"Don't cry." "No," I said.

Zhou Jin looked at me. His eyes were restrained, but I could still see the pain in them.

"Goodbye, Zhou Jin." A smile spread across my face.

Step by step, Zhou Jin backed up until he finally reached the elevator. He stepped into the elevator and I watched as the elevator door slowly closed, and the numbers on it slowly decreased.

If he comes back to find me, I won't care about what Zhou Ze says, and I won't care about some bullshit agreement.

But I stood at the door waiting for a long time, Zhou Jin did not come back, my tears finally fell at this moment.

I turned and opened the door. The window was still open, and the night wind brought a cool breeze into the room.

I slump on the sofa and take a sip of the wine that's on the table. I don't know if it's because I'm too tired or because I'm relaxing, but I'm falling asleep.

I was awakened by the sound of a cell phone ringing. When I opened my eyes, it was still dark outside.

I answered with my eyes closed.

"Do you know a person called Zhou Jin?" It was a rough male voice on the other end. "He's making trouble here. Come on over."

After he said his address, the call ended with a "pa" sound. I snapped out of my daze as I held my phone. Just what had happened to him? What had happened to him?

As I put on my jacket, I headed outside. There were very few taxis outside, so I stood by the side of the road for more than ten minutes and didn't get a taxi. I simply walked to the address the man had mentioned, which was a bar.

I thought of the wounded look in his eyes when I saw Zhou Jin in the evening.

The cool night wind made me more and more awake. I was worried that something would happen to Zhou Jin, so I ran faster and faster. By the time I reached the bar, I was on the verge of collapsing onto the ground.

I entered the bar, and the smell of it rushed into my nose as soon as I entered. Even though it was midnight, there were still a lot of people here, with what I called loud music playing, and countless men and women dancing together, and on the counter, girls in black leather shorts and vests dancing, and men whistling to her from below.

I frowned and walked inside. I had never liked this kind of environment.

"Where's Zhou Jin?" I finally got a waiter out of the crowd and asked.

"Zhou Jin?" He said without thinking, "At the back door."

"Thank you."

I asked him where the back door was and he went off to greet his guests.

I bypassed the red men and women and finally reached the so-called back door.

I opened the back door and saw a small alley. There were a lot of people lying in this alley, no wonder that waiter didn't even think about letting me come to the back door.

There was a trash can near the back door, and an unpleasant smell entered my nose. Even if it was for Zhou Jin, I didn't want to stay here for even a second longer. However, I gritted my teeth and shouted, "Zhou Jin!"

"Zhou Jin!" I called again.

Just then a hand fell on my shoulder, and I jerked him away, a drunk man, and he saw me shake him off and say something unpleasantly.

"Zhou Jin!" At this point, I no longer care about dirty, I just want to find Zhou Jin quickly, and then immediately leave here.

After covering my nose with my hands for a short distance, I finally found Zhou Jin in the corner of the alley.

He was sitting against the wall, still wearing his old clothes. His eyes were closed, and he was mumbling something, and I noticed that his clothes were dirty and stained with blood.

I gave him a nudge. "Zhou Jin, can you get up?"

Zhou Jin ignored me.

"Zhou Jin …" I pushed him again, but he didn't wake up. He smelled of wine, and I didn't know how much.

I took his arm and tried to pull him up, but he gave me a shove and almost pushed me down.

I walked into the bar and pulled out a waiter. I promised him that if he helped me get Zhou Jin into a taxi, I would give him money.

It took me almost an hour to get Zhou Jin to the bed in the hotel room, but he still felt like he was asleep and didn't know anything about what had happened.

I took off his clothes to wipe him down, and I saw that there were scratches all over his body, and there was blood on them, and a wound on his forehead.

I took off his clothes and cleaned him and changed his clothes.

I sat on the edge of the bed and watched him. He slept very quietly.

"Xia Ying..." Zhou Jin suddenly called out my name, and he slowly opened his eyes. His eyes were still filled with a misty drunkenness. "Ah, you're here!" His voice was so gentle that I wanted to hug him and comfort him.

Just as I was expecting him to say something, he closed his eyes again and fell asleep.

"Zhou Ze?" I went to the bathroom and called Zhou Jin's brother.

Zhou Ze was probably not asleep yet, but the call was immediately connected. No one could tell if he was tired or not.

"I didn't return Zhou Jin to you for you to let him mess around." I am a little angry.

Zhou Ze was startled, then asked: "Where is he?"

I told him the name of the hotel and hung up. About half an hour later, there was a knock on the door.

I opened the door and saw Zhou Ze standing at the doorway. He was just like the last time, wearing a black suit and diamond cufflinks.

But it was half past three in the morning, and most people were asleep.

"Where is he?" Zhou Ze asked, his tone still filled with estrangement, but the gaze he looked at me with was no longer filled with disdain.

"Over there." I pointed at Zhou Jin, who was lying on the bed, and said, "Since you are so worried about your little brother, can't you look favorably on him? If it wasn't for me, he wouldn't know how long he'd be sleeping next to the trash can. "

Zhou Ze looked at me without saying a word, and directly went to Zhou Jin's bedside, as though he was checking if he was safe. When he saw the wound on Zhou Jin's forehead, he frowned, and the coldness on his body increased.

"You can go now." Zhou Ze said without turning his head, his tone didn't carry even the slightest bit of emotion or warmth.

How in the world did a family bring up two people with completely different personalities?

I looked at him and thought it was good to go, so I put on my coat and picked up my handbag and went outside.

"Thank you." Just as I was about to open the door and leave, I suddenly heard Zhou Ze's words. His voice was very soft, and it disappeared with a gust of wind.

I hung my head and smiled, then closed the door.
