Chapter 45 Chapter Forty-Five

When he went to Hong Kong, he left everything related to her in Shanghai.It was only after many days that I accidentally discovered that this handkerchief was stuffed in the innermost part of the luggage.Did he let it go?He didn't remember it, but treasured it ever since. When he returned to Shanghai in 1997, he met her who had become demented.He went back to the hotel in a daze that night, took out the handkerchief and looked at it again, and was shocked for the first time to find that at the bottom right of his name, she had also embroidered a small "h" with pink silk thread, because it was a fancy He actually thought that it was just a small flower.

That is not Xiaohua, but her most humble love. This discovery made him cry in the hotel room. Compared with the pain he felt at that time, Li Weilian is much calmer today. His tears today are for relief. This is not only his relief, but also her relief. . They've finally come to an end. A figure appeared in front of the door at the back of the shop. Li Weilian folded his handkerchiefs and put them away. After staying in the dark and silent shop for so long, he has completely adapted to the environment.He nodded to the figure: "It's you, please come and sit down, we should have a good talk."

The man seemed to be hesitant, Li Weilian smiled coldly: "Let's turn on the light, and be careful not to trip." "Pa", with a very slight sound, on the wall closest to Li Weilian, the old-fashioned wall lamp with a translucent marble lampshade on a bronze bracket emits a dim yellow light, which just illuminates the limited space of one meter square around him. The man walked through the dark shop into this small halo of light. "You two sisters do look very similar," Li Weilian said while watching her, "But now, even in the dark, I will never admit my mistake. Do you know why?"

She stood at the table without speaking.Li Weilian slightly raised his face to look at her, his face was pale and ghostly under the dim light, and his red and swollen eyes were stained with tears. A playful smile appeared on Li Weilian's lips, and he said slowly: "Don't you know? Let me tell you, the smell of the two of you is different. The smell on Wen Yue's body is clear and light, a bit like a green apple, while As for you, you exude a sour smell, like a rotten apple!" "You!" Qiu Wenxin's face became even more bleak with anger, Li Weilian simply leaned back in the chair, admiring her resentment with great interest.

She countered with a trembling and dry voice: "You, why don't you stay on top? What are you doing running down?! You want to run away at this time, don't you?" The smile on Li Weilian's lips grew stronger: "I've been guarding for a day and a night, what's the matter? Are you still going to let me go?" "You, you can still laugh! How can you be worthy of your mother who just passed away!" His face changed suddenly, and he burst out with intense sadness and anger: "I accompanied her to the last breath, not only worthy of her, but also worthy of my own conscience! Whether I am by her side now has no meaning to her at all. Hmph , In fact, it’s meaningless a long time ago... Let me advise you, Qiu Wenxin, don’t bring up your mother all the time, unless you have no respect for her as a daughter at all!”

Qiu Wenxin was speechless, just stood in front of the table, his chest heaving and falling.Li Weilian raised his hand to her: "Sit down, you're not tired, I'm tired of looking at you like this. We have a lot to talk about tonight, and we can't finish it in a while." "I, I have nothing to talk to you about. I have to go upstairs..." "No, it's fine if Wen Yue is with you upstairs. Sit down!" He only slightly raised his voice, and the invisible majesty was enough to shake Qiu Wenxin's whole body, and he sat down opposite him involuntarily. Now that the light was directly shining on her face, Li Weilian looked at her carefully for a while, and then said: "You not only look alike to each other, but also a lot like your mother. When you get older, you will be even more alike... just like in my memory Her appearance." At this point, his throat choked, and then he resumed his indifferent tone: "However, these are just appearances, you are completely different women."

"What are you trying to say?" She asked impatiently. Li Weilian stared into Qiu Wenxin's eyes: "Tell me how I distinguish you from Wen Yue." "What...what can I say? Didn't you already..." "Qiu Wenxin," Li Weilian interrupted her, "When did we first meet? Do you remember?" Qiu Wenxin glanced at him timidly, but did not answer. The sound of the rain under the eaves is getting slower and slower, probably because the accumulated water is about to run out.It was the darkest time before dawn, and even the car lights from the windows were almost gone, only a small ball of dark yellow light like a will-o'-the-wisp shrouded them. This atmosphere can be regarded as the special effect of antique furniture.

Li Weilian remained silent, as if waiting for Qiu Wenxin to answer his question.And she was getting more and more uneasy under the sharp gaze from the opposite side. "I came here for the first time after returning to Shanghai in 1997. There was still a clothing store on the ground floor. When I went upstairs to find someone, the first person I met was not Wen Yue, but you. Right?" Li Weilian's narration was very gentle, but it evoked frightening echoes in the gloomy shop. The gray curtain of the past was torn apart bit by bit, and the hideous and terrifying true face gradually revealed...

"I remember very clearly that we were both stunned at first. At that moment, I really felt sad and happy, and my emotions were beyond words. Then I took the initiative to say hello to you. I remember I said——Wen Yue ,Hello." He stopped again and stared at Qiu Wenxin. She was already on pins and needles, her eyes full of fear. "My greeting seems to have frightened you greatly. You turned around and ran, shouting: 'Wen Yue, it's him, it's him!' Just when I couldn't figure it out, Wen Yue screamed and ran away. She came downstairs, threw herself on me and cried loudly. I managed to calm her down, and she told me what happened after I left Shanghai, and led me upstairs to see Hui..."

Li Weilian closed his eyes, and opened them after a while. There was no more grief, only the coldest light: "At that time, I was really not in the mood to think about anything else, but after I returned to normal, I felt extremely disgusted with your behavior. Big question. What's more interesting is that Wen Yue didn't think to introduce you to me. Why did this happen? Didn't you and I meet for the first time in 1997? You twin sisters have always been friends with my classmates in Huahai Middle School Qiu Wenyue, and you came to Shanghai from the countryside to take care of your mother after she committed suicide, why did you seem to know who I am when you first met me?!"

Qiu Wenxin clenched his teeth, bowed his head without saying a word. "Wen Yue is a woman without a brain, but she is very tight-lipped when it comes to this question. Of course, I didn't ask too much, I don't want to make you feel uneasy, after all...you and your mother, They are all people I want to treat kindly. Besides, I am confident that I can find out the truth by myself. In order to achieve this goal, I must also let you, especially you, not be wary of me." Li Weilian leaned forward, and that disdainful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth again: "I gradually discovered that the most effective way to identify two very similar twins is to be with them at the same time as much as possible , comparing all the similarities and dissimilarities between them. I did this, and I have completely distinguished the two of you. From looks to smell, from head to toe, from outside to inside..." "Qiu Wenxin, do you know how much I hate you?" Qiu Wenxin stared at Li Weilian in horror, as if he wanted to get up and run away, but he didn't have the guts. "No, it's not important." Li Weilian shook his head slowly, "The important thing is that I can finally confirm that I didn't meet you for the first time in 1997, but many years ago! Qiu Wenxin, you and I It's an old acquaintance, right? It's just that just as I hate you, you also hate me, more precisely, you hate me!" "As for when you replaced Wenyue, I can't recall clearly. But there are indeed several times when I saw 'Wenyue' here, I was very confused. Although the appearance and clothes are her, But the demeanor and demeanor are completely different. Several years later, when I know everything about the two of you, I can say with certainty that that person is not Wen Yue at all, but you! During the winter and summer vacations, I completely understood. Qiu Wenxin, your mother must not be willing to leave you alone in the country, and took you to Shanghai to play during the holidays. You basically never go out after you come, because A country girl can't adapt to the Shanghai environment at all. So you stayed at home from morning to night wearing your sister's clothes, and saw me coming in and out of your house. You asked Wen Yue about my situation, and she probably advised you not to meddle in my own business. Have you questioned your mother? Not necessarily... You are a sinister and scheming person, and you never express your opinions openly!" "You're talking nonsense!" Qiu Wenxin yelled hysterically. "Shut up!" Li Weilian let out a low voice, which immediately discouraged her.His face was distorted with gnashing of teeth and hatred, "Don't rush to shout, I haven't finished yet! You—Qiu Wenxin, although you dare not express your disgust to your mother or even to me frankly, you have been spying on us secretly , and while your sister was not at home, deliberately ran to me to test me, confused me, thought it was Wen Yue's pretentiousness, but never suspected anything else. If it's just that, it's fine, but Your heart is too vicious, you hate the relationship between me and your mother, and you deliberately want to take revenge on us!" He stared at Qiu Wenxin tightly, and said word by word: "So when I was facing the critical moment of the college entrance examination, you wrote an anonymous letter to the principal of Huahai Middle School, suing your mother and me together!"
