A negotiation that should have been a sure win ended with her failing miserably, and he was as cunning as a fox, and didn’t give her any advantage. Except for a small swollen bag on his head, he still had her Kobo photo in his possession, and he had her firmly in his claws.

Silent Night was thrown out early the next morning when she woke up, with two big bags on her head, yelling and screaming and kicking and smashing at the door for half a day before she walked away resentfully, and before she left she threw down a very cheesy, “I’ll be back!” But he didn’t see her again for a long time afterward.

From then on he was much more relaxed with her, at least not as morbidly restricting her freedom as before. She could often go downstairs and string around, or sneak out for a stroll once in a while, as long as she was back by the time he set. Even to the point where he gave her back her cell phone, she was surprised at the time, was that a sign of goodwill that he was releasing? She thought it was okay to interpret it that way, but being open to it didn’t mean forgiveness, he was still a pervert in her mind.

On the day of the winter solstice, she got up early, and in a daze, with half-closed eyes, she pulled open the restroom door, not realizing that she would collide head-on with him. He had obviously just come back from running to take a shower, and at this time, his whole body was stripped down to only a pair of black sweat pants, and in his hand, he was still pinching a towel.

Her mouth was still half open and her eyes were wide. If she had reacted faster she would have thrown herself against the door panel on the spot, but the first time she woke up she was obviously half a beat slower in both brain reaction and nerve response, and instead of catching him frozen in his tracks as well and throwing herself against the door, she questioned him, “Why are you using my bathroom?”

After the last negotiation they slept separately, he slept in the master bedroom and she slept in the guest room. Both the master bedroom and the guest room had bathrooms, but while the master bedroom’s bathroom was separate, the guest bedroom’s was semi-open. The two people never use each one, well water does not offend the river water. Today he ran to her early in the morning half naked to grab the land, even the door is not locked, what does he want?

He seemed to be in a good mood, explaining, “That room doesn’t drain very well.”

“Then why don’t you use the common room?” She couldn’t believe that it didn’t drain well either.

“It’s too far away.” He flung the towel back and pocketed his hands in his pants pockets, “Besides, I should have the right to use whichever bathroom I want in my own home.”

She choked on his words, “I know, take your time washing then.” Turning around she was about to leave her hand but he dragged her from behind, she jumped up in surprise, what was he going to do? Is he going to drag her along with him to wash Aroma and work on her mouth?

“What are you nervous about?” He frowned slightly, “It’s not like I’m going to eat you.” After all this time of peace between the two she was still wary and hadn’t let her guard down in the slightest.

“Then what are you going to do?” Relieved, she wrenched her hand free from his and slowly twisted her wrist.

“Get me a bottle of body lotion, it’s in the cabinet.”

Calling on her again, did this man not feel comfortable without calling on her all day na. She angrily rummaged through the cupboard, but after half a day of rummaging, she couldn’t find the body wash he usually used, probably because he had run out. Without body wash, soap was fine, she pinched a bar and was about to take it in, but then an evil thought popped into her head.

She quickly ran back to her room, from the bottom of her duffel bag rummaged out a 500ML body wash, this is the beginning of the year in the supermarket to buy things with a free gift, after buying back has been thrown useless, so it is still brand new. She tore off the outer layer of packaging, carefully tore off a corner of the fruit logo representing the fragrance, she tore extremely artful, not to look carefully can not be seen, even if it can be seen, she can also be pushed to say that it is to buy back when it broke off.

Hmph, grapefruit mango flavor, hehehehehehehehehehehe ……

For a long time after that bottle of body wash was sent in she couldn’t settle down, all she could think about was the way Shan Yan Xiu’s face would blossom, she couldn’t help but laugh out loud just thinking about it. She was looking forward to it too much, expecting him to be embarrassed and make a fool of himself. But to her disappointment there was nothing unusual on his face when he came out, he didn’t even sneeze.

She was deeply disappointed, wasn’t there enough mango in the body wash and grapefruit took the cake? What a shame, a good opportunity wasted.

“Today is is the winter solstice, right?”

Banana Man still knew about the winter solstice? She skimmed him and nodded somewhat reluctantly. He was not impressed by her attitude, “Winter solstice is also a festival, is it like the Mid-Autumn Festival where you eat pomelo and fava beans or something?”

“No, if the winter solstice, the food is different everywhere, the south eats soup dumplings and sweet rice, the north eats dumplings and wontons and whatnot, as well as mutton and dog meat and so on.” She replied lazily, “Why do you ask, thinking about the winter solstice?”

“Yes.” He did confess, “It sounds quite interesting.”

Ya Xiao felt a bit strange about Shan Yan Xiu’s idea of wanting to celebrate a traditional festival, how can I put it, this man usually looks very cold and uncaring. He didn’t have any friends, and he had never heard of any relatives. Weekdays are also home to death, it seems to be the kind of people who do not love to get together more hate to follow the trend to catch up with the people, how such a person will be so enthusiastic about traditional festivals? Is it because of the banana people, because they have never been so they have to try one by one?

Based on his whim, she had to go out to purchase some food for the winter solstice. The fact that the demon had put out the word to try everything from the south and the north, coupled with the fact that there was already a shortage of a number of items in the house, necessitated upgrading the general purchase to a major one.

She habitually shrank her hands into the pockets of her down jacket and followed him into the elevator. She was a very afraid of the cold and wrapped herself up like a ball in winter. Then look at the man standing in front of her, such a cold day on a sweater and a lapel jacket is very casual and comfortable.

Tsk, to wind style do not want the temperature of God’s horse is the most obnoxious.

While she was silently slandering, the elevator door suddenly opened and Ji Feng and Jing Yan came in one after the other. Monsoon walked in front and was a bit shocked to see them in the elevator. But he quickly overcame it and casually asked them where they were going as he greeted them. Ya Xiao was just about to answer when the man beside her jumped ahead, “Winter solstice, going out to buy something for the holidays.” Without a trace, he dragged one of her hands out of his pocket and led it to his jacket pocket, interlocking his fingers.

Ya Xiao sweated, they do not look like they are going to buy things then it looks like they are going to do what? Also, what does that very good and harmonious mean?

Monsoon did not realize that her face had changed, and said, “On the winter solstice, I think eating soup dumplings is the most comfortable, especially the ones with black sesame filling, which are super fragrant. And there is also, this time of night you can stew some mutton soup to drink, add some wolfberry is really beautiful.”

“And lamb with goji berries, you beware of a nosebleed from a deficiency.” The well on the side spoke venomously, his gaze sweeping over the other two, his sarcasm full of meaning.

Ji Feng’s eyes glared, “None of your business, you freeloader shut up!”

The corners of Jing Yan’s eyes hung up and rolled out a huge blank stare.

Ya Xiao knew that this pair of half-siblings didn’t have a good relationship, Monsoon was bent on determining that Jing Yan was here to steal the family fortune, and Jing Yan was capricious and overbearing, the two of them had always had a frosty relationship. Usually they are each living their own life, how come they came out together today? Ya Xiao was thinking about this question but completely forgot that the situation where she and Shan Yan Xiu appeared together and went out together was also an abnormal situation in normal times.

Many years later, whenever she celebrated the winter solstice, she couldn’t help but think of that time. There are a lot of things that the heavens have already arranged, either throwing dollar bills for you to pick or digging a hole for you to jump into. Whether it’s good or bad is always something you can’t know until you’ve experienced it, but it’s like all things even if they’re predestined will have some vague omens.

Whether it is she and Shan Yanxiu or Ji Feng and Jing Yan, have had the experience of fighting with each other to the death. Originally, they should have been enemies, they should have been enemies who hate each other. But it is such a pair of four people, picked on the same day at the same time into the same elevator, which may be the heaven’s warning, the beginning of an anomaly.

They didn’t even go out of the underground garage that day.

The car just started to slide out of the parking space, from the oblique side of a black SUV suddenly rushed, the angle of the precise impact on the front of the sedan. The huge impact caused all the airbags to pop out of the car, spraying broken glass into the car. In a dizzying spin she let out a series of screams, feeling as if her entire body was going to be thrown out by the powerful centrifugal force. The tires scuffed the ground with an ear-splitting sound, and the sound of the violent crash and blaring horn siren was deafening.

In her panic she felt her body being held tightly, guarded circumspectly as if to be rubbed into it. That was what kept her from passing out from the violent impact.

When she opened her eyes she was stunned by the scene in front of her – the front windshield of the sedan was completely shattered, the front end of the car was already in a terrible state, and the air was filled with the smell of gasoline and the stench of rubber rubbing against rubber as if it might explode in the next second. She groaned and tried to climb out of the car, but found her body held firmly in place. Just as she had felt at the moment of the crash, he protected her at the first sign of danger, without hesitation or hesitation, reacting one step ahead of the airbag.

She froze for just a moment before putting her mixed feelings behind her and using all her strength to break free from the seat, she proceeded to yank on Shan Yanxiu, who had passed out. The fact that she called his name and he didn’t respond in any way made her vaguely feel bad in her heart. She couldn’t help but suck in a cold breath when she completely yanked him out of the car, her shock and anger curdling into tears that couldn’t stop sliding down her face.

There was a sharp piece of glass sticking out of the left side of his abdomen, in an inverted triangle from the shape of the exposed wound. She didn’t know how deep the wound it had made was, all she could see was that the dark blue sweater around the wound had been soaked with blood, a deep black color.

In her desperation she slapped his face in a panic. Trying to get some response from him, but he was motionless. With shivering hands, she pulled her cell phone out of her pocket and tried to call for help, but the number had only just been pulled out when her eyes were stung raw by the sudden light of a car not far away. To her horror, she realized that the black SUV was slowly backing up, like a panther poised to spot a second round of deadly attacks.

Dream on, this had to be a dream.

Obviously they were just going out to procure something, how did it turn out like this? It was like going from a family ethical drama to a hot action movie all of a sudden.

How she wished she was really dreaming, but she couldn’t experience such reality in her dreams. Gradually cold cheeks, warm blood, torn wounds and step by step murderous intent.

The black SUV had already retreated to dozens of meters away, the lights suddenly flashed, and the sound of the engine’s powerful roar could be heard, like the growl of a wild animal. The tires skidded across the ground with a sharp, ear-piercing sound that shook even the bones and blood.

She shielded the unconscious Shan Yanxiu while dragging him with all her strength towards the back of the column, already knowing that the attack was aimed at him. For her, this was an accident that had nothing to do with her. But after he had acted like that, there was absolutely no way she could leave him and run for her life.

Her strength is limited, coupled with the shock of the whole body are a little soft, desperate but also did not drag him out of a few meters, and the car has been driving closer and closer, from that speed to see the impact is non-trivial. She gritted her teeth half lying on top of him, tightly protected.

Seeing the car getting closer and closer, she was so nervous that she couldn’t even breathe. But did not expect is that a raging car rushed to the distance from them but a few meters when the sudden emergency brakes, huge body issued a low growl of unwillingness after stopping in the distance from them but half a meter place.

The car door slammed and then closed heavily.

A short while later, a pair of black sneakers entered her sight.

Her back was already then soaked, but she still didn’t forget to look up, and with just a glance, her mouth opened wide in shock, “You …… are you?”
