It was late at night when we returned to Taoyuan, and Aunt Fang should have rested.

In order not to make any noise to wake her up, the two entered the room tacitly and lightly, without turning on the lights, covered by the moonlight coming in through the window, their steps were as light as thieves.

Suddenly, Zhu Shen's center of gravity tilted, he bumped into something, and he was about to jump straight forward.A trace of panic flashed in Zhong Heng's eyes in the dark night, he didn't care about thinking about anything, and his strong arms directly pulled him into his arms.

Zhong Heng's chest was burning hot, and his heart seemed to be still beating.

——This was Zhu Shen's first thought when he was pulled into his arms.

Under the half-bright moonlight and street lights that entered the room, the shadows of the two were cast on the wall. Because Zhong Heng's hands were clasped tightly and Zhu Shen's head was slightly raised, they overlapped. It is as if the shadow is dancing an intimate dance.

Suddenly, the chandelier was turned on, and the wall was completely white, without any traces.

Aunt Fang held the light remote control in one hand, and rubbed her sleepy eyes with the other: "Ah Heng is deeply... back..."

Take a closer look, it's incredible, what are the two of them doing!

Zhu Shen and Zhong Heng let go of their hands at the same time, one moved forward and the other retreated, with a large gap between them.

"Oh! I didn't see anything!" Aunt Fang covered her eyes and ran to her room, "Go to bed early!"

While speaking, he did not forget to hold the remote control and press it with his backhand, the chandelier was immediately turned off, and the room instantly became dark.

Zhu Shen: "..."

Zhong Heng took two steps and moved away the corrugated box at Zhu Shen's feet, now he was standing in front of Zhu Shen.

With the palm of his right hand against his left chest, he shook his head slightly.

He's obviously not a teenager anymore, but as soon as he gets close to Zhu Shen, his heart still beats non-stop.

But he didn't want to change, he just allowed his heart to be so presumptuous for a while.

It seems that this is the only way to prove that he is alive.

Zhu Shen touched his burning ears, looked at the removed corrugated box and thought of something, and asked Zhong Heng: "Are you free tomorrow?"

Zhong Heng said softly, "Yes."

Zhu Shen walked upstairs and said, "Accompany me to a place?"

accompany me.He said.

Zhong Heng clenched his palms tightly and replied solemnly: "Okay."

Zhu Shen suddenly turned around and smiled at him: "Aren't you going to ask me where I'm going?"

Zhong Heng put his hands behind his back and shook his head lightly.

It's good to go anywhere.

Zhu Shen smiled again, turned and went back to his room.

Zhong Heng stood at Zhu Shen's door, separated by a door, but felt very at ease.

How many nights, when he came back from the company, he silently guarded the light from the door and the floor, guessing what Zhu Shen might be doing inside, and just thinking about it, his heart was able to calm down slowly.

It's good enough to be outside the door, why is he so clumsy that he can't find an excuse to go in.

Fearing that his acting skills were not good enough, Zhu Shen smiled at him, and he almost failed.So he only dared to stand outside the door, using Ye's disguise to secretly be a silent guard.

Standing with bare hands, silence is his shield, darkness is his armor.

Suddenly hearing the sound of footsteps getting closer to the door, Zhong Heng frowned, his heart beating faster, for fear that Zhu Shen would open the door.

I got a little carried away today, I shouldn't have been so close, and I didn't have a cup in my hand, so I couldn't make an excuse to go downstairs to pour water.

But Zhu Shen's footsteps were caught by the ringing of the mobile phone, so the footsteps in the room stopped, but he was still very close to the door, and Zhong Heng could vaguely hear his voice.

He said, "Hello, Bo Liang?"

Zhong Heng's face froze, as if a basin of cold water had been poured on his head in the cold weather, which made his heart feel cold.

"Did you find something?" Bo Liang's voice was a little nervous, as if he had caught a life-saving straw: "Anything about him is fine."

Zhu Shen sighed softly, this person, when Jiang Yi was mentioned, he always looked so nervous.

If only he had found out sooner.

It's a pity that there is no if.

Zhu Shen pinched the photo in his hand and said to him: "There is only one old photo, what do you want?"

Searching through Zhu's house, I can only find this.

Jiang Yi's name is a taboo of the Zhu family, and his existence is a disgrace to the Zhu family. After Jiang Yi left, Mr. Zhu burned all his belongings in a fit of anger, as if to erase all traces of his existence. .

Jiang Yi was the same age as Zhu Shen. His mother passed away when he was eight years old. He was helpless and had congenital heart disease, so he had to be sent to Zhu's family.

Because of his illness, Jiang Yi was thin and small when he was a child, and his health has always been bad, but no one cared for him.

Mr. Zhu rejected him the most, saying that Jiang Yi would not be able to change his surname to Zhu if he was around for a day.Mr. Zhu also personally went to Zhu Shen's mother's mother's house to apologize, saying that he had raised an unfilial son, and that beatings and scolding were all at the discretion of his in-laws.After all, back then, he was the most optimistic about this marriage.

With such a layer of reasons, Jiang Yi's life was not very good since he was a child.

When he was a child, he liked to follow Zhu Shen very much, and his older brothers called him short.But Zhu Shen didn't like Jiang Yi, forbade him to call him brother, and said in front of many people that he hated illegitimate children the most.

But whenever a servant made things difficult for Jiang Yi, pushed him to the ground, or abused him wantonly, Zhu Shen would immediately stand in front of Jiang Yi to protect him.

It's hard to tell Zhu Shen's attitude towards Jiang Yi, once Jiang Yi clings to Zhu Shen like bean paste, Zhu Shen immediately tells him to go away.

They were in the same class in high school, but Zhu Shen never paid attention to him, and Jiang Yi quietly waited for Zhu Shen to go home together after school.He was occasionally injured, and he didn't know who was bullying him. It wasn't until Zhu Shen took the initiative to pull him into the car sent by Zhu's family to pick him up in front of everyone, that Jiang Yi had a hard time in Zall. Not so hard anymore.

Jiang Yi was the first to know that Zhu Shen liked Bo Liang, and at the time he vowed to help Zhu Shen chase him.

Which Cheng wanted to chase after him, but Bo Liang's love was deeply rooted.

Bo Liang publicly stated that he liked Jiang Yi in their sophomore year of high school, I remember it was May.

Jiang Yi grabbed Zhu Shen's hand and begged Zhu Shen to believe him.

Maybe Zhu Shen was moved by Jiang Yi's bright eyes at that time, even though Bo Liang made trouble for him later, he never thought about whether Jiang Yi was a hindrance.

Later, Jiang Yi elopes with Bo Liang.

Zhu Bo's family became the laughing stock of the whole Yancheng, but the two of them became the pioneers who dared to pursue love.

Zhu Shen is very forgetful. After a life-and-death calamity, he has already forgotten many things in the past.In the shells of country N, the past passed before his eyes like a revolving lantern.

Suddenly, I feel that those violent and hot emotions, likes and dislikes, are completely covered in dust and colors. I can't say it's regretful or sad, just a little embarrassing.

For a long time, his world was black and white, and even his feelings seemed dull and empty.

It is only now that there are signs of improvement. Even if he has nightmares all night, he still wants to draw the best painting.

... I don't know who it is for?

"Yes." Bo Liang's voice trembled inexplicably, and then said softly to Zhu Shen, "Thank you."

Zhu Shen squinted his eyes and looked at the photo in his hand, which he asked Uncle Zhang for in the evening.

Uncle Zhang said that when Mr. Zhu burned Jiang Yi's things back then, he found such a photo when he went to clean it up. He didn't dare to deal with it privately, and he didn't dare to annoy the old man. After thinking about it, he had to lock it at the bottom of his drawer.

The photo is quite old, and there is a burn mark in the upper right corner, the size of a thumb, but the background is only eaten away by the flames, and the face is still clear.

Even looking at this photo again, Zhu Shen felt as if there were hands strangling his throat.

Without him, the woman in the photo looks too much like Fu Yunzhi.

But he could still tell that it wasn't Fu Yunzhi at a glance.

Fu Yunzhi's makeup and hair are always elegant and decent, and he doesn't wear a long braid like noodles in clear soup.The child beside her was about five or six years old, and looked a bit like Zhu Shen at first glance, but his eyes were not.

Zhu Shen's eyes are slightly narrower and longer than his, and the end of the eyes is also raised, delicate and attractive.But the child's eyes drooped slightly, making him look even more innocent and cute.

Uncle Zhang told Zhu Shen that this woman was Jiang Xue and she was Jiang Yi's mother.

Since childhood, Zhu Shen had heard people say that Jiang Yi looked sixty to seven times like himself, except that it was because of the same father, he did not expect that their mothers also looked so similar.

Zhu Shen's father, Zhu Song, in Yancheng Metropolitan Road, spent a lot of thought on catching up with Fu Yunzhi, but in Zhu Shen's memory, the relationship between his father and mother has always been bad.

The mother is always cold, and the father has always had a hot face and a cold ass | As time goes by, the family is terribly gloomy, and the old man Zhu asked them to be more or less happy in front of Zhu Shen.

But Fu Yunzhi's expression was always indifferent, even when Jiang Yi lived in Zhu's house, she didn't say much.She was not angry or sad, but she never talked to Zhu Song again.

It's a pity that Zhu Song died of illness four years ago, otherwise he would have to ask Zhu Song what's going on.

Who did he use as a substitute?

What is Fu Yunzhi?What is Jiang Xue?What are he and Jiang Yi?

What is the reason for their inextricable coincidence and connection?

In my impression, Jiang Yi always likes to be close to Fu Yunzhi. When he saw Fu Yunzhi teaching Zhu Shen to paint, he was very envious. He quietly huddled in the corner of the studio and watched without saying a word.

Fu Yunzhi didn't chase him away, and didn't speak to him, just let him watch silently.Fu Yunzhi is always indifferent and alienated to everyone, but she will be fierce to Zhu Shen.If one stroke is wrong, Fu Yunzhi will yell at him, saying that he is not worthy to be his son.

Jiang Yi would be so frightened that he would run out of the studio crying, Zhu Shen looked at the half-opened door and faced Fu Yunzhi's stern scolding, and couldn't help thinking, this little skinny monkey is really not scary.

It's not like him, I'm used to it.

Occasionally, Zhu Shen will deliberately draw two wrong strokes to make Fu Yunzhi unhappy, but if Fu Yunzhi doesn't say hurtful things, Zhu Shen is unwilling to fully reveal his talent.

When Jiang Yi was sick, he would call his mother. When Fu Yunzhi passed by his room, he took Zhu Shen to visit him once.It was only once that Zhu Shen saw the rare tenderness of a mother on Fu Yunzhi's face.The cold palm touched Jiang Yi's forehead, and even the voice was warm: "Well, I'm here."

Jiang Yi was dizzy from the fever, opened his eyes with difficulty, and cried in a mess.

Bo Liang's voice brought Zhu Shen back to reality. He seemed impatient and asked Zhu Shen, "Can you give me the photo tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow?"

"Ah."

Zhu Shen summed it up, he and Zhong Heng would take the painting during the day tomorrow, and he should still have time when he came back in the evening, so he said to Bo Liang, "Tomorrow then."

For a moment, it seemed that he heard someone's footsteps stepping on his door in a daze. Zhu Shen felt strange and opened the door, but found nothing.

Maybe I heard wrong, he thought.

So the door was closed again.

"Can it be during the day?" Bo Liang asked again.

"I have an appointment during the day." Zhu Shen chuckled, secretly wondering how Zhong Heng would react when he saw the peach blossom he painted.

Hearing his brisk tone, Bo Liang probably already guessed who he had an appointment with, and couldn't help sighing softly: "That's great."

Zhu Shen touched his hot cheek and said, "It's very good."

As for what is good, he hasn't figured it out yet.

But what does it matter?

The author has something to say: I played outside today, so I didn’t come back

Thanks for mine 8 tomorrow, mua!
