    ?

    Xiaoshi's eyes widened in horror, but she was powerless to resist. She could only let the man hold her neck and bring her face close to her lips. She heard the man say in a word: "I want you to taste everything  My suffering!"

    As soon as the words fell, her body was pushed away by a powerful force, and the railing of the balcony suddenly disappeared, and she just fell straight down from the 12th floor.

    The feeling of weightlessness made her whole body tense, almost convulsed. She wanted to shout, but she couldn't make a sound. She could only close her eyes and tighten her muscles to fight against the overwhelming fear.

    Suddenly, her leg twitched violently, and the feeling of weightlessness disappeared, but she didn't feel the pain of being hit hard on the ground and her internal organs were ripped apart, but was surrounded by boundless darkness.

    She felt her heavy breathing, as if there was ice-cold water flowing on her forehead, bringing mint-like coolness to her brain, and her mind gradually cleared up, before she suddenly realized that the chaotic scene just now was just a dream.

    Xiang Wan's light spread softly on the writing desk and bedside through the floral curtains. The room was quiet and warm. It was not a hospital, but her small bedroom.

    Xiaoshi moved her body, only to feel that her whole body was wet with sweat, her underwear was sticky and her skin was sticky, and the bed was unbearably hot and extremely uncomfortable.

    Just as she sat up with her arms propped up, a piece of wet stuff fell from her forehead onto the quilt. She took a closer look and found that it was a wet towel. She grabbed it with her hands and felt a little cool.

    The memory before the dream came back intact, and she remembered that it was Zhou Shaoting who sent her home.

    She wiped her face with a cold towel, let out a long breath, looked around, the curtains were closed, the door was half open, the room was empty, and the person who sent her home had quietly left  .

    Xiaoshi recalled the dream just now, and felt inexplicable loss in his heart.

    Although it was not a sweet dream, it was a nightmare that left her with lingering fears.  However, in the dream, she can hug him without any scruples, say something to him that has been suppressed in her heart for a long time, and she can also be hugged by him, even if there is a premeditated plan to kill her behind that tenderness, what does it matter?  ?

    That dangerous, bewitching moment of tenderness is something she dare not expect in reality.

    In the dream, their love, hatred, life and death are all vigorous, burning for a moment, without regret.

    But in reality, they can only be separated from each other, pretending to be lukewarm in front of others, jealous and tangled behind others, unclear

    Xiao Shi covered his chest with his hands, tried to calm himself down, and rolled his eyes, but the nerve from the eye socket to the back of his head was extremely sore.

    She turned her head and saw a glass of water and a few pills on the writing table next to the bed, which should have been prepared by Zhou Shaoting for her.

    She stretched out her hand to grab the pills, stuffed them all into her mouth without thinking, took another big sip of water, and raised her head to flush the pills down.

    Unexpectedly, the taste of the water was extremely spicy, with a strong smell of ginger, rushing straight to her dry, itchy and burning throat.

    Xiao Shi was unprepared and coughed from choking.

    Just after coughing twice, the bedroom door was suddenly pushed open!

    She jumped in fright, hoarsely exclaimed, and turned around abruptly, almost throwing the water glass in her hand on the ground.

    The person who pushed the door took a step forward, took the water glass from her hand and put it on the table, and said in a deep voice, "I'll drink the ginger soup when it's hot."

    Xiaoshi looked up and saw that it was Zhou Shaoting, and he hadn't left yet!

    Then, the dream that hadn't dissipated and the reality overlapped together, forming a strange feeling in her heart, feeling kind and a little afraid of the man in front of her.

    Zhou Shaoting did not leave, and sat in the living room, changing a cold towel to Xiaoshi's forehead every once in a while.  Such a high temperature is no joke.

    Just now he heard coughing in the house, so he rushed over to check, but unexpectedly scared her.

    He looked at the woman in front of him, standing on the ground in a daze, the temple hair on his forehead was a little wet, obviously sweating, one of his bare feet was pulled on the slippers, and the other was standing on the cold floor.

    Zhou Shaoting frowned again, and said in a stern tone, "Go back and lie down under the quilt, you just sweated, don't catch a cold anymore!"

    Xiao Shi looked back at the bed, and was not in a hurry to lie back down. She just put the overcoat that was pressed on the quilt on her body and asked, "Why haven't you left yet?"

    "Getting ready to go."

    Zhou Shaoting originally wanted to say, wait until you wake up before leaving, but for some reason, it ended up like this.

    He lowered his head to look at his watch, and after a while, he raised his head and said, "Someone will bring you dinner later."

    Xiaoshi was surprised,On the other hand, Mr. Cheng is out-of-the-box, quick-witted, and has his own opinions, so he doesn't follow Mr. Cheng's lead.

    After two years in Yijiang, his influence cannot be underestimated, and he has become an important figure second only to Cheng Yongsheng and Zhou Shaoting.

    However, when his career was in full swing and he was being praised and envied by people, he suddenly retreated bravely and disappeared for more than half a year.

    But just when people rumored that he was going to quit the business world and go far away, he suddenly appeared again, and followed in Zhou Shaoting's footsteps to return to China in one fell swoop. It seemed that he was going to flex his muscles in Yijiang's Shanghai headquarters.

    Xiao Shi wondered, "Where did he go during those six months?"

    She has also heard a lot of rumors about this "Mr. Cheng" recently. In the colorful descriptions, besides his outstanding qualities of being young, promising, and suave, he also has an extra layer of charming romantic temperament.  , his style of acting is erratic like the wind, making it elusive.

    As for the half a year when he disappeared, there are five or six versions of interpretations, some say that he went on an expedition to the sea, some say that he went to the Middle East to receive secret training, some say that he married a certain actress in Europe, and some say that he went to the Middle East to receive secret training.  It is said that she had a quarrel with Mr. Zhou and retired, and what is more, she was put under house arrest by Zhou ShaotingOf course, Xiao Shi would not believe the last exaggerated conjecture.

    However, she was really curious as to which version was closer to the truth.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
