stubborn miss

Row after row of tombstones are stacked on the slope, recording the last memory of every person who has survived.From time to time, a breeze blows in the sky, as if the earth is breathing back and forth, reminding the living that this is the peace and tranquility that belongs to the dead.Wu Shaoyan held a food box and stopped Lu Yixuan who insisted on following him at the entrance of the cemetery. "It's too cold up there, don't go there."

"Ah? I also want to see your father!" 14-year-old Lu Yixuan was sitting in the car, her long hair fluttering out of the car window with the breeze.Sergio didn't say a word, just sat in the driver's seat with his eyes closed.

After pinching the girl's face, Wu Shaoyan said, "I'll just say goodbye to him, and it will be fine soon."

He found his father's tombstone in a corner.After setting out the side dishes in the food box, he toasted another glass of sake.

Wu Shaoyan sat on the open space in front of the tombstone, looking at the black stone tablet, his father was smiling gently, far from the tyrannical image in his memory.

"Hi, old man, long time no see."

After recovering his memory, his heart softened a lot, and he finally summoned up the courage to look at the previous nightmare.Wu Shaoyan picked up a glass containing wine and touched his father's photo lightly. "How many years has it been since you left? Ha, I can't remember. A lot of things have happened in the past few years..."

On the night when he learned about his mother and Uncle Lin, after Wu Shaoyan returned home, his father was throwing and smashing at home, still swearing.From those words, I learned that after seeing the slap marks on Wu Shaoyan's face, my mother chose to leave without saying goodbye, leaving only a train boarding form for another city.

His father took him to chase after him that day, and after several days of searching to no avail, he fainted on the street due to exhaustion.Later, when he was diagnosed with cancer in the hospital, that person suddenly lost everything.With the blow of the disease, the gentle appearance and violent inner nature disappeared, leaving only the poor shattered body and the disheartened mind.Before the man died, he seemed to have a little regret for the past.He stopped being so cursing when he mentioned his mother.

But Wu Shaoyan suddenly lost his goal because of his father's death. At that time, it was his daughter who comforted him.

It was also the girl who let him meet that person.

He began to learn to resist his own destiny, and wanted to free his daughter from her status as a "vessel", just because he could get a little closer to that person.In the past life, the forest was the only light in it. Even if you can't get close, it is a happy thing to feel it from a distance.It's just - as expected, he shouldn't get close, the darkness in his hands will not only erode himself, but also erode the people around him.

Wu Shaoyan gulped down the wine, "Sure enough, I still haven't been able to paint properly. Even without your obstruction, there are still a lot of junk waiting for me." He picked up the wine bottle and poured another glass of wine and spilled it on the ground, " You have been asking me to find a job that pays more money! Indeed, I found it, but I also paid a lot for it."

"Why can't things always make people feel better?" He smiled wryly in front of the stele, "I have tried many times, but...how should I say it? Every time it fails..."

Wu Shaoyan squeezed the wine glass in his hand hard, almost crushing it, "Is this the so-called god teaching me to 'accept fate'?" Is it true that I have to learn to breathe in the dark all my life?

The distant wind rolled the grass and floated over, blowing on his face.A bird stopped on the tombstone, looked left and right a few times, and then quickly flapped its wings and flew away.If the father really gave any response, is it an affirmation or a denial?

"This is your room?" In the small side room on the first floor, Lin Zhongli looked curiously at the furnishings in the room.

"Yes, that's right, don't touch anything, we'll leave after we've found something, you know?" Wu Shaoyan blocked Lin Zhongli to the door, and said with full momentum.

"I know, I know, go find it!" The man nodded repeatedly, turned his body around, and urged.

The side hall where they stayed before was given over to He Bixia and Qing Sheng.Otherwise, that paralyzed face would rush over to pull Qing Sheng and Mrs. Ximan away.To be honest, I really don't know why Bixia is so angry, but at first glance, it's clearly just a play!Even if Qingsheng is a clone of Lu Zhusheng, how could it be possible to suddenly become so good in a short period of time!Wu Shaoyan suddenly felt that He Bixia might be a fool with two hundred catties of water in his head.

Just when Lin Zhongli was about to lose his facial paralysis, Qing Sheng saw a few of them first, and waved his hands again and again to prevent them from approaching.After a while, he took the initiative to run to the side hall where they were staying.

After seeing Qing Sheng, Wu Shaoyan was taken aback.The baby fat of the past has long since faded away, and Qing Sheng, who is in her 20s, looks more similar to bamboo fungus.Professor Lu has always kept a photo, which is a single photo of Lu Zhusheng not long before his death.Lu Zhusheng at that time should have been Qingsheng's age now, because, looking at it now, the appearance of the two of them has completely overlapped.

"Brother..." As soon as Qing Sheng saw Wu Shaoyan, tears flickered and he rushed over.The previous image that made people feel mature was broken in a second, and it became a familiar look.

"You, why is your problem still not cured? Why are you crying? How old are you still crying?" Wu Shaoyan pulled Qing Shengxiong's hand that was holding him.

"Because, I haven't seen you for a long time..." Qing Sheng sniffed and forced back tears.

"Stop doing this, tell me first, what are you doing here? Where is Xuanxuan?" I just looked around in the hall, but I didn't see Lu Yixuan and Sergio.

"The two of them asked me to hold Mrs. Seaman, and then disappeared... As a result, several people wanted to talk to Mrs. Seaman, so I avoided them." Qing Sheng looked confused, "They didn't tell me either. How many things..."

Wu Shaoyan was a little unconvinced, "Didn't you lie to me..." Thinking about it now, when he lost his memory, Qing Sheng still had the most things in his possession, and he still had an innocent look on his face.

"If you finish talking, can you return Qingsheng to me?" He Bixia, who had endured for a long time, finally spoke.

Just like that, he and Lin Zhongli were almost kicked out of the side hall... Alas, Wu Shaoyan wandered outside the door for a long time before he thought of the place where Lu Yixuan might go back, but that place requires a key card to enter.And in his room, there happened to be a key card.

The book fell to the ground with a clatter, Wu Shaoyan looked up from the top of the cabinet, Lin Zhongli raised his hands innocently, "I didn't do anything."

"Then did these books fall from my own long legs?"

He was answered with a perfect smile, Lin Zhongli tilted his head and smiled, "Yes~"

"Who are you lying to?!"

Wu Shaoyan ran over and grabbed Lin Zhongli by the collar, "I seriously suspect that you are a troublemaker sent by the organization. I will give you 5 minutes to explain what kind of medicine you sell in this gourd!"

Lin Zhongli withdrew his smile, "Did you forget what you promised me earlier?"

"What did I promise you..." It's over... This guy is talking about the bet before, and there are too many things that happened after that, Wu Shaoyan completely forgot about it.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Lin Zhongli spoke again, "It seems that I remembered it, very good." The man's mellow voice lingered in his ear, "We've already agreed... When everything is over, we'll just talk to you." I'm leaving!"

"But..." Wu Shaoyan was about to speak, but the man sealed his mouth with a kiss, "No but, even if it is to tie me up this time, I will tie you back."

"You, get out of the way!" Wu Shaoyan's face turned red again, it was clearly not the first kiss, but his heart was still the same as before, about to jump out of his chest.

In order to hide his flustered heartbeat, he squatted on the ground and packed his books, muttering alone, "Really, messing up other people's rooms..."

Lin Zhongli sighed, knelt down to pack together with Wu Shaoyan, picked up his sketchbook, and Wu Shaoyan snatched it away.

"That, that..." It's over, what a guilty conscience!There is no face of that person in it!

Wu Shaoyan cursed his subconscious reaction in his heart, and sure enough, the man's eyes narrowed, and he became interested in that notebook instead.

"...you painted me again?" the man teased him.

"No! No, no, no, no, no! Don't talk nonsense!" This time, it was true, since all the "criminal evidence" had been disposed of by him.

"Huh?" Lin Zhongli smiled and approached Wu Shaoyan, "Who will believe what you said?" After speaking, he quickly pulled out the sketchbook from his hand, turned his head and flipped through it.

"Turn it over! If you don't have it, you don't have it!" Hehehe, fortunately, he remembers to tear it up every time he draws it, otherwise it would be really embarrassing if he was exposed in person...

Lin Zhongli turned his hand to a page and stopped, staring at Wu Shaoyan with interest, "I didn't even think about it, so you think of me so much, you almost thought you were careless."

...Dried shrimp?

Wu Shaoyan also leaned over, the paper was very crumpled, but he could still see the manly face of one of Laocoon's sons where he pointed in the forest.

"It's not just this one." Lin Zhongli turned the book forward, and every two or three pages, the paper he had torn off was glued back again, some were complete portraits of men, and some were drawing other things A semi-finished product that was unconsciously drawn at the time.

"What? Do you think I've come to the point where I can draw anything?"

Wu Shaoyan didn't listen carefully to the man's subsequent voice, because a raging anger suddenly appeared in his body.

"Uh...Lu Yixuan..." He yelled that name in a low voice, and sped up his search for the door card.

Damn, who worked so hard for three years to bring up that child?Why didn't you think about it when you turned your elbow outward!

"Got you."

The girl whose back was facing Wu Shaoyan froze for a while before turning around.The girl was holding a bag of blood in her hand, ready to put it in the refrigerator.

"What do you want to do? Do you want to poison those people?" The girl lowered her hand, "Do you think that after poisoning them, no new people will appear?"

In the cold room, the girl lowered her head like an ice sculpture.

Lin Zhongli should be holding Sergio outside now!Perhaps because he didn't expect the appearance of the two of them, Sergio's expression was very vivid when he saw them.

This place is a blood bank for girls' "useful" blood.These bloods will be sent to the "Queen Bees" on a regular basis. The girl's idea is too simple, thinking that using Qingsheng to contain Mrs. Seaman, and then switching the blood, can destroy the top of the Salvation Society.

"Even if you pollute the blood and poison them all to death, what then?"

"How could you..." the girl lowered her head and muttered.

"Isn't it your idea to let Finx out? To keep me out."

Wu Shaoyan walked over and took the blood bag from Lu Yixuan's hand, "The plan started when you deliberately showed me Dr. Fox's information? Let Ali take me away and block me, so you can do these things boldly. Did you ask Sergio to kill the man who died in the ballroom?"

"No!" The girl's appearance of crying was very pitiful.

"No! But... I'm scared, I'm afraid my mother will do something to you again..." Lu Yixuan retorted loudly, "...selfish...I'm too selfish. Because I saw you playing with your niece, I just I thought, it would be great if there was such a person to accompany me. As a result..." The girl became more and more excited as she spoke, "I pulled you in...I made you leave Ali...I always regret it very much. , but I can't bear to let you go..."

"The incident in the dance hall made me sober. If I let you stay here again, one day you will be killed by me... After all, I am a monster..."

Wu Shaoyan silently looked at Lu Yixuan who kept talking in front of him, in a daze, the image of the girl overlapped with himself many years ago.

Will fate always be like this?Non-stop, non-stop, reincarnation in a person's short life.

Are you trying to give some pointers to those who are in trouble?

He stepped forward and hugged Lu Yixuan who was trying hard not to shed tears, "How could you be a monster?"

In those countless waking nights, the girl was the last fetter that Wu Shaoyan was willing to live in.He thought about the way of death countless times, because in his mind, he always felt that this life had no possibility of intersecting with the forest—death would be the closest way to that person.Every time I think of this, the girl's face always emerges.Ah, can't die yet.That's it.

Both Nannan and Lu Yixuan allowed Wu Shaoyan to survive the most miserable time, allowing him to meet the angel in the forest again.

Before, I always gave up too early and too early, thinking that companionship is salvation and reward, but I didn't expect to push the girl into such a painful situation.If you don’t like the life, don’t you just live it?If you want something, go after it and see if it’s all right?Why stick to "shouldn't" and "can't"?How can there be so many "no"s?

How many barriers in this world are just human demons.

Wu Shaoyan's own voice in his heart became louder and louder, "Xuanxuan, do you want to go with me?"

The girl's tears dripped onto his clothes, gradually spreading, and the water stains became bigger and bigger, just like the voice in Wu Shaoyan's heart that became more and more determined.
