"How are my uncle and father?" I couldn't wait to ask him, and I didn't even bother to correct what he called me.

He raised his hand to fiddle with his long golden hair, and said, "It's been so long since I've seen you, and you asked me to help you as soon as we met. You are really heartless."

When he said that, I breathed a sigh of relief. In any case, their lives were saved.

Daniel has always been measured, he knows the priorities, and if my uncle and father were dead, he would not be in the mood to tease me.

I wiped the cold sweat off my face with the back of my hand, then looked up, and a delicate handkerchief appeared in front of my eyes.

"My eldest lady, you are really in a state of distress. If you were handed a mirror, you would definitely cry bitterly because of your dusty face."

He chanted this passage with the rhythm of singing, like a poet addicted to art.

However, no one knew better than me what he was really like under his artist appearance, so I took the handkerchief and asked him, "Didn't you say you'd never go back to District [-] again?"

"You also know that I'm telling lies, otherwise why would you come to me." He took off a rubber band from his wrist and tied his long hair in a ponytail.

"I just passed by by chance." I said firmly.

"Then try your luck?" He ruthlessly exposed me, "What did I say, Song Dongyang will abandon you sooner or later, why don't you have to find brother to cry?"

I sighed and said, "Well, you're right."

Perhaps my attitude was too good, my best friend was silent for a while, and then said: "The two uncles are fine, my people brought them out in advance, and sent in the bodies of two death row prisoners."

"What about the rest?"

"The fire started near the bedroom of the two uncles. Others were injured to some extent, but they did not die."

I finally breathed a sigh of relief and solemnly bowed down to salute him—"Thank you."

He waited for me to salute before he said, "You are my best friend, why do you salute me?"

I smiled and said, "Then why didn't you stop me?"

"You still owe me an apology." His eyes were bright and charming, no doubt he was the dream lover of all the girls in District [-] back then, "Although I knew clearly that you would betray me, but I really waited until that day happened. , I still can't avoid being sad. My eldest lady, you broke my heart for your man..."

"Stop!" I was in a bad mood and had to interrupt him, "Daniel, I want to know the truth about last night."

"What do you want in exchange?" His expression instantly became rigid and serious.

"What do you want?" I really don't know what to exchange. Daniel doesn't lack money, power, or beauty. It's hard for me to target.

Daniel yawned a little, and he said, "You promise me that you will never be with Song Dongyang."

"Together?"

"Together like a man and a woman."

I laughed out loud: "How could Song Dongyang and I...?"

"Promise me." He interrupted me, his eyebrows and eyes were full of seriousness.

"Okay, I will answer..."

"Boom—" The sound of the salute suddenly interrupted my words. I turned my head and looked at the smoke rising in the midair during the day.

"Today is the wedding of Song Dongyang and Chi Hui," Daniel said to me meaningfully. "As for the truth you want to know, I can tell you clearly that it was Chi Hui who personally sent someone to light the fire. Tell me, Song Dongyang Do you know he did it?"

"Boom-boom-boom-boom-"

The sound of gun salutes one after another made it difficult for me to gain the ability to think. Maybe I didn't want to think about Daniel's question at all.

I chose the simplest and crudest way, and I want to ask the truth in person.

I asked Daniel, "I'm going to get into trouble, would you like to come with me?"

Daniel turned around on the spot, his golden ponytail glistening in the sun, half kneeling on the ground, performing a standard knight salute.

He said: "My eldest lady, no matter when you ask, there is always only one answer for me-I am willing."

I was a little embarrassed, but more moved, and I also cooperated with him, using a chant-style sentence: "My best friend, how lucky I am to meet you."

He chuckled, stood up, looked down at my clothes, and said, "Go take a shower, change your clothes, and I'll arrange the car."

"it is good."

I took a quick shower and changed into the clothes Daniel had prepared for me.This outfit looked familiar to me, and it took me a while to remember that it was designed by Daniel himself when I was his second-in-command.

I was his deputy at that time, just to steal the secrets in his hands, but he introduced me as a close friend, except occasionally jokingly calling me "Miss".

I seriously protested his title and asked why he was referring to me in such a feminine way.

His face was full of injuries, and after a while, he said softly: "You are like an angel living in the world, you are beautiful, proud but fragile, you are the 'Miss' in my heart."

Relying on these words, he broke through the barrier in my heart, and the false friendship in the past inevitably added two pieces of sincerity.

Occasionally I think, if I had met him first, maybe I wouldn't have chosen to betray him.

But there is no "if" or "maybe" in life. Song Dongyang is my first and most important friend.

In order to help him, at that time I could be ruthless and betray everyone, including myself.

The car was not going fast, and I couldn't keep up my spirits along the way, and I was a little confused.When the car stopped at the gate of the church, Daniel stared at me worriedly. He said, "There's no need to rush to this day. If you want, I'll send you out of District [-] right now."

I smiled, and I said, "Daniel, I want to give up on myself completely."

He stopped talking, just opened the door, got out of the car first, bent slightly, and stretched out his hand to me.

I didn't hold his hand, because I clearly understood that I was not his "Miss".

I got out of the car, stepped on the scarlet carpet, and walked towards the church calmly under the protection of Daniel's subordinates.

I pushed open the closed door of the church, just in time to hear the priest ask the newcomer-"Are you willing?"

The loud sound of the door opening made the eyes of the guests and hosts fall on me. I raised my gun and aimed it in the direction of the couple.

I said, "Sorry to bother you guys, I just wanted to ask a quick question."

Holding the gun, I walked step by step towards Song Dongyang and Chi Hui.

Daniel's subordinates also raised their guns and confronted the guards in the church.

I stopped five meters away from the prospective newcomers and pointed my gun at Chi Hui, not caring the slightest bit about the guards pointing their guns at me.

I asked Song Dongyang: "Do you know? He killed my father and my uncle."

Song Dongyang is wearing a white suit today, clean and noble, like a god.

He looked at me coldly and said, "They didn't treat you well, you shouldn't do this for them."

Before I could refute Song Dongyang's words, I heard Chi Hui say the first sentence since I knew him.

He said, "brother, don't be impulsive."

The tense strings in my brain collapsed in an instant, and my finger pulled the trigger. In the next instant, Song Dongyang stood in front of Chi Hui as if he had a premonition.

The bullet pierced through the white suit, and bloody flowers bloomed. Song Dongyang hugged Chi Hui, and Chi Hui screamed instantly. He pointed at me and shouted: "Kill him——"

I was dumbfounded at that moment, I never imagined that Song Dongyang would block my bullet for Chi Hui.

The scene in front of me was absurd, but it happened to be the truth. I couldn't see Song Dongyang's expression clearly at the moment, but I could clearly hear the sound of something breaking.

There were screams one after another, and the scene suddenly became chaotic. I turned my head and found that the glass chandelier on the ceiling of the church fell to the ground, and the ground was full of transparent glass shards.

Someone held my hand, and someone covered my sight with a thick coat. I was in a daze, drifting with the crowd, not knowing the way forward. When I heard the roar of the car again, I suddenly opened the coat. Daniel's worried face.

He said, "I shouldn't have allowed you to be capricious."

He added: "Song Dongyang won't die, you just shot him in the shoulder."

I moved my lips, trying to explain that I didn't care about Song Dongyang's life or death at all, but found that I couldn't say it.

I never thought that one day, my bullet would enter Song Dongyang's body, just like I never thought that one day, Song Dongyang and I would embark on the road of indifference and separation.

Everything is like a tragedy pieced together by chance, but I just know that maybe it's all doomed long ago.

Daniel sent me out of the ninth arrondissement overnight. We changed many cars on the way, and finally he said goodbye to me at the station in the eighth arrondissement.

I invited him to come with me and live in the third district for a while.

But he shook his head and said, "Last time you saw me off, this time it's my turn to see you off. My eldest lady, get in the car quickly, I'll watch you go."

I gave him a sideways look, but got into the car anyway, and I sat on the side of the car close to him, waving goodbye to him through the glass, and he stared at me for a while, but his eyes were sparkling.

I wondered if it was my illusion, but he generously wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with the back of his hand.

He said something to me, but I couldn't hear it through the window.

The train was rumbling and carrying me all the way forward. Through the window, I watched his figure gradually shrink and finally disappear.
