On the thirteenth day of the lunar calendar, aheng received a phone call when he was sorting out the sundries at home.
The telephone came from a strange voice. He said that he and ah Heng had several ties, and he wanted to give her the same thing as Yan Xi.
Who is ah Heng.
He said his surname was Chen, and he knew Yan Xi in the old days.
Ah Heng suddenly remembered who this man was. Secretary of the Lu family, Yan Xi is afraid of people.
Lin Ruo Mei was replaced by Lu Liu two years ago, and Lu''s family name was Lu. As for the Wen family, shares in them, but I do not know how much.
She asked him where to go, Xiao Chen said an address, ah Heng then wrote on the note paper, clip in the telephone book, in case of accident. Later, he worried that Yan Xi was involved in it. He tore up the paper and prepared to send a message to relatives and friends. However, he was at a loss. Because of Lu Liu, she has no one to trust. Her relatives and friends are also Lu Liu''s relatives and friends. Why bother others.
Ah Heng sighed and went to the meeting alone.
She took No. 122 bus, and then turned to 159, 173, winding around for a long time before arriving at the destination.
There are many high-rise buildings here, once a very prosperous commercial center, but somehow, with the changes of the city, it gradually withered up. Secretary Chen''s place is a high-rise building in the complex, next to the fountain on the square. He said he was waiting for ah Heng on the top floor.
When aheng reached the top, he was startled. The top floor was a vast open space, separated by a heavy red rust iron door, which must have been locked before, but now it is gently covered and opened. Surrounded by Trojans, slides, and four-wheel drive lanes, it is clearly a paradise for urchins. Only in the corner, a few pots of withered Roselle hung low, huge and pitiful.
In the past few times, Secretary Chen was wearing glasses, a straight suit and a gentle face, but now he is wearing a cowboy jacket and sitting quietly on the ground, staring at the dusty toys and holding a can of beer in his hand.
Seeing ah Heng coming, he nodded slightly and took out a palm sized red four-wheel drive vehicle from his wide jeans coat. The car was exquisite in workmanship, carefully collected and well maintained. In the sun, it was full of warm light reflected by thick paint color.
He handed it to aheng, who was stunned.
Secretary Chen chuckled: "Yan Xi''s childhood toys, left here for so long, should be returned to him."
Ah Heng shakes his head, backs his hand, looks at him suspiciously, and dare not accept it.
Secretary Chen laughed: "what a lovely child, no wonder."
Ah Heng is very direct: "you are a bad man. Yan Xi doesn''t like you. Don''t disturb him in the future."
Secretary Chen''s smile became bitter: "for Yan Xi, I''m really a bad man. But it''s not about the dirty pictures. "
He said: "I gave you this car to tell you and to remind you that the feelings and entanglements between boss and Yanxi are beyond your control. And what I owe Yan Xi, I will take it to the grave and keep it for the next life. "
Ah Heng said, "Lu Liu asked you to come."
Secretary Chen took a sip of beer and nodded. "I''m just a pawn that moves around," he said
Ah Heng squinted: "why didn''t he tell me directly, but let you come?"
Secretary Chen put the little car that ah Heng didn''t pick up gently on the winding and exquisite small lane, and watched it running nonstop. His eyebrows gradually relaxed, careful and gentle. He said, "you took away his most lovely toy. He hated you very much and despised you so much that he would not come by himself. It''s just why I was sent, probably because I was also a participant in Yanxi''s past. I know all about him and luliu. "
Aheng intercepted the red car, put it in the palm of his hand for a closer look, only to find that the paint color was uneven, as if it had been mended later.
Secretary Chen smiles: "it has a story."
"So?"
"So, this is what Lu Liu wants to tell you.
"I''ll tell you all about this incident from the beginning. Miss Wen can tell the right from the wrong.
"The story begins with me. I didn''t have a name. I grew up in an orphanage. I only knew my surname was Chen. Later, I was adopted by the Lu family and was called Xiao Chen. When he was ten years old, he was led away from the orphanage by the Lu family because he had answered several intelligence questions correctly. At first, I thought there would be a complete home, but in fact, it has been used as a chess training.
"Do you know what a chess piece is? It is the kind of people who are usually helpful and can be abandoned at critical moments. I was sent to the best business school with many children of the same age who lived with me only for the sole grandson of the Lu family, Lu Liu. He needs a hard chessboard. In fact, it''s more important than a hard heart
Secretary Chen pauses and smiles. His voice is very light, reminiscent and pleasant: "and I, because of my excellent results, was sent to Lu Liu''s side in advance to talk about his ordinary study life. When Lu Liu was a child, he was a very gentle and kind-hearted child. Well, I feel that Miss Tongwen looks like you. You are white and like a little jade man. You are often called "Lu Xiao Bodhisattva" by the elders."I watched him in secret, and you know, it was not simple for me to come to him. I want to report his every move to Mr. Lu. I want to prevent him from becoming only aware of the beauty of the world, or even being too close to the same person. But he would look at me all the time and say pitifully, "brother, let me play with Yan Xi for a little longer. We will do our homework after we hit the monster." It was the first time I heard Yanxi''s name from him
Ah Heng chuckled: "when Yan Xi was a child, was he as sharp as he is now?"
Secretary Chen waved his hand and fell into deep thinking of memories: "no, no, no, it''s not what it is now. I have never seen a child who loves to laugh so much. He has a baby fat face, a baby head, big eyes, and a heart-shaped mouth. Every time I saw him, he always wore a pair of pink PigHead slippers and a bag of milk hanging from his mouth, and he was running behind luliu.
"He grew up with Lu Liu, two people Because of the same loneliness, so, the relationship has been very good. There is a word - inseparable, often can be confirmed in them.
"I often see them sitting on the carpet playing with transformers, killing villains with game controllers, but unconsciously sleeping in front of their heads. Ah, by the way, Yanxi had a thumb sucking problem when he was a child, probably because he had no mother since he was very young.
"This is for luliu and heel. No one has ever called Yan Xi, right? No, because that''s my exclusive address. I call him Xi''er because he is a child I cherish very much. I used to give him this toy car, which he often put in his pocket. When I called for her, he saluted me seriously. Then he put the car on the track and told me: Sir, everything is ready, please just judge.
"When he competed with Lu Liu, I was the referee. He often lost. He always thought that he was defeated by Lu Liu because of my lack of preference. He mistook me for injustice. But I live for luliu and love her, which is already a kind of injustice.
"For Mr. Lu, I chose to be silent and no longer report actively. Instead, I taught him some business skills, took him to eat the cheapest but really delicious food I had when I was a child, and told him how gentle the world is. Lu Liu is developing in the direction I expect - intimate partner, soft heart. But this is no longer what Lu can tolerate. He was furious and wanted to take back everything I had, including an identity to be with the child.
"Lu Liu cried and begged him, saying that grandfather would not drive his brother away, and he would never dare again. Since then, Lu has changed a lot. He has self-control and endurance. Although his face is gentle, he doesn''t like to talk. He is more and more dependent on me, but he is gradually away from Yanxi.
"At that time, Yan Xi was just in junior high school, and her little child was beginning to grow into a teenager. At that time, it was just like a Pipa half covered, but with a smile and a look, it was clean and beneficial to arouse people''s spirits. He ran around the city with his picture clip, drawing whatever he saw. I have seen him on tiptoe kissing a bright flower growing in the crevice of the city wall. I also saw him sitting in the park with his head bowed, drawing stray kittens. He feeds the kittens, but the kittens are cold and never smile at him. Therefore, after a long time, he understood some of the truth of the world, so he would not see people again and laugh. He said that all the people who love to laugh are fools, and fools will be looked down upon with a hard heart.
"Later, he often went to the places where Lu Liu and I went to eat together. When he came back, he told us seriously:" I''ve eaten your food. It''s too sweet, too sour, too bitter, it''s not delicious, really. "
"Lu Liu looks at him, but he always smiles unintentionally. He is young and vigorous, but he tries to be tolerant or patient with Yanxi''s childishness. He often said to me, "brother, Yan Xi is still too young, isn''t he?" He was eager to announce that he was growing up. He would rather teach me how to eat a complicated and gorgeous European meal than to expose my weak and weak and cry with me.
"However, he and Yanxi are so strikingly similar, sometimes even like the shadow of each other. No one is happy to lose his shadow. It is also very abnormal for Lu Liu.
"He used to say 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, even grandfather could not be separated. But even if he thinks so, his behavior has already shown his dislike and hatred for the naive and ignorant of Yan Xi''s age.
"Yan Xi once loved to sing a song that was made up by Lu Liu. The lyrics said," la la la la la la la la la la la, the sun flower has lost me. Lu Liu said, where am I? Yan Xi sang and answered: sunflower will have you. Others said that Yan hopes to be as bright as sunflower now, but he is just the light itself, never relying on the next light. Land flow like the moon, has been relying on him to draw warmth. He was used to the constant warmth. Lu Liu told me, brother, when I look back, Yan Xi is there. It''s really annoying. "
A look back, Yan Xi wrinkled his face and pretended not to like to smile, so weak, but standing there in the sunshine, really really annoyed.
Secretary Chen hesitated and spoke 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 the bar room during the Spring Festival, and a total of 33 people died."
Aheng tried to recall and remember the tragedy. The flames devoured and burst, wantonly spread, endless melting and baking, and tragic crying, which she had seen in those years, which were magnified in the newspapers.Secretary Chen kneaded the beer can into a ball 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 wine, and I stood by them quietly. I looked at the fireworks in the venue. One moment I thought it was very beautiful, but the next I heard a terrible cry, accompanied by the spread of the wind
"I, at that time, chose only one," he said
Aheng was stunned. Tears were falling from the corners of his eyes. Looking at him, he couldn''t believe it. Heartache squeezed her breath away. She couldn''t breathe. Finally, she was crazy and knocked him to the ground. She kept crying, dumb voice, roaring: "how can you, how can you give up him so easily?"
Secretary Chen''s eyes were numb and he wiped the blood stains from the corners of his mouth: "my first reaction was to catch Lu Liu. He grabbed his hand and looked at us with fear and supplication. I can''t carry two half year olds out together.
Yan Xi''s eyes almost expected the end of the sadness, Lu Liu mercilessly shook off his hand, said to me: "do not turn back, do not turn back." I didn''t know at that time that these were just plots that young Lu Liu thought of and trained Yan Xi''s mind.
"But I turned back. There were tears in Yan Xi''s eyes. He fell on the ground, so thin, looking up at the fast melting signboard, he tried to climb out
Desperate Desperate Desperate
"By the time I took luliu to safety, the bar had become a sea of fire, and I couldn''t tell where the fire was and where it was Yanxi," he said. I seem to hear him shouting "brother help me", but I can''t find him any more. I only find this burnt car. I can''t extricate myself. Almost every day is a nightmare. Lu Liu, unwilling to face Yan Xi, went to Vienna for the reason of studying abroad. "
He lay on his back and wept with a sad smile: "I promised him that I would love him just as I did to luliu. But in 1997, a month after Lu Liu left, I watched him insulted by the people Lin ruomei had found, and picked up the camera to end his pain. I yelled through the camera, his head drooping, his fists clenched in darkness. Lu Liu and I finally destroyed the silly child who was willing to give us unlimited sunshine. We destroyed love itself
Ah Heng breathed deeply, but his face was covered with tears. She kept rubbing her eyes and eyes with her sleeve, but squatted on the ground, crying.
In 1997, when Hong Kong returned to China, the whole country was jubilant. When she grew up, she was able to add half a bowl of food. The school sent her to participate in the mathematics competition in the city for the first time, and she was lucky to win the first prize.
The index is broken a lot, but it seems that everything has nothing to do with her Mr. Yan.
It was getting dark, and someone opened the door.
The man looked at the red car with a beautiful arc on the track, and there might have been cheers around many years ago. Maybe for the victory of one person, or for the failure of another.
In this city, some people lose completely, others win vanity.
He walked quietly past the man with glasses, tall and not like a child.
They all want him to grow up. Look, he''s older and bleaker than everyone else because of this growing up.
He took the address he had patched up in his hand, squatted down gently, and took the crying girl into his arms.
Ah Heng hung his head and trembled: "I can''t even find a reason to tell them in 1997 that the teenager they abandoned will be another person''s heart in 2003. They even nearly trampled on other people''s treasures for the reason of not knowing
Yan Xi Leng, thin eyes, good looking at the child, only to find that the sadness and pain in her eyes carved into the bone, can not be more profound.
Almost instantly, he understood what she was saying.
He felt sad, but he put aheng into his arms in a hurry: "baby, I''m climbing out. Look, I''m so powerful that I don''t need help. I know that the world is unfair, but I just don''t know what other people''s love looks like. "
Love is to abandon, love is to do what you can and then stand by. For them, love is everything, but not the appearance of love.
"I don''t need it, I don''t need it." He pinched ah Heng''s bone, almost into his own muscle. He said, "but Wen Heng, there is only one person in the world who must love me fairly. You have to love me alone. "
Wenheng, you must just love me.
Only you.
Ah Heng looked up at him and looked at him deeply. After a long time, he nodded gently.
She promised him justice, for she could only be so selfish in the future.
She rubbed away her tears and frowned, but she was so serious. She said to him, "I will keep you a hundred years old unless you are white and yellow."
Light a long life lamp and bargain for a hundred years. Yan Xi 97, ah Heng three years.
Swear with the gods and explain to the gods.
She can''t turn back.
