Chapter 68 The mysterious red rope bracelet

in the box.

The tea maker had already left.

There was only one person sitting behind the screen, with his long hair hanging casually, and his elegance made people dare not look directly at him.

"Boss, this is what the lady left behind."

The manager repeated exactly what Li Zhi said just now.

The red string bracelet was also taken over by the bodyguard.

The manager knew that this was the answer, so he turned around and left the box quickly without saying anything.

The man behind the screen glanced at the red string bracelet that the bodyguard took, and reached out to take it. The red string had indeed become quite worn over the years, but it was definitely not as "old" as Li Zhi said.

The man shook his head gently and sighed.

"I didn't tell the child that it was for safety, so how dare I take it off?"

He held the red rope tightly with his slender fingers, thinking of the little crybaby he saw silently crying in front of his mother's tombstone.

Just like her mother, no matter how wronged she is, she cries without a sound.

At that time, he was standing behind the scenes not far from the cemetery, watching the little girl kneeling in front of the tomb for a long time after everyone left.

And his biological father, after leaving the cemetery, hurried to the small home outside.

"Master, Miss Li's engagement gift has arrived."

The man put away the red string bracelet in his hand and slowly got up on the sofa. Soon someone came up and put a coat on him.

"Let's go." I always want to see the son of my old friend.

The man left the teahouse through a door outside. There was a car waiting there early.

He got into the car in the middle, and there were five or six cars escorting him before and after him, and he quickly disappeared into the night.

……

After being taken home by Tan Jiuzhou, Li Zhi told Tan Jiuzhou what he had experienced today.

Knowing that she had already guessed the identity of the "person who asked for tea", Tan Jiuzhou didn't say much.

Just promise that if she needs anything, just tell him.

"No hurry, we can always see you."

Anyway, the engagement party is tomorrow night, and she should be able to see this person tomorrow.

The ceremony and process of an engagement are no less than that of a marriage. They have to get up early tomorrow, so Li Zhi and Tan Jiuzhou go to bed early.

In the dream, Li Zhi seemed to see the mysterious person from his childhood again.

Although every time she went to pay homage to her mother, a bouquet of lilies of the valley would always arrive before her, but it was not that she had never seen the mysterious man before.

Several times, she saw a car coming out of the cemetery on her way there.

Although the car was different every time, Li Zhi always had a feeling that the person sitting in it was the mysterious person who gave her mother lilies of the valley and jewelry every year.

She didn't know if her grandfather knew about this.

Anyway, her scumbag father who was already in jail would never know.

Because except for the first few years, Han Zhengshu would still wait outside, waiting for Li Zhi to finish talking to his mother before leaving together.

Over the next ten years or so, after he and the Li family paid homage together, he hurriedly left because something happened in the company.

In her previous life, she was blind and couldn't see the true face of her scumbag father, but in this life, she has a clear mind and has people check where Han Zhengshu went after leaving the cemetery every year.

Sure enough, he went to the house outside.

Thinking of the past, Li Zhi felt a little bored. After waking up from his sleep, he no longer felt sleepy.

She knew how busy Tan Jiuzhou was these days, and couldn't bear to wake him up. Li Zhi lifted up the quilt, stood up, put on his coat and left the room.This room is on the top floor and overlooks the busiest night view of the entire port city.

The city that never sleeps is indeed the city that never sleeps.

Even if it is already late in the morning and late at night, the scenery outside the floor-to-ceiling windows is absolutely beautiful.

Li Zhi was sitting on the sofa on the balcony of the living room, covered with a thin blanket. There was heating in the room, so it wasn't cold at all.

Think of past events.

It's shameful to say that although she had memories when her mother left, she was still too young after all. Over the years, she almost forgot what her mother looked like.

"Mom...is that person the one you hide in your heart?"

While she couldn't sleep, there was also a man who couldn't sleep on the top of the mountain not far away.

Unlike Li Zhi, he has been unable to sleep for more than ten years.

He held a small photo in his hand, which looked like it had been torn from something, a small ID photo.

The girl wore a ponytail and looked at the camera with a bright smile.

Different from Li Zhiming's somewhat coquettish appearance, the girl in the photo has a scholarly temperament, crescent-like smiling eyes, and two small pear dimples, not to mention how pretty she is.

To this day, he can never forget the scene when he first met her.

"Li Wu...you are so cruel." The man murmured softly, and the finished bottle of wine was already on the table at his hand.

What was placed in the small corner on the other side happened to be Li Zhi's red rope bracelet.

……

Tan Jiuzhou habitually reached out to hug the people around him, but he felt something cold.

He got up and turned on the light. There was no one else in the room.

Finally, I found Li Zhi on the balcony of the living room.

Hearing the noise, Li Zhi turned around and looked at him, "Why are you awake?"

"I'm used to cuddling you to sleep, as long as I don't cuddle you enough."

"No seriousness."

Tan Jiuzhou was not afraid that she would laugh at him. He walked to sit next to her and hugged her tightly with a blanket, "Are you worried?"

Li Zhi didn't hide it from him: "I think of my mother."

He could understand how she felt at the moment. After all, other people's parents were engaged, her mother died young, and her scumbag father was such a virtuous person.

No matter how good her parents are to her in the future, they are not her biological parents after all. The feeling in her heart must be different.

Tan Jiuzhou could only try his best to be nicer to her. He didn't say any other words of comfort, and held her in his arms to watch the night scene outside.

Afraid that he would catch a cold, Li Zhi pulled out the blanket and wrapped him together. The corners of Tan Jiuzhou's mouth raised, and the hand holding her tightened.

The other hand gently patted her back and whispered, "I'll stay with you. If you feel sleepy, just sleep in my arms."

Maybe it was his familiar breath that made her feel at ease, and her originally upset mood began to calm down. Li Zhi leaned in his arms, listening to his steady heartbeat, and gradually became sleepy.

He was afraid that there was too much noise from behind and Li Zhi would be woken up again.

Tan Jiuzhou, so you hugged her and slept on the sofa. Fortunately, the viewing sofa on the balcony was big enough, and Li Zhi slept in his arms. To be honest, he was the only one occupying the space, so the space was quite generous.

The heating in the room was very strong, and the thin blanket on the sofa was still a little warm. The next day, Li Zhi woke up to the sunshine.

When he woke up, he found that he was still on the sofa, with Tan Jiuzhou in his arms and a blanket covering him. No wonder he got hotter as he slept.

As soon as she moved, Tan Jiuzhou woke up.

After checking the time in the room, he patted Li Zhi on the back and coaxed softly, "It's still early, you can sleep a little longer."
