He Chuan wasn't visiting the Cheng family for the first time. He was quite familiar with the environment of the Cheng family, including Cheng Hui's room.
Cheng Hui went back to her room to wash her face and change her clothes at the same time. She had just started sweating and felt a bit sticky, which was not very comfortable. After changing her clothes, she came out of the cloakroom and saw He Chuan sitting freely on her bed. She hurriedly asked, "Aren't you in the living room?" How can you run to my room?
He Chuan: "Let's have a chat."
What to talk about? Cheng Hui subconsciously recalled that night at his home a week ago and that intimate embrace. Just thinking about it made him feel uncomfortable all over.
The little girl in front of me has changed into a dress that reaches her knees. It's light pink, revealing her straight calves. She has been well raised by the Cheng family. Her skin is fair and tender. It's obvious that she is an innocent girl. Her eyes are pure and clean, without any impurities.
He Chuan stared at her. Cheng Hui was being stared at and wanted to find something to block her. She felt that He Chuan's eyes at this moment were concealing desire.
That is the desire a man has when sizing up a woman.
She couldn't remember where she had seen it before, but always felt it looked familiar.
He Chuan came to his senses and tugged at the corner of his mouth, "What expression did you put on in the hospital just now? Show me?"
"No, you misunderstood."
"Cheng Hui." His tone slowed down and he called out to her, "Don't want to see me?"
The hug that night really scared her. Subconsciously, she blurted out, "There's something wrong with you. I'm a little scared."
Do you mean because I hugged you?
She jumped up and down in an instant: "Keep your voice down. It'll be over if people hear you."
He Chuan smiled and said, "Are you overthinking it? How could it be that you've developed aftereffects after being rejected?" Your mind is not clear?
"Are you scolding me again?" Cheng Hui is about to go berserked.
He Chuan stopped teasing her and said seriously, "You are Cheng Jiu's younger sister. No matter how insane I am, I won't lay a hand on you. I'm almost a year older than you, a little brat whose hair hasn't even grown fully."
Cheng Hui scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "Then you held me that night..."
You're drunk. I'm afraid you might fall. If you feel burdened, at worst, I won't help your brother take care of you anymore. Don't end up getting nothing and being treated like a beast by you.
Cheng Hui thought over what he had said and felt it was true. She had seen all the women He Chuan had talked about before, and each one was a mature woman. This one of hers was not to He Chuan's liking.
It was probably because she had overthought it. Thinking like this, she felt so ashamed that she wanted to hide in a crack in the ground and hurriedly apologized, "Brother He Chuan, I was wrong. I'm sorry to you. I was blind."
Kagawa refused to accept it and left coldly and ruthlessly.
Cheng Hui, whose mind was in a complete mess, ignored He Chuan's words that he had gained nothing.
...
Two more days passed, but there was still no reply from Cheng Jiu's side. Xin Gan felt a bit uneasy. She couldn't quite put her finger on it and even threw her bowl while eating. The reason was that she saw the news on the TV screen, which flashed by a scene of a certain small town on Beiyu Island.
She felt familiar and accidentally dropped the bowl.
"Auntie, bring the broom."
Mother Xin called her aunt to quickly clear away the broken glass. Xin Gan was a bit distracted and not in the right state of mind. Mother Xin asked her worriedly, "What's wrong?" Absent-minded?
Xin Gan shook his head. "It's okay. Maybe I didn't get enough sleep."
You've been working overtime quite frequently recently. Why are there so many things to do? Don't wear yourself out.
"Well, I'll pay attention."
After dinner, Xin Gan went to the kitchen to look for honey. She heard Xin's mother on the phone with Mrs. Cheng. She couldn't make out exactly what they were talking about. After pouring the honey water and walking out of the kitchen, Xin's mother looked at her and said, "Xin Xin, there's something you need to be mentally prepared for."
What's up?
"Cheng Jiu is missing."
Just now, Mrs. Cheng called and broke down in tears, saying that Cheng Jiu had an accident while on a mission and the entire vehicle fell off a cliff. It's been three days, but the search and rescue team still hasn't found anyone.
Xin Gan stood there, firmly grasping the water cup, and remained unresponsive for a long time.
Mother Xin hurriedly went over, gently hugged her and patted her on the shoulder, saying, "It's okay, it's okay. Don't scare yourself. Everything will be fine. Cheng Jiu is very lucky and has a great life."
Xin Gan's face turned pale and she looked very bewildered.
The Cheng family is already in chaos. Mrs. Cheng didn't want to tell us about this at first, fearing that you would be sad. But if she didn't, it would be unfair to you.
Xin Gan took a moment to calm down and gently pushed his mother away, saying, "I'm going out."
Where to?
"Go to the Cheng family's place and ask about the specific situation."
I'm not at ease with you going alone. Mom will go with you.
Xin Gan forced a smile, very forced, with no smile at all. "Don't worry. I can go by myself. May I ask what's going on, okay?"
Cheng Jiu had once said that if one day he really had an accident and died in the line of duty, he would casually ask her what to do.
She didn't say anything at that time. Now that she thinks about it, she feels that he was deliberately saying it to her. Otherwise, how could someone have cursed her?
She wouldn't let Mother Xin go to the Cheng family together. She was afraid that the news she got would be bad.
The situation of the Cheng family is not very good.
Mrs. Cheng had been crying all the time. When Mr. Cheng got the news, he rushed home that very night and made calls everywhere. His mobile phone was turned off, but then he switched to another one and kept making calls.
It's a bit bad.
When Xin Gan arrived at the Cheng family, it was supposed to be mealtime. The Cheng family's nanny had prepared a table full of dishes, but no one had an appetite to eat them.
Cheng Hui was crying in the room, out of breath. Hearing the sound of a car, she thought someone was coming and hurriedly went downstairs. At the entrance, she saw Xin Gan talking to the Cheng family's nanny. She immediately threw herself into her arms and hugged Xin Gan, crying.
Xin Gan was somewhat touched, but still managed to control her emotions. She patted her on the shoulder and said, "What's wrong? Are you crying like this?"
My elder brother has gone missing. News came from Beiyu that the situation is not good. My dad is calling the contact person to look for him, but there's no news yet. No wonder I can't get in touch with him.
Xin Gan gently comforted her, "Sometimes no news is good news. Don't worry. I want to ask how Uncle Cheng is doing."
Cheng Hui led the person into the living room. Mrs. Cheng, who had difficulty walking, was sitting in a wheelchair, while the nanny beside her was soothing her emotions.
After making a phone call and seeing Xin Gan arrive, Cheng's father remained relatively calm and said, "Cheng Jiu will be fine. Don't worry."
Xin Gan nodded and said, "Uncle Cheng, is there anything I can do to help?"
"It's okay. I'll handle it."
For a moment, no one dared to guarantee that Cheng Jiu would be safe and sound.
There was no accurate information from Beiyu Island. Cheng's father couldn't sit still any longer and directly booked a flight ticket for the next morning to go there in person.
Cheng Hui also wanted to go, but was stopped.
Mrs. Cheng has difficulty walking and can't go at all.
Xin Gan said at this moment, "Can I go together?"
Cheng's father said, "Don't go. Wait for my news." He was afraid that the outcome would be too much for Xin Gan to bear at that time.
Xin Gan said firmly, "I'm going. I'm going to look for him." Even if she initially wanted to break off the engagement with him and make it clear that she didn't like him, at this point his fate was uncertain. She couldn't do nothing. She couldn't just sit and wait for her fate.
Father Cheng: "No, Xin Gan. If anything happens to you if you go, I won't be able to explain it to your parents or your grandfather."
"I can guarantee that I won't do anything stupid or act rashly. Everything will be arranged by you, Uncle Cheng. If you don't take me there, I can also buy my own flight ticket and go by myself." "
In the end, Cheng's father had no choice but to agree.
Cheng Hui insisted on following as well, but was stopped by Lady Cheng. Lady Cheng told her not to cause trouble, as the house was already in a mess and she felt very uncomfortable. She was even locked in a room by Lady Cheng and not allowed to go out.
She had no choice. The only person she could think of was He Chuan.
...
He Chuan is now playing outside after receiving a call. He has a woman in his arms to take care of him. He is more sensible and well-behaved than Cheng Hui. He has a hot figure and can make him happy. He looks a little similar to Cheng Hui, but only a little similar.
The phone kept ringing, but he didn't answer it. He turned it off and threw it aside, hugging the woman in his arms and drinking.
He has high standards for women and seldom invites them out to play. The woman in his arms is Tang Huaihuai, the elder sister of the little boy that Cheng Hui likes, his own elder sister.
Kagawa was absent-mindedly drinking alcohol, exuding an air of estrangement and coldness all over. His face was extremely gloomy, and he seemed to be in a bad mood.
Tang Huaihuai leaned in his arms and said gently, "I heard that your little sister was rejected by my brother. She has been pestering him again and again. My brother went to see her on his birthday a while ago and asked him what he was going to do. At first, he didn't say anything, but when I found out, he confessed honestly that he was going to see your little sister."
He Chuan absent-mindedly expressed his gratitude.
"What's wrong? We haven't seen each other for a while. You don't seem to miss me much. You're a man who deceives and plays with women's feelings. It's a pity that I've been thinking of you all along." "
He Chuan patted her waist and said, "It's truly my honor to think of me."
"Lie! Your face is full of unhappiness. What did the little sister do to make you unhappy?"
In their circle, everyone knows that the little Jiao Hua of the Cheng family follows He Chuan around every day. Privately, she even once joked that He Chuan had a young wife. But jokes aside, none of them are true.
The phone rang again. He Chuan didn't answer Tang Huaihuai. He casually picked it up to take a look. Cheng Hui sent a text message saying, "Answer my call, He Chuan. Take it for a moment."
He Chuan curled his lips and sneered, then turned off his phone directly.
Seeing this, Tang Huaihuai said, "There's something going on. Little sister is looking for you?"
He Chuan completely lost interest: "Stop asking. Just keep playing. Put it to my account and leave now."
"Where to?"
"Go home."
Tang Huaihuai made a TSK sound and muttered something so dull.
...
Xin Gan got home and packed her luggage briefly. She also told her family about the situation and said to her mother, "Don't tell Grandpa for now. Wait for me to come back."
Are you really going? Mother Xin looked worried.
