This kind of scene does not have the tension and depression of a life-and-death situation at all. Instead, it feels like an old friend reuniting after many years.
But Uncle Huo on the side was obviously a little uncomfortable.
Watching Huo Yutong pour cups of hot tea, he said slowly:
"Yutong, do you want to talk about the past again?"
Huo Yutong did not speak, but picked up a cup of tea and handed it to me.
Looking at me, her eyes were full of concern.
"It's getting cold. Let's drink some hot tea to keep warm. Where is the girl named Zhang Fan who came with you last time?"
I took the tea cup somewhat flattered and hurriedly replied:
"She didn't come to Bashu this time, she should still be in southern Guangdong!"
"That girl is good. When you meet her father, don't forget to mention our bet to him and what I wrote to him..."
Huo Yutong smiled.
I must say, her smile is beautiful.
But to me, this smile seems to be somewhat kind.
"Yutong!"
Uncle Huo was obviously a little impatient, and he shouted again.
This time, Huo Yutong handed the tea cup to Uncle Huo.
"Brother, after all these years, why are you still so short-tempered?"
Although Uncle Huo was dissatisfied, he still took the teacup.
"Have you seen Wanru?"
Uncle Huo nodded.
"Is she okay?"
Huo Yutong asked.
Uncle Huo's hand holding the tea cup couldn't help but tremble.
"I don't know, it should be pretty good!"
"Do you still miss her?"
Huo Yutong asked again.
Uncle Huo put the tea cup on the tea table and asked:
"What do you think?"
Huo Yutong was as gentle as water and smiled calmly.
"If you ask me, of course you can't let her go, let alone let go of the bad relationship you had in the past. Otherwise, how could you have settled this life-and-death situation with Brother Bai Yu?"
Uncle Huo didn't speak.
"Brother, have you ever thought about it? It has been more than twenty years, and the person you miss is still there, and you can still see her and say a few words to her. Don't you think this is a kind of happiness?"
As he spoke, Huo Yutong sighed softly, his eyes showing sadness.
"What about me? For so many years, the person I have been thinking about has been separated by yin and yang. He has become a symbol. I once thought that I would be willing to spend the rest of my life in exchange for letting me see him, even just for a moment.
Or you can just say a word. But you know, all this is impossible..."
As he spoke, tears shone in the corners of Huo Yutong's eyes.
"Brother, you may not believe it. I want him to live, even if he no longer loves me, but falls in love with someone else, I am willing to marry a wife and have children. As long as he lives..."
Huo Yutong's words made my heart tremble.
Although I am emotionally dull, I am not a fool.
I have already guessed that the man Huo Yutong mentioned should be my father.
But what is the relationship between her and my father?
Could it be that, like Sui Jiangwan, she is also my father's confidante? Or is it?
Thinking of this, I don't dare to think about it.
I tried hard to recall everything about my mother during my childhood.
But all the impressions of my mother that remain in my mind are just blurry images.
There is no specific person, let alone specific sound and image.
"We are talking about two different things. Wanru is doing well, and I feel relieved. But the matter between Liu Baiyu and I must be settled. Yutong, don't you want to bet on my behalf? If you don't want to, then I
Come on your own!"
Uncle Huo has a strong character. He, a person who doesn't even know the basic skills, actually wants to play in person.
Huo Yutong sighed, shook his head and said:
"Brother, why don't you understand? I just want to ask you, do you hope Wanru will live well?"
Uncle Huo thought for a moment and nodded slowly.
"Then you should understand that once the game of life and death begins, the gambler can only survive one of the two. You should know that whether the loser is you or Liu Baiyu. Xie Wanru will spend her whole life feeling guilty and guilty.
.Is this what you want from her?"
What Huo Yutong said does make sense.
But she just thinks about this issue from the perspective of a kind woman.
It was obvious that Uncle Huo's thoughts were completely different from hers.
Then Uncle Huo said loudly:
"I can't control that much anymore. I, Huo Yuhan, must avenge the hatred of seizing my wife!"
"Brother, why are you still so stubborn? Yes, Liu Baiyu did something wrong, and Xie Wanru was wrong too. But have you ever thought about it, if you hadn't been obsessed with your position as the boss of Brother Laohui, thinking about your brothers every day, and leaving the family?
It’s like a hotel. I only go home three or five times a month. Let me ask you, what woman can stand you like this?”
"What about that person of yours? Isn't he the same wanderer and merciless? Aren't you the same? We spend less time together and stay apart more often? Why haven't I seen you, and have you ever had thoughts of wandering around?"
"Huo Yuhan!"
It can be felt that Huo Yutong is a little angry.
Looking at Uncle Huo, she said slowly:
"I don't allow you to say that about him!"
Facing Huo Yutong's anger, Uncle Huo obviously gave in.
He sighed and asked slowly:
"You mean you won't bet with Liu Baiyu anymore?"
To my surprise, Huo Yutong slowly shook his head:
"No, I want to bet with him!"
Um?
Everyone looked at Huo Yutong in surprise, and she continued:
"But the stake is not life or death, but Brother Bai Yu has to answer a question for me..."
"What's the problem?"
Liu Baiyu seemed to have thought of something, and he hurriedly asked.
"What exactly happened in Yundian back then?"
Liu Baiyu was startled, and he slowly shook his head:
"Miss Huo, do you believe me when I say I don't know?"
