Chapter 19: A Woman Is a Book ()

A secret base in Manhattan, an old-fashioned building full of ivy.

"Hehe, General."

Odom laughed and fell down the chess piece in his hand: "How is it? Yan, you should be proud! Because your chess skills are only a little worse than mine, hahaha." Odom smiled so hard that he leaned back and forth. Since Avril returned safely, he was always in a very cheerful mood.

Zhao Yan shook his head helplessly, and a bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Brother, eat oranges."

Xiao Bu laughed and handed a piece of fresh and juicy orange. Zhao Yan held it in one mouthful, and suddenly felt salivation and sweetness in his mouth. He swallowed it in one mouthful, refreshing and enjoying it.

"Brother, I'll tell you a secret..."

Xiao Bu suddenly leaned closer to her face and muttered mysteriously, "Sister once said that the greatest happiness in her life is to prepare a sumptuous meal for the men in her family..." Xiao Bu gestured awkwardly and grinned at Zhao Yan, "When she said this before, there were only two men in the family, but now there are three men!"

Looking at Zhao Yan's shocked look, Xiao Bu couldn't help but smiled evilly.

"Uh... you are such a big guy." Zhao Yan shook his head helplessly.

Turning slightly, Zhao Yan looked to the kitchen. In the bright kitchen, Avril was wearing a floral apron, with naked lotus-white arms, and was scrubbing the tableware in a hurry. The white foam slowly floated up and stuck to her slightly red cheeks. The curly hair and the blinking eyelashes like a small fan were a little wet and itchy, but she had no time to wipe it. She just buzzed her head and washed the plate. Her slender waist shook and shook it. Her pretty and lazy look was a little different from the cool and handsome posture she usually held when holding a knife and holding a gun. Zhao Yan, who was peeking at not far away, could hardly move her eyes away.

Zhao Yan suddenly remembered a famous saying, saying: A real woman is like a book, each page contains a different charm, and too many men, because of their anxiety, just flipped a page quickly, then put it down in disappointment, and then picked up a white paper with a more exquisite cover, but empty words.

At that time, Zhao Yan thought that Avril was just a book, not only a book, but also very thick. If she could take her down in one fell swoop, she must change into a super cute nurse's uniform, love teacher's uniform, and mature flight attendant's uniform... In short, three meals a day, three sets of charming personality outfits every day, you must read the book thoroughly before you get old and don't fall, and swallow it in the last bite.

"Do you need help?"

Zhao Yan's clear voice suddenly rang behind Avril.

Avril, who was busy, turned his head quickly and was hitting Zhao Yan, who was leaning against the door frame. Perhaps it was the woman's sixth sense that Zhao Yan's eyes were mixed with an indescribable ambiguous factor, which made her dare not look directly at her.

"Oh, why are you here in the kitchen?" Avril lowered his head and waved his hands repeatedly, "You go out and rest quickly. I'll make tea for you now, and it'll be fine in a while."

"Haha, I'll do it. You need more rest than me."

Zhao Yan snatched the plate from Avril's hand without saying a word and began to wash it quickly. Avril snatched it several times, but he pushed it away a little domineeringly.

"Yan, how can men wash dishes?"

Avril looked at Zhao Yan's generous back and quipped with some amusement: "Where are girls washing dishes? Do you want to become girls?"

"Of course I don't want to."

Zhao Yan stopped his work, turned around and stared at Avril, and suddenly asked with a wicked smile: "But some girls don't wash dishes all day long, but they punish evil like men. Why is that?"

"Uh...this, this..."

Avril did not expect him to ask this question. He was speechless for a moment, and his hands were panicked and tearing the corners of his clothes, blushing his face, and hesitating and hesitating.

"Actually, the food you cook is really delicious, why don't you choose to keep cooking?"

Looking at Avril's pretty face full of shyness, Zhao Yan couldn't help but feel excited. He didn't know where the courage came from. He slowly raised a index finger and gently wiped off the foam stuck to Avril's lips, his eyes were gentle, and his movements were intimate.

"actually……"

Perhaps this intimate action touched a memory of Avril's childhood. She took a deep breath, then bravely stared at Zhao Yan's eyes, and said stutteringly: "Actually, I am not a strong girl. When I was a child, I would hide in my parents' bed and bury my head in my mother's arms. If I get an injection when I get sick, I will cry all day long. Actually, I know it's useless to cry. I still have to get an injection if I cry, but I'm just afraid. When I think about it, I'll be afraid, and then I cry so dark... Because of this reason, until I was ten years old, the adults called me a slug... Haha, am I very embarrassed?"

Avril laughed, and his eyes became more and more blurred when he recalled the past.

Zhao Yan shook his head gently.

"But later, on my tenth birthday, my grandfather bought me a cheese cake from the pastry shop, which was my favorite strawberry flavor! I remember that the weather was so sunny that day, I stood across the street, waving to my grandfather happily..."

Avril choked and his eyelashes were slightly wet: "But, an Audi A8 knocked down Grandpa, all the cakes were spilled, and the white butter was spilled on Grandpa's blood, and it was red and red. My heart was about to break at that time! I cried and called Grandpa, but he didn't agree... I suddenly became so scared that I felt empty, and then I cried and cried loudly..."

Avril sobbed uncontrollably, and Zhao Yan hurriedly reached out to pat his back to comfort him: "Grandpa's legs were tied into flesh paste. Mom covered my eyes. I couldn't see it, but I could feel it. I also heard my mother's heartbreak. With a bang, she almost collapsed. Fortunately, my father reached out to support her..."

"My parents stopped the car and argued with them. Unexpectedly, two people came out of the car, wearing clothes full of holes. They were so fierce. They scolded grandpa for dirtying his car... Dad was angry and rushed up to beat him. The other man shot his father to death, and then... and then he killed his mother..."

Speaking of this, Avril was already crying and his whole body trembled violently.

Zhao Yan didn't say anything, just shook his head slightly, and then hesitated no more. He hugged her in his arms, gently comforted her trembling body, and couldn't help but feel full of care.

"My parents left, and they didn't even have time to say hello, leaving me who was ignorant and my one-year-old brother... I was so scared at that time, what should I do? Fortunately, a month later, my grandfather woke up and he said to me: Girl, my parents are gone, you still have a younger brother, he is only one year old, and you have just learned to speak, you should be his parents in the future... Don't let him suffer a little grievance..."

"I was so brave at that time. I said, grandpa, don't worry, I'm already ten years old, I'm an adult, I will take good care of you and your brother... I can't be weak, I must never..."

Avril shook her head lightly, her emotions stabilized. She looked at Zhao Yan with red eyes and suddenly grinned, "Do you know? Since then, every time it rains, I lifted the quilt and let my brother get in. I told him the hero story until he fell asleep... He has never been afraid..."

Zhao Yan tightened his arms slightly and put his stubborn body tightly close to his chest.

“Geehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

The quirky Xiao Bu slipped into the kitchen at some point, looking at the two people hugging each other through the crack of the door, giggling happily, revealing the two missing front teeth.

Xiao Bu is eleven years old this year. For him, isn’t Avril the entire support of life?

What should he do if this sky collapses?

Is it like Avril ten years ago?

"Sister, you finally laughed..."

Xiao Bu raised his head slightly and saw Brother Yan whispering in his sister's ear, so his sister suddenly burst into tears and smiled. He was happy from the bottom of his heart. He was a smart child. Every time he was sad, his sister would hug him and comfort him, and he kept it in his heart. But several times, he found that his sister was crying, hiding alone in the quilt and sobbing quietly. However, no one could comfort her, and no one could give her a warm embrace.

"Brother Yan, thank you!"

Xiao Bu muttered softly, then shrank his neck and gently helped the two "couples" to bring the kitchen door.

Avril's family lives in a secret base and there is no need to worry about blood bats coming to seek revenge, so the stone hanging in Zhao Yan's heart finally fell to the ground.

Two days later, Zhao Yan said goodbye to Avril and secretly left the military base.

In the eastern suburbs in the afternoon, there was a little drizzle in the sky, the air was fresh and the flowers and plants were fragrant, making Zhao Yan, who was driving all the way, feel refreshed.

The BMW z8 was parked in Baozhitang's garage, and Zhao Yan trotted upstairs.

He came to Angela's ward with a familiarity. Zhao Yan looked in through the window of the ward... After dozens of days of treatment, Angela's mood had stabilized, and with the careful care of the exclusive nurse, her complexion was much rosy than before. At this time, Angela was wearing a white shirt with a smile on her face, and was actively cooperating with the doctor for systematic training on drug resistance.

Zhao Yan didn't dare to enter the door, so he stood outside the window and looked at it for a while. Then he pulled over the second tube and asked about Angela's recent situation.

"Ertong, how is she recovering?" Zhao Yan handed a cigarette and lit another one for himself.

"Hehe, I always smoke the boss's cigarettes, but when I look back, I can't get used to those unlucky cigarettes..."

Ertong smiled and joked, closed her eyes intoxicatedly, sucked a few puffs of cigarettes, and then slowly sprayed out a few smoke rings: "Hehe, I won't hide it from your boss. In the first few days, she was very depressed, always sitting alone in a daze, or staring at a yellowed photo... I don't eat much or drink much, and I can't be energetic about anything... But later she made a video call, it seemed that it was an international long distance, and then she got everything... "

Ertong smacked her lips and looked at Zhao Yan in confusion.

"Haha, it's her daughter who is talking to her."

Zhao Yan shrugged, his lips slightly raised: "A fifteen-year-old girl looks like her mother, a mixed race between white and yellow people, looks sophisticated and cute... Seven years ago, she was taken to China by Uncle Lan, and adopted by her innocent and stable family..."

"Fifteen years old?"

When Ertong heard that Angela's daughter was fifteen years old, she suddenly widened her pupils incredibly.

"When Li got her belly bigger, she was just fifteen years old."

Zhao Yan shrugged and smiled softly.

"Boss, I don't know whether I should say it or not."

Ertong smashed her mouth, and after hearing Zhao Yan say "talk", he smiled obscenely: "Although Angela looks so utterly, I can see that you don't mean to her, boss." Ertong changed the conversation and said, "So I wondered why you didn't care about her, why did you help her so hard? Hehe now I understand, you are the daughter who looks like a flower for her!"

"roll!"

Zhao Yan raised his eyebrows and kicked Ertong directly on the butt: "You kid's conscience is called to eat by dogs, and your mind is full of shit!" He scolded him, and Zhao Yan was both angry and funny. Ertong was kicked by him and fled to the side, grinning, and laughing.

"Li saved my life in prison!"

The two of them were silent for a while, until the third cigarette was finished, Zhao Yan finally said softly: "You know, in the prison with high walls, no one cares about your life or death. I got sick and almost died. If Li Yishi and pee had not taken care of me for three months, I might have rotted in the cessation pit!"

"So, on the day I recovered, I broke an African guy's teeth with my fist..." Zhao Yan's mouth curled up slightly: "Because before that, he had been occupying Li's lunch!"

"Oh, then he deserves to die!"

Ertong shrugged and spit out a smoke ring: "Who didn't know that our Chinese men would rush to the brothers and go through fire and water!"

New York, Bloodbat Headquarters.

"Bang!"

A sudden sound broke out, and a good purple snuff bottle burst out. Henry shivered with a big belly and panted heavily, obviously furious! At his hand, everything he could smashed had been smashed!

"Waste! Waste! All waste..."

A few days passed quietly, but the murderer who killed Gray still could not be found. This made Henry, who had always been calm, qi and blood surge for a moment, almost crazy!

Standing in front of Henry were three burly men, all of whom were straight black suits. When Henry was furious, he was all trembling and lowered his head and said nothing.

"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"

Suddenly, with a few dull gunshots, the top leaders of the three blood bats were shot and fell head-on in the pool of red blood.

"Bang!" "Bang!"

"No matter who it is! No matter what method is used! Find this damn bastard for me..."

A series of gunfires were violent and rapid, trembling inside. Henry held the gun in his hand and punched a photo in his hand with holes - and the owner of this photo was none other than Zhao Yan! However, Zhao Yan in the photo was covered with his face and a low-brim hat, and he could not tell the true face at all.
