After dinner, Bai Shuiru returned to the bedroom and immediately collapsed on the single sofa, looking at the customized requirements of Li Wai recorded on her mobile phone. Her thoughts unconsciously jumped to the daze when she was surrounded by Li Wai's fans in the car and couldn't stop taking pictures. Then her thoughts drifted uncontrollably to the scene in the afternoon when she happened to meet Hao Mianmian.

I seem to remember something...

Bai Shuiru sat up straight, clicked on the photos he took in the afternoon, stared at them for ten seconds, then closed his eyes to recall the past.

Did I see it at all?

Could it be that it sometimes works and sometimes doesn’t?

After fruitless thinking, Bai Shuiru unconsciously pressed the button to start a video call with Hao Mianmian. However, the invitation was quickly interrupted by her within less than two seconds.

The little girl turned around and fell on the bed. She reached out to grab the alpaca doll and held it in her arms. Her eyes unconsciously looked back and sideways at the mobile phone thrown at the end of the bed.

Why am I afraid to confirm it with Mianmian?

My mind was confused from thinking, as if it was trapped in an endless fog, until there was a knock on the door.

Bai Shuiru sat up straight with a start and looked at his phone. He was inexplicably relieved that the screen remained dark and silent.

I kept thinking about this question, but I didn't have the courage to verify it.

I am worried that if I am no longer "Shui Ru", no one will confirm my existence and sudden departure?

No, Wu, Wuchu, Wuchu should be able to prove me...

By the way, this broken stone Wuchu hasn’t said a word for a long time. What is he busy with?

The second knock on the door pulled Bai Shuiru out of his thoughts and he quickly answered the door.

Hei Huomian pushed open the door, stood at the door and stared at her for two seconds before asking:

"Did I wake you up?"

There was an inexplicable apology in his gentle tone.

As a result, she also felt inexplicably nervous and quickly stood up and gestured to the other party to come in.

"No, it's not. Boss, please come in."

Bai Shuiru glanced at her phone: 21:56.

Has she been in a daze for that long?

"You do your work, I'll work."

"Oh."

Hei Huomian fully unfolded the screen, sat down at the table and put down the computer. After making all the preparations, he finally allowed himself to turn his head and look at her through the thin silk curtain.

Bai Shuiru hurriedly leaned against the bed screen with a tablet in her arms, flipping through some foreign accessories.

She didn't come to her senses until her tailbone felt slightly numb. She looked at the shadow of the man who was concentrating on his work reflected on the screen.

What if it was him?

Would he be willing to justify my existence and...leave?

The two of them were separated by a thin screen, their respective thoughts as invisible as breathing, and they did not disturb each other, but in fact they had already been deeply entangled.

Hei Huomian was typing on the laptop keyboard. When he came to his senses, he found that he had typed about ten thousand characters of garbled text that he had no idea what was going on.

He frowned, looked at his hands, and stood up from his seat.

After hesitating behind the screen for five minutes, he stepped out lightly and stood beside the bed. His eyes were fixed on the dim light of the scented candle on the bedside table, and he was caressing her satisfied and sweet sleeping face.

If you need a forest, I will allocate a forest just for you to protect your well-being.

When Heihuo Mian realized that his legs and feet were stiff and slightly numb, he subconsciously turned his head to look out the window.

Dawn has arrived, and the dark blue night sky has been dyed by the moonlight, entangled into star blue.

At the same time, in the suburbs of the neighboring city.

As Min Ying ordered "Action!" through the earphone, the criminal police brigade lurking in the dark immediately attacked and captured the two parties in the transaction on the spot.

Min Ying ordered his subordinates to bring the suspects back for interrogation one by one, while he paced and thought in front of boxes of local currency and popular ghost money among the people.

"Captain Min, this time 'Hangzhou's richest man' has nothing to say! He was caught red-handed!"

The assistant watched as the twenty or so young men rescued in the operation were taken away by ambulance, and continued to curse:

"He is already over 80 years old, and he still doesn't want to take a good rest. He has to do these evil things. It would be a miracle if God can let him live a hundred years!"

Min Ying waved his hand to let his subordinates take away the evidence and currency, nodded slowly, and replied as if talking to himself:

"As you said, Hangci's actions are both illegal and detrimental to his virtue. I still don't understand why he managed to lure so many young and middle-aged people and didn't make any other use of them, but brutally killed them all at the same time. What was his ultimate purpose?"

The assistant nudged his boss's arm with his elbow and smiled encouragingly:

"We will find out sooner or later! This time we merged the cases across cities and successfully arrested the suspects and obtained solid evidence. Isn't this the best progress?"

Min Ying lowered his eyes and nodded in agreement.

The assistant then put his arm around his shoulders and suggested:

"Captain Min, let's go. We have to record statements from 40 or 50 people!"

By the time Min Ying, his assistant and police from the neighboring city finished taking the statements overnight, it was already eight or nine in the morning.

The two of them hurriedly ate breakfast at a roadside stall and hurried back to their hotel room to catch up on some sleep.

"We have a preliminary understanding of the case. We can go back to Shenta tomorrow and follow the clues to find the other wealthy people on the list."

Assistant Min Ying yawned as he walked out of the bathroom, then lay down on his bed and said lazily:

"Captain Min, you should also go to bed early."

Min Ying nodded and said good night. Just as he took out some spare clothes from his backpack, he heard the assistant in the next bed snoring.

Min Ying covered the other person with the quilt, turned around and was about to zip up his backpack and go take a shower, but he caught a glimpse of the small wooden box that he had intentionally stored among the clothes when packing his luggage.

He held the small box tightly in his palm, sat on the edge of the bed, and slowly loosened his fingers as if he was afraid that it would fly away. He opened the lid of the box and took out a sterling silver basketball keychain from inside.

Yesterday afternoon in the coffee bar, when Bai Shuiru placed the box in the middle of the table and pushed it in front of him, he vaguely guessed what was inside.

"Brother Min Ying, although many things have changed with the passage of time, I still think that this gift that has been put away for several years should be given to you."

"This is a gift prepared for you by my old self."

“You, both in the past and in the present, have the right to receive this gift. In exchange, please leave everything in the past.”

The young man's eyes gently stroked the silver pendant in his palm with his fingertips. Its luster was still as soft and tangible as his memory.

Min Ying remembers this basketball pendant very clearly.

That day, he, a senior in high school, and she, a junior in junior high, passed by a high-end sterling silver jewelry store, and she saw the basketball pendant in the window at first sight.

"Brother Min Ying, let's go in and take a look~!"

"Please feel free to take a look." The saleslady observed the man's expression and immediately took out the pendant and introduced it in detail:

"This pendant can be opened! You can put incense balls and use it as a scent bag, which will give off fragrance wherever you go. You can also imitate the ancients and tie your lover's or your own hair inside it as a token of love."

The boy was leaning against the counter, spinning a basketball between his fingers, a sneer on his lips.

"Sister, even I know that in ancient times, men and women would only tie their hair together when they got married, so there is the saying 'tied couple'."

The boy flipped the spinning basketball between his fingers to his other hand, "She and I are far from the legal age for marriage~!"

Xiao Shuiru quickly glanced at the boy in black and pouted her lips slightly.

Min Ying smiled, and his unfocused gaze fell back on the pendant in his palm.

He followed his mind with his long fingers and gently pressed the protrusion that was connected to the pendant. With a slight "click" sound, the pendant opened from the middle, revealing a little light blue layered inside.

He also remembered that it was the piece of silk he and she bought.

"Brother Min Ying, do you think this 'sea and sky blue' is as clear as water and as dreamy as fantasy?"

“I don’t think so~!”

"Humph!"

This piece of sea and sky blue silk hides both of their names.

Xiao Shuiru must have worked secretly for a long time at that time to save enough money to buy this pendant for him.

He was the one who lost her.

Min Ying subconsciously clenched his fist and held the pendant tightly in his palm. Even though the feeling of the hard object caused him discomfort, he still did not loosen his grip at all.

If at that time, he had not felt that he had to wait until he was capable enough to protect his little girl, he would not have decided to study abroad, nor would he have missed her.

But now, she has another better man who treats her better, and she trusts him too.

That's good.

Shenta City, Sucong Manor.

Hei Huo Mian had just finished his breakfast and picked up his napkin when he heard Wu Chu in his mind stretching and calling out in a drawn-out voice:

[Yeah~! After a good breakfast, it’s time to practice calligraphy! ]

You really know how to pick the time! I just want to catch up on some sleep.

[It's not good for your health to sleep right after eating. You can practice calligraphy in half an hour, which is just right~! ]

Hei Huomian threw the napkin on the table, stood up and took a few steps. In a trance, he suddenly realized that he had already been sitting at the desk.

He glanced around and caught a glimpse of the book "I Married My Ex's Uncle After We Break Up" on the table. He frowned, opened it, and picked up his pen to copy it.

Heihuomian felt tired and just after yawning, he found that he had lay down without knowing when. The texture of the bedding under his palm was very familiar, it was the bedding on his bedroom bed.

Hei Huomian immediately sat up from his stupor, took off his blindfold, and unconsciously called out, "Bai Shuiru?"

"Mr. Black, I'm here. What's up?"

Bai Shuiru held the pliers and walked quickly to the bedside.

"No, it's okay."

The man looked at his watch and saw that it was only 08:50.

He buried his head in his palms, and slowly inserted his long fingers into the thick medium-length hair.

Did I just wake up, or did I just doze off?

He suddenly woke up as if he had discovered some shocking secret.

No! Could it be that Bai Shuiru can no longer hypnotize me?

Could it be that she is really not my little brush? !
