Clear stream

In the early morning, Qu Zhiyi woke up from the nightmare, covered in cold sweat.The temperature of the air conditioner in the bedroom was turned on very low, and her hands and feet were frozen stiff and cold. She beat her legs and looked out the window.

The sun was just right outside, and the shadows of the trees cast into the house swayed with the wind.

Qu Zhiyi turned off the air conditioner, opened the window to let in air, and the scorching breeze blew in, making her limbs slightly warmer.

This is the place she found again. The house faces south, it is bright and airy, the neighbors are harmonious, and everything looks good.

In order to start a new life, but also to make parents feel at ease.

But only Qu Zhiyi knows how bad her condition is. Every night when she closes her eyes, Shao Cheng's ugly face will linger in her mind. She also sees Xi Qingxi staring at her with blood all over her body. Her eyes are like sharp hooks, as if to drag her into hell.

Qu Zhiyi turned around, her eyes fell on the calendar beside the bed, her expression was a little dazed.

How time flies, today is her 24th birthday.

As her fingers twirled on the date vaguely, Qu Zhiyi suddenly became ruthless, and her nails dug into the cardboard forcefully, digging out a hole.

Qu Zhiyi took a deep breath, picked up her phone and sent a message: [Feifei, today is my birthday, are you free to come to my house for dinner? ]

Receiving Zhou Feifei's answer, Qu Zhiyi put down her phone contentedly, opened the closet to pick out clothes, and prepared to go out to buy groceries.

There is a promotional activity in the supermarket, and people are scrambling to huddle together, trying their best to grab the special price ingredients.Qu Zhiyi frowned, the noisy environment and the stale air made her dizzy, and the depression in her heart was even worse.

After buying groceries and returning home, Qu Zhiyi put on her apron and started cooking.About two hours later, the doorbell rang.

"Happy birthday——" Zhou Feifei stood at the door with a smile on her face, a thin layer of sweat oozing from her forehead, and her breathing was a little panting.She also held a bunch of delicately packaged sunflowers in her arms, with crystal drops of water remaining on the petals.

She handed the flowers to Qu Zhiyi, and said with a smile, "I didn't have time to prepare a birthday present, so I bought flowers for you. I hope you can be as happy as a sunflower."

Qu Zhiyi took the flowers, her brows and eyes soft, she whispered, "Thank you, this is the first time I have received flowers..."

"What?" Zhou Feifei pinched her face, walked into the room and smelled the smell of food, and couldn't help exclaiming, "Why didn't you wait for me to help!"

"There's no reason to ask guests to help." Qu Zhiyi put the flowers on the table, knelt down and turned out the glass vase, rinsed it, and then carefully put the sunflowers in.

Lunch is three dishes and one soup, no cake.Qu Zhiyi doesn't have a strong sense of ritual, maybe she once had it, but now it's exhausted by reality.

"How is Shao Cheng recently?" Qu Zhiyi raised his eyelids slightly, and asked seemingly casually.

Zhou Feifei paused, her expression was not very good.

Qu Zhiyi said, "He still doesn't give up?" She put down her chopsticks, the haze in her eyes flashed, "Did he threaten you?"

Zhou Feifei shook her head: "No, it's just a stalker. When I was buying flowers, she called me and asked me to have dinner in the evening."

"Do you still have the photo we took last time in your phone? I accidentally deleted it when I cleared the memory."

"Yes, I'll send it to you." Zhou Feifei took out her phone from her bag, clicked on the chat window, selected a picture to send, and put the phone on the table after sending.

Qu Zhiyi bowed his head and said nothing, his gaze swept across the mobile phone on the table, and his fingers gradually tightened.

"Beifei, I also have a gift for you, put it in the bedroom, you go and have a look?"

Zhou Feifei had almost finished eating, she took out a tissue to wipe off the oil stains on the corners of her mouth, her eyes were shining brightly: "Okay, I'll go and have a look."

However, the moment she walked into the bedroom, Qu Zhiyi locked the bedroom door.

"I'm sorry Feifei, you stay inside for a while, I don't want to implicate you."

Qu Zhiyi ignored the noise from the bedroom, rushed to the dining table, took Zhou Feifei's mobile phone, entered the password she knew by heart, and clicked on the address book to send a message to Shao Cheng.

[Come to my house now, let's have a good talk. ]

After Qu Zhiyi sent the address, he took out the anti-wolf electric stick from the shoe cabinet and weighed it in his hand, then went back to the table and stared at the clock on the wall in a daze, waiting for Shao Cheng's arrival.

Shao Cheng is very patient with prey that doesn't catch him, especially his current character design is still a cheeky prodigal son, he will rush over overjoyed when he sees the information, and then it's time for her to close the net.

"What do you want to do, Zhiyi? Don't be stupid!" Zhou Feifei was so anxious that she hammered on the door desperately, "Think about your parents, and me, there is still time to turn around now!"

"Beifei, I want to treat you to a good show."

Soothing Zhou Feifei's emotions, Qu Zhiyi sat on the chair and stared at the ceiling, muttering to herself: "I can't turn back."

……

Shao Cheng is actually not particularly licking, he knows that blindly pestering will not have any effect, and will even push people out, so he needs to create a process of pushing and pulling.

During this period of time, he seldom approached Zhou Feifei, and if he was rejected, he would have nothing more to say.Sure enough, she finally couldn't help but ask him to meet.

Shao Cheng drove to his destination vigorously, passing by a flower shop and bought a bouquet of flowers specially.He parked the car downstairs ostentatiously and walked into the stairs.

This was the first time he came to Zhou Feifei's house, and he was both excited and nervous, excited because he was about to succeed, nervous but not knowing why.

Shao Cheng straightened his clothes and rang the doorbell.

The anti-theft door was quickly opened, with a smile on his face and holding flowers.Unexpectedly, the tingling sensation of the electric shock suddenly came from his neck, and before he could react, he fell to the ground unconscious.

When he woke up, he found that he had a sour rag stuffed into his mouth, his hands were tied behind the back of the chair, and his ankles were tied so that he couldn't move.

"Long time no see." A sullen voice sounded in Shao Cheng's ear, he shuddered suddenly, tried his best to look sideways, his corner of the eye glanced at a section of yellowed hair.

When he saw the other person's appearance clearly, his expression was terrified, his face was as pale as a ghost, but he couldn't make a sound.

Qu Zhiyi raised the corners of her lips: "It seems that you still remember me." She took the rag from Shao Cheng's mouth, suppressed her smile, and the ice covered her eyes, "Should I settle what you owe me? debt?"

"Listen to me." Shao Cheng lost his position and hurriedly explained, "Xi Mu from East Group ordered me to do this! He told me to lie to you!"

Qu Zhiyi played with the fruit knife and turned a deaf ear.

Shao Cheng's teeth were chattering. He pretended to be calm and said, "Let me go, and I'll return the money to you. Killing me is the worst deal. Not only will you not get the money, but you will have to pay for it for the rest of your life."

Qu Zhiyi seemed to have heard a big joke, her cheeks turned white from biting, "Do you know where the money came from?" She raised the knife and stabbed it in Shao Cheng's thigh quickly, blood flowed immediately, "That's the reward I got for killing Xi Qingxi."

"Hiss—" Shao Cheng gasped in pain, bit his lips tightly, and beads of sweat slipped from the corner of his forehead.

"So I don't mind having one more life than yours, do you understand?"
