Ye Xing didn't speak, he just stood there silently, staring blankly ahead.
Seeing that he didn't respond for a long time, Yang Kexin timidly called Ye Xing: "Xing, why don't you speak?"
Ye Xing turned his gaze over and stared at Yang Kexin's beautiful face. For a long time, he helplessly asked Yang Kexin softly: "What do you want me to say?"
At this time, there was a kind of indifference in Ye Xing's expression. This feeling made Yang Kexin feel frightened to the core. She took Ye Xing's hand, sobbed and said to him: "Xing, I know I should...
I should have listened to you earlier, but I did all this so that we would not have any worries and could live...better..."
"Xing, I know I was wrong. I will listen to you in everything from now on. I just ask you not to abandon me. Without you, I can't live at all, whether it's the days in the Yang family or the days with Deng Wenliang.
, the spiritual pillar that supported me through gritted teeth, is all you, Xing, I beg you, don’t leave me, I beg you..."
At this point, Yang Kexin was already crying, and she slowly knelt down to Ye Xing.
Seeing this scene, Ye Xing sighed helplessly. He took Yang Kexin's hands and whispered to her: "Kexin, you get up first..."
"If you don't promise me, I won't get up. Without you, what's the use of my money? What's the point of my living?" Yang Kexin choked and said slowly to Ye Xing.
Ye Xing sighed again. He was speechless for a long time. Then he took Yang Kexin's hand and said softly to her: "Kexin, you get up first, I promise you."
Hearing this, Yang Kexin was overjoyed. She stood up slowly, held Ye Xing's hand tightly, stared at his young and handsome face, and asked him in disbelief: "Xing, are you telling the truth?
Did you really promise to be with me again? Did you really promise to leave with me?"
Ye Xing nodded affirmatively at her, and Yang Kexin threw herself into Ye Xing's arms with joy, jumping up and down while holding him, and kept saying: "I knew you still loved me, I knew it
You won't leave me alone..."
Looking at her child-like innocent face, Ye Xing smiled helplessly. He gently stroked Yang Kexin's slightly messy black hair and said softly to her: "But before we leave, I have something to say to Su Man.
It’s clear, after all, she knows too many things between us, if we don’t... stabilize her, we can’t go anywhere.”
Looking at Ye Xing's sincere expression, Yang Kexin nodded gently to him. At this moment, Yang Kexin was as obedient as a kitten. She murmured to Ye Xing: "As long as you are willing to be with me again, in the future,
I will listen to you about everything, and I will do whatever you say."
Ye Xing smiled helplessly again, raised his hand and gently touched Yang Kexin's beautiful face, nodded slightly to her, and comforted her: "Then you go back now, okay? Wait for my news, I have finished talking to Su Man.
, I’ll go find you over there.”
Yang Kexin nodded obediently and responded: "Okay, then I will wait for you in that small hotel. We will see you there or not."
"See you soon." Ye Xing gently kissed Yang Kexin on her forehead and whispered back to her.
Just like that, Yang Kexin left my house. After she left, Ye Xing slowly walked to the sofa where I was lying, lowered his head and stared at me silently. After a long time, he straightened up and walked slowly to the window of the living room.
He took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took one out, lit it, and started smoking slowly.
The choking smoke slowly spread in front of me from the window. I couldn't help but frown, then raised my head and coughed lightly.
Seeing that I woke up, Ye Xing smiled secretly. He put out the cigarette butt, then slowly walked to me and asked me softly: "Actually, you have woken up a long time ago, right? What did you say to Kexin and I?"
Did you hear that?”
I slowly sat up on the sofa with support, silently staring at Ye Xing standing in front of me, and didn't speak for a long time.
Ye Xing just looked at me with a normal expression. His eyes were very magnanimous, so magnanimous that it made me think that none of the thrilling things happened in this room just now, and he and Yang Kexin did not say those earth-shattering things at all.
Discourse.
"Don't you have anything to ask me?" After a long time, Ye Xing asked me calmly.
I grinned, looked at Ye Xing, and said to him, "Weren't you always refusing to tell me?"
Ye Xing smiled helplessly, looked at me and murmured: "But you already know about it."
I looked at him deeply, raised my eyebrows, and said to him lightly: "That's far from enough. What I know is just the details. I want to know a true version from your mouth, a true story about you and Yang Kexin."
of the past.”
Looking at my persistent look, Ye Xing smiled helplessly. He nodded slightly at me and asked, "Okay, where do you want to start?"
I thought about it and then said to Ye Xing: "Let's start from when you and Yang Kexin started to know each other."
Ye Xing sighed. He sat down on the sofa diagonally across from me, crossed his hands and pondered for a while, and then slowly said to me: "When Yang Kexin and I met, we were only three or four years old. We both had no father or mother.
, homeless, through various channels, and finally ended up at Teacher Du Fanghua’s family-style orphanage.”
"You stayed there until you were nine years old?" I asked softly.
Ye Xing looked at me, nodded, and replied thoughtfully: "We grew up carefree in Mrs. Du's family-style orphanage. Grandma Du taught us piano skills and gave us the best musical enlightenment.
Education also provided us with a good environment where we had no worries about food and clothing. She also named me and Kexin respectively from poems. My original name was Ye Xing, and Kexin’s original name was Xingyu."
I nodded slowly and realized that the "Xingyu" in the old photo of Du Fanghua's family was Yang Kexin.
"Grandma Du placed her wishes on Kexin and I, because not only were we cute and beautiful, but we were also about the same age, and we were also very talented. Grandma Du jokingly called us her golden couple, and swore that we would be together in her lifetime.
She must train us to become talents, but her wish was shattered when we were nine years old..."
Speaking of this, Ye Xing's tone darkened.
"Did she suddenly fall ill that year?" I reminded her.
Ye Xing nodded to me and murmured: "Yeah, we were still very young at the time and didn't know what a stroke meant. We only knew that Grandma Du suddenly fainted while teaching us how to play the piano and was later sent to the hospital.
, and then I never saw her again. Grandma Du stopped coming, and the orphanage could no longer run. The teacher who usually taught us and the aunt who cooked were all gone. We children were pitifully gathered together.
, I didn’t know what to do in the future. Later, several adults in very formal clothes came. They talked to us children respectively, asked us about our age and some basic information, and registered us one by one, and then we were
Taken to the public children's welfare home in Tsukishima City."
At this point, Ye Xing raised his head and explained to me: "At that time, Linhai City Children's Welfare Home was merged with Yuedao City Children's Welfare Home because there were few children, so we were sent directly to Yuedao City.
That welfare home."
I nodded lightly and asked, "Is that where you were adopted by the Yang family and the Ye family respectively?"
Ye Xing nodded, wiped his face subconsciously, and whispered: "A lot of things happened in the meantime."
"Oh? What's going on?" I asked softly.
Ye Xing looked at me and calmly told me: "You know that some public children's welfare homes have very average conditions. Because there are many children, the funds allocated there are limited, so the number of teachers and aunts hired is also limited. I remember that at that time It was winter, and Xingyu and I had just arrived at the children's welfare home. Due to a shortage of funds, the heating in the home was poor. In short, the welfare home gave me a cold feeling. In addition, there were many children, few teachers, and there were many people around. There were strangers and the food was very poor. This was in stark contrast to Grandma Du’s warm, spring-rich family-style orphanage, so Xingyu and I were not psychologically able to accept such a change at the time. Before, When we were in Grandma Du's orphanage, Xingyu and I had the best relationship. Later, when we were assigned to Yuedao City Children's Welfare Home, we children were not in the same class, but Xingyu and I were still in get out of class. We spent our free time looking for each other, and then secretly discussed what we should do in the future. At that time, we didn’t know how seriously ill Grandma Du was. We all thought she would wake up again, and the conditions of the children’s welfare home were really poor. , so in the end Xingyu and I found a free moment when the orphanage teacher was not paying attention and ran away."
Hearing this, I was surprised. It turned out that there was such a connection between them. I couldn't help asking: "Where did you escape to?"
Because I really can't imagine how far two nine-year-old children can escape in a strange city in the cold winter?
Ye Xing smiled bitterly at me, and then murmured: "We took the bus and arrived at the train station. We wanted to buy train tickets to Linhai City and find Grandma Du. Unfortunately, we didn't have enough money, so we had to go to the train station.
We stayed all night. The staff at the train station saw that there were only two of us and there were no adults around, so they became suspicious and asked what was going on. I made up a lie to the uncle, and then took Xingyu with me.
We ran away quickly because I was afraid that he would catch us and send us back to that cold and shabby children's welfare home."
"You just ran away like this? Where did you go after that?" At this moment, my heart was tightly grasped by their fate.
A faint bitter smile appeared on Ye Xing's face again, and he murmured: "On a cold winter night, where can two nine-year-old children escape to? They can only run aimlessly along the street. At that time, we were really
I was cold and hungry, and Xingyu was so hungry that I could hardly walk. I stole a few buns from a bun shop that was open at night, and then I pulled Xingyu and ran all the way, getting rid of the proprietress who was chasing us behind me, and then
We huddled in a corner of an alley, feeding each other and filling our bellies with those steamed buns."
"What happened next? You guys stayed outside like this all the time?" My heart was really affected by the fate of these two children. I seemed to have seen that cold winter night, on that small street.
Two ill-fated children clinging to each other in an alley.
Ye Xing shook his head helplessly and replied in a low voice: "If that was the case, then we would have frozen to death long ago. Xingyu was so cold that she almost fainted. There was really no way, so I took her back
After all, it was warmer in the waiting hall of the train station. The staff didn’t let us go this time. They called the police, and then the police officers took us back to the children’s welfare home.”
