In the parking lot in front of Shen's house, Xia Yiran walked a few steps to catch up with Xu Wen who was opening the car door and said:
"Hey, are you just leaving like this?"
Xu Wen turned around and smiled and said:
"What else can I do if I don't leave? Do I have to rely on others?"
"Thank you for helping me out just now." Xia Yiran took the initiative to extend his hand to Xu Wen.
"No, I just don't want those dirty hands to touch such delicate skin."
Xu Wen held Xia Yiran's slender hand, and the two of them stared face to face with their eyes facing each other. The currents in their hearts surged out from their eyes and met in the air, entangled with each other. Although the physical time was only a few seconds, for them
It seems like it has been thousands of years. Xia Yiran's cheeks were slightly red and he smiled and asked:
"Can I give your car a ride?"
"Of course, I'm willing to help you." Xu Wen quickly walked to the other side of the car and opened the door for Xia Yiran.
The car was driving on the spacious streets of the city. The two of them were staring ahead, but thinking about each other in their hearts. They were calmly silent like a pair of old friends. There was warmth and tacit understanding in the car.
"Where to go?" Xu Wen asked casually.
"go drinking."
"Is there any place you are familiar with? I'm not very familiar with this place."
"Yes, turn left at the intersection ahead. Is this your first time in Zhongjiang?"
"No, I grew up in a village in the southern suburbs of Zhongjiang. I left Zhongjiang eight years ago and didn't come back until a few days ago."
"What kind of work do you do?"
"I can do everything. I've been a driver, a restaurant owner, a bodyguard, and a company boss."
"What city did you live in before?"
“I’ve been to many places, both domestically and abroad.”
"Do you have a wife and children?"
"Haha, no." Xu Wen smiled and said, "I haven't met the right person until today."
After Xu Wen said this, he turned and glanced at Xia Yiran, who looked at him understandingly and then lowered his head shyly.
The two came to a place called "Xia Restaurant". Judging from the neon lights and signs at the door, it was a high-end restaurant that provided Chinese and Western food. The waiter at the door saw Xia Yiran coming in and bowed politely to say hello.
:
"Hello, miss!"
"This is Mr. Xu." Xia Yiran pointed to Xu Wen beside him and said.
"Hello, Mr. Xu." The waiter quickly bowed again and said hello.
"Let me tell you, manager, that from now on all Mr. Xu's purchases here will be recorded in my account."
"Copy that, miss." The waiter agreed quickly.
In a warm and exquisite private room on the top floor of Xia Restaurant, Xu Wen and Xia Yiran clinked their wine glasses affectionately.
"Tell me your story." Xia Yiran said, holding a wine glass and shaking the red wine in it.
"Why should I speak first?" Xu Wen asked deliberately after taking a sip of wine.
"Men first." Xia Yiran pretended to be coquettish.
"Okay, which part do you want to hear?"
"I want to hear everything. I want to know your whole life. But you can take your time. We have plenty of time. What I'm most interested in is how you know you are a member of the Shen family."
"You don't doubt my identity?"
"Of course! I dare say that even that old ghost Shen Yunguang doesn't doubt it. When you said Shen Yunhe's name, his body visibly trembled."
"Your observation skills are very keen." Xu Wen stretched out his thumb towards Xia Yiran, and then told his story.
Xu Wen said that he had worked as a driver, opened a restaurant, worked as a bodyguard, and was a company owner. In fact, these were not his true identities. His true identity was that of a field agent affiliated with the diplomatic system. However, Xu Wen would not tell anyone
He is an agent, including Xia Yiran. This is the discipline of the organization.
When Xu Wen was 18 years old, he was drafted into the army. He showed excellent physical and mental qualities in the recruit company. After the training of the recruit company, he joined a secret unit and later became an agent. Eight years ago, he was ordered
I went abroad to perform a mission and just returned home for vacation a few days ago because the mission was successfully completed.
During the eight years of his mission, he cut off all contact with his family. When he returned to his long-lost hometown of Zhongjiang, he learned that his parents had both died in a car accident some time ago.
It was raining heavily on the day Xu Wen returned to Zhongjiang, and the desolate raindrops enveloped the whole world. In front of a newly built tomb on the hillside, a trembling man knelt on the ground, and tears and rain flowed into his broken heart.
"dad--"
"mom--"
Two wails broke through the layers of rain and penetrated into the sky. I wonder if the spirits of his father and mother in heaven could hear the returning wanderer's call to them.
"Brother, go back." His younger brother Xu Wu put a black umbrella over his head again.
"Brother, when dad leaves, give me a box and ask me to give it to you." My sister Xu Ying also held the umbrella in her hand on Xu Wen's head.
Xu Wen raised his head and looked at his sister with doubtful eyes, as if asking what it could be?
His sister took out an old-fashioned iron pencil case from her arms and handed it to him. Xu Wen took the pencil case and opened it, and saw a letter and a small cloth bag inside. In the cloth bag was a bright yellow bead with a string attached to it.
A gold chain. On the envelope were written six vigorous and powerful characters: "My son Xu Wen personally expresses this".
Seeing their father's handwriting, the three siblings burst into tears. Xu Wen pressed the letter to his chest, and his siblings hugged him tightly.
Short article:
The moment you turned around and left, I wanted to write this letter. I don’t know when you will be able to go home again, and I don’t know if I will have the opportunity to say the following to you in person, so I wrote it down and put it here, but
May this be a letter that will never be needed.
My child, you are not the biological child of your mother and me. Someone sent you to our doorstep.
It was a sunny morning, and I hitched up our donkey and prepared to pull the cart into the city. When I opened the courtyard door, I saw you lying in a cardboard box at the door, smiling. I took you home, and from then on you
He became the boss of our Xu family. That day was June 22, 1990.
Judging from the clothes and bags you carry with you, your biological parents should be from a wealthy family. We also found a birth certificate on you with your parents' names written on it. Your parents named you Shen Feiwen
, your mother said that children from poor families should not fly, so we named you Xu Wen. Please forgive us for not mentioning that birth certificate to anyone, let alone you. We don’t want to lose you.
.
When you came here, there was a golden pearl hanging around your neck. It was not something ordinary people like us could have, so I kept it for you and thought of leaving it to your new wife when you get married.
My child, please forgive your parents for their selfishness, you will always be our baby.
