Chapter 79 Chapter78 Nothing to Worry Nothing to Worry About

On the thirteenth day of the lunar calendar, when Ah Heng was sorting out the sundries at home, he received a phone call. The call came from an unfamiliar voice, he said that he had met Ah Heng a few times, and he wanted to pass on something to her that he wanted. Ah Heng asked who he was. He said that his surname was Chen and that he and Yan Xi were old acquaintances. Ah Heng suddenly remembered who this person was.The secretary of the Lu family, the person Yan Xi is afraid of. Lin Ruomei had been replaced by Lu Liu two years ago, and the only surname in the Lu family has long been Lu.As for the Wen family, they took part in it, but they didn't know how much of it they took.

She asked him where he was going, Xiao Chen gave an address, and Ah Heng wrote it down on a note paper and put it in the phone book, just in case of accidents.Later, worried that Yanxi was involved, he tore up the paper, and was about to send text messages to relatives and friends, but he could count them all, and felt a little dazed.Because of Lu Liu, she has no one to trust.Her relatives and friends are also Lu Liu's relatives and friends, so why make things difficult for others. Ah Heng sighed and went to the meeting alone. She took the No. 122 bus, and then turned to No. 159 and No. 173. It took a long time to get to the destination.

There are many high-rise buildings here, and it used to be a very prosperous commercial center, but for some reason, with the changes of the city, it gradually withered.The place where Secretary Chen was located was a tall building in the complex, next to the fountain on the square. He said that he was waiting for Ah Heng on the top floor. When Ah Heng reached the top floor, he was taken aback.The top floor was actually a vast open space, separated by an iron door with thick red rust, which must have been locked before, but now it was lightly covered and opened with a push.Surrounded by wooden horses, slides, and four-wheel-drive lanes, it is clearly a paradise for urchins.There are only a few pots of withered roselles in the corner, hanging down, huge and pitiful.

The few times I met him before, Secretary Chen was wearing glasses, a neat suit, and a gentle face, but now he was wearing a denim jacket, sitting quietly on the ground, staring at these dusty toys, holding Holding a can of beer. Seeing Ah Heng coming, he nodded slightly, and took out a palm-sized red four-wheel drive from the large denim jacket. The car was exquisitely crafted, carefully collected, and well maintained. The warm light reflected by the color. He handed it to Ah Heng, who was stunned. Secretary Chen smiled slightly: "Yanxi's childhood toy has been with me for so long, it's time to return it to him."

Ah Heng shook his head, turned his hands away, and looked at him suspiciously, not daring to accept it. Secretary Chen smiled: "What a lovely child, no wonder." Ah Heng is very straightforward: "You are a bad person, Yanxi doesn't like you, so don't bother him again in the future." Secretary Chen's smile became bitter: "To Yanxi, I am indeed a bad person. But it's not because of those dirty photos." He said: "I give you this car to tell you and to remind you that the relationship and entanglements between Boss and Yanxi are beyond your control. And I owe Yanxi that I will Take it to the grave and keep it in the next life."

Ah Heng said, "Lu Liu asked you to come." Secretary Chen swallowed a mouthful of beer and nodded.He said: "Man is the master, I am just a pawn moving around." Ah Heng narrowed his eyes: "Why didn't he tell me directly, but let you come?" Secretary Chen gently placed the car that Ah Heng hadn't picked up on the winding and delicate little driveway, watching it run non-stop, his brows and eyes gradually softened, cautious and gentle.He said: "You snatched his cutest toy. He hated you and disdained you very much in his heart, so he naturally refused to come by himself. The reason why he sent me was probably because I was also a participant in Yanxi's past. I know everything about him and Lu Liu."

Ah Heng stopped the red car and put it in his palm to look at it. When he looked closely, he found that the paint color was uneven, as if it had been repainted later. Secretary Chen smiled: "It has a story." "so what?" "So, what Lu Liu wants to tell you is this story. "I've described this incident in detail from the beginning, and Miss Wen can distinguish right from wrong. "The story begins with me. I have no name. I grew up in an orphanage. I only know that my surname is Chen. Later, I was adopted by the Lu family and was always called Xiao Chen. When I was ten years old, because I answered a few puzzles correctly , was taken away from the orphanage by the Lu family. At first I thought there would be a complete family, but in fact, they were always trained as pawns.

"You know what a chess piece is, right? It is the kind of person who is usually a helper and can be discarded at critical moments. I was sent to the best business school to study, and there were many children of the same age with me. They and I existed only for The only grandson of the Lu family, that is, Lu Liu. He needs a hard chessboard, in fact, many times this is more important than a hard heart." Secretary Chen paused for a moment, then smiled. His voice was soft, reminiscent, and seemed joyful: "And I, because of my excellent grades, were sent to Lu Liu's side in advance to teach him about his usual study and life. When Lu Liu was a child , is a very gentle and kind child, um, I feel a little like Miss Tong Wen, you look like a little jade, and are often called "little Lu Bodhisattva" by the elders.

"I observed him secretly. You know, I was not innocent when I came to him. I want to report his every move to Mr. Lu, and I want to prevent him from becoming only aware of the beauty of this world, or even getting too close to the same person. But he would keep looking at me and say pitifully: "Brother, let me play with Yanxi for a while, we will do our homework after we beat the monsters." At that time, it was the first time I heard it from him. To Yanxi's name." Ah Heng smiled slightly: "Was Yanxi as sharp as he is now when he was a child?" Secretary Chen waved his hand, lost in thought: "No, no, it's not what it looks like now. I've never seen such a smiling child, with baby fat on his face, doll head, big eyes, and a small mouth. Can laugh in the shape of a heart. Every time I see him, he is always wearing a pair of pink pig-head slippers, with a bag of milk hanging from his mouth, running behind Lu Liu and gurgling.

"He grew up with Lu Liu, and the two... because of the same loneliness, they have always had a good relationship. There is a saying - inseparable, which can often be confirmed by them. "I often see them sitting on the carpet and playing Transformers together, killing villains with game controllers, but unconsciously sleeping soundly in front of their little heads. Ah, by the way, Yanxi slept well when she was a child." The problem of sucking his thumb is probably because he has no mother since he was very young. "This is what I set up for Lu Liu and Xi'er. No one has ever called Yan Xi like that before, because that is my exclusive name. I call him Xi'er because he is a child I cherish very much in my heart. I used to I gave this toy car to him when he was young, and he often put it in his pocket. When I called Seele, he saluted me seriously, and then put the car on the track and told me: Sir, everything is ready, please be fair referee.

"He played against Lu Liu, and I was the referee, and he often lost. He always thought it was because of my lack of preference that he lost to Lu Liu. He mistakenly thought I was unfair. But I live for Lu Liu, Loving Xi'er is already a kind of injustice. "For Mr. Lu, I chose to remain silent and no longer actively report. I just taught Lu Liu some business skills in a timely manner, took him to eat the cheapest but really delicious food I had eaten when I was a child, and told him how gentle the world is. Lu Liuchao I am developing in the direction I expected—a close partner with a soft heart. But this is no longer within the range that Mr. Lu can tolerate. He was furious and wanted to take back everything I had, including a child who could be by my side identity of. "Lu Liu cried and begged him, saying that his grandfather should not drive his brother away. He would never dare again. Since then, Lu Liu has changed a lot. He has self-control and endurance. Although he has a gentle face, he is not talkative anymore. He She relies more and more on me, but drifts away from Yanxi. "At that time, Yan Xi had just entered junior high school, and the little child had just grown into a teenager. At that time, the beauty was just half hidden, but a smile and a look in the eyes were so clean and soul-stirring. He was holding a picture folder Running around the city, drawing whatever he saw. I once saw him tiptoe kissing a bright little flower growing in the cracks of the city wall, and I saw him sitting in the park with his head bowed, drawing a stray kitten. He He fed those kittens, but the kittens were very indifferent and never smiled at him. Therefore, after a long time, he understood some truths in the world, and he refused to smile when he saw people. He said that those who love to laugh are fools, Fools will be looked down upon by the hard-hearted. "Later, he often went to the places where Lu Liu and I went to eat together, and when he came back, he told us very seriously: 'I have eaten your food, it is too sweet, too sour, too bitter, and it is not good. real.' "Lu Liu looked at him, but he always smiled meaninglessly. He looked young and energetic, but tried to tolerate or endure Yan Xi's childishness. He often said to me: 'Brother, Yan Xi is still too young, is it right? Isn't it?" He was eager to announce his growth, and he would rather teach me how to eat a complicated and luxurious European-style meal than expose my weakness and hold me and cry. "However, he and Yanxi are so strikingly similar, sometimes even like the shadow of each other. No one is happy to lose their shadow. Yanxi is unhappy, and Lu Liu is also abnormal. "He often said that he had to think of a better way to make Yanxi stronger, so that they could be the best friends in the world again, and even grandpa couldn't be separated. But even if he thought so, However, his behavior has already shown his dislike and hatred for Yan Xi's naive and ignorant age. "Yanxi used to love to sing a random song to Lu Liu. The lyrics said, la la la la, the sky is getting dark, the sunflower has lost me. Lu Liu asked where I am, and Yan Xi sang Answer: The sunflower has you. Others say that Yanxi is as bright as a sunflower now, but he is just the light itself, and he has never relied on the light beside him. Lu Liu is like the moon, and he has been relying on him for warmth. This warmth is endless, and he gets used to it I don't think so. Lu Liu told me, brother, when I turn around, Yanxi is there, it's really annoying." Turning around, Yanxi frowned and pretended not to smile, it was really annoying to be so weak, but standing there in the bright sunshine. Secretary Chen hesitated, and said softly: "In 1997, I don't know if you heard from the news that there was an explosion at the southern end of City B. It was caused by fireworks in a bar during the Chinese New Year. Thirty-three people died. people." Ah Heng tried hard to recall, and remembered the tragedy.The blazing flames engulfed and exploded, spreading wantonly, endlessly melting, and terribly crying. She had seen those misery magnified in newspapers back then. Secretary Chen rolled up the beer cans and looked at the sky wearily: "At that time, I, Lu Liu, and Yan Xi were all there. Lu Liu and Yan Xi drank too much, and I watched them quietly. I see Watching the fireworks in the arena, one moment I thought it was beautiful, but the next second I heard tragic cries, which spread with the wind." "I, at the time, only chose one," he said. Ah Heng was in a daze, with tears dripping from the corners of her eyes, looking at him in disbelief, her heart ached and her breath was squeezed out, she couldn't breathe, and finally, like crazy, she knocked him to the ground.She kept crying, hoarse, and shouted: "How could you, how could you give up on him so easily?" Secretary Chen's eyes were numb, and he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth: "My first reaction was to grab Lu Liu, and Yan Xi grabbed his hand, looking at us with fear and pleading. I couldn't take two half-old children out together. . Yan Xi's eyes were full of sadness that almost expected the ending, Lu Liu shook off his hand fiercely, and said to me: "Don't look back, don't turn back." I didn't know at the time, these were just the thoughts of young Lu Liu. Yes, a conspiracy to train Yanxi's mind. "But, I turned around. There were tears in Yanxi's eyes. He fell to the ground, so thin, looking up at the melting signboard, and crawling out desperately." Desperate... Desperate... Desperate... He said: "When I brought Lu Liu to a safe place, the bar had become a sea of ​​flames. I couldn't tell where was the fire and where was Yanxi. I seemed to hear him shouting 'Brother save me', but I can't find him anymore, only this scorched car. I can't get rid of it, and almost every day is a nightmare. Lu Liu didn't want to face Yan Xi, so he went to Vienna for the reason of studying abroad. " He was lying on the ground, smiling sadly and crying: "I promised him that I would love him justly, just like I did to Lu Liu. But in 1997, one month after Lu Liu left, I watched helplessly. He was insulted by the people that Lin Ruomei brought, and he picked up the camera in order to end his pain. I called Xier softly through the camera. He hung his head, as if he hadn't heard it, clenched his fists, and his whole body was dark. Lu Liu and I finally destroyed that silly child who was willing to give us unlimited sunshine, we destroyed love itself." Ah Heng took a deep breath, but tears were all over his face.She kept wiping her eyes with her sleeves, wiping them, but crouched on the ground, crying loudly. In 1997, Hong Kong returned to the motherland, and the whole country was jubilant; now that she has grown up a bit, she can already eat half a bowl; the school sent her to the city for the first time to participate in a math competition, and she was lucky enough to win the first place. She counted a lot, but it seemed that everything had nothing to do with her Mr. Yan. It was getting dark, and someone gently pushed open the creaking door. The man looked at the red car drawing a beautiful arc on the track, and there might have been cheers around many years ago.It may be for one person's victory, or it may be for another person's failure. In this city, some people lose completely, while others win vainly. He quietly walked past the tall man wearing glasses, who was no longer his childhood appearance. They all want him to grow up, and look, because of this blowing up the seedlings, he is older and more desolate than everyone else. Holding the address he had painstakingly pieced together in his hand, he gently squatted down and hugged the crying little girl into his arms. Aheng lowered his head and tremblingly said: "I can't even find a reason to tell them in 1997 that the boy they abandoned will also be another person's heart and soul in 2003. They even use the reason that they don't know Almost trampled on someone else's treasure!" Yan Xi was stunned, and stared carefully at the child, only to find that the sadness and pain in her eyes were engraved in her bones, and could not be deeper. Almost instantly, he understood what she was talking about. He felt sad, but hurriedly stuffed Ah Heng into his arms: "Baby, I crawled out, look, I am so powerful, I don't need others to save me. I understand that this world is unfair, but I just, don't Knowing what other people's love looks like." Love is abandonment, love is doing what you can and then doing nothing, for them, love is everything except what love looks like. "I don't need it, and I don't care about it." He squeezed Ah Heng's bones, almost into his own muscles and bones, and said, "But, Wen Heng, there is only one person in this world, and he must love me fairly. You must love me alone." Wen Heng, you must be fair and only love me. only you. Ah Heng looked up at him, looked at him deeply, and nodded slightly after a long time. She promised him to be fair, and she could only be so partial for herself in the future. She wiped away tears and frowned, but she looked so serious.She said to him: "Unless there is loess and bones, I will protect you for a hundred years without any worries." Light a longevity lamp and bargain for a hundred-year life.Yan Xi was ninety-seven years old, and Ah Heng was three years old. Swear with the gods, explain with the gods. She can no longer turn back.
