Following Crime (NSITNL Volume 2) ✔️

Chapter 18 Vol. 2

    Zhou Shuo stood under the banyan tree until four o'clock in the morning when he saw the gate of the house slowly opened. Xia Liang stood behind the door and looked at him silently for a moment, and said lightly: "Come in."

    Zhou Shuo's tight heartstrings suddenly loosened. , His eyes gradually heated up, and all kinds of feelings rushed to my heart for a while, some happy and some aggrieved shouts: "Brother Liang..."

    Xia Liang was no longer able to face him openly like before, and she evaded unnaturally. He opened his eyes and said, "You swayed outside most of the night, go back and rest first."

    Zhou Shuo knew that Xia Liang still cared about him, restrained himself from expressing his excitement too much, and responded in a low voice. Then he went back into the villa one step at a time.

    "My task is completed, it's almost time to leave." Du Lanze handed Xia Liang a business card, "Here is my contact number. If you need help, you can call me."

    Xia Liang looked at it. Looked at the words on the business card: "Midnight Flying Bar? Bartender?"

    Du Lanze touched his nose and coughed unnaturally, "It's a name, it's a name."

    He paused, and added: "If no one answers the phone, it may be that I went back to my hometown. You can go to this bar and find a waiter to leave me a message. I will contact you soon after I get back."

    Xia Liang didn't tell Du until now . Lan Ze’s "alien" identity has a real sense, and he asks: "Do you often travel between the two planes?"

    "Not too often," Du Lanze said, "I was sent here to stay permanently. It’s in Zero Realm, but if there is a call from my hometown, I’ll go back immediately.”

    Xia Liang thought for a while, and said, “I have another question.” “Please tell me.”

    “Xiao Lin, I mean me. Brother, how did he get to know you? Why does he seem to have known these things a long time ago? Are there other things you are hiding from me?"

    "Well..." Du Lanze scratched the back of his head, thinking that Xia Liang must still not know that his brother was reborn, so he shied away, "This involves some of your brother's personal privacy. It is for me as an outsider. , I’m afraid it’s not very convenient.”

    Xia Liang nodded: “Okay, I understand. In short, thank you very much this time.” After

    sending Du Lanze away, Xia Liang returned to the house and saw Zhou Shuo standing in his bedroom. At the door, waiting for

    him eagerly .

    Xia Liang frowned: "Why don't you go in and rest?"

    "Brother Liang," Zhou Shuo hesitated and asked courageously, "Can I still be by your side in the future?"

    Xia Liang sighed softly. Tone.

    This incident happened too suddenly. Although he let Zhou Shuo into the house with relief, in fact, he did not think of a proper solution.

    According to Du Lanze, the two people after the depth mark will be involuntarily tired of being together, just like those newly married partners.

    But in Xia Liang's view, this kind of lifelong partnership that relies on forced estrus binding is a very unfortunate thing for Omega.

    On the one hand, there may not be true love between AOs; on the other hand, Omega has no choice of dependence and loyalty to the Alpha that marks itself, resulting in extreme inequality in the social status of both parties.

    Although Du Lanze did not reveal too much about the social relations in their world, Xia Liang can roughly imagine that due to the lack of a stable balance between the three types of ABOs, this imbalance will sooner or later trigger social riots.

    "About this matter," Xia Liang brought his thoughts back to the topic before him, rubbed his eyebrows, avoiding Zhou Shuo's scorching eyes, "I may have blamed you before, and I myself have a great responsibility for this matter. If you are willing, I will find an opportunity to send you to the branch office to practice, which is also very helpful for your growth..."

    Before Xia Liang had finished speaking, Zhou Shuo eagerly interrupted: "No, Brother Liang, I will not leave you. Have you forgotten what Du Lanze said?!"

    "I haven't forgotten, but I feel that insecurity or something is just an excuse for a coward with weak willpower. No matter, I believe I can overcome such a psychological barrier."

    "No!" Zhou Shuo raised his voice a little excitedly, "Anyway, I won't agree!"

    "Well," Xia Liang said in a childlike tone, "You I don’t want to go, and I don’t force you. But Dad and grandma will be back in a few days. You...better control yourself and don’t let them see the clues.”

    Zhou Shuo realized that these days The world-like life of the two is about to be broken. He was silent for a moment, then nodded: "I understand, Brother Liang."

    Just as Zhou Shuo was about to turn back to the room, Xia Liang stopped him suddenly and asked uncertainly: "Zhou Shuo, are you treating a man..." Halfway through, he felt that his guess was too absurd, so he waved his hand. Said, "It's okay, go to bed."

    After saying that, he took the lead in returning to his room and closing the door.

    How could Zhou Shuo fail to hear the meaning of Xia Liang’s second half of the sentence. He watched Xia Liang’s door in silence for a long while, before muttering to himself in a low, inaudible voice: "I don’t have anything to do with all men. It feels like, Brother Liang, since I was little, I have only been to you..."

    He didn't continue, but sighed quietly.

    This morning, Li Mo prepared breakfast in the kitchen as usual. After morning class, Ji Qin lay on the sofa outside the restaurant, waiting to eat, while holding his mobile phone on Baidu.

    After the brief meeting between Li Mo and Gu Lixuan yesterday, Ji Qin was polite and did not ask Li Mo about the grievances between him and Gu Lixuan, but in private, he couldn’t help being curious. After rubbing the Internet to check the relevant information of Li Mo and Gu Lixuan, they found that there is no overlap between the two on the bright side.

    Gu Lixuan became famous relatively early and has accumulated a lot of works. In recent years, he has won numerous awards and has been on the list of first-line artists. The salary of any drama starts at millions, and the small-cost crews simply can’t ask for it. His great god.

    Li Mo’s profile information is pitiful. Although his debut time is about the same as Gu Lixuan’s time, there are very few works in which he participated. Most of them are dispensable supporting roles. In the best-paid idol drama There was only a male second in the show, but the show was well filmed. At the time, it seemed to arouse some splashes and was sought after by some fans. The reason why Ji Qin felt that Li Mo was a bit familiar when he first met was because he had once met. I glanced at that drama for a few moments.

    But what is puzzling is that since then, Li Mo has disappeared silently.

    Later, a few pieces of entertainment news broke the termination lawsuit between Li Mo and the brokerage company. As for how the lawsuit was finally settled, no media continued to report, nor did the masses get to the bottom of it. Those news just fell into the sea. That's it.

    Ji Qin felt that this incident was a bit weird, as if there was a black hand behind the scenes, deliberately expelling Li Mo from the circle, letting him disappear from the public's field of vision.
