drawn tightly, the room looked a little dark.He leaned against the back of the door and let out a long sigh of relief. Then he walked over and took off his school uniform coat and threw it on the bed. Standing by the window, he slowly stretched out his slender fingers and opened the curtains. The golden autumn sun All of a sudden it poured in from the window.

He stood quietly under the sun with half-closed eyes, his chestnut hair was dyed with a warm halo.Two openings of the white shirt were undone, revealing a beautiful collarbone.

"Knock, knock, knock—" Several knocks on the door sounded, and Che Enshang, holding a quilt in his hand, pushed open the door and walked in. When he saw Jin Tan standing by the window with his back to her, he paused. Then she said with some embarrassment, "I... I'm here to deliver the quilt that has been dried." After she finished speaking, she spread the quilt in her hand neatly on the bed.

After spreading the quilt, she stood up straight, glanced at Jin Tan's tall and straight back, turned around and walked a few steps towards the door, then stopped, hesitated for a while before turning around and saying to Jin Tan, "At school today...thank you for helping me."

Jin Tan turned around, with a faint smile on his face, "In the United States, we met under such circumstances, and I went back to Korea and you lived with your mother again, and I saw you encounter difficulties again on the first day of school. , it was fate that helped Cha Eunshang you, so don't thank me too much."

"Eh?" Cha Eunshang obviously didn't understand Jin Tan's weird theory.

Seeing Cha Eunsang's dumbfounded look, Jin Tan revealed a real smile, but at this moment, thinking of something, the smile on his face slowly faded, looked at Cha Eunsang and said, "Cha Eunsang, Do you still remember the question you asked me when you were in the United States, I just now...discovered that my answer was wrong," he recalled Liu Zhixi's strange look when he saw him in his mind, and his eyes slowly streamed With bitter emotions, "When the person I know best suddenly treats me as a stranger, I can't do anything except sad and apprehensive."

"Jin Tan, the person you mentioned...is Liu Zhixi, right?" Cha Eunshang took a deep breath before saying firmly.

Jin Tan didn't speak, but turned his head to look at the music fountain in the center of the courtyard outside the window.

"Since the relationship between the two has reached the starting line again, let's start over," Cha Eunshang said seriously, "At least she is by your side, and...Jin Tan, your starting position is not a negative score." .”

"Start again..." He stood still and murmured. At this time, the musical fountain in the courtyard suddenly played soothing and pleasant music, and the water flow was spurted high and sprayed around. In the sunlight, crystal light spots are formed.

A familiar figure suddenly appeared in his sight at this moment.Liu Zhixi was wearing a pure white long-sleeved hand-embroidered skirt, her long hair draped behind her was gently fluttering in the breeze, with a warm smile on her lips, she walked gracefully from the side of the fountain spraying water. walk slowly.

It looks dazzling and dreamy.

He stood in front of the window, with little ripples in his eyes, looking at her figure, that dreamy and hazy figure, as if... when he saw her for the first time.

As if feeling his gaze, Zhixi's footsteps froze, she turned her face to the side and slightly raised her head to look in the direction of that gaze...

The bleak autumn wind passes through the courtyard, knocking down the withered yellow leaves that have reached the end of the years, and the wisps of withered yellow gently swirl and fall from the air, covering that piece of sunshine that is just a quiet place...l3l4
