I tilted my head to look at him and said, "If it wasn't my brother, could it be your brother?"

Hearing my unkind tone, Qiao Rui did not ask anymore.

"How long are you going to keep bothering me?" Just as I was about to reach my apartment building, I finally couldn't hold it in anymore and asked. Qiao Rui walking beside me like a boyfriend made me feel really sick.

Qiao Rui laughed, maybe he thought that he was smiling very handsomely, he said, "Until the moment you accept me."

"What did you see in me?" I tilted my head to look at him. "I've been very annoyed recently. I really don't want to guess with you anymore."

Qiao Rui looked at me seriously, his peach blossom eyes were filled with deep emotions, after being silent for a long time, he suddenly said, "Why don't you believe that I really like you?"

"I don't believe it." I dropped the sentence and hurried away.

Of course I don't believe it. Why should I?

Qiao Rui walked a few steps forward and grabbed my hand. His hand was still warm, and I tried to shake it off, but he held my hand tightly.

In this busy street, I was afraid that I would be seen, so I said, "Let me go."

Qiao Rui looked at me and he withdrew his usual mischievous smile. He looked at me and said, "Why don't you believe in yourself? Believe that you have charm, believe that you can attract others, and believe that your age and appearance are nothing. "

And at this moment, Qiao Rui also let go of me. Just now, I saw the real him, and everything he did in front of me was indeed just an act.

I shook my hands, as if I was shaking off something dirty, I looked at Qiao Rui, then turned and quickly walked into the apartment.

However, although I suspect Qiao Rui, when I returned home, my mind was filled with Zhou Jin's face and I remembered his expression when he left me.

This time, he deserved to die.

He should have given up.

In the middle of the night, I stood on the balcony and smoked a cigarette.

I underestimated his persistence. If only I hadn't provoked him from the start.

I felt a little troubled and heartbroken. The thing that I was most worried about had happened. It was just a night of sleep, but I had to take responsibility for it.

I don't know why the tears ran down my cheeks.

Right at that moment, my phone, which I had left on the sofa, suddenly rang. I walked slowly to the phone and picked it up. When I saw that it was Zhou Jin who had called, I was stunned.

I hesitated a moment, then rang off. I didn't want to answer.

But the phone rang again a few seconds later, and I looked at it. I knew I should hang up, but I was a little reluctant, so I took a deep breath and picked it up.

"Zhou Jin …" My voice is trembling a little. I'm trying to keep my emotions under control.

I could hear the wind on the other end, and I could hear Zhou Jin's breathing, but he didn't say anything.

"Zhou Jin?" I called his name again.

"Xia Ying, I want to see you." Zhou Jin finally spoke, his voice low and hoarse, completely different from his usual self.

"No." I refused.

Zhou Jin paused for a moment, then said, "Please don't hide from me, I just want to meet with you once, after I'm done …" I won't bother you anymore. "

The tone of his voice was strange, but I remembered that I had seen it in the day as a pair of wounded eyes.

"Alright, one last time." "No," I said.

"I'm downstairs." After saying that, Zhou Jin hung up the phone, but the sound of his phone still seemed to be able to reach my ears.

I changed and went downstairs to find him.

One last time. I said to myself.

I got off the elevator with my cell phone. I looked around for Zhou Jin, but I couldn't find him.

He may be gone. Maybe, I thought, I was completely disappointed in me.

At this moment, my cell phone suddenly rang. I looked down to see who was calling at this time, but just as I saw who was calling, my mouth was suddenly covered, my cell phone was taken away, and I hung up.

I knew who had covered my mouth, and his cool hand had betrayed him.

I struggled, but he was strong, and he seemed determined to take me away. I was dragged to a car, my hands and feet and mouth all tied up.

I leaned against the back of the car and gave up struggling. I remembered the call just now, it was from Zhou Ze.

Did he call to warn me about Zhou Jin?

I sighed in my heart and looked up at Zhou Jin. He was still wearing the same clothes he had worn during the day, and his car was moving very fast, but he didn't look at me as if he was afraid to face me.

Finally, we went to a hotel far away from town, and in the parking lot he wrapped me in a big coat from head to toe, not even showing my toes.

He held me in his arms, carefully, as if he were holding a treasure.

I was wrapped in my coat and couldn't see anything but lean against his chest.

Finally, we went straight from the parking lot to the hotel room. He put me on the bed, and although the ropes were untied from my hands and feet, he handcuffed me and connected me directly to the bedpost. He didn't untie my mouth and didn't look at me, I think he was afraid I would say something, or feel guilty looking into my eyes.

This hotel's environment was not good. The rooms were not big, and although the bedsheets and the like were clean, they were very old.

I leaned back against the bed, not knowing what Zhou Jin was going to do. He was sitting on the sofa with his back to me, seemingly at a loss as well.

Gradually, I fell asleep. I was really an unqualified prisoner. But when I opened my eyes, I found that I was still lying on the bed with a blanket over my body. Apart from the handcuffs on my wrists, the ankles had been untied and the bindings on my mouth had been removed.

Zhou Jin was sitting beside me, supporting his head with his hands. His eyes were still very clear, and he smiled when he saw me wake up. However, this smile, when matched with the current scene, was a bit terrifying.

"Zhou Jin?" I whispered his name, my voice a little husky.

He looked at me and didn't answer. He reached out and touched my face, his expression gentle and restrained.

"Zhou Jin, what are you planning to do?" I asked.

Zhou Jin looked at me seriously, and after a long while, he asked, "Did you come that night?"

Although his words were a question, his tone was very certain.

I was about to deny it, but he cut in, "Don't lie to me." There was a flash of coldness in his eyes, and I thought of his cold, distant brother.
