At this moment, they both took off their masks, Sheng Yun put one hand in his pocket and looked at us arrogantly. His companion was somewhat familiar to me, but I could not remember where I had seen him before.
"I don't do it for money, I do it for a breath. People like Director Sheng, who never take offense, would never understand my feelings. " I smiled faintly and spoke calmly.
"Oh?" Sheng Yun walked over and approached me. He looked at my eyes under the mask with interest, then said with a smile, "Aren't you afraid that I'll tell Xu Tianyi all of this? If he knew that you were the mastermind, the plot would probably be even more exciting, right? "
"If Director Sheng really wanted to help Xu Tianyi, he wouldn't have just stood by and watched. Director Sheng, am I right? " I looked at Sheng Yun and said confidently.
"Women are too smart. Xu Shubei, you're actually not bad looking, especially your eyes are very beautiful … It was also very special. But the scheming on your body is really annoying! " Sheng Yun moved closer and closer, his lips almost touching mine. I subconsciously stepped back, but he forced me to the wall.
When I was out of options, he ripped open my mask and threw it away with ease. He glared at me with a face so bright and unrestrained that no one dared to look him in the eye.
"I never expected Director Sheng to like it, and I'm powerless to change his liking. I wonder what is Director Sheng's purpose for appearing here? " I asked, flustered by his stare.
He put his lips to my ear and whispered in a voice only I could hear, "I still have 95 usage rights. How can I waste them?"
My heart skipped a beat. I looked at Xia Yiwa and saw her looking at us. I whispered to Sheng Yun, "I don't want her to know about this. I hope Director Sheng won't say anything."
I signaled with my eyes that the person I was talking about was Xia Yiwa. Sheng Yun was surprised at first, but then he laughed contemptuously. Probably sensing my nervousness, not only did he refuse to cooperate, but he even deliberately wrapped his arm around my slender waist, and almost bit my ear as he said, "No! Unless... You give me a reason to convince me. "
"Is that reason enough for her to be the only person I care about in the world?" As I subconsciously got rid of Sheng Yun's embrace, I whispered to him.
Sheng Yun didn't have time to answer my question.
Because at this time, Xia Yiwa suddenly asked, "Your surname is Sheng, then your name is Sheng Yun? Did you live at your grandma's house on Nanshan Road when you were a child? "
At that moment, I felt Sheng Yun's body shudder. He quickly let go of me and immediately returned to his serious state.
I looked at Xia Yiwa again. Her eyes were dull as she stared straight at Sheng Yun. I couldn't see her expression under the mask, but I could feel her body slightly trembling.
"Yes. What, Miss Xia knows me? " Sheng Yun looked at Xia Yiwa suspiciously. Xia Yiwa's reaction was indeed a little too agitated. Even I didn't know what was wrong with her.
At this time, she suddenly choked and shouted, "Brother, I'm Yiwa! Don't you remember? "When we were kids, we were all in the courtyard on Nanshan Road. You were at your grandma's …"
Xia Yiwa stopped midsentence. She tore off her mask with all her might and looked at Sheng Yun with teary eyes. This sudden scene left me stunned as well.
"Yiwa?" Sheng Yun was puzzled at first, but then his thousand-year-old face loosened up a lot.
He looked at Xia Yiwa for a long time and asked with a look of disbelief, "You are Yiwa? "You are Shay?"
"Brother, it's me!" Xia Yiwa was so excited that she couldn't control herself. She threw herself into Sheng Yun's arms, "Brother, after so many years, I thought I would never see you again!"
I gaped at this scene. Sheng Yun's companion was just as shocked as I was. We looked at each other, unable to understand what was going on.
Xia Yiwa's original name was Xia Yi. When she came to the orphanage that year, the dean changed her name to Xia Yiwa because she had the same name as the dean of the orphanage.
Her name was a family name that matched her parents', and mine was a family name that matched my parents' as well, followed by the word "Bei," implying that I was a treasure shared by my parents. Just imagine how much my parents loved me.
After meeting her, Sheng Yun and Xia Yiwa started to chat animatedly. Through the details of their conversation, I vaguely remembered that Xia Yiwa mentioned to me that she had a childhood brother who was childhood friends with her. They grew up in the same yard, and he treated her very well, never allowing anyone to bully her … However, after the incident with Xia Yiwa's family, they also lost contact.
Xia Yiwa had always remembered the friendship she had when she was young. But because her family had fallen, and she had gone to the United States, she had not tried to find it. I never thought that the "brother" she spoke of was Sheng Yun.
