— An hour later, Shen Shixiao returned to the courtyard where he and Xia Zhi lived.

house.

Meng Zichi was communicating with Xia Zhi, and his tone was sincere and apologetic: "I'm sorry, my brother has done so many outrageous things and hurt you. As an older brother, I cannot escape the responsibility."

The surroundings were quiet, Xia Zhi was sitting at the table, the veins on the wrist that had been infused were obviously bulging and slightly swollen.

Meng Zichi felt even more guilty, looking into Xia Zhi's eyes: "I know you are not short of money, but I always want to express our apologies. How about this, no matter what troubles you encounter in the future, or what requests you have from me, I will definitely not push back and try my best to help you. Is this okay?"

This proposal was too heavy, Xia Zhi hesitated a bit: "I don't think there is any need to give me any compensation. Your attitude and Mencius's attitude are enough. I also hope that you can discipline Mencius more and don't let him Do something like this again."

Meng Zichi nodded: "Okay, when I find Zijin, I will let him post an apology statement on the Internet."

After speaking, Xia Zhi showed a faint smile.

He poured a glass of warm water for Mencius and handed it to him: "Drink some water."

In fact, he had no ill feeling towards Meng Zichi. On the contrary, when the two met for the first time, Meng Zichi introduced him to the endorsement under the family banner, which made him feel that this person was quite nice.

Usually through Xia Zhi's observation, it is not difficult to see that Meng Zichi loves his younger brother too much, but when he dealt with this incident, his three views were very upright, and he did not shield his own people, which added a lot of goodwill to him.

Meng Zichi said thank you in a low voice, holding a water glass and looking at Xia Zhi's face.

"But no matter what, if you encounter difficulties in the future, you can always ask me for help."

Xia Zhi smiled: "Okay, thank you Brother Meng."

This claim surprised Meng Zichi, he raised his eyes, looked at Xia Zhi and said, "When I met you for the first time, I felt very close."

Xia Zhi was slightly startled: "Really."

Meng Zichi nodded: "You are very similar to someone I saw in a certain photo, but I can't remember."

Xia Zhi teased herself: "I'm the face of the public, it's normal to bump into each other."

Mencius joked: "Then you are too self-effacing." Putting down the water glass, he raised his wrist to look at the time. "Sorry to bother you so late, I'm leaving first."

He stood up, walked to the door, and asked before leaving: "It's so late, why hasn't Shi Xiao come back?"

Xia Zhi stared slightly at the door.

In fact, he also really wanted to know where Shen Shixiao went, and why he didn't come back after two hours.

Coincidentally, there were footsteps outside the courtyard at this time.

Shen Shixiao was wearing a windbreaker and bumped into Meng Zichi.

Meng Zichi looked at him and said in a low voice, "Shi Xiao, I just came to apologize to Summer."

Shen Shixiao: "Yes, I see."

"That matter is Zijin's fault, I will go back and reprimand him, please rest assured." Seeing that he seemed unwilling to take care of himself, Mencius added another sentence.

Shen Shixiao stopped and turned his back to him: "I have taught Meng Zijin a lesson for you."

Mencius frowned in confusion, suddenly remembered something, strode over and asked, "What happened to him?"

Shen Shixiao's tone was calm: "I threw him at the first place 35 kilometers away."

"Shen Shixiao!" Meng Zichi growled eagerly, "I admit he was wrong, but in such a dark day, you leave him alone in a foreign country, what if something happens to you!"

His chest rose and fell violently, "Isn't it too much for you to do this! Tell me the specific location!"

Xia Zhi heard the quarrel between the two, and ran out quickly, for fear of fighting.With a handicapped body, he ran to Shen Shixiao's side, trying to keep him behind.

Shen Shixiao put his arms around him, and said to Meng Zichi, "With bodyguards protecting him, there will be no accidents."

After hearing this sentence, most of the anger in Meng Zichi's eyes disappeared, but his tone remained firm: "Then you shouldn't have thrown him so far away!"

Shen Shixiao said in a low voice: "My lover was hurt. I have my own way of dealing with the problem. I don't need others to teach me how to do it. Meng Zijin deliberately threw the feverish Xia Zhi 40 kilometers away. He should To be punished like this. I don’t want you to agree with my actions, you can deny it, or come to fight with me. But you have to be clear, you can’t change my mind, because I don’t think there is anything wrong with my actions.”

Meng Zichi couldn't say no to him, and said coldly, "Give me the address! I'll pick him up!"

Shen Shixiao dragged Xia Zhi into the room, and closed the door leisurely: "No."

"Shen Shixiao!" Mencius rushed over and knocked on the door forcefully, "Even if you punish him, that's enough. Give me the address, and I'll pick him up now."

Shen Shixiao suddenly opened the door, and asked: "If Xia Zhi and Meng Zijin were the other way around, what would happen to you? Would you do something to Xia Zhi because you love your brother? If Xia Zhi dies and does not repent, he just refuses to repent." Apologize to Meng Zijin, what will happen to you?"

With a bang, the door closed again.

Shen Shixiao said in a deep voice: "Reflect on it, does Meng Zijin become what he is today, does it have anything to do with your overdoting?"

Outside the door, Meng Zichi withdrew his arms and silently landed on the steps, propping his forehead with his hands, his face full of exhaustion.

In the room, Xia Zhi asked, "Did you really throw him that far?"

Shen Shixiao: "Yeah. I didn't intend to do things so badly. It's because he never repents."

Due to illness, Xia Zhi's complexion was a little pale.

Sitting on the tatami, muttering to himself.

"Fortunately, you sent bodyguards to follow him. It would be bad if something happened."

Shen Shixiao rubbed his hair: "I have a sense of proportion, let's rest now."

Although she slept for a long time in the afternoon, Xia Zhi was still dizzy, and fell asleep when her head hit the pillow.

Shen Shixiao specially brought a thermometer and took Xia Zhi's temperature before lying down under the quilt.

Gently stroking Xia Zhi's face, Shen Shixiao suddenly thought of something.

Since when did Mencius Jin like herself?

If... Mencius Jin fell in love with him secretly very early on, then when he fell in love with Xia Zhi in France, did Mencius Jin who was also in France know that?

Slowly closing his eyes, Shen Shixiao gradually fell asleep.

But in the middle of the night, he suddenly woke up from his dream.

Back then, the Meng family brothers helped him find Xia Zhi, but there was no news after searching for a long time.

But it turns out that Xia Zhi's university is only half an hour's drive away from the hospital.

Why can't I find it no matter how hard I look?

Shen Shixiao had a guess in his heart.

If Mencius Jin liked himself at that time, this guess might make sense.

When Mencius Jin was looking for Xia Zhi, he deliberately concealed it.

......

At four o'clock in the morning, Meng Zichi finally met Meng Zijin who had returned home in embarrassment and weakness at the gate of the program group.

In front of him was a black car, slowly moving forward, as if it was showing him the way.

The vehicle stopped, and the bodyguard lowered the window: "Master Meng, our mission is completed, and I will leave it to you."

After speaking, they drove away.

"Brother." Mencius Jin struggled to the last bit of strength, and fell limply on the ground, his face scorched yellow.

The fake light makeup that he put on carefully for the variety show has long been blurred by tears and sweat, and it is sticky and squeezed on his face.

"You helped me kill some of them!" He cried: "Those people locked the car door, just didn't let me get in the car, and followed me all the time... I was like... like a dog. play."

Meng Zijin's voice choked, and he gradually cried out.

When had he been so wronged?When did you have such no self-esteem?

"Brother... why don't you come to me..."

"elder brother…"

Mencius flung himself into Mencius Chi's arms, weeping hard, obviously in severe fright.

Mencius Chi didn't speak, he hugged him gently to comfort him, finally picked him up silently, and walked inside.

In the room, Mencius Chi took off his shoes for Mencius Jin, and found that the edges of his feet had been worn badly, and the skin lines were filled with blood, which must have been very painful.

Mencius Jin buried his face on Mencius Chi's shoulder, and intermittently told what happened today.

After hearing all this, Meng Zichi patted him on the shoulder lightly and asked, "So did you do it on purpose?"

Mencius wept slightly: "No."

Meng Zichi withdrew his arm and said again: "Look into my eyes. Let me ask you one last time, did you do it on purpose?"

Meng Zijin hesitated, deliberately avoiding Meng Zichi's gaze, and stammered, "No."

Mencius Chi knew Mencius Jin very well. Mencius Jin always got into trouble when he was a child and always had this expression when he lied.

Why do you have to lie?

"Since you don't want to tell the truth, so be it." Meng Zichi picked up his coat, "There is no need for us to talk anymore, take care of yourself."

Seeing this, Meng Zijin struggled to get up, his eyes turned red instantly. "Brother, where are you going?"

Meng Zichi's voice didn't have any warmth: "Take care of yourself."

The door was closed tightly with a "bang", and Mencius' emotional depression reached a critical point.

He gradually slumped down on the wooden floor, crying bitterly.

He didn't understand, why did everyone treat him like this?Even his closest brother didn't speak to him.

The first ray of sunlight in the morning came in from the window, and Mencius squatted at the door, maintaining the same posture.

The sun's rays dazzled slightly, and he stretched out his fingers to cover the corners of his eyes, revealing his red and swollen eyes and his weeping makeup.

Logging into Weibo, the private messages and comments were still full of sarcasm and countless abuse. Mencius took a deep breath and posted an apology on Weibo.

"Brother, I've figured it out and I'm willing to apologize. Come back."

In the morning, the recording program continued as usual.

It's just that none of the Meng family brothers came.

Xia Zhi is in good condition today, looking rejuvenated.

The director came over: "Boss Meng's original itinerary was to only participate in the recording of last night's dinner, so I won't come today."

Xu Yun asked, "Where's Xiao Meng?"

The director said in embarrassment: "I knocked on the door several times this morning, but he didn't open it."

Xia Zhi and Shen Shixiao continued to eat breakfast with their usual expressions.

At this time, the door of the restaurant was suddenly pushed open.

Mencius Jin walked in front, and Mencius Chi followed behind him.He said to Xia Zhi: "Zhizhi, can you come out?"

Xia Zhi and Shen Shixiao looked at each other, Shen Shixiao held his hand: "Go, I'll accompany you."

Under the cherry blossom tree, Mencius bowed-bowed: "I'm sorry, Zhizhi. It was very wrong for me to deliberately leave you in the seafood market yesterday. I apologize to you."

Xia Zhi pursed her lips and sighed: "Can you tell me why you did this?"

Mencius Jin lowered his red and swollen eyes and whispered: "Because you made money easily yesterday, and I got my salary by bribing the boss. I think you are better than me no matter what you do. I feel jealous at times." I made trouble and drove away cruelly."

Xia Zhi actually knew it very well.

That's just -- part of the reason.

The real reason, except for Meng Zichi, was clear to all three present.

"Well, since you said that, let's forget about it." Xia Zhi held Shen Shixiao's hand, "If there is nothing else, let's go back first."

Meng Zichi nodded: "Okay."

Back at the restaurant, Xia Zhi discovered that Meng Zijin had also apologized to herself on Weibo, but the apology statement was a bit evasive.

Meng Zijin: During the recording of the program yesterday, due to my personal negligence and self-righteous guessing, Xia Zhi was thrown alone in the seafood market, causing serious damage to his health.Here, I want to say something serious to Xia Zhi, sorry.In the future, I must learn to consider others, be careful in doing things, and never make such mistakes again.

Xia Zhi casually browsed the comments below, although there were still many who complained about Meng Zijin, most of them were satisfied with his attitude of admitting his mistakes.

Xia Zhi is looking forward to going to France in the next episode of the show, because Shen Shixiao said to take him to the place where the two met and fell in love.

There is only the last day left in the trip to Japan. The program team experienced being scolded last night and temporarily adjusted the game.Originally, today's program set up many kinds of water games, including over obstacles, walking on a single-plank bridge, and walking through mud.

But considering Xia Zhi's physical condition, the program team changed the itinerary to a more relaxed carnival trip.

Nearby is the annual cultural and entertainment exhibition. The program group gave each group of guests some start-up funds and helped them rent a few booths in it to sell small items.

The small items are purchased by the program group, and the money earned goes to the guests and is used for the travel funds of the French station.

All the guests changed into local costumes, stepped on clogs, and set off for the carnival site, accompanying them.

Xia Zhi's clothes are in size L, but the crew provided only three sets of men's clothing in size L, and the other two were taken away by Meng Zijin and Zheng Xi, leaving only a light blue kimono.

This set of kimono is slightly tender in color, suitable for young people in their eighteenth or nineteenth year, and it would not be peaceful for Xia Zhi to change into it.

Shen Shixiao's clothes were dark blue, and he led Xia Zhi to the front, with two tall and short backs with excellent temperament, the years were quiet and beautiful.

Xu Yun kowtowed to the CP of the two silently behind her.

Coming to the booth rented by the program group for everyone, Xia Zhi carefully selected the things to be sold later, and finally chose to sell masks.Masks are a traditional toy here, especially in such a grand carnival, sales have been good.

Xia Zhi placed the beautiful white fox mask in the middle of the booth, sat on a chair and started doing business decently.

Mencius Jin was across from them, but this time he didn't choose it himself, but the booth left after all the guests were selected.

He sells small toys for children.

As the night progresses, the carnival locations are illuminated with firefly lights.

Xia Zhi puts on a white fox mask, trying to attract customers through this method.

Shen Shixiao smiled and said, "It's not just about wearing a mask, you can do something else."

Xia Zhi raised her eyes: "For example?"

Shen Shixiao: "For example, do a dance."

Xia Zhi: "Okay. If someone doesn't mind, I can take a fan and go to the booth and twist my waist. Maybe I can attract a lot of customers."

The fox mask looked at Shen Shixiao with a smile, as if provocative.

Shen Shixiao slowly leaned over and wrapped his arms around his waist: "Forget it, the little fox can only dance for me."

The stage in the distance is holding an event, and the sound spreads very widely and is very lively.

Xia Zhi turned her head and looked at her neck, curious as to what was going on there.

After Shen Shixiao found out, he said, "If you want to go, we can go and have a look."

Xia Zhi hesitated: "But if this is the case, the booth will have to be closed, and we won't be able to make any money."

Xia Kummen Zhizhi sat in front of the booth honestly, peddling and attracting customers seriously.

Mencius looked at the two of them with rare calmness, and he was always sorting out the things in front of his booth.

At this time, Meng Zichi came from the crowd.Although he no longer needs to record variety shows, he intends to stay here for a few days and return to China with Meng Zijin.

"How is business?" Meng Zichi walked up to Meng Zijin and picked up a small toy, "How much is this?"

Mencius Jin glanced at the live broadcast camera and said in a low voice, "Go away, I won't sell you."

"Why?" Meng Zichi asked strangely, "I'm also a guest, right?"

Mencius was worried that if such clips were released, people would attack him for going through the back door, and his image would get worse and worse, so he strongly refused: "It doesn't count, I won't sell it to you."

Meng Zichi wanted to support his business, so after hearing what he said, he put the toys back on his booth.

"Then you sell it."

Mencius Jin: "Yeah."

Xia Zhi—has been wearing a fox mask, observing the interaction between the two brothers.When Meng Zichi turned his head, he smiled at him.

Meng Zichi didn't recognize him at first, but when he saw Shen Shixiao behind him, he realized that the two of them were opposite Meng Zijin.

"Shi Xiao...summer..."

Meng Zichi and Shen Shixiao looked at each other for a few seconds, the embarrassment from last night did not completely dissipate, they just nodded symbolically as a greeting.

Xia Zhi took off the mask, and smiled narrowly: "Come here to buy something?"

Xia Zhi's smile reduced his embarrassment a bit, and he replied: "Yes." Then, he walked to Xia Zhi's booth, and said to the various masks, "Very beautiful."

Xia Zhi took the opportunity to recommend several masks: "See if you like it, if you like it, I can give you a discount."

Meng Zichi was a little surprised.

Perhaps because of his years of dealing with the business field, he did not expect Xia Zhi's character to be so straightforward, blatantly revealing his purpose.

So, he smiled and said, "I thought, with our relationship, you would give it to me."

"Your relationship?" Shen Shixiao propped his arms on the booth, and slowly bent down: "What is your relationship?"

Xia Zhi quickly explained: "It's good friends. But good friends have to settle accounts clearly. I can give you a discount, but the money still has to be paid! Otherwise, when will we earn money and go to the next event?"

"The star of the carnival?" Mencius looked at the stage in the distance, looked down at the masks, and hesitated for a long time: "Otherwise, I'll buy them all."

Xia Zhi was surprised: "It's useless for you to buy so many. Just pick a few, otherwise it will be a waste."

Meng Zichi smiled softly: "Don't waste it, you can give it to the children of my company's employees."

Xia Zhi hesitated, and poked Shen Shixiao: "Xiaoxiao, do we want to take advantage of him?"

Meng Zichi didn't expect Xia Zhi to say it so directly, and quickly explained: "I don't think you guys are taking advantage of me, so pack it up."

Xia Zhi immediately smiled: "Okay! Thank you Brother Meng."

Shen Shixiao's eyelids - twitched, flashed - a hint of surprise and displeasure.

Ten minutes later, the fifty masks were packaged immediately, and Xia Zhi received a stack of banknotes from Meng Zichi, and bowed in her arms: "Thank you, sir, for your support."

Meng Zichi felt embarrassed: "You're welcome."

In this way, Xia Zhi's team sold everything as quickly as possible, and got 1.7 yen.

Carrying the small satchel prepared by the program team, Xia Zhi walked briskly, and urged Shen Shixiao: "Xiaoxiao, let's set off quickly."

Shen Shixiao walked to him, let him hold his arms, and walked towards the venue of the carnival night.

The host is standing on the built stage, introducing the mysterious prize, surrounded by many people, eager to try.

Xia Zhi and Shen Shixiao stood at the outermost edge, listening carefully to the host explaining the rules of the carnival night.

This event is divided into three levels, and those who can win the final victory can win the mysterious prize.

The first game is: Judo.

Xia Zhi thought about it seriously, and felt that she was not qualified for this game, so she held Shen Shixiao and whispered, "Brother, I also want that mysterious prize. Can you go on stage and kill them for the little one?"

Shen Shixiao sneered, and withdrew his arm.

"Let your good brother Meng get the prize for you."
