Zhan Lianshi and Hou Shuyu went to the study room upstairs, but Liu Yumin did not follow him.

Because when Zhan Lianshi said this, Liu Yumin was not in the living room.

She went out to answer the phone.

When Liu Yumin answered the phone and came back, there was no one in the living room.

She felt tight and looked up at the upstairs.

There was no one upstairs, but she guessed that the two went to the study.

My mother wants to know the news about the fourth brother, but Lian Shi will not be unable to see it.

Liu Yumin called the servant to come. After confirming that Zhan Lian and Hou Shude went upstairs and went to the study, she followed her upstairs.

However, Liu Yumin came outside the study and stopped.

She didn't go in, she was waiting outside.

Waiting uneasy and worried.

Nan Hong told her about the fourth brother, including Lin Lian, Lin Mingyue, and the Zhao family.

Many things are hard to imagine and dare not imagine, but that's the case.

She was very worried, worried about what would happen to her mother after she knew all the past and what she had now.

Will it bear it?

In the study, Zhan Lianshi and Hou Shude sat down on the sofa. Hou Shude didn't speak anymore and no longer smiled on his face.

Many of the previous words suddenly disappeared at this time.

It disappears on this antique, quaint bookshelves and desks.

When Hou Shude didn't look at Zhan Lian, her hand fell on the armrest and held it slightly.

She was thinking about something, but she seemed to think of nothing.

After waiting for the news for decades, I suddenly knew that at this moment, she was at a loss.

Zhan Lianshi looked at Hou Shude and all the expressions on the old lady's face. This usually majestic and loving old man has become a little panicked and timid now.

Because, she wanted to know the truth, but was afraid of the truth.

And the truth is always cruel.

Zhan Lianshi didn't say anything, he waited for Hou Shude to sort out his mood.

After a long time, Hou Shude's hand that fell on the armrest of the sofa was retracted. She looked up and looked at Zhan Lianshi, "Lianshi, tell me."

At this moment, Hou Shude's eyes were as firm as a mirror.

Zhan Lianshi looked at this firmness and opened his lips, "That year..."                                                                                                                      �

And the footsteps began to move from the year when Liu Yuwen disappeared, slowly, step by step, through the long year, and then through the unintentional decades, to the present.

Everything follows the earth-shaking present.

Hou Shude listened, and the expression in her eyes changed with Zhan Lianshi's words.

All her strength and emotions were revealed in Zhan Lianshi's low words, as if all the emotions accumulated over the past few decades erupted at such moments.

Finally, I had a reason to no longer bear it.

Hou Shude's hand was holding the handrail tightly at some point, and he didn't know how painful it was.

Zhan Lianshi kept looking at Hou Shude and said it slowly until he finished the last sentence.

He closed his lips thinly.

Everything is quiet.

Quiet and silent.

When the sunlight outside shines in, it is isolated from the outside. It is a space-time outside, and this is a space-time.

And this time and space stayed in the year when Liu Yuwen disappeared.

Hou Shude sat there, she was stiff, as if she had no soul, and only had an empty shell.

She didn't say a word, no pain, and she didn't seem to hear what Zhan Lian said for two hours.

Her memories, thoughts, and consciousness stopped at that year, and could not walk out of that year.

Zhan Lianshi turned his eyes and stopped looking at Hou Shude.

He looked at the sunshine outside, shining brightly on the earth, but it couldn't shine here.

Because, here is the abyss, here is the swamp, here is the ugliness of human nature, and the dark and dampness in the corner.

He closed his eyes.

Dong--!                                                                                                                             �

Her body trembled, and a lot of things suddenly surged out of the empty space in her eyes.

The breath in the study room finally changed.

Time here began to move around, and the sunlight outside shone in.

Even the wind blew through it.

The dark, damp, and ugly thing that was before seemed to have never appeared.

Hou Shude's eyes moved, and then he kept blinking several times, and the hand holding the armrest of the sofa was even tighter.

At this moment, her back, which had been straightening, finally couldn't help but bend.

She trembled, her whole body trembled uncontrollably. Tears in her eyes were rolling, but they were pressed by her and kept not exposed.

Zhan Lianshi's eyes opened.

The night inside was so quiet and terrifying.

He stood up, bowed to Hou Shude, and left.

Suddenly, Hou Shude called him, "Lian Shi..."                                                                                                                       �

Zhan Lian stopped.

His back was turned to Hou Shude and did not turn around.

But his fingertips trembled slightly.
