"I heard that you have found a new prey recently?" Lang Run picked up the cue and scored a ball with one stroke. He polished the silver billiard cue with his hand and looked thoughtfully at the pool table.
Si Lan taking aim.
With a 'bang' sound, the sound of the balls hitting each other was clear and sweet. The man who stood up looked at him and said, "What do you think?"
"No!" Lang Run put down the club, walked to the side, picked up a drink, took a sip, and said bluntly, "I, Lang, will not keep someone who is multitasking, so I fired him!"
Si Lan frowned, who is the culprit? I am not as shady as you are?
Lang Run glanced at him indifferently, who is the scheming one? Comparing with you? Yesterday, Zhang Chenchu expressed his strong desire to enter the cultural world when he was having dinner. Therefore, you are not the only one who is eyeing Lean! You are more scheming than me.
There are many people there!
This may be the invisible / rule / rule of City D. If you offend anyone, don't offend these four families. If you offend one family, the other three families will swarm up. The final result will be divided into corpses!
"What's the matter I asked?" After the round, Si Lan lost interest in continuing to play and put down the cue.
"I read the information you sent me. The most recent inspection information was from two months ago. I want to see the latest one. You can bring him over and check it before we talk!"
Si Lan frowned when he received this reply, but because Shu Ran had also undergone eardrum surgery before, he also knew the state before the surgery. Shang Qingwen even learned sign language and lip reading during that time, but that was the day after tomorrow.
However, after repairing the eardrum, I still heard Shang Qingwen say that Shu Ran would have tinnitus from time to time and could not hear clearly. It can be seen that no matter how good the surgery is, it will not be restored to the original state. What's more, Chengjia is congenitally deaf!
Langrun looked at his thoughtful friend, raised his hand and threw him a can of drink, "Do they know you are so busy?"
"I heard that you are getting married, did you know?" The drink can that was thrown hit Langrun in mid-air. Langrun ducked his head and frowned. Is there something wrong? I just asked one more question.
!
Young Master Run, who quickly dodged to avoid being hit in the face, narrowed his gloomy eyes rudely, "Well, can you tell me, who is my marriage partner?"
Marriage? Nonsense, who am I going to marry? Why don’t I know?
Si Lan couldn't help but put his hand on his forehead. After so many years, this guy still hasn't developed the habit of reading the headlines every morning. The news published in the newspaper that the Second Major General Lang will hold a grand wedding in half a year is probably known to everyone in the city.
The protagonist is still in the dark. When he arrived, Shang Qingwen made a bet with him, saying that he must not know yet. He is indeed the second eldest son of the Lang family, and he is the second best!
Si Lan covered his forehead and turned around with an expression like "Don't tell anyone I know you", leaving Lang Run alone with the remaining half of the can in his hand, squinting his eyes and really thinking.
Who do I marry?
－－－－－Gorgeous dividing line－－－－－－－
On the fourth day of chickenpox, the originally bright blisters began to become a little cloudy. Mother Wei said this was a symptom that was about to be cured. Once the water inside the blisters became cloudy, the blisters would disappear soon.
Lin Xuejing gritted her teeth and stood in the bathroom, slowly washing her body with warm water. She didn't dare to turn the water on too high for fear of breaking the blisters. She couldn't use shower gel or soap, she could only use
Rinse with warm water and keep body dry.
The four days she stayed at home were like a year. She looked up at the mirror covered with a towel. She no longer dared to look at herself in the mirror. The day the chickenpox first appeared, she almost fainted from fright.
The original appearance was no longer visible on her face, and it was covered in dense blisters. It was horrible to look at. At first, her face felt itchy and she rubbed it with her fingers. When she saw the face in the mirror,
, she was so frightened that she never dared to touch it again. If she was really going to get a scar, could she go out with such honor?
The chickenpox on Chengjia's body disappeared faster, and some of the blisters on her back had already begun to swell and form scars. This good phenomenon made Lin Xuejing happy all morning. After lunch, the mother and son started playing chess.
These days should be the most leisurely days for Lin Xuejing in the past five years. She had to lament that she could not go out because of chickenpox and could only stay at home with her children. This seemingly helpless choice made her understand that she owed her son too much. For life and work,
She turned herself into a wind-up alarm clock, thinking about how to make more money every minute. She remembered the children's birthday that year. The children's birthday wish was just for her to be at home with them.
They had one day, that day she specifically asked for leave and went home to cook longevity noodles for them. It was just a bowl of noodles, but they were so happy!
The chess pieces on the chessboard were densely covered, but Lin Xuejing took the chess pieces and didn't put them down for a long time. A cheerful child's voice rang in her ears, "Oh, mom, how could you make this move? Don't be fooled by this move of your brother's."
You’re confused, he’s deceiving you, go this way, go this way, you must have heard me right! Look, my brother’s face has changed, haha, I told you to bully your mother who has a weak IQ!”
"Lin Chengyi, who do you think has a weak IQ?"
"Ah? Mom, did you hear me? I didn't, I didn't -"
"Isn't it you? Did I say that? You glib little thing!"
"Ah, mother, you bully the younger ones, brother, help me -"
...
"Mom, it's your turn!" Chengjia looked at his mother holding the chess piece, her eyes stagnant on the chessboard, and her expression was as quiet as a daze. He stretched out his hand and gently took down the chess piece she was holding with his fingers.
in a position.
Lin Xuejing came back to her senses, and realized that she was distracted again. She twitched her lips in embarrassment and looked at the chess game in front of her. When she lowered her eyes, she still couldn't hide the strange expression caused by the complicated emotions in her heart. She stood up, turned around, and faced
Little Chengjia, who was sitting there, whispered "I'm sorry!" and walked towards his bedroom.
There was a dead silence in the living room again, the chess pieces on the chessboard were still there, and the person sitting was facing the empty seat, with a look of pain on his little face.
When the door of the living room was opened, Si Lan who came in only saw little Chengjia facing him in the living room. There was a game of chess in front of him. He was sitting there motionless. He didn't know how long he stayed in this posture.
Mother Wei needs to work during the day, and Si Lan has also confirmed that Mother Wei will work overtime tonight.
Little Chengjia didn't feel the slightest surprise when facing the people who came in. It would be unreasonable to stop him at this mere door. He raised his face and looked at the man walking over. The key ring in his hand was holding the key ring.
A new key is the key to this door.
Si Lan walked in, didn't say a word, but sat across from little Chengjia, picked up a chess piece and dropped it on the chessboard.
The living room was still quiet, but from time to time there was the sound of chess pieces falling and hitting the chessboard. Two men, one large and one small, sat in the living room and started playing chess without saying anything.
Chengjia's chess piece was eventually surrounded by the opponent's pieces. He looked at the chess game and said in a mute voice, "We are all trying hard to get out of that vicious circle, but no matter how hard we try, we can't get out!"
Si Lan frowned as he listened to the child's heart-wrenching words, and then looked at his downcast expression with a lifeless expression. He stretched out his hand and disrupted the pieces on the chessboard one by one, picking them up one by one, revealing a blank space.
After doing all this, he looked at little Chengjia and asked, "Have you come out yet?"
"Life is not a chess game. You need to follow the steps step by step. You can disrupt a chess game, or you can make all your chessboards empty. You don't have to follow the steps step by step? Because in your world, you are the one
As the master of the chess game, you have the final say on how to play the game according to the rules. You can be in the game or jump out to observe the game. It depends on how you choose!"
Chengjia raised his face and looked at the person sitting opposite him. He was slowly picking up the chess pieces one by one, leaving the entire chessboard empty. The look he looked at him after saying this was not looking at him.
The eyes of a child. For so many years, what he has seen from his mother and other people's eyes are pity, care, and care for a little baby. His eyes are different because the stance he takes is different. These words
It made him clearly feel that the person he was talking to was at the same level as him. This was not a conversation between one person and one person, but a conversation between two people at the same level.
"Have you ever made such a choice?"
Si Lan paused while picking up the chess pieces. When he put the chess pieces back in the box, his eyes fell into deep thought. When he raised his eyes again, he smiled bitterly, "Yes, when I was four years old!"
Little Chengjia stared at the person in front of him motionlessly. Because his ears were weak, his eyes were extremely sensitive. Just like the perception of blind people is much more sensitive than that of ordinary people, when you have a defect in a certain part of your body,
Your other body organs are much better than the average person.
His smile was mixed with a bitter taste. Chengjia intuitively mentioned the other person's unhappy things. Although he was very curious, he still decided to stop it and dig into other people's secrets just to find some ways to comfort himself. This is actually
Sprinkle salt on other people's wounds, use other people's pain to dilute your own pain, let yourself find that sense of luck, feel that you are not the most pitiful person in the world, stand on the pain of others to comfort yourself, this is
A method that is inhumane at all!
The chessboard was placed again, and little Chengjia stopped asking other questions and started playing chess.
Si Lan felt that this must be the weirdest moment since he was thirty-five years old, sitting here quietly playing chess with a child less than five years old, not to mention how excellent Chengjia's chess player was. Although there were flaws,
For a five-year-old child, it is already very good to have reached this point. He was very curious about who taught him how to play chess. When asked, little Chengjia raised his head and spoke softly and evasively, "My brother
!”
Chengjia glanced at him as he spoke, and his tone was sad as he lowered his gaze, "He is smarter than me, and he learns everything the fastest!" After he finished speaking, he put down the chess piece in his hand. After all, he was only five years old, no matter how strong he was in self-control.
His power is still limited to a moment of forbearance. When he thinks of that person again, he will still feel sad. This is not something that can be forgotten. Things that penetrate into life, if you don't pay attention, you will have a sense of substitution. This kind of thing
How can it be isolated?
Si Lan looked at the child in front of him who was biting his lips and looking up at the ceiling stubbornly, trying to use this method to stop himself from being sad and crying.
"Do you want to see him?"
There was a "bang" sound, and there was the sound of a cup slipping and smashing on the floor at the door of the master bedroom.
－－－－－－－【Two days back in time】－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－
The Zhang family's special plane landed smoothly at the private airport. Zhang Chenchu had been sleeping all the way and was still awake even after arriving in London. He was woken up by his assistant. He lay still unwilling to move. He rubbed his eyes and asked, "Si
Where is Lan?"
"The President has got off the plane and asked me to inform you that if you haven't gotten off within five minutes, he won't wait for you!"
"Ah -" Zhang Chenchu got up and ran out the door. We agreed to go together, how could we leave him here? Zhang Chenchu got off the plane in a hurry and went straight to the car. Because of the jet lag, at this time
It was only around five o'clock in the morning in London. Going to a place like this at this time is a bit creepy when I think about it.
The car went straight to its destination, a cemetery in a certain suburb!
The suburbs were quiet in the early morning. Rolls-Royce cars drove smoothly on the suburban roads. People sitting in the cars did not appreciate the morning scenery outside at this time. It was almost dawn. The scenery in the suburbs was beautiful!
Zhang Chenchu, who was sitting in the back seat of the car, reached out and touched Si Lan, who had not said a few words all the way. He was not too sleepy and had not slept a wink on the plane. Before Zhang Chenchu went to sleep, he saw him flipping through information and woke up in the middle of the flight.
He was still looking at it in the bathroom without even closing his eyes.
"Si Lan, you have removed the so-called president of a certain bank who refused to board the plane. I also checked several people who agreed with him. They are all people with no social background. Let's just forget about it, okay?
"Zhang Chenchu let out a low sigh and sighed for the unlucky president. You were indeed unlucky and made a mistake. Your misfortune has been blamed on the Si family!
Two and a half months ago, an accident occurred at the London Airport. The cause was that one of the passengers was carrying an urn and all the procedures had been completed. When he was boarding the plane, he was discovered by a passenger. The passenger claimed that there was something on the plane.
It is a taboo for Chinese people to refuse boarding on the grounds of an urn. Although the airline stipulates that as long as the procedures and packaging are completed as required, passengers carrying urns can board the plane without causing any objection from passengers.
, but it was obvious that someone on the same plane objected and got into a fight when coordination failed. The urn was knocked over. The person carrying the urn cried while holding the urn at the airport, but in the end it was because of the refusal.
There were more and more people boarding the plane. She failed to board the plane.
The passenger who wanted to bring the urn back to China was Lin Xuejing, and the box contained the ashes of that child!
She didn't want to let the child live alone in the outside world. She wanted to bring him back, but in the end she was weak and the child's ashes remained in England.
The cemetery was so quiet in the early morning. The car stopped at its destination along the path. In the cemetery with many tombstones, the child's tombstone was not eye-catching at all. The only difference was that among a bunch of tombstones with English epitaphs, his
The tombstone is the most special. It is the only tombstone here that indicates the identity of the deceased in Chinese.
There is no photo on the tombstone, only one name, Lin Chengyi!
The flowers placed in front of the tombstone had withered. Zhang Chenchu looked at the people standing in front of the tombstone. He called the people leading the way away, walked over and looked at the tombstone solemnly in the thin morning light. The words on the tombstone
The words were in Chinese, so he saw them as soon as he got out of the car.
It’s really quiet here!
Zhang Chenchu felt so depressed that he looked at the motionless man standing in front of the tombstone, his eyes fixed on the words on the tombstone.
What's the best thing to say at this time, I'm afraid even he doesn't know what to say.
I'm late!
But this sentence "It's too late" is so desolate!
Zhang Chenchu dug around in his trouser pocket and took out a few chocolate candies, walked over and placed them on the cement floor in front of the tombstone, reached out and touched the tombstone, squatted there and started to tear open a candy with his hands.
"Uncle, let me treat you to some sweets! But don't eat too much sweets. If you eat too much, you will get cavities. Just like that beautiful girl, she has cavities. Don't imitate her!"
Zhang Chenchu squatted there and chattered, talking about some random things. Not only did he peel the candy and put it in front of the tombstone, he also peeled one and threw it in his mouth. He chewed it and said, "Does it taste good?"
I'll bring you something more delicious next time,' and so on. After saying that, he looked up at the silent man standing aside and threw one over, "Your son will reward you with something to eat. Eat it quickly!"
Zhang Chenchu squatted on the ground and laughed non-stop as he spoke. In fact, he also knew that these words were not funny at all. They were just to relieve the atmosphere at this time. If he didn't find anything to say, he would feel extremely depressed and there would be a lump in his throat.
, Zhang Chenchu felt that he should sleep in the car or just sleep on the plane without coming.
To his surprise, Si Lan actually put the candy he threw at him into his mouth.
In the morning light, Si Lan stood in front of the tombstone and slowly finished the candy in his mouth. The chocolate on his lips and tongue had a bitter taste, and it became more and more bitter as he chewed it.
"There is a person. From the time he can speak, the first person he calls is dad. When he cries and is in pain, the person he calls is also dad. When he dreams, the person he calls is dad. From the time he is sensible, he has been waiting, waiting for his dad.
Show up and wait for his father to take him home--"
When the sky turned bright, he opened the coffin with his own hands, took out the small urn from inside, picked up the urn with his hands and leaned it gently with his face!
explain--
"Daddy takes you home!"
