Chapter 13 Chapter Thirteen

The black cat lay motionless on the window sill. There was still a lot of milk left in the small bowl in front of it. It licked the milk while looking at the room anxiously. Immediately raised his head again vigilantly. This is the building where Yin Xiamo and Xiao Cheng used to live. Everything was set up exactly as it was before she got married, the utensils in the kitchen were still in their familiar positions, and the white casserole with painted goldfish that had been taken away had returned to its original place. Ou Chen stood by the door of the kitchen. Although his back was still straight, his body was significantly thinner, and there was a dark blue beard shadow on his chin. Watching her busy repeating the same process every day in the kitchen, his eyes were extremely gloomy.

The rice cooker exudes the aroma of rice. Yin Xiamo washed and washed the chicken wings, turned on the fire, and stood by the stove carefully stir frying and stewing.The thick soup was tumbling with small bubbles, and when the soup was completely collected, she poured the chicken wings into the plate, smiled and took out another bowl of rice, put it on the tray and walked to the dining table. When she passed by Ou Chen. There was no focus in her eyes, as if there was no one there, she walked over gently like a cloud.Putting the tray on the dining table, the smile on her lips was as gentle as the shadow of a cloud. After setting the dishes and the plate of braised chicken wings, she raised her head and shouted to Xiao Cheng's room with a smile: "Xiao Cheng, it's time to eat!"

The sudden colic in his heart made Ou Chen clenched his fingers tightly. Looking at her sitting at the dining table with a dazed smile, looking at the empty chair she pulled away, looking at the same braised chicken wings, a bowl of rice and a pair of chopsticks on the table every day, even though he has long been used to her These actions, but the severe pain in my heart became stronger day by day. "……Is it tasty?" She gazed tenderly at the transparent sunlight on the empty chair at noon. "...Eat more if it tastes good." She put a piece of braised chicken wings into Xiao Cheng's bowl, smiled contentedly, her eyes were soft and gentle, as if seeing him eating happily was the happiest thing.

"...Do you still remember that our mother taught us how to make chicken wings." She tilted her head, recalled with a smile, and put another piece of chicken wing into the bowl. Blanch the chicken wings and take them out, you can’t start frying them directly, otherwise it won’t be easy to cook…” "...then put a little oil in the frying pan, then put a little sugar, pour the chicken wings into it and stir fry..." She said and laughed, "The first time I made it, I put the chicken wings until the sugar was burnt , the whole thing was muddy, but you still said it was delicious... You were lying to me at that time, right..."

"..." "..." The bright sunshine, her soft whispers floated gently in the room, the scenery of early spring was already outside the window, and the black cat lay silently on the window sill, licking and drinking milk.There were more and more chicken wings on the bowl of rice, and gradually she couldn't put it down anymore, so she stopped her chopsticks in a daze. Then, she fell silent. The gentle light in her eyes was extinguished bit by bit, she sat blankly, staring blankly at the bowl full of chicken wings and the transparent sunlight on the empty chair.There was no expression on her face, as if she was thoughtless, and if no one disturbed her, she could just sit like this forever.

"Eat a little too, okay?" A man's hand carefully spooned a mouthful of rice to her lips as he scooped up a little soup from the plate of braised chicken wings and mixed it into the freshly served rice. "Just eat a little bit, okay?" There was more tenderness and pampering in the voice, the spoon got closer to her lips, and Ou Chen tried to make her eat something, even if it was just a little bit.From the period of coma before Xiaocheng's death, she almost didn't eat anything, and during this period, she almost didn't eat a drop of water or rice. "Xia Mo……"

Seeing her sluggishly closed lips, the painful sense of powerlessness and fear gripped Ou Chen's whole body again. He couldn't help but embrace her who was just like a puppet, closed his eyes, and whispered hoarsely in her ear. Bian said: "Xia Mo, I know that Xiao Cheng is your closest relative, you love him more than your life. But, you are not the only relative, I am your husband, and I am also your relative." In his arms, her eyes stared blankly ahead without focus, her pupils were big and deep, empty and soulless, her body was so thin that only bones remained, as if her flesh and blood were also dissipating bit by bit .

"Even if I beg you..." Ou Chen's arms hugged her tightly, wishing he could inject his life into her body. "... just eat a little, okay?" As if hearing the pain in his voice, her body seemed not so stiff, Ou Chen let go of her breathlessly, and brought the small spoon of rice close to her lips again.Her pale and chapped lips were still closed dumbly, he made up his mind, and with a little force from the spoon, he squeezed her jaw open and fed it in. Watching her swallow the rice dumbly, Ou Chen's eyes lit up immediately, he gently wiped the corners of her lips with a paper towel, scooped out another small spoonful of rice, this time specially put a little chicken on it, he will Xiao Shao approached her and said softly, "That's it, eat a little more..."

At this moment, her face became extremely pale, and there was a "cluck" sound in her chest, then she turned her face away, opened her mouth, and with a "arc ─", she began to vomit violently! She vomited out the mouthful of rice she had just eaten. She leaned over and continued to gag. Vomiting profusely, her face was like gold paper, her whole body was covered with cold sweat, and all the vomit was clear water. "Xia Mo!" Ou Chen hugged her tightly in shock, feeling her whole body was cold and shivering, and the vomiting seemed to want to vomit out all her internal organs.But there was no painful expression on her face, and even the vomiting was dazed and dull. This kind of calm made the fear and helplessness in his heart more and more intense.

Her body seemed to have lost the basic function of eating. No matter what kind of food was prepared for her, no matter how coaxed and forced to eat, she would always stare blankly ahead. If she was forced to eat, she would vomit again and again. She was terribly emaciated. And she kept her eyes open all day and all night, as if her body didn't need sleep anymore.She fell asleep only when the doctor gave her a sleeping pill.It was only by infusing her with some nutrient solution when she was lethargic to maintain her body. "Unfortunately, my beloved brother passed away early, Yin Xiamo was heartbroken! "

On this day, the newsstands in the streets and alleys put the Orange Daily in the most eye-catching position. This blockbuster news in red immediately attracted the attention of countless passers-by! Ever since Yin Xiamo faded out of the entertainment industry and married into a wealthy family, she has gradually fallen out of the public eye.Although the paparazzi wanted to find out about her life after marrying into a wealthy family, the Ou Group protected her extremely well, and the reporters couldn't get close to her at all, and they had to give up after a long time. Fortunately, there are new people in the entertainment industry emerging one after another, with fresh faces and fresh gossip, entertainment reporters and the public have gradually forgotten about her.It wasn't until this news came out that Yin Xiamo reappeared in people's sights! Hua Jin, a reporter from the Orange Daily, revealed that Yin Xiamo's younger brother, Yin Cheng, had passed away half a month ago at the age of twenty.Yin Xiamo and her younger siblings are deeply in love with each other, unable to accept this blow, she appears in a trance. Hua Jin disclosed at the same time that according to reliable sources, Yin Xiamo married Ou Chen, the young director of the Ou family, not because of Ou's prominent family background, but because his younger brother Yin Cheng was in urgent need of kidney replacement surgery at that time, and only Ou Chen's kidney happened to be his. The fit is right.This marriage is nothing more than a kidney exchange transaction. This news was like throwing a boulder into the water, and the public opinion was in an uproar in an instant!Regarding Yin Xiamo's current mental state after losing his younger brother, and the inside story of Yin Xiamo's marriage to a wealthy family, they suddenly became the focus of public discussion! Various media have sent reporters to follow the news. The Ou Zhai villa where Yin Xiamo lived after marriage was surrounded by reporters. The hospital reporters mentioned in Huajin's report did not let go, chasing doctors who might know Nurses and even cleaners snoop in for messages. After several days of inquiring, the death of Yin Xiamo's younger brother Yin Cheng was definitely confirmed. Although the hospital was vague about Ou Chen's kidney transplant for Yin Cheng, according to the "judgment" of entertainment reporters, Hua Jin's report should be Is the truth. As for Yin Xiamo's current situation, it was impossible to confirm whether she had a mental breakdown or not.Entertainment reporters from various media squatted around Ou Zhai's villa for several days and nights, but they didn't see Yin Xiamo coming in or out, nor could they take any photos of her.The entertainment reporters repeatedly called Yin Xiamo and his manager's mobile phones, but they were all turned off. "What is Xia Mo's situation now?" Only a few close people knew about the phone number at Jane's home.Yao Shu'er and Zeni called just now, and within a few minutes of putting down the phone, Pan Nan also called.Hearing Pan Nan's anxious voice coming from the microphone, Zhen En didn't know how to answer, Xia Mo... Xia Mo, she... "Yin Cheng..." Hearing no response, Pan Nan's voice froze for a moment, and asked in a hoarse voice, "...is he really dead?" Zhen En's hands trembled, and there were bursts of trembling pain in her heart. Before she knew it, Xiao Cheng had been gone for nearly a month, but every time she mentioned it, the scar seemed to bleed out blood that would never coagulate. "……yes." Restraining the trembling of her throat, Jane tried her best to speak in a calm voice, but looking at the painting that Xiao Cheng drew for her on the bedroom wall before her death, her eye circles still turned red involuntarily. "...Then Xia Mo... Xia Mo, she..." Pan Nan's worried and concerned voice came from the microphone, and Zhen En felt another pain in her heart. Thinking of Xia Mo's figure sitting by the window every day, thinking of Xia Mo's appearance that was already as thin as a piece of paper, her Tears flowed down sadly.She promised that Xiao Cheng would take good care of Xia Mo, but now Xia Mo... "Is she in a bad situation?" As if hearing her crying, Pan Nan asked eagerly, "Where is she now? I'm going to see her!" "no……" Zhen En looked at Xiao Cheng's profile in the oil painting, and said in a low voice: "...Xia Mo doesn't recognize anyone anymore, and she thought... Xiao Cheng is still alive..." at the same time. Jie Ni looked at the contents of the newspaper in shock. She kept calling Yin Xiamo's cell phone in her hand, but all she heard was "Sorry, the phone you dialed has been turned off".After hesitating for a moment, she pressed a series of numbers again. So far away in New York. The phone in Luo Xi's apartment rang. The wind outside the window is very strong. spring is coming. Downstairs in the distance, willows are sprouting, the grass in the lawn is getting greener day by day, and the Xia Mo that Jane sees every day is the same.Every day, Xia Mo calmly cooks rice and braised chicken wings in braised sauce in the kitchen, calls Xiaocheng out to eat, and puts the chicken wings on the bowl until he can't put it down anymore. After that, Xia Mo starts to be in a daze all day long. If there is a difference, it is that she is getting thinner and thinner, to the point of frighteningly thin, as thin as a wisp of flying smoke, which will disappear into the air with a slight blow. Ou Chen invited some psychiatrists. However, no matter how patiently the psychiatrist tried to explain and guide her to talk, she still sat there numbly, as if she could neither hear nor see. Her space was separated from the outside world by a thick wall. "She can't do this anymore!" Looking at Xia Mo's eyes as dark and empty as the night, and seeing Xia Mo's wrists so thin and bony without a trace of flesh, Zhen En said tremblingly: "She must wake up, She's going to die like this!" she will die... The sauce from making braised chicken wings splashed on her fingers, and Ou Chen froze in the act of gently wiping her fingers with a warm towel.Her coldness was as light as boneless, looking at her dazed look, a chill chill froze the bottom of his heart. she…… will die... "Xiao Cheng has already left!" Zhen En took her by the shoulders and cried sadly: "Xiao Cheng... is dead! You know how much Xiao Cheng loves you! You know how you are now, how sad Xiao Cheng will be if he knows! Xia Mo , can you wake up! Xiaocheng died, I know you are very sad, but you still have to live!" Yin Xiamo was forced to face Zhen En in a daze. Her eyes were dull and empty, and there was a kind of unusual calm, as if there was no sorrow or joy anymore. "Did you hear what I said, Xia Mo? Xiaocheng is dead! Already dead! That day in the hospital, when the doctor announced that his treatment was invalid, he was already dead! He never said he wanted to eat chicken wings, he didn't I said anything to you, and when you walked to his bedside, he was already dead!" Zhen En yelled at her with tears streaming down her cheeks, wanting to call back her will, even if waking her up would cause her pain again, she couldn't just watch her die slowly like this! The sun was shining brightly outside the window. Yin Xiamo slowly turned her head away. She was fascinated by the white gauze curtain blown by the wind. The sun shone gently in the transparent gauze curtain. Her eyeballs were motionless, and her body was also motionless. Jane's voice gradually faded away. It's as if no matter how you shout, you won't get any echo. She just sat quietly, sitting from day to night, and then from night to dawn, letting Ou Chen stay by her side all day and night, letting Zhen En keep trying various methods, she just kept silent sitting by the living room window. But on this day, Yin Xiamo, who was as dull as a puppet, suddenly searched frantically in the refrigerator. Throw out everything in it! "Chicken wings..." "Chicken wings..." She rummaged around blankly, her eyes full of anxiety. "what have you done?!" Ou Chen looked at Zhen En angrily. In the morning, he saw Zhen En busy in front of the refrigerator, which originally stored enough chicken wings for Xia Mo to make for many days. "I took the chicken wings away. You see, this is useful, right? She has a little reaction! This is a good sign, isn't it?" As if to cheer herself up, Zhen En tried to take a few deep breaths, walked over to Xia Mo who was already frozen in anxiety, and tried to wake her up again. "Xia Mo, don't make chicken wings anymore, Xiao Cheng can't eat... Xiao Cheng is dead... People in the kingdom of heaven can't eat anything from the world..." Is it useful... Looking at Xia Mo's back standing blankly in front of the refrigerator, the long and black shadow slantingly reflected on the ground, the black hole of despair in Ou Chen's heart is getting bigger and bigger, this despair and fear surpassed the past! If he still had hatred and jealousy in his despair before, and wanted to fight for something more by all means, but now, watching her life go by bit by bit, watching her eyes become so empty He also has no soul. This kind of despair makes him willing to exchange everything in the world.Even if he used all his property and status, even if he used his life, even if he left her side forever... If there is a God, he wants God to know that he is willing to trade everything!When he finally had her, when she would never leave him, he understood that all the love for her selfish possession could not compare to her living happily. "Chicken wings..." "Chicken wings..." The anxiety and panic on his face became more and more obvious. Yin Xiamo pushed away Zhen En, who kept talking to her, and walked towards the door with vain steps, muttering in his mouth: "Xiao Cheng, you are very hungry, aren't you?" ..." "Wait a minute...my sister is going to the market to buy chicken wings..." "Xia Mo! Have you heard what I'm saying! I'm saying, Xiao Cheng is dead! Even if you cook chicken wings every day, he won't be able to eat them! Xia Mo, I beg you, please wake up! " Jane held her tightly, sadness and guilt made her tears come to an end again. "Xia Mo, you have always been so strong, you are not afraid of anything, you are as strong as a big tree! Can you wake up! Xiao Cheng is gone, but you still have Ou Chen, you still have me! I swear, I will always take care of you like Xiao Cheng and stay with you forever! Please, Xia Mo, please don't do this!" But Yin Xiamo didn't hear anything. She muttered to herself, pushed the crying Zhen En away, and walked towards the gate. When Ou Chen caught up with her and was about to stop her, there was a "wow", she had already opened the gate! There was a man standing at the door. The man stared at her blankly, as if he still had the smell of the plane on his body, his hair was longer and his face was thinner, but his eyes were still like black jade, and his lips were like cherry blossoms.He stared at her deeply, but as he watched, the sea-like longing in his eyes gradually turned into shock and pity. Ou Chen was stunned. Looking at Luo Xi, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, and seeing the strong and still strong feelings for her in Luo Xi's eyes, in mid-air, the hand he wanted to hold Xia Mo froze, and slowly let it go. "Chicken wings..." Yin Xiamo looked blankly at the figure blocking her out of focus, and unconsciously stretched out her hand to push him away. She wanted to go to the market to buy chicken wings and cook them for Xiao Cheng. "Xia Mo, you can't go out!" Zhen En woke up from the shock of seeing Luo Xi suddenly, she didn't care to greet him, she quickly grabbed Xia Mo from behind who was trying to push Luo Xi away, and shouted anxiously.Now all the media are full of news and reports that speculate whether Xia Mo is mentally normal. If she goes out and is encountered by reporters, the reporters will definitely surround her like a wolf preying on her! "Chicken wings!..." "Chicken wings!..." Still unable to get rid of Zhen En's hands, Yin Xiamo's face showed an anxious and frantic expression, her breathing became rapid, and she began to struggle desperately, struggling hard! "Okay! I'll give it to you! I hid the chicken wings, and I'll take them out right away. Don't go out..." Zhen En cried and finally announced her surrender.Xiao Cheng, she failed again, she was too stupid, she failed to take good care of Xia Mo, failed to do what she promised him. The midday sun shines in the small kitchen. The transparent water flowed quietly from the faucet, and Yin Xiamo's face returned to calm. She carefully cleaned the chicken wings repeatedly, scrubbing every inch of the chicken wings with her fingers.Whenever she finished washing a piece, a slender hand would take it over, carefully blot the moisture on its surface with a clean towel, and then put it neatly on the plate. Pour a little oil into the pot, she turned on the fire, and stared blankly at the oil gradually heating up.The person beside her carefully put on a pair of cotton cooking gloves for her, and then put an uncapped white sugar pot in front of her, and she dug a spoonful of sugar into the pot in a daze. The white sugar melted into small bubbles. The man's slender hand pulled her away a little, and poured a plate of chicken wings into the pot. There was a "cracking" sound in the pot. Handed her the shovel. She looked at him blankly. She turned her head blankly again, her pupils filled with emptiness, and she slowly flipped the chicken wings in the pan, watching them slowly turn golden, took the soy sauce from the man, took the chicken wings from the man, The cold kettle, the soup in the pot tumbling out a strong smell, permeating the air in the kitchen. Looking at Luo Xi standing side by side with her, the brilliant sunlight outlines the profile of the two into a beautiful golden color, there is an indescribable tacit understanding between her and Luo Xi, it seems that Luo Xi can detect every inch of her thought. He stared at the two in silence. Ou Chen's back was straight and lonely. Zhen En looked uneasily at Luo Xi who was cooking with Xia Mo, and at Ou Chen uneasily. Luo Xi became thinner, and in the enchanting youthful beauty of the past, she became more masculine.There is no longer a smile that is not a smile on his lips, but firmness and fortitude are revealed in his eyes that are as dark as a deep pool. Ou Chen also lost a lot of weight. Although his expression is still indifferent and arrogant, although his back is always straight, his eyes are dark and painful, and the beard and bruises on his cheeks have not been trimmed for many days.He looked sadly at Xia Mo and Luo Xi, which made Zhen En startled, as if he had already made some kind of decision. "Xiao Cheng, it's time to eat." Yin Xiamo placed the bowls, chopsticks and braised chicken wings on the dining table, and called out softly to Xiao Cheng's bedroom, and then she sat there and waited quietly, waiting for Xiao Cheng to come out and sit on the empty chair that had been pulled out. Waited for a long time. The bedroom door remained silently closed. No one came out. No one sat in front of her. Dazed, she didn't mutter to herself to the empty chair as usual, but silently put one piece of chicken wing and another piece of chicken wing into Xiaocheng's bowl.There was no more room in the bowl, and the last piece of chicken wing almost slipped off the top, and a pair of chopsticks caught it just in time. "Maybe Xiaocheng is tired and wants to eat in the room. I'll bring him the food, okay?" Luo Xi carefully rearranged the chicken wing and said softly to her. Yin Xiamo raised her head slowly, as if trying to understand what he was saying. long time── She nodded blankly. Jane covered her mouth in surprise! For the first time in such a long time, she saw that Xia Mo had a little reaction to the outside world, although the basis of this reaction was based on coaxing. After that, Yin Xiamo seemed to have finished her day's work.She began to sit in front of the window of the living room in a daze again, looking out of the window without moving her eyes, silently lost in thought, not knowing what she was thinking, and occasionally a slight smile appeared on the corner of her lips. Luo Xi sat beside her quietly. Did not bother her. No attempt was made to speak to her either. He knew that Xiaocheng was her life, and in her world, Xiaocheng was her only center of gravity.Maybe Xiaocheng is sick, maybe it seems that she has been supporting Xiaocheng, but while supporting Xiaocheng, Xiaocheng has also become the pillar of her life. He knows that feeling. The desperation and emptiness in which the whole world collapses will take out the soul of a person and make him numb to the point of being unconscious. The noon sun slowly turned into afternoon light, and the wind blowing in from the window gently blows the long hair on her cheeks.When the evening rosy clouds shone into the living room, Luo Xi gently covered her body with a cotton blanket, then gave her a final deep look, and stood up. "In the future, can I come and see her?" On the way to the gate, Luo Xi paused and stopped in front of Ou Chen.Ou Chen looked at Xia Mo who was sitting in front of the window, looked at her unusually peaceful face, and replied in a low voice: "If you can bring her back to life, I will be the one who leaves." So from that day on, Luo Xi often came here. Sometimes he would buy the freshest chicken wings from the market, sometimes he would bring a tank of goldfish, sometimes he would sit in front of Xia Mo and sing songs all afternoon, singing "Black Cat and Milk", singing "Diamond", singing "Foam Mermaid", she sat in a daze, and he sang softly. And her situation is no longer any progress. As if her soul had dissipated, she was dazed and did not respond to the outside world at all. She did not eat or drink, kept her eyes open for 24 hours, did not sleep day and night, and continued to lose weight day by day. Anxious Zhen En received a sudden phone call, Zeni told her that director Wu kindly invited Xia Mo to audition for a movie.Zhen En was going to refuse immediately, how could Xia Mo make a movie in the current situation, Zeni told her that he thinks this matter can be considered. Although Zhen En has not been in the showbiz for a long time, even for outsiders, Director Wu's name is very respectable.Director Wu is one of the best directors in China. He always pays attention to the quality of the film. What's more, he perfectly combines the artistry and commerciality of the film. He has won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film and has been nominated many times. It is the dream of every star in the domestic showbiz to be able to act in director Wu's film. It not only means the opportunity to enter the international film world, but also a recognition of one's own acting skills.Director Wu's film this year is a big-budget film to participate in the Golden Deer Film Festival. It is funded by the Xia Group under Boss Xia's name. However, the selection of actors is not limited to stars under the Star Brokerage Company. range to select.Long before Xia Mo got married, who would star in the film was already a hot topic in the entertainment industry. Many famous movie stars from Korea and Japan also made a special trip to meet Director Wu. Cai Ni said that director Wu didn't consider Yin Xiamo at first, but the news about Yin Xiamo's loss of his younger brother caused him to be in a trance a few days ago that caught his attention. Director Wu thought that Yin Xiamo's current state might be one of the best candidates to play the heroine of the film .Because this film tells the story of two siblings who depend on each other for life, what happens after the younger brother dies. "Maybe this movie can touch her and stimulate her to come out of the pain of losing a loved one?" On the phone, Zeni's words made Jane startled, and then stared blankly at the living room window. Xia Mo hesitated. Now Yin Xiamo is terribly thin. Her already thin body had lost more than 30 kilograms, her wrists and ankles could clearly see the bones, her eyes were surprisingly large, dazed and hollow, and her skin was so pale that there was no blood in it.When she sat in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows with fluttering screens, the wind seemed to be able to blow her away lightly. She is ignorant. Except for the time of making braised chicken wings, she just sat there and looked out of the window every day, as if she was just waiting to use up the last bit of life in her body. "We must find a way to wake her up." In the afternoon, the doctor put away the injection equipment, took another look at Yin Xiamo, who was in a daze, and said to Ou Chen solemnly: "Her will is too negative, if she only relies on injecting nutrient solution every day, it will hurt her in the long run." Serious bodily harm." wake her up... In the evening, Ou Chen scooped up the apple juice he squeezed with a small spoon, gently approached her lips, and said hoarsely, "Eat something, okay?" She sits like a puppet. "Hey, eat a little." He held his breath and put the small spoon into her mouth, watching her drink the apple juice blankly, the soft sunset was outside the window, his voice was slightly nervous. "Eat it, don't spit it out, Xia Mo..." "Arc ─" She vomited profusely, spewing watery filth all over herself. wake her up... Ou Chen helped her take off her soiled coat, and wiped her face and hands with a warm towel.In the bathroom, he silently washed her clothes, washing them with soap over and over again, and the light soap suds filled the laundry tub. In the bathroom mirror. His face was haggard and sad. wake her up... In the middle of the night, she looked at the night outside the window, her body still maintained the same posture, the black cat meowed and circled around her feet, her eyes stared blankly at the dark night without focus. Ou Chen looked at her sadly. Suddenly, he stretched out his hand and pulled her up from the chair. Her body was so light that with just a slight pull, she fell outwards.He supported her, hugged her paper-thin body with both arms, and walked towards Yin Cheng's bedroom! The bedroom door opens. Yin Cheng's bedroom is still as clean and tidy as before, and there seems to be his breath in the room, as if he is leaning on the bed and drawing, the moment the door opens, he will raise his head, show a happy smile, and Shout to her: "Sister---" Yin Xiamo stared blankly at the empty bed, she seemed to be in a daze, as if she couldn't figure out why it was so late and Xiao Cheng wasn't at home. Ou Chen felt that her body was slowly getting colder and stiffer, and he felt pain in his heart, so he subconsciously hugged her tighter with both arms.However, it was only a few seconds before he forced himself to be ruthless and put her on Xiaocheng's bed. The room is filled with Yin Cheng's previous paintings. There are oil paintings, watercolor paintings, and sketches. Some paintings were drawn by Yin Cheng a long time ago, and some were drawn by Yin Cheng in the ward when he was hospitalized. Most of the paintings are placed in exquisite frames, and some are just simple. A piece of drawing paper, with paintings of various sizes, large and small, neatly stacked in every corner of the room.All these paintings were sorted out by Ou Chen, and they were originally planned to be exhibited in Yin Cheng's solo exhibition. After Yin Cheng passed away, her memory seemed to stay in the past, instead of returning to the Ou Zhai after marriage, she came here, so these paintings followed her back to Yin Cheng's former room. "Remember this painting?" A small painting, the picture is childish and simple, a little girl with long hair holds a little boy by the hand, and smiles at the boy with her head up. The painting seems to be summer, with a big red sun and floating in the air colorful bubbles. The picture frame inlaid with this picture is slightly old. Ou Chen touched it with his fingers and recalled: "This was painted when Xiao Cheng was seven years old. I thought he was a little afraid of me and didn't like me being with you." Together, but on my birthday, he gave me this painting." Yin Xiamo stared blankly at the painting. "These are also drawn by Xiao Cheng." Ou Chen slowly picked up the paintings one by one and put them in front of her. There was her in each painting, from the young one to the growing one, some were reading a book, some were walking on the street. On the boulevard, some she entertained guests in the bakery, and some she cooked in the kitchen. Those paintings are like photos, recording her changes from childhood to adulthood, from being innocent when she was young to becoming calmer and calmer. "Have you noticed..." Ou Chen stared at each of the girls in the painting, and said in a low voice: "...No matter in which painting, you are always smiling in Xiaocheng's painting, the smile is so bright, it seems that you have no worries, and live a simple and happy life. " Painting one by one. The golden sunlight falling from the drunken red leaves was the scene where she called him to eat with Xiaocheng under the maple tree. While holding Xiaocheng's arm, she turned her head and said something to Ou Chen with a smile. In the ward, the rhododendrons on the window sill were in full bloom. She held a watering can and turned her head to smile. With a few strokes of charcoal pencils, a penetrating smile bloomed on her face. She is sitting by the sea... She in the flowers... She is swinging on the swing... In each of Xiao Cheng's paintings── She is so beautiful that people are blindingly beautiful. Because of all those she is smiling, smiling, laughing, laughing happily, that smile from the corner of her lips to the bottom of her eyes, like a flower blooming in the sun. "What Xiaocheng wants to see most is your smile." Ou Chen gently hugged her into his arms with a throbbing heart, "If he can see you in heaven, he must want to see you live happily, I want to see the smile on your lips." Her body was dumbfounded and stiff. Looking at the paintings without blinking, she seemed to be frozen. She was frozen for a long time, and her body became colder and colder. "Xia Mo, wake up..." He hugged her tightly with his warm body, trying to warm her cold. "Xiao Cheng is dead..." "Xiao Cheng is dead..." In the dark night, Ou Chen hugged her tightly and spoke to her sentence by sentence.Wake her up, how to wake her up, if he can wake her up by revealing that cruel reality bloody in front of her again, even if it is too cruel, he will choose to do that. But…… Does she really not know? Or she always knew in her subconscious that she couldn't stand her weakness and the pain of losing Xiao Cheng, so she closed herself up deeply.If she is awakened, will she be reborn, or will she be completely destroyed?It's just that if she is allowed to remain isolated like this, there will only be one result. "Xiao Cheng is dead..." She stared blankly at the paintings all over the bed and the floor, the colorful colors in the paintings, and every one of herself smiling or laughing or laughing in the paintings, those words echoed endlessly like a nightmare.Her body gradually changed from cold to stiff, and then from stiff to trembling. Slightly. Her lips seemed to move. Then she stood up blankly, left Ou Chen's arms, and walked out of Xiaocheng's bedroom. The window in the living room was wide open, and the window screen was blown violently by the night wind. Instead of sitting in a chair like before, she leaned against Sitting curled up on the ground against the wall. Her body curled up like a boiled shrimp. trembling constantly.
