    ?

    The wide corridor is decorated with multi-faceted mirrors, like a crystal palace.  The singing can be heard faintly, but it is not noisy, which shows that the sound insulation effect is extraordinary.

    Zhou Shaoting walked in front, Xiao Shi lowered her head and followed behind, she aimed her eyes at the man's trousers, and automatically kept a distance of two or three meters from him, which made her feel safe.

    However, the footsteps of the person in front suddenly stopped in the middle of the hall.

    Xiao Shi was slightly taken aback, and quickly stopped. Looking up, she saw Zhou Shaoting standing in front of a pillar, with his right hand propped on the pillar, looking at her expressionlessly.

    She was hesitating whether to continue walking, but the man said lightly: "Come here."

    His tone was very flat, but it was like an order.

    Xiaoshi had no choice but to walk over and stop in front of him.

    The man's slender body leaned forward slightly, leaning his weight on his right hand, frowning slightly, forming a shallow "Chuan" character between his forehead.

    Seeing him like that, Xiaoshi seemed to be feeling uncomfortable, so he couldn't help asking: "What's wrong?"

    Zhou Shaoting lifted his right heel, took a light breath, and said, "Just now you stepped on it very hard."

    Xiaoshi wanted to laugh, so she pursed her mouth, tried her best to hold back, and said in a low voice, "I didn't mean to."

    "oh?"

    No wonder it wasn't intentional, it took so much effort!  He should have taken off his shoes and shown her, the toes must be swollen.  In the private room just now, he had endured it for a long time.

    "Steven!"

    The two turned their heads at the same time, and saw a foreigner in his forties waving enthusiastically at Zhou Shaoting.

    "mark", Zhou Shaoting stood up straight as if nothing had happened.

    The man came over with a smile, patted him on the shoulder, and said in English: "Steven, you left in Diehai that day in a hurry, and we still have some details to discuss."

    When Xiaoshi heard this, he remembered that day in Diehai Garden, when he was poured alcohol by Hou Qinan, the midfielder Zhou Shaoting suddenly appeared Could it be that he went to save her on purpose?

    Zhou Shaoting nodded and smiled, and said in an authentic American voice: "We can communicate another time."

    Mark said "okay" repeatedly, shook hands with Zhou Shaoting, looked at the female companion behind him, smiled politely at her, and finally said: "I hope you have a good time, we will talk next time."

    After mark left, Zhou Shaoting's gaze fell back on Xiaoshi, and he found that she was also looking at him with gratitude in her eyes, which made him a little awkward.

    "Let's go, I'll see you off, the car is outside."

    Zhou Shaoting looked at the girl in the back seat from the rearview mirror. She was looking out the window thoughtfully, with a tired expression on her face.

    Xiao Shi slowly turned her head and looked into the eyes of the man reflected in the rearview mirror, staring intently at the road ahead without distraction.

    The two looked back, bumped into each other occasionally, and then moved away quietly.

    "where to live?"

    "Yishan Road, Green Garden."

    "Why do you live so far away?" Zhou Shaoting's question seemed to be reproachful.

    "It's okay, the apartment environment is good, and the rent is also suitable."

    Zhou Shaoting didn't say anything more.

    There is some congestion on the road, and the speed of the traffic is gradually slowing down.

    He suddenly said again, "Just now in the private room, I asked you if you forgot something, I didn't want you to say sorry."

    "Huh?" Xiao Shi was puzzled.

    "I remember I told you that you don't need to force yourself to do what you don't want to do. Forgot?" Zhou Shaoting's eyes came from the rearview mirror, with a rare warmth.

    These words are indeed familiar, Xiaoshi tried hard to recall, and suddenly remembered what he said to Jonny in the j plus bar on her birthday.

    She didn't drink or dance that day, and she seemed very out of place, so she asked him guiltyly, would it be embarrassing to take her out?  That's what he told her: "No. You don't have to force yourself to do things you don't want to do."

    Unexpectedly, he still remembered this sentence.  Xiaoshi's heart was full of mixed feelings.

    While waiting for the red light, Zhou Shaoting picked up his mobile phone, swiped it a few times with one hand, and Xiaoshi immediately received a call.

    "You save this number, and if Hou Qinan troubles you in the future, you might as well tell me." Zhou Shaoting raised his eyes, watched Xiao Shi lower his head and operate the phone, and then continued: "This is my private number, don't tell others.  I called you that day to make an appointment to have dinner at Mulanfang, and I used my work phone."

    Xiao Shi saved the number according to his request, looked up at the rearview mirror, and said, "I won't tell anyone."

    WeeklyThere are only her frowns and smiles, by the campfire, by the clear stream, close at hand, within reach.

    However, eight years slipped away like sand between fingers, and there are thousands of rivers and mountains lying between them.

    Zhou Shaoting finally took hold of the small comb, put it in an envelope, sealed it, and pressed it on the table with his hand.

    His gaze fell back to the place he had just marked on the document in front of him. The horizontal line drawn by the signature pen pierced through the back of the paper, and the paper was a little scratched.

    This is a detailed profile.  The private detective agency that provided this information has always acted meticulously and steadily. Zhou Shaoting had cooperated with them once before, and the result did not disappoint him.

    The first half of this document is Mr. Kang Ning's extremely detailed personal resume. Zhou Shaoting browsed through it in a hurry, and felt relieved when he found no bad deeds.

    The second half is a list of his "important relationships".

    Both parents are from Wuxi, employees of state-owned enterprises, and have already retired.  Only son, unmarried.

    Girlfriend Yan Xiaoshi is a staff member of the marketing department of Kelin Environmental Protection Co., Ltd.

    When Zhou Shaoting saw this, he couldn't help pressing his eyes with two fingers¡ª"Girlfriend Yan Xiaoshi", these black square characters seemed to turn into awls, which made his eyes hurt.

    However, when his eyes swept to the next line, the dull pain was immediately replaced by annoyance.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
