Chapter 182: On the Eve of the Storm

Soho stands on the roof of the building, overlooking the surrounding scenery.

In front of her was a building more than ten meters high, without any guardrails.

Looking at the green in the distance, behind that green, you can vaguely see several small low-rise buildings.

It was a building from the last century, and I don't know if anyone still lived there, and I don't know why, but it has been preserved to this day.

It turns out that such a prosperous city as Nancheng still has such ancient buildings.

If it weren't for the fact that she felt bored today and suddenly wanted to come up and take a look, I'm afraid she wouldn't have seen such a scenery.

A cool breeze blew and the scent of grass made Soho feel refreshed, and he couldn't help but spread his arms and feel the breath of nature to the fullest.

"Little lotus!"

A sudden and eager man's voice sounded behind her, startling her, and she almost fell down without standing firmly.

"What are you doing? Dangerous! Hurry down! ”

Hearing the voice, Soho knew who it was.

She turned her head away, with a helpless expression, "I think you are the most dangerous, I was fine, I was almost scared to death by you." ”

With that, she came down the stairs anyway.

"What are you doing standing on there? I thought ......"

"Why? Think I can't open it and want to jump? Su He looked at Gu Zichen's anxious face and chuckled, "Thinking too much, I'm a person who regrets my life." ”

"And you just now?" Gu Zichen was relieved to see that everything was normal with her, and asked suspiciously.

As soon as I came up just now, I saw her open arms, looking like she was about to jump, and I was so frightened that my heart almost jumped out.

"Looking at the weather, it looks like it's going to rain." Soho didn't answer him, but looked up at the sky.

Gu Zichen followed her gaze, and sure enough, a large black and oppressive dark cloud was pressing towards this side from the direction of the center of Nancheng, and after seeing it for a long time, it made people feel a sense of suffocation, and he quickly looked away.

Su Ho kept staring at the dark clouds that pressed over, and asked pointedly: "There will be a storm in Nancheng soon, you say, will we be calm here?" ”

"Little lotus......" Gu Zichen didn't know what to say.

He knew what Soho meant, and she wasn't just talking about the weather, but the situation in the southern city.

But if the southern city is in chaos, she will also be in danger.

"Didn't you just ask me why I came up?" Su Ho retracted his gaze, looked at Gu Zichen, and said with a smile: "The weather is so stuffy, it's a lot cooler up there, don't you think?" ”

She knew that Gu Zichen didn't want her to take such a big risk to disturb Nancheng, and she wanted to persuade herself but was worried that she would be unhappy, so she changed the topic.

Originally, this matter was her hatred, and it had nothing to do with Zichen, but she accidentally involved him, and now it is impossible to keep him out of the matter.

Even if she had a way, Zichen wouldn't be willing.

But she will do her best to protect him, and she will not let him and the Gu family be affected in any way because of the matter in Nancheng.

"Seems like so." Gu Zichen listened to what she said, and carefully felt the surrounding airflow, which was indeed not as depressing as downstairs.

"Do you know why the roofs of the buildings here are not even equipped with guardrails?" She asked Gu Zichen.

Gu Zichen shook his head, thinking about the scene he saw just now, he couldn't help but feel afraid for a while.

If the roof of a normal person's villa is made into this kind of rooftop that can be freely climbed, for the sake of safety, an iron guardrail at least half a person high must be made.

There's something strange here.

However, seeing Soho's appearance, he knew that there must be some story in it, so he didn't rush to ask.

"When I was younger, I never came up here." Soho looked into the distance and spoke slowly.

"Because the door to the rooftop is always locked, my mother always warned me that the rooftop was dangerous and I was not allowed to go up."

"I was very obedient and didn't have much curiosity. I didn't get up here for years when the adults said they weren't allowed to come up, and I didn't even ask why. ”

"I later learned that not long after I was born, my mother carried me on the roof once. Originally, she was going to take me with her and jump off here. But I don't know why, she finally dismissed the year, carried me back to that disgusting home, and locked it here. ”

"To this day, I still can't figure out what it was that made her suddenly dismiss the years. You say, if she had jumped off with me in her arms, wouldn't we have suffered so much later? ”

Soho turned his head sideways, with tears in his eyes, but the corners of his mouth stubbornly pulled a smile, which made people feel extremely sad.

"Xiaohe, don't think so." Gu Zichen felt pain in his heart when he saw her like this, "Although I don't know why your mother suddenly changed her mind of suicide when she was so desperate. But I think it must be because she saw you, and it was you who gave her hope to live. ”

"In any case, she definitely hopes that you can live as strong as she does, and live a more wonderful life than anyone else."

"Of course, I will definitely live well, happier than everyone else." Soho looked into the distance and shouted loudly.

She never had the opportunity in her life to know how her mother walked to the roof step by step when she was holding her swaddling clothes, and why she retreated.

Maybe it's like Gu Zichen said, my mother can't bear to be born with her newly-born self, and she is about to leave the world before she has seen it twice.

Since God confiscated her once or twice, her life must naturally be cherished.

She still has a lot of things to do, and a lot of important people to guard and accompany.

Gu Zichen looked at her who had suffered a lot, but she was still strong, and his heart was touched. Soho's mother's affairs, he only knew a little bit before.

Her mother, Lin Jingran, died of illness ten years ago. In less than three months, her father, that is, Su Ziyu, married Zhang Zinan.

Later, she learned that Su Ziyu married her mother just to defraud the Su family of a huge amount of dowry, and the marriage between them was simply a scam designed by Su Ziyu.

The reason why Lin Ran died of a serious illness so early was because of her hard work for Sujia Company, and on the other hand, because of her unhappy marriage, which caused her to be depressed all the year round, and her body was getting weaker and weaker.

Although he felt sorry for her, he knew that Soho didn't need comfort or sympathy.

He didn't say anything more, just silently stayed by her side, looking at the scenery in the distance with her, feeling the breeze in the setting sun.

Although both men knew that such a calm would not last long, neither of them broke it.
