Gu Qingzhou came out of Li's house and went to He's pharmacy.

He Wei opened the door for Gu Qingzhou.

Today, He Wei wore a cheongsam with a foundation embroidered on Begonia, which was much more gorgeous than usual.

"Sister, people from the police station came this morning and said that the Li family closed the case overnight, and Dad is fine." He Wei said.

"That's great." Gu Qingzhou smiled, and finally understood why He Wei was dressed so cheerfully.

He Mengde and Mu Sanniang didn't know what to say.

Gu Qingzhou's great kindness to the He family cannot be repaid with a single thank you.

"If Lord Huo hadn't gone to talk yesterday, the people in the police department wouldn't have come to tell me." He Wei said, "Sister, you are so powerful, you know so many capable people."

Gu Qingzhou smiled.

The network of Huo Yue was indeed won by Gu Qingzhou with her ability, and she accepted He Wei's praise.

Thinking of something, Gu Qingzhou asked He Wei, "Why don't you go to school?"

"I'm taking leave today." He Wei said, "Sister, aren't you also taking leave?"

"It's all on leave, just take a day off, and my aunt will cook something delicious for you." Mu Sanniang smiled.

Everyone was in a good mood, and Mu Sanniang didn't just persuade them to study.

Mu Sanniang didn't let He Mengde open, and the business didn't do any business today. Everyone rested and made a delicious meal for her husband and children.

"Aunt, I want to eat fish." Gu Qingzhou said.

"Okay, then make fish." Mu Sanniang smiled.

Mu Sanniang and his wife went to buy vegetables, Gu Qingzhou picked vegetables in the yard, and He Wei chose the tares in the rice.

The other two children who haven't gone to school are running around in the yard, kicking the shuttlecock all over the sky, and He Wei scolds them from time to time.

"Sister, when will you and Amu get married?" He Wei asked suddenly.

Gu Qingzhou was stunned.

Seeing Simu yesterday, He Wei remembered this. He Wei's age is the time when gossip is not enough.

"You are already engaged, why haven't you gotten married yet?" He Wei said, "Although the Nanjing government stipulates that girls can only get married at the age of 20, the current law changes today and tomorrow, and only the ancestors' rules remain the same. My mother said that girls should marry as early as possible."

"Are you worried about marriage now?" Gu Qingzhou laughed.

He Wei blushed suddenly, and threw the tares on Gu Qingzhou: "You make fun of me!"

"It was you who started it." Gu Qingzhou laughed.

With such a gag, He Wei no longer cares when Gu Qingzhou gets married.

Soon, He Mengde and Mu Sanniang bought fish and came back.

Besides fish, there are shrimp and clams.

Gu Qingzhou enjoyed a simple but delicious fish and shrimp feast.

When cooking, Gu Qingzhou helped wash the dishes, and asked Mu Sanniang by the way, "Is Wei Wei engaged?"

She thought it was definitely not, but Mu Sanniang smiled and whispered, "It's fixed."

Gu Qingzhou was surprised: "I never heard her say it."

"Why is she so embarrassed to say that?" Mu Sanniang smiled, "It's a relative from the mainland. Three years ago, the wife of that family went to Yuecheng for medical treatment and lived in our house. At that time, I said that I like Wei Wei very much and want to do it. Daughter-in-law, I gave you a dowry gift. I wrote a letter not long ago, and I will get married when Wei Wei graduates."

Speaking of which, Mu Sanniang couldn't bear her daughter again. However, she is very willing to marry her daughter farther.

"...Weiwei is too sensible, our family is too burdened, sooner or later, it will drag her down. Graduating and getting married early, staying away from her parents' home, she will live a clean life." Mu Sanniang smiled.

The mother has nothing to give her daughter, so she can only hope not to drag her down.

Gu Qingzhou felt warm in his heart. He's family was full of good people, just like her wet nurse and her masters.

After the meal, Gu Qingzhou helped He Wei to wash the dishes.

It was almost half afternoon when Gu Qingzhou got up and left.

She took the tram, sat down and started to take out the English book in her handbag to pass the time while reviewing. From He's house, it takes about forty minutes for the tram to reach the place.

Someone sat beside her.

Before getting off work, the tram was relatively empty, Gu Qingzhou buried his head in reading, and didn't care who was sitting next to him.

Then, she smelled a familiar scent, like the crispness of the cigar on Si Xingpei's body.

She looked up, almost exclaiming.

It's really Si Xing Pei!

Si Xingpei is back!

He sat silently beside her, but did not speak.

This time he went out for a very short time, shorter than before.

Therefore, when he suddenly appeared in the city, Gu Qingzhou was the most surprised.

She stood up suddenly, fearing to arouse suspicion from others around her, Gu Qingzhou moved to the front of the tram, pulling the handle to stand firm.

Out of the corner of her eye, she could see that Si Xingpei was still sitting in the position just now, lowering his hat, and staring at Gu Qingzhou.

For the first time, his eyes were full of gloom, like a wolf staring at his prey.

This made Gu Qingzhou particularly uncomfortable.

Gu Qingzhou couldn't take it anymore. She moved to the front door and moved to a place very close to the door. The driver glanced at her several times, but she pretended not to see it.

Then, the tram stopped, and when the people in the car came up, when the door was about to close, Gu Qingzhou suddenly squeezed in, and then ran away.

She ran so fast that she didn't dare to look back, she only ran in one direction.

Until she was hugged by Si Xingpei.

He chased much faster than she ran.

Gu Qingzhou was out of breath and completely out of strength. She was hugged by Si Xingpei, and Venus appeared in front of her eyes.

"With your physical strength, how dare you run away from me?" Si Xingpei looked at her, "You still run when you know you can't escape, Gu Qingzhou, are you a fool?"

Gu Qingzhou was only able to breathe, and did not care to refute.

Her face was flushed, and her tears were streaming down her cheeks.

After a long while, she took a breath and pushed Si Xingpei away: "You scared me to death!"

Si Xingpei's adjutant had been driving his car to follow the tram, and the car was already in front of him now.

He threw Gu Qingzhou into the car and didn't speak.

Si Xingpei was not as kind as he used to be, nor was he as rogue as he used to be. His face was gloomy, his handsome features seemed to be covered with frost, and he looked at Gu Qingzhou quietly.

Under Yan Shuang's light cover, Gu Qingzhou felt cold, and she unconsciously shrank her shoulders.

There was a sudden silence in the carriage.

The atmosphere was gloomy, and it was so oppressive that people could not breathe. The burning in Gu Qingzhou's lungs was finally relieved a lot. She wanted to ask Si Xingpei, didn't she say that the Yangtze River went to garrison the army, why did she come back so quickly?

However, when the words reached his lips and were pressed back again, Gu Qingzhou did not speak.

Si Xingpei's actions towards Gu Qingzhou have always been forcible, and he has never been so indifferent and alienated at this moment.

It is very rare for him to meet without touching his feet.

He sat, stared straight ahead, and let the car pass through the city and down the alley.

Gu Qingzhou wanted to ask: what happened, why are you so unhappy?

After hesitating for a moment, she still asked, "Why are you back in Yuecheng now? Didn't you say it would take several months, maybe by the end of the year?"

"I'm back, are you disappointed?" Si Xingpei asked, his voice somber.

He lit a cigar.

He never smoked in the car because it would make Gu Qingzhou out of breath.

Now, he is lit, and the cigars are clear and overwhelming.

No matter how stupid Gu Qingzhou is, he knows that Si Xingpei is not happy, very unhappy.

In the past, no matter how unhappy he was, he would never vent these emotions on Gu Qingzhou. The only explanation is that Gu Qingzhou provoked him.

Gu Qingzhou suddenly remembered that no matter how far Si Xingpei went, he would leave a few adjutants to guard Gu Qingzhou in secret.

Saying that he is monitoring Gu Qingzhou is a bit unfair to him, as long as he protects Gu Qingzhou.

Gu Qingzhou followed him, and he was also worried about leaking the wind, and someone was not good for Gu Qingzhou.

So, Gu Qingzhou and Simu went to Li's house and had morning tea, and Si Xingpei knew all about it.

No wonder Gu Qingzhou saw him in the morning, it wasn't an illusion!

Gu Qingzhou rolled down the car window, fresh air poured in, and the suffocation in the car was relieved for a moment.

When the car arrived at Si Xingpei's annex, Si Xingpei got off the car, carried Gu Qingzhou on his shoulders like a sack, and took him back to his annex.

When entering the door, he put her down.

Unlike in the past, which rushed to her in a rush, after Si Xingpei put her down, he unbuttoned his military uniform and went upstairs by himself.

Gu Qingzhou stood in the hall downstairs, blank for a moment.

She was thinking, should she follow upstairs or escape?

The more silent Si Xingpei became, the more his anger became. It was the first time he treated Gu Qingzhou like this.

It is not advisable to stay here for a long time, escape is the safest policy.

She stood in front of the glass window and looked into the yard, but saw four adjutants standing in the yard, two at the gate and two at the gate.

And the backyard is empty.

It is impossible for Si Xingpei's backyard to be unguarded.

Gu Qingzhou probed, pushed open the rear window, and threw a chair out.

The prey trap clip under the turf suddenly caught the chair.

If Gu Qingzhou stepped on it, it would be her leg that would be pinched off.

She was in a cold sweat, and she was right without being reckless.

The movement in the backyard has already alarmed Si Xingpei.

Si Xingpei stood at the entrance of the stairs. He took off his shirt and wore iron-gray military uniform pants, revealing his strong and sturdy body.

When he took off his clothes, his hair was loose.

Every time his hair is messy, there is always a bloodthirsty charm, handsome and evil.

"Come up." His voice was low and gentle, "Don't mess with things."

"I want to go home!" Gu Qingzhou said.

"Do you want me to hug you, or let the adjutant carry you up?" Si Xingpei asked.

Gu Qingzhou finally chose to go up by himself.

After going upstairs, Si Xingpei went to the bathroom.

His time in the bathroom was another torment for Gu Qingzhou.

He was angry, no doubt about it.

He promised not to touch her now, which may not be credible.

He couldn't escape, but he couldn't beat him. Gu Qingzhou felt that when he faced Si Xingpei, the only killer was crying.

Si Xingpei was afraid of her crying because he felt sorry for her.

It turned out that her weapon was only relying on his love.

This weapon is the most unreliable, but its lethality is low, and it will all be used up one day.

"Go take a bath." He wrapped a bath towel and came out, misty with water vapor on his body.

Gu Qingzhou's heart sank.
